Chapter 92

From the outside, Fu Yongzhi is a very friendly person. He is a bit fat and his face is not good-looking. He can't be a popular flower boy. He has always been positioned as a comedian. Su Ning has also watched his audition and some of his previous performances.

His character in the drama is a good friend of the male protagonist. He has his own highlights. He is hardworking, kind-hearted, and always has hope and loyalty no matter what the circumstances. However, he is not like that in person.

It wasn't obvious during the power-on ceremony, he seemed cheerful and greeted everyone, but after being here for a while, he started to become impatient.

Fu Yongzhi's previous dramas were all filmed in Hong Kong Island, where there is no snowy weather. Even though it was a bit hard in the studio, it wasn't that cold.

I could still bear it a few days ago, but it's obvious that I can't bear it any longer.

When Shen Zhaolan sent him here, he said that he was a good resource and would be one of the leading actors. Fu Yongzhi came, but he felt that the play was not satisfactory in every aspect.

They chose such a remote place to shoot, it's so rustic, and the other main actors are not the most popular now. It's just a web drama, so the possibility of it becoming a hit is not great. If Fu Jing's movie hadn't been stuck and things weren't going well, he wouldn't have come here even if he was there to be a guest actor for a few minutes.

But Mr. Su seemed to take it very seriously and followed him all the time after the filming started. So when Su Ning was on the crew a few days ago, he was more reserved. But Su Ning left in the middle of the filming because he also had to deal with the locals during the filming.

Then he stopped hiding.

When Fu Yongzhi was acting, if he complained or said something impolite, Wen Zijing and Ji Xue would not take it seriously. As long as the camera was turned on, he would just cooperate. There are always people like this in the circle, and many people are used to it.

But seeing that no one in the group could do anything to him, this guy became more and more courageous.

At night, the male actors all lived in the same courtyard, and a room had been found for him separately.

This is just a small village, and with so many people in the crew, there are only a limited number of houses. The lead actor Wen Zijing lives with other male actors, with just a simple partition in the middle.

It was already very late when I heard a quarrel next to me. It was Fu Yongzhi scolding his assistant.

It sounded like he felt the conditions were too bad, so he even threw away the thermos and hot water bottle prepared in the farmyard, and cursed what the hell they were. After a while, the crew came and gave him some advice.

The director Ma of this drama is a good-tempered man. He deliberately gave him some of the heating equipment he brought with him, which calmed the situation down a bit.

Wen Zijing could hear the sound clearly even without opening the doors and windows. His roommate was also a veteran actor from Hong Kong Island. He felt a little embarrassed and said to Wen Zijing, "Please bear with me. He is like this in the company. He has a bad temper."

"Nothing." Wen Zijing smiled, "Go to bed early, there's still show tomorrow."

This matter was barely over tonight, but there was a scene the next morning at daybreak, which had to start shooting at 6:30 a.m. at the latest. The actors had to put on makeup and make preparations before 5 a.m., as time waited for no one.

Wen Zijing and Jixue got up early, and even the screenwriter Yan Lu arrived on time, but the entire crew waited until seven o'clock. The director had already sent people to urge him several times, but it was not until after eight o'clock that Fu Yongzhi arrived on the set, and he did not change his costume or put on makeup, and he came yawning.

There was no way we could shoot this scene because the weather wasn't right. We had to hurry and shoot other scenes.

Fu Yongzhi usually has a bad temper, and the other crew members tolerate it, but now that it has affected the filming, it is a little unbearable.

Fortunately, Su Ning came back that afternoon.

The director told him the problem directly, and Su Ning did not try to fool around, but talked to Fu Yongzhi right away.

After all, he was an investor, and Fu Yongzhi knew the relationship between Su Ning and the Shen family, so he listened to Su Ning. He was well behaved that night, and got up early the next day to shoot the scene, which went smoothly.

As a result, Su Ning returned to Haicheng for company matters not long after. Seeing that the person who spoke was gone, he returned to his old ways.

The entire director team was helpless and could only call Su Ning. Su Ning was also stunned after hearing this. He rarely saw such a shameless person. He had clearly agreed before, but he really had something to do in the company and could not go there for a while, so he sent a vice president of the company to go there.

Guangying Entertainment now has many capable people, and this vice president is also a capable person, but everyone in the company knows the situation in Hong Kong Island and has not dealt with Fu Yongzhi, so they just bluffed him at the beginning.

After those two days, this person went even further.

First, he didn't show up on time for filming, and later he asked to live in the city, and refused to live in a farmhouse. The vice president, considering the Shen family's face and not wanting to make things difficult for Su Ning, tried his best to meet some of his requests.

The room in the courtyard where Fu Yongzhi lived was almost renovated, but some of his requests were too excessive and Guangying Entertainment could not agree to them.

As an actor, Jixue couldn't interfere with the crew management, but seeing that it was increasingly affecting the filming, she couldn't stand it even though she didn't want to disturb Su Ning any more.

Especially this incident also affected Yan Lu.

As a screenwriter, it was not easy for her to follow the crew all the time, and she was such a young girl, and the crew respected her very much. As the third protagonist, Fu Yongzhi did not have that many roles.

To be precise, this play is an ensemble play in which the three of them are just the ones who connect the story. What is important is the process of acting with some experienced old actors. It is not the kind of drama with a big protagonist as in the past.

But Fu Yongzhi wanted to add more drama.

Previously, he deliberately blocked other people's shots and added lines for himself during the acting process. It seemed that he felt that his character was not eye-catching enough, so he called Yan Lu over while waiting for his turn.

Yan Lu likes to squat in the corner with a small stool here. She is holding the script and is still dazed. When she hears someone calling her, she thinks he has questions about the script, so she walks over.

Fu Yongzhi said to her, "You are the screenwriter, right? So, add a fight scene for me here. I am quite good at fighting scenes."

Yan Lu went over to take a look. The script was about them visiting the Willow Goddess Temple at night. The horror here was based on the atmosphere, relying on the scenes and settings. There were no so-called fighting scenes. If he forced the scene in, it would be wrong. Of course, she disagreed.

"No, no." She said sternly, "You can't just add drama."

Her stutter is less severe now and she speaks much more fluently.

But Fu Yongzhi didn't listen to her. He snorted and said, "If you don't add me, I'll find someone else to add me. I know a lot of scriptwriters."

It was just a matter of his words.

Yan Lu got a little angry when he said that.

"This is my play," she said. "You can't change it at will. I definitely won't agree to it."

Many screenwriters in the industry don't have much weight when they speak. Fu Yongzhi was too lazy to tell her that he looked down on this little stutterer. But Yan Lu was still a little stubborn and blocked him. Fu Yongzhi wanted to leave, and the country road was relatively narrow, so he reached out and pushed Yan Lu.

The little girl staggered and sat on the snow. She was obviously stunned for a moment, and her eyes were a little dazed, but someone quickly came forward and helped her up.

"What are you doing!" Jixue patted the snow off Yan Lu's body and glared at him, "How dare you push someone here!?"

Fu Yongzhi felt guilty for a moment, then said confidently, "She blocked my way. Blame her, not me. Go away. I have to go to film."

Yan Lu stood up, feeling a little aggrieved. She held Ji Xue's hand, leaned into her arms, watched Fu Yongzhi leave, and then whispered, "I don't want him to play my role anymore."

She saw everything that happened during this period, and she wrote this character with great care, as a brave and kind person. Even though the actor and the character are not exactly the same, such a person should not appear in this crew.

But Fu Yongzhi has a strong backstage. Even if we don't consider the cooperation with the Shen family, people in the entertainment industry generally know his background. People have talked to him about it over and over again before, and he has always backed off a little, and then it has become more and more excessive.

This was in the village, and there were no reporters or onlookers. There were only some elderly people in the village who didn't like to go out in the winter, so it was useless for the vice president sent by Su Ning to come.

Yan Lu disagreed with adding that scene, and the director knew how to add scenes casually. He didn't act well in the scene of visiting the temple at night. This was a major scene, and the director couldn't just fool around with it. He had to shoot it over and over again, but it was only a little after nine and before ten, and he was yelling that he wanted to go back and rest.

At this point, even the good-tempered director couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "Why are you going back? We haven't even filmed half of tonight's scenes yet. You keep delaying the progress of the group. Everyone is waiting with you, and you..."

"What's wrong with me?!"

Fu Yongzhi also had a temper: "You lousy crew, do you think I want to stay here? I've already given you a lot of face! Go back now!"

He signaled his assistant to pack his things, and started to leave without caring about others trying to stop him. As soon as he walked out of the small door of the temple, he saw Su Ning standing there.

Fu Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and called out, "Boss Su."

He had heard that this person had a gentle temper, and Shen Zhaolan had made the same comment when he returned from the capital. He had been very considerate of him before, but when he saw Mr. Su's expression, he was unable to move and stood there awkwardly.

Su Ning didn't look at him. He had been here for some time and had been watching at the door for some time. Now he walked past him and entered the temple, saying to the director, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Director Ma."

Director Ma, who usually had a good temper, was so angry that he couldn't speak. When he saw him coming, he just waved his hands.

"I know everything," Su Ning said, "I also want to apologize to everyone. This is my fault. I didn't provide a good creative environment for everyone. I'm really sorry that such cold weather delayed everyone's filming."

He really has a good temper as people say. As the largest investor and boss, no one would apologize to ordinary employees like him. Besides, it's not his fault.

Fu Yongzhi also knew that he had been bumped into, and was thinking about how to get away with it this time. Then he saw the good-tempered Mr. Su turn around and look at him.

"And you," he said, "get off my set right now."

"You don't have to play this role anymore."
