Chapter 298: Favorability 50! (Big chapter, thanks for the tip!)
Find Li Shurui to borrow the car. Jiang Chen, who had not eaten dinner, drove the Panamera and left Dongtunghai University.
The appointment time for the interview with Pei Yunxi is today.
“Have you set off yet?”
On the way, Jiang Chen called Shi Qianqian while driving.
After all, today he is just a vassal, and this aunt is the real owner.
“A meeting was suddenly added temporarily, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come for the time being.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown.
It’s really hard work.
Everything had been agreed upon in advance, but something went wrong at the end.
"Miss Pei may have already set off. You are not going to let others go, are you?"
"Isn't there nothing I can do? I didn't mean it. I didn't know about the sudden announcement. "
Miss Shi's voice also showed helplessness,
"You are the princess of Jinhai, can't you make up a reason to turn down the meeting?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"I can't refuse. My dad asked me to attend the meeting by name. What reason should I give? Unless you want my dad to know that we are trying to pry him into a corner."
Jiang Chen suddenly Speechless.
Shi Xixi breathed out, "There is no other way. In this case, you can only talk to her first. I will seize the time and finish it as soon as possible and rush over."
It doesn't seem to be the case. Other options.
“Okay.”
Jiang Chen could only say.
The phone hangs up.
He put down his cell phone and while driving, he couldn't help but think of what Li Shao said about the victory of culture.
Originally, after spending US$300 million, he didn’t care at all about the success or failure of the movie.
But now, it seems that we can no longer be so irresponsible.
As the first "wall-breaking film" starring an Eastern actor, this film is of great significance.
Just like "The Wandering Earth", it originally opened the door to Chinese science fiction movies, but it was followed by a certain fortress, and it was hard to open this door by its own efforts. It's closed again.
So far, no one dares to try it again.
The situation I face is the same.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt as if history had patted him on the shoulder.
This movie doesn't have to be good at the box office.
However, it must not be a bad movie.
The agreed place with Pei Yunxi was at a high-end restaurant.
The appointment time was at 6:30 in the afternoon. Jiang Chen had deliberately made it half an hour early, but when he walked in, Pei Yunxi was already sitting there.
A person.
I didn’t bring any assistants or bodyguards.
There are some elegant murals on the wall of the box, which are probably worth a lot of money, but in front of this actress, all the colors were taken away in an instant.
Even though I have seen him many times, as soon as Jiang Chen entered the room, his eyes were still attracted involuntarily.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
What's more, she is a stunning beauty who conquers men all over the country.
"Miss Pei, I'm sorry, I'm late..."
"It's not half past six yet."
Pei Yunxi replied simply, calmly, mixed with A hint of humor.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
What an atmosphere is set for, this is it.
This restaurant is different from ordinary restaurants. There is no lobby in the traditional sense. It only has individual small boxes, which greatly ensures the cleanliness and privacy of the environment. It must be for some high-end people. Level of guest service.
“Where is Miss Shi?”
After Jiang Chen sat down, Pei Yunxi asked.
"She has a rather urgent meeting at the moment, which may take a little time, but she has given me full authority, Miss Pei, we can talk first without affecting it."
Jiang Chen Continue to explain quickly,
Pei Yunxi nodded to express his understanding.
"Do I need to wait for her to eat?"
"No."
As for when Shi Qianqian's side will be over, Jiang Chen has no idea at all, so naturally he doesn't Maybe he asked Pei Yunxi to starve with him, "Let's eat first."
Pei Yunxi was not polite and informed the waiter to serve the food.
Celebrities are also human beings, and they also need food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, the special nature of their profession makes it impossible for them to show up like ordinary people. Places like this restaurant are meant to serve people like them.
The waiters here are all experienced people and have received professional training and will not make a fuss.
"Miss Pei, if you have any conditions, you can put them forward now, and we can communicate first."
Jiang Chen is cheerful, and Pei Yunxi is not a shy person.
Besides, I am here today just for negotiation.
"First, I don't accept long-term contracts."
She is straightforward and straight to the point.
"Ms. Pei, how many years do you think the contract should be signed for in the first step?"
Jiang Chen asked further without changing his expression.
Of course he has never been exposed to this industry before, but he still understands some basic rules, and after chatting with Thomas Felson, he also gained a lot of knowledge about the film and television industry .
"Two years."
Pei Yunxi looked at the dazzling array of dishes, her red lips parted and closed, "If the cooperation is happy, you can continue to renew the contract."
As for the supplement Of course, this sentence is just a scene statement.
After all, the reason why she "changed the family" this time was just to find a safe haven.
Once the pressure from Shi Zhenhua is relieved. She will no longer rely on others.
If she didn't feel that the purpose was too strong, she would even propose to sign it once a year.
“Yes.”
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed quite readily.
In fact, artist contracts usually start at three years, and five years is the norm. As for some newcomers, the contract given to them by the entertainment company is equivalent to a contract of betrayal. After signing, they can't think of changing jobs.
But if you become famous, the situation will improve. The company will modify the contract terms as appropriate to achieve a win-win situation in a certain sense. Of course, if the artist takes advantage of the situation, he can only take another path.
Litigation.
Pay liquidated damages, terminate the contract and leave.
Situations like this are common in the entertainment industry.
Although it was a bit unexpected, Pei Yunxi was naturally happy to see the result. Now that the first step was agreed upon, he would naturally move on to the next step.
“The next step is to divide the problem.”
In business, the division of interests is always the top priority in the business field.
This time, Jiang Chen was very proactive and quickly threw out a number as if Shi Qianqian had already given him the price before the other party made a bid.
“Three-seven.”
Pei Yunxi shook his head, “Too low.”
Jiang Chen looked at that touching face.
“Twenty-eight, this is the limit I can strive for.”
Pei Yunxi’s eyes moved.
"You mean, I am eight?"
Jiang Chen asked strangely: "Otherwise?"
"..."
Pei Yunxi fell silent.
Even in Mo Cai, after so many years of relationship, she only got 50%. The contract extension given by Yang Ni only increased this ratio to 60%.
Seeing her silence, Jiang Chen couldn't help but said: "Miss Pei, aren't you satisfied yet?"
Of course he didn't care about the proportion.
But.
Acting requires a complete performance.
If he said that all the income would go to you and the company would not take any of it, Pei Yunxi would not only not appreciate it, but would also treat him as a lunatic.
This is opening a company, not a charity.
"Are you sure Miss Shi will agree to this condition?"
Pei Yunxi asked noncommittally.
"Miss Pei, since I dare to sit here and talk to you, I naturally have the consent of Miss Shi. To be honest, I will also have shares in this film and television company that is about to be established."
Pei Yunxi His eyes fluctuated.
She seemed to finally understand why this young man was so concerned about this matter.
“Ms. Pei, don’t get me wrong. Miss Shi and I are really just friends. Actually, I have a relative who worked as a nanny in the Shi family. I didn’t say that I watched Miss Shi grow up, but I did take care of her. I have known her for a long time, and Miss Shi is a grateful person. Because of this relationship, she..."
Pei Yunxi finally realized.
That makes sense.
"The third condition is that I have the right not to participate in all social activities outside of work, such as banquets and dinners..."
"Of course, the lady who implemented it is also disgusted. Such an occasion."
Jiang Chen nodded and continued to listen.
But Pei Yunxi didn't know what to say for a while.
This doesn't look like a business negotiation. It feels like she's asking for a price unilaterally.
"...Doesn't Miss Shi have any conditions?"
She couldn't help but ask.
"Miss Pei, how is your English level?"
Jiang Chen replied inexplicably.
Pei Yunxi was caught off guard and couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
“What’s wrong?”
She subconsciously asked.
"That's right, we have prepared a film contract. As the first project after the establishment of the company, we may need to cooperate with foreigners, so Miss Pei, it will be more convenient if your English level is passed."
Pei Yunxi felt more and more jumpy.
This company hasn't been established yet, and she hasn't agreed to join yet, so how come the movie projects have already started?
“I passed CET-6.”
Although it was baffling, she still answered.
“…”
Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly.
Okay.
He just heard that some celebrities have relatively low levels of education.
"Miss Pei, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay."
Of course Pei Yunxi wouldn't mind such a trivial matter, and asked with a little curiosity: "You You want me to star in the movie you just mentioned?”
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded and said unabashedly: "Actually, the company currently has only one artist, Miss Pei."
Pei Yunxi was speechless for a moment. Be true to your word.
“Let’s eat first.”
She picked up the chopsticks.
Jiang Chen is indeed hungry.
"Can I ask, what type of movie is it?"
Pei Yunxi asked while eating.
"I don't know yet. It's mainly Miss Shi who is negotiating, but it must be a big production. Don't worry, Miss Pei." Jiang Chen pretended to be dumbfounded appropriately.
"Cooperating with foreigners? Not a Chinese film?"
Pei Yunxi understood what he meant.
Jiang Chen’s chopsticks paused for a moment.
Although he wants to do his part and make some contribution to the cultural output of the East, he is not naive enough to dream of reaching the sky.
Nowadays, the international community does not accept even Asian starring actors. How can it be possible to accept Chinese-language films?
Rome was not built in a day.
The road must be walked step by step.
"Thomas Felson."
Pei Yunxi couldn't help but be startled when he heard this name.
Jiang Chen continued: "Miss Pei should have seen him, right?"
Pei Yunxi turned his head and frowned slightly.
"I've seen it."
"Then Miss Pei should also know why he came to the country this time."
Of course Pei Yunxi understands.
As Yang Ni said, perhaps Thomas Felson's trip to the East is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime or even unique opportunity in her life, but she has decided to give up.
Not everything in this world can be satisfactory.
Some things are destined to not be obtained, and they are destined to learn to give up.
"Director Fei said that your image, Miss Pei, perfectly fits his imagination of the Oriental Beauty. In his mind, you are the person who best embodies his work."
Listen At this point, Pei Yunxi still doesn't understand what it means?
With her ability to control emotions, Rao couldn't help but look shocked.
"But that movie wasn't Shi Dong..."
"It was before."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "But now, it's not anymore."
Pei Yun Of course Xi is not stupid, and has already heard the clues, "You mean, Director Fei wants to cooperate with Miss Shi?"
Although they are father and daughter, Pei Yunxi understands that Thomas Felson chooses Shi Zhenhua or Choosing Shi Xixi, at least for her, they are two completely different concepts!
If it were Shi Zhenhua, no matter how rare this opportunity was, she would never be greedy.
But if it was Miss Shi, it would be different.
“Yes.”
Jiang Chen nodded and looked at the stunning actress who was once out of reach.
"Ms. Shi is showing great sincerity this time. This is the first international blockbuster starring an Oriental, which is her meeting gift to you, Miss Pei."
Pei Yunxi's eyes suddenly trembled in disbelief.
She really couldn’t understand how the other party did it? !
Perhaps also understanding the shock of this news, Jiang Chen continued to add: "Miss Pei, I'm not joking. Director Fei has reached a preliminary consensus with Miss Shi and has already selected locations in China. We will be filming soon. I will return to China, and then this movie will be put on the agenda."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "So, Miss Pei, you can start making preparations."
Pei. Yun Xi held her chopsticks and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Thomas Felson.
A world-renowned Hollywood director.
No actor can remain calm in the face of such an opportunity.
Jiang Chen was not surprised by the other party's reaction.
This is also the trump card he prepared.
If before visiting Thomas Felson, he was only 70% sure that Pei Yunxi would agree to join, now he is 100% sure!
A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.
No matter how "maverick" Pei Yunxi is, at least he is still serious and persistent in his career as an actor.
In fact, vanity exists in everyone.
It’s just that the expression is different.
Ordinary people pursue brand-name luxury goods.
Some people pursue standing on a higher stage.
Jiang Chen continued to pick up food as if nothing had happened.
"If it's really like what you said, you can ask Ms. Shi to prepare the contract."
Pei Yunxi also started eating again.
Jiang Chen calmed down and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, picked up the water glass, and replaced the wine with tea.
"Miss Pei, on behalf of Miss Shi, let me say in advance that we will be happy to cooperate."
Pei Yunxi also smiled slightly, picked up the water glass and clinked it with him.
“From now on, I’ll take care of you.”
Jiang Chen was startled, then smiled.
Although the real host did not come, the atmosphere was quite good, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
"Miss Pei, I'm going to the bathroom."
Pei Yunxi nodded,
When Jiang Chen opened the door and walked out of the box, he only heard "ding" "A sound.
【Pei Yunxi’s favorability towards you +10】
Jiang Chen paused slightly and gently closed the door without changing his expression.
With sincerity, gold and stone will open.
As long as you persist in your efforts, you will eventually be rewarded.
Sometimes, good feelings don’t need any earth-shattering events, it may just be some small and silent details that moisturize things.
It’s like growing in love over time.
Maybe you don’t even realize when you started falling in love with the other person. But the moment you react, you will suddenly realize that without even realizing it, the other person is already so important in your heart.
The favorability level has climbed to 50.
Jiang Chen was neither arrogant nor impatient. He washed his hands, took out his cell phone, and called Shi Qianqian again.
Although he had basically reached an agreement with Pei Yunxi, it would still be rude after all if Shi Qianqian, the rightful owner, did not show up.
It has been an hour since his last phone call. The meeting should be over, right?
The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered.
"Why aren't you here yet? We've almost finished our meal."
"We just finished the meeting, come right over."
You can hear footsteps.
Shi Xixi over there just walked out of the company.
"I've almost finished talking to her. If you say a few more words, the matter is basically done. Hurry up."
Heh.
Only a fool would refuse such a big pie.
Shi Qianqian sneered disapprovingly, but still did not target Jiang Chen.
“Thank you for your hard work. If there is no traffic jam, it will take me about half an hour.”
"Well, drive carefully."
Miss Shi, who had just finished the meeting, felt warm in her heart, "You have a conscience."
"Hang up."
Jiang Chen hung up the phone and walked out of the bathroom.
At the entrance of Jinhai Building, under the dim sky, Shi Xixi put down her mobile phone, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and her steps towards the parking lot seemed to become brisker.
"If you want to practice peerless martial arts, you have to endure pain that is unbearable for ordinary people. The tea that the master likes to drink is called oolong, and he likes to wear red clothes..."
Miss Shi Driving into the main road, I hummed and swayed to the music.
If Jiang Chen, who abides by traffic regulations, was sitting next to him, a dangerous driving warning would be indispensable.
She really didn’t mean to break the appointment, but the military project had already been launched and the project department was planned to be established. Her father had to let her observe the whole process. She didn’t understand anything and could only use her ears to listen and do what she wanted. Records, just like a secretary.
“I use Tai Chi with my left hand, stab my body with a sword in my right hand, sweep my legs, which is called Qingxue, and my Qinggong Feiyan...”
After listening to the meeting for nearly an hour, she was very dizzy, but now Miss Shi suddenly seemed to be in high spirits, humming and bouncing her head along with the music.
Fortunately, she didn’t learn the lines or tricks.
Miss Shi, who was in a light mood, did not notice that behind the rearview mirror, a Tesla was mixed in the traffic, following her not far or near.
In fact, if she was a little alert, it would not be difficult to find that this car had actually been following her for several days.
The atmosphere inside the Tesla was not that cheerful, it was lifeless. The owner didn’t play any music, he just stared straight at the AMG in front of him and turned left and right with her.
Some people are born with morbidities.
There are also some people whose pathologies are caused by the environment.
A young and promising young talent seems to have turned into a stalker. If Miss Shi saw the sinister look in his eyes at this time, she would be frightened.
Because he changed to Qingshui Yamen, and he was an executive at the deputy director level, during this period, Chen Zhou got rid of the irregular and high-load work status before, and every day he outperformed people in other departments Get off work first.
But after get off work, he would not leave. He would always sit in his car, find a hidden position, and stare at the AMG parked in the "No. 1 Seat".
After one day, two days and three days, it gradually became a habit.
He had to find out where the other party went and what he did at night.
“Dingle bell…”
The phone rang.
Chen Zhou put on his Bluetooth headphones.
"Hello."
"Are you... coming tonight?"
A low and gentle voice came from the other side.
It’s Meiko.
Recently, after following Shi Qianqian, he would go to the izakaya to drink and vent.
Meiko, on the other hand, accepted everything, gave and asked, and would never resist no matter how roughly she was treated.
Shi Qianqian worked overtime today, which delayed him too.
“Come, wait for me.”
From the initial fear to now becoming accustomed to it, Chen Zhou no longer feels that this is a crime. Because of Meiko’s obedience, he can safely regard it as a crime. A tool for venting.
At the same time, Meiko's obedience also made him realize more deeply that women are bitches!
The better you treat her, the more self-righteous she will be!
On the contrary.
If you are cruel to her, she will become more obedient to you and surrender at your feet!
It’s the same as taming pets!
Meiko didn’t dare to say anything more. After learning that he would come tonight, she hung up the phone,
"He hasn't mentioned taking you back yet?"
Izakaya.
A man also wearing a kimono looked at Meiko who put down the phone.
Meiko shook her head, all weakness and gentleness disappeared, and said in a cold voice that Chen Zhou had never heard before: "This guy is a pervert."
"Men are like this. "
The kimono man replied nonchalantly.
Miko glared.
"That's easy to say, aren't you the one who was abused?"
The man in the kimono smiled.
"Miko, you are a professional who has received rigorous training. You should not be unable to bear this."
Meiko was silent for a moment, and Senhan's anger subsided instantly.
“But, is it worth it?”
This ability to control emotions is really terrifying, not like a little waiter.
"It's worth it."
The man in the kimono nodded calmly.
“Jinhai Industrial is a leader among private enterprises in China. Its market value has long exceeded 100 billion, and it involves important fields such as energy, minerals, transportation, and machinery manufacturing. This Chenzhou has served as a director of Jinhai. Secretary, if you can infiltrate him, you should know the effect."
Miko did not speak.
"Okay."
The kimono man comforted: "If we have to suffer for a while longer, when we can get in touch with higher-level people, then he will lose his effect. I will You promise, when that time comes, I will hand him over to you, and I won’t care what you want to do with him.”
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Meiko’s eyes, and then quickly dissipated, and quickly returned to her weak self. The image of a charming waiter.
She picked up the tray and served the wine again.
