Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

"You sound very calm."

"What else?"

At this point, Fan Bingbing's playful tone changed: "Actually, I was really upset, but I calmed down for a long time before calling you."

Yang Che chuckled, amused. "That method didn't work?"

"It's definitely useful, otherwise why would Hunan TV speak up for us?"

"Aren't they putting on a show?"

"It shouldn't be. Hunan TV said this afternoon that they would give me the lead role in one of their self-produced dramas, called something like 'Quick-Talking Cui Lian'."

"That's so good?"

"Of course, we're on very good terms now. I've figured it out too. I can afford to offend QY, but I can't afford to offend Hunan TV. I've adopted a very humble attitude; I even turned down the lead role."

Yang Che sighed deeply; this was a girl who would only turn 18 in a month.

Why is that?

"I didn't have the time. At that time, I was filming CCTV's 'Qin Shi Huang,' and I didn't lack TV drama offers. I had already turned down more than a dozen. Of course, I didn't tell Hunan TV."

.........

Speaking of the TV series "Qin Shi Huang", the most popular character is the young Ying Zheng. He was just there for a summer job, but he became the epitome of the young Ying Zheng, and audiences have remembered him for more than ten years.

Reporter: "What kind of personality do you think you have?"

Weng remained silent: "I think I'm lively."

........

Yang Che was speechless. No wonder QY didn't ask for money when terminating contracts with others, but insisted on asking you for 100 million. So you've been secretly taking on scripts all along.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Che said, "When the contract termination lawsuit goes to court, there will definitely be reporters interviewing you. Just say that QY made Xiao Yanzi steal your role, and I'll prove it for you."

Now that things have come to this point, why not capitalize on this buzz?

After a few seconds of hesitation, Fan Bingbing said, "I don't like you anymore."

Then I hung up the phone...

And so, time passed day by day.

The next day, Cheng Hong called him, chatted for a few words, and then brought up the matter. She sent him a phone number for Director Tian, ​​who worked for China Film Equipment Company, saying that she had already made arrangements. She did not contact him again for the next three days.

For the first two days, Zhang Qin sent him text messages every day and called him every night. Yang Che replied and answered. But his replies were slow, his answers were late, and he would hang up on him in the middle of the call for some reason... Under such circumstances, Zhang Qin naturally knew his true intentions and stopped trying to embarrass herself.

Qin Lan would call every other night to talk about the fun things that happened on set, to check on her brother Che, and to say that she could save up her clothes to wash when she got home.

Yang Che was speechless at the time: "I can throw things in the washing machine myself."

Qin Lan was furious: "Then you can throw it away yourself from now on."

It's nice to chat and laugh.

Like Zhang Qin, Qin Lan had to stay in Jinling for half a month. She also said that after filming wrapped up, she wanted to go to Hengdian for a trip before returning to Beijing, and Yang Che was very supportive of this.

...........

8 month 2 day.

Huang Haibo woke up before his alarm went off today. He turned on the light and glanced at the time. It was not yet six o'clock. He yawned, wanting to go back to sleep, but he was wide awake and had no choice but to get up.

After that, Huang Haibo didn't look at the script. Instead, he performed what he thought Niu Geng was like in front of the mirror. Since the day he got the script, he didn't go out. He read the script and performed at the same time.

While eating breakfast, Mr. Huang looked at his somewhat carefree son with great satisfaction.

This kid definitely has that kind of drive.

At first, he was very reluctant for his son to become an actor, even though he had already acted in a play when he was 14. After all, he came from a military family. However, since the boy was able to get into the film academy and was very serious about it, he accepted it and also learned some industry knowledge about acting.

For example, the son's current somewhat sly and carefree state is called a deep understanding of the role and immersion in life.

At 8:15, Huang Haibo took the script and went out alone, taking a taxi to No. 8 Xitucheng Road. He needed to be in good condition and couldn't take the bus.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the residential area, he saw two pretty girls get out of a Citroën Fukang car in front of him.

I glanced at one of them and recognized him; he was Mao Mao from the TV series "Love in the Internet Age".

No need to think about it, they'll definitely come to audition for Star.

In the past, Huang Haibo would have definitely struck up a conversation with such a pretty girl, but he wasn't in the mood for that right now.

And so, the three of them entered Unit 3 of Building 3, one after the other.

Upon reaching the third floor, I saw that both the door on the right and the door in the middle were open. The door on the right had a sign that read "Preparation Office for 'My Sassy Girl'".

However, none of the three of them went in immediately. Instead, they deliberately glanced into the middle room, where Fan Bingbing was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking to a man and looking quite happy.

Upon seeing Fan Bingbing, Hu Jing, one of the two girls, wanted to leave. Of course, leaving was out of the question, but she also felt there was little hope left.

However, she still needs to perform well; leaving an impression on the director and producer is just as important as auditioning.

Just like Huang Haibo, who came in after them, when he auditioned for the role of Linghu Chong in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in 2000, he naturally didn't get the part, but he was remembered by the assistant director Kang Honglei, and thus starred in "The Passionate Years".

Actually, it wasn't just Hu Jing who thought this way; Huang Haibo felt the same way. He was confident, but when it came to acting alongside Fan Bingbing, it was hardly his turn as a "newcomer."

As the three entered one after another, Liu Chang, who was delivering the script to Hu Jing, stood up to greet them.

"They're here. Zhang Tong is here too?"

Zhang Tong smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you."

"It's alright, have a seat. The directors will be here soon. Huang Haibo, come, have a seat."

"Why."

The three of them introduced themselves; well, they were all from the neighboring school, students.

Fan Bingbing, who lives next door, arrived twenty minutes earlier than them. Before arriving, she called Yang Che to ask if he wanted her to bring him breakfast. Naturally, she didn't bring breakfast, but she did bring two watermelons, as well as some dried fruit and beef jerky.

Yang Che went to the entrance of the residential area to pick up the family.

Upon meeting, he joked and said, "Let me bribe you, the producer, first."

Looking at the chubby boy who seemed completely unaffected by the contract termination, Yang Che revealed a genuine smile. If they weren't in public, he would have definitely taken advantage of the situation.

They were supposed to chat in the workroom after going upstairs, but Liu Chang and Xing Jianwei were cleaning, so they went to the next room instead. Yang Che left the door open to avoid suspicion.

The two discussed the termination of the contract, but it hasn't reached the stage of filing a lawsuit yet; their lawyers are currently negotiating.

Before he could say anything else, Yang Che spotted Hu Jing and Zhang Tong, and then he saw Huang Haibo.

Therefore, he couldn't stay alone with Fan Bingbing any longer; he still needed to make a living in this industry.
