Perfect Superstar
Chapter 487 Breaking the contract
A formal film crew has a rather complicated composition of members. In addition to actors, it also includes producers, production directors, directors, producers, planners, art directors, photographers, and so on.
In addition, there are drama managers, makeup artists, art engineers, lighting engineers, prop artists...
With the addition of logistics and financial assistants, the number can easily exceed one hundred, and several hundred are common.
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is relatively small, because there are not many characters in the play, so the number of actors is relatively small, but there must be no one missing.
Except for the dozen or so members of Lu Chen's studio, most of the crew members were dispatched by Jiayang Films, and some of them were temporarily hired by the latter and were not affiliated with Jiayang Films.
This is normal, otherwise, with the scale and strength of Jiayang Films, it would be impossible to support so many people. Even a large film company will pay attention to controlling the number of employees.
In the film and television industry, there are special agency companies responsible for solving this problem. Once a certain film company needs people for a new project, whether it is actors, screenwriters, cameras, recordings, or even directors, they can all be hired through intermediaries. Save money to the greatest extent.
There were five people who suddenly proposed to quit the production crew. They were all assistant logistics handymen, and they were not considered important figures. The production crew could still operate without them.
But this is undoubtedly a dangerous signal. The incident of the cat being thrown to death on the set has caused the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to become very unstable, and the filming plan is facing serious obstacles.
But the matter was not over yet. In the afternoon, the tool truck parked in the parking lot of the film and television city was punctured by someone, and all four tires were punctured!
This car was driven by Zhang Xiaofang to buy lunch yesterday and at noon, and the saboteur's intentions were very obvious.
"Call the police!"
Lu Chen said to Chen Wenqiang: "You can complain to the Film and Television City Management Committee again."
Lu Chen was able to bear the loss of a dead cat on the set in the morning, but now he can't bear it anymore!
He knew very well that neither calling the police nor making a complaint would definitely solve the problem. Even if the troublemakers were caught, they would not be severely punished. They would be released from prison after a few days of fines, and they could continue to wreak havoc.
What's more, it is still unknown whether the perpetrator can be found.
This is not a criminal case.
As long as Honghua's side harassed so frequently, it would be enough to make the crew restless, and there was no way to feel at ease in filming.
The most disgusting thing about these gangs and associations is that they can still achieve their goals without resorting to violent means of fighting and killing.
In the face of such troubles, if the production team does not have strong enough connections, they may have to bow their heads and give in, or pay the protection fee in full, or share the benefits in order to avoid disaster.
Lu Chen also thought about spending money to avoid disaster, but if the other party pushes forward, things will definitely not go well.
Calling the police and complaining is to show that he will never bow his head!
Chen Wenqiang nodded: "I'll deal with it right away, but..."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "But if there is no direct evidence, we'd better not testify against Honghua."
Even if you think about it with your toes, everyone can think that Honghua sent someone to do this, but knowing it is one thing, and testifying to the police and the management of the film and television city is another.
If you testify without evidence, you will definitely be accused of reputation damage by the other party. These gangs and associations have learned the lessons of their predecessors and started companies, factories and industries. They have hired lawyers to act as amulets, and they are very good at using legal means to achieve their goals.
Maybe Honghua is eager for the crew to complain to them!
Chen Wenqiang's explanation opened Lu Chen's horizons. It turns out that today's underworld can play like this.
But at this point, he couldn't allow him to back down.
Just as Chen Wenqiang took out his phone to call the police, his cell phone rang suddenly.
He connected and said a few words, and his expression suddenly changed.
The other party quickly hung up.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Chen keenly sensed that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Did something happen again?"
Chen Wenqiang nodded with a wry smile, and replied: "Liu Zhaohui is no longer acting, he quit the crew."
Liu Zhaohui is the actor who plays the tree spirit's grandmother. He is a native of Xiangjiang. He has played countless roles in his debut decades. He is well-known for playing villains and supporting roles. Lu Chen has seen this many times before watching Xiangjiang movies.
The cast of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be described as weak, and Lau Siu-fai can be considered a small player.
Since Liu Zhaohui didn't have any part in the scene these two days, he was not on the set, but obviously he knew what happened here, so he took the initiative to back down.
This kind of veteran drama is usually very trustworthy. If you lose your reputation in this industry, then no crew will be willing to hire it, which is equivalent to smashing your own job.
If it weren't for the great pressure, Liu Zhaohui would definitely not break the contract like this.
"Fuck/his grandma!"
The more Chen Wenqiang thought about it, the angrier he became, and couldn't help but swear.
The original character was really a "grandmother", Lu Chen was almost amused by Chen Wenqiang's swear words.
"Didn't Liu Zhaohui be invited by Jiayang?"
This role was won by Jiayang Films during the negotiations. Now that Liu Zhaohui broke the contract, it also slapped Jiayang Films in the face. Can Jiayang remain indifferent?
Chen Wenqiang smiled bitterly: "It was the people from Jiayang who informed me."
Then there is no way to undo it!
Lu Chen also had the urge to scold grandma. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Qiang, please don't call the police, please bring Uncle Ma here."
Chen Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Lu Chen meant.
Liu Zhaohui ran away, and if Ma Rongzhen, a more important supporting actor, also ran away, then most of the crew would be paralyzed, and it would be a complete mess.
Compared with Liu Zhaohui, who is doing well in the circle, Ma Rongzhen, who has been on the street, is probably weaker in resisting pressure, right?
So at this time, Lu Chen can't mess up his position. If he wants to find ways to stabilize the morale of the army, the first step is to ensure that important characters like Ma Rongzhen don't make mistakes.
Ma Rongzhen will come soon.
He is also a supporting role, and also has no shots to shoot for the time being. Ma Rongzhen is different from Liu Zhaohui who disappeared after the opening ceremony. He has been with the crew and even helped with some odd jobs.
Perhaps because of the loss, Ma Rong really knows how to cherish this opportunity. He doesn't talk about it, but uses actions to show his efforts.
"Young Master Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Chen asked straight to the point: "Uncle Ma, did someone ask you to leave the set?"
