Chapter 469: It would be a pity not to go into business
Is worldwide entertainment short of 5 million?
Just think about it, is it only worth 5 million?
Of course not, this is not just a matter of 5 million, but a kind of coercion.
A film crew cannot only shoot in one location. If this coercion was filled in just because 5 million could be withstood, then not only would the people in the past feel uncomfortable, the people behind them would also ask for sky-high prices.
They continued to fill in the blanks. Their film crew was not a mountain of gold and silver. If they did not fill in the blanks, they would be bullying the good and fearing the evil, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The most important thing was that they did not finish shooting the agreed time scenes due to their own reasons. They had shot more than half of the scenes. If they removed the previous ones, they would probably lose more than 5 million if they shot another scene.
Therefore, it was obvious that changing to a shopping mall would not work. The other party had also set the price very appropriately. If it was a little more, it would be too much of a bully. They would just tear off all decorum and delete the previous scenes.
The current worldwide entertainment century was not a service for Yun Xiangxiang. They could not just throw out five million just to protect Yun Xiangxiang.
Even He Wei or Yun Xiangxiang would not be able to pay out of their own pocket. Everything had a process and a follow-up.
“You want to meet up, right? Fine, I’ll go.” Yun Xiangxiang readily agreed.
The producer was a little incredulous. “Actually…. It’s not that bad. Although the Zhao family is a local snake, they cannot be unreasonable.”
“They have a point.” Yun Xiangxiang pondered and shook her head. “It’s just a meeting. I’ll tell Brother Wei Myself.”
This shopping mall was the Zhao family’s territory. Yun Xiangxiang felt that she and the Zhao family really had some bad karma.
This matter was not a breach of contract. The time they had signed previously had already been settled. They were the ones who wanted to extend the filming time.
Before the extension period, it was only a verbal agreement. They did not continue to sign the contract. Although it would not look good on the surface, it was not in the wrong.
It was like looking at the shop’s business and asking for an increase in rent.
Even if it was exposed, others could only say that the nature of the Zhao family’s businessmen was mercenary. However, they did not force the sale, nor did they break the law. It was their crew’s business.
No one would ask others to take advantage of them.
“Okay, He Wei will be in your hands,” the producer said with a smile. “The company is not afraid of trouble. As long as we are in the right, we will definitely side with you.”
Yun Xiangxiang nodded. “Don’t worry, I understand.”
She was afraid that she would hold a grudge against the company. If she were a young girl, she might have. Without a big picture perspective, it was easy for people to get into trouble. However, she was someone who had experienced so much social education.
If she were to put herself in the company’s shoes, she would understand that the company did have its own difficulties.
It was very common for artists to encounter such things. There were so many artists in a company, so it was impossible for them to be overly biased. Yun Xiangxiang thought about it, but she did not go to the company to protect her position at all costs.
She went to look for He Wei and asked who from the Zhao family wanted to see her. Initially, she thought that it was just a relative from a side family who was relying on their power. She did not expect it to be the Zhao family’s eldest young master who could walk with the wind.
That was true. If it was a side branch of the Zhao family who was acting like a tiger, He Wei could just directly look for the head of the Zhao family.
It was said that Zhao Long was not in Hubei province right now, so it was no wonder that Zhao Guiquan was so arrogant.
“The Zhao family is now in a period of trouble. Zhao Long is very troubled. I can’t contact him for this kind of matter.” He Wei’s face darkened slightly. “But you don’t need to see him. I will handle this matter properly.”
“Brother Wei, how do you plan to handle this?” Yun Xiangxiang asked.
“People only have dirty thoughts when they are too free. Just let him have no time to think too much.” Although He Wei was not a typical businessman, he never lacked commercial means.
He wanted to find resources for his artists and seize them. It was also a kind of commercial competition.
His plan was very simple. He wanted to find something for Zhao Guiquan so that he would not be in the mood to think about Yun Xiangxiang. When he was busy, this matter would have to be handed over to other people in charge. When the time came, he could easily solve it with some benefits.
Yun Xiangxiang shook her head. “Brother Wei, the Zhao family is already in a mess. There are countless people hiding in the dark, trying to fish in troubled waters. It’s best if we don’t get involved in the Zhao family’s conflict so easily. If we’re not careful, we might become someone else’s target…”
Under normal circumstances, Yun Xiangxiang thought that He Wei’s plan was very good. It was just a diversionary tactic. Once they got the right to use it and signed the contract, Zhao Guiquan wouldn’t be able to do anything even if he was done with his work.
Now was not the right time. Yun Xiangxiang told He Wei the truth about Zhao Guibi. Even Xue Yu only knew that they saved a person, but he didn’t ask who that person was. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t tell him.
He didn’t know what Song Qian did, but it wasn’t reported.
“You suspect that Zhao Guibi’s matter is a conspiracy.” He Wei didn’t think that there would be such a twist in the story.
“We can’t rule out that this matter might be the work of an enemy of the Zhao family. If that’s really the case, if we intervene in the matter of the Zhao family at this time, we will be robbed by people who are hiding in the dark.” Yun Xiangxiang thought and nodded solemnly.
Although she usually did not pay much attention to the matters of the Zhao family, Zhao Guibi was still the person she saved. Occasionally, when she was free, she could not help but wonder who had harmed her.
Thanks to the melodramatic dramas of the rich and powerful families, Yun Xiangxiang thought that the first reaction of everyone would definitely be an internal conflict within the Zhao family. The most likely culprit would be Zhao Long, Zhao Guiquan, or even Zhao Guizhang and his mother.
However, their guesses were not necessarily correct.
If He Wei was looking for someone to create trouble for Zhao Guiquan, it would definitely not be a small matter. He would have to handle it personally and would not have the time to interfere with the small matter of the shopping mall.
If there was really someone conspiring against the Zhao family, he would definitely be watching every move of the Zhao family. Once He Wei made a move, he would very likely be used by others. Thinking about how ruthless he was towards Zhao Guibi, he would probably kill Zhao Guiquan as well.
When that time came, He Wei would probably not be able to avoid a lawsuit. They would become the tools for the other party to stir up this mess.
“It’s a pity that you don’t want to go into business.” He Wei suddenly sighed.
Yun Xiangxiang recalled that she had studied at Yu Qing University. Whether it was the signing of the contract, the matter with Mo Cui, or the matter with the Zhao family now, her acumen had surpassed many people.
At such an age, she was able to see the whole leopard. Even an eighteen-year-old like him could not do it.
Yun Xiangxiang smiled modestly. “I still like acting.”
In the business world, people would scheme against each other. Yun Xiangxiang did not like to play tricks.
Although it was unavoidable to be an actor, it was not so direct and bloody.
“Do you have to meet someone?” He Wei asked again.
“It’s something that I caused myself. I can solve it myself. It’s not a big deal to meet someone.”
After all, who would not have a social interaction when they were working in society?
“I’ll go with you.” He Wei nodded.
When she chatted with Song Mian in the evening, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mention this at all, but she was more concerned about Zhao Guibi’s matter.
