Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 119: Going to Hong Kong again, preparing to start filming

During the time when Zhen Jiecheng was "busy", Jiecheng Studio had completed a low-key upgrade under the busy work of Cheng Hao.

"Soldier Assault" is still in preparation. In addition to the fact that director Kang Honglei has something else on hand, a series of issues such as the selection of actors, communication and coordination with the troops need to be resolved.

The "Xu Sanduo" created by Lan Xiaolong is the embodiment of the excellent qualities of grassroots soldiers that he understood and felt when he was assigned to the company.

So even after many actors recommended themselves, including Duan Yihong, Lan Xiaolong and Kang Honglei never agreed.

"Be simple!"

“It looks so ‘rustic’ at first glance!”

"When he grins, his two rows of white front teeth are exposed. He looks silly and foolish, but he has a stubborn streak!"

"None of you can do that!"

Kang Honglei almost carved Wang Baoqi's name on his forehead, but Baoqi declined every time he invited him.

Who doesn’t have some aspirations and ambition?
In particular, Wang Baoqiang won the Best New Actor Award at the Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards as soon as he made his debut in "Blind Shaft", as well as the Best Actor awards at multiple film festivals in France, Thailand and other countries.

Now, the movie "A World Without Thieves" starring him has grossed over 100 million yuan at the box office.

Bao Qiang is pursuing his original ambition when he was young: entering the film and television industry because of Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple".

If I want to star in a Kung Fu movie on the big screen like my idol, why should I waste time on TV dramas?

"Jie Cheng, how about you help me ask?"

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time! A forced melon is not sweet." Zhen Jiecheng shook his head, "Sister! Bao Qiang is a good actor, we can take this opportunity to sign him!"

"He even turned down a role, so what's the point of signing a contract?"

"Haha, that's why I said there's no rush!" Zhen Jiecheng laughed, "Good things are never too late, let's just let the bullets fly for a while!"

Same people but different fates!
Especially compared with another actor in a movie that grossed over 100 million yuan: Huang Shengyi in "Kung Fu".

Even though Bao Qi had more scenes and was more important, Huang Shengyi jumped into the discussion of the new generation of the Four Little Flowers without a single line and only shedding a few tears.

The same treatment applies to the following!

Huang Shengyi has received many acting offers and endorsements, but where is Bao Qian? He is lonely and cold.

After all, the entertainment industry still looks at appearance and background, especially when it comes to newcomers.

Only after Wang Baoqiang has suffered enough cold stares, Zhen Jiecheng’s personal contact with him will have a different effect.

"What about "My Love from the Star"? Who should we choose as the male lead?"

Cheng Hao's question made Zhen Jiecheng very troubled.

Especially since Sister Bingbing is planning to change jobs, Zhen Jiecheng is even more reluctant to give up the big piece of fat meat of the male lead of "Xingyou" easily.

"That's right! You have set up such a big stall, and you have such a strong desire for control. You insist on controlling everything yourself. Isn't this typical of looking for trouble?" Ning Hao interrupted.

"Crazy Stone" has been completed. Ning Hao and Na Jie returned to Beijing with the film. They don't even plan to leave during the New Year and will devote all their energy to post-production.

Looking at Ning Hao's gloating expression, Zhen Jiecheng suddenly became furious.

No, I finally found the exhaust outlet.

"Damn it! It's all your fault!"

"Blame me?" Ning Hao was stunned. "What the hell does it have to do with me?"

"Why not blame you? I wanted to digest it internally, but look at the actors in our company."

"Counting Lei Jiayin who just signed, Wang Baoqiang who is yet to sign, and Huang Bo, they are all ugly!"

"Is Zhang Yi good-looking? Hammer!"

"Xu Zheng is no longer the brilliant Zhu Bajie of the past. He is now almost greasy like a serious Second Senior Brother!"

"After all calculations, the most distinctive one is Duan Yihong, but he is just the tallest among the short ones!"

"It's all your fault. It's because you insisted on signing with the studio and set a bad example."

"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. With a filthy person like you around, how can the feng shui not be unlucky?"

Hearing this, Ning Hao was dumbfounded.

"No, why am I unlucky?"

"I wasn't the only one who signed the contract. My wife signed it too!"

"Why do you only scold me and not my wife?"

As he said this, he turned to look at Xing Aina.

"Wife, Jie Cheng called you a dirty thing!"

"Get lost! You are you, and Sister Na is Sister Na, how can they be the same? Just because we signed Sister Na, Fan Bingbing will also come to our place, and Liu Yifei is also interested!"

"You can tell from a glance that the quality of the two, especially in terms of appearance, is not even on the same level."

"So it's all your fault. You are the root of all evil!"

Ning Hao:.
"Why don't you just debut as an actor too!"

"I'll sign Sun Honglei from the Central Academy of Drama, and add you, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqi. The four of you will form F4 and debut. I'll write the script for the idol drama myself."

Ning Hao:.
"If you think it's not lively enough without enough people, I can go find Wang Shuangbao, who was Bao Qi's partner when he filmed Blind Shaft, and Wang Shuangbao's friend Baduo."

"You six form a boy band, and you will be the center!"

Ning Hao:.
"Emm, I know about boy bands, but what is the C position?"

"C position, center position, center position! You don't think that we are going to the club as a group, so you will take the lead and occupy the C position, right?"

"I didn't, I didn't think so, you're talking nonsense!" Ning Hao looked at Sister Na hurriedly, "Wife, he slandered me, he slandered me!"

Although Xiangchu TV did not urge us to do it, Mr. Cai from Tangren did.

Because Hu Ge was not doing his job every day and was busy wandering around the streets and vegetable markets.

It's nothing more than a change from the previous open and aboveboard transformation to the current transformation while wearing a mask and glasses.

He focused on honing his acting skills, aiming for a supporting role in "Soldier Assault" like a possessed person.

The root cause of this, of course, was that Zhen Jiecheng used his status as a big director to make big promises and fooled Hu Ge at that time.

Seeing that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was becoming a national hit, President Cai became frustrated and anxious, and he didn't treat Sun Li well.

One is the eldest sister, the other is the eldest brother, and both of them are disobedient!

If this continues, how can we set an example for newcomers? How can we lead the sugar people to break through the siege and occupy the high ground in the fiercely competitive market?

Oh, by the way, there is also the prospective number one: Liu Yifei.

It also makes President Cai very anxious!
Mr. Cai already had a premonition that Aunt Liu was not someone that was easy to get along with, and it was very likely that his efforts would be in vain.

As a last resort, we can only make preparations in advance and continue to discover new talents.

Recently, she ran into the crew of "Moon Shadow and Wind Lotus" in Shanghai and unexpectedly saw a face that instantly attracted her attention.

That look, so handsome!

What a great figure!

Like Sun Li, his temperament is extremely similar to mine.

If the three of them stood together, outsiders would definitely mistake them for three real sisters!

Cai Yinong specifically asked around and found out that the girl was from Beijing Dance Academy.

Beijing Dance Academy is great! No wonder they have such a great figure and temperament!

She is only 17 years old and has not graduated yet. Being young is good. The younger she is, the easier it is to teach her. When she is older and has become stereotyped, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.

So, this girl named Liu Shishi, whose stage name was changed to Liu Shishi by the director of "Moon Shadow and Wind Lotus", immediately came into Cai Yinong's sight.

But Cai Yinong was not in a hurry!
Thanks to the lessons of Sun Li and Hu Ge, Cai Yinong developed enough patience and decided to observe carefully.

Send someone to contact them first, without exposing their identity and intentions for the time being.

If nothing unexpected happens, when Liu Shishi, as a non-professional newcomer, has a hard time in the circle, Tangren will extend a helping hand in time.

I believe that by then, Sugar Man will be able to gain an obedient potential newcomer!

Thinking of this, Cai Yinong felt much more comforted, but her tone was still sharp:

"Director Zhen!"

"You are a big director, and you have so many projects coming one after another that you are too busy to handle them all."

"Unlike us sugar people, we are just waiting for the rice to cook and looking forward to the start of filming of "My Love from the Star"."

"You can't keep us waiting! If we wait any longer, Hu Ge might have finished his audition for "Soldier Assault" and gone to the military camp to get tanned!"

Women in menopause are really hard to please, they are weird and seductive.

She seems to be very generous, but why is she so petty? Is it because of padding, squeezing, or supporting her?

"Boss Cai, look, you're anxious again."

"The sugar man is thriving, how could there be no rice to cook?"

"Hugo is focused on improving his abilities, which will benefit him for the rest of his life, not just for the audition of Soldier Assault."

"Don't worry, Mr. Cai! I will make sure to plan the "My Love from the Star" project as soon as possible and start filming as soon as possible."

"Not only "My Love from the Star", but also other cooperation with Tangren, including the big screen. Cheng Hao will contact you comprehensively and discuss many matters in a friendly manner."

Balabala, what a bunch of nonsense.

After finally calming Cai Yinong down temporarily, Zhen Jiecheng became more determined to leave all the company affairs to Cheng Hao.

It’s too much trouble! Too much worry!
I still have to be busy coming up with the right ideas and finding the right opportunities to renew the three-year contract!

Huang Sanshi has been forcing himself to smile recently. I heard that senior sister Sun Li had a few quarrels with him and has moved out. I still have to be busy chatting with her on the phone and QQ to comfort her!
The sisters need themselves, and "Parasite" needs itself.

Ning Hao was talking about learning to play golf, while Xiao Ming was waiting to go to Hong Kong for a meeting.

Busy now!
Look, the Spring Festival is here.

Because of Zhen Jiecheng's fame, his parents didn't even have the face to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Using the excuse that "Zhen Jiecheng is too busy with work", he visited relatives and gave gifts in advance, and then went straight to the capital.

The people arrived on the morning of New Year's Eve, and the car left in the afternoon of New Year's Day.

Zhen Jiecheng didn't even have time to reminisce about the Spring Festival Gala skit "The Big Hammer is Eighty, the Small Hammer is Forty" before the two elders left in style.

"I'm obviously an only child!" Zhen Jiecheng complained while drinking at Ning Hao's house, "But why do I feel like I'm not important at all, and even a little redundant!"

"I gave three million to my mother as a gift! Two million, nine hundred and fifty thousand went to my mother, and fifty thousand went to my father."

"The couple didn't even have to work. At my dad's suggestion, they drove the car I bought for them. I even filled up the gas tank for them, and they went on a road trip!"

"Hehehe! Maybe your parents feel that they are rich now and don't have to care about the fine, so they want to give you a younger brother or sister?" Ning Hao said with a wink.

"Get lost! When my parents gave birth to me, they implemented a policy of late marriage and late childbearing. How could they possibly have a second child when they are so old?"

"Hey, you are just born in a blessed situation and don't know how to appreciate it." Ning Hao first glanced at the kitchen and saw that his wife was still busy. The range hood was also turned on, and the sound was quite loud, which could completely block out the sound from the living room.

Then he said cautiously and softly,
"Isn't it good to be alone? Being alone is so free! You can do whatever you want and do whoever you want, hehehe!"

"What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?" Zhen Jiecheng curled his lips.

"Oh? Can't find anyone?"

"Nonsense! Who doesn't go home for the New Year?"

"Aren't there people from Beijing?" Ning Hao asked puzzledly.

"Damn, don't mention it! I've already called him, he's out of town, he didn't come back to Beijing for the New Year this year."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really miserable!"

"It's okay, but it's not too bad. Anyway, I'm going to Hong Kong soon!"

"Hmm! You're leaving so early?" Ning Hao was stunned for a second, and then he quickly reminded him, "Brother! I call you brother!"

"Brother, don't forget what you promised me!"

"I've been busy with art every day and haven't exercised for a long time. My health is getting worse and worse."

"I'm waiting for you to introduce me to some professional coaches in Hong Kong so I can learn and practice some sports!"

"Brother, I have a good appetite and I'm not picky."

"As long as the project is OK, it's fine!"

"As long as the project is OK, it's fine!"

"Don't worry about the rest. Just take it if it's given to you."

"In the future, Brother Chen Long and I will have plenty of opportunities to cooperate. He will only make money and not lose money. Not only in terms of economic benefits, but also in terms of human relationships."

"Anyway, I don't need these favors, especially when it comes to Hong Kong's resources, so just go ahead and take over!"

After feeling refreshed, Zhen Jiecheng still couldn't calm down. He kept talking to Li Zi while folding his hands.

After arriving in Hong Kong in the afternoon and having dinner with Chen Long and Fang Zuming, Zhen Jiecheng couldn't wait to return to the hotel.

Soon, Li Zi came over.

I have to say, tigers and wolves in their thirties are different.

Despite Zhen Jiecheng's strong support, he managed to fight on equal terms and still had some strength left.

Early the next morning, while Zhen Jiecheng was feeling bloated, they took the initiative to cheer and march, so that when Zhen Jiecheng greeted teacher Li Pingbin, his exhaustion was evident on his face.

But physical fatigue cannot conceal the spiritual high spirits!
"Teacher Li, I have some new ideas for the script."

"Oh!"

“I think there’s still a lot of potential for Parasite to be explored further.”

"Ok!"

"After much consideration, I decided to change the script."

"Oh!"

"Teacher Li, why don't you have any expression at all? I need to revise the script, and your workload will increase again!"

"Change it! You're the director, you have the final say."

"This..." Zhen Jiecheng was stunned, "You don't have any objection at all?"

"No, I'm used to it!" Li Pingbin spread his hands, "Hasn't Jiang Wen always been like this?"

"You and Jiang Wen are in cahoots, you have a lot in common, and you share the same ideals. You are brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other, like a dragon and a phoenix."

"So isn't it normal to change the script?"

"Even if we make changes while filming, or even temporarily stop work to make changes, that's normal!"
