Chapter 679: I paid her liquidated damages!
"Director Chen, can you send me home?"
Li Ruoxun's sudden appearance was beyond Chen Ping'an's expectations: "What about your own car?" ”
"I don't have a car...... I came by taxi in the morning. ”
"Oh, it was my mistake! That, what car do you like, I'll give you one when I turn around, how can my heroine not have a car! ”
Li Ruoxun wanted to refuse at first, but when she heard the latter sentence, her attitude softened a lot: "No, how can I accept such a valuable gift, I haven't paid the rent yet." ”
"That's it, you don't have to excuse yourself. If it gets out, the heroine of my new play can't even afford to drive a car, and I don't know how those reporters will arrange you! ”
"Well, well, any car."
Unconsciously, Li Ruoxun found that he was not so resistant to accepting Chen Ping'an's gift, and there seemed to be a slight sense of self-satisfaction in his heart - the joy of being favored.
"Get in the car!"
The big head looked at the two of them, started the car, and said, "Boss, Miss Li doesn't have a car during this time, why don't you pick her up every day to start work and call it a day?" Sometimes we have a meal together after work and don't have to worry about being too lonely, right? ”
"Don't be so troublesome, how can you be embarrassed to delay Director Chen's time." Li Ruoxun shirked again, Chen Ping'an looked at the big head with satisfaction, and nodded secretly in his heart: "Let's do what the big head said first." It's almost noon, so let's go have a meal together. It just so happens that I know that there is a Canadian restaurant in Central, and it tastes very good. ”
Li Ruoxun did not refuse again, and took the initiative to chat with Chen Ping'an about the script.
Joining the entertainment industry was forced, but now she has no choice. Media discussions. The pressure of public opinion, the eyes of others, Chen Ping'an's past achievements. They all pressed on her shoulders like mountains.
Fortunately, although she is delicate and resolute, she will not give in to pressure, but try to prove herself in "Star Wish". Just like Wang Jiawei said, although she is a monk halfway, she studies the script very hard and ponders the characters.
Chen Ping'an was analyzing the heart of Qiu Nan's character to Li Ruoxun. Li Ruoxun suddenly interjected: "What did Deng Cuiwen talk to you about just now?" ”
"Didn't talk about anything."
"Didn't talk about anything? She was a little lost when I saw you turn away. ”
"Do you think that everyone is like you, so uncherished my invitation! "Rain Man" knows. "Crazy Flower of the End" knows, there are people who regret it! ”
"I didn't fail to cherish ...... I'm just not sure if I'm a good fit for the world. ”
"You're suitable, I can vouch for your future. If there is a problem. You're going to come to me and be responsible. ”
"Looking for you to be responsible? What can you be held accountable for? I'm afraid there are a lot of female stars you are responsible for, right? ”
"Huh? How do I smell a sourness? Did I smell it wrong? ”
The big head of the car also said: "Boss, you didn't smell it wrong, I smelled it too." ”
"Drive your car well!"
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Li Ruoxun's face turned red. She couldn't tell why she said that, or what she thought when she said it.
The Western restaurant that Chen Ping'an said is quite famous in Central, and he has brought Wang Guxian here before, and many well-known people in the financial and entertainment circles will come here to dine.
This time, Li Ruoxun was invited to dinner. Inevitably, I met a lot of acquaintances and greeted each other. Li Ruoxun was full of praise, and even some merchants directly invited her to shoot advertisements for their products.
The meal at noon was very rich, but what Li Ruoxun remembered most was not this meal, but this circle, a circle that ordinary people could not reach.
She used to be a flight attendant, and when she was serving in the first class, she also met a lot of rich and successful people, but it was only a simple contact, and today at noon, she really saw the corner of this circle.
It's a very different level from her previous life!
She also saw some film and television stars, or friends getting together for a small get-together, or accompanying others to make appointments, and the amount of food and clothing opened her eyes. She is not a money worshipper, and she is not envious of this, but she always has ideas.
Just like now, she met an acquaintance, who was also a beautiful woman in the finals of the Asian sister, who was dining with the two men. The two men, sitting opposite was a middle-aged man, with a big belly and a well-dressed person, obviously a rich man, and the man sitting next to her was thin and dressed simply and casually, nodding frequently and smiling with a smile. The three of them chatted softly, looking at their expressions very happily.
Hey? He, how did he get over?
Chen Ping'an's figure blocked Li Ruoxun's sight, and walked quickly to the table.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
After Chen Ping'an appeared at the dining table, the girl and the man next to him hurriedly got up to say hello, Chen Ping'an asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Mr. Chen, I ......"
As soon as the thin man spoke, he was interrupted by Chen Ping'an: "It's not you I'm asking." Wan Qiwen, what are you doing here? ”
The beauty that Li Ruoxun saw was Wan Qiwen, who missed the top five in the finals because of a stomachache. She replied softly, "Eat." ”
"Is it just eating?"
"Mr. Chen, yes, look up for a long time." The pot-bellied middle-aged man opposite Wan Qiwen stood up, "Contemptible Wang Jianping, ready to invest in a movie." Miss Wan is the ideal heroine in my mind, and I invited her to dinner and talked about the contract by the way. ”
"Yes, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang plans to make a movie and wants to invite Wan Qiwen to star. He invited us to dinner at noon, that is, we met to discuss the signing of the contract. ”
"You are?"
"I'm a staff member in the station, and I've been in charge of extras in your play before, and you are so busy that you may not remember me."
Chen Ping'an looked at Wan Qiwen again: "He asked you to film?" ”
"yes." Wan Qiwen felt very aggrieved, "Boss Wang is very good, the salary is very high, and there are no other requirements, and he also said that this drama will not only be released in this city, but also distributed to other places in the future." ”
Chen Ping'an chuckled in his heart: "You signed a contract?" ”
"That's right!"
"Why don't you tell Taili? Did you know that such unauthorized signing is not allowed? Have you read the script? ”
"It's not ...... yet" Wan Qiwen's little temper came up, "Why can't I sign a contract?" The station didn't give me a notice. I don't have a job, and I have to live with my family with money, isn't it good that someone is willing to ask me to film? ”
She didn't control her voice. alarmed the other customers in the restaurant.
Western restaurants are very taboo to make loud noises, and the more high-end Western restaurants are, the more particular they are, and there are already waiters walking by, intending to remind them that they have disturbed the meals of other customers.
Wan Qiwen felt that this meal was very happy, and the salary for filming was not low, but after Chen Ping'an came over, he was scolded. How can there be such a boss? She was very aggrieved, but she didn't notice the change in the expressions of Wang Jianping and the ATV staff.
"Dare to sign a contract with someone else without reading the script?"
"What's ...... then?"
"Shut up!" yelled at Wan Qiwen and kicked the waiter. Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand, "I'll take a look at the script." ”
"Mr. Chen, this is not in accordance with the rules." Wang Jianping refused, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of reminding you." I'm not your employee. Please don't yell at me. ”
"Okay, you won't let me read the script, no problem, can I read the contract? Of course, if you are tricky with the contract, you can continue to say no. ”
Wang Jianping did not admit that the contract was a troublemaker, but he was also unwilling to let Chen Ping'an see it. At this time, Wan Qiwen seemed to understand and handed over the contract she had received.
The contract is crude. There are a lot of loopholes in it, all of which are not conducive to Wan Qiwen. In the future, if something goes wrong. The only one who suffers is Wan Qiwen.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the name of this play - "Chasing the Corpse"!
"Grade III?"
Wan Qiwen hurriedly explained: "No, Mr. Wang assured me, saying that it is not a third-level film, but just using this name to attract the audience's attention, and there will be no large-scale shots in it." ”
"He said no, no, no? Did you understand this contract? According to the requirements of this contract, when you join the crew, you have to shoot whatever the director wants you to shoot, even if you are naked, you can't refuse, otherwise it will be a breach of contract! You stupid girl! ”
"Huh? No way? Then I won't shoot! Wan Qiwen was stunned, she absolutely didn't want to make a third-class film, "Mr. Wang, I won't shoot anymore, you can take back the contract, this is an advance salary, and I don't want it." ”
Chen Ping'an swept his eyes, 20,000 yuan...... Is Nima Wan Qiwen so cheap!
If the matter is broken, Wang Jianping will not have to = continue to pretend. He tore off his hypocritical disguise and stepped aside the 20,000 yuan: "Miss Wan, we have signed a contract, if you want to break the contract, you will have to pay a lot of liquidated damages!" ”
"Liquidated damages? I didn't say this before! ”
"It's clearly written in the contract, you are always in black and white, right?"
"I'll see!"
When the contract was signed just now, Wan Qiwen had been poured ecstasy soup by ATV's staff and Wang Jianping. praised her for her beauty and temperament, she will definitely be popular after filming, and she was dizzy to praise, she didn't read the contract carefully at all, but after listening to Wang Jianping's introduction, she signed her name on the contract.
Only now did she see the amount of liquidated damages listed in the contract, saying that if she unilaterally broke the contract and caused losses to the crew, she would need to pay 1 million Hong Kong dollars as liquidated damages.
"A million!"
This amount of money is absolutely astronomical for her now, and she can't afford to pay it.
Wan Qiwen's face was pale and her body trembled, tears swirled in her eyes, and the remorse in her heart was indescribable; Wang Jianping smiled proudly: "Miss Wan, either you will finish filming this drama in accordance with the provisions of the contract, or you will compensate me for my loss, one million." ”
"I don't have that much money......"
"Then let's film."
Wang Jianping picked up 20,000 yuan and prepared to stuff it into Wan Qiwen's hands. Chen Ping'an snatched the money and threw it on Wang Jianping's face: "Isn't it just one million, I'll go out for her!" ”
After that, he took out the check book from his arms, wrote a check for one million, and slapped it in front of Wang Jianping: "Put the check away, get out of me immediately." I'll give you three days, and if you're still in Hong Kong after three days, you'll be responsible for the consequences! ”
"What, your dignified boss Chen is still going to find someone to cut me? Although I don't have as much money as you, I'm not afraid of you! If you have the ability, you will find someone to kill me, otherwise I will accompany you to the end! ”
"Cut, you don't need to do this. I sue you, I am a serious businessman, and I will not find someone to beat and kill people, but I can use regular means to bankrupt your company, if you don't believe it, let's see. ”
"Carman, let's change restaurants for dinner." Turning around and coming back, he beckoned Li Ruoxun to leave, and Chen Ping'an added, "Wan Eryan, are you going with me, or continue to eat with them?" (To be continued......)
