Chapter 405 405, Just One Word
“But Mr. Yu, why do I have to sign two contracts?”
Fan Jiuyi is very sensitive about contracts.
A few years ago, when she was young and ignorant, she signed a contract with Qiong Yao Company in order to become famous. She signed for seven years. However, after starring in Huanzhu I and Huanzhu II and becoming a little famous, she became a cold bench in the company.
Last year, she couldn’t stand this kind of life anymore, so she asked the company to terminate the contract. However, the other party demanded 1 million RMB in liquidated damages alone…
Haha, this can be regarded as once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years! ?
"One is the performance contract for "Fast and Furious", and the other is your letter of commitment!" Yu Dong separated the two contracts, pushed them in front of Fan Jiuyi, and explained carefully:
"The performance contract is standard, you and other actors are the same, no problem!
But about this letter of commitment, I suggest you take a closer look, this is a special request from Director Sun Hao, you are the only one in the entire crew who must sign this letter of commitment!
There are many hard and fast rules involved, such as you can't take drugs, you can't be involved in gambling, you can't sleep in, and you can't make political remarks.
If you violate it, we will charge you a very high penalty."
"How high?"
Sitting next to him, Jia Yun, who had not spoken all the time, frowned at this time.
"The production cost of "Fast and Furious" is 150 million US dollars." Yu Dong said word by word.
"Ah..., you are robbing money!
No, you don't rob money like this." Fan Jiuyi stood up and wanted to leave angrily.
Last year, the 1 million RMB penalty had bankrupted my family. In the end, it was Jia Yun who helped me reach an agreement with Qiong Yao Company in private, paying 200,000 RMB to terminate the agency contract.
But now, unexpectedly, Bona Film Group, the producer of "Fast and Furious", asked for 150 million US dollars.
However, Yu Dong was calm.
He took out a cigarette, slammed it on the table, then held it in his mouth and lit it. Yu Dong took a puff and said:
"Director Sun Hao is very accurate in judging people!
He said that whether in terms of appearance, ambition, acting skills, or her own means, Miss Fan is the most likely to become an actress at the level of Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, and Judy Fortes."
"So, you added contract terms to Jiuyi?" Jia Yun also felt angry.
"There is no way, this is what Director Sun Hao specifically asked for! If you don't agree, then you can not sign this performance agreement?"
At this point, Yu Dong pointed out the window.
There is a small square outside the window. On the other side of the small square is the 18th Entertainment Agency, which is currently gaining fame in the industry.
The decoration style of 18th Entertainment Agency is similar to that of Bona Film Group. Both are equipped with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which allow people to see the situation inside the company clearly from the outside.
"Did you see it?
Those girls who are exercising in the gym of 18th Entertainment Agency are all those who were eliminated from the audition of "Fast and Furious" this time, including the female model Wang Haizhen recommended by Director Zhang Yimou.
She has a good image and temperament. At the same time, she is also Miss Fan's number one backup. If Miss Fan insists on not signing, then we can only use her."
As they were chatting, there was a knock on the door.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Come in!"
"Mr. Yu, I'm here."
The person who came in was a tall girl, 178 cm tall, with long hair and two shallow dimples when she smiled.
"Have you got your visas done?"
Yu Dong saw her and asked casually while taking something out of the drawer of his desk.
"It's done!"
"It's OK. Take it. This is the movie script of "Fast and Furious". You can read it carefully when you are free at home."
"Okay!"
The tall and beautiful girl took the movie script with both hands, and then bowed to Yu Dong to show respect.
"Jiang Wu, Deng Chao, and Sun Honglei are all learning spoken English with the English teacher next door. You can go over and practice with them now.
After this class, you can go to the 18th Entertainment Gym across the street to exercise. At least you should have some muscles on your body."
"Okay!"
The tall and beautiful girl agreed, turned around and walked out. She didn't even glance at Fan Jiuyi.
"Haha..., Ma Yanli!"
No matter whether he knew the two people in front of him or not, Yu Dong pointed at her back and introduced them:
"Aren't they going to the United States soon? They are applying for work visas now. It's a work visa, not a tourist visa. This is specifically required by the American Actors Guild..."
However, before Yu Dong finished speaking, Fan Jiuyi said with great certainty: "Mr. Yu, I will sign this letter of commitment!"
"Miss Fan, then you have to think about it carefully.
If you commit any of the above in the future, which leads to our "Fast and Furious" being banned, removed from the shelves, blocked, and the rights of the videotape cannot be claimed by any country, you must pay compensation according to the liquidated damages stipulated in the letter of commitment."
"Well, Mr. Yu, I'm very sure, I've thought about it!"

Wadi Rum Desert, "The Martian" filming base
After fighting all night last night, the crew and cast members had a hasty breakfast and went back to their bubble tents to rest and sleep.
Even the energetic Prince Hamdan and Qin Long were no exception.
In the filming base, the only people working under the sun were probably the bodyguards brought by Hamdan. They were wearing white ethnic costumes and holding black AK47s in their hands, looking very powerful and domineering.
After a month of getting along, these people had already become familiar with Sun Hao. Therefore, several guys who spoke fluent English saw that Sun Hao was still standing outside the bubble tent, and there was a guy opposite who looked like a bad guy, so they smiled and greeted him not far away.
"Hi, Sun, do you need help?"
"No, thank you, the guy opposite is my friend."
"Okay, just call me when you need help!"
………
Liu Han actually knew a little English. After all, he was a college graduate. Otherwise, he would not dare to come to Jordan alone. He was unfamiliar with the place and could not speak Arabic. He would probably starve to death even if he had money!
Therefore, facing Sun Hao's toughness, Liu Han did not "fight violence with violence" like in China. If you cut me once, I will cut you twice!
Instead, he threatened in a very smart whisper:
"Director Sun Hao, you have to go back to China, right? Because you are Chinese!
But do you know who is behind me? I'll tell you straight, his last name is Zhou, and his father is..."
However, before the old man finished speaking, Sun Hao patted him on the shoulder and laughed.
"Brother Liu, although I don't know who is behind you, but I know your final outcome, just one word, death!"
"Sun Hao, you..."
Liu Han, who was furious, couldn't bear it anymore at this time, clenched his fist, and was about to hit Sun Hao in the face.
I have lived for more than 30 years, and you are the first person who dares to threaten me nakedly. Even if I am shot into a hornet's nest, I will beat you up.
But, just as he threw a punch, he was grabbed by Sun Hao's wrist.
"Brother Liu, don't get excited. You are an educated person after all. Listen to me.
Do you know Hu Xueyan, the red-topped businessman in the late Qing Dynasty?
Do you know why his family was exterminated and his property was destroyed in the end? If you don't know, I suggest you study him carefully.
Well, and the person Hu Xueyan relied on was Zuo Zongtang, and you, hehe..."
Sun Hao smiled and shook his head, then put down his hand.
