Under Pei An's sneer.
The middle-aged man was obviously also stimulated.
He then scolded Pei An loudly and mercilessly.
"Yes, I, Pei An, am not a mainstream person. I, Pei An, do make money on my knees, but no matter how low I am, I still have to save face! If I knew from the beginning that the investors would stuff so much garbage into the crew to take the lead, even if they gave me 100 million, I, Pei An, would not take this job! Didn't you want me to give you an explanation? This is the explanation!
Pei An pointed at the handheld camera on the ground and said, "Either you recast the role and let me choose it through auditions, or you can do whatever you want. I can't direct this film anymore!"
"Who do you think you are? Others call you Director Pei, do you really think you are a famous director? You are the one who gets to choose the new cast, so if the investors withdraw their investment, you will have to make up for it? As for you wanting to quit, fine, I won't force you. I will do things according to the contract and pay the penalty. You can do whatever you want!" the middle-aged man said angrily. "Don't worry, I will pay the penalty!" Pei An said.
"It's not enough to just say I will give it to you. It's clearly written in black and white in the contract that it must be in place within fifteen days!" The middle-aged man said ruthlessly. "I, Pei An, was choked.
If he could easily pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in liquidated damages, he probably wouldn't have taken on such a film.
It is because he is so short of money that he has to lower his proud head to take on this kind of rubbish movie that he used to despise the most!
But what I didn't expect was that what was even worse than the script were those so-called actors who brought money into the crew. For Pei An, saying that those so-called actors were trash was really an insult to trash!
"Pei An, we have known each other for a while. I know everything about you. Don't hold your head high anymore. You don't have the capital and ability to be arrogant, understand? How many people have you offended in the circle? Don't you know? You are almost the same as being banned by the industry. It's just that the investors don't have high requirements for this film, so we only ask you to direct it out of pity. Otherwise, do you think it will be your turn? We don't ask you to be grateful. You just need to do your job well. Put away your ridiculous ambitions. In this era, it's not shameful to make money on your knees. What's shameful is to be so poor that you only have pride left!"
Seeing Pei An being choked.
The middle-aged man sneered and shook his head.
But at this moment.
An inopportune fluttering sound came from behind him.
"How much is the penalty for breach of contract? I'll help him pay it!
Not someone else.
It's Ye Chen!
He had already noticed the other party when Pei An first made that crazy and angry sound.
Then the camera was smashed, followed by the arrival of the middle-aged man, and finally this moment.
He watched the whole process.
Including every word of conversation between Pei An and the middle-aged man, he
Of course.
These are not the reasons why he stood up!
After all, no matter how rich he is, he can never play the role of a saint who helps the world!
The reason why he stood up was because the other person was called Pei An! A man who would become famous all over the world, win so many awards, and personally bring Chinese-language films into the world film industry, and establish himself there and shine!
Perhaps, at present, only a handful of people know the name Pei An, because just as the middle-aged man said, Pei An's current status is no different from being banned by the industry...
Therefore, for Pei An at present, if he jumps out of the circle, no one will recognize him at all.
but.
Three or four years later, this name became a sensation and became unstoppable, eventually becoming one of the top names in the Chinese film industry... Not only in the Chinese film industry, but even in the world film industry, Pei An is an influential figure!
It is precisely because of Pei An's counterattack that Chinese-language films have a place in the world film scene and have entered the mainstream sequence of the world film scene. Even though Chinese-language films do not account for too much of the mainstream film scene, in terms of cultural output and cultural confidence, they have reached an unprecedented level!
Pei An, this is a name that goes down in history.
Even when he was still alive in his previous life, his name had already been written into various textbooks!
He single-handedly carries the entire Chinese-language film industry on his shoulders and has brought countless honors to China... To be honest, when Ye Chen first saw him, he was really scared!
For him, he might not care much about Pei An's honors and achievements.
But Pei An broke the box office records and created box office myths one after another, which made him have to care!
The cost was 300 million, and the domestic box office was 6.3 billion.
Cost of 500 million, domestic box office 7.8 billion.
With a cost of 1 billion, the domestic box office exceeded 10 billion.
In the overseas market, these domestic films have achieved incredible global box office figures on foreign big screens!
In his previous life, Pei An opened up a crazy era of his own!
Just because the top ten domestic box office movies were all directed by him, Pei An, and even the screenwriters were all him, Pei An!
This is an almost omnipotent genius, so omnipotent that the outside world has no idea where he gets so much time to allocate, because he even dabbles in film soundtracks that convey emotions. Not only that, but the film soundtracks he produced are also popular all over the world and have been cited countless times...
In addition to Chinese-language films, Pei An, who was later invited to direct Hollywood films, conquered countless discerning movie fans and became the first Chinese director to appear on the cover of Time magazine, as well as the first Asian director to appear on the cover of Time magazine!
Of course, these are all later stories, so let's not talk about them for now. It just so happens that this legend in the previous life happened.
Seeing the other party in such a miserable state.
To be honest, during those dazed moments, Ye Chen could hardly believe it!
After confirming again and again that he had not recognized the wrong person.
Only then did he stand up and speak out about the penalty for breach of contract.
However, facing his light words.
Whether it was the middle-aged man or Pei An, they all turned their heads to look. "You, are you Ye Chen?"
"Are you Mr. Ye?"
After seeing that the person who spoke was Ye Chen.
The two were dumbfounded.
It is very difficult not to know this god-level "upstart" who is so popular on the entire Internet now.
"It seems that I am quite well-known! Haha, let's talk business first. How much is the penalty for breach of contract for Director Pei? I will pay it for him!"
Just laugh it off.
Ye Chen looked at the middle-aged man and asked seriously.
"No, Mr. Ye, excuse me for asking, what is your relationship with Director Pei An?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
At the same time, some small thoughts also arose.
If I could find such a big sponsor for the company, then...
"It doesn't matter. We have never met before. This is the first time we meet!" Ye Chen smiled faintly.
