This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 118 Successful signing and determination of the role of Snowflake Goddess Dragon

Listening to Zhao Zhe's words, Jiang Bai thought for a while: "I can't say that, but I think I can try."

Just do it!

Zhao Zhe has never been a person who likes to procrastinate.

Now that you have decided, you have to try it. If you succeed, you will naturally earn money. Even if you fail, you will not suffer anyway. At most, it will only cost a few dollars in phone bills.

Seeing that Dong Xuan was still on the phone outside, Zhao Zhe quickly took out the phone book and found the phone number of the producer Li Peng.

Earlier, it was Li Peng who took the initiative to send an email to Zhao Zhe, and then the two of them met to let Jiang Bai play the leading role in this TV series.

So Zhao Zhe was naturally able to contact the other party directly.

"Hey, Director Li, how are you doing these days? Are you busy?"

Zhao Zhe asked.

After seeing Zhao Zhe's call, Li Peng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. After all, Jiang Bai is a big celebrity now, especially in ancient costumes.

It was hard to negotiate the cooperation with Jiang Bai before, and the next step is to sign the contract. At this juncture, the other party called...

Could it be that you want to break the appointment?

He heard that next year there are two martial arts dramas by Mr. Jin to be filmed. If those two dramas found Jiang Bai, he thought he would not be able to compete.

"Recently, it's okay. The scenes we mainly shot are almost set up. There are still a few actors left, so we have to continue to think about it. The rest are basically settled."

Li Peng purposely didn't say that he hasn't found a heroine yet, nor did he say that he's still a little short in terms of funds, because he was afraid that Zhao Zhe would find an excuse to reject this cooperation.

But Zhao Zhe didn't have such intentions at all, and quickly said straight to the point: "Director Li, I still have something to do with this call..."

Hearing this, Li Peng's heart skipped a beat.

"what's up?"

"I just want to ask if you still lack actors?" Zhao Zhe said.

But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.

Originally, Zhao Zhe wanted to ask if there was any shortage of other actors, but to Li Peng's ears, the words seemed to be asking Li Peng if there were any alternative actors.

Anyway, Jiang Bai on our side will not be able to go at that time, if there is, you can replace it as soon as possible.

"Actor? No more..." Li Peng said in a low voice.

But Zhao Zhe was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's right, I still have a more suitable actress on my side. If you still have undecided female roles, can you give us one? Director Li , I can assure you that the image and acting skills of my actors will be fine."

"That's it?" Li Peng looked a little weird when he heard that, so it wasn't that he was refusing to cooperate.

Then you should have said it earlier.

Even if I have already found most of the actresses, if you want, I have no problem changing them for you.

As long as Jiang Bai can come over, then we can talk about everything.

"There are still some vacancies for actresses. I don't know which role Mr. Zhao is looking for?"

Zhao Zhe smiled: "How about the female lead? Leading the actress on my side, especially the female lead of this show!"

"Female No. [-]?" Hearing this, Li Peng's heart felt empty again as if the chain had been dropped.

From just now to now, his mood has been ups and downs as if he was riding a roller coaster.

Because he has already thought about the candidate for the heroine.

It would be fine if Zhao Zhe insisted on inserting one in, but after all, this is a TV series he carefully prepared, and it would be difficult for him to find someone who is more suitable to play the leading role than the one he had in mind.

If it is not necessary, he still wants to hold on.

Thinking of this, he planned to try to bargain: "Mr. Zhao, this is a bit difficult, because I have already decided on the female number one candidate. There is really no way, or you look at other roles? Except for the female number one, don't I can get you a character like any other."

But Zhao Zhe didn't speak immediately, but instead asked: "Director Li, can I ask who is the number one female?"

"This...she's still a newcomer. She had a guest appearance in another TV series before, but I personally selected this actor. I really think he is very suitable. Her name is Dong Xuan."

As a result, after Zhao Zhe heard the name, a strange look appeared on his face: "Dong Xuan? Is it Dong Xuan, a sophomore student of Beijing Film Academy, who played a guest role with a female college student in Jade Guanyin?"

"Yes, it's her. I guess Jiang Bai also knows her."

When Zhao Zhe heard this, he thought to himself, isn't the flood flooding the Dragon King Temple?
If that's the case, it's easy to handle.

However, he still planned to make more decisions about the producer: "Director Li, it's boring for you to do this, why didn't I know that Dong Xuan had already negotiated a cooperation with you?"

"Mr. Zhao, I didn't lie to you. We have really negotiated and even signed the contract. There is really no way for you to change this person."

"Hey, Director Li, I know you are very important to this work, but you must have not checked it before. Dong Xuan has signed to our company now. If you have signed a contract with her, how could I not know Woolen cloth?

If you really sign the contract, then Dong Xuan is equivalent to looking for work outside behind the company's back..."

Li Peng originally wanted Zhao Zhe to retreat, and he didn't think Dong Xuan would reject the role.

After all, for a sophomore female student from Beijing Film Academy, to be able to film the lead actress of a major heroine TV series at this time is definitely a piece of cake from the sky.

But at this moment, when he heard Zhao Zhe's words, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Dong Xuan belongs to your company? Then the actor you mentioned just now who played the No. [-] Snow Goddess Dragon Girl..."

"It's her." The expression on Zhao Zhe's face was extremely happy. In the past, he went out to find a role for Jiang Bai and was manipulated by others, but now he finally turned around and became the master.

"Oh, isn't this a joke? Since this is the case, let's settle this matter, Mr. Zhao, I will go to your company later, and we will sign both Jiang Bai and Dong Xuan's contracts as soon as possible. What do you think?" Li Peng said with a smile, but didn't mention anything about his lying just now.

"I think it's okay, but although Dong Xuan is a newcomer, she is also an actress we plan to promote in the future. I also hope that Director Li will give us a sincere price."

"No problem. Mr. Zhao will definitely be satisfied with the price I offer at that time. After all, we still have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"That's it. Then Director Li, you are busy first, and I won't bother you."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhe can be said to be proud of his horseshoe disease.

Originally, he would worry that Dong Xuan had too many issues to consider and was unwilling to sign here, but now he doesn't have to worry about this at all.

Not long after, Dong Xuan also finished calling and came in.

"Mr. Zhao, my mother feels that your conditions are okay, but since she doesn't understand, she still wants to ask..."

And Zhao Zhe already had confidence at this moment.

"If you want to ask, I don't have a problem here, but I just remembered that I took a script for Jiang Bai earlier, and there was still a lack of a leading female role in that drama, so I called over there just now to get it for you." After a while, they finally agreed, that is to say, if you are willing to sign with our company, you can sign a contract with the crew as the lead actress in a few days."

The sudden increase in conditions caught Dong Xuan a little by surprise.

"Girl number one?"

"Yes, this is a martial arts movie. If you don't understand something, you can ask Jiang Bai to teach you. He has a lot of experience in this area."

"But I haven't made any films myself, and I haven't graduated yet. Can others want me?"

"Don't worry, since I have already agreed, they will use it. After all, what matters in this business is reputation. If they don't use you, Jiang Bai can also choose not to act. We are a brokerage company, so we will naturally accept you." The actors are responsible." Zhao Zhe said confidently.

He has been in the entertainment circle for so many years, so he naturally knows the rules very well.

The crew agreed to ask for an actor, but in the end there were some who didn't want it, but this kind of operation was basically limited to those big directors.

Because they can face the pressure of economic companies and public opinion.

But if the young director dares to do this, it will undoubtedly destroy his reputation, unless the other party is talented enough to make people ignore these things.

But what Zhao Zhe is sure of is that, at least in this drama, such a situation will not happen.

After all, the other party also wanted Dong Xuan to play the role, but Jiang Bai stepped in and brought Dong Xuan to the company first.

"But Ms. Dong, the premise is that you have to sign a contract with our company. Otherwise, we can find someone else for resources like female number one, don't you think so?"

"It should be." Dong Xuan nodded.

But when it came to this point, Dong Xuan still had to make a phone call, but Zhao Zhebiao, since Dong Xuan's mother made the call, then make the call here, and let Zhao Zhe and Dong Xuan's mother talk directly.

Just like that, Dong Xuan made a phone call in the office.

After Zhao Zhe spoke with reason and emotion on the phone, and promised to write all the conditions clearly into the contract, Dong Xuan's mother was relieved.

And Zhao Zhe went to modify some of the conditions on the computer, and then directly printed it out for Dong Xuan.

But Dong Xuan didn't quite understand these, so he asked Jiang Bai to help.

Jiang Bai naturally wouldn't refuse.

After receiving the contract, he pointed out the key points page by page and told Dong Xuan, which is indeed similar to what Zhao Zhe said before.

It clearly states which responsibilities the actor will perform in the contract.

If you violate it, you will need to pay 500 million in liquidated damages, and the contract period is 6 years, which is only one year longer than Jiang Bai.

In the end, they all chose to write their names on the contract and press their fingerprints.

"Congratulations, you are a part of our company starting today, and the person in charge of this show will come over to talk to us in a day or two, and don't worry, the film salary will definitely be as much as I can give you. .”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhao." Dong Xuan felt a little apprehensive, after all, he had just experienced one of the most important choices in life.

But with Jiang Bai by his side, he felt a lot more at ease.

"Actually, we usually don't have so many restrictions in the company, and we don't have to call Mr. Zhao all day long. You can just call me Brother Zhao just like Jiang Bai." Zhao Zhe said with a smile, "Sometimes he If you are in a hurry, you will call me Lao Zhao directly."

After hearing this, Dong Xuan subconsciously looked at Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai spread his hands: "Don't look at me, although I say that, but I still respect Mr. Zhao in my heart."

"Look, look, look, now he's Mr. Zhao again."

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere in the company, Dong Xuan was also completely relieved.

"By the way, wait a minute and let Jiang Bai take you around other rooms and introduce the company. But there is one more thing, that is, although I am the boss of this company now, Jiang Bai and I each hold a part of the shares. I'm not afraid of your jokes. At that time, I wanted to start a company with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I also wanted to recruit Jiang Bai into the company, so I specially took out a part of the shares.

And we are going to make a movie recently, Jiang Bai has made great efforts in it, so I gave him some shares, and now he is the second largest shareholder of the company, holding 49% of the shares, but overall the company's personnel I'm still in charge of the finances. "

Dong Xuan was a little surprised to hear this, because she knew that Jiang Bai had shares in the company, but she didn't know that Jiang Bai had so much.

"Although I have taken so much, I'm still working for Brother Zhao."

After speaking, Jiang Bai stood up: "Come on, I'll take you around the other room."

After walking to the yard, Jiang Bai said again:
"In addition to President Zhao leading the overall situation, we also have the director department, acting department, scriptwriting department, propaganda department and a logistics department.

But except for the performing arts department, there is only one person in these departments. "

While talking, Jiang Bai introduced Dong Xuan to Li Ping, Ning Hao and the cleaning aunt at the door.

"Then our company is quite small."

"Yes, there are indeed very few people, but don't look at our small number of people here, but all of them are elite soldiers and strong generals. There are currently three actors in the company. Except for the two of us, the rest is the one who was with you that day. Brother Zhao and I were very optimistic about Zhang Songwen who was next to me in school, and we just waited for him to arrange some plays for him after graduation."

"Very good, but Jiang Bai, can I really play the leading role?"

"Of course it's ok. If you're not sure, Brother Zhao won't promise you like that, and even if the other party really lets you go, at worst, I won't act. There are many crews looking for me to act. In the future I can find you some good roles, too."

"Hehehe, I'm sorry to trouble you this time, I didn't expect that I would be able to film so soon, and I'm still the number one female."

"Don't worry, act well when the time comes. I've read the script, and I have a hunch that after you finish filming this movie, it will definitely become a big hit. At that time, it will not be us looking for a movie to shoot, but the movie will come to you."

……

Just two days later, Li Peng brought Zhang Jun, the director of Snow Goddess Dragon, to the company.

After seeing Jiang Bai and Dong Xuan with their own eyes, they were full of praise.

Then Jiang Bai and Dong Xuan left, and Zhao Zhe talked with them about the salary inside.
