Chapter 653: Take the initiative to ask for help
"Female No. 2 is on strike?" asked Li Yundong puzzled.
Liu Fei'er was also surprised: "Wouldn't it? Kestin is crazy? She has no money and is still on strike? Aren't you afraid that we will claim compensation?"
Cao Kefei said angrily: "How do I know? The director said that Kestin was very uncooperative today, picking here and there, and the director said two words to her, and she put aside the burden and said she wouldn't do it." ”
Liu Fei'er's eyes widened: "Where did she have the confidence to say such things, don't you want to get mixed up in the Chinese film and television industry? It's a big taboo to break the contract halfway, who will dare to look for her in the future?"
Cao Kefei snorted coldly: "Who knows what kind of nerve she has?"
Li Yundong on the side asked curiously, "Don't you have any backup actors?"
Cao Kefei wanted to cry without tears: "Do you think it's playing football and basketball? When you are preparing for the film, it is possible to find a backup, but this is a TV series, and it has started filming, where is the backup? Although Kestin has a big temper, her requirements are still very in line with the requirements of the TV series, and the image and temperament are also very consistent, and the acting skills are also good, even if you want to find an actor again, there is no place to find it for a while."
Liu Fei'er comforted: "Sister Cao, don't worry, you hurry up and call her, maybe there is still room for maneuver... ”
Cao Kefei didn't say much, picked up her mobile phone and dialed Kestin's phone, but as soon as she dialed, there was a prompt tone from the other party, "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off", Cao Kefei was furious: "It seems that she really has a hard heart"
Li Yundong didn't know anything about the whole thing at all, but when he saw Cao Kefei so angry, he persuaded: "Anger hurts the liver, Mr. Cao, pay attention to your body, don't worry, can a living person still suffocate urine?"
Liu Fei'er also said: "Yes, yes, Sister Cao, image, pay attention to your image"
Cao Kefei realized that she was a little out of shape, she reluctantly smiled at Li Yundong, and then turned her face away, looking out the window, her eyebrows were full of haze and worry...
At this time, Xia Yu on the side whispered to Li Yundong: "Mr. Cao is miserable this time......
Li Yundong asked rhetorically: "How do you say this?"
Xia Yu said softly: "Mr. Cao is now not only the company's capital chain is broken, but the operation of the crew has also fallen into an impasse in the early stage, although Mr. Cao relied on Mr. Zhao's investment to revitalize the crew, but Mr. Zhao is very cunning, and the money is always given little by little, as if he wants to control Mr. Cao, and the crew will come to a halt at any time." I think it is possible that Kestin is looking at such a situation, and wants to threaten Mr. Cao with a strike to raise his salary... ”
Li Yundong asked again: "Mr. Cao can't pay more wages?"
Xia Yu shook his head: "Don't talk about more salary, even the current one may not be able to pay, almost every time she makes a film, she begs her grandfather to sue ***, it's okay to say that if the film loses, then she will be miserable." This time, Kestin's strike will definitely prolong the filming cycle, and the shooting cycle will also affect the time and effect of the film's launch, and it will increase the cost, and other investors will definitely be even more unhappy, and then there will be trouble at home and abroad......"
Saying that, Xia Yu shook his head, with a look of unthinkability.
Li Yundong pondered for a while, then turned to Cao Kefei and asked, "What are the requirements for the second female lead in this film?"
Cao Kefei turned her face and said without thinking: "This TV series is about exotic love, the second female is a foreign woman, she must be beautiful in appearance, outstanding in temperament, it is best to have the feeling of being a lady, reserved and sunny... In fact, the acting skills of this role are secondary, but temperament and feeling are very important, we have tried many foreign actresses, but they don't have this feeling. Although Kestine's character is very bad, her acting skills are very solid, and she acts like anything, so she was selected in the first place. ”
After listening to this, Li Yundong groaned slightly, and nodded: "I know, I'll see this Kestin in a while." ”
Cao Kefei looked at Li Yundong and asked tentatively, "Do you have a way?"
Li Yundong smiled slightly: "Try it, maybe it will work." ”
Cao Kefei's heart jumped, she had seen all kinds of incredible abilities of this boy, but she didn't dare to imagine that Li Yundong could help her settle such a trivial and bad thing...
Li Yundong saw Cao Kefei's happy face, so he said with a smile: "Don't be happy too early, I'm just trying, and I may not succeed." ”
The smile on Cao Kefei's face was sincere and calm, and she smiled: "I'm very happy if you are willing to help, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not, you are right, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will definitely be a way." ”
Liu Fei'er also turned her face and smiled at Li Yundong: "If you can settle this matter, how about I make you my idol?"
Li Yundong smiled, arched his hand and smiled: "Don't dare, don't you dare your fans won't kill me?"
Liu Fei'er chuckled: "It's not a simple and casual thing to be my idol, you can think about it yourself." ”
Li Yundong smiled and didn't answer her again...
After driving for about ten minutes, the group came to the seaside studio, and as soon as they entered the shooting site, Li Yundong saw a short man talking bitterly to a brown-haired and blue-eyed woman.
When the man saw Cao Kefei at a glance, he immediately greeted him and vomited bitterness: "Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao, are you finally here? Go and tell her yourself, I can't communicate." ”
Cao Kefei glanced at Kestin who was smoking a cigarette not far away, and she nodded: "Director Song, let me persuade you to see what she wants to do." ”
Saying that, she greeted her, Director Song looked at her figure, a little dazed for a while, he looked at Li Yundong next to him, was slightly stunned, and asked Liu Fei'er, "Who is this?"
Liu Fei'er smiled: "This is Mr. Cao's friend... ”
Director Song said with a hesitant face: "Idlers can't enter the studio, don't you know the rules?"
Liu Fei'er said disappreciably: "He's not an idle person, he's amazing, he's here to help us." ”
Director Song has obviously been holding back his anger these days, and he sneered a little out of place: "Okay, I want to see how he can help." ”
Li Yundong listened to these words in his ears, he was not angry, he just glanced at Director Song lightly, and then his eyes fell on Cao Kefei's body, he saw Cao Kefei talking to Casten softly, and the low-voiced appearance was like a little daughter-in-law seeing a wicked in-law, but she didn't pour tea and water to compensate for it, which made people think that this Kestin was the boss of the crew, not Cao Kefei.
At first, Kestin didn't say a word to Cao Kefei, but later, Cao Kefei said with a blue face: "It's absolutely impossible who instructed you to do this."
Kestin didn't answer her words, just sneered, took a deep breath, sprayed a puff of smoke on Cao Kefei's face, and laughed proudly...
Cao Kefei frowned, and subconsciously took a step back, Liu Fei'er on the side was angry, and rushed up and said loudly in English: "Pay attention to your attitude"
Kestin glanced at her contemptuously, and replied-for-tat: "Pay attention to your words, little girl"
Liu Fei'er was furious and was about to quarrel with her, but when she saw Li Yundong walking up, she stretched out her hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll talk to her." ”
When Liu Fei'er saw him come up, her face was overjoyed, and she obediently stepped aside...
Li Yundong looked at Kestin, turned his head to Cao Kefei and said, "The talk has collapsed?"
Cao Kefei held back her anger and said in a low voice: "Her conditions are too harsh. ”
Li Yundong asked, "What conditions?"
Cao Kefei said: "She asked to increase the role of the female number two, surpassing the female number one, in short, to replace Liu Feier as the female number one." ”
Li Yundong frowned, and before he could speak, Liu Fei'er suddenly whispered: "Sister Cao, I don't have any opinion, if the matter can be settled." ”
Cao Kefei shook her head: "It's not that simple, she also asked to double her current salary." ”
At this time, Liu Fei'er stopped talking, Kestin's salary was not low, and now if it is doubled, the cost of the TV series will surge, and if she doubles, what about other people?
Li Yundong asked in a deep voice, "That's all?"
Cao Kefei sneered: "Not only that, she has a big appetite, and she also asks for 30% of the revenue share after the TV series is sold in the future."
Liu Fei'er was shocked and said: "She's really crazy, no one with a little IQ will make this kind of request, she gets it faster than the investor alone, who do she think she is?
Cao Kefei sneered again and again, without saying a word.
Li Yundong laughed instead: "I understand, Mr. Cao, if you trust me, you will leave it to me to deal with, is it okay?"
Cao Kefei hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when Director Song next to him stepped forward and complained to Li Yundong with a reproachful face: "Hey, who are you? As soon as you come here, you want to point fingers? Don't you see that we are already messy and annoying here? Please look in the mirror and don't make a mess for them, okay?"
Li Yundong didn't look at him either, looked directly at Cao Kefei, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Cao, you make your own decisions."
Cao Kefei looked at Li Yundong fixedly, and her mind was like lightning for a while, she remembered that when she first met Li Yundong, the boy in front of her was so young that he would be shy, but at this time he had grown into a man who stood up to the sky, and his broad shoulders could shelter him from the wind and rain.
Cao Kefei looked at Li Yundong's gentle gaze, and somehow, his heart gradually settled down, as if as long as this boy came out, he would be able to settle everything no matter what.
Cao Kefei nodded slightly, and said softly: "Then I'll leave it to you." ”
Director Song on the side has always had a good impression of Cao Kefei, he saw that Cao Kefei was looking at Li Yundong very ambiguously, and his heart became more and more unhappy, plus the matter in front of him was even related to the life and death of the crew and Cao Kefei's company, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Mr. Cao, you won't be able to?
Cao Kefei turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "I am responsible for the decisions I made, you shut up"
Today's Cao Kefei is glamorous, Director Song was drunk by her, and suddenly felt a momentum of killing and decisiveness, and what he wanted to say was forced to swallow back.
Li Yundong got Cao Kefei's approval, he turned his head to Liu Fei'er and smiled: "You can help me be a translator." ”
Before Liu Fei'er could speak, Director Song sneered, looking at the lively thoughts, he sneered in his heart: Hmph, there is no hair on the mouth, and this little white face can't even use English if he can't handle things well?
As he was sneering, the other staff in the studio noticed the situation and gathered around to see how this excessively young boy would deal with the crisis in front of him.
