Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 104 Soldiers Assault
The box office curve of "A World Without Thieves" is pretty good.

However, this does not allow Feng Xiaogang to show his arrogant and proud front teeth in front of the media as he did in previous years.

It turns out that there was nothing wrong with Feng Xiaogang's nervousness and worries!

On December 12, two weeks after the premiere of "A World Without Thieves", "Kung Fu" makes its debut!
The box office exceeded 1000 million on the premiere day!
From the evening of the 24th to the early morning of the 25th, the box office exceeded 2000 million!
Not only is it making great strides in mainland China, but its performance in its Hong Kong base is even more explosive!
The box office on the first day reached 400 million, the cumulative box office after two days of release reached more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the cumulative box office after three consecutive days reached more than 1500 million Hong Kong dollars!

What was the last movie that caused a huge sensation?

Oh yes, Zhang Yimou’s “Hero”!
Compared to the mixed reviews of Zhang Yimou's film, audiences generally gave "Kung Fu" a very high rating.

Under the strong competition from "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves" inevitably saw a sharp decline in both its screening schedule and attendance rate!

"Although Zhou Xingchi is a person who is not very likable, especially in terms of being stingy."

"But we have to admit that his ability and talent can indeed be regarded as a monumental representative of the Chinese film industry!"

"Besides, the greater good is not at fault, but the smaller details are at risk. From a certain perspective, it's not a big deal at all."

"So Feng Xiaogang's loss was in vain and cannot be made up!"

Zhen Jiecheng hugged Cheng Hao, who had returned to Beijing two days ago, and rubbed and twisted him, saying with emotion,

"I wrote, directed and acted in it myself!"

"It's easier said than done! Especially if you want to do it well, the difficulty is definitely not as simple as 1+1+1!"

"The first two are easy to deal with, but the latter is the real hurdle."

"What about Zhou Xingchi? Not only does he act, but in his works, the protagonist he plays is always the soul of the entire film."

“This is really awesome!”

Anyone who has a deep understanding of the director's work knows that

The director's thinking is based on a "God's perspective". What about the actors? They need to put their minds into the specific plot and lines.

The two are separate and have nothing in common!

Therefore, most of the so-called self-written, self-directed and self-acted works are just hype, self-promotion and persona creation.

For example, Xu Jinglei.

As for the serious self-written, self-directed and self-acted works, most of them are just barely completed.

For example, the future Xu Zheng.

Not only does one have to act well, one also has to direct well, and the final work must be full of a strong personal style.

If we count the Chinese directors, there are only a few of them.

The two most representative ones are Zhou Xingchi and Jiang Wen!
What? Why not Jie Lun? He also wrote, directed and acted in his own film?
Emmm, it’s Jie Lun, he writes good music, his singing is also OK, oh and he’s really good at playing basketball!
Being able to have one person hold the ball while nine others are nervous, isn’t that amazing enough?

"What about you? Do you want to try it sometime?"

Zhen Jiecheng was busy kneading the dough, and Cheng Hao was not idle either.

Only when you hold it in your hand will you feel at ease, right?
"Me? Forget it! I don't want to!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head. "It's okay to play a supporting role occasionally, but not the main role!"

"Not everyone can learn to fight with both hands."

"Besides, I just want to scold others, not myself."

Having said that, he patted Cheng Hao's butt.

No need to speak, tacit understanding arises instantly.

Looking at Cheng Hao getting up and preparing to sit down, Zhen Jiecheng held his head with his hands, squinted his eyes, and lay comfortably on the bed.

Well, it's not fart, no need to make a fuss.

Now it's time to put on the small motor and start it turning.

Oh, that's right! That's it!
In my mind, a video of beautiful women dancing in a parking lot that went viral on the short video platform in my previous life emerged.

The BGM of this video also sounded in my ears.

"Crack."

Zhen Jiecheng beat the rhythm, and for a moment he felt that this rubbish BGM became quite interesting.

Sure enough, art is not divided into elegant and vulgar!
What this world lacks is people like me who are good at discovering art!

Now that Sister Cheng is back, Jiecheng is too poor.

Sister Cheng is back, and Qingtian is here.

However, I didn't expect that the private sea is not as clean as the farmland, and the thick cover can still strangle me!
"Oh~ What a sin!"

Humans always reflect on things afterwards, and Zhen Jiecheng is no exception.

When in the sage state, one can’t help but feel compassion.

I feel ashamed and full of guilt.

"Bah! You can just not wear it!"

"I didn't force you to wear it!"

Cheng Hao spat, took the body bag from Zhen Jiecheng's hand, and tied it up skillfully.

"How about I get a needle and prick the hole now, then squeeze it in?"

Yan Jiecheng:
You bitch, you are becoming more and more outspoken!
You simply deserve a beating. Emmm, forget it! I am a big man with a broad mind. I am too lazy to argue with you, so I will give you another chance.

Wait until tomorrow. If you still don’t correct your behavior, it won’t be too late to whip you.

Cheng Hao was in charge of the entire process of upgrading Jiecheng Studio to Jiecheng Film and Television Group, and Zhen Jiecheng only needed to be responsible for signing.

During this period, Lan Xiaolong brought Zhang Yi to visit first, and then Duan Long also agreed on a time with Cheng Hao to prepare for the signing.

The Chinese Academy of Drama is really full of talented people!

Looking at Duan Long, or Duan Yihong, Zhen Jiecheng sighed.

This is different from Beijing Film Academy.

It is better to become famous as early as possible at Beijing Film Academy. If you are not famous when you are young, it will be difficult to become famous again later.

This is not the case at the Central Academy of Drama. Some students were unknown while in school and remain unknown even a few years after graduation.

But when the opportunity comes, you will be able to soar into the sky with your accumulated strength.

Duan Yihong is one of them!

"Hello Yihong!" Zhen Jiecheng took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello, Director Zhen!" Duan Yihong shook it quickly.

"Yihong, there's something I've always been curious about, and I want to ask you. If you can tell me, please satisfy my curiosity. If you can't, forget it."

"Director Zhen, please ask."

"It's Hao Lei."

"Zhen Jiecheng!" Cheng Haojiao shouted, interrupting Zhen Jiecheng's words, then turned to look at Duan Yihong.

"Senior, don't pay attention to him!"

"Here, this is the contract. You can read it first, then take it back to a professional lawyer to review the clauses, and then we can sign the contract!"

"It's okay, you don't have to take it back! I can sign it now." Duan Yihong smiled and waved his hands, "I've already gotten so far, what else can you cheat me of?"

"You are doing well! Senior, be more confident, you are not that bad!" Cheng Hao comforted.

No, not strictly speaking.

After all, Duan Yihong has produced many works in recent years, mainly in the field of drama.

But when it comes to the entertainment industry, Duan Yihong is indeed far inferior to many of his classmates, especially Xu Zheng, who had a crush on Little Dragon Girl for many years, and who became famous for playing Zhu Bajie and successfully won the heart of Little Dragon Girl because of the love he fell in love with on the set.

Huh, wait!

Xu Zheng also plans to sign a contract
Fuck you!

In addition, Deng Chao would come to visit from time to time, and it was almost written on his forehead that he wanted to change jobs immediately after the contract ended. And Duan Yihong was suspected of witnessing his ex-girlfriend's fur at the scene!

This. Interesting!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cheng Hao is right, be more confident!" Zhen Jiecheng agreed.
"A person who has practiced the action of drawing a gun thousands of times in order to play the role of a killer in a TV series, even though he is just a supporting role, should not be so unconfident!"

"Although the entertainment industry pursues sensual pleasures, it will not ignore a professional actor with profound inner strength."

As he spoke, he took out the script of the renamed "Soldier Assault" from his desk.

"After signing the contract, take the script back with you. It would be best if you also watch the video of the play carefully."

"Don't worry, Director Zhen, I've already seen it!" Duan Yihong said.

Although I wasn't particularly touched by Zhen Jiecheng's praise, I felt warm inside.

As a great director, he can remember his efforts in the TV series "The True Colors of a Criminal", which shows his sincerity and attention.

"Oh? Have you seen it? Then tell me what you think?"

"I want to play the role of squad leader Shi Jin! I promise I can do it well!" Duan Yihong was extremely confident when talking about his job!
"Ah?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned, then quickly shook his head, "No, no, no! Don't play Shi Jin! Play Yuan Lang!"

The rumors from the previous life turned out to be true. The actors in "Soldier Assault" each had their own ideas.

For example: Wang Baoqiang was ambitious and refused to act at first.

For example: Chen Sicheng immediately asked for the role of Xu Sanduo when he saw Wang Baoqi refused to act. Not only him, but also Zhang Yi did the same.

Duan Yihong, on the other hand, is particularly fascinated by Shi Jin's role.

"I'm telling you, the role of Yuan Lang must belong to you!"

"This is by no means a disapproval of your ability. On the contrary, I am very optimistic about you!"

"In addition to this TV series, I will have other roles for you in the future."

"screen!"

“Starring!”

"I promise!"

The novel "Sunspots" has not been published yet. Once it is published, Zhen Jiecheng will buy the film and television rights as soon as possible.

Is it enough to just be suspected of seeing the fur of Deng Chao’s ex-girlfriend?
A real man should just watch Deng Chao's feathers!

Zhen Jiecheng firmly believed that Deng Chao, this extremely dull guy, would not mind and might even be eager to try!

After being “busy” contacting the alumni of the Central Academy of Drama who have made good progress, Zhen Jiecheng has to continue to be “busy”.

Senior Sun Li's matchmaking seemed a bit redundant. When Mr. Cai learned that Zhen Jiecheng was interested in cooperating, he wanted to rush to Beijing overnight.

After repeated persuasion from Sun Li, he finally calmed down.

But neither Sun Li nor Cai Yinong expected that Zhen Jiecheng would choose to go to the Magic City on his own initiative.

This sincerity made Cai Yinong very excited.

"Director Zhen! Welcome to the Magic City!"

Sun Li and Cai Yinong were holding hands and waiting at the airport reception area. The moment they saw Zhen Jiecheng, they immediately waved to him.

Sun Li is young and beautiful, and General Cai is in the prime of her life. The two of them, who have similar temperaments and looks, are like a pair of sisters and are particularly eye-catching.

Next to the two of them, the young Hugo was quite reserved.

Zhen Jiecheng was not surprised that Cai Yinong brought Hu Ge, who had not yet graduated. Ever since Hu Ge was promoted to the male lead of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Tangren had intended to train him as his top star.

In fact, as early as the second semester of Hu Ge’s college, after he met and signed a contract with the director of Tang Ren by accident, Tang Ren has never stopped paying attention to him.

First, he got small supporting roles in two movies, then starred in the TV series "Dandelion", and then starred in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

What a treatment! A perfect role model!
"Damn! The Central Academy of Drama is really full of talented people!"

Zhen Jiecheng sighed again, he didn't know how many times he sighed!

Yes, that’s right, Hu Ge is also related to the Central Academy of Drama.

In 01, Hu Ge originally applied for the Central Academy of Drama, which was the most difficult directing department among the film and television art majors.

Hu Ge's art test results were also very eye-catching. He ranked second, and the first place was a direct admission student!

Logically speaking, Hu Ge would enter the Central Academy of Drama to study step by step and spend four years there.

Unexpectedly, the energetic young man was bored and went to the Shanghai Theatre Academy for art examination just for fun, and he got third place.

This time, Shanghai Theatre Academy couldn’t sit still any longer.

After learning that Hu Ge was determined to enter the Central Academy of Drama,

It's not just "unethical", it's simply unscrupulous!
The secretary of the Party branch of the Performance Department personally took up his hoe to dig out the staff and called Hu Ge to the office.

First, he said: Many excellent directors started out as actors, and directors with acting experience will better understand the needs of actors.

It's not enough to just fool people. You have to give examples to prove it.

The specific example has never been made public, but Zhen Jiecheng strongly suspects that it was that damn Jiang Wen.

Using Jiang Wen from the Central Academy of Drama to persuade Hu Ge to give up the Central Academy of Drama. How shameful!
Not only that, seeing that Hu Ge was fooled, the secretary immediately struck while the iron was hot.

As everyone knows, Hu Ge is a native of Shanghai and a filial son.

After being persuaded by the scribe's emotional and logical advice, Hu Ge came to a profound understanding that staying in Shanghai was his best option so that he could take care of his ailing mother.

So he declined the admission letter from the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama and entered the Acting Department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy with sincerity.

"Hello, Mr. Cai!"

"Senior, I haven't seen you for just a few days, so I won't say hello to you!"

Cheng Hao makes people sages!

Faced with these two sisters, Zhen Jiecheng was completely unmoved.

After shaking hands with the two, he turned his gaze to Hu Ge, and before he could introduce himself or Sun Li and Cai Yinong introduced him, he took the initiative to speak.
"Hello, Hugo!"

"Director Zhen, do you know me?" Hu Ge widened his eyes in surprise.

"I heard Xixi talk about it, and then Xixi showed me some photos from the filming of The Chinese Paladin, so I got to know you!"

Zhen Jiecheng said as he smiled and stretched out his hand.
Seeing this, Hu Ge quickly reached out and held it.

"By the way, Hu Ge, I heard that you applied for the directing major, but due to some unexpected circumstances, you were admitted to the acting department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"You are a senior now, how are you doing? Do you have any thoughts on taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"If you want to study directing, just come to our Beijing Film Academy! What's the difference between Shanghai Theatre Academy and Central Academy of Drama? In the field of directing, Beijing Film Academy is the best in China!"

Hearing this, Hu Ge was dumbfounded.

Just when he was struggling with how to respond, he saw Zhen Jiecheng turn his head and look at Sun Li.

"Senior, remember this, December 04, 12. I, Zhen Jiecheng, will use my real name to poach actors from Shanghai Theatre Academy to promote the reputation of my alma mater."

"Someday in the future, when I need to use this to silence the school leaders, you have to stand up and testify for me!"

Hugo:.
Well, I'm just a tool.
Just as I was thinking, the next second, I was interrupted by the conversation between Zhen Jiecheng and Mr. Cai.

"Boss Cai, I like to speak frankly."

"I'm attracted to Hu Ge! But don't worry, I'm not planning on poaching him. I just have a role that I want Hu Ge to try out."

Since we are going to make "Soldier Assault", of course we have to make this classic even more classic!

Big Black Bull, stay aside. Zhen Jiecheng wants to try letting Hu Ge play Wu Zhe!
　Don't rush to scold me, there will be an explanation later.

Regarding Wu Zhe's role choice.

This chapter has been edited for review, and there's nothing I can do about it.
