Chapter 51 Larger Rehearsal Space
Some people in the Yi Meng crew were about to agree, but when they heard this, they suddenly felt enlightened.
Yes.
If it was really that good, why didn't Ning Baixuan keep it for her own drama troupe, but instead competed with them for the rehearsal room?
Ning Baixuan's smile froze, and she hurriedly explained, "Of course it's because the journey is long. Our crew is really in a hurry. If we change to another location, the round trip will take a long time."
Zhang Yin glanced at Ning Baicha with a bit of displeasure, and said to Director Chen arrogantly: "Director Chen, we are all in the same circle. Xuanxuan is the future movie queen. She relies on the influence of Mr. Shen. We are all in the same circle. Don't you understand this?"
"Zhang Yin, Director Chen is a veteran artist, he shouldn't talk like that." Ning Baixuan stopped Zhang Yin in a stern voice.
Ning Baicha put his hands behind his back and walked behind Director Chen leisurely: "Oh, so you mean to say that Mr. Shen would embarrass Director Chen for such a small matter? After all, Mr. Shen is a well-known and tasteful investor in the circle. Although his status is not low, he never likes to embarrass others. If Xuanxuan really wants to rely on Mr. Shen's power, shouldn't she also make a phone call and let us listen?"
"Why is my sister in this drama troupe?" The smile on Ning Baixuan's lips was particularly stiff.
Ning Baicha blinked: "Xuanxuan, this is not the point. The point is the venue. You are not in the right in this matter. If you really want to bring up Mr. Shen, you have to let us hear what Mr. Shen says in person, so that we can give up."
Ning Baixuan has always been gentle and well-behaved in front of Shen Shijing, so how could she really trouble Shen Shijing with such a thing?
If Shen Shijing knew afterwards that she was so aggressive towards an old artist, her image in Shen Shijing's eyes would be ruined.
But Ning Baixuan was really unwilling to leave like this.
Just when it seemed that Director Chen had been convinced, Ning Baicha suddenly came in to interfere.
"Xuanxuan?" Ning Baicha came over and hugged her arm affectionately. "Aren't you and Mr. Shen on good terms? Why, are you worried that this call won't go through?"
Ning Baixuan almost clenched her teeth and took a deep breath: "Brother Shen is usually busy and doesn't have much time."
"What Mr. Zhang implied was that the relationship between my sister and Mr. Shen was special. Since it's not just an ordinary friendship, Mr. Shen should have answered my sister's call as soon as possible, right?" Ning Baicha looked at Ning Baixuan with a smile.
Her eyebrows were slightly curved and she tilted her head to look at Ning Baixuan. It didn't seem like she was deliberately making things difficult for Ning Baixuan, but rather like she was really seeking confirmation.
Ning Baixuan frowned slightly: "Sister, what you said is too unreasonable. We are all adults, not children. Even if we are in love, we should respect each other's time. What's more, I am not a useless person. I can't always ask Brother Shen to solve problems when I encounter them, right? Sister, this idea is not advisable. After all, women should have their own careers and their own ideas."
"Sister, what you mean is that you want to take advantage of Mr. Shen's influence, but you are unwilling to show us any evidence, and you don't intend to let us verify it. You just fooled us with one sentence, and then asked us to hand over the rehearsal room? That doesn't make sense. What happened between you and Mr. Shen in private is your business. We have no interest in it. We don't even like to discipline people for no reason."
Ning Baicha released the arm that was holding Ning Baixuan and took a few steps back, blinking her eyes smartly.
"It's still my sister. In fact, the relationship between me and Mr. Shen is not what Mr. Zhang said."
Before Ning Baixuan expressed her opinion, Zhang Yin became anxious.
"Nonsense! Xuanxuan came to the troupe for rehearsal these days, and it was President Shen who sent her here! President Shen's love for Xuanxuan is also visible to the naked eye, how could it be like what you said! Stop talking nonsense, and give up the venue quickly. We will take a step back and find a venue for you, and also give you compensation. That's the most we can do. If you want more, don't be too pushy."
Chang Mengyu said with a cold face: "We originally rented this place, even if you give us these, we won't give them up!"
Ning Baixuan didn't look at Ning Baicha, she just looked at Director Chen.
No matter how much Ning Baicha said, it was useless because the final say was in the hands of Director Chen.
"Director Chen, what do you think? We can actually discuss this kind of thing in private. I don't think you would want to bother Brother Shen for such a small matter. What's more, you are a great director, capable and talented, and you are also very considerate. Normally, when juniors like us come to you for help, you will help us without hesitation. Just consider it as helping us today.
The Yimeng crew has a mature team. Even though the journey is a little far and the rehearsal time is not so relaxed, it does not affect your foundation at all. On the contrary, we are a newly formed team with a poor foundation and are not familiar with the stage, so we are a little obsessed with this stage with complete infrastructure. "
Ning Baixuan acted humble and showed a more sincere attitude, and praised Director Chen by the way to build him up.
Director Chen was placed on such a high pedestal, as if to say that if Director Chen was not allowed to leave the rehearsal room, he would be inconsiderate, too selfish, and cold-blooded.
Director Chen frowned slightly.
Ning Baicha smiled and clapped her hands, "Sister, you are so eloquent. Director Chen will feel embarrassed to not give in if you praise him like that. But Director Chen is not the only one performing the play in the Yimeng crew. He has to consider other people's opinions. The reason why a troupe can be successful and receive a huge response is, of course, because the troupe is not a place where one person has the final say, and Director Chen is more willing to listen to other people's opinions."
Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued Ning Baicha's words: "Yes, I understand what Miss Ning means. Your troupe has its own troubles, but we also have our own difficulties to overcome. In the troupe, although I am the director, no matter how powerful the director is, I must be able to listen to opinions. If I ignore the ideas of other actors, it will be detrimental to the development of the troupe. We cannot adopt Miss Ning's suggestion."
Chang Mengyu and her men stood in front of Director Chen and said, "After all that nonsense, you can leave now. Either find the person in charge of the venue to talk to us, or get out. Don't think that you can impress everyone with a few words from a superior position and some benefits. You are treated like a princess in the opposite troupe, sorry, we won't spoil you!"
Ning Baicha stood beside Chang Mengyu and waved to Ning Baixuan, "Sister, you should go back to Mr. Shen to discuss it. Since Mr. Shen cares so much about you, it shouldn't be a big problem to give you a better rehearsal venue, right?"
