Chapter 78 - Famous Director Meet Vase Traffic 7
The fact that Gu Shihao drove away the investors and chose Su Moxiu as the male lead was posted on the Internet by those who attended the audition and related staff.
At that time, this news was only spread in a small area.
However, immediately afterwards, screenwriter Li posted on Weibo: “It’s really hard to be a screenwriter! I was kicked out of the crew for failing to change the script beyond recognition as requested by some people.”
These days, it is really difficult to be a screenwriter. Investors, directors, and even male and female leading actors are all asking screenwriters to change the script.
What screenwriters write is often not what they want to write, but what others ask them to write.
It’s like this, but when there is a problem with the TV series or something, everyone still scolds the screenwriter.
Screenwriter Li is already a well-known screenwriter, but she still encountered such a thing, which naturally made countless people angry.
When they got to know more about it, they found that screenwriter Li was writing a script for Gu Shihao.
Digging deeper… Gu Shihao actually drove away the investors and chose Su Moxiu as the male lead?
Is Gu Shihao crazy?
Su Moxiu has no acting skills. When acting, he would read his lines with a paralyzed face. Some people used him as emoticons, which were ‘silence is golden’, ‘expressionless’, ‘look at you coldly’ and so on.
He acted in a web drama with a paralyzed face, which made people feel that he couldn’t act, now acting in a movie? Is this a joke?
“Director Gu’s films over the past few years are worse than the others.”
“How good is ‘Best Picture’? It is one of the best movies in my opinion, but watching many of his later films, I watched most of them halfway through before I couldn’t continue anymore.”
“The previous IP drama has already made me regret buying movie tickets. I don’t know what will be filmed this time!”
“Is he giving up on himself, or is he crazy?”
“Is it because the gold master behind Su Moxiu is too powerful?”
“So powerful that Director Gu drove away other investors and insisted on using Su Moxiu? Is this possible? I think this is fake news.”
“I also think it’s fake news. Director Gu is not such a person.”
…
Although Gu Shihao had just botched a drama, everyone still understood him very well. They felt that he didn’t make that drama well because it wasn’t suitable for him.
Therefore, many people came to Gu Shihao’s Weibo and asked Gu Shihao what was going on.
Yan Jingze has not seen any of this news yet.
After he had auditioned all the actors who hadn’t left, he looked at Su Moxiu: “AXiu, let’s go to dinner together?”
Liu Leyan was about to help Su Moxiu refuse, Su Moxiu said: “Okay.”
Liu Leyan could only say: “Director Gu, our AXiu is a bit picky about what he eats. He doesn’t like braised food. It’s better to have a better color.”
“When the time comes, just ask AXiu to order.” Yan Jingze laughed, “I’m not picky about food, I’ll eat whatever AXiu eats.”
“Then thank you Director Gu.” Liu Leyan said.
“Thank you.” Su Moxiu followed suit.
Yan Jingze stared at Su Moxiu for a while, then took Su Moxiu to a restaurant and asked Su Moxiu to order.
Su Moxiu ordered a beautiful dish and ate it very seriously.
Yan Jingze was also very hungry, so he asked someone to serve a large bowl of noodles. After finishing it quickly, he continued to stare at Su Moxiu.
When Su Moxiu had breakfast this morning, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but he didn’t think much about it at the time.
After spending a few hours together now…He was sure that Su Moxiu should have encountered a little trouble in this reincarnation.
But even so, Su Moxiu is still Su Moxiu.
He still takes it easy.
Yan Jingze didn’t know why Zhou Liming wanted to harm Gu Shihao, but he needed to accumulate power as soon as possible, so there were a lot of things to do.
As for chasing him…He has too many things to do now, and he still has to quit his drug addiction, so he will take it easy for now.
He didn’t want his wife to see him in a mess!
After dinner, Yan Jingze went back to the hotel room and began to deal with various things.
First of all, the contract must be terminated with Mr. Wang, and secondly, all the original owner’s assistants must be fired.
Yan Jingze was busy, but at the same time, he didn’t forget to take out the tablet that the original owner used to watch the show, setting it out to watch Su Moxiu’s variety show.
Su Moxiu in the variety show was a little dumbfounded, but after watching for a while, Yan Jingze found that Su Moxiu had certain interpersonal communication problems.
He is not very good at getting along with people, and his cognition is also slightly different from those around him, but the symptoms are very mild, so most people didn’t notice it.
At least neither his anti-fans nor his fans found out.
If he didn’t know Su Moxiu well enough, he definitely wouldn’t be able to see it.
After glancing at the variety show, Yan Jingze continued to talk with people.
Mr. Wang was irritated by Yan Jingze, so he readily agreed to terminate the contract. Several other investors who were close to Mr. Wang also terminated the contract one after another.
The movie hadn’t started filming yet, so none of their funds had reached the original owner yet. Terminating the contract at this time would mean nothing to them.
However, Mr. Wang and the others are willing to terminate the contract, but Zhou Liming disagrees. After Yan Jingze sent a message, he called: “Shihao, no matter what kind of movie you want to make, I can support you…What is your new movie going to be about?”
“I haven’t decided what to shoot for my new movie yet, so let’s leave it like this.” Yan Jingze hung up the phone directly.
He had originally planned to set up a new project, but the project he signed with Zhou Liming was put on hold indefinitely.
If Zhou Liming doesn’t terminate the contract, he won’t terminate the contract. It has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Yan Jingze also thought of the original owner’s assistant.
Why should he fire him, he should just be put on hold for a period, then just throw him there!
It is quite interesting to say that the original owner did not sign a work contract with his assistant.
The original owner hadn’t read any books. Although he studied hard later, what he learned was how to direct and edit. He didn’t know much about contracts and the like.
Even if he formed his own team later, because some people from his hometown like to talk about favors, the two parties didn’t sign any contracts, so he just paid them.
In order to avoid tax, he even gave cash to some of them according to their requirements.
These people actually got a lot of benefits from the original owner, but they really appreciate the rice but hate that it’s not enough1The meaning here is like you give a starving man a bowl of rice but if you continue to give them rice to live better, they will hate you for not giving enough. After the original owner’s accident, they entered Zhou Liming’s company and stayed away from the original owner.
He doesn’t know whether to call them realistic or to call them white-eyed wolves.
Yan Jingze took out his mobile phone and called the person who helped the original owner when he was down in his previous life: “I have a movie I want to make, would you like to be a part of it? I don’t have enough funds here, and I may not be able to pay.”
“Director Gu, I will definitely come!” The people who received the call from Yan Jingze basically agreed.
Yan Jingze took care of all this before he had time to pay attention to the news on the Internet, only to find that…it was very popular.
Quite good.
Just treat it as someone promoting his new drama for free!
Also…drugs can damage the brain and nerves, so it’s perfectly normal for people who take drugs to get high.
Yan Jingze posted several Weibos in a row: “I did have a conflict with the screenwriter. I found that I couldn’t shoot the script she wrote, so I had to reluctantly give up the deposit I gave in the early stage and find a new script.”
“I did invite Su Moxiu to join my new movie.”
“I have decided, I want to make a milestone movie!”
After posting three little posts like this, Yan Jingze watched Su Moxiu’s variety show while replying to netizens’ comments on the Internet, then fought with the netizens for 300 rounds.
Someone ridiculed him that his new movie would flop, he replied: “Are you Aristotle’s sister, so much shit!”
Someone made a long commentary on his talent, and the words they used were very bad. He replied: “Although the brain looks a bit like the large intestine, you shouldn’t stuff the large intestine into the brain.”
For those netizens who just expressed concern or reasoned, Yan Jingze didn’t hate them, he would reply ‘thank you for your concern’.
However, for those who scolded him, or Su Moxiu, he rolled up his sleeves and said, “Don’t think that you can cover up the fact that you are an idiot just because you get tanned!”
“I really don’t know how to communicate with you who haven’t evolved into a human.”
“Let’s have time to eat fish together, you are very good at picking bones!”
“You must be very good at playing mahjong, so good at it!”
…
When Yan Jingze did this, the netizens were naturally furious. There were more people who troubled him, but Yan Jingze faced the siege, one against ten thousand enemies, he did not back down.
He even became more and more courageous, and was still ‘fighting’ online in the middle of the night.
The onlookers were stunned — isn’t Director Gu too energetic?!
Gu Shihao is young and has no qualifications, so he has always been very humble in the past few years. What he did today is very amazing.
Everyone couldn’t help wondering, is he…really crazy?
Zhou Liming quietly watched the ‘battle situation’ on the Internet.
Gu Shihao didn’t follow the path he designed, which made him a little annoyed, but now, his heart has calmed down again.
Taking out a slender cigarette and lighting it, Zhou Liming chuckled.
High after taking drugs? In the past two days, Gu Shihao really seemed to be a different person.
On the other side, Liu Leyan and Su Moxiu also saw what Yan Jingze said.
“It’s so cool! Director Gu is too good at swearing! Oh my god!” Liu Leyan screamed excitedly.
Su Moxiu has a lot of black fans, always scolding Su Moxiu on the Internet.
But to be honest, Su Moxiu has never done anything wrong to them, why are they scolding so much!
She always wanted to scold back before, but even if she put on a vest and scolded with a trumpet, the other party might fight back, causing Su Moxiu to be scolded even more, so she could only bear it silently.
Seeing Director Gu swearing at people now is really great!
Su Moxiu was a little puzzled — how did Gu Shihao know that others were good at picking bones and playing mahjong? How did he know when others got tanned? Also, did Aristotle have a sister?
He thought for a long time and searched on Baidu again before realizing that Gu Shihao was swearing.
How can he say that…
Su Moxiu saw that some netizens had sorted out the ‘Direction Gu’s Quote’ and immediately collected them, then recited them silently.
Yan Jingze was actually not high at this time, but very uncomfortable.
His drug addiction kicked in.
This thing is really uncomfortable!
The original owner is actually a person with strong willpower, if not for this, he would not have been able to rise from the bottom in his previous life.
But even so, he wanted to quit drugs countless times later, but he still couldn’t quit. If he quit forcibly, he couldn’t help but relapse.
It was in this process that he became more and more depraved, and his body and mind fell to the bottom.
This thing is really scary…
Yan Jingze’s teeth were trembling. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to stab himself a few times.
He didn’t have the energy to gossip with the netizens anymore, so he only held the tablet and watched Su Moxiu’s variety show in the end.
Looking at it, his thoughts became fuzzy.
Yan Jingze felt that his body was very painful so he couldn’t really fall asleep, but when he felt better and opened his eyes, he found that several hours had passed.
He was probably asleep.
A new day has come, and there are more things waiting for him to do.
For example, he needs to contact an intermediary to sell the 300-square-meter penthouse duplex that the original owner bought.
After the original owner made some money, he felt that he would be able to earn more in the future, so he took out a loan to buy a house worth more than 20 million yuan, plus decorations…It was okay when he earn a lot before, but now he earns less, his flow of funds is almost a problem.
In addition, those luxuries of the original owner will also be sold.
Yan Jingze packed his luggage and was about to go back to have a look. When he walked out of the room, he met Su Moxiu again.
“AXiu, it’s so early…you want to check out too?” Yan Jingze asked when he saw Su Moxiu pulling a suitcase.
Su Moxiu nodded, and asked: “You drove away all the investors, is there a lack of investment?”
“It’s not bad…” Yan Jingze said. If all the original owner’s belongings were sold, it would be about 20 million, so it was quite enough.
“I’ll invest for you.” Su Moxiu said.
Yan JingZe was taken aback for a moment, and then said, “Okay! How much do you want to invest, AXiu?”
Su Moxiu asked: “How much do you want? Is 100 million enough?” He made a lot of money in his seven or eight years of acting, especially in the last few years, whether it was appearance fees for participating in activities or endorsement fees, they were sky-high.
His company is very small, so the contract given to him is relatively loose, and he can get more shares!
Of course, he was able to spend so much money mainly because he has been investing since he made money.
In addition to stock funds and so on…He was worried that he would make others lose money by filming dramas, so he even invested in the online dramas he filmed.
Then…the drama with the least profit got back double the money invested.
Although his acting skills are not good, the plots of those online dramas are good, and some of them are simply funny sand sculptures, and there were quite a lot of people watching it. Later, some people on the Internet said that his acting skills were poor, so there are also many people who were attracted to watch the TV series he acted in.
Then they scolded him while watching.
Yan Jingze: “…” What should he be selling the house for? Isn’t it delicious to eat soft rice?!
“AXiu, so you are so rich! Please raise me!” Yan Jingze said without hesitation.
Su Moxiu thought for a while and said, “Raising is not very good, this kind of relationship is not equal.”
