Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 854 Meeting at the Arena
Zhang Ziyi is in high spirits recently.

A double harvest in love and career.

This can be judged from the tone of voice in which she responded to Zhang Yuan after answering his call.

"Hey, it's rare that your boss Zhang would call me."

"I've been busy lately..." Zhang Yuan laughed.

"We are old acquaintances. We haven't had dinner together for a long time."

"Let's make an appointment some time."

"Okay, but I have to ask clearly before making an appointment." Zhang Ziyi asked playfully.

"Is it a normal dinner date, or a dinner date like you and my classmates?"

Zhang Yuan: …

Please, stop bringing me up as a topic at parties...

"I always eat seriously, I always pass by seriously."

"Hahaha, okay, you set the time."

I made an appointment with her to chat with international celebrity Zhang in the capital before going to other places for promotion.

Booked a rather expensive restaurant.

He also took the bottle of expensive red wine that he had put on Jiang Zhiqiang's bill when he left the restaurant with him half a year ago.

Make the best use of things. After all, we are doing things for you and using your money to buy them is quite reasonable.

"Oh, are we just the two of us eating here?" International Zhang arrived and found that only Zhang Yuan was waiting for him in the private room.

She usually dresses casually and doesn't wear makeup.

It doesn't look pretty, but the head is quite small.

In addition, her facial features are more three-dimensional, so she looks quite photogenic.

Actually, my appearance is just so-so.

"I'm inviting you to dinner. Since there are no outsiders here, I'd like you to help entertain us." Zhang Yuan ordered a full table and poured her wine personally.

He could see that the other person's brows were full of energy and he was obviously in a good mood.

Eat and chat.

Seeing Zhang Yuan being so polite, Zhang Ziyi drank a lot.

Only when two blushes appeared on her cheeks did Zhang Yuan start talking about business.

"I heard you've been busy lately?"

"Yes, I have traveled to many places, both at home and abroad, to raise funds for the disaster areas." She said with pride.

"Come to think of it, we are quite similar. You are also quite popular when it comes to donations."

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, don’t humiliate me, I really paid the money, and it was my own money.

He is so shameless and brags without blinking an eye.

"That's right, doing charity is a good thing, it will accumulate blessings and increase your life." Zhang Yuan said casually.

"I also heard that you have been getting close to a lot of domestic and foreign investors recently."

"Haha, you are well-informed." Hearing him say that, Zhang Ziyi did not hide her pride at all.

"Why, do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

"It's not impossible. After all, we are friends."

"But there is a saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly."

“Resources are introduced and shared with each other.”

Zhang Yuan understood what the other party meant, but felt that the other party might have misunderstood his intention.

She thought she was here to establish a relationship with her...

You are crazy and a little too proud of yourself.

She now has foreign capital in one hand and domestic resources in the other.

She thought that the two major groups were serving her alone.

In fact, she was the only one serving two large groups...

Why don't you learn from your mistakes?

Back then, the second young master of the Huo family didn't take you seriously.

Both of them are looking for celebrities to date, but Guo Jingjing is about to marry the rich young master, while you have been kicked out for several years.

People treat you as a pet, but you can't treat yourself as the owner.

"Sister Zhang, it's only right to introduce resources to each other."

"Not to mention there is a problem, even if there is nothing wrong, as friends we should support each other." Zhang Yuan still said gently.

"I told the truth. I came here today because someone asked me to do so."

"Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang asked me to find out about Tang Wei."

"I heard that you are familiar with the host family of the last event she attended."

Zhang Yuanke didn't mention her gossiping at all and pretended not to know.

Actually, someone let the secret of Tang Wei's matter slip later.

He is the famous second generation in the imperial circle, Lu Chuan let the cat out of the bag.

If you let it slip, then you let it slip. Why are you going around clarifying it?

In his previous life, after Tang Wei was "banned", he went abroad to study for two years.

When she made her comeback, it was just after Zhang Ziyi’s “ink-throwing incident”.

When Zhang Ziyi heard this, she didn't look cold at all. Instead, she took a sip of wine with a smile.

"What happened?"

"I do not know how."

Zhang Yuan remained calm and played along with her, pretending that she really didn't know, and told her the whole thing in detail.

"How can it still be blocked?"

“Isn’t it quite red?”

"Who knows? We are all walking on thin ice in this line of work." Zhang Yuan looked into his eyes and said word by word.

"You may be a superstar today, but you may be a stink tomorrow."

"Tang Wei is the same. When doing things, one must be prepared for danger in times of peace and assess the situation."

"She was popular for too short a time. She doesn't know that people can't enjoy the upper hand all their lives."

The corners of Zhang Ziyi's mouth twitched, and she thought that this was not about Tang Wei, but about me.

"But you've always been enjoying the upper hand."

"I'm lucky." Zhang Yuan waved his hand: "Plus, I understand a truth."

"Leave a thin line in your behavior so that we can meet again in the future."

"So why don't you help us contact them and pass on a message."

"See what conditions are required."

"Boss Jiang is quite generous."

"I just know him, we don't have any personal relationship." Zhang Yimou replied immediately.

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He didn't even listen to the conditions and obviously had no intention of reconciliation.

Now that she is with someone rich and powerful, she doesn't even look down on Jiang Zhiqiang.

When the weather is crazy, it will rain; when people are crazy, there will be disasters.

Her attitude was actually within Zhang Yuan's expectations.

Anyway, he was just entrusted by someone, so it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not. He just needs to give an explanation to Boss Jiang.

But Zhang Yuan still decided to ask one more question.

This sentence is for myself and also for the international chapter.

"Then if Tang Wei is mine and I sign her, can you help me?"

"I owe you this once. You can always pay me back in the future."

Tch... Zhang Ziyi sneered in her heart.

You are a small fry, why are you acting like a big shot?

I won't even give Boss Jiang my face, how much are you worth?

"Well, let's just have a good meal and not talk about these things." Although she didn't answer, her attitude was very clear.

Zhang Yuan nodded, then I understand.

If you don't give me any face today, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless in the future.

I gave you a chance to choose a way out, but you didn't want it.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi is already on the decline.

The B-movie "The Rider" in which she starred has not been released in North America yet.

She has nude scenes and masochistic scenes in the film, which is quite bold.

However, after Lionsgate screened the film internally, the response was not very good and it underwent several large-scale reshoots.

As a result, the response after the premiere was not good and the release date was postponed again and again.

If even this B-movie fails, her Hollywood career will be completely over.

If the top production is not good enough, it will be relegated to a B-level movie.

If B-level movies don't work, are we going to make small movies?
There is no way to go.

But it was during this low period that he got in touch with Wendi Deng.

Wendi Deng is also a top-notch ruthless person.

Because of the rules of the Murdoch family, the family property cannot be divided without children.

So this sister got the seeds that Old Motou saved when he was young, and gave birth to a daughter through in vitro fertilization.

But this is not safe, what if it dies prematurely.

So we did it again the next year and had another child.

But who is Lao Motou?

Whether you give birth or not, the child will be an heir, but you as a mother will still be a white-collar worker and you must be on guard against it.

What the children can inherit is only a small portion of the shares that receive dividends, and they have no voting rights.

So Sister Deng wanted to quickly borrow her husband's resources to start her own business.

If you don't use it anymore, it will expire. So after meeting Zhang, he made several promises to her.

They are preparing for Sino-US co-production and supporting her transformation into a producer.

This made Zhang Ziyi proud.

The meal didn't end in a bad mood, it was quite decent.

"If there is a chance for cooperation in the future, I will introduce people to you." After sending his sister home, this man patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder happily before getting off the car.

"Then I have to thank you in advance. You'll have to take care of me." Zhang Yuan also put on a show.

"Go to hell..." He turned his head and muttered, "Take care of yourself first."

Replied to Jiang Zhiqiang.

Boss Jiang thanked him repeatedly and had nothing to complain about.

"Take a break, it's just time to calm down."

"It's not against the law, and it will eventually pass."

"We'll figure out a solution after the storm has passed."

After all, there is no sunny day all day long, and dark clouds cannot cover the sky.

In the following days, he traveled to major cities in China with the "Forbidden Kingdom" crew to promote the film.

A week later, he moved to Hollywood.

Although the box office of "Rush Hour 3" was not as good as the second part, Chen Long's popularity was not affected at all.

After his appearance, there was still thunderous cheers and applause.

Li Lianjie is not bad either, after all, he is the man known as the "North American CD King".

"Black Mask" earned nearly 4000 million US dollars from the disc alone.

"Ranger" almost broke 8000 million!
"Romeo Must Die" and "Kiss of the Dragon" earned over 100 million yuan in profits just from CD rentals and sales!

So Li Lianjie thinks it's easy to make money in Hollywood.

China almost skipped the CD era and went directly into the Internet platform era, so Li Lianjie did not reap the benefits of the domestic market.

Just talking about the CD market, Li Lianjie is even more awesome than Chen Long.

It's no surprise that these two are popular.

But because of the wonderful fighting scenes in "Rush Hour 3", Zhang Yuan also has many overseas fans.

This made Liu Qianqian, who was standing by, very envious.

Her appearance is actually not very popular overseas.

White people like Asian women with angular features, high cheekbones, small eyes and tan skin.

She had an oval face and fair skin, so white people had no interest in her.

"You're quite popular." After the press conference, she smiled and rubbed against him.

"That's right. I am quite popular too."

"There are only a few activities left. Why don't we spend a few days in the Lighthouse Country?" Zhang Yuan suggested.

"You have time!"

"That's great!" Xiaolongnu was naturally happy to hear that there was something to play with.

"I want to go to the amusement park."

"I still want to jerk off!"

Zhang Yuan: …

Talk about it later.

I'll give you a chance later.

"Don't be in a hurry to play with guns. Let me take you to play something more exciting first."

"What's exciting?"

"Don't you want to buy a sports car? I'll take you to play with the car."

Taking advantage of a break in the promotion in California, Zhang Yuan took her to a nearby racing track.

"Wow!"

Liu Qianqian was wearing a helmet, fastened with a three-point safety belt, holding onto the roll cage with her hands, and screaming in the car.

The smell of dust, rubber, and gasoline.

After one lap, the vehicle was parked steadily in the maintenance area.

After Liu Qianqian got off the car, she walked unsteadily, as if her legs were borrowed.

"Is it fun?"

"Fun!" she shouted, raising her arms.

Although she looks gentle, she actually has a wild side.

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing by, shook her head and walked forward to check on the two people.

"Let me drink some water first, I'll open it later."

"No hurry, just practice a few laps with the coach first."

"Anyway, I've rented the place, you can use it as you like, no one will compete with you for it."

"You're spending too much." Aunt Liu complained, "It costs a lot to rent for a day."

"Not just one day, I rented it for a week."

Liu Xiaoli: Is that why you invest so much?

He took a look at his girl's energetic look and felt that she was completely controlled.

In fact, there are many private racing tracks in foreign countries, and the rental fees are not as expensive as you might think.

And Zhang Yuan didn't spend a lot of money just to make girls happy.

"relax for a moment."

"It's better to drive in a professional venue with professional guidance than to drive randomly on the street."

"Why do you think so of me? I obey traffic regulations, okay?" Xiaolongnu finished drinking the water and put on her helmet again, her face full of excitement.

"Aunt Liu, do you want to play?"

Liu Xiaoli's head shook like a wave drum.

You young people are so impatient. I can't stand it.

"Brother Zhang Yuan..." At this time, the assistant handed over the phone.

"You guys play first, I have something to do, I'll come over later."

After saying hello, we arrived at the gate of the racetrack.

At this time, a pure black Cadillac Escalade had just stopped.

Americans love to use this kind of full-size SUV, the same model as the FBI.

"Zhang, why did you ask me to meet you in a place like this?"

The car door opened and an old fat white man jumped out.

Harvey asked in confusion as he placed his palm on his brow to block out the sun.

"Do you like playing with cars?"

"COME ON, can't we change to a more elegant environment?"

"This place just fits the topic of what I want to talk to you about."

Lead him to sit in the audience.

On the track, a modified Mazda RX7 was running crookedly, occasionally running out of the roadside and digging several deep ruts in the sand.

You need to practice, your level is really not that good.

According to the popular saying of that year, Liu Xixi belonged to the bookworm group, who had hardly driven after passing the driving test.

That's it.

You would have died long ago if you drove a GTR.

"Tell me what you want from me. I have several beauties waiting to date."

As he said this, the old bitch Harvey started twisting his body with a slutty smile.

"Ok!"

"There are beauties here, too."

Following his gaze, I found that the old pervert was staring at Liu Xiaoli, who was wearing a floral dress not far away.

Zhang Yuan: …

You want to be my godfather?

Too much!
Get down to business and divert his attention.

"I asked you to come here this time because I want you to introduce me to someone from Universal Pictures," he said straight to the point.

"Universal?" Harvey turned his head.

He thought that this guy came to him to collect debts.

Harvey is still the same, even though the contract for "Ip Man" has been signed.

But in reality, he only paid a deposit of 100 million US dollars.

Originally he only wanted to offer 10 US dollars, and it was Zhang Yuan who managed to negotiate this price with great difficulty.

The remaining 200 million will be paid in batches after the filming starts and is completed.

"Yes, it's Universal Pictures, one of the eight major Hollywood studios."

"I heard they have a movie series and they're going to make a sequel."

"I'm very interested." Zhang Yuan said, and waved to Liu Qianqian in the car.

In the blink of an eye, she drove the car off the track again.

"What kind of movies interest you?" Harvey's biggest headache is that Zhang Yuan is different from ordinary Chinese film and television people.

I can't figure out his behavior.

"Ah." Zhang Yuan took out his cell phone and found a movie poster in the album.

"This is it."

Harvey took a look and saw several familiar faces of men and women on the poster.

He knew these men and women, but they were not the protagonists of the posters.

Right in the middle of the picture is the Toyota Supra.

"What you're interested in is..." Harvey squinted his eyes and then turned his head: "Fast and Furious..."
