Chapter 23 Chapter 23 No one should be that stupid, right? ...
Qin Yi started the live broadcast as usual today.
As the popularity of the crew gradually increased, the number of people in his live broadcast room also increased. Even during the lunch period, the number of people online exceeded 50,000. Those who stayed not only came because of the popularity of the crew, but also because of the fans he had accumulated during this period of time.
The quality of the crew's food is now gradually improving, and the days when there was only white rice are gone forever. After the meal, Qin Yi told the audience in the live broadcast room about his future arrangements: "I will stop live broadcasting for three days, and I will concentrate on filming in the future."
[Ah, three days later? No, I want to keep watching! ]
[? ? ? Why?]
[Did the contract with Tik Tok expire? 】
Qin Yi has a lot of online viewers. When they heard the bad news, the screen was filled with comments. Those who wanted him to continue the live broadcast were wailing in the comments.
【Why? Douyin, I order you to sign a ten-year contract with Brother Qin immediately! 】
【I haven’t seen enough. 】
【Brother Qin, you are now the top 1 in the noon time slot on Douyin. Didn’t Douyin renew your contract? 】
Qin Yi saw this comment and replied, “We talked about the contract renewal, but my role is gradually increasing. It’s hard to find time to live broadcast for you. The official Weibo also released the behind-the-scenes footage of our filming. You can also follow the official Weibo.”
【How can the behind-the-scenes footage compare to the live broadcast! I just became a fan of Brother Qin and received this bad news. 】
【Okay, and he also said to follow the official Weibo account, anyone who sees it can't help but say that Brother Qin is dedicated! 】
【It's simply unforgivable that Brother Qin wasn't popular before. With such a handsome face, he can make a lot of money in the live broadcast industry! 】
【Not broadcasting anymore? But I haven't seen the rich female investor yet! I want to see what the rich female looks like! 】
【Do you want to see the investor? Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. 】
Driven by this barrage, many people swiped their screens to see the investor. Qin Yi has been live broadcasting for so long that they have known most of the people in the crew. Some of the little stars who came to Qin Yi to get in the spotlight have also gained a lot of fans because they can make fun of people, so there are very few people in the crew who are unwilling to appear on camera. But the investors never appeared in the camera. Qin Yi accidentally took a picture of a corner of clothes and quickly moved the camera, which disappointed them.
Qin Yi: "Investors are not allowed. Investors don't want to be on camera."
She doesn't want to live the life of an internet celebrity, being photographed wherever she goes. Even if her identity will be exposed in front of the camera in the future, at least she can live a peaceful life for now.
[What about Sister Encounter? Sister Encounter also took a few amazing pictures for the crew. Can I see Sister Encounter? ]
Qin Yi: "This is not allowed either. Sister Encounter doesn't want to be on camera, and we don't know where she took those pictures when she took them."
This is the truth. When Lu Jiao took pictures for the crew, she just picked up her mobile phone and took them. The amazing pictures depended on her composition skills and the atmosphere of the picture itself.
For example, the female lead Ji Yun, who was photographed by Lu Jiao once, happened to be snowing that day, so Wang Chang took advantage of the snow scene to shoot the scene of the female lead's first appearance.
The snow scene matches the red dress, and Ji Yun was trembling when she put on the clothes. The price of the gold decoration design on her bald head is hundreds of thousands, not to mention the red cloak that is purely hand-embroidered.
Lu Jiao came to visit the set, and after seeing this scene, the photographer's DNA moved, and he took out his mobile phone on the spot to take a picture
of this scene. When it was uploaded to the official Weibo, fans would automatically recognize it. Seeing this blockbuster feeling and the reposting that went viral soon after it was posted, only Jiehoujie has this ability. Many people complained that when you want to see Jiehoujie's pictures, you don't need to check her own Weibo, just look at the official Weibo of "Mountain River Breaks Dawn".
Here you can catch a random Encounter Sister.
This picture is just like all the pictures taken by Encounter Sister before, with over 10,000 reposts in a matter of minutes.
After seeing it, Ji Yun was even more excited and forwarded it to praise the photography skills.
All the pictures taken by Lu Jiao afterwards were like this. Lu Jiao put away his phone after taking the pictures, and he looked like a passerby. It was difficult for others to find Encounter Sister by looking for someone with a camera.
[Encounter Sister, appearing and disappearing like a ghost hhhhh]
[It seems that Encounter Sister has been lazy recently. I haven't taken pictures of Qi Xing for a long time. I can only come to the crew to find pictures. ]
[Before, I basically kept the speed of producing pictures once a week, but now I only produce one picture in two weeks. ]
[This is Brother Qin's live broadcast room. It is recommended not to mention irrelevant people for too long~]
Qin Yi chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room for a few more words, and then closed the live broadcast room.
Just after leaving the live broadcast room, the agent called him.
"I didn't disturb your live broadcast, but you should have ended the broadcast according to the time."
Qin Yi said, "No."
Without saying a few words of casual chat, the agent said to him, "Vice President Liu is back, and Zhuo Yang went to his office as soon as he arrived. You'd better be careful that he comes to find you again." After that, he couldn't help but curse a few times, and said unhappily, "If Zhuo Yang hadn't relied on Vice President Liu being his uncle, how could he have been so successful in the circle? Let me go back and find Lao Wang to see if I can get Lao Wang to catch up "I want to say a few nice things to you."
Qin Yi's expression remained unchanged: "Thank you."
The agent cursed a few more times and then asked Qin Yi tentatively: "When you took this role, did the director take a fancy to you?"
This question has been hidden in his heart for a long time. After all, Qin Yi was so obscure before taking this play. He had been in the circle for ten years and was still playing minor roles in the crew. How did he suddenly play the second male lead in a big production? How could Qin Yi take this play by himself without a company to run?
Qin Yi said, "I guess so. The investor saw my performance and thought I was suitable for the role, so he recommended me to the director."
The agent said thoughtfully, "Okay, you should have a better relationship with the investor. It's better to have an investor with a good background say something good to you at a critical moment."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi recalled the grudge between him and Vice President Liu.
Vice President Liu is an old man in the company. He was there when the chairman just started the business. Because they started the business together, he was favored by the boss. Later, Vice President Wang was promoted, but Vice President Wang was promoted later. In addition, Vice President Liu was unwilling to let others share too much power with him, so he played a lot of tricks behind his back. The chairman wanted
to retire from the front line because of his age, and he was inclined to let Vice President Liu serve as president. Therefore, Vice President Liu has absolute power in the company due to his friendship with the chairman.
Unspoken rules are a normal part of his daily life. At first, it was consensual, but later on, power infected his brain, and he wanted to force an unwilling actress when he was drunk. Qin Yi happened to be in a play with this actress at the time. When everyone else pretended not to see it, Qin Yi directly hit Vice President Liu on the head with a beer bottle.
As the blood on Vice President Liu's head slowly flowed down, the agent's action of holding the beer bottle and trying to pour it into his mouth also deviated, and directly soaked his pants.
After this bottle of wine, not only did Vice President Liu sober up, but the others were also shocked. He
quickly ran to Vice President Liu to ask about his well-being and wipe the blood off his head, and the actress who was originally trapped in Vice President Liu's arms also ran behind Qin Yi with tears on her face.
When someone mentioned calling the police, they were slapped on the head by the people around them: Are you stupid? The person who was arrested might not be Qin Yi, but more likely Vice President Liu who attempted suicide. Qin Yi was still a brave man.
Although Vice President Liu suffered a loss, he was not without a way to deal with Qin Yi. The next day, with his head still wrapped in gauze, he announced in the company that Qin Yi would be hidden.
All the resources that belonged to Qin Yi before were given to his good nephew Zhuo Yang.
And because Qin Yi could not pay the penalty for breach of contract, he had to stay in the company. In the first few years when Vice President Liu hated him, he could not even get the role of an extra. It was not until the next few years that things got better.
After Lu Jiao knew about Qin Yi's previous experience, he said that the demon was small but powerful.
Qisheng is not a well-known big company in the industry. It can only be regarded as a medium-sized company. It has cultivated several famous artists. If Qin Yi had not signed with this company before, she would not have taken this company seriously.
Lu Jiao is slowly collecting dirt on this company. Although the progress is slow, she is not in a hurry. If Vice President Liu has a little brain, she will not think of dealing with Qin Yi now. The role of Qin Yi was decided directly without an audition. It is no secret that he is in the production circle. She also asked Qin Yi to hint that the investors are optimistic about him. Now, it is a slap in her face to deal with Qin Yi.
-After
the agent hung up the phone, he was reluctant to let the artist who had finally improved be ruined. He hasn't had a popular star for a while. If Qin Yi falls again, he will not be able to get a high salary this month and the next six months.
Therefore, without much hesitation, he told his boss, hoping that he could talk to a senior executive to see if he could keep Qin Yi for his current value.
The boss also knew about Qin Yi's recent popularity, and thought about the benefits. Qin Yi had not been famous for several years, and Vice President Liu should have digested all the resentment in his heart after such an incident. Therefore, he nodded and planned to mention Qin Yi to Vice President Li when reporting on work in the afternoon.
The boss knocked on Vice President Li's door with a stack of information, and unexpectedly, there was someone in Vice President Li's office.
He waited for a moment, and then saw Vice President Liu coming out of the office. He felt a little uneasy. Everyone in the company knew that Vice President Wang and Liu were not getting along, and Vice President Wang was still at a disadvantage in the struggle.
As expected, when he pushed the door open, he saw Vice President Wang sitting in an office chair and taking a breath.
When Vice President Li saw him, his expression softened a little, but not much.
He waved his hand to signal him to close the door.
He was really angry enough with Vice President Liu just now. He worked hard for the company. Vice President Liu was not as capable as him and had a higher position in the company, but he was trying to squeeze him out openly and secretly. He just came to the office and told him with a boastful tone that the shareholders' meeting would vote later, and he would most likely become the president.
If Vice President Liu was to take that position, what would be the place for Li Kai in this company? He was afraid that he would be squeezed out by Vice President Liu in the second year!
Seeing that Vice President Li was still angry, the boss thought for a moment and reported several good things, including Qin Yi's recent resurgence in popularity. His participation in "Mountain River Breaks Dawn" brought him a lot of fame.
Vice President Li came to his senses and heard about "Mountain River Breaks Dawn". He looked up and asked him, "Is it the drama that the investor invested in that was making a lot of noise on the Internet some time ago?"
The boss nodded and told him that Qin Yi was specially selected by the investor to act in this drama.
When Vice President Li saw the video before, he was a little surprised to know that Qin Yi was from his own company. How could such a person still be unknown in the circle? The old people in the company talked about the feud between Qin Yi and Vice President Liu as gossip, and he could only shout Qin Yi in his heart.
Hearing that Qin Yi and the investor were quite familiar with each other, he recalled the action when he fell badly. He wanted to pull Qi Xing down, and played a two-card card thinking that he was invincible, but the opponent directly bombed him, which made him dizzy. He was criticized by the chairman and was mocked and stepped on several times by Vice President Liu.
The investor of the drama "Mountain River Breaks Dawn" and Xiehou Xinghe are good friends, so when he heard that the investor was optimistic about Qin Yi, his first thought was: these two people are not of the same character, the kind who fancy an artist to invest heavily in him.
But he quickly put this idea aside because it was too ridiculous. He snorted coldly, "If Lao Liu really dares to do something exciting in this play, he will be too stupid."
Vice President Li still didn't understand Vice President Liu well enough.
Because Vice President Liu found the producer Zhang Jiang the next day.
He proposed that Qisheng could invest 30 million in this play, but there was a request, that the role of Qin Yi be replaced by Zhuo Yang.
Zhang Jiang: "Ah?"
Vice President Liu smiled and said, "Our company thinks this drama has great prospects. We also think that the crew has been short of investment, so we want to offer 30 million yuan, so that the crew can be richer when filming the drama, and we also want to make friends with Miss Lu. As for the expenses after the role change, I will take care of it, and our publicity department can also use it, so that the change of roles will not affect the crew."
It is true that the company is interested in "Mountain River Breaks Dawn". The company has not invested in a lucrative production for a long time. Before Vice President Liu came, he had already investigated the situation of the only investor and concluded that those antiques and treasures were only given by Lu Jiao's family. The money for the crew was still invested by Lu Jiao. Although the props money was saved, there were still shortages here and there.
Of course, it was Vice President Liu's personal opinion to replace Qin Yi with Zhuo Yang.
In his opinion, even if Qin Yi is a little popular now, he is not as famous as Zhuo Yang. After all, Zhuo Yang is a second-tier star, and even if he is a second-tier star, he is more famous than Qin Yi. A famous artist is replaced by an artist without any foundation, and it is a stable trade. This is an investment of 40 million. Anyone would agree to exchange Qin Yi for 40 million at the first time.
But Zhang Jiang is the only one who knows why Lu Jiao invested in this drama. He saw from their interactions during this period that if Qin Yi was not there, Lu Jiao might spend this money to invest in other TV series, not necessarily in this drama.
So he tactfully rejected Vice President Liu, who came with the mission of the company's investment, and the board of directors was very optimistic about this TV series. So he did not quit easily, and spoke earnestly to Zhang Jiang about the benefits of giving 30 million to the crew.
If he did not have that extra request, Zhang Jiang might have told Lu Jiao about the investment, after all, no one would go against money, but he wanted to replace Qin Yi, which was absolutely impossible.
Seeing that Zhang Jiang refused to accept the investment, Vice President Liu also expressed his anger. Having been in a high position for many years, he had rarely been rejected like this before, so he looked at Zhang Jiang coldly: "Producer Zhang, you have to think carefully. Qisheng can bring you more than just 30 million, and if you refuse, you will lose more than 30 million."
This is an invisible threat.
However, Zhang Jiang thought about the background of his own investors who had not yet revealed the whole story, and he was very confident: "Sorry, our crew does not need this 30 million investment."
Vice President Liu pulled the corner of his mouth coldly and turned away.
Zhang Jiang drank a sip of tea. Vice President Liu should not think about dealing with the crew. Miss Lu's means of buying all the antiques in the antique circle were before, so don't act rashly if you don't know the ins and outs.
He had underestimated Vice President Liu's temper. He had been thinking about becoming the chairman in the future, and his temper rose along with his status. No matter how smooth Zhang Jiang's words were, he still felt that he was humiliated. In addition, Qin Yi was still in the crew, so how could he swallow this? Just
when Vice President Liu was about to mobilize the company's publicity department, Vice President Li finally made a phone call to Lu Jiao after much difficulty.
"Ms. Lu, it's not easy to get your contact information," Vice President Li laughed.
Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow: "Then why did you go through so much trouble, Vice President Li?"
Vice President Li sighed and said: "You should also know that Vice President Liu came to invest. In fact, I don't agree with Vice President Liu's approach, but I have no say in the company. But I have admired Miss Lu's ability for a long time, and I thought of a way to get your contact information. Qisheng failed to invest in you this time, and we still have a chance to cooperate."
Hearing this, Lu Jiao knew the purpose of Vice President Li's call. She has been dissatisfied with Vice President Liu for a long time, and called to test her tone. If she can find out that she is dissatisfied with Vice President Liu, she will cooperate to get rid of Vice President Liu.
This call was very clever, and she was indeed very dissatisfied with Vice President Liu.
