Chapter 249: Door-to-door
Although her "Twilight" rushed to the second box office in history in one fell swoop, strictly speaking, she is just a cutting-edge director, even if "Twilight" is not her, she will continue to shoot, but without Zeng Xiaoxian, the problem will be a big deal!
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly and didn't speak, but said in his heart that he really did it himself!
If "Twilight" hadn't been written by him, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even think about these conditions, and the position of my protagonist would have changed, let alone promise me five percent of the protagonist's box office dividends, even if the salary is fifteen million, God willing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Today, I'm here to inform you that it's less than a week. Our crew is about to start filming. You have to prepare early."
"Prepare early?" Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly pulled down a black line on his forehead, please, there is still a week to turn on, you are only talking now, and you should prepare early, will it be a bit too exaggerated!
But fortunately, Zeng Xiaoxian already knew that Fox would compromise sooner or later, so he didn't arrange any announcements and current periods for a period of time after that, otherwise the problem would be serious, but after this time. The cooperation of the next few "Twilight" is not so troublesome, this time to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than who has grinded whom, and the basic form of cooperation has been set after this time.
Only Zeng Xiaoxian put forward the conditions, and there is no part that Fox refuses, of course, if the box office of "Twilight" is not good in the future, it will be another matter.
"Got it, I'll report to the crew in two days!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile.
"That's good, I'm here for this today, and since you already know, then I'll go back!" Catherine said.
"Let's go get some rest! It's close! Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and invited, according to the Chinese tradition of hospitality, it would be a bit unreasonable to let her go like this.
"No, I still have a lot to do!" Kajiline said with a wave of her hand.
Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned, since you are so busy, what are you doing here? Didn't you know that there was such a magical thing as a telephone in these worlds? However, seeing the other party's dusty appearance, he obviously didn't think so much, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
Catherine came in the dust, and left quickly, Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and made a call: "Hey." Sister Qing? ”
"Yes, it's me!" Fang Qing on the phone yawned, "It's so early!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian ran around the world to promote his album, and Zeng Xiaoxian, as an assistant, naturally had to follow, so such intensive publicity made Fang Qing really unbearable, after all, she was still a normal person. It's not just a good rest.
"Oh, that's right, Director Catherine has informed me just now that "New Moon" will start filming soon, so you have to prepare yourself!" Zeng Xiaoxian said.
"Isn't it!" Fang Qing was a little distressed, he just came back and was about to be busy again, but Fang Qing had always followed Zeng Xiaoxian's side, and basically knew that Zeng Xiaoxian's filming of "New Moon" was just a matter of time, and it was not a problem at all.
"Alright, I got it!"
Zeng Xiaoxian hung up the phone and wondered, should he really be looking for a few assistants, you must know that among artists of Zeng Xiaoxian's level, it is estimated that except for Zeng Xiaoxian, an outlier, they are all professional teams that take care of life and image and other things!
People like life assistants, agents, bodyguards, drivers, etc. are basically taken care of by Fang Qing alone, of course, sometimes this will still be taken care of by a team specially sent by the company, such as when filming, during large-scale concerts, it is not a problem that Fang Qing can solve alone.
Zeng Xiaoxian is estimated to be the smallest star, compared to many second- and third-tier artists and stars, Zeng Xiaoxian is a thrifty artist in the upper circle, Zeng Xiaoxian's affinity is also well-known in the industry, if the insiders hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it is estimated that they would not believe that Zeng Xiaoxian, who has risen like a rocket in recent years, has only one assistant to follow him all year round.
In the past, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't mean to add any assistants, because he felt that he could handle it, and it was not a baby, he needed the help of so many people, but as time went by, it developed more and more, and Fang Qing alone was a little too busy, and if he continued like this, he would be dragged down sooner or later.
The orange-red sun gradually hung high, enveloping people in an inexplicable glow, and a few bird calls broke the silence of the villa area in the early morning.
"I'm a little bird
"Fly, fly, fly, fly, don't fly high!" Zeng Xiaoxian carried a bag of breakfast in his hand and walked briskly on the cobblestone path, humming a small tune in his mouth.
Thinking of Hu Yifei's sweet smile in his heart, the smile on Zeng Xiaoxian's face became brighter, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Carrying things, Zeng Xiaoxian entered the house, closed the door, and put the eight-treasure porridge he bought on the dining table, Zeng Xiaoxian shouted upstairs: "Yifei, the things have been bought!" ”
Then he smiled, poured the eight-treasure porridge into the bowl, and went upstairs with the eight-treasure porridge.
immediately smiled, poured the eight-treasure porridge into the bowl, and went to the room with the eight-treasure porridge, Hu Yifei sat on the bed, wearing a snow-white long-sleeved shirt on his upper body, completely unable to hide the looming pure white small underwear and two white flowers on the slender **** of the lower body, Zeng Xiaoxian was dry for a while, so he had to silently read that color is empty, empty is color!
Carefully took the eight-treasure porridge to Hu Yifei and sent it to the bed and carefully fed Hu Yifei to drink the porridge one by one, the movement was gentle as if Hu Yifei was a baby who was not yet a month old, although Hu Yifei was very moved, but seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's cautious and playful appearance, he finally couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, your appearance is so funny!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian's face suddenly darkened, this girl is too hateful, but seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's black face, Hu Yifei was not afraid, but laughed even more unscrupulously, and Zeng Xiaoxian, who laughed in the end, only had a helpless wry smile.
At this time, the doorbell rang downstairs, Zeng Xiaoxian had no choice but to give up and kiss Hu Yifei on the small mouth that was still stained with porridge, and then he walked downstairs with relief.
went downstairs, Zeng Xiaoxian opened the door and saw that it was none other than Producer Zhang and Director Yu, who had a relationship with Zeng Xiaoxian before.
Although Zeng Xiaoxian wondered why these two would come to him, he still opened the door immediately and said with a smile: "Producer Zhang, how come Director Yu is free to come to my house today, welcome!" ”
After the three of them sat down, Zeng Xiaoxian asked again: "Producer Zhang, why is Director Yu free to come to my house today, welcome!" ”
Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, but Yu Min opened his mouth and said: "That's the case, we invite you to participate in the role of Yang Kai in our "Chivalrous Love" when we come this time!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian said with a surprised face: "Wait a minute, haven't we negotiated this before, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have been discussed!" ”
The conditions put forward by Youyue the night before and the treatment that Zhang Ji was willing to give were heaven and earth, and there was basically no premise for negotiation, so Zeng Xiaoxian didn't have any thoughts, and Zeng Xiaoxian didn't have to participate in the performance of "Chivalrous Love", and it wasn't a sweet treat.
"Huh!" Yu Minzhong smiled and said, "The so-called good things are grinding, negotiation, isn't that what it is, where can it be negotiated once!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly, but did not speak, who knows what kind of medicine this Zhang Ji sells in the gourd, what he wants to do, and wants him to act according to Zhang Ji's conditions, don't even think about it, he has not been cheap to that extent.
No matter what kind of star you are performing in China, it is certain that you will lower your salary, even if you are Jackie Chan, you are helpless, after all, domestic prices are like this, but it can't be said that you don't care about the price at all.
"Oh, if you really want to say it, why don't I ask my agent to talk to you!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a sigh.
Zeng Xiaoxian said this, Zhang Ji looked at Min, the last time, Zhang Jizhong realized that it was not Ye Youyue who could really make the decision between Zeng Xiaoxian and Ye Youyue, but Zeng Xiaoxian, who seemed to have no autonomy, and now go to Ye Youyue to negotiate if Zeng Xiaoxian is not satisfied, then everything is equivalent to nothing, so they will come directly to the door.
"No need, I think Zeng Xiaoxian is also a person who can call the shots, I think I will respect your opinion over there, right?" Yu Min said that no matter which company it is, when dealing with an international star of Zeng Xiaoxian's level, it will of course respect Zeng Xiaoxian's intentions, which is a normal practice.
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled again, noncommittal, and said: "Although this is the case, but unfortunately, I should not be able to play the role of Yang Kai!" ”
"Why? This time, we are naturally here with sincerity! At this time, Zhang Ji finally spoke, "I will definitely not embarrass you and Mr. Ye!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled and said: "Naturally, I am honored that Producer Zhang and Director Yu came to the door in person, but before this, I had already promised Director Catherine of the United States to play the role in "Twilight Crescent", so the schedule is inseparable!" ”
In any case, there really is no way to do things on this schedule.
Zhang Ji and Yu Min's faces froze, aren't they, are they late?
Suddenly the two of them became bitter gourd faces, think about it, the opponent is "Twilight", the movie that created a box office miracle a few months ago, received rave reviews, and compared with himself, it was definitely a scolding, and he didn't have the confidence to let Zeng Xiaoxian push down "Twilight" and take over the role of a knight.
Unless Zeng Xiaoxian has a bad brain, but seeing that he is so shrewd, it is obviously impossible for him to be a stupid person, even a stupid person knows how to choose between the two.
Zeng Xiaoxian is face is regretful, in fact, he has long been happy in his heart, who let this beard be so hateful, he completely thinks too highly of himself, as if he has to act, what kind of bullshit conditions are offered, treat him as a beggar to send away, now even if he wants to follow Zeng Xiaoxian's conditions, it is useless, and the schedule is not wrong.
Sighing pretendedly, Zeng Xiaoxian said: "It's a pity, as far as I know, the filming time of "Chivalrous Love" will start in September, and I will go to the United States to shoot "New Moon" in August, and it will be at the end of September and early October at the earliest, it seems that I can't catch up!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian's words are already very clear, that is, I don't have time, where do you fall in love, oh no, it should be where you should go back!
Originally, in fact, there was still a discussion on this matter, that is, Zeng Xiaoxian could shoot "Chivalrous Love" after filming "Twilight Crescent", and "Chivalrous Love" only started filming in mid-September, and it was only ten or twenty days late at most, which is not worth mentioning compared to the filming time of "Chivalrous Love" for more than half a year, and it is still too late to make a trip!
Zeng Xiaoxian expected that Zhang Ji would not compromise, after all, Zhang Ji had a super control over his name, and he would never allow anyone or anything that was not under his control to appear, Zhang Ji's filming has always been like this, any actor must honestly stay in the crew from beginning to end, no exceptions.
It's not okay to be absent for more than ten or twenty days at once like Zeng Xiao, and he is also a very important male number one.
Zhang Ji and Yu Min didn't think that the problem was so tricky, originally the problem between them and Zeng Xiaoxian was just a matter of salary and treatment, but they didn't expect that there were many variables in it, and the problem was not so simple.
In fact, the problem has never been simple, but Zhang Dabeard looked too much at his influence and did not seriously consider Zeng Xiaoxian's opinion, which made the problem more complicated.
"Well, Zeng Xiaoxian, let's think about it later?" Yu Min said.
"Please!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a slight smile.
"Zeng Xiaoxian, who's coming?"
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and as soon as the three of them turned their heads, they saw Hu Yifei, who was dressed in casual clothes, walking down.
"It's Producer Zhang and Director Yu!" Zeng Xiaoxian replied with a smile, "Why did you come down, you are not feeling well today, and you can't rest well, what if you catch a cold?" Zeng Xiaoxian said worriedly.
In fact, Zeng Xiaoxian doesn't mind revealing his relationship with Hu Yifei in front of insiders, anyway, there are many people who know this relationship, but insiders know the rules relatively speaking, as long as it is not hostile to you, the problem is not big, and they will not talk nonsense.
Zhang Ji and Yu Min both felt that their brains seemed to be a little insufficient, whether they were mistaken, the two of them actually lived together.
Although sometimes Hu Yifei would not give Zeng Xiaoxian face just now, but when there were outsiders, Hu Yifei still gave Zeng Xiaoxian enough face, and after saying hello to the two, Shi Shiran went upstairs.
The two of them were also very interested in asking anything, and after asking Zeng Xiaoxian, it was estimated that they would not say anything specifically, and the gossip would have to be divided into times.
Zhang Ji thought about it, the one in his heart is called struggle, the last negotiation with Zeng Xiaoxian has actually basically explained the problem, the conditions of the two sides are too different, although he is very satisfied with Zeng Xiaoxian's appearance and acting skills, but he has to give up, after all, he still has to stick to his bottom line as a producer.
