Chapter 85: Fei Ge was very angry, and the consequences were severe.
When faced with Jessica's threat to "jump ship", Yi Feiyang didn't take it to heart at all. The reason why he didn't give the female lead role to Jessica, apart from the previous film roles not being suitable for her, was that Yi Feiyang thought Jessica was a bit too "proud" and needed to be humbled a bit.
A person cannot be educated if he is not disciplined!
A person cannot become talented without being polished!
If Jessica continues to be so "proud", let's not talk about how her acting career will turn out, but after she succeeds in acting, she will definitely become even more arrogant and look down on everyone; not to mention whether Dream Illusion Film can keep her, even if they do, they'll have to serve her like a young lady!
Yi Feiyang didn't want things to turn out this way, so he had to temper her!
So after hearing Jessica say she wanted to "jump ship", Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "Dear Jessica, I understand what you mean. And I also understand your intention to contribute more to the company... However, for now, there isn't a good script on my end, let alone determining the male and female leads. So please don't rush into things, just be patient for a bit, opportunities will arise, and your dream of playing the female lead will definitely come true!
"Let me tell you, Jessica, I really have high hopes for you! You're excellent in every aspect, whether it's your appearance or otherwise. So I hope you can continue to work hard and accumulate more experience. When the company has a big production, I'll definitely give you the opportunity to shine! Believe me, as one of the best actors in the company, I want you to maintain this pride and continue to bear the weight for the company, striving forward!"
Yi Feiyang's words were powerful and convincing, and even he himself was almost deceived.
Not to mention poor Jessica, who was left speechless for a moment.
"Cough, although that's what you said, but I really can't wait any longer. I still hope you can give me a definite answer. Otherwise, I won't be able to guarantee that I'll continue to stay at Dream Fantasy, and might have to consider other companies." Jessica also stopped pretending to be innocent and cute, directly discussing the conditions.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He said: "This matter... hmm, how about this? Give me a few more months, I'll try my best to write a new script, one that suits you, and then give you a real chance to perform. If you do well, I'll support you as the female lead; if not, you can go find another opportunity elsewhere. I won't have anything to say about it! How's that? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Yi Feiyang directly gave Jessica a set, the meaning is very clear. I'll come up with a new script to test your acting skills. If it works out, I'll make you the female lead; if you perform too poorly, then just quit and I won't stop you.
Jessica didn't expect Yifei Yang's answer to be so straightforward. After a brief moment of contemplation, she said, "Alright, let God be my witness! I'll make you look at me in a new light!"
"I hope so!" Yi Feiyang smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
I thought the conversation had reached this point, and Jessica should have left, but this girl turned around, took a few steps back, and said: "Oh right, boss. There's something I want to say, I haven't seen Natasha for almost two days, and she doesn't answer my calls, I suspect if something has happened to her?"
During this time, Natasha began to gain popularity with the film "Horror Cruise". Jessica and she became close friends during filming, and seeing her rise to fame, she was also happy for her. So she called to congratulate her, but Natasha didn't respond, and when she went to her house to look for her, she couldn't find anyone, so Jessica was a bit worried if something had happened.
A crowd attracts trouble.
Yi Feiyang's first thought was this sentence.
Then, combining Natasha's character, Yifeiyang determined that Natasha was absolutely not learning to show off, and something must have happened.
As soon as he thought of this, Yi Feiyang immediately took action and first called Bunny Bill, Big Bird Ruchi and others to ask if they knew Natasha's whereabouts.
These people and Natasha were relatively close, so they should have had some news about her. However, the answer that Yifei Yang got was that everyone hadn't seen her for two or three days either.
He hung up the phone and Yi Feiyang's eyebrows furrowed.
Jessica, who had only casually asked, also knew the severity of the situation and proposed a suggestion, "Shouldn't we go to report to the police first?"
Yi Feiyang shook his head and immediately vetoed Jessica's very "stupid" suggestion.
In Hollywood, whether it's a director or an actor, what they fear most is getting entangled in lawsuits.
Especially as a newly popular female star, Natasha really has something to worry about. What if it's a misunderstanding? That would only affect her career.
"Don't worry too much, I'll ask around through connections again." The "connections" Yifei Yang referred to was none other than the camel's hump on Chinatown.
Don't forget that Camels has many sharp-eared and quick-witted horse boys around him. In Los Angeles, there are some capable people.
……
As for Lao Tzu, he has recently shaken off the "poor and miserable state" of constantly being owed money by Meng Huan Ying Ye, his back is no longer hunched, his legs are no longer trembling, he holds his head high, puffs out his chest, and looks up with pride.
Just because, 3 million US dollars in hand!
It's just because I'm also a shareholder of Dream Illusion Films!
It is often said: A good company is everyone's good!
After receiving a phone call from Yifeng Yang seeking help, Camel immediately dispatched his men to gather information.
There are different roads for snakes and mice, everyone has their own way of achieving success.
So when Old Camel heard the news, Yifei Yang couldn't help but feel a little surprised, this speed was too fast!
The content of the message is not very good.
Natasha was held captive by notorious "bad boy" Buffalo Bill of the Los Angeles underground film scene.
Wild Bull Bill is not a good person. If you must use vocabulary to describe him, it would be "bullying men and oppressing women" and "doing all sorts of evil".
Yes, he is this kind of person.
If God has a spirit, he will definitely strike this guy with lightning.
Unfortunately, God has been nearsighted lately and can't see these damned people clearly.
Like many of the bad guys, Buffalo Bill's ability to run amok in the Hollywood underground film market is due to a big backer behind him, who is nicknamed "The Elephant" - Henry Williamson.
"Big Elephant" Henry Williams is very famous in the underground adult video market. The reason is that he controls all the circulation of adult tapes, whether it's your newly shot AV movie or a long-lost celebrity sex tape, you can find them here. However, what "Big Elephant" Henry has always been proud of is that he has a box of Madonna's sex tapes from when she first debuted.
"That's priceless!"
"Big Elephant" Henry says hello whenever he meets people.
"Damn it, you can't even dream of seeing our beloved Tian Hou's Eiffel Tower-like twin peaks! But I get to admire them every night! And I can zoom in for a closer look, seeing every single blood vessel on her precious..."
It can be said that "Big Elephant" Henry has a bad reputation in the entertainment circle, almost everyone who knows him knows that he made his fortune from "pornographic films". Although they look down on him, they have to admit it, because he is very rich!
This "porn king" of the underground film world never placed importance on any crappy reputation. In his eyes, even father and mother are not as important as money; no matter how good a reputation is, it can't compare to the large numbers on US dollars.
His famous saying is: It's better to make money with your own bare ass than to kiss other people's asses for money!!
When Natasha first came to the United States, she was struggling financially and reluctantly signed a filming contract with ToP Film Company, which was controlled by "Big Elephant" Henry.
The one who signed her was none other than the big bad wolf Buffalo Bill, but due to scheduling reasons, or rather, Buffalo Bill's lack of attention to her, this contract kept being delayed. It wasn't until Natasha became famous with "Horror Cruise" that Buffalo Bill on this side realized he had picked up a treasure.
If Natasha were to film a small AV movie at this time, it would definitely be a huge hit.
Action speaks louder than words!
Talk is cheap!
Under Wild Bull Bill's arrangement, several thugs kidnapped Natasha to "Top Film Company" and forced her to shoot new adult films to pay off the debt.
Yi Feiyang's first reaction after hearing all the news about Natasha from Lao San was to erupt!
Yes, Yi Feiyang has been cultivating his mind and nature for so long, originally thinking that he could calmly face any situation, but after hearing what Laozi said, he still couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of anger.
Yi Feiyang's impulsiveness wasn't because of how close he was to Natasha... God can testify that their relationship was absolutely clean and platonic, nothing more than a boss and friend!
It's not that Yi Feiyang is so good at saving face... Face is earned by oneself, not bestowed by others. No matter how good you are at saving face, it's useless if you can't earn it!
The main reason is that Natasha had helped him before!
Yes, Natasha as a friend had helped him three or four times!
When "The Blair Witch" was first released, no one thought much of the film and the cinema entrance was deserted. Natasha invited a group of friends to wear revealing bikinis and stand at the entrance to attract audiences. When filming for "Horror Cruise" began, Natasha didn't even ask for payment and helped with the shoot. After filming finished, she didn't mention anything about sharing profits...
Friends like you are few and far between!
Friendship requires loyalty and integrity!
One must be true to his words!
This is Yifeiyang's principle!
Yi Feiyang is a utilitarian, but when it comes to emotional and moral obligations, he is very persistent.
If others have helped me, I will definitely repay them double!
That's his "justice"!
Nowadays, without even saying hello, he moved Natasha who had helped him before. This cannot be tolerated!
If I had to use a trendy phrase, it would be:
Fei Ge was very angry.
The consequences are very serious! (......)
