“Everyone is a number.”
“I can’t remember it when I pass by it...”
In the theater, accompanied by Zhou Bi’s singing, the theater was dimly lit for 90 minutes. The auditorium gradually became brighter.
"Brother Zhang Yuan...Brother Zhang Yuan..."
Assistant Zhao Xuexuan called him softly.
Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes in a daze.
Seeing that the closing credits had begun to play, he quickly stood up and took the lead in applauding.
Pa bang bang bang...
Today, he was invited to come to Leslie Cheung's movie screening party.
It’s that “Call 601”.
This film was taken... He didn't know about others, but he slept soundly anyway.
Zhang Yuan gave the assistant a thumbs up.
Fortunately, we called in time and there were a lot of media on site.
If you want to take a picture of yourself falling asleep, I don’t know how to evaluate it.
Actually, I can’t blame this film entirely, maybe half and half.
The other half is to blame, Liu Tao and Chen Zihan.
These two truly live up to their names.
His Nine Yang Magic was almost broken.
No, I’ve been home for two days and I’ve just completely recovered.
As a result, Li Xiaoran slipped out of the Qingdao crew again and came specifically to look for him.
There was so much fuss last night that the mattress almost collapsed.
They haven’t seen each other for several months, and Teacher Dabai is holding back quite a lot.
And she came not only to relieve the accumulated emotions, but also to advance the next few months' share.
Because she hasn’t finished filming her TV series yet, she has received an appointment for a literary film.
Actually, Li Xiaoran has become quite popular recently. She was also featured in the just-released "Dragon and Tiger Gate", playing the role of a Rakshasa girl with a very sexy look and hair highlights.
And this newly received literary film is even more heavyweight.
The film is called "The Botanist's Daughter".
The director is the author of the best-selling novel "Balzac and the Little Seamstress".
The producer is the French great Luc Besson!
This film is a Sino-French co-production.
Because the subject matter is sensitive... same-sex content, and it's a girl.
So the shooting plan was changed from China to Vietnam, and it was delayed for several years due to SARS.
The heroine has never been decided, from Maggie Cheung, Liu Ruoying to Zhou Xun, and finally changed to Li Xiaoran.
Zhang Yuan felt that he finally approached her simply because Liu Ruoying and Zhou Xun were both in Changhang Market and the other party couldn't afford it.
And one of the shooting conditions of this movie may also be the reason why these few people are unwilling to participate.
That means getting naked.
Besides Baymax, the other heroine is of mixed Chinese and French descent, and in the film she is completely naked from the front while facing two big thunderbolts.
It must be said that with the white genes, the development is indeed good.
Dabai refused the request to be completely naked. Although she would still take off her clothes on the set, only her naked back would be photographed.
Just looking at the back, the voluptuousness... tsk tsk tsk, I want to go up and take a picture of her buttocks from across the screen. It is very consistent with Zhang Yuan's actual combat perception.
There was a TV series before and a movie next. Li Xiaoran knew that she would not have time to meet him in a few months, so she sneaked out for a day.
She came here for fun.
Zhang Yuan just broke away from the entanglement of the two snake spirits and regained his yang energy, and then bumped into Teacher Dabai again.
The two of them finished work at six o'clock in the morning.
Dabai is catching up on his sleep at home, and he has to come over to support Uncle Guoli.
That's why I slept to death.
After he stood up, the other actors and the supporting buddies also stood up and applauded.
Uncle Guoli also clapped his hands to greet all the friends, audience and media present.
Thinking at the same time.
“After all, he is one of our own. I promised to help before, but I just called him.”
"The atmosphere was just right."
As Zhou Bi sang the theme song called "Number", a group of creators came to the stage.
Zhang Yuan frowned.
To be honest, in terms of image characteristics, Zhou Bi is not as good as Chun Ge.
In terms of voice, she is not as good as Zhang Liangying.
It’s quite uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
Just like the previous premiere of "Crazy Stone", the host asked questions one by one, and the actors told interesting stories about the crew and the difficulty of creation.
Then it was time to interview a number of guests.
In addition to him, Feng Xiaogang, an old friend who also serves as the film's producer, was also called over by Zhang Guoli.
For his own baby Hu Ge, Boss Cai also came to the scene specially.
Guo Degang played a cameo role... After all, Zhang Guoli was also his uncle.
Poop also came to the scene.
Uncle Guoli confidently called over Han from China Film Group.
Besides him on the stage, there were also Hu Ge, Zhou Bi Chang, Zhang Bozhi, Zhang Meng, Wei Zongwan and others.
The screenwriter is Zou Jingzhi, the man behind "Kangxi's Private Interview" and "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan".
On and off stage, in front of and behind the scenes, the lineup is truly luxurious!
The more this happens, the more embarrassed Zhang Yuan feels.
After all, this film has made a lot of noise, but the content and quality are really...
And because so many stars have been cast, the cost of this film is much higher than that of "Crazy Stone" .
Cheung Guoli even called out the expected box office target of at least 30 million.
Because only by reaching this number can the film break even at the box office and make a small profit from product placement.
But the final result was that Zhou Bi Sing's appeal was far less than expected, and the film's popularity dropped rapidly after its first weekend.
And like "Crazy Stone", this film also quickly encountered overseas blockbusters of the same period.
It’s just that the one he encountered was called “Cars”!
Lightning McQueen is much more awesome than Superman.
China Film originally wanted to pick a soft guy for him, but unexpectedly they picked a big guy.
“After watching this film, I feel that it was too late for Guoli to become a director.”
“But I am very glad that he became a director so late, otherwise I would have made more mistakes long ago. A rival!" Feng Xiaogang cheered as always.
However, with "Stone" as the background, he now doesn't dare to make a final conclusion on the box office of this film.
“I saw Teacher Zhou Bishang’s hard work and talent in the film.” Zhang Yuan followed suit.
"Bi Bi!"
As soon as he opened the car, a bunch of fans of Zhou Bi sang from behind shouted, frightening him.
“We have collaborated with Hu Ge before, but I didn’t expect him to be able to perform on the big screen with ease.”
Boss Cai turned around and gave him a thankful look.
On the stage, Hu Ge lowered his head in embarrassment.
After the process was completed, everyone had to follow Zhang Guoli to the five-star hotel nearby for a press conference.
Go through the interview, praise and other processes again.
I have been busy from day to day until the sun goes down, and then I am done.
Everyone came to the banquet room of the hotel, where Uncle Guoli prepared a buffet to entertain friends and media.
“Thank you for your recommendation.” Boss Cai led Hu Ge to him.
"You're welcome, we are all our own people." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we are all our own people." Boss Cai was very happy when he saw him saying this: "We will leave early in a while."
"Over there in Hengdian, we sugar people The highlight of this year, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to start filming, so I have to go back and prepare."
"Shishi, I assigned her the second female lead, Mu Nianci, and everyone is polite," Boss Cai mentioned. His little senior sister.
“Thank you, Boss Cai, for taking care of me, but I have a few small requests.”
"Say."
"No intimacy scenes, less kissing scenes."
"Yeah, I got it." Cai Yinong thought to herself
Say yes Senior sister, it’s not actually the canary he raised.
Originally, Mu Nianci and Yang Kang were going to have several intimate scenes, including kissing scenes.
Boss Cai thought about it and decided to delete it. Zhang Yuan would not be happy to save it.
"One more thing, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was produced by us Sugar Man with a huge investment. Our company has never spent so much money on a project."
"Coupled with the recent craze for martial arts, there is a high probability that it will become popular."
“Once the film becomes popular, the actors will follow suit. As the second female lead, Liu Shishi will definitely be able to reach a higher level in the entertainment industry.”
“Our sugar lovers are very sincere, so it’s Can’t we discuss signing a contract?”
Of course, when Boss Cai talks about signing a contract, he does not mean signing Zhang Yuan.
For him, Boss Cai has long given up his delusions and knows that he can't hold it.
She is talking about Liu Shishi.
Boss Cai actually feels a little strange.
Zhang Yuan obviously has his own agency, but he has never signed this young senior sister.
No matter what the reason is, Boss Cai feels that if he can't win against Zhang Yuan, I have to shake hands with the little lion.
Actually, it’s not that Zhang Yuan doesn’t want to sign, it’s that he doesn’t dare to sign.
The little lion is so clingy, it’s okay if we don’t meet him, but when we meet he just sticks to him.
The agency is now managed by Cheng Hao. If Liu Shishi is signed, her ears will not be pulled off by her good sister!
So his plan all along was to keep the little senior sister at Sugar Man.
She is an important link between herself and Boss Cai.
"Okay, I will discuss this with her and her family."
"Hey, that's great!" Boss Cai was overjoyed when he heard this.
Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, was unhurried.
Because Liu Shishi is not only a link, but also his bargaining chip.
And the time to use this bargaining chip is almost here. "Okay, let's go back to the Magic City first, and we'll contact you later."
"Definitely, keep in touch." Zhang Yuan greeted with a smile, then turned to look at Hu Ge .
"You...take care of yourself." He expressed concern with an indescribable expression.
“Hey, goodbye, Brother Yuan!” Hu Ge didn’t notice at all and nodded humbly in front of him.
After all, in his heart, his movie role is just to pick up the leftovers...
Watching the two of them off, he chatted with Teacher Guo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
“The third branch will open soon.”
“There is also Pingshu Hall, and I plan to open one too.” Teacher Guo talked about his work arrangements.
“That’s a good thing.”
The cross talk club is developing very smoothly and he hardly has to worry about it.
“When Pingshu Club opened, I went to join in the ribbon-cutting.”
“That’s perfect!” Guo Degang replied cheerfully.
“But there is one more thing. Recently, viewers have been recording videos and posting our cross talk online.”
“Many people in the club are scolding them, saying that doing so is ruining their jobs. .”
"After all, people can watch it online for free, so who would come to a small theater?"
"Oh, what do you think?" Zhang Yuan did not answer, but asked instead.
“I think this is good and bad.”
“Their concerns are indeed valid, but online communication is also conducive to improving the reputation of our Deyuan Society.”
< br>"That's right!" Zhang Yuan slapped his hand.
"Internet communication will become more and more important in the future, so it cannot be blocked. Besides, you and I have no ability to stop it."
"I think it is better to block the way and to cooperate than to fall out."
"Why? Say?" Seeing his confidence, Teacher Guo knew that his junior brother must have something up his sleeve.
"Our team is now slowly starting to be able to organize business performances?"
"Yes!" Guo Degang was very proud: "Next year there will be performances in the Magic City, the Imperial City, and Guangdong Province. Commercial performances are large venues with three to four thousand people.”
A big venue with three to four thousand people... Although Zhang Yuan wanted to complain about his small vision, this matter had the background of the times, so he couldn't be blamed.
"Commercial performances are different from small theaters. They have commercial copyrights."
"I will come to pull the strings and find a way to sell this copyright when the time comes!"
< br>"What copyright?"
"Internet copyright!" Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
Teacher Guo is a little confused.
“Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”
“Although you may not be able to make much money, it is better than being stolen in vain.”
"That's right."
Teacher Guo didn't understand, but seeing that he was confident, he felt that he couldn't lose anything anyway, so he gave him full authority to handle it.
"Also, Lao Qian's son is going to have a hundred-day banquet soon, and he also said that he wants to become a disciple of the two of us." When Teacher Guo mentioned this, he was as happy as if his own son was going to have a hundred-day banquet.
"He told me to take care of things when the time comes, so please worry about it."
"Okay, let's have fun together when the time comes."
After making an agreement with him , Zhang Yuan hurriedly turned to the owner.
Zhang Guoli, Feng Xiaogang, and Han Sanpin are chatting.
The content is nothing more than some movie-related topics.
"Hello."
"Hey, you're here just in time, let's chat together." Old Han pulled him over.
Now that "Crazy Stone", which he invested and led, has been successful, he has the qualifications to talk business with a few people.
We are talking about some big things, nothing more than exporting copyright overseas, cross-strait film and television cooperation and other topics.
Although people are willing to pull themselves, he just listened in his seniority and did not talk.
When a few old guys said, he said.
"Uncle Guoli, Director Xiaogang, President Han."
"" The crazy stone "previously lost some of your care to get this result."
" I was busy a while ago, I didn't have time to celebrate the banquet. "
"I'm free now. Do you want to come together?"
"Okay!" Han Sanpin agreed immediately.
It's Gong Gong!
I almost fell down because of an imported movie. It would be unreasonable not to celebrate.
"Okay, you and Uncle Guoli haven't been to my house yet, right?"
"That's a good place. I went back there." Director Feng answered: "It's well decorated and the place is spacious."
The few of them decided that something big must be done.
Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked his assistant to contact the hotel and bring a professional chef team there.
This house was renovated with this kind of banquet needs in mind. The kitchen equipment is designed according to the kitchen of a restaurant.
He also quickly called Yang Buting to invite him.
Although Lao Han was the number one film producer in China, when he wanted to invest in this film, he was affiliated with Lao Yang.
For a celebration banquet, you must invite people, otherwise it will be shameful.
But Zhang Yuan knew that this person would not attend.
It’s not that he looks down on himself, it’s just that his identity hinders him.
In addition to his work at China Film, Yang Buting is also the deputy director of the Radio, Film and Television Administration.
Directly participate in and lead the review of domestic films.
As someone with an official status, it is easy for someone to gossip about him if he attends a private banquet for a film industry boss like him.
But this was also the reason why Zhang Yuan came to him at that time.
In 2003, China Film became the dominant one, monopolizing the import channels for Chinese films, and decided to divide China Film’s power.
Then Huaxia Film Import Company was established.
But managers still make arrangements from above.
But in the final analysis, these two companies actually have something to do with each other.
After Lao Han retired in later generations, the boss of China Film Import Company came to become the boss of China Film.
Anyway, one of them is more business-oriented and the other is more technical.
Together, they formed the leading group in the Beijing circle.
Zhang Yuan would not take sides foolishly.
He just needs cooperation from both ends.
As he expected, Lao Yang verbally congratulated him but declined the invitation.
However, I am quite satisfied with his invitation.
People can take it away, but you can’t give it away!
After contacting everyone here, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is to organize the celebration banquet.
He held this banquet not only to celebrate and eat and drink, but also to have many people to contact and many things to arrange and solve.
"Hello." He was planning silently in his mind. At this time, a slender and tall figure came to his side and said hello softly.
“Hello.”
Zhang Yuan looked up and saw that the person coming was Zhang Meng, the film's supporting actress.
This is the winner of Miss Universe China in 2004.
In the same year, Gal Gadot was the champion of the Utah District.
Both participated in the global finals.
Because Gal Gadot was about to enlist in the army, she had no preparations and did not want to win. She reported to the army directly after the game.
This one is trying to make a career in the entertainment industry.
Now he is close to the big tree of Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Yuan has a general interest in her.
However, her future husband was a member of the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and later worked at Shanghai Film Studio and served as the general manager of a joint venture between Shanghai Film Studio and Emperor.
Later she opened her own company, making her a moderate producer in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Guoli has praised two young actresses in total. In addition to her, there is also one named Han Yuqin.
Both of these two have average interpretations, but they have one thing in common.
Marry well!
Zhang Meng married a boss, and Miss Han even married the boss of Daphne Shoes.
Zhang Guoli is in love and marriage...
"You are so awesome. You participated in the filming of Lao Mouzi's movie and also invested in the movie yourself."
"Can we have a dinner date alone when you have time?"
"I want to learn from you. Learn about movies." After chatting for a while, Zhang Meng said with a charming smile.
I think you want to learn the postures of short movies...
"I am usually very busy, and I may not have time recently."
"Then I can wait for you later." After saying that, she winked at him.
The opponent boldly played a straight ball.
This woman really wants to make progress, and she is the type who has more ambition than ability.
Sure enough, as he became more and more popular, the people around him became more and more proactive towards him.
Although there is something special about this person's figure and appearance, he understands that once you get involved with this kind of woman, she will definitely get some benefits from you before she will let go.
I almost don't have enough yang energy now, so there is no need to cause this kind of trouble again.
But because of Uncle Guoli’s relationship, he couldn’t refuse sternly.
“Let’s talk about it, let’s see when I’m free.”
“Then can I leave your phone number? You can contact me when you have time.”
“Okay Well..."
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to accept it passively.
This alliance is still powerful, and it can easily do things that Huang Shengyi couldn't do no matter what.
A few days later, the "Crazy Stone" celebration banquet was officially held in the courtyard house of Fuyuan Hutong... (End of this chapter)
