Chapter 85 "But what you're doing is simply plagiarism!"
The contract was signed quickly, the money was transferred, and the person in charge of each project left satisfied.
that is……
"Hey, Assistant Chen actually asked for leave?" Li Jing had just returned to the office when Chen Ming sent a message saying that he was not feeling well and needed to rest.
Assistant Chen is a workaholic. He insisted on going to work even though he had a high fever. Now he is asking for leave because he is not feeling well. This is a big deal.
Li Jing agreed immediately, and at the same time said worriedly that Chen Ming must take good care of his health, treat any problems, and he would reimburse the medical expenses.
At this time, Chen Ming returned home and lay on the bed and saw the message from Li Jing: As long as you spend less, I promise that I can be full of energy.
The Rural Extreme Challenge program has not started yet, and Shen Xingyi has not set off yet. He is still busy filming a TV series in the film and television city, hoping to finish it before the variety show starts.
Song Zhining was bored, so she followed him to the film and television city and asked for a worker's ID. Firstly, she was curious about Shen Xingyi's acting and wanted to watch him up close. Secondly, she also wanted to try her luck and see if she could meet the director of "12 Nights on the Island".
Currently, Song Zhining and Li Jing have jointly invested in 13 of the 15 movies, TV series, variety shows, and talent shows that can create 20 to 50 times the value in the next three years.
There are still 2 left, and I haven’t seen the script handed over.
Song Zhining didn't think of reporting the directors of these two scripts, and let Li Jing's people contact them. She thought it was just a matter of fate.
If fate allows her to meet him, she will invest, if not, forget it.
"12 Nights on the Island" is the only one among those 15 projects that can create 50 times the value.
This is a suspense web drama, directed by a new female director Bai Wei. The shooting cost was only 2 million, but it became an instant hit and directly created the value of a small goal.
Song Zhining watched Shen Xingyi's filming for a while, then strolled around the film and television city. In the afternoon, when Shen Xingyi was taking a break, she had dinner with him.
A day and a half passed like this.
Shen Xingyi has been filming since morning until now and has not had a break. He said he wants to shoot until the end.
Song Zhining could only go to a restaurant outside to eat alone. While eating, she muttered to herself that she would leave with Shen Xingyi to participate in the Rural Extreme Challenge program tomorrow, and she probably wouldn't meet Bai Wei.
Just as I was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from the seat in front.
"Bai Wei, why are you so stubborn? It's just using my name, what's wrong with that? Using my name will attract investors, and your drama can be filmed smoothly. I will also let you be the assistant director, and you will still be in charge of the filming when the time comes." This was a man's low voice with a little anger and persuasion.
Um, Bai Wei?
Is this the Bai Wei she is looking for?
Song Zhining looked up.
I saw two people sitting in the seats in front. The one facing Song Zhining was a man in his thirties or almost forty.
The person with long hair, with her back to Song Zhining, was obviously a woman. However, because she was facing away from her, Song Zhining could not see her appearance or the emotions on her face.
But soon her voice was heard.
"Impossible." The woman said firmly, "I filmed those two previous dramas, but they used your name. But I was the main director. I just want to make a drama of my own."
"I understand you, but you should also know that you're a woman, and so young, only 25. Just look around, who would hire a young, new female director? Forget about attracting investment, you can't even get your script in."
"But you're basically plagiarizing!"
It was clearly Bai Wei who filmed the film and wrote the script, but when it came to the credits, her name wasn't listed as either the director or the screenwriter.
This is really too frustrating.
"What do you mean by plagiarism? Weiwei, that's too serious." The man's face suddenly fell. "We are boyfriend and girlfriend and will get married in the future. What does this have to do with you?"
"I won't get married!"
"What?"
"I said, we won't get married." The woman's voice was firm and resolute.
"You mean, you want to break up with me? Just because of this signature thing?"
"Yes." In the past year or so, Bai Wei has completely seen through Zhuang Dong.
At the beginning, Bai Wei was with Zhuang Dong, who was more than ten years older than her, because she admired him, but now Bai Wei has completely seen through Zhuang Dong. Zhuang Dong has no talent at all. The so-called most talented new director just stole other people's shots and scripts.
Wasn't that how she was stolen by Zhuang Dong? The drama became a hit, and it was Zhuang Dong's reputation that soared, while she was destined to not even have a name.
She also knew that as a young new female director, no one in the industry would be optimistic about her.
But she didn't want to be sucked dry by Zhuang Dong anymore. Of course, her admiration and love for Zhuang Dong in her heart was also shattered.
Zhuang Dong seemed to see Bai Wei's determination, and his face immediately turned black and he said something harsh.
"Okay, let's break up. I want to see what will happen to you if you leave me."
"Don't come to me and beg me in shame."
"I want to see who will invest in you."
Just as Zhuang Dong finished his harsh words, a pleasant and cold female voice suddenly rang out.
"I vote!"
The voice sounded so suddenly that Zhuang Dong and Bai Wei both turned their heads to look towards the voice.
When Zhuang Dong saw Song Zhining, his eyes lit up. She was a beauty, and a hint of lust flashed across his eyes.
But thinking of what Song Zhining had just said and how young Song Zhining was, Zhuang Dong couldn't help but feel contemptuous.
"Little girl, you haven't graduated from college yet. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."
Bai Wei was originally delighted when she heard someone had voted, but when she saw how young Song Zhining was, her heart sank again.
This little sister probably said this because she couldn't bear to see her being bullied by Zhuang Dong.
Investing is probably impossible.
Song Zhining ignored Zhuang Dong and looked at Bai Wei. "You're Bai Wei, I know you. Are you planning to shoot a suspense drama called '12 Nights on an Island' recently? I'm quite optimistic about it, so I'd like to invest. Is 5 million enough?"
As he spoke, Song Zhining took out his purple-gold bank card.
"As long as you agree, we can sign the contract and transfer the money now."
Bai Wei originally thought that Song Zhining was speaking up for her out of kindness, but she didn't expect that she actually knew her name and the title of the drama she was going to film.
Some time ago, Bai Wei did submit the script under her own name, hoping to get investment.
But there was no response.
Just like Zhuang Dong said, no one would look favorably upon a new female director in her twenties.
