Chapter 12
After Wen Minxuan left, Gu Xue also planned to leave, she wanted to say goodbye to Sui Yun, but the other party had already been taken to the office by Manager Su, it is estimated that she was trained, as for how long she will be trained, it is difficult to say.
So, Gu Xuejing walked out of the western restaurant.
On the road outside the restaurant, cars were coming and going, bustling, Gu Xue stood on this bustling street for 20 minutes, but she didn't get a car. She couldn't help but sigh that she really should go to get a driver's license, so that she could save the trouble of taking a taxi.
Yu Guang glanced inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure coming out of the restaurant behind him, Gu Xue immediately turned around and looked at the person with some surprise.
Sui Yun had already taken off his waiter uniform at this moment and changed into a casual suit, he obviously also saw Gu Xue, and walked over slowly, "Haven't left yet?" β
Gu Xue glanced at him a few times, and asked hesitantly, "...... you Off work? β
Sui Yun smiled bitterly, "I've been fired." β
Sui Yun's day can be described as a "surprise", first unexpectedly met Gu Xue and her fiancΓ©, and then, he was inexplicably framed by Wen Minxuan's design, and then, inexplicably fired, it is really a bit like a bloody TV series.
Gu Xue had actually guessed a few points, and from Manager Su's flattering appearance, it could be seen how much he was stammering with Wen Minxuan. Since Sui Yun offended the young master of the Wen family, Manager Su naturally would not keep him anymore.
Although all of them were ghosts caused by Wen Minxuan, it was because of Gu Xue, so Gu Xue inevitably felt a little guilty, and she was hesitating whether to comfort the other party, but at this time, Sui Yun opened her mouth again, "Your fiancΓ© seems to have misunderstood." β
Wen Minxuan's eyes when he looked at Sui Yun, and the sentence "We will come to Japan for a long time" before leaving, it was clearly a posture against the enemy, no matter how slow Sui Yun was, he had already noticed something unusual.
Gu Xue looked away and replied lightly: "He is not my fiancΓ©, and I have nothing to do with him anymore." β
Sui Yun sighed, and his tone was also light and light, although he was innocent and inexplicably involved in other people's emotional disputes, but these were Gu Xue's private affairs after all, and he didn't want to inquire too much.
Neither of them spoke anymore, and for a while they were a little cold. A wave of student-like people passed by them, leaving behind a burst of laughter, and on the road in front of them, cars were flowing endlessly, and the sound of honking horns sounded from time to time.
In a noisy background sound, Gu Xue opened her handbag, took out a business card and handed it over, "I plan to make a movie next, I will need some field workers at that time, if you are interested, you can call me." β
Sui Yun took the business card, looked down, and then said lightly: "Thank you." β
After standing on the side of the road for nearly half an hour, Gu Xue finally got a taxi, however, just after driving a few roads, she encountered a traffic jam again. Looking out of the windshield, it was densely packed with cars, and the road ahead was also blocked.
Gu Xue put her elbow against the edge of the window, supported her chin, and sighed helplessly.
There was a gray Audi parked on the right side of the taxi, Gu Xue turned her head slightly, and saw the person sitting in the driver's seat of the adjacent car, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "Sister Song Man." β
Song Man stared ahead, her fingers tapping the steering wheel rhythmically, and when she heard someone shouting her name, she subconsciously turned her head.
She looked at the girl opposite for a while before she recognized the person, "Gu Xue? β
"Sister Song Man, when did you come to Haishi?" Gu Xue didn't expect to meet Song Man here at all, today is really a special day, people from all over the world have gathered together.
"It hasn't been long since I arrived." Song Man smiled gently, her acquaintance with Gu Xue could be described as full of drama, an ordinary extramarital affair, but it connected the two of them.
The road conditions in front of them gradually improved, and the long queue of vehicles began to move, Gu Xue and Song Man hurriedly exchanged contact information, made an appointment to have a meal together tomorrow night, and then drove away.
The next evening, when Gu Xue arrived at the hotel that the two had agreed, Song Man had already ordered food. As soon as everyone arrived, the waiter served the hot dishes one after another.
The two chatted while eating, and casually talked about each other's recent situation.
"I've filed for divorce in court." Song Man put down his chopsticks, picked up his goblet, took a sip of red wine, and his tone was as calm as if he was telling someone else's story.
Gu Xue sighed softly, a little sorry for Song Man, but after thinking about it, it's okay to leave, the kind of man who spends all day outside messing with flowers and grass doesn't want it.
Song Man was silent for a while, and then continued: "I asked for custody of my son, as well as half of the family property, I thought, I should be able to win this lawsuit, I submitted evidence of my husband's cheating to the court, and he couldn't come up with any evidence to prove that I was wrong." β
Speaking of this, she suddenly glanced at Gu Xue, "Xiaoxue, thank you." If you hadn't reminded me, I might have fallen into Lin Xinyan's trap, and if that was the case, my husband would have sued the wicked first, and in turn, accused me of cheating. β
Gu Xue smiled, this matter was purely unintentional, she originally just wanted to cheat Lin Xinyan of her money, but by mistake, she became the benefactor of the former actress.
When asked about her current situation, Gu Xue said that she planned to make a movie, and described the difficulties encountered in the process of finding investors.
Song Man pondered for a moment and said, "I know a Hong Kong businessman who is planning to invest in movies recently, I can introduce you to him, maybe he will be interested in your films." β
When Gu Xue heard this, she immediately became interested. Wen's Group is definitely a financial giant in the sea market, but it is not so popular in Hong Kong. Gu Xue didn't believe it, Wen Minxuan could still pry Hong Kong businessmen and make the other party not cooperate with him.
Two days later, Song Man arranged for Gu Xue to meet with the Hong Kong businessman. The man's name was He Chen, a middle-aged man with a little bald on the top of his head, a chubby face, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking very kind.
He Chen and Song Man have been friends for many years, so he is also very enthusiastic about Gu Xue, and after a brief look at the script outline, he agreed to invest in the movie.
For He Chen, 10 million is not a big amount, he has the right to use this small-budget movie to test the water in the mainland film market first, and by the way, he can also sell Song Man's favor.
Gu Xue was naturally very happy, and a big stone in her heart finally landed, however, when the two discussed the signing of the contract, He Chen put forward a condition: "Miss Gu, can I designate the actor of the male number one?" β
Gu Xue was stunned for a moment, from the bottom of her heart, she was very disgusted by the fact that the investor designated the male and female protagonists, and the actors designated by the investor are generally related households, and the image and temperament of these people often do not match the characters in the movie, and sometimes, they are even far away.
But who makes the family the owner of the money, rich is the uncle, although Gu Xue is not happy, but there is no way, "Mr. He, which actor do you plan to recommend?" β
He Chen fiddled with the red sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, his expression was very leisurely, "I have a friend, his son just graduated from film school this year, and when he heard that I was planning to invest in movies, that friend asked me and said that if there is a suitable role, let his son try it." β
Gu Xue pondered the wording and said euphemistically: "Mr. He, what kind of actor to choose has to be determined according to the needs of the role, if the actor you designate does not match the role, it will be a little troublesome." β
"You just let him play it first, let's try it." He Chen saw that she seemed a little embarrassed, so he smiled, "I really hope that he can act, but if he tries and it really doesn't work, I won't be reluctant." β
The person He Chen introduced was named Mu Qiancheng, who was said to be a rich second generation, and Gu Xue made an appointment with him to meet at the Yueheng Film Headquarters Building on Wednesday morning.
At that time, the appointed time was half past nine in the morning, but it was not until a quarter past ten that this Mu Dashao slowly paced into Gu Xue's office, and came with him, an agent, and two assistants.
Before she saw herself, Gu Xue was worried, afraid that the other party's appearance would disappoint her, but when she saw her, her worries were immediately dispelled.
Mu Qiancheng is very beautiful, the kind of beauty between a man and a boy, he has a handsome and handsome face, but with a cute feeling, it should be regarded as the favorite type of girls.
The group arrived late, but they didn't feel ashamed at all. Mu Qiancheng sat down on the leather chair and stretched out his right hand towards Gu Xue with a full face, "Hello." β
Gu Xue shook hands with him, and then put the two employment contracts on the table, "Regarding the salary, I have already talked to your agent on the phone." β
She paused, glanced at the female agent named Ada next to Mu Qiancheng, and then continued: "This is the contract, you can see what else is wrong." β
Mu Qiancheng took the contract and handed it directly to ADA, while he sat on the side, shaking his legs. After reading it for a while, Ada said that there was no problem, and Mu Qiancheng lazily picked up the pen and signed it.
After the two parties signed the contract, Gu Xue handed over the script prepared in advance, "This movie will be launched on the first of next month." After you go back, you can read the script first and familiarize yourself with the characters. β
Ada took the script, said a few more polite words, and then the group left.
Although Mu Qiancheng barely spoke, and he still looked like he was dragging, but overall, the signing process was quite smooth. Gu Xue only hopes that Mu Qiancheng can show himself well when filming, and as for his attitude or something, there is no need to worry about him.
