Chapter 64 – How a Queen Handles Hooligans
Yes, robbery.
When shooting late-night outdoor scenes, the crew needs to rent the venue in advance. The rental fee for the venue is always very expensive. If you add the salary of the crew, the salary of the actors, the machine’s wear and tear and so on, the cost of one night is an astronomical figure.
And these gangster groups who are on the road saw this opportunity and came to the production team to extort money. If the crew disagrees, they will start quarrels and make trouble. Sometimes they play music on loud speakers and sometimes, they use laser pointers to illuminate actors.
They are extremely rogue.
This kind of organization is not even a part of a syndicate but could only be regarded as some dirty local, unruly ruffians. But these flea-like little ruffians could be firmly nailed to them and drink the blood and money of the production team.
Su Jishi frowned, “Why not call the police?”
Amidst the ear-splitting sound, Fang Xie yelled an explanation.
“There have been crew members who called the police before, but if they called the police, more time would be wasted before and after the police arrive! The reputation of the crew has been greatly damaged. The gossip paparazzi, no matter whether you are harassed or attacked, as long as it involved the police, they are willing to spend more money to make this a hoit a topic!”
Therefore, if the local ruffians extort money within the scope the crew can afford, the cast will choose to bite the bullet and cut the flesh.
It happened, however, that the local ruffians who came this time were more daring. When they heard that the production team had the delicate small flower Su Jin, they opened their mouths wider and doubled their blackmail.
The crew naturally refused leading to the shooting suspended immediately.
Su Jishi learned the whole sequence of events and her heart burst into flames.
“A bunch of bastards.” Su Jishi sneered and get out of the car without permission. “Once they are given money, they would come back and ask more. With so many crew members, it will not be hard to teach a few gangsters a few lessons. Yet, you have kept and fed this moths and they will not stop until they have mowed a big tree.”
