Chapter 35: A Strange Atmosphere
"Morning~"
“……”
"Captain Kim is early~"
"Uh...... Early. ”
“…………”
It was too late to arrive at Shanghi and toss back to Hi Ning, so naturally they went back to their respective homes directly.
Han Cuo took a good bath, and then lay on the bed smoking and drying birds. lives alone, no matter whether it is winter or summer, Han Cuo is used to a pair of boxer shorts. Of course, there must be air conditioning, otherwise it will be like death.
As for getting wet after taking a shower, I can't wear shorts right away, so it's also a habit to get in the sun for a while. Even if the curtains are drawn all year round, the sun can't get in, but the table lights are enough.
The surroundings were quiet again, and it seemed a little uncomfortable to be quiet. Thinking of what has been busy in the past few days, it seems like it has only been a few days, but Han Cuo feels that it has been a long time.
It didn't take long to finish smoking, but Han Cuo felt a little tired, closed his eyes and fell asleep until dawn.
I have the impression that after writing a book, I never fell asleep so easily, and I always tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep for a long time when I was thinking about it. Then I fell asleep and woke up a little bit of wind and grass.
When I opened my eyes, the sun shone in. Before you know it, it's April.
Get up, wash your face and brush your teeth and take the bus, the good weather is the beginning of a new day, and it seems to feel a little strange after going in, but it may be a little late, except for Han Cuo, the other screenwriters are here.
Including Lin Xuan was already sitting there, but Chen He and Liu Bailiang were not there.
"Morning~"
“……”
"Captain Kim is early~"
"Uh...... Early. ”
“…………”
Han Cuo sat there while greeting each other, but when he put down his bag, he realized that it seemed that the members of the screenwriting team looked at him differently one by one. And the atmosphere was also a bit weird, Han Cuo sat down and looked around, and all eyes avoided him.
Puzzled and asked Lin Xuan: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Xuan pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his head, Han Cuo looked at Team Leader Jin: "Team Leader Jin? What's wrong? ”
"En......"
Team Leader Jin hesitated, Han Cuo thought he understood, and suddenly spoke: "That's right." Is it Chen He and Liu Bailiang, do you know? ”
Facing Team Leader Jin: "Actually, I'm ...... Fuyang"
"Han Mistake?"
Someone over there suddenly called him, Han Cuo stood up and saw that it was actually Mr. Xiao Zhao in Mr. Zhao's office. It's just that he looks a little haggard, and he doesn't have a beard, as if he slept here last night. At the moment, he still had a cigarette in his hand and beckoned to him.
Han Cuo nodded at Team Leader Jin and got up to go over. But the strange thing is that the people in the screenwriting team are familiar with it. Other groups, including planning, production, administration, and other departments, seem to be watching him. And it's already worked, and everyone is there, but they all seem to be not working, standing or sitting and pointing at random.
That's right, it's not just a discussion, it's also pointing fingers, right and wrong.
What the heck?
Is it the first time that Han Cuo has been so concerned, or is it the whole company?
However, it was not far from Mr. Zhao's office, and after knocking on the door and entering, he found that not only Zhao Shan was there, but Song Liming was actually there.
"Mr. Xiao Zhao, Manager Song."
Han Co closed the door to say hello, and Manager Song smiled kindly: "Sit." Great work. ”
Han sat down, but Zhao Shanhe didn't look back, standing at the window and smoking.
Han made a mistake and said to Song Liming: "I also want to come over in the morning to report to work, and it just so happens that both of you are here." ”
"I've heard about it somewhat."
Song Liming sighed: "Mr. Xiang has signed a contract with Comet Media, and this project belongs to them." ”
Han Cuo was stunned: "I heard about it so soon?" It seems like it was just yesterday. ”
Song Liming spoke: "I have been in this business for ten years, and Mr. Zhao has been in Mingjing and does not deal with these companies very much, and I usually contact them. The circle is not big, and I can talk about Comet Media, not to mention that I didn't say it before you left, and the circle of this project is also staring at the excitement. I thought that maybe I could take over by myself, but I didn't expect Comet Media to be one step ahead. ”
Han Cuo spoke: "I still have to say sorry, in short, in the end, I didn't complete the task." ”
"It's not your fault."
Song Liming interrupted: "I'll say it when you leave, just do your best." ”
Looking outside, Song Liming signaled: "You and Lin Xuan have worked hard." ”
Han Cuo felt strange, why didn't Zhao Shanhe say a word, obviously he called himself in, and then he stood there pretending to be melancholy and decadent?
"Mr. Zhao?"
Han Cuo gestured: "I'm sorry, but I still haven't been able to save the project of Shao Xiang Ganluo." ”
Zhao Shanhe waved his hand, but he still didn't seem to have the strength to speak.
Song Liming looked at Han Cuo: "Just do your best, just do your best." Xiao Zhao can always understand. ”
There was nothing to say, but it didn't seem to mean to let him go.
Han Cuo looked outside, just chatted and asked with a smile: "Manager Song, the atmosphere outside is a little wrong." And how do they ...... one by one Am I sensitive? ”
Curious: "Look at my eyes......"
"Huh."
Song Liming laughed, with an expression of waiting for you to ask, Han Cuo may have seen it wrong.
"They."
Song Liming shook his head helplessly, glanced at Mr. Xiao Zhao, and looked at Han Cuo: "Mr. Xiao Zhao and I know that there is no causal relationship, but in the eyes of their ordinary staff who don't know the truth, that is, you went to Fuyang not only did not save the project, but also made the customer ...... a good time."
"It's not~"
Han Cuo subconsciously spoke, and Song Liming interrupted: "I know, Xiao Zhao and I naturally know." It's not because you didn't win back the customer that the company is facing closure, they are also facing a new job search, especially in the first month when the intern salary system has been implemented. ”
"That's not right!"
The more Han Cuo listened, the more wrong it became: "Manager Song!! Didn't you let me take the blame?! Why does this even make the whole company think so this time?! ”
Song Liming was helpless: "Of course, I have been explaining to the company, including having a meeting with the minister to stabilize people's hearts, and at the same time saying that this time you are doing your best, in essence, the company's closure has nothing to do with your personal performance in recovering customers." It is estimated that the outside peers have also received the rumors, and many directors, such as those who have been working outside, and those who have been on business trips can also hear about the company from their peers. ”
"Fellow contacts?"
Han Cuo was very angry: "The company's business, the employee actually received the news from the outside?!" ”
Song Liming nodded and sighed: "People's hearts are scattered, and the company's current Mr. Zhao may not want to do it, I believe you have heard of it." I also revealed it to you before leaving, and then if it is not recovered, now the subjective and objective reasons will face the end of the company, and all employees will ......"
Unemployment.
Han Cuo doesn't have any real feeling, if you want to say that you lose it, you will only lose this month, because it is only this month that the intern will be paid. Regular employees account for less than 30% of the total number of employees. Because most of the interns had no salary before, there were actually a lot of employees, and there were nearly 100 people in total, and the total number of regular employees was about 30.
Seeing Han Xuan's noncommittal appearance, Song Liming was silent for a moment: "But don't worry, they just misunderstood, and the company will naturally not hold you and Lin Xuan accountable." ”
looked at Han Cuo helplessly: "Of course, in the current situation, don't think about the reward." I'm also going to do my best to help with these things for now, from beginning to end. ”
It seems that everything has been explained, Song Liming frowned and looked at Zhao Shanhe: "Mr. Xiao Zhao, what I said when I didn't come over after picking up Han Cuo, if you still insist on continuing to do it, it's useless for you to stay here, I am most familiar with the business here, even if it is closed, I can handle it well." You might as well go back to Mr. Zhao and see if you can make him change his mind. ”
Mr. Xiao Zhao nodded with a reluctant smile, Manager Song got up and looked at Han Cuo, patted him on the shoulder to show comfort and encouragement: "You also persuade Mr. Xiao Zhao, I'm going to be busy." ”
looked at Han Cuo: "It's better for you to take two days off and take a rest, just so that they can digest the negative emotions towards you." ”
Han Cuo shook his head: "I don't care, I didn't do anything wrong?" ”
Song Liming complained: "But Han Cuo, I don't blame you, I said it." But Lin Xuan stopped people from signing the contract and came over. Also, what's going on with Chen He and Liu Bailiang? It's okay if you get it back, why are you still beating people? See the same as two young people. ”
Han Cuo smiled: "What did Mr. Xiao Zhao tell you?" ”
Song Liming also pointed at him with a smile: "I know they are not sensible, and you don't like it." But it's back to the company......"
"Wait a minute."
Han Cuo interrupted suspiciously: "This incident happened in the hotel, it is impossible for fellow travelers to know, right?" ”
Looking at Zhao Shanhe suspiciously, Song Liming calmly spoke: "Won't Chen He and Liu Bailiang speak?" ”
Han Cuo's tone froze, and Song Liming shook his head: "Take a break." Or if you have time, you can also take Mr. Xiao Zhao out for a walk. ”
Han Cuo looked at Zhao Shanhe, who was just standing at the window and looking out of the window from beginning to end.
"I see."
Han Cuo got up and watched him leave. After closing the door, he was more casual to Zhao Shanhe: "What are you doing?!" ”
took out a Huazi and handed it over, Zhao Shanhe took Han Cuo and lit it with a lighter, and Han Cuo himself also drew one: "Are you pretending to be melancholy or are you really melancholy?" ”
Zhao Shanhe took out a long puff of cigarette and looked out the window: "If you want to say how deep my feelings for cutting-edge film and television are, that's also nonsense, but it's really regret and unwillingness." ”
Seeing that Han Cuo didn't care, Zhao Shanhe smiled: "There's no empathy, right?" Then I'll tell you something. ”
Han Cuo shook his head: "No, how come it has reached the point of completion?" I haven't been back to the company outside, and I don't know, what constellation baby isn't the project advancing very well, has been stable and profitable, and then there may be other projects that are also advancing, the company can't count on a young minister Ganluo ......"
"Twenty million is not a lot."
Zhao Shanhe interrupted: "In fact, such projects are rare. ”
Han Cuo nodded: "And then your mother also scolded the client......"
"You're not scared?!"
Zhao Shanhe glared at him: "That's my mother and the boss of your screenwriting team, you are polite and don't talk behind your back." ”
Han Cuo sighed: "Just protect it." The company is going to be yellow, what's the matter with me. ”
Zhao Shanhe took a puff of cigarette and looked at Han Cuo: "Other projects are profitable, but they are done early, and the key is that in addition to the part of the expenses, the rest of the money has already been taken out." ”
Han Cuo grinned, which means that even if it is profitable, in addition to the salary and other expenses, the rest has been taken away by Mr. Zhao or his sister-in-law, and now there is no surplus money that can be used for normal operation?
"Yes."
Zhao Shanhe spoke: "It's a mess, and this is the root of the can't continue." ”
looked at Han Cuo: "However, you know, Manager Song has been looking forward to keeping the employee's job, of course, the part of the regular employee." In addition, he meant that if you really finish the project, whether it is the person or the project you are working on, you have to continue, and it is impossible to stop doing the project just because you have completed it. People still don't agree, after all, the money is given to you. ”
Han Cuo seemed to understand something: "It's going to be sold?" Other film and television companies that do children's dramas take over? ”
Zhao Shanhe smiled, his beard unshaven: "Do you know who to sell to?" ”
Han Cuo's expression froze: "Don't you say it's Comet Media?!" ”
Zhao Shanhe smiled so happily that he patted Han Cuo on the shoulder hard, and the cigarette ash fell.
"Exactly!"
"I rely on ......"
