After arriving at the sky, Xia Tian hosted the third script reading.

This time, there was no mistake again, and everyone performed very well. Sophie Marceau also passed the script successfully and understood it thoroughly.

In view of this, Xia Tian immediately announced the filming plan for the filming, which was scheduled to officially start shooting in three days.

"Everyone prepares it and cooks everything in their hands. After the machine is officially started, I'm afraid there is no time for vacation." Xia Tian told everyone.

Although filming in Hollywood is not as busy as in Hong Kong, and is busy for several days and nights without sleeping, it is basically quite busy. Apart from the necessary rest, you have to film at other times. So once you have something to do, you have to ask for leave, and taking leave will delay the shooting progress.

Of course, Xia Tian doesn’t want them to ask for leave too often, otherwise he won’t shoot that scene.

Everyone nodded in understanding, then stood up and left.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your advice to me." Sophie Marceau walked to Xiatian and said.

"You don't have to be polite, helping you is also to help me." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "But I still want to remind you that if you call me again in the future, I hope it will be before nine o'clock. Because after nine o'clock, we will have to rest. I don't want to deal with official business anymore during private time."

In the past two days, Sophie Marceau was addicted and called him several times. It was okay during the day, but it was important that he still called after ten o'clock in the evening. He was so annoyed that he was so annoyed.

Although it is an honor to have a beautiful woman calling herself, I don’t know how many people are jealous of them. But for Xia Tian, ​​I don’t really want to have such honor.

First, he was not interested in Sophie Marceau. Although the other party was a goddess, it was not his dish. Second, Wang Xiaoxian was also a little jealous jar, and he even drank two taels of vinegar when he had nothing to do, not to mention that she called so frequently.

After hearing Xia Tian's words, Sophie Marceau was immediately sad.

She didn't know what was wrong with her recently, as if she was caught in an evil spirit. She always thought about Xia Tian, ​​wanting to meet him, and wanting to hear his voice. But Xia Tian refused her coldly, which made her very sad.

"Brother Tian, ​​let's go." Wang Qixian stepped forward and said.

Xia Tian nodded and left with her.

...

When I returned to the office, I just sat down and saw the king walking in.

"Boss, I've signed up for Macaulay Calkin," he said with a smile, "How much do you guess he's paid?"

"Five hundred thousand dollars?" Xia Tian said boldly when he saw him laughing so happily.

Although Macaulay Culkin is only eight years old this year, he has participated in two movies, "Cremnation Sea" and "The Attraction of the opposite sex", and has also been named one of the most promising child stars by "The New Yorker" and "New York Times", so he still has a certain popularity and cannot be regarded as a newcomer. Therefore, although he is still a child, his salary is already higher than Julia Roberts in terms of films.

"No, no, I only spent 200,000 US dollars." Wang Jing said with a smile.

"How is that possible?!" Xia Tian said in surprise when he heard this.

Macaulay Calkin had already received a $200,000 salary in the previous movie "The Attraction of the opposite sex". Now his fame is higher than before, and it is impossible for him to not have a pay increase.

"Really." The king smiled proudly.

"Okay, then how did you do it?" Xia Tian couldn't help asking curiously.

"Oh, I called the parents of three children to come over and let them overheard me calling the others and said that their children were selected as the leading actor.

When they asked me back, I told them that the reason they chose another child as the protagonist was because the cost was limited and that child was cheaper. In this way, if he wanted to get this opportunity, he could only reduce his salary by himself." Wang Jing smiled.

"Smart!" Xia Tian couldn't help but praise after hearing this.

"But Director Wang, how can you be sure that he will reduce his salary for this drama? If he insists on not reducing it, then your plan will be ruined?" Wang Xianxian asked in confusion.

"Miss Wang, you don't know anything about this. I've inquired in advance. Macaulay Carlkin's father is just a person who can eat, drink, bet and get five poisons. He usually spends a lot, but he doesn't make money himself. He only relies on his children as child stars to make money.

There are not many children's dramas in Hollywood. Macaulay Calkin can only act in some dramas, and he can't make much money and can't satisfy his squandering. Therefore, the 200,000 yuan salary for this drama is really very important to him, so he has to make a profit." Wang Jing explained.

"So that's it." Wang Qixian nodded, then praised with a smile, "Doctor Wang, you really know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!"

"It's all Mr. Xia reminded me." Wang Jing smiled.

"Don't say that, it's all your credit, you don't have to give it to me." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, since you have signed it, then start shooting as soon as possible. You must be released on Christmas time."

"Okay." Wang Jing nodded.

...

At this moment, Xia Tian’s elder brother suddenly rang.

"It's Sophie Marceau again? Why is she endless?" Wang Qixian frowned.

Xia Tian picked up his phone and pressed the answer button, "Hey?!"

"Hey, Mr. Xia, I'm Michelle." Michelle's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Ah, it's you, what's wrong?" Xia Tian asked.

"That's right, boss, didn't you let me acquire the Washington Daily News?" Michelle smiled.

"Yes, how about it? Is there any result?" Xia Tian asked quickly when he heard this.

"It's true. But the price is different from before." Michelle replied.

"How much difference?" Xia Tian asked.

"The difference is 20 million US dollars. The owner of the Washington Daily News, Gannett Group, said $170 million." Michelle replied.

"Twenty million US dollars~" Xia Tian pondered for a moment, "Okay, promise them this price."

The Washington Daily News sold about 500,000 copies per issue, ranking among the top ten in the sales list of US newspapers. It is actually worth it to buy it for $700 million. After all, it also spent 600 million Hong Kong dollars on Ming Pao.

Furthermore, it is of great use to buy the Washington Daily News, not to make money by borrowing reselling. If it is a saying in the real estate industry, if it is a urgent need, it is right to get on the bus at any time. So it doesn’t matter if it is a little expensive.

Michelle nodded, "Okay, Mr. Xia, then I'll call you again."
