"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Seeing Fang Qiu finish reading the script quickly, Director Chen Xiaogang and scriptwriter Zhao Rulong immediately came up to ask.
"Well, not bad."
Fang Qiu nodded.
He finished reading the script and was quite satisfied with the whole plot structure.
It showed the righteousness of young Yang Yizhi.
"When it was first done, I was very confident, but now I think it needs to be changed again."
Zhao Rulong smiled with satisfaction after getting Fang Qiu's approval. He looked at He Gaoming and the others and said, "This script was created based on Eighth Master Li's team. Before this, I didn't expect that the martial arts director you brought could make the movements so wonderful. Since I saw it, I have to go and have a good talk with them and make some changes."
"Okay."
Fang Qiu nodded.
He knew that the quality of the script had already been set. Now, the most important thing to change was just the action and presentation of some of the fighting scenes. No matter how much he changed, the quality of the script would only increase and not decrease, so he was very assured.
"Director He."
After talking with Fang Qiu, Chen Xiaogang immediately shouted to He Gaoming and then waved his hand to call He Gaoming over.
"Director Chen, what can I do for you?"
He Gaoming came over, put his hand on Fang Qiu's shoulder, and asked with a smile.
"The scriptwriter is looking for you."
Fang Qiu glanced at He Gaoming, pulled He Gaoming's hand off his shoulder, and said, "The script of this movie has been written. I also think it's very good, but because your performance is too wonderful, the scriptwriter wants to talk to you and see if you can make the script better."
"No problem."
He Gaoming immediately nodded and said, "This is what we should do. Scriptwriter, if you have any questions or want to know anything, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"Okay."
Zhao Rulong nodded with a smile.
"I also have something to do."
Chen Xiaogang said in a timely manner, "Although there is still some time before the movie shooting, we must seize this time to design some more wonderful movements, so that we can also improve the efficiency of the movie shooting."
"Okay, anyway, we have nothing to do recently, so we will stay, as long as Director Chen can provide food and accommodation for me and my brothers."
He Gaoming readily agreed.
"Instructor He, shall we begin?"
The scriptwriter, Zhao Rulong, couldn't wait to pull He Gaoming aside and start talking.
"It should be none of my business now, right?"
After He Gaoming and the others left, Fang Qiu turned around and asked.
"I'm fine now."
Chen Xiaogang nodded. He hesitated for a moment before quickly adding, "However, there is one thing that we have yet to discuss."
"What is it?"
Fang Qiu asked curiously.
"Your performance fee."
Chen Xiaogang smiled and said, "I was going to find a day to talk to you about it, but I just heard you say that you only have a month to make a movie, so I gave up that idea. I'll just bring it up now. Anyway, you don't have an agent. Let's talk face to face."
"Yes."
Fang Qiu nodded gently.
"Well, I've also evaluated you. Although you're still a newcomer in the film industry, your current fame is no less than that of an A-list star. So, after some consideration, we've decided to pay you 15 million yuan. What do you think?"
Chen Xiaogang asked with a smile.
Indeed.
Chen Xiaogang was right.
Today's A-list stars' starting salary for a movie was 10 million yuan. Although Fang Qiu was a newcomer, he was more famous than some A-list stars. In addition, Fang Qiu had just been on the Spring Festival Gala. With the bonus of the Spring Festival Gala, 15 million yuan was reasonable. Relatively speaking, it was even a little low.
"Okay."
However, Fang Qiu didn't hesitate. Anyway, he didn't rely on this to make money, so he directly nodded and agreed.
"Okay."
Chen Xiaogang laughed and said, "I've already drafted the contract. Can you take a look?"
As he said.
Chen Xiaogang asked someone to bring the pre-drafted contract over.
Fang Qiu didn't bother to look at it. He directly called He Xue, who had just returned to China, and sent the contract directly to her. He asked He Xue to hand it over to the company's legal department for help.
In the cultivation base in Beijiang.
She received the contract.
He Xue opened it and found that Fang Qiu had acted in a movie, and he actually had a performance fee of 15 million yuan.
"15 million a month. Is it so profitable to make a movie?"
He Xue said in surprise.
Then she handed the contract to the legal department.
The staff of the legal department read it carefully and made sure that there was no problem.
After getting the exact news, He Xue took the initiative to call Fang Qiu.
"How is it?"
Fang Qiu answered the phone and asked directly.
"I can be sure that there's no problem with this contract."
He Xue asked curiously, "However, I'm very curious. With your current fame, although the performance fee of 15 million yuan is quite appropriate, why do you accept a fixed salary? You can ask the director for a bonus. In the end, you will definitely make a lot of money."
"I don't rely on this to make money."
Fang Qiu smiled slightly and said, "What's more, this is the first time we're working together. Just treat it as making friends with Director Chen Xiaogang."
"You're really a spendthrift if you don't seize such a good opportunity!"
He Xue complained.
"If there's no problem with the contract, I'll hang up."
Fang Qiu responded with a smile and then hung up the phone.
"Do you have an agent team?"
After Fang Qiu hung up the phone, Director Chen Xiaogang asked with a puzzled face, "Why didn't you bring him along?"
"No, he's just a friend."
Fang Qiu said.
"Oh."
Chen Xiaogang nodded with understanding.
"There's no problem with the contract. I'll sign it directly."
As he spoke, Fang Qiu found a pen and directly signed his name on the contract that Chen Xiaogang had drawn up in advance.
After signing the contract.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll come on time in ten days."
Fang Qiu said.
"Okay, have a safe trip."
Chen Xiaogang waved goodbye to Fang Qiu and specially called a staff member to see Fang Qiu off.
Leaving Yanqi Film and Television Base.
On the way back to the capital.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The phone in Fang Qiu's trouser pocket suddenly rang.
It was Xu Miaolin.
Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone. When he saw the name Xu Miaolin on the caller ID, his heart suddenly thumped and he faintly panicked, feeling that something had happened.
"Hello?"
Without hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately answered the phone.
"Fang Qiu."
On the other end of the phone, Xu Miaolin's voice came, saying, "I just received the news that the probability of holding the Chinese Medicine Conference in advance is very low. The probability of holding it as scheduled is very small. The biggest possibility is that it will be postponed, even for two years!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Fang Qiu's mind exploded, and then he was completely stunned. For a moment, he couldn't control himself and asked in surprise and anger, "Why?"
Although Fang Qiu's behavior was a little out of control.
However, Xu Miaolin also knew that Fang Qiu had great expectations for the Chinese Medicine Conference. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with Fang Qiu's body, since Fang Qiu had spent so much time on Chinese Medicine and had worked so hard to become a highly-skilled doctor, he must have his own reasons. And the injury that he had diagnosed in Fang Qiu's body at that time, even if it was not Fang Qiu himself, it was very likely to be caused by someone very close to Fang Qiu.
Therefore, Xu Miaolin immediately called Fang Qiu as soon as she heard the news.
It was also because she understood Fang Qiu's impatience that she didn't care about Fang Qiu's emotions at all. Instead, when Fang Qiu lost his composure, she said in a calm tone, "Because of your book, 'Human Traditional Chinese Medicine'!"
"How did this happen? Why?"
Fang Qiu was stunned.
Because of his books?
In the end, it was because of his own book that caused the Chinese Medicine Conference to be postponed for two years?
How could this be?
Why was this happening?
"Maybe you don't know yourself."
Xu Miaolin sighed softly and said, "I have said that once your book starts to circulate in the market, it will inevitably cause a storm in the whole Chinese Medicine industry. You don't know how attractive this book is to those highly-skilled doctors!"
"Now all the highly-skilled doctors in the country are studying your book. The reason why the Chinese Medicine Conference was postponed is to give those highly-skilled doctors two years to study your book thoroughly. Because only when they have a thorough study, they can gather together to discuss and get twice the result with half the effort!"
Hearing this.
Fang Qiu was instantly stunned.
Then, his face became bitter.
"Why did I write this book!"
Gritting his teeth bitterly, Fang Qiu unconsciously clenched his fists and said with regret, "Even if it is delayed by half a year, it would be better!"
"Don't get too excited."
Hearing Fang Qiu's self-blame, Xu Miaolin immediately frowned and said, "As I said, it is only a high probability. It is not confirmed yet. The voting to decide when the Chinese Medicine Conference will be held in a month and a half. At that time, it will depend on whether everyone agrees to postpone it. Then the dust will settle. Now you'd better wait for the news."
"Can, can you persuade them to hold it as scheduled?"
Fang Qiu asked, gritting his teeth.
"It's very difficult."
Xu Miaolin shook her head gently and said, "Because they are not facing you alone. Although your medical skills, your talent, and your 'Human Medicine' have attracted all their attention, they are all old people in the Chinese Medicine industry. Their state of mind is different from that of ordinary people. For them, between meeting and discussing with you or postponing to improve their medical skills, they will most likely choose the latter."
"Doctors are benevolent."
Xu Miaolin sighed softly and said, "In order to save more people, you should know what they will choose. After all, no one can resist this rule in the Chinese Medicine industry."
"I got it."
Fang Qiu clenched his teeth tightly and opened his mouth wide to take a deep breath, trying to calm himself down a little. But he couldn't help but grit his teeth again and said, "I'll wait for the news."
"That's right."
Xu Miaolin nodded and said, "Don't be discouraged. No matter what, as long as it hasn't happened, it doesn't mean there is no turning back. If everyone can study 'Human Medicine' thoroughly in this month and a half, maybe the Chinese Medicine Conference will be held as scheduled."
"Okay, I got it."
