Chapter 408 The best friend I have ever made in my life is you (please vote for me!)

After 2 days.

The time has come to December.

Sitting in Xiangyang's office, Little John held a delicate paper bag in his hand.

The thick kraft paper is printed with colorful paintings, and the thickened hand rope is fixed with perforations and knots.

Although it is large, it looks like it can hold a lot of things, but in fact it is not.

If it's full, just put some light items in it.

"Why do you stay here with me every day?" Xiangyang walked in from outside after the meeting, followed by Sarah.

"What do you mean every day? I just came here."

Little John glanced at Xiang Yang and showed no intention of getting up from Xiang Yang's desk. He smiled at Sarah and said, "How about "Downton Abbey"? I saw that a British magazine even interviewed you."

"It's going pretty smoothly." Sarah smiled at Little John and walked to the coffee machine in the office.

"No need to do it, I'm going to take him out later." Xiang Yang put the pile of documents he had brought over on the sofa, grabbed the paper bag from Little John's hand, looked at it for a few times, and threw it aside.

Making paper bags for the Siheyuan was quickly approved as soon as it was proposed.

Xiang Yang didn't find this too strange.

Since an American grocery store owner invented the paper shopping bag with a handle in 1912, paper bags have gradually been given various meanings, and are not limited to commodity packaging containers.

Neon Country has the largest number of applications for this batch of paper bags.

Far superior to China.

This is also normal.

Because over there in Neon, collecting paper bags has even become a cultural phenomenon, and a paper bag museum has even been established.

Of course, in addition to displaying the paper bags collected in such museums, their production history and related cultural knowledge will also be introduced.

With the development of the economy, domestic merchants have gradually paid attention to the paper bag design of their own products in later generations.

Collaborating with artists is a common business practice.

Among luxury brands, the one that has had the greatest impact should be Hermès’ old friend LV.

In 2016, we collaborated with industrial designer Marc Newson to launch a new Safran Impérial (royal saffron) color shopping bag.

Now this shopping bag has become one of LV’s brand symbols.

Little John picked up the paper bag from the table again and looked at his friend, with confusion in his eyes, "I'm very busy, and I don't have time to wander around with you to search for inspiration."

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Take you to buy a car."

It was a little hasty, but also a little sudden. It took a few seconds for Little John to react after hearing that he was buying a car for himself. As soon as his face showed a mixture of joy, happiness and excitement, he immediately stopped and said dissatisfied:
  "I'm just here for April Fool's Day, thank you."

"Really, why did I lie to you?"

Xiang Yang frowned slightly, as if to say: "What does this have to do with April Fool's Day?"

"Really?" Little John's voice almost broke.

Xiang Yang nodded. He had already confirmed that Liu Qianqian had prepared all the money. It just so happened that there was nothing to do after today's meeting. If he didn't skip work, he would be sorry for the capitalists.

"Then I'll go get my clothes first, haha." After receiving a positive reply, Little John happily gave up his seat to Xiangyang and said with a smile:
  "The chairs are much more comfortable than the ones in my office."

Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly.

They are all the same chairs, what difference can there be?

On the side, Sarah grinned as she listened to the two people blatantly trading in PY in front of her.

"Then I'll go back to London first. If anything happens, I'll keep in touch with you on the phone." Seeing that she didn't have anything to do here, Sarah said.

"Don't go, I just want to talk to you."

Little John stood up but stopped the other party.

Although Sarah works at Hermès, the projects she is responsible for are all projects of Little John's department.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Little John, Sarah is his subordinate.

How can any subordinate come back from a 'business trip' and not give himself, the 'boss', a reason to go to the dock?

"What's the matter? Little John." Sarah sighed.

"Of course," Little John took out his shriveled wallet from his pocket, took out a 50 euro note and handed it to Sarah with a smile:

“I’ll treat you all to a cup of coffee, and you can buy some for me if you’d like.”

"what?"

Sarah was stunned for a moment after taking the banknotes.

"What, is there a problem?"

"Yes." Sarah nodded, her expression a little stiff.

Little John, who was in a good mood, frowned slightly and said, "Then if you are too busy, I will buy it myself."

"That's not true. I'm afraid the money is not enough."

"."

For a moment, Little John felt that his face was embarrassed and embarrassed.

Just as he lowered his head and took out a 50-euro note from his shriveled wallet, Sarah sneered: "Happy April Fool's Day, Little John."

After speaking with a smile, Sarah waved to Xiang Yang and walked out of the office quickly before Little John could react.

"Damn it! Xiang, did you see it? She actually tricked me."

Little John lost face and complained directly to Xiangyang.

"I saw it, it's quite interesting." Xiang Yang comforted casually, "This shows that you can make jokes in everyone's mind and are not out of touch with the masses."

"That's funny." Little John curled his lips.

If Xiang Yang made this joke to him, he wouldn't say anything.

But Sarah
  "Have you heard? Sarah and Flamel seem to be dating recently." Out of curiosity to share gossip, Little John said to Xiangyang.

"Isn't that normal?"

"Is it normal"

Little John always felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't express it accurately for a while.

Could it be that Xiang Yang already knew this?
  Does he have an informant in the company?

After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Little John looked sideways at Xiang Yang and said, "Didn't you say you would take me to buy a car? Why aren't you still moving?"

"Brother, you told me to go get the clothes first."

Xiang Yang, who had just sat down for a few minutes, silently cursed a lunatic and stood up. If you want to keep up with Little John's chat frequency, you really have to pay attention all the time.

"Speaking of which, how is Director Zhang's matter handled?" Xiang Yang asked as he put on his coat and walked out.

"Mr. Han hasn't replied to me yet."

Little John shook his head and said unhappily.

He came here mainly to communicate with Xiangyang about this matter.

"I plan to go there myself. Your father-in-law told me that I need to visit three times to show my sincerity."

As soon as Little John opened his mouth, Xiang Yang frowned and glanced at his friend.

This guy actually connected with Principal An?

I also visited the thatched cottage three times.
  Do you think you are Uncle Liu Huang?

"Then you can go." When he came to the elevator, Xiang Yang cleared his throat and said:

"Actually, don't lower your stance too low. There are some things that we have no fun rushing through."

"But I have told the people at MK2 and Gaumont, and they are also looking forward to this cooperation."

"Ah, that's it."

Sure enough, there was a reason for Little John to make changes.

Who knows how this guy brags about this cooperation to others after he comes back, but he probably means it to the letter.

When it comes to buying a car, Little John and Liu Qianqian are very familiar with it.

In a short time, Laura picked out her favorite color, silver gray.

Instead of the black that Little John had been clamoring for before.

This shows that he, like Xiang Yang, has no say in this aspect.

"I like black ones, Xiang, why don't we switch."

Looking at Laura who was picking up the car, Little John pouted and couldn't bear to look at the sports car next to him that was the same color as Xiangyang's.

"It would be good to have some open."

Xiang Yang, who had no sense of participation, felt sour in his heart and said comfortingly: "At least you have experienced car buying, right?"

"That's true." Little John laughed.

As expected, happiness must be based on the pain of friends to make you happier.

"Let's go, I guess the new car has nothing to do with you." Xiangyang patted Little John, who was fuming again.

"who said it!"

Pushing Xiang Yang away with disdain, Little John rubbed his hands and walked towards Liu Qianqian with an attentive smile, "Liu, you know, you are the best friend I have made in my life."

Inside the crew in Yichang.

Under the hazy sky, next to the yellow rapeseed fields, the delicate Zhou Dongyu, with two ponytails standing up, walked with Dou Xiao with his head lowered.

Their movements looked unnatural, not as good as the little girl walking in front of them who also had a playful ponytail.

Back to the lake where I just took the photo.

"Director Zhang has been upset recently. It's okay to be harsh. This is for your own good."

"Ok, I know."

Returning the white rabbit toffee in his hand to Dou Xiao, Zhou Dongyu nodded.

From the day she turned on the phone, she had been criticized by Zhang Mouzi.

Even though she was new to the world, she could tell that Zhang Mouzi was obviously more irritable than the previous few days on the set.

I would give myself guidance before, but today I scolded myself directly in front of other actors.

Behind the monitor in the distance, a depressed Zhang Mouzi was holding a cigarette in his hand. After taking two puffs, he thought to himself that he had nothing to do with his children, so he picked up the walkie-talkie from next to the director's chair:

"Every department is ready, let's do it again!"

Among the more than 500 people on the crew, no one dared to touch Zhang Mouzi's bad luck now, so they quickly took action.

"Dong Yu, please behave well this time. You have to have the youthful feeling of a girl, understand?"

Zhou Dongyu, who was wearing a blue liberation outfit, nodded quickly when he heard this.
  Just after crossing one, the hazy sky suddenly dropped and a drizzle fell.

"This damn weather." Seeing the raindrops hitting the camera, Zhang Mouzi, who was about to take a set of shots, cursed and yelled at the filming crew.

Even God is against me?
  "Teacher Zhang, with the weather like this now, there will be this kind of drizzle. Just wait until this cloud blows away." Pang Li on the side tried to persuade her.

"I know." Frowning, Zhang Mouzi said helplessly: "You ask Zhou Dongyu and Dou Xiao to come over, and I will tell them about the next scene."

"Why don't you take a break?"

"No, go quickly, I can handle it."

Zhang Mouzi waved his hand.

He wanted to catch up on the progress as soon as possible and shorten the shooting cycle.

Firstly, it can save the waste of money, and secondly, by completing the filming of the film early, he can focus on his own affairs.

He had read the contract from CC Standard, and Pang Li also translated it for him from the contract sent by Hermès Film Investment Company.

All added up, except for the CC standard symbolic remuneration of 2 US dollars.

It is not disrespectful that Hermès Film Investment Company paid for its labor service in France.

In addition to the labor fee of 8 euros for the entire retrospective exhibition, hotels, cars, round-trip air tickets, and a series of other details were all reflected in the contract.

Is this much money?

Zhang Mouzi thought it was quite a lot.

He doesn't get much money from New Picture, and besides, the retrospective exhibition is to make him famous.

There is no choice in terms of CC standards. Even his assistant Pang Li and the crew members invited to co-produce are all paid.

It's not much money, but the point of this matter is not about the money.

However, the money and profits satisfied Zhang Mouzi and the others, but not Zhang Weiping.

$10 million?
  In his words, what is the difference between this and sending away a beggar?
  Thinking of minimizing the big deal, Zhang Mouzi had no choice but to force the actors and crew to complete the filming of the movie as soon as possible to reduce expenses.

"Hawthorn Tree Love" has 4 joint investors, with a total of 7000 million.

If Zhang Weiping can save some money, even if the box office does not reach 2 million in the end, he will not lose money.

Zhang Mouzi felt that this should at least satisfy Zhang Weiping's appetite.
