About ten minutes later, Xu Xu finally read all the details of the contract. Although he sighed slightly, the last sentence still made Shen Mu and Ye Lan heave a sigh of relief.
Because they clearly know how outrageous those contract details are, and the star in front of them is the star of the Wolf Fang List. If they have any doubts, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
To be honest, Xu Xu felt a little complicated after reading the contract. This was probably the weirdest contract he had ever seen in so many years.
Although he has not acted in the past few years, he has read a lot of scripts and contracts. Without an agent, he has always read them by himself.
In addition to appearing for free first and only performing for ten episodes, there are also many chain reactions due to lack of funds.
These are all written into the contract by Shen Mu, which will inevitably lead to a lot of trouble when the film is launched in the future.
From another perspective, Shen Mu was able to write all the details into the contract, which was an aboveboard attitude.
This put everything out in the open, which made Xu Xu feel more at ease than secretly poking around and making small moves.
This was one of the reasons why he agreed without much consideration.
"Who made me really like this script?"
This is the most important reason why Xu Xu chose to agree. All the details will ultimately be determined by the strength of the script.
At least in this matter, the excellence of the script itself has defeated everything.
The generous conditions proposed by Sun Beitao before can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Without the script as the foundation, how can there be flowers on the cake?
"But I have a condition!"
Just when Shen Mu and Ye Lan were about to complete their secret mission, Xu Xu's voice sounded again, making their hearts jump again, thinking that this matter would not be so easy after all.
"I want to read the complete script of Wolf Fang List, is that okay?"
However, Xu Xu's next words made Shen Mu slightly stunned and at the same time, his heart was completely relieved.
Especially when he saw that Xu Xu had already signed his name on the contract with a pen and then raised his head to look at him, Shen Mu suddenly felt that he was a little bit villainous.
"sure!"
To show his sincerity, after Shen Mu finished speaking, he took out a thick script from his bag. It was the complete version of Langya Bang. Only he and Ye Lan had read it all.
"Guys, it's time to start dinner!"
Just when Xu Xu excitedly opened the first page of the complete script, Xu Caihe's voice sounded outside, causing Shen Mu and Ye Lan to stand up instantly.
If they were not looking forward to this meal when Xu Caihe left just now, now they can't wait to eat those dishes in their mouths immediately.
On the contrary, Xu Xu stood up reluctantly and after pondering for a moment, she walked out of the room with a thick script in her arms, leaving Xu Caihe outside stunned for a moment.
"Why are you bringing the script with you to dinner? Can't you read it after eating?"
As Xu Caihe said this, he was about to collect Xu Xu's script. Upon seeing this, the latter hugged him quickly, then quickened his pace and hurried towards the restaurant.
"Huh? This is a lot of energy!"
Seeing Xu Xu's actions, Xu Caihe was not angry, but his eyes lit up, and then said: "I really want to thank you two!"
Shen Mu naturally knew what the other party was referring to, so he waved his hand and said: "We should be grateful to Xu Xu, otherwise the protagonist of my play would not have been found yet!"
"Same joy, same joy!"
Xu Caihe was also a person who had seen the world, so he said no more and led the two of them into the restaurant.
Xu Xu, who was sitting at the dining table, had already begun to read the complete script of Wolf Fang List.
As the boss behind Jiang Nanchun, although Xu Caihe has seldom cooked in recent years, his skills are definitely still there. The few dishes he cooks are extremely authentic Jiangnan dishes that are full of color, fragrance and flavor.
It was so delicious that Shen Mu and Ye Lan almost swallowed it with their own tongues.
Seeing these two eating so happily, Xu Caihe also had a smile on his face.
However, when Xu Xu saw Xu Xu holding vegetables casually with one hand and flipping through the book with the other hand, Xu Caihe felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Is this an obsession?
"To be honest, now I'm looking forward to your show!"
Xu Caihe didn't say that she also wanted to read the script. She knew the rules of this industry, but the words that came out of her mouth made Shen Mu and Ye Lan look at each other.
"Don't worry, Sister He, I won't let you down!"
Shen Mu can only make such a promise now. Everything will depend on the works.
He knew that for people like Xu Caihe, if the drama turned out to be really rubbish, the other party would probably not say any unintentional praise, even if his brother was the lead actor.
It was a pleasant meal, but the mood of the two people who left the Xu family in a bit of confusion was not so good!
…………
"Director Sun, can this matter just be settled like this?"
Assistant Zhao Ke, who came out of the Xu family gate and got into the luxury car, still felt a little bit unable to swallow his breath and spoke angrily next to him.
Sun Beitao's face was a little gloomy. To be honest, he had not been so embarrassed for many years, let alone being so embarrassed that he had nothing to say.
He never thought that he would lose to a small director on the script.
Isn't that guy Shen Mu a director? Why can he write such a wonderful script?
Thinking of this, Sun Beitao couldn't help but feel angry even with Zhengying's screenwriting team.
What do these guys do for a living? So many people can't beat a young guy who is not a screenwriter?
"The name of his script seems to be 'Spike List'. Zhao Ke, go check it out and see if there has been any similar scripts or original novels before?"
Sun Beitao, who was in an extremely depressed mood, felt that he could not lose like this, so he took a deep breath, turned to Zhao Ke and said.
"Director Sun, I just checked and there is no work called 'Spike List' on the Internet, not even a composition!"
Zhao Ke is undoubtedly a qualified assistant. Obviously he has done these things a long time ago, and he also complained about it, making Sun Beitao's face even more gloomy.
"Do you think you are funny?"
Sun Beitao glanced at Zhao Ke, and then said angrily: "What's the use of just checking one name? I'll ask you to check if there is anything related to the content of the Wolf Fang List!"
It seemed that Sun Beitao was really confused. He obviously ignored an extremely important fact.
After saying this, Zhao Ke showed a look of embarrassment on his face, even a little aggrieved.
"But... we don't know the contents of the Wolf Fang List!"
After suppressing the grievances in his heart, Zhao Ke could only tell the truth.
They had only seen the cover of each other's script before, so they only knew one name.
As for what the other party's script is about, it's all in the dark.
They didn't even know what type of TV series it was, so how could Zhao Ke check it?
"Useless things!"
Sun Beitao also knew that he had made an own mistake, but he just wanted to find someone to vent to. Zhao Ke, who was closest to him, undoubtedly became the only one to take the blame.
The driver driving in front said nothing, for fear of arousing the boss's anger. At the same time, he silently mourned for Zhao Ke in his heart, hoping that the boss's anger would pass as soon as possible.
"Jingle Bell……"
At this moment, the phone rang like a life-saving straw, making Zhao Ke sweat profusely when he answered it.
"Hey, who is it?"
However, Zhao Ke, who had been scolded by his boss, was naturally not in a good mood, and his tone was a bit irritable, which made the person on the other side of the phone stunned for a moment and did not speak for a while.
"say!"
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Zhao Ke was really angry. Could this be a harassing call?
"Ah...Hello, I am Wu Xuan, the assistant to the director of Wantai Entertainment. Is this Mr. Zhao Ke, the assistant to Director Sun Beitao?"
The person opposite had obviously just come to his senses, and when he heard the words "Wantai Entertainment", Zhao Ke's heart skipped a beat, and then his arrogance instantly calmed down.
"Yes, it's me. Sorry, I just thought it was a scam call... I'm Zhao Ke!"
Zhao Ke was a little incoherent, and Sun Beitao next to him frowned.
He was already angry and felt that it was time for him to change his position as an assistant?
"Oh, oh, okay, okay, I will definitely tell Director Sun, please don't worry, Director Wang!"
About two minutes later, with Zhao Ke's somewhat respectful voice, he finally hung up the phone and turned to look at the boss.
"Is it Mrs. Wang's side? What did they say?"
Sun Beitao naturally heard some of the conversation just now, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked directly, and his mood was not as bad as before.
Of course Sun Beitao knew who Mrs. Wang from Wantai Entertainment was. She was a person who could almost dominate the film industry.
Didn’t that young director Shen Mu have to switch to TV dramas just because he offended Mrs. Wang?
Even though Mrs. Wang can't reach out to the TV drama industry, the other party is after all a well-known predator in the entertainment industry.
To put it bluntly, he, Sun Beitao, is just a director, and there is quite a bit of a difference in status between the two.
"Mrs. Wang, I want to make an appointment to talk to you about the new drama!"
There was a hint of surprise and excitement on Zhao Ke's face.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows Wantai Entertainment's name, and he didn't expect that the other party would come to him.
Hearing this, Sun Beitao was also a little surprised. You must know that Mrs. Wang's Wantai Entertainment used to invest in movies, and it was rare to hear that it would invest in TV series.
If you put it this way, will you become the first director of Wantai Entertainment to invest in a TV series?
From this point alone, it is enough to take Sun Beitao's reputation to a higher level.
It's just that Sun Beitao is a little confused. The news of his new drama has not spread yet. Xu Xu is also the first actor he found. How come Mrs. Wang already knows about it?
