Studio, film and television city.
Everyone in the martial arts school signed an understanding agreement with the crew, took the pitiful compensation of hundreds of thousands, and quickly got on the bus and ran home in despair.
As for how much of this money will fall into the hands of injured students who are hospitalized, Zhang Yuan has no control over it.
He is now settling accounts with Yu Min!
“Director Yu, look.”
"I was beaten while filming..."
Yu Min's face became tense.
Were you beaten?
The one who beat him is lying in the hospital, and the one who was beaten is here alive and well...
But he did not dare to speak.
"The crew has to pay for medical expenses, lost work expenses, nutritional expenses, and later rehabilitation expenses, right?" He counted with Yu Min on his fingers.
"The current chief director of the crew is Ju Jueliang." Yu Min quickly cleared the relationship.
"But my injury happened during your directing." Zhang Yuan looked at the other party with his standard "innocent" eyes.
“You can’t argue.”
“What if a reporter asks about my injury?”
"You can't say that the crew doesn't care about me at all."
Yu Min frowned, knowing that Zhang Yuan was threatening him.
Only now did he understand why Zhao Jian told him to be careful and not provoke Zhang Yuan.
This kid deceives people. Not only is he extremely thick-skinned, but his tactics are extremely dark, he also has no psychological burden at all.
“How about you discuss it with Producer Zhang.”
"Okay." After agreeing, Yu Min hurriedly left without looking back.
Zhang Yuan looked at his leaving back and shook his head.
“I really don’t know what Big Beard sees in him besides being obedient.”
He came to Zhao Decai again and said a few words to him.
"Mr. Zhao, I'll call you about today's loss."
"What are you talking about!" Fatty Zhao immediately waved his hand.
"This little thing is nothing, I should support my brothers." He patted his chest.
"By the way, I just saw a pretty actress. Why don't you introduce me to her."
"You want me to pimp you?" Zhang Yuan scratched his head.
Although I live in a pimp alley, you can't let me do this job.
"What do you call talking, pimping, making friends..." Fatty Zhao immediately retorted.
“Is he a serious friend when you talk about making friends?”
“You don’t care if I am serious or not, I agree with you.”
Asked , what he was interested in was not the big actor, but the woman who played Lin Chaoying in the film. She graduated from Chinese opera and was not well-known. She was characterized by a small waist and big breasts... which suited his taste very well.
He just wanted to get acquainted. Anyway, in this circle of sugar daddies, it’s not unusual to find someone with money.
As Fatty Zhao said, everyone gets what he needs.
He, a coal boss, just wants to sleep with an actress, what bad intentions can he have?
"It was too dangerous just now." When everything settled down, Liu Qianqian came to him with a grimace: "What would we have done today if Mr. Yu hadn't come forward?"
She was worried. , it means Zhang Yuan hurts others and himself.
"Then have you ever thought about the possibility that I was the one who found Mr. Yu."
"Ah!" Xiao Longnu finally reacted.
“You don’t like this kind of fighting and killing scene?”
“No.” She replied with a frown.
"Guess, do I like it?" Zhang Yuan sat on the street edge, feeling particularly tired.
“You are well protected, so you don’t have to face this.”
"But I'm different."
Liu Qianqian also squatted beside him, thought for a while, and said again: "I don't like it, but I understand you."
"That's enough ."
"Hey."
At this time, his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that the caller was Mr. Xing, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Do you have time recently to do some promotion?"
Oh, "Kung Fu" is about to be released!
He did not answer immediately, but ran to find Ju Jueliang.
“Oh, Zhang Yuan, I owe you today.” Fatty Ju had just finished calling Big Beard to complain, and was pulling on his clothes to cool off.
"If you hadn't brought in so many people, we would have been miserable today."
"Even if no one was hurt, the props and equipment on the set might not be safe."
[Received Thanks from Ju Jueliang, director +1! 】
“We are all from the same crew, as we should.” Zhang Yuan smiled and replied, “I treat the crew as my own family.”
“Okay.” Ju Jueliang was still treating Zhang Yuan at first I was a little worried about taking away Yu Min, but now that this happened, I am no longer bothered.
Then, he whispered again.
"You asked Yu Min to go to Big Beard to ask for medical expenses?"
"Yes."
"You are so brave." Fatty Ju shook his head gently.
I didn’t know that Lao Zhang belongs to Pixiu.
This was the first time he saw an actor who dared to ask for money from Lao Zhang, and he thought that this kid was simply audacious.
But Lao Zhang seemed helpless, which made people feel... very happy!
You bearded man also has today!
"By the way, director, did I do well today?"
"Okay."
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"It's beautiful...what are you going to do?" Ju Jueliang asked cautiously.
"Hehehe...it's nothing, I want to take a leave." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
“What to do?”
“Go to the Imperial Capital to attend a movie conference.”
Fatty Ju's eyes widened.
In the bearded crew, asking for money and asking for leave to take on other jobs... you are considered the first person.
Zhang Yuan’s plan is that he and Big Beard will break up after filming this movie anyway, so why should I accommodate him?
He Zhang Jizhong has offended a lot of people in the industry, and he can’t do anything to me, so I’m still panicking.
After thinking for a long time, Fatty Ju gave his answer.
"I'll give you leave!"
"Sick leave, I don't know what you did during your sick leave." Ju Jueliang is an old man who doesn't stick to the pan.
"Okay, one day is enough."
That night, he took a plane to the imperial capital.
"Kung Fu" will hold a film press conference there.
Another reason why Zhang Yuan dared to go was because Hua Yi had pitched the film.
I’m going to give Xiao Wang some face, so you, Lao Zhang, don’t dare to say anything more.
Early the next morning, the grand banquet hall of a five-star hotel in the Imperial Capital was already crowded.
More than a hundred journalists attended the meeting.
The film’s actors and crew executives, as well as investors, came in droves.
Not only Yuan Heping, Wang Zhonglei, but also Yang Buting, the boss of China Film Group, came.
This man would later become the deputy director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau.
Now he is just a senior executive of China Film, but later he became the chairman of China Film after Lao Han and Lao La, and also served as the chairman of China Film Overseas Promotion Company.
Basically he has become one of the top talkers in the Chinese film industry both internally and externally.
Originally, Star Master was soft-blocked because "Shaolin Soccer" was released in Hong Kong before it was reviewed, which offended the radio and television.
It's just a matter of Lao Yang's appearance.
So the producer of "Kung Fu" named him, the king, and Wang Zhongjun.
“Let’s invite our director, Mr. Stephen Chow, to make his debut!”
Accompanied by the host’s resonant voice, Mr. Star wore his signature shy smile , taking small steps, came behind the long table.
Picked up the microphone and said some very standard scene words in less than standard Mandarin.
"Welcome everyone."
"Thank you for your hard work..."
"I hope the audience will like our works..."
In fact, he didn't need to speak, he just walked there The station is so popular that the flashlights are on non-stop, to the point where you can be blinded.
Then the leading actors appeared one by one.
"We have our female number one, Miss Huang Shengyi!" Mr. Xing personally picked up the microphone and introduced him. After all, this is a contracted artist of his company.
Miss Huang wore a snow-white skirt today, which looked exquisite and a little noble.
"We invite our twelve-year-old Tan Leg, Shi Xingyu..."
"Zhao Zhilin..."
"Dong Zhihua..."
These people came to reporters at Xingye's call.
Unlike Miss Huang, these guys all have skills.
When they came up, they each demonstrated the signature kung fu of the characters in the film, which was a little surprise at the press conference. At the end, Master Xing raised his hand and shouted loudly.
“Please invite our Ax Gang boss, Zhang Yuan!”
Bang!
Among all the actors, Xingye is the first, and Zhang Yuan is the big one.
After all, he is now the most popular actor in this film besides Xingye.
Wang Zhonglei smiled and clapped. He might not have met Zhang Yuan for a long time.
But just as Mr. Xing finished speaking, the lights in the audience suddenly dimmed.
At the same time, several spotlights suddenly lit up.
Thum, thump, thump, thump...
Then, all the reporters heard the sound of uniform footsteps.
A group of Ax Gang members in black suits, black trousers, white shirts and black ties walked to the stage holding prop axes.
Master Xing smiled and stepped aside.
"Did you arrange it?" Yang Buting asked with a smile.
"Yes, let's do a little trick." Mr. Xing greeted the mainland movie boss with a smile.
"Well, publicity is very important." Yang Buting agreed with this approach and said to himself that Zhou Xingchi is Zhou Xingchi after all, and he still has a way of making movies.
As long as he can make money for himself, supporting him is not in vain.
Wow!
Everyone stood still, and then the Ax Gang soundtrack from the movie started playing.
Twenty or so members of the Ax Gang flashed out of the way like Moses parting the sea.
At this time, Zhang Yuancai, who played Brother Chen, walked up to the reporters with the same dance steps as in the movie and began to lead the dance.
This dance is not difficult, just like the one in the movie.
Anyway, it was his play, and he was very familiar with it.
Moreover, the accompanying dancers today were all professional dancers. Even if they were just temporary partners, they did a good job.
"Hahahaha...ha!"
After a long time, just like in the movie, amidst the shouts of the Ax Gang, everyone raised their axes high, this weird and evil scene The dance comes to an end and everyone disperses.
Master Xing stood up while applauding, planning to come to the crowd to introduce him.
But at this moment, a "little brother" next to Zhang Yuan unexpectedly lost his hand while raising the ax and fell to the ground.
When Master Xing saw this, his expression immediately stiffened.
Stage accident.
He is a perfectionist, otherwise he would be known as a "tyrant on the set".
Only a top master like Uncle Da could catch him. After Uncle Da was gone, Master Xing wanted to promote Lin Zicong, but compared to Uncle Da, the fat man was really far behind.
Zhang Yuan has always believed that Wu Mengda's acting skills are among the best in Hong Kong, the kind that are half-step into the realm.
Master Xing gritted his teeth. There were so many reporters filming it. When it is released tomorrow, it will not only appear that the crew is incompetent and unprofessional.
People in Xiangjiang also believe in Feng Shui and luck. If there is an accident at the press conference, this is very unfortunate!
Zhang Yuan also caught a glimpse. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned, turned around and raised his legs.
Boom!
He kicked the errant dancer to the ground.
He used clever force. The moment his feet came into contact with the opponent's body, he slowed down. It looked like he was being kicked, but in reality it was more like he was pushed out.
In addition, there was a red carpet on the ground. Although this person fell to the ground in surprise, it didn't actually hurt.
Immediately, Zhang Yuan came to the fallen man and looked at him condescendingly. At the same time, he raised the ax in his hand and swung it down violently.
One, two, three times!
The strength and movements are breathtaking.
Many reporters' eyelids jumped when they saw this.
This guy can’t really be killing people, right?
"Scream!" Zhang Yuan said in a low voice to the man while slashing: "Scream!"
This man was also frightened and did not react.
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly and kicked the Huantiao point on the side of this man's thigh with the tip of his leather shoe.
"Ouch!"
"Oh!"
"Ah..."
This made him shout.
Zhang Yuan struck with more than a dozen axes in a row, and kicked his feet many times, his whole body swaying and gasping for air.
He was so tired from killing people, he was a heavy smoker after all.
The other backup dancers on the side looked sideways in horror, not knowing what was going on.
After Zhang Yuan finished cutting, he returned to his original position.
At this time, his hair was messy and his eyes were still slightly red from the previous injury.
You don’t even need to act in this state, it’s enough to scare children wherever you stand.
"Ha!" Zhang Yuan shouted loudly, returned to the crowd again, and suddenly raised his axe.
I immediately understood who Mr. Xing was and what his reaction was.
“Bah, bang, bang!”
“Thanks to our Ax Gang members for bringing this little show.”
He quickly pretended that everything was arranged. , come up and applaud to guide.
Zhang Yuan also stopped his movements and helped the last person up.
"It didn't hurt you, right?"
"No, no...thank you."
[Received a thank you from Hu Zhou, +1 for dance basics! 】
This backup dancer finally understood.
They are saving themselves!
I just made a mistake at such an important press conference. Regardless of whether I can get my salary today, no one will give me work in the future.
Now that the performance was taking advantage of the situation, when the reporters clapped their hands and applauded, they obviously did not realize that it was a mistake. One of them acted on purpose.
This is considered as a way to get over it.
The backup dancer left the stage with gratitude.
After Zhang Yuan bowed, he came to the podium and sat down firmly.
Master Xing quietly gave him a thumbs up under the table.
【Received thanks from Zhou Xingchi, acting +1! 】
Next, it’s time to ask questions, and all kinds of questions are naturally inevitable.
Follow the process and the press conference will end successfully in an hour or two.
"The skit just now was very exciting." After the press conference, Yang Buting pulled Xingye and said.
“Especially the last part of killing people, it was very unexpected, I didn’t expect it, the effect is so good.”
Xing Ye smiled awkwardly: “I didn’t expect it either.”
"What?"
"That was not planned." Master Xing pointed to Zhang Yuan who was chatting with Wang Zhonglei.
"It was a mistake. He made up for it temporarily and came up with the subsequent content."
"Oh!" Yang Buting also looked at Zhang Yuan's profile.
"Then he is very powerful. His reaction was so fast, I didn't even notice it."
"Yes, I was shocked too." Mr. Xing said thankfully.
Zhang Yuan's improvisation just now was a life saver for a perfectionist like him.
"Well, then go over and get to know our young actor who reacts quickly." Yang Buting suddenly became interested.
"How are you on the crew of Big Beard?" At this time, Xiao Wang was chatting with Zhang Yuan.
"It went smoothly." Zhang Yuan returned.
“Your eyes?” Xiao Wang saw his red eyes.
"A little accident on the set..." Zhang Yuan gave a rough summary of what happened before.
Telling Xiao Wang can be considered as insurance for yourself. After all, the bearded man depends on Wang Zhonglei's face.
"This big beard!" Xiao Wang shook his head: "The leading actor can be beaten even when filming a movie, the management is too bad."
"Now the director has changed, there are already many "
"It's time to change!" Xiao Wang glared: "If Yu Min were mine, I would have called someone to mess with him! Wang said Nong, but it was real Nong in the physical sense.
Wang Zhonglei is also angry.
I put aside Huang Xiaoming, who I was originally optimistic about, and spent such a high price to support Zhang Yuan. It's better for you, and I almost had an accident.
The Wang brothers are very arrogant. When they like you, they risk death. Of course, when they hate you, they risk death.
"Before, "A World Without Thieves" did well at the box office, and you performed very well." Xiao Wang said with a smile: "I hope "Kung Fu" will do so well this time."
" I believe in your investment vision," Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Xiao Wang smiled and patted his shoulder.
At this moment, Yang Buting’s Xingye happened to come behind him.
But before these two people could speak, another person called him first.
"Zhang Yuan, long time no see."
"Eighth Master, long time no see."
The person who called him was none other than Yuan Hepin, the film's martial arts director.
Behind him were brothers and sisters Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiao.
After greeting each other, Master Ba finally spoke.
"Are you free in a while?"
Zhang Yuan thought.
oh?
Baye asked me if I had time. He probably had a movie to shoot! (End of this chapter)
