Chapter 123 For the sake of happiness

"Fang Nan, Fang Dao!"

In the meeting room, Cai Yinong was howling.

Fang Nan, who was separated by a wall, chose to ignore it, so he didn't like to listen to this woman's nagging.

No matter how Zhang Dabezi is in the Beijing circle, and if he is backed by a big company, he can do nothing.

He doesn't want to kneel, how can anyone dare to press his head?
Fang Nan deliberately pretended not to hear, so Cai Yinong had no choice but to cover the microphone, and said to the assistant who did not wink, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and invite Director Fang over."

The little assistant was very helpless.

You two bosses fought, and I became a doormat.

In addition, Boss Cai, you can't wait for a break before training someone. This guy started training before his butt was hot when he came back from abroad, and now he is shy to invite him.

The little assistant walked all the way, slandering the big boss all the way, until he knocked on Fang Nan's door lightly.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Cai asked you to come over."

Fang Nan said angrily, "It's not over, is it?"

Seeing Fang Nan's face was as cold as ice, the little assistant hurriedly explained: "There is a company looking for you to be the spokesperson!"

"Crazy, ask me to be the spokesperson, you have to be more reliable in making up nonsense." Fang Nan felt speechless and was about to close the door.

Finding spokespersons for products is indeed not limited to celebrities, but finding him is too outrageous.

He looks like an ordinary person, and his reputation as a director has been dumped to his grandma's house by Zhou Xingxing and Feng Dapao following the hits of "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves".

It is not blind to ask him, a young director, to be a product spokesperson.

"Boss Fang, you're not making up nonsense! You can go quickly." The little assistant, who was pressing on the door frame with one hand, tried to persuade him.

No way, Fang Nan had no choice but to walk back to the conference room with a puzzled expression.

In the conference room, Cai Yinong stood by the phone and nodded like a pounding garlic.

The National Environmental Protection Agency made a connection and asked Fang Nan to speak for the 5A-level scenic spot Jiuzhaigou.

All of this completely broke the concept of celebrity spokesperson in her mind.

Be it Xiangjiang or the mainland, she has never seen such a thing.

Fang Nan is famous, but not as big as Dacheng.

The turmoil on the Internet is indeed still going on, but it is not possible to ask Fang Nan to be the spokesperson.

She originally thought that some small business wanted to take advantage of Fang Nan's popularity to gain fame, and she was about to open her mouth.

When the other party revealed her identity, she lost her temper instantly.

Not to mention the endorsement fee, even if the company paid for it, Fang Nan had to go, right? Filming and environmental protection are closely related.

No matter what kind of movie you play, you must have scenes of setting off smoke and blasting. Even if you don’t have these shots, you can’t do without environmental protection when you go to a scenic spot to shoot a movie.

There are a lot of twists and turns here, and the company spends a lot of money on it throughout the year.

But if Fang Nan accepts this errand, then there is something to be said.

This starts with the Chinese character!

Therefore, seeing Fang Nan who was kicking cotton mop into the conference room, Cai Yinong hurriedly waved: "Director Fang, hurry up!"

That is to say, the other party wanted to ask Fang Nan for his personal opinion, otherwise, she would have agreed earlier.

"Who is it?" Fang Nan asked curiously as he walked towards the phone.

Cai Yinong covered the phone, and hurriedly said: "Leader of National Environmental Protection, please speak carefully, and answer all requests from the other party."

Fang Nan glanced at Cai Yinong, dissatisfied: "I'm a puppet!"

Cai Yinong was so excited by Fang Nan's words that he almost spat out old blood.

But this time he couldn't offend this stubborn guy, so he suppressed his anger and said in a negotiating tone: "Hey, just do as I say, and agree to whatever the other party says."

After answering the phone, Fang Nan politely said hello, and he couldn't help feeling depressed after hearing that it was true.

If it's a general endorsement, that's fine. If the other party gives him money to show his face, it's a business cooperation and a win-win situation for both parties.

But this endorsement is different. To be a spokesperson for a national scenic spot, you have to be hard on yourself!

This hardness means that it is best not to have stains on the body.

And this happened to be what Fang Nan lacked the most.

It is true that his body seems to be quite clean so far in his life, it is not an exaggeration to say that a leaf has not touched his body, but he is afraid of the future.

He is the kind of person who doesn't care if you are beautiful or not, I don't hesitate to look him in the eye.

But if the beautiful woman ran in front of him and tore off his clothes, he would panic, because there was a high probability that he couldn't help it!
That's why he avoided this endorsement like a snake and a scorpion!

After thinking about it, Fang Nan felt that this endorsement was unacceptable.

If you have the heart, it doesn't matter if you do something, it will not be good if it affects your future happiness.

As a director, what he needs is a low profile. If there are works released, it is fine to be high profile, and it is better to rest with nothing to do.

With this in mind, Fang Nan cautiously turned the corner and rejected the other party.

Finally, to show that I am not looking down on this endorsement.

Rather, he really has self-knowledge and his personal image is not very good. He also promised to shoot a promotional video for the scenic spot for free.

Putting down the phone, Fang Nan walked around Cai Yinong who was staring at him, his eyes were almost flaming.

"When will the money be transferred to me?" Cai Yinong finally opened his mouth when Fang Nan was about to step out of the meeting room.

Fang Nan was puzzled: "What money?"

Cai Yinong shouted: "I paid you to be included in the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild."

The money must be given, Fang Nan nodded and said, "How much?"

"Half a million dollars!"

Fang Nan raised his eyebrows: "Just wait, next year."

Fang Nan agreed, and after Cai Yinong "hummed", he sat back on the chair, behind the angry expression, there was a trace of relief.

Fang Nan wondered, could it be that such a big boss is still greedy for my money?

"Deng deng deng"

Running back to the bedroom, Fang Nan returned to the conference room with the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

"My new film plan for the next year." He put the script in front of Cai Yinong.

Cai Yinong didn't move, and said, "What type?"

"Comedy, besides making money with low-cost comedy these days, what else can it be?" Fang Nan said.

Regarding this, Cai Yinong did not argue with Fang Nan.

At present, the domestic film market is indeed very inclined to comedies, and blockbuster films like Zhang Yimou's "House of Daggers" can earn more or less.

But it has to rely on the foreign film market, and the speed of return is very slow, and small companies cannot afford it.

"The Unknown Man" came first, so there was no need to think too much about whether to invest in Fang Nan's new script, Cai Yinong agreed immediately.

"The production cost has been set? How much will it cost?" She asked Fang Nan.

Fang Nan said with a relaxed expression, "It should be 800 to 1000 anyway."

Cai Yinong was startled: "So much? Your last film "Nobody Knows" was only 400 million. How can a small-budget comedy need such a big investment."

When we got to the point of the conversation, Fang Nan stopped being secretive and showed a bright toothy smile.

"What you said is wrong. Then my last film still had zero pay, and this one can't justify zero pay. A pay of 80 million won't be too much, right?"

"Good guy, I've been waiting here, Fang Nan is really bad!"

Glancing at Fang Nan who ate bee droppings, Cai Yinong rubbed his forehead and shook his hands, "I'll talk about it after I finish reading the script."

In fact, she had been waiting for Fang Nan's next play, thinking that the production cost would not be too high, so she went all out as a sole proprietorship, or only brought in a distribution company.

Unexpectedly, if Fang Nan opened her mouth today, the salary alone would be 80 to [-] yuan, which disrupted all her plans.

"I knew that I was a master who didn't want to lose money, so let's say $3."

In the conference room, Cai Yinong had a headache.
