Chapter 344: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
The popularity of "Hurricane Rescue 2" has not decreased, and on the day when the box office of Xiangjiang City exceeded 100 million, the film was also successfully launched in North America.
The first part before, Yongsheng was released in North America through Columbia, and this time, because of Zhang Chu's relationship, the head of Warner Bros. Asia-Pacific took the initiative to contact Xiang Huaqiang.
Zhang Chu did not pay attention to the negotiations between the two sides, but only learned afterwards that in order to get the distribution rights of "Hurricane Rescue 2" in North America, Warner gave up most of its interests.
Sometimes, things are as simple as that, because there were no achievements before, even if "Hurricane Rescue" has achieved good results in the mainland, Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, and even Dongying, but if you want to attack the North American market, you still have to look at other people's faces.
And after having an excellent report card, there is no need to ask for help, and naturally someone will rush to ask for cooperation.
Because the interests are in front of you, and continuing to hold the so-called pride is to get along with the money.
"Brother! This is the box office data that Xiang Taigang sent over! ”
The pony handed a piece of paper to him, but Zhang Chu didn't even look at it, and raised his hand to push it away.
"You just have to know it in your heart, I won't look at it!"
At this moment, Zhang Chu and Pony are on their way to Tseung Kwan O.
I'm going to go to the United States to promote "Nightcrawler" in a few days, and I thought that I would take a good rest during this time, and by the way, I would guide Xiang Zuo to practice with peace of mind.
As a result, Wang Jinghua called yesterday and arranged another thing for Zhang Chu.
Go and explore Li Bingbing's class!
When Wang Jinghua mentioned this name, Zhang Chu thought she was wrong.
I remembered it carefully before I remembered.
Wang Jinghua has more than one soldier.
When Zhang Chu made a cameo appearance in the crew of "Young Zhang Sanfeng" before, he also met this Li Bingbing.
Does this count as an old acquaintance in a foreign land?
Wang Jinghua's connections are indeed very extensive, and he actually quietly operated Li Bingbing to Xiangjiang.
Listening to Wang Jinghua, Li Bingbing now has two dramas being filmed at the same time, although they are not the protagonists, but they are all big stars in Xiangjiang.
Today, the crew that Zhang Chu is going to, the actor Li Bingbing cooperates with is the king Liu Dehua.
"Are you ready?"
Pony put the report away and said, "It's all ready, brother!" Sister Hua specially asked you to visit Li Bingbing's class, is there anything else? ”
Needless to say?
It can't be because Li Bingbing is filming in Xiangjiang, Wang Jinghua specially called and asked Zhang Chu to take time to go over.
On the phone, Wang Jinghua didn't say it explicitly, but Zhang Chu had already guessed it.
She fought fiercely over there, and she had already made up her mind to leave Huayi, so she naturally wanted to take all the money she had saved over the years with her.
Li Bingbing is also an actor that Wang Jinghua is particularly optimistic about, and he must not be cheap for the Wang brothers.
It's just that Wang Jinghua wanted Zhang Chu to be a lobbyist, and it didn't go very well when he wanted to talk about moving Li Bingbing.
What Wang Jinghua can't do, Zhang Chu can do it?
This thing...... It's hard to say.
"What's the name of the scene she is filming with the crew now?"
"Mice fall in love with cats!"
Belch......
What a broken name.
The crew is now in Tseung Kwan O, where there is an antique film and television base built by Shaw Brothers, and many crews filming costume dramas in Xiangjiang will come here to film.
The news that Zhang Chu was coming to visit the class, Li Bingbing had already known in advance, although she understood Wang Jinghua's intentions, she did not reject it.
Having such a popular star as Zhang Chu come to support him is also very beneficial to Li Bingbing.
It can't be said that Xiangjiang is xenophobic, but she is a mainlander, and if she wants to be famous in the Xiangjiang film industry, it is obviously much more difficult than a local in Xiangjiang.
First of all, it is not easy to pass a language barrier, Li Bingbing is a native of Northeast China, and he speaks with an accent, and now he is asked to speak Cantonese, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
When Li Bingbing was on the set, she heard the crew call her "Beigu" in private more than once, and if she had followed her temper, she would have made a fuss.
But now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and her confidence is insufficient.
Zhang Chu can come, at least let some people in the crew be more restrained, knowing that she is not without backers.
The car drove directly to the set, and when Zhang Chu appeared, the crew also looked sideways.
In today's Xiangjiang, no one has this red.
"Achu!"
The first person Zhang Chu saw was not Li Bingbing, but Liu Dehua.
Just in time for lunch, the king of heaven sat against the wall without paying attention to his image, and when Zhang Chu came, he was holding a boxed lunch and feasting.
has been in the industry for four years, and Zhang Chu has cooperated with many stars, but someone like Liu Dehua is down-to-earth, and he has not met a second one.
"Brother Birch!"
When filming "Infernal Affairs" together before, Zhang Chu and Liu Dehua had a good relationship, and Liu Dehua also took the initiative to send an invitation to Zhang Chu, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate again.
"You're here for ......"
"An artist under my agent is filming here, come and take a look!"
Zhang Chu said, he saw Li Bingbing in the corner, followed by only an assistant, and when he looked over, he happened to meet Li Bingbing's gaze.
Andy Lau also noticed.
"Don't bother you and your friends to catch up, we'll talk later!"
Liu Dehua smiled and patted Zhang Chu's shoulder, and went back to squatting to continue cooking.
Zhang Chu explained that the pony picked up his things and walked towards Li Bingbing.
Li Bingbing immediately got up when he saw this, although she was older than Zhang Chu, but now in the coffee position in the circle, Zhang Chu dumped her at least three streets.
Today, Zhang Chuneng came to help her stand on the platform, and she had to recognize this favor.
Zhang ...... Mr! ”
How to call it, it really made Li Bingbing difficult.
Calling Brother Chu, she couldn't open her mouth.
"It's not the first time I've met, so you don't need to be so polite, just call my name!"
As he spoke, he gestured to the pony.
Xiaoma immediately stepped forward, and after greeting Li Bingbing, she called her assistant and distributed the milk tea she brought to the crew together.
"Thank you!"
Li Bingbing had noticed that many people were looking at them, perhaps speculating about the relationship between Zhang Chu and her.
This doesn't need to be explained, whatever everyone thinks, just let them know that she has a good relationship with Zhang Chu.
"Thank you, Brother Chu, thank you, Sister Bing!"
The colleagues who got the milk tea expressed their gratitude, and their attitude towards Li Bingbing was very different from before.
Seeing this scene, Li Bingbing couldn't help laughing at herself, she thought that with her own efforts, she would be recognized one day.
She really worked hard, but no matter how hard she tried, it couldn't compare to Zhang Chu's effect of stopping here.
"It's not easy to have a hard time in the crew, right?"
When Li Bingbing heard this, he nodded helplessly.
"It's all the same, actors from the mainland come here to film, and in their eyes, it's like poor relatives coming to fight the autumn breeze."
Listening to what Zhang Chu said was interesting, Li Bingbing also smiled.
"When you first came here to film, it was the same?"
I?
Who dares!
"If anyone dares to show me a look, I will beat him to convince him!"
Hehe!
Li Bingbing listened, and automatically made up the picture of Zhang Chu subduing people with his fists, and I have to say that if she can do that, it will be really happy.
"Sister Hua asked you to visit the class, did she also let you be a lobbyist?"
Zhang Chu didn't expect Li Bingbing to be so straightforward.
"Sister Hua didn't say it, but it should mean this, tell me, what do you think?"
The two of them are not very familiar with each other, but since Li Bingbing took the initiative to mention it, Zhang Chu also followed her words and asked.
"I haven't figured it out yet!"
Gotcha!
It's not that I didn't think about whether to follow Wang Jinghua or stay in Huayi, but I didn't think about how to talk to Wang Jinghua.
Li Bingbing's choice, Zhang Chu was not surprised.
Feelings are feelings, but no matter how heavy you are about feelings, you must also consider your own future.
For the sake of his future, Li Bingbing made a choice according to his own ideas, which is understandable.
"I think it's best for you to talk to Sister Hua about this."
Li Bingbing was stunned for a moment, obviously Zhang Chu had guessed her thoughts.
She is indeed more inclined to stay in Huayi, and she has already met with Wang Zhonglei, and the conditions offered by the other party make her very excited.
Now Li Bingbing's position in Huayi is not up or down, and there are at least three or five people in the middle from the position of the first sister.
Once Wang Jinghua leaves, he is bound to take many people with him.
After the people in front of her left, maybe the position of the first sister would be hers.
When the time comes, resources or something, can she be missing?
"You don't want to persuade me?"
Zhang Chu smiled: "Why should I persuade you, it's your business, make your own decision, but, as I just said, I suggest you think about it seriously." ”
Wang Jinghua is not an intolerable person, Li Bingbing wants to stay in Huayi, he can say it clearly, but if he keeps dragging it out like this, he will be more likely to offend Wang Jinghua at that time.
"I see!"
Li Bingbing also reacted, knowing that Zhang Chu had good intentions, and looked at him with a little more gratitude.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for the second time, it's really unnecessary."
Saying that, Zhang Chu looked at Li Bingbing's outfit, looking at the jewelry, if the headdress was real, it would definitely be worth a lot.
"Who are you playing in this play?"
"Princess!"
Li Bingbing said, and raised his arm, with wide robes and big sleeves, looking at the style, it was really a bit extravagant.
"What about Liu Dehua?"
"He's acting."
Zhang Chu turned his head to look over, Liu Dehua was still squatting and eating a boxed lunch, chatting with the staff around him while eating.
This man really doesn't have any shelf at all.
Zhanzhao?
Zhang Chu has seen a lot of them after crossing, including "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and Zhanzhao is one of the characters.
Wait a minute!
A mouse falls in love with a cat?
It's not going to be Zhanzhao's royal cat, right?
So who is the mouse who fell in love with cats?
The five rats on Sky Island are all men!
Could it be ......
"Hello, long time no see!"
Someone behind him was talking, listening to the male duck's voice, Zhang Chu didn't need to look back to know who it was.
"I saw it in Wuxi last month!"
