Chapter 162: Xiaobai filming
When Gu Tong relayed Xiao Mo's original words to Jiang Ailing, the latter was stunned for two or three minutes, and she couldn't believe her ears.
Since the establishment of the crew of "Love of People and Foxes", the people of Xinghan Film and Television have been quite respectful to her, almost responding, even if some of the requirements are more demanding, they finally agreed.
In Jiang Ailing's mind, the investor took a fancy to her strong appeal, and needed to use her popularity to make "Love of the Human Fox" popular between her and the little fox. Definitely on her side, but the result was a big surprise.
She couldn't figure out if she was really less important than a fox.
In the final analysis, she is just an actor, and she has not yet become a first-line celebrity, if she really angers the investor, it is not too difficult for the other party to block her in anger.
There are countless actors and stars who have been hidden because they have offended the entertainment company, not too many of her, and many of them, and their arms can't reach their thighs. It is absolutely unwise to go against the investor.
Jiang Ailing is self-aware, the big guy behind her just treats her as a plaything, and occasionally helps her, but he will never turn his face for her and Xinghan Film and Television.
Thinking about this clearly, Jiang Ailing had to give up her face. Pulled Gu Tong into the distance, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry Sister Gu, my tone was not very good before, don't take it to heart, please tell Mr. Xiao." Since I have signed the contract, I will definitely fulfill it and continue to shoot this drama well. ”
Seeing that she hadn't seen through the essence of the matter, Gu Tong sighed and kindly reminded: "You shouldn't apologize to me, the key lies in the owner of the little fox, that Mr. Li Yan, do you understand?"
Jiang Ailing was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't see anything special about Li Yan.
Selling goods all over the place, not wearing a famous brand or a famous watch, even the mobile phone is a domestic thousand-yuan machine, a typical dick silk look, this kind of person deserves her to give up her body to apologize?
However, after Gu Tong's reminder, she realized that her idea was wrong.
The reason why the boss of Xinghan Film and Television chose to stand on the side of the little fox is not because of how important the fox is, but because the identity of the fox's owner is not ordinary.
Turning her head and quietly glancing at Li Yan, Jiang Ailing bit her lower lip and asked, "Sister Gu, can you reveal what is the identity of that Mr. Li, is he very familiar with your Mr. Xiao?"
"I don't know exactly who I am. The day before yesterday, I invited you to attend the opening ceremony of a restaurant, which was the restaurant he opened, and the people who went to congratulate were elites from all walks of life, luxury cars lined up from the street to the end of the street, and the He family and the Cao family of the four major families of Funing all sent people to the scene. ”
Jiang Ailing's heart trembled, the four major families of Funing are all famous big families in the entire south, even the Xiao family, which is at the bottom of the ranking, has assets of tens of billions.
Such a wealthy family wants to give Li Yan face, no wonder the people of Xinghan Film and Television would rather have a stiff relationship with her than give up that little fox.
Jiang Ailing regretted it to the extreme, Gu Tong invited her to attend the opening ceremony of the restaurant that night, but she had a low eye, and she looked down on a small restaurant at all, so she directly made an excuse to refuse, and missed an opportunity to expand her contacts in vain.
Knowing that she can't afford to offend Li Yan, Jiang Ailing no longer cares, although it is more embarrassing to apologize, it is better than being hidden in the snow and ruining a good star career.
Walked up to Li Yan. Jiang Ailing bent down slightly and said, "I'm really sorry Mr. Li, I was unreasonable just now, and I ask you not to remember the villain." ”
Li Yan was also surprised, he saw Gu Tong make a phone call, and then whispered a few words to the big star, and the other party's attitude suddenly changed, obviously someone put pressure on Jiang Ailing, and she pulled down her face to apologize when she was desperate.
As a man, of course, you can't be too concerned with women, and besides, people have put down their posture and apologized, and the matter is over.
Guo Yanqiu and Shen Yunyun didn't show too much surprise.
They know that Li Yan is not as simple as it seems on the surface, although Jiang Ailing is not low-fame, and the aura of a big star makes her look glamorous, but strictly speaking, she is just a play, and she will naturally not be able to get benefits from going against a boss who is really powerful and has a background.
There were dozens of staff on the set, and only a few people knew the inside story, and the other actors were shocked when they saw this scene.
The most famous of the entire crew is undoubtedly Jiang Ailing, even she has to bow her head and admit her mistakes, it can be seen that the young man who is not good-looking has an unusual appearance, and many people began to secretly inquire about Li Yan's identity.
After learning a lesson, Jiang Ailing was much more honest and very cooperative in her work. After the start-up ceremony, the TV series entered the official filming stage.
The story is rather old-fashioned, the heroine was originally a little fox who was injured by a hunter and fell into a coma and was rescued by a passing scholar.
The little fox thanked the scholar for saving his life, and after five hundred years of cultivation in the mountains, he finally cultivated to perfection and went down the mountain to find the scholar to repay his kindness.
Five hundred years have passed, the scholar has long been reincarnated in the ninth generation, and the fox spirit and the reincarnated scholar have started a shemale romance, during which there have been many twists and turns that can be sung and cried...; …;
As soon as the opening scene was a little fox, Xiaobai's IQ was not low, and he successfully completed his performance under the guidance of Li Yan, and the onlookers were dumbfounded.
"This little fox is really a natural actor, and I was worried that it would not cooperate and affect the filming schedule, but now it seems that the progress can be faster than the original plan. The director praised that Xiaobai's performance gave him a big surprise.
The little fox's play is basically passed over once, but the other leading actors laugh from time to time, or the performance is not in place, wasting a lot of film.
At lunchtime, Xiaobai also has a boxed lunch, but it is too picky. He didn't bother to eat this kind of rough and rotten food at all, and as the owner, Li Yan helped it do it for him.
He knew that the little guy was a picky eater, so he had already prepared, and took out the thermos box from his backpack, which contained two large pieces of braised giant rhino meat, so that Xiaobai could feast on it.
The director also came over with a box of lunches, sat next to Li Yan and said, "Mr. Li, Xiaobai's excellent performance is really beyond my expectations, I discussed it with the assistant director just now." We decided to add some scenes to Xiaobai, I wonder if you can accept it?"
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Xiaobai's enthusiastic appearance, he agreed to the director's request.
The crew added a scene where the fox spirit incarnated as the main body and fought with a snake demon, the big snake was a prop bought by the crew, and a lot of money was spent, and after the filming of a fight scene, the director was about to cry.
Xiaobai's claws are too sharp, and the big snake props are about to be dismantled, and they are thrown away as garbage after filming.
Everyone saw the violent side of the little fox, and they were all confused, and Jiang Ailing thought of the sharp claws, if they hit her face, they would be disfigured in an instant.
She was secretly glad. Fortunately, Li Yan didn't sell the little fox to her, otherwise the fox would have gone crazy one day.
There was no little fox play in the afternoon, Li Yan left early with Xiaobai in his arms and went to the fake taste restaurant to check the business situation in the morning.
The restaurant still lacks a manager, and Ma Chengyan temporarily replaces him, and Li Yan can't find a suitable candidate for a short time.
After looking at the bill, the peak turnover of the noon meal exceeded 100,000 in one fell swoop, which frightened Li Yan, and the rise was a little scary.
I asked Ma Chengyan to find out. At noon, a few repeat customers came to the store, and Zhao Danian and Wu Canghai all dragged their families to dine together.
Yesterday Zhao Danian only ate two dishes and got drunk, woke up regretting beating his chest, today he came to make up for it with his family, and only their family of eight contributed 5,000 yuan in turnover.
Although Wu Canghai's family only has five people, it cost nearly 4,000 yuan to pick the most expensive points.
In addition, a nearby company held a dinner, which cost more than 10,000 yuan in total, and handled a first-class VIP membership card at the checkout.
"By the way, there are two people applying for the chef job in the morning, and I haven't made a decision if you are not there, so let them come over at eight o'clock tonight for an interview. Ma Chengyan said.
Finally a chef applied for the job, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Ma Chengyan's tired appearance, he was a little unbearable, making himself the same as the black-hearted boss who squeezed labor.
Li Yan estimated that at least three chefs need to be recruited, otherwise the kitchen will definitely be too busy when it comes to the peak of dining, which will affect the speed of serving food, and the number of customers will be lost over time.
Three chefs mean an extra 30,000 yuan a month, but the wages of the employees are only a drop in the bucket compared to the profits generated by the restaurant, and if you want the horses to run, you have to feed them enough grass.
The chef is hard, and the part-time waiter is also not easy, Li Yan gave them a booster, and all the restaurant staff will be given an additional subsidy of 100 yuan per day on the basis of the original remuneration.
Part-time staff can get 20 yuan per hour, work 8 hours a day, plus a subsidy of 100 yuan, they can earn 260 yuan a day, plus some tips, and a monthly income of more than 8,000!
Funing's salary level is not very high, the monthly salary of 8,000 is higher than more than half of the white-collar workers, and some part-time college students even consider whether to come to work here directly after graduation in the future.
Of course, there is no gain if you don't pay, and a high salary means that the requirements are relatively high.
Li Yan wants to make the fake taste restaurant feel at home, and the waiter must be kind and smiling to talk to customers.
The recruits are all students of Funing University, and the cultural level and quality are not low, Li Yan also entrusted the relationship, and asked the leader of the school etiquette team to give special etiquette training to the waiters to ensure the quality of service.
