When Thomas Jones learned from his agent that Mr. Jon Slattery planned to expand the series to six films but did not intend for him to live to the end, he was stunned.

Just like Hailey and the others said.

Thomas Jones is a very hypocritical man, with serious duplicity. He likes to be praised, coaxed, and watched as people circle around him.

He says no, I don’t want to do it anymore, but in fact he either really doesn’t want to do it, or he just complains and complains. After complaining, he will still do whatever you ask him to do.

Now your agent says that if you sign the three steps before the filming is over, you will be fine. They will find another male protagonist to inherit your last wish and continue to fight the villains... Can Thomas not be dumbfounded?

He was stunned for a while.

Then he asked: "Why are you talking about this? Mr. Slattery took the initiative to contact you?"

"It's because the company feels that the first three films in this series will not be able to accept the box office with such a good box office, and they want to get it right so that we can cooperate with you to make other work arrangements. And you originally lowered your salary to take the role, because

You have been ridiculed for this, but now it’s time to turn around. You are the leading actor, how can your current salary be worthy of the box office of "Justice Hunters"?"

"So you hinted that they were going to increase money????"

"Isn't it right that the movie is a hit? Do you know that the leading actor in his last hit series had to pay 35 million when he renewed his contract? That series wasn't so bright at the beginning. You got too little compared to him.

.”

"But they didn't give it to you, and they said they didn't plan to renew the contract."

The agent said without mercy: "The fact that he did not hesitate to say not to renew the contract shows that he does not want your character to survive to the end. You are not the one who is essential to the producer's heart, Jons

Rattrey is not one to dump a good hand just to save a few million."

This result was indeed unexpected by the brokerage company.

But they don't think it was a decision-making mistake.

What to say?

Aren't you not good enough?

The company hadn't even talked to him about his salary yet, but he just asked if it would be expanded to six films. He was told that you don't have to worry about whether it would be expanded or not. Just sign the contract for these three films after filming. The meaning was not clear enough.

?He just doesn’t want people.

"After the movie was released, your buzz, attention, popularity, and fan purchasing power were not as good as the cheongsam girl played by Xu Mi.

They are probably planning to protect the cheongsam girl until the end, sacrificing the protagonist one after another.

You should cherish the opportunity of the next two films and shoot them well. When you make an honorable exit, the company will have to nominate someone else to compete for the position of your successor.

Exactly, Thomas, don't you want to be beaten by that woman? Our company is also reasonable. You don't want to get off the car after signing a few movies before we finish. I will ask the recommender first before recommending him. I am willing to be beaten and like to be beaten.

to go.

Later, when you are filming the second and third parts, introduce the people from our company to Xu Mi and the others. They are all your own people who have been beaten for you, and they should help each other."

…

…

Do you listen to this?

Is this human language?

I said before why you didn’t take Jon Slattery’s role?

Now we are talking about human rights in a reasonable way. If you don’t like being beaten, you can get off the car... Damn it, isn’t this a living animal?

Thomas held back his temper when he was on the phone with his agent, and cursed her as soon as he hung up.

He could understand this matter if he thought about it carefully. A series of movies is just that. After a long period of filming, the people have to be replaced. It is impossible for the same people to fight back and forth all the time.

If it's them all the time, doesn't it mean that after five or six episodes, no one died?

It's not a kindergarten-level fight.

If none of the main characters are dead, how can we brag about the battle scenes? How can we affect the audience's emotions? How can we bring the plot to a climax?

The truth is that simple. Wouldn’t it feel better if you understood it?

No.

Anyone would feel very uncomfortable knowing that they were the ones who were given up.

Being unable to compete with Xu Mi and becoming the sacrificed party is a matter of strength, so we can only admit it. It’s no problem for him to leave after filming three movies, but he also has to assist others in the same company?

Why?

There are only a few first-line male stars in the company, and they usually have to compete for resources. If you don't do bad things, it's good, so why don't you help them?

I conquered the country with the first three films, and then handed it over to my competitors?

Thomas Jones is not stupid.

He won't do it.

At this time, people thought of his brother Raymond, who always complained about him but was very reliable at critical moments, so he called him.

"Brother, you should be in China for the next two months? You won't go out to film, right?"

"what?"

"You must come when we go back to have a celebration party. I will introduce Xu Mi to you then."

Raymond:?

Introduce Xu Mi to me?

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm just going to introduce you to her. Don't you admire her very much?"

"Come on, I haven't admired her for more than a day or two. Why didn't you introduce her to me before? Tell me, what are you planning?"

"It's nothing. I just see that you really want to inherit my legacy, so I'll help you pave the way."

Raymond was shocked.

He was completely stunned.

"I thought you were just a arrogant person who said you were not going to do it anymore, but actually you were able to finish the next ten movies honestly. I didn't expect you, are you serious???

Tommy, you really don’t want to do it anymore. This kind of series can hit 2 billion without any surprises. You actually said you won’t make it if you don’t want to make it. Are you even willing to inherit this from me???

Brother! My brother!

I still underestimated you before.

From now on, your image in my heart is different. Tommy, you are really a man who does not seek fame or fortune and follows his heart."

When Thomas blew it to him, not only did he not float, but his veins jumped. He was holding his breath and couldn't go up or down, and he was about to curse.

Raymond added: "I really want this kind of hit series, but I can't steal the role of a good brother no matter what, right? So I gave it up."

Raymond also advised him not to lose his temper, otherwise he would regret it later.

When you see this movie becoming a huge hit, you think it’s easy to get a box office hit. In fact, you’re wrong, a big mistake. Think about when you first hit the streets, did you even dream of it becoming a hit? Do you think that as long as the box office is good?

Is it okay for you to sacrifice barbecue for half a year?

Don't get carried away just because things are improving now.

Take a good shot of him.

That's what Raymond said.

Thomas thought to himself, why the hell do I still need your guidance??? If the filming can be completed well, will I stop filming? I said I quit, but I actually hindered the crew?

"I'm not..." Thomas almost said it, but he swallowed it back when it reached his lips.

Raymond asked: "What else?"

"It's nothing. In short, my physical and mental health is more important than any movie. I should have finished filming the three signed films in this series, but Mr. Slattery seems to be planning to expand. If you are interested, I can recommend it to you.

If you don’t do it, you will take advantage of others.”

Raymond:???

"You all know that letting someone go is to give others an advantage, so why would you give him an advantage?"

"Stop asking, just ask if you want to do it?"

When it came to this point, Raymond said honestly: "...I think."

"That's fine then."

Although Thomas almost made his good brother angry to death, at least the result was good. Even if such a big piece of cake was to be given away, it had to be given to his own people. Who would give it to a competitor of the same company?

Raymond was also worried that his promotion would not be successful.

Thomas reassured him, it would be okay!

First, there is a difference in their image. Raymond is a tough guy with bronze skin and black hair, which can bring freshness to the audience who have watched too much Golden Retriever in the first three movies.

The most important thing is that he can tell the producer that this brother of his has no other hobbies but likes to be beaten. He can also tell Xu Mi that Raymond is very tough and can resist beatings. Before he became an actor, he often fought with others and was often beaten with bruises and bruises on his face.

What an advantage it is to be able to withstand a beating and enjoy being beaten! If you have a good relationship with Xu Mi, wouldn't you get this role?
