From being a host on Phoenix Channel, to starring in a TV series and two best-selling movies, Zhou Xingchi has saved more than 300,000 savings. But now Zhou Xingchi's family still lives in the old house, and he plans to save another year to buy a house, and by the way, buy himself a car.

Zhou Xingchi's personality is relatively withdrawn, he can speak well when he is a host, and he is silent as soon as he gets out of work, and he has made two friends, Mao Xianyun and Wu Mengda, in the past few years.

If it weren't for Wu Mengda pulling him out to play cards today, Zhou Xingchi would definitely stay at home and watch TV alone, he felt that he was not familiar with Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, so he really had nothing to communicate with.

After playing cards for a few hours, seeing that it was getting dark, Anita Mui left a few of them to eat at home, but Zhou Xingchi insisted on going back.

Wu Mengda had no choice but to drive Zhou Xingchi home, tomorrow is the New Year, and it is not easy to take a taxi at this time.

Zhou Xingchi's family only has his mother, an older sister, and a younger sister, as for his father, his parents divorced after Zhou Xingchi said a word when he was a child. At that time, Zhou Xingchi said to his mother: "I saw my father holding a woman in the cinema......"

"Ah Xing, there is a gentleman looking for you, he has been waiting at home for a long time." As soon as Zhou Xingchi came home, he listened to his mother Ling Bao.

Zhou Xingchi was a little headache by the reporter during this time, and said in a low voice: "Mom, why do you let people come to the house indiscriminately?" ”

Ling Bao helped Zhou Xingchi come out with slippers, pointed to the living room and said, "It's someone from Golden Harvest Pictures, it seems to be a big shot." ”

What do the people of Golden Harvest come to do?

Zhou Xingchi didn't think that Jiahe was here to dig people, because the liquidated damages for digging him were too high, and even Zhou Xingchi felt that he was not worth the price.

Cai Yongchang was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and from time to time he told some stories about the film industry to Zhou Xingchi's sister, as for Zhou Xingchi's sister, she was already married.

Seeing Zhou Xingchi coming in, Cai Yongchang stood up and shook hands with Zhou Xingchi and said, "Mr. Zhou." I'm sorry to take the liberty of bothering. ”

"You are?" Zhou Xingchi didn't know which character Cai Yongchang was.

"Contemptible Jiahe Cai Yongchang." Cai Yongchang handed him a business card.

Zhou Xingchi took the business card and looked at it, then put it in his pocket casually, and asked, "Is there anything Mr. Cai looking for me?" ”

Cai Yongchang said with a smile: "That's the case, our chairman admires your talent very much, Mr. Zhou, so let me come to visit." ”

Most withdrawn people are more sensitive, Zhou Xingchi is like this, he never played with his friends when he was a child, he stood alone behind the iron window and watched the pedestrians on the street, and then thought crankily in his heart.

Cai Yongchang only mentioned it slightly. Zhou Xingchi heard that the other party was trying to recruit him, and said in surprise: "Mr. Cai, my contract is still more than nine years. ”

"Liquidated damages are not a problem, we will naturally find a way," Cai Yongchang directly took out a check. said, "As long as Mr. Zhou comes to Golden Harvest for development." The 3 million is yours. Let's be honest. Since DreamWorks was banned, actors like Zhou Xingchi have little future if they stay there, because no one will ask you to make a movie except DreamWorks. Just taking it with you at DreamWorks, how many films can you make in a year? At most, two films will be in the sky, and DreamWorks' resources will have to be reserved for other actors. This is very detrimental to your development......"

Cai Yongchang's eloquence is indeed good, but he relied on money to dig Cheng Long back then. Cheng Long was just an actor who had never seen the world at the time, and he fainted directly with a string of zero checks, and he didn't count how much it was for half a day. (At that time, Cheng Long only got 1 million.) The rest was taken by Luo Wei as ransom money)

Zhou Xingchi was also a little dizzy when he saw the string of zeros on the check now, his hands began to tremble, and there was an impulse to induce him to take the check down.

3 million, what mansions, luxury cars.

Calm down, be sure to be calm!

Zhou Xingchi took a few deep breaths, swallowed his saliva and glanced at the check again, and forced himself to ask impulsively: "Mr. Cai, I'm not as good as before, why would you find me?" ”

"Ha Luha, Mr. Zhou still underestimates himself," Cai Yongchang said with a smile, "There are not many movies in Hong Kong that have a box office of more than 30 million, and judging from the current situation of "The Saint of Gambling", the box office will definitely exceed 30 million." It's a shame for an actor like you to stay in DreamWorks and be banned, if you come to Golden Harvest, you will earn at least twice as much money as DreamWorks every year. ”

Zhou Xingchi must be grateful to Kang Jianfei, it was Kang Jianfei who promoted him all the way to be a host and a TV drama actor, and now he has finally become a movie star. But apart from gratitude, Zhou Xingchi has no loyalty to Kang Jianfei and DreamWorks, and 3 million is enough to touch his heart.

Carefully weighing the good and bad, Zhou Xingchi's mind became more and more chaotic the more he thought about it, while Cai Yongchang encouraged him to change jobs from time to time.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xingchi, who felt that his mouth was dry, took a sip of water and said hesitantly: "This, you guys talk to DreamWorks first, and see if they let people go over there." ”

Zhou Xingchi signed a brokerage contract with Oriental Entertainment Company, and compared with later generations, many of the contents of this brokerage contract are actually equivalent to overlord clauses. Within ten years, Oriental Entertainment Company was responsible for packaging and promoting Zhou Xingchi, and Zhou Xingchi's desire to make movies, release records, and receive notices was all handled by Oriental Entertainment Company, and Zhou Xingchi was not allowed to privately accept any advertising, movies, and record contracts.

This is the brokerage contract of the young actor, who loves to sign or not, and there are countless people waiting to sign this kind of deed of sale. As for artists like Alan Tam and Zheng Shaoqiu, who are already famous, their brokerage contracts are much freer, so they are so chic when they terminate their contracts.

In addition to the brokerage contract, Chow also signed a ten-year film contract with DreamWorks, and the rights and obligations of both parties are that Chow makes at least one movie at DreamWorks every year. There are also pitfalls in this contract, as the final interpretation is up to DreamWorks. If Zhou Xingchi has no box office value, then DreamWorks will be considered to have fulfilled its obligation to let him play a supporting role, and if Zhou Xingchi becomes popular, then Zhou Xingchi must be the protagonist to make a film for DreamWorks.

Anyway, all kinds of dirt and blackness in the contract are all made up by the lawyers of the legal department of DreamWorks, and the young actor does not have any right to raise objections when signing the contract, you can only choose to sign it or not.

Zhou Xingchi was trapped by two overlord contracts with a nine-year term left, and if he wanted to jump to any company, his liquidated damages would add up to more than 10 million, which was definitely a sky-high price.

I have to say that Kang Jianfei's heart is still very dark. He can't control the fact that he has already become famous, and if he wants to betray the stars he has cultivated, he will definitely have to pay the corresponding price.

Not to mention Zhou Xingchi, even Wen Bixuan's current contract is this, because it has not been changed since it was signed.

Cai Yongchang saw that Zhou Xingchi was moved by what he said, and continued to persuade: "Mr. Zhou, if you want to terminate the contract with DreamWorks, you must agree to this first, and we can arrange for the lawyer to do the rest of the work." If you don't trust us, you can accept this check first. ”

Zhou Xingchi's personality was very cautious, and in the end he resisted the temptation of a huge sum of 3 million, and smiled very reluctantly: "Mr. Cai, let me think about this matter first." ”

Cai Yongchang smiled: "Of course, before the Spring Festival holiday is over, Mr. Zhou has a lot of time to think carefully. ”

After Cai Yongchang left, Zhou Xingchi walked around the room in an anxious mood, and Zhou's mother didn't respond at all when he called him to eat.

After being anxious for more than three hours, Zhou Xingchi dialed Wu Mengda's phone.

"Hey, who's so late?"

"Da Ge, it's me, Ah Xing."

"What's the matter? It's a little early to greet the New Year, so let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Da Ge, I have something I want to ask you."

"Be polite to me, and have something to say."

"If, I mean, somebody comes to poach me with 3 million, what do you think I'm going to do?"

"Whoever is crazy to dig you, more than 10 million for two contracts."

"I mean if."

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, and then Wu Mengda's voice came: "Is someone really poaching you?" Golden Harvest or New Art City? ”

"Alas, don't ask so much, do you think I should go?" Zhou Xingchi said irritably.

"The Saint of Gambling" also made Wu Mengda popular, he felt that it was suitable for him to play with Zhou Xingchi, but he didn't want to lose a good partner, so he naturally had to work hard to keep it, and said: "You have a sick brain, DreamWorks just made you popular and jumped ship, will Mr. Kang release you?" ”

Zhou Xingchi said: "If I have to leave, Mr. Kang has no choice, and someone will help me pay liquidated damages when I go to court." ”

"Mr. Kang will sue you in court? Just ask someone to hack you to death! Wu Mengda began to threaten, "He praised you in two movies in a row, where will you put his face when you leave?" Mr. Kang has money, and he doesn't care about your more than 10 million liquidated damages, but he will treat you as a backbone boy for the rest of his life. If you leave at this time, you will be looked down upon by any company you go to. ”

Zhou Xingchi said: "I live my own life, and I don't need anyone to look up to it." ”

Wu Mengda said with a smile: "If you go to Golden Harvest or New Art City, I am 100% sure that if Mr. Kang does not find someone to hack you to death, he will use all means to make your reputation stink." As long as you can bear it, you can change jobs. ”

Zhou Xingchi seemed to be really frightened, holding the microphone for a long time and not speaking.

Wu Mengda continued: "Besides, if you go to another company, which director can tailor a nonsensical comedy for you like Mr. Kang? Don't take the success of "The Saint of Gambling" as your own credit. Think about it, I'll hang up first. ”

Zhou Xingchi was even more confused when he held the phone, and he didn't know what to do.

And Wu Mengda's side quickly dialed Zeng Bolin's phone and said, "Assistant Zeng, someone wants to dig up Ah Xing...... Yes, I don't know which company it is. Ah Xing was a little moved, but he hadn't made up his mind yet. Well, I'll hold him steady, don't worry......" (To be continued......)
