Chapter 444: Relentless
After explaining these things, Fang Li looked back at Wen Yang's office, and finally asked Zhou Yufan to leave together.
Given Wen Yang's condition, it was obvious that the crew couldn't go.
With Yu Tian around, he wasn't worried about her.
The two got in the car, Fang Li transferred some money to Ji Tiantian, and then sent a message:
"After you finish your coffee, let everyone go home. You don't have to go back to the company. Today is half a day off."
Ji Tiantian quickly replied: "Okay, I know."
"Senior, Yangyang will probably need some time to recover from what happened. Can you help keep an eye on the work she's doing?"
Zhou Yufan nodded: "Don't worry."
Since the crew of Shenhuangdao received support from both Wenxi Film and Television and Xingli Film and Television, the filming has become particularly smooth.
Just over half a month after filming started, Fang Li and Zhou Yufan went to see it and found that the progress that had been lost had been basically caught up.
Moreover, many of the actors this time were recommended by Wenxi Film and Television. Unlike the newcomers that Shi Hang and others had found before, they have certain acting skills and the quality of the drama has also increased exponentially.
When the two came out of the crew, Zhou Yufan was still sighing.
"The actors at Wenxi Film and Television have pretty good acting skills."
Zhou Yufan walked while scrolling through the footage on his phone. "Look at the transformation in his eyes, from forbearance to outburst, all in one take."
Xu Fangli took the phone. The male protagonist on the screen was suffering from the fire of heaven due to an accident. The pain and restraint in his eyes were really shocking.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset at the film and television base stretched the shadows of the two people very long. In the distance came the noisy sounds of other crews finishing work.
"The actors' acting skills are indeed a plus."
Xu Fangli returned the phone and said, "Senior, since we've officially embarked on the path of a film and television production company, shouldn't we also cultivate some of our own artists?"
"I've thought about this too. I've recently asked Zheng Qian and the others to keep an eye out for talented amateurs. If we find a suitable one, it's not impossible to sign them first."
Fang Li nodded. "It's good that you have this idea, Senior. The filming of Brilliant Star will be finished soon, and the infringement lawsuit must be filed before then. I may be bothered by this matter for a while. As for the company..."
"The company is basically back on track. As long as everyone does their job, nothing will go wrong."
Fang Li smiled, then thought of something: "I heard Tiantian mention that the second film crew seems to be filming nearby today, a short drama about rebirth. Why don't we go and take a look together now that we're here?"
Zhou Yufan was about to respond when a fierce quarrel came from the corner.
The two looked at each other, quickened their pace and turned around Studio B. The scene in front of them made Xu Fangli's face darken instantly.
I saw that the venue in front was now fully occupied by a film crew.
A jib camera was placed horizontally in the middle, and a dozen extras wrapped in cotton coats were taking a break. On the other side, there was a team of only about 20 to 30 people, including the crew and actors, all squeezed into a corner.
Several of the young men working on the field were shoving and pushing a man wearing a baseball cap on the other side.
"What do you mean? All our approval documents are here!"
Chen Qi, the company's newly hired young director, held up a stack of papers, his face flushing red. "Why is your crew occupying our space?!"
The man in the baseball cap, apparently the assistant director of the other crew, curled his lips in disdain. "Why do you say that? Because in this business, it's first come, first served. We've got all the equipment set up. Are we going to make way for your little web series?"
"What happened to the web drama?!"
Chen Qi's voice changed tone. "We also officially launched the project. Besides, we approved this site long ago. You..."
"Alright, alright."
Baseball Cap interrupted him: "I've made it very clear. There are only two options now. Either you change the location, or you wait for us to finish filming. It probably won't take long, another three or four hours."
"you!"
Xu Fangli had already strode over.
Zhou Yufan also frowned, raised his feet and slowly followed, his eyes becoming colder as he got closer.
"What's going on?"
Xu Fangli's voice was not loud, but it instantly quieted the noisy scene.
Although Chen Qi and his friends had just arrived, they had met Fang Li and Zhou Yufan.
The two bosses of their own company came, and they immediately surrounded them as if they saw a savior.
"Mr. Xu!"
A young man named Chen Qi was almost crying. "They have occupied our venue for three hours and won't let us go no matter what we say..."
The man in the baseball cap looked Xu Fangli up and down, obviously not recognizing her. "Miss, we haven't finished shooting this location yet. Although we're catching up, we still have to trouble you..."
"Is it our responsibility that we didn't finish filming?"
"ah?"
Fang Li immediately raised her foot and stood in front of the baseball cap. "I don't care whether you've finished filming or not. I only know that we own this venue from 3:00 PM today to 8:00 AM tomorrow. Even if you haven't finished filming, you should vacate the space on time!"
Baseball Cap's expression changed, but he quickly regained his arrogance: "What if we don't move?"
He glanced at them meaningfully and said with a smile, "Do you know which crew is filming in there? How dare you offend the crews of Yaoxing Film and Yu's Jewelry? You don't want to stay in this industry anymore!"
"Oh, it's the famous Yaoxing Media!"
Zhou Yufan suddenly interrupted, lazily coming over with his hands in his pockets: "What a coincidence, I know Yaoxing."
He pulled out his phone and said, "I didn't expect that Yaoxing, a major company in the industry, would actually break the rules and occupy other people's venues. I'm going to call your CEO Sheng right now and ask her if this was her intention. If it was, I'll have to find another way to resolve it."
Fang Li sneered, "Chen Qi, set up the camera. If we can't film the scene, we must capture the wonderful performances of everyone in the Yaoxing crew."
Chen Qi glared at the other person fiercely and immediately said, "Yes."
Looking at the cameras pointed at him, Baseball Cap visibly flinched and quickly stopped Zhou Yufan.
"You two, why are you so persistent about such a small matter and even have to come to our President Sheng?"
He darted his eyes back and forth between Zhou Yufan and Fang Li, then asked with a smile, "Do you two really know our CEO Sheng? If so, you should be aware of our influence within the industry. We haven't finished filming yet, and we'll be leaving immediately after. Please, for the sake of traveling together, please give us some leeway."
Fang Li smiled coldly.
Too lazy to argue with a small fry, she simply lifted the barrier and walked towards the center of the filming crew: "Everyone, listen up, this location is now our crew's use. You have ten minutes to pack up your equipment and evacuate, otherwise our company will pursue legal action!"
The actors' newly brewing emotions were interrupted, and filming was forced to stop. The director, who was sitting in the tent, immediately stood up angrily: "What's going on! Stage staff! Stage staff! Who is this person who was supposed to clear the set? Get him out now!"
