"Senior brother!"

"Senior brother, come so early."

Lu Bu saw Zhang Jin in the waiting area, this guy was dressed in a black suit, combed his back hair, and looked very stylish.

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "I just arrived for a while. ”

Lu Bu then asked, "Are your uncles and aunts okay?" ”

Zhang Jin nodded and said, "It's okay, they always miss you, let me see you and tell you, I have time to go back for a meal." ”

Lu Bu's heart warmed and said, "Wait a while, you also know that I have a lot of things to do this year." ”

Zhang Jin said "um" and said, "It's okay, you get busy with business first." ”

Lu Bu glanced around, and asked again: "Won't the crew of "Kung Fu" just come to the two of us, right?" ”

Zhang Jin spread out his hand and said, "That's true." ”

"Kung Fu" received 10 nominations at this year's Golden Horse Awards, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Action Design...... Wait.

However, due to his unexpected defeat in the Academy Awards and his rejection of the Golden Rooster Awards, Zhou Gaochi was a little disheartened and felt that he had little hope of winning the Golden Horse Awards this time, so he did not come.

Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu were filming in Xiangjiang, and they couldn't get away.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "What about Huang Shengyi?" ”

Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard him ask, and said, "You don't know? ”

Lu Bu was puzzled: "What do you know?" ”

Zhang Jin explained: "She had a falling out with Xingye's company and was in a lawsuit, and she didn't report a single award this time." ”

"Huh?" Lu Bu really didn't know about this, and asked, "Why?" ”

Huang Shengyi, who did not graduate from college last year, became famous overnight with "Kung Fu", and she starred in a movie for the first time, not only with the halo of a star girl on her head, but also shortlisted for several heavyweight awards such as the Academy Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Newcomer.

When Zhou Gaochi was casting for the movie, he asked to wear simple clothes without makeup, and wanted a simple and beautiful feeling, and Huang Shengyi, who was only in his early twenties at the time, looked very pure and had a pure temperament, even if he didn't wear makeup, he looked simple and beautiful, and was finally selected and signed an eight-year contract with Xinghui Company.

Zhou Gaochi is notoriously strict on the set, which Lu Bu has seen, but he is very patient with Huang Shengyi, and will demonstrate several actions to her during the scene, asking her opinion, which stunned all the staff.

After the movie was released, Huang Shengyi, who had the name of the star girl on her head, became popular overnight, and every time she appeared, she always attracted a lot of media attention, and during that time, the relationship between Huang Shengyi and Stephen Chow and Xinghui Company was good everywhere, and it was perfect in Huang Shengyi's mouth: "Xing Ye is my idol, and the signing of the contract for 8 years is also because Xing Ye gave me the opportunity to make movies, and the company also respects artists and is not so dictatorial." ”

However, less than a year after the movie was released, Huang Shengyi, who was facing graduation this year, terminated the contract with Xinghui Company.

Huang Shengyi, who praised Xinghui Company for respecting artists and giving artists a lot of space, turned his head and cried to media reporters, being forced and threatened by the company to accept drama appointments and endorsements, and taking on various activities for her without consultation, and even threatening the filming of "Kung Fu 2".

On the other hand, Xinghui Company said that it was Huang Shengyi who took over the private work and took a large-scale photo, which violated the company and the contract regulations, and would hide her indefinitely.

Huang Shengyi then filed a lawsuit with the court, suing Zhou Gaochi and Xinghui Company together, and his attitude was very resolute, and he also publicly stated: "No matter how big the price is, I must go." ”

After Zhang Jin finished talking about the cause and effect, he sighed: "You said that this matter made a fuss, she had a good chance to win the Best Newcomer Actor Award at this Golden Horse Awards, but it's a pity." ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "This thing doesn't conform to common sense, she just tasted red, and another college student who just graduated, where did she get the courage to fight a lawsuit?" Someone behind it? ”

When Zhang Jin heard this, he smiled and said: "You are right, I read the media reports that her boyfriend is very rich and a rich second generation, and she seems to be ......" Speaking of this, he paused, looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one nearby, and then whispered: "Xiao San stepped in." ”

Lu Bu shook his head when he heard this, but this is also reasonable, there are people who support him and give advice.

For example, portraying herself as a weak party, shedding tears in front of media reporters, saying that she couldn't sleep at night and was depressed, etc., if someone didn't help her, where would she know so much about such an extremely complicated thing as terminating the contract.

However, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, because the reputation of both sides will be affected, Huang Shengyi will definitely carry the words "ungrateful", and Zhou Gaochi and Xinghui Company will also be labeled as "bullying the small with the big".

This is the reason why Lu Bu is reluctant to sign the company, it's okay to be fine, but it's troublesome when something happens.

Zhang Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Through this incident, I admire you and the eighth master even more, whether it is the Mengjiang Studio or the Yuan family class, they have not used a lot of terms and regulations to stipulate the freedom of the dead members." ”

Lu Bu didn't think about it so much at the time, just to dispel the idea that other companies wanted to sign him, and later with Yu Feihong, it was all her idea to sign someone or something.

The two were chatting, and a familiar figure came over, saying to Lu Bu in extremely broken Mandarin: "Hey, isn't the ring a generation of children's cauldron!" ”

It's not Cai Shaofen, who else, Lu Bu was stunned by this title, but he quickly reacted, the sequel to "Water Moon Cave Sky" "Legend of the Spirit Realm", he and Hu Jing didn't act, Tong Bo became Yu Bo, and Doudou became Cai Shaofen, so he said: "Hello." ”

Cai Shaofen said politely: "Hello." ”

Seeing that she held Zhang Jin's hand, a look of surprise flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, is this together?

Zhang Jin hurriedly explained: "I, my girlfriend. ”

When people fall in love, they are hidden, but these two do the opposite and are generous.

Lu Bu wanted to give them a thumbs up.

It turned out that the two looked at each other when they filmed "Legend of the Spiritual Realm" at the beginning of the year.

But what is interesting is that Zhang Jin's first confession failed.

Cai Shaofen only had one sentence: "You can still be friends." ”

However, early the next morning, Cai Shaofen called Zhang Jin: "Have you gotten up?" ”

Zhang Jin is like a second monk who is confused, obviously refused, why are you in such a hurry to greet me?

A few days later, Zhang Jin confessed again, but was still rejected.

It's strange to say, even if every confession fails, Cai Shaofen is becoming more and more clingy to Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin thought to himself: This person is a little nervous, right?

As more and more interactions and the two became more and more familiar, Zhang Jin's third confession finally succeeded.

However, Cai Shaofen has three chapters of the law for Zhang Jin, "can't be public, can't kiss, can't hold hands".

However, this so-called three chapters of the covenant was broken by Cai Shaofen himself the next day.

Since this is the case, I simply don't engage in any underground love.

After listening to the love process between the two, Lu Bu wanted to laugh a little, the same plot as acting.

However, the Xiangjiang media are all criticizing this relationship, Cai Shaofen debuted at the age of fifteen, was elected as Miss Hong Kong at the age of seventeen, and has already become purple and dominates TVB's major film and television dramas, and Zhang Jin at this time, who is thirty-one years old, is just a martial arts instructor with a little fame, and can occasionally play some small roles.

Lu Bu didn't think so.

A little fame?

won the Academy Award for Best Martial Arts Instructor, just a little famous?

Don't go to the martial arts circle to inquire, among the new generation of martial arts instructors, who can compare to Zhang Jin?

In terms of acting, it is relatively weak, but this does not mean that it will not rise in the future.

The three of them chatted for a while, and someone else joined in.

Who? Xu Krypton.

Although the reputation and box office of "Seven Swords" were not good, it was still nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, the Best Cinematography Award, and the Best Action Direction Award at this Golden Horse Awards...... And so on and so on seven prizes.

Since they are all small awards, Xu Krypton and Shi Nansheng came.

"Director Xu, martial arts instructors can consider my senior brother." Lu Bu recommended it to Xu Krypton.

"Yes, you brothers join forces, I am very relieved." Xu Krypton, the old fox, directly pulled Lu Bu up.

He is a master of the genre film that takes the "chivalrous route" among all action directors, and his perfect interpretation of the audio-visual feast in martial arts movies has an important aesthetic charm, and the action design in the film has far surpassed the martial arts action itself, with a strong visual impact.

And he has cooperated with a lot of martial arts instructors, such as Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Liu Weiliang, etc., all of whom are the top in the circle.

So in the selection of martial arts instructors, there are very high standards.

"A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Days" is regarded by him as a turnaround, and it will not be sloppy.

Before that, the first choice in his mind was Cheng Xiaodong, for the simple reason that he was the director and action director of the first three parts of the series, which could ensure the unity of style.

However, it has been fourteen years since the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story 3: Dao Dao Dao", and Cheng Xiaodong's style has also changed slightly, and it is unknown whether he can reproduce the previous taste.

Now that Lu Bu has opened this mouth, he suddenly feels that the combination of [Lu Bu + Zhang Jin] is also good.

For one, the style of action is to his liking.

Second, the audience likes it.

The second point is particularly important.

Take his street-fighting trilogy as an example, the action director of "The Legend of Shushan" and "Black Man 2" is Yuan Heping, and the action director of "Seven Swords" is Liu Weiliang, dare to say that martial arts are not good?

So, audience liking is king.

Zhang Jin thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, junior brother, thank you Director Xu." ”

Cai Shaofen followed in a dignified manner: "Senior brother of Crab Crab, Director Xu of Crab." ”

In a blink of an eye, it was the turn of the two crews to walk the red carpet.

Lu Bu is not working, and the highlights are less than half.

However, he is still the brightest star.

The cheers of the fans and the chase of the media reporters were the craziest in the audience.

It's not that he doesn't want to live.

The problem is that Baodao Province is too far away, it is inconvenient to consign Heifeng, and the chance of winning the prize is small, so I am too lazy to get it.

Otherwise, there will be a Meng Yi shape high and low.

Not long after the entrance, the awards party began.

"Kung Fu" won 6 awards.

Yuan Hua became the Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, and Yuan Qiu made up for the regret of losing the Academy Awards and won the Best Supporting Actress Award.

And the two heaviest awards, Best Film and Best Director, once again proved Zhou Gaochi's extraordinary strength.

Lu Bu and Zhang Jin failed to win the Best Action Direction Award, which was won by Liu Weiliang of "Seven Swords".

Guo Fucheng won the Best Actor Award for his outstanding performance in "Three Forks".

This is probably the most surprising thing tonight, he has always been said to be the worst acting actor among the four kings, and he was crowned the actor for the first time when he was nominated for the Golden Horse Awards.

Indeed, no one thought of it, no wonder he himself cried with joy when he heard the announcement of the guests.

And Shu Qi's winning of the Best Actress Award is the most suspenseful award tonight, and all previous predictions are optimistic about her.

When she received the Golden Horse trophy, she cried excitedly like a child.

It is not easy for a tertiary film actress to get to this day, and from then on, she is proud not only of her sexy figure, but also of her excellent acting skills.

As for the most depressed tonight, it was Du Qifeng, there was no one, "Dragon City Years" had 11 nominations, and in the end it only won the Best Original Screenplay Award and the Best Sound Award.

For the rest, the Best Newcomer Award is Zhou Jilun, and the Best Adapted Screenplay Award is "No Thieves in the World......

Lu Bu and Zhang Jin were not empty in their hands, and they received awards for Zhou Gaochi, Yuan Hua, and Yuan Qiu, but their hearts were empty, and they didn't get a single award.

Fortunately, it was expected, and there was not much sense of loss.

In the evening, he pulled Zhang Jin and Xu Krypton to get together.

After returning to the hotel, Jia Jingwen also went to take a look, and she was already able to get out of bed and move.

The next day, Xu Krypton followed Lu Bu back to Yanjing to discuss the casting and start-up of "A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Days".

——————

——————

Liuli factory, small courtyard.

The fragrance of tea and chrysanthemum blends together, making people relax and feel comfortable.

What can't be done in such an environment?

Not only Lu Bu and Xu Krypton, but also Yu Feihong, Zeng Wei, and Zhang Guirong are also there.

Xu Krypton was the first to speak, and said: "What has been determined so far is your Ning Caichen, Xiao Zeng's Nie Xiaoqian, Leslie's Yan Chixia, and the remaining fox demon grandma, Black Mountain Rakshasa ......."

After he finished speaking, Lu Bu gave Zhang Guirong a look.

Zhang Guirong immediately said: "Director Xu, do you think it is possible to arrange the group sages in?" ”

Xu Krypton was stunned: "Isn't she dead?" ”

Zhang Guirong replied: "I quit the music scene before. ”

Lu Bu followed: "That relationship is good, after fourteen years, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are reunited on the screen." ”

Xu Krypton saw that the two of them sang and harmonized, how could he not understand, and then said: "It's not impossible." ”

Yu Feihong's eyes lit up and said, "In this way, my feelings are full." ”

Xu Krypton thought for a while and said, "The script needs to be revised slightly, but it's not a big problem, let's change it while shooting." ”

He already has a direction for revision, and it will even become a climactic point.

Zeng Yi suddenly opened his mouth and said half-jokingly: "It would be perfect if Teacher Wu Code and Teacher Liu Xun were also invited." ”

They are all very brilliant and memorable existences in the first three parts, since they want to sell their feelings, why not be thorough?

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth hooked, and he praised: "Good proposal!" ”

Yu Feihong smiled and said, "It's really good." ”

Xu Krypton groaned, "Hmm...... I could have invited a cameo. ”

Chatting, chatting, the sun slowly set.

Most of the matters such as landscaping, costumes, and funds have already been prepared, and there are only a few main actors left, and after it is determined, the start time is set for November 22.

With a budget of 100 million, the studio invested 20 million this time, which is the largest investment in a single project.

Lu Bu and Yu Feihong were both optimistic, and after discussing it, they voted, and they could afford to lose anyway.

The remaining 80 million will be divided by companies or individuals such as Huangying Entertainment, Zhouyi Film and Television, and Xu Krypton.

Even if Xu Krypton pounces three times in a row, there are still people who are willing to vote, and with Lu Bu starring, it is more stable.

Of course, they didn't throw tens of millions of dollars into it just because of this, and they didn't engage in charity.

Behind the team's analysis and calculation, a certain number of conditions required for an investment, a certain number of moviegoers, a sufficient number of screens and cinemas, the audience's acceptance of the subject matter, the overall publicity, marketing and communication, a reasonable schedule, etc.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Bu sent Yu Feihong home.

In the car.

Yu Feihong talked about Zhang Liangying and said, "She broke up with her boyfriend. ”

In this year's Super Girl Finals, Li Yuchun won the championship with more than 3.5 million votes, Zhou Bising won the runner-up with more than 3.2 million votes, and Zhang Liangying ranked third with more than 1.3 million votes.

This result is the same as everyone guessed.

Using telephone voting as the basis for rankings, popularity determines everything.

Lu Bu said quite unexpectedly: "Isn't the relationship between the two of them very good?" Zhang Liangying listens to her boyfriend for everything. ”

Yu Feihong said slowly: "You said yes, her boyfriend is very deep in the city, last month, her boyfriend as he said at the beginning, let her terminate the contract with Yutian Media without spending a penny, on the choice of the next family, the two had a difference of opinion, Zhang Liangying wanted to choose our studio, and her boyfriend asked her to sign a friendship brother." ”

Lu Bu smiled faintly, the attraction of the best contract in the entertainment industry is not blown, and artists want to sign it.

Yu Feihong continued: "Then there was a quarrel, in fact, it was not a big deal, the bedside quarrel and the end of the bed, the fuse of the breakup was that she learned from others that the reason why her boyfriend was so tough and asked her to sign a friendship brother was that she promised him a lot of benefits, and then her mother also added a lot of fire, that is, she questioned that her boyfriend had not shown a certificate of divorce from his ex-wife, and it was only at this time that she understood that her boyfriend was with her, not because of love, but to make money." ”

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "How do you know in such detail?" ”

Yu Feihong pursed his lips and said: "It's all reported by the media, this is definitely not groundless." ”

Lu Bu sighed: "Then she is also quite miserable, being cheated of money and sex by a married man." ”

Yu Feihong exhaled and said: "Who says it's not, the old saying goes, 'Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man'." As he spoke, he changed his words and said, "Then do you still want to sign her?" ”

After thinking for a while, Lu Bu said: "Her singing strength is still there, and her potential is also very great, if she is still willing to come to our studio, there is no reason not to sign, right?" ”

Yu Feihong smiled lightly: "There's no reason not to sign." ”
