Chapter 52 Happiness is built on the pain of the enemy

"Then you are still defaulting on your debt." Jiang Wen said.

"Bullshit, I'm not giving him money because I'm planning to buy his shop. Not only will I not give him money today, I won't give him money in the future either." Xu Ming said.

Jiang Wen stroked his hair and said, "Oh my goodness, I've run into a rogue."

"To deal with a rogue, you have to use rogue methods." Xu Ming said with a smile.

He had seen "Let the Bullets Fly", but in the other party's eyes, he had not read the script and was not clear about the plot.

Of course, we can't follow Liuzi's ideas, we have to follow his heart.

"If only the struggle were that simple. Some blood would not be shed in order to awaken the people." Jiang Wen sighed.

I don't know if he was talking to Xu Ming or talking to himself.

Anyway, Xu Ming didn't dare to respond.

After saying that, Jiang Wen looked at Xu Ming and said, "I have two roles here, one is the one who wrongly accuses someone, and the other is the one who is wrongly accused. Which one do you want to play?"

"No need to try?" Xu Ming wondered.

My fame isn't enough to make the other party compromise to this extent, right?
"It was just an audition. You're an interesting person. I like to act with interesting people."

Jiang Wen paused and said confidently: "As for whether I can perform well, that is something I should consider."

Yes, I know you are good at training actors.

I really should give you a Yang Tianbao to try...

"The last one."

Xu Ming said decisively, "I am as stubborn as you are. I can't act like someone who wrongly accuses someone."

Jiang Wen's eyes twitched twice, and he suspected that this boy was mocking him.

It's hard to say whether he himself is tough or not, but the gleam in the eyes of the boy opposite him shows that he is definitely a smart guy.

"But the latter one has more scenes." Jiang Wen reminded.

"My schedule is indeed a bit tight." Xu Ming smiled back.

The conversation between the middle-aged man and the young man was so intense that everyone around them could not keep up.

Screenwriter Shu Ping couldn't help but laugh: "Old Jiang, you're right, if this kid wasn't so young, I think he could replace you to play Zhang Muzhi. He's full of bandit spirit."

"Okay, you're really brave. Sign the contract and take a makeup photo." Jiang Wen said happily with a laugh.

"Is this settled?"

It was Xu Ming's turn to feel uncomfortable. The speed was so fast that he was a little panicked.

For example, when you go out for a blind date, the girl will drag you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate the day before you meet. It's hard not to wonder if there is a child who is anxious to recognize her father.

"Otherwise, do you plan to have two or three rounds of interviews, and finally make the final decision after many rounds of competition?"

Jiang Wen raised his lips and said arrogantly, "This is my movie. I'll cast whoever I like."

It's rare to be able to calm this kid down. From the moment he entered the house, he acted like he was back home, so casual.

"Really? I heard that your project was initially a one-man show." Xu Ming asked back with a confused expression.

This may have been true for Jiang Wen in the past, but now, since he has invested his own money, he has to compromise with the market for sure.

This guy has a tough appearance and a soft body.

When he was caught by Xiaoqing's grandmother's ex-husband, the self-criticism was written very neatly, and he was able to bend and stretch at the critical moment.

On the other hand, his younger brother Jiang Wu is honest and simple in daily life, but his ideas are very positive.

He is the first actor in later generations who dares to promote Chinese culture on a public platform. For this reason, he is a real man.

Jiang Wen's face darkened, and he waved his hand, "Superficial, it's normal to revise the script."

In fact, the investors wanted Chow Yun-fat to play the role, so they increased Huang Silang's role. Later, when the script was revised, Master Tang's role was also greatly increased.

This is how the three-legged tripod situation came about.

As for what this guy said later, that he was not clear about Zhou Runfa's market value, that was pure nonsense.

Although Chow Yun-fat's films have failed at the box office, he is indeed very famous in Asia.

What Xu Ming criticized before was just that this guy's status and pay were inflated.

"Ah, yes, yes, you are right." Xu Ming nodded repeatedly. Jiang Wen originally thought that this boy was teachable, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right.

There are obviously three correct answers, but putting them together is a bit ironic.

He said unhappily, "Any other questions? If not, go sign the contract."

"I really have one."

Xu Ming didn't care about Jiang Wen's helpless look and continued, "The investor of this play is Emperor Entertainment Group. Why did you choose me?"

The key point is that he also has conflicts with the Hong Kong circle and Chow Yun-fat.

Which little genius came up with the idea of bringing all the enemies together?
I'm not afraid of a fight on the set.

Jiang Wen's eyes became strange when he heard this, and he suddenly laughed: "You don't know?"

"Know what?" Xu Ming wondered.

"Zhongying also invested in this play of mine. It was Mr. Han who recommended you to me." Jiang Wen said meaningfully.

China Film Group? Mr. Han?
A name emerged in Xu Ming's mind.

All the doubts in his mind were immediately resolved.

No wonder Emperor Entertainment Group allowed me to audition for a movie they sponsored.

No wonder the role of Liuzi was originally supposed to go to Zhang Mo, but now Jiang Wen gave it to himself without hesitation.

Can Emperor Entertainment Group be bigger than China Film Group?
No matter how great Zhang Guoli is, can he be better than Han Sanping?
Thinking back to what his master had said to him that day, Xu Ming's heart was filled with turmoil.

Father’s love is like a mountain.

Regardless of whether Mr. Han recognizes him or not, he is definitely the adopted son.

Is there a godfather?
I can recognize ten!
"I see. I also have to thank Director Jiang for his appreciation." Xu Ming said.

Jiang Wen was very pleased and said with a smile: "To be honest, I should be the one thanking you."

"Ah?" Xu Ming was confused.

I just asked Jiang Wu to perm his hair, is that so helpful?
"Haha, thanks to you, one of our leading actors reduced his salary significantly, saving a lot of money for filming." Jiang Wen couldn't stop smiling when he mentioned this.

This was a windfall. Even if Zhou Runfa's original salary was a friendly price, it still accounted for a lot of the filming funds.

Now that we can save on actors’ salaries, we can increase the money we spend on filming and production.

After Xu Ming thought about it for a moment, he knew why.

He touched his nose, not expecting such a butterfly effect to occur: "You are enjoying yourself, but I have offended so many people. Aren't you afraid of a fight on the set?"

However, he thought that Zhou Runfa, with his old arms and legs, would not be able to defeat him.

"Haha, why do you think Mr. Han recommended you to my crew?" Jiang Wen sneered.

His crew brought together filmmakers from three places to let everyone know who is the owner of this piece of land.

It is also clear that we should stand up and support the current trend of rectifying the wrongs.

After Xu Ming understood this, he became happy. It turned out that he now had golden protection.

Then he said, "So you don't have any other practical suggestions?"

"Get lost. Don't leave so soon after taking the pictures. Stay for dinner tonight."

Jiang Wen has figured it out. This kid was born in the year of the monkey and will climb up as soon as you give him a pole.

"Got it."

Xu Ming chuckled and followed the assistant director to sign the contract.

The pay was unexpectedly high, one million.

"Teacher Xu, this is the thank-you fee that Director Jiang specifically asked you to give you, but you have to keep it secret. Many supporting actors performed for free, and Teacher Ge You only got five million." said the assistant director.

Damn, I knew I had wrongly blamed Jiang Zemin. What a generous man.

Xu Ming casually asked, "How much did Zhou Runfa's pay drop?"

“Let me put it this way, it was previously denominated in U.S. dollars, but now it’s denominated in RMB,” said the assistant director.

Xu Ming understood clearly that he wanted his happiness to be built on the suffering of his enemies.
