Internet celebrity boyfriend from heaven

Xu Ze was standing under the Century Film and Television Building with a cup of bitter coffee. After the incident broke out yesterday, he immediately made an appointment with Ren Jingguo.Xu Ze kept the matter of meeting Zhong Yiran a secret, because he hadn't figured out the other party's attitude towards the director.

When Ren Jingguo came, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his face was pale, and his dark circles were extremely obvious.

"Director Ren." Xu Ze stood up straight and greeted.

"Why did you come to me?" After Ren Jingguo asked, he felt that the current scene was wrong, so he said again, "Forget it, let's talk about it in another place."

Ren Jingguo took Xu Ze all the way to a very unremarkable cake shop on the corner of the street: "This is opened by my daughter, so don't worry about outsiders."

"En." Xu Ze responded lightly.

The two entered the store, and just as they were seated, Ren Jingguo bowed his head and said, "I want to say sorry to you for what happened yesterday!"

Xu Ze was silent for a while, then said: "Director Ren is too serious, I don't know how I can forgive me?"

"It's true that we posted the official Weibo post yesterday, but in fact the actors that were cast were not Lu Liqun, Lin Miao...that is, Director Lin. After the cast came back, he discussed with me and decided on Zhong Yiran as the male actor. Lord, Lin Miao also promised that I would inform President Ma and Lu Liqun of the result." Governor Ren Jing sighed, "I trust him too much, but I didn't expect him to directly change the list of reports without telling me."

Xu Ze chose to remain silent about this, but slowly rubbed the rim of the disposable coffee cup with his index finger.

"Yesterday I also asked him if he had been in collusion with someone long ago, but he didn't admit it." Ren Jingguo looked regretful, "Now that the official announcement has been released, and the higher-ups know it, the actor has become a certainty As a director, I must either break the contract and pay a large liquidated damages, or I can only use the current team and continue acting."

"You chose to continue acting." Xu Ze looked straight at him.

"I can't help it!" Ren Jingguo was a little emotional when he heard the other party's words, "Although I have won awards, they are all niche awards. Although the real films I made have a good reputation, they can't match the box office of some funny films in the same period. Compared with brain-burning suspense movies, people nowadays are more willing to watch movies that can bring joy and resonate.”

After hearing so much from him, Xu Ze came to the conclusion that the other party could not afford the liquidated damages.He didn't blame Ren Jingguo, after all, the other party was not only completely ignorant, but also affirmed Zhong Yiran's acting skills.

But since it's a matter of money, it's easy.

"After all, it's a matter of liquidated damages."

"Basically." Ren Jingguo sighed, but when he raised his head, he inexplicably felt that although Xu Ze wasn't smiling, he seemed to be in a good mood, "Teacher Xu has a solution?"

Xu Ze was still thinking about how to make those people more embarrassed, but now he has a simple and direct method.

"It's fine if I break the contract." Xu Ze curled the corner of his mouth and dropped the sentence lightly.

Until the other party walked out of the cake shop, Ren Jingguo didn't come back to his senses. It's good that he breached the contract. Is it such a simple thing?

Less than 5 minutes after Xu Ze walked out, Hua Yong, head of the editorial department, received a text message on his mobile phone.

Xu Ze: Minister Hua, after careful consideration, I have decided to take back the film and television adaptation rights of "Dark River" from Century Film and Television.Regarding the liquidated damages, I will transfer the full amount to your company's account, please help to inform me. In addition, I also resigned from the screenwriting job.

When Hua Yong saw this text message, he was standing in front of Ma Yinglian with Lin Miao. Ma Yinglian had already contacted the photography team to help Lu Liqun shoot the poster of "Dark River".

"Mr. Ma!" Hua Yong shouted in surprise.

Ma Yinglian originally had a smile on her face, but seeing him flustered now, she was not very happy at once: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Xu sent me a text message just now, saying that he wants to accept... Take back the film and television adaptation rights of "Dark River"." Hua Yong tremblingly raised the phone, so that Ma Yinglian could clearly see the content of the text message above.

Lu Liqun, who was coming out after changing his clothes, immediately turned cold: "Oh, is he crazy? A poor writer, take it back if you say it?"

"What about liquidated damages? He has to pay liquidated damages before he can leave?" Ma Yinglian shouted in a sharp voice.

"He said he would pay as usual..."

"How could he afford it?" Lu Liqun couldn't help but sneer, "Did he think the money fell from the sky?"

"But... looking at him like this, it doesn't seem like he's joking?" Hua Yong also felt that it made sense when he heard what they said. After all, when Century Film and Television bought the film adaptation rights of "Dark River", it spent a total of 500 million. If it is true If someone wants to break the contract, the double liquidated damages is exactly 3000 million. How can a book writer get such a large sum of money?

"I really think I'm an onion!" Ma Yinglian kicked off the chair angrily, and grinned her teeth in pain because of the high heels she was wearing, "Go, you go and shoot first, let him make trouble, anyway, the script is in our hands."

Huayong would like to remind aloud that if the other party really can afford the liquidated damages, then their company has no right to shoot any more, and if they shoot, it is an infringement and they will have to go to court.But looking at Ma Yinglian's appearance, he really didn't dare touch the pain of the investors. A movie is indeed the biggest investor.

Standing by the side, Lin Miao always felt uneasy. After all, from the Weibo the night before yesterday to last night, he was doing it all by himself.Although he didn't leave any evidence, but if something happened, he would never run away.

Rubbing her hands together nervously, Lin Miao just wanted to muster up the courage to suggest "should we take it slow first", when Hua Yong's words interrupted him.

"Mr. Ma!" Hua Yong rushed to Ma Yinglian with his mobile phone in horror, "Look at this, he said he is in the boss's office now."

Seeing the text message above, Ma Yinglian felt dazzled for a moment and almost stopped.

Xu Ze: It suddenly occurred to me that there was a delay in the transfer and there was still a limit, so I might as well write a check. I'm almost at your boss's office, so I won't bother Minister Hua.

Lu Liqun, who was preparing to shoot, couldn't stand anymore: "Mom, why don't you go and see it first?"

"What are you watching? If the other party really withdraws the right to adapt the film and television, why should we make it? There is no good script, so we have to hang on to this?" Although Ma Yinglian said so, she was still worried. The matter was planned by her.

From the moment she decided to invest in this movie, she was fully prepared to take the role for Lu Liqun. After all, the director Ren Jingguo is a down-to-earth person, and the novel "Dark River" is also highly praised by readers.The film adaptation of such a novel does not seem to be very difficult, and it is the best springboard for Lu Liqun as an idol singer to become an actor.

But what she didn't expect was that Zhong Yiran, who had never played the male lead, came out to fight for the role.The other party has been acting for so many years, and is highly regarded in the entire film and television industry. As a novice, how can Lu Liqun compare to the other party?

From the very beginning, she contacted Lin Miao, a former employee, and asked the other party to send the script for Lu Liqun's casting in advance, and then found a professional teacher to guide that part of the play. After several days of work Kung fu only performed to the extent of the casting day.

I thought that instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, Ren Jingguo should give himself some face.But he didn't expect that he would insist on using Zhong Yiran, an [-]th-line actor, instead of Lu Liqun, who is now a top traffic idol who is a popular idol.

Ma Yinglian had no choice but to collude with Lin Miao and Hua Yong to get them to agree to use Zhong Yiran as the male lead in front of Ren Jingguo, and asked Lin Miao to post a suggestive Weibo the day before the official announcement.Immediately after the official announcement the next night, Lin Miao notified the list of male and female protagonists under the skin of Weibo. Not long after the official official announcement was made, the suggestive Weibo from the previous day was deleted.Such a series of actions can definitely put the hat of going through the back door on Zhong Yiran's head.

"What should I do when you're gone?" Lin Miao, as a necessary person for "going through the back door", after putting on a bad face, is now on Weibo, just like Zhong Yiran, being abused by Lu Liqun's fans and passers-by who don't know the truth object.

"Isn't the money I gave you enough?" Ma Yinglian gave him a hard look.

"That's not the way to say it!" Lin Miao suddenly felt that he was on the wrong boat, "When the time comes, you will be free, but who else would dare to use me?"

Ma Yinglian glanced at him, ignored him, and pulled Lu Liqun to leave.

"Mr. Ma...where are you...going?" Hua Yong looked at the two people who were about to go out in bewilderment.

"Go to your boss." Ma Yinglian snorted coldly, she wanted to see who had a deeper friendship with whom!

-

"Why did Teacher Xu come here in person?" The middle-aged man sitting on the leather sofa looked at Xu Ze with a smile.

"Uncle, stop joking with me like that." Xu Ze sighed, "If I hadn't been forced to, I really wouldn't have come to look for you."

"What? It's not an adaptation of the novel, are you going to start filming soon?" The big boss of Century Film and Television is Song Qiaotian, who is the brother of Xu Ze's mother.

"Your nephew was just a fledgling, and he was tricked by someone." Xu Ze said, taking out a check with the amount written on it from his pocket, "So now come to pay uncle the liquidated damages, the film and television adaptation of "Dark River" Right, I want to take it back."

A trace of surprise flashed in Song Qiaotian's eyes: "So straightforward? It's not like you."

In the eyes of Song Qiaotian and other relatives, Xu Ze's mother is a very stingy character. When buying a dish, she has to figure out which one has a discount today and which one has a promotion recently. She doesn't want to suffer at all. Qian Na is absolutely unwilling.Although Xu Ze didn't completely inherit this kind of character, he was not much better. He was not stingy with his family members, but he definitely wouldn't be someone with such a big money.

"Really?" Xu Ze asked back, Zhong Yiran's face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile, "From today onwards, I will be very generous."

Song Qiaotian was startled by his nephew's enigmatic smile: "Can you tell me why?"

"Hmm..." Xu Zechang snorted, "In the end, I don't have any solid evidence. I just rely on my intuition. This is the way of 'killing one thousand enemies and harming myself by eight hundred'."

"If it happened in Century Film and Television, it's not that difficult to get evidence." Zhou Jiaoqiao opened the door and walked in, "Liang Cheng called me and asked me for help, but I really didn't expect it... Zhong Yiran Your boyfriend is the nephew of our big boss, you are really a ruthless person pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

The author has something to say: Xu Ze: I really don't have much money.
