Although he didnât want to get involved in this matter, the director did have a bit of a relationship with his family, so he pursed his lips and spoke up for him. âShengxiao, as far as I know, Stephenâs new film is invested in by HuanYu. In addition to HuanYuâs young master Shi Mufeng privately investing about two billion, the Rong Family also invested one billion. As a director, although he has the right to choose the actors, he doesnât have much say in terms of investment. Rong Weiwei was a person inserted by the investors, and if you suddenly ask for a replacement, even if he wants to change, he doesnât have the ability toâ¦â
Although he doesnât mix in the entertainment industry and his family isnât involved in that area either, he somewhat knows how things operate within it.
It seems like the director has a lot of power.
But within a film crew, itâs the investors who really hold the greatest power.
The director might replace minor actors, but a leading actress like Rong Weiwei, who brings in three hundred million in funding and has the backing of HuanYu, is probably irreplaceable!
âKT Entertainment hasnât invested in any films recently, so why have you suddenly thought about replacing the leading actress in a film invested by HuanYu?â Fu Yi still didnât understand why.
What could be the reason?
Shengxiao, with a brooding and decisively chilling expression, didnât answer his question, but said outright, âTell him that KT Entertainment can invest in his film. Whatever conditions HuanYu has given him, KT Entertainment can match them exactly. There is just one requirement: change the leading actress!â
Fu Yi,
How exactly did that Rong Weiwei offend him?
âEven if you say that, the filmâs financing is already in place, and the casting is complete. Even Rong Weiwei has signed the contract, and theyâre only waiting to begin shooting⦠Even if KT Entertainment offers the same conditions, for the sake of the film, Stephen might not be willing to wait for a new actress.â
Finding a suitable replacement isnât easy, as the schedules of even marginally significant actresses are already full. If they have to wait, it might be another six months.
Stephen, as an internationally renowned director, still has his own pride and stick-to-itiveness in his bones.
This kind of talk seemed to be Fu Yi speaking on behalf of the director; in ordinary circumstances, Shengxiao might have given him some face and dropped the matter. But this time it was different, âThen donât make the film.â
What do you mean?â
âIâm giving him two choices: first, change the person! Second, Iâll block the film! You relay the message to him, let him decide for himself.â
First, change the person.
Second, Iâll block the film!
Fu Yi was stunned and his brows were knit tightly together, âYouâve never suppressed any director before, and itâs unlikely that Stephen has offended you. Why are you being so extreme?â
He knew that when this man said he would block a film, it didnât matter if Stephen was a top international director.
Once this man took action, that film wouldnât see the light of the day!
Whatâs the point of a film that audiences canât even watch?
To spend a billion to produce it just for oneâs own enjoyment at home?
Had it been someone else asking, Li Shengxiao might not have bothered to explain, but since it was Fu Yi, he gave him a bit of face. âBecause they touched someone they shouldnât have!â
âThey? Which âtheyâ? That Rong, Rong Weiwei?â There was only one âsheâ, where did âtheyâ come from?
âYou just need to deliver the message!â Li Shengxiao never liked explaining his actions to anyone, making an exception to give even a vague explanation to Fu Yi was already quite remarkable.
