Actor: Thank you.

Some people look slim from a distance, but are malnourished when viewed up close.

Some things may bring great benefits now, but may cause long-term harm.

For example, the beacon country uses globalization to carry out industrial transfer and financial policies.

In the short term, the manufacturing industry cannot make money as quickly as the financial industry.

The masters in our beacon country are the masters. All they do is eat and play. Who would do hard labor for them?
But the long-term result is that it not only caused serious industrial hollowing out in the country, but also made Jingmei sigh.

"How did the once heavenly kingdom on earth become like this?"

It also planted an unprecedented financial bomb for all mankind.

Could those Wall Street tycoons and Capitol Hill bosses who have reaped the benefits of industrial transfer and financial tides have foreseen the current situation?

Maybe they think they will win and keep winning.

After all, looking at it from the perspective of forty or fifty years ago, there was no reason to lose!
Time will give the answer.

But the thinking and vision of most people are limited.

What limits all this is not only time but also interests.

When Zhang Yuan mentioned the work "Shinjuku Incident", Han Sanpin and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other in surprise.

The sincerity you are talking about is a play?

Hehehe... Zhang Yuan laughed secretly in his heart.

Today, we must accomplish our goal in one fell swoop!
"What?" Han Sanpin narrowed his triangular eyes and frowned his sparse eyebrows.

"Shinjuku is a district in the island country of Tokyo."

"This movie tells a story that takes place in this area."

"Island country?" Old Han opened his mouth and said, "Foreign movies."

"It's not a foreign film, it's a domestic one." Zhang Yuan smiled gently: "It can be considered a Hong Kong film."

"Oh..." Wang Zhonglei, who was thinking about something at this time, suddenly reacted and said to Lao Han.

"Didn't you see the news a few days ago?"

"Chen Long went to an island country."

Look at how petty you are... Zhang Yuan thought to himself that with such a narrow mind, you almost created a company with a market value of 100 billion yuan.

It is true that as long as the connections are in place and the wind is blowing, even a pig can take off.

It was clearly news about me, but when it was spoken, it was directed directly at Lao Han.

"Yes, Chen Long, Fan Bingbing and I went to the island country of Tokyo."

When mentioning Fan Bingbing, Xiao Wang's face also turned cold.

The two "traitors" got together.

Before the company's IPO process began, Fan Bingbing chose not to renew his contract and set up his own business.

It would be fine if you set up your own business, but not only did you not cooperate with Huayi, you also let this kid take a share of the business!
There is no harm without comparison.

Xiao Wang felt a little sad.

Why do you cooperate with him and not with us?

And why would the people we trained at Huayi betray us?
"Mr. Han, Mr. Wang." Zhang Yuan ignored the man's temper and continued speaking.

"Brother Chen Long invited me to participate in this Shinjuku Incident."

"The director is Derek Yee."

"Director Er spent nearly 10 years polishing the script of this play, and he put a lot of effort into it."

"Brother Chen Long felt that the cooperation with me in the past was quite pleasant and he was promoting me, so he wanted me to act with him."

“That’s why I was invited to go on a field trip.”

“It was a good chat.”

"As for me, I personally think this play is good."

Everything Zhang Yuan said was true, not a single word was false.

There is no problem with the quality of the drama "Shinjuku Incident" itself.

So not only was his attitude sincere, but what he said was also completely true.

However, the two people opposite still didn't understand what he wanted to do.

The best scam in the world is that 100 out of 99 sentences are true.

But these 99 truths were just a cover for the last lie.

"Whether you think it's good is your business. What does it have to do with us?" Wang Zhonglei still replied listlessly.

"Brother Chenlong helped me, especially when I was trying to enter the overseas market, he helped me a lot."

"Logically speaking, if he asked me to act in a play, I should go."

"But a few days ago, Director Gao Qunshu also found me."

"He said he had a project on hand and hoped I could participate."

"I heard it's Huayi's project, right, Mr. Wang?"

"Ha." Xiao Wang sneered.

"When doing things, we must follow the principle of first come first served." Zhang Yuan continued.

Xiao Wang snorted again.

I felt that he was mocking the fact that Yao Cheng went to his place first but was pulled away by Hua Yi halfway.

When people feel guilty, they will adopt an aggressive attitude, which is a self-protection reaction.

Han Sanpin glanced at him sideways, and Wang Zhonglei restrained himself a little and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan thought that if I hadn't taken care of Old Han's daughter, he might not have sat in the middle today.

"Brother Chenlong wanted to find me, and Director Gao came later."

"Logically, I should go to Brother Chenlong's crew, right?"

"Xiao Zhang, what you said makes sense." Old Han hugged his shoulders and nodded.

Basic rules still have to be followed. This kid is right about this.

"But now that I'm here to apologize, I have to be sincere."

"Then I will go say hello to Brother Chen Long."

"I decided to give up the drama "Shinjuku Incident" and come to Huayi to help."

"Hehehe..." Xiao Wang laughed sinisterly: "We have so many masters in Huayi, and we can't even count the famous artists on our hands."

"Miss you?"

"You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me first." Zhang Yuan's expression did not change at all in the face of the other party's ridicule.

Old Han was watching from the side.

Not to mention anything else, Zhong Lei, you are such a grown up, why can't you keep calm like people in their twenties?

"Like you said, I came to Huayi to help with the crew of The Sound of Wind. You don't need me."

"But I still have some popularity and fans, which should be able to help with the promotion and sales of the film."

Xiao Wang didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement.

When it comes to selling tickets, no one in Huayi can compare to him.

The two "future No. 1s", Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, are no match for him.

"Besides that, the heroine of the play 'Shinjuku Incident' is Fan Bingbing."

"The sincerity I want to show is that I can let her let go and give the opportunity to star in Brother Chen Long's new film to the female artist from Huayi."

"Hmm?" Wang Zhonglei didn't raise his head until he said this.

The heroine of Chen Long's new work...

Tsk, this position sounds very tempting.

What is Chen Long’s situation now?
Before the next generation of artists and the Chinese film industry ecosystem grow up.

That is to say, before Xu Zheng, Shen Teng, and Wu Jing became fully mature, Chen Long was the best ticket seller among all Chinese in the world, both at home and abroad!
Among the top ten box office rankings every year, there must be a movie starring him!
In 01, "The Secret Service" had a box office of 4000 million, ranking second among domestic films of the year.

Just a few million less than The Big Shot.

However, the copyright fees of "The Spy" in overseas markets crushed Director Feng's.

In 02, there was no Chen Long on the mainland list.

But Uncle Long's "Rush Hour 2" and "The Tuxedo" earned nearly 4 million US dollars in overseas box office.

In 03 and 04, "New Police Story" and "Around the World in Days" raked in hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.

In 05, "The Myth" earned million in the Chinese-speaking regions.

In 06, "Baby Project" grossed over million yuan.

Next up is The Forbidden Kingdom, a collaboration with Hua Yi.

Xiao Wang knows it even more clearly, 1.5 million US dollars worldwide.

Although it was not as expected and a lot of money was divided between Chen Long and Li Lianjie, it was still a profit after taking into account the CDs and copyrights.

It’s just the film that makes money, not necessarily Huayi’s.

Speaking of Chen Long, in the 90s and early 10s, he had great military achievements and no one could match him.

It’s almost a guarantee of box office success.

When it comes to praising people, Chen Long is even more powerful.

"Rush Hour 2" opened up the Hollywood market for Zhang Ziyi and made her an international star.

"New Police Story" made A-Zu become A-Zu.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" successfully attracted the attention of foreign companies to Liu Xixi, which of course made Huayi very unhappy.

If you follow Chen Long, even if you can't become famous, at least you can become familiar to others.

Because Chen Long's movies are among the few all-age films that the whole family, from children to the elderly, can sit together and watch.

And they all recognize him, from the oldest to the youngest.

This is also the reason why "Shinjuku Incident" failed. Chen Long deliberately jumped out of his comfort zone.

But human cognition and vision are limited.

Zhang Yuan knew that this play was not good, but Xiao Wang didn’t know!

Not to mention Xiao Wang, even Old Han didn't notice anything wrong.

"Are you sure... you can do it." Wang Zhonglei looked doubtful, but his tone no longer contained the previous sarcasm.

"Let Bingbing withdraw?"

"Okay, I'll keep my word." Zhang Yuan promised, "I'll make this promise in front of President Han today."

"If I can't do it, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Tempting!
This condition is indeed sincere and tempting!
Han Sanpin had a smile on his face.

Look, this kid still knows how to behave.

I said I would be sincere, and this sincerity is enough.

"Boss Wang, there is actually no conflict between us."

"The problem lies with this woman Yao Cheng."

"Isn't it all her fault?" Zhang Yuan pretended to be angry. "Without her, we wouldn't have come to this point."

Xiao Wang said nothing.

No objection, that means I partially agree.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, Yao Cheng is not that great.

Why is he like Mr. Abe from the island country, who lay down after being sprayed twice?

This is just the beginning.

"But no matter if it's her fault or not, since I'm here, I promised to reconcile with you."

"Then I will let go of my prejudices."

"First of all, let me put this on hold. This is the end of Yao Cheng's matter."

"As long as she's on your side, I'll never do anything else."

Han Sanpin nodded. This is the main topic, but...

He heard the key point in Zhang Yuan’s words, “On your side.”

What I mean is that if Yao Cheng had left Huayi that day, it might not have been the case.

It’s so cruel. Once it bites, it won’t let go.

"Well, now it's your honor. I'll let go of what happened between her and me."

"Not only will I let it go, I will also recommend her to Brother Chen Long to replace Fan Bingbing. What do you think?"

Xiao Wang sat up straight, interesting!
The problem lies with Yao Cheng.

Now he not only set up the table to apologize, but also arranged a good job for Yao Cheng.

In this way, not only is the matter settled, but Huayi's face is also restored.

As soon as I said this, everyone else saw that Zhang Yuan had lowered his head and was completely convinced.

"Hey, this is how to do things." Old Han responded.

Can be picked up and put down.

This guy is very cruel when he plays a prank on others, and he is also very decisive when he apologizes. He is quite genuine.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuan said this, raising his glass.

"Okay." Xiao Wang hesitated, smiled, and raised his glass.

And he smiled for the first time today.

"Then it's a deal. I'll come to help with Huayi's new project."

"I'll help contact Yao Cheng."

"Hahaha, beautiful, it would have been better if you had done this earlier." Wang Zhonglei was much happier.

He didn't expect that today would go so smoothly.

I thought Zhang Yuan would just bite the bullet and say some harmless words.

I didn't expect the other person to lie so flat.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the heroine of Chen Long’s new work, it’s a rare opportunity.

"Okay then, that's a deal. This is all my sincerity." Zhang Yuan nodded and then spoke again.

"But there is one more thing I want to consult you about."

"Speak." Xiao Wang's tone was much more relaxed now.

"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors and gossip about Fan Bingbing on the Internet, especially about her and the Hong Kong circle. Have you heard about it?"

When Old Han heard this, he understood and glanced at Xiao Wang.

Doing this again...

"I don't know." Wang Zhonglei pretended to be stupid.

"This rumor is not credible." Old Han held the chopsticks and said while eating: "Bingbing was once yours, you still have to care for her."

"As an old employee, even though the person is gone, the friendship remains."

"Yes..." Xiao Wang knew that Lao Han was calling him out, so he asked the two to take a step back. "I'll go back and ask. If it's a familiar media outlet that's talking nonsense, I'll say hello."

"Thank you for your help." Zhang Yuan toasted again.

After Han Sanpin took a few bites of lobster, he put down his chopsticks and looked at him.

"You are not a romantic guy, are you?"

"I finally understood what you said. Did you take care of Fan Bingbing?"

"So she can make room."

"You are quite capable."

Zhang Yuan did not deny it.

It's okay to let them think that I did this for women.

The next step is very simple.

Drink bottle after bottle of liquor and brag about how awesome they are.

I was so happy with the meal that I ordered two more dishes.

Xiao Wang, who was drunk, hooked his arm around his shoulder and said that he wanted to cooperate more and that he was very confident in himself.

It feels like going back many years.

Of course, these are just polite words and don't count.

He didn't believe it, not even Wang Zhonglei himself believed it.

But Zhang Yuan doesn't care, as long as there is superficial harmony.

If he wanted to expand, he would inevitably face competition with Huayi and conflicts would be unavoidable.

But his goal has been achieved!
On the surface, he promised to let Yao Cheng go and found her a "good job".

That’s the heroine of Chen Long’s work.

But she is not Fan Bingbing, and with Xu Jinglei around, it is still unknown how many points she can get on the set.

Besides, this job only looks good.

By then, even with Lao Han’s help, the film will most likely not be able to be released.

It's just a waste of time.

But no one knows whether the film can be released.

They can't blame me then.

After the meal, it seemed that he had suffered a great loss.

But in fact, he did make some money.

This attitude today gave Han Sanpin enough face.

Old Han is very polite. After this incident, it will be easier for him to talk in the future.

In fact, according to his original plan, after the incident, he would go to Lao Han to act as a middleman to set up the table.

Unexpectedly, Huayi filed a complaint before him.

Yes.

But at the same time, it also revealed Huayi's weakness.

Now Old Han has saved face.

As for Fan Bingbing, with what Xiao Wang said just now, I think the public opinion will calm down for a while.

I promised her I would take care of it, and that's what I did.

Because the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

I can play in the play "The Sound of Wind" again.

After all, Gao Qunshu is my benefactor. He needs me and specifically asks for me, so I have to show up.

As for Chen Long...

Zhang Yuan called Uncle Long and explained the situation.

"Hua Yi..."

Zhang Yuan talked about the conflict between himself and Hua Yi, and described the situation as one in which he had to "work" for the other party to pay off his debt.

Fan Bingbing has already found an excuse to shirk her role.

Fan Ye is still smart and uses her family as an excuse.

She said her mother saw the news about her going to the island country and being surrounded by a large number of gangsters.

So they were worried about her safety and didn't want her to act in this play.

In the name of family, Uncle Long couldn't refute it.

I also recommended Yao Cheng.

"Yao Cheng...I'm not familiar with her."

"Let's meet her. She has quite a lot of fans because of a TV series."

"And she is also a signed artist of Huayi and is being trained."

"Uncle Long." Zhang Yuan lowered his voice when he said this.

"You must have spent a lot of money on this play."

Because when he went to the island country, Chen Long mentioned that he had a big expense recently.

Zhang Yuan guessed that this expense was the initial investment for "Shinjuku Incident".

The main investor of this drama now is Chen Long himself.

Zhang Yuan remembered that in his previous life, Uncle Long had invested nearly 100 million yuan in total, and later Eagle King was responsible for distribution and also added tens of millions.

The total cost was 1.5 million, and it was all lost.

Uncle Long lost all the money he made from "The Forbidden Kingdom" and even lost a lot of money himself.

"Yes, filming overseas is very expensive." Chen Long did not hide it from him and told him the truth.

"Then if you use Huayi's people, you can discuss investment with Huayi."

"Let the actors bring in money, and you will have less pressure."

Based on Chen Long’s previous box office performance, Hua Yi would definitely be willing to invest.

If you don't think highly of Chen Long, you wouldn't have invested in "The Forbidden Kingdom".

"Yeah, I'll consider it." Chen Long accepted his suggestion.

Zhang Yuan put down his phone and snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"In this case, I will accept Director Gao's favor."

"Chen Long has also done me a favor."

“So I asked Huayi to join and help him reduce costs, which, in the end, reduced losses.”

"I have done my best to repay Gao Qunshu and Chen Long, the two people who helped me."

In this way, a world in which only Huayi is hurt is achieved... (End of this chapter)
