"Uncle Ma!"
Ma Rong really came down the stairs. A middle-aged man who happened to pass by greeted him warmly: "where are you going? Have you had dinner?"
Ma Rongzhen nodded and said, "there's a party in the evening. We'll go there now."
"It must be in a high-end hotel!"
The middle-aged man said in a rather exaggerated tone: "you are a big star now. You can't stay here for a few days? You must stay in a hotel every day in the future. Grandma has some blessings!"
Ma Rong really smiled faintly and didn't answer each other's words.
The other side is his neighbor. He doesn't have much contact. He just nods at most when he meets, and Ma Rong really knows that he secretly despises him - the former him.
Since Ma Rongzhen's "ghost of a beautiful girl" was released on Hong Kong Island and sold at the box office, as the actor of Yan Chixia, an important figure in the film, his fame and popularity have increased sharply.
Some reporters interviewed him, others called him to make a film, and those who came to his door to be his agent
Ma Rongzhen's rented house in Tianshui Wai suddenly became crowded. Then his neighbors, whether they knew him or not, greeted him with a smile and warmly greeted him.
In the past, many neighbors knew Ma Rongzhen, but few had such a friendly and enthusiastic attitude.
Usually, when people talk about him, they say that his wife cheated, her career was ruined, and she was extremely down and out. Only she was ridiculed.
Now he turned over the salted fish and everything became different.
It's nothing more than that.
After prosperity, vanity and exile, Ma Rongzhen has long been bearish, so he didn't lose his mind.
With a few polite words, he turned and prepared to leave.
This evening, Lu Chen studio and Jiayang film held a celebration party at Shangri La Hotel to celebrate that the box office of the ghost of a beautiful girl exceeded 50 million. Ma Rongzhen must attend.
At this time, a black Mercedes stopped steadily beside him.
Ma Rong was surprised.
Tianshui Wai, where he rented, is a civilian area of Xiangjiang River. The urban construction and environment can not be compared with the prosperous commercial area. There are private houses everywhere, sewage flows across the narrow streets and garbage everywhere.
A luxury Mercedes Benz worth millions appears here, which is almost like winning a prize.
The next moment, the window of the back seat of the Mercedes Benz came down and a fat head stuck out.
"Brother Ma!"
Ma Rongzhen was stunned immediately. He looked carefully and recognized the other party: "boss Gao?"
Ma Rongzhen has been on the road for decades. He also had a good time in those years. There are many people in and out of the circle. Although there is no contact after jumping into the street, his memory is not missing.
The boss Gao Hongde is the boss of Gaosheng film. Now he has changed his name to the boss of Gaosheng entertainment. He is a figure of considerable status in the film and television entertainment circle, with a smooth and shrewd character.
Ma Rongzhen had previously made a film produced by Gaosheng film industry, and the box office was OK. Therefore, he made some friends with Gao Hongde, but later when he was down, he wanted to ask Gao Hongde for help, but he was rejected by the other party.
Now seeing Gao Hongde again, Ma Rongzhen can't help recalling his past and is a little distracted.
Gao Hongde opened the door and walked down. Smiling, he reached out and patted Ma Rongzhen on the shoulder. He said in the tone of an old friend, "haven't we met for more than ten years? I didn't expect you to remember me."
Ma Rongzhen was woken up by Gao Hongde's slap. With a faint smile, he said, "it's been ten years."
He was really filled with emotion.
If they were narrow-minded people and had such an experience as Ma Rongzhen, they would certainly not have a good face for Gao Hongde. They might even have to make a few sarcastic remarks to vent their resentment of being rejected in those years.
However, Ma Rongzhen had no prejudice against Gao Hongde. At that time, many people rejected him. Most of the reasons were his own, and he could not complain about heaven and others.
Of course, Ma Rongzhen will not regard Gao Hongde as a friend. He is just curious about each other's intentions.
"Boss Gao, what can I do for you?"
Gao Hongde said, "are you going to Shangri La to attend the celebration party in the evening? I happen to drop you off. How about a few words by the way?"
Stop by? Ma Rong really had a feeling of neither laughing nor crying, but he didn't refuse: "it's boss Gao."
In fact, Gao Hongde's intention has been guessed.
They got on the bus together, the Mercedes Benz restarted and slowly drove out of the narrow streets.
The middle-aged neighbor looked at the distant luxury car with great envy and opened his mouth to spit on the ground.
Ma Rong was so miserable that he couldn't afford to eat meat. Who could have thought of it?
In the car, Gao Hongde looked out through the window and said, "brother Ma, you've been wronged all these years. Now you can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon. How can you still live here?"
Ma Rongzhen smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Ma Rong really didn't fit in, Gao Hongde simply said bluntly, "brother Ma, the salary given to you by LuChen studio is not high? I have a film that will start shooting soon. How about you help me? It's easy to say the salary!"
As expected!
Ma Rongzhen didn't have any accidents, and Gao Hongde was not the first to ask him to make a film. The popularity of the ghost of a beautiful woman turned his old salted fish over completely, and all kinds of invitations poured in.
After thinking about it, Ma Rong said sincerely, "boss Gao, I can't reply to you right now. Why don't we make an appointment to have a good talk? What do you think?"
This is the tact and sophistication of Ma Rong. He doesn't care about the gratitude and resentment of that year, nor will he sell himself in a few words. It's most appropriate to let the agent talk about the film remuneration.
A wise agent can ensure the interests of artists to the greatest extent.
Although Ma Rongzhen has no agent now, it is not difficult to hire a reliable one with his current reputation.
Another reason why Ma Rong really doesn't want to promise rashly is that he doesn't know whether Lu Chen needs himself. If Lu Chen has a new film for him to shoot, he is willing to do it even if he doesn't have a penny!
It is because I am used to seeing the cold and warm in the world and the hot and cold in the world that I understand the difficulty of delivering charcoal in the snow.
Gao Hongde also didn't expect a few words to deal with Ma Rongzhen, but since the latter didn't refuse on the spot, it means that there is a possibility of cooperation, which is nothing more than the price.
As long as the ticket price is worth it, boss Gao is not afraid to spend money. He smiled and promised, "no problem!"
They talked and laughed and talked about the anecdotes in the circle, as if they really looked like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
The Mercedes Benz drove out of the streets into the main road and immediately joined the rolling traffic.
The lights of the Xiangjiang River shrouded in night are blurred.
