After Wei Lin transferred all the staff of the crew, before he had time to rest, he heard Brother Chen muttering about how much money he had lost due to the earthquake, so he couldn't help but asked, "Have you paid the compensation for the camera equipment? "

Brother Chen nodded and said, "Yes, although we only need to pay a small part, it is still a large expense. Now the production team has been suspended for several days due to various reasons, and I don't know when we can resume work." .

Wei Lin said impatiently: "You, a screenwriter, should not care about these things.

Brother Chen didn't bother with him either. Too many things happened during this period. The crew was hit by an earthquake on the first day of work, and the male lead was smashed into the hospital.

Brother Chen asked another question that he had buried in his heart for a long time. He glanced at Wei Lin cautiously and said, "Didn't you say before that Shi Jin is not suitable for our drama? Now he is injured and hospitalized. We definitely can't shoot anymore, so why don't we discuss with Young Master Lin to see if we can replace him?

Wei Lin looked at Brother Chen in disbelief, "It was you who yelled not to change the male lead before, but now something happened, and you yelled to change it again, Brother Chen, our contract has already been signed, it's too inappropriate to do so Moral!

Brother Chen was a little annoyed.When he was in school, he felt that Wei Lin didn't know how to be flexible in dealing with people. He thought that he would become a lot smarter after he came out to work. , as long as you want to make a name for yourself, it is impossible to be as innocent as it appears on the surface.

But what he didn't expect was that Wei Lin was still as stupid as he was back then.

Wei Lin was very angry, "Now the crew's official website has announced the hero and heroine, and netizens already know that Shi Jin was injured on the set while filming, are you sure you want to change roles temporarily?" Brother Chen said displeased: "I'm thinking about the overall situation. The crew's funds are seriously insufficient now. I've already contacted the investor, and everyone except Lin Shao agreed.

After a pause, Brother Chen continued: "Until now, don't take chances anymore. The producer and I have already found investors who were interested in investing before, and their tone has changed now. So in the short term It is impossible for us to attract new investment.

Wei Lin said bitterly: "Is the crew's budget really so tight? Today is only the fifth day since we started filming, and the budget is already seriously insufficient. What did you buy before?"

Brother Chen's eyes dodged: "I'm just a small screenwriter, how do I know what I spent on it, the funds are insufficient, you should ask the producer this question, he is in charge of the money.

Wei Lin stared at Brother Chen suspiciously, and questioned: "You are playing tricks with me. Didn't you say before that you want to manage the money with the producer, and that you don't trust an outsider to manage the money? Now you actually You don't know where the money went? What do you mean?

Brother Chen was still very guilty at first, but after Wei Lin asked him a few words like interrogating a prisoner, he immediately became unhappy.

Brother Chen said: "I'm just getting closer to the producer. What can I, a screenwriter, have to talk to him about? Besides, it's impossible for the producer to show me the production bills of the crew, so how can I It may be clear. Instead of asking me here, you might as well go to him and clarify.

Wei Lin withdrew his gaze and tried his best to calm down the agitation in his heart.He also knew that it was wrong for him to press Brother Chen like this. Brother Chen helped him so much when he was in school, but now that something like this happened, he shouldn't doubt the other party.

However, it has only been five days since the start of work, and the funds for the crew are insufficient. There must be something wrong with it.It was Wei Lin's first time as a director, so he didn't know the twists and turns. He just thought that it was enough to make a good TV show and let the actors catch up with their acting skills.

Brother Chen was quite guilty at first, but seeing that Wei Lin's expression had begun to loosen, he said solemnly: "I know you are really angry, but regarding the matter of funds, it is now a question of whether you want to continue to use it or not." The male lead is just as important, think about it carefully Wei Lin said: "I'll go to the producer first.

Brother Chen nodded, and left Wei Lin's house with a sullen face. As soon as he walked out of the house, he quickly sent a text message to the producer, and then left in a panic. If Wei Lin knew that he had used his name to embezzle funds without authorization, I will definitely not give up.

Thinking of this, Brother Chen couldn't help but feel his heart sink, he had to think of another way.

Wei Lin did understand the origin of the matter very quickly. The production team had 8000 million yuan in the early stage. According to the producer's budget, this money must be enough, but because Brother Chen used the name of Director Wei Lin to Asking for money, although the producer was puzzled, he still allocated the money to Brother Chen.

Every time the producer asked Wei Lin himself before appropriating funds, but before the producer came to ask Wei Lin, Brother Chen had already turned the matter upside down in front of Wei Lin, so Wei Lin has always been concerned about this. half-knowledgeable.

It wasn't until the crew's budget began to shrink seriously that Brother Chen realized that he had gone too far, and Wei Lin also realized how much trouble Brother Chen had made when he couldn't see it.

Wei Lin was trembling with anger, the producer swore on the other end of the phone that Brother Chen had withdrawn a total of 500 million from the account in Wei Lin's name, and the money had to be paid in three installments, because the amount It is huge, so the producer will ask Wei Lin every time before making a transfer.

And Wei Lin was always deceived by Brother Chen's rhetoric every time. He thought it was the money that the crew had to spend, so he agreed in a daze, but who knew that it was all Brother Chen's tricks!

Wei Lin gritted his teeth and stared forward, thinking that this matter must be settled with Brother Chen!

The producer also noticed that something was wrong, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he couldn't ask about this kind of thing on the phone, so he said, "Director Wei, the shooting equipment was destroyed. I already paid the compensation yesterday. It will take a few days before the equipment can be rented.”

Wei Lin said, "How much did you lose?

The producer said honestly, "The compensation, the rental fee, the crew's wages for the past few days, the remuneration of the extras, the box lunches, etc., all need to be paid within the next few days, and it is estimated that 200 million will be allocated.

Wei Lin sat down on the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "How much money is left.

The producer heard that Wei Lin's tone on the phone was not right, and he couldn't bear it.

The producer reported an amount over the phone, and he said: "Director Wei, it's like this, the remaining money can only guarantee that we can finish filming this drama, after all, the group performances that are needed every day, the box lunch is a set." Big spend.

Wei Lin doesn't want to talk about this topic at all now, he said: "I know, let's not tell you about me, I still have a little work to do here, I will go to you to discuss it after I finish handling the matter here.

The producer hung up the phone after chatting with Wei Lin about the filming.

The corners of Wei Lin's eyes were red. He stretched out his hand to hold the armrest of the sofa and tried to stand up from the ground, but the push was so soft that he almost slipped down again with a thud.

Rongcheng.

Huo Hua was sitting on the sofa watching the news. His new assistant was helping him pack his luggage. Huo Hua's part had already been filmed, so he could have left the crew yesterday. , rested for another night, so I left.

The news is talking about the earthquake disaster in Wubi City two days ago. In this earthquake, about 13 billion property and buildings were lost. But fortunately, in this sudden earthquake, the number of casualties was relatively small. Most people know how to use the buildings around them to get out of trouble even if they are in a busy city.

Huo Hua frowned. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Wei Lin's crew in Wubi City?"

The little assistant nodded, and he said in surprise: "This incident was spread on the Internet a few days ago, why don't you know about it, Brother Huo?

Huo Hua suddenly sensed something was wrong, he threw the remote control aside, and said, "What's going on?"

Seeing the tense expression on Huo Hua's face, the little assistant hurriedly said, "On the day of the Ubi City earthquake, Wei Director's crew happened to be there, but because they stayed far away from the center, only Shi Jin was injured and hospitalized. The situation is not too serious.

Huo Hua was even more puzzled. He remembered that Wei Lin had told him before that if he wanted to make a drama, he would direct and act on his own, but why is the male lead now Shi Jin?

Could it be that so many things happened during the time he left Hwaseong?

Huo Hua said in a deep voice, "Why is Shi Jin also on the shooting scene?

The little assistant stared blankly at Huo Hua and said, "Ah? I don't know either. It is said on the Internet that the male protagonists of Director Wei's filming are Shi Jin and Ou Beibei. It's been said on the official website, and everyone said so, so I'll just say that." listen.

Huo Hua immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Why didn't anyone tell me after the accident?"

The little assistant swallowed. He actually surfed Weibo during this period of time. He originally told Huo Hua after the incident, but his manager didn't let him tell, so the little assistant pretended that he didn't know anything about Huo Hua's anger. Said, "The ticket has been changed, I'm going to board the plane now.

The little assistant said awkwardly: "Okay, I'll change the ticket right now."

Huo Hua stopped the little assistant who was running towards the door, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Give me the phone.

The little assistant hurriedly took out the phone from his pocket, and handed it to Huo Hua tremblingly. He never knew that Huo Hua, who was always easy to talk, would get angry and it would be so scary. , I want to call.

When the phone was connected, Huo Hua said angrily, "The Ubi City earthquake, why didn't you tell me in time?" The manager was startled, then sneered, and said, "Hey, I did it on purpose.
