Actor: Thank you.
Chapter 708 Embarrassment
A restaurant that Huayi often goes to.
Zhang Yuan walked towards the familiar box.
He has been to this place many times, and Xiao Wang always invites guests here.
"Locate a place that you are familiar with." Zhang Yuan stopped at the door of the private room and rubbed his face hard.
This relaxes the facial muscles.
Many times, when he was tired on the set or needed to express strong emotions, he would warm up his facial muscles first.
"Talk about things in a place you are familiar with."
"It's either pretending or being guilty."
"Or maybe both." Zhang Yuan understood, then put on a smile, pushed the door open, and walked in with big strides.
"Mr. Wang, it's been a while!" He walked up to Xiao Wang and shook hands with him enthusiastically.
Xiao Wang was more enthusiastic and hugged him tightly after letting go.
Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that this excessive enthusiasm was obviously harboring evil intentions.
"Sit down, sit down." Wang Zhonglei smiled and gestured to him.
Zhang Yuan was about to sit down next to him.
But Xiao Wang spoke at this time.
"These seats are occupied. Please sit there."
"We just happen to be facing each other, so it's convenient for us to talk."
Deliberately move him a little further away from himself.
Zhang Yuan felt strange and glanced at the people in the private room again.
In addition to Xiao Wang and his usual assistant, there were two burly men with bulging chests standing behind him today, who were obviously martial artists.
Wearing a black suit, one can tell that he is a professional such as a bodyguard.
“Hehehe…” Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart.
He understood.
If you just move him further away from you, there will be many possibilities.
But there are two bodyguards behind him, so the meaning is very clear.
Xiao Wang knew that Zhang Yuan practiced martial arts and his level was quite high.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to satisfy the foreigners.
Therefore, he was afraid that today's conversation would cause him to explode and hurt someone, so he was prepared.
"Oh, so his psychological assumptions, my behavior and reactions, should be biased towards martial arts."
Zhang Yuan understood today's "performance style".
Now I am the actor and Xiao Wang is the audience.
As an actor, my job is to meet the audience's psychological expectations.
"Come, our international superstar orders the dishes." Xiao Wang praised, but there was a hint of joking in his tone.
"Then I won't be polite."
Zhang Yuan deliberately acted in a nonchalant manner.
Because according to the setting, Xiao Wang didn't know that he knew his subordinates were going to rebel, and Zhang Yuan knew that he didn't know that he knew...
In short, in the last confrontation between the two sides, Zhang Yuan got the upper hand in terms of film pay.
So he deliberately put on a smug look.
When ordering food, always choose the expensive ones, either seafood or game.
"Do you have three-foot-long lobsters?" Zhang Yuan asked the waiter.
"I'm sorry sir, not that big."
"You can have this."
"This really doesn't exist."
"What a crappy shop..." Zhang Yuan threw the menu and said, "That's it."
Xiao Wang's mouth twitched. Three feet must be one meter long. Is it still a lobster?
Actually, there are. There is a species called Splendid lobster, which can grow to more than one meter.
It is just a second-level protected animal, and it is illegal for ordinary people to eat it.
Wang Zhonglei cursed in his heart, look at how arrogant you are.
You will cry soon!
When the dishes were almost served, Xiao Wang toasted with him and drank a few glasses of white wine first.
"Mr. Wang, what's the matter that you want me to come here today?" Zhang Yuan asked very proactively.
"Could it be that Huayi has some new film that I can help with?"
Xiao Wang thought to himself, you wish!
Still trying to rip me off.
"No." His smile gradually became distorted as he thought about what was going to happen next.
"Hahaha, I came to see you today."
"I want to discuss an important matter."
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Zhang Yuan sat there curiously.
Given his current condition, he can probably win the Golden Horse Award.
"Well, we have guests."
"You'll understand when the guests come." Xiao Wang grinned wickedly and called his assistant.
Not long after the assistant left, he brought another person back and went into the box together.
"Hey, why are you here?"
"Aren't you at home preparing the script for your new film?"
The person who came was, of course, Yao Cheng.
Zhang Yuan felt relieved when he saw that it was him.
This means that everything is within your expectations.
"Hmm..." Yao Dazui nodded his head slightly.
Without communicating much with Zhang Yuan, he sat down next to Xiao Wang with a nervous look on his face.
"You..." Zhang Yuan still had to react to her seating position and gave her a puzzled look.
"Boss Wang, please get Yao Cheng here...Oh, I understand."
"You have a new film that you want her to star in, so you want to talk to me about cooperation."
“Hehehe…” Little Wang was as happy as an idiot, with a look of great pleasure on his face.
"No, you got it wrong."
“I want to work with her.”
"But not with you."
"But she is mine."
"It won't be like that soon!" Xiao Wang finally showed his fangs.
"What... does this mean?" Zhang Yuan looked confused.
His eyes glanced back and forth between Yao Cheng and Xiao Wang.
Yao Dazui didn't dare to meet his eyes and just stared at the wine glass.
"You also know that people go to high places and water flows to low places."
“Actors all want a better platform.”
"I have talked to Yao Cheng, and she is willing to come to our Huayi."
At this moment, Wang Zhonglei's mouth corners were almost stretched behind his ears.
"Come to Huayi?"
"What's going on, Yao Cheng, explain it clearly!"
"She doesn't have to say it, I'll say it for her." Xiao Wang took over the conversation.
"I think Yao Cheng is an actress with great potential for development."
“We can only get the best development in Huayi.”
"But Yao Cheng and I have a contract." Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "It's still a year and a half before it expires."
"So what I came to discuss with you today is to let her terminate the contract early." Xiao Wang was extremely proud, and the end of each word seemed to be rising.
"This way she can become a member of our Huayi."
Zhang Yuan's face gradually turned colder, just like the bubbles disappearing and the liquid level slowly dropping in a boiling soup pot after the fire is turned off. He grasped it very well.
There is hope of winning the Golden Statue.
"Mr. Wang, although we have known each other for a long time, we are still friends."
“But I feel like I can’t do this.”
"Yao Cheng is my artist and has signed a contract."
"We want to let her go early and let her join your company."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes fiercely and stared at Yao Cheng.
Yao Dazui’s head became more and more depressed.
"Oh, I knew you would say that."
"So, I won't let you give someone up for nothing."
"As long as you are willing to terminate the contract with her in advance, I will..."
As the other party said this, Zhang Yuan spoke in his heart together with Xiao Wang.
"I will give you the remaining investment in Soldier Assault."
Haha... Zhang Yuan thought to himself, I know you two brothers too well.
Exactly!
Zhang Yuan thought about it after receiving the inside information from Fan Bingbing.
Huayi must ask herself to terminate the contract in advance.
What means will the other party use?
In fact, it is very simple. The only thing that binds him and Huayi now is the investment and "The Forbidden Kingdom". "The Forbidden Kingdom" is led by a foreign crew, and the two Wang brothers have to consider the benefits and impact, so the probability of making trouble is small.
The first batch of investment funds has been settled, and there is still more than 1500 million yuan going through the process at Huayi.
Zhang Yuan guessed immediately that they would use this trick.
Not just because of money.
Also because he used "The Forbidden Kingdom" to force them to pay him.
These two brothers are so petty, they will only feel happy if they get back at each other for the same thing.
"This is my money!" Zhang Yuan raised his voice and shouted angrily.
"And you've already promised to pay the bill."
"Yes, it will be settled. Haven't I already given you some money?"
“For the rest, we have to follow the process.”
"As you know, Huayi is a large company with complicated procedures and slow speed."
"As for when the money will be paid later, that depends on how the discussion goes today."
1500 million and Yao Cheng, let Zhang Yuan choose for himself.
This is the trick the two Wang brothers came up with.
Not only can we capture the person, but we can also suppress this kid's arrogance.
It’s a good plan.
"You're not keeping your word!" Zhang Yuan stood up suddenly.
He raised his hand and slammed the wine glass to the ground.
Click!
A loud bang!
Yao Cheng and Xiao Wang both trembled all over.
The two bodyguards in the room reacted quickly, moved forward and stood in front of the boss.
Of course, only the boss was blocked.
Yao Cheng: …
"A man must keep his word." Veins bulged on Zhang Yuan's forehead, but after looking at the two bodyguards, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Xiao Wang saw that his temples were throbbing.
I felt so happy.
I'll make you die of anger, you ignorant boy.
After regaining his previous position, Wang Zhonglei straightened his suit and spoke with a smile.
"We have always been trustworthy."
Yes, not keeping one's word is, to some extent, also a kind of keeping one's word.
"Think about this yourself."
"Once you've thought it through, we'll continue our conversation."
Xiao Wang felt that he was the banker and was very confident.
"I..." Zhang Yuan clenched his fists and then waved his arms.
"I have no appetite, bye!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Take the elevator directly downstairs.
Even after leaving the private room, he did not relax his expression, but maintained his state and did not act out of character.
After arriving at the underground garage, he went straight to his business car.
But as he walked, he moved his ears and found someone following him.
"Huh, Xiao Wang is quite cautious."
"They were afraid that I would do something crazy, so they deliberately asked someone to watch me."
With his hearing ability, he could hear it clearly.
Send the Buddha to the west and perform the play to the end.
He got in the car and slammed the door shut.
"what!"
Then, a roar penetrated the car door and was clearly heard by the "tail".
The sound insulation of Japanese cars is average, but it is fine now.
"Wow!" The person who was following was startled and shouted loudly.
But it's not over yet.
He then heard another crisp "bang" sound.
Suddenly, I didn't know what happened.
He only noticed it after Zhang Yuan's car started and passed by him not far away.
The window glass on the car's sliding door has become a spider web!
Zhang Yuan's shout and punch just now were full of true emotion and anger.
It perfectly shows the unwillingness of the little people.
Enough to win the Golden Rooster.
The next day, in Huayi's office on the top floor.
"Hahahahaha..."
Two loud laughs that belonged only to villains rang out again.
The two brothers of the Wang family were so happy that it seemed like New Year’s Day.
"Brother, you didn't see it."
"Yesterday, when this kid heard that Yao Cheng had already made an agreement with us, his eyes almost popped out of his head in fear."
"And then he got mad at me. Oh, I was so happy."
"I've got someone watching."
"Yesterday he returned to his car and was so angry that he smashed all the windows."
"My people saw him go to the hospital for treatment today, and he came out with his hands wrapped."
"This is called impotent rage!"
"Hahaha, good, what a helpless rage!" The king pushed his glasses with a smile.
"Zhang Yuan is still young after all."
"This was a huge blow to him."
“It’s normal to lose control.”
The king forgot that when Sister Hua left, he was so angry that he pounded the wall.
For this reason, Xiao Wang expected Zhang Yuan to go crazy and lose control.
Use yourself to push others.
"Okay, now all we have to do is wait for him to come and beg for mercy." Wang Zhongjun hummed a Peking Opera tune proudly.
On the other side, in the courtyard.
"Hey, does it hurt?"
The good sister touched his right fist wrapped in gauze and looked at him with heartache.
"Uncle Long misled me!" Zhang Yuan complained.
"In his movies, he can smash a window glass into pieces with just one elbow."
"It made me think real cars were like this!"
"But it's okay, I have hard bones and it's just a superficial wound." He said with a grin, wanting Cheng Hao not to worry so much.
"You knew about this in advance, why are you still so angry?"
"Even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to care about the car."
"Replacing a piece of glass costs thousands."
Zhang Yuan: …
"Hehehe." Cheng Hao said and then chuckled.
Knowing that she was teasing him, Zhang Yuan hugged her and whispered.
"Like many other dandy boys, the Wang brothers have a fatal flaw."
"That's arrogance."
"I won't act it out for them. I've acted it out perfectly."
"They'll definitely be suspicious."
"On the contrary, the more exaggerated my performance is, the happier they are, and the more they believe it."
"But what is your reason for doing this?" Cheng Hao was puzzled.
"Aren't they still threatening you with that money?"
"Nothing has changed?"
"No, I'm not acting to change the money and Yao Cheng's situation."
"In these two matters, I was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and there was no room for recovery."
"So I act to show weakness and to appear embarrassed."
"The more embarrassed I am, the less they will suspect that I have already made plans."
"The purpose of my doing this is actually to dispel their suspicions."
"The two brothers must be happily waiting for me to come over and beg for mercy."
"Then you can easily get what you want from me."
"At the same time, teach this disobedient little brother of mine a lesson."
"What they don't know is." Zhang Yuan touched his injured fist.
"They actually have something I want!" (End of this chapter)
