The Era of Masculinity: Ambiguous Getting Fired

Chapter 41 unspoken rules

The moment he opened the door, Ruofei felt a little disappointed.The director in front of him is not what he had imagined.At least not like the director Ruobu saw on TV or the Internet, with long hair fluttering or a beard, or a face full of "ditches" like Lao Mouzi, who feels vicissitudes, no matter how bad he is, he has to put a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, but This guy with small eyes, swollen nose, slightly collapsed nose, dry yellow skin and the nickname "Director" not only does not show the slightest bit of artistic temperament, but makes people feel very wretched.

The so-called director had a serious face, seeing Ruofei forced a smile, but then the smile disappeared without a trace.He let Ruofei into the room, and then introduced Ruofei blankly: "My surname is Wu, I'm Wutian Wu."

"Hello Wu...Director Wu, my name is Ruofei...no, my real name is Li Xiaodong." Ruofei introduced his name solemnly.In order to express his sincerity to Director Wu, if he hadn't reported the real name that he was about to forget.

"En." Director Wu nodded and stopped talking, but looked at Ruofei from head to toe.

Being looked up and down by a pair of knife-like eyes, Ruofei couldn't help but feel nervous.I thought that director Wu looked at himself up and down like this, maybe he was thinking about which role to play with his image.Or thinking about how to take a good-looking image of yourself...

When Ruofei was thinking wildly, a word suddenly came out of Director Wu's mouth, which made Ruofei's nervous and excited heart suddenly cool down.

"I heard that you can find investment and sponsorship?" Director Wu asked Ruobu suddenly after looking at it for a long time.

"What? What resources? What sponsorship? I never said that." Ruobu asked inexplicably.

"I heard from a young actor named Ke'er in our crew that you have a good relationship with a real estate tycoon, can you help us get sponsorship?" Director Wu asked again.

"Ke'er? She's in your crew?" If it wasn't for dreaming, he would never have thought that the news about Ke'er that he had tried everything possible to inquire about would suddenly appear without warning.

"What crew are you? What role does Ke'er play in it?" Ruofei asked excitedly.

"Ke'er just plays an inconspicuous role in our play," Director Wu added, looking at Ruofei meaningfully after speaking, "But this little girl named Ke'er is very hardworking, motivated and flattering. people like..."

"Where is Ke'er now? Are you still on your set?" Ruo Fei asked eagerly.

"For now...for the time being."

"What does it mean to be there temporarily? Could it be that she won't be there soon?" If she hadn't been a little anxious, she finally found out about Ke'er. How frustrating it would be if Ke'er left after she went to the production team.

"Let's not talk about Ke'er's affairs right now, they are all trivial matters after all." Director Wu mused while crossing his arms on his chest.

trifle?Is there any other big thing?If he didn't look at the director in front of him suspiciously, he wouldn't be able to figure out what the purpose of this director surnamed Wu is for him at this time.

If it weren't for random guessing in my heart.If you want to choose a role and an actor, why don't you talk to yourself directly about the script and the role, instead you have to go around in circles and ask about things between yourself and Zi Han.Could it be that Ke'er said something to Director Wu?

So if he didn't stop talking altogether, he wanted to see what the director surnamed Wu had to say.

"That's right." Director Wu tilted his head and stretched out his right index finger to dig his right ear, and then said slowly: "Our crew is currently encountering a little problem. The original sponsor has withdrawn, and the producer can't find it for the time being." Money... so we have no money to film now, so we stopped filming."

There are so many actors involved in a crew, and the filming of the show has stopped, so it is called a problem? !Fortunately, Director Wu can say it out loud, so what's the difference between being laid off and being unemployed.

Ruofei asked in surprise with his mouth wide open: "How could this happen? How can the sponsor withdraw so casually?"

"This is not a rare thing. In fact, many production crews have encountered this situation." Director Wu said with a bit of embarrassment: "The sponsor has also encountered some troubles, such as the global financial crisis..."

"Then you... You didn't come to me to let me act, what do you mean?" Ruofei was a little anxious seeing Director Wu's hesitation, so he asked directly.

"Although we have filmed less than half of this TV series, as a director, I don't want to give up halfway like this. I don't want my hard work to go to waste, you know?" Director Wu became a little emotional, "So we mobilized all the crew The staff brainstormed ways to get sponsors, and planned to stick to the filming of this film... Keer told us that you can help raise money, and that you have always wanted to act, so today I came to find your purpose, First, I want you to help raise money, and second, I want to give you a role. Of course, the size of the role depends on how much money you raise. If the money you raise can support the entire show After the filming is over, the role we arranged for you may become the number one male..."

"I'm playing the male lead? Then what did the former male lead play?" Ruo Fei felt that this matter was too unreliable.How can a crew change the leading actor casually when they are shooting a TV series?

"As long as you can get money, we can change the script, and the plot can be completely subverted." Director Wu said disapprovingly.

No wonder the previous sponsor wanted to withdraw their capital. Such an unscrupulous crew and such an unscrupulous director can produce any good-looking TV works.This is very different from the film and television crew that Ruo had imagined before. When choosing actors, there are thousands of choices and excellence, but the characters in the script can be changed casually. It is too loose to shoot TV.

"But I...I," Ruofei thought for a while and said, "If you guys ask me to act, I would like to do it. No matter what kind of role I am willing to try, but if I raise money... I may not be able to do it."

"Isn't your real estate tycoon friend very rich? Have a good talk with him, maybe he is willing to do such a thing for you? Didn't he hold a dance competition for you before? Tell him We can place advertisements for his company, and we can win and win together..." Director Wu was afraid that if he didn't refuse, he said like a cannonball.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't do it." Ruofei shook his head and said, "Besides, don't you see that TV, network, radio and magazines are promoting real estate control policies everywhere now? The real estate business is not profitable at all now. Even if If my friend wants to help me, he must have money..."

"Kerr, that girl promised me that you can do it." Director Wu sighed, and said to Ruofei unwillingly: "Actually, many real estate owners have money in their hands, but under this policy, they are all It’s all about crying for the country. Maybe your friend wants to take the opportunity to change careers, but that’s not necessarily the case. So you should try to do his job. How do you know if you don’t try some things.”
