The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 497 Principles
"what happened?"

Lu Yuan and his two companions arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, followed by several backbone members of the lighting team, each of them with strong and sturdy build.

When in a foreign country, one must be careful, even if he is strong and the other side only has a few girls.

Because the Thai government allows civilians to own guns.

Citizens who are 20 years of age or older and meet the requirements can apply to the relevant department. After assessment and approval, they can obtain a gun license and purchase guns at a gun store.

Although it is not exaggerated to the point where there are gun battles every day, the potential danger cannot be ignored.

In the lobby, nine tall girls were stopped by security guards, and the hotel lobby manager and Chen Zhixi negotiated with them in English.

During the shoving and pushing, one of them noticed Lu Yuan who had just walked out of the elevator and shouted in broken Chinese: "Lu Yuan."

At first glance, they look like fanatical fans in China.

Lu Yuan was surprised by this and was a little confused about the situation, but he still smiled politely.

"Boss." Wu Lang came over and explained, "They said the crew had promised that the two female roles for today's scene would be chosen from among them, but they heard that the roles had been given to other people, so they came to us to ask for an explanation."

"Has the crew promised them?" Lu Yuan asked.

"No."

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

Wu Lang's voice was firm: "I just checked the records, and these people didn't even participate in the interview."

Lu Yuan hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Those two actresses in the dressing room were recommended by Supara, right?"

"Yes."

"What about others?"

"I just contacted him and he said he's on the way and will be here soon."

"Did he give any explanation?" Lu Yuan asked as he walked towards the security guard's location.

Wu Lang replied: "He told us not to worry and said he would handle it properly. He also said that these people are habitual offenders who are trying to extort money or get a few shots by taking advantage of the foreign crew's unfamiliarity with the local area."

Lu Yuan frowned even tighter.

Filming abroad is different from filming in China. The people and the place are unfamiliar, and you have to rely on the co-filming company for many things.

But everyone knows the nature of the co-production company. After being in the industry for many years, he has vaguely guessed the truth of the whole matter.

There is nothing new in the world, except the three words "unspoken rules".

"Old Xu, what do you think?" He turned his head and looked to the side.

Xu Zheng held his chin with his right hand and said, "Let's call the electrician inspector first. If there is any trouble later, at least there will be someone to testify. Supara has shifty eyes and I don't think he is a good person."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement. Wu Lang planned to arrange someone to invite him, but after thinking about it, he decided to go there himself.

"Teacher Lu, Lao Xu." Chen Zhixi greeted them and said, "I have found out that these nine people who perform in a nearby nightclub are all transgender people. Supara used the opportunity of two roles to induce them to have sex with him, and then they put on their pants and denied it afterwards."

"Become a transgender?" Wang Baoqiang widened his eyes, stared at the nine graceful figures, and swallowed.

"That's right." Chen Zhixi confirmed, and added: "All nine."

Wang Baoqiang reasonably suspected: "Did Supara turn against them after she knew their real gender?"

"No, the nine of them said that Supara likes transgenders. All the young transgenders around here know it, and the two actresses he recommended to us are actually transgenders."

"Wow, you have a good appetite." Wang Baoqiang was convinced. What kind of people are these?

There is no water to be pumped out of the well. Even if some water is poured into it, it cannot be brought up. It becomes dry again in a short time. What should I do?

Oh, he forgot, he could change the place.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how can you eat this? It makes me sick just thinking about it." Xu Zheng pushed the frame of his glasses to show his agreement.

"So what should we do next?" Wang Baoqiang asked.

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Don't jump to conclusions yet, let's see what the two sides say after they meet."

"Okay." Everyone agreed.

"Let's go to another place. People are coming in and out, and the hotel manager is crying."

The group came to the meeting room arranged by the hotel and waited for about ten minutes.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open.

The nine transgender people suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at the figure at the door.

"Supala!!"

As soon as Supala stepped forward with his right leg, he reflexively shrank back.

Then he touched his head and looked around in confusion, as if looking for the source of the sound.

When his eyes met those nine people, he nodded calmly, walked up to Lu Yuan and Xu Zheng, and said in English: "I've heard of this group of people. They are on the company's blacklist and are repeat offenders. Leave it to me to deal with them."

Lu Yuan watched coldly, already knowing the trick in his heart. That exaggerated acting couldn't even reach the standard of an idol drama, let alone fool him.

Supara faced the nine people, kept a safe distance, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Supara, you lied to us." The tallest transgender among the nine people glared at him.

Supara raised her chin and pretended not to know: "Who are you? I have never seen you, how can I say you are deceiving me?"

The tallest transgender man continued to denounce: "That night, you found us and asked us if we wanted to act. You said there was a role for a play and the male lead was the most popular male actor in China. You also promised to select two of the nine of us who made you most comfortable to join the crew."

"Nonsense, slander, you are slandering!" Supala's eyelids jumped. He never expected that these nine people would actually dare to find the crew to cause trouble.

In the end, he underestimated the greed of human nature, Lu Yuan's appeal in the country, and these nine people's desire for fame.

When they returned home at night, they carefully learned about Lu Yuan's achievements since his debut. They knew that all the works he had filmed since he became famous, whether on the small screen or the big screen, had been a big hit, which made them more determined in their inner thoughts.

They even went on platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, and were amazed by the tens of millions of followers Lu Yuan had on Weibo.

The total population of Thailand is less than 70 million.

Therefore, even though they knew their chances of getting a role were slim, they decided to take the risk and try to make it onto China's entertainment news through this move, even if it was only for a short time.

Find wealth in danger!
Facing the accusations of several people, Supara said calmly: "I have never made any promises to you. I only signed contracts with Salia and Lemur. If you insist, please produce your contracts as evidence."

Salia and Lemuel are the two actresses in the next scene.

"You are shameless."

"You are a beast, a scum."

Supala curled his lips and ignored their insults. In his eyes, these transsexuals were extremely stupid, just like cows.

In Thailand, the cow represents stupidity, eating little, working a lot, and having no wisdom, which is very different from the Chinese connotation of hard work and dedication.

"We have evidence. This is part of the video from that night!" A petite transgender woman with twin ponytails snorted angrily, holding up a pink USB flash drive in her hand. "What video? Let me see it." Supara's face changed and she was about to step forward.

Chen Zhixi rushed forward, snatched it away, and glared at him with disgust.

The reason why she chose to switch careers and become a producer was partly because she had encountered similar unspoken rules.

That year, when she was filming on the set, a fat and big-eared investor frequently showed his favor to her and gave her gifts.

Because they were not familiar with each other and the other party's appearance did not meet her aesthetic standards, Chen Zhixi ignored him and declined all the gifts.

Unexpectedly, the role she had already signed the contract for was forcibly replaced, and she was demoted from the protagonist to a supporting role.

She comes from a wealthy family and became an actress just out of interest. She didn't say much and chose to quit the show. Because of her strong personality, she turned to the production industry.

Chen Zhixi held the USB drive tightly in his hand, feeling indignant. The constraints abroad were too great and many of the tactics he used could not be used. If he were in China, he would definitely expel Supala from the crew.

Her eyes moved between Lu Yuan and the others. After hesitating for a moment, she handed the USB flash drive in her hand to Wu Lang.

"Producer Wu, thank you for your hard work."

"Alas." Wu Lang sighed, took it helplessly, and said in embarrassment: "Okay."

When turning around, Lu Yuan noticed that this guy's pace was obviously faster than usual.

Less than ten seconds later, Xu Zheng coughed and rubbed his stomach: "I guess it's because the air conditioner was turned on too strong last night. My stomach has been uncomfortable since this morning. You guys continue, I'm going to the bathroom."

Not long after Xu Zheng left, Wang Baoqiang took out his cell phone and said, "I have to go out for a while. Old Xu forgot to bring some paper. Let me bring some to him."

Lu Yuan: "."

Chen Zhixi looked at the last person and smiled jokingly: "Teacher Lu, why don't you follow me and take a look?"

"I'm not as boring as them." Lu Yuan sat down on the sofa with a serious face.

Well, if he doesn’t see the email Wu Lang sent him after work at night, his bonus this month will be cut. No, his year-end bonus will be cut.

Although Supala didn't understand the conversation between the two, she had recovered from her initial panic and her heart was gradually calming down.

So what if you saw it? It's just a small matter. It has happened before.

About five minutes later, Wu Lang returned.

He first glanced at Supala with disdain, nodded to Chen Zhixi, and said in English: "Producer Chen, according to the content of the video, Supala did verbally agree to them."

Just as Chen Zhixi was about to speak, Supara suddenly became excited and argued, "I was just joking with them, but who knew they took it seriously."

The tall transsexual craned his neck forward and retorted in English: "That's not what you said when you told me to swallow it that night."

The girl with twin ponytails also stood up and described the situation that night in detail: "You sat on the sofa first, and then you let me **** and **** after us, but you promised to let me perform."

Lu Yuan: "."

Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang stood at the door: "."

Chen Zhixi's ears turned red with embarrassment.

Are you kidding me? Can you please pay attention to the occasion? Thai people are too straightforward and will say anything in public.

In the meeting room, everyone left one after another.

"What, you let me go?" Supala stared at the woman in front of him in amazement.

Chen Zhixi looked cold and said firmly, "Yes, please leave immediately. We will communicate with your company and find someone to take your place."

"Why? I can handle them. These are nothing. They won't affect the subsequent filming of the crew."

Chen Zhixi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered at his words: "I don't know what the crew you worked with before was like, but I tell you clearly that I don't like it, I really don't like it, and I won't allow this kind of thing to happen in my crew."

Past experiences have made her hate unspoken rules so much that she just shoots movies honestly, and the capable ones will be promoted while the mediocre ones will be demoted.

What's more, this person used the character as bait, and then pulled up his pants and turned away from the person afterwards, showing no sense of contract at all.

Therefore, after appeasing the nine transgender people, he decisively proposed to Lu Yuan that he hoped to replace Supala.

Lu Yuan only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to her request.

"I can do a lot for you, and you will still need my coordination later." Supala struggled, trying to save the situation.

At the same time, he also felt that he couldn't understand it. No matter which country's entertainment industry, unspoken rules are commonplace. It was just a polite act of going to bed. Both of us were willing. Why make a fuss?
"I'm sorry, I believe your company can find a candidate that satisfies us." Chen Zhixi remained unmoved and maintained a firm attitude.

Supara was furious and shouted: "I want to see your bald director."

"I'm the producer, I'll handle this matter."

"I want to see Lu Yuan."

Wu Lang sat on the sofa by the window, looked up and glanced at him, and answered casually in English: "The boss is busy filming and has no time to see you. If you have anything to say, just tell us directly."

Supara watched the two men singing the same tune, his chest rising and falling violently. He stretched out his index finger and tapped several times, threatening desperately: "I must remind you, this is Thailand."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Chen Zhixi's eyes. She had some concerns in her heart. It was best not to provoke the local tyrants if possible. They had a lot of disgusting tricks.

Wu Lang stood up suddenly, blocking the light from the window, and his shadow just covered Supala's bumpy face.

He opened his eyes slightly, without any fear, and asked in a resounding voice: "So what?"

Supala was half a head shorter than Wu Lang. He opened his mouth, but a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. He walked away in disgrace without even having time to utter a harsh word.

"boom!"

The door was slammed shut, as if venting his impotent rage.

Chen Zhixi let out a light breath. As a girl, it is inevitable that she is a little timid.

After a while, she said worriedly, "Producer Wu, what if..."

"It's okay." Wu Lang interrupted with a wave of his hand and consoled him: "Even if you didn't mention it to the boss, I would report the situation to Redina and replace Supara."

Chen Zhixi looked at him puzzledly.

It is not wise to rashly offend the local boss in a foreign country.

When she found Lu Yuan, she didn't actually have much hope in her heart, she just wanted to give it a try.

Because in her opinion, someone like Lu Yuan, who could become the top star in mainland TV dramas in just a few years, must be extremely smooth and rational.

However, Lu Yuan only thought about it for a moment and readily agreed to her request, which was beyond her expectations.

Wu Lang smiled and said, "Producer Chen, you don't know much about my boss. He was softly banned by Huayi because he couldn't stand the unspoken rules within the company. After the contract was terminated last year, he created his own studio.

He said at the first meeting that he had no right to interfere in other areas, but as long as a distant studio participated in the investment of the work, there would be absolutely no hidden rules. We only use the most suitable actors, the most suitable filming team, and the most suitable partners. "

"So you can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixi nodded and admired Lu Yuan even more.

In the past, I simply thought that this guy had good acting skills, was handsome, and was low-key. I didn't expect that he was such a principled person.
