Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 202 Zhang Chen's Agent Universe

At around two o'clock, Zhang Chen found an excuse to leave Sister Jiuyi's room.

Go straight to the 8th floor.

Xu Shenggu hasn't gone to bed yet and is still waiting for him.

Zhang Chen just stood at the door and before he could knock, the door opened automatically, then a hand reached out and grabbed Zhang Chen's collar, and the next second his figure disappeared at the door.

At five o'clock, Zhang Chen took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to send a message to Yang Xiaomi, telling her not to wait and to go to bed first.

He thought he was Ip Man and could beat ten people, but the reality was that he couldn't even beat three, and beating two was already his limit.

After two hours of learning from the Saint Lady, he was really out of ammunition and food.

When I watched old movies in the past, I saw that the guerrillas behind enemy lines had only three bullets per soldier, and they had to be used sparingly.

Now Zhang Chen felt the same way. He had no more bullets left and the bag was empty.

……

After fermenting overnight, the news broke the next day.

The topic about Zhang Chen's angry criticism of the Hong Kong director at last night's celebration party is everywhere.

Zeng Zhiwei is okay. In everyone's impression, he is just a comedian. His role as Three-Inch Ding Gu Shuba is also quite vivid.

But Wu Yusen!
He's a big Hollywood director.

How dare Wu Yusen, who has directed "Broken Arrow", "Face/Off" and "Mission Impossible 2", be ridiculed by Zhang Chen like this?
However, what more people are curious about is, was Wu Yusen really kicked out of Hollywood?

Although there have been similar reports before, most of them just said that "Windtalkers" was coldly received and did not exaggerate.

Zhang Chen directly put the meaning behind this kind of propaganda into plain language and told it to everyone.

Oh, so being coldly treated means that no one wants him to make a movie anymore.

To return to Hong Kong with honor means to return in disgrace.

It seemed like in an instant, everyone understood the entertainment news.

The worst is the Beijing News!

Zhang Xiaobei directly compiled a special topic, summarizing the ins and outs of the incident.

Starting from the feud between "Black 2" and "Hancheng Strategy", Ning Hao was slandered, how Zhang Chen supported him, and then joined forces with theaters to ban "Hancheng Strategy".

Ma Chucheng complained and was supported by Hong Kong filmmakers, who criticized the mainland film environment and mainland filmmakers.

Then there was the celebration banquet where Zhang Chen responded one by one.

Every single incident was listed clearly, and the author also fanned the flames by finding evidence that many Hong Kong filmmakers looked down on people from the mainland.

The Beijing News is willing to stir up trouble, but it is irrefutable because the evidence it lists is all true.

……

In the China Film Office, Han Sanping felt a headache after reading the relevant reports.

He knew very well that Zhang Chen did not intend to make a big deal out of it, but he could not stand the media's excessive interpretation.

Looks like I have to control the comments again.

Compared with print media, online comments are more radical and have begun to take sides.

Some people support Zhang Chen, believing that he is an awakened young man in China who dares to say no to all authority.

In this era, Han Han can become a fighter, not to mention Zhang Chen who has more sharp views.

Anyone who dares to be the first in the world will be supported by others.

But more people are against Zhang Chen.

The reason is simple. Wu Yusen is an internationally renowned director. No matter whether his latest work fails or not, he has had a glorious past after all.

What do you have, Zhang Chen?
The identity of a billion-dollar director is only domestic.

In the eyes of some people, everything in the country is backward.

If you are not international, you are low!

At first, the two sides just had different opinions, which gradually developed into verbal abuse and then turned into a war of words.

[What kind of person is Zhang Chen? He has just achieved some success but he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.]

[Zhang Chen, a ridiculous person, the people who go up the mountain laugh at the gods who go down the mountain]

[The God who came down from the mountain, if he fails, he fails.]

[Even if Wu Yusen fails, Zhang Chen can never compare to him]

[The person above, have you been kneeling for too long and can’t stand up? Can’t you even say you fell to the ground?]

[Let’s not talk about anything else, just the box office. Wu Yusen made Mission: Impossible 2, which grossed 2 million US dollars in North America and 5 million US dollars worldwide. Does Zhang Chen have that?]

[That’s because he borrowed the global platform of Hollywood. Without Hollywood, would his previous Hong Kong films have achieved such results?]

[Why can’t Zhang Chen enter Hollywood?]

By the end of the war of words, they were basically focused on one point - Zhang Chen had no global box office results.

This is a fatal flaw.

So far, he has only one film, "The Darkness", released in North America, and it is a horror film, which belongs to a niche market.

Judging purely from the global box office, Wu Yusen does indeed beat him.

Then someone called:

Zhang Chen, aren't you going to make a spy movie? Make one for them to watch and make them shut up~
Yeah, shut them up.
Shut up +1
Shut up +1
……

For a while, people on the Internet were asking Zhang Chen to make a video to slap himself in the face, and even Wu Baige's supporters were rushing to ask Zhang Chen to make a video.

How can they compare without filming, how can they continue to scold~
Of course, in addition to the two groups of people who stand on the pro and anti camps, there is also a third group of people whose views are different from those of either side.

Zhang Chen, I'm waiting for you to make "The Shallows 2" for me, why are you making a spy movie?

These people's brains are controlled by hormones. I don't care about any verbal battles and I don't take sides. I just want to see Fan Binbin wearing a bikini.

As soon as the third group of people spoke, the first two groups fell silent.

I feel like we are not on the same channel, there is nothing I can say.
There was a lively quarrel on the Internet. In Hong Kong, Ng Yu-sen and Tsang Chi-wai stayed at their respective homes, both of them with constipated expressions.

Zeng Zhiwei was almost on the verge of breaking down these past two days. He had lived for decades and had experienced all kinds of storms, but this was the first time he had been humiliated like this.

How did he come up with the idea of ​​three-inch-tall tree bark?

Zeng Zhiwei only felt that the blood vessels on his forehead were throbbing and might burst at any time.

Some media in Hong Kong have already openly nicknamed him "Zeng Dalang".

I even heard that there was a drugstore that changed the name of a male enhancement drug to "Zeng Dalang" just to get some attention.

When men joke with each other, they often ask each other if they are not good enough or if they haven't eaten Zeng Dalang.

For a time, Zeng Zhiwei became synonymous with ability.

Wu Yusen is even more depressed. As the only Hong Kong director who has gone beyond his hometown, his status in the industry has always been very high.

Even the Hong Kong media, which loves to stir up trouble, has always praised him.

After all, he is a great Hollywood director and the pride of Hong Kong.

But Zhang Chen happened to appear and pulled off his fig leaf for everyone to see.

For Wu Baige, successfully breaking into Hollywood is the most glorious thing in his life.

But success and failure are both due to Xiao He.

Being abandoned by Hollywood is also the scar he least wants others to mention in his life.

Zhang Chen's words were a bit like stripping him naked and exposing him to the media, which was simply embarrassing.

Feeling his vision blurry, he quickly took out his blood pressure medication and took a pill.

This kid just wants to piss me off to death. I can't let him succeed.

These two days, both of them were a little afraid to go out. As soon as they went out, they were surrounded by paparazzi and the questions they asked were more embarrassing than the last.

……

While the quarrel was going on outside, in the large conference room of Xingchen Entertainment, Zhang Chen was telling everyone about the Agent Universe.

"Brian is positioned as a retired CIA agent, which makes it easier to pass the review. His character is too extreme, and he would kill anyone for his daughter.

"Taken" is a very simple story. It is about a father whose daughter was controlled by a group of human traffickers while traveling, and an old father traveled thousands of miles to save her.

Of course, the process will definitely be a massacre.

There is also another story called "Sanction Agents", which is what I talked about with Professor Chen Daoming last night.

Lao Chen is a killer who likes to assassinate some extremely vicious guys.

He has a different background. He might have been a secret agent in the past, a former colleague or rival of Brian. After retiring, the two are no longer hostile, but instead have become sympathetic to each other.

Lao Chen’s setting is relatively traditional. He is just a good guy and doesn’t kill innocent people.

He does not advocate violence and prefers to convince others with reason.

Of course, only when you encounter unreasonable people will you convince them with reason.

Well, the latter principle is the principle of physics.

"Taken" and "The Force Awakens" can both be made into series. The villains are human trafficking gangs, organ trafficking gangs, gangs that control prostitutes, etc. The characters in the two films can also interact with each other.

In addition, in order to relieve aesthetic fatigue, you can also add some small stories, such as asking for wages.

"

“Migrant workers demanding wages?”

"That's about right. Hitmen are also workers and are preparing to retire. The Hitmen Agency wants to default on the money in the account, so Old Chen has no choice but to ask for his salary himself."

That’s right, Zhang Chen was talking about the plot of “The Criminal Investigator”. They are almost the same anyway, so it would be nice to apply it to Lao Chen.

It can even be imitated from "Red Flame" and have two retired old guys, Brian and Lao Chen, work together.

As for Lao Chen’s identity, it is best to keep it vague.

Some people may think it’s pretty cool to have an identity like a national security officer, but the biggest possibility is that it will lead to the movie’s poor box office in North America.

Ideology and the like are very important.

This is a red line no matter in the East or the West, and it is best not to cross it.

Moreover, this thing is really related to national strength.

China is awesome, it can be filmed in any way.

If it's not that serious, your filming will just be awkward.

If you don't believe me, why don't you let Vietnam make a movie like "The Martian" and see if the box office can still be that high?
It's already 2017, and "Wolf Warrior 2" has been criticized a lot. It's only the early s, and Zhang Chen is not prepared to cause trouble for himself.

"In addition, it can be extended to say that Lao Chen has a daughter, but due to the issue of her identity, she has never been made public, and his apprentice Ali is helping him to silently protect her.

As fate would have it, Lao Chen's enemies learned of his daughter's existence, and one day they kidnapped her. Ali tracked her down in many ways and eventually rescued Lao Chen's daughter."

Zhang Chen told the plot of "Uncle" again. If they wanted to make the scene more exciting, they could change it to "Save Me from Evil". Anyway, the main point is the interweaving.

There is no concept of the universe in China now, and Zhang Chen's divergent thinking shocked everyone.

Zhang Chen continued: "Because of this incident, Ali began to spontaneously hunt down similar criminal organizations. Human trafficking organizations and organ trafficking organizations are all his enemies."

As for the candidate for Ali, Zhang Chen initially chose Zhang Jin, who is tall and long-legged, handsome, and a martial arts actor, making him a very suitable candidate.

Moreover, Zhang Chen also designed a sequel for the character of Ali, which is the "Exodus" series.

"I have thought of the plot of Taken 2. Brian is in prison and the CIA asks him to testify against a big shot. The big shot kidnaps Brian's daughter as a threat. Lao Chen asks Ali for help. He is an expert in this field. They stage Taken .

On the way to the rescue, they met another rescuer, who was sent from China, Wolf Warrior Leng Feng. Because they were not clear about each other's identity, the two sides fought each other.

Leng Feng is another character who can be made into a military-themed film, such as the Wolf Warrior series.”

Zhang Chen did not talk about the specific story of "Wolf Warrior". The evacuation incident has not happened yet, but it can actually be filmed as a reminder to the country.

At this time, someone finally asked a question. It was Ning Hao.

"I have a question. Brian is so awesome, why didn't he save his daughter himself in the second part? Or why didn't Lao Chen help him save her, but insisted on looking for his own apprentice?"

"The reason is simple, because they both have their own stories. As Brian is a key witness, the bigwigs must want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Kidnapping his daughter as a threat is one thing, killing him personally is another. Lao Chen must protect Brian's safety. This is another story called "The Hitman's Bodyguard."
