Actor: Thank you.

This is a story about rebirth.

"Soldier Assault".

One of the best modern military-themed TV series in China, it tells a story about rebirth.

Zhang Yuan arrived at Huayi's office building in the afternoon.

We arrived at the large conference room on the fifth floor, which had long been converted into a temporary banquet venue.

The wrap-up party for "Soldier Assault", which has been filming for several months, will also be held here.

Hua Yi and Zhang Yuan each invested half of the money in this film.

In Huayi's eyes, Zhang Yuan is their younger brother.

So rounding it off, this movie belongs to Huayi.

Therefore, the official wrap-up party was held in Huayi’s office building.

"Mr. Wang." Zhang Yuan took the lead and stepped forward to greet Wang Zhonglei, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Here you come!" Xiao Wang patted his shoulder affectionately.

And pulled him to a corner to talk alone.

The rest of the "Soldier Assault" actors had already arrived.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan and Xiao Wang, who are also actors and younger than themselves, have such a good relationship, they couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"You've been quite popular lately, both inside and outside the industry."

That's natural.

In the industry, "Crazy Stone" made him famous, and even China Film Group began to pay close attention to his movements.

Outside the industry, "Night Banquet" has achieved box office revenue of over 100 million yuan since its release!
This is also Feng Xiaogang's second movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan, the previous one being "A World Without Thieves".

Zhang Yuan participated in both plays.

It’s just that the cost of “The Banquet” is much higher than that of “A World Without Thieves”!

And because it is a costume drama, it is not possible to insert a large number of advertisements to increase revenue like "A World Without Thieves".

"You also have to come to the celebration party of "Night Banquet" later." Xiao Wang said.

But when he said this, his expression was a little "tearful and funny".

As mentioned before, without product placement, the box office was similar to A World Without Thieves, but the cost was several times higher.

In addition, the North American market, the largest overseas box office, was also betrayed by Harvey.

The box office and overseas copyright fees of "The Banquet" seem to be on par.

In fact, taking into account the publicity and financial costs, it actually lost money.

But Huayi is now preparing for an IPO, so it can only celebrate the funeral and announce to the public that the film has made a huge profit.

The investment has been recovered just from overseas copyright and box office revenue, and the domestic box office revenue of over 100 million is pure profit.

Is it pure profit? Don’t you know the net worth of your company?
However, financial reports for listed companies can be "beautified", and the main focus is on the growth in performance.

From this point of view, as long as it appears that there is a huge profit on the surface and the financial report is made to look good, it will be fine.

"Mr. Wang, the filming of "Soldier Assault" has been completed. How is the TV station purchasing the film now?" After chatting for a while, Zhang Yuan became concerned about the sales of the film.

I now have to pay back more than 100 million in loans every month!
He now has only one thing to say to Xiao Wang.

I, Zhang Yuan, want to transfer money!
"Ahem." Xiao Wang coughed twice, then hesitantly said, "Well...several TV stations are interested."

Looking at him like this, you can tell that the movie is not selling well.

There are no famous directors, no famous actors... these are the reasons most TV stations give for rejection.

There are even TV stations that say that viewers don’t like to watch shows without love scenes.

love?

I love your mom's love for selling fried dough twists!

The good thing about this movie is that there is no love story.

It's a pure man's play!
That year, director Kang Honglei was invited by a friend to watch the drama adaptation of "Erna Assault", the original novel of "Soldier Assault".

Before the performance began, the leader of the drama troupe suddenly came on stage and spoke.

"Today is the last performance of our Imperial Capital Military Region Comrades Repertory Theatre."

"After this performance, our drama troupe will disband."

Then the leader left the stage and the performance began.

That solemn, tragic and desolate feeling had already lingered in Kang Honglei's heart before the show even began.

This scene fits perfectly with the background of the story.

China’s military reform!

Therefore, Kang Honglei made up his mind to make this novel into a TV series.

Although the story begins with Xu Sanduo, a country boy, it actually tells the story of the transformation and struggle of all Chinese soldiers.

Xu Sandong was reborn as a soldier king.

Chengcairen is truly reborn as a talent as the name suggests.

The 7th Steel Company was reborn into a brand-new information-based force.

These things are not stories, but are actually happening in China right now.

Perhaps it was fate that Zhang Yi, who played the class monitor in the film, was a member of the drama troupe that Kang Honglei watched and which was disbanded after the performance!
And he was a substitute and was not able to perform in the play until the drama troupe disbanded.

After learning that the show was about to be adapted into a TV series, Zhang Yi felt that this was a knot in his heart and he had to participate in it no matter what.

So he wrote a letter of self-recommendation to the director titled "My Letter of Request to Fight."

Kang Honglei was deeply moved and immediately called him for an audition and arranged a role for him.

The most impressive scene in the film is when the squad leader's only wish after retiring from the army is to see the capital and Tiananmen Square that he had defended.

That day was also the day when Zhang Yi retired from the army where he had worked for ten years.

The actor and the character achieved the highest level of resonance at that moment.

Tears were shed on Chang'an Street, were those tears shed for myself or for the role?

At that moment, Zhang Yi was reborn from a drama actor into a film and television actor.

And in that scene, he gave a performance worthy of an Oscar winner.

When it comes to truth, no one is more truthful than him.

Looking at Tiananmen Square in the capital, I laughed and then started crying.

What’s even more amazing is that Zhang Guoqiang, who acted opposite him, suddenly had an idea and took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket and stuffed one into his mouth.

This move was not in the script.

But just this one detail makes both characters sublime!

The company commander who feeds candy to the soldiers.

A veteran with tears in his eyes, bitterness in his heart and sweetness in his heart.

Isn’t this scene more touching than those little love stories?
What a pity that the TV stations are all blind!
These blind people always want to make decisions for the audience.

“We feel that the audience doesn’t like to watch it.”

Douban score is 9.5...Does this mean that the audience doesn't like it?
Zhang Yuan is not worried about the sales of the film.

It will always be broadcast, and once the broadcast results come out, someone will buy the film.

But it’s difficult to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

The main reason lies in Huayi.

Huayi seemed to be overwhelming and extremely awesome.

In the film industry, they do have some strength.

But when it comes to TV dramas, Huayi is not quite able to handle it.

Those provincial TV stations from all over the country don't take you, Huayi, seriously.

Even if we still give a low price, it is still difficult to get the money back.

Huayi is not listed yet and has no money. If it leaves the capital, it will be just like that...

"Brother, Mr. Wang."

As they were talking, Baoqiang came forward and greeted them.

"Oh, Baoqiang." Xiao Wang patted his shoulder enthusiastically: "I saw it and heard it."

“Your performance in the film is very good.”

"I am very optimistic about you." Xiao Wang spoke to him in a very gentle tone and with a friendly attitude.

"Zhang Yuan, you have gained a good brother."

"I'm very envious." Xiao Wang said jokingly.

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go talk to the director about the broadcast later."

After he left, Wang Baoqiang, who had seemed a little embarrassed just now, regained his former brightness in front of him.

"Long time no see, big brother."

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight."

This is the Nth time that Zhang Yuan responded to someone about his weight loss.

"I've become a lot stronger!" After saying that, Baoqiang rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles.

Bao Qiang is very dedicated to his work. Before filming began, he went to the army for more than a month for field experience, eating, living and training with the soldiers.

The famous scene in the film is the abdominal rotation bar. The plot says that Xu Sanduo did it 333 times.

That was filming.

But for the sake of filming, Baoqiang also practiced to the point where he could do dozens of them in one breath.

So he felt that he was at the peak of his physical fitness.

I am strong!
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was now thin, he began to have some ideas.

He claimed to be from Shaolin, but he had never defeated his eldest brother.

This kid is a thief.

Seeing this, he wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few months. Can you see if I have improved?" His eyes rolled and he took action right after he spoke.

As swift as the wind and as powerful as lightning.

In a flash, his fists were already at Zhang Yuan's face, and then...

"Hey, why am I on the ground?"

Two seconds later, the black mist in front of Bao Qiang's eyes due to the reversal of blood gradually dissipated. When he came to his senses, Zhang Yuan had already put his hand behind his back and pressed him to the carpet in the conference room with his knees.

"You haven't improved much," Zhang Yuan said as he let go of his hand.

Come on, little guy, try this on me!

I can even dodge Hong Jinbao, who is known as the most agile fat man, so why can't I dodge you?

But he also looked at his arms which had become thinner.

The strength dropped by about 30%.

Baoqiang got up from the ground.

He understood that even if Zhang Yuan lost weight, he still couldn't cheat him.

Then he scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Brother is worthy of being the eldest brother, so awesome."

"Don't give me that." Zhang Yuan smoothed out the folds of his suit.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Brother, Mr. Wang asked me to have dinner with him recently." After Baoqiang finished praising him, he turned his head abruptly.

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan paused and became alert: "Eat?"

"What did you talk about?"

"He said he had high hopes for me and asked me if I was interested in developing in Huayi."

Zhang Yuan recalled the look Xiao Wang had given Baoqiang just now.

No wonder he's so polite.

He had the same attitude when he wanted to recruit me.

"That's good, it means you performed very well." Zhang Yuan grinned.

When Baoqiang saw him smile, he felt a little scared and quickly responded.

"I told him I'm fine now."

"And we should never forget our roots."

Wang Baoqiang immediately expressed his loyalty.

Zhang Yuan was not surprised by his answer.

After all, with his intelligence, the fact that he brought up this matter directly to me in person meant that he definitely did not agree to the other party.

In fact, Baoqiang's plan just now was to attack suddenly and stop the moment Zhang Yuan was knocked down.

Then show your loyalty.

He thinks this routine is more perfect.

I didn't expect to be knocked over in an instant, so the turn was a bit stiff.

Baoqiang had already thought about it when Xiao Wang came to him.

He followed Zhang Yuan, who was already close to Hua Yi.

If he changes jobs, he will definitely offend Zhang Yuan, and the resources he can get from Huayi may not be much more.

But you will be branded as a traitor to your sect.

In addition, he felt that if Zhang Yuan got angry, given his personality, he would have to wear iron shorts when sleeping from then on.

Because you never know when bad luck will come.

After much calculation, I feel that it is not cost-effective.

He looks simple, but actually he is very clear about his calculations.

"okay, I get it."

"Don't feel stressed. Just focus on filming and work. I'll take care of the rest." Zhang Yuan replied in a relaxed manner.

But I know in my heart that Huayi is trying to poach my girls!
I have to be more careful in the future.

"Baoqiang, please introduce them to me." Chen Sicheng, who plays Chengcai in the film, came to the two of them.

"I admire you very much and hope to have the opportunity to work with you." He expressed his desire to make friends with you without any hesitation.

It can be said that in Chen Sicheng's heart, Zhang Yuan is now his idol.

But what he admired was not his acting skills, but his career development.

Invest in film and television dramas and make big money!
This is what he envied.

The character Chengcai in the film is used to contrast with the protagonist Xu Sanduo.

Shrewd, slick, clever but without any sense of justice.

Chen Sicheng was chosen by heaven.

I can only say that it is really suitable for the role and it is basically a true portrayal of myself.

This person's family is well-off, and both his parents are high-ranking officials.

As for him.

He was first admitted to the Xie Jin Film and Television Academy, but after studying for one or two years, he felt that the school was not good enough, so he dropped out and applied to the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

After being expelled from the Shanghai Theatre Academy for fighting, he turned around and applied for the Beijing Film Academy.

As a result, Beijing Film Academy discovered his "glorious deeds" that led to his expulsion from Shanghai Theatre Academy and directly refused to accept him.

Finally, his parents made an effort to get him into the Central Academy of Drama...several major domestic universities were no match for him.

It can be seen that this person has the ability, but his mind and thoughts are too "active".

His ability to rise up is far greater than his other abilities.

This made him look a little greasy.

Whether it's the expression, movements, eyes, or words, they're all greasy.

It turns out that greasyness knows no age, it’s a personality trait.

Just like Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Yiwei, they both became greasy at a young age.

These are typical male chauvinism.

Why does Zhang Yuan think that this person is a successful person who is mainly clever?

Can polygamy be discussed openly?
Who the hell do you think you are?

Once they have achieved a little success, they dare to express opinions that are not in line with mainstream values.

There are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

Some things can be said but not done.

But once some people become arrogant, they tend to do the opposite.

But he can also be considered a master of modification and stitching.

The ability is still there.

Moreover, if one uses morality as the standard for making friends in the entertainment industry, one will become a lonely person.

"You're welcome. I'm looking forward to working with you."

Zhang Yuan responded with a smile.

"I've heard of you before, you're a talented person from the Central Academy of Drama."

“Hehehe…” He laughed and shook his bangs.

When Zhang Yuan saw this movement, he felt that the grease was about to smear all over his face.

I want to take a pair of scissors and cut his bangs...

He suppressed his impulse and continued speaking calmly.

"I heard that you can not only act, sing, write lyrics and compose music, but you can also write scripts. You also directed many student assignments and stage plays in school."

"You are very capable."

"Hehehe." The greasy man licked his lips.

Zhang Yuan: …

"I think you can be more than just a good actor."

"It's possible that a good actor may become a singer or a good actor may become a director in the future."

"If you become Director Chen someday, don't look down on my small temple. Remember to take me with you to make big money."

"No, no, you're too polite." Chen Sicheng didn't expect the other party to praise him so much.

I thought he was so popular that he might not bother to pay attention to me.

And Zhang Yuan's words hit a sore spot for him.

After his debut, when he was still in school, Mo Shuo set a goal that he could not just be an actor.

This person is very ambitious!

Originally, he went up to talk to someone just to curry favor and make friends.

Although he had planned to join Huayi, he knew that he couldn't hang himself on a tree.

Investors need to recognize a few more.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan not only did not resist but also took the initiative to "launch an attack", which surprised him very much.

When most people encounter this situation, they would think

"He's a really nice person. He seems worth making friends with."

But when it comes to him, it is.

"Even he thinks highly of me, which means I'm really good!"

Zhang Yuan had already guessed what he was thinking from the expression on his face that was gradually curling up like a lip.

"Smart, but not top-notch smart, and can't hide things." Zhang Yuan had a rough idea in his mind.

"This kind of person should be quite useful, especially if he is pushed to the front to attract attention."

After chatting with Chen Sicheng for a long time, he said hello and walked aside.

He came to the actor present today who interested him the most.

"Hello, Brother Zhang Yi."

Zhang Yi, in his previous life, later joined Huayi.

Because his junior high school classmate Guo Na later went to Huayi to work as publicity director.

Because of this relationship, he hesitantly became a member of Huayi a few years later.

Huayi wants to poach Wang Baoqiang?
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.

You're targeting my people, and I'm targeting your people, too! (End of this chapter)
