Chapter 54: Accidents
Today is Friday, and it is a very important day for Ke Zihua, because he will meet the most famous gold medalist in Hollywood.
However, our Ke Zihua didn't seem to care, and he was about to go out for a run early in the morning, but he was stopped by Liu Qianwei, who was more neatly dressed than him, "Don't run today, you hurry back and pack up, the plane will arrive in a while." ”
It turned out that Liu Qianwei had been waiting for him in the living room for a long time, Ke Zihua saw that she was wearing a formal professional suit, and she was very surprised to draw a beautiful light makeup, and couldn't help but ask a little funny: "Auntie, are you going on a blind date?" ”
Liu Qian said angrily: "What nonsense? Hurry up and pack up, or you won't be able to catch the plane. ”
Ke Zihua had to explain to her that he did not plan to pick up Jerry at the airport, but made an appointment with him to meet him in the hotel suite.
After Liu Qianwei heard this, she was stunned: "Why didn't you sue me last night, so I got up before dawn." ”
Ke Zihua said helplessly: "I'm sorry, you asked too many questions last night, and I forgot about it in a mess of my mind." ”
As the two were talking, they saw Su Luo walking downstairs in loose pajamas, rubbing his dark eye circles, "I'm sorry, Zihua, I didn't sleep well yesterday, I just got up, you wait for me and I'll clean up." ”
Seeing Su Luo's appearance, Ke Zihua was a little distressed, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Su Luo dodged his gaze, lowered his head and replied softly: "It's nothing." So he hurried back.
Ke Zihua didn't know what was wrong with her, so he turned his head to look at Liu Qianwei, "Auntie, what's wrong with Su Luo?" I saw that she was in a very bad state, and her eyes were dark. ”
Liu Qian sighed heavily, "What else can happen?" Seeing that her sweetheart was going to Hollywood, that stupid girl was in a hurry. ”
"Amount"
Ke Zihua didn't expect Su Luo to have such a reaction, but he had already been here, and with his understanding of Su Luo, he understood that it was this news that made Su Luo worried.
This is also the reason why he obviously likes it very much in his heart, but he has never confessed it!
They are all just high school students, and no one is sure about the future, so he will be more cautious and treat this innocent feeling.
From the moment he met Su Luo, he knew that her dream was Harvard University, he couldn't go to Boston, he was going to Los Angeles, he was going to Hollywood, and it was a full 3,000 kilometers away from Boston!
Distance is not a problem for him, but he is afraid that Su Luo will not be able to stand that kind of torment, so he can only keep those words deep in his heart.
At least for now, he didn't want Su Luo to change his goals because of him, Ke Zihua felt that if he really cared about a person, he had to give her freedom and let her live freely, instead of tying her to his side early.
"Auntie, give me some time, I'll have a good talk with her, trust me."
Liu Qianwei didn't have much to do about it, so she had to go with the flow, so she said helplessly: "This stupid girl is sometimes a tendon, you can help me persuade her well, I can't do anything about it." ”
At a quarter past eleven, the two rushed to the hotel designated by Jerry as scheduled.
Because it was a private meeting, Jerry didn't invite John, as Hollywood's hottest producer, he didn't need to think about John's feelings, as long as it could achieve the purpose of his trip.
After explaining the situation to the receptionist, the two took the elevator to the twenty-second floor of the hotel, and as soon as the elevator door opened, they saw Jerry already smiling and waiting for them in the front hall.
Seeing Ke Zihua's young appearance, Jerry expressed his surprise: "Wow, I really didn't expect you to be so young." ”
Ke Zihua has long been accustomed to this, and stretched out his hands with a smile: "Jerry, there is nothing wrong with being young. ”
Jerry shook his hand vigorously and explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ke, please forgive me for being abrupt, I didn't say that being young is bad, but your talent scared me. ”
After speaking, he smiled politely at Liu Qian next to him and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady?" ”
Ke Zihua hurriedly said: "This is Ms. Liu Qianwei, my aunt, and also my guardian. ”
"Oh, then according to your etiquette, shouldn't I call her aunt too?"
Liu Qianwei hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "Don't, don't, don't, you can call me by my name, if you are not used to it, you can also call me Susan." ”
Jerry naughty Nunu mouthed, "Alright then, Aunt Susan." ”
I didn't expect Jerry to be so funny, Ke Zihua laughed happily, "Haha, auntie, you have taken a big advantage." ”
Although she was a little embarrassed, Liu Qianwei was no longer nervous, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand with a slightly red face, and said, "It's nice to meet you, Jerry, I didn't expect you to have no saf at all." ”
Jerry shook her hand gently, and didn't have to give a kiss like on TV, he knew that most of the Chinese people were disgusted with this way, and then enthusiastically let the two of them into the living room.
After everyone sat down, Jerry explained his intention straight to the point, "Mr. Ke, I came this time to invite you to join my crew. ”
"I was shocked when I saw what you guys were shooting at Shirley's that day, and this was exactly the kind of scene I wanted!"
"After paying the price of a big meal, Paul's boy finally told me about your situation, so I came here as fast as I could."
Ke Zihua has long known the ins and outs of the matter, he not only knows Jerry's intention, but even knows which film he is here for.
But he still asked Jerry for information about the film, and some things had to be done according to the script, "Mr. Jerry, can I ask some information about the movie you are talking about?" ”
Jerry was incredulous about Ke Zihua's attitude and reaction, "Why does he look so calm? Does he even know who I am? ”
Although there were some small doubts, Jerry, who was eager to find talent, still introduced him to the situation of the upcoming movie.
"The film is based on 1974's Broken Bikers, and we brought in the hottest action star Nicolas Cage to play the starring role."
"The heroine is the sexy Angelina Jolie, who has just finished filming "Soul Shifting Girl" and "Human Bone Puzzle", and will come to the crew to report after a while."
"Because of the influence of the original and the signing of Cage and Jolie, we are very optimistic about the future of this film, and we will invest 80 million to 100 million dollars to make this film."
"We also brought in Dominique Senna, who is a very good director, and I'm sure you'll have a great time with him."
Speaking of this, Jerry said excitedly to Ke Zihua: "This is an absolute masterpiece!" Especially now that I've met you again, I dare to believe that when it comes out, it will definitely make a splash in the whole world! ”
For what Jerry said, not only did he know these things for a long time, but even the box office and word-of-mouth of the film were clear.
This is a typical Brookheimer work, not only the action is hot but also the jokes to spice it up, so it has achieved a global box office of nearly 250 million after its release, and it is also one of Nicolas Cage's masterpieces.
Since it is such a classic movie, what reason does Ke Zihua have to refuse, so he happily agreed: "Jerry, I am very honored to be part of your crew." ”
"I don't think anyone can say no to such a film, and no one can refuse your personal invitation, and I feel honored for that."
Jerry was very happy, sat on the sofa next to Ke Zihua, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm so glad you can come, if it weren't for your age, we should really have a drink, haha." ”
Ke Zihua shrugged helplessly: "There is still a week, my God, it is really a long week." ”
According to the agreement between Liu Qianwei and Ke Zihua, it is time for her as an agent to appear.
saw her straighten up, and then said to Jerry: "Mr. Jerry, as Ke Zihua's agent and temporary guardian, I think we should talk about his salary and treatment." ”
Jerry thought for a while, and then said to the two: "That's right, I want to hire Mr. Ke to be the action director of this film, of course, including doing some wonderful stunts, you know that fans still want to see real scenes more than those bad special effects." ”
Liu Qianwei nodded in agreement and continued to ask: "What is the specific salary?" ”
Jerry smiled and held out two fingers and said, "Three million dollars!" ”
Because she had already received John's prompt, although Liu Qianwei was very shocked, she still suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and continued to fulfill her duties as an agent.
Liu Qianwei turned her head to look at Ke Zihua, saw him smile and nodded at her in agreement, and continued: "Mr. Jerry, I think you are the person who knows Ke Zihua's value best, so I want to know what kind of treatment he will have after joining the crew?" And what kind of rights does he have? ”
Seeing that Jerry was a little puzzled, Liu Qianwei continued: "To put it simply, I think Ke Zihua should enjoy the same treatment as a star, and he should also have independent decision-making power, you know that he has such an ability, right?" ”
Jerry barely squeezed out a smile, and then complained to Ke Zihua: "Ke, your agent is really amazing, haha." ”
Ke Zihua knew that it was time for him to come forward, so he gave Jerry a bright smile, and then said: "This is also something I want to know very much, you know that if you don't have enough rights, it will greatly affect the creation of the movie." ”
Jerry nodded, his expression becoming stern, he didn't expect the other party to make a request in this regard. According to his thoughts, as long as he shows enough sincerity, Ke Zihua will not refuse.
Now it seems that things have developed beyond his imagination, this kid who looks extremely young, not only wants the treatment of a star, but also wants the right to be independent.
This can't help but make him think carefully, if the salary is too high, he will worry that others will not be satisfied, and if he is given the right to make his own decisions, then I am afraid that Senna will not do it first.
You must know that if in an action movie, the director does not have the decision-making right to shoot action scenes, then he is equivalent to being set aside!
Jerry didn't expect that the negotiations, which should have been smooth sailing, would have such an accident.
