Chapter 460: Assistant
Mao Xu's mood was a little irritable, and it had been the same for the past few days.
"What's going on with the contract for "Titan", why hasn't it been signed yet?"
"This ......"
The agent who had just come back was sweating profusely, shaking his head with a bitter face and saying, "What else can I do?" The other party thinks that our price is too high...... The price of 60 million movies is indeed a little higher, otherwise let's drop it a little? ”
"Drop a little? No way! ”
After listening to the agent's suggestion, Mao Xu's eyes suddenly widened: "This time, we have opened a real price...... 60 million, compared with the previous one, it hasn't risen a penny! “
In Mao Xu's view, if he doesn't raise the price, it will be very face-saving.
"This ......"
The corners of his mouth twitched several times, and the agent looked helpless.
In fact, he really wanted to explain to Mao Xu that because the results of "Dead in the Night 2" were not as expected, investors have complained about his high salary, after all, one person's salary has reached 60 million, and if you invite one or two more stars who can play with him, the salary will be over 100 million - for a movie, the risk is too great.
The movie circle is such a reality.
When you succeed, even if you get a salary of 100 million, people can only pinch their noses and endure it, but once you fail once, others will have a reason to dislike your salary too high......
"Damn hurricane rescue, damn Xue Ligang!"
Seeing Mao Xu's irritated look, the agent couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a plot crash but the more exciting "Hurricane Rescue", how could the results of "Dark Dead 2" be so ugly? And if there is no Xue Ligang's infinite scenery now, how can it affect Mao Xu's commercial value?
Of course......
"And, that damn white!"
After scolding Hurricane Rescue and Xue Ligang, the agent pointed the finger at Lao Bai, the screenwriter of that movie.
Now that the dust has settled on both movies, even "Mission Impossible" has now entered a stable period at the box office, so through the relationship between Galloping Horse Pictures and Forbidden City Pictures, he has learned some news - when people signed the contract with Lao Bai, there was a requirement for the release time!
So after gritting his teeth, the agent asked in a condensed voice: "Mao Xu, do you know that old white?" “
When Mao Xu and Sun Peng met at the airport and the premiere of "Dead in the Night 2", Mao Xu was surrounded by two assistants, a man and a woman, and the agent was not present, so he didn't know their relationship.
"Old white?"
After hearing this name, Mao Xu's face suddenly became more and more gloomy, and he nodded: "I've seen two sides, but I'm not very familiar...... What's wrong? Why did you suddenly mention him? “
Subconsciously, Mao Xu suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"It's fine, it's just a little weird."
Taking a deep breath, the agent told Mao Xu about the news he had heard, and then said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I once thought that Lao Bai had a grudge against your movie!" "Hurricane Rescue" and "Mission Impossible" are both scripts written by him, and "Dead by Night 2" will be sandwiched by you one after the other, or else ......"
“……”
After smiling reluctantly, Mao Xu, who lowered his head, did not speak.
However, if the agent can see Mao Xu's expression at this time, he will find that although his eyes are blank at the moment, his cheeks twitch one after another, and his originally handsome face has become extremely ugly by the way......
……
"Tsk, why haven't you come yet?"
Frequently looking at the time on his mobile phone, Sun Peng was a little restless.
"It's only 8:50, and there's still ten minutes left!"
Glancing at Sun Peng, Zheng Jia took his hand and pressed Sun Peng on the sofa with a little force: "At nine o'clock as scheduled, Miss Chen will definitely not come too early...... Wait patiently! Isn't it just a picture book, as for being in such a hurry? ”
Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng said angrily: "I'm not worried about picture books...... It's in a hurry to do the later stage of "Dragon Gate Inn"! It's all this time, I'm afraid everyone is in a hurry! ”
"Huh? Aren't you resting today? ”
Hearing Sun Peng say this, Zheng Jia suddenly asked with some surprise.
“…… Rest? ”
Hearing this, Sun Peng was dumbfounded!
Damn, no!
Looking at Sun Peng's bewildered look, where did Zheng Jia still not understand what was going on? So he tapped Sun Peng's forehead with his finger, and said with a smile: "You, your days are all confused, and you don't even know when you will rest...... What's going on your mind every day? ”
"Uh...... What is it? ”
took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Zheng Jia's eyes, Sun Peng said helplessly: "Look, this is my work in the second half of the year, I accidentally found so many things for myself, and ...... Either one seems to be very important, so you can't ignore it! ”
“…… I'll take a look first! ”
The two eyes stayed on the piece of paper, and Zheng Jia's brows quickly furrowed.
"Dragon Gate Inn" will be produced before the end of September.
A martial arts, to be published by the end of December.
Assist Wei Xiaolin in the preparation of the TV series "Detective Di Renjie", mainly to continue to revise the script......
After reading these planned things, Zheng Jia couldn't help but exclaim: "My God, how many things do you have on you now?" Are you done? ”
Looking at his boyfriend, Zheng Jia is like looking at a monster!
That's right, she knows how much Sun Peng has now, in addition to doing the later stage of "Dragon Gate Inn" every day, she has to take at least two days a month to meet with her senior brother Di Xia, discuss the plot of the next volume of "Slam Dunk" on the first day of the month, and accept the drawn things on the first day at the end of the month; In addition, I have to communicate with Lotus Pictures, Japan and the United States from time to time to deal with the problems that arose during the production of "Bourne's Identity" and the two cartoons......
Things are piled up, are you done?
"Hehe, it's definitely no problem to finish it, but it's more troublesome to coordinate."
Scratching his head, Sun Peng also said helplessly.
The later stage of "Dragon Gate Inn" is actually not very complicated, Sun Peng is just not very skilled, and he needs to practice while making it. As for writing a martial arts...... How hard can it be to just type the keyboard every night? Even the script of the so-called new movie, in fact, Sun Peng has already chosen the target, and the rest is to pick it out first and then find someone to discuss whether it needs to be revised.
The problem now is that it's easy to mess up when there are too many things.
"After all, I'm too greedy!"
Thinking about it, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh.
For his first movie "Dragon Gate Inn", he planned too many things. First of all, a martial arts more than a year later attracts attention, and in addition to taking back the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, it can also rekindle the good memories of readers; As for "Detective Di Renjie", it is natural for the audience to have an understanding of the novel action design - after all, Yuan Fang's kung fu is still very high, and it is not uncommon to see shots flying around.
In short, these things have only one purpose, to arouse their interest in "Dragon Gate Inn"!
Zheng Jia also empathized with Sun Peng's distress, and quickly patted him on the shoulder sympathetically and smiled: "I think, what you need most now is not to work, but to find an assistant...... It's not an agent like Sister Ya who helps you deal with big things, but an assistant who helps you arrange your itinerary and deal with trivial matters! Look at the celebrities of others, there are not one or two? ”
"That's right!"
Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and Sun Peng slapped his thigh and said.
Then as Sun Peng moved his mind and fixed his eyes on his girlfriend's face, Zheng Jia suddenly panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't have any interest in being your assistant...... Don't use your brain, even if you're looking for an assistant, you have to find a man, understand? ”
"Hey, looking for a man? Then there must be a suitable one! ”
Squeezing his eyes at Zheng Jia, Sun Peng said with a smile.
Seeing Sun Peng's ghostly appearance, Zheng Jia was suddenly furious, grabbed the soft flesh between his ribs, and said angrily: "What is suitable or inappropriate?" You've got to find a male assistant anyway, or ......."
"Ding-dong......"
"Ouch, people are coming, people are coming, let go!"
At the critical moment, the doorbell rang, Sun Peng ran outside to open the door, and then smiled at Chen Ruoyi with a bright face: "Quick, please come in, it's just the right time!" “
