Li Fei felt that he was lucky. God was indeed kind to him. Otherwise, why didn't Chen Jiyuan terminate the contract earlier or later, but at this time? This was really too appropriate and too coincidental.
"Nan, let me tell you, you should rearrange it and promote Ji Qingzhou to the male lead. Then, you just wait for my good news." Li Fei hung up the phone.
Jiang Nan looked at the phone that was suddenly hung up, confused. Why was Ji Qingzhou suddenly promoted to the male lead? What happened in the meantime? Was Chen Jiyuan's termination of the contract so worthy of Li Fei's happiness?
Jiang Nan felt very confused.
Chu Cheng was browsing his Moments when his cell phone rang again. He looked at the two big words "Li Fei" on the caller ID and felt that Li Fei was quite persistent and actually called him again.
"Mr. Li, I think I..."
"Boss Chu," Li Fei interrupted him, "something happened in the crew just now. Chen Jiyuan terminated his contract and withdrew from the play. So now, Ji is the male lead of the play. Boss Chu, are you still not going to invest?"
Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment. What did Li Fei say? Ji Qingzhou became the male lead? In less than ten minutes, how did Ji Qingzhou become the male lead? Chu Cheng was speechless. He thought, this is too fantastic.
Time goes back to 20 minutes ago, Chen Jiyuan formally proposed to terminate the contract with Jiang Nan. The reason for the termination is very simple. With this kind of problem in the crew, no one knows when the funds will be in place. If they are not in place, the play will be a failure. Chen Jiyuan wanted to leave the crew because of Chu Cheng's incident. Now the crew has temporarily stopped filming because of Wang Pengyu's accident and the funding chain is broken. Chen Jiyuan seized this opportunity and pushed the fault onto the crew, and proposed to terminate the contract on the grounds that he could not wait.
Jiang Nan tried to persuade him for a long time, appealing to his feelings and reason, but Chen Jiyuan was determined to terminate the contract. Zhang Hui had argued with him several times about this matter, and now he didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he just sat aside. Chen Jiyuan and Jiang Nan each insisted on their own opinions, and in the end, both of them started arguing, and Jiang Nan was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "I can terminate the contract, but pay the penalty. Do you really think that this drama can't be filmed without you? Without you, this drama will be filmed!"
So, Jiang Nan called Li Fei.
Chu Cheng sat at his desk, answering the phone with one hand and tapping the table with a pen in the other. If the protagonist was changed to Ji Qingzhou, then things would be different. It was the same two probabilities. If he failed, he would lose money, but if he succeeded, not only he would make money, but also Ji Qingzhou.
Li Fei tried his best to persuade him on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Chu, you see, we have also done market research for this drama. Campus idol dramas have a certain market in themselves. This drama is also adapted from an IP. Although this IP is not as big as the IP in your hands, as long as it is an IP, there will be fans of the book. The most important thing is his cost and investment. Mr. Chu, this is Ji's first drama. If it really fails, it will not be good for Ji. But if you are willing to invest and he successfully plays the male lead, if this drama becomes popular, just like yours, the first to become popular are the male and female protagonists. Then you will make money and Ji will also be popular. Why not?"
Chu Cheng thought he was quite capable, and he even knew how to use his own words to block himself. He sighed and said, "Send me the details of your project. You have my email address, right? Send it to me and I'll take a look."
Li Fei responded repeatedly, and did not forget to compliment, "I heard from the director that Ji is very capable in his job. Although he is a newcomer, he was in very good condition during filming and did not need too much guidance. Mr. Chu, your brother is quite amazing."
Chu Cheng laughed, "That's right, but what's the use of strong professional ability? A newcomer is a newcomer, a second-tier actor, and he can do whatever he wants."
"They are wrong in this matter. I have already told them off. Mr. Chu, you don't know that it is not easy for us crew members. Celebrities live glamorous lives and have fans watching them online. If they just say something bad about us on Weibo, the fans will collectively blast us. Chen Jiyuan is the biggest star in the crew. It took us some time to sign him, so we have to support him. He wants to target Ji, but we can't refute his face for Ji, right? Otherwise, we have no grudge against Ji, so there is no need to target him."
"You're still feeling wronged when you say that?" Chu Cheng thought it was ridiculous. "Boss Li, I didn't pursue this matter seriously for Sister Jiang's sake. Otherwise, how could your assistant director still be in the crew? If it were me, I wouldn't invest in this play. If I did, the assistant director would leave as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't cause any more trouble with those who flatter the powerful and bully the weak."
Li Fei wanted to play the victim, but he didn't expect that he failed to do so and was criticized by Chu Cheng. He could only laugh dryly and said, "Boss Chu is right. He did not do it right. He should be taught a lesson."
