After learning that Zhang Yi was going to shoot "Hero", Fang Yan's heart was agitated, but he pretended not to know anything on the surface.

"Director Zhang, are you planning to find Liu Dehua as the starring role?"

"Not necessarily."

Zhang Yi touched his ears and said with a wry smile: "The movie is still in the preparation stage, and the cast has not been determined yet, we just want to invite Liu Dehua to audition first." ”

For the movie "Hero", Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have great ambitions, and the two are running for the Oscars.

In the original time and space, "Hero" invited many first-line stars, including Li Lianjie, Zhang Manyu, Liang Chaowei, Chen Daoming, Zhang Ziyi, Donnie Yen and others, from the perspective of the overall cast, it is really luxurious.

At the beginning of the preparations, Zhang Yi asked to play an "unknown" actor, who must not only have a solid foundation in kung fu, but also have a strong box office appeal.

Originally, Zhang Yi had considered Cheng Long to play Nameless, but Cheng Long's personality and image did not quite meet the requirements of the character, and finally he gave up this idea and invited Li Lianjie to play Nameless, he was more in line with the requirements of the character in all aspects.

"No problem, I'll call Liu Dehua right away and ask him when he has time."

Fang Yan readily agreed, Zhang Yi helped introduce Ge You, and this favor can be repaid now.

As for whether Liu Dehua can star in "Hero", Fang Yan is not optimistic about it, he has no suitable role in this movie.

However, from the standpoint of his friends, Fang Yan still hopes that Liu Dehua can succeed, after all, "Hero" is a commercial production, and as an actor, he definitely wants to star in it.

Zhang Weiping patted Zhang Yimou's shoulder and said in high spirits: "Yimou, you should have listened to me a long time ago, let's just make a commercial film, so that we can make money!" ”

Zhang Yimou shook his head lightly and retorted: "I don't make movies to make money, I just want to express my views on life." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Weiping smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, since you don't want to make money, then give me all the money." ”

His casual words were meaningful to Fang Yan's ears.

The contradiction between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping started with the movie "Hero", and in the end, the two directly became enemies.

It was Zhang Weiping's idea to shoot a commercial blockbuster, and he created a star-studded cast of "Hero", making a lot of money, but overdrawing Zhang Yimou's artistic level.

With the model of "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City Full of Golden Armor" followed, and the later "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is also one of them, with a high box office but a particularly low reputation.

Zhang Weiping made a lot of money, but Zhang Yi's good reputation was completely ruined, although the starting point of the two was the same, the purpose was very different, and the contradiction began to deepen gradually.

For example, during the filming of "The City Full of Golden Armor", Zhang Yi first invited Gong Li and Zhou Runfa, and when producer Zhang Weiping saw the cast, he felt that Gong Li and Zhou Runfa were no longer liked by young people, so he forced Jay Chou to join.

Because of the addition of Jay Chou, "The City Full of Golden Armor" had to temporarily revise the script and add the role of the second prince.

In addition, when Zhang Yi filmed "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", he originally wanted to present a serious atmosphere, but Zhang Weiping found Zhao Jiaban, which eventually led to a big change in the style of the film, and the film was nondescript, and the audience didn't buy it at all.

The last straw that crushed the relationship between the two was Zhang Weiping's long-term arrears of Zhang Yi's salary.

"Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles", and "The City is Full of Golden Armor", Zhang Yi did not get paid in time.

In 2000, Zhang Yi's annual income was only 2,760 yuan, which was the basic salary from Guangxi Film Factory.

It wasn't until after the 2008 Olympics that "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" began to be released, and Zhang Weiping made up the salary of the previous films together.

It's just that there is also a problem with this salary, the total of the 5 movies is 10 million, which is only the director's basic salary, and there is no box office share.

In the end, after filming "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Zhang Yi and Zhang Weiping broke up completely, and the two have never been in contact with each other since then.

What people never expected was that Zhang Weiping took revenge with a grudge, and he secretly found someone to expose Zhang Yi's superbirth.

The matter of superbirth was indeed something Zhang Yi did wrong, and he was severely punished for it, paying a huge fine of more than 7 million.

After that, Zhang Yi no longer swallowed his anger, and sued Zhang Weiping in court with a complaint, demanding that he repay the remuneration for the box office share.

After the court's ruling, Zhang Yi finally won, but Zhang Weiping acted as a scoundrel and failed to repay the loan, and finally he was restricted from spending by the court.

In Zhang Weiping's world, interests prevail, and in Zhang Yimou's life, it has become his destiny to express himself through art.

For Fang Yan, he really wanted to warn Zhang Yi and ask him to be careful with Zhang Weiping.

But if you think about it carefully, the two of them are now in the "honeymoon period of cooperation", how can the intimate relationship for more than ten years be affected by a word from an outsider.

If Fang Yan rashly opened his mouth to warn, it might cause Zhang Yi's disgust, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

The cooperation between businessmen and artists is not destined to be beautiful all the time, and if you want a fairy tale story, you have to accept the cruel ending of reality!

……………………

A few days later, the Imperial Capital Film Academy.

Gao Yuanyuan finished the advanced class, surrounded by a group of friends, and walked towards the school gate.

"Yuanyuan, do you want to have lunch together!"

"Okay, then I'll have a treat, what do you want to eat?"

"Someone treated? Then add me one! ”

"Lily, didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"

"It's okay, you have the strength to lose weight when you're full!"

Everyone was laughing and joking, and they seemed to get along very well.

Suddenly, Gao Yuanyuan's mobile phone rang, she took out her phone and looked at it, and the name displayed on it made her smile brightly.

"Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Yuanyuan hurriedly ran away.

"Who's calling? Yuan Yuan looks so happy. ”

"I don't know...... It can't be a boyfriend, right? ”

Several people began to whisper, Gao Yuanyuan was a goddess-like figure in the advanced class, and everyone was full of curiosity about her.

Especially not long ago, "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" became popular all over the country, and Gao Yuanyuan, as one of the leading actors, suddenly became a well-known star.

Even though he has become famous, Gao Yuanyuan still returned to study in the advanced class, which made many people confused.

A few minutes later, Gao Yuanyuan trotted back, she folded her hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, I suddenly have something, I can't invite guests at noon today!" ”

Everyone understood this: "It's okay, you can go about your business, don't worry about us." ”

"Thanks, then I'll go first!"

Gao Yuanyuan waved his hand and walked quickly towards the school gate with joy.
