Wen Xi was in charge of the art, styling and title sequence of the drama. Fortunately, these tasks had already begun last year, so there was no need to rush.
Shortly after school started, the crew's preliminary work was ready and they picked an auspicious day to officially start filming.
Wen Xi is usually busy with her studies, but she usually goes to the crew on weekends to keep in touch with the staff responsible for costumes and props so that she can make adjustments to the content she is responsible for.
In this way, I ran back and forth between the school crew and the time passed quickly. Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
It was another Saturday, and Wen Xi was asked by the young lady in charge of props in the crew to repair the screen.
The painting on the screen was painted by her herself. During the filming, the staff accidentally stained a spot on it and no one could fix it, so they had to ask her to help.
Wen Xi was carrying several large bags of snacks and noticed that the atmosphere was a bit weird as soon as she arrived on the set.
She grabbed Chu Tang, who was spinning in circles, and handed her the fruit tea. "What's wrong?"
Chu Tang likes to spin around when she's anxious, and she's gotten used to it after spending these years together.
"Lai Zhizhi suddenly raised the price and asked for an exorbitant price." Chu Tang said with a bitter face.
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow.
Lai Zhizhi is the female lead, a young best actress, and Rainbow House spent a lot of effort to invite her.
"Wasn't the contract signed long ago? Isn't a last-minute price increase a breach of contract?"
"They're so smart!" Chu Tang said angrily, "They didn't directly ask for a pay raise. They just said they were injured and asked me to either wait three to five months to recover before filming again, or to shoot with the injury and receive a subsidy. The price they offered is even higher than the pay! Isn't this a disguised way of extorting money?"
"What do they say at the Rainbow Room?"
Chu Tang sighed slowly, "Boss Yi is also very annoyed. This is the first time he's encountered something like this. He's currently negotiating with his agent. I didn't think it was good when he acted like a big shot right after joining the crew, but I didn't expect something so awful would happen."
As the two were talking, Yi Yu came out of Lai Zhizhi's dressing room.
Chu Tang hurried over and asked, "How's it going, Mr. Yi?"
Yi Yu frowned and shook his head: "If you don't agree, either increase the price or postpone the shooting."
"It's just a sprained ankle. I've already asked the team doctor to check it out. Is it really necessary to rest for three to five months?" Chu Tang was very angry.
Yi Yu rubbed his temples, looking like he had a headache.
Judging from the negotiations just now, the other party was indeed deliberately provoking trouble.
The foot injury wasn't serious, but the other party had plenty of ways to make it worse, or use other tactics later...
If the film is postponed, the progress will be delayed a lot; if the money is increased and the salary is sky-high, it’s not that Rainbow House and He’s Productions can’t afford it, but it’s not worth it.
dilemma.
Chu Tang bit her lip and said, "What should we do now?"
Yi Yu stroked his forehead and was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll try to find someone to replace him, but it might still take a while. After all, it's not easy to find a suitable candidate in a short time."
"Okay, let's change people! I'd rather delay for a while than commit a crime!" Chu Tang said gritting her teeth.
Lai Zhizhi's image is indeed suitable for the female lead, and her acting skills are also good, but if she had known that her character was so bad, she would never have agreed to let her play the female lead!
So what if she’s the youngest Best Actress?
So what if you bring your own traffic?
Letting this kind of scum play the role is simply a disgrace to her work, okay?
"We must choose carefully this time. Regardless of other things, character is the most important thing."
"Well, I will be careful. This incident is my fault." Yi Yu said apologetically, "I will go back to the company to screen for suitable candidates."
At this moment, Wen Xi, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "There's no need to go through so much trouble, isn't there a ready-made candidate?"
