Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 165 It smells so good
Liu Xiaoli probably wanted to make a finishing move, but she reminded Zhang Chen that Liu Tianxian was still filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

As for her good acting skills, and the fact that she was praised by Zhang Da Huzi, Zhang Chen just thought she was talking nonsense.

Liu Tianxian’s acting is good. Which eye of yours can see good acting?

I'm afraid he's blind.

When people praise Liu Tianxian, they always praise her beauty and hard work. When have you ever seen anyone praise her acting skills?

In most of the dramas she has starred in so far, she has a zombie face. The one with the richest expressions is probably the earliest "The Story of a Noble Family", but her acting skills are not bad enough to be praised.

In Zhang Chen's opinion, Liu Tianxian was able to become famous because she was lucky and had caught up with the times.

The roles she played in several dramas after her debut, such as Wang Yuyan in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Zhao Linger in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", are all roles that are extremely consistent with her personal temperament.

There is a saying in the circle that for a play, choosing the right actors is half the battle.

The same statement is also true in reverse.

Liu Tianxian became popular simply because the characters in these dramas just happened to match her temperament.

In fact, the situations of Liu Tianxian and Jing Tian are similar. Both of them have no acting skills and rely on their money, but Liu Tianxian's luck is really against the sky.

Jing Tian’s background was obviously more impressive, but unfortunately he had bad luck, so he got a completely different result.

"Aunt Liu, Yifei and I are from the same class, so I'll just call you Aunt Liu..."

Liu Xiaoli thought that Zhang Chen agreed and was trying to get close to her, so she happily agreed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen asked, "Aunt Liu, I want to ask, if Yifei gets the role of An An, what about "The Condor Heroes"? If I remember correctly, she is the heroine."

Liu Xiaoli's expression froze: "What should I do? Of course I should shoot them at the same time."

Zhang Chen shook his head: "That's impossible. The entire movie "The Accidental Murderer" was shot in Thailand. You can't shoot two movies at the same time. You either have to choose one or take a leave."

"Ask for leave?" Liu Xiaoli looked a little hesitant. Zhang Da Huzi was not someone who was easy to talk to.

"How long will that take?"

"About one to one and a half months."

Chen Xi's general production schedule has been made. According to Zhang Chen's requirements, it would be best to complete the filming within 20 days, and no more than 25 days at the latest, but it will definitely take one to one and a half months.

"So long?" Liu Xiaoli's expression told me she had some thoughts: "Can you focus on filming our scenes first?"

Zhang Chen shook his head again and said nothing this time.

Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are? Why are you being given priority in filming your scenes?
If it was Jiang Wenli or Xu Qing who made this request, he might have considered it. You are just a small supporting role, and you still want the crew to revolve around you? Are you dreaming?

Although he felt unhappy, Zhang Chen did not say it out loud.

No wonder later generations were able to turn Liu Tianxian's almost lucky start into a husband, thus ruining their own daughter's path to fame.

Zhang Chen originally had a very good impression of Aunt Liu.

She has a good temperament and is beautiful. She was a dancer when she was young and has won the Five One Project Award and the Wenhua Award.

That is to say, he was born in the wrong era, otherwise his achievements would be no worse than Liu Tianxian.

But now it seems that only a good shell is left. If Liu Tianxian had not had thick blood, he would have been killed by his own mother.

At this time, Chen Jinfei, who had been silent, saw that the negotiations had reached a deadlock and knew it was his turn to take action.

"Xixi, please go out for a while. Director Zhang and I have something to discuss~"

Dong Jianqiang also spoke at this time: "Chen Xi, accompany Miss Liu to take a look at the environment of our company~"

Liu Yifei knew that her godfather was going to use his money power again. In fact, she knew everything, but her godfather and biological mother still treated her like a child.

Liu Tianxian stood up, and Chen Xi could only leave with her reluctantly. She originally wanted to get first-hand information, but she didn't expect to be sent out.

Outside the door, Liu Tianxian glanced at Chen Xi who was looking around, "You don't seem to like me very much?"

Chen Xi was shocked. He didn't expect Liu Tianxian to speak so directly.

You are so willful. Has no one ever taught you how to speak?
It’s good to have a godfather.

Thinking back to when I was in the entertainment industry, I had to read people’s expressions, be humble, and I don’t know how much grievance I had to endure just to get a role.

Look at her, even private transactions have to be avoided, and she is protected like a princess.

It's true that people have to die when compared with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods.

Who doesn't want a day like this?

"No, I just feel sorry for you."

"I'm pitiful?" Liu Tianxian widened his eyes.

Chen Xi nodded. Since Wang Luodan was using tricks, she was also prepared to give him a hard time.

"Well, do you know that you are actually being used by someone?"

“?” Liu Tianxian still had a frown on his face, and his big black eyes were full of clear stupidity.

"Wang Luodan was also competing for the role of An An at the beginning, but she lost to Yang Xiaomi in the end. The matter should have ended there, but she was obviously unwilling to accept it, so she deliberately revealed the news to you. Do you understand now?"

"what?"

Liu Tianxian is not a fool, she just has not been exposed to these dirty things.

Chen Xi explained it so clearly, so she naturally understood.

"I didn't expect it to be like this~" She wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain. Chen Xi nodded: "We didn't expect it either, but it doesn't matter anymore, let's see the final result."

To be honest, she didn't hate Liu Tianxian.

She was just being used.

She even felt that Wang Luodan had done nothing wrong.

Although she is young, she has heard a lot of such things in the circle.

There are only so many resources, and if you want to get them, you have to fight for them.

Just one opportunity doesn't guarantee success, but just one opportunity can make those young actors work hard.

To compete for resources, everyone uses their own methods.

This stuff is like war.

There are open and aboveboard head-on confrontations, as well as intelligence wars and even assassinations behind the scenes.

The Chinese nation is the most warlike nation, and even ordinary confrontations contain hidden mysteries.

They can use the Thirty-Six Stratagems to make great achievements, including concealing the truth, besieging Wei to save Zhao, killing with a borrowed knife, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

If you don’t have enough brains and try to get into the entertainment industry, you will really die miserably.

Look, Wang Baoqiang has been labeled as such.

……

Inside the house, Chen Jinfei put forward the conditions.

"Zhang Chen, let me know how much the production cost of "Manslaughter" is?"

Dong Jianqiang knew this better and answered from the side: "1800 million."

This number has been calculated precisely.

The shots in "The Accidental Murderer" are not complicated, and the success of this film depends entirely on the exquisite script.

If it were shot in China, it would probably cost just over 1000 million yuan.

Unfortunately, it cannot pass the review in the country, so the only option is to change the background to Thailand.

The entire film needs to be shot in Thailand, and the cost of going abroad alone is a huge expense.

"A World Without Thieves" used a lot of green screens, aerial photography, and even built a studio in Xiaotangshan. Even so, the cost was only 2500 million.

(The 4600 million mentioned in the previous article is a bit different. The information I found is not very accurate. It is estimated that the publicity and promotion costs have been included.)
"The Accidental Murderer" does not have any of these complexities, and 1800 million is already very high.

"I'll pay 800 million and not take any share. Do you think this is okay?"

Godfather Chen is preparing to use money to destroy it.

This is probably what is meant by bringing money into the group.

Are you excited?
Definitely heartwarming.

No wonder he is his godfather, he is so generous.

Dong Jianqiang just wants to say, where can I find a godfather like this? I also want one.

Dong Jianqiang kept winking at Zhang Chen, and Godfather Chen and Liu Xiaoli also looked at Zhang Chen.

Isn’t Zhang Chen moved?

Of course I am also moved.

He originally thought that he would not be moved, after all, he was a time traveler.

But when the time comes, I feel like, it smells so good~
It would be great if we could have a few more sponsors like this.

In fact, "The Accidental Murderer" had already recovered its costs before filming began.

During the time that Zhang Chen was in Hollywood, Chen Xi was not idle.

Not only did she prepare the entire crew, she also negotiated the advertising revenue share.

In the last "The Shallows", Zhang Chen had not achieved much, but Chen Xi had already discussed a 2000 million yuan tiered advertising share.

Now that Zhang Chen is a billionaire director, how could Chen Xi let go of such an opportunity?

A total of 17 brands and two patch ads were implanted, also in a tiered manner. If the final box office exceeded 1.5 million, the film would get 6000 million in advertising revenue.

Too brutal.

So "The Accidental Murderer" has already made money even before filming started.

"Welcome to join the crew of "Manslaughter" and wish us a pleasant cooperation."

If someone gave him money, there was no reason for Zhang Chen to refuse it. As for Yang Xiaomi, he could only say sorry.

After receiving the notice, Liu Tianxian and Chen Xi returned to the office and saw the smiling group of people.

Chen Xi knew something was wrong. As expected, Chen Jinfei acted like a loving father: "Xixi, Director Zhang has agreed to give you the role. You must prepare well."

At the same time, Zhang Chen also said: "After our consideration, Miss Liu is indeed the most suitable candidate. We hope to have a pleasant cooperation. Someone will send you the script later. Miss Liu is better to communicate with Director Zhang Jizhong in advance to arrange the schedule. We will focus on filming your scenes."
