Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Chapter 53 Wang Lei Makes the Zhang Family Kneel on Washboards

Wang Lei pretended to be angry and laughed, "You little brat, you believe I'll beat you to death!"

Li Xiaomeng couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, then reached out and shook hands with Zhang Ze!

"Hello, I'm Li Xiaomeng!"

Zhang Ze then said very seriously, "I was just joking, please don't mind me, sister-in-law!"

Wang Lei smiled and pushed him to the table, not minding at all.

He knew Zhang Ze was referring to a lively line from the movie "Number 1"!

"I heard you spent six months filming in Yunnan?"

After sitting down, Yao Qianyu asked curiously.

"What kind of drama is this? Filming for half a year!" Huang Haibo was also surprised.

Zhang Ze honestly said, "It's a drama about the Expeditionary Force, and the filming was quite meticulous, so the progress was a bit slow."

But it's a great show, comparable to "Number One"!

Wang Lei, with his hands resting on the backs of the chairs on either side, explained to Huang Haibo, "It's 'My Chief and My Regiment,' you've been so out of touch with society lately while filming, it's all over the internet!"

There's a lot of online discussion about this kid replacing Wang Baoqiang in the role.

"Sigh, I've been so busy with work lately, either filming or appearing on TV shows. I haven't been online in ages!" Huang Haibo sighed.

"Look, he's at Versailles again! We'd love to have him filming so many movies, but he's complaining about it!" Yao Qianyu teased, pointing at Huang Haibo.

Li Xiaomeng sat to the side, secretly laughing.

The group got along well, chatting about gossip and interesting things happening in the industry.

Soon, the staff at Mei Family Banquet began serving the dishes.

Li Ze suddenly noticed that the service staff here were all middle-aged women around forty years old, and the manager was also referred to as the "boss".

It has a strong Republican era feel.

"Aze, have you been here before?"

"Where would I get the money to come here? I was just an extra before!" Zhang Ze replied, picking at his food.

This dish tastes really good, but it's different from the Shandong cuisine he's used to; it's on the sweeter side.

Wang Lei began to explain to Zhang Ze, "This Mei Family Banquet is the private cuisine that the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang ate during his lifetime. Mr. Mei attached great importance to protecting his voice and physique, so the Mei cuisine emphasizes the effects of nourishing the skin, improving voice, promoting health, and preventing weight gain."

So many of our actors like to come here to satisfy their cravings, without worrying about affecting their physique.

Zhang Ze nodded after hearing this; actors do indeed value their physique!

Huang Haibo added, "This Mei Family Banquet was built by an actor in the industry named Du Jiayi. Many people in the industry come here to gather. The fact that it is relatively private is also one of the reasons why actors and stars are willing to come."

"Eat up! You two can't shut up even with so much food."

Come to Zhangze and try this Mandarin Duck Chicken Congee.

It is said that this chicken porridge is made by simmering the chicken breast at a constant temperature for two days until it becomes a paste, and then adding vegetable juice to make it.

Mr. Mei drank this porridge every day during his lifetime.

Yao Qianyu gave Zhang Ze a bowl of porridge, and Zhang Ze thanked her profusely.

Meanwhile, Huang Haibo and Wang Lei continued gossiping, "Come on, Old Du built a Mei Mansion banquet just to make a movie, he's really obsessed..."

Men can be quite gossipy too, and one of them is particularly stubborn and won't listen to advice.

"Come on, brothers, enough talk, let's raise a glass!" Zhang Ze picked up his glass and started to drink.

Huang Haibo and Wang Lei exchanged wry smiles; they couldn't outdrink them! They really couldn't!

The group drank and chatted happily, and even took a group photo which they posted in their chat group.

Some actors were brought up, complaining that they weren't loyal enough for not being notified of the gathering.

At the same time, everyone posted this photo on Weibo!

The netizens then began to leave comments.

"This is so touching! The indelible code has been reunited!"

"They have such a good relationship!"

Why is Li Jian missing? @LiJian

The Weibo post about the actors reuniting also topped the Weibo hot search list that night.

"Brother Lei, I still don't know the name of the movie you filmed today! I'll definitely go to the cinema to see it when it's released."

Wang Lei, while munching on a chicken leg, answered, "Jin Taro's happy life."

"What?! Isn't 'Kintaro's Happy Life' a TV drama? It just aired recently, and I even watched it!"

Huang Haibo quipped, "It's just a movie with the same name; that's popular now."

Wang Lei: "That's nothing! 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' is getting a feature film now!"

Everyone fell silent!

Zhang Ze: "Will the content be the same as the TV series version? Won't the audience have any objections?"

"No, it's more like a prequel to the TV series!" Wang Lei replied.

At this moment, Yao Qianyu jokingly said to Zhang Ze, "You have no idea how much fun your brother Lei had in the movie!"

He has romantic relationships with three women at the same time, and he's a gynecologist. He spends all his time looking at women's breasts or crawling under their thighs to look, and he even has nude scenes with the female lead...

Yao Qianyu pleaded, and Wang Lei clasped his hands together and bowed, begging for mercy.

His girlfriend is right there! This guy's going to have to explain himself when he gets back!

"Ah! Brother Lei, was this movie really that fun...?" Seeing Li Xiaomeng's eyes crinkling with a smile next to him, Zhang Ze decided to let Wang Lei off the hook and not give him double the pay!

"No, no, don't listen to Lao Yao's nonsense. It's all just acting, it's all fake."

Yao Qianyu wanted to say something more, but Wang Lei covered her mouth when they met.

She pleaded softly, "Please stop, little miss, or you'll really have to kneel on the washboard tonight!"

At this moment, Li Xiaomeng laughed and said, "That's right, it's just filming! I saw it all, he didn't do anything else, he just used both hands to hold on... boohoo."

Wang Lei was about to cry. If things continued like this, the chances of this guy sleeping in bed at night would become smaller and smaller!

Was it easy for him? He was sacrificing himself for art, and all he did was touch the sides a couple of times!

After that, everyone let Wang Lei off the hook and stopped making fun of him.

After that, Zhang Ze continued to work on film sets as usual, taking on various minor supporting roles.

With the fame of the code name and the experience of the group leader's works, his net worth has increased significantly!

A film or TV series can earn 100,000 yuan, or 5,000 yuan per episode.

Within three months, Zhang Ze also starred in "The Legend of the Plainclothes Squad Behind Enemy Lines".

He plays a character with a cheerful and stubborn personality, whose every move is hilarious.

But Liu Hulu, a sharpshooter with unwavering courage and skillful marksmanship, was fearless in the face of the enemy.

And the anti-Japanese war drama "Eastern Sichuan Guerrilla Team" and the movie "The Heroic Bombardier".

Although they are not the main characters

But with its large quantity and satisfying nature, it will appear in many films and television dramas in the future.

After three months of post-production editing, "My Chief and My Regiment" has begun its promotional campaign in preparation for its broadcast.

The popularity of "Soldiers Sortie" was due to the gimmick of the original cast and the popularity of anti-Japanese war dramas caused by the TV series' serial number.

When the TV series "My Chief and My Regiment" was first released, it attracted the attention of many TV stations.

After being auctioned, the first-run broadcast rights alone cost as much as 1.2 million yuan, and the series consists of 47 episodes.

This recouped over 56 million yuan, while the initial investment was only 42 million yuan.

This is just the first round; there will be a second round, a third round, and overseas rights.

The production company behind the group leader has really hit the jackpot this time!

After a massive publicity campaign, the show finally premiered simultaneously on four satellite TV channels.

There is a lot of discussion about "My Chief and My Regiment" online and on television.
