The lighting technician chuckled slyly, "Boss Li ntioned a few days ago there’s a girl group competition coming up, and there’s a promising young girl in it..."
The assistant director frowned, his expression darkening.
If they really sent her an invitation, what would he beco, a pimping mada?
"Don’t entertain that idea. I won’t do such things!"
Seeing the assistant director’s sour face, the lighting technician smacked his lips, "Isn’t this the only way? I don’t want to be the bad guy either."
Now the assistant director was irritated just by seeing him, and waved his hand, "Go back to your lighting."
The lighting technician pouted and mumbled as he ran off.
After sending him off, the assistant director looked at the remaining people, "Co up with so legitimate ideas, don’t give these rotten ones."
So people actually thought the lighting technician had a good idea, but seeing the assistant director’s anger, none of them dared to speak up.
The think tank racked their brains, the floor littered with cigarette butts, but no one ca up with a good solution.
Perhaps it was because the lighting technician’s "miserable defeat" not only angered the assistant director but also instilled fear of a similar fate, leading to their choice of silence.
The assistant director found them all unreliable, threw away the empty cigarette box, "I just want to produce a proper show, why are there so many ssy things in the way!"
The prop master sighed, "I really think replacing the investor is the most fundantal solution. Boss Li is unreliable. Today it’s Jiang Jingjing, tomorrow it could be Li Jingjing. Whoever he wants to promote, he will. Our show can’t just follow his whims. Do we change guests in the later stages too? Jiang Jingjing is restless, who knows how long she’ll stick with Boss Li? A week, a month, or six months? If they fall out, Boss Li will definitely order us to change the person."
The more the assistant director listened, the more his brows furrowed, until they almost knotted.
It made too much sense!
That Li is just an old lecher, how long before he gets tired of her?
In the later stages of the show, if he tires of Jiang Jingjing, will he let her stay on the show?
Once he has a new favorite, he’ll definitely try to stuff them into the show.
With Jiang Jingjing successfully squeezed into the show as a precedent, if he disagrees later, Boss Li will still threaten with pulling investnt.
The assistant director rubbed his forehead, his head aching, deeply regretting the lack of boundaries in his earlier actions. Once these unspoken rules are breached, it starts a bad precedent, making it even harder to uphold them later. Investors would repeatedly use the threat of pulling funding, and he could only retreat again and again.
If he had firmly refused from the start, maybe Boss Li wouldn’t withdraw his investnt. Even if he did, any future investors would be well-inford, knowing previous investors had left due to forcing talents, and would definitely think twice, not easily suggesting talent placent or using withdrawal threats.
"Got any cigarettes?" the assistant director asked the assistant director.
The assistant director pulled out an empty cigarette box.
The think tank mbers all reached for their cigarette boxes.
All empty!
They looked down at the floor, littered with cigarette butts.
The director held his forehead, "Get soone to clean this place up, I’m going to find a new investor."
This startled everyone, not expecting the director to make such a decision.
The assistant director hesitated, "If Boss Li pulls out his investnt..."
The director waved his hand, interrupting him, "If we can’t find a new investor, I’ll sell my house and fund it myself!"
The director finally realized, why let others lead his show by the nose? Investing himself, he could shoot it however he wanted, and no one could interfere!
