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

Chapter 223: When you are famous, you will have more romantic encounters! Do you have any old friends in London?
"Penny, I remember you saved a lot of photos of Yang, take them out and show them to me." The woman wrapped in a bath towel, with a pair of slender legs faintly visible and a very pure face stretched out her hand.

"Sister Shanshan, do you like Brother Yang too?" Penny's eyes lit up and she immediately put down the towel and went to get her cell phone.

Even though their own artist is not doing very well now, he is a contracted artist of Limin Tianwang Company after all. He has participated in many Hong Kong films and made himself familiar to the public. Maybe one day we will meet Zhang Yang.

At that time, you can chase stars on the spot, and maybe even get photos and autographs.

Penny opened the photo album on her phone and handed it to her boss.

"Why are there only ancient costumes and no modern ones?"

The slender jade finger kept sliding across the phone screen. After looking through dozens of photos, they were all ancient costumes with various kinds of service and makeup. Although they were all very handsome and different characters had different temperaments, there were certain differences from modern makeup.

"Yes, but they are a little hard to find." Penny thought for a moment and said, "When Brother Yang was young, he acted in Tangren's own costume dramas, and then in "Xuanyuan Sword", "The Four", "The Empress of China", and the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that has a trailer released."

“So are ‘Female Appearance’, ‘Chasing Fish’ and ‘Dragon King of the Capital of Gods’.”

"It seems that only "Youth" and "Special Identity" have modern makeup. I have saved the promotional posters, but they may be a bit difficult to find."

The elegant beauty in a bathrobe was speechless for a moment, and smiled and joked: "Penny, you know so much about Zhang Yang's situation, someone who doesn't know would think you are his assistant."

"No, Sister Shanshan, I remember all your work and works." Penny said immediately.

Hearing this, the woman's smile faded and she sighed subconsciously: "I don't have any work or works that you need to remember."

In March this year, "The Big Chase" co-starring her with Ren Dahua, Zhang Jiahui and others was released. In June, "Love Island" co-starring her with Zhang Zheng, Wu Zhenyu and others was released, but neither of them made much of a splash. Now she is filming a movie called "Embarrassing Things at the End of Life".

Compared to the 90% of people who have no roles to play or can only play minor roles, her treatment is already very good.

With the common people as her backing and Hong Kong's increasingly better security, she is not afraid of forced unspoken rules, and taking the initiative is another matter.

But compared with her "old friend" Yang Ying, she is nothing and often feels unbalanced.

In the entertainment industry, if you find a good boyfriend, or in other words, if you find the right person to back you up, your life will be much easier.

For example, Zhang Yang, she had heard from many people that he had incredible connections and background.

Now, listening to his upcoming dramas and movies, I can prove this point.

"By the way, Sister Shanshan."

Seeing Wen Yongshan not saying anything, Penny suddenly thought of something and ran to the side to get a magazine: "This one shows Zhang Yang's modern makeup, and there are also photos."

Wen Yongshan began to turn the pages, her eyes brightening: "It's him!"

"It's even on the cover of a top men's magazine."

“Maybe, this is an opportunity God has given me?”

Wen Yongshan clenched her hands.

It's not that she is pretending to be noble, she is just holding back a grudge and wants to defeat AB by "making a living on her own".

But now AB is doing better and better after moving to the north, and the Hong Kong circle is becoming more and more decadent, so she can't help but have some thoughts.

The most important point is that Zhang Yang is better than Huang Xiaoming in every way!

~Dividing line~
Zhang Yang didn't know that the woman was thinking about him again.

If he knew, he wouldn't be surprised at all, but based on the conditions he showed now, he was fatally attractive to most women.

For example, the "Fairy Sister" who is begging for mercy now.

"I can't do it anymore, please let me take it easy." Liu Yifei pleaded softly, "I didn't tell my assistant that I came out, and I have a road show tonight, please don't mess around."

"I don't want this to happen either." Zhang Yang supported his head with one hand and looked at Liu Yifei sideways: "But someone just said something shameless..."

Liu Yifei: “.”

"Yes, it's my fault that I don't have self-awareness. Please let me go." Liu Yifei chose to act coquettishly.

A good woman will not suffer a loss in front of her. She will exercise well to increase her physical strength and train her waist strength, and then come back after recuperating for a period of time wearing Wang Yuyan's battle uniform.

"Okay, since you're acting so coquettishly." Zhang Yang massaged Liu Yifei's acupoints and let her have a good rest.

After she fell asleep, Zhang Yang got dressed and went to the desk to continue working on the script.

Now is the early stage of entrepreneurship, and we need to work harder.

At the same time, in the conference room of Enlight Pictures.

Wu Xiubo, who had specially done his makeup and prepared himself mentally in advance and came here with high hopes, felt disappointed inside.

It was because Xue Xiaolu and the other two said after watching his audition performance, "Uncle Bo, you should go back first. We need to discuss this further. We will give you a reply after reporting to Director Jiang."

If it was a normal role audition, such a statement would not be a big deal, and few people in charge of the audition would give a reply immediately, even if they are very satisfied with the actor.

However, he was the only actor who auditioned for the movie "Beautiful Fate". Giving such an answer was almost the same as a direct rejection, which at least showed that they were not very satisfied with him.

This was his last straw, is it gone just like that?
"Director Xue, please give me a chance. I can definitely play this role better." Wu Xiubo wanted to fight for it again.

"Your acting is already very good." Xue Xiaolu smiled and said, "We just need to discuss it with the investors and others. You also know that the news about you now makes us very worried."

Having said that, Wu Xiubo didn't say anything else and could only leave with heavy steps.

After the door was closed, Tang Wei asked in a low voice: "Director Xue, do you really want to consider it?"

Xue Xiaolu glanced at her and said, "It seems that our heroine has a definite answer in her mind?"

"I am a normal person, I will definitely choose someone who is more handsome, younger, has better acting skills and is more suitable for me." Tang Wei did not deny it: "Besides, there is no scandal, so I am not afraid of being rejected by the audience. To be honest, I am not sure about my current reputation."

It is a foregone conclusion that she will become the heroine of "Beautiful Fate", because in addition to Li An's favor, she is now signed to Enlight Films.

There are only two female artists in this company, besides her, there is Gui Lunmei, so she is not worried.

"Then choose A Yang." Xue Xiaolu gave the answer: "Wu Xiubo's performance was very good, but with Zhang Yang's excellent performance, he was just a compromise, and I don't like compromise."

Tan Zishan: “.”

Sure enough, my opinion doesn’t matter.

But if she were to choose, it would definitely be Zhang Yang.

The three women agreed and reported the situation to the investors.

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't rush to make a decision, but asked Xue Xiaolu and Tang Wei about their opinions on Zhang Yang: "Tell me the truth, do you think he is qualified for this role? How suitable is he?"

"His acting skills are definitely at the level of an award-winning actor." Tang Wei gave her answer, and Xue Xiaolu followed up by saying, "No one is more suitable for this role than him."

Jiang Zhiqiang: “.”

I thought Zhang Yang could gain your approval and impress you with his strength, but I didn't expect that he could conquer you directly.

It seems that even if Wu Xiubo’s incident had not happened, Zhang Yang would definitely have gotten the role with his support.

"Then we can change the filming location. Director Xue, please discuss the details with the producer."

Jiang Zhiqiang, the largest investor, has no objection, and so does Didu Digital Impression Culture, which has invested roughly the same amount. They were originally brought into the partnership by Xue Xiaolu.

However, Didu and Hehe Culture Media had some objections. They were the companies behind Wu Xiubo, but the final result was that they were kicked out directly.

Then Jiang Zhiqiang called Zhang Yang and said, "I heard that you started a company. I quit Didu and Hehe Culture Media, and there is a gap of 8 million. Do you want to invest in it?"

"Eight million shortfall?" Zhang Yang was of course interested, and asked with a smile, "How much does Uncle Jiang plan to pay me?"

"Five million, maybe." Jiang Zhiqiang answered generously.

In 12, this price was not considered low for many first-line actors. After all, he was the male lead and could not be paid less. It was a way of raising Zhang Yang's status.

"Then the film remuneration will be converted into investment, and I will give you another 3 million." Zhang Yang made the decision without any nonsense. "Okay, I'll be in the capital recently, come and sign the contract with me when you are free." Jiang Zhiqiang was also swift and decisive.

"Okay." Zhang Yang agreed.

After he hung up the phone, Liu Yifei hugged his arm from behind and asked curiously: "I haven't even asked you yet, what role are you auditioning for, and can I play it?"

"'Beautiful Fate' is a love movie with an investment of 25 million yuan." Zhang Yang smiled and replied, "Enlightenment Films is the main investor, and the female lead is actress Tang Wei from their company. You have no chance, otherwise I would have told you long ago."

"Okay." Liu Yifei showed a regretful expression. She said she wanted to cooperate with Zhang Yang earlier.

"You'd better go back and get your teeth fixed, and wait to act with me in 'Miss Granny'." Zhang Yang reached out and patted her head.

"That's the only way." Liu Yifei stretched lazily, picked up the clothes on the ground and prepared to change into them, and said jokingly, "Finally, there was no violent tearing this time."

"It doesn't matter if it's torn. There's a shopping mall next door. You can just buy a new one." Zhang Yang turned his head and raised his eyebrows.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Let's go to the capital to sign the contract early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, something might go wrong." Zhang Yang answered decisively.

"Are you optimistic about this movie?" Liu Yifei felt Zhang Yang's urgency.

"Well, you'll know when it comes out." Zhang Yang didn't say much.

At present, she has been bragging a lot about Liu Yifei.

He didn't want to add more until a few of them were confirmed.

"You're still keeping me in suspense." Liu Yifei didn't ask any more questions. She leaned into Zhang Yang's arms and chatted with him about this and that.

When the time was almost right, she put on her equipment and asked Zhang Yang to take her back.

However, after sending the person off, Zhang Yang did not rush back to the hotel. Instead, he turned around and found a Hong Kong specialty, a paparazzi in the entertainment industry, and knocked him out with a knife.

"What kind of photos are these? There's no technical content."

After deleting the photos and destroying the memory card, Zhang Yang left calmly, as if he had never been there.

He did not return to the hotel, but called Gao Yuanyuan and the other two girls directly and made an appointment to meet at the hotel.

"The script is all ready. You can take your time reading it on my computer."

"After the filming of Black Coal, Thin Ice is finished, we should start shooting."

After dinner, Zhang Yang returned to the hotel and asked Gao Yuanyuan to go to his room.

Gao Yuanyuan was not in a hurry to read the script. She smiled and joked: "Aren't you afraid that Liu Yifei will come to see you at night?"

"Her roadshow will end at 10 o'clock at the earliest, so she will definitely go back to the hotel to sleep as soon as possible." Zhang Yang fiddled with the surveillance camera with his mobile phone.

"Hey, it's her."

When it was almost time for dinner, two women appeared in front of Room 706. One of them was the one who knocked on his door. She put on a mask after leaving.

But that quick glance was enough for him to recognize the woman's identity.

She debuted with the AB group and is known as one of the pioneers of young models. She played the sexy and cold female killer "Zhang Yijun" in the movie "Equator", the female lawyer in "Cold War 2", Li Ningyu in the spy drama "The Message", and the single mother in "Detective Chinatown 3". She is Wen Yongshan.

"It's quite a coincidence."

Zhang Yang turned off the surveillance on his mobile phone and went to the door to retrieve the pinhole camera.

Knowing the other party's identity, he was sure that it was an accident, otherwise it would have been too rough.

"Sister Yuanyuan, let's look at the script tomorrow. Go to bed first."

Gao Yuanyuan: "."

The night is long.

Some people don't want to sleep.

After tossing and turning all night, Wen Yongshan decided to recommend herself to Zhang Yang.

She got up, changed into the casual clothes she had carefully prepared, put on some light makeup, took a few deep breaths, and went out.

"Um!?"

She saw a cleaning lady's cart at the door of Room 706.

"Auntie, where is the person living in this room?" Wen Yongshan came to the cleaning car and looked at the auntie in the room.

"Checked out. I checked out half an hour ago." The aunt replied without saying anything.

"Oh okay, thank you~" Wen Yongshan smiled politely and went back to her room.

"call."

Wen Yongshan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know whether she should be glad or regretful.

"It's better to rely on your own efforts first."

On the other side, Zhang Yang, Gao Yuanyuan and the others had already arrived at the airport.

They flew back to the capital and went directly to Anle Films' company in the capital.

After friendly negotiations, Zhang Yang played the leading male role in "Beautiful Fate" for a salary of 5 million yuan, and added an additional investment of 3 million yuan, totaling 8 million yuan, which was converted into a 30% investment share.

"According to the original box office of 5.2 million yuan for this movie, one-third is more than 1.7 million yuan, and I can get more than million yuan. This does not include the long-term income after the copyright is sold, and the value increase of Chenhai by having the title of producer of this movie."

"The profit has nearly doubled, which is pretty good. I have to act well in this movie."

After returning to Liu Shishi's house, Zhang Yang first did some calculations.

After finishing the calculation, he looked at the time again and found that "Lost in Thailand" would be broadcast in two months, and by then it would create the first mainland box office miracle.

"It's a pity that it wasn't aired during a popular time period, otherwise it might have earned more box office and not been surpassed by Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

"But I have a role in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, so it doesn't matter which one becomes the No. 1 Chinese-language box office."

Zhang Yang started to deal with other matters. There were not many things to do in the company now, so he was not too busy.

The next day, he went to the airport early in the morning and headed to London with Li Yitong.

"Edge of Tomorrow" started filming on October 10st.

As the third male lead, he was also present at the event, but no one interviewed him.

After attending Tom Cruise's opening party, he returned to China to finish "Legend of the Mermaid" and "The Mystery of the Demons", and completed the audition for "Beautiful Woman".

Now that everything has been resolved, I naturally have to report back to the crew as soon as possible to avoid gossip.

Originally, in all areas of the West, there has been a chain of contempt between white, black and yellow.

Ten hours later.

Zhang Yang arrived in London without sleeping on the plane.

He was about to take a taxi to the crew when a man suddenly appeared behind him and covered his eyes: "Guess who I am."

Li Yitong: “.”

This is London, who needs to guess?
