Chapter 238： What should be done

Li Zhenzhen has no other choice for her except Mengli.

Lu Yanhe and others were stunned when they heard that Meng Li was leaving.

Li Zhibai immediately said: "She goes her way, and I go mine."

“Wait a moment, don’t be impatient.” Lu Yanhe said.

Li Zhibai looked at him doubtfully.

He did not expect that Lu Yanhe would stop him from leaving at this time.

The main thing is his temper. Both Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang know that they rarely go against his temper when he gets angry.

Lu Yanhe said to Li Zhenzhen: "Sister Zhenzhen, you go to see Mengli first. Li Zhibai won't leave for the time being. You deal with things there first."

Li Zhenzhen showed gratitude, nodded to them, and finally said to Li Zhibai: "Zhibai, don't leave in a hurry. If you have anything to say, please tell her. Our show will start recording on the first day. If you want to leave, she If we leave, we won’t be able to record this show.”

She took a serious look at Li Zhibai.

Lu Yanhe knew that Li Zhenzhen’s last words must have softened Li Zhibai’s heart.

Li Zhibai is like this. If you are tough with him, he will be tougher than you, but if you are soft with him, he will have far fewer ways to resist.

As soon as Li Zhenzhen left, Lu Yanhe turned back and looked at Li Zhibai.

"Today at noon, the conflict between you and Meng Li is on the table. Everyone knows that you are leaving at this time. Not to mention the people who recorded the program, what will the audience think when the program is broadcast? ? Do they think you left out of anger?" Lu Yanhe advised, "You signed a contract with the program team, and you were not afraid of losing money if you temporarily broke the contract, but you can't recover your reputation. Are you afraid? ?”

Li Zhibai took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yanhe impatiently.

Li Zhibai always said that he would quit the entertainment industry if it was a big deal, but if he really had no nostalgia for this place, he would have quit long ago. Why would he stay here until now?

Li Zhibai definitely likes the job of an artist. He and Zhou Ping'an fought hard and hated each other. Several years later, they still stayed in this place.

If you don’t really like it, with Li Zhibai’s family background, there is no need to stay in this industry.

So, although Li Zhibai was impatient, he listened to what Lu Yanhe said.

Yan Liang was also trying to persuade Li Zhibai, saying: "Xiao Lu is right, you are leaving now. We know you don't want to record the show with Meng Li, but we don't know about this, and we thought you were being raped." Mengli was driven away, can you accept it?"

Li Zhibai immediately glared and said, "She has the ability to drive me away."

"That's it." Yan Liang said, "You don't want others to see it this way, so how can you leave?"

With the cooperation of Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang, Li Zhibai was finally appeased.

-

On the other side, Mengli glared angrily at the several program staff who stopped her, and got furious.

"Why are you stopping me? Are you interfering with my personal freedom? Get out of the way, get out of my way!" She stamped her feet and shouted angrily.

When Li Zhenzhen arrived in a hurry, what he saw was such a picture.



"Ms. Meng, I'm here. If you need anything, please tell me." Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath and gave several staff members a look to tell them to leave first and go outside the door.

Li Zhenzhen walked up to Meng Li, lowered her voice and said, "Miss Meng, let's sit down and talk, okay?"

 Mengli glanced at Li Zhenzhen and twisted his head, "We have nothing to say. Agreeing to record this crappy show of yours is the decision I regret most this year."

"Why do you say that?" Li Zhenzhen said angrily, "Did you and Li Zhibai have conflicts before? If there is a conflict, we can talk about it and see if we can resolve the conflict."

"Director, this is a matter between Li Zhibai and I. Why do you think we can resolve the conflict?" Meng Li glanced at Li Zhenzhen impatiently and said, "I knew you had Li Zhibai in this show. I will definitely not attend.”

Li Zhenzhen saw ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.

Forget about the other guests, you signed the contract only after you already knew the entire lineup!

Unlike other artist guests, Mengli debuted early and had the highest status among these young people. In addition, her personality and topic were very popular. Therefore, Li Zhenzhen and Chen Biqiu finally made an exception and let Mengli know what was going on. The list of artists who will participate in this show - she will not come unless she knows who the person recording the show is with, otherwise she will never come.

In order to get her, Chen Biqiu and Li Zhenzhen even "visited the thatched cottage three times". Now, this person has indeed lived up to expectations and shown a distinctive character and has done a lot of things. But now it seems that it is not just that, and the show is almost over. It's going to be pornographic. If Meng Li and Li Zhibai really quit the show on the first day of recording, then this show can be pronounced dead in advance.

Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath and advised himself to be calm and not to be irritated by Meng Li's attitude. Do whatever you want.

She said to Meng Li: "Ms. Meng, in this world, there is no contradiction that cannot be reconciled. You and Li Zhibai also collaborated on the movie "Accompany You to the End of the World", right? Everyone is entertaining You're just a bastard, and I don't think you two can even live in harmony, right? Otherwise, you would have just left when we first met in the morning."

Meng Li looked at Li Zhenzhen with a strange expression on his face and said, "You are really interesting. I have to break up with Li Zhibai as soon as I meet him to be considered as really not dealing with him, right? I'll tell him directly as well." Make it clear, this show is either Li Zhibai or I leave. I will never stay here to record this show with him. You can make your own decision."

After Meng Li finished speaking, he waved his hand and said to Li Zhenzhen: "Okay, you don't have to stay here to say anything to me anymore. I have said everything I want to say. If you can't solve this problem, I will definitely leave." Yes, it’s no use forcing me to stay here. You don’t have to worry about the liquidated damages, I will definitely pay them.”

Li Zhenzhen has dealt with many artists. There are many artists with personalities and tempers, but Li Zhenzhen has never seen someone as difficult to deal with as Mengli.

She found that she couldn't communicate normally with Mengli. No matter what you said to her, she was immersed in her own world and logic. Once what you said was not what she wanted, she would think there was something wrong with you.

Li Zhenzhen saw the determined expression on Meng Li's face and thought that nothing he could say would be of any use, so he left without saying more.

-

“What did Mengli say?”

As soon as she returned to the workroom, Chen Biqiu asked her.

Li Zhenzhen briefly explained the situation, and Chen Biqiu immediately smiled and said, "Mengli is pretending to leave, but Li Zhibai is really leaving."

Li Zhenzhen looked puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Chen Biqiu said: "You have to learn to listen to what these people say. What do they really want to say? Look, Li Zhibai said he wanted to leave. Did he negotiate any conditions with you? He packed his suitcase and prepared to leave. , didn’t say a word, and didn’t make any trouble. Look at Meng Li, who made a big move and let everyone know that she was leaving. In the end, she also said, either Li Zhibai leaves, or she leaves, she I’m really making conditions for you.”

As soon as Chen Biqiu said this, Li Zhenzhen instantly understood what Chen Biqiu meant.

Looking back and thinking about it, this is really the case.

Li Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Why did Mengli do this? I don't understand. She just wants to force Li Zhibai away?"

"Forcing her to leave is of course good, but not forcing her to leave can also establish her status in this show. Between her and Li Zhibai, who is the top artist." Chen Biqiu said, "We They are the two most popular people in this show. With old hatred and new competition, it is not difficult to understand why she is so crazy. "

Li Zhenzhen asked: “Then what should we do?”

"Li Xia is on her way over. Let her agent negotiate with her later." Chen Biqiu said, "For such young and famous artists, you must not expect to be able to communicate rationally with them. To put it mildly, They have all been coaxed out of their minds by the company and the team. In their world, the whole world revolves around them. For typical people who have never suffered a severe beating in life, just look for their team. Artists’ problems make the team to communicate.”

Li Zhenzhen asked: “What if the team can’t handle it?”

“We have all signed a contract. If they can’t handle it, just follow the contract.” Chen Biqiu said, “If you really don’t cooperate, then quit the show. At worst, we’ll find someone else.”

In Chen Biqiu's words, it seemed that it didn't matter even if Meng Li really wanted to leave.

Li Zhenzhen said: "But if Meng Li leaves, do we have to temporarily find other artists to be guests?"

"Why not?" Chen Biqiu said, "By then, the topics for the first episode will be already there. Meng Li and Li Zhibai will have a conflict and quit the show. Just these few words will make this show explode."

Li Zhenzhen looked like he was about to speak but hesitated.

"Really, don't you want to make a show that really focuses on young people living together and socializing? Arguments and conflicts are also a kind of social interaction. For other variety shows, these are scenes and shots that are rare to find. You can meet her on the first day, don't let it down." Chen Biqiu said this directly.     This is a statement that is very consistent with Chen Biqiu's style.

Li Zhenzhen fell into silence. After a while, she said: "In this way, this show has been quarreling and fighting since the first episode."

Chen Biqiu asked: "Why not?"

Li Zhenzhen glanced at Chen Biqiu in surprise and said, "But, this is different from the show I want to do."

"No program can be produced exactly according to the original presets. During the recording process, too many unpredictable things will happen. You know this very well." Chen Biqiu said, "Really, I I know you are an idealistic person, and I appreciate this trait in you. However, now that the show has started filming, it is not easy for artists to put together schedules, and the daily expenses are quite high. No matter how low the cost of variety shows is, once Tens of millions of dollars have been invested in the filming. This is not a time for you to be indecisive. You are now the director of this show and you have to be responsible for everyone. "

-

—You are responsible for everyone.

This sentence was like a mountain, suppressing everything Li Zhenzhen wanted to say.

That's what responsibility is. You think you have the power, but in fact you also bear the responsibility.

-

Zhou Ping'an and Li Xia rushed over one after another. What was unexpected was that Chen Ziyan also appeared.

Lu Yanhe didn’t even know that Chen Ziyan would show up, and was very surprised.

Li Zhenzhen also asked Lu Yanhe if he had called Chen Ziyan over. Lu Yanhe shook his head and said no.

As soon as several agents showed up, they went to a meeting next door with Chen Biqiu and Li Zhenzhen.

Although Li Zhibai and Meng Li caused such a big fuss, the show still needs to be filmed. If it is not filmed, it will be a waste of time.

Except for Mengli who refused to let the photographer continue to follow, everyone else was still shooting normally.

Everyone would inevitably talk about this matter, but they did not expect that even though it was this time, the photographer was still following them.

And in places where photographers are not following, there are also cameras with fixed positions.

Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang have been accompanying Li Zhibai beside him.

Peng Zhixing sent a message to Lu Yanhe and asked: How is Li Zhibai's current situation? I heard that he and Meng Li were both clamoring to leave. Can we still continue recording?

Lu Yanhe saw the message from Peng Zhixing and said to Li Zhibai: "Brother Bai, you are a responsible person. Even if you want to leave this show, at least complete this recording first. What do you think? Everyone It’s not easy to get the time together, and you just left so easily, and even the liquidated damages can’t make up for the loss of the program team.”

Li Zhibai was a little impatient and said, "Let's film, let's film. As long as we don't have to film with Meng Li, I'll finish this recording before leaving."

Sure enough, Li Zhibai is still the sharp-tongued Li Zhibai.

The staff who were watching the photography of Li Zhibai’s room in the workroom were relieved when they heard their conversation.

At least one has been stabilized for now.

Chen Biqiu and Li Zhenzhen both went to a meeting with their agents, and Zheng and Song were in charge of the overall situation in the workroom.

Some people are inevitably worried and ask: "If Li Zhibai and Meng Li really leave this show, what will we do? Can this show continue to be filmed?"

Zheng Hesong immediately said: "Why can't we continue filming? Even if Li Zhibai and Meng Li stop filming, there will still be Lu Yanhe and Song Linxin. They are both quasi-A-list popular stars now. Besides, With Li Zhibai and Meng Li gone, we can just find other artists. As long as the show is good and has hits, we don’t have to worry about not having an audience.”

For a variety show, this kind of thing is much easier to deal with than the crew of the filming.

  Film and television crews cannot modify the script at will. If the actors choose to choose, it will really cause a lot of losses. However, there is no established script for variety shows. If a guest really leaves halfway, if it doesn't work, just replace it.

Zheng Hesong was a little excited and said, "Think about it, if something like this happens, the conflict between two popular A-list stars, who are the stars of the just-released drama "With You to the End of the World", this topic, this popularity, it's hard to imagine Don’t worry, the first issue will definitely explode.”

“Can their team air this segment?”

"You ask such a question, which means you underestimate Mr. Chen's ability. Why does every show Mr. Chen makes so popular? It's because he dares to film and broadcast, and will never give in to the unreasonable demands of the artist team. "As long as the material is popular, it will be broadcast," Zheng Heshen said, "Don't worry, the director is Li Zhenzhen, the actual helmsman of this show is still Teacher Chen."

-

Peng Zhixing called everyone in the crowd to gather downstairs.

He didn't know if Li Zhibai and Meng Li would come downstairs, but he didn't want to watch everyone being affected by this incident and then waste time.

What Peng Zhixing didn't expect was that Li Zhibai actually followed Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang down.

To be precise, it was Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang who dragged him down.

"Don't act like you're unsociable. You're just quarreling with Mengli, not with anyone else. Why should you let others be affected by your affairs?" Lu Yanhe said to Li Zhibai, "It's still delayed when we talk about your affairs. You've taken away everyone's time and affected everyone's mood, so you'd better apologize to everyone."

Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe with a bewildered expression, not expecting that he would say this.

Lu Yanhe: "Don't look at me like that, Yan Liang, do you think what I said makes sense?"

“You’re right.” Yan Liang nodded and said to Li Zhibai with the same firm expression, “You can apologize to everyone later.”

Li Zhibai had a "why" expression on his face.

But Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang were very determined and Li Zhibai could not refuse.

As soon as Li Zhibai appeared, everyone else's expressions were a little embarrassed.

I guess I wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask.

After Li Zhibai sat down, he shrugged his shoulders angrily and said, "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay." Xiao Yun probably smiled out of habit, but his smile looked awkward, "As long as you and Mengli are fine."

"Oh, no, I have nothing to do with her." Li Zhibai said, "I just want to apologize to you."

Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly widened and he didn't know what to say.

Her eyes rolled around and looked at the others, as if she wanted to ask others to talk and save the situation, but she didn't know how to respond.

Lu Yanhe helplessly explained to Li Zhigoogleo: "What he means is that the matter between him and Mengli is only between the two of them and has nothing to do with us. Please don't worry, and don't worry about the disagreement between the two of them. Being happy has affected our own mood, Brother Zhixing, what were we planning to do this afternoon?”

Peng Zhixing said: "What I originally thought was that we would buy some ingredients together in the afternoon, walk around and get familiar with the environment, and then we would all cook dinner together in the evening."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, "How about we set off later."

Peng Zhixing asked: "Your agents are here? Don't you have to wait for them?"

Everyone knows that Li Zhibai and Meng Li are leaving, and they all think that it is pending. How can we continue to record them?

Lu Yanhe said: "The agent discusses the agent's thing, and we do our thing. Well, we can't stop recording right after we start recording."

Although Li Zhibai looked reluctant, he did not refuse.

So, the group of people prepared to go out with different expressions.

Li Zhibai is still responsible for driving.

“The nearest supermarket is ten kilometers away from us.” Peng Zhixing said, “Let’s go.”

As he finished speaking, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps on the stairs.

I saw Mengli running downstairs with red and swollen eyes. He pointed at them in disbelief and said, "Are you just ganging up to bully me like this?" (End of Chapter)
