Chapter 152 Mutual Respect (2nd Update)
After pondering for a moment, Wei Zheng smiled helplessly, full of ridicule, and said to a beautiful woman sitting next to him drinking tea with him: "I can't imagine that my Wei Zheng's name can't invite a little newcomer in the entertainment industry, you have to remember, I can be regarded as pulling down the old face for your business." ”
The beauty on the side has a simple ponytail, she looks like she should be almost forty years old, and her temperament is very quiet, not like a strong woman at all.
is such a mature woman who looks soft and weak, but she is one of the few well-known female directors in China, her name is Lin Fei, not long ago a literary film called "Bookmark", just received a nomination for an A-level film award from abroad, although she failed to win the award directly, but it also proved her ability.
is different from the big productions that director Wei Zheng often shoots around her, many of her films are mostly literary films, youth films, and mainly heartfelt.
However, this kind of distracted movie is easy to be self-defeating and evolve into a situation where the director is self-congratulatory, and the market for this kind of film is not mainstream in the first place, so even though she is very well-known in China, she is inferior to Wei Zheng in terms of status.
This is also the reason why she wants to invite someone in the name of Wei Zheng.
Of course, if it is an ordinary newcomer, he will not refuse when he hears the name of director Lin Fei. But the other party is Li Xiaotong, who is a newcomer who does not play cards according to common sense. Let's ask, which newcomer rushed to fight with the host in the first variety show on her debut? Although she stands on the truth, what she talks about in the entertainment industry is not the reason, but fame and status.
But in such a utilitarian environment, Li Xiaotong can protect himself regardless of the criticism of others, not to mention newcomers, it is difficult for many kings and queens to do it.
What Lin Fei likes is Li Xiaotong's straightforwardness and fearlessness, which is not arrogant, but a kind of arrogance.
Therefore, Lin Fei thought early on that Li Xiaotong might refuse, after all, for Li Xiaotong, it may not matter what the identity of the person who invited her is, the important thing is that she is inconvenient and willing to come.
Lin Fei smiled at Wei Zheng and said in her unique gentle voice: "I have written down this favor of Director Wei, and if there is a place where I need help in the future, I will not blink an eye when I go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire." ”
Listening to the crispy and numb voice and making such a joke, Wei Zheng also felt quite enjoyable, and his mood was much better, he also smiled, "Then I'll let Xiao Tao accompany them to finish eating and bring it over." ”
After speaking, he instructed Tao Zijing on the phone: "Accompany them to dinner, and come back after eating." ”
"This ........." Tao Zijing didn't expect Director Wei to choose such a compromise, and the shock in her heart was even more. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the time? Is there a time limit?"
Wei Zheng said: "Don't put pressure on them, just let them come back after eating, this is what Director Lin meant." But you also pay a little attention to the time, not too long. ”
"Then I see. Tao Zijing said.
Wei Zheng hummed and hung up the phone.
Tao Zi sighed quietly, she understood that Director Wei meant that Li Xiaotong belonged to a distinguished guest, and he should treat each other politely and try his best to meet the other party's requirements. But while meeting the requirements, you have to control it a little, and you can't go too far, otherwise you will wait for five or six hours, even if Director Wei is willing to wait, there may not be time to wait.
As for the exact amount of time, it is up to her to grasp it.
Tao Zijing put away the phone and said to Lu Pingfan: "Director Wei said, it's okay to let you finish eating in the past, they are willing to wait, but I hope not to wait too long." ”
When Lu Pingfan heard such a result, he was also slightly stunned. He thought that the other party would be angry and not meet him, but he didn't expect that Director Wei would be willing to deign to spend time waiting for a newcomer to eat. This is simply full of sincerity, Rao is Lu Pingfan is not too embarrassed to waste time.
Although in his eyes, no matter how big a director is, it is not as important as his sister's meal, but for the director, choosing to wait is not easy in itself.
As it is often said on the Internet, what you feel is useless may be the best thing that someone else can come up with.
Others respect you, and you have to respect others, it's mutual.
But Lu Pingfan finally asked his sister's opinion: "What do you think? If you want to go, you can go, and if you don't want to go, you won't go." ”
Li Xiaotong asked Tao Zijing: "Director Wei asked me to make a movie?" ”
Tao Zijing said: "There are many actors who start to learn acting after being photographed by the director, and there will be professional guidance during the filming process. It may be that Director Wei has taken a fancy to a certain trait in you that he wants, and he thinks that you fit the role in his play before he wants to find you. ”
"That means that even if I go to make a movie, I won't cause people trouble?" asked Li Xiaotong.
"It can't be said to be troublesome, guiding you to improve your acting skills is also part of the director's responsibility. You are a newcomer, don't be stressed, and the matter is not completely settled, I suggest that you meet with Director Wei first before deciding whether to cooperate. Tao Zijing patiently explained.
She is now also beginning to wonder what kind of girl Li Xiaotong is. In this case, you can still think about not causing trouble to others, such a quality is not only rare in the entertainment industry, but also very rare in real life.
Li Xiaotong listened to Tao Zijing's words, agreed without thinking about it, turned his head and said to his brother: "Then let's go eat steak, that one is faster, the spicy crayfish may take a long time, and I will eat it again next time." ”
"Good. Lu Pingfan said.
Then, Tao Zijing also took advantage of Li Xiaotong's light to follow a meal. In the process of eating, she learned that Lu Pingfan was not Li Xiaotong's agent, but Li Xiaotong's brother.
She asked why the agent was not there and if the agent was not there if the work would be affected, and the answer she got was that there was no need to worry.
Under normal circumstances, it is necessary for an artist to agree with the agent to talk about work, which is also one of the terms of the contract with the agent.
But Shen Nian herself is not the kind of person who takes rights very seriously, and Li Xiaotong's income should be given to her without a penny, so she doesn't care so much. With Lu Pingfan following Li Xiaotong to help Li Xiaotong give advice, she was a lot easier.
Tao Zijing felt that the agent configuration around Li Xiaotong was very strange, but this kind of thing had nothing to do with outsiders, and she didn't talk much, so she could only finish the meal honestly, and then take the two of them to see Director Wei.
