Chapter 4414: Internet Ban
Yan Ci's words were so powerful that everyone in the entire crew heard them.
If the filming had just started, this would be understandable, but now, one-third of the filming has been completed. If Li Li is kicked out now, new actors will have to be found for reshoots, which will also cost a lot of manpower and material resources. It takes a lot of courage to make such a decision.
Li Li stood there, a little bit surprised that she would say such words.
But soon, her expression returned to normal, and there was even a hint of joy.
"If you don't want to shoot, then don't think I'll care about your show."
Having said that, Li Li turned and left to find her agent.
"Sister Liu, let's go. We can't continue filming. I can't stay in this crew for even a minute."
After Li Li left, the filming of the crew came to a standstill. They needed to re-examine the script and shoot other people's scenes.
"Director Zhang, let's find new actors." Yan Ci said.
"Well, I have a few more suitable ones here. I'll talk to them and I should be able to find one soon."
There is never a shortage of female celebrities in the entertainment industry, and it is easy to find them as long as you spend some time.
"Damn it, this is the first time I've seen such a person. Such people should be banned from the entertainment industry." The director cursed.
“Actually, I noticed something was wrong half a month ago. I was always losing my temper on the set, but I didn’t expect it to be so excessive this time. It’s simply unreasonable.” The assistant director also cursed.
"Actually, I think I know what's going on..." the prop master whispered.
Everyone's eyes turned to the prop master.
"She secretly accepted a film directed by Zhang Mou, and the schedule conflicts with our film. She may not want to film our film anymore."
After listening to the prop master's words, everyone finally understood what was going on.
They have all seen actors who act like big shots, but at least when they do so, there is some reason, and their fame and strength are far above Li Li. She just has some traffic, but she is so unreasonable. If there is no special reason, there must be something wrong.
"These people really don't have any sense of contract at all!"
Yan Ciqi's chest was heaving and he didn't know what to say.
"You are right. These people's brains are really not very useful."
After hearing Lin Yi's speech, everyone noticed the man who came with Yan Ci.
"The entertainment industry is like this. Traffic is king, which leads to all kinds of people."
"The director Zhang Mou you are talking about is the director of the Olympics, right?"
"It's him. I heard he's preparing for a costume movie. He should be joining the crew soon."
"I know this person." Lin Yi said:
"Do you know who is the investor of this play?"
Although the director is the most powerful person in a film crew, it is the investors who can truly decide life and death.
Who the director chooses and what actors to use is basically a matter of a word from the investor.
"The main ones are Dongxin Media, Yunmao Pictures, Honglan Media, and there are more than a dozen small companies left."
"Okay, you guys continue filming, I'll take care of this aspect. If you don't have enough money, just tell me and I'll invest some money for you."
"Ah."
Yan Ci continued to arrange the filming, while Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a message to the four-person group.
……
On the other side, Li Li also packed up her things and left with her agent.
"Finally we can go. Drive quickly so as not to delay Director Zhang's performance."
"Actually, what you did today was a bit too much. You should use a gentler approach," said the agent.
"Director Zhang's scene is urgent. If I continue to use a gentle approach, I may not be able to leave today." Li Li said:
"And there's nothing to regret. Their drama itself doesn't have much highlights. After filming, we don't know if it will be a hit. We can't lose the big picture. Director Zhang's drama cannot be missed."
"That's true. After we finish filming Director Zhang's movie, I'll buy you some hot searches. Maybe you can become a first-tier star."
"That's exactly what I think, so it doesn't matter whether this drama is filmed or not."
As she spoke, Li Li was still putting on makeup in front of the mirror, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Ring ring ring——
At this time, the agent's cell phone rang.
Seeing who was calling, the agent's expression turned serious.
"Director Zhang's assistant called me."
After saying this, the agent picked up the phone and turned on the speaker.
"Brother Wang, we'll be there soon. It will only take half an hour at most. We're on the way."
"You don't have to come over. We've already found new actors."
"What did you say? Isn't it decided that Li Li will play the leading female role in this play?"
"There's something wrong with her. The investor called and specifically said she can't act anymore. Let her fend for herself. The investors in the circle want to ban her. She should find another way to make a living in the future."
After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving the agent and Li Li a chance to speak again.
The two men were stunned in the car. The driver also realized that something was wrong and stopped the car.
"How could this happen? Why would I be banned for no reason?" Li Li said in panic.
Both of them knew the value of that sentence.
The investor's request to replace someone is of great significance. If I were to be jointly banned by the capital circle, I would really have no chance at all in this industry in the future.
"Could it be Yan Ci who did it? She has very strong connections in the circle." said the agent.
"It's impossible. No matter how strong her connections are, she can't reach the capital circle, let alone get those capitals to jointly ban me."
Li Li was extremely nervous and took out a cigarette and lit it.
"This is most likely an accident. I'm going to find Director Zhang and ask him about this matter."
Ring ring ring——
At this time, the agent's phone rang again.
"It's Director Liu from 'Running Man'."
Li Li looked at her phone like a frightened bird, "Hurry up and answer it, let's see what's going on."
The agent picked up the phone and said, "Director Liu."
"Let me tell you, we are going to change the cast for this variety show. You don't have to come tomorrow."
Hearing this, the two were stunned again. They didn't expect that even the variety show would have to be replaced.
"Director Liu, please don't hang up yet. I want to ask you, why do you want to replace us?"
"I don't know either. Maybe you offended someone. Anyway, we don't need Li Li anymore."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Shortly after that, the agent received more than a dozen calls from other variety shows, interviews, and endorsements. They were all about terminating the contract or replacing the person, and all of them were cut at the speed of light, without even room for negotiation!
Li Li was completely dumbfounded. To her, this was unacceptable.
"Hurry back to find Ms. Yan. I want to explain to her!"
