Volume 1 Chapter 58 My wife is so smart
Wen Xiaomei was unhappy at the time. She waited and waited, and it was already sunset when the screenwriter finally came.
"Mr. Meng, we were arranged by Mr. Lu to come here to meet you."
The woman standing in front of them is the screenwriter of this drama, Meng Ziqi.
He's good-looking, with a bit of baby fat, and seems easy to get along with.
In fact, as soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Mengxue could tell that this woman was difficult to communicate with.
The planner also came with her.
Yajing and others stood not far away and watched the show.
Meng Ziqi sneered when she heard it: "You are using President Lu to pressure me? Even if President Lu is standing in front of me now, he has to be polite to me. Who do you think you are?"
She then asked, "Which school did you graduate from? What works have you directed before?"
"I don't want my hard work to be wasted by some random people."
Planner Xiaoxi also said: "Sister Qi, didn't we agree to let Director Ya shoot it? Why did you suddenly change the director? Anyway, I didn't receive any notice."
Compared to Wen Xiaomei's chest heaving with anger, Chen Mengxue was much calmer. She had suffered a lot of hardships outside over the years.
I really don't care about this little fuss.
She said calmly, "Teacher Meng, how about this, it's time for dinner, I'll treat you to a meal, and we can talk while we eat."
Meng Ziqi looked at her sideways and said, "Don't try to be so mean. There are so many people who want to get close to me. Who do you think you are?"
Chen Mengxue didn't care and continued, "I think it's like this. Whether you agree or not, it's a foregone conclusion that I will direct this drama. Why don't we work together? If it becomes a hit, it will be good for you, too. What do you think?"
However, Meng Ziqi didn't buy it at all. "Why, soft tactics don't work, so you're going to use hard tactics? You have enough tricks. If you want me to cooperate with you, agree to one condition."
Now, Yajing and others standing aside became anxious. Why was it different from the script they had agreed on last night?
Didn’t we agree that they would give up when faced with difficulties?
As long as Chen Mengxue and others can't stand the humiliation and give up voluntarily, this drama will definitely be directed by Yajing.
“Ahem!”
Yajing coughed dryly, walked over and deliberately said, “Hey! Director Shen, you are a senior, how could you be interested in such a small script?”
Wen Xiaomei had been patient with them for a long time, and suddenly burst out: "You are deliberately making things difficult for us one by one, what do you want to do? Or do you not listen to what Mr. Lu says?"
One of the two men who followed Yajing in last night said with a smile on his face, "Boss Lu also has to rely on us. It's such a big company. Without us to generate income for her, how do you think the company can make a profit?"
At this time, Lu Xingyue had already walked to the entrance of the director department. Hearing this, a chill appeared in her beautiful eyes. It seemed that these people needed a lesson, otherwise they would not know the name of Xingyue Pictures.
Chen Mengxue had her back to her, her slender and weak back was straight, and she remained calm even when everyone around her was squeezing her.
Sure enough, a woman who could be favored by Mr. Lu must be extraordinary.
She was not in a hurry to go up, wanting to see how her sister-in-law handled it.
Chen Mengxue grabbed the furious Xiaomei and said in a deep voice: "What are the conditions? Tell me!"
Meng Ziqi's eyes turned, "It's not impossible to want my script. How about this, I will be the director, and you will help me. Of course, your name will only appear on the list of assistants. Are you willing?"
"What?"
Yajing finally understood that Meng Ziqi was very ambitious and wanted to become a great director like her teacher!
Once the time is right, even if she leaves Xingyue Pictures, she will be able to quickly gain a foothold and her future will be limitless.
"Mr. Meng, if you want to direct, you can find me. Am I not much better than her?"
"Yes, we would too."
Meng Ziqi turned a deaf ear to their words and just stared at Chen Mengxue.
She knew it last night and went back to check Chen Mengxue's personal information.
Upon checking, she was pleasantly surprised.
The drama starring Chen Mengxue later became a hit on various short video platforms.
However, Chen Mengxue disappeared and was hidden by the company.
However, we cannot deny her talent!
Chen Mengxue was constantly weighing in her heart that to create a hit, the right time, right place and right people are all essential.
Success depends on hard work, but it also requires luck.
"How about this, Mr. Meng wants to get involved, which is a good thing in itself. I won't be stingy, so I'll give you the position of assistant director. If you agree, we can cooperate. If you don't agree, I think there's no need to continue the discussion."
She seized upon Meng Ziqi's inner desires and retreated to advance.
She was sure that Meng Ziqi had approached other directors before and was still just a screenwriter, so other people would not agree to her request so readily.
Meng Ziqi stood there, his face uncertain, obviously thinking.
This drama is her best work written over the years, and she is 90% sure that it will be a hit on all platforms.
Otherwise, Yajing wouldn't have insisted on it.
It's not like she's the only screenwriter in the company.
Chen Mengxue changed her position instantly and took the initiative.
"How about it? You can think about it carefully."
She remained calm and composed throughout, and every word she said was just right, and she mastered the rhythm of the negotiations.
At this moment, the man next to Yajing spoke again:
"Teacher Meng, don't agree to her. She's a newbie who knows nothing and will only waste your hard work. It's better to cooperate with Director Ya. This is a win-win situation!"
Lu Xingyue walked in with long legs and smiled coldly: "Zhong Xufei, what do you want to do?"
"Don't you all have work to do? What are you doing here? Or is it that the company can't continue without you?"
"Mr. Lu, why are you here?" Yajing bowed and greeted him.
"Mr. Lu, that's not what I meant." Zhong Xufei quickly explained.
“Mr. Lu, I…” Meng Ziqi was about to speak when she was interrupted.
Lu Xingyue was wearing a Chanel suit and had a strong aura when she walked over.
She interrupted her with a sharp shout, "Have you grown wings? You want to fly solo, right?"
She looked around: "Do you still think I'm too lenient with you guys? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
Everyone was confused: What happened to Mr. Lu today? Suddenly so strong?
Meng Ziqi's round face immediately froze in fear and became uneasy.
Mr. Lu was very dissatisfied with her.
"Even if Avril was standing here, she wouldn't have such a bad temper like you guys? And you guys, once you have some achievements, you start to get cocky. The company will go bankrupt without you, right?"
She scolded him harshly: "You, you, and you, have all signed contracts with the company. It is stipulated in the contract that Party B must unconditionally obey Party A's arrangements. What? You want to break the contract, right?"
Now everyone present, who had just spoken, broke out in cold sweats and was too frightened to move.
Breach of contract? They had never thought about, nor dared to think about, causing trouble with the largest film and television company in Haicheng?
Where does the confidence come from?
In private, my self-confidence is swollen and I am indeed a little arrogant, but if I really want to do it, no one dares to do it.
“Meng Ziqi, I order you to cooperate with Director Shen’s work unconditionally now, immediately, and immediately. She is your direct leader and has the right to order you to do anything, including modifying the script. Do you understand?”
“Wow~Wow—”
Meng Ziqi was so scared that she cried!
The planner who was standing with her quickly supported her.
Lu Xingyue ignored him and continued to stare at Yajing with cold eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Yajing, do you remember what happened when you first came to the company?"
