People on the Internet are saying that Qicheng Pictures was tricked.
Just wait and see the results after the show airs.
If the results are good, then Qicheng Pictures will be completely laughed at.
The assistant muttered to himself and went to contact Director Liu.
But not long after, the assistant came back with a cell phone.
"Boss Yao," the assistant exhaled and said to Boss Yao, "Director Liu has rejected our investment."
"What?" Mr. Yao stood up. "When did Liu Runlin become so tough?"
"Does he think that getting Tan Yue's investment this time is the end? Does he not plan to make movies in the future? Tan Yue invested this time, but what about next time? Who will he ask for investment? Doesn't he have to ask us for help?" Mr. Yao said angrily.
"Director Liu's original words were that Tan Yue has made up for all the investment we withdrew. Even if we invest again, the money will be wasted. There is no place to spend it. The existing funds can already make the crew's costumes, props, etc. to the extreme. Even if there is a place to spend it, the cost will increase and the profit will be less. Then the money distributed to us will be less, which is also a loss for us." said the assistant.
"Besides, we can't let him withdraw Tan Yue's investment." The assistant didn't dare to say Director Liu's exact words.
Director Liu's original words were, Tan Yue helped me in my time of need and invested in me, and now you are going to invest again, so should I return Tan Yue's funds?
I, Liu Runlin, am not such an ungrateful person who would burn bridges after crossing them.
If I were like that, I would have replaced Tan Mo long ago.
But it didn't work. Tan Mo stepped forward to help me so much when I was in the most difficult time. If it weren't for Tan Mo, I wouldn't even have the chance to start filming.
So, I can't trade her for investment.
Now, I can’t withdraw Tan Yue’s investment and then use yours.
You can withdraw if you want to, and invest if you want to. How can it be so good?
The assistant knew Mr. Yao's temper very well and did not dare to say the original words.
The assistant was also quite curious. Director Liu was so impolite. Did he not plan to cooperate with them again in the future?
When Director Liu said this to his assistant, Tan Jinqi was also there.
Director Liu might have said this intentionally for Tan Jinqi to hear.
But even so, it is very useful to listen to the discussion of chess.
"Director Liu, if you say so, then our future cooperation with Qicheng..." Tan Jinqi asked.
Director Liu didn't care. "I know Mr. Yao's assistant a little bit. He's quite tactful. He wouldn't necessarily tell Mr. Yao all the harsh words, but would instead pick out some gentler ones. He always works on the principle of leaving a way out so we can meet again in the future."
"But even if he did, it wouldn't matter. Let's not talk about other industries, just our circle, it's all about profit. When there's profit to be made from you, you have friends all over the world. But once you're in trouble, all your friends will scatter. When you're not famous, you have no friends. When you're famous, all your friends will come. So as long as I can maintain the level of filming and get good results, Mr. Yao will have to invest in me if he wants to make money."
"But if one of my dramas fails, he won't invest in me again, no matter how good our relationship is." Director Liu saw through it very clearly. "Look, he's angry now that I rejected him. But when my next drama starts making money again, do you think he'll come? In this industry, everything is empty except for profit."
"Of course, I still have friends. Director Hou, for example, is one of the few who are willing to do good. If it weren't for your family, he would have really put down his pride and raised investment for me. You are indeed lucky to be his student. But few people can go to such lengths for their students. He introduced you to me when he had no movies to shoot. He even came to see you, saying that he came to see your performance, but in fact he was supporting you."
Tan Jinqi nodded: "I know."

This storm is generally over, but there are still some minor details that need to be tied up by the crew.
This detail is about who leaked the news about the crew.
"This matter is over for netizens, but it is not over for our crew." That night, after work, Director Liu called his assistant and Tan Jinqi into the room for a meeting.
Director Hou left the second day after he arrived. He couldn't stay here for long.
I just came to see Tan Jinqi and support him.
Leave when the goal is achieved.
"We must find out who leaked the information this time!" Director Liu said sternly.
"The leaked information this time is so accurate. If this is leaked this time, what if other things on the crew are leaked later? By then, the costumes, stills, actors' lines, and even the script may be leaked. Then what's the point of broadcasting our show? The audience has seen everything after seeing the leaked photos." Director Liu said in a deep voice.
"This is a large-scale production with a large cast, and the teachers don't always get along. If there were to be some bickering or infighting between them, and it were leaked, it would become negative news," Tan Jinqi added. "No matter what kind of news it is, it would be detrimental to the production."
"Jinqi is right." Director Liu nodded.
Ever since Tan Yue became the largest investor, Director Liu has become more polite and approachable towards Tan Jinqi.
"But how do we check this?" The assistant scratched his head, feeling overwhelmed. "In our crew, not to mention the main actors, there are so many supporting actors that I can't even remember their faces, let alone the extras. There are also many stagehands, prop masters, and so on. There are simply too many people."
Tan Jinqi thought for a moment and said, "But I think it has nothing to do with the marginalized people in the crew."
"What do you mean?" Director Liu's eyebrows moved.
"I don't know if my analysis is correct. Director Liu, please listen to it first." Tan Jinqi said modestly.
After Director Liu nodded, Tan Jinqi said, "Here's what I think. If it were just paparazzi, or someone else who got information about the crew through various channels, it definitely wouldn't be so accurate. Paparazzi only photograph the artists, and information is passed around through various channels. With so many people passing it around, it's bound to get erroneous."
"Furthermore, since the information can only be obtained through rumors, even if the other party can get to the person at the top, that person must be a peripheral figure," Tan Jinqi analyzed. "Then the question arises, can someone on the periphery know so much?"
"Extras and some minor supporting roles don't even know who the screenwriter is. Extras don't have scripts, and the supporting actors only have a few thin pages of notebooks. Moreover, for extras, we only send a message to the various companies two days in advance, asking them to notify people to come."
At the film and television city, there are many extras waiting for work, and there are also many contract companies for extras, just like housekeeping service companies.
