Chapter 363: The Situation Reversed
Thanks to the unique geographical location and environmental advantages of Dongtan Migratory Bird Sanctuary, there are very few staff members in the reserve, so even if it has unique geographical advantages and beautiful environment, in the summer of 2013, not many people came here to 'check in'.
…… After the era of online self-media flourishes, it is estimated that it will become a holy place for many 'Internet celebrities'.
But that would be N years later......
At least for now, the people in the makeshift conference room have to endure the rising temperatures of the cabin from the sun and the occasional mosquito bites.
When Liu Zhi gradually sketched out the outline of the whole thing by asking director Liu Junjie, everyone except Zhao Yifang and Li Mo had different degrees of change in their faces.
Among them, Liu Zhi's face was the most ugly.
It's not that he has any other messy relationship with Su Xiaoyu, he is simply angry.
Although he had already had a preliminary understanding of what had happened on the road, he still had some hope in case: if he didn't ask for this matter, it had nothing to do with Su Xiaoyu, but at least he hoped that there would be some room for relaxation......
At the very least, it will not let him be saddled with an unknown black cauldron.
It's a pity that after inquiry, Liu Zhi, in addition to once again confirming that 'Su Xiaoyu is a troublemaker', the only thing he gained was to show all the details of the matter in front of Zhao Yifang and Li Mo.
Liu Zhi also experienced the competition for crew power between producers and directors when he was a producer, and even personally overturned no less than five directors with high qualifications, but he never thought that someone would compete for power in such a ...... Low!
Yes, I learned this word from Li Mo on the way here.
However, Liu Zhi does feel that it is quite appropriate to use it here.
If you want to take power, go directly to the director, and if you can't do it, you can scold the people in the director team, as long as you have the financial power and personnel power, what power can't you get?
actually started from a little girl in her early twenties, and the fuse was chosen the 'filial piety' that the people of the Celestial Empire value the most, you don't want to think about it, even if you win this game, how many people in the crew will be chilled by your behavior?
What do other people think of the company Drama Cool Culture, and what else do they think of CTI Media?
"Okay, Director Liu, I have completely understood what the whole thing has happened. Liu Zhi nodded politely at Liu Junjie, and turned his gaze to Chen Dan, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, "Miss Chen, do you have anything else you want to add to what Director Liu said just now?"
As the head of Fat Di's brokerage team, Chen Dan's first reaction after hearing Liu Zhi's question was to look at his boss Li Mo with inquiring eyes.
Chen Dan has not joined Molong for a long time, if it were not for the lack of manpower in Molong's current professional broker team, it may not be Chen Dan's turn to be mainly responsible for Fat Di's brokerage business.
For a newcomer like Chen Dan, every opportunity to leave an impression in the hearts of the top management is extremely rare.
Although it has not yet been figured out why Fat Di has something to do in the crew, it will be his own big boss who will personally come out, but this does not prevent Chen Dan from making the most basic choice: to protect Fat Di's interests at all costs.
From this standpoint, Chen Dan has been listening carefully to Liu Junjie's speech from the beginning, if it is not for the conditions, she can even say that she hopes that Liu Junjie can do things that reverse black and white and make false statements.
It's a pity that Liu Junjie's open-minded speech did not give Chen Dan any chance, and now that someone asks, Chen Dan can only regret that he has no room to play.
Seeing that his boss's face was as usual, Chen Dan had no choice but to nod based on objective facts: "The basic situation of the matter is basically the same as what Director Liu said." ”
Even though Liu Junjie has only objectively stated the situation from just now, and has not added any personal opinions during the period, the uneasiness in Su Xiaoyu's heart has not only not diminished because of the calmness of Zhao Yifang and Li Mo, but has intensified and expanded.
"Okay, Director Liu and Miss Chen don't need to participate in the next thing, and when we have a decision, we will inform you, and you can go and rest now." ”
Liu Zhi nodded, and opened his mouth to invite Liu Junjie and Chen Dan out of the temporary conference room.
Liu Junjie walked simply, Chen Dan rubbed a little, and saw that Li Mo really had something to say as she expected, so he hurried over.
"Sister Chen, you go to appease Fat Di's emotions first, and then inform my assistant Feng Wen by the way to book two tickets to fly to Xijiang tonight. ”
"The big boss knows me. ”
Chen Dan tried to restrain the excitement in his heart, nodded, and walked out with Liu Junjie.
As soon as the door of the conference room was closed, Su Xiaoyu couldn't wait to explain.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liu...... There is one thing I would like to clarify. ”
"First of all, I rejected Miss Fat Di's leave application entirely based on maintaining the normal order of the crew, and I did not want the absence of the main actors to affect the work of the crew. ”
"I ...... My starting point is for the sake of the company's interests. ”
This eldest sister is probably panicking now.
Although it is the norm in the industry for film and television companies to squeeze the energy of actors and rush to shoot, this is also one of the underground rules of the crew, and basically no one will put it directly on the table.
…… Especially if there are also outsiders present.
Even if Su Xiaoyu didn't know Li Mo, judging from Chen Dan's respectful attitude towards this young man, it was easy to deduce that Li Mo must not be from Great Aim Company.
But Su Xiaoyu still said it without hesitation......
Could it be that she really didn't consider the possibility of Fat Di staying in the crew?
…………
Regarding Su Xiaoyu's performance, although Li Mo couldn't see any strong expression changes on his face, he still praised the female producer's adaptability in his heart.
In Li Mo's opinion, the female producer named Su Xiaoyu may still be a little underestimated about the seriousness of the matter now, but she has at least analyzed one thing from the clues - the current situation is completely out of her control.
Maybe she still reported that she had planned to compete for the power of the crew, so from now on, everything she does has only one purpose - to let herself get out of this 'inexplicable' storm.
But it's a pity that this young lady's idea is destined to be impossible to realize.
Because of Li Mo's trip today, in addition to the special relationship between Fat Di and himself, he should have come out, but also had the plan to take someone in the crew of "Shanshan is Coming" to stand up.
Among the company's actors, except for Liu Yifei, Wang Kai, and Wan Qian, they are a little famous, and the others can only be regarded as newcomers at most.
Even the brokerage team equipped with them by the company is a little unsure of the company's positioning of them and the strength of its support for them.
Of course, it is impossible for Molong's actors to only take on scripts related to the company, and when entering an unfamiliar crew, whether the agent team and the actors themselves have the confidence to speak will affect many things.
In all fairness, Fat Di's request for leave without being clearly stated in the work contract is indeed inconsistent with the spirit of the contract, and at this point, Su Xiaoyu is indeed reasonable.
Unfortunately, this world is not a place where contracts prevail at all times.
Without affecting the overall execution of the contract, it is very normal to make a slight change in the details.
If there is a force majeure accident, is it possible to tie up the actor and force him to fulfill the contract?
Although it is not clear how Fat Di became the fuse of the power struggle between the producer and the director, no matter what the reason, whether public or private, Fat Di is the person Li Mo must protect.
My people, of course, only I can bully!
Others? That's a dream!
"Miss Su's style and attitude of strictly abiding by the spirit of the contract really make me admire it very much," Before Su Xiaoyu finished his defense, Li Mo opened his mouth and said to Liu Zhi: "Mr. Liu has such employees who abide by the spirit of the contract so seriously, no wonder CTI Media and Juku Culture have been developing so smoothly and can become the leader of the domestic TV drama production industry." ”
"However, just like Miss Su just said, the 'spirit of contract' is the basis of cooperation at all times, and without this, cooperation will naturally be impossible, so even if the contract is terminated, we will definitely deal with it in accordance with the 'spirit of contract', and we will definitely not let your company lose anything!"
Li Mo's words, to the ears of Liu Zhi and Zhao Fang, already meant something else entirely.
In fact, as the initiator and main investor of the project "Shanshan is Coming", CTI Media actually needs Molong more now.
Or to put it more directly, what they need is the upward momentum of Li Mo.
As a director who is currently second only to Xu Zheng in the limelight in China, Li Mo is, in a sense, more worthy of being won over by CTI.
Because everyone in the circle knows that Xu Zheng is a person who has no fixed cooperation company.
Guanglu Media, Mustang Galloping, and even HY, Xu Zheng have certain contacts and ways to get in touch, which also leads to Xu Zheng having a lot of options to choose from, so much that if a company wants to establish a long-lasting, long-term cooperative relationship with him, it is bound to pay a huge price.
And Li Mo's Molong Media can be said to be a completely opposite situation to Xu Zheng.
The industry has basically determined that the relationship between Molong and HY is not harmonious, and the relationship between Li Mo and Wang Zhonglei can be described as bad.
Although Molong has a cooperative relationship with Guanglu Media and Tianying Group, in the view of CTI's analysis team, the cooperation between Molong and the above-mentioned companies is actually an exchange of interests for each party, and the two sides have not established a substantive alliance.
For CTI, these are ready-made opportunities.
Mo Long plans to reach out to the field of TV dramas?
It doesn't matter, although our CTI does not have a good record in the film field, it has already formed a fixed and solid interest network in the field of TV dramas, which has been deeply cultivated for many years.
…… Even if there is one more Molong to participate in the competition, it will be difficult to pose much of a real threat to us.
What's more, in Zhao Fangfang's view, no matter how much Molong tosses, it is impossible to shake the status of CTI in the short term, but CTI can take the cooperation of "Shanshan is Coming" as an opportunity to cooperate with Molong first, so as to prepare for his own investment in big productions and entering the film market in the future.
"Okay, Xiao Su, Mr. Zhao and I are already very clear about what happened this time," before Li Mo said anything else, Liu Zhi spoke first to define the nature of this incident. "Although it is not wrong for you to stick to the contract, it is too rigid and will not be flexible, so you should be mainly responsible for this crew shutdown!"
"Now I announce that I will remove you from the post of producer of "Shanshan is Coming", and I will take the position of producer myself. ”
"As for you, the company has decided to give you a three-month vacation from now on, you can go back and rest for a while!"
When Liu Zhi announced his handling opinion, Zhao Fangfang, the vice president of CTI, did not even say a word.
