Chapter 624 I Can Only Change You
When Cheng Xuyuan arrived at Bertoci's residence, Bertoci's expression was also filled with anger.
And his assistant, a tall middle-aged man in his forties, said quickly: "Betouchi, you saw it too."
"It's not that I don't want to cooperate with Xie, it's just that he has too many demands."
"Neither this nor that."
"I don't think he's doing this for the good of our movie. He's actually making it more difficult to shoot the movie."
"Dear Mr. Bertocchi, I think we should change people."
"We don't need such an assistant director in our movie."
"I think we can shoot faster without him."
Bertoci's expression was somewhat serious, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
This time, he called Xie Jin and his assistant over to resolve the conflict between the two.
However, he didn't expect that the two people started arguing before his coordination was effective, which made him feel angry.
But at this moment, his heart was very much inclined towards his assistant.
Not only because the assistant had followed him for many years, but he also felt that the assistant was completely considerate of the film.
However, Xie Jin obstructed the filming of the movie for some ridiculous reasons.
If this continues, the filming of this movie will become a distant dream.
He didn't want to see such a situation.
After taking a sip from the water cup in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "Dear Slov, I will take care of this matter."
"Go and get ready. We'll continue filming tomorrow."
When Slov heard what Bertochi said, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He had followed Bertoci for quite some time and knew that when Bertoci said this, it meant that Bertoci had made up his mind.
"Okay Mr. Bertozzi, I'll get ready right away."
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
Just as Slov was about to leave, he heard a knock on the door.
Slov quickly opened the door and saw Cheng Xuyuan walking in.
Slov was no stranger to Cheng Xuyuan. He knew that he was not only the facilitator of the filming of The Last Emperor, but also seemed to have invested in the filming of The Last Emperor.
He is also the screenwriter.
It can be said that this is also a big shot in the crew.
But Slov didn't pay much attention to Cheng Xuyuan.
He felt that Mr. Bertocchi should be responsible for this film.
As for this young man, although he is very talented, there are some things that are beyond his control.
"Mr. Cheng." Slov greeted Cheng Xuyuan.
At this time, he still maintained his proper politeness.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded lightly, then said to Bertoci: "Mr. Bertoci, I want to talk to you about something."
"Dear Cheng, I have something to talk to you about."
Bertoci smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk. My friend just happened to bring me a bottle of good wine."
As he spoke, Bertoci took out a wine bottle with a cork.
When Slov saw the bottle of wine that Bertoci took out, he knew that Bertoci really valued the person in front of him, otherwise he would not have taken out his treasured wine.
You know, he only drank half a glass of this bottle of wine.
Just as he was wondering whether Bertoci would give him a cup, he heard Bertoci say, "Mr. Slov, you go and do your work first."
Although Slov felt a little reluctant, he still left obediently.
With Slov's departure, the atmosphere in the house seemed a little depressing for a moment.
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said, "This wine is really good."
Bertoci said: "If you like, I'll ask my friends to prepare a few more bottles for you."
"He has a wine estate in Gaul."
“The grapes produced are good, and the winemaking skills are also good.”
It seemed like both of them became interested in wine all of a sudden and talked for three or four minutes.
After taking a few sips of wine, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Betochi, didn't you say you had something to tell me? Then tell me first."
Bertoci hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Cheng, I attach great importance to the filming of The Last Emperor."
“Not only did I find the best team, but I also did a lot of planning.”
“I very much hope that this film will go ahead.”
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say anything. He knew that Bertoci was telling him all this just to pave the way.
Since he wants to lay the groundwork, then I will just wait for him to finish.
"But now, I have a problem."
"I really recognize Director Xie's talent. He provided us with a lot of help for this play."
"I really recognize his ability and hope to continue working with him."
"But unfortunately, sometimes, it's hard to have it all."
"Perhaps because of different philosophies, we had a disagreement, so much so that the filming of the movie had to be stopped."
"Cheng, this is something I really don't want to see."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Bertoci who looked serious and said calmly: "So?"
"So, I hope I can change an assistant."
"It's a pity, but I have no other choice!"
"Because he has slowed down the filming of the movie."
Cheng Xuyuan did not speak immediately, but took a sip of wine and said, "Mr. Bertozzi, I heard that your hometown is in Rome?"
Bertoci didn't know why Cheng Xuyuan suddenly brought this up.
But he had a not-so-good feeling in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes."
"I heard that you have a famous painting in the palace, which was painted by the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci. Is that true?"
Cheng Xuyuan was still unhurried, and when Bertoci heard what Cheng Xuyuan said, he already understood something.
He knew the purpose of Cheng Xuyuan bringing up this matter.
He said in a deep voice: "Cheng, there is such a painting."
“But this painting and the location where we are shooting now are different. They have different artistic values, so they cannot be compared.”
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan said seriously: "What's the difference?"
“They are all historic sites.”
Bertoci wanted to explain, but for a moment, he couldn't find a reason to explain.
In the end, he stopped talking and just looked at Cheng Xuyuan quietly.
Cheng Xuyuan continued, "Would you hammer a few nails into that painting just to make a movie?"
Bertoci really wanted to say that he was willing, but in the end, he didn't say it because there was really no need to lie.
So after a moment of silence, he said, "Cheng, I'm here for the filming of a movie."
"And in order for this film to continue, it had to change."
"I respect Director Xie very much, but..."
Without waiting for Bertoci to finish, Cheng Xuyuan said calmly: "Director Xie must continue filming."
These words made Bertoci's face suddenly become extremely ugly.
He wanted to let the person leave, but Cheng Xuyuan refused and didn't even give him any face.
This filled his heart with anger.
"Mr. Cheng, if you insist on keeping Xie, then I won't be able to film."
"We have no choice but to stop filming this movie."
There was a hint of threat in Bertoci's words.
He felt that after he said this, Cheng Xuyuan would definitely give in.
After all, it seems that I am indispensable to the filming of this movie.
But what he didn't expect was that after hearing his words, Cheng Xuyuan was not anxious at all, and there was not even a trace of anxiety on his face.
He just looked at Bertoci calmly, as if he was listening to an ordinary thing.
This kind of look made Bertoci feel a little scared.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cheng Xuyuan say, "The filming of this movie will not stop."
Hearing this, Bertoci said: "Cheng, as long as you support it, of course this movie will not stop."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood what I meant."
"I mean, even if you don't make it, someone will continue to make this movie."
"We have a script, a director, actors, and investors..."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Bertoci suddenly lost his composure.
He said hurriedly: "Cheng, many of these investors are recruited by me."
"And if you replace me as the director, do you think you can still get this film into Hollywood?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Bertoci, who looked a little pale, and said slowly, "Yes!"
“Now I have several director friends in Hollywood.”
"What's more, under the current circumstances, if we are looking for directors, I think many Hollywood directors will sign up."
Bertoci wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.
Because he knew that what Cheng Xuyuan said was true.
In this case, it's really hard to refute.
After a moment of hesitation, Bertoci said, "Cheng, even if you can find a director, they can't shoot as well as I can."
"In response to this, Cheng Xuyuan said calmly: "I think as long as I am here, the filming should not be bad."
This sentence can be said to have blocked Bertoci's way.
Bertoci looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked confident, and finally sighed.
Although he had many reasons, he knew one thing was true, that is, if Cheng Xuyuan really paid attention to the filming of the movie, it should have been done very well.
After all, he wrote the whole story.
It seems that I am not that important.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Bertoci had already made a decision.
He spent a lot of effort on this movie, so he naturally couldn't give up.
If he can't give up, someone will have to be given up.
"Cheng, what you just said makes a lot of sense."
"I think we should solve the problem instead of wasting time."
"Although the method Director Xie found is a bit troublesome, I think if it is used, it can quickly improve our filming progress."
"As for the rest, just add some post-management work."
Bertoci's words were undoubtedly a statement to Cheng Xuyuan that he chose to give in to the different opinions this time.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally understood what Bertoci meant, but he was not prepared to let it go.
He said calmly: "It's great that you think this way, Mr. Bertoci."
"But I heard that Mr. Slov has a lot of opinions about this matter."
"Mr. Slov doesn't think clearly about some things."
"Then pay Mr. Slov and let him go."
Although Cheng Xuyuan's words were tactful, they were extremely firm.
Bertoci didn't expect that after he chose to give up, Cheng Xuyuan didn't chase him, but wanted Slov to leave.
Slov followed me for quite some time and helped me a lot.
If I give up Slov so easily, then...
As thoughts flashed through his mind, he said in a deep voice, "Cheng, Slov is a serious person."
"The reason why he keeps raising different opinions is because he is too serious about this matter."
"I think we should give him a chance."
"I believe he won't argue with Director Xie again in the future."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Bertoci with a serious expression, and with a thought flashing in his mind, he said calmly: "Bertoci, I know you are reluctant to part with Mr. Slov."
"But some people are really no longer suitable to stay."
"I also don't want to choose anyone else, but there's nothing I can do!"
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Bertoci fall into deep thought.
He knew that Cheng Xuyuan's words contained a warning.
If he sounded a little angry before, but slowly, a sense of confusion arose in his heart.
The reason for this hesitation is strength.
He didn't take Cheng Xuyuan seriously at first, but when he felt that Cheng Xuyuan could really threaten him, he felt a little more afraid.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "Different philosophies always face various problems."
"Maybe Mr. Slov really needs to find a place to have a good rest."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I think so too."
More than twenty minutes later, Cheng Xuyuan walked out of Bertoci's residence.
At this time, not only Xie Jin was waiting for him, but Li Tuo and others also did not leave.
At this time, they were worried whether Cheng Xuyuan could convince Bertoci.
After all, it is not easy for him to convince someone like Bertoci with nothing but empty words.
"Xuyuan, what does Director Bertocchi say? Does he agree with our opinion?" Xie Jin came to Cheng Xuyuan and asked.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Director Xie, Director Bertocchi has given your opinion very serious consideration. He thinks your opinion is very pertinent."
"So, he decided to listen to your advice."
"Xie Dao, I really admire you for this time!"
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment. He knew very well that Mr. Bertoci did not agree with his opinion.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked so nonchalant when he went in.
You could say...
This is a 180-degree turn.
"Xuyuan, are you telling the truth?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Director Xie, how could I lie to you about this matter?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Xie Jin said: "That's fine. Next time, I will definitely put aside my prejudice and cooperate well with Mr. Slov."
After hearing what Xie Jin said, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future."
