Chapter 14: The King's Troubles

When the "Lianmeng Card" slowly became transparent and was about to disappear, Ying Huayu decided to move Meng Yi from the carpet to the chaise longue before leaving. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, Meng is still the screenwriter of "Smart Space", and it is also a loss to the crew when she finds herself asleep on the carpet and is scared out of the problem.

"Pete ......"

As soon as Ying Huayu picked Meng Yi up, she saw Meng still pouting at him, and at the same time making an extremely foxy sound in her mouth.

Yinghua Yu was stunned, and immediately reacted: Meng still must have switched the heroine to herself in her dream!

Ying Huayu immediately let go, Meng still smashed on the chaise longue, and woke up instantly.

"Pete! Peter! ”

After waking up, Meng still looked around in a panic, and when she saw that there was only Yinghuayu in the house, she shut up and wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth with her hands.

"I'll leave if you're alright!" Ying Huayu shook her head helplessly. It's not that he hasn't seen a woman, but a nymphomaniac like Meng is so crazy that he can't even control the non-human system still makes him feel incredible.

"What did you just do to me?" Meng still jumped up and stopped Ying Huayu.

Ying Huayu looked innocent: "Miss, is it illegal to be forced to watch you sleep?" ”

"Didn't you drugged me to sleep?" Meng still refuses to give up.

"Drugged you down just to see you drool?" Ying Huayu sneered, "Being so imaginative is indeed suitable for being a writer!" ”

"Then you say, what is the purpose of your sudden break-into of my house in the middle of the night?"

"What could it be? Isn't it just ......" Ying Huayu rolled her eyes, "ask why you didn't go to the movie!" Why is it Jiang Hye Kyo! "Yinghuayu gorgeous drops have been transformed from defendants to plaintiffs.

"That ......" Meng Yi's arrogance was wiped out at once, "Okay, okay, go out if it's okay, don't affect me to write the script!" ”

Ying Huayu smiled with satisfaction, raised her hand and looked at her watch: "If you don't sleep so late, is it possible, today is your 'day of not sleeping'?" ”

"If you don't leave, today will be my 'Killing Day'!" Meng still clenched his hands into fists and screamed.

Ying Huayu quickly slipped out.

Today, for Yinghuayu, it is a real "sleepless day". promised Zhou Yimou to reply to him early tomorrow morning, but from the time the "United Dream Card" was used up until now, several hours have passed, and there is no news from Pete's side.

Ying Huayu began to reflect, is it more effective to DIY other prop cards?

However, on second thought, even if Pete is invited to DIY other prop cards, can it be guaranteed that Pete is really in love with "Smart Space"? Instead of asking for an absent-minded lead actor, take your time waiting for a soul actor! Ying Huayu felt that her decision was not wrong.

As the sky outside the window gradually turned white, Ying Huayu slowly realized that the possibility of Pete starring was almost non-existent. Because, Ying Huayu clearly stated in the email that she hoped that the other party would reply to her after half an hour of Beijing time at the latest. If the other party is willing to take the role, he will not wait until the last minute to send an email.

Well, there is no end to the sky, in addition to the 30-year-old Pete, there should be other people who are suitable to be the male protagonist of "Smart Space"!

Ying Huayu quickly sorted out his mood, he decided to take a hot bath first, and then call Zhou Yimou when he was about to get up to discuss the matter of the actor.

Putting down the phone, Ying Huayu walked into the bathroom and began to wake up her brain with hot water.

The sound of rushing water completely drowned out the ringtone of the mobile phone......

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

With the knock on the door, Ying Huayu saw Xiao Xiao's head stuck into the bathroom.

"Hua'er, I'm sorry, I don't know where my phone has fallen, can you use your phone to dial mine?" Xiao smiled apologetically.

"Coming home at dawn again?" Ying Huayu's eyes stayed on Xiao Xiao's carefully modified hairstyle.

Xiao Xiao seemed to have experienced some kind of crisis from Ying Huayu's words, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, after the official start, I will absolutely abide by the crew's shooting schedule!" ”

"Well, got it! Go for it, the phone is on my bedside table! ”

Xiao Xiao just turned around, and suddenly heard Ying Huayu "feeding" in the bathroom, and quickly pushed the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"That ......" Ying Huayu wanted to say, by the way, to help him pay attention to whether there was a new email on his mobile phone, but then he felt that this was an unrealistic fantasy, so he simply said perfunctorily: "Oh, it's okay, I just want to ask you what time it is?" ”

Xiao Xiao raised his hand to look at his watch: "Six o'clock is five minutes!" ”

"It's okay, you're busy!"

A strong sense of loss officially landed in Ying Huayu's heart. Five minutes have passed since the agreed time, and even if there is a hint of fantasy, it is time to make up your mind to abandon it!

Xiao Xiao walked into Ying Huayu's room and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table. After skillfully entering the password, Xiao Xiao saw the prompt for missing the call at a glance. After a brief hesitation, Xiao Xiao's ghost almost gave a hint. Seeing that it was from the United States, Xiao Xiao withdrew directly. His basic common sense tells him that this is a standard transnational scam call.

After dialing his own number, Xiao Xiao walked out of Ying Huayu's room and looked around for the sound of the mobile phone. However, when he walked through the living room and his own bedroom, he didn't hear a sound, but a woman's voice came from Ying Huayu's mobile phone: "Hey, hey-"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback, and quickly picked up the phone: "I'm Xiao Xiao, my phone fell to you, right?" I'll go get it now! ”

"Don't, don't!" The woman panicked for a while, "My husband will come back from a business trip later, don't come over, I'll send it to you later!" ”

"No, the director can call me at any time...... Then, I'll be downstairs at your house in half an hour, and you can send it down to me under the pretext, okay? ”

"Hmm...... All right! ”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiao hurriedly put down Ying Huayu's mobile phone and ran out.

Ying Huayu got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, just in time to see Xiao Xiao's back leaving in a panic.

"This kid ......"

Ying Huayu shook her head helplessly, picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and looked at it.

No hints for new mail! There are no missed call prompts either!

Although it had been expected for a long time, Ying Huayu still sighed heavily. After being stunned at the window for a long time, pouring himself countless chicken soup for the soul, Ying Huayu calmed down a little, and he picked up his mobile phone and took the initiative to call Zhou Yimou.

"Director Zhou, I'm very sorry...... That, Pete ......"

"I see!" Zhou Yimou's excited voice surprised Ying Huayu, "I said that if you don't want to be paid, you definitely don't want it!" However, I calculated, and even then it seems that there is still a gap of 2 million ......."

"Say what?" Ying Huayu was confused.

"What? Haven't they called you yet? Now, it was Zhou Yimou's turn to be puzzled, "Just now, Pete's company called me and said that Pete agreed to star without considering the remuneration!" ”

Ying Huayu then remembered that she had remarked Director Zhou Yimou's phone number as an emergency contact number in the email!

"But Pitt's agency believes that this is Pitt's first play after winning the Venice actor, although Pete doesn't care about the salary, but considering Pitt's reputation and other aspects, the appropriate remuneration should be 8 million ......"

"RMB or USD?" Ying Huayu couldn't wait to interrupt Zhou Yimou.

"RMB!" Zhou Yimou's voice was full of the excitement of changing sesame seeds for a big watermelon. 8 million to invite Hollywood stars, it is simply the price of a tearful sale, and anyone will laugh from ear to ear! "On the money side, you're okay, right?" Zhou Yimou was really worried that the big bargain would fall through in the end.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money!" Ying Huayu actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, but based on the producer's responsibility, she said casually, "I said, you only need to make the movie according to your ideas, and I will solve the rest, you just believe me!" ”

"Brother Ying," Zhou Yimou's side finally calmed down, "Admire!" I've never admired anyone, but this time, I really admire you! Therefore, I have to be more true to my word, you invited Pete, and I won't take a penny from the director's remuneration! ”

"I'll talk about this later, hahaha......"

Hanging up the phone with a smile, Ying Huayu clicked on the recent call record of her mobile phone and finally saw the missed call. Ying Huayu didn't feel afraid of almost missing a big event, but for Xiao Xiao to click on her missed phone at will and keep her mouth shut at all, Ying Huayu felt a little strange in her heart.

After a little hesitation, Ying Huayu dialed back the number.

"8 million, paid all at once!"

Hearing that Pitt's agency said that he had to pay 8 million in full to sign the contract, Ying Huayu was completely stupid. Although the 2 million invested by Mao Zhu is added, the total investment is just enough to pay for this money after excluding other costs, but Hu Mantian's investment is allocated in installments, and Ying Huayu will at least wait until he gets the last installment of the investment to make up the 8 million, which will be three months later at the earliest!

"Three months is too long, ten days at most! Give your day to think about it! "Pitt's agency has a very tough attitude.

Damn, I know that Lao Tzu can't do side quests for ten days, and he has no skills and no prop cards, so it's deliberate, right?

Ying Huayu couldn't help but feel like a mother in her heart.

After communicating for a long time, the other party proposed that if Ying Huayu paid 400 million first, they would agree to sign the contract, and then Pete would appear on time at the start-up ceremony. However, ten days later, if the other 4 million is not received, even if Yinghua Yufang defaults, Pete has the right to pat his ass and leave!

Ying Huayu hesitated completely.

Is it worth it?

This is the first question that Ying Huayu thought of. But soon, Ying Huayu came to a positive conclusion. Pitt has just been named the Venice Best Actor, and it is self-evident how much influence this halo has added to "Smart Space". Moreover, if you are going for the Oscars, it is even more indispensable for Pitt, in the context of the Oscars becoming more and more "white", don't expect the Yankees to award the Golden Man to all yellow-skinned movies!

Can you shoot all of Pete's scenes in 10 days?

This is the second question that Ying Huayu thought of. But soon, he gave a negative answer. Even if it can be filmed in ten days, it is destined to be a work that cannot withstand scrutiny, which is definitely not what Ying Huayu wants to get with so much effort.

Obtaining all the investment funds and successfully signing a contract with Pete is the only solution that Ying Huayu thought of.

However, without skills and prop cards, how can Hu Mantian agree to pay all the investment money at once?

Ying Huayu thinks that this is the biggest problem she has encountered when she lives to be thirty years old.

couldn't think of how to solve this problem, so Ying Huayu didn't dare to agree to Pitt's agency easily. Otherwise, 4 million will be a fatal blow to the crew!
