Chapter 306: Half a Year's Work

In addition to "Let the Bullets Fly" with a supporting role, "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" with the second male lead, and "Zhao's Orphan", which Zhang Yuxuan is not willing to participate in, there is also a heavyweight movie.

Zhang Yimou's new movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", this time another invitation was issued to Zhang Yuxuan.

It is said that this invitation was led by Zhang Weiping.

The last time Zhang Yimou's movie "Three Guns Shoot Amazement", after Zhang Yuxuan refused, Zhang Weiping still blew his beard and glared, and even almost directly pointed out Zhang Yuxuan in the media to mock Zhang Yuxuan.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Yimou was going to shoot "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Zhang Weiping took the lead in inviting Zhang Yuxuan again.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is actually just a literary film, with Zhang Yimou's ability, shoot a literary film, the hero and heroine invite two newcomers to participate, and the movie made can easily win more than 100 million movie box office.

After all, it is not easy for literary films to win a box office of more than 100 million, and it is not easy.

It's just that Zhang Weiping is unwilling, why can he let Zhang Yimou's movie only win 100 million at the box office? And can't you take it higher? Even if it's just a literary film, don't forget, the director of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is Zhang Yimou.

Especially last year's "Three Guns to Shoot Eucalyptus", when he thought of this movie, Zhang Weiping hated it a little.

Although the box office of that movie was more than 200 million, Zhang Weiping also made a lot of money. But if Zhang Yuxuan had agreed to participate in "Three Guns Shooting Amazement", would he have been able to get a higher box office and win 500 million, and even if Zhang Yuxuan and Zhang Yimou cooperated, would it be possible to break 600 million at the box office of the movie?

If there is a box office of 600 million, how much more money should he Zhang Weiping make?

Therefore, although Zhang Weiping scolded Zhang Yuxuan at the beginning, saying that Zhang Yuxuan didn't know what to do, had no vision, and would not cooperate with Zhang Yuxuan at all in the future, but all this was not a matter at all in front of money.

In order to make more money, Zhang Weiping strongly asked Zhang Yimou to let Zhang Yimou choose Zhang Yuxuan to be the leading actor, if Zhang Yuxuan was not allowed to be the leading actor, he would not let Zhang Yimou start filming.

Zhang Yimou really has a headache about this.

According to Zhang Yimou's idea, he just chooses the newcomer he thinks is suitable to participate in the hero and heroine of his movie.

Because Zhang Yimou feels that newcomers are like a piece of paper, on which he can draw casually and let them change the color they want. Such an actor will be more malleable.

But on the contrary, Zhang Weiping interfered vigorously.

Not only the male protagonist intervenes, but even the female protagonist intervenes.

Zhang Yimou even suspected that if it weren't for the filming that Zhang Weiping didn't understand, maybe he would interfere in this kind of thing no matter how he filmed during filming.

Zhang Yimou is now more and more irritable with Zhang Weiping.

At the beginning, Zhang Weiping strongly supported Zhang Yimou, even if Zhang Yimou's movie lost money, Zhang Weiping was very atmospheric and almost didn't care about it at all.

Later, Zhang Weiping wanted to establish a new picture company, and also said to Zhang Yimou that in the future, Zhang Yimou will make movies, as long as he Zhang Weiping is there, Zhang Yimou will never be worried about money, and there will be no shortage of investment.

And at the beginning, Zhang Weiping also promised that in addition to being responsible for finding a way to make money for Zhang Yimou's filming, he would not interfere in any issues related to film shooting, including actor casting or something, and he said that he would never interfere.

But now, Zhang Weiping has long regarded what he said as a fart.

Zhang Weiping: Now he meddles in almost everything he can, and he has to forcibly intervene if he can't.

It's like this "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", a movie with a story of the fifties and sixties, Zhang Yi's script has not been fully written, and Zhang Weiping has already contacted a small group of advertisers to talk about the problem of advertising placement.

Zhang Weiping: He didn't think about it at all, whether the movie is suitable for advertising placement, and whether it can be advertised.

Of course, Zhang Weiping is talking about the issue of advertising placement now, and it has not yet been decided, because the next thing is to see if Zhang Yuxuan will accept the invitation and whether he will participate in this movie.

If Zhang Yuxuan does not participate in this movie, then the advertising placement fee will be according to the price of Zhang Yimou's movie. But if Zhang Yuxuan joins this movie, then Zhang Weiping will raise the cost of advertising placement to another level.

"Yu Xuan, this time, how are you going to choose? Do you want to participate in Zhang Yimou's movie? Li Hao asked.

This time, Li Hao simply asked, did not provide any advice, and did not have any tendencies.

It is probably because Li Cod has been by Zhang Yuxuan's side for a long time and has seen him more, just like when Zhang Yuxuan rejected "Wuji", rejected "Night Banquet", and rejected "Three Guns to Shoot Eucalyptus". Zhang Yuxuan directly rejected all the films of the three major domestic directors once. There is also Hollywood's movie "The King of Kung Fu", Zhang Yuxuan also refused.

And these movies that were rejected by Zhang Yuxuan are all bad movies, even if their director is a big director, even if the movie is a big production.

Therefore, now, if Zhang Yuxuan wants to reject a movie, Li Hao will not have any opinion.

Of course, another point is that now Zhang Yuxuan, he no longer needs the blessing of a director, almost all of the movies starred by Zhang Yuxuan are successful movies, as long as the name Zhang Yuxuan is mentioned, the audience is willing to enter the cinema, regardless of who the director is.

"This movie is actually not bad." Zhang Yuxuan looked at the script: "Although the story is still a little thin, it is already a good movie." Zhang Yuxuan nodded and said.

"In that case, let's participate. After all, I have rejected Director Zhang once before, and it is not good to reject Director Zhang again now. What's more, Yuxuan, you thought about digging Director Zhang over before. Li Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, then this movie, I participated in it." Zhang Yuxuan nodded, feeling that what Li Hao said was also right.

Even if it was Zhang Weiping's idea to invite Zhang Yuxuan to make a movie, this is Zhang Yimou's movie after all. Zhang Yuxuan's refusal is just enough, refusal twice, even if it is not Zhang Yimou's idea, but on his movie, Zhang Yuxuan's refusal twice in a row will probably make Zhang Yimou have bad thoughts, and he will subconsciously have some opinions about Zhang Yuxuan.

"chose Director Zhang's movie, then, Chen Kaige's side, did he refuse?" Li Hao asked.

"Chen Kaige's side will refuse!" Zhang Yuxuan nodded.

It's just that just after Zhang Yuxuan decided to take over the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", he received a call from Feng Gangpao.

……

"Yuxuan, you don't mean to refuse, do you? Let me tell you, I have to be you in this movie! Feng Gangcang said with a big grin.

"Director Feng, I really think the movie "The Great Earthquake" is really good, and I really want to play it, but you're here to play. If only you had a day in the morning, now, I just agreed to Director Zhang's side, and I just signed the contract, you see? Zhang Yuxuan looked embarrassed.

The movie that Feng Gangcang invited Zhang Yuxuan to star in this time is "The Great Earthquake".

To be honest, "The Great Earthquake" is a very good movie, and even to some extent, the influence of this movie is greater than that of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

In the same way, this kind of movie will be very difficult to shoot, very difficult, and very difficult!

It's just that Zhang Yuxuan just signed a contract with Zhang Yimou, and now Feng Gangcang came to the door with the movie "The Great Earthquake". Zhang Yuxuan can't pick it up!

Moreover, Zhang Yuxuan now has a lot of film appointments in hand, if he takes "The Great Earthquake", Zhang Yuxuan's time will be very tight, and he may even need to play a scene.

As a rich, famous, and a lazy actor, Zhang Yuxuan himself is very resistant to drama.

"Sss Feng Gangcang had a toothache and couldn't help but gasp: "Zhang Yimou's movie, you have to consider taking it again, what if Zhang Yimou makes another "Three Guns Shoot Surprise" this time?" Feng Gangpao couldn't help but say.

"There are also people who read the script, a literary film, and the script is not bad. In addition, there was a schedule at that time, so I took it. It's just that who would have thought that the next day, Director Feng, you would come with a better script. If I had seen your script first, even if I had seen both scripts, I would have chosen your script! Zhang Yuxuan looked helpless.

Feng Gangpao also felt helpless when he listened to Zhang Yuxuan's words, but Zhang Yuxuan's words also made Feng Gangpao feel comfortable listening to them.

Because what Zhang Yuxuan said just now, he almost said that his Feng Gangcang's movie is better than Zhang Yimou's movie!

The three major directors in China, well, plus a young Ning Hao, can be regarded as the four major directors.

He Feng Gangcang can actually only rank third. Zhang Yimou is ranked first, which is almost universally recognized. This is also why in the past few years, Feng Gangpao has always wanted to make a movie that can win international awards, because only in this way can he surpass Chen Kaige and even Zhang Yimou. That's why Feng Gangpao made the bad movie "Night Banquet" at the beginning.

Now that Zhang Yuxuan is saying this, Feng Gangcang is not willing to listen to it, especially Zhang Yuxuan is the one who said this kind of thing.

"Otherwise, you can make a cameo." Feng Gangpao knew that Zhang Yuxuan took over Zhang Yimou's movie, and he didn't have time to come to his crew to be the protagonist, but it should be okay to make a cameo.

"Cameo, this is okay." Zhang Yuxuan nodded, the cameo did not delay much, and most importantly, the exchange of resources.

"Okay, then let's settle it, you come and make a cameo. played Fang Daqiang, who died in the earthquake. Feng Gangpao directly clapped the board and said: "Actually, at the beginning, I wanted you to play two roles in my movie, Fang Daqiang is one, and then the other role is Fang Daqiang's son Fang Da." After all, these two people are father and son, and it is appropriate to use one actor to play two roles, but unfortunately, you don't have that much time. ”

"It's a shame indeed. However, according to Director Feng, the role of Fonda has not yet been decided, right? Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Well, I originally planned to let you act, but since you don't have time here, you can only change people, do you have a recommendation here?" Feng Gangcang said with a smile.

"What do you think, how is Zhang Yi?" Zhang Yuxuan asked with a smile.

"Zhang Yi?" Feng Gangpao frowned: "Zhang Yi, he's too ugly." The father is so handsome, and the son is so ugly, what if the audience thinks his father is someone else? ”

Hearing Feng Gangpao say this, Zhang Yuxuan was also quite helpless, but there was nothing wrong with his statement. Unless Zhang Yuxuan doesn't play the role of his father. Otherwise, let Zhang Yi play Zhang Yuxuan's son, anyone who watches it will feel that it is not biological.

"By the way, Yu Xuan, Shen Teng in your studio, this actor seems to be good, otherwise, you let him play Yang Zhi, the first love of the heroine Fang Deng." Feng Gangpao gave Zhang Yuxuan such a role.

"That's fine!" Zhang Yuxuan nodded.

Although Zhang Yuxuan wants to win more roles for the artists in his studio.

But obviously, Feng Gangpao's side is only willing to give Zhang Yuxuan a role.

After all, Feng Gangpao has a very good relationship with Hua Yi, and he needs to keep some roles for Hua Yi. Being able to give Zhang Yuxuan's side a role in exchange for Zhang Yuxuan's cameo is already the limit of Feng Gangcang's ability.

Of course, Feng Gangpao can also arrange some particularly small and inconspicuous roles for Zhang Yi and others.

But a role of this level can almost be said to be insignificant for Zhang Yuxuan's artists.

After all, Zhang Yi has starred in the leading role of a movie with a box office of nearly 600 million, and he already has a certain degree of fame. What's more, he also went to the Spring Festival Gala.

On the actress side, Liu Yan and Yang Mi are not too famous, but small roles of this level are useless to them, unless they are important supporting roles.

But the important supporting role, Feng Gangpao has already been arranged, Fang Deng's role has long been given to Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jingchu is not a simple role, she has already been given the role, don't want to take it away from her, Feng Gangpao is definitely supporting her now.

The other character, Fonda's wife, gave his former good brother Wang Shuo's relationship.

Therefore, Feng Gangpao can only throw a role that is not so complicated in various relationships, Yang Zhi, to Shen Teng of Zhang Yuxuan's studio.

The contract was signed, and Zhang Yuxuan's work for most of the year was decided.

……

"Run, Brother" will start broadcasting on Lu Provincial TV today, everyone take a good look at it, see if there is anything bad about their performance, and improve it next time they shoot." Zhang Yuxuan said in the running men's group.

Zhang Yuxuan deliberately built a running men's group, adding all the guests of "Run, Brother", and discussing some topics about "Run, Brother" at any time.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Yuxuan just added regular guests, Zhang Yuxuan, Shen Teng, Liu Yan, Guo Jingfei, Deng Chao, Sha Yi and Xiao Bao formed a working group.

But after Huang Bo saw them, they had to be added, according to them, the flying guests were also guests, why couldn't they be added.

Zhang Yuxuan simply asked them to join in, so that the group would be more lively.

"Rest assured, the boss is already sitting in front of the TV." Shen Teng.

"I'll take a good look at the boss." Yoo Yeon.

In addition to these two people in Zhang Yuxuan's studio, everyone else also responded.

In fact, people like Xiaobao, who don't even have a formal and stable job, stayed in front of the TV early, waiting for "Run, Brother" to start.

At the same time, for the chat group, he has long been directly at the top, and he pays attention to any message in the chat group at any time, and it doesn't seem like he missed any of them at all.

After the 'Infertility Treatment' commercial, 'Run, Brother' finally started playing.

To be honest, before watching a variety show, Zhang Yuxuan actually felt a little ashamed in his heart after watching such an advertisement.

It's a pity that compared with Lu Provincial TV Station, other TV stations either don't want to cooperate, or the cooperation conditions are too poor, so Zhang Yuxuan can only choose Lu Provincial TV Station, so he can only endure this kind of 'infertility' advertisement.

And when "Run, Brother" was launched, there were already many viewers sitting in front of the TV watching this variety show.

Since he decided to start filming the variety show "Run, Brother", Zhang Yuxuan has already started to promote.

On the neck, there is propaganda about this aspect, and there are also propaganda advertisements on Zhang Yuxuan's station.

There are also some video websites that have also bought advertisements for promotion.

In addition to Zhang Yuxuan, Huang Bo, Fan Xiaobing, Wang Baoqiao and Gao Yuanyuan also helped Zhang Yuxuan to do publicity.

At the same time, the first outdoor variety show in China, the only outdoor variety show without a script in China, and other promotional slogans have already been played.

It can be said that the popularity of "Run, Brother" has long been raised by Zhang Yuxuan.

Especially Zhang Yuxuan's fans are still so much, they have long been full of expectations for this variety show.

What's more, watching variety shows on TV is not like a movie, and you have to spend money to watch it in the cinema. Variety shows on TV are completely free and don't cost money.

Therefore, most of Zhang Yuxuan's fans are also willing to take time to support Zhang Yuxuan's variety show.

As for whether it will continue to watch it in the future, this needs to look at the quality of the variety show to see if it is good-looking.

But in the first issue, Zhang Yuxuan's publicity still made many people pay attention to this variety show, and most of them didn't mind spending a few minutes to determine whether this variety show was worth watching.

……

"This is the script of our variety show, everyone take a good look at it, don't miss it......"

After the launch of "Run, Brother", after the cool appearance of the guests, there was such a paragraph, and the program director sent the script.

This makes many people watching TV a little confused, especially those viewers who see that there is no script for the promotional program, but then, when the director announces that there is no script at all, and after they stay up late to watch the script completely in vain, the audience in front of the TV can't help laughing. The actor was tricked by the director, and it was fun.
