Chapter Seven Hundred and Forty-Six Playing Big Cards
Lin Momo sighed and said, "I'm going to shoot a commercial for Lin's Jewelry to enhance the brand's influence. I made an appointment with a big-name star when I was in the magic capital, but it hasn't been filmed yet.
The reason why I delayed coming to the Imperial City for a few days was related to this advertisement. "
Qin Haodong asked, "Why? Is it troublesome to make a commercial? We just need to pay for it."
"It's not troublesome to shoot commercials, but the big star is very troublesome. It was a good thing, but because he changed it again and again, he always said that he was too busy and the schedule was too full, and he obviously didn't take our commercials seriously. ."
Just now I received a call from his agent, saying that he was free at 9 o'clock this evening and made an appointment to shoot this commercial in the movie city.
Qin Haodong frowned. He had long heard that some celebrities played big names. He used to think that he was very far away, but he didn't expect to bump into him today.
"In the evening, it's not safe for you to be alone. I'll go with you."
After he finished speaking, he got into the car with Lin Momo and hurried to the movie city.
With Qin Haodong accompanied, Lin Momo's heart is full of happiness.
Although she is busy with work and has not yet been able to break through the threshold of the holy rank, she is also a ninth-grade master, so there is no safety, the little man just wants to accompany him.
After getting in the car, Qin Haodong said, "Why do we have to use such a big-name star? It's not enough to change someone else. Anyway, it's all money, so who's not looking for?"
Lin Momo said: "Our advertising idea this time is a chivalrous person. After a fight, he grabbed a piece of jewelry from our Lin Group and sent it to his lover.
In order to shoot this commercial well, we need to find a famous star, and Tong Shaowu is just right.
If you change people, the slightly famous actors will all look like bears. They like to play big names, and they will waste more time. It is better to use the current one.
After pushing so many times, I guess nothing will change this time, after all, he also likes to make money. "
Qin Haodong nodded. He also knew about this Tong Shaowu, and he often watched this person's fights when he was in the bedroom.
At that time, he hadn't practiced martial arts, and thought that Tong Shaowu's kung fu was amazing. Now that he has truly become a martial arts expert, he realized that it was just some fancy stuff.
The two talked and chatted, and drove to the movie city.
Although it is already night, the entire movie city is still very lively, and many crews are working overtime here to film.
Qin Haodong was the first time to come to this kind of place. Looking left and right, he really saw many stars that can only be seen on TV on weekdays.
When they arrived at the set they had set up, the studio had been set up. The two walked in and saw that the background, curtains, lights and cameras were all ready.
Among the crowd was a middle-aged man with a peaked cap and a beard who was talking to the two prop masters. He was wearing a green vest full of pockets. Needless to say, he knew that this man was the director.
He thought it was very interesting, all the directors were dressed in one suit, I don't know if this is the norm or what the reason is.
"Oh, Miss Lin, you are here!"
After seeing Lin Momo, the bearded director immediately came over and greeted the two politely.
"Haodong, let me introduce to you, this is Director Xue, this is my boyfriend Qin Haodong, and he is also a major shareholder of our Lin's Jewelry, so he is my boss."
Director Xue's name is Xue Kui. Hearing that Qin Haodong is the boss of the Lin Group, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Mr. Qin, you are really young and promising!"
Qin Haodong greeted politely, and then asked, "Is Tong Shaowu still here?"
"It should be soon, we have too many cars in the imperial capital, it may be a little later."
Xue Daoren was not bad at all. He had no shelves at all. He ordered his assistant to bring some stools and poured a cup of coffee for Qin Haodong and Lin Momo.
Directors may be very talkative. Xue Kui and Qin Haodong sat together chatting and waiting. Time passed quickly, and more than half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Haodong looked at the time, it was already 9:30, half an hour after the agreed time, and Tong Shaowu still didn't move at all.
He couldn't help frowning. After pushing so many schedules, he finally determined the time to play late again. This guy really took himself as a big name.
As the director Xue Kui is still a very shrewd person, he saw Qin Haodong's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly took the script from his assistant and said, "Mr. Qin, this is your first time here. Let me tell you about the script. It's not appropriate to give me an opinion."
Qin Haodong knew that the director was not easy, so he endured it, and another hour passed after the script was finished.
He said, "Director Xue, please call and ask to see when they will come."
"Okay Mr. Qin, I'll call and ask now."
As the big boss of the investor, Xue Kui didn't dare to offend Qin Haodong, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Tong Shaowu's assistant.
After two minutes, he came over again with his mobile phone in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Qin, wait a moment, Boss Tong's assistant said that they are in a traffic jam on the road."
Qin Haodong was speechless for a while. Although the imperial capital is notorious for traffic jams, it was already night. When he and Lin Momo came, there was no traffic jam. Now that nearly two hours have passed, how could there be a traffic jam.
But looking at Xue Kui's embarrassed look, since he had already called, he didn't say anything, thinking that it would be fine to wait a while.
Who would have guessed that more than an hour had passed after this wait, and seeing that it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, after drinking four or five cups of coffee, the other party still did not make any movement.
Now Qin Haodong lost his patience completely. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and said to Xue Kui, "Director Xue, give the other party another call to see what's going on."
Okay, Xue Kui also felt that the wait time was too long, so he took out his mobile phone and called the other party's assistant.
Just after the call was connected, Qin Haodong took the phone from him and said to the phone, "I'm your investor. I'll give you another half an hour. If you don't arrive at the film and television city within half an hour, then Terminate the contract completely."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and put the phone back in front of Xue Kui.
Although Tong Shaowu is a big-name star, he is not used to his problems. If he continues to cancel the contract like this, he will find someone else at most.
Xue Kui didn't expect this gentle-looking little boss to have such a hot temper.
He took the phone back, hesitated and said, "Mr. Qin, let me tell you, Tong Shaowu has recently signed a new film and television company, and the boss has a great background. Don't conflict when he comes."
"Then do you know who the backstage is?"
Anyway, waiting for boredom, Qin Haodong asked gossip.
He was indeed a little curious. He didn't know what kind of backstage could make Tong Shaowu so unscrupulous and ignore the investors.
Xue Kui said: "You can make it difficult for me. I'm just a small director, and I don't know too much inside information. I just heard that the Dongsheng Film and Television company he signed has a strong backstage."
"Oh!"
Qin Haodong nodded casually and didn't take it to heart. Even the seven great families of the imperial capital were trampled under his feet, so why would he care about the backstage.
After the call, it really worked. In less than half an hour, a young man in his thirties walked in from outside, and before he came to Qin Haodong, a strong smell of alcohol filled the entire studio.
This person is Tong Shaowu. At this time, he stumbled while walking, and he would not fall down with the help of his assistant.
"Isn't it just a few minutes late? As for the phone calls, you don't want to mess up, do you?"
Tong Shaowu vented his temper dissatisfied, and the smell of alcohol became stronger when he spoke.
Xue Kui hurriedly said with a smile: "Boss Tong, don't be angry, we finished filming early, didn't we end work early, you can also go back to rest early."
Ordinarily he should have accepted it as soon as he saw it, but Tong Shaowu didn't buy it, he turned to look at Lin Momo: "Little girl, didn't you just put in a few money? What's so great, I'm just a little late, what are you urging? Urge?"
Lin Momo was pushed back several times in succession, and finally got ready to shoot, and this person drank like this again.
She said with a cold face: "Mr. Tong, we should have finished filming according to the contract. You pushed it a few times, and now you have drunk so much wine, can this scene still be filmed?"
Seeing that Lin Momo didn't buy his account, Tong Shaowu immediately became angry and shouted aggressively: "Can you manage it? I have many friends in the imperial capital, what's wrong with drinking a few glasses of wine?"
Seeing that the two sides were arguing more and more fiercely, Xue Kui hurriedly stood up to smooth things out, "Two... two, let's make money with peace, don't quarrel, since Boss Tong is here, let's hurry up and shoot the advertisement!"
He is only a small director, and it is especially difficult to be sandwiched between big-name stars and investors, and he cannot offend either side.
Lin Momo said angrily, "Look at him drinking like this, can he still film?"
At this time, Tong Shaowu was drinking with a red head and a face full of drunkenness, where could he even shoot an advertisement.
Xue Kui said: "If you can shoot, please believe me, no problem, I will let the makeup artist take a good look, it will not affect the shooting effect."
Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Lin Momo snorted coldly and said nothing.
But that Tong Shaowu shouted again: "Hurry up, don't waste Lao Tzu's time, I will only give you half an hour, no matter what the filming is, I will go back to sleep."
"What, how can half an hour be enough? Our contract clearly states three hours!"
The anger that Lin Momo had just suppressed burst out again. Half an hour, I'm afraid there's not enough time to even put makeup on this guy.
"Contract? That thing is written for you, it's for Lao Tzu!" Although Tong Shaowu looked drunk, he was still very arrogant, "I'll tell you, Lao Tzu said that half an hour is half an hour, and an extra cent is nothing. Don't shoot!"
As he spoke, he walked forward staggeringly, as if he had just seen Lin Momo's beautiful face.
"Little girl, I didn't expect you to look so beautiful. If you agree to sleep with me tonight, I'll shoot for three hours..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt that his collar was being grabbed by someone, and then the whole person flew up and fell to the ground with a bang.
Qin Haodong originally wanted to leave it to Lin Momo to deal with it, but this guy is really annoying. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will feel sorry for himself.
Tong Shaowu was smashed to pieces, he struggled to get up from the ground and scolded, "Who, who the hell dares to do something to Lao Tzu?"
Xue Kui was stunned with fright just now. He didn't expect this gentle little boss to do it when he said he would do it, and he was so good at it. Tong Shaowu was born in a fight, and his body was very strong.
But it seemed weightless in Qin Haodong's hand, and he casually threw it on the ground.
"Mr. Qin, calm down, calm down, boss Dong just drank too much, it's not like this normally..."
Qin Haodong sneered and said, "Drink too much? I'll wake him up after drinking too much."
