Even if Chen Ke received a call from them for cooperation with a big crew like "Cultivation of Truth", they would not dare to disclose it to the public. No one can guarantee that things will change before the filming starts.
When Gong Xiqiao went to Director Wang to ask for leave, Director Wang was eating peanuts and drinking a little wine with several big men in the crew. When he saw him coming in, Director Wang greeted him to drink together.
After having two drinks with Director Wang, Gong Xiqiao mentioned to Director Wang that he was going to ask for leave tomorrow.
As the lead male lead of the crew, Gong Xiqiao's attitude towards filming, no one can say in his conscience that he is not dedicated to his work. This pampered rich second generation did not hesitate to blink.
So now he wants to take a half-day leave, and Director Wang immediately agreed. As a famous domestic guide, Wang Dao naturally has a channel to understand the gossip. He was aware of the fact that the "Cultivation" crew invited Gong Xiqiao to audition, but now Gong Xiqiao suddenly asked him for leave, and he didn't explain the reason, so he vaguely guessed something.
There is such a good opportunity for the young actor he is optimistic about. Director Wang must support it, but because there are other people present, he can't say anything more. You can hold your breath, that's fine."
If Gong Xiqiao had already announced that he was the male lead of "Cultivation of Truth", it would have made people feel that he was impetuous. Director Wang is a bit picky, and he agrees with Gong Xiqiao's current way of doing things, so he couldn't help but ask a few more words.
"Thank you Director Wang, I know," Gong Xiqiao smiled, "it's getting late, you should drink less, be careful when Aunt Yao finds out about you."
"Don't talk nonsense, kid, she won't know," Director Wang paused while holding the wine glass in his hand, coughing dryly with some guilty conscience, "When my family asks, don't talk nonsense."
Gong Xiqiao saw Director Wang's strict wife's look, smiled and said goodbye, then got up and said goodbye. The main members of the crew were sitting together for dinner, and there must be other things to discuss. He stayed here all the time. Too suitable. Although he is also an investor in this drama, since he said at the beginning that he would delegate all power to Director Wang, then he must keep his word, lest he will get a reputation for going back on his word soon after he enters this circle.
"Young Master Qiao..." After Gong Xiqiao left, the screenwriter gave a thumbs up, "I haven't seen such a young man who can handle things for a long time." Now the young artists in the circle are one after another, and there are many methods. It's a pity that emotional intelligence is not enough, and the overall quality is not as good as those of the artists ten years ago.
"A student who can be publicly praised by Imperial College, can he be smart?" The field manager has been with Director Wang all the year round. He has gone through a lot of things, and his usual hobby is listening to gossip in his spare time. "Last year, he brought money into the The group only got one male No. 3 role, how long has it been, and it has come to this point, if there is no real ability, Wang Dao dare to let him play the leading role?"
How much Director Wang valued this script, several of their old buddies know it, he dared to use Gong Xiqiao, certainly not because of the tens of millions of investment.
"You guys are hundreds of years old together, and you still pay attention to the gossip of the younger generation?" Director Wang took a peanut with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, chewed it down, and gushed after the liquor. He smiled and said, "I have a hunch that my play will become a classic that will be praised decades later because of him, and he will also reach another peak because of this play."
When several old buddies heard this, they were a little bit tongue-tied. How could Lao Wang value Gong Xiqiao so much? !
However, in recent years, Lao Wang has indeed become popular with many artists, and even Gu Nan, who is now popular all over the country, has become popular because of his role in Lao Wang's play. But even Gu Nan, who has a lot of fame abroad, couldn't get Pharaoh to praise him so much. Is Gong Xiqiao so special
They didn't believe that Gong Xiqiao could be more powerful than Gu Nan.
This is the first time Gong Xiqiao has stepped into the Xi's headquarters building. Looking at the industry elites who keep coming and going, Gong Xiqiao pushed the brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and followed Chen Ke into the elevator with two assistants.
In addition to the four of them in the elevator, there were also several employees of Xi's family. Some people recognized Gong Xiqiao. Although they were a little excited, they did not abruptly step up to ask for a photo or autograph.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. After the staff watched Gong Xiqiao and his group go out, a female staff member said excitedly, "Young Master Qiao is so handsome, I am even more handsome than on TV."
"That's right, the skin on his face is really good, and he has no flaws at all," another female staff member said enviously, "Isn't it that artists wear makeup every day, and his skin is very bad? Why is his skin so good? "
"Because he is my male god," the female staff member who spoke first patted her slightly flushed cheeks, "After my close observation, the male god's face is pure natural and unprocessed." Speaking of this, She couldn't help holding her face with a smile, "The male god is so perfect, why don't I love him?"
"Che, say it as if you love him, and he can look at you one more time."
Gong Xiqiao didn't know that there were two female staff in the elevator who were so handsome by him. As soon as they got out of the elevator, someone from the crew came to receive them, because the other party's attitude was too friendly, so friendly that Chen, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, was so friendly. Ke Du had some doubts that the various bullying he encountered before was due to his bad luck.
"Everyone, please come this way," the female secretary led them to the door of the office, smiled politely at them, and left.
The office door was open, Gong Xiqiao saw two people sitting inside, one of whom he knew was an assistant surnamed Gou beside Xi Qing.
Gou Tezhu was talking to the person in charge of "Cultivation", and when he heard the movement at the door, he turned around and saw that it was Gong Xiqiao.
"Assistant Gou," Gong Xiqiao took off his sunglasses and smiled at Assistant Gou, "I'm sorry for disturbing the work of the two of you."
"It's not an important matter, not to mention that it's already finished," Gou Te helped look at Gong Xiqiao, and then looked back at the person in charge, "Are you the male lead who is coming to sign a contract today?"
Gong Xiqiao saw Gou Tesuke's somewhat surprised expression and nodded, "Thanks to your crew for being so important to me."
When the person in charge saw the polite attitude towards Gongxi Qiao Shi, the person in charge felt confident, so he smiled and said, "Qiao Shao is polite, it is our honor that you are willing to cooperate with us."
Assistant Gou did not expect that the crew had already selected Gong Xiqiao as the male lead before he had time to intervene. He took the contract to be signed with Gong Xiqiao from the person in charge, and read it roughly. The contract is also very fair and just. As for the remuneration, he doesn't know Gong Xiqiao's current worth, so he doesn't know whether it is suitable or not, so he has no opinion on this.
Putting down the contract in his hand, Gou Tezhu said with a smile, "The boss must be very happy to know that you are here. I still have something to do, so I won't disturb your business and go first." Knowing that Qiao Shao came over, why did he have to talk to the boss? Say.
"Gou Tesuke walk slowly," the person in charge sent Gou Tesuke away and smiled at Gong Xiqiao, "Young Master Qiao, Teacher Chen, and two young people please take a seat."
"Thank you Manager Zhou." After Gong Xiqiao and the others sat down, the secretary who had brought them over brought tea in, put it in front of them, and then silently backed out.
Manager Zhou smiled. Although he also held the title of a manager, he was actually just a middle-level manager at Xi's headquarters. In front of Assistant Gou, he didn't dare to say a heavy word. Taking back the contract that Gou Te had seen on the table, Manager Zhou took out another contract from the drawer and handed it to Gong Xiqiao.
Gong Xiqiao took it with both hands, thanked him and handed it to Chen Ke, and then began to chat politely with Manager Zhou.
Originally, Manager Zhou, who was worried that Gong Xiqiao would be difficult to get in touch with, the more he talked to Gong Xiqiao, the more relaxed he became and the better his impression of Gong Xiqiao.
Anyone who is faced with a personable, polite and learned young man can't help but feel good in his heart. Manager Zhou, who originally replaced the B contract with the A contract because of the big boss's face, now feels that only the A contract does not count as burying Gong Xiqiao.
There are always people like this in the world who can easily turn a person's vigilance into affinity, nitpicking into satisfaction, and politeness into goodwill.
When Chen Ke looked up after reading the contract, he found that Manager Zhou, who was sitting opposite, was already chatting and laughing with Gong Xiqiao, and the closeness and affection in his words were so straightforward that he could feel it.
Facing this kind of scene, Chen Ke twitched the corners of his mouth in a small arc, and then said: "Manager Zhou, the contract you have drawn up is very reasonable, and we have no opinion." This is not reasonable, it is purely generous. This remuneration price is given according to the price of the first-line celebrities, which is far higher than Gong Xiqiao's current worth.
"Since Teacher Chen has no objection, what else does Xiao Qiao have?" Manager Zhou looked at Gong Xiqiao with a smile.
Chen Ke's hand trembled when he took the contract. How long has it been since he evolved from Shao Qiao to Xiao Qiao
"Uncle Zhou is a kind person. Brother Chen said there is no problem. It must be no problem." Gong Xiqiao took the contract and signed his name in duplicate. After signing, Gong Xiqiao handed it back to Zhou. The manager took a share, stretched out his hand and shook with Manager Zhou, "I'm sorry Uncle Zhou."
Chen Ke wiped his face silently. It turns out that they have also evolved from Manager Zhou to Uncle Zhou
"Haha, Xiao Qiao, you're welcome to say that," Manager Zhou said after shaking hands with Gong Xiqiao, "After the film starts, I will be the producer of this drama. If there is any problem with Xiao Qiao, just tell me. I'll do it."
"Then I'm welcome," Gong Xiqiao smiled, showing a few white teeth, looking like an outstanding teenager next door.
During the meeting, Xi Qing looked at his watch twice in a row. As soon as the meeting was over, he took the lead out of the meeting room. This positive attitude made the participants stunned. What is the urgency of the boss
Everyone looked at Assistant Gou at a loss, and seeing the unpredictable look on the other side's face, they suppressed the curiosity in their hearts. Curiosity killed the cat. Even if the boss was in a hurry to see his sweetheart, they couldn't control it.
After Gong Xiqiao was personally escorted out of the office door by Manager Zhou, he saw Xi Qing standing a few steps away. He turned his head and nodded to Manager Zhou and walked quickly towards Xi Qing.
Manager Zhou stood at the door, staring at the big boss dumbfounded, secretly amazed, it seems that the big boss and Xiao Qiao are really close friends, otherwise why would they come to wait for him
"Why are you here?" Gong Xiqiao walked side by side beside Xi Qing, glanced at the time, there was still half an hour before get off work time.
"I heard from the assistant that you came over to sign a contract today, so I'll take a look." Xi Qing pressed the down button on the elevator and looked back at Chen Ke and the other three who were silent, "If you're not busy returning to the crew in the afternoon, you and I'll have lunch together and go back."
"Okay," the elevator door opened, Gong Xiqiao walked into the elevator, and said to Xi Qing, who came in one step behind him, "I heard that there is a very good restaurant nearby, and I wanted to find a day with you. Go and try it, since we all have time today, why don't we go now."
Xi Qing nodded and stood with Gong Xiqiao.
At the end, Chen Ke pressed down on the floor and stood a little further away from the two assistants. Although he didn't know why, he intuitively told him that Xi Qing probably didn't like the character of strangers getting too close to him.
One second before stepping out of the elevator, Gong Xiqiao put on his brown sunglasses again, and then smiled at Xi Qing: "Do you think I look like a boss with glasses?"
Chen Ke: Hehe, you are only 1.8 meters tall, how about the boss
It's a pity that as soon as he finished hehehe in the bottom of his heart, he saw Xi Qing nodded. Turning his head silently, Chen Ke felt that he could not understand the vision of the rich.
When he finally got into the car, Chen Ke watched Gong Xiqiao get into Xi Qing's car, and he, He Peng and Xiaoyao got into the car arranged by the company.
"Brother Chen, do you think... we are redundant?" In the quiet carriage, Xiao Yao bravely told the truth.
Chen Ke looked at her numbly: "So what?"
"Why don't we go to eat?" Xiao Yao shrank her neck. "Seeing President Xi, I don't dare to eat well at all. I will definitely need to take digestive medicine when I go back."
Chen Ke wiped his face and didn't want to speak again, as if he could eat well.
Five people, a table full of dishes, the dishes are very rich, but three people can't eat. Xiao Yao looked at Gong Xi Qiao, who had a good appetite and was chatting with Xi Qing leisurely, and a feeling of admiration came to her heart. As expected of Shao Qiao, she would not have stage fright in front of anyone, even if she was facing Master Xi. , can be so comfortable.
"Is you the male lead set in "Cultivation of Truth"?" Xi Qing picked up a chopstick and ate a dish that Gong Xi Qiao thought was delicious, "I heard two days ago that the screenwriter of this play wanted to set a favorite male lead. I patted the table with the crew, but I didn't expect that it was you that she liked."
"What else is going on?" Gong Xiqiao widened his eyes with interest, "No wonder the male lead was decided so quickly."
Xi Qing smiled and used the public chopsticks to pick up a piece of honey pork ribs that Gong Xiqiao liked and put it on his plate.
Picking up the spare ribs with a smile, Gong Xiqiao finished eating it with relish, "Fortunately, the screenwriter won, otherwise I might not be able to be the hero of this play."
The corners of Xi Qing's mouth moved, but she did not speak.
If Gong Xiqiao really likes this drama, then no matter who in the crew likes or hates it, the final male lead will only be him.
It's a pity that Xi Qing couldn't say these words. He always felt that saying these words would humiliate Gong Xiqiao's ability.
"However, with your number one big fan, I can't be more competitive than others," Gong Xiqiao's eyes widened with a smile, showing a hint of pride, "If I lose the competition, I can still look for you as a backer. , help my male lead snatch it over."
"It's a pity that you are too good, my backer is useless." Xi Qing also gave Gong Xiqiao the last piece of honey pork ribs.
With his chopsticks stretched out in the air, Chen Ke bent his hand abruptly, and took a dish he didn't like with the chopsticks into the bowl.
In the eyes of this uncle Xi, there are probably only two people on this table, that is, he and Xiao Qiao. As for the three of them, it means that there is no one.
Fortunately, this Master Xi was very polite and did not look down on them at all. On the contrary, when ordering food just now, he asked their opinions very gracefully.
But despite the other party's demeanor, he could still feel that for Xi Qing, Gong Xiqiao was the only one who really needed attention.
Having seen too many complicated things in the circle, Chen Ke couldn't bear to think too much, but seeing how the two of them got along naturally, Chen Ke felt that he thought too much.
The most important thing is that Xiao Qiao is not someone who is easy to suffer. So after having this knowledge, Chen Ke has a lot of confidence.
