Chapter 183: Candidates for "Stone"
Zhang Chen's words once again made the media reporters climax.
Yes, yes, that’s it~
As for Zhang Jingchu, who cares about her?
The harder you spray, the better.
There were also those who had a keen sense of touch and immediately asked: "The director's wife group you are talking about is..."
Zhang Chen consciously made a mistake: "This... I won't talk about it. It involves other people, it is impolite..."< br>
Zhang Chen is actually polite?
The reporters were stunned, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything.
In terms of investigative capabilities, apart from the criminal police, no one in the country is better than reporters.
There are only a few directors in the entertainment industry, and they can easily identify the members of the wife group themselves.
Combining the incident with the heroine Zhang Jingchu, Jiang Wenli, the wife of the director of "Peacock", must be one of them.
Well, someone has already made up his mind to rush to interview Jiang Wenli as soon as he is done here.
It will definitely explode!
“Okay, today’s press conference is over.”
Dong Jianqiang suddenly appeared and ended the press conference forcefully. Some reporters wanted to ask questions, but they were all blocked by Dong Jianqiang.
Are you kidding?
In just a short time, the main summer movie has been produced. If Zhang Chen is allowed to continue to criticize like this, what's the point?
I may not know how many things will happen to you.
Dong Jianqiang has a deep understanding of the ability of his new boss to get things done, and he has the strongest tendency in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Chen was escorted away by a group of people. The reporters were unwilling to give in and wanted to ask one or two more questions along the way, but it was no use. Zhang Chen was not allowed to answer at Dong Jianqiang's request.
Zhang Chen left. Although the reporters were a little reluctant, they also left one after another. They were eager to go back and publish articles.
I was a little anxious, so I just found a chair in the conference room of Xingchen Entertainment and started writing.
Paper media is relatively slow, and the fastest will have to wait until tomorrow.
But online media is much faster. About half an hour later, the first article was published.
[Zhang Chen fights for his friend]
The subtitle is - Genius cannot be slandered, Director Ning Hao's new work is scheduled for summer release, Zhang Chen said - If you don't accept it, you will fight!
It can be said that the essence of today’s press conference is summarized.
Other media also followed suit.
Sina: [Zhang Chen said: This is revenge~]
Sohu.com: [Injuring the enemy by a thousand but losing eight hundred, the young director’s battle of spirits]
NetEase: [Zhang Jingchu, don’t you know how your character came about? 】
It must be said that NetEase's perspective is very unique. It anticipated other media and focused on Zhang Jingchu's gossip in a new way, and the number of readings actually increased dramatically.
Various media have different opinions, which suddenly made "Peacock" a lot more popular, and the box office of "Peacock" also increased sharply.
Yu Dong was still wondering what was going on, why the box office suddenly became so strong, and then his subordinates rushed into the office in a hurry: "Mr. Yu, it's not good...".
All because of Zhang Chen's words.
When Yu Dong learned the result, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Zhang Chen is really...
It is said that a gentleman takes revenge no later than ten years, and a villain takes revenge from morning to night.
Zhang Chen is nothing, he seems to be neither a gentleman nor a villain, and his revenge does not last overnight.
...
In the evening, Xingchen Entertainment had a dinner party.
I had a great time spraying today to clear my gloomy mood, so of course I have to celebrate.
Wangjing Small Waist
Since the frequency of sleeping with female celebrities increased, Zhang Chen came here regularly.
Basically at least once a week.
Just take it as a dietary supplement.
The boss Zhai Yaowei also takes good care of him and jumps in line every time he comes.
Since the photo of him and Zhang Chen was hung in the store, the business in the store has obviously improved a lot.
After making money, he simply changed to a larger store.
At this stage, barbecue restaurants are not called barbecue restaurants, but barbecue stalls.
Why, because most of them are open-air stalls.
There are not many rental stores like Wangjing Xiaoyao.
However, there are advantages to having a store. At least there are private rooms, which provide better privacy. Otherwise, with Zhang Chen’s current reputation, if he eats at an open-air stall, someone might come to take a photo with him after a while.
In the private room, Ning Hao opened a new bottle of Yanjing and toasted with the whole bottle: "Chenzi, I really thank you for standing up for me today. I really feel... forget it, I won't say anything. It's all in the wine..."
As he spoke, Ning Hao raised his neck, and a bottle of beer flowed down his throat.
Zhang Chen wanted to stop him, but he couldn't, so he opened a bottle and drank together.
The people around watched the two men finish the bottle, with envy of Ning Hao in their eyes.
Not only do I envy him for his good relationship with Zhang Chen, but now the only people around who can call him Chenzi are Ning Hao and Cao Bingkun, and there is no third person.
I also envied Zhang Chen’s support for him.
Look at what was said at the press conference - a genius director.
Everyone knows that the new script Ning Hao is tinkering with is called "Crazy Stone", which is adapted from the drama "Big Diamond".
Originally no one took this seriously, but when Zhang Chen said that this drama would be promoted as a summer film, it was different.
Originally, Dong Jianqiang wanted to put "Manslaughter" on the summer schedule. After all, this is one of the only two best schedules of the year.
But Zhang Chen insisted on putting it on the May 1st slot and made it clear that he wanted to push "The Stone", so Dong Jianqiang had no choice but to give up.
After three drinks, Dong Jianqiang asked Ning Hao: "Has the script of "Stone" been finalized?"
Ning Hao nodded, but immediately became a little uncertain and said: "How about letting Chenzi help me take a look at it?" , to check, this is the main recommendation of the summer film, I really have no idea~"
"No problem..."
Zhang Chen burped: "I mean you don’t need to watch it, The version I saw before was fine."
Zhang Chen said this, and everyone couldn't help but become more curious.
Everyone knows that Zhang Chen has very strict requirements on scripts.
The most important thing in the company is the screenwriting team.
And he always writes his own scripts and never shoots for outside scripts.
Being recognized by Zhang Chen means that the quality of the script is really good. Hearing what Zhang Chen said, Yue Xiaojun's face lit up with joy as the others were fine.
He is one of the screenwriters of "Stone". It can be said that "Stone" was created by him and Xing Aina.
Of course I am happy to get Zhang Chen’s approval now.
Sure enough, finding a good owner is very important.
Other screenwriters are fighting for the right to sign. He already has a signed work - "Dark Invasion 2".
Although it is a joint signature, it is still a signature.
Looking at the current situation, after "Stone" is released, the only signed screenwriters will be Xing Aina and him. The gold content is completely different.
Dong Jianqiang asked at this time: "What about the cast? Do you have a plan? Who do you want to invite to star?"
This is business.
Since Zhang Chen boasted that "The Stone" would be released in the summer, then he, the general manager, must help him realize it.
Otherwise, what's the use of having him as a general manager?
Ning Hao just feels happy now. With the support of the company, it feels really good.
Hearing this, he directly said what he was thinking: "I want Xu Zheng to play the protagonist Bao Shihong, and I want Liu Tianwang to play Hong Kong's Killer Mike. In addition, I also want to ask Zhang Guoli to guest director. For the role, it would be best if the heroine could hire Li Bingbing..."
After Ning Hao finished speaking, he found that everyone stopped eating skewers and looked at him in shock.
Dong Jianqiang was even more unhappy: "Liu Tianwang, Zhang Guoli, Xu Zheng, Li Bingbing? My dear, I asked you to say it, not to make you wish!"
Everyone was shocked by this. The sentence was so funny that even Xing Aina laughed, feeling that her boyfriend was too crazy~
Ning Hao also reacted and laughed.
Dong Jianqiang asked him to talk about actors. He just said what he wanted without thinking, and he didn't expect to make a joke.
It is true that when all these stars come together, they can earn a lot of money from the film alone.
This lineup is enough to film "A World Without Thieves 2".
How much did "A World Without Thieves" cost? 25 million.
In other words, it would take at least 75 million to make "Stone" back, which is absolutely impossible.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen said: "Okay, I will help you invite the actor. Xu Zheng is very suitable. I know this actor. He has a sense of joy. He should be able to play Bao Shihong. Liu Tianwang can also play Mike. , the rest are all guest appearances, and they won’t take long. I went to tell them. In addition, I think that Feng Xiaogang, the hired murderer, can try it with Feng Xiaogang. He owes me a role, and they both happen to have the surname Feng, so it counts. A comedy effect..."
"Really?" Ning Hao didn't expect to have such a surprise. Not only was his previous wish fulfilled by someone, but Feng Xiaogang also came with it.
"True, more real than pearls."
Zhang Chen said a line from "Wulin Gaiden", but no one knows this joke yet.
Alas, the loneliness of the reborn~
“They are all guest appearances, and they only have a few scenes. I will talk to them and just give them a symbolic stop~”
This is a shame. Chen thinks he still has it.
After many contacts with Feng Xiaogang, we have a good relationship, especially Feng Xiaogang himself.
What’s more, guest appearances are very common and convenient in the industry.
"It's just, why is there no Ge You?"
Ning Hao said with a stern expression: "I want to have one too, but he doesn't match the style of my play. I want to perform this play in Chongqing dialect. Can you imagine Uncle Ge who speaks Chongqing dialect?"
Everyone followed this line of thought and found that it was really eye-catching, and they couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you going to arrange a dialect comedy?" Dong Jianqiang frowned.
This is no small undertaking.
So far, dialect comedy has not been particularly successful.
Feng Xiaogang’s Beijing-style comedies are at risk of failing to cross the Yangtze River, and Chongqing dialect comedies are likely to face the same situation.
However, Zhang Chen has the memory of later generations and knows that although "Stone" is a dialect comedy, there is no geographical barrier at all.
Waving his hand: "Don't worry, I've read the book, there should be no problem."
At present, Zhang Chen is the Dinghaishenpin in the company. Regarding the movie, he said there is no problem, then It's just no problem.
This is the consensus of everyone.
Zhang Chen is more curious about the other candidates: "What about the other candidates, the Dao Brother trio, who are you going to cast?"
The original "Stone" was a great success, except In addition to the excellent script, the excellent performances of the trio of Brother Dao also have a lot to do with it.
Ning Hao frowned: "Brother Dao from the trio of Brother Dao, I originally wanted to find Liu Hua..."
Zhang Chen was afraid of being replaced because of his butterfly wings. , seeing the original version of Liu Hua, he quickly said: "Liu Hua is very good, I think it is quite suitable."
"Tatsuko, do you know him?"
"Of course."
"But he is not famous~"
"Haozi, remember, you are filming a comedy. "It's very important for an actor to have a sense of humor. It's good for Sun Honglei to play a role of harming people, but if he doesn't have a sense of humor, it will ruin the mood in your film."
Ning Hao felt the same way, and he was secretly feeling sorry for it before. , the leading actor has found a big star, and these supporting roles will definitely have to be replaced.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen would agree with his choice.
“What about Heipi and Xiaojun?”
“Heipi is looking for a classmate from our broadcasting department named Huang Bo.”
I’m afraid everyone doesn’t know him. , Ning Haoduo explained: "He once acted in a TV movie called "Get in the Car, Let's Go", which was quite good. He is also the kind of person you said with a sense of joy."
" Well, you are the director, whatever suits you best.”
Seeing that Zhang Chen had no objection, Ning Hao continued: "Xiaojun, I want Xiaojun to play."
Xiaojun is Yue Xiaojun who is dining at the same table with them.
A member of the writing team.
The latter scratched his head when he heard this: "Actually, when I was writing the script, I specifically wrote this character in my own image."
Zhang Chen nodded: "Okay, I don't have it. Opinions.”
The original Yue Xiaojun's performance was also good. Although not as brilliant as Huang Bo's black skin, it was still quite funny.
Furthermore, Yue Xiaojun is Ning Hao’s best friend, and he appears in several of Ning Hao’s subsequent movies.
I am not a professional actor, I am a screenwriter.
It seems that the screenwriter later won many awards.
"Blissful" is adapted from his experience of falling out of love.
By the way, his future wife is also very powerful, she is Yehenara Ying's agent.
