The queen's mouth is open

Chapter 1178 Inside Story
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback when he heard the words, "What house and cinema?"

Director Gao didn't mention these two things in the phone call just now.

"It's the mansion we were going to use for filming. It's the one you used to take pictures a few days ago. It belongs to Mr. Meng, a commercial tycoon in Hong Kong City. However, after buying it, he still lives with his family in Hong Kong City, so here The house was left vacant. Boss Meng has a daughter who seems to be coming to the mainland next year to develop. At that time, the house will be under the management of that Ms. Meng. It happens to be used by the crew, so after inquiring about it, I asked the relationship to find it. In the end, I agreed to borrow it."

Gui Fang explained the inside story of this matter to Jiang Xiaobai, "Originally, the house was empty, and our production crew used it for a limited time, and we wouldn't damage it in any way. Even if it breaks, we can't afford compensation. It’s not a loss for them to lend us a lot of rent. They all agreed, but who knows that the man surnamed Ma has something to do with Hong Kong City. He didn’t know how he found Boss Meng. Now it is used to threaten us, saying that either we change the heroine, or let Boss Meng go back on his word and refuse to borrow the house."

Jiang Xiaobai frowned.

"The man surnamed Ma is a theater man himself, and there are quite a few of their movie theaters across the country. After threatening him, he gave a sweet date, saying that as long as the heroine is replaced by Jiang Su, then he will be able to improve the movie's screening rate and publicity." Work hard."

The more Gui Fang spoke, the more anxious he became.

"In other words, the producer didn't waver just because of increased investment?" Jiang Xiaobai understood.

"Of course, our film is not short of money, and it is only when we are filming the scenes of Qiao Qiao's family that we burn more money. Our original investment is enough. Even if they want to inject capital, it is not very attractive. , How could the producer change his mind just because of this?" Gui Fang asked.

Jiang Xiaobai felt that what he said made sense.

"A Dream Far Away" is not a big money-burning special effects blockbuster like "Battle of Daybreak". Of course, investment is needed, but the amount required is not exaggerated.

Just like "Shen Xin" is a low-budget movie, the investment in the movie itself is very small, and there are no big scenes that need to be spent. Even if a movie like this gets a big investment, it can't be spent at all.

Compared with "Shen Xin", "A Dream from afar" is relatively expensive, because one of the protagonists, Qiao Qiao, has a better family background, lives in a good house, wears branded goods, and his parents and family members are present. Some of the occasions are also upscale.

However, these costs are also considerable, and the original investment is already enough, and further investment seems to have little effect.

Originally, Qiao Qiao is the daughter of a rich family. If more money is added to it, is it possible to set her as a princess living in a palace or a castle?

This is not realistic in modern society!
Therefore, whether to invest or not is not the most important thing. The reason why the people above hesitated and finally decided to replace themselves was precisely because of the mansion that had already been booked and the intensity of the film’s future publicity.

"So..." Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized.

"Their move is really ruthless. We have discussed the house with Mr. Meng more than a month in advance. We have been arranging it for the past few days, and finally got everything done. In the end, they took the house Come and threaten... If we can't rent the house, then the time is urgent, and there is no time to find another mansion." Ghost Fang panted heavily.

They are not obliged to rent this house, but if you want to rent it, you can tell in advance. Seeing that the shooting will start soon, but you come here and don’t rent it, unless the heroine is replaced... Then what will the crew do at this time?
It is not so easy to find a satisfactory and vacant high-end luxury house temporarily, and it takes time to decorate it. It will take half a month at the earliest. This is still a smooth situation. House, that month or even longer is possible.

But the film crew is about to start up, and they can't wait for that time anymore.

The producer Hu Rui chose to compromise precisely because of these considerations, coupled with the theater's publicity and a small profit concession——

Sacrificing a Jiang Xiaobai in exchange for the normal shooting of the movie is definitely worth it from a general perspective.

Not to mention that Jiang Xiaobai has not officially joined the crew to shoot, even if he has already filmed part of it, maybe he will be replaced halfway.

"Thank you. Your information is very important to me. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I won't know there will be such inside stories." Jiang Xiaobai said gratefully to Guifang.

She thought it was just a matter of investment, but now she has a feeling of enlightenment after hearing what Gui Fang said.

And these inside stories are very important, which is related to what method Jiang Xiaobai will take to save himself.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't expect that the information would be heard from Guifang, but the director didn't mention it, and he didn't know whether Director Gao didn't know about it or didn't mention it to himself.

"This matter also came up when I was arguing with Hu Rui. He only revealed it to me when he was angry. I'm afraid Lao Gao didn't know about it." Gui Fang said with a little complacency.

He has a bad temper, but a bad temper seems to be good at certain times.

Just like Gao Shan is a more rational person, he has persuaded the producer, but the two can be considered to have a relatively friendly conversation, even if there is unpleasantness, it will not be too rigid.

But Ghost Fang is different, he doesn't care about his status when he is in the top position, he will yell at you face to face!
Producer Hu Rui originally didn't want to tell the people below the inside story, but because Gui Fang quarreled too fiercely with him, his face became red and his neck was thick, which made Hu Rui angry, so he couldn't hold back. The real inside story came out.

So now Guifang knows about this, but the director Gao Shan doesn't!

Jiang Xiaobai expressed his thanks again, Guifang said indifferently that there was no need, and said that he would continue to resist the heroine being replaced by Jiang Su, but maybe the hope was really low, so Jiang Xiaobai would also like to open some, Don't feel too bad about it.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobai was about to call Dong Ran when he heard a car ringing outside.

She looked out the window and found that it was Chen Xishan's car.

Oh, that's right, Chen Xishan said that he came to her to exchange talismans during the video teaching between the two of them last time.

"What... what happened?"

Jiang Xiaobai took the phone and went downstairs, Mingzhu and Linglong were in the living room, they probably came to entertain Chen Xishan because they heard the noise.

Chen Xishan came over with a smile on his face. He wanted to say something with a smile, but when he saw Jiang Xiaobai's face, he stopped smiling.
