Theatre backstage lounge.

Zhou Ziheng stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking out of the window, his face sinking like water.

Mi Xinghe put his hands on his chest, leaned on the back of the sofa and closed his eyes.

Mi Xinghe was originally a kind person, kind to people everywhere, and putting on such a physical posture is enough to show that he is extremely angry.

Zhang Deming of the rooftop company sat on another sofa with a dilemma on his face: "Boss Mi, do you want to discuss it again?" I'm also very embarrassed, can you be considerate of my difficulties? ”

"You're not negotiating", Mi Xinghe hurriedly said, "This is coercion, you don't do it like this, dirty!" ”

"You can't say that", Zhang Deming also sank his face, "In fact, this is also part of the publicity, the contract is clearly written, and Happy Rice must cooperate with the publicity ......"

"Stop!" Mi Xinghe reprimanded, "What kind of bullshit is this? What is written in the contract is a reasonable and legal publicity, not in the name of publicity, to meet your rude requirements! ”

"I ......"

"Don't say it, wait for Zhou Yi to come back and listen to what he has to say."

"I think so too", Zhang Deming said, "Young people have a lively brain and can think openly, what you can't accept, maybe Director Zhou shouldn't take it seriously at all." Please call Director Zhou again and ask him where he has gone. ”

Mi Xinghe glanced at Zhang Deming in disgust, and took out his mobile phone to call Zhou.

The bell rang outside the door, the door was pushed open, and Zhou Yi appeared at the door, smiling: "Yo, what about the cold war?" Who told me, what the hell is going on? ”

Mi Xinghe and Zhou Ziheng hurriedly gathered over, and Zhang Deming also greeted with a smile: "Director Zhou, you are here." Sit down, sit down, I said slowly. ”

asked Zhou Yi to sit down in the center on the couch, Zhang Deming also sat down, and said with a smile: "In this case, didn't we sign a contract?" When I came back, I reported to Boss Li, and Boss Li was anxious and scolded me.

"Why?" Zhou Yi asked patiently.

"Of course, it's because of losing money", Zhang Deming said helplessly, "According to the contract, Happy Rice will not lose money, even if a ticket can't be sold, you can earn as much as you want, and you will have an income from one performance."

"We're different, even if this round of shows is sold out, we won't make a lot of money. In addition, a lot of money has been spent on publicity and promotion recently, and it is really in vain. ”

"You mean, you want to change the contract?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile.

"No, no, no", Zhang Deming waved his hand again and again, "We are a contract-honoring and credit-abiding enterprise, once the contract is signed, it is written in black and white, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we have to fulfill it in place." However, we have a small request, and we would like to ask for your cooperation. ”

"How to cooperate?"

"Attend an event, pull some investment, hedge some of our costs, it's as simple as that."

"It should." Zhou Yi still said happily.

Zhang Deming immediately gave a thumbs up: "Look, you have to be a young man, you can make sense as soon as you say it, it's refreshing and atmospheric." ”

"Stop, don't put a top hat on me", Zhou Yi interrupted him with a smile, "Tell me what specific activities and what we need to do." ”

"It's very simple, it's a very small thing", Zhang Deming carefully worded, "There are several big bosses in Shanghai, and they are all very good friends with our boss Li." When "Charlotte's Troubles" was performed in Qianzhou, several of them went to see it, and they were full of praise and high evaluation. I especially like the actor 'Ma Dongmei'.

"Isn't it? As soon as I heard that our company invited you to perform in Shanghai, several big bosses were so excited that they deliberately set up a table in the five-star hotel next to it, and wanted to invite 'Ma Dongmei' to have a meal, it's as simple as that.

"If 'Ma Dongmei' can attend, the bosses promised to pay 200,000 yuan, which can be regarded as sharing the cost of the performance with our company, and our company can be regarded as returning to the cost. Director Zhou, can you understand our difficulties? ”

"Understand, hehe, isn't it just a meal? Having a meal can do your company so much, it's worth it! Zhou Yi was still smiling.

"Ouch, it's great that you can understand", Zhang Deming gave a thumbs up with both hands, "I told Boss Mi and Manager Zhou just now, I don't know what the two of them think, I was very angry, as if we were going to do something to Ma Dongmei." ”

"They think too much," Zhou Yi echoed, "just having a meal." In this way, I promised to come down for 'Ma Dongmei', and when the time comes, not only will she go, but we will all go together to give the bosses face, do you think it's okay? ”

"No, no, no", Zhang Deming smiled and waved his hand, "Director Zhou, you misunderstood, we have more opportunities to eat." The bosses said that this time only 'Ma Dongmei' was invited alone. ”

"Zhou Yi, listen to it!" Mi Xinghe frowned and reminded Zhou Yi, "They invited Meng Xiyang to eat alone, and they gave 200,000 yuan for one meal, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask again", Zhou Yi smiled and comforted Mi Xinghe, and asked Zhang Deming, "Please 'Ma Dongmei' alone?"

"Individually, please."

"Ill-intentioned?"

"Hey, how is that possible, it's just a meal."

"200,000 yuan for a meal, are several bosses stupid?"

"No, no, no", Zhang Deming said, "you have to understand the enthusiasm of a person to chase stars." For those bosses, why spend thousands of dollars for the idol in their hearts? They have money, and they don't care about it.

"Of course, it is not excluded that there is another possibility, 'Ma Dongmei' thinks that a few bosses are good and rich, and it may be possible to be willing to make friends with them, after all, there is no harm. Multiple friends and multiple paths, multiple rich friends, is equivalent to finding a backer in the entertainment industry, why not? ”

"There is a certain amount of truth", Zhou Yi nodded with a smile, "According to what you say, if I stop it, maybe 'Ma Dongmei' will not be happy?" ”

"Isn't it? They are all adults, and they should be given more opportunities and choices. ”

"Oh, too. Then let me ask 'Ma Dongmei', ask more, what if 'Ma Dongmei' is unwilling? ”

"Won't it?" Zhang Deming said, "We have in-depth cooperation with Happy Rice and organized such a large-scale tour for you in Shanghai, isn't this helpful?" The favor is too thin, right? ”

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "Cooperation is cooperation, this is a business behavior at the company level, there is a contract, there are legal constraints, we earn our money, and you also have your interests." But as a 'Ma Dongmei' individual, she has no obligation to accompany the bosses to drink and eat. What if she doesn't agree? ”

"No", Zhang Deming sank his face, "We must avoid this situation, it will be boring to get to that point." ”

"What happens if it gets to that point?"

"There can't be a just in case. Director Zhou, to put it mildly, if 'Ma Dongmei' really doesn't even give this face, our boss will be embarrassed and thrown home, and the face will fall on the ground and can't be picked up, how will it be mixed up in Shanghai in the future? So ......"

"How?"

"I had to cancel the show."
