Li Rongqi knew very well that Zhao Gang's words had offended He Jin. The result was obvious. Even if the crew was finished, He Jin would never agree to Zhao Gang's proposal for his own face.
Since it was already like this, he might as well do him a favor.
As for Zhao Gang, from the fight just now, Li Rongqi could see that he was just an idiot without any shrewdness. Xiao Yunhai provoked him a little and made him lose his sense of propriety. Li Rongqi would not be afraid of such a person.
What's more, Zhao Gang was probably backed by the crown prince of Hongda, Xia Chengfeng. Whether Zhao Gang refunded or not, he would be fine with Xia Chengfeng's protection.
And he was just a financial manager sent by Pengpai Entertainment. He had no right to withdraw without permission. It was okay to threaten him verbally, but once the news spread to the company, he would be finished immediately. It was not worth it for a newcomer.
He Jin saw that Zhao Gang was forced to the edge of the cliff. He got up and said, "Mr. Zhao, does your company want to refund the investment?"
"I …" Zhao Gang was speechless for a moment.
"If you can't make the decision, then call and ask for instructions. I, He Jin, have made some movies and have been in the entertainment industry for decades. Although I haven't made any great achievements, I'm not someone who can be easily manipulated. I, as the director, have the final say in the crew. It's better for others not to interfere, so as not to embarrass everyone. Huang Bo's role as Hu Tiehua will not change, and Xia Xiaohu's role as Wuhua will not change. Well, if there's nothing else, everyone is dismissed. "
After He Jin finished speaking, he walked out of the meeting room first. Li Xu and Qin Yunyi, who had been silent, nodded to everyone and followed him out.
In the meeting room, only Xiao Yunhai, Cai Pingya, Zhao Gang and Li Rongqi were left.
Zhao Gang looked at Xiao Yunhai, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't be complacent too early. There's still a long way to go before the film is finished. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I just don't understand. I, Xiao Yunhai, only didn't sell the copyright of the song to him. Does he hate me that much? Why do you have to use all sorts of methods to deal with me? Now that you can't deal with me, you come looking for trouble with my friend. Isn't he tired? "
Zhao Gang snorted, "Some people are destined to soar into the Nine Heavens. You, a tiny ant, dared to reject him. That is a great humiliation to him. "
Cai Pingya interjected, "Are you talking about Xia Chengfeng? He's the most shameless person in Hongda. "
Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Miss Cai, please show some respect to Mr. Xia."
Cai Pingya spat. Her eyes emitted a bone-deep hatred as she said: "Respect? Tell me, what is it about him that people respect? Just because of the dirty things he did? "
Xiao Yunhai didn't expect that Cai Pingya, who was usually so lady-like, would immediately turn into a tigress baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at the mention of Xia Chengfeng. It felt as if she couldn't wait to eat him up. It seemed like Xia Chengfeng had a lot of enemies in the entertainment industry.
"Miss Cai, how can you say that?" Li Rongqi stood up and said.
Cai Pingya said, "Director Li, we're all from Pengpai Entertainment. We should help each other. Huang Bo, the newcomer, I'll protect him. I hope you can help me. "
When Li Rongqi heard that, he thought to himself, "She's asking me to pick a side."
As the deputy director of Pengpai Entertainment's finance department, Li Rongqi had always been the best at taking advantage of the situation. In the company, he had long heard about Cai Pingya's matters. He felt that she was overestimating herself by repeatedly finding trouble with Xia Chengfeng.
However, he didn't expect that in the past few years, Cai Pingya had never lost to him in any of their musical clashes. Regarding this, Li Rongqi was still very impressed. After all, Xia Chengfeng had the entire Hongda behind him, while Cai Pingya mainly relied on her own abilities.
Li Rongqi knew how to conduct himself. He would never offend Cai Pingya for no reason. This was because he felt that a woman like Cai Pingya, who exuded endless charm from head to toe, might become a phoenix one day. At that time, if she turned around and wanted to deal with him, he would be done for.
Therefore, when he heard Cai Pingya's words, Li Rongqi quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart. He made a prompt decision and said, "With Miss Cai's status in the entertainment industry, it's easy for her to protect someone. I'll definitely support her. "
When Zhao Gang heard Li Rongqi's words, he immediately panicked. "Li Rongqi, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree on this? You actually changed your mind now. "
Li Rongqi said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao. I didn't know Miss Cai's position before. Now that I know, I'll naturally follow her lead. "
Zhao Gang's expression became extremely ugly. He said hatefully, "Good, very good. Let's wait and see."
With a bang, Zhao Gang slammed the door and left.
Xiao Yunhai said to Cai Pingya, "Sister Cai, I thank you on behalf of Huang Bo."
Cai Pingya shook her head and smiled. "You're welcome. I'm also doing this for myself. I like to do anything that can make Xia Chengfeng suffer. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled faintly and thought, "No wonder they say that you should never offend a woman. Once a woman hates someone, it's simply too scary. "
When Xiao Yunhai returned to the room, he found Huang Bo pacing back and forth in front of the door, looking very anxious.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai come back, Huang Bo hurriedly went to greet him. "Third Brother, I heard …"
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and interrupted him. "Let's go inside and talk."
After closing the door, Xiao Yunhai briefly told Huang Bo about the meeting that night. Huang Bo listened with fear and trepidation. Fortunately, Third Brother withstood the pressure. Otherwise, he would have been finished.
Huang Bo said to Xiao Yunhai gratefully, "Third Brother, you helped me again."
"Damn, why are you so polite? Besides, you only got involved in this mess because of me. If I don't help you, who will? By the way, how did you know that this meeting was related to you? "
"It's all because Xia Xiaohu brought Hu Haitao in front of me and said a lot of things to me. Third Brother, what do you think I should do now? Two investors want to take me down. I'm afraid that Director He won't be able to hold on in the end. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and told him about Cai Pingya again. In the end, he concluded, "You can rest easy now. Director He won't touch you for his own face, and Sister Cai will protect you in order to take revenge on Xia Chengfeng. You have the two biggest cards in the crew to back you up. What are you afraid of? "
"Fourth Brother, don't think about those messy things anymore. The most important thing for you to do is to focus on your acting. As an actor, the one who can speak for you in the end is still your acting. You can only be good when the acting is good. "
Huang Bo nodded and said, "Third Brother, I understand."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "But then again. Since I haven't left yet, let's find a suitable opportunity to invite Director He, Sister Cai, and the others. In the industry, it's very important to learn how to deal with interpersonal relationships. "
Soon, Xiao Yunhai finished shooting most of the scenes with his outstanding acting skills and superb martial arts. There were still a few scenes that couldn't be shot here. They could only wait until the crew moved to other places in the future, and Xiao Yunhai would come back to make up the remaining scenes.
As for Zhao Gang, Xia Xiaohu, and the others, they also stopped looking for trouble with Xiao Yunhai and Huang Bo. Hu Haitao, on the other hand, found out from Xia Xiaohu that his good thing was ruined, and he was even more hostile towards Xiao Yunhai. However, he didn't dare to take action. After all, this was the crew, not the school.
On the night that Xiao Yunhai finished filming, he and Huang Bo invited He Jin, Cai Pingya, Qin Yunyi, and a few other good friends to dinner and asked them to help take care of Huang Bo. Then, they left Hengdian Film City at three in the morning.
