In fact, whether it is 3 million or 1 million, it is not a big amount for Cao Jun today.

However, as the old saying goes, children who cry are given candy, and children who are sensible are not hurt.

Zong Shuai asked the crew of "Assembly" to pay a salary of 3 million yuan. On the one hand, he wanted to minimize the studio's losses.

At the same time, Zong Shuai also wanted to help Cao Jun strive for benefits. After all, he was also in the same boat.

As long as Cao Jun earns more, Commander Zong will naturally gain a lot of benefits.

Moreover, Cao Jun was able to receive a salary of 3 million yuan because he was worth that. If he and Zong Shuai had not fought for it, they would have lost 2 million yuan.

As for offending Feng Xiaogang, Zong Shuai and Cao Jun didn't expect that much, and they weren't worried. If it didn't work out, Cao Jun could still go sing and film TV series.

The Chinese film industry is so big that Feng Xiaogang is not the only film director. Two great directors like Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kaige, as well as new directors such as Ning Hao, have also released their own works.

Besides, if it really doesn’t work out, Cao Jun can invest his own money, be his own director, his own screenwriter, his own starring role, and enter the film industry as a director, actor, and producer.

Under the persuasion of Huang Zhongjun, the peacemaker, the minor conflict between Cao Jun and Feng Xiaogang was quickly resolved.

Feng Xiaogang has never had any objections to Cao Jun. He also admires Cao Jun and is very optimistic about Cao Jun's commercial value.

From the beginning to the end, Feng Xiaogang believed that Cao Jun's salary issue was definitely caused by his agent Zong Shuai, and Cao Jun was also bewitched by Zong Shuai.

After settling the old feud, Feng Xiaogang also took the initiative to make an appointment with Cao Jun and Wang Baoqiang to visit his home.

After Cao Jun and Wang Baoqiang established contact, they got into Cao Jun's newly purchased business car.

As for the driver of the commercial vehicle, Zong Shuai helped him find him, and he was an absolute veteran driver.

Seeing Wang Baoqiang carrying a big bag of millet, Cao Jun said angrily and funny: "Baoqiang, what are you doing?"

Wang Baoqiang grinned and explained with a smile: "Feng Dao has a bad stomach, so I grew some millet in my hometown to nourish his stomach.

After chatting with Wang Baoqiang for a while, Cao Jun learned about the deep friendship between Feng Xiaogang and Wang Baoqiang.

It turned out that as early as 2004, when Feng Xiaogang was casting for the new film "A World Without Thieves", he accidentally noticed the silly image of Wang Baoqiang and took the initiative to call him, hoping that he could play the role of "Silly Gen".

Wang Baoqiang looked stupid, but he wasn't really stupid. He didn't believe anything he said. If a director as big as Feng Xiaogang asked him to film a movie, he thought he was a liar and wanted to hang up the phone.

With Feng Xiaogang's repeated assurances, the two finally met.

A year later, Wang Baoqiang had the honor to star in the movie "A World Without Thieves".

Wang Baoqiang plays "Si Gen" in the movie. This role seems to be tailor-made for him. His simple and kind character is very real.

During the filming of "A World Without Thieves", Feng Xiaogang had a bad gastrointestinal condition and often went to the toilet during the filming. Wang Baoqiang saw this and took it to heart.

Later, Wang Baoqiang became famous after filming Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves". It was this movie that brought Wang Baoqiang into contact with big-name stars such as Andy Lau and Ge You for the first time.

He was even more fortunate to be mentored by Feng Xiaogang, which gave him a good start in his future film career. He has always been grateful to Feng Xiaogang and always thought about how to repay him.

One time when we were chatting at Feng Xiaogang's house, Xu Fan accidentally mentioned that Feng Xiaogang had a bad stomach and would drink red dates and millet porridge. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Wang Baoqiang took these words to heart.

After filming, Wang Baoqiang went back to his hometown in Hebei. He specially brought home-grown millet and jujubes from his hometown and sent them to Feng Xiaogang's home as soon as possible.

One thing to say is that Cao Jun is quite convinced of Bao Qiang’s character and is definitely worth getting to know him deeply.

After learning the cause and effect, Cao Jun thought of Maotai and Zhonghua in the back seat of his car, which suddenly didn't smell good.

Compared with Wang Baoqiang, Cao Jun suddenly felt that the gifts he bought were too expensive. If he had known, he would have brought a bag of millet here, which would not only save money, but also worry.

However, when meeting Wang Baoqiang this time, Cao Jun also remembered a movie, "The Road to Misfortune", a collaboration between Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng.

By the way, recently, Cao Jun has been thinking about whether to become a director and make a movie. The appearance of Wang Baoqiang was a wake-up call for him.

Because as a newcomer in the film industry, if Cao Jun wants to transform into a director, he will not be able to make a blockbuster for his first movie. He can only make a small-budget movie to practice his skills.

There is no doubt that the movie "On the Road", a collaboration between Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, is a very good choice. Soon, Cao Jun and Wang Baoqiang arrived at Feng Xiaogang's mansion.

"Hello, Director Feng!" Cao Jun and Wang Baoqiang said in unison.

Seeing Cao Jun and Wang Baoqiang coming to the door, Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "Here you come? It's cold outside. Come inside and sit down."

"Okay Director Feng!"

"It's fine if you come, what gifts should you bring? You're so polite!" After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, he took the bags containing Maotai and Zhonghua from Cao Jun.

After saying that, Feng Xiaogang was moved when he saw Wang Baoqiang carrying another large bag of millet to the door. He then shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Fanzi, Baoqiang has brought us millet again."

After hearing what her husband Feng Xiaogang said, Xu Fan, who was busy in the kitchen, walked out of the kitchen and met Cao Jun and Wang Baoqiang.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaogang's wife Xu Fan, although not a great beauty when she was young, was an actress with a relatively recognizable appearance.

To put it bluntly, if Feng Xiaogang, with his good looks and temperament, could marry a woman of Xu Fan's good looks, it would be considered a sign of green smoke rising from his ancestral grave.

However, although Xu Fan is nearly forty years old and not young anymore, his looks are still online and he can often be found as the heroine in movies and TV series.

Later, Cao Jun, Wang Baoqiang and Feng Xiaogang and his wife chatted while eating.

In the process of cooperating with Feng Xiaogang, Cao Jun learned that the role of Zhao Erdou, the supporting actor in "Assembly", was recommended by Xu Fan and Feng Xiaogang.

Xu Fan feels that Cao Jun's image and temperament are particularly suitable for playing the role of Zhao Erdou.

Apart from anything else, Xu Fan is quite discerning when it comes to selecting dramas and casting.

For example, Xu Fan strongly recommended Wang Baoqiang to star in the classic TV series "Soldier Assault" that Wang Baoqiang previously filmed.

After Cao Jun figured out the situation, he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your recommendation. I am lucky enough to be able to participate in director Feng's blockbuster. Let me toast you and drink it."

Although Cao Jun was not very grateful to Xu Fan, he still pretended to be grateful and thanked Xu Fan sincerely. Cao Jun's words not only moved and gratified Xu Fan, but also made Feng Xiaogang feel more grateful.
