The bodyguard I picked up is BOSS
Chapter 55
"There is something wrong, but don't panic." Zhang Shuping quickly whispered in his ear, then turned around, smiled at the investor inside, and raised his voice, "President Cheng, someone is here."
Fu Ling stepped in anxiously, and when the door lock snapped shut, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He quickly took a look at the "Mr. Cheng", he was a man in his forties, who was said to be the biggest investor in the movie.There is an exaggerated old saying in the circle-the one who gives the money is the father.
Although this may sound cheesy at first glance, it is true.The investor contributes money and the producer contributes. Under normal circumstances, of course, everyone hopes to produce a good work. The investment can make money, and the production can increase the reputation.
However, there is no shortage of situations where investors want to force people.
Fu Ling was called in and stood beside Qian Jiahe, as if he was about to accept the trial of life and death.
Mr. Cheng's eyes stopped on him for a moment, but only for a moment.
"So, Director Zhang still thinks that Fu Ling is better?"
Zhang Shuping already had an idea about the actor Ah Shui, so the answer was clear: "Of course, no matter in terms of acting skills or his fit with this role, I think no one is more suitable than him."
He didn't mention that Qian Jiahe stole the biography.One is because he doesn't like to do things well, Qian Jiahe is still a young man after all, if this incident gets out, his acting career is likely to be over.Second, it was rumored that Qian Jiahe had always had a close relationship with Mr. Cheng, and today the person surnamed Cheng was willing to stand up for Qian Jiahe, so he must be an insider. It didn't matter whether he said it or not.
"Maybe we, as the audience, have a different perspective from big directors like Zhang Dao and you. The scene just now, to be honest, Fu Ling didn't impress me. And his appearance is too... how to say, too much Zhang Yang. I think he is more suitable for the kind of oiran who will bring disaster to the country and the people than a country boatman who pulls a boat."
"Don't worry about this, not to mention that our stylist is a recognized master at home and abroad, Fu Ling's own acting ability can also fully reflect the demeanor of the character. I think appearance is actually a very secondary factor."
"Although it's secondary, it still has to be considered. And I don't want the movie I invest in to have actors who rely on gossip all day to maintain their popularity." Cheng Xi tried to persuade several other investment representatives with some non-professional opinions .
In fact, all the investors who attended today were represented by assistants or department managers, and Cheng Xi was the only one directly dispatched by the boss. It is not difficult to see that from the very beginning today, he had some ulterior purpose .
After he finished speaking, he didn't continue, apparently waiting for others to express their views.
"Actually, I don't think scandals can determine an actor's ability. What's more, we are all in the industry, and we can see that Fu Ling's scandals were not created by himself or his company."
"And the scene just now, I personally feel that Fu Ling's completion is higher than that of Qian Jiahe."
"Yes, I just tuned back to watch the movie again and again, each time I have a different feeling."
Fortunately, Fu Ling performed very well just now, earning a little favorability.
But Cheng Xi didn't look at these things. How much money did he spend on Jiahe?Now there is an opportunity to cooperate with a big director, and he happens to be the biggest investor, so what if we don't make good use of it?
So he pretended to be reasonable from the beginning, but in the end no one bought it, so he directly said harsh words:
"Well, if you and I have such a big disagreement, then I think that if we don't agree with each other, I don't need to vote for this movie."
The implication is that if Qian Jiahe is not used, he will withdraw the capital.
At this point, Fu Ling finally understood why Qian Jiahe was so convinced that the role of Ah Shui belonged to him.
Although Cheng Xi's assets are not among the best in the business circle, his investment in the film and television industry in recent years has exceeded one billion.And for this movie, he also invested 6000 million, which is the most money paid by investors.That's why he dared to say that.
When these words fell to the ground, everyone naturally sensed his determination to support Qian Jiahe.You can lose face, but you can't lose money, not to mention that Qian Jiahe's acting skills are actually passable.As a result, the representatives of the producer who said that Fu Ling was better also panicked.
"Mr. Cheng, you can't take such a joke!"
"Actually, as an actor, I haven't signed a contract yet, so everything is negotiable."
"How about we discuss it and see if there is any other role that is suitable for Qian Jiahe?"
But Cheng Xi obviously had an affair with Qian Jiahe. In this movie, except for Ah Shui, no one else will act.
"It seems that you still don't understand what I mean. I also know that with Director Zhang's appearance here, you don't have to worry about not being able to get sponsors. It's just that the filming is about to start right now, and it costs money In a short period of time, you probably won't be able to get any suitable sponsorship, right?"
He crossed Erlang's legs and shook them frequently, trying to force Zhang Shuping to express his opinion.
"Director Zhang, you are a great director, and I have no right to show off in front of you. But, after all, my money didn't come from a strong wind. If I want to use it, I have to use it sharply. Or, you can arrange for Fu Ling to pay for it. Other roles, or, me, divest."
The house suddenly fell into silence, like stagnant water.
Until the closed door suddenly opened from the outside, a tall man in a black coat stepped in from the door:
"—Mr. Cheng is refreshing. It just so happens that I have some money recently and plan to invest 8000 million. You are leaving, and I just came."
His words were neither urgent nor slow, but the tone was deep and thick, like thunder that thundered deafeningly on a midsummer night, striking the smooth flat ground, leaving a scorched black crack immediately.
As soon as he came in, he attracted all eyes.The burly body is wrapped in a dark suit, and a coat with Napoleon lapels is put on outside, which imperceptibly carries an aura that makes people subconsciously surrender.
"Mr. Xu?"
The first person to recognize Xu Guanrong was a representative of one of the investment companies.The news in the past few days has been broadcasting the progress of the Xu family's big case, and Xu Guanrong appeared on the public platform more than once.Just yesterday, he held a press conference to explain the Xu family's situation one by one.
The man who was rumored to have died a month ago has not only come back alive, but has also inherited all the assets including the Jade Kylin Company. In addition to some of the man's original overseas properties, it is conservatively estimated that it is at least [-] billion.
Therefore, when such a sweet potato in the eyes of the producer appeared in front of him and said that he would invest 8000 million, Cheng Xi's whole face turned dark.
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Guanrong stopped in front of him leisurely, glanced at him condescendingly, with a calm expression: "Didn't Mr. Cheng just say that if you let Fu Ling play the role, you will withdraw the capital? It just so happens that I have a little more money recently and want to make some investments .If you step aside, I'd love to join in."
The assistant director swallowed, Xu Guanrong probably has more than "a little" money now.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are two benefactors throwing money at their little actor.It was almost an open secret that the person behind Qian Jiahe was Cheng Xi.It's just that Fu Ling, when did he hook up with Xu Guanrong?
A group of people chattered, Cheng Xi originally wanted to use investment to threaten Zhang Shuping, and took the opportunity to replace Fu Ling to vent his anger on his lover.But at this time, Xu Guanrong, who was bigger than him, suddenly stood up and listened to everything he said.In addition to the audition just now, Fu Ling was indeed better than Qian Jiahe, and the others were more inclined to use Fu Ling.After coming and going, he wants to come back to invest again, and others don't want it.
So he took Qian Jiahe and left angrily. Before leaving, he stopped in front of Xu Guanrong and warned with a smile:
"Mr. Xu, I, Old Cheng, have lived more than ten years longer than you, so I will give you a piece of advice."
"President Cheng, please speak."
"When you do things, you can't be too ruthless. Otherwise, once you fly to the clouds, you won't be able to stand firmly, and you will always fall down one day."
"Boss Cheng's words are good, you've learned a lesson." Xu Guanrong relaxed and looked at Cheng Xi like a clown, "However, Wansheng also has a word for you."
"Oh?"
"Fu Ling is my man, you'd better not make any wrong decisions."
As soon as these words fell to the ground, there was a sound of breathing in the room.You know, even Cheng Xi and Qian Jiahe, who are considered semi-public lovers, at most spend more time together at the reception, and never say so blatantly in front of other people, "This is me. people".
At this point, Qian Jiahe's face turned livid.
It's not that he hasn't encountered a situation of competing for roles before, and even if he can't compete in the end, Cheng Xi can throw the opponent out with money.But today, Fu Ling, whom he had always looked down upon, actually climbed onto the high branch of Xu Guanrong.
How can it be?
Not to mention that Fu Ling had never been in contact with any capital, how could Xu Guanrong, a person who disappeared from the world for a month, be so close to Fu Ling as soon as he came back?
"Fu Ling, I didn't realize that your skills are so high."
Before leaving, he leaned close to Fu Ling's ear and said.
Zhang Shuping was right behind him, correcting him indifferently:
"Fu Ling relied on her own ability and her sincerity towards the characters. Even without Mr. Xu's help, do you think I would let you ruin my movie?"
I don't know who spread this incident later. Qian Jiahe completely offended Zhang Shuping because he wanted to forcefully bring money into the group.Originally, he wanted to rely on Zhang Shuping to open up the film market, but unexpectedly, the door was closed forever.
Of course, this is all for later.On the same day, after Xu Guanrong rescued the siege in a timely manner, the production team paid more attention to it.
Look, they not only have excellent professional skills, but also bring such a big investor.If the movie becomes a big hit in the future, Fu Ling's name must be on the first page of the credit list!
However, the thoughts in Fu Ling's heart were not as simple as those of them - he had agreed with Xu Guanrong that he would have to think about the matter of Bao Yang and reply at nine o'clock.It's only been less than two hours since we separated, why did this person show up again?
"Xiaozhu, go get the car out!"
The first thing Fu Ling did when he came out of the audition room was to ask Zhou Xiaozhu to drive.In this way, after he said goodbye to Zhang Shuping and others, he could get in the car and run away.
"Fu Ling, you should go back and get ready during this time. If there are no accidents, you will be joining the group next week."
"No problem, thank you Teacher Zhang!"
"You still call me Teacher Zhang?"
Fu Ling was stunned for a moment, "Ah, no, thank you Director Zhang!"
Zhang Shuping was very satisfied with the results of his audition today, so he kept smiling: "You seem to be in a hurry, so I won't keep you any longer. If you have any ideas about the script, please feel free to contact me."
Fu Ling was so moved that he bowed to him several times before leaving.Xu Guanrong didn't know where he went, but Left and Right were just greeting those who were about to become partners.Fu Ling felt that the timing was good, so he hurriedly ran out of the building, and when he saw his car, he got in.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Before he had time to sit still, he urged Zhou Xiaozhu while putting on his backpack.As a result, "Zhou Xiaozhu" in the driver's seat suddenly changed his voice:
"where to?"
Fu Ling's body was shocked - the grass...

Fu Ling stepped in anxiously, and when the door lock snapped shut, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He quickly took a look at the "Mr. Cheng", he was a man in his forties, who was said to be the biggest investor in the movie.There is an exaggerated old saying in the circle-the one who gives the money is the father.
