Finally arrived at the Chaoyang Hotel. At this time, Mao Duoduo and George were in a very embarrassed state.
I was stuck in a traffic jam for more than an hour. In such a sultry weather, even if the air conditioner of the BMW is very good, but being locked in such a small space for more than an hour means that I am not in a good mood.
At that time, Zhang Yibai and Jin Jianlin naturally welcomed him warmly. However, George's bad mood was quickly aroused again by the key sent by the crew.
At that moment, George said angrily: "Director Zhang, our Maomao agreed to star in your TV series to give you face. When staying in a hotel, he actually said that we would stay in a standard room, so this is not very good.
One thing. When did our Maomao not stay in the deluxe room? We have stayed in the presidential suite a lot."
Obviously, George was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. At this time, Zhang Yibai and Jin Jianlin looked at each other, as if that was the case. However, what surprised them at this moment was that the standing
The person who came out to relieve them was none other than Mao Duoduo.
Mao Duoduo looked a little tired and said: "George, forget it, since the crew has arranged it this way, let's just do as the locals do. When I was making the movie, I didn't live in the farmhouse of my fellow villagers."
This statement makes people a little confused. Could it be that Mao Duoduo has changed his gender? It is said that Mao Duoduo is a very famous person, but because he is currently popular, no one touches his bad luck. A storm
The accident was resolved, which made Zhang Yibai and Jin Jianlin very surprised.
After returning to the room, George complained: "Maomao, you are clearly looking down on us. You actually asked us to live in a standard room. When have you ever been treated like this? I heard from the front desk that Ye Ming and that
The newlyweds named Xu all live in deluxe rooms, but they say that we live in standard rooms. Can you endure this?"
Mao Duoduo glared at George fiercely and said with a gloomy face: "Shut up, do you think I don't know? But the contract states that the accommodation is at least a standard room in a Samsung hotel, which the crew did not
We cannot be unreasonable in violating the contract.
But have you forgotten my habit? There are requirements for working hours in the contract. Then you won’t be able to blame me."
First-line celebrities like Mao Duoduo always have some quirks that are difficult for others to understand. Some celebrities like to play mahjong, while others like to limit their working hours.
For example, Mao Duoduo stipulates in his contract that he will not work more than six consecutive hours during the day, and the total time will not exceed ten hours. When filming at night, the working time will not exceed three hours. No filming will be done after midnight.
Of course, when signing a contract with a major international director like Chen Kaige, Mao Duoduo would act based on Chen Kaige's face. Naturally, there would be no such harsh additional conditions. However, in a situation like this,
Zhang Yibai went to great lengths to invite Mao Duoduo to film the movie. Therefore, in such a situation, he must have to accept Mao Duoduo's harsh conditions.
Mao Duoduo thought for a while and said: "Go and find out how much Ye Ming's salary is. If it's less than me, forget it. If it's more than me, then look at how I make them want to die."
George took advantage of the opportunity of receiving the script to chat with several crew members, wanting to know how much Ye Ming's salary was, but he miscalculated and asked several people in a circumstantial manner, but they all said hesitantly that they didn't know.
Later, George finally found someone to ask for the news and immediately reported it to Mao Duoduo.
At this moment, Mao Duoduo said with a stunned look on his face, "What? You said Ye Ming didn't get a penny? That's impossible. Do you think he is a living Lei Feng, helping out voluntarily? He is stupid."
George swore and said: "Maomao, there is absolutely nothing wrong. That guy is the producer's brother-in-law. I gave him a thousand favors, so he told me this news. It's true, that guy has seen the contract.
It’s true that I didn’t get any money.”
At this time, Mao Duoduo's eyes flashed with a fierce look and said: "Ye Ming, you can't blame me now. This is your own death. You actually dare to break the rules. Okay, I'll let you see."
, what will happen to people in this circle if they break the rules.
Didn’t Ye Ming have a feud with the people at [Southern Sunday]? You go find someone to tell the people at [Southern Sunday] such news, I think they will be interested in such a thing."
The next day, the crew officially started filming. Although it was not a big production, several media were invited. After all, the starring role in this drama is Ye Ming, a popular idol, a mainland singer who won the title of king in the first battle, and another veteran
Celebrity Mao Duoduo participated, therefore, it attracted interviews from more than a dozen media.
At nine o'clock in the morning, almost all the crew members arrived, and reporters had been waiting aside for a long time, seizing a favorable position to wait and see.
However, at this time, Mao Duoduo did not arrive.
At this time, the media in the audience couldn't sit still. A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, how did you do it? We haven't all arrived yet. Do you think we, the media, are not being taken seriously?"
."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in this way, many people immediately agreed.
Zhang Yibai immediately stood up and comforted everyone with a smile, saying sorry again and again, and explained: "Everyone, I have sent people to see it, and there will be news soon. Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. Mao Duoduo may be delayed by something.
Already."
After a while, Song Wen came over quietly, called Zhang Yibai aside and said: "Director Zhang, something is not good. Mao Duoduo's agent George said that he took a long flight yesterday and didn't get a good rest at night, so
, my body is a little tired, so I will not participate in the power-on ceremony."
Doesn’t this discredit the crew?
Hearing this, Zhang Yibai's face suddenly turned ugly. Looking at the twenty or so media in the audience, most of them came for Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo. Now Mao Duoduo said he was not feeling well and would not come.
Where should he put his director's face?
When this spread spread, people knew that it was Mao Duoduo who was playing a big role, but those who didn't know thought that Zhang Yibai didn't have enough control over the crew.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yibai glanced at the reporters who were waiting very anxiously, sighed and said: "Forget it, without him, there would be no him. Fortunately, there is Ye Ming, so this matter should not be too much trouble."
of."
After stabilizing his emotions, Zhang Yibai tidied his suit, walked up to the podium, and then said solemnly: "Dear colleagues in the media, thank you all for coming to the opening ceremony of [Carry Love to the End]. Now, the opening ceremony
Officially begin."
However, the media is not that easy to fool. There were quite a few reporters coming to target Mao Duoduo this time. For example, the reporter who just asked that the crew fooled them is a close relative of Mao Duoduo.
The so-called guanxi household means that a star is familiar with a reporter from an influential media. This reporter can easily get first-hand information when interviewing the star. If the star has something that needs the help of the reporter, the reporter will
We will also try our best to help.
Even if this is a related household, it is also called a vested interest alliance.
Some people in the circle vividly call this kind of relationship an awkward relationship. So when the reporter saw that Mao Duoduo didn't show up, he immediately stood up unhappily and said: "Director Zhang, you won't fool us like that, right? Say yes.
You invited Mr. Mao Duoduo to come, why didn’t we see Mao Duoduo? Could it be that your crew didn’t invite such a big shot?"
Zhang Yibai understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. This reporter must have said that his relationship with Mao Duoduo was unusual. It should be an awkward relationship with vested interests. However, people like this often have great influence.
Yes, otherwise celebrities would not choose to cooperate with reporters like this.
At that moment, Zhang Yibai cleared up his thoughts and said: "Journalist friend, Mr. Mao Duoduo has already entered the crew to report yesterday, so he has no intention of lying to fool everyone.
However, Mr. Mao Duoduo came here yesterday to catch a flight and did not have a good rest at night. Therefore, he felt a little uncomfortable and did not come over. Our crew did not mean to fool everyone."
Although such an answer was unsatisfactory, originally the reporter was not looking for trouble. He knew that the protagonist today was not him, but a reporter from Southern Sunday, so he sat down angrily, as if
It means that you are somewhat unconvinced.
At this time, a female reporter stood up and said: "Director Zhang, I am a reporter from [Southern Sunday]. What I want to ask is, how much is Mr. Ye Ming's price for starring in this play? I heard that Mr. Ye Ming's
The price quoted has reached 8,000 per episode, which is close to those of the best actors and actresses. I want to know what his price is this time.
Because according to my understanding, Mr. Ye Ming's price for starring in this drama is quite surprising." This matter is considered a relatively sensitive topic. Generally speaking, the media and the crew have a tacit understanding, and reporters generally will not take it lightly.
Questions like this, otherwise I would have forged a deadly feud with the crew.
But if the media is big enough and the reasons are sufficient, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
Obviously, the brand [Southern Sunday] is strong enough.
Moreover, the reason of this female reporter is also very sufficient. I only verified it after getting the information, and it did not break the tacit understanding between the media and the crew.
