"Without Ye Wudao, my movie can't start filming, no matter how much you guys push, it's useless," Wang Zhong said emphatically to the investors while puffing on a cigar in a meeting room.
"The Ye Wudao you're talking about isn't even an actor, and nobody has ever heard of him. There are so many great actors in the industry, including award-winning ones and popular young stars. Can't any of them do the job?" one investor said helplessly.
"No, they can't meet the refined standards I have in mind; otherwise, why would I specifically demand him?"
Wang Zhong was very stubborn, declaring that if Ye Wudao wasn't involved, he would rather not shoot the film at all, which was causing the investors endless headaches.
Moreover, Wang Zhong was notoriously difficult to work with, but there was no alternative, as he was a top director. Without him, who would dare to invest the 750 million? Without Wang Zhong's clout, the movie would certainly flop.
