Volume 2 Chapter 1341: It’s Really Different with a Backstage
The director wanted to say that he had asked and there was nothing to ask. He was about to speak when he saw Gu Ziming walking over holding Qiao Man's hand.
Although it was getting dark, the lights on the crew's side were on, so it was very bright.
Gu Ziming held Qiao Man's hand and walked step by step. Looking at them like this, the director had a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be that Qiao Man had already given Gu Ziming some advice, and then Young Master Gu changed his mind.
The director had countless ideas in his mind, and he walked up bravely.
"Young Master Gu, when did you come?"
"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Gu Ziming said.
two points? It was now past five o'clock, so the director knew exactly where Gu Ziming was during the three hours in between.
While they were talking, Cao Yu came over.
Xia Yingying saw the tears on Cao Yu's face and had a bad feeling. She looked at Qiao Man, who had a smile on her lips.
Xia Yingying couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. Qiao Man climbed onto Gu Ziming. The leading female role in this drama must be returned.
However, Qiao Man is just Gu Ziming's lover, how long can she be proud of it!
"Young Master Gu, why don't you say anything to me when you're here?" The director asked with a smile. He asked the staff to bring a chair and asked Gu Ziming to sit down.
Gu Ziming did not sit down, but gave his seat to Qiao Man.
"I'm just doing some personal things, it depends on the individual." Gu Ziming replied to the director.
What this meant was that he came here for Qiao Man.
The director didn't know how to answer, so he laughed twice.
"Director, there is something we agreed on before we started shooting this movie."
"I'll give you whatever money you want, but the heroine of this drama must be Qiao Man." Gu Ziming said quietly. He has been in the entertainment industry for many years and founded an entertainment company. He is no longer the young boy he used to be.
Whether it's the aura he exudes or the tone of his voice, he exudes a kind of majesty that cannot be ignored by others. A single look can suppress the other person.
Such a man is developed through time and experience.
"Yes, yes, yes." The director followed Gu Ziming's words and said.
He was shocked by Gu Ziming's words.
"Young Master Gu, before changing roles, I called you and you agreed." The director explained.
"Okay?" Gu Ziming smiled, "I don't remember that I said yes clearly."
On the phone, he said, "I understand."
The director wanted to replace Qiao Man, so he naturally interpreted Gu Ziming's words as "Okay."
"You said 'I got it,'" the director said.
"Then how do you say 'ok.'" Gu Ziming smiled mockingly and put his hand on Qiao Man's shoulder.
"The lead female lead in this drama is agreed to be Qiao Man. No matter how poorly she performs, she still belongs to her."
Gu Ziming said again seriously, his tone was so sharp that the director was so shocked that he didn't know what to say in reply.
The director really didn't expect that Gu Ziming would come and arrive on the set so quickly.
At that time, he understood that Gu Ziming agreed and wanted to use Qiao Man to go back and complain. Gu Ziming knew that he should film more of Chen Xiang's role in this drama.
Waiting for Gu Ziming to come over and deal with it, half of the plot was filmed. For the benefit of the company, I wanted Gu Ziming to compromise, and finally decided to let Cao Yu be the female lead.
"Young Master Gu, it's Qiao Man's acting skills that are so bad." The director looked down at Qiao Man, who was sitting on a chair watching the show, and said.
"What she plays is completely unwatchable."
The director said that he wanted to rewind the filming plot so that Gu Ziming could see Qiao Man's performance.
"I can't let her ruin my show."
The director said anxiously. He put a lot of effort into this drama and spent a lot of money on it.
No, all the money for this drama was spent by Gu Ziming.
"I just said that no matter how bad her acting is, the leading female role is still hers." Gu Ziming said in a cold tone, looking at the director coldly.
"Director, do you need me to speak more clearly?"
Gu Ziming continued, "I spent money on your drama just for Qiao Man."
"If you insist on replacing someone, you can just spit out all the money I gave you." Gu Ziming lowered his voice, looked at the director, and chuckled, "You still have to compensate for my losses."
"You broke the contract."
If the director doesn't want Qiao Man, he's breaking the contract. Gu Ziming not only wanted to withdraw his capital, but also wanted him to pay compensation.
These words made the director take a step back.
Gu Ziming spent a lot of money on this drama. Whether it was costumes, lighting, or scenes, the director used the best.
If you have money, all these things are nothing.
And the script is outstanding. As long as the actors' acting skills are better, this drama will definitely be a hit.
Once Gu Ziming withdraws his investment, he will be asked to compensate. Not only will the film fail to be filmed, but he will also have to lose all his money.
Looking for other investors, not to mention whether Gu Ziming would join him in the middle, but where to find them in such a short time!
Gu Ziming was forcing him!
"Gu Ziming, don't bully others too much." The director gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
Investors are the bosses of the crew. In this drama, Gu Ziming fully supported Qiao Man and never thought of letting other investors come in.
For Qiao Man's sake, he wanted to keep his word in this drama.
"I'm just going too far." Gu Ziming curled his lips and said with a smile.
The director turned pale with anger from Gu Ziming. He clenched his fists. No matter how much he hated or disagreed with Gu Ziming's words, there was nothing he could do.
Others on the crew did not dare to say anything. This was a matter between the investors and the director, and they were not qualified to interfere.
Cao Yu watched the director being speechless by Gu Ziming, and saw that the role she had obtained was about to be returned to Qiao Man. She looked at Qiao Man sitting on the chair and said to Qiao Man with a mocking look on her face, "Qiao Man, your acting skills are obviously not good."
"If you acted well, why would the director replace you?"
"Now because of you, the director and Mr. Gu are quarreling. Do you think you should do it?" After Cao Yu finished speaking, Xia Yingying also laughed.
With these words, Cao Yu smoothly turned his attention to Qiao Man.
Even if Qiao Man gets the role back later, people will keep talking about her based on her acting skills.
If Qiao Man had sense and given the role to Cao Yu, then Qiao Man could still live in peace with the others on the set.
"Should!" As Xia Yingying waited to see Qiao Man's answer, she heard two faint words.
Xia Yingying thought she heard wrongly. She looked at Qiao Man, and Qiao Man raised his head and looked at her.
"Young Master Gu invested in this drama because of me." In the past, Qiao Man was arrogant and proud. If anyone bullied her, she would definitely return the favor tenfold.
Five years later, Qiao Man kept a low profile, living her life with her neck tucked into a turtle shell. This is not the first time that Xia Yingying and Cao Yu have been quarreling with each other. She had retorted and fought before, but her attitude was not as strong as this time. Xia Yingying smiled sarcastically, it was really different having a backstage.
