Seeing Xue Yanzi slam the door angrily and go out, the producer smiled bitterly: "It seems that we have no way out now."

If she offends Xue Yanzi, she will definitely file a complaint with the backstage boss, Mr. Shang. What will happen to the subsequent investment then?

You know, only half of the investment money for this movie was given. If the business manager doesn’t give any money, how can we continue filming this movie?

Director Wang snorted coldly, "I don't believe it. Without her, Xue Yanzi, I wouldn't be able to film this scene."

The producer was worried, "It can still be done without her, but I'm afraid that Mr. Shang won't do it."

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for you." Director Wang said apologetically.

"It's okay, you have such a bad temper. I have been working with you for so long, and I know that sooner or later you will get involved. I am ready for it," the producer joked.

"How much money do you have now?"

"It's less than 3 million, and the business manager only gave half of it. The rest, according to the previous agreement, will be given after the filming is completed."

3 million, which sounds like a big number, is a drop in the bucket for the crew's expenses, and it won't last long at all.

Because, as long as such a huge crew is running, everything will be money.

"Let's think of some ways first and make preparations." Director Wang thought for a moment before saying.

"How about we have a good talk with Mr. Shang? Tell us about Xue Yanzi's case?" the producer suggested. If Mr. Shang doesn't fall out and continues to give money, they don't have to worry about money.

"It's useless, Mr. Shang is very defensive." Director Wang shook his head. He has a relationship with Mr. Shang and knows him well. When he loves someone, he always responds to his requests. Now that Xue Yanzi is someone else, he will definitely do it.

Protect.

"Okay, then I'll think of a way to get some sponsorship, and at the same time, I'll also reduce the crew's expenses, and see if I can save some money."

"Thank you for your hard work." Director Wang patted him on the shoulder.

"That's right. As a producer, am I not responsible for cleaning up the director's mess?"

The producer responded with a smile, took out his notebook, and the two of them summed it up. Now that the script has been revised, some plots can be removed, and some people can naturally disappear.

Director Wang vaguely understood what the producer meant. There is currently no hope of open source, so we should cut costs.

You can save some money by carefully calculating room fees, lunch boxes, and venue expenses.

In the past, because the boss paid generously, everything about the crew was the best, including booking a hotel, finding the best venue, eating the best lunch boxes, and providing fruit and snacks every day... These were all money, but now that there is no

People pay the bill, so it’s okay to be simple.

The producer made up his mind and carefully wrote down each item in his notebook...

There were more than a hundred people on the crew, and each person's meal allowance was 50 yuan a day, which meant that a day's meal would cost 10,000 yuan. The producer's calculations were rattling, and this was not even a big expense.

Such as equipment rental and hotel rent, these are all paid in advance. As long as the finalization time is not delayed, there is basically no need to pay extra... However, there is no need to live in such a good place now, right? Change to a worse hotel.

, and you can also get a sum of money back...

There is still a part that can be saved, which is the remuneration of the cast and crew. Three big names like Lu Yi, Xue Yanzi, and Zheng Haoshuang are paid according to the episode, and one episode is 30,000 yuan.

Some important supporting roles are paid several thousand per episode. As for minor actors, they are paid on a daily basis, around one hundred a day.

These are all money, but if the script is deleted, part of the subsequent plot can be deleted, which can save a fortune...

The producer even regretted why he impulsively hired such two great actors. The remuneration of Xue Yanzi and Zheng Haoshuang alone accounted for most of the expenses. It would have been much cheaper if they had chosen newcomers! The price-performance ratio was also high.

Alas, this time I was still vain and concerned about face.

The producer is here reminiscing about the hardships and sweetness, while making small calculations in his mind to pick apart and pick things up. Are there any producers as hard-working as him?

So on this day, the crew stopped working. It was said that the director wanted to revise the script... The producer was in a hurry and looked ugly.

As for the great god Xue Yanzi, he has been staying behind closed doors. He doesn’t know what happened, and the atmosphere in the crew is full of weirdness.

In the Internet age, information is interconnected, and there are many people in the crew who are bored and scrolling through Weibo. Therefore, the ups and downs of the drama on Weibo are also exciting for everyone... For a time, the scandal between Director Wang and Lu Yi, Xue Yanzi intervened

The gossip about Director Dao and Lu Yi changing roles on the spot in a rage spread throughout the crew. Everyone was waiting with baited breath to see how things would develop next.

Even outside the hotel, there were reporters who heard the news and were ready to take action. The producer temporarily issued a hush-hush order to everyone: they were not allowed to reveal any information about the crew to the media. If there was any violation, they would be expelled immediately! Go ahead and complain.

With Xue Yanzi's lesson learned from the past, no one dared to pull out their teeth for a while, and the entire crew remained silent.

The director, producer, and important members of the team were all locked in a room for a meeting. Everyone else was also restricted to their rooms, and filming was stopped.

Song Qing stayed in Lu Yi's room and sighed as he saw Lu Yi still eating the apple calmly.

Why did she follow such a crazy master? There was such a big thing happening outside, and she would be hyped to death in a minute, so how could she still be so calm?

She had been waiting for a day, but she didn't see any movement from Lu Yi.

"Lu Yi, aren't you worried?" Song Qing asked.

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about your reputation! There are rumors going around that you were cheated on by the director! Aren't you afraid that the chief will be angry when he sees it?" God knows, she was embarrassed when she saw the news. The chief said that Lu Yi had someone here

If anything goes wrong, you must report it to him, but this scandal,

She didn't dare to say it! What if the chief knew about it and got angry? She had followed Lu Yi for two months and agreed with her, so she gritted her teeth and kept the news secret, without notifying the chief immediately... God knows, what was in her heart

I'm still worried, because I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from the chief for long.

"Don't worry, the chief won't believe it." Lu Yi was biting the apple, his mind was not on this at all.

"Even if the chief doesn't believe it, will he be unhappy when he sees it? And what will the chief's family think of you? Aren't you worried?"

"What has happened, can you solve the problem by worrying about it?" Lu Yi answered calmly, "The crew has already taken action, don't worry, it's just a fake scandal, they can handle it."

The producer was so cunning, and she gave him a little hint, so this incident would be resolved smoothly.

"Okay, I hope there won't be any big problems." Lu Yi's calmness affected Song Qing, and she finally became calmer. She picked up an apple and took a big bite as if to vent her anger.

The producer received a call. He hurriedly signaled to Director Wang, glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and simply pressed the call button with his thumb.

The wait has finally arrived, the final judgment.

His expression was solemn, but his tone became naturally brisk when he spoke: "Mr. Shang, how are you doing recently? Why did you have time to call me? Haha."

The other party didn't seem to hear his polite words, and came over in a furious tone: "Xue Yanzi just called me and said that you want to delete her scene. What's going on?"

"It's like this, Mr. Shang, please listen to my explanation. Something happened on the crew. Someone broke the news on the Internet and published fake news, saying that Director Wang secretly cheated on Lu Yi. This news has had a very bad impact on the crew.

We must deal with it seriously...please understand."

"Is it related to Xue Yanzi?" Mr. Shang's voice on the phone was low, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

"Yes, we have found out. The person who broke the news is Xue Yanzi... She also admitted it. In order to reduce losses and to scare the monkeys, Xue Yanzi's behavior cannot be tolerated!"

The producers tried to make the matter as serious as possible, so that punishing Xue Yanzi was justifiable, and Mr. Shang had nothing to say.

"So you want to delete her scenes?"

"Yes, this is the unanimous opinion of our team. We can't afford such an actor. Maybe she will sell the crew at some point."

Mr. Shang rubbed the corners of his eyes and said nothing for a while. He had been in a meeting all morning and was very tired. Just after the meeting, he heard his secretary say that Xue Yanzi had been looking for him... When he answered the phone, he cried and complained that the crew was bullying her. Not only

He slandered her and even deleted her scenes so that he could stand up for her.

If it had been before, he might have complied. He has always been generous to women and responded to her requests within the scope of his ability. But this time, he was strangely unhappy. After all, during this time, another woman occupied his heart.

The figure is not that interested in Xue Yanzi, and even feels a little bored...

However, after all, he had been with him before, so he couldn't ignore it and still had to call and ask.

As a result, as soon as the producer explained it, he knew that Xue Yanzi had caused him trouble again.

The producer said cautiously over there: "Mr. Shang, we also know that Xue Yanzi is the person you have chosen, and we shouldn't touch her. But what she did has a huge impact. If we don't deal with it,

She, Director Wang and Lu Yi’s Fei￣

If you hear it, you won’t be able to explain it, and everyone will be in trouble. The director has unspoken rules for the female lead. This is a scandal. If those media get caught... this drama will be over without publicity. Please forgive me, so are we.

It’s a last resort.”

As soon as he heard Lu Yi was mentioned there and probably understood what Xue Yanzi had done, Mr. Shang knew that this was Xue Yanzi's revenge on Lu Yi...

Mr. Shang changed his posture: "What did Director Wang say? Is he angry?"

"Yes, Director Wang is very angry."

"Where's Lu Yi?"

The unexpected answer made the producer stunned, but he immediately replied: "Lu Yi is also very angry and very sad..."
