Actor: Thank you.

"Mr. Huang, I can't swallow this." Guoji Dan was indignant.

I lost my job on Painted Skin.

He also threw away "Ip Man".

I have been preparing for these for half a year.

Later, when he targeted Zhao Wenzhuo, his attack was not as lenient as this time.

They form cliques everywhere and talk about this whenever they go on a show.

But I didn’t feel like I was overdoing it.

People are like this, they can gain power but cannot suffer losses.

I get angry when I suffer a loss.

"Don't be angry either."

“Just shoot something else.”

"Speaking of which, remember to return the money the Painted Skin crew gave you."

"Why!"

When Zhen Zidan heard this, he became even more unhappy.

How come I have to vomit out what I have eaten?
Huang Baiming glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

You're already in such a miserable state even though no one has made it clear that they are targeting you.

Not paying back the money?
That's waiting for someone to reveal their cards to you.

Will you still be able to survive in the mainland by then?

Huang Baiming could feel that Zhang Yuan made the dumplings just for the vinegar of "Ip Man".

So after getting the vinegar, the other party should stop.

Brother Huang recalled Zhang Yuan’s opening remarks when they met.

"I have no conflict with him."

It seems that it is not a polite remark, but the truth.

It seemed that Zhang Yuan did not take this kung fu actor whom he had been supporting seriously at all.

Just as Zhang Yuan and Yang Siwei said.

The problem between him and Zhen Zidan was simply that the other was blocking his way.

The result is that destroying you has nothing to do with you.

He had been very reserved and hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.

Huang Baiming sighed and didn't explain much to the other party. Instead, he gave an example.

"Zhang Weijian offended him back then, and up until now, there are no movies featuring him in the mainland."

“That was just back then.”

"At that time, he was not even the protagonist."

"Now he is discussing business with Jiang Zhiqiang, Yang Shouchen and others."

"What do you think will happen if you don't do your job properly?"

International Dan took a deep breath.

Thinking of Zhang Weijian's current miserable condition, a chill ran down his spine.

"I understand." Then he quickly agreed.

"The movie "Ip Man"..." he asked again.

"Don't even think about it." Huang Baiming shook his head.

"They have already done it to the extreme."

When he saw the contract signed with Harvey that Zhang Yuan took out, Brother Huang knew that the matter was settled.

He has been recognized by foreigners, what else can I say?

Not to mention Hong Kong, the mainland market is the same.

Actors recognized by foreigners are of higher quality.

And the contract he offered was worth 300 million US dollars.

If this price was put in the past two years, it would not be too high.

The North American distribution rights for "House of Flying Daggers" sold for $1300 million.

Harvey bought the global distribution rights for "Hero" for US$2300 million.

When Ang Lee was filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he couldn't find investors at first.

After finally finding an investor from Taiwan, the Taiwan stock market plummeted before filming began and the investment was cancelled.

It was Jiang Zhiqiang who raised the money for him to start filming.

In the end, Boss Jiang made a fortune, the North American copyright of the film was sold for tens of millions, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million.

By the way, Ang Lee originally wanted to find Li Lianjie to play the role of Li Mubai in this play.

At that time, Lizhi was about to give birth, and Lao Li decided to accompany his wife and postponed the play.

Then it was Chow Yun Fat's turn to act.

Because this film was originally intended to be sold overseas, Li Lianjie has a much bigger presence in Hollywood than Zhou Runfa.

If I really wanted to be with my wife, I wouldn’t take this role.

Instead of using his wife as an excuse like Zhen Zidan did.

In the year 00, it was all about ancient costumes, action movies, and big directors.

As long as these keywords are added together, Chinese films can sell copyrights for tens of millions of US dollars overseas.

During those years, Chinese films were quite popular overseas.

The scene of "full of vitality and everything flourishing" is still before our eyes.

But some people can’t stand it anymore.

How can it cost so much to let overseas audiences watch a Chinese movie?
I have to get the price down!

So, poet Chen took out his "The Promise"!
The North American copyright fee of 3000 million US dollars almost made Harvey lose his pants.

Let him pay back all the money he earned from Lao Mouzi in the past few years, including the principal and interest.

Poet Chen is great!

They actually achieved something that ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Rome had not done.

That is to ask the Jews to "spit out what you have eaten and give back what you have taken"...

Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" was ruined by Harvey, which was actually closely related to Harvey's bad luck with poet Chen.

While poet Chen was achieving his accomplishments, he also created billions of side effects.

That is, the price of Chinese film copyrights has collapsed completely in the North American market!

Because "The Promise" broke the "myth" of Chinese films, Hollywood film producers lost confidence.

Even with Ang Lee in charge of "Lust, Caution", the price for the North American copyright was very low.

However, North American film producers did earn tens of millions of dollars from discs.

It is for this reason that when Zhang Yuan took out this contract, all the bigwigs in Hong Kong were shocked.

Lore!

No ideal or future is as convincing as green U.S. dollars.

The price of 300 million US dollars is not high, but it is already remarkable today when copyright fees are generally low.

"Ip Man" has no famous director and no period costumes.

They couldn't understand how Zhang Yuan sold this film, which hadn't been shot yet, at such a high price.

This money is enough to cover all the crew's initial expenses.

The filming budget of this film is less than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars.

At first, Huang Baiming got the book and went to find Li Lianjie.

The asking price is 100 million.

I contacted Chen Long again and his offer was cheaper.

8000 million.

But Uncle Long still follows the Hollywood way and demands 30% of the film’s profits.

Finally, Zhen Zidan was found, who only wanted 300 million... From the price tag, one can see the gap in status between him and the two big brothers.

Huang Baiming thought it was a good idea, so he asked his son to change the script and fit the character to International Dan.

Even because of this, Ip Man's age was deliberately raised.

Zhen Zidan is already 45 years old.

Judging from Ip Chun's age in the script, Ip Man should be just over 30 years old.

But the way she looks in the film clearly shows that she is more than 30 years old.

Practicing martial arts can easily harm the body and make the martial artist look older than ordinary people.

Zhao Wenzhuo looks young because he started to take care of his health since he was a teenager.

It is equivalent to external strength, and internal strength should be practiced together to maintain it properly.

So it’s not wrong to say that this film was tailor-made for Zhen Zidan.

Zhang Yuan went against the wind and went to Hollywood during the Chinese New Year just for this matter.

In addition to selling the copyright of "Crazy Racing" for 120 million US dollars, this is the movie.

And the way he convinced Harvey was very simple, just two words.

Kung Fu movies, Bruce Lee.

First is the Chinese Kung Fu film.

The protagonist of the story is Bruce Lee's master.

These are the only two points Zhang Yuan threw at him.

It was these two points that attracted Harvey's attention.

Even though Chen Long has become the most famous Chinese actor today.

His actual influence in Hollywood has actually surpassed that of Bruce Lee.

Because Bruce Lee died too early.

But just like Van Gogh, he died early, but became more famous. In terms of historical fame, Bruce Lee still surpasses Chen Long.

Take the yellow sportswear for example, it has appeared in many film and television works.

Zhang Yuan understood very well that it was useless to talk about ideals and hard work with Harvey, the old Jew.

Their only goal is to make money!

Then all I have to do is sell some to him.

Just like "Crazy Stone" can use Guy Ritchie's popularity as a selling point.

It is also reasonable for "Ip Man" to borrow from Bruce Lee.

Besides, it’s not really freeloading, as Bruce Lee did learn Kung Fu from Ip Man.

And Ip Man’s eldest disciple is Master Zhang, who was expelled from Wing Chun by Ip Chun.

Both Bruce Lee and he lived abroad and had close contacts.

After inventing Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee happily wrote a letter to inform his senior brother.

The advertisement is based on the world-famous IP of Bruce Lee, and the film is about the story of Master Bruce Lee, so isn't that a good point for publicity?

In addition, during the promotion of Rush Hour 3, Guess Who was given the title of "Little Bruce Lee" by the North American media with the praise of Chen Long.

Harvey clapped his hands after hearing this.

Some are available!
Even if the box office is average, the discs of kung fu movies sell well and the money will definitely be earned back.

That’s how we gained the support of foreigners.

With the support of foreigners, these Hong Kong bosses have nothing to say.

You are awesome for selling the movie to Hollywood.

After Huang Baiming told Zhen Zidan what happened, the old man was speechless.

I can only be a martial arts director in Hollywood and have to endure the bullying of black people.

What else can I say as long as they can sell the film?

He is not convinced by the mainlanders.

He was convinced by the mainlanders who were supported by the white people.

Zhang Yuan has not changed, what has changed is Zhen Zidan's mentality.

International Dan can now really accompany his wife to give birth to a child...

The next day, in the Dongshan villa area of ​​the imperial capital.

This place is on the East Fourth Ring Road, close to Chaoyang Park, and nearby are shopping districts such as Yansha and Lido. It is a good place.

And Zhao Wenzhuo's residence is here.

Although his wealth is far less than that of Chen Long and Li Lianjie.

But after all, he has been in the Hong Kong circle since the 90s and has made a lot of money.

This place was completed in early 05 and has a total of 155 apartments.

In 06, it was already worth tens of millions.

A very famous news in later generations, a villa worth 9000 million was sold for 1500 million, was about this community.

It's just another clickbait headline. The price of the 9000 million yuan villa was reduced by 1500 million yuan, not sold for only 1500 million yuan.

And the house that cost 9000 million yuan in later generations is not even the best in this community.

"Teacher Niu... No, Teacher Zhang, hello."

Zhang Yuan, Chen Jiashang and Cheng Hao came to Brother Zhuo's house together.

The person who came out to greet the two was Zhao Wenzhuo's wife Zhang Danlu.

This person is also an actor.

She is Niu Xiaoling in "A Northeastern Family".

Zhang Yuan almost called out the wrong name.

"Wenzhuo is practicing in the backyard, excuse me." Teacher Zhang poured them some water and greeted them.

"He is a person who doesn't care about anything when he starts practicing. He won't stop until he's done with it."

"I'm so sorry."

To put it nicely, Zhao Wenzhuo is a very dedicated and persistent person when it comes to martial arts.

To put it bluntly, he is a bit of a martial arts fanatic.

A large group of people came to see him, but this old man was still practicing.

Otherwise it’s easy to offend people in the entertainment industry.

When he acts, he still focuses on his own goals and puts human relationships behind.

Fortunately, my wife is very virtuous and was quick to greet me.

After chatting with her, I found out that this actress, who is considered not very good-looking in the entertainment industry, graduated from the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Opera.

She is a professional Hua Dan of Mei style.

Zhang Yuan arrived at the right time.

This girl just gave birth to a daughter for Brother Zhuo in the Lighthouse Country last year.

If I had come a few months earlier, I would probably have heard things like "I'm accompanying my wife to give birth and have no time to act."

"Why does Zhao Wenzhuo seem to be so impolite?"

After waiting for a long time, when his wife couldn't hold it in any longer and went to look for someone, Cheng Hao whispered something to Zhang Yuan.

"An expert."

"It's normal to have a bit of personality."

"Besides, we're asking for help, so we should show some attitude."

Chen Jiashang nodded slightly.

I didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be so polite.

He is proud of his superiors but does not bully his subordinates. He is a good person.

"Hello there!"

Not long after, Zhao Wen, who was not very tall but looked strong and imposing, came in from outside, wiping his sweat with a towel beside the table.

He can use the Great Power Dragon and the Snow Drinking Crazy Blade, so it is normal that he has such a strong aura.

"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." Zhang Yuan stood up and shook hands with the other party.

Just by pinching and feeling the other person's tendons and the calluses on his hands, you can tell that this person is extraordinary.

"I've heard a lot about you from my colleagues." Brother Zhuo was quite direct.

After greeting Chen Jiashang and Cheng Hao, they sat down.

"Brother Zhuo, I have already roughly explained the situation over the phone."

"I am the second male lead in the drama Painted Skin and a mentor on a CCTV program."

"I watched that show. You guys are all using gimmicks. There's nothing real about it," the man said bluntly.

"For some young people, it's not easy to learn the tricks."

"And it's a talent show, but it's just a kung fu shell."

Zhang Yuan gave a brief explanation.

It didn't say anything deeper like the country needs propaganda.

"Oh, I see." Zhao Wenzhuo nodded.

From his reaction, we can tell that although he speaks bluntly, he probably has no ill intentions.

I just really don't understand.

Just like Liu Qianqian said in front of Brother Zhang Fei that she had never watched his show.

It's like saying in front of Liang Yusheng that you have never read his novels.

I like to tell the truth, which makes me happy but others suffer.

He has experience dealing with people like this.

Be straightforward, ask fewer questions, and don't be too cunning.

"Director Chen and the CCTV director will discuss the specific matters with you in detail."

"You just need to arrange the time."

"So, he's the second male lead, right?" Zhao Wenzhuo looked at him after hearing this.

"A supporting role for you?"

The man asked Zhang Yuan with his eyes squinted.

He showed the same look as Nine-Gates Admiral Ordo.

It seemed like the filming of this drama had ruined him and he became ill. After that, he would look at people with squinted eyes and glance downward with his head tilted up, as if he was about to attack at the next second.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan also spoke frankly.

What are you going around in?

I'm just looking for a supporting role for myself.

How?
The last person who refused to obey is already at home with his wife.

"I debuted earlier than you and played more leading roles than you."

"I find it a little hard to accept playing a supporting role for you." Zhao Wenzhuo was very frank.

At this time, he is the leading actor in the TV drama industry and does not play supporting roles.

"Brother Zhao, you can propose any conditions you want." Zhang Yuan still thinks highly of him.

Although Pang Yong's role has been reduced, the actor cannot be too weak.

Otherwise, he would be too different from his Wang Sheng, which would cause an imbalance in the character image in the film.

Pang Yong is used to set off Wang Sheng.

"As for the conditions..." Zhao Wenzhuo stood up and clasped his hands together.

“I tend to be more direct.”

"I've only heard of it, but I don't know your level."

"Let's make friends through martial arts, let's have a sparring match in the backyard."

"Let me see what kind of young man many of my friends are praising!" (End of this chapter)
