Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.
Chapter 51 is all about connections.
In 2009, Zhang Yang spent the Spring Festival on set. It wasn't that he didn't want a holiday, but he was rushing to meet the deadline. He wanted "The Heirs" to be released during the summer vacation, and at the same time, he also wanted to finish filming "You Are the Apple of My Eye" as soon as possible.
It's actually quite common for actors to spend the Spring Festival on set. After all, it's too expensive for film crews to take time off, so they usually try to make the most of it.
Although he was spending the Lunar New Year on set, Zhang Yang wasn't heartless. He gave everyone a day off on New Year's Eve and started work again on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Although Zhang Yang did not participate in the Spring Festival Gala, he still watched it, albeit alone in his hotel room.
Although I've watched "Not Short of Money" many times, I still find it quite interesting every time I watch it again. The king of sketch comedy is the king of sketch comedy; he's far superior to the Spring Festival Gala sketches of later generations that only know how to make dumplings.
On February 14th, Valentine's Day, "The Heirs" finally wrapped up filming.
After filming the last scene, director Liu Junjie shouted through a megaphone, "I hereby announce that filming for 'The Heirs' has officially wrapped!"
Filming has wrapped!
Filming has wrapped!
Jing Tian and Wang Like, the two little girls, hugged each other excitedly, looking very thrilled.
Liu Junjie approached Zhang Yang with a big smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, I heard you invested in a movie. I wish you great success at the box office."
"I'm just testing the waters, but I still hope to take your good wishes, Brother Liu. If the box office is a huge success, you must treat me to dinner."
What's with this "Your box office is a huge success, so I'll treat you to dinner" nonsense?
Seeing Liu Junjie's incredulous look, Zhang Yang burst into laughter, just like the carefree, silly son of a landlord.
Actually, not many people in the mainland entertainment industry might know that Zhang Yang took over the "You Are the Apple of My Eye" project, but in the Taiwanese entertainment industry, a lot of people know about it. Besides, Qi Mingwei got Ke Jingteng through Liu Junjie's connections.
Originally, Liu Junjie didn't know that Qi Mingwei was Zhang Yang's man, but after seeing how respectful Qi Mingwei was to Zhang Yang, if he still couldn't guess, he shouldn't be in the entertainment industry.
At this moment, Lin Yushen also walked over, smiling, and said, "President Zhang, if there are any suitable roles for me in the future, I hope you can give me a chance!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Brother Lin, I'm just worried that President Li won't release you. After all, there are very few actors in the entertainment industry like you who have both good looks and acting skills."
This is just a casual compliment. After all, there are plenty of actors with good acting skills in the entertainment industry. What, you say looks? Please, the threshold for entering the entertainment industry is looks. You either have to be handsome or have distinctive features. What, you say the ugly children of capitalists? Well, you're from Luobogang!
Jing Tian and Wang Like were having a lively conversation, as were the third and fourth female leads. The third female lead was Guo Xuefu from Taiwan, who got in through Fan Bingbing's connections, while the fourth female lead was Yuan Shanshan, who got in through Yang Mi's connections.
Guo Xuefu tried to seduce Zhang Yang after joining the crew, but Zhang Yang didn't give her a good look. After all, in Zhang Yang's opinion, this person might be related to Mu Xiaoguang, and he didn't want to get involved with him. Who would he complain to if he got implicated?
Yuan Shanshan also eagerly offered herself to Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang was not interested. After all, this woman's reputation wasn't good, and Zhang Yang didn't want to get into trouble after just one meal. He preferred the type who was easygoing, didn't cause trouble, and was easy to part ways with, or simply an exchange of benefits.
After filming wrapped up, Guo Xuefu and Yuan Shanshan were both unwilling to give up. They both wanted to come up and say hello to Zhang Yang, but there were too many people around Zhang Yang, and he was also having a lively conversation with Liu Junjie and Lin Yushen, so there was really no chance to join in.
Jing Tian and Wang Like both changed back into their everyday clothes. Jing Tian's outfit was the most unique; she was still wearing her costume, a navy blue suit. In particular, she tied her hair into a neat ponytail, which gave her a more youthful look.
Jing Tian had told Zhang Yang beforehand that she wanted to keep this costume as a memento. It was the costume from her first leading role, and she really liked the look.
"The Heirs" is not "My Love from the Star". The clothing brands that sponsor "The Heirs" are all big names. Jing Tian's school uniform was custom-made by a big brand. Well, although it was custom-made, it didn't cost any money. It was all free.
Besides, even if they're all big names, Zhang Yang wouldn't say anything. Even if he stays, does he expect to follow the example of Silk Bar Media and TVB, where several people wear the same clothes in different TV dramas?
The friendship between women is very delicate. Perhaps because they are of similar age, Jing Tian and Wang Like have a very close relationship.
When Zhang Yang glanced over there occasionally, he saw Wang Like holding Jing Tian, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, and comforting her in a low voice. This made him speechless. Girls are so dramatic. It's just that filming has ended. Is it really that big of a deal?
Jing Tian's crying attracted Guo Xuefu and Yuan Shanshan. Both of them were shrewd and knew about Jing Tian's background after filming the scenes these past few days. Naturally, they wanted to comfort Jing Tian. Maybe if Jing Tian was happy, he would give them some resources, which would be a huge win for them.
Whether it was Yuan Shanshan or Guo Xuefu, both of them were quietly comforting Jing Tian, but their eyes would occasionally glance towards Zhang Yang's location. It was unclear whether they were paying attention to director Liu Junjie or stealing glances at Zhang Yang; only they themselves knew the answer.
Various reusable props are still being loaded onto trucks, but the actors and crew members don't need to lift a finger; the loading crew will handle it. Some professional and valuable items are also being arranged separately by the production assistants.
Zhang Yang politely offered cigarettes to the people chatting around him, and then lit one with Liu Junjie and Lin Yushen.
Lin Yushen smiled and said to Zhang Yang, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that the TV series 'Swords of Legends' starring you and Yang Mi is about to start filming. Can you give me any role?"
Zhang Yang knew that Lin Yushen was trying to curry favor with him, and he didn't mind. What difference did it make who he used?
Besides, Lin Yushen should become popular after "The Heirs" airs, which can also bring some popularity to "Swords of Legends".
"Brother Lin, since you've already spoken up, here's the plan: let's collaborate on 'Swords of Legends' again. This time, it'll be a dual male lead series, with you playing the other male lead. However, it's not enough for just me to say you're suitable; Brother Liu also needs to think you're good enough. So, at the wrap party later, you absolutely must make sure to keep Brother Liu entertained. That way, the other male lead role will be secure."
Zhang Yang's words not only flattered Liu Junjie, but also prevented him from just watching himself and Lin Yushen chat, thus avoiding his embarrassment.
Liu Junjie laughed and said, "President Zhang, that's really unfair of you! You actually tricked Yu Shen into getting me drunk!"
