Chapter 337 Sinful things are the most fascinating

"Come on, Lao Gu, let me propose a toast to you. You gave me the title of male protagonist. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life!" After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

"That's right, I have to thank Zhong Yu too!" Although Zhang Songwen was Gu Zhongyu's teacher, he didn't ask for help and stood up directly.

"Macau" has made hundreds of millions at the box office, and Zhang Ruoyun, as the second male protagonist, has naturally gained a lot of attention. Currently, there are not many young actors in mainland China who can star in movies with a box office of hundreds of millions, except for Gu Zhongyu. , that is him.

Even Zhang Ruoyun, who has become very popular later, has few film resources. The opportunity given by Gu Zhongyu this time has indeed made countless actors jealous.

Zhang Jin also looked at the two of them with envy. When he acted in "Water Moon Cave", Gu Zhongyu was just a famous actor. Now he has become an entertainment tycoon who can influence the future of others. Renren's This life!

"Dayunzi, Teacher Zhang, you seem so angry when you say these words..."

Gu Zhongyu also drank it all in one gulp, and several others followed him to change glasses, and the meal quickly entered the atmosphere.

There are too many people at the celebration banquet, and everyone has to worry about the impact, but it is not as good as a family banquet like this, which makes it easier for everyone to relax.

Picking up a piece of candied abalone and putting it into his mouth, Gu Zhongyu said while chewing: "Brother Bo, please remember to postpone next year's filming appointment. We may start recording in the first half of the year!"

"I know, when did I miss an appointment?"

Zhang Jin put down his chopsticks when he heard this: "Yu Bo, are you going to film a movie with Mr. Gu next year?"

"It's not filming, it's recording a variety show. I don't know why, but he insisted on me participating, and he said it would give my career a second chance!"

In fact, Yu Bo's career ambition has long been weakened. Anyway, a few courtyard houses are enough for him to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life. This time he agreed to participate purely because of Gu Zhongyu's kind invitation.

"Are you so awesome?" Cai Shaofen was incredulous. In their opinion, variety shows are just for fun and will not be of any help to the artists themselves.

"Of course, you haven't seen or heard of this year's "Where Are We Going, Dad", have you? Not to mention the few children, even Zhang Liang, a model who had never heard of it before, is now famous and everyone knows it."

Gu Zhongyu took a sip of wine to eat and continued. "In the future, there will be more and more ways for artists to become popular, and they are no longer limited to acting. As long as there are people to support you, you can become a big star by publishing press releases, appearing on a few hot searches and variety shows!"

Zhang Songwen frowned: "But this kind of popularity, I'm afraid it won't last too long, right? Variety shows will always end, and the novelty will wear off. By then, actors will still have to rely on their works to speak for themselves!"

"Yeah, so we have to strike while the iron is hot and take on more roles while the popularity is high. Or if you don't have any ambitions, it's not impossible to just become a variety show star. The money will not be less than when you are an actor!"

Although accepting variety shows is not conducive to the long-term development of actors, it is okay to use it in a short period of time. Many celebrities have become famous through this method.

The smarter ones are like Zhu Yawen, who participated in "Immersive" in 2018 and then joined "Run". This confused the audience at first, because he is rarely seen in variety shows.

Or this junior brother is smart, he thinks very clearly that the audience of Running Man programs are usually young people, and in the past, Zhu Yawen's fans were mainly middle-aged uncles and junior wives, so after participating in Running Man, Zhu Yawen can take advantage of This program has made me more famous.

Sure enough, as time went by, Zhu Yawen became more and more famous, and he received more and more drama works. However, he promptly withdrew from variety shows and chose to participate in "Changjin Lake" and "Chinese Doctor" After waiting for the main theme movie, he successfully changed his image and his career went to the next level.

Including his little assistant Bai Lu, in fact, for so many years since her debut, the only regular variety show she has been on is Running Man, and nothing else. The broadcast time of her TV series is basically staggered with the broadcast time of Running Man. The purpose is to fill the gap with variety shows and stabilize his popularity when his works are not released.

Yang Tianbao actually wanted to follow this path, so after he became popular in the first season of Running Man, he started to take on roles crazily, but unfortunately his acting skills and professional level were really poor. The film was so bad that it was unwatchable. Not only did it not help my career, but it was a waste of popularity.

As a result, she went from being an 85-year-old flower with a national degree to becoming a variety show star. She is also the only female star Gu Zhongyu has ever seen whose popularity fell from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench in two years!

You still need to be tough in order to strike iron!

"By the way, Lao Gu, Director Wang told me about the plan to make a sequel to "Macau Storm", or me and Brother Fa, what do you think?" While eating, Zhang Ruoyun thought of this question

"Why don't you think about this? The first one has done so well at the box office, and the sequel won't be too different. As long as Wang Jin continues filming, then you can continue acting!"

Cai Shaofen didn't understand. Is this a problem?

If his husband Zhang Jin could get a role like this, then he would have to act even if he broke three of his legs!

Gu Zhongyu wiped his mouth and asked: "Since you have asked me this, do you already have the answer in your heart?"

"I think...of course...Director Wang's level is high, but it's just my personal feeling..."

"You just think this movie is bad! It's not suitable for you. If you act in it too much, it will become boring, right?"

Gu Zhongyu helped Zhang Ruoyun say what he wanted to say. In fact, it was not necessary at all. Even if Wang Jin was sitting here and said that his movie was a bad movie in front of him, he would only laugh and even complain with you. This guy himself When directing a movie, making money is always the first priority, and I don’t care about being scolded!

No matter what the director is, he has been in the industry for decades. Who doesn’t know what he is filming?

How can someone like Feng Pants, who knows very well that he is making a bad movie, still wants others to pinch their noses and praise him? At the same time, he must make less money, otherwise he will angrily complain every minute and the audience will not be able to eat the fine chaff!

So this is the reason why Gu Zhongyu has a fair opinion of Wang Jin and is dismissive of people like Feng Pants and Brother Kaizi.

"That's pretty much what it means... Of course, Lao Gu, if you think you still need me for the sequel, then I won't hesitate and will definitely take it!"

Zhang Ruoyun still has a certain pursuit of acting, and does not expect to become an old artist, but he does resist making bad movies from the bottom of his heart.

But if it was Gu Zhongyu's request, then he would naturally be obliged to do so.

"It's not necessary! I will tell Fatty Wang later. Originally, the first movie of "Macau" was to help you gain a foothold in the industry. Now that you have the foundation, there is no need to act in such a bad movie!"

"The company will release three movies next year. In fact, one of them is a blockbuster with an investment of about 300 million yuan. Seeing that your boy looks quite humane, the leading role will be yours!"

Gu Zhongyu decided on the male lead of a major production in an understatement, which shocked everyone else present!

An investment of 200 million!

Did the hero make such a hasty decision?

Zhang Jin and others were crying with greed. As expected, no matter what time, the most important thing is to maintain a good relationship between the workers and the big boss. Such important resources are given as casually as adults giving candies to children.

Zhang Ruoyun couldn't help but swallowed: "Are you kidding me? What kind of movie needs to cost 300 million, an action movie or a war movie?"

The investment in "The Legend of Macau" is only over 90 million. The domestic film with the largest investment in recent years is Lao Mouzi's "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which claims to have an investment of 600 million. Although there is definitely a lot of water, it is also It's enough to crush other Chinese-language movies.

"It's a fantasy movie with family-friendly content and is suitable for all ages. The main reason is that it spends a lot of money on special effects. Maybe 300 million is not enough..."

"Monster Hunt" is the first Chinese-language film to have a box office of over 20 billion. Although it has many shortcomings, it is commercially very successful. It is considered a very mature entertainment film with various commercial elements and several cameos in supporting roles. They are all very distinctive and outstanding.

The overall reference to things from Hollywood is very successful. The tricks, singing and dancing, action scenes, fairy tale-like characters and plots are all very careful. The 3D monsters are very detailed, but it is also a pity. These Westernized two-dimensional monsters always feel very... It is difficult to fit into this oriental live-action film, it will be a bit awkward.

So this movie mainly relies on Huba to be cute, so that 80% of the whole movie is cute, and the younger age of children is very obvious, but at the same time, it is very suitable for people of all ages to watch, coupled with the relaxed and humorous style, this Even if I can't get 26 billion at the box office, it won't be much different.

The role of the male protagonist Song Tianyin is not suitable for Gu Zhongyu, so Zhang Ruoyun is more suitable. This was decided by him early on, and it was not a sudden move.

As for the heroine...Bai Baihe should just play with it. Yang Mi, Fan Binbin, and Shishi can all replace her. We'll see when the time comes and choose another one if it's not suitable.

The director of the original version, Xu Chengyi, was of average ability. Gu Zhongyu planned to let Guo Fan take the role. This guy has been idle for so long, so it’s time to give him a job as Gu Daguan. This guy is serious about everything he does, and he happens to have a bit of science fiction and fantasy. Maybe he can do it in the future. Let him direct fantasy masterpieces such as "Fengshen" and "Journey to the West".

With such a masterpiece being invited, who would watch "Macau"? Zhang Ruoyun was so happy that he immediately accepted the offer.

Tang Yixin stood up and toasted to Gu Zhongyu frequently: "President Gu, come here, I salute you for finding such a big job for our old Zhang!"

After saying that, he drained the wine in the glass in one gulp, and his face quickly turned rosy. After that "car shock" on the set of "Blooming Heart", Tang Yixin didn't dare to face Gu Zhongyu. Even if they had dinner together tonight, the two of them had nothing to say. But now that Gu Zhongyu has given her boyfriend such a big piece of cake, no matter what , she must have expressed something.

"Mr. Gu! Please take care of our Lao Zhang too! Oh... there is another Lao Zhang here, we can't favor one over the other!"

Cai Shaofen left her seat and ran to Gu Zhongyu to propose a toast. Originally, the purpose of her coming with her husband today was to expand his network and resources. But now that Zhang Ruoyun has received such a great benefit, she can no longer sit still.

Zhang Songwen smiled and said nothing. This is his image and temperament. There is no use finding him for roles that are not suitable for him. Yu Bo, on the other hand, just wants to do something to kill time. Only Zhang Jin is stuck now. The threshold of my acting career is neither high nor low, and I urgently need a breakthrough.

Facing the attentiveness of Zhang Jin and his wife, Gu Zhongyu gave them a few blows and then passed away.

Although Zhang Jin can fight, his appearance and acting skills are very limited. Apart from making action movies and playing villains, there is almost no room for development. After leaving Hong Kong, he actually has no place to hang out. There is no place for him to perform in the mainland. Wu Jin The path he took was inaccessible to him.

As for Cai Shaofen... if she were twenty years younger, maybe Gu Zhongyu would be willing to give her a hand. Let's forget about being such a tiger aunt now!

……

Everyone was drinking and chatting at Zhang Ruoyun's house until ten o'clock, and they were all drunk. Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin had children at home, so they left early, and Yu Bo and Zhang Songwen left with them.

Gu Zhongyu was about to leave, but Zhang Ruoyun grabbed him and said, "Why are you leaving after you're so drunk? There's a big guest room upstairs. You'll stay with me tonight!"

In fact, Gu Zhongyu didn't drink much. No one at the table dared to drink from him. Most of the time, he just took a sip and it was over. Now he is sober.

He wanted to take out his phone and ask Dudu to pick it up, but Zhang Ruoyun, who was blushing and thick-necked, snatched it away.

"I told you not to leave! My new house... I haven't hired anyone to open it yet. You... you wait... go up... and help me mop the floor..."

Yeah, it seems you are the one who drank too much...

Zhang Ruoyun refused to let him go, holding on to his collar. Gu Zhongyu had no choice but to deal with him here tonight. In fact, he was not used to sleeping in a strange man's house.

The two of them sat on the sofa and chatted, basically Zhang Ruoyun was reminiscing about the past and present, while Gu Zhongyu was the silent listener, and Tang Yixin was washing the dishes in the back.

One moment he talked about his career, another moment he talked about his heartless dog father, and then he expressed his gratitude to Gu Zhongyu with runny noses and tears...

Why is this Dayunzi so drunk and talking so much nonsense?

Just when Gu Zhongyu was a little anxious and wanted to leave, Zhang Ruoyun's eyelids began to droop while he was talking about wine. After a while, he was lying on the sofa and snoring...

Seeing this, Gu Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief. After positioning Zhang Ruoyun to lie down, he was about to leave, but his eyes suddenly met Tang Yixin who had just walked out of the kitchen.

I feel a little bit embarrassed and...

Tang Yixin lowered her head and lost the heroic spirit she had at the wine table. "Please help me lift Dayunzi up. I can't move him by myself."

"Row!"

So the two of them carried the drunk Zhang Ruoyun to the bedroom with one arm and the other.

"Let Dayunzi sleep here, how about we... talk alone?" Looking at Tang Yixin who was close to Chi Chi, Gu Zhongyu suddenly said this without knowing what he was thinking.

Dayunzi is asleep here, and I ask his girlfriend to chat with him. Isn't it a bit strange?

"Ok!"

Tang Yixin responded imperceptibly, and then walked downstairs.

I really agreed!

The two of them returned to the living room downstairs. Tang Yixin was sitting on the sofa, only about one foot away from Gu Zhongyu.

One foot is more than 30 centimeters, and the normal distance of 0 to 0.5 meters is the intimate distance. This is the distance between lovers, between husband and wife, between parents and children, and between loved ones and friends.

But the two of them were so close now, and they didn't notice anything wrong. They just kept silent, and no one spoke.

Gu Zhongyu was the first to break the silence: "Well... did you ask what Dayunzi thought about the last scene we filmed? Why did I agree to let you and I practice in private?"

Tang Yixin looked at him with wide eyes, but she didn't expect that he would actually initiate this topic.

"He...he said that since he was a child, apart from his grandparents, you were the best to him and didn't care what I filmed with you. I even asked him jokingly, if I was abducted, wouldn't you care?"

"Then what did he say?"

"I don't know if he is joking or if he is serious. Anyway...if you and I have something to do with you, then he will pretend not to know..."

I rely on!

Is this too generous, brother?

"In other words, Dayunzi won't be jealous no matter what I do?"

"That's about it. When I heard him say that, I almost beat this bastard to death!" At this point, Tang Yixin felt conflicted and didn't know what to do.

Gu Zhongyu was silent for a moment, mentally struggling for a while, and then slowly said: "Then how about we practice again?"

"What?" Tang Yixin could hardly believe her ears.

We are not filming now!

"just one time!"

Gu Zhongyu looked determined and began to gradually approach Tang Yixin, his hand already on her shoulder.

This is a test. If Tang Yixin really refuses severely, then he will leave immediately.

But... Tang Yixin showed no signs of dodge or anger.

really!

After struggling for a while, Tang Yixin gritted her teeth and said to him solemnly: "Don't let Dayunzi know about our affairs. I won't be with you. If you promise, I will promise!"

"Of course!"

This is what Gu Zhongyu wants to see happen. He only enjoys the moment and is irresponsible. There is no way he and Tang Yixin can have any open relationship.

Although it feels very sinful,...it's often such sinful things that make people more fascinated, isn't it?

"follow me!"
