Chapter 79 The brain is not for decoration
After getting rid of Zhu Yang and Zhao Wan, Feng Qing still patiently comforted Director Zhang. After all, the next filming still needed the assistance of this assistant director. After Feng Qing repeatedly assured him that there would be no problem with funding and the crew would film as usual, the assistant director left with a worried look on his face.
Feng Qing is not a fool. Since he rejected Wang Fuyou so decisively, he must have thought of a way out.
He comes from a well-off family, but he has never thought of asking his family for help. This time, he really can't do it, so he can only bow his head and ask his elders to borrow some money. For the sake of his "Nine-Tailed Fox", Feng Qing made up his mind.
Of course, this is his last step. Now he is considering trying to get other investors to make additional investments. In addition to Wang Fuyou, although there are two other investors, the only one Feng Qing can strive for is Qichen Film and Television. As for Xingyao Entertainment, he thinks of Zhu Yang, haha.
So, that night, the manager of the investment department of Qichen Film and Television received a call from Feng Qing. When the other party saw that it was the director of the "Nine-Tailed Fox" crew who was specifically nominated by his boss to invest, he immediately answered the phone. When he heard Feng Qing directly ask them to make additional investments, he readily agreed, without any attitude of a financial sponsor.
Feng Qing was pleasantly surprised that things went so smoothly. After the call ended, he praised Qichen Film and Television for being one of the best film and television companies in China.
"No wonder Venucia Films has grown so big. They are bold in doing things. They can get tens of millions of dollars in investment with just one phone call. I am so lucky." Feng Qing murmured to himself.
Feng Qing's mood tonight was really up and down.
After leaving Feng Qing's room, Zhu Yang was not in the mood to care about Zhao Wan and went straight back to his hotel. Zhao Wan did not sleep well the night before and had obvious dark circles under her eyes the next day.
Sitting in the crew's dressing room, Zhao Wan felt even more uncomfortable watching Qian Muchue act as if nothing had happened.
"Sister Zhang, can you please go out for a while? I have something to talk to Mu Xue about. Ten minutes." Zhao Wan said to the makeup artist with a smile.
Although it was a discussion, Zhao Wan's tone was irresistible. The crew members did not dare to offend her and did not ask Qian Muchue's opinion. Several people left the dressing room, including Qiao Yan.
"Mu Xue, do you know that Feng Qing offended President Wang in order to keep you?" Although Zhao Wan controlled her tone, she could not hide the resentment in her words.
"I don't know." Qian Muchue answered calmly. She could guess what Zhao Wan was going to say next.
"Mr. Wang is withdrawing his investment now. Because of you, the entire crew's work is coming to a standstill. Don't you feel guilty? Don't you want to do something?" Zhao Wan asked bluntly.
Unfortunately, Qian Muchue ignored her words. Zhao Wan took a deep breath.
"Go and tell Feng Qing that you don't want to act anymore, so that Feng Qing won't have to offend President Wang. You can't let the entire crew take the blame for your selfishness." Zhao Wanyi said sternly.
Qian Muchue sneered and looked at Zhao Wan as if she were an idiot.
"Isn't this a stupid thing you did?" Qian Muchue's words were extremely provocative.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wan pretended to be tough. She didn't believe Qian Muchue knew about her involvement.
"Wasn't it your plan to bring Wang Fuyou here? Now you've lost more than you gained. Is it me who harmed the crew, or you? Do you think everyone else is stupid and can't see it? Zhao Wan, your brain isn't for show. You should use it properly occasionally. This is my sincere advice."
Zhao Wan choked on her breath and swore that this was the most sarcastic and harsh words she had ever heard.
Before she could speak again, Qian Muchue had already called the staff in to continue her makeup. Zhao Wan could only hold her breath, her face ashen.
The staff were not fools, so of course they could tell that the atmosphere was not right. They did not dare to say anything and just did their job honestly.
The morning's filming went smoothly. Except for Zhao Wan, Feng Qing was the same as usual and didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
During lunch, Qian Muchue sat next to Feng Qing with her lunch box.
"Director Feng, I heard that President Wang is going to withdraw his investment, is that right?" Qian Muchue knew that Feng Qing was a straightforward person, so she asked directly.
"Don't worry about this, just focus on acting." The investment from Qichen Film and Television arrived in the afternoon, so Feng Qing didn't say anything.
"Director Feng, you misunderstood. Our drama is so good. If Mr. Wang withdraws his investment, I have a friend who wants to invest." Qian Muchue explained.
"I appreciate your kindness. I've already taken care of the money issue. I'm just telling you that Qichen Films has made additional investment."
Feng Qing was very touched and thought that Qian Muchue was trying to get investment for him. He couldn't help but happily tell her about Qichen Film and Television.
Qian Muchue: “…”
Well, Qichen Film and Television acted too quickly, but fortunately they are all our own, so it’s not a disadvantage, Qian Muchue comforted herself.
On the other side, Zhu Yang, Xu Jing and Wang Fuyou were together. Although Zhu Yang and Wang Fuyou were very angry about what happened yesterday, they both thought that Feng Qing would come to apologize today. After all, "Nine-Tailed Fox" had to be released during the Spring Festival, and there was no extra time for him to find new investors.
As a result, they waited from morning to noon, and from noon to evening, but did not receive a call from Feng Qing, not even a call from the assistant director. The two went from being as steady as a rock at the beginning to becoming impatient in the end.
The calmest person was Xu Jing. She felt that her role was a failure yesterday, but she didn't dare to say it out of consideration for Zhu Yang and Wang Fuyou's reputation. Seeing the unhappy faces of the two men opposite her, although her own interests were also damaged, Xu Jing didn't know why she felt a little refreshed. See, not everything can be solved by money.
Zhu Yang asked Zhao Wan about the situation, but the latter was not very clear either. After the crew finished filming, Zhu Yang called Feng Qing. There was nothing he could do. Wang Fuyou was unwilling to contact him actively. He had already lost a lot of face yesterday. He would not invest unless Feng Qing bowed to him.
"Hello, Director Feng, this is Zhu Yang. What are your thoughts? If we hadn't tried to keep him, Mr. Wang would have left long ago."
Zhu Yang had forgotten the unpleasantness of yesterday, and he had to forget it. This project could not be aborted because of him.
"Oh, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wang, just let him go. As for the money invested before, please tell Mr. Wang to arrange for his staff to contact us. The money can be transferred back to him at any time." Feng Qing said this very straightforwardly, and the anger he had suffered yesterday was dissipated at this moment.
Zhu Yang was stunned. He didn't expect the situation to be like this. Wang Fuyou was right next to him, so of course he heard it.
"Director Feng, aren't you going to shoot this movie?" Zhu Yang blurted out.
"That's impossible. Qichen Film and Television has added tens of millions of dollars in investment. Not only do we want to shoot the film, but we also want to shoot it well." Feng Qing hung up the phone after saying this. He felt so relieved.
Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Zhu Yang and Wang Fuyou's faces became even uglier.
On the other side, Qian Muchue was video chatting with Qian Xiaoya normally. After hanging up, Gong Chen was in a bad mood. If the investment manager hadn't reported to him today about the additional investment in "Nine-Tailed Fox", he would have had no idea that she was bullied on the set. She never said anything.
"Yaya, do you want to go to the crew to see your mother?" Gong Chen lowered his head and asked his innocent daughter in his arms.
"Yes." The little girl answered loudly.
"Okay, then Dad promises you." Gong Chen said with satisfaction.
Well, Yaya misses her mother, so it’s time to take her to see her mother. There are very sufficient reasons.
