Chapter 1687: Chapter 826: Left Hand

"Sigh, he’s had a rough time as well."

Both Zhou Yun and Song Chi, they are merely actors.

If this drama doesn’t air, that being said, their fees have already been fully transferred to their respective accounts.

But, Seapool Film and Television is destined to suffer a huge loss.

Over 200 million in investment!

Zhou Yun thought about it and found it terrifying.

If her own studio fell into such a predicament, there really would be no way out.

Zhou Yun immediately popped into the small group where Yuk Chu, Wang Jing, Huang Zicheng, and Lu Zhongting were, and warned: Everyone, by all means, do not engage in any illegal activities. Everything else can be discussed, but once you do something like this, even with incredible capabilities, we won’t be able to save you.

After saying this, she found Yu Zhiyang wasn’t in the group chat, so she added Yu Zhiyang into the group and repeated the message.

Yuk Chu was the first to respond: ??? What’s going on? Why suddenly say something so serious?

Wang Jing followed: Sister Xiao Yun, did you see the news about Zhi Wei’s drug use?

Zhou Yun: Yes, sigh.

Huang Zicheng: Sister Xiao Yun, rest assured, Lu Zhongting and I absolutely won’t touch drugs, gambling, or prostitution.

Lu Zhongting: Mm-hmm.

Zhou Lan also chimed in: Xiao Yun is right, you all must be cautious, extremely cautious, no matter what, do not engage in such illegal activities. Even if we become the strongest in the country, we can’t save you! You are all our most cherished actors, take care!

With both Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan giving such earnest warnings, the others finally seemed to realize the seriousness, all expressing that they understood and wouldn’t do it.

After a while, Yu Zhiyang saw the message and sent an emoji: Understood.

...

Zhi Wei got in trouble, causing another upheaval in the domestic film industry.

He has been a much-noticed scriptwriter in recent years, recognized as exceptionally talented, and just became a hotshot among scriptwriters with "Laissez-faire."

Everyone has heard of this remarkable scriptwriter’s achievements and knows he has a unique personality. When all the film companies were reaching out to him for scripts, he went on a solo cruise vacation, making himself unreachable.

This kind of person got into trouble.

Everyone is talking about it.

He Yong was relieved he narrowly avoided disaster.

Because he had been in contact with Zhi Wei, wanting him to tailor a dual male lead script for Zhang Mo and Zhou Jianfeng.

Zhang Mo and Zhou Jianfeng are Chengqian Entertainment’s currently most popular male actors, but although they are almost first-tier, they haven’t fully secured their positions.

He Yong believed they needed another critically acclaimed blockbuster to firmly establish their first-tier status.

Zhi Wei never agreed to it.

Initially, He Yong was quite annoyed, thinking the scriptwriter was too difficult to handle. Now he feels extremely grateful, grateful that Zhi Wei didn’t agree; otherwise, even a deposit of a million would have been a huge loss.

At the same time, He Yong felt a bit schadenfreude.

Seapool Film and Television’s Chen Wenjun had been competing with him these past few days.

Whether it’s about celebrities or film production.

Now, with "Moon Sinking at Sea" leaving Chen Wenjun in a tough spot, He Yong felt a subtle joy in his heart.

Of course, when discussing the matter with others, he still said, "Sigh, no one in the film production industry would want to see such things happening because one person’s mistake causes hundreds of people’s efforts to go to waste. I really think it’s unreasonable."

In reality, he couldn’t care less about whether it’s reasonable or not, as long as it doesn’t happen to him, he’s indifferent.

...

The halting of "Laissez-faire" sequel didn’t significantly impact Song Chi’s company.

Wu Chengbao calculated that the costs incurred in the early preparations for the "Laissez-faire" sequel amounted to about three million, including the script deposit.

If they could recoup even a million from that in the end, it would be a blessing.

Wu Chengbao removed the "Laissez-faire" sequel plan from the company’s agenda, thus freeing up some funds.

Originally, about 60 million was intended for the production of this drama, and now there’s space freed up.

Wu Chengbao calculated and found they could just move "Idol Clone" up in the schedule.

However, "Idol Clone’s" production cost was originally not high, but since Zhou Yun was set to star, the film’s production needed to be more refined.

Wu Chengbao knew that with Zhou Yun starring in this film, part of the final control of the movie would likely have to go into Zhou Yun’s hands.
