Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 146 Sister Ge VS Stinky-footed Yang

"Why, do you have someone to recommend?"

"No, no, I'm just asking casually."

Chen Xi kept saying no, but in fact someone did recommend someone.

In the past month or so, Chen Xi has had a very high status in the crew of "Dark Raid 2".

Director Ning Hao has a good relationship with him, the leading actress Zeng Li is her senior sister, and his relative Cao Bingkun also treats her as one of his own, and Chen Xi is the producer, so ordinary actors are quite afraid of him.

But Yang Xiaomi is an exception.

Yang Xiaomi was very good at building relationships. She took the initiative to chat with her and share snacks with her. With her deliberate flattery, their relationship gradually warmed up and they became as close as best friends.

In comparison, the other Wang Luodan is not quite up to par.

Wang Luodan has a stubborn personality, doesn't know how to please others, and is a bit arrogant.

Although Chen Xi's relationship with her was not bad, it was limited to work and they did not have much of a personal relationship.

This time when I took on the job of "The Accidental Murderer", I thought of Yang Xiaomi and wanted to help her.

But she still remembered that she recommended Wen Zhang to Zhang Chen when she ate Wangjing Xiaoyao last time, but was rejected directly.

She thought Zhang Chen hated this kind of behavior, so when he asked her just now, he denied it.

……

The wrap-up party in the evening was not held in anything fancy, but at an ordinary restaurant, and the crew booked the entire restaurant.

Zhang Chen has always felt that the wrap-up banquet should be down-to-earth. Going to a high-end restaurant always lacks a bit of worldly flavor, and the taste is just so-so.

The entire crew set up five tables in total. Assuming there were ten people at each table, that meant there were about 50 people, which was nearly a generation more than when he was filming "The Dark One".

But this is normal, as he had a makeshift team at that time and kept everything simple.

We had already succeeded with Darkseid 2, so there's no need to be so hesitant.

Moreover, as a sequel, the success of "Dark Raid 2" no longer relies on suspense to a large extent. After all, everyone already knows what the monster looks like and that the cave is a cemetery.

That requires excellent production.

So the budget directly increased to 400 million. Although the publicity costs were added, "Black 2" is a sequel and has the foundation of the previous work, so the publicity actually does not cost much.

When they entered the restaurant, the others were already seated and were waiting for their arrival to start the meal.

A few people entered the restaurant and walked towards the main table. From a distance, they saw Lao Li, Zeng Li, Yang Xiaomi and Wang Luodan who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Chen and others coming, everyone stood up.

"Director Zhang, Director Zhang~"

The greetings are endless.

Zhang Chen also greeted them one by one: "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I must have a few more drinks later."

"Yang Xiaomi, Wang Luodan, um, Wang Luodan, I met your brother a few days ago..."

Wang Luodan was stunned: "My brother?"

"Yeah, aren't you Sister Ge~"

"Hahaha~"

The people around me looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and they were all having a hard time holding it in.

Zhang Chen was just joking. Wang Luodan looked a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Zhang Chen immediately waved his hands: "Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously..."

Wang Luodan smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Chen was afraid that the girl didn't know how to joke, so he didn't continue.

The nickname 'Sister Ge' actually came from Zhang Chen.

He had memories of his later lives, and once when he was talking to Ning Hao on the phone, he habitually called her "Sister Ge".

After others found out, they thought more and more that they resembled her, and then the nickname "Sister Ge" became popular in the crew.

The same goes for Yang Xiaomi's "Stinky Foot Yang".

This has become a regular joke within the crew, and everyone makes fun of it every time we get together.

Although the crew of "Dark Rising 2" is a horror film, the filming was actually very joyful.

We are like a family.

Everyone took their seats, Zeng Li sat on Zhang Chen's left and Chen Xi sat on Zhang Chen's right.

"Director Ning, please say a few words to everyone~"

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Chen started to make a noise. Originally, everyone wanted him to say something, but how could Zhang Chen steal his brother's opportunity? Today was the wrap-up party for "Dark Invasion 2", and the main character was the director Ning Hao.

"Come on~"

Ning Hao declined, but was immediately carried up by Zhang Chen. Amid the jeers of the crowd, he stood up with a glass of wine in his hand.

“The filming of Black 2 took a total of 41 days. During these 41 days, I worked closely with everyone and finally completed this work.

To be honest, when Zhang Chen first decided to let me direct "Black 2", I was very nervous.

The box office of the first film was so good that I was afraid I would mess up if I were to take on the second one.

Zhang Chen said there was nothing to be afraid of, a man should not be a coward.

Then I took over on a whim, and luckily I had everyone's support.

We are a young team, but we have created miracles before. I, Hill, can create a second time. I encourage everyone here. "

Ning Hao was quite emotional when speaking, and at the end, he raised his glass and said, "I wish that Dark Invasion 2 will be a big hit at the box office!"

Everyone stood up, raised their glasses and shouted: "I wish "Dark Invasion 2" a big box office success~"

The opening was quite sentimental, and then people started drinking and chatting.

Many people came up to toast Ning Hao, and even more people came up to toast Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was not arrogant and accepted everyone who came to him.

Many of these people were members of the team that had worked with him on the first film of "Dark Invasion", and they were brothers who had shared hardships.

After the first wave of toasts, the crew members began to settle their internal grievances and fought each other.

Zhang Chen finally got the chance to eat some food.

Chen Xi next to him suddenly said, "Yang Xiaomi, why don't you two switch seats so that I can settle my personal grudge with Manager Dong..."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and gave a subtle wink to Yang Xiaomi next to him.

Yang Xiaomi knew that this was her good sister creating opportunities for her.

In the afternoon, Chen Xi secretly called Yang Xiaomi and told her that Zhang Chen was casting for his new play and there was a role that was quite suitable for her, but Chen Xi couldn't speak up.

This was the scene just now.

The two changed seats, and Yang Xiaomi naturally sat next to Zhang Chen. The sound of Chen Xi and Dong Jianqiang drinking together could be heard nearby.

Before Yang Xiaomi did anything, Ge Meime beside her became very anxious.

In the afternoon, Chang Jihong called her specifically to inform her that Zhang Chen had a new play that would start filming after the new year and that there was a role of a daughter and she could try to get the role.

She was originally still looking for an opportunity, but she didn't expect Yang Xiaomi to take action first.

Even though they get along like sisters every day on the crew, they will definitely fight to the death when encountering something like this.

Even sisters are useless.

Yang Xiaomi also noticed that Wang Luodan looked at her with a strange look in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, I have a good relationship with Chen Xi.

She didn't get any news about Zhang Chen's new play. From this, it can be seen that Li Xiaowan is indeed not as good as Chang Jihong as an agent.

There is not even basic information channels.

Don't even talk about arguing.

By the time you know the news, the roles have already been decided. How can you still play?
In the entertainment industry, what matters is your connections.

Connections are information, connections are opportunities, connections are resources.

"Director Zhang, I offer you a toast and congratulations on becoming a billionaire director~"

Yang Xiaomi raised her glass, her voice carrying a special magnetism.

Zhang Chen didn't care. Just as he was about to raise his glass, Ge Meimei beside him said, "I also congratulate Director Zhang for his The Shallows, which has grossed over 100 million yuan~"

After Sister Ge finished speaking, she felt a murderous aura enveloping her. She knew without guessing that it was Yang Stinky Foot.

so what?
She just wanted to ruin Yang Stinky Foot's plans.

You still want to be alone with Zhang Chen? Dream on!

Even if Chen Xi helps you, it won’t work!

Zhang Chen had no doubts and drank from his glass.

The eyes of the other two met in the air, with lightning and thunder, and murderous aura in the air.
