While the lawyers checked for loopholes in the contract's operational terms, Thomas pulled Joseph aside and poured him a cup of tea.

"This is a drink from China, and it was also given to me by the chairman, and he said that when thinking about problems, drinking tea is more useful than coffee, because this drink called tea can calm people and calm down, and when facing problems, calmness is often the most important. ”

"Thank you. Joseph thanked him, took the teacup, took a sip, and hurriedly talked to Thomas about the fake contract.

"I can be sure that I didn't sign a single letter on those contracts, all of them were forged by Luke, who signed them in my name. ”

"And I suspect that he is charging an additional benefit fee in addition to the share stipulated in the contract. ”

"I went to his office today, and he got a director who called himself Hank, and he said he wanted me to do a movie called 'Maneater,' but I didn't want to do that movie at all, and he threatened me that I had to work with him. ”

"Are you sure he explicitly threatened you? Did you have a recording at the time?" asked Thomas, who had been listening quietly to Joseph's story, suddenly interjected.

Joseph shook his head a little embarrassed, it was good that he was able to keep his composure in the face of an agent who suddenly tore his face.

It happened suddenly, and he didn't even think to record it.

"I knew he was the devil, I should have been prepared before I entered the office, but I naively thought I could get together with him, and even I said that I would pay the full amount of liquidated damages. Joseph said with his hands deep into his hair and a look of remorse.

Thomas laughed at this point.

"Joseph, don't put on such a sad face, Luke, I know that his reputation in the circle is not very good. ”

"And what is he, you come to our Max Films, we will naturally protect your interests, because we are now one, and your interests are also the interests of our Max Films. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas. Joseph said gratefully.

"NO, ALTHOUGH WE HAVEN'T OFFICIALLY SIGNED A CONTRACT YET, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOU CALL ME A BOSS. ”

"Of course, boss!" Joseph immediately changed his tune.

While the two were chatting, the lawyer team was also working very efficiently.

"The thirteenth part of the contract has loopholes that can be exploited. ”

"Item 27 is an obvious contractual trap that can be used as evidence in future litigation. ”

"Sixty-fifth ........."

Joseph felt that whether he could survive this difficult time depended on the lawyers, so although he talked to Thomas, he still focused part of his energy on the lawyers' side.

The lawyers' words came into his ears, and Joseph was both shocked and happy, shocked because he didn't expect that his seemingly normal contract would have so many loopholes and tricks, and fortunately he joined Max Films, and there were so many powerful lawyers to help.

After about forty minutes, the six lawyers sorted out the original and copies of the contract, and then one of the lawyers, who seemed to be in the lead, reported to Thomas: "President, we already have a general idea of the contract, please give us a day, and we will make a litigation plan for you." ”

"Yes. Thomas nodded in agreement, and the six lawyers left the room.

Thomas stood up with a smile, took out a personal business card and handed it to Joseph, and said, "Go home and rest for a day, wait for my call." ”

"Well, thank you again, Mr. Thomas. ”

"No, you have to thank the chairman. ”

"Of course, Director Nie is the person I respect the most. Joseph said quickly.

Joseph said this with full sincerity, everything he has encountered in the recent period of time has made Nie Wei's impression in his heart continue to rise, and now in Joseph's eyes, Nie Wei is simply like Don Corleone in the "Godfather" movie, which makes people feel very reliable, and it also makes him respect from the bottom of his heart.

A week later, Nie Wei once again made the headlines on Weibo's hot search list.

But this time it's not because of the movie, because the box office of "Inception" is still very good, although the daily box office data has decreased slightly because of the heat period, but it is within the normal range, and because the box office of "Inception" has exceeded 2 billion, there is a small rebound period in the middle.

Nie Wei is on the hot search because of another thing, and more specifically, because of a means of transportation.

The private jet that Nie Wei bought was finally exposed by the media.

The silver-white supercar-like streamlined fuselage, the wings full of personality are upturned at the tip, and the top data is of course, and the most important thing is the price that makes countless people stop.

In fact, this plane had landed at the airport in Kyoto as early as March, but Nie Weiwei did not use this plane until recently, when he was going to take his team to the United States to publicize, so that this expensive means of transportation appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

More than 60 million US dollars, this is the approximate quotation that the media only released Gulfstream, and the specific number of Gulfstream companies did not disclose, only said that on the basis of this price, because Nie Wei's customized Gulfstream G650 is not a basic model, but has been greatly transformed.

But based on this figure, the value of this aircraft is also more than 400 million Huaxia coins, which is much more expensive than those so-called 10 million supercars.

If any celebrity buys such a 'big toy', I am afraid that netizens will say that it is extravagant or even wasteful, but after Nie Wei's private jet was exposed, netizens' attention only focused on the private jet for a while, and they were amazed at the price for a while, and then they were even more surprised that Nie Wei only bought a private jet this year.

"No, I thought Nie Wei had a private jet and a private yacht for a long time, but I didn't expect him to buy his first private jet this year. ”

"Could Nie Wei be the most frugal super-rich man?"

"Hahaha, seeing this news, what does this make those bosses who are only a fraction or even a tenth of Nie Wei's worth think?"

Nie Wei's worth is 83 billion on this year's Forbes list, but anyone with a little brain knows that Nie Wei's wealth is definitely more than that, even if this number has made him the third place on the mainland wealth list.

Many people speculate that Nie Wei's worth could have become the richest man in the mainland long ago, and maybe he has surpassed Li Jufu in Hong Kong, and this statement has even been agreed by most people.

After all, the richest man on the list is Mr. Li from Qianbaidu, and in the public's impression, the development of Fanxing Weibo alone is no worse than that of Qianbaidu, not to mention that Nie Wei also owns so many theaters, film companies, and even game companies and technology companies.

And these have also become strong evidence for netizens to question the inaccuracy of the Forbes list.

In fact, the Forbes list is also very aggrieved, they can only rank according to the wealth revealed by the rich themselves, such as Nie Wei, who can hide his wealth, Forbes can't help it, if you speculate casually, it will make the list more inaccurate.

In the face of netizens' doubts, the Forbes list was silent, which made netizens feel that they were empty-hearted.

Of course, this kind of thing didn't make netizens struggle for too long, Nie Weiwei's money is not a matter of one or two days, and the subtle influence over the years, everyone has long accepted the fact that Nie Wei can make money very well.

At first, when Nie Wei first appeared on the Forbes list, everyone was surprised, and the topic was discussed for a week, and the heat did not dissipate, but now that Nie Wei has become the top three richest people in the mainland, everyone just took it for granted 'oh', and then casually left a sentence such as "Nie Wei's worth has risen again" and "This kid is too good at making money".

It's not the first time Nie Wei has entered his private jet, but it's the first time to fly into the blue sky on this plane.

Nie Wei's feeling is that it is really good to have his own private jet.

The decoration of the space is customized according to your own preferences, and you don't need to worry about other passengers, let alone accept the eyes that those passengers always cast on you.

Zhang Ziyi and Chen Daoming were also invited by Nie Wei to get on the plane, Chen Daoming had been communicating with the pilot before taking off, and asked the parameters of the plane one by one, while Zhang Ziyi was more curious about the decoration of the plane, and looked at the bar, bedroom, bathroom and even the toilet.

Then after returning to the cabin of the plane, he pulled Nie Wei and asked the price of the plane.

"It's about 460 million, and the plane itself is worth 430 million, but I also ordered the interior of the space, and the training fee for the pilot and the flight attendant are all included. ”

"Wow. Zhang Ziyi exclaimed and said with a smile: "This is the most expensive plane I have ever taken." ”

"Me too. Chen Daoming on the side also smiled.

Nie Wei smiled, did not take the topic again, but led the topic to American propaganda, among the three, Zhang Ziyi and Nie Wei are not strangers to Hollywood, only Chen Daoming is a 'rookie', so most of the topics are to talk to Chen Daoming about the propaganda strategies and precautions over there.

Chen Daoming is a little arrogant, but he is only arrogant in the field he is proud of, such as acting, and he will not hold on to things he doesn't understand, but humbly asks this Zhang Ziyi and Nie Wei.

After talking for more than an hour, the three of them were also a little tired, so they rested directly.

When Nie Wei woke up again, the plane was only half an hour away from Los Angeles, Nie Wei looked at his watch, and thought to himself that the money was really worth it, this Gulfstream G650 is really much faster than the usual ordinary airliner.

The three of them got off the plane, and Max Films' special car had been waiting at the airport gate for a long time.

The two cars were separated, one of them took Zhang Ziyi and Chen Daoming to the Manhattan hotel that had been booked a long time ago, while Nie Wei took the car to his private villa in Los Angeles.

When they came to the villa, Joseph and Thomas had been waiting here for a long time.

"How's it going? Nie Wei took off his coat and asked the two of them, he was naturally referring to Joseph's contract, Nie Wei has been very busy recently, and Joseph has been embarrassed to bother Nie Wei since he got Thomas's help, so Nie Wei really doesn't know much about Joseph's affairs.

"It's ready, and the net will be closed tomorrow. Thomas replied immediately, and Joseph on the side looked faintly excited and looking very excited.

"So it's a coincidence that I'm here, can I watch a good show?" Nie Wei joked.

"It's certainly not as good as your movie, but it's guaranteed to be great. Thomas patted Nie Wei's ass quite naturally.

"Director, no, boss, thank you for your help, I, as well as my parents, are grateful to you. Joseph also expressed his gratitude in a timely manner, if it weren't for Nie Wei, he would definitely be losing his hair now.

"Okay, as the boss, this is how it should be, I won't entertain you tonight, and I'll report back to the company tomorrow. Nie Wei calmly accepted Joseph's thanks.

Thomas and Joseph said goodbye to each other, and after leaving the villa, in the car, Thomas said solemnly to Joseph: "The chairman wants to watch a good show, remember to play well tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, I'll make Luke remember that day for the rest of his life. Joseph replied harshly.

Luke has been irritable lately, because Joseph has lost contact, and he has not been able to contact this 'cash cow' for a full week, which has made Luke very stressed.

Joseph's parting ways that day has been a big rock in Luke's heart lately.

Although there are more than a dozen star artists he has accepted, there are not many who can really bring him a lot of benefits, Joseph's sudden popularity made him see hope, but he didn't expect that hope had just begun, and he fell into a huge disappointment.

Fortunately, he still has a few hands to prepare, in his opinion, these means can at least allow Joseph to be honestly controlled by himself during the contract period of the next year, and in a year's time, he can completely squeeze out the value of Joseph and make a lot of money.

As for whether Joseph's career will be hurt because of this, that is no longer something Luke needs to consider, after all, that kid is already about to 'break up' with him.

It's just that he can't contact Joseph all the time, he has signed so many contracts, and some of these companies are already communicating with him about the shooting date, and if Joseph doesn't show up for a long time, his pressure will increase.

"If you just go to his parents, will Joseph be able to hide for a year?" Luke thought to himself, when a convex and backward artificial beauty knocked on the door and walked into Luke's office.

"Boss, Joseph has come and said he wants to see you. ”

"Ah, let him come to my office. When Luke heard that Joseph was coming, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself that it was not necessary to be obedient until now.

It's just that when Joseph shows up in his office, Luke is a little surprised, because Joseph didn't come alone.
