Chapter 72 Taking Advantage

This is the case in the business world. Long-term cooperation may not be because of how good the friendship is. On the contrary, some people use the so-called friendship to take advantage of the partners, but it is related to favors and face. They can only turn a blind eye to many things.

……………………………………………………………………

Qi Wu smiled at Lu Yuchi and said, "You hope Wan Qianqian will play the heroine and cooperate with variety shows, which may be a bit difficult."

“Is the pay expensive?”

"It's not expensive, she's considered a 'third line'. Besides, if it's the issue of pay, can you still solve it?" Qi Wu lit a cigar and started talking to Lu Yuchi.

According to Qi Wu, this Wan Qianqian is first considered a clear stream in the entertainment industry. She was banned for rejecting the pursuit of a director. She has not had any works for many years. Her acting skills are good and her image is outstanding, but not many people in the circle dare to use her.

Of course, Qi Wu also knew that Lu Yuchi was not a person in the circle. Even if he was - he would not care about these things, who was he afraid of? But Qi Wu still said this to Lu Yuchi, which was a reminder in advance. Whether to listen or not is Lu Yuchi's personal choice.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Yuchi didn't care about any director. He was just a bunch of bad people, and he could give him some face or step on him to death.

After hearing this, he felt more fond of Wan Qianxi. This fondness may not be an inappropriate thought, but more of an appreciation. You should know that many artists in the entertainment industry are obedient to such things, imprisoning them, and even willingly.

Qi Wu continued to say that the second is the issue of schedule.

"Dispatch? You just said that she is in the third tier, and many people dare not use her." Lu Yuchi said while lit a cigarette.

"Listen to me..."

Schedule is relative. Some artists work three or four cities a day and work continuously, but many of them are local commercial performances that are not on TV. Some artists only shoot one or two dramas a year, but may not be able to broadcast them. Therefore, the few works presented by an artist does not mean that he has less work. Moreover, even if he only shoots one drama a year, the shooting time of this drama conflicts with other programs, which is also called no schedule.

As far as Qi Wu knows, Wan Qianqian had taken on a drama before, but the filming of that drama was stopped due to some problems. However, the contract signed by her company with others was quite harsh. The cycle of this drama is half a year, and other dramas are not allowed to be taken on in half a year.

"Hey? Don't many actors take on several dramas at the same time?" Lu Yuchi asked.

Qi Wu smoked a cigar and said, "It depends on identity. Not all actors are so free. In fact, only one movie is filmed in the same period of time, and the investment in time, energy, and roles is the best."

Lu Yuchi nodded and said, "It makes sense, but he conflicts with me, which is wrong. Besides, the show has stopped. Why don't you let others shoot anything else? After talking for a long time, why did it stop?"

"There was an actor who died in the crew while filming. This incident had a great impact. It was not easy for me to watch it if they wanted to resume filming."

"Then he makes no sense. If you can't take a photo, why don't you give up the 'issue'?"

"Ha, then who knows what investors think? There is no accurate statement. This investor is a well-known rich second generation and has never done any serious business. I guess - of course this is just my guess, he may be - interested in someone."

"How shameless! What's the matter? Well? Wan Qianxi just terminated her contract with him, how much is it to pay?"

"This is not just a matter of money. Wan Qianxi's agency is not strong, and the registered capital is only 500,000."

"I'll start a company after 500,000?"

"So, this - money is easy to deal with, but they dare not offend the big boss."

As they chatted, the waiter also started serving the dishes. Lu Yuchi raised his glass and said to Qi Wu, "Come on, I'll give you a cup first."

"Don't you do this. You mean to let me come forward and support them, so that they dare to offend that investor."

"It's boring to put it bluntly. You are calling the wind and rain in the entertainment industry, so there is no need to explain these little things."

"It's useless to say it clearly. I want to be able to handle this matter. Why do I tell you so much? I will do it for you..."

Qi Wu is calling the wind and rain in the entertainment industry, but he is not the only one who calls the wind and rain in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry is divided into gangs and dispatches, and many relationships are complicated.

If Qi Wu comes forward to solve this problem for the sake of the artist in his company, or at least a familiar artist, it will be no problem for him to solve it, but Wan Qianqian has never cooperated with him, let alone his artist.

On the contrary, the director Wan Qianqian offended before often cooperated with Qi Wu. If Qi Wu digs Wan Qianqian into his own company, he will have an explanation to the outside world, and the director will have to sell him face.

But he came forward to support Wan Qianqian's current agency just to poach other people's artists? This is unreasonable. If he wants to poach other people's artists, don't mention support, but if he doesn't support him, he will not offend the investor for him.

Another point is that Qi Wu not only works in the entertainment industry, he also operates automobile sales. The investor's father had a lot of cooperation with him in this regard.

After hearing this, Lu Yuchi asked, "That means that no matter what aspect, even if you have the ability to do this, you can't come forward?"

"That's right. Otherwise, I'll have to get the actor you want for you. But I really have difficulties here, how many years of cooperative relationships..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm doing business too. I understand this. Then if I offend them or even infringe on the interests of the prodigal son's father, will you lose?" Lu Yuchi had to ask this first before he could decide what to do next.

"I'm happy that you broke his company. That's my dad's classmate. I told you, my dad... he has taken advantage of us anyway. But after working for so long, if I didn't have any too much principled issues, I wouldn't be able to offend him and break off relations with him."

Indeed, this is the case in the business world. Long-term cooperation may not be because of how good the friendship is. On the contrary, some people will use the so-called friendship to take advantage of the partner. However, due to favors and face, they can only turn a blind eye to many things.

"Okay, then you can help me contact Wan Qianxi's agency, right? It's better that she's here too, so you have to talk to them first."

"This is easy to deal with." After saying that, Qi Wu picked up the phone.

At the same time, Lu Yuchi's younger brother Lu Fengxiang also called.

"Fengxiang, what's wrong?"

"Brother, the uncle (uncle) said - hehe... that..." Lu Fengxiang said a little embarrassed.

"You 'domineering president', don't smile at me. As soon as Lao Lu (Lu Yuchi's father Lu Zhixiong) talks, I'm definitely in trouble, so just say it." Lu Yuchi said helplessly.

"My father-in-law's birthday tomorrow, and the old man said he had to say he would give me some gifts."

"Well, then?" Lu Yuchi asked angrily.

"You also know that my father-in-law likes antiques. The old man said that you have a fan on Liu Yong's running script, and it's called... What's the one with 'Liuzhou You'?"

"You called the wrong one, you're dead!"

"Hey, hey, don't, brother."

"I told you that the fan is not called "a face" but it is called "a frame". Do you think Lao Lu is my biological child? On his birthday, he wants to say that he is an antique dealer, and he fans the face with me. Why do he always want to take advantage of me?

OK, just take it. When you got engaged to Xiaoli (Lu Fengxiang’s wife Liu Xiaoli), you also took me a frame of Liu Yong’s regular script fan. As for the fan, Liu Yong has few regular scripts and many regular scripts, and he has given you all regular scripts. It doesn’t matter if you run the script anymore, just take it.

In my villa, there are servants at home. I will call them later and explain, you can just go directly. Hey, then you are going to Shandong?"

"No, my dad said that this year I would like to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. My father-in-law came to Beijing, and I also arrived in Beijing in the afternoon."

"You're going to Beijing in the afternoon?" Lu Yuchi suddenly thought of a solution to Wan Qianxi's problem. He smiled and said, "You kid, your father-in-law is on his birthday, why don't you tell us?"

"Hey, I didn't think it was troublesome..."

"What's the point? They're all family. I'm in Beijing, and I'll go tomorrow. But that fan is more than 100,000 yuan, so I can't give it to you for nothing, right?"

"ah?"
