This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 342: The Return of the Condor Heroes (Vote for the Month)
"I thought Teacher Zhang would stand me up. It hasn't been decided yet in September. I don't have any hope anymore." Hao Yun came up and started to complain.

Zhang Jizhong laughed out loud, feeling proud that he had played a trick on Hao Yun.

People like him have a desire for control.

And Hao Yun was the person whom he could not control very well, so Hao Yun showed weakness to the enemy right from the start.

These two foxes are fighting all the time.

In this encounter, Hao Yun won completely. Zhang Jizhong had long forgotten that he should give Hao Yun a warning to let him know who is the boss in the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" crew.

"There's nothing we can do this time. You've also worked on projects, so you should know how difficult it is to make something happen with limited funds." Zhang Jizhong also had a lot of grievances in his heart, but he didn't know who to talk to.

Subconsciously, he had already regarded Hao Yun as someone with whom he could have a conversation on an equal footing.

If it were someone like Huang Danan, he would definitely treat him casually.

"Yes, look at my new movie, it won the Cannes award, but the audience still doesn't buy it, it's because I don't know how to hype it up."

Hao Yun talked nonsense with his eyes open.

He looked like he wanted to learn how to hype things up from Zhang Jizhong.

After chatting for a while, we finally got down to business.

Zhang Jizhong came here to cry poor, he hoped to reduce Hao Yun's salary to 500,000.

Before winning awards at the Cannes Film Festival, Hao Yun earned 80 yuan for "Blood Romance" and 100 million yuan for "The World's Number One".

Now that he has won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes, Zhang Jizhong refused to increase his salary and instead wanted to lower it to 50. Hao Yun would definitely not agree.

So the two of them started to bargain back and forth.

In fact, 50 is not unacceptable.

"Blood Romance" had money, the cost of costumes and props was not too high, and there were no special effects, so more could be invested in the actors' salaries.

As for "The Number One Under Heaven", this is the drama that Wang Jing made money from, and Hao Yun also followed suit, so his pay naturally increased.

Although The Return of the Condor Heroes and The King's Number One both have a budget of 3000 million, Zhang Jizhong hopes to put more money into location selection and special effects.

There was no need to choose any locations for "Number One Under Heaven", as it was almost entirely filmed at the Wuxi Film and Television Base.

The filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes not only chose Xiangshan Film and Television City, Taohua Island, Jiuzhaigou, Yandang Mountain, Xinchang and other places, but also built various studios.

Zhang Jizhong paid An Xiaoxi 8000 yuan per episode, and the total salary was only about 30 yuan.

The reason he was able to give Hao Yun 50 yuan was that he thought highly of Hao Yun.

In his eyes, Hao Yun is more famous than An Xiaoxi because Hao Yun is a screenwriter and director, and like him, he also attracts investments for projects.

Every version of The Return of the Condor Heroes seems to be poor.

In the TVB version, Yang Guo, played by Gu Tianle, holds a flashlight as a fire starter, and the waterfall at the entrance to the Unrequited Valley is actually made of plastic. If you look closely, you can see that many shots are not processed well.

That version of Brother Diao can be said to be the most peculiar ever.

In addition, versions like Liu Furong and Ren Xianqi were unable to escape the plight of poverty.

The main reason is that "The Return of the Condor Heroes" involves many locations, high investment in martial arts, and large-scale filming, and sometimes some special effects may be needed.

These days special effects can easily cost millions.

Zhang Jizhong plans to spend at least two million on this version of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Special effects technicians were arranged to join the creation from the early stage of script writing, and special effects personnel were arranged to follow the crew every day during the entire shooting process in order to better carry out the later computer special effects work.

He really couldn't give Hao Yun one million.

After some "hard" bargaining, Hao Yun was still unable to convince Zhang Jizhong to increase his pay, but he did gain a lot of power.

As an assistant director, he participated in all aspects of the TV series, including preparation, shooting, and post-production.

They even have the power to suggest changes to the script.

The film's salary was 50 yuan, and the assistant director's salary was 10 yuan, totaling 60 yuan.

Zhang Jizhong didn't mind Hao Yun doing more work. He felt that no matter how much a fool like Hao Yun jumped around, he would never be able to get out of his control in his crew.

On the contrary, it is a 100,000 yuan deal to invite a Cannes award-winning director to participate in the production of a TV series, which is definitely a profit.

Since Hao Yun wants to work, he should start with auditioning supporting roles and training actors.

One hundred thousand dollars is not that easy to come by.

The next day, the Xiangshan press conference for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was held.

Not only Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi participated, but also several other actors, including the famous model Meng Guangmei who played Li Mochou, Chen Zihan who played Guo Fu, and Yang Mi who played Guo Xiang.

The main focus of the recent days of The Return of the Condor Heroes is to hype up the leading male and female roles, unlike Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which also does not spare the supporting roles. Some of the other actors did not show up, and some have not been selected yet.

It can also be said that it would be easy for Hao Yun to squeeze in a few of his brothers, and they might even get some good roles.

As long as the product is good and the price is low, Zhang Jizhong will not refuse.

Wang Shunyu is currently unemployed, and Wu Laoliu takes him to various auditions.

The movie "A World Without Thieves" in which he starred will be released at the end of the year, and it may improve his fame and reputation. After all, Ma Dagang's brand is still very strong these days.

This movie also brings together Ge You and Liu Furong, so even if they just play supporting roles, it would be easy for them to become famous.

Huang Bo has become obsessed with Ning Hao, hoping to get a good role in his new film.

Zhang Songwen performed in a costumed Cantonese short drama called "The Strange Son-in-law", which was a customized project for a local TV station and it is estimated that it will not make much waves.

The actors who came to the press conference got to know each other first.

"I think everyone knows our leading actors. This is An Xiaoxi, and this is Hao Yun. In addition, Hao Yun is also the deputy director of the crew, so you can also ask him if you have any questions." Zhang Jizhong gave Hao Yun a lot of face.

"Director Hao~" Meng Guangmei, Chen Zihan, and Yang Mi greeted him one after another.

An Xiaoxi immediately felt ashamed. Look at others, they all call him Director Hao.

Not even Deputy Director Hao.

It seems like Hao Yun is the real director of this TV series.

Where is An Xiaoxi?

She called Haomei~
Including An Xiaoxi, these four beauties are more or less related to Yang Guo played by Hao Yun. They will definitely have rival scenes in the future, so it’s a good thing to get to know them first.

Guo Fu can be considered as the first love, while Guo Xiang can be considered as being infatuated with Yang Guo.

As for Li Mochou, even if there was no romance, there was still some ambiguity, after all, she was hugged by Yang Guo three times.

When she was hugged by Yang Guo for the first time, "she suddenly felt a pair of arms under her armpits, her heart trembled, and somehow, her whole body suddenly became weak."

Lao Jin is a playboy.

Yang Guo was only 14 years old when he first appeared. Even though he looked a little more mature and handsome, he looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

Li Mochou couldn't stand the teasing.

The second time, Yang Guo hugged Li Mochou's slender waist tightly and shouted, "Aunt, get out quickly! I'm holding her, she can't leave."

In this instant, Li Mochou had thought about it more than a dozen times. She knew that the situation was critical and her life was at stake. However, when he held her in his arms, she felt intoxicated and overjoyed. She didn't even want to struggle.

There was also a cute little dragon girl beside him, who was confused: "Sister, with such martial arts skills, how could she be restrained by Guo'er and unable to move? Could it be that her acupoints were blocked?"

As for the third time, her clothes were burned by Feng Mofeng, the blacksmith, so Yang Guo took off his clothes and gave them to her to wear.

Later, the two raised a newborn baby girl, Guo Xiang, together.

All I can say is that when wandering alone in the world, even the strongest girl will have a moment of weakness. If our hero Yang could learn from Wei Xiaobao, there might not be so many troubles in the world.

Many viewers said that if it was Chen Kaige’s wife who played the role of Li Mochou, why would I, Yang Guo, need Xiaolongnu (Wu Qianlian)?

The five actors quickly became familiar with each other.

Although Yang Mi plays the youngest character, An Xiaoxi is actually the youngest girl.

The two are about the same age, less than a year apart.

If I say I'm not envious of An Xiaoxi, who is younger than me but plays the leading female role, I'd be lying.

However, given her age and qualifications, being able to marry Guo Xiang is something that countless people envy.

So there isn’t too much resentment.

Yang Mi also said that she would take the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy next year, and then she could call Hao "senior brother" and An "senior sister".

Hao Yun blinked at An Xiaoxi and asked if she heard it.

Come, call out "Senior Brother Hao" and let him hear it.

An Xiaoxi made a face at him and said, "Come on, don't force me to call you Hao Mei in front of others."

This unique skill of communicating without speaking is something that other people cannot achieve. Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi are classmates - this is one of the four great friendships in life - and they have also collaborated on many film and television works and MVs together.

Well, Hao Yun also slept in An Xiaoxi's bed.

After a while, the security guards opened the blockade at the door and a group of reporters rushed in, snapping photos of the people attending the press conference.
