I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 72 [People are gone]

"Manager Zhang, you are finally back."

When Zhang Xueming's plane returned to Beijing in the afternoon, it was already close to midnight.

However, instead of going home to rest, she arrived at the company immediately.

"Boss Hu and Li PD broke down, and it was because of... the price."

Team Leader Wang has already waited for the issue of Light and Shadow Media in advance.

Seeing Zhang Xueming get out of the car, he hurried over.

President Hu, Hu Yue, is her aunt, the vice president of Guangying Media.

And Li PD is the producer of "Slanting Moon".

"Hasn't the price been negotiated before?" Zhang Xueming frowned, and walked towards the company, the high-heeled shoes stepped on the ground and made a 'slap-tap-tap-tap' sound. "Our price is much cheaper than other companies."

"Yes."

Team Leader Wang followed her closely, "But for some reason, PD Li suddenly called again and lowered it by [-] percent."

"The price is already very low. If we press it again, let alone make money, we will lose money."

"We are in charge of the post-production work. After the work is over, we have to pay for it. How can there be such a reason, so Mr. Hu is in a hurry, and the words are more...direct."

After speaking, he paused, "You know that the producers of big productions like "Slanted Moon" all have tempers."

"Then, the two quarreled on the phone for a few words."

"Manager Zhang, I tried to stop Mr. Hu with gestures, but it didn't work."

Zhang Xueming was silent and stepped forward.

After a while, she got on the elevator before she replied aloud, "...Have you checked the recording of the call?"

"Mr. Hu, sometimes you are more impulsive."

"but……"

Zhang Xueming asked, "There is nothing wrong with the fact that Party A has a big temper."

"But Boss Hu won't be able to, just a few words will directly quarrel with the opposite party."

"Besides, it's still by phone."

The more people there are, the easier it is for those who want to save face to lose control of their temper.

But this kind of private call between two people, is there such a temper?
Hu Yue is her aunt, and her working ability is indeed relatively average.

Zhang Xueming is very clear about this.

If Guangying Media was not a semi-family business, she probably wouldn't be able to take the position of vice president.

It may be average in strength, and it will not be rude enough to quarrel with the partner.

What's more, in order to cooperate smoothly, they have put in a lot of effort on Li PD's side, and they get along well.

"No call log..."

Team Leader Wang was a little embarrassed.

This is the most helpless place. No one knows what the other party said on the phone.

They can only roughly confirm the content from Hu Yue's reply.

"However, Li PD has been stuck on not signing the contract."

He went on to say, "This kind of sudden price reduction is also expected."

"But it's not too much pressure."

Back in the office, Zhang Xueming was a little helpless, which almost meant that the project fell through.

"By the way, for the "Curse" crew, there will be a part of the scene that needs to be communicated with some local leaders in Taicheng."

"You are responsible for this matter."

"Try to negotiate with the local tourism promotion."

Team Leader Wang was a little confused, "Huh?"

Zhang Xueming sat on the office chair, raised her eyes and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"no……"

Team Leader Wang asked anxiously, "Manager, what time is it now? The production amount of "Curse" is at most 2000 million, but what about "Slanted Moon"? That is at least a unit of [-] million, and there is no comparison between the two."

"You don't want me to pay attention to the oblique moon, but to help that small crew."

"Isn't this a lost watermelon and went to pick up sesame seeds?"

"Also, what does it mean to negotiate with the local leaders in Taicheng?"

"As an investor, do we have to take care of helping their crew solve this kind of thing?"

As he spoke, he realized something, "Is it because of Director Lu?"

"But no matter how strong Director Lu's directing ability is, he can't compare to Director Zhang Changmou, right?"

He remembered that Zhang Xueming had always admired Lu Zhengyi's directing ability.

And think that his value is higher than the crew itself.

And Zhang Xueming's face was very calm, "An accident happened to a crew of Xie Yue, so we have to put down everything we are doing and just focus on it?"

"What are you panicking about? It's just a project. If you really can't hold it, if you lose it, then talk about something else."

"Only us as investors, why should we help to do this? That's because it's worth it, and this project is worth our money."

As for Lu Zhengyi.

She didn't explain.

Regarding the fact that his directing ability is very average, the less people know about it, the better.

"understood."

Although group leader Wang was a little reluctant, but after all, it was the task of the leader, he nodded silently and agreed.

As for the fact that the project that he was a matchmaker failed to negotiate, Lu Zhengyi didn't know.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't do anything about it.

Judging from Zhang Changmou's attitude when drinking tea last time, he didn't want to get involved in such commercial matters, but just wanted to make the film well.

Therefore, even if Lu Zhengyi knew that Guangying Media did not get the post-project of "Slanting Moon", he would not help to say anything.

Besides, he still has a lot of things to do at hand, so he has no time to help others.

His subordinates are not as talented as Zhang Xueming.

Without the crew he was staring at, Lu Zhengyi couldn't imagine what it would be like.

The shooting in the rental house went smoothly because there was no need to move around.

Half a month of shooting time passed quietly.

"Are you really going to your hometown to take pictures?"

On the set, Yu Wenxiu held a small notebook with one hand, and said the lines in the script with a vivid expression and tone, "Won't your grandpa and grandma disagree?"

"People of their older generation are feudal superstitions."

Opposite her, Zhang Yuming was also holding a script, "What about fairy children, Buddha mothers, and great immortals are all lies."

"They have never been out of the mountains in their entire lives, have never read a book, and have a very low level of education."

"We used to counterfeit some supernatural games by ourselves, and the traffic we attracted was very limited. This time, we can have a whole village of people help us 'act'. It's a big production, and it will definitely be popular."

Compared with Yu Wenxiu, his line skills and performance are a bit stiffer.

When the rest of the crew is cleaning up the room, setting up the scene, lighting, and camera positions.

These actors play against each other with scripts.

And the content in it is not limited to the plot of this rental building, but also some content that will be involved in the later location shooting.

very serious.

No matter who came to the crew and saw this scene, they would sincerely sigh.

After all, when the staff is cleaning up the venue and preparing to shoot, it seems that the actors are playing around with each other, playing with their mobile phones, and taking photos together, which seems to be the norm in this circle.

Different.

As a person who really loves this industry and has persisted for so many years, Yu Wenxiu feels like a fish in water in this atmosphere.

"But...how come there are only so many people in the crew today?"

There was some doubt on her face.

In the past, according to Lu Zhengyi's request, not only all the staff members of the crew must be present, but even the actors cannot be late.

For other crews, only the actors who have a role in the day will go to work.

But the crew of "The Curse" is different, even if they don't have a role in the film, they still have to participate in the filming period.

But today, it seems different.

Not only are there fewer staff members, but there are also fewer actors.

"...Director Lu must have his reasons for making such an arrangement."

Originally, Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming, who were playing each other, had a look of embarrassment.

Then, before they could say anything more.

In the distance, Lu Zhengyi, who was talking to Zhang Yu, stood up and walked towards them.
