Actor: Thank you.

"Come on, let's cut the golden pig together and have a prosperous future!"

Following an auspicious word from the private banquet chef, he picked up a white porcelain plate and cut the roast suckling pig on the main table into two halves.

Click, click...

Just by listening to the crisp sound, you can tell how well it is roasted.

Cutting the roast suckling pig on a plate is actually a foreign way of doing things.

And after cutting, you have to smash the plate. The more broken the better.

However, when we came to China, the rules were changed, after all, breaking plates is unlucky.

It becomes a bit neither Chinese nor Western.

There is one per table, which is considered the main dish.

This was not something Zhang Yuan ordered specifically, but was included in the order written by the private chef.

There were ten tables in total, and there was one on each table.

When the guests heard the auspicious words, they cheered one after another.

However, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting at the main table, felt it was a bit ironic.

Cutting the roast suckling pig on a porcelain plate... He looked around.

These people who come here are the main force in sharing the resources of the Chinese film and television industry.

Today is a celebration banquet, so the names of all the dishes are auspicious words.

Things like "wealth and good fortune", "good things come in pairs", "wealth and prosperity", and "getting rich easily".

Eating and drinking are just like that. No one here really comes here to eat.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan looked up and forgot about the two tables in his own company.

I saw a pile of bones and a pile of shrimp shells in front of Jiang Xin and Zhao Liying respectively.

You two... forget it.

Jiang Xin lost more than 20 pounds for the filming of "The Disguiser", so it is reasonable for her to gain some weight.

As classmate Xiao Zhao said, if she has something on her mind, she should speak less to avoid offending others.

It’s all good…

Since today is the celebration banquet for "Secret", the members of the crew are sitting at the main table.

In addition, there are Lao Han, Zheng Xiaolong, and Zhang Guoli.

Han Sanpin also asked Guan Hu to sit beside him.

It can be seen that Director Guan has quite a lot of weight in the imperial circle.

He also called the foreigner Rob to join in.

Foreigners still have face.

Zhang Guoli brought his wife but not his son.

Uncle Guoli glanced at the crowd and found that there was no sign of Feng Xiaogang, and there were basically no people from Huayi either.

Li Bingbing is special as she came with the crew of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Zhang Guoli has a close relationship with Hua Yi and knows about his relationship with Hua Yi.

I was also muttering in my heart that the two Wang brothers were not very kind.

"The big bullies the small, what a fool." He muttered to himself.

This is Sichuan dialect, and "laigebao" means toad.

He saw it, but couldn't say it out loud, after all, he still had to cooperate with Huayi.

But he didn't say anything to persuade Zhang Yuan to be magnanimous, because Zhang Guoli himself actually had a bad temper.

While eating and chatting, He Jiong and Li Xiang, who were the guest hosts, stepped onto a small stage made of a few stools and gave an introduction using a wireless microphone.

"Today we are all gathered together..."

Both of them have hosted Mango TV's Spring Festival Gala, so hosting a dinner party is a piece of cake for them.

It's just saying some nice words and making some fun.

At their invitation, Zhang Yuan, Jay Chou and Jiang Zhiqiang stood up and spoke one after another.

Then there were some singing, dancing and musical instrument performances.

We hired a professional team.

Zhang Yuan found a group of young and beautiful girls to sing and entertain the guests. In addition to his intention to entertain them, he also wanted to avoid trouble.

These middle-aged people become indecent when they drink too much.

When the time comes, let Liu Xiaoli dance and Liu Qianqian sing a song. Will you cooperate?

If it was someone like Han Sanpin who was drunk and spoke up, Zhang Yuan might not be able to persuade him.

Some people like to tease women after drinking, and no one can stop them.

It would be better to find some professionals. They are experts in this job and are used to being bullied by drunkards all the time. They are also good at dealing with it.

"Wow!"

Halfway through the meal, Liu Qianqian suddenly let out a small sound of surprise.

"what happened to you?"

"Did you get a bone stuck in your throat while eating fish?"

She narrowed her eyes and smiled: "The box office is so high, I can get more than 500 million!"

No... Zhang Yuan held his forehead.

It's been almost two hours, and you finally understand?
This is the highest salary she has ever received, and her previous films did not even reach half of this.

"You're still good to me, let me take the share."

"It's your choice."

“That’s the opportunity you gave me.”

Look, you're quite sensible.

It made him very happy.

"It just so happens that I passed the driving test and can buy a car!" Xiao Longnu took out her iPhone and clicked on several pictures.

"Which one do you think I should buy?"

Zhang Yuan glanced away.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin...

That's almost enough to buy a car.

Although Liu Xixi looks very obedient, she doesn't talk much when there are outsiders around.

He looks like a good child.

But in fact, he also has a bold and showy side.

"Xixi, these are sports cars, too ostentatious." Aunt Liu said with a sidelong glance.

“And these cars are dangerous and noisy.”

Liu Xiaoli is an elegant lady, so naturally she doesn't like this kind of thing.

"I think it's good." Zhang Yuan spoke up for Xiao Longnu.

"You should have some fun at your age. You're old enough to drive a sports car."

"You can't wait until you're old to play."

“You couldn’t even get on the bus at that time.”

Sports car is so bad!
The hanging was so high that he wished he could go over a manhole cover so that he could feel what was written on it.

This is called clear road sense.

Liu Qianqian gave her an approving look and thought to herself that he was the best and was speaking up for me.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli said no more.

Because she understands that the more you meddle in young people's affairs, the more rebellious they will become, so it's not best to interfere too much.

At this time, Zhang Yuan also hugged back.

"But you've just learned how to drive, so you should first buy a car that's not that expensive and not that fast to practice on."

"Get used to it for a year or two, and then buy a better one when you are at the right level."

"You just made some money, so don't spend it all at once."

After saying that, he nodded at Liu Xiaoli again.

That’s a nice thing to say… Aunt Liu sighed, saying that although she is not much older, she is much more mature than her own daughter.

His current achievements are also inseparable from his character.

"Okay, let me think about it." Xixi also listened to the advice and took the long-term view.

In order to please the two of them, he went back and forth between tables to toast and drank several bottles.

After the meal, the leftovers were cleared away and a bartender and bar counter were prepared in a very fashionable way.

Last time, they drank for a long time after dinner, so Zhang Yuan decided to be more professional.

There was a constant stream of guests around Zhang Yuan.

Whether greeting people, making polite small talk, discussing life or career, he always smiles and his mouth is never idle.

"Brother, you made it too big this time." Brother Honglei's eyes, which were not big to begin with, were now even smaller than before.

He was also shocked when he arrived today.

Half of the imperial circle had arrived.

There is no idle person among those present.

All of them are well-known figures in the industry.

Especially when I heard that the film sold so much money.

He is knowledgeable and can roughly tell how much he will get by doing a calculation.

I thought it was a big deal when I was filming "Insidious", but I didn't expect this to be just a piece of cake for them!
I think it’s a lot to earn several million for a movie.

But compared to this...it's just a fraction of others.

My little money means nothing!
It's really not even the hair on someone's legs. "Brother Honglei, please cooperate more in the future."

"Of course, of course." After Sun Honglei answered cheerfully, he felt something strange in his heart.

It was just a few years ago that he was the one who supported me.

In the blink of an eye, I have to hold him.

Just as he finished talking to Sun Honglei and had some free time, the kung fu boy Wu Jing came forward to offer him a cocktail.

"Brother, I have something..."

But he is not the only one who is staring at Zhang Yuan!
As soon as he took a step, someone got there first.

"Boss." Huang Bo came up to him with a grin.

Also coming together were Guan Hu and his wife Liang Jing.

These two got married a few years ago, which can be considered as early marriage.

Zhang Yuan looked at the two of them. In terms of height and appearance, they seemed to be a good match.

They are all tall, dark and rugged looking.

It is more suitable than the original one.

The person who was in charge of the operation was the famous Ma Yili.

Been with him for many years.

Liang Jing is Ma Yili's best friend.

Best friend and boyfriend, this story sounds so melodramatic.

The problem still occurred in person.

At that time, Guan Hu and Ma Yili were still together, and they happened to be filming the classic TV series "Black Hole".

Ma Yili introduced her best friend Liang Jing into the crew.

Then after the filming, she broke up with Guan Hu, and her best friend successfully took his place.

Here's the thing.

But Zhang Yuan thought that Miss Ma was not an ordinary person.

He always felt that there was something wrong with this, it was too good and too accurate.

It is still unclear who is who.

Coming back to my senses, I felt something was strange.

Huang Bo usually calls me by my name to show his closeness.

There are generally only two possibilities when someone calls himself the boss.

Either it's a joke or he wants to ask me something.

"what happened?"

"Director Guan, thank you again for visiting my humble home."

"If this is your humble abode, then our family won't be able to look at it." Liang Jing laughed.

"It's like this, Hu Zi has a new script and is looking for investment." Brother Bo said in a mean way.

I was wondering why you came uninvited!
Zhang Yuan understood it now.

"Oh, no problem."

"Let's talk."

Zhang Yuan agreed politely.

Huang Bo had to give face, and he remembered that when he signed the contract with this person, the other party had mentioned the issue of Guan Hu.

Although it is a verbal agreement, it must be binding.

It’s not that Guan Hu was unable to attract investment. At that time, he already had several well-known works, such as "Black Hole" and "Survival of Migrant Workers".

But one thing is that his current well-known works are all TV series.

In fact, he started out by making movies, but like Ning Hao, he lost so much money that he switched to making TV series.

The first shot really made a name for itself.

Now that the conditions are met, he wants to return to the film industry.

Old Han even pulled him to the main table, which shows that he has a lot of connections.

Then why did they find him again?

Coincidentally, after a brief chat, I found out that the script in his hand was called "Bullfighting".

Zhang Yuan heard that this was a good thing!
Just like "HELLO, Mr. Tree" to Baoqiang, "Bullfighting" is the work that allowed Huang Bo to secure the title of a talented actor with good acting skills.

But it’s just like when Ning Hao planned to shoot "Crazy Stone".

Due to the failures in the previous times, Guan Hu was very cautious in restarting the film this time.

He was afraid that if he lost a lot again, even if he had connections, it would be difficult for him to get involved in the film industry again.

So he came up with a "strange idea".

Set shot!

What is a set shot?

For example, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy was filmed in one go, but was released in three parts.

And this set of photos is even more interesting.

He plans to shoot it together with another TV series for which he already has a script.

It can be considered as fleecing the TV drama crew.

He plans to use the entire set of filming equipment, props, costumes, and locations from the TV series, so that the cost of the film can be kept very low.

The TV series is called "Yimeng", which tells the story of the people in the Yimeng Mountain area awakening and joining the battle during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

"Bullfighting" is also set in this era, with these scenes and characters.

You don’t even have to take off your clothes, you can just change your lines and start filming.

This TV series was paid for by CCTV and will be broadcast on CCTV later.

The plan is to rip off CCTV...

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that he had finally met a colleague and should go higher.

But is CCTV so easy to control?

Why should people give him the right to use it for filming?

So after talking about this in private, Huang Bo immediately took up the topic.

"Zhang Yuan has a good relationship with CCTV!"

Plus, I heard that the movies he invested in made a lot of money, so he’s rich now.

This is how what happened today happened.

"Okay, let's do this." Zhang Yuan was interested.

"There are a lot of people here today, and they drink a lot."

"Let's make an appointment some other time and have a good chat."

"Row!"

Seeing that he was straightforward, Guan Hu and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bo, please help make the contact."

"must!"

Wu Jing, who was standing by, pricked up his ears and listened.

what?
Is this person here to ask for money?
I was startled and, seeing that the conversation was almost over, I hurried forward.

But he was still a step too slow, as another group of people "cut in line".

They've been waiting there for a long time.

"Hahaha, it's Zhang Yuan!" Zeng Zhiwei's hoarse voice sounded beside his ear, and he and Jay Chou came forward.

"Brother Zhiwei, how was your drink today?"

"It's almost there." Zeng Zhiwei leaned forward and said softly, "It's not as fun as it could be without a lady."

Hehehe…they both laughed out loud.

You old pervert… Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

I said I specially found some professionals to help me sing and dance.

Just to guard against people like you.

"Congratulations, another play has been made."

"Not only are you capable, you're also incredibly lucky, hahaha..." This smiling tiger from Hong Kong was exceptionally polite.

"I just want to take advantage of your good mood today to discuss a business deal."

"After all, we have worked together before and both made money." He gestured towards himself and Zhang Yuan: "In this world, making money is the most important thing."

Zhang Yuan knew that he was talking about the movie "Big Movie: Billions" starring Huang Bo and Yao Cheng.

I made a small profit of a few million, not much, but at least I made some money.

"There's a new movie this time, Jay, why don't you talk about it? After all, you just worked together before."

Eric Tsang pushed Jay Chou to the front.

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he glanced at Guan Hu and his wife who had just left.

He finally understood.

It turned out that I was the roasted suckling pig on the table just now.

These guys knew they made money with Secret.

Seeing that I had gained weight, he took the plate and chopsticks.

They come here not just to eat me.

Come and share mine! (End of this chapter)
