Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 428 Jing Tian, ​​did you eat spicy noodles?
Jing Tian left without a word.

No entanglement!

This gave Zhang Chen a temporary relief.

But not sure.

The other party may really not want to take the next step, or may just be shy, or may not have figured it out yet.
In short, Zhang Chen would not worry if it was any other actress, but it is hard to say about Da Tiantian. This girl has been protected too well, and she may not understand many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Chen decided to wait and see what happens, to use calmness as a countermeasure, not to provoke others first, and to see clearly what their attitude is.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Chen also prepared to get up. Since he was on the crew, of course he had to follow the crew's schedule.

After breakfast, I met Jing Tian in the dressing room.

I didn't avoid it deliberately, but it would be bad if I tried too hard.

"Xiao Tian~"

"Director Zhang~"

Jing Tian saw light in his eyes, which was not a good sign.

"Had breakfast?"

"have eaten."

Zhang Chen pretended to chat for a while and then left, just in time to meet Lu Zheng who pushed the door open.

"Mr. Lu~"

"Director Zhang~"

Judging from Lu Zheng’s expression, he probably knows nothing.

After knowing each other for such a long time, Zhang Chen has roughly figured out the identities of the two.

Lu Zheng should be like Jing Tian's guardian in the circle, responsible for preventing her from being contaminated by the mess in the circle.

Am I considered a mess?
Feeling that Lu Zheng might chop him into pieces with an axe at any time, Zhang Chen left decisively.

The filming on the second day was normal. Zhang Chen stayed in the crew and didn't give Jing Tian much guidance.

Jing Tian didn't need his guidance. She had done targeted training for several months and could handle most shots with ease. The one yesterday was a special case.

James Wan felt that the filming went very smoothly because the storyboard script was so complete that he hardly needed to think and could just shoot as it was written.

Lu Zheng approached James Wan and whispered something to him. James Wan announced, "Come on, everyone take a break. Our lead actress, Ms. Jing Tian, ​​will treat everyone to some fruit~"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cheer and the staff carried the fruits in.

James Wan put down the director's baton and his assistant handed him a fruit plate. He asked Zhang Chen to sit over and they all ate together.

"Zhang, the atmosphere in the domestic crew is really great. Our leading actress comes every few days to treat us to such a meal. I feel a little embarrassed to eat so much~"

Domestic film crews are much more particular about interpersonal relationships than those in Europe and the United States. Some big-name actors often treat the entire crew to lamb skewers or milk tea or something like that.

Zhang Chen picked up a piece of Hami melon with a toothpick and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with a crunching sound.

James Wan was not polite either, he ate heartily and said while eating: "Today went so smoothly, you are such a lucky star, I found that everything has become easier since you came~"

Zhang Chen replied with a smile: "Then this good luck will last for a while. I will stay in the crew for a few days..."

"Haha, I hope you stay until the crew finishes filming~" James Wan was also amused by him.

“How many shots can you take in a day?”

"If it were Hollywood, there would be about ten. Here, we can usually get more than twenty. But today is special. With your good luck, we have already shot nearly twenty shots in just half a day. In a day, we can probably shoot forty shots..."

As he said this, he grabbed another small tomato and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt it burst and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

Hollywood enjoys an eight-hour workday, but there are also various union restrictions, so if you want to work overtime, you have to pay overtime wages.

It’s different in China, where it generally takes around 16 hours, so once James Wan arrives here, the number of shots can be doubled.

Today was even more exaggerated, I took twenty photos in just half a day.

"If we keep this pace, we can wrap up in about a month."

James Wan attributed the credit to Zhang Chen's good luck, but Zhang Chen knew that it had nothing to do with luck.

First of all, the preparations for "Crocodile Storm" were already very complete, and almost all the shots had storyboards, which greatly saved thinking time.

Secondly, director James Wan does not speak Chinese, so there were some problems in getting along with the crew.

After these few days, the crew has figured out James Wan's habits. This means the crew has completed their running-in process and their tacit understanding has increased, so the speed can be increased.

"What are you talking about?"

Jing Tian came over with a fruit plate.

"Oh, nothing. I was just saying that Zhang brought us good luck and sped up the filming progress of the crew~"

Because Jing Tian speaks English, there is no problem for James Wan to communicate with him.

Jing Tian looked at Zhang Chen with a smile: "Yes, our Director Zhang is indeed a lucky man~"

"Look, our leading lady thinks so too."

Zhang Chen smiled and waved his hands. He always felt that Jing Tian looked at him differently than usual. He wondered if it was a psychological effect.

The three chatted for a while and then the filming continued.

During every break, Jing Tian would come closer to Zhang Chen, and gradually, even other people in the crew noticed the difference.

It seems that our female lead is very interested in Director Zhang.

During another break, when Jing Tian was not around, James Wan came over and winked at him: "Zhang, is Miss Jing Tian your admirer~"

It can be seen that the two are not in a relationship, so they can only be in a relationship of admirer and admired...

"No, No, No, it's not what you think. We are just good friends..."

"Haha, I understand, friends in that category~"

Zhang Chen was speechless, feeling like he couldn't explain it clearly to this foreigner.

"What are you talking about?" Jing Tian came over again.

"Uh~" Zhang Chen did not comment.

James Wan replied with a smile: "I was talking to Zhang and asked him to guide your acting more. After his guidance yesterday, you made obvious progress today~"

James Wan thought he was creating an opportunity for Zhang Chen, but he didn't expect that this sentence would directly embarrass both of them.

Guiding acting?

I did give guidance, directly on the bed.

They both recalled the scene from last night. Jing Tian blushed, while Zhang Chen's face was a little thicker, with no change.
But when he saw the way Jing Tian looked at him, he felt even more unsure.

This little girl was obviously interested in him.

To be honest, Jing Tian is a good dating partner. She is beautiful, nice, humble, and most importantly, innocent.

She is extremely rare in the entertainment industry, which is also related to her powerful background. No one can or dares to seduce her.

When it comes to dating, it is really the best choice.

But the problem is that Zhang Chen doesn't want to fall in love.

He is only in his twenties, still in the prime of his youth.

If he wanted, it wouldn't be difficult for him to be a bridegroom every night.

Of course Zhang Chen didn't have any either. He was relatively restrained when it came to women. He didn't think of being a gentleman, but he didn't think of being a sex devil either.

But there is no need to put shackles on yourself too early~
No, this won't work, I have to make it clear~
Zhang Chen decided to cut the Gordian knot~
In martial arts novels, this is called slashing the love thread with a sword~
In the postpartum care of sows, this is called castration~
In the Xianxia novels, this is called "the heart of Tao is empty and clear, and only seeks immortality~
During another break, Jing Tian came over again: "Brother Zhang Chen~"

Ok?
Wait a minute~
How did he become Brother Zhang Chen?
When was the name changed?
While Zhang Chen was still in shock, Jing Tian had already come over obediently and handed him a bag of spicy strips: "I brought some snacks, please have some~"

Miss Jing was unspeakably gentle at this moment, and Zhang Chen felt like he was under a charm.

No, I can't go on like this. You're trying to tempt me with spicy snacks.
The guys around seemed to want to create opportunities for them, so they all hid far away. Even Lu Zheng disappeared at this moment.

It is better to do it today than to wait for another day. Zhang Chen decided to make things clear now.

"Brother Zhang Chen, please eat, it's delicious~"

Zhang Chen took a quick look. Weilong is a big brand, high-end product.
Jing Tian was still being polite, but Zhang Chen resisted the temptation of spicy noodles and said in a serious tone, "Xiao Tian, ​​let's chat~"

"Okay, what to talk about?" Jing Tian didn't notice the change in Zhang Chen's tone and looked happy. But when she saw his serious expression, she realized something was wrong and a trace of panic flashed across her little face.

"Hmm~"

Zhang Chen said seriously: "This...what happened last night...I'm sorry.

I don’t know how I became like that. What I want to say is that you are a good girl, but I am not a good man. I am a scumbag and not a good match for you. Moreover, I don’t have any intention of falling in love in the short term..."

Zhang Chen finished speaking in one breath. The main idea was: Last night was an accident. I don't care about it, and you shouldn't care about it either.
Zhang Chen cursed himself in his heart as a 'scumbag'.

"Oh……"

Jing Tian's face, which was filled with a happy smile just now, was now full of grievance, and her eyes were misty, which made her look cute but also pitiful.

"Then...Brother Zhang Chen, I'll go back first~"

Look at how kind he is. Even at this time, he is still Zhang Chen~
The little girl ran away, leaving several water drop-shaped marks on the ground.

Zhang Chen himself felt uncomfortable as well, as if he had done something bad.

Then, in the following time, Jing Tian's performance level dropped sharply, with continuous NGs. James Wan frowned and wanted to scold her several times, but he had just eaten someone else's fruit...

Others also noticed that Jing Tian was not in a good condition.

"That's all for today. Everyone adjust yourselves and continue filming tomorrow~"

The crew finished work and the props team packed up the props.

It is convenient to shoot in a studio. There is no need to drag props around. Just lock the door of the studio.

On the way to the commuter bus, James Wan glared at Zhang Chen: "What did you do just now? Why did Jing Tian's condition suddenly become so bad~"

Zhang Chen didn't say anything, and James Wan didn't ask any further questions. He knew what was going on without him saying anything, it was nothing more than those trivial emotional things.

He was shooting himself in the foot. Who were they to bring them together? "I'll be back tomorrow~"

After a long silence, Zhang Chen suddenly said this.

He has no choice but to go back. If he stays here, Jing Tian will be affected.

If you leave earlier, maybe Jingtian will be able to come out of it earlier.

"Hmm~"

James Wan also understood and did not try to keep him.

In the hotel room at night, Zhang Chen was considering whether to send a text message to inform Jing Tian, ​​but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Come quietly, leave quietly~
Turn off the lights, go to sleep, the flight is at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning~
Just when he was about to fall asleep, there was a beep, followed by the sound of an electronic lock turning, and someone opened his room~
Before Zhang Chen could react, a body wrapped in a fragrant breeze crawled into his bed.

I couldn't see who it was in the dark, but I clearly smelled that familiar smell last night~
"It's you……"

“…Don’t say anything…”

Rustle, hum, hum~
The enemy will arrive at the battlefield in five seconds~
Da Tiantian also did some psychological preparation before coming

Zhang Chen is young but talented

Before he even graduated from university, he was already a famous director both at home and abroad, and every movie he made could create miracles.

A solid blue chip stock
She had also heard about some of Zhang Chen's romantic affairs, and it was said that he had an affair with Fan Binbin.

Originally, Jing Tian didn't think that he and Zhang Chen would have any relationship beyond friendship, but everything that happened last night happened inexplicably.

Respect and admiration turned into friction, and Jing Tian inevitably had a little more longing for the future life~
So Director Zhang became Big Brother Zhang Chen, and if things go further, he would become Brother Chen, just like Huang Rong's Brother Jing.

But Zhang Chen, this unromantic guy, chose to expose it in person, and her beautiful vision that lasted for just one morning burst like a bubble.

Beautiful bubbles, although there are fireworks for a moment

All your promises, although they are too fragile
But love is like a bubble, if you can see through it
What's sad

Although he had never heard of "Bubble", Jing Tian felt exactly the same at this moment.

I want to give up, but I can't bear to do so. I just don't think about it and follow my heart.
Zhang Chen suddenly remembered something: "How did you get the door card to my room?"

Jing Tian did not answer him, but recalled a sentence she read on the Internet: If you want to keep a man's heart, you must first keep his stomach, but she can't cook.

Let him feel comfortable.
Zhang Chen's fighting ability was obviously stronger than hers. She thought of the little secret book she had read online and made up her mind...

Suddenly, Zhang Chen enjoyed the top-level service, and was surprised and delighted. However, his expression changed immediately, "Jing Tian, ​​did you eat spicy noodles again tonight?"

……

The next day, Zhang Chen was unable to leave because he was injured and felt a burning pain.

Jing Tian's face was full of shame and I really didn't mean it.

However, James Wan found that Jing Tian's condition had returned to normal and she no longer made excessive NGs.

Love is amazing~
Anyone with eyes can tell what’s going on with Jing Tian’s current condition.

The other party was like a young wife. Whenever she had time, she would come to Zhang Chen and serve him tea and water. This made Zhang Chen's assistant look resentful and said, "Miss Jing Tian, ​​you are taking away my job."

In the next few days, Zhang Chen was unable to leave.

The one who tastes the marrow knows how delicious it is. It’s not Zhang Chen who is talking about it, but Da Tiantian.

By the way, I taught her a truth: art requires constant communication and mutual learning, so that we can learn from each other's strengths and overcome our weaknesses.

This is probably what is called the same frequency.
The news that Zhang Chen was in Hengdian soon reached Xu Yongan's ears, and then the two of them made an appointment to go together to check out the two studios that had just been completed.

"This is an underwater studio, covering an area of ​​30 square meters and meters high..."

There is a huge pool in the studio. The pool is built into a semi-slope shape from low to high, and the highest point is more than ten meters above the water surface.

This thing was designed according to Zhang Chen's idea. Its main function is to create waves, but they made some improvements.

"This pool can simulate the waves of a 12-level typhoon, and it can be divided, so the 1,000-square-meter water area can be divided into three parts... Look at our roof, it is curved, and with the green screen, it can simulate the sky effect..."

There are other designs on both sides of the pool. There is a beach on one side and a cliff on the other side, which can simulate a waterfall.

In the distance there is a water tank made of transparent glass, which is also used for shooting underwater scenes.

If only he had these when he was filming “The Shallows”, where he would have had to scout locations everywhere.

Zhang Chen sighed and followed Xu Yongan to see another studio.

Just looking at the appearance is amazing.

Xu Yongan's tone was full of pride: "This studio is 100 meters high, 1100 meters long and 80 meters wide. It is currently the largest studio in the world. It was specially built for the filming of Pacific Rim. We have already applied for the Guinness World Record..."

Hengdian Group is really bold. Zhang Chen originally intended to build a tower of 100 or meters high, but Hengdian directly built it to meters, completing the task in one step.

If you are going to do something, do it the biggest one. The so-called first place of Pinewood Studios immediately became history.

When we entered the studio, it was unexpectedly empty.

A building one hundred meters high will not shock people, but the interior space one hundred meters high can really shock people.

There are also various lifting equipment in the studio to facilitate future shooting.

"Director Zhang, the two studios promised by Hengdian are now in place. If you need any supporting equipment in the later stage, please inform us in advance so that we can prepare in advance."

For "Pacific Rim", everyone in Hengdian gave the green light and gave the film whatever it wanted.

In China, "A Quiet Place" became popular again as the opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival, and many media reported on it.

Occasionally, you can hear a sentence or two about "Jasmine Flower" in media reports.

"Jasmine" is a movie starring Zhang Ziyi. It was completed in 04, but has never been released because theaters were not optimistic about it.

Zhang Ziyi has become popular these days because of the promotion of "Night Banquet", so the producers quickly released the movie to make as much money as possible while the popularity continues.

……

Huayi Headquarters
The Wang brothers hid in the house to discuss the matter among themselves. After a while, they reached a consensus and then called Feng Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, The Banquet needs to be released as soon as possible. We borrowed 100 million yuan for this movie, and the pressure is a bit great..."

"Yes, Huayi's debt ratio has never been so high. Every day when I open my eyes, I think about how much money I owe the bank. I can't eat well and I can't sleep well..."

"Okay, I agree that it will be released as soon as possible, so which date is better?"

The Wang brothers looked at each other and thought that it would be fine as long as Feng Xiaogang didn't object.

Wang Zhonglei: “Is July too late?”

Feng Xiaogang frowned: "July, isn't that too rushed? It was originally scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday, but now it's suddenly moved forward half a year..."

Wang Zhonglei spread his hands and said, "The competition during the Lunar New Year holiday is too fierce. Zhang Yimou's Curse of the Golden Flower and Zhang Chen's Painted Skin are both confirmed to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday. Before that, there are also The Legend of Mi Yue and The Warring States. China Film Group asked us to avoid it as much as possible..."

Feng Xiaogang knew that Wang Zhonglei's leaving China Film Group was just an excuse, but he didn't say anything.

He still has some self-awareness about himself.

Knowing that they can't beat Lao Mouzi and Zhang Chen, these two are not human beings.

Seeing that Feng Xiaogang had no objection, Wang Zhonglei continued to work.

"The 11th slot has "Baby Project" and "Crazy Racing". I have heard from others that both films are of very high quality. "Baby Project" is Cheng Long's transitional work, and "Crazy Racing" continues the style of "Stone". The box office should not be bad. However, the 11th slot cannot accommodate three big films, so they have to be moved forward..."

This time it was Wang Zhongjun who said, "The summer season in August is full of Hollywood blockbusters. In order to promote Zhang Chen, Han Sanping deliberately moved all the Hollywood blockbusters to August, leaving July empty. So I wonder if "The Banquet" can also be released in July..."

This time it was Feng Xiaogang's turn to frown: "Directly compete with Zhang Chen?"

"Not really~"

“A Quiet Place was released on July 7th. In the whole month of July, there was only one film, Dragon Tiger Gate, that could be considered its rival. We were released on the same day as Dragon Tiger Gate, 11 days later than A Quiet Place, just in time to avoid its limelight. There are still more than ten days left, which is just enough for us to reap the box office…”

The Wang brothers had obviously discussed it beforehand and wanted to take advantage of "A Quiet Place" but completely ignored "Dragon Tiger Gate".

Just kidding~
Feng Xiaogang’s movies can’t beat “A Quiet Place”, but can they beat “Dragon Tiger Gate”?
……

After the opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival, Han Han posted a blog reviewing "A Quiet Place".

【

The setting of this film is very novel, in that no sound can be made.

The director set up a monster that will chase you to death once you make a sound.

This is a very new concept. Zhang Chen told us that making a movie requires not only skill but also imagination.

Fan Binbin contributed the best acting skills of her acting career in the film. From then on, she could proudly announce to the public that she was no longer a vase actor.

My favorite part is the opening paragraph. The world view is established very quickly, and the background of the whole story is explained clearly through the child's disobedience.

Of course, there are some bugs in the movie. For example, the plot advancement is a bit deliberate, the nails appear too coincidentally, and in this situation, why do you still want to have a baby? Is it so difficult to find a condom?

But overall it's a good movie.

I won’t spoil too much, just watch it for yourself.

I can only say that my first thought after watching the movie was: those who snore when sleeping are dead, and those who survive are those who don’t snore when sleeping, haha~
】

Han Han's blog post is interesting and has been forwarded a lot.

He did not post this blog because he was contacted by Xingchen Entertainment. It was completely Han Han's spontaneous act.

In fact, Han Han has been very fond of reviewing movies in the past two years.

If the movie is good, he will praise it; if it is bad, he will criticize it.

Even though "A Quiet Place" is Zhang Chen's movie, he did not just praise it, but still pointed out the unpleasant parts.

At this stage, comments that tell the truth are rare because they may offend people.

So everyone recognizes Han Han.

In particular, Zhang Chen also replied to a message below: The opinions have been received, and some of the complaints will be answered in the sequel~
Netizens said: What a pity, what a pity, I thought these two would fight each other~
Another netizen: What are you thinking? They are good friends and comrades who have fought together.
Could you please tell me in detail how you fought and who you fought against?

My friend, has your family just got internet access?
Don’t you know about the battle between the two of them and Lu Chuan’s father and son’s relatives and friends?

I was too young at that time, please tell me in detail~
The two were beaten up by Lu Chuan and his son and their relatives and friends, and were attacked from both sides.
Are you a novelist above? How can you be so good at writing?

They were attacked from both sides. It was obvious that these two ganged up on Lu Chuan's family and friends. Even Ai Dajin was beaten and left the group.
