Shen Xudong looks casual and free-spirited...

In fact, he is a very vengeful man!

Back then, because of Zhang Ziyi's temporary price increase, "Exquisite Ancient City" was forced to suspend for three months, and Shen Xudong didn't let go of this matter.

This is also the main reason why Shen Xudong could not agree to her starring in "33 Days of Broken Love"...

By the way, the conversation with her is not lacking in yin and yang...

A few years ago, well, just last year, Zhang Ziyi's brokerage team announced that she had taken over several Hollywood-themed movies.

Recently, Zhang Ziyi is negotiating with Weinstein to sign a contract to act in three films, including a remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai". ’

There is also 'Zhang Ziyi signed a contract with a Hollywood tycoon to play "Mulan""...

Some time ago, it was also revealed that 'Zhang Ziyi cooperated with Hugh Grant to jointly perform a transnational relationship, "Unspeakable"'

Of course, we all know that these projects end up on paper!

On the one hand... Well, in fact, it was the financial crisis that led to the poor financing, and the project was yellow...

So, nine out of ten projects are yellow...

“… Harvey's money isn't going well..."

"Then you still dare to release the news?"

"Hollywood is like that!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I'm not like this, I usually start the promotion after the movie is finished..."

"You're making it independently, it's different..."

"Isn't 'Knight' an independent production? I heard Joseph say that the main cost of "Knight" is the responsibility of the Taiwan Longxiang Company..."

Zhang Ziyi realized that Shen Xudong was also a member of the Hollywood industry and was clear about these things, but she still argued strongly: "Lionsgate Release..."

Shen Xudong reminded: "Lionsgate's boss Joe Drake, and executive CEO Nathan Kahane are all my partners, and they have released several horror films such as "Human Removal Project", "Death Divination", and "Escape Room"..."

Zhang Ziyi glanced at him and said helplessly: "... Lionsgate was initially reluctant to put "The Knight" directly on the DVD market, but after a few film festivals, it finally chose to release it on DVD..."

"Wouldn't it be right to say that earlier, what kind of detour with me?"

After Shen Xudong finished eating, he took out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and then said: "Senior sister, we are all Chinese operas, and it stands to reason that we should help each other, but unfortunately, when I need help, you don't care about me, at least you love to ignore it..."

"I don't love to answer..."

"Oh?" Shen Xudong asked directly: "What is going on with "Exquisite Ancient City"? ”

Zhang Ziyi's agent Ji Lingling interjected: "... At that time, Ziyi received an invitation to "Knight", and the two projects clashed..."

"If I'm not mistaken, 'Exquisite Ancient City' was invited before 'Knight', right? So, you guys didn't like this project from the beginning! ”

Ji Lingling also wanted to explain, but Shen Xudong waved his hand: "You don't need to say it, I also want to thank you, the senior sister didn't star, and the cost was saved by at least 4 million US dollars... Box office earnings are about the same! ”

The overseas sales of "Exquisite Ancient City" are about 48 million US dollars (Japanese benzene has not yet been released), plus 390 million yuan in the mainland, the global box office exceeds 100 million US dollars...

Don't think it's easy to have a global box office of more than $100 million, it's still a Chinese film...

Zhang Ziyi regrets it to death - "Exquisite Ancient City" belongs to the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and at least six of them will be filmed!

Zhang Ziyi, who is familiar with the rules of Hollywood, knows very well that series are the foundation and basic plate of superstars...

Because of "Knight", I gave up "Exquisite Ancient City"...

It's not just stupidity, it's just stupidity!

And because this play has a bad relationship with Tianmei, it is a stupid thing to do.

That's why she has to lower her profile... Or to make friends with Shen Xudong with flattery...

After thinking about it, she explained: "Actually, I have a conflict with Xu Ke, back then, "The Legend of Shushan" made me a supporting role... So, I don't trust him..."

Oh, this is also a fact, "The Legend of Shushan", Zhang Ziyi is only a very small role in the film, and against the backdrop of Cecilia Cheung, she is like a village girl...

But the paradox is that "The Legend of Shushan" went to Europe to sell films, and Zhang Ziyi, the Hong Kong poster, was originally a very small avatar, but when she went abroad, her avatar became the absolute protagonist, and Cecilia Cheung disappeared...

Zhang Ziyi later introduced the interview and said: "I am just a big supporting role in it, and I will not write "Shushan" in my work resume. Because I don't think that's my work! ”

"Yes, but I'm the producer of "Exquisite Ancient City"!"

Zhang Ziyi also wanted to fight for it again: "I think the film should be refined, you know, uh, refinement." ”

Shen Xudong silently recited the idiom several times in his heart, with a strange smile on his face, he understood what the senior sister meant, one overflowed, and the other begged.

He smiled dumbly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't spare time." ”

Then he said to Chen Xi: "Let's go!" ”

Chen Xi glanced at Ji Lingling and Zhang Ziyi a little embarrassed, and followed Shen Xudong's footsteps...

……

In the car, Shen Xudong noticed that Chen Xi turned his head to look behind him from time to time, and couldn't help but ask: "... What are you looking at? ”

"I'm looking to see if there's a car chasing after me..."

"Chasing?"

"You humiliate Zhang Ziyi so much..."

"Humiliation?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I'm not humiliating, I'm just stating the facts, you should go to the Internet to see what her black fans say about her!" ”

Words such as black powder and true love powder often pop out of Shen Xudong's mouth.

Chen Xi, as his royal producer, has a very close relationship with him, and of course he knows the meaning of these words, so he asks rhetorically: "Aren't you her black fan?" ”

"What kind of black fan am I? I actually admire her... It is not easy for a Chinese to gain a foothold in Hollywood! ”

After thinking about it, he added: "It's kind enough to remind her not to get involved with people like Deng Wendi, and persuade her to investigate her rich boyfriend..."

"Rich boyfriend? Warner Bros.'s majority shareholder? ”

"So it's, Warner Bros. is affiliated with Time Warner, and none of Time Warner's thirteen board members is named Vivi Nevo!"

"Liar?"

"Well, that's what I think anyway!"

Shen Xudong continued: "There has never been a case of a Chinese female star marrying a rich man, let alone an international rich. Yang Yan was conquered by Wu Zheng's LV bag, and Wu Zheng was just a poor gangster back then; Li Xiang is married to a "big loser" Li Houlin, and his liabilities are far greater than his assets; Including Gong Li's marriage to Singapore's unemployed Han Huang and..."

“… Gong Li is divorced! ”

"I know!"

Shen Xudong nodded, he knew Gong Li very well...

Although we haven't seen each other for almost a year, I still occasionally text to get in touch...

Then I heard Chen Xi nodding his head: "Yes, no one knows Gong Li as well!" ”

"Ahem..."Shen Xudong didn't want to continue the topic: "Gong Li's cooperation with us is almost over, right?" ”

"Well, there's also a "Blood Guanyin"... But "Blood Guanyin" is still being cast, and it is difficult for this play to be released in the mainland..."
