Chapter 291: All the People Who Were Banned
"Huh?"
Pan Jiang's words.
Directly bewildered Wang Ye somewhat.
What's going on?
Why had Pan Jiang suddenly started saying this to him?
When had he ever wanted to fire Pan Jiang?
You should know that during this period, Pan Jiang had been performing quite well. Under such circumstances, unless Wang Ye was filled with idle energy, he simply wouldn't consider firing Pan Jiang.
Quickly.
Wang Ye realized what was happening.
Pan Jiang had misunderstood him.
Without delay, Wang Ye somewhat helplessly said to Pan Jiang, "Don't misunderstand, I'm making this call because there's something I need to consult with you about."
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, a sigh of relief came from Pan Jiang on the other end of the phone.
"How could I be worthy of the words 'consultation' in Boss Wang's presence? Whatever questions you have, Boss Wang, feel free to ask."
"It's like this, I want to shoot a movie, but as you know, I've never been in the film and television industry, so I don't have a deep understanding of the talents in this area."
"I want to ask if you know any people you could recommend to participate in the production of this movie."
Wang Ye finished his sentence.
There was a brief silence on Pan Jiang's end, probably because Pan Jiang was also thinking.
After pondering for a while, Pan Jiang's voice came through, saying to Wang Ye, "Boss Wang, you... wouldn't mind using those who have been ostracized by the film and television industry, right?"
In Pan Jiang's words,
there was a cautious and probing tone.
After all, using someone who has been ostracized by the film and television industry as a producer would mean opposing the entire industry.
As such,
it could greatly impact the movie's promotional effects and all other aspects.
Thinking this, Pan Jiang knew that Wang Ye surely wouldn't use a producer who had been ostracized by the film and television industry.
To prevent angering Wang Ye, Pan Jiang hastily said,
"Boss Wang, don't be angry, I was out of line just now, you... "
Before Pan Jiang could finish, an astonished voice from Wang Ye came through, "Angry, why would I be angry?"
"Hm?"
Pan Jiang heard Wang Ye's words.
He was slightly startled.
Wang Ye... wasn't angry?
After all, he had just been considering introducing a producer who had been ostracized to Wang Ye.
As Pan Jiang was stunned,
Wang Ye's voice continued,
"As long as he has the ability, even if he's been ostracized by the film and television industry, so what? What I need are capable people, nothing else matters."
"Besides, you and Xie Wei, the two of you have been ostracized by the film and television industry as well. Did I not still hire you? My elder sister, Zhao Min, she's been ostracized too, but she's still the lead actress in this TV series I'm recording."
"With this being the case, why can't I use a producer who's been ostracized?"
Wang Ye's words dispelled the panic in Pan Jiang's heart.
Right.
That makes sense.
Other directors and investors would be fearful of using people who have been ostracized by the entertainment industry.
But on Wang Ye's side,
But he didn't seem worried about it at all.
So what if he was blacklisted?
Keep using them!
He was not afraid of offending people at all.
Moreover, on Wang Ye's side, the people he is now using all seem to be those blacklisted by the entertainment industry?
With his worries gone, Pan Jiang smiled and said to Wang Ye, "If you don't mind, I actually know a producer, Lang Ren."
"You can search for his information online. It's just that due to being blacklisted, some details on his profile might have been tampered with."
"However, although Zhao Min doesn't know this person, she should have some understanding of Lang Ren's deeds. You can ask Zhao Min about it."
"If you're interested, you can give me another call, and then I'll take you to meet him."
"Okay."
He hung up the phone.
Wang Ye looked at Zhao Min and asked her, "Sister, do you know about Lang Ren?"
While Wang Ye was on the phone with Pan Jiang, Zhao Min hadn't heard what Pan Jiang said, but she did hear Wang Ye say that he didn't care about using a blacklisted producer.
So now.
When she heard Wang Ye mention the name "Lang Ren," Zhao Min's face showed only a slight surprise.
"I know."
Just as Pan Jiang had said, Zhao Min nodded and began:
"Lang Ren is a very talented producer, and he was a top producer five years ago."
"His capabilities are very strong; any movie or TV series he produced would achieve an impressive box office. Whether in selecting directors or action choreographers, or in other aspects, he reached a level of unsurpassed precision."
"Even an original film that could only rake in a million at the box office could, with his involvement in production, elevate to a quality that could draw ten million."
Hisss.
The words from Zhao Min made Yang Xing and Mei Yino both take a sharp breath.
Wang Ye's expression also showed surprise.
He hadn't expected Lang Ren to be so impressive.
Truly worthy of the name Wolf, indeed.
However.
How could such a talented person get blacklisted?
Shouldn't these people be treasuring a golden producer like Lang Ren, holding him in their hands like a prized possession?
"Why was he blacklisted?" Wang Ye asked.
Zhao Min sighed and said, her beautiful eyes full of pity for Lang Ren, "Because he was exceptionally strict in selection."
"Several film and television productions approached him after they had found their directors, but as soon as he got involved, they had to change personnel according to his recommendations without any negotiation."
"In his view, he couldn't accept a movie that could have been great yet fell short because of personnel issues."
"Either change the director or he would walk away."
"It was exactly this personality that made many producers who invited him suffer. Although he truly could bring in immense benefits, on one hand, people might prefer someone more controllable."
"In the end, the people in the film and television circles discussed it and directly blacklisted him."
The words from Zhao Min.
Made Wang Ye, Yang Xing, and Mei Yino realize a certain chaos within the entertainment industry.
At the same time.
It also made Wang Ye, Yang Xing, and Mei Yino realize just how incredible Lang Ren was.
The attitude that Lang Ren maintained was also a kind of confidence in his own abilities.
Moreover, Lang Ren really had a good eye; any movie or TV series selected by him ended up achieving great results.
Yang Xing and Mei Yino looked towards Wang Ye.
