Xu Jie stared at his phone for a long time, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Hu Zhen not calling.

The second male lead, get it done!

Now Liu Qing is the only one left.

If Liu Qing's pay can be controlled at 5 million, then the candidate for the male lead can be completely reconsidered. Even if the first-line male star cannot be invited, it should not be a big problem to invite a second-line star. It is better than a person who has no acting experience and box office appeal to play the male lead.

Xu Jie was about to call Liu Qing, but suddenly he found that he did not have Liu Qing's phone number, only Liu Qing's agent Yuan Ou's phone number.

However, when he thought of the first episode of "Film and Television Talk" that "scam" Yuan Ou for publicity expenses, he felt a little relieved and had not called the other party's number for a long time.

Xu Jiesi thought about it over and over again, thinking that the person who tied the bell must be untied.

Whoever invites Liu Qing will be convinced.

Wife, please!

Xu Jie directly called Su Yun’s mobile phone number.

After all, Liu Qing is not only his wife's friend and his wife's little fan. His wife discusses the salary. I think that girl Liu Qing is not embarrassed to ask for too much price.

"Husband, do you miss me?"

Su Yun's gentle and sweet voice came from the microphone, which made Xu Jie's ears sniffle and his whole body numb.

"I miss you, and I want you to do a favor." Xu Jie said after hearing this.

"Oh? Why are you busy?" Su Yun asked curiously. If she remembered correctly, it seemed that this was the first time a man took the initiative to ask her for help.

What exactly is it? It can leave men helpless?

"That's right. Today I had a meeting with my colleagues to discuss the candidates for the movie role. Now, except for the male lead, the other roles have been decided. You also know that my movie is not well-off in terms of funding, and I don't want to spend too much money on the pay, so I want to ask you to ask Liu Qing's pay, and then negotiate the price, and then decide who to invite as the male lead based on the remaining funding."

Xu Jie simply told the matter.

"I understand, husband, don't worry, this matter is for me. I wonder how much money you are going to pay Qingqing?" Su Yun asked.

She has always wanted to share her worries for men, and this opportunity has finally come.

"My ideal salary is five million, and the maximum cannot exceed ten million." Xu Jie said after thinking about it.

Su Yun was stunned after hearing this. The offer was really a bit low.

"I remember Qingqing's previous movie pay was 18 million. She is one of the very few young actresses in the film industry who have a certain box office appeal. Five million is not realistic, but if it is 10 million, there may be room for negotiation." Su Yun said.

"Her pay is so high? It's higher than you?" Xu Jie was a little surprised. Didn't Wang Wen say that actresses generally have low pay in the film industry, and not many of them have more than 10 million yuan?

"Qingqing is a movie star and has always focused on movies, so she is more recognized in the film market. Even if many female stars who have topics and traffic than her, the pay for movies may not be as high as hers. I wonder if you have noticed one thing that many actresses become popular as soon as they appear in TV series, but they fail as soon as they appear in movies. This means they are not recognized by the film market and have no box office appeal." Su Yun explained.

oh!

Xu Jie understood, so that's what happened.

It seems that he was too optimistic.

"Honey, Qingqing has been in the capital for a while, and I don't think so. Let's invite her to your house tonight, chat while having a meal, and have a few more glasses of wine at that time. What do you think?" Su Yun asked.

She also felt that under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible to reduce Liu Qing's salary by 10 million. Even the friendship price could not be reduced so much unless she was not clear-headed.

The best way to make your mind restless is to drink.

This is an important reason why many businessmen like to talk about business at the wine table.

"Well, this is a good method. By the way, it's better to call her agent Yuan Ou, so that she won't regret it after sobering up." Xu Jie's eyes lit up, as if he had seen Liu Qing insisting on acting in this drama after drinking too much regardless of the agent's dissuasion.

As an agent, Yuan Ou definitely does not want the artist to reduce his pay, and he will definitely try his best to stop Liu Qing from agreeing.

But everyone needs face, especially a stubborn donkey like Liu Qing. Her good sister wants her to reduce her salary, but her agent refuses. Can Liu Qing have face? Maybe she is so excited by the agent and her rebellious heart arises. With the effect of alcohol, she didn't want to agree and would agree in the end.

"I'll contact Qingqing now." Su Yun said.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Xu Jie put down the phone.

Not long after.

The WeChat ringtone rang.

It was a message sent by Su Yun.

There are only two letters: OK!

Xu Jie smiled.

Start thinking about what wine to drink at night.

Or do you want to bottle Erguotou?

evening.

Xu Jie comes home from get off work.

The moment he took out the key and opened the door, he immediately heard bursts of laughter, which was very pleasant.

"Wife, I'm back." Xu Jie said deliberately loudly, avoiding his wife and Liu Qing playing a large-scale game between her best friend.

Soon, Su Yun came over from the kitchen.

"husband!"

Su Yun said loudly while winking: "Qingqing and Sister Ou are here."

Xu Jie nodded, then took off his coat and walked towards the kitchen.

Liu Qing was eating a cucumber in his hand, and chewing the cherry mouth was like a rabbit. When he saw Xu Jie, he didn't react at all, as if he didn't see it.

However, Yuan Ou, the agent sitting in the restaurant, stood up and said politely: "Teacher Xu, I'm sorry, I'll bother you tonight."

Although the man in front of her had left Beijing TV station, she did not dare to underestimate her.

You should know that the other party is fighting against four entertainment companies with one against one, and so far, three have retreated, and the situation of the other is also very unoptimistic.

"Don't be so polite, we are not outsiders." Xu Jie signaled to the other party to sit down, then looked at Liu Qing with a smile and said, "Stop eating cucumbers, wait and eat more foods made by your sister Yun."

"I'm happy." Liu Qing rolled his eyes and took a bite of the cucumber afterwards.

Stubbornness is coming up again.

Xu Jie smiled. If it were normal, he would definitely fight back, but tonight, for the sake of money, give this girl a face.

Not long after, supper was ready.

Four people sat around the dining table, having fun.

Liu Qing took out his cell phone and took a photo of the food on the table. While taking pictures, he still flattered.

"These dishes look delicious. Sister Yun, you are really amazing. You deserve to be my idol."

Liu Qing opened his eyes wide and his face full of admiration, interpreting the true nature of the little fan to the extreme.

"It's just a simple and commonplace meal." Su Yun picked up the glass of wine poured with red wine and said with a smile: "Welcome Qingqing and Sister Ou to visit, cheers."

"Cheers!" Liu Qing raised his wine glass and responded positively.

"when!"

Four people clinked their glasses.

One third of the glass of red wine was drunk.

"Come on, eat the food." Su Yun picked up the chopsticks and enthusiastically picked up the food for Liu Qing.

Liu Qing took a bite and immediately stretched out his thumb and praised: "Well, it's delicious. I'll have at least two bowls of rice tonight. Sister Ou, don't stop me."

Body figure is very important for female artists. Many female artists usually don’t even dare to eat staple food, just hoping to wear beautiful skirts and be more photogenic.

And now, Liu Qing was actually clamoring to have two bowls of rice, which shows how happy she was tonight.

Xu Jie laughed in his heart, hoping that when he asked for a pay, the other party would be so generous.

Eat, eat more, eat short-mouthed people.

Yuan Ou, who was standing beside him, felt embarrassed to care, so he could only nod and say ok.

Liu Qing ate for a while, probably because she had too much stuff in her mouth and was a little choked. When she picked up the glass and prepared to drink something, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Yun and said, "Sister Yun, thank you for your entertainment. I am so happy and happy to be able to eat the food you cook. I will give you a glass."

When Su Yun heard this, she picked up the wine glass and said, "Qingqing, are you still seeing me? I want to come here often in the future. In fact, my skills are average, and my husband's skills are great. I will let him make them for you next time."

She knew that Liu Qing was biased against Xu Jie, so she wanted to use this sentence to ease the relationship between the other party and her husband and lay the foundation for the pay she was about to mention.

Liu Qing shook his head very firmly and said seriously: "Sister Yun, this has nothing to do with craftsmanship. In my opinion, you make all the delicious foods, and no matter how good other people's craftsmanship is, they are not as good as those."

After saying that, he clinked glasses with Su Yun, raised his head and drank it all.

Xu Jie looked at Liu Qing's appearance and two words appeared in his heart: Licking the dog!

He even had some doubts about Liu Qing's sexual orientation. Will this woman like women?

"Just like it." Su Yun also drank it and said, "We will have to work together in movies next year, so there are many opportunities to have dinner together."

"Talk about the cooperative movies..." Yuan Ou looked at Xu Jie and asked, "Teacher Xu, is the script ready? When will the movie start filming?"

"The script has been written a long time ago, and it is expected that filming will start in the first half of next year. I will give you a copy of the script when I look back." Xu Jie said after hearing this.
