Chapter 79 Solve the sequelae

It’s okay to favor boys over girls.

Be it superstition or evil ways.

In short, there is such a rule that has been circulating among the crew.

Actresses must never sit in the camera box, no matter how famous they are.

It is said that if an actress sits in the camera box, everyone and everything in the crew will become unlucky.

Jiang Liu certainly knew about this unwritten rule of the crew. He had even personally informed some of the actresses on the crew before.

But if you ask him whether he believes it or not, I can only say he is doubtful.

He believes in science, but he is also afraid of some inexplicable and unspeakable things.

As for Qin Lan, the initiator of breaking the rules, Jiang Liu had a headache.

The photographer was extremely dissatisfied with this matter and was extremely angry. After all, he spent the most time in contact with the camera. If he was unlucky, he would most likely win the prize.

But Jiang Liu couldn't kick Qin Lan out of the crew just because of such an incident. It would be too much to make a fuss.

"I'll ask He Jing to make a brazier. Let's all step in front of the hotel to get rid of bad luck. Besides, Qin Lan, your travel expenses and catering expenses, and Lao Hao, you will go to Suzhou Hanshan Temple tomorrow to burn incense and explain to all the gods. It’s clear, Qin Lan and we didn’t do it on purpose, so don’t blame me, what do you think?”

"That's all." The photographer said.

Qin Lan was so frightened that he lost his mind. When Jiang Liu said this, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "I will do whatever the director tells me."

"Then let's do this. Everyone get in the car and go back. The car will stop in front of the hotel."

Jiang Liu waved his hand and climbed onto the passenger seat.

He Jing did things neatly, and when Jiang Liu and his party returned to the hotel, the brazier was ready.

The scene of dozens of people lining up to cross the brazier in the middle of the night looked both scary and funny.

As Jiang Liu crossed the brazier, He Jing came over and said, "Ge You accepted the script of "Mobile Phone" and the salary was very high."

"How many?"

"500."

Jiang Liu was speechless: "It's too high, I can accept 350 to 400 million."

In this era, there is no doubt that the Cannes best actor and actor Ge You has the ability to attract box office, and he belongs to the first echelon in the country.

"Mobile Phone" lacks the soul character Ge You, and even Jiang Liu would not dare to boast of a box office of 5000 to [-] million yuan.

But the salary of 500 million is really too high.

A beautiful courtyard house in the capital only costs around 200 million.

"Then I set the minimum limit at 380 million for negotiation. Another thing is that Cui Dayuan somehow read the script of "Cell Phone" and asked me for my phone number. His tone was very bad, so he didn't give it to me."

After entering the hotel, He Jing said abruptly.

Jiang Liu thought for a moment: "Give it, it's no big deal."

Ever since he decided to film "Cell Phone", Jiang Liu realized that Cui Dayuan would come to his door.

After all, Liu Zhenyun wrote "Mobile Phone" through Xiao Cui, the most popular host at the moment.

Sooner or later, people will find him.

He also made plans for this matter.

First of all, he would not try to confront Cui Dayuan, because the gains would outweigh the losses.

This person was a little too brave. The reason why Hua Yi and Feng Dapao were punished so badly was because they underestimated this person's courage and destructive power.

Now that Jiang Liu is fully aware that there is such a person who likes Dragon Quest, of course he should try not to provoke him as much as possible. The most important thing is to be kind and get rich.

Therefore, when Cui Dayuan came to the door, Jiang Liu thought that if the other party was not too angry, everyone would sit down and have a good chat and discuss slightly changing the script.

Films should be made or made. For artistic creation, it is normal to reflect certain people and social phenomena.Even if the lawsuit reaches the High Court, Yixin cannot be sentenced.

If the other party insists not to talk.

Jiang Liu will not give up filming "Cell Phone" either.

At worst, I'll throw away the script after filming, and don't do any secondary creation to stimulate others again.

However, according to Jiang Liu's expectation, once "Mobile Phone" is a box office success, Huayi will far outweigh his greed and will never give up on secondary creation.

Until then, he can just sit back and watch the storm unfold.

In this way, he not only made money but also defeated and weakened a major future opponent.

So, let’s talk first.

Sure enough, the next day, Cui Dayuan called Jiang Liu's mobile phone.

However, the other party's tone was quite calm.

He even had the time to joke that Jiang Liu was too busy. He was currently filming a movie and started preparing for a movie. He was a master of time.

Jiang Liu laughed loudly and said: "Looking at the situation, it seems that Host Cui is not too busy, why not try to be the leading actor? I am scratching my head about the actor in "Cell Phone"."

"Truth or lies, my salary is high."

"Is 200 million enough?"

"It's too much. Let's forget it. I'll be the leading actor for you. I'm sure you'll screw it up."

After exchanging a few familiar words with each other, Xiao Cui got down to business:

"Director Jiang Liu, I have read the script of "Mobile Phone" and I personally think some of the plots are not very good. First of all, it does not conform to our country's emphasis on the spread of positive social energy in literary and artistic works."

"Secondly, I think some plots seem to be alluding to me, which will mislead the audience and cause trouble to many people in the future."

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and said, "There is no innuendo. Most of the plots in the script are about exposing the desires and contradictions of human nature. This is a satirical movie."

"But if Host Cui blindly thinks that it is a deliberate insinuation, then I will not be able to defend myself. Even later creators will not be able to defend themselves as long as they touch such a subject and the protagonist is the host. After all, the story revolves around the host."

"unless."

"Unless I leave the host position, right?" Cui Dayuan said with a smile.

"Not necessarily. If Teacher Cui was unknown and not so famous, I wouldn't think he was insinuating you."

"It seems that I also have some problems. Okay, Director Jiang has solved my doubts. I wish Director Jiang a big hit at the box office. Please don't refuse to be on my show when the time comes."

"Definitely." Jiang Liu chuckled.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Liu let out a soft "heh" and murmured to himself, "I'm afraid you'll want to hack me to death with a knife."

After solving the sequelae of "Cell Phone", Jiang Liu was about to return to the set, but before he could hand it over to his assistant, his cell phone rang again.

"Hey, I'm Jiang Liu, who are you?"

"Jiang Liu, I threw away the mobile phone card with your number on it. This is a new number."

Jiang Liu's familiar voice came from the phone's microphone.

In the intermittent words, Jiang Liu could hear the apology and guilt coming from Li Xing.

He also seemed to see Li Xing, who was bulging his cheeks and looking aggrieved, walking towards him.

Jiang Liu didn't say anything bad, he smiled and joked: "Did you hate me to death at that time?"

Li Xin whispered: "No, just a little."

"It's just a little bit. That's still worthy of forgiveness. What's wrong with you? Tell me what kind of human relationships you went through after you returned home before you threw away your phone and hid in your hometown."

Jiang Liu motioned to Zhang Yongxin to take the photo first, and walked onto the avenue next to the villa with his mobile phone in hand.
