Dreams of the Fragrant River

Zhou Xingchi has saved more than 300,000 yuan from being a host on Phoenix TV until he starred in a TV series and two best-selling movies. {First episode} But now Zhou Xingchi's family still lives in the old house, he plans to save another year's money to buy a house for management, and buy a car for himself by the way.

Zhou Xingchi's personality is relatively withdrawn. When he is a host, he can talk and talk. When he is out of work, he is taciturn. After several years, he has made two friends, Mao Shunyun and Wu Mengda.

If it wasn't for Wu Mengda forcibly pulling him out to play cards today, Zhou Xingchi would definitely stay at home and watch TV by himself. He felt that he was not familiar with Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, and there was really nothing to communicate with.

After playing cards for a few hours, seeing that it was getting dark, Anita Mui left them at home for dinner, but Zhou Xingchi insisted on going back.

Wu Mengda had no choice but to drive Zhou Xingchi home. Tomorrow will be the New Year's Day, so it's not easy to take a taxi at this time.

Zhou Xingchi's family only has his mother, one elder sister and one younger sister. As for his father, his parents divorced after Zhou Xingchi said a word when he was a child. At that time, Zhou Xingchi said to his mother, "I saw my father holding a woman in the cinema..."

"Xing, a gentleman is looking for you. He has been waiting at home for a long time." As soon as Zhou Xingchi returned home, he heard his mother Ling Bao say.

Zhou Xingchi got a little headache from the reporter during this time, and said in a low voice, "Mom, why did you let people into the house?"

Ling Bao helped Zhou Xingchi get the slippers out, pointed to the living room and said, "It's from Jiahe Films, he seems to be a big man."

What are the people from Jiahe going to do?

Zhou Xingchi did not think that Jiahe was here to poach people, because the liquidated damages for poaching him were so high that even Zhou Xingchi felt that he was not worth the price.

Cai Yongchang is sitting in the living room drinking tea, and from time to time he tells Zhou Xingchi's younger sister some stories from the film industry. As for Zhou Xingchi's sister, she is already married.

Seeing Zhou Xingchi coming in, Cai Yongchang stood up and shook hands with Zhou Xingchi and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Who are you?" Zhou Xingchi didn't know who Cai Yongchang was.

"My lord, Jiahe Cai Yongchang." Cai Yongchang handed him a business card.

Zhou Xingchi took a look at the business card, put it in his pocket, and asked, "Is there anything Mr. Cai is looking for from me?"

Cai Yongchang smiled and said, "That's it. Our chairman appreciates your talent, Mr. Zhou, so let me visit."

Most of the withdrawn people are more sensitive. Zhou Xingchi is like this. He never played with his friends when he was a child.

Cai Yongchang only mentioned it a little, and Zhou Xingchi heard that the other party wanted to recruit him, and said in surprise: "Mr. Cai, my contract has more than nine years left."

"Liquidated damages are not a problem, we Jiahe will naturally find a way." Cai Yongchang directly took out a check. said. "As long as Mr. Zhou comes to Golden Harvest for development, the 3 million will be yours. To be honest, since DreamWorks was banned, actors like Zhou Xingchi will have no future if they stay there. Except for DreamWorks, no one will invite You make movies. Just by taking it with you in DreamWorks, how many movies can you make a year? Two movies at most are enough, and some of DreamWorks’ resources should be reserved for other actors, which is very detrimental to your development. …”

Cai Yongchang's eloquence is indeed good, but he relied on money offensive to dig Cheng Long back then. Cheng Long was just an actor who had never seen the world at the time. He fainted with a string of zero cheques, and he couldn't count for a long time. (Cheng Long only got 1 million at that time, and the rest was taken by Luo Wei as redemption money)

Zhou Xingchi was a little dizzy when he saw the string of zeros on the check. His hands began to tremble, and there was an urge to take the check next.

3 million, what luxury houses and luxury cars are available.

Calm down, keep calm!

Zhou Xingchi took a few deep breaths, gulped his saliva and glanced at the check again. Resisting the urge to ask: "Mr. Cai, I'm not so old, why did you find me?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou still underestimates himself," Cai Yongchang said with a smile, "There are very few movies with a box office of over 30 million in Hong Kong. Judging from the current situation of "The Gambler", the box office will definitely exceed 30 million. It’s a pity for an actor like you to stay in DreamWorks and get banned, if you come to Golden Harvest, you will earn at least twice as much as DreamWorks every year.”

Zhou Xingchi must be grateful to Kang Jianfei. Kang Jianfei promoted him all the way to be a host and a TV actor, and now he has finally become a movie star. But apart from being grateful, Zhou Xingchi has little loyalty to Kang Jianfei and DreamWorks. 3 million is enough to move his heart.

Carefully weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xingchi's mind became more and more confused, while Cai Yongchang was beside him from time to time to encourage him to change jobs.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xingchi, who felt his mouth was dry, took a sip of water and said hesitantly, "This, let's talk to DreamWorks first and see if they will let you go."

Zhou Xingchi signed a brokerage contract with the Oriental Entertainment Company. Compared with later generations, many of the contents of this brokerage contract are actually equivalent to the overlord clause. Within ten years, Oriental Entertainment Company will be responsible for the packaging and promotion of Zhou Xingchi. Zhou Xingchi's desire to make movies, release records, and receive announcements will all be handled by Oriental Entertainment Company.

This is the brokerage contract of the little actor. If you love to sign it or not, get out, there are countless people waiting to sign this kind of prostitution contract. As for artists such as Alan Tam and Zheng Shaoqiu, who are already famous for their skills, their brokerage contracts are much more free, so they are so unrestrained when they terminate their contracts.

In addition to the brokerage contract, Zhou Xingchi also signed a ten-year movie contract with DreamWorks. The rights and obligations of both parties are that Zhou Xingchi will shoot at least one movie at DreamWorks every year. There are also pitfalls in this contract, because the final interpretation right lies with DreamWorks. If Zhou Xingchi has no box office value, then DreamWorks has fulfilled its obligation by letting him play a supporting role casually, and if Zhou Xingchi becomes popular, then Zhou Xingchi must be the protagonist to make a movie for DreamWorks.

Anyway, the contract is all dirty and black, all of which are made by the lawyers of the legal department of DreamWorks, and the young actor does not have any right to raise objections when signing the contract, you can only choose to sign or not sign.

Zhou Xingchi was trapped by two overlord contracts with nine years remaining. If he wanted to jump to any company, his liquidated damages would add up to more than 10 million, which is definitely a sky-high price.

I have to say that Kang Jianfei's heart is still very dark. He who has already become famous can't control it. If he wants to betray the stars he has cultivated, he must pay the corresponding price.

Not to mention Zhou Xingchi, even Wen Bixia's current contract is this, because it hasn't been changed since it was signed.

Seeing that Zhou Xingchi was tempted by what he said, Cai Yongchang continued to persuade: "Mr. Zhou, if you want to terminate the contract with DreamWorks, you must agree to this before we can arrange lawyers and do the rest of the work. If you don't trust us, You can accept this check first."

Zhou Xingchi's personality is very cautious, and finally resisted the temptation of 3 million huge sums of money, and smiled reluctantly: "Mr. Cai, I will consider this matter first."

Cai Yongchang smiled and said: "Of course, Mr. Zhou has a lot of time to think carefully before the end of the Spring Festival holiday."

After Cai Yongchang left, Zhou Xingchi walked around the room anxiously, and Zhou's mother didn't respond when he called him to eat.

After worrying for more than three hours, Zhou Xingchi called Wu Mengda.

"Hey, who is it so late?"

"Brother Da, it's me, A Xing."

"What's the matter? It's a little early for the New Year's greetings. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Brother Da, I have something I want to ask you."

"What are you polite to me, tell me something."

"If, I mean, if someone comes to dig me with 3 million, what do you think I should do?"

"Whoever is crazy will dig you, two contracts of more than 10 million."

"I mean if."

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, and then Wu Mengda's voice came: "Is someone really poaching you? Jiahe or Xinyicheng?"

"Hey, don't ask so many questions, do you think I should leave?" Zhou Xingchi said irritably.

"The Saint of Gamblers" also made Wu Mengda popular. He felt that he and Zhou Xingchi were suitable for acting, but he didn't want to lose a good partner. Naturally, he had to work hard to keep him. He said, "You have a sick mind. Will Mr. Kang let people go?"

Zhou Xingchi said: "If I have to leave, Mr. Kang has no choice. If I go to court, someone will help me pay liquidated damages."

"Mr. Kang will sue you in court? He will directly ask someone to hack you to death!" Wu Mengda began to threaten, "He has praised you for two consecutive movies, where will he put his face when you leave? Mr. Kang has money and doesn't care about you. That more than 10 million liquidated damages, but you will be treated as a villain for the rest of your life~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you leave at this time, you will be looked down upon by any company you go to."

Zhou Xingchi said, "I live my life, I don't need anyone to look down on it."

Wu Mengda laughed and said: "If you go to Jiahe or Xinyi City, I am 100% sure that if Mr. Kang doesn't find someone to hack you to death, he will use all means to make your reputation stinky. As long as you can bear it, Feel free to jump ship."

Zhou Xingchi seemed really frightened, holding the microphone for a long time without speaking.

Wu Mengda continued: "Besides, when you go to another company, which director can tailor a nonsensical comedy for you like Mr. Kang? Don't take "The Saint of Gamblers" as a credit for you alone. Think about it. Think about it, I'll hang up first."

Zhou Xingchi was even more confused as he held the phone, not knowing what to do.

On the other hand, Wu Mengda quickly called Zeng Bolin and said, "Assistant Zeng, someone wants to dig Axing... Yes, I don't know which company it is. Axing is a little excited, but he hasn't made up his mind yet. Well, I will stabilize him, don't worry..."
