Actor: Thank you.

On the flight back to the capital, when the plane entered a stable period and the seat belts could be unfastened, Cheng Hao took the opportunity when the flight attendant walked away to get close to his body and sniff it carefully.

"What are you smelling?" Zhang Yuan was startled.

"Can you smell the scent of a vixen?" Cheng Hao said with narrowed eyes after sniffing it.

"Then can you explain to me what the smell of vixen is?"

"Perfume, lipstick, foundation..."

"Don't you smell like that, too?"

Cheng Hao: ...

The good sister rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Did you learn this from Jiang Xin or something? Why do you speak in the same tone as her?"

It's like chili powder, so choking.

"These are feminine charms. Vixen also has an indecent charm." Cheng Hao added.

"I don't smell any charm, I only smell money." Zhang Yuan moved his neck and planned to take a break.

Cheng Hao knew what he meant.

This is also one of the reasons why she tried to win over Jiang Xin.

Because Fan Bingbing is basically destined to leave Huayi and work on her own.

In those days, the trend of leaving the agency and starting one's own studio was actually started by the two Bings among the Four Dans and the Two Bings.

It’s just that Fan Bingbing was unlucky because her idea was right but the timing was wrong.

She left too early and missed out on the dividends from Huayi's listing.

Li Bingbing just happened to catch up, so after leaving Huayi, she had much more capital to make a fortune than her.

Plus with the presence of Ren Quan, a smart partner, things went more smoothly for her.

But things are different now. Zhang Yuan gave her some advice, so she already has a little bit of Huayi's shares in her hands.

Although it’s not much, it’s still a favor.

Once she becomes independent, she will no longer have so many restrictions and will need new partners.

Speaking of personal friendship, I haven't had any yet.

But among the actors, Zhang Yuan and she are the best.

Cheng Hao knew that Zhang Yuan definitely wanted to maintain long-term cooperation with the other party.

She also admitted that Fan Bingbing would definitely bring a lot of long-term benefits to Zhang Yuan.

She had no reason to stop something that was mutually beneficial.

I'm just afraid that my position will be lost.

In fact, my good sister is thinking too shallowly.

What Zhang Yuan wants to achieve with Fan Bingbing is not only long-term cooperation on daily works, but also in-depth cooperation.

It is best to achieve a certain degree of binding.

Only people can obtain it.

She is a strong person who will dominate the throne of the number one female star in Chinese entertainment for a long time in the future.

When she is there, no one can defeat her.

After she left, all kinds of people came out.

When she was online, there was no such thing as the traffic queen or the most stunning actress.

It's all in vain to stand next to her.

It is far better to be your own ally than to compete with your own enemy.

However, Fan Bingbing is not so easy to take down.

Although she is a woman, she also talks about feelings.

But her mind is still clear and she won't let a little love ruin her big plans.

If you don't offer enough benefits and sincerity, you can only remain as one of the partners at best.

The price you pay to see a piece of priceless jewellery in a museum and to take it home to admire it alone are naturally very different.

This is also the reason why he asked for the position of producer of "Apple" even though he did not act in the film.

"Oh, by the way, I talked to Jiang Xin..."

The good sister told him what she had talked about with Jiang Xin.

"Let her come to the company..."

Zhang Yuan thought about it and it was not impossible.

But it’s still the same problem as Luo Jin, you have to give others work to do.

"Although I have a good relationship with her, she said that she would not come without good works."

"And from what she said, she wouldn't even consider me if I wasn't the protagonist."

"He's usually so naive, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless when he made the offer."

"I didn't expect that she didn't care about our relationship at all." Cheng Hao complained.

"No, she said that, but she has already read the feelings."

"If you don't care about feelings, then you won't even look at the conditions, and you'll just laugh it off."

"At least I think it's a good thing to have conditions."

"We just need to reach an agreement. It's easier than guessing and guessing."

Zhang Yuan prefers people who are good at showing off their abilities.

This kind of person is often efficient and effective.

Negotiate the terms in advance and do the work without ambiguity.

What I fear most is the kind of people who make empty promises beforehand, don't ask for money, give face, and say whatever they want.

When it comes to really doing things, most of them will be lame, and they will even come to the rescue and say that they didn't pay, were disloyal, and go around ruining people's reputations.

"Let's put Jiang Xin aside for now. There's no rush. There really isn't any work suitable for her recently."

"She is your friend and my friend as well. It's like you can't trick someone into coming in and then break your promise."

"Oh." The good sister agreed.

After returning to the imperial capital, he organized a meal for everyone in the company.

Shared with everyone the good news that Zhang Yuan will be starring in a new film by a Hollywood team.

After drinking too much, several of them hugged Zhang Yuan's thighs and begged him to take them to Hollywood.

Wu Jing, on the other hand, was dissatisfied and felt that Hollywood was just like that.

The number of people dining together this time was the same as last time, so it was pretty packed.

There are still two people missing.

Zhu Yawen is still filming in Shanghai.

This time Yao Cheng said he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives and couldn't make it in time, so he didn't show up.

After dinner, he took Baoqiang and Zhang Yi to visit Brother Big Dog.

The crew of "My Brother is Shunliu" is already in preparation and the script is almost finished.

Zhang Yuan went with the two of them to sign the filming contract and had a meal with his brother.

Zhang Yuan’s investment funds will also be transferred in batches. When the project is launched, it will depend on how their first collaboration goes.

When they left late at night, Baoqiang and Zhang Yi were still grumbling.

The two had just finished filming the war movie "Assembly" and then signed a contract for a war-themed TV series.

The two of them were stuck in the military-themed stories of that era and couldn't get out.

Some things cannot be said casually, because once you say them, they will be true.

Before they finished their conversation, Kang Honglei called Zhang Yuan again.

Said she wanted to invite him to dinner.

He also specifically asked me to bring Baoqiang and Zhang Yi along.

Kang Honglei is the director of "Soldier Assault" and is an old acquaintance of his.

After Zhang Yuan thought about it, he roughly understood what the other party wanted from him.

I'll go to the appointment another day.

When we arrived, there were quite a few people there.

Not only was he there, but also Lan Xiaolong, the screenwriter of "Soldier Assault".

"Brother Guoqiang!"

Zhang Yuan walked up and hugged teacher Zhang Guoqiang.

"Oh brother, I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

When I went to Big Dog's place a few days ago, this guy was there.

He is also a generous person and can drink a lot. After drinking a few glasses with Zhang Yuan, they became friends.

Zhang Guoqiang also starred in "My Brother is Shunliu".

And don’t be fooled by his big and strong appearance, he comes from a family with a serious opera industry!
His great-grandfather is Ni Junsheng, the founder of the Ni style of Peking Opera!
His father is a Peking opera performer and his mother is a Ping opera actress.

With the inside scoop on the folk art industry, I became closer to Zhang Yuan after chatting with him.

Especially when it comes to the intrigues and dirty deeds in the folk art industry, this person is definitely familiar with it.

It’s black, really black!

There was the famous Wang Jie incident in Hong Kong, where his throat was damaged by poison, and everyone knew about it.

But there are actually more cases of dirty tricks and poisonous voices in the opera industry!
It’s just that most people don’t understand.

Zhang Guoqiang's mother had encountered this before. Because she was quite popular in the group, she was collectively ostracized by the others.

Because the plates in this industry are small and there are few jobs, there are only a few bites to eat, and everyone is becoming more and more inward-looking, and all kinds of underhanded means are emerging one after another.

Otherwise, actors in ancient times would be considered the lowest class.

This industry was too shady, so his parents made him switch to stage play at an early age and not follow the old path of the opera industry.

This gave him the capital to switch to the film and television industry.

Why did I meet him again today?
"Zhang Yuan, long time no see." Director Kang Honglei was very polite to him.

After the meal started, they toasted. "This time, Xiaolong and I have come up with another good script."

"At least we are both very satisfied."

"I think we already have a basis for cooperation."

"The last time, 'Soldier Assault' was very successful."

"So I thought old friends are the best, so I came to talk to you."

Lan Xiaolong standing by also raised his glass happily.

The reason why they were so polite was that they did not regard Zhang Yuan as an actor, but as a sponsor!
This new script is about the famous war-themed TV drama masterpiece, "My Captain, My Regiment"!
Is this movie good?

No need for Zhang Yuan to tell you.

It scored 9.6 points on a certain rating website, which is the same as the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the category of Chinese war-themed TV series!
It surpasses the two military-themed masterpieces "Drawing Sword" and "Soldier Assault".

It can be said to be a monument of Chinese entertainment military TV dramas and a must-see.

It is said that directors and screenwriters cannot just stay at home and write, they have to go out and collect materials.

After Ning Hao went out for a while, the script of "Crazy Racing" was found.

It also brought up the movie "Lost in Thailand".

Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong also went to Tengchong, Yunnan, and were inspired by the story of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and wrote the script for this TV series.

It seems that Yunnan is a good place that can inspire people's creative inspiration.

After getting the script, the two began to search for suitable actors based on the script.

Don't bother looking for them, just bring the original cast of "Soldier Assault" over here.

The cooperation was so pleasant and the results were great.

The original cast includes Zhang Guoqiang, Wang Baoqiang, and Zhang Yi.

There are also Duan Yihong, Xing Jiadong and others who did not come today.

Zhang Yuan chuckled when he heard these names.

In the war-themed TV dramas of that era, this guy was the only one who was in charge.

But to be honest, they all acted well and are talented.

Zhang Yuan remembers that the movie "The Regiment Commander" also had Teacher Dong Jie's "favorite", which was Wang Dazhi.

He is also considered to be the original cast of "Soldier Assault".

In addition to being an actor, Zhang Yuan is also considered a veteran member of the "Soldier Assault" crew.

After all, he provided half of the investment for that play.

So as soon as the two brothers came up with a plan, they excitedly called him over.

"Our film is better than 'Soldier Assault'!" Kang Honglei said with saliva flying.

“This is a big production.”

"Unlike Soldier Assault, there are basically no big scenes."

“We’re going to create an epic story this time!”

At this point, Director Kang, who had been very excited just now, suddenly started grinning.

"But since we want to create an epic picture and story."

“The cost of filming will naturally be higher.”

"That's what I should do." Zhang Yuan replied nonchalantly.

Seeing his attitude, Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong looked at each other.

There is a play!

This guy is really generous and much easier to talk to than the average investor!

"Our budget this time is more than double that of Soldier Assault."

“The total investment will be around 4000 million.”

"Not much. To make a good film, you should spend a lot of money!" Zhang Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, yes. Otherwise, I would tell others that Zhang Yuan is the most knowledgeable actor." Director Kang was extremely happy.

“Although the investment amount is high, we have ‘Soldier Assault’ as a premise.”

"We two brothers..." He pointed at himself and Lan Xiaolong: "The TV station quite approves of it."

"Although filming has not started yet, we have already inquired and several provincial TV stations are interested."

The combination of Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong is now a golden signboard in the war TV drama industry, so the TV stations are certainly excited.

This is also one of the reasons why they want to gather the original crew of "Soldier Assault", the TV station likes it.

“Although we haven’t signed the contract, there is a great hope that the show will be premiered on satellite TV.”

"And the estimated price given is not low. It is expected that the investment will be recovered after the first broadcast."

"If I hadn't been here, I wouldn't have called you here."

"Then what do you think? How much are you willing to invest this time?" Kang Honglei rubbed his hands.

Director Kang feels that there are prerequisites for cooperation.

There are human feelings.

This investment should be a sure thing.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan made a puzzled expression.

"invest?"

"What investment?"

"Invest in this new film."

"Ah, this movie..." Zhang Yuan scratched his head: "I won't participate."

Kang Honglei: ...

If you don't participate, why were you so passionate and cooperative before?
Zhang Yuan was thinking, since I'm not spending any money anyway, of course I can accept whatever you say.

You just talk big but don't pay taxes.

The scene suddenly turned cold.

Kang Lan and the other two were greatly disappointed and were very surprised by Zhang Yuan's straightforward rejection.

"Zhang Yuan, our previous cooperation was quite successful."

“It was quite successful.”

"Then why did you..."

"Director Kang." Zhang Yuan stood up, raised his wine glass and said respectfully.

"I have great respect for you and Director Lan."

“It’s been a pleasure working with you guys.”

"Not only do I have no objection to you two, I am also very happy to drink and chat with you."

"It's a pity that this film should still be produced and released by Huayi, right?"

"That's right." Director Kang replied.

Kang Honglei and Hua Yi founded a film and television company together and had several film contracts.

This is the end of "My Captain, My Regiment"!
"Let me put it this way. We are not outsiders, so I won't hide it from you."

"I'm willing to invest in your work."

"But I would never dare to invest with Huayi again."

A few days ago, Zhang Yuan told Cheng Hao that if he cooperated in investment with Huayi, he would be his grandson.

This movie is good.

But you can't live without a life to spend it if you have a life to earn it.

Just like financial products.

The annualized rate is 3 points, 5 points, 10 points!

But no matter how much return you give me, the prerequisite is that I can get my principal back.

I went for the interest, but Huayi was looking at my principal...

How can this be good?
Therefore, even if the investment return of "My Captain, My Regiment" can reach 50% or even 100%, he will not spend a penny!

"Uh……"

After listening to Zhang Yuan's talk about the investment recovery of "Soldier Assault", the two who had originally planned to fight for it again were speechless.

I not only sympathize with Zhang Yuan's experience, but also feel the same way.

Because they also encountered Huayi's pressure on them!
After the reputation of the movie "Soldier Assault" gradually grew, it actually made a lot of money.

However, the TV station will first delay the payment collection period for at least half a year or at most a year.

Why Huayi rarely acted in TV dramas later on.

Because their relationship with local TV stations is very average, it is not only difficult to get their films on the air.

If it doesn’t matter, it will be difficult to get the money back!

In addition, after the listing, the two brothers stopped focusing on filming and their minds were already on making money faster.

The money from the TV station was given to Huayi, and they also put their money on it.

Up to now, Kang Honglei’s director fee has not been fully paid.

The Wang brothers still said the same thing.

Just delay it and let him start filming "My Captain, My Regiment" first.

Just like some companies will hold back the year-end bonus for a few months before paying it out.

He just wants to control his subordinates through money so that you have to work hard.

If you don't want to do it, change your job.

Then forget about getting the hard-earned money you earned earlier.

So after hearing what Zhang Yuan said, the two of them could only sigh, toast with him, and drink it all in one gulp.

Kang Honglei took a look and thought, what is the purpose of today's reunion of the original crew?

It's clearly the Huayi Victims Alliance... (End of this chapter)
