Xiao Jiujiu successfully completed the contract signing. It should be said that it was incredibly smooth. Not only did he sign the heroine of this youth film directed by Huo Qiliang, which will start filming next month, but he also received Huo Qiliang's personal commitment to be the heroine of the next three movies.
Waiting for her, she became the heroine of the great director Huo Qiliang.
Happiness came so suddenly that Xiao Jiujiu couldn't believe it. She emphasized it to Huo Qiliang before signing the contract.
"Director Huo, I don't do sex scenes."
"I make a youth campus movie, do you still want to release it?" Huo Qiliang's status does not rely on sensational plots to attract audiences.
"I don't do kissing scenes."
"It's okay, I can borrow my seat. I can replace the close-up with a kiss!"
Agent Liang Xiuyuan accompanied the signing and was beaming with joy. In this industry, strength plays a very small part in wanting to be popular. Most of it depends on background and a small amount of luck. Although she worked hard to help Xiao Jiujiu find resources, she still couldn't help.
She got such top-notch resources, but things are different now. The resources came to her on her own initiative. This little girl's luck is really good.
After the signing was successful, Liang Xiuyuan clinked wine glasses with Director Huo. Huo Qiliang still felt a little uncomfortable smelling the wine after drinking too much that day. He put the glass down without even touching the red wine on his lips. Liang Xiuyuan still had a crush on this well-known domestic director.
Very respectfully: "Director Huo, I will leave Jiujiu to you. She is young and ignorant. Please bear with me if she does anything wrong."
Huo Qiliang smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not an outsider."
Liang Xiuyuan wondered when did Xiao Jiujiu become so familiar with Huo Qiliang? Huo Qiliang is famous for his bad temper in the industry. Could it be that...
Huo Qiliang waved to Xiao Jiujiu and called her over: "Xiao Jiujiu, why isn't Zhang Chi here?"
Xiao Jiujiu blinked and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for several days."
Liang Xiuyuan was a little confused. How come Zhang Chi and Huo Qiliang still know each other? When Huo Qiliang and Xiao Jiujiu were talking, she came to Mina, who was attending today's signing ceremony on behalf of Jincheng Pictures, and smiled: "Mina."
"What orders does Sister Liang have?"
Liang Xiuyuan whispered: "I want to ask you something, what is the relationship between Director Huo and Zhang Chi?"
Mina smiled and said, "You still don't know? Zhang Chi is Director Huo's younger brother."
Liang Xiuyuan really didn't know, and looked confused. Zhang Chi was Huo Qiliang's younger brother? How come she hadn't heard of him before? This kid had hidden it well enough, but then she thought about it. It was impossible. One was named Huo and the other was Zhang. How could they be brothers?
"cousin?"
Mina shook her head and said: "We are sworn brothers!"
"When did it happen?" Liang Xiuyuan wanted to laugh a little. Huo Qiliang was old enough to be Zhang Chi's godfather.
Mina said a few words briefly and revealed another important information to Liang Xiuyuan. Not only did Zhang Chi recognize the great director Huo Qiliang as his brother, but the big boss of Jincheng Pictures, Ye Jintang, was also his godfather. Now Liang Xiuyuan was completely convinced. No wonder
Xiao Jiujiu has such good resources recently. First she became the main guest of "Fly", and now she has won the favor of Huo Qiliang, who promised to use her as the heroine in at least four movies. She just praised Xiao Jiujiu in front of reporters.
No one among the newcomers can receive such treatment.
Liang Xiuyuan originally thought that one was relying on her own connections and the other was relying on Xiao Jiujiu's luck. Only now did she realize that Ganqing had nothing to do with her. Xiao Jiujiu relied entirely on Zhang Chi's relationship to get the good job recently.
With her explosive resources, this girl's mouth was tight enough, and she didn't even reveal anything to herself.
Mina also inquired about Zhang Chi by the way, and Liang Xiuyuan just told her that Zhang Chi was a college student in Shuimu, but did not tell her anything about her family background.
After Xiao Jiujiu signed the contract, she was interviewed again amidst the admiration of reporters. She had given up hope on signing the contract. After putting forward the conditions for the first audition, director Huo Qiliang looked obviously unhappy. Unexpectedly,
Things took a turn for the worse. Now Huo Qiliang not only chose her as the heroine, but also promised to use her in all the next four movies he will collaborate with Jincheng on.
Let’s take the current youth campus film. The male protagonist is Song Zichao, one of the top three most popular celebrities. As for the supporting roles, they are a bunch of veteran actors with outstanding acting skills. Her mother is played by the then Asia-Pacific Best Actress Lin Aijia and Xiao Xiao.
Jiujiu likes her scenes the most.
Xiao Jiujiu finally managed to finish the reporter's interview. Liu Baozhu protected her back to the lounge. As an assistant, Liu Baozhu also realized that Xiao Jiujiu might really become famous.
Xiao Jiujiu went to the dressing room, changed her clothes and came out. She followed Liu Baozhu from the safe passage to the underground parking lot. The company's Mercedes-Benz was waiting there. Xiao Jiujiu got in the car. Liang Xiuyuan had already returned to the car before her, smiling.
He looked at her and said, "Jiujiu, congratulations!"
Xiao Jiujiu smiled and said: "Sister Liang, what can I congratulate? It's just a signing."
Liang Xiuyuan said: "Huo Qiliang is not an ordinary person. With his influence in the industry, this youth film is sure to be a hit. I have offered you half a million yuan in salary for this film. Jincheng also agreed that if the film is well received
Okay, future salary will start from one million."
Xiao Jiujiu smiled and leaned back in his chair tiredly: "You can take care of the salary matters. I personally don't have any high demands."
Liang Xiuyuan said: "Your variety show will premiere the day after tomorrow. You must be mentally prepared and not be as public as in the past. According to my past experience, your popularity will be greatly improved in a short period of time. Please pay attention to you."
This is also for your safety."
Xiao Jiujiu said nothing.
Liang Xiuyuan said: "You have to be good at adjusting your own psychology, and you will soon find that the world has become completely different." She has led too many artists and witnessed countless people from being unknown to becoming famous.
A big star who was famous for half the world suddenly became unpopular. The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. If you want to survive in it, you must have a strong psychological quality. She was a little worried about Xiao Jiujiu, although Xiao Jiujiu's conditions were very good.
, but her personality is too strong, and it is difficult for her to go too far in this industry.
People in this circle are usually very interested in fame and fortune, but Xiao Jiujiu doesn't care about money. Liang Xiuyuan is a little strange, why is Xiao Jiujiu working so hard? Isn't she doing it to make money? Is it just to become famous? But what is the purpose of becoming famous?
?She couldn't see through it.
Liu Baozhu said: "Sister, I heard that Zhang Chi is really Ye Jintang's godson!"
Liang Xiuyuan said: "He is not simple." She smiled and suggested: "Let's celebrate, what should we have for dinner tonight? I'll treat him, and I'll pick the place ninety-nine times."
Xiao Jiujiu said: "I want to eat barbecue!"
Zhang Chi is busy grilling skewers in the operation room. There is a shortage of manpower recently. He is embarrassed to let Fang Dahang work alone. After all, he is the big boss of the barbecue life. He has been grilling skewers in the operation room these days. To say that the business is...
It's getting better and better. When Xiao Jiujiu called, there were no private rooms, so he had to set up a temporary table for them in the backyard. Recently, Fang Dahang had a fierce fight with the nearby urban management, and he almost kowtowed.
Fang Dahang put his head towards the door and shouted: "Hurry up, the food is ready on the 3rd."
Zhang Chi said: "That's it!" He skillfully took down the meat skewers and put them on the tray. He took advantage of this moment to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "Are Xiao Jiujiu and the others here?"
"No, I'll let you know when I'm here. You can work with peace of mind."
Zhang Chi glared at him and said, "You are so stupid, I've been busy for two hours."
Fang Dahang raised his head and looked at the wall clock: "I didn't pay attention. You keep busy, I will deliver the food." There is only one waiter left in the store, and the other three have returned to Beichen for the New Year. The two bosses have to do it themselves.
Zhang Chi put the skewers on again, threw off his arms and continued working steadily.
Fang Dahang slipped back again, and Zhang Chi said angrily: "I'm so busy, don't keep wandering in front of me."
Fang Dahang laughed and said: "I captured two young men."
Zhang Chi looked up and saw that it was Shen Jiawei and Ma Da. Shen Jiawei came here after receiving a call from his mother. As for Ma Da, he came here specially for dinner. When he came to the place, he was dumbfounded. The business of Shaoyu Shengsheng was so booming that there were no tables left.
Fang Dahang couldn't let the two of them idle, so he asked Shen Jiawei to help as a waiter and help Zhang Chi quickly operate the motor.
Shen Jiawei said: "My mother and the others are stuck in traffic, so we will probably be late for more than half an hour."
Zhang Chi said: "If there is a traffic jam at this point, I probably won't be able to get out for half an hour." He said to Fang Dahang: "Dahang, if someone leaves the private room, don't arrange for other guests, leave it to Xiao Jiujiu and the others."
Fang Dahang said: "No, we have agreed to a table, and they are waiting outside."
Zhang Chi shook his head, Ma Da sat on a pony and tied up a string of strings. After he finished stringing the string, he showed it to Zhang Chi: "Brother, do you think it's okay?"
Before Zhang Chi could say anything, Fang Dahang complained: "Fuck you, if you do this business, we will lose everything in less than a month. Each string costs four to five yuan. You are really sincere. Every string is special."
That’s half a pound of meat.”
Ma Da said: "It's not even half a catty. Even with the hammer, there are only two ounces of meat. It's quite dark."
Fang Dahang said: "Are you here to help or to cause trouble? Work quickly!"
Ma Da changed the freshly threaded meat skewers into two skewers, looked up at Zhang Chi and said, "Brother, can you learn this skill from me?"
Fang Dahang couldn't stand listening anymore: "I'm talking about Ma Da, who do you call brother with such a shy face? You are older than me, so you call him brother?"
Ma Da said: "Everyone has his own style, but I admire my brother. My brother is my idol. He is handsome, good at studying, strong and talented. He can dance, do martial arts, and barbecue. He can even seduce girls so well."
Okay, I’m not bragging. I have a high vision and there aren’t many people I can like. I just admire my brother, but I’m not that convinced of my dad.”
Fang Dahang was so disgusted by what he heard, could he be any more shameless? The flattery was too obvious, he was relaxed as if nothing had happened, and seemed to be enjoying it. If this guy were an emperor, he would definitely be a coward, and Ma Da must be a treacherous minister!
Shen Jiawei trotted over: "Is the food at table seven ready?"
Zhang Chi put the grilled meat skewers on the tray and handed them to him, and said to Fang Dahang: "Do you really think you are the big boss? Hurry up and help put the skewers on."
Fang Dahang said: "I have to go to the reception, Ma Da, hurry up. Didn't you have dinner tonight?"
Ma Da was not convinced by him and said loudly: "You just haven't eaten, what's wrong?"
Fang Dahang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Work hard, and your brother will treat you when you are done."
Immortal Zhang used all his skills to place a hundred meat skewers on the barbecue grill at a time, his hands flying up and down like butterflies, and his movements were so graceful that the onlookers were dazzled.
Ma Da tried his best to feed, but the speed of threading the strings still couldn't keep up with Zhang Chi. Fang Dahang decisively replaced Shen Jiawei and gave Shen Jiawei a small horse to accompany Ma Da to thread the strings. The two worked together to do this.
He could barely keep up with the pace of relaxation.
While working, Ma Da flattered him: "Brother, you are so awesome. Looking at the capital, there is no one with more cool kebab moves than you. If I want a girl, I will like you."
Shen Jiawei said: "There is no need to delay your love now. True love does not pay attention to gender."
Ma Da said: "Shen Jiawei, you are a bad example. I have pure gay feelings for you."
Shen Jiawei said: "We are all comrades. Oh, you two have grown up quickly enough. Were we going to be comrades during the winter camp?"
Speaking of the winter camp, Ma Da sighed and said: "This winter camp is so fucked up. Why was it suddenly canceled? My dad went back to his hometown. I spent this Spring Festival alone. I only had instant noodles and frozen dumplings all day long.
I'm so tired of it."
Zhang Chi said: "It's almost done. Let Xiao Wang come over and take care of it. You two wash your hands and get ready to eat." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jiujiu and the others also arrived.
This was Liang Xiuyuan's first time here. When she saw Zhang Chi's son squatting there to help, she felt fresh and said with a smile: "Okay, business is booming."
Zhang Chi said: "Sister Liang, please take a seat in the courtyard. Xiao Jiujiu has finished the phone call and has not reserved a private room. Jiawei, please take it with you."
Shen Jiawei stood up and greeted them.
Fang Dahang sorted out the list. The busiest time was over. He said to Zhang Chi: "I'll ask Xiao Wang to come over. You finish baking these on the stove and give them to Xiao Wang. He can handle it alone."
Zhang Chi nodded, and Xiao Jiujiu came over: "Boss Zhang, do you want to help?"
Fang Dahang was frightened when he heard this: "Auntie, please sit inside. You have suffered too much for growing up. Don't cause trouble with us here." The last fight with Xiao Jiujiu still has shadows, although Zhang Chi knows
Those people were causing trouble for him, but Fang Dahang had always believed that beauty was a source of trouble. Every time Xiao Jiujiu came, he was particularly cautious. If there was a private room today, he would invite her to it.
Xiao Jiujiu glared at him: "Why have I suffered for my appearance? How can I be sorry for you, old man?"
Fang Dahangdao: "That's not what I meant. I meant that you are too good-looking and we will suffer easily. Please invite the big stars."
Xiao Jiujiu said: "I just love being here. I'm looking for Zhang Chi but not you."
Fang Dahang said: "Okay, you two chat while I go outside to get busy."
Zhang Chi handed Xiao Jiujiu a skewer of mutton, and Xiao Jiujiu shook his head.
Zhang Chi said: "What do you want to eat? Order, and I will take advantage of the fire to roast your food."
Xiao Jiujiu said: "You!"
"Want to roast me?"
Xiao Jiujiu nodded.
Zhang Chi said: "Then you have to take off your clothes and wash them off, otherwise it will be unhygienic."
Xiao Jiujiu came up to him and slapped him hard on the buttocks. It was so hard that Immortal Zhang's backside naturally shrank: "You're a female gangster."
Xiao Jiujiu said: "Do you want you to touch me?"
Zhang Chi said: "You can't touch the tiger's butt, the consequences will be serious."
Just when Xiao Wang came over, Zhang Chi asked Xiao Jiujiu to go back first, and he would go over immediately after grilling the skewers on hand.
Liang Xiuyuan heard her son introduce Zhang Chi to the university about starting a business and opening a barbecue restaurant. She also sent flower baskets when it opened, but she had never visited. Liu Baozhu was shocked, twirling the orchid and pointing: "I really dare to say that Zhang Chi
If you dare to do something, I appreciate young people who are enterprising."
Ma Da was not familiar with them, so he didn't say much and just laughed along with them.
Liu Baozhu asked: "Are you an international student? Which country are you from?"
Ma Da said: "Real estate people are just like you."
Shen Jiawei introduced Ma Da to them, Zhang Chi brought a tray of meat skewers, and Xiao Jiujiu moved a maza for him and asked him to sit next to him.
Zhang Chi picked up a glass of beer and said: "The conditions are simple and the greetings are not good. I hope you can bear with me."
Liang Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I have wanted to come over for a long time, but I have been too busy with work. This is good. Young people start their own businesses and are self-reliant. It is worth encouraging. Jiawei, you should also learn from Zhang Chi."
Shen Jiawei's face was a little red. In fact, Zhang Chi had originally invited him and Ge Wenxiu to join the team. The two felt that it would be shameless to have a barbecue and they couldn't bear the hardship, so they backed down. Now that Zhang Chi and Fang Dahang have done a good job, Shen Jiawei still feels a little bit sad.
Regrettably.
Liang Xiuyuan raised her glass and said: "The main reason I'm inviting you to dinner tonight is to celebrate Jiujiu and the successful signing of Jiujiu. I wish Jiujiu will be prosperous from today on, with new films selling well at the box office, and variety show ratings rising steadily."
Everyone raises a toast together.
Xiao Jiujiu smiled calmly and said: "Thank you everyone for your help and care for me all the time. Special thanks to Sister Liang. I will work hard and I will not let you down."
Liang Xiuyuan found that Xiao Jiujiu did not mention Zhang Chi, but instead thanked her emphatically. It was probably not out of courtesy. She could not have known that the recent resources were thanks to Zhang Chi. It seemed that this girl had real feelings for Zhang Chi.
Only now did Ma Da find out that he was drinking with a group of people from the literary and art circles. Zhang Chi had told him before that he should not talk too much and play the role of a drinking partner tonight. Ma Da was really convinced by Zhang Chi that no one would take the initiative to ask.
He certainly doesn't talk much.
Zhang Chi drank a few glasses of wine with them, and the business became busy again. He had to get up to work again, and Ma Da followed him to help.
Liu Baozhu said: "That fake foreigner seems to be very convinced by Zhang Chi."
Shen Jiawei smiled and said: "Zhang Chi has this kind of ability, and I am particularly impressed by him."
Liang Xiuyuan said: "He does have many shining points, Jiawei, you should learn from him in the future."
Liu Baozhu nodded with deep sympathy and said: "This kid will definitely succeed in the future."
Liang Xiuyuan glanced at Xiao Jiujiu and found that Xiao Jiujiu was looking in the direction of the operation room. She knew that she must be chasing Zhang Chi's figure, but why was there inexplicable sadness hidden in her eyes?
