Actor: Thank you.

"Hello, Brother Zidan."

Zhang Yuan saw Zhen Zidan walking out of the room angrily.

You can't just turn a blind eye when you pass by.

After all, he is a senior, so the rules should still be followed.

He immediately stepped forward and said hello.

But he didn't expect that the other party would glare at him with eyes that were already filled with anger.

He just responded with a monosyllable, as if breathing out of his nose, and then walked away in a hurry.

"Why do I meet people like this today?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Chen Kun is the same.

The same is true for Zhen Zidan.

Am I the only civilized person in the entire crew?
Zeng Jia was also frightened.

Zhang Yuan practices martial arts.

I heard that people who practice martial arts have bad tempers.

Today, she encountered colleagues with bad attitudes again and again, and Zhang Yuan beside her would get furious and do something out of line.

After all, they are actors, especially popular actors.

He really has someone serving him at home and someone praising him when he goes out, as if the world revolves around him.

Many people become arrogant once they become famous.

No matter who comes, they will all be floating.

Anyone who has not experienced this, especially those from average families, will find that if their salary suddenly skyrocketed and they spend and earn money like water, it is impossible not to be proud.

Come to think of it, Zhang Yuan perfectly fits the premise of "Gone with the Wind".

But Zeng Jia found that Zhang Yuan just shrugged helplessly, without any sign of anger.

I thought to myself that it was a rare good temper.

But my new boss is not arrogant, but why do I feel that the old boss Zhen Zidan is a little arrogant?
He doesn't even greet his juniors properly when he sees them.

Could you just reply or chat for a few minutes?
What an attitude!

At this time, producer Pang Hong happened to catch up.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Ah... I'm sorry, it's just a small conflict. You go on with your work..." After the other party explained a few words vaguely, he quickly stepped forward and chased in the direction Zhen Zidan left.

"Boss, I'll go ask around." Zeng Jia said immediately.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement.

Although he knew roughly what happened.

However, I didn't want to discourage Zeng Jia's enthusiasm, and her reaction when encountering such things was correct, so I let him do it.

In addition to arranging the work of the artist, the agent also has to contact people from all walks of life and find out the environment and organize relationships for the artist in advance.

The fact that she was able to react so quickly and investigate the unusual situation showed that she had some intelligence and professional qualities.

What exactly happened?
To put it simply, Pang Hong is deceiving people.

In order to attract investment, he first dealt with Zhen Zidan.

The solution is very simple, just spend money.

Before the filming started, he paid the other party several million as a "deposit of film remuneration".

You have to know that for this movie, the total budget that Ning Film Studio could come up with was only 2000 million.

This person really put into practice the saying “You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb”.

But problems followed.

First, the script was changed.

The producer gave the reason for changing the script, which was that it would not pass the review.

At first, this book was a bit like the old version of "Painted Skin", with horror-filled content, and it was indeed difficult to pass the review.

And Zhen Zidan's Pang Yong is definitely the leading male role.

When it came to the casting stage, Zhen Zidan took another look at the script.

What is this stuff?
So I found it.

The excuse Pang Hong gave was to make changes in order to pass the review.

Zhen Zidan said that you made changes in order to pass the review, and I understand.

But in order to pass the review, do we need to have two male protagonists and two female protagonists?
Is this also a requirement for passing the review?

No one is a fool. Guoji Dan understood at a glance that the other party was going to play tricks after they had dealt with him.

The original absolute male lead turned into a fight between a dragon and a tiger.

This tactic of first tricking big names into joining the crew, and then changing the script to benefit the connections, making the big names become supporting roles and supporting newcomers, is very common in the entertainment industry.

Many top stars have encountered this situation.

This is also the reason why many celebrities want to transform into directors and producers.

They want to control their own destiny.

Zhen Zidan is known as the "drama king".

Of course, this title of "Drama King" is only limited to mainland China.

He is no longer a "dominant force" if he leaves the mainland.

In his early years, he also worked in Hollywood.

But he is different from the rest.

Whether it is Li Lianjie, Chen Long, or Zhou Runfa, they all went overseas as male stars in action movies.

Li and Cheng went through several ups and downs before becoming international action superstars.

As for Chow Yun-fat, he has been lying low...he has never made a comeback in Hollywood.

However, the most fortunate method is still the leap year method.

Because he has John Woo's backing.

So even if you fail a few times, you always have a chance to start over.

Until the later period when John Woo himself became unpopular, he could only play supporting roles such as "Pirate" and "Master Roshi", or clowns to make money.

Where is Zhen Zidan?

Not as good as Fa Ge.

After all, Chow Yun Fat has played the leading male role in Hollywood, but he just didn't perform well.

Zhen Zidan has been pursuing the career of a martial arts director ever since he started his career in Hollywood.

His mother practiced Tai Chi, and he himself learned free fighting. Later, he was sent to the Imperial Capital Martial Arts School, where he was assigned to the women's team and felt that he was being bullied.

So this person has learned a lot of different things, but is not proficient in any of them.

Moreover, he debuted with Yuan Hepin, so Mr. Ba is half his master.

Because of "The Matrix", Baye became famous overseas and was called "the world's number one martial arts director" for a while.

He also did not forget this "apprentice".

So in Hollywood, he basically joined the crew as an action director, and then played a supporting role to show his face.

A typical example is Blade 2.

The leading actor of this film is Wesley Snipes, this black guy is famous for being "sick".

He changed the script at random, scolded the director, relied on special effects for all the action scenes, refused to shoot because he was too tired, and even hid in the RV to fly leaves.

Because the filming of "Blade 3" was too chaotic, Ryan Reynolds, who later starred in "Deadpool", publicly stated that he never wanted to work with him again.

But more than ten years later, when filming "Deadpool 3", he was invited back to play Blade.

The main thing is that the identities and statuses have been swapped, and future grudges will be automatically resolved.

Since Wesley has almost no roles to play and Ryan has become a first-line actor, it is natural that they can "meet and laugh off all grudges".

But the reason Wesley had no roles to play wasn't because he was being a big shot.

It's because Blade 3 flopped.

It shows that in Hollywood, no matter how bad your movie is, it’s fine, but if you fail at the box office, you’re done for.

That's the market rule there.

Zhen Zidan is called International Dan, just like Zhang Ziyi is called International Zhang.

Originally, this nickname was used to mock the two of them.

I don’t know if I learned something from Wesley when filming “Blade 2”.

Anyway, after this person returned to China after working in Hollywood, he gradually became a big star.

Especially after the huge success of "Hero", it was even more amazing.

He has participated in top domestic and international blockbusters. Although he is not the leading male role, his ability to attract investment is not weak.

Now that the script was changed from a single male lead to two male leads, he was naturally very unhappy.

He started swearing right there in the room.

After going out, he met Zhang Yuan and said hello.

This person actually recognized Zhang Yuan at first sight.

"Isn't this the guy who has been very popular recently and filmed a movie with these two big brothers?"

Mr. Ba also told him that a young man with good looks and fighting skills appeared in the mainland.

International Dan immediately understood that this person must be here to apply for another male lead!
It's okay for others.

He is very popular now and can still fight.

If Zhang Yuan comes, his position and role will be in jeopardy!

Naturally, he won't be in a good mood.

There is naked hatred among colleagues.

Kun Kun is like this, and so is this person. Zhang Yuan threatens their status and interests. The world of fame and fortune is full of blood. How can they smile at each other with kindness?

"That's it for now."

"If I really join the crew and start filming..."

Zhang Yuan felt excited just thinking about it.

Zeng Jia came back after making some inquiries, and the information he got was roughly "there is a problem with the script, which makes Zhen Zidan unhappy."

That’s about the same.

After complimenting them for a few words, Zhang Yuan went to say hello to the director and producer, made an appointment for dinner, and then left.

“How come there is such a big difference in the character of two people who both practice martial arts?” Pang Hong muttered as he watched his departing back.

At the same time, wrong judgments were also made.

"His temper is much better than Zhen Zidan's. He should be easy to talk to as well."

"Then we can trick him into lowering his pay!"

All the way back to the courtyard.

On the way, Zhang Yuan found that Zeng Jia was a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Can she not be nervous?

After all, I am a newcomer and will face people who have worked together for a long time and have a cooperative basis.

And also divert the opponent.

The car stopped at the door and several people got out.

Zhang Yuan looked up.

Yang Siwei was already waiting at the door.

"Heh..." Zhang Yuan chuckled: "Come, I'll introduce you."

"This is our company's manager Yang Siwei."

"This is the new manager Zeng Jia."

"You will be working together in the future, so get to know each other first."

The two women greeted each other enthusiastically.

"Thought, are all the people here?"

"We're here!" the fat woman nodded.

If you give the order, do they dare not come?

"Go and tell them to gather in the restaurant so we can eat and chat."

"Okay." He nodded and agreed and went to do it.

"Here comes with ill intentions..." Zeng Jia heaved a sigh of relief and muttered.

"You are the one coming." Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Follow me."

"It's been sorted out!" As soon as they entered the yard, Baoqiang and Huang Bo waved and greeted Zeng Jia.

The two brothers arrived early and were considered die-hard fans, so they took the initiative to express their welcome.

When they entered the restaurant, everyone stood up when they saw them come in.

Zhang Yuan introduced them again, and a group of men, young and old, smiled and got to know Zeng Jia.

After sitting down, Zeng Jia took a quick look.

Although I knew these people were here, now that I see them with my own eyes, I can finally see the truth behind those four words.

Lots of talent!

Unfortunately, the three weakest among the gang belong to him.

"Change the seats first." Zhang Yuan arranged it personally.

"Wan Qian, Tian Ai, and Li Ying, the three of you sit together with Zeng Li."

Now everyone else was relieved, because these three were assigned to the newcomer.

But these three of them were really worried.

I was already struggling, and now I'm handing it over to a newcomer...

It wasn't until they saw Zhang Yuan sitting next to Zeng Jia that they felt a little more at ease.

Everyone at the table saw clearly that this was a clear sign of support for the newcomer.

So as soon as the cold dishes were served, Ning Hao and his brothers began to toast enthusiastically.

"No, why are you here today too?" Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Jing who came to eat again.

"Aren't we partners?"

"If you invest in me, I have to create atmosphere for you."

"Use you?"

Only then did they start talking about the new work that they had invested money in.

Zeng Jia didn't understand at first, but after asking, she found out that Zhang Yuan had invested in four films.

"Four..."

She thought about it and felt fortunate that she rarely had the opportunity to act in so many plays at the same time.

“Speaking of these four plays.”

“If there is a chance, everyone should participate.”

"I'll arrange it."

These words made the three young women who had just been pulled out feel much better.

If you have a job, you get paid.

"Yuan, the script of "Crazy Racing" has also been finalized." Ning Hao raised his glass and spoke.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Yuan asked with narrowed eyes.

"This version has been finalized." Big Head changed his tone.

They said it was settled, and I had even taken the script to China Film to ask for payment, but they ended up revising it seven times.

Move almost every day.

But fortunately, it was not a major change, just adding and modifying details to make the logic of the script and the story more compact and coherent.

“Do you have time to play a role?”

When Zeng Jia heard this, it seemed like there were more than 4 dramas!

Although the company is not big and has not many people, it has a lot of business!
How wonderful!
More, only then will you have room for development.

"Oh... I have to do some calculations on this matter. After all, I still have two dramas waiting for me." Zhang Yuan did the calculations.

"Have the release dates for the two dramas been set?" Big Head certainly hopes that they will come to increase the selling points.

The key point is that he is both a boss and an investor. Not only does he get it for free by acting in the play, he also has to pay for food and other expenses.

"It hasn't been signed yet. Once it's finalized, I'll let you know the schedule and you can arrange it accordingly."

"Okay, I'll have to wait for you then."

Zeng Jia glanced at everyone at the table.

The two dramas Zhang Yuan mentioned should be the ones she is in contact with.

The fate hasn't even been decided yet, why does he make it seem like he has to be the one?

The key is that the others have become accustomed to it, as if he is the only one who can do it.

She could see the confidence of the new boss.

And the anxiety I had before coming here has almost disappeared.

After seeing everyone's attitude, he realized that Zhang Yuan had extremely strong control over the internal situation.

Even though his power would be taken away, Yang Siwei stood up and toasted repeatedly, at least to maintain superficial harmony.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The table was already in a mess of cups and plates.

Everyone was gathered in groups of three or four, arm in arm, or looking down and talking.

At this time Zeng Jia discovered something else.

It was obvious that just now Zhang Yuan just gave a look and these people all toasted him politely.

But now, I can brag like my friends again.

The situation is very different from that of Xingyunda.

Because Li Shaohong is a very arrogant person.

As a boss, she always maintains the dignity of a superior in front of her subordinates.

To put it simply, it is very elegant.

She's basically a female version of poet Chen.

Thinking back on my past interactions with him, it seems that he has always been quite polite.

She was a little uncomfortable seeing that there was no barrier between the upper and lower levels.

I think this is a good idea, at least it will be harmonious both internally and externally.

But soon, she will find that there are tiny mistakes in her judgment.

"Hey!"

Zhang Yuan was talking to Wu Jing about his new film when he received a call.

The anxious and somewhat strange voice of Fang Li, the producer of "Apple", came from the receiver.

"Zhang Yuan, there's something wrong with the film."

Yo ho!

He suddenly became excited.

Finally, let’s get started! (End of this chapter)
