When people are focusing on Zhang Xiaoye and science fiction, the completion of "The True Color of Heroes" and "Taxi Express" are actually the front foot and the back foot, and the progress of this movie is much slower than imagined, probably because it is too cautious.

The main creator is depressed, and this is the work that is most likely to turn them over, and it is natural that they will be cautious, although the progress is later than expected, but Zhang Xiaoye also feels that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's late.

"It can't be said that it doesn't matter, now that the progress of the two movies is about the same, wouldn't the release be about to hit the schedule?" Zhao Yuzhi said like a good wife and mother, standing behind Zhang Xiaoye and massaging him.

In the office, Zhang Xiaoye leisurely crossed Erlang's legs and enjoyed it, and said: "It's okay to stagger it, it's okay, the true colors of the hero will be released at Christmas, as for the taxi express, just drag it out and wait for the Spring Festival." ”

The bigger the movie, the more important the schedule, it doesn't matter when the small-budget literary film is released, but if the blockbuster does not have a good schedule, it will directly affect the box office.

Zhao Yuzhi smiled and said: "This arrangement is good, but if such an audience is in a hurry." ”

At this time, the audience is already looking forward to this movie, and even some overseas media are reporting the news of the completion of the new film of Shining Film Studio.

The movies produced by Shining Film Studio are generally of two types, with an investment of about 10 million US dollars in blockbusters aimed at the international market, "Taxi Express" belongs to this category, and the general investment is mainly for the usual market in Hong Kong, such as "Dao Ma Dan" and "The True Color of Heroes".

Just by looking at the investment cost, you can see Zhang Xiaoye's positioning of the movie, which is clear at a glance, and Zhang Xiaoye has slowly begun to deliberately start a certain degree of publicity in Europe and the United States, so "Taxi Express" has also attracted a lot of attention overseas.

He sat in front of his work, and now he was sorting out this information, and Zhao Yuzhi said: "If you want to promote overseas, I don't think this is enough, at least you should release more stills like in Xiangjiang, right?"

"Of course I want to, but this kind of thing can only come step by step, to be honest, our influence overseas is still limited after all, and the attention is not so high, so it doesn't make much sense, because many people are too lazy to watch. ”

"If I can raise my international influence to the level of Hong Kong, it will be easy to say, but there is still a long way to go. ”

After Zhang Xiaoye finished speaking, he hugged Zhao Yuzhi and sat on his lap, and said, "Okay, don't press it, it's me who is tired and distressing you." ”

Zhao Yuzhi glanced at her and said, "Don't let me give you a massage, in fact, you want me to do something else, right? How many people have squatted under this desk so far?"

"Although I do have some of this idea, unfortunately I can't because I have an appointment. Zhang Xiaoye hugged her waist and said, "Come with me to Xiang's house in a while, you may have to have a meal or something." ”

Zhao Yuzhi put his arms around his neck and said: "I still don't understand why the people of the Xiang family are so polite to you, there are not many people in the entire Xiangjiang who can do this, although your family is very powerful, but it is also in the mainland, strictly speaking, it is still a hostile relationship, how can it give you face like this?"

Xiang Qian, the founder of New Ngee An, was a major general of the Kuomintang Party, and after lurking in Xiangjiang, in order to cover up his espionage students, he founded the Ngee An Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other companies, and did such disgraceful things as collecting protection money, which was the predecessor of New Ngee An.

During the civil war, he was under the command of the military commander and engaged in anti-spy activities, and 49 years later, he was still in charge of infiltration and subversion, and he did this kind of thing in society, so he was deported to Taiwan by the British government in Hong Kong in 53 years.

So it's not wrong to say that it is a hostile side to Zhang Xiaoye's family, and the situation of 14K is similar, it turns out that these two can be said to be one family, but there is no eternal enemy in the world, only eternal interests, and now Xin Yi'an and 14K are competitors, and Xiangjia is slowly approaching the mainland.

Zhao Yuzhi didn't understand, and Zhang Xiaoye didn't explain, but said: "This actually has nothing to do with my father's side, it's my mother's side, and it doesn't matter, don't think so much curiously." ”

"It's a good thing anyway. Zhao Yuzhi nodded and didn't ask, but asked, "The person you made an appointment with is the Xiang family?"

"Not exactly. As soon as Zhang Xiaoye's words were finished, the phone on the desk had already remembered, and the front desk informer had come, and Zhang Xiaoye immediately let them in.

Zhao Yuzhi quickly stood up when she heard this, she didn't want to be seen by others as being so close to Zhang Xiaoye, not to mention that she didn't find out until someone knocked on the door and came in that these two were her old acquaintances.

The first is Liu Dehua, although the two have not yet cooperated with each other, they are both from the same company, and the other is Zhou Yanfa, who has just finished filming "The True Color of Heroes", which is too familiar to be more familiar.

The two of them saw Zhao Yuzhi in Zhang Xiaoye's office, they were a little surprised at first, and immediately relieved, and greeted them casually, Zhang Xiaoye beckoned them to sit down.

Zhao Yuzhi did not shy away from it, and poured a glass of water for the two of them as a secretary like a hostess, at this time Zhang Xiaoye handed over two scripts, and said directly: "Brother Fa, Andy, I have said the purpose of coming to you this time, this is the script, you take a look at it first." ”

"Of course there is no problem with your script. Liu Dehua smiled and acted very happily, speaking of which it was the first time he made a movie about Zhang Xiaoye, full of expectations.

"It's good if you think there's no problem, but I have to make it clear to you first, this play is not only my investment, but even I didn't lead it, and I don't care about the rest after the script is completed. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yunfa asked: "Yezai, is this the script you wrote to others?

"Neither, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of it this time. Zhao Yuzhi sat on the side with a smile, they were all acquaintances, of course, there was no need to be so restrained.

Zhang Xiaoye then said: "You should have heard of this company, it is called Yongsheng." ”

Liu Dehua and Zhou Yanfa were stunned at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they smiled bitterly: "We really didn't expect this." ”

It is no longer news that Xiang Huaqiang Xiang Huasheng established Yongsheng Film Company, and it has also set off a wave in Xiangjiang, if it is just an ordinary company, of course, it is not worth paying so much attention, Xiangjiang has to set up many film companies every year.

The background of these two brothers is also known to everyone, this situation is different, you can't want to attract people's attention, especially the people in the circle, who knows when you have to deal with it?

However, the emergence of Yongsheng is actually the fact that the society has gone from behind the scenes to the front of the stage in the film industry, and there is not much difference in essence, they used to be protected money, but now they are going to make movies, and the actors are worried about whether they will be exploited.

At the end of the filming, if people don't pay for it, it's okay, but you can't help but go, Liu Dehua and Zhou Yunfa smiled bitterly at the same time, and they didn't say anything else.

Zhang Xiaoye said: "Actually, you don't have to worry at all, we are also old friends, can we still push you into the fire pit? Yongsheng will still be very disciplined in terms of movies, and it will not be harmful to you." ”

"Since you say so, Yezai, then we will take this scene. Zhou Yanfa took the lead in agreeing, but in fact, it didn't seem to have a choice, it was not easy for Yongsheng to refuse, and it was even more difficult for Zhang Xiaoye to refuse here.

Zhang Xiaoye said: "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to meet Yongsheng's people now." ”

There have always been rumors about his relationship with Xiangjiang ○ forces in the outside world, but after all, it is a rumor, and it is too miraculous to make people imagine, no one knows what the relationship between him and the Xiang family is.

Zhou Yunfa and Liu Dehua didn't know much about this, and they both thought that the reason why he wrote a script for Yongsheng was also the reason why he couldn't refuse, but after seeing Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, they found that this was not the case at all.

The Xiang brothers' politeness to him far exceeded the expectations of the two, and even the two of them were very kind, there was only one reason for this, that is, they came with Zhang Xiaoye, Zhao Yuzhi needless to say, could the Xiang family not know that she was Zhang Xiaoye's woman? The treatment she received was even more extraordinary.

Yongsheng's company address is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, and after the group arrived, the Xiang brothers took them directly to the hotel, which they had arranged before.

In addition to the Xiang brothers, there is also Xiang Tai Chen Lan together, as soon as they meet, she pulls Zhao Yuzhi to chat non-stop, as if a man talks about men's affairs and women talk about women's affairs.

At the dinner table, Zhang Xiaoye didn't treat himself as an outsider, he was very casual, in stark contrast to Zhou Yunfa and Liu Dehua's reactions, and said: "Even if this script is a congratulatory gift from me, you have read the script just now, and the starring actor also brought it to you." ”

"Yezai, your script, of course, you are most sure of the choice of actors. Xiang Huaqiang smiled, and then said to Liu Dehua and Zhou Yanfa: "I actually like the play of the two of them, it's really good to have your help, I wish us a successful cooperation." ”

The two hurriedly raised their wine glasses politely, and Xiang Huasheng continued: "Yezai, the male protagonist is there, is the heroine a younger brother and sister?"

Of course, this younger brother and sister refers to Zhao Yuzhi who came together, Zhang Xiaoye shook her head and said: "Sister Zhi, she is on vacation now, and she won't take over the play until I give the TVB script next year, the heroine is not her, but I have figured out who it is, and I will personally invite it when the time comes, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Zhang Xiaoye still owes TVB two scripts, Zhao Yuzhi is the scheduled heroine, of course, it will take a lot of time, and Zhao Yuzhi can take on other plays, but she just wants to rest.

Chen Lan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said, "Which actress is so face-saving that she needs our Yezai to invite her personally." ”

Zhao Yuzhi rolled his eyes at him, so that everyone knew what the situation was, they all laughed, and said to Huaqiang: "Then there is Lao Yezai, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, don't patronize and chat." ”

After eating a few more bites of food and drinking a round of wine, this time without waiting for them to ask Zhang Xiaoye, he said directly: "In addition to actors, there are also directors, I think it is most suitable for Wang Jing to direct this play." Brother Qiang, do you have any intersection with Wang Jing? If not, I will contact him through Wang Tianlin. ”

He is very familiar with Wang Tianlin, but he has never met his son Wang Jing. is also because of Wang Tianlin's relationship, Wang Jing has been filming for the Shaw Brothers before, and now that the Shaw Brothers have been disbanded, Wang Jing will naturally leave.

Xiang Huasheng said as soon as he heard it: "It doesn't matter if there is an intersection or not, everyone is here to make money by making movies, once you are born and twice matured, you will always know each other." I won't bother you with this, let's contact Wang Jing himself directly. ”

Zhang Xiaoye's desire to find Wang Jing is actually very simple, but he doesn't know each other, so he needs to convey it through Wang Tianlin, and the Xiang brothers really don't want to worry about him anymore, after all, the movie between the two sides, Zhang Xiaoye has solved everything, and they don't want to go.

After the things were arranged, everyone didn't say much, and they happily ate and drank before they dispersed when the time was almost up, Yongsheng's side, Xiang Huasheng showed a worried look, and said: "Tenth brother, Zhou Yanfa is a box office poison, and Liu Dehua is still a newcomer in movies, is it safe or not?"

"Boss, you're too worried about this. Chen Lan spoke first: "Yezai has never missed a movie in movies, so don't worry about this at all, if this movie called God of Gamblers fails, it will be his own signboard." Besides, Zhou Runfa himself has used it before, and after the release of the hero's true colors, this salary will be paid to Zhou Runfa, and it is estimated that we will take a big advantage. ”

Chen Lan was very shrewd and thoughtful, Xiang Huaqiang also nodded and followed: "That's right, Yezai himself has the meaning of exchanging our favor this time, the gift he gave will definitely not be small, the movie will definitely not fail, it is difficult to say how successful it will be." ”

Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan were full of expectations for this, Xiang Huasheng was relieved when he heard it, and on the other hand, because Zhang Xiaoye had drunk, he asked Zhao Yuzhi to drive, and Zhao Yuzhi took out a box as soon as he got in the car, and said, "Xiaoye, Xiang Tai just gave me a meeting gift." ”

When I opened it, there was a necklace inside, which was worth a lot of money at a glance, and Zhang Xiaoye said: "It's normal for her to give you a gift in our relationship, so you can accept it with peace of mind." ”

"Is this really okay? Do I want to give something back?" Accepting gifts for no reason, Zhao Yuzhi was a little uneasy.

Zhang Xiaoye said: "What do you give back, although you are older than her, but now that you are her junior, you should give some meeting gifts, there will be more such things in the future, not only you, but also others, sooner or later they will get used to it." ”

The communication between women is actually part of the relationship between men, and now Zhang Xiaoye and the Xiang brothers are commensurate with each other, and Zhao Yuzhi is his woman, that is Chen Lan's younger brother and sister, and they are the younger generations.

Now is a gift, and there will be no less invitations to play mahjong and go shopping for beauty in the future, and the closer Zhang Xiaoye and the Xiang brothers go, the more this situation will be.
