Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 245 Donnie, who was "persuaded," and Zhang Ziyi, who lacked discernment.
In less than five minutes, Robert Downey Jr. couldn't take it anymore.

My whole body feels numb and itchy.

His clothes were already completely soaked with sweat.

But unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it.

They can't even blink.

Harvey, who was standing to the side, was also completely frightened.

She was thinking to herself that she must never offend Xu Yi in the future.

Otherwise, give him a good whack too; it'd be worse than killing him.

The crucial point is that there has been no evidence whatsoever since!
No one would believe it if I told them!

Although foreigners keep calling Chinese kungfu.

In reality, not many people truly believe it.

It's just a form of exercise at most.

Then Xu Yi tapped Robert Downey Jr. a few more times.

So he was finally able to move.

The numbness and itching sensation on my body also disappeared.

He still couldn't speak.

This is to prevent him from suddenly shouting.

Although Xu Yi's physical persuasion wouldn't actually cause him any harm.

However, severe dehydration can still be dangerous.

Most importantly, Xu Yi could tell that this guy's mental state was a bit off.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be time to take the medication.

"Given your current physical condition, even if you suddenly die, it won't raise any suspicion."

"But don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you so easily."

"But if you deliberately cause me trouble again, I guarantee you'll experience this every night!"

Xu Yi said expressionlessly.

Since this guy hasn't really quit that stuff, there must be residue in his body.

Moreover, since medication needs to be taken every day, the amount remaining in the body will certainly be considerable.

Once his body was free, Robert Downey Jr. immediately collapsed onto the bed.

Upon hearing Xu Yi's words, he immediately tried to get up again.

But at this time, his body was too weak.

He could barely prop his body up a little.

Then he looked at Xu Yi and nodded frantically.

Seeing this, Xu Yi walked over and touched him again.

"Director, I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"

Upon discovering that he could speak again, Robert Downey Jr. immediately begged for mercy.

At that moment, he was truly afraid.

I absolutely never want to experience that feeling again.

Most importantly, he also knew.

He couldn't tell anyone about this.

That means no one can help him.

He had no injuries on his body, which could serve as evidence.

In other words, Xu Yi can do whatever he wants to him!

Even if he eventually dies from being played, it can be faked that he died from taking drugs!
"It better be this way!"

Xu Yi snorted lightly.

"After the movie finishes its run, you'll receive a reward of 200 million US dollars, and for the next movie, you can get a reward of 500 million US dollars, provided you do your best to act well!"

Xu Yi said again.

After Iron Man 2, this guy has eight more film contracts.

Therefore, oppression cannot be used as a means of coercion.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do without this guy.

Or perhaps this guy is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

His losses were still very significant.

Besides, he wasn't the only one who paid for it.

He only needs to contribute 40%.

Still before tax.

But simply increasing the actor's salary is definitely not an option.

Like many companies, they would rather pay new employees who have just joined the company a higher salary than long-term employees.

They were also unwilling to raise wages for long-term employees.

Giving raises to long-term employees involves too many problems.

Although this is definitely wrong.

However, depending on your position, you need to look at the problem from different angles.

If it were Xu Yi who wanted a pay raise now, he would definitely be even more outrageous than Robert Downey Jr.!
"Thank you, director!"

Robert Downey Jr. expressed his gratitude.

Despite this verbal promise, he still didn't believe it.

But what can you do if you don't believe it?
Xu Yi then waved his hand, signaling Robert Downey Jr. to leave.

Otherwise, if we wait any longer, this guy will probably really have a meltdown.

Then he looked at Harvey.

“Harvey, I believe you are a smart man, and I don’t want to have to use the same methods on you one day.”

Xu Yi said very sincerely.

"Don't worry, Xu, that day will never come."

Harvey immediately stood up from the sofa.

He assured her again, "Never!"

"Yes, that would be best."

Xu Yi smiled and nodded.

After chatting with Harvey for a few more minutes, he also left.

Scarlett was still waiting for him in the room.

That was only the first half.

The halftime break is now over.

Naturally, it's time for the second half.

Harvey then left his room.

Wengernispatrow went to visit his old flame, catching up with her.

I just watched a performance, and I don't know if it was real or an illusion.

He was warned by Xu Yi again.

He also needed some comfort at this time.

And at this moment, his back was also soaked.

As for those little tricks behind Xu Yi's back, to hell with them!

He definitely wouldn't dare!
The filming proceeded as scheduled on the second day.

Robert Downey Jr.'s condition was completely different from the previous few days.

I hardly made any mistakes all day.

After all, his acting skills were already quite good.

And it's also very suitable for the role of Tony Stark.

In addition, I only sweated a little last night and felt a bit listless.

Go back, take your medicine, and then get a good night's sleep.

Then there will be no problem.

……

"As expected of a Hollywood production team, their level of professionalism is truly unmatched in China! Of course, it's mainly Director Xu who's amazing!"

Han Sanping stood behind Xu Yi and watched him for the entire morning.

After finishing work at noon, he immediately praised it. It even sounded a bit like flattery.

It has been more than half a month since Xu Yi helped Robert Downey Jr. adjust his condition.

Filming for Iron Man 2 is now one-third complete.

Meanwhile, there are four investors in Iron Man 2.

There were four producers.

The producer's salary is 600 million US dollars, plus 2.5% of the box office revenue.

Harvey, as the executive producer, received a 300 million yuan fee and a 1% share of the box office revenue.

The other three producers each received a 100 million yuan fee and a 0.5% share of the box office revenue.

Han Sanping is naturally the producer on Huaying's side.

So he received 100 million US dollars just from the producer's fee.

The subsequent earnings were even better, with another several million US dollars in revenue sharing.

However, as the chairman of Huaying, he certainly cannot keep this money for himself; he must hand it over.

Even so, it was enough to excite him.

The fact that an individual handed over 600 million US dollars at once is absolutely worth making a big deal out of.

They might even receive praise from their superiors.

"Mr. Han, you're too kind. However, if the domestic film market wants to grow bigger and stronger, it does need to be more professional."

Xu Yi said with a smile.

Specialization has its advantages.

Even makeshift troupes have their advantages.

But the shortcomings of a makeshift team are definitely greater.

But that had nothing to do with him.

He didn't have any lofty ideals.

"Director Xu is right."

Han Sanping nodded in agreement.

But specialization cannot be achieved overnight.

Moreover, this involves many other issues...

"I'm sorry to have caused Director Xu trouble this time..."

Han Sanping changed the subject and looked at the crew members not far away.

Some of them are from Huaying Film Studio.

These people came to Hollywood to learn advanced techniques.

"It was no trouble at all, just something I did on the spur of the moment."

Xu Yi smiled again.

Since it's a collaboration, helping out with small favors is definitely not a problem.

But if it's too troublesome, then it won't work.

At the very least, they can't help for free.

Moreover, the people sent by Huaying Film Studio are certainly professionally competent.

In return, Huaying Film Studio will use artists from Yichuang Future in its future films.

That's perfectly reasonable.

At that moment, a beautiful Chinese woman walked over.

Needless to say, it was Zhang Ziyi.

Xu Yi had previously promised her that she would continue to star in "Iron Man 2".

Moreover, as a co-production, Iron Man 2 must include Chinese actors.

The screen time can't be too little.

However, that was the version shown in the country.

In the version released overseas, Zhang Ziyi's role will definitely not be very large.

"Director Xu, Chairman Han, lunch is ready, you can eat now."

Zhang Ziyi approached Xu Yi and Han Sanping, her face full of flattery.

Actually, it will be a few more days before her scenes are filmed.

But she arrived at the film set more than a week early.

The purpose is self-evident.

Xu Yi naturally didn't stand on ceremony.

There was a shared bike available, but pedaling it wasn't quite enough.

It would be bad if the pedal really broke.

Now I've unlocked another one, so I can switch between them.

His worries lessened considerably.

In addition, most of Scarlett's scenes have already been filmed.

Only one or two scenes were left, but they haven't been filmed yet.

This wasn't something Xu Yi did intentionally.

Iron Man 2 is shot out of time.

That is, after filming in one scene, we go to film in another scene.

That scenario hasn't happened yet.

It's impossible to arrange a special filming schedule just for a minor actress like Scarlett Johansson.

It was definitely not Xu Yi who deliberately filmed that scene later...

"Ziyi, you'd better perform well this time, don't embarrass the Chinese people!"

Hearing Zhang Ziyi put her name after Xu Yi's, he was shocked.

Han Sanping felt a surge of dissatisfaction.

Although he never put on any airs in front of Xu Yi.

One could even say that he acted very humbly.

But one was an official, and the other a businessman.

He's also a businessman in the entertainment industry.

Can that be truly equal?
Moreover, Xu Yi's influence is mainly overseas.

Although there is an entertainment company in China, it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see that it is just a hobby.

All I can say is that he has a very strong foundation.

You can develop quite well even if you just play around with it.

So, it's fine to talk about foreign celebrities.

Zhang Ziyi, as a domestic celebrity, is so lacking in tact.

That's totally inappropriate.

Or do you, Zhang Ziyi, really think so?

Can I make it in Hollywood?
And they can even disregard the domestic market?

However, given his shrewdness, he naturally wouldn't show this dissatisfaction.

"Chairman Han, don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"

Zhang Ziyi immediately spoke.

He even revealed a resolute expression.

It doesn't look like an act at all.

Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

No wonder her reputation in the entertainment industry has never been very good.

And they always seem to offend people in various ways.

This emotional intelligence is indeed a bit worrying.

However, Xu Yi still greatly admired her courage and willingness to go all out.

It's no wonder that among the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in China), her status has always been firmly number one.

What's even more remarkable is that so many celebrities have fallen from grace.

Despite her numerous scandals, she has remained unscathed.

In addition, Xu Yi's emotional intelligence is actually not very good.

It's just that no one dared to argue with him...
