Drunken Master

Chapter 68 Agreement

Half a month later, Zhuang Xiao and Pei Yan returned home.

The so-called sequence means that there is only one day difference between before and after. Zhuang Xiao took the flight the day before, and Pei Yan took the flight the next day. The way of deception is so sloppy, and they don't care so much.

It's only been a day since we've been separated, and we both feel it's hard. We've gotten used to having someone by our side, and being warmed up in bed every night.Pei Yan occupied Zhuang Xiao's entire house in Irvine by himself, and held all the keys of the other's house in his hands. In "our house", he just did whatever he wanted, and he could build whatever he wanted.

On the contrary, he was not interested in raiding around, and didn't bother to look at anything.Only then did I truly understand that no matter how big or luxurious the house is, it is meaningless. The meaning of home is to have someone to accompany you under the eaves.

Zhuang Xiao reasoned that the crew returned to China to shoot the location, so it was logical to come back to film. In the eyes of outsiders, it is impossible to see that this person was forced to leave.

And Pei Yan also came back on the grounds of going abroad for medical treatment and recuperation.

What kind of disease to treat, it is up to the brokerage company to say, in short, there is room for not directly exposing his big black spot of "running away for love".The company claims that during the filming of "Drunken Master", Pei Shaoxia suffered from encephalitis and was seriously ill, and he has not fully recovered. After a period of recuperation, I went abroad for medical treatment.

As for why this problem can't be honestly rested in China, and why it is necessary to go to California to see a doctor, there are different opinions on gossip forums.Encephalitis was said to be as serious as brain cancer, but in a blink of an eye, the man jumped back alive and well.

Some people say, Southern California... Who is in Southern California?

Isn't Zhuang Xiao living in Southern California?It can't be that coincidental.

Immediately, two fans came out to refute the rumors. A Xiao has been filming recently. He has been shooting two movies in a row. He has been working in the crew all the time. Pei Yan has never appeared in the crew.

CP fans also stood up and said, we are fan characters, eat the food of character CP, don't just KY real people, okay?Both Yanyan and Brother Xiao have their own lives, please don’t affect their normal life if you are obsessed with CP, take both Yanbao and Brother Xiao away so that you won’t make an appointment with you!

Some people also said, what's wrong with eating real CP, they are a good match, who of you can find someone who is more suitable for Ah Xiao than Yanyan, or someone who is more suitable for Yanyan than Ah Xiao?

Can't find it.

……

Pei Yan was supposed to join the filming of the fantasy drama at the beginning of the year, but he broke the appointment and did not join the crew. When the filming started, the crew was forced to change people, which was very embarrassing.

Who has changed?

This matter was arranged secretly by Zhang Shaochi, and the substitute was replaced, that is, the popular niche who crawled out of Mr. Du Du Mingjun's bed, nicknamed "Peach Dragon".

Du Mingjun was going to blow up with Mr. Zhang, the eggplants and chrysanthemums were tortured, and a valuable antique vase was destroyed at home, and he was full of anger.As a result, Zhang Shaochi said lightly, there is a big drama with luxurious configuration, a very good opportunity, your Xiaoqinger asked me for it before, but he couldn't do it, and now he has the opportunity.Mingjun, you should also put out the fire, take a step back and broaden the sea and the sky.

Du Mingjun was displeased: "You asked me to take a step back. This is to let me beat them to the sky! My vase cost 5000 million yuan."

"Forget it," Zhang Shaochi sneered, "Just your big red lacquer vase that was broken into scum, you played with the auction company privately, directed and acted on your own. God, if you take it to the bank again, you can still mortgage 5000 million yuan, but I don’t know if you are a little crap?... Can that crap be worth 3000 yuan?"

Mr. Du immediately fell silent, staring at Zhang Shaochi and gasping for breath.

"Okay, don't compete with me," Zhang Shaochi changed the subject, "This time, I will sell you a favor and help you with your love, Mingjun."

Du Mingjun lay on the bed pretending to be sick and coquettish: "Humph, what a fart of human affection. Old Zhang, your domestic cat ran away and became a wild cat completely. Isn't it useless to raise all these years? There are not enough actors in the crew. It was a mess and it affected your company's reputation, so you sold me this cheap favor."

Zhang Shaochi said: "It's a family, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, and the production team is very well equipped. Your little love may become a big hit this time."

"Yo, we are a family, why didn't I know?" Du Mingjun suddenly expressed sadness, "Old Zhang, you are just awkward, pretending to be arrogant and playing with me? Twenty years ago, if you promised me, we The two people are close friends and have a profound friendship, how suitable we are, can I suffer this crime?"

Zhang Shaochi got up and left: "Stop farting."

Du Mingjun lay on the bed: "I'm not right?...Old Zhang, come back to me."

Zhang Shaochi had already walked to the corridor, and turned around and cursed: "The chrysanthemum is rotten, and the farts that come out are so fucking bad."

……

When Zhuang Xiao appeared at the Capital Airport, he was greeted by Shan Hu and Tsunami again.

Zhuang Xiao originally planned to keep a low profile and come back quietly, but Pei Yan told him, why did you go back quietly?Are we wronged or guilty?When you go back, you will create a big fanfare and let the outside world and fans know that you are going back to China to film and develop. Let's see who dares to blatantly touch you?

Everything is clear, so that the other party will not be given the opportunity to use dirty tricks.

The airport put up a huge welcome, and the brokerage company, in conjunction with the official fan club, held up many signboards and lined the road to welcome.As soon as Zhuang Xiao came out of the passage, he was stuffed with a bunch of coffee cups, and he laughed himself.

Now this matter has become a joke, but anyone who asks Zhuang Xiao for his signature and cannot use notebooks or cards, it is a wild meal with no winks and no rules.Fans who understand the rules took out coffee cups of various materials from their backpacks and asked Sir Zhuang to sign the cups.

Zhuang Xiao had a good expression and mood, lowered his head and smiled, and signed each cup.I can't finish signing, and all the cups are handed over in front of me.

Hearts and pink bubbles sprayed out from the webcast, all of which looked like Zhuang Xiao kept his head buried in his autographs without making a sound.He is still welcome.

For an actor, star, the most important thing is that you always have work.The gossip news on the Internet, whether it is hype or black material, such as "father and son feud and staged a family action movie" or "old alcoholic's bathrobe out of the street and down and out", is actually just a flash in the air, and everyone will forget it in a few days.It was mentioned by chance afterwards, and most of the audience sneered at it. What the audience cares most about is always your interpretation of works and classic characters.

Therefore, Zhuang Xiao will not be forgotten, he has always had works.The Hollywood blockbuster "Drunken Master" starring him as the big villain Boss will be released during the Spring Festival. Although the filming rate is not as good as the main theme film released by the General Administration in the New Year to exorcise ghosts and town houses, Zhuang Pei's CP is enough to attract young people's attendance. The film also evokes the nostalgia of middle-aged audiences, so it has been the box office daily champion and weekly champion for two consecutive weeks, and it is no problem to make money back.

By the summer vacation, the production of "Dragon Fighting Tianguan" will be completed, and it will be released in theaters.Then, the literary and fantasy blockbusters he starred in will be released one after another, and one after another will occupy the audience's attention, and he will always have popularity.The hype is all floating clouds, and actors don't need hype in the first place.

Sharp-eyed fans noticed it, and a barrage exploded in the live broadcast room. What happened, Brother Xiao shaved his beard.

Many people exclaimed that there is really no beard. Why didn't they notice it before? They always felt that something was wrong. It turned out that they had shaved their beards clean.

The new movie requires a change of image?Or is the brokerage company changing the packaging model?Or is this person just looking for a change of look on a whim?

Or... fall in love.

The screen of the live broadcast is frantically swiping the screen. In my lifetime, I will go back in time. Ah Xiao, who came to watch, is really handsome...

The next day, when Pei Yan returned to China, she walked off the air bridge and appeared in the encirclement of the airport.

Yu Ji's camera chased and filmed the "Xiang Xing" who had returned from illness, and found that Pei Shaoxia seemed to have changed his look.

Pei Yan wore a blue half-length down jacket, which looked like a large down sack, pencil jeans with leggings and NB sneakers on her lower body, and walked out of the aisle with an "enchanting" face.This person was still in a daze, as if he didn't know the way, and he plunged headlong into the fan group army sideways. When he realized that the situation was not good, he covered his mouth and smiled, turned around and wanted to run.

Pei Yan was dragged to take a group photo. In the chaos, the down jacket was about to be torn into two layers of cloth, the duck down in the middle flew away, as if someone had plucked it.

He ran away with his long legs, laughing wildly all the way, his mood was too good to hide, many white duck down floated behind him...

He was picked up by the team, and he glanced at the souvenir shop at the airport halfway, stopped in his tracks, and insisted on going in to have a look.

Zhuang Xiao has the habit of buying gifts at random, especially whenever he goes to a place or an airport, he must bring him a souvenir.

Pei Yan went into the store and looked around for anything interesting.

He took a look at the lion plush toy on the shelf, which looked extremely childish and cute.He grabbed a lion cub.

Johnny Wu coughed softly behind him: "It says on the label, over three years old."

Pei Yan rolled her eyelids: "Yes, I am over three years old."

Johnny Wu said, "It's for children."

Pei Yan snorted, "It didn't say under ten either... I bought it as a gift."

Johnny Wu chattered in his ears: "There are reporters watching outside the store, do you think they know that Zhuang Xiansen is a Leo? It's written in the encyclopedia information!"

Pei Yan: "Can you guess it?"

Johnny Wu: "Nonsense, even a fool can guess."

Pei Yan quickly stuffed the little lion into the arms of the old godfather: "You go to buy it, go and help me pay the bill, and say that you want to buy it...give me a better package, and I will give it to someone else."

That night, the paparazzi got a temporary tip that Zhuang Xiao appeared in a small Hunan restaurant in Sanlitun.

That restaurant is also owned by a celebrity in the circle. It claims to have the best Hunan cuisine in the capital. In fact, it should be the most expensive Hunan cuisine in the capital. Whether it is delicious or not is another matter.The dishes have been improved, and the interior decoration is exquisite, all of which are small private rooms.

The two heroes quietly opened a private room in the small Hunan cuisine restaurant, and had a meal to relieve their lovesickness.This planned meal was postponed for so long before finally fulfilling the agreement.

I ordered six hot dishes in one go, minced pepper fish head, steamed cured meat, crispy duck, farm fried pork...the two have similar tastes, and what they order is the other's favorite.

During the banquet, they all took out small gifts from their backpacks.

"Guess mine?" Pei Yan said.

"I can't guess, what can you give?" Zhuang Xiao said, "Give it to me, how about a condom?"

Pei Yan laughed loudly: "What the hell, I'm also very romantic!"

It took a second to react, and he was furious: "You used the condom? I can't use it anymore?"

Zhuang Xiao said: "You special, so lubricant."

Pei Yan threw his chopsticks at Zhuang Xiao, and now it was his turn that he couldn't stand the unscrupulous man in front of him showing his true colors.

The two of them handed the wrapped cute gift to each other from under the table.

Pei Yan touched it: "Ah—soft, fluffy? It's not jelly lubricant."

Zhuang Xiao touched under the table: "Hair?... You have no hair, whose hair is this?"

The two took out the things and looked at them, and burst out laughing.

Zhuang Xiao got a baby lion with fried hair, and Pei Yan got a fluffy little white sheep.

The brand labels are the same, and the two bought them at the same store at the airport.

The sign on the lion's neck reads: [Beautiful].

Zhuang Xiao looked at Pei Yan: "Who is beautiful?"

"It!" Pei Yan said with a smile, "Its name is 'Beautiful'."

Pei Yan then wrote [handsome] on the label of the little white sheep, and said to the other party: "Let me introduce, this is the 'beautiful' boyfriend 'handsome', is it suitable? Haha, how well matched."

Zhuang Xiao didn't respond to him, and silently put "Beautiful" into his backpack for raising.

The paparazzi entered the store, but they were not familiar with the environment and paths inside the store. They searched furtively in the lobby, but couldn't find Zhuang Xiao.

After a while, Zhuang Xiao came down from upstairs and went to the front desk to greet and chat with the boss and manager, ignoring the existence of the paparazzi, and followed them to cover the camera behind the menu and kept taking sneak shots.

A table of girls suddenly looked up, found Zhuang Xiao, covered their faces and exclaimed, and asked him to sign, shouting, "If you don't have a cup, find a cup soon"...

Zhuang Xiao dawdled in the lobby on purpose, chatted with the fans after signing the autograph, and finally left through the main entrance and drove home.

Afterwards, the manager told the girls at the table that brother Xiao had settled the bill for you all, so there is no need to pay any more.

When the paparazzi came to his senses and chased him upstairs to the private room, he had already fled without any evidence.

The other young hero was able to fly over the walls, climbed the stairs from the second floor, and ran away through the back door with a few boxes of packed suppers in his hand.

……

Afterwards, Zhuang Xiao followed the crew of the blockbuster fantasy movie to a film and television base in other places.

Pei Yan missed the TV series that was originally planned, and the next project in the schedule is "Blood Shadow Prodigal Son".

This is a film made by Jiahuang with big investment and big production.

If he still wants to act in this movie, he can't ignore his boss.Furthermore, if you want to take over Fei Cha's new movie and then go to Hollywood to make a movie, it is impossible to bypass the agency and do it yourself...

The bureau convened several CEOs of film and television companies and held a symposium.This meeting is a routine at the beginning of each year. Everyone sits together and talks about the cultural concept and development plan for this year. The leader then explains a new round of policies, emphasizing the restricted areas that must not be stepped on, and setting a certain theme.

Zhang Shaochi was dressed solemnly and properly. When he came out of the building, he shook hands with the leader and several colleagues to say goodbye, and nodded slightly.

Turning his face around and walking down the stairs, his face was like that of a ladder going downhill, and he slipped to the bottom step at a glance...

It is true that film and television dramas are getting harder and harder to shoot, and the money is getting harder and harder to earn.Restricting themes, strictly reviewing the content, deducting the filming at every turn and not allowing it to be released, step by step restricting the remuneration of big-name stars, strictly reviewing production costs, and controlling investment...Leaving room for businessmen to rely on making movies to make some quick money and profit from it , it is getting smaller and smaller...

If you want to make more money, you have to desperately reduce production costs; to reduce production costs, you must control the actors' share of remuneration.However, the prices of the actors have been lowered, which is tantamount to directly exploiting the profits of the brokerage company, which means they earn less money. "Jiahuang Brothers", a gigantic battleship that has expanded infinitely in both the film and television manufacturing industry and the entertainment brokerage industry, finally encountered a paradox in its own development one day. The idea of ​​making money has become a contradictory system. It's really uncomfortable to suppress yourself, cut off your hands and feet, and stab your own chrysanthemum!

The giant battleship is turning around in the ocean full of ice floes, and this road is coming to an end.

With a cold face, Zhang Shaochi pulled the car door and sat in. His mind was overwhelmed by many things. When he got in, he realized that Pei Yan was waiting for him in the back seat.

The driver got out of the car very winkingly, and stood in the wind smoking a cigarette.

"Let's talk about something, what do you want to do?" Zhang Shaochi took off his coat and threw it on the front seat without looking at anyone.

"Second uncle." Pei Yan greeted.

"Who is your second uncle?!" Zhang Shaochi sneered, thinking that this little monkey is really thick-skinned, he can stretch, bend and act, he is really a first-class talent in the entertainment industry.

"I know I've caused you trouble this time, I just came here to express my opinion to you." Pei Yan said with her head down.

"What's your attitude? Are you going to terminate the contract with me?" Zhang Shaochi looked forward, his chest heaving slightly.

I signed an artist management contract for seven years at the beginning, and it will expire in more than four years. If I want to terminate the contract, I will file a lawsuit to discuss compensation.

But, who really wants to tear their face into a lawsuit?Disaster for both parties.What's more, we are still our own family members, relatives, turning your face is just a joke for all your competitors to see your family.

When this gigantic battleship was established, it was still a small company, and it was named "Jiahuang Brothers". The founders were Zhang Shaochi and his "dry brother" in his compound, who was also Pei Yan's eldest uncle.At the beginning, Zhang Shaochi was not the big boss, but the vice president. Soon after, he took over the film and television business and performed the duties of the chairman.

So, how could the company have a contract lawsuit with Pei Xiaobald?

Even if he is pissed off, he can't afford to offend this ancestor.

"So, what do you want?" Zhang Shaochi said.

"I want to go solo and set up a studio," Pei Yan said.

Zhang Shaochi raised his eyes and stared at Pei Yan, his eyes were very cruel, he knew it a long time ago.

Only a few years have passed, and the wings have hardened, and I am impatient to fly out of the cage.

"Run on me, take advantage of the situation to rob me, and add insult to injury?" Zhang Shaochi said, "It's cruel enough."

Jiahuang is facing a split and business reorganization, and more than one big-name artist is planning to leave the brokerage company, and set up his own studio for self-production, self-management and self-marketing, so that Jiahuang will not be allowed to share the meat.

The surface is calm and the sea is calm, but there are already layers of waves under the water surface, and sooner or later it will overwhelm the river and sea.

"No, I don't take advantage of the fire, I don't want to break up with you." Pei Yan said seriously, "I just want to set up a studio, not for myself, but for my brother Xiao. He can't be helpless when he returns to China to develop. Yes, you have to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade and not be bullied. The reason I set up a studio is to sign him."

Zhang Shaochi did not expect this to be the case.

"You want to sign him?" Zhang Shaochi asked quickly, "What about you?"

"Yes, I will sign Zhuang Xiao." Pei Yan said, "Mr. Zhang, you can continue to sign me."

"If I open a studio, I can let A Xiao have a foothold in Beijing and have a place to belong to. In addition, my studio is shaded by a big tree like Mr. Zhang. With you covering me, I do things. It's also convenient." Pei Yan smiled after planning for a long time.

"Oh, what a beautiful idea. You rely on Lao Tzu as a big tree, but you don't give Lao Tzu a 'title'?" Zhang Shaochi expressed dissatisfaction and displeasure.

"Why do you still want a title? You can do it if you have benefits!" Pei Yan rolled his eyes, "In name, we terminate the contract peacefully, and you generously let me fly solo, and you will gain a good reputation. In private, I will give it to you as usual. You work part-time, and continue to pay you bridge tolls until the contract expires. In this way, it is worthy of you to bring me into the circle to cultivate my kindness, do you think it?... I will pay you a fifty-fifty share of the money, I Speaking of 1000 million film remuneration, I will pay you 500 million, is that enough?"

Zhang Shaochi suddenly understood Pei Yan's true intention.

The little monkey was actually at a disadvantage.

After tossing for a long time, it was not for myself.

According to the terms of the contract, for the first two years of signing a newcomer, [-]% will be paid, and from the third year, it will be [-]% on June, and then [-]% on July [-]. Pei Yan took the initiative to reduce his income, and he only gets [-]% of the interest.

After a long silence, Zhang Shaochi said, "You made such a big sacrifice just for Zhuang Xiao."

Pei Yan smiled easily: "Cough—this is still a sacrifice, isn't it just a few years less money? For you, this is a sacrifice, but I don't think it is a sacrifice. How much money can buy Zhuang Xiao? He likes me! "

Zhang Shaochi was at a loss for words.

The man said in a low voice in deep thought: "I used to underestimate you, little monkey, it's really kind and righteous to do this."

"Of course." Pei Yan licked his lips and smiled, "Only when there is love can there be righteousness. Ah Xiao is willing to stay in the country for me and stay with me. He is the one who made the greatest sacrifice. How much pressure he bears, I will charge less for him. What's a little money?...Money is nothing."

"You're nothing without money, and you're nothing without money." Zhang Shaochi said coldly.

Pei Yan retorted without hesitation: "Second uncle, you are richer than me, how rich you are. Are you happy every day when you are rich? Are you happy every day? Sleeping with money, looking at a pile of red banknotes can imagine the feeling of orgasm!  …

"I have my brother Xiao who loves me. He said he loves me and loves me all his life. Do you have it? Those little fairies who are rushing to climb your bed, why don't you ask them what they think, some people really love you , like you, fancy you, everyone in the quilt is the world-class actor and actress."

Pei Yan has almost said it, so don't scold the big horse monkey in a hurry.

He agreed with Zhang Shaochi about the general concept of the studio, and on behalf of his parents, especially Ms. Xu Qishang, he greeted the old lady of Zhang's family. A major event was accomplished, and he got out of the car and left.

Zhang Shaochi's side face reflected on the car window is iron gray, which is the same color as the cashmere coat on his body.

His fingers trembled a little, and he really wanted to hit someone, but instead of hitting the little monkey, he took out a cigarette from his coat pocket.

Taking out a cigarette but there was no fire, Zhang Shaochi yelled at his driver inexplicably, don't you know to put a lighter in the car!

……

That night, Mr. Zhang was drinking in the club of Jiahuang Building.

With Mr. Zhang being the main force, the male protagonist who was fortunate to star in the fantasy drama, nicknamed "Peach Dragon", also came to the club tonight, his eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Zhang, and he took the initiative to greet and chat , pour wine to accompany the wine...

Someone in the company saw it, and the actor left with his boss that night, and graciously sent Mr. Zhang home.

As for the follow-up, it's all gossip and gossip.

The big bed in the master bedroom of Mr. Zhang’s villa was not trampled or crushed by anyone. In fact, few people can enter the threshold of that room. "Peach Dragon" couldn't go upstairs and enter the house at all. It was on the first floor, in the bathroom next to the living room, and was slapped to the ground by Zhang Shaochi...

Since you are here to sell it, how you want to sell it is up to you.

If you are asked to kneel, you have to kneel, and if you are asked to lick, you must lick obediently.If the boss wants to shoot him in the mouth, he has to swallow every drop of the rewarded juice.

Zhang Shaochi pressed the other person's head and asked, do you like me, do you fancy me!Hurt?Even if it hurts, show it to me, you feel good, you feel comfortable, you don’t feel any pain at all!Are you not an actor? You have no acting skills!

According to Xiaodao gossip, "Taozilong" entered the intestinal department the next day.Of course, it was said that I went to the hospital to "cut the hemorrhoids", it may be an anal fissure.

Kneeling is also risky, the floor is very hard, and the chrysanthemum is also fragile and painful.

However, if you want to stand upright without kneeling, and have enough courage to stand upright and fight the snow, which way will make it easier for you?

……
