After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 728 See who has the last laugh

In the afternoon, things further fermented, and the chief photographer and lighting engineer originally confirmed by the crew resigned.

These two crew members were considered temporary employment relationships, so it was reasonable for them to resign under pressure from Qitian Media.

They all participated in the filming of "Sapphire Case". Originally, the two parties had cooperated once and had a good cooperation. Of course, they wanted to continue the cooperation for the second time.

Now that they are laying down the burden, it will of course have a direct impact on the crew's subsequent filming. It is really difficult to find a suitable person to replace them.

Even if it is found, it will have to be adjusted again in the early stage of filming, which will definitely affect the filming progress of the crew.

This made Wu Mengting a little anxious, and she immediately contacted the other main staff members who had been confirmed one by one.

The director is still Cheng Linzhuang, he is the director of "The Jade Case" and also the director of "Heshan Order". With these two popular dramas as the background, he is now undoubtedly a first-line director of domestic TV dramas.

Feng Mang Film and Television gave him a very good treatment. "Heshan Order" gave him a big red envelope, and "Sapphire Case" also gave him a bonus.

In addition, he had already signed a long-term contract with Feng Mang Film and Television before filming "The Jade Case". If he wanted to resign or terminate the contract, he would pay a high price.

Therefore, even though he also received some pressure from Qitian Media, he could only stand on the side of Fengmang Film and Television.

The director Cheng Linzhuang is relatively safe and unlikely to leave his job. In addition, the makeup artist, prop artist, and artist are also contracted employees of Fengmang Film and Television, and are also bound by the contract.

Coupled with the fact that their presence in the crew is far lower than that of filming, Qitian Media did not specifically exert any pressure on them.

Therefore, after Wu Mengting contacted them one by one by phone, their mentality was not bad. After knowing that Wu Mengting was going to continue the filming of "Meeting You Again", they didn't say anything.

Only Cheng Linzhuang was slightly worried that the filming permit would not be issued, Wu Mengting imitated Chen Feng's tone, telling him not to worry, the company will properly resolve it.

After the staff of the crew finished comforting her, Wu Mengting called the second female candidate she had previously chosen.

The second female lead has just turned 30 this year, but she is well maintained and can play the role of the second female lead in the play in her teens to twenties.

What's more, her acting skills are very good, she can be regarded as capable, and she looks more charming, which fits the personality of the second female lead.

Previously, this agent came here to do public relations with materials. Wu Mengting promised to give her an audition, and then this person came to audition immediately, and the results were very good. Wu Mengting appointed her as the second female lead on the spot.

The other party was quite pleasantly surprised at the time, thanked him again and again, and said a lot of beautiful words.

But now, Wu Mengting called, and after hesitating for a while, the other party finally said that she would resign from "Meeting You Again". Although she apologized repeatedly, Wu Mengting was still very angry, and hung up before she finished speaking. Cut off the phone.

The female duo had to be re-selected, and Yang Ziying's original heroine would basically have to be re-selected.

Wu Mengting was not too surprised because she was mentally prepared for this, but she was still a little angry.

In addition, the candidates for the roles of the male lead and the second male lead are still to be determined, so there is no need to be too impatient.

After making a round of phone calls, Wu Mengting was even more dissatisfied with Qitian Media.

It's really a villain's behavior to make a stumbling block for their edge film and television.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, as Wu Mengting expected, Yang Ziying finally called her to apologize.

"Meng Ting, I'm really sorry. I really, really like the script you wrote for me. I've been memorizing the lines these days, and I've already memorized them by heart. But... Qitian Media is really too much. Overbearing, they directly put pressure on my company, and even found someone to give me a message to let me resign from this TV series, otherwise they will ruin several of my commercial endorsements, and they will suppress me in disguise and block me.

I am very reluctant to resign, I know this drama is tailor-made for me, if it is filmed, I believe it will be no worse than the current "Sapphire Case", and it may even be better and more sensational.

Oh, I can't help it, I really can't.Qitian Media is very powerful, my company can't afford to provoke them, and I can't afford to provoke them even more.well! "

Yang Ziying's tone was very helpless and depressed, but also faintly tired and sad.

It really hurts her to miss this drama.

"I understand, I respect your choice." Wu Mengting responded calmly.

Yang Ziying said guiltily, "Meng Ting, I'm really sorry for making you waste all your hard work."

Wu Mengting still said calmly: "This hard work is not in vain. If you don't act, I will find someone else to act."

When Yang Ziying heard her words, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She really likes this drama so much. The heroine in it is tailor-made for her. Most of the heroine's personality is very similar to her, including her height and appearance. in this way.

These days, she holds the script and reads it every day, and she has memorized the lines by heart. She has already integrated her energy into this role little by little.

Letting her give up the heroine role now is tantamount to cutting her flesh, which is really painful.

Yang Ziying couldn't help but said: "Mengting, why don't you temporarily suspend this project, and I'll help you communicate with Qitian Media so that you can reach a settlement with Qitian Media as soon as possible. After you settle, we will When the project is restarted, I can still continue to participate in the show."

Wu Mengting's tone turned cold and said: "It's impossible for us to reconcile with Qitian Media. They bully people too much. They want to take a stake in our Fengmang Film and Television outrageously. If they don't give us a stake, they will do this kind of dirty trick to us. It's very despicable and shameless."

Yang Ziying smiled wryly and said, "I heard that Qitian Media is very sincere in cooperating with you, and they even proposed a stock exchange, exchanging 5% of Qitian Media's shares for 40% of your Fengmang Film and Television's shares. Speaking of which, you’re not at a disadvantage.”

Wu Mengting frowned and said, "Are you a lobbyist for Qitian Media?"

"No! How is this possible? In my heart, Qitian Media is also very upset and angry, but the situation is stronger than others. They have arrogant capital and confidence."

"They are powerful, but we are not easy to bully. Just wait and see who has the last laugh." Wu Mengting said with some teeth gnashing.

"What? Do you have any countermeasures?" Yang Ziying said with some surprise, "If you have any, use them quickly, so that I might be able to continue to cooperate with you."

Wu Mengting's voice turned cold and said: "Since you have resigned, there is no possibility for us to cooperate again. I will start to choose another suitable actor to play the heroine later."

Hearing this, Yang Ziying couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, and pleaded slightly: "Mengting, can you keep this role for me for a few more days? I'll work harder and see if I can be persuaded." The company and Qitian Media."

After hesitating for a while, Wu Mengting sighed and said: "Well, my side will openly recruit candidates for the heroine tomorrow. You still have a chance until the heroine is selected. But when we choose It's settled, after signing the contract, there will be nothing to do with you."

Yang Ziying quickly asked: "Then how long do you think it will take to choose the right candidate?"

"This is not necessarily. It may be selected tomorrow, but it may take several days or even longer."

"Okay, I get it, I'll work harder in our company. In fact, I'm trying not to have a few endorsements, and I'm willing to act in this drama, but my company can't handle it."

"It's up to you and your company to judge by yourself. Of course it's best for me to continue to cooperate with you. If I can't cooperate, I can understand your difficulties."

"Thank you."

"Okay, let's talk about this first."

Wu Mengting took the initiative to end the call.She still intends to give the other party a chance, not because she was once a fan of Yang Ziying, but because it is the best choice for this drama to have Yang Ziying as the heroine.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Yang Ziying shook her head helplessly, looked at the manager Hao Xiaolian sitting opposite, and said with a bad expression: "Can't the company help me withstand the pressure from Qitian Media? If the company If you can’t protect me from wind and rain, what’s the use of me signing with this company? It’s better to sign with Qitian Media directly.”

Hao Xiaolian could only persuade with a wry smile: "You should also understand the strength and relationships behind Qitian Media. How many resources Zheng Jingjing stole from you back then, can we get them back? We can't. They just have a stronger background than you. Stronger than you, what can I do?"

Yang Ziying said angrily: "It's fine if you don't talk about it, but I'll be even angrier if you talk about it. Why can they do whatever they want and bully the market?"

Hao Xiaolian said angrily: "I just said that they have strong connections and strong backgrounds, and we can't beat them."

Yang Ziying was speechless immediately and could only sulk.

After a while, he said angrily: "Can't the company help me resist the pressure and let me continue to cooperate with Fengmang Film and Television and continue to shoot this movie?"

Hao Xiaolian persuaded: "Several major shareholders of our company have other businesses, and Qitian Media has a wide network of contacts. If they deliberately make trouble, it will be difficult for these shareholders to do other businesses. In addition, Qitian Media The notoriety is full of circles, not only our company dare not offend, but also other bigger companies."

Yang Ziying was not convinced: "Didn't Fengmang Film and Television ignore them and be tough with them?"

Hao Xiaolian shook her head and said: "Fengmang Film and Television and their boss Chen Feng are stunned. Chen Feng may think that his background relationship is strong enough, so he has no fear, and thinks that he can be tough with Qitian Media. But in my opinion, his The so-called background relationship is not enough. Since Qitian Media dares to attack his company, it means that they are not afraid of him."

Yang Ziying dissatisfied and said: "Since Chen Feng chose to be tough with Qitian Media, it also shows that he is not afraid of the other party. The annoying Fan Xin before, his uncle is so awesome, and Chen Feng didn't do it in the end?"

Hao Xiaolian shook her head and said: "It was said at the time, but outsiders like us don't know the details. It may not be true, or it may be a coincidence. Otherwise, how dare Qitian Media attack him? Of course, it is also possible that Qitian Media is behind the scenes. His relationship and background are bigger than Chen Feng's."

"Damn it!" Yang Ziying thumped the pillow with her hand angrily, "It's not too early or too late, but this is the time to focus on Edge Films and Television. This movie is so good, if I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Hao Xiaolian said helplessly: "There is nothing to do about it. This drama is good or bad, but if you really miss it, don't be sad and angry. Maybe the next one will be even better."

Yang Ziying asked back with a cold face: "Do you think this is possible? I have been in the industry for more than ten years, and good scripts are hard to come by. If you miss it, it may be a lifetime."

Hao Xiaolian could only smile wryly.

This afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui got off work normally.

Back at Villa No. [-], Sun Xiaorui went to the kitchen to warm up dishes, while Wu Mengting pulled Chen Feng to sit down in the living room, and then talked about what happened today.

After finishing speaking, Wu Mengting said with some distress: "The biggest problem now is the choice of heroine and heroine, which is directly related to the quality of this drama. In addition, it is the shooting license. I am really afraid that the other party will deliberately block us."

Chen Feng said with a smile: "The soldiers will block the water and cover them with earth. Although the opponent's methods have caused us some trouble, they are not very lethal. We can still deal with them calmly."

Wu Mengting frowned and asked, "Have you found someone to find a relationship with? You can't just be beaten passively and let the other party yell at us, right?"

Chen Feng smiled confidently: "I found it, don't worry, the other party should be punished soon."

"Really?" Wu Mengting looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Feng smiled mysteriously: "Just wait and see."

"Okay, then I'll wait to see how the other party is punished."

In fact, Chen Feng felt a little lost in his heart at this time.Because things have been going on for almost a day, and there seems to be no movement from God, but Qitian Media's methods are one after another.

If there is no movement tomorrow, Qitian Media is likely to make further stumbling blocks and even upgrade their methods.

Today's, for them, is probably just an appetizer.

The purpose is probably just to test Fengmang Film and Television and Chen Feng first. If Chen Feng doesn't react too much, the other party will naturally intensify, and some unspeakable means may be used.

Things were exactly as Chen Feng had guessed and worried about.

As the titular boss of Qitian Media, Han Xiaoshuang personally organized and launched this stumbling operation against Fengmang Film and Television today.

The feedback results are quite good, basically achieving the purpose of stumbling and probing.

The first is to isolate Fengmang Film and Television in the circle, let investors withdraw their capital, and make actors and entertainers afraid to cooperate with Fengmang Film and Television.

Secondly, to test the reactions of Fengmang Film and Television and Chen Feng.

As a result, a day passed and there was no response.

The fly in the ointment is that Qitian Media used its connections to pass on a message to the film and television review department in Donghai Province, asking them to deliberately block the filming license of "Meeting You Again".

In the end, the other side stubbornly pushed back, saying that they would not interfere with the normal work order in their place.

This made the person who helped deliver the message very embarrassing, and even Qitian Media felt ashamed.

This might be Chen Feng's only counterattack against them, but it was not initiated by him, and it was obviously very slight, with no deterrent effect, let alone shock.

From Han Xiaoshuang's point of view, even if the review department in the East China Sea covers up Fengmang Film and Television, it is only temporary, like a mantis holding a cart.

One level of official rank crushes people to death, not to mention those who are several ranks older.
