Xia Chengfeng said proudly, "Director Le, Yun Huang can sell a novel for hundreds of millions. How could he be short of money? Director Xiao, let's not waste any more time. Hurry up and sign it before everyone says that you don't keep your word. "
Xiao Yunhai glared at him fiercely. Huang Bo said anxiously, "Third Brother, you can't sign this contract."
The others also tried to persuade him.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "We martial artists always mean what we say. If you want me to go back on my word, I won't do it even if I die. Besides, I don't believe that a living person can hold his pee to death. "
Xiao Yunhai looked through the contract carefully. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name on it. Then, he took the two million in cash from Director Le. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for the two million. I don't understand. Why are you so old but not smart? You're probably the only one who can give me two million for nothing. "
Xia Chengfeng snorted and said disdainfully, "You don't have to put on airs here. I've already investigated the car. Director Xiao, you should think about how you're going to move your things. "
The crew of "Chu River and Han Border" laughed out loud.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I, Xiao Yunhai, always plan before acting. Do you think I wouldn't say something like that if I didn't have a backup plan?"
Everyone was shocked. Could there be a variable?
Xia Chengfeng frowned and looked at Director Le. "You don't have any extra cars here, do you?"
Director Le shook his head quickly and said, "No, I can guarantee with my life that we don't have any left."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said confidently, "Director Le, don't make such promises. That's right, you don't have any old cars, but that doesn't mean you don't have any new ones. "
Xiao Yunhai took out his phone and called Tiger Liang. "How's it going?"
"No problem. Six trucks will be there soon."
Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction.
It turned out that Hengdian Film City had ordered 20 new trucks at the beginning of the year in order to satisfy the needs of the major production teams. All the procedures had just been completed two days ago and they were ready to go online in a few days.
This matter was very confidential. Even Director Le did not hear anything about it.
Tiger Liang was the nephew of the studio's boss, so there was naturally no problem in using him in advance.
Xiao Yunhai put down the phone and said to Lv Pengfei, Huang Bo, and Wang Cheng, "Move everything down. The new car will be here soon."
After hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, the few people who originally thought that they were at a disadvantage instantly became spirited and quickly arranged for people to unload the things.
Xia Chengfeng looked at the frowning Director Le and asked, "Do you have any new cars?"
Director Le shook his head in confusion and said, "No, I've never received any news of a new car."
Xia Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a bluff."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard the honks of several cars outside. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw six brand new trucks appear in front of them one by one.
"Yeah, that's great. There really are cars."
The people on the set of Empresses in the Palace cheered.
Xia Chengfeng's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
A young man in his twenties stepped out of the first car. When he saw Xiao Yunhai, his eyes lit up and he hurried over. "Mr. Xiao, these are the cars that the boss prepared for you. If it's not enough, he can send you a few more."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and smiled. "These cars are enough for our crew. Thank you for your trouble. Brother Lv, take the drivers to breakfast. Neck, Wang Cheng, get someone to move everything to the cars. "
Lv Pengfei nodded happily and said, "Okay, please follow me."
The man thanked him and called for the other drivers to follow Lv Pengfei to breakfast.
Yu Yuexian looked at Xia Chengfeng's angry face and said to Zhao Wanqing, "Your boss is too sinister. He cheated Xia Chengfeng of two million yuan so easily. Sigh, Xia Chengfeng is about to explode from anger. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "He reaps what he sows. Who asked him to look for trouble?"
Yu Yuexian shook her head and smiled. "Two million yuan, haha, this money is too easy to earn."
Yao Wenyuan, who was standing on the other side, also said emotionally, "This kid's acting is so real. He even tricked me."
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Two million yuan for one scene. Director Xiao is probably the most expensive actor in Hua Xia, no, in the whole world."
Xiao Yunhai glanced at the ashen-faced Xia Chengfeng and smiled faintly. He shouted to the crew members who were busy working: "Everyone, do your best. As long as you perform well today, I will add an extra 100 yuan on top of the original base. I will also improve everyone's meals for lunch and dinner."
"That's great."
"Long live Director Xiao!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me this time. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Xia Chengfeng. He is indeed a noble person. He donated two million yuan to our crew for no reason. "
Huang Bo and Wang Cheng looked at each other and shouted at the same time, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."
The others also shouted in unison, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."
Xia Chengfeng's face turned green and white. His chest heaved violently. He glared at Director Le and left quickly.
Huang Bo saw that he was leaving and shouted, "Have a safe journey, Mr. Xia."
Everyone shouted in unison again, "Have a safe journey, Mr. Xia."
Xia Chengfeng staggered and turned around to glare fiercely at him.
Huang Bo and the others said it as if they were saying goodbye to a dead person. It would be strange if Xia Chengfeng was not angry.
After Xia Chengfeng left, Du Hongtai looked deeply at Xiao Yunhai and said softly to Wang Guoan, "This little director of yours is really a master who won't even pay for his own life."
Wang Guoan smiled and said, "I'm sorry for making your crew lose so much money."
Du Hongtai said, "This is Xia Chengfeng's own business. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, I didn't lose anything. Six big cars and the remaining two in the studio are enough for me. Alright, Old Wang, let's talk later. If I stay here for too long, he won't be happy. "
Wang Guoan nodded and looked at Du Hongtai's back. He muttered, "Looks like Old Du is a little dissatisfied with Xia Chengfeng."
The big car storm was easily resolved by Xiao Yunhai. Xia Chengfeng tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Not only did he give Xiao Yunhai two million for free, but he also became the laughing stock of the two crew members. It was a complete loss of face.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, "Step by Step" starring Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing had finished broadcasting on Yunan TV station. The average rating was 11% and the highest rating was 22%. It broke countless records.
With such good results, Hanhai Film Investment Company naturally had to hold a big celebration party.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing, as the male and female leads, flew back to Beijing from Hengdian Film City in the afternoon.
As for the crew's matters, Xiao Yunhai gave full authority to the assistant director, Lv Pengfei. Lv Pengfei was so excited that he almost cried.
"Empresses in the Palace" was now in the fast lane under Xiao Yunhai's management. The number of scenes they filmed every day was more than twice that of other crews. The speed was unbelievably fast.
Although Xiao Yunhai had given the crew quite a bit of salary, everyone was very clear that this price was completely negligible in the face of the results achieved.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing just got off the airport when they were stopped by the reporters and fans who heard the news.
At a glance, there were no less than a hundred reporters who came to pick them up. There were even more fans, at least a thousand people. It could be seen how popular "Step by Step" was.
"Master Si, Ruoxi, you guys are the best."
"Ruoxi, Ruoxi, we love you."
"Master Si, when will you marry Ruoxi?"
When the fans saw their idols come out, they all screamed crazily. The reporters' flashing lights were also roaring.
Under the protection of the airport security, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing waved to the fans and walked to the Great Wall car that came to pick them up.
"Mr. Xiao, are you surprised by the results of" Step by Step by Step "?"
"Ms. Zhao, as the first TV series you starred in, how do you feel about the ratings breaking 20%?"
"Do you two think that" Empresses in the Palace "will surpass the results of" Step by Step "?"
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing turned a deaf ear to the reporters' questions. They got into the car as fast as they could, started the car, and rushed to the hotel rented by Hanhai Entertainment.
When they arrived at the destination, it was already 5: 30 in the afternoon. The main crew had already arrived.
Seeing the two of them come in, Deng Yue smiled and said, "Look, Master Si and Ruoxi are here."
Gao Wei smiled and said, "They're so late. Don't you think they should be punished?"
"Yes, at least three glasses in a row."
"Come on, what's the difference between three glasses of wine and three glasses of water for Master Si? I think 30 glasses is more like it. "
"Hahaha."
"Step by Step" had achieved such good results, which made everyone very popular. Gao Wei, Yang Junsheng, and the other actors had been in the B-list before "Step by Step" was aired. After "Step by Step" was aired, they immediately became A-listers and were very busy with all kinds of work.
Xiao Yunhai picked up a glass of wine and said, "Let me make one thing clear, I can drink if you want. But for every glass I drink, your red packets will be reduced by 100,000 yuan. What do you think? "
Deng Yue immediately took the glass from his hand and said flatteringly, "Brother Si, drinking too much is not good for your health. You still have to direct" Empresses in the Palace "and your body is very delicate. I don't think you should drink."
"That's right, that's right. I was just joking with you. Brother Si, no matter what, you can't drink tonight. If you really can't stand it, I'll go out and buy you a drink right now. "Gao Wei immediately changed his tone.
Xiao Yunhai pointed at the two of them and said with a smile, "You guys are really thick-skinned for the sake of money."
Yang Junsheng chuckled and said, "I'll say the same thing again. How much is thick-skinned worth? Brother Si, our "Step by Step" broke 20 points. I wonder how much red packets you guys are going to give us? Are you really going to give us what you said before? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You guys can make millions with just one commercial. Do you still need to care about this little red packet?"
Gao Wei sighed and said, "No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."
Zhao Wanqing burst out laughing and said, "People say that one is marked by the company one keeps. Why do I feel like you guys are the same as Xiao Yunhai?"
Gao Wei smiled and said, "We're brothers. Of course, it's about the same."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't joke around. I won't forget about your red packets. Are Director Chen and Teacher Huang here yet? "
Eighth Elder Brother Lu Mengbin said, "They arrived a long time ago. They're playing mahjong upstairs."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then let's go up and say hello first."
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing went to the room where Chen Qingqing and the others were playing mahjong. As soon as they walked in, they heard Huang Peiqi shout, "President Zhao, I'm sorry. I won."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher Huang won the moment Wan Qing and I came in. Shouldn't we get half of the money we won?"
After Xiao Yunhai said that, he greeted Chen Qingqing, Zhao Mingsheng, and Gu Huaidong, who were sitting at the table.
Huang Peiqi chuckled and said, "Don't talk about the door. There's not even a window."
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Director Xiao, our" Step by Step "viewership ratings have exceeded 22%. It's a new record in ten years. I don't know if you still have the confidence to make 'Empresses in the Palace' surpass' Step by Step. '"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Director Chen, don't worry. Your record won't last for long. To our 'Empresses in the Palace', 22% viewership ratings can be broken easily. Who knows, we might even be able to create a miracle of 30% viewership ratings. "
When Chen Qingqing heard that, he asked Huang Peiqi, who was beside him, "Old Huang, why did I see a cow flying in the sky just now?"
Huang Peiqi nodded and said, "Because someone was blowing on the ground, and the wind was very strong. It almost blew the cow into outer space."
"Hahaha."
Zhao Mingsheng and Gu Huaidong had never heard of this joke before, so they both laughed.
Xiao Yunhai didn't care about the two's "mockery." He smiled and said, "Looks like the two of you don't believe me."
"It'd be strange if I believed you. It's already very rare for our 'Step by Step' to break 20%. How can 30% be possible? "Huang Peiqi asked.
"Yeah, as the internet becomes more and more popular, I reckon that even 20% viewership ratings will be unattainable in the future." Chen Qingqing nodded and sighed.
"The two of you don't believe me. Why don't we make a bet? If my 'Empresses in the Palace' viewership ratings can break 30%, the two of you will have to make a guest appearance in my future shows for free. "
Chen Qingqing and Huang Peiqi looked at each other and said, "No problem. What if you lose? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "If I lose, I'll write a script for Teacher Chen with Teacher Huang as the main character. It'll be on par with 'Step by Step.' How about that?"
Huang Peiqi smiled and said, "Looks like you're very confident in 'Empresses in the Palace'. Of course, I can't reject such a good offer. "
Chen Qingqing said, "That's it. We'll bet."
Zhao Mingsheng said, "Old Gu and I will be your witnesses. When the time comes, no matter who starts filming, we'll invest in you."
