Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 352

Fengtian, Sujiatun Xinmeng Garden.

In a villa next to Olympic champion Wang Junxia, ​​a group of apprentices are surrounding Lao Zhao, waiting for the dishes on the stove.

Old Zhao waved the spatula skillfully, flipping the spoon from time to time.

The steam rising from the pot amid the chatter makes the place extremely lively.

"About Shen Yang giving up his cameo in The Grandmaster and booking a role in a film project with Jiecheng Films. Jiecheng said he was using me to repay Director Wang's favor, but we need to know what's really going on."

Looking at Xiao Shenyang,
"A guest appearance and a brilliant supporting role are not the same thing."

"Director Wang gave me this role as compensation. It can't be compared with the one specially designed by Jie Cheng."

"I won't push you or ask you when the film project will be approved. Once you get the offer, you have to throw yourself into it!"

"When you join the crew, you have to keep your head down. Different trades are like different mountains. We are outsiders, apprentices!"

After a pause, he looked around at the other disciples.

"Shen Yang got this opportunity by chance. He just happened to catch it. Don't blame me for being biased."

"Take your own bowl and eat your own meal. If there is a suitable dish in the pot, the master will definitely put it in your bowl."

"Master, you don't need to explain. We won't speculate."

"Yes, Master, we are able to have a bite to eat because of you. If you still complain, then you have no conscience."

All the disciples spoke at once and responded quickly.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least the scene was joyful. For Lao Zhao, this was enough.

Even teeth and tongue can fight sometimes, let alone so many disciples.

"We still have to lay it out clearly so that we don't overthink it." Old Zhao waved his hand cheerfully and was about to take the food out of the pot.

"dududu~"

The cell phone rang.

"Help me get it, it's in my trouser pocket and I can't get my hands away."

"Okay, Master." Little Shenyang hurried forward, took out his cell phone and was about to answer the call when he suddenly stopped.

Looked up,
"Master, it's Director Zhen calling."

"Jiecheng?" Old Zhao was stunned. "Quick, someone help me get the pot."

"Hey, Jie Cheng."

"Look at what you're saying. Don't bother me! You'd better come to the Northeast to bother me in person. Then I can make you authentic chicken stewed with mushrooms and goose stewed in an iron pot."

"What? Looking for me?"

The bright smile froze in an instant, and the fluent conversation became halting.

The huge change before and after made all the disciples open their eyes wide. They wanted to get closer to listen carefully, but they didn't dare to.

"I'm not particularly busy."

"Emmm Jiecheng, I think you should not make a decision so quickly. At least you should compare prices from three different stores."

"No, no, no, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't have confidence in myself! I'm just a peasant, I don't know anything, don't come back and delay your business."

"Since you said so, then I have no problem with that."

The phone call was finally hung up. Old Zhao frowned and gasped.

When he looked up, he suddenly found that all his disciples had gathered around him, their eyes wide open like those of silly roe deer, full of curiosity and inquiry.

"Alright, stop looking! Jie Cheng wants me to film a scene!"

"Director Zhen wants you to film a movie?" Song Xiaobao grabbed Lao Zhao's arm, "I just finished working with Director Wang, and now I'm working with Director Zhen. Master, you are this!"

thumbs up,
"The role you play this time must be very important, so I thought of you first!"

"Emmm, it is very important." Lao Zhao gritted his teeth, "How can the protagonist of a one-man show not be important?"

"The protagonist?" Wang Xiaoli raised his voice, "Still the protagonist of a one-man show?"

"Wait! Master, you're not acting in the new project that Director Zhen is going to participate in, right?" Nicholas Zhao Si came forward.

"Yes, that's it." Old Zhao replied in a muffled voice.

"Hey Master, you're going to walk the red carpet at the three major European film festivals!"

"A one-man show, and a competition. Isn't this almost the same as Leonardo DiCaprio in Joker?"

"Don't tell me, it's true!"

Everyone talked at once, and soon they spoke in unison.

"Master, congratulations!"

"What are you congratulating? Do you think this is a good thing?" Old Zhao covered his chest and pointed at the little Shen Yang who was laughing at the side. "Ask him!"

"Although Shen Yanger only stayed in the crew of The Grandmaster for a few days, and Jie Cheng left on the third day after he arrived. But in those two days, we were able to get a general idea of ​​it!"

"Ask him! Is Jie Cheng's scene that easy to film?"

"I would rather go to the Spring Festival Gala and go through a few rehearsals, and then be rejected!"

"Even if I make another movie called 'Three Guns Surprise', how many times will Zhang Dazui scold me in front of me?"

Seeing their master's desperate look, everyone looked at Xiao Shenyang.

"Shen Yang, Director Zhen's scenes are difficult to shoot?"

"Emm, how can I describe it to you? Oh, by the way, there is a line in the skit between Master and Teacher Song that would be appropriate if we change it."

Little Shen Yang controlled his expression and tone, and performed vividly:

"Other people spend money on filming, but he spends his life on filming!"

The late spring cold has finally been sewn into the cuffs, and the willow catkins are flying everywhere, making the ripples of Houhai Lake look like fluff.

As the script of "The Father Trapped in Time" became more and more polished, Zhen Jiecheng was finally able to relax relatively, riding his bicycle from time to time and traveling around the capital.

Since 08, the "dragon spirit" of the city has become increasingly inauthentic.

The planting of windbreaks in the north has taken shape, not only have there been fewer sandstorms, but the sky has also occasionally appeared clear blue.

Unfortunately, the sweat of these forestry workers will be mistaken for the work of ants at some point in the future.

What is hateful is that the Shiba Inu, who was attacked and slapped in the face by the academicians, can still stand "under the dome" with a clear conscience. With an intellectual personality and a disguise of humanistic care, he talks about air pollution and energy conservation and emission reduction.

"Alas, it's not good if the wind is weak!" Zhen Jiecheng smacked his lips. He glanced at the white legs and fluttering skirts on the street, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I remember that they were blown up directly. Now, they can't even be blown into the shape of a buttocks!"

"Senior, be polite! Pay attention to your manners!" Wearing a mask and sunglasses, Liu Yifei lowered her head and felt that everyone was looking at her. Her cheeks flushed with anxiety, "Keep your voice down!"

"Keep your voice down! They are showing off openly and I am admiring them openly. What's the problem?"

"Isn't it for people to see when you wear it? Can you sue me for voyeurism or harassment?"

Not to mention that it has only been 12 years now, even if it was ten years after the proliferation of short essays, Zhen Jiecheng would not be pretentious.

Glancing at Liu Yifei,

"Hey, Xixi, you've been a little lazy lately. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, your tonnage has increased, and your neck is almost gone."

"Senior, no way!"

"Last time I tagged you on Weibo, did you see it?"

"I saw it."

"Then why didn't you reply after reading it?" Zhen Jiecheng raised his hand and gave him a slap on the head.

You know what, the feeling of having a big forehead collapsed is really good.

It's very crisp, and you can tell it's a good forehead just by listening to the sound.

"Did you print out that bastard Zhang Yan's nude painting? Did you frame it? Did you hang it on the wall? Did you have some 'art therapy' while eating or drinking snacks?"

"If you don't want to watch it, just go out and meow more." "Look at Yang Mi, she commits suicide whenever she has time, learn from her!"

As he spoke, Zhen Jiecheng suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, did your mother tell you anything when you went out this time?"

"No." Liu Yifei shook her head. "I'm with you, not with anyone else. What's there to remind me of?"

"Emmm, your mother didn't tell you to keep your distance to avoid being photographed by paparazzi and rumors spread."

"Senior, what are you thinking? How could the paparazzi make up rumors about you and me? Even if they did, no one would believe it!"

Zhen Jiecheng:ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

Well, it’s not Lao Deng’er’s fault for being too biased.

My reputation is really hopeless!
Zhen Jiecheng let out a long sigh, feeling desolate and depressed.

"Forget it, let's talk business."

"I asked you to come here today because your mom told me that your weight has increased. I just happened to be planning to go out for a bike ride, so I decided to take you along for the ride."

"Also, I'm going to discuss cooperation with a company this afternoon. You know Happy Twist, right?"

"I know. They're in stage plays." Liu Yifei nodded. "The comedy 'If You Want Mahua, I'll Twist It for You' starring Teacher He Jiong and Xie Na is from Happy Mahua. I even went to see it live."

"Yes, that's them. I've fallen in love with a stage play produced by Happy Twist and I'm planning to adapt it into a movie."

"Senior, why did you ask me to come here?" Liu Yifei pointed at herself, "You want me to act?"

"You?" Zhen Jiecheng lowered his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Long Bao. "Tsk, what are you thinking about! Putting aside your acting skills, do you have the hardware foundation?"

Qiuya is so "thin when dressed, but voluptuous when undressed", especially when she shook her head out of the water, she looked so smooth. Even if Liu Yifei gained weight, it would be useless even if she stuffed all her breasts in!

She graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and was born to be a director at the Beijing Film Academy. The only pity is that she is a little young, born in 83.

"Then why did you call me over?" Liu Yifei pouted, obviously hurt by Zhen Jiecheng's undisguised gaze.

"What do you want me to do? Of course I want you to get ready to work!"

"Don't you see that I'm ranked low on the pig-killing list? It's all because you didn't work hard enough!"

While Zhen Jiecheng was scolding him, he also gave him a slap on the head.

"This adapted play isn't for you, but there's another one."

"The company bought the adaptation rights to Brewster's Millions from the Americans, and I plan to find actors from Happy Twist. This is a good opportunity for you to get familiar with them, and when the stage play adaptation project is finished, it will be your turn to perform."

The original version of "Xia Zhu" is really unwatchable.

Not only is his acting mediocre, but his looks are also average.

No matter how charming Liu Yife is, she is still more pleasing to the eye than the original Taiwanese girl, right?

"Well, hurry up and do exercise to make your neck thinner!"

"Also, be careful not to show your teeth when you smile. Don't smile so hard that your mouth is stretched too wide. If you dare to smile in front of the camera, I will arrange a kissing scene between you and Huang Bo, and I will kiss you hundreds of times. When the two of you fight poison with poison and grind each other's teeth flat through friction, it will be over!"

Under Liu Yifei's horrified gaze, Zhen Jiecheng got back on his bike.

"Why are you still standing there? Pedal up and let's ride back to the company!"

In the company office, the school hunk from the Military Art Academy sat upright. Even though he was no longer an unknown figure, he had just made a splash with the role of "Hao Jian" in the Spring Festival Gala.

He has dabbled in filming, stage plays, dramas, sketches, crosstalk, screenwriting, and directing!

For example, in the movie "If You Want to Eat Mahua, I'll Twist It for You" mentioned by Liu Yifei, Shen Teng was the assistant director.

Another stage play, "Somali Pirates", was written and directed by himself.

As the most representative comedian in Chinese entertainment in the post-Zhou Xingchi era, although his works are far from reaching the level of Zhou Xingchi, they are already remarkable.

While Zhen Jiecheng was chatting about cooperation with the general manager of Happy Twist, he was looking at Shen Teng.

Seeing that Shen Teng was a little reserved, he smiled and said,

"Why, is my office more tormenting than the stage of the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Emmm, it's hard to say. But Director Zhen, your scrutiny is definitely more oppressive than the eyes of the Spring Festival Gala director." Shen Teng scratched his head, and he felt much more relaxed after he opened his mouth to speak.

"Ha Wen? She's a shitty director!" Zhen Jiecheng took a sip of tea and said something fragrant casually.

Hearing this, Shen Teng and the leader looked at each other, tacitly kept silent, and just smiled politely.

You are the boss, you can criticize anyone you catch.

We are so young and weak that we dare not get involved.

On the side, Liu Yifei saw that Zhen Jiecheng's teacup was almost empty, so she imitated Tiantian and stood up to add more tea and water.

"Hey, I don't need it." Seeing Liu Yifei coming towards him with the water bottle, Shen Teng hurriedly said, "Yifei, put it down, I'll do it myself."

"You are a guest, so just sit down." Zhen Jiecheng said, "Besides, Xixi lacks exercise, so this is to lose weight."

"Director Zhen, you are joking. If Yifei needs to lose weight, then I will have to be tortured to pieces!"

Faced with such a kind invitation, Shen Teng could only pick up the cup and stand up slightly to "catch" the water poured by Liu Yifei.

His etiquette was impeccable and his answers also demonstrated the unique emotional intelligence of a comedian.

"Let's continue talking about 'Charlotte's Troubles'!" Zhen Jiecheng pointed to the script on the table, "You are generous in adapting the copyright, so I can't be stingy."

"First, the protagonist Charlotte is from your Happy Twist. I think Shen Teng is very suitable."

"As for the supporting roles, let's discuss it together. I will pay special attention to your opinions."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not being polite, I'm just being honest. Happy Twist has performed on stage many times, and your actors undoubtedly have a deeper understanding of the characters!"

After a pause,
"Second, you have the right to make suggestions regarding the adaptation of the script."

"Third, regarding the guest appearances by actors, I'll call Zhou Jielun over! Don't use that eagle when we meet at 98, just send Wang Fei directly, and let him be a real person to make a guest appearance."

"This project will be directed by Jing Tian and Xi Xi. You guys from Happy Twist can also participate as assistant directors."

"Me?" Liu Yifei was stunned when she heard this. "Senior, you..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? I won't talk about Mimi, but Tiantian is living on bananas in Southeast Asia just to help the company with work. How can you be so ashamed to be idle every day?"

Jie Lun’s true self makes a guest appearance, and Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick merge into one.

What is hype? What is a selling point? For this wave, it is not too much to increase the box office, right?
Also, aren't you a lazy cat? Now you are a director!

Zhen Jiecheng knew without thinking that when the future movie promotion comes, Tianxian will have to swallow her meow even if she wants to vomit, and then continue the roadshow and meow!
Well, this is called mobilizing the subjective initiative of employees! This is called inspiring the passion of workers!
"Director Liu!" Shen Teng offered an assist appropriately, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Teng, and I'm a 99th grader in the Military Art Academy."

He stood up, stretched out his hand, bent slightly, and said in a loud voice:

"Hello, Director Liu!"

"You, you too!"

Liu Yifei's back was visibly straightened, and her whole body was filled with the infinite power of an ox or a horse.

After finishing the cooperation with Happy Twist, he called and gave instructions on the filming of the "Burning Sun" crew.

For now, only the roles of the father and daughter have been confirmed for "The Father", and there is no rush for other castings. The apartment for filming will be built first.

The house is specially designed to match the Alzheimer's "memory maze".

Zhen Jiecheng would go to the site in person from time to time to avoid errors in construction and drawings.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was summer vacation.

"Lost in Thailand" was successfully completed. Tiantian, who ate bananas to fill her stomach, did not turn into a monkey, but Lao Bao's bald head became shiny black!
From this we can see that this old man has received a lot of filial piety from his apprentice.

Not long after, Guo Fan also returned to the capital with footage from "The Burning Sun". The old men were returned intact, and the gang was reunited!
Guo Fan then plunged into the editing room, and at the same time, under the instigation of Zhen Jiecheng, he started to work on Zhao Jiping.

As for why it was not Jiushi Rang who was boiling it
"dududu~"

"Moshi Moshi, Fujisawa Sang, Wadashi Wazhen Sang Simi"

"Zhen, there's no need to go through the formalities." The stiff Chinese voice on the phone interrupted Zhen Jiecheng's words, "Just tell me, when will you start working?"
