Entrusted with an important task, Wei Lun stood at attention, straightened his back, and gave a standard military salute with his left hand: "I guarantee to complete the task."
This mission was a completely new and unfamiliar field for him, but so what? When have we ever been afraid of difficulties as soldiers? We must have the determination and courage to overcome all difficulties.
Wei Lun suddenly did this, and Su Ran was stunned. This way of expressing determination was really... exciting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wei Lun showed up, the application procedures were completed immediately.
The thing that gave Su Ran a headache yesterday was solved in an instant. It felt like a dream.
The application was settled, and the subsequent operations were no longer a big deal, but there was still a lot of work to be done, such as hiring legal advisors, medical advisors, forming a medical team... etc. Wei Lun volunteered to take on all these tasks.
Ning Xi negotiated the terms of cooperation with the variety show team, and the other party immediately sent the contract. After Ning Xi confirmed that it was correct, not long after, they sent the express delivery number, indicating that the contract had been sent out and they had already stamped it. As long as Ning Xi stamped it, the contract would be concluded.
This was the most efficient partner Ning Xi had ever seen. After settling the variety show matter, Ning Xi thought about Wan Li, who had agreed to notify her to sign the contract today. However, it was almost time to get off work and Wan Li hadn't called, so Ning Xi called Gu Yunchen.
Gu Yunchen didn't answer and hung up the phone.
The number you dialed is currently in use...
Ning Xi was very angry. What did you mean? It was you, Wanli, who was anxious to sign the contract before. Now you are silent and you even hung up when I called you.
According to Ning Xi's temper, she will fight back immediately until you answer, regardless of whether you can say a word or not.
But this is not a private matter, it is a business matter, and you can't just follow your own temper. It's not like she hasn't seen this kind of thing before. Some people just keep you hanging on purpose. They obviously have already agreed upon something, but then they suddenly raise all kinds of problems. Either they don't want to hire you anymore, or they want you to lower your requirements. It's like going shopping, and the customer bargains with the merchant. The merchant agrees to buy, but the customer doesn't want to buy anymore, or they think the price is still too high and hope the merchant can make it a little cheaper.
She was not sure what Gu Yunchen meant, so she resisted the urge to call him again.
About half an hour later, Ning Xi was about to go out for dinner when Gu Yunchen called back.
"Ning Xi, I was in a meeting just now, so it's not convenient for me to answer the phone."
Ning Xi said calmly, "Oh, I don't have anything to do. I was just busy all day, and suddenly I remembered that you asked me to go to Wanli to sign the contract today. I can't make it in time, so I wanted to tell you."
"Would it be convenient for us to have dinner together?"
"There's something I want to tell you." Gu Yunchen added.
Ning Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling: "If you have anything to say, just talk over the phone!"
"It's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk in person. I'll pick you up."
Ning Xi thought for a moment and said, "Where are we going to eat? I'll just go there and save time."
An hour later, Ning Xi arrived at the place where Gu Yunchen had agreed to meet and entered the private room reserved by Gu Yunchen.
Gu Yunchen seemed very tired and exhausted.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well? You look a little ugly." Ning Xi asked casually.
Gu Yunchen smiled bitterly: "After being besieged by a group of people for an entire afternoon, it would be strange if my face looked good."
Ning Xi laughed: "Who is so bold as to attack you, Mr. Gu?"
The waiter came in to take orders. Gu Yunchen motioned for Ning Xi to order. Ning Xi ordered a ribeye steak set meal, medium rare. Gu Yunchen said, "Give me two, medium rare."
"Would you like some red wine?" Gu Yunchen asked.
"No, I'm driving!"
"Have some, I'll ask the driver to take you back later." Gu Yunchen ordered another bottle of Chateau Lafite 2012.
After ordering the dishes, Ning Xi was at her leisure: "What do you want to tell me? Go ahead!"
Gu Yunchen hesitated and said, "We held a project analysis meeting for Eleven this afternoon, and a lot of people were against it."
"Don't tell me that you don't want to film this drama anymore, or that the female lead needs to be replaced." Ning Xi's eyes turned cold.
"We have to shoot it. Otherwise, I'll have to spend the whole afternoon talking to them. It's just that the funds are tight."
Ning Xi smiled coldly. Sure enough, the old trick came again. She really didn't expect that Gu Yunchen would use the same trick on her.
"You mean, you want to reduce the pay?" The sarcasm in Ning Xi's tone was already obvious.
Gu Yunchen shook his head: "It's the agreed pay, it's whatever it is. Ten million, I think it's too little."
Ning Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but since you are determined to shoot this movie and not reduce your pay, why did you call her to tell you
"It's just that right now, there's a problem."
Ning Xi: Uh…
Can you not be so jumpy? Can't you just say it all at once? You have to test other people's hearts.
"What trouble?" Ning Xi pretended to be calm.
"It's true that I'm the general manager of Wanli, but there's also a chairman above me, and a bunch of old employees. No one is optimistic about the movie 'Eleven', and they believe it's a money-losing business. These people are too narrow-minded and only look at the immediate benefits. I said, this movie is aimed at winning awards. Wanli wants to expand its business and influence, and change from just distribution and investment to its own production. Success does not mean making a few profitable films. You have to have truly good works that you can show off. I think 'Eleven' is a starting point and will be a milestone for Wanli." Gu Yunchen said.
