Being a villain in three ABO novels at the same time
Chapter 77 Chapter 77
Is someone scolding her?
Su Qing had no way to verify it.
Soon, it was Monday, and Su Qing's time also entered the world of redemption literature.
Early in the morning, she drove to the crew of "I Have a Knife".
I thought everyone was busy filming, but unexpectedly, when I arrived at the crew, I found that there were only a few staff members, and even the assistant director I met last week was not there.
There were only two or three people sitting there, bored and browsing their phones.
"Aren't you filming today?" Su Qing found Fu Yihan's assistant Xiao N.
Little N looked as if he was about to say something but hesitated: "Shoot."
"Filming? Then why is there no one here?" Su Qing asked.
Little N sighed and told Su Qing that a lot of things happened during the time she was away.
Because of Liao Hengqiu's injury, the film's investors withdrew their investment, and Director Gu has not been able to find new investors. The crew was in a panic, worried that the film would fail and they would not get their wages.
Some people secretly contacted other crews; some people complained, thinking that it was all Fu Yihan's fault. If Fu Yihan went to apologize to Liao Hengqiu, maybe the investors would come back...
People's morale was low and no one was in the mood to film. Even the assistant director didn't show up.
“Has the investment not arrived yet?”
Su Qing muttered something, and then asked, "Where is Fu Yihan?"
Little N pointed to the makeshift lounge next to them and said, "Brother Fu and the director are in there."
"Sorry, Xiao Fu, I'm afraid we can't continue filming the movie."
As soon as Su Qing walked over, she saw the director apologizing to Fu Yihan.
After not seeing each other for just one weekend, Gu Wensheng, who was full of vigor and vitality before, now had a scruffy beard and looked shabby and embarrassed. He had lost all his energy and spirit, with two circles of purple circles under his eyes. He looked like a walking corpse. Su Qing almost didn't recognize him.
Fu Yihan was wearing a black down jacket, standing opposite him, also frowning.
Hearing footsteps at the door, the two people in the room turned their heads.
"You're here." After seeing Su Qing, Fu Yihan's somewhat gloomy eyes became a little brighter.
Su Qing nodded at him, then looked at Gu Wensheng: "Hasn't new investment been attracted yet?"
Gu Wensheng looked at her tiredly and shook his head slowly: "Sorry, I'm afraid the movie will be over."
In the past two days, Gu Wensheng only slept for two hours, and he slept in the car. The rest of the time, he was trying to find new investment for the movie "I Have a Knife".
Logically speaking, his script was good and he had made successful films before, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find investors.
But no matter who he approached, and no matter whether the other party was interested in his movie, as long as they heard that the investor who withdrew previously was a member of the Huo family, the investment deal would fail.
It's not like he had never thought about hiding the fact that Huo Dada had invested in movies, but firstly, he couldn't live with it; secondly, City C was so small that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
No one dared to invest in a movie after the Huo family withdrew their investment, because in City C, no one dared to offend the Huo family.
Unless, seek shelter from the other three major families.
But why should they protect you?
Gu Wensheng was in a desperate situation.
What made him most miserable was that just two hours ago, he received a resignation call from the assistant director. The assistant director said on the phone that he was threatened by people in the industry and was not allowed to help Gu Wensheng with matchmaking. He had no choice but to apologize to his brother.
The assistant director and Gu Wensheng have been partners for many years and they are like brothers.
He knew that the other party must have struggled hard to make this call, so he didn't blame him. He only blamed himself for being too greedy.
If he had not been greedy for the huge investment from the Huo family, but had honestly found a few smaller investors, or reduced the filming costs in advance, actors like Liao Hengqiu would never have had the chance to be included in his movies.
If Liao Hengqiu couldn't come in, there wouldn't be anything happening afterwards.
Su Qing walked to the water dispenser and poured herself a cup of hot water: "Perhaps, we can wait a little longer and not draw conclusions so early. Maybe we will have a conclusion in the afternoon."
Xiao Li, whom Xiao Wang recommended, is very familiar with the process. Maybe we don’t have to wait until the afternoon and we will have news soon.
Gu Wensheng thought she was just comforting herself and didn't hold out hope for a "turnaround". But even so, 10 minutes later, Gu Wensheng forced himself to cheer up, left the room, and called the crew outside to start work.
Fu Yihan also had to go to the dressing room to put on makeup.
Su Qing held the paper cup and walked outside.
When they reached the door, Fu Yihan stopped and turned to look at her uncertainly: "Will the movie find new investors?"
He looked much calmer than before.
But deep down, he couldn't help but feel anxious and self-blame. He felt that he had brought "bad luck" to the crew of "I Have a Knife".
After all, he has not encountered many "lucky" things since he was a child.
The water in the cup had already cooled down. Su Qing lifted it up and took a sip before answering Fu Yihan's question: "Of course."
That being said, the situation on the crew did not improve.
The investor withdrew his investment, the second male lead resigned, the assistant director fled, and other staff members fled...
The film had no investors and no money, and it was obvious that it would not be able to continue filming. These were not problems that could be solved by Gu Wensheng's insistence.
Poverty is the hardest thing to hide.
The arrival of Liao Hengqiu and his agency seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back for the crew.
"We have already rented this venue." Liao Hengqiu said. His leg was broken by a horse from the crew, and now one of his feet is in a cast. He is sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed here by his assistant. Behind him are his agent, bodyguards, and staff from the film and television studio.
Gu Wensheng had previously used the money from selling his house and car to rent props and spend it on other things. And since Huo Dada withdrew their investment, the crew is now so poor that they can't even afford the venue fees.
Gu Wensheng originally planned to think of another solution, but he did not expect Liao Hengqiu to bring people to the crew at this time.
Liao Hengqiu's leg was broken and he couldn't film at all.
He rented the venue at this time, clearly intending to prevent the filming of "I Have a Knife" from continuing.
"But we have signed the lease contract and paid a part of the deposit." Gu Wensheng frowned and looked at the staff of the film and television city.
The dispute here attracted Fu Yihan, who was rehearsing his lines and preparing for filming, and Su Qing, who was standing nearby drinking water.
"What's going on?" Su Qing said, carrying the cup over.
Fu Yihan, dressed up as the "Guaizao Village Boy", also followed.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, the staff of the film and television city raised their hands nervously, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and said to Gu Wensheng with embarrassment: "Director Gu, it's not that we don't abide by the contract, but given the current situation, can your "A Knife" crew come up with the remaining money? We are a film and television city, and we also need to consider the risks."
The staff explained the reason very clearly.
It seems that the film and television city has also learned about Huo Dada's withdrawal of investment.
It's understandable that they have such concerns, but it's a bit unfair at this critical juncture.
"Once you sign a contract, you should act in accordance with the contract." At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
Everyone turned around and saw Su Qing standing outside the crowd holding a paper cup.
"Who are you?" asked the staff at the film and television city.
Liao Hengqiu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and his agent also saw Su Qing.
Liao Hengqiu might not be very familiar with Su Qing, he just knew that she looked somewhat familiar, but his agent didn't think so.
"It's you?" Liao Hengqiu's agent frowned.
The agent recognized Su Qing.
He quickly bent down and told Liao Hengqiu about the past grudges between them.
"It's you?" Liao Hengqiu's face fell.
The agent told him that the person in front of him was Fu Yihan's agent at Xinghai Company, and also Fu Yihan's agent when he was at Hongxing Entertainment.
When Liao Hengqiu heard the words “Fu Yihan’s agent at Hongxing Entertainment”, he immediately thought of the group of lawyers at Hengshui Law Firm.
The lawyers from Hengyi Law Firm kept biting him like a mad dog. Wasn't it because they were commissioned by Fu Yihan's agent when he was in Hongxing Entertainment?
Liao Hengqiu stared at Su Qing with resentment, and for a moment, new and old grudges surged into his heart.
Su Qing saw Liao Hengqiu's sullen face, but she didn't take it to heart, instead she drank the water in the cup leisurely. However, Fu Yihan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but frowned when he saw Liao Hengqiu staring at Su Qing with such eyes.
"Since your crew of "I Have a Knife" cannot pay the subsequent venue usage fees, move out immediately!" Liao Hengqiu sneered.
The film and television city did not dare to breach the contract blatantly, but if the crew could not pay the subsequent fees today, they could only rent the venue to Liao Hengqiu.
After hearing this, the rest of the crew started whispering to each other, looking anxious.
Move away?
He must have been driven away.
The crew can’t be so poor that they can’t even afford the venue fee.
There was discussion around.
"Director Gu, there's someone outside who claims to be from a 'super rich' company looking for you." Just then, Fu Yihan's assistant Xiao N came in with a bunch of breakfast, disrupting the atmosphere.
He didn't know what had just happened, but after he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere on the set was a little wrong. Why did the injured Liao Hengqiu come again?
Little N shrank his neck in embarrassment, and quickly walked to Su Qing with the breakfast in his arms.
"Sister Su Qing, here's your breakfast." Little N handed the breakfast to Su Qing.
Su Qing came early in the morning and hadn't eaten yet, so she gave money to Xiao N to buy her breakfast. Su Qing only took a portion of pan-fried buns, so she asked Xiao N to ask if there was anyone else in the crew who hadn't eaten yet?
Anyone who hasn’t had breakfast can come here to get it.
The venue is about to be occupied by others, and you are still thinking about breakfast?
At first, no one came forward.
It was not until Fu Yihan was the first to reach out and take a portion of steamed dumplings that the others who had not eaten breakfast came over one after another to get their breakfast.
The atmosphere on Liao Hengqiu and Gu Wensheng's side was aggressive, while on Su Qing's side, they were eating homely food like steamed buns and steamed buns, which formed a sharp contrast between the two sides.
Seeing this, Liao Hengqiu couldn't help but snorted coldly, but continued to force Gu Wensheng.
Gu Wensheng ignored him, but walked up to Xiao N and asked him, "What do you mean by 'hugely wealthy company'?"
Little N had just finished distributing breakfast and had two portions left. Thinking that Gu Wensheng seemed to have not had breakfast yet, he wanted to give one to him, but was pushed back by Gu Wensheng.
Gu Wensheng asked again.
Little N just remembered the person he had just met at the entrance of the film and television city: "Oh, that person said he was from the 'Super Rich' company and wanted to talk to Director Gu about film investment."
"Cough." Su Qing choked beside him.
Super rich?
What kind of weird name did Xiao Li come up with?
