Tang Mo Ning didn't expect Yue Ji to be so stupid, and even told everyone that he had received the money in front of everyone, he was in a mess, and he pushed away Yue Ji who was jumping on him.
"Calm down, let's go out and talk about anything else." Tang Mo Ning said to Yue Ji in a low voice, with layers of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
However, at this time, Yue Ji could not hear what Tang Mo Ning said.
He was already in a mess, and his body was refusing to obey Tang Mo Ning's arm, as if he was holding on to the last life-saving straw.
"You have to give me an explanation today." Yue Ji said viciously, "You took so much money from me, don't think you can stay out of it, I still have evidence of remittance to you, believe it or not, I will give the evidence to me right away. Director Wang?"
Although Yue Ji was overwhelmed by the fear of losing the election, he still retained a trace of sanity. He did not shout loudly about the deal between him and Tang Mo Ning, but spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
However, the others naturally noticed Yue Ji's large-scale movements, and turned their heads to look at him and Tang Moning suspiciously.
At this moment, Tang Mo Ning panicked to the extreme.
With a guilty conscience, he looked back at Zhou Yan, who knew nothing about this matter, and then wanted to pull Yue Ji aside: "If you hurry out now, I can say a few good things to you afterwards, otherwise you will make trouble like this. If you go down, no one will please you."
Yue Ji opened his eyes in disbelief and pointed to himself: "Are you threatening me?"
"I just told you not to be impulsive." Tang Mo Ning saw that Yue Ji could still listen to what he said, and quickly said while the iron was hot, "What I promised you will be done, but I also need your cooperation."
Yue Ji stared at Tang Mo Ning with a gloomy face. Although he didn't respond, he was not as emotional as before.
Seeing this, Tang Mo Ning breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue persuading, when Zhou Yan suddenly rushed up behind him, blocking between him and Yue Ji like a mountain.
Zhou Yan didn't know the transaction between them, and didn't understand what they said just now. He thought Yue Ji was looking for trouble with Tang Moning, so he said coldly, "If you can't act well, just study hard, don't be a boss all day long. Think of some crooked ways."
"Okay Brother Zhou." Tang Mo Ning was afraid of angering Yue Ji, so he hurriedly stopped, "Don't say anything."
Zhou Yan turned a deaf ear to Tang Moning's words, he suspected that Yue Ji was deliberately trying to provoke their relationship with Director Wang, and he suddenly became angry and laughed coldly: "Even if you are allowed to join the crew, you have the ability to talk to everyone. Play? So save yourself, don't drag innocent people into it."
"Innocent people?" Yue Ji sensitively grasped the key point in this sentence. He seemed to have figured out something, and his expression gradually became violent, "Oh, so you are all innocent people..."
Tang Mo Ning secretly said that it was bad, he didn't care too much, he just reached out and covered Zhou Yan's mouth.
Yue Ji took Tang Mo Ning's panic in his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth almost inaudibly, "I promised well at the beginning, but now I take the money and turn my face and don't recognize anyone. You guys are really amazing..."
"Yue Ji..."
Before Tang Mo Ning's explanation could be said, he saw Yue Ji staring at him gloomily, then turned around without hesitation and walked towards Bai Guangjian and Wang Dao who were stunned.
"I'm afraid you don't know yet? The male protagonist you chose privately charged me 200,000 yuan, and swore and promised me that he would persuade you to give me the role of the second male lead."
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
Bai Guangjian, Wang Dao and the others were so shocked that they turned their inconceivable gazes at Tang Mo Ning, whose face was as pale as paper.
Even Zhou Yan was stunned on the spot, and his eyes were quickly covered with a layer of emotion called anger, but he quickly reacted and opened his mouth to subconsciously refute Yue Ji's words.
"It's just nonsense. If you frame others without evidence, you will be held legally responsible!"
"How do you know that I don't have any evidence?" Yue Ji still had a hand, and immediately picked up his mobile phone and pulled out a few photos and a recording from the memo, and handed it over to Bai Guangjian, "Mr. Bai, this is what I told Tang Mo. The evidence of Ning's remittance, and the recording of my conversation with him."
Bai Guangjian took over the phone with a gloomy expression, and clicked on the recording at the bottom.
In the originally quiet conference room, Yue Ji and Tang Mo Ning's haggling voices immediately resounded.
Bai Guangjian's face became more and more ugly, and Director Wang next to him was so angry that he almost jumped up.
Director Wang pointed at Tang Moning's nose and began to curse: "What kind of onion are you? You actually treat our crew as a tool for you to make money. In the future, which crew would dare to ask for an actor with no acting skills and no character like you!"
"Is he an actor?" the assistant director added sarcastically, "At most, he's a traffic star. A real actor wouldn't put his mind to these things."
Tang Mo Ning felt dark in front of him and almost fainted. Fortunately, Zhou Yan, who was beside him, supported him in time.
At this moment, he deeply regretted that he had taken Yue Ji's money, and now he didn't even have the last chance to turn around.
He was really poor and scared. The experience of being boycotted by the whole network some time ago made him lose a lot of endorsement cooperation and announcements. Not only did he compensate a huge amount of liquidated damages, but he was also hidden by the company for more than a month.
If it weren't for the fact that the remaining savings were not enough to support his huge expenditure, he would not have thought of the last resort to cheat Yue Ji's money.
Tang Mo Ning thought that Yue Ji was a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others, but how could he know that the other party was a lunatic who could do everything!
"Director Wang..." Tang Mo Ning's eyes turned red, and he shouted with a trembling voice.
Director Wang turned his head away angrily. He seemed to feel disgusted even looking at Tang Mo Ning. He pointed to the door: "Go away, don't appear in front of me in the future, or I'll scold you once I see you."
Tang Mo Ning wanted to beg for mercy, but was mercilessly blasted out by the security guards brought in by the assistant.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Tang Moning and Zhou Yanlian and Yue Ji were chased out of the wine by the security guards.
People who didn't know the truth gathered together to discuss and pointed at their backs. Their curiosity mixed with inquiring eyes was like a needle piercing the nerves of Tang Mo Ning's whole body. In the end, he almost ran out of the hotel lobby.
Now, Tang Mo Ning knew that his acting career was over.
He originally wanted to rely on the movie "Palace Wall" to fight a beautiful turnaround, but unexpectedly, he fell into a big somersault before embarking on this road, and was driven out like a beggar.
finished...
really finished...
However this is not the end.
After Yue Ji, who was broken and smashed, came back to his senses, he began to insult Tang Mo Ning with unbearable words, and forced him to return the 100,000 yuan.
Tang Mo Ning, who was immersed in despair, could no longer suppress his anger, and stood on the street and scolded Yue Ji. In the end, they fought each other, beating each other until their noses and faces were bruised.
Zhou Yan stood beside him expressionlessly, without any reaction or movement.
Zhou Yan turned around and left before passers-by who were watching the excitement gathered around.
After removing Tang Mo Ning's name, the male protagonist's position was immediately vacant.
At the dinner that night, Director Wang tactfully invited Zu Qi to take up the role of the male lead again, and deeply reflected and apologized for his previous behavior of kicking Zu Qi and choosing Tang Moning.
Zu Qi was flattered and watched Wang Daolian drink three glasses of wine, smiled and waved his hand and said it was okay.
In fact, Zu Qi has a good impression of Director Wang, and it can be seen from his performance today that he is not very satisfied with Tang Mo Ning playing the leading role.
It is a pity that many times the director cannot play a decisive role. After all, Bai Guangjian is the largest investor and producer of "Palace Wall", and Chen Meixin is Bai Guangjian's wife. There is a complaint about the behavior of the crew.
Fortunately, Bai Guangjian and Chen Meixin have divorced, and Director Wang no longer has to take care of Chen Meixin's face.
Zu Qi understood Wang Dao's mood, but still politely declined Wang Dao's kindness.
One is that he has been watching Wei Mohan's script recently, and he believes that he has a better understanding of Wei Mohan, and the other is that the male protagonist has a lot of scenes, which is not suitable for him, a newcomer who has just started acting.
After listening to Zu Qi's first explanation, Director Wang couldn't help but feel a pity, but he didn't say anything, and quickly changed the subject with a smile.
There were not many people sitting around the dining table. In addition to Bai Guangjian and the four directors and screenwriters, there were also two assistants and a coordinator. There were less than ten people together with Zu Qi, which just made one table.
Where there are many men, there is a wine bureau. Besides, Director Wang and Assistant Director can see two wine jars. After a meal, they didn't eat much food, but they were full of wine.
Zu Qi also drank a lot and leaned on the seat in a daze.
At this time, Bai Guangjian with a red face leaned over drunk, holding a half glass of wine in his hand. After drinking it, he looked at Zu Qi with some melancholy and sighed deeply.
"Congratulations, you got your favorite script." Bai Guangjian grinned, "You are more capable than I thought, and you don't need my help at all.
Zu Qi turned his head slowly and stared at Bai Guangjian for a while with his round eyes. Although he was drunk and not very clear, he could still sense Bai Guangjian's depressed mood.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai." Zu Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly. He picked up the empty wine glass in front of him and touched the glass in Bai Guangjian's hand, "You didn't do anything unnecessary, you gave me confidence."
Bai Guangjian curled his lips, with an expression of "I don't believe it".
Zu Qi guessed that Bai Guangjian's depression might have something to do with his ex-wife, because just now Director Wang mentioned Chen Meixin when talking about Tang Mo Ning, and Bai Guangjian's face was not very good-looking at that time.
Even though Zu Qi has been in love several times, he is still an inexperienced novice emotionally. He doesn't know how to comfort Bai Guangjian, so he has to keep silent.
So the two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Bai Guangjian said quietly, "Little Ancestor, I have something I want to ask you..."
Zu Qi sat upright subconsciously. Several pieces of chicken soup of love that he had seen on Weibo flashed in his mind. He nodded solemnly and said, "Excuse me."
"When will the next year's meditation powder be on the shelves? I'm running out of stock. If I knew it was in short supply, I would grab more." The sadness on Bai Guangjian's face almost condensed into substance.
"..." Zu Qi was silent for a moment, then decided to tell the truth, "I thought you were sad about Chen Meixin..."
Bai Guangjian blinked blankly: "Who is Chen Meixin?"
Zu Qi: "..."
After three rounds of drinking, everyone is ready to leave.
Zu Qi leaned on the chair in a daze and was about to fall asleep. He couldn't drink enough. If he drank too much, his whole body became hot, and even his brain was frozen, and he couldn't think about anything.
Director Wang called Zu Qi for a long time without seeing a response, so he ordered the assistant to open a room in the hotel and let Zu Qi rest here for the night.
Zu Qi really didn't want to move. Hearing Director Wang's arrangement, he obeyed his wishes.
At this moment, Zu Qi's mobile phone suddenly vibrated. He took it up with some difficulty and glanced at it. Xue Jue's name was displayed on it.
