"What business are you talking about? We don't do business here right now."
"Haha, it's fine if we don't do business. You just pack your things and get out now."
"Does this place belong to you? We have already paid venue fees for filming here."
"Hey, who paid the venue fee? It's not in our hands?"
"Just one sentence, from now on, every time you shoot here, all the things you need to buy must be bought from us. We have also inquired about it. You must also use some excavators and forklifts here. It just so happens that we have it too.”
Nie Yun frowned, now he knew what these people were here to do.
It is said that the crew must buy things from them, but this is just another form of paying protection fees.
"Believe it or not, I'm calling the police now."
"Trust me, I didn't tell you to call the police. You can call the police. If you call the police, we'll leave now. From now on, we'll send people over every day for construction. We don't offend the river. I don't care about you either. Don't worry about what we do.
It just so happens that the road here needs to be repaired, and it will definitely be dug out by then. You either don't come in, or you go out and figure out your own solution. "
"This is not your land."
"Hahaha, who says it's not ours? I contracted this mountain myself, but rented it to others. But others have the right to use it, and I also have the right to use it. It's clearly written in the contract.
We are not a gangster. We came here just to seek money. You are also a big director. We are a civilized society now. We will definitely not do some uncivilized things, so it is up to you whether you want to cooperate or not. You are good today. Think about it, call me after you figure it out, if you don't cooperate, I will send my brothers over to do the construction the day after tomorrow.
When the time comes to cooperate, it won’t be this little money. After all, the New Year is coming soon, and you have to pay overtime for work. "
The other party looked arrogant and said a lot.
After saying that, he stuffed the business card into Nie Yun's pocket and left.
Nie Yun was so angry that he threw down the script when he got back.
The police were called on the spot.
It's just that this kind of thing is still in the stage of verbal threats and has not been put into practice. Moreover, although the other party said a lot, it was cooperation from the beginning to the end.
No physical threats were made.
So they could only find each other to give them a lecture and try their best to adjust.
Listening to this tone, Nie Yun knew that this could not be done seriously.
Although those people didn't seem to be serious people, Nie Yun also called the venue, and the other party said that these people had indeed signed such a contract.
There is nothing you can do about this situation.
People are constructing and digging roads nearby, and they have corresponding procedures and qualifications.
Although Nie Yun could afford the money and buy things from anyone, he just couldn't swallow it and was directly threatened.
So he started calling friends for help.
But Nie Yun himself didn't know any friends from the Northeast. If in other places, those friends could have said something and could have settled the matter, but here there was really no way.
This lasted until the next day, and Nie Yun didn't know what to do.
If someone is doing construction nearby, it will be so noisy that it will be impossible to take pictures.
And there is no time for construction. Maybe it can be done for a year or two, digging and filling, and then digging again.
Nothing can be done.
But on this day, Gu Yi received a call.
It's from You Shushan.
Because You Shushan only recently heard from his apprentices that Gu Yi was filming in the Northeast.
So I thought about making a call and asking.
Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, Gu Yi had a good chat with him, and later he helped his apprentice write a song. The song became a hit as soon as it was released, but now his apprentice is being merciless when doing variety shows.
He even sang high notes with Hua Yuxing on the same stage in a variety show. As a result, the apprentice used his real voice while Hua Yuxing used his falsetto.
Although his apprentice later took the initiative to admit defeat, more people on the Internet still supported the apprentice.
Therefore, You Shushan wanted to take this opportunity to catch up with Gu Yi and see if Gu Yi had time to sit with him and let him entertain him.
After all, there are people here in Youshushan, and they seem to be able to write sketches. In addition to their usual theater performances, some of their apprentices are doing variety shows, and there are also sketches at the major TV stations' evening parties at the end of the year.
"Hey, Gu Yi, I heard that you have been filming in the Northeast recently."
"Yes, Uncle You, I originally planned to visit you after filming, but I didn't expect you to call first."
"Haha, why are you visiting? I should be the one to invite you, how's it going? Is the recent filming going well? I see online that you guys are having a hard time."
"It's okay, mainly because the script is good, so it's worth the hard work."
"It's good. It's a good thing that young people can endure hardships and stand hard work. Come and sit here with me when you have time."
"No problem. The filming will be completed in February next year. Then I will go directly to your place to visit."
"Haha, then I will have to entertain you well."
"Uncle, don't bother. I've long heard that the goose stewed in an iron pot is a specialty here, and it has to be eaten while sitting on the kang."
"That's no big deal. I'll give you an iron pot to stew the goose when the time comes. But we also have a lot of specialties here, such as pickled cabbage powder and white meat, pork slices, chicken stewed with mushrooms, etc. Then you can Try them all.”
"Okay, uncle, I don't have any other shortcomings, I just have a greedy mouth."
"Haha, it's settled then. You have to come when the time comes. When you're done over there, I'll ask my apprentice to pick you up. But if you encounter anything here, you can still follow me. I said."
Speaking of things, Gu Yi suddenly thought that Director Nie was still worried about what happened yesterday.
"Uncle You, there seems to be something wrong."
Then Gu Yi told this matter again. After hearing this, You Shushan thought for a few seconds and asked about their current specific location.
Gu Yi also told the other party in detail.
"That's okay, don't worry about this. I'll just take care of it for you. You can film your scenes as they should. They won't come looking for you again."
"Uncle You, are you so powerful?"
"I can't say I'm awesome. After all, I've been here for so many years and I know a few people. With this little respect, they will still sell me out."
"Uncle You, if this can really happen, then I will really have to thank you very much."
"No need to thank you. We are all friends. We talk about those things that we often see outside. Okay, that's it for now. I'll make a few phone calls and you can tell your director not to worry."
"Okay, thank you Uncle You."
After Gu Yi hung up the phone, he was still muttering in his heart. After all, You Shushan didn't seem to be from this province. Can this thing be done?
But he still talked to Nie Yun.
"What? You know You Shushan! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Director, you didn't even ask me."
"Then it seems like this can be done."
"He's so good here."
"It's hard to say, but there is a saying that goes like this, after leaving Shanhaiguan, if you have anything to do, go to Shushan."
Gu Yi couldn't help but be speechless in his heart.
Nie Yun also saw what he was thinking.
"Okay, since he can help, we don't have to worry about it. Anyway, things have reached this point. If it doesn't work, we can only do business with others. But if this thing can really happen, I owe him Just a favor.”
Gu Yi laughed when he heard this and said, "Director, it's easier to repay this kind of favor. From now on, you can just take him as a few apprentices when filming."
"Well, let's talk about it, but I still have to go to the door with a gift to say thank you."
"Director, I plan to go to his place after I finish filming."
"Well, let's go our separate ways then. But you helped me settle this matter. I'll have to thank you later."
Gu Yi found that Nie Yun was a relatively pure person. He would scold him when he needed to be scolded online, offending one person and then another, but he was also very nice to people he liked.
It doesn't matter what your background is.
Normally on the set, Nie Yun was very polite even to the extras, and would buy something for everyone to eat every once in a while.
Sure enough, at night, Nie Yun received a call. It was from the group yesterday saying that there was some misunderstanding. They could film here as long as they wanted, and not just this time, they would come over to film in the future. , venue fees can also be discounted by 20%.
