Lu Yu, a well-known hostess, has a very wide circle of friends, and there are many sources, and she did get some news from her friends, knowing that Xu Teng and He Jiali may be living together, and it was only when she prepared the conversation materials that she found out that Xu Teng and Xia Li may also be lovers.

She thought that Xu Teng abandoned his childhood sweetheart Xia Li for He Jiali, or it was even more shameful to step on two boats...... The original good impression points have collapsed, but she is not aggressive, and she has no intention of digging up this big news for the ratings.

She has read several novels by Xu Teng, and she can only say that the emotional history of this kind of talented man is destined to be so magnificent that she can't stop at all.

The forty-five-minute talk show is coming to an end, and many mysteries about Xu Teng are explained very clearly, he is indeed the kind of person who can rely on his parents to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, but he has to rely on his face, talent and body to fight hard.

His parents had immigrated to Hong Kong a few years ago, and he had been growing up in the family of his grandparents in Jiangzhou County, and his relationship with his parents was not very close, but he also admitted that he did get a lot of help from his elders in the process of founding Jiangzhou Tiantian Network Technology Company.

The two chatted about love for a while, talked about their parents for a while, and finally talked about Xu Teng's work, a science fiction writer, the president of Tiantian Company, a muscular male model of Dunhill, and finally an actor and musician.

"I actually have a lot of actor friends around me, and I heard that you can go to Hollywood in your first play, and you play a very important role in such a big production, and everyone is very envious." Lu Yu decided to break the news once, "I heard that there was an action superstar who once fought for your role, and in the end, Director Li still chose to shoot by you." ”

"I probably know more about what you said than you do, for the simple reason that his price is too high, and I'm a cheap mess. I went from a screenwriter to a villain, and I also had to take care of action design, I was busy in the dark, and the total salary was only two million US dollars, which was only 1/8 of Schwarzenegger, and his price was not much lower than Schwarzenegger, and Director Li and the production company didn't have that much money at all. Xu Teng smiled bitterly, he and Lu Yu were talking about the real top international action superstar in China, and he really wanted to participate in Li An's "Terminator 3".

This one suffered the loss of the brokerage company, because Li An is CAA and the other party is UTA, so it is basically impossible to participate in the movie directed by Li An, unless you change the brokerage company.

Of course, Li An decided from the beginning that he wanted to use Xu Teng, which was cheap and definitely easy to use, but he guessed correctly, Xu Teng was the one with the lowest salary and the most things among the four leading actors of "Terminator 3".

This time filming in the United States, Xu Teng coordinated in the middle, and Shenzhou Media assigned his full agency contract in the United States to CAA, and Christian Bale and Natalie Portman are also actors on CAA's side.

"And will you continue to make movies?" Lu Yu seemed to be very curious, but in fact, he just asked casually.

"If there is a suitable film appointment, I must still shoot it, because I, the president of Tiantian Company, is still quite poor. I invested in the oriental version of the game "Magic Sword", not to mention the production cost of tens of millions, at present, the server investment in one district alone is close to 15 million, which is definitely three or four times that of other companies. Don't tell me to make a profit now, it's unknown whether I can keep my capital, I can buy a server in a district if I make a movie, that is, no matter how hard and tired I am, I have to continue shooting. Xu Teng took the opportunity to advertise his game project.

In fact, his money and Tiantian Company are by no means separately calculated, even if his living expenses are transferred to Tiantian Company for turnover, it can be regarded as borrowing.

The broadcast time of the whole show is 45 minutes, and the actual recording is 1 hour and 15 minutes, and many things in it will be cut out in the end, and what exactly it will look like is the work that Qin Xiaolu has to keep an eye on.

It happened to be the next day, Director Zhang Yimou made a phone call to Xu Teng, and wanted to invite Xu Teng to dinner, and after chatting a few words, Xu Teng invited Director Zhang Yimou to have dinner at Ruilin's house, along with Director Zhang's long-term investor, Chairman Zhang Weiping of New Picture Pictures, and Zhang Ziyi, the hot girl in the past two years.

It's also interesting to say that Zhang Ziyi and Xu Teng have both participated in Li An's movies.

Because of this factor, although the two met for the first time, they talked quite happily, Zhang Ziyi looked at Xu Teng with special concern, feeling that Xu Teng is not like a film and television industry, nor like a writer, but more like an investment bank executive in the City of London, a suit and leather shoes, a top custom suit such as Anderson, elegant and decent, whether it is the cut size of the suit, the fabric, the matching of shirts, ties, silk scarves, watches, or the length of the cuffs, cufflinks, tie clips, these details are extremely commercial, Even aristocratic, sophisticated like Anderson's professional model.

She guessed it right, this is Anderson's new autumn collection, the truly top-of-the-line suit, the benchmark for the City of London's bankers.

There is no Anderson's tailor shop in Beijing for the time being, so Ruilin took a tailor from London on a special plane, measured his size, and hand-sewn it in London and sent it to Beijing.

The post-reshoot process of the movie "Hero" is very difficult, the final editing was just completed in August, and it was just reviewed a few days ago, and it is no longer possible to get the National Day schedule, so I can only line up at the end of December, squeeze it, and look at the New Year's Day holiday.

Now at this time period, Zhang Yimou has begun to prepare for the filming of "Ambush on All Sides", and the actors are now roughly determined, and Zhang Ziyi is one of the leading actors.

Although Zhang Yimou often lives in Beijing, he is a little deaf to the outside of the window, and has very little understanding of the situation of Ruilin Mansion.

Xu Teng invited a few people to eat in the dining room of the main courtyard, but he didn't have anything to say, and after drinking a few glasses of dry white, he finally understood what Zhang Yimou meant, and actually wanted to invite him to star in "Ambush on All Sides", the problem is that the salary is low, it depends on whether Xu Teng is willing to take the initiative.

Dizzy.

It's an action scene again, this one is even more exaggerated, and it's a martial arts movie directly.

Xu Teng is embarrassed to say that he has panic disorder about action scenes now, as for the script, he had already seen Zhang Yimou's revised version before going to the United States to film, and he felt okay, at least there were not so many plot loopholes in the past.

Now the question is how to shoot and who to play.

Zhang Weiping is the chairman and producer, and he is responsible for inviting which movie stars to play, and between the conversations, he has hinted to Xu Teng that many Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars are taking the initiative to reduce their salaries to compete for roles.

This movie predator carries the banner of Lao Mouzi, not inviting superstars everywhere, but the superstar's agent desperately comes to the door to recommend himself, and the price is easy to negotiate.

"If you don't accept it, the market appeal of our Lao Mouzi is very amazing, to put it mildly, it is the first in China and the first in Asia." Zhang Weiping drank the Château Lafite, with great momentum, "I don't have any false words." The four kings of Hong Kong, Japan's Takeshi Kaneshiro, and South Korea also have a few first-line superstars, who are actively talking to me, and want to star in Lao Mouzi's movie, no one cares about the salary, they are willing to do it for free. Of course, we can't really let others act in vain, the market rules can't be chaotic, how much money should be given, how much money we give. ”

"Hmm." Xu Teng nodded, drinking his Sauvignon Blanc dry white, not wanting to take the initiative to ask for it at all. Although he said in the program of "Luyu Night" that he was willing to continue making movies, it was just talking, at least this year, he was unwilling to suffer this crime again.

He is actually not short of money, he really wants to continue making movies, but it is more interesting to cooperate with Li An, Li An also understands him very well, and is willing to give him the opportunity to show himself according to the model he likes.

During the two months of filming in Monterrey, he, Carrie Ho and Ann Lee were thinking about starting a new film production company dedicated to his novels and other films that Ang Lee wanted to make, working with Warner, who invested in the production and Warner was responsible for the distribution.

The relationship between the two is very good, if Zhang Yimou is embarrassed to say it, Zhang Weiping will help him say it very clearly, this is really Xu Teng to take the initiative to ask Ying, try it.

"I actually talked to Director Li yesterday, and he strongly recommended you to continue your acting career, and he is very optimistic about you, and I think this opportunity is also good for you." Director Zhang Da finally spoke and personally lobbied Xu Teng to star.

Xu Teng smiled very shyly, not shy, not shy, Zhang Yimou wanted him to play the role of Takeshi Kaneshiro, that is, the one in "Ambush on All Sides" and Zhang Ziyi for three days, he could seduce her, and finally in the sea of flowers and happy Jin Catch.

"Director Zhang, it's not a question of whether I'm willing to take the film, it's a question of whether I can or not. Although flirting with girls is my unique skill, but on the big screen, I really haven't flirted, if you let me beat Andy Lau, from the beginning to the end, then there is no problem. Xu Teng made a joke, but he was actually a little embarrassed in his heart, he was paralyzed, what kind of costume emotional drama was playing!

"Xiao Teng, we are acquaintances, so what we say is the truth." Zhang Yimou was not in the mood to joke, he was such a strict person, "The movie "Hero", I made up at least 50% of it according to your proposal, and the final editing effect, I personally feel that it is much better than originally expected." I've talked to Li An a few times, and each time I can talk about you, you have done a lot of very important work in the movie "Terminator 3" from screenwriting to starring, to action design, in Li An's words, if this movie can score 80 points, at least 30 points are your contributions. ”

"He was looking for an actress when he was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but after I heard the news, I took the initiative to ask a friend to recommend Xiaozhang to the past, and the cooperation effect was not bad. I filmed "Ambush on All Sides" this time, and he also actively recommended you, so I thought, let's work together once to see the effect. ”

Zhang Yimou used to be very domineering on Xu Teng's side, Xu Teng basically didn't dare to talk to him, and he didn't want to argue head-on, the other party wanted to build yì, he wrote a note and faxed it over, and he didn't like to use it.

To put it simply, Xu Teng was very scared of Zhang Yimou, unwilling to play with Lao Zhang, and didn't want to suffer this simplement.

This time, Zhang Yimou's attitude was obviously restrained, and it is estimated that he also listened to Li An's advice, and if he wanted Xu Teng to help, he had to adapt to Xu Teng and let him play freely.

Because Xu Teng doesn't care who you are at all, no matter how big-name international directors are, if you can't play, he will ignore you, and the well water will not interfere with the river water.

"You let me think about it for a few more days, and I'll discuss it with my family, because once your movie is made, it is estimated that it will be a few more months." Xu Teng had a little headache, he was embarrassed to say, with your millions of salaries, let me go from screenwriter to starring, to action design, and then be responsible for helping you flirt with girls on the big screen, am I worth it?

"Okay, if you think about it for a few more days, you can also call Director Li and ask, he highly recommends you to star, and he has a very high evaluation of you, of course, he has always had a high evaluation of you, and this time is no exception." Zhang Yimou could see that Xu Teng really didn't want to cooperate with him, so he could only push Li An out and let Xu Teng think about it more.

Xu Teng's role, Zhang Yimou Zheng'er Bajing wanted to choose between Takeshi Kaneshiro and Liming, and others were trying their best to fight for it, he listened to Li An's Jianyì, and temporarily wanted Xu Teng to try, but Xu Teng actually ran away.

It's pretty cheap.

Zhang Yimou was embarrassed to say anything, but when he looked at this Ruilin house, he could only say that Xiao Xu was good and talented, but he mainly relied on his face to eat, and Xiao Bai's face was at the peak of his level.

"In this way, it is also the first time for you to come to Ruilin Mansion, I will accompany you for a turn, and then go to the bar for a few drinks, just below the courtyard." Xu Teng avoided this topic, got up and beckoned a foreman to come over, and asked them to arrange it, so that when he went to the bar, there would be other guests over there.

"Xiao Xu, we are still very sincere, the director, the producer, the female lead, this is all here, you don't have a schedule problem now, there are no other film appointments at all, this is still delayed...... It's a bit unrighteous! Zhang Weiping was not happy, he called Takeshi Kaneshiro now, and others immediately flew over for an interview.

Such a good opportunity, he came to the door with Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, Xu Teng was not happy, and felt that the salary was too low, and they dropped the price!

Paid?

In order to participate in Zhang Yimou's new movie, several leading actors, which one of them did not lower his value, everyone will not disclose it.

What kind of thing are you, Xu Teng, who is crazy about making a Hollywood film on Li An's side?

Zhang Weiping was very unhappy in his heart, and he specially called the actress Zhang Ziyi over today, hoping that two glasses of wine and a few words would get things done, he wanted the box office, and by the way, he would save an extra expense, Xu Teng wanted to be famous, and everyone cooperated happily.

It just so happens that he wants to wait for the boom after the release of "Terminator 3" in China, and then put Xu Teng and Zhang Ziyi, the two Hollywood-level leading actors, on the big screen to play emotional dramas, what a good selling point!

The only thing he didn't expect was that Xu Teng lived in a place like Ruilin Mansion, if it weren't for this, he would have pointed at Xu Teng and scolded him.

Zhang Weiping really doesn't know one thing, that is, Xu Teng doesn't want to cooperate with Zhang Yimou, he feels that it will be very hard, if he changes to Li An to direct "Ambush on All Sides", Xu Teng will not refuse.

With Li An on the set, it doesn't matter if Xu Teng doesn't understand, the big director will teach him slowly, it's almost like playing and filming at the same time, very happy.

Therefore, Xu Teng planned to invite Zhang Yimou and a few people to play in Ruilin's house for a day, and he spent hundreds of thousands of hospitality fees to coax them to be happy and fool this matter over.

No one expected that Zhang Weiping would directly accuse Xu Teng of not being righteous, although his tone was not hard and his voice was not loud, this time it was cold, and the scene at the table was actually very stiff.

There are only four people in this dining room, Zhang Ziyi is better than one less, she doesn't dare to speak, and Zhang Yimou is not very happy and doesn't speak.

Now Zhang Weiping is left to sit with a displeased face, his face turned sideways, sulking, this is to make Xu Teng apologize, because he and Zhang Yi have made a difference.

Make amends?

There are no doors.

"Let's go to the bar and play mahjong." Xu Teng didn't want to say it a second time, he wasn't happy himself. He has a good time at home, writes some manuscripts in the morning, practices boxing in the afternoon, works in a different place, deals with the company's affairs, and spends a few hours in the Ruilin Pavilion at night, and goes back to the backyard to sleep peacefully.

"Young Master." The chief foreman of the Ruilin Pavilion hurriedly walked over at this time, turned around and saw it, and whispered to Xu Teng, "Miss Seven just called back, arrived at the airport at about half past seven in the evening, and went home on time at eight o'clock. ”

"Okay, I got it." Xu Teng nodded slightly, seeing that the other party's expression was not good, suggesting that he went outside to talk, so he apologized and said goodbye to Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, and hurriedly led the chief foreman to the corridor outside the dining room and asked her, "What else is the matter?" ”

There are three foremen in the Ruilin Pavilion, all of whom are twenty-six or seventeen-year-old beauties.

This general foreman's surname is Hua, a very interesting surname, Beijing girl, a top student of Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, she speaks English and French very well, she is the youngest and most beautiful of the three foremen, Xu Teng often teases her with the nickname of the flower girl.

"Fourth Wife...... also took the same special plane to see you, Miss Seven, please cooperate, give her some affection, and make Mrs. Fourth happy. "The flower foreman is He Jiali's confidant, and if Xu Teng has any special needs, she has to arrange them.

"That's right." Xu Teng looked at the time, it was only more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still five hours, the other party had just gotten on the plane, and he still had time to ask the flower foreman, "What does the fourth lady like, you should know very well, right?" ”

"Emerald or sapphire jewelry, preferably in its entirety, if it was a painting by Delacroix, the French Romantic, it would have been very satisfying for her." The foreman said very calmly, as if he didn't know at all, these things didn't have millions of RMB, or tens of millions of dollars, and they couldn't be done at all.

"You arrange, let people choose a few sets of jewelry, about 10 million, don't think about any romantic oil paintings, that's too exaggerated." Xu Teng was a little uneasy, spending tens of millions of dollars to make an aunt happy, he was distressed and reluctant.

What's more, he doesn't have that much cash in his hand.

"In about two hours, I can arrange for someone from Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels to deliver the best jewelry from the Beijing branch, and you can choose it, and you still have this little right." The foreman reminded Xu Teng that he had the right not to use it, and it would be invalid after expiration.

"Let them stay safe and don't get into an accident on the way." Xu Teng thought about it for a while, and pointed to the dining room, "I'll go back to the backyard to rest first, you greet them for me, and wait for half an hour or so." ”

"Okay, young master, you have a few other friends in the Ruilin Pavilion, except for Lu Yu, the other two are actresses in the film and television industry, they want to see you, I said that you are feasting, please wait. The guests on both sides seem to be from the film and television industry, should they be arranged together? The flower foreman mentioned another thing.

"Okay, let them talk on their own, the account is on my side." Xu Teng just wants to spend money to avoid disasters, he really doesn't want to know the actress, and he doesn't want to make a movie for Zhang Yimou, it will definitely be a bad experience.

The flower foreman nodded, so she went to the dining room to invite a few guests to the bar, she is a professional, even if the other party is not good to greet her, as long as it is in Ruilin Mansion, if you don't give her face, you won't give face to the master's family.

Xu Teng hurriedly flashed and went back to the room to rest and avoid Zhang Weiping's anger. (To be continued.) )
