This actor just wants to verify

Chapter 973: Will this melon be ripe? (asking for monthly votes)

If a female star does not show up for too long, people will easily suspect that she has secretly given birth to a child.

Some do give birth to children, but they do not give birth to them themselves.

They also need to avoid suspicion.

So as not to be suspected of surrogacy.

So, she has to show up no matter what.

Before her belly gets bigger, An Xiaoxi will still appear in people's vision frequently.

It is not too late to make an official announcement after the child is born.

This opportunity is the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly".

An Xiaoxi did not act in this movie, but she can be counted as one of the producers.

An Xiaoxi accompanies Hao Yun in many of his activities, and everyone is used to it.

It is just that the appearance of the two of them is a bit overwhelming, which is not very friendly to "Let the Bullets Fly".

In fact, today is not a very friendly day.

December 9th, the lunar calendar says that it is not a good day to clash with the horse and the south, and not to take other things.

On the contrary, the next day, December 10, was a rare auspicious day.

Unfortunately, it was snatched away by Zhang Yimou.

However, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen were relatively harmonious.

Zhang Yimou came with a group of people to the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly".

"Oh, the troublemakers are here, and they are so aggressive." Jiang Wen was very rude when talking to Zhang Yimou.

Some people may think that Zhang Yimou is Jiang Wen's "benefactor", just like the deceased Xie Jin.

But Jiang Wen actually doesn't think so.

When filming "Red Sorghum" in 1988, "drama tyrant" Jiang Wen quarreled with director Zhang Yimou from beginning to end over script changes and improvisation. Later, he was indignant that Zhang Yimou didn't mention him after winning the Berlin Golden Bear Award, after all, he also interfered with the creation.

Jiang Wen also changed Xie Jin's play.

Regardless of whether he was arrogant or not, the point is that many of the plays he changed were successful.

The director definitely didn't listen to him because he was afraid of being beaten.

I, Jiang Wen, will not give in to anyone!

"A guest is a guest. Do you want to eat today?" Zhang Yimou smiled and didn't care about Jiang Wen's attitude.

They have known each other for so many years.

They worked together on "Red Sorghum" and "Let's Talk". No matter whether it was pleasant or not, they did create two classics.

"I didn't plan to do that, but since you said so, I have to get two bottles anyway."

Jiang Wen and Zhang Weiping also shook hands.

Back then, Zhang Yimou invited Jiang Wen and Qu Ying to shoot the movie "Let's Talk", which was an urban comedy. This was his bold attempt, but many investors did not agree with it. Funding was a big problem.

Zhang Yimou ran around and spent a lot of effort to negotiate with an investor, but he didn't expect that the investor would withdraw his investment when the filming started.

"Draining the firewood from the bottom of the pot" is what every director fears.

Just because Zhang Weiping tipped off that the wealthy businessman Huang Hexiang and Gong Huang had an ambiguous relationship, which led to their breakup, and now the filming of the movie was stranded, Zhang Yimou was very depressed.

A few days later, Zhang Yimou was invited to a party. His worries had not been resolved, so he was naturally not in a good mood for such an atmosphere.

Zhang Weiping saw Zhang Yimou so sad, so he took the initiative to ask. After listening to Zhang Yimou's story, he decided to invest 26 million without saying a word.

"Let's Talk" was able to continue filming.

After the movie was released, the line "An Hong, I miss you" in the movie quickly became popular.

Jiang Wen knew both of them.

"Today is your home court. If you are busy, don't worry about us."

Zhang Weiping looked at the guests on the scene and compared whether the guests invited to "Three Shots Surprise" were of sufficient weight.

He is a businessman, and movies are meant to make money.

This time, "Three Shots Surprise" and "Let the Bullets Fly" collided, and they were bound to affect each other's box office.

What Zhang Weiping hopes to do is to turn this influence into a positive one.

At least it is positive for "Three Shots Surprise".

But he was not too worried. He knew Jiang Wen's character better than anyone else. Zhang Yimou would never lose against Jiang Wen.

At least Zhang Yimou would not lose now.

When Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou first worked together, "Let's Talk" finally achieved a box office of 46 million, but he only got 8 million, and lost 18 million.

The following "Not One Less" won Zhang Yimou awards at home and abroad, and his reputation was very good.

But when filming, "Not One Less" had seriously exceeded the budget, and the cost increased by nearly 10 million invisibly. The investment and income were almost in balance. Zhang Weiping could only make a profit without losing money.

"Not One Less" was the beginning, and later "My Father and Mother" and "Happy Times" were also in a state of "balanced income and expenditure".

After investing for 4 years, he did not make a penny.

He decided to teach Zhang Yimou.

Fortunately, Zhang Yimou accepted his teaching and began to bow to the "market".

The box office of "Hero" in China was 250 million yuan, and the total overseas box office was 1.1 billion yuan, which officially opened a wave of blockbuster movies.

With the example of "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" followed one after another.

The box office was very good.

Zhang Yimou is no longer the same as before.

He is very obedient!

When filming "Curse of the Golden Flower", Zhang Yimou first invited Gong Huang and Zhou Ruifa.

Zhang Weiping saw the cast list and felt that Gong Huang and Zhou Ruifa were no longer popular among young people, so he asked Zhou Jielun to join.

Zhang Yimou agreed.

During the filming of "Three Guns Surprise", Zhang Yimou wanted to present a serious atmosphere, but Zhang Weiping suggested using Xiao Shenyang.

Xiao Shenyang is so popular, even more popular than Wang Shunliu.

Why can Wang Shunliu play Shagen and Mr. Shu, but Xiao Shenyang can't play multiple styles.

There is also Sun Honglei.

Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?

I don't know whether the melon is guaranteed to be ripe or not, but at least it is guaranteed to win.

As for Jiang Wen, he didn't have many movies to begin with. After being banned for five years, he finally made one ("The Sun Also Rises") and it was a complete failure.

What can he use to fight against Zhang Yimou now?

Although Hao Yun is the screenwriter of "Let the Bullets Fly", people who know Jiang Wen know that it doesn't matter who is the screenwriter, and Jiang Wen is the real boss.

This is also the reason why Zhang Weiping insisted on not changing the schedule.

It doesn't matter, just confront Jiang Wen head-on.

If there is any change, it should be Jiang Wen.

Since Jiang Wen doesn't change the schedule, don't blame us for being ruthless.

"No, no, Hao Yun is here to greet people for me. Come, let's sit down." Jiang Wen was very relaxed today.

He was too lazy to go out for social events.

Zhang Yimou turned his head and saw Sun Honglei, the leading actor of his new film, and Xiao Shenyang, all chatting and laughing around Hao Yun.

It must be said that Jiang Wen's apprentice is really very capable.

What Zhang Yimou envied most was that Jiang Wen's apprentice could invest in him to make a movie.

Unlike himself, Zhang Weiping, who invested in him, was simply his father.

Zhang Yimou now hated Zhang Weiping for interfering with his creation. The little kindness in his early years had long since disappeared.

Zhang Weiping was making money entirely with his prestige and fame.

Of course, he hated himself even more.

After tasting the sweetness of making money, it was difficult for him to return to his original intention.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

Why did Jiang Wen live in a big villa? Why did Jiang Wen buy luxury cars whenever he wanted? He bought one a month. You're crazy.

Jiang Wen was lucky. His apprentice helped him make money.

If he didn't have such an apprentice, he could only cooperate with capital.

This capital could be Zhang Weiping, or someone else like Wang Weiping, Zhuge Weiping, etc.

At this time, Hao Yun, who was entertaining guests on behalf of Jiang Wen, actually didn't have much time to chat with Sun Honglei and Xiao Shenyang.

But these two people didn't leave.

They shamelessly accompanied Hao Yun to stand at the door to welcome the guests.

An Xiaoxi had already gone in to watch the movie.

This movie was led by Heidou Media, so all the artists who were free from Heidou Media came to support it.

An Xiaoxi was with them, and safety was not a problem.

No one dared to pry Hao Yun's corner.

The iron wall was so strong that it couldn't be pried.

Sun Honglei and Xiao Shenyang were on the left and the right, which easily gave people an illusion.

That is, are these two people going to join Heidou Media?

Xiao Shenyang is fine, he is Uncle Benshan's man.

The main reason is that Sun Honglei has developed quite well in recent years. After the broadcast of "Conquer", he gained recognition for his villain role Liu Huaqiang, and won the Feitian Magnolia double actor award for his role as "Yu Zecheng" in the spy drama "The Hidden".

At most, the road to film transformation is very bumpy.

He played the role of Fenghuo Liancheng in the movie "Seven Swords". He was perverted enough, but it was a pity that the movie itself had mixed reputations. He, a villain, could not stand out in a movie full of stars.

This shows the role of good projects in the transformation of actors.

This year, the silly Wang Shunliu won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award, and now he shares the Golden Horse Film Festival Best Actor Award with Zhang Jiahui, which makes a group of powerful actors envious.

Sun Honglei is one of them.

It's not that he has not cooperated with big directors. He recently starred in the movie "Mei Lanfang", changing his previous tough guy image and wearing glasses to play the paranoid and crazy intellectual Qiu Rubai.

In order to shoot the film, Sun Honglei turned down three movies and a TV series in the year of shooting.

As a result, the film lost both reputation and box office, and only Chen Kaige got rich.

You really dare to make money from an art film with a cost of 100 million yuan. The actors who watched it were jealous.

This time, he cooperated with Zhang Yimou in "Three Shots Surprise". Zhang Weiping, Xiao Shenyang and others thought it would be a big hit, but Sun Honglei didn't think so.

If he hadn't seen Zhang Yimou directing it with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether this movie was Zhang Yimou's.

Xiao Shenyang was the one who made him think that this movie was unreliable.

Once they went out for a drink together, and fans came around to ask for autographs. Sun Honglei was drunk and had no eyesight, so he joked, "I'll sign for you." As a result, Xiao Shenyang got angry and used a big move, breaking Sun Honglei's hand.

It still hurts now.

What can Sun Honglei do? Can he dare to fight back?

That's Uncle Benshan's chief disciple.

When the reporter asked him, he said that when he was filming, he accidentally hit his hand on a vase and hurt himself.

That's what he did.

Today, they attended the event together, and they were talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened.

But the frustration in his heart made him want to find a backer for himself.

Zhang Yimou certainly couldn't do it.

He couldn't even be the boss of Zhang Weiping.

And Zhang Weiping played with the big guys like Zhao Benshan, and they wouldn't annoy Uncle Benshan for themselves.

So, Sun Honglei thought about whether he could join Heidou Media since his ten-year contract with Zhao Baogang's Xinbaoyuan Company would expire next year.

As for Xiao Shenyang, he had no intention of joining Heidou Media.

That would simply be a provocation to his master. Even Black Bean Media couldn't protect him.

He just wanted to see what Sun Honglei was going to do.

"Okay, everyone go in. There will be a cocktail party after the premiere tonight. We must have a few drinks then."

Hao Yun was not in a hurry to ask what they wanted to do.

As long as they have a purpose, they will say it sooner or later.

Behind these two people is Zhao Benshan and Zhao Baogang, and he doesn't want to offend either of them.
