Chapter Ninety-Four: Brother Jie's Invitation

Hearing Cage's apology, Heller saw that everyone was looking at him with concern, and quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have said that about you." ”

As a bodyguard, they not only have to protect the safety of their boss, but also to protect their reputation, so Heller is still very professional and keeps his mouth shut.

Cage said seriously: "This is really my fault, I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble." ”

Heller nodded, indicating that he accepted Cage's apology, and then turned to Ke Zihua and said, "You kid has a lot of hands." ”

Ke Zihua scratched his head embarrassedly and sincerely apologized to him, "I thought you were robbers, so I didn't keep my hand." Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

Heller grinned, waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's good that you only used apples, I just fell a little, little meaning." ”

Seeing that he didn't blame himself, Ke Zihua's mood also improved, and he said enthusiastically Innocence: "It's all Cage's fault for this, let him give you a salary increase next month, in order to express my apologies, I will invite you to drink at night!" ”

Cage also chimed in: "Just do what he says, this month's salary will be doubled!" ”

The generosity of the boss and Ke Zihua's enthusiasm finally won everyone's understanding and praise, and after cheering, they followed Cage back to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Kaiqi officially introduced several people to Ke Zihua.

Heller was a machine gunner before retiring, and in this group he was responsible for fire support; The blonde bodyguard with a white tie is called Elton, a former scout for the seals; The driver of the car is called Maxey, and like Bandy, he comes from the Ranger Army; And the middle-aged man in his forties, called Johansen, was their head, and was previously an experienced sniper.

Cage also calls in Devin and Pete, who is a demoman and medic; Pete, nicknamed Nighthawk, is the same as Johansen. He's a good sniper.

After Cage's introduction, Ke Zihua also opened his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly speak: "Obediently, these people add up, and it is clear that they are a complete special operations team!" ”

"Cage, they're well paid, aren't they? Millions a year? ”

I saw Ke Zihua ask about the salaries of the bodyguards. Cage said proudly: "They are all my fans, and they came to join me after knowing that I recruited bodyguards." The salary is only a little higher than the others, and I forced them to accept it. ”

"And when you go to the set these days, they're all around to protect you?"

Cage nodded, "You know I'm not a big fan, so they're usually free, and they'll only show up when I need to." ”

Don't like this publicity?

Ke Zihua is now completely convinced, and a special operations team is always around him. But he also said that he was very low-key, was this showing off to himself? Or show off?

Soon the hotel sent a large table of food, Ke Zihua took out the credit card given by Jerry and wanted to hand it to the waiter, but he withdrew his hand after handing half of it, and said to several people: "This is a card given by the crew, in order to show my sincerity, I have to use my own card." ”

After that, he changed to his own card. Then he also said to them: "Everyone knows my relationship with Cage, don't be polite to me." ”

This move of his. Immediately won everyone's favor, although these GIs did not understand his behavior like Cage, but they felt his sincerity, plus he was the boss's most trusted friend, so they quickly accepted him.

Halfway drunk, Elton put his arm around Ke Zihua's shoulders and asked, "I heard that your people know kung fu." Are you also a kung fu master? ”。

Ke Zihua replied humbly: "I just know how to do some kung fu, but I can't talk about masters." ”

Elton's eyes lit up immediately, and he threw a smug look at Maxi, "How's it going?" I'll just say he's a master, I'll just say it. Even things that are difficult for us to do, but he can do them with ease, and it is strange that he is not a master. ”

Then Elton continued to put his arm around Ke Zihua's shoulders and said with a thick tongue, "You know what? Actually, I'm a movie fan, and my home is in Seattle, and I've even been to his Zhen Fan Martial Arts Gym. ”

"Do you know Jeet Kune Do? I think he's the most powerful of all of you. ”

Ke Zihua knew that he had a wrong understanding of kung fu, so he seriously explained to him: "Although this word is indeed spread because of him, he cannot represent all Chinese kung fu, in fact, Jeet Kune Do is only a technical concept." ”

"But I have to say that the concept of Jeet Kune Do is very practical in actual combat, and I am also a world-famous martial arts master, and I myself have great respect for him."

Seeing Elton's appearance of understanding or not, Ke Zihua knew that he was playing the piano to the cow, so he raised his glass and said, "Respect Fu!" ”

Elton also raised his glass, "To Fu!" ”

The GIs were very straightforward and talked about a variety of topics, and soon they talked about kung fu to firearms, then to Star Wars, and finally even quarreled over which hero was the most powerful in Marvel's comics.

Seeing their appearance, Cage shrugged Ke Zihua and said helplessly: "You have also seen that in addition to digging up my black history, quarreling is their favorite." ”

Ke Zihua raised his glass to him and said with a smile: "It's very good, they are all cute, I like them." ”

Heller was already slightly drunk this time, and when he heard Ke Zihua's words, he interjected on the side: "We like you too, although you beat me up very badly, haha." ”

Ke Zihua went over and patted him on the shoulder, "Hehe, we call it no fight, no deal." ”

Heller obviously didn't understand what he said, and asked suspiciously, squinting his eyes, "What fight?" What's the delivery? ”

Ke Zihua laughed and clinked glasses with him, then drank all the whiskey in the glass, and said goodbye to everyone: "It's late, I'm going back to rest, you should rest early." ”

Watching him walk out of the room, Johansen, who was having a heated discussion with the big guy, quickly stopped the discussion and leaned over to Cage's side, and whispered: "I just noticed, he is indeed a master." ”

Cage glared at him, "Put away your set, I told you a long time ago, he's my friend." ”

Johansen said disappreciatively: "We follow you for only one purpose, and that is to keep you safe, even if you don't like me." ”

"But he can be trusted, with him by your side, we can also be idle, haha."

Cage reluctantly gave him a middle finger, then threw down the staggering GIs and walked to his bedroom, "I can't stand you, sleep, good night." ”

Seeing Cage leave the dining room as well, Johansen turned his face and whispered, "Nighthawk, it's time to do your job." ”

Pete, who was still asleep on the table just now, immediately stood up and walked outside while muttering, "It's really time for this guy to get drunk, it seems that tonight is my vigil alone." ”

Ke Zihua took a shower and was about to go to bed, only to remember that when he was in the car in the evening, he seemed to hear the phone ringing, but at that time he didn't answer because he was worried about Heller's injury.

took out the phone from his pocket and saw that it was Brother Jie calling him, and after thinking about it, he still gave it back, although it was almost eleven o'clock, he still felt that it was better to go back immediately.

Soon, Brother Jie's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone: "Hey, Xiao Ke?" Haha, finally waiting for you to call back. ”

Ke Zihua hurriedly said: "Brother Jie, I just saw your call, so I came back late, so I won't disturb your rest, right?" ”

Brother Jie smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, I haven't slept yet." yes, I'm completely fine now, so I'm leaving Los Angeles for Toronto in the next two days, and Billy will be back with me, do you have time the day after tomorrow, let's get together? ”

Ke Zihua didn't expect Brother Jie to really invite him, and hurriedly agreed: "If you have time, when?" Where is it? I'll be there on time. ”

Brother Jie told him the time and place, the two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone, Ke Zihua wrote down the time and place on the calendar, and then got ready to sleep.

He was very happy to receive Brother Jie's invitation, because he happened to have something to ask him for, and now he holds the copyright of "Iron Man" in his hand, but he doesn't know where to start.

Even Jerry can't help with this matter, it can only be achieved by his own efforts, and if he can't shoot it by then, he will be planted with a big heel.

The crew has already finished filming the first part of the action scenes, and they will not continue to shoot the rest of the scenes until late November, so Ke Zihua will have nothing to do for the next period of time.

Ke Zihua had been keeping this matter in his heart a while ago, and now that he has free time, he feels that it is time to make plans for this matter.

In the contract with Marvel, the breach of contract clause is very clear, if he can't shoot "Iron Man" as required within three years, then he will be considered in breach of contract and will have to compensate Marvel Studios a large sum of money.

And if he can get it, Marvel will not infringe on his rights during the contract period, and if they break the contract, they will also compensate Ke Zihua for a huge amount of liquidated damages.

As for Paramount, they got the biggest benefit, no matter how many "Iron Man" Ke Zihua will shoot in the future, they will be entrusted to release it.

These terms were all determined after the lawyers joined and were negotiated by the three parties, for which Ke Zihua also paid hundreds of thousands of lawyer fees, which was discounted for Cage's face.

Moreover, because of Ke Zihua's identity, after they signed the contract, he also found the local embassy and asked them to come forward for justice.

Thinking of being so troublesome at the beginning, Ke Zihua couldn't help but feel a headache, "Wait until you see Brother Jie and ask him, I don't know anything about this." (To be continued.) )
