Chapter 120 A Tacit Understanding
Lin Feng had just fired Jia Nailiang when Zhong Junyan, the chairman of Huanrui Century, called. It seemed that Jia Nailiang had already told her about the production crew's situation!
Just as Lin Feng was answering the phone, Jia Nailiang was still somewhat gloating. He had already embellished the story for Zhong Junyan. After all, the biggest investor in the drama "Swords of Legends" was H&R Century Pictures. Even if Jia Nailiang was wrong and added some scenes, he was still an employee of H&R Century Pictures and a producer on the set. "Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner." He didn't believe that H&R Century Pictures would not protect him or that the production team would really replace him, especially since he had already filmed quite a few scenes.
To Jia Nailiang's astonishment, Lin Feng not only dared to fire him, but also dared to directly confront Zhong Junyan of Huanrui Century.
"Lin Feng, what exactly happened? Jia Nailiang said you fired him on the spot, but we had an agreement beforehand! He's one of Huanrui's employees, you need to give me a proper reason for replacing him!"
Chung Kwan-yin started off with a questioning tone. Even if Jia Nailiang really had problems, he did represent H&R Century Pictures!
"Reason! Tell me what happened! Before I left, I specifically told you to take good care of the crew, and look what happened! You don't even know how far Jia Nailiang has gone with adding scenes!"
Is "Swords of Legends" my crew or Jia Nailiang's crew? You have to replace this person!
"If H&R Century doesn't change the cast, then I think you shouldn't invest in this drama. I still have the money."
Seeing Lin Feng's anger, Zhong Junyan remained silent for two seconds on the phone before stating directly, "No, Lin Feng, our cooperation is going well. I'll replace Jia Nailiang immediately. I'm coming over right now. Let's discuss the details in person!"
When Jia Nailiang heard that Zhong Junyan had given up on him without even considering it, he realized that the situation was hopeless. His expression changed again, and he pleaded, "Brother Feng, I was wrong! I was really wrong! Give me another chance. I won't change it. I'll film strictly according to the original script. Please forgive me this time!"
One minute you're calling me "Lin Feng," the next you're calling me "Brother Feng." I finally understand what kind of person you are! Lin Feng didn't say anything, just casually waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
Seeing that Lin Feng was unmoved, Jia Nailiang could only slink away. He had been so arrogant on set before, but this time no one paid him any attention when he left.
This time, Lin Feng deliberately "made an example of someone." On the surface, it was because Jia Nailiang added scenes, but in reality, it was because Jia Nailiang bullied Deng Shuang. Lin Feng couldn't get rid of this anger, and he was unhappy. But he couldn't say this to the outside world, so he could only fire Jia Nailiang for adding scenes.
At this point, it would be really silly for the other main members of the crew not to be able to distinguish between the "Big King" and the "Little King," and many people even applauded Lin Feng's move!
"Ah! Great, finally someone got rid of Jia Nailiang. He clearly doesn't know anything, yet he still gave orders blindly! He made me waste more than two hours of my time yesterday."
"Yeah! If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the boss. I don't know what he was so arrogant about. Luckily Lin Feng came, otherwise no one could have dealt with him."
"That's right. One minute it's like this, the next it's like that. There's no standard, and that's a problem. You can't do this when filming. It's just adding scenes randomly."
However, this "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" tactic was indeed effective. When Lin Feng spoke, everyone listened attentively. "Everyone else is off today, and their salaries will be calculated as normal. The director and screenwriter will stay and we will readjust the shooting schedule according to the original script. Of course, if you have any good opinions or suggestions, you can bring them up. As long as we don't make random changes or add scenes, and it's good for the story and the characters, I don't object to adding scenes and I'm willing to give everyone a chance to perform."
Finally, Lin Feng reiterated director Lin Yufen's position on the production team: "From now on, any issues requiring coordination during filming will be the responsibility of director Lin Yufen. Everything must be reported to her and approved before execution!"
After everyone left, Lin Feng spoke privately to Lin Yufen and emphasized, "Director Lin, I'm entrusting the crew to you. If similar problems arise again, I'll come after you!"
Of course, you can contact me if you need anything, but my main job is acting, and I don't like to disrupt my performance during filming.
"Don't worry, Lin Feng. You've been so supportive of me. If I don't make a good film of 'Swords of Legends' this time, I won't be able to make a living in the industry anymore."
From the moment Lin Feng joined the crew, he first fired Jia Nailiang, then stabilized morale, and finally promoted the director. This series of actions not only won the support of the entire crew, but also gave the whole team a fresh new look.
Yang Mi and Deng Shuang, who witnessed the entire process, both had shining eyes, though they were both "longing for their husbands."
However, what Yang Mi saw was different. She was more attracted to Lin Feng's strategic and commanding presence. This feeling was too alluring. When would she be able to do that herself, choosing whomever she wanted and changing whomever she wanted? At this moment, Yang Mi had even more fantasies about her studio, which would be an important way for her to enter the capital market.
Deng Shuang's feelings for Lin Feng were more about his protectiveness on her behalf, which gave her a sense of security that was both unsettling and domineering. This further increased her love for Lin Feng.
At this moment, Zhong Junyan from Huanrui Century also rushed over. As soon as they met, she sincerely apologized: "Lin Feng, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know about these things!"
I gave Jia Nailiang a good scolding on the way here. I never expected that he would do so many bad things behind the scenes. I promise he will never show up again.
However, the role of "Ouyang Shaogong," the second male lead, is also a very important one, and I can't think of a suitable person for it right now. Perhaps I could trouble you to take on the role?
This is hardly hard work; it's clearly a good thing. No wonder he's the chairman; he's so thoughtful about human relationships. Lin Feng, in turn, is also "returning the favor."
"Mr. Zhong, you're too kind. I'm planning to invest in my next film, but it seems I'm still short of funding. I'll have to trouble Huanrui to support me then!"
Lin Feng's next film investment is still nowhere in sight, but that doesn't stop him from saying this. After all, he has already secured multiple investors for his next film, including Enlight Media and EE-Media, so adding Huanrui Century wouldn't make a difference.
Chung Chun-yin's eyes lit up. Lin Feng was indeed more clear-headed than other celebrities. No wonder Wang Changtian of Enlight Media had such a high opinion of him!
"No problem at all! Huanrui has absolutely no issues. And don't worry, I'll be more attentive on set from now on, and this kind of thing will never happen again."
"Mr. Zhong, you're too kind. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant!"
The two shook hands without saying a word and reached this cooperation agreement, and the only one who was hurt in the process was Jia Nailiang.
But who should get the extra role of "Ouyang Shaogong" in "Gu Jian Qi Tan"?
Lin Feng didn't have a suitable candidate for the time being?
