Chapter 136 Half of the Home Page
In a taxi leaving the villa area.
"Sister Fan, do you believe what that boy said just now?"
Lin Cong turned his head and asked hesitantly.
Accompanied by the dim yellow light emitted by the passing street lamps, one can clearly detect the fatigue on the face of Lin Cong, the female comedy director.
Lin Cong is Yingda's apprentice, and Yingda is considered an old man in the film and television industry in the imperial capital.
Xu Fan brought her to Wang Fei's card game because he also wanted to help this "loved relative" expand his contacts.
Entertainment circle, entertainment circle, the most important thing is this circle.
Lin Cong also had high expectations for tonight's report. After all, if he could make good friends with Wang Fei, he would be able to gain "half of the people" in the imperial capital's entertainment industry.
Ke had just played a few cards when a sudden accident disrupted the good game, making her feel a little lonely.
Of course, Leslie Cheung's unexpected death also cast a haze on the heart of this insider.
The experienced Xu Fan naturally saw what Lin Cong was thinking, chuckled, and replied lightly.
“As he said, it’s better to believe something exists than to believe something doesn’t exist.”
“And...” Xu Fan raised his head and recalled that although it wasn’t long ago, she should have A brief encounter that left a lasting impact.
“As Guoli said, this kid is obviously different from his peers.”
Xu Fan stroked his hair beside his ear: "Look."
"When we heard about Guorong's accident, we stopped talking. It was her friend who collapsed to the ground after hearing the bad news. , I don’t even have the strength to stand up.”
“I was panicked when I came. After all, we are all insiders. We all feel the same way and are confused when we hear this news.”
"But although this guy was dark and gloomy, he controlled the situation when we were in a hurry and arranged the next things in an orderly manner."
"From cooking us soothing soup, to sorting out air tickets, and then to Give the cigarette to Lao Wang and let her concentrate. Every move is just right and very appropriate.”
"For a person who does such a beautiful job, I believe he won't lie."
Xu Fan is also an old man in the world. Of course, she knows which one is more reliable, what she has heard or what she has seen.
When I saw it today, it was indeed better to see it than to hear it a hundred times.
"Yes, he took care of the air ticket easily. How did it get involved?" Lin Cong then remembered.
"I don't know, but Guoli told me that the crew of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" encountered trouble on the first day of filming, and this guy solved it."
"Ah..." Lin Cong became more and more surprised.
"We play cards just to expand our connections. Well, I think this Zhang Yuan, although young, can still be regarded as a connection."
Lin Cong remained silent, and after thinking for a long time, he agreed. Xu Fan’s statement.
……
A few days later, Zhang Yuan got on a plane to Dali.
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", like the crews of other Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series, has a tight shooting schedule.
So it will not have a few weeks of training time like "Eternal Dragon Sword" and "Tian Long Ba Bu".
After all the hard work, half of the film has been shot!
This is also the reason for the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas. Weight, emphasis on effect, not quality.
Of course, it is nothing compared to the mainland TV drama circle that is developing rapidly, crazily involving, and competing for higher investment and better quality.
However, after Hong Kong and Taiwan were basically swept into the corner, the mainland film and television industry entered a state of drawing swords and looking around at a loss. This ushered in the era of traffic, and the stage of great competition followed.
After landing, there were no connecting vehicles, so I had to take a taxi to the set.
After driving Luoluo to the location, the construction workers have not yet evacuated. It seems that the crew plans to build while filming.
The existing set was introduced by Zhang Yuan and used the "leftovers" from the "Dragon Movie" crew.
So the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very close to the crew of "Dragon" which is in the final stage. It can be reached in fifteen minutes on foot.
"Director Li, Director Chen, hello." Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said hello to the two core members of the crew.
Of course Li Huizhu is the official director, but screenwriter Chen Shisan also holds the title of assistant director, so Zhang Yuan is regarded as a director.
The two men's attitude toward him was neither salty nor cold. They were quite polite, but not very enthusiastic.
After all, in their minds, choosing Zhang Yuan was more of an exchange of interests and a compromise. They still couldn't forget Nie Yuan's performance.
I arrived at the set at noon, just after dinner, and then held a new film press conference in the afternoon. The schedule was extremely tight.
Dozens of media reporters were present, and many Baodao media were also busy waiting early.
They are working so hard because Yang Dengkui, the leader of the Tiandao Alliance, will personally appear today.
Lao Deng... No, Lao Yang gave himself and his son the title of producer and investor, so it was very reasonable for him to come forward. At the same time, he also wanted to support himself and his son Xu Xiyuan.
The starring team entered the venue one by one under the introduction of the host.
Not to mention Xu Xiyuan and Chen Xiaodong, Wu Jing and Hongye's Xuanxuan, who played Zhuge Liuyun, were also illuminated by a lot of flash lights.
"Now we invite you, the actor who plays the Seven Nights Demon Lord, Zhang Yuan!"
The leading actors turned to look at the stage. Zhang Yuan entered wearing a suit, the same suit he wore to Treasure Island... Because this is the only formal suit he has.
歘欻欻...
Click, click, click, click...
The sound of opening the door and the sound of flashing lights accompanied his appearance on the stage.
Although the excitement was not as high as that of Xu Xiyuan and Chen Xiaodong, it was no less exciting than Wu Jing and Xuanxuan.
The people on the stage were quite surprised.
“Who is this?”
“Why is it so popular?”
As soon as I joined the group, I held a press conference directly, and the actors didn’t even have time to get to know each other. , naturally unfamiliar.
You know, Wu Jing has already starred in "The Master of Tai Chi" and the popular "Little Li Flying Knife", and is considered a popular niche actor in mainland China.
If he hadn't lost his head because of his obsession with fishing for women in Hong Kong and insisted on going to Hong Kong Island to develop, he might not have wasted many years in the future with such a great start.
Not to mention Xuanxuan, who was very successful in TVB in the early 1990s, including "Royal No. 1", "Heaven and Earth Man", "Pet Love", "Redress of Wrongs"... There are countless masterpieces.
But these two people suddenly discovered an actor who was no less popular than themselves, but who was extraordinarily naive, and their curiosity suddenly aroused.
A few minutes later, all the actors were in place, standing in front of a huge promotional background.
Zhang Yuan consciously came to the corner.
"Now we invite our producer, Mr. Yang Dengkui, a famous film and television investor, to make a grand appearance!"
Lao Deng walked onto the stage and greeted the media while clapping his hands. , while looking at the actors on the stage. Zhang Yuan, who was standing at the end of the team, nodded to him, and Yang Dengkui smiled back.
Once the boss is in place and lined up, it’s time to take a group photo.
At this time, Lao Yang waved his hand towards Zhang Yuan: "Come here."
Zhang Yuan pointed at himself.
"What are you doing hiding in the corner? Come over here." Yang Dengkui moved forward himself, tugged on his sleeve and pulled him to the center of the team.
Originally, Yang Dengkui was in the center, with Xu Xiyuan and Chen Xiaodong on his left and right, followed by Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan, and the rest were sorted by position.
Now Lao Deng pulled him to his side and directly squeezed Chen Xiaodong out of the "inner circle".
Chen Xiaodong was stunned.
I am Ning Caichen. Is it okay to be pushed aside by the Seven Nights Demon Lord?
What he didn’t know was that this little “accident” at the press conference seemed to be God’s perfect prediction for his future life on the set.
He was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Whoever dares to stroke Yang Dengkui’s hair will have to laugh with him.
When the other actors saw this, they all held their breath and did not dare to say anything.
Especially Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan, they almost scared their glasses off!
“Fuck, this guy knows Mr. Yang!”
“And it looks like we have a good relationship.”
“It’s hard to die... luckily I chose him. , if you choose Nie Yuan and eliminate him, wouldn’t it rub Mr. Yang’s back?”
"I missed it and escaped!"
Both of them had a sense of exhaustion after a disaster.
"I heard from the people below that you helped the crew with the scenery. Thank you very much." Yang Dengkui turned sideways and said with a smile.
"You should do things for Mr. Yang." Zhang Yuan also turned his head and whispered in Lao Deng's ear.
“Hahahaha, okay, I saw you right, you really have a future.”
At the wine table earlier, Yang Dengkui casually mentioned that he had a new movie to film.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan agreed immediately without even asking about the specific content or team members.
Lao Yangtou thought at that time that this boy was quite good at life, but he didn’t think much about it.
After he sobered up, he casually talked to the company, and the people below informed the crew and sent him an audition notice.
Yang Dengkui did not appear in person during the whole process, so the crew did not know that Zhang Yuan and Lao Yangtou knew each other. They only thought they were related to some actor or leader in the company.
Now I find that it is indeed a related household, but the relationship is a bit big, and it is too high.
From Yang Dengkui's point of view, he just said it casually after a drink.
This young man was quite serious and came to the set to act.
In the eyes of Jianghu people, this is a sign of loyalty.
At the same time, in his eyes, it is also a kind of respect for himself.
Moreover, Yang Dengkui's main sphere of influence is on Treasure Island. If the crew has problems on the mainland, it will be difficult for him to intervene.
Zhang Yuan downplayed it and asked the crew to spend a little money to solve the big trouble.
Of course Yang Dengkui was happy to see him.
But there is another reason for being so enthusiastic about him.
Interview stage...
"Hello Zhang Yuan, I am a reporter from Didu TV. The ratings of "The Golden Family" in which you participated have been soaring after it was aired. What do you think of this?"
A reporter was selected Finally, he stood up and asked.
That's right, "Golden Pink Family" was launched, and it became popular as it should be.
The theme song "Secret Fragrance" was directly airborne, dominating the music charts.
Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang had just finished filming their scenes in "Dragon" and they went on non-stop promotions with the crew of "The Golden Family".
Li Dawei called him a few days ago and asked if he was willing to participate in the promotion.
Of course, no extra money...
Zhang Yuan declined on the grounds that he had a job.
I didn’t expect that the monk could not escape the temple, and he was blocked by reporters again.
In a press conference, reporters asked dozens of questions, and 30% of them pointed to Zhang Yuan and "The Golden Family." Those who were so confused almost forgot that this was the press conference of "A Chinese Ghost Story."
Yang Dengkui was happy and even felt that he had made a lot of money!
I just made a good connection and gained so much popularity for the crew out of thin air. Of course I made a profit.
The press conference seemed to have become half of his home court, attracting other starring actors to look at him from time to time.
"I should get to know him if I have a chance..."
This is what several people thought.
When it was over, Yang Dengkui chatted with Zhang Yuan for a few more words before leaving, asking him to have a drink with him when he went to Treasure Island.
Naturally he agreed, and after sending each other off with smiles, Zhang Yuancai returned to the filming location with the rest of the crew.
Now I have time to pack my luggage and go to the hotel to check in.
Coincidentally...
“Hey, Zhang Yuan, we meet again!”
While he was waiting for the room key, he suddenly heard a rough male voice.
"Brother Jun?"
"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuan did not expect that they would meet here again after being away for more than a month.
“I live here.”
“I live here too.”
Not only did the two crews "share" some scenes, they even booked a hotel together.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that it is not only a press conference, this is really half of my home court."
