Dust is like a city

Chapter 177 Procrastination

Xie Xia was shocked when she learned from Kevin that Xingcheng planned to sign Yu Yang.

Although Xie Xia didn't know what the disputes in the ATCITY group were in the early days, since Chen Qianchen confessed to her about her relationship with Jiang Gao, and asked herself to investigate Yu Yang's affairs before the release of "Three Thousand Days", she I know more or less.

In a small way, Yu Yang and Chen Qianchen just didn't deal with each other.

"Is it really Mr. Huo who signed it himself?" Xie Xia couldn't help but confirm again.

"If you want to say personally, it's not true, but it's almost the same." Kevin lamented, "I've already given him his business card, how can I drive him away? Who knows what Mr. Huo is thinking?"

Xie Xia said: "Does he know? The feud between Yu Yang and Qian Chen...?"

Kevin pondered for a while: "Maybe... don't know? I don't know about this either. I don't know exactly how they met, and it's impossible for me to inquire about the boss's privacy."

Xie Xia also couldn't figure out Huo Rongxuan's move, was it really a pure coincidence?Or was it intentional...to anger Chen Qianchen?

But in Xie Xia's impression, Huo Rongxuan is not such a childish person.

Seeing that Xie Xia was silent, Kevin said: "Well, I just want to ask you, since you don't know about this, you should also be reminded, after all... the signing is probably a certainty, but this signing As soon as the news of this incident is announced in the media, it will definitely have some impact on Qian Chen. Anyway, you should talk to Qian Chen and prepare him in advance. Since he is at odds with this Yu Yang, if he suddenly hears the news, it will be terrible. What a shock..."

They are also gold medal-level managers. Of course, Xie Xia understands what Kevin said. She hesitated and said, "Kevin, can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"It should be possible to arrange Yu Yang's signing in a low-key manner, right? Don't make it public to the media, at least delay it for a while..." Xie Xia sighed softly, "The situation on our side Now... it's really bad..."

"Ah... are you okay?" Kevin asked concerned.

"You also know that Qianchen's other teammate said something wrong in front of the media two days ago. The public opinion has been under great pressure these two days. Now that the film is progressing to a critical moment, many investors are a little shaken." Xie Xie Xia paid attention to her surroundings, and said in a low voice, "I asked through my relationship before that Qianchen's "Longsheng" was shortlisted for the Asian Sea Film Festival in the first half of the year, and the possibility of winning the award is not small, but this kind of If the reviews are bad during the period, it is likely to lose the chance to win the award, and the crisis this time is by no means smaller than the last time. Now the investors on the movie side have not made things difficult, but they have taken a fancy to this film. They probably want to watch it too. Let's see if Qianchen can get some results in Yahai after Baeksang Film Festival."

When Xie Xia said this, Kevin immediately understood the pros and cons. Although Chen Qianchen is no longer an artist of Xingcheng, he still has affection, and he is willing to help if he can: "Okay, I will try my best... But it can only do this, he signed Xingcheng, I can't cheat him after all."

"I understand, thank you..." Xie Xia also understands Kevin's position. In fact, she is already very grateful that he can make this call today. It is actually a bit embarrassing for Kevin to do this. After all, Kevin still has to Trying to figure out Huo Rongxuan's mind to praise people.

Yes... Huo Rongxuan.What Xie Xia doesn't understand now is Huo Rongxuan.

After hanging up the phone with Kevin, Xie Xia considered whether to ask Chen Qianchen. After all, they met once after Huo Rongxuan returned to China. She didn't know the specific situation. At that time, she only asked Chen Qianchen, "Are you reconciled? "

Chen Qianchen also only answered two words: "Divided."

So what exactly happened that day?Is it deadlocked?That's why Huo Rongxuan signed Yu Yang?

Xie Xia wanted to ask him, but seeing Chen Qianchen reading the script quietly over there, she was discouraged again.

Whether it's filming or other things, these days Chen Qianchen is under enough pressure. He is obviously such a hard-working, motivated and down-to-earth person, why is life so difficult?

Chen Qianchen is a smart person, and he is not ignorant of many things, such as the feeling that some investors of "South City and North of Time" are quite dissatisfied with him.

They are all businessmen, and the purpose of businessmen is naturally to make a profit. The expectations for this movie are very high, and the initial investment alone can throw away a big production at will.But the topic of the male protagonist is too high, and this topic is not a good topic. Since Lu Zhexiao gave an intriguing answer in front of the media, the voices on the Internet can be said to be biased day by day. There is support His, as well as those who supported Yu Yang, the scolding battle continued for several days and the fans did everything they could to discredit each other. All in all, the current reputation of both of them was terrible.

Some people who are tired of watching this face-tearing drama just said lightly: "I don't think they are good people, and the whole group is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

This result is also a lose-lose, right?

These days Chen Qianchen has been staying on the set, he doesn't know if there will be a worse situation on his side in the future, the only thing he can do is to work hard to make the film well before being affected more.

But even so, he still occasionally saw people from the investors on the set, and heard them talking with Lin Fengping once or twice about adding supporting roles, weakening the role of the leading role, etc., or during publicity. If it is changed to the second male lead, it will be a double male lead at worst.

Of course, Lin Fengping refused. As a famous director, he has the right to insist on how to shoot his own film. He also said that many details of this film were discussed by his old classmates, and he could not change a single line.

The investors didn't do anything to him for the time being, but Chen Qianchen knew very well that although Lin Fengping was tough, in such a big domestic environment, he still had to learn how to be soft after all. Once the investors withdraw their capital or cause unnecessary economic disputes, The one who suffers is the movie itself, even an internationally famous director like Lin Fengping is under a lot of pressure.

Thinking that all of this was because of himself, Chen Qianchen still felt very sorry.

The only good news in the past few days is probably from Xie Xia. "Longsheng" has been shortlisted for the Yahai Film Festival. This is really encouraging news. Chen Qianchen is not entirely happy from the bottom of his heart. It is for myself, but because "Longsheng" itself is an extremely excellent work, and being recognized, it really feels like everything I gave has value.

Xie Xia also attaches great importance to this film festival, so after careful consideration, she decided not to tell Chen Qianchen for the time being. She didn't want to affect Chen Qianchen about the signing of Yu Yang and Xingcheng. In fact, as long as the film festival goes well this time, no matter how many bad reviews there are, the influence of the box office is always the most important thing for investors, followed by the popularity of the public.

So Xie Xia was busy with the film festival, and the most important thing was to find the best foreign styling team to do the styling for Chen Qianchen at the film festival.

The styling team of this foreign aid is expensive. Xie Xia often cooperated with them when she was still in China five years ago. After Xie Xia left for a few years, the team has grown bigger and bigger. Now it is well-known in the fashion circle. Yes, not everyone can invite them. They are very picky when it comes to styling artists. They don’t do artists who are not established in the fashion circle, and they don’t do people who have no reputation in the world. The reason why they can do it this time Being invited was purely for Xie Xia's face.

Of course, inviting this styling team also increased the burden on the studio. Others criticized Xie Xia's decision, thinking it was too much. There are many teams that can do good styling, and the price is not cheap As for being so outrageous, why invite someone so exaggerated.

But Xie Xia is very firm on this point. She absolutely does not allow her artists to wear high imitation or counterfeit clothing in any public place. Once it is recorded by the camera, it will be a stain that can never be washed away. It's not enough to be hacked, but there will always be many people who will make fun of these things after the artist becomes famous.If the bigwigs in the fashion circle know about it, then others will treat you as a joke, even if the door of the fashion circle is really closed to this artist.

So even if she slapped her face swollen to pretend to be fat, Xie Xia would never allow any mistakes at the film festival.

Although the studio's debts and bills were shocking, Chen Qianchen didn't ask Xie Xia anything like the others.He believed in Xie Xia's decision and knew that the choice Xie Xia made must be the best choice after her deliberation.So without saying a word, he just calmly cooperated with Xie Xia and the team of stylists to determine some details and time.

On the other hand, Yu Yang's speed is not slow.

When Kevin went to talk to LCO about Yu Yang's contract, the other party didn't make things difficult, or Yu Yang has no value to LCO, of course he is extremely happy to let go, and the one who wants to sign Yu Yang is Xingcheng Company, The background of Xingcheng is well known in the industry, since it is the person Xingcheng wants, who would dare to snatch it?It is a good thing to buy thin noodles along the way.

So in Kevin's unexpected success, the contract was quickly negotiated, and only a liquidated damages of 10,000+ was paid.This is simply easier than when Chen Qianchen was signed from He Sheng.

Kevin was shocked and depressed.He promised Xie Xia to drag it on for a while, but he didn't expect the matter to be dealt with so quickly, and he really had a headache.

Satisfied, Yu Yang got rid of the LCO and signed a contract with Xingcheng. Apart from some announcements and resources, the only thing he was waiting for was Xingcheng's release of this news.He was very sure that once this news came out, it would definitely have a great impact on Chen Qianchen. As long as the public opinion was not favorable to Chen Qianchen's side, then his side would be considered to have won.

But after waiting for a day or two, Xingcheng's official Weibo account remained silent, which made Yu Yang feel very strange.

So he deliberately probed Kevin's tone.

"Brother Kevin, in the written magazine interview you arranged for me earlier, there was a question about the agency, should I answer it truthfully?" Yu Yang entered Kevin's office and asked pretending to be distressed.

"Ah?" Kevin, who was buried in his work, was taken aback. He didn't remember which written magazine he arranged for Yu Yang to interview him. In order to let Yu Yang not pay attention to it, he has been slow to release news about his signing. The draft was specially thrown to him with a bunch of notices, hoping that the other party would temporarily forget about it when he was busy.

"Look..." Yu Yang pointed to a line of words on the printed paper, "The company's recent positioning of me...how should I answer? Everyone probably doesn't know that I signed Xingcheng, right?"

Kevin squinted his eyes and looked at the interview question, and found that it was the one to choose [-] answers out of [-]. He immediately waved his hand and said: "Hey, let's skip this question first, just answer the others .”

Yu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued: "Oh, then I know, I will skip the issues related to the economic company for the time being. After all, this kind of official news still needs to be released by the company, I understand."

Kevin felt his temples twitch, not sure if Yu Yang had noticed his tricks, and said awkwardly: "Cough...it's brother who was negligent, uh...well, I'm still thinking about your manager, We will release the draft only when Brother Nan is settled, heh, don’t worry...the company has to promote new people recently, and Brother Nan can’t do it alone.”

Yu Yang smiled calmly: "I understand, brother Kevin has worked hard, and I will definitely work hard."

"Yeah, it's good that you understand, well, hurry up and go to work, I'm going to see how the company's trainees are doing today, oh, what a bunch of little bastards, I'm so busy Yo..." Kevin said while wiping his sweat.

"Then I won't bother Brother Kevin anymore, I'll go first."

"Go, go." Kevin rubbed his brows and waved his hands, pretending to be tired, hoping that he would leave the office early.

After Yu Yang walked out, he closed the door politely, but the amiable expression disappeared the moment he turned around, becoming a bit sinister and cold.

He was pretty sure Kevin did it on purpose.
