Chapter 9: The Unbelievable
"Hong Shao, don't worry. I will work hard!" Ni Yaxuan said with a swear. Thinking of Hong Shao's mother and Chairman An Yiru, who usually looked at her indifferently and majestically, she felt a chill down her spine and was afraid!
"Hmm. Hong Hezhang nodded with satisfaction, and then shifted his gaze to Li Xiaoice and said with a smile: "What? Miss Li still doesn't believe that I am Hong Hezhang?"
"I also want to believe it, but it's really unbelievable!" Li Xiaoice smiled bitterly: "We always thought that Hong Hezhang was a female romance writer, but we didn't expect that in the end he was a beautiful boy!"
"Yes, Hong Shao, you are so bad, you actually deceived our group of readers!" Ni Yaxuan said.
"It's really wronged, I've never said that I'm a woman, it's all you book lovers, what can I do?
"Hmph, if you publish it in the girls section of the ancient and modern Chinese network, of course we think you are a woman!" Ni Yaxuan said.
"Well, it's all my fault. Find a chance, I will definitely give you book lovers an explanation!" Hong Hezhang said with a smile.
"That's pretty much it!" Ni Yaxuan said.
"Miss Li, can you tell me, why are you looking for me?" Hong Hezhang asked as he looked at Li Xiaoice.
"Actually, speaking of which, I am also in a hurry to invest, because I am about to graduate, and during this time, I ran around the set looking for an audition opportunity, but unfortunately no director was willing to ask me!" Li Xiaoice said truthfully.
"Haha, you are so beautiful, you have such a good image, you are a student of the acting department of the Academy of Drama, and you have won awards in school performance, an actor like you is so good, unless the director is blind, he will not want you!" Hong Hezhang said.
"I ......" Li Xiaoice wanted to speak and stopped!
"Haha, in my opinion, it should be that you are too stubborn and refuse to accept the unspoken rules, right?" Hong Hezhang said with a smile.
"......" Li Xiaoice's face was slightly red, he bowed his head and was silent, his face was full of helplessness!
"My film and television company has just been established, and I just need to sign new and old artists, I have a contract here, you sign it, and I will support you in the future!" Hong Hezhang said.
"Thank you, Hong Da, ......" Li Xiaoice smiled awkwardly: "Now I don't even know how to call you?
"Haha, whatever you want to call it!" Hong Hezhang said with a smile: "But now that I have invested in the creation of a film and television company and served as the general manager, I still hope that everyone can call me Mr. Hong in public, Hong Hezhang is my pen name and stage name, my parents don't want me to use my real name in the entertainment industry, so you still call me Mr. Hong in the future!
"Okay. From now on, I will call you Mr. Hong. Li Xiaoice nodded and said, "Mr. Hong, is this contract for ten years too long?"
"For new actors, this is normal, after all, the company wants to support you and package you, and the initial investment, operation, publicity, promotion, etc. costs a lot, and you will definitely not be able to make ends meet, and in a few years, when you become famous and are about to make money for the company, if there is no contract constraints, you suddenly give up and jump to other companies, then I won't lose a lot of money?" Hong Hezhang said.
"However, ten years is too long, can you sign for five years?" or six or seven years?" Li Xiaoice said with a hesitant expression.
"If you like to sign, sign it, if you don't sign it, get out!" Ni Yaxuan said angrily: "We Mr. Hong sign you can afford you, you don't have to inch in, toast and don't eat and drink!"
"To be honest, the contract term, there is no room for negotiation, some people want to sign, I don't have to!" Hong Hezhang said: "The reason why I signed you so quickly is mainly because you are my book lover, and I just set up this film and television company, we are destined!"
"Okay, I'll sign it. Li Xiaoice said helplessly.
"You can rest assured, you are the second artist signed by our company, I will definitely support you, within ten years, I will definitely make you an international superstar!" Hong Hezhang swore solemnly.
When Li Xiaoice heard this, he finally relaxed!
"Hong Shao, who is the first artist signed by our company?" Ni Yaxuan asked curiously.
"Yes, Mr. Hong, someone signed the contract one step ahead of me, I am a little curious about who this person is!" Li Xiaoice was also very curious, thinking that he was the first artist to sign a contract, and he could become the company's first sister in the future, it seems that there is no hope!
"Haha, secrecy. Hong Hezhang smiled mysteriously.
"Mr. Hong, how are you going to package me, and when will I act?" asked Li Xiaoice.
"Don't worry, I want to act, there will be more opportunities in the future. Hong Hezhang said: "I also made an appointment with a famous director today to see if he has a role suitable for you! Xuanxuan, you go and answer it!"
……
……
China Beijing, Ancient and Modern Group.
After Hong Hezhang rejected the meeting between Zhang Yimou and Sun Shupei, two famous film and television directors, on the Internet the night before, Director Zhang didn't continue to entangle for some reason, while Director Sun was more stubborn, and he had to find Hong Hezhang to negotiate the adaptation of the "Little Swallow" TV series in person, so Hong Hezhang asked him to come to Beijing Gujin Group to meet today!
When Sun Shupei followed Ni Yaxuan to the general manager's office of the film and television company, he looked at Hong Hezhang and Li Xiaoice sitting on the sofa, immediately greeted him, took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xiaoice, and said: "Presumably you are Ms. Hong Hezhang, right?" I didn't expect that the author of "Little Swallow" is not only talented, but also so young and beautiful, it is really better to be famous than to meet!"
Hong Hezhang saw Director Sun come in, and was about to get up to welcome him, but when he saw this scene, he immediately shut up and stepped aside, so he could watch the excitement for a while!
Li Xiaoice saw that the director finally arrived, out of politeness, he also followed Hong Hezhang to get up to greet him, but he didn't expect that this time, Director Sun made a big oolong, she was a little stunned for a while, and she didn't know how to deal with it!
Ni Yaxuan stood behind, laughed a few times, and reminded: "Director Sun, you are mistaken! She is not the Hong Hezhang you are looking for, our general manager is!"
"Ah......" Sun Shupei couldn't react, looked at Hong Hezhang dumbfounded, and said, "You are Hong Hezhang?"
"Haha, yes, I'm Hong Hezhang. Hong Hezhang smiled: "Director Sun, I'm really sorry, I forgot to introduce my gender to you the night before yesterday!"
Sun Shupei said with admiration on his face: "I never expected that the author who could write such a beautiful romance from the perspective of women would be a man...... Oh no, it's unbelievable to be such a young boy, I really admire it!"
"Haha, thanks to Director Sun's praise, please take a seat!" Hong Hezhang said: "Xuanxuan, give Director Sun a cup of coffee!"
