Royal Guard

Chapter 24 Extras
Chen Nan has already submitted an application to stay without pay. For dinner, the three of them ate hot pot in Donglaishun. Although the weather was a bit hot, there was no other way. Jiang Laosi liked it.

After returning home, he was not in a hurry to call Xu Jianjun. Jiang Hailong sat quietly on the balcony alone with a pen and paper in his hand, sketching and doing the most detailed analysis before the transaction. When he was young, he also smoked two packs of cigarettes.

Both Chen Nan and Bai Xue knew that this transaction was very dangerous, but the two who wanted to help were told by Jiang Hailong what to do, so they don't need to worry about it.

At eleven o'clock at night, Jiang Hailong took out another mobile phone card and called Xu Jianjun, and Xu Jianjun seemed to have been waiting for his call, because his team had already arrived in Beijing, everything was arranged properly, and he was about to make a formal transaction.

"300 million, U.S. dollars, don't use counterfeit banknotes, and don't pay attention to money. If you find out that you lied to me, the transaction will be terminated permanently, and I will never contact you again. Prepare for a day tomorrow and make an official transaction in Beijing the day after tomorrow." Those who didn't speak to Xu Jianjun Given the opportunity, Jiang Hailong hung up the phone directly.

Bai Xue and Chen Nan carefully eavesdropped, and when they heard Jiang Hailong talking about the deal the day after tomorrow, they both showed puzzled eyes, because Jiang Hailong said before that the deal would be done tomorrow, why did it take another day?
Jiang Hailong put away his pen, put the notebook he had sketched for a long time into his bosom, stretched himself, looked at the two daughters and said with a smile, "Who will serve you today? Do I have a choice?"

"Don't be shameless, tell me what you plan to do, why is it time for a date? Are you not sure?" Bai Xue and Chen Nan are still in the mood to joke with Jiang Hailong now?The second daughter's nerves have been tense for a long time. Trading calligraphy and painting is not a joke, otherwise it will kill someone.

"En." Jiang Hailong nodded: "After all, my strength alone is too weak to take care of the overall situation, so I have a little idea to strive for the best of this transaction and fight a beautiful battle."

"Then do you need us to do something? How can we help?" When Jiang Hailong said that he couldn't do it alone, the two girls also expressed their willingness to join and share the burden for Jiang Hailong.

Jiang Hailong glared at the two girls, and then each of them gave a piece of plantain, and laughed and scolded: "What do women do? Women wash clothes, cook, coax children to serve their husbands, how can you let you do things like beating and killing?" ?”

"Ah?" Bai Xue and Chen Nan were stunned at the same time, Bai Xue said inexplicably: "Didn't you just say that you can't do it alone? Why don't you need our help? Are you looking for your comrades or He?"

"Hey, hey? Hurry up and go to bed, I'm sleepy, I have plans tomorrow, and you'll know by then." Jiang Hailong didn't want to say more, of course he didn't want the second daughter to worry, so he finished speaking Finally, he fell directly on the sofa. Today is much more honest than yesterday, and he didn't even mention going to sleep.

Seeing that Jiang Hailong seemed very tired, the second daughter didn't have the heart to continue asking. After washing her face, she turned off the light and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hailong still got up early habitually and went out for a run, but he didn't come back when it was almost seven o'clock, and the second daughter called him on his mobile phone, and the two were in a state of anxiety, but there was nothing they could do.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Jiang Hailong appeared at the gate of Beiying, still driving a Jetta with a Dalian license plate, and the speed was very slow, and stopped at the side of the road with the most crowds outside Beiyingmen.

As we all know, outside the gate of Beijing Film Academy is the gathering place for extras and the North Piao family. There are especially many people who dream of being a star, becoming an actor, getting ahead, or earning a little living money.

Today, Jiang Laosi came to find extras.

As soon as the Jetta stopped, a large group of people gathered around, including young men and women, as well as aunts and uncles.

"Boss, are you looking for an extra? What role do you want." Everyone looked eagerly, striving for a glimmer of hope for their life goals.

Jiang Hailong smiled, glanced at the surrounding people and said: "I really want to find some extras, but I don't want women, nor uncles, I want younger ones." The voice was loud, and those extras who didn't come around I also heard it.

"Which play, who is the director, do you think we are good?" A young man in his 20s and less than [-]s asked, pointing to the other young people around him.

"Sure, but it's not enough. I want at least ten of them, and they're all as big as you guys. Please contact me for a few more. The price is negotiable." Jiang Hailong knew at a glance that the person talking to him was an old joker. Son, the little head who takes care of the job.

"It's no problem, even if there are a hundred of them, we'll collect them for you." The man purposely spoke with a Beijing accent, but since his accent was not from Beijing, it changed a bit.

Jiang Hailong went back to the car to smoke, and the little guy started calling. After only about ten minutes, thirteen young men under the age of 30 gathered around Jiang Hailong's Jetta.

These 13 people vary in size, height, and appearance. Some have distinctive looks, some are handsome, and one has pockmarks on his face. Obviously, there are quite a few extras with their own characteristics. , Some directors are even willing to find this kind of person.

Jiang Hailong glanced at the thirteen people and said: "It's done, three more, maybe three more, maybe you didn't have breakfast in the morning? Let's go, find a breakfast nearby, let's chat while eating."

"Let's go to the one in the alley in front, where we often eat." Xiaotou Tou led the way, and the 13 people happily walked behind the Jetta, and entered the breakfast shop a few minutes later.

Jiang Hailong ordered thirteen drawers of steamed stuffed buns, each with a bowl of porridge, and asked if he had any drinks.

But obviously these 13 people are a bit reluctant to let go. After all, in order to stand out, they still want to make a good impression on Jiang Hailong who came to cast the actor, so no one wants to drink.

After the 13 people started eating, the little guy started to ask, "Boss, which movie did you shoot? As far as I know, director Chen Da recently filmed an urban emotional drama in a residential area in Beijing. You are not them." Are you in the same group?"

Jiang Hailong shook his head: "I'm not filming."

"What?" The thirteen extras who were having dinner were stunned at the same time. Why are you not filming us?So they all froze and looked at Jiang Hailong suspiciously.

Jiang Hailong smiled embarrassedly: "Everyone listen to me."

"I really need a few extras for appearance, because I have an important date in Taoranting Park tomorrow. Of course, I don't need you to do anything, just for appearance."

"Boss, we don't understand, you'd better tell the truth, or we won't do this job." The little head put down his chopsticks and said.

Jiang Hailong smiled wryly, spread his hands, and said, "OK, then I'll tell the truth."

"I'm going on a date with my girlfriend tomorrow, and my girlfriend's father is the child of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Commerce. She had a boyfriend before, and she might trip me up tomorrow and come to trouble me, so I thought Find a few extras to act as appearances for me and act as bodyguards."

"Of course, don't worry, I won't let you do it if it's dangerous. Even if I'm beaten, you don't need to help me. You can even run away. I just need you to stand behind me and wear black suits one by one. As for the price, you mention it."

The 13 people all put down their chopsticks at the same time. Jiang Hailong said lightly, but it seemed that there was still a certain degree of danger. What if the other party rushed up and beat them up with dozens of people?
The little head smiled and shook his head: "Boss, are you showing off? Don't you want us to be thugs? It won't be fun when we get beaten. Although we are extras, we can't do everything .”

"Then do you mean to disagree?" Jiang Hailong asked again, pretending to have a wry smile on his face, and continued: "I said there is no danger. If there is any danger at that time, you can just run away, in broad daylight, run away." It’s not enough, and it’s not like shooting a movie, it’s just to let the other party know that I’m terrible, and there are bodyguards to follow.”

"How much can you give?" Before the little heads could answer, one of them raised his head and asked.

"I don't know the market price, but the standard I give you is [-] per person per afternoon, just for show, so that you don't want to beat people. If you are really in danger or get beaten, I will be responsible for all medical expenses. "Jiang Hailong boasted down to Haikou and said.

"One thousand?" Everyone's eyes lit up. They only spend a maximum of one hundred and two hundred a day as extras. How could they make a thousand?

"Then how many people are there on the other side?" Another question came out, as if he regarded this employment as a gang fight.

"The other party?" Jiang Hailong hesitated, but shook his head and smiled: "Maybe there is only one, maybe there is no one, don't worry, my rival in love is not a capable person, just a small boss of a company, if you see me behind me With more than a dozen bodyguards, you can't be scared to pee your pants."

"Boss, if you give me two thousand, I'll do it. I can't afford the rent, so I'll go all out." One of the young men gritted his teeth.

"I'll do it for two thousand, it's worth it if I get beaten up."

"Yes, and you have to pay a deposit, and you have to pay us the rest of the money in full when you arrive at the park, or we won't be able to find you after we get beaten and run away."

"How about 2000 yuan? Do you agree? If you don't agree, we will leave." The little head has already been tempted, isn't it just a guest bodyguard?Even if they fight in groups, they are not afraid.

Jiang Hailong pretended to be in pain, and after a moment of contemplation, he finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, that's it, but tomorrow you all have to wear more formal clothes, black suits and ties, and you will be at the north gate of Taoranting Park before [-]:[-] am gather."

"Okay, let's pay the deposit first, one hundred per person." The little head stretched out his hand and said.
