Chapter 43 General 1 Army
When Qin Yue arrived at the hotel, Wang Chen was still in the hospital, negotiating with the film crew and producer with Bai Jiarun.
The producer sat on the edge of Wang Chen's hospital bed with a wooden face, while Bai Jiarun sat on the other side, smiling.After all, Wang Chen still planned to continue to hang out in the circle. Naturally, the actor couldn't do this kind of offending thing in person, so he leaned on the bed, pretending to be weak, and refused to speak easily.
In fact, it has been a week since he was injured.
A few days ago, the production team had sent people over in turn, wanting to talk to them about replacing actors.Bai Jiarun would rather things were discussed earlier, she didn't think the crew would do what Wang Chen wished and would set aside a month for him to heal his injuries before re-shooting.After all, as the second male lead, Wang Chen originally had a lot of roles, and the role was also very important.If he can't participate in the filming for a month, it will definitely seriously affect the progress of the crew.As the producer, Xinyi Entertainment will definitely not tolerate this happening.
However, Wang Chen was determined. He always said that the pain from the wound was unbearable and his body was unwell. He refused to meet the producer sent by Xinyi Entertainment. The doctor gave him a photo of the wound fixation.
Compared with some gossip entertainment accounts posting vague pictures of Wan Chen being sent to the hospital, his own pictures are naturally more impactful and convincing.With his performance in "23 Years Old and a Thousand Miles in the Clear Sky", Wan Chen's popularity has been further consolidated.When the fans heard that he was seriously injured and hospitalized on the set, they were naturally outraged and rushed to the TV series' official account to ask for an explanation.
Wang Chen's strategy of actively controlling the rhythm naturally prevented Bai Jiarun, the agent, from making concessions in his place.
Therefore, when Wang Chen finally let go and said "you can talk to the crew", Bai Jiarun showed unprecedented strength, avoiding all subsequent treatment plans, and only asked how the crew would take responsibility for Wang Chen's accidental injury this time. How will the loss be compensated.
The producer who came to negotiate was only thinking about replacing the actor, but he never expected that Wan Chen and his agent would not discuss this matter at all, they hesitated and couldn't make a promise.So the first negotiation ended in the complete failure of Xinyi Entertainment. This time, it was the second time that Xinyi Entertainment's executive producer came.
"Of course we are fully responsible for the medical expenses, including subsequent recuperation and recovery. As long as there are hospital receipts, we Xinyi Entertainment will definitely reimburse them all. You can rest assured about this... As for the compensation, we think about it. One hundred days of muscle and bone, Xiao Wan will have to rest for at least three months, and we are willing to compensate 50 for lost work. In fact, money is a trivial matter. The key is that Xiao Wan is so young and has an immeasurable future. The bone injury must be taken care of .”
Those who can enter the production department of Xinyi Entertainment must be clever people with a glib tongue and long sleeves.
The 50 lost work fee is almost as high as Wan Chen's current salary for a movie. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Xinyi Entertainment is generous.
However, giving such a generous amount of money naturally shows how despicable the purpose of Xinyi Entertainment is.
"You and we don't want to see this accident happen. Xiao Wan is so good, his appearance is even better, and he fits our role requirements very well. If it wasn't for an accident, none of us would want to replace him. His... But Sister Bai, Xiao Wan, you all know that the production cost of TV dramas is getting higher and higher now, if Xiao Wan can't appear on the screen this month, then the lease period of our entire venue will be increased, and the director's construction period will be increased. In addition, Teacher Ning Song's announcement time will increase even more, not counting these costs, and Teacher Ning Song's schedule alone is very difficult to arrange... He still has a movie to shoot later, and the contract has been signed!"
Bai Jiarun glanced at Wang Chen who was lying on the bed, but saw the big boy shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Producer, this movie was recommended to me by Mr. Feng Xun. I also made a lot of preparations. Love my character...I don't want to pass up such a precious opportunity."
He praised the crew on the bright side, and soon after, Bai Jiarun came out and sang bad faces. "Your crew management is not strict, and it's not our Wanchen's responsibility to delay things. Why should he leave the crew? It's not a trivial matter for the headlight to fall off. It's okay to hurt someone, but what if you kill someone? Such an unprofessional crew , even if all of us Wanchen are not injured, you should stop working and investigate! How can you drive the victim out instead of investigating your own faults when something goes wrong?"
Bai Jiarun has a vigorous personality, her voice is high and shrill, and she speaks very fast.A series of questioning obviously made the executive producer's thoughts stuck, and he said after a while: "Of course our crew has a lot of responsibility, and this matter has been investigated. It's the first time for the children in the lighting team to talk to the crew. When moving the headlights, they may I didn't pay attention, so I touched the valve loose, and didn't check it... It just so happened that Xiao Wan didn't go to rest and stood at the scene, so this accident..."
"We Wanchen didn't go to rest. It's because he is dedicated to his work. Is it wrong to co-author and work?"
"..." The executive producer was stunned, and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to say... We did investigate, and the negligent kid has already been fired, and the lighting team collectively wrote After all, they are the team of the photography guide, and they must be professional. This incident was purely an accident, so..."
"You don't have to always emphasize that it was an accident." The silent Wang Chen said suddenly, his voice was a little weak, but his tone was very firm, "As long as the headlights are fixed, no matter how much you move them, they won't fall off. Reasonable, unless someone deliberately loosens it. Production teacher, although I am young and have not filmed a few movies, I still know this bit of common sense."
His eyes were like a torch, and he aimed at the executive producer without flinching.
It's just that the executive producer didn't get into today's position easily after all, there was only a momentary flicker in his eyes, and he quickly covered it up with a smile, "Xiao Wan, you are usually a good person, and you don't have much airs. The staff of the company are all praising you and looking up to you. How could anyone intentionally harm you? Don’t think too much about it! It is indeed our Xinyi’s lack of management that caused you to be hurt so badly. If there is anything wrong with you, just complain about us. To be honest, I also feel sorry for our crew, so I will ask the company for more compensation for you later..."
The meaning of his words is obvious, it is nothing more than to push the crime to Wang Chen again.If this was not an accident, it would mean that Wang Chen himself was not good enough in private, and he was retaliated against when he offended his colleagues.The so-called slap can't make a sound, if there is grievance, there must be love and hatred.
But the producer didn't realize that it was his words that further confirmed Wang Chen's previous inference with Bai Jiarun.When the light falls, there is definitely a "grievance" to be resolved.
Even a new member of the lighting team would not make such a serious mistake.The so-called expelled person, if he didn't keep his mouth shut on purpose, was Li Daitao stiff.And the person who left is the key role in finding out more evidence.
Therefore, Wang Chen and Bai Jiarun exchanged glances, and then said: "That 50, just 50."
The executive producer raised his head, and as soon as he showed a little bit of joy, Bai Jiarun took up Wang Chen's words: "Since Xiaochen is satisfied with the money matter, I have nothing to say. Our account crew also has money. Just call at any time. For accidents, we can no longer pursue them."
The executive producer suddenly felt something was wrong.But before he could fully realize it, Bai Jiarun immediately said again: "It's just that we and Wan Chen will never agree to quit the film crew. I suggest you go back and talk to the leader, and readjust the notice as soon as possible. After all, our Wanchen is a child with a lot of backbone, and we promise you to rest for only one month, and we will never delay the follow-up progress. When the new announcement comes out, you are welcome to contact me at any time."
"Wait..." The executive producer was dumbfounded. The 50 yuan in compensation was to invite Wan Chen to leave the group. Why did he still want to collect money when he refused to leave the group?
Both Bai Jiarun and Wang Chen looked at him confidently, as if they didn't think there was any problem.
The executive producer murmured: "This money..."
"This money is for my compensation for my injury, isn't it?" Wang Chen blinked at the other party innocently, "As you said just now, the crew will reimburse the injured medical expenses. Compensate me for 50 yuan, because this is the responsibility of the "accident" that the entire crew has to bear. Is there something wrong with my understanding? Or... Do you think the crew should not be responsible for this accident, but someone deliberately did it, and it should be done by this Someone to bear it?"
"..."
The executive producer immediately understood what Wang Chen meant.
Given the money to Wang Chen, it is impossible to buy out his three-month work, and ask him to leave the film crew voluntarily.The only thing that can be done is to make him shut up about the "accident" and stop sending any more news to the outside world, so as not to deteriorate the image of the crew and cause problems with subsequent publicity and release.
Compared to the mainstay of this show, the male lead Ning Song, Wan Chen's fans are really nothing more than a drop in the bucket.However, when the crew made mistakes and caused serious injuries to actors, whenever it happened to some well-known actors, there would be countless passers-by to help speak up and uphold justice.If a person is not handled properly and is brought to court by the actor, then the problems behind will be even more endless.
Even though Xinyi Entertainment has been the leader in the TV drama circle with its outstanding idol drama productions over the years.But its rise is naturally accompanied by countless grievances and enemies. If it is revealed that Xinyi Entertainment has any suspicion of "maliciously" harming actors in the group who are not from its own company, it will undoubtedly be a huge disturbance.
In other words, even if Wang Chen opened his mouth this time, Xinyi Entertainment had no choice but to feed this piece of fat into the lion's mouth himself.
Realizing all this, the young executive producer's face darkened further.He was defeated by the opponent, and he took another army.
Fortunately, Wang Chen is not a character who is eager for quick success, he knows how to accept it when he sees it, so he said a few words in a gentle tone, allowing the executive producer to go back, and then discuss countermeasures with his own leaders.After all, he had to continue his recuperation in the hospital no matter what, and the crew was the one who couldn't afford to waste time.
The producer of Xinyi left with a sullen face, but Wang Chen was in a good mood. He immediately asked Bai Jiarun to call his assistant, saying that he wanted to have corn rib soup for dinner.
Bai Jiarun had already answered Qin Yuelai's inquiry call in the morning. In order to deal with the people from Xinyi Entertainment, she didn't have time to find out why Wang Chen was uncharacteristically and not allowed herself to reveal the injury to President Qin.At this moment, both of them were idle, and Bai Jiarun finally asked sideways: "Xiaochen, why don't you use your mobile phone very much recently? Have you not contacted Mr. Qin?"
Wang Chen's good mood almost fell half when he heard the name. The corners of his mouth were still raised, but the smile in his eyes faded.He sat up and took out the mobile phone that had been thrown in the drawer. It was rare that there were two missed calls from Qin Yue on it.
He laughed at himself.
At least Qin Yue took the initiative to think of him.I don't know if Qin Yue, a busy person, will notice that his injury has made such a big commotion on the Internet.But even if he noticed that the injury on "Wan Chen" was not the real "Wang Chen", would Qin Yue mind?
"Why should I contact him, saying that I am paralyzed from the fall?" Wang Chen's fingers repeatedly rubbed the string of phone numbers on the screen, wondering if he should dial it back.
As far as Qin Yue is concerned, is he a lover who is really accepted, or is he a potion of medicine that is occasionally used to comfort "Wang Chen may still be alive" when he is empty and hurt?
But how could Wang Chen tell Bai Jiarun about such emotions?
After a long while, under the confused and worried eyes of the agent, Wang Chen squeezed out a smirk, pretending to be hearty and said: "I am so young, wouldn't it be a big loss to be tied to Mr. Qin alone? I was thinking about finding Other benefactors!"
At this second, the door of the ward, which was not closed tightly, was suddenly pushed open.
Zhuhai in August is obviously not cold yet, but at this moment, Wang Chen felt a burst of coldness breaking into the room.
He turned his head.
But Qin Yue stood at the door with a changed expression.
