Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 315 Soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup

After the dinner, Zhang Chen declined the invitation to continue drinking tea.

Hong Kong people really love drinking tea. They drink tea in the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, and in the evening...

You can skip meals, but you can’t skip tea~
Sitting in the car provided by Boss Yang, Zhang Chen arrived at the set of "Kowloon Walled City".

Because of the co-production agreement, most of the scenes of "Kowloon Walled City" were actually shot in China, but the exterior scenes had to be shot in Hong Kong.

Today we filmed a scene where the police and triads were in a standoff in the Walled City.

Xie Miao and his team of special police officers were blocked when they tried to enter the Kowloon Walled City. The police wanted to go in to rescue them but were blocked outside by the members of the Walled City.

Due to historical reasons, Kowloon Walled City is a lawless area and has become a lawless place.

The Hong Kong police have no right to enter the walled city to arrest people, and Xie Miao and his group were operating in violation of regulations.

So they can only rely on themselves to get out of this, otherwise no one can help them.

The person responsible for playing the role of the police chief is Zhong Liti.

At this time, Zhong Liti was dressed like a senior police officer, with a righteous face and righteous words.

Well, Zhang Chen happened to see him dressed like this two days ago, but the cut of that uniform was more decent.

Changing the characters was a special modification made by Lu Yang.

He felt that it was inappropriate to have a woman as the rescuer. Although there were women in the real Kowloon Walled City, it was a bit inappropriate for them to appear in the movie.

Given the ruthlessness they displayed, it would have been unreasonable to have a female character without some other actions, but it would not be easy to pass the review if other actions were done, so Zhong Liti was simply given the role of police chief.

It allows you to show your face more, without any risk, and you can also give an explanation to Zhang Chen.

After Zhang Chen arrived, he found out about Lu Yang's action and didn't say anything.

Offering Zhong Li a role was originally a spur-of-the-moment idea. The movie is the most important thing, and he can't put the cart before the horse.

"Click, this one passed~"

Seeing Zhang Chen, Lu Yang immediately shouted "Ka", then ran over happily.

"Senior brother, why are you here?"

"Well, I have to go back to the mainland soon. I came to take a look before I leave. How is it going? Has nothing happened since then?"

"No, he's been very well behaved since the fight between Luian and Zhou Billy."

"Did they fight? When did they fight? Why didn't they call me?" Zhang Chen was a little unhappy.

He definitely wanted to watch the fight between the two masters, and he had reminded Lu Yang a long time ago to call him when the time came.

Lu Yang cried out in injustice: "I did call you. I called you the night before last. You said you didn't have time. You seemed to be exercising at the time. I heard you were breathing heavily~"

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Liti in the distance without leaving a trace.

Zhang Chen was embarrassed. Then he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. At that time, he was in the final sprint stage and fireworks were going off in his mind. Even if he heard it, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.

"Oh, so what was the final result?"

"It's a draw, the fight was intense, the two were about the same strength, and their moves were fierce. I was worried that the other party would be injured in the end and affect the filming, so I called a stop~"

"But since then, the martial artists in the crew have all behaved themselves."

Zhang Chen nodded. People in the martial arts industry are generally rough guys. They make a living by their skills, so they are all very arrogant.

But these people also respect their fists. If your fists are bigger, then you are the boss and they will listen to you.

Billy Chow has long been famous in the Hong Kong film industry and is well-known for his fighting skills.

Although Ruian is a newcomer, the fact that he was able to tie with Chow Billy shows his strength.

The martial arts community still respects people who have strength.

"Okay, since the crew has nothing to do, I will go back to the mainland this afternoon. After I leave, if there is any problem here, you can go to Boss Yang and he will help you solve it~"

Dong Jianqiang had called him several times, urging him to go back. If Zhong Li hadn't mentioned it, he would have left a few days ago.

In addition, New Line has been asking him when he will go to the United States. The actors of "A Quiet Place" have already become familiar with each other, and the preliminary preparations have been completed. The agreed start time is getting closer, but Zhang Chen has not arrived yet, and they are a little worried.

……

That night, Zhang Chen landed at the Capital Airport. Surprisingly, he was on the same flight as Liang Jiahui.

"Why are you back again?"

"I've accepted an event. A big hotel's tailor invited me to be the editor. Besides, the movie "Underworld" is going to be released soon~"

Liang Jiahui has been really popular these days. Three movies were released in October, and he played important roles in all of them.

He is the absolute protagonist in "Taken", an important supporting role in "The Myth", and is also one of the protagonists in the soon to be released "Underworld".

"Didn't Director Du come with you?"

"He has something else to do. He will be two days late."

The release date of "Election" in Hong Kong was earlier than that in mainland China. There was no way around it. The Film Bureau was not satisfied with some parts and sent it back for re-editing, which delayed the release time.

The next day, he appeared in the office area of ​​Xingchen Entertainment.

"Hello Director Zhang~"

"Hello, Director Zhang~" Greetings are heard everywhere. In the company, Zhang Chen likes everyone to call him Director Zhang instead of President Zhang.

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded to everyone, then walked into his office.

The office was spotless, obviously cleaned every day.

Zhang Chen took out the water cup he carried with him and took a sip. The plain boiled water had no taste at all.

Not long after, a greeting of "Hello, President Dong" came from outside, followed by Dong Jianqiang's voice: "Is Director Zhang here?"

"Yes, in his office."

Sure enough, after a while, footsteps were heard outside, and then Dong Jianqiang pushed the door open.

"You kid, you finally decided to come back~"

Zhang Chen glanced at him and said, "I've only been away for a few days, and you're calling me left and right. Why are you in such a hurry to have sex with me?"

Dong Jianqiang spat, "Would I be greedy for your dirty body? I don't know how many girls want to sleep with me every day..."

"Cut~"

Dong Jianqiang looked like he didn't want to joke with you: "You don't care about the company's affairs at all. You don't care about Taken. When My Swordsman started airing, you didn't even ask me about the ratings..."

While talking, Zhang Chen had been rummaging in the cupboard. Dong Jianqiang thought he was looking for tea, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chen actually found a box of wolfberries.

Watching Zhang Chen grabbing wolfberries into the cup, Dong Jianqiang laughed.

"What's wrong? Are you tired from the past two days in Hong Kong? You even drank wolfberries after coming back..."

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "How could it be? It's just health preservation, health preservation, do you understand?"

"You want to maintain your health? You haven't even graduated from college yet, right? You are a serious young man, why do you want to maintain your health? If you want to maintain your health, then it should be the health that people of my age should maintain, okay?"

Zhang Chen ignored him: "You don't understand. You have to start keeping healthy from childhood, otherwise it will be too late when you are this age..."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was talking about everything, Dong Jianqiang also became interested: "Have you been feeling hot and irritable recently, and having night sweats due to damp heat?"

"Ah."

"Still feeling dizzy and having tinnitus?"

"Ah, how do you know?"

"You have kidney deficiency." Dong Jianqiang sneered.

"Get lost, you're the one with kidney deficiency." Zhang Chen certainly couldn't admit to such a thing.

Dong Jianqiang didn't care: "Look, look, this is the most characteristic symptom of kidney deficiency - being stubborn."

The two joked for a while, and finally got down to business: "Taken has been released for 20 days, and the box office has reached 1.71 million. It is expected to exceed million in no time."

Zhang Chen had no interest in whether or not the revenue could break through 200 million, and acted uninterested.

"Brother, you don't take the 200 million yuan club seriously. Currently, only Zhang Yimou is qualified. If you break through, you will be the second one."

"Second is not first, what's the big deal. By the way, how is the preparation for my teacher's movie going?"

"'Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots'? It has already started filming and is currently being filmed in Jiangxi. The crew was assembled by your teacher himself."

Zhang Chen nodded. Teacher Fu was from the Beijing Film Academy, so it was not surprising for him to have a film crew.

"Has it been scheduled?"

"Not yet. We have to wait until the film is out to see how it goes. We'll have to discuss the release date. After all, it's your teacher's film. If the box office is too bad, it won't be good...

By the way, I heard something happened with Lu Yang?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "Something happened, but it has been dealt with. I dissed Fatty Hong in "锵锵三人行", and his apprentice Zou Zhaolong couldn't stand it, so he wanted to hurt Xie Miao to vent Fatty Hong's anger..."

Dong Jianqiang's expression changed suddenly.

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Don't worry, Xie Miao is fine. A stage supervisor helped him block it. Zou Zhaolong also had his leg broken by Lu Yian."

"Well, I will reward these two well when I come back."

The boss used to work for Guang Guang Film Studio. When a film company is distributing its films, there are often some small moves, such as competing for poster resources in cinemas, etc., so there are bound to be some conflicts. The boss really appreciates people who can handle things.

"Well, that script supervisor has a dream of being a director. I've already been promoted to assistant director. I've given him the opportunity to grow. Let's see if he can grasp it. As for Ruian, he should be rewarded. This guy has a high fighting ability and understands the camera. He's a good candidate for being a martial arts director. Let's arrange for him to learn Chinese. If possible, try to keep him in our company."

Dong Jianqiang nodded, and Zhang Chen continued, "This matter is not over yet. Fatty Hong asked Cheng Long to intercede and asked Zou Zhaolong to pour tea and admit his mistake. But he admitted his mistake to Boss Yang, not us. To put it bluntly, he still looks down on us Xingchen Entertainment, so I have made a statement that in the future, we will arrange a movie to compete with Fatty Hong..."

"Fuck it, that's what we should do. These guys think they are so great. We need to beat them until they call us daddy so that they can see their place clearly."

"Well, so keep an eye on him. Whenever their movie 'SPL' is released, 'The Walled City of Kowloon' will be released as well."

"I understand. Okay, stop talking about these unhappy things. Let me tell you something happy. Can you guess what the ratings were for the first broadcast of 'Wulin Wai Zhuan'?"

Dong Jianqiang looked mischievous.

Damn it, didn’t he tell me? Why are you still asking me to guess? But just looking at this guy’s expression, I know it must be a lot higher: “Break 2?”

"That's conservative. The first broadcast broke 3, and the second day broke 6. It has been broadcast for five days now, and the highest ratings have exceeded 9, crushing CCTV's "Dae Jang Geum" at the same time..."

No wonder Dong Jianqiang looked so proud, this result was truly incredible.

But, what did you just say, CCTV’s “Dae Jang Geum”?
