Chapter 406 Dispute
Twenty days have passed since the Lantern Festival.
But the film and television and entertainment circles are still as lively as the Chinese New Year, with big dramas coming one after another.
Lin Nan didn’t ask much about Yue Jun’s phone number. Isn't it just gossip? Let's talk about it tomorrow.
……
"Oh, Lin Nan, come and help me."
Liu Yifei frowned and shouted.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
As soon as Lin Nan received a glass of water, he heard Liu Yifei calling him.
In the practice room, Miss Liu stood tremblingly on the wooden floor.
She held her right leg with both hands and moved forward, her face expressive, and the soles of her feet felt like they were being pricked by needles.
"Hahaha, you have been slacking off for months. It's strange that your legs and feet are numb after practicing for so long."
"You are still laughing, come here."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Nan put the cup aside, walked over and picked up Liu Yifei directly.
"Where?"
"Living room, sofa."
Liu Yifei put her arm around Lin Nan's neck and said crisply.
The needle-pricking sensation on her feet made her grin unconsciously, making Lin Nan laugh.
“Don’t laugh, or I’ll bite you!”
Miss Liu rolled her eyes at Lin Nan and threatened through gritted teeth.
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Yifei puffed up her cheeks and began to make plans for herself.
She decided to pick up her previous lessons from tomorrow. I'm so embarrassed today, Lin Nan actually laughed at me!
……
……
It has only been three or four days since the incident involving Yin Xiaotian, and there is big news here again.
Zhao Wenzhuo was unilaterally notified by the crew of "Special Identity" to terminate his contract.
A few days ago, the incident where the crew driver was hacked to death in the street has just been suppressed. Now that something like this happened again, this action movie has no choice but to become the center of attention.
While the mainland media had not yet realized what was going on, the Hong Kong media had already concluded and reported on it on a large scale:
"Mainland actor Zhao Wenzhuo was playing tricks in the group A big name, one person with 7 assistants, asked to change the script, and refused to start the work.
This caused the crew to stop filming for a week, causing heavy losses, so the crew decided to terminate the cooperation with Zhao Wenzhuo..."
Lin Nan turned to the announcement posted on Weibo by the crew of "Special Identity" yesterday afternoon.
The writing is good. The announcement listed Zhao Wenzhuo's faults. The crew tried their best to communicate with each other but failed, so they could only tearfully terminate the cooperation...
There is not a single curse word in the announcement, but they all say that this is a curse. An actor with no professional ethics.
How can I put it this way? The crew moved really fast. They found a Hong Kong actor in half a day to take over Zhao Wenzhuo's role.
After a night of fermentation, the comments under the crew announcement were very exciting.
“It’s been almost a month since we started filming, so we can’t just stop filming for no reason, right? There must be a reason!”
“No crew member has ever said that Zhao Wenzhuo is acting like a big name before...”< br>
......
"The rumor is that the crew and Zhao Wenzhuo really fell out because of the conflict between Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo.
As a producer and martial arts instructor, Donnie Yen 'slightly' modified Zhao Wenzhuo's role..."
...
In the morning, Zhao Wenzhuo and his lawyer held a press conference in the capital. ,
He and his lawyer refuted all the "crimes" stated by the crew one by one.
"It is completely different from the script that was received when signing the contract, and the director has also been changed. ……
My role was greatly cut, and I protested several times, but to no avail, and the script continued to be revised.
My action scenes were also constantly deleted by Donnie Yen, and the script with two male protagonists became his one-man show..."
"Divorce also requires an agreed divorce, Zhao Wenzhuo This is a unilateral termination of the contract, and the crew has violated the law. "
...
What made people in the industry funny was that Zhao Wenzhuo showed the media the notice sent to him by the crew: starting from 12 o'clock yesterday, the crew will no longer provide Zhao Wenzhuo with Accommodation, the reason is that the crew's budget is seriously over budget!
This is a brilliant star! Seriously overspending? !
Unlike the general announcement from the crew, after a press conference, Zhao Wenzhuo answered all the media's questions in detail.
In particular, Zhao Wenzhuo said something that excited all the reporters:
“With an investment cost of more than 100 million, I cannot bear the charge of serious overspending.
As for the overspending, it’s probably true, but only the crew knows where the money went.”
.........
Lin Nan turned off the computer. It had only been a day. Only the person involved knew the specific situation.
Yue Jun knocked on the door and reminded with some worry:
"Director Lin, "One Man's Martial Arts" has signed a contract with Zhao Wenzhuo. Once the script review is passed, the film filing will follow. . What is the current situation? "What does Yue Jun mean? Lin Nan understands.
The crew was quarreling over there, and they were going back and forth. Zhao Wenzhuo was obviously a serious person, and the press conference was all over. Listen to that, there is also the matter of "misappropriation of public funds"!
"It's still early, so don't worry too much about the impact on our movie. Compared to Donnie Yen, I still believe in Zhao Wenzhuo more. It's all based on comparison. Let's wait."
.........
"Special Identity" was also called "Ultimate Decoding" at first. Of course, these are two different projects.
The latter's original producer was Jackie Chan, and the director and screenwriter were Tan Bing. In the end, it went bankrupt and was changed to "Special Identity".
The entire production team was also changed, and finally Starlight was found to take over and secured full investment.
At this moment, Lu Zheng was only two heads tall.
Although he runs a film and television company, he never interferes with the crew. Apart from the requirement that the female lead must be Jing Tian, he has no other requirements.
"Made, anything bad can happen. Did they change the script later?"
Hearing Lu Zheng's question, the assistant nodded, "But it didn't affect Tiantian’s role..."
.........
In response to Zhao Wenzhuo's refutation of the crew, saying that the latter violated the contract and Donnie Yen arbitrarily modified the script, the crew's reply was very "skilled".
"The crew has Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Hanyu joining the cast. The producer and martial arts instructor Mr. Donnie Yen felt that he must make good use of this advantage.
Immediately, he designed some more action tricks, so he modified
But after Zhao Wenzhuo got the revised script, he thought it was different from the script when he signed the contract, and stopped acting for this reason.
Don’t actors just serve the crew and the movie? His behavior shows no basic professional ethics at all. ”
This reply is a bit evasive and does not even talk about the contract...
…………
I have to say that when it comes to entertainment news, Hong Kong media is still better than mainland media. I have experience.
It’s just a bit of a bias.
...
Lin Nan personally watched the post-editing of "Genius Gunslinger".
The tense and exciting atmosphere in the plot must be perfectly displayed.
Unlike the employees at Lin Nan Pictures who discussed Yin Xiaotian’s gossip, the employees at Tiangong Color actually preferred to watch the conflict between two action actors.
“I posted a post on Weibo, proposing that they both have a head-to-head fight, and whoever wins will listen.”
Lin Nan suddenly heard someone say this, and immediately thought it was funny.
“And then, how many people responded?” he asked jokingly.
"Haha, Director Lin, guess what. A large number of netizens commented that this is a good idea!"
"Kung fu actors, there is nothing wrong with using kung fu to speak!"
A group of technical men, when they come across topics of interest, are no less impressive than gossipy female employees. They also looked up their previous film and television works to prove which one is better at fighting. The innocence and cuteness of the science and engineering man are vividly reflected.
…………
The entertainment news outside is getting more and more lively.
Although the mainland media was slow to respond, they also followed up the report in a timely manner.
Here, Zhao Wenzhuo issued an article pointing out that the culprit behind the scenes was Donnie Yen;
Donnie Yen retorted that at first he resisted inviting Zhao Wenzhuo because of his bad character.
"For an actor like him who doesn't cooperate with the crew and has no professional ethics, I can be sure that no director will ask him to film in the future..."
In less than two hours, Donnie Yen was slapped in the face.
Liang Bojian, the director of "Wudang", expressed support for Zhao Wenzhuo on Weibo:
"The professionalism shown by Wenzhuo in "Wudang" and his cooperative attitude with the crew are obvious to all, and they are excellent. ”
Hey guys, this is the first director in the industry to speak out, and he is also a Hong Kong director!
For a time, the mainland media started to get to the bottom of it as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. There must be a lot of filth in this!
The incident expanded rapidly, from the two parties and the crew, to the media and the entire network, to the entire Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland film and television circles.
Zhao Wenzhuo is very strong, "They say I am trying to be a big name, but there is someone else who is trying to be a big name. Not only am I trying to be a big name, but I am also responsible for the crew's loss for half a month. Not to mention kicking me out of the crew. And it hurts my reputation..."
"I can confront you face to face. I have daily notices, start and end times, the original and final draft of the script, and even the photographer's shooting schedule. I didn't strike, I can file a lawsuit.
He violated the contract and arbitrarily deleted my scenes. Other actors who were bullied on the set did not dare to speak out for fear of being banned or losing their jobs. I was not afraid, it was no big deal. I’m in this business..."
Donnie Yen responded again, not hurting or hurting:
"Beware of being obstructed by villains and hiding murderous intentions. Disappointed, sad but unwavering. If you continue filming today, you will get better results! I have been in the industry for so many years , what kind of storm have you not seen before?”
The media went crazy and rushed to interview all the artists and actors who had worked with or interacted with the two.
At this point, the first artist to take a clear stand appears, Shu Qi!
She is the first Hong Kong star to stand up and write a long essay to clearly support and assist Donnie Yen.
"Zidan is an extremely dedicated and dedicated actor who takes everything seriously and just wants to present every scene perfectly in front of the audience, play his role well, and make a good movie... It is definitely not his problem. ”
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists began to leave.
In comparison, the mainland seems to have always been slow.
But at this time, the mainland entertainment industry also reacted. Something seemed a little wrong? !
