Liu Guotai originally prepared a calligraphy and painting, which was given to him by a celebrity and was worth hundreds of thousands, because he knew that ordinary bosses like to be arty, but he did not expect that Jia Erhu was so young and had no style at all.
He doesn't look like a rich second generation, nor does he look like someone with a huge family background, nor does he even look like an entrepreneur. He is no different from the college students who occasionally pass by on the road, and he comes from the countryside.
He felt that if he gave calligraphy and paintings to Jia Erhu, he didn't know, he thought he was relying on his old age to show off, or that he was teaching Jia Erhu how to behave.
After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't take down the calligraphy and painting.
Originally he did not let his grandson go in together, but Jia Erhu invited his grandson.
After the four people sat down, Chu Yilan asked Liu Guotai what kind of tea he wanted to drink. Liu Guotai wanted to treat him and asked Jia Erhu to order it.
Jia Erhu said that he respected Liu Guotai's intention, but Liu Guotai ordered Lushan Yunwu. Chu Yilan immediately followed the waiter out and bought a pound of tea.
Because Jia Erhu was too young and sincere, Liu Guotai, who had met everyone, almost gave up all politeness and said to Jia Erhu directly: "Mr. Jia, I'm afraid you know my situation. The main thing now is that I don't have a People dare to ask me to act because I accidentally offended people with my words in the past two years, and they all offended those in the industry.
If your company's future development is also restricted by these capitals, I won't bother you.
If you are trying to find a new way outside the 49 cities, you don’t need the capital in the circle. As long as your company invests in making movies, you don’t care about the remuneration, and you can be on call whenever you want. "
When his grandson heard this, although he didn't express anything, he felt a little resentful towards him in his heart.
No matter what, Liu Guotai is a well-known artist and an experienced actor. Even if the tiger falls flat, there is no need to behave like a dog.
In the eyes of his grandson, his statement was tantamount to lowering his worth. Who would take him seriously?
And his grandson does not want him to continue working in the film and television industry.
After all, the family conditions are good, and he is not expected to support the family. He is already old, so why not enjoy his life at home?
Of course, his grandson also knows that grandpa does it for sentiment, not for money.
But for the sake of feelings, is it necessary to nod and bow to a grandchild of yourself, looking humble?
But he didn't understand Liu Guotai's mentality. If he didn't work and others wouldn't let him work, they were completely different.
In addition, he saw that Jia Erhu's fame in the circle could be said to have exploded overnight, but there was no sense of complacency or arrogance at all.
In particular, he was worried that Jia Erhu would not understand his situation and treat him as a treasure. How embarrassing would it be if he knew the truth afterwards?
What's more, he didn't want to be tricked by Jia Erhu just because he helped him.
Jia Erhu signaled Chu Yilan to take out the tablet, pulled up the electronic contract from it, and handed the tablet to Liu Guotai.
"Mr. Liu, look at this."
Liu Guotai took out his reading glasses and was stunned when he saw it was an artist contract.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him like that, Jia Erhu was a little confused.
If he read the following content, Jia Erhu would certainly know that he must be too lenient with the artists because of the terms and conditions, just like everyone else.
The problem is that he only read the top line and was stunned.
"Mr. Jia." Liu Guotai explained: "I have a job, and I am still receiving retirement salary. I cannot sign this kind of contract."
Only then did Jia Erhu react and said with a smile: "I'm sorry. I heard that you were blocked from filming. I thought that if you sign a contract with me, you will become a member of our Red Star Film and Television. I would like to see who dares to stop you. .
Otherwise, we can change the contract and hire you as our honorary art director. We can also specify that you will not be paid.
This way, it won't conflict with your status quo. "
Liu Guotai nodded and said: "That's okay, but I'm afraid I won't be qualified."
Chu Yilan said: "If Teacher Liu is not qualified, who in the world can be qualified?"
Jia Erhu immediately realized that Liu Guotai's original intention to find him was not to sign a contract, but because he had other things to do, otherwise he would not be eager to meet him.
"Mr. Liu," Jia Erhu asked, "Are you interested in something and want me to come forward?"
Liu Guotai immediately laughed and said: "Mr. Jia has a really sharp eye. There is a crew filming a series about the Anti-Japanese War. Their producer originally created a role for me, but who knew that the investors would disagree when they saw it was me. "
Jia Erhu asked: "I have just been involved in this circle for a short time. It can even be said that I have not entered this circle yet and I don't know anyone.
Can you tell me who to contact to solve your problem? "
Liu Guotai obviously did not have high hopes, but he said tentatively: "There are no problems with the film and television shooting side, mainly because the investor is one of our bosses in Sijiu City.
He has a strong background, and most people can't speak to him. "
Jia Erhu asked: "Can Feng Yaying be able to speak?"
Liu Guotai said: "It depends on his mood."
"Whose mood?"
"Of course it's the boss's mood."
Jia Erhu was stunned: "Is he so awesome? Then who does he listen to?"
Liu Guotai asked back: "I wonder, Mr. Jia, if he has any friends in the society of Sijiucheng?"
Jia Erhu said: "Just tell me who you are looking for?"
Liu Guotai said: "He used to be from Song Wenfeng, that is, from Brother Wen. It is said that he has gone abroad during the Cultural Revolution and it is difficult to find him.
I heard that Mr. Jia seems to know Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou calls... Of course, I am afraid of Mr. Zhou for this little thing..."
Jia Erhu asked: "What's his name?"
"Wang Han?"
"Wang Han?" Jia Erhu looked at Liu Guotai with wide eyes.
