This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 401: Ruthless, Kick People

Fan Shi was the substitute for "Yuan Hua". In the first audition, he and Zhang Xingye advanced at the same time, but in the selection stage, he unfortunately lost.

That audition was a huge blow to him, and he once thought he had missed such a good opportunity!

But what he didn't expect was that just a few days before "Charlotte's Troubles" was about to be released, Zhang Xingye's house collapsed! He received a call from the director, and in view of the current situation, the director decided to consider letting him play "Yuan Hua".

So, he finally got into the crew as he had dreamed of and met Cheng Cheng.

-

"Crack!"

After finishing a scene, Fan Shi went to the sidelines to drink water to calm his nervous and excited emotions.

Qin Bo, who played Charlotte, came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"You did a great job."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes, gently shook out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and sighed to himself:

"If it weren't for the Hoshino incident, the movie would have been released by now. Maybe the audience would be discussing us now, and I would have become famous. What a pity for Cheng's movie~"

He puffed out smoke, shook his head, and said:

"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. Good things take time."

Fan Shi turned his head, looked at him, and asked:

"Brother Bo, why does it seem like everyone is being unfriendly to me?"

".", Qin Bo's expression froze for a moment, and his hand stopped smoking.

Then, his movements returned to normal, with a wry smile on his face, and he said:
"Xiao Shi, you don't know that it took almost four months for our crew to be formed and finished. We studied together in the first month, lived together and ate together, and filmed in the last three months. We went to many locations and grew up together, and experienced a lot. Although Xingye did something wrong and almost ruined our film, we all blamed him, but we also really treated him as a friend. Everyone has complicated feelings towards him."

Fan Shi asked: "So everyone doesn't want me to replace him and play Yuan Hua?"

Qin Bodao:
"Some people do think so, but that doesn't represent me. Ensuring the smooth release of the movie is my top priority. I know some people want Shinhwa to suppress the matter and save Hoshino. But Director Cheng Cheng is cruel. Do you know the movie Director Cheng made last year? The one called "The Professional"? "

Fan Shi nodded and said:

"know."

Qin Bo continued:
"Miao Ling, the leading actress in "The Killer Is Not Calm", failed in "The Chinese" directed by Lu Zhuofeng, and Director Cheng never said a word for her. Ma Xi, the leading actor, couldn't get a good script after "The Killer", and Mythology didn't intervene either."

Fan Shi couldn't help but defend Cheng Cheng:
"Director Cheng is right to do this. Shinhwa is not our babysitter. If we can't develop our films with Director Cheng, we can only blame ourselves."

Qin Bodao;
"Of course I know, so I think Director Cheng's approach is right. As long as Xingye is still in this movie, "Charlotte's Troubles" will be affected no matter what. I support Director Cheng's decision. Of course, saying support is actually funny. This is Director Cheng's own decision, and it is not our turn to comment. Those people are actually the same. They don't want you to replace Xingye to play Yuan Hua, but what's the use? It's useless! They don't dare to have opinions about Director Cheng, so they can only have emotions towards you."

After finishing a cigarette, Qin Bo patted Fan Shi on the shoulder:

"Don't worry about what those people think. To be honest, your performance as Yuan Hua is really good."

Fan Shi: "Brother Bo——"

Just as Fan Shi was about to say something, Cheng Cheng's voice suddenly rang out:

"Fan Shi, come here for a moment."

"Director Cheng, I'm here!!"

Fan Shi stood up quickly and almost trotted to Cheng Cheng's side, his hands unconsciously hanging at his sides, looking a little nervous:

"Director Cheng, you're looking for me?"

Cheng Cheng pointed at the monitor and said:

"In this scene, he has to have the demeanor of a student. He is not a completely unpleasant villain."

Fan Shi listened to Cheng Cheng's explanation of the play very seriously and nodded frequently.

In this way, under Cheng Cheng's coordination, the reshoot progressed exceptionally smoothly and completion was just around the corner.

Fan Shi cherished this opportunity very much. He basically only slept for a few hours a day and spent the rest of his time thinking about the script and the characters. He cut off all social activities.

On this day, the makeup artist was doing his makeup when suddenly there was a noise.

"Hoshino is back!"

"What? Why did he come back?"

"What can he do? He must be reluctant to give up this opportunity and is looking for Director Cheng. Moreover, he not only came by himself, but also brought his agent."

The news spread quickly on the set like a thunderclap.

Fan Shi's heart immediately skipped a beat.

He really couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhang Xingye really asked for the role of Yuan Hua back?
In the past few days, he has regarded the role of Yuan Hua as his own, and he is already looking forward to the audience's reaction after the movie is released.

Without waiting for the makeup to be completed, Fan Shi hurriedly walked out of the dressing room, and then saw Zhang Xingye kneeling on the ground in the center of the set, crying, and a middle-aged man nodding and bowing to Cheng Cheng.

Zhang Xingye begged with tears in his eyes:

"Director Cheng, I beg you, please give me another chance. I swear, I will never let you down this time..."

Next to him, his agent also said:

"Director Cheng, Xingye is still young and has not considered many things carefully. You are broad-minded, so please forgive him this time. He is young and frivolous and does not know much. We cannot deny his future completely because of this mistake. Don't worry, we have tried our best to deal with public opinion. The Internet has no memory, and people's attention will soon be diverted. It will not affect the release of the movie. Director Cheng, please give him another chance because Xingye has such a good attitude in admitting his mistakes~"

Cheng Cheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

Then, he looked around and saw that all the actors on the set were present, so he asked:
"What do you think? Should I give him a chance?"

The actors looked at each other, not daring to give any opinions easily.

Zhang Xingye knelt on the ground and looked anxiously at people who were familiar with him.

"become--"

At this time, Xiong Rui, who played "Dashachun", took a step forward, as if he wanted to say something. However, before he could say anything, he was pulled back by Qin Bo, who shook his head at him.

Cheng Cheng noticed this, turned his gaze to Xiong Rui, and asked, "Oh? Do you have any good ideas?"

Qin Bo tugged at Xiong Rui's sleeve, telling him not to talk too much.

Xiong Rui shook his head and swallowed the words in his mouth:

"Director Cheng, I...I didn't."

"Oh~", Cheng Cheng let him go and looked at others, "Where are the others? Is there anyone who supports him to come back?"

Everyone was silent and didn't say a word.

Zhang Xingye was a little anxious, and his agent winked at him, telling him not to just kneel there.

Cheng Cheng said: "No one supports it? Or are you afraid to speak out? How about this, raise your hands if you support him coming back."

At this time, three people raised their arms hesitantly, one from the actor who played "Teacher Wang", one from the actor who played "Meng Te", and one from the actor who played "Qiu Ya". The actors who played "Ma Dongmei", "Charlotte", and "Zhang Yang" did not move.

"Dashachun" originally wanted to raise his hand, but was forced down by Qin Bo, whose eyes were full of warnings.

Zhang Xingye's eyes lit up with joy, there were still people supporting him.

Cheng Cheng looked at Fan Shi: "Fan Shi, do you want him to come back and play Yuan Hua again?"

Fan Shi clenched his fists and looked at Cheng Cheng firmly:

"Director Cheng, I don't want to."

Cheng Cheng: “Why?”

Fan Shi: "Because this role belongs to me! It was Zhang Xingye who lost the role. He is no longer worthy of this role! He caused trouble for everyone, causing the film to be delayed, causing everyone to reshoot, and causing Director Cheng to take over personally. All of this could have been avoided. And I think my acting is no worse than Zhang Xingye's. I deserve this role more than him!"

Fan Shi must now take a clear stand and fight for his own interests, because if he doesn't fight for himself, no one will fight for him.

He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

This opportunity may only come once in a lifetime.

Zhang Xingye listened to Fan Shi's words, his heart was filled with anger, he couldn't help but refute:
"You said your acting is no worse than mine. What makes you say that? I was the one who got the choice and you didn't! I also participated in a month of in-group training. You have the guts to compete with me on the spot!"

Fan Shi responded coldly: "I won't compete with you. You have already lost this opportunity yourself."

Zhang Xingye's agent said to Cheng Cheng:

"Director Cheng, we can make up for all the losses that Xingye has caused to Shinhwa. You name the amount, and we will do our best to meet it. Besides, I am also thinking about you. Reshooting costs money and wastes time. Since Xingye has already finished shooting, why bother to reshoot again?"

His tone was full of pleading.

He really hoped that Cheng Cheng could change his mind, otherwise Zhang Xingye, this money-loser, would be completely wasted. If Cheng Cheng changed his mind and Zhang Xingye reappeared in the movie, then with Cheng Cheng's endorsement, he might be able to make back the money he lost to Cheng Cheng.

But Cheng Cheng seemed to be oblivious to his words and asked:

"Only three people raised their hands? Are there still people who support Zhang Xingye?"

After waiting for three seconds, seeing that Zhen didn't raise his hand again, Cheng Cheng said to Xiao Si:
"Take note of the three of them, kick them out of the movie together, and select actors from the original audition list to fill the vacancies."

Xiao Si nodded and said, "Okay Director Cheng."

The actors who played "Teacher Wang", "Meng Te" and "Qiu Ya" were stunned as if they had lost their parents. They stood there in a daze, unable to believe it.

Zhang Xingye and his agent were also dumbfounded. How, how could this happen?
How could Cheng Cheng be so cruel?
Is he crazy?
There was less than a month left before the movie was released, and three people had been replaced in the blink of an eye. Did Cheng Cheng not care about his movie at all? And what had they done wrong? They were kicked out just because they supported him. Was it that serious? Was what he did so wrong?

Cheng Cheng turned around and said, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today. My original intention for the plan of producing a movie or TV series every year was—"

Xiao Si whispered to Cheng Cheng that he had turned in the wrong direction. There was no one in the direction he was facing, only a wall.

"Oh."

Cheng Cheng changed direction again, and this time it was the right direction.

He continued: "I want to give a chance to those who have no opportunities, no background, no professional knowledge, who are unwilling to go along with the crowd, unwilling to curry favor with the powerful, and unwilling to curry favor with others, so that more ordinary people can enter the entertainment industry.

This is my goal, to break the monopoly of capital and change the atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

Some people say that this is the annual college entrance examination for the entertainment industry. I agree and disagree. What I agree with is that it is as fair as possible within the rules, but what I disagree with is that every year, a movie or TV series is not required to have the best appearance or the best acting skills, but the one that best suits the role, so the best appearance and the best acting skills may not necessarily be selected.

But I didn’t expect that some people have been infected with the disease of the entertainment industry before they even entered it, and some people, knowing that the other party has done something wrong, still stand up to support him. Is this putting aside morality and world outlook, values ​​and values?

Is my plan to allow such people to enter the entertainment industry?
Xiao Si, do you think this is right? "

Xiao Si reminded Cheng Cheng again that he had turned in the wrong direction, and this time Cheng Cheng was facing a tree.

Cheng Cheng turned to him: "Xiao Si, is this right?"

Xiao Si shook his head and said;
"Director Cheng, this is of course wrong. We want to change the entertainment industry and give it a new look. However, there are also people who are on a different path from us. Although they are also ordinary people and do not have privileges, they do not hate privileges, but they hate that they do not have privileges. So when they have the opportunity to become famous, they will not be our friends, but our enemies. This is inevitable."

Cheng Cheng: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Xiao Si smiled and said, "Let them go."

Cheng Cheng waved his hand: "Then let them go."

Xiao Si immediately walked up to Zhang Xingye and said:

"Go away. You heard it too. You have failed Director Cheng and yourself. Go away and don't show up here again."

If Zhang Xing's ambition is dead, his agent still wants to fight for him. Xiao Si said:
"You have to know that before the movie was released, Zhang Xingye had such a huge negative public opinion. We have the right to hold him accountable, and as his agency, you are also obliged to compensate us. It's just that Director Cheng is kind-hearted and doesn't want to force him to death, so if you don't want to receive a court summons, just take him away."

In the end, Zhang Xingye’s agent took Zhang Xingye away sadly.

The actors who played "Teacher Wang", "Meng Te" and "Qiu Ya" also cried and knelt on the ground begging for Cheng Cheng's forgiveness.

Xiao Si was disdainful and pointed at the grass one by one:
"Teacher Wang, Mengte, Qiuya, you are really something. You have a good relationship with 'Yuan Hua' in the movie, and you also plead for him outside the movie. Qiuya, forget it, you have more roles, but Teacher Wang, Mengte, you are here to calculate your own business? The roles in the movie are only seven or eight minutes, and they said they would replace you, and you even supported it. Do you two deserve it? Damn, you haven't even entered the entertainment industry, but you have learned to huddle together for warmth! Get out of here! But it's also good, fortunately I have discovered your true nature now, otherwise when you enter the entertainment industry, I don't know how to bring disaster to this industry!"

After forcibly driving away "Teacher Wang", "Meng Te" and "Qiu Ya", the set finally became quiet.

Cheng Cheng looked at Fan Shi:

"You haven't finished your makeup yet?"

Fan Shi shook his head: "Not yet, Director Cheng."

Cheng Cheng: "Hurry up and finish the painting. We'll start the machine later."

The heavy stone in Fan Shi's heart fell to the ground. He bowed deeply to Cheng Cheng, his eyes reddened, and said:

"Thank you Director Cheng! I will definitely remember what Director Cheng said today!"

After saying that, he turned around and went to the dressing room to put on makeup.

Xiao Si also re-contacted the people who had been auditioned at the beginning to replace "Teacher Wang", "Meng Te" and "Qiu Ya". I guess there were three more overjoyed voices on the other end of the phone.

In a corner of the set.

Xiong Rui, the actor who played "Dashachun", quickly said to Qin Bo:
"Thank you, Brother Bo. If it weren't for you, I would have been kicked out now."

He is still a little nervous now. If it weren't for Qin Bo, his fate would be the same as that of "Teacher Wang", "Meng Te" and "Qiu Ya".

"But," Xiong Rui said, "Brother Bo, how did you know Director Cheng would do this?"

Qin Bo said meaningfully:
"I didn't know Director Cheng would do this, but I know he is a ruthless person. He asked who supports Xingye, which was actually a trap. Whoever supports him will be unlucky. And..."

Xiong Rui: “And what?”

Qin Bo: "I think Xiao Fan is indeed a better person than Xingye, and from the perspective of interests, we should not support Xingye. Xingye's return will inevitably have a negative impact on the film, but if Xiao Fan joins, we can wash away the negative public opinion, set an example for domestic entertainment, find a new marketing point, and netizens will support us, which is good for everyone. Therefore, those who support Xingye can only be said to be stupid and bad. They don't understand Director Cheng, and they don't understand how to do things that are beneficial to themselves."

Xiong Rui scratched his head and said with a silly smile:

"Brother Bo, you know a lot. I will follow you from now on."

At this time, actors were whispering everywhere on the set.

What happened just now still makes them feel scared, especially those who secretly support Zhang Xingye. They are almost walking on the edge of a cliff and were almost tricked by Cheng Cheng.

However, at this moment, everyone looked in Cheng Cheng's direction.

Someone handed Cheng Cheng a sausage. Cheng Cheng took a bite and it tasted so good that he started spinning around in circles, making a sound:

"Drive an excavator~"
