I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

"Hey, Director Xu, do you have time? Come out and have some tea."

The calm voice on the other end of the phone caught Xu Wen's stomach full of anger for a moment.

Xu Wen suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"where is it?"

"I heard that you used to go to a teahouse by the West Lake with Mr. Zhou and Producer Huang to drink tea together. Take me there as well."

Zhaochen smiled, as if she was not the one who was criticized by all the people on the Internet.

Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"I'll see you in half an hour. When you get to the door, send me a message, and I'll ask my assistant to pick you up."

"it is good."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Xu Wen thought for a while and called Zhang Min again.

Let Zhang Min prepare a contract termination document for himself, Party A is Zhizu Changle Company, and Party B is Zhaochen.

Zhang Min was keenly aware that Xu Wen was in contact with Zhaochen.

After questioning, Xu Wen didn't hide anything, and said that he was going to meet Zhaochen.

Zhang Min immediately said in a hurry that he would follow.

After the incident, Zhang Min has been unable to contact Zhaochen.

Not only Zhang Min couldn't be contacted, Zhaochen's manager and studio also couldn't get in touch with Zhaochen.

The entire studio is now in a state of confusion, because Zhaochen cannot be contacted.

So apart from posting PR articles, I can't do anything.

Watching the public opinion on the Internet ferment step by step.

On the one hand, he has to deal with Zhaochen's work, and on the other hand, he has to appease the endorsement brands of other artists.

Zhang Min was in a panic, but Zhaochen couldn't find him.

Now hearing that Xu Wen contacted Zhaochen, Zhang Min wanted to rush over immediately, grabbed Zhaochen's clothes and slapped him several times to vent his anger.

It's just that Xu Wen didn't let her get what she wanted.

He knew that Zhang Min had lost his mind at this time, and when he met Zhao Chen under such circumstances, Bao Qi would do something out of the ordinary.

But she also promised Zhang Min that she would have a good talk with Zhaochen about what happened this time.

She doesn't treat Zhaochen just because her heart is soft.

Drive to the teahouse.

He Nan went straight into the box.

While drinking tea, he rubbed his fingers against the paper contract in his hand.

His eyes unconsciously fell on the name of the subject of the contract.

Contentment and constant happiness If contentment and constant happiness were really possible, such things would not have happened.

Xu Wen sighed, and at this moment Xu Wen's cell phone rang.

Putting away the contract, Xu Wen asked his assistant to go downstairs to pick up Zhaochen.

In the box, Xu Wen saw Zhaochen in full armor.

Wearing a black hat, a black mask, and a pair of black sunglasses.

The whole body was covered tightly, and those who didn't know it thought it was some masked superman.

"sit down."

Xu Wen said something coldly.

After Zhaochen sat down, he took off the equipment on his body.

Showed his true colors.

He unceremoniously picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"It's really good tea!"

During this process, Xu Wen has been observing Zhaochen.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhaochen bought in his gourd, or how long Zhaochen could hide it.

But obviously, Zhaochen behaved very normally.

He even said to Xu Wen with a smile.

"By the way, I forgot to bring you a gift. Congratulations, Director Xu. This time, you won the Huading Award again."

"Thank you, but I'm not very happy with this award."

Xu Wen folded his arms around his chest and sneered.

Zhaochen heard the words and didn't say anything else, just lowered his head and drank his tea.

Xu Wen sighed.

"Zhaochen, you are confused."

Zhaochen was stunned for a moment, and then revealed a sympathetic smile.

"I know, but it's useless now, isn't it?"

"Even if I regret it, I don't have any regret medicine to take."

"So you don't need to say anything to me like "If I knew today, why should I have done it before?"."

"If I knew today, I wouldn't be where I was before."

"I'm most annoyed when others come to preach to me, and I didn't stop me when I was doing this."

"At this time, come and tell me the truth. I don't like to hear such things as afterthoughts."

Xu Wen looked at Zhaochen.

Even at this time, she still has that carefree character.

Don't be sloppy.

"Then let me ask you, why did you do this? To be honest, you have earned a lot these years."

Xu Wen sighed slightly and asked.

Zhao Chen smiled.

"Yes, I earn a lot, but who would think too much of this kind of money?"

"I'm not the first, and I won't be the last. There's nothing to worry about about this kind of thing."

"I was afraid of being poor when I was a child, so now I can't bear to part with every penny, even taxes."

"So many people have called me since the incident, but I haven't answered it. Director Xu, you are the first person to receive my call."

"I only have one question now, if I cooperate with the investigation to make up the tax, will I still have a chance?"

"Even if it is a slight chance, I am willing to start from scratch, and I will accept fines."

When he said the last sentence, Zhaochen's expression became slightly dignified.

Regret is definitely regret.

Otherwise, Zhaochen would not have come to see Xu Wen.

If there is a chance, Zhaochen will definitely seize it.

Xu Wen looked into Zhaochen's eyes and said slowly.

"There is no chance. This kind of thing is the first time and it means it will be the last time."

"Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, let's do business."

Zhaochen seemed to have been drained of strength, and leaned back on the chair.

The tense momentum just now disappeared in an instant.

Things have come to this point, in fact, there is nothing to say.

Xu Wen took a deep breath and took out the documents from the briefcase behind him.

"At present, all the brands you endorse have offered to terminate your contract, and three of them are already approaching expiration, so they have not pursued your responsibility."

"The remaining four companies have sued you. This is the legal document they sent. You can prepare a lawyer to talk to them. The exact amount of compensation depends on their contract."

"In addition, you signed 3 drama contracts, among them "Langya Bang 2" forget it, Penguin Film and Television did not hold you accountable for my sake, and sued you for the other two dramas."

"In "Wulin Biography", your role has been cut, you just need to know this, and your previous honors have also been cancelled."

"Finally. This is the contract termination document between our company and you."

Zhaochen looked at the successive documents on the table, a little dazed.

Every document represents the price she will pay millions or even tens of millions.

Zhaochen glanced at it casually, and the more he looked, the more flustered he became.

Adding up these liquidated damages, she will almost pay more than [-] million liquidated damages!
Not to mention that there are tens of millions of fines on the tax side.

It can be said that the money she has earned over the years has been emptied.

Zhaochen's face gradually turned pale.

His hands couldn't stop shaking, and his lips trembled as he looked at Xu Wen.

"Director Xu, this time I'm obsessed with ghosts, can you save me once?"

At this time, Zhaochen couldn't hold back anymore.

Xu Wen sighed.

"It's not that I don't want to save, but that I can't protect myself now."

"Because of you, Penguin Films is now considering whether to remove "Everything is Fine" from the shelves."

"Also because you are an artist of our company, people in the circle say that the supervisory department is going to inspect our company."

"It is said that our company is also subject to investigation, and the outside world says that we condone these things."

"Do you think this is because I still have the ability to save you?"

Zhao Chen froze for a moment.

"Everything is Fine" is going to be taken off the shelves?"

"It's still between yes and no, but all the works you starred in before have been removed from the shelves."

Xu Wen said bluntly.

Zhaochen froze for a moment, then burst into sobs.

After all, no matter how individual you are, no matter how unyielding you are, you still can't hold back at this time.

People are like this, if they don't see the bottom line, they won't admit defeat.

Xu Wen is not in the mood to sympathize with Zhaochen at the moment.

Adults pay the price for their choices.

Besides, Zhaochen is not a girl in her early twenties.

Such a lesson should be learned once more.

Not to mention that Xu Wen is also entangled in trivial matters at the moment.

Because of Zhaochen's incident, even Xu Wen's company began to attract attention.

Some public opinion on the Internet is also very unfriendly to Xu Wen.

Now open the scarf and look at those comments are basically full of hostility.

"I personally recommend checking the source from top to bottom! Check Xu Wen first! See if he has done something like this over the years!"

"As the saying goes, a nest of snakes and rats! Xu Wen must not be clean himself!"

"I think several artists who have a good relationship with Zhaochen probably have this kind of thing."

"Xu Wen's company really needs to investigate carefully. I don't think Zhaochen will be the first or the last."

"A profession like an entertainer earns so much money, tax deduction is not allowed to be deducted to death!"

Because of Zhaochen's incident, even Xu Wen's good reputation has collapsed a lot.

Sometimes that's the way it is, what the audience loves about you just changes as things change.

There are not many real diehard fans.

Don't those artists who had accidents before have diehard fans?
Have!
But in the face of the general trend, these are not enough!

After crying for a while, Zhaochen still had to accept this fact.

Before leaving, Zhaochen stopped and looked at Xu Wen.

"Director Xu, no accident, this will be the last time we meet."

"I will not appear in the entertainment industry in the future."

"I have a few words to say to you before I leave."

"I know you're disappointed, and I'm sorry too."

"Thank you for your tolerance, and I'm sorry for you."

"I hope you can get through this matter safely."

After speaking, Zhaochen left the teahouse, leaving only Xu Wen with a heavy sigh.

Not long after Zhaochen left, Zhang Min hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Wen shook his head.

"I knew you would follow."

"It's fine if I didn't break into the door during your chat, just tell me how you chat."

Zhang Min unceremoniously picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

When Xu Wen received the call, although Xu Wen refused to let Zhang Min come with him.

But according to Zhang Min's character, how could he be obedient.

She is the one who dares to resign from the establishment when she is close to 35 years old!
So she ran over without telling Xu Wen.

After seeing Zhaochen enter Xu Wen's box, Zhang Min wanted to rush in.

But as soon as he got to the door, he heard sobbing from inside.

Zhang Min didn't know why, so she gave up this idea and waited until she saw Zhaochen leave before pushing the door in.

Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"I told her everything, including our company's termination of the contract with her, the brand's termination of her contract and so on."

"She was still stubborn before, but she couldn't hold back after seeing the liquidated damages to be compensated."

Zhang Min sneered.

"Yes! Who told her to make so much money and do such a thing!"

"You don't seem curious that she would do that?"

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Min in surprise.

Zhang Min shook his head.

"People make money and birds die for food. This kind of thing is really nothing to pursue. Ordinary people want to become rich, but it doesn't mean that rich people don't want to become richer."

"You think clearly."

Xu Wen smiled in surprise.

Zhang Min glanced at Xu Wen angrily.

"You're still in the mood to laugh now, let's forget about Zhaochen's affairs, but we are also getting burned ourselves now! Have you read the public opinion on the Internet?"

Xu Wen nodded.

Zhang Min continued.

"The public opinion on the Internet is very bad for us now! I have issued a public relations statement, but it is still useless."

"In addition, like He Mei's endorsement, some other activities have also been more or less affected, and the brand side is hesitant."

"And Yao Chen, what are you going to do? She is Zhaochen's niece, and she has just gained some popularity with "Guo Furong"."

"Also, "Everything is Good" was taken off the shelves by Penguin Films."

Zhang Min said one by one, but Xu Wen kept silent.

Xu Wen didn't speak until Zhang Min finished speaking.

"First of all, please ask the tax department to openly come to our company for tax inspection! In addition, continue to issue statements."

"Like He Mei and the others, they will reduce their overseas activities and shoot more movies."

"As for Yao Chen, she's not Zhaochen, cut off all her variety shows, and stay on the set for a few months."

"Let's keep a low profile during this time."

Zhang Min looked at Xu Wen cautiously.

"how about you?"

She sympathized with Xu Wen.

Now this period of time is when Xu Wen is in the limelight.

The TV series directed by Changhong!Participated in the production of movies that sold well at the box office.

"Langya Bang 2" also allowed He Nan to win the best director in "Golden Magnolia" and "Hua Ding Award" one after another!Best screenplay and many other important awards.

There are even rumors that the "Golden Magnolia Award" intends to recruit Xu Wen as a judge.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

Requiring a low profile at this juncture is tantamount to a dimensionality reduction blow to Xu Wen.

Although Zhaochen made a mistake, he doesn't care about Xu Wen's affairs.

But Chi Yu was always affected.

Facing Zhang Min's words, Xu Wen smiled.

"Let me also take advantage of this time to take a break. Recently, I have always felt that the shooting is not going well. Just taking this opportunity, I plan to leave for a while."

"Away for a while?! Where are you going?"

Zhang Min was taken aback for a moment.

Is Xu Wen quitting the entertainment circle?
Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"I plan to go to another track to study for a while, and come back when I have learned enough."

"What track?"

"Drama!"
