For three days, Mu Qingqing didn't go to the studio. She just asked Cheng Qi to write a letter from her lawyer to the producer, saying that she would resign from the film and would be willing to bear all the compensation and losses. Then she disappeared completely and turned off the phone, and her email was still unread.
For the time being, the film company did not make any response or public response, and Mu Qingqing was completely unaware of the current situation of the crew, until producer Lin personally found the door.
At that time, Mu Qingqing was sitting in the garden drinking coffee in a sweater. Mo Liancheng was leaning on the reclining chair and looking through the books related to finance and economics. A few gardeners are not far away to trim their scissors. The water in the fountain refracts the sunlight into many different colors, and then puts it back on the ground. In front of them, this picture of quiet years is better than sound.
Steward Tang stood by the French window of the living room, unconsciously smiling. If it wasn't for producer Lin's repeated entreaties that he would not have left, steward Tang didn't want to disturb the young master and his wife.
Seeing producer Lin standing at the door with a large basket of fruits and sweating, Mu Qingqing also guessed his intention.
"Producer Lin, drink tea..." Mu Qingqing pushed the cup in front of producer Lin with a light air. Mo Liancheng is still reading in the garden, while Mu Qingqing and producer Lin are back in the living room of the villa, because producer Lin is looking for mu Qingqing, not Mo Liancheng.
Producer Lin nodded his head, and there was still a big, crumbling sweat bead on his temples. It can be seen that he must have had a hard time in the past few days.
"Mrs. Mo, I came to see you today. I didn't come to have tea, so I'd like to say something directly. The crew's side..."
"if you're here for tea, I'm welcome. But if you're here to talk about the movie, I can't help you. As for all the affairs of the crew, I have left it to my agent. As for the liquidated damages and damages, it is more convenient for us to negotiate through lawyers. " Mu Qingqing raised his hand and interrupted producer Lin's words with a slightly cold tone.
Seeing that Mu Qingqing's attitude seemed to have no room for discussion, the sweat on filmmaker Lin's forehead seemed to be heavier. He kept pushing the sliding spectacle frame on the bridge of his nose, and said with a plaintive cry, "Oh, Mrs. Mo, you are going to kill me!"
"What's going on? The man and the woman in a play suddenly quit at the same time. The key is that it has already started shooting more than half of the time. The director is suffering from a heart attack and is taking oxygen in the hospital at the moment."
"What can I do! The crew is in a mess now. All the schedules and appointments are crashing one after another. I really want to crash to death! "
Mu Qingqing knew that song Yanshu had also resigned from the play. Ironically, it turned out to be the last tacit understanding between them.
"Mrs. Mo, please give me a face. If it's a pay thing, you can open it. As long as the play can be released smoothly, you'll let me do my best. I don't complain! If you have other concerns, the crew can meet them unconditionally. We are good at communicating with each other. "
"Mrs. Mo, I'm really desperate. Even if we go through the legal process, there is a limit on the compensation that can be obtained here. But those investors are all rushing to you and song Yanshu. I can't afford to offend you! "
Mu Qingqing was a little agitated. The reason for this was that she could not tell producer Lin, so she stood up and said, "sorry, I have my personal reasons. It's not convenient to tell you. I'm sorry that this play can't continue to cooperate. No matter what the final court decision is, I will accept it unconditionally. "
"Producer Lin, please come back. I'm tired!"
With that, Mu Qingqing turned to go upstairs. But at this time, there was a thump behind her. Mu Qingqing subconsciously looked back, but was surprised to find that producer Lin had knelt down for her.
Suddenly, Mu Qingqing was terrified and asked the servant to help him.
"What are you doing? If you have something to say, what have you done?" Mu Qingqing was really worried and angry and flustered. At this time, Mo Liancheng also heard the sound and came in and put the book on the table.
When producer Lin saw Mo Liancheng come in, he begged bitterly, "Mr. and Mrs. Mo, I'll ask you. If you don't play this play, I'll have no way to live. I'll bet everything on me!"
It is undeniable that producer Lin is really interested in this play and has put a lot of energy into it.
"I..." Mu Qingqing is a little embarrassed. She is the first time to face such a human offensive. In the past, contract disputes have always been legal battles. That is a lot easier, and it will not let Mu Qingqing have such a big psychological pressure.
Mo Liancheng suddenly grabbed Mu Qingqing, and his eyes were soft. "I know you like the script of this play and the role. Since it's something you want to do, you should have a beginning and a ending. Why don't you stick to it?"
"But Liancheng, you know I don't want to..." on the one hand, Mu Qingqing doesn't know how to face song Yanshu again. On the other hand, she doesn't want to make Mo Liancheng feel uncomfortable. This is her worry and an important reason for her determination to resign.Lin Zhipi knelt down beside the sofa, his eyebrows twisted into a knot that couldn't be untied. Because the distance was a little far, he couldn't hear what Mo Liancheng and Mu Qingqing were saying at the moment. But the restless heart is always beating wildly, even in the early spring, which is still cold enough to make him keep sweating.
Mo Liancheng interrupts Mu Qingqing, gently grasps Mu Qingqing's hand and rubs it into the warm palm. "Remember, it's not you who do the wrong thing. Whether it's emotion or stumbling, escaping will only make the status quo worse. It's better to face it calmly, do what you should do, live a leisurely life, don't need to live so hard, you and I!"
Every word of Mo Liancheng poked into the sensitive area of Mu Qingqing's heart. Everyone was constantly changing, but some people were growing up and gradually becoming warm. Some people, however, in the cracks between time and emotion, gradually exposed their nature and became ferocious.
At least, Mu Qingqing saw the change of Molian city and saw his gradually mellow edges and corners.
In the end, Mu Qingqing promised Lin that he would withdraw his lawyer's letter and insist on completing the play. As for song Yanshu, Mu Qingqing can't do anything. No matter whether he can persuade song Yanshu to come back, Mu Qingqing will only do his part, that's all.
For producer Lin, it's not easy. He keeps bowing to thank Mu Qingqing. A big man is in such a mess. It's really hard for him to bear it.
