The two of them drank so much that they didn't say where Liu Mi's family lived until the phone hung up.

However, Peng Xiangming still breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately, these two girls are not too stupid, and they know how to find an absolutely safe place to drink - how good it is at home, sleep when you drink too much, vomit when you feel uncomfortable, and fight if you want to fight when you drink hard, but no matter how big a problem they make, the things are still in the box, and they are very safe.

hung up the phone and told Zhao Jianyuan and Chen Xuanyi about the specific situation they had learned, although they were also busy for almost three hours and were very tired, they didn't complain, and they heard that the two girls were very safe, and they were all breathing a sigh of relief like Peng Xiangming.

I found a noodle restaurant on the street, and one person came to a bowl of noodles to pad my stomach, and then drove back to school.

Of course, Peng Xiangming didn't sleep well that night.

It can be said that there are all kinds of tastes, all to the heart.

So much so that when he got up in the morning to run, he had dark circles under his eyes and heavy red blood in his eyes, and was laughed at by Xiaoice again.

However, in the morning, as Zhu Mei's side gradually found out all the news, and then spread to Peng Xiangming's side, the boot from the crew of "Sword Immortal" finally landed.

Based on the news from various channels, Ning Xiaocheng should have a bit of a handle, and it fell into the hands of Zheng Ruiguo, this handle, some people say that Ning Xiaocheng stole the script of Zheng Ruiguo's company and ran out to do it alone, but people have already registered, and it is useless to steal, and some people say that the plot structure of this script, several screenwriters in Zheng Ruiguo's company also participated in it at the beginning, who should the copyright belong to, and some lawsuits will be fought.

In short, it's a bit of a stumbling block.

Judging from the impression that Ning Xiaocheng left on Peng Xiangming, Peng Xiangming felt that like his character who likes to control everything in his hands, as well as his in-depth control and interpretation of this new play, in all probability, these two rumors will not be too reliable.

Of course, his pigtails should definitely be there, and Zheng Ruiguo pretended to indulge in the front, and suddenly shot later, just when Ning Xiaocheng had already completed the preliminary preparations and was about to exert his strength, he should have really grabbed Ning Xiaocheng something in his hand, so that he could successfully force him to comply.

However, according to the news heard by Zhu Mei, although Ning Xiaocheng was forced to return to Zheng Ruiguo's command, it is difficult to say what losses he suffered - it is said that Zheng Ruiguo directly promised that the current completed group of "Sword Immortal" will continue to be valid, but he will invest another 120 million to directly double this plate.

And it is said that the 120 million is smashed over, as long as he takes the casting rights of the male and the second male and the female and the second, the casting rights of these four characters are still controlled by Ning Xiaocheng, and the extra money, in addition to the need to pay the new big-name male protagonist and others, the rest can all be smashed into the special effects.

Who doesn't want their funds to be as abundant as possible? Who doesn't want their film to have as beautiful special effects as possible? This condition will also make many people's hearts move under normal circumstances, not to mention that he has been caught by some tricks?—— Ning Xiaocheng's submission is not so difficult to understand.

What's more, a big man of Zheng Ruiguo's level suddenly made a move, but he didn't just give such a thing, he should really be very optimistic about Ning Xiaocheng's future.

So it is said that he directly gave a promise of three films in five years - first a "Sword Immortal Romance", invest 120 million, and after filming, he will directly invest 100 million, so that Ning Xiaocheng can practice in a movie first, after all, the TV series is turned into a movie, which can be regarded as a transformation, and then, as long as this film does not lose money, he promised to invest three to five hundred million yuan in Ning Xiaocheng and let him make a Xianxia blockbuster.

You see, this is the real big guy!

That's the power of capital!

After hearing about these industry gossips from Zhu Mei's mouth, Peng Xiangming couldn't help but sigh: What about the queen of heaven, she threw money at you several times in a row, and in the end, she still sang together?

The superpower of capital is the biggest superpower!

And in fact, he can feel that in the face of such a capital force, he is not even a victim at all, at best, he was swept to a little tail by the typhoon set off by the big guy, and he became the fish in the pond that was affected after the fire at the city gate!

Therefore, there is no regret, let alone hatred.

After returning to the dormitory last night, he deliberately flipped through the contract, and checked the information on the Internet, but he didn't know whether it was an industry norm or an unwritten rule, anyway, the actor contract of the crew generally follows the category of liquidated damages of 30% to 200% of the salary.

And when it comes to their own contracts, of course, rookie actors have no bargaining power, so the contract stipulates: If you can't perform the contract because of reasons other than force majeure, you must compensate the crew according to 200% of the salary, that is, 1.2 million, which is considered a top punishment, and if the crew can't perform the contract, it is the other way around, and the crew only needs to compensate 30%, that is, 180,000 to themselves.

But it's okay, I ran twice, signed a few names, and took 180,000 yuan for nothing.

So far, what makes Peng Xiangming feel the most regrettable is that he applied for Jianing Xiaocheng's WeChat friend according to the mobile phone number he called last night, but he has never passed.

At more than eleven o'clock in the morning, before Peng Xiangming got out of class, he received Zhu Mei's unknown phone call today, and slipped out of the classroom to answer it, Zhu Mei told him that she had just officially received a notice from Ding Hu, the executive producer of "Sword Immortal", that Peng Xiangming's role was officially yellow.

At the same time, Ding Hu also said that Ning Xiaocheng specially told him that he could compensate Peng Xiangming 30,000 yuan, and he had already arranged this matter to the finance, and he would receive money in the bank account left by Peng Xiangming when he signed the contract recently.

The front is okay, after all, it is expected, but the back makes Peng Xiangming a little confused.

At that time, he couldn't help but ask Zhu Mei, "Shouldn't the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract be compensated according to the breach of contract......?" Director Ning specially advised, only to give me 30,000?"

So Zhu Mei explained to him, "This is also an industry practice, many people feel uncomfortable, but this is the rule in our circle, if you really look for the past and ask the crew for liquidated damages, maybe you can also come over, but it is very likely that no one will pay attention to you, and the other party will even tell you directly, you go to the lawsuit!

She sighed, "There is a contract, of course, it is an ironclad lawsuit, but in the first and second instance, the other party has a lawyer on the other side, grinding with you, all kinds of appeals, all kinds of applications are postponed, and the lawyers they raise are very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing." When the third-instance lawsuit is all over, it will take two or three years to say the least, are you busy fighting the lawsuit all day long? Do you still have nothing else to do? You still can't take on the drama? Do you have the time and energy to grind with the other party? How much do you get for the lawyer's fees paid in advance?"

Even if you win and apply for enforcement, don't forget that the company that the other party has signed a contract with you is usually a leather bag company, and they may declare bankruptcy at any time. Maybe the lawsuit hasn't even been over, and the company has gone bankrupt, who do you want?"

"Of course, these are still trivial things, film and television companies bully people, everyone can see this, but the problem is, you are an actor, you are a weaker, and your job opportunity is given by others! Once you start a lawsuit with a certain company because of this, your reputation in the film and television company will stink, and which company will give you a slightly more important role?"

"It is precisely because of this, over the years, how many times have you heard the news that actors sue film and television companies for liquidated damages? To put it bluntly, the size is just a role, if it is gone, it will be gone, the time is still your own, if you don't have this opportunity, you can just go to the next one, maybe everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate again? There is really no need to do this kind of offending thing!"

Speaking of this, she sighed and said: "So, in the case of seeing that the cooperation is not successful, Director Ning can still remember to specially ask you to give you a little compensation, which is really a different look at you, it has nothing to do with more money or less money, you can remember such a sentence, you can see how much he values you!"

“......”

From puzzlement, to astonishment, to laughter, in the end, Peng Xiangming was speechless.

He really didn't expect that there would be such rules in the film and television industry that looks glamorous outside.

But...... It doesn't matter.

At that time last night, Peng Xiangming had already made up his mind that he would never expect any so-called opportunities from others in the future, he would be the one who gave others a chance.

Turn around and just go your own way!

Be in control!

So, let's learn and understand the rules of survival in the entertainment industry!

What's more, there's still 30,000 yuan to take, isn't it?

So he sighed and said, "That's fine, that's it!"

The other side said "um", and said: "Then go back and give Liu Mi the contract you signed yesterday, let her bring it to me, and I will help you send it back, the right is to make a good fate, Ning Xiaocheng values you so much, maybe the next opportunity to cooperate will come soon." Of course, it's best for you to go in person, return the contract to Ding Hu in person, and try to make a good impression with him. ”

Peng Xiangming thought about it, "um", and agreed to it.

But then, Zhu Mei said: "Also, the contract between us, I'm afraid we have to discuss it again!"

Peng Xiangming was stunned when he heard this.

Zhu Mei continued: "Before you could win Ning Xiaocheng's new play, or the leading actor, I have the confidence to withstand the pressure within the company, and even I am ready to throw out the few people I have brought out in my hand to reduce the resistance, but now, this role is gone, if I still sign a contract according to the conditions of five years and 15%, I can't bear the pressure from the company's side at all." ”

Peng Xiangming looked up at the sky and laughed silently.

Zhu Mei said again: "So, look at when you have time, let's make an appointment and have a good talk, I am still full of confidence in you, and I still want to sign you! Although I have been an agent for seven or eight years, I think that my vision of seeing people is definitely not as good as that of Director Ning Xiaocheng, since he values you so much, it means that you have the characteristics of becoming popular." So, anyway, the contract hasn't been signed yet, so let's talk about it again, and I'll try to get you the most lenient conditions within my ability, okay?"

Peng Xiangming looked up to the sky and said: "Understand and understand, I can't make you embarrassed!" But you also know, I didn't study acting in the first place, this thing is purely a coincidence, and I don't plan to audition for roles or anything next, you know, I studied directing, and I like music very much recently, so recently, I'm preparing for a graduation short film, I want to make some music or something, it's a lot of things, even if we negotiate and sign the contract, it's all in vain, so, let's talk about it after a while!"

But in his heart, he couldn't help but become more calm and calm.

You see, it's just a character, and even the tone of the agent has changed - the signed contract can be said to be invalid, and it has not been signed here, so can you still complain about others?

Normal!

To put it bluntly, it's just the word profit!

You have interests to touch, of course, people value them and are willing to give in, but once you can't get any benefits from you, then why do you let people make concessions?

If you are becoming popular now, if you are the one who has the opportunity, will you encounter this kind of bullshit again and again?

So think about it, it's better to be honest and bury yourself and do something that you can fully control!

Zhu Mei wanted to say more, but she soon noticed that Peng Xiangming seemed to have made up his mind and was not ready to sign any more actor agency contracts with her, and persuaded her a few more words, but found that it was useless, so she had to give up.

The phone call with Zhu Mei was not short, and seeing that the time was about to end, Peng Xiangming was not in a hurry to go back, stood in the corridor outside the classroom, and began to dial Qi Yuan's phone again.

This time it was actually opened, and it seems that he has woken up.

"Hey, where are you?"

Qi Yuan's voice was slightly hoarse, and he replied, "Take the Liumi car, we are heading to school, and we are almost there!"

Peng Xiangming breathed a sigh of relief again, "How much did you drink last night?"

Qi Yuan's voice became more and more lazy, "I don't remember, I just have a little headache!"

"You're crazy, aren't you?"

As a result, before Qi Yuan could speak, another voice with a hoarse voice suddenly came from the side, "We're crazy or not, it's your business!Peng Xiangming, why don't you call me first?"

Qi Yuan hurriedly said: "Look at the road, look at the road! Sister, you are driving!"

Then the voice returned to the feeling of approaching the microphone, "Let's not talk about it, we're going to school soon, that's it, bye!"

............

Ten minutes later, Peng Xiangming had just arrived at the school gate not long ago, and sure enough, he saw Liu Mi's Maserati driving over, and then jumped on the road with great vigor and stopped.

Peng Xiangming walked over.

The two girls got out of the car from both sides, one after the other, both looking tired.

Walking up, Peng Xiangming sighed and wanted to speak, but suddenly found that there was something wrong with Qi Yuan's face, subconsciously widened his eyes, leaned over to take a look, raised his hand to touch it, turned his head to look at Liu Mi again, only to find that her face was also very different - "What are you guys...... What are you doing? Who smoked it?"

He was a little angry.

Both girls' faces were slightly swollen, and the slap prints could still be faintly seen, which seemed to be what happened not long ago.

Both of them were a little empty, but Qi Yuan still smiled and said, "No one, we slapped each other three times, and said okay, you can use the strength to eat, but after the pumping, the past grievances will be written off." ”

Liu Mi continued: "And in the three chapters of the law, the road will return to the road, and the bridge will return to the bridge, each according to his ability! But they can't tear each other down, they can't talk behind their backs, and they can't find fault with provocations and ridicule in public." ”

Oh!

Peng Xiangming was a little stunned, glanced at Qi Yuan's face again, then turned around, pinched his chin with his hand, twisted Liu Mi's face, and also took a closer look, to be honest, it was quite distressing, "You two are also ...... Why are you doing so much?"

Liu Mi sneered, "This is not a hatred!"

Qi Yuan actually agreed, "That's it!"

Gotcha! Anyway, it's not pumping me! I'm feeling sorry!

Let go of the two of them, and subconsciously sniffed again, "Okay, okay, whatever you two do, just don't have an accident, let's go back to the dormitory quickly, pick up the smell of wine on your body, and make up for sleep if you are still sleepy!"

However, neither of them left.

Liumi asked him, "Is your character really gone?"

Peng Xiangming was calm and nodded, "Well, it's gone." But there are 30,000 yuan in liquidated damages to take, hehe. ”

Liu Mi looked at him seriously, and after a moment, his gaze slid to his lips, but quickly drifted away, lowered his head, and said quite sincerely, "Yesterday's incident...... I'm sorry, I'm a little dizzy!"

This time, it was Peng Xiangming's turn to be stunned for a moment.

Turning his head and glancing at Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan hugged his shoulders and smiled, looking like he was watching a play.

That's right, she doesn't need to apologize there, three slaps, and the grievances are written off.

However, Liu Mi apologized to himself for this, and Peng Xiangming felt a little panicked - after all, he had no experience, let alone nine years, even if he lay in bed for ninety years, he couldn't lie down with this kind of experience, so he really didn't expect that a hole in his lips would poke out such a big mess.

So he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hey, this kind of thing, you two can explain it clearly, and I'll ......"

Liu Mi suddenly looked up, "What do you think I'm apologizing for?"

"Huh?" Peng Xiangming didn't understand too much.

Liu Mi said: "Yesterday was supposed to be a great thing for you, to celebrate, but then this kind of thing happened, no matter which one it is, even if I am very dissatisfied, I shouldn't be fooling around at that time, especially in front of so many of your friends, it will definitely make you unable to get off the stage at that time...... I'm apologies for this!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Peng Xiangming's lips again, her voice lowered, but she still felt a little negative, "But it's not that I shouldn't make trouble about this matter!"

I don't know if you're empathetic or something else!

But...... It doesn't matter!

Peng Xiangming was not happy at all because Liu Mi didn't let go of the fact that his lips were bitten, although he felt that his face was a little hot caused by cortical hyperplasia, but he still rarely took the initiative to put his arm around Liu Mi's shoulder, grinned, pulled her again, and stretched out his other arm to hug Qi Yuan.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, you just call me a scumbag, I won't be angry when I scold me! As long as you two don't make trouble, everyone is harmonious, how good is it? What do you two do to me, in fact, I don't care!"

Qi Yuan squinted at him.

Liu Mi directly raised her middle finger.
