Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Seven Little Blessings Combined
"Mr. Xu, did you have anything to do with us today?" Brother Cheng Long, who is still called Yuanlou, asked with anticipation on his face.
"Yuan Lou, a few days ago I promised to open a new play for you and praise you as the leading actor. How's it going, are you in a hurry? Xu Guanwu smiled slightly.
"No, if anything." Cheng Long scratched his head and smiled honestly.
He is only a big boy in his twenties now, and he is not a superstar in the future Shijie film industry, and he has not yet developed the temperament of a big brother who is indispensable, and he is still a little shy and nervous in the face of his boss Xu Guanwu.
"Since you're not in a hurry, let's delay it for a few days." Xu Guanwu joked.
"Don't, we're all in a hurry." Cheng Long hurriedly shouted, and everyone in the room laughed for a while.
Cheng Long himself couldn't help but scratch his head, and his face turned red.
"Okay, being anxious means that you have momentum, if you're not in a hurry, I'll be in a hurry." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I'll tell you a good news, the company has decided to start filming the drama "Serpentine Trickster". Yuan Lou, you are the leading actor! ”
"Wow!" Everyone in the room immediately cheered, and Brother Cheng Long jumped three feet high.
"After the filming of this drama is completed, I promise that you will all become big stars, and there will be many companies to dig into the wall at that time, so ......" Xu Guanwu changed his words, "Let's be villains first and then gentlemen, you should take a look at this contract first." ”
Listening to Xu Guanwu's words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then grabbed the contract on the table and looked at it.
The contract requires each of their actors to sign a three-year contract, which states that during the contract period, the actors will be given priority to appear in the company's films, and the remuneration will be set according to the market price. During the contract period, the company must obtain the company's consent to make a film from an outside company, and the company will take a 20% commission from it......
After seeing this contract, Qi Xiaofu and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"You go down and discuss it first, and then give me an answer in the afternoon. Yuanlou, if you see Mr. Hong Jingbao, say that if he wants, I want to find him to be the director of this play. Xu Guanwu's words were an understatement, and everyone was suddenly blown up.
……
"Yuan Lou, what do you think?" Hong Jingbao asked with a frown after listening to the relays of several senior brothers.
"Senior brother, I plan to sign this contract." Brother Cheng Long said with a solemn face, "Mr. Xu is willing to praise me as the leading actor, that is, people take a fancy to me." If I really became an instant hit, naturally I can't forget my righteousness. So I decided to sign this contract. ”
"Yuan Lou, did you really decide that? Even if someone comes to you with millions of Hong Kong dollars to sign a contract later, you don't regret it? Hong Jingbao asked solemnly.
"This ......" Cheng Long was stunned for a moment.
If millions of Hong Kong dollars are placed in front of your eyes, will you really not be tempted?
"Yuan Lou, think about it carefully." Hong Jingbao patted Cheng Long on the shoulder and said.
Brother Cheng Long was stunned there, on one side was a three-year deed of sale, and he immediately became the protagonist, and he immediately became an instant hit; On the other hand, there is freedom, but I don't know how long I have to work hard, whether there is Bole to appreciate his thousand-mile horse.
How to choose, Cheng Long quickly made a decision.
"Senior brother, I still decided to sign this contract." Cheng Long stood up and said in a resolute tone.
"Well, have you really decided?" Hong Jingbao looked at him and asked seriously.
"I really decided, I think if I don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid that in another three or five years, no one will ask me to play the leading role. And even if there are companies willing to praise me, how can I be sure that they won't put forward the same conditions? Cheng Long explained, "This is a godsend for me, and I don't want to miss it in vain." ”
"Well, you can think things through so thoroughly, which proves that you have indeed grown up. Yuan Lou, I'm very happy. Hong Jingbao patted Cheng Long on the shoulder, quite with the joy of my family's children growing up.
"Senior brother, then how do you reply to Mr. Xu? Can you pick up this film or not? Cheng Long asked curiously again.
"Are you going to sign this contract too?" Hong Jingbao didn't answer, but turned his head and asked the others.
The other brothers saw that Cheng Long had signed as the protagonist, and they were still hesitating about what the supporting roles were, so they also decided to sign this contract first.
"Since this is the case, then our senior brothers will advance and retreat together!" Hong Jingbao waved his hand and smiled.
"Great, I can work hard with my senior brother again this time!" The Seven Little Blessings cheered together.
……
In the afternoon, the seven little blessings were really combined, and they signed the contract together with their senior brother Lin Zhengying.
In fact, Hong Jingbao had already preliminarily formed the Hong family class at this time, and there were not only his own brothers under his command, but also some other martial artists. Some of these people followed Hong Jingbao to the Xu Brothers, while others chose to find another way.
Among these martial artists who remained, Xu Guanwu found many well-known kung fu stars in later generations, such as Feng Ke'an, Zhong Fa, Curry, Mars, Chen Long, etc., and a short man surprised Xu Guanwu, who turned out to be Zeng Zhiwei, the "Luo Han Guo" in the Five Lucky Stars.
Zeng Zhiwei saw Xu Guanwu constantly looking at him, and couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart. He actually followed Liu Jialiang before, but later heard Yuan Biao say that the salary of the Xu brothers company was one percent more, and when he saw Hong Jingbao becoming the director this time, and Yuan Lou was the protagonist, he couldn't help but move in his heart.
He knew that the martial artist industry would not be able to do it for a lifetime, and he himself was a halfway monk, and his kung fu foundation was not good, so it was difficult to have a bright day in the martial arts industry, so he wanted to change his career while he was young.
happened to meet Hong Jingbao to gather his brothers, so he saw the right time to follow, thinking in his heart that the Xu brothers company had just been established, and all kinds of talents were quite lacking, if he could have the opportunity to show his talents, he would probably be appreciated for it, and it would be good to be a screenwriter.
"Mr. Xu, this brother is Zeng Zhiwei, who used to be in the Hong Kong football team, is very flexible and good at positioning, and is a very good martial artist. And because he is petite, he can serve as a stand-in for some actresses. Hong Jingbao saw Xu Guanwen glance at Zeng Zhiwei a few times, and hurriedly introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Zeng Zhiwei smiled modestly.
"You're okay too." Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, the current Zeng Zhiwei's image is very different from that of later generations, at that time he was short and fat, a little like the big sweet potato in "Old Master", but now he is thin and thin, and he doesn't have so much fat, "I heard that you occasionally have xiexie scripts, right?" If you have time, you can show it to me. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but be stunned, "How did he know about me secretly writing the script?" Could it be that Brother Hong knew my thoughts and specially mentioned it in front of Mr. Xu? Zeng Zhiwei glanced at Hong Jingbao gratefully, "Yes, Mr. Xu!" I'm still just trying to write, and I can't do it, so I'll show it to Mr. Xu when I'm done. ”
"Okay, the company is now lacking all-round talents like you," Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "In fact, everyone can enrich themselves a lot like Zeng Zhiwei." The company is also willing to provide opportunities for everyone to play. I believe that joining Hsu Brothers is the best choice for you, and you will never regret it. ”
