The little lover, who thought she had climbed a towering tree, didn't say anything to Mr. Zhao.
So when Mr. Zhao turned his attention to Tao Yuche, he didn't do as Zhang Erlue and Mo Kuan intended. Instead, he sat down, raised his chin, and said to Tao Yuche, "I want your role. As for the contract you signed, I think it should be invalidated. You can choose the penalty or another script."
As soon as Mr. Zhao finished speaking, Zhang Erlue and Mo Kuan hurriedly looked at Tao Yuche standing beside them, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
However, Tao Yuche was not angry at Mr. Zhao's condescending attitude. After all, there were many cases of people snatching roles in the entertainment industry, and Mr. Zhao could be considered "civilized".
Tao Yuche didn't want to make an enemy for nothing, so he said, "Mr. Zhao, I really like this role, and I've already signed the contract. But since the gentleman next to you also likes this role, how about we both take a step back and let this gentleman audition on the spot?"
It was said that both sides would take a step back, but everyone at the scene knew that Tao Yuche was giving the other party a way out.
After all, Mr. Zhao’s mistress is well-known and very popular.
Mr. Zhao has invested a lot in his mistresses over the years, and he has been given a lot of roles. However, the more he stars in films, the more he attracts criticism. Not only is his acting skills criticized, but he is also often exposed for being arrogant and acting like a big shot.
Obviously, the little lover had a clear understanding of his own acting skills, so as soon as Tao Yuche finished speaking, before Mr. Zhao could say anything, the little lover mocked him and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you take a step back with us?"
"The conditions that Brother Zhao just offered were already made for Director Zhang's sake. Don't push your luck."
Tao Yuche ignored his lover and kept looking at Mr. Zhao.
Seeing that she was completely ignored, the little lover glared at Tao Yuche angrily, then pulled Mr. Zhao's sleeve and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Zhao~"
The shout of "Brother Zhao" made the hairs of those present stand on end and they got goose bumps. Of course, they were not mesmerized, but simply disgusted.
Mr. Zhao was also a little annoyed by Tao Yuche's calm eyes, so he said in a deep voice: "You may not know who I am yet. I advise you not to refuse a toast and drink a penalty."
Seeing that his sponsor was angry, his lover glared at Tao Yuche and said proudly: "That's right, my brother Zhao is..."
However, before he could finish his words, Tao Yuche interrupted him: "Not only do I know who you are, I also know that your father is the largest investor in this movie. How about this, you ask your father to withdraw his investment, and I will invest."
"What did you say?" Mr. Zhao looked at Tao Yuche in disbelief, fearing that he had heard it wrong.
"I said there's no need for an audition. I've already signed the contract for this role. If I'm not satisfied, you can withdraw your investment and I'll invest."
Mr. Zhao laughed in anger. "You're quite arrogant, kid. Do you know how much money our family invested?"
Tao Yuche's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly, "I'm not as arrogant as you, so I don't know, but I can definitely afford it."
Phew!
The people around who heard it couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mr. Zhao looked around and saw that there were many people watching the fun. He felt that he had been insulted, so he said to Tao Yuche fiercely: "If you don't take the opportunity I gave you, I will wait for you to beg me to give up the role."
Tao Yuche remained calm and nodded slowly, looking impatient as he said, "Yeah, I'll wait and see."
"grass!"
"Bang!"
Boss Zhao, who was so angry at Tao Yuche and Tao, kicked the chair he had just been sitting on and broke it into pieces. Then he said to Zhang Erlue, "I said you can't use him, otherwise I will withdraw my investment."
Zhang Erlue said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, aren't you putting me in a difficult position? The penalty for breach of contract in the contract we signed with him is very high. Why don't you convince your father to make additional investments first? Otherwise, I'm not like you. With such a small family and business, I really can't afford to suffer any more."
"you......"
Facing Zhang Erlue's polite smiling old face, Mr. Zhao didn't say anything. He just left a sentence "Let's wait and see" and then took his reluctant lover and fled.
Looking at the angry Mr. Zhao, Tao Yuche was confused. He didn't say anything, so why was he so angry?
So Tao Yuche looked at Mo Kuan with an innocent face, "Teacher Mo, I am very polite, just speaking the truth. Who knew he was so petty."
Everyone who listened silently to the whole process:
Zhang Erlue said with a smile, "Xiao Tao, if Mr. Zhao goes back and tells this, given how much he loves his son, he might actually withdraw his investment. What do you think then?"
Tao Yuche has read this script. Coupled with his and Actor Li's popularity, it will definitely be a box office hit. Anyone who doesn't make money is a fool.
So Tao Yuche said, "Don't worry, Director Zhang, what I just said is the truth, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to invest in your movie and wait for you to help me make a lot of money."
Zhang Erlue laughed heartily at Tao Yuche's words: "Hey, our Master Tao, do you still need this little pocket money?"
Then he said seriously, "But you have to be careful. Mr. Zhao is a bit of a scoundrel and doesn't care about food. He just held a grudge against you. And with someone who's not in his right mind trying to influence him, who knows what he might do."
Tao Yuche nodded.
Zhang Erlue's guess was correct. Mr. Zhao had just gotten into the car with his lover when his lover couldn't wait to act as a "military advisor" to her financial sponsor.
Regardless of the occasion, the lover teased Mr. Zhao while saying, "Brother Zhao, I like this role!"
Mr. Zhao didn't say anything. Even though he said he would withdraw his investment when he was on the crew, he was not stupid. This movie was the final collaboration between Zhang Erlue and Mo Kuan. Even if the script was not good, they would not have to worry about the box office just based on the sentimentality. Besides, how could the final work of the two be mediocre?
He is a bit of a nobody but he is not so bad as to give up a profitable business for a little lover. He just mentioned withdrawing his investment in the crew because he was irritated by Tao Yuche and because he wanted to put pressure on the crew.
Now that Mr. Zhao had calmed down, he had a lot more thoughts. Looking at his lover with a twinkling look in his eyes, Mr. Zhao pinched his chin and said, "This Tao Yuche actually dared to challenge me openly. He must be no simple man."
Seeing Mr. Zhao suddenly serious, the young lover was a little hesitant to tell the truth, so she just said, "It's said that he's got a big thigh, but can any thigh be as big as yours?"
As he said this, he glanced suggestively at a certain position of Mr. Zhao, and then started to move.
Mr. Zhao finally cleared his mind a little, but was confused again and couldn't tell east from west. He stroked his lover's back and said, "Hahaha, that's definitely not as big as mine."
The little lover breathed a sigh of relief and said while exercising: "Brother Zhao, I have an idea. I can make Tao Yuche withdraw from the crew himself."
