Chapter 153: Invitation

Director Cao is in a terrible mood today.

Halfway through the filming, something suddenly happened and I had to stop.

Just because the leading actor suddenly had a brain twitch, he temporarily increased his salary.

Good guy, this made Director Cao angry, so he almost slapped him to death.

This time, in this new movie, Director Cao is full of confidence, at the beginning, he had his own considerations for each role, one of which was Nan Er, and he even left it to Xu Lang.

It's just that Xu Lang doesn't know how to cherish it, and it is too much to go to Manchester City. 、

But this doesn't affect, it's just a second male role, and if you change it, you will change it.

The starring role is the popular little fresh meat Zhang Xiao, in fact, his acting skills are also very good, fame and strength are combined, he still cherishes such an actor.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he gave Zhang Xiao an increase in the originally scheduled salary, which belongs to some additional privileges for him as a director.

Zhang Xiao also happily agreed, but unexpectedly, after only a few days of filming, things changed. 、

The advertisements on the Internet were all out, but Zhang Xiao suddenly wanted to increase his salary.

The contract itself has been signed, and if the salary is increased at this time, Zhang Xiao is actually in breach of contract, but the other party directly insisted that the salary must be increased.

Director Cao also knows why, because a reality show that Zhang Xiao participated in in the past few days has become popular all over the Internet, and all of a sudden, Zhang Xiao, who is very famous herself, directly became popular out of the circle.

That's why there will be such changes.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, this contract basically has no impact on Zhang Xiao.

From the very beginning, Director Cao valued the other party's acting skills and popularity.

Therefore, when signing the contract, it is basically signed according to the requirements of the other party.

But this gives the other party a chance, although I don't know if this wave of operations is the other party, or the other party's brokerage company's sao operation, but I have to say that it is really powerful.

Not to mention halfway through the filming, the promotional film starring Zhang Xiao has already broken out on the Internet, at this time, if the protagonist is temporarily changed, this is definitely a taboo in the film industry.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiao is so unscrupulous.

Director Cao's anger is not about the high salary, because even if it is more, as long as he can afford it, he is still willing.

But the contract has been signed, and suddenly there is a change, and in his opinion, this is a matter of character.

This made him regret it to the extreme, but there was nothing to say.

He knew that he would change actors at this time.

will inevitably get online exposure from those Zhang Xiao fans, and then this movie will be scrapped before it is released.

Director Cao, who was in a sad mood, sat at the bar and took a sip of wine, looking at Yu in the distance, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

This thing seems simple, but it is actually really disgusting.

He wanted to terminate the contract directly, but the movie was halfway through.

All the previous investment can be regarded as a waste.

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door and entered, Director Cao put down the wine glass and turned around, looked at the visitor, and asked, "Did he really stop the show like this?" ”

The person nodded and said, "According to what he means now, I don't think he wants to increase his salary." ”

Director Cao frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Why is that?" ”

The person said: "Isn't that reality show variety show popular, and the recent recording is frequent, so I think the purpose of his salary increase is to terminate the contract, anyway, for him, there is no cost to terminate the contract, but he can find time to shoot a reality show." ”

Director Cao chuckled and said, "In this way, he has made two preparations, no matter what, he will not lose?" ”

The person nodded and said, "If the salary is raised, he gets a high income, and if the salary is not increased and the contract is terminated peacefully, he can spare more time to complete this task." ”

Director Cao knew it, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's really ridiculous, wow, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I was brushed by a young man." ”

The visitor sighed and said, "What now?" ”

"Hmph."

Director Cao snorted lightly and said, "Do you really think that in this world, he is the only good actor?" If his character is not good, his star career will almost end here. ”

Director Cao is not the kind of person who is stingy, so this sentence is a true evaluation in his heart, without the slightest prejudice, of course, there is anger.

Director Cao continued: "You go down to appease the others, the movie still has to be filmed, I will think about who to use here, as long as it is a personal shot, there is no need to shoot after the pass, only the scene of the confrontation with the protagonist, what needs to be filmed, we will reshoot it at that time." ”

The person nodded and was about to leave with the information, but at this time, Director Cao called out to the other party and said, "Remember to tell them that when the movie is finished, I will give them a red envelope." ”

The person who came turned around and left, leaving Director Cao standing there, thinking about it and not knowing how to evaluate it, anyway, he was very irritable.

He thinks about everything about the film, and of course, the story itself.

And every character in the movie, and the actors who play that role.

Then he thought about the current second male, whether it could be upgraded to the first male.

Director Cao's main selection condition for selecting actors is still acting skills.

Zhang Xiao's acting skills are passable, and his popularity is not bad, so he will be designated as the male lead.

There are not many roles in the role of the second male, but it also tests his acting skills.

Therefore, he would consider Xu Lang at that time.

Later, I changed to a different person, and my acting skills were good, but it was still a little bit less interesting to be the first male, and the second male shot was basically about to be completed.

For a moment, he was extremely entangled.

At this time, if you let the second male be the first male, on the one hand, it will appear that you maliciously sent Zhang Xiao, especially if it is exposed on the Internet, then it is really unclear.

On the other hand, his own idea of the second male is to carry out a little exercise, and now he is directly promoted to the level of the first male one, which is actually a bit of a sprout.

He thought about it, but he didn't know who to use to play this role, and even found a lot of people, as long as it was in line with this role, he considered it.

There are actually many suitable for this role in the entertainment industry, but most of the schedules can't be arranged.

The schedule is open, and it may not be suitable for this role. 、

I don't know why, he suddenly remembered Xu Lang again, and for a while, he seemed to think of the shot taken that day in the depths of his mind.

After thinking about it, he felt that he could give it a try, so he called Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, who received the call, was actually a little apprehensive.

It's like a student who makes a mistake when he faces a teacher, and he is anxious.

Because Director Cao is a very respectable director in his heart, but the last time Director Cao invited him, he actually refused.

Although I did have a reason to refuse at that time, I didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, Director Cao's phone called, and he quickly answered it nervously.

"I said, Xiao Xu, you should go back to China now."

Director Cao's voice was slow and gentle, and Xu Lang hurriedly said, "Director Cao, I'm back, I'm back." ”

Director Cao said on the phone: "You kid, you agreed to come to participate in my movie, but you went to Manchester City, and now you don't know how to call me when you come back." ”

Xu Lang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not that there have been a lot of things recently, so I haven't taken care of it, and I'm done with it, and I thank you for coming to the door." ”

Director Cao was not angry, after all, he was not very familiar, but he just felt that Xu Lang was a piece of jade, carved and carved, and the future was limitless, so he said: "Just visit the door, since I am back, I am still missing one role in this movie, do you want to come?" ”

When Director Cao spoke, he deliberately left a hand.

He didn't say anything about the role, nor did he say how many scenes he played, but simply asked Xu Lang if he wanted to come.

Xu Lang rejected the second male last time, and at this moment, when he heard Director Cao's invitation again, he was slightly excited.

Although he felt that he should not be able to be the second male this time, because he knew that the second male had already been filmed, and his acting skills were not bad.

However, since Director Cao is willing to give himself another chance, he must seriously accept this opportunity.

So he hurriedly said: "I'm fine, no matter what role you have." ”

Hearing Xu Lang's words, Director Cao's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Zhang Xiao's sudden rudeness, at this moment, he actually had a sense of relief.

After meeting Xu Langyue for the interview, Director Cao called his assistant and said directly: "Since Zhang Xiao thinks the salary is low, forget it, let's change people." ”

The assistant said with some concern: "Does this matter have to be discussed in the long run, after all, Zhang Xiao has become the starring role in our advertising at this time." ”

Director Cao said: "All the advertisements invested in it have been withdrawn, and it should be much better when the country is promoted after a period of time, since he doesn't want to act, then don't act." ”

The assistant knew that he couldn't say anything, so he didn't bother to say this, but said calmly: "No problem, then I'll arrange it like this, so if Zhang Xiao doesn't participate, who will come?" ”

Director Cao said: "You will know when the time comes." ”

Director Cao directly hid this secret, and he didn't tell anyone.

After hanging up the phone, his mood became better and better.

Zhang Xiao shouted that she wanted to increase her salary, but Xu Lang didn't even mention it, she didn't care at all, the feeling and the big gap between the two were really shocking.

He remembered the role that Xu Lang played in "Scorching Sun Heartburn", which was simply vivid, which made him more and more confident that Xu Lang would play the leading role in this new movie.

......

On the other hand, after Xu Lang hung up Director Cao's phone, he took this matter to heart, and he definitely couldn't have a situation like the last time.

He looked at the time and called Zhang Wei.

After briefly communicating with Zhang Wei, Xu Lang found that Zhang Wei could not come at all the next day, which made him understand that he was the only one who went to the school, but he was not a lawyer, and he couldn't go directly to some things.

But fortunately, Zhang Wei has great powers, and he shook a lawyer from Hengcheng and came to help Xu Lang.

Xu Lang doesn't care about this, as long as there are people.

On that day, the Hengcheng People's Court, it seems, is for learning, and it may also be a tribute.

In order to better and more rationally pronounce the verdict and trial, the Hengcheng People's Court gave a general explanation of the case to be carried out the next day, and at the same time gave a certain explanation of the particularity of this case.

What's more important is that this time, today's law popularization column in the magic capital actually came to reporters and photographers to shoot and broadcast the whole process.

At the beginning, Xu Lang really didn't expect that today's law popularization column would come to Hengcheng, and he didn't care about it, but suddenly thought that today's law popularization column is not a product of the magic capital, but a nationwide program, I don't know how many people like today's law popularization column, the truth of those cases told, and legal knowledge.

Therefore, even when Xu Lang listened to them live broadcast the whole process, he only smiled slightly and acquiesced.

So, the Internet exploded again.

This time, the sudden madness on the Internet is not only because a case in the Hengcheng People's Court is about to be broadcast live by today's law popularization column.

And what is even more eye-catching is that in this case, I saw that familiar person again.

Xu Lang, he appeared on the jury again this time.

In the past few times, as long as it involves today's law popularization column, for the live broadcast of the court, Xu Lang's name will appear on the jury, or the plaintiff's position.

At first, many people didn't pay much attention to it.

In particular, when Xu Lang first appeared, it was the dog that bit people, and that time, Xu Lang went to the court as a plaintiff, although he was still one of the plaintiffs, but he did go.

At the time of the live broadcast, where.

Later, Xu Lang appeared at the scene of several consecutive cases several times in a row.

This first made countless people who paid attention to legal issues very curious about why Xu Lang had him everywhere, and of course, one more important thing was that every case that Xuan encountered seemed to be very representative.

Take this case as an example, a simple marriage fraud actually involves a huge amount of fraud and theft.

And conversely, look at the case separately.

Although there is no crime of marriage fraud in the law, marriage fraud is not uncommon.

And petty theft is even more numerous.

But when these two things come together and then become a special case of fraud, it's very interesting.

So, when the court opened the next day, I don't know how many people came to the live broadcast room of today's law popularization column.

And many people also came to the scene to participate in the trial process of the whole case.

Among them, of course, includes Xu Lang, as well as Wang Qichuang, Wang Qilong, and their parents.

Of course, Zhang Erwang and his father Zhang Tieniu also came to the scene.

At the same time, according to the investigation, three other families were also deceived by the third aunt's gang.

Today, they all came to the scene, waiting for the third aunt and others to be brought up one by one.

Xu Lang and the lawyer came to the court, and after a brief introduction according to the process, they walked into the courtroom in advance.

Xu Lang looked around and saw many people, some he knew and some he didn't know, but everyone had a look of expectation on their faces, so they didn't know what it meant.

Xu Lang sat down casually and didn't think too much.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him, and said very softly: "Mr. Xu Lang, long time no see." ”

The voice was weak, Xu Lang didn't take it seriously, but he still glanced at it curiously.

As a result, the voice was even harder, Xu Lang looked forward, and finally saw a girl in black professional clothes, it was a mixed-race girl, feeling Xu Lang's breath at this time, and wanted to come over, but there were a lot of people.

Finally, the girl came to Xu Lang, took care of her hair casually, and then looked at Xu Lang and said, "Xu Lang Xiansen, long time no see." ”

Xu Lang could still hear the greeting again.

What's more, the girl in front of him, he knew, wasn't it the mixed-race female reporter he let in the last time he hijacked the outpatient department of the hospital in Manchester City.

At this time, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "An Qi, long time no see, aren't you in Manchester City?" How did you come to China, and .....",

Xu Lang looked at the clothes on An Qi's body, as well as the way he was dressed, and continued to ask: "Also, how did you get into today's law popularization column group." ”

An Qi didn't say it, because he happened to see Xu Lang appear more than once in the footage of today's law popularization column group in those days, which made him look forward to seeing Xu Lang again.

It is precisely for this reason that she went back to the interview of today's law popularization column group.

Of course, her excellent personal ability and diploma will allow her to pass the interview so smoothly.

There are some reasons, An Qi didn't say.

She just looked at me and said, "Because of that incident, I had to resign, and after I left, I wanted to return to China for development." ”

Xu Lang asked with interest, "Then how did you come up with the idea of coming to Hengcheng?" ”

An Qi didn't lie, she said: "Company task, besides, this time your case, today's law popularization will be broadcast live again, and it will be my audition." ”

As soon as Xu Lang heard it, he understood.

The two briefly communicated a few more words and then dispersed.

An Qi needs to get into the state quickly, and Xu Lang also needs to carefully sort out the evidence that he handed over before.

The two of them rested separately, and An Qi was extremely excited.

She finally saw the person she had been thinking about for a long time, looking at Xu Lang's back from afar, her mood suddenly became restless.

Then she suddenly calmed down, she took a deep breath, and was ready to start the live broadcast.

Although she came to China to start working as a reporter, her excellent personal ability allows her to adjust to the calmest state at any time.

Xu Lang didn't care about this, and soon, just when reporter An Qi began to introduce the situation of today's arrival and the key information of the case.

The presiding judge struck the hammer, which meant that the trial of the case had officially begun.

Without the slightest hint of togne and water, as soon as he came up, he directly let the fraud suspect Fang Xia come to the scene, and the two bailiffs pressed each other, walked to the defendant's dock and pushed in.

The moment Fang Xia appeared, several eyes on the scene looked at each other neatly, especially Wang Qilong and Zhang Erwang's blazing eyes.

Wang Qilong is because Fang Xia has his own child in his arms.

Zhang Erwang is because, almost, Fang Xia entered the cave room with him.
