万一这个剧组要是有什么不能说的事儿，叶青是万万不会蹚这个浑水的。
既然是谈，那肯定是要把事情问清楚了才可以。
After all, someone who can be a producer, even if they're not a particularly mature businessman, must at least have high emotional and intellectual intelligence. How could someone like that be so impatient when negotiating contracts?
This is unusual in itself.
The producer knew he was acting too anxious, so he hesitated about whether to show Ye Qing the official contract. Before he could decide, Ye Qing asked him the question directly.
Although the producer had heard of Ye Qing before, Ye Qing was indeed young. It's not that they looked down on Ye Qing for being so young, but they had a preconceived notion that Ye Qing's success was mostly due to luck, and they overlooked Ye Qing's actual abilities.
While Ye Qing's success today is partly due to luck, it is also inseparable from her own abilities and hard work.
Although the producer was surprised by Ye Qing's words, he quickly suppressed his surprise after realizing that he might have underestimated Ye Qing. After a moment of silence, he said directly, "I think you were able to find our crew because Xu Xiaoyue told you, right?"
Ye Qing blinked. "I heard it from Ye Shuang. What does this have to do with Xu Xiaoyue?"
The producer was also taken aback. Knowing that Xu Xiaoyue and Ye Qing had a good relationship, even though Ye Qing was brought to the set by Ye Shuang to discuss cooperation, the producer assumed that Ye Qing was actually listening to Xu Xiaoyue because Xu Xiaoyue and Ye Shuang were from the same company.
Surprisingly, it wasn't.
But whether it is or not, it doesn't really make a difference to the producer.
Moreover, the production team is currently in a hurry to reach a cooperation agreement with Ye Qing, not only because Ye Qing's brand is suitable, but also because they can't afford to delay any longer.
"Actually, when our production team was first preparing for the project, Xu Xiaoyue was our first choice for the female lead. She was originally a model, and after transitioning to acting, her acting skills are quite good. You could say she was the only choice for our female lead. After all, it's really difficult to find an actress who can meet the height requirements of a model. We had already contacted her before Xu Xiaoyue got married, and she was also interested in acting. We thought it was a done deal and were planning to sign the contract, but her agency still had some objections to some of the terms, so we were still negotiating and the contract was not signed for the time being."
Although there were some objections, they were all minor issues and not a big deal, so we didn't push too hard.
Who knew she would be involved in so many news stories after getting married?
Although her mother-in-law's incident happened, she was the victim. It did affect our TV series, but we still gained some popularity, so continuing to use Xu Xiaoyue was fine. However, she is pregnant.
Her pregnancy completely disrupted all our plans. We originally had a clothing sponsor, but they only sponsored it because of Xu Xiaoyue.
Now that Xu Xiaoyue is pregnant, you can see her belly, so it's obviously inappropriate to insist on her acting. If this were a period drama, it would be fine, as the clothes could cover her belly, but it's a modern drama, and she's playing a model, so being pregnant is definitely not an option.
If we insist on waiting until Xu Xiaoyue gives birth, there won't be enough time. First of all, our drama is adapted from a foreign drama, and the copyright is about to expire. If we don't start filming, we'll have to spend money to renew the copyright, which is a huge sum of money. Secondly, if we wait for her, there are so many people in the crew. Should we disband or not? If we disband, it will be difficult to reunite them. If we don't disband, we'll have to pay their salaries. So, even before we start filming, the salaries alone will cost a lot of money.
After weighing the options, we decided to find someone else to play the role. After all, we hadn't signed a contract with Xu Xiaoyue yet, so it would be easier to find someone else. However, we couldn't find a suitable actor among the existing ones, so we found a complete newcomer. Since the newcomer had no fame at all, the clothing manufacturers that originally sponsored us were definitely not willing to accept it.
That's why we started talking about new apparel partners again.
Because of copyright issues, we have to start filming. Delaying it would require paying for a copyright extension.
After hearing what the producer said, Ye Qing felt relieved, realizing that there was nothing he couldn't say.
These twists and turns were unexpected by everyone.
However, because it was somewhat related to Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing couldn't help but say, "Xiaoyue probably didn't want things to develop to this point either."
The producer quickly waved his hand: "Ye Qing, you misunderstood. We didn't mean to blame Xu Xiaoyue for this. She hadn't signed a contract yet, and this didn't happen to her. We can understand that, but while we understand, we can't just shut down such a large production team like ours."
The producer's words were truly heartfelt, and Ye Qing expressed her understanding.
Seeing that Ye Qing didn't say anything, the producer didn't continue talking about these twists and turns, and instead steered the conversation to the contract.
Ye Qing said, "After I went back yesterday, I thought about it and I still feel that since we've already collaborated, and it's an urban drama, have you found all the filming locations? For example, the clothing company where the female lead works later?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, the producer immediately understood what Ye Qing meant: "I originally wanted to tell you about this, but I was too anxious and overlooked it. We were planning to use your flagship store as a main scene in the play."
It has to be said that this collaboration went very smoothly.
Ye Qing thought about the contract terms that she had the lawyer supplement earlier, and then left the rest to her colleagues in the advertising department to discuss with the producer.
After all, the people in the advertising department are professionals when it comes to these things, and they can definitely negotiate greater benefits for the studio than you can yourself.
Because the production team really couldn't wait any longer, and Ye Qing and the others didn't mention any harsh conditions; everything was decided by the producer alone.
So the agreement was reached quickly. The producer wanted to sign the contract now because he was afraid that things might change later. He was worried that Ye Qing might back out later, but he wasn't afraid of that, as long as Ye Qing sought compensation.
Ye Qing had no objection, but insisted that their lawyer be present.
Brother Wang understood and was just waiting for the lawyer to arrive so they could sign the contract.
While her colleagues were chatting with the producer, Ye Qing's phone rang, and she went outside to answer it.
The call was from Yang Zi, who told Ye Qing that she had made up her mind and decided to take Ye Qing's order.
This was within Ye Qing's expectations and not particularly surprising.
However, Ye Qing still asked Yang Zi out of curiosity, "May I know why you agreed to take this role, Sister Yang?"
Although the factory would struggle to survive without orders if Yang Zi didn't accept them, accepting them would be frustrating for her.
Therefore, Ye Qing was very curious.
