"So...who is Zhang Zuting?"
When he saw the message from Lin Wan, Pei Qian's first reaction was confusion.
Never heard of this person?
After asking Qiandu, I found out that he was a has-been Hong Kong star.
Lin Wan continued to send a message: "Mr. Pei, we have also selected a lot of Hong Kong stars, some of which have higher asking prices, exceeding 5 million. We felt that the price/performance ratio was not high, so we chose Zhang Zuting. Although the current reputation is not as good as before, it is enough for about two million."
Pei Qian was not happy at the time.
After all the warnings and instructions, why are you still here trying to get me two to three million dollars in cost?
Five million is five million!
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. After all, the higher the asking price, the more popular the Hong Kong star is. It has its own traffic. If it really brings a large number of players, Pei Qian will lose money. That's a bit of a loss.
Two million is two million. The money saved can be spent elsewhere in other ways.
Lin Wan sent another message asking: "Mr. Pei, Zhang Zuting will arrive in Jingzhou the day after tomorrow. Do you still plan to go to the scene to watch the commercial shooting?"
Pei Qian immediately Reply: "Well, look, it's said that this guy is a veteran actor and has even won the Best Actor Award. I'll also take a close look at his acting skills."
"Wait a minute, how are your reception arrangements going? Are you ready?"
Lin Wan: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, everything has been arranged. A business car will be used to transport him and his agent, and the accommodation will be arranged in a five-star hotel, and there will be no price reduction."
"What about the catering?" Pei Qian asked.
Lin Wan: "Uh... we tentatively plan to dine in the hotel. We have ordered a high-standard work meal during the filming." It's just an ordinary cooperative relationship, but the etiquette must be in place. In this way, I will give you the number of Manager Lin of Mingyun Private Kitchen, and you can make an appointment. When Zhang Zuting comes, first go to Mingyun Private Kitchen to greet him, and then Let’s talk about the filming later.”
Pei Qian thought, business reception is a legitimate reason, and a meal at Mingyun’s private kitchen is not excessive, right?
Of course, all business receptions are received from Mingyun Private Kitchen, and there may be some risks, such as... leaks.
But Pei Qian has already thought of ways to avoid risks.
Lin Wan: "Ah, okay Mr. Pei, I didn't think it through well, I'll make a reservation right now!"
......
......
Saturday, August 14th.
Zhang Zuting got off the plane and set foot on Jingzhou City for the first time.
As a second-tier city in the mainland, Jingzhou City’s presence is not very strong, and Zhang Zuting also knows little about Jingzhou.
However, since he can get two million in one trip, he won't find it troublesome.
Zhang Zuting is over forty years old. Although he was a representative of handsome young men when he was young, it is difficult to resist the invasion of time. Now he is gradually becoming more and more handsome.I gradually polished my acting skills and transformed into a middle-aged and veteran actor.
Of course, as the film field is undergoing tremendous changes, this group of movie stars are becoming less and less popular and will inevitably become obsolete.
Therefore, it is difficult for Zhang Zuting to refuse similar opportunities to make money.
Unlike some popular celebrities and young celebrities who are cheered and cheered before going out, Zhang Zuting is relatively low-key and only brought an accompanying assistant this time.
After all, the other party said that this advertisement can be shot in one day. I will arrive in Jingzhou on the 14th, rest for one night after catching the wind, and shoot all the advertisements at once in the morning of the next day, and then I can sit down in the afternoon. The plane left.
Zhang Zuting did not have high expectations for this trip to Jingzhou.
After all, what kind of big company can a game company in a place like Jingzhou be?
This time the commercial was just a formality.
"Mr. Zhang, please get in the car. Our President Pei has prepared a reception banquet for you."
Next to the business car, Lin Wan said with a smile.
……
Mingyun Private Kitchen.
After getting off the car, Zhang Zuting was a little confused.
What does this mean? Where is this?
In front of him is a villa that looks unremarkable. Although in Zhang Zuting’s opinion, the house is very large, spacious and luxuriously decorated, he also knows that this kind of house is not very popular in the mainland. It's rare, and it's not surprising that a game company owner can afford such a house.
But the question is, why should we take advantage of the wind here?
Is it possible that the boss wants to entertain him in his own home?
Zhang Zuting was still confused, but Lin Wan had already led him inside, all the way to the private room with the best view.
The private room is on the third floor of the villa, with a large floor-to-ceiling window through which you can see the dusk scenery.
The sunset is slowly setting, and the golden sunlight shines on the infinity swimming pool outside, giving off a pale golden afterglow.
The surrounding trees on the mountainside are lush and lush. Under the cover of the trees, the entire villa area can be seen in the distance, giving a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance.
In the middle of the private room is a dining table. It is not a large dining table that can accommodate more than a dozen people, but just enough for four people.
The room is obviously carefully decorated. Whether it is the tables and chairs, the paintings decorated in the room, the napkins on the table, and the bouquets of flowers, they all match the environment very well.
This was also carefully arranged by the waiters at Mingyun Private Kitchen after making the reservation.
Zhang Zuting suddenly realized that this was not a private residence, but a unique high-end restaurant!
Pei Qian stood up to greet him and shook hands with Zhang Zuting: "Mr. Zhang, you have come from afar. Welcome! Jingzhou is a small place and there is nothing special about it. I can only treat Mr. Zhang to a casual meal. Please sit down. ."
Zhang Zuting also responded enthusiastically and sat down with his agent.
On the tableThere are only four people, Pei Qian, Lin Wan, Zhang Zuting and their manager. In addition, there are waiters coming and going, serving dishes to everyone according to a certain time and frequency.
Pei Qian wanted to find a few more people to keep him company and eat more, but it would seem chaotic if there were too many people, and there might be a depressing feeling, so Pei Qian thought about it and decided to The smaller number of people allowed Zhang Zuting to enjoy the food without any pressure.
Everyone chatted while eating.
Pei Qian doesn’t know anything about Zhang Zuting, and he doesn’t even know anything about what dramas he has acted in, but that doesn’t matter. Zhang Zuting doesn’t know what games Pei Qian has played anyway. Everyone is a business partner. Blow, don’t take it too seriously.
Fortunately, Lin Wan had done his homework, and casually chatting about Zhang Zuting’s glorious years in his youth put him in a good mood.
After taking two bites, Zhang Zuting was surprised to find that the dishes here were too rich, right?
He has also received many banquets over the years, whether it is a treat for friends or a business reception, and he has also eaten a lot of delicious food.
But it’s really rare to eat such wonderful food today!
Of course, this deliciousness comes not from various seasonings and additives, but from the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves. This is an effect that can only be achieved by using high-end ingredients.
The more Zhang Zuting ate, the more shocked he became.
I never thought that the small city of Jingzhou would have such a hidden restaurant?
This Mr. Pei treated himself to such a precious dish, he was very sincere!
Zhang Zuting is not the kind of celebrity who can act like a big star. He has always been known for being approachable. Now he and Pei Qian are eating and chatting, and the more they chat, the more enjoyable they become.
The early dishes were all small and exquisite. After eating, the waiter immediately removed them and replaced them with other dishes.
Although it is delicious, there is still something left to be desired.
But soon, the hard food came!
After tasting several exquisite appetizers, the waiter brought a huge king crab. Judging from the size, it weighed about ten kilograms. I am afraid that the price of the ingredients alone would cost six to seven thousand yuan. !
Zhang Zuting was okay, he was a man who had seen the world after all, but his assistant had obviously never seen such a battle before. His eyes were straight, and he seemed to want to take out his mobile phone and take a picture. But it felt inappropriate.
Pei Qian said with a smile: "Taste carefully so that you don't miss every trace of the deliciousness of the ingredients. Once you take a photo, the taste will change."
