The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 754 Undercover
"Since you are invited to produce it, just agree to it."

“But…” Cai Yinong looked puzzled.

Lu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt: "Tangren is an expert in filming costume dramas. I hope that your company can give some professional suggestions from a professional perspective in the process of adapting the script and filming "Fights Break Sphere"."

When Lu Yuan emphasized the word "professional", Cai Yinong narrowed his eyes and instantly understood the other party's deep meaning.

However, she did not agree immediately.

This is clearly an attempt to "fool" Tencent Video by leveraging the high-quality reputation that Tangren has built up over the years.

Without any practical benefits, who would be willing to do such a stupid thing that would only dig their own grave?

Lu Yuan continued, "PPS will give priority to investing in Tangren's next five works, and will also provide support in terms of internal platform traffic. In addition, Far Eastern Media's film resources will also be selectively open to Tangren."

It can be said that the investment is lavish. You should know that the movies invested or produced by Yuanfang Media are always in great demand.

Before this, Cai Yinong had tried to fight for Hu Quan and others, but Lu Yuan had always been vague.

Only Guli Nazha, with the help of Liu Shishi's relationship, played a vase-like supporting role in "The Breakup Master" directed and acted by Deng Chao.

But Cai Yinong still has doubts. Let’s not talk about the later movie resources for now and just talk about the former one.

Lu Yuan made the promise so easily, investing in five works at once. Can he really make the decision? Doesn't he need to go back and discuss it with others?
She glanced at Liu Shishi imperceptibly and found that the other party looked as if it was a matter of course.

In an instant, Cai Yinong had a big question mark about Lu Yuan’s shareholding ratio in PPS.

It seems that he may not be as simple as the small shareholder he imagined.

Cai Yinong no longer hesitated and nodded: "Mr. Lu, I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Shishi chased after her: "Sister K, why don't you stay a little longer? Let's go shopping together in the afternoon."

"No, I've booked a flight to Kowloon, so I'm in a hurry."

"Ok."

Liu Shishi sent Cai Yinong to the car. When she came back, she saw Lu Yuan lying on a chair to rest, so she started to rub his temples.

"If we let Tangren go undercover at Tencent Video, will we really not be discovered?"

"What undercover?"

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and pretended to be angry, "When did I say that I would let Tangren go undercover? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"Then explain to me what it means to give some professional advice from a professional perspective."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Fantasy novels are fast-food literature. The plot logic is not strong, and it only pursues the pleasure of revenge. If it is filmed as it is, it will most likely not pass the review. Therefore, the character setting of the protagonist must be greatly changed. The harem plot cannot be allowed, and the child cannot be the protagonist. There is also the special effects production and the selection of the cast..."

Liu Shishi was shocked when she heard this. It might be difficult to make an excellent work.

But for an old company like Tangren, making a bad movie is a piece of cake.

This is the reason why a large amount of hot money from outside poured into the film and television industry in recent years, but was lost after being cheated.

It is true that different trades are like different worlds.

Lu Yuan patted Liu Shishi's hand and said, "Don't worry, Sun Huaizhong dared to choose Tangren to produce "Battle Through the Heavens", what do we have to be afraid of?"

"Even if the suggestions we made during the script adaptation and filming process are not adopted in the end, it will not be a loss for us. Of course, it would be great if they were adopted."

"Why are you so bad?"

"uh-huh."

"Boom~"

"Hey, who told you to kiss me? You have a greasy mouth. Stay away."

"Ahhh, Mr. Lu, do you dislike me? Do you dislike me?"

Pingtian Town, Nanxiong City, the crew of "Dear".

Pingtian Town is a famous "Ginkgo Town" in northern Guangdong, with more than 5000 ancient ginkgo trees over years old.

Most of the ginkgo trees here are scattered in the ancient village, hidden among the quaint old houses, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

"The Sword Stained with Royal Blood" and the TVB version of "Investiture of the Gods" were filmed here.

December 12st, the last day of 31.

On the ridge of the field where cattle are grazing freely.

Lu Yuan was carrying a little boy of seven or eight years old on his shoulders and running forward breathlessly.

Liu Shishi and Huang Xiaoming followed on both sides, and Hao Lei, dressed as a village girl, chased after the three of them.

Further behind were dozens of aggressive villagers carrying hoes and holding shovels.

The child was wearing ill-fitting autumn clothes, had a scar on his forehead, and was crying loudly.

"Mother!"

He struggled and slapped Lu Yuan, who was carrying him on his shoulders and running wildly.

"Put me down, put me down, I want my mother."

"Don't cry, don't cry, Daddy is here." Lu Yuan comforted her breathlessly.

Hao Lei chased after him, her face broken: "Yoshioka, Yoshioka, someone come, steal the child, steal the child!"

The three men were dragging a soy sauce bottle and were soon caught up.

Huang Xiaoming picked up a dead log beside the field and swept it towards the villagers who were rushing in, with the courage of a single man blocking a thousand.

Liu Shishi tried her best to stop Hao Lei from getting close to her. The two of them started struggling and they both fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan carried the child, lowered his head, and continued to rush forward regardless of anything.

"Card!"

"Are the two teachers okay?"

"Medics, come quickly, two teachers are injured."

Lu Yuan ran fifty meters away before he realized what was happening and turned around to find Liu Shishi and Hao Lei being helped up by the staff.

He immediately turned around, put the child down, ran back quickly, stood in front of Liu Shishi, and asked with concern.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Miss Liu had a scratch on her arm and was frowning as she asked the medical staff to disinfect it with alcohol.

When she saw the dog coming over, she thought it was no big deal, but when she saw his worried face, she wanted to pout and cry out in pain, then rush into his arms for a kiss and a hug, but she instantly realized that the occasion was not right, and gritted her teeth and said firmly.

"It's a minor problem. It doesn't hurt at all. Just disinfect it and we can continue filming later."

Lu Yuan held her white and tender arms and blew on them for her.

Hao Lei, who smelled the dog food, became unhappy immediately.

"Teacher Lu, we don't need to show the difference in treatment so obviously. After all, there is still a living person here. I am also injured. Here, look."

Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Hao Lei's arm was also scratched, more seriously than Liu Shishi's.

Liu Shishi stepped forward and protected her boyfriend behind her, like a hen protecting her calves, with sharp teeth and a sharp tongue.

"Sister Hao, I don't mind Teacher Lu giving you a blow job, but your husband at home must be unhappy. He calls me three times a day and doesn't sleep at night. Leilei, Leilei, ugh, it's so corny to hear."

As an actress, Hao Lei is quite talented.

When he first debuted, he quickly became famous with works such as "Don't Cry at 17" and "Young Huang Feihong".

Her natural and unpretentious performance style made her a breath of fresh air and she was quickly loved by the audience.

But her love life wasn't going well, and she had three relationships openly.

He first met Deng Chao on the set of "The Young Emperor". The two became friends because of the play and fell in love with each other.

However, because she wanted to challenge "Summer Palace", Deng Chao could not accept the bold plot and their relationship broke down.

She herself was banned for five years, attacked by public opinion, and isolated from the circle.

Afterwards, he met Li Guangjie, who was still a newcomer at the time, and the two got married quickly without a grand ceremony, rings, or even a public announcement.

This marriage came and went hastily. She used her connections and resources to make Li Guangjie famous, but unfortunately he cheated on her.

The two ended up in divorce, and it was not until last year that she chose to find Liu Ye, an outsider, and gave birth to twins. "No, you are talking nonsense, I don't even know it myself." Hao Lei pretended to tickle Liu Shishi.

"Yes!" Liu Shishi dodged.

"Don't run!"

The two of them were fighting and playing.

Lu Yuan moved his sore shoulders and walked towards the camera with Huang Xiaoming.

The little boy was not heavy, only about fifty pounds, but we had to carry him and run wildly through the mountains at the entrance of the village for three days, which was too much for even a strong body.

"Teacher Lu, you have great endurance!" The photographer, who was from Hong Kong, gave a thumbs up to flatter him.

"You're not bad either." Lu Yuan smiled back.

"Dear" is jointly invested and produced by Yuanfang Media and Hanshi Films.

Hanshi Pictures is an acquired Hong Kong company, and its legal representative is Liu Shishi.

The reason for this is that reality-themed movies like "Dear" have a higher chance of winning awards.

Lu Yuan didn't expect to win the Best Actor award at the Hong Kong Film Awards with this movie.

But he might as well hope that "Dear" will be nominated for an Academy Award and then be absent in a justifiable manner.

It's nothing interesting. I just want to impress the Academy Awards and poach some talents from the Hong Kong film and television industry.

On the side, Huang Xiaoming stared at the picture in the camera and sighed: "Hao Lei's acting as a country girl is really good."

"After all, I have been to the countryside to experience the countryside for more than a month." Lu Yuan sat down on the edge of the field.

Hao Lei plays Li Hongqin in "Dear", and her role is very important. She only showed up at the start of filming, and then returned to Pingtian Town to experience life again.

Li Hongqin is an ordinary rural woman. Because her husband said she was infertile, she treated the pair of children her husband brought back from outside as her own.

She didn't know that her husband was a human trafficker.

Of the pair, the boy, Tian Peng, was abducted, but the daughter was not abducted, but an abandoned baby picked up by the husband on a construction site.

The first part of "Dear" focuses on Tian Wenjun's search for his son, while the second part focuses on Li Hongqin's request to regain custody of her daughter Ji Fang.

After a while, the Lifestyle Producer approached and said, "Teacher Lu, the hotel asked us when we would arrive so they can make preparations."

"what time is it now."

"A quarter past four."

"What did the director say?"

"Director Wen meant to finish this take before calling it a day."

Lu Yuan glanced at the sky and clapped his hands: "Forget it, we'll shoot the rest tomorrow. Notice them, call it a day, and we'll go back to the hotel. This is the last day of 2013, and we won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

“It’s time to call it a day!”

More than a hundred crew members started working at 7pm in the evening and gradually dispersed at 10pm.

But the event has not really ended, the nightlife has just begun, and people are meeting up in groups of three or four.

The big head vomited in the first half, and the small head vomited in the second half. We can't lose sight of one while focusing on the other.

In the hotel box, Liu Shishi, Hao Lei, and Yang Ying, who came specially to spend New Year's Day with Huang Xiaoming.
There are six people in total, playing the game of who is the undercover together.

Each person holds a card in his hand. The same words are written on five cards, while the last card is either blank or has different words written on it than the others.

“Sexy!”

“Everyone has it, male or female.”

"They come in all shapes and sizes, some big, some small, some round, some flat."

"Men like to admire women, and women also like to look at men."

"I usually wear cotton underwear to wrap myself up."

Everyone has their own vocabulary to describe themselves.

When it was Liu Shishi's turn, she looked at the blank card in her hand, confused, and winked at the dog thing.

Lu Yuan just went to the bathroom and did not join in.

But after coming back, he kept listening silently and glanced at her chest secretly.

Liu Shishi thought that the dog was not serious. It was such a late hour and he was still looking around. Couldn’t he just play with him when he got back?

But on second thought, I felt that it made sense, so I confidently described it in that direction.

“Very soft!”

Yang Ying, Hao Lei and others smiled at each other, their eyes full of amusement.

“A lot of peers will fill in.”

“Man-made.”

Liu Shishi became more and more confident, but his description went further and further away, until he was completely exposed in the end.

"Hahaha!"

"Oh my, I am dying of laughter."

Hao Lei laughed so hard that her body shook: "What are you describing? What airport? Ours are all buttocks."

Liu Shishi was dumbfounded and stood there like a wooden chicken.

She recalled the fierce words she had just said and her face turned red. She stared at Lu Yuan with a pig-killing look and punched him in anger.

"It's all your fault."

"Why blame me?" Lu Yuan looked innocent.

"Who told you to look around?"

Lu Yuan was speechless, thinking to himself that this woman changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, it was clearly you who asked me for help first.

He moved to the left. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he might as well hide from him.

Liu Shishi stretched out her hand to pinch him, but her arms were too short. She glared at him angrily before letting him go temporarily.

"Hiccup~"

Huang Xiaoming saw him leaning towards him, so he filled his glass with champagne and raised his glass: "Come on, Junior Brother, let's have one."

"touch~"

"Director Feng was badly scolded this time."

"He probably feels helpless too." Lu Yuan poked the fruit in the fruit bowl with a toothpick and said, "The carefully shot '1942' had mediocre box office, but the obviously perfunctory 'Personal Customization' had rising box office."

On December 12, "Private Tailor" was released in theaters nationwide.

The results lived up to expectations, with a box office of 7150 million on the first day and more than 50% of the screenings, leaving "Drug War" and "No Man's Land" powerless to compete.

In just four days after its release, "Personal Customization" earned 4 million yuan at the box office, allowing the industry to once again see the dominance and combat effectiveness of Feng's comedy in the Lunar New Year box office.

Unfortunately, its reputation suffered a disastrous defeat, with constant negative reviews online.

Some people complained about the large number of advertisements, saying that there were more than ten minutes of advertisements at the beginning of the film and the number of embedded advertisements was crazy.

There are also criticisms that it can hardly be considered a movie, and is just a compilation of jokes from Weibo, with a few unfunny skits added in, put together to amuse the audience.

"Personal Tailor" was criticized to pieces.

Feng Xiaogang was of course not convinced, and he threw up his arms and cursed at the film critics online, and was beaten up.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Huang Xiaoming dazedly started to check his phone: "By the way, The Cliff is going to be aired soon, I saw the promotion for it for a while."

"Well, just these few days."

"then you?"

"We'll finish filming two scenes tomorrow and fly directly to Harbin."
