  Chapter 448 446. Snow storage

  Liu Zhishi's mind was a little slow today.

  Holding the script in his hand at this moment, the whole person was dumbfounded.

  This script...how could this script, which was plagiarized by Mimi, appear here?

   Let yourself act?

   Liu Zhishi, who only felt his mind was muddled, subconsciously opened his mouth to refuse.

  But the moment she opened her mouth, she suddenly reacted.

  This situation... seems to be the same as before.

  When I first made commercials, I refused because of Mimi. And now she rejects this script because of Mimi...

   Realizing that the two times were the same, she naturally knew... The old rules still don't involve Mimi. She couldn't say where she knew that the script was not only plagiarized from "Scary Step by Step", but also appropriated the characters from "Meteor Garden".

  Because it is impossible for Mr. Cai not to see it.

  If I talk about plagiarism again, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Mr. Cai eye drops?

  So can't say.

   I don’t want to act either.

  A plagiarized work, let me act?

I do not want it.

  Her mood became extremely firm at this moment.

  Not to mention anything else, Mimi has been preparing for an audition for a year.

  Liu Yifei can lock herself in her hometown in the countryside and live an isolated life for a few months for a role.

  Why do I have to play a plagiarized story... and also plagiarized a story about the copyright of a book in the hands of my good friend?

  Why should I humiliate myself like this?

  So, without even thinking about it, she said directly:

   "I don't act."

   "..."

   "..."

  As soon as these words came out, Cai Yinong was taken aback.

  Li Minnian was taken aback.

  ? ? ? ?

   Perhaps it was because the answer she gave was so firm that neither of them could react.

   Even the two of them were in a trance.

  Like the last time... there were three people sitting in this office, and this scene happened, right?

  Have I traveled back in time?

  But this kind of silence didn't last long. Looking at Liu Zhishi who was so resolute, Li Minnian said instinctively:

   "Shishi...You...Listen clearly, I started filming after the filming of "Strange Man", not for you to interfere with the film."

   In a hurry, he could only think of this excuse to make up for it.

  At the same time, he began to wink at Liu Zhishi non-stop.

  Shi Shi! Do you know what you are talking about?

  You have rejected Mr. Cai once! Still refuse now?

  This is not an advertisement, and it has nothing to do with Mimi.

   This is the resource the company gives you!

  How can you say that if you don't act, you won't act... Are you stupid after drinking?

   Sober up, okay?

   His eyes were anxious.

  But Cai Yinong's eyes had once again shown displeasure and absurdity.

  She unconsciously thought again:

   "Am I usually too kind to you?"

   Or... can any cat or dog in this company raise objections to me?

   Or...do you think you are popular?

  Can you ignore my orders and play tricks with me here?

  So, she asked directly:

   "Are you rejecting me? Shishi."

  The words seem simple, but the tone is already full of rain.

  And Liu Zhishi shook his head first:

   "I'm not rejecting President Cai."

   can be followed by the following sentence:

   "I'm rejecting the drama..."

   After finishing speaking, she may feel that her reasons are not convincing, so she added:

   "Or I don't like this screenwriter."

   "..."

   "Shishi!...Cai...Mr. Cai, Shishi doesn't mean that..."

  Li Minnian subconsciously wanted to make amends.

  But Liu Zhishi was even more straightforward:

"Mr. Cai, Yu Zheng started his business by plagiarizing. Don't mention anything else, "The Harem of the Qing Dynasty" is a mixture of "Golden Branch Desire" and the Korean TV series "Dae Jang Geum", and it is still being scolded. I Don't cooperate with this kind of person!... Who knows if he copied the script or not."

   "Boom!"

  Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, the sound of a fist hitting the table resounded in the office.

  Cai Yinong, whose hands were a little red, raised his eyebrows completely:

   "Liu Zhishi, what do you mean!"

   "Mr. Cai, don't be angry, Shishi is not..."

   "Shut up, it's none of your business!"

  Faced with Li Minnian's seeking love again, Cai Yinong's patience was finally completely exhausted.

   "The company gave you a play, when is it your turn to reject it!?"

   It’s actually better that she didn’t say that.

  Liu Zhishi still wanted to have a good talk with Mr. Cai.

  She already knew about the plagiarism of this script from Yang Mi. This kind of pitfall... To put it bluntly, if the company asks an actor who has no bottom line to act, then he will act.

   But the problem is that she is not the kind of person who has no bottom line.

  Although I am not particularly rich...

  As the only daughter of a businessman family with annual income of one million, from the very beginning, her way of retreat is different from others.

  Although it was a bit inappropriate to say this, she didn't mean to look down on others.

   But the fact is, if she is a girl who wants to be popular and crazy, and makes some choices in her heart that go against her conscience or professional ethics at this time, knowing whether it is plagiarism or copying and pasting, she will shoot it.

   Nothing.

   Anyway, I made money.

   But the problem is she is not.

  The filming is over, and she will not starve to death.

  Unable to be an actress, she returned to the dance industry with the name of Beiwu, and was able to open a dance training class with the family's money for the last time.

  So what if you lose money?

  The family has already bought a house for her.

  Father saved her a dowry, not to mention rich and powerful, but also to guarantee that she would stand upright in the man's house after marriage.

  Being an actor is both a job and a hobby.

   But definitely not for those glamorous lives.

  It’s just a movie, so what’s the point of paying more or less?

  Let’s have a good chat and talk about these things. I want to be an innocent actor, and I will repay the company's kindness to me by improving my acting skills and better screen image, bringing economic value and brand effect to the company.

   But now you let me take the initiative to jump into the dirty water?

  ? ? ? ?

  If it was normal, the self-cultivation cultivated since childhood would allow her to have a good talk with the other party.

   Even if you slap the table... everyone can calm down and continue chatting.

   But the problem is that she is already irritable today.

  The headache from the hangover was still tormenting her.

  And now Mr. Cai, what are you talking about?

  What do you mean I refused the scene you arranged for me before it was my turn?

   What slave am I?

   Sell yourself to you?

  So, she threw the script directly on the table and stood up:

   "Anyway, I won't answer."

   After finishing speaking, he walked out without turning his head back.

   "Shishi! Eh? Shishi! You..."

   Li Minnian originally wanted to stop him.

  Because of the seat, if he wants to catch Liu Zhishi, he can actually catch Liu Zhishi with just a stretch of his arm.

  However, when he raised his hand, a flash of inspiration burst out in his mind.

   Or say a question.

  TV dramas and movies... For agents, what makes more money?

  This question was out of mind, but the moment it popped up, it really stopped his hand.

   Just like that, Liu Zhishi walked out of the office without looking back. With the door closed, the whole space was as silent as death.

  However, this silence didn't last long, and Li Minnian felt an angry gaze.

   "Li Minnian."

   Cai Yinong, who clenched his fists, filled his pupils with anger:

   "You brought a good artist...you really brought a good artist!"

   "..."

  All the thoughts in Li Minnian's mind gathered together in an instant.

  Looking into the eyes of the company boss, he opened his mouth:

   "Cai...Mr. Cai...not...I..."

   "Okay, okay! It's the opposite, isn't it? Well, well, well."

   After a few good words, Cai Yinong didn't choose to get angry in front of Li Minnian's drooping head, but picked up the phone.

   "Hey, come in."

   Just as Li Minnian was wondering who Cai Yinong was calling, the door was pushed open in less than half a minute.

  Cai Yinong's secretary walked in:

   "Mr. Cai, you are looking for me."

  In front of Li Minnian, Cai Yinong said word by word:

"On the basis of the original film salary, I will increase it by 10%. I will contact Tang Yan to star in "Weird Man and One Plum". The whole company will be notified that all business activities of Liu Zhishi will be suspended from now on. Li Minnian will be demoted to a second-level manager. Effective immediately."

   "..."

   "Mr. Cai!"

  As soon as Li Minnian heard it, he wanted to speak immediately.

  But Cai Yinong is faster than him:

   "Shut up! If you have time to explain to me, why don't you go back and think about how to discipline your artists! In the whole company, she is the only one who is special, right? She is the only one who would refuse, right!?"

   Under the surprised gaze of the secretary, Li Minnian lowered his head again.

  So, the secretary thought about it and asked:

   "What about the... date?"

  Hearing what the secretary said, Cai Yinong rubbed his right fist, stared at Li Minnian and said word by word:

   "Unlimited."

  So, in less than five minutes, all the artists, managers, and company executives in the company received this message at the same time in the work group and text message.

  One stone stirs up waves.

   Liu Zhishi was suspended from work?

  ? ? ? ?

what happened?

   No one knows.

   I dare not inquire for the time being.

   After all, Mr. Cai personally issued this order, so if you want to ask, you can't ask now.

   But private speculation has already begun to brew.

   And one of these messages is quite intriguing.

   Isn't "Strange Hero Yizhimei" going to be filmed?

  Changing corners halfway?

  Find Tang Yan?

  What the **** did Liu Zhishi do?

   Made Mr. Cai so angry?

   No one knows.

  …

   "..."

  When Li Minnian found Liu Zhishi sitting on a bench outside the company's office building, he saw that Liu Zhishi was also holding a mobile phone.

   Before seeing the text message clearly, Liu Zhishi spoke:

   "I'm sorry...Brother Li, I have troubled you."

   "..."

  Seeing that she even used "you", Li Minnian knew that her text message should be the same as what he saw.

  So, two...how should I put it.

  Those who say it’s okay to lose a dog, and say it’s okay to show sympathy for the sick, got together.

  Li Minnian took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

   After looking at the direction of the smoke, he sat downwind of Liu Zhishi.

   "Hoo... Shi Shi."

   As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse.

  But...it doesn't matter anymore.

  For a "secondary agent", it doesn't matter if the voice is good or bad.

   Tangren's company brokers are divided into three levels.

   There is no such thing as "three levels", the lowest level of brokers joining the company is "assistant" brokers.

   After all, the word third grade is not very nice.

   Then there are brokers.

   is the second-level broker.

  The last is the external "second agent", and the internal "primary agent".

  The reason for this distinction is because Cai Yinong is nominally the "first manager" of all artists.

   In addition to the lower salary and business trip treatment of the second-level agent, the most important thing is the artist's share.

  The contract between the company and the artist, like Liu Zhishi's first contract, is 55 vs. 45.

   This is divided into normal rookie contracts.

  After all, newcomers need to use resources to cultivate.

  If the performance is good, after the end of the first five-year contract, when renegotiating, everyone will see whether it is 37 or 46.

   And out of 5.5 for the firm, the assistant broker gets a "0.5".

  Level 2 takes "1".

  Level 1 is "1.5".

  This amount of money is an essential difference to the broker.

  As far as Li Minnian is concerned, after Shishi has no activities, whether it is the third level or the second level, it is nothing more than a difference of one or two thousand yuan in basic salary, and there is no difference.

   Anyway, it’s basic salary.

   With a hoarse voice, he asked:

   "Can you tell me...why did you refuse without even reading the content? What is the real reason? Is it too tired? Want to take a break? Or..."

   "No, Brother Li."

  Knowing that she has caused Brother Li, Liu Zhishi's eyes are full of guilt.

   "It has nothing to do with those. It's just the beginning of the new year, how could I dislike being tired... I'm saying, I'm a newcomer, and I'm not too happy when the company arranges a job for me. How could I want to refuse because I'm tired?"

   "That's...why?"

   "..."

  Hearing this, Liu Zhishi was silent for a moment, and said:

   "I said, can you promise not to tell Mr. Cai?"

"Ha ha."

  Li Minnian smiled wryly:

   "What time is it, Shishi. We are just grasshoppers on the same rope, haven't you figured it out yet?"

  The guilt in Liu Zhishi's eyes grew stronger.

  But don’t hide it:

"Because, this script is plagiarized from a novel called "Scary Step By Step"... Oh yes, and the character design of "Meteor Garden". Its protagonist is called Luo Qingchuan, and its positioning is similar to that in "Meteor Garden". Shancai, the kind that a man will fall in love with when he sees her. And the story in it..."

   After blurting out how the script he heard from Yang Mi was plagiarized, and why it was difficult for the law to define its plagiarism, Li Minnian suddenly raised his head.

   "You mean... for this script, it was Mimi who was looking for it at the beginning?"

"Um."

  Liu Zhishi nodded:

"Yes. In the beginning, it was people from Tianyu who found Xu Xin and asked Xu Xin to show Mimi the script. It turned out to be such a coincidence that Mimi had the copyright of "Scary Step by Step". Then How do you say it? The water rushed to the Dragon King Temple? Anyway, that’s what it means. After Mimi got it, she found something was wrong, so she told Xu Xin about it..."

   "...What a coincidence!?"

  An absurd emotion rippling in Li Minnian's heart.

   Seeing that he didn't believe it, Liu Zhishi tapped the phone screen:

   "I'm not lying... Brother Li, if you don't believe me, I can call Xu Xin."

"Don't."

  Li Minnian subconsciously stopped, but his mind started to turn again.

   After two puffs of cigarettes, the excitement brought by nicotine made the brain start to speed up. He asked:

   "You mean, this Yu Zheng was looking for someone from Tianyu at the beginning?"

"Yes, the person who was looking for Tianyu, Tianyu took a fancy to this script and found Xu Xin and Mimi. After the two of them found out about this, Mimi specially made something called...a palette, That's where he proved his plagiarism.

   But Yu Zheng is very smart. What he copied was not to mention the specific plot, but to weaken the trend of the whole story for reference. It's just... a copycat, or a copycat with little technical content. This script doesn't have many wonderful intrigues like in "Scary Step by Step", it seems very straightforward.

  After Mimi made the palette, she asked Xu Xin to take it away and show it to the people from Tianyu. I guess the people from Tianyu should have rejected the script...but I don't know why Yu Zhenghui approached the company. But no matter what, since I know that he plagiarized, I will definitely not accept it! "

  Liu Zhishi's tone was very firm.

  But Li Minnian tasted something different from it.

  How domineering people from Tianyu act...he knows it.

  If they weren't so domineering, Tangren, the top TV drama production company in China, wouldn't have not cooperated with Hunan TV for so many years.

   To put it bluntly, everyone's "eating looks" are similar, and they are competitors.

   Tianyu can't be offended, but they can hide.

   And the story inside will definitely not be as simple as what Shishi said.

  Because... that's outrageous.

  How could a company as domineering as Tianyu give up a script that would not constitute plagiarism in the legal sense?

  My company can shoot, which has explained the problem.

  The company is going to shoot, so Tianyu will naturally be able to shoot.

   But they gave up.

  Why?

  Although I don't know how many twists and turns there are, but my intuition tells Li Minnian... there must be an inseparable relationship with the couple.

  Could it be that the people at Tianyu didn't want to offend the couple, so they gave up the script?

   Hiss! !

  He seemed to understand something.

  Could it be...Tianyu is also afraid of these two?

  No, it’s not appropriate to say I’m afraid.

   Explain from another angle. Do they think that maintaining a good cooperative relationship with Mimi and Director Xu is far more important than this TV series...?

  If this is really the case...

  Thinking of this, he hesitated, and suddenly said:

   "Shishi, Director Xu is also in Shanghai now?"

"right."

  “…Then can you ask him out?”

   "Yes, we both said we would have dinner together at night."

   "..."

  Unknowingly, Li Minnian's eyes lit up completely.

   But he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

   After thinking clearly, he said:

   "Then can I call Mimi and talk about the situation?"

  Liu Zhishi frowned...

   "What are you talking about with Mimi? This is our own business."

   Then she shook her head:

   "It's better not to fight. Mimi is filming, this matter is not her business, I don't want to disturb her."

  Girl, you are confused!

   Don't you feel it yet, you have a potential... so **** golden thighs beside you that can make everyone in Tianyu calm down?

But that's okay.

   "Okay then... In this way, I think you are in a bad state, let's find a place to rest first. How?"

"Well…"

  Hearing this, Liu Zhishi looked around and nodded:

"It's okay. I really need to find a place to sleep for a while. To tell you the truth, Brother Li, I can't turn my mind anymore... Let's go to the hotel opposite. Let me sleep for a while. How about you, Brother Li? What are you going to do?"

"I…"

  Li Minnian hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile:

   "The child wants to eat ham, and now he is in Shanghai. I will go to Nanyang Department Store and buy some ham for the child back."

   "Well, good. Then I wake up and call you?"

   "Okay, shall I take you there?"

   "No need, I can go by myself."

  Liu Zhishi shook her head, got up with a splitting headache, and walked towards the hotel diagonally across the road step by step.

   Li Minnian also accompanied him until the entrance of the hotel.

   "Brother Li... I'm sorry."

  Hearing her words, Li Minnian shook his head:

"Shishi, although in name I'm just your second manager. But...I treat you like my own sister. I will never force you to do things you don't like. So I'm sorry for this matter, It should be me who said it. I didn't protect you well... I'm sorry!"

   "Brother Li, don't say that... I know you are kind to me."

   "...Well, go and rest. I'm thinking about what we should do later."

"good."

  Liu Zhishi responded.

   Just about to turn around, but suddenly stopped again.

  After thinking about it, she said:

"Brother Li, I definitely won't accept this script. But...Brother Li, you are married after all, and you have a nephew in addition to your sister-in-law. If it's really stressful...you can talk to the company about it. Transfer me away, I can understand it, and it won't affect our relationship."

   "I'm not going anywhere."

  Li Minnian shook his head resolutely:

   "How could a brother have any reason not to protect his sister at this time? Don't worry, I won't go anywhere, I'll just guard you!"

  Hearing this, the emotions flowing in Liu Zhishi's eyes were all moved.

  But she didn't say much, just nodded with her lips pursed, and said again:

   "...I'm sorry, Brother Li."

   "Ha, it's okay, let's go to rest."

   Li Minnian smiled and waved his hands.

  After watching Liu Zhishi walk into the hotel lobby at last, it was only then that she remembered that Shishi's luggage was still on the company's commercial vehicle.

fair enough.

   It happened that he needed a calm process.

  So, he lit another cigarette and walked towards the company.

   Arrived at the parking lot downstairs of the company, and contacted the driver who was quite enthusiastic at the airport before, but now seems lukewarm.

  Ignored the other party's eyes, and didn't ask why Shishi's assistant didn't come.

  People take tea cold.

  He understands this.

   Poetry Poetry two, own one.

  Alone pushing three suitcases to the elevator.

   And looking at an elevator that just went up from B2, he didn't care about why the driver waited for him so ignorantly.

   Not to mention the behavior of not even helping myself with a piece of luggage.

   Doesn't matter.

  For some reason, he sneered.

  Wait for another empty elevator to get down, push all three suitcases in with some difficulty, and the elevator door closes.

  The cleaning staff dutifully wiped the mirrored elevator spotless.

  No finger prints.

  He just looked at himself in the mirror...

  Muttered unconsciously:

   "If it's true... then the difficulty now lies in how to let Shishi complete the last two works in the contract, right? After all... "Weird Man" is gone."

   Ding Dong.

  The voice fell, and the elevator reached the first floor.

  He restrained his thoughts, pushed three boxes and walked out.

  I left the office building all the way, crossed the road, and finally, with the help of the hotel doorman, pulled the luggage into the hotel lobby.

   "This is the guest's luggage. After a while, she will come down to get it after she has rested."

   temporarily stored the luggage in the lobby, and he walked out directly.

   nor go far.

  Going to Nanyang Department Store to buy ham and the like is all a gimmick.

  While walking, I was looking for a suitable place to make a call.

  Finally beside a trash can, he lit a cigarette.

  The smoke curled up, and the train of thought was almost smoothed out.

  The next step is to prove whether your conjecture is true.

   With some anxiety, he found Yang Mi's phone number in his phone.

   beep beep beep...

   Shouldn't be taking a break, right?

   Seeing that it was less than 2 o'clock, he secretly thought.

  The bell rang about seven times, and the phone was connected.

  Sun Ting's voice sounded:

   "Hi, Li Jiji, hello, I'm Miss Mi's assistant, Sun Ting. Miss Mi is practicing right now, do you have anything to tell me?"

  If it was normal, Li Minnian might say something to come back to him when the other party is free.

  But today is different, he also wants to see...whether Mimi really treats his friend sincerely.

   Then said quickly:

   "Hello, Assistant Sun. I do have something... It's about Shishi."

   "Sister Shishi?"

  Sun Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then said:

   "Okay, Manager Li, wait a moment."

  Holding up the phone, she walked quickly towards Yang Mi who was practicing with Zhang Jin in Baguazhang:

   "Sister, you have a phone."

   "...?"

  Because Yuan Heping hadn't shown the martial arts moves of Gong Er and Ma San, Yang Mi simply practiced with Zhang Jin to cultivate a tacit understanding.

  After hearing this, she immediately stopped and said to Zhang Jin:

   "Sorry, Brother Jin, I'll take a call."

"Mmm Good."

  Zhang Jin also nodded politely, turned around and walked to the practice room to drink water.

  Yang Mi glanced at the caller, then walked straight outside the practice room, and said as she walked:

   "Hey, Manager Li, what can I do for you?"

  When he heard Yang Mi's voice answering the phone, Li Minnian felt at ease.
