Chapter 262 How can a person be so unpromising!
Qi Rong was very calm when she said these words.
Others in the company were furious.
Administrator Xiao Wu slammed the table and said, "This is too much! Sister Qi Rong only agreed to play this role after the foreign director invited you several times. Those white dogs are just killing you after you have done your job!"
Xiaohua from the editing team: "Didn't they say this is a female-led drama? If your scenes are deleted, who will get the screen time?"
Qi Rong sighed, looking helpless and angry. "At first it was said to be a female-led drama, but after filming started, the screenwriter began to change the script and added a lot of highlight scenes for the male characters."
Su Zi frowned, "Why didn't you tell me that this happened right after the filming started?"
Qi Rong explained: "The only way to deal with this matter is to pay the penalty and leave, but why should we give them money for nothing?"
"Just cut my scenes, just think of it as me going out to study for a while."
"We have learned from our mistakes. In the future, for overseas productions like this, we can make an agreement in advance. If the production company changes the script or cuts scenes, we can ask the other party to pay for breach of contract."
I have been angry before, and I have also fought for myself and argued for myself.
Later she felt that it was unnecessary and regarded this experience as a learning experience, which made her feel much calmer.
Besides, she is an adult and has the ability to deal with setbacks and stress.
"So, this drama is actually trying to use your fame as an international film queen to promote other male actors, right?"
Su Zi's eyes were a little cold.
Qi Rong has a large number of fans, and just for this reason, many domestic film distribution companies are willing to spend money to buy the overseas broadcasting rights of the films directed by Qi Rong.
This director probably had this in mind.
Use Qi Rong as a publicity gimmick to trick major domestic film distribution companies into cooperating.
Once the contract is signed and the overseas broadcasting rights of the film are granted, he and the film's investors only need to wait to divide the money.
The protagonist in the movie even wants to increase his fame through this movie.
The calculation is thorough.
In the end, Qi Rong consumed her own fame but helped others.
Liu Yuan also said seriously: "It is most likely."
"Oh, give them some face."
"Sister Qi Rong, don't be afraid. Since they want to borrow your name, let's stop them from doing so. Tell the public about your experience on Big Eyes now and tell them not to watch this movie."
"But what if the foreign countries bite back and accuse Sister Qi Rong of spreading rumors? What if they come up with another unedited version of the film to refute our claims? Then we will be the ones to be embarrassed."
"Those shameless people actually dared to do such a thing. They must have a backup plan and must be on guard against us."
After listening to Xiao Wu's analysis, everyone started to look sad again.
Qi Rong was about to speak to comfort everyone, but Su Zi interrupted her: "We can't make it public, so let's keep a low profile."
"Sister Liu Yuan, you are the one who manages all of Sister Qi Rong's fan groups, right?"
"We can select a few reliable fans and spread the word privately."
"Let the fans know what's going on. Before the movie is released, please don't make any comments online or leak any information."
"I will contact the heads of major film distribution companies to see if there is any way to make some money from them."
Qi Rong is very popular among the public, and they are willing to support her works, not to mention that this is Qi Rong's first film shot overseas.
If we directly persuade these distributors not to purchase the broadcasting rights of this film, the chances of success are slim.
Seeing how confident Su Zi was when he said these words, everyone's mood gradually calmed down. This was the confidence Su Zi gave them.
"Boss Su, we all listen to you."
"Ok, Sister Liu Yuan, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need help, just let me know."
"Okay!" Liu Yuan said excitedly.
She was also holding her breath.
Everyone started eating and drinking again.
After the dinner in the restaurant, Su Zi called Qi Rong and Liu Yuan to his office separately.
Su Zi was actually very dissatisfied with how the two of them handled the matter.
Due to her personality, Qi Rong would often look back and forth when encountering things, worrying about this and that, and never considering herself.
Liu Yuan and Qi Rong are of the same kind.
"If you had told me about this matter at the beginning, the handling method wouldn't have been so troublesome."
After the two sat down, Su Zi got straight to the point.
Qi Rong smiled bitterly, "I just don't want to cause you any trouble. You are in charge of such a big job and you have to direct the show."
"I'm older than you. I think I can handle it."
But she didn't expect that the other party would go too far and eventually turn her, the leading female character, into the Nth female character.
What's more, she was unwilling to pay the penalty.
"What about you? You were so eager to make this drama a success that you even went to a racing club for training before filming, so that the result would be even better."
"Have you ever considered yourself? People say that parents are the best teachers for their children. If you always consider others, will your daughter be like you in the future, always considering others first and not herself?"
"Besides, what's wrong with paying the penalty? It's only 5 million, just give it to him. Besides, they were wrong in the first place, so it's not certain who will pay the penalty."
"I have always told everyone that we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either. If you have been treated unfairly, you should speak up at the first opportunity and protect your rights first."
"And you, Sister Liu Yuan, as Sister Qi Rong's manager, you should be the one taking the lead between the two of you at work. Why don't you say anything?"
"You just watched helplessly as the scenes that Sister Qi Rong had worked so hard to shoot were edited out by someone else!"
"Just make a fuss about it. Do you think public opinion is on your side or theirs?"
Liu Yuan whispered, "I'm worried that if this gets out of hand, those foreign directors won't want Qi Rong anymore."
"If you don't want to use it, then don't use it. My God, is the moon rounder abroad? Are the works they produce really so good that you can sacrifice your own rights and interests and endure the grievances to produce this drama?"
"How can a person be so unpromising?"
"Since you are not allowed to sit at the table, then just overturn the table and no one can eat! Is that difficult?"
The two men lowered their heads and said nothing after being scolded by Su Zi.
Before being scolded, the two were still moved by their own sacrifice.
After being scolded, I suddenly felt like a fool for my behavior.
These two are so many years older than Su Zi, but they don't think as thoroughly and clearly as Su Zi.
Seeing the two of them like this, Su Zi let out a long sigh.
"Sister Qi Rong, since you have promoted it at the racing club, let's not waste it. Let's make a Fast and Furious movie ourselves."
She wants to see who wins and who loses!
