Chapter 274: Celebration Banquet
The place to eat was chosen in a rather luxurious restaurant in Rongcheng, although the location was very solemn, but when Mu Yuan and the others walked into the hotel, they were like thieves, especially the crayfish, all wrapped into an Arab woman, but this dress and the white cat in her arms attracted the attention of many people, making the crayfish very nervous.
"Alright, let's put down the scarf and everything!" Makihara smiled and said, "This is a luxury hotel, the security system is very strict, no one will break in to take pictures and ask for autographs!" ”
Mu Yuan smiled casually, but he was still taken aback after being brought in by the waiter, what kind of private room is this, it is clearly a banquet hall, there are seven or eight tables in it, and he thought that he accidentally broke into someone else's wedding banquet. Except for the two tables inside, the rest of the tables were already full of people, old and young, men and women, and all of them were black and pressed by human heads.
"What is this?" Makihara turned his head to look at the crayfish, but the other party's only exposed eyes were also full of confusion.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on?" Crayfish asked.
"I heard that you are coming back, and the family is going to rush over, saying that it is a celebration party for you!" Xiao Jianbo explained, "Now that everyone is here, I would like to express my gratitude to Muyuan and others!" ”
Only then did Mu Yuan understand that these people were all close relatives of crayfish, and they were all uncles, aunts, aunts and aunts, etc., but looking at this number, it is estimated that the crayfish's family is also a big family.
"No problem!" The crayfish ripped off the scarf, full of substitution, and really regarded this place as a wedding banquet, "Just don't forget to follow it!" ”
Mu Yuan and the others were let into the first seat, Xiao Jianbo made a simple introduction, and the dinner began. Although the dishes are very rich, the people of Muyuan are not blessed to taste, six or seven tables of people come up to toast, the chopsticks have not had time to move before they drink enough, if it is not for the three elders to come out to help block the wine, Muyuan would have already gone under the table. Looking at these two tables, Niwa eats the most deliciously, firstly, no one pours it wine, and secondly, there are a few children in this dinner, all desperately giving it vegetables, what is delicious. To say that Niwa is also very bitter, since he just ran away, he was chased and killed by the cat-faced old woman, and he was hungry and full, and today he has completely opened the meat, and he is still protecting the food when he can't eat it.
"Master, if you can't drink it, don't drink it!" The crayfish finally began to have a conscience found.
"Crayfish, go, go on stage!" Long Ling'er said.
"What are you on?"
"Anyway, just go out and hang around twice, attract firepower, or someone will come over to toast!"
Long Ling'er's method was really effective, and after the crayfish ran out, it really attracted all the attention, and the pressure on Mu Yuan and the three elders suddenly decreased. Muyuan took the opportunity to run to the toilet, and as soon as he came back and sat down, a well-dressed young man came over. This person is nearly thirty years old, very handsome, with a partial hairstyle, a suit and leather shoes, although he looks like a good temperament, but Mu Yuan always feels that his dress is pretended.
"Brother, I drank a lot today, it's okay!" The young man patted Mu Yuan on the shoulder and handed over a cigarette.
"Thanks, I won't!" Mu Yuan waved his hand and refused directly, "You are?" ”
"I'm Xia Xia's cousin-in-law, Meng Jian!" The young man introduced himself, "Since Xia Xia entered the audition, our whole family has begun to pay attention to Xia Xia, but fortunately, there are brothers with you, so that my cousin can successfully achieve the first place in the competition!" ”
"Hehe, I'm just a guide, I didn't do anything!" Makihara said modestly, "Xia Xia's ability is very good, in addition to the strong support of her team behind the scenes!" ”
"Brother, you are so humble!" Meng Jian took a puff of cigarette, flicked off the ash of the cigarette in a chic manner, and asked with a smile: "I heard my uncle say that you have the final say in Xia Xia's contract?" ”
Mu Yuan glanced at Meng Jian, thinking that this person really came over to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it turned out that he had this thought.
"How can this kind of thing be Mu Yuan's final say!" Xia Xue took over the conversation, and she also saw the other party's intentions, "It's the brokerage company that has the final say!" ”
"Brokerage?" Meng Jian was stunned, "Xia Xia signed a contract?" ”
"That's right, I signed the contract on the night of the final, doesn't Brother Meng know?" Makihara asked with a smile.
Meng Jian was a little embarrassed, pretended to be calm and took another puff of cigarette before saying, "I asked before the semi-finals, and I didn't hear my aunt mention it later!" ”
"Oh, that's no wonder, maybe it's uncles and aunts who have been busy lately!" Makihara said, by the way, he blocked the other party's attempt, "I signed it on the day of the finals, and I signed it with several team members, and my uncle and aunt were present at the time, and they were very satisfied with the terms of the signing!" ”
"What is Xia Xia's cousin's worth?" Meng Jian asked unrelentingly.
"I don't know about this, it's not low anyway!" Makihara said, "Xia Xia signed a sharing contract, and according to the commission of commercial performance income, the proportion is still very high!" ”
"How's that going to work!" Meng Jian said indignantly, "Cousin Xia Xia, isn't this a loss!" I know the inside story of commercial performances, what publicity costs, labor costs, venue fees, these are all boring, as long as the brokerage company does a little tricks, my cousin may not get a penny, and she is busy in vain! ”
"Impossible!" Xia Xue said, "Xia Xia signed a regular large company, and it has just signed a lot of superstars at the king and queen level, if the reputation of this company is not good, how can those superstars join!" ”
"People are big stars, of course the brokerage company doesn't dare to do anything!" Meng Jian said, "That's it, anyway, it's only been a few days since the signing of the contract, and the cooperation hasn't started yet, so I'll persuade my cousin to terminate the contract directly, so as not to suffer losses in the future!" ”
"Termination? So what did Xia Xia do after the termination? Who will pay the compensation for the termination? Mu asked confusedly.
"How much compensation can I have, Xia Xia is red and purple now, and I still care about this money!" Meng Jian patted his chest, "As long as I go and help her pull a few commercial performances, the money won't roll in!" ”
"Brother Meng is also an insider?"
"Sort of!" Meng Jian smiled, "I have been in the film and television city all the year round, and I have known a lot of big stars and directors." Yesterday, there was also a big domestic director who listened to my relationship with Xia Xia's cousin, and sincerely asked me to invite her to star, what TV series, movies, advertising endorsements, are definitely big dramas, big brands, and directly play the female number one! Cousin Xia Xia is now famous, so she should show her face more while she is young and make more money, otherwise once she is out of breath, the gains outweigh the losses! ”
"Acting?" Mu Yuan shook his head, "Xia Xia is a magician, and she is not suitable for acting in any TV series or movies!" ”
"Brother, it's not my posture as an elder brother, but you're really a little too brainless!" Meng Jian hated it a little, "Look at those big stars, what singing, writing, and talking about cross talk, once they become famous, who else sticks to their old business, don't they all go to make movies!" It doesn't matter if your acting skills are good or not, as long as you show your face, appear on camera for two minutes, and say three lines, you can earn more than those second-rate actors! What is this called, this is called profit maximization, isn't it much better than sticking to the stage and trying to perform magic with an empty head? ”
"But Xia Xia still has to go to college, and the brokerage company promises to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to train Xia Xia during this time!" Makihara said, "If Xia Xia is busy performing every day, how can she learn and grow? ”
"Hey, what's the hurry to study, there will be time in the future!" Meng Jian said, "Besides, what is the purpose of going to school, isn't it just for a degree!" As long as you have money, what can't you buy? Not to mention an undergraduate degree, it is a master's degree or a doctoral degree, and you can have as many as you want! Look at those celebrities, even if they dropped out of school that year, they still go back to their alma mater to give speeches, and they are awarded honorary professors, honorary deans and other titles! ”
Seeing that the other party was talking more and more, Mu Yuan didn't want to save face for Meng Jian, so he ended the conversation directly.
"Brother Meng, let me tell you the truth, Xia Xia can't leave school yet, her future development will be planned by me and the brokerage company, of course, this is also Xia Xia's original intention, which is approved by Xia Xia and her parents!" Mu Yuan said, "In recent years, Xia Xia will not hold large-scale commercial performances except for participating in some public welfare performances!" Also, Xia Xia already has endorsement products, as for whether to endorse other products, this must also be agreed by the brokerage company, Xia Xia and me, which is clearly stipulated in the terms of the contract! ”
Meng Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little embarrassed and angry, but he still held back, and even showed a smile.
"Oh, I see, I don't understand the situation! I'm just planning for my cousin, if it's disrespectful, please forgive me, brother! ”
"This person is very urban!" Watching Meng Jian leave, Xia Xue said: "If he gets angry on the spot, it's not a matter of worry, but looking at the current situation, there is a chance that he will be behind his back!" ”
"Brother Muyuan, do you want me to teach him a lesson!" Long Ling'er asked with a grin.
"Watch the occasion!" Makihara shook his head, "Besides, he hasn't acted yet!" When he makes a move, it's never too late to teach a lesson! ”
"I see that your murderous aura is getting heavier!" Xia Xue frowned and said, "Especially after coming out of Zhaojia Village, I have become extremely aggressive!" ”
"Is there one?" Mu Yuan was taken aback, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really as Xia Xue said, from dealing with Jinghe to eliminating the cat-faced old lady, his murderous aura is indeed getting stronger and stronger.
"That's what a man!" Long Ling'er said with a grin.
"Hmph, I'm just worried that after he has the courage of a thief, he will have to do even more nonsense!" Xia Xue said angrily.
