Actor: Thank you.

Zhang Yuan and Harvey chatted until late at night.

He finished a cigar and drank two bottles of brandy.

The big foreign horses were all asleep upstairs and no one came to visit.

It can be seen that for Lao Youzi, the temptation of money is obviously greater than that of women.

After all, as long as you have money, power and resources, you can play with women as you like, so it doesn't matter if you spend some time on them.

People like Harvey have played in half of Hollywood.

And they never spend any money, it’s all for free.

At most, give some small resources.

In most cases, it’s all about coercion and inducement, and if you don’t cooperate, they will kill you.

The entertainment industry in the Beacon Country is not much less lively than that in South Korea.

Compared with these old Jewish guys, the golden-haired buddy of the Jackson family really stands on the moral high ground.

Able to speak loudly.

"You are worse than bandits."

"Can you guys spend some money on this kind of thing?"

"Spend a little, it won't cost much."

"Even if it's prostitution?"

"I turned off the lights!"

"And you still want the people to remember you well?"

"In one word, disgusting!"

But Zhang Yuan doesn't care whether these old Jews are rotten or not.

The worse you are, the better.

It would be best if the entire Hollywood, the most powerful cultural weapon of the West, was completely destroyed and torn apart. That would be great.

Ordinary gangsters and bandits are all sustainable in their pursuit of profit.

But the old Jews are different. They never pursue sustainability.

"Zhang, I think your Chinese cultural department is too conservative!"

After they had finished talking about the serious business, Harvey started complaining.

"You obviously have a huge market of 13 billion people."

“This is the world’s largest single market!”

"But you managers have imposed all kinds of restrictions, leaving very few options for topics and content."

In the film and television industry, Harvey can be considered an expert on China.

He is very familiar with the Chinese market.

He is familiar with all of China's top directors.

This is also the reason why he entertained Zhang Yuan so warmly.

Precisely because he understood, he knew how fast this young Chinese man was developing in his own country!

Of course he wants to win over potential stocks.

The best thing is not to win over the dog, but to train it.

It would be even better if you could make the other party your agent or comprador in China.

That's why he used extreme pressure to test Zhang Yuan's bottom line.

When the beauty trap fails, try to exert extreme pressure.

When extreme pressure failed, now he's trying to "tell you what's in my heart".

"If I were the ruler of your country." Harvey waved his arms.

"Pornographic film, watch it!"

"Red Light District, open!"

"Casino, do it!"

“Whatever makes money comes.”

"Whatever happiness comes!"

Zhang Yuan: …

You and Mr. Hou have the same ambition.

I would say that Mr. Hou is ahead of his time.

"Harvey, we have to have some bottom line." Zhang Yuan disagreed.

"Hahahaha...my Chinese friend."

"You are too naive." Seeing that he was not moved, Harvey deliberately laughed at him.

“I make them happy and they give me money.”

"It has nothing to do with morality, law, or culture."

"And I also hate any moral, legal and cultural restrictions on me."

“Making money is the only thing.”

"Benefits are eternal."

"This is a world of capital. In the world of capital, there are no emotions, only interests."

"Whoever can grab more benefits will be the king."

Harvey tried his best to brainwash him and instill his values ​​in him.

What you said... Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded.

"I hope you can have the same wisdom as me." Harvey grinned like a Pixiu.

"Maybe."

Things were pretty much settled, and he didn't stay to have an affair with Harvey.

Just as careful as he was in Korea.

Although many people are eager to participate in this group of people's parties.

But they only see the benefits and not the risks.

Playing together is just a token of friendship.

You can get benefits by signing a pledge of allegiance, but you will also be exposed.

Next time someone asks you to do something, will you refuse to agree?
He took out your bed photo.

How can you not agree?
He would never be fooled!
Anyway, the goal has been achieved.

In the next few days, find the contract lawyer you used before and sign an agreement with the other party.

As for his so-called wisdom...

Zhang Yuan glanced at the entrance of Harvey's house. People in Beverly Hills are really rich, and the street lights are really bright.

It’s better not to keep this wisdom that has been wandering for thousands of years.

I took a bus to a hotel in the city, took a shower, and lay down to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already bright.

Call the front desk and ask the catering department to send up some food.

I also specifically asked if there was any Chinese food.

The other party gave a bunch of names of "American Chinese food".

Representative of this is General Tso’s Chicken.

Zhang Yuan originally thought that since today was Chinese New Year, he should have some Chinese food.

Better than a hamburger and coke sandwich.

Sweet and sour chicken...

"Okay." He agreed anyway.

Just for the three words "Zuo Zongtang", he endured it.

I had just finished filming "The Warlords" and had just escaped from the extremely dark late Qing Dynasty.

In that dark age, Zuo Zongtang was already considered a ray of national light.

Just based on the fact that he carried the coffin and recovered Xinjiang, this person definitely deserves a separate page in the history books.

In contrast, a Qing Dynasty paperhanger opposed the recovery of Xinjiang, and even believed that it was lost, as it was a barren land anyway.

This triggered a dispute between Li and Zuo over coastal and frontier defense.

China has been a land power for thousands of years, but some people actually think that the Beiyang Fleet is more important than the entire New Zombie Army.

In fact, it was still a question of distribution of interests and rights. He was afraid that if Zuo Zongtang went to war, it would affect his own financial resources and the budget of his navy.

In the end, it was Zuo Zongtang's white glove, the famous red-top businessman Hu Xueyan, who went to Britain for a loan to recover XJ's budget.

But within a few years, Hu Xueyan was bankrupted by Sheng Xuanhuai, the white glove of the Prime Minister, and died in depression.

Even so, there are a large number of people in China today who are trying to deceive Li Zhongtang.

This trend is also related to the film and television industry.

Because among all the works that whitewashed him, the most influential one was the TV series "Towards the Republic".

The producer of this drama is the producer of "The Yongzheng Dynasty" and "The Qianlong Dynasty".

Although the acting skills of the actors in these two dramas are very good, there is also a tendency to glorify the Qing Dynasty.

The batch of TV dramas produced in the late 90s and early st century had significant problems with their ideology and stance.

So he could tolerate General Tso’s Chicken even if it tasted like sweet and sour pork.

After all, without him, there would be no Tong Liya, Gulinaza, Dilireba...

The purpose of recovering XJ cannot be just for those raisins.

"Hey, brother, happy new year."

Zhang Yuan made a special call to Teacher Guo.

"Happy New Year, where are you?"

"I'm on a business trip to the Lighthouse Country. How are you guys doing?"

"You are too busy. We are all fine. Let's make dumplings together and have dinner together later."

"Okay, say hello to everyone for me."

The time difference between China and the United States is 13 hours. It is broad daylight here, but it is just getting dark in the imperial capital.

It’s time to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"Junior brother, the tablet for the master is ready."

"The group provided for me backstage, and my family provided for me as well."

"You guys worship first, and I'll burn incense when I come back." He answered with a heavy voice.

"Okay, I'll leave you a scent."

"Well... I have something else to ask you."

"I'll send you my measurements, and help me find a manufacturer to make a few custom gowns."

"Ah?" Teacher Guo was stunned when he heard this request.

"You want to go on stage and do crosstalk?"

"Are you going to be on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"It's too late now."

When he was wishing New Year's greetings to Zhang Guoli before, Uncle Guoli mentioned that Zhang Yuan had replaced someone in the Spring Festival Gala program, so when he heard this, he thought of this.

Both he and Yu Qian were shocked at that time.

My junior brother is really good!
It only takes one sentence to change someone.

This is not a rural temple fair, you can't change it at will.

That is a "grand and elegant place".

"My kung fu is far inferior to yours and Brother Qian's, so how can I be qualified to go on stage?"

"I have other uses for the gown, so you can just order it for me."

"Row."

Everyone backstage at Deyuan Society has to wear a gown when they go on the show, so Teacher Guo has connections with a factory that makes gowns.

Later, he took over the factory and established Deyun Chinese Clothing.

"I'll order you one with a dragon over the shoulder." "Sequins, purple, looks handsome, okay?"

There are also some requirements for backstage gowns.

Solid and bright colors are worn by apprentices, making them look young and fresh.

Only when you reach a certain level and status can you wear dark colors.

Even more amazing is the gold thread.

When it comes to Guo and Yu, there are patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, lions and tigers, hairtail fish, clams, and mantis shrimps.

The higher you go, the more expensive it is.

When I heard that I was going to do it for him, I knew it had to be of their level.

But he refused.

"No, just a solid color, and the material should be pure cotton, no satin."

"As for the color, use pure black or navy blue fabric."

"So low-key?"

Ta-da... "Sir, your meal is here."

The hotel is delivering meals to your door at this moment.

"Excuse me, can I take a picture with you?"

The waiter smiled innocently and took out his camera.

After appearing on so many shows following Rush Hour 3, it did have an effect.

"Sir, if you need it, our hotel can receive Huaxia TV."

Seeing that he was Chinese and today was the Chinese New Year, he was very satisfied after receiving the photo and even gave me a thoughtful reminder.

"Oh, now foreigners recognize you." Teacher Guo said on the phone.

"That's right. I've become famous abroad a long time ago."

"Don't even mention knowing me. I know the president."

"Then when will you take us to perform crosstalk for the president?" Teacher Guo thought it was a joke and responded with a joke.

Put down your phone and let Teacher Guo help you do it.

He sat down at the dining table, poured himself some red wine, opened his plate, and at the same time pressed the remote control to tune to CCTV-1.

“Oh, it really is.”

The international status has been greatly improved.

After all, the hotel doesn’t have Iraqi or Greek channels.

If you want to have a presence internationally, you need money.

The Spring Festival Gala has begun.

The Spring Festival Gala these days has not yet been infected with the bad habit of "making dumplings".

Although it is a little weaker than in previous years, it still has a strong New Year atmosphere.

A mainstream crosstalk called "Crazy Stock Fans" is being broadcast right now.

The actor is from Ma Ji's lineage.

Don't tell me, it's quite appropriate.

Because A-shares rose sharply at the beginning of 08.

In the Olympic year, everyone is optimistic about China's market prospects.

The market continued to rise until early May, when the Shanghai Composite Index broke through 5 points.

But the natural disasters in May brought this growth to an abrupt halt.

After Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in September, there was even more wailing.

By October, there were less than 10 points left.

The entire Chinese stock market was not cut in half, but folded three times.

After that, it remained sideways for 7 years until 15 when it surged and broke through 5000 points.

Zhang Yuan has no plans to trade stocks.

The less I make, the less I earn from filming my own movies.

If you speculate too much, you will be hunted by institutions.

The best way is to enter the stock market and become a banker.

The next program was also in line with the occasion, and CCTV specially invited S·H·E to sing "Chinese".

Although this song is a pop song, it is still somewhat related to him.

After all, the song contains these tongue-twisting words.

We ate and watched, and soon it was time for the poetry recitation "Warmth 2008".

He saw a group of familiar faces singing very mainstream content on the TV screen with great emotion and powerful voice.

In the past, he hated these things.

But now, he felt it was necessary.

Even if you don't like to read it, you have to have it, otherwise the cultural high ground will be occupied by others.

After the poetry recitation, Zhang Yuan waited for about five minutes and then called Cheng Hao overseas.

"Congratulations. I just saw your performance."

"very good."

"Oh, I'm so nervous, my heart is about to jump out of my chest." The good sister was surprised by his words.

I didn't expect that he was still paying attention to me even though he was thousands of miles away.

This is her first time to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, which is of great significance.

"Go home and eat quickly."

"Come back early after you finish your work. I won't talk to you anymore because the phone bill is so expensive." She said it sweetly, but her stingy nature was exposed in the end.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

"Well, you have to be successful too."

The two of them congratulated each other, and the atmosphere was full of spring.

But some people celebrate the Beginning of Spring, while others celebrate the Winter Solstice.

Xu Jinglei watched this poetry recitation program at home, especially the turquoise embroidered cheongsam that Cheng Hao wore when she went on stage. He was so envious that his teeth almost broke!
"She said all my words!"

"Why can she get on?"

"Obviously, I look better and have better abilities than her."

"Isn't it all about relying on men?"

You didn't say a word about using your own connections.

But she wasn't entirely wrong.

Without Zhang Yuan, Cheng Hao would not be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

She had tried to get it in her previous life.

But because of the singing in rehearsal, the role was given to Sun Yue…not the Sun Yue who raises elephants, but the one who sang “Wish You Peace”.

She was almost led out of tune by Sun Yue.

Knowing that he didn't have the ability and that lip-syncing was not allowed on the Spring Festival Gala, he voluntarily withdrew.

He is considered to have some respect among artists.

After watching Baoqiang’s two shows, he also called his buddies.

"Happy New Year, brother!"

He was also extremely excited.

This is also his first time to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

"You did well."

"Don't work so hard next year. You won't be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with your family."

"I'm not tired!"

"I mean, let others do the hard work."

Baoqiang finally understood.

The company’s resources and connections cannot always be with you.

Once is enough, change to someone else next year.

"Okay." He is not a stingy person and knows how to be satisfied.

"Happy New Year."

After talking to him, Zhang Yuan continued to eat and watch.

When Zhao Benshan and Song Xinxin's "Torchbearer" was broadcast, he knew without looking at the time that it must be close to midnight in China.

However, this year before midnight, seven astronauts greeted each other for the new year, and before that, Jay Chou sang "Blue and White Porcelain" solo.

Such an important time was given to Jay Chou, which shows how great the influence of "Blue and White Porcelain", a song that was only released a few months ago, is!
When I went to watch the rehearsal, the program "Torchbearers" also included content about the Chinese national football team.

But Zhang Yuan felt that it was unlucky to mention the national football team during the New Year, as it would upset everyone, so he decided not to come.

Sure enough, it was deleted from the official program.

Moreover, Uncle Benshan secretly told him that he had kept a trump card!

"Give the old ghost a kiss, huh!"

Teacher Zhao kissed Teacher Dandan on the cheek.

This is his trump card!

This move had never been done in rehearsals before.

All the directors, reviewers, and hosts are unaware of this.

Only appears during live performances!
This is a little joke of the old artist, and also a hidden trick.

Zhao Benshan doesn't want to be boxed in by censorship.

Although the quality is not as good as the previous "White Clouds, Black Soil" series, the overall level is still the best language program of this year.

No matter how many times he watches it, Zhang Yuan can still feel happy.

But when the show ended and the host came on stage, he was not very happy anymore.

The hosts of this session are still Zhu Jun and Dong Qing.

Teacher Zhu is so miserable!

He is basically the domestic version of Jackson.

It is difficult for a person to reach a high position.

But it is so easy to destroy a person.

There is obviously someone behind this incident, and the problem is not just a little fairy who wants to be famous and extort money.

And he's not the only one who's unlucky.

Singer Xian Zi, because she had the same name as the slanderer, was scolded for no reason and almost quit the Internet...

And Dong Qing.

The child is an American citizen and the husband is a pharmaceutical tycoon in Shanghai.

He made a fortune during the epidemic and then went bankrupt and ran away.

But before bankruptcy, it invested crazily in various enterprises and carried out various financing and financial projects.

What does the company’s bankruptcy have to do with me personally?

The situation of Teacher Dong and her husband is a bit like that of Jia Yueting and his wife.

I can only say that some people keep work and life very separate.

These two hosts are exactly what this saying is.

"Good people deserve to be pointed at with guns!"

"What kind of bullshit is this?"

On the contrary, people with two faces live an exceptionally comfortable life.

On TV, everyone counted down in unison.

"3, 2, 1... Happy New Year!"

Zhang Yuan and 13 billion Chinese people welcomed the Olympic Year... (End of this chapter)
