Chapter 474 Seek justice!
But there is no need to spread these words. Du Sheng smiled and said:
"Boss Yang, if you really mind, why don't you do this?
When we at Star Media come here, we hope that TVBS will take good care of us.”
Yang Xiuli immediately assured:
"Of course, no problem. As long as I am here, anyone from Star Media will be a VIP when they visit our TVBS station!
Even if this incident hadn't happened, our two families would still be close neighbors.
As long as you give me a call, I will definitely do my best in the future!"
She wasn't joking.
After all, TVB headquarters had just finished collaborating with Du Sheng on "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and there will inevitably be more collaborations in the future.
If we really calculate the relationship, it is definitely much closer than Comey Film and Television.
"Haha, with what Mr. Yang said, my trip today was not in vain!"
Du Sheng raised his glass with a smile.
Although there were only two parties left in the box at this moment, the atmosphere was even more lively than before.
Liu Yiyan felt a little relieved as she watched people toasting each other over there.
This time, not only Tong Liya can keep the female lead role, but the other two artists can also be retained.
It can be said that Du Sheng resolved the incident quite satisfactorily this time when he crossed the sea.
As for whether Comey Films will become angry and ashamed?
That's none of their business.
According to Du Sheng, if the other party continues to cause trouble, the worst that can happen is that the crew will be moved back to the mainland.
Maybe we should just put the production on hold and fight the lawsuit to regain the rights first.
.........
On the other side, Feng Jiarui returned to his studio and sat at his desk without saying a word.
Cheng Yuxi held a few documents and asked carefully:
"Master, are we really going to break off cooperation with Star Media?"
"What, you think I'm kidding?
If I continue to cooperate with that bastard, where will I put my old face?"
"Master, you misunderstood. I meant that our layout in the mainland market might be affected.
Moreover, this "It Started with a Kiss" has to cooperate with Interstellar Media, and then it will appear..."
Now that the parties have signed the contract, it would be impossible to produce this drama without Star Media.
But Feng Jiarui has already said that he will no longer cooperate with her in the future, which makes Cheng Yuxi feel very embarrassed.
If she had made the decision, even if they stopped cooperating in the future, they wouldn't have fallen out like this.
But then again, if she was in charge, why would she fall out with someone over something like this?
In fact, she also felt that her godfather's actions this time were somewhat inconsiderate.
Not only did he agree to the role offer from Bada TV for no reason, but he also wanted to block Star Media. How can you do things this way?
Even if we use resources to compensate, we can still make some adjustments.
However, she had long been accustomed to her godfather's stubbornness.
Fortunately, he finally promised to maintain the status quo and start filming once preparations were completed.
"If anything goes wrong in the future, you can let TVBS and Star Media communicate, and we don't need to worry about it anymore."
Cheng Yuxi hesitated to speak, and could not help asking:
"Godfather, what do you think we should say to Bada TV?"
Feng Jiarui sneered:
"We should retreat to advance, and let Yang Yukui and Xu Xi help them to fight against Star Media..."
After listening to this, Cheng Yuxi thought about it carefully and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
It turns out that Godfather's previous anger was mostly pretended?
In the hotel on the other side, although Du Sheng was not sure what was going on, he could guess it.
But he didn't care about it. Instead, he was busy receiving the director of the crew.
A kind man was sitting on one side of the sofa, looking kind and honest.
"Director Qu..."
"Du Sheng, just call me by my name!"
The honest man is quite humble and not as difficult to deal with as those famous directors.
Du Sheng reviewed the information about the director in front of him.
Qu Youning entered the entertainment industry in 90. Although he possessed writing talent beyond his age, he chose to start as a screenwriter, following the path of "being a good writer and then a good director".
By chance, he met the famous director Yang Dechang and began to study under him.
In 92, Qu Youning's first screenplay, Street Stones, won the Best Screenplay Award.
In 97, he directed his first feature film, "Ultraman".
This also laid the foundation for his photography style. He is good at romantic love and feature films, and his pictures are very visually impactful.
The reason why Du Sheng recommended Qu Youning to direct was because he remembered that he had directed the romantic drama "Rose Romance".
In addition, Qu Youning is quite experienced in using camera scheduling to create visual effects, and his handling of close-ups of characters is also very good. He can handle both sensational and comedic elements with ease.
This fits the style of Itazura na Kiss perfectly.
Du Sheng was quite satisfied to see the other party's humble attitude. What he was looking for was a director who could cooperate with Star Media.
Qu Youning was obviously very clear about his position.
Du Sheng ended the polite conversation and asked with a smile:
"Director Qu, I heard that you are working with seven other directors to shoot "The Garden of the Dead", right?"
"Mr. Du, the play has actually been completed. Those people are doing the post-production. There is no problem on my end."
Qu Youning hurried to explain.
"The Garden of the Jedi" was mainly used for shock value, and he didn't take it seriously.
Du Sheng nodded and continued:
"Director Qu, maybe Sister Hua has already told you, but I still want to emphasize it again.
This show is very important to StarCraft, especially this time it involves cooperation with Comey Films. Do you know how to control the plot? "
Qu Youning could hear the subtext, but he still smiled:
"Mr. Du, I am very grateful that you recommended me to direct. I will definitely do my job well and go all out to make this drama a success!"
What this means is that during the directing period, he will not favor Comey Films, and will even prefer the artists from Star Media when allocating roles.
After all, he still understood the principle of repaying kindness.
Hearing this, Du Sheng showed a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly.
Next time if there is any related cooperation, Star Media will consider you first. "
After hearing this, Qu Youning smiled even brighter:
"Thank you Mr. Du for your appreciation!"
After all, this is the home turf of Comey Films, so it is better to be safe than sorry, so Qu Youning, the middleman, is indeed worth winning over.
Perhaps Qu Youning is not a genius in creation, but his directing skills are quite solid and he has won many awards.
If he performs well this time, he may be given the responsibility of directing some romantic films in the future.
Du Sheng smiled slightly:
“Then you should contact Sister Hua, and Star Media will do its best to assist you in setting up the crew.
I hope you can select all the filming locations in the script before the actual shooting."
"Mr. Du, I will do my best and travel all over Bay City to choose the most suitable filming location!"
Qu Youning promised solemnly.
.........
Neon, Honshu Island.
In a suite in a luxury hotel.
Xu Xiyuan stood by the window with a troubled look on his face, and he couldn't calm down.
During this period, in order to avoid the surging public opinion, she followed Gan Dia's advice and followed the "God of War" crew to Neon Sendai for filming.
This drama, like "It Started with a Kiss", was invested and produced by Komi Film and Television + Bada TV.
The male lead was also played by Zhou Yumin from F4, and the filming was planned to take place in Bay City, Neon, Nanyang and other areas, with a fairly large cast.
However, ever since the "beating incident" incident, her popularity and image have plummeted.
If she hadn't been so coquettish as to protect Yang Qiukui and remove the trending search from behind, not only would there be rumors galore, but even the heroine of the show might have been replaced.
Next, it depends on whether "God of War" and "Itazura na Kiss" can make up for the loss, otherwise it will probably continue to be silent.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Assistant Xiao Qi hurried in, with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness on his face.
"Sister Xiyuan, I have some bad news..."
Xu Xiyuan frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind:
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"It's...it ...
Xiao Qi lowered his head and spoke cautiously.
"what?"
Xu Xiyuan raised his head suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Who rejected it?"
"It's... it's Du Sheng from Star Media."
Xiao Qi's voice became smaller and smaller.
Hearing this name, Xu Xiyuan's face instantly turned pale.
This Wang Badan who knocked her down from the clouds and trampled her on the ground has long been blacklisted in her heart.
Now that her role has been openly rejected, it is undoubtedly a slap in her face.
"How is this going?"
The series of tedious matters had already made Xu Xiyuan unhappy, and he said with a gloomy face:
"Didn't Komi Films say that it would be left to me? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I heard that it was Du Sheng who made the final decision. Komi Films and Star Media signed a contract, so there is not much room for maneuver."
Xiao Qi answered cautiously:
"He also used the excuse that you are a tainted artist and refused to use you in any TV series or movies, and also called on the industry..."
"List me as a tainted artist? How dare he!"
Xu Xiyuan's anger rose rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Comi Films agrees to this? What on earth do they mean?"
They had been away for over a week and didn't know much about the situation in Bay City.
In addition, there were too many negative public opinions and disturbances, and she was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Xiao Qi was about to speak when the door was pushed open again.
Yang Yukui walked in.
He came with the crew, mainly to purchase the copyrights of some popular film and television dramas and take them back for broadcast.
Xu Xiyuan leaned consciously in his arms, looking pitiful.
After Yang Xuankui finished smoking his cigar, he suddenly noticed that her face looked a little ugly:
"what happened?"
"Damn it, didn't you help me get resources for a comic-adapted drama before?"
"Star Media refused to change the role, and Du Sheng even said I was a tainted artist..."
Xu Xiyuan cried and exaggerated the information he had just learned.
"Du Sheng? Is he the one behind this again?"
Yang Yukui frowned, with a flash of anger in his eyes:
"Do you really think that a tiger won't show its might? Do you think I'm a sick cat?"
In the last Coca-Cola incident, the other party sent his men back in disgrace, but it left a deep impression on him.
Even though he tried very hard to clean the floor, Xu Xiyuan is still covered in dirt.
If he hadn't been so busy recently, he would have let that bastard Du Sheng see what "being shot eight times in the back is suicide" meant!
Yang Yukui's eyes changed for a moment, and he hugged Xu Xiyuan into his arms, patted her shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, I will seek justice for you when I return.
This role belongs to you, no one can take it away from you!"
Xu Xiyuan was delighted in her heart but did not show it. She just lay in his arms with a pitiful look on her face.
As expected, this appearance aroused Yang Yunkui's alternative desire to protect her.
He picked up his daughter and walked towards the bedroom.
