16 July 2004.

The long-publicized "Ambush on All Sides" has finally been released.

Originally, this had nothing to do with Zhang Mu, although he didn't like Zhang Weiping, he still admired Lao Mouzi.

However, Zhang Mu didn't expect that he was already like this, and in the end, the news could even involve him.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, in the office, looking at the reports of major media in the newspaper, Yang Guang couldn't help frowning and said:

"Boss, do you want to arrange for the media to come forward to clarify?"

However, Zhang Mu shook his head helplessly when he heard this:

"People are shameless, and the world is invincible. Let him go! ”

……

Actually, it all started six days ago.

On July 10th, Zhang Weiping did not hesitate to hold a huge concert premiere in the Beijing Workers' Stadium in order to publicize.

In addition to the main creative team of "Ambush on All Sides", Zhang Xingzhe, Li Zongsheng, Tong Ange, Pu Su and others all attended the singing.

Originally, Daolang also received an invitation, but because he thought that the relationship between Zhang Mu and Zhang Weiping was not harmonious, he refused.

Afterwards, Zhang Weiping announced to the public that "Ambush on All Sides" is well known, and the reason why he still invested 20 million to hold this concert premiere is completely to build momentum for the Chinese film market and out of public intentions.

When these words came out, almost all the major film and television companies in the circle scoffed, and they didn't believe that this kind of concert would cost 20 million.

However, the media doesn't care how much the concert spent, they are only willing to bite the sky-high cost of 20 million.

thinks that when most domestic directors can't afford to make movies, "Ambush on All Sides" is simply a crime.

So overnight, almost the whole country scolded Zhang Yimou in the newspapers.

It is said that in the years at the turn of the century, Lao Mouzi was indeed criticized quite miserably. I can't hear a good word in the media, and if you change a fragile person, you may not be able to survive.

But this time Zhang Weiping was not convinced.

Perhaps it was to hype, or for some other reason, he spent several days in the newspapers arguing with the media.

This back and forth involved Zhang Mu.

After all, he was the first to hold a concert for a movie.

But things are disgusting in this place!

At present, Zhang Weiping ignored the previous filthiness of the two, and shamelessly stuck it up and bound it to him.

So if Zhang Mu agrees with the media's remarks, he is denying himself.

But if he is asked to stand up for Zhang Weiping, then Zhang Mu is estimated to be disgusted for more than half a year.

So after some thought, Zhang Mu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and said with a wry smile:

"Sure enough, it's karma, one retribution!"

In the first half of the year, he disgusted Zhang Weiping once, but he didn't expect to be returned in the second half of the year.

Just when Zhang Mu felt bad, Andy's phone call suddenly made him smile.

"Brother Hua, thank you this time...... Okay, I'll ask you next time...... Well, let's talk about it! ”

After Zhang Mule hung up the phone, Yang Guangfang asked in wonder:

"Boss, it's just a martial arts instructor, it's not like you, right? He's not Yuan Heping! ”

Zhang Mu just smiled and shook his head when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Yuan Heping is indeed the "No. 1 martial artist in the world", but sometimes it may not be the most suitable.

So after hanging up the phone, Zhang Mudang even bought a ticket to fly directly to Xiangjiang.

……

The next day, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the high-rise middle school of Hao Dejie Road, in the middle of the mountain in the middle of the mountain in Kowloon, west of the Yangtze River.

Seeing Zhang Mu looking at the scenery outside the balcony, Li Zhongzhi handed him a cup of coffee and said with emotion:

"In '98, I remember being an action director in "Rush Hour" and making a lot of money."

"You also know that we do martial arts, and our hands are relatively loose. I was afraid that I would not be able to keep the money, so I bought this house. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh proudly:

"At that time, Xiangjiang encountered a financial turmoil, and the property market plummeted, so I picked up a cheap one and won it for a few millions!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and he understood why he was so proud.

After all, the so-called "thousand-foot mansion" in Xiangjiang is worth at least about 30 million.

However, it has risen nearly tenfold in a few years, and from this point of view, Li Zhongzhi has indeed made a lot of money.

Immediately, after the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Li Zhongzhi hesitated for a while, but still asked puzzled:

"Director Zhang, I still don't understand, since you used Ah Jin, you can go to Yuan Jiaban, why did you come to me?"

Originally, for Li Zhongzhi, it was naturally a good thing to have a job to find a door.

It's just that he was originally a member of the family class, and now although he is mixed, most of them cooperate with his old partner Chen Musheng.

After the two collaborated on "New Police Story" before, Chen Musheng verbally made an appointment with him for the next play. It's just that because the project hasn't been approved yet, the specific time has not been decided.

This is also the reason why when Zhang Mu contacted him before, although he was very moved, he still refused.

After all, you always have to talk about credibility when you come out.

But Li Zhongzhi didn't expect that Zhang Mu would find Andy to be the middleman and talk directly to Chen Musheng.

As a result, Chen Musheng also felt that the opportunity of "Super Body" was rare, so he immediately contacted his old friend and asked him not to take care of himself.

This is the reason why Zhang Mu is here today.

Zhang Mu was not surprised by Li Zhongzhi's doubts, and even smiled and said:

"The director has a style, doesn't Wu Zhi have it? Although Yuan's guidance is good, it may not be suitable for "Super Body". ”

Of course, this is just Zhang Mu's excuse, the reason why he chose Li Zhongzhi is just because he has already proved it once.

However, seeing Zhang Mu say this, Li Zhongzhi nodded silently and did not say anything more.

Soon, Li Zhongzhi signed the contract.

Subsequently, after carefully understanding Zhang Mu's thoughts, Li Zhongzhi pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly:

"Director Zhang, if you want to embody Sanda, Baguazhang and Muay Thai, these three different martial arts styles are not a problem."

"It's just that Muay Thai is more troublesome, and if you don't have Muay Thai skills, it's hard to hit that kind of fierce force."

"When the time comes, the more brilliant the Baji and Sanda will be, the easier it will be to lose balance."

Seeing Li Zhongzhi say this, Zhang Mu naturally didn't dare to be careless.

"So what do you mean...... It's best to hire a professional? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhongzhi immediately nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu nodded decisively after pondering for a moment:

"Okay, I'll think about it!"

Then the two chatted for several hours about the action design of "Super Body" before Zhang Mufang left.
