Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui were almost ready to send a lawyer's letter.
Fortunately, I endured it.
It turns out that Zheng Rong has a secret secret!
Wan Youcai has lingering fears. Now it is no longer a matter of whether he can blackmail Zheng Rong for money, but whether he can avoid being blackmailed by Zheng Rong...
"I'll tell you!"
"Zheng Rong has been wrangling with us for so long and has no intention of letting go. He must have something to rely on."
Liao Pingshui seemed to be gritting his teeth.
He felt that his cooperation with Wan Youcai was definitely the biggest failure in his life.
Wan Youcai panicked: "How about I delete this email?"
"Deleting is useless. If you delete it here, there is still a record in Zheng Rong's mailbox. You thought you were deleting game friends. If you delete it here, he will also be gone...
"
Hearing this, Wan Youcai was a little at a loss.
After a long time,
Liao Pingshui's mood calmed down a lot: "I quietly deleted the announcement and continued to call Zheng Rong."
"Tell him nicely and angrily, and if it doesn't work, just give him a sum of money."
When money was mentioned, Wan Youcai seemed a little distressed.
Seeing this, Liao Pingshui wanted to curse again: "Use your mind and think about it, is reputation or money more important?!"
"If the money is gone, you can still make money by filming; if the reputation is gone, who will see what you film in the future?"
This sentence is a revelation!
Wan Youcai immediately took action, first quietly deleting the statement "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea".
Then he called Zheng Rong again.
"Director Zheng." Wan Youcai's tone was extremely gentle, even with a hint of flattery.
Zheng Rong was still handling the company's affairs when he suddenly heard Wan Youcai's humble voice and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Director Wan, what's the matter?"
Zheng Rong asked casually.
Wan Youcai hurriedly spoke: "Isn't it a long time since I've had a gathering with you? Why don't I be the host and come out to have a gathering today?"
Zheng Rong's eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that Wan You realized that something was wrong.
However, he really wanted to see Wan You with his own eyes before he said anything, so he casually agreed: "Director Wan speaks, how can I not appreciate him?"
"Then at six o'clock in the evening, good luck coming to the hotel."
After saying that,
Wan Youcai was afraid that Zheng Rong would regret it and hung up the phone.
Zheng Rong looked at the phone with a black screen and smiled.
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Rong called Chen Ming and asked Chen Ming to go to the Good Luck Hotel for a meal if he had nothing to do at night.
Chen Ming is naturally fine.
to be honest,
Until "Old Nine Gates" is not profitable, he can't do anything.
Because there is no money!
Everything is ready at Guofengtang. We are just waiting for Chen Ming to receive the funds and we can start operations immediately.
Of course, Chen Ming can also choose to continue writing songs and sell them to the company's artists.
But he felt this was not good.
Producing a large number of songs in a short period of time is not a good thing.
The three songs that were sold took some time to digest.
Six p.m.
Chen Ming and Zheng Rong arrived at the Good Luck Hotel as scheduled.
Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui arrived earlier and were waiting here an hour in advance. Wan Youcai had been guarding the door of the hotel for fear of neglecting Zheng Rong and Chen Ming.
"Director Zheng, long time no see!"
Wan Youcai was very enthusiastic, as if the two had been friends for many years.
The moment he saw Chen Ming, Wan Youcai looked a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted: "Brother Chen is here too, that's great, fast forward, fast forward."
Come to the box,
Liao Pingshui stood up with a smile on his face: "There are no outsiders today, sit down wherever you want."
Chen Ming looked at this person curiously.
This was the first time Chen Ming met Liao Pingshui. He looked very knowledgeable. Although his behavior was not as enthusiastic as Wan Youcai's, he was very polite.
Zheng Rong sneered: "Screenwriter Liao, it's really hard to meet you. I made two appointments with you last year but I didn't see you."
Liao Pingshui released Zheng Rong and Chen Ming twice.
Ultimately,
Liao Pingshui felt in his heart that there was no need to waste time going to Xingyu Entertainment. Wan Youcai went there at first to discuss the royalties for "Cijiumen Memories".
Now that I was being ridiculed by Zheng Rong, I felt unhappy, but I still held it back well.
This is the benefit of readers.
Can bear it!
"I have something to do, right? I'm busy in the screenwriting business! Director Zheng, please forgive me, I'll punish myself with three drinks in a minute!"
Liao Pingshui laughed and couldn't find any fault with what he said.
The four of them sat down.
After drinking for three rounds, Liao Pingshui winked at Wan Youcai. Wan Youcai immediately understood and said apologetically: "Director Zheng, the statement on Huabo was accidentally posted by a crew member under me.
I didn’t know it at the time.”
"I have deleted that Huabo article and fired the staff member. I will compensate you for this glass of wine."
After saying that, Wan You drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Zheng Rong smiled brightly: "Director Wan didn't say that when we were arguing on the phone before."
For a moment, Wan Youcai's face became even more embarrassed.
really!
When they were arguing on the phone before, he almost asked Zheng Rong for money.
Liao Pingshui came to the rescue and said: "You also know that Lao Wan is a man who likes to brag in front of the crew to save face."
"Everything we say on the phone is to show off in front of outsiders. Now there are just a few of us. We must speak from the bottom of our hearts without any trace of hypocrisy."
Chen Ming sighed slightly in his heart.
Scholars speak really differently!
Zheng Rong was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two people and said directly: "Tell me, why did you call me here today?"
Wan Youcai and Liao Pingshui looked at each other, and the former said tentatively: ""Old Nine Gates" has passed the review. How about we just pretend that nothing happened and release it normally."
Nothing happened!
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Chen Ming's eyes.
After all,
People who plagiarize are extremely talented.
Chen Ming didn't expect much money in compensation, but at least a public apology was required.
Judging from Wan Youcai's attitude, he seemed to want to laugh it off.
Zheng Rong said coldly: "Director Wan, if you say that, then I would be very willing to meet you in court."
"No, no, no, we are all friends, look at what happened!"
Wan Youcai suddenly panicked.
What he fears most now is a lawsuit.
He is unreasonable!
In this case, he will definitely suffer the consequences.
Liao Pingshui's expression was calm and his tone was relatively calm: "From the perspective of Director Zheng and Brother Chen, how should this matter be resolved?"
He and Wan Youcai have only one idea now, to preserve their reputation.
After all, if you want to continue to be in this industry, your reputation is much more important than the quality of your work!
Zheng Rong looked at Chen Ming.
He respects Chen Ming's opinion on this matter.
Chen Ming thought for a moment and spoke softly: "First of all, you need to publicly state that "The Ups and Downs of the Sand Sea" is a remake of "Old Nine Gates" and that your TV series is not original."
Isn’t this indirectly saying that they plagiarized?!
