Gu Moru held her heart like Xizi, pretending to be sad: "You were born before I was born, and I was born when you were old. Everything is fate, and we have no control over it. I am destined not to be able to fly with my elder brother in this life, it's all fate!"
"If you continue to disgust me like this, I, your brother, know a little bit about martial arts. Then I'll use my monkey-stealing-peaches trick, and your family's incense might be cut off."
After Zhang Jiakang finished speaking, he squinted his eyes towards Gu Mo's fatal weakness. His right hand made the shape of an eagle's claw, swinging back and forth.
Gu Mo was so scared that he crossed his arms, protecting the area three inches below his belly button, and begged for mercy: "Brother, I know I was wrong."
Next, the two of them joked for a while.
Then, Gu Mo's expression became serious.
He was going to get down to business.
“I’m very grateful to my elder brother and his wife for being willing to star in my music video.
Although it's just a guest appearance and we haven't discussed the specific remuneration, I don't want to take advantage of you two for no reason.
As an artist in the circle, I am very clear about the value of these three words "Zhang Jiakang".
Every word is worth a thousand gold!"
Zhang Jiakang immediately interrupted: "Look at what you said. If I were a foreigner, wouldn't I make a fortune by making an extra-long name of dozens of characters?"
"Hey, big brother, please listen to me first." Gu Mo was interrupted by him, and all the thoughts he had prepared were interrupted.
Then he thought for a moment and continued, "Brother rarely participates in commercial performances, but based on Ren Ya's commercial performance price, your conservative estimate is over several million.
The main reason is that no one as famous as you has ever filmed a song MV.
I can't find any reference examples.
All I can say is that the potential benefits are enormous.”
This was the first time for a big-name actor, and the hype was worth a fortune. It could conservatively earn Gu Mo hundreds of millions in profit.
How generous!
“After I performed a song on the show, several music platforms approached me seeking collaboration.
My idea is to shoot the MV first and then talk about putting it on the shelves, so as to maximize the benefits.
Now that the MV for "Not That Simple" has been filmed, I will also negotiate with the music platform. By then, there is a high probability that they will use your name to seek more benefits for me.
I think, after I get the money from the music platform, I will give you two compensation corresponding to the value..."
Before Gu Mo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Jiakang.
"No, I don't care about this little money. If I hate you, I won't be happy to shoot it even if you give me 100 million.
As for my commercial value, I know it well.
The reason why many people ask me to make movies is not only because of my box office appeal, but also because I have successful cases.
I have never filmed a music video, so naturally I don’t have any successful cases.
I was thinking that if your work becomes more popular because of my participation, it will only indirectly prove that my value is higher.
Maybe my actions this time can be regarded as creating a new way for me to make money."
"Brother, you can just lie to outsiders, but is it necessary to lie to me? Even if making music videos is a good way to make money, you won't be able to do it again in the future."
Gu Mo didn't expect Zhang Jiakang to say such outrageous words in order to reassure him.
Making money from music videos? That’s not a very popular thing.
Even if Zhang Jiakang is willing to shoot, his behind-the-scenes team will not allow it, as it will seriously damage the commercial value of the movie emperor.
"I'd love to be in your music video, so stop talking nonsense. If you keep on talking, I'll punch you in the face!"
He Jiaqian also expressed her personal opinion at the right time: "Your brother and I have the same idea. We are friends, so let's not talk about money. It's too vulgar.
After all, the song you composed for us is priceless, so we can be considered as helping each other."
Gu Mo thought about it and felt that there was no need to worry about this.
"Okay, I won't be so hypocritical anymore. If you need me in the future, just let me know!"
Personally, he really doesn't like to be shy and prefers to be straightforward.
But the problem is, others can refuse it, but he can't not mention it. It's impossible to take other people's kindness for granted, right?
That is the behavior of a mean-spirited person who forgets his principles for the sake of profit.
"Hey, that's right. There's no need for us two brothers to argue too much."
…
After talking about the "film pay", Gu Mo also took the initiative to talk about the guest appearance in Zhang Jiakang's new movie.
"Brother, when will you shoot your movie?"
“It’s almost time, after recording the fourth episode, I’ll be ready to join the crew.
When the time comes, don't let me down with your acting skills. After all, there are countless actors in the industry who want to play the male lead's youth."
Without waiting for Gu Mo's answer, Zhang Jiakang made a big move: "Also, your sister-in-law and I will be joining the crew at the same time, so there is a high probability that we will withdraw from this variety show."
"Ah?" Gu Mo was completely unprepared.
Because he knew that Mango TV had spent a lot of money to have Zhang Jiakang participate in this variety show. So the higher the salary, the corresponding liquidated damages would also be extremely high.
"Brother, if you quit now, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Not only would you be working for Mango for nothing, but you would also have to pay liquidated damages."
Zhang Jiakang said indifferently: "I came to participate in this variety show for your sister-in-law. Now that I have reconciled with your sister-in-law, there is no point in continuing to film.
It’s impossible for someone who is about to remarry to continue to participate in "We Are Divorced", right?
As for the variety show breach of contract fee, it's no big deal, I can handle it."
"Then I would like to congratulate my elder brother and his wife first.
But I have a question, are you two planning on spending your honeymoon on the set?
"Wherever your elder brother is, it's our honeymoon." He Jiaqian said this sweet love word, which immediately made Zhang Jiakang smile.
"Brother, I really envy you!"
Gu Mo's words made Zhang Jiakang even happier.
As the elder brother, he also gave some advice to his younger brother.
“By the way, I saw the video of you performing with several students on the Magic Theater campus.
Your on-the-spot reaction is good, but your acting skills are still a little immature.
If you plan to develop in the film and television industry in the future, you can seek out professionals to learn from you. If time and conditions permit, you can even go to the Magic Theatre or the Central Academy of Drama for further studies.”
"I will probably do film and television work in the future, but for now I will only delve into and develop my music. Mainly because I am biting off more than I can chew, and I am worried that taking too big a step will lead to failure."
"What? You want to chew your own eggs?" Zhang Jiakang deliberately transformed himself into a master of empty ears.
Older people sometimes like to make jokes with a hint of color.
The premise is that the two people have a good relationship and are familiar with each other.
"Yes, I also want to dip it in hot sauce and eat it with rice.
As the younger brother, I must be loyal. I will definitely invite my elder brother Zhang Jiakang to taste this most delicious delicacy in the world together."
Zhang Jiakang looked disgusted: "Are you disgusting?"
"What, you want some more snacks?"
