Guan Yahua held the re-checked budget sheet in his hand, pushed open the door of the study, sat down beside Jin Ce, and slapped the budget sheet on the desk with a sullen face.
"What's the matter? Who is this mad at?" Jin Ce opened the budget sheet and checked each item carefully.
"What kind of ghost makeup artist I'm looking for, the price starts from the ground, and another 50,000 yuan will be added." Guan Yahua's eyes were red with anger, "50,000 yuan, we can add a guide rail, why should we give it to her? It's not too famous, and the technology is just like that."
Jin Ce took his girlfriend into his arms and patted his back, and said helplessly, "Others see us as newcomers, and bullying us doesn't know how to do it. Don't be angry, and find another makeup artist."
Their movie has a small part of special effects makeup, and they have to find experienced makeup artists, but the price they give is not high, and it is natural for those makeup artists to dislike this amount of money.
When I was studying, I was full of ideals. I always thought that I was omnipotent and that I could do whatever I wanted. He wanted to make his ideal movie without being swayed by investors and the market, but when he really started to do it, he found that there were too many difficulties forcing them to compromise with reality. No matter what they do, they need money , without money, talking about ideals is just a joke.
He made an excuse to the eldest brother for money, and the eldest brother stuffed several artists into the crew that he had finally pulled up.
"Forget it, I'll ask my friends to see if there are other makeup artists willing to come to our crew." Guan Yahua sighed, "Also, what about Yu Siyang? Will it affect us? movie of?"
Jin Ce couldn't help laughing, and turned the computer screen in the direction of his girlfriend, "Look at this, the official news from P&H."
"P&H?" Guan Yahua took a closer look and said in surprise, "Yu Siyang has become their annual spokesperson for China next year? I'll be good, he just debuted not long ago."
Speaking of this, Jin Ce felt very proud, "Fortunately, we signed a filming contract with him long ago. If it is now, where can we sign that kind of cabbage price."
"Yes, you have the best eyesight." Guan Yahua smiled.
"Of course, if my eyesight is not good, how can I fall in love with you." Jin Ce held Guan Yahua's hand, and the love in his eyes overflowed.
Guan Yahua's face was reddish, and he smiled at Jin Ce, Jin Ce also looked back with a smirk, the two in love looked at each other foolishly and laughed non-stop until a call came to Jin Ce's cell phone.
Jin Ce saw the caller number displayed on the screen, and reluctantly connected, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"How are the preparations for the launch press conference?" Zhang Jia asked on the other end of the phone.
"We are a poor crew, low-budget movie, what is the launch conference?" Jin Ce said strangely: "I don't have that spare time."
He originally said that he wanted to invest in making movies by himself, but he was ridiculed enough by his elder brother, saying that he had no experience in messing around. When he asked his eldest brother to borrow some money, he would put artists into his crew in a frenzied manner, and even more, he also put an assistant director who looked like an uncle, which was really perverted.
"The main character you chose is all right." Zhang Jia said again.
"Of course, don't look at who chose it, it's much better than the ghosts you forced in." Jin Ce said this, his nose is not his nose, not his eyes, "You people, only Hong Zhehao can see it. , the others have to have acting skills and lack of acting skills, and have to look good, brother, I'm not telling you, you will finish Jiace sooner or later."
Zhang Jia felt that he was really sick. Ever since he objected to his brother's investment in making movies, this kid always said good things to him, but he still called every once in a while to care about the progress of his crew.
Isn't he all for him? He just graduated from college and has no experience at all. He doesn't listen to his arrangement to study with Chu Quan, and he has to invest in making a funny movie by himself.
And it was because of his tight budget that he arranged for Jiace's artists to go to his crew. The remuneration was all paid by his brother himself. He was not grateful, and he was always sneering.
"Brother, I'm so busy that I don't have time to chat with you. Hang up." Jin Ce said and hung up the phone.
It seems that I have a lot of free time. If I hadn't seen you as my brother, I would have beaten you up long ago. Zhang Jia threw the phone on the desk, depressed, the older the younger brother, the less cute he was.
"Mr. Zhang, are you looking for me?"
There were several knocks on the door of the office, and Lian Jing stood at the door with no expression on his face.
"Sit." Zhang Jia stood up from behind the desk, led Lian Jing to the sofa to sit down, and ordered his assistant to pour two cups of tea in.
After the assistant brought tea in, he closed the door of the office and left.
Lian Jing sipped the tea lightly and waited for Zhang Jia to speak.
"Hong Zhehao and Yu Siyang have a good relationship, right?" Although Zhang Jia was asking Lian Jing, his tone was very determined.
Even Jing nodded, this is not something to hide.
"Hong Zhehao's willingness to take on the film directed by Jin Ce is partly because of Yu Siyang, right?" Otherwise, who would be willing to accept a film with a low cost, a new director, and a new screenwriter
It's really not Zhang Jia's own younger brother. His crew is very unreliable at first glance. If it weren't for his relationship with the General Administration, it is estimated that his movie would not be able to make it to the theater. Famous artists, regardless of their acting skills, would not be willing to take on such a script. If they can't go to the theater, their hard work for a few months will be in vain. Isn't this a good time to waste money.
If he didn't see that his younger brother had no money to hire actors, he wouldn't put people in it. Who would be willing to go to his poor production crew with some well-known actors in the company, and only newcomers who didn't debut would be willing to go. He is so impressed by China. The older brother is still not understood by the younger brother.
However, Hong Zhehao's willingness to take over this movie surprised Zhang Jia.
Although Hong Zhehao is still not a movie star, his popularity is there. He spends hundreds of thousands for an episode of a TV series, but he is willing to accept this movie that only pays as little as one episode of his TV series. It's like doing charity. .
Lian Jing said lightly: "Xiaohao is seeking a transformation, and this film by Director Jin is a good opportunity." Otherwise, he would not have given the script to Hong Zhehao.
However, as far as Hong Zhehao himself is concerned, the main reason why he took over the film was that Yu Siyang was also in the crew.
"Since it's a good opportunity, let's stir up some topics to make the movie hotter." Zhang Jia was heartbroken for his younger brother, "How about making a CP for Hong Zhehao and Yu Siyang?"
Lian Jing looked at Zhang Jia coldly and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you serious?"
"Of course."
"...you're the boss, just be happy."
Lian Jing walked out of the president's office with a look of indifference, and suddenly regretted letting Hong Zhehao take over the play "Pretending to Be Too Much".
Hong Zhehao is now sitting in the Xue family villa waiting for the dessert Yu Siyang made for him, so happy.
Two days ago, he saw that Yu Siyang was hacked by the whole network. He remembered the stupid things he had done in the past, and he was worried and a little guilty. It took a long time to get up the courage to call Yu Siyang.
Before the call was connected, he was still thinking, if Yu Siyang remembered that he had hacked him before and ignored him, how would he apologize to him.
Unexpectedly, Yu Siyang never mentioned the matter of being hacked by the whole network, and even invited him to be a guest for afternoon tea.
There is something delicious, Hong Zhehao and Lian Jing said, and ran away.
"Yu Siyang, no one scolds you on the Internet now, right?"
"It should be gone, I don't know."
Yu Siyang sprayed a layer of pink chocolate frosting on the cream with a chocolate spray gun, and the surface of the dessert became velvety. He brought out the raspberry strawberry fruit tea that had been brewed long ago along with the dessert, and when Hong Zhehao saw it The eyes are straight for such a delicate and beautiful dessert.
Yu Siyang used a silver table knife to cut the dessert, and an elegant fragrance of jasmine mixed with the sweet fragrance of strawberries came out.
"Wow—" Hong Zhehao was lying on the table, watching with good eyes.
The bottom of the dessert is a crispy crepe, the crepe is topped with a jasmine-flavored cake, the cake is topped with raspberry strawberry jam, and then topped with jasmine tea cream, the cream is divided into two layers, and the top layer of thin cream is decorated in a swirl shape , sprayed with a layer of chocolate frosting.
The whole dessert presents a dreamy color. Hong Zhehao's hand with the spoon trembled. He took a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The elegant fragrance of jasmine and the sweet fragrance of strawberry alternated in the mouth.
The soft cream and fluffy cakes are wrapped in jam and mixed in the mouth, and the sweetness is inexhaustible, making people reluctant to swallow them.
Paired with the sweet and delicious raspberry strawberry fruit tea, the nose is lingering with the fragrance of jasmine, but the sweet fragrance of strawberries is left in the mouth, which is really the ultimate enjoyment.
"Ah... I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time." Hong Zhehao leaned back in the chair with a contented expression, his eyes were curved.
"Is your agent still restricting your diet?" Yu Siyang asked.
Hong Zhehao nodded frantically and said pitifully, "Yes, yes, you don't even know what life I have been living during this time. It's miserable to eat vegetables and radishes every day."
Yu Siyang looked at Hong Zhehao's body up and down, and slowly drank the fruit tea in the cup, thinking to himself: Eating vegetables and radishes doesn't make you look skinny, it really is easy to get fat.
Hong Zhehao ate the dessert in small bites, fearing that he would finish it soon, "You were hacked this time, is it really the sailor hired by Pang Yujie to do it? What is he trying to do?"
Yu Siyang said casually, "I used to be on a variety show with him before, and I stole his shots, so I probably remembered the grudge at that time."
"How small-minded this person is." Hong Zhehao was amazed, "I asked the sailor to blackmail you at that time, and he also jumped out to ridicule you inexplicably. I was still surprised at the time, how can this person be a mad dog." But at that time he There is a hole in his head, he feels that someone is on his side, Hei Yu Siyang, and he is quite happy.
"Isn't there a saying on the Internet?" Yu Siyang smiled, "I just like the way you can't stand me and can't kill me. Well, Pang Yujie should be like this."
"Yu Siyang, you've learned badly."
"Not as good as Ruhl."
The dessert was only the size of a palm, and it didn't take a while to eat it, Hong Zhehao put down the spoon, held the cup and drank tea melancholy, "I don't know when the next time I will eat this kind of unparalleled and delicious dessert, you don't know, I Now snacks have become whole grain biscuits, and the biscuits are so hard that they are about to change."
"Then you still eat?" Yu Siyang asked with a chuckle.
"But what if you don't eat? There are no other snacks." Hong Zhehao was depressed, "If I were so thin, I would dare to let it go, and I could even endorse P&H."
Yu Siyang said: "I don't dare to let go of eating." He had a bad stomach, so he let go of eating, and he might have to go to the hospital to hang water.
"But I didn't think about it. You just made your debut, and you can endorse P&H. I've been out for a few years, and I don't have the resources of first-line big names." Hong Zhehao said enviously.
Yu Siyang didn't know how to comfort people. In this situation, he seemed to be suspected of showing off, so he had to keep silent.
Hong Zhehao thought very openly, and continued: "The Great Demon King said that I used to shoot Tianlei idol dramas. Although I was in the top line of the TV circle, in the fashion industry, I was not very high-end, so few luxury goods came to me."
"From now on, I will join the film industry as a newcomer." He took Yu Siyang's hand and said enthusiastically, "It just so happens that we will act in a movie together again, and we will work together to become an international superstar."
"Okay, let's work together." Yu Siyang was infected by his warm-blooded appearance, and nodded seriously.
Hong Zhehao stared at Yu Siyang and said, "In that case, in order to encourage ourselves, let's make another dessert to eat."
Yu Siyang: "..."
It turns out that you said it so passionately, just to let me make another dessert to eat.
I was so stupid that I wanted to cry.
