Pick up a general at the door of the crew

When Saipan came to look for him again, it was the day after Ji Zhou had just won the Best Supporting Actor award.

"The idea you mentioned before, I thought about it seriously. I will be the director of this movie, but that's all." Saipan's voice became calmer after not contacting him for several years.In the seventh year after the release of "The Disaster of No Generals", Saipan, who transferred to business and inherited the family business, couldn't hold back the seven-year itch of not making movies. "I don't have much time, and I will leave the rest to you."

"...Okay." Ji Zhou, who had been tossed by Wei Zhonghou all night, nodded his head in a daze before his brain could react.

"Don't answer so perfunctorily, you should be clear about my style, if you really smash my brand, you can go to Dubai to move bricks in your life!" Saipan, who revealed his nature in a few words, hated iron and steel Tone, "Perfect perfect perfect! I need absolute perfection!"

"...Okay." Ji Zhou yawned, and leaned on Wei Zhonghou in a comfortable position, "Director Saipan, I've really been thinking about this idea for a long time..."

"I can't think of it now!" Saipan snorted coldly on the other end of the phone, "I can take the whole studio with me, and I won't charge you any money. I won't pay a penny for the rest of the props and actors' remuneration. Come out, I have a script here, if you have any ideas, you can talk to the screenwriter, I'm so busy right now, I hope this matter can give me a satisfactory answer in a month's time."

Wei Zhonghou looked at Ji Zhou who was hung up on the phone, rubbed his waist, "What's wrong with Saipan?"

"It's the last time... When did it happen? Probably after "No General" won the award, I asked him if he was interested in making a gay movie." Ji Zhou rubbed his astringent eyes , "At that time he said he was not interested, he was a bit tired of being a director, and I am afraid he is also tired of being a businessman now."

"But..." Ji Zhou turned around and leaned on Wei Zhonghou, and said with a smile, "Director Saipan really has the nature of a businessman now, he is not willing to spend a penny, general, how much money do you have from your house? "

Wei Zhonghou moved back a bit: "...you said you would leave some pocket money for me."

"The assets in my hand invested in director Rabe's love-hate relationship between penguins and polar bears last time." Ji Zhou poked Wei Zhonghou's abs, "How is it? How much do you have left? According to Director Saipan style, I think we probably not only have to wipe out the family, but also go out to solicit sponsors."

"Are you really going to make a movie?" Wei Zhonghou stretched his waist, "Won the best supporting actor, can you go to heaven?"

"I said Movie King Wei, have you been too arrogant recently?"

Wei Zhonghou raised his hands to show his innocence.

Wei Zhonghou was awarded Best Actor last year. He played a somewhat neurotic soldier who split justice and villain equally. Ji Zhou had a cameo in which he was shot in the head in 3 minutes.

That scene was voted by the Internet as the best movie clip of the year last year. It is brutal and cold-blooded, suitable for all those who want to break up or eat dog food to be irritable.

In the past few years, Ji Zhou has also taken on a few leading roles, and he has indeed won a lot of small awards, but this award almost symbolizes the recognition of an actor's acting skills, and he falls short every time.However, after Wei Zhonghou got it, he was not as eager to make progress as he was when he was young. To use an inappropriate idiom, it probably means, a fox pretends to be a tiger?

Although Wei Zhonghou said that Ji Zhou would take some messy jobs for him every time, he still obediently handed over his private money, and with the accumulation of the past few years, it is no problem to invest in an international blockbuster.

But the director is Saipan, so the money is probably not enough for props.

Ji Zhou called Jiang Qi on the first phone call, straight to the point: "Are you rich?"

Jiang Qi had just had a son, and was teaching him the formulas of multiplication when he answered the phone. He was amused when he heard this: "Are you short of money? This joke is enough to keep me laughing for a year."

"A chance to make a lot of money with you." Ji Zhou took the earphones and gave it to Wei Zhonghou, who was making an announcement to make money to support his family, to make braised pork ribs, "I planned a movie?"

"Oh, have you ever touched a camera and you want to be a director?"

"With a director, I'm considered a half-producer." Ji Zhou didn't quarrel with Jiang Qi, "How much can I produce?"

"That depends on the company's name or my personal name, Da Tianjiao." Jiang Qi let his son play by himself, Ji Zhou was serious, and he also used a business-like attitude, "The company's name actually doesn't give much away. , although we are working hard to develop into film and television, but mainly in music. I was thinking of finding a reason to let Chang Zhao go to HAC. Song Yan gave me the news. I personally can't come up with much , but the risk is small, if you let me pay for it, I don’t have any big demands, just pick up garbage and support my family.”

"Want to know who the director is?" Ji Zhou said with a smile, "Saipan."

"...Damn it! When will your sister sign the contract!"

"I forgot to say before, I didn't expect to get such a sincere confession from you, I was so moved that I was about to cry." Ji Zhou wiped away his tears, and put the chopped onions on the plate.

"Get out! See you at the company tomorrow! Bring the contract!"

Although Jiang Qi got it done here, Ji Zhou knew that as he said, he really couldn't get much out.Think about it when Saipan filmed "The Disaster of No Generals", even if he had a huge investment from HAC, it was only half of Saipan's own investment.

It is much easier to find the new owner HAC to invest in. Wei Zhonghou just mentioned Saipan, and the contract was signed immediately.

Ji Zhou calculated the huge amount in his hand, and sent Saipan with a tentative heart.

It took a long time to get a "Barely OK" from the other party with a smiley face, and the cost of "The Disaster of No General" at that time was attached.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Ji Zhou is stingy or what, because the director is Saipan, which is the signboard of the event. As long as he makes it public, investors will flock to it.

But this kind of good deed Ji Zhou wants to give to relatives and friends more.

When Chen Song called, Ji Zhou was reading the script that Assistant Lin sent him.

When I saw the caller ID, I was stunned for a moment, and by the way, I made sure that the phone I got was for work contact.Ji Zhou glanced at the bathroom door where the sound of water came from, and answered with a soft sigh.

"Hello."

"I'm Chen Song." The tone of the other party hasn't changed for several years, it's very cold, just like talking to an ordinary work contact person, "I heard that you have a movie waiting for investment."

Chen Song came back to Haoqing after he disappeared for a few years after coming out of the closet. This time, his character was much calmer and his tactics were much sharper.It can only be said that Hao Qing has been in the limelight in the past two years, even if he does not have a HAC background, he has barely comparable strength, and Chen Song is completely responsible for it.

It's not surprising that Hao Qing's boss always got the news from somewhere, but it's a bit weird to contact him proactively, and it's hard not to let Ji Zhou think about those things in the past.

"Hao Qing wants to cooperate with you. If you have time, come to the company at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss the contract." Chen Song couldn't hear the meaning of reminiscing, "Of course, the initiative is yours. "

Ji Zhou pointed his index finger at the table. In fact, so many years have passed, and after seeing and experiencing a lot, the so-called emotional things with Chen Song before are just small things now.Apart from personal reasons, apart from HAC, the rest of the domestic brokerage companies is Hao Qing, who is somewhat capable of accepting this investment.

He nodded to Wei Zhonghou who had just come out of the bathroom, and replied to the phone: "Okay, Mr. Chen, see you tomorrow morning."

There was a period of silence on the other side before hanging up.

"Mr. Chen?" Wei Zhonghou squinted at him while wiping his hair, "Which general surname is Mr. Chen?"

"General, you are asking the question knowingly." Ji Zhou stretched his waist and skipped the topic, "I already have an idea about the actor, you think..."

"That little boy?" Wei Zhonghou didn't listen to what Ji Zhou said later, "Is he still in contact with you?"

"I want to find a few acquaintances, take a look, General..."

"Why does he come to you when he has nothing to do?" Wei Zhonghou looked at Ji Zhou's face, "Pry the corner of my wall!"

"... What have you seen in the past two days? I said, general, can you stop being so crazy?" Ji Zhou raised his hand and rubbed his face, and said funny, "He asked me about film investment, Maybe we heard the news from somewhere, we are discussing work issues seriously."

Knowing that the investment in this movie is beneficial but not harmful, Wei Zhonghou snorted coldly: "Little boy, this businessman's head really just slips through the cracks?"

"I'll take a look tomorrow. If it's possible, the investment aspect will come to an end for now. I'll prepare for an audition to find an actor." Ji Zhou smiled and patted Wei Zhonghou on the shoulder, "It's a meaty bone, you can bite into it That's enough to get us started."

But after Ji Zhou saw the contract, he realized that both he and Wei Zhonghou had thought too much.

"This contract?" Ji Zhou looked up in surprise.

It is not Chen Song himself who is in contact with Ji Zhou now, but Chen Song's new work assistant when he went out this time. The young man wears a pair of rimless glasses and when he smiles, he still looks a little bit green when he just walked out of the campus. .Regarding Ji Zhou's accident, he obviously expected it, "This was arranged by Mr. Chen."

This contract, from any aspect, is beneficial to Ji Zhou's side.In particular, there is no need for a box office share, just a name.If he knew that the director was Saipan and there were such regulations, he would really doubt what was going on in Chen Song's head.It's like lending you a huge sum of money unconditionally at a pitifully low interest rate, without even requiring an exact repayment date.

"Sorry." Ji Zhou put the contract aside, "I want to talk to Mr. Chen."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, Mr. Chen is on a business trip today." The assistant smiled and handed over the pen, "Mr. Chen said that it doesn't matter if you don't want to sign this contract, but just from my personal opinion, this contract In the contract, Hao Qing also got what he wanted, such as a reputation on the international stage, a win-win situation."

Sounds right, but...

The assistant didn't say anything, just smiled and held the pen.

Ji Zhou read the contract again, and he was sure that it was a contract that would be stupid if he didn't sign it, and he didn't think about those brain-burning things anymore, he took the pen and signed his name.

After sending Ji Zhou away with a smile, the assistant took off his glasses and threw them on the table, smoothed his neatly combed hair, curled his mouth, flicked the contract with his index finger and walked to the lounge next door.

"I said, you really look like a lover for doing such a thankless thing."

"Win-win."

Chen Song, who was already on a business trip, sat on the sofa in the lounge next door and watched a movie, which was the one that Ji Zhou won the award for.

He was still wearing black suit pants and a light shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and his coat and tie were draped over the other side of the sofa.

"You're lying to yourself by saying that," the assistant walked behind him, put his elbows on both sides of him, lowered his head and said with a smile, "I saw that little lover you can't forget today, she looks really interesting .”

Chen Song frowned: "Stay away from me."

"But that's it." The assistant leaned over slightly, and stretched out his hands to straighten Chen Song's collar, "I don't see at all that he still has any feelings for you."

Chen Song got up abruptly and walked out, "It has nothing to do with you."

"How can it be okay!" The assistant stretched out his hand to grab Chen Song's wrist, clenched it tightly, and then let it go immediately, "After all, I'm chasing you, Mr. Chen."
