Chapter 175 The Big Investor Said: Resign And Leave The Crew (2)
The power of the man who single-handedly owned YH Group was too terrifying. Once he pulls out of investing from any film, all the investors who heard of this would follow him and also pull out and the future of the film would be casted with a dark shadow that might never see the light ever again.
With this kind of domino effect, nobody wanted to offend YH Group but they still wanted and desired their powerful support.
Director Zheng woke up from his dream when he heard Chief Producer Li\'s words. He frowned deeply, but he didn\'t say anything.
He came forward and was about to greet the other in a more friendly way taking into account that they shared some bond as friends. He didn\'t believe that Song Yu Han came here because of what they did to Ran Xueyi.
To Director Zheng, Ran Xueyi must have been one of the many others that Song Yu Han secretly took interest in as a plaything. He surely wouldn\'t protect her just because she has a pretty face and forget about their friendship, right?
He was about to come forward with a fawning smile and approached the other in front of everyone, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by Song Yu Han.
"I don\'t dare accept Director Zheng\'s greetings." Song Yu Han already saw his intention even before Director Zheng could even finish thinking about greeting him. "I only came here to say a few things."
"First, my investment in the film was solely due to the fact that I found the script and original novel has a big potential to achieve many achievements in this year and the following years. The original author of the novel is someone I know which also reinforced my decision to invest."
"However, now that the script was changed without consulting the original writer of the novel and me, the investor of the film, I will have to ask Mr. Chun to resign from his position as the scriptwriter and leave the crew."
Scriptwriter Chun never thought that he would be the first to be called out. He already had a bad feeling when he heard that the man who suddenly appeared in front of them was the main investor of the film and he even came together with Chief Producer Li.
He just never expected that he would be the first to go.
Previously, he also wanted to ask Ran Xueyi to leave the crew but before he could say it, Director Zheng already took the step first and said these words.
Song Yu Han sensed his unwillingness and sneered, "Does Scriptwriter Chun still have something to say to me?"
Scriptwriter Chun stared at him.
Song Yu Han raised an eyebrow. "Changing, deleting, and adding scenes is the scriptwriter\'s responsibility. However, a scriptwriter must have the overall situation and success of the entire film in mind before taking any actions. From what I saw, not only did you not take into your heart the welfare and prosperity of the entire crew, you selfishly took benefits from other people."
"And you still wanted to say something?"
The scriptwriter of any play showing in the TV screens isn\'t only there to write the script. They were there to ensure that the potential of movies, dramas, or shows increased through their masterful weaving of the plots, dialogues, and narrative directions of any films.
Scriptwriter Chun ignored all of these and was swallowed up by his greed.
Scriptwriter really had something to say. He bit his lips and bravely said, "If I leave, who will write the script? If President Song wants the original script, I can still do it."
Scriptwriter Chun still thought that he could save himself.
Unfortunately, he encountered the living devil that many cannot afford to offen and still think they would be forgiven.
Song Yu Han coldly stared at him as he said, "Don\'t worry about the script. I can easily find a better scriptwriter who will follow the mission of a true scriptwriter and never deviate from their purpose."
When Scriptwriter Chun heard this, he finally understood that there was no way to save himself, and there was a sense of panic inside his heart.
He knew that what Song Yu Han said was right. He wasn\'t the only scriptwriter who could write a script in this world. He could really \'easily\' find one.
Scriptwriter Chun, though he was reluctant, could only take his leave and turn to the door.
He left without looking back.
When Director Zheng saw this, his back was already soaked with sweat. Even Gu Jiao and her manager, Albert, who was keeping his silence the whole time while observing Song Yu Han, felt choked up and terrified at the display of dominance that Song Yu Han showed in front of their eyes.
Director Zheng knew in his heart that he made a big mistake, but he still wanted to take a chance and use their relationship as friends as a leverage in this situation.
He knew Song Yu Han and knew that the latter treasured his relationship with his friends. He would help when his friends were in trouble. Director Zheng even heard from some of the close friends around Song Yu Han that he met in one party that Song Yu Han helped a friend from being persecuted by the government in Autumn Country.
Surely, Song Yu Han would overlook his small mistake, right?
However, in the next second, before Director Zheng could say anything, he heard Song Yu Han speak.
"The second thing is for Director Zheng to give up his position as the director of the film. He allowed just anyone to change the direction of the film, allowed an actor to modify and add scenes, and let the previous Scriptwriter Chun to run amok in the crew. He lacked the leadership that should be found from a director. Therefore, he will no longer direct and stay with the crew during the filming."
"As for who will direct the film in his absence... I trust Chief Producer Luo to find someone who has the ability to lead the entire crew. If there\'s no one like that, I can also look for one."
Then, Song Yu Han served the last strike towards Director Zheng as he added, "The world is too big. Certainly, a good director can be found just anywhere if I look around."
Director Zheng did not even get to say a word, and he was already fired from his position as the director and was even mocked by the others. If Song Yu Han really could find a good director just anywhere like he said, does he, Director Zheng, even have to keep being a director and open the path for these directors who could be found anywhere?
Earlier, Director Zheng scolded Ran Xueyi to get out of the crew by herself. But not even thirty minutes had passed, and he got fired from his job.
Suddenly, he couldn\'t help but think that what happened to him was all because he tried to block Ran Xueyi. However, he, himself, shut these thoughts down. Song Yu Han was not like any ordinary man who could be swayed by a femme fatale. He had countless women who would kneel and bow at his every word, but ignored all of them. So how was it possible that he would go as far as to do this just for Ran Xueyi, an actress who already lost her fame six years ago?
Ran Xueyi, who has been silent and watching this scene, couldn\'t help but turn her gaze to look at Song Yu Han. She had a feeling that Director Zheng\'s ending wouldn\'t be so light like Scriptwriter Chun even though he said that he would only fire Director Zheng from his job.
However, this was just her thoughts and there was no way to tell if this was really the case.
Either way, Ran Xueyi didn\'t care.
At this point, what she really cared about was that she got to see Song Yu Han again.
