Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 550 Hints and the Otaku Goddess

Dong Laishun

The famous copper pot hot pot in Beijing has been around since 1914.

Zhang Chen reserved a table here today and invited Chen Desen and Wang Baoqiang to dinner.

Originally, he wanted to invite Wang Baoqiang, but when he learned that "The Besieged City" had been completed and was doing post-production in Beijing, he invited Chen Desen as well.

We just happened to get together to chat about "One Man's Martial Arts".

Zhang Chen was the one treating the guests, so he arrived early and ordered the food.

"What's your specialty?"

The person serving him was the lobby manager, and Zhang Chen was recognized as soon as he entered the hotel.

"Shangnao, cucumber strips, grinding crotch, big Sancha, small Sancha..."

Pay attention to it, but don’t take it too seriously.

Donglaishun is often visited by celebrities.

"Okay, give me one portion of each, and some greens, lettuce, spinach, chrysanthemum, etc...."

"Oh well……"

"What would you like to drink?"

"Don't worry about the wine, I brought it."

The lobby manager was out for a while and everything was ready.

The red charcoal was burning inside the pot, and the strong fire made the water in the pot sizzle.

After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Chen Desen and Wang Baoqiang came in together.

"Director Zhang, sorry to have kept you waiting~"

"Sorry, Director Zhang, we are late~"

The two apologized as soon as they entered the door, and Zhang Chen waved to them to sit down.

"It's not late, I came early. I had nothing to do so I came early to avoid the annoyance of waiting for the water to boil..."

Chen Desen and Wang Baoqiang sat down and the water was turned on.

"Look, this is the perfect time. Let's pick up our chopsticks and chat while we eat..."

Zhang Chen greeted the two of them without any airs, and they obediently picked up their chopsticks.

But Chen Desen was a little stunned.

Isn’t Donglaishun a place for eating shabu-shabu mutton? Why are the whole table filled with vegetables?

Wang Baoqiang was also dumbfounded when he saw the table full of green.

Spinach, lettuce, lettuce, chrysanthemum, water spinach, broccoli, cucumber strips, bamboo shoots, rapeseed...

There wasn't even a piece of tofu.

"Baoqiang, eat some lettuce~"

Zhang Chen picked up a piece of lettuce with chopsticks and gave it to Wang Baoqiang, who was flattered.

"Okay, thank you Director Zhang~"

"It's okay. Try this green lettuce."

"Mmmmm~"

Wang Baoqiang ate the lettuce again and kept praising its taste.

Zhang Chen didn't want to be too obvious. Seeing that the other party didn't understand, he thought that maybe his approach was wrong. He stopped being anxious and decided to wait and see.

He unscrewed the outer packaging of the wine: "Everyone can drink it, let's drink together..."

At this time, the mutton was finally served and the three of them ate it with relish.

"Come on, let's go~"

The three of them clinked their cups together and each put a finger into the wine dispenser.

They find it troublesome to pour wine from small glasses, so they just use a wine dispenser.

After drinking, the three of them each scooped up a piece of mutton and ate it with relish.

Zhang Chen picked up the whole plate of big three-cornered lobster and swept it into the pot. He ate one piece at a time and then shabu-shabued one piece at a time. That was just too much of a bother.

The purpose of eating mutton hotpot is to have a good time.

Eat meat and drink wine.

This is how it adds the flavor of life.

After a few drinks, they slowed down their pace. Zhang Chen looked at the two of them and asked, "Have you read the scripts I sent you?"

"I've seen it~"

Wang Baoqiang quickly put down his chopsticks, picked up his glass and stood up and said: "Thank you Director Zhang for your appreciation. I am not good at talking. So, I'll have a drink~"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the entire wine decanter.

My face is slightly red~
"Director Zhang, it has always been my dream to make an action movie. I didn't expect you would ask me to play Feng Yuxiu..."

He really didn't expect that Zhang Chen would ask him to play the role of Anti-Feng Yuxiu.

Zhang Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sit down, sit down, sit down and talk, don't stand all the time, we are just chatting, don't be so formal..."

Seeing Wang Baoqiang's silly smile, Zhang Chen said, "Then do you have the confidence to act well?"

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Ever since I received the script, I have been thinking about the character of Feng Yuxiu. If I can't figure it out, I will go to discuss it with Director Chen..."

Chen Desen also nodded beside him: "Don't be fooled by Baoqiang's simple appearance, he actually has a talent for acting..."

"Director Chen, please stop praising me~"

Baoqiang's reaction made the two of them laugh.

"Then tell me how you understand the character Feng Yuxiu~"

Wang Baoqiang thought about it and said: "Feng Yuxiu is actually 'Crazy Yuxiu'. He is a martial arts fanatic and follows the Shura path.

His dream is to kick the ball in all the martial arts gyms in the world, step on the greatest heroes, and become the best in the world.

So he has always said that martial arts are skills for killing, not for performance.

Xiahou Wu is a genius, and Feng Yuxiu is also a genius.

But different circumstances made the two people's destinies very different.

Xiahou Wu followed the traditional path, learning both literary and martial arts and selling them to the imperial family, so he became a police coach.

Feng Yuxiu was not as lucky as Xiahou Wu. He was born with a defect and had a lame leg. It was his obsession with martial arts that enabled him to achieve what he has today.

But his wife died.

Feng Yuxiu's wife is like a seal to Feng Yuxiu.

The moment the seal disappeared, Feng Yuxiu turned into a demon.

No one can stop him from doing anything he wants.

So he wants to prove his truth, prove his own Shura path~!"

Wang Baoqiang spoke with great pride and confidence, fully revealing his understanding of Feng Yuxiu, while Zhang Chen applauded beside him.

As expected, it’s Wang Baoqiang.

The latter scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's not all my understanding, some of it was analyzed by Director Chen..."

Zhang Chen looked at Chen Desen and said, "Oh, Director Chen, if you have any insights, why not share them with us..."

Chen Desen knew that Zhang Chen wanted to test him in person, so he organized his words:

“In my opinion, ‘One Man’s Martial Arts’ is about a knight who breaks the law with martial arts, but on a deeper level, it is actually about two different destinies.

Baoqiang thinks that the path to cultivation is the Shura path, but I think it is the path of the Martial Saint, riding a red rabbit horse for a thousand miles and wielding a blue dragon sword to pass through five gates.

What I want is to be the best in the world.

Xiahou Wu wants to be a human being, and Feng Yuxiu wants to be a god. Both choices are correct, but they are naturally in conflict.

"One Man's Martial Arts World", as the name suggests, the martial arts world has declined.

In modern society, the use of force is restricted to the greatest extent possible. People learn civil and martial arts well and sell them to the imperial family.

The final outcome is to become a bird in a cage.

With his hands and feet tied up, the warrior no longer behaves like a warrior.

All the martial arts characters in the story are in a retreating posture.

Either an artist or a commoner.

It seems like it has nothing to do with martial arts.

Xiahou Wu was the only one who still had a martial spirit, but he was imprisoned for three years for accidentally killing someone...

During the three years in prison, Xiahou Wu was a "model prisoner" until the declaration of war arrived unexpectedly and his junior sister was in danger, and then he became the martial arts figure Xiahou Wu again.

First punch, then kick, then grab, all weapons and internal strength combined into one!

Feng Yuxiu's challenge not only determines the superiority but also the life and death. In fact, it is just to let the martial arts world maintain the last bit of bloodiness.

Just like he said, martial arts is a killing skill.

What kind of warrior is he if he doesn't dare to kill people?

So he wants to personally ignite the entire martial arts world and let it return to its essence.

Martial arts is a way to kill people! Wulin is about fighting violence with violence! "

Zhang Chen nodded, "Director Chen is right, the core of this story is to fight violence with violence.

In fact, the strength of the Leg King and the swordsman was better than Feng Yuxiu, but because it was a peaceful era and they had no killing intent, they lost, because they actually no longer had the martial arts world in their hearts. "

Fighting violence with violence is actually very shallow.

This was the style of Kung Fu movies when they first came out.

But then things changed.

I don’t know when the core of kung fu movies became that the benevolent is invincible.

Stop killing by not killing~
Ah Xing in "Kung Fu" did not kill the Fire Cloud Evil God...

In Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Li Mubai didn’t kill Jade Fox either…

In Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Qiao Feng was treated so badly, but he still cared about the world...

This is very anti-human.

Therefore, in online novels, the idea that the benevolent are invincible has become a poisonous point.

The protagonists of online novels all take revenge immediately when they have a grudge, even if it is taken overnight.

“But I think the ending is not good~”

Wang Baoqiang interrupted at this time.

"Why not?"

"Such a skilled fighter was shot dead by the most useless female police officer. What a miserable death~"

Chen Desen explained: "This is actually a metaphor~"

He wanted to show off in front of Zhang Chen: "In modern society, no matter how high your Kung Fu is, it cannot compete with firearms. Feng Yuxiu is destined to be Don Quixote.

So at the end of the story, Lu Xuanxin shot and killed Feng Yuxiu.

It seems to start off well but end badly, but it is actually destined.

This fully demonstrates that at seven steps away, the gun is the fastest, and within seven steps, the gun is both accurate and fast. "

"Not bad, Director Chen has a very deep understanding of the story. It seems that you are the best choice for "One Man's Martial Arts"~"

"Thank you Director Zhang for your appreciation. I will definitely do my best."

I felt very happy that my showing off had finally worked.

The three of them raised their glasses together and wished each other a happy cooperation.

After talking about the movie, the three of them started chatting about other things.

After a few drinks, they all opened up.

Zhang Chen remembered another purpose for today and found an excuse to get Chen Desen out of the room, leaving only him and Wang Baoqiang in the room.

Zhang Chen seemed to be chatting: "I have a buddy, his girlfriend is fooling around outside all day, several times~"

Wang Baoqiang: "You tell him~"

Zhang Chen: "How can I say this? If I say this, wouldn't it be the same as breaking up the couple?"

Wang Baoqiang: "Are you stupid? Are you hinting? Just hint and it's over."

Zhang Chen said, "A hint? Well, eat some coriander~"

Zhang Chen added a handful of coriander to Wang Baoqiang’s plate.

Wang Baoqiang still didn't know, and said with disdain: "I don't eat coriander, I don't like it~"

Zhang Chen glanced at him and said, "Eat something, it's green and juicy~"

Wang Baoqiang picked up some coriander and was about to put it into his mouth when he suddenly froze.

The next second, Baoqiang hid in Zhang Chen's arms and burst into tears.

……

Zhang Chen didn't explain it very clearly, but if Baoqiang wasn't too stupid, he would investigate it himself.

I just hope that honest people won’t be bullied as badly as they were in their previous life, and have to borrow money to fight a lawsuit.

In the evening, I made an appointment with Yang Xiaomi to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Hmm, what does this smell like? Is this the hot pot we had tonight?"

The clothes were all smelly, so they took them to the hotel to wash, and the two of them lay on the bed and chatted.

"How's 'Palace' going?"

"Well, the script has been written... huh... Producer Yu is preparing the crew... huh... It should start filming soon..."

For the project of "Palace", Yu Zheng is not only the screenwriter but also the producer, which was specially approved by Zhang Chen.

"I heard that you and Liu Shishi are good friends?"

Yang Xiaomi suddenly lost her voice, making Zhang Chen think that he was not strong enough.

"It's almost broken now~"

Tang Ren knew something about the preparations for "Palace" by Xingchen Entertainment.

If you ask about the subject matter, you will find out that it is of the same type as "Startling by Each Step".

Tang Ren was of course angry, but he could do nothing about Xingchen Entertainment.

It's just that the subject matter is similar, it's not plagiarism, they have no way to deal with it.

As for the two good friends Liu Shishi and Yang Xiaomi, they must have broken up.

"Don't be sad, these are inevitable.

In the entertainment industry, it is difficult for two female artists to become good friends unless there is no competition between them.

Li Binbin and Fan Binbin were good friends at the beginning, but now they are just like you guys..."

Zhang Chen comforts Yang Xiaomi.

Because of the overlapping positioning of female artists, even if they are good friends at the beginning, they will most likely become enemies in the end.

There is no way around it. There are limited resources and we have to fight for them.

Even if the two artists don't compete, the company behind them will definitely compete. Sometimes, you really have no choice but to choose your own path.

"Then why don't you men do this? Hu Ge and Yuan Hong didn't fall out..."

Everyone knows that the two are good brothers, but Hu Ge snatched the role from Yuan Hong.

“The relationship between good girlfriends and good brothers is different.

When good friends meet, in five minutes, 800 people are ruined, and in fifty minutes, you two are the only good people in the world.

When good friends meet, they call each other idiots. After drinking for 50 minutes, they are idiots because of me. "

Zhang Chen has his own twisted logic.

"Okay, don't worry about it too much. Why are people unhappy? Because they can't bear to give up, but they can't comfort themselves~"

Yang Xiaomi is not an adult yet and still fantasizes about having friendship.

Zhang Chen changed the subject: "Did you hear that Zhao Yanzi's graduation project was postponed at school?"

Yang Xiaomi was indeed led astray: "I heard that it seemed like she took the initiative to postpone it."

In fact, Zhang Chen didn't care whether Zhao Yanzi extended the contract or not. The reason he said this was just to prevent Yang Xiaomi from thinking about unnecessary things.

But Zhang Chen remembered one thing. Zhao Yanzi’s graduation work seemed to be "So Young". Should he grab it?
This movie actually has no use to him, he just simply wants to harm others without benefiting himself.

Wait a minute, it may not be disadvantageous to you.

"I almost forgot to ask, how's The Lottery going?"

"The shooting will start soon, so I charged a friendly price. It's only for two weeks anyway. Humph, you always play favorites~"

Zhang Chen was stunned: "Why am I partial to one and neglect the other?"

"That Jing Tian, ​​you arranged a movie called 'Crocodile Storm' for her, but I heard that you also arranged a movie called 'The Witch' for her, directed by Johnnie To. What? Is she better than me?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "If you have a big sponsor like her, I will still give you a role~"

Yang Xiaomi curled her lips: "There is no such thing as a big sponsor. You are the only one who has seen me sweating profusely~"

Zhang Chen was somewhat moved by her flirtatious words in the play.

"How about this, after the filming of 'Palace' is finished, I'll arrange for you to watch a movie and a TV series, both of which are about love..."

"Ah~" Happiness came so suddenly that Yang Xiaomi was a little bit unbelieving.

"You are already a big shot in the field of TV dramas. As for movies..."

Zhang Chen looked at the other person's figure and said, "You can focus on the track of youth love. You have the potential to become a goddess for otakus..."

"Ah, isn't that Liu Tianxian's track? Can I beat her?"

"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Zhang Chen also thought of it suddenly.

In the original time and space, she broke into the film industry with "Far Cry" and took the sexy route.

But this time and space is completely unnecessary.

With "Those Years", "So Young", and another "My Love from the Star", Zhang Chen can completely make her a goddess for otakus, which will separate her from Fan Xiaopang's track and avoid competition.
