Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Wang Fei has never read gossip news; after all, Hong Kong gossip news is really not worth reading...

The reason I'm watching it now is because I heard the name "My Sassy Girl" when I was changing TV channels, and then I saw the name Yang Che on the credits. I immediately realized that he was the lyricist and composer of "Fleeting Years".

Although they had spoken on the phone twice, Wang Fei had never really imagined his age and appearance. But now that she saw him, she instinctively felt that he didn't match her description.

This is because she subconsciously felt that someone who could write lyrics and music like "Fleeting Years" must be a very pretentious and "weak" person. After all, his tone and voice on the phone were very calm and gentle. Who would have thought that he was such a hormone-fueled person?

People's brains always pay close attention to outcomes that are completely opposite to their expectations; this is called the shock of contrast caused by sensory misalignment.

In short: Wang Fei was extremely surprised and immediately remembered Yang Che's appearance.

"He's quite handsome."

And that was it. She went back to Beijing this time to handle her divorce proceedings and, incidentally, to film a gay pornographic video to earn some money.

..............

The cast and crew of "My Sassy Girl".

After unloading several cases of wine, a case of tea, and a case of cigarettes from his car, Fan Zeping headed to Wangfeng Village, where he remained loyal to him.

Old Fan didn't give Fan Bingbing anything, he just said that she could go back to Longcheng with Yang Che next time, and he would treat her to...

He gained a great deal from this trip, confirming his plan and securing Yang Che's promise to be permanently credited in the film. This was incredibly touching, and he was still moved when he thought about it.

Yang Che, on the other hand, continued to devote most of his energy to the film crew.

He and Fan Bingbing didn't make their relationship public, but the rest of the crew gradually found out, given some unconsciously affectionate glances and gestures...

The entire crew behind the scenes was incredibly gratified and moved.

For example, Cheng Er and Wu Shixian. Huang Haibo was also very moved. He thought that Fan Bingbing's sudden good eye acting meant she was in character. He never expected it.

Time passed day by day, the crew worked together better and better, the progress was faster and faster, and Yang Che was needed less and less, but he still stayed as much as possible, after all, he could learn something everywhere.

Of course, Yang Che didn't spend all his time on the film set. On September 13, he went to the Beijing Film Academy to see Hou Keming, and through Hou's introduction, he met Wang Hongwei and Jiang Wei, the teachers of the vocational directing class.

Yang Che knew the backgrounds of these two people. The former was Ning Hao's mentor, guide, and producer of all of Ning Hao's films. They started working together on "Green Grassland" in 05 and continued with all the young directors in Ning Hao's "Bad Monkey Project," including Guo Fan, Wang Zizhao, Liu Chang, Shen Ao, Rao Xiaozhi, Xin Yukun, Li Yang, Lu Yang, and so on. Basically, they were all part of Ning Hao's group. Wang Hongwei was either a producer or a planner.

Everyone knows that Andy Lau invested in "Crazy Stone," but what they don't know is that that investment wasn't enough. Filming ran out of money, and it was Wang Hongwei who went to China Film Group twice and Warner Bros. three times, finally managing to secure 70 yuan to finish the film...

Of course, later on, both Wang Hongwei and Ning Hao "crashed and burned," criticized for being out of touch with reality. All I can say is... well...

As for Jiang Wei, he doesn't have many works, including two: "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Lurking".

Yang Che had a so-so impression of Wang Hongwei, whose head was completely bald, but he was still very enthusiastic. As for Jiang Wei, he was all over him, calling him "Teacher Jiang" in a way that made the other person feel a little awkward.

However, the two teachers quickly got used to it, after all, most of the students in the directing program were young adults, middle-aged adults, and oh, this year there was even a 50-year-old...

The two teachers watched the Grand Cherokee speed away, then looked at the license plate YC001, and exchanged glances: Well, no wonder Dean Hou values ​​it so much, it must be rich and powerful.

Yang Che did not return to the hotel on the 13th, since it was Monday and Yuan Yuan had already started school.

However, Yang Che didn't go to the Labor Movement College because Yuan Yuan wasn't at school. She was filming a movie outside, using a Siemens phone introduced by Yu Wenhao. It was her highest-paid single movie project since her debut, costing a whopping 3 yuan, half of Yang Che's movie salary!

After leaving the Beijing Film Academy in the afternoon, Yang Che headed straight for the nameless society near Jingguang Bridge, driving recklessly and attracting 100% attention.

Think about it, there are so many Xiali, Fukang, Santana, Jetta, Daihatsu... on the road.

As far as Yang Che could see, apart from a few buses and coaches, all he could see were car roofs.

He started by showing off with the car window open, but then he obediently closed the window and put on sunglasses.

Because the gazes he sensed contained not only curiosity and envy, but also jealousy and resentment.

After walking east along the North Third Ring Road for 20 minutes, you will see Tuanjiehu Park, and then you will see the sign of Wumingshe.

GG Studio, the largest and most popular photography studio in Beijing, has enough space to shoot a movie. Of course, GG Studio has a higher configuration and is more expensive than a traditional studio. For example, a traditional studio costs 1500 yuan per day, while GG Studio costs 1500 yuan per hour.

Business is booming here. Well, who doesn't take photos of GG these days?

At the edge of the parking lot, Yu Wenhao, who hadn't participated in the dinner the day before yesterday, saw Yang Che getting out of the Grand Cherokee. His eyes flashed with shock and a hint of displeasure.

People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality; this has always been the case.

"I asked you to come and meet the big boss the day before yesterday, but you didn't come. Who knows, he might even give you one."

Yang Che didn't notice Yu Wenhao's expression, but he knew how to say it to make his partner feel at ease, and he couldn't let the other person think that he had spent the money on the product placement first, since the agreement was that the money would be split after the movie was released and the final payment was received.

If the license plate weren't so unusual, Yang Che would have said that it was only temporarily open.

Yu Wenhao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed; Brother Che was such a generous person.

After glancing at the car, the two walked toward one of the sheds.

Yang Che spotted a Land Rover parked near the entrance of a shed: "Aren't parking prohibited in front of the shed? Which big star is this?"

Yu Wenhao slapped his forehead: "I forgot to mention, the one who sang for our movie."

Yang Che raised an eyebrow: "Sun Nan?"

"Brother Che, even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford this car."

Yang Che then realized, "Holy crap, Wang Fei?"

Yu Wenhao nodded repeatedly, looking wistful: "Yes, Pepsi's GG, the first female spokesperson in Asia, with an endorsement fee of 800 million."

"oh."

Yu Wenhao was very upset by Yang Che's reaction. He thought, "He's too calm. I was just about to show off."
