Chapter 40: Self-defeating
There is an unwritten rule in the film industry that commercial films earn box office and literary films earn awards. Kong Yisheng has made various films in his life, earned enough box office and awards, and is known as the director who can praise newcomers in the entertainment industry.
Kong Yisheng's statement in this film is the last drama in his life, the outside world thought it was just a publicity gimmick, the first two dramas hit the street, this one does some tricks, but those who know him well know that this stubborn old man will do what he says.
For many actresses who are not half popular, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once you miss it, there will be no next time.
And the most important thing is the rising star Xiao Ya, now she is out of the first and second lines, her fame is not big or small, the salary is not high or low, and the unanimous opinion of insiders on her is that there is only one masterpiece missing, as long as there is a first-line immediately, its development potential is immeasurable.
Of course, Xiao Ya understood this, and immediately began to prepare after learning the news, and even asked Xiaoyao to say something through various channels in private. In fact, Xiaoyao did nod in front of Kong Dao, but to no avail, Kong Dao made it clear that she was not suitable.
According to reliable sources, there will be a while before leaving the plane, so Xiao Ya is not in a hurry, and is making the next step, she is determined to win this play.
However, an accident happened, and someone revealed that Kong Dao already had a suitable candidate, which made Xiao Ya anxious, and immediately found a big backer, Lingyun, a demonic young man. In her heart, as long as he makes a move, there is nothing that can't be done.
The two came directly to Yanjing to try to convince Kong Yisheng.
It's still the presidential suite, Xiaoyao has been here for the past two days, with Kong Yisheng's play, he doesn't make a second choice, first, to be familiar with the characters in the script, and second, to check for Kong Lao, especially after seeing that advertisement, he is more and more interested in that girl.
The secretary knocked on the door and said that Xiao Ya asked to see him. Kong Yisheng didn't raise his head to say no, and the carefree people on the side leaned into Kong Dao's ear and said a few words, and then agreed to meet the guests.
Xiao Ya is also an insider, understands Kong Yisheng's temperament, and knows that it is not easy to meet him, so he has already asked Xiaoyao to say some good things through relationships.
Xiaoyao didn't know Xiao Ya, but the middleman had something to do with him, so he had to give him face, and promised to help meet him, but he couldn't do other requirements.
A pair of golden boys and girls walked in, the man was handsome and handsome, the woman was pure and amazing, and even the two big names in the entertainment industry were a little stunned when they saw the two at the moment, and they had to sigh that they were really a pair of beautiful people.
The two walked to a proper position, bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "I've seen Director Kong, I've seen Brother Xiaoyao!"
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "You've seen it, I can't help with the rest." ”
Probably in order to avoid suspicion, Xiaoyao walked directly back to the inner room.
Treating others, Kong Yisheng has always had a cold face, and when he saw that everyone seemed to owe him money, he glanced at the two of them and said, "What's your name?"
"Back to Kong Dao's words, the little woman's name is Xiao Ya! Chopin's Xiao, elegant Ya!" Although Xiao Ya's voice was light, the words were very clear, and she showed her line skills in just a few words.
In Kong Yisheng's opinion, this is just a small trick that cannot be put on the table, and he is very disgusted with this kind of caution, and said with a little displeasure: "What is your name, what are you talking so much, who is this man next to you?"
Since entering the industry, Xiao Ya has been smooth sailing, and the big people she has seen speak politely, but this one is good, and she has to find fault with a simple self-introduction. Fortunately, my heart has been prepared for a long time, and I have understood that this old man is a strange thing, and there is no big fluctuation in my heart, and I still stand in a regular manner.
"Director Kong, I'm Xiao Ya's brother and the general manager of Ling Tian Industrial!" Ling Yun said with a smile.
"What kind of Ling Tianling industrial, I don't know, why are you here?" Kong Yisheng said impatiently.
Jinling City, streets and alleys, high-rise buildings, no matter where everyone knows Lingtian Industry, but this is Yanjing, and Kong Yisheng has never cared about business, so it is not surprising that he does not know.
Ling Yun seemed to be surprised, took a deep breath and frowned and said, "Director Kong, my family is in the top 100 on the Hurun list!"
Kong Yisheng picked up a large front door from the table, lit it and slowly took a few puffs, blew a big puff of cigarette, squinted at Ling Yun, and said, "So what?"
Whether it was his expression or tone, full of dissatisfaction and disdain, Ling Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "Director Kong, it doesn't matter who I am, you just need to remember one thing, I have enough strength to invest in this film of yours." ”
Kong Yisheng took off his slippers, buckled his feet, and said without looking up: "Oh! So what?"
"So what? Director Kong, I have already done an investigation into your current situation, and it seems that no one will throw money into your movie, unless the heroine is relinquished. This Xiao Ya next to me can meet your requirements in terms of image and strength, and the purpose of our visit this time is to hope that you will give her a chance!
Kong Yisheng, who had finished buttoning one foot, finally raised his head, looked at Xiao Ya puzzled, and said, "Xiao Ya!"
Xiao Ya's body was stiff at the moment, her ears were buzzing, she didn't expect Ling Yun to dare to talk to Kong Dao like this, isn't this a smashing talk?
Hearing the question, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly replied: "Director Kong, what do you command?"
Kong Yisheng flicked the ashes of his cigarette, pointed at Ling Yun and said, "Whose dog is this?" Hurry up and take it away, don't let him bark here!"
Ling Yun snorted coldly and said, "Director Kong, don't say it so ugly, maybe who will beg for whom in the future?" To tell you the truth, as long as you agree to Xiao Ya to play the heroine, I can invest 300 million!"
Kong Yisheng lowered his head and knocked on the table and said, "Don't call, hurry up and go! If you don't leave, I'll have a needle eye!"
Ling Yun was about to speak to refute, but Xiao Ya pulled him and walked out, if he didn't leave, there would be no room for redemption.
When she went out, Xiao Ya said angrily: "What are you doing, are you helping me or destroying me?"
Ling Yun smiled, rubbed Xiao Ya's head, and said, "What are you angry about?" Don't worry, I have investigated clearly, no one has invested in this old guy now, I have already told him the bottom line, as long as it is a person, he will be tempted!"
"What you said is true?" Xiao Ya asked with a pout, always feeling that Kong Yisheng was not that kind of person.
"Three hundred million! What kind of concept is this? My big star, you just wait! I will definitely call you in a few days!"
The two walked to the elevator, and just as the elevator arrived, a woman walked down.
Xiao Ya's gaze swept over the girl, and she couldn't leave anymore, her eyes becoming more and more hateful. It was she who made the advertisement for Wu's real estate on her behalf, and her previous good plan was burned.
Ling Yun remained silent, waited for the woman to walk over and looked back, and saw her walking into Kong Yisheng's room.
Ling Yun frowned, thinking that it was bad, it was self-defeating, this time I don't have to try!
