Actor: Thank you.

"Come on, I'll take you shopping."

"And then come back for tea." After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Yuan found Cheng Hao who was waiting for him in a nearby cafe.

"nailed it?"

"Of course, such a small matter will definitely be taken care of."

Zhen Zidan, such a troublesome matter, becomes a trivial matter in your mouth... The good sister narrowed her eyes and looked at her.

"How exactly?"

Zhang Yuan then told the story in general terms.

"A Kung Fu movie?"

"Is this all you want?" Cheng Hao asked puzzledly.

"Not only for this, but through this film, I can also consolidate my position within the joint venture company."

"The premise is that the film makes money. If it loses money, it will damage your reputation." Cheng Hao immediately took over.

"That's right, but it would be nice if we don't lose money." Zhang Yuan replied nonchalantly.

"That's easy for you to say." Cheng Hao was still as conservative as usual.

But what Zhang Yuan needed was her relatively conservative style.

Because if there are two people as crazy as him inside, it would be easy to get into big trouble.

One is a little crazier, the other is gentler, so they can neutralize each other.

"Also, are you helping Zhen Zidan pay for it?"

After hearing this, Cheng Hao's heart bled.

What this refers to is the salary that Zhen Zidan had already received in advance from the crew of "Painted Skin".

In the meeting just now, Zhang Yuan said that he would pay for the crew's losses.

More than 500 million!

Cheng Hao felt his arms were numb and painful.

"I said I would pay, and I'm being polite."

"If you really let me go, I won't be polite." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

If you take my politeness seriously, then Huang Baiming's years of work would have been in vain.

Just like Shao Bing had a falling out with Big Beard and left the crew of "Swordsman".

This incident is also considered a major mystery in the Chinese TV drama industry, with both parties holding different opinions.

The bearded man said Shao Bing was being arrogant, and Shao Bing said the bearded man was deliberately messing with him.

How is this situation different from the current situation of Zhang Yuan and Zhen Zidan?
Didn’t Shao Bing obediently return the 100 million yuan in salary back then?

Because he knows that paying back the money would just mean admitting defeat and suffering a loss.

If you don’t want to pay me back, that’s fine.

It's not just as simple as suffering a loss.

Because the money has been repaid, the matter is over.

The matter is not over until the money is repaid.

It’s up to you. I won’t force you to abide by the rules of the underworld or not.

"Who should we find to replace Zhen Zidan now?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Zhang Yuan took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Brother Zhuo, I'm Zhang Yuan. Do you have time recently?"

Before coming to Hong Kong, he asked Wu Jing to help contact Zhao Wenzhuo.

After Zhen Zidan withdrew, there were vacancies in both variety shows and movies.

For both projects, you need to be able to fight and have a good image.

There are still a few capable people in Hong Kong.

However, Zhang Yuan must use mainland artists.

To avoid communication problems.

Besides, Zhao Wenzhuo’s skills are real.

Wu Jing was the one who competed with him on the same stage back then.

They both participated in the 92 National Wushu Competition.

At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo was already famous in the industry, while Wu Jingcai was just a rookie.

They knew each other, but they had not worked together much since their debut.

Wu Jing is a person who is good at making friends, but Zhuo Ge is a bit boring.

This person is famous in the martial arts world as being relatively "unique".

He speaks bluntly, has a bad temper, and is not good at dealing with many people.

When you have nothing to do, practice exercises to maintain your health.

Compared to Chen Long and Wu Jing, who like to tease others, he is more like Li Lianjie in the later period.

Such people will suffer a lot in the entertainment industry. After Leslie Cheung filmed "Full House", he said that Zhao Wenzhuo was too upright and was not suitable for the entertainment industry.

It was Leslie Cheung who introduced Anita Mui to him.

Speaking of which, Zhao Wenzhuo and Chen Long have some connections.

The two kung fu stars may be kindred spirits.

Because Zhao Wenzhuo also dated Wu Qili...the one who gave birth to Little Dragon Girl.

This woman will do anything to get to the top and wants to get close to everyone.

Letting Zhao Wenzhuo replace Zhen Zidan's position can be considered as revenge for Brother Zhuo in his previous life.

I made an appointment to meet in person and talked about this matter with Chen Jiashang.

Director Chen thought to himself, who has the final say in this crew?
All the actors have been replaced for you.

From the "army of all nations" at the beginning, in the blink of an eye, they all became the "Zhang family army"...

But what he said made sense. Zhao Wenzhuo's martial arts skills and popularity were already very high.

Even though Brother Zhuo no longer participated in the Hong Kong circle after 00 and did not make any big-budget movies.

But he is doing very well in the TV drama industry!

"Storm of the Storm", "Empress Dowager", "Mulan".

In the TV drama industry now, he is a top star.

Looking at the current crew members of "Painted Skin", they all started out in the TV drama industry in the 00s, there's nothing wrong with that.

Producer Pang Hong still prefers to use Zhen Zidan.

But when I think about how the two male protagonists were fighting like this just after filming started.

It just so happens that the senior one is no match for the less experienced one.

Just change it, as long as the film can go on.

He was also afraid. After all, this was an all-in game at Ning Film Studio.

Zhang Yuan accompanied Cheng Hao to buy a lot of luggage, cosmetics, and some souvenirs to bring back to the mainland.

We had another meal together.

Good sister especially enjoys this "daily life".

Whether it was eating together, shopping, or presenting him with an award, it was closer to her ideal life.

But this "daily life" can never really become daily life.

After dinner, Zhang Yuan became busy again.

We agreed to master Wing Chun within two weeks, and it cannot just be talk.

How to practice then?
Of course you have to find a master.

He went to visit and found the most "authentic" one.

"Hello, Master Ye."

The person he found was Ip Man’s eldest son.

He is the prototype of the little boy in the film, Master Ye Zhun.

I want to play your father... Zhang Yuan suppressed the words in his heart and bowed politely.

Ye Zhun is now over 80 years old, but he is still in good spirits.

He comes from a wealthy family and is a martial arts family, so he is in really good health.

Seeing him coming, Mr. Ye's face looked a little unhappy.

why?

Because he was the one who taught Zhen Zidan before.

His so-called teaching is just consulting, not sparring. The actual teaching is left to the apprentice.

Ye Zhun has been running around and strongly supporting this drama.

The reason is also very simple.

People also want to make money.

If you make Wing Chun famous, enhance your father's reputation, and become a master, you can make money, right?

In fact, Ye Zhun has always wanted to be involved in film and television for many years, and has played his father in movies many times.

After years of operation, it has become somewhat famous.

Finally attracted the attention of a big director.

It’s a pity that this great director is the king of sunglasses.

In 97, King of Sunglasses began to work on the script with Liu Zhenwei.

Then it took me all the way until 09 to start the preliminary preparations...

The King of Sunglasses's meticulous work is indeed very thorough, but can others bear it?

Therefore, Yip Chun had high expectations for this kung fu film that depicts his father.

Now suddenly I have to change people...

Look at the young man in front of him.

The image is definitely better than Zhen Zidan, there is no doubt about it.

It helps to create a better image for my dad.

But this tall and handsome guy, does he know kung fu?

And I’m not from Hong Kong or Guangdong Province, is that appropriate?

I don't know if he has any kung fu skills.

Ye Zhun has no time to watch TV dramas and doesn't know him well.

"Master Ye, I am here to ask for your guidance and learn the most authentic Ye style Wing Chun."

"But I'm too busy at work. I have something else to do."

"Can you or your disciples follow me to the mainland and teach me after my daily work?"

"I'll pay for the trip."

"Ten thousand a day."

Mr. Ye Zhun waved his hand: "This is not a matter of money."

"Kung Fu is not something you can learn just by wanting to. It requires understanding and talent, as well as years of practice. It cannot be accomplished in a few weeks."

"US dollars." Zhang Yuan added two more words.

Ye Zhun frowned and continued to wave his hands: "I said, it's not about money."

"I can see that you are an extraordinary person. You are definitely a one-in-a-million martial arts genius."

"You can do what ordinary people can't do."

"How can you miss a great person if you meet him?"

"Young friend Zhang Yuan, if you are willing to learn Wing Chun, I am willing to teach you personally."

Ten thousand dollars a day.

14 million in two weeks.

Equivalent to more than one million Hong Kong dollars...

Wing Chun is all about speed.

Mr. Ye is not only fast with his fists, but also fast in mental arithmetic.

Zhang Yuan is willing to spend so much money, not to learn kung fu, but to pay the "franchise fee".

Just like dealing with Huang Baiming.

If you take a picture of someone else's father and don't get recognition from his own family, it will be very troublesome if he says weird things during the promotion period.

Moreover, the Ye family, or the Wing Chun family's tradition is more utilitarian.

After the movie "Ip Man" became popular, Ip Chun's younger brother, Ip Man's youngest son, Ip Shaohua.

They have the same father but different mothers, so the younger brother publicly accused Ye Zhun of making money from his father but not giving him any share of the profits.

The manager of the World Wing Chun Federation, Zhang Zhuoqing, who was also Ip Man's eldest disciple, was later "cleaned out" by Ip Chun and expelled from the Wing Chun sect.

Because this old man intends to let Wing Chun "return to his roots" and erect a monument in Shaolin Temple...

It is said that all martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin.

If you did this without taking advantage of Shi Yongxing, no one would believe you if you told others about it.

Isn’t it because Shaolin saw that Ip Man and Wing Chun were popular and wanted to take them over to its own name?

According to the abbot's habit, once it is done, if anyone wants to make a film or TV show related to Wing Chun in the future, he will definitely sue you and demand protection money.

Because of this incident, the Foshan Martial Arts Association filed a lawsuit in the imperial capital.

Only then did Shaolin stop.

As for Master Zhang, who was expelled from Wing Chun, he doesn't care at all about the fighting in your country.

Because he is originally in the overseas circle.

His nationality was changed to Australian long ago, and he once served as the chief coach of the Seventh Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

Anyway, the Ye family is a very chaotic one, so naturally making money is the most practical thing for them.

One day you are indifferent.

I'm amazed at ten thousand dollars a day.

The poor are good at literature but rich are good at martial arts, that's the truth.

The old man directly called him "living dad".

He looks just like his father when he was young.

He also taught me a few tricks on the spot.

He also said that he would send his eldest disciple Peng Yaojun to the mainland to teach personally.

Zhang Yuan thanked him repeatedly.

As for how much commission the old man took from the trip, he didn't care.

Anyway, Ip Man’s own son recognized me, which is an official stamp of approval, and his goal has been achieved.

After agreeing on a time, Zhang Yuan left Mr. Ye's house.

"Spending so much money again!" When Cheng Hao heard that it would cost more than one million in two weeks to learn kung fu, his nerves, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

Meat hurts.

“These are all unavoidable costs.”

"When doing big things, you can't be too particular about small details."

"Because sometimes saving a little money can ruin a lot."

"Forget about you and FHM."

"Okay, okay..." Cheng Hao quickly covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.

"You're making such a big deal, isn't it too ostentatious?"

"Where is this?"

“These are just appetizers.”

Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers: "The big one is still to come!"

He was busy rushing back to the imperial capital to meet with Zhao Wenzhuo in person.

At the same time, Xiangjiang.

At this moment, Mr. Ye is not the only one who thinks that the young man Zhang Yuan is a "living father".

Zhen Zidan thought so too!
When he met Huang Baiming at home and heard the outcome of the matter, he froze.

"Not only did it unload the two jobs I had on hand."

"And they took away my future job!"

Is this still a human being?

This mainland guy is too cruel!

Huang Baiming kept advising him.

thought in mind.

It's just a kung fu movie, if it's gone, it's gone.

It's just a play, it won't be a big loss... (End of this chapter)
