Most crews, especially top-tier crews, will attach a confidentiality agreement when signing their contracts.
The same goes for "A City Full of Golden Armor".
You must know that before Lao Mouzi filmed "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", when he was training actresses, four guys posted the crew information and casting content on Weibo, and they were criticized by him. Mouzi was fired directly.
When Zhang Yuan went to Lao Mouzi Studio to sign the contract, there was also a contract clause that prohibited secrets from being leaked before filming started.
However, a contract is a contract. If it is really violated, whether it is implemented or not depends on whether the relationship is in place.
But Zhang Yuan wasn't sure how much respect he had with Lao Mouzi.
So when the reporter asked him whether he participated in "The Golden Armor", Zhang Yuan's face almost turned green.
“It’s probably the news leaked from Hua Yi again.”
As soon as Zhang Yuan looked at the bearded old face, he could hardly hold back his joy. He knew that it must be this old man. The boy specially arranged it for himself!
He has always only cared about promotion, not caring about the life or death of artists.
This was one of the main reasons why he was completely ignored and abandoned by the market in the later period.
Needless to say, as soon as the three words Lao Mouzi appeared, Zhang Yuan immediately became the focus of the audience.
Not to mention the media, even the other actors who attended all turned their attention to him.
Liu Xiaoli in the audience was shocked.
“I just finished shooting Feng Xiaogang’s movie, and I’m going to shoot Lao Mouzi’s movie again...”
what to do?
Zhang Yuan was a little panicked.
Say no, deny?
If you appear on the cast list in a few days, you will definitely be ridiculed by the media.
Answer truthfully?
That violates the contract again.
Zhang Yuan now wanted to take off his hat, flick his braids, and walk up to the bearded man with a figure-footed step.
"Zhang Jizhong, do I fuck you!"
But swearing will definitely not work.
Zhang Yuan’s brain was spinning rapidly.
"By the way, the contract only says that I personally cannot leak information about the movie's casting and other related matters."
"This is what Big Beard asked reporters to leak."
"So, even if Everyone knows it, but as long as it is not confirmed by me personally, it is not a breach of contract."
Zhang Yuan first came up with an expedient and had to get rid of himself before talking about the rest.
"Well, thank you for your question." Zhang Yuan's expression returned and he looked at the reporter with a smile.
"My future work arrangements cannot be made public for the time being."
"Then have you participated in the filming of "Golden Armor"?"
"Each media friend can only ask one question. , please leave the opportunity to others," Zhang Yuan greeted immediately.
Pretend not to answer first.
Because he also knows that 90% of the next questions will definitely revolve around his and Lao Mouzi's film.
"Have you met director Zhang Yimou recently?"
"Please give a definition of recent. If it is only within a week, I have not seen him." Zhang Yuan replied truthfully and strictly.
"It is rumored that Teacher Gong Li will join "The Golden Armor". Do you look forward to cooperating with her?"
"Teacher Gong Li is a senior who I admire very much. She has been with me since I debuted." I have been looking forward to working with her since then.”
“I heard that Jay Chou has joined the film. Will you have many scenes with him?”
"Jay and I had many scenes together in the previous "Initial D". If you want to watch it, you can buy the CD..."
It is basically recognized by China that the Hong Kong media is very evil.
But after this group of tricky people launched an all-out attack, everyone was surprised to find that the young leading actor on the stage had managed to avoid any blind spots.
Basically practiced Chen Style Tai Chi to the extreme.
Traditional interviews are all about effort. More than 200 Hong Kong paparazzi could not pry Zhang Yuan's mouth.
After the defense is out, it is natural to use traditional Kung Fu to return the favor to the other side.
"Okay, today is the press conference for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Everyone should ask some questions related to the TV series."
"What do you think, Director Zhang?" Zhang Yuanzhuan He turned his head and looked at Zhang Jizhong.
The bearded man had to immediately stand up and interrupt all questions.
Liu Xiaoli in the audience kept stretching her head and looking around.
She also knew that the crew would have confidentiality clauses, so after seeing reporters asking questions just now, she was worried about Zhang Yuan.
What she didn't expect was that Zhang Yuan dealt with it very skillfully and basically overcome all the pitfalls.
Aunt Liu said to herself, this guy reacts so quickly!
When most people encounter this situation, they either look bad or panic.
It is indeed remarkable that he can still deal with the media calmly and calmly.
He looked at his daughter again and thought of her frequent "disconnection" behavior during media interviews.
When I went to Baodao to promote "Dragon Movie", Zhang Fei's eldest brother, who is also Fei Yuqing's brother, said: "Is it right for Liu Qianqian to watch my TV show since she was a child?"
"Tell the truth. , I really don’t know you..."
Later, when filming "Four Famous Catchers", Wen Ruian shook hands with her backstage at the press conference.
“Which character in my book is your favorite?”
"I haven't read your original work..."
Highlight a person who is honest but never lies.
This is true in front of others and behind the camera.
But it is somewhat easy for others to get off the stage, and Liu Xiaoli is also quite confused about this.
Because it’s the same when talking to her at home.
"It would be great if I could learn this from Zhang Yuan..."
After finally making it to the end of the press conference, Zhang Yuan stood up, bowed to thank everyone, and left the studio with a smile on his face.
As soon as I go out, I lose face instantly.
The others knew immediately that the bearded man must not have communicated with him in advance.
“This bearded man is so wicked!” Chen Zihan squinted his big moist eyes in dissatisfaction.
"It's not good. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. I wouldn't have known how to deal with it." Sister Meng Guangmei also scolded the bearded man behind his back for being stinky and shameless.
Only Liu Qianqian was so naive that she didn't expect this, and she pulled him to ask with a smile on her face.
"Zhang Yuan Zhang Yuan, are you really going to act in Lao Mouzi's play?"
Zhang Yuan:...
Were you not present during the interview just now?
This isn't a hint, it's an explicit statement, and you didn't even catch it?
On second thought, she was also happy that she felt progress.
"Yes, but remember to keep it secret."
"I know." Xiao Longnu jumped for joy: "If you have time later, go shopping with me."
" Okay, but you have to go through all the announcements first.”
After making an appointment with her, Zhang Yuan turned around, found a deserted corner, and quickly called Zhang Weiping.
Tell this person what happened.
"This big beard...hehehe."
Huh?
Zhang Yuan was startled, why was this person happy instead of angry?
He slapped himself on the back of the head.
“Forgot, this guy is also a master of hype.”
“You and Big Beard have grown to appreciate each other, right?”
Zhang Weiping doesn’t care about keeping secrets. That's Lao Mouzi's business.
He only cares about whether the publicity is in place, after all, it is related to his own income.
With such a commotion, the Hong Kong media will definitely report it continuously. When the time comes, it will be exported to domestic sales and hyped up, and it will gain a wave of popularity in vain.
In addition, the reason why Zhang Weiping is happy is also related to what he is doing now.
He is having a meeting with the CEOs of more than a dozen theater chains to discuss the issue of box office sharing for "The Golden Armor".
A few years ago, with "Hero", Zhang Weiping divided the box office split between the producers at 40/60.
That is, the producers, promoters, and producers receive 40% of the box office, and the remaining 60% is divided between cinemas and theater chains.
Prior to this, the domestic box office splitting model had always been 35/65!
When it came to "House of Flying Daggers", Lao Zhang started to compete with theaters again and raised the ratio to 41/59.
This time with "The Golden Armor", he wanted to raise it to a higher level, talking about 42/58.
Until 2009, Radio and Television issued a policy that set the bottom line of account sharing at 43/57.
And the movie theater’s share ratio must not be higher than 50%.
So it became a model of 50% for theaters and 7% for theater chains.
In 2011, Zhang Weiping "returned the king" with "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and wanted to bring the ratio to 45/55. As a result, he was beaten by the eight major theaters and lost for the first time.
In the coming year, the five major distribution companies, China Film, Huayi, Bona, SMI, and Enlight, together with a number of blockbusters, will collectively issue announcements after the 18th National Congress, once again demanding that the ratio be increased to 45/55.
But Zhang Weiping was able to succeed because he, as the leader, challenged the theaters alone.
The five major publishers seem to be powerful, but in fact they all have their own agendas.
Especially Bona and Huayi.
When Bona's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was causing trouble the previous year, he offered to lower the share ratio in exchange for more films.
It just happened that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was released one day later than him.
And because of this incident, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" still lost money despite a box office of 600 million, which indirectly led to a complete breakup between Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi.
So this time the five companies join forces, everyone is afraid that Bona will rebel again.
With such mutual suspicion, coupled with the extremely tough attitude of the theaters, it finally turned into a prisoner's dilemma.
On the surface, Hua Yi took the lead in making compromises for "1942".
Actually, China Film Group Corporation was behind this film, and Singmei also had a close relationship with China Film Group Corporation. Together with Bona, the second-in-command, the five major distributors became the Four Heavenly Kings plus Raytheon.
Guang Guang came back to his senses, looked around and scratched his head, I have become a horse country!
You all shouted "good job" and "don't lose share to our publisher", but I was the only one in the hall!
Guangguang's boss Wang said to himself, you guys in the imperial circle are just playing tricks on people, right?
Because his ancestral home is the Northeast, he went to school in the Magic City, he has the furthest relationship with the Imperial Capital, and he is not a disciple of the big courtyard.
But the box office champion that year was Enlight’s “囧”, which beat Hua Yi’s “1942” into a fool, which was considered a relief.
At this moment, Zhang Weiping is arguing with the theater chain.
Big Beard and Zhang Yuan sent a wave of heat out of thin air, which was like helping him sharpen the spear in his hand.
Huh... Zhang Yuan put down his phone, and Zhang Weiping said he would help him go and say hello to Lao Mouzi.
When Lao Mouzi found out about this the next day, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. At the same time, he scolded the bearded man for not practicing martial ethics.
After all, Liu Ye is still in the hospital, and Zhang Yuan is his best choice at this time.
At any other time, he could have started casting again.
But now that he is busy with two tasks, one is working on movies and the other is the Olympic opening ceremony, he really has no time to go back and forth.
At this time, the filming of "A City Full of Golden Armor" has actually begun. It's just that when filming the scene of Wulong Tiansheng Three Bridges, the entire film crew was in Sichuan.
The crew spent more than three million just to build the post house.
After the filming of this part is completed and the crew comes to Hengdian, Zhang Yuan will join the crew.
And in order to prove himself, Zhang Yuan also sent the full video of the press conference to Lao Mouzi.
After watching it for a while, Lao Mouzi smiled and turned off the TV.
"This kid is quite interesting. He just pretends to be blind and refuses to admit it or answer directly."
"He has a pretty good brain..."
Look at him. Not only was Lao Mouzi not dissatisfied with the dance on the tip of the knife, he actually admired it.
Back to now.
After the press conference, the bearded man took Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian to a magnificent restaurant.
Arriving at a large private room, Zhang Yuan walked forward with two gift boxes in his hands.
"Hello, Mr. Jin."
"Oh, hello." Mr. Jin obviously didn't want to attend this kind of publicity event.
Although Big Beard had said hello in advance and promised that he would only take the male and female protagonists with him, and that there would be only one machine for filming, just a few words would be enough.
But I rest well at home, but I feel annoyed when I go out.
His attitude towards several people was neither cold nor indifferent until...
"Mr. Jin, I brought some wine specially." Zhang Yuan took out a few bottles of liquor from the gift bag.
Although the packaging has been torn off, everyone can tell that this thing is Moutai.
Zhang Yuan is still endorsing Jiannanchun, so it would be inappropriate to take out other brands of liquor in public.
Anyway, it’s the same as the press conference just now. You know it’s Moutai, I know it’s Moutai, but I won’t say it’s Moutai, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
After traveling thousands of miles to see the old man, Zhang Yuan felt that it would be interesting to see Maotai.
When Mr. Jin saw the wine, his eyes lit up.
His name has changed.
“Come on, come on, my Yang Guo, sit down quickly.”
Look, let’s just say Moutai is old men’s hard currency.
As soon as he drank, the old man's chatterbox also opened up.
Encouragement, encouragement, motivation.
I drank several glasses of shrimp dumplings with the afternoon tea, obviously I was really craving for wine.
To say that a big beard is indeed unauthentic.
When the food was almost gone, he winked again as he did during the press conference.
His assistant took out the Four Treasures of the Study from his briefcase.
Jin Laoyi took a look, you didn’t say before that you want me to write again.
Suddenly his complexion darkened.
Zhang Yuan knew as soon as he saw Mr. Jin that he had the same problem as him.
I glanced at my big beard and thought, if you give me a haircut, I will give you a haircut too.
Then he spoke.
"Mr. Jin, the last time you came to the set, you wrote me subtitles."
"I also have a lot of research on calligraphy. When I come to Xiangjiang, how about I give it to you? Write one.”
The bearded man was startled, but he didn’t expect Zhang Yuan to grab the job at this time.
What kind of person is Mr. Jin? Despite his age, he has a very quick mind.
After glancing at the bearded man's expression and the look Zhang Yuan gave him, he knew that this boy was helping him to cause trouble for the bearded man.
"Okay, I am willing to exchange calligraphy with young people!" Mr. Jin immediately answered.
The old man said so, and the camera was still filming, so the bearded man had to keep silent.
Zhang Yuan smiled and picked up a wolf hair, rubbed it lightly with ink, and then picked up the pen.
Liu Qianqian couldn't say anything, but when she remembered her birthday, Zhang Yuan passed on the words of encouragement given to him by Mr. Jin to herself, and she felt sweet in her heart.
After Zhang Yuan thought for a few seconds, he finally put pen to paper.
"If there is no bad situation at the head of the river, it will be difficult for others to travel in this world."
"Okay!"
In one go, the fourteen-character regular script is as choppy as a knife and an axe, It fell on the snow-white rice paper.
Mr. Jin immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
"My Yang Guo is quite powerful." He thought to himself.
These two lines of poems come from Xin Qiji's "Partridge Sky: Farewell".
In Lao Jin's "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", Murong Fu had a subordinate named Fengbo Evil, whose name comes from this poem.
So he could tell at a glance that Zhang Yuan specially chose this poem that was closely related to himself as the author.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan played Murong Fu, so he is very close to himself.
The meaning of this poem is: There are strong winds and high waves at the head of the river, but they are far less difficult than traveling on earth.
And why is it difficult to travel on earth... It's because there are villains.
Jin Lao glanced at the bearded man. It was self-evident who the villain was.
In such a short period of time, I was able to find a poem that fit the identity of the two people and also satirized the bearded man. This kid's mind and personality are indeed very similar to Yang Guo.
Mr. Jin raised his glasses and looked at the words carefully.
"Not only is he quick in reaction, he also has a good mind."
"The word key is also good!"
Jin Laoke has communicated with Qi Gong. In the literary circle, calligraphy is considered good, but Just in literary circles.
So he understood at a glance that Zhang Yuan definitely had a good foundation in writing this character, and he was not just writing randomly.
He estimated that after five years of hard training and ten years of accumulation, it would be difficult to achieve such an achievement.
"Good calligraphy, good calligraphy..." Mr. Jin praised.
Liu Qianqian smiled and narrowed her glasses when she saw that the old man was exaggerating and writing well. She was even happier than herself at being praised.
"I didn't expect that my Yang Guo has such high attainments in calligraphy. It's very good. I should encourage him." Mr. Jin said and stood up with crutches.
"Since Yang Guo has written it, I will also write one."
"Okay!" The bearded man clapped quickly and grinned.
What I want is for the old man to write.
And now it has become a situation where Jin Daxia and Yang Guo exchange calligraphy.
Wouldn’t that be wonderful.
But when he watched Mr. Jin write word by word.
How can Hezai be gone? It’s simply not good!
"The world's sentiments are weak, and human sentiments are evil. When the rain comes at dusk, flowers tend to fall."
This poem comes from "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix·The World's Sentiment is Poor" written by Tang Wan in the Song Dynasty.
Many people are not familiar with this female poet, but her ex-husband wrote "Wang Shibei fixed the day of the Central Plains, and he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices", "There is no way out after mountains and rivers, and there are dark willows and bright flowers." Lu You and Lu Fangweng of "One Village".
Because Tang Wan was infertile for several years after their marriage, the couple was forced to separate at the request of their family.
There is no need to explain this poem. You can see from the literal meaning that it is talking about the coldness and evil of human beings in the world.
The bearded man cleared his throat, knowing that it was directed at him.
He said to himself, the novelist is so dirty when he curses people!
Looked at Zhang Yuan again.
Well, actors are also dirty when they curse!
"Jin Laosonghe prolongs his life. He writes vigorously and writes well." Zhang Yuan immediately held it up and said.
"The words are good, but the intention is even better!" he continued.
Big Beard: You can just curse out loud...
"I think you are also young and promising, and you are talented in writing. If you have the opportunity to come to Xiangjiang in the future, you can come to me to exchange calligraphy." Jin The old man took the initiative to send out invitations.
In addition to practicing calligraphy, we can also scold Zhang Jizhong together, which is fun.
"I'll definitely come and visit." Zhang Yuan bowed to thank him and accepted the calligraphy treasure.
"Hey, don't accept it yet, let's take a picture of you two holding up the words..." The cameraman was still making arrangements.
“Stop shooting.” The bearded man waved his hand.
“I want to take pictures.” Zhang Yuan and Mr. Jin both happily raised the calligraphy and painting.
The two of them looked harmonious and admired by their ancestors and grandchildren.
Everyone present felt that this scene was warm and harmonious...except the bearded man.
Liu Qianqian didn't see any clues. This girl was simple-minded. She only knew that Mr. Jin liked Zhang Yuan very much and invited him to study calligraphy together in the future.
But Liu Xiaoli is an old Jianghu after all, she sees it in her eyes and understands it in her heart.
"Zhang Yuan is becoming more and more like a general."
"Whether he was facing the media just now, or now he is mocking the bearded man with Mr. Jin."
"Both. The style of a big star, steady but not timid.”
"Who would dare to ridicule Zhang Jizhong in person if it were any other actor of his age?"
"Hehehe..." Liu Xiaoli chuckled. In this regard, she quite liked Zhang Yuan.
I chatted with Mr. Jin for a while. He was old and couldn't bear to deal with it for a long time.
Everyone dispersed early.
Liu Qianqian was happy because it was still early and she could take Zhang Yuan to go shopping with her for a while.
Several people were talking as they walked out of the hotel door, and then...
Click!
Click!
Click!
Shutter sounds are everywhere!
"Mr. Zhang Yuan, is it true that you participated in the filming of "The Golden Armor"?"
"Have you determined to become the next man-hunter?"
Zhang Yuan:...
I have only heard of Mou Girl.
Suddenly, countless reporters and media rushed up, and more than a dozen microphones were aimed at him.
If he hadn't shut up quickly, he would have almost experienced the treatment Li Xiaoran received every night on the set of "The Night Banquet" a while ago.
And the reporters’ questions are getting more and more outrageous.
"Is it possible for you and Gong Li to develop a sister-brother relationship?"
Gong Li is five or six years younger than Liu Xiaoli. You ask this kind of question...
< br>Zhang Yuan understood that the news at the press conference must have spread throughout Hong Kong, and reporters all over Hong Kong were staring at him.
Mr. Jin shook his head when he saw this battle and turned his head to look at him.
"Yang Guo, you are so popular now..." (End of Chapter)
