Last year was a peak of Zhou Yanfa's career, since "Shanghai Tang" became popular, he starred in five TV series and four movies in one year. Although these movies are not high at the box office, the ratings of TV series are strong and have become a guarantee of TVB ratings.

The money in Zhou Yunfa's pocket was full all of a sudden, and he bought a house for his parents last year. However, Zhou Yunfa himself did not live with his parents, but rented a house with his girlfriend Chen Yulian outside, which was convenient for him to work and film, and secondly, it made Chen Yulian a lot less embarrassed.

Property prices have plummeted in the past few days, which made Zhou Yunfa very depressed, and the house he bought lost a lot.

However, what makes Zhou Yunfa even more depressed is the relationship between him and TVB. Although he has become a popular TV star, he doesn't want to act in TV series for the rest of his life, he wants to become a movie star.

Zhou Yunfa has also made a lot of movies in the past few years, but most of them are Shaw Brothers films, those low-end films really have no future, and Zhou Yunfa is not very suitable for playing a costume hero.

Zhou Yunfa can also continue to stay in TVB to shoot TV series, and then pick up movies in his spare time. But in this case, the people who asked him to make movies were definitely small companies and small productions, because large companies preferred their own contracted actors for filming, otherwise a movie would make Zhou Runfa popular, wouldn't it be cheaper for TVB and Shaw Brothers in vain?

This is the case of Kang Jianfei looking for Lin Zhengying to shoot "Mr. Zombie", Lin Zhengying became popular in Southeast Asia with "Mr. Zombie", but Lin Zhengying was willing to continue to follow Hong Jinbao and not jump to DreamWorks, Kang Jianfei purely made wedding dresses for others.

After suffering this dark loss, Kang Jianfei had already set a rule for himself, unless it was a cooperative film or entering a foreign market, he would never invite actors who were not from his own company to play important roles.

Zhou Yunfa wants to move to the big screen, and the decline of Shaw Brothers is a foregone conclusion. Then the contradiction comes.

In the parallel space, Zhou Yunfa was reluctant to renew his contract with TVB, and after filming a TV series in early June this year, he was hidden by TVB for nearly 4 months, and the two sides finally reached an agreement.

In this struggle, although Zhou Yunfa was frozen for 4 months and could not film, he actually won the most difficult victory. Because TVB made an exception to agree to Zhou Runfa, allowing him to sign a TV contract with TVB at the same time, he can also sign a movie contract with other film companies.

TVB has been established from the establishment of the station to the 21st century. Zhou Yunfa is the only actor who enjoys this treatment.

Like Liu Dehua and other wireless five tiger generals, in order to win the zìyóu treatment of external movies, they could only bow their heads and compromise with the TV station after being hidden.

At this time, it was still mid-July, and Zhou Yanfa was still in a state of being frozen by TVB, or shopping with his girlfriend. Or go home to have dinner with your parents, and be comfortable doing nothing all day.

When Chen Yulian came back from filming, she saw Zhou Yunfa cooking in the kitchen with an apron, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Fa, it's not a way for you to go on like this, or I'll ask Ms. Fang for mercy another day." ”

Zhou Yunfa waved his hand and said: "Don't care, anyway, I have more than 3 months left before the contract expires." I don't believe that no one asked me to make a movie. ”

Chen Yulian was silent, she didn't dare to tell Zhou Yanfa about her quiet begging for Fang Yihua today.

Zhou Yunfa was cutting vegetables when he found Chen Yulian standing behind him and didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was worried about herself. put down the kitchen knife and said with a smile: "Anla, I'm not in a hurry, the further back it is, the more anxious it should be the TV station." ”

Chen Yulian couldn't help but say: "There are so many actors on the TV station. What if you're red? Look at this more than a month, without you is still running as usual? Fa Ge. We can't survive the TV station, so don't get too stiff with the station. ”

Perhaps it was Chen Yulian's words that touched his heart, Zhou Yunfa took off the apron on his waist, returned to the living room silently, and nestled on the sofa without saying a word.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong......"

Chen Yulian saw that Zhou Yanfa was a little depressed, and wanted to comfort her, but the doorbell rang before she could open her mouth, so she hurriedly ran to open the door.

After the door opened, Wu Mengda's smiling face was revealed, and he asked, "Ah Lian, is Ah Fa at home?" ”

"It turned out to be Da Ge, please come in." After Chen Yulian finished speaking, she found that Wu Mengda was followed by two men.

After the three of them entered the house, Wu Mengda smiled at Zhou Yan from afar: "Ah Fa, it's really difficult for you to invite, ask you to go out to dinner and say that you are not free, afraid that I will ask you to borrow money?" ”

"I'm not interested in going out." Zhou Yunfa explained.

At this time, compared with last year, Wu Mengda is completely like being reborn, without a bit of decadence, and the whole person is full of energy.

Although after "Three Minutes Hero", Wu Mengda did not play any important roles, but in "Happy Ghost 2" and "Mr. Zombie 2", he played supporting roles. Coupled with the drama of some small companies, and the salary paid by DreamWorks, if it weren't for the debt repayment, his rì son would have lived a better life than many people.

Wu Mengda introduced: "This is Mr. Yu Yantai, the director of Oriental DreamWorks, and this is Mr. Zhang Guozhong, the agent of DreamWorks. ”

Only then did Zhou Yunfa realize that Wu Mengda was looking for him to talk about business, and hurriedly shook hands with them and said, "Hello Mr. Yu, hello Mr. Zhang." ”

Chen Yulian asked, "Brother Da, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I cook more. ”

"No, let's go out and eat," Wu Mengda pulled Zhou Yanfa and walked out, turned back to Chen Yulian and said, "Ah Lian, you can go too." ”

The group came to a nearby restaurant and sat down, and everyone did not take the initiative to talk about business, but chatted about some anecdotes in the film and television circle.

After the dishes were served, Wu Mengda poured wine for Zhou Yanfa, and then took the opportunity to ask: "Ah Fa, I heard that you were hidden by TVB?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to rest for a while." ”

Wu Mengda saw that he didn't admit it, and he didn't say anything, so he said in another way: "It's better to wait for the contract to expire, and you can come to DreamWorks with me to make a movie." ”

Zhang Guozhong also said: "Yes, there are several actresses in DreamWorks who are very famous now, but they lack a male star who can support them." If Mr. Zhou can come to DreamWorks, he will definitely be a pillar of DreamWorks. ”

Yu Rentai also said: "I have a drama in my hand, and Mr. Kang also helped to change it himself, which is just right for you to play the leading role." ”

The three of you explained the meaning of the three of you word by word, that is, you wanted to invite Zhou Yunfa to join DreamWorks, and then DreamWorks promised to train him as a pillar and star in a movie immediately.

Zhou Yanfa was happy in his heart, he wanted to switch to the big screen, Oriental DreamWorks now has strength, and he doesn't have much impression of Kang Jianfei, and there have been several encounters between the two. In this way, all aspects are very in line with Zhou Yanfa's intentions, and he almost agreed to come down with his mouth open.

Just as Zhou Yanfa was about to say yes, Chen Yulian suddenly kicked him under the table and winked at him quietly.

Zhou Yunfa immediately understood what Chen Yulian meant, which was to persuade him to be cautious.

When a popular TV star goes to make a movie, the film he makes is not necessarily a blockbuster, and Zhou Yunfa is in this case. After he became purple because of "Shanghai Tang", he made four movies in one go last year, and all of them hit the streets without exception.

If Zhou Yunfa joins Oriental DreamWorks, the movies he makes are still on the streets, and he can't go back to TVB to shoot TV, then he will be beaten up!

Zhou Yan was reminded by Chen Yulian, and immediately calmed down and asked, "Can I watch the movie drama first?" ”

Yu Rentai smiled: "Of course you can, I have already brought the drama." ”

Zhou Yunfa couldn't wait to look at the drama after taking it, and just after reading a page, Zhang Guozhong suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, I think you don't need to watch the drama." ”

Chen Yulian asked, "For what?" ”

Zhang Guozhong said with a smile: "Because before I came, Mr. Kang asked me to bring a message to Mr. Zhou Yanfa." He said that it doesn't matter if this "City Patrol Horse" can be a blockbuster, and he promised to make at least two movies specifically for Mr. Zhou in the next three years, which are not inferior in quality to "Mr. Zombie" and "Royal Sister". ”

Not to mention Zhou Yunfa and Chen Yulian, even Wu Mengda and Yu Rentai were surprised when they heard this.

Especially Wu Mengda, there is inevitably something wrong in his heart. He entered DreamWorks last year, and now he can only play supporting roles, but before Zhou Yanfa signed a contract, he had already received the promise of Kang Jianfei's two movie actors.

After Kang Jianfei broke the Hong Kong box office record in three consecutive films, in addition to capable people such as Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Xu Guanjie, who other Hong Kong actors don't want to play the leading role in Kang Jianfei's movies?

That means fame and fortune, and instant success!

Chen Yulian asked in disbelief: "What Mr. Zhang said is true?" ”

Zhang Guozhong said with a smile: "Mr. Kang told me, he said that Zhou Yunfa is the most potential and powerful actor in Hong Kong, and he is ready to make Mr. Zhou a super movie star in Asia." ”

If other directors say this, most of them will be considered to be talking big. But this kind of words came from Kang Jianfei's mouth, but it added a bit of convincing.

Zhou Yunfa is a very self-motivated person, before he became famous, he stayed at the elevator entrance of TVB every day, in order to impress the top management of the TV station, so as to get the opportunity to play an important role. And now he has become popular on TV, but he is still not satisfied, and wants to seek a breakthrough and development in the film industry.

Now that Kang Jianfei ran out of an olive branch, Zhou Yanfa finally let go of the hesitation in his heart, closed the drama of "City Patrol Horse" and said: "I am willing to join Oriental DreamWorks, but I will have to wait for three months, and I will not be able to leave until my contract with TVB expires." ”

Yu Yantai smiled: "Of course, no problem, I just need to spend time preparing for the movie." You can take this drama Mr. Zhou back, you can get familiar with it in the past few months. ”

Zhang Guozhong said: "By the way, if Mr. Zhou agrees to join DreamWorks, then I will be your agent in the future, and I will help you take care of all the work matters, which is arranged by Mr. Kang." There are still a few days before the premiere of "Sword and Horse", and Mr. Kang hopes that you will be able to attend then. ”
