Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 218 Senior, you don’t want to either.
"Taken" has been removed from North America's first-tier theaters and moved to second-tier theaters for continued release.

Faced with the double team of "Transformers" and "Harry Potter", although it has never topped the weekly box office rankings, Chen Long's transformed image of "agent father" has won praise from the audience and recognition from the market.

The North American box office has exceeded 300 million, and once it is completely closed, the global box office will exceed 500 million US dollars. Faced with such results, creating the "Taken" series immediately became the top priority for Chen Long and New Line, and its priority was obviously higher than "Rush Hour".

"Jie Cheng."

"Brother, you know me well. I never make sequels when I make movies!" Zhen Jiecheng interrupted immediately. "Besides, the template has been made. The next sequel is nothing more than old wine in a new bottle. I don't need to do it. I have to work on other projects."

If someone else said this, even if Chen Long didn't say anything on the surface, he would definitely say in his heart: If you don't seize the present moment and insist on aiming too high, you will regret it sooner or later.

Can be replaced by Zhen Jiecheng
"Okay, Jie Cheng!"

"Then I wish you all the best in advance for your next project."

"If you can use me, just let me know."

"By the way, you must come to the movie celebration party. If you don't take a seat, you won't be able to eat at the banquet."

"Okay, big brother, I will definitely be there!" Zhen Jiecheng responded quickly.

After a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

"Mad, I'm so tired."

"The call is over."

"It didn't happen when Parasite won the Palme d'Or!"

"How can you not be so proud?" Ning Hao curled his lips. "No matter how impressive the Palme d'Or is, it's still a matter of art. Well, you've made a lot of money."

"But Taken is a solid Hollywood blockbuster that has been successful in the box office market!"

"Fuck, nowadays all the shit from abroad smells good, and Hollywood's shit is made of gold."

"Those guys even want to rub their shit, let alone you, the one who poops!"

"Shit! What kind of metaphor is that?" Zhen Jiecheng cursed.

"The metaphor is a bit crude, but just tell me if it's realistic or not." Ning Hao crossed his legs. "The logic is obvious: Hollywood has come to you seeking cooperation. Whoever can grab your hair might be able to go to Hollywood with you and act in a serious movie."

"If we hype him up a bit, wouldn't he be able to secure the title of an international movie star?"

"In a nutshell: rubbing your hair is much better than rubbing the red carpet!"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng's mouth twitched. He looked away guiltily, no longer looking directly at Ning Hao.

It’s simple, the vixen was busy most of the night last night.

Smacking his lips, wrapping it again and again.

"It's so fragrant!"

“Not disgusting at all!”

“It’s so delicious, I can’t get enough!”

What else can Zhen Jiecheng do about this? He can only encourage:

“It’s delicious, just eat more!”

“You Who Came From the Stars” made Fan Bingbing extremely famous and she completely got rid of the label of “maid”.

But when Li Bingbing participated in the Hollywood co-production blockbuster "The Forbidden Kingdom", Fan Bingbing immediately became unable to sit still. He did not let Zhen Jiecheng move at all during the whole process, and was fidgeting from beginning to end.

It's not just Fan Bingbing. There have been constant contacts and communications from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau during this period, which even made Zhen Jiecheng have the illusion that he was the center of the entertainment industry.

When the Huabiao Awards shortlist was announced on the 16th, the media flocked to the event.

Especially after Hua Jie, as Zhen Jiecheng's agent, announced that Zhen Jiecheng would attend the award ceremony, the scene became even more lively.

So much so that when the "commercial director" Ning Hao returned to the company, he was not asked about his new work "Crazy Racing" by the paparazzi waiting downstairs, which made Ning Hao swallow back all the hype scripts he had prepared.

"Okay, stop talking about those random things!" Zhen Jiecheng forced himself to change the subject. "Take a two-day break and start working on your post-production. I'll go to China Film Group to check out the release schedule, and then you can pick a date."

"Tsk tsk tsk! You have to be a well-connected person to be able to see confidential information at will!"

"Shit! Are you crazy? Keep it a secret? What the hell! Everyone knows the twists and turns inside." Zhen Jiecheng glared at Ning Hao, "What's the matter? Are you angry because people ignored you and you can't play golf?"

"Can't make it? Who said I can't make it? I just don't have time to make it for the time being!" Ning Hao stiffened his neck, "Wait! I'll go there as soon as Crazy Racing is released! I'll call you then and broadcast it live to you!"

"Forget it! Why waste those two minutes of phone calls? It's not worth it!"

Hearing this, Ning Hao became furious, but was interrupted by Zhen Jiecheng before he could vent.

"As far as I know, Li An's No Porn will be released in November."

"The Lunar New Year films are undoubtedly Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" and Chen Kexin's "The Warlords."

"The rest is unclear. You have to go to China Film Academy to see the specific information."

"But I think whether you watch it or not won't stop you from considering choosing a schedule in advance."

"Emmm, Jiecheng, what do you think?" Ning Hao hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Is there any need to think about this? Just choose the time slot that is suitable for comedy."

“But the Lunar New Year movies include “Assembly” and “The Warlords”!”

"Then let's compete on the same stage. The size of the cake is not fixed. It doesn't mean that if he eats more, you will eat less." Zhen Jiecheng calmly opened the drawer and took out a document. "Nowadays, the number of screens in China is increasing day by day. As long as the quality of the film is guaranteed, competition can also be regarded as another form of cooperation."

"Let's all work together to make a big cake. The Lunar New Year box office is right there. How can you go hungry?"

As he said that, he threw the folder in his hand to Ning Hao.

"The post-production of Crazy Racer hasn't started yet, so it won't be too late to discuss it later."

"Let's talk about it first!"

"Okay, stop staring with your eyes wide open, they can't get big enough!"

"Sister Na gave it to me! Sister Na told me that you have been thinking about it a lot."

“This story outline was created even earlier than these two “Crazy” series!”

"Why, you want to take a picture of it?"

"Shit! This woman, why does she say anything?" Ning Hao curled his lips, glanced at the three words "No Man's Land" on the document, and nodded, "Yes! I want to shoot! But I can't say when, anyway, there is no plan for the time being."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this story outline is kind of dark!"

"Darkness?" Ning Hao was stunned. "Isn't this normal?"

"Which of the films about coal mines, rural realities, and that special period is not dark? Isn't that what our Beijing Film Academy directors have always done?"

Looking at Ning Hao's righteous look, Zhen Jiecheng was also stunned.

Shit! That's exactly the truth!

I am influenced by the memories of my past life, so it seems like I am making a fuss about nothing.

"The first two "Crazy" movies were black comedies, and I want to make this one a black fable." "The patchwork feel of this story outline is too strong at the moment, so I tried to add a main line of being hunted all the way to enhance the sense of drama."

"Emmm, the idea is fine, we can do it!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "But I suggest! If you want to shoot, do it as soon as possible, I can still help you out."

"If this drags on, not only will I be unable to handle it, even Senior Han may not be able to do it!"

Everything else is easy to deal with. For example, there is no clear distinction between good guys and bad guys in the film, and lawyers fighting criminals for fame and profit does not conform to the aesthetic standards of optoelectronics. These are all minor matters! They can be accommodated!
"What do you mean? Do you have inside information?" Ning Hao quickly restrained his smile and asked seriously.

"Insider information? There is no inside information at all. I am just guessing!"

"Don't worry! I understand!" Ning Hao licked his face, "Jiecheng, then you can just make a wild guess and I'll just listen to it?"

Seeing that Ning Hao had already made up his mind, Zhen Jiecheng simply started to make up stories.
"Have you heard about Lu Chuan's stupid script?"

"Yeah," Ning Hao nodded, "I heard that the review is about to pass."

"Plus, Li An's No Sex will be released soon. Wow, these two movies set a good example!"

"In order to prevent those behind from imitating you, what do you think the higher-ups will do? How can they reorganize the team?"

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?" Ning Hao suddenly realized.

"That's right! It's to scare the monkeys! The chicken can't be too big, otherwise I can't hold it. It can't be too bad, otherwise it won't work!"

"Shit! You are looking down on me!" Ning Hao automatically put himself in the shoes of the other party and cursed, "Jie Cheng, what should I do?"

"What should we do? Didn't I tell you? Polish the script as soon as possible and get the project off the ground! So that it can be released around the same time as Lu Chuan's "Jinling! Jinling!", right?"

“But the post-production of Crazy Racing hasn’t been done yet!”

"It doesn't matter! Lu Chuan hasn't gotten the permit yet. Once he gets it, he'll make a lot of trouble according to his stupid nature!"

"So there's still plenty of time left for you. As long as you don't delay, there will be no problem!"

Ning Hao went to work with a sense of urgency.

A few days later, Chen Long came with a hearty smile.

The filming of "The Forbidden Kingdom" was completed, and domestic actors in the crew came to Beijing one after another.

On the one hand, he was attending the celebration party for "Taken", and on the other hand, the Huabiao Awards ceremony was approaching.

The celebration party was very lively, with red carpet rolling out and entertainment programs, full of a sense of ceremony.

When Li Bingbing walked proudly and met Fan Bingbing's eyes, a large amount of film was immediately consumed.

Zhen Jiecheng watched this with great interest, and had even more reason to look forward to the upcoming award ceremony.

The Huabiao Awards invited Fan Bingbing to be the award presenter, and according to the information Zhen Jiecheng heard from his senior brother Hou Keming, the award that Fan Bingbing will present is likely to be the Outstanding Actress Award, which is the so-called Huabiao Film Queen.

What a coincidence! Li Bingbing, as the heroine of "The Legend of Mir", is the biggest favorite for the award!
Wow, there’s something exciting to watch!

"Senior!"

Jing Tian came trotting over, interrupting Zhen Jiecheng's thoughts.

"Senior, let me introduce you, this is my teacher!"

Teacher? Zhen Jiecheng was stunned.

Of course Zhen Jiecheng knew Bao Dexi.

Brother Chen, Hong Kong's top photographer, called Zhen Jiecheng from time to time during the filming of "The Promise". He mentioned Pau Tak-hei in his conversations and was very satisfied with the pictures he took.

If Zhen Jiecheng had not established a relationship with Li Pingbin in advance when he visited the set of "Letter from an Unknown Woman", it is very likely that he would have used Senior Brother Chen to act as a matchmaker, and then used the succubus passive to trick Bao Dexi into joining.

"Hey, Teacher Bao, hello, hello!" No matter how confused you are, you must not lose your manners.

Zhen Jiecheng hurried forward and shook hands enthusiastically.

"Well, there's no need for me to introduce Brother Tao. You know him well, Senior!"

"Nonsense, how could I not be familiar with him? When I was being exploited by that old man, Senior Brother Tao was watching the fun from the sidelines!"

Zhen Jiecheng was talking and laughing, which made Tao Jing laugh.

"Jiecheng, we're not targeting anyone!"

"Huo Tingxiao, Bian Zhihong, Zhao Xiaoding, everyone is here to watch the fun, it's not fair for you to just mention my name."

"Tiantian, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes! Senior brother is right!" Jing Tian responded in a tender voice.

Her well-behaved appearance shows that she has a familiar relationship with the two of them, and it would not be an exaggeration to even call it intimate.

Especially Bao Dexi, his doting look was undisguised.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng became more and more confused.

Especially Jing Tian also left a private message,

"Senior, don't leave right after the dinner. Sister Xixi and I have something to talk to you about!"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng became even more confused.

Looking up, not far away, I saw Liu Yife's excited eyes, eager to try.

"Tell me! What do you two want to do?"

In Jing Tian's nanny car, Zhen Jiecheng was leaning on the sofa.

One maid attentively helped to light the cigarette, and another maid brought an ashtray in a flattering manner.

"Stop, stop, stop, don't do this, just talk about it."

"Um, senior! I want to make a movie!" Jing Tian plucked up the courage and spoke first.

"And me," Liu Yifei followed closely, "Me too!"

"Making a movie? I don't have any suitable project roles for you two right now!"

"Yes, senior! There is a suitable one! It's the one you said you would give priority to Sister Xixi!"

“That project is temporary.”

"Senior! You don't have to take the photos! Sister Xixi and I will take them!" Jing Tian interrupted Zhen Jiecheng, "Senior, Sister Xixi and I have taken this project!"

"Sister Xixi directed and acted in the film, I was the assistant director, Senior Brother Tao recorded the film, and my teacher took the photos!"

"Senior, you play the male lead!"

Without giving Zhen Jiecheng a chance to speak, Jing Tian blushed and finished speaking in one breath.

"Anyway, I've already brought the person here for you!"

"Senior, you don't want to miss the opportunity to poach people and expand your team, right?"
