Babaoshan.
Located in Shijingshan District, the Imperial Capital.
This place has been home to the tombs of past dynasties since ancient times.
When the Imperial Capital built Metro Line 1 in 1965, an oval-shaped ancient tomb was excavated here.
After identification, it is a group of ancient tombs of the Western Jin Dynasty.
It can be seen that this is a place with a long history where white things gather.
Today, the most famous tomb here is undoubtedly the Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery.
At this point, it has truly been said that "Qingshan is fortunate enough to bury loyal bones."
Located with the Martyrs Cemetery at No. 9 Shijingshan Road is the most famous Babaoshan Funeral Home in the Imperial Capital.
Just like the Longhua Funeral Parlor and Longhua Martyrs Cemetery in the Magic City are not too far apart, the Martyrs Cemetery and the Funeral Parlor in the Imperial Capital are even closer, on the same land.
Today, in this solemn funeral home, big names and celebrities from the Chinese film and television industry gathered together to attend the farewell ceremony of a teacher who died young with a simple face and superb acting skills.
Even though it is early autumn, the weather in the imperial capital is still very hot, but Zhang Yuan still went home and prepared a black suit with a white shirt underneath. He packed it neatly and polished his leather shoes. Just arrived early.
He dressed up carefully not to highlight his appearance, but to give the deceased the final respect.
"My condolences."
"Don't be too sad."
"Pay attention to your body."
At the door of Hall No. 3, a middle-aged woman wearing a white flower on her head is greeting the guests.
Zhang Yuan also came forward to say a few words, saying that the family members had heard the ineffective consolation hundreds of times today, and entered the room to sign his name in the protocol book.
He glanced at it and saw that "half of the country" in the Chinese entertainment industry was truly gathered in this autograph book.
"Director Feng."
"Uncle Ge."
Feng Xiaogang and his wife had arrived long ago, and Director Feng was still the host of today's funeral.
"Uncle Guoli, this is... Teacher Zhenyun."
Zhang Yuan stepped forward and greeted Zhang Guoli.
Standing next to him is the novelist Liu Zhenyun, the original author and screenwriter of "Cell Phone", "1942", and "I am Not Pan Jinlian".
It can be said that Hua Yi's decline in later generations is directly related to this person.
Same as Wang Shuo once publicly stated that he "disdained" Jin Yong's works.
This teacher Liu is even more awesome. He also said that when he was young, he thought "Journey to the West" was poorly written...
Of course he said he understood it later.
Anyway, these "literary writers" who think they can comment on current affairs look down on episodic novels.
But most ordinary people and people at the bottom love to read Zhanghui novels.
So there is a huge rift between these people and ordinary people.
Today’s eulogy was written by Liu Zhenyun and delivered by Uncle Guoli, who has the best script skills.
In addition to these few people who are very close to Fu Biao, there are also many old friends who have worked with him and are similar to him.
Because both of them were members of the Railway Art Troupe, Yang Tao, the director of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" and the general deputy director of the Railway Art Troupe, is also here. This person is also an acquaintance of Zhang Yuan, whom he has not seen for a long time. .
Lao Mouzi, Gong Li, and Li Xuejian also came. Together with Fu Biao, they performed "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge".
He Bing, who worked with Mr. Fu in "Party A and Party B", is here.
This veteran actor has superb acting skills and has contributed to countless good films. However, he later became famous on the street because of "The Back Wave".
It can be seen that people will change, from strivers to vested interests, and their heads will shake along with their buttocks.
Teacher Liu Bei came with He Bing, and Fu Biao's old friend was also her current husband Zhang Li, the bad-tempered camera director of "A World Without Thieves".
But after the couple entered the house, they suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Zhang Yuan looked on and noticed that the two of them were looking at a middle-aged man with a child.
The kid looks a little familiar.
"Mother Liu." The child shouted towards Liu Bei.
Liu Bei lowered his body and touched the child's head.
Next to her, her husband Zhang Li tugged on Liu Bei's arm. The tall actress waved to the child and turned to leave with her husband.
"Director Zhang, what have you been busy with lately...Hey, your son is getting more and more promising." Someone from the side rushed towards the father and son.
Zhang Yuan probably knows who the father and son are.
My name is Zhang Jian, and my name is Zhang Ruoyun.
The reason why the atmosphere between them is so awkward is because Zhang Jian is Liu Bei’s ex-husband.
The same goes for Liu Bei, who is looking for a scumbag...
And after teacher Liu Bei divorced Zhang Li, she remarried Zhang Jian.
I can only say that your circle is really chaotic.
Teacher Fu Biao also participated in a TV series called "Dad Goes Forward", so Chen Long and Feng Shaofeng, who co-starred with him, also came to pay tribute.
These two are still juniors, very young.
And Chen Long also brought his girlfriend Xiao Songjia.
"Teacher Song, that's okay." Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes. He is tall, long-legged, and good-looking.
After all, he was here to attend a funeral, and he had no intention of looking at women.
But just because he doesn’t have thoughts, doesn’t mean that others don’t have thoughts.
The old seductress Zhang Li stared intently at Teacher Xiao Song, who was dressed in a black skirt and a black veil on her head. She looked like a sad widow.
Director Zhang is almost a loser.
At this moment, it was Liu Bei's turn to pull her husband, just like her husband pulled him before.
"Hey... I remember Zhang Li had an affair with Teacher Song later."
"And it seems that Liu Bei divorced Lao Zhang because of her interference."
He looked at Chen Long and Teacher Liu Bei, who were with his girlfriend, and felt that there was a little green on the top of their heads.
Zhang Yuan can only say it again, your circle is really chaotic.
"Zhang Yuan!" Just as he was figuring out the complicated relationship between these people, he heard a male voice with a Hong Kong accent calling him from behind.
I turned around and saw that Brother Hua was here.
If we don’t mention Liu Dehua on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, everyone gives thumbs up. From fans to directors to investors, no one can say anything bad about him.
He and Mr. Fu Biao had only collaborated on a few scenes, but after hearing the news of the other's death, he still came by plane.
Also coming with him were Xiao Wang, and Lao Yangtou and Yang Buting who came on behalf of China Film.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang."
He said hello one by one.
"Hello, how are you doing lately?" Yang Buting smiled and patted his shoulder.
“Thank you for your promotion. I have made some money recently through storytelling.”
"You make money based on your own ability, no need to thank others." Lao Yang was quite polite to him.
Teacher Song Xingyi and Fu Biao played the role of husband and wife, and they also came to pay homage.
Zhang Yuan stepped forward and chatted for a few words, and the other party was quite kind when he pulled him.
“I heard Lin Cong talk about you.”
Teacher Song is enthusiastic, but a little too enthusiastic.
Zhang Yuan thought, it must be more than just Lin Cong's face.
A glance out of the corner of my eye.
Oh, it turns out Yingda is here too.
The couple had not interacted with each other until now, so they dragged him to chat to avoid contact with each other.
Your circle is so complicated...
"Zhang Yuan, long time no see."
Song Xuanjiu kept asking him for a long time, but a couple who arrived later helped him get out.
"Sister Taohong, Brother Xu Zheng."
Fu Biao's last work "Concubinage" starred Taohong.
Although this film has not been released yet, we have collaborated with it after all, and Taohong also came here specially with her husband.
But Zhang Yuan and this couple are destined to be together.
Not to mention that Xu Zheng, who had met Taohong during the "Yitian Sword of the Dragon", even if Xu Zheng has never met, even if we don't meet today, we will meet in a few days.
“Fate, fate!”
Zhang Yuan told him that "Crazy Stone" was invested by himself and Brother Hua.
Xu Zheng immediately pulled his arm and laughed.
Initially, Ning Hao actually wanted Teacher Taohong to play the role of the boss. The original setting was for the female boss.
He sent the script to Teacher Taohong’s email address and asked the other party to reply after reading it.
What he didn’t know was that the couple shared an email address.
After Xu Zheng received the script, he helped his wife read it.
The results are immediately apparent at first glance.
This man thought the book was very good, so he "squeezed aside" his wife and decided to star in it himself.
And after learning that Ning Hao's budget was tight, he also said that he didn't want a salary and just wanted to make friends.
Let’s not talk about the fact that this person later relied on finance and MLM to make a living.
But in terms of brains and vision, he is indeed the top in the entertainment industry.
"Crazy Stone" is a book that many people dislike or cannot understand, but he knew it was a good thing at a glance, which shows how keen he is in the film and television industry.
"Teacher Taohong has become even more beautiful after I haven't seen her in a few years." Zhang Yuan praised.
"Hahaha, you too, you look even more handsome." Teacher Tao smiled with squinted eyes, and then whispered: "Thank you for being on the set before."
"How much I have forgotten what happened years ago." Zhang Yuan knew that she was talking about Zhang Tielin's salted pig tongue, and he gave her the idea to feed Wang Zhihe.
"You forgot, but I can't forget!" At this point, Xu Zheng patted him on the shoulder proudly.
"It's all your fault. Your teacher Tao is always eating Wang Zhihe now, and I can't stand it anymore!"
"There is no room for anyone at home."
Zhang Yuan:...
You are addicted to eating it, right?
Xu Zheng is from Modu, so naturally he can't get used to Wang Zhihe's smell of stinky fermented bean curd.
In the end, he had no choice but to have someone bring him stinky amaranth stems from Shaoxing, and he had a "magical confrontation" with his wife.
Zhang Yuanxin said, if Brother Qian is brought to their home, he will not die because of his greed as a teacher!
People came one after another.
There were hundreds of relatives and friends standing in the hall, lively but silent.
Feng Xiaogang had an idea at the beginning, why don't we just give Biaozi a funeral in the style of "Big Shot".
After all, the image of Biaozi from Beijing Film Studio is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But was unanimously rejected by the others.
What’s the point of joy? Death in your early forties is not considered joy or mourning!
So in the end I still followed the standard procedure.
Uncle Guoli is a master of dubbing and cross talk. His words are clear and full of emotion. The eulogy made everyone cry when he read it, and he himself kept sobbing before he could finish it.
After three bows, there is a minute of silence.
Then everyone took turns to lay flowers and pay their respects to the remains.
When Brother Hua saw him holding two bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums, he asked suspiciously.
"I promised her to offer it on behalf of Li Bingbing."
Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty.
Brother Hua nodded, thinking that he was quite reliable.
When passing by the glass coffin lid, I looked at the man lying quietly inside.
Mr. Fu, who has a broad mind and a fat body, has become very thin despite the long-term pain and suffering.
When the family members nailed the coffin, there were bursts of crying in the hall.
Not only family members, but also relatives and friends who came.
Even friends cry more loudly than relatives, and those who are not familiar with each other can't tell which one is the relative.
First of all, by this time, the truly beloved relatives and friends are already on the verge of crying. It's so sad, I've cried to tears a long time ago.
Secondly, most of the relatives and friends who came today are actors.
At this time, it is natural for everyone to show their talents.
Normally I can’t cry on the set, but now my tears were as loud as a squirt gun.
Those who have a strong desire to perform can all win Best Actor and Best Actress.
The sound of crying to heaven and earth is endless.
Zhang Yuan looked at it and sneered.
"Director Feng also thinks too much, there is no need to deliberately arrange it."
"Isn't this just like "Big Shot"."
After the process was completed, everyone left the farewell hall and took the bus to a nearby hotel together.
The family expresses gratitude and treats guests to dinner.
At the banquet, the actors, who had runny noses and burst into tears just now, now changed their faces, and they mingled happily with each other.
Sure enough, an actor still has to make a living.
They are the real actors in life.
"Xiao Gang, Biaozi left something for you." After greeting each other at the tables, Mr. Fu's wife, Aunt Zhang Qiufang, came to Zhang Yuan's table and called out to Feng Xiaogang.
"There is Zhang Yuan, you are coming too."
"Me?" Zhang Yuan pointed at himself, then stood up and followed.
Come to the corner position.
In addition to Director Feng, he and a few others including Lao Mouzi, Ge You, Zhang Guoli, etc., among whom Zhang Yuan is the youngest.
"Before he left, the old man said that he couldn't drink the wine anymore, so he should give it to a few old friends."
Aunt Zhang took out several bottles of wine wrapped in red plastic bags from a large box. wine bottle.
Zhang Yuan took a look, what a guy!
Moutai wrapped in tissue paper.
The latest batch of this thing is already a product of the 1980s, and it must be at least twenty years old.
Mr. Fu died of liver cancer, which was somewhat related to his love of drinking liquor.
Now take out the collection and give it away, it can be regarded as a relic.
Aunt Zhang took out bottles of wine and handed them one by one.
One bottle per person, just the right amount.
“It’s too valuable.” Zhang Yuan whispered to Aunt Zhang.
"Biaozi said you can drink it. It's a pleasure to drink with him."
"If he is willing to give it to you, just take it."
"Take it, a piece of Biaozi It’s my intention.” Director Feng also advised.
Others were familiar with him and asked him to continue.
Lao Mouzi didn’t recognize him and felt strange.
Because the other drinkers were all middle-aged people, but he was a young man.
I looked at it carefully.
I feel that although he looks young, his appearance and temperament today are mature and steady, giving him a sense of stability and relaxation.
"Okay, thank you."
After everyone received the "relics", they returned to the wine table.
Zhang Yuan picked up his wine glass and greeted many acquaintances, and then came to Liu Dehua's side.
"Brother Hua, I have something to tell you about the drama "Crazy Stone"."
"What's wrong?" Hua Ge turned sideways and chatted with him.
“I told Ning Hao that I plan to play an important role.”
“That’s a good thing!” Brother Hua immediately smiled.
Zhang Yuan is quite famous now, and having him star in the film will definitely help the film’s promotion and box office.
Brother Hua is also an investor. If the film has a high box office, he will definitely benefit.
Of course he was happy to see Zhang Yuan was so interested in this film.
“There are also bad points.” Zhang Yuan leaned down: “The role he has assigned me now is the international thief Mike.”
“But this role has already been assigned an actor. .”
"It's Lian Jin, so I have to say hello to you. I think it's embarrassing to have him prepare for so long and then change people at short notice. Maybe the salary will be settled as compensation."
Why do you want to be with him? Brother Hua said this.
Because Lian Jin also came from the wireless training class and was Liu Dehua’s classmate!
"Hey, it's okay. I'll tell him. You don't need to pay for the film. You won't be paid for the performance." Brother Hua saw that he was so polite, so he waved his hand and said no.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
"Oh, one more thing. This is the first time Ning Hao has directed a commercial work. Why don't you send a producer to give on-site guidance."
After hearing this, Liu Dehua thought about it for a while and became happy. Agree.
He knew in his heart that this was not a guide, but an initiative for him to install a manager on the crew as an investor.
In fact, it was to reassure him that the crew would be under the control of him as an investor.
“Okay, I will send someone there.”
[Received thanks from Andy Lau, +1 for singing skills! 】
"Besides, the crew's budget is a bit problematic." Zhang Yuan put the other party in a good mood and immediately revealed his true purpose.
“Want to add more money?”
“Yes, but I am going to find another investor.”
“Who?”
"Follow me."
Zhang Yuan then took Brother Hua to the main table.
He also waited for a while before walking over.
"Mr. Yang." The two of them stood next to Yang Buting.
"Thank you for your support in the "Harry Potter" matter. Here's to you."
"It's a small matter." Lao Yang drank half the cup politely.
"There is a film now. Brother Hua and I invested in it. The budget is a bit insufficient. Do you think you are willing to help?"
His target is Lao Yangtou.
The reason why he waited for a while before coming forward was because Wang Zhonglei was also at the table.
He deliberately waited for Xiao Wang to leave temporarily before coming forward to talk about this matter.
And he went to Liu Dehua's place first, just to bring Brother Hua to meet Lao Yang.
After all, he has a small reputation, while Brother Hua has a big reputation.
"You two invested..." Yang Buting thought: "Short of money?"
"How much is missing?"
"Fifty thousand."
< br>
"Pfft, hahaha... It's just so close. You've made a lot of money recently." Yang Buting laughed out loud.
Xin said that you are considered a popular person, so you can’t afford even 500,000 yuan?
“Hahaha, I don’t have enough money to spend, and money is tight.” Zhang Yuanhan said with a smile.
Although Lao Yangtou drank a lot, he was still an old man, so he felt something was wrong when he saw the scene.
Zhang Yuan has no money?
Not likely.
Even if he has no money, will Andy Lau be short of 500,000?
Oh!
This is a "voting certificate" for me.
Of course he and Brother Hua are not short of half a million.
But behind Lao Yang is China Film.
And China Film Group controls a large number of distribution channels!
If you want to have a high box office, having him appear will indeed enhance the publicity effect.
No matter how good your promotion is, if the theaters don’t schedule films for you, it’s all in vain.
When arranging films in theaters, they generally look at several aspects.
The director, the actors, the popularity of the work itself, publicity, and whether the theater chain itself participates in investment.
Just like Wanda Pictures in later generations, his theater chain will definitely arrange more films for the films it invests in.
Not only does China Film have stakes in many theater chains, even if it does not have a stake, just the word China Film will make people lose face.
People may not praise the films that China Film Group Co., Ltd. participates in producing and distributing, but at least they dare not deliberately offend them.
After all, they participated in the formulation of rules for the film and television industry, and in the early days, they were the only company in mainland China that had the right to import films.
As far as imported films are concerned, other companies are distributors, and China Film is the general contractor.
Later, the liberation of import rights was a policy implemented by Lao Yang.
But despite the decentralization of power, the film studios with the import rights are actually still the subordinates of China Film.
That’s why theater chains sell him face.
Another point is that he is more technical, and the person who later succeeded Lao Han is also more technical.
Moreover, both Yang Buting and Han Sanpin are different from China Film Group executives.
Lao Han is the chairman of China Film Group Corporation and Lao Yang is the deputy director.
In addition to China Film and Television, Lao Yang also works in Radio and Television!
So this person is in the leadership circle, so he naturally thinks deeper.
He looked around the table and found that Wang Zhonglei was not there.
He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment.
“This kid just signed a gambling contract with Hua Yi, but he avoided Xiao Wang.”
“Hua Yi and Lao Han were closest, but he came to see me. ”
Hua Yi’s earliest films all had Lao Han behind them.
Hua Yi even almost went bankrupt once before Sister Hua left, and it was Lao Han who caused it.
Because Han Sanpin asked the Wang brothers to invest in Poet Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".
Hua Yi paid most of the 70 million yuan production cost.
As a result, the box office was only around RMB 10 million, so I lost all my money.
I almost vomited blood after being tricked by the Wang brothers, but I didn’t dare to fall out with Old Han.
This is also the reason why Hua Yi seldom cooperated with Poet Chen.
Because of that movie, Hua Yi suffered serious losses, but Poet Chen made a lot of money.
Half of the cost was used to build the Qin Palace.
Just like the bearded man, this man is building cities everywhere and acquiring shares in scenic spots and film and television cities. He is using investors' money to lay eggs for himself.
In this way, the Wang brothers gritted their teeth and endured it for the sake of Han Sanpin.
So Hua Yi and Lao Han have a very close relationship.
Yang Buting thought to himself that this boy's behavior clearly showed that he didn't just want to be Hua Yi's puppet.
Interesting!
One move of leisurely chess gave a bit of flavor.
“Okay, young people’s entrepreneurship deserves support.” Yang Buting quickly agreed.
“We at China Film Group support young people.”
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Zhang Yuan toasted again before leaving with a smile.
Brother Hua patted his shoulder and looked at him with admiration.
With the investment endorsement of China Film Group and the participation of Zhang Yuan...
"If you work so hard, this film might make money." Hua Ge said with a smile.
"Hahaha, maybe." Zhang Yuan gestured to the universe on his fingertips: "We can make a few hundred million."
