The last scene of the afternoon was the rivalry between Qian Muchue and Zhao Wan. After the filming was over, Qian Muchue saw Qi Ming coming over.
Because he had something to say to Qian Muchue, Qi Ming did not return to the hotel and waited for Qian Muchue to finish.
"Teacher Qi, do you have something to say to me?" Seeing Qi Ming's serious expression, Qian Muchue asked with a smile.
Seeing Qian Muchue's relaxed look, Qi Ming thought that she was inexperienced and didn't realize Wang Fuyou's purpose in coming to the crew.
"Do you know why Mr. Wang came here today?" Qi Ming asked.
"I know." Qian Muchue answered very straightforwardly, and even Feng Qing, who had a rough expression, vaguely guessed it.
After hearing what Qian Muchue said, Qi Ming was a little stunned. It seemed that the eunuch was anxious even though the emperor was not. There was nothing he could do. He really didn't want Qian Muchue to be replaced. He really couldn't praise the actor who was stuffed in by the investors.
"Since you know what you think, I think Director Feng treats you very well. Can I go and talk to Director Feng together with you?" Qi Ming suggested.
"Thank you, Teacher Qi. I believe in Director Feng."
Qian Muchue didn't expect Qi Ming to be willing to speak for her. She was indeed very grateful, but she also really believed in Feng Qing. A director who wanted to make a good drama would not give in so easily. Step back and say that if Feng Qing really gave in to the investors, it would be useless for her and Qi Ming to go to him together.
"Okay, since you're at ease, I won't meddle in other people's business." Qi Ming was still a little uncomfortable. After all, this was the first time he meddled in other people's business and was rejected.
Zhao Wan, who had just finished filming, saw Qian Muchue and Qi Ming standing together and talking. She felt a little uncomfortable and walked towards them.
"Teacher Qi, Mu Xue, what are you whispering about?" Zhao Wan joked with a smile.
Qi Ming had finished what he wanted to say, and seeing Zhao Wan coming over, he didn't want to stay any longer.
"Nothing to say, you guys chat." Qi Ming said, and took his assistant Xiao Hu back to the hotel.
Zhao Wan stood there with a stiff smile on her face. Qi Ming was too disrespectful to her. He left as soon as she came. What would others think?
"Sorry, I disturbed you and Teacher Qi." Zhao Wan's tone was not very good. She was taking out the anger she had received from Qi Ming on Qian Muchue.
"It's good that you know. Don't do this next time." Qian Muchue's tone was also bad.
When the two were talking, Qiao Yan happened to come over and overheard them. In the past few days, she felt that the relationship between Qian Muchue and Zhao Wan seemed different from what she had imagined. At first, she attributed it to Qian Muchue's cold personality. Later, she found that Qian Muchue always smiled at others. Now, after hearing this, she was more certain that the relationship between the two was not good.
Thinking about how she had been courting Zhao Wan in front of Qian Muchue these past few days, but Qian Muchue didn't say a word, Qiao Yan wondered if she had already disliked her in her heart.
"I'm afraid there won't be a next time." Zhao Wan sneered. Thinking that Qian Muchue was about to be kicked out of the crew, she didn't want to pretend anymore.
Qian Muchue ignored her and went straight back to the dressing room to remove her makeup.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Feng Qing brought the assistant director to Wang Fuyouding's private room.
In addition to Wang Fuyou, Zhu Yanghe and the woman he met in the afternoon were also there, which made Feng Qing feel even more depressed.
"Director Feng, please sit down. Xu Jing will pour you some tea." Zhu Yang acted like a host.
"Director Feng, please have some tea." Xu Jing said obediently, without acting like a spoiled child like she did to Wang Fuyou.
After being in the circle for a long time, she has some ability to judge people. It is obvious that this young director is not the same type of person as Wang Fuyou.
"Thank you." Feng Qing thanked him coldly.
The assistant director was a smart guy. He saw the relationship between Xu Jing and Wang Fuyou at a glance in the afternoon. He reminded Feng Qing before coming. He didn't expect that this young director had such a tough temper. The assistant director was a little worried.
"Mr. Wang, you said you had something to say this afternoon. What is it?" Feng Qing asked Wang Fuyou directly. He had no appetite for food.
"Director Feng is really impatient. Since you asked, I won't keep you in suspense. I think the current cast is still a little weak and can't bring in the box office." Wang Fu said with a smile, without noticing Feng Qing's expression.
"Let's not talk about anything else. The actress who plays the female lead, Qian Muchue, is a newcomer and hasn't studied acting. She's of no use to our show at all. I think we should replace her with someone better."
Wang Fuyou felt that he was the one paying the money and the director had to listen to him, so he spoke without hesitation.
"Mr. Wang, although Qian Muchue is a newcomer, her acting is very good and her image is very suitable for the role of Qingyan." Feng Qing said patiently.
When Feng Qing accepted Wang Fuyou's investment, he was worried about encountering such problems. He had heard before that many investors liked to force people into the crew, and as a result, everything was safe and sound before filming began. Unexpectedly, they had to wait until after filming began.
"Alas, Director Feng is still young and inexperienced. You can teach this acting skill, but if this actor has no popularity, no one will watch it. How can you make money? Look at our Xu Jing. She's beautiful, has acted in many dramas, is a professional, and is quite popular. Director Feng, what do you think?"
Wang Fuyou had already made it clear that Feng Qing should replace Qian Muchue with Xu Jing.
"Mr. Wang, what if I don't agree?" Feng Qing asked, suppressing his temper.
If the other party was not a financial sponsor, Feng Qing really wanted to point at Wang Fuyou's head and ask, how dare you, a coal boss, call yourself a professional? Putting aside other things, just from the appearance, Qian Muchue is a high-end version of Qingyan, and Xu Jing is a low-end one. You asked him to change from a high-end one to a low-end one, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?
"I want Xu Jing to play the female lead. If you disagree, I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to withdraw my investment from this project."
Hearing Feng Qing's disagreement, Wang Fuyou was unhappy and threatened in a tough attitude, saying that a small director dared not to give him face.
"Mr. Wang, don't be angry. Director Feng means that it can be discussed." The assistant director quickly stood up and laughed it off.
He pushed Feng Qing beside him with one hand, hinting him to say a few soft words. The assistant director knew the financial situation of the crew. Once Wang Fuyou withdrew his investment, the project would have to come to a standstill. How could it be released during the Spring Festival?
Feng Qing took a deep breath and made up his mind. Today Wang Fuyou asked him to change the leading actor, and tomorrow he might ask him to change the script. This was not the "Nine-Tailed Fox" he wanted to shoot.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, the actors cannot be changed. As for whether or not to invest in "Nine-Tailed Fox", please think it over carefully. I won't eat this meal." Feng Qing stood up and finished speaking, then left the private room without looking back.
The assistant director standing by was also stunned by Feng Qing's tough attitude and didn't react in time to pull Feng Qing.
"You, what a crappy project! Even if you beg me now, I won't invest in it."
Wang Fuyou initially thought that Feng Qing wanted to apologize to him, but he didn't expect that he would reject him so bluntly. His temper was even worse than his as an investor. He was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, Feng Qing only left him with his back.
It was the first time that Xu Jing met such a tough director. She looked at Zhu Yang and Wang Fuyou, not knowing what to say.
"Mr. Wang, please don't be angry. Director Feng is too young. He'll figure it out after one night. He'll know you're thinking about the movie. Director Feng will definitely come and apologize to you tomorrow."
The assistant director who was left alone endured the embarrassment and helped Feng Qing apologize to Wang Fuyou. He had never seen such a scene before. The investor was the financial backer, so how could he confront the financial backer?
"Yes, Mr. Wang, don't bother with Director Feng. Young people are ignorant. I guess he will regret it tonight." Zhu Yang also advised.
Zhu Yang really didn't have good intentions. Not to mention that Zhao Wan was also one of the heroines of this movie, and Xingyao Entertainment also invested in it. The project suddenly aborted, and the people above knew the reason. He would not have a good ending. He didn't want to lose more than he gained.
