Chapter 726 does not involve the law
Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui just breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Feng continued: "Qitian Media has a very strong background. This time I rejected their request for a shareholding. They are likely to They will retaliate against us. "
In view of Qitian Media's possible tricks, Chen Feng told Sun and Wu to vaccinate them in advance. .
The two women were a little surprised when they heard this.
Wu Mengting asked: "How strong is the background of Qitian Media? Can they still block us?"
Chen Feng nodded and said: "They have the strength."
"Is this impossible?" Wu Mengting said in surprise, "They are not a relevant department, they are just a private enterprise. Do they have such great power?"
Chen Feng He said: "I just said that their background is very powerful. You should understand what I mean, right? They are a private company, but they have deep personal connections behind them. They can block us in disguise and let people in the circle Other companies and even actors and artists If you don’t cooperate with our company, you may also use relationships to prevent our company from successfully obtaining the filming license and distribution license.”
Wu Mengting’s face changed slightly when she heard this, and she immediately said: “Today I will. We have just submitted the application form for the filming license. They are not really able to block us, right?”
The province can approve TV series production and filming licenses, and Chen Feng has a relationship with Li Shengping in the province. , if there is no external pressure, it can basically be approved.
But I'm afraid that like the last time "The Sapphire Case" happened, the filming permit was obtained, but after a few days of filming, it was ordered to stop filming, or it was simply not allowed to be released and screened after filming. That would be the biggest loss.
Otherwise, if the permit cannot be approved at the beginning, there will be no need to take pictures and money will be saved.
So, Chen Feng thought about it and said: "This shouldn't block us. If it does, it will only happen in the middle of the photo, or after the photo is finished."
Wu Mengting's expression changed after hearing this. It was even worse. He frowned and said, "They are so unreasonable. Why?" If they want to buy shares, we have to agree to them? If they don’t buy shares, we will retaliate. Is there any law?”
Chen Feng said with a smile: “What’s more, this kind of thing is also enforced by people. It’s not about the law, it’s about the world.”
Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him and said: "You can still laugh. This is an 80 million project. The budget may be increased later, maybe even to 100 million. If it costs so much money to film, it will not be shown, and it will be directly If it falls in our hands, our losses will be too great.”
Chen Feng is free and easy. Yi smiled and said: "It's a waste of time. Don't worry too much. You just need to continue to implement this project step by step. You don't have to worry about other things."
"You have a way to solve it. ? Or agree to the other party's request for investment?" Wu Mengting asked curiously.
"There must be a way. As for agreeing to the other party's investment, that is impossible. Anyway, you can continue to work with peace of mind. I will handle this matter."
Chen Feng looked confident Wu Mengting looked doubtful, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions and went upstairs to take a shower.
As soon as she left, Sun Xiaorui, who had been silent, said, "Brother Feng, since Qitian Media is so powerful in the industry, I'm afraid that after receiving the news, those colleagues in the industry will withdraw their investment and be unwilling to cooperate with us. "
Chen Feng nodded and said: "It is possible, but these investors will withdraw immediately. It is not impossible for us to provide all the funds."
Sun Xiaorui said hesitantly. : "In this case, are our risks too great?"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. And I am very optimistic about this project, and I believe in Mengting's ability. As long as this is combined Once the first "Meet You Again" is released, I believe it will be the second "The Sapphire Case" and it may even be more popular. By then our profits will be amazing."
Sun Xiaorui felt the same when she saw what Chen Feng said. Makes sense.
As for whether Chen Feng can deal with the revenge and difficulties caused by Qitian Media, Sun Xiaorui has great confidence in him.
This is a kind of inertia of thinking. Since Chen Feng said it can be solved, then he can definitely solve it. Sun Xiaorui has blind trust and admiration for him.
It was a quiet night. Lu Sijia did not call Chen Feng suddenly, and there was no other news that was not conducive to him and Fengmang Film and Television.
But on the second day, there was a sudden change. First of all, Star Media suddenly gave up on investing in the new project "Meet You Again" by Fengmang Film and Television, and directly transferred the company originally stationed at Fengmang Film and Television. A vice president nearby withdrew, and the public relations efforts of the past few days were in vain.
Other entertainment companies and investors that had been rushing to invest in this project have all stopped and stopped lobbying Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting through various connections.
It suddenly became quiet.
This abnormal situation left some uninformed people confused, but as insiders, Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting immediately understood what was going on.
Qitian Media took action, directly forcing the originally eager investors to retreat.
Without these investors, Fengmang Film and Television fully invests in this new project, and the risks will of course increase infinitely.
At noon, Yang Ziying’s agent Hao Xiaolian suddenly visited Fengmang Film and Television in person, and first found Wu Mengting.
In Wu Mengting's office, Hao Xiaolian exchanged simple greetings with Wu Mengting for a while, then looked embarrassed and said to her: "Mr. Wu, I came here today to apologize to you."
After saying this, Hao Xiaolian stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Mengting.
Wu Mengting's expression changed, and she quickly stood up, stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Sister Lian, what are you doing? Why do you bow to me so well? What do you apologize for?"
Hao Xiaolian Yi The face looks apologetic, ashamed After being stunned for a while, he sighed and said: "We Ziying may not be able to cooperate with you this time. I am really sorry, so sorry."
After saying this, Hao Xiaolian said to her again. Wu Mengting bowed slightly, looking apologetic.
Wu Mengting didn't stop her this time, and her expression became quite ugly.
Although she had vague speculations in her mind just now, she truly believed it after receiving confirmation. You can imagine the anger in her heart.
This drama was tailor-made for Yang Ziying, and now the project team has been officially established, and several main creative members of the crew are also ready. Among them, Yang Ziying, who is the default heroine, is of course the most important. So serious, but ended up suddenly quitting.
Isn’t this just a trick on her?
She was supposed to sign a formal contract with Yang Ziying in the next two days, but now she had to give up her burden, which was quite disgusting and angry. "Mr. Wu, there is nothing we can do about it. You have offended Qitian Media, and now they have announced that they will completely ban your company. Any company or artist who cooperates with you will also be banned by them. This time They also knew that Zi Ying was starring in the project, so they directly asked Zi Ying to withdraw from the project
Otherwise, several of our Ziying’s commercial endorsements are likely to go to waste, and they will also block us. First of all, our company could not withstand the pressure and hoped that Ziying would not star in the role, but Ziying still insisted on acting, saying that she really liked the script. The company sent me to be the bad guy to tell you this. "
Wu Mengting asked with a cold face: "So, she still hopes to act in this drama? "
Hao Xiaolian nodded: "She wants to act, but it's not realistic. As long as you agree, I will convince her. This drama is good, but Qitian Media's capabilities are too strong. They have the power to force brand owners to terminate their contracts with Ziying. If that happens, Ziying's losses will be too great. "
" Qitian Media really has so much energy? "Wu Mengting expressed doubts.
Hao Xiaolian smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know, right? Qitian Media is considered a tyrant in our circle. As long as they have a favorite project, they will interfere with it. Several of our company's projects have been
They invested heavily, and Ziying was also robbed by Zheng Jingjing from their company. A lot of resources were taken away, including Shiseido’s endorsement, which cost tens of millions. We dare not speak out against them, so we can only avoid them because we can’t afford to offend them.” br>
"What is their background and relationship?" Wu Mengting was really curious.
Hao Xiaolian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know the details, but everyone is afraid of them, and there must be a reason to be afraid."
After hearing what she said, Wu Mengting's anger subsided slightly.
The other party did not intentionally want to break the contract, but was forced by the big devil, Qitian Media.
Wu Mengting softened her tone slightly and said: "I know what you mean, but I think you'd better discuss it with Sister Ziying. This play was originally tailor-made for her. If she It would be a shame to miss this show. If the film is done well, it will not only consolidate and enhance her reputation, but may even take her career to the next level."
Hao Xiaolian said helplessly: "This is mainly what our company means. Several company executives cannot stand up to Qitian Media If Ziying insists on being the heroine, she will suffer a lot."
Wu Mengting suddenly asked: "Do you think Qitian Media has taken over our company?"
Hao Xiaolian. He shook his head and said, "I really don't know this. "I only know that Qitian Media is powerful now, and our company cannot withstand their pressure and can only comply with their demands. If one day you and Qitian Media reconcile, we can continue to deal with you." Cooperation.”
Wu Mengting immediately snorted with dissatisfaction and said: "If that happens, I don't think I need to cooperate with you."
Hao Xiaolian was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "You have to know that we are also very concerned about this matter. "I'm in a dilemma, I can't help myself."
Wu Mengting's tone turned cold and said: "I want to hear her tell me to quit, you said it." It doesn’t count.”
“Okay.” Hao Xiaolian nodded solemnly, “I’ll tell her when I get back. I’m really sorry. I’ll take my leave now.”
Hao Xiaolian also knew that Wu Mengting was angry now, so she didn't want to stay any longer. After bowing slightly again, she came out of her office.
After closing the office door, Hao Xiaolian breathed a long sigh of relief, and then shook her head. She was not a bad person. Not only did she have to come to Fengmang Film and Television to apologize, she also had to apologize to Yang Ziying when she got back, and she also had to do her best. Ideological work.
After coming out of Wu Mengting's side, Hao Xiaolian went to the general manager Lu Sijia and apologized to her.
This is not only the request of her company, as she does not want to offend Fengmang Film and Television and Chen Feng, but it is also her own idea. In the future, she still hopes that Yang Ziying can maintain a cooperative relationship with Fengmang Film and Television.
But unfortunately, if Yang Ziying withdraws this time, there is a high probability that Fengmang Film and Television will not cooperate with her again in the future.
Wu Mengting quickly called Chen Feng to tell her about the matter, and then complained: "It's a shame that I valued her so much and trusted her, and I worked so hard to tailor this good script for her, but she But I became a deserter.”
Chen Feng laughed and said: "Didn't Hao Xiaolian say that she herself is willing to continue acting?"
Wu Mengting snorted: "This is just a lie to ignorant children. If there is no such big star as Yang Ziying, With her approval, how could Hao Xiaolian, an agent, come and terminate the contract with us without permission? "
"It makes sense, but it may not be what you think. Yang Ziying is indeed very different. Chang likes the script you wrote for her, and she even took the initiative to reduce her salary. She really wants to star in this drama."
"Maybe, but I think the best result is still the same. , Yang Ziying must not be able to withstand the pressure.”
Chen Feng agreed: “Yes, since Qitian Media is so awesome, Yang Ziying, a big star, must not be able to withstand the pressure in the end.”
Wu Mengting said with some distress: "My drama is originally a drama with a female protagonist, and it is tailor-made for her. If she quits, what will we do? Will the project be abandoned?"
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he said: "The project team has been established and the preparatory work is almost done. How can we give up? The worst we can do is choose another person. Although this script is tailor-made for Yang Ziying, it cannot be done by others. It’s definitely not possible. At most, you, the screenwriter, can change some of the heroine’s settings.”
“Who can we find to replace Yang Ziying now?”
“Look for someone from our company first, if not. , just open the recruitment of actresses. You can always find the right one.”
“If you find an unknown actress, the effect will be greatly reduced.”
"As long as the script is good and the filming is good, the audience can still buy it without a big star. Don't worry about that."
"That's true, but of course it's best to use big stars. At least the ratings will be guaranteed.”
“If the show is not good, even if you let the biggest stars act, not many people will buy it. "
"Okay, I understand. If it doesn't work, I'll just change the script. But do I really want to continue this project?"
"Of course, Kai Gong didn't. It’s time to turn around. The project team has been established and the main creative staff are basically in place. We definitely can’t give up halfway.”
"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say. Then I will continue to work hard."
"Well, just continue. If something happens, I will bear it."
>Hearing Chen Feng's confident look, Wu Mengting felt relieved and put aside the pressure from Qitian Media for the time being.
