Chapter 64: Betrayal

As a result, the shooting of the day was carried out without him.

Fan Cheng revised the shooting plan on the spot, used other people to fill Zhu Zhize's vacancy, and finally reluctantly completed the shooting work within the specified time.

Zhu Zhize disappeared like this, and it wasn't until a few days later in the morning that Fan Cheng saw Zhu Zhize's news in the newspaper.

In the newspapers of Lu Province, Zhu Zhize, who already has a little fame, was interviewed.

The reporter first began to introduce Zhu Zhize's background.

"Recently, there is one organization and their work that has been getting a lot of attention across the country, and that is the Yoshimoto Theater Company and their sketches. ”

"But just recently, we got the news that there seem to be a lot of problems in the troupe, the head of the troupe and the person in charge of the channel that broadcasts their variety show are said to be a member of the troupe, who is only willing to make money for himself, but when the troupe member makes money for him, he is not willing to give the troupe a penny of salary increase, whether this is really the case, on related issues, we interviewed Mr. Zhu Zhize. ”

"Mr. Zhu, why did you accept our interview this time?"

"Because I can't stand it anymore, we are too busy and too tired, even so, we still earn very little, I have learned before, in our group, Sister Wan Hong, who earns the most, has a monthly salary of about two or three thousand a month, and my monthly salary is much less than her.

As for the work we do, it is very busy and hard, like me, I am still in Shudu for 3,000 days, just because I want to go back to Taiwan to record "Eight o'clock in the evening, all the staff gathered", which is still produced by a junior TV station, I have to take a train back to Yangji City for two days and one night, we are busy with work, and we may record all night at night, and there is no sleep time at all!"

In the whole interview, Zhu Zhize was accusing Fan Cheng of his "crime", Fan Cheng in his mouth was a tyrant who oppressed the troupe, molested the female troupe, and embezzled almost all the income in the troupe.

To tell the truth, strictly speaking, what Zhu Zhize said is not wrong, Fan Cheng did say that he was like a tyrant, and he did manage the income of the members very strictly, but this is the effect he wanted, under the popularity of this group of people, Fan Cheng must use strong management to suppress them so that they will not be arrogant or even dispersed because of money, and he did not leave the money he earned, in addition to the construction of the TV station, the construction of the troupe itself has also invested a lot.

Like agents, it doesn't matter when they shoot programs on their own TV stations, once someone receives an invitation from other TV stations to participate in the program, every person or group that goes out will be matched with an agent, and these are all money-oriented.

Even the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these people, since Yoshimoto was established, Fan Cheng and the company's administrators have proposed that the goal of the troupe is that all the official artists of the troupe will be responsible for their personal aspects, so that these people can only think about how to make a show and how to be funny every day.

This Zhu Zhize is very smart to say only one or two lies out of ten sentences, or simply all the truth, but he either adds fuel and vinegar, or deliberately ignores some of the true thoughts, like saying that he is molesting the female league members or something, Fan Cheng will never do this under the show, and there is only one situation where he will do this, that is, on the show, he will do it after he has already told the female league members.

What's more, look at the female members of the Yoshimoto troupe, and then look at Fan Cheng's height, appearance, and status...... Is it necessary for him to flirt with the female troupe members? It is the female troupe members who are already familiar with Fan Cheng in private to flirt with him in turn.

But the world doesn't know these things in private, they can only see what they can see in front of them, that is, Fan Cheng does have a lustful and strange role on TV, and Zhu Zhize's usual image in the show is quite positive, the gap in the role, plus Zhu Zhize puts his position in a very low position and people are often sympathetic to the weak, soon, the news about the Yoshimoto Theater Troupe bullying the members, the head of the troupe embezzling and molesting the female members, became popular!

Fan Cheng wanted to restrain the members of the troupe and the TV station at the first time, asking them to be careful about interviewing or being used, but after all, these people have only entered the entertainment industry for a short time, and they have not yet adapted to this circle where every sentence may be taken out for analysis and misinterpretation.

"Excuse me, there have been rumors recently that the salaries of the members of the Yoshimoto Theater Company have not changed since they became popular, is this true?"

"Ah...... Well...... Although this is true, the third uncle also explained to us that it is because ......"

"What about Fan Cheng's flirting with the female troupe?"

"No, that's what he showed on TV, he actually ...... in reality"

Before he could finish speaking, the reporter turned around and ran.

"He's admitted! It's all true!

The interviewees who left the troupe stood there messy in the wind.

If you have been in the entertainment industry for a while, you will not leave a chance for reporters in this kind of answer, but the first brothers of the Yoshimoto Theater Company have no experience with this, and the interviews they accept further fueled these rumors.

Fan Cheng thought that Zhu Zhize's behavior must have been supported by someone behind him, otherwise he would not have been able to find a reporter and be interviewed quickly within a few days after he disappeared, and the newspaper may not be ready to sell the newspaper so quickly, as for who directed everything in the back, Fan Cheng felt that he would soon know.

Zhu Zhize's defection and the inappropriate interviews with the troupe members plunged the troupe into a whirlpool of public opinion, and many domestic comedians came forward to attack the troupe.

Not only people in cross talk and sketches, but also people in the magic capital, Shudu, central, inland, and even many local comedy artists on Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island have attacked Fan Cheng and Yoshimoto Theater Company.

In the midst of the doubts, even the relevant departments of the Yangji Municipal Government and the General Administration in the capital could not sit still, and the General Administration issued two documents in succession, saying that it would soon send an investigation team to investigate the problem of the Yoshimoto Theater Company.

For this kind of investigation, Fan Cheng is not afraid, he is not really corrupt, everyone in the Yoshimoto troupe believes in him except Zhu Zhize, the relevant departments can't investigate anything, the key is public opinion, there is almost no backstage Fan Cheng, there is no way to fight back against the other party, it seems that he can only sit back and watch these traditional artists who have the right to speak endlessly attack him.

As for the guy who rebelled against Zhu Zhize, as he expected, this person soon came to the stage.

Cross talk actor Xiao Yuan, who caught Fan Cheng and attacked him before, seems to have become a beacon of resistance against Fan Cheng, and has spoken out to deal with Fan Cheng in the TV industry many times, as if as long as they want to, they can't control Fan Cheng's cross talk sketch world at all to sanction him.

After Zhu Zhize's interview was published, Xiaoyuan stood up and expressed his sympathy for Zhu Zhize's situation, so now that he has no partner, he is willing to partner with Zhu Zhize and work together as a cross talk actor in the future.

Zhu Zhize is not a cross talk actor, but in private, he seems to have calculated with Xiao Yuan, and when Xiao Yuan said this, Zhu Zhize nodded and agreed to his partner's request almost without time to think about it.

Xiaoyuan even proposed to rehearse cross talk with Zhu Zhize immediately, so just a week later, the two actually performed their new cross talk on the TV program in Lu Province!

However, as for the effect of cross talk......

What can be polished in a week, the performance of the two is not only boring, but also the cooperation is also terrible, but ...... I'm afraid that Fan Cheng complained about this in front of the TV, in the eyes of others, the focus of the two performances is obviously not interesting.

As for Fan Cheng's response, it was also very simple, he sent Zhu Zhize to court with a summons.

Zhu Zhize's contract with the troupe is very complete, and Fan Cheng feels that even if he finds a law graduate, he can win the lawsuit.

The news that the Yoshimoto Theater Company was going to file a lawsuit with Zhu Zhize quickly spread throughout the country, but the people who didn't know the truth didn't think that Fan Cheng, who was holding the contract, made sense, and they even felt that this contract was evidence that the troupe and Fan Cheng were squeezing artists, and with the voices of other artists across the country, they were flooding towards Fan Cheng again.

At this time, a piece of news came out.

It turned out that the "Ma Sanli Cup" comedy performance competition founded by Ma Sanli was established under the inspiration of Fan Cheng.

The reason is very simple, in the past, domestic competitions would always limit some conditions, such as cross talk contests, sketch contests and the like, no way, the country is respected by these two, but the Ma Sanli Cup is different, this is a competition that does not limit the art form! Cross talk sketches can, the two people of the three eastern provinces turn to the Qingkou of the magic capital, Hong Kong Island's stand-up comedy, Taiwan Island's talk shows, all of them are no problem, you can participate!

It is said that cross talk sketches are declining in China, but there must also be a decline in talent, for more other art forms in China, they don't even have a chance to decline, and many of them directly break off the inheritance, the reason for this situation is that they can't keep up with the trend and don't have a performance stage.

The emergence of the "Ma Sanli Cup" has given these art forms a possibility and allowed them to see the opportunity to succeed, in this regard, there is no doubt that they owe Fan Cheng a favor.

The silence of these people has made the coalition of "crusade against Fan Cheng" lose a considerable amount of public opinion support, after all, these traditional artists still have a considerable right to speak, without them, the remaining ordinary people have no right to speak and can only follow the clouds, and then there are cross talk and sketch artists.

These people can be said to "hate" Fan Cheng the most.

His program, although he keeps saying that it is a short play, but in their eyes it is a cross talk sketch, but Fan Cheng and the people of the Yoshimoto Theater Troupe do not participate in their association, and they do not want to be included in the formal management.
