Chapter 75 The dream without you has lost its meaning
Mu Feibai's thoughts were actually not that simple.
Although the signing of Li Youqing's contract was a move to target Columbus Film and Television's layout in the Chinese film market, it was actually for his own selfish interests, which was to win the bet with Jiangbei.
To put it bluntly, I just want to take off on the shoulders of Jiang Bei, a rising star in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Of course, if this can affect the relationship between Jiang Bei and Li Youqing, it will be better for Mu Feibai.
So the next day, under Mu Feibai's instruction, Liu Guangyu quietly contacted Li Youqing who was filming with this plan.
"What? Columbus Film and Television wants to sign me?" Li Youqing was still a little dazed after receiving the call from Liu Guangyu. He shook his head to wake up and repeated the story.
It's a pity that no one heard it.
Because everyone was busy with their own affairs, even her husband Jiang Bei was in the dressing room applying makeup in preparation for filming the scene in the audition room.
Li Youqing took the latest Hippo mobile phone and looked around, then finally put it away and walked towards the dressing room.
"Give me some shade here, I've been a little angry lately."
"Are the clothes ready? Liangliang, go and get them for me."
Because there were only male and female protagonists in this scene, Jiang Bei was the only one in the dressing room who was touching up his makeup, while Liang Liang was busy as a staff member.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Bei glanced at his wife who walked in through the mirror. Seeing that there seemed to be some confusion on her face, he couldn't help but ask.
Li Youqing walked behind Jiangbei and recounted what happened, frowning and saying, "Why do you think Columbus Films did this?"
Hearing this, Jiang Bei shook his head, pretending to be puzzled, and said, "I don't know."
This is a bit fake.
Of course he knew the intention of Columbus Film and Television in doing this, and also knew what Mu Feibai was thinking in his heart, but what no one expected was that he just needed this kind of reaction from the other party.
"Harm! What else is unclear? Sister-in-law, your scheme must have been seen through by Mu Feibai and the others, and now they are preparing to crack it in this way." Liangliang, who walked in from outside with props and clothes, heard this casually.
said.
"You are everywhere." Jiang Bei glared at Liang Liang dissatisfied.
"I think what Liangliang said makes sense." Li Youqing thought that Zhang Jiuliang's words were reasonable, and touched his chin and said, "Mu Feibai has a bet with Beibei. According to rumors, his arrogant character must be what he wants.
Defeat you in terms of movies. But because of my participation, it seems to the outside world that your movie may not be released, so Mu Feibai thought of signing me so that your bet can continue."
This analysis is very reasonable, and in fact, the intention of Mu Feibai and Columbus Film and Television was accurately guessed.
It's just that problems arise.
How to solve this matter?
After Li Youqing finished speaking, he looked up at Jiang Bei, who also looked at her, and the couple fell into a brief silence.
"Husband, this is an opportunity."
Finally, Xiao Nizi took the lead to break the silence, gently pulled Jiang Bei's arm and whispered.
The old man looked at his little wife with a complicated expression and said, "Youngyou, that's not what you told me at the beginning."
The superficial reason why Jiangbei agreed to Li Youqing joining the cast of "Before Dawn" was that "Li Youqing was burdened with being hidden by Erjing Film and Television".
To put it bluntly, Li Youqing thought that this was the reason why he moved Jiangbei.
After all, in her opinion, it is a very dangerous thing for her husband to choose to gamble his entire life in the entertainment industry with Mu Feibai.
But now... Xiao Nizi seems to be moved.
I was moved by the conditions proposed by Mu Feibai and Columbus Film and Television.
But in this way, without the obstruction of Erjing Film and Television, the movie "Love Before Dawn" can naturally be released normally and face Mu Feibai's "Love in Dilemma".
Li Youqing's face inevitably showed a bit of embarrassment when Jiang Bei said this, and he explained in a low voice: "Beibei, I will definitely think about you, but I don't think our drama may be as good as that "Love Is Here"
"Dilemma". If this can not only resolve the conflict between me and Erjing Film and Television, but also win this bet, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing two birds with one stone?"
"It's up to you whether we win or not. Even if we win by then, what should we do if Columbus Film and Television is so angry that they want to hide you?" Jiang Bei shook his head and asked a question that hit his soul.
The idea is good, but even if Columbus Film and Television helps Li Youqing pay liquidated damages to help her get out of this pit, it will just jump into another pit after all, and it is not of great significance.
Li Youqing was stunned by such a question, and started to think with a nice frown on his face.
"What's the point? It's time for Mu Feibai and Columbus Film and Television to ask for help from my sister-in-law. If they really promise to write down the liquidated damages at a lower price, it will be fine." Zhuge Liang, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke again.
He also hid his body in a clothes hanger for fear of being dissed by his brother.
"Liangliang is right!" Before Jiangbei could speak, Li Youqing suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said: "It's okay to sign a contract with Columbus Film and Television, but as long as I control the liquidated damages, it's okay? The big deal is the signing fee and so on.
I take the initiative to lower it, or even don’t want it!”
"What you think is beautiful, but others may not agree with it. After all, do I have to help you pay 500 million in liquidated damages? How can it be so easy for you to leave just when you want." Jiang Bei still has his last stubbornness, but it's just in his eyes.
Already full of guilt, and even a bit invisible panic.
"You'll have to talk to find out after all!" Li Youqing has been brainwashed by this plan and can't listen to anything else. After saying this, he is going to contact the people at Columbus Film and Television.
Jiang Bei quickly stopped him and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Ah? That's not possible?" Li Youqing asked in surprise.
Jiang Bei pondered for a moment and asked, "Then have you ever thought about what to do if I lose?"
Going back to the topic just now, since it is gambling, there is no guarantee of winning or losing. If the movie is released and loses to Mu Feibai, then according to the bet, he will really leave the entertainment industry and end his career as a director.
"Are we losing?" Li Youqing frowned and thought for a while, then said: "If we really want to lose, I will quit the entertainment industry with you and never dream of becoming a big star again."
"Really?" Jiang Bei asked doubtfully.
Li Youqing nodded firmly.
"Why?"
You know, becoming a big star has always been Xiao Nizi’s pursuit, and even her father-in-law Li Qiangguo can’t change it.
Li Youqing tilted his head and looked at Jiangbei, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and said, "Maybe it's because... my dream has lost its meaning without you by my side."
