Chapter 358: Given Two Paths
Translator: 549690339
Although he didn’t want to get involved in this matter, the director did have a bit of a relationship with his family, so he pursed his lips and spoke up for him. “Shengxiao, as far as I know, Stephen’s new film is invested in by HuanYu. In addition to HuanYu’s young master Shi Mufeng privately investing about two billion, the Rong Family also invested one billion. As a director, although he has the right to choose the actors, he doesn’t have much say in terms of investnt. Rong Weiwei was a person inserted by the investors, and if you suddenly ask for a replacent, even if he wants to change, he doesn’t have the ability to…”
Although he doesn’t mix in the entertainnt industry and his family isn’t involved in that area either, he sowhat knows how things operate within it.
It seems like the director has a lot of power.
But within a film crew, it’s the investors who really hold the greatest power.
The director might replace minor actors, but a leading actress like Rong Weiwei, who brings in three hundred million in funding and has the backing of HuanYu, is probably irreplaceable!
“KT Entertainnt hasn’t invested in any films recently, so why have you suddenly thought about replacing the leading actress in a film invested by HuanYu?” Fu Yi still didn’t understand why.
What could be the reason?
Shengxiao, with a brooding and decisively chilling expression, didn’t answer his question, but said outright, “Tell him that KT Entertainnt can invest in his film. Whatever conditions HuanYu has given him, KT Entertainnt can match them exactly. There is just one requirent: change the leading actress!”
Fu Yi,
How exactly did that Rong Weiwei offend him?
“Even if you say that, the film’s financing is already in place, and the casting is complete. Even Rong Weiwei has signed the contract, and they’re only waiting to begin shooting… Even if KT Entertainnt offers the sa conditions, for the sake of the film, Stephen might not be willing to wait for a new actress.”
Finding a suitable replacent isn’t easy, as the schedules of even marginally significant actresses are already full. If they have to wait, it might be another six months.
Stephen, as an internationally renowned director, still has his own pride and stick-to-itiveness in his bones.
This kind of talk seed to be Fu Yi speaking on behalf of the director; in ordinary circumstances, Shengxiao might have given him so face and dropped the matter. But this ti it was different, “Then don’t make the film.”
What do you an?”
“I’m giving him two choices: first, change the person! Second, I’ll block the film! You relay the ssage to him, let him decide for himself.”
First, change the person.
Second, I’ll block the film!
Fu Yi was stunned and his brows were knit tightly together, “You’ve never suppressed any director before, and it’s unlikely that Stephen has offended you. Why are you being so extre?”
He knew that when this man said he would block a film, it didn’t matter if Stephen was a top international director.
Once this man took action, that film wouldn’t see the light of the day!
What’s the point of a film that audiences can’t even watch?
To spend a billion to produce it just for one’s own enjoynt at ho?
Had it been soone else asking, Li Shengxiao might not have bothered to explain, but since it was Fu Yi, he gave him a bit of face. “Because they touched soone they shouldn’t have!”
“They? Which ‘they’? That Rong, Rong Weiwei?” There was only one ‘she’, where did ‘they’ co from?
“You just need to deliver the ssage!” Li Shengxiao never liked explaining his actions to anyone, making an exception to give even a vague explanation to Fu Yi was already quite remarkable.
