my wife is a showman

Chapter 93 The Troubled Old Aunt

The producer of "Doctor Intern" is called Guangying Culture, which is considered to be a relatively rich film and television company in the industry, with a current market value of 300 billion.

There are also many big-name stars under its umbrella, stronger than Huatian Film and Television, and it is also the biggest investor in this show.

The office is very luxurious, and I rented a three-story office building in the downtown area.

Because Shi Shi came in person, the producer Ren Hongwen naturally had to receive him in person, the two were considered colleagues in the past.

He looked at the contract and glanced at Xu Lang.

"Shi Shi, your asking price is too high. The maximum price for this role is [-]. You directly ask for [-]. That's way over budget."

"Old Ren, don't you look at Xu Lang's popularity now." Shi Shi laughed.

"I know he's been very popular these days, but he's a newcomer after all, and he doesn't have any works, so he can't open his mouth like a lion."

"Old Ren, you read it too..."

As soon as Shi Shi spoke, Ren Hongwen's phone rang, and it was Ma Ke's mother.

"Hi, Xiao Ren."

"Sister Jiang, what's the matter?"

"Is there a supporting role in your show named Xu Lang?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Ren Hongwen looked at Xu Lang, then covered the microphone and pointed outside.

"I'm going out to answer the phone."

When Shi Shi nodded, he glanced at the name and knew who it was, with a puzzled face.

I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell why.

Although Ma Ke's scandal was a bit embarrassing, it is perfectly normal for celebrities to hype each other up.

The two idol stars of the Ma family should understand this truth and not embarrass Xu Lang because of this.

Xu Lang had already seen Shi Shi's concerns, so he leaned into her ear and asked softly: "What's wrong, senior sister?"

"It's okay, Ma Ke's mother called. She holds shares in Guangying, so it should have nothing to do with you." Shi Shi replied.

Xu Langke heard Tang Sinuo talk about the attitude of Ma Ke's parents, and the word he used at that time was furious.

So he was worried that his drama would go off the rails. Variety shows would become famous and make money quickly, but as an actor, he must have works.

His role in this drama is only five or six episodes. As long as the filming goes smoothly, it can be completed in one week. He earns tens of thousands a day, so he must take it.

"Start the scanning function, scan the object, Ren Hongwen."

After Xu Lang finished speaking, he looked at Ren Hongwen outside the glass wall. The system was continuously scanning.

"Sister Jiang, it's not that serious. Ma Ke and he are just speculating on the scandal, and you still take it seriously."

Ren Hongwen was a little speechless, Sister Jiang came from a family of performers, is this a nonsense?
"You can't say that. Think about it, the scandal was not clarified originally, and Ma Ke was so proactive. The program was aired last night, and the response was huge. It was a flirting scene. What do you think? Now To get together to film dramas, isn’t it a real thing.”

"It's not true if it's fake, and the audience is not stupid. Your family, Ma Ke, is a big star. What do you like about him?"

Ren Hongwen still wants to sign Xu Lang, but he thinks the price is too high, and he might be able to get a lot of speculation when he plays with Ma Ke.

"I'm afraid that the people who eat melons are too enthusiastic. Don't I understand this? If there is any real affection, then my Ke'er will be ruined. This Xu Lang, I feel bad when I look at it, what? Messy people, they all go to showbiz."

The old aunt knew how to perform, but Xu Lang made her sleepless and unable to evaluate objectively.

She doesn't care at all whether Xu Lang is talented or not, as long as her daughter's reputation is clean, because she is not young, it is best to marry into a wealthy family at the age of 30.

In the past, Ma Ke was involved in scandals or falling in love, so at least his age group was on the same level.

In the old aunt's mind, looking for a daughter is like negotiating the price with the producer. You can only go up, not downhill. Once downhill, it seems to depreciate.

"I really can't help it. Xu Lang auditioned with the main creator, and now it's too late to re-select someone. I'm just negotiating a price."

"I'll talk to the director and President Wu. You can just find someone else. If it doesn't work, let my old man play a guest role. The salary is fine."

"You'd better discuss it with Ma Ke first."

"This kid is stubborn. Forget it. If you're afraid of taking responsibility, I'll go say hello to your boss. Why is it so difficult to change to a supporting role?"

"Okay, I'll listen to the boss."

"You haven't signed the contract yet?"

"I'm about to sign it."

"Oh, then I have to hurry up, hold on to me, or don't say I'm making a small report in front of your boss."

Ren Hongwen hung up the phone and sighed.

Xu Lang quickly analyzed the content of his conversation just now, calmed down, and thought about what to do.

He sent Hu Haifeng a message.

"When will you come to Jingzhou?" Xu Lang asked.

"The air ticket the day after tomorrow, how is Chen Ge's performance?" Hu Haifeng immediately returned.

"It's okay. I'm working harder than I thought. We'll have a chat when you come over."

"it is good."

Ren Hongwen sat on a chair, looked at the contract, pressed his ballpoint pen, and said, "How about I ask the boss for instructions."

"What are you asking for? A small role with a salary of hundreds of thousands, do you still need to ask for instructions from Director Tian?" Shi Shi asked.

"There's a little problem." Ren Hongwen whispered.

"It can't be the call just now, who is calling, the Ma family?"

"Well, there are too many for me to say. You know the relationship between their family and Director Tian."

Shi Shi made a face, crossed her hands, and said angrily: "Does the entire Jingzhou City belong to her family? It's too much to bully others. There are so many people auditioning, and they are selected at a special meeting. It's just a child's play."

"Keep your voice down, why don't you make a phone call and talk to Director Tian?" Ren Hongwen asked.

"Row."

Shi Shi sighed and reluctantly called Tian Guangye, chairman of Light and Shadow Culture.

After waiting for a while, the other party did not answer.

"Why didn't Director Tian answer my call? It wouldn't have been..."

Shi Shi hung up the phone and threw the phone on the table. She was very annoyed when an automatic reply text message came.

"Sorry, I'm on a business trip abroad, please leave a message on WeChat if you need anything."

"Director Tian seems to have gone to Hollywood to discuss cooperation."

Xu Lang opened the chat history with Hu Haifeng on the phone, pushed it to Ren Hongwen, and said, "Mr. Ren, who is this, do you know?"

Ren Hongwen only knew Hu Bian, but had never met Hu Haifeng.

"Hu Bian's son, we are friends now." Xu Lang explained.

"Friend? Didn't you drink his father to death?" Ren Hongwen asked.

"That was an accident, but for the entire crew, I know Hu Haifeng. The 2000 million advertising fee has a lot to do with me."

Ren Hongwen looked at the chat records between the two of them, and they seemed very familiar.

"What do you want to say, if I remember correctly, he is here to arrange for Chen Ge?" Ren Hongwen asked.

"That's right, but Chen Ge is my apprentice and he lives in my house now. You can think about how much he trusts me." Xu Lang took the chicken feathers as an arrow and continued:
"Besides, I may be a guest in "The Cultivation of an Actor" next year. Commander Chen has already verbally promised me that "Intern" will start broadcasting next year. It would definitely be a loss for the crew if I don't sign me. You have no responsibility, after all, I was not chosen by you."

"Mr. Tian is in a meeting abroad. I believe that Ma Ke's mother has not been able to get through the phone. You have signed with me now. What can she do with you?"

"It's an agreement between us, and she is at most a favor. I don't think such a big figure as Director Tian should blame you for this."

Xu Lang's analysis was straightforward.
