However, that very night, the hotel manager knocked on Park Eun-si’s door, smiling and said, "Ladies and gentlen, the advance paynt for your stay in our hotel is no longer sufficient."
"What?"
Park Eun-si and his agent were taken aback upon hearing this, "How is this possible? Hasn’t Qianqiu Group already booked the entire hotel?"
"Hehe, they indeed booked it, but it’s not possible for them to pay for you indefinitely. The remaining charges will still need to be covered by you," the hotel manager said with a smile.
"Damn it!"
Park Eun-si and his agent instantly understood and were both extrely angry.
"It must be because our collaboration fell through that he just pulled the funding! These people are really unscrupulous."
The agent was even more confrontational with the hotel manager, "Hmph, we don’t have any money. If you want money, go ask Qianqiu Group! They are the ones who booked this hotel."
"So you don’t want to pay?" the hotel manager’s expression turned cold imdiately upon hearing these words.
Ever since these South Koreans checked into the hotel, each of them acting so arrogantly, he had long found them disagreeable.
Seizing the opportunity, he gestured and several security guards swiftly entered the room.
"If you do not wish to pay and want to squat here for free, then don’t bla us for being impolite. Please escort these guests out," he ordered.
Seeing that the hotel manager was actually going to throw them out, Park Eun-si and his agent panicked imdiately. Where would they stay if they were thrown out?
"Let’s talk this over nicely, we’re not saying that we won’t pay!" Park Eun-si said hastily, "Wait here, I will get you the money right away."
However, at that mont, his agent leaned in and whispered, "Eun-si, I thought that Qianqiu Group would cover all our expenses this ti. Hence, I didn’t bring much money."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Park Eun-si was furious, running out of money already! But he had no choice and could only dean himself and say to the hotel manager, "Well, sorry, we can’t pay right now, wait a mont."
"Hmph. I don’t think you dares to pull any stunts," the hotel manager, not wanting to push too hard, waved his hand and left with the security guards.
"Qianqiu Group is despicable! There’s a saying ’business is business, and personal is personal.’ The deal failed, and that’s that, but I didn’t expect them to treat us like this," Park Eun-si raged as soon as the hotel manager and his people left.
"These lowly Huaxia people are so petty, hmph, we must spread this far and wide and let everyone know the true face of Qianqiu Entertainnt," the agent said coldly.
Both harbored resentnt toward Qianqiu Group.
Subsequently, the agent made phone calls, got so money from South Korea, and settled the hotel expenses.
Afterward, she and Park Eun-si began planning a press conference to attack Qianqiu Entertainnt and tarnish their reputation.
"Hmph, there are plenty of brain-dead fans in Huaxia! Cry a little, and we can make Qianqiu Entertainnt look totally disgraceful," said Park Eun-si’s agent with a sneer.
...
The next day, Xiao Zheng held a eting at Qianqiu Entertainnt. Chu Xiaoran, Ah Bai, Mu Yiqing, Wen Cheng, and everyone else were present.
"I’ve decided not to use Park Eun-si anymore," Xiao Zheng said straightforwardly as the eting began.
"What?"
Apart from Ah Bai, everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
Mr. Xiao said, "Park Eun-si ca to our Huaxia not to make a film, but simply to make a quick buck. Hmph, how can such a person produce a good film?"
Everyone understood Mr. Xiao’s status in Qianqiu Entertainnt, which was weighty like the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, seeing Mr. Xiao so resolute, no one objected.
"But since we are giving up on Park Eun-si, who should we choose for the next male lead?" Mu Yiqing asked with a slight frown of her beautiful brows.
"Ma Hulai."
Mr. Xiao uttered these three words.
"Ma Hulai? But... although he acts well, he’s not famous at all."
"Indeed, his fa is too low. If we choose him, won’t the risk be too great?"
"Choosing Ma Hulai, the board will definitely oppose vehently as well."
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples; everyone was shocked when they heard this na and expressed their opposition.
Only Wen Cheng showed a hint of pleasure on his face, but he didn’t say much either.
"Silence."
Mr. Xiao pressed his hand down slightly.
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking, each falling silent, watching Mr. Xiao, waiting for his explanation.
Although Ma Hulai was a skilled actor and had even won so international awards, compared to the little fresh at at ho, he couldn’t match them; he brought too little traffic and simply wasn’t profitable.
"After this incident with Park Eun-si, I’ve had deep reflections," Mr. Xiao looked at everyone and spoke calmly, "If we keep employing these so-called traffic stars, traffic actors, what kind of good film can we make? They have everything except acting skills!"
"Not having acting skills is one thing, after all, they can still be nurtured. But every single one of them doesn’t have their heart in filmmaking, so what’s there to talk about honing their acting skills? Take Park Eun-si as an example, aside from the contract with us, he actually had another one in South Korea! This has crossed my line of tolerance, it’s unacceptable."
"The other little fresh at actors are more or less the sa. Each one of them has a slick appearance, relying on a bunch of female idiots for support, each one arrogant to the skies, only caring about making money, completely neglecting their primary jobs."
"What good are they?"
"The motto of Qianqiu Group is to produce high-quality films. With these people, it’s simply impossible to make such films!"
"Well said." Wen Cheng, hearing these words, beca excited for the first ti, "This so-called little fresh at is the bane of the movie market! To be honest, every ti one of my films gets one of these people shoved into it, it feels as distasteful as eating shit.
Mr. Xiao having such insight is not in vain for signing with Qianqiu Entertainnt at all costs."
"But how do we explain to the board? And without a traffic star, this film is basically without guarantee. What if it fails?"
The others were considering the issue in a more practical way.
After all, this was a big project, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions at stake, the consequences of a loss would be extrely grave!
"To achieve great things, one cannot be indecisive," Mr. Xiao’s eyes flashed with determination, "I refuse to believe that the audience of this generation are all fools, unable to distinguish good from bad."
