This star is too fierce

Chapter 349, hands are not empty, heart is empty
"Senior brother!"

"Brother, it's so early."

Lu Bu saw Zhang Jin in the waiting area. This guy was dressed in a black suit and had his hair combed back. He looked very stylish.

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "I just arrived for a while."

Lu Bu then asked, "Are your uncles and aunts okay?"

Zhang Jin nodded and said, "It's all good, they miss you all the time, let me see you and tell you that I have time to go back and have a meal."

Lu Bu's heart warmed up, and he said, "Wait for a while, you also know that I have more things to do this year."

Zhang Jin said with a "hmm" and said, "It's okay, you go to business first."

Lu Bu glanced around, and asked again: "The "Kung Fu" crew didn't come just the two of us, did they?"

Zhang Jin spread his hands and said, "That's true."

"Kung Fu" won 10 nominations in this year's Golden Horse Awards, including Best Actor Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Supporting Actress Award, Best Film, Best Director, Best Action Design Award, etc. .

However, due to his unexpected defeat in the Golden Statue Awards and being rejected by the Golden Rooster Awards, Zhou Yuchi was a little disheartened. He felt that there was little hope of winning the Golden Horse Awards this time, so he did not come.

Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu were filming in Xiangjiang, so they couldn't get away.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "Where's Huang Shengyi?"

Zhang Jin was taken aback when he heard this question, and said, "You don't know?"

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "Know what?"

Zhang Jin explained: "She broke up with Master Xing's company and is in the middle of a lawsuit. This time, she didn't report a single award."

"Ah?" Lu Bu really didn't know about this matter, so he asked, "Why?"

Huang Shengyi, who has not yet graduated from university last year, became famous overnight with "Kung Fu". She starred in a movie for the first time. Not only is she crowned as a star girl, she has also been shortlisted for several major awards such as the Golden Statue Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Newcomer.

When Zhou Suichi was casting for a movie, he asked not to wear makeup but to wear simple clothes. He wanted a pure and elegant feeling. At that time, Huang Shengyi, who was only in his early 20s, had a pure appearance and temperament, even without makeup. In the end, he was selected and signed an eight-year contract with Xinghui Company.

Zhou Yuchi is famously strict on the set. Lu Bu has seen this before, but he is very patient with Huang Shengyi. During the scene, he will show her several moves and ask her opinion. This action is shocking. all staff.

After the film was released, Huang Shengyi, who was known as a star girl on her head, became popular overnight. Every time she appeared, she always attracted a lot of media attention. During that time, the relationship between Huang Shengyi, Zhou Xingchi, and Xinghui Company was good everywhere. Yi's mouth was also perfect: "Master Xing is my idol, and the reason why I signed the contract for such a long period of 8 years is because Master Xing gave me the opportunity to make movies, and the company also respects artists very much, and is not so authoritarian."

However, less than a year after the film was released, Huang Shengyi, who was about to graduate this year, had a dispute with Xinghui Company to terminate the contract.

Huang Shengyi, who praised Xinghui company for respecting artists and giving artists a lot of space earlier, turned around and cried to the media reporters. The company forced and threatened her to accept drama appointments and endorsements, and accepted various activities for her without discussion, even Threatened by the filming of "Kung Fu 2".

On the other hand, Xinghui Company stated that it was Huang Shengyi who took on private work and took a large-scale photo shoot, which violated the company and contract regulations, and will freeze her indefinitely.

Huang Shengyi then filed a lawsuit in court, suing Zhou Suichi and Xinghui Company together, and his attitude was very firm, and he also publicly said: "No matter how high the price is, I must leave."

After Zhang Jin finished talking about the cause and effect, he sighed: "You said this was a big mess. She had a good chance to win the Best New Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards. It's a pity."

However, Lu Bu frowned, and said, "This is unreasonable. I just tasted the taste of red, and another college student who just graduated. Where did she get the courage to file a lawsuit? There is someone behind her?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jin smiled, and said, "You're right. I read from media reports that her boyfriend is very rich, a rich second generation, and she seems to be..." Speaking of this, he paused , looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one nearby, and then whispered: "Little San stepped in."

Lu Bu shook his head when he heard it, but it made sense, as there were people supporting him and making suggestions.

For example, portraying herself as a weak side, shedding tears in front of media reporters, expressing that she can't sleep at night and mentally depressed, etc. If someone hadn't helped her think about these things, how could her little girl understand such an extremely complicated matter of contract termination? many.

However, who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, is actually not important, because the reputation of both sides will be affected, Huang Shengyi will definitely carry the words "ungrateful", and Zhou Yuchi and Xinghui Company will also be punished. Put the label of "bullying the small with the big".

This is the reason why Lu Bu is unwilling to sign the company. It's okay if nothing happens, but it's troublesome when something happens.

Zhang Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Through this incident, I admire you and Baye even more. Neither the Mengjiang Studio nor the Yuanjiaban have used many clauses to stipulate the freedom of dead members."

Lu Bu didn't think too much about it at the time, it was purely to dispel the idea of ​​other companies wanting to sign him. Later, with Yu Feihong, it was her idea to sign someone or something.

The two were chatting when a familiar figure came over and said to Lu Bu in very poor Mandarin: "Hey, isn't Jie a generation of children's cauldron!"

Who else is it not Cai Shaofen? Lu Bu was confused by this title, but quickly realized that neither he nor Hu Jing acted in the sequel "Legend of the Spiritual Realm" of "Water Moon Cave", and Tong Bo became Yu Bo, Doudou turned into Cai Shaofen, so he said, "Hello."

Cai Shaofen said politely: "Hello."

Seeing her holding Zhang Jin's hand, a look of surprise flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, are they together?

Zhang Jin quickly explained: "I, my girlfriend."

When people fall in love, they always hide and hide. These two are doing the opposite, being open and generous.

Lu Bu wanted to give them a thumbs up.

It turned out that the two met each other when filming "Legend of the Spirit Realm" at the beginning of the year.

But what's interesting is that Zhang Jin's first confession failed.

Cai Shaofen has only one sentence: "We can still be friends."

However, early the next morning, Cai Shaofen called Zhang Jin: "Are you up yet?"

Zhang Jin was puzzled like the second monk Zhang Er, he obviously refused, why was he in such a hurry to greet me?

A few days later, Zhang Jin confessed again, but was still rejected.

Strange to say, Cai Shaofen became more and more clingy to Zhang Jin even though he failed every time he confessed his love.

Zhang Jin thought to himself: Is this person a little nervous?

With more and more interactions, the two became more and more familiar, and Zhang Jin's third confession finally succeeded.

However, Cai Shaofen has three rules for Zhang Jin, "no publicity, no kissing, no holding hands".

However, the so-called three chapters of the agreement were broken by Cai Shaofen himself the next day.

That being the case, simply don't engage in any underground romance.

Hearing the process of the two falling in love, Lu Bu wanted to laugh a little, the plot was the same as acting.

However, the Hong Kong media are all criticizing this relationship. Cai Shaofen made his debut at the age of 15, and was elected as Miss Hong Kong at the age of 17. He has already become popular and dominated TVB's major film and television dramas. A martial arts instructor with a bit of a reputation, and the occasional small role.

Lu Bu didn't think so.

A little fame?
The one who won the Academy Award for Best Martial Arts Instructor just has a little bit of fame?

I don't even go to the martial arts circle to inquire. Among the new generation of martial arts instructors, who is better than Zhang Jin?

In terms of acting, it is relatively weak, but this does not mean that it will not rise in the future.

The three chatted for a while, and then someone joined in.

who?Xu Krypton.

Although the word-of-mouth and box office of "Seven Swords" are not good, it was still nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, Best Cinematography Award, Best Action Direction Award...etc. seven awards at the Golden Horse Awards.

Since they were all small prizes, Xu Krypton and Shi Nansheng came.

"Director Xu, the martial arts instructor can consider my senior brother." Lu Bu recommended to Xu Krypton.

"Okay, I'm very relieved that you brothers and sisters join forces." Xu Krypton, an old fox, directly pulled Lu Bu on.

Among all action directors, he is a master of genre films who follow the "chivalrous route". His perfect interpretation of the audio-visual feast in martial arts films has an important aesthetic charm. The action design in the film has far surpassed the martial arts action itself, and has a strong visual impact. .

And he has cooperated with many martial arts instructors, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Liu Jialiang, etc., are all top in the circle.

Therefore, there are very high standards in the selection of martial arts instructors.

"A Chinese Ghost Story: The Way of the 4 Days" is regarded by him as a turning point, and he will not be sloppy.

Before that, Cheng Xiaodong was the No.1 choice in his mind, for the simple reason that he was the director and action director of the first three films in the series, and he could guarantee the unity of style.

However, it has been 3 years since "A Chinese Ghost Story 14: Dao Dao Dao" was released, and Cheng Xiaodong's style has also undergone some changes. Whether he can reproduce the previous taste is unknown.

Now that Lu Bu said this, he suddenly felt that the combination of [Lu Bu + Zhang Jin] was not bad.

First, the action style suits him.

Second, the audience likes it.

The second point is especially important.

Take his Pujie trilogy as an example. The action director of "Shushan Biography" and "Black Man 2" is Yuan Heping, and the action director of "Seven Swords" is Liu Jialiang. Dare you say that martial arts is not good?

So, the audience's liking is king.

Zhang Jin thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Junior Brother, and thank you Director Xu."

Cai Shaofen followed in a dignified manner: "Junior Brother Xie Xie, Director Xie Xie."

In a blink of an eye, it was their turn to walk the red carpet.

Lu Bu doesn't work hard, and the highlights are half.

However, he is still the brightest star.

The fans' cheers and the media reporters' pursuit were the craziest in the audience.

It's not that he doesn't want to live.

The problem is that Baodao Province is too far away, it is inconvenient to consign Heifeng, and the chance of winning the prize is small, so I don't bother to get it.

Otherwise, come up with a Meng Yi shape.

Not long after entering the venue, the awards show began.

"Kung Fu" won 6 awards.

Yuan Hua became the Best Supporting Actor at both the Golden Statue Award and the Golden Horse Award, and Yuan Qiu made up for the regret of losing the Golden Statue Award and won the Best Supporting Actress Award.

And it won the two most important awards of Best Picture and Best Director, which once again proved Zhou Suichi's extraordinary strength.

Lu Bu and Zhang Jin failed to win the best action director award, which was won by "Seven Swords" Liu Jialiang.

Guo Fucheng won the Best Actor Award for his outstanding performance in "Sanchakou".

This is probably the most surprising thing tonight. It has always been said that the one with the worst acting skills among the four heavenly kings was crowned actor when he was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for the first time.

Indeed, no one thought of it, no wonder he himself cried with joy when he heard the guest announcement.

Shu Qi's Best Actress award was the most suspenseful award tonight, and all previous predictions were optimistic about her.

When receiving the Golden Horse Award, she cried with excitement like a child.

It is not easy for an actress in a tertiary film to come to this day. From then on, she is not only proud of her sexy body, but also her excellent acting skills.

As for the most depressing thing tonight, it is Du Qifeng, none of them. "Dragon City Years" received 11 nominations, but finally only won the best original screenplay award and the best sound effect award.

For the rest, the best newcomer award is Zhou Jielun, and the best adapted screenplay award is "A World Without Thieves"...

Lu Bu and Zhang Jin had plenty in their hands and received awards for Zhou Suichi, Yuan Hua, and Yuan Qiu, but their hearts were empty and they didn't get a single award.

Fortunately, it was expected, and there was not much sense of loss.

In the evening, I brought Zhang Jin and Xu Krypton together.

After returning to the hotel, Jia Jingwen also went to have a look, and she was able to get out of bed and move around.

The next day, Xu Krypton returned to Yanjing with Lu Bu to discuss the casting and launch of "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Way of the Day".

------

------

Liulichang, a small courtyard.

The bursts of tea and chrysanthemum fragrance blend together, making people relax and feel comfortable.

In such an environment, what cannot be negotiated?

Not only Lu Bu and Xu Krypton, but also Yu Feihong, Zeng Lai, and Zhang Guorong.

Xu Krypton spoke first, and said, "The ones that have been confirmed so far are your Ning Caichen, Xiao Zeng's Nie Xiaoqian, Leslie's Yan Chixia, and the remaining fox demon grandma and Heishan Luocha..."

After he finished speaking, Lu Bu winked at Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong immediately said: "Director Xu, do you think it is possible to arrange Zuxian?"

Xu Krypton asked in a daze, "Isn't she Xiying?"

Zhang Guorong replied: "I quit the music scene before."

Lu Bu followed, "That's a good relationship. After 14 years, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian reunited on screen."

Seeing the two of them singing together, Xu Krypton didn't understand, and said immediately, "It's not impossible."

Yu Feihong's eyes lit up, and said: "In this way, the feelings will be full."

Xu Krypton thought for a while, and said, "The script needs to be revised a little bit, but it's not a big problem. Let's make changes while filming."

He already has a revised direction and will even be a high point.

Zeng Lai spoke suddenly, and said half-jokingly: "It would be perfect if we invite Teacher Wuma and Teacher Liu Xun."

They are all very brilliant and memorable existences in the first three films. Since they want to sell their feelings, why not be more thorough?
Lu Bu twitched his lips and boasted, "Good suggestion!"

Yu Feihong smiled and said, "It's really good."

Xu Krypton murmured, "Well... I can invite you to play a cameo."

Chatting, chatting, the sun slowly set.

Most of the matters such as landscaping, clothing, and funds have already been prepared, and there are only a few main actors left. After the confirmation, the start time is set on November 11.

With a budget of 1 million yuan, this time the studio invested 2000 million yuan, which is the most invested in a single project.

Both Lu Bu and Yu Feihong were optimistic, and they voted after discussing it. Anyway, they can afford it.

The remaining 8000 million will be divided among companies or individuals such as Huangying Entertainment, Zhouyi Film and Television, Xu Krypton, etc.

Even if Xu Krypton pounces three times in a row, there are still people who are willing to vote. With Lu Bu starring, it will be even more stable.

Of course, they didn't just throw tens of millions into it just because of these, and they weren't engaging in charity.

There is a team behind the analysis and calculation, such as certain conditions required for an investment, a certain number of moviegoers, a sufficient number of screens and cinemas, audience acceptance of the subject matter, overall publicity, marketing and communication, and a reasonable schedule, etc.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Bu sent Yu Feihong home.

In the car.

Yu Feihong chatted about Zhang Liangying and said, "She broke up with her boyfriend."

In this year's Super Girl Finals, Li Yuchun won the championship with more than 350 million votes, Zhou Bichang won the runner-up with more than 320 million votes, and Zhang Liangying ranked third with more than 130 million votes.

This result is the same as everyone's guess.

Using methods such as telephone voting as the basis for rankings, popularity determines everything.

Lu Bu was quite surprised and said, "Don't they have a good relationship? Zhang Liangying listens to her boyfriend in everything."

Yu Feihong said slowly: "You're right, her boyfriend is very rich. Last month, her boyfriend let her terminate the contract with Yutian Media without spending a penny. In terms of the choice, the two had disagreements, Zhang Liangying wanted to choose our studio, while her boyfriend wanted her to sign with Friendship Brothers.”

Lu Bu smiled lightly, the attraction of the best contract in the entertainment industry is not just for bragging, all artists want to sign.

Yu Feihong continued: "Then there was a quarrel. Actually, it's not a big deal. There was a quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. The trigger for the breakup was that she learned from others that the reason why her boyfriend was so forceful to let her sign the contract Brother Friendship, it was the one who promised him a lot of benefits, and then her mother added to the fire, that is, she questioned that her boyfriend had not yet shown a divorce certificate from his ex-wife. It was only then that she realized that her boyfriend Friends stay with her not because of love, but to make money."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "How do you know such details?"

Yu Feihong pursed his lips and said, "It's all reported by the media, it's definitely not groundless."

Lu Bu sighed: "Then she is quite miserable, being cheated of money and sex by a married man."

Yu Feihong breathed out, and said: "Who says it's not? There's an old saying that 'men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man'." Then, he changed the subject and said, "Then do you still want to sign her?" ?”

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said, "Her singing ability is still there, and she has great potential. If she is still willing to come to our studio, there is no reason not to sign, right?"

Yu Feihong smiled slightly: "There is no reason not to sign."
