This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 973: Is this melon ripe? (asking for monthly votes)
If a female celebrity doesn't show up for too long, people will easily suspect that she has secretly given birth to a child.

Some do give birth to children, but not by themselves.

Also avoid suspicion.

So as to avoid being suspected of surrogacy.

So, you have to show up no matter what.

Before her belly grew bigger, An Xiaoxi would often appear in people's sight.

It’s not too late to make the official announcement after the child is born.

This opportunity is the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly".

An Xiaoxi did not act in this movie, but she can be counted as one of the producers.

An Xiaoxi accompanies Hao Yun to many of his activities, and everyone has gotten used to it.

It’s just that their appearance seems to overshadow the main theme of the show and is not very friendly to “Let the Bullets Fly”.

Today is not a very friendly day.

December 12th, according to the almanac, is not a good day because it is in conflict with the horse and the south, so don't do anything else.

On the contrary, the next day, December 12th, was a rare auspicious day.

Unfortunately, it was snatched away by Zhang Yimou.

However, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen are relatively harmonious.

Zhang Yimou came to the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" with a group of people.

"Oh, here comes the troublemakers, and they are so aggressive." Jiang Wen was very rude when speaking to Zhang Yimou.

Some people may think that Zhang Yimou is Jiang Wen’s “benefactor”, just like the deceased Xie Jin.

But Jiang Wen actually didn’t think so.

When filming "Red Sorghum" in 1988, the "drama tyrant" Jiang Wen quarreled with director Zhang Yimou from beginning to end over issues such as changing the script and improvisation. Later, he was indignant that Zhang Yimou did not mention him after winning the Berlin Golden Bear Award, after all, he also interfered with the creation.

Jiang Wen also revised Xie Jin's play.

Regardless of whether he was arrogant or not, the point is that many of the plays he adapted were successful.

The director certainly didn't listen to him because he was afraid of getting beaten.

I, Jiang Wen, won’t submit to anyone!
"Guests are welcome. Do you want to provide meals today?" Zhang Yimou smiled and didn't care about Jiang Wen's attitude.

We have known each other for so many years.

They collaborated on "Red Sorghum" and "If You Are the One", and whether it was pleasant or not, they did create two classics.

"I didn't have that plan, but since you said so, I have to get two bottles anyway."

Jiang Wen and Zhang Weiping also shook hands.

That year, Zhang Yimou invited Jiang Wen and Qu Ying to shoot the movie "If You Are the One", which was an urban comedy. This was a bold attempt on his part, but many investors did not agree with it as funding was a big problem.

Zhang Yimou ran around and took great pains to finally negotiate with an investor, but he didn't expect that the investor would withdraw his investment when filming started.

"Cutting the firewood from under the cauldron" is something every director fears.

Zhang Yimou was in a very low mood as he had just broken up with Gong Huang because of Zhang Weiping's tip-off that wealthy businessman Huang Hexiang was having an affair with Gong Huang. Now the filming of the movie was suspended.

A few days later, Zhang Yimou was invited to a party. His worries had not been resolved yet, so he was naturally not in a good mood about the atmosphere.

Zhang Weiping saw Zhang Yimou was so worried, so he took the initiative to ask. After listening to Zhang Yimou's story, he decided to invest 2600 million without hesitation.

"If You Are the One" was able to continue filming.

After the movie was released, the line "An Hong, I miss you" quickly became popular.

Jiang Wen knew both of them.

"Today is your home court. If you are busy, don't bother with us."

Zhang Weiping looked at the guests at the scene and compared whether the people invited to "Three Shots Surprise" were of sufficient quality.

He is a businessman, and movies are meant to make money.

This time, the collision between "Three Shots Surprise" and "Let the Bullets Fly" is bound to affect each other's box office.

What Zhang Weiping hopes to do is to turn this influence into a positive one.

At least it is positive for "Three Shots Surprise".

But he was not too worried. He knew Jiang Wen's character better than anyone else. Zhang Yimou would not lose no matter what if he faced Jiang Wen.

At least Zhang Yimou won’t lose now.

Back when Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou first collaborated, "If You Are the One" eventually achieved a box office of 4600 million, but he only got 800 million, resulting in a loss of 1800 million.

The following film "Not One Less" won Zhang Yimou many awards at home and abroad, and his reputation was extremely good.

However, when filming began, "No One Less" had already seriously exceeded its budget, with costs increasing by nearly 10 million yuan. Investment and income were almost in a state of balance. Zhang Weiping could only break even, but could not make any money.

"Not One Less" was the beginning, and later "My Father and Mother" and "Happy Times" were also in a state of "balanced income and expenditure".

After investing for 4 years, I didn’t make a penny.

He decided to teach Zhang Yimou a lesson.

Fortunately, Zhang Yimou accepted his teachings and began to bow to the "market".

"Hero" grossed 2.5 million yuan in the mainland and 11 billion yuan overseas, which officially started a wave of blockbuster movies.

With the example of "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" followed one after another.

The box office were very good.

Zhang Yimou is now completely different from the past.

He is very obedient!
When filming "Curse of the Golden Flower", Zhang Yimou first invited Gong Huang and Zhou Ruifa.

When Zhang Weiping saw the cast list, he felt that Gong Huang and Zhou Ruifa were no longer popular among young people, so he asked for Zhou Jielun to join.

Zhang Yimou agreed.

During the filming of "Movies and TV Series", Zhang Yimou wanted to present a serious atmosphere, but Zhang Weiping suggested using Xiao Shenyang.

Xiao Shenyang is so popular, even more popular than Wang Shunliu.

Why can Wang Shunyu play Sha Gen and Mr. Shu, but Xiao Shenyang can't master multiple styles?

There is also Sun Honglei.

Is this melon ripe?
I don’t know if the melon is ripe or not, but at least it’s guaranteed to win.

As for Jiang Wen, he didn't have many movies to begin with. After being banned for five years, he finally made one (The Sun Also Rises), but it was a complete flop.

What can he use to fight Zhang Yimou now? Although Hao Yun is the screenwriter of Let the Bullets Fly, people who know Jiang Wen know that it doesn't matter who is the screenwriter, because Jiang Wen is the real boss.

This is also the reason why Zhang Weiping insisted on not changing the release date.

It doesn’t matter, just confront Jiang Wen head-on.

If anyone needs to make any changes, it should be Jiang Wen.

Since Jiang Wen refuses to change the schedule, don't blame us for being ruthless.

"No, no, Hao Yun is helping me. Come, let's sit down." Jiang Wen acted very relaxed today.

He is too lazy to go out socializing.

Zhang Yimou turned his head and saw his new film's leading actor Sun Honglei and Xiao Shenyang chatting and laughing around Hao Yun.

I have to say that Jiang Wen, this disciple, is really very talented.

What Zhang Yimou envied most was that Jiang Wen’s apprentice was able to invest in him to make a movie.

Unlike himself, Zhang Weiping who invested in himself is simply his father.

Zhang Yimou now hates Zhang Weiping for interfering with his creation. The kindness they showed him in the early years has long since disappeared.

Zhang Weiping makes money entirely based on his prestige and fame.

Of course, he hated himself even more.

Having tasted the sweetness of making money, it is difficult for him to return to his original intention.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

Why does Jiang Wen live in a big villa? Why does Jiang Wen buy luxury cars whenever he wants? He buys one every month. You are crazy.

Jiang Wen is lucky, his apprentice helps him make money.

If you don’t have such an apprentice, you can only cooperate with capital.

This capital can be Zhang Weiping, or someone else like Wang Weiping, Zhuge Weiping, etc.

At this time, Hao Yun, who was entertaining guests on behalf of Jiang Wen, did not actually have much time to chat with Sun Honglei and Xiao Shenyang.

But these two people won’t leave.

They shamelessly accompanied Hao Yun to stand at the door to welcome the guests.

An Xiaoxi had already gone in to watch a movie.

This movie is produced by Heidou Media, so all the free artists of Heidou Media came to support it.

An Xiaoxi's safety is not a problem as she is with them.

No one dared to steal Hao Yun's girl.

The iron wall cannot be pried open.

Sun Honglei and Xiao Shenyang standing on the left and right like this can easily give people an illusion.

That is, are these two people going to join Heidou Media?

Forget about Xiao Shenyang, he is Uncle Benshan’s man.

The main reason is that Sun Honglei has developed very well in recent years. After the broadcast of "Conquer", he became well-known for his role as the villain Liu Huaqiang, and won the Feitian Magnolia Award for Best Actor for his role as "Yu Zecheng" in the spy drama "The Disguiser".

At most, the road to film transformation is bumpy.

He played the role of Fenghuo Liancheng in the movie "Seven Swords". He was quite perverted, but unfortunately the movie itself had mixed reviews, and he, as a villain, could not stand out in such a star-studded movie.

This shows the role of good projects in the transformation of actors.

This year, Wang Shunliu, who is known as the silly boy, won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award, and now shares the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with Zhang Jiahui, making many talented actors envious.

Sun Honglei is one of them.

It's not that he hasn't worked with great directors before. He recently starred in the movie "Mei Lanfang", changing his previous tough guy image and putting on glasses, playing the paranoid and crazy intellectual Qiu Rubai.

In order to make this film, Sun Honglei turned down three movies and one TV series during the one year filming.

As a result, the movie lost both in terms of reputation and box office, and only Chen Kaige benefited.

This is an art film with a cost of 100 million yuan. You really dare to make money from it. The actors watching it are all jealous.

This time, when working with Zhang Yimou on "Movies and TV Series", Zhang Weiping, Xiao Shenyang and others thought it would be a big hit, but Sun Honglei disagreed.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Yimou would have doubted whether this movie was directed by Zhang Yimou.

The person who made him feel that the movie was unreliable the most was Xiao Shenyang.

Once they went out for a drink together, and fans surrounded them and asked for autographs. Sun Honglei was drunk and had no time for observation, so he jokingly said, "I'll sign for you." As a result, Xiao Shenyang got angry and used a powerful move, breaking Sun Honglei's hand.

It still hurts now.

What can Sun Honglei do? Does he dare to fight back?

That’s Uncle Benshan’s chief disciple.

When the reporter asked him, he said that during the filming, he accidentally hit his hand on a vase and injured himself.

Just follow your heart.

They attended an event together today, and the two were chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened.

But the frustration in his heart made him strongly want to find someone to support him.

Zhang Yimou definitely can’t do it.

He couldn't even be Zhang Weiping's boss.

Zhang Weiping plays with big guys like Zhao Benshan, and none of them would offend Uncle Benshan for their own sake.

Therefore, Sun Honglei was thinking about whether he could join Heidou Media since his ten-year contract with Zhao Baogang's Xinbaoyuan Company would expire next year.

As for Xiao Shenyang, he has no intention of joining Heidou Media.

That would be a simplistic provocation to his master, and even Black Bean Media would not be able to protect him.

He just wanted to see what Sun Honglei was going to do.

"Okay, everyone, go in. There will be a cocktail party after the premiere tonight. We must have a few drinks then."

Hao Yun was not in a hurry to ask them what they wanted to do.

As long as there is a purpose, it will be revealed sooner or later.

Behind these two people is Zhao Benshan and Zhao Baogang respectively, and he doesn't want to offend either of them.
