Chapter 156: Do You Want to Enter the Third Round?

Xue Zhiqian went back to Shanghai to deal with some business matters, Zhao Lei also went to the competition, there was no singer in the store, and the notice of recruiting resident singers had been sent out for a few days, but the singers who came to the interview did not meet the requirements, so Huang Xuan could only go up for two days. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xin Hao, Zhao Lei introduced a friend of his, named Liang Chen, not very old, but he has been a wandering singer for five years, after trying the song, Cao Ping immediately made a decision to hire him, Liang Chen had the courage to open a salary of 1,000 a day, and Cao Ping felt that he had earned it. Although this Liang Chen is dressed plainly, he doesn't seem to have a very good family background, but his voice is really God's appreciation, and the song "How Can You Be Willing to Make Me Sad" is sung heartbreakingly, and the on-site rendering power is really strong! On the first day of his post, he snatched away a large number of Zhao Lei's supporters.

He is also inquiring about the affairs of the studio, Zhao Liying's contract was signed three years ago, and the amount of liquidated damages is not too exaggerated, but it is also at the level of tens of millions, and his own termination of the contract is also Jackie Chan's big brother, and he has to get more than 8 million liquidated damages. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is still based on negotiation, and tearing the skin to terminate the contract is the last resort.

However, since Zhao Liying already has this idea, the sooner she makes plans, the more she has the first opportunity, but Cao Ping doesn't know much about the content of this piece, and there are no better people to ask, the most vocal is Brother Zhonglei, but he is the big boss of every day, and the most important point is that Zhao Liying came out of Huayi Brothers and was picked up by Hairun, even if Brother Zhonglei doesn't care about it, but Cao Ping can't find it to embarrass others. After thinking about it, I still have to ask Sister Zhang.

In the evening, when the estimated time was almost up, Cao Ping dialed Zhang Ziyi's phone.

"Hey, Xiaoping?" Sister Zhang's voice came.

Cao Ping asked, "Sister Zhang, are you busy?"

"No, no, I'm in Los Angeles!

Cao Ping was not polite, he had already made a special call to Sister Zhang to thank him for the last Golden Horse Awards, and it would be boring to be hypocritical, so he asked directly: "Sister Zhang, I want to consult with you about opening a studio." ”

"Studio?" Zhang Ziyi smiled: "Do you want to open a studio?"

Zhang Ziyi's agency is the oldest WMA, that is, the most famous brand in the film industry, and the oldest William Morris agency is a real century-old store, and the first superstars of the film industry, Charlie Chaplin and Marlon Brando, are its customers. Even now, the clients it serves are the world's top names, such as Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Sylvester Stallone, Condoleezza Rice, and Natalie Portman, all of whom have handed over their personal image management to WMA, and among the clients managed by its China branch are Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei.

Cao Ping hesitated, but still didn't expose Yingbao, so he explained: "I just have this idea and want to ask you." ”

Zhang Ziyi didn't care, and said: "It's very easy to open a studio, the important thing is to open the work channel after opening, you also understand, in the end, the entertainment industry is still mixed with personal connections, isn't it?

Sister Zhang didn't know about the termination of the contract by herself, Cao Ping said with a wry smile: "I have already terminated the contract with the emperor......"

"Huh, terminated?" Zhang Ziyi was a little surprised, and asked, "Then how much liquidated damages do you have to pay?"

Cao Ping nodded and said, "Ten million Hong Kong dollars, but Jackie Chan has already done it for me." ”

"Oh, you stinky boy, why are you so impulsive?" Zhang Ziyi complained: "Why don't you tell me?

Cao Ping said helplessly: "Alas, Sister Zhang, I can't explain the matter in the middle, you should tell me about the studio." ”

Zhang Ziyi pondered for a while and said: "Actually, it's very simple to open a studio, to put it bluntly, it's to pull a vote of people out to do it alone, as long as the liquidated damages and resource channels are solved, the rest is not a problem, but as far as I know, there are few domestic artist studios that do it well! Ren Quan's is one, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing's are okay, Chen Kun and Lin Xinru are also good, and most of the rest are attached to brokerage companies, like Yao Chen and Huang Xiaoming, they all rely on Huayi Brothers to make money. To put it bluntly, the most important thing in this circle is resources, as an actor, filming is king. It's simple to open a studio, hire an agent, hire an assistant, hire two publicity personnel, and add administration and finance to the regular point, which doesn't require many people. But opening a studio means that you have to find all the resources yourself, and most of the resources in this circle are concentrated in the largest ones, so you know......"

It sounds like Sister Zhang is not too optimistic about opening a studio by herself, but Cao Ping is not angry, this is Sister Zhang's only person who treats Cao Ping as her own person will say this, it is a very useful suggestion, Cao Ping still said gratefully: "I know, thank you Sister Zhang." ”

"No thanks, I didn't help much. Sister Zhang was a little embarrassed and said: "I suggest you contact a few other larger brokerage companies, like the larger ones, Huayi Brothers? ”

These are all very sincere suggestions, Cao Ping sincerely thanked: "I understand, thank you so much, Sister Zhang." ”

"What's polite with me?" Zhang Ziyi smiled: "I'll go back to China next week and come to my house to play!"

"Okay! By the way, didn't I open a meal here in Haidian, right? You can come and sit down!" Cao Ping didn't miss the opportunity to advertise Sancai, Zhang Ziyi quipped: "Yo! Master Cao is the boss! Then I must have to cheer!" After a few jokes, Cao Ping hung up the phone, and after listening to Sister Zhang's brief words, he already had a plan in mind.

got up and took a shower, went back to bed and lay down, Cao Ping found that he had received a text message, opened it and saw that it was a text message from an unknown number, which read: Matsumoto Nogo has been secretly executed, inform you.

Cao Ping thought about it for a while, and suddenly he suddenly froze, could it be the assassin ninja? He hurriedly replied to a text message: "How do you know that he has been executed?" But after sending it several times, it showed that the sending was unsuccessful, and the other party stopped sending the message, and when he made a call, it was prompted that it was an encrypted service and that he needed to enter a password, and he changed it to a text message, but it was never successful. Cao Ping was unwilling, copied the text message and kept sending, and after a while, he suddenly received a text message from this number: Don't send it again, my number is encrypted, I promised you, so I told you and gave you an explanation, from now on, this matter has nothing to do with you.

Although he knew that it was difficult for that assassin to have a chance to live, but with this sentence, Cao Ping still couldn't believe that the assassin had been ambushed, and he needed a more convincing evidence to comfort a tenacious and sad mother, and no matter how Cao Ping sent a message, this number no longer replied.

After a while, Cao Ping stopped his movements, he looked up, just now the other party said to let him stop sending it, which means that he can actually see the text messages he sent, and there is an encryption function, which shows that the other party is not an ordinary person, Cao Ping's judgment on the other party is a little clearer. Since he was sure that the other party could see it, Cao Ping rewrote: Since you dare to kill people in the three bureaus, don't you dare to come up with some evidence?

A moment later, Cao Ping's mobile phone rang, and a string of garbled characters were displayed on the screen, and with a slight smile, Cao Ping was 100% sure that the other party was a person from the third game.

Answering the phone, the bald man's voice came, and he said very seriously: "How do you know that we are in the third game?"

Cao Ping smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm also a person of literary practice, how can I not know about your three games?"

The bald man snorted coldly and said: "Do you think that our Third Bureau is a police station? Everyone knows it? Even if it is a Wenlian sect, there are few people who know about our Third Bureau, where did you learn about our Third Bureau? I advise you to give an honest explanation, otherwise, I will make a phone call, and the police will come and knock on your door within ten minutes, do you believe it or not? Since you know our Third Bureau, you should know that I am telling the truth. ”

Of course, Cao Ping knew that the Third Bureau must have a close relationship with the public security, but it was unlikely that he would be frightened by two or three sentences, so Cao Ping smiled and said: "Then I'll run now, ten minutes is enough for me to run a long way, do you want to carry out a city-wide search? Besides, I haven't done anything illegal and undisciplined? Even if you send someone to arrest me, you have to issue an arrest warrant, right?"

The bald man knew that what Cao Ping said was true, but he still didn't let go, and said coldly: "Then you can try it." ”

Cao Ping scratched his hair, did he really want to confront the state apparatus? As if there was no need for that, he changed the subject and said: "You are really boring, why are you so nervous about a photo?"

The bald man said: "When it comes to state secrets, it is already a violation of discipline for me to send you a text message notification." ”

Cao Ping thought about it, too, if he didn't send himself a text message, then he wouldn't know what happened to the assassin for the rest of his life, after thinking about it, he still couldn't have a head-on conflict, people were characters who played with the assassin as a chicken, and he couldn't pass a few tricks under the hands of the assassin, and the front was too irrational. Cao Ping said impatiently: "Okay, okay, okay, then I don't want it!" and was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute!" the bald man suddenly stopped Cao Ping.

"What's wrong? have you figured it out?" Cao Ping asked.

"You just said that you are also a person of culture?" said the bald man, "Then do you want to come to the third round?

Cao Ping was a little confused, what kind of trouble did this guy make?
