Chapter 118: Bad News Comes

Since returning to China, Zhang Yang and his friends rented an office building in Beijing for the first time to prepare for a new play. Of course, there are also some quite powerful friends I met in New York and joined the team together. Among them were Paul, Kristen Ma, and several other classmates who were very willing to learn from him. Zhang Yang's purpose is to make his studio have a foothold in the international arena in the future, which is why he has introduced all kinds of new blood at home and abroad, and he plans to build an international film production team to create the best quality films.

Like-minded people working together filled the team with positive energy, and they were very happy, and the preparation of the film was orderly and went smoothly. Zhang Yang values Paul's talent very much, gives him a lot of space, and has him joining, like a tiger with wings. In addition, they have lived together in New York for a long time, they often attend classes together, and their student works are often completed together, so Zheng Han and the three of them have a very tacit understanding in their work.

The addition of Kristen Ma, along with four other Hollywood actors, makes the movie lineup very strong. Their acting skills have driven everyone in Zhang Yang's studio, and Guo Yong has made a qualitative leap. Everyone influenced each other and grew each other, and it took three months to completely take the script down.

And Zou Kai hasn't acted for a long time, and he was driven crazy by this group of actors from Hollywood, he played an undercover agent, but in the plot he exposed his identity and almost lost his life, rehearsing again and again, changing again and again, and finally polishing his acting skills.

Don't look at Han Mingshuo's current prosperity, he is very popular, but he has never changed his true heart, and he has not been polluted by money and business, under the training of Ren Huayu and others, he is now able to take charge on his own and is very talented. The prototype of the character he played is Zheng Han, who went from a sunny boy to a very tragic victim in the plot, but his character ended in death.

In the play, the prototype character played by Zhang Yang is Writer Yang, who plays in the play in the story, bitter and bitter, and reverses one after another. And the female one in the play is also a victim, played by Kristen Ma, imprisoned, can only obey orders, and has no personal freedom at all. The whole film depicts a large-scale brainwashing hoax that specializes in revealing human nature nakedly. Several directors who often watch during rehearsals alone are often frightened by people's hearts, and Paul is even more surprised by the creation of these characters, and they all admire the talent of Writer Yang.

Writer Yang's thinking is not what ordinary people have, he has a special grasp of the character's heart, he and Zhang Yang have worked hard to achieve every character, even if a villager who has passed the scene is full of people, and the requirements for each actor are very harsh, unifying everyone's performance style, there must be no deliberate place, which he has learned too much from Director Cai. With his successful experience and newly learned knowledge, Zhang Yang has done everything well.

This day was the last rehearsal, when Zhang Yang watched other people's performances, it was as if he saw his own experience at that time, and also saw the picture to be presented by the camera, his brain was the busiest, he often looked at the actors sitting in the rehearsal hall and thought, maybe human beings are a play in the eyes of others, and those eyes have never left the stage of the earth.

At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly saw Shen Xiaojing enter the rehearsal hall with a woman, and after entering the door, she nodded politely to everyone, and then quietly watched Zou Kai's performance.

Zhang Yang saw that her eyes changed when she looked at Zou Kai, and thought to himself that this was his fiancée, and he heard the people in the studio mention her. Since returning to China, Zhang Yang's mind is full of his own plans, and now that he has become a type, he dares to relax so much and think about other things.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li and Mr. Gong want you to confirm the costumes and props, this is the photo!"

Zhang Yang took the tablet and flipped through the pictures, and the clothes in front of him were all designed by Li Yinghui's team, which was very satisfying. After returning to China, since she learned that she was working in the field of fashion design, and her business was also sluggish, she did not hesitate to hire her team to join the crew's costume styling, and at the same time acquired her small company and arranged to work with her mother's designer team.

Teacher Gong has no choice, he is the queen art teacher of Director Yang and Director Cai, he has his own art team, and he is quite famous in the circle, it is difficult for the general crew to hire him, Zhang Yang trusts him very much. His thoughts once gave Gan Jun a lot of inspiration, Zhang Yang nodded after reading the photo, and handed it to Paul and Zheng Han to see.

"Is she Zou Kai's fiancée?" Zhang Yang asked Shen Xiaojing.

"Yes, she is the fiancée of Mr. Zou, and she is also a surgeon who came back from studying in the UK! Beautiful and talented! Mr. Zou can't wait to pick her up every day! Today is the first time to come to the company! Shen Xiaojing said enviously, she had seen him a few times before when she was busy with Mr. Zou.

Zhang Yang didn't know what it felt, although after coming back again, Zou Kai still hadn't changed, but he always felt that something was missing, and he couldn't say anything for a while. Zhang Yang guessed that if she was right, she should be the first love of Zou Kai in high school.

Zhang Yang saw Zou Kai and two other Hollywood actors fighting wits and courage, fortunately, the two are also Chinese, Mandarin is very standard, and the design of the fighting movements is from Zou Kai's hands, which is very exciting, after the rehearsal, Zhang Yang stood up and applauded everyone.

"Very good! No questions asked! Thank you all! Rest early and see you tomorrow! ”

After Zhang Yang finished saying goodbye to everyone, hundreds of actors left the rehearsal hall one after another. When everyone was almost gone, Zhang Yang saw that Paul and Zheng Han were discussing the props, obviously not satisfied with some things, Zhang Yang and they planned to go out to discuss it together.

"Publicity! Let's go to dinner! Zou Kai shouted Zhang Yang and put on his coat.

Zhang Yang looked back at him, thinking that after he came back, he really didn't talk seriously, but he still missed him very much.

"Jan! Go ahead, just leave it to Zheng Han, it's not a big problem! Paul said.

Zhang Yang saw Kristen Ma trotting to Zheng Han's side, holding Zheng Han's arm and smiling at him, and then nodded to them.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

After speaking, Zhang Yang followed Zou Kai out of the rehearsal hall, Zou Kai drove the car, and his fiancée sat in the co-pilot. Zhang Yang sat in the back row in a daze, thinking that thanks to Zou Kai Zhang Luo during this time, he recalled that the two cooperated with only a blank piece of paper, one person, and one handprint, and they have come to this day.

Zou Kai knew that Zhang Yang had been very tired in the past few years, and he was serious about doing a good job in this industry. It is hard for Zou Kai to imagine what Zhang Yang's brain is in at this moment, in his eyes, Zhang Yang has always been a person with a high IQ, and he can only accompany him quietly as usual.

The car stopped at a Japanese restaurant, Zhang Yang saw that the restaurant was very familiar, if I remember correctly, when the accident occurred, Zheng Han was sent to the hospital, and the two had a big meal here, Zhang Yang was hungry at that time, and the two often came here to eat after that.

"Publicity! What do you think! Come down! ”

Zou Kai spoke in the same tone as before, and his fiancée smiled. Zhang Yang got out of the car and entered the restaurant together.

Zhang Yang followed Zou Kai to sit in the old seat, "Hello! We haven't officially introduced it yet, my name is Zhang Yang! ”

"My name is Zhou Enya! You are a surgeon, and Zou Kaike often mentions you. Zhou Enya smiled politely.

"Publicity! I've been busy with work since you came back, and today I finally have a chance to get to know you, and Enya is usually very busy! There has never been a suitable opportunity! And these days, I'm so nervous, I sleep and dream every day, I'm rehearsing! When I went to the police station, I had to memorize my lines every day! Zou Kai said as he habitually hung up Zhou Enya's coat for her, and poured her a cup of tea first.

Zhang Yang saw the waiter coming, Zou Kai ordered, no matter what Zou Kai asked, Zhang Yang nodded, and at the same time kept observing Zhou Enya, thinking that such a good girl, the two of them are really talented and beautiful together, and they are very happy for this brother.

"Publicity! I ordered your favorite ramen for you! You forgot that you ate three bowls in this restaurant at that time! I've never seen anything you like, so come here to catch up and have a chat! The main thing is that I still have a night shift, and it's close to the police station! Zou Kai finished ordering and said, he tore the tableware for his fiancée.

"It's not that I was hungry because I had an accident at the time, when are you going to get married!?" Zhang Yang asked the two.

"This time, the crew finished and got married, and we set it for Christmas, and it was held in the church, all of which were Enya's idea! We are all about to be thirty people, and the old people in the family are in a hurry! Say every day, Kai! If you don't get married yet, won't you be able to hold your grandson when we die! Zou Kai learned the tone of the old man at home.

Zhou Enya laughed, and was polite.

"Zhou Enya! You won't be the first love of Zou Kai in high school at that time! He doesn't mention you less, and he misses the time you used to be together every day! Zhang Yang said directly.

"Well, I thought he didn't care about me at all, when I went to study in the UK, I didn't even say hello."

After listening to Zhang Yang, Zhou Enya looked at Zou Kai and blushed, it seems that he didn't mention this, Zou Kai is the kind of person who keeps everything in his heart and has been holding himself back.

"By the way, how did you get together again?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"It's not arranged by the two adults, our two families already know each other, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts! It seems that for so long, Zhang Yang has been tired, I don't think he has the mind to do business, I only understand when I see you! Zhou Enya, who looks very quiet, speaks straightforwardly.

Zhang Yang saw that Zou Kai's face was very red, and it was not difficult to see that the relationship between the two must still be very pure, "Fortunately, everything has passed!" But thanks to those things, I had the opportunity to meet Writer Yang and cooperate with him! Zou Kai, you have to come on, this film will definitely be very meaningful! Believe me, when the time comes, I will definitely grow the team bigger. Zhang Yang didn't want to continue to be embarrassed, so he diverted the topic and talked about his career.

Zhang Yang thought that it should be nothing to chat casually, but he didn't expect to be a little embarrassed, because Zhou Enya was present, and some words could not be expressed as before, so Zhang Yang talked about studying in the United States. Zou Kai also talked about what happened since he worked, saying that they were all small cases, and he did not have a colorful life like a detective. However, Zhou Enya's reappearance brought him a lot of color, Zhou Enya is very intelligent, and often uses a new perspective to let him see the world. Listening to Zou Kai, the two also have a little interest, that is, they have to read English dramas every day, Zhou Enya said that the purpose of this is to keep her brain thinking active.

It is understood that Zhou Enya went to school in the UK for seven years, and after returning to China, she worked as a doctor in the hospital, and her surgery was first-class. There are many men chasing her, but she always feels that she has not made a break with Zou Kai, she has not talked to anyone for many years, and she is only focused on her studies. Unexpectedly, after coming back, the two still remembered each other, the relationship between the two was determined last year, she and Zou Kai were the same age, Zhang Yang saw that they were in love with each other, and he was very happy for the two.

It's just that this day is still coming, just like the university worried, in the end, there will only be one person left, and he only needs to make the studio better and bring more good works, maybe this life will be like this.

In the past few years, this is the first time Zhang Yang has said heart-wrenching words to people like this, if it is really because of his age, he has experienced all the time he should have experienced, he will no longer be like an ignorant teenager to desire to know the world, and that kind of ignorant beauty will stay in the time when he was in college. Now that he understands the world, Zhang Yang also understands that he has to work hard to make some changes, but fortunately, with good parental education and good genetic inheritance, he still has the ability to do something.

After the crew officially started filming, they went out early and returned late every day, and everyone started a very busy filming life, the more detailed the preparation in the early stage, the more mistakes can be avoided during the filming process, and even if there is a small accident, it can be completely avoided. Zhang Yang adopts the Hollywood work style, all the staff are the same, there is no difference in hierarchical status and identity, everyone eats together, everyone gets off work together, the food and living arrangements are meticulous, and the teamwork ability is particularly strong, and it took half a year for the play to be officially completed.

Zhang Yang was the most tired when this movie was filmed, he had never felt this way before, but this time he thought too much, and he had to be a director and play the male lead. The main reason is that there are too many lines and the content of the performance, and the energy required for acting is the most consuming, and sometimes the sad scene makes people unable to come back to their senses for a long time, fortunately, there are Zheng Han and Paul, otherwise a director in this scene will definitely make people ten years old.

On the way back from work, Zhang Yang clearly remembered that the last shot he shot was Han Mingshuo's death, which was very sad. However, Zheng Han has a very open view of the past, and has been working diligently, and he can't see the slightest shadow. This film uses a lot of contrasting techniques, and each shot is enough to shock people's hearts, and the effect can only be evaluated by the audience after it is released.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yang washed up, and after coming out, Li Yinghui brought in the latest men's clothes designed by the clothing company, after all, this is the finale banquet, and more than 300 staff members who have participated in it have come to participate in this banquet.

Li Yinghui looked at Zhang Yang in front of her, she knew that he was not ordinary from college, as she guessed, this guy's strength is very strong, and he has been proving his strength since he started working in the crew. Li Yinghui watched the stylist comb his hair, and when she saw that his hair was still so thick, she muttered in her heart, everyone who uses his brain is bald, why don't you see him lose his hair, if he loses his hair, will it be very interesting. She didn't smile when she thought of this, and continued to watch Zhang Yang sit in front of the mirror with a radiant look.

Rushed to the event site, Zhang Yang got out of the car, his friends were with him, and he saw that the scene was very well arranged, comparable to the Hollywood finale banquet, free to eat, free to drink, such a Western-style banquet is far more saving than Chinese-style.

As the event began, the three directors made speeches, Zhang Yang was as always, with very few words, and strength speaking almost became his mantra. After the speech, Zhang Yang felt relaxed and happy because the filming work was successfully completed, and he sang a jazz song on stage, accompanied by several Hollywood actors, and the scene was instantly lively under their drive.

On the dance floor, everyone sang and danced, and on a whim, they sang and danced as a pas de deux with Christine Ma on stage, and the atmosphere of the scene was ignited.

At this moment, Shen Xiaojing anxiously called Zhang Yang to leave the banquet because of an urgent call. Zhang Yang gave the microphone to another Chinese actor, and he sang with Kristen Ma.

"What? What do you say? Zhang Yang looked at the lively crowd in the corner, and the mood that was very excited just now instantly sank to the bottom.

"Your parents were in a car accident and are now unconscious, and they are not out of danger yet!" Uncle Yang Hualai said nervously on the other end of the phone, crying silently, looking at a loss.
