Lin Momo sighed and said, "I'm going to shoot a commercial for Lin's Jewelry to enhance the influence of the brand. When I was in Shanghai, I made an appointment with a big star, but I haven't done it yet."
"The reason why I delayed coming to the capital for a few days is because of this commercial."
Qin Haodong asked, "Why? Is it troublesome to shoot a commercial? We can just pay for it. "
"It's not troublesome to shoot a commercial, but the big star is." "We made an agreement, but he changed it again and again. He always said that he was too busy and his schedule was too full. It's obvious that he doesn't take our commercial seriously."
"I just received a call from his agent. He said that he was free at nine o 'clock tonight and made an appointment to shoot the commercial in Movie City."
Qin Haodong frowned. He had long heard that some stars liked to play big shots. He used to think that they were far away from him, but he didn't expect to meet them today.
"It's not safe for you to be alone at night. I'll go with you."
Then he got in the car with Lin Momo and rushed to Movie City.
With Qin Haodong's company, Lin Momo's heart was full of happiness.
Although she was busy with work and had not yet broken through the threshold of the Saint Realm, she was still a level nine supreme power master. How could she not be safe? The little man just wanted to accompany her.
After getting in the car, Qin Haodong said, "Why do we have to use such a big star? We can just change someone else. Anyway, we have to spend money. It doesn't matter who we choose. "
Lin Momo said, "The idea of our commercial this time is about a swordsman. After a narrow escape from death, he grabs a piece of jewelry from Lin's Group and then gives it to his lover."
"In order to shoot a good commercial, we need a famous star, and Tong Shaowu is just the right one."
"If we change someone else, all the slightly famous actors are like to play big shots, which will waste more time. It's better to use the current one."
"After so many times, I guess there won't be any changes this time. After all, he also likes to make money."
Qin Haodong nodded. He also knew Tong Shaowu because he often watched his fighting scenes in the dormitory.
At that time, he had not practiced martial arts yet, so he thought that Tong Shaowu's kung fu was very powerful. Now that he had become a real martial artist, he realized that it was just a fancy trick.
The two chatted as they drove to Movie City.
Although it was already night time, the whole city was still very lively. Many crew members were working overtime to film here.
It was the first time that Qin Haodong had been to such a place. He looked around and saw many stars that he could only see on TV.
When they arrived at the set, the studio was already set up. The two of them walked in and saw that the background, curtains, lights, and cameras were all ready.
Among the crowd, there was a middle-aged man with a cap and a big beard. He was talking to two prop masters. He was wearing a green vest full of pockets. Needless to say, he was the director.
He found it very interesting that all the directors were dressed the same way. He did not know if it was because of the rules of the industry or some other reason.
"Aiyo, Miss Lin, you're here!"
After seeing Lin Momo, the bearded director immediately came over and greeted them politely.
"Haodong, let me introduce you. This is Director Xue, and this is my boyfriend, Qin Haodong. He is also a major shareholder of Lin's Jewelry and my boss."
Director Xue's name was Xue Kui. When he heard that Qin Haodong was the boss of Lin's Group, he was slightly stunned at first. Then he hurried to shake hands with him and said, "Mr. Qin, you're really young and promising!"
Qin Haodong greeted him politely and then asked, "Hasn't Tong Shaowu arrived yet?"
"He should be here soon. There are too many cars in the capital, so he may be a little late."
Director Xue was a nice person and did not put on airs at all. He asked his assistant to bring a few stools and poured a cup of coffee for Qin Haodong and Lin Momo.
Directors might be very talkative. Xue Kui and Qin Haodong sat together and chatted while waiting. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.
Qin Haodong looked at the time and found that it was already 9: 30, half an hour later than the agreed time, but Tong Shaowu still did not move at all.
Qin Haodong could not help frowning. He had pushed back so many schedules and finally decided on a time, but now he was late again. Did this guy really think he was a big shot?
As a very shrewd director, Xue Kui noticed Qin Haodong's dissatisfaction. He quickly took the script from his assistant and said, "Mr. Qin, it's your first time here. Let me explain the script to you. If you think something is wrong, please give me some advice."
Qin Haodong knew that it was not easy for the director, so he endured it. After explaining the script, another hour passed.
He said, "Director Xue, please call them and see when they will arrive."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll call them now."
As the big boss of the investor, Xue Kui did not dare to offend Qin Haodong. He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Tong Shaowu's assistant.
Two minutes later, he came back with his mobile phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. Boss Tong's assistant said that they are stuck in traffic."
Qin Haodong was speechless. Although the capital was famous for traffic jams, it was already night. When he and Lin Momo arrived, there was no traffic jam. Now that nearly two hours had passed, how could there be a traffic jam?
However, seeing Xue Kui's embarrassed expression, Qin Haodong did not say anything since he had already called Tong Shaowu. He thought that it would be fine after a while.
However, after waiting for more than an hour, it was already midnight. They had drunk four or five cups of coffee, but there was still no response from Tong Shaowu.
Qin Haodong completely lost his patience. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and said to Xue Kui, "Director Xue, please call them again and see what's going on."
Xue Kui also felt that it had been too long, so he took out his mobile phone and called Tong Shaowu's assistant.
As soon as the phone was connected, Qin Haodong took the phone from him and said, "I'm your investor. I'll give you another half an hour. If you don't arrive at the Film City within half an hour, I'll terminate the contract."
After that, he hung up the phone and gave it back to Xue Kui.
Although Tong Shaowu was a superstar, Qin Haodong was not used to bad habits. If Tong Shaowu continued to terminate the contract, he would find someone else at most.
Xue Kui did not expect that this gentle young boss was so hot-tempered.
He took back the phone, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Qin, Tong Shaowu recently signed a new film company. The boss is very powerful. Please don't have any conflict with him when he comes."
"Do you know who's behind him?"
Qin Haodong was bored waiting, so he asked.
He was indeed a little curious. He did not know what kind of background could make Tong Shaowu so unscrupulous and ignore the investor.
Xue Kui said, "You're making things difficult for me. I'm just a small director and I don't know much about the inside story. I just heard that the new Dongsheng Film and Television Company has a strong background."
"Oh!"
Qin Haodong nodded casually and did not take it seriously. Even the Seven Great Families in the capital had been defeated by him, so he did not care about the background.
The phone call worked. In less than half an hour, a young man in his thirties came in from outside. Before he came to Qin Haodong, the whole studio was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
It was Tong Shaowu. At this time, he stumbled and did not fall down with the help of his assistant.
"I'm just a few minutes late. Do you have to keep calling me? Do you want to die?"
Tong Shaowu vented his anger discontentedly and the smell of alcohol became stronger as he spoke.
Xue Kui quickly said with a smile, "Boss Tong, don't be angry. Let's finish the shooting as soon as possible. You can also go back and have a rest."
He should have stopped while he was ahead, but Tong Shaowu did not buy it. He turned to look at Lin Momo and said, "Girl, you just invested a few dollars. It's not a big deal. I'm just a little late. Why are you rushing me? "
Lin Momo's schedule had been postponed several times. When she was finally ready to shoot, this man was drunk again.
She said with a cold face, "Mr. Tong, according to the contract, we should have finished shooting a long time ago. You postponed it several times and now you've drunk so much. Can we still shoot the show?"
Seeing that Lin Momo did not buy it, Tong Shaowu immediately lost his temper and shouted angrily, "It's none of your business! I have many friends in the capital. What's wrong with drinking a few glasses of wine? "
Seeing that the two sides were getting fiercer and fiercer, Xue Kui quickly stood up to smooth things over. "You … You two, peace makes money. Don't quarrel. Since Boss Tong is here, let's hurry up and shoot the advertisement!"
He was just a small director, and it was very difficult for him to be sandwiched between the big stars and the investors. He could not afford to offend either side.
Lin Momo said angrily, "Look at him. He's drunk. Can he still shoot the show?"
At this time, Tong Shaowu's head and face were red and he was very drunk. He could not shoot the advertisement.
Xue Kui said, "He can. Please believe me. It's no problem. I'll ask the makeup artist to do a good job. It won't affect the shooting."
Seeing that things had come to this, Lin Momo snorted and said nothing.
But Tong Shaowu shouted again, "Hurry up and don't waste my time. I'll only give you half an hour. No matter what, I'm going back to sleep."
"What? How can half an hour be enough? It's written in the contract that it's three hours! "
Lin Momo's anger burst out again. Half an hour was not even enough to put on makeup for this guy.
"The contract? It's written for you. It's useless to me! " Although Tong Shaowu was drunk, he was still very arrogant. "I'll tell you, I said half an hour and I won't shoot more than that!"
As he spoke, he staggered forward. At this time, he seemed to see Lin Momo's beautiful face.
"Girl, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. If you agree to sleep with me tonight, I'll shoot for three hours …"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his collar was grabbed by someone. Then he flew up and fell to the ground with a bang.
Qin Haodong originally wanted to let Lin Momo deal with it, but this guy was so annoying. If he did not teach him a lesson, he would feel sorry for himself.
Tong Shaowu was in a daze. He struggled to get up from the ground and cursed, "Who the hell? Who the hell dares to hit me?"
Xue Kui was stunned. He did not expect that the gentle little boss would hit him so easily. Tong Shaowu was a fighter, so he was very strong. He weighed at least 70 kilograms.
But Qin Haodong seemed to weigh nothing and threw him to the ground casually.
"Mr. Qin, calm down. Mr. Dong is just drunk. He's not like this usually …"
Qin Haodong sneered and said, "Drunk? I'll sober him up if he drinks too much. "
