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

Chapter 218 This wealth is about to hit me in the face! Da Meiyuan: Let the bullets fly for a while

"What?" Wu Xiubo put down the teacup, wondering in his heart.

Zhang Yang said he was a "good man" as if he was thanking him, but it gave him a chilling feeling.

"I have to thank you." Zhang Yang put away the photos on the table and said sincerely, "Telling you these things allows me to prepare in advance."

He had not heard of "Beautiful Fate", but he was very familiar with the movie after it was renamed "The Capital Falls in Love with Seattle".

Written and directed by Xue Xiaolu, the director and screenwriter of "Ocean Paradise" who has extensive connections in the cultural circle, the film was released for 46 days without an extension key and eventually grossed 5.2 million yuan, setting a new box office record for domestic romance films.

Winning, being nominated for, and winning awards at multiple film awards including the Huading Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards has greatly enhanced the film's status and influence within the industry.

This movie made the male lead Wu Xiubo really famous, and he has a place in the uncle circle and won countless little fans inside and outside the circle.

After the brief rise to fame and then soft ban in "Lust, Caution", the heroine Tang Wei has finally made her voice heard again, enjoying a second spring in her career. She has also taken advantage of the opportunity to start working on the Peninsula track, laying the foundation for her later return to the domestic entertainment industry.

If it weren't for the TV series she starred in, her performance would have been so poor, and she wouldn't have been confined to the Peninsula circle later.

Of course he wants to act in a movie like this which has status, can win awards, attract a lot of fans, and can help him build connections.

It's just that he doesn't lack resources now, and he wants to use Jiang Zhiqiang's favors to the best effect. In addition, the male lead of "Capital Meets Seattle" does not seem to be suitable for his age, so he didn't plan to do it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiqiang gave him an opportunity with just a slight move.

There is no way that we can let it go!
"You're welcome." Wu Xiubo always felt that Zhang Yang had something else in mind, but he still kept a smile on the surface: "I was also trying to get a role for myself, so I took this opportunity to repay a favor. I didn't expect you didn't even plan to act."

"If I had known earlier, I would have let you owe me a favor. I'll let you pay me back when there's a chance. Haha."

Wu Xiubo said the last sentence in a joking tone.

At the same time, this is also his attempt, hoping that Zhang Yang can be more "generous" as rumored in the circle.

For example, reply to the previous sentence: "Then I will owe you this favor for now, and I will repay you when I have the chance."

In this case, he is not completely a clown.

However, Zhang Yang would definitely not let him have his wish, and said with a smile: "There is nothing I can do if I miss it. Uncle Bo can give it to me again if he has the chance to come across my information. I will owe you a favor then."

Wu Xiubo: “.”

"Haha, just kidding." Zhang Yang's expression turned serious. "Actually, I did repay this favor. Although I didn't plan to act in the role, if Uncle Jiang really wants me to act in the role, I might take it considering that the director is Xue Xiaolu."

"But now, I will definitely reject "Beautiful Destiny", Uncle Bo, you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Wu Xiubo felt much more comfortable.

At least what I do is not in vain.

"Aren't you excited at all about working with Tang Wei?" Wu Xiubo gave a smile that showed you understand.

"Does this movie have the same level of violence as Lust, Caution?" Zhang Yang deliberately followed Wu Xiubo's scumbag line of thought.

"No, Tang Wei plays a pregnant woman, and the male lead is a gigolo who takes care of the baby and is more artistic." Wu Xiubo shook his head.

"You're still playing tricks on me." Zhang Yang felt very bored and shook his head, "What's the point? If you can make it real, I'll consider it."

"You kid." Wu Xiubo stretched out his hand and tapped Zhang Yang, trying to show closeness.

But Zhang Yang stopped smiling and changed the subject: "Only you, your friend, and that paparazzi have seen this photo, right?"

"Yeah." Wu Xiubo nodded, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"That's good." Zhang Yang smiled. "Although this thing won't have any impact on me, if someone were to spread rumors, I wouldn't be caught off guard, so I thank you."

"If you don't say anything now, I won't ask any more questions. But if someone leaks these photos later, it means that it must have been done by that paparazzi, and that the other party tricked you and your friend, Uncle Bo."

"By then, you will definitely not protect him anymore, right?"

"Of course." The smile on Wu Xiubo's face seemed a little forced.

There are no paparazzi here. He is the one causing trouble.

Zhang Yang's words were clearly a warning to him that no matter who had the information, he didn't want it to be exposed.

Once the news is exposed, Zhang Yang will definitely make trouble for him!

This is really a case of not gaining anything and getting into trouble.

"Uncle Bo, I just need your promise." Zhang Yang looked at his watch and slowly stood up: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Don't worry about this movie, I won't take it."

After saying that, Zhang Yang turned around and left.

After the door was closed for a while, Wu Xiubo took out his cell phone to make a call.

"How did you take the photo? Why didn't you know Zhang Yang came in?"

"Didn't you see it? Now keep an eye on him and take a picture of him leaving."

"How was the chat?"

Wu Xiubo fell into silence.

As for the purpose he wanted to achieve when meeting Zhang Yang, it was obviously successful.

And it succeeded very smoothly.

But his heart was not at ease at all.

"There's nothing wrong with the male lead. It's better to have less contact with Zhang Yang in the future."

Ten minutes later.

In the hotel room, Gao Yuanyuan poured water for Zhang Yang: "Why so fast?"

"This person is so disgusting. I'm afraid we'll get angry if we continue talking." Zhang Yang told the truth.

Wu Xiubo thought he had the information, but he didn't know that he was the one who had the real information.

If he provided the information, Wu Xiubo would definitely be forced to give in, but he would also have more enemies with evil intentions.

If Wu Xiubo gets angry and exposes the photos of him, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi, it will also bring him some trouble.

The right thing to do is to play it safe first, buy more time, do things secretly behind the scenes and get the benefits.

"So those people who followed you were arranged by him behind the scenes." After listening to Zhang Yang's narration, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly realized something and showed concern in her eyes: "Then what are you going to do? If he lets someone else know, you'll be in trouble."

"Yeah, so I must make some preparations in advance." Zhang Yang held his chin and thought: "I don't want a fire in the backyard one day."

"I am a greedy and possessive person, and I don't want to give up what I have."

“This is not an easy problem to solve.”

At this point, Zhang Yang turned to look at Gao Yuanyuan, and asked in surprise: "You actually care about this? Don't you want my backyard to catch fire?"

"Maybe, I can only live with you, my sister."

"I haven't thought about it at all." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, her eyes clear: "I've seen a lot in this circle, and in the circles of rich women and rich men. I find that so-called single love is harder than winning the lottery."

"Those famous directors, those investors, which one of them doesn't have colorful flags flying outside?"

"If you want a man like you to be loyal, I might as well imagine that I will wake up tomorrow and be the only woman in the world."

"You and I are just living together."

Zhang Yang: “.”

Mature sisters see things more clearly.

It can also be said to be awake in the world.

"Here, once you join, you won't be able to withdraw." Zhang Yang changed the subject.

"Brother, this depends on your ability." Gao Yuanyuan's eyes moved downwards, and a charming look appeared on her pure and dignified face. "As long as you let me eat enough, I am a lazy person and I am nostalgic. I can always eat what you cook~"

"What does it mean to be capable?" Zhang Yang picked up Gao Yuanyuan and his eyes became aggressive.

"At least now, you are capable enough." Gao Yuanyuan whispered into Zhang Yang's ear.

Zhang Yang's lips curled slightly: "Then I have to tell you, I am not only capable, but also have many tricks."

"Follow me, and you won't lack novelty."

Ah ~
With Gao Yuanyuan's sweet laughter, the house was filled with spring.

~Dividing line~
Early the next morning.

On the way to the set, Zhang Yang called Jiang Zhiqiang and said, "Uncle Jiang, I've read the script. It's quite interesting. I'm more surprised that you have so much confidence in me."

"From the perspective of image fit and experience alone, Wu Xiubo is definitely more suitable than me, right?"

In the movie "The Capital Falls in Love with Seattle", the male protagonist is a driver of the Seattle Maternity Center. His Chinese name is Hao Zhi. He looks down and out, but he was once a famous doctor of cardiovascular diseases in the country. He came here for his daughter.

Although Hao Zhi is capable, he does not earn as much as his wife, and over time he has been rumored to be a gigolo.

The image of this character must not be bad, otherwise no one will think that he is qualified to live off his wife and let her give birth to a daughter.

At the same time, the daughter of this character is about ten years old, and considering her past achievements in medicine, an image between thirty-five and forty-five years old is more appropriate.

No matter whether it is "living off a gigolo", "feeling of cowardice", or the psychology of a man in his thirties, Zhang Yang can "play his true self" and play this role very well.

But Jiang Zhiqiang didn't know this, but he believed that this young man in his early twenties could play the role of a "single" father well, which is very interesting.

Even if you want to repay a favor, it shouldn't be that serious, right?

Besides, Jiang Zhiqiang didn't give him this role as a favor.

"Ayang, I've probably eaten more salt than you've eaten rice." Jiang Zhiqiang was looking at a planning proposal. He smiled when he heard Zhang Yang's words: "We've known each other for so long, I think I know you pretty well."

"Compared to people of your age, your behavior and ideas are much more mature. If you didn't look young, I would have thought you were a 30 or 40-year-old who has been in society for a long time."

"I believe you can play this role well. If you accept it, it means you think so too. But if you think you can't play it well, you will definitely reject me honestly, right?"

Zhang Yang said that you are really good at judging people, but he still has some doubts: "But Wu Xiubo is much more suitable than me, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang put down the plan in his hand and asked, "You have a resource, do you want to give it to others or to your own people?"

"Haha, I asked a stupid question." Zhang Yang also felt a little stupid.

China is a society based on personal connections.

Not to mention that some people in the school are corrupt and violate laws and regulations for personal gain.

If it is reasonable, legal and compliant, why should the same opportunity be given to you instead of to someone I know?

Some fans keep saying that so-and-so has great resources, but in essence they are just “sour grapes”.

Well, except for Da Tiantian, who can’t be promoted no matter how hard we try!
"Uncle Jiang, I will audition for this role, but can the audition be postponed? And tell people outside that I may not be available for the role?" Zhang Yang said the main purpose of his call: "By then, I will definitely be able to beat Wu Xiubo."

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't rush to agree, but took out the schedule and looked at it, then asked: "It can only be delayed until October 10th at the latest, otherwise it will be difficult to say to other investors."

"That's enough, Uncle Jiang." Zhang Yang answered confidently, and then asked, "Can the heroine be changed?"

"Who do you want to play the role?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked instead of answering.

"Well, there are many people I can recommend, including Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Shishi, and Liu Yifei," Zhang Yang replied.

"You have quite a lot of female confidants." Jiang Zhiqiang laughed and said, "The role of Tang Wei was asked by Li An to me. It's a compensation for the girl. If you want it."

"I'm just asking casually. If it's a little difficult, forget it." Zhang Yang changed his words decisively.

His original intention was to replace her with his own woman if there was a chance.

But if he has to use up his favor, he might end up in conflict with Li An, so forget it.

After all, Tang Wei is his fellow villager and also a poor man.

"That's it, Uncle Jiang!"

Zhang Yang and Jiang Zhiqiang hung up the phone.

He patted his cheek and his eyes became serious.

Next, we have to work harder.

Time flies like sand through your fingers.

Zhang Yang devoted himself to the filming of "Dragon King of the Mystical Capital" and "Legend of the Mermaid". Other people in the two crews could feel his state and were inexplicably motivated.

On September 9, he finished filming his role in "Legend of the Mermaid", but the rest of the crew will probably have to continue filming for about half a month.

On October 10, he finished filming all his scenes in "Shendu Dragon King" and also finished shooting the female lead's scenes as the assistant director. The remaining scenes of those actors were naturally directed by Xu Ke himself.

Because he was too serious about it, he didn't have time to go out and seize some opportunities. During this period, Liu Yifei came to see him and said that the song would be released on New Year's Day.

But she did not stay for a few days and went back to the crew of "The Four" to film, and started promoting the movie "The Palace of the Bronze Bird" on September 9.

"Are we going directly to Hong Kong next?" Gao Yuanyuan was packing her luggage in the hotel room.

She did not bring a personal assistant because she did not want people around her to know about her relationship with Zhang Yang for the time being.

To the outside world, she is now sitting at home picking her feet because of the failure of "Search" and the offense against Chen Kaige and his wife.

"Well, let's go there and play for a few days first." Zhang Yang nodded and hugged Gao Yuanyuan from behind.

"I understand." Gao Yuanyuan smiled gently: "Let the bullets wait for a while."

That evening, Wu Xiubo received a call from his agent: "Xiubo, we've received confirmation that Zhang Yang will not take this role. You just need to go through the motions on the 8th."

"That's good." Wu Xiubo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang did not lie to him and really refused to act in this play.

"You must take good care of this information and expose it later if necessary." Wu Xiubo warned: "If you expose it now, it will easily cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I understand!" The agent replied with a smile: "If he offends you in the future, we will expose him again."

Wu Xiubo smiled without comment.

Having successfully landed the role, he was in a good mood. After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and said, "Lin'er, I'll be waiting for you in room XX of XX hotel."

After hanging up the phone, he disguised himself and went to the hotel room he had booked.

Because he was in a good mood, he also bought flowers and gifts, ready to have some romance.

I believe that tonight, his little wife will be willing to fulfill some of his wishes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a rapid knock at the door instead of a doorbell.

Wu Xiubo, who was wearing pajamas, frowned slightly and came to the door and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, open the door quickly." Chen's voice revealed anxiety.

"What's wrong? Is a wild dog chasing you?" Wu Xiubo opened the door and let Chen in.

"Stray dog!?" Chen came in and immediately closed the door. His face was pale and his voice was trembling: "I wish it was a stray dog."

"Uncle Bo, our story has been exposed!"

Hearing this, Wu Xiubo's expression changed slightly: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, did someone take a photo of us?"

He suspected Zhang Yang first. This was his sixth sense.

"Group photo?" Chen smiled uncomfortably: "It's a video. Judging from the content, it was taken in August."

Wu Xiubo: ???
