It's mid-September, and everything is harvesting in the golden autumn, and the first movie "I Believe" by Meng Ren Film and Television is getting closer and closer to the official start.

With the joint efforts of the members and their relatives and friends, after 20 days of traveling, Mai Xiaoyu finally finalized all the shooting locations.

After the director is in place, the actors are auditioned, and all the roles are determined, Zhang Xiaoquan pulls over the group of assistants and apprentices from various departments who are as depressed as him, and the crew's boat can set sail.

This afternoon, Qiu Yunhui, the director of Qiu, flew from the East China Sea to Yanjing.

The fame is not big, the pomp is not small, and the five assistants pushed a lot of salutes and walked out of the airport proudly.

"Lao Qiu here!"

Zhang Xiaoquan waved the stop sign and shouted loudly, Qiu Yunhui's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses.

Lao Qiu is also your name?

Surrounded by five assistants, Qiu Yunhui walked over and hummed casually.

Zhang Xiaoquan pulled Mai Xiaoyu and introduced: "Lao Qiu, this is our cute Mr. Mai." Mr. Mai, he is the Qiu Dao I mentioned to you. ”

Mai Xiaoyu smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello Director Qiu, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

Qiu Yunhui turned a blind eye and walked straight past Mai Xiaoyu, and the personal assistant said expressionlessly: "Let's go, where is the car?

When he came to the parking lot, he saw Mai Xiaoyu's Volvo and Zhang Xiaoquan's Poussin, and then heard that the star-rated hotel had not been booked, Qiu Yunhui was dissatisfied: "This is the special car you promised me?"

"I'll fork your mother's ......," Zhang Xiaoquan was furious, "What do you mean by the surname Qiu? When you were down, all the wine that Lao Tzu invited you to drink was in the dog's stomach!"

When Zhang Xiaoquan and Qiu Yunhui intersected in Weiwei, Zhang Xiaoquan was a camera assistant and Qiu Yunhui was an assistant director at that time, and they were not in the crew.

One night when the crew finished work, the two accidentally met at the night market, and the two unwilling guys picked a street stall, a plate of edamame and a plate of peanuts, and even a meat skewer was reluctant to order, and drank the whole beer.

After drinking, the two hooked shoulders and vowed to get ahead in the entertainment industry, and made a promise to "don't forget each other".

Well, it was Zhang Xiaoquan who settled the account that night.

Later, Qiu Yunhui became the assistant director, Zhang Xiaoquan was still the assistant to the director, Qiu Yunhui became the executive director, Zhang Xiaoquan was still the assistant to the camera, Qiu Yunhui became the director, and Zhang Xiaoquan ...... Or a photography assistant.

After so many years, the gap between the two has become wider and wider, and the promise of "don't forget each other" has not been mentioned again.

Zhang Xiaoquan couldn't wipe off his face, and he was embarrassed to ask Qiu Yunhui for help; as for Qiu Yunhui, according to Mai Xiaoyu's judgment, he had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, and he might even forget Zhang Xiaoquan.

And that's exactly what happened. If it weren't for Zhang Xiaoquan taking the initiative to mention it on the phone, Qiu Yunhui wouldn't remember that on his life path, there was a passerby named Zhang Xiaoquan.

After so many years of mixing, you still haven't mixed up, are you embarrassed to mix in the entertainment industry?

Originally, it was easy to share hardships and hardships, and it was difficult to share wealth and wealth.

Moreover, one is rich, and the other is always in trouble.

"I will pay you back the wine money, dozens of dollars will be remembered in my heart all day long, I am ashamed if you are not ashamed!"

Qiu Yunhui glanced at Zhang Xiaoquan contemptuously, and said to Mai Xiaoyu: "You are the boss of the cute person, I will give you two choices now." The first is to go find a BMW and book a four-star luxury business suite according to what was said on the phone; the second is that I am leaving now, and the director of the movie you like to find whomever you like. ”

"I'll fork your mother again! You really think you're ......."

"Brother Fork!" Mai Xiaoyu grabbed Zhang Xiaoquan and stretched out two fingers, "Director Qiu, I'll give you two choices." Either get on the bus and find a hotel to stay, or go back and pay for the ticket. It's 5:37:42 p.m. Yenching time, and you have 1:18 seconds to think about it. ”

Pretend to be with me?

What kind of hanging are you now, when Lao Tzu doesn't know?

In March, you took all the pants of the investors who lost money, and you still dare to play with me?

Donghai to Yanjing, two first class, four business class, Yanjing to Donghai, six economy class, not cheap!

Qiu Yunhui trembled angrily, and his face was blue and white.

The personal assistant scolded angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have, do you know who Director Qiu is, how dare you talk to Director Qiu like this!"

"Roll off, are you qualified to talk to me, master hasn't said anything, it's your turn to bark here?"

Run on people?

Mai Xiaoyu is the ancestor!

"The surname Qiu, there are 31 seconds left. Zhang Xiaoquan tacitly pinched the watch to calculate the time and reminded Qiu Yunhui.

Ahh

Qiu Yunhui shouted frantically in his heart, and the anger in his heart was released, which could burn down the entire airport.

He really wanted to brush his sleeves away and let Mai Xiaoyu know that the director could not be offended.

But......

Yesterday the loan sharks all found the express hotel!

"When will the contract be signed?"

"Find the hotel and settle down and sign immediately. ”

"Okay. Lao Zhang, this time I will give you a face and return your wine. You've made a fortune!"

"Shao Nima is a × to use me as a step, Lao Tzu's wine is only used to feed the dog, do you want to leave the master or not!"

Qiu Yunhui didn't hear it, walked to the side of Volvo, the assistant ran over to open the door, and Nima couldn't open the door.

Mai Xiaoyu didn't stimulate Qiu Yunhui anymore and opened the car lock.

Two cars, eight people, drove away from the airport.

Mai Xiaoyu drove a Volvo with Qiu Yunhui and his personal assistant, and Zhang Xiaoquan drove Poussin, and four temporary assistants were crowded inside.

When he came to the International Trade Hotel, Qiu Yunhui's face was slightly better.

The International World Trade Hotel is a four-star hotel, eight people walked into the lobby, and the personal assistant said in a cold tone: "Mr. Mai, please book a luxury business suite and two standard rooms." ”

"Hehe, the crew's funds are not in place yet, please book the room yourself first and keep the invoice. After two days, the funds are in place, the crew will officially start production, and all expenses will be reimbursed with invoices. ”

I rub!

Qiu Yunhui's face twitched a few times: "Then when will my salary be paid?"

Mai Xiaoyu took out the contract from the briefcase: "60% will be paid at start-up, 30% will be paid three days before completion, and 10% will be paid after the completion of the post-production process, all of which are written in the contract." ”

Qiu Yunhui made a look, the personal assistant took the contract and handed it to him, he looked at it carefully, put away the contract, and the personal assistant went to the hotel front desk to book a room.

Four temporary assistants were arranged to live in the standard room, and Mai Xiaoyu, Qiu Yunhui and others came to the luxury business suite.

Mai Xiaoyu took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, threw one bottle to Zhang Xiaoquan, and then said to Qiu Yunhui: "Director Qiu, do you think we should sign the contract now?"

"I'll wait until I've read the contract. ”

Qiu Yunhui finally got a hand.

He has made movies before, signed a directing contract, and knows the key points.

The contract provided by Mai Xiaoyu is very regular and there are no traps.

He asked to add a supplementary clause to the contract that "on the first day of start-up, reimbursement of normal expenses such as air tickets and accommodation expenses with invoices", and Mai Xiaoyu readily agreed.

Agency!

Mai Xiaoyu opened the briefcase, and there were three signature pens inside. He picked out the two on the left and handed them to Qiu Yunhui with both hands: "Director Qiu, use my pen." ”
