Chapter 15: I'm Willing to Sign a Contract (Favorites, Recommendations, and Follow-ups)
Zou Yun-fat and Dillon, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other.
They don't know each other well.
For the rest of the people sitting in the room, etc., it is even less familiar.
They are sitting in a new office called Yan Huang Film Company.
There was also a smell of paint in the air.
The speed of Arscht's work is indeed very fast.
It only took one day to register.
The decoration was simpler, and I rented the old office of a bankrupt film company, spent two days, simply painted it, and bought new furniture.
A new film company was born.
This is the speed of Xiangjiang in the 80s, from the establishment of the company to the filming to the release, sometimes it only takes ten days to complete!
Wang Jin's feat of filming a movie in seven days back then, the film company twenty years later, can't even think of it!
A newly hired female administrative secretary brought a few cups of instant coffee into the conference room and put them in front of everyone.
Dillon picked up his coffee and drank it down.
He is a man with a very serious attitude towards life, he only marries one wife in his life, and when he is sixty or seventy years old, he still carries his wife's photo with him.
Before the age of forty, he also only worked for one film company, Shaoshi!
But it's a pity that his loyalty didn't get a good result, and the Shao clan swept him, an old minister, out of the house directly, and the severance pay was only a few thousand yuan!
Not even enough for a month's living expenses!
He also has to raise a large family.
Therefore, after receiving the film contract and script of Yanhuang Movie, he did not hesitate, and did not even ask for the salary, so he went directly to the door.
It's better to have a job than to sit and eat!
Chow Yun-fat is different, he didn't drink coffee, but while reading the script, he observed Zhang Guorong, Liang Jiahui, and a young man he didn't know.
Although he is box office poison, he is limited to the movie box office.
In the TV drama industry, that is, on the small screen, he is still the undisputed king.
A "Shanghai Tang", a Xu Wenqiang, represents the youth of countless people.
This role alone is enough to make him eat for a lifetime.
Therefore, it is different from the desperate Dillon.
He was invited to Yanhuang Movie, but he actually came to see it, and he didn't have much interest.
After all, since he almost collapsed the cooperative film industry, no film company in Xiangjiang wants to use him.
Finally, a big boss came out.
What if it's a good opportunity?
Zou Yun-fat, who was born in poverty, will never give up any opportunity.
When he was not famous in TVB, he would stay at the elevator entrance every day, just to say hello to the senior management and let the other party leave an impression on him.
Liang Jiahui was also observing the people in the conference room.
He had already signed a long-term contract with Yan Huang yesterday, for twenty years!
Sold himself directly to Yan Huang.
Jiang Jiannian, who accompanied him to sign the contract, was also a little speechless about his decision.
"Li Shengren is good, you see, in the first two years, 20,000 yuan per month, to ensure my life, for each film, and also sign another salary, the company only takes 20% of the commission!"
"It's just a clause of conscience."
The former actor who wandered the streets and became a street vendor is already satisfied with this clause.
Especially after signing a long-term contract and a contract with the head of "The True Color of Heroes", the payment of 70,000 yuan was transferred to his bank account on the same day.
He was moved to tears.
directly took out 2,000 yuan and invited Jiang Jianian to eat a Western meal!
Then he spent another 10,000 yuan to buy a gold necklace as a birthday gift for Jiang Jiannian.
Regarding the meaning that Liang Jiahui wanted to express, Jiang Jianian was also aware of it.
But she has a boyfriend now, so she politely declined Liang Jiahui's gift.
But Liang Jiahui did not give up.
After two days of getting along, he has been deeply attracted to this woman who is one year older than him.
So much so that I couldn't extricate myself.
After coming into contact with Jiang Jiannian, the rest of the women were no longer attractive to him at all.
For a little whirlwind of love like him, it is very rare.
Liang Jiahui, who has received his heart and has a stable income, put all his thoughts into studying the script of "The True Color of Heroes".
also proposed several things that could be modified for Li Xingchen.
Today's meeting of the main creators, for the script, he is probably the one who has the most right to speak except for Li Xingchen.
"Everyone is here, so let's get started!"
Li Xingchen stood up and glanced at all kinds of people in the field, staying on Zou Yunfa's face for the longest time.
"Let me briefly introduce it first, my name is Li Xingchen, and I am Yanhuang's boss!"
"This, Mr. Zhang Guorong......"
Zhang Guorong stood up and nodded at everyone.
Among the people present, he is currently the largest coffee position, and he has a heavy influence in the music scene in the entire Southeast Asia.
"Mr. Chow Yun Fat......"
Although Zou Yunfa has not decided to sign a contract, he still gives Li Xingchen a lot of face, and stands up to say hello to everyone.
Ms. Zou Huimin...... Mr. Dillon...... Mr. Leung Ka Fai...... Mr. Zhang Shuoping...... Mr. Chen Xiaodong...... Mr. Dukewind! ”
Every time he called someone's name, they would stand up and say hello.
Some people are familiar with each other, such as Zhang Shuoping and Chen Xiaodong, Liang Jiahui and Zou Yun-fat.
But they didn't speak.
Today's protagonists are obviously Yanhuang's boss Li Xingchen, and Zhang Guorong, who has the largest coffee position.
"Please come here, for the drama "The True Color of Heroes", everyone here, some have signed a contract with my company, and some have not signed a contract yet, the script has been sent to you two days ago, if you have any questions, you can ask me now."
As soon as Li Xingchen's words fell, he saw Zou Yunfa raise his hand and nodded to everyone.
"Mr. Li, in this movie, my character is Mark Lee, and I have already seen the lines, which are very well written, but I want to know how you position this role?"
Li Xingchen did not answer him directly.
Instead, he smiled, and after at least ten seconds, he said: "Zou Sheng, your last movie, if I'm not mistaken, was "Why Have Me", which was released two months ago, and you played a supporting role in it, right?" ”
said that it was a supporting role, and he could afford to look down on Zou Yun-fat, but in fact, he was a big trick.
It was completely the director Deng Zeshi who saw him pitiful and gave him charity.
Thirty-one-year-old Zou Yunfa's face immediately turned red and nodded depressedly.
"And the last time you starred in a slightly influential movie was "Love in the City" more than a year ago, which had a good reputation, but the box office was a mess, right?"
At this moment, Zou Yunfa's face turned even redder.
"Love in a Fallen City" was filmed by him and his ex-girlfriend Liao Xianren, directed by Xu Anhua, and produced by Shao's.
It turned out to be a mess.
Director Xu and his ex-girlfriend carried the pot together.
It further confirmed his reputation as "ten-year box office poison".
Xu Anhua saw him and said, "Fa Zai, thank you, don't come to me again in the future!" ”
"So I combined your experience and wrote this line in the script."
Li Xingchen said with a smile, "I'll wait for three years, I'm going to wait for an opportunity, I'm going to fight for it, not to prove that I'm going to be exposed, I'm going to talk to everyone, I've tried to lose, I must return."
"Brother Fa, do you think this line is enough to relieve your anger when you say it on the big screen?"
His Cantonese mixed with Mandarin directly hit Chow Yun-fat's weakness.
Zou Yunfa's thoughts are like springs.
When he read the script, he had a strange feeling, this line is a portrayal of his life in the past ten years!
In the film industry of Xiangjiang, no one can afford him.
Everyone thinks that he can only make TV series.
Making a movie?
Dream on!
"I'll wait three years, and I'm going to wait for an opportunity!"
This opportunity, right in front of him, how could he give it up?
"Do you believe in God or not? I believe, and I am God! Gods are all human beings, and those who can control their own destiny are gods! ”
He muttered another line that he liked.
In fact, Brother Xiaoma's lines, every sentence, he likes it very much, the kind of love that completely hits his heart!
Even in some moments, he felt that these words were not written by the young man in front of him, but what he wanted to say!
Originally, he thought that these were just his imagination and coincidences.
didn't think about it, Li Xingchen directly said what he wanted to say the most.
"Li Sheng, I'm willing to sign a contract!"
He stood up, looked at Li Xingchen, and said loudly.
