"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to a concert today?"
Finally there was no jet lag. Sang Yuan took advantage of his lunch break to make a video call and saw Ni Bingyan eating there wearing home clothes and her hair down.
The script was half rolled up and at hand. Sang Yuan could use her toes to figure out what she was doing before taking the video.
Looking at the faint blue under her eyes, it looks like she didn't sleep well last night...
Sang Yuan couldn't help but think about it.
The concert is in the main city, and it takes a lot of time to put on makeup and dress up. It is impossible to go back and forth in half a day.
I was looking forward to it yesterday. I said it was rare to see this band come to Chengdu and I must go with my dad. But I didn’t go. Did something happen?
I have to say that Xiao Sang is always quite sharp.
Ni Bingyan is not the kind of person who can't pretend to be troubled. Besides, both of them are very busy at work, so they can't tell each other everything on weekdays.
So Ni Bingyan really never told him about this matter.
Since Sang Yuan asked, Ni Bingyan explained the matter.
But before she could finish speaking, Sang Yuan interrupted her: "Stop, stop, stop! I changed the script for no reason, told the director in advance, but didn't notify you until just before filming started. Aren't you angry?"
"I'm so angry! I just can't stand the resource guys and think I'm not good enough. When I prepare properly, I'll definitely impress them!"
Sang Yuan took a deep breath, then suppressed his anger and asked her:
"Are you short of movies right now? Is this movie really that good? So good that you have to film it? If you don't film it, you'll be worried about it for the rest of your life?"
Ni Bingyan was stunned.
She has no shortage of filming opportunities. Sister Wei receives many invitations every month, and the same goes for Mr. Mars.
This drama is indeed very good, but...
"It's not like..."
"Is it a breach of contract if such a big change to the script is made? You have prepared according to the original script and put in so much effort. You just made the changes without informing you in advance. Who will compensate for your losses? In their eyes, your energy and time are not valuable, and in your eyes they are not valuable either?”
The more Sang Yuan talked, the angrier he became.
I hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.
In my previous life, I had only wronged myself for resources, but the situation in this life has long been different!
He wanted to use practical actions to tell Ni Bingyan - "You now have the capital to say no to all injustices!"
So he has a very tough attitude.
"Then, what do you mean..."
Sang Yuan's point of view was something Ni Bingyan had never thought of. Once he was taught by him, his thoughts followed him unconsciously.
"Of course, I refused the unreasonable demands of the crew, demanded compensation, and then terminated the contract without any hesitation. Now is the time when the Chinese people are extremely confident as a nation, and because of some things, the country is now full of hatred for this country. To be honest, it is impossible to accept such a thing at this time. It’s not a wise play.”
"However, this drama was obtained directly through Mr. Mars. Will this... make him feel very embarrassed?"
Ni Bingyan put down his chopsticks and took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth.
It's not that she's not angry, nor is she ignorant of the current situation, it's just that after weighing it, it's safer to do so.
Mars replaced the role she took through resource replacement. If she acted on her own initiative, wouldn't it be difficult for Mars to do it?
Breaking up with Mars will hinder her development to a great extent, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"What's wrong with this? Mars has an unshirkable responsibility for things developing like this, so why should we care about what he thinks? How can the crew ever give him face by doing this? Huh! You earn face by yourself, not by others. given!"
I thought Mars was very reliable, but I didn't expect such a big flaw to happen.
Sang Yuan was a little annoyed, feeling that Mars didn't pay enough attention to her.
You know, the other two of Mars are international movie queens. Every time they make a new movie, they attract the attention of the world. Compared with them, his wife is indeed a bit far behind.
Seeing that Ni Bingyan was still a little confused, Sang Yuan's mouth tightened:
"It's just a small-budget film with an investment of less than 10 million. The reason why it can appear in front of Mars is just because of the reputation of the director and screenwriter. But no matter what, are they worthy of doing this to you?"
Boss Ni has been listening on the side. He was a little angry when he saw his prospective son-in-law speaking unkindly to his daughter, but now he also turned around——
That's right, such a bad crew, if they don't ask their own baby to come and film, but still do this kind of thing, they should just give up!
She's so good, why should she bother her daughter?
Who is to be a soft persimmon?
"Stop making this crappy movie, pay a liquidated damages, and simply terminate the contract! Even if the schedule is not suitable and you can't find a good script, the worst thing you can do is rest at home for a few months and enjoy life. Look, you haven't done anything in the past few years. How did you ever take a vacation?"
Boss Ni took stock of his financial situation and his thoughts opened up.
Every adult who has wronged himself does it for the sake of living. With his own conditions, he can live a comfortable life even if he lies flat, so why should he suffer from such birdiness?
Seeing that his daughter was silent, Boss Ni glanced at her sideways: "If you leave Butcher Wang, you have to eat pigs with hair on them? I still don't believe it! If you don't do this, you will have no scenes! Terminate the contract immediately! In less than a week, I can give you You recruit a new crew! Shoot right in front of your home! Choose your own script! Choose your own director and co-stars too! Just get the job done comfortably! How great?!"
As a country with a large population, the country’s outstanding screenwriters and directors are all gone, and actors who can’t be filmed are piling up. There is also a mature filming team. As long as the money is in place, they can bring their own equipment to work immediately!
All they lack is resources.
The money is in place and communication channels are smooth, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to work hard to achieve perfection.
People always say that money is not everything, but many things become really easy with money. This is an indisputable fact.
What's more -
"I have a film and television company, all departments are in place, and the distribution channels are okay."
So, you can be tougher.
Although it felt good to have someone's support, Ni Bingyan still did not agree hastily.
"Well, I'll think about it again."
Sang Yuan took a breath and tried to persuade him again, but Boss Ni had already slapped his chopsticks on the table: "What else are you thinking about? Just do as my son-in-law says! You are such a good-tempered person. If we weren't keeping an eye on you, you wouldn't be allowed to do anything. Bullied to death?!"
Ni Bingyan sighed funnyly: "No, dad, don't act out of emotion! Just because the other party changed the script, I can't win the lawsuit! Because after the film project is approved, before the film is filed for review, the script, investors, and cooperation will be changed. Methods, etc. are all acceptable, as long as the investors have no objections.”
This thing was done so smoothly, and the investors had obviously been convinced a long time ago.
"As for notifying me only a few days in advance, there was no agreement on this issue when we signed the contract, and there was no problem with the procedures. Some crews have strict requirements and are afraid that the script will be leaked, so they have to wait until they join the crew before releasing the script! "
She really doesn't want to act in this drama right now, but she doesn't want to pay the crew liquidated damages.
Many things are not so clear to outsiders. They always feel that if they don’t want to act, just tell them. But the movie is about to start shooting. Where can they find a suitable actor?
"Dad, the liquidated damages are very high. I don't want to give them an advantage."
Hearing this, both Weng and son-in-law looked ugly.
I feel bad when I mention Little Japan recently, so I thought I might as well forget it and shoot something else.
