Actor: Thank you.

In the next few days, Zhang Yuan kept hanging around a few old men.

Even Xu Jinglei, who frequently showed his goodwill to him, ignored him.

After a period of observation and investigation, Ms. Xu learned about his affairs with the Hong Kong circle and his company.

He also confirmed that he will just make a movie that will take the "award-winning route".

To put it simply, it's a movie that didn't sell for much money, but it earned tens of millions at the box office.

I have to have a good relationship with this!

This woman is very ambitious and wants to take advantage of any resources she sees.

The so-called interaction may not be that kind of interaction.

Besides, she doesn't like Zhang Yuan.

She likes those who are ugly but have personality.

Wang Shuo, Zhang Yadong, Huang Jue, Huang Lixing... Which one of these is handsome?

This old lady once publicly stated that she has been with men since she was 19 years old...

Saying this seems very generous and makes one appear very powerful.

But real beauties would never talk like this and boast about how many relationships they have.

Don't say that Gao Yuanyuan has been a flower since she was 19, 14, or 5. She has had many men, but she has never boasted about having many boyfriends.

The more you lack something, the more you like to say it.

Zhang Yuan had no interest in her and no time to greet her.

This makes the sisters a bit depressed.

Why are you still so stubborn?

Most men, as long as they talk about something literary and artistic and then praise the other person, they will be very excited.

It's within your grasp.

Even if we don't sleep together on the spot, at least we can become good friends.

But why doesn’t it work for him?

I heard that he is very good at calligraphy, which I am also good at, so why don’t you talk to me about this?

She didn't know that Zhang Yuan usually only talked about calligraphy with women with fair skin.

Because I have fair skin, writing on my body looks good.

And Zhang Yuan is simpler than the average man.

When chatting with women, follow the "top-down" principle.

Look at the face first.

If you can’t get past the face, look at the breasts.

If you can’t get past the breasts, look at the buttocks.

If you can't pass all three items, then it depends on whether your personalities can be considered as friends.

Xu Jinglei's results in all three subjects were average.

And why do you have to talk to me about literature and art?

I think she is being pretentious.

Xu Jinglei was also dumbfounded.

You would rather play with three old guys than with me?
Is there something wrong with his sexual orientation?
This person would rather doubt Zhang Yuan's taste than doubt himself.

He is the type of person who is extremely confident and never wastes time on internal conflicts.

"Let's go eat and have a drink together?" That day, Teacher Shi Zhaoqi, who played He Kui, called him after the performance, thinking of having a drink together to relieve his fatigue.

These days of shooting are really tiring.

It’s not as tiring as “Conquer”.

"Conquest" is tiring, and this movie is tiring for the heart.

"No, I have something to do today." Zhang Yuan apologized with his hands clasped together.

"Why, are you going to learn from those old men again?" Teacher Shi took out a pack of Liquan cigarettes from his pocket and gave him one.

"I think you are better at fighting than Li Lianjie."

"He's even more handsome than Liu Dehua."

"You are still working so hard on your acting skills. You don't plan to leave any food for these two big brothers, right?" Teacher Shi joked.

"Hey... keep a low profile, keep a low profile." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

Shi Zhaoqi: ...

Do you mean you admit it?

"Fuck, you're awesome."

"I'm not saying what you say."

"And today we're not looking for a few old men, but someone is coming to visit the studio."

At the entrance of the filming location, a minibus was parked steadily beside the dirt road.

Zhang Yuan walked forward slowly and saw a pair of white legs stepping down the stairs.

"You're wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

Seeing Fan Bingbing, wearing a black leather jacket and a mini leather skirt, appear in front of him, he hurried forward to help her.

It's November now and the weather in Huairou is quite cool.

She also showed off her big legs.

"I've come to see you, so I have to dress up." Fat Fan rolled his eyes at him.

I deliberately wore less to seduce you, and you still say this.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Li, Li Yu, Zhu Yawen and others got off the car one by one.

The main creators of "Apple" crew gathered together.

The box office has sold so much, we have to celebrate!

But without Zhang Yuan, the great hero, is there any point in celebrating?

But he was busy and couldn't run away.

How to do?
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to "deliver to your door".

"Come on, I'll introduce you to the crew."

"Why don't I treat you all and let's have a meal together?"

Good things need to be lively, and the more lively the better.

We booked several tables at a nearby restaurant and called in all the senior members of the crew, including those old gentlemen.

"Everyone raise your glasses and congratulate our film and television industry for getting better and better, and everyone can sell big!"

At Zhang Yuan's call, everyone drank to their heart's content.

Zhu Yawen, who was standing by, narrowed his eyes and watched, his heart beating fast.

Good guy!
It’s Li Lianjie’s and Liu Dehua’s.

And Xu Jinglei.

My boss is too high class.

If you cooperate with these people, you will definitely take off!
The movie did well at the box office this time, and although he didn't get a penny more, he still got the same salary.

The extra money was just a red envelope that Fang Li gave him to celebrate, and it wasn't much money.

But money doesn't matter.

He is the male lead!
With a successful movie as endorsement, the road ahead will be much easier.

Looking back now, my decision to come to Zhang Yuan’s company was absolutely the right one!

Fortunately, I didn’t go to Sister Hua’s place.

This is what is called "It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

After all, being a pimp makes more money.

No one expected that a big agent would be disliked one day.

The crew of "The Warlords" is not opposed to this kind of social interaction. They are all in the same industry, so it would be good for them to get to know each other.

It was just the first time I saw most of the crew travel thousands of miles to celebrate for one person.

Generally, individuals obey the collective. I have never seen the collective obey the individual.

It also shows Zhang Yuan’s position in the crew.

"Congratulations, you should be able to get a lot of money this time." Zhang Yuan raised a glass to Fat Fan who was sitting next to him.

"It's all thanks to you, the producer Zhang."

"I always feel like your words 'big producer' are really mocking me."

"Oh, I'm just a little actor, how dare I?" Fan Bingbing said, raising his glass with a smile.

She even put her arm around his wrist and drank from his cup.

"it is good!"

This caused a large group of people at the table to cheer collectively.

Xu Jinglei wondered, looking at him like this, doesn't he look like he has any problems with his sexual orientation?

He was so close to Fan Bingbing that they were almost stuck together.

Could it be that he is pretending?

She still didn't doubt herself.

At the same time, Fan Bingbing's performance was completely different from the previous time he went to his house to attend a banquet.

Very relaxed, not at all alert.

This shows that she didn't take Xu Jinglei seriously at all and didn't regard him as an opponent.

"Actually, you made a profit this time." After drinking, Fan Bingbing wiped his mouth with the back of his hand generously.

"After all, you also paid a small amount of money."

Zhang Yuan only paid for some funds for reshoots and publicity costs, which totaled less than two million.

It accounts for about 15% of the total funding of the film.

"It's only two or three million, which is not a lot of money." He expressed indifference.

"You're getting more and more arrogant!" Fat Fan replied with narrowed eyes.

But I knew in my heart that even though it sounded exaggerated, he was telling the truth.

"Speaking of this..." Zhang Yuan remembered something and took out his cell phone.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, congratulations."

He called Jiang Zhiqiang.

He congratulated because "Lust, Caution" has been released and has performed well.

"Thank you." Boss Jiang felt awkward at first when he heard his words, but he quickly relaxed.

"He should come to express his gratitude sincerely."

"This young man is incredible!"

In fact, he was very nervous before "Lust, Caution" was released.

He was afraid that Zhang Yuan would say he would cooperate, but would stab him once the film was released.

It was not until he saw that the box office in the first week reached more than 30 million and nearly 40 million that he was completely relieved.

No stumbling blocks!
This young man kept his word.

When it comes to war, we fight, no ambiguity.

When we say we will cooperate, we will cooperate without any ambiguity.

Keep your word, this is the top business philosophy.

Once you let it go, you let it go without any dragging your feet.

Jiang Zhiqiang has met countless people, and only after this, he dared to be sure that the young man he was working with would be able to accomplish great things!

Not only him, but all the Hong Kong companies that cooperated with him were also relieved.

The fact that "Lust, Caution" is fine means that this show has completely come to an end.

After chatting with him for a while, Zhang Yuan reminded him, "Boss Jiang, I think South Korea really likes Hong Kong's erotic films."

"How is the performance of Lust, Caution in South Korea this time?"

It’s just been one day since I started painting, and the results are pretty good… Jiang Zhiqiang replied truthfully.

"That's good, but..."

Zhang Yuan roughly told him what happened when he was selling "Secret" in South Korea.

The Bang countrymen don't have good intentions.

Why did he mention this specifically?
The movie "Lust, Caution" is actually quite easy to sell thanks to Ang Lee's current fame.

Although the investment was over 100 million yuan, it eventually made back the profit through box office alone.

The film performed well in the mainland, with considerable box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even North America.

But the place with the best results is South Korea!
But it's still the same, the sticks are still the same old stuff.

When it was first released, the results were pretty average.

The island country has more than 200 million US dollars, and South Korea is not as good as the island country.

After the first round ended, several major South Korean companies bought the copyright and reversed the downward trend!
It was re-screened for the second and third rounds, with full screenings and incredibly high box office.

With 1/30 of the population, it exceeded the total box office revenue of the entire continent!

It is also because of this achievement that Tang Wei established his popularity in South Korea.

This led to their subsequent collaborations and the marriage to a Korean woman.

The Koreans really treat Tom Wei as a big star.

"What I mean is, don't sell all the copyrights. You still have to share the profits in the end, and you have to be careful of the Koreans playing tricks."

"Okay, I understand your suggestion." Jiang Zhiqiang agreed seriously.

"Do you still give advice to others?" After a long time, Fan Bingbing saw him put down his phone and asked curiously.

"Since we are partners, we have to take care of each other. This is what we should do."

“Only when there is mutual benefit can we truly become friends.”

"You're quite kind."

Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly. This is not a question of good intentions or bad intentions.

After he finished talking about "Lust, Caution", Jiang Zhiqiang immediately returned the favor.

The film industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has been established for some time, but no projects have been launched yet.

And Boss Jiang brought him a project.

On Huan Ya’s side, there is a script for a romance film called “The Dragon and the Phoenix”.

He planned to let Zhang Yuan take a look to see if it was suitable to be the company's first work.

Zhang Yuan remembered that this play seemed to be a collaboration between Huan Ya and Hua Yi in its previous life.

And it was profitable.

Hehe, the one I intercepted was Huayi!

The director of the script is Liu Weiqiang, who directed "Infernal Affairs" and "Initial D". He has also worked with Zhang Yuan before and is quite familiar with him.

Whenever it comes to Liu Weiqiang's films, he will definitely look for Brother Hua first.

Unless he is not available or doesn't want to shoot, he will definitely be the male lead.

Zhang Yuan then held the wine glass and walked to Brother Hua's side.

"Wow, should I call you boss now?"

Brother Hua had heard of this script, but he didn't expect it to be passed back and forth and finally come to Zhang Yuan.

"You can call me whatever you want, even Xiaoyuan."

"Hahaha..." Brother Hua patted him on the shoulder and said they would talk about it in detail later.

With him around, both sides feel at ease as they are family.

Zhang Yuan was thinking that the original heroine of this play was Shu Qi.

Because Hua Yi has always been interested in Shu Qi, she was cast as the female lead in several dramas, including Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" series.

Originally Shu Qi was from Huan Ya, that is, Lin Jianyue's person.

After nearly ten years of cooperation between Huanya Entertainment and Huayi, the two Wang brothers very unkindly poached Shu Qi and her agent to Huayi.

After that, the two companies had little contact.

It is indeed not very wise to poach people from your partners.

I am a kind-hearted person and I can't bear to see Boss Lin suffer any loss.

So Shu Qi is not needed in this film.

And the original second female lead of this drama was Denise Ho.

This person later became completely infamous because of his involvement in Hong Kong D.

So it can’t be used either.

Look, this can't be used, and that can't be used. Why does God force me to use my people?

God's will!
There was no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Producer Zhang." He thought as he sat down.

A charming voice immediately came to my ear.

Fan Bingbing deliberately pinched her throat and called him.

"I told you not to call me that. I'm not used to it."

"Okay, let me be serious with you."

"You have a new movie, would you consider me?"

"I'll schedule a date for you." Fan Bingbing knew that if he liked a play, it would probably be a good one.

I have to take the initiative.

"This is my first drama with the Hong Kong industry, so I have to be careful."

"You can only use your own people whom you can trust."

When Fan Bingbing heard him say this, she immediately pursed her lips.

Click me!
Let’s talk about the cooperative studio again.

When it comes to work and making money, he is very businesslike and ruthless.

Zhang Yuan is not like those big guys in the Hong Kong circle. If they fall in love with a female star, they will risk their life to support her unconditionally and even buy her a car and a house.

I don't keep idle people here.

"I know. The company is working on it. Don't worry." Seeing that he was not ready to act until he saw the rabbit, Fan Bingbing quickly replied.

"Okay, hold on tight...By the way, what about you tonight..." Zhang Yuan asked tentatively.

"Why, Producer Zhang wants to invite me to his room to discuss the play?" Fat Fan narrowed his eyes and licked his lips.

"You said you were interested in the new play, shouldn't we talk about it?"

"Also, I told you not to call Producer Zhang."

"When you call me like that, I always feel like you're calling the bearded man."

"Is what you want to do now different from what the bearded man does?" Fan Bingbing asked jokingly.

"Of course not, I'm much prettier than him!"

"Hehehe..." Fan Bingbing laughed like a silver bell.

That makes sense.

"Let's be serious." After Fan Bingbing finished laughing, he said seriously.

"I have to catch a flight with the director and others to attend the Tokyo Film Festival in a while."

"You know, I'm indispensable for promoting works and walking on the red carpet."

Having said that, she leaned close to Zhang Yuan's ear and whispered in a wet tone.

"Although I really want to stay with you, I can only wait until next time."

Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly.

They are both very career-oriented, so they can't even schedule an affair...

After celebrating for a long time and getting drunk, the party ended.

Send the crew members to the car and leave.

Before leaving, he specifically told Zhu Yawen not to buy CDs or go to red-light districts in the island country, so as to avoid being photographed and embarrassed.

"Boss, how come you are so familiar with these things?"

Zhu Yawen, who had drunk a lot, asked with a flushed face.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

I almost got myself killed because I brought a CD to Brother Qian before.

"One more thing, there will be a new movie soon, and I plan to let you try it."

"It's a commercial film, so be prepared."

“It also does better at foreign film festivals.”

Zhang Yuan was talking about "The Dragon and the Phoenix", and he was planning to let him play the second male lead.

Zhu Yawen was shaking with excitement!

I'm going to succeed!

This play has just ended and the boss has arranged another one!

Wang Jinhua, I’m going to go to your place!
It's a good choice to come here.

The happy guy hugged him and kissed him.

After being pushed away by him in disgust, this man took three steps at a time and jumped onto the minibus.

Fan Bingbing heard it all.

He really takes care of his own people.

But the prerequisite is that they are “one of our own”.

Thinking about tightening the clamp and cooperating, she turned around and spoke.

"Are you going to the Formosa Golden Horse Awards at the end of the year?"

"I'll consider it." Zhang Yuan did not agree directly.

Because the Golden Horse Awards conflicted with the filming date of "The Warlords".

If he wants to go, he has to ask for leave.

You have to ask Chen Kexin first and respect the director.

"Can we win the prize?" Fan Bingbing asked expectantly.

"Who knows?" He still gave a noncommittal answer.

"Just wait for the notification."

"I understand!" Fan Bingbing also jumped into the car in three steps.

Let me wait for notification... I didn’t win the prize, but I won’t be notified!
After the vehicle started, she even leaned on the car window and blew him a kiss.

With the Golden Horse Awards in my mind, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down in the hotel.

Early the next morning, he arrived at the crew and went straight to Chen Kexin's lounge.

The sooner you tell the director, the better.

I walked to the front of the house and was about to knock on the door.

But I heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

He stood at the door, feeling a bit hesitant, when the door was suddenly opened inwards.

Martial arts director Cheng Xiaodong walked out with big strides.

"You're here."

After saying hello to him, he left angrily.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

Seeing Chen Kexin scratching her head in the room, I don’t know what happened between them... (End of this chapter)
