But soon, Du Caige discovered that the media was full of headlines: "Shocked, Hemingway treated Shu Yihuan like this", "The two famous directors finally broke up", "Hemingway: Shu Yihuan, you don't understand movies" and other headlines.

Click on it, and most of the words in it are made up, and some words he said at the meeting are also mixed in, but they are quoted out of context, or used embellishments.

For example, "Hemingway said that Shu Yihuan's movie will definitely fail at the box office, and everyone must be mentally prepared for this."

"Hemingway believes that Shu Yihuan is not suitable to continue directing this film."

"Shu Yihuan was too meticulous about this movie, which caused the actual expenditure to exceed the budget and required additional investment. But Hemingway was furious about this, thinking that the cost of this movie would be too high if it went on like this, and it would be difficult to recover the investment. Replace it, and find another experienced director to save the scene."

As a result, most people who don't know the truth will feel disgusted with Du Caige after reading these articles, thinking that Du Caige has done too much.

Du Caige could clearly feel that the crew members were not looking right at him anymore.

As for Shu Yihuan, I haven't spoken to him for a while, and I haven't asked him to shoot some clips.

The director and the assistant director should be the ones who communicate the most in the crew, but they don't even make eye contact now.

At this time, several investors asked Shu Yihuan to go back and communicate face to face to discuss additional investment.

For such an important matter, the video conference is still a bit meaningless.

Shu Yihuan asked another assistant director to continue filming, while he himself rushed back to the magic city to attend the meeting.

In fact, Du Caige is also going back to Shanghai, and he will also attend this meeting.

But Shu Yihuan just doesn't go with Du Caige.

Obviously, both of them booked the same high-speed rail ticket.

Still in the same car.

But they just took different means of transportation to go to the high-speed rail station.

Until the high-speed train stopped in Shanghai, neither of them said a word.

When they arrived at the meeting venue, Shu Yihuan seemed to have just seen Du Caige, and nodded at him with a smile: "Director Du is here too."

"Yes," Du Caige said coldly, "Has Director Shu already figured out how to deal with the questioning?"

"Interrogation?" Shu Yihuan looked surprised, "Why didn't I know that I was going to be interrogated today? There is still this process in the meeting?"

Du Caige said, "Oh, then I'll tell you now."

Shu Yi laughed and laughed: "Who will question me?"

"I."

Shu Yihuan's smile disappeared, and he took a serious look at Du Caige, and said, "Director Du, don't blame me for being straightforward. Do you think you have the right to question me?"

"I'm questioning you as an investor, not as an assistant director. Director Shu, please clarify this point. I invested a lot of money in your movie to make money, not to let you make it Some inexplicable things to practice."

Shu Yihuan stabbed in a light tone: "It's normal for Director Du not to understand my films, after all, the levels are different. But if you say that the things I shoot are inexplicable, that's too much. If you take the liberty to ask, how many films has Director Du won?" Has it exceeded one billion at the box office?"

Du Caige sneered and said, "Which movie is Director Shu's first to earn over [-] million box office?"

Shu Yihuan was suffocated, and said calmly: "If you think you can do it, then you can go, and the director's chair can be handed over to you."

"That's fine, Director Shu, you can bring it up at the meeting and let me take over the filming."

The corner of Shu Yihuan's mouth twitched, "Director Du is so confident? It's a pity that self-confidence without practical support only makes people feel funny."

Chapter 550 No Habit of Giving Up Halfway

The two stared at each other, Shu Yihuan's expression was indifferent and distant, and Du Caige was a little annoyed in his indifference.

After a long time, Shu Yihuan said: "Director Du, let's go in, it's too hot outside, go in and turn on the air conditioner."

Du Caige nodded: "Director Shu, believe it or not, I have no personal grudges against you. On the contrary, I admire you and appreciate your movies."

After a moment of hesitation, Shu Yihuan said, "Me too."

Du Caige forced a smile: "I targeted you not because I dislike you or anything, but because Chasing Dream Huyu is the lead investment company."

"And as the major shareholder of the leading investment company, I have to be responsible to other investors. In private, I admire your bold attempt to make experimental films, and some of your shooting techniques are also very interesting."

Shu Yihuan turned her face away: "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't, I haven't tried any experimental shooting techniques."

Du Caige sighed, "Okay, let's stop here, click to the end, click to the end." Then he made a "please" gesture.

Shu Yihuan bowed slightly and walked in first.

……

When the meeting was over and everyone came out, Du Caige looked calm and just shook his head.

Shu Yihuan smirked politely, and had a friendly chat with the representative of Jiutian Media, without any complacency in her eyes.

They stayed in Modu for one night, and then returned to the crew respectively the next day.

During the lunch break, Xu Qingya came to Du Caige with a lunch box, and put a few pieces of braised pork into Du Caige's bowl with a look of disgust.

"No! I want to control my weight."

Xu Qingya rolled his eyes at him, "Why do you, a middle-aged uncle, control your weight?"

Du Caige said melancholy: "Well-proportioned and handsome, that's what you call an uncle. Otherwise, you're greasy middle-aged."

Xu Qingya burst out laughing, her beautiful smile was like a flower blooming, "Uncle, you are actually in good shape. You don't need to control it too much."

"The past six months have been too busy, I haven't exercised, and I have gained 5 catties."

"It's okay, even if you're not handsome anymore," Xu Qingya looked around and lowered her voice, "Even if Sister Duan dislikes you and doesn't want you anymore, I will take you in."

Du Caige said in his heart, even if I became 300 catties, Duan Xiaochen would not leave me.

But of course he wouldn't say such damn things in front of another girl who liked him.

In fact, Duan Xiaochen seemed to have lost his anger in the past few days, and began to act coquettishly to him on the phone again, flirting with him, and expressing his lovesickness.

He also started to sell the shares to Yan Yingzhen before complaining and blaming him.

At present, Duan Xiaochen has finished most of her roles in "Zhu Xian", and she is releasing a new song in Sakurajima and doing publicity.

After a while, I will come back to make up some shots.

The director of "Zhu Xian" is really a quick shooter. It has only been two months and less than three months since the start of the show, and a TV series with an estimated 3 episodes is almost finished.

In contrast, if Shu Yihuan still had the slightest sense of shame, she should go buy a piece of tofu and kill her head-on.

"Wudang" has also been filmed for two months, and even one-tenth of the progress has not been completed.

"Yesterday's meeting, it seems that it didn't achieve the desired effect. Shu Dao is still the director, and his position is very stable." Xu Qingya felt a little regretful.

"Actually, the goal has been achieved." Du Caige comforted her in turn, "it was impossible to get him down easily. And you made a mistake, I never want to get him down. As long as he can restrain himself a little and take pictures seriously , stop trying experimental methods, speed up the progress, and I will support him. The current result is actually what I expected."

"What is the result?"

Du Caige explained: "There will be additional investment, and no one will move his director position, and it is guaranteed that he will not interfere with his autonomy in shooting. However, Jiutian Media and Dahua Zitian will send a producer, and another producer The filmmaker will also stay on the set for a long time, which can be regarded as a constraint on him."

"Producer? Why didn't I know there was a producer for this movie." Xu Qingya said curiously.

"Every movie has a producer. You didn't know it before because the producer of this movie didn't have a strong sense of existence."

"Brother Du, don't speak ill of me behind my back!" While speaking, the visitor had already approached quickly.

Xu Qingya was not familiar with the visitor, so she asked Du Caige for help with her eyes.

Du Caige smiled and introduced: "This is Brother Jin, Ouyang Jin. He used to be Xiaochen's manager, but now he has changed his career to be a producer. You have to beware of his unspoken rules! This man looks handsome, but he is actually not a good guy .”

"Brother Du, do you have the right to say that I'm not a good guy?" Ouyang Jin laughed, and stretched out his hand to Xu Qingya: "Beauty Xu, I've admired you for a long time."

"Brother Ouyang, hello." Xu Qingya shook hands with him reservedly.

"Don't listen to Director Du's nonsense, I came out publicly in the circle." Ouyang Jin said frankly.

Xu Qingya's expression relaxed a little.

"I've never been a producer before. This time, I'm trying to catch ducks on the shelves. Brother Du, please give me your advice." Ouyang Jin's gaze behind the lens was cautious and a little worried.

Naturally, he didn't come here to chat with Xu Qingya, he mainly wanted to communicate with Du Caige.He knew how difficult the errand was.

"I don't dare to give advice. It's not difficult to be a qualified producer, but it's very difficult to be an excellent producer. But Brother Jin, you won't be a producer all the time. There is a position reserved for you at the top of the company. This time, the main thing is that you need to check the finances and control the budget so that you can't overspend. In addition, I also hope that you can coordinate the relationship between Shu Dao and the several producers, and make things smooth so that everyone doesn't get into trouble. .” Du Caige said frankly.

"I understand. I can roughly guess what I will face, and I will handle it carefully." Ouyang Jin is very clear that there are pits everywhere in front of him, and he will fall into the pit if he is not careful.

The pit was filled with foul-smelling, moldy water.

Maybe someone will be overhead, throwing stones into the pit.

As a producer, he is likely to be the one to blame.

But Ouyang Jin also knew that if he survived this catastrophe, he would be able to become the top executive of Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment.

Risk and opportunity are originally a pair of twins.

You can't just have this and not that.

If you want opportunities, you must take risks.

In the same way, when you encounter risks, as long as you are bold and cautious, you will be able to see opportunities from them.

Ouyang Jin is a smart man.

Compared with 95% of the people in this world, he is young and promising, with a successful career.

After all, he is only in his 30s, and he already has tens of millions of assets. He talks and laughs with great scholars, and has no casual contacts. He usually deals with elites from all walks of life, and he is very familiar with many big capitals.

He can naturally understand this truth.

Du Caige and Duan Xiaochen teamed up to push him to be the producer, not to harm him, but to really need a "person of their own" in that position.

And, as long as he can complete the task, he will get high-quality rewards.

Of course he had no real complaints.

After talking with Du Caige, Ouyang Jin went to find Shu Yihuan.

Xu Qingya lowered her voice and said, "Uncle, the wind direction on the Internet is very unfriendly to you. Why don't you just quit this movie, just say that you don't feel well, or you have something else to deal with. The assistant director is fine in front of you." mean."

Du Caige sighed.

Indeed, he came to serve as Shu Yihuan's assistant director with two main purposes: one is to learn something, and the other is to gain qualifications.

Then, it is best to dig a few capable people.

But now it is very clear that these two goals are unlikely to be achieved.

It's even possible that if he didn't eat the mutton, he would provoke a whole body of worms instead.

He looked at Xu Qingya with gentle eyes: "Don't worry about me, I don't have the energy to survive the storm? This scale is just a drizzle. You, concentrate on learning things, Shu Dao is indeed trying experimental methods, but his skills are There, with his guidance, your acting skills can improve quickly. Even if the box office of the final movie is poor, you must ensure that your own role is outstanding, understand."

"I know, Uncle, but I don't have many roles in the future. After a few days of filming, I will go to Sakurajima to join Sister Duan to promote my 'Pipa Tour'. Uncle, you promised me the national style album, When will you do it for me?"

Du Caige felt a big headache: "After a while, after a while."

Xu Qingya deliberately smiled and said, "Uncle, you must have had bad intentions and deliberately refused to make an album for me. You just want to taste something sweet, right?"

She lowered her voice: "Then. I'll give you some sweetness tonight~ Hurry up and help me make an album!"

That sweet voice was full of allure.

In fact, she rarely teases Du Caige like this.

She will be gentle, considerate, cute, mischievous, eccentric, and sometimes classical, elegant, and dignified.

But not too sexy.It's not her style.

Du Caige knew that she said that, on the one hand, she was joking, and on the other hand, she wanted to persuade herself to leave the film crew and concentrate on making music for a while.

In this way, even if the box office of "Wudang" is bleak and the word-of-mouth collapses, it will not affect me.

Those trolls and sunspots on the Internet can no longer make a fuss about themselves.

But... Du Caige doesn't have the habit of giving up halfway.

Chapter 551 This is tricky
