In the hotel room, Zhang Yuan felt a little bit injured.
Well, only a few.
After all, I wanted to make a fortune by "buying shares" in "Family with Children".
Because he has a lot of big money to spend next, it would be nice to get more.
And recently, I have earned a lot of endorsement fees through my actions at the party, and my pockets are bulging.
But it's still not enough.
But it doesn’t matter, because...
Zhang Yuan picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and adjusted it to the Mango channel.
"Isn't it a little too hurtful to say this?"
"Break your mother's head!"
Zhang Yuan felt comfortable watching Yan Shifan, the little pavilion boss played by Teacher Zhang Zhijian, throw out the carved red silk stone inkstone.
There is no light in the east and light in the west.
You can't get "Family with Children" there, but there is also "Ming Dynasty 1566".
In early 2007, this film was aired on Mango Channel with high profile.
It can be said that there are noisy gongs and drums, firecrackers are blasting, and red flags are waving...but there are no huge crowds of people.
It's cold, very cold.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a piece of smelly meat.
But in Zhang Yuan's eyes, this is a big piece of fat!
The ratings of this TV series were low, but Zhang Yuan watched it with gusto.
Facts have proven that ratings and box office cannot prove the quality of a TV series or movie.
This film is good enough to go down in the history of Chinese TV dramas, but it flopped like this.
But Zhang Yuanlao was distracted as he watched.
Because now when he looks at Teacher Zhang Zhijian's Xiaoge Lao, he always thinks of Gao Yuliang in "In the Name of the People".
Also discussing Ming history with Gao Xiaofeng...
The sense of déjà vu is too strong.
Especially in later generations, there are ghost videos on the Internet that cut Xiaoge Lao and Gao Yuliang together, and the two people's lines can match each other.
To be honest, it was still as refreshing as the TV series of those days.
Don't mention anything else, just say the lines.
"I'll hurt your head!"
TV series with words like this are not good to watch.
Even more so than the earlier "Yongzheng Dynasty" when Lima became a country and returned to the country.
In fact, swearing is not necessarily vulgar, as it can express emotions.
And whether it is a foreigner coming to China or a Chinese person going to a foreign country, there are usually swear words in the first three sentences of a foreign language learned.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. He feels that there is no need to be so stuck on the lines.
I watched two episodes before going to bed, and I felt much better.
Early the next morning, he got on the plane and rushed to Treasure Island.
"The Untold Secret" has been launched.
As an investor, I have to visit the cast and take a look at Liu Qianqian's performance.
"You're here!"
The commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of Tamjiang Middle School in New Taipei City, Baodao.
Now that the school is on holiday, it is just enough for the crew to shoot all day.
The security at the entrance was very tight, almost including an anti-tank roadblock.
After Zhang Yuan arrived, he was not only interrogated but also refused to enter.
Only then did Jay Chou come to pick him up.
There is no way, Jay Chou is too popular.
I heard that he was filming here, and fans who came to the school every day hoping to see the true face of the idol ranged from hundreds to thousands.
If we didn't stop him, the crew would have been in chaos.
The two of them walked carelessly on campus.
This place is a private school and the facilities are very good.
Otherwise there would be no piano room.
I greeted the assistant director, cameraman, and others of the crew one by one, and also met with the protagonists.
Sissi was putting on makeup and getting ready, but she happened to be absent.
"Hello." Zhang Yuan looked at everyone and then waved to the assistant.
Zhao Jueyuan came to everyone with a large box of things.
After putting it down and opening it, there were a lot of trendy brand accessories just bought from Guan Xige.
Because most of the cast members are from music background, these things are just right for them.
Mainly because they were forced to "go along" without spending any money.
Huang Junlang and Du Guozhang are close friends of Jay Chou, lyricists and makeup artists, and they were quite happy after getting the things.
But a few of them looked normal. Although they were happy, they were a little reluctant.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Yuan pointed to those people: "The shooting didn't go well?"
"Hey, don't curse me." Jay Chou also glanced: "It's not because of you."
The ones with ordinary faces were two members of Nanquan Mama.
"The crowd came in just before the shooting started."
Director Jay Chou cautiously glanced at a tall, thin young man not far away.
Zhang Yuan raised his hand and greeted this person, who also responded with a silly smile.
Director Jay Chou was talking about Chen Chuhe.
After Zhang Yuan and the landlubber were finalized, he immediately arranged a job for his eldest son to show his sincerity.
Now, this is the play.
Anyway, the requirements for acting in this movie are not that high.
And the role assigned to him is mainly responsible for being handsome.
This is in line with his true nature.
Zhang Yuan personally found Jay Chou and got him the role of Yu Hao.
No one knows his name, but in the plot, this person is the one who plays piano with Jay Chou.
The protagonist of the piano battle scene is Jay Chou, and with a lot of special effects, he is not just responsible for looking cool.
Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses is very suitable for Chen Chuhe, who currently has little acting skills.
And the reason why people like Nanquan’s mother couldn’t come out after seeing him was because of this role.
The character's name is Yu Hao because Jay Chou was lazy in naming, so he just used the original actor's name.
The original actor's name was Zhan Yuhao, who was a member of Nanquan Mama.
And like Jay Chou, this person also graduated from Tamkang Middle School.
It was great that I could go back to my alma mater to act, but I was replaced before filming started.
It must be depressing and I have to complain to my teammates.
And he couldn't afford to offend him.
As soon as Chen Chuhe arrived on the set, the makeup artist planned to cut his hair into a fashionable short haircut.
Was rejected directly by this person.
The makeup artist had to give up and change the character's look to one with long hair.
There's nothing wrong with that. Chen Chuhe is indeed more handsome with long hair.
"Look, you did it all." Jay Chou said, half teasing and half complaining: "Substitute anyone you want."
"I have promised to take care of my friends. After all, I helped establish Nanquan Mama."
"Don't talk about that useless thing." Zhang Yuan got angry when he saw his righteous words.
"If you take care of your friends wholeheartedly, the second female lead should be Liang Xinyi!"
Liang Xinyi is the American-Russian-Chinese mixed-race girl among the second-generation Nanquan mothers, the one who sang "Mudanjiang" and "Coral Sea".
He also complained that I replaced a member of Nanquan Mama and promoted Zeng Kaixuan to the second female position.
It’s not just about picking up girls.
"Why don't you give her the second female lead?"
Director Jay lowered his head and touched his nose in embarrassment.
"Besides, I'm an investor, and if I want to replace someone, I have to consider your feelings!" Zhang Yuan put his hands on his hips, showing off the aura of a young man.
"Ouch, you're such a dick."
"Ah, you're here!"
Zhang Yuan was pretending to be cool and got in trouble with Jay Chou.
A familiar female voice came from behind.
Turn around and take a look.
Liu Qianqian wore an aristocratic school uniform that resembled a small suit.
Dark blue jacket, gray sweater lining, and a pure white shirt underneath.
After all, she is the heroine, even if she wears the same uniform, she is still unique in appearance.
The collar of the shirt was raised, and a large white bow was tied to the first button.
She looks very pure and beautiful, with a girlish aura coming to her face.
Her hairstyle is very simple, just a single ponytail.
Originally, Jay Chou wanted to use Gui Lunmei, so the character was designed with short hair for women.
So after arriving on set, the stylist wanted to cut my hair again.
But he was stopped by Mother Liu.
Because it didn't say in the contract that it should be cut short.
Sissi was happy with it, and it didn’t matter to her if she shaved her head off.
But Liu Xiaoli still called Zhang Yuan.
Then Zhang Yuan called Director Jay again.
"Don't cut your hair, she is still more suitable for long hair."
The stylist almost cried. Am I the styling director or the makeup assistant?
Everyone on the set didn't listen to me, and they didn't even let me cut their hair.
They couldn't afford to offend anyone, and they were not allowed to have their hair cut. Director Jay Chou had to be polite when he saw them.
Zhang Yuan's visit to the class was a lie, but seeing her was a lie.
Come closer and take a look.
"Didn't I say you went to put on makeup?"
"Did it melt?" Xiao Longnu pointed to her lips: "Put on lip gloss."
"Then what?"
"It's finished."
Zhang Yuan:......
Then you, the heroine, will save a lot of money on equipment!
She looks really good without makeup and looks more youthful.
Zhang Yuan remembers that when she and Leehom Wang were filming "Love Announcement", they didn't even wear makeup and appeared completely naked.
There are very few people in the entertainment industry who dare to do this.
It all depends on youth and foundation.
"You didn't tell me in advance when you were coming, so I could be prepared." Liu Qianqian frowned and smoothed the broken hair from her forehead.
"That's good for you."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"And I deliberately didn't tell you that I was coming, so that you wouldn't be too excited to sleep the night before."
"I won't be unable to sleep," she replied with a smile.
"Uh-huh... Zhang Yuan is here." Seeing her daughter's beaming look, Liu Xiaoli coughed slightly and stepped forward to say hello.
"Are Aunt Liu used to eating in Baodao?"
“It’s okay, but the chili here is not too spicy.”
Liu Xiaoli has lived in Wuhan for most of her life. In order to maintain her figure, she eats light food, but in fact it is not light.
"I'll treat you to Baodao's spicy hot pot that night." Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Everyone from the crew is here!"
"Okay!" A bunch of rough guys responded quickly when they heard that they could get some food.
"What are you filming today?" Zhang Yuan turned to Director Zhou and asked, "Don't delay me just because I'm here."
"Today's shooting of the finale is the photo session."
"Oh..." He knew.
In the photo at the end of the film, the male and female protagonists appear at the same time, proving that the male protagonist successfully traveled through time.
"Then you guys take pictures...wait a minute." Zhang Yuangang started to speak, but then he started laughing again.
"Does the costume fit my size?"
"There should be...what are you going to do?" Jay Chou was puzzled.
“Create a little easter egg for the audience to look for.”
Soon after, the school moved out the wooden steps used for group photos.
There are four floors in total, with room for forty or fifty people.
The extras have been found early, and the crew has arranged the filming appropriately.
But everyone could only stand.
"Wait for a long time." Soon after, Zhang Yuan ran to the scene while buttoning up.
When Zhang Yuan told Jay Chou about "Easter Eggs" at first, he didn't understand yet.
Now he understands.
Jay Chou and Sissi stood in the penultimate row of the shooting area, relatively in the middle.
Make it easier for viewers to discover.
Zhang Yuan probably arrived at the opposite corner of the last row.
He didn't even do his hair, so he had it combed by Du Guozhang, Jay Chou's personal makeup artist.
The clothes were also borrowed, which happened to be Chen Chuhe's clothes.
He is a little over 180 in height, and his physique is already considered very tall in Baodao.
The biggest costume on the set is his.
But Zhang Yuan was still a little tight after putting it on.
"Um, Zhang Yuan, you..."
When he was ready, the assistant director hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"The makeup is wrong, or the style is wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked quickly.
"That's not the case, you are too eye-catching."
The assistant director glanced past him and saw that Zhang Yuan was tall and handsome, standing out among the crowd.
Sissi turned her head and glanced, then covered her mouth and chuckled.
"He looks quite good in his school uniform..." Xiao Longnu thought to herself.
"Then I'll hide to the side."
"Okay, that's almost it."
After Zhang Yuan hid half of his face behind the heads of the students in the front row, the assistant director nodded with satisfaction.
The camera stopped working, and the actors came to the monitor to check.
"Oh, you can find it this way, but it's not easy to find." Jay Chou found it strange.
"Yes, I'm far away from you, and half of my face is blocked in the corner. Let them find it." Zhang Yuan replied proudly.
His plan is to use this photo as an easter egg, and when the film is promoted, it will be said that Long Yang and CP are reunited.
You go find it.
Search for death.
After searching for more than an hour, the last moment passed by.
I'm not talking nonsense, but I didn't show up much either. Anyway, I didn't lie, and I can still have multiple promotional and selling points.
"When someone discovers that I appear in this photo, the second line of hype will begin."
"I just posted a message on the Internet saying that I only showed half of my face and demanded 1 million in salary from the crew."
"Ah?" Jay Chou was shocked.
When he heard Zhang Yuan talking about Easter eggs just now, he felt that the other person was a genius.
Now I feel that this is not only a genius, but also a ruthless person!
"You will be scolded."
"What I want is to be scolded." Zhang Yuan's expression remained as usual.
"Being scolded creates heat."
“If it’s popular, more viewers will know about it.”
"The more people know about it, the more people will go to the theater."
"As long as the box office is good, it doesn't matter if you get scolded."
Director Jay Chou was moved when he heard what he said.
For the sake of the film, I sacrificed myself.
Liu Xiaoli also raised her eyebrows while listening.
This is too grand!
He is still the smartest. The filming of the film has not yet been completed, and even the promotional methods have been planned.
No wonder Lao Chen said he could do great things when he saw him.
Liu Xiaoli originally thought that this movie Sissi would get 10% of the box office revenue.
Even if the box office is 100 million, she will only get around 4 million.
She estimated that the film could earn 30 to 40 million, which would be a top-notch amount, so her daughter's salary would be no more than 20 to 3 million.
But now it seems that this boy's ambition is not small!
It should be much more than that.
"Initially, during the screening of the film, no one has to answer."
"When the money is made, the film will be released."
"You and I are clarifying it publicly."
"Then find a chance and I'll go to your concert and sit in the front row. You can Cute me a little bit and I'll be photographed."
"This will clear up the rumor that he directed and acted himself."
Zhang Yuan was not afraid at all.
It's okay even if you don't clarify.
It also helps to raise one’s own worth.
Besides, people love to read this kind of reversal story, and it is guaranteed to satisfy them.
"It's still not good." Liu Qianqian frowned and said.
How can anyone blackmail himself?
She is exposed to pornographic rumors online all day long, and knows best the pain of being scolded.
"You are stupid. If the box office is good, your remuneration share will be more." Zhang Yuan looked at her.
"Then I would rather not have so much money."
"You don't want me, I want it!" Zhang Yuan nodded to her lovingly.
Liu Xiaoli was by her side, otherwise she would have been hugged and given a good RUA treatment.
"It's okay, I have my own sense of discretion."
"You don't have to worry."
"Oh..." She was worried, but also willing to believe in Zhang Yuan's ability.
After finishing all the Easter eggs, Zhang Yuan generously booked a spicy hotpot restaurant.
The so-called Baodao spicy hot pot was actually originally the Sichuan-Sichuan hot pot made by the Sichuan soldiers who missed their hometown in Baodao in the past 49 years. It was improved from the local hot pot.
Mainly eat duck blood, tofu, large intestine, hairy tripe and other dishes.
Compared with Sichuan and Sichuan hot pot, Baodao spicy hot pot is not that spicy, but the bottom of the pot has a thicker flavor and more herbal flavor.
Overall it's milder.
After all, the taste of Baodao aborigines is closer to that of Guangzhou, Fujian, and even people who are too excited can't stand it.
We are all investors, so we must be more generous.
Because speaking of it, these people are all his younger brothers who work for him to make money.
"You want to eat more, will it be too spicy?" Zhang Yuan persuaded when he saw Sissi's face turning red.
"No (spicy)." She said, pretending to be strong.
My voice is sticky when I speak, and it’s not spicy at all.
But the soul of Wuhan does not allow her to be afraid of spicy food.
His level of stubbornness is similar to that of Lao Wang at the mahjong table.
The more food you eat, the stronger you become.
Even when his mother is here, he can't have any intimate behavior.
We just secretly kissed for a while in the corner of the hotel corridor at night.
After whispering about the current situation again, they reluctantly went back to their rooms.
Zhang Yuan woke up early the next day, went to the set to see her again, and then boarded a flight back to the mainland.
He still did not return to the imperial capital, but went to Sichuan, the birthplace of Baodao spicy hotpot... (End of this chapter)
