Chapter 8, Nightclubs

"Coffee Order" is the name of a high-end coffee shop on the west side of the parking lot, because it is close to the film and television city, looking at the ancient buildings of the 30s in the magic capital, drinking coffee makes this place full of poetry.

However, the fee is also high, and Lei Weidong, who is shy in his pocket, saw this coffee shop when he first came to the magic capital, and saw that many of the customers inside were dressed in the service of the thirties, and he didn't know how much spit he had behind his back.

It's all instant coffee, and it's not ground from coffee beans, so it's worth spending so much money?

I can't even drink this coffee!

It's just that I didn't expect to bring a goddess-level beauty in for coffee, although this beauty is a few years older than herself, but it can already make Lei Weidong feel supremely vain.

Find a quiet corner and sit down!

Li Yan ordered a latte, while Lei Weidong only ordered a glass of water, and the waiter who came to serve had a contemptuous expression on his face, as if to say, "Poor B dares to soak such a big beauty!"

Li Yan obviously understood the meaning of the male waiter's expression, so she smiled at the waiter, "It's too hot, my boyfriend has been on fire recently, and he can only drink water......"

The lethality of this plan was very hot, and the waiter looked stunned and walked away with a hint of disappointment on his face.

And Lei Weidong was also stunned, this woman doesn't look as simple as she looks, you have to be careful for a while, don't be trapped.

Li Yan is indeed a goddess-level beauty, she looks quiet on the outside, and there is innocence in her eyes, but if she feels that she is a silly white sweet, then you can only say that you have no beads.

"Who drafted your contract, it's really standardized, there is no flaw at all, and all the places that can be avoided have been avoided, so that people can't jump out of the problem at all, the key is that the liquidated damages are not high, only 200,000!".

To Lei Weidong's surprise, Li Yan did not talk about the script, but talked about the contract.

"It's me, what's the problem?"

After more than ten years in the sales market and drafting hundreds of contracts, Lei Weidong has long become a veteran, and the reason why the liquidated damages are set at 200,000 yuan is also well thought-out.

For rich people, this money is not much, it is not worth the lawsuit, wasting manpower and material resources, and for themselves, it is just enough to start up. It can be said that you can leave a line of life and see each other in the future.

"Don't make movies, come to work in my law firm, you see your level of drafting contracts, you know the law very well, a monthly salary of 8,000, I invite you!" Li Yan put down the contract, took the coffee sent by the waiter, and blew gently!

"Work at your place!" Lei Weidong's brain was a little insufficient.

"This is my business card!" Seeing a hint of panic in Lei Weidong's eyes, Li Yan was obviously very satisfied!

The hateful boy actually fooled the old lady, waiting for you to come over, see how the old lady cleans you up, and punish you for cleaning the toilet every day, and it is a women's toilet.

"Li Yan, Hongda Law Firm, you are a lawyer!" Looking at the company name and phone number on the business card, Lei Weidong was taken aback.

In 1999, in the eyes of many mainlanders, lawyers were still an unfamiliar profession.

Because the judicial system in the mainland is completely different from that in foreign countries!

In the developed countries of Europe and the United States, it is the world of rich people, so lawyers are very popular, because rich people can hire barristers.

Just like the United States, the most developed country in the world is also the country with the most lawyers in the world, and it is also the most developed country in the world in terms of lawyers. Someone joked, "A blind man reached out in the crowd of New York and touched several lawyers." ”

Of course, with the development of the economy, lawyers in some developed areas in the mainland, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, are becoming more and more popular.

Just like Hong Kong, because of its self-proclaimed international metropolis, various financial industries are thriving here, and lawyers are naturally indispensable.

It is said that at the beginning of the 21st century, there were hundreds of law firms in Hong Kong, large and small, with more than 800 barristers, more than 5,000 practicing lawyers, and more than 30,000 employees in the entire industry.

"Why don't you believe it, I'm a master of law from Yale University, and I just returned to China a week ago to set up my own law firm, and I came here today to see a friend, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands!"

Because the coffee was a little hot, Li Yan took a small spoon and stirred it gently!

"Look at your dress, you know that you are very short of money, are you taking advantage of the summer vacation to work, come to me, although the salary is not high, but your tuition and living expenses should be enough!"

"Do you look down on my script and think you can't make money?" Lei Weidong picked up the water and drank it slowly.

It's no different from a bottle of mineral water for a dollar, and it sells for ten yuan a cup here, which is really dark!

"The script is well written, it has great potential, and it can be big with a small one, but!" Li Yan picked up the script and raised it, "Do you know what the film market is now?"

Don't say that you are an unknown person, even Lao Mouzi, Feng Gangpao, and Director Chen Da can't make money from the movies, otherwise there wouldn't be so many film companies going out of business. ”

So you might as well come to work with me, and my sister will support you......"

"Before you say that you will raise me, please introduce yourself first and see if you have any strength!" Lei Weidong shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of please.

"Yes, I'll come first!" Li Yan smiled, "Li Yan, twenty-five years old, Yale University LL.M., family secrecy, is now the owner of a law firm in Modu!"

"Lei Weidong, 19 years old, just took the college entrance examination, will enter Jinling without accident, majoring in finance at Normal University, family secrecy, going to the magic capital for his dreams, otherwise he can only go back to school. ”

Lei Weidong's tone is quite like the atmosphere of the second generation of the rich in later generations fighting for their dreams, "If I fail, I can only go back and inherit hundreds of millions of family properties!"

"You're still a high school student!"

"Yes!"

The old lady has really been moldy for eight lifetimes, and she was fooled by high school students, and she is still a teacher major.

"If a person like you becomes a teacher, the students will be unlucky!" Li Yan flipped through the script depressedly, "It is estimated that a group of financial fraudsters will be taught!"

"That's good, just let your lawyers make more money!" Lei Weidong smiled, not caring about Li Yan's ridicule, "In our country, don't lawyers like to play financial and divorce cases the most?"

“……”

Li Yan opened her mouth and didn't say anything!

She felt that if she continued to talk, she would be angry with the other party, it was a pity that Lei Weidong was not a lawyer, his mouth was really stinky.

"You need to invest 1.2 million yuan in this script, although the money is not much, but I can ask, let's not talk about the release, do you want to find someone to play the role here, and the key to the success of a small-budget movie depends on the actors!"

"Of course I thought about it, making movies is my dream, and I'm not one of those liars who fool around with a script!" Lei Weidong shrugged.

No matter how Li Yan looked at that expression, he suspected that he was a liar, but he was just a fledgling.

"Heroine Tang Xiaolian, I choose Li Bin!"

"Li Bin hasn't heard of this name, you won't pull it on the street, right?" Li Yan looked disdainful.

There are too many things for investors to use female stars under the unspoken rules of movies, although Lei Weidong in front of him is only 19 years old, he has to guard against it.

"How is it possible, am I that kind of person?" Lei Weidong looked angry, "Li Bin, the 93rd undergraduate class of the Performance Department of the Modu Drama Academy, won the first prize in the national first prize for the sketch written and performed by himself during the school, although he is not famous now, he is definitely the seed of a big star. ”

"What about the actor He Sanshui, this is the soul of the movie, who are you going to choose?" Hearing that Li Bin was born in a professional class, Li Yan also had some confidence in Lei Weidong's casting.

In these years, the movie is not as popular as it was later, and those who can enter the acting department of the Modu Drama Academy must not mention their acting skills, not to mention that the sketches written and acted by Li Bin can also win the national first prize, and his talent can be certain.

"If I have enough funds, I want to choose Uncle Ge!Of course......" Looking at Li Yan with your stupid look, Lei Weidong hurriedly changed his words, "If the funds are not enough, I will start Chen Xiaoer!"

"Chen Xiaoer, how did you choose him!" Hearing this name, Li Yan was taken aback, "You should know that if you invite him, the movie will be released ......"

"Let's not talk about the release yet, how about Chen Xiaoer playing He Sanshui?" Lei Weidong waved his hand, saying that he would talk about it after the release, and first talk about the actors.

"Chen Xiaoer, both in terms of fame and acting skills, is He Sanshui's best candidate, and he is also very cheap!" Li Yan nodded.

Chen Xiaoer, a national first-class comedian, in 1984, at CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, he and his partner Uncle Zhu performed the sketch "Eating Noodles", which was known to the audience.

Since then, he has appeared in sketches at the Spring Festival Gala many times, including "The Protagonist and the Supporting Role", "The Police and the Thief", "Mutton Skewers", "The Big Change" and other popular works.

What's even more commendable is that he has also made a lot of movies, especially comedy movies, "Son Opens a Shop", "Father and Son Classic Car", "The Two Open a Song Hall" and so on are all popular and popular movies.

It's a pity that such an excellent actor and artist, for some reasons, left the stage after performing "The King and the Postman" at the Spring Festival Gala in 98.

And this is just the beginning, for some reason, almost overnight, various TV stations and performance units no longer pursue him, and he can no longer receive any invitations to commercial performances related to the radio and television system.

Without the income of commercial performances, Chen Xiaoer Film and Television Company can only announce its closure. At that time, it was said that Chen Xiaoer's daughter paid 280 yuan in the second semester of the first grade of primary school, but Chen Xiaoer dug all over his pockets and only had 147 yuan on his body, so he could only carry his daughter home to find his wife Wang Yanling to get the money.

From supporting a company by himself to not even being able to pay for his daughter's tuition, this sense of loss from high diving made him cry.

Fortunately, my wife still has some old books, and when Chen Xiaoer was the most beautiful last year and wanted to fight a lawsuit with the above, she thought of a way out and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to contract 10,000 acres of wasteland in a village called Xishan Village.

Now Chen Xiaoer and his wife, they planted pomegranates in the deep mountains and used them as sustenance for their future life.

It can be said that if Chen Xiaoer is invited to make a movie now, he couldn't be invited for 1 million yuan before, but now he can get it for 20,000 yuan.

"I am going to choose Xu Zheng to play Zhu Liao, who wants to be famous, he is an actor at the Modu Drama Art Center, and won the Best Actor Award at the 10th Magnolia Drama Awards last year for his participation in the drama "The Color of Stocks".

Although I haven't acted in a movie, my ability is definitely enough, as for other actors, photography, behind the scenes, I am ready to ask Chen Xiaoer for help, he has been in the film and television industry for so long, although the film company has gone bankrupt, but the network has accumulated, as long as you spend money, everything is not a problem.
