Chapter 188 Making Peace
When Zhang Chen received a call from Han Sanping, he was discussing the candidates for the ‘Four Eyes’ with Ning Hao in the company.
Ning Hao found a Sichuan Opera crosstalk actor named Wang Xun.
You don’t need to look at the photo to know that Zhang Chen is the actor in the original version of "The Stone".
It’s not that in the original version, Wang Xun was thought to be a liar from the crew at first, and he almost stopped acting.
Why did I go around in circles and come back here again?
Frankly speaking, Wang Xun is very suitable for the role of "Four Eyes".
It’s not that his acting skills are very good. Judging from other subsequent roles, Wang Xun’s acting skills are only average. It is suitable because his own image and the role are extremely consistent.
Wang Xun doesn’t have to act like the wretched, powerful, and showy character of ‘Four Eyes’, he just has the feeling of getting there.
But Zhang Chen doesn’t want to use this person.
Because in later generations, after this guy became popular, he immediately divorced his first wife, who had shared the same troubles with him, and turned around to find a girlfriend who was more than ten years younger than him.
Otherwise many people say that the entertainment industry is a magic mirror.
You can tell whether it is a human or a ghost by looking at it.
Zhang Chen doesn't like such a person. Although this is his private matter and he won't deliberately target him, he is not prepared to cooperate with him.
"This person is not famous. The reputation of Brother Dao's trio is already low enough. We should try to use well-known actors for other roles."
Zhang Chen didn't say anything about his character, but used his popularity as an excuse to screen out Wang Xun.
"Then what candidates do you have?"
Zhang Chen thought for a while: "What do you think of Xia Yu?"
"Xia Yu? In "Sunny Days" That Xia Yu?"
Zhang Chen nodded.
Ning Hao's expression was a little confused. He really couldn't imagine anything in common between Xia Yu and the 'Four Eyes'.
If Zhang Chen had not seen the Golden Tooth in "The Secret of the Dragon", he would not have thought that Xia Yu was suitable for this role.
Da Jinya’s performance is so good. He is a philistine with a sense of humor, which is naturally in line with the temperament of "Stone".
“Is his image suitable?” Ning Hao still expressed doubts.
"In this case, I will inform him to come and audition, and we will make a decision after watching the performance..."
Zhang Chen believes that young Xia Yu can handle this role, after all, he is the Venice Best Actor.
Xia Yu is an artist under Wang Jinghua, and he has played a lot of roles in the past two years.
"My Brothers and Sisters"
"Kara is a Dog"
These are popular resources, and I don’t know how many people are grabbing them.
"A Date with the Police" won the Golden Rooster Best Actor.
However, the struggle between Wang Jinghua and Hua Yi later also affected him. In 2004, he only filmed one movie, which was a supporting role, "Once Upon a Time in the Movies".
Now that Zhang Chen asks him to play the supporting role of Xia Yu, he will definitely be happy.
Zhang Chen was just about to call Wang Jinghua when he received a call from Han Sanping. The latter directly said on the phone, 'Yu Dong from Bona asked me to invite you, and I want to make peace...'
Yu Dong, want to make peace?
Zhang Chen thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely be there in the evening, and I will take Ning Hao with me then."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Hao next to him looked over curiously: "What's the matter? What's going on? You want to take me with you?”
“Bo Na Yudong wants to make peace. How can you, the rightful owner, not be here when we cede land and pay compensation? By the way, I will introduce you to Boss Han...”
Ning Hao knew that this was a good friend who was introducing people to him again, and he was silently moved in his heart.
At this time, Dong Jianqiang appeared out of nowhere: "I just heard about land cessation for compensation. What land cessation for compensation?"
Ning Hao briefly explained the matter, and Dong Jianqiang immediately decided that he would go with him in the evening.
......
In the evening, Yu Dong and Jiang Wenli arrived first.
Yes, just to be on the safe side, Yu Dong also called Jiang Wenli. After all, the two had worked together and had friendship with each other.
Moreover, Jiang Wenli can be regarded as the producer of "Peacock", and Gu Changwei actually doesn't care much.
"What kind of person is Zhang Chen?" Yu Dong wanted to find out first, so as to be prepared in advance.
Jiang Wenli recalled that Zhang Chen seemed to be easy to talk to. She and Xu Qing fought like that under the instigation of her manager. Zhang Chen didn't say anything in the end, but just asked them to stop.
I was about to say, ‘Zhang Chen is a very nice person’, but then I remembered the press conference two days ago. He didn’t seem to be a good person either.
Suddenly I don’t know how to describe it.
“Be aggressive and protect your shortcomings!”
"How do you say that?"
"Look at him since his debut, when his first work was still a little transparent, he dared to scold Zhang Weiping.
Zhang Weiping was so awesome at that time, with Zhang Yimou behind him , It’s really going sideways. I remember that when filming "Search", many of the crew were old people who came with him and talked a lot about the situation at that time.
It is said that " The popularity of "Dark Invasion" was so high that Zhang Weiping was afraid that it would affect his "House of Flying Daggers", so he made a few belittling remarks in an interview, and then Zhang Chen directly complained...
It’s hard to say who will win in the end, but Zhang Weiping has gained a nickname since then - the man behind Zhang Yimou. "
Yu Dong nodded when he heard the words: "I have understood what you said, including the later meeting between Lu Chuan and the Writers Circle, and it was Lu Chuan who spoke first.
Zhang Chen never seems to suffer, and he never cares about the background of the person opposite him, but he wins every time.
To be honest, I regret a little bit that I tied "Black 2" to promote it. ”
Yu Dong doesn’t feel embarrassed to say such words. He is a businessman, and businessmen value profits. As long as the interests are not damaged, what is face?
"I am also responsible." Jiang Wenli also sighed a little, "No one expected Zhang Chen to be so defensive. Ma Chucheng and Anle Pictures just belittled Ning Hao and were directly banned by him, even if they made less money. Blocked, I hope we still have a chance to make amends."
Yu Dong also felt the same way. When he asked the other party to make peace today, he naturally wanted to investigate Zhang Chen's life history in advance.
The more I investigate, the more I find that this person really seems to have such a personality - aggressive and defensive.
So it is more necessary to make peace.
“What hobbies does he have?”
Yu Dong has always been good at maneuvering.
Jiang Wenli was stunned when she heard this, thought about it, and then said: "Hobby? Does beauty count?"
Seeing Yu Dong look over, she continued to explain: "The filming of "Manslaughter" "At the time, the relationship between him and Xu Qing was not clear. In addition, I heard that he and Fan Binbin also..."
Yu Dong instantly understood that there are many such things in the circle.
But I immediately regretted my mistake. I should have brought two beauties if I had known this.
Just as they were regretting it, Han Sanping's voice sounded at the door: "I'm here. Hey, you guys came so early..."
Yu Dong and Jiang Wenli stood up immediately: "We must have come early, how can we let the leaders wait? We..."
The three of them were chatting. Just as they sat down, Zhang Chen's voice came from the door: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late..."
Everyone stood up again, Han Sanping smiled and said: "It's not too late, the time is just right, and I just arrived."
Zhang Chen greeted everyone while sitting down: "Director Han, Sister Wen Li, Director Yu..."
< br>
Then he pulled Ning Hao beside him: "This is Ning Hao, the second director of our company. Manager Dong won't introduce him. We all know each other. The three of us happened to be together in the afternoon, so we came here together, and I happened to introduce Ning Hao as well." Let's get to know each other..."
Actually, they arrived not too late and within the agreed time limit, but everyone else arrived early.
Everyone nodded. It turns out that this person is Ning Hao. The trigger of this scolding war has a status similar to that of the Crimean Bridge.
"Director Ning has been wronged during this time. Those Hong Kong media always do things without any basis and just talk nonsense..." Han Sanping settled the matter as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Yu Dong heard this, he was about to answer, but Dong Jianqiang had already taken the lead and said: "Yes, those bastards in Hong Kong Island have been talking about the relationship between Ning Hao and Zhang Chen, or they are talking about us. The movie has no artistic quality, you art idiot..."
Dong Jianqiang looks like he is not stingy, he is here to be a celebrity today.
Yu Dong could hear the criticism in the other party's words. The Hong Kong side was indeed making fun of fellow villagers, but said it was not artistic. Hasn't this always been their promotional routine for "Peacock"?
But since we are here to make peace today, we are ready to be scolded.
"Indeed, this kind of behavior is too bad. I think Director Zhang did the right thing. To deal with such people, their movies should not be released..."
Meet Zhang Chen didn't say anything, and Yu Dong simply said: "Speaking of this matter, I have to apologize to Director Zhang. Bundling publicity is indeed our strategy, but Zhang Jingchu's remarks were not directed by us, they were entirely her own. behavior.”
Jiang Wenli also supported her at this time: "Yes, Zhang Chen, I can testify that Bona really wants to ride on the popularity of "Black 2", but Zhang Jingchu is really not in their publicity plan..."
Seeing the sincerity of the two people's attitudes, Zhang Chen couldn't hold on to them any longer.
Han Sanping didn't say anything, but the fact that he stopped the pattern today showed his attitude.
Zhang Chen just accepted it and gave it up: "Dr. Yu, please be polite. I also understand that the company is big and the boss cannot keep an eye on everything. It is inevitable that there will be some misbehavior below..."
"Yes, yes, Director Zhang can understand me. Here I also solemnly say sorry to Director Ning Hao..."
With Yu Dong's attitude being sufficient, Zhang Chen and Ning Hao's anger was almost gone, but Dong Jianqiang was still a little unwilling.
Isn’t it about ceding territory and paying compensation?
That’s it?
Seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, Dong Jianqiang said: "No more than Dong, can I ask you for a favor?"
"I can't ask for help. If you need something, just ask Manager Dong." ." Yu Dong subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"It's like this. Now we are at odds with Ma Chucheng and Anle Pictures. We will definitely attack their films in the future. Let's talk to Director Yu in advance so as not to cause misunderstanding~"
Hearing Dong Jianqiang's words, Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, and then agreed wholeheartedly.
Tung Jianqiang actually told him that in the future you'd better draw a clear line with Ma Chucheng and Anle Pictures, otherwise if you represent their films, we will beat you up.
This is a bit difficult to handle.
Because Bona’s basic base is Hong Kong.
He has been able to get to where he is today by acting as an agent for Hong Kong films.
Hong Kong is famous for its solidarity with the mainland.
If you want this but not that, then don’t want it at all.
But now, he can only deal with this situation first.
