Raised the wolf cub again

Qiao Yue was in a daze for a while, and when he recovered, the topic changed back.

"The launch conference, publicity, venue, schedule, personnel coordination...everything is ready and waiting for the launch, and the lead actor will stop acting temporarily."

"Now the investors are quite dissatisfied, and they only gave us three days. If we can't find a suitable actor within three days, we will withdraw the investment. "Dark City Puzzle" is over, and more than a year of hard work has been wasted."

Jing Yi continued: "There are only two ways now. One, find a way to persuade Qi Hanchuan to come back to act, and everyone will be happy. Two, find an actor who fits the role within three days, satisfies everyone, and has a schedule, then that's OK. "

"The first solution is obviously not feasible. Master Qi is notoriously capricious in the entertainment industry. If he doesn't want to act, the possibility of persuading him is zero. If you want to sue him through legal means? You have to look at the Qi Group behind him first. We can't afford to mess with it."

The chair turned around, and Jing Yi turned to face them, speaking slowly, "Then now, there is only the second way."

Jing Yi's pair of peach blossom eyes lost the usual lazy and casual nature, and now his eyes were dark and his expression was serious, "The protagonist Chu Lin of "Dark City Puzzle" is a secret agent, there are many martial arts scenes in the play, the producer requires Stand-ins cannot be used, so the requirements for Chu Lin’s actors are very strict. Qi Hanchuan has served in the army, knows martial arts and fighting, and his image is also suitable, so he was the No. 1 choice at the time.”

"Of course, Qi Hanchuan is not the only one who is suitable for this role, but now that the filming is about to start, within three days, even if an actor who is completely suitable can be found, he may not have a schedule."

Jing Yi took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, and slumped on the chair like a deflated ball, "So, there are two ways, but in fact there is no way."

The atmosphere in the office was suppressed for a while, He Yang asked softly: "A Yi, is there no other way?"

"No." Jing Yi said.

After another long silence, Qiao Yue said, "I'll try the first method."

"Are you going to see Qi Hanchuan?" Jing Yi almost jumped up from his chair.

Qiao Yue nodded: "There must be a reason for his sudden resignation. I want to find out and see if there is room for change."

"Qiao Yue, you don't know this young master Qi. He doesn't lack money, and he doesn't lack fans. He entered the entertainment industry purely for fun. He won't reason with you, nor will he listen to your reasoning. .” Jing Yi shook his head, “It’s useless.”

Qiao Yue said: "But you also said that it is basically impossible to find an actor who fits the role and has a schedule within three days. Therefore, the only way is to persuade Qi Hanchuan to come back and continue acting."

Qiao Yue's attitude was firm, Jing Yi frowned and hesitated for a moment, and didn't stop him: "Okay, if you want to try, I won't stop you. But we can't offend this Young Master Qi, you try your best, follow his lead, and fail It doesn't matter."

Qiao Yue nodded slightly, "Yes."

Qiao Yue didn't expect that before he went to find Qi Hanchuan, Qi Hanchuan went to him first.

The meeting place is a coffee shop under the Qi Group.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Yue arrived at the designated private room of the coffee shop. Qi Hanchuan was already waiting for him inside, ordered a cup of coffee for him, and introduced: "Mocha, the signboard in my shop, I don't know if it fits the taste of Manager Qiao. ?”

"Thank you." Qiao Yue sat down opposite Qi Hanchuan.

"I don't like to hear or talk about beating around the bush. The purpose of asking you out today is very simple. I only have one question." Qi Hanchuan paused, his eyes scrutinized Qiao Yue's face, "What is your relationship with Xiu Ze?" ?”

Qiao Yue let the other party scrutinize him, took a sip of coffee without panic, "Well, it tastes good."

After slowly putting down the coffee, Qiao Yue answered the other party.

"Master Qi is a straightforward person, and I like to deal with them. I promised to come out to see you today, and I also have a question I want to ask." Qiao Yue asked directly, "Why did Young Master Qi resign from "Dark City Puzzle"?"

"Hahaha, it's rumored that Manager Joe's negotiating skills are top-notch, and he never lets others take advantage of him. I saw you today, as expected. You first tell me what your relationship with Xiu Ze is, and I'll tell you the reason for my resignation."

Qi Hanchuan's impression in the entertainment industry is that he is headstrong, doing whatever he wants, regardless of other people's feelings.But he is still the son of the old fox of the Qi Group, and he is no less cunning than his father.

Although Qi Hanchuan is smart, Qiao Yue is not stupid.

"The reason for Young Master Qi's resignation has been widely spread in Tianjing Entertainment, saying yes, in a bad mood? But I am not very satisfied with this reason. I would like to hear some other reasons. If Young Master Qi's answer satisfies me, I will tell you Your relationship with Xiu Ze."

Qiao Yue drank his coffee with a smile on his face, as if he was not here to negotiate, or to have a cup of afternoon tea.

Qi Hanchuan said: "Honestly speaking, Vice President Qiao, Tianjing is now facing the crisis of investors withdrawing capital, and you can't find anyone who can replace me in a short time. I think you should say something nice now to please me." I, beg me, let me go back to acting again. Look at your attitude, does it seem like you are begging for help?"

"Well, not like it. It's difficult to find an actor who can replace you in a short period of time, but it's not impossible, is it? Young Master Qi has a moving image in the circle. Of course, we can't just prepare one plan."

On the surface, Qiao Yue is calm and composed, but in fact he has no bottom in his heart.He is using psychological tactics. Only by figuring out the reasons for Qi Hanchuan's resignation can he persuade the other party from the root cause.

"Your plan B is Xiu Ze?" Qi Hanchuan was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Do you think the Asian best actor will take this kind of role?"

Qiao Yue didn't say anything, his plan B wasn't to find Xiu Ze, of course he knew that Xiu Ze wouldn't answer, but actually he didn't think about Xiu Ze.

"I think you are very confident. Let me tell you, Xiu Ze has accepted the new film directed by Kane, and he is busy promoting it in California now. It is impossible for him to accept this role."

"Or do you think that if you sleep with him a few times, he will lose his reputation for you?"

Qi Hanchuan's words got worse and worse.

"Who doesn't know that you, the manager, just slept with you. Mr. Yi, you dote on you, don't you? An old man who is in the middle of his life, I don't know how you got into Xiu Ze's eyes."

Qi Hanchuan is wearing a suit from a seasonal fashion brand today, with curly chestnut-colored hair and pale skin, at first glance he looks like a melancholy and beautiful Japanese boy.But the "I am the only one" in his eyes, and the silver letter earring on his left ear, gave him a bit of a rebellious taste.

"You still look better with wheat-colored skin."

In a word, ignite all flames.

What Qi Hanchuan cares most is that other people talk about his indifference.

"I think Deputy Qiao always doesn't want "Dark City Puzzle" to start successfully." Qi Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, and every word seemed to pop out from between his teeth.

"Young Master Qi's single eyelids look very similar to mine, but I think, even if you stand in front of Xiu Ze, he won't take a second look at you."

After saying this, Qiao Yue seemed to hear the sound of "cracking" at the joints, and Qi Hanchuan's expression was not good until he left.

This can be regarded as completely offending Qi Hanchuan, and the first method is no longer feasible.

Qiao Yue returned home. He made 350 phone calls that day, and finally contacted an actor who was on vacation willing to take the role and had a schedule.

Qiao Yue came to visit in person, and the conversation went smoothly.

The next day, at the press conference for the replacement of the lead actor.

Seeing that the time for the press conference was approaching, the actor hadn't arrived yet, and the assistant had been on the phone, but he hadn't gotten through.

"Dark City Puzzle" has attracted much attention since its preparation. At today's press conference, there were also many media reporters and fans present.

Can't make everyone wait, Qiao Yue said: "Let the host delay the time first."

He told the assistant to continue calling.

Ten minutes after the press conference, the call finally got through, but the actor refused after apologizing on the pretext of relapse.

Nearly half of the media in the entertainment industry are waiting outside at this moment, but the leading actor did not show up at the press conference for the replacement of the leading actor.

How to explain to the media?

How to explain to fans?

In three days, no actor was found, and the investor withdrew their capital. What would be the consequences?

Everyone knows that.

At the moment, the backstage atmosphere was as cold as an icehouse.

"It's not a relapse. This actor was threatened by Qi Hanchuan." Jing Yi said, "Our Tianjing is probably being targeted by the Qi Group. Now the media is waiting for us to change actors, but it is impossible to change a person temporarily. Come out. This time, I'm afraid not only the show will be over, but also the reputation will be over."

He Yang asked Qiao Yue: "Brother, did you offend that Qi Hanchuan?"

Jing Yi said: "I believe he has sense of proportion. Some people, if you don't mess with him, he won't come to punish you."

"It's my fault." Qiao Yue said, "I offended Qi Hanchuan."

Jing Yi: "No matter whose fault it is, the most important thing now is how to give the media an explanation."

"Why don't you ask Brother Gu Fei to help you?" He Yang said.

"He didn't have a schedule and the image didn't fit."

Jing Yi answered a phone call, and his already bad face became even worse.

Qiao Yue asked: "What happened to the company?"

Jing Yi nodded.

Qiao Yue said: "You go first, leave this place to me."

Jing Yi brought bodyguards and several executives with him, and He Yang was worried that Jing Yi would go with him, and the backstage immediately became cold.

The host came down from the stage.

"Mr. Qiao, I really can't procrastinate any longer. I suspect that if I say another word, they will come up with a camera and beat me up."

"Rest, it's okay." Qiao Yue said.

Originally, the media was only skeptical and speculative, but now they have begun to question whether Tianjing is teasing them.

"I'm sorry for making everyone wait so long." Qiao Yue took the microphone and walked onto the stage, "Please wait patiently, our replacement actor will be stuck on the road for at most half an hour..."

A hat flew up from the stage and hit Qiao Yue on the forehead.

A man put the camera in his hand aside and cursed: "Patience? I'm already patient enough, how long do you want me to wait?"

Someone started, and others also spoke.

"That's right, half an hour? I said to wait for half an hour just now, but what happened? How many and a half hours are left? Be sure, don't waste everyone's time."

"Are you going to hold a press conference? It's fun to trick us here?"

"I'm really sorry for wasting everyone's time." Qiao Yue lowered his head.

There's nothing I can do now except apologize.

"Actually, no one wants to come, right?"

A male reporter with acne all over his face came to the stage, one meter away from Qiao Yue.

"I'm afraid everyone won't be able to report the news about the actor change today." The acne-prone man said loudly to the audience, "Well, if you can't report this, you can report something else."

"I heard that Mr. Qiao, from his transition to becoming the youngest gold medal manager of Tianjing Entertainment, to now becoming the vice president of Tianjing, there are some indescribable transactions."

When the others heard this, they rushed towards the stage suddenly.

The acne-prone man smiled wretchedly, "Mr. Qiao, can you tell us about the indescribable process?"

"I also heard that Mr. Qiao was once hired by your boss. I wonder if it's true?"

"You joined Tianjing for the position of vice president, right?"

……

Qiao Yue was surrounded by the crowd. He covered his face with his hands, but he was still hit by the microphone and the camera several times.

He wanted to retreat, but couldn't; he wanted to leave, but couldn't.

The voices of questioning and insulting around him buried him like a flood breaking a bank.

After an unknown amount of time, the voices stopped in an instant.

The bodyguards who filed in separated the crowd from the middle and separated a one-meter-wide road.

The first six bodyguards went straight to the stage, keeping the reporters two meters away.

Expensive video cameras lay on the ground and no one picked them up.

The fans wanted to scream several times, but were too intimidated by the expressionless black-clothed bodyguards to speak out.

The dance hall with thousands of people was as quiet as a wasteland.

Only one voice remained.

"Sorry, I'm late."

On the other side of the stage, where the lights were dimming, was Xiu Ze in a windbreaker.
