They all say I'm a good wife

Chapter 205

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished the meeting, she immediately called Qiu Ming.

She first talked about the matter of the surname Xiao, and then mentioned Hu Rui's request, which is to say that she communicated with Qiu Ming about these two things.

The relationship between Lin Xiaoxiao and Qiu Ming is a bit strange now.

On the surface, she is Qiu Ming's superior, and Qiu Ming is her manager, so she should listen to her.

But in fact, she is Qiu Ming's manager, and Qiu Ming is similar to an artist to a certain extent, and the weight is not low, which makes her completely erase the leadership position.

Therefore, when she and Qiu Ming talked, they were mostly discussing.

After listening to it, Qiu Ming only said that I knew it, and then added, "I'll talk about writing songs when I'm done with work."

Only then did Lin Xiaoxiao hang up the phone.

Anyway, Hu Rui is not in a hurry. The release of Zou Xin's new album has already been postponed, and it doesn't matter if it is later.

Qiu Ming was sitting with Zhang Ruoyin, Zhang Shan, Zhao Huanghuang and others, drinking and eating.

It's been two days since I've been on the set, I've been doing nothing, eating regularly every day, the set has no intention of starting at all.

Qiu Ming asked Zhang Ruoyin, Zhang Ruoyin only said to wait for others, and then started when everyone was present.

Qiu Ming didn't ask who he was waiting for, but only asked Zhang Ruo to give Zhuo Lan a script, and Zhuo Lan needed to make preparations.

In the past two days, all the actors have arrived, including Qi Hua, the leading actor in the play.

Qi Hua is sitting opposite Qiu Ming, drinking wine with a smile on his face.

This person looks like an old farmer, with thin eyes, a square face, and a bit of fat. He looks generally peaceful.

Yes, my resolution is very high, I can remember my appearance just by looking at it, but I think I have a special appearance, anyway, I am an actor with a very ordinary temperament.

It is said that he was born in a major, graduated from the Binhai Drama Academy, and is a young practitioner. He is so popular, but his acting skills are well-known.

Zhao Huanghuang said that Wei Yu and I have collaborated in two films since then, and the heroine of the film that won the Best New Director at the Second Youth Film Festival is Wei Yu.

That time we came to cooperate again, it was a plum blossom, so we are very familiar with each other, and we need to get in touch with each other.

The few people under the table can drink, basically everyone is under half a catty, but they are still a little drunk.

The pure grain wine is also down, drinking and chatting at the same time, the atmosphere is very good.

Wei Yutai clinked glasses with Tian Cong, and said, "Qi Hua is a newcomer, so he should take it easy, don't press it too hard."

Tian Cong waved his hand: "The big girl's play is wrong, you can see it after chatting with you for a while today."

Wei Yu hurriedly said, "Brother Hua, take care of him less, you respect him."

Wei Yu continued to wave his hands: "To be able to sit under that table is to be one of our own, and we should respect each other."

Having said that, I still took a sip from the wine glass, and then said: "The girl is very talented, and she also works hard. She must be at that age to be the 'Best Newcomer'."

"Brother Hua, don't praise you, you just have better luck!"

When Zhuo Lan said that Qi Hua was "lucky", she was pretending to be modest, but she really thought that Wei Yu was lucky.

Qi Hua's luck may be good to meet my person who has a power assist system.

In addition, I met Cao Yun and got Cao Yun's help to "operate" without doing anything. No matter how you look at it, winning the award has something to do with strength.

Everyone under the wine table could see that Zhuo Lan's words were sincere, Wei Yu smiled and said, "Well, luck is also a part of strength, if there is no good luck, it will be even more powerful gone."

After a slight pause, I went on to say, "Qi Hua has been reading the script for the past two days, you can see that you have written a lot of notes and thoughts under the script, obviously you have thought about it carefully, to be able to do that... Tsk, It used to be complicated."

Others can be humble, but when it comes to working hard, Wei Yu is really humble for Qi Hua.

You must know that even though I followed Qi Hua every day during that period, as a long-term binding supporter of the system, Qi Hua worked hard, and Zhuo Lan knew it all.

I also firmly believe that as long as Qi Hua can work so hard, without the help of her own system, her achievements will definitely be high in the future.

Several people were drinking and chatting, and after a while, there was the sound of vehicles approaching from the courtyard gate, and then a little while later, the panorama that had been seen for two days moved away and receded.

I was sweating profusely, and I was talking when I stepped back. I picked up a glass of wine under the table, raised my head and backed my throat.

"hiss……"

I made a sound that I don't know whether it is refreshing or happy, and I wiped my mouth with my sleeve again, and said, "Qiu Ming is here, you have been squatting at my wife's house all day and all night, but you have found me. The clubhouse looked for my car, and that's how I was found."

"Where... is this person?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

Quan Quanfa said: "I came here with you, you walked behind, I drove in the front, the matter of the front and back should be here soon."

Zhao Huanghuang asked: "What should I say about renting equipment and props?"

Quan Quanfa said: "Let's say that the market price has risen sharply now. I guess the price agreed in the future will be counted, and it will still increase... Well, and the time can still be as you agreed."

Wei Yutai frowned, but said nothing.

On the contrary, Lin Xiaoxiao had nothing to hide, so she said directly: "You guys have already increased the price, and even collected the deposit, and now you are suddenly talking about a price increase. Isn't that out of the ordinary?"

Quan Quan was still talking, and the sound of a car approaching and stopping came from the door.

Quan Quanfa turned his head back and said, "That bastard Qiu Ming... Tsk, you already know what to say, if you ask me yourself, old and young."

Several people outside the house were talking, waiting for the people inside to retreat.

Zhuo Lan had been listening to Zhao Huanghuang's conversation with us, and said nothing.

I knew that Wei Yu knew Qiu Ming, but I was very confused. The person the whole crew is waiting for now is that Wei Yu.

I asked Lin Xiaoxiao in private, it was nothing about Qiu Ming, and Lin Xiaoxiao was hiding something about her talkativeness, so she just said it.

Qiu Ming's position is the drama manager, responsible for all the equipment and props.

For small crews, the work of drama management actually belongs to assistants, who specialize in handling various scene coordination matters. The power is small, but they can run away.

But for Zhao Huanghuang's current production team, the role of production management is smaller than the sky.

Because the crew has everything except people, all the equipment and props have to be prepared by Qiu Ming.

Qiu Ming has the final say on how much to rent equipment and props.

How to determine the shooting time, Qiu Ming can also have the final say.

Now the crew has all arrived, but Qiu Ming has been slow to come to the crew, pushing back and forth, always saying that he has nothing else to do.

However, Zhao Huanghuang and Qiu Ming were still able to turn against each other, so that matter became the least trouble for the crew.

Before Wei Yu listened to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, he asked Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's okay, just don't look for me, is it okay to find someone else?"

Lin Xiaoxiao replied with a wry smile: "The crew is rich, so we can only make do with it."

Zhuo Lan feels incredible. Although I know things outside the independent film circle too well, Zhao Huanghuang just won the award for the best new director. He has a reason to have money to make a movie. How can he be so short of money? one thing?
Then Lin Xiaoxiao explained before: "For the play, I actually talked to several companies afterwards, but they all felt that the script had to be changed, but brother Shan was willing to change it anyway, so... well, the money was all because of me. I bought it because I was afraid to tell him, because of that, I sold all the houses in my hometown."

Hearing that, Zhuo Lan could only remain silent, her heart was quite simple.

To be honest, I heard some things about dedicating and sacrificing for the art of film, but to me, these are just stories, and the distance is quite far away.

But now, after listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, to be honest, I have no admiration for Zhao Huanghuang, and I think that person is really willing to pay for the movie.

At the same time, I also feel that Zhang Shan doesn't seem to be cheating his teammates any more. What's wrong with changing the script?

Anyway, I understand, I just watched silently from the side, making sure that Qi Hua can film the scene.

From the day after tomorrow when I arrived in Shanlin, Quan Quanfa went out, saying that he was looking for Wei Yu, and that he wanted to bring him back no matter what.

But the past two days, Panorama has been showing up, and finally brought him back tonight.

After a while, a person walked back.

The man was low in stature, and looked a little short.

Moreover, there is little flesh under his body, and his skin is white. At a glance, he is what is commonly known as a big white fat man.

The man was wearing a small gold watch with a leather bag on it, and complained as soon as he got out of the door: "Xiaowan, it really broke you, there is not even a light on the road, you almost fell into a ditch just now outside."

Seeing that everyone was looking at me, I was polite, and I sat down on the kang and said, "If you are young, then Xiaowan, he asked Ah Fa to call you over, why don't you take it easy?"

I smelt of alcohol, and I obviously had a drink afterwards, and I hiccupped when I spoke.

Zhao Huanghuang also beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Old Tian, ​​your crew is all here, when can I get his equipment and props for you?"

Qiu Ming didn't care much and said: "Afterwards, you have already said on the phone that the price of props and equipment has risen sharply, so you are also trying to find a way."

After a slight pause, I said again: "Just now, you were drinking with the bosses of Hongtian and Xinjia, thinking that we could give you a discount, but I thought..."

Qiu Ming glanced at Panorama, as if he hated iron for Chenggang, and said: "Tsk, I thought that Ah Fa suddenly rushed back and dragged you out of there."

After hearing the slapstick words, the few people outside the house were all talking and only looked at Qiu Ming.

A while ago, Wei Yutai poured Qiu Ming a glass of wine, and said: "Maybe you have no time to slow down, so you will let Ah Fa look for him all over the world. It is because everyone who has been on the set has arrived, and he is still there." Believe it or not, you really have a way."

After pouring the wine, I filled it up for myself, then put the bottle on, raised my glass to signal Qiu Ming to clink the glass, and then said: "Old Tian, ​​can he give you a confirmation letter, when will the equipment and Bring the props over?"

Qiu Ming chuckled, clinked glasses with Zhao Huanghuang, and said, "You have already made an agreement with the bosses of Hongtian and Xinjia, and tomorrow we can bring over the equipment and props you have ordered."

"Oh?"

Zhao Huanghuang nodded: "That's really great."

"Yes..."

Qiu Ming smiled, and said again: "Below that price, you have to add 80.00%."

"What? 80.00%?"

Lin Xiaoxiao stared, as if she had suddenly become angry.

"Wrong, just add 80.00%."

Qiu Ming showed a look of resignation, and said: "You have already talked with us, we originally said that we would add 70.00%, why are you so shameless, you have been pestering us for several days , we agreed to only add 80.00%.”

"Fuck him, it's already been increased by [-]% since then, and now it's all over, the deposit has been paid, and there is still an increase. What's the matter, is it still a discount for you?"

Wei Yutai stared at Wei Yu with small eyes, and opened his mouth to curse, knowing whether to curse Qiu Ming, or the two companies called Hongtian and Xinjia.

Qiu Ming spread his hands and said, "Brother Zhao, don't delay, you have really tried your best on that matter, if they think it is appropriate, you have a way."

Wei Yutai still wanted to scold, but Wei Yutai had already stopped him.

I glanced at Wei Yutai, the words that came to my mouth finally came out, whether I hummed or stopped, it was obvious that my heart was still suffocating.

Wei Yutai thought for a while, and asked Qiu Ming: "What about your deposit? How do you say it?"

Wei Yu smiled indifferently: "Of course I got the deposit back."

Panoramic Fa Wudian heard that it went up: "Now we need to add money, and after the reservation is made, it will be counted. How can I get the deposit back?"

Qiu Ming shook his head and looked at Quan Quanfa: "Ah Fa, it's his first day in the industry. He's just a shop bully. What can he do? Can he still sue me?"

Of course it is possible to sue...

It took a long time to sue the court. Even if we won in the end, the effort and cost outside would be much less. How could our big crew survive?
Therefore, the deposit was for nothing.

No one could have imagined that, and suddenly fell silent.

Naturally, Qiu Ming could also imagine that, while Wei Yutai and we were talking, I drank wine and ate food contentedly, as if it was my business.

Zhao Huanghuang pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "If you agree to that price, can you really get the things tomorrow?"

"can!"

Qiu Ming responded decisively.

Zhao Huanghuang pondered again.

Lin Xiaoxiao gave Zhao Huanghuang a hand: "Ruoyin, don't be impulsive."

Quan Quanfa also said: "If you are young or old, you can think of a way to do that."

But Zhao Huanghuang waved his hand at us, gesturing us not to speak, and then said to Qiu Ming: "Old Tian, ​​you agreed to the price, he asked us to bring over the props and equipment tomorrow, as slowly as possible!"

"Okay! If the old and the young are really harmonious!"

Qiu Ming said something in a low voice, and gave Zhao Huanghuang a little thumb at the same time.

Zhao Huanghuang only said: "Let's go back now, tomorrow, you have agreed!"

"something wrong!"

Qiu Ming nodded, stood up, glanced at the people in the room with a smile, then turned around and left.
