Producer Qin came out to look for Si Qingjiu. He was worried that when he arrived, he didn't know where he was. They wouldn't notice him making a phone call, as everyone was on mute mode and concentrating on the interview, so he was afraid that he would have to wait for a long time.
But before he could find anyone, he was stopped by this troublesome guy and felt so unlucky.
Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw the person with his back to him turned around, and he was immediately delighted.
He pushed away the person who was blocking him, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Si Qingjiu, you are here. Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
After that, he greeted Luo Hua, who was considered an old friend, and Gu Ruian, who was also an acquaintance: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Gu."
"Producer Qin."
All three of them called out as a return gesture.
"Mr. Si, the audition has already started. Please come with me. Director Pang has been thinking about you." Producer Qin invited Si Qing to drink, full of respect.
Everyone was surprised when he took the initiative to greet Si Qingjiu with such a nice attitude.
Producer Qin knew almost everyone present, and even those he didn't know, he had a basic understanding of them before they came for the audition.
Originally, a film crew does not have a fixed producer. Strictly speaking, the producer is in charge of the entire crew, coordinating various logistical post-production, funding and so on.
This kind of power is very great and can almost determine the direction of a crew, so gradually, another word was changed to producer.
The producer and the production manager are put together. In many cases, the producer is also the production manager, the one who pays the money.
The person who managed the crew's logistics, coordinated the actors, linked up with funds, etc., became the producer, and his rights were broken down into more specific details.
Therefore, many crews do not have fixed producers.
But Director Pang is an exception.
Their team is an integrated whole that covers all functions, and each of them is a leader in the industry, which means that the TV series and movies they produce are of high quality and have a very high reputation, and everyone is scrambling to get in.
It's not that no one wants to imitate. They put together a complete team and join the group as a whole. After a long time, they will cooperate well, become familiar with each other's models, and make money together.
But human hearts are difficult to control. In many cases, there is no friendship or brotherhood at all, only interests.
This also led to many people in the industry secretly cursing Director Pang for being lucky to have met such good business partners.
It's not that there are people who want to poach our employees, but they also know that they probably don't have as much freedom as Director Pang. Director Pang is a very tolerant person. He is willing to listen to everyone's opinions.
Go your own way.
After these two additional attempts at cooperation with Siqingjiu, they felt more relaxed.
The director is generous and the investors delegate power, so they can fully demonstrate their abilities and values, which is great.
But the producer’s status in the crew is still different.
Therefore, everyone should think deeply when seeing Producer Qin being so humble in treating a young man.
After all, it’s not ordinary directors who can make producers bend over backwards, only those who are sent in by producers or big producers.
But everyone knows that Director Pang’s crew basically does not accept unspoken rules.
So, who is he?
Cheng Zicheng and the others didn't even think about it. They just felt a surge of anger rushing to their heads and their eyes were filled with resentment.
Wang Tian directly expressed his dissatisfaction: "Producer Qin, what do you mean, do you want to go against our Tianxing Entertainment?"
"Ah?" Producer Qin was confused by the question. He just said a few words to Mr. Si, so how did it become like he was going against Tianxing Entertainment?
"Our brother Cheng wants you to kick this person out immediately and not allow him to audition." Wang Tian pointed at Si Qingjiu and repeated angrily.
Producer Qin finally remembered what Cheng Zicheng had said to stop him, and immediately said coldly: "Sorry, I can't do this. If Mr. Cheng doesn't want to audition, you can leave directly. I will contact your company."
What a joke, one is Tianxing Entertainment and the other is a sponsor, and he doesn’t know how to choose?
In the entertainment industry, stars can be the kings, but if they are put outside, they may not be good enough.
Without mentioning Mr. Si's specific identity, the fact that he has a Mr. Gu by his side and that Mr. Gu protects and respects him so much shows how extraordinary his identity is.
Tianxing has no chance of winning against them.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Zicheng frowned and stared at Producer Qin.
"What he meant is that you can get out." Gu Ruian explained to him very kindly and gave him a big smile.
Humph, you deserve it for trying to bully his senior.
"What a joke! Who dares to ask our brother Cheng to get out?" Wang Tian was the first to get angry, his voice was sharp: "Producer Qin, you must kick these two people out now, otherwise, we at Tianxing will not let this go."
Cheng Zicheng didn't say anything, but his meaning was the same.
He must be given an explanation.
Producer Qin remained unmoved and did not retreat at all: "Even if President Duan was here today, what you think will never happen."
"Okay, Qin Hai, you are really brave. Aren't you afraid of your drama?
We can’t continue filming.” Cheng Zicheng was so angry that if he hadn’t had some sense in his head and it was Director Pang’s drama, he would have left long ago.
"Then you don't have to worry about it." Si Qingjiu had just finished replying to the message from Minister Wan and raised her eyes slightly, "As long as I don't withdraw my investment, you can shoot this drama however you want."
"Thank you Mr. Si for your support. Don't worry, we will never be perfunctory and every penny will be spent wisely." Producer Qin immediately smiled, like a grinning Tibetan fox.
The whole place fell silent.
The people who had quietly gathered around also gasped.
When Si Qingjiu said that the funds would not be withdrawn and he could shoot as he pleased, they were shocked and three words popped up in their minds.
Just can't believe it.
Immediately afterwards, Producer Qin personally hammered them.
It's true.
No wonder, no wonder Producer Qin was so respectful to him, and even stood on his side when he had a feud with Tianxing Entertainment.
This is the investor.
They had heard rumors that there was only one investor this time, who would invest the full amount, with an initial amount of 200 million yuan, not including the copyright fees for the work.
It is a veritable S-level production.
Si Qingjiu nodded: "I still believe in you. I was very satisfied with the effect of the last drama. I also hope that the quality of this drama will not be low."
"Don't worry, we guarantee the quality and reputation. With your strong financial support, we have invited many intangible cultural heritage inheritors. The whole play uses appropriate intangible cultural heritage to create and try to restore all the details of the original work 100%."
Producer Qin really put a lot of effort into this, and read the novel over and over again.
In order to better present the excitement, they discussed and decided to make it what it should be, with the ambition to create the best ancient costume, political and intrigue palace drama of the year.
After it was finalized, they spent 30 million on costumes and props alone.
This is just the main creative team.
Then for the set, they were ready to spend 100 million.
Unexpectedly, I came across a municipal project to be promoted. It was a restoration of a large ancient city, built entirely with mortise and tenon techniques. It was magnificent, elegant and simple, with a completely original historical style.
After hearing the news, they rushed over to seek cooperation.
It wasn't agreed at the beginning. The person in charge, Mr. Feng, was a little hesitant, worried that the crew would destroy some of the scenes and something unexpected would happen when the city opened.
They promised not to move around and would ask for help if necessary.
Even when professionals do it, the other party is still hesitant.
Just when he thought it would be a waste of time, his daughter happened to come back. The other party was a fan of "You Are the King". When she heard from them that they were from this crew, she immediately convinced her father.
They spent 20 million on renting the venue and successfully won it.
At present, the crew is only missing the decorations.
Si Qingjiu was satisfied with their aesthetic taste. He had seen the finished film of "Mountains and Rivers" before. The costumes and props were indeed carefully designed, the actors' acting skills were also online, and coupled with the compact plot, the production was very excellent.
"Have you selected the ornaments for the play?" Si Qingjiu suddenly remembered that there were many descriptions of scenes in the novel, and some items were described in detail.
Producer Qin was stumped by the question and was a little embarrassed: "At the beginning, we also wanted to use real antiques, but real antiques are hard to find. Museums only lend certain ones, which is very troublesome. We need a lot, so we haven't decided yet."
But there is still plenty of time for them to prepare.
"Is that so?" Si Qingjiu thought for a moment, "I'll have someone send over a batch of antiques later, and you can choose yourselves."
He had quite a few antique artifacts in his hands, all of which were collected when he went to the ancient world before. He handed some over, and still had some in his hands.
It’s more than enough for the crew.
But he didn't know how much shock these words caused to Producer Qin and the people present.
Producer Qin could hardly speak clearly, his voice trembling: "Ancient, ancient, antique?"
"Yeah." Si Qingjiu nodded.
Producer Qin swallowed hard, "Really? A real antique one?"
"Um."
!!!
The air seemed to be quiet.
Producer Qin paused for a moment and spoke again, "Send, a batch, how many, how many?"
"Hmm..." Si Qingjiu estimated, "Probably a few hundred pieces. You can pick the ones you like first. If they are not good or there is no suitable one, I will go to see Dean Hai and negotiate with him."
The phone touched his chin and he muttered to himself, "I can send these to the museum and borrow the appropriate ones from him. It shouldn't be a problem. I'll ask later."
Producer Qin: “…”
Gu Ruian: “…”
Luo Hua: “…”
This is a problem everywhere. How can it not be a problem?
He had antiques, hundreds of them, and from what he said, they were all his own.
That's not all. He's also preparing
Just donate it casually.
This, this...
Every family that has an antique will either keep it hidden away or auction it off.
Antique, that is an antique.
Not only did he use it directly for filming, he also didn't care about its value at all.
How arrogant and inhumane this is.
The others were even more shocked. They no longer cared about their image and were stunned.
It was the first time they heard such outrageous words and they wanted to question them, but they didn’t know what to question. Reason told them that this might be true, but emotions told them, how could this be possible?
It is unheard of to have hundreds of antiques in a house.
At this moment, they all had only one thought: where did this person come from?
Cheng Zicheng and Wang Tian were not much better, especially Cheng Zicheng. It wasn't like he really knew nothing, otherwise how could he have become famous after being a supporting actor for so many years.
When the two of them talked about funding, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He also knew that there was only one investor in this drama. At the beginning, Mr. Duan told him in bed that if Director Pang was not short of funds, he would not need to audition. He would directly invest and let him go through the motions.
Cheng Zicheng has acting skills, otherwise he wouldn’t have become famous so quickly.
That's why Mr. Duan dared to say that. As long as he goes for the audition, there will basically be no problem. If he has more funding, it will be even more stable.
Cheng Zicheng was dissatisfied with the investor for this. He had so much money to burn that he invested in the entire crew by himself. That was not a small amount of money.
But now, this person turned out to be the one he had just offended.
Cheng Zicheng's heart sank and his face looked very ugly.
Wang Tian's mind was not as quick as his. Seeing that the man was walking away while talking, he was about to open his mouth to shout, but Cheng Zicheng grabbed him and said with a sinister look on his face: "Shut up."
He secretly hated those people for not noticing him, but the most urgent thing was to find Mr. Duan.
He quickly went out, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
He knew that there was no chance of getting this audition, but he had to let Mr. Duan resolve the matter and not let Director Pang have any complaints about him.
Director Pang has a very high status in the industry. If he says that he will not be used, no well-known directors will give him priority in the future.
It's very bad for him.
No one in the banquet hall who was waiting for the audition had the mind to pay attention to Cheng Zicheng's behavior. They were still digesting the news they had received.
"I wasn't dreaming just now
? "
Someone whispered, breaking the overly quiet environment.
"No, I saw that, too."
“I heard it myself.”
"Oh my god, who is he?"
"His name is Si Qingjiu, do you have any impression of him?"
"Ah, I remember now. I mean, why do I feel that he looks familiar? He once represented the national team in a competition with foreign magicians. The one flying on the golden dragon, isn't that him? His name is also Si Qingjiu."
"Yes, yes. Although he couldn't see the video clearly and the focus was on the dragon, it's the same name."
"Speaking of this name, I also remembered one. The entire Linhe Law Firm sued Jiang Hao and a group of netizens. Their client was also called Si Qingjiu."
"Yes, it seemed to be caused by antiques. I remember it was a big fuss. They said it was a fake antique that brought shame to foreign countries. But then the situation turned around. The donor came out and criticized those people one by one. The donor seemed to be called Si Qingjiu."
"Wow"
The more they talked, the more frightened they became.
This person is really not an ordinary person.
At the beginning, many people on the Internet tried to dig up the other party's identity. After all, he could not be an ordinary person to donate so many antiques in one go.
But no one gave any results.
Some people say that he is an orphan and does not come from a big family at all.
But it has not been confirmed.
Now they want to know more and more who the other party is.
And that Mr. Gu, is that the Gu family they are thinking of?
If it were the Gu family, the only ones who could play with a young master from a family like that were people of the same level.
Is there anyone with the surname Si?
Si Qingjiu didn't know that he had once again sparked heated discussions because of his identity. When producer Qin asked him what he would do next, he replied happily, "Continue to be a good person and do good things."
Producer Qin was stunned. What good people and good deeds are these?
Gu Ruian leaned over curiously and said, "Senior, what good deeds are you going to do? I want to come too."
"If possible, can I be included?" Luo Hua also spoke. He wanted to get in touch with the other party and was also somewhat interested.
Producer Qin also reacted and quickly followed up: "Count me in, too."
"Sure." Si Qingjiu nodded.
"So what are you going to do, senior?" Gu Ruian asked.
Si Qingjiu curled his lips: "Acquire Tianxing Entertainment.
”
Gu Ruian: “…”
Luo Hua: “…”
Producer Qin: “…”
Is this considered a good deed?
Gu Ruian's expression was tangled: "Senior, why is this considered a good deed?"
Si Qingjiu did not hide it, "I read their fortune and their boss is going to go to jail and will soon face bankruptcy. I bought the company and saved it, including the artists inside. Isn't that a good deed?"
Gu Ruian: “…It seems so.”
Producer Qin and Luo Hua also nodded subconsciously, as if there was nothing wrong with it.
etc.
"Mr. Si, you said that Tianxing Entertainment is going to go bankrupt? Duan Hong is going to go to jail?" Producer Qin was dumbfounded. When did this happen? How come he didn't hear any news?
Si Qingjiu nodded: "Hmm~"
He had indeed just calculated the name of Tianxing Entertainment, which was not in line with their boss, and the message sent to him by Minister Wan also confirmed it.
Minister Wan said that the tax bureau has been keeping a close eye on the entertainment industry’s tax affairs for the past year.
Tianxing has also been their target for a long time, but no evidence has been found yet. It just so happens that with the direction provided by Si Qingjiu, they will start with this artist. The tax bureau has already taken action and there should be news soon.
"Since you are so interested, you can pay attention to it in the next few days. If nothing unexpected happens, the stock market will be turbulent soon. Remember to pick up bargains then."
Several people looked at each other and had ideas.
I turned my attention to Tianxing Entertainment and bought it as soon as I found it.
With Mr. Si around, they felt that they could make a profit without any loss.
After entering the room, Si Qingjiu greeted Director Pang and the others, sat down in the seat prepared for him next to Director Pang, and selected the cast with them.
Luo Hua and Si Qingjiu were chatting together when he walked in. After they realized what was happening, they apologized and left.
It was not their turn in the queue, so they didn't try to cut in line.
Luo Hua has had a good reputation over the years because he has taken care of all aspects and never made exceptions. He would only negotiate with all parties when there was an emergency and no other options were available.
I don’t know if it’s because Si Qingjiu’s identity was exposed outside, but everyone who came in for the audition was very serious and performed very well. Even as an outsider, he felt satisfied watching them.
Director Pang and others were also very happy. They kept nodding and writing and drawing in their notebooks.
Si Qingjiu glanced at it for a few seconds, thinking about learning something, when his cell phone lit up and it showed Dean Qi.
Si Qingjiu told the director that he was going to answer the phone. After the other party nodded, he walked out of the room as little as possible without disturbing others. As soon as he reached the corridor, he saw someone with his back to him not far away.
"Dean Qi."
Qi Yan turned around when he heard the voice and saw Si Qingjiu, and hurriedly greeted him: "Xiaojiu, come quickly, I will take you to meet Director Yang."
Qi Yan had put in a lot of effort to get in touch with Director Yang this time, so he naturally couldn't waste this connection.
"Director Yang?" Si Qingjiu raised his eyebrows.
Qi Yan pulled him and introduced him to Director Yang who was wearing glasses in front of him: "Director Yang, this is what I told you about, the best student in our academy. He is excellent in every subject and his acting skills are top-notch in every aspect."
Qi Yan was smiling and didn't notice the strange look on Director Yang's face when he saw Si Qing drunk.
"Come on, Xiaojiu, call someone. From now on, I'll trouble Director Yang to take good care of you."
Director Yang: !!!
