Actor: Thank you.

With the support of "Shuanglong", the press conference was already lively before it even started.

"Excuse me, Brother Chen Long, Brother Li Lianjie, are you acting in this movie?"

Uncle Long spoke freely in response to the host's questions.

"I regret not having the opportunity to be a part of this film."

"But as seniors, we still care about and support young people's film works."

"May I ask what does Brother Jie think of Jay Chou's first time as a director?" the reporter asked again.

"I have worked with Jay Chou in the movie Fearless, and I really like his music."

“I hope everyone will like his movies.”

Both big guys' answers are very decent.

"Excuse me, Sissi, you have worked with both of our live actors."

"And there are love scenes in them."

"Then which one do you think is better? If you were to choose a boyfriend in real life, which one would you prefer to date?"

Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting in the first row, looked back at the reporter who asked the question.

"Gossip..." Aunt Liu complained.

"Ah...hahaha." Facing the question, Liu Qianqian first laughed foolishly for a while after picking up the microphone. Then she turned her head back and forth and glanced at Jay Chou next to her and Zhang Yuan sitting at the end.

Jay Chou looked embarrassed.

I thought to myself, if you ask this question, what if she says she likes me more? What if Zhang Yuan comes to beat me up after the press conference?

Although Zhang Yuan on the side was smiling, he looked at the reporter with displeasure in his heart.

You are blind!
Although Xiaolongnu is not a pure beauty lover, she is also a half-beauty lover.

If Jay Chou's face is put together with mine, does he still have a chance?

“I think both of them have their own strengths.”

"In life, it all depends on fate. I don't really care about external conditions. It all depends on whether there is an opportunity."

She is also much more sophisticated than she was a few years ago.

At first, she answered whatever was asked, but now she has become evasive.

Having said that, after answering, he still glanced in Zhang Yuan's direction.

I don’t know whether he was worried that he would be angry with his answer, or he was afraid that Zhang Yuan would reveal something if he answered quickly.

"Excuse me, Zhang Yuan, are you in this movie?"

It’s finally my turn!
He took the microphone and acted according to the plan he had made earlier.

"Yes!" he answered firmly, "but it's just a cameo. This movie is a masterpiece directed by Jay Chou."

“I’m lucky enough to be a part of it, and I hope everyone can find me in the film.”

When Jay heard what he said, he lowered his head and chuckled.

Give me face!
It is said to be his directorial masterpiece.

But in fact, everyone sitting in the interview area knew that the real owners of the film were him and Jiang Zhiqiang.

Whoever pays is the boss.

However, before the press conference started, Zhang Yuan gave special care.

Don't mention investing yourself.

Don't say publicly that he is an investor.

When arranging seats, he even took the initiative to suggest sitting in the corner.

Jay Chou was puzzled, so Zhang Yuan gave him a brief explanation.

He was being clever by making a cameo appearance to attract attention in the name of Long Yang CP.

In order to strengthen the impression, they made a MV for "Blue and White Porcelain", in which the two reunited.

But in the end, I only made a cameo appearance.

It’s okay to stir-fry, but not too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Also, he was thinking about himself.

He hopes that his public image will still be mainly that of an actor.

It’s okay to do anything in private, but having too many and too confusing identities on the surface can easily disgust the audience.

The human heart is so strange.

If you do well in a career, everyone will give you a thumbs up, and when you go to the island country, you may even be given the title of a performance god.

But if you do everything, especially cross-border work, people will not think you are capable. Instead, they will say that you are meddling in everything and the money you earn is not enough.

And even within the circle, he is not yet at the stage where he can act arrogantly.

Seeing that he wanted to keep a low profile, Chen Long and Li Lianjie both looked at him with approval.

OK!

What young people fear most is becoming arrogant, especially after they become famous.

If you lose your temper, it's easy to make big mistakes.

Because both of them have gone through this stage and know it very well.

Among the younger generation in Hong Kong, there are some who are arrogant.

Mr. Xie and Edison Chen are the type who become a little arrogant and easily irritable once they become famous.

On the contrary, A-Zu, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, is the most thoughtful and steady.

But A-Zu’s shortcoming is that, although he is steady, he does not have the drive to become the king.

The two older brothers saw that Zhang Yuan was both stable and motivated, which was very rare.

When the questions were halfway through, Liu Qianqian started playing the pipa and performed "Blue and White Porcelain", which was an eye-catching little show.

She even practiced before going on stage.

After Zhang Yuan sent everyone away, he gently held her hands.

"Even if you sharpen your spear before the battle, it will be bright even if it is not sharp."

"But at this point, it's better to relax."

I could feel her hands trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was still not confident enough about playing the pipa.

"If you don't want to, we'll cancel it, okay?"

She pursed her lips and thought about it, then shook her head slightly.

"I play."

"After all, you invested money in this film, so I have to show my professionalism and try my best to promote it for you."

"Okay!" Zhang Yuan pulled her over and kissed her on the cheek.

"No, it will ruin your makeup." She smiled and pushed it away: "But what if I play it wrong?"

"If you play it wrong, it will have a better publicity effect."

"Hehehe..."

After he said this, Liu Qianqian felt a lot more at ease.

And now, the sound of the pipa is soft and pleasant to the ears, like pearls falling on a jade plate.

The clear sound of the strings shaking, accompanied by the crisp sound of camera shutters, this moment was captured by countless reporters and will become important entertainment news on TV and the Internet tomorrow.

When the song ended, Zhang Yuan could tell that the playing was a bit stiff, without the smooth feeling like the Jiangnan Spring Water version.

But I also knew she tried her best.

When she returned to the backstage, he quietly gave her a thumbs up.

Then came a bunch of questions about the movie and Jay Chou's new album.

Jay Chou's outstanding achievement is his creative speed. During his peak period, he released at least one album a year.

So in the blink of an eye, it was time for him to release a new album.

"The new album is still in preparation, but today I brought a new song, which is also the theme song of this new film."

Jay Chou stood up and walked to the piano and microphone that had been prepared long ago.

While playing, they sang the theme song of the same name.

A song of the quality of "Secret" can be used as the title song in any popular singer's album.

But Jay Chou didn't put it in his new album, but threw it into the soundtrack of the movie. It shows how willful he is and he didn't take it seriously at all.

"You said that if you let go of love gradually, you will go further."

"Why bother changing the time that has already been missed..."

The reporters were fully focused, taking photos and recording videos.

Just for this new song, today’s trip is not in vain.

He just released a blockbuster song "Blue and White Porcelain" two months ago.

To all musicians, it vividly demonstrates what it means to sweep through an entire army.

From radio to the Internet, it has dominated almost all Chinese music platforms.

Now releasing new songs.

If the lineup of the press conference and Liu Xixi's pipa can become popular in the entertainment section.

Then Jay Chou’s new song will definitely be on the headlines of the entertainment section and may even appear in the current affairs section.

How popular was he during his peak period?

His physical albums are one of the few that music stores rush to stock when they are released!
As soon as a new album is released, CD stores sell it by the box from morning to night.

Selling goods is like a sexy dealer dealing cards online, swish, swish, swish, and you can't stop at all.

After the concert, the press conference also came to an end.

Push a cart of grain onto the stage.

This grain is barley, which is a homonym of "big sell".

The golden grains scattered in the sky mean that the film will be a big hit and it is a good omen.

After the red envelopes were distributed, everyone left.

In the backstage lounge, the assistant helped Zhang Yuan pick up the grains of rice from his clothes.

At the same time, the two brothers were chatting with Boss Jiang.

"We've both seen that movie. It's good."

Talking about Apple.

Uncle Long is still as enthusiastic as ever and highly recommends it.

Let Jiang Zhiqiang help develop overseas markets. "Okay!" Boss Jiang readily agreed: "You should have told me earlier."

"We have worked together several times. There's no need to be so polite."

He is right.

Including "Rush Hour" and "Secret", it has happened twice.

The matter was quickly finalized.

The crowd dispersed, waving goodbye.

But as soon as he turned around, Boss Jiang's expression became a little gloomy.

""apple"……"

He had heard the name before.

I also know that Zhang Yuan is a producer.

But I didn't care too much.

But a while ago a friend told him that Fan Bingbing starred in a rather explicit art film, which received good response when it was screened internally.

The scale is quite large, an art film...

These two keywords are not scary, because art films are often more explicit in order to attract attention.

But the scary part is Fan Bingbing!

With her in place, art films are no longer just art films.

Instead, it is an art film with a top female star.

What’s even more frightening is that this film is similar to the “Lust, Caution” that he carefully planned this year.

But because I knew it was Zhang Yuan who tinkered with it, I didn't take it too seriously at first.

After all, the gap in qualifications between the other party and himself is too big.

But now that both big brothers said it was good, he immediately became alert.

With the help of Uncle Long and Lao Li, Zhang Yuan agreed to have someone bring a copy to him.

But no copy will be left to him.

Good news, the film can be easily viewed by itself.

Bad news, this kid Zhang Yuan is also involved in this film!
He knew that Zhang Yuan was different from ordinary actors and felt troubled.

Wherever he is, you never know what trouble will arise.

But he remained calm and decided to play it safe and watch the movie first.

Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the car, saw the subtle changes in the other person's expression through the rearview mirror.

"it is good."

But instead of being worried at all, he nodded secretly.

"What's good?" asked Liu Qianqian, who was in the same car with him.

"You played well just now."

"It's just average. I can't compare with you." Although Xiaolongnu was happy, she still said modestly.

Jiang Zhiqiang's reaction was within his expectations.

Just like the sunshine in Hengdian.

In winter and early spring, people enjoy it.

During the hot summer and autumn seasons, people try to avoid it.

The same is true of his collaboration with Jiang Zhiqiang.

Boss Jiang is neither his biological father nor his biological brother.

The cooperation between them is due to interests.

What if there is a conflict of interest?
Partnerships change rapidly, that's business!

In the evening, I invited most of the friends who attended the press conference to my house for dinner.

Needless to say, there are all kinds of entertainment.

"Your place is fine."

Li Lianjie walked around: "It's about the same size as the one I bought when I got married."

“And it’s not far from my home.”

"Hey, come visit me someday if you have the chance."

The courtyard house he mentioned is in Houhai.

Just over 1,000 square meters.

It was bought when I married Li Zhi.

It is only about 3 kilometers from Houhai to Fuxiang Hutong where his home is.

But compared with Mr. Li, his house can only be considered simply decorated.

Li Lianjie's courtyard house is super luxurious and once became the benchmark for courtyard house decoration in the imperial capital.

"It seems we have similar tastes."

Li Lianjie said this while looking at Chen Long standing beside him.

Here it comes again... Zhang Yuan covered his face.

Uncle Long turned his head and ignored him.

Chen Long used to be very arrogant. He was rich, too rich.

He went into a watch shop and bought eight Rolexes in one go, which even Yang Shouchen found baffling.

You only have two arms, why would you buy something that costs eight dollars?
It was also during this period that Uncle Long had the idea of ​​buying a house in the capital.

When a celebrity wants to buy a house, especially a big celebrity, people will come immediately after smelling the scent.

Under the other party's deception, Uncle Long bought eight courtyard houses in Dongcheng District, not far from Zhang Yuan and Lao Li's yard, at a price of 50 yuan per set!
That was 90.

After I bought it, I saw that the yard was empty, there was not a single hair on it, and it was in tatters.

When he returned to Hong Kong, his brothers laughed at him for being cheated.

The total price of these eight courtyards was probably several billion at the highest price!

I also wish someone would lie to me like this... Zhang Yuan rubbed his face.

But seeing that Uncle Long didn't say anything, it means that he probably doesn't care much about these houses.

He moved forward.

"Uncle Long, I heard that you also bought a lot of yards."

Why are you bringing up things that are not related to the topic?

The yard that cost 50 yuan back then is now worth several million yuan.

But Uncle Long felt that the house was too shabby and not habitable, so he was still not very satisfied.

There are plenty of pre-sale properties available all over the world, so there is no shortage of them.

"I like old houses. If you want to sell one, you can contact me."

"You want it?"

"Very tattered."

"The house was in such a mess originally, it took me a long time to clean it up."

"If you like... I'll think about it."

Chen Long really has no shortage of money.

If you see a good upward trend, it doesn't matter if you leave it there.

So it's definitely useless to try to tempt him with money.

"Uncle Long, I'm mainly interested in the historical accumulation behind these old houses."

“I think it would be nice to keep it in its original state and use it as a place to store collections or entertain friends.”

"You put it well." Uncle Long was happy when he heard about history and culture.

This was also his intention when he bought these dilapidated houses.

Store collections, souvenirs, and entertain guests.

Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry. He just said hello and would talk about it when there was a chance.

After all, buying is earning.

"Do you still want to buy the old house?" Old Li also came over.

He is the kind of person who only needs one house for himself and has no interest in buying too many.

"Yes, that's what I like."

I just like the one that can make money.

"Okay, I have a lot of friends who share the same interests. I'll introduce them to you when I have the chance."

I chatted a lot with the two brothers, especially about filming.

They both said that they would have to rely on you younger generations in the future.

But Zhang Yuan could see that these two guys had no intention of backing down at all.

Well, both of them earn several small goals a year, so who would be willing to stop?

They didn't spend the night and flew back to Hengdian that night. They had to get up early to start work the next day.

As for Zhang Yuan, he had to take a few days off because of the adjustment of his role.

The next day, I arranged the subsequent roadshow and premiere with Jay Chou.

You have to find a group of friends to come to the premiere.

He already had a plan for this matter, and he wanted to make a big news.

After discussing with Jay Chou, he drank tea and waited for others at home.

"Coming."

Not long after, he smiled and greeted Zeng Jia who had come along as scheduled.

I drank some tea first.

Zhang Yuan was neither hurried nor slow, but Zeng Jia felt a little impatient.

"What's the matter that you called me here?" She couldn't help but asked.

"I received an audition notice for a new play."

Zhang Yuan said slowly: "I'll take you to broaden your horizons tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
