N0115. Candidates for director

After the annual leave, the weather was still slightly cold, but the people of Seoul ignored the weather and continued with their lives three days ago.

I didn't spend much time on the road, and soon I came to the brokerage company in Kim so Road in Cheongdam-dong, and downstairs, the Kim so Road agent who had called early in the morning was already waiting.

Seeing Li Shenglong get out of the car and approach, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, although he didn't know what the other party's net worth background was, but he drove a Ferrari car on the road casually, and it was not a maglev on the road, obviously he didn't care about the fine issued by the Ministry of Transportation, not to mention that he could give a salary of 25 million casually, it should be a rich man.

"Hello Shenglong Xi, Happy New Year!" Jin Xiulu's agent greeted Li Shenglong with a smile.

"Hello, New Year's Blessings, then again, it seems that I don't know your surname?" When the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the agent of Jin Xiulu's predecessor.

"My name is Zhao Chengren, hehe, I shouldn't be much older than you, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Brother Chengren."

"Oh, hello Brother Chengren!" Li Shenglong shouted in compliance.

"Hehe, let's go up, Xiulu has been waiting for a long time, by the way, did you bring the script?" Zhao Chengren asked enthusiastically while leading the way for Li Shenglong.

"Uh-huh, bring it." Li Shenglong raised the document bag in his hand.

Soon, Li Shenglong followed Zhao Chengren to the third floor, Jin Xiulu's brokerage company, like Li Shenglong's studio, directly chose to rent the first floor of the building to be a brokerage company, but the other company's powerful actors also have several actors, so they can directly rent a floor, instead of renting a large unit first like Li Shenglong, and then slowly move to the entire floor.

There are not many people in the agency, only a few clerical and assistant-like employees, as for the actors under it, they should all be in the announcement.

When I saw Jin Xiulu in a room, I almost couldn't recognize it!

"Uh, hello Brother Xiulu, Happy New Year!"

"Eh, it's Shenglong? …… Aha, good luck for the New Year, this, I ate a little too much in my hometown during the New Year, so it's a little puffy, hehe. Jin Xiulu, who was still eating instant noodles for breakfast, was stunned when he saw Li Shenglong coming in, and quickly put down the instant noodles and said hello to Li Shenglong, but when he saw Li Shenglong's strange gaze, he explained, and naturally ignored the agent's gaze that was about to erupt flames.

"I'm here today to bring the script and sign the contract for Brother Xiulu." Li Shenglong raised the document bag in his hand, and then took out some printing paper from it and gave it to Jin Xiulu.

"Oh?" When it comes to the professional field, Jin Xiulu became serious, took over the script of more than a dozen sheets of paper and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw some places.

"Then I'll go out and have someone print a contract first." Zhao Chengren also went out with great vision.

Jin Xiulu looked at it for half an hour, in fact, it didn't take so much time to see the plot synopsis of ten pages of A4 paper, but Jin Xiulu was also starting to think about the role while watching, although Li Shenglong didn't know how professional actors pondered the role, but looking at Jin Xiulu's occasional expression on his face, he frowned for a while, pondered for a while, and even read out the lines one by one.

It wasn't until Kim so-lu put down the script and sorted out his thoughts that Li Shenglong asked out loud, "How is it?" The plot is okay, right? ”

"Really...... Daihatsu! I can only say that Dafa can describe it! Jin Xiulu laughed exaggeratedly and said in admiration.

"Really, no kidding, it's totally a movie plot! It's hard to imagine that this is just a MV, and it's even a bit of a pity that it's just a MV! Jin Xiulu gave a big thumbs up.

Then Jin Xiulu opened the script, pointed to some places inside and continued: "Look, these details are really detailed, even the gravel trajectory generated by the blasting is also under consideration, I have to say, this script you wrote is really careful." ”

Li Shenglong was full of smiles on his face, but he still said modestly: "It's not that good, it's just a clumsy work." ”

At this time, Zhao Chengren happened to come in with two contracts, and when he saw Jin Xiulu smiling so happily, he was obviously very satisfied with a script.

"Yo, it seems that the conversation seems to be very good, come, Shenglong Xi to see if there is anything wrong with this contract." After Zhao Chengren flattered, he handed a contract in his hand to Li Shenglong.

Li Shenglong took it and looked at it carefully, in fact, the contract is just the content of an A4 piece of paper, which is nothing more than a statement of the identity of Party A and Party B, the content of the cooperation and the negotiation of the salary, and there is also an additional confidentiality agreement that the plot cannot be revealed in the case of the MV being private.

After seeing that there was nothing unusual, Li Shenglong picked up a pen and wrote his name and stage name under the contract.

Regarding the issue of prepaying part of the salary mentioned in the contract, Li Shenglong directly took out the check book and wrote a check for 10 million yuan, and directly prepaid 40% of the salary.

Zhao Chengren smiled and went out with a check for a while before coming in with two cups of coffee.

It turned out that Li Shenglong and Jin Xiulu talked directly about the plot as soon as they met, and they didn't even greet them with a cup of coffee, and Zhao Chengren also watched them read the script and talk so intently, so he didn't come in and bother.

"Brother Cheng Ren has been bringing coffee in for so long, it's really rude!" Jin Xiulu directly pointed to the agent and buried it.

Zhao Chengren smiled and didn't say anything, just put the coffee down, but when Jin Xiulu wanted to reach out for one of the cups, he slapped him mercilessly.

"Hey! Brother, what are you doing here? Jin Xiulu's hand retracted like lightning, but a red mark had fallen on it, and he shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Come back in the New Year to see what you have become, and you won't become a pig's head if you drink coffee again!!" Zhao Chengren gritted his teeth and pointed at him and said.

"What, it's rare to go home and eat Oh Mom's specialty dish, that's a matter of course to eat more and replenish your body!"

"Huh...... Ah, speaking of which, it seems that Brother Xiulu is going to start some related exercises. Li Shenglong looked at the two with a smile on the side, and suddenly reminded him.

"Do you want to do combat training or shooting training?" Kim so-ro thought of his role in this MV, a member of a special forces squad, so he wanted to ask.

"You need to do it, and you need to be physically trained."

Jin Xiulu nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the gym to work out." ”

"By the way, then again, this script is so good, have you ever thought about finding a director to shoot it?" Suddenly, Jin Xiulu put his hands together, thought of something, and asked.

Who knew that Li Shenglong shook his head very shamefully: "No, I want Brother Tuo Zhiyuan or Brother Xiulu to find a director to shoot at random." ”

"How can this work? That's not a waste, it's a completely small movie, and at the end it is best to invite some promising new directors who desperately want to be famous but are distressed that there is no good work. Hearing Li Shenglong say that he planned to find someone to deal with casually, Jin Xiulu shouted in surprise before explaining.

"Perhaps, really good?" Zhao Chengren, who had not spoken beside him, asked, his eyes casting an inquiring look at Jin Xiulu.

"It shouldn't be bad."

"Absolutely Dafa!"

Lee Sung-ryong and Kim so-ro answered one after the other!

"Well, how about I choose the director for you?" At this time, it is precisely the time to play a role as a broker, and it is time to use the connections that have been accumulated in daily life.

"Speaking of which, in recent years, the film and television works with the theme of military personnel must be "Tai Chi Flag Flying", and it must be Jiang Digui!" Zhao Chengren said while taking out his mobile phone and rummaging through the phone book.

"Oh, does Brother Cheng Ren want to invite Director Jiang, but will Director Jiang shoot a MV himself?" Jin Xiulu was surprised at first, but then asked with some doubts.

"Of course...... No! Zhao Chengren's eyes didn't leave the phone screen for a moment, just kept rummaging.

"This brother is really ......" Jin Xiulu, who was hung with an appetite, was helpless.

Soon, Zhao Chengren found the target phone he was looking for and dialed it directly.

After waiting for a while, the person on the phone was connected.

"Oh! Director Luo!! It's been a long time! …… Ahaha, that's that, thanks to you, we're okay with Xiulu...... I wonder if Director Luo has time recently? Nene, we Xiulu recently received a script, and it looks pretty good, just to see if Director Luo is interested in making one? …… No, no, it doesn't take long to waste, it's just a MV! …… Please, please...... Yes, yes, it's very good, Xiulu said that Dafa, I think it should be good! …… Are you sure? That's great, we'll come now! ”

The above is all the dialogue that Li Shenglong and Jin Xiulu heard, as if the other party agreed.

"Brother Chengren, who is this Director Luo??" Jin Xiu asked directly, in his memory, it seems that he has not cooperated with Director Luo.

"Luo Hongzhen, do you remember Luo Changji?" Zhao Chengren replied lightly.

"Ahh Luo Changji of "Taiji Flag Flying"? That's right! In 05, he filmed "Perfect Red Snapper Cuisine" and won the Best Work Award at the Short Film Film Festival, and was promoted to a promising new director! Jin Xiulu, who looked confused, suddenly patted his thigh and said.

"That's right, it's him, as the scene reporter of "Tai Chi Flag Flying", he is everywhere in the whole movie, even the editing and production has his share, and more importantly, he was guided by Director Jiang Da on the set!" Zhao Chengren pointed out the most critical point at once.

Jiang Digui can't be invited, but Luo Hongzhen, who has received a lot of guidance on military themes, is really the most suitable candidate.

"Let's go, Director Luo has made an appointment to meet us at the XX café, let's hurry up." Zhao Chengren stood up and said hello, and asked the assistant outside to come in and sort things out, and he took Li Shenglong and Jin Xiulu to the meeting place.

From start to finish, those two cups of coffee were superfluous!
