On the way back to the set, Zhang Yuan kept stroking the cheek that Fan Bingbing had rubbed, but what he was thinking about was not the softness and smoothness of the other person's skin.
“She is still too smart.”
“And she does things rightly.”
Zhang Yuan sighed.
Fan Bingbing must have obtained the news about the "Night Banquet" audition from inside Hua Yi.
At the same time, she also knew that when Hua Yi signed the agreement with her, he promised "The Night Banquet" to her as a benefit.
Although I signed a betting agreement with Hua Yi, my relationship with Hua Yi is naturally not as close as that of a signed artist like Fan Ye, and the inside information is not as well-informed as her.
She knew she was going to suffer a loss, so she came to remind her.
"She must have known about it for a few days and has been hesitating."
"After all, there is no benefit in spreading this word."
"But in the end, it was based on our friendship."
Zhang Yuan thought to himself that he owed the other party another favor.
If it doesn’t work, find a chance to repay it with your body...
“Although “The Night Banquet” is not a good movie, its reputation is average.”
“But for me , but very important.”
Nowadays, there are only a few great directors in China, not even one can count on them.
There are only a few big productions every year.
If you miss one, you will miss a great opportunity to increase your popularity.
“Oh, no wonder Fan Bingbing mentioned Zhang Ziyi’s current net worth.”
“She should be the heroine of “The Night Banquet”.”
"Hua Yi is just trying to win over this popular actress."
Zhang Yuan shook his head, Ji Ji Zhang's ambition was no less than his own, so how could he be willing to submit to others.
Besides, they have already signed a contract with WMA, how could they be bound to Huayi.
This woman is very shrewd. She has taken advantage of all the benefits of traveling among the major circles in the country.
And this guy just went to Hollywood to film "Memoirs of a Geisha", which was produced by the great director Spielberg.
What's interesting is that the lead female lead in this film is Guizhou Zhang, and the second lead female lead is Gong Li.
Two generations of girls face off against each other.
I have to say that Zhang Ziyi is definitely domineering among all Chinese actresses, but compared with Gong Huang, she is just a young girl, and there is a huge difference in momentum.
Ji Zhang always feels like he is running out of voice while acting, while Gong Li is steady and majestic.
“For the International Chapter, at this time when Sister Hua left and needed to win over people’s hearts, she actually didn’t use her own double ice.”
"No wonder Fan Xiaopang is staring at the international chapter, he must be unhappy."
"Hahaha, even the most popular actress in the family can be ignored, so I won't feel any psychological pressure at all. "
Now that Zhang Yuan has "succeeded" and became "Mrs. Niu", they must chase "Xiao Tiantian".
"Maybe he gave Huang Xiaoming the role that was originally intended for me."
Zhang Yuan guessed.
"It's not just once or twice that these two brothers have gone back on their word. What's more, they didn't sign a film contract with me. They just talked about it verbally. Of course it's like farts."
The most famous ones are Xing Ye and Hua Yi in later generations. That breakup thing.
Verbally promised that if the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" exceeds RMB 500 million, the director's profit share will be increased.
When it came time to sign the supplementary agreement, the king went abroad directly. The company used the excuse that the boss was not around to form a written contract.
After the film was released, the box office exceeded 1.2 billion. It stands to reason that Mr. Xing should get a share of 80 million, but the Wang brothers refused to pay because they did not sign a contract.
Master Xing was known as a tough guy. He went to court with Hua Yi over this matter, but he lost the case in the end and the two parties completely broke up.
The Wang brothers were secretly enjoying themselves for saving 80 million, but Star Master took a breath, turned to the spotlight, and made "Mermaid" with a box office of 3.3 billion.
Not to mention the hundreds of millions that can be earned from the box office share, Guangguang's stock price has soared because of this movie, and the boss Wang Changtianle almost laughed his teeth out.
"Feng Xiaogang didn't mention the casting to me at all."
"This old boy is a rat racer, so naturally he won't notify me."
"When I find out that the film is about to start shooting, I will definitely pass it by with a careless eye."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan chuckled and took out his mobile phone.
"If you don't tell me, I can take the initiative to ask."
"Let's see who is embarrassed!"
He immediately called Director Feng.
"This is about it..." After Feng Xiaogang received his inquiry, he hesitated for a long time.
"It's like this...the investment in the film is very high, and I have found a film producer in Hong Kong to jointly invest in it."
"You have to transfer some rights to others, choose The same goes for Jiao Quan."
"Who is the partner?" Zhang Yuan asked.
“Xiangjiang Huanya.” Director Feng continued: “There will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future.”
"Don't be anxious."
"Of course, I know Director Feng will not forget me."
"That's natural, uh... I have something else to do now, let's talk later ." After that, Feng Xiaogang hung up the phone.
He didn’t want to get involved in the conflict between Zhang Yuan and Hua Yi.
"Huanya..." Zhang Yuan got the information he wanted.
"It's just another company, I'm familiar with this one!"
He then dialed another number.
The boss of Huanya is Lin Jianyue.
This famous second generation ancestor of Xiangjiang had dealt with Zhang Yuan several times.
Not only did he invest in "Initial D", but he also dared to seek cooperation and invest in Yu Zheng's "The Harem of the Qing Dynasty".
The Wang brothers probably don't know about this.
After Zhang Yuan and Lin Jianyue chatted on the phone for a while, the two parties reached some agreements...
These days, Huang Xiaoming is enjoying himself.
Wang Zhonglei from Huayi contacted him and participated in the audition for "The Night Banquet".
And after the audition, we even had dinner with him.
After a few more drinks, the other person started patting him on the shoulder and boasting.
"You have to perform well..."
"This role of yours is hard-earned, so cherish it."
"We Huayi are very optimistic about you."
Anyway, the same words I said to Zhang Yuan at that time were repeated to this stunned Shandong man.
But the difference was that Zhang Yuan was smiling on his face, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
Huang Xiaoming took it seriously!
Especially Xiao Wang held his shoulders and told him.
“This role was originally intended for Zhang Yuan, but now it’s given to you, do you understand what I mean?”
Huang Xiaoming was so excited that he almost gave the other party a bump!
Oh my god, my earth.
Which angel sister gave me such a tone!
This guy robbed my Yang Guo and finally paid the price!
It’s so happy, so happy!
Finally let me take revenge!
What makes Huang Xiaoming even more happy is that Hua Yi gave me the role that should have been given to Zhang Yuan. Doesn't that mean that they are more optimistic about me?
Thinking about this, I feel relieved.
After seeing Zhang Yuan cooperating with Hua Yi, what he was most worried about was that if he went to Hua Yi again, he would be overpowered by the other party.
Master Huang is determined to be the first brother.
It's okay now. Hua Yi is obviously more supportive of me, so I feel relieved.
He seemed to have seen Hua Yi's throne waving to him.
A few days later, the crew of "The Night Banquet" had their second audition and makeup meeting.
Huang Xiaoming brought his assistant to Huayi's office building.
This old man has a trademark evil smile on his lips, a pair of small black-framed sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and a slicked-back hairdo.
This look is obviously a sign of good mood.
When he came to the dressing room and sat down firmly, he clenched his fists in front of the mirror and thought to himself.
“I came to Huayi today.”
“It is not to prove that I am more powerful than others.”
“But to tell everyone what I have lost, You must get it back by yourself!"
He was breathing heavily and his heart was racing.
With this big-budget movie, I have officially entered the film and television industry.
He also developed a relationship with Hua Yi, a dominant figure in the film industry.
A golden road leading to the highest platform in the Chinese entertainment industry has appeared in front of him.
“Brother Xiao Ming, you’re here so early.”
At this time, he heard the door of the dressing room being opened, and someone entered the room and said hello to him.
Then he turned around.
I heard a "click"!
The golden road is broken.
Huang Xiaoming’s hair almost stood up.
The whole person seemed to have received a huge shock, and he froze in his seat, not daring to move.
After a few seconds, he stretched out his fingers tremblingly and pinched his thigh viciously.
"Hiss...it hurts!"
It hurts, so it's not a dream.
Huang Xiaoming looked at the handsome young man with a smile in front of him, supported the armrests of the seat with both hands, and stood up with difficulty.
"I..."
"Long time no see."
The visitor is, of course, Zhang Yuan.
At this moment, no one in the world can make Master Huang so scared.
Zhang Yuan hugged the other party forcefully and patted the other party on the back. His actions seemed very intimate.
"Hey, hello..." Huang Xiaoming's voice in response to him is still trembling until now. "You came to Huayi for business today and passed by?" Huang Xiaoming asked.
“No, I’m here for the audition to set the makeup.”
Kucha!
Master Huang’s little heart was broken to pieces.
Here he comes.
He's coming!
Then I’m finished!
Didn’t Xiao Wang say that he would give me the role of Yin Falcon?
Did they go back on their word?
Holy shit!
Huang Xiaoming almost fell into the chair.
The world was spinning for a while, and the whole person seemed to have lost his direction.
“You have robbed me of Yang Guo, and now you want to rob me of the role in "The Night Banquet"..."
He originally thought that you would rob me of one, and I would retaliate to you, and we would be even. .
Unexpectedly, they came back to kill him.
"Brother Yuan, let's do your makeup first." The makeup artist said.
"Okay." Zhang Yuan replied, and said hello to Brother Xiao Ming: "I'm busy first."
Huang Xiaoming nodded, and after calming down for a while, After borrowing urine to escape from the dressing room and looking around, he discovered Feng Xiaogang through the glass partition of an office.
He didn't care about disturbing the other party's work, he knocked on the door and entered.
"Director Feng, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter... Oh, I know." Feng Xiaogang was startled by his sudden intrusion, and then he immediately reacted and pulled him into a quiet room with no one on the side.
“Have you seen Zhang Yuan?” Feng Xiaogang asked with a strange expression.
"Yes!" Huang Xiaoming nodded vigorously.
Feng Daoxin said, his face turned pale with fright, only that kid could do it.
“Director Feng, where is Mr. Wang? Didn’t he agree to give me the role of Yin Falcon?”
"Why did Zhang Yuan come to the audition again?"
As he said this, Huang Xiaoming felt aggrieved and almost shed tears.
"Oh, don't worry, the role of Yin Falcon is yours, no one will take it from you."
"Ah, I still play this role?" Huang Xiaoming couldn't believe his ears at all.
“No, I have already studied the script of this movie.”
"Except for Yin Shun, who I played, only a few of Yu Linwei's small roles had appearances... Could it be that he took over the role of Teacher Ge You?"
"Is he the right age?" Feng Xiaogang shook his head, understanding that Huang Xiaoming was frightened and had begun to think wildly.
“Hey!” Director Feng sighed.
"I also just received the notice the day before yesterday that the role Zhang Yuan is going to audition for is Prince Wu Luan!"
"Ah!" Leader Huang said with a long mouth: "No..."
There are only a few main characters in "The Night Banquet".
In addition to the male lead Ge You, the ironclad male lead of Feng Xiaogang, there is also the female lead Zhang Ziyi.
The Yin Falcon that Huang Xiaoming got was the third male lead.
The role of the second female lead Qingnv was given to Zhou Xun.
Because Brother Xun has already been negotiating a management contract with Hua Yi and has made considerable progress. It is basically finalized that after the contract with Rong Xinda ends, he will seamlessly join Hua Yilai.
So this role is a signing gift for Zhou Xun.
Anyway, Hua Yi’s routine is just a few tricks. First, he uses characters from famous director’s works to attract you. Once you come, it’s not me who has the final say on what to do next.
The choice of the vacant second male lead was given to the partner Uniasia.
"No, wasn't this role originally assigned to Wu Yan?" Huang Xiaoming couldn't understand: "Why was it suddenly changed to him."
"I don't know, anyway, Xiao Wang and I About that. ”
"Lin Jianyue called him and proposed a substitution."
Feng Xiaogang could probably guess that Zhang Yuan must have used some means to convince Boss Lin.
When Wang Zhonglei learned about this, his expression was not very good, and he was obviously surprised.
There are several main reasons why Lin Jianyue agreed to change the role to Zhang Yuan.
Actually, like Hua Yi, he originally planned to use this vacancy to win over the Wu Yan group.
But as soon as Wu Yan's team took over the job, something went wrong.
This guy bravely helped a drunk girl in a bar and was slapped.
Among the young students in Xiangjiang back then, Yanzu actually had the best character.
I don’t play around with women, I don’t have issues with my stance, and I don’t look for trouble. I am much more honest than Edison Xi and Ting Feng.
And because of his looks, he has been raped by women several times.
Because women think that if you look like this, you must be a playboy and change women every day.
So I’m definitely not serious, so I might as well cheat on you before you cheat on me, so as not to suffer a loss.
Don’t guess what women are thinking, they have their own set of logic.
As soon as I took the role, my appearance was disfigured and there was a cut on the bridge of my nose.
Although it was still a while before filming started, Lin Jianyue felt something was not good.
This guy is superstitious, and his father just passed away this year, and the Lin family is in a period of crisis, so there is no room for any mistakes.
Then he took Yanzu's photo and went to Siam to find the White Dragon King.
“It can grow red, but it is always a little short of reaching the peak of redness.”
This is the reply given by the White Dragon King.
Lin Jianyue muttered a little.
He always felt that Yanzu could become the next four heavenly kings.
In fact, people in Hong Kong think too much. The Four Heavenly Kings are products of the times. The latecomers, whether Nicholas Tse, Wu Yan's group or Guan Xige, even if they gather the support of the whole Hong Kong, they cannot reach the level of Hua Ge and others. The achievement of a generation.
The heyday of the Hong Kong circle is gone forever.
At this moment, Lin Jianyue received a call from Zhang Yuan.
“Do you want to play this role?”
"Yes, I heard that you invested, and I thought I could use something to trade with you."
In fact, the content of the transaction is very simple.
For the movie they collaborated on, "The Harem of the Qing Dynasty," Zhang Yuan was willing to give all of his share of the copyright income, except the mainland portion, to Boss Lin.
This part of the income may be worth tens of millions in total in the future.
But first of all, this is a long-term benefit that cannot be cashed out immediately.
Secondly, it’s just like Brother Dao’s lines in “Crazy Stone”.
“I am on the rise of my career!”
Zhang Yuan must ensure that he appears in the top works of the year every year in order to maintain his popularity.
Even Zhang Ziyi was later punished because of the "splashing ink scandal", and International Zhang's net worth dropped by more than half in those years.
So Zhang Yuan knows very well that money is not the most important. Showing his face and allowing the audience to constantly see him is what is important.
Lin Jianyue put down her phone and did some calculations, feeling that the deal was not a loss.
I glanced at the White Dragon King not far away again, thinking that even this guy couldn't see through Zhang Yuan's fortune, I thought to myself that he was a strange man.
The last movie "Initial D" with him in it sold very well, and he made a lot of money.
And there is one more important point.
The investment in the film "The Banquet" is so large that it will definitely have to rely on overseas copyrights and broadcasts to make up for it.
Lin Jianyue agreed to Zhang Ziyi as the heroine because her name is Guiji Zhang!
She has international influence and is attractive to overseas film studios.
Zhang Yuan happened to have been to Cannes just a few months ago.
The movie he starred in also won awards, which is somewhat of a selling point for overseas film producers.
After thinking about it, he agreed to Zhang Yuan’s conditions.
After Huang Xiaoming figured out everything, he returned to the dressing room in despair.
At this time, Zhang Yuan had already put on a long wig and a white robe, looking very high-spirited.
"Brother Xiao Ming, your stomach feels uncomfortable. Have you been here for so long?" Zhang Yuan asked while arranging his clothes.
Huang Xiaoming thought to himself, my stomach feels quite comfortable, but my heart feels uncomfortable.
"I'm going to audition first, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder, smiled and stepped aside.
Huang Xiaoming turned back with a steady gaze and looked at the figure of the other party dragging his robe and slowly leaving.
"Although my role is still there, he has not taken it away."
"But why do I feel more uncomfortable?"
Huang Xiaoming thought, I just said that what I lost must be taken back with my own hands...
But my role is that people came here to win over me.
His role was taken back by himself!
Not only that, but I also got a higher-ranking role.
This man came with no energy at all and showed a sense of frustration.
“By his own means, he got a better role than I got.”
“Doesn’t that mean that he beat me?”
< br>
"Press firmly!"
It's just a matter of taking back the role of Yin Xuan.
He appeared in front of me, not only was he not anxious or annoyed, but he also asked me to act as his voice in the film.
Yes, I have to see him every day on the set...
Master Huang felt that the other party must know that his role originally belonged to him.
But he is still so kind to himself.
He must be saying this to himself.
“I am the first brother of Huayi, the younger brother.”
Huang Xiaoming suddenly felt that his future stardom in Huayi seemed to have been covered with a layer of darkness before it even started. The shadow named Zhang Yuan...(End of Chapter)
