Chapter 30:
Everyone finally realized what was happening and switched back to the group of six. Shao Yong, the one who lit the fire, was the first to speak: "Since Ah Cheng invested in this play, doesn't that mean he is an investor? Isn't an investor the money sponsor for you?"
Yu Anyi didn’t believe it: So simple?
"What else?" Shao Yong said perfunctorily, "Ah Cheng is the investor of this play, and Ji is an actor in this play. Isn't he Ji's financial sponsor? He can also use the name of supervising the filming expenses to spend more time with Ji. It's perfect."
Yao Xiuyuan immediately called him all in: 666, this operation is feasible, Acheng, please consider it.
Others also jumped out to confuse the audience. Although Yu Anyi felt that something was wrong, she didn't think much about it. She just reminded Chu Cheng, "Didn't you stand up for Ji Qingzhou once in the crew? The producer and the production manager will definitely not let you go. You can still think about whether to invest before they find you."
Chu Cheng looked at them talking back and forth, and felt that there was no need to consider this matter. Ji Qingzhou was not the protagonist, but a supporting actor. Even if he invested, the show would continue to be filmed, and there would be only two results. One, the show would not make much splash after it was broadcast, and it would be the greatest luck if it did not lose money. Two, the show would become popular after it was broadcast, and he did make money, but when a TV series becomes popular, the first to become popular are the male and female protagonists. Ji Qingzhou, the third male who has few roles, can only attract a limited number of fans, and in the end, Chen Jiyuan will still benefit the most. Chu Cheng felt that he did not have the leisure to use his own money to benefit Chen Jiyuan, so there was nothing to consider. No matter which result it was, it was not what he wanted.
Chu Cheng was not worried about Ji Qingzhou. After all, he had plenty of resources. If the filming of this drama was really stopped, it didn't matter. He could just find another one for Ji Qingzhou. He would never let him down. So, forget about the investment in this drama.
Therefore, Chu Cheng answered Li Fei's call and exchanged a few polite words. When Li Fei asked, "Mr. Chu, the crew has had some problems with funding recently. You see, Ji is still filming on the crew, so it's not appropriate to stop filming. Otherwise, you can invest a little bit. What do you think?", he calmly replied, "I don't have any intention in this regard recently."
"The cost of our drama is not high and does not require too much investment. You can consider it." Li Fei advised.
Because he was out of the country, he didn't receive the call from Chu Cheng. When he called back, Chu Cheng had already found Jiang Nan to solve the problem. He also learned about the relationship between Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou from Jiang Nan. Now that the Wang family is in trouble and the capital chain is broken, the first person Li Fei thinks of is Chu Cheng. He thought that with the relationship between Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou, and the investment was not large, Chu Cheng should agree. Unexpectedly, Chu Cheng directly refused.
"Mr. Li, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just be frank," Chu Cheng said. "This investment is indeed not big, but it's of no use to me. Let's talk business. First, I haven't seen your project. I don't know whether the chance of making money or losing money is greater, so I don't want to spend this money in vain. Second, even if this project can make money and this drama becomes a hit, it's the male and female protagonists who are popular, and it doesn't really have much to do with Ji Qingzhou. At most, he can attract some fans, and the public knows that there is such a person, but he can't be compared with Chen Jiyuan. I don't need to spend money to support someone I don't like, so it won't do me any good if it makes money. Third, even if this project loses money, it will be even less good for me, right?"
Li Fei was speechless after being hit by him. It was indeed true. Ji Qingzhou was only the third male lead. Although his character was well-designed, he didn't have many scenes. Even if the show was a big hit, it wouldn't be him. Li Fei didn't expect Chu Cheng to make it so clear. He was worried, but he didn't want to give up this life-saving straw. He hesitated and said, "Or, I'll ask the screenwriter to change the script and increase Ji's role to make it a double male lead."
Chu Cheng laughed, "There's no need for that, Mr. Li. I understand that you're anxious, but if you do this, you're just inviting criticism from the actors. When the show airs, the book fans won't care about your reasons, they'll just blame the actors for adding to the drama. There's no need for that. You should go find someone else."
After he finished speaking, he said a few polite words and hung up the phone, leaving Li Fei alone looking at his phone and worrying. However, while he was worrying, he received a call from Jiang Nan. Before Li Fei could say anything, Jiang Nan's scolding had already come out, "Chen Jiyuan, that idiot, actually wanted to terminate the contract at this time! He really thinks he is a big shot. Does he think that this crew can't function without him? Well, then let's see who can't leave who. Mr. Li, I have agreed to his termination of the contract. This is the situation. I'll give you a heads up. If you have any objections, you don't have to say anything. After all, he has already signed the contract and is packing up to leave now!"
Li Fei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "It's a good idea to terminate the contract!"
Jiang Nan was a little confused. Before he could ask him what happened, he heard Li Fei's loud laughter from the other end of the phone. "It's true that when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find a way out. I was just wondering what to do here, but his termination of the contract actually pointed me to a clear way out."
