Chapter 211 Rebuilding the old relationship
“Miss Huo, this is the second time we have met.”
Cheng Long and Liang Jiahui have returned to Hong Kong, but Huo Wenxi stayed.
“Director Zhang Chen, it’s a pity that I couldn’t work with Director Zhang on the last “Eden Lake”. I wonder if there is still a chance for “The Rescue” this time?”
Zhang Chen did not reply immediately, but seemed to be thinking. This made Huo Wenxi feel that there was an opportunity and immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Before I came, Boss Yang specifically told me to communicate more with Director Zhang. Originally, he planned to come in person this time, for no other reason than to get to know Director Zhang, but he got caught up in other things. I was specifically asked to say sorry to Director Zhang. Let me know in advance when Director Zhang will go to Hong Kong. Boss Yang will definitely entertain him personally..."
Huo Wenxi said it very politely. Zhang Chen didn't know whether it was a polite word or not. This is what Boss Yang said.
But anyway, the posture is very low.
The King of Kings used to be very good. Boss Yang held Cheng Long, Xie Biwang and twins. It felt like a king bomb, killing gods when meeting gods, and killing Buddha when meeting Buddhas.
Later on, the failure of "New Police Story" made him realize that the current mainland market had changed, and he was a little out of touch.
At the same time, I also realized the importance of mainland directors and began to make good friends with them.
Jiang Wen is his key target.
This time, he frequently expressed goodwill to Zhang Chen.
Because Zhang Chen had scolded King Xie and beat Xiao Bailong before, he didn’t know if the Emperor had a grudge, but he did anyway.
But now looking at Huo Wenxi’s meaning, it seems that the other party doesn’t care at all.
So he was willing to give it a chance.
In the entertainment industry, it is best to have many friends and few enemies.
Boss Yang is pretty good as a person.
Although he is an old sex critic, he is very righteous.
Zeng Zhiwei said on the show that Rong Zuer was ugly, so Boss Yang asked someone to break Zeng Zhiwei's head and sewed more than a dozen stitches, but Zeng Zhiwei did not dare to say anything.
In the Liu Jialing incident, Boss Yang's "East Weekly" published "humiliated" photos of Liu Jialing. Boss Yang immediately ordered the editor-in-chief to apologize, and "East Weekly" permanently suspended publication.
At that time, some people said that Boss Yang was behind this incident, but considering the situation at the time, it should not be the case.
Boss Yang is quite responsible.
Some people say that he is a member of the Number Gang. How is that possible? He was born into the second generation of rich people. There is no need to join the society. He is able to beat the bark of a three-inch tree just because he is rich and powerful.
And this man is also generous and willing to throw away money.
He was optimistic about Cheng Long, so he spent all his money. Cheng Long was so embarrassed that he cooperated with him in a film company.
The same goes for Jiang Wen.
"Sunny Day" lost, it doesn't matter, I will continue to vote for "Let the Bullets Fly".
If the person who moved Jiang Wen was a woman, she might have committed herself to him.
Later "Let the Bullets Fly" made money. At the celebration party, Boss Yang wanted to give Jiang Wen a bonus, but Jiang Wen didn't want it and said it was my turn to give you a bonus this time.
Frankly speaking, this person should be quite charming.
So Zhang Chen is also willing to rebuild the old relationship with him.
“Which role do you want?”
“We don’t choose. Director Zhang will give us whichever one he thinks is suitable. Director Zhang can choose at will from all Emperor’s artists.”
Just kidding, how dare Huo Wenxi negotiate terms with Cheng Long, who can refuse him even if he refuses.
"Forget it Xie Tingfeng, he bullies mainlanders..."
Huo Wenxi still wanted to explain, but Zhang Chen waved his hand, and the latter had to shut up.
“Then let’s play the role of a female singer. I can choose twins. It can be considered a true performance...”
“Thank you so much, Director Zhang.”
Huo Wenxi was overjoyed. He had read the script. The singer was a relatively outstanding supporting role. Zhang Chen was willing to hand it over to them. It can be said that he took great care of her.
And just like Zhang Chen said, it’s a true performance.
This is what the Twins are supposed to do, and they can do this with ease.
Ding Ling Ling~~
The phone rang, Zhang Chen said sorry and walked farther away to answer it.
The voice that came over the phone was Diane's voice: "Boss, have you forgotten that you also have a movie called "Shark Beach" released today?"
Zhang Chen slapped his forehead and he really forgot.
After the copyright is sold, it has nothing to do with him at the overseas box office, so he doesn't worry about it.
Previously, for "Eden Lake", he specifically requested that Colombia release "Shark Beach" in March, just to show off Fan Binbin's face and make the box office of "Eden Lake" stronger.
In such a busy time, I actually forgot about this.
"How is the box office?" "Not bad. On the first day of release, the single-day box office was 6.8 million. Colombia is very satisfied, and New Line is also full of expectations. "Eden Lake" is scheduled to be released in half a month When it is released later, Boss, I have a hunch that "Eden Lake" will definitely do well at the box office."
Di An spoke like a victorious general.
Zhang Chen was also happy.
Although the box office of "Shark Beach" has nothing to do with him, "Eden Lake" is different.
"Lake Eden" is a collaborative project between his North American personal studio and New Line, and it is not a one-time buyout.
"Diane, I'm going to Los Angeles in a few days. Please help me keep an eye on the firearms guidance company in the past two days~"
"Ah, Boss, are you going to start a new movie?"
"Yes, it is a gunfight movie, so a firearms director is needed."
"Do you need me to reveal the news? They will definitely grab your head, Boss, you don't know how many young actors you have now What a great appeal..."
"Hoho, okay, Diane, I can't talk to you anymore. I still have friends here, so I'll hang up now."
After ending the call with Diane, Zhang Chen returned to his seat, and Huo Wenxi immediately sent his blessings.
"Congratulations to Director Zhang for his movie being a hit in North America..."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Although I knew that the other party meant to show kindness, I was still very happy. .
……
Zhang Chen thought that the box office information of "Shark Tank" in North America would soon appear in the newspapers, but it didn't.
In fact, China is not that concerned about developments in the United States.
On the contrary, it was the news of Cheng Long and Liang Jiahui's visit to Star Entertainment that made the headlines in major entertainment pages.
[Cheng Long appeared at Star Entertainment, suspected to be related to the new movie]
[Cheng Long went there in person to discuss the new movie with Zhang Chen]
[Cheng Long and Tony Leung Ka Fai will launch a new collaboration with billionaire director Zhang Chen]
[The cast of Zhang Chen’s new film "Hurricane Rescue" has been announced]
Various titles, but the pictures are all In the same way, the photos of Cheng Long and Liang Jiahui walking into Star Entertainment were taken by unknown paparazzi.
Zhang Chen took a brief look at it and found that every article was full of guesses, but his guesses were quite accurate.
Immediately, reporters rushed to Xingchen Entertainment to interview Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen didn't take it seriously at first, but then more and more reporters asked for interviews. Zhang Chen simply called everyone into the conference room and held a small press conference.
"Okay, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask."
Zhang Chen spread his hands, and there was a burst of laughter from below.
The first reporter immediately asked: "Director Zhang, I want to know if the appearance of Cheng Long and Mr. Liang Jiahui here yesterday is related to your new film?"
Zhang Chen generously said Admitted: "Yes, it is related to the new film."
"Excuse me..."
There was a sudden chatter below, and several reporters wanted to ask questions.
Zhang Chen simply patted the microphone and said: "Okay, everyone, please be quiet. I'll do the talking."
Seeing that there was no more noise, Zhang Chen said again: "The new movie is called " "Hurricane Rescue" is not a disaster movie, it is an action movie, about a rescue story.
You guessed it right, this is a spy movie, I made it to teach Wu Yusen.
In addition, I know what you want to ask. Cheng Long is not the lead actor in this play. The lead actor in this play is Mr. Liang Jiahui. Brother Cheng Long just came to accompany Mr. Liang Jiahui in the audition. "
As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, things started to explode.
There have been rumors in the past two days that Cheng Long has taken a liking to Zhang Chen's role in the new movie and wants to star in it.
< br>Now Zhang Chen suddenly said that Cheng Long was just here to accompany Liang Jiahui for the audition. Only a fool would believe it.
But believe it or not, this is what Zhang Chen said.
After all, Cheng Long is the boss and has to take care of his face.
I believe that the other party will cooperate after knowing Zhang Chen's answer.
But immediately another reporter asked: "Is this spy film aimed at the American market?"
"Of course, some people on the Internet said that I only make low-cost horror films. , lacks international box office, then I have to prove it to them.”
