Chapter 433 Noodle shop, poaching, emotional card

The place where Liu Shijie asked Wang Kai to meet was a Huaxi noodle restaurant outside the film and television base.

Before Wang Kai arrived, he ordered two bowls of noodles.

Actors filming in the film and television base, if they are not big names, all eat box lunches from the crew.

Even if it is an S-level film and television project, the lunch box for the extras will not be very good.

Add a chicken leg and it's already very rich.

After all, for a large production crew, hundreds of people work a day, the box lunch can be guaranteed to be fresh, and the combination of meat and vegetables is already very good.

Therefore, when the crew starts work, many people will want to take a sip of soup.

The Huaxi noodle restaurant outside the Donghai film and television base has a very good business, and it is a place where many young actors improve their meals.

It is close to the film and television base and the price is affordable.

The taste of the noodle soup is good.

……

When Wang Kai arrived, two servings of beef noodles were already on the table, one with coriander and one without.

This little detail made Wang Kai's expression stiffen a little.

Because the beef noodles in front of him did not add coriander.

In fact, he does not reject eating coriander.

He can eat coriander, but he is worried that his breath will affect other actors when filming, so he picks out coriander when eating noodles.

What surprised him was that after two years, Liu Shijie could remember such details.

"Remember this noodle shop?"

Liu Shijie glanced up at the noodle shop and said with emotion, "It's still the same as before."

"Remember, Mr. Liu said he wanted to sign me here." Of course Wang Kai remembered, after all, that was the starting point of his career.

At first.

Wang Kai is just a young actor, who used to live in a hotel with six rooms around the film and television base.

Later, after becoming a special actor, he finally received some roles with lines, so he rented a single room with someone nearby.

He still remembers that at that time, the daily salary of special actors was 500 yuan.

Compared with the 100 group performances a day, his income is already considered high.

It's just that the special actors registered in the Screen Actors Union are like crucian carp in the river. If they can't get into the role, they will have no income.

During that time, his income as a special actor, after deducting the rent and daily expenses, there was not much left.

In order to be able to play more roles with lines, as long as he has time, he will go to various crews to audition, and audition hundreds of crews a year.

At that time, he was not qualified to pick a script at all.

As long as the crew wanted him, he would try his best to act, even if it was just a corpse.

In fact.

Playing a corpse can get an extra red envelope, which is a very sought-after job.

At that time, he was confused.

Because I don't know where the road ahead is going to go, if I continue like this, will there be a day in the early days.

Until one day two years ago, when the crew got off work, he was going back to his residence to rest.

When he left the film and television base, a person stopped him, and this person was Liu Shijie.

then.

Liu Shijie just invited him to eat a bowl of beef noodles at Huaxi noodle restaurant.

At that time, both bowls of beef noodles were served with coriander.

Wang Kai picked out the coriander one by one with chopsticks.

While eating noodles, Liu Shijie had a lot of conversations with him, saying that he had seen him act in the crew, he was very optimistic about him, and wanted to sign him into the company, and gave him a business card.

It was that time that he felt that there was someone in this world who understood him and recognized him.

So, he signed Huahuo Media.

When he first signed with Huahuo Media, his life didn't change much.

I still go to the crew to audition every day.

Sometimes Liu Shijie would take him to audition with larger crews, but whether he can get the role in the end depends on whether the crew uses him or not.

Until later, the audition for "The Pretender" was successful.

He finally became an instant hit.

Although he became popular through "The Pretender", it was indeed after Liu Shijie signed him that he had this opportunity.

Therefore, he was still very grateful to Liu Shijie.

Liu Shijie showed emotion on his face, and said, "Do you still remember what I said two years ago? I said that I will definitely make you popular, do you believe me now?"

Wang Kai could only nod his head and replied, "I believe it, I believe it."

Liu Shijie continued: "I want to change my words now, I can make you more popular than you are now, do you believe it?"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.

Liu Shijie began to chatter: "When I first signed you, Huahuo Media had nothing, but now it's different, we have everything.

"I have already contacted several investors, and we will leave Huahuo together and start a new company.

"The Huahuo team will also walk with me.

"Don't worry, as long as you come, you don't need to contribute capital. I guarantee that the new company will have 30% of your shares."

Wang Kai had a troubled expression on his face, his lips moved, and he wanted to speak, but he stopped talking.

Seeing that he didn't nod, Liu Shijie continued to lobby: "And, I promise, your shares in the new company will never be diluted.

"Not only that, I still have the resources of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Evening", and you are still the number two male lead.

"After the establishment of the new company, you are the absolute protagonist of the company, and all resources will be given to you in the future.

"I promise to use the fastest speed to bring you to the front line."

Wang Kai became more and more embarrassed.

Today's meeting, the location of the appointment, and the content of the conversation were obviously specially arranged by Liu Shijie.

Especially the place where we met was the noodle shop two years ago.

This is already playing the emotional card.

It is impossible to say that Wang Kai's heart was not touched at all.

After all, this is the starting point for him to become a popular actor with a salary of tens of millions from a penniless little actor.

After Liu Shijie finished all the prepared conditions, he stared into Wang Kai's eyes and asked:

"Akai, you have to trust me, if I can make you popular once, I can make you popular twice.

"Before I came, I had already talked to Young Master Chen on the phone.

"I promised him a lot of conditions, and that's why I helped you keep the role of the second male lead in "Furong"."

Wang Kai frowned, looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head.

He was a little afraid to look into Liu Shijie's eyes.

Because he felt guilty towards Liu Shijie.

Liu Shijie lowered his body, looked at Wang Kai's expression, and asked, "How is it? Work hard with me. You don't have to worry about liquidated damages. I have already prepared for the contract I signed before.

"So, you don't need to pay attention to the contract with Huahuo, just follow me, and I will be responsible for finalizing the contract."

Wang Kai was really in a difficult situation. After holding back for a long time, he let out a breath and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm really...sorry."

Hearing this, Liu Shijie frowned, and quickly added: "Are you still dissatisfied with my offer?
"30% of the shares is already a lot. Opening a new company requires investment, and investors account for more than 60% of the shares. I even gave myself less than 10% of the shares.

"I did this for you.

"Come with me, I am the one who really understands you, I can see you among thousands of special actors, and I will definitely praise you as the first-line actor in the future, even Shidi and actor are not impossible. "

Wang Kai let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. Actually, I have already joined the team, and today I asked for leave from the director."

Liu Shijie was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Which group will you be in?"

When he asked this question, before Wang Kai could answer, he already guessed and answered, "You mean the crew of "Langya Bang"?"

Wang Kai nodded and admitted: "Yes, I joined the crew yesterday. I asked the director for two hours off today, and I have to go back to the crew when the time is up."

Liu Shijie was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect things to develop so quickly.

"Wait a minute, wasn't Huahuo acquired yesterday morning? Why did you join the team yesterday?" Liu Shijie felt that this movement was a bit ridiculously fast.

Wang Kai explained: "Yes, I was also very surprised yesterday. After you left, Sister Hong...is Mr. Qiao. She told me that it will take some time for the handover of fireworks, and there is no way to arrange work with me during this time. I suggest you Report directly into the group, so I joined the group yesterday afternoon."

Liu Shijie raised his voice an octave, and asked, "What about the contract? You joined the group yesterday, didn't you sign the contract? "Langya Bang" is not on yet."

"Langya Bang" has not officially launched yet.

However, the preliminary preparations have been completed, and the director team began to discuss the shooting plan.

At this time, if the protagonist has time, he can already join the group and participate in the group discussion.

Of course, most stars will not join the group in advance, because one extra day of business activities will cost tens of millions of dollars.

Wang Kai replied: "I signed after joining the group yesterday."

He did not provide details of the signing.

In fact, after the successful acquisition of Huahuo Media yesterday morning, Fang Xing did not go to Huahuo headquarters at all, but asked Qiao Yinghong to lead a team to receive Huahuo Media.

Fang Xing was in the crew, discussing the filming plan with Zhang Yigao and the director team.

In the afternoon, Wang Kai joined the group, Fang Xing chatted with him, and signed the film contract directly.

There was no official filming this morning, but Fang Xing was going to take a few leading actors through the scene to chat about the core of the characters.

Wang Kai received a call from Liu Shijie, as the person who took him, it was hard to refuse.

Therefore, Wang Kai and Fang Xing took two hours off to meet Liu Shijie.

After listening to his explanation, Liu Shijie was stunned.

He originally prepared a whole set of lobbying plans, and he must lure Wang Kai away from Huahuo.

However, he did not expect that Huahuo Media was acquired only yesterday, and Wang Kai joined the group and signed a contract that afternoon.

It was so fast that he couldn't even react.

Liu Shijie was a little angry, and said angrily: "Why did you sign the contract? Why are you in such a hurry? What if there is a trap in the contract?"

He thought for a while and asked, "Do you have the contract with you? Take it out and let me see if there is any room for recovery."

For Liu Shijie now, the most important card in his hand is Wang Kai.

Wang Kai is the only artist who has become popular since the establishment of Huahuo Media.

If Huahuo Media is worth 5000 million, Wang Kai will account for at least 3000 million.

The only chance Liu Shijie can think of to make a comeback is to poach Wang Kai, raise an investment, and start another "Huahuo Media".

In that case, with the project of "Furong Tent Warming the Spring Night", the first project of the new company will be S-level, and it will be able to gain a firm foothold immediately.

However, these plans have a major premise, that is, Wang Kai must be taken away.

"Mr. Liu, you don't have the contract with you, and you don't need to read the contract. Director Fang won't cheat me." After Wang Kai explained the matter, his mentality gradually calmed down.

Liu Shijie scolded angrily: "What do you know? You signed the contract without looking at it. Do you know how many celebrities have been cheated by the contract?
"Go back and get the contract now, let's figure out a way together to see if we can cancel the contract.

"This contract has not been signed for long, and there may be a way to terminate the contract."

But Wang Kai shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu, actually, I really want to act in "Langya Bang", really."

Liu Shijie doesn't want to listen to his thoughts at all now, he just wants to find a chance to turn the situation around: "Don't talk so much, I'll go back with you to get the contract."

Wang Kai sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, the time is almost up, and I'm going back to the set. I'm really grateful to you for signing me into Huahuo.

"However, I just want to act seriously and get a good script, not to make money beyond my ability through other means."

It's not that he doesn't like money, but he wants to earn the money an actor deserves by filming.

Instead of using all kinds of tricks to make money that didn't belong to me.

Everyone's personality is different.

He has been able to persist in the actor industry for so many years because he likes the actor profession.

If he wanted to use those means to make money, he would not have chosen to be an actor in the first place, and it would be more appropriate for him to go into business directly.

He is a signed actor of Huahuo Media. Although he doesn't usually participate in the management of the company, he still knows something about Liu Shijie's actions.

Therefore, he actually does not agree with some of Liu Shijie's practices.

Liu Shijie felt that the meeting was about to collapse, so he reached out and grabbed Wang Kai's arm, and said emotionally: "Akai, I am your Bole, don't you want to show some kindness?"

Wang Kai exhaled and said: "Mr. Liu, I am very grateful to you, if you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best.

"It is true that you signed me into Huahuo, but do you really understand?

"I also have my pursuit, I wanted to act in "Langya Bang" from the very beginning.

"I mentioned it many times during the company meeting, but you never cared about my opinion.

"I am an actor signed by the company, so I have to work according to the company's arrangement.

"Whatever script you accept for me, I will join any crew.

"I do my job well, but please don't kidnap me with morality."

After saying this, Wang Kai took out his trouser pocket, put down a hundred-yuan bill, got up and walked out of the noodle shop.

From entering to leaving, the beef noodles on the table have not been touched.

Therefore, all the time was spent talking, and there was no time for noodles.

……

After leaving the noodle shop, Wang Kai went straight back to the crew.

The crew's meeting in the morning has ended, Fang Xing is taking the script to mark and also revising some lines.

Wang Kai returned to the studio and said, "Director, I'm back, have I missed important content?"

"Meet someone?" Fang Xing continued to mark the script with a pen without raising his eyes.

"seen……"

Wang Kai hesitated several times before asking: "Is the handover of Huahuo going smoothly?"

In fact, he originally wanted to say that Liu Shijie wanted to poach Huahuo's team.

However, he also felt that it was inappropriate to report to the former director of brokerage, so the last question he asked was whether the handover of Huahuo was going well.

Fang Xing put down his pen, raised his head and said, "Let's leave professional things to professional people. We just need to shoot "Langya Bang" well."

As soon as Wang Kai heard it, he knew that he was thinking too much.

Since Ark Culture has acquired Huahuo Media, it is natural for Ark Culture's team to take over the affairs of the company.

This is not what an actor should care about.

If professional people do bad things, unprofessional people will only make things worse.

Fang Xing never worried about the reception of Huahuo Media.

Ark Culture is such a big company, if it can't do this well, how can the company survive?

"The director is right, we just need to concentrate on filming the drama." Wang Kai smiled, feeling relaxed.
