Chapter 314
Xu Ke, Yu Dong, Shin Nansheng and other seven main creators couldn't help being stunned when they saw Zhou Xia coming in.

Zhou Xia's look looks more colorful and stunning than the portraits of movie characters drawn by illustrators.

They looked at Zhou Xia up carefully.

The illustrator used Chen Kun as a template to draw Yuhuatian and Fengli Dao. In contrast, Zhou Xia's appearance is not so feminine. His face is thinner and smaller, with sharp water chestnuts and more masculine.

His Yuhuatian appearance exudes a fierce and domineering style in the deep and feminine!
He was dressed in a white python robe, a lion belt around his waist, and a big black cloak. During his actions, he vividly displayed the coercion and aura of the nine thousand-year-old Xichang leader Yu Huatian.

After Xu Xu and the others looked at it, they all nodded in satisfaction and asked Zhou Xia to act in a few scenes to test whether his acting skills passed the test.

It took half an hour to try out some of Yuhuatian's roles. Everyone approved of Zhou Xia's performance, and asked him to change his costume and try the role of Feng Lidao.

Feng Lidao Zhou Xia is even better at playing the role. He fully played this character who is both good and evil, which made everyone in the director team even more satisfied.

After all, Zhou Xia already possessed Feng Li Dao's cleverness and flamboyance.

After the audition was over, after the director, screenwriter, and producer communicated, they handed over the follow-up matters to the producer, Yu Dong, and asked him to talk to Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia thanked the director, screenwriter and others, and followed Yu Donggua to his office to discuss specific matters.

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and Yu Dong acted like a boss, discussing matters with Zhou Xia in a business-like manner.

"Zhou Xia, the director team is quite satisfied with you, and basically confirmed that you will play this role, but I can't agree here, you still can't get this role, do you understand?"

Zhou Xia was a little surprised by Yu Dong's attitude.

He could tell from the other party's tone and expression that the other party either didn't want to give him the role; or they wanted to suppress his salary and make him pay more.

Zhou Xia soon understood why Yu Dong did this.

He announced that "Charlotte Annoyance" will be released on February 2st for the Spring Festival, while "I Know Women's Hearts" produced by Berner will be released on February 1nd.

There is a positive competition between the two films one after the other, and he jumped in the queue at the back. This is a kind of provocative behavior in Dongdong's eyes, which is very unfriendly.

Moreover, Yu Dong has always been very ambitious and has a strong desire for revenge. He also has a background of seeking men, and Yu Dong has a feud with Zhang Puping, and he even becomes hostile and hostile to the old schemer.

Whenever the movies of Xinhuamian and Lao Mouzi are released, Berner will inevitably carry out corresponding sniping.

From Yu Dong's point of view, Bernard works closely with the Hong Kong circle and has more excellent directors, while Zhang Puping has only one old trickster. As long as the old trickster is kicked out of the altar, he can defeat Xin Huamian and let the Bernard won.

Then, during the various golden periods in China in the future, Bernard will have one less enemy and can get a bigger box office cake.

This is not just a commercial consideration, but more because of the feud between Berner and Xinhuamian in 2006.

In 2006, "Scarred City" and "Golden Armor" fought for the big cake of the Lunar New Year file, and the "Battle of Two Cities" or "Battle of Yellow City" took place, which completely made Zhang Ping and Yu Dong feud.

From the very beginning, "Scarred City" produced by Bernard, directed by Liu Fuqiang, starring Tony Leung and Kim Sung-wu has been bundled with "The Golden Flower" for promotion, claiming that their film quality is better, and they are never afraid of celebrating the new year. Then I met "Golden Armor".

At that time, the film "Scarred City" was not only released by Berner, but also Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao of Optical Fiber. enthusiasm.

That's why it deliberately entered the Lunar New Year archives selectively, and carried out bundled publicity to highlight the quality advantages of "Scarred City", hoping to win the competition for the Lunar New Year archives with quality and word of mouth.

Their judgment was not wrong!

But at that time, mainland audiences basically went to theaters for blockbuster movies, so movies like "Scarred City" still couldn't collide with "Golden Armor".

And who is Zhang Puping, a reckless character who is famous in the entire movie circle!

How could he not respond to provocations from others?
"Golden Armor" is Lao Mouzi and Gong Huang's reunion after 14 years, starring Fa Ge and Asian king Jay Chou, why is he afraid of it?
Faced with the popularity of "Scarred City" forcibly tied up, Zhang Puping directly clamored: "I just want to eat all the box office at the end of the year!" ', '"Scared City" is on the same schedule as us, so it will die miserably! ', '"The Good Man in Three Gorges" let it run its course."

Zhang Puping has offended many people with these cannonballs, and he has the tendency of "my flowers bloom and kill a hundred flowers", but he has always been like this, and everyone is used to it.

Seeing this situation, the rest of the small and medium-sized films changed their schedules one after another, fearing that they would not be able to dodge in time.

Yu Donglai's provocative and bundled publicity, in Zhang Puping's eyes, is here to give away people's heads, and he is also happy to cooperate with the hype to increase the popularity of the movie.

Originally, this was nothing, and mutual hype was beneficial to both parties, but Zhang Puping had a more ruthless move!
On the eve of the film's release, Zhang Puping suddenly announced that "The Golden Armor" will be released on December 9 nine days earlier, which will squeeze the "exclusive schedule" of "Scarred City" on December 12 to one week. Not anymore.

Seeing the golden army "soldiers coming to "City"", Yu Dong was a little at a loss for a while, and tried his best to postpone the release of "Scarred City" by half a month.

This not only allowed "Golden Armor" to be released first, taking the lead, but also monopolized the entire prime time in mid-December, occupying the Lunar New Year stalls for ten days!

Although thereafter, Yu Dong aimed at the "monopoly and exclusive screening agreement signed by "Golden Armor" and the digital theater chain" and launched a fierce bombardment, but the opportunity was lost and the general situation was gone. Standing tall, "Golden Armor" swallowed mountains and rivers, swept the box office of 06 million, and created a new box office record in Chinese film history!

And "Scarred City" only earned 7400 million box office in the end!
From then on, Yu Dong and Zhang Puping formally became mortal enemies.

Since then, in the 09 Lunar New Year file "October Besieged City", seeing the reputation of "Three Guns Surprise" collapsed, it decisively raised the file to stop it. Both word of mouth and box office defeated "Three Guns".

The last time was in 2011, "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" and "Thirteen Hairpins" fought again in the Lunar New Year file!
In order to avenge "Three Guns", Zhang Puping refused to provide copies to [-] theaters owned by Bernard. " was raised and released on the same day as "Thirteen Hairpins".

As a result, neither of the two films got any benefits, and none of the box office exceeded [-] million.

But in general, Yu Dong pulled "Thirteen Hairpins" out of the film due to some economic losses, resulting in a loss for the film, and indirectly became the trigger for the two to break up.

The battle between the two finally ended with his victory over several years of fighting between Berner and Xinhuamian.

Now even if Li Lianjie's face and the approval of the director team make Yu Dong willing to let him participate in this movie, he will definitely try his best to get the maximum benefit.

Zhou Xia wanted to understand this, and without the excitement of participating in this movie before, she calmed down and looked at Yu Dong with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, in fact, my schedule is also very tight, so I may not be able to arrange a vacancy."

Zhou Xia's participation in this movie is mainly to expand the way of action movies, to learn how to shoot action movies, and to contribute to Yuhuatian's outstanding role.

If you really want it, then there is no need to force it, after all, his original work plan is very full.

If I star in this movie, I will definitely change other work plans.

Yu Dong was slightly taken aback, looked at Zhou Xia who had a calm face, and said doubtfully: "I forgot, you are still the boss of Xiahua Film and Television, and acting seems to you to be just a spare time after work. I want to keep acting. Otherwise, with such a good opportunity, you wouldn’t have said such things.”

"Hehe, I can't say that. I want to participate in this movie. It's all arranged and recommended by Brother Jie. In addition, I learn martial arts because of him. If I can cooperate with him and Director Xu to make an action movie, That is of course a wish.

But now it seems that it is not convenient for Mr. Yu to arrange me, so of course I can't force it, and I will just look for opportunities to cooperate in the future.

After all, this role was originally owned by Brother Kun, and his acting skills are obvious to all. This role is very suitable for him, and I don't really want to participate in this competition. "

"Zhou Xia, you misunderstood me. I invited you to audition, not just because of Brother Jie's face! The director and I have watched the video of your martial arts performance at the premiere of "The Hawthorn Tree". We are very satisfied with your skills. .

This drama is also an action drama in ancient costumes, and the most important thing is to watch fighting. Of course, martial arts is the first choice. I think Chen Kun will understand this. "

Yu Dong explained to Zhou Xia with a face of embarrassment.

His previous attitude was mainly because he was dissatisfied that Zhou Xia's movie was scheduled to be released a day before their movie, and secondly, he didn't like Zhou Xiamou's identity as a boy.

And the most important thing is to lower Zhou Xia's salary and make Zhou Xia agree to other more conditions, such as cooperating more with publicity, writing theme songs for the movie, and so on.

"If that's the case, I do have an advantage over Brother Kun."

Zhou Xia said casually, and then said: "However, I am really short on time. If we really cooperate, we can only join the group according to the schedule, and we can't stay with the group all the time."

"That's easy to say, as long as you are willing to cooperate with the film's promotion and make other contributions to the film, we are willing to provide you with convenience." Yu Dong said generously, holding back his personal emotions.

Zhou Xia felt relieved after hearing the words, and said happily: "Yes, I can write the theme "mv" for the movie, and I can participate in the main promotion of the movie. As for other details, let my agent come and negotiate with your company."

"Well, you can ask her to come here now, we have already finalized the filming, and the movie will start shooting in eight days."

"Okay, I'll call now."

Seeing that Yu Dong gave in so easily in the face of interests, Zhou Xia was also very satisfied, and immediately called Yang Tianzhen and asked her to bring someone over to negotiate with Berna.

"Hehe, let's talk about the release of the movie during the Spring Festival while we have time?" Yu Dong endured the depression in his heart, took a long breath, and tested Zhou Xia.
