Qiu Ling lowered his head and continued to tap on the laptop: "My family has helped me find out the whole story of this matter. Someone deliberately sold the melons from the crew. I have obtained various evidences."

Director Tang was slightly excited after hearing this: "Mrs. Qiu, could you please tell me who it is?"

"You Qin and Guo Di should have been involved," Qiu Ling said, and sent all the information over. "Show these to those sponsors and see who they should chase away!"

Director Tang quickly responded, sorted out the information, and sent some key content to the sponsors.

"Bosses, we have already found out the situation. Someone deliberately sabotaged it. We cannot let the mistakes of these people be borne by those two calm, united, enthusiastic and down-to-earth actors."

This time Director Tang's drumming was particularly justified, and he didn't need to deliberately make them happy. He wished that the peasants could rise up and sing.

"Director Tang, that's what you said, but this matter has fermented a lot on the Internet. Our corrections may not work. People are very complicated animals and only want to hear what they like to hear.

They probably thought that flies don't bite seamless eggs. Since the impact has already been caused, I still suggest that the two change roles, or take the initiative to leave the crew. Maybe we can introduce them to some resources.

The rest depends on their ability!" said one of the slightly plump men cheerfully.

Director Tang frowned, "Boss Cheng, what do you mean by this?"

"What Lao Cheng meant is also what I meant. We invested money in "Phoenix Arrives" and we definitely want to see the director lead all the actors to perform well and make us a lot of money.

We can see with our own eyes that with the two of them on the crew, the revenue of "Phoenix Arrives" must have been greatly reduced, and many old fans resisted watching short videos.

In that case, why should we be so soft-hearted as to keep them here and make ourselves unhappy?" Another tall and thin man said with a smile.

Gradually, the financiers reached a consensus and not only expressed their intention to drive away Yun Xiang and Hua Rong, but also to choose those from their own family.

Director Tang knew it, so he deliberately sat beside them to watch how they argued, and continued recording for Qiu Ling at the same time.

After they used various resources to coordinate their opinions, they found that Director Tang was eating melon seeds with a savory look on his face, and he looked so excited to watch a show!

Their faces turned black. "Director Tang, you were the one who arranged the filming of Phoenix Arrives. We all came here to support you, but what do you mean by this now?"

"But bosses, I don't have a say. You guys picked the actors yourselves. I can't even guarantee how the film will turn out. I'm afraid that the money earned from filming "The Phoenix Arrives" won't be as much as expected." Director Tang sighed slightly and said. He didn't mention Yun Xiang and Hua Rong in any of his sentences.

But the financiers understood that Director Tang had his eyes on these two. If they were replaced, it would affect his mood and state for filming, and it would be a waste of time for them to get nothing.

"You are the director. As long as the actors are not particularly bad, wouldn't it be easy to make a good film after your training?"

"Yes, Director Tang, this is your time to play a role. No matter how good the actors are, they still need your guidance, right?"

Director Tang waved his hands and said, "You don't understand. If these two shoot together, it will definitely attract a wave of special fans to "The Phoenix Arrives"! Then our drama will become even more popular, and we can all make money together."

The sponsors are all rich and used to having their way, especially since they are investing money in the crew. Can't they even replace two characters with only a few lines?

Now it was no longer a discussion, their faces turned cold. "Tang Si, we invested in "Phoenix Arrives" because the original fan base was large and stable, but it was not a must.

Have you forgotten how anxious we were at the bidding meeting? Do you believe that we will withdraw our investment even if we have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages?

With that little penalty, you won't be able to shoot for long. And no one will risk being hostile to us and invest in you again!"

Director Tang paused, and when the financiers' expressions softened and they thought he would cooperate, he smiled and said, "Okay, you can withdraw your investment. Anyway, I got a large amount of liquidated damages for nothing. I can disband the crew immediately, so it won't be a loss."

The sponsors were furious. "Tang Si, do you think we don't dare?"

"Yes, I am quite capable and have produced many works that have sold well. The Phoenix is ​​a classic work that is worth filming, and you are reluctant to part with it.

I will just use Yunxiang and Huarong. If you don’t like it, just withdraw your investment.”

Director Tang looked fearless that day, as if he was sure that they would not withdraw their investment. After all, everyone thought that "The Phoenix Arrives" would be a success.

Everyone looked at each other. They had all been in high positions for a long time. When had they been led by the nose?

"Okay, then we will withdraw our investment. Once you disband the crew, we will recruit new people to form a new crew!"

Director Tang looked at them in disbelief: "Boss, are you serious?"

"Of course, change people or withdraw investment, you choose one," the financiers said coldly.

"Withdraw your investment!" Director Tang said this with a hint of anger, but he was actually very happy. If Qiu Ling hadn't given him the confidence, he really wouldn't have dared to challenge these financiers.

"Heh, Tang Si, I think you've gotten carried away by your acting career. Now that you have some money in your hands, you've forgotten the influence of people like us, right?

Fine, we’ll withdraw our investment and see how you come back and beg us to invest again!”

Towns nodded: "I'm afraid that the situation will turn around, so you should cherish the opportunity now and don't act rashly. Is withdrawing investment a trivial matter?"

Haha, he was the one who clearly said to withdraw the investment!

Everyone thought he was scared and deliberately continued to fight, "It's really not worth mentioning to us. But for you, it is a major event that will affect your directorial career.

Let us ask you one more question..."

Director Tang was a little anxious at this moment, "Don't change people! As a director, I need inspiration to guide everyone in filming. Yun Xiang and Hua Rong made me more interested in this drama, and they were able to connect many of the shortcomings, confusions, and awkward parts of the original work. What's more, it was someone else who made the mistake."

"Okay, if we can't reach an agreement, we'll withdraw our investment!" The financiers' faces turned black. They had never seen anyone who showed disrespect to the crystal stones that were delivered to their doorstep.

Both parties were so excited that the withdrawal procedures were completed very quickly. Director Tang took a screenshot of the liquidated damages and showed it to Qiu Ling: "Mrs. Qiu, I plan to use the liquidated damages to subscribe to a portion of the income of "Phoenix Arrives", which will be used as a welfare for the crew members. When the time comes, it will be distributed according to their daily performance."
