I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 202: Speak up and clear your name

"I will let Wu Yusen apologize to everyone for this incident, but I also ask everyone to finish the play. After all, the movie is almost finished. If we don't play it now, the loss to the crew will be too great."

Han Sanping said this, and Hu Jun and others did not dare not give him face.

"Director Han, as long as Wu Yusen apologizes, I am still willing to abide by the contract and actor ethics and finish the show."

"As long as Wu Yusen apologizes, I can act."

,,,

,,,

,,,

After all the responses stopped, Han Sanping said, "Don't worry, I will ask Wu Yusen to apologize, but I also hope that everyone will not reveal what happened today."

"Director Han, you can rest assured."

"This is not a glorious thing, and I will not disclose it to the outside world."

,,,

,,,

,,,

There was another burst of responses. After the sound stopped, Han Sanping turned his eyes to Wan Qingshan, Zhang Jin and Zeng Li who were silent.

"Qingshan, how about we talk somewhere else?"

"Okay, but Zhang Jin and Zeng Li have to come with me."

Han Sanping frowned, hesitated, and replied, "Okay, they can come together."

Then, Han Sanping asked Zhang Zong to arrange for Hu Jun and others. He, Wu Kebo, and Wan Qingshan went to a small room nearby.

After everyone sat down, Han Sanping was the first to speak,
"Qingshan, do you think Zeng Li will lose her identity by being Lin Zhiling's match?"

"Dr. Han, don't use the excuse that actors shouldn't care about the size of the role or that roles shouldn't be based on fame.

If you had agreed with Zeng Li before the performance that you were only the second female lead, and she agreed to appear, then I wouldn’t be qualified to say anything.

But now you have told Zeng Li before that she is one of the two female leads, and now you have made her the second female lead.

Then I have to tell you that the people in my company have been bullied to this extent. Director Han and Mr. Wu, you think I, Wan Qingshan, is easy to bully, right? "

Wu Kebo glanced at Han Sanping, who was silent, and said with a smile, "Director Wan, where are you talking about? I have always said that Zeng Li is one of the two leading ladies."

"Yes, you, Mr. Wu, have told the public, but that was before. Before I came to the set, you had already discussed with Wu Yusen that Zeng Li should be ranked as the second female lead."

Seeing that Han Sanping and Wu Kebo didn't say anything, Wan Qingshan laughed angrily.

"Director Han, Mr. Wu, I don't know how you were managed by Wu Yusen. But we are all from the mainland. Instead of helping mainland actors, you helped Wu Yusen use Zeng Li to promote a host. What you did is spread. , and he is not afraid of chilling the hearts of mainland actors.

Haha, in the past few years, mainland actors have been taken advantage of by artists from Hong Kong and Bay Area. I think it’s not the actors who don’t live up to expectations, but it’s you people who are biased.

Don't talk about the popularity of celebrities from Hong Kong Island and Wanwan. Is Zeng Li's popularity comparable to that of any other host? "

Han Sanping frowned and said in a deep voice, "Qingshan, don't choose the actors one by one and choose the actors from the Mainland. We are all Chinese actors, don't be so divided."

"Director Han, you should first tell Wu Yusen and the crew of "Red Cliff" about this. I just told Director Zhang that I would talk to you about this matter later. The crew members passing by dared to laugh at me, mainland boy. !”

Han Sanping's face immediately darkened. He rarely came to the set, and he didn't know that the Hong Kong crew of "Red Cliff" was so arrogant. If a staff member dared to mock Wan Qingshan as a mainlander, then they also had to mock him as a mainlander in private. .

"Qingshan, I will give you an explanation for this matter, but I hope that Zeng Li and Zhang Jin can still finish the play. The investment of hundreds of millions is almost completed. We can't change the actors and reshoot because of this matter. The loss will be huge." It’s just too big.”

"Before you, Mr. Han, came, I discussed it with Zeng Li. It's okay to continue acting, but you have to fulfill what you promised before. You are a double female lead. You are a double female lead. I don't want to see Wu Yusen face The media only reports that Lin Chiling is the female lead."

Han Sanping turned to look at Wu Kebo and replied, "I can guarantee this."

"That's no problem. Zeng Li can still play the role. By the way, in order to prevent accidents, I will let a bodyguard stay on the set."

Han Sanping frowned, thought for a while, and agreed.

Then, everyone got up and left the room. As for Zhang Jin, Han Sanping learned from Zhang Zong that Zhang Jin was advancing and retreating with Wan Qingshan, so there was no need to talk about it.

When he reached the door, Wan Qingshan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wu Kebo.

"Mr. Wu, please don't do anything wrong. We agreed, but when the play was over, Wu Yusen changed his mind.

If Wu Yusen later says that Zeng Li is the second female lead, and the movie's posters, stills, and cast subtitles all rank Zeng Li as the second female lead, then don't blame me for asking Aoyama Cinema to cancel "Red Cliff" 》shooting rate and move all showing times to the morning.

Although our Qingshan Cinema Chain is still a small cinema chain now, I have already purchased Jiahe Cinema Chain. By the time "Red Cliff" is released, our Qingshan Cinema Chain will have developed into a medium-sized cinema chain. By then, if you don't count on your words, Then don't blame me for being dishonest. "

Wu Kebo's face changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with a trace of regret.

He didn't regret it because of Wan Qingshan's threat. As long as Wan Qingshan didn't cause trouble, he would persuade Han Sanping to join forces to suppress Zeng Li even if he wanted the title of the only female number one, let alone one of the double number one. Wu Yusen and Yang Shoucheng made Zeng Li the only female lead, so he didn't even think about causing trouble later.

He regretted it because Wan Qingshan's words made him realize that Chengtian's development path was wrong. What kind of artist business and what kind of film and television city was it? It should learn from Wan Qingshan and develop a theater chain.

When Wan Qingshan started a theater chain, he thought Wan Qingshan was stupid. He had too much money and no place to spend it, so he decided to start a theater chain. Now it seems that he was stupid.

As long as you have the theater chain in hand, after it develops and grows, why do you need to find a big director? If you don't invest in your movie, I will cut off your film schedule to see if you will invest in it for me?
Wu Kebo regretted it very much, and Han Sanping's expression changed drastically.

"Qingshan, you can't do this kind of thing. If you do this, it will make other theater chains follow suit. At that time, either the theater chain and the production company will be in conflict, or the theater chain will take the opportunity to enter film production.

This will have a devastating blow to the current film production industry. "

"Director Han, whether it is a blow or a help to the film production industry to a higher level is uncertain.

Besides, I didn’t say I would definitely do this. If the crew of “Red Cliff” doesn’t go back on their word, I won’t cause trouble later. "

Han Sanping looked deeply at Wanqing Mountain and said, "If someone really goes back on his word, I will take action without you. If anyone goes back on his word, then don't even think about filming in the mainland."

"If you say this, Director Han, then I will feel relieved."

After Wan Qingshan and his party came out, Han Sanping and Wu Kebo called Wu Yusen to talk.

Under the watchful eyes of the crew, the three Wan Qingshan people came to the rest area and sat down.

"When will your play be finished?"

Zeng Li waved her assistant over. She picked up the shooting schedule from the assistant and looked at it.

"According to the plan, filming will be completed on May 20th."

"May 20th, it's about the same time. Qingshan Media Company has opened a new drama with an investment of [-] million. It has two female protagonists. Are you interested in acting in it?"

In order to support Zeng Li, Wan Qingshan did not deliberately lower his voice when talking to Zeng Li, so that everyone in the rest area could hear it.

Everyone's faces were full of envy. Wan Qingshan just handed over the leading actress to Zeng Li in a blockbuster with a [-] million investment.

Zeng Li thought for a while and replied, "Forget it. I told you before that filming in the past two years has been too tiring. I plan to rest peacefully this year after filming "Red Cliff"."

Wan Qingshan secretly glanced at the people who had pricked up their ears, and smiled, "Okay, anyway, you will also play the female lead in my new drama. "Red Cliff" plus my new movie, let alone one year's rest, two years' rest It won’t have much impact on your reputation.”

Zeng Li was a little confused. Wan Qingshan had already told her that the heroine in his new film only had a ten-minute scene. How could a ten-minute scene help her?
As soon as she had doubts, Zeng Li noticed that everyone around her was listening to their conversation, and she instantly understood what Wan Qingshan was thinking.

Zeng Li covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Okay, I'm on the set and I'm still in a position where everyone can bully me."

Wan Qingshan smiled, stretched out his head slightly and whispered, "If I make such a fuss, one person from Han Sanping and Wu Kebo will personally guard the set, and Wu Yusen will have to hold back his anger.

The previous incident shouldn't happen again. I'll leave if I have anything else to do. If you need anything, just call me. "

Zeng Li looked deeply at Wanqing Mountain and said, "I'm not a little girl, so I don't need you to take care of me like this.

However, you are leaving as soon as you arrive. Why don't you stay a little longer? I would like to invite you to dinner later. "

Wan Qingshan stood up and said, "I came here just to check on you and talk to you about the movie. Once the matter is resolved, I won't stay. I have other things to be busy with."

Zeng Li sighed secretly, stood up and said, "Then I'll give it to you, that's fine."

When Zeng Li was about to deliver Wan Qingshan to the door of the crew, Wan Qingshan told Zeng Li not to send him away.

What just happened must have caught the attention of a group of reporters outside. They didn't know what they would have to face after going out. It would be inconvenient for Zeng Li to go out with him.

As soon as Wan Qingshan walked out of the set, the reporters who had already surrounded the entrance of the set were like perverts seeing a beautiful woman, with their eyes shining.

"Director Wan, are you dissatisfied that mainland artists can only work with Hong Kong and Bay Area artists?"

When Wan Qingshan came out, he originally decided not to answer the reporter's questions, but after hearing this first question, Wan Qingshan had an idea and replied,

"We are all artists, why can mainland actors only play supporting roles?

In order to change this situation, our Qingshan Media Company is preparing a blockbuster film in which the male and female protagonists are all mainland actors.

In order to prove to the bosses of mainland film and television companies that the high box office of movies starring mainland actors is not a special case of my movies, I am not the director of this blockbuster.

I want to use this movie to prove to everyone that mainland actors are no worse than any other actors.
We also want to tell the bosses of film and television companies that it’s time to wake up, stop being superstitious about big-name stars, and take more care of mainland actors. "

Looking at Wan Qingshan who became more and more excited as he spoke, the reporters were full of surprise and spoke up like a fighter for the mainland actors. This should not be something Wan Qingshan can do.After being surprised, the reporters' eyes were clear. No matter how Wan Qingshan suddenly changed his style, this news was too explosive. The great director spoke out for the mainland actors and even produced a movie with an investment of [-] million. Clearing the names of mainland actors can cause a stir with just a casual report.

"Director Wan, which actors will you invite to star in this blockbuster, and who will be the director?"

"The actor and director have not yet been decided. I will carefully consider the candidates."

"Director Wan, if you want to clear up the names of mainland actors, are you worried about being said to look down on Hong Kong and Bay Area artists?"

"If a host can be looked down upon with our popular mainland female stars, who have invested hundreds of millions, then I hope that our mainland actors will also be looked down upon."

"Director Wan, except for "Ip Man", all of your previous movies featured mainland actors. Now you have produced a movie with an investment of [-] million to rectify the names of mainland actors. Do you have any concerns about Hong Kong Island and Hong Kong? Are the actors in Wanwan very dissatisfied?"

“I am not dissatisfied with the actors from Hong Kong Island and Bay Area, but with the bosses of mainland film and television companies. It is not the actors from Hong Kong Island and Bay Area that cause mainland actors to play supporting roles, but the bosses who funded them.

Dear journalist friends, you must report these few words of mine to prevent me from being accused of crimes that I cannot afford. "

"Director Wan, don't worry, I will definitely report it."

"Director Wan, I'm going to speak out for mainland actors and I will definitely report it."

"Director Wan, I will publish it online in a moment, so you don't have to worry."

,,,,
,,,,
,,,,
After a bunch of mixed responses, the questions started again.

"Director Wan, on the set of "Red Cliff" just now, because you were dissatisfied with Wu Yusen's casting Zeng Li as the second female lead, you refused to let Zeng Li continue to act.

Later, because of Wu Yusen's remarks, mainland actors went on strike. What do you think of this? "

"Ah, did something like this happen just now? I don't even know. I came to Zeng Li because I was going to invite her to star in the movie I just mentioned."

"Director Wan, aren't you being honest enough? We all promised you that we would report what you said. We've all heard about the "Red Cliff" crew, so don't hide it."

"I am not generous enough. You see, when I came, I brought you news, and when I was leaving, I brought you news again.

Before, I thought about you and asked you to unite all journalists. How could I be unjust? "

These words made it difficult for all the reporters to ask about things in the "Red Cliff" crew. Although Wan Qingshan's suggestion was nonsense, in the subsequent news, they also understood that Wan Qingshan was mutually beneficial to them, but when they first came here , and indeed sent them news.

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan answered a few questions from reporters and walked outside.

The reporter asked all the questions he was supposed to ask, so he let Wan Qingshan go.

When arriving at the airport, Wan Qingshan received a call from Han Sanping.

"Wan Qingshan, what are you trying to do? Do you know that if you pit mainland actors against actors from Hong Kong and Bay Area, no one can save you?"

Listening to Han Sanping's roaring voice on the phone, Wan Qingshan replied calmly,

"Director Han, I just told reporters that I am not dissatisfied with the actors in Hong Kong Island and the Bay Area. I am dissatisfied with the bosses of the film and television companies. As a result, mainland actors can only be used as supporting roles, not those in the Hong Kong Island and Bay Area. Actors, but the bosses of these investments.

Why, if I complain a few words to the media about my boss, will this also make me guilty of going above and beyond? "

After waiting for a while, Han Sanping's gentle voice came from the phone, "Qingshan, you said that, but everyone understands that you are dissatisfied with the artists in those two places."

“It’s one thing to understand it, but it’s another thing to put it on the table.

Everyone knows this kind of thing, so what?As long as I don't directly express my dissatisfaction with the artists from those two places, no one can do anything to me. "

After waiting for a while, Han Sanping sighed, "Qingshan, you should go into politics."

"Haha, Director Han, I didn't understand this before. I learned this from you.

Director Han, I think you are also very dissatisfied with Wu Yusen. Otherwise, if I make a fuss, you will suppress Wu Yusen. Normally, you should persuade me.

You must be in that position, and you cannot suppress Wu Yusen just because you are dissatisfied.But now that I am making such a fuss, Director Han will have an excuse to suppress Wu Yusen. "

"Haha, if you can learn secretly, that's also your skill. Since you have thought it through, I won't say more.

But I have to congratulate you. The way you promoted the movie was successful. The movie became popular before it was made. As long as the movie is not bad, the box office will definitely be high. "

"Director Han, I should be happy. Zhang Zhao is responsible for this movie. I told Zhang Zhao before that we would like to cooperate with China Film Group."

After waiting for a few seconds, Han Sanping's surprised voice came from the phone, "Haha, okay, then I'll wait for Zhang Zhao to contact me."

When Wan Qingshan got on the plane, the news that he had rectified the name of a mainland actor appeared on the Internet, and then it spread instantly.

There are those who support Wan Qingshan, and there are also netizens who think Hong Kong actors are superior to mainland actors because they have watched too many old Hong Kong movies. There are those who support Hong Kong artists, and there are also fans of other mainland actors who support Wan Qingshan.

Supportive and reactionary voices have been stirred up on the Internet, and at the same time, many netizens are full of curiosity about a movie that invested [-] million yuan just to clear the names of mainland actors.

When Wan Qingshan landed in Beijing, his cell phone already had several missed calls.

Wan Qingshan looked at it and called Chen Yumo.

"Qingshan, dad asked me to ask you, do you want to buy two villas here?"

Wan Qingshan, who thought he was asking for news, was very surprised. Then, he smiled and said,

"Why did dad ask me to buy a villa there? I'm busy all year round. How can I live there and buy two villas at once?"

"No, my dad said that he received news that the area near the villa will be developed next year. Now it only costs more than 100 million. Once it is developed, the price will definitely skyrocket."

A trace of doubt flashed in Wan Qingshan's eyes, "One building costs more than 100 million, and two buildings only cost more than 200 million. You can't call me because of something worth more than 200 million. Tell me, what is it?"

"Um, Qingshan, you are still smart, haha, um, am I not using your blog?
Well, well, because of the previous news, some fans of Hong Kong celebrities came to the blog to scold you. I was so angry, but when I replied, I replied with some words that may not be very good.

But I immediately deleted it later, but it was still seen by many netizens. "

Wan Qingshan immediately stopped, walked to the big pillar and asked in a low voice,
"What did you say back?"

"I'm going back. Which of the Hong Kong directors and artists you mentioned can beat me at the box office."

Wan Qingshan slapped his forehead suddenly, took a deep breath, and said, "That's all. It's okay. Don't worry, it won't have any impact on me."

"Does it really have no impact? Otherwise, I'd better give this blog back to you. I'm afraid I'll meet someone who scolds you again, and I can't help it."

"It's okay, you can just play with it. Okay, I have other things to do here, so I'll hang up first. As for the villa, you can buy it and I'll transfer the money later."

"Hey, no need. I've already bought the villa. I'll ask my dad to get the money."

"Since you bought it, that's all. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan walked out of the airport while thinking about how to minimize the impact of Chen Yumo's reply on the blog.

After getting into the car, before Wan Qingshan could think of a way, his cell phone rang.

When he saw that the call was from Zhang Zhao, Wan Qingshan put the blog matter behind him and answered the phone.

"Director Wan, Director Wan, your promotion is really quick. Director Wan, I guarantee that the box office of "Painted Skin" will exceed [-] million. If it does not break, I will not be sorry for your promotion, Director Wan. I will use my own money to increase the box office to [-] million. "

Listening to Zhang Zhao's excited voice on the phone, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes. In his original life, it was more than 2 million. Now he is promoting it like this. If you give back [-] million, then he didn't promote it in vain.

"Mr. Zhang, how can I ask you to pay out of your own pocket? How much is the box office of the movie?

Let me tell you about the actors first. As for Zeng Li, she wants to rest. You can go find Zhou Xun. "

"Director Wan, where is Miss Fan?"

"I'll go talk to her later, and I'll call you after we finish."

"Okay, Director Wan, I'll talk to Zhou Xun later."

"Now that I have kicked out the movie promotion, you should seize the time to prepare the movie and keep the popularity of the movie high. For online promotion and hype, you should contact Li Yancheng. He has a group of Internet trolls under his command."

"Haha, Director Wan, don't worry, you have given me such a good start, I won't screw it up."

"Mr. Zhang, let's do this for now. If anything happens, call us again."

,,,,,,
Wan Qingshan originally wanted to talk to Fan Bayi in person and talk about Fanfan Company, but after calling him, he learned that Fan Bayi was conducting business activities out of town.

Fan Bayi was not competing with anyone for the leading female role. Wan Qingshan couldn't run over and asked Fan Bayi on the phone if she was willing to star in "Painted Skin".

Whether it was because of the previous news, the [-] million investment, or because Wan Qingshan personally called to inquire, Fan Bayi agreed without thinking.

Later, Wan Qingshan called Zhang Zhao and told him that Fan Bayi agreed to star.

Then, Wan Qingshan received another call from Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan left most of the people in Jiahe Cinema Line. Now that Qingshan Cinema Line has people, it is short of money.

Wan Qingshan went to the bank to transfer 3000 million to Qingshan Cinema. Then, when he was about to go to Li Yancheng to see how the preparations for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" were going, he received a call from the General Administration.

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan frowned and asked Duan Tong to drive out of the headquarters.
