Chapter 36: Action Director Cowardly Backs Down, Princess Taiping Chen Hong Calls! [Data Needed]
Gu Xuan Zhao considered himself a long-established figure!
He had countless classic works to his name!
But there was a fatal flaw!
He was from Hong Kong, and the Liu family could easily ruin him there.
Offending Liu Wei essentially meant the end of his career as an action director in Hong Kong films!
Not to mention, the action director teams for mainland films were mostly from Hong Kong film crews!
Liu Wei’s words were like striking a snake at its vitals!
Without other teams’ cooperation, he couldn’t really play!
“Director Chen, I’m feeling unwell, I’m afraid I can’t be the action director for The Descending Taoist Priest for now, please understand.”
Gu Xuan Zhao reacted quickly!
He immediately cowered and admitted defeat.
He chose to withdraw from The Descending Taoist Priest crew directly!
He had to do this for his future career.
Chen Kai Ge, although famous, had no influence in the Hong Kong film industry!
More importantly, he produced very little, only one film every two years, relying on him, he would starve!
“You’ve already taken the money!”
Chen Kai Ge’s face immediately turned dark.
Gu Xuan Zhao was a member of the Yuen Wo Ping Team, a disciple of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, he was a general in the Yuen Wo Ping team!
He was also a big figure in the Hong Kong action director circle!
But he was so afraid of Liu Wei, this was beyond Chen Kai Ge’s expectations.
“Director Chen, please understand, I have my elders above me, and my children below me, a whole family depends on me for food, I can’t afford to offend Young Master Wei.”
Gu Xuan Zhao said, “I’ll return my salary, and I’ll also pay compensation, please hire another action director.”
“You did well, I’ll tell Big Brother Yuen.”
Chen Kai Ge said coldly.
“Director Chen, remember to follow the rules when borrowing my people in the future.”
After finishing, Liu Wei called Xie Miao, then left with Yang Mi.
…
Clang!
As soon as they left, Chen Kai Ge completely exploded, directly smashing the porcelain props used for filming onto the ground!
The porcelain shattered instantly, scattering all over the ground.
“Director Chen, we’re a fantasy adventure movie, with a lot of action scenes, Gu Xuan Zhao has withdrawn, we have to find someone to fill in!”
The assistant director said.
“Who does Liu Wei think he is? Just because he has a good father, he really thinks he can make all action director teams in Hong Kong refuse to work with us? I’ll call Big Brother Yuen, let him send someone over.”
Chen Kai Ge said.
Chen Kai Ge was arrogant and self-centered, being humiliated by Liu Wei like this, he had already held a fire in his heart, but he was at fault, Liu Wei wouldn’t let up, making him very uncomfortable.
The phone call was quickly connected.
“Old Man Yuen, I ran into trouble…”
Chen Kai Ge told him the story, without embellishment, after all, there were so many people watching, lying would be slapping himself in the face.
“Ah Wei is very easy to talk to, he doesn’t make unreasonable demands, when Big Brother Liu made his fortune many years ago, he never acted like a big shot when filming, you must have offended him this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have blown up.”
Yuen Wo Ping said.
“I’m a senior after all, he was too disrespectful to me.”
Chen Kai Ge said.
“He respects you, you’re a senior, he doesn’t respect you, you’re nothing.”
Yuen Wo Ping said.
“…”
Chen Kai Ge was speechless.
“There are many artists who benefited from his father in the past, I was one of them, now you’re having such a big conflict with Ah Wei, if I send someone over, it’s like not giving Ah Wei face, not giving him face means slapping Big Brother Liu in the face, do you understand?”
Yuen Wo Ping said.
“So, you won’t send anyone over?”
Chen Kai Ge’s heart sank.
Yuen Wo Ping was the face of the action director teams in Hong Kong, if he didn’t come, the Sammo Hung Team, the Jackie Chan Team, wouldn’t be expected either, they were all in the same boat.
Now he somewhat understood why Gu Xuan Zhao backed down so quickly!
“Go look in South Korea, they’ve been learning from us for years, they have their own outstanding figures, maybe their action design is even better, don’t bother with the Hong Kong crew, no one will accept it.”
After finishing, Yuen Wo Ping hung up.
“Director Chen, what did Big Brother Yuen say?”
The assistant director said.
“We’ll go to South Korea and find someone.”
Chen Kai Ge was extremely frustrated, he didn’t expect Liu Wei to be so strong.
His father’s influence in Hong Kong was so great!
…
Hotel.
Wang Baoqiang’s room.
“What, Director Chen Kai Ge got slapped in the face by Liu Wei?”
Wang Baoqiang looked at his assistant in shock.
He didn’t have any scenes today, so he took a break and didn’t go to the set.
“Yeah, he got slapped in the face!”
The assistant said, “Liu Wei used to only act in romance dramas, I didn’t expect him to be so powerful, now he’s making movies, so many people are giving him face.”
“You don’t know this, when I went to Hong Kong back then, I already knew Liu Wei’s family was not simple, he’s not arrogant or domineering either, this time they fell out, it must be Director Chen who did something excessive.”
Wang Baoqiang said.
…
Aaron Kwok’s room.
“Brother Cheng, should we pretend we don’t know?”
The assistant said to Aaron Kwok, who was also resting today.
“What does it have to do with us? We’re not involved, we’re getting paid to act, the crew conflicts are none of our business.”
Aaron Kwok said.
“There are still a lot of action scenes later, if it gets delayed, it might affect the progress.”
The assistant said.
“Don’t worry, we can’t rely on the action director teams in Hong Kong, they must go to South Korea to invite someone, we don’t have to pay anyway, just wait.”
Aaron Kwok said.
…
Lin Chi-ling’s room.
“Sister, you didn’t go to the set today, you don’t know how powerful Liu Wei is, that’s Chen Kai Ge, he doesn’t give face when he says he doesn’t! He’s so tough, he’s so domineering when he’s protecting someone, he made Chen Kai Ge speechless.”
The little assistant was enjoying the drama.
“I thought this second-generation was indifferent to the world, otherwise he wouldn’t have been stuck on the small screen for so long, now he’s breaking into the big screen, he’s so tough, it’s a pity, I wasn’t there at the scene.”
Lin Chi-ling said regretfully.
“Sister, the progress will probably be delayed.”
The little assistant said.
“Delay it then, our scenes are almost finished, we can wait.”
Lin Chi-ling said.
…
While Chen Kai Ge and his wife were looking for a replacement team for Gu Xuan Zhao, Liu Wei and Yang Mi, along with Xie Miao, had already returned to the Escape From The Limit crew’s hotel.
“Even if you’re returning a favor, helping someone else film, you have to let me know, if you’re really injured and I and Mi Mi are not there, will Escape From The Limit wait for you or not?”
Back in the hotel, Liu Wei reprimanded Xie Miao severely!
“Brother Wei, I know I was wrong.”
Xie Miao said.
“Alright, go rest, we’re starting filming tomorrow!”
Liu Wei said.
…
When Liu Wei and Yang Mi returned to their room door, they saw Zhang Li, Wen Yong Shan, and Wang Zhi waiting for them in the hallway.
Of course, there was also Di Lieba.
“Sister Mi, we already know about Brother Wei standing up for Xie Miao.”
Di Lieba said excitedly, “It’s a pity we didn’t go with you!”
“Don’t be so nosy, go back to rest!”
Liu Wei shooed them away.
Buzz!
His phone rang.
Seeing the unfamiliar number, Liu Wei hesitated for a moment, then still answered.
“Liu Wei, this is Chen Hong, I’m outside the hotel where your crew is staying, can you come out and talk?”
An urgent voice came through.
Chen Hong didn’t expect that asking Xie Miao to make a cameo would lead to this.
The action director teams in Hong Kong couldn’t be relied upon, and the action director teams in South Korea were also busy and asking for exorbitant prices.
This forced her to talk to Liu Wei.
After all, the arrogant and self-centered Chen Kai Ge would never apologize to Liu Wei.
