"Zhang Yuan, your place is quite cozy."
Boss Cai entered the small courtyard and, like Ma Zhongjun, walked around and praised it.
As expected, the bosses were all polite, but it was this guy with the big beard who was always coaxing me.
No wonder no one answered him later.
“Come, drink tea.” Zhang Yuan made a new pot.
"There's a lot of commotion here, and you even hired a chef..." Boss Cai frowned and thought for a while.
When I asked him out, I only asked him to drink tea, which meant that the meal was not prepared for me.
Boss Cai thought about the news that just came out in the past two days.
Zhang Yuan and Wu Kebo had a secret meeting!
“He has become very popular recently, and it seems that many companies are looking for him.”
Boss Cai thought to himself that his candy man was certainly no match compared to Chengtian.
But we have a basis for cooperation, so we still have to fight for it.
"Zhang Yuan, the copyright of "Sword and Fairy" on Imperial TV has been negotiated and it will be broadcast in a few weeks."
"Congratulations." Zhang Yuan drank tea instead of wine.
“Same joy.” Boss Cai replied with a smile.
"Zhang Yuan, you should know that when we cooperate with artists, we like to cooperate with each other for a long time and develop together."
"This time "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be broadcast by so many TV stations, and the film is booming. It’s just around the corner.”
“The popularity of our sugar people will also increase greatly”
“If you are willing to join our company, you will definitely grow with the company.”
"I guarantee that there will be at least one TV series starring you every year."
One...Zhang Yuan naturally disdains this bargaining chip.
But Boss Cai is still very sincere, so he doesn’t hate it.
There is definitely a difference in sincerity between someone who is willing to give ten yuan to someone with a hundred dollars, and someone who is willing to give ten dollars to someone who has twenty dollars.
Candy people are small in size, which is their limit.
Zhang Yuan naturally wanted to refuse, but he could not damage Boss Cai’s face.
"But you still can't let go of Hu Ge."
"Well..."
Even in a small company, there will be a brother and a sister, and you can't escape this.
I'm coming, Hu Ge is also here, who is the first brother?
Boss Cai was hesitant and silent, Zhang Yuan smiled and hurriedly followed.
"Mr. Cai, we can work together again on the follow-up works of "Sword of Immortal"."
"Besides, my senior sister also needs to be taken care of by you."
"No matter what, we are a family. . ”
Hearing him being so polite, coupled with Liu Shishi’s presence, Boss Cai felt more balanced.
With the brains and character of the young senior sister, if she went to Huayi or Chengtian, she would be eaten dry in less than three days.
It's safer here with Sugar Man.
You can just go and break into the Longtan Tiger's Den by yourself, but she should stay in the safe zone.
"Okay, then let's continue to cooperate."
"But Tangren's door is open to you at any time!"
Cai Yinong treats him decently and is happy He smiled.
The two chatted for more than an hour. When Zhang Yuan's time was almost up, he got up to see off the guests.
After two years of contact, Boss Cai knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to defeat Zhang Yuan, so he left with a sensible smile.
"Mr. Cai, see you next time in Hengdian."
"Okay, I can bring your senior sister to our set to play when you have time."
In the car on the side, the driver passed by As a reminder, the bearded man who was closing his eyes to relax opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuan and Cai Yinong talking and laughing, but their expressions were relatively gentle, and they didn't look like they had just concluded a big deal.
Big Beard, like many conceited guys, prides himself on being a veteran. Judging from his expression, Zhang Yuan and Boss Cai probably have not reached a cooperation agreement.
“Zhang Yuan is a boy with great ambitions and a big appetite. It’s normal for Cai Yinong not to be able to win him.”
Even the bearded man felt that the company Sugarman was honest with Zhang Yuanlao. Too small.
"Boss, do you want to leave now?" the driver asked again.
"Let's go..." The bearded man was about to speak, but then immediately stopped: "Wait!"
It suddenly occurred to him that when he went to Zhang Yuan's house just now, he saw the chef invited in the yard still preparing ingredients. Apparently there was a dinner party.
But now it was almost time for dinner, but Zhang Yuan sent Cai Yinong away.
That means... someone important is coming!
The bearded man turned a corner as soon as he thought about it.
He is a smart man.
And Zhang Yuan likes smart people.
Because the behavior of stupid people is unpredictable, they will have any kind of reaction, and things that go against common sense will happen.
Just like the police handling cases, they are not afraid of serial killings but are afraid of impulsive crimes.
Because one has rules and logic, and one has pure passion, it is difficult to form a logical chain.
The behavioral logic of smart people is easy to predict.
As long as the information conditions are sufficient, it is easy to infer the other party's goals and ideas.
Just like the reason why women are always difficult to coax, it is because they are illogical and unpredictable when they are angry.
There is only one way to deal with this situation, and that is to seize the rhythm and force the other party into your own logic and behavior pattern.
This is why little gangsters are so good at dealing with good girls.
While the bearded man was thinking, two crisp bells came from not far away.
Jingle bell, jingle bell...
It is as crisp as a girl’s singing voice.
“Ah!” The bearded man took a closer look and hurriedly sank down, as if he was afraid of being seen.
At this time, outside the alley, two bicycles were ringing their bells and rushing in.
On each of these two bicycles, one of a middle-aged couple was sitting.
Among them, the back seat of the 28-inch big car that the man was riding carried a fat boy in his teens with a watermelon head and a dull look.
Cai Yinong and Big Beard, who were at the entrance of the courtyard and in the car, exclaimed in their hearts at the same time.
"Wang Jinhua!"
"Hey, Yinong, what a coincidence!" Sister Hua and Dong Zhihua stopped the car, got off the car, and put their bicycles on the road outside the small courtyard. At the base of the wall.
"Oh, it turns out that we are entertaining Wang Jinhua tonight." Boss Cai greeted her with a business smile and thought in his mind at the same time.
"Just give me a cup of tea..."
However, if the person being invited to the banquet is Wang Jinhua, Boss Cai doesn't have much resentment.
The name of China’s number one agent is not earned!
She thought, if Zhang Yuan wanted to hang out with Sister Hua, it wouldn’t be surprising if he didn’t like Tangren.
And in fact, Sister Hua has a personal relationship with Boss Cai, and their relationship is not bad.
Sugar Man also often collaborates with Huajie’s artists.
In other words, because Boss Cai has no generals under his command, he has cooperated with several major companies, including Chengtian, Huayi, Ciwen, and even stars under Rongxinda.
Because of the filming of "New Liaozhai" next year, she has just contacted Sister Hua.
The main reason is that she fell in love with Li Bingbing and wanted him to play the heroine of one of the units.
In addition, there are not many women in this industry, and Sister Hua and Boss Cai have similar ways of treating artists, that is, they particularly love to take care of the artist's private life and make each other feel like family. Feel.
This can be considered a woman's specialty.
“Are you looking for Zhang Yuan?” Sister Hua asked.
Boss Cai is not a fool. He is more thoughtful and excuses himself: "It's the "New Liaozhai" I told you about last time."
"I also want him to He plays the male lead in one of the units. "
"Oh, that's a coincidence. He and Bingbing have just finished filming "A World Without Thieves" together, and they will meet again in "New Liaozhai" in a while. Okay, that's all. It’s an acquaintance.”
The two chatted casually for a few words.
The bearded man in the car was different from Boss Cai. After seeing Wang Jinhua, alarm bells went off in his heart!
He and the Wang brothers were wearing the same pants behind their backs, so they naturally knew about the problems between Sister Hua and Hua Yi.
“Fortunately, I didn’t leave, I saw something important!”
The bearded man waited until one of the two parties outside the car left the alley, and the other party entered the small courtyard, and then urged the driver .
"Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
"Hua Yi, hurry up!"
... On the other side, Zhang Yuan took Dong Zhihua's arm and enthusiastically The family of three were welcomed in.
"Zijian, call someone." Sister Hua patted her son's back.
"Hello, brother."
I call your father Uncle Dong, your mother Sister Hua, you call me brother... The four of us really have different opinions.
Zhang Yuan was not Liu Qianqian after all. In order to take advantage of his seniority, he put the issue of address aside.
"Your yard is great. It's quite open and suitable for practicing." Teacher Dong looked around and praised.
But unlike others who praise the environment and flowers and plants, he is more concerned about whether the space is open and bright, suitable for practicing basic skills.
Sure enough, there are hundreds of people, all of different kinds, each with their own hobbies and preferences.
"Chef Liu, serve!" Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and the kitchen became busy.
"Oh, you're too polite. Let's just have a casual meal, and you made such a big fuss." Teacher Dong straightened his back, feeling that Zhang Yuan was so solemn, and he was quite respectable.
The wife on the side knew it well.
"It's not just for me..."
But I still have to give my man face outside, so I didn't point it out.
Wang Jinhua and Dong Zhihua both graduated from the Huaxia Academy of Opera.
However, Wang Jinhua does not have the appearance and temperament of Yuan Quan and Zeng Li, so she cannot transform into an actress, but it has opened up a new world for her.
"Zijian, what are you drinking?" Zhang Yuan looked at the little chubby boy who was only in his early ten years.
I thought to myself, it would be great to have a mother with great hands and eyes!
Not only is there no shortage of filming, but after his debut, various big names have taken turns supporting him, and he is the crown prince of the imperial circle.
"I want to drink Coke."
"Drink Coke, you are so fat that you can't even do somersaults." Teacher Dong said slightly dissatisfied.
He is a great martial arts student who can fight and jump, so he is naturally dissatisfied with his son's "three layers inside and three layers outside" posture.
"Let's drink juice." Sister Hua glanced sideways at her husband, and then said on behalf of her son.
"It's okay. Fat people are all potential stocks. They will lose weight when they grow up. With Teacher Dong's genes, they won't be able to lose weight." Zhang Yuan played with the kid's pigtails.
There seems to be a saying in the imperial capital that boys will have braids when they are young. This is called the centenary braid, and it can only be removed when they are 12 years old.
"So this is how Guo Feili felt when she played with Shi Xiaolong's braid..."
"You still know how to say it." Teacher Dong picked up the liquor and drank with Zhang Yuan.
Seeing him drinking like this, Sister Hua kicked him under the table.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the little fat Dong Zi saw elbows in one hand and lobster in the other, and his mouth was full of oil.
Dinner party means exactly the opposite to adults and children.
One is for eating and drinking, and the other is using eating and drinking as a cover.
“Okay!”
In the courtyard, when they were enjoying themselves, Zhang Yuan specially played "Farewell My Concubine", which Duan had practiced with teacher Yuan Quan for a long time, to the couple, which attracted continuous applause from the two of them.
"You have improved a lot compared to before!" Teacher Dong could tell at a glance.
And Sister Hua was even more delighted.
“He can do this!”
“He is really versatile.”
Others don't understand, but they are experts who graduated from the Academy of Opera, so why don't they understand?
Although it is still a little short of professional standards, it is already well-organized and has a good charm.
Besides, the opera industry was in decline, and one look at his posture revealed that the two of them had been practicing regularly in private and had become closer to each other.
Although I have no intention of following Sister Hua.
But my family holds half of China's entertainment industry, so there are only advantages and no disadvantages in getting closer.
Moreover, she is Zhang Yuan's final means to stimulate Hua Yi.
"Zhang Yuan, I see you are so young, but you know so much, it is really amazing."
After singing and sitting down, eating fruit, Dong Zijian was alone holding half a The watermelon, which was bigger than his head, was being eaten with a spoon while the other three chatted.
Sister Hua praised first.
However, Zhang Yuan was not yet proud, but Teacher Dong puffed out his chest. The subtext was...
How about it?
The little brother I know is not bad!
Zhang Yuan knew what was going on.
The couple used to be a strong man and a weak woman. Now that Sister Hua has gained influence, she has become a strong woman and a weak man. Teacher Dong's self-esteem needs to be maintained even more.
"Sister Hua flatters me, but I only know a little bit about miscellaneous things."
"I heard that you just joined the Hou family in the cross talk circle?"
"Mr. Hou thinks highly of me."
"Not bad, not bad." Sister Hua saw that he was not arrogant or impetuous. , even more fond of it.
She thought that when Li Bingbing was his age, she seemed to be far less capable and calm than him.
"Zhang Yuan, you should know that a single thread cannot make a thread, and a single tree cannot make a forest..."
Zhang Yuan picked his ears. I have heard this several times today.
It’s the same thing, but Sister Hua is more approachable.
After leading her to talk eloquently for half an hour, Zhang Yuan slowly spoke. One sentence put Wang Jinhua in a dilemma.
"So, you mean, you want me to join Huayi?"
Wang Jinhua:...
Sister Hua feels uncomfortable all over.
How do you say this?
The conflict between Hua Yi and me has not yet been made public.
You can’t tell this kid that you are messing with me and ignore Hua Yi.
Faced with Zhang Yuan's "innocent" eyes, Sister Hua was in a dilemma.
"I'm just making a suggestion."
"I think that a young and outstanding actor like you should carefully choose his future and partners after careful consideration."
Sister Hua has only one idea.
Drag!
It would be most appropriate to wait until you and Hua Yi get to know each other before signing this kid.
"You are very popular now, but at times like this, you have to be more careful when doing things."
"Well, let's not mention who to cooperate with or who to sign a contract with."
"Let me give you some of my personal suggestions first, which are all based on experience."
Sister Hua's routine is to talk about your heart first, and then talk about interests.
Boss Cai is exactly the same as her in this regard.
Sister Hua analyzed the "general trends of the world" for Zhang Yuan in a thoughtful and thoughtful manner, and indeed gave a lot of substantive suggestions.
If he is a fledgling boy, he can really benefit a lot from the other party's words.
“Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading.” Zhang Yuan clasped his fists and thanked me.
“The last suggestion I give you is to shop around.” Sister Hua smiled.
“Don’t rush to sign a contract. Wait and delay, and these companies will continue to increase their bets, and you can get a better contract.”
"If you wake up the person in my dream with just one word, you are my guiding light!" Zhang Yuan stood up to thank him, with an excited look on his face. He had done a great job.
What Sister Hua was thinking was that after procrastination for a long time, these companies lost their patience, and I just entered the market to take advantage.
The dinner party came to an end in a pleasant atmosphere.
Zhang Yuan personally sent the family of three outside the alley before returning.
On the other side, the bearded man has arrived at Xiao Wang's office.
It was already night, and there were not as many people as there were during the day, so there was no need to cover up.
"You just came back from Zhang Yuan?" Wang Zhonglei had this newspaper in front of him.
On one page of the newspaper, there was a photo of Zhang Yuan and Wu Kebo having an intimate conversation.
“It’s not just me.” The bearded man leaned on the office chair opposite Xiao Wang.
“There are many people who have met this boy.”
"There is a horse in the middle."
"There is Cai Yinong."
"And the most important thing." The bearded man leaned forward: "I saw Wang Jinhua!"
If the names of the first few people only made Wang Zhonglei's brows deepen, then the appearance of Sister Hua completely broke his guard.
"Anyone can do it, but not her!" (End of Chapter)
