Chapter 962: Youre Not Giving Us Face

Tan Jinqi raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips. Director Luo, weve already signed a contract with Guo Saisai. We cant break the contract.

Were not like you, able to get rid of people after theyd already signed a contract and joined the group.

Perhaps because it made sense, Luo Xuzhang did not get the satire behind Tan Jinqis words.

He even said to Tan Jinqi, Director Tan, I wont make things difficult for you. Guo Pai will be responsible for the liquidated damages. I just hope that you can show Guo Pai some deference and not work with Guo Saisai in future.

Why do I need to show deference to Guo Pai? Tan Jinqi shot back.

What? Luo Xuzhang was dumbfounded by Tan Jinqis question.

He really didnt expect that someone could be so rude to him.

As one of the top three broadcasting platforms in Hua Empire, no artiste dared to offend Guo Pai.

Whether it was the economic companies or the artistes themselves, they had to treat him with courtesy.

Anyway, after he became the President of Guo Pai, he had never met anyone with an att.i.tude like Tan Jinqi.

My drama doesnt have Guo Pais investment. We have no involvement with each other. I dont need to take Guo Pai into consideration when doing things, Tan Jinqi said, So, the matter between Guo Pai and Guo Saisai has nothing to do with me. My drama will be prepared according to the original plan. We cant mess up our own schedule because of these things.

Luo Xuzhang held back his anger. Now that Tan Jinqi was famous, he had to watch himself and not show any hostility.

He couldnt change his att.i.tude towards Tan Jinqi unless a certain line was crossed.

To put it bluntly, artistes did not dare to offend the platform because they were afraid that no roles would be given to them.

But at the same time, the platform could not do as it pleased.

They also had to build a good relations.h.i.+p with the artistes.

After all, the platform needed to be maintained by its work.

Even more so than artistes, they needed good directors and scriptwriters.

These people were essential to the success of the platforms work.

They also wanted to secure a chance to collaborate with Tan Jinqi.

They couldnt just watch as Kefeng Films surpa.s.sed Guo Pai and Peanut and had the momentum of monopolizing an echelon.

Director Tan, we will not only be responsible for the liquidated damages, but will also give you a few movie contracts, Luo Xuzhang said. In exchange, you will cancel the collaboration with Guo Saisai.

Director Luo, I think you have misunderstood, Tan Jinqi said. You said that you would help pay the liquidated damages, but this isnt a form of help as this is Guo Pais responsibility in the first place.

I wont cancel the collaboration with Guo Saisai, let alone pay the liquidated damages. I didnt originally have these problems; they were introduced by you. As long as I dont do as you say, I wont have these troubles.

In addition, as for giving me a few movies to shoot, I think your misunderstanding is even greater. I dont lack movies right now. Apart from Broken Continent, the scripts I receive every day are enough to fill my mailbox. I have so many scripts to choose from. I dont need to accept your charity; its as though thats the only way I will have movies to shoot.

I havent accepted any other scripts for the time being because my energy is currently focused on Broken Continent, Tan Jinqi said, And I believe that as long as my standards are maintained, there will be no shortage of scripts. With my current situation, as long as I spread the word that I want to shoot scripts outside of Broken Continent, there will be plenty of companies who will approach me with scripts.

Theres no need to scam an innocent actress just for a few scripts from Guo Pai, Tan Jinqi said coldly, Although I didnt pay too much attention to this matter, I saw the goings-on from start to finish. Guo Saisai did nothing wrong, so I have no reason to replace her.

As for Yuan Keqing, I dont care about others, but as long as its my show, I wont use her. Of course, I wont force or personally persuade others not to use her, or offer any conditions in exchange for not using her, Tan Jinqi said, However, if a friend shares the same outlook as me and doesnt want to use her, Im quite happy to have such a friend.

Luo Xuzhang didnt expect Tan Jinqi to be so disrespectful.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something to preserve his dignity, but Tan Jinqi continued, In the future, if Guo Pai has any script that they want me to shoot, they are welcome to send it to me. I will decide whether it is suitable or not.

In other words, it was up to Tan Jinqi to make the decision on whether or not to take it on.

If you want me to shoot your show, then come and beg me.

But even if you do so, I have to read the script before deciding.

It was all up to Tan Jinqi to initiate and make the choices.

Luo Xuzhang could stop using that condescending att.i.tude to further speak to him.

It was as if Tan Jinqi still needed to rely on conditions to get a job.

When he was initially preparing for Broken Continent, he did not have any credentials, so no one trusted his ability.

But even then, he did not think of using conditions to get a job.

He knew that this was the confidence that the Tan family and the Wei family had given him.

But so what?

He had such confidence back then, not to mention now.

Luo Xuzhang never thought that he would be humiliated by this phone call.

Because Guo Pai was such a big platform, everyone treated him with respect.

But Tan Jinqi didnt do so at all.

Okay, I got it. Luo Xuzhang said coldly and hung up the phone.

Tan Jinqi hung up. Tan Mo said with a smile, Director Luo should be going to look for Kefeng Films.

But no one cared.

It would be strange if Kefeng Films agreed.

Kefeng films belonged to the Weifeng Company.

Tan Mo was obviously targeting Yuan Keqing, so Xu Das.h.i.+ wouldnt go against Tan Mo.

However, Wei Zhiqian still gave Xu Das.h.i.+ a call.

He told him, If Luo Xuzhang from Guo Pai looks for you to pressure Jinqi to cancel the collaboration with Guo Saisai, you can just refuse. My fiance has already promised Guo Saisai that she will work with her in the future. She will also introduce other film crews to her and help set her up with Kefeng Films. So in the future, as long as Guo Saisai doesnt act like a diva and Kefeng Films has films, we will consider Guo Saisai. Of course, were not obliged to take her on; itll still be based on suitability. Shell only be considered as a co-actress.

Wei Zhiqian naturally couldnt appear as though he was dedicated only to helping Tan Mo.

He was only having a word with Xu Das.h.i.+ about adding Guo Saisai to Kefeng Films co-actress list.

Yes, Xu Das.h.i.+ agreed. He thought to himself, isnt your fiance Tan Mo?

He could have just said Tan Mo directly, but he had to say my fiance.

He wasnt tired of this.

After hanging up the phone, he didnt care whether Luo Xuzhang would contact him or not. He called the management team directly and conveyed Wei Zhiqians words to them so that they would know what to do.

Then, he asked his a.s.sistant to send an email to all the departments.

Is he going to go against Guo Pai? Manager Gao of the production department said in surprise.
