Give up
No relationship? Never met before?
The middle-aged man was confused.
If it doesn't matter, why are you joining in the fun?
Do you also need to help Pei An pay the penalty for breach of contract?
What's going on? He is really rich and willful, and he is acting like a nouveau riche to the end!
If Pei An was some big director, it would be understandable that the other party would spend a fortune to win his favor in order to make friends with him.
But who is Pei An?
In the film industry, if a brick is thrown, it will at least knock out ten or eight assistant directors.
Not only is Pei An not able to get a number, but his reputation is hated by everyone in the circle, just because he has a foul mouth and is arrogant. He once had the opportunity to work with those famous directors, but he never restrained himself in front of them, questioning this and that at every turn, and even had no self-awareness to argue with those big directors.
In addition, the number of actors who have been scolded by him is countless, from the first-line stars to the extras, none of them can avoid his harsh words.
If you were a famous director, it would be fine, but the problem is that you are just a unknown assistant director, a worthless assistant director in the circle!
Even though he is just an assistant director, in some heavyweight crews, it is not an exaggeration to say that the assistant director is just a handyman.
The weird assistant director Pei An, who has no self-awareness, has become the most unpopular person in the circle because of his mouth. Under various exclusions, it is almost the same as being banned from the film and television industry.
The reason why Orange Gua Pictures approached Pei An this time was because of the price issue. The cost-effectiveness was very high... In addition, the main purpose of this film was to reap the leeks of the investors, so they set their sights on Pei An. They thought that this guy would cherish this hard-won opportunity and restrain his weird personality.
But who would have thought that this would not only get worse, but also give up...
However, knowing Pei An's financial ability and the penalty for breach of contract, the middle-aged man knew that no matter what, Pei An would have to bow his head in the end.
But now there appears another nouveau riche Ye Chen who is rich, willful, stupid and has a lot of money?
He even threatened to help Pei An pay the penalty for quitting the job? Damn!!!
Does their Orange Gua Films need Pei An's breach of contract fee of several hundred thousand?
If he really quits, it will be difficult to find other directors to take over, not to mention whether we can find one. Even if we do find one, it will be troublesome!
Moreover, even though Pei An has numerous fatal problems in his character, his directing ability is such that even though he has always been an assistant director in the past, it is not a problem for him to take on the leading role alone.
The reason why he has been stuck in the quagmire of being an assistant director and why he has been excluded from the circle to the point of being almost banned is, after all, just because of his personality and his mouth.
Therefore, if Pei An really gave up, it would definitely be a big trouble for Orange Gua Pictures. After all, a capable director would not be able to take over, and it would be even more troublesome if a half-baked director came over. Although the investors do not have high requirements for the quality of the film, it does not mean that they can make the worst movie in history to get away with it!
It was because they knew in advance that several of the canaries who brought money into the group had no acting skills, so Chenggua Films found Pei An after weighing the pros and cons, trying to get him to neutralize the situation and see if it could avoid becoming the worst movie in history. But what they never expected was that he would soon have no food to eat.
Pei An, who had risen up, was about to quit, and an upstart appeared to support him and pay the penalty for breach of contract.
At this time, the middle-aged man became anxious.
"No, Boss Ye, since you and Pei An have never met before, there's no need to join in the fun. Pei An is the director that our Orange Gua Films hired to direct the film. If he quits, what will happen to our film?
"Deal with it whatever you want. I heard what Director Pei said just now. Although I'm not from the film industry, I still think the way you, Chenggua Pictures, are greedy... well, a bit ugly! In order to attract investment, you force some nonsensical things in. What kind of operation is this? Not considering the quality of the film, just shooting for the sake of shooting, is this to cut leeks? Let me tell you, any director who pursues his profession would not want to take on this kind of burden and ruin his reputation, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
reputation?
As for Pei An, does he have a reputation?
If notoriety can be considered, then his fame in the film industry is really great...
As soon as the name comes out, all the crews will frown and treat him as a plague!
However, the middle-aged man still didn't dare to say these.
"Boss Ye, who wants to be bald if they have hair? If they have funds, who would be willing to let those investors force some vases into the crew? But isn't our Orange Gua Films stretched to the limit? Many times, there is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for the lack of funds, we would definitely not blindly allow investors to force people into the crew. If there is no such thing as forcing people in, then it would definitely not be Pei An's turn to direct this film! To be honest, Pei An is almost completely excluded in the circle. Only we would ask him, an assistant director who has not personally directed any film or television works, to take the lead, just to see if he can neutralize the acting skills of those actors. Now, he quits after a few words. What about us? There are a lot of troubles waiting for us!
The middle-aged man said bitterly.
"Neutralize? Can you neutralize those rubbish acting skills? I've been trying to neutralize them for so long, but what's the result? Until now, those canaries who can only flirt with each other can only act coquettishly and pretend to be innocent and pitiful, and they can't even understand the basic lines. How do you want me to neutralize them? I'll leave it at that. Not to mention me, Pei An, even if you let a world-class director come, this bunch of rubbish will not be able to change the result that the film becomes the worst in history! If there is any possibility of adjustment, would I give up? But it's been almost three months, and even 10% of the shooting progress can't be completed. How the hell do you want me to direct it? Pei An's temper was so angry, "I would like to do it in a few minutes, whatever the result is, but you can be shameless, but I, Pei An, still have dignity. I, Pei An, still want to go on the path of directing! If I direct this movie with all my heart, my career as a director in this life will fucking end here! My name, Pei An, will be forever engraved on the pillar of shame. No matter how many years pass, as long as someone mentions the worst movie in history, I, Pei An, will be dragged out and whipped!"
After venting all this resentment.
Pei An then took a deep breath and slowed down his tone, "But no matter what, I am grateful to your Orange Melon Films for giving me such an opportunity. No matter what your original intention was in finding me, it is not important. What is important is that you gave me the opportunity to direct the film yourself, but... I still say that unless the role is changed, I will sell everything I have and go bankrupt, even if I have to borrow usury, I will pay the penalty, and then I will love whoever wants me to, I definitely can't direct anymore!"
"Fuck, that's easy for you to say. Do you think we don't want to change the role? But you're the one who will deal with the investors, right? If the other party withdraws their investment in anger, you'll make up for the funding gap, right?"
On the issue of role replacement, the middle-aged man became anxious again.
