Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 195 Yang Xiaomi's Transformation
The cast of "Stone" has been confirmed, and Ning Hao plans to start filming after the celebration banquet. He happened to take advantage of the free time in the next two days to organize a script reading and also take the time to shoot Jing Tian's MV.

At the shooting site, Ning Hao took the photos very seriously.

Well, the attitude must be right.

Zhang Chen had specifically reminded him, and his original words were: Jing Tian’s background is not simple, you should not simply treat him as a fat sheep, or you will end up in trouble.

Ning Hao was quite curious at the time, "Who is her background?"

Zhang Chen: "The Buddha said: It cannot be explained, it cannot be explained."

"Bullshit Buddha, you don't know it."

Zhang Chen was anxious. "How could I not know? Isn't it just... um, Amitabha, the Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said..."

During the break, Ning Hao said: "Cut, take a break and drink some water~"

Lu Zheng who was standing next to him came forward and said, "Come on, Xiao Tian, ​​eat the bird's nest. Director Ning, have some too. It's very good for your skin."

Ning Hao waved his hand and said, "I am a grown man, and I have grown up like this. It would be a waste if I gave it to you. Miss Jing Tian should enjoy it."

Seeing this, Lu Zheng did not refuse.

However, Ning Hao was more curious about Jing Tian.

It looks like this little girl is someone who is very well protected and hasn't experienced anything.

Although she is called a little girl, they are actually of the same age, only a few years apart.

But Ning Hao felt that his mental age was definitely more mature than the other person.

If you learn a little about it, you will know that the entire Starry Sky is actually opened for Jing Tian alone, and judging from Jing Tian's food, clothing and other expenses, they must be a wealthy family.

But Zhang Chen said that the other person had a strong background, so Ning Hao was quite curious.

But he wouldn't be so stupid as to ask directly in person.

He didn't ask, but Lu Zheng asked him.

"Director Ning, I heard that your new play is called "Crazy Stone" and it will start filming soon?"

Zhang Chen's high evaluation of Ning Hao has made the new drama "Stone" very exposed, and it is news if you don't know about it.

Ning Hao nodded: "Just these few days."

Lu Zheng: "Then I'll ask around to see if there's a role that's suitable for our Xiao Tian. Even a small role is fine. We can bring in money to join the group, you know..."

Ning Hao's expression remained unchanged, but he actually took a deep breath in his heart.

What Zhang Chen said was indeed right. He was going to throw money at me.

But thinking about his performance in the MV just now, he finally made up his mind and shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Lu, the roles have been decided, it's too late now, maybe there will be a chance next time."

Lu Zheng didn't mind: "It's okay, I just heard about it and asked casually."

He was really just asking casually. The filming was about to start, so the roles must have been assigned long ago. There was nothing special to do at this time, and directors generally wouldn't change roles.

However, after thinking about it, Ning Hao still felt that he should give a suggestion.

"Mr. Lu, let me say something. If Miss Jing is just playing around, then it doesn't matter. If you really want to continue on the path of an actor, it would be better for you to go to a professional school like Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama for further study..."

……

Star Entertainment
Zhang Chen is telling the screenwriter team the story outline of "Painted Skin".

What are the characters' personalities, what are the conflicts, how to set up each character, since it is going to be a series, there are many things to pay attention to.

In fact, the screenwriter team had already come up with a version last night, but it was very different from what Zhang Chen had imagined. In order to avoid cognitive bias, they had to straighten it out.

"The dynasty should be kept as vague as possible. This is a story from Liao Zhai, and the era is not important. This will save a lot of trouble for the subsequent linkage..."

"Xiao Wei is beautiful, but she is a monster, and monsters are bound to have a cruel side, so she must eat fresh human hearts every day to maintain her beauty. You can also be more creative, there is no need to hold on to me, if there is a more suitable one, you can also..."

"Give the little bird a name, let's call it 'Qingqing', and don't give it a love story, as it already has Xiaowei. Emphasize the friendship between it and Xiaowei, similar to the Green Snake and White Snake..."

"The monster catcher is a very key character. His appearance can link the various stories of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" into a big world. You can set up a sect or something like that, with powerful martial arts but few people. Later on, you can create a branch line, such as disputes between senior and junior brothers because of different concepts of monsters..."

Zhang Chen briefly explained his ideas, and the screenwriters listened very carefully, taking notes in their notebooks from time to time.

After saying this, Zhang Chen left, leaving the screenwriters with room to express themselves freely.

……

Chen Xi was hiding in the corridor and making a phone call. The call was from Yang Xiaomi.

On the phone, Yang Xiaomi’s voice was faintly filled with sobs: “Uh-huh… I just can’t get angry. Why did he hit me… Uh-huh… I just blocked her camera, and she slapped me in the face, in front of so many people… Uh-huh…”

Yang Xiaomi cried and said that just now, she was slapped in public by the furious Zhang Da Huzi because she accidentally blocked Liu Tianxian's camera on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

At this time, I felt extremely aggrieved.

She definitely couldn't tell her parents about this, and she didn't have many friends in the circle, so she thought of Chen Xi and started crying.

In fact, it was not a carelessness at all.

She just remembered that her role as the daughter in "The Accidental Murderer" was taken away by Liu Tianxian, and she felt unhappy.

He was in a bad mood and wanted to disgust the other person on purpose, but he didn't expect that it happened to be the days when Zhang Da Huzi was doing that thing. He got angry and started fighting without saying a word.

Chen Xi didn't know any of this. He just thought that his good friend was being bullied and could only comfort him.

"Alright, alright. Great directors all have bad tempers. Our Director Zhang is also a tyrant on the set. He curses at people at every turn..."

Chen Xi didn't have any good way to comfort her best friend and could only empathize with her.

Then she noticed Zhang Chen looking at her in surprise not far away.

Am I a tyrant on the set? And am I always cursing at people?
Have it?

Chen Xi's expression was very awkward, and then he pointed at the phone pretending to be calm.

She never thought that she just made it up to comfort her best friend, but she didn't expect that the person who did it heard it.

It's over. It's over.
But she was also quick-witted and said immediately: "But he is really good to you. We are going to release a big movie soon, and he has reserved a role for you in it..."

"Really~" Yang Xiaomi's crying voice on the other end of the phone suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Chen left with an expression that said "you've passed the test", and Chen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course it's true, but this project is still in the confidential stage. I can't say much, and you shouldn't say anything, lest someone else snatch it away. But I can tell you that this project is likely to be a series. According to Director Zhang's idea, your role can run through the entire series..."

"Ahhh~~" Yang Xiaomi just wanted to scream at this moment. Happiness came too quickly.

Is this the legendary slap in the face followed by a sweet date?

This Director Zhang slaps people, and that Director Zhang gives sweet dates.

Then let the slap come harder.

"Yang Mi, Yang Mi, it's your turn..." the executive director urged from the side.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Hearing that someone on the other end of the phone was looking for Yang Mi, Chen Xi hung up the phone and walked towards Zhang Chen's office. She just happened to have something to talk to him about.

In the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes, director Yu Min was still wondering why the actress Yang Mi was so versatile.

He had just been slapped in the face by the producer, but in the blink of an eye he was able to adjust his mood and was smiling widely.

This girl will become something great.

Yang Xiaomi didn't know that director Yu Min had changed his opinion of her. After the show, she didn't go anywhere and reflected on herself alone.

The slap from Zhang Da Huzi woke her up and made her realize how fickle the world is.

Young actors have no say.

No matter whether it is the director or the producer, as long as they are of higher status than her, they can deal with her however they want.

Even those who provide lighting can give her a bad look.

If you want to avoid this from happening again, you must work hard to climb up.

At the same time, Chen Xi's words also reminded her that it was not enough to have a good sister like Chen Xi to help with planning, she must also take the initiative, otherwise her role would inevitably be replaced.

So how do we take the initiative?
Yang Xiaomi looked at her chest.

I am willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor~
Yang Mi was flayed, so who is the emperor and who is the horse?

……

In the office, Chen Xi handed a stack of newspapers to Zhang Chen.

"They are all from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are teaming up to blackmail you..."

"Oh? What did you say? Let me see..."

Zhang Chen took the newspaper and started reading it one by one.

[Zeng Zhiwei: There is no freedom of speech in the mainland]

[Ma Chucheng: My film was targeted by the mainland]

[Yusen Wu: "Hancheng Raiders" is a good movie that was delayed]

Hey, it's really a group of black people~
Zhang Chen read it with great interest. The interviews that Chen Xi collected were basically from these three people. Their arguments were different, but they basically revolved around a few things:

There is no press freedom in the mainland, and the film promotion is positioned as slander and defamation. This is a regression of press freedom~
"Hancheng Raiders" is a good movie. Its box office failure is entirely due to the deliberate targeting of some people.
Zhang Chen is a frog in a well. He is just a horror film director and doesn't understand spy films at all.
Ma Chucheng probably felt that he couldn't win, so he sought help.

Eric Tsang and Chris Ng are also considered the two flags of Hong Kong.

Especially Wu Yusen, he is a big director in Hollywood. Judging from his commercial performance, he is one of the top figures in the Chinese film industry.

Not to mention, before Tik Tok became popular, Zhang Chen quite liked this person.

It’s nothing, I just love the person and the people in him.

I like his works and also like him as a person.

When talking about Wu Baige, everyone will mention "A Better Tomorrow", but Zhang Chen's favorite is "Hard Boiled", which was the best movie he thought of as a child.

In his previous life, he had a VCR at home and he watched "Hard Boiled" every week.

But later, as TikTok became popular, I got to know all the dirty faces of this person, and then I started to feel indifferent to him, or even hate him.

Chen Xi was a little worried: "Should we respond?"

"Why bother with them? They are just a bunch of clowns."

"But……"

Seeing Chen Xi hesitate to speak, Zhang Chen simply put down the newspaper and asked, "What happened?"

"I'm just worried that you won't be able to win this time~"

?

"That's Wu Yusen."
