A reporter in his thirties took out his phone from his pocket and made a call.
"Miss Hausman, I have bad news for you. Kungfu Xiao is about to arrive at the set of Thunder War. Everyone is saying that he's here for Mr. Hartnett. "
"What? Kungfu Xiao is here. How could he be so fast? We're in big trouble now. He and David Hartnett are friends, and he's an international director. Our efforts over the past few days might go down the drain. "
"Then what should we do?"
"Mr. Franklin will arrive tonight. How about this, I'll report to him first."
In a five-star hotel, Este Hausman, the head of Paramount's brokerage department, was wearing white pajamas, which covered her curvaceous body. Although she was thirty-five years old and had a child, she had taken good care of herself. Her skin was still fair and smooth, and her face was as beautiful as a flower.
Unfortunately, Esther Hausman's frown ruined her beauty.
"Boss, something bad happened."
"What happened? I'm on the plane. "Franklin's voice came from the phone.
"Boss, there's a change of events. Kungfu Xiao is about to arrive at David Hartnett's set."
"What? Didn't he go to Hua Xia? When did he go to New Zealand? This is outrageous. "
Franklin was very concerned about the whereabouts of his enemy, Xiao Yunhai.
Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Yunhai would change his itinerary last night and fly to New Zealand. This gave him a very bad premonition in his heart. He was afraid that this trip would be in vain.
Xiao Yunhai was the richest man in the world and the owner of Marvel. It could be said that he gave David Hartnett enough face by personally recruiting him.
Not to mention that he couldn't fly over, even if he met David Hartnett now, it would be difficult for him to compete with him.
After all, he was just an employee at best. He wasn't on the same level as Xiao Yunhai. Unless David Steer came in person, he would be on the same level as him. Unfortunately, it was impossible for David Steer to lower his status and meet an actor, even if it was an award-winning actor.
"Boss, what should we do?" Esther Hausman asked anxiously on the phone.
Franklin frowned and said, "Do you have a way to meet David Hartnett now?"
"The crew won't let me in. I haven't been able to see him yet. "
"Then contact his manager and tell him that as long as Hartnett joins Paramount, not only will we give him a 1: 9 commission, everything else will be up to him. Also, he could act in any movie that Paramount invested in. In short, you must tell Kungfu Xiao our sincerity before he arrives, understand? "
"I understand. You want to make a comparison with Xiao. As long as Xiao's conditions are inferior to ours, there will be a turn for the better, right? "
"That's right. Time waits for no one. Hurry up and do it. "
Esther Hausman put down her phone and immediately called David Hartnett's manager, Melinda.
Melinda looked at the number on her phone and shook it in front of David Hartnett. "Ms. Hausman from Paramount. I think she must have found out that Mr. Xiao is coming soon, so she called. "
Hartnett smiled and said, "Then pick it up. She probably wants to tell you the last condition Paramount gave me. "
Melinda pressed the answer button and said with a smile, "Esther, you just called me last night. Why are you calling again now?"
"Melinda, if I didn't call, I'm afraid Mr. Franklin, the general manager of Paramount, wouldn't be here before Mr. Hartnett is taken."
Melinda revealed an "as expected" expression and said, "Esther, do you know that Mr. Xiao is coming to visit?"
"Yes. I also know that he must be here for Mr. Hartnett, right? "
"I'm not sure about that. He and David are friends. Maybe he's just here to visit. "
"Impossible. Kungfu Xiao is the richest man in the world. He's so busy every day. How can he just come to visit? Melinda, you don't have to lie to me. I'm not a fool. I just received a call from Mr. Franklin. He hopes that Mr. David Hartnett can join us at Paramount. For this, we can give him the most generous and free contract. "
After listening to Paramount's conditions, Melinda smiled and said, "Paramount is really sincere. This should be the best contract for an actor in Hollywood. Don't worry, I'll tell David every word. "
"Then I'll leave it to you."
After the call, Melinda told David Hartnett about the treatment Paramount had prepared for him.
"This is indeed very good. However, I don't like Paramount because they do things by hook or by crook. Especially that Mr. Franklin. He always gives people a feeling of ruthlessness. "David Hartnett didn't hide his dislike of Paramount at all and said bluntly.
Melinda hurriedly shushed him. She looked around and said, "David, be quiet. If your words reach Paramount's ears, you'll be in big trouble. "
David Hartnett smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll only tell you. I definitely won't say this in front of anyone else. "
Melinda was very happy with Hartnett's trust. She said, "Actually, I feel the same way as you. If you really have to choose, your good friend Mr. Xiao is more reliable. He has a good reputation in Hollywood, and he treats his employees even better. "
David Hartnett shrugged and said, "But I really don't want to join any film company."
Melinda said, "David, you have to know that it's really difficult to be a freelance artist in Hollywood. Even if you're a Best Actor, it's hard to establish yourself there. At the very least, those companies will only look for their own actors for their blockbusters, and definitely won't look for an outsider like you. To be honest, I really don't think highly of your decision. "
David Hartnett said, "I know what you mean. Forget it, let's talk about it when we meet Empress Xiao. "
At 11 o 'clock in the morning, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing arrived at the set of "Battle of Thunder."
As soon as they got out of the car, the reporters surrounded them.
"Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, why are you here this time?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "David is my good friend. He made a guest appearance in 'The Voice of America' before, so I came to see him to return the favor. "
"Mr. Xiao, is the main purpose of your visit this time to persuade Hartnett to join Marvel? You have to know that many film companies have come before. "
Xiao Yunhai pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't he an actor from Columbia? Could it be that his contract has expired? Sorry, I really don't know about this. When we meet later, I will have to ask him properly. Of course, it would be great if he could join our Marvel Studios. Everyone knows that I,
Marvel, don't have a Best Actor in the agency department. "
At this time, Director Mitch Trevelkan and David Hartnett, who had already received the news, came over.
"Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, I'm very happy that you two can visit the set of" Battle of Thunder. " I'm Director Mitch Trevelkan. "
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and smiled. "Director Trevelkan, I'm very sorry to disturb your filming."
Mitch Trevelkan laughed and said, "It's our honor that Mr. Xiao and Ms. Zhao can come to our set in person. There's no such thing as disturbing. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and turned to David Hartnett. He laughed and said, "David, it seems that you're doing well here. Your skin isn't tanned from such a hot sun. "
David Hartnett said, "Forget it. This is an action movie. I'm exhausted every day. If only I had one-tenth of your skills. At least it wouldn't be so tiring. Ms. Zhao, the song 'My Heart Will Go On' that you sang last night was amazing. I don't know when the music video will be released. I must buy one. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. I can get someone to send it to you. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "David, I seem to sing well too. If you want, I can send you one after I finish shooting the music video. "
David Hartnett shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid you'll ask me for money. "
"Hahaha."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Yunhai lightly punched him and scolded jokingly, "You bastard, am I that kind of person?"
David Hartnett thought for a moment and said, "That's true."
Xiao Yunhai slapped his forehead and was speechless.
