"What happened to your company for keeping me waiting for so long?" a man said dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Duan, for keeping you waiting." Zhang Meng said with an apologetic smile.
Chen Yuan frowned when he heard this. He had already lost his favorable impression of the actor before he met him.
"I was kept waiting for a full ten minutes. Do you know how much I lost in these ten minutes?" the man continued.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Duan." Zhang Meng apologized again.
ten minutes?
Chen Yuan had not come to the company before and did not know the situation. When he heard the other party complaining, he thought he had been waiting for a long time.
Unexpectedly, it only lasted ten minutes.
Is this a shame?
You know, this actor came here to discuss cooperation, and Chen Yuan is the employer and the father.
The other party was nice and put on airs.
Chen Yuan felt very unhappy.
He immediately left through the back door of the office.
The actor named Duan, like a woman, was still complaining until the moment he opened the door.
"Where are you, Mr. Chen?" Duan Pei glanced around and complained again.
"Mr. Chen was still in the office just now." Zhang Meng was also puzzled, took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Yuan's number.
Chen Yuan answered the phone and replied: "I suddenly have an urgent matter to deal with. Let him wait for half an hour."
The phone hangs up.
Zhang Meng told the truth.
"Still waiting?" Duan Pei shouted, "I'm a second-tier star, and he still wants me to wait for half an hour?"
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Duan, our Mr. Chen is really in trouble," Zhang Meng replied.
Duan Pei slammed the table, waved to the assistant, and said angrily: "I won't wait any longer, let's go."
As soon as they reached the door, Chen Yuan came in from the back door.
"Assistant Zhang, next." Chen Yuan said.
When Duan Pei heard Chen Yuan's voice, he immediately stopped and turned his head.
"Mr. Chen?"
"Yes, it's me."
"You just told me to wait for half an hour, why are you back now?"
"I'd love to, wouldn't I?"
"you do this delibrately!"
"Let you get it right."
When Duan Pei heard this, he suddenly became angry.
It would be okay if Chen Yuan refused to admit it. I didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily.
"You...are really going too far." Duan Pei shouted.
"As an actor, you don't even have this patience. I don't think you can make a good show." Chen Yuan waved his hand, "You don't meet my employment conditions, let's go."
Duan Pei felt that he had been humiliated and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's see!"
After saying that, he walked away.
"Mr. Chen, this..." Zhang Meng was a little anxious.
"Don't worry about him, continue." Chen Yuan said.
Zhang Meng could only follow the instructions and soon brought another person over.
This person has handsome features, flowing yellow hair, and is dressed in neutral clothing.
Those who didn't know, thought he was a woman.
Chen Yuan knows this person, his name is Xie Heyuan, he is considered a newbie. His traffic has been very good recently and is on the rise.
Quasi B-list star.
"Hello, Mr. Xie." Chen Yuan took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Hello." Xie Heyuan frowned slightly, then returned to normal, smiled and shook hands with Chen Yuan.
But in the blink of an eye, his actions made Chen Yuan unhappy.
Xie Heyuan opened the bag, took out a tissue and wiped his hands.
Disinfectant was also sprayed.
Chen Yuan was unhappy, but this was his personal habit and he couldn't force it.
"Mr. Xie, our film..." Chen Yuan prepared to introduce.
Xie Heyuan waved his hand and responded: "Mr. Chen, don't talk so much first. Just tell me how much I can get paid for this film."
Are you asking for a price?
"Then tell me, how much do you plan to ask for?" Chen Yuan asked.
Xie Heyuan stretched out three fingers and said: "Thirty million!"
Zhang Meng covered her mouth when she heard this number.
"This price is too high." Chen Yuan shook his head, "Our total investment is only 300 million. I plan to use most of it for post-production, so the actors' remuneration will not be that high."
Xie Heyuan smiled and said: "As the number one male, and with my current net worth of 30 million, I already give you a lot of face."
"The male lead?" Chen Yuan smiled, "I'm afraid you have a misunderstanding. Your style is not suitable for the male lead."
"What?" Xie Heyuan stood up in confusion, "I'm not the male lead, so what am I?"
Chen Yuan was not excited and replied calmly: "Just like me, the second male lead."
"You are humiliating me."
"Mr. Xie, don't be so excited. We are talking about cooperation. How can I humiliate you?"
"Then you want me to play the second male lead? Haha, it's your first time appearing on the scene, so I'm giving you face by playing the first male lead."
Give orders!
No matter how good-tempered Chen Yuan was, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I really don't need your face. If I don't want to act, I'll leave immediately!"
The situation is tense!
"You... are such an arrogant guy. I'll give you a chance to apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
Xie Heyuan also made harsh words.
"Look at my mouth shape." Chen Yuan leaned over and said, "Get out of here!"
The last two words sounded like thunder in Xie Heyuan's mind.
Xie Heyuan shuddered.
At that moment, I was almost scared to death!
"Okay, you arrogant Chen Yuan, just wait and see."
"I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, this movie will never be made!"
After Xie Heyuan finished speaking, he also left angrily.
Two of them left at once.
It's a bad start.
The most important thing is that Duan Pei and Xie Heyuan are both actors who were heavily invited and thought they could be successful.
It's all messed up.
Zhang Meng was trembling and did not dare to speak.
On the other hand, Chen Yuan, as if nothing was wrong, said calmly: "The next one."
Zhang Meng continued to call people.
The ensuing discussion was fairly harmonious, and several people were discussed, all of whom played important supporting roles.
"Mr. Chen, Xie Heyuan and Duan Pei left, and the comments they made online were very detrimental to us," Zhang Meng said.
Chen Yuan looked at it.
They were all words to attack him.
Very unpleasant to hear.
"I had an appointment with a few people before, but they called just now... and they all said they didn't have time." Zhang Meng was worried.
Everyone was not optimistic about Chen Yuan, but he attracted an investment of 300 million, and only then did actors come to his door.
Now someone is openly slandering him again, and the blow to him can be imagined.
"Don't worry, even if these self-righteous actors are used, it may not be a good thing for our drama."
"What I want to use is the kind of actor who is very calm, even depressed... I choose it myself."
Chen Yuan started to study.
Soon, a series of lists were determined and Zhang Meng was contacted again.
This round of negotiations went very smoothly and all personnel were confirmed.
The remuneration is also within controllable range.
"Release." Chen Yuan gave the list to Zhang Meng.
After Zhang Meng saw it, he was surprised and said: "Mr. Chen, do you really want to use them?"
