Chairman Ka narrowed his eyes, somewhat puzzled, and simply gave up trying to figure it out.
Moreover, he naturally didn't want Li Zhaoyang to be rooted in the film and television industry.
Those with musical talent should dedicate all their energy to music.
Seeing Chairman Ka's expression, Watanabe thought it was about time and cleared his throat to speak:
"Chairman Ka, I don't know if you've seen the article that Rizhao Group published before? That was the one I published. I sincerely hope that Li Zhaoyang can devote all his energy to music. Music creation is something that sometimes you can't keep up with your ideas if you neglect it for a week or two. Not to mention filmmaking, which is a time-consuming industry that can take several months, or even half a year."
Watanabe No spoke with genuine emotion, acting as if it were real: "Teacher Li Zhaoyang is a musical prodigy. I, Watanabe No, sincerely hope that he can make great strides in the music industry and wait for the day when he is hailed as a god. At that time, Li Zhaoyang, the nominal representative of our American Music Writers Association, will appear as the God of Music, adding another renowned God of Music to the American music scene!"
The phrase "music god" immediately energized Chang Chen and Noda, making them incredibly excited.
“A short pain is worse than a long one, that’s true, but… Wanxia has already started funding Li Zhaoyang to film the movie, and stopping it at this critical juncture… I’m afraid it will be very difficult to call a halt.” Chairman Ka looked troubled; he didn’t want to be the bad guy and kept hinting at it.
Zhang Zhen stood up decisively, patted his chest, and shouted, "Having already invested is a small matter. Besides, they haven't even secured the filming location yet; they've only spent some money on the actors. As long as Teacher Li Zhaoyang can continue to dedicate himself to the music industry, my Raven Group is willing to accept all the actors that Teacher Li Zhaoyang invites! And they will be hired at high salaries, without any auditions!"
Zhang Zhen spoke with a strong and resounding tone, revealing his true feelings, and his words were filled with righteousness and integrity!
"Brother Zhang is so righteous!" Watanabe was moved by what he said: "Since Brother Zhang has said so, then our Rizhao Group will also make a statement. If Teacher Li Zhaoyang has already prepared all the filming props in advance, our Rizhao Group will buy them back at the original price. We will absolutely not let Li Zhaoyang lose a single penny!"
"This..." Chairman Ka hesitated, but actually found a way out. He pretended to think for a few seconds before making a decision: "Okay, I will call Representative Li to the association to talk tomorrow morning."
Noda Kazuto: "Every day we delay, we'll lose a day's wages. Why don't we call Teacher Li Zhaoyang over for a chat now? It's not time to leave work yet anyway."
Chairman Ka was very reluctant. He wanted to go to the sauna, but considering how loyal the three leaders were, he felt it would be unreasonable not to call Representative Li over for a chat now.
immediately.
Chairman Ka picked up the landline and directly notified the person in charge of the Writers' Association: "Go and tell Representative Li Zhaoyang to come to the association now. Tell him that the association chairman is looking for him."
Chang Chen, Watanabe No, and Noda Kazuto exchanged a knowing smile, their unspoken thoughts tacitly understood each other.
It's done!
The part that will disgust Li Zhaoyang is coming soon.
Later, they will take the side of justice and add fuel to the fire. As long as Li Zhaoyang and Chairman Ka have an unpleasant conversation, their goal will be achieved.
If Li Zhaoyang gets angry and argues back with Chairman Ka, that would be even better.
Watanabe gave Noda a look.
Noda understood, told Chairman Ka, and then went outside the office to call Kimura, asking him to put pressure on Yang Kai.
The more bad news Yang Kai brings, the angrier Li Zhaoyang will become.
...
"Director Li, I feel something is wrong. Kimura from Sihai is like a powder keg, he has already taken on 13 scenic area contracts, 3 of which are 5A."
Sunset.
Li Zhaoyang's office.
He was on the phone with Yang Kai when he heard the news. A smile appeared on his lips. Calculating the time, it was about time: "The effect is not enough. Let's throw out the last trump card. Contact all the heads of 5A-level scenic spots in one go. You don't need to negotiate. Let's see how much Sihai can take."
Yang Kai on the phone was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Si was next to Yang Kai, but after being reminded like this, Yang Kai asked tentatively in an uncertain tone, "Director Li, did I hear that right? Contact all the heads of 5A-level scenic spots? The people from Sihai aren't stupid. They saw through the ruse immediately. How could they possibly continue eating there?"
Before Li Zhaoyang could answer, the landline phone rang.
Li Zhaoyang already had a guess in mind, and said, "Director Yang, don't hang up yet, I need to take this call."
He reached out to answer the landline phone.
Sure enough, it was the person in charge from the association calling, asking Chairman Ka to come to the association right now.
After hanging up the phone, Li Zhaoyang's suspicions deepened. Everything was under control: "Let Sihai continue eating, Director Yang. There's about half an hour left. After you finish this half hour, just wait and see the show. Remember, contact the heads of all the 5A scenic spots. No matter what method you use, make sure Sihai eats as much as he can."
Yang Kai's tone became unnatural: "...Okay, I might not have enough manpower on my side, I can only say I'll try my best to get it done."
After ending the phone call, Yang Kai, who was somewhere, wondered what was going on.
How did making a movie, which was originally just a simple matter, turn into a commercial tug-of-war?
"Brother Yang, what exactly are Director Li and the others trying to do?" Xiao Si, standing next to him, was the most confused. He was just a logistics staff member on set and didn't have a broad perspective, so he felt that this whole charade was a mystery.
"I don't know, let's just do it first. Anyway, there's still half an hour left. After we're done, we'll wait for news from Wanxia." Yang Kai squinted his eyes, already thinking about what would happen in half an hour.
...
"Zhaoyang, I'll go with you."
After learning that Zhao Yang was going to the association, Zhang Shulan guessed that the plan was in its final stages and that it was time for them to perform.
Zhang Xincheng, on the other hand, knew the plan's process but was unaware of some important details, so he also wanted to go along.
In the end, Zhang Xincheng took on the responsibility of being the driver and took the director and Zhaoyang to Sifanglou.
On the way there, Zhang Xincheng received a call from Lao Gou.
Manager Gou is probably asking if there's a problem with the movie.
He may have heard about the work that Ling'er and Songzhou were going to record, so he is paying close attention to the film.
It's not just about valuing the interlude; they're also thinking about coming to the film crew to play minor roles.
"Old Gou, call me back in half an hour or an hour, and I'll be able to answer you then." Zhang Xincheng couldn't answer either.
He felt that after a trip to Sifanglou, he would have the answer in his heart.
The director had clearly figured out Zhaoyang's entire plan.
Since the director isn't worried, he, as a supervisor, won't bother with unnecessary concerns. He can just focus on doing his logistical work.
After the director's scheme to lure him into a trap, he acknowledged the director's work ability.
