Chapter 220 [I can't, Mr. Gu can]

Liu Jiaying's decision to suddenly withdraw from the crew of "Subversion" almost made the director of the film "Subversion" almost vomit blood.

Now that the filming of the film has reached its final stage, the filming is about to be completed, at this time, Liu Jiaying withdrew from the crew, and the impact can be imagined.

It's like a man and a woman doing enough foreplay in bed and tuning up love. Just as they were getting angry and preparing to have a big fight, the woman suddenly said "no".

The director of the film "Subversion" once advised Liu Jiaying not to play with fire after she made a decision. After all, choosing to quit at this time is a trivial blow to her popularity. What she has to face is a ban from Hongxing. Nowadays, Hongxing is in charge of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Once she is banned, even if she is the number one beauty in Hong Kong, she will not be able to survive in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

If the entertainment industry really can become famous with just a face and a hot figure, then there will be no so many unspoken rules, and there will be no so many beauties who are eventually stripped off by so-called veterans in the entertainment industry. After enjoying it, they will still achieve nothing.

Liu Jiaying didn't care about the director's reminder at all. In her opinion, she will become the daughter-in-law of the Li family in the near future. The Li family's status in Hong Kong is incomparable to any family. As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, is he still afraid of being banned by Hongxing?

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the director of "Subversion", the famous director who was once in charge of the opening ceremony of the Olympics, came to the office of the chairman of the Red Star Group with sweat.

In the office, Lin Lei was browsing carefully with the release plan of the film "Subversion". Suddenly, he saw the director breaking into the office regardless of his secretary's obstruction. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you? It looks like he's in a hurry to reincarnate."

As the head of Red Star Baidao, Lin Lei can be said to be the godfather of the entertainment industry in public, and naturally has a good relationship with the famous director Lao Zhang. Therefore, although Lin Lei was a little dissatisfied, he did not show it, but said a joke.

While speaking, Lin Lei waved to his secretary and signaled the secretary to retreat.

Lao Zhang, who was already at the top of the pyramid of the domestic director field, did not reply immediately after hearing Lin Lei's words, but ran to Lin Lei a few steps. He picked up the cup of untouched coffee and drank it all in one go.

Then he wiped his sweat from running and said in a shocking way: "Mr. Lin, Liu Jiaying, is going to quit the crew!"

"Exit the crew?" Although Lin Lei, as the head of the Red Star and White Dao, has seen many big scenes and excellent psychological quality. However, when he heard Lao Zhang's words, he still showed a shocked expression.

"Yes." Old Zhang took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said, "Just an hour ago, she called me and said she wanted to quit the crew."

"What the hell is this woman doing?" Lin Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, and anger that could not be concealed appeared in his eyes. He glared at Lao Zhang coldly and said, "Didn't you stop her?"

Lao Zhang sat on the sofa and sighed depressedly, saying, "Why didn't you say it? I said all the good things. But she was determined to quit the crew and willingly paid the liquidated damages!"

After hearing what Lao Zhang said, his intuition told Lin Lei that Liu Jiaying suddenly withdrew from Hongxing was definitely not groundless. There was definitely any conspiracy in it. This was his long-term battle in the shopping mall and he learned to have a sensitive sense of smell.

After Dongxing fell, although Liu Jiaying was willing to join Hongxing, she put forward many conditions for Hongxing, which made Lin Lei very embarrassed at the time. In desperation, Lin Lei found Gu Feng and sought Gu Feng's opinions. Finally, he rejected Liu Jiaying's conditions with tough measures. He also told Liu Jiaying that there was only one chance to join Hongxing, and if he missed it, it would be impossible to have it again in the future.

Although Liu Jiaying was very dissatisfied with Lin Lei's iron bowl method, she finally obediently joined Hongxing.

Obviously, she understood the stakes.

Although Liu Jiaying is not as good as a fish in Red Star, she is not worse than before when she was Dong Star. She even became the heroine of the blockbuster "Subversion". In this way, she has no reason to quit Red Star.

After thinking about it, Lin Lei looked up at Old Zhang with a nervous look on his face and said, "What is Liu Jiaying's phone number? Old Zhang quickly told Lin Lei of Liu Jiaying's mobile phone number, but Lin Lei did not neglect and directly called Liu Jiaying's phone number.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Jiaying was serving Li Jiahao with her mouth, trying to get Li Jiahao's gun to stand up again, and then continue to fight.

He was shocked to hear the sound of the phone vibrating, both Li Jiahao and Liu Jiaying were a little depressed.

After all, no matter who it is, being disturbed at XXOO is always a very depressing thing.

"I'll turn off the phone." Liu Jiaying gently polished Li Jiahao's gun with her teeth, causing Li Jiahao to tremble all over.

"Don't rush to turn off the phone first, see who's phone number." Li Jiahao's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something.

Liu Jiaying said "Oh" with a slight understanding, then climbed to the bedside, picked up the cell phone placed on the bedside table, looked at the number, and said a little surprised: "It's Mr. Lin's phone number."

Lin Lei didn't know Liu Jiaying's phone number, but Liu Jiaying remembered Lin Lei's phone number and just didn't have the chance to call. This is also the difference in identity between the two. Even now Liu Jiaying subconsciously said Mr. Lin instead of calling Lin Lei's name.

"Lin Lei?" Li Jiahao's mouth showed a playful smile, and then said to Liu Jiaying: "Respond to the phone and tell Lin Lei that even if he kneels in front of you and begs you, you will withdraw from the crew of "Subversion" and ask her to invite another heroine."

Hearing Li Jiahao's words, Liu Jiaying showed a happy smile, with a bit of a burst of domestic scent and a bit of a domineering power.

Liu Jiaying gently pressed the answer button, and after answering the call, she smiled proudly: "Mr. Lin, why do you have time to call me today?"

"Liu Jiaying, what do you mean? You are going to quit the crew of "Subversion" at this time. Do you want to ruin your acting career?" Lin Lei on the other end of the phone looked extremely angry and his tone was extremely low.

"Lin Lei, what qualifications do you have to let me ruin my acting career?" Liu Jiaying quickly changed her expression. The speed of changing face was definitely much faster than that of her taking off her pants: "I tell you, I don't want to shoot anymore. It's that simple. Don't expect me to return to the crew. I will hold a press conference tomorrow to tell everyone that I'm leaving the crew. I'll tell you the truth, even if you carry eight sedan chairs or kneel in front of me, I won't go back."

Lin Lei was stunned to hear Liu Jiaying's vicious words and almost fainted. Fortunately, his psychological quality was really good, and he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart. However, without waiting for him to say something, Liu Jiaying hung up the phone directly and did not give him a chance to speak.

Listening to the "beep" sound from the receiver, Lin Lei had the urge to smash his phone. As the emperor in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, how could an artist challenge him as unscrupulously as Liu Jiaying?

Reason defeated impulse, and Lin Lei did not smash the phone, but placed it heavily on his desk.

When Lao Zhang saw Lin Lei's expression change, he understood that Lin Lei was angry with Liu Jiaying's harsh words just like him.

"Mr. Lin, what should we do now?" "Subversion" is the movie with the largest investment and highest expectations for Chinese movies. It took Lao Zhang countless efforts. As the director, he naturally hoped that the film could be released on time and then set the box office record in the shortest time.

Seeing the worried expression on Lao Zhang's face, Lin Lei couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he wanted to ask Lao Zhang how to solve this problem.

After all, the film has come to an end now, and the heroine is inevitable in the finale scene. Even the heroine is the most important character in the finale. At this time, Liu Jiaying withdrew, what can Lin Lei do?

A different heroine remake?

Lin Lei does not have the courage and will not do that. After all, not only does it mean to put the audience in such a way, the reinvested funds are also a lot of money. Lin Lei doesn't want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars like those blockbusters made by Haolai Tungsten, a movie that invests hundreds of millions of dollars.

Shaking his head and throwing the idea of ​​re-shooting another heroine out of the sky, Lin Lei asked tentatively: "Old Zhang, can you modify the plot so that the heroine will not appear in the finale?"

"It's definitely not possible." Old Zhang shook his head straightforwardly: "The essence of this movie is family, love, and friendship. It uses three to portray human nature. If the heroine is missing in the finale, love will be completely ruined. Mr. Lin, you also know how important the audience is to watch love now. Once the theme of love is lost, I can guarantee that the quality of this movie and the box office will be greatly reduced."

"I don't mean to cancel the theme of love. I just want you to think of a way to remove the heroine's last scene. Or you can think of a way to change the actress at the last moment." Lin Lei also knew that this made Lao Zhang very embarrassed, but he had no choice at this time.

This time, Lao Zhang did not immediately answer Lin Lei's words, but frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Lin, I'm going to say that it is impossible to remove the role of the heroine. As for changing an actor at the last moment, this is theoretically possible. As long as the plot is modified, the male protagonist is moved by another relationship or leave the original heroine for other reasons, and fall in love with a new woman. But in this way, the newly modified plot is not as touching as the old plot, and it is difficult to choose a new heroine."

"Why is it difficult to choose?" Lin Lei asked with a frown.

"The new heroine is not about other aspects. In terms of popularity alone, it must surpass Liu Jiaying, so that it can ensure that the box office will not be affected when the plot is changed." Lao Zhang was a little depressed and said, "But in the current form, the heroine who has changed the plot can only be played by Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong is the only actress in the Chinese entertainment industry who is more popular than Liu Jiaying. However, there is also a problem with this. Zhou Tong's acting skills are quite different from Liu Jiaying. After the plot is modified, Zhou Tong will play the new heroine. If the acting is too bad, it will not only affect the box office, but also affect Zhou Tong's popularity."

After hearing what Lao Zhang said, Lin Lei was also depressed!

It is a fact that Zhou Tong's popularity is higher than Liu Jiaying, but it is not much higher, and it is also a fact that Liu Jiaying's acting skills are worse than Liu Jiaying. If Liu Jiaying compares Zhou Tong in the film, it will only reduce Zhou Tong's popularity and increase Liu Jiaying's popularity. In this way, it is hard to say whether Liu Jiaying's popularity can surpass Zhou Tong, but it will definitely increase. At that time, Liu Jiaying was no longer a person of Hongxing. It is no benefit to Hongxing's popularity, and it is only a disadvantage.

"If the most popular female star in Haolai Tungsten is allowed to act as the new heroine's dialect after the plot is revised, do you think it can guarantee the box office?" After thinking for nearly two minutes, Lin Lei threw out a misunderstanding.

Hearing Lin Lei's words, Old Zhang opened his mouth wide in surprise, feeling a little disbelief. He said: "Mr. Lin, you... can you invite the most popular female star in Lai Tungsten today?"

As the most well-known director in China, Lao Zhang knew very well that it was impossible to invite Lai Tungsten’s most popular female star to shoot this movie. It was not that Lin Lei could not afford that money, but because some things were not something that could be done with money.

It is a recognized fact that American movies are much ahead of Chinese movies.

The most popular female star in Holai Tungsten has to watch the director and pay and roles when shooting movies in Holai Tungsten. In the end, she will choose whether to go or not. Where will she go to the film company under Hongxing to make movies?

That feeling is like. A senior lady in a five-star hotel would not run to the hair salon on the street to be a lady, which is unrealistic.

"Of course I don't have that ability, but Mr. Gu should be able to do it." Lin Lei showed a confident expression and said, "Some time ago, Zhou Tong joined Holai Tungsten and was operated by Mr. Gu. It is said... Mr. Gu only made one phone call."

Just make one phone call and let a Chinese female artist enter Horat Tungsten?

Hearing Lin Lei's words, Lao Zhang felt that something must have happened to his ears!

As the most well-known director in China, he knows all the tricks in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and he also knows that in Hong Kong, Lin Lei is the local emperor of the entertainment industry, but in fact Gu Feng is the real ruling!

However, that was only limited to Hong Kong. He didn't believe that Gu Feng could reach his hand to Hora Tungsten. After all, there were many gangs who took over Hora Tungsten, and the strength of some gangs was not comparable to that of Hongxing.

In fact, Lin Lei didn't know whether Gu Feng had that energy, but just because he witnessed a series of deeds after Gu Feng joined the Red Star. In addition, Gu Feng sent Zhou Tong to Holai Tung to make him feel blindly confident about Gu Feng.

What Lin Lei didn't know was that Gu Feng could do it, and it could do it easily.

Because the Gambino family is one of the most powerful and most powerful among all the gangster families of Horatungsten.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Gambino family's status in Holy Tungsten is similar to that in Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Of course, Hongxing is in Hong Kong because there are no competitors and can cover up the sky. The Gambino family's status in Holy Tungsten has no artists or directors who don't give face.

Lao Zhang, a guy who has become famous all over the country and even has gained reputation abroad because of the Olympics, is known as the most famous director in China. He swallowed hard, tried his best to adjust his emotions, and said: "If Mr. Gu can really invite the most popular female star of Holai Tungsten, I am confident that the box office after the plot is revised is higher than before the plot is modified!"

"Are you sure?" As an authentic businessman, Lin Lei was extremely cautious when doing anything. At this time, he did not believe it immediately when he heard Lao Zhang's swearing words.

Old Zhang glared at Lin Lei with some depression and said, "Mr. Lin, my reputation is not made with money, but earned little by little by little by little by little by little. I am not a person who makes a living by verbalism. As a Chinese director, I really hope to see that the stars in my country are better than those in foreign countries. However, the facts show that the acting skills of those stars in the country and the acting skills of these stars in our country are not at the same level, and they can even be said to be several levels higher. If you can equip me with the best female stars in the world to be the heroine, if I can't even guarantee the box office, then I might as well stop making movies in the future. Just buy a piece of tofu and kill them!"

Listening to Lao Zhang's both angry and joking words, Lin Lei smiled very happily. The depression caused by Liu Jiaying's withdrawal from the crew of "Subversion" disappeared without a trace. He picked up his phone again, let out a deep breath, and said, "I'll call Mr. Gu now and ask Mr. Gu to come over and have a detailed discussion."

"Mr. Lin, wait." Old Zhang, like a pervert, saw a very beautiful woman, rushed to Lin Lei in the shortest time, grabbed Lin Lei's arm tightly, and prevented Lin Lei from dialing the phone.

"Lao Zhang, are you?" Lin Lei was frightened by Lao Zhang's actions. If he hadn't had a very good relationship with Lao Zhang and knew the truth about Lao Zhang, Lin Lei even doubted whether Lao Zhang had that tendency.

Seeing that Lin Lei had no time to dial the phone, Old Zhang breathed a sigh of relief first, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, since Mr. Gu has such a great amount of energy, why don't we make good use of it?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Lei seemed to understand something.

"Since Mr. Gu can invite the biggest female star of Holai Tungsten, he can definitely invite the biggest male star, and as for those first-tier stars, it's even more difficult." Thinking that the film directed by him will be played by the world's best actors, Lao Zhang is as excited as a widow who has been widowed for many years and suddenly meets his beloved man and has a carnival: "Since we can invite them, we can use their fame to create momentum. I think, with the plot of the film "Subversion", as long as there are several big-name stars of Holai Tungsten joining, are you afraid that the box office will not be guaranteed?"

"Do you want to shoot again?" Lin Lei finally understood Lao Zhang's thoughts and was shocked.

"Mr. Lin, believe me, as long as the big-name stars such as Haolai Tungsten can join this video, I can make the box office of this video among the top ten in the global movie box office!" Lao Zhang patted his chest with a confident expression on his face.

Lin Lei stared at Lao Zhang thoughtfully for a few seconds and said, "I have no right to decide on this matter. Let's wait until Mr. Gu comes."
