Chapter seven hundred and seventy first two red bars
The termination contract has been confirmed by the legal affairs of both companies. After all, it also involves various issues such as economic liquidation, work delivery, and termination of the contract.
He Xin browsed for a while, turned to the last page, picked up the signature pen, glanced at the agent sitting opposite him who had worked with him for ten years and apologized: "Sister Hong, I'm sorry!"
Sister Hong smiled and said: "You kid, what silly things are you talking about? Sign it now."
"Why!"
He responded and finally signed his name on the contract.
The contract was made in duplicate. After he signed it, Sister Hong signed it and stamped it with the company's seal.
"Ha, okay! Ah Xin, our previous cooperation has finally come to an end!"
Sister Hong handed one of them to him and let out a sigh of relief, her expression inevitably a little lost.
"Sister Hong, I..."
He Xin looked at it and felt very sorry. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's okay. I'm so old, but I can still stand it. As the saying goes: a solid camp, a flowing soldier. The turnover of personnel is also a normal thing. In fact, I should say sorry to you. After so many years, I can't stand it.
The place where I can help you is very limited, and in turn I have to take advantage of you..."
When He Xin heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sister Hong, please don't say that! I..."
"Listen to what I have to say."
Sister Hong waved her hands and said with a smile: "Actually, I've always felt sorry for myself, so I wanted to get you to join me in buying shares at first. Since you have your own plans, that's good. I don't have any favors, so I can still go. Okay, what?
Don't talk about it, besides our working relationship, we are still friends after all. So, just this weekend, I will make an appointment with you in advance and bring Xiao Cheng to your home for dinner."
"Hey, come on, we will definitely come over on the weekend."
The brokerage company that they had cooperated with for ten years has now officially terminated the contract. Although this matter has been brewing for a long time, He Xin's mood at this time is still somewhat complicated.
Walking downstairs, looking at the majestic form of the bird's nest in the distance, I finally let out a long sigh and got into the car listlessly.
"Brother, Mr. Hu just called. Director Liu is here and waiting for you at the company." Shen Minghui, who was driving, reported.
"Oh, then go back to the company."
It was only then that He Xin realized that he had made an appointment with Liu Jiang today.
The drive from the Asian Games Village on the North Fourth Ring Road to the company usually only takes 20 minutes at most, but I don’t know what happened today. It was extremely congested, and I stopped and stopped. In the end, the car didn’t move at all. I was originally in a bad mood while sitting in the car.
It was inevitable that He Xin would be a little restless.
At this time, the phone in my trouser pocket vibrated. I took it out and saw a text message from my wife: Have you signed?
Cheng Hao has always been very concerned about the termination of his contract. When he first talked about setting up a studio or something, he originally wanted to stop going to such trouble and just join the company.
But Cheng was unhappy. In her words, although he was the chairman and major shareholder of the company, he was in partnership with Ning Hao after all. It didn't matter whether he didn't want to be involved or avoid suspicion, she still insisted on it anyway.
In order to establish the couple's own studio, she even asked her executor and manager Chu Qing to leave her job early to help build the studio. At the same time, she also gave Wang Jinghua an obvious sign that she did not want to renew the contract when the contract expired.
Signal.
At this moment, He Xin didn't bother to send her messages back and forth, so he just called her: "Don't worry, it's already signed."
"Hehe, just sign it and then our Xinmiao Film and Television Culture Studio can be officially opened for business."
The name "Xinmiao Studio" was chosen by Cheng Hao. Firstly, it has the character "新" in it, and secondly, Xinmiao Studio will focus on cultivating potential newcomers in the future, which fits the character "Xinmiao".
I can't say it's ugly, I can only say it's average. Even though one of them has a master's degree and the other has a bachelor's degree, in terms of art, their cultural background is really limited.
Therefore, actors must not set up any cultured persona, as this is really easy to cheat.
When it came to the studio, He Xin couldn't help but ask: "Have you found any good ideas in school during this time?"
After the publicity work for "The Piano of Steel" was over, Cheng Hao reported to school. Her current status is that she is seconded to the Performance Department from the Drama Research Institute and serves as a grade 09 performance teacher. It is quite easy to go to work, and she does not have to sit in classes every week.
Four acting classes, everything will be fine after the class is over.
"Don't mention it, I now find that our school is really worse than the last. This morning I just watched the sketches arranged by the students in our class. They are all terrible. It can be described as terrible. If we were not in school,
, students with this level have been expelled from school long ago, but now, it is actually a common phenomenon, haha, no wonder Teacher Hao is so anxious and angry..."
Listening to his wife's series of complaints, He Xin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is there just no decent one?"
"Well, that's not to say there isn't one. There is a little girl named Song Tie at Level 06 who is said to be quite intelligent..."
"Wait a minute, what do you want that little girl to be called?"
"Song Tie!"
Cheng Hao couldn't help but laugh on the phone and said: "Oh, this little girl's name is quite strange. I felt very funny when I heard this name for the first time. How can any girl have such a strange name?
——Song Tie. But these are not important. Although I haven't met her yet, I have seen some clips of the plays she performed in school. They are really good, and she has been admitted to the People's Arts in advance."
At the end, Cheng Hao's tone was unavoidable with emotion, thinking that he had followed the same path back then.
Although the name Song Tie is strange and unfamiliar to He Xin, those who can be admitted to the People's Arts must have outstanding abilities.
"Then you let Chu Qing get in touch with this little girl and see how she feels?"
"Well, that's what I think too. I also inquired about her at school, and that girl has a pretty good reputation."
After chatting for a while, He Xin asked again: "By the way, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Cheng Hao, who was always very excited when it came to eating, said lazily on the phone: "Whatever, I don't have much appetite, I can't eat at all."
He Xin hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, maybe it's due to the season. I'm spring sleepy. I always yawn and feel sleepy, and my appetite isn't very good."
Due to lethargy and poor appetite, He Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Have you ever felt nauseous and wanted to vomit recently?"
"That's not true... Hey, you don't think I..."
Cheng Hao on the other end of the phone suddenly paused and realized something, then said in an uncertain tone: "No way? My aunt came here at the beginning of this month!"
He Xin felt that he had been working very hard during this period. Although he was disappointed, he still said unwillingly: "What if you got pregnant after your aunt came?"
"It's only been a few days, how can you react so quickly? Don't be ridiculous."
"No, just to be on the safe side, I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup." This guy feels more and more likely.
"Ah? Don't bother. If you want to know, I'll go downstairs later and buy a pregnancy test stick to take a test."
"No, don't go downstairs. I'll buy it for you after get off work."
He Xin looked excited, eager to know if there was any good news. If Liu Jiang hadn't been waiting at the company, he really wanted to ask Shen Ming to turn around and go home.
"Forget it, why do you, a grown man, buy something like this from a drugstore? Besides, everyone knows you. I'll ask Xiaoqing to buy it for me later, and I'll test it when you come back. But don't have too much hope,
Don’t hope that the greater your hopes, the greater your disappointment.”
On the other end of the phone, Cheng Hao felt quite uneasy after being told by her husband. She gave her husband a vaccination in advance, and at the same time, he comforted himself, so as not to be disappointed when the time came.
"Hey, good, good!"
After hanging up the phone, He Xin looked at the congested vehicles in front of him and said with an annoyed look on his face: "Why is there such a traffic jam today?"
"It's not usually so congested. Maybe there was a traffic accident ahead, right? After this section, it will probably be smooth."
Shen Ming saw his boss' anxious look in the rearview mirror. He also heard the phone call just now and asked with concern: "Brother, is Sister Cheng not feeling well?"
"Uh, no, it's just..."
He Xin didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand irritably: "Okay, let's drive your car."
The assistant hit a snag and had to shut her mouth angrily.
Fortunately, after being stuck in traffic for about five or six minutes, the car finally started to move and drove to the congestion point. As expected, there were two accident cars parked on the roadside and the police were dealing with them.
After passing this section, the road conditions immediately became smooth, and we arrived at the downstairs of the company in less than ten minutes.
He Xin opened the car door, carried his bag and trotted into the company.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Brother Liu... Oh, Sister Tong is here too! There's a traffic jam on the road, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Liu Jiang and Wang Tong, accompanied by Lu Xiao, were sitting in the reception room drinking tea. It looked like they had been waiting for a long time.
"It's okay, you are the big boss and have a lot of work! Oh, by the way, I haven't formally congratulated you yet, congratulations to the best actor!"
Compared to the dull Liu Jiang, Wang Tong is much more talkative. Now Wang Tong has just given birth to a child two years ago. She is slightly plump, but her overall temperament is worse than when the two first met while filming "Peacock"
, adding a bit of mature charm.
"Hey, Sister Tong, why are you so polite to me? Come on, come on, everyone, sit down. Brother Liu, let's get straight to the point and talk about what we have to say! How are the preparations going? When can we start the machine?" This guy sat down in a hurry,
He didn't have time to drink water, so he just said.
Liu Jiang is an honest person. He is here today to report on the progress of the preparation work. He hurriedly said: "Oh, Teacher He, the current preparation work is almost complete. I just discussed it with Xiao Lu. If nothing happens, next time
It can be turned on at the beginning of this month. It’s just..."
"Just what?"
Liu Jiang hurriedly said: "The actor who was originally scheduled to play Qiao Na accidentally broke his foot two days ago. This has been a 100-day injury, and the actor needs to be adjusted. But this is not a big problem, Qiao Na
This character doesn't have many roles, so we can slowly find him even after the film is turned on."
He Xin is already familiar with the script of "I Do". In fact, there are very few characters in this drama, and there are only six named characters in total.
The heroine Tang Weiwei; the two men pursuing her: Yang Nianhua, a wealthy man who pretends to be down and out, and Wang Yang, his ex-boyfriend from Return of the King; the other is Tang Weiwei's best friend Jin Xiaoling, and two female colleagues Lisa and Qiao Na.
For the role of Jin Xiaoling, Cheng Hao recommended the Ha girl Xue Jianing, who has not been doing well after breaking up with Brother Hu. The young female colleague Lisa, a materialistic girl who dreams of marrying into a rich family and a gold digger, found Tong Yali as a guest star;
The remaining Qiaona, an older divorced executive, still believes in love and does not give up her dream of a happy marriage.
The latter two are typical female characters in the workplace, used to set off the heroine Tang Weiwei.
Regarding the drama "I Do", He Xin is not worried at all. First of all, the overall difficulty of this drama is not high, with mostly indoor scenes and no tricks. Secondly, the total investment in this drama is less than 30 million.
Especially as it is his first film after winning the Berlin Best Actor, some big-name actors who had been waiting on the sidelines did not hesitate to make the decision. It is not an exaggeration to say that the film has not yet started shooting, but the investment has basically been recovered.
Hearing Liu Jiang say that the role of Qiao Na has not yet been decided, He Xin couldn't help but be stunned, pointed at Wang Tong next to him and said: "Brother Liu, isn't this ready-made!"
"Well……"
Liu Jiang was also stunned. He never included his wife in the account from the beginning.
But Wang Tong hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, you see I'm so fat, how can I play a white-collar executive? No, it's really inappropriate."
Wang Tong's acting skills are beyond praise, and her image and temperament are both good. Being fat or thin is not a problem at all for an actor. He Xin was anxious to go home, so he simply cut the knot and said: "I think it's okay, Sister Tong, the salary and so on
It’s all easy to talk about. Let’s ask Brother Liu to move your role back later and leave enough time to lose weight. That’s the deal!”
With that said, he asked Liu Jiang again: "Brother Liu, do you have any questions?"
"ah?"
Liu Jiang didn't expect that he accidentally got his wife in. What should he do if there was no one to take care of the children at home? But seeing He Xin's eager expression, he didn't know what to say. He could only say: "And there's more.
It's best for the actors to gather a week in advance before filming starts, and let's go through the script first."
"Reading the script, no problem! What else?"
"And..."
Liu Jiang came here today, not only to report on the preparation progress, but also to apply for the next stage of expenses. As the production director of this drama, Lu Xiao also held the payment application form in his hand.
Halfway through, he looked at Lu Xiao.
He Xinxin understood the idea and asked directly. Xiao Luzi took the order, glanced at the amount on it, signed his name, handed it over, and asked: "Is there anything else?"
Liu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had filmed many TV series before. For a director, one of the biggest problems encountered at work is money, and the other is the constraints from investors. But since joining Xinhao Media,
He has never been troubled by these two problems. Even if the company asked him to direct a movie that was a big challenge for him this time, as the boss of the company and the male lead in the movie, He Xin, gave him full trust.
Thinking about it this way, what does it mean to abandon your wife?
Liu Jiang showed an honest smile and nodded hurriedly: "No, no more..."
Before he could show his loyalty, He Xin had already stood up and said: "It's okay if it's gone. I'm really sorry, Brother Liu, Sister Tong, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!"
After finishing speaking, before the embarrassed Wang Tong could open his mouth, he turned around and jumped up.
Xiao Luzi, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, watched his boss go out and shook off the payment form in his hand: "Director Liu, I'm going to go through the formalities first."
When Xiao Luzi also walked out of the door, Wang Tong looked at her husband with an annoyed look on his face and said, "If I had known this, I might as well not have come with you today."
As he said this, he complained: "It's all your fault. Why didn't you say a word just now? Who will take care of the children in the future?"
Liu Jiang was a little afraid of his wife, so he asked: "Why don't you bring our mother over?"
"That's the only way it can be."
Wang Tong had no idea. He pouted and could only nod. Then he looked down at his growing waistline and said sadly: "Really, I have to lose weight again!"
He Xin went out and didn't even have time to go upstairs to his office. He drove straight home.
"Wife!"
He hurriedly entered the door and saw his wife sitting on the sofa side by side with Chu Qing, her eyes were red. He was suddenly excited. You must know that his wife is famous for being strong. In addition to filming, she sheds tears in life.
Things are almost rare.
He didn't even bother to say hello to Chu Qing, and hurried over and asked, "How are you, have you been tested?"
"Is this all you care about?" Cheng Hao raised his head, looking aggrieved and a little shy.
"Huh? No, this, uh..."
Seeing his anxious look, Cheng Hao bit his lip and showed the pregnancy test he was holding in his hand.
It turned out that she didn't pay attention at first. She was always sleepy and had no appetite during this period, so she thought it was spring sleepiness. She was shocked when her husband said this on the phone just now, and she quickly called Chu Qing.
After Chu Qing answered the phone, she bought a pregnancy test stick and hurried over. She didn't even have time to wait for her husband to come back. After taking a test, there were indeed two red lines on it.
Although he had long expected it, when He Xin clearly saw the two red lines displayed above, his legs subconsciously felt a little weak, and then he was ecstatic. After so many years, his original hope finally became a reality.
"This...is it true?"
He couldn't even believe his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs.
Cheng Hao did not expect that her husband would have such a reaction, and the grievances in his heart suddenly disappeared. He took his hand, nodded and said: "According to the instructions, there should be two bars."
The more what he expected became a reality, the more He Xin felt worried about gain and loss, he stumbled and said: "But, didn't you say before that my aunt came to visit at the beginning of the month? In such a short time... uh, sure
What?"
"Brother, I think it's better to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow." Chu Qing, who was relatively calm, reminded in a low voice at this time.
"Yes, yes, go to the hospital for a checkup!"
He Xin's mind seemed to have shut down just now, but now he came to his senses and started thinking: "Uh, Xiaoqing..."
He first looked at Chu Qing, then felt that the girl was not capable enough, so he quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number with trembling fingers.
"Sister Hong, it's me. Let me ask if you have any acquaintances at Union Hospital... Yes, preferably from the obstetrics and gynecology department!"
When Sister Hong on the other end of the phone heard this, her voice immediately rose twice, and she said in surprise: "So, Xiao Cheng has good news?"
"Uh, yes! But it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up."
"Okay, okay, I have an acquaintance in Xiehe, although he is not an obstetrics and gynecologist, but don't worry, I will contact you right away, there will be no problem!"
"Thank you, Sister Hong. Then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, this guy was still muttering to himself: "Xiehe, it must be Xiehe."
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Union Hospital is one of the best in China.
