Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 204: Sisters are so considerate and sensible! Playing a new game
"Pa!" Diao Yinan slapped himself.

Zhang Yang:?
"It's true!" Diao Yinan spat out these three words in an excited tone. He didn't care about the pain at all. He grinned and said, "Boss Zhang, you have the final say on the female lead. It doesn't matter if it's Pang Bing or Gao Yuanyuan."

"Do you miss Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi?" Zhang Yang asked.

Diao Yinan's eyes widened: "Boss Zhang, you are not making fun of me, are you?"

It’s not that Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are better than Pang Bing and Gao Yuanyuan.

In terms of film pay and international fame, Pang Bing is still above the other two women.

However, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are new first-line actresses and are more popular among young people, who are the main consumers in movie theaters. There will be a bigger market for their romantic, suspense, crime and literary film.

There is nothing wrong with the image of Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi when they play the role of Wu Zhizhen.

Which boss doesn't want a woman like this?

Which man can tolerate a man flirting with and seducing a wife like this?

"I'm not that boring. Let's use them as backups." Zhang Yang chuckled and said, "I'll let Lao Hu play the role of the heroine's husband. What do you think?"

It's still the same logic. When he asked Lao Hu to borrow money to invest in "Lost in Thailand", as long as he gave him multiple compensation afterwards, he wouldn't consider this favor as owed.

Now he wants Lao Hu to play the villain role. Considering the other party's desire to act in a movie, he can be convinced as long as the reason is right.

When "Black Coal, Thin Ice" won the Golden Bear Award, Hu Ge had to thank him for the invitation.

“Any male lead is fine!” Diao Yinan said immediately.

"The male lead is not good enough, his acting skills are still a little lacking, and he needs to hone his skills." Zhang Yang shook his head and denied: "If it's the male lead, I will play it."

Diao Yinan:? ? ?

"You!?" Diao Yinan widened his eyes.

"Why? I'm also an actor, so I can't act?" Zhang Yang asked back.

"This." Diao Yinan rubbed his head. "It's not a question of whether it's possible or not, it just feels inappropriate. Director Zhang, let's not talk about your acting skills first, but your face is not suitable for the role of Zhang Zili. You are too young and too handsome."

Diao Yinan was not making an excuse, but stating a fact.

The male protagonist Zhang Zili is a policeman in his early thirties who left the criminal police force because of a mistake. He gives people the impression of being decadent, shrewd, and eager to prove himself.

Zhang Yang is not suitable.

"I can make myself look younger with makeup. If I want to look handsome, I can also become uglier. What do you think about gaining 30 pounds?" Zhang Yang expressed his plan.

Idol-type idols don’t count. For actors who think of themselves as artists, gaining or losing weight, and making themselves look ugly and haggard in order to perform well in a play are all common practices.

Zhang Yang is not a pure actor, but more like a professional star, but he also has professional ethics as an actor and he would not refuse to cut his hair just to play a soldier.

In addition, he has the internal strength accumulated from "a breath of kidney energy", which can help him actively use energy, such as accelerating metabolism and accumulating fat. Whether it is gaining weight or losing weight, it can be done much faster than ordinary people, without the need for overeating or losing weight for a long time.

He doesn't mind the ugliness when acting.

"Gain 30 pounds!?" Diao Yinan was surprised by Zhang Yang's determination.

If Zhang Yang could really gain 30 pounds for this role and his acting skills were up to par, he could play the role.

"Well, let's try a play."

Without waiting for Diao Yinan to speak, Zhang Yang's temperament and eyes suddenly changed.

He is not really acting now, he is just putting himself in the situation before his rebirth when he was in his thirties and was frustrated, and could only rely on beautiful and wealthy women to help him get by.

A decadent spirit but a self-disciplined body just fits the mentality of a criminal policeman who wants to make a contribution and return to the police station.

If he grows a beard and makes his skin look older, there is absolutely no problem in saying that he is a handsome uncle in his thirties.

"Captain Wang, give me a chance, I will be a good policeman." Zhang Yang changed his position so that half of his buttocks were sitting on the sofa, picked up the teacup and used it as a wine glass, his eyes were humble without sharpness, and seemed to be a little flattering.

Diao Yinan: "."

Just now his friend said that Zhang Yang is a good actor. Directors such as Xu Ke and Zhou Xingchi have praised her, and she is also very good at action scenes.

But he didn't expect that he could act so well and it happened so quickly.

"Boss Zhang." Diao Yinan picked up the teacup, toasted Zhang Yang, and drank it all in one gulp: "You are the investor, you have the final say."

"For this movie, I also plan to be the producer and supervisor. Of course, I will also be the producer. I will also ask Mr. Han San to help us avoid being blocked by the censorship. What do you think?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"You have the final say!" Diao Yinan almost laughed: "I just want to be a good director and screenwriter!"

Zhang Yang is going to invest 15 million, isn't it natural for him to be the producer?

The producer is supposed to be the investor, so isn't it natural for Zhang Yang to be the producer?

As for the producer, there is even less of a problem as he will only start working after the film is finalized and reviewed.

As an investor, Zhang Yang has the right of veto.

As for bringing along Mr. Han San, wouldn’t that mean he would be extremely rich?
"Well, when you come to my company to sign the contract in a few days, I will definitely have to say a few words to your partner, right?" Zhang Yang smiled.

“Okay!” Diao Yinan agreed readily.

At this point, the matter has basically been settled.

Diao Yinan's expectation for this film is that it will become the number one suspense romance film in mainland China.

Zhang Yang did not tell him that he planned to send the film to Berlin, so as not to put pressure on him.

In order to achieve success in Berlin, "Black Coal, Thin Ice" originally found the Eagle Sauce to invest in the film in the later stage, including NBA star Carmelo Anthony, hip-hop singer Eminem and others.

If he wants to go to Berlin, he needs to build up a relationship with Tom Cruise and Doug during the filming of Edge of Tomorrow and ask them to help him with public relations, so that he can be more stable.

"See you later, then."

Zhang Yang shook hands with Diao Yinan and said goodbye.

When they returned to the hotel, he hugged Liu Shishi and planned to sleep.

As for who will play the female lead, it depends on who is lucky.

Fat Bing is actually the most suitable candidate, but she may not agree.

Just then, his cell phone suddenly vibrated and he stood up.

"Whoever you want can come?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised.

"Sister Bingbing." Zhang Yang answered the phone: "Why are you calling me so late?"

"Why, do I have to choose a time to call you?" Pang Bing asked back.

"It's better to pick a time." Zhang Yang didn't indulge him: "Otherwise, next time you beg for mercy, you'll see if I agree or not."

"You actually threatened me?" Fat Bing's tone changed slightly: "Originally, I wanted to recommend you as the male lead in a movie, but now it seems I have to reconsider it."

Recommend him to star in a movie?
It seems that this sleep was not in vain.

It's worth it that I wanted her to play in "Black Coal, Thin Ice".
"Are you talking about 'One Night Surprise'?" Zhang Yang asked.

"One Night Surprise" is China's first sexy comedy invested by several large companies. It can be regarded as a movie with a strong female lead, and it has to be said that Pang Bing is a great female lead.

The heroine Michelle Yim has an excellent plan for her life and becomes the director of a large advertising planning company. While her career is going smoothly, she, who has been single, finds out that she is pregnant. According to the time calculation, every man who appeared at her birthday party a month ago is a suspect, and the story unfolds from here.

"You are really well-informed." Pang Bing sighed, "It's 'One Night Surprise', which is expected to start filming in November this year. If you want to act, with your current popularity, I can directly cast you as the male lead."

"One of the male second roles is played by Li Min."

This is a lot of resources, and my sister really cares about me.

Of course, with his current popularity and the long list of dramas to be broadcast, it is a mutually beneficial situation.

The problem is that "One Night Surprise" is of mediocre quality, received failing ratings, and had a box office of less than 200 million.

Although it is a good result for Fat Bing.

But he doesn't want to be his resume.

“That’s a pity.” Zhang Yang decisively and “sadly” refused: “Both ‘The Dragon King’ and ‘Legend of the Fish’ can be finished before mid-October, but by then I will be filming ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ abroad.”

"I have to return to China in December. By that time, I have two movies to shoot, both of which I will invest in and play the male lead in. I can't come because of overlapping projects."

"I am not worthy of the benefit my sister gave me this time."

Hearing this, Pang Bing felt a little regretful.

From a profit perspective, Zhang Yang's good looks and marketing skills that are a perfect match for her, plus the fact that many of his TV series and movies will have been aired when "One Night Surprise" is broadcast, his popularity and status will continue to grow, so it is definitely a win-win cooperation.

From a personal perspective, she wanted to be a crew couple with Zhang Yang for a while.

Pity.

"Forget it, let's wait for the next opportunity."

Although it was regrettable, Pang Bing was not too sad and readily changed the subject.

"Do you want me to make a cameo appearance in your two movies, like Lost in Thailand?"

This time, Pang Bing was still going to make a guest appearance in "Lost in Thailand", but it was Zhang Yang who invited him.

"It depends on your time then. I definitely want you to come." Zhang Yang said bluntly.

"That depends on your performance." Fat Bing's tone became seductive.

"Have I ever performed badly?" Zhang Yang asked back, "It's always been you who performed badly. Where's Fan Ye?"

Fat Ice:!
"You wait for me!"

The two of them argued for a while, and Zhang Yang put down his phone and prepared to go to bed.

A few minutes later, his phone vibrated again.

It is certain that it is not any of the other women, such as Nazha, Liu Yifei, etc.

But he still picked it up and took a look.

"Gao Yuanyuan?"

This woman doesn't seem to be bothered by nagging.

"Sister Yuanyuan." Zhang Yang answered the phone with a gentle voice.

Gao Yuanyuan is different from Pang Bing. What she needs is a mature man who cares about her and gives her warmth.

"Ayang, I want physical therapy~" Gao Yuanyuan said straight to the point.

Zhang Yang: “.”

It turns out that Gao Yuanyuan is a shy girl.

"I'm not in the capital, and I've been filming in Hengdian recently," Zhang Yang replied.

"I'm in Hengdian, here to relax. If you need, I can make a guest appearance in your play." Gao Yuanyuan said in a soft tone.

Zhang Yang rubbed his eyebrows in surprise.

It seems that what someone said is right.

That road leads to a woman's heart.

And after he entered that road, he drove a unique high-speed train.

"See you tomorrow then. I just happen to have something to talk to you about." Zhang Yang's eyes flashed.

When it comes to the role of Wu Zhizhen, if we talk about age, temperament, and the ability to attract both young and old, especially the charm that can kill men, it has to be played by Gao Yuanyuan.

The most important point is that Gao Yuanyuan, who suffered a setback with "Search", does not have a high salary now, but after the broadcast of "Let's Get Married" next year, her popularity will soar again, and she will be awarded the titles of national daughter, daughter-in-law and goddess, and her career will usher in a higher second spring.

Then wait until next year when "Black Coal, Thin Ice" will participate in the Berlin Film Festival.

"It has the best value for money, and she must be available now, it just depends on whether she is willing." Zhang Yang thought to himself.

In fact, he knew that Gao Yuanyuan would agree 99% of the time.

After chatting with Gao Yuanyuan for a while, Zhang Yang hung up the phone and hugged Liu Shishi.

This time, no one came to disturb him, allowing him to sleep until dawn, until he was woken up by Liu Shishi.

"You know what the price is for not letting me sleep in, right?"

Zhang Yang pushed Liu Shishi down on the bed.

The commotion lasted until noon, and Zhang Yang let Liu Shishi go only because he had to go back to the crew of "Shendu Dragon King" to film.

On the business car to Hengdian, Zhang Yang took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet and asked Mo Xiangwan, "How is the arrangement of what you led people to do last night?"

That was his last marketing effort for "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky".

It will also become a lasting meme ten or twenty years later and continue to be popular in the era of short videos.

"Uh..." Mo Xiangwan's expression was a little strange: "It's done. Brother Yang, the effect you wanted has been achieved, but there was an accident. Now the related topic is the second most searched topic."

Accident?

Zhang Yang clicked into the Weibo hot search list.

After a night of fermentation, topics related to his fan meeting held in Shanghai yesterday afternoon firmly occupied the top of the hot search list, such as [Zhang Yang's "Little Lucky"], [Zhang Yang's first fan meeting], [Yangshi CP after-sales guarantee], [The three immortals reunited], etc.

All of them attracted countless onlookers.

However, the first hot search is: [These singers are playing a very new game]

Zhang Yang:?
"Let me see what's going on."
