"That's true. I can prove this. The quality of our boss Wu's works is very good, and it's a blockbuster movie."
"So, if your movie has our boss Wu starring in it, it will be immediately upgraded to a higher level. If boss Wu invests in your movie, it will be even more different. It will probably win awards!"
Da Fei can't wait.
What's going on with these two?
What are you doing here for dinner?
Is it still just for eating?
Isn't it for investment?
Why doesn't anyone mention it?
Da Fei scolded him, and Xiao Qi's expression instantly became awkward.
"Wu Di, actually, I did hear from my senior brother that you seem to have some connections and can get some investment, so I want you to help."
Da Fei's eyes darkened: I asked you to ask for money, but I didn't ask you to be so direct!
He quickly helped to make up for it: "Actually, the main thing is that I want you to star in this film. If there is investment, of course it would be the best."
"If there was no investment, this movie would still have to be handed over to you, Boss Wu."
It’s better to be more direct when talking like this!
Wu Di frowned: "Da Fei, I just said it, you don't have to be so polite, and Xiao Qi, you are the same."
"We are all friends and brothers. I can come, which means that I am really interested in this script. Think about it, the subject matter of your movie is originally relatively unpopular. If I am just doing it to make money
, I wouldn’t even consider this movie.”
Xiao Qi's heart suddenly felt cold.
Doesn’t this mean that his movie can’t make money?
Although he also had this kind of psychological expectation, it was still a bit unacceptable to be suddenly pointed out by the funder.
"Boss Wu, you are too direct."
"We, Xiao Qi, have just graduated a few years ago, and we have high expectations for this script. You see, this is such a shock that I can't even lift my head."
Xiao Qi is indeed lowering his head now, looking like an eggplant beaten by frost, but Wu Di has no intention of painting a cake for him.
"Xiao Qi, don't dislike me for speaking coldly. I'm just trying to make it clearer about the situation we are currently facing."
"I still like your movie very much and am willing to participate. However, I advise you to keep a calm mind before you come up with the finished product."
"As long as the quality of the finished product is good, even if the box office is not satisfactory, it doesn't matter. Don't you want to realize your dream?"
"If the movie is well made, doesn't that count as fulfilling a dream?"
"Of course, if I were involved, I wouldn't be able to just watch the work go unnoticed. I would definitely help promote it."
"You can rest assured about this."
Wu Di's words gave Xiao Qi great encouragement. He suddenly raised his head with a determined look on his face.
"Boss Wu is right!"
"I should focus on the quality of my work first, and not think about fame and fortune first!"
"Boss Wu, if you have any requests, just ask them! As long as you invest in me, I will agree!"
Da Fei is confused again: Do you agree to anything?
The tone is too loud!
What a stupid boy, I won't say anything.
As a result, Yuan Dafei really stopped talking and began to eat the food seriously. Without his interference, Wu Di could achieve his goal more easily.
It's a lie, isn't it? It's very simple.
If you want to trick me into investing, I am not a vegetarian. Of course, you have to get your money back.
So, Wu Di rubbed his hands and said seriously: "Xiao Qi, this is what you said, can you agree to any request?"
"of course!"
"I never lie."
You never lie, so don't worry.
"That's right, you can rest assured about the investment. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can indeed support your movie."
"After all, the investment in this movie is not very large, and the cost is relatively easy to control."
Xiao Qi nodded fiercely.
Wu Di continued: "One more thing, I can also say in advance that considering your financial resources, I can get zero pay for starring in this movie."
The meatball on the big kuaizi fell off in an instant.
"Zero pay?" Xiao Qi was also stunned.
"How about that?"
"Although it's difficult for me, I can't not give you a penny. Let me think about it..."
"fifty thousand?"
Xiao Qi thought about it seriously and shook his head: "How about one hundred thousand?"
One hundred thousand is the limit!
Wu Di pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Xiao Qi's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of his chest.
Isn’t one hundred thousand enough?
I really can’t afford any more!
After admiring Xiao Qi's expression of wanting to cry, Wu Di relaxed and said, "Okay!"
"I already said zero pay is fine. Do you still care about how much money you give me?"
"Besides, I have to invest, and 80% of it is the main investor. Isn't the remuneration you give me still the wool coming from the sheep?"
Ah this...
I really didn't expect this level.
"Wu Di, stop being so pretentious and tell me your request quickly." Da Fei really couldn't stand it anymore.
This Xiao Qi is no match for Wu Di. If we keep going around like this, I'm afraid there won't be any results tonight.
Under Xiao Qi's extremely respectful eyes, Wu Di finally bowed and announced the request.
"Xiao Qi, I want to direct with you."
"director?"
"Did I hear that right?"
Shocked, Xiao Qi and of course Yuan Dafei.
What's happening here?
You haven't learned to walk yet and want to run?
"Boss Wu, do you really want to be a director?"
"Of course, didn't I tell you? I want to participate in behind-the-scenes production, I just want to be a director."
Yuan Dafei and Xiao Qi both had expressions of disbelief on their faces, but Wu Di did not take Da Fei seriously, but stared at Xiao Qi intently.
The key lies with him.
As long as he agrees, can Da Fei still stop him?
"How about it?"
"Director Qi, you don't need to be nervous. I just need to put my name behind you. When the actual filming begins, I will play the leading role and learn two directing techniques from you. Just teach me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is not a disadvantage for you. After all, I can invest in you, and I also star in your movie, which is equal to me.
His interests are consistent with yours."
"As a new director, I understand your dilemma very well. Investment is unstable, and it is even harder to grasp the mood of investors. Once the filming encounters difficulties and the investors are not satisfied, they will withdraw the investment.
Aren’t you calling Tian Tian Ying Ying?”
"But if you use me, you don't have to worry. I am the leading actor in this movie. I can't let the movie starring myself not be completed!" Wu Di spread his hands and faced his two friends very sincerely.
Yuan Dafei is very sensible, and now is certainly not the time for him to speak.
Anyway, he is a plotter. As long as Wu Di and Xiao Qi can come to an agreement, he will be considered a meritorious service.
Of course, Wu Di's behavior of not asking for pay still made Da Fei very hurt.
Brother, if you don’t want remuneration, what will happen to my commission?
Aren't you lost?
Da Fei was feeling sad, but on the other side, Wu Di and Xiao Qi had already put their arms around each other and called themselves brothers.
"good!"
"Ok, deal!"
"I will be the director and you will be the assistant director. If we work together, we will have a bright future!"
"That is, as long as you agree to let me be the assistant director, investment will not be a problem!"
Xiao Qi squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Boss Wu, can you... invest a few more points?"
"No... not enough flowers."
"What are you talking about?"
"How many o'clock?"
Good guy!
It looks like he drank a lot, but it turns out he is not drunk at all!
What else is there to talk about?
Turn the table over!
Xiao Qi's heart suddenly felt cold.
At this time, Wu Di put his arms around his shoulders and breathed alcohol and said: "I tell you, we are brothers, your business is my business."
"When the shooting starts, no matter how much money you want, I will give you the money, it will be all on me!"
Yuan Dafei: I can’t eat this rice anymore!
All crazy!
…………
On the other side, the Mandarin Hotel.
Han Jingjing carried a small bag, blocked the red light all the way, and finally arrived at the agreed place.
Although this time she came to ask for boss Wu's salary, so she was very confident, but she still put on a very kind face and a particularly humble attitude.
who do you think You Are?
You are just Wu Di's assistant. In this Fuzi crew, Boss Wu is not even the boss. How can you be treated well as a little assistant?
Furthermore, the relationship between Boss Wu and the crew of Master Wu is also very clear, but he is just a marginal small role, and it is definitely not as good as the treatment on the skin-changing side.
Gu Mei asked him to collect the pay by himself, and he even put on airs and asked his assistant to come over. It is conceivable that when Gu Mei saw her, he would not look at her well at all.
Under pressure, Han Jingjing dialed Gu Mei's number.
I pray that I can get the money smoothly, ah, of course it must go smoothly!
That's her money too!
"Director Gu, my name is Jingjing. I'm already outside the hotel, right here at the Dishang Cafe. I'll go up and find you. Sorry to bother you!" Han Jingjing deliberately pinched her throat and pretended to have a particularly sweet and lovely voice.
He didn't even dare to mention asking for money for fear of offending Gu Mei.
There was a lot of noise on the other side of the receiver. It sounded roughly like all kinds of shouting and shouting sounds. It was only what time and I was already very drunk.
"In the Spring Bamboo Room, come up. Oh, by the way, it's the fifth floor."
Han Jingjing hung up the phone and watched the phone screen gradually turn black, full of doubts.
It's that simple?
Gu Mei's tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all. He seemed to have no ill feelings towards Han Jingjing, the little assistant who ran errands. Could it be that this was a gift from God?
Does she deserve the money?
Han Jingjing tremblingly arrived at the Chunzhu Room, a private box located in the middle of the corridor.
Just when Han Jingjing was hesitating whether to make another call or knock on the door directly, the box door actually opened!
Gu Mei actually walked out!
Through the brief opening of the box door, Han Jingjing caught a glimpse of the fact that in addition to Brother Hua, several senior members of the crew were there!
Before Gu Mei could speak, Han Jingjing kept saying nice things.
Whether it was to excuse Wu Di or to explain to herself, Ji Xiang kept talking to ensure that Gu Mei would obediently hand over the money to her.
Jingjing worked very hard, but Gu Mei's brows became more and more frowned.
"Do you usually talk like this?"
Jingjing paused and immediately felt something was wrong.
"No, isn't it? I'm meeting a big boss in the industry. I'm so excited at the moment. If I offend you, please don't take it seriously."
Gu Mei crossed his hands, his expression getting more and more weird.
"Young man, is this necessary?"
"This is too fake!"
Han Jingjing was stunned: "Is it fake?"
“I think it’s quite natural!”
It turns out that both of them knew that this was just acting, but acting is such an art.
Although the actors know it is fake and the audience also knows that what they are acting is fake, they must be included in the play!
Actors must enter the drama in order to lead the audience into the dramatic situation.
"Using our professional system to evaluate, your performance just now received a zero score. No, it was a negative score!"
"Aren't you just here to run errands for Wu Di?"
"Even if I am dissatisfied with him, I will not get angry at you, so why should you nod and bow?"
Can't see it!
It’s really hard to see through it!
After being scolded by Gu Mei, Han Jingjing immediately relaxed.
Really, it was all in vain.
A waste of feelings.
"Gu Dao, I don't have to be like this. Isn't it all about the environment that makes a person? I'm just a little shrimp, and no one in Hengdian wants to look at me. If I don't work harder, what will happen if I lose this job?
?”
"Besides, I'm just a little assistant. I'm very replaceable. Can I still put on airs?"
Gu Mei smiled: "Little girl, you are still worried that you will be fired?"
"How is that impossible?"
"I'm not an agent, I'm just a little assistant. It's too insignificant!"
Although Han Jingjing's words are very humble and respectful, every word she says is pleasant to the ear.
However, Gu Mei still felt that this girl did not really think that she was very low-end, and her words did not seem to come from the bottom of her heart.
Although she wanted to behave like this and leave such an impression on the other party, it still felt unnatural in the eyes of the sophisticated Gu Mei.
At least, not as natural as her boss Wu Di.
"Jingjing, I think you are worrying too much. Your boss likes you very much. I see that you are herding sheep on the set every day and you don't put much effort into doing things. He doesn't do anything to you either."
"How could I really fire you just because of such a trivial matter?"
Ah...this...
It's very complicated.
Han Jingjing believes that if she had not had a relationship with Wu Di before, she would have easily been fired based on her performance.
"alright!"
"Here you go, here is your boss's salary, every penny is not a penny. The password is, go check it for him."
Well done!
As long as you get this thing, today's goal will be achieved.
Han Jingjing didn't care what Gu Mei thought of her. She was just a small assistant. Whether the director liked her or not, it wouldn't have any impact on her career prospects.
Furthermore, when she came to Hengdian, she was just traveling for fun at the beginning. She had no intention of staying there for a long time. She accidentally paired up with Wu Di, and then she continued this so-called job.
However, she knows better than anyone that the so-called celebrity assistant is not a long-term career at all.
She never thought about what would happen in the future.
