"Li Sheng is looking for us this time, probably because it has something to do with Xue Xue'er," Lin Laiyu said in the elevator.

Ning Die thought to herself, Mei Chen was ambitious, if he didn't take action, it was indeed not his style.

"Do you want to work with Lexing?" She asked.

Lin Laiyu spread his hands and said that he didn't know, Li Sheng just asked them to come over first and then talk in detail.

The waiter at the reception on the seventh floor led them to the manager's office, knocked on the door and waited for an answer inside before pushing the door to enter.

After not seeing each other for many days, Li Sheng didn't change, wearing a simple brown suit, still wearing his eyes, sitting behind the desk, seeing Ning Die and them coming, he stood up and invited them to sit on the sofa, and then told the female secretary to pour tea.

He sat down on the opposite side of the sofa, said politely, and said: "The two of you have worked a trip to the state, and I heard Director Wenguo say that both of them are doing well, especially Ning Die, who has a promising future in the future." ”

Ning Die smiled shyly.

"It's like calling you here today, the company has poached a few celebrities not long ago, and plans to invest in a large-scale zuò film, which is completely different from the "Liang Zhu" Chinese New Year film you participated in this time," he spoke with a relaxed voice, with a mid-bass voice, not in a hurry, "This time after the decision of the upper echelons, and the recommendation of Director Wenguo, Ning Die ......"

Ning Die sat steadily, waiting for him to continue.

Li Sheng turned his head to look at the secretary, and the secretary brought the Wen Jiàn on the table and sent them to everyone one by one.

"This is the outline of the script, the director is Mr. Deng Jiahui, you should be familiar with it, almost all of the literary films in the southwest are from him, he and Director Wenguo are world friends, this time he wants to meet with Miss Ning Die." Li Sheng said, looking at Ning Die at the same time.

Ning Die pointed at herself, "Want to see me?" ”

"Yes," Li Sheng nodded, in order to liven up the atmosphere, he smiled and said, "The upper echelons have finalized that you are the heroine, so the director wants to meet you." ”

"What?!" Lin Laiyu jumped up from the sofa, "Ning Die wants to be the heroine?" Are you sure? ”

She swept her eyes back and forth on Ning Die and Li Sheng in disbelief, this is really a strange thing, the person who is still playing the maid in the last play, but in this film where the seniors gather, she is the only one, even if this person is her good sister, Lin Laiyu is difficult to accept, you must know that she has been in this film industry for several years, and the best role is only the female number three.

Li Sheng confirmed again, "This is the result of the discussion at the upper level, and they feel that Ning Die's appearance and temperament are very consistent with the role of Yao Shouyue in the script." ”

Lin Laiyu held back her excitement, and she asked hesitantly and hesitantly: "That...... What about me? ”

"Three times."

That is, the female number three.

Lin Laiyu pulled the corners of her mouth and sat back on the sofa, she was the female No. 3 in this big series, which was different from the previous female No. 3, she comforted herself for a while, and her mood was a little calm.

Li Sheng looked at Ning Die, "If Miss Ning agrees to act, you can directly sign your name on the text." ”

"Da Zhi zuò?" Ning Die asked.

"Yes."

"There are a lot of big celebrities making green leaves for me?"

"Yes."

"Is this the company's intention to stick to me?"

"That's right."

Lin Laiyu on the side grinded her teeth, if it weren't for Ning Die being her friend, who would have bitten the other party with jealousy.

Ning Die smiled gently, her eyes were full of expectation, Li Sheng waited for her answer, but she said, "I'm sorry, I refuse." ”

"What?" Li Sheng suspected that he had misheard.

"I'm sorry," Ning Die repeated, "I refuse." ”

Li Sheng raised her hand to pause and continued, "Please allow me to make a call first." ”

While he was going to the desk to make a phone call, Lin Laiyu pinched Ning Die's arm hard, "A good thing I can't even think of, if you say you refuse, you can refuse, why are you doing." ”

Ning Die pushed her hand away, just smiled at her, Lin Laiyu felt furious in her heart, and pinched her face, "Are you too surprised that your brain didn't turn around, you were stupid for a while, why don't you wait for you to calm down first and then reply to Mr. Li." ”

Ning Die shook her head.

"I think it's really stupid." Lin Laiyu pinched his hands together, "Or do you have any bad ideas?" ”

Ning Die blinked, as if to say that she knew me, it was none other than Lin Laiyu.

Li Sheng briefly explained the situation to the other end of the phone, then nodded and said a few times, hung up the phone, he regained his calm face, and instructed the secretary: "Take Miss Ning to Mr. Chen's floor." ”

He turned to Ning Die and said, "Miss Ning, Mr. Chen has an opinion on you." ”

Ning Die was waiting for him to say this.

She and the secretary took the special elevator to the upper floor, the eighth floor is Chen Yueming's office room, and even provides entertainment and leisure equipment, the secretary sent her to arrive and turned downstairs, and there was a good-looking female secretary at the reception at the door to introduce her to Chen Yueming.

The metal door slowly opened, Ning Die stepped in, and the most conspicuous thing was a tall wine cabinet, Mr. Chen Yueming, dressed in an expensive suit, holding a goblet of red wine, quietly looking at the trademarks of various red wines.

"You're here," he turned around and smiled softly, like Ning Die was his long-awaited old friend.

When a businessman negotiates, he will always give you this illusion of respect and affection.

Ning Die stood softly and still.

Chen Yueming put the wine glass on the coffee table on the side, the ground was covered with a thick woolen carpet, and his footsteps were silent when he walked over, "I heard Li Sheng say that you want to refuse to participate in "The Story of an Orphan Girl"? ”

Ning Die has always wondered why Mr. Chen loves cigarettes and fine wine, why he has always had only a light sandalwood fragrance on his body.

"Don't be silent," he frowned, "Mei Chen drives you twenty-five yuan a month, is it any wonder that you have always wanted to act in a trick but get a high salary?" ”

The walls around the office were covered with Western landscape oil paintings, Ning Die looked at them one by one, and said with a polite smile: "Mr. Chen, I participated in "Liang Zhu", how much investment did you get from General Huo?" It's obviously just an ordinary classical love legend, and the box office will never be high, and you don't agree to the appropriation for a long time, because you're worried that you won't be able to recover your money. ”

Chen Yueming looked at Ning Die complicatedly, she came to the company today in a simple cheongsam, and even wore a pair of outdated gloves, but he actually felt that she was shining beautifully when she became smart.

"You said that you are a businessman and don't do loss-making transactions, let me take the lead this time," Ning Die's gaze fell back on Chen Yueming's body, "What is the reason?" ”

Chen Yueming smiled and sat on the coffee-colored leather sofa, he was different from Huo Cheng, Huo Cheng's arrogance and domineering were reflected outside, and he was a net, looking unthreatening, when you became his prey, you found that you couldn't guard against it.

"Miss Ning, I guarantee that this movie has nothing to do with Mr. Huo, have you ever watched the Western masterpiece "La Traviata"?"

He pointed to the empty space in front of him and motioned for Ning Die to sit and talk, "After the Chinese translation of this novel was released in the southwest, the drama and opera adapted by the southwest were very popular, and the storyline of "The Orphan Girl" is the "Lady of the Camellias" in the East. ”

He lit a cigarette, "The company originally arranged for the heroine to be played by Feng Caier, but unfortunately Lexing is preparing to start filming a movie with the same theme in order to suppress us, and the heroine is today's popular Xue Xueer." ”

Feng Caier is also a celebrity in the film industry, and she may not lose against Xue Xueer, Ning Die doesn't understand Chen Yueming's intentions.

Chen Yueming continued: "What's the point of this kind of equal arena play, if you really want to eliminate the opponent's spirit, isn't it more effective to use newcomers to win the other party?" ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled, because the Chen family has been in business for generations, and the strength of his generation's family business is unpredictable, he was still young when he inherited the family business, and he is still in his thirties.

Ning Die thought about his words carefully, this movie has Feng Caier, if the actor finds another popular student, the box office will at least be guaranteed, not to mention that with director Deng Jiahui, even if this heroine is a newcomer, it is not a big problem.

"Why is this person, me?" Ning Die asked uneasily.

Chen Yueming extinguished the cigarette with a smile, "Take what you need." ”

In front of Lao Jiang, Ning Die's little thought was really hard to hide, and she simply said bluntly: "This time to act in a movie, I want to advance the salary for making a movie in advance." ”

"Yes."

"Two hundred oceans."

Chen Yueming held his chin with his hand, this money was insignificant to him, but he shook his head, "The amount is too big, it can only be one hundred and fifty yuan." ”

Ning Die pinched the cuff of her sleeve, these should be enough for the time being.

"It's fine, but I still have the conditions," she added.

Chen Yueming asked her to continue.

"Academics come first for me, and I hope that the time for filming doesn't conflict with the time of my school classes."

What's this, teaching in the hall of Western Normal University advocates the freedom of classes, at most half a day of classes, which has no impact on the progress of filming, Chen Yueming said with a smile: "I will explain this situation to the director, but Director Deng has his own opinion on the selection of the heroine, you meet him this Thursday, if you want to get paid, you should understand what to do." ”

Ning Die said seriously: "Since I have made up my mind, I must go all out." ”

Chen Yueming was satisfied, and personally went to the wine cabinet to select a famous French red wine, and poured a glass for Ning Die, "Next time I touch wine, I hope it will be at the press conference of "Orphan Girl". ”

He smiled mildly and gentlemanly.

However, the negotiation ended, and Huo Cheng received the document bag from Li Hao two days later.

Snow was pouring down outside the window, and this year there were many more days of snow than before.

There was a stove burning in the office, Li Hao took off the scarf and shook the snowflakes, and said, "This is the photo that was sent to follow up and take back that day." ”

Huo Cheng was dressed in a military uniform, wearing an army green sleeveless tweed coat, he took off his pure black leather gloves, and his cold and hard side face exuded a look that was more temperatureless than snow, he took out the picture, he had expected that Ning Die would meet a man, but when he saw the real result, his pupils still constricted.

"This man's surname is Chen Dan, and he has an elderly mother at home, who sells ......"

"Needless to say," Huo Cheng interrupted Li Hao's words, this man knew his details better than anyone else.

Seeing that Huo Cheng's expression was calm, similar to the sea before the storm, Li Hao continued: "Miss Ning Die asked someone to send seventy-five oceans last night. ”

Very good, Huo Cheng sneered and got up from the sofa, "Where did she get the money?" ”

"Mei Chen intends to let her play the heroine of the new movie, and met with director Deng Jiahui yesterday, saying that Miss Lai Ning is very powerful, and people like Deng Jiahui are so harsh, they are full of praise for her on the spot, and I heard that she memorized all the protagonist's lines in the script overnight." Thinking of the sleeping pill incident, Li Hao's heart trembled, this Miss Ning seemed to have a lot of character.

Huo Cheng glanced down at the photos on the table again, Ning Die smiled brightly, hugging the thin man in the soft light of the street lamp, "Burn these, in addition, give Mr. Chen Yueming an invitation, and say that I invited him to come to Chunzhi Pear Garden to watch the play." ”

Li Hao was ordered to retreat, and the huge office was suddenly very quiet.

In the past two hours, the black car drove to the gate of the Chunzhi pear orchard, and there was a doorman waiting with an umbrella.

Chen Yueming, who looks elegant and gentle, was surrounded by people to bathe in the wind and snow, and then crossed the threshold and walked to the upstairs box, where the actors on the stage below were waving their water sleeves and babbling and singing the spring boudoir lyrics.

"It's a rare honor for General Huo to invite Chen to watch the play," he greeted with a smile and compliments.

Huo Cheng sat on the chair and did not move, and the uniformed subordinates on his side were also expressionless, Chen Yueming first looked for the chair next to Huo Cheng to sit without authorization, picked up the peanuts on the table and swallowed a few grains, "The view here is good, the play is clear, and the people below can't see the situation here, I can't sit in this place for money." ”

Huo Cheng had no intention of listening to his flattering words, and looked straight at the play downstairs, as if he hadn't seen anything, "How much ocean did you promise to give Ning Die?" ”

Chen Yueming said with a smile: "I naturally don't dare to destroy General Huo's plan, but my family's small business has to continue." ”

The Chen family's business is still called a small business, so there is no big deal in the whole world, Huo Cheng remained silent, and when the scene was finished, the people in the audience applauded, Huo Cheng applauded, and said: "You and I have known each other for many years, and we have always cooperated happily......"

"A total of one hundred and fifty pieces of ocean, seventy-five pieces have been returned to you, and the rest is only seventy-five."

"It seems that you know me very well and know what I'm going to do next," Huo Cheng said, beckoning to his subordinates behind him, "Sing well, say I have a reward." ”

Chen Yueming said with a smile: "You have the right, I have money, I know you, isn't it more conducive to promoting happy cooperation." ”

Turning his head, he ordered the bodyguards he had brought again, "The reward given to them by General Huo will be written by me." ”

Huo Cheng didn't speak, and at this time, the curtain call downstairs sang: "Collect Mr. Huo's reward of 1,000 yuan, thank you——"

Such a heroic act made the crowd downstairs boil, and suddenly applause and whistles resounded through the roof.

Chen Yueming's hand holding the tea shook slightly, and Huo Cheng patted him on the shoulder before leaving: "Compared with the investment that was taken from me last time, it is a drop in the bucket." ”

is really a wolf with bared teeth, Chen Yueming laughingly blew open the floating leaves on the surface of the tea, and the tea that this person invited was difficult to swallow.
