Actor: Thank you.

In the QQ group of Beijing Film Academy's 02 acting class.

Ever since Luo Jin took the lead, most of the students in the class began to send letters to Zhu Yawen, either jokingly or seriously.

"Yeah, are you still short of people?"

"I don't ask to act with Fan Bingbing... I like Li Bingbing more."

"If Tony Leung Ka Fai doesn't have it, then Leung Chiu Wai will do."

"Get lost!" Zhu Yawen replied unhappily.

But after a good install, it was quite satisfying.

In fact, Luo Jin asked the question sincerely.

In Class 02, he and Zhu Yawen were two healthy and good-looking boys with moderate physiques and heights.

So both while in school and after leaving school, I was considered to be doing pretty well.

But people still want to be better even after they are better.

When I have no food to eat, I feel satisfied just thinking about having a full meal.

After eating, you want to eat well.

After eating well, I want to eat well every day and eat at big restaurants with famous chefs.

There is never an end.

And the smoother things go, the more I want to move up.

Luo Jin is considered pretty good. He went to a martial arts school to practice martial arts when he was young and also learned the tea-picking opera.

This means that this person is proficient in both martial arts and opera.

In addition, my father is a doctor and my family is well off.

Right after he graduated, his family used some connections to find him a stable job.

Coal Mine Art Troupe!
This is an iron rice bowl.

But his parents like this. How could a young man like this kind of stable job?

The coal mine art troupe was pretty good, and he was often assigned performances and roles in TV dramas.

But think about it, for such a unit, the TV dramas it is associated with are most likely to be red-themed.

For a young man in his early twenties, who wouldn’t want to wear modern or ancient costume and act in a drama?

I see Zhu Yawen is so successful now.

Naturally, I started to think about it.

In particular, he recalled that Zhang Yuan had actually had a brief chat with him at that time and had tried to win him over, with a very good attitude.

It’s just that I didn’t think highly of her at that time.

But things are different now. Who wouldn’t be envious of being able to act with Fan Bingbing!

Then I started chatting with Zhu Yawen.

Zhu Yawen took a look and said, "No, buddy, you really want to come!"
I haven't even gained my footing yet.

This drama with Fan Bingbing is a great gift package for beginners.

Zhu Yawen knew in his heart that it was a good opportunity, but if he didn't perform well, there might not be a second chance.

And even if they are classmates, they are brothers.

Zhang Yuan's company is still a small one with limited resources.

If I drag you here, you will only cause trouble for me.

So he made excuses to shirk his responsibilities.

Regardless, the group chat was lively.

Jiang Yiyan, who loves to play tricks all the time, has completely become a clown.

Especially since she was very proud of hooking up with Wu Kebo and going to Chengtian.

I wanted to show off with this climb.

But when everyone looked at it, Chengtian didn't seem to be that good...

It is estimated that in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, only Zhang Yuan can give such an illusion to these students who have just graduated.

Miss Jiang was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Wang Jia was also completely refreshed and happily went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Not long after, after soaking for a long time, stretching her body and relieving the fatigue of a 10-hour flight, Liu Qianqian changed into clean clothes and left the bathroom.

I heard the sound of running water coming from my classmate's bedroom, and could also faintly hear someone humming a song.

"Today is a good day..."

"Hehehe." Liu Qianqian knew that Wang Jia should be in a good mood.

While her classmate was taking a shower, she quietly went out, took small steps in the corridor, quickly came to Zhang Yuan's room, and knocked on the door.

"Are you here?" The assistant opened the door.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, Xixi is here!"

They are familiar with each other and are not outsiders.

"Ah?" Zhang Yuan wiped his hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom.

"I'll change my clothes and come right back."

The assistant led Xiao Longnu to the sofa in the living room.

"Just sit and wait for him."

"I'm going out for a few hours." Zhao Xunxun was about to put on his coat and go out.

"Why do you want to go out?" Xiao Longnu was puzzled.

And why are you so skilled... I always feel that, as if, should,... there is something wrong with this reaction.

Zhang Yuan heard the conversation and rushed out to interrupt before Liu Qianqian could think.

Normally, when a woman comes to his place, his assistant has to go out and walk around.

"Well, Dandan means that I'll go out and buy you some drinks."

"She's used to it in her country, and she always forgets that this place closes early, and there's everything in the house."

"I'm glad to see you."

The assistant glanced at him and went back to his room.

"Oh, so that's it." Xiao Longnu didn't think much about it.

"looking for me?"

"Can't you sleep alone?" Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands. It was fine if it was delivered to his door.

"Don't mess around, I'll be back in a minute."

"My mother asked me to video chat with her every day using my laptop and would definitely ask Jia Jia."

"If you do something bad, she will definitely find out."

"Okay, okay, your mom should stop dancing and switch to criminal investigation." Zhang Yuan said helplessly.

"Don't say bad things about my mother behind her back." Liu Qianqian frowned.

"I see. By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"What time do we meet?"

"Jia Jia and I will go out to play during the day tomorrow, and I will have dinner with my dad in the evening."

"Oh..." Zhang Yuan turned around and called to his assistant's room, "Dandan, take out my most expensive suit and iron it."

"Prepare two more bottles of Moutai and three bottles of Huazi for me."

"I didn't ask you to go with me!" Xiao Longnu smiled and patted his shoulder.

I thought he was really shameless.

But shameless is kind of cute...

Taking him with me means he won't have to meet his parents.

Thinking of this, she smoothed her hair with her hands, and her cheeks turned red.

"Also, let's forget about it today. Let's cancel our room tomorrow and switch to a standard room."

"We don't need to live in such a big room, and you shouldn't waste your money."

"Just be happy living here."

"No, if you don't want to return it, I will transfer the money to you," she insisted.

"Why are you so reserved..."

"I am an adult and I earn my own money and spend it myself."

"If we were living in one room, that would be fine."

"It's a deal!" Zhang Yuan immediately held her hand.

Liu Qianqian: …

"I mean, if!"

"But now I am here to disturb you. If it wasn't Jia Jia who accompanied me, but my mother, she would definitely not let you spend money."

"I understand." Zhang Yuan stopped arguing with her.

"Actually, I came to Paris to talk to you about something important." She said seriously.

"Isn't it because you missed me?" Zhang Yuan leaned against the sofa and joked carelessly.

"Yeah, I missed you a little." After a long time, he nodded.

I'm a little uncomfortable with this.

After all, Xiaolongnu's emotional expression is usually relatively restrained and she rarely speaks directly.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I want you to practice with me after you return home."

"Practice?"

"The piano scenes have been filmed, so I won't practice the piano anymore." Liu Qianqian narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Practice sword and boxing."

"Why are you practicing this?"

"Actually, a new crew is looking for me." She said with some pride: "I told you."

"Many people have also approached me to film." "You are not the only one who is good."

"Okay, it's a good thing to have a notice." Seeing her expression, Zhang Yuan stopped joking: "Is it a big crew?"

“It’s huge.”

"Compared to the previous one... the one you asked me to reject." She still didn't want to mention the words "Lust, Caution".

"It's bigger than that!"

Zhang Yuan sat up straight.

"Lust, Caution" was produced by the top domestic team and with top investment.

Bigger than this...

He suddenly shuddered all over.

It’s bigger than any of the top domestic film crews.

Then there are only international crews.

Still need to practice fighting...

"Tell me more about this crew." Zhang Yuan's expression gradually became serious.

"Okay."

"You've made such great progress now that you've come abroad and are filming in Hollywood."

"I have to keep up, right?"

"After all, my dream is to become an international superstar."

"And this crew just gave me this opportunity."

“It’s the Hollywood team.”

“But the content of the filming was said to be based on Journey to the West.”

"At first I thought they wanted me to play the White Bone Demon, haha." She laughed as she spoke, and was obviously very happy to have this opportunity.

But Zhang Yuan's expression became more solemn.

"Although it's a supporting role... well, it doesn't seem to be a supporting role, after all, she is the heroine."

“But this is a man’s play.”

"Yes, yes, this movie has a strong cast."

"The director said he has approached Brother Chen Long and Brother Li Lianjie to act together, and the deal has already been made."

"This is the first time these two Kung Fu superstars have officially collaborated!"

Huh... Zhang Yuan's face was as gloomy as water and he let out a long breath.

Sure enough, I guessed right.

"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Liu Qianqian noticed that he looked unusual.

"No, I'm tired from filming. What's the name of this movie?"

"It is now tentatively called the Double J Project."

It's him, no doubt about it.

"Double J Plan" is named after the initials of the English names of Chen Long and Li Lianjie.

Jackie and Jet.

In order to make this film and maximize profits, the two of them founded a company called J&J.

Participate in the film under the name of the company and get more profit sharing.

The more well-known name of this "Double J Project" is "The Forbidden Kingdom"!
This movie is indeed substantial enough to be considered a joint venture film.

On one end are two relatively large independent production companies in Hollywood, Casey Silver Productions and Relativity.

Among them, Relativity is known as the ninth largest in Hollywood, which is the largest one outside the eight major film and television companies.

But the problem lies with China.

Because the leading party in China is Huayi!

This movie is very grand. After all, the gimmick of Chen Long and Li Lianjie starring together is enough to attract attention.

Then why doesn’t Huayi seek cooperation with the Big Eight?

Because, after all, at this stage, the main purpose of Huayi making such a big-budget drama is to go public.

The accounts have to be done nicely.

It’s unclear whether the Big Eight will appreciate your cooperation or not.

With two kung fu superstars present, it should still be worth watching.

But who is the one in charge?

There can't be two people in charge, right?

Huayi's goal is to ensure its dominant position in terms of revenue so that it can make money steadily in foreign countries.

After all, "The Banquet" was badly ruined by Harvey, and the two Wang brothers don't want to be constrained by these film producers again.

These two brothers are very ambitious and have big plans.

But the problem is, Huayi’s food is not that delicious!
Zhang Yuan has the most say on this.

Currently, Huayi’s income comes from movies for about 50%, TV dramas for more than 10%, and the rest is all from actor agency!

So in order to go public, he not only has to make blockbuster movies, but also has to win over all the popular artists on the market!
Throw out a sweet date first to get you hooked.

Zhou Xun, Deng Chao, and Huang Xiaoming were all lured in by giving them important roles in blockbuster films.

Is there anyone who leaves after eating?
There are also.

For example, the international chapter.

After performing in The Banquet, she did not join Huayi.

Zhang Ziyi’s artist agents are her brother and sister-in-law.

As long as it is this kind of home-based management model, he will never let the artist sign with the company.

Give the money tree away?

How can it be!

In fact, Huayi thinks highly of Zhang Ziyi and even gave her a second chance.

That movie "Mei Lanfang" was not invested by Hua Yi.

But Chen Kuo-fu was involved. He was the director of Hua-Yi’s film department at the time.

But after Zhang Ziyi finished her performance, there was still no response.

and then?
For a long time afterwards, Zhang Ziyi lost the opportunity to perform in the Chinese entertainment circle and turned to the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

The person she turned to was Emperor Entertainment Group, that is, Jiang Zhiqiang.

So before eating at Hua Yi’s, I have to ask myself this question.

"So, what's the price?"

"The Forbidden Kingdom"... Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Qianqian who was sitting opposite him with some sadness.

It can be said to be a turning point in her acting career.

The kind that takes a sharp turn for the worse.

Just like Zhang Ziyi's brother, Boss Chen would never give up his goddaughter, his cash cow, and give her agency contract to Hua Yi.

Moreover, their original plan was to become an international actress, so signing with an American agency was always part of the plan.

But what kind of company is Huayi and who are the two Wang brothers?
Even if you offend the imperial circle which is at its peak, there can still be good results.

After she suppressed this anger, it took her 12 years to fully recover.

It has been exactly 12 years from "The Forbidden Kingdom" to "Mulan".

Life is a whole cycle!

And if it weren't for the decline of the imperial circle and the rise of online platforms, this time might have been even longer.

After all, everyone has their own job. If you come, our positions will be gone, so of course we have to suppress you to death.

Like Zhang Ziyi, she is no longer qualified to cooperate with the big companies in the entertainment industry since she offended Hua Yi.

She could only go to the Hong Kong circle, and the one who provided her with help was also Emperor Entertainment Group, that is, Jiang Zhiqiang.

The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.

But the prerequisite is that the boat cannot be overturned by the waves.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he was still frowning, Liu Qianqian felt strange.

"Nothing, congratulations!"

He quickly adjusted his expression.

"Thank you!" She smiled with a little pride, not knowing what she was about to face.

"Have you signed the contract yet?"

"Not yet. My godfather is negotiating for me."

"And the script is still being revised, so it won't be confirmed so soon."

"Well, there's no rush." ​​Zhang Yuan picked up the water cup and took a sip, thinking that there was still time.

"Will you practice with me or not?" she asked again.

"Of course I will."

"Hehe..." She smiled with satisfaction.

After chatting for a while, he sent her back to her room.

In the following days, Zhang Yuan's mood was generally normal.

Apart from completing the remaining photo shoots in Paris, I used my free time to have meals and chat with two friends.

In just over a week, all the European scenes were completed.

All that was left was to wait for the green screen on the tower to be erected in Hollywood before filming the final fight scene.

The two protagonists then went on to film other scenes.

He took advantage of his free time to return to his country.

And planned to treat Liu's mother and daughter to a meal... (End of this chapter)
