Chapter 32: A Chance Encounter with Ozil
Warm sunlight pours through the glass windows, shining on an orange-yellow table for two, which includes an open laptop and a steaming cup of coffee. A young man sat on a sofa chair next to a two-person table, his face was delicate, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were slightly dark, and he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.
"Dad, do you miss me?"
"Uncle, why didn't you call me?"
"Dad, come with me to the movies, watch the children watch. ”
"Uncle, are you tired? I'll give you a beating on the back. ”
"Little sister, dad misses you, wife, lighter, yes, that's the strength, well, that's it, keep it up, I'll give you a massage later." ”
"Little sister, don't go, come to Dad's place. ”
"Wife, where are you?
Li Xiuping sat up suddenly, he looked around, and found himself in a café, he shook his head, and quickly remembered that he had been immersed in the script in recent days, in order to write four new small cases, he came to a café near the rental room, while drinking coffee to refresh himself, while thinking with all his might, the effect was good, in just five days, Li Xiuping thought about two small cases, but today was too sleepy, he couldn't help but fall asleep on the sofa.
Li Xiuping saw his daughter and wife before crossing in his sleep, but they all left him in the end, and he woke up in fright.
Li Xiuping came back to his senses, he shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the coffee on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then asked the waiter to refill a cup, after the waiter brought the coffee again, Li Xiuping took a small sip of coffee, and then he told him to calm down and complete the script of the second season of "Sin in the Heart". However, Li Xiuping still couldn't help but think of that nightmare, and he could no longer write the script wholeheartedly.
Li Xiuping doesn't have much time to write the script, he can't stop, according to his past experience, once he stops creating, it will be difficult to enter the state again after his mind is relaxed, and it will be even more difficult to write well when the time comes, so Li Xiuping kept telling him to be calm and continue to write the script. However, he tried for ten minutes, but it didn't work, and he had no choice but to close his laptop, turn his eyes out the window, and look at the street outside the café, hoping to calm his chaotic thoughts.
"Classmate, it's not me bragging, our company is really powerful, if you want to say that the level of the national teacher Xiaogang Cannon, we really can't get in touch, but other directors, Zhao Baogang! Hu Mei! Yu Ma! They are all old partners of our company, and our company's artists are in their plays, it's just a matter of one sentence. ”
"Really?"
A male voice and a female voice sounded, Li Xiuping felt familiar when he heard the female voice, turned his head and saw that it was Reba, not far behind Li Xiuping, Reba sat opposite a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
"It's necessary, otherwise why do you think I'm going to find Li Xiuping? Aren't I just going to him to talk about his new play?" the middle-aged man said arrogantly.
"But you are so powerful, why do you fall in love with me? I haven't acted yet?" Reba was dressed in a short white dress, her long hair was fluttering, and she felt like a little fairy.
"Classmate, you are too unconfident, look at your appearance, your figure, absolutely Hua Dan, as long as you join our company, you will definitely be popular all over the country. ”
"Thank you, thank you for being so optimistic about me, but ......"
"What else is there to consider, classmate, aren't you going to school in SH? I can tell you, SH's resources are definitely not as good as BJ's, and there are not many film and television dramas over there. You join our company now, I can arrange for you to act immediately, you go to Li Xiuping, I know him, Li Xiuping's "Sin in the Heart 2", this is the investment of Tengxun, Tengxun estimates that all the roles have already been arranged, it is useless for you to find Li Xiuping, but just look for me, because our company is a strategic partnership with Tengxun, arrange a person, it is too simple. ”
"Uncle, I'm ......"
"Don't me, I'll sign it, I have a contract here, sign it, you will be an actress like Zhao Yanzi in the future, a female star held by 1.3 billion people in China. ”
"I'm sorry, but I have to think about it. ”
"Hey, why are you so ignorant? The opportunity is fleeting, you can't waste it like this, I delayed an important contract because I gave you a briefing, you know? You can't do this? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ......" Reba was anxious, she wanted to find a way to say, but she didn't know how to say it.
"It's still a good boy to change your mistakes, come, sign the contract, and I'll take you to the crew immediately. ”
"I really can't, I can't sign. ”
"Why?" the middle-aged man asked with some irritation.
"I ......" Reba spoke in Chinese, and he couldn't say it at all when he was nervous.
"Classmate, it's not a good behavior to deceive people, you lie to me like this, let me tell you, don't want to mix in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future, I said, our company is a partner with big directors and big companies, no one likes your behavior, do you know? If it weren't for your good qualifications, I wouldn't waste time chatting with you, you can't live up to my sincerity?" The middle-aged man forced Reba to look at him and said sternly.
Reba lowered her head, she grabbed the corner of her skirt, and was nervous in her heart, "What should I do? Just run away immediately, but this person knows my name, their company really banned me, I can't act in the future, what should I do? I don't want to sign a contract, why does he have to force me?"
"Ozil, what are you doing here?"
A crisp male voice sounded, Reba looked up and found that it was Li Xiuping, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Director, I finally saw you, I have something to look for you, I have something to tell you." ”
Li Xiuping nodded, "Then let's go, let's talk in another place." ”
Reba nodded violently, then smiled at the middle-aged man, got up and chased after Li Xiuping.
"Hey, this friend, please stay?" The middle-aged man followed up and walked towards Li Xiuping.
"What's the matter?"
"May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Li Xiuping. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Director Li, long admiring and long-awaiting. The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand, "My name is Ye Liangchen, and I am the marketing manager of Jingya Brokerage Company. ”
Li Xiuping has really heard that this is a headhunting agency that specializes in recommending and contacting star actors to directors, if Ye Liangchen is indeed a person from this company, then their company does have a close relationship with some directors and can influence the role candidates of some film and television dramas. But Li Xiuping doesn't like such headhunting companies very much, the entertainment industry is actually very small, and there is no need for others to do it for them, some directors use headhunting companies to find actors, this is an extra procedure, if there is no cat, there will be ghosts.
Li Xiuping is not noble in sentiment, he thinks that the director can't get kickbacks, this kind of thing that one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, Li Xiuping can understand. What he doesn't like is that the headhunting company is essentially sharing the director's power, Li Xiuping thinks that what actors to choose, how much salary to invite, what conditions should be required in the performance contract, these things are the work of the director and the producer, not deceived by the headhunting company, Li Xiuping hates this unknown uncontrollable situation, he feels that the director will be used by the headhunting company like a fool.
So Li Xiuping didn't have a good face towards Ye Liangchen, he didn't shake hands with Ye Liangchen, just nodded, "Oh, I know, what's the matter with you?"
"Our company admires your ability very much, I don't know if it is an honor to cooperate with you?" Ye Liangchen didn't care about Li Xiuping's attitude and smiled.
Li Xiuping shook his head, "No." ”
After the words fell, Li Xiuping turned around and left, Reba looked at Li Xiuping in surprise, and then hurriedly caught up, Ye Liangchen didn't expect Li Xiuping to refuse so simply, he squinted his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the direction of Li Xiuping's departure.
Ten minutes later, Li Xiuping sat on a stone chair on the side of the road, "What are you looking for me?"
"Isn't there a new drama for you......? No, it's not, I can do it for free. ”
Li Xiuping couldn't help laughing, "Have you told other directors twice?"
"No, I've told you twice just for you. ”
"Ozil, I don't know you well, why did you come to me?"
Reba glared at Li Xiuping and muttered, "You are Ozil." ”
"What do you say? ”
I said...... I said, you are younger, and it is better to communicate with you, so I came to you today to try. ”
Li Xiuping laughed, "You should start school, why are you still in BJ?"
"We started school early, the military training is over, and I came to get my salary. ”
"Salary transfer is not enough, why come here in person. ”
"The boss said that the employee must sign the resignation letter, otherwise he will not be paid. Reba replied seriously.
"Did you get paid?"
"No, the boss said he was busy and asked me to go in the evening and invited me to dinner by the way. ”
Li Xiuping glanced at Reba and said in his heart, "This stupid girl, I can't calm down and write the script now, so I just go over with this stupid girl to get a salary, lest she be deceived and don't know." ”
