Volume I: Chapter 77 The Great Contract
After getting off work at noon, I drove Zhou Huimin to buy a set of English textbooks from simple to difficult, and had a lunch on the street by the way, and when the two returned to the company, the time was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
As a film production company, in the days when there is no film shooting, not only all employees are very relaxed, but even Lin Xiaozhi, the president of New Asia, has not much to do, sitting in the office and turning on the computer and WPS software, Lin Xiaozhi bored his head and began to think about another script.
"Bang bang!"
The knock on the door made Lin Xiaozhi, who was buried in front of the computer frowning and thinking about the script, raise his head, "Come in!" ”
After he answered, he saw a young man with the same short hair as him pushing the door and walking in, it was Ye Weixin.
“…… Forest...... Mr. Lin ......"
Seeing that it was Ye Weixin, Lin Xiaozhi's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Sit down ......"
"Thank you!" Ye Weixin sat down on the side, and was just about to speak, when he heard Lin Xiaozhi ask, "Which one do you want black tea or coffee?" ”
"Let's make tea!"
Lin Xiaozhi helped him brew a cup of black tea, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "You came here again to ask me about the movie, right?" ”
Ye Weixin smiled awkwardly, but nodded and admitted: "Yes, Mr. Lin!" ”
Although he has only been in the industry for a few years, as the saying goes, he is not a qualified filmmaker behind the scenes who does not want to be a director. The threshold for directors in the Hong Kong film industry is not high, at least many cinematographers and action directors have been given the opportunity to take charge of the director. Ye Weixin had done scene notes and drama work in Xinyi City before, and later met the noble Zheng Zeshi, so he became a photographer and assistant director, especially after eating the beauty of being in charge of the director in the previous movie "Maoshan", Ye Weixin can be said to be a taste of the marrow, which is why he refused the invitation of the assistant director of Zheng Zeshi's new film after Lin Xiaozhi promised to invest in him to make a movie!
"I'm preparing a script, there are so many screenwriters in Hong Kong, but for a while, it's not easy to find a suitable script, which I think Producer Ye should also understand. However, in terms of investment, I can tell you clearly that it will be controlled between 1.5 million and 2 million, as I said before, this movie is just a small budget ......"
The question of what script to give Ye Weixin, Lin Xiaozhi himself also has a headache. As a reborn, what he is worried about is not that he can't find a script, on the contrary, it is precisely because he has too many scripts in his head that he is not as good as the trilogy created for Ye Yuqing, and he can directly pick out the script he needs most at present. can not only bring him high returns, but also be an instant hit to hit the signboard of New Asia, and Lin Xiaozhi needs more than this, he also wants more things.
So many requirements are gathered together, which is also Lin Xiaozhi's biggest headache now!
Ye Weixin pushed his glasses, frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, you have to give me an accurate time, in case I can't find a suitable script for half a year, then won't I be able to do anything in half a year?" ”
"Within half a year?"
Lin Xiaozhi shook his head resolutely, "No, no, no, I still expect this movie to be the first shot of next year for our company." Well, I'll take care of the script within a week, and yours will start shooting in mid to late next month at the latest! ”
Next year will be a stormy year, not only for the rest of the world, but also for Hong Kong. For the script that is about to be handed over to Ye Weixin, he has only one requirement, slow work and careful work, whether the first shot can be fired next year depends on it!
After getting his exact answer, Ye Weixin left satisfied.
“…… If I have time tomorrow afternoon, I will come to the company at half past one......"
For a whole day, Ye Yuqing's mind kept recalling that before he left yesterday, Lin Xiaozhi especially caught up and said this sentence. was a little distressed, annoyed that because of his words, there was a rift between the three daughters who were originally hugging together in order to get a big contract from New Asia. Although from the very beginning, Ye Yuqing never thought about really wanting to be a close good sister with the two of them, it is estimated that the two women who gossip about her behind their backs are the same, everyone is just hugging for a common goal.
However, she is still a little sweet in her heart, and what is sweet is that she is different from those two in Lin Xiaozhi's mind, which means that she has more hope of getting a big contract than those two.
However, even the most famous psychologists in the world have a hard time grasping women's minds. Soon, her face was gritting her teeth again, and she looked like she was itching with hatred.
is not valued by ATV, in order to make money and fame, she can tempt him to go to bed, just to take out money from his pocket to make a movie to make herself popular. In order to make the movie a big hit, she became an instant hit, she can accept to make erotic films, and even throw away the identity of Sister Ya, Dew Point, Penetration, and Chiguo to go into battle. Now, she has paid so much, but she has only enjoyed such a small return, Ye Yuqing is naturally dissatisfied.
Like Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru, as early as shortly after the painting of "I'm Crazy for Qing", she received invitations from other film companies to make films. But the price given is basically two or three hundred thousand, and the highest one is only more than four hundred thousand, but the other party has a disgusting hint that she needs to make some sacrifices.
What is the sacrifice, as smart as how she doesn't know the way, isn't it just to accompany a man to bed. If you are younger and have a better attitude, you can close your eyes and use an electric X stick to X, Ye Yuqing can also endure it. In the two years that ATV has been neglected, she has seen the cruelty and indifference of the entertainment industry, and she knows how to use her figure and posture to climb up. However, the other party is a person who is old enough to be her father, and there is also the smell of foxes, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels disgusted, and almost without hesitation she gave up this opportunity.
The three female protagonists of "I'm Crazy for Qing" are popular, and she is the most popular of the three, not to mention the other two.
Do you want to see him?
Ye Yuqing is very distressed now!
That man seems to have changed!
She has often had this feeling in a trance recently, not only when they met for the first time, but his standard dress has become Lin Xiaozhi's main casual suit now, not to mention the change in his hair color, length and decoration. Ye Yuqing faintly felt that the man who had been entangled with her in bed many times seemed to have undergone a change that she couldn't even say. It's like ignorant that the first brother is experiencing sex. After love, suddenly all the childishness disappears, and maturity degenerates into a real man!
Yes, yes, that's what it feels like.
During this time, Ye Yuqing had no doubts. Could it be that the bloodlines of those so-called wealthy families who keep up with high society are really so good? She had been seriously exposed to that before, but she was just a standard gentleman who could only play guns, play with women, and get into trouble, and after she came into contact with the most suitable industry for herself - the movie, all the excellent genes from her parents hidden in her bones woke up? How else to explain all these changes that have arisen from him!
The time was slowly approaching the agreed time in Ye Yuqing's hesitation, until she noticed that it was already close to one o'clock.
Looking at the appointed time that was about to come, she finally made a decision in her heart, and after hurriedly drawing a picture for herself, she was about to rush to the broadcast.
It's a pity that people haven't gone out yet, and uninvited guests have come to the door. The people who came were Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru, under the guise of inviting her to dinner and shopping, what thoughts were hidden in her heart, she still didn't know what to do. Ye Yuqing hated it so much, but she didn't want to tear up the alliance and tacit understanding between the three daughters before she couldn't get Xinya's contract, so she could only anxiously calculate the time while accompanying the two girls to wander on the street, until it was almost five o'clock, she found an excuse to separate from the two girls, quickly called a taxi, and went straight to the radio road.
"Mr. Lin, let's go first......"
"Mr. Lin will see you again ......"
The time to get off work is coming soon, because there is no movie shooting recently, and the company doesn't have so many things to do, so as soon as five o'clock arrives, the employees in the company are almost gone in a few minutes, and only a few people such as Lin Xiaozhi and Zhou Huimin are still there.
“…… Didn't come? ”
Playing with a two-yuan coin in his hand, Lin Xiaozhi frowned. He made an appointment with Ye Yuqing to meet at half past one, but he didn't return to the company until two o'clock in the afternoon, which was to correct Ye Yuqing's thoughts, guessing that she would probably not come at that time in order to take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price. Even if she comes, Lin Xiaozhi can hang her for a while if she is not there, so that she can know that New Yafei can't turn without her.
Lin Xiaozhi thinks that he has been in the circle for more than ten years, and he rarely looks at people, which is the experience gained from reading countless people, and it is precisely because he has this ability that he can take advantage of all parties in such a short period of time and climb to the position of president of New Asia. It's just that he didn't expect that he planted a heel fight on Ye Yuqing's body, and he didn't expect that woman to be so calm. It seems that what she wants is not small, and I have prepared a contract for her in the morning, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep her.
“…… Mr. Lin, will you start today? ”
Seeing that Lin Xiaozhi had been staying in the office, even when it was time to get off work, he had no intention of leaving the company, and remembered what he said in the morning, please tutor him in English. Zhou Huimin had no choice but to come into his office and ask.
"Forget it today, Miss Zhou, I have something for you to do now, as for English tutoring, let's start tomorrow!"
didn't wait for Ye Yuqing, a cash cow with a lot of status in his territory, Lin Xiaozhi's mood suddenly deteriorated, and he didn't have the mind to tutor English, "I'll write you a note, you take it to ATV's artist management office, help me call up a female artist file named 'Ye Zilin', and find her address and contact information to me." I'm going to work hard for you today, and if you don't have a car, I'll send you back! ”
“…… Okay, I'll go! ”
Zhou Huimin took the approval order he wrote by himself, hurriedly walked out of the New Asia office, and rushed to the ATV artist management office on the other side of the fourth floor, and went to find the female artist named 'Ye Zilin' according to his instructions.
Because he didn't wait for anyone, Lin Xiaozhi's mood suddenly turned bad. The script is the most needed state, and under the violent fluctuations in the mood at the moment, the state that is already not good is even worse, so that until the pointer on the wall unconsciously passed half past five, outside his office, when there was a rush of footsteps, Lin Xiaozhi still did not choose a suitable movie script, and could only unconsciously type a long list of script titles on the computer that he thought were suitable.
"Got contact information so soon?"
At this time, the employees of New Asia have almost gone. Although Lin Xiaozhi heard the sound of panting and appeared in his office with the sound of footsteps just now, he only thought that Zhou Huimin was back.
“…… I'm sorry Lin Shao, I was delayed for some time because of an appointment? ”
A bewitching and seductive voice sounded, and when Lin Xiaozhi heard that it was not Zhou Huimin, he looked up and was immediately happy. It turned out that the person who came was Ye Yuqing, who had disturbed his mind and did not go to the appointment on time.
“…… Lin Shao, you don't blame others, do you? ”
When the words fell, a layer of mist seemed to have begun to brew in this woman's eyes, although Lin Xiaozhi knew that she was acting, he had to admire this woman's ability to cry when she said she would.
However, under the gains and losses, although he regained his mood, Lin Xiaozhi no longer had the intention of grinding skin with her.
"Yesterday you came to the company to ask for a new contract, and I guess there must have been other studios offering you an offer. However, the quotation is the quotation, and it is not counted if you don't see the contract. He took out two different contracts directly from the drawer and put them on his desk: "In the movie "I'm Crazy for You", your performance is the most amazing, and Xinya also intends to focus on cultivating you, but you don't want to sign a long-term contract for three or five years, and it is not in the interests of the company. So, I've prepared two contracts for you that are different from others. One of the single films has a salary of 400,000 yuan, and the heroine of the movie gives you a guarantee of being directed by a famous director, but there is no box office dividend; The other salary is 600,000 yuan, with box office dividends, but you have to sign contracts for two movies, and your role is not guaranteed...... This is the best contract that New Asia can offer you, I want to remind you that New Asia's next movie will start shooting early next month, and I will send the script to the director tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and by the way, discuss the issue of actor selection, and leave you with little time......"
