Chapter 138 Little John’s surprise! (Please follow up)
Sent Liu Qianqian back home, crossed the lawn to the sun and looked up at the round moon in the sky.
The moonlight shines brightly on the earth, and the night is also beautiful.
This inevitably made Xiang Yang stop and think about something.
“I will support you.”
In a simple word, the bullshit is blown out, but what to do? He has not forgotten that he is still a person who has to pay off his mortgage.
"How about taking on some more private work?" Xiang Yang muttered, but immediately rejected the idea.
With the little money he earns from making clothes for his friends, there is absolutely no problem in supporting himself, but if you want to talk about supporting Liu Qianqian... Even if Liu Qianqian is willing, Xiangyang is not willing to let her wrong him.
In his opinion, for the two of them to reach this point, the other party has paid more than himself.
Not only is it easier for myself, but also...
But what to do to make extra money? That damn broken patent still can’t be sold, really.
When he thought about money, Xiang Yang couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
This little John has no feedback at all after saying this.
“Patent?”
When Xiang Yang mentioned this matter the next day, Little John scratched his hair and said, “I’ll leave it to my dad’s friend to take care of this matter. ”
"..." Xiang Yang was speechless.
Co-authored, this guy is working as a broker.
"You are short of money now? Can't you repay the loan?" Little John asked with concern, pretending to be embarrassed.
"No, I want to earn more money." Xiangyang sighed and said, "Support the family."
"..." Little John's eyes widened and he looked at it in surprise. Xiang Yang: "You're married? No, man, you just married yourself off? You didn't even tell me?"
"Go away." Xiang Yang rolled his eyes at Little John and complained: "You didn't tell me when you got married."
But after he said this, he felt that there was some ambiguity in his words, and he immediately sighed. In a loud voice, he said: "I was prepared early, unlike you."
"Oh." Little John nodded as if he understood.
He heard his wife Laura tell something about Liu, and knew that Liu Qianqian’s income in China was considered a very high-income star.
For this reason, he also specially found "The King of Kung Fu" and watched it. After watching it, he just wanted to say...
"It seems that soft rice is not delicious in China." Little John naturally took out his cigarette, put one in his mouth, lit it and said, "I have said before that the money you invest in is too high." Slow down. Look, you’ve already sunk in, and you’re blind.”
“That’s better than spending all your money on enjoying life,” Xiang Yang replied.
“Actually, Xiang, I’ve also thought about making money recently.” Little John took a few puffs of his cigarette, put it out, and said in the tone of Marlan Brando in “The Godfather”:
"Really, I won't lie to you. Ever since you made money in the movie, I've been thinking about it."
"What's your idea?" Xiangyang fanned the smoke from the tip of his nose and rolled his eyes. other side.
Why does this guy love acting more and more?
"My idea is very good, we can make money while standing."
Seeing Xiangyang's interest, the corners of Little John's mouth slightly raised. He felt that this matter was definitely a scam. Wang Zha, and Xiang Yang definitely didn't notice the wealth this could bring to them.
In order to plan this matter, he put a lot of thought into it. To this end, he also made a series of conversational deductions.
“Say.”
"I am seven and you are three. If you promise, I will tell you."
"You are three and I am seven, forget it if you don't tell me."
"I am six and you are four, this is what I came up with , If you don’t listen, you will be a pretty boy for the rest of your life.”
“Forget it if you don’t say it.”
“…”
After a long stalemate, Little John finally said a lot.
To put it simply, after hearing Little John’s bad idea, Xiang Yang really wanted to open the other person’s head to see if this guy had not eaten walnuts since he was a child and his brain capacity was limited.
He actually tricked himself into resigning!
It took me almost 7 years to get to this point. My father is not a JCE. Why should I resign if I say I want to resign?
Is this guy jealous because he thinks he is going to get mixed up?
No, this guy is just plain stupid. Emma Stone looks too sweet and silly when she smiles. Calling her stupid is just a joke.
But Little John, this guy who looks like a human and a dog, is really brainless.
However... Seeing the other party staring at him with a keen eye, Xiang Yang found that the other party was a little strange today.
"How is it?" Little John saw Xiang Yang hesitate to speak after hearing his business plan, and he suddenly decided to break the silence.
“Not very good.” Xiang Yang shook his head and directly rejected the other party’s proposal, “If you leave Hermes, believe me, Laura will collect your body in two days.”
"It's profitable, Xiang. Look, you've only been busy as a costume director for a few days, and it's 150,000 US dollars. And that assistant art director, look what you've done... In short, I think we both have a lot to do in this area. .
And what I said is to resign when you are done!”
“I’m telling you, John.” Xiang Yang leaned forward as he saw his friend looking back. :
“Actually, I was approached by another movie. Damien’s friend, a director named Darren. He and Natalie Portman were preparing a movie, so I accompanied him. You went to see the ballet. So you said we would be costume directors together. I thought it was a good idea, but I resigned...
John, Hermès is our fundamentals. Don't lose big for small things, understand? ”
“Damn it, Natalie Portman! "Little John's tone was very heavy, as if Xiang Yang was hiding something very important from him, but after seeing Xiang Yang's disgusted expression, he immediately understood that Xiang Yang had taken the bait.
"I knew it. You also want to make this money, haha.
In this way, let's register a company. I went to take the job, and then...then we both stood together and made money! "
Xiang Yang was sweating. How could this guy think of things so easily?
"Xiang, let me tell you something. I've been asking my friends to ask around for a few days, hahaha."
Little John had a cunning look in his eyes, and he excitedly took out the money from his wallet While taking out a book and handing it to Xiang Yang, he said with a smile:
"I spent a lot of effort to find out. Do you really think that every time I go to that set to look for Dou Sen and others? Is there nothing you can do to chat with Juan Fu?"
Putting the book in front of Xiang Yang, Little John said proudly: "Read this book carefully. ITV is planning to film this miniseries. It is said that the outline of the script has been written. Yes, this is where we can shine."
"..."
Xiang Yang was left speechless. He thought to himself that he would be screwed by this guy, and at the same time, he glanced down with an unhappy expression.
But with such a casual glance, he was stunned.
"John, are you...are you kidding me?" Xiang Yang was stunned, his astonished eyes filled with disbelief.
This...this is crazy!
Compared with the surprise in front of me, "Midnight in Paris" is nothing!
"Why am I lying to you? Last night when we came back from Gaultier, I received a call." Little John shrugged proudly and said: "How is it? Is it very challenging? I'll tell you Said, this is tailor-made for the two of us. You know the history and the costumes of this period well..."
Little John pointed at himself and said arrogantly: "I have been following this since I was a child. A bunch of Old Money are together. I can hear the bloody feud in this family, and I have been taught the bullshit etiquette of these families since I was a child..."
There was another round of nonsense, and Xiang Yang listened. His mind was buzzing.
But he knew that there was at least 70% authenticity in Little John’s words.
Just the three-legged table where his father drinks tea every morning can be sold for tens of thousands of euros, and a broken wooden chair can also be sold for 20,000 euros.
As for why he knew the price of furniture at JCE’s house so well...
Because one summer vacation, someone went to Africa to collect the scenery, secretly sold it to pay for travel, and was severely beaten.
"Okay!" Xiangyang stared at the book, with thousands of thoughts in his mind. He could never dream of perfectly replicating this TV series, this era, and this country's clothing culture, "Go and talk. , as long as we talk about it, I will take this job."
"How about you and me, Sanqi?"
"Get out."
...
The whole day, Xiang Yang’s mind was confused.
The surprise brought by Little John really shocked him.
This palace-level TV series is known as the "European Art Palace", especially the perfect restoration of clothing, which can be called the fashion evolution history of European aristocrats.
It...perfectly presents the aristocratic dresscode of that era.
Damn, at that time, Orientalism was prevalent in Europe, just like Paris in the 1920s. Many aristocratic women were keen to wear dresses with obvious oriental elements, not only Chinese, but also neon, Indian, and Arabic clothing characteristics. Follow the style.
I... I must present it perfectly.
As for Little John, after reaching a ‘deal’ with Xiangyang, the smile on his face never stopped.
He has a clear understanding of his own abilities and also understands Xiangyang.
From the very beginning of their acquaintance, he knew that Xiang Yang was a talented person, very talented and ambitious, and the key was that he also had strong hands-on ability. But Xiangyang has a fatal weakness, which is greed!
He was extremely interested in anything related to early Eastern elements.
Always want to prove something.
But there is nothing wrong with it. People who have no weaknesses are the most terrifying.
As the youngest member of the Old Money family who just wants to enjoy life and do something he is interested in doing, he knows very well what he wants and what kind of close friends he wants to make.
No, when Xiangyang takes over the work of this TV series, the money he gets will be enough to open his own store.
When the time comes, Yongteng Xiangyang joins the team...hehe, let him work for him, hahaha.
Just like those old antiques who listen to Xiang Yang bragging every day, does he know what investment is? You know nothing!
He is the one who works for me.
Little John, who was talking on the phone, had an evil smile on his face when he thought of this.
But after chatting with the person on the phone for a while, he frowned again and muttered: "Why didn't I think of this earlier?"
"What did you say, John?" asked the person on the other end of the phone.
"Don't call me John, please call my name, my name is Jean!" Little John thought in his heart, but said humbly: "Dear Mr. Julian Fellowes, I am following Xiang When I was studying in the UK, my favorite films were your "Floating Clouds" and "Valley of Monet".
Please give us some time to complete the production of "Midnight in Paris". After that, we will definitely visit you as soon as possible
You don’t know, Xiang also received a call from Darren Aronofsky today, yes, and..."
Julian Fellowes: "……."
