Chapter 234: Who is Complaining?

Everyone online is talking about how Journey Films Company is played. Now, everyone is waiting for the show to go live and is eager to see how it goes.

If it turns out to be very popular, then the Journey Films Company will be a laughing stock for centuries to come.

The assistant grumbled as he tried to contact Director Liu.

But, not long after, he came back with his phone.

“Master Yao,” the assistant muttered, “Director Liu turned down our investment.”

“What?” Master Yao stood up immediately. “Since when did Liu Runlin become so tough and stubborn?”

“Did he really think that just because he had received the investment from the Tan Yue Group this time, he would die? Sure, the Tan Yue Group will invest this time, but what about the next time? Who will he find later? Shouldn't he have to crawl back to us?” Master Yao said, as his blood began to boil.

“What Director Liu said was that the Tan Yue Group had invested in making the part we were pulling. Even if we invest again, it will be a waste of money. There is no other place for us to invest anymore. The entire production is at its peak. If we invest, costs will go up and profits will go down. We will get less, so it will be our loss, ” said the assistant.

“Also, we can't expect him to reject the investment made by Tan Yue.” Group The assistant did not dare to repeat to him what Director Liu actually said.

What Director Liu initially said was that the Tan Yue Group was the one who offered me fuel in the cold weather, he said, and now you expect me to turn down this investment just because the Journey Films Company came crawling back?

Liu Runlin will not bite the hand that feeds her. He's not the ungrateful type.

If he was, he would have gotten rid of Tan Mo centuries ago.

But Tan Mo has helped him out of one of his biggest problems in his most terrifying moments. If it wasn't for him, maybe this production wouldn't have happened at all.

That was why it was impossible for him to get rid of it for just a few investments.

Now, there is clearly no way I will refuse the investment from the Tan Yue Group and use yours.

It was your decision. There is no such luxury as being able to attract or invest whenever you want.

The assistant knew how fiery his boss' anger was, so he did not dare to repeat exactly everything Director Liu said.

But at the same time they were quite curious about Director Liu and his attitude towards their company. He was hard and did not hold back. Does this mean he will not consider working with Journey Films Company in the future?

When Director Liu was talking to Master Yao's assistant, Tan Jinqi was also around.

Director Liu had no reason to say any of this directly in front of Tan Jinqi.

But the fact that he had said it in front of him, it still had an impact.

“Director Liu, by talking to them like this, does this mean your cooperation with Journey Films Company is over?” Ask Tan Jinqi.

Director Liu was honest in answering. “I more or less understand Mr. Yao's assistant. He would pay attention to their words when he reported back to Master Yao. The assistant knows his way around things and likes to leave things on good footing to leave room for further development in the future."

“But then, even if he tells Mr. Yao exactly what I said, it doesn't matter. Let us not even talk about other industries, but only in our own industry, everyone cares is profit and benefit. When you benefit, you will have friends around. But once you become useless, all your friends will start looking for other targets. Once your reputation hits rock bottom, you will lose friends completely. But if you get it back, then your friends will appear from everywhere. That's why I just need to keep working hard and filming my product. If I succeed, then Mr. Yao will have to find me myself to invest."

“But if I only have one series that fails, he will not invest in me again, no matter how close our relationship.” It seemed like Director Liu had thought about this very well.

“Of course, you will still have friends. Like Director Hou, he was one of my few good friends. If we don't have your family right now, he'll still invest. As his student, you are really lucky. You don't really find a lot of people who will work hard for their students. He has nothing to photograph at the moment, so he recommended you to me. He even came to visit just to praise you. That says a lot.”

Tan Jinqi nodded. “I understand.”

Soon the gossip about this died down online. There are still some internal issues to be resolved.

Who exactly is in the group that leaked all the details about this production?

“OK, this whole issue has spread online, but not to us internally.” Director Liu pulled his assistant and Tan Jinqi for a brief meeting that night after work.

Director Hou had left the day after he arrived. He was just planning to stay a while.

She had basically only come for Tan Jinqi, to show her support.

Once he does that, he can leave.

“I want to know who spread this gossip about us? This guy better clean up now!” Director Liu shouted.

“This time is really messed up. The details are too specific. Sure, nothing important was leaked this time, but what if some important internal affairs were leaked next time? For example, costumes, drawings, lines, and even the entire script can leak. What's the point of making a movie? The audience will know everything beforehand,” Director Liu said solemnly.

“This production is huge. There are a lot of actors and not everyone fits in well with everyone else. If the quarrel starts and leaks out, it will be negative news for us,” Tan Jinqi said. “No matter what kind of report will be there, it will not benefit us at all.”

“Jinqi is completely correct.” Director Liu nodded.

Ever since the Tan Yue Group became their biggest investor, Director Liu started getting closer to Tan Jinqi.

“But how can we find out who is complaining?” The assistant scratched his head. “There are so many people here. I don't even remember who everyone is. There are also technical people in charge of many things like props and sets. There are too many people who can find out who leaked that story.”

Tan Jinqi thought about it and said, “I don't think it has anything to do with a small group.”

Director Liu raised his eyebrows. “Continue speaking.”

“I'm not sure if my analysis is correct, but listen to me,” Tan Jinqi said humbly.

Director Liu nodded.

“This is what I was thinking. If it were just paparazzi or some other outsider, the details would never be so accurate. Most of them were just second-guessing things they saw from a distance, so the news and rumors they were spreading were usually not true."

“In addition, most people on set are from the outside and don't know too much about internal affairs,” Tan Jinqi said while analyzing the situation. “So the main problem is, can outsiders know this much about us?"

“Some of the supporting cast and actors don't even know who the scriptwriter is. They only receive a few pages at a time, and we only tell which person to film a few days in advance.”

There are many different groups of actors around this big series, as well as many outside companies contracted to perform certain tasks, such as supplying food, for example.
