This is a story about rebirth.
"Soldier Assault".
One of the best modern military TV series in China, what he tells is a story about rebirth.
Zhang Yuanyu arrived at Huayi’s office building in the afternoon.
Coming to the large conference room on the fifth floor, it has long been transformed into a temporary banquet venue.
"Soldier Assault", which has been filming for several months, will soon have its final banquet here.
Hua Yi and Zhang Yuan each invested half of the money in this film.
In Hua Yi's eyes, Zhang Yuan is their little brother.
So rounding off, this film belongs to Hua Yi.
So the official closing banquet was held in Huayi’s office building.
"Mr. Wang." Zhang Yuan took the lead and said hello to Wang Zhonglei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
“Here we come!” Xiao Wang patted him on the shoulder affectionately.
And pulled him to the corner to chat alone.
Other actors from "Soldier Assault" have also arrived.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan and Xiao Wang, who were both actors and were younger than me, had such a good relationship, they couldn't help but feel a little bit envious.
"You have become very popular recently, both in and outside the industry."
That's natural.
In the industry, "Crazy Stone" made him famous, and even China Film Group began to pay close attention to his movements.
Outside the industry, "The Banquet" has grossed over 100 million in box office since its release!
This is also Feng Xiaogang's second movie with a box office of over 100 million. The previous one was "A World Without Thieves".
Both dramas have Zhang Yuan's participation.
It’s just that the cost of “The Night Banquet” is much higher than that of “A World Without Thieves”!
And because it is a period costume, it is not like "A World Without Thieves" where a large number of advertisements are inserted to increase revenue.
"You have to come to the celebration banquet of "The Night Banquet" later." Xiao Wang said in concern.
It’s just that when he said this, his performance was a bit "laughing with tears".
As mentioned before, without advertising placement, the box office is about the same as "A World Without Thieves", but the cost is several times higher.
In addition, the largest overseas ticket warehouse, the North American market, was deceived by Harvey again.
The box office and overseas copyright fees of "The Night Banquet" seem to be about the same.
In fact, including publicity and capital costs, we actually lost money.
But Hua Yi is now preparing to go public, so he can only hold a funeral and announce that the film has made a lot of money.
The overseas copyrights and box office alone have already made the money back, and the domestic box office of hundreds of millions is a pure profit.
Is it pure profit? I don’t know the net worth of your company?
However, listed financial reports can be "beautified", and the main focus is performance growth.
From this point of view, as long as it looks like a big profit on the surface, and then make the financial report beautiful.
"Mr. Wang, the filming of "Soldier Assault" has been completed. How is the purchase of the film by the TV station now?" After chatting for a while, Zhang Yuan became concerned about the sale of the film.
I now have to repay a loan of more than 1 million yuan a month!
He only has one thing to say to Xiao Wang now.
I, Zhang Yuan, make money!
"Ahem." Xiao Wang coughed twice first, and then said hesitantly: "Well... there are several TV stations interested."
Look at him like this I just know that the film didn’t sell well.
No famous director, no famous actors... This is the reason given by most TV stations for rejection.
There are even TV stations saying that there is no love scene and the audience doesn’t like to watch it.
Love?
I love your mother’s love!
This movie is good because there is no love.
It’s a pure man’s play!
At that time, director Kang Honglei was invited by a friend to watch the drama adaptation of the original work "Soldier Assault", "Elna Assault".
Before the performance started, the leader of the drama troupe suddenly came on stage to speak and said.
“Today is the last performance of our Imperial Capital Military Region Comrades Repertory Troupe.”
“After this performance, our drama troupe will be disbanded.”
Then the leader left the stage and the performance began.
The solemn, tragic and desolate feeling has already lingered in Kang Honglei's heart before the performance started.
This scene perfectly fits the background of the story.
Chinese military reform!
Therefore, Kang Honglei made up his mind to make this novel into a TV series.
Although the story begins with Xu Sanduo, a boy from the countryside, it actually tells the transformation and struggle of all Chinese soldiers.
Xu Sanduo was reborn as the King of Soldiers.
Chengcairen is truly reborn as a talent as the name suggests.
The Seventh Steel Company was reborn as a new information-based army.
These things are not stories, but what is happening in China all the time.
Perhaps by God's will, Zhang Yi, who played the role of monitor in the film, was exactly the one Kang Honglei watched, a member of the repertory troupe that had been disbanded after the performance!
And as a substitute, he was unable to perform in the play until the repertory troupe was disbanded.
After learning that the TV series was about to be adapted, Zhang Yi felt that this was a knot in his mind and he had to participate no matter what.
I wrote a self-recommendation letter to the director titled "My Letter of Request".
Kang Honglei was deeply moved and immediately called him for an audition and arranged a role.
And in his most impressive scene in the film, the squad leader's only wish after retiring from the army was to see the capital and Tiananmen he defended.
That day was also the day that Zhang Yi himself transferred from the army where he had been fighting for ten years.
The actor and the character reached the highest resonance at that moment.
Tears shed on Chang'an Street, are the tears shed for myself or for the character.
At that moment, Zhang Yi was reborn from a drama actor to a film and television actor.
And in that scene, he gave an actor-level performance.
In terms of truth, no one is more truthful than him.
Looking at Tiananmen Square in the capital, I laughed and cried all the way.
What’s even more wonderful is that Zhang Guoqiang, who was co-starring for him, suddenly thought of it and took out the White Rabbit toffee in his pocket and forced one into his mouth.
This action is not in the script.
But just this one detail makes both characters sublime!
The company commander feeding sweets to the soldiers.
A retired soldier who smiles with tears and is bitter with sweetness.
Isn’t this scene more touching than those little loves?
It’s a pity that the TV stations are blind!
These blind people always want to help the audience make decisions.
“We feel that the audience doesn’t like to watch it.”
The Douban score is 9.5… Does this mean that the audience doesn’t like to watch it?
Zhang Yuan is not worried about the film’s sales.
It will always be broadcast. As soon as the broadcast results come out, people will buy the film.
It’s just that it’s difficult to make a lot of money in a short period of time.
The main reason lies in Huayi.
Hua Yi looks like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, extremely awesome.
In the film industry, their family is indeed quite capable.
But in the TV drama industry, Hua Yi is not very good at it.
Those provincial and Taiwanese people don’t take you Hua Yi seriously.
I still give you a low price, but it’s difficult to get the money back.
Currently Huayi has not yet been listed on the market, and has no money-making ability. After leaving the imperial capital, it is actually just like that...
"Big brother, Mr. Wang."
The two of them Just as he was talking, Baoqiang stepped forward and said hello.
"Oh, stay strong." Xiao Wang patted his shoulder enthusiastically: "I saw it and heard about it."
"Your performance in the film was very good."
< br>"I'm very optimistic about you." Xiao Wang spoke to him in a very gentle tone and kind manner.
"Zhang Yuan, you have gained a good little brother."
"I'm very envious." Xiao Wang seemed to be joking.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go talk to the director about the upcoming broadcast."
After he left, Wang Baoqiang, who had seemed a little embarrassed just now, regained his former brightness in front of him.
"Long time no see, big brother."
"You seem to have lost a lot of weight."
For the Nth time, Zhang Yuan replied to people about his weight loss.
"I've gotten a lot stronger!" After saying that, Baoqiang rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles.
Bao Qiang is very dedicated. Before the filming started, he went to the army to experience the field for more than a month. He ate, lived and trained with the soldiers.
In the famous scene in the film, Xu Sanduo did 333 abdominal bar exercises.
That was filming.
But for filming, Bao Qiang also practiced to the point where he could make dozens of them in one go.
So he feels that he is at the peak of his physical fitness now.
I am strong!
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was now thin, he became interested.
He claims to be from Shaolin, but he has never defeated his elder brother.
This guy is a thief.
Seeing this, I wanted to take advantage of it.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few months. Let's see if I've made any progress." He rolled his eyes and took action directly.
As fast as the wind, as powerful as thunder and lightning.
In the flash of lightning, his fists reached Zhang Yuan's door, and then...
"Hey, why am I on the ground?"
Two seconds later, the black mist rising in front of Bao Qiang's eyes due to the blood reversal gradually dissipated. When he came to his senses, Zhang Yuan had already pinned him behind his back with one hand and pinned him down on the carpet of the large conference room with his knees.
“You haven’t made much progress yet?” Zhang Yuan said and let go.
Sample, follow me and follow this set!
I can even dodge Hong Jinbao, who is known as the most agile fat man, but I can’t dodge you?
But he also looked at his thinner arms.
The strength has dropped by about 30%.
Baoqiang got up from the ground.
He understood that even if Zhang Yuan lost weight, he would not be able to win.
Then he scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Brother is indeed a eldest brother, he's really awesome."
"Don't wear this suit." Zhang Yuan smoothed the pleats of his suit.
"Brother, Mr. Wang has had dinner with me recently." After Baoqiang finished boasting, he changed his subject very abruptly.
"Oh?" Zhang Yuan paused and became alert: "Eating?"
"What did you talk about?"
"He said he was very optimistic about me and asked me if I was interested in developing in Huayi."
Zhang Yuan recalled the way Xiao Wang looked at Baoqiang just now.
No wonder you are so polite.
When he wanted to recruit me, he had the same attitude.
"That's good, it means you performed very well." Zhang Yuan grinned.
When Baoqiang saw him smiling, he felt a little panicked and quickly answered.
"I told him that I am fine now."
"And you must not forget your roots."
Wang Baoqiang immediately expressed his loyalty.
Zhang Yuan was not surprised by his answer.
After all, with his mind, if he would directly mention this matter to himself in person, it means that he definitely did not agree to the other party.
In fact, Bao Qiang’s plan for the attack just now was to strike suddenly and stop immediately after knocking down Zhang Yuan.
Then show your loyalty.
He thinks this routine is more perfect.
I didn’t expect to be knocked over instantly, so I turned a bit stiff.
When Xiao Wang came to find him, Baoqiang started to think about it.
He followed Zhang Yuan, who was already close to Hua Yi.
If he changes jobs, he will definitely offend Zhang Yuan, and the resources he can get from Hua Yi may not be much more.
But he will end up with the reputation of betraying his family.
In addition, he felt that if Zhang Yuanruo was angry, given his character, he would have to wear iron pants when sleeping in the future.
Because you never know when you will be unlucky.
After much calculation, I feel it is not a good deal.
He looked stupid, but he actually had a clear plan.
"Okay, I understand."
"Don't be stressed, just work hard on filming, I will take care of the rest." Zhang Yuan replied seemingly relaxed.
But I knew in my heart that Hua Yi was planning to poach me!
Be careful in the future.
"Baoqiang, please introduce it to me." Chen Sicheng, who plays Chengcai in the film, came to the two of them.
"I admire you very much and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you." He expressed his friendship without hesitation.
It can be said that in Chen Sicheng's heart, Zhang Yuan is now his idol.
But what he admires is not his acting skills, but his career development.
Invest in movies and TV series and make big money!
This is what he envies.
The character Chengcai in the film is used to compare with the protagonist Xu Sanduo.
Shrewd, slippery, clever but not righteous.
Chen Sicheng is a talent chosen by heaven.
I can only say that it is a perfect fit, and he is basically acting in his true colors.
This person’s family situation is very good, and his parents are both high-ranking officials.
Where is he?
First I was admitted to the Xie Jin Film and Television Academy. After studying for a year or two, I felt that the school was not good enough, so I dropped out and took the theater exam.
After being fired from the show for fighting, he turned around and took the Nortel exam.
As a result, Nortel found out about his "glorious deeds" that led to him being fired from the theater and directly refused to accept him.
In the end, his parents worked hard and got him into the Chinese Opera... Several major domestic colleges and universities were not enough for him.
It can be seen that this person has some abilities, but his mind and heart are too "flexible".
His ability to drill upwards is far greater than other abilities.
This made him look a little greasy.
Whether it is expressions, movements, eyes, or words, they are all oily.
As expected, greasiness is a personality regardless of age.
Just like Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yiwei, they both became oily at a young age.
These bits are typical of male chauvinism.
Why does Zhang Yuan feel that this person seems to be a talented person who is mainly smart?
Can polygamy be discussed openly?
Who do you think you are?
You dare to export opinions that are not in line with mainstream values even if you have some small achievements.
Some things can be done but cannot be said.
There are some things that can be said but not done.
But once some people drift, it is easy to do the opposite.
But this one can be considered a master of magic modification and stitching.
The ability is still there.
Besides, if morality is used as the criterion for making friends in the entertainment industry, one will become a loner.
"You're welcome, I'm looking forward to cooperating with you."
Zhang Yuan smiled.
"I've heard of you a long time ago, a great talent in Chinese opera."
"Hehehe..." This man smiled and flicked his bangs.
Zhang Yuan saw this action and felt that his face was almost covered in greasy energy.
I wanted to take a pair of scissors and twist his bangs...
Suppressing the impulse, he continued calmly.
"I heard that you can not only act, sing, write and compose, but also write scripts. You also directed many student assignments and stage plays when you were in school."
"You are very capable. Ah."
"Hehehehe." This man licked his lips greasyly.
Zhang Yuan:...
"I think you can not only become a good actor."
"I don't know if you will be good at acting or singing in the future, or if you are good at acting, you will be a director." It's possible."
"If you become Director Chen one day, don't look down on my little temple, remember to make big money with me."
"Don't dare. , you are too polite." Chen Sicheng did not expect that the other party would praise him so much.
I thought that because he was popular, he might not be too lazy to take care of me.
And Zhang Yuan’s words hit his nerves.
After Mo Shuo debuted, he set a goal when he was in school. He could not just be an actor.
This man is very ambitious!
Originally, when he came up to talk, he just wanted to make a good sale and make friends.
Although he had planned to join Hua Yi, he knew better than to hang himself from a tree.
It is important for investors to recognize a few investors.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan not only refused to resist but also took the initiative to "attack", which surprised him very much.
What most people will think when they encounter this situation.
“The other person is really nice, it seems he is worth making friends with.”
But when it came to him, it was.
“Even he thinks highly of me, which means I’m really good!”
Zhang Yuan had already guessed what he was thinking from his gradually raised, lips-like expression.
"Smart, but not top-notch smart enough to hide." Zhang Yuan had a rough idea.
“This kind of person should be very useful, especially if he is pushed to the stage to attract attention.”
After chatting with Chen Sicheng for a long time, he said hello and walked aside.
He came to the actor he was most interested in today.
"Hello, Brother Zhang Yi."
Zhang Yi, in his previous life, later joined Huayi.
Because his junior high school classmate Guo Na later went to Huayi as the publicity director.
With this relationship, he hesitantly became a member of Huayi a few years later.
Hua Yi wants to poach Wang Baoqiang?
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.
You are eyeing my people, why am I not eyeing yours! (End of this chapter)
