Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 661 Crazy
“This time, “Troublesome Family” will be a completely new and upgraded work!”

In the conference hall of the Imperial Shangri-La Hotel, a press conference for "Home with Kids", the spiritual sequel to "Home with Kids", is being held.

Like the Peninsula Hotel and other old hotels in the capital that Zhang Yuan often visited before, this place has just been fully renovated in this wave of hotel renovations.

Not long after reopening, this big job came in.

For this press conference, Zhang Yuan had only one goal.

Big, bigger, super big!

We booked the largest conference hall and prepared a buffet.

Just like ancient soldiers going to war, they must be marching with great momentum.

Announce to the world, we are coming!

He mobilized almost all his connections and found more than 200 media outlets of all sizes, with more than 500 reporters and writers participating!
Everyone who took the job was confused.

How many people are usually invited to a press conference for a large-scale historical drama?

This is a sitcom, why is it so big?
Can I get my money back?

This is called flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. Ordinary people can only see the surface of things.

In fact, the "Radio and Television Program Production and Operation License" has made all his efforts pay off.

In addition, the price of the film "The Ming Dynasty 1566" also gave him a lot of returns.

Taking these hidden profits into account, the film's financial pressure is actually not that great.

Zhang Yuan did not show up in person.

After all, he wasn't in the movie.

Let Lin Cong and producer Li Hong take the lead in speaking.

Also sitting there was the chief screenwriter Li Jianhong, as well as teachers Song Xunxuan and Gao Yalin.

Among the three little stars, Zhang Yuan only let Yang Zi go on stage.

Your own employees must show up.

Now she is a subordinate of the company and needs to be trained well.

Another thing is that she was relatively obedient and gave me the speech in advance and explained the content taboos.

The remaining two were afraid that they would say something wrong, so they were not allowed to go up.

"Director Lin, why don't you use the name "Home with Kids" for this production?"

"As I said earlier, this new play is a comprehensive upgrade."

"From the script to the costumes and props, and then to the scenes, we have made significant improvements."

"It's far superior to previous works, so it's more like an upgraded version." Lin Cong replied nervously.

She had intended to keep a low profile.

But Zhang Yuan insisted on being high-profile.

There's nothing we can do. He's the financial sponsor now and he has the final say.

"Xiaoxue." A reporter stood up and asked, "I heard that you will not participate in the filming of "Home with Kids 3"."

"Why did you come to this crew now?"

Yang Zi took two deep breaths, recalling that Zhang Yuan had personally asked her to write down the answer and memorize it when she got home.

"The previous filming conflicted with my study schedule."

"I will be taking the high school entrance exam this year, so I feel pressure to continue my studies."

"Now the crew has adjusted the shooting time for me, so I can participate."

This content is certainly not accurate.

Zhang Yuan doesn't have time to make adjustments for her alone.

I just told her that Shu Chang filmed during the day and taught private lessons at night, and he was still able to get admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.

If you can't do that, you should give up your acting career early and concentrate on your studies.

She felt that Zhang Yuan was very mean to her, but he looked quite handsome when he was mean.

Another reporter stood up.

This one is different from the previous ones. If you look closely at his features, you can see a hint of ill intent.

Every press conference is a gaming arena.

You don't know which one will be sent by your opponent.

"I heard rumors."

"Director Lin and the production team decided to produce a new drama instead of filming a sequel to Home With Kids."

"It was because he asked for a sky-high salary but was rejected."

“That’s why we abandoned our original partners.”

"May I ask if this is true?"

Seeing someone asking a sharp question, all the media present became excited.

Lin Cong's old face darkened and he said seriously.

"The 'Home with Kids' series was broadcast on more than a dozen TV stations nationwide, and the copyright was sold to Southeast Asia, South Korea, and even to island countries."

“We initially participated in the creation out of our love for the work and the script.”

“Now I still have the same original intention.”

"As for the issue of remuneration, we only received remuneration that matched the quality of the work, and there was no problem at all."

This is what I mean.

You sell broadcasting rights and copyrights at high prices, why do we get so little?
Lin Cong also realized that the person asking the question was most likely sent by his former employer.

Now that things have come to this, she can only go her own way and express her dissatisfaction without falling out.

After that, all kinds of strange problems emerged one after another, many of which were full of traps.

After completing most of the work without any major problems, producer Li Hong stood up and spoke.

“In addition to this new comedy, there are two more productions coming out today!”

"Oh?"

"It's quite lively."

"what happened?"

Everyone was interested.

Then, the animation company’s boss Huang Weimin came on stage with a smile on his face.

"I announce that while the filming of this "Trouble Family" is ongoing, an animation of the same name will also be produced."

"In addition, the equally popular comedy "Wulin Wai Zhuan" will also be adapted into an animation and will be broadcast at a later date."

Zhang Yuan’s idea is to kill two birds with one stone, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

It is actually not difficult to adapt a sitcom into an animation. All you have to do is use FLASH to make the animation and add the original dubbing.

Many works did this in those days.

The cost is very low and the production efficiency is very high.

Because the most brain-consuming creative stage is omitted, you only need to do the "physical work" and work day and night.

Not only can it share the high cost of "The Troublesome Family", but it can also generate revenue for the animation company.

At the same time, letting Huang Weimin appear is also to tell everyone clearly.

I did this myself!

After the press conference, Zhang Yuan had a conversation with the main creators in the hotel reception room.

"Director Huang, I'll leave the animation to you."

"You come to contact and communicate."

"No problem." Huang Weimin agreed readily.

Today, he has made millions thanks to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Zhang Yuan kept his promise and used part of his dividends to distribute year-end bonuses to employees throughout the company.

Millions of dollars were spent without any mercy.

So now, whenever Zhang Yuan arranges something for him, he will do it.

"Zhang Yuan, the new shooting scene has been almost set up."

"It will probably take another week or two to finish the script and start filming." Lin Cong said excitedly, "Will you come to the opening party then?"

"It depends." He did not agree readily.

After finishing his instructions, he returned to the courtyard.

There are still a few people coming today.

Ning Hao, Wu Jing and others had just returned to the imperial capital after a long trip to Yunnan and Guizhou!

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a Wrangler that was originally bright red but was now covered in yellow mud and its original color was almost unrecognizable.

This car made them excited...

It seems like it was quite fun to play.

"Have you found the inspiration?" He walked straight towards the big head after entering the door.

Ning Hao, Wu Jing and screenwriter Yue Xiaojun hugged him one by one.

"Found it, found it!" After Big Head sat down, several people lit up a cigarette and said excitedly.

“The model is still the same as Crazy Stone.”

"Oh, it's the model of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, right?" Zhang Yuan said with a squint.

"You really are..." Ning Hao pushed him with a smile.

Multi-line narrative, several groups of people are entangled together because of a trivial matter, and all kinds of hilarious black humor stories happen.

He's channeling Guy Ritchie, there's no disputing that.

But while there are many people around the world imitating Guy Ritchie, few can grasp his essence.

After becoming famous with "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", before filming "Snatch", Brad Pitt, who had just finished filming "Fight Club", took the initiative to find director Guy and was willing to star in his movie for a low price.

Pitt lowered his own price and still came to the door, which shows how popular he was at the time.

As a result, after Snatch was released, it directly broke the UK box office record.

And this director is also Madonna’s husband.

So the songs in the film are all his wife's songs.

But the couple settled the bill clearly and still paid Madonna $100 million for the song copyright.

Zhang Yuan was not averse to Ning Hao's "borrowing".

As long as I can make money, that's enough.

Besides, he is much better than those producers in later generations who mass-produced remakes of Korean and Japanese movies.

Bao Beier and Jia Lin are the leaders. "After we arrived in Yunnan this time, I have been thinking hard."

"I finally found the inspiration!" Ning Hao said, clapping his hands.

"Found it on a woman's thigh in a nightclub?" Wu Jing said with a smile.

"You TM...you've played a lot too!" Big Head was getting angry.

"I'm not married, I'm free." Wu Jing spread his hands and said, "Look, he's not married either, so he can have fun."

"Why are you talking about me?" Zhang Yuan waved his hands in disdain: "Let's talk about business."

"I don't care about you picking flowers along the way."

It's easy to imagine how many women these slutty old men, driving a brand new jeep that was quite eye-catching in those days and with more money in their pockets than ordinary people, could pick up along the way.

"Business, business." Ning Hao swallowed his saliva: "We met our colleagues from Taiwan in Yunnan this time."

The one he was talking about was the Taiwanese actor, the fat guy Rong Xiang.

"The local gangs are so rude!"...This is the one.

Baodao variety shows were quite popular in those days. Ning Hao recognized her, so he approached her to strike up a conversation and they became friends.

Rong Xiang was also traveling to Yunnan, it was just a coincidence.

As a result, we started to talk about stories.

Because this fat guy often played the role of a gangster's younger brother before, Ning Hao used this as a starting point to put together a new story with the Formosa gangsters, mainland bandits and cyclists as the triangle structure.

"Crazy Racing, that's what I'm going to call it."

"It's very good. You can tell it's a similar product to "Crazy Stone" as soon as you listen to it. The target customers are very clear." Zhang Yuan agreed.

"Apart from this play, I have another inspiration!" Ning Hao said with a wink.

"I think our self-driving tour is actually a good story template!"

"Okay." Zhang Yuan knew what he was doing.

“That’s a road movie.”

"Yes, yes, yes, you are knowledgeable about it, road movies!" Ning Hao replied immediately.

Let’s just say he is a creative person.

When you have no inspiration, it's like constipation. When you have inspiration, it's like diabetes insipidus.

Either don’t come, or come in pairs.

And he has a special peculiarity.

Several films of the same type will be shot in succession.

"Stone" and "Racing" are similar types of black humor.

"No Man's Land" and "Lost in Thailand" are both road movies.

"Okay, give me the script quickly so I can go find Lao Han from the China Film Academy."

"Once we get investment and project approval, we can prepare to start filming."

"Okay!" Ning Hao became motivated.

Drop drop drop.

As they were chatting about this, Ning Hao's cell phone suddenly rang.

After picking up the phone, the man answered a few times and then looked at Zhang Yuan beside him strangely.

"what?"

"Is this happening?"

"Oh...I don't know."

After a long time, he put down his phone, frowned, moved closer to Zhang Yuan, and then spoke cautiously.

"boss Zhang."

"Huh?" Zhang Yuan looked at him with some surprise. Why are you suddenly calling me so formally?

Weren't you being casual just now?

"I heard you got a promotion recently."

"What's upgraded?"

"From Song Qingshu, I became Zhang Sanfeng." Ning Hao said with a crooked mouth.
"What Zhang Sanfeng? I haven't acted in any TV series recently."

"It's Zhang San who is crazy, the madness of a madman!"

After the press conference of "Troublesome Family", the entire entertainment industry, especially the imperial circle, was in an uproar!
People who don't know him are asking around for information.

The call to Ning Hao was of this type.

They all said he was crazy.

Because he had played in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", he was given the nickname Zhang Sanfeng.

This is a satire on him.

For those who don’t know me, I can just laugh and watch the show, but it’s a different story for those who I know.

After hearing the news, Wang Jinhua sat in front of the computer for a long time.

"I don't think I'm innocent."

"He dared to do such a thing. It doesn't seem strange that he challenged me before."

"Why would I bother to compete with a psychopath?"

In the eyes of this old man in the imperial circle, it is crazy to snatch food from that person's subordinates.

She dared to confront Hua Yi and Cheng Tian, ​​but she didn't dare to confront her old leader.

To go against this person is to rebel.

On Rong Xinda's side, Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan were also dumbfounded.

"How could he do such a thing?"

“I wonder who is behind this drama?”

“I wonder who is filming this scene?”

"I think this kid has lost his dignity!"

Even Li Shaohong, who recently won the bid for "Dream of Red Mansions" and made a huge investment, found this scary.

Li Xiaowan on the side felt a little relieved.

She had thought before that there were three famous female agents in the capital.

Chang Jihong has done it, Wang Jinhua has done it, and it’s my turn now.

But now that Zhang Yuan has provoked that person, he probably won’t have a chance to do anything to him.

The news quickly spread in the company.

After hearing what Zeng Jia said, Yang Mi was so scared that he trembled all over.

Her first reaction was, should I delete Zhang Yuan’s phone number?

It turns out that people don’t cherish things that come easily.

The things she wanted to delete were obtained by Huang Shengyi after he pursued them.

But then I recalled that I had been having the dream a lot since the last time I had "friction" in the hotel and at his home.

Not only did she dream about him, she also couldn't help but think of him.

It's not just thinking about it. After thinking about it, I often want to win by myself even though I don't play cards.

"Xiao Mi, don't contact Zhang Yuan recently."

"Be careful not to get implicated." Zeng Jia warned.

"Oh..." Yang Mi nodded in agreement.

But after enduring most of the day, he couldn't help but call Zhang Yuan.

"How have you been lately?"

"Not bad." Zhang Yuanke received many calls, all of which were asking about him.

But I was quite surprised to receive this call.

After all, Yang Mi is a sensitive person, and will quickly avoid anything she feels is a problem.

It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed. This guy is not entirely obsessed with his career.

Zhang Yuan felt that this person's attitude towards him was a little different from before.

We didn't talk about anything important, just chatted about daily life for a while.

Then hung up the phone.

Even after the chat, Yang Mi still sat there for a long time, holding the phone anxiously.

On Huayi's side, the two Wang brothers also knew about this.

They were both unusually quiet, like the water of a thousand-year-old lake.

"Didn't he consider the consequences when he did this?" Xiao Wang asked after a long time.

Even these two brothers would not easily provoke a person of this level.

Especially since the company is still planning to go public, there can be no mistakes.

"I don't understand. I can't understand." The king shook his head.

"This kid is quite smart, why would he do this?"

"In order to make money?"

"Isn't that more about money than life?"

"I think he is still too young and doesn't understand the rules of the underworld." Xiao Wang frowned and said, "Can he handle this hot potato?"

"There's no way this film can be shot successfully!"

"But if he falls, it will not be good for us." The king was very conflicted.

Ding ding ding... At this moment, Xiao Wang's cell phone rang.

When he picked up the phone and looked at it, he smiled.

"Brother, it's not like it's not good for us."

"Someone who is well-informed comes to see me."

He picked up the phone and showed the caller ID to Dawang, who also smiled.

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. His people are even more anxious than he is."

"He probably wanted to jump off the ship before anything happened to him."

"I was hesitant when I contacted this person before."

"It's a different situation now."

"Okay!" The king pushed up his glasses and said, "Then let's talk to this guy again!"
