Eighty-one:
"Yes." Sun Fu's agent said firmly.
"Okay," Yang Fan nodded, "Then you go, and let Sun Fu go too. Our temple here can't accommodate a Bodhisattva like you. Let's go."
Sun Fu's agent was shocked, "Producer Yang, think about it carefully. If we don't play the role now, you may not be able to find a suitable person. Besides, this request is not excessive. Sun Fu's popularity is already high, so what's wrong with him asking for a tie now?"
"Nothing, I just don't like others threatening me." Yang Fan said, "Besides, don't you know why Ji Qingzhou was chosen for this play? The investors of this play are all targeting him. I will give Sun Fu an equal role now, do you think the investors will agree?"
“Investors don’t care about these things.”
Yang Fan smiled, thinking that he was concerned about more than just these things.
Yang Fan didn't know Chu Cheng was Yi Suo Yan Yu Ren Ping Sheng until he signed the contract, so he insisted on retaining the author's screenwriting rights in the contract. Therefore, the copyright fee for "Partridge" was very low, but Chu Cheng's investment was very high. When he revised the script with the screenwriter over and over again, he kept explaining his creative ideas and character motivations.
Yang Fan could see that Chu Cheng was very serious about this play, and he gave the crew the greatest support in exchange for his screenwriting rights and Ji Qingzhou as the protagonist. Chu Cheng would never agree to the same thing, not only because of Ji Qingzhou, but also because it was completely inconsistent with his script.
Yang Fan has no prejudice against traffic actors. He is a very mature producer, so he always looks at traffic actors rationally and thinks that their existence is reasonable. But he doesn't like actors who are too troublesome, especially those who threaten to go on strike at any time. Sun Fuzai made this request for the start of filming, which was nothing more than predicting that it might not be possible to find suitable actors at this time, and used this to force the crew to make concessions.
Yang Fan was indeed worried about this, but he soon realized that it might be difficult to find one for him, but there was Xiyu Entertainment behind Chu Cheng. With so many actors, there would always be one suitable one.
"Okay, that's it. You leave too. I'll recruit new actors." He said, looking at Zhuoxin's agent, "What about you? Do you have any other requests?"
"I didn't," Zhuoxin's agent also rushed over after hearing Sun Fu's movements, "I support the crew's decision. I just think that Xin is the female lead anyway, and she can't be ranked too low, right?"
"Okay, that's it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He finished speaking, walked out, and told Chu Cheng about this.
Chu Cheng sneered when he heard this, "That's a nice thought. He wants to be equal to the first rank. Why doesn't he ask for the first rank himself? He really has no idea what's going on."
Yang Fanxin, do you think he doesn't want it?
"This kind of actor has too many scenes to watch, and who knows what kind of trouble he might get into in the future. It's best to let him go. He's just an actor, right? I'll recommend a few of them to audition with you tomorrow."
Yang Fan and him were doing this just for this sentence, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chu."
"It's okay. Just shoot this movie well. If you need anything, just tell me directly. I don't ask for anything else. Just one thing: you must shoot it well."
"That's natural."
However, what Chu Cheng and Yang Fan did not expect was that just when Chu Cheng was thinking about who in Xiyu Entertainment was suitable for the second male lead in his writing, someone they did not expect actually took the initiative to contact Ji Qingzhou and volunteered to play the role.
"You mean you want to play the second male lead in this drama?" Ji Qingzhou asked in surprise.
Ying Nian responded, "That's right, isn't it okay?"
"Of course you can, but..." Ji Qingzhou didn't quite understand, "You should know that I will be the last one to appear in this drama, right? You've been in the industry longer than me, and your status is higher than mine, don't you mind?"
If you count carefully, Ying Nian and Sun Fu are both about 15th-tier. Ying Nian is even more popular than Sun Fu. Why would he play a supporting role for him at this time?
"It's impossible for you to not mind at all. After all, on the promotional poster of "Fight at 48 Hours", my ranking is ahead of yours. But," Ying Nian paused, "you can regard this as my token of loyalty."
"What's the meaning?"
"Ji Qingzhou, there is something I want to ask you for help with."
"What's up?"
"My agency contract is about to expire. I don't plan to renew it. I plan to change jobs. I want you to help me get into Western Entertainment."
Ji Qingzhou was a little confused. "I don't quite understand, Ying Nian, you are quite popular. If you want to come to Western Entertainment, why do you need to do all this? As long as you express your intention, there will definitely be an agent in Western Entertainment who will take the initiative to find you and want to sign you."
Ying Nian laughed, "If only it were that simple."
"What's the meaning?"
"Let's wait until the time comes." Ying Nian said, "But there will be some trouble, so I came to you, hoping you can help me with this, okay?"
Ji Qingzhou had a good impression of him, and the few times they had spent together were pleasant. In addition, Ying Nian had previously reminded him about Fang Yaoxuan and Luo Yuxin, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you. But it's not a big deal. You don't need to lower your status to play the second male lead for me. It's also a good thing for Xiyu Entertainment to come here. There's no need to do this."
Ying Nian felt that he was really pure and kind. "No merit, no reward. Reciprocity is the norm. You help me once, and I will help you once. That's it. I'll tell you in advance so that you won't be surprised when we meet in the crew."
