Wu Yaqiu really had a hard time making a choice, because Zhang Guozhu had clearly told him that Ye Ning already had a revised plan.
Now Li Xiao and She Hongming are resolute and do not allow Ye Ning to participate in the creation of the script. This means that even if the plan given by Ye Ning is feasible or even better than it is now, there is no way to adopt it.
After all, the two of them have complete ownership of the script.
"Screenwriter Li, we have already signed a contract with Comrade Ye Ning, and even if Comrade Ye Ning gives the revised setting and plot, we still need to finalize it together. If we really can't satisfy everyone by then, we will You can still refuse sometimes.”
Wu Yaqiu tried to persuade the two of them.
Li Xiao scoffed, "No need. Director Wu, you just need to choose whether to continue using our script or keep Ye Ning."
It was a threat, and she knew very well that Wu Yaqiu had no choice.
Zhang Guozhu really couldn't listen anymore, and his face almost drooped to the ground.
"This is unfair to Ye Ning, and you were the ones who asked Ye Ning to speak out yesterday. Ye Ning raised his opinion, but you couldn't accept it. Isn't this inappropriate?"
They simply looked down on Ye Ning, that's why they had this attitude.
"Director Zhang, do you mean that we can't listen to other people's opinions?" Li Xiao couldn't help but raise his voice at the end, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Zhang Guozhu's eyes were sharp, "Isn't it?"
"It depends on who the other party is. If you listen to any random opinions, then there is no need to shoot this movie." Li Xiao's attitude was quite arrogant.
Snapped!
The script in Zhang Guozhu's hand was slapped heavily on the table, making a harsh sound.
"Okay, stop arguing." Wu Yaqiu felt a headache.
Two days have passed. The script has not been perfected at all, and no new development plot has been thought of. Instead, we have been arguing for two days. If this continues for a month, let alone a month, the script will still be the same as it is now.
Li Xiao finally shut up, folded his hands on his chest, and waited for Wu Yaqiu's decision.
After a few minutes of silence, Wu Yaqiu said to Zhang Guozhu with a helpless face: "Guozhu, please inform Comrade Ye Ning that the cooperation is over. This time we are considered a breach of contract, and the liquidated damages will be handled according to what is written in the contract. .”
A satisfied smile appeared on Li Xiao's face. Such a result had long been expected by her.
Looking at She Hongming, both of them looked relaxed.
"If we really talk about it, Ye Ning took advantage. He didn't do anything, so he could get a compensation."
Li Xiao actually added fuel to the fire by making sarcastic remarks.
Zhang Guozhu's face turned pale, he stood up from his seat and walked away.
Wu Yaqiu sighed heavily as he watched his friend leave.
He really didn't expect it, and he didn't want it to be like this.
"Director Wu, screenwriter She and I have a new plot, and now we can continue to discuss it." Li Xiao was obviously prepared, and he instantly attracted Wu Yaqiu's attention.
Ye Ning met Zhang Guozhu on the way to the cafeteria at noon.
Zhang Guozhu looked very ugly and hesitated to speak after seeing her.
Ye Ning was the first to say: "Director Zhang, I have sorted out all the modified settings last night. I can take a look at it with Director Wu during the meeting in the afternoon."
Zhang Guozhu sighed before speaking, "No, I'm sorry for you."
Ye Ning immediately realized something sensitively, "Is there any change?"
Zhang Guozhu nodded stiffly, "Screenwriter Li Xiao insisted that you not allow you to modify their script, but Ya Qiu couldn't resist, so..."
He couldn't say the next words, but Ye Ning already understood.
"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to quit."
Her job is to participate in the screenwriting, and now that the other party has made such a request, it is obvious that they want to kick her out.
Zhang Guozhu was full of apologies, "I originally thought this was an opportunity to learn and practice, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
He really didn't expect that Li Xiao and She Hongming were completely incompetent.
Ye Ning smiled instead of getting angry, "Director Zhang, this has nothing to do with you. No matter whether the subsequent work can be carried out or not, I will thank you this time."
Zhang Guozhu also wanted to laugh, but the expression he finally managed to squeeze out was even uglier than crying.
"Ya Qiu said that they violated the contract first and will pay you liquidated damages."
The amount of liquidated damages was twice the salary for participating in the screenwriting work, but Zhang Guozhu knew that Ye Ning would not care about the money.
"I couldn't help much, so just forget about the liquidated damages."
Sure enough, Ye Ning immediately refused.
She was not able to cooperate with Wu Yaqiu this time, but it did not mean that there would be no chance next time. Naturally, she would not affect her impression of Wu Yaqiu for such a small amount of money.
Zhang Guozhu sighed again, "I will convey it to you."
Although Ye Ning also felt it was a pity, she didn't take it to heart.
But when she met She Hongming and Li Xiao in the cafeteria who also came to eat, and when they saw her and came directly in front of her with a rice tray, she knew that things would not end peacefully.
"Comrade Ye Ning, do you mind if we sit here?"
There were obviously many empty positions around, but Li Xiao chose the opposite side of Ye Ning.
"do not mind."
Putting aside work, Ye Ning didn't have any objections to the two of them.
Before Ye Ning could finish his words, Li Xiao had already sat down, followed closely by She Hongming.
Ye Ning was minding her own business while eating.
"The art troupe is still very enthusiastic. We are invited to come to the cafeteria to dine at any time during the time we are working here." Li Xiao said proactively, not sure if he was talking to Ye Ning.
After saying that, he picked up the potatoes and took a bite, then frowned in disgust.
“The taste is really average, the standard needs to be improved.”
"Of course the canteens in small places cannot be compared with those in big cities. If it doesn't suit your taste, you can find a restaurant outside tomorrow." She Hongming gestured and tasted it.
In fact, it is still possible to enter.
"Yes. No matter how hard a small restaurant works, it can only reach this level. In fact, it is no different from people." Li Xiao's words definitely meant something.
Ye Ning still lowered his head, not wanting to join the conversation between the two.
But the more she wanted to keep a low profile, the more she aroused Li Xiao's superior mentality.
Especially thinking that she criticized the script as worthless yesterday, Li Xiao wanted to regain his face even more.
"Comrade Ye Ning, I'm so sorry. I just signed a contract with you yesterday and you were fired today. In fact, we were too casual in this matter and wasted each other's time and energy."
