Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 184 me too
Welcoming guests at the school gate, holding meetings in the auditorium, and doing film-pulling homework.

Students from Beijing Film Academy relived the scene that happened three months ago.

But compared to the time when Zhen Jiecheng won the Palme d'Or, the pomp this time was obviously much less. After all, the fact that a student won the award and broke the record for age has a different value for Beijing Film Academy.

"Brother!"

"sister in law!"

Zhen Jiecheng was as polite as ever.

"Jiecheng!" Jia Zhangke and his wife were also very enthusiastic.

Everyone was chatting animatedly and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

Zhen Jiecheng was amazed when he saw Sister-in-law Zhao Tao and Senior Sister Zhu Jiong in the same room.

Interesting fact: Zhao Tao is his current boyfriend and Zhu Jiong is his ex-wife.

Zhao Tao is the heroine of "Good People in the Gorge" and Zhu Jiong is the producer.

Wow, that’s why they say that the director of Beijing Film Academy not only knows how to have fun, but also has fun well!

After falling into this cesspool and being bathed in fine traditions, you still want to learn well?

Who should I learn from? Where should I learn from? There are no good people around me!

As I was thinking, I suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at me.

Following my feeling, I saw that it was Lao Deng'er.

His eyes moved between Zhen Jiecheng and Zhao Tao, then he winked and glared at them fiercely.

Hey, if you have a dirty mind, everyone you see is dirty!
I just looked at my sister-in-law a few more times, but Lao Deng misunderstood me in such a malicious way.

This once again proves how rotten the Feng Shui is!
Zhen Jiecheng pouted in grievance, looked away, and took a half step back to distance himself.
Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but be vigilant. Wang Guzhichou's role model was there, so he had to keep a close eye on the students to prevent them from following his example.

The internal fights at Beijing Film Academy were getting bigger and bigger, and the school leaders were getting terrified. Lu Chuan was the least worthy of mention among them. Her existence simply lowered the level of the internal fights at Beijing Film Academy!
Look at the others, who didn't win awards in the Europa League? In comparison, what kind of person is Lu Chuan?
Now, when Jia Zhangke was asked by reporters why he chose to release "Good People in the Gorge" at the same time as "Curse of the Golden Flower", he said directly: "I just want to see, in this era of worshipping "gold", who still cares about "good people"?"

It is tantamount to making the internal strife public.

If Zhen Jiecheng is added to the mix, what a mess! The three generations of old, middle-aged and young people will be in a mess.

This result is absolutely unacceptable to Beijing Film Academy.

"Come here!" Tian Zhuangzhuang waved.

When Zhen Jiecheng approached, he whispered:
"From now on, you must stay beside me. Don't go anywhere else! Especially don't go towards Zhao Tao!"

"Teacher, I"

"What do you mean by 'I'? It's settled. No objections!"

The conversation continued, the laughter continued.

But the excitement belongs to others, and Zhen Jiecheng has nothing.

Finally finished the process,
"Fuck it, Wang Quanan will win the Golden Bear next year, and I won't come no matter what. If I come again, I'll be a dog!"

As he said this, he spat fiercely, picked up his phone while driving,
"Hey, sis, do you want to ride a dog?"

"What? You rode too hard last time. You need to slow down to avoid getting loose if you continue riding?"

"Sister, stop it! Not to mention now, even in ten years, you will be tight as hell!"

"Wait, I'll be right there!"

The next day, "Taken" officially held a press conference in Beijing.

This already semi-public project was shown to the media for the first time.

The combination of Zhen Jiecheng + Chen Long, and the tripartite cooperation model of China Film + Hong Kong + Hollywood, even though it has been rumored everywhere in the market for a long time, still dominated the front page headlines of the media.

Apart from Zhen Jiecheng and Chen Long, the most eye-catching one is Jing Tian.

A newcomer, who made her debut in a blockbuster film, playing the role of Chen Long's daughter.

Who is this?

After an investigation, wow!

Zhang Yadong tailored the album for him, and Ning Hao personally shot the MV.

The album became popular before it was released, and Jing Tian also became famous.

Lu Zheng’s mouth was crooked with smile as he watched, and it had to be a big production with a famous director and a superstar!
The money spent was not as much as the cost of producing the album plus the investment in "Curse and Shock", but the effect was worlds apart.

This is just a press conference, and it’s already so popular. Won’t it be even more popular when the movie is released?

Thinking about this, the intention to promote cooperation between Wanda and Jiecheng Film and Television Company became more determined.

The cooperation was easy, no one could refuse a young and great director like Zhen Jiecheng.

What Lu Zheng wants is all-round cooperation, in every aspect.

"Brother Chen Long is very approachable. It is my honor to play the role of Brother Chen Long's daughter."

"Director Zhen specially arranged a teacher for me to help me hone my acting skills. I am very grateful to Director Zhen. At the same time, Director Zhen also made me determined to apply for the Beijing Film Academy next year."

Listen, Da Tiantian’s name suits her, she has a sweet mouth!
Zhen Jiecheng once again proved his excellent quality of caring about his alma mater and made it known.

This indirectly led to the first appearance of the concept of "virtual school belle" on the Beijing Film Academy campus: that is, before entering school, she had already been elected as the new school belle.

In response to this, Teacher Cui Xinqin, as a representative of the Performance Department, praised Zhen Jiecheng at a school meeting.

Highly praise Zhen Jiecheng as an outstanding student who practices the motto of Beijing Film Academy!

With a pure heart, I am devoted to art. With gratitude in my heart, I never forget my alma mater.

It should be set as an example and called on all Beijing Film Academy students to learn from it!

In response, the principal and Director Tian looked at each other.

Setting an example? Calling for learning?
Sister, do you think Beijing Film Academy isn’t chaotic enough?
Gritting my teeth, I forced a stiff smile.

"Ahem, Mr. Cui is right!"

"However, due to time constraints, we will discuss this issue at the next meeting."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

The content of the meeting naturally reached Zhen Jiecheng's ears, but Zhen Jiecheng no longer had time to complain. As the scheduled start time of "Taken" was getting closer, he became increasingly busy.

Alan Ferraz has come to Beijing.

As the action director of "The Bourne Supremacy", Alan Ferraz also served as the action director of "Taken" in his previous life.

He once served in the special forces and used the martial arts of sex. Zhen Jiecheng specially asked New Line to invite him.

The Cheng family team has tried their best, but they are helpless because a considerable part of the Chinese martial arts that "only kills people, not performs" is difficult to be presented in film and television even after adjustments.

Alan Ferraz would be a very quality addition!

As for the actors, except for the protagonist's ex-wife and daughter who are Chinese, the rest are all left to New Line.

Zhen Jiecheng originally wanted to marry Jing Tian, ​​his "daughter", and let Chen Long decide the role of ex-wife.

Unexpectedly, Brother Long was very generous and put the cake directly into Zhen Jiecheng's mouth.

"Jie Cheng, who should I choose for this role?"

"No, brother, you should do it!"

"No, no, no, you are the director, you have the final say!"

How can I refuse this? I can't refuse!
So Zhen Jiecheng made a phone call.

"Sister, are you free recently?"

"I'm free! I've already finished promoting 'Miami Storm', and there's no need to reshoot the sequel to 'Curse of the Golden Flower', so I'm just sitting around doing nothing."

"Maiami Storm"?
hiss!
I just happened to be going abroad to film a movie, so I could watch the uncut art live in the cinema. "Sister, then come over and play a cameo role for me."

"Okay! But, I can help you, but how are you going to thank me?"

"When I see Zhang Weiping later, I'll call him a fool to his face. How about this, sister? Is this a sincere thank you?"

"Hahaha! Sure, you're very sincere. It's a deal then!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Long came forward immediately.

"Gong Li?"

Chen Long did not hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but when Zhen Jiecheng said Zhang Weiping's name, Chen Long immediately thought of Gong Li.

"Yes, brother!"

"How about it, my sister coming to guest star, is that appropriate?"

"It fits perfectly! It fits perfectly!" Chen Long was delighted.

As the most famous Chinese actress, Gong Li's guest appearance will definitely bring a lot of exposure to "Taken".

Just thinking that the original intention of giving up the right to choose the role was to provide benefits to Zhen Jiecheng, but unexpectedly, now I have become the one who owes a favor.

Indeed, Zhen Jiecheng is the director, and it is his due responsibility to contribute as much as possible to the film.

But Chen Long has a scale in his heart. He is the initiator and he is also the biggest beneficiary of the film's success.

Thinking of this, Chen Long scratched his hair which had become very "Duang" due to his busy schedule recently.
"Jie Cheng, I've made you owe me a favor again!"

"To be honest, I don't know how to thank you."

"How about this, if you're going to shoot a sequel to Taken, why don't you send Ms. Liu to the People's Art Theatre for tutoring in advance? How do you think?"

"Ms. Liu?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned. "Hasn't Xixi already taken tutoring classes at the People's Art Theatre?"

"Um, I'm not talking about Iffy." Chen Long raised his eyebrows and forced out an ambiguous smile, "Jiecheng, I've asked around. Hehehe, you know!"

Li Pingbin is here!
Mr. Li is conscientious and sincere.

He knows all the postures the director wants, and he has all the looks the director wants, so Zhen Jiecheng is very good at using them.

At the same time, one of Chen Long’s regular photographers, Pan Yaoming, also arrived in Beijing from Hong Kong.

New Line invited the cinematographer of "Rush Hour": Adam Greenberg.

It is operated by three people.

By the end of September, everything was ready.

Lu Zheng was wealthy and chartered a plane directly.

"Director Zhen, I'll leave Tiantian in your care!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Even if you don't trust me, how can you not trust the bodyguard you arranged for Tiantian?" Zhen Jiecheng smiled and checked the time on his watch. "Okay, Mr. Lu, it's time for us to board the plane! See you in China after the filming!"

"Well! See you in China! But it's not just the two of us!" Lu Zheng nodded, "And President Wang!"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng was stunned, and quickly realized that it was Wan Da Lao Wang.

The main player of Daikin has entered the market!
Zhen Jiecheng is very clear about his positioning. Original movies and even music are no problem.

But when it comes to business, even though Cheng Hao worked very hard and found Sister Hua as a supplement in advance, it was still not enough.

If you want to develop, you must find a reliable partner.

There is no doubt that Wanda, which is making all-out transformation, is the most suitable choice for Zhen Jiecheng at the moment.

Thinking about it, he nodded. After giving Lu Zheng a warm hug, he said goodbye and boarded the plane.

Let’s put business matters aside for now; right now, the movie is the most important thing.

Take office, France!

Coming to France again, it is no longer the unknown country it was three months ago.

As the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Film in history, Yan Jiecheng and "Parasite" have made many headlines in France.

So much so that not long after getting off the plane, he was blocked by media reporters.

Chen Long and Zhen Jiecheng took all the microphones. Of course, Zhen Jiecheng only took 30% of the microphones, and 70% belonged to others.

But that’s Chen Long!
Zhen Jiecheng found it incredible that as a director he could take away some of the microphone from Chen Long.

There is a saying: Only after going abroad can you know the value of "Jackie Chan".

Among all the current Chinese stars, and even among all living Asian actors, Chen Long is definitely one of the best.

Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li is already very powerful, and his fame in China is on par with that of Chen Long. But looking at the world, it still has to be Brother Long.

"Jackie Chan!"

"Jackie Chan!"

Along the way, there were constant greetings.

After entering the hotel, guests in the lobby, the hotel front desk, the manager, and even the cleaning staff all sought autographs and took photos with him.

The New Line staff and contracted actors who had already checked into the hotel also came forward to greet them.

"Wow! Big brother is so awesome!" Jing Tian blurted out with full of admiration.

Seeing Zhen Jiecheng's gaze, he added,
“Senior is also amazing!”

Zhen Jiecheng:ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

"Ahem, you don't have to add that sentence. A perfunctory statement is more hurtful than the truth!"

"How can it be perfunctory? It's obvious that you are very capable!"

"No matter how great I am, I am just a director. In the final analysis, I am just a behind-the-scenes worker. I can't compare to an actor!" Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, "Okay, don't just stand there, send the luggage back to the room, and then go have a meal!"

It is true that Chen Long is the focus of the crowd, but the foreign actors and crew members still keep their eyes on Zhen Jiecheng from time to time.

too young!

In the business of directing, it’s a bit unbelievable to be young!

Since he participated in "Taken", everyone naturally knows something about Zhen Jiecheng.

Genius, arrogant, fond of mature women, numerous romances, polite and gentlemanly, respectful to his elders. All these labels, either compatible or contradictory, come together and are attached to him by the media, making everyone curious.

Although he won the Palme d'Or and became a famous director, he had never proven himself in Hollywood, so he broke the tradition and snatched the rights from the producer, which surprised everyone!
So when the dinner started, when Zhen Jiecheng stood up first and raised his glass, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.

"I don't think I need to introduce myself."

No need for translation, just simple English communication.

"I only have one thing to say. You can feel free to give us your suggestions. The more the better."

"But the decision is mine!"

Unlike in China, there is no need to be euphemistic when dealing with these foreigners, just be straightforward.

“When we got to the set and the camera was on, there could only be one sound!”

After the words fell, the scene fell into silence.

Except for a few people like Lao Li and Jing Tian, ​​the Cheng family team and a group of foreigners first turned their attention to Chen Long and then turned to the producers of New Line.

"Ahem, Jiecheng is right!" Chen Long also stood up, "You are the director, I will listen to you!"

As he said this, he looked at the producer of New Line and winked.

"me too!"
