Chapter 190: It's Good to Be a Boss Woman
In early September, Chen Ping'an flew to Los Angeles in the United States, accompanied by Shang Geyunton.
The global box office with a cost of one million or seventy million marks the success of "Blood Spot", and Shang Gewenton has also attracted the attention of many Hollywood film companies with this movie. After the U.S. box office came out, he received a number of film offers, and several companies wanted to poach him.
Although he signed a ten-year contract with Dark Horse International, the liquidated damages for the contract he signed in Hong Kong were not high based on the price standards of the United States. One million Hong Kong dollars is a lot for Hong Kong people, but in the eyes of the Americans, it is only a few hundred thousand dollars. Among them, there are some well-known medium-sized companies, such as Canon Films, who threw an olive branch to Chiguoguo and wanted to recruit him.
Shang Gewenton is bent on making a name for himself in Hollywood, and the temptation is currently appealing to him. He contacted these companies in private, thinking that he had avoided Li Xiaolin, but he didn't know that even Anne Heard had discovered his abnormal movements, and Li Xiaolin and Li Xiaolin respectively notified Chen Ping'an, who was far away in Hong Kong. Li Xiaolin even sued Zhang Guozhong, so that the top management of Hong Kong Dark Horse International knew.
The high-level management of Dark Horse International was set up by Chen Ping'an, putting aside their respective professional abilities, it is only said that unity is something that various film companies do not have. They could not tolerate betrayal and were ashamed of Shangovunton's betrayal.
Chen Ping'an still cherishes the friendship of the monk Ge Yundun, when he first came to this world, Shang Ge Yundun was his first real friend, even if he started to contact Shang Ge Yundun, with a certain purpose.
So he ignored this matter and let Shang Ge Yunton choose, which is also the best test for Shang Ge Yunton and the friendship between the two.
Fortunately, after a few months of consideration, Shang Geyundun withstood the test, resisted the temptation from all sides, and chose to return to Hong Kong to find Chen Ping'an to admit his mistake.
"Chen, I was wrong, I was blinded by Satan and almost lost my best friend that God gave me. Chen, I sincerely ask for your understanding, I can swear to God that my friendship will never be shaken again, and you will always be my boss. ”
Li Xiaolin and Anne Heard both stared at Shang Geyunton, Chen Ping'an knew that this guy did not agree to any film company invitation, and he did not take any movies in the past few months, but kept swaying and considering, even if the salary on those contracts was very attractive.
"Since you still recognize me as a friend and me as a boss, will I be the kind of stingy person? As a punishment, though, I'll only make one more film for you this year, and the director is not me. ”
One by one, the way of civil and martial arts, a slap to a sweet jujube envelopment.
Shang Geyunton sincerely repented, and Chen Ping'an was not stingy, and he was ready to shoot the second movie of the year for Shang Geyunton - "Lethal Weapon".
When he took out the script of "Lethal Weapon" from the safe, knowing that he had already prepared the script for himself, Shang Geyun's eyes moistened, and tears of regret fell.
After receiving Chen Ping'an's understanding, Shang Geyundun returned to his true character of talking, and enthusiastically pulled Chen Ping'an to chat. That night, he invited everyone to drink in the night bar, and he was still in the booth where he used to sit, and he was drunk and vomited so much that it was self-punishment, and finally everyone forgave him.
The next day on the plane, he was still thinking about the movie that Chen Ping'an had taken back, and asked Chen Ping'an if he would shoot it next year and whether Chen Ping'an would direct it himself.
"Lao Shang, some things are missed, and people always have to pay for their mistakes. I have already decided on that movie, directed by Lao Wu, starring Fa Ge, and will be shot next year. ”
When Chen Ping'an was still on the plane, Li Jiaxin took her mother and sister to Ming Xin Garden in Tsim Sha Tsui East, a 3,000-square-foot unit on the 28th floor. The decoration of the room is very new and luxurious, the furniture and appliances are also new, and the sea view of Victoria Harbour can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side.
Li Jiaxin grabbed the arms of her mother and sister Li Jiaming, and said happily: "Mommy, sister, this will be our home in the future!" ”
Mother Li looked at it, and the luxury of the room made her uneasy: "Michelle, the rent here is very expensive, we can't afford to live there." ”
"It's okay Mommy, this is our home, no rent."
"Really?" Mother Li and Li Jiaming looked at Li Jiaxin suspiciously. Their family is not well-off, and they can't afford to live in such a good unit. Li Jiaxin didn't know how to explain for a while, she couldn't speak for a long time, but Zhang Ziyang next to her helped her: "Auntie, you can rest assured that you can live here, if you have time today, we can go through the transfer procedures." ”
"Transfer? To whom? Who are you? Mother Li nervously hid her two daughters behind her, looking at Zhang Ziyang and Dwarf Niu vigilantly. She remembered that when she came by car, the dwarf cow was the driver, and Zhang Ziyang sat in the passenger seat, and she didn't say anything, and she thought that these two people were sent by the advertising company to send them off.
"Of course, it's for you." Zhang Ziyang explained with a smile.
Li Jiaxin is still young, and it is inconvenient to transfer this 3,000-square-foot sea-view house to her name. After Chen Ping'an discussed with her, he decided to transfer this unit to Li's mother's name, so that the three of them could live better and no longer have to suffer poverty.
Mother Li became more and more worried: "Why should such a good house be transferred to me?" Who are you and what do you want to do? I warn you not to hit my daughter's idea, or I'll call the police!" ”
Li Jiaming poked his head out from behind his mother, stared at Zhang Ziyang and the dwarf cow for a long time, and asked timidly, "Where do I want to see you...... Are you Chen Ping'an's bodyguard? ”
The dwarf cow looks more distinctive, and often accompanies Chen Ping'an, and often appears in the newspaper, Li Jiaming recognizes him, but he is not sure. Dwarf Niu is also a celebrity now, and Li Jiaming can't imagine that his family can be involved with such a successful person.
The dwarf cow grinned, and before he could speak, Li Jiaming was so frightened that he hid behind Li's mother with a "mom" sound, and Li's mother glared at the dwarf cow angrily, thinking that he was going to be unfavorable to his daughter.
"Brother Niu, don't scare people!" Zhang Ziyang hurriedly explained, "Auntie, don't get me wrong, we have no malicious intentions, this is all arranged by our boss." ”
Li Jiaming poked his head out again: "Is it really Mr. Chen?" ”
"Of course! If it weren't for Mr. Chen's orders, I would have been your driver? ”
Chen Ping'an's reputation is very good, and Li's mother is a little relieved: "Why did he do this?" ”
"Mommy, this unit was given to me by Brother An." Li Jiaxin finally spoke, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that it was bad, and Li's mother really looked at her suspiciously: "You call him ...... 'Brother An'?" ”
Li Jiaxin also reacted quickly, and thought of an excuse in the blink of an eye: "Mr. Chen said that I am very similar to his sister, let me call him brother." ”
"Even so, he doesn't need to give you such a big house! What conditions did he make? Li's mother thought that some time ago, her daughter didn't come home for a few days, saying that she was shooting an outdoor advertisement and wanted to live outside for a few days.
"He didn't mention conditions, only said that he wouldn't let me shoot commercials in the future, and said that he wanted me to study hard, and when I reached the age of eighteen, he would sign me to make a movie."
"So good?"
"That's right." Zhang Ziyang took over the conversation, "Our boss is very generous, and he has never been stingy with the people he is optimistic about." He is very optimistic about Ling Qianjin's potential and thinks that Ling Qianjin can become a big star in the future, so he will do so. If you don't believe me, I can give him a call and let him tell you personally. But not now, the boss is on the plane, and he is going to the United States to film now. ”
"I believe, I believe!"
Chen Ping'an is born with a discerning eye, and he is good at discovering people, which has long become the consensus of Hong Kong citizens. After hearing Zhang Ziyang's explanation, Li's mother no longer doubted it, and she also thought that her daughter was very beautiful and would definitely become popular after entering the entertainment industry. "Thank you so much Mr. Chen!"
"Oh, we finally have a big house to live in!" Li Jiaming happily dragged his mother around the room, carefully inspecting their new home. Li Jiaxin took the opportunity to ask Zhang Ziyang in a low voice: "Brother An, when will he come back?" ”
Zhang Ziyang and Short Niu glanced at each other, and they had long recognized that Li Jiaxin in front of them was the female model on the yacht pie. "It may take a month or two, and the boss specially explained before leaving, that he will come to see you as soon as he returns to Hong Kong."
"Well, I know he's thinking about me." Li Jiaxin had a happy smile on her face, and this luxurious sea-view room of more than 3,000 square feet warmed her heart.
"Michelle, come here, it's the first time I've discovered that the seascape of Victoria Harbour looks so beautiful during the day!"
Li Jiaxin ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, and her sister Li Jiaming looked excitedly at the sea view outside the window, chattering non-stop, very excited.
Zhang Ziyang sighed: "Sometimes I think it's good to be a woman. ”
The dwarf cow nodded approvingly, and corrected slightly: "It's the woman who is the boss." ”
……
Chen Ping'an arrived in Los Angeles at 6 p.m. local time, and Cameron, Anne Head and Li Xiaolin all came to pick up the plane.
After seeing Shang Geyun, the three of them reacted calmly. Although Chen Ping'an had already told them on the phone that Shang Geyunton had learned his way and sincerely repented, it would take time for the three of them to immediately re-accept him.
At the reception banquet, from Anne Heard and Li Xiaolin, Chen Ping'an had a brief understanding of the company's development in the United States. Anne Heard has achieved good results, and the film company is running well; The agency has signed a few more actors, although they are still very young but have already entered the regular stage, and it will not be long before they can operate independently from the film company; The two crews of "Coming to America" and "Autumn Fairy Tale" were both filmed in New York, not in the same neighborhood, and still relatively far away.
At the end of the reception banquet, the Cameron couple got up to say goodbye, no longer disturbed Chen Ping'an, let him rest in the hotel due to jet lag, and would send a car to pick him up to the company tomorrow.
Li Xiaolin also left with him, but before leaving, he winked at Chen Ping'an and whispered to him that he had just signed a very potential actress recently, saying that he would bring it to the room later for him to check.
This guy!
Chen Ping'an was very satisfied with this arrangement, and when Li Xiaolin brought the female artist to his room, his satisfaction with Li Xiaolin instantly exploded - she is indeed a very potential actress! R1152
