#1083 - Chapter 1083 Director Zhang collapses! Sky-high liquidated damages? I pay, you go bankrupt!
The film crew was on location.
Director Zhang's face was so dark, it looked like it was about to drip water.
Following the direction of the camera, the female lead, who was filming a scene, was muttering her lines.
Shockingly!
Her lines were…
"123…321…1234567…"
What terrible luck!
As China's top director, he never worried about not getting movies, and he always picked his scripts. He had strict requirements in all aspects, such as…not accepting people forced upon him by investors.
Of course, it was impossible to be absolute in this industry.
If it was just a small role, he could barely accept it, but…
This time, he was tricked. The film's investor was the only one, and they had tampered with the contract, directly inserting the female lead!
Restricted by the contract, he couldn't refuse.
And this female lead…
Didn't memorize her lines!
All her dialogue was just numbers.
In fact, there were many people like this in the entertainment industry, including some movie emperors, who also didn't memorize lines and just said numbers.
But…
At least those people were good at acting, right, apart from the lines?
This female lead was different.
She had no acting skills whatsoever!
Director Zhang didn't dare to imagine what he would be scolded like after the movie was released, and his reputation would be seriously damaged.
No way!
Restricted by the contract, he couldn't get away, so he could only try his best to guide her and make the female lead perform better—at least, get less scolding after the release.
He was just about to talk to the female lead when a bespectacled man walked over quickly: "Miss Xu, President Zhao wants you to come over."
"Okay," the female lead said with a smile.
"Wait…"
Director Zhang was anxious: "Miss Xu, we've only been filming for a little over an hour…"
The huge crew had to set the scene and do makeup.
There were actors.
There were staff.
You're leaving after only filming for a little over an hour? Leaving everyone else here?
What a joke!
"Director Zhang, isn't this drama invested by President Zhao? Isn't it most important for President Zhao to ask me to discuss work?" Miss Xu retorted.
"…"
Director Zhang had ten thousand alpacas stampeding in his heart.
Discuss work?
The RV is not far away. You're going to play poker, and you still have the nerve to say discuss work?!
The key!
She needs time to serve her master, and after serving her master, she needs to cuddle, and then her makeup will definitely be ruined, and she needs to reapply it… After a few hours, what are we even filming today?
Director Zhang was really about to collapse. This time, he was tricked into signing the contract, and he felt like he had fallen into a pit, and a huge one!
"Director Zhang, don't bother filming this crappy movie," a voice suddenly came.
Shockingly!
Chen Hao, wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, walked over.
Director Zhang was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
It's…
Chairman Chen?!
He was used to disguising himself, and people who weren't familiar with him couldn't recognize him, after all, people on TV are a bit different from reality.
But Director Zhang had seen Chairman Chen many times in reality.
Even though so many years had passed, and he was approaching middle age, he still looked as young as before.
This is thanks to technology.
Even before reaching level 1 civilization, the length of life can be extended, let alone today?
"Who are you?!"
Miss Xu was furious: "Do you know who invested in this movie?!"
You say don't film, then don't film?
Don't abide by the contract?
Then pay a huge amount of liquidated damages!
"Director Zhang, I have a project here that needs your help," Chen Hao ignored the actress.
"No problem!"
Director Zhang was extremely excited.
First, he was excited that the movies Chairman Chen made were definitely top-notch productions, and the scripts were definitely first-class.
The key!
Chairman Chen wants to make a movie, he will definitely find actors from Han Tang Media, and Han Tang Media has always been rigorous, and the actors' quality is definitely no problem.
Secondly…
Restricted by the contract, he didn't dare to breach the contract, the liquidated damages were really too high.
But if Chairman Chen takes action, everything is no problem!
Who dares to use the contract to blackmail Chairman Chen?
Are they tired of living?
"Is now okay?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"No problem, anytime!" Director Zhang nodded repeatedly.
He was finally able to escape the sea of suffering!
"You…"
Seeing that Director Zhang was really about to leave, the female lead immediately became anxious and ran towards the RV: "Master…no! President Zhao! Director Zhang is not filming anymore…"
The RV door opened.
A short, fat man got out of the car immediately.
As soon as he got out, he shouted with an unfriendly expression: "Not filming anymore? Then follow the contract and pay the liquidated damages!"
Director Zhang wasn't intimidated at all and was about to retort immediately.
"How much is the liquidated damage?" Chen Hao asked.
Huh?!
Director Zhang was a little dumbfounded.
Chairman Chen really intends to pay the liquidated damages?
"Fifty…fifty million," Director Zhang mumbled.
"Fifty million, transfer it to his account," Chen Hao instructed.
The AI system immediately activated facial recognition through the sunglasses, and the other party's identity information was displayed, along with the bank account.
Transfer the money immediately!
"Are you here to be funny?!"
President Zhao was laughed at by Chen Hao, pointing at Chen Hao and yelling: "Do you know me? Do you know my bank account? Transfer it to my account… Are you kidding me!"
To pay the liquidated damages, don't you first need to know the other party's account?
Opening your mouth and saying transfer it to the account, isn't this obviously showing off and deceiving people?
But…
As soon as President Zhao finished speaking.
The phone suddenly made a noise, and he subconsciously opened it to take a look.
Shockingly!
It was a text message from the bank—50 million had been received!
"It's only right and proper to pay for breach of contract," Chen Hao smiled at Director Zhang, then turned to look at President Zhao and directly stated the other party's information: "Zhao Delong, Chairman of Hengda Real Estate Group… You owe the bank a lot, right? Okay, you can go bankrupt."
Longyin Real Estate only bought the main urban area of Shanghai.
How many provinces and cities are there in China?
And how many real estate companies are there?
Hengda.
It's just one of them!
Real estate companies have a common point—they have a lot of loans.
With a good relationship with the bank and stable operations, President Zhao lives a glamorous and comfortable life.
But once the bank withdraws the loan…
It's a dead end!
"You…"
President Zhao was about to scold him when his face suddenly changed: "You are…"
He vaguely felt that the other party looked familiar.
"Director Zhang, let's go," Chen Hao ignored him and looked at the other staff: "Everyone, go back and rest first, we'll be busy later."
"President Zhao!" Seeing that Director Zhang was really leaving, Miss Xu turned pale: "What to do? My movie…"
President Zhao was about to chase Chen Hao when his phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Zhao Delong?"
The other party's tone was very cold, rejecting people from a thousand miles away.
"Who are you?"
President Zhao realized something was wrong.
"This is the head office of China Bank. Please repay the 98 billion loan you owe to our bank within three days, otherwise we will file a lawsuit!"
"Wait a minute, I'm with the Shanghai branch…"
"This is the head office. Does Mr. Zhao have any questions?"
"…"
Zhao Delong's lips trembled.
He has a close relationship with the president of the Shanghai branch.
But…
What's the use!
He had already guessed the identity of the young man who paid him the liquidated damages.
Not to mention the president of the Shanghai branch, even if he and the president of the head office were brothers, the result would not be any different.
If the result is different…
The president of the head office can be replaced!
As soon as the phone was hung up, another call came in: "Mr. Zhao Delong? This is the head office of Construction Bank. Please repay the 63.5 billion loan you owe to our bank within three days, otherwise we will file a lawsuit."
"This is ICBC…"
One call after another came in.
"President Zhao, my movie…" Miss Xu was still urging.
