Chapter 309: Feeling unwilling

Ye Ming's face darkened and he said coldly: "People from the production center, do you think that just because I transferred the money to the crew's account, I can't restrain you? Don't forget, I am the one who is responsible for this time The investor will not be able to withdraw the investment, but if you replace the director and replace him with an obedient one, you will still be able to film this movie. I can’t replace you. From now on, you are dismissed from the director position of [Bright Sword] because According to the interpretation terms of the contract, you have made a mistake, and I have the right to terminate you from your position. Even if it is the production center, there is nothing I can do."

Ye Ming could directly dismiss him from his position, but Ma Liu could only dismiss him from his position as director if he made a mistake.

But at this time, Ma Liu still couldn't believe it: "You said I made a mistake, okay, I want to see how you can prove that I made a mistake. If I really made any mistakes, you don't need to remove them. I will resign as director myself.”

Because some of the shady things on the crew were done by the assistant director Ma Long, Ma Liu believed that even if Ye Ming wanted to investigate, he would only find Ma Long, and Ma Long had already been fired. , Ma Liu didn't believe that Ye Ming could do anything to Ma Long. Ye Ming took out a ledger and said: "I will convince you that you lost. If it means that you will not go out on location, then I really won't have evidence to prove that you hacked the crew's money at this time, but you I absolutely shouldn’t, I shouldn’t be so eager to deal with the people from my brilliant company.

Look at the account book above. The three cars of the crew were filled with gasoline yesterday morning, and the cost was 983 yuan. However, this morning, according to the records, the three vehicles were actually said to have been refilled with gas, and the cost was 1,235 yuan, which was more than yesterday.

Director Ma, do you think I don’t know how long a car can run with a full tank of gas?

Yesterday, our crew was still filming in the film studio, so how much gas could be wasted? However, when we went on location today, we filled up the gas again, and the cost was even more than yesterday. How do you explain this to me? "When Ye Ming said this, his voice had become very cold.

It was indeed impossible for Ma Liu to explain clearly the matter of gasoline for the crew, and as a driver of the crew stealing gasoline, such a thing was not a secret among the crew.

Generally speaking, as long as what the driver did was not extremely excessive, the director would also pretend not to see it. It is not easy for anyone to get around these days.

If you offend the driver, and at the critical moment of leaving the location, the driver says that the car is broken down, or that there is no gasoline, then the crew will still suffer the loss, because if a day is delayed, then it will be difficult to maintain a crew It's not as simple as a few hundred yuan, but thousands of dollars.

Therefore, at this time, if the driver steals fuel, it is basically an unspoken rule.

Generally speaking, if the relationship with the director is not very good, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary driver to become a crew driver. In the Liang Jian crew, the three drivers on the crew were all hired by Ma Liu. Therefore, if you say that Ma Liu has nothing to do with a car stealing oil, then no one will believe it at all. of.

Seeing this, Ma Liu was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that Ye Ming was so aware of such unpopular things as car drivers stealing oil. This was only possible because he was very aware of the tricky people on the crew's hands. , to find out how much the driver reimbursed for gasoline.

Ye Ming doesn't look like an old Jianghu. But how could he know that Ye Ming had actually done such a thing himself, and he did it much better than the driver on the crew. Ye Ming had never been discovered by the crew before stealing oil.

Because Ye Ming knows about the long flowing water. At this time, Ma Liu suddenly lowered his head like a defeated rooster, and his ferocious aura instantly subsided, muttering to himself: "Okay, I admit this, but the person named Ye, Don’t think that you have taken me away. You have the final say on the crew of [Bright Sword]. Our TV series production center cooperates with others to produce one or two TV series. Once again, others will pay for it. Our TV series production center will do it. Produced. In other words, no matter what director comes next from the TV drama production center, he will definitely not give the rights of the crew to you as the producer. Our production center cannot afford to lose this person. "

The last sentence of this sentence is truly insightful. As a public unit, the production center will naturally not think of delegating its rights to the crew of "Bright Sword". Therefore, the rights to shoot will not be handed over at all. For Ye Ming.

At this time, Ma Liusheng left in a lonely mood. Although it was still a little hot now, at this time, Ma Liu's heart felt cold and cold, and his whole spirit was in this staggering departure. It was extracted cleanly. This time it was at a street stall in Beijing. A somewhat frustrated Ma Liu was drinking beer expressionlessly. He lost this fight for power. He lost completely. There was basically no possibility of turning over. However, At this time, he was unwilling to fail like that.

How come other directors from the production center were able to live in a villa when they went to shoot a co-produced TV series, but now he almost didn't even have a place to live. Ma Long also drank a bottle of beer angrily, smashed it on the ground and said, "Why, this kid drove me away, and also drove you away, uncle.

I am a temporary worker in the production of Heartfelt. There's nothing else to say, but uncle, you are a formal employee of the unit. If you are relieved of your position as director, the people in the production center will also need to nod. "

This is the difference between regular workers and temporary workers. Temporary workers will be fired directly if they are unhappy, but regular workers, as long as they have not made any big mistakes, even the leaders are not good. Direct dismissal is an unspoken rule in official circles.

Therefore, among the people, formal workers are called the iron rice bowl. At this time, Ma Liu ate the side dishes very helplessly and said: "It's useless. There is no way to compare now with the past. Now is a market economy. After joining the WTO, everything will change. In fact, the same will happen in the entertainment industry. changed.

Co-productions used to be a director-centered system, and the director didn't have the final say on everything. But now it's a producer-centered system, and rich people naturally have the final say.

Did you know that even the production center has income-generating tasks every year? If the tasks cannot be completed on time, then the director will have nothing to gain at this time.

Therefore, even if Ye Ming directly takes over me as the director, all he needs to do is replace the director with someone else in the production center. Maybe the director can sell the director's position at a good price. How will it work with Ye Ming? Ming turned his face. "

Hearing this, Ma Long was a little dumbfounded. He originally thought that his uncle was a regular and old employee in the production center, so he must have privileges. However, he did not expect that Ye Ming was really capable of giving his uncle to Take it.

At this time, Ma Long said with some reluctance: "Uncle, are you going to swallow this breath like this? Otherwise, I will find someone to deal with Ye Ming and cause some trouble for the crew. Anyway, this is not the first time we have done this." You've done it. When the time comes, let this kid Ye Ming know that it's not easy to get over with offending us."

Ma Liu glared at his nephew fiercely and said: "Idiot, you think, you think things are so easy, any crew can use this mean trick like yours, it's a grassroots crew, But whose crew is this? The crew of the production center, and it also has a military background. It is said that it may be a tribute drama, but it is not impossible. The third master may be operating such a thing. You dare to do something evil, without Ye Ming If you take action, the producer will definitely throw you into prison first, believe it or not."

At this time, Ma Long truly understood how powerful the background of the "Bright Sword" crew he had been with was.

He widened his glasses and opened his mouth, as if he could fit three duck eggs into it, and then he stuttered in disbelief: "Military, tribute, tribute drama, no, it can't be that serious, right?"

Ma Liu snorted and said, "What do you think, why do I spend so much effort and money just to get the position of director of [Bright Sword]? In fact, this is a qualification. With this, One of my qualifications is that even if I don’t do well in the TV drama production center, at least I will be a deputy director after retirement, and I might be able to retire with the benefits of the main director. Now everything is over.”

At this time, Ma Long had really died down. If he were to play the official role, Ye Ming would not be afraid at all. He had already expelled both his uncle and nephew. What else would he be afraid of at this time? If he was playing dirty tricks, he would lend one to Ma Long now. He didn't dare to do it like this. You dare to attack the crew of the gift drama. What's it like to seek death? At this time, Ma Long said reluctantly: "Then there is nothing we can do. ?”

At this time, Ma Liu's eyes were a little blurred, and the neon lights of the city had begun to appear in his mind. But at this time, he smiled strangely and said: "There is no way, hum, it's not to say that there is no way at all, I don't It's easy, but this kid Ye Ming can't even think about having an easy time."

It was obvious that Ma Liu was very unwilling to throw away the director's position that he had worked so hard for. (To be continued)
