Chapter 315: Soaking Wolfberries in a Thermos Cup
After the meal, Zhang Chen declined the invitation to continue drinking tea.
Hong Kong people really love drinking tea. They drink tea in the morning, drink tea at noon, drink tea in the afternoon, drink tea in the evening...
You can skip the meal, but you can’t skip the tea~
Sitting in the car provided by Boss Yang, Zhang Chen arrived at the set of "Kowloon Walled City".
Due to the co-production agreement, most of the scenes in "Kowloon Walled City" were actually shot in China, but the exterior scenes had to be in Hong Kong.
Today we filmed a scene of a confrontation between the police and a society in the Walled City.
Xie Miao and his team of special police officers were blocked when they entered the Kowloon Walled City. The police wanted to enter the Kowloon Walled City for rescue, but were blocked by the people in the Walled City.
Due to historical reasons, the Kowloon Walled City did not care about its boundaries and thus became a place outside the law.
The Hong Kong police have no right to enter the walled city to arrest people, and it is illegal to seize the pedestrians.
So they can only get out on their own, otherwise no one can help them.
The person responsible for playing the police chief is Liti Chung.
At this time, Zhong Liti was dressed like a high-ranking police officer, with a face full of righteousness and a righteous speech.
Well, Zhang Chen happened to see him dressed like this two days ago, but the tailoring of his uniform was more appropriate.
Changing roles was a special modification made by Lu Yang.
He felt that it was inappropriate to change the role of the rescuer to a woman. Although there were women in the real Kowloon Walled City, it was a bit inappropriate to appear in the movie.
With the level of ruthlessness they showed, it would be unreasonable for a female character to appear without some other actions, but if she did other actions it would not be easy to pass the review, so we simply arranged it for Zhong Liti played the role of a police chief.
I show my face a lot, there is no risk, and I can explain something to Zhang Chen.
After Zhang Chen arrived, he didn't say anything when he noticed Lu Yang's operation.
Proposing a role to Zhong Li was originally a last-minute idea. The movie is the most important thing. He can't put the cart before the horse.
"Ka, this one passed~"
Seeing Zhang Chen, Lu Yang immediately shouted "Ka", and then ran over in a hurry.
"Senior brother, why are you here?"
"Well, I have to go back to the mainland soon. Before I leave, I came over to take a look. How was it? Did nothing happen again?"< br>
“No, Ruian has been honest since the fight with Zhou Billy.”
"Did they fight? When did they fight? Why didn't you call me?" Zhang Chen was a little unhappy.
He would definitely want to watch the two masters fight. He had long reminded Lu Yang to call him when the time came.
Lu Yang shouted that he was wronged: "I called, it was the night before yesterday. I called you and you said you didn't have time. You seemed to be exercising at that time. I heard you were still breathing heavily. Come on~"
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Liti in the distance without leaving any trace.
Zhang Chen was embarrassed, and then he remembered that something like this happened. At that time, he was in the final sprint, and it was when fireworks were setting off in his mind. Even if he heard it, he probably wouldn't be distracted.
"Oh, what was the final result?"
"Let's call it a draw. The fight was very fierce. The two of them were about the same strength and their moves were fierce. I was worried that in the end the fight would hurt each other and affect the shooting, so Stop it~"
"But since then, the martial arts crew has become honest."
Zhang Chen nodded, martial arts people are generally rough people. These people. They rely on their ability to earn a living, so they are all arrogant.
But these people also recognize fists. If you have big fists, then you are the boss and I will listen to you.
Billy Chow has been well-known in the Hong Kong film industry for a long time and is famous for his ability to fight.
Although Ruian is a newcomer, his ability to tie with Zhou Billy shows his strength.
Martial arts practitioners still respect those who have strength.
"Okay, since the crew has nothing to do, I will go back to the mainland in the afternoon. After I leave, if anything happens here, you can go to Boss Yang and he will help solve it~"
Dong Jianqiang has already I have made several calls and kept urging him to go back. If it weren't for Zhong Liti, he would have left a few days ago.
In addition, New Line has been asking him when he will leave for the United States. The actors of "A Quiet Place" are already familiar with each other, and the preliminary preparations have been completed. The agreed start time is getting closer, but Zhang Chen has not come yet. , they were a little worried.
......
That night, Zhang Chen landed at the Capital Airport. Surprisingly, he was on the same flight as Liang Jiahui.
“Why are you back again?”
“I accepted an event and a tailor from a big hotel invited me, and “Underworld” will be released soon~”
< br>
Tony Leung has been really popular these past two days. Three movies were released throughout October, and they all played important roles.
"Taken" is the absolute protagonist, "Myth" is an important supporting role, and "Underworld", which will be released soon, is also one of the protagonists.
"Didn't Director Du come over with you?"
"He has something to do, so he will be two days late."
"Underworld" will be released earlier in Hong Kong than in the mainland , there was no way, the film bureau was dissatisfied with some parts and sent it back for re-editing, which wasted time.
The next day the person appeared in the office area of Xingchen Entertainment.
"Hello, Director Zhang~"
"Hello, Director Zhang~" The greetings are endless. In the company, Zhang Chen likes everyone to call him Director Zhang instead of Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Chen nodded to everyone with a smile, and then walked into his office.
The office was spotless, obviously cleaned every day.
Zhang Chen took out the water glass he carried with him and took a sip. The bland boiled water had no taste whatsoever.
Not long after, "Hello, Mr. Dong" came from outside, and then Dong Jianqiang's voice sounded: "Is Director Zhang here?"
"Here, in his office "Inside."
Sure enough, after a while, footsteps sounded outside, and then Dong Jian pushed the door open and entered.
"You kid, you are finally willing to come back~"
Zhang Chen glanced at him, "I've only been away for a few days. I only have one phone call left and right. Why are you so anxious to have sex with me?"< br>
Dong Jianqiang spat, "Would I be greedy for your dirty body? I don't know how many little girls want to have sex with me every day..."
"Tch~"
Dong Jianqiang looked like he was too lazy to joke with you: "You don't care about the company at all. You don't care about "Hurricane Rescue". When "Wulin Gaiden" started airing, you didn't even ask me about the ratings..."
< br>
While talking, Zhang Chen kept rummaging in the cabinet. Dong Jianqiang thought the other party was looking for tea, but he didn't expect that what Zhang Chen found in the end was a box of wolfberries.
Seeing Zhang Chen grabbing wolfberries into the cup, Dong Jianqiang burst into laughter.
"What, are you tired from being in Hong Kong these two days? You even drank wolfberry when you came back..."
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "How come, it's about keeping in good health, keeping in good health, you know? Don't you understand? "
"You haven't graduated from college yet. What kind of life do you want to maintain your health? "
Zhang Chen ignored him: "You don't understand. You have to start keeping in good health from a young age, otherwise it will be too late when you are your age..."
Looking at what Zhang Chen said, Dong Jianqiang also became interested: "Have you been feeling upset, hot and humid lately, and have night sweats?"
"Yeah."
"Are you still dizzy and having tinnitus?"
"Ah, how did you know?"
"You have kidney deficiency." Dong Jianqiang chuckled.
"Go away, you have a weak kidney." Of course Zhang Chen couldn't admit this kind of thing.
Dong Jianqiang didn't care: "Look, look, you are the most characteristic symptom of kidney deficiency - a tough talk."
The two joked for a while and finally got down to business. : ""Taken" has been in theaters for 20 days, with a box office of 171 million, and the breakthrough of 200 million is just around the corner."
Zhang Chen has no interest at all in whether it will exceed 200 million, and shows a lack of interest.
"Brother, you don't take the 200 million yuan club seriously. Currently, only Zhang Yimou has this qualification. If you make a breakthrough, you will be second."
"Second is not first. , what’s so great about it. By the way, how is the preparation for my teacher’s movie?”
“The filming of “Falling Leaves Returns to Roots” has been started and is currently being filmed in Jiangxi. The crew was created by yourself.”< br>
Zhang Chen nodded, Mr. Fu is from Nortel, so it is not unusual to have a crew.
“Has it been scheduled yet?”
"Not yet. We have to wait for the finished film to come out and see how it goes. Then we have to discuss the schedule. After all, it is your teacher's film, and the box office is too bad to be good...
By the way, I heard that Lu Yang Something happened over there?"
Zhang Chen nodded: "Something happened, but it has been dealt with. I dissed Fatty Hong a few times in "Qiang Qiang Threesome", his apprentice Zou Zhaolong. I couldn't stand it, so I just thought of hurting Xie Miao to vent his anger on Fatty Hong..."
Dong Jianqiang's expression suddenly changed.
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Don't worry, Xie Miao is fine. A recorder helped him block it. Zou Zhaolong also had his leg broken by Lu Yian."
"Well, I will reward these two people well when I come back."
Lao Dong used to be a director of Guangzhou Film and Television, and film companies often make some small moves when they are engaged in distribution, such as competing for poster resources in movie theaters. It is inevitable that there will be some conflicts, and Lao Dong appreciates people who can resist conflicts.
"Well, that scene record has a director's dream. I have already promoted him as an assistant director. He has been given the opportunity to grow. Let's see if he can grasp it. As for Ruian, he should be rewarded. This The guy has a high martial arts value and knows how to take shots. He is a good martial artist. Let’s arrange for him to learn Chinese. If possible, try to stay in our company.”
Dong Jianqiang nodded, and Zhang Chen said again: "This matter is not over yet. Fatty Hong went to Cheng Long to intercede and asked Zou Zhaolong to pour tea and admit his mistake. But they were admitting their mistakes to Boss Yang, not us. To put it bluntly, they still disdain our Xingchen Entertainment, so I let it go. From now on, Hong We will arrange one of Fatty's movies to have him fight in the ring..."
"Hell, that's what he should do. These guys think they are so great, so they have to beat them until they call them dad, so that they can see clearly. location.”
"Well, so keep an eye on him for me. When their movie "Sha Po Lang" is released, "Kowloon Walled City" will be released."
"Understood, okay, don't keep saying Let me tell you something that makes people unhappy. Can you guess the ratings for the premiere of "Wulin Gaiden"? "
Tung Jianqiang looked narrow-minded.
What the hell, didn’t you say that? Why are you asking me to guess? But just by looking at this guy’s expression, you can tell it’s definitely not low: “Breaking 2?”
“It’s conservative, just premiere it directly It broke 3, and broke 6 the next day. It has been broadcast for five days now, and the highest ratings broke 9, crushing CCTV's "Dae Jang Geum" in the same period..."
It's no wonder that Dong Jianqiang looks triumphant. This achievement is indeed incredible.
Just, what did you just say, CCTV's "Dae Jang Geum"?
