This man knows how to hype

Chapter 503 Twins

Life is like a horse race.

Everyone wants to be the first in everything.

Xu Xiyu is currently in such a horse racing competition.

The only thing wrong is that while others race horses, he is the horse.

There is a song that is sung well.

The girl who lassoes horses is passionate and unrestrained.

The swinging waist is like a motor.

An endless stream of raw liquid, just flow with me... Wait, something seems wrong.

do not care.

It's important to coax people.

When the news came that Ke Xinying was pregnant, Yang Xueqing and Lu Qinyao were really going crazy.

But after a few days, Lu Qinyao was happy again because she was also pregnant.

Now, Yang Xueqing was not happy. Among the three girlfriends, she was the one who wanted to have a baby from the very beginning; she was the one who persuaded Xu Xiyu to have a baby during this period, and she was also the one who prepared for pregnancy in advance.

In the end, it was still her who had her period in the second month!
what is this?
I've been worrying about this for so long, but in the end I was worrying for Ke Xinying and Lu Qinyao?

Not convinced.

Quite unconvinced.

In her own words, "I was born with a childbearing appearance, how could I lose to the frigid Ke Xinying and the flat chested Lu Qinyao?"

That’s right, I’ve said it before. For some reason, Yang Xueqing has always firmly believed that Ke Xinying has a cold personality. She even thinks that when Ke Xinying is doing things, she must lie on the bed like a log.

Even though she had seen Ke Xinying act like a spoiled child and a little girl in front of Xu Xiyu several times, she still believed so, as if she had that thought imprinted in her mind.

On the other side, there was another person who also seemed to have his thoughts stamped on him.

This person is none other than Zhang Jianbai, the new chairman of Huaqing. As a person who has directed many big-budget films, his films have a very distinctive feature.

That's just showing off.

This showmanship is reflected in all aspects. For example, the story should be like prose, with a loose form but a strong spirit. This is the advanced level.

The lens language should be rich, and each frame should be full of artistry and connotation;

The lines cannot be dull, they must have a lasting effect and be like poetry.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with showing off one's skills.

The problem is that the showmanship cannot overshadow the main theme of the movie; after all, the core of the movie is the story.

Objectively speaking, Zhang Jianbai really did achieve both artistic and commercial success during his peak period, but that was only once.

But it was this time that made Zhang Jianbai addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.

Each movie they make is more obscure and more difficult to understand than the last.

If one were to take his films to a professional school to screen them, and take them apart to examine every detail, they would be considered masterpieces, with every shot, every line, every sound effect, every set design all having a meaning.

But when these "fine products" are combined together, it's like you go out for a meal and Zhang Jianbai brings you a bowl of chocolate and cheese-boiled beef slices. The ingredients are all top-quality, and even the bowls used to hold the dishes are Yuan blue and white porcelain.

But can this thing be delicious?
As a result, the evaluation of Zhang Jianbai is a bit polarized.

Most of the ordinary audiences don't recognize him at all.

But many teachers and students in professional colleges, including some audiences who consider themselves experts, think that he is simply a master.

For the teachers and students of these professional colleges, and some audiences who consider themselves experts, the harsher the ordinary audiences curse Zhang Jianbai, the more they praise him.

The reason for this is not because they really like Zhang Jianbai. Even if you ask them to buy a ticket to see Zhang Jianbai's movie, they may not be willing to buy it.

They simply want to feel a sense of superiority as "insiders" in front of ordinary audiences, that's all.

However, if people give themselves too much self-suggestion, they will sometimes really believe it.

Based on this situation, and because ordinary audiences have no chance to interact with Zhang Jianbai, the people he interacts with more happen to be these "insiders".

Now, Lao Zhang has been sent directly to the "information cocoon".

There are people praising you all around, and their praises are so convincing that anyone would feel that they will definitely be able to do it.

The most important thing is that it’s not just him, but all of his “seniors” who are on good terms with him are like this.

This is even true for many young artists, especially those with high traffic.

So, Lao Zhang, who felt that he had no problems, finally started to make efforts after taking over Huaqing for more than a month and released a number of project information to the public in succession.

Luo Shuquan, a teacher at Beijing Film Academy and known as a veteran actor, will co-star with Wang Yuruo in "New Paradise · Wangxian 2".

As for "Super Family", Zhang Jianbai directly pulled the owner of the famous crosstalk group "Jixiangshe" and several of his most popular apprentices to participate in the performance.

It was previously mentioned that the project "Shanghai Fortress" would be starred by Zhang Yujiao, and the director would be the husband of Hua Qing's deputy director Chu Shu, the famous Shanghai director Fan Zhao.

These are all the projects that Xu Xiyu left for Hua Qing. Zhang Jianbai certainly couldn't have approved only these projects, otherwise he would be eating Xu Xiyu's "leftovers".
So, he arranged for Lu Ye, a literary and artistic film director who was good at shooting grassroots themes, to form a TV series called "Above the Loess" to compete with "Mountains and Seas".

To be honest, Zhang Jianbai didn't expect Lu Ye to beat "Mountains and Seas", but he just wanted to find a way to star in a Northwest-themed TV series before "Mountains and Seas".

Firstly, it can compete with "Mountains and Seas" for high-quality Northwestern actors, thus weakening the choice of actors for "Mountains and Seas".

Secondly, it can first consume a wave of attention on the "Northwest theme". If "On the Loess" is well made, then there is no doubt that it is a good thing.

If the film is bad, that doesn't matter. It can be used to influence the public and make them have a negative impression of film and television dramas with "Northwest Rural Areas" themes for a period of time. This will also have some impact on "Mountains and Seas".

In short, Zhang Jianbai does not take "Mountains and Seas" seriously. In his opinion, it is a flattering drama. He laughed at this before. He thinks Xu Xiyu has degenerated and lost the pursuit of artistic expression.

He felt that Xu Xiyu should learn from him.

After ten years of hard work, this sword is his signature work after entering Huaqing, just like Xu Xiyu's "Dying to Survive".

Zhang Jianbai made a high-profile official announcement of "Fate", a large-scale ancient costume fantasy political drama directed by him and jointly produced by mainland China, Japan and the United States.

“The story of ‘Fate’ is about a girl who experienced a war when she was young and all her family members died. When she was about to starve to death, she met the goddess of fate, who gave her a blessing and a curse.

She will become the most beautiful woman in the world, but she will never get true love. When the heroine grows up, she becomes the emperor's favorite concubine, but the emperor encounters a coup..."

In a hotel in Shanghai, Nancy's voice of introduction kept ringing.

Xu Xiyu, who was beside her, had a weirder and more dazed expression the more he listened.

The most beautiful woman will never get true love; there are three male protagonists, a slave, a fallen general, and an ambitious prince.

Isn’t this “The Promise”?

Oh my god, it turns out that Director Chen is the real male lead of Blue Star Entertainment?

Why is his shadow everywhere?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu couldn't help but ask: "Nancy, are you saying that Inoue Saburo is very optimistic about this story?"

"It should be said that he is very optimistic about Huaqing. Huaqing and Donghai are in the process of merger and reorganization. After the reorganization, it can be regarded as the largest private film and television company in the entertainment industry in mainland China."

That’s right, the “Japan and America” in Zhang Jianbai’s official announcement of “Fate” refers to Saburo Inoue and Nancy.

Originally, "Wall-E" was being released well, but Xu Xiyu suddenly slipped away from Huaqing. This made Nancy angry, and she said that Xu Xiyu was not trustworthy and did not inform her when making important decisions.

But Xu Xiyu told her to tell the organization behind her that she was kicked out and that she had failed in the internal struggle of the company, which was a good thing.

It was indeed a good thing. At least Inoue Saburo was very happy. Xu Xiyu's sudden loss of power was simply great news for him.

So he quickly contacted Zhang Jianbai and expressed his intention to cooperate with Hua Qing.

Seeing this, Nancy thought this was a good gimmick to raise funds, so she went with Saburo Inoue.

Zhang Jianbai is quite polite to his foreign friends.

Especially when I heard that Saburo Inoue and Nancy were responsible for the distribution of "WALL-E" in North America, I became even more enthusiastic.

I don't know how the negotiations went, but Saburo Inoue invested in "Fate" and asked to add a Japanese actor and an American actor to play the male lead in the movie.

Not only did Zhang Jianbai not refuse this request, but he was more than happy to accept it.

Just like Mad Damon is the male lead in "The Great Wall" on Earth, Zhang Jianbai actually wants to find a big-name Hollywood male artist to play the male lead, which is considered international.

The task of finding big-name Hollywood actors was naturally given to Nancy.

So Xu Xiyu asked curiously, "Who are you going to find as the male lead for him?"

"I can't answer you for now because I don't know either, but it's nothing more than those popular ones, it depends on who has time." Nancy shrugged.

After saying this, before Xu Xiyu could answer, Nancy said, "Hey, Huaqing is currently advancing five projects simultaneously. What are your plans next?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu silently counted the projects he was promoting in his mind, and then shook his head: "I don't have any plans. After I go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to receive the awards, I will start my vacation."

"You lied to me again!" Nancy frowned. She didn't believe what Xu Xiyu said at all.

"I'm not going to lie to you, I'm going to enjoy my vacation, maybe one year, maybe two years, you know, I made a lot of money in these years.

Especially "Wall-E" and "The Intouchables", they brought me hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. I should enjoy them while I'm still young, right?" Xu Xiyu said as a matter of course.

"So where are you going on vacation? How about a trip to the United States? I have a vacation villa in Florida. Maybe we can go on vacation together." Nancy licked her lips.

When Nancy, the Florida, appeared, Xu Xiyu inexplicably remembered the famous saying "Florida doesn't keep idlers", and he couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"I remembered something happy."

"What's the happy thing?"

"My wife is giving birth." Xu Xiyu replied as if possessed by a ghost, and he regretted it the moment he finished replying.

But these words made Nancy blush directly, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "Xu, it's fine if you don't agree to my invitation, but you also say such ridiculous words. If you do this again, I will be angry!

Your wife gave birth to a child? Where did you get your wife? Should I still bless you? I wish your wife to give birth to twins, every time they are twins!"
