In Love
Chapter 76
The original owner hated Zhou Liming the most, the second was the assistant who betrayed him.
This assistant is a fellow and distant relative of the original owner.
The original owner himself came out of the mountains. After developing, he wanted to give back to his hometown. The first movie he made with an investment of 2 million was basically made by his fellow villagers. That movie has very few scenes. The filming was finished in just two months. At that time, the two leading actors were junior high school students he was looking for were on summer vacation. He gave each of them 3,000 yuan plus food and lodging, so the two of them did it.
The kidnappers were all played by the villagers or group performers, so he only gave them a few thousand yuan.
When the movie became popular, he started to form his own team. Most of them were people from his hometown. He also donated a lot of money to his hometown.
His assistant came to him at that time.
This person has a college degree, is good at work, and is a distant cousin, so the original owner trusts him very much.
As a result, this assistant, who the original owner trusted so much, urged the original owner to use drugs to stimulate inspiration and make the original owner try it.
The original owner was reluctant at first, so he secretly gave the original owner drugged biscuits.
The original owner went crazy after eating, then laughed happily. However, it cannot be denied that this really made the original owner, who was anxious, depressed and in a very bad state of mind, feel different.
This was the first time, then the original owner scolded the assistant and told him not to do it again, but the assistant did it again.
The original owner was still angry, but after that, he started to take the drugs given by his assistant.
Now, a full month has passed, the original owner has become addicted. He has taken more than just drugs.
Yan JingZe frowned and looked at the assistant: “Who told you to sit there?”
The assistant was taken aback: “Cousin, I didn’t expect you to come so early. I’m sitting here talking to Teacher Li.”
“Get out!” Yan Jing glared at the assistant.
The assistant looked a little embarrassed, but he quickly smiled: “Don’t be angry, cousin, I’ll leave right away.”
The screenwriter known as ‘Teacher Li’ saw it, and was a little dissatisfied: “Director Gu, why are you so angry!”
Screenwriter Li is a woman in her fifties.
She is a well-known screenwriter. She has written several TV dramas with high ratings before. Either the heroine has been wronged for love, like she was bullied by her mother-in-law without saying anything, enduring it silently, and in the end, she got a happy ending. Or the female lead likes the male lead but separates from the male lead because of misunderstanding that the male lead cheats, etc. and goes with the second male lead. Finally, she resolved the misunderstanding with the male lead.
Although she is in her fifties, screenwriter Li still feels that love is bigger than heaven.
Her TV series still has a lot of audiences. They were very popular in the early years, but now they are a bit behind the times.
Most importantly, neither the original owner nor Yan Jingze actually liked her works.
Yan Jingze has always felt that he should take the initiative to do things. Anyway, if he is the female lead that was bullied by his mother-in-law, he will definitely fight back. When the male lead and a female kiss, he will go up and give him a slap instead of covering his face, crying and running away.
As for the original owner…Although the original owner likes Zhao Yangui, the most important thing for him is his career.
People like them cannot accept scripts written by screenwriter Li.
“I’m angry, what does it have to do with you?” Yan Jingze looked at screenwriter Li.
In fact, the original owner had a lot of conflicts these days, whether it was with his assistant or with screenwriter Li.
He has a bad relationship with his assistant, and blames his assistant for causing him to become addicted to drugs.
While taking drugs from his assistant, he also quarreled with his assistant.
However, the original owner, who was quarreled and also lacked energy, still left many things to the assistant — he still felt that the assistant was his.
As for screenwriter Li, the original owner is actually not very satisfied with the script written by screenwriter Li, so the two sides have been having disputes.
Last night, Zhou Liming sent something related to the script to the original owner because the original owner didn’t want to accept this script.
In the previous life, Zhou Liming Zhou Liming took advantage of the fact that the original owner was disturbed by someone climbing into his bed to persuade the original owner, so the original owner gave in and followed screenwriter Li’s wishes.
Screenwriter Li is not young anymore. She has been in the entertainment circle for so many years and has made many connections. Her husband is also a well-known old actor, so she put on a lot of airs: “Director Gu, what’s with your attitude?”
“This is just how I am,” Yan Jingze said, “I said a lot to you yesterday but you won’t change it. Now let me ask you again, will you change the script?”
“Change? How do you want me to change it? If it were randomly changed, the show would be messed up!” Screenwriter Li said.
“I don’t care, you have to change!”
Screenwriter Li threw the script in her hand on the table and made a ‘pa’ sound: “Director Gu, you have never filmed a xianxia or an idol drama, so don’t just tell people to change it!”
“Okay, I won’t shoot your script anymore!”
Screenwriter Li was stunned: “What?”
“I’m not satisfied with this script, so I won’t shoot it! You don’t want to return the deposit I gave you before, please!” Yan Jingze pointed at the door and said.
When filming movies that the screenwriters write, they often don’t pay all the money at the beginning. They usually pay slowly one by one, and the last payment is usually paid after the film is released.
The screenwriter also needs to follow up with the crew so that the script can be adjusted at any time.
The original owner decided to shoot this kind of movie a month ago, so he gave screenwriter Li a deposit of 200,000 yuan first.
It’s a lot of money, but once the contract is signed, there is really no reason to return it.
“What do you mean?” Screenwriter Li was stunned.
“It’s not interesting. I want to make a movie of my own. I don’t want you to point fingers.” Yan Jingze said.
Just as they were arguing, the show’s producer, investors, etc., came in behind the assistant, who had just been kicked out by him.
Yan Jingze felt that the original owner really ruined his mind by taking drugs.
The film’s producers, investors, etc., are all messes. Zhou Liming said that he recently encountered some trouble, so he could only invest five million…something is obviously wrong!
And somehow the original owner didn’t think anything was wrong!
However, the original owner couldn’t be blamed for this. The original owner came from a grassroots background, he also hasn’t had any good teams when making movies before too.
People make movies and spend millions of yuan to hire image designers to help with the character images in the movie. What about the original owner? The makeup artists are all cheap ones.
However, in the original owner’s eyes, this team is already pretty good.
“What’s the matter?” One of the investors, Mr. Wang who had a secret relationship with Qi Qi, asked.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I plan to make my own movie, not according to what you said!” Yan Jingze said.
“What are you yelling? With so much investment and such a big project, everyone can always discuss it.” Mr. Wang smiled, as if Yan Jingze was making trouble for no reason.
Yan Jingze said: “I don’t want to discuss with you, anyway, it’s impossible for me to use Qi Qi!”
“Director Gu! When I invested, I already said the conditions!” Mr. Wang was dissatisfied. When he signed the investment contract, although he didn’t include the clause that Qi Qi should be used, it was almost settled. Otherwise, Qi Qi will not have let out the wind that he will participate in the movie.
“You can withdraw the investment!” Yan Jingze said.
The power to talk lies in the investment, if Mr. Wang wants to withdraw the investment, he naturally can’t do anything about it. Of course, Mr. Wang can’t ask him for liquidated damages. After all, he didn’t breach the contract by not accepting Qi Qi.
The actors who came to audition were all outside the hall, while in the hall, Yan Jingze was arguing with the screenwriter, investors, and even his assistant director.
After the original owner took drugs, his state of mind is a little crazy.
So, Yan Jingze also pretended to be like that, like he didn’t pay attention to anyone present at all. He only kept saying that the original script was not going to be filmed, he wanted to make a movie of his own, with himself as the screenwriter.
Others: “…” Is Director Gu crazy?!
Yan Jingze is going to pretend to be crazy to drive all these restless people out of the crew all at once.
The original owner has made a total of ten movies in these years, which can be called high production as it made a lot of money, and is well-known in the industry.
However, because the original owner was not from a professional background, lacked skills, and the movies he made were all popcorn commercial movies, etc., his status in the circle was not very high.
Zhou Liming is different.
Zhou Liming is a rich second generation. When he gave 2 million for the original owner to make a movie, he was still a student. The money was just the lucky money he got for the New Year.
Later, he made money from investing, and with the help of his parents, he opened a film and television company and invested in some other entertainment companies.
In seven years, the original owner made ten movies and earned tens of millions, while Zhou Liming started a company for investment and earned at least two billion.
The few movies that the original owner made in the early days got good box office, helping Zhou Liming earn 700-800 million.
In addition, Zhou Liming has been in the entertainment industry for seven years, he has developed a lot of connections. Those well-known media are very familiar with him.
After the original owner quit drugs in his previous life, it stands to reason that with his previous qualifications, even if he can no longer be a director, someone should ask him to help out on the set.
It was because of Zhou Liming that he couldn’t find a job at all.
At that time, an actor, who became popular because of his participation in one of the original owner’s films, took the original owner in, and then the person’s contract role was snatched by Zhou Liming’s artists!
Zhou Liming is powerful, so Yan Jingze has no way to confront Zhou Liming head-on for the time being.
However, he won’t allow Zhou Liming to manipulate him.
He simply pretends to be crazy and drives everyone out.
Zhou Liming must have known about the original owner’s addiction to drugs, so he temporarily relaxed his vigilance against him. He will take this opportunity to develop secretly and get rid of drugs by the way.
Otherwise…If Zhou Liming reports him for taking drugs now, he can only be thrown into the abyss directly.
When Yan Jingze was making a fuss, Su Moxiu was following Liu Leyan to the outside of the hall.
This place is actually a hall, with many chairs for people to sit on. At the moment, there are many people sitting and talking loudly.
When Su Moxiu came in from the outside, the ‘buzzing’ conversation suddenly disappeared.
Although Su Moxiu has been very popular for a few years, he doesn’t participate in various activities. His main job is to participate in variety shows and conduct live broadcasts.
Even if it is filming dramas, he will only film online dramas.
Because of this, not many people have seen him in reality, and people in the movie circle are even more unfamiliar with him.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the real person — this person is…really so good-looking!
They thought his look was because of retouching and filters!
The current picture editing software can turn the rough man into a melancholy and beautiful boy. They didn’t believe that Su Moxiu really looked like that…
Everyone was shocked by Su Moxiu’s appearance, then the next second, they all looked at Qi Qi together.
Recently, Su Moxiu and Qi Qi have had a lot of trouble.
Qi Qi saw Su Moxiu and greeted with a smile: “Su Moxiu, long time no see.”
“It’s not long. We met a week ago.” Su Moxiu said.
Qi Qi has long been used to Su Moxiu being like this, so he doesn’t care: “Su Moxiu, I didn’t expect to meet you here. You are also here to participate in Director Gu’s audition?”
Like what Liu Leyan had found out, Su Moxiu’s audition invitation was given by Qi Qi.
Qi Qi also found the media to follow.
He has already been pre-appointed. He will be the leading actor in Director Gu’s new movie. What about Su Moxiu? 100% return without success.
At that time, he can step on Su Moxiu again to increase his popularity.
Don’t look at how Su Moxiu is getting beaten, his popularity is still very high — no matter how much people don’t like Su Moxiu, they will still click on Su Moxiu’s news.
“My AXiu did receive an audition invitation from Director Gu, but we don’t plan to participate in the audition.” Liu Leyan stepped forward and stood in front of Su Moxiu, “My AXiu entered the entertainment industry just to fulfill his dream, and now he plans to retire. He didn’t come to snatch this opportunity with you.”
Qi Qi was taken aback.
Su Moxiu is usually very frugal, so the company worked hard to get him more jobs. When he had a good relationship with Su Moxiu before, he knew that Su Moxiu had been saving his money.
Why did Su Moxiu suddenly retire?
“Oh, AXiu can’t help it. He is not young, and his parents told him to go back to inherit the family business.” Liu Leyan said again.
“Pfft.” Qi Qi laughed, “Sister Liu, even if you want to make a joke, you can’t make it like this. These kinds of rich second-generation designs are all rotten on the street now. You can’t just smooth things over like that for Su Moxiu.”
“How am I smoothing things over, I’m telling the truth! Qi Qi, when you were in our company, you stuck to AXiu all day long. If you couldn’t stick to him, you would spread rumors to blacken AXiu. You would do anything for money…Now you said it’s ridiculous that he is a rich second generation.” Liu Leyan said, putting her hands on her hip, ready to start fighting Qi Qi.
Anyway, Su Moxiu is going to quit the circle, and he will go abroad soon, so she plans to go all out and tear Qi Qi hard!
Originally, she did this because she didn’t want Qi Qi to be in Director Gu’s play, but now…she simply wanted to vent her anger.
Qi Qi laughed when he heard Liu Leyan’s words: “Sister Liu, this is Director Gu’s place, even if you want to splash dirty water on me and make trouble, don’t do it here…”
He was a little worried, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
So what if Liu Leyan makes trouble?
The media is on his side. It won’t be long before the media will post a draft of him succeeding in the audition, while Su Moxiu failing in the audition, splashing dirty water on him with his manager, and making a fuss at the audition scene.
Su Moxiu wants to retire? That’s just right, he can step on him again, saying that Su Moxiu ran away with a guilty conscience.
When Qi Qi sent Su Moxiu the audition invitation, he had already thought that Liu Leyan might make trouble, so he didn’t care.
Director Gu is very strong, but everything depends on money. Since he has agreed to let him play the male lead, then the matter is settled.
And as long as he ‘succeeds in the audition’, he can write the news as he pleases.
Qi Qi was proud when the door of the next hall suddenly opened wide.
Then, those investors who went in before, and others all came out together, one by one, with ugly faces.
Qi Qi even noticed that Mr. Wang was covering his head…no, covering the wig on his head.
“President Wang?” Qi Qi looked at Mr. Wang with concern. He wanted to avoid suspicion, but if he really ignored him, Mr. Wang would definitely be angry.
“Follow me!” Mr. Wang said to Qi Qi.
Qi Qi was taken aback.
At this time, Yan Jingze came out of the hall and said loudly: “Go, y’all go! My movie, I won’t let any of you point at it! I’m going to make my own movie…Qi Qi, I won’t let you act in my movie, go!”
Qi Qi’s expression froze.
Liu Leyan smiled happily, and looked at Yan Jingze with admiration — as expected of her favorite Director Gu, he is domineering!
