Yenching Film Institute - President's Office
Zhuang Bin was sitting behind his desk, wearing a pair of reading glasses. He was reading a notebook seriously.
Opposite him were Wu Hao and Fatty, who were dressed in suits and ties. They looked like successful people. The two of them sat on the sofa, staring at Zhuang Bin.
As time passed, Zhuang Bin's face became worse and worse. When he turned to the last page, his face was livid, his body was trembling, and his chest was heaving up and down. Obviously, he was very angry.
"Bang!"
After Zhuang Bin finished reading the book, he suddenly stood up and slapped the table hard. He scolded angrily, "How dare you!"
Zhuang Bin's violent reaction scared Wu Hao and Fatty. They stood up unconsciously.
Zhuang Bin looked at the two of them and waved his hand. He sat down again and said, "Sorry, I lost my composure just now. I didn't expect that my students would have the guts to do such an illegal thing. They are really audacious. Please wait for a moment. I'll ask them to come here. "
Zhuang Bin calmed down and called Wu Zhiguo, the director of the Department of Directing, and asked him to ask Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen to come to his office.
Five minutes later, Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen walked into the office in high spirits.
Yesterday, "Regret of Youth" had only been screened three times, and the box office was more than 15 million yuan. This made the two of them very excited, and they looked like they were proud of their success.
Zhuang Bin looked at the two of them and secretly shook his head. He thought to himself, "Compared to Xiao Yunhai, these two people's talent, temperament, and mentality are all far inferior. 'Charlotte's Troubles' earned more than a billion yuan in revenue, and they didn't even have the slightest bit of complacency. These two only earned 15 million yuan at the box office, and they're already so proud. It really makes people speechless. "
Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen greeted the headmaster politely. Wang Wei asked, "Headmaster, why did you call us here?"
Zhuang Bin narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them for a long time, until they were a little scared. Then, he said, "Wang Wei, Zhao Zhen, do you know that you will be sentenced for infringing other people's copyrights?"
Piaopao's light words caused Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen to tremble, their expressions changing drastically.
"What do you mean? Does the principal know anything? "
"Didn't you say that there would be no problem?"
"Did Director Wu say something to the principal?"
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through their minds. They even forgot to answer the principal's question.
Zhuang Bin looked at their panicked expressions. How could he not know what had happened?
He slammed the table and said sternly, "You two are really bold. He actually dared to take the script written by Mr. Wang Minzhi as his own. He was simply lawless. Tell me, what is going on? "
When Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen heard that the principal even knew the name of the original author of "Regret of Youth," they did not dare to hide anything. They told the principal everything about how Hu Changsheng had secretly given them the script.
After hearing the whole story, Zhuang Bin was so angry that he laughed and said, "Good, good, good, very good. One is the vice-principal, the other is the director of the directing department. They are indeed good teachers of our Yenching Film Institute. "
Zhuang Bin picked up the phone and dialed. He said in a deep voice, "Old Hu, come over with Director Wu. I have something to talk to you about."
After putting down the phone, Zhuang Bin pointed to the right corner and said, "You two, stand over there."
Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. They lowered their heads and stood aside obediently.
After a while, Hu Changsheng and Wu Zhiguo walked in one after another.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Hu Changsheng smiled and said, "Headmaster, you were looking for us."
Zhuang Bin looked at Hu Changsheng's smiling face and wanted to slap him.
He pointed at Wu Hao and said coldly, "Vice-principal Hu, I asked you to come over this time because I want to introduce you to someone."
Hu Changsheng felt that the principal's tone was not good, as if he was holding back a lot of anger. He asked carefully, "Who is this student? To be able to make the principal pay so much attention to him. "
Zhuang Bin said, "His name is Wu Hao. He is a rare young talent. You should be familiar with his father. He is Mr. Wu Minzhi, who used to have a good relationship with you. "
The name "Wu Minzhi" rang in Hu Changsheng's ears like a clap of thunder. He looked at Wu Hao with a terrified expression. His lips parted slightly, but he did not say a single word.
He completely understood that the main character had come to find him.
Hu Changsheng felt his vision turn black and his body swayed. He quickly held onto the principal's desk to steady himself.
Wu Zhiguo's face was also extremely ugly.
Zhuang Bin said, "Old Hu, Old Wu, you have disappointed me. Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen are young and don't know anything. This is pardonable, but you are both in your forties and fifties. Don't you know anything? Don't you know that this is a crime? You will go to jail. "
Zhuang Bin looked at the two of them and took a deep breath. "Tell me, why did you do this?"
Wu Zhiguo sighed deeply, as if he had aged a few years. He said, "Headmaster, I did this for the honor of the Director Department. If Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen don't get the right to participate in this competition, it will be a huge blow to our Director Department. So … "
Zhuang Bin said, "So even though you knew it was inappropriate, you still nodded and agreed. Old Wu, you are silly. So what if Xiao Yunhai gets the right to participate in this competition? Although he is a student of the Acting Department, he has studied in the Director Department for a full year. Moreover, with Xiao Yunhai's talent, is it that hard to accept being defeated by him? Let's not talk about anything else. Just the results of 'Empresses in the Palace', let alone our school, even if all the directors in Hua Xia were included, which one could compare to him? Old Hu, why did you do this? "
"I … I …"
Hu Changsheng stuttered a few times, but he didn't say anything.
Zhuang Bin snorted and said, "That's enough. Do you think we don't know what you are thinking? Xiao Yunhai and your son Hu Haitao are just fighting over personal feelings. Is there a need for you, the Vice Headmaster, to meddle in this? Moreover, with Xiao Yunhai's status in the entertainment industry, do you think you are qualified to be his opponent? "
Hu Changsheng said, "Headmaster, I was wrong."
Zhuang Bin looked at him deeply and said, "What's the use of apologizing to me?"
Hu Changsheng immediately understood Zhuang Bin's meaning. He turned to Wu Hao and said, "Mr. Wu, seeing that I have a good relationship with your father, please be magnanimous and let us go this time. Don't worry, we won't take a single cent of the profits from this movie. We will give it all to you. Mr. Wu, what do you think? "
Wu Hao heard and smiled, "Do the two directors agree?"
Wang Wei and Zhao Zhen nodded quickly. As long as they didn't go to jail, they would do anything.
Wu Hao said, "Thank you very much. My company is short of money. However, if I take you to court, won't I get more? "
Zhuang Bin frowned and said, "Mr. Wu, since you didn't take them to court and came to me, it means that this matter is negotiable, right?"
As the headmaster of the Yenching Film Institute, Zhuang Bin had to settle this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if word got out, the Yenching Film Institute's reputation would be tarnished. This was much more serious than losing the movie competition.
Wu Hao smiled and said, "Headmaster Zhuang is right. I only have one condition, and that is to meet Mr. Xiao Yunhai. "
Zhuang Bin heard and asked in surprise, "That's it?"
Wu Hao nodded and said, "That's it. Firstly, I am Mr. Xiao's biggest fan. I have long wanted to meet him. Secondly, I have something to discuss with Mr. Xiao. Headmaster, what do you think? "
Zhuang Bin said, "Of course, no problem."
Zhuang Bin picked up the phone and called Yao Wenyuan. He said, "Old Yao, can you ask Xiao Yunhai to come over?"
