88

For Chen Canaan's sudden solicitude, a large family of the Chen family was originally quite happy, and they have sighed that the family has a big son growing up. But that night, the pile of magazines he sent to Howie was discovered by Auntie Chen, and Howie betrayed him on the spot. Chen's father, furious, retrieved the chicken feather duster that had been thrown into the garbage can, and teamed up with Chen's uncle and Auntie Chen to carry out a mixed triple whammy of the two children who were taller than all of them.

Seeing that the situation is not right, the bastard quickly fled to the next door Joe's house, leaving Howie alone to receive stick education. Thus, the father's kindness and filial piety, brother's friendship and brother's respect are considered to have ended for the time being.

Jiang Feng is very fast, because Ming Zai aunt and uncle can't wait for someone to lead the family this drag, thus the next day Jiang Feng personally led the people to Anan martial arts hall.

Followed by Chen Canaan's dozen brothers, most of the poor family, several often live in the martial arts school, Ming Zai a small child came to the martial arts school, not afraid of no one to take care of.

The little guy is really poor, all he has is a small bag with a few old clothes that no longer fit.

Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan were having a free time, so they took their children to buy new clothes.

In view of the Mingzai that pro uncle does not do personnel, the two also do not care "the first month does not shave the head shaving dead uncle" this custom, by the way to take people to the barber store, will be fast to grow to the ear of a head of dry yellow miscellaneous hair, to cut into a refreshingly sharp small plate inch. Although it is still a boy and girl look, but wearing a boy's small suit of Ming Zai, also like a handsome young man.

Ming Chai's first name is Li Yiming, although I don't know if he will be as famous as his own mother expects, but with his exquisite features and looks, as long as he doesn't grow up to be handicapped in the future, and he works hard, he will definitely be more than enough to be a star.

When they finished buying new clothes, the two took Naru-chan to the bookstore that Chen Canaan hated the most.

The child has reached the age of eight, but only half a year of school, Qiao Wen originally thought that he did not know a few words, but also thought to buy comic strips to cultivate an interest in reading, but I know that Ming Zai himself picked the vernacular version of the Water Margin and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Jovian was taken aback, "Naru-chan, can you read?"

Chen Canaan concurred, "Right, although I let you study well, but the matter of study can be taken slowly, these books I read are strenuous, you a little cub don't make things difficult for yourself."

Ming Tsai said, "I go to the newspaper stall every day to recognize a dozen or so words from Uncle, so I can already read the newspaper, and I've even read Bravehearts. I've always wanted to read these two books before, but Uncle wouldn't buy them for me."

Qiao Wen laughed, "Okay, as long as you're willing to read, Nan and I will buy you as many books as you want."

Naru-chan said a little shyly, "Thank you Brother Man and Brother Nan."

Qiao Wen looked up with a smile on his face and looked at Chen Canaan who was dumbfounded and holding a comic book in his hand, "Nan, Ming Zai only went to school for one year and he can read these large books, you at least finished Form 2, so you don't need to read the comic books, you can read more books with Ming Zai in the future."

Chen Canaan indignantly glared at the little cub who was holding the book and begging for knowledge, and reluctantly stuffed the comic book back into the bookshelf.

The two of them passed the free days of the first month in bringing up the children.

The deadline given by Lin Jia Li arrived in the blink of an eye, and although Qiao Wen didn't put it on his mind, he didn't forget it either, and called in advance to make an appointment, and once again went with Sun Dayu piece to meet this difficult up-and-coming jade girl.

Lin Jia Li is still the same big row as before, chauffeur bodyguard maid plus her own mother, just sat down, then squinted his eyes and said, "Has the new script been changed?"

She was the look of an innocent jade girl, and Qiao Wen wanted to tell the other party that such an arrogant and perverse expression just didn't suit her.

Of course, it was just a thought, he had always been tolerant of women, especially such a young and exuberant girl, there was really no need to be general with her, so he remained in a smiling manner, "Ms. Lin, there's really no way to change the script on our side."

Lin Jia Li's face sank and she said unhappily, "Since you can't change it what are you asking me out to talk about? Playing with me?"

Qiao Wen said, "Don't be angry first, Ms. Lin, we are very sincere, the script can't be changed, but we can renegotiate the pay."

Lin Jia Li was still about to get angry when her mother beside her hurriedly said, "Jia Li, I see that Boss Qiao and the others do have sincerity, so let's take our time to talk again."

Lin Jia Li nodded, "This is your company's first play, and the director's previous plays haven't properly been in the theater, so I don't know how this one will be when it's made. It's kind of a gamble for me."

Qiao Wen nodded his head rather thoughtfully, "We are indeed crossing the river by touching the stones, if Ms. Lin is willing to cooperate with us, we would be very grateful."

Lin Jia Li said, "Alright, I'm not going to talk about box office splits, since the script can't be changed, then the paycheck will be a mouthful of three hundred thousand dollars."

As a person who had experienced the era of sky-high movie fees, Qiao Wen was quite calm about her big offer, but Sun Dayu on the side exclaimed, "Ms. Lin, three hundred thousand dollars is enough to hire the most popular actresses like Su Zhizhi. Your asking price is too much?"

Lin Jiali: "I don't think you're unknown, but you think I'm not famous? I'm telling you, with your current team, it's a privilege for me to act. If you have the ability, you can invite Su Zhizhi ah?"

Sun Dayu is actually Lin Jia Li half a fan, home collection of her several posters, but at this moment can not help but secretly cursed a dirty word, thought if you can invite Su Zhizhi, but also see you in the big star frame.

Three hundred thousand dollars was indeed considered a huge paycheck in this day and age, and only a few top movie stars could get this figure. For an actress of Lin Jia Li's caliber, one hundred thousand dollars was already the ceiling. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the three hundred thousand, it was just that Lin Jia Li really wasn't worth the price.

Lin's mother probably also felt that her daughter had gone a bit too far, and snapped, "Boss Qiao, Director Sun, this movie of yours, we're still very interested in it, and we can renegotiate the pay."

"Talk about what? It's either three hundred thousand dollars, change the script, or we all stop wasting time."

Qiao Wen could see that the other party actually still wanted to take this movie, but just because they were a new team, they came down on them at the beginning.

He was pondering how to put this unruly and capricious jade girl in her place when the door of the compartment was suddenly knocked on. Thinking that it was the waiter delivering tea, he casually responded, "Come in!"

The door was opened, but it wasn't the waiter, but a warm and pretty beauty. The beauty stood in the doorway and smiled at the person inside, softly saying, "Just now I seem to have heard a familiar voice, it really is Boss Qiao here."

This woman was no other than the big star Su Zhizhi, who had just been casually cited by several people.

Not to mention other people, even Qiao Wen, who had met her once, was also slightly stunned, because that time, this big star was completely a vase beside Zhou Chaozheng, and had never said a few words, yet she was mentioning herself right now, as if she was very familiar with him.

Qiao Wen stood up and greeted politely, "Ms. Su, long time no see."

Su Zhizhi stood at the foyer, swept her eyes over the people in the house, and said tentatively, "Is it not too convenient for me to come in?"

Qiaowen reached out and gestured, "Conveniently enough, Ms. Su, please take a seat."

Showbiz is the most seniority ranking place, although Su Zhizhi is only in her early twenties, than Lin Jia Li older than a few years, but from the beauty pageant debut to now, has been in the industry for seven or eight years, acted in more than forty films, several are the box office champion of the year, is one of the most red female stars today.

When Lin Jia Li saw the person she was talking about suddenly appear, although it was as hard as eating a fly, she still respectfully took the initiative to greet the person, "Sister Su, how are you!"

Su Zhizhi looked at her with a smile and seemed to think for a while before remembering, slapping her forehead and saying, "Oh, you're Ms. Lin, aren't you? I haven't filmed for a year, and I've been living in deep seclusion, so many people don't recognize me."

Her tone was polite and gentle, but she obviously didn't care about this rising starlet, and when she finished, she sat down and smiled as she spoke with Qiao Wen, "Boss Qiao, I've heard that you're preparing to film 'Brave World'?"

Jovian nodded, "That's right, but it's the first time I've done a movie, so I'm still taking my time preparing."

Su Zhizhi said with a smile on her face, "I love this novel so much that I didn't shoot for a year last year and waited daily for the newspaper to come out to catch up on the serialization. You guys are very discerning." She said and then changed her words, "I wonder if you have selected any actors?"

Qiao Wen truthfully said, "The male lead has already selected Li Xingchen, the female lead is still undecided for now."

Su Zhizhi smiled, "That's great! Can Boss Qiao consider me? Originally, I wanted to come to my door in a few days to make a gross recommendation, but I just happened to come across it today, so why don't I just say it directly, so that I don't get the short end of the stick."

Everyone in the room, including Jovian, was taken aback.

The fact that Big Star Su volunteered to act in their first movie was enough to drop everyone's jaws.

Compared to Sun Dayu who was overwhelmed by excitement, Qiao Wen was still quite sober, he was stunned for a moment, quickly regained his senses and smiled: ''If Miss Su can join us in this drama, it would be a great honor. It's just that this movie is a male drama, the female lead doesn't have much of a role, it's a role like a green leaf, and we don't intend to add drama for the female lead. Miss Su has always acted in female-centered plays, doesn't this role feel condescending to you?"

Su Zhizhi laughed: "To be honest, I want to act in this play, one because I like the story, and the other is that I intend to transition to kung fu movies, although the female lead of this play does not have a martial arts scene, but as my transition to test the waters of the first play, I feel that it is more than appropriate."

Qiao Wen did not move to look at the side of this beautiful big star, because today almost no powder, look and no big star grace and luxury, but like a clear neighborhood girl, giving a person a sense of freshness like the spring breeze. He has seen a few of her plays, her acting skills are beyond doubt, almost any kind of role can be mastered, "Brave World" this kind of drama is not too heavy female lead, for her should be easy to use. And with her fame, and after a year of hiatus after the transformation of the work, the box office basically do not have to worry too much.

It had to be said that Qiao Wen was very slightly moved, he pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "But with Ms. Su's worth, we may not be able to afford the pay."

Su Zhizhi smiled and waved her hand, "There is no need to worry about the pay, since the part is not too much, I definitely won't ask you for the price with the previous leading lady's pay. If it's inconvenient for you guys, you can totally wait until the movie is released before paying."

Before Qiao Wen could speak, Sun Dayu was already ecstatic, "Really? Ah Wen, then let's use Ms. Su?"

Lin Jia Li, who had been hung out to dry for a while, didn't expect Su Zhi Zhi to come to cut her off, and not caring that the other party was a bigger name than she was, she immediately said angrily, "Boss Qiao, Director Sun, what do you mean by this? We just had a deal."

Qiao Wen actually subconsciously felt that it might not be that simple for Su Zhi Zhi to come forward to join, but as long as it was good for the movie and it didn't matter if she had any other reasons, it was always enough that she was a good actress, suitable for the role, and could help carry the box office.

So he turned and smiled back to Lin Jia Li: "Ms. Lin, I think we just didn't have a good talk, right? I'm now formally replying to the request you made earlier - the script will not be changed, and the paycheck will not be increased. With Pearl, we certainly won't ask for Fish Eye again, but this tea is still on us."

You don't have to keep spoiling at a young age.

Lin Jia Li was squeezed to a green face, especially looking at Su Zhi Zhi smiling face to look at her, and not how to splash attack, only got up and said in a conspiratorial manner, "You think I care about you guys this crappy roles, making a movie can't be as easy as you guys think, I'm waiting to see you guys pouncing on the street. Sister Su, you are looking for a partner, or you have to polish your eyes, lest you smash the signboard."

Su Zhizhi nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Ms. Lin, for reminding me."

Carrie Lin whisked away with her mother and chauffeur bodyguard maid, leaving only the three people in the house.

Su Zhizhi said, "Boss Qiao just called me a pearl, I really don't dare to take it."

Qiao Wen also laughed, "Ms. Su is more than just a pearl, it's not too much to say it's a rare diamond."

Su Zhizhi let out a giggle, almost shaking with flowers, "Boss Qiao is really good at coaxing people, I'm just afraid he's coaxed a lot of girls!"

Qiao Wen smiled, "Miss Su's willingness to join our first movie is too valuable to us, and my compliments are sincere."

Su Zhizhi smiled and shook her head, and the few people ate tea and chilled for a short while longer before getting up to say goodbye.

Sun Dayu was like a dream, when he walked out of the teahouse, his feet almost punched the ticket, grabbing Qiao Wen's arm and saying, "Boss Qiao Wen, I'm not dreaming, am I? I can work with Su Zhizhi?"

Qiaowen said, "A dream is not a dream, but you still have to sign the contract tomorrow to call it a dream come true."

Sun Dayu said, "No, she hasn't made a movie in a year, supposedly because she had to pick a book, so how could she pick a kung fu movie with our heroine as a sidekick?"

Qiao Wen said, "Didn't she say that? Wanting to make a transition, she first made a movie to test the waters."

Sun Daewoo: "I still find it unbelievable. By the way, are you familiar with her? That's why she sold you such a big favor. Why didn't you say so before, causing us to look at Lin Jia Li's face twice."

Jovian: "Not familiar."

Qiao Wen actually also puzzled, Su Zhi Zhi self-proposal also to just, as she likes Guan Zhen Bao's story, but after self-proposal to reduce the film pay and can be screened and then call the money, and then how it is a bit like selling favors.

But he was certain that he and the other man had only met once and hadn't even spoken enough to have any personal relationship.
