48, repay debts
"Mr. Wang, if you say that I can hire Wang Baoqiang to help me make a movie without paying a penny, do you believe it?"
After hearing this, Wang Zonglei immediately wanted to jump on his feet and yell, "Who are you? Do you really think that Hua Yi, who I am, is doing charity?"
But before the words came out of his mouth, he saw Li Xue who had already picked up the crumpled paper and looked at it, and said softly "Eh".
"Eh..."
"What's the matter, Xiaoxue?"
"Mr. Wang, look!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xue immediately handed over the piece of paper.
[Two egg pancakes, three pieces
Big brother doesn't charge money.
I want to do a job for him for free.
Wang Baoqiang
1999.5.13】
There were crooked words written on the crumpled paper. There were several words among them. It took Wang Zonglei to read them carefully for a long time before he realized what was written on them, especially the word "fei".
Um…
After Wang Zonglei finished reading, he frowned slightly, then shook the piece of paper and said, "Xiao Yang, what do you mean?
Do you think that just because of this, my artist Bao Qiang will help you make a movie for free?"
"About that?"
"Ha ha…"
As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, Wang Zonglei burst into laughter.
"Yang Hao..."
"Um?"
"Do you know what you remind me of now?"
"Bao Longxing in "The Nine-Rank Sesame Official"!" Yang Hao said with a faint smile.
"clever!
You today really remind me of Bao Longxing in the movie "Nine Levels of Sesame Official".
I don’t care whether you were kind to Wang Baoqiang or your father was kind to Wang Baoqiang. Since you came with the note and I read it, it should be Bao Qiang’s handwriting on it.
So, I decided to ask the secretary to go out and buy a cart of egg pancakes for you now, and let you finish eating before leaving..."
However, before Wang Zonglei finished his teasing words, Yang Hao stood up and said slowly:
"Since 1996, my father Yang Chun has been selling snacks near the Beijing Film Studio. Although his skills are not very good, the people who buy his food are basically the extras who guard the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio. Everyone basically
It doesn't matter what the taste is, as long as it fills your stomach.
And it was at that time that he met Wang Baoqiang.
Before he became famous, Wang Baoqiang just came out of the Shaolin Temple and worked as an extra at the gate of the Beijing Film Studio. When he was tired, he would go to a tree branch to take a nap. When he was hungry, he would spend two yuan on the cheapest meal.
When there was really no money, he would go to the construction site to carry bricks, and go to the Beiying Community to help the old man and old lady clean the windows...
My dad is kind-hearted. When he meets extras who are hungry and have no money, he will always give them two egg pancakes to eat without charging them.
And Wang Baoqiang is among them.
Of course, Wang Baoqiang is different from others. After eating the egg pancakes made by my father, he will always help clean up and so on."
"Then...where did this note come from?" Li Xue asked curiously.
"My dad's egg pancake stall is just a stove on a tricycle. How can it be so hygienic and easy to clean?
So sometimes, when I ate my dad’s free egg pancakes but couldn’t work to pay off the debt, Bao Qiang, an honest boy, would seriously write this kind of IOU to my dad.”
"So, today, you came to Wang Baoqiang to pay off your debt?" Li Xue asked.
"Mr. Li, it doesn't count as repaying the debt." At this time, Yang Hao smiled lightly and said:
"Because of the movie "Unfortunately", I will pay Wang Baoqiang completely according to the market price.
Of course, I am talking about accurate market conditions, not the 7 million yuan that Mr. Wang made so boldly."
"Then..., what if we don't want to?" After listening to Yang Hao's story, Wang Zonglei looked gloomy and tore up the special IOU in three strokes.
"If you don't want to..., if you don't want to, then I have no choice.
I will upload this matter to the Internet. A popular male star under Huayi refuses to pay off his debts with the support of his second boss."
"Ha ha…"
As soon as Yang Hao told what he did, Wang Zonglei laughed loudly.
"Yang Hao, where's the evidence?
If you want to frame us, you have to have evidence!"
"Oh, so it turns out that Mr. Wang wants evidence?"
Yang Hao, who pretended to be suddenly enlightened, took out another crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
"Mr. Wang, are you still tearing it up? The content is the same."
"Well…"
"Oh, by the way, do I still have it in my pocket?"
While talking, Yang Hao took out a large pile of crumpled paper from another pocket.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, in order to prove that I am not lying, you can call Wang Baoqiang now and ask him if he has this matter?
Second, all these [IOUs] support your handwriting appraisal."
"Well…"
………………
Wang Laoer walked away angrily.
Li Xue was left behind, covering her mouth and smiling softly. This was the first time in many years that she saw Xiao Wang always being treated submissively by a young man.
Of course, this is mainly due to Yang Hao's good timing.
In two weeks, Huayi will be listed on the market. Wang Laoer dare not make waves at this important moment. What's more, Yang Hao has no intention of treating Huayi Entertainment and Bao Qiang badly.
Not only will the film be paid according to the market price, but a deeply emotional scene will also be filmed and uploaded to Youku video for the majority of netizens to watch (Wang Baoqiang, a popular actor for his role in "Soldier Assault", committed suicide in order to repay the favor of having a meal that year.
Reduced salary to star in the movie "On the Road".)
After Wang Zonglei left, the assistant went upstairs.
The assistant's task upstairs was to print out the agreement between Huayi Agency and Fei Ni Shao Film Studio.
Li Xue took out her cell phone and called Wang Baoqiang, who lived nearby, telling him to come over quickly, and then sat down opposite Yang Hao with a smile on her face.
"Yang Hao..."
"Um?"
"Your dad is really a caring person."
"How to say it?"
"My noodle shop has been open for several years. He still keeps the IOU from when he sold egg pancakes in front of the Beijing Film Studio."
Well, how should I put it?
Yes, there is indeed such a thing!
Back then, Wang Baoqiang did eat other people's egg pancakes at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio, and he did write similar IOUs to others, but the person selling the egg pancakes was not Yang Chun.
The reason why Yang Hao knows this is because he had a good relationship with Wang Baoqiang in his previous life, and they often drank and chatted together.
He said that after he became famous after starring in "A World Without Thieves", he often went to the entrance of Beijing Film Studio to see if he could repay the "debt" he owed before.
But over the past few years or more than ten years, things have changed at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio. Many of the big guys who sold snacks in the past have long since disappeared, so there is no way to pay back some debts.
As for those IOUs just now, they were actually written by Yang Hao using AI to imitate Wang Baoqiang's handwriting. Even if they were to be appraised, Wang Baoqiang would not be able to argue with them.
"Yang Hao..., Yang Hao..."
Just as Yang Hao was thinking about it, Li Xue gently pushed his arm twice.
"Oh... Mr. Li, tell me!"
"A few days ago, the news that you have schizophrenia went viral on the Internet. Did you act it out?"
"Why do you ask this?" Yang Hao asked.
"Nothing!
I just want to inform you in advance that if your schizophrenia is caused by acting, after the failure of the crowdfunding movie "On the Road", I will go all out to sign you!"
"Then..., what if the movie is successful?" Yang Hao smiled.
"Haha..." Li Xue chuckled twice, and then patted the stack of newspapers that she had brought over.
Chapter completed!
