In the hospital ward, Xu Xiaoming lay quietly, staring at the ceiling motionlessly.
The TV is playing a vulgar stock trading movie from Hong Kong TVB called "The Blue Bird Family". The plot is roughly that the protagonist's parents were bankrupted by a wave of bad guys in the stock market and committed suicide by jumping off a building. Then when he grew up, the protagonist rose up in various difficulties. And then the story of revenge.
If this kind of TV series were placed in the 1970s and 1980s, it would be considered a classic.
But now?
Please!
It's two thousand years later, why do people still watch this kind of TV series?
You ask a forty-year-old actor to play a twenty-year-old, and a thirty-five-year-old actress to play an eighteen-year-old girl.
This feels completely inconsistent, okay?
After hearing the male and female protagonists deliberately pretending to be young and talking about each other, Xu Xiaoming even wanted to smash the TV!
Then, he thought of the scene where he was pushed to the ground and beaten into a dog by Zhou Yang.
Very angry.
He has been in this circle for so many years, when did he suffer such injustice?
He was actually shocked by Junk Zhou Yang's look. Not only did he not dare to dodge, his mind went blank and he was beaten continuously.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated and angry he became. He thought of a thousand ways to kill Zhou Yang, and even thought about letting Zhou Yang spend the rest of his life in prison to let him know that he had offended someone he shouldn't have. people.
He suddenly felt that he was very reckless. He felt that he should not have been drunk and impulsively come over alone. He should have asked a few more people to come over, even those "stick" brothers with black backgrounds. Cruelly destroy him.
When he thought of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!
Damn it, where are the people?
Why am I here alone?
I've been beaten like this, where are those people! Where's the lawyer? Why haven't you come here yet? Why don't anyone even look at me?
Didn't I call?
Where are these people?
Xu Xiaoming picked up the phone and subconsciously dialed the numbers of his former friends.
But without exception, these calls are either turned off or no one answers them.
Then he made another phone call to his lawyer.
The lawyer's phone call has been answered.
However!
"Mr. Xu, I personally suggest that you choose to apologize and reconcile, and compensate Mr. Zhou Yang for lost work time, mental loss, and damage to the recording studio equipment. Let this matter be suppressed."
"I, it was... I was beaten... by him. He beat me. I am... still in the hospital!"
"This is my personal suggestion. Okay, sorry, I have to be busy."
After seeing the lawyer's reaction, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Creak", the door opened.
He subconsciously looked towards the door, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw Zhou Yang walking over silently.
"You, what are you doing!" He suddenly jumped up, like a frightened kitten. Because he spoke too fast, he felt a sharp pain in his jaw.
The pain made him gasp.
"..." Zhou Yang looked directly at him without saying a word. He didn't say a word and just sat next to him.
"You...you..." He was stared at with some horror, and his body tied with a plaster was shaking violently.
"..." Zhou Yang still didn't speak, but stared at him carefully, then took out a notebook from his arms and memorized it carefully.
As if staring at some strange creature.
"What the hell...are you coming...someone is coming!" He trembled violently and then yelled.
But no one has responded yet.
A weird atmosphere reverberated around the ward. He didn't know how long it had been, but only after his whole body was soaked with sweat, he saw Zhou Yang put away the notebook, tore out one of the pages without saying a word, and put it on his
Next to the bed, he then took out his mobile phone and clicked on the video recording function in the mobile phone: "This is the cost of medical expenses and band-aids, as well as our lost work expenses and nutritional expenses today. I will officially hand it over to you..."
"You... this matter is not over yet. Don't even think about using money to compensate me. It's not over! I tell you, it's not over!" He was angry and then excited. He endured the pain and said a series of words, feeling that his throat was on fire.
"Mr. An told me that I can deduct the money from your salary, and I think it's okay." Zhou Yang ignored Xu Xiaoming's murderous look, "Don't look at me like that, I'm a useless person."
A small person with no support and no background is not as good as you big bosses who can make all the difference in big cities. However, my life is also life. If I am inexplicably injured in the future, or fall down, or even get injured on the set, seriously injured.
, I will suspect that you are doing something secretly, and I will call the police as soon as possible. Even if I lose consciousness and cannot call the police, others will report it for me. Well, I will give this video to the police station for record purposes...
"
"..." Xu Xiaoming's eyes widened, and he felt like he was going crazy.
What is this guy talking about?
What the fuck is he talking about?
Is this person still a human?
"Your attitude towards me is very bad now. I have every reason to suspect that you will retaliate against me later. The leaders of the bureau also said that this is a possibility... I am very timid and have no choice. I am also a bit clumsy.
I may have said something that offended you, so please don't be angry...Of course I will not apologize, because from beginning to end, I feel that I am right, and everyone in the company also feels that I am right."
Zhou Yang recorded the video meticulously.
The pixels of his mobile phone are not very good, but he has been on the set for a long time, plus studying, and he knows some photography skills.
While recording the video, he took out a "Compensation Agreement" and "Receipt" from his pocket, including ink pads and other things.
Xu Xiaoming was shocked!
What's going on with this guy?
This guy!
"I hope you sign the "Compensation Agreement." Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't sign. I will treat it as if you don't want to reconcile. The leader of the bureau told me that if you don't want to reconcile, we can go through legal procedures on this matter.
, I have asked knowledgeable experts, and the experts said that I will definitely not lose..." Zhou Yang was very serious and told Xu Xiaoming everything he needed to say, "I received one thousand and three four yuan for all expenses.
Mao, of which 40 cents is the money for band-aids. I should pay for it. You can’t lose a penny... This money has been given to me from the company account. This is the receipt. I will keep a copy for the file. Now I will give it to you.
You have a share, you keep it, and we are settled."
"..."
Xu Xiaoming was furious and kept panting like crazy. Especially when Zhou Yang stuffed the receipt into his hand while taking pictures, he almost fainted from anger.
"Okay, I've finished recording what I need to say, I've finished giving what I need to give, let's sign it, oh, I forgot that you can't sign because you're wearing a plaster, so why don't you just print your fingerprints!"
Zhou Yang looked at the plaster in Xu Xiaoming's hand, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized, then took out the ink pad and handed it to Xu Xiaoming, then stared at the ink pad as if he thought of something: "I almost forgot, the money for the ink pad was not included. This
It’s considered as your compensation for me, I won’t take it away, I’ll just leave it here after I’m done with it, um, in this way, I’ll issue you another receipt!”
"!!!"
……………………
Zhou Yang left.
Under Xu Xiaoming's angry, aggrieved and murderous eyes, he took the "Compensation Agreement" and the contract and walked away.
He felt that Zhou Yang was insulting him, especially the serious way he lowered his head to re-open the ink pad receipt. He felt as if Zhou Yang had slapped him hard again.
He wanted to scold Zhou Yang and all the eighteen generations of his ancestors, but the slightest movement of his mouth made him feel heartbroken.
That night, he didn't even know how he got here.
All he knew was that he was living in hatred and despair.
The next day, he finally couldn't help but make a phone call to Zhou Yilin.
He recounted that he was beaten by Zhou Yang!
And endured the pain, he said over and over again that it was because "Zhou Yang" occupied the company's resources that the "Warring States" he was responsible for was not edited well in the later stage, and that it was not even included in the Berlin shortlist. He was angry, so he followed it a little bit.
Zhou Yang moved his hands, but unexpectedly he was severely injured. Even when he was lying on the hospital bed, Zhou Yang was still aggressive towards him.
There was no reply from the other end of the phone.
He suddenly felt uneasy.
""Mineral Bottom" has been shortlisted!"
When he heard this sentence, his pupils shrank and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"I have asked a lawyer to draw up a confidentiality agreement. I will send it over this afternoon. You sign it. If this matter gets bigger, I will pursue you personally."
"Besides, you are no longer a member of the crew. If you should return the things to the crew, someone will come to collect them."
A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
……………………
Southern Shaanxi.
Next to the adobe house.
Feng Kai, who was wearing rags and cotton-padded clothes, heard the phone call in the wind.
Director Wang Shuai is very happy today.
He opened a bottle of liquor, slaughtered a chicken, and cooked it himself.
In the blowing sand, he heard the news that "Under Mine" had been shortlisted for Berlin.
At the same time, there is an indescribable feeling of relief and appreciation.
"This boy is great! It's worth it that I've been cutting him for so long!"
"This time, our Chinese film industry will definitely make a turnaround!"
"..."
vaguely
Wang Shuai seemed to be talking about Zhou Yang.
At this moment, he clenched his fists and became excited!
He wanted to roar loudly and then run all over the mountains and plains.
very excited!
What he participated in the filming and what he took was what he followed!
This time, your crew can take me seriously.
Just when he wanted to cheer, he saw the crew leader Bi Funan walking over.
"From now on, you go to the logistics department to help tidy up the room...make room for the assistant director..."
"Ah?" Feng Kai's eyes widened.
Deputy director?
Am I not the fucking assistant director?
Didn’t you invite me to come here as an assistant director before?
