Chapter 1248 Prerequisites for Cooperation
Ning Hao has a lot of shrewdness of his own.
He has never revealed to Xie Yu on the phone that he wants Liu Ye to play the male number one in "Flying Tigers". His biggest worry is to leak the news in advance. If the other party's agency seizes this point and insists on letting him go, then it will be dealt with. It's a little troublesome, and he doesn't know Liu Ye's character and character. It's better to talk about this kind of thing directly on the phone. It's better to have a few words in person, and then find a suitable opportunity to speak after you have a certain judgment on him.
Whether it is for Xie Yu or Liu Ye himself, even if it is just a chance to get a certain role in this movie, it is already a great thing for them, and no one dares to expect it. I have the opportunity to play the leading role in such an unprecedented big production.
The weather in Yanjing was still very cold at this time, but Liu Ye deliberately wore a thin suit in order to look formal. The suit set off the whole person and looked extraordinarily energetic, but Xie Yu said worriedly: "You wear so little. It will definitely be cold going out later, why don't you order a down jacket outside!"
"No, no, no." Liu Ye waved his hands seriously, looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his collar, and said very seriously: "Actors must have the professionalism of an actor. As long as the director needs it, they can wear cotton-padded jackets during the dog days." , You can wear shorts for three or nine days, and it’s outrageous to wear a down jacket over a suit.”
Xie Yu said: "It's not asking you to audition, or filming, but just going out for a meal, it doesn't matter if you wear more clothes."
Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not make any mistakes. I'll just wear this, it's fine."
Xie Yu couldn't resist him, so he nodded.
Ning Hao drove the GL8 provided by the company and arrived at the gate of Liu Ye's rented community on time. Because Liu Ye was afraid that Ning Hao would wait for him, he and Xie Kui had already waited on the side of the road in advance, blowing in the cold wind. After more than ten minutes, Liu Ye was completely frozen.
After stopping the car in front of the two, Ning Hao put down the passenger window and said to the two, "Liu Ye, Xie Yu, hello, I'm Ning Hao."
Before this, Liu Ye and Xie Yu basically had no idea about Ning Hao's appearance. When seeing Ning Hao, Liu Ye was slightly taken aback, feeling that the image of the old man, his dress, and the way he was sitting in the car at this time were all different. How to look like a black car driver.
However, Liu Ye quickly came back to his senses, nodded to Ning Hao politely, and said respectfully, "Hello, brother Hao!"
Xie Yu also bowed and said hello, "Brother Hao!"
Ning Hao didn't expect Liu Ye, the winner of the Golden Horse Award, to be as polite as a college student who hasn't graduated yet, so he waved his hands and smiled, and said, "If Brother Hao is not Brother Hao, just call me Haozi."
After finishing speaking, Ning Hao said in a hurry: "Oh, it's quite cold, you two hurry up and get in the car, and sit in the back row."
"Okay, thank you Brother Hao." Liu Ye said, stretched out his hand and opened the rear door of GL8, because it was a bit difficult to sit inside, so he said to Xie Yu: "I will sit inside."
After saying that, he bent down and got into the car, sat in the back seat, and then stretched out his hand to gently pull Xie Jin in. He also leaned over to the right side of Xie Jin, and pushed and pulled the GL8. The door closes.
Liu Ye's little thoughtfulness was seen by Ning Hao through the rearview mirror of the car, and he thought to himself, this Liu Ye is really a careful person. In most cases, a careful person is more careful in doing things, because At least the attitude is much more human than the average person.
Ning Hao drove the car on the road, and said in a particularly easy-going tone: "It's really cold today, let's just eat hot-boiled mutton. I know that there is a restaurant in Yanjing that has hot-boiled mutton. It tastes great and tastes especially warm."
Liu Ye hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Hao, you can make arrangements, both of us are fine."
Ning Hao asked with a smile: "You don't have any taboos, do you?"
Liu Ye said, "No, neither of us is picky."
Xie Yu also echoed with a smile: "That's right, Brother Hao, I actually really like to eat mutton."
"Well, I'll make a call,
Let them leave me a private room no matter what, let's chat while eating..."
...
In a mutton hot pot restaurant in Dongcheng, Ning Hao ordered a large table of dishes, and greeted Liu Ye to drink some white wine.
Liu Ye agreed without hesitation, but asked worriedly: "Brother Hao, you're driving, isn't it safe to drink?"
Ning Hao waved his hand: "Hey, just park here and take a taxi back. I'll take a taxi to take you back later."
Liu Ye hurriedly said: "Don't bother, we can go back later by ourselves."
Ning Hao smiled and said, "Why are you being polite, I live not far from your place, so I happened to be on the way."
As soon as Liu Ye heard this, he was no longer polite. The waiter brought a very ordinary bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou, filled a glass for each of them, and brought Xie Kuan a bottle of Sprite.
Ning Hao picked up his wine glass and said to the two of them: "This is the first time I'm sitting with you two for dinner. Come, let me toast you."
Liu Ye was flattered and said: "Brother Hao, you are too polite, it should be the two of us who respect you."
Ning Hao waved his hand: "What about you, yours, we are not much different in age, don't make it look like two generations."
After finishing speaking, Ning Hao held his glass high and said, "Come on, let's go first, just do whatever you want!"
Liu Ye has a good capacity for alcohol, and he is honest. Although it is good to be casual, he is afraid that it will be impolite if he drinks too little. He insists on drinking a third of the glass in twos and threes. Ning Hao is not bad at drinking, while drinking , while looking at it from the corner of the eye, he swallowed it in one gulp, and the glass was flattened, which was no different from the wine in Liu Ye's glass.
In fact, if calculated according to the rules of the entertainment industry, Liu Ye's status is much higher than that of Ning Hao. Ning Hao is indeed not well-known, and "Crazy Stone" has not been released yet, and Liu Ye is now the title of actor. , and the salary is not low. It is estimated that when the current TV dramas are completely popular, the salary will be among the first in the country, so there is really no need for him to be so polite with Ning Hao.
However, although Ning Hao himself is hanging on the thread, he has a very close relationship with Li Mu behind the scenes. It can be said that he is Li Mu's spokesperson in the film and television industry, and Li Mu wants to talk about his status, saying that his status is higher than that of national stars. It is not an exaggeration to look taller, so because of the close relationship with Li Mu, looking at the entire entertainment industry, even the most senior and powerful industry big brothers will be polite to Ning Hao, and Liu Ye naturally knows that At this level, from the very beginning to the present, they have always treated Ning Hao with respect.
After a glass of wine, Ning Hao finally got down to business, and said with a smile: "I invite you two to come out to meet today. In fact, I have already told you about the main purpose on the phone. We are currently preparing a film called "Flying Tigers." The movie "Team", this movie has not yet landed the casting of Chinese actors, we are interested in inviting you to play a role in it."
Liu Ye's heartbeat accelerated suddenly following Ning Hao's words. He put down his wine glass and chopsticks, sat up and looked at Ning Hao, and asked seriously, "Brother Hao, I wonder what role your company wants me to play?"
Ning Hao smiled slightly and said, "We're not in a hurry to decide what role to play, but I can assure you that this character's lines and scenes exceed double digits, so it must be a relatively important role."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ye and Xie Kui looked at each other and were very excited.
In a movie, it’s nothing to have a line with more than two digits. Even if there are twenty lines of lines, one dialogue may be finished in one scene. One line is five or six shots. If the number of shots can be guaranteed while the number of lines is guaranteed, then the exposure of this character will be guaranteed enough.
While Liu Ye was excited, he asked cautiously: "By the way, brother Hao, I don't know if it is a positive role or a negative role?"
Liu Ye didn't want to have a good time, and then let himself play a Japanese soldier in "Flying Tigers", that would be really embarrassing.
Ning Hao's subsequent answer immediately dispelled Liu Ye's worries: "Don't worry, the character is absolutely positive. To be more specific, he is a Chinese member of the Flying Tigers."
As a Chinese member of the Flying Tigers, this role must be a completely positive image. All of Liu Ye's worries were completely dispelled at this moment, and he said excitedly: "Brother Hao, I am willing to play!"
Ning Hao smiled slightly, and said: "According to the requirements of our Muye Image, the main actor of this movie needs to sign a brokerage contract with us first, so if you are interested in taking this role, then you have to terminate the contract with your current company , and then sign a contract with us, this is the premise of cooperation."
Speaking of this, Ning Hao added another sentence, saying: "But don't worry, all the costs you incurred due to your breach of contract will be borne by us, and if it involves legal proceedings, we will also come forward to resolve it."
Liu Ye nodded without hesitation: "No problem! I am willing to sign with Makino Imaging! To be honest, both Makino Imaging and Makino Technology are companies I respect very much!"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "You haven't talked about the details of the contract yet, so you agreed so quickly?"
Liu Ye said seriously: "No matter how the contract is written, I am willing to sign to Muye Impression."
Although what he said was very firm, Liu Ye was also a little apprehensive and worried. He didn't know what kind of contract Makino Impression would give him. What should I do if the money return is too little, but he also has a steelyard in his heart. With a company as big as Makino Technology, Makino's impression will definitely not be as bottomless as those small companies in the industry.
Many small companies in the film and television industry will sign very demanding contracts with their actors, but many actors have no right to speak because they are not famous. They can only sign contracts for the opportunity. Liu Ye's current agency contract is relatively harsh, because it is his Signed before becoming famous, both rights and interests have been greatly suppressed and exploited. However, it is absolutely impossible for a company like Makino Impression to play the same game with these companies.
Seeing that he was so straightforward and resolute, Ning Hao picked up the wine glass and put it aside, saying: "Since everyone agrees with each other, let's talk about business first, and then drink after talking about business."
