With the cast and director confirmed, Bai Qianmo entrusted the production role entirely to Li Song. He was reliable, hardworking, and had extensive connections in the industry, making him the most suitable person to manage the finances.
As for the filming team members, Jiang Hai recommended several good photographers, and the rest were left to Li Song to arrange. Once the director and producer were confirmed, the rest would be easier to manage.
morning
Bai Qianmo and Jiang Hai talked about the script for a whole morning, during which Bai Qianmo gained a new understanding of Jiang Hai's professionalism.
He is a perfectionist who pursues the ultimate in his work. The script that Li Song gave him had many key issues neatly marked with a pen.
Because it involves a lot of professional terminology, Jiang Hai had to do his homework in advance to digest these terms so that he could convey what he knew to the actors during filming. This was crucial and showed Jiang Hai's meticulousness.
Just as the script for "Seven Deadly Sins" was about to be finalized, Li Song rushed back to the company from outside.
"Boss, something terrible has happened."
Five minutes later, a tense atmosphere filled the conference room.
In front of Bai Qianmo was a computer playing a drama called "Seven Deadly Sins" that Fansheng Film and Television had officially announced today. The director was the internationally renowned director Xu Ziqian, the screenwriter was the famous suspense novelist Banshan, and the production company was Fansheng Film and Television.
At the press conference, Banshan gave a general overview of the content of Seven Deadly Sins. His Seven Deadly Sins is almost identical to the script he wrote, and even the names of the characters have not been changed.
"They're plagiarizing! That's illegal!" Li Song's face turned ashen with anger.
The script was written by the boss, who knows it best. He has high expectations for "Seven," and the company, which is currently on the verge of collapse, may be revived because of this show.
Su Peishan looked terrible. She suppressed her anger and analyzed the current situation: "In this industry, it's common for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat shrimp. Because of legal loopholes in copyright, whoever has a big name and registers the copyright first basically gains the upper hand. For a small company like ours to compete with Fansheng Film and Television, we will only end up in a miserable defeat. Besides, they have hired the internationally renowned director Xu Ziqian, and the novelist Banxian has personally admitted that he wrote the script. With all this, how can we compete?"
Chen Xiang angrily said, "They think they can plagiarize other people's work just because they have high status? They're even shameless enough not to change their names. I spit on Banshan. His novels can only fool people who don't know anything about criminal investigation. Any professional in criminal investigation can find a lot of problems in his novels. His book 'Double Mirror Man' was once beaten to the ground by a criminal investigation expert. He hasn't learned any professional knowledge in the past two years, but he has learned to plagiarize."
Bai Qianmo, who had been silently listening to the heated discussion among the group, gave a faint smile, her calm eyes carrying a hint of mockery.
"Perhaps it's not that they don't want to change their name, but that they just don't have enough time."
She had only found Jiang Hai yesterday, and today her script had been taken over by someone else, with the director being Xu Ziqian, Jiang Hai's nemesis. She didn't think it was a coincidence.
It's obvious that someone did this on purpose.
Jiang Hai understood Bai Qianmo's meaning and felt very guilty.
"Xu Ziqian came for me, Qianmo, it's my fault that you've all been hurt." With that, Jiang Hai stood up and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Bai Qianmo said coldly without even glancing at him.
Jiang Hai stopped in his tracks.
Where are you going?
"Find Xu Ziqian. Our personal grudges shouldn't affect innocent people." Jiang Hai clenched his fists, his face grim.
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly and glanced at him coldly.
"Xu Ziqian is personally directing this drama. Do you really think he's doing it because of you? Getting revenge on you is just a side thing. He's clearly taken a liking to this script. A top-tier director, if he didn't want to make this drama, would he ruin his reputation that he's built up over so many years for someone like Jiang Hai?"
The higher the audience's expectations of great directors, the higher their demands on them.
Xu Ziqian was indeed targeting Jiang Hai at every turn, but Jiang Hai was like a grasshopper in autumn, no longer a threat in his eyes. If he hadn't taken a liking to the script, he could have used many methods to stop Jiang Hai from taking the role, instead of risking his reputation to snatch it up himself.
Everyone is a little panicked right now, and everyone understands the significance of this drama to Tengyue.
Only Bai Qianmo's face didn't show much emotion, and it was impossible to know what she was thinking. Jiang Hai looked deeply at the girl in front of him. This composure and calmness was not what a girl in her twenties should have.
Let alone young girls, even those who have lived half their lives would be furious enough to vomit blood if their painstakingly written work were taken over by someone else.
At this moment, everyone else was anxious, but she alone seemed completely unconcerned.
This calm and composed demeanor can easily soothe people's feelings.
"Sit down first," Bai Qianmo said calmly.
Jiang Hai stood there for a few seconds before finally obediently sitting down.
Bai Qianmo's gaze swept over everyone in the conference room.
These are the people she trusts the most: Li Song, Jiang Hai, Chen Xiang, Xia Wei, Rong Yu, and Sister Su. Currently, only these few people know the contents of the script and have the opportunity to spread it.
But her intuition told her that it couldn't have been them.
After a moment of contemplation, Bai Qianmo looked at Li Song and asked, "Director Li, did you show Wang Jing a paper version or an electronic version of the script?"
Li Song frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's a paper version. I personally delivered it to Wang Jing. Boss, you don't mean Wang Jing leaked it, do you?"
