Chapter 100 We were cheated!

Zhang Jizhong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Conquer" were broadcast on Jinling TV at the same time.

Of course, with the bearded man's reputation and connections, he got the best prime time, which was from seven to nine o'clock.

Lao Zhang looked around and confirmed that there were no strong competitors in the same period. He put his hands in his pockets and prepared to sing a song "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven".

With his hands in his pockets, he was invincible.

But after getting the ratings report, I suddenly discovered that the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were actually ranked second on the list.

"What the hell is this movie 'Conquest'?" The bearded man was confused.

"Hey...I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Zhang Jizhong touched the beard on his chin and looked up in thought.

"It aired at a worse time slot than my show The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but it actually had a two percentage point higher viewership rating when it aired at the same time!"

You know, this is a satellite TV series, not broadcast on local TV stations.

The average viewership rate of many TV series is less than 2%, but there is such a big gap between "Conquest" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

How could the bearded man not be surprised?

Studying the opponent is also a basic quality for a producer. The bearded man turned on the TV and started watching.

Just like before filming Jin Yong's drama, he also watched all the Hong Kong versions.

However, in order to highlight himself in front of the media, he criticized the Hong Kong version harshly, especially in terms of scenes, props, and costumes, and criticized the Hong Kong version harshly.

What he said does make sense, but it is also full of selfish motives.

Why is the Hong Kong version not up to par in terms of scenes, props and costumes?

poverty!
If the bearded man sprays the other party, he can invest heavily in these items and ask for more money from investors.

Moreover, the cost fluctuations of these items are very large, and there is a lot of profit in the middle... How can he, as a producer, be free of it?

This is also the reason why the bearded man is always very domineering and always wants to have absolute control over the crew.

The greater the power, the more benefits you get.

This is also the reason why Big Beard strongly opposed when Zhou Xiaowen proposed to change the filming location after Zhang Yuan's suggestion.

He had already negotiated with the film and television studio and the kickbacks were worth millions.

"Shit, it's him!" After a while, the bearded man jumped up from the single sofa in the hotel.

He saw the young man who had impressed him during the audition.

"In this film, he is still an almost unknown minor supporting role, just slightly better than a minor role."

"Compared to my performance during the audition, my acting here is still very immature," the bearded man recalled carefully.

"It's only been less than a year, and his progress is so fast!"

"It seems that the progress made by the students of the Central Academy of Drama from entering the school to graduating in four years of professional learning is not as great as that of this kid."

Zhang Jizhong thought that since the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" project had just been completed, it was time to go and take a look at the "Tianlong Crew".

At the same time, there was another group of people who were also shocked by the broadcast of "Conquest".

"Fuck!!!"

In a small bungalow in the imperial capital, a gangster with half a dragon tattooed on his back opened his eyes wide and slowly raised his stiff hands.

Why would he harm the dragon with patterns on it?

I got half of the tattoo, but I ran away because I was afraid of the pain...

It's obvious at first glance that he's not a serious gangster, just a small thug at most.

"Brother, we've been cheated!" The man picked up the phone, dialed the number, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Do you remember that hard spot we encountered twice?"

"It's the one I met in the small restaurant and Guangde Building."

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

"He and his brothers are all actors."

"I'm not kidding, their plays were all aired."

Not long after, a terrible roar that lingered in the air for several lingering minutes was heard from the other end of the phone.

The "big brother" who had dealt with Zhang Yuan twice was now crying silently in front of the TV.

The mistress beside him was wondering what was going on, he answered in pain.

"Sister, we've been fooled. We've been cheated."

This guy almost fainted with anger.

I have been in the underworld for so many years, but I was fooled by a rookie.

He was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed in the street, and his blood pressure rose higher than the house price.

"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"

……

The second day, night, crew.

"Cousin, this, this is..." Liu Qianqian looked at Zhang Yuan, who was dressed like a gentleman, in a panic.

Murong Fu swung the fan in his hand, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

Fierce and brutal, but only for a moment, and then he returned to the unrestrained and suave Nan Murong of the past, waving a paper fan.

"Miss, this is to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely." Bao Bu Tong said with a smile.

"A man of small mind is not a gentleman, and a man without cruelty is not a man." Feng Bo'e also said.

Behind them, in the Bilin Cave in Shanxi, the martial artists of Sang Tugong's faction died.

Today we are shooting a night scene, which covers the gathering of all the immortals in the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands.

Murong Fu and his party happened to pass by and wanted to leave without causing any trouble, but a word from the other party touched Gusu Murong's sore spot.

"You guys can go if you want, but you have to leave this girl behind to entertain the old ancestor."

This is why Murong Fu took action.

Although he had begun to feel resentful towards his cousin Wang Yuyan, their emotional foundation was still strong.

It is absolutely unacceptable to humiliate your cousin.

Unless it is for the cause of restoring the country, if so, even my cousin can be sacrificed.

There are too many fighting scenes in this scene, and it took several days to shoot. Today’s filming is mainly about literary scenes.

Zhang Yuan performed a few sword moves and pretended to take care of a sneak attacker, appearing to be at ease and relaxed.

The two retainers behind her immediately stepped forward to flatter her, and Liu Qianqian, who played Wang Yuyan, also smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Zhang Yuan is so handsome~" Since that day when she cried while immersed in the role, Xixi's acting skills have improved a lot.

"Murong Fu, believe it or not, I will kill your woman!" Boss Wu grabbed Liu Qianqian's fair neck.

"Try to touch her, and I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"

Xixi's pair of black eyes looked at Zhang Yuan at this time, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Haha, do you think threatening me with a woman will work?" Zhang Yuan smiled and put away the sword in his hand.

Sissi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. The expectation in her eyes naturally turned into disappointment, and there was even a hint of despair: "I turned my heart to the bright moon, but the moon only shines on the ditch."

"Ka, very good." Director Zhou wrapped himself in a military coat to resist the night chill.

As soon as he shouted "stop", Xixi came to Zhang Yuan angrily and poked his soft spot with the knuckle of her index finger.

"Save me or not!"

"Tell me quickly, will you save him or not?"

Zhang Yuan dodged and sighed, being able to get into a role is not always a good thing, who can stand being constantly criticized by others?

"Help, help, help. If your mother and you fall into the water, I will save you first."

"You were the one who fell into the water." Xixi rolled her eyes at him, still angry.

After a while, the crew continued filming.

At this time, Liu Qianqian jumped onto Lin Zhiying's back and had to let her carry her to complete the next scene.

"Are you very tired?"

"Not tired..." Lin Zhiying had just finished saying this when his legs went weak and he fell to the ground with Xixi.

"Ouch." Xixi fell on her back, looking like a turtle flipping over.

"Xiaozhi, are you okay?" Zhou Xiaowen stepped forward to check. Fortunately, both actors were fine.

"This... Wang Yuyan is too heavy." Lin Zhiying loosened his arms and looked embarrassed.

Zhang Yuan helped Xixi up: "See? I told you not to eat so many chicken legs."

Xixi wrinkled her nose, quite unconvinced: "Turn around."

"What?"

"Turn around!"

As soon as Zhang Yuan turned around, he felt a soft body falling on his back.

"Is it heavy?" Xixi deliberately shook it a few times: "Do you think I'm heavy?"

"Not heavy." Zhang Yuan shook his head. He estimated that Xixi only weighed about 7 or 80 kilograms.

It's only the beginning of the year, she's only 15 years old, and her height and weight haven't fully developed.

Of course, airbags aren't fully developed either.

After a few years, when you weigh around 90 pounds, the valley on your chest will begin to take shape.

"It seems like Xiao Zhi is too weak." Zhang Yuan glanced at Lin Zhiying's increasingly dark circles under his eyes, and thought that if Lin Xinru didn't leave, Duan Yu would be sucked dry.

The sperm-sucking skills of the women from Taiwan are really powerful. They sucked this guy till he was weakened.

"Come down." Zhang Yuan shouted.

"No, it's quite comfortable carrying you on your back. Let me stay a little longer." After saying that, she actually yawned.

This girl usually goes to bed early. Her mother arranges her schedule according to an athlete's schedule, so she basically never stays up late.

"I still have to work."

"five minutes."

"Not even a minute."

"Hey!" Xixi simply locked his neck with both hands, wrapped her legs around his waist, and started to act like a spoiled child.

Zhou Xiaowen saw this and pretended not to notice: "Bring a high stool over here."

"When we shoot later, let Xiaozhi stand in front of the stool, and Xixi sit on it, pretending to carry him on her back."

Director Zhou turned around and glanced at Xiaozhi who was pounding his waist, thinking that the actors brought by these investors were really difficult to serve and there were a lot of things to do.

He is an old actor and debuted so early, but his acting skills and professionalism are not as good as Zhang Yuan.

Lao Zhou has also noticed in the past few days that the performances of several girls were average when acting opposite Lin Zhiying.

But Liu Qianqian, who had the worst acting skills in the whole group, made a lot of progress under Zhang Yuan's leadership.

The other leading actors also have a better relationship with Zhang Yuan and are happy to eat and drink with him after filming.

Unlike Lin Zhiying, who is always absent after work and often looks listless during the day.

Comparing the two, the gap is obvious.

There's nothing we can do about it. After all, I brought money into the group, so I just have to bear with it.

The essence of this scene is actually about Murong Fu showing off, the two protagonists peeping, and finally the Sword God Zhuo Bufan appearing, shocking all the immortals with one move, and then activating the "Face Fruit" to quell the dispute, which brings out the coolness of this character.

This is just to serve as a stepping stone for Xu Zhu to reach the maximum level in the Lingjiu Palace scenes later on.

Huang Julong, who had become close friends with Zhang Yuan after a fight, stood with a sword over his back, looking very imposing.

"Cut, all right, we're done for today, everyone go back and rest, we'll continue filming the fight scene tomorrow."

"Brother Long, you were so handsome just now. You really had the demeanor of a martial arts master." Zhang Yuan pulled the other party aside and praised him.

Huang Julong's eyes narrowed with joy.

[Received thanks from Huang Julong, basic marksmanship +1! ]

Through recent contacts, Zhang Yuan has gotten to know this old hand thoroughly.

Although he is quite old and has rich life experience, he is a complete martial arts fanatic.

As long as the compliment is related to martial arts, you can gain attributes in half of the cases.

"Let's go and have a drink." Huang Julong hooked his shoulder and said, "After you finish drinking, I will give you another set of drunken boxing."

"That's a good feeling."

The two of them walked towards the hotel.

Liu Qianqian felt very comfortable being carried on the back just now, and she wanted to act coquettishly and ask Zhang Yuan to carry her back to the hotel, but now Liu Xiaoli came to pick her up, so she had to give up.

After changing out of his costume and putting on casual clothes, he was just about to go out for a few drinks with Brother Long when his cell phone rang at a very inopportune time.

I picked it up and saw that the caller was Guo Degang, whom I hadn’t seen for more than a month…
