Chapter 33: Everything is under control
"Canceling the show? You repeat! Zhou Yi frowned and stared at Zhang Deming's eyes.
"Yes." Zhang Deming put on a posture of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water".
"Hehe", Zhou Yi asked rhetorically, "The theater is rented, the stage is built, the props are made, the actors are here, the tickets are sold, and the performance is canceled?" The audience is not allowed to smash the field? We signed a contract! ”
"That can't be helped", Zhang Deming spread his hands and said scoundrelly: "You forced it, and you have to bear all the responsibility." We won't pay for the show, you'll refund the audience's ticket money, and I'll issue a disclaimer through the media.
"Even the hotel I arranged for you, you have to move out, because you breached the contract first, and the contract is clearly written, you have to cooperate with the announcement, but you don't cooperate."
"Wait, let Ma Dongmei accompany the bosses to eat and drink, what does it have to do with cooperating with the announcement?"
"Of course it matters", Zhang Deming quibbled, "The bosses said that as long as Ma Dongmei participates in the banquet, they will help publicize it, doesn't it matter?" If she doesn't go, won't it affect the publicity? ”
"Fuck, haha......" This sentence made Zhou Yi laugh angrily, bastard logic.
Zhou Yi suddenly remembered Wang Junlei's words, "lack of Delin" and "lack of Deming" are debts, owe money, deceive people, deceive people, and do all kinds of evil, which seems to be true.
"Okay", Zhou Yi sent Zhang Deming away with a smile, "I'll promise to come down for 'Ma Dongmei' first, and then mobilize her." But I also have a request, let your boss Li Delin personally invite 'Ma Dongmei', this request is not too much, right? ”
"Not too much, not too much", Zhang Deming turned cloudy and sunny, smiling, "As long as you agree, this matter will be easy to do." Come on, I'll report to the boss right now and ask him to invite him personally! ”
……
"Zhou Yi, how can you promise him?" After Zhang Deming left, Mi Xinghe frowned and asked.
Zhou Yi pretended to be helpless: "The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, don't people say it?" If you don't agree, you will cancel the performance, they will collect the money for the ticket, and we will be responsible for refunding the ticket, how much money will be lost inside and out? Anyway, it's just to let Ma Dongmei accompany them to have a meal, so it doesn't matter. ”
"You are confused", Mi Xinghe said angrily, "they are ruffians, hooligans, scoundrels!" Calling Meng Xiyang over is definitely not as simple as having a meal, what should people do to her? They got her drunk and ...... And then what to do?
"Also, can't you see that Meng Xiyang likes you? Aren't you uncomfortable for you to let her accompany a few stinky men to eat and drink? ”
Zhou Yi was "aggrieved" and complained: "Who is it to rely on for this? Now that you know that they are ruffians, hooligans, and scoundrels, why didn't you investigate clearly when you contacted and signed the contract in the early stage? ”
"I ...... Alas, it's true that I'm inexperienced! Mi Xinghe is poor in words and blames himself.
He trusted the "Bafang Juyi" company, and the "Bafang Juyi" company introduced the "Tiantai Company", and Mi Xinghe trusted them, but he didn't expect the "Tiantai Company" to be such a bastard.
Mi Xinghe blamed himself for a long time, and made up his mind and said: "No, even if the performance is canceled, I can't let Meng Xiyang accompany the wine." They sell the tickets, they collect the money, and they are responsible for everything. Our losses are also borne by them, and a society governed by the rule of law has its own place of reasoning. ”
"Yes!" Zhou Ziheng also echoed angrily, "I will contact the media now, issue a statement, and seize the right to speak in the media." I want all the people in Shanghai to know what kind of shameless company Tiantai Company is, and what a lack of morality Li Delin and Zhang Deming of Tiantai Company are. ”
Zhou Ziheng walked out angrily, and Mi Xinghe also walked out, and the posture seemed to be fighting with someone.
"Wait, wait", Zhou Yi suddenly laughed: "I'm joking with you, look at you in a hurry." ”
Mi Xinghe and Zhou Ziheng were stunned at the same time and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhou Yi smiled: "Meng Xiyang has the best relationship with me, can I let her accompany the wine?" Rest assured, you're in control. My purpose is to call Li Delin here, and then clean him up obediently, uprightly, willingly, and steadfastly serve this round of performances well. ”
Mi Xinghe and Zhou Ziheng stared wide-eyed, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Yi's gourd: "What can you do?" ”
Zhou Yi smiled faintly, and told him about his visit to Wang Junlei, and Mi Xinghe and Zhou turned from worry to joy, "Did you say it earlier?" Invite the Buddha, are you still afraid of demons? ”
……
Zhou Yi, Mi Xinghe and Zhou Ziheng left the conference room and went to the front desk of the theater, where Meng Xiyang, Cheng Hao, Xia Shangzhou, Song Yuanming and others were all rehearsing, laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere was lively.
Mi Xinghe asked Zhou Yi: "Do you want to tell everyone about this?" ”
"Don't tell them." Zhou Yi said. Then he bubbled up the water and said, "I'm going to tease Meng Sunset." ”
So, Zhou Yi adjusted his mood and his face became gloomy. Standing at the entrance of the stage, he beckoned to Meng Sunset: "Sunset, come over for a while." ”
Meng Xiyang walked over and followed Zhou Yi into an unmanned dressing room.
"What's wrong?" Meng Xiyang observed his words and looks, and saw that Zhou Yi's face was not correct and worried, so he couldn't help but be a little worried, and took his hand.
The two belong to underground lovers, and they are quite close when no one is around.
"The show may be canceled." Zhou Yi said softly.
"Huh? Are you kidding? Meng Xiyang was stunned.
"Really." Zhou Yi said seriously.
"That's not good", Meng Xiyang was stunned, "The tickets are all sold, how can you say that you will cancel it?" We have come all the way to Shanghai, made so many preparations, spent so much time, and now that the show is canceled, who will pay for our losses? ”
Zhou Yi raised his head at forty-five degrees to look at the lamp, and stretched the corners of his eyes with his fingers, as if he was about to cry. In fact, I wanted to laugh, but I held back.
Meng Xiyang was even more worried: "Don't worry, there is always a solution, say it slowly." ”
"Alas", after Zhou Yi's emotions were conveyed in place, he sighed deeply, "We are not to blame for this, but the performance company 'Tiantai Company'." Only today do we know that this is a rogue company that raises a bunch of ruffians.
"They suddenly brought it up today and asked you to go with the wine and have dinner with a few bosses. He also said that this is part of the publicity of the drama, and we must cooperate, and if we don't cooperate, even if we breach the contract, not only will we not get the performance fee, but we will also be responsible for the audience's refund.
Of course, we were not convinced, so we looked at the contract with a lawyer. I was dumbfounded after reading the contract, they dug a hole for us, if the performance is canceled, the responsibility is indeed borne by us, we have to lose money, refund the ticket, and compensate the agency and the performer, so ...... The drama club may be going bankrupt......"
The scene rendered by Zhou Yi is very similar to the drama troupe in the era of warlord melee and banditry, and the "party" Meng Xiyang is like a beautiful little flower girl who is targeted by bandits and bullies.
Meng Xiyang was instantly worried......
