Chapter 63: Visiting the Class and Renewing the Contract

Wang Dalun learned from Zhao Wei's phone call that the Huanzhu crew had moved from the summer resort to the capital last month. Wang Dalun remembered that the first part of "Huanzhu Gege" seemed to have only 24 episodes, but it has been more than four months and nearly five months since it was launched in July, and it has not been filmed yet.

In contrast, the same 20 episodes of "Will Love" was launched in mid-September, and he also had a phone call with Lao Xu two days ago, and it is said that it will be completed in a month at most.

During this time, Zhang Yuan was busy inspecting everywhere, Liu Ling was immersed in love, Xu Jinglei was still filming in the magic capital, and Lao Jia was in retreat to heal. Wang Dalun was very bored, and he heard that the Huanzhu crew was filming in a place called Folk Garden on the outskirts of Beijing in the past two days, so he planned to go over to visit the class.

It was quite far away, more than 30 kilometers from the neighborhood where he lived. The car in the city couldn't drive fast, and it took about half an hour to walk, and it was estimated that it was about to leave the fifth ring road. However, the four rings have not been repaired in the first few years, and the fifth ring has not even had a shadow.

There are more than a dozen antique buildings in solitude, which form several retro streets horizontally and vertically, with restaurants, tea houses, shops and brothels on both sides, as well as several large and small residential courtyards.

Because there was filming inside, there was a door outside, and idlers were not allowed to enter, Wang Dalun just wanted to say that he was looking for Zhao Wei, when he heard a crisp and delicate voice behind him.

"Wang Dalun?"

He turned around in surprise, and a girl dressed as a flag maid suddenly said in surprise: "Sure enough, it's you, I looked at this figure just now like you." ”

"Yo, Ziyi, where is your family?"

"Sister Weiwei and Sister Xinru are both filming inside. Fan Ziyi looked at him as she spoke, and asked, "You came here empty-handed today?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Dalun said in surprise.

Fan Ziyi pouted, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "I obviously said it last time, next time you come to visit the class, you must bring good food, how can you talk doesn't count!"

Wang Dalun had long forgotten about this stubble, but he didn't expect this little girl to still remember it, and said with a smile: "Count, of course count, I'll invite you to dinner later, okay?"

"We've been going on a spin these days, so how can we have time to go out to dinner with you!"

It is common for filming to rotate continuously, and Wang Dalun had the experience of filming for a day and a night when he filmed "Thunderstorm".

"Then when you are free, call me, and I will definitely come and invite you to dinner. ”

"Then you must bring some more delicious food when you come over. ”

"Definitely, this time it must be counted. ”

Although the little girl was greedy, she was very coaxing, and immediately showed a smile and took him into the folk garden. The little girl didn't play for the time being, so she enthusiastically took him around and talked to him about the crew's gossip.

Since the last time the Huanzhu crew experienced the turmoil of changing roles, they have really been in a constant situation, first the male No. 1 Zhou Jie fell off his horse while filming on the dam, suffered from horseback riding phobia, and hid in the capital to rest for more than 20 days, and the director zhì crew couldn't shoot a few scenes every day. Then there was a conflict between the director of Taiwan Bay and the mainland staff, and it even reached the point where Aunt Qiong Yao proposed to stop filming. In the end, it was the boss of the mainland partner who personally came forward to suppress it, which barely calmed down the contradiction and allowed him to continue filming.

Because a lot of progress has fallen in the past three months, since I arrived in the capital, I have traveled to the Folk Garden, Daguan Garden, Prince Gong's Mansion and the Forbidden City, and have been shooting day and night.

Wang Dalun originally wanted to inquire with Zhao Wei about the relationship between Liu Ling and the famous photographer, and the second elder of the Liu family had to give him an explanation.

But when he followed Fan Ziyi to find Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei had just finished the play, looking extremely tired, and saw Fan Ziyi coming over with Wang Dalun, and he tried to stand up.

"Brother Da Lun. ”

"Yo, don't get up, don't get up. ”

Wang Dalun hurriedly ran over and held her down, frowned and said, "Why are you so tired?"

Zhao Wei smiled bitterly: "I photographed it until twelve o'clock last night, got up at four o'clock this morning to put on makeup, and slept for less than three hours." I haven't stopped since the morning, I have filmed six scenes, and there are still three scenes that have not been filmed, and it will definitely be midnight today. ”

"No matter how rushed you are, you have to give people time to rest. Wang Dalun said dissatisfied.

"There's no way, it's not just me, Xinru, Ziyi, as well as the director and staff. Teacher Qiong Yao said that it must be completed next month according to the original plan. ”

Wang Dalun saw Zhao Wei yawning when he spoke, tired and sleepy, and said, "That's okay, you have a good rest, I'll leave first if it's okay." ”

Walking out of the crew's temporary lounge, Wang Dalun saw Fan Ziyi jumping out again, and couldn't help but say, "You are in good spirits, aren't you tired?"

"Alas, who called us a small supporting role, there are only a few scenes a day!" the little girl pretended to sigh.

Wang Dalun rolled his eyes, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, he raised his legs and walked out, Jin Suo is still called a small supporting role?

"Hey, Sister Xinru is filming over there, aren't you going to take a look?" the little girl stopped him.

"What's going on?" he asked casually.

Fan Ziyi said: "Ziwei and Er Kang went back to the compound where she used to live to visit their friends. ”

"Oh. ”

In this scene, Wang Dalun remembered that Ziwei lived in the Fu family and followed Er Kang back to the miscellaneous courtyard to visit Liu Qingliuhong. Liu Qing has always liked Ziwei, but at this time he didn't know that Ziwei's father was the emperor, and when he saw her come back with a rich son, he misunderstood, and then Ziwei went to comfort him.

It is said that this Liu Qing's acting skills are very powerful, and he will not only dominate the Chinese film industry in the future, but also enter Hollywood. Because of the drama, he also came together with Jin Suo, which is called a love stronger than Jin Jian, ten years like a day, can be called a fairy couple in the film industry...... Uh, well, Wang Dalun admits that he accidentally confused the web novel with reality.

But out of curiosity about Liu Qing, he still decided to take a look.

β€œaction!”

Lin Xinru was wearing a red flag suit, although her skin was a little dark, Wang Dalun felt that she still looked best in red clothes.

The actor who played Liu Qing was shirtless, wearing only a skeaf, standing in the courtyard holding a wooden stake, making an angry look. Anyway, the temperature in mid-November is only about 10 degrees, and it's hard for him.

"Liu Qing!"

Lin Xinru saw that her little friend ignored her, so she took the initiative to walk over and talk.

Liu Qing was sulking jealously at this time, how could she pay attention to her? One turned his back to Lin Xinru. Originally, Wang Dalun couldn't see his front from the position where he was standing, but as soon as he turned around, he saw him frowning and pouting, and the whole thing was a sissy!

In his previous life, he didn't have much impression of Liu Qing, but now that he looks at it, it's strange that Ziwei can take a fancy to him with this kind of goods! That is, Jin Suo was blind and finally came together with him.

And what is this person playing? This is also called acting?

Wang Dalun shook his head secretly, and couldn't help but look at Fan Ziyi beside him. I wonder if today's golden lock will take a fancy to this stupid Liu Qing?

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, a newly opened cafΓ© in Sanlitun was still early, and there were few customers in the store. Wang Dalun sat at a table by the window, got up early in the morning, smelled the smell of fragrant coffee in the room, and was a little hungry, but he was not used to drinking coffee, so he ordered a pot of tea to drink, and looked at the street scene outside the window from time to time while flipping through magazines.

Today is the creative director of the clothing brand he endorses, Peter Chen, who made an appointment with him, and the one-year endorsement contract he originally signed is about to expire, and today is to talk about renewing the contract.

In fact, the endorsement is quite simple, it is to take a set of photos and wear their clothes in public. Speaking of that specially tailored outfit, that is, I walked twice on the red carpet in Cannes, and I really didn't have a chance to wear it at other times. He originally thought that after the expiration of this year, people might not ask him to endorse him anymore, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to ask for a contract renewal.

After a few more minutes, I heard the door open, and the young waiter's warm and crisp voice: "Welcome!"

Wang Dalun looked back, and saw that the flowers and branches were spreading, and Peter Chen, who had not changed his style, was walking towards him with a young man with a spring breeze on his face, and he quickly stood up.

"Da Lun, long time no see. Peter Chen originally wanted to step forward and hug, but found that the other party had already stretched out his hand first.

"Director Chen's demeanor is still the same!" Wang Dalun said with a smile.

Although he was very unimpressed by Peter Chen's sissy dress, after dealing with him a few times, he found that the other party was a good person, so he was also willing to make friends, but the distance he should keep should be maintained.

"This is Ho Cong Ho, manager of our group's marketing department. Peter Chen said solemnly.

Originally, Wang Dalun thought that the young man in front of him was a little white face that Peter Chen didn't know where to hook up, but he didn't expect that he was still an executive of the group.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. I've seen your performance of "Thunderstorm", and it's really good. He Cong said politely.

"Uh, Manager He, it's over. Sit, sit, everybody. ”

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Forget it, I can't get used to that. Wang Dalun hurriedly postponed.

Peter Chen ordered two cups of coffee and added a fruit plate.

"Mr. Wang, that's right, in view of our good cooperation last year, we have decided that we want to renew our contract with you for another two years. After a few words of greeting, He Cong got straight to the point.

"What about the specific conditions for renewing the contract?" Wang Dalun is not stupid, since the other party took the initiative to renew the contract, he naturally wanted to raise the price.

"This is a contract extension that we have drawn up, you can see first. ”

The content of the endorsement contract is basically the same as the original, and Wang Dalun is most concerned about the price. The contract is renewed for two years, 30,000 yuan per year, including a commercial.

Although the price has increased by 10,000 yuan, he has been a little hesitant for two years, because when "Love Malatang" and "Will Love" are released next year, the price of his endorsement will definitely be more than 30,000 yuan. Moreover, the remuneration for filming advertisements must also be included, and the price increase is really limited.

After reading the contract, Wang Dalun said with a slight sigh: "I agree to the price of 30,000 yuan for the renewal of the contract for one year, but the salary for filming advertisements will be calculated separately." If it's two years, I'll want 50,000 a year, including the cost of shooting commercials. ”

The price of 100,000 yuan in two years has exceeded the company's budget, He Cong frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm afraid we can't accept the price of 50,000 a year." Do you think we can discuss it again?"

"Manager He, I'm sorry. I'm just an actor, not a businessman, and I'm not used to haggling with people. Either let's sign for a year like last year. ”

"This ......"

The atmosphere in front of him was a little stiff, and Peter Chen hurriedly said: "Da Lun, you see that you have raised this range so high all of a sudden, you have to let us think about it, right?"

Wang Dalun nodded, although he was not a businessman, he also knew that sometimes business could not be negotiated once or twice, and he was about to speak, when the pager in his waist rang.

It was Lao Jia who called, and he got up and prepared to go to the bar to call back.

"Use mine. ”

Peter Chen handed over the phone very graciously.

"Lao Jia, what's the matter? Yes, I've signed up! Ah, I'm going to go at the beginning of February next year? Oh, the opening ceremony is on February 11. Okay, so be it. ”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalun returned the phone to Peter Chen, and said with a smile: "I will go to the Berlin Film Festival in February next year." ”
