Chapter 164: Discovery
Zhang Xiao's difficulties, of course, Gu Xiao knew that when the two re-signed the contract at the beginning of the year, according to Gu Xiao's current status, Zhang Xiao could provide very little help. If this situation is encountered in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info circle, the agent will only symbolically take a part of the labor fee, because the connections and resources at this time are all in the hands of the star himself, and the agent is not much use except for helping him negotiate the specific content of the project.
When the contract time is up, re-signing the agreement means that Zhang Xiao's commission will be reduced, but the contract taken by Gu Wu will still be divided according to the previous proportion.
Looking at Zhang Xiao's excited expression, Gu Wu smiled and said, "I myself am sometimes quite axial." You have taken me with me since I was a newcomer, and at that time, not only was the frequency of my taking on the drama low, but the salary given by the filmmaker was not high. Until now, my salary is still not as good as those first-line actors in TV dramas. I know you completely see me as an actress with a growing career, and money has never come first in my case.
I feed my family alone and don't go hungry, and the money is enough for me to live comfortably. But it's hard for you, you still have a big family to raise.
At that time, you didn't tell me about your difficulties and put pressure on me, and now it's time to repay you. Our commission ratio is still according to the previous agreement. “
People get along with each other little by little, accumulating trust and affection.
Gu Wu has been cultivating for more than half a year, and she once didn't take on dramas or shoot commercials for several months in order to wait for a good script.
Gu Wu's own life can be persevered, but Zhang Xiao suffered.
Gu Xiao's lack of income is equal to Zhang Xiao's lack of income, and there is not much other income except for the meager basic salary. At that time, there was a lot of pressure at home, but despite this, he would rather spend his savings than open his mouth to put pressure on Gu Wu.
This friendship Gu Wu has always kept in his heart, so when the contract is signed again when the time is up, Gu Wu will naturally repay him.
is a bit hypocritical, it is true that for Gu Wu in her previous life or in this life, the need for money is not her first choice.
Gu Wu in her previous life belonged to the type of "popular for three or five years, desperately making money, and then passing away". Of course, she doesn't want to just give up because she loves acting. Even if she doesn't have much popularity in the future, she can only play a supporting role as a second female for some newcomers, but her income has always been able to maintain a relatively high level.
Not to mention in this life, Gu Yu earns a lot by herself, and Hou Fuxiu also provides her with a lot of help. Not to mention maintaining a living, even if Gu Wu lives twice as luxurious as she does now, her income can afford it.
She didn't do that but she was tired of those things, and now Gu Wu likes some niche brands produced by Nordic designers, and she is not afraid of hitting shirts and is easy to highlight her personal characteristics. Her clothing preferences have now affected Hou Fu Xiu, and she took him with her and started buying them with Gu Yu.
Gu Wu is not short of money, but she also knows the importance of money, and her silent help moved Zhang Xiao so much that she didn't know what to say.
"Actually, I really don't have much to do here, and Li Ye's side is probably quite stable. In fact, if you think about it, if you single-handedly polish an idol into a long-lasting star, it is also a very rewarding thing, isn't it? ”
Zhang Xiao smiled after hearing this and said, "You just want me to think about Huang Jingran's matter, right?" ”
Gu Wu nodded: "I saw his expression that afternoon, and I saw seriousness in his eyes. He really wants to go the long way on his own. But you also know that our industry is definitely not popular by hard work, there are too many accidental factors in it. But his popularity now proves that he has an audience, at least he can attract some fans who can appreciate him. What is lacking now is planning and internal foundations. It is obviously unrealistic for him to give up his job to go to the film academy, he is very energetic now, it is better to learn while working, find a line teacher, and an acting teacher to teach all the way. ”
Zhang Xiao thought about it for a long time and sighed: "You are really soft-hearted, and you agreed to what others asked you for." ”
Of course, Gu Wu can't say that it's because she remembered herself in her previous life, how much she wanted to act and act well? It's a pity that no one was able to give her a chance. Now that she has this ability, when others ask for a hand in front of her, Gu Wu is willing to give opportunities to young people who want to improve.
"I'm going to go back and talk to him and I'm going to show him all the examples of how the transformation has failed. If he makes up his mind, then I will cooperate. It's a big deal to earn less. ”
Gu Wu patted him on the shoulder: "I know that you are afraid that he will fail, and he has no money and is angry." We have seen too many examples of this, and you don't want him to be like that, both public and private, as the agent who led him into the industry. But young people don't try it much, how do they know it doesn't work? ”
Zhang Xiao looked sideways at her and smiled.
Subsequently, Gu Wu was busy because she was preparing to start filming a new film. Zhang Xiao almost devoted his time to Huang Jingran except for some necessary conditions.
The results of going to Xu Jia's audition also came out, Xu Jia was not satisfied at the time, but later Zhang Xiao led Huang Jingran to meet the director alone, and the three talked for two hours, and then Xu Jia promised to give Huang Jingran this opportunity.
But he also made it clear that if Huang Jingran did not perform well, he would change the script on the spot to reduce the role of the original male lead to an inconspicuous small supporting role, or even completely reduce it. If they're willing to try, they don't want to spend four months taking the risk.
On the spot, Huang Jingran made a big salute to Xu Jia.
Looking at such a virtuous young man, Xu Jia raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The news after that was all known from Zhang Xiao's sporadic complaints.
Because his lines are not good, Huang Jingran gets up at six o'clock every day to run and practice breathing, and trains his lines by the way. An idol who turns day and night upside down has become a model worker who goes to bed late and gets up early in Xu Jia's crew.
The rest is a grinding scene after a while, listening to Zhang Xiao's tone, he couldn't stand it for a while, but he didn't expect that kid to survive without complaining.
This kind of dedication has also been rewarded accordingly, at least in Zhang Xiao's eyes, Huang Jingran already has the word acting skills, at least in the whole movie, it is no longer a laggard.
Just a month after Gu Wu joined the group, Huang Jingran's side was finished.
On the night of the finale, Huang Jingran, who was drunk, made a special phone call to Gu Wu, and his speech was a little upside down, but it did not affect Gu Wu's understanding of what he meant.
He thanked Gu Wu sincerely, and then complained a few words about what had happened to him in the past four months, listening to his tone, Gu Wu could think that these days in Xu Jia's hands he was living a hellish life.
It's not just physical exertion, it's more of a psychological stress. 、
Xu Jia has a good idea of who Gu Wu uses, sometimes Gu Wu herself is weak if she doesn't make full preparations, and Huang Jingran, a person born in idol dramas, faced the group of actors who completely suppressed his opponents in terms of momentum, and his psychological pressure at that time can be imagined.
But he still survived, survived the four months, and learned a lot of things himself, which he couldn't learn from acting in idol dramas all his life.
After the two of them woke up the next day, Gu Xiao called Zhang Xiao to ask about the situation, Zhang Xiao said something similar to Huang Jingran, Zhang Xiao at this time did not have the previous weakness, maybe it was Huang Jingran's performance and hard work that gave him confidence.
When Gu Wu went home in the evening, he told Hou Fu Xiu about these things, and he was very strange why Gu Wu was so concerned about this kind of thing, in fact, Gu Wu was in the attitude of sending the Buddha to the West. Since she decided to help, she didn't want to see Huang Jingran bad.
Hou Fuxiu touched her head and smiled: "You are also an old mother mentality." ”
Hou Fu Xiu quietly listened to Xu Hang's report on the other side in the study, and after a long silence, he spoke: "Degu really rejected her?" ”
Xu Hang: "Yes, that's what our informant who stayed over there said. Because Degu is not familiar with Hou Qian, it is a very dangerous thing to do. After thinking about it for two days, Degu officially rejected Hou Qian's invitation to cooperate. ”
Hou Fuxiu thought for a moment before speaking: "Do you think this is good news for us?" ”
Xu Hang: "Degu is an opponent that cannot be taken lightly. He has been able to develop to this point, and his own caution has played an important role. From his standpoint, it is not surprising to refuse Hou Qian's invitation to cooperate. “
After hearing this, Hou Fuxiu was silent for a while and said, "You are right, he is a powerful person. It can be seen from the fact that he indirectly killed his eldest brother but was able to get out of the way. But don't you think it's a little strange this time? Let's not talk about how Hou Fu Xiu is, Hou Qian alone is not a personality that is so easy to give up. is saying that if you refuse just because of the danger, then Hou Qian can start with the less dangerous things first, as long as there is time, the two sides will establish a certain degree of trust. “
After listening to Hou Fuxiu's words, Xu Hang broke out in a cold sweat: "You mean that Degu has already discovered our informant by his side?" Or have the informants been bought and are waiting for us to be fooled? “
Hou Fuxiu: "Don't think about it so much. The evidence we have doesn't prove that he's found it. All of this is based on my understanding of Hou Qian. Hou Qian has never been a person who gives up easily, and now Degu, who can have the means to achieve her goals in the country, is the first choice. This time, even if Degu really rejected her, she wouldn't give up. But. “
Speaking of this, he paused: "But if the second kind of Degu finds out that there is someone around him and he deliberately releases this kind of news, then we will be in big trouble." ”
Xu Hang thought of Degu's rumored methods, and the whole person was a little bad.
"So we're going to find an excuse for that guy to get away from him?"
Hou Fuxiu thought about it and denied it: "Now we don't know anything, and rash action can easily arouse his suspicions. But in order to be sure, our people have to be transferred, but it can't be him who opens his mouth. ”
Xu Hang hesitated: "You mean to let Degu take the initiative to replace the people around him?" ”
Hou Fuxiu: "Yes." ”
"How is this going to be done?"
Hou Fuxiu smiled slightly: "If he suspects a person, he will solve the problem ruthlessly, but when everyone around him can't be trusted, will he kill them?" The safest way to do this is to replace them all. ”
After finishing speaking, Hou Fuxiu scratched the phone, put his hand on the side of the table, and suddenly heard a click, and a dark compartment popped up under the office.
Hou Fuxiu entered the twelve-digit password, and then took out a very "ancient" mobile phone inside, this mobile phone is a special encrypted signal, unless you find a top hacker to crack the satellite firewall, otherwise no one can find out the signal.
Waiter dialed the only number stored on the phone.
After two calls, the other party picked up.
"Alai, it's time to act."
A long time ago, Hou Fuxiu thought that it was useless to use ordinary methods for people like Degu, and after returning from the island, Alai, who had never appeared in the country, was arranged by him to become a dark chess piece under Degu.
Now to muddy the waters around Degu, it is finally time for Alai, who has been silently lurking for more than three years, to take effect.
Alai was silent as usual, and after listening to Hou Fu Xiu's words, he only said, "Okay, boss! Four words hung up the phone.
At the same time, Degu sat in the box of the splendid nightclub, leaning on the woman who was almost **** off next to him, drinking slowly.
"Big brother, are you looking for me? How? Aren't they good at serving? It's okay if it's not good, just now the top brand of our store was called by me, do you want to try it? ”
Degu shook his hand and made a gesture, and the dancer was very discerning and saw that she quickly put on her clothes and got up to leave the box.
The other party knew that he had something to say to himself at such a glance, closed the door and sat down.
"It's convenient to talk here?"
The other party immediately nodded: "Don't worry, this box is only for VVIP guests, and it will be thoroughly cleaned every time it is used up." ”
Degu nodded, then looked at his brother who had climbed up from the back street and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm not clean around me." ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little stiff.
What does this mean? What he wants to say for his eldest brother has always been a leisurely walk, but this time he came to him alone and said to him, does it mean that there is no one around him who can be trusted?
Thinking of this, the man immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Degu looked at his expression and smiled: "It's okay, the other party shouldn't want my life." ”
The subconscious of this sentence is that if the other party wanted his life, he would have been in the coffin a long time ago.
"Big brother, what should I do now?"
There is no one around you who can be trusted, and the feeling is terrifying.
Degu slowly took a sip of red wine: "If you want to change people, you have to change them slowly." There are not a hundred or eighty subordinates around me who come and go, they are in charge of my business on weekdays, and I can't control it myself if I can't catch the ghosts here. ”
Degu looked at him and asked, "You are my brother from the back streets, and you don't get involved in my business on weekdays." As an outsider, who do you think those inner ghosts will be? ”
The man babbled for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you are really embarrassed for me, some of the people around you I haven't even seen face-to-face." How can it be clear? But some time ago, you asked me to pull out all the power of Zhang Xiaoyu's woman. Is she playing ghost in it? ”
If Degu would never have thought that a woman would be able to shake his foundation before, but now the constant events have proved that there is more than one inner ghost around him, and this reality makes him have to bow his head.
