The director was preparing to hold a meeting with everyone to standardize the future process.
Unexpectedly, a young man suddenly broke in, followed by a bodyguard.
"Hey, who are you? Get out, get out!"
A crew member who didn't know Chen Zhizhou yelled.
Chen Zhizhou looked at everyone in the meeting room and said to the staff, "I'm here to attend the meeting, shut up."
The staff was a little confused, "Who are you? What kind of meeting are you attending? What do you have to do here?"
Zuo Yan and Lu Wanwan both stood up, and the young handsome man seemed to realize something?
Even more unhappy, "Director, are we still going to hold the meeting now? If any cat or dog can break into our meeting room, what's the difference from a vegetable market?"
The director also looked at Chen Zhizhou with a confused face, and the representative of Hongtu Investment came over, "This is our Mr. Chen, he represents the investors with full authority, does anyone have any objections?"
"O! He is actually the investor?"
Those who just talked nonsense were instantly speechless, and even the young handsome actor shut up.
He has some background, otherwise the director would not give him face.
But no matter how great an actor is, he will not be stupid enough to compete with the investors.
Unless you are already famous all over the world and become a superstar, not bound by any conditions.
The investors can only listen to you and let you do whatever you want.
He is far from being good in this aspect, just a product of packaging and hype.
When the crew members heard that it was the investor, they instinctively stepped aside.
The director stood up, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Zhizhou waved his hand, "Thank you for your hard work, director!"
"Did Xiao Zuo and Xiao Lu cause you any trouble?"
"No, no!"
The director shook his head repeatedly. He didn't know Chen Zhizhou's background. Such a young guy, who is also an investor, must have an extraordinary background.
But Zuo Yan frowned when she heard that he actually called himself Xiao Zuo.
OK!
You are so bold.
You actually called me Xiao Zuo.
But she was not serious. After all, she had to handle things in a fair and impartial manner in such an occasion.
The director invited Chen Zhizhou to the main seat. Chen Zhizhou was not polite and glanced at everyone in the conference room.
"Director, why did we suddenly stop shooting today when we were shooting well?"
"Isn't the venue fund money?"
"Whose idea was this?"
To shoot here, you have to pay the venue fee, and it is calculated on a daily basis.
The director originally planned to finish shooting this scene today and move to another place tomorrow.
But he didn't expect the actor to suddenly give him a problem.
Seeing Chen Zhizhou asking about this, he knew that Chen Zhizhou might know everything that happened today.
However, the director did not directly blame the actor, but said tactfully,
"Because there were some small misunderstandings in the middle, we need to communicate again, so we will take a half-day break to come back for a meeting."
Chen Zhizhou lit a cigarette,
"I heard that someone changed the rules without authorization and acted like a big shot."
He looked around,
"So, I will invest another 20 million in the crew, fire today's troublemakers, and recast."
"It's just a few more shots, it's okay, I can afford it."
"Huh?"
Everyone in the meeting room was stunned.
The director did not react for a while.
Chen Zhizhou continued,
"For me, money is not a problem, the rules must be followed."
"If this 20 million is not enough, I will add more."
"If there is extra money, it will be regarded as a bonus for the crew members."
"Okay!"
The investor is willing to pay, why should I be unhappy.
The director nodded solemnly and looked at the actor seriously, "Shi Yukai, you are fired."
"What?"
"Director!"
Shi Yukai could hardly believe it. He was the only star in the entire crew.
How dare they fire him?
He stood up angrily, "Director——"
"Don't say anything. I have tolerated you for a long time."
"You want to stay in the most expensive suite in the hotel, you want to have special meals, you must ride in a Rolls-Royce when going in and out, and even the toilet must be exclusive... Go, go!"
The director waved his hand impatiently.
Shi Yukai was furious, "You...you..."
"Okay, I'll leave, but remember, there will be a time when you will beg me."
After that, he threw his hat on the table angrily and left.
Chen Zhizhou ordered, "You ask the reporter to publish an article saying that this person was fired by the crew for being a big shot!"
"Okay!"
The staff responded.
Chen Zhizhou said,
"I hope this situation won't happen again in the future. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be kicked out!"
Then he turned around and told the staff,
"Notify Mr. Shen to add another 20 million yuan to the crew."
"Okay!"
"Give all the crew extra meals today."
"Director, I'm sorry to interrupt your work progress."
"Let's go out for dinner tonight?"
The director certainly likes it when they come to add investment.
He also looks forward to having such investors in the future.
If he encounters a good script, he can discuss it with them, and they may agree directly.
Therefore, such relationships must be handled well.
"Okay, okay."
The director told everyone,
"Then adjourn the meeting. You female comrades go back and prepare, and have dinner together in the evening."
There are dozens of people in the crew.
The director originally wanted to call only the core staff and main actors, but he didn't expect Chen Zhizhou to say it doesn't matter, call everyone!
Everyone has worked hard! He told the company staff,
"Go and make arrangements, find the best hotel."
The staff immediately made arrangements, and Chen Zhizhou went back to the room with the director to drink tea and chat, and learn about the situation of the crew.
The director also knew the relationship between Chen Zhizhou and Zuo Yan. Shen Siyu had warned them long before, and sent people to protect the two.
I didn't expect Shi Yukai to make a fuss.
This guy has bad intentions and is self-righteous.
In fact, the director doesn't like him either, but he has a backer and someone said hello.
Nowadays, no matter what industry you do, you rely on connections. No matter how capable the director is, he still needs investors.
While the two were chatting, Shi Yukai's backer called and got angry at the director.
"You are so good that you don't even give me face."
"You fired people without even saying hello. Okay, don't look for me in the future."
The other party hung up the phone angrily, and the director could only smile bitterly.
This time he completely offended the person.
But at this point, he could only bite the bullet and go on.
Dinner was booked at a restaurant on the sea, more than 10 kilometers away from the film and television city. This meal cost Chen Zhizhou more than 600,000 yuan.
The director said that he wanted to open a film and television company in partnership with Hongtu Capital, focusing on training his own team.
In this way, he would have a fixed investor.
Chen Zhizhou knew his intention and said that these were not a problem.
After finishing the filming of this play, he could go to Shen Siyu to discuss cooperation.
Both parties ended the dinner happily. After eating and drinking, Chen Zhizhou and Zuo Yan couldn't wait to return to the hotel room to experience the feeling of flooding Jinshan.
Lu Wanwan was in the next room, looking at the moon in the sky...
