My Entertainment Circle

Pang Di introduced Zhang Pingan to the artists from the same company. Zhang Pingan offered coffee and shook hands with them each time he introduced them. After introducing the actors and actresses, Zhang Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "Your company's investment accounts for a large proportion of this drama, right? How come all the actors introduced are from your company?"

Li Xirui, Wang Yifei, the male lead, the male second, are all from their company, which means that the main roles of this drama are all consumed by the people from Jiaxing.

Pang Di took a sip of the coffee Zhang Pingan handed to him and said to him with a smile, "Investment proportion? How can we actors know this? Anyway, the company arranges us to shoot, and we actors are responsible for playing our roles well."

Indeed, actors only need to do their own jobs well. As for the investment proportion, these are still far away from them. Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Using artists from your own company... will your pay be a 'friendship price'? On weekdays, when you go out to take TV dramas, your company will think of raising your pay infinitely, and when you star in the TV dramas you invest in, your pay will be infinitely lowered."

Just after Zhang Pingan said that in a joking way, Wang Yifei's agent who was sitting next to him responded to Zhang Pingan's question: "Because this time the actors have the opportunity to use all the people from our own company, and they can take all the main roles at once, so the pay must be a little worse. After all, we need to give an explanation to other investors."

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Well, actually I was just joking. After all, the film invested by our own company must be offered a 'friendship price'." After responding to the agent, Zhang Pingan turned to look at Pang Di and asked, "When will your filming end this time?"

Pang Di smiled and responded, "Soon, it's already the last few episodes."

"How many episodes are there in total this time?" After saying that, Zhang Pingan took a sip of his American coffee.

"46 episodes." Wang Yifei said to Zhang Pingan.

Zhang Pingan smiled and shook his head and said, "Sure enough, Chinese TV dramas are like this. The plot is just like this. This drama was only 16 episodes in Korea, but the adaptation rights were obtained in China and it has 46 episodes? How much water is added? It's really difficult for the screenwriter! I invested in a TV series in Japan, and it only has ten episodes!"

Pang Di was very surprised to hear that Zhang Pingan invested in a TV series in Japan. She looked at Zhang Pingan with her big eyes and said, "You also invested in a TV series in Japan?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Well, I invested in a comic book adaptation. When I first saw the comic, I thought the content was very novel, so I invested in the adaptation of the TV series."

Because everyone present was an actor, they were very sensitive to the content of the script. So Pang Di asked curiously, "What kind of story is this?"

Zhang Pingan simply said, "Japan and South Korea both have workplace problems for women. We have done a good job in gender equality in our country, but Japanese and Korean companies rarely hire women when they officially recruit. Because the workplaces in these two countries feel that after hiring female employees, the work they leave behind during their one-month maternity leave will create a workload burden for the people in the same group. It is obvious that there are four people in a group, but only three people are left to do the work during the maternity leave. And when the children grow up and start to enter kindergarten, women will also affect their work in terms of taking care of the children, so their workplaces are not friendly to women. This is about the story."

After Zhang Pingan asked this question, they continued to talk: "When Japanese and Korean families have grandchildren, don't the parents at home help take care of the children?"

Zhang Pingan turned his head and looked at Wang Yifei and said, "In South Korea and Japan, large companies are all in first-tier cities. If you don't want to join a large company and only stay in your local area to develop, then your family can help take care of them. . But most young people will look for opportunities in first-tier cities.

Are you going to send your children back to your hometown? ? So even if the parents in your hometown want to help, they can't. "

Li Xirui said: "Then just call your family to help take care of the children. "

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "People in the workplace don't have such good conditions. Especially those in the workplace from second- and third-tier cities, they originally rent houses or buy houses with loans.. If you call your family, are you willing to live with your parents-in-law? If you don't want to live together, you have to solve the problem of accommodation for your parents-in-law. People in the workplace are under a lot of pressure. They don't make as much money as you do. Even if you are a newcomer, you can make 200,000 or 300,000 yuan for a drama, right? "

Li Xirui said: "Even if our salary is 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, we can only earn it when we have a film contract. Sometimes we don't have a film contract for half a year. "

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "There is nothing to discuss about this issue. "

"The coffee is not good this time. "I don't know if it is to resolve the embarrassment or something, Pang Di said this.

Zhang Pingan looked at the Starbucks in his hand and smiled: "Coffee is ground from beans, and soy milk is also ground from beans. Americans like to have a cup of coffee in the morning, and we Chinese like to have a cup of soy milk in the morning. Why is coffee dozens of times more expensive than soy milk? Is this capital harvesting IQ tax?"

Zhang Pingan suddenly said this, which made the woman next to him laugh: "Pfft~~Hahaha~~! Brother An, your question is a bit tricky."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "This issue is more worthy of our discussion, isn't it? What is IQ tax? The most typical one is a luxury product sought after by people with a little money! The same printed T-shirt, the same workmanship, the same pure It’s made of cotton, and it costs thousands of dollars just to have a luxury logo printed on the chest? There are no famous brands in the world, but capital created the concept of famous products specifically to harvest the money of those who yearn for a noble life!”

Wang Yifei said: "But for you, luxury goods, luxury?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "To me, it's just ordinary products that I wear on weekdays? I don't think these are any luxury, but for ordinary people, they are luxury. So now I have discovered a truth, in fact, the real It’s often the poor who can spend so much money! No matter what the ‘Double Eleven’ discounts are, as long as you don’t buy them, you can save 100% immediately!”

Zhang Pingan's last sentence will be an Internet joke in the future, but it sounded super fresh to them at this time, so all the women present burst into laughter: "Hahaha~~Yes, as long as you don't buy it, you will save 100%!"

........

Zhang Pingan came to visit the class and made the girls laugh. When they met Zhang Pingan for the first time, they discovered that Zhang Pingan was such a humorous person. Of course, all this is because Zhang Pingan is rich, so what he said about "saving 100%" is a kind of humor. What if you try it with an ordinary person? If you save 100% and say it out loud, you will probably get a blank stare! Those who order directly may even mutter, "If you can't afford it, don't compare!"

Zhang Pingan sat with them in the rest area for ten minutes and then stood up. Pang Di escorted Zhang Pingan out of the set. She accompanied him with a smile: "You were in front of my 'colleagues' just now. Very brilliant performance."

Seeing Fat Di looking a little jealous, Zhang Pingan wanted to reach out and pinch her bun face, but considering that they both wore makeup, if she pinched her, she would have to touch up her makeup when she went back. So Zhang Pingan just patted her back twice to show comfort: "Because I show my brilliance, they will think you are capable. At least they all know one thing now, I am here for you. ”

"Hmph~ Tonight may end early. Do you want to come to our hotel?"

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "I will go to your hotel to prepare a room in a moment."

Fatty smiled lightly and asked, "Are you coming back this time to wait for the new movie to start filming?"

"No, I won't be in charge of it after the investment in the TV series is finalized. I'm coming back this time mainly to discuss future cooperation with the network platform. I plan to produce variety shows in China."

"Oh? Aren't you going overseas after coming back this time? You just said you invested in a TV series in Japan."

Zhang Ping'an said: "I can be the general supervisor. For specific shooting, I may lead two episodes... and then hand it over to the on-site director. China needs to train some variety show crews to meet this market."

While chatting, the two came to the car. At this time, Fatty turned around and looked at Zhang Pingan and said, "When the time comes, remember to arrange for me to participate in your program."

"That's for sure. I will definitely take care of our Fatty first. Okay, go back and get ready. I see that you have almost set up the scene. Let's talk again in the evening when we go back to the hotel."

Fatty nodded and said, "Well, I'll go back to work first, and be careful when driving." Although he really wanted to kiss goodbye or hug him or something, who knows if there are gossip reporters squatting around this set. China also has a professional paparazzi team.

Zhang Ping'an nodded and looked at Fatty looking back every three steps. He stood by the car and smiled before opening the door and getting in the car. And it’s not like we’re leaving, we’ll meet tonight.

Zhang Pingan drove directly to a quiet members-only restaurant. Today at noon, Zhang’s mother called Zhang Ping’an to make an appointment for dinner!

On the outskirts of the city, there was a garden-shaped restaurant. Zhang Pingan, led by the waiter, walked through the courtyard with small bridges and flowing water to the restaurant. This is a room located by the pool. When I opened the private room door, I saw Zhang's mother sitting in her seat and looking at the documents in her hands. After Zhang Pingan came in, she looked up at him and then closed her hands. The files in...
