"A Yuan, you are still not a girl, why can't you just walk around for a while?"

Wei Siyi came out of the fitting room and saw Lin Yuan slumped on the sofa, as if her body had been hollowed out.

"My Miss Wei, can we be more realistic? It's only a while. It's almost three hours already, okay?" Lin Yuan raised her wrist and glanced at her watch and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock now. .”

"Have we been shopping for so long?" Wei Siyi didn't feel anything at all and thought it was very early.

"Why else do you think I'm so tired?" Lin Yuan glanced at Wei Siyi angrily.

"That's just right. Let's go to the sixth floor to have barbecue now and then go watch a movie. You can have a good rest all afternoon."

In fact, Lin Yuan had been a little hungry for a long time. Going to the mall was really a very energy-consuming thing. When Wei Siyi said that she wanted to eat barbecue, she finally felt a little energetic.

The barbecue restaurant was newly opened and the environmental sanitation was pretty good. Since it was a working day, there were not many people inside. Lin Yuan and Wei Siyi did not queue up and found a quiet corner to sit down.

Wei Siyi directly gave the menu to Lin Yuan and said generously and boldly: "A Yuan, you can order whatever you want to eat. I'm here to treat you today."

"If you are so generous, then I won't be polite."

"You're welcome, don't be polite, order everything you like."

Although Lin Yuan said that, she didn't actually order a few dishes before returning the menu to Wei Siyi. Wei Siyi felt that it was not enough, so he added a few more dishes.

After a while, the waiter served all the dishes, and the two of them were grilling and eating, chatting at the same time. Mainly Wei Siyi was telling Lin Yuan about the movie he was going to watch later.

"A Yuan, the reviews of this movie online are so good. I've long wanted to see it. I'm just waiting for you to come back and join me."

"Really, who is starring in them?"

"Yan Zhang, Guo Yangchen, and the recently popular idol Han Zhiyan. I remember that he and Yan Zhang are both artists of Shengyu Entertainment. A Yuan, if you meet them in the company, remember to ask for my autograph."

"That's no problem. I'll help you get it if I meet you."

"A Yuan, you will be my connection in the entertainment industry from now on. I rely on you to chase stars." Wei Siyi even held Lin Yuan's hand in a particularly exaggerated way.

"Look at your potential." Lin Yuan took out her hand and deliberately looked disgusted, "Stop chasing stars, eat barbecue quickly, don't wait until the movie is about to start, you still If you don’t eat well, you will miss a lot of content if you go late.”

"That won't work. I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time." Wei Siyi obviously speeded up his eating when he heard Lin Yuan say this.

However, Wei Siyi still failed to watch the movie in the end because Lin Yuan received a message from Tao Shuihua while eating.

Tao Shuihua's message was not long, but the content above stunned Lin Yuan. She was so surprised that she didn't speak for a while.

"A Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Wei Siyi saw Lin Yuan standing there stunned and reached out to push her.

Lin Yuan came back to her senses, but the expression on her face had not yet completely calmed down. She pointed the screen of her phone at Wei Siyi, "Siyi, there seems to be a problem with our crew."

"What's the problem?" Wei Siyi also put down his chopsticks and took the phone over to look at it.

There was still the message from Tao Shuihua on the phone. It probably meant that due to some reasons, the crew could not resume work for the time being. It was not known when it would resume in the future. Ask Lin Yuan to send the card number first, and the crew would pay part of the remuneration first. give her.

"A Yuan, what this means is that this drama is no longer planned to be filmed? Do you know what happened?" Wei Siyi was also surprised after reading the message. The filming was originally going well, so why did he say something went wrong? Something's wrong.

Lin Yuan shook her head and said, "I know it too. If I knew the reason, I wouldn't be so surprised."

"Then why don't you ask the rest of the crew to see if they know what happened?"

Wei Siyi's words reminded Lin Yuan, and she picked up the phone and planned to call Zhang Shuying. However, Zhang Shuying's call happened to be called at this time, and Lin Yuan immediately picked up the call.

"A Yuan, have you received that text message from Director Tao?" Zhang Shuying's voice also sounded surprised.

"I just received it too. I just wanted to ask you if you know what happened?"

"How would I know? Feng Ge and I just got off the plane and saw this message as soon as we turned on our phones. Now we don't know what to do?"

"You and Feng Ge are coming to Beicheng!"

"Yes, we're here to play for a few days. We originally planned to tell you when we get there, but now something like this happened, I have no intention of having any fun anymore."

Hearing Zhang Shuying's somewhat frustrated and sad tone, Lin Yuan quickly comforted her and said, "Shuying, don't worry. You and Feng Ge will go to the hotel to stay first, and I'll think about what to do about this matter."

"Okay, A Yuan, let's go to the hotel first and contact you later."

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Shuying, Lin Yuan frowned, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Seeing Lin Yuan's look, Wei Siyi thought for a while and reminded her: "A Yuan, do you want to ask Director Tao first what happened?"

Lin Yuan raised her head and looked at Wei Siyi, gesturing for her to continue.

"You ask the matter clearly first. If the problem is not serious, let's think of a solution together to see if it can be solved. If it really can't be solved, then we can talk about other things."

Wei Siyi's words made Lin Yuan suddenly open up, and the expression on his face became much better, "Siyi, you can eat by yourself first. I'll go out and make a phone call."

After Lin Yuan left, Wei Siyi no longer thought about eating. He held up a mobile phone and flicked it absently, frequently looking in the direction where Lin Yuan left.

Almost an hour later, Lin Yuan came back with her mobile phone and a smile on her face. Wei Siyi knew at a glance that the matter shouldn't be that bad.

"How is it? Is everything solved?"

"No, I just called Director Tao and asked him what happened to the crew, but he refused to tell me whether he was alive or dead. I struggled with him for a long time, and finally he agreed to have a meal together to talk in the evening."

"Since you have agreed to meet, he will definitely tell you the reason, and then you can discuss the solution together."

"I think so."

Lin Yuan looked at Wei Siyi with an apologetic look, and said in a very embarrassed tone: "Siyi, I have to go find Shuying and the others right now, so I can't watch the movie with you. I'm really sorry."

"What's there to be sorry for? This matter has its priorities. It's impossible for such a big thing to happen. I still have to drag you to watch a movie. Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about priorities?"

"Yes, yes, my Siyi understands justice the most."

Lin Yuan's compliment made Wei Siyi elated, and she directly handed Lin Yuan's bag over, "Okay, don't give me the rainbow fart, just grab your bag and leave."

"Thank you Siyi, I'll leave first." Lin Yuan took the bag, blew a kiss to Wei Siyi, and then hurried out of the barbecue restaurant.

Lin Yuan took a taxi directly to the hotel where Zhang Shuying and Feng Ge were staying. The three of them discussed it among themselves. After Zhou Xian arrived, the four of them rushed to Liu Ji's private restaurant.

Liu Ji's Private Restaurant is a place that Jing Yu took Lin Yuan to. The food is very good and the environment is very clean. Mainly because it is private enough. Celebrities or rich people often visit it. Lin Yuan still uses Jing Yu's card. I just made a reservation.

When Lin Yuan and the others arrived at the private room, Tao Shuihua hadn't even arrived yet, so Lin Yuan let the three of them order first.

"A Yuan, this place you chose is really good. It looks very classy at first glance." Zhang Shuying looked around the surrounding environment and thought to herself that the consumption here is not cheap at first glance.

Zhou Xian had come here twice before with his agent, but each time he came here to meet the director. At that time, he only wanted to leave a good impression on others. It was also the first time for him to take a closer look at what this place was like.

"You can try the signature dishes here later, they taste very good."

"Okay, A Yuan, if you treat me, I won't be polite."

While a few people were chatting and laughing, the waiter came in with Tao Shuihua. Behind Tao Shuihua was deputy director Jiang. As soon as the two directors came in, Lin Yuan and the others stood up.

"Hello, Director Tao, hello Assistant Director Jiang." Lin Yuan took the lead in greeting the two of them, "Director Tao, Assistant Director Jiang, we have just ordered a few dishes. Take a look at what you want to eat and add more. A few things."

"No, no, I didn't come here specifically for the meal. You just ordered it." Tao Shuihua is a straightforward person and doesn't like to mince words. "Do you just want to know the reason why I stopped filming."

"Yes, Director Tao."

Since Tao Shuihua asked directly, Lin Yuan got straight to the point, "Director Tao, after all, the four of us have been filming for so long, and the effort and effort we put in cannot be compensated by this small salary. I think you should give We have a clear answer, to put it bluntly, if it was for the pay, we wouldn’t be standing here today.”

Although Lin Yuan's words were very rude, Tao Shuihua also knew in his heart that this was the truth. With the salary he paid for the film, there would be no actors available for ordinary crews. Lin Yuan and the others were willing to come because they were willing to come. It's because of his reputation, but now that the drama can't be filmed, he should give an explanation.

"Alas." Tao Shuihua sighed, then sat down, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

As soon as Tao Shuihua sat down, everyone also sat down, and they all looked at Tao Shuihua attentively.

In fact, the thing is very simple. Although most of this drama was paid for by Tao Shuihua himself, he also attracted some investment sponsorship.

After returning to Beicheng this time, one of the investors insisted on adding someone to the crew. More than half of the filming was already done. Tao Shuihua was naturally unwilling, not to mention that he was disgusted with these things in the first place, and they couldn't reach an agreement after a few words. He quarreled with the investors.

The quarrel got out of hand, and in the end the investor wanted to withdraw his capital. It didn't matter if he withdrew his capital, the remaining two investors saw that the situation was not right and also asked to withdraw.

For the sake of the overall situation, under Deputy Director Jiang's persuasion, Tao Shuihua also endured his temper and apologized. In the end, the investor became even more enthusiastic. Not only did he say a lot of sarcastic words, but he also demanded that Tao Shuihua replace Lin Yuan and the others. If you lose, you can invest more.

Tao Shuihua could be ridiculed, but he would not change any of his principles regarding his works, otherwise he would not have fallen to this point, so he left the scene angrily.

"That's what happened. Now that the crew's financial chain is broken, we can't shoot the next scenes for the time being. Director Tao and I are trying to find ways to raise money. Anyway, as long as the funds are in place, we can start shooting again right away, and we will also shoot the next movie." I'll let you know as soon as possible." Assistant Director Jiang promised Lin Yuan and the others.

After hearing this, Zhang Shuying immediately expressed her position and said: "We can also ask for no salary, as long as the crew can continue filming."

When other people heard what Zhang Shuying said, they also expressed their opinions that they did not want to be paid, because this drama is the joint effort of everyone, and no one wants to see it "stillborn" like this.

"It's useless." Tao Shuihua shook his head and said, "The remuneration is actually not much. It's not much. Even if everyone doesn't want it, it's just a drop in the bucket. It's better to take advantage of the fact that I can still get some money." , I’ll give you your salary first, I can’t let you work with me for so many months in vain.”

Everyone felt a little uncomfortable when they heard the helplessness in Tao Shuihua's tone, except Lin Yuan who looked thoughtful.

"Director Tao is right, the remuneration is nothing at all." Assistant Director Jiang followed Tao Shuihua and said: "The real money is spent in post-production, venue rental, plus the cost of publicity. All in all, The amount is something that Director Tao and I can’t come up with in a short while.”

"Director Tao, how much more do we need?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

"Don't worry about this." Tao Shuihua had no intention of saying it out loud. Instead, he greeted everyone and said, "We won't talk about this anymore. I'm here to treat you to this meal today. Treat it as a final banquet prepared for you in advance. Everyone Have a good meal and drink, and I wish you a better future. When we cooperate in the future, please don’t meet an unreliable crew like me."

Tao Shuihua's self-deprecating words made everyone feel a little sad, with a sad expression on their faces. Zhang Shuying, who was more emotional, almost cried.

Feng Ge suddenly stood up, raised his cup and said to Tao Shuihua: "Director Tao, you must not say that. I think you are a good director. I have learned a lot in the past two months of filming with you. , today I will have tea instead of wine to thank you, Director Tao, for taking care of us on the set these past two months."

Tao Shuihua is a person with a cold face and a warm heart. Although he is usually fierce on the set, it is because he has higher demands on everyone and does not get angry for no reason. Moreover, he cares about every actor and treats dangerous actors. He tested the props himself before letting the actors come on stage.
