Actor: Thank you.

Zhao Weiren was stunned when he received a call from the "Painted Skin" crew.

What do you mean if I insist on going through thick and thin with Chen Kun, then the crew can't do anything about it?

Zhao Yanzi has been in the industry for many years and has always been famous for appearing kind on the surface but being ruthless behind the scenes.

She originally thought that with her weight, it would be easy for her to help Chen Kun.

After all, when the crew found her, they visited her three times and invited her repeatedly.

I pushed it several times before the other party came up and we chatted for a few minutes.

According to common sense, if you capture a goddess, you shouldn't pamper her in any way.

How come you just say you don’t want it?

This answer obviously surprised her.

Producer Pang Hong also wanted to avoid offending both sides and removed himself from the issue.

"You said Chen Kun won't act, so you won't act either."

"Zhang Yuan said that if you don't act, he can find someone else."

"You are all famous actors, I can't persuade you..."

Pang Hong was also in a dilemma.

But now the Hong Kong circle supports Zhang Yuan, and there is a large amount of Hong Kong circle funds behind the film.

In addition, the fact that Zhang Yuan did not have to pay remuneration in the early stages greatly alleviated the financial pressure on the crew.

So when it comes to filming, he prefers Zhang Yuan.

After all, the total box office revenue of Chen Kun and Zhao Wei is only a fraction of Zhang Yuan's.

However, the crew had just calmed down and the actors had been found, when this incident happened, which made Pang Hong very uncomfortable.

Anyway, Zhang Yuan cannot be lost.

It's not just a matter of pay, there are other constraints as well.

Boss Zhang is worried sick about his subordinates.

Not only did he ask for a few small supporting roles.

A role with fighting scenes was found for the young man Wu Jing, that is, the lizard spirit, the follower of the fox spirit in the film.

I originally wanted him to take a share of the box office revenue as well as the subsequent copyright and CD revenue.

But old guy Pang Hong refused to do so.

This was also within his expectations.

Because if the film doesn't sell well, the other party will have to rely on overseas copyrights and CDs to make a profit, so they are unwilling to give in.

He also took a step back and only took the box office share from Asia, including the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.

These places are also where the film's most important ticket-generating locations are.

But there was another clause, which was that some of the post-production special effects work had to be sent to the company under his name.

Anyway, now that I'm here, I have to kill two birds with one stone from this crew, and I have to eat it from beginning to end.

Now he can understand the hardships that Brother Hua has gone through.

It is easy to make money by yourself, but it is much more difficult to take care of your subordinates and maintain a company.

Had to compromise on many things.

Zhao Yanzi is also a smart person. When she heard what the producer said, she understood two things.

First, this person is trying to smooth things over.

Second, the other party clearly favors Zhang Yuan rather than himself.

This is not the end!

He wanted to help his brother, but ended up getting himself into trouble.

Although she had never met Zhang Yuan before.

But there are still intersections across space.

The drama "Moment in Peking" that she was so ambitious about back then was sandwiched between "Drawing Sword" and "Wulin Waijia", one at the beginning of the year and the other at the end of the year.

It snatched away CCTV's annual ratings champion title.

I don’t know him, but I know he’s a ruthless person.

It’s not easy.

drop by drop...

At this time, a phone call came in.

Zhao Yanzi took a look and picked up the phone with some hesitation.

Because the caller was Chen Kun.

"Wei, what's going on?"

"Have you told the crew?"

Kun Kun asked with a little excitement.

As soon as he told his friends about this, Zhao Yanzi patted her chest and took the responsibility.

He felt that with the help of his buddies, he should be safe.

"Well... I said it, but the other party hasn't replied to me yet." Zhao Yanzi replied half-truthfully.

I can't say I didn't handle it and I have to leave with you...

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from you and the crew."

"Hey……"

After chatting for a while, Zhao Yanzi hung up the phone feeling guilty.

He thought about it and decided to ask for help himself!
Does this person have a background?

Of course there are.

How could you speak so "domineeringly" if there was no one around?

It was she who pried Wang Yu, the only one who could be called the eldest of the "Four Young Masters of Beijing", away from Chen Zihan.

Young Master Wang’s family has a “Zhenghongqi” background and is very powerful.

But unfortunately, he was born out of wedlock.

It is equivalent to the difference between Meng Wanzhou and Yao Anna.

It’s fine to spend money on fun, but it’s only so strong when it comes to resources.

Zhao Yanzi would naturally not be satisfied with this, as she has such great ambitions.

With the help of Wang Yu's connections, he got to know the Southern circle.

Among them was her later husband, Huang Youlong, who she called her ex-husband when he was being chased for debt.

This Mr. Huang started out by wearing white gloves, and he wears white gloves while driving.

The person he drove is now Pengcheng No. 2.

In his early years, he was sent to Hengyang Farm as an educated youth, which is Mr. Huang’s hometown.

In 93, because he offended someone in the local area, he was "exiled" to Pengcheng as the director of the Cadre Training Department, working in this lukewarm and powerless government office.

It was at this time that Mr. Huang became the driver of this man as a fellow villager.

When the fellow sees the fellow, tears well up.

The closest people to officials and businessmen are their secretaries and drivers.

Coupled with the common accent, common habits and life experiences, this one is naturally more "favored".

And he arrived at the right time, just when the leader was at a low point.

Later, this man's second rise brought him and his family to fame.

Although he started out as a driver, he actually started working in real estate, contracting all kinds of major engineering projects in Pengcheng, from the demolition of old neighborhoods to the construction of bridges.

From this point on, he changed from the white gloves for driving to another kind of white gloves.

The person behind him didn't have a good life for many years.

It was time to go in in 09.

In addition to the common economic problems, this person also violated a "heavenly law".

Selling official positions and titles!

And while in prison, he attempted suicide by swallowing chopsticks.

Various signs indicate that he is nothing more than the white glove of some heavenly soldiers and generals.

This is also the reason why Mr. Huang can still stir up the situation after his elder brother went in.

His job didn't change, only the contact person changed.

Zhao Yanzi called the man right away.

But she was also cautious. She did not cry or throw a tantrum as is common among women. Instead, she explained the matter carefully and meticulously.

Can't be careless.

In her early years, when she first became famous, she was very arrogant.

If it were at that time, Zhao Yanzi would have gone straight to Zhang Yuan to confront him.

But after the "military flag dress" incident, he became much more honest.

When she was at the peak of her popularity, she almost retired from the entertainment industry because of this cover photo for Vogue magazine.

Don't say you are innocent. You were completely tricked.

Of course, after the "justice from heaven" came to the young people who had set up a trap to go to the stock market in later generations, this woman, just like after the military flag dress incident, acted innocent, saying that she knew nothing and was deceived by her husband.

Anyway, either I was cheated by my best friend or my husband, and I am just a white lotus.

Can’t you see that big Rising Sun flag?
Your name was signed on the contract, and you said you didn’t know?

In short, it’s not a pleasant feeling to be framed and ruined by someone else.

And it's a real stinking thing.

She was once splashed with feces at a concert.

So it is much more rigorous.

Soon after, the message came back.

"Oh……"

Only then did Zhao Yanzi realize that the previous events in the Hong Kong circle were related to Zhang Yuan.

She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her mother is strict now.

"I've said hello, but this guy just collaborated with someone from the Hong Kong circle."

"Don't make things awkward, understand?"

Mr. Huang took care.

"understood."

Zhao Yanzi put down the phone and thought to herself, it seems like she will have to go find Zhang Yuan in person.

Talk to him in person.

On the other side, Rong Xinda.

Kun Kun sat in the lounge, drinking tea.

He has always trusted Zhao Wei.

Because this woman is smarter than both of them.

Apart from anything else, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming are both considered to have average intelligence among male actors.

Later, Zhao Yanzi furthered her studies and was admitted to the graduate school of directing at the Beijing Film Academy.

beep, beep...

Just when he was sure that Zhao Wei could help him with the crew matters, he suddenly heard commotion outside the room, with footsteps everywhere and an extremely impatient sound.

When I opened the door and went out, I saw that there was chaos in Rong Xinda's office. There was also a young lady with tears in her eyes running out of Li Shaohong's office.

It was obvious that he was scolded and cried.

Kunkun is a friend of women, so he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"what's wrong?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Brother Kun..." The young lady looked aggrieved.

Li Shaohong has a bad temper and many people in the company have been scolded by him.

Yang Mi has been scolded by her many times. Fortunately, this little girl has a big heart and a big chest.

"There's a problem with a major project at the company, and the boss is losing his temper."

After a long period of comfort, the young lady finally uttered a complete sentence.

"Big project?"

After thinking for a while, Kun Kun widened his eyes.

"The company's biggest project right now is... A Dream of Red Mansions!"

Inside Li Shaohong's office.

"Okay, stop losing your temper. We still have to find a solution."

Li Xiaowan looked at the mess on the ground, with objects thrown or smashed everywhere, and had no choice but to persuade them.

"How dare you, Shuzi!"

Just now, Li Shaohong received a reply from his subordinates.

It’s the young lady who was scolded and cried just now.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is currently being prepared and is about to start filming, but not a single provincial TV station is willing to book a schedule!
Logically speaking, such a large project would attract national attention.

Not to mention that all major TV stations are scrambling to broadcast it, it should at least be a popular work in the TV drama market, right?
In addition to his own qualifications, he has directed major dramas such as "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life" and "The Oranges Are Red" as his resume.

Shouldn't people rush to pay money and grab the movie as soon as my name, Li Shaohong, is thrown out?

Ordinary crews look for ways, while large companies and large crews have TV stations decide the dramas and schedules before the filming starts, and they may even invest and pay money.

"Dream of the Red Chamber", strictly speaking, should be the 10th version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

Because I can’t bring the 87 version of the classic masterpiece “The Real Dream of Red Mansions”.

In the 10th version of "Dream of Red Mansions", Li Shaohong did not have any joint venture with the TV station at all.

Because she doesn't think it's necessary!
Han Sanpin helped her to make connections, and the railway lady gave her the money.

She has become so awesome.

Just relying on this Dream of the Red Chamber to grow up proudly and leave your name in the history!

how to say?

There is no long face, but there are big eyes.

And it is also another way of "leaving a name in history".

Filming a masterpiece, especially one of the level of "Four Great Classics", requires very high abilities and knowledge from the director, screenwriter and other crew members.

It also requires an extremely rigorous work attitude.

The reason why the old Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the old Dream of the Red Chamber are so good is because they are supported by Wang Fulin, China's top TV drama director.

The director found many senior experts and Redologists to give classes to the actors, and the training and preparation time were measured in years.

The actresses of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling have all become truly talented ladies who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting during training. This is why they can look like the characters because they don't have to act.

What about Li Shaohong's side?

They pretended to invite a bunch of Redologists and veteran experts.

But when the class started, there were hardly any people attending.

They are all related people, who has the time to listen to the old man talk about knowledge?

It would be great if I could spend this time having a few drinks with my sponsor.

The 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was treated as a career, while the 10th version was treated as a business. From the source, they are two different things.

Since it is a business, there must be buying and selling.

And now the seller is broken!
You have to find out.

After some inquiries, I found out that it was CCTV that took the lead in not wanting it.

Then there are Mango TV and Shanghai TV, two provincial TV stations whose leaders and directors are alumni.

CCTV has said that other provincial TV stations also have to consider the impact and so they all give up.

Besides, your film is very expensive and we can't afford it anyway.

The provincial TV station’s stars are all gone.

This is the dilemma the play is facing now.

Zhang Yuan: You don’t think that the little notebook in my heart with “I don’t hold grudges” written on the cover is a white book with no words inside, right?

The character in "Painted Skin" is just one of them.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is Rong Xinda's real weakness and Achilles' heel.

Now, go broadcast it on the local station.

Once it's broadcast, there's no sound.

The audiences for this kind of top drama are mostly concentrated on provincial TV stations.

A film of the level of "Dream of Red Mansions" requires a certain level of knowledge and vision from the audience.

Among the four great classics, the remaining three have storytellings by old gentlemen, but "Dream of Red Mansions" is rarely told by anyone.

Because this book is thick but dense, with subtle clues, and the surface story does not have strong conflicts, it requires a high level of appreciation.

People who like entertainment find "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" exciting, but this play is so fussy and I have no interest in it at all.

Therefore, not being allowed to broadcast on satellite TV is equivalent to cutting off half of one's survival path.

Li Xiaowan looked at his angry partner and rubbed his temples continuously.

What did I say? I told you not to be anxious at that time!

Zhang Yuan is a ruthless guy. If he doesn't attack, it's fine. But once he attacks, he will hit the weak spot.

Even if you don't die, I will take half your life first, so that you have to use crutches when you go out in the future, just like Wu Laoer next door, who trembles all over when he sees me.

Of course, he was the one who instigated this.

He called Editor-in-Chief Liu and explained the situation.

After reporting it, we got the result very quickly.

Because the higher-ups were also very angry when they heard about this.

My men are charging, what do you mean by tripping their horses?
There are two armies fighting in front, and you jump out to disturb the rear and shake people's hearts.

Small people can ruin big things.

Its heart is awkward!

Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must be taught a lesson so that you will remember it.

Li Shaohong: How dare you, you boy?

Zhang Yuan: Dare.

That's what I did.

What's the matter.

How are you doing?

I'm considered civilized if I didn't use a dump truck to hit you!

Besides, I stopped "Dream of Red Mansions" from being broadcast on the provincial TV station for the sake of the eyes of thousands of viewers!

What the hell are those things of yours?

It was shot like a horror movie.

I am selfless and want to purify the Chinese TV drama market!

"Calm down first, calm down."

After all, Li Xiaowan is a cultured person and quite rational.

"In the final analysis, this matter still lies with that kid."

"This time, that time."

"Now he has become a loyal follower of the emperor and is in power."

"You can't look at him the same way anymore."

"Besides, I heard that this kid is usually quite friendly."

“I am particularly willing to cooperate with others.”

"It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I think we should go and pay him a visit."

"No!" Li Shaohong was very angry and refused with curses.

"Okay, okay, if you don't go, I'll go." Li Xiaowan turned around and left the office, leaving her alone for a while.

"Kun, come here."

Greeted Chen Kun.

"You already know about this?"

As a big agent, he has a strong ability to read people's expressions.

One look at Kun Kun's expression revealed that the other party had found out.

"Hey, Xiaowan sister, what do you want from me?"

"You and Zhang Yuan had a good relationship before, right?"

Kun Kun looked embarrassed.

The truth, but it has to be added before.

After the conflict of interest arose, the relationship between the two took a sharp turn for the worse.

In fact, Zhang Yuan didn’t take it seriously, after all, he was the winner.

He didn't even look at Kun Kun.

At most, when you find something blocking the way, you can use your feet to push it away. It's that simple.

"Well, you and I will go to his place together, and we can talk face to face, so that we can resolve the current situation."

"I... won't go." Chen Kun said awkwardly.

That's why he asked Zhao Wei to help him.

We are old friends, and we are a united front in the crew of Painted Skin.

How could I make peace with Zhang Yuan in private?
"You have to go even if you don't want to."

"By the way, Xiaoran and Zhang Yuan..." Li Xiaowan made a gesture with his thumbs.

"Yes." Kun Kun replied.

Dabai thought about him all day and lost his soul.

"Then you can ask her to come along."

"It's easier to talk with a middleman."

"I do not want to go……"

"It doesn't matter whether you want it or not. You have to consider the company." Li Xiaowan rarely took a tough attitude.

A few days later, at the gate of Zhang's house.

Chen Kun, feeling conflicted, had no choice but to get off the car.

"How am I going to explain this to Wei?"

I asked someone for help, but ended up selling them out.

He felt guilty.

He straightened his clothes and stood outside the gate.

squeak……

At this moment, another business car stopped beside him.

The side sliding door opened and Zhao Yanzi stepped out of the car.

"How am I going to explain this to Kun?"

Someone asked me for help, but I turned around and sold him out.

She felt a little guilty, but not much.

then.

Chen Kun: …

Zhao Wei: …

The two of them stood in front of Zhang Yuan's house, staring at each other... (End of this chapter)
