After a while.
Seeing Zhang Yuan sitting motionless on the floor of the hotel with a worried look on his face, Zeng Li stepped forward and asked.
"Teacher Fu Biao just passed away at the Armed Police General Hospital in the Imperial Capital."
The man who "wanted to replenish calcium for the collective Chinese entertainment industry" is gone after all.
“Is it that teacher Fu Biao?” Zeng Li’s eyes widened.
"Yes, that's him." Zhang Yuan took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket on the ground.
If I didn’t smoke it, it wouldn’t be good to smell it in a girl’s room.
Just put it under my nose and smell it.
“Are you familiar with him?” Dalizi squatted down.
“We have filmed together, but although we are on the same crew, we have no opposite roles.”
"But he is a senior after all, and he is also an excellent and respectable actor."
"I heard before that he had a successful liver transplant, right?" Zeng Li is also in the imperial circle, so naturally he has heard about it.
“Relapse, this is fate.” Zhang Yuan said helplessly with a chuckle.
When Leslie Cheung passed away, even though he was a superstar, he was still shocked and the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.
But although he felt it, it was not that deep.
After all, he has never met Leslie Cheung.
But Teacher Fu Biao not only met, but also had drinks and meals together.
An acquaintance passed away. Even though we knew he would pass away, the feeling of having a piece of his heart taken out was still very uncomfortable.
This man is only forty-two.
Judging from his current trend, if given another ten years or even five years, he could become a top comedy actor on par with Ge You.
But destiny cannot be violated. Even if he reminded the other party during the filming of "A World Without Thieves", he still could not save the overall situation.
"What are you going to do?" the woman beside asked softly.
"There will be a memorial service in Babaoshan in three days. I have to go there." Zhang Yuan stood up and put on his clothes.
“I’m going back to my room first.”
“Hey.”
After Zhang Yuan left, Zeng Li hugged his shoulders and bit his thumb nail.
Suddenly, a feeling of emptiness came over her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
......
The sadness caused by the death of his old friend made Zhang Yuan temporarily lose interest in physical pleasure.
After he returned to the house, he called Huang Weimin.
This person would stay up until midnight every day looking at the material shot that day, and he had to keep an eye on things at the animation company, so he was a night owl.
After asking about the subsequent scenes, it was determined that the filming would only take two or three days.
Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to ask for leave.
Otherwise Cai Yinong will definitely have to draw circles and curse herself again.
After booking a ticket back to the imperial capital, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, after washing up and planning to rush to the set, he received another call.
This time it was not Director Feng who called.
"Haozi, how are you?"
After a night of repair, his mood has basically recovered, and he greeted Ning Hao on the other side of the phone with a smile.
"Crazy Stone" has entered the final stage of preparation, and he is here to report on his work.
Of course, it’s not just about reporting.
This big head is very smart, and he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
“Now the crew has decided to shoot in the mountain city.”
“In this way, at least half the cost will be saved compared to the previously planned Xiangjiang.”
Jewelry Thief, this After listening to the content, everyone began to focus on Xiangjiang, a land that is "vibrant and full of vitality and where all things are flourishing".
After all, it makes sense that there are gangsters and thieves there.
But due to cost constraints, Ning Hao still compromised.
But shooting in a mountain city is also very difficult.
After all, the filming location is in the city, not a film and television city, and there are too many units to coordinate.
“Damn it, a small shop offered me a one thousand yuan an hour shooting fee.”
"They are all crazy about money!"
Ning Hao complained that he originally wanted to shoot near the Jiefangbei, but because the businessman's lion was too open, he changed it to Ciqikou.
“There is also car rental. I found a Ferrari, but it cost me 10,000 yuan a day. You can’t afford to rent a car, otherwise you will have to lose money.”
Zhang Yuanting The other party complained, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
"Haha..." He chuckled.
"Speak directly if you have something to say, stop beating around the bush!"
"Hehehehe..." Ning Haohan laughed.
"I, let's do some on-the-spot investigation, and after investigation, we found that... the budget must be a little bit exceeded."
Zhang Yuanxin said, I have already heard the pronunciation of your words!
Complain about this one for cheating and complain about that one for spending money.
It turned out that the purpose was not to ask me for money!
He and Brother Hua each contributed 1.5 million, and the total budget was only 3 million, which is indeed not much.
A slow-paced literary film like "Green Red" cost millions.
"Crazy Stone" is action-packed and suspenseful. Even though the pay was the lowest, it was still tight.
"We brothers shouldn't talk about two families. Let's just tell you how much we still need."
"Hahaha, we calculated it carefully and conservatively!" Ning Hao kept making predictions.
"It's probably still short of...500,000."
Ning Hao said this number with his eyes closed, he was afraid that Zhang Yuan, as an investor, would scold him.
Asking for money is the hardest thing in the world.
But Zhang Yuan picked at his fingernails calmly.
For him now, 500,000 is a lot of money, but not a big number.
"Not much." he returned.
Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
“But I can’t pay for it.”
But Zhang Yuan’s next words made Ning Hao’s heart drop.
"If you don't come forward, then I'll ask Brother Hua?"
"We can't let Brother Hua come out either." Zhang Yuan returned.
"Then do you want me to go out and find the money myself?" Ning Hao was confused.
"I will help you find investment, you don't have to worry." Zhang Yuan already has a plan.
“Besides money, there is something else I want to tell you.”
"There is a female character in the movie, she is the woman of Brother Dao, the boss of the bandit group."
"Yes." Ning Hao replied.
“This character doesn’t have many roles, but his role is quite crucial, right.”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I will find this role. People are here to act, so you don’t have to worry about it, just use it when you are free," Zhang Yuan arranged.
"Ah..." Ning Hao thought, is Zhang Yuan planning to praise which actress?
Could it be his woman?
“Okay, I understand.”
It’s not a problem for an investor to play a small role, it’s perfectly normal.
“Also, you asked me to make a guest appearance.”
"I thought about it and decided not to make a cameo. Find me a main role."
"At least it can increase the popularity of the film."
"I can give you your salary. I can’t afford it,” Ning Hao joked.
“I’ll give you Director Ning a free job, that’s all.”
It’s my own film anyway, and if it grosses more money, it goes into my own pocket, so of course I have to be careful.
"Hehehe, that doesn't mean I saved several million more." Ning Hao held him in his arms and said.
It’s hard to say how many million his salary is now, but one or two million is still stable.
“That’s all, there are other things.”
“It’s nothing, just some trivial troubles.”
“What?”
"Actor." Ning Hao became distressed again: "We have no money, and the salary is very small."
"Bo only gets 10,000 yuan."
"That's one of our own, so it's easy to talk about it." .”
“But others can’t give much.”
“Several people are hesitant now.”
"Tell me what's going on." Zhang Yuan asked.
“The leading actor found Jiang Wu and Guo Tao. Jiang Wu was unavailable and went to film other movies.”
“Guo Tao offered a price of 100,000, but they are still considering it. .”
Zhang Yuan shook his head.
Teacher Jiang Wu is really bad at reading scripts.
The role of Hu Jun in the previous "Lan Yu" was cast by him from the beginning.
As a result, he didn't go.
At this moment, "Crazy Stone" is not here either.
“Also, for the role of the four-eyed secretary in the script, I actually have an actor I like very much, but he doesn’t want to come because he doesn’t have enough money and the crew environment is bad.”
"Four eyes..." Upon hearing this, a squirrel face with rabbit teeth appeared in Zhang Yuan's mind.
"Who is making such a grand show?" he asked with a smile.
“A local actor from Bashu seems to be very right, and he is also ugly. He is especially suitable for our play!”
Zhang Yuan:...
You If you put it this way, will my appearance hinder the crew?
As expected, it was that person.
"Don't worry, I know this guy well, I'll deal with him."
"Do you know him?" Ning Hao said in surprise.
“We got to know each other right away.”
Ning Hao put down his phone blankly.
“Are all handsome people so confident?”
...
It’s hard for others to say, but Wang Xun can really handle it.
Zhang Yuan asked Ning Hao for a phone number and called him directly.
“Hello.”
Soon after, a greeting with a Sichuan and Sichuan accent came from the other side of the phone.
"Senior brother, hello." Zhang Yuan shouted cheerfully.
"Senior brother?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zhang Yuan, I am an actor."
"Zhang Yuan ?" Wang Xun felt that he had heard of it, and it sounded familiar.
He should be a film and television actor, quite young and handsome... Wang Xun recalled it. But why did he call me senior brother?
There is a saying here.
First of all, Wang Xun is a famous cross talk actor in Sichuan and Chongqing, and he is also the backbone of the local art troupe.
In 1998, I participated in the first Bashu Comedian Competition and was spotted by Ouyang Fenqiang... the one who played Jia Baoyu, he was also from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Moreover, while Wang Xun won the title of Top Ten Laughing Stars of Bashu, he was also introduced to Emei Factory by Ouyang Fenqiang and began to get involved in the film and television industry.
That night, when he came home from get off work, he received a call from Emei Factory saying that a film crew was hiring.
Wang Xun rushed over.
When we arrived at the place, it was almost twelve o'clock.
As soon as he entered the room, he immediately lost his face.
More than ten people were crowded into the old dormitory of more than ten square meters!
They were all chattering and smoking at the same time, and it was very smoky.
The assistant gave him a page of lines and character notes, and then took the DV and asked him to start the audition.
There is no separate room, so I tried it in front of a dozen people who were noisy.
Calling me to come to such an outrageous pheasant crew in the middle of the night... This is what Wang Xun was thinking at the time.
There is not even a formal audition room, nor is there a professional machine to shoot the audition short film, so just a home DV...
What good things can this small crew produce.
Wang Xun’s heart felt cold at that time.
I think it’s okay if this kind of crew doesn’t come.
He didn’t even want to attend the audition, he just wanted to go home.
But at this point, he turned around and left, and the introducer at the Emei Factory couldn't get away with it.
He could only say the words in a cold and very unhappy manner, and then turned around and left.
As a result, the next day, he received a call from Ning Hao after watching the short film.
“When will you come to the crew for a fitting?”
After seeing his performance, Ning Hao had only one idea.
"I just like his unruly look!"
Because in the film, the four-eyed secretary is a villain who tries to flatter others. Except for the boss, he is always arrogant and indifferent when facing others. Li's cold attitude.
Wang Xun’s condition and performance that day were simply perfect!
No matter how enthusiastic Ning Hao was, he was very hesitant when faced with the salary of 10,000 yuan and the treatment that day, plus the burden of being one of the top ten laughing stars in Bashu.
The reason why Zhang Yuan took over the job of handling him is because of his cross talk heritage!
This master's name is Yang Ziyang.
Mr. Yang Ziyang is the apprentice of Master Hou Baolin.
In other words, Wang Xun is a disciple of the Hou family.
After Zhang Yuan paid homage to Mr. Hou, according to this calculation, he and Wang Xun were from the same school and of the same generation. The other one was older, so of course he would be called senior brother.
And not only that!
Wang Xun is also the inheritor of local comedy in Sichuan and Chongqing.
His comedy master is called Shen Fa, and Master Shen Fa is called Wang Yongsuo.
When Mr. Hou went to the mountain city to study comedy with a teacher, he lived in the same room with Zhang Guoli.
The master he was looking for was Wang Yongsuo!
So from the perspective of comedy inheritance, Hou Yuewen is Wang Xun’s uncle.
This made Zhang Yuan and Wang Xun even more intimate.
"So that's it, hello, junior brother!" After hearing this, Wang Xun bared his front teeth in joy.
"That's one of my own. If you have a chance to come to the mountain city, I'll treat you. I'll make sure to treat you well."
"That's a coincidence. I'll be going to the mountain city to film a movie in a while."< br>
“I heard that you were also hired for that drama.”
"What play?"
After Zhang Yuan explained, Wang Xun suddenly realized.
"It turns out that you invested in this film."
"Yes, how about you do me a favor, just for the sake of the face of my fellow disciples."
< br>Zhang Yuan said so, and Wang Xun naturally agreed.
He turned around and called Ning Hao back.
On the other end of the phone, Ning Hao was silent for a long time.
Are all handsome people so attractive?
Everyone who talks nonsense will consider it.
He made the decision within ten minutes after making a phone call...
"You should keep an eye on the character matter, and I will handle the investment matter."
After Zhang Yuan chatted with him, seeing that the time was almost up, he turned around and went to the set.
"Zhang Yuan, the filming will be completed in a few days. Do you want to go back to the imperial capital together?" Yang Mi asked during a break in filming.
"Okay."
"That's just right for you to go shopping with me." She immediately planned.
"No, I have to attend a memorial service after I return to the imperial capital." Zhang Yuan replied with a serious face.
And briefly talked to her.
"Then I'll go with you." Yang Mi heard that it was a celebrity funeral.
There would definitely be many big names in the entertainment industry attending the funeral, so she returned immediately.
Zhang Yuan looked at her coldly: "You are not qualified."
Yang Mi immediately covered her chest, pouted and lowered her head.
She didn’t know whether Zhang Yuan said that she was not qualified to accompany him or that she was not qualified to go to the funeral.
Actually, she thought too much and was not qualified for both...
But Zhang Yuan's cold attitude made her even more excited.
"Being so mean to me..." the girl muttered.
"But he was so polite to Zeng Li and even went to her room."
Thinking of this, Yang Mi felt that his back molars were tightening.
Sour.
Not only are my teeth sour, my heart is also sour.
The next morning, Zhang Yuan saw a few more acquaintances on the set.
"Brother Xiaozhi."
"Sister Bingbing!"
"Xin...you seem to be a little more mellow."
The "Xiao Cui" unit is about to start shooting, and we will continue to The file of "Xiao Qian".
The three starring actors are all his acquaintances.
Li Bingbing, Lin Zhiying and Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at him: "You've just gained weight!"
She looks more and more like Concubine Hua... Zhang Yuan smiled and greeted several people.
Last year Lin Zhiying also made a movie with Liu Qianqian that was not very good.
Then rumors began to spread on the Internet that Liu Qianqian was secretly in love with Lin Zhiying, and Liu Xiaoli beat the couple.
The two paired up after "Dragon", which really aroused people's imagination.
But it’s more just for movie promotion.
The formation of CP during the hype period is not something that happens in a day or two. Many people in the future will even write it into the publicity part of the contract.
This is what contract couples say.
The two had a good personal relationship and it was beneficial to the promotion of the film, so they did not seek clarification from the media.
"We will be our own people from now on."
Zhang Yuan glanced at Li Bingbing, who was smiling warmly in front of him, and thought to himself, I have heard these words of yours many times recently.
“Of course, if there are good movies and good roles in the future, sister Bingbing, don’t forget to introduce me to one of your own.”
“Don’t call me old, sister. You don’t want to hear it, you know?” Li Bingbing rolled her eyes at him.
"Will you go to Teacher Fu's funeral in two days?" This person turned around and asked.
"I'm going."
"Let me give you a bouquet of flowers then." Sister Li lowered her eyebrows and said lightly.
She couldn't go because of her schedule.
"No problem, just get what you want."
After chatting with a few people for a while, he went back to his group to continue working.
One day later.
Zhang Yuan wore Ning Caichen's standard clothes and walked on the path in the mountains.
Turning around and looking back, it seemed as if a resentful female voice was calling me.
“Stuck!”
“Congratulations on finishing!”
Huang Weimin hugged him, tears filling his eyes.
He was excited that his first TV series directing was finally completed successfully.
“Without your help these days, I don’t know what to do.”
[Received a thank you from Huang Weimin, animation production +1! 】
"The animation of "Baby Girl, Good Mother" is being stepped up." Zhang Yuan patted his shoulder and said in concern.
"When this stall is finished, I will go back to the company and keep an eye on it."
"I want a hug, too." Yang Mi, who had already changed into her own clothes, was wearing a top with diamonds.
From the perspective of later generations, it may seem a bit crude, but it was popular back then.
When you hold it in your arms, it is soft and waxy, and feels good to the touch.
High-end cars have big airbags.
After greeting Boss Cai and others, he rushed to the airport.
I have to attend the funeral tomorrow morning. I have to go to bed early and get up early. I can't be late.
"You have to leave."
Before leaving the set, he went to "Painted Skin" to say hello to Zeng Li.
"Well, see you in the Imperial Capital later."
"Okay." Dalizi nodded and replied, and then asked tentatively: "That... little blue man will appear again in the future?"
"Haha..." Zhang Yuan smiled and said: " The little blue man will only appear on the set."
"Oh, I understand." Zeng Li nodded without much expression.
She understood what the other party meant, it was just a casual marriage, and she had no intention of developing a formal relationship.
"I wish you a safe journey and see you soon." She smiled and waved goodbye.
After Zhang Yuan left, Dalizi looked at his back, and the reluctance in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
She thought of the picture in her room.
Thinking of everything that happened during this period.
Fresh, exciting and unforgettable.
This was an unexpected experience that she could never have imagined before coming to the crew.
She found that Zhang Yuan was completely different from the men she had met before.
Unfortunately, it can only stop here.
"Hey..."
Leave a long sigh. (End of this chapter)
