The atmosphere on the set was terrifyingly quiet. Everyone couldn't help but think of the conflict just now. Qin Bao Bao's grievance, Guo Zhengyu's excessive request, and the director's carrot and stick words.
Oh right, Guo Zhengyu just said, "What right does he have to tell me what to do?"
The assistant director's eyes widened, and his face was blank.
The executive director swallowed his saliva.
The crew members were speechless.
The director's body swayed, and he felt as if the heavens were going to kill him. In order to prepare for this movie, he had spent a year and a half. However, the road to success was strewn with setbacks. The investor withdrew their investment at the critical moment, leaving him in an extremely awkward situation. Then, a second investor quickly filled his position. Who knew …
No, I have to save him.
The director turned around, and a flattering smile appeared on his face. He ran to Qin Ze like a lackey. "Boss Qin, Boss Qin, you're visiting incognito. Look at this mess, if you'd explained the situation earlier …"
It was so awkward that the director couldn't continue.
The crew members couldn't bear to see this scene, and they felt sorry for the director.
Boss Qin was very calm, and his posture as he sat on the stool couldn't help but reveal a sense of firmness. While exhaling smoke, he didn't forget to throw a flirtatious look at the beautiful sister.
Sure enough, it was better to show off in front of the sister.
"This way, I can see more clearly and more carefully." Boss Qin smiled meaningfully. "Don't you think so, director? Oh right, what's your surname? "
"My surname is Xu."
Boss Qin nodded, turned to the sister, and said softly, "Don't film anymore. What kind of rubbish role is this? Just focus on singing."
With his temper, he would only invest if he saw ghosts. His original intention was to appear in the crew as a "savior", to blind the sister and show off a little. Who would have thought that he would see the sister being bullied?
Qin Bao Bao whispered, "But I don't have any jobs recently. What else can I do besides film?"
Qin Ze thought for a while, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a "Ding" from the system. "Host, your desires have been detected. There are currently two missions for you to consider."
The system actually asked for my opinion when giving out missions?
"Mission 1: Slap the director in the face and leave with your teddy and sister."
"Mission 2: Act as the male lead in the movie and increase investment in the movie."
Qin Ze was stunned. "The first task was to ask for my understanding. After all, my sister was bullied and I was angry. What's with the second mission? I'm not interested in acting. "
"You are not interested in acting, but you are interested in …"
"Alright, that's enough." Qin Ze hurriedly interrupted. In the future, he would not dwell on such things. He would always be slapped in the face by the system. "I choose the second mission."
[Mission generated. Success will reward 400 points. Failure will deduct the same amount.]
"Director Xu, I won't pretend that nothing happened. Now, I'll give you two options." Qin Ze put out the cigarette and threw it into the paper cup. "The first option is for us to leave right now. We won't be filming the movie anymore. You can choose another character and find another investor. However, I reckon that you won't be able to get any investors in a short period of time. If that's the case, other than reducing your budget and making a lousy show, you can only stop filming. The longer it drags on, the more likely the other investors will withdraw their investment. "
The director nodded. That made sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.
"What's the second option?"
Qin Ze sneered and pointed at Guo Zhengyu. "Get him out of here. I'll be the male lead."
Wow, Azé was so domineering.
Qin Bao Bao looked at him.
The crew was in an uproar.
Kick out the male lead? How could that be possible? The male lead was one of the selling points. Countless Guo Zhengyu's fans were looking forward to the release of the movie. It was too risky to change the male lead.
Guo Zhengyu sneered. "Director, there are so many people jumping up and down for a little money."
He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. In this movie, other than him, the female lead was a B-lister and the second male lead was a C-lister. In other words, he was the boss of this movie. Without him, the crew couldn't handle it.
Boss Qin patted the director's shoulder. "It's up to you whether to wait for a lousy show or for the other investors to withdraw their investment. I heard from Boss Su that Director Xu has been preparing for a long time. I don't think he wants to mess it up. Although I'm not a regular artist, I'm a little famous. With my sister, the female lead, and the second male lead, the lineup isn't bad. "
The director was in a dilemma. "But the other investors …"
"You're in charge of this. If it doesn't work, get them out." Qin Ze looked like a domineering CEO. "If you need money, just ask Boss Su."
In China, a movie with hundreds of millions of investment was considered large-scale. The most expensive part of a movie was the actors and special effects. But "Bloody Battle in Shanghai Beach" wasn't that expensive. The special effects' budget was almost negligible.
Tens of millions of yuan was nothing to Qin Ze.
Li Yanhong saw Qin Bao Bao staring at her brother. Her eyes were blurred and she waved her hand in front of her face. "Bao Bao, Bao Bao?"
"What's the matter?" Qin Bao Bao blushed.
"Remember to add more scenes for yourself when the deal is done," Li Yanhong whispered.
The director's brain was working at high speed, weighing the pros and cons.
Although it was very hurtful to change the protagonist at the last minute, there were many such examples. It wasn't unacceptable. Now the money was the key. Without money, the movie couldn't be made. All the efforts would be wasted. If the budget was reduced and the quality was greatly reduced, then it would ruin his reputation and be detrimental to his career. At present, the movie was halfway through. It would take at most two or three days to reshoot the scenes of the male lead.
The director gritted his teeth. "Okay, we'll do as Boss Qin says."
There was another burst of discussion in the crew.
Guo Zhengyu couldn't believe it and widened his eyes. "Director?"
Director Xu waved his hand.
Guo Zhengyu said angrily, "Okay, we have a contract. Your crew breached the contract. I'll let the studio's people deal with the compensation."
He left angrily with his three assistants.
Qin Ze glanced at his sister's hot body in a cheongsam. "We may not be able to shoot today. Let's go back first. I'll let Su Yu talk here."
In terms of breadth of knowledge, Su Yu beat him. Qin Ze was very relieved to leave things to Su Yu. At most, he would call the employees of the legal department. The company has been established for a month, and the framework has been set up.
The director personally sent the sister and brother out of the set with an attentive attitude.
"Don't send us off," Qin Ze put his arm in front of his sister. Qin Bao was just about to take her brother's arm when she suddenly heard Su Teddy's voice from behind. "Qin Ze, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
His sister's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Another day, I'll go home and read the script." Qin Ze raised the script given by the director.
"Then I'll say it." Su Yu smiled happily.
Speaking of which, Su Yu was quite clingy these days. She ran to his office when she had nothing to do. It was not enough to have lunch together, and she also wanted to have dinner together. Although Qin Ze had zero experience in love, at least he was not a fool. He had a bold idea.
When Qin Ze handed his arm to his sister again, his sister scolded, "No, get out!"
The vinegar jar was overturned again!
Qin Ze sat in his sister's nanny car. Li Yanhong also wanted to come in, but Qin Ze sent her away. "Sister Li, you sit in the front. I have something to talk to her about."
Li Yanhong had to go with the driver.
"Sister, do you want a lollipop?"
"No, get out!"
Baby Qin crossed her arms and turned her face to the side, crossing her legs.
"Don't go too far. I just spent a birthday with Su Yu. Do you have to ignore me for a week?" Qin Ze was not happy.
His sister turned her face sideways out of the window and snorted.
"I apologize, I was wrong, forgive me." Qin Ze read the lines. He said similar words to his sister and Wang Zijin.
His sister ignored him.
"I'll roll on the ground and beg for forgiveness." Qin Ze made a big move.
His sister stretched out her slender white finger and pointed at her feet. "Roll on the ground. After you roll, I'll consider whether to forgive you or not."
Hey, if he didn't teach her a lesson, she wouldn't know what it means to be a younger brother.
Qin Ze poked his sister's waist with his fingers like a sword: "Roll on the ground, right?"
Every time he poked, his sister screamed and rolled on the spacious seat. Her hands, which were actually very suitable for playing the piano, pushed her brother in vain.
He bullied his sister for nearly five minutes, and his sister's screams lasted for five minutes. During this time, Li Yanhong called them a few times from the co-driver's seat. Especially because of the partition, she couldn't see the scene here. She only heard the movement.
Qin Ze said, "It's okay, Sister Xu, we're just playing."
Baby Qin was crying and laughing at the same time, begging for help.
Li Yanhong was helpless. She was used to it. Many times when they got along, the style was not right.
At this time, his sister was lying on the chair like a dead dog. Her hair was messy, her chest was heaving, and she was gasping for breath. She sniffled, curled herself up in the spacious seat, and then hugged her chest in an aggrieved and hurt posture.
"You only know how to bully me." She choked on her sobs and began to cry.
Originally, it was a fake cry, but when she saw that her brother didn't come over to coax her, she really cried.
Qin Ze took a few tissues and helped her wipe her tears. "You want me to bully others?"
"Then I'll fight you." Qin Bao Bao's nasal voice was thick.
Qin Ze didn't speak. He carefully wiped her tears and pushed away the hair covering her cheeks.
Qin Bao Bao's charming face was about to cry. Her eyes were wet, and there was a touch of grievance and tenderness. She sniffled and said, "What's going on between you and Su Yu? You, you like her, don't you?"
Qin Ze said in a low voice, "Sister Ziyan should be the one asking that question."
Qin Bao Bao's tears suddenly gushed out. She raised her foot and kicked him.
