China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 60

"You guys come here and take Brother Rong to the hospital."

Wang Lin waved, pointed at the few people he brought and said:
"Everyone who is injured should go to the hospital together. Don't hide it. I will pay for the medical expenses."

If such a big thing happened on the set, he must be responsible as a producer, and those injured are all Xianggang people.

To put it bluntly but realistically, their injuries are more serious than those of mainlanders.

If it gets too big, it won't be easy for him to explain, so he must calm down first.

"no need!"

Cao Rong was supported by his men and walked outside:

"Boss Wang, I can just go to the hospital by myself, and you don't have to pay for the medical expenses. I, Cao Rong, am not short of the money, but you must give me an explanation for this matter.

Lin Xuan injured me, but I can tolerate it considering the overall situation.But I brought my brothers out to make money. Now that my brothers are injured, I must give them an explanation. "

Wow, these words are so domineering and loyal.

The martial arts practitioners were so moved after hearing this that they gathered around him and shouted "Brother Rong, Brother Rong", wishing they could suffer this injury for him.

Wang Lin's expression instantly turned ugly.

He offered to pay the medical bills just to express his apology.

But Cao Rong refused to accept this in front of everyone, and asked where to put his face.

Cao Rong didn't care about this. After pretending to be cool, he left the set with a dozen people cheering.

Some martial arts practitioners did not forget to turn around and raise their middle fingers at them.

Wang Lin sighed helplessly, looked back at Lin Xuan, and asked, "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and rubbed his belly: "It was just one punch, nothing serious."

When he fights, his muscles all over his body are tense. Although this is a common problem for novices and is not conducive to punching with force, fortunately, he can withstand some damage.

"Hey, you kid, you really know how to cause trouble." Wang Lin sighed irritably.

The lead actor and director was injured, and there were many conflicts between the mainland extras and the Hong Kong martial arts actors. How could we film this crappy show?

Lin Xuan was unhappy when he heard this and said seriously: "Producer Wang, it's not that I want to cause trouble. He discriminates against mainlanders, and I tolerate it. He changes the show randomly, and I tolerate it too."

But there are some things that you can't bear. You can't bear it if he rides on your head and shits you. "

Wang Lin also knew that Lin Xuan was not entirely to blame for this matter, but he was just a little irritated.

"Okay, okay, I understand. You should go back to the hotel and rest first. We will discuss everything after the chief director and screenwriter come over in the evening."

Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, and then waved to Ma Yashu and Juanzi.

The two beauties still had tears on their faces, obviously frightened by this sudden battle of a hundred people.

"Are you okay? Don't you really need to go to the hospital?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It's okay. Do you have your camera with you?"

Ma Yashu shook his head and Juanzi nodded.

"Lend it to me."

Juanzi ran back to the lounge to get the camera.

Lin Xuan took the camera, pointed to the thermos bucket and the mess on the ground and said:

"I have to record the evidence to prevent that bastard from biting me back."

After taking a dozen photos and leaving evidence, Lin Xuan followed the troops back to the hotel.

After Wang Baoqiang arrived at the hotel, he went outside to buy him safflower oil ointment.

…………

After applying medicine to the wound, Lin Xuan lay alone on the hotel bed, thinking about the next thing.

There is no doubt that Cao Rong will never be able to swallow this breath.

It is impossible for the crew to offend the lead actor and director for a small actor.

Therefore, the lightest punishment for him is to apologize and terminate the contract.

This is just about the crew, and as Cao Rong is a famous martial arts instructor in Xianggang and a winner of the Golden Horse Award, it is impossible to let him go like this.

If you think about it from another person's perspective, you should at least inform the entire industry so that Lin Xuan will be disgraced in the entire circle and he will never be able to film in the future.

Lin Xuan's points were all earned through filming. If he was fired from the entire industry, it would be a waste of time.

He thought for a moment and decided to call Wang Jinhua.

"Sister Hua, it's me..."

Lin Xuan cleared his mind and told Wang Jinhua exactly what happened to the crew these days.

Somewhat surprisingly, Wang Jinhua didn't become hysterical or scold him after hearing this.

Instead, he asked calmly: "Those photos are all in your hands."

Lin Xuan said: "Of course, these are evidence."

Wang Jinhua said: "Very good, you can find a computer immediately and send me the photos in it via email... You can use a computer."

"Of course I will, I just don't have the money to buy it." Lin Xuan chuckled.

Hearing Wang Jinhua's calm tone, Lin Xuan knew that she could handle the matter well, and felt relieved.

"It's better to buy one when you get paid. It will make it easier to communicate in the future. Besides, online forums are the most important forum for public opinion besides print media."

"Okay Sister Hua, I understand." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement and then asked: "Sister Hua, aren't you angry when I fight with someone?"

"What's the use of being angry? You've beaten me, so I can only find a way to solve it. Don't be so impulsive in the future." Wang Jinhua sighed and added:
"And those Xiangkang people are really disgusting. Besides, it's not entirely a bad thing."

Lin Xuan became interested: "How do you say this?"

"Don't worry about it. You'll know in a few days. Just stay calm these days and stop causing trouble."

"Don't worry, I won't go out in the hotel these days."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan went out with his camera and came to the hotel's computer room.

Like Internet cafes outside, you can also pay to surf the Internet here.

It's just that the Internet fee is more expensive than outside, 20 yuan an hour. Fortunately, the Internet speed is okay.

After transferring the photo files to Wang Jinhua's mailbox, Lin Xuan took a look at the current online chat room.

Currently, the most popular online platforms are the three major portals: Xinlang, Souhu, and Wangyi.

There are also online forums such as Tianya Community, Xici Hutong, Maopu, and Shuimu Tsinghua University.The daily traffic of these forums is considerable, and the forum sections are also diverse, covering everything from chat to discussion.

For private network communication, of course it is the famous OICQ, the predecessor of QQ.

Today, the number of registered users of OICQ has exceeded [-], and it is still increasing rapidly. It is expected to exceed one million by the end of the year.

Lin Xuan registered accounts on several major platforms, and then browsed the Internet casually to see what netizens of this era like to talk about.

This behavior is still called surfing the Internet.

…………

At around six o'clock in the evening, director Li Yuan, screenwriter Qian Yanqiu, and management representatives rushed here in a hurry.

When they came to the hotel, they first found Wang Lin and Lin Xuan to understand the causes and consequences of the conflict.

Lin Xuan sat up straight, so he had nothing to hide.

Reveal all the bad things Cao Rong has done these days.

Discriminating against mainlanders, wasting food, and insulting orphans, these three crimes together, beating him up is considered a minor crime.

After hearing this, the chief director Li Yuan looked a little worried, mainly because he was worried about the next shooting.

Judging from Lin Xuan's description, this matter may not be easy to solve, not to mention that the leading actor has already lost his appearance.

It will take at least a week for the wound on his face to recover, which will have a huge impact on the crew's shooting plan.

Qian Yanqiu, on the other hand, ignored the matter and gave Lin Xuan an approving wink.

He is just a screenwriter, but he is in a free-range state. The way the show is shot has nothing to do with him.

If he hadn't been good friends with Li Yuan, he wouldn't have even wanted to change the second draft of the script.

The most angry ones are the management, the investors of this drama, the big boss.

He accused Lin Xuan face to face of being impulsive and bad, and that he shouldn't hit people, and even dragged him to apologize.

Lin Xuan understood him. After all, the big boss invested 1400 million in this project, part of which was a loan.

This is 99 million in 1400!

People were still expecting to make money from this drama, but Lin Xuan ended up doing this.

But I understand, but it's impossible to ask him to apologize.

The big boss tried to persuade him several times, but Lin Xuan still refused.

Seeing that another conflict was about to happen, Wang Lin was probably afraid that Lin Xuan would beat the boss again, so he quickly dragged the big boss out and said that he would go and see Cao Rong first.

The others left, leaving only Qian Yanqiu and Lin Xuan in the room.

Lao Qian looked at him and laughed a few times, giving a thumbs up:
"How dare you hit someone from Hong Kong? You're awesome! I jumped up with joy when I heard the news. You are now No. 1 in the circle!"

Lin Xuan was amused by this title and said with a smile:

"Stop making trouble. I'm annoyed. I'm going to be fired."

"Don't be afraid. If you don't mind it, you can join my crew if I'm fired." Lao Qian patted his chest proudly:

"My brother is also quite capable. I can't guarantee that there will be one male and one male. You can choose between three and four males."

"Really?"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, Lao Qian is so powerful.

Qian Yanqiu rolled his eyes: "Why are you bragging?"

He was afraid that Lin Xuan wouldn't believe it, so he simply revealed a few words about the drama he was about to start filming.

Lao Qian comes from a scholarly family, his father is a famous journalist and translator, and his mother is a senior executive of Yangma.

This condition doesn't mean that he has good hands and eyes, but it is really easy to find a few scenes for Lin Xuan.

"Okay, if you are really fired, you will have to rely on money to guide you."

When Lin Xuan called him Director Qian, he really wasn't flattering him. Qian Yanqiu became a director in 95.

He is not on the set right now because the provincial capital asked him and Li Yuan to direct a play and they are busy.

As for Cao Rong, he went to the hospital to take care of his wounds and simply lived outside.

The big boss and others rushed over and apologized.

After being a grandson for several hours, he finally got Cao Rong's reconciliation terms.

First: Lin Xuan must be made to apologize to him and Wu Xing.

Second: Lin Xuan and the group of extras cannot cooperate with them and must all be fired.

Third: Compensate him and Wu Xing for their medical expenses and mental losses, totaling 100 million yuan.

Only by agreeing to the above three conditions, Cao Rong could reluctantly continue filming, otherwise the filming would break up.

When the big boss heard this, he almost fainted.

Let alone two or three, even the first condition cannot be fulfilled.

Lin Xuan, that stubborn donkey, would never apologize even if he was beaten to death.

And Cao Rong, is there something wrong with your brain?

They want to fire him and ask him to apologize. This is what a lunatic would do.

The big boss had no choice but to explain to Cao Rong tactfully.

Unexpectedly, Cao Rong ignored him at all.

As for these three conditions, if they are met within a week, he will continue filming. If they are not met, he will slap his butt and return to Xianggang.

Anyway, I have already received half of the salary, so this trip is not a loss.

Two wild bulls are at odds with each other, and it’s hard for the big boss to be caught in the middle.

I had no choice but to advise Cao Rong to calm down and wait two days before talking again.

After they left, Cao Rong got up from the bed.

When he learned that Lin Xuan was unwilling to apologize, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Fight on the street! I'll kill you!"

Cao Rong took out his cell phone and called all the friends he knew.
