In the large conference room of a five-star hotel in the imperial capital.

Yuan Hepin and his two senior brothers and sisters Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua came to Zhang Yuan's side.

In addition to these three, not far away, Shi Xingyu, who played Kuliqiang, also had a strange look on his face and looked at Zhang Yuan quietly.

Zhang Zhenyong naturally told his fellow brothers what had happened on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Everyone knows that three people make a tiger, and once the words are passed around, they will gradually become distorted.

From the beginning, it was said that Zhang Yuan fought against more than a dozen students without hesitation and was injured. Later, it was said that he was unscathed and killed nearly a hundred people with his bare hands.

The Bloody Hand Slayer is him...

It was passed on to the back and finally reached the ears of Shi Xingyu.

He was originally very angry and ashamed because he was knocked unconscious by Zhang Yuan on the set of "Kung Fu". He even went back to the mountains to rebuild himself, planning to find Zhang Yuan for a fight and take revenge when he had time.

Now he feels good to be alive...

I was knocked unconscious last time. If the rumors are true, I will be dead if it happens again!

Shi Xingyu recalled that Zhao Zhilin told him at that time that the other party was holding back.

Now that I think about it, what he said is true.

Therefore, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Yuan.

"How did this kid train?"

"He's obviously younger than me, and I've never heard of him worshipping under that mountain. How can he be so powerful?"

Yuan Heping and his friends probably heard about this and came to find him.

"Time?" Zhang Yuan quickly reacted when the other party sent a greeting. Mr. Ba asked me if I had time, which definitely didn't mean he wanted to have dinner with me.

That must mean there's a movie to be filmed!
But after he thought about it, he realized that his schedule was really tight.

This one hasn't been finished filming yet, and there are already two left waiting.

"I should be very busy in the second half of the year," Zhang Yuan said as he recalled.

"But if Master Ba needs it, I can adjust it at any time."

Hey!
Yuan Hepin glanced at Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua, and thought that it was more comfortable to listen to this kid talk.

"That's good."

"It's not a big deal, actually. I have a play coming up and I'd like you to play a small cameo role." Mr. Ba said with a smile.

Playing a small guest role... Zhang Yuan thought to himself that he was now somewhat famous.

Mr. Ba is also a prominent figure, it is impossible for him to be asked to make a cameo appearance in a bad movie.

Since this is being discussed in such a public setting, it must be no small feat.

Zhang Yuan made a rough guess and felt that the probability of it being a good thing was greater, so he spoke.

"When Master Ba asks, I'll be there whenever you call me. No problem."

"Okay, okay... No, you don't even ask what movie it is?" Yuan Hepin finally reacted.

"Your film must be a good one, no need to ask."

"Heh..." Master Ba glanced at his two fellow brothers and sisters, thinking that what his eldest brother said was true.

The eldest brother is Yuan Long, also known as Sammo Hung, the leader of the Seven Little Fortunes.

During the New Year's dinner, Sammo Hung specifically mentioned that Zhang Yuan had come to visit him after he and Stephen Chow had a falling out.

I told the other brothers and sisters that it was rare for young people to know the rules and I would take care of them when I had the chance in the future.

In addition, Mr. Ba saw that he performed well on the Kung Fu set and was really good at fighting, so he made this invitation.

“Hahahaha… Actually it doesn’t take a long time.”

"It's like this. I have a movie coming up soon. My friend will be in charge of the drama and I will be in charge of the fighting scenes, which are kung fu movies, which I am good at."

"The movie is called Huo Yuanjia!"

When Zhang Yuan heard the name, he was delighted, as he had guessed correctly.

"The male lead for this movie is Li Lianjie. There's a role that will involve a fight scene with him. I'd like to ask you to play it."

"Oh……"

Zhang Yuan understood now.

In "Huo Yuanjia", not only is Li Lianjie the leading male role, he is also the producer!

After working abroad for a few years, Lao Li also started to follow the Hollywood producer and director responsibility system.

Just like the producer of "Fast and Furious" is the leading actor Vin Diesel, Hollywood's big stars have a huge influence on the crew.

Moreover, at this point in time, and even for a long time in the future, Lao Li is the highest-paid Chinese actor, no doubt about it.

When filming "The Untold Story", his salary had already reached 10 million US dollars.

Jackie Chan's pay is not as high as his, but Jackie Chan always participates in the investment and gets dividends when making movies in Hollywood. Many times he gets very little pay or even no pay, but the amount of dividends can reach 20 to 30 million US dollars.

So, in terms of film pay, Li Lianjie has higher pay, and in terms of income, Jackie Chan has higher pay.

This is also related to the paths the two men have taken. Li Lianjie is an actor, while Jackie Chan is an actor plus director, martial arts director, producer, and investor... After doing all these jobs, he can still party every night.

This person is born with extremely abundant energy and always has endless energy.

Look, in addition to Mr. Ba, the director of the literary drama in "Huo Yuanjia" is Yuen Woo-ping, who is also a Hong Konger.

He made his fortune in Hong Kong by shooting horror films in his early years. His most famous work is the version of "The Bride with White Hair" starring Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin, which also stars Lan Yingjie.

Later, like Mr. Ba, he went to Hollywood in the 1990s.

Audiences who are familiar with overseas CULT films should know him. "Bride of Child's Play" and "Freddy vs. Jason" are both his works. Although the genres are niche, they have both made good profits.

But how could a guy who made horror movies suddenly come back to make kung fu movies?
Well, this brings us to another big name in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

This man named Jiang Zhiqiang is an extremely famous producer in Hong Kong.

The strength of this person lies in the fact that he controls the distribution channels of Chinese films in major overseas regions.

This person is very good at dealing with external parties and has extensive network of contacts.

Yu Rentai also has a good relationship with Universal Pictures, and it was Universal that invited him to go overseas to make movies.

So although "Huo Yuanjia" is a kung fu film, its main battlefield is not in the domestic market, but in the overseas market.

With Jiang Zhiqiang, a big man who controls overseas channels, Yuen Woo-ping, a director who works in Hollywood, Yuan Hepin, a martial arts director who works in Hollywood, and Li Lianjie, the male lead who has worked in Hollywood, the goal of the film is actually very clear.

Being able to have a role in this film, and a role that can compete with Lao Li, is indeed an opportunity, and at least it can pave the way for opening up overseas markets.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that he had agreed quickly and that he had not suffered any loss.

"I heard that your net worth has increased rapidly recently." Mr. Ba said with a smile.

How could Zhang Yuan not understand what he meant? He was asking about remuneration.

This kind of guest role usually only gives you a small amount of money, not much.

He thought that he was not lacking in this aspect, so he might as well do the favor and give face to the Eighth Master.

"It doesn't matter if you are worth anything or not. It's good enough to be able to go to a big crew and learn a little bit."

"Well, it's good for young people to have this attitude."

Just as he finished speaking, a powerful voice came from behind him.

Yang Buting, who had just talked about Zhang Yuan with Stephen Chow, walked over and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

Why is he so happy?

Because he is also the producer of "Huo Yuanjia"!
Otherwise, how could Mr. Yuan Ba ​​talk about other films so openly in this occasion.

In addition to being linked with the Radio, Film and Television Corporation, China Film Corporation is also affiliated with the China Film Overseas Promotion Company.

Since the film is to be promoted overseas, overseas channel bosses like Jiang Zhiqiang are indispensable, so it is reasonable for Yang Buting to participate in this film.

There are only a few high-ranking people in the Chinese film and television industry. They all eat at the same table and make money together.

"Did you make up the scene of 'slashing people' on stage just now?" Yang Buting looked at him with a smile.

"I just improvised, not put it on stage." He replied modestly.

"I think it's good. You're quick to react." Yang Buting had rarely been to the set of "Kung Fu", and this was the first time he knew that there was a number one person in the crew.

"Your name sounds familiar to me." He looked at her curiously several times, feeling that he had heard this name somewhere before.

"Oh!" After being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly clapped his hands.

"The one who had an incident on the set that caused both the Film Association and the Chinese Music Association to issue a notice, were you?"

"Hehe, it's me, it's me." Zhang Yuan scratched his head shyly.

Several people from Hong Kong around were very embarrassed. After all, because of this incident, the Hong Kong film and television industry suffered a full-scale attack from the mainland gang headed by the Imperial Circle, and they haven't recovered yet.

"Not bad, not bad." Yang Buting looked at him and his smile became even wider.

[Received thanks from Yang Buting, leadership qualities +1! ]

why?

Because ever since Zhang Yuan got into this incident, people in the Hong Kong circle have become much more polite when talking to Lao Yang.

This is the effect of taking advantage of the opportunity to strike.

Seeing that he was quick to react, polite in speech and quite capable of handling things, Lao Yang was willing to make a free cameo appearance in "Huo Yuanjia". Of course he was happy to see that.

Wang Zhonglei on the side cheered secretly in his heart.

What did I say!

My brother also said that choosing Huang Xiaoming would be a safer option.

Putting aside his professional ability, Zhang Yuan is much better than Huang Xiaoming in terms of public affairs! Look, he was able to leave a deep impression on Lao Yang the first time they met, which Huang Xiaoming could never do.

China Film Corporation is an organization that Xiao Wang has to treat politely and try to please. Seeing that Zhang Yuan can talk to Yang Buting, Xiao Wang naturally has a better impression of him.

Zhang Yuan also knew that when investing in TV dramas, especially movies, China Film Group and China Radio, Film and Television were two huge mountains that he could not jump over. Without some personal connections, they would not only make things difficult for him, but would also kill him just by ignoring him.

I chatted with Yang Buting, Wang Zhonglei, Master Xing and Master Ba for a long time, and the other actors all cast envious glances at me.

After all, this was a chat among a bunch of big guys, and Zhang Yuan was still able to talk and laugh.

The other actors could just go up and say hello, and then they would know what to do and quickly move aside.

"Have a good trip."

"See you next time!"

After the dinner, everyone said goodbye to each other and left.

"I look forward to your performance in 'Huo Yuanjia'." Old Yang said to him with a smile before leaving.

"Look at how many roles Mr. Ba has arranged for me."

"Did you hear that? You're asking me for a role, hahaha..."

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after these big guys finally left.

"It's finally done."

"Zhang Yuan..."

He was just about to find a place to rest when he heard a female voice with a drawn-out tone coming from behind him.

It was obvious that behind this voice was a woman in a bad mood.

In the entire "Kung Fu" crew, there are only a few women with names and surnames.

If it’s not Yuan Qiu, then the only one left is Huang Shengyi.

Hiss...Zhang Yuan took a breath of cold air.

I was on the set at the time, and he just left after I slept with him, without even leaving a phone number.

Calling me now with this attitude, it must be something bad.

How to do?
This woman is not a gentle and good-tempered person. It’s not worth it for her to slap me in the face.

When I returned to the crew, there was a slap mark on my face from a woman. How was I going to explain it?

Take off smart!
Today I'm going to show off my skills and let this woman know what it means to be like Zhu Bajie turning around and blaming others for what he did!
Zhang Yuan adjusted his expression, his eyebrows were sharp, and he turned around with an angry face.

"Miss Huang!"

"long time no see!"

"Huh?" Huang Shengyi, who wanted to question the other party, was stunned by his expression.

No...it was me who was slept with for nothing, why does he look even angrier than me?
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?" Not only did Zhang Yuan not run away, he also strode up to him.

"I wait day and night, just waiting for you to call me!"

"But the day and the night can't wait, which makes me suffer from insomnia every day!"

"I didn't expect you to take me for who I am."

"Bedmate?"

"I thought you were a person who took relationships seriously!"

Huang Shengyi was stunned and shook his head.

“That seems to be my word…”

"I……"

"You don't have to say anything more. I'm very disappointed in you and I don't want to see you again." While Zhang Yuan scolded loudly, he raised his head with red eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Have you really been waiting for my call?" Huang Shengyi was also confused and asked back.

"I didn't even dare turn off my phone, for fear of missing it!" Zhang Yuan said, and took a deep breath, as if he was afraid that tears of grievance would burst out.

Has he really been waiting for my call?
Looking at this, this excited attitude doesn't seem like a lie.

Huang Shengyi felt a little soft-hearted when he saw him like this.

My heart softened and the anger that had been suppressed for several months was temporarily suppressed.

She is just like many fairies, she just wants an attitude!

Seeing that Zhang Yuan looked even more miserable than her, she immediately felt much better.

At the same time, doubts arose.

"Did I really misunderstand him?"

Let’s just say this guy’s intelligence is not that good. If it were Cheng Hao, he would be grabbing Zhang Yuan’s ears and scolding him.

"Actually, I have a lot to say to you." Huang Shengyi's eyebrows softened.

"Me too, but there are too many people here and it's not convenient." Zhang Yuan wanted to take the opportunity to slip away.

Stop talking. If she figures out what’s going on, you’ll be in trouble!
"Well, it's not very convenient... How about we go to the room and talk?"

The press conference was held in a five-star hotel, and the thing that was most in short supply here was rooms.

"Ah?" Zhang Yuan was stunned.

This is not good... At first, he refused.

Five minutes later, the two arrived at a suite on the top floor.

"What are you going to do?"

As soon as he entered the room, Huang Shengyi saw Zhang Yuan pick up his bathrobe and walk into the bathroom.

"We are here to have a good chat, not..."

"I respect you very much." Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained, "So I think I should bathe and burn incense before chatting with you, just like before going to the temple to worship Buddha, to show respect."

Huang Shengyi:......

"Do you want to wash?" Zhang Yuan asked, turning around.

"I...I don't want to wash anymore."

"You do not respect me?"

Huang Shengyi:......

"Let's take a bath, burn incense, and chat early to improve efficiency." As he said that, Zhang Yuan pulled her into the bathroom.

"Hey, don't get it wet, this is a borrowed dress."

"Don't break it...Okay, okay, I'll take it off myself..."

"Let go first, I'll wash it myself..."

Pa pa pa...the hot water hits the skin, making crisp slapping sounds.

The heat gradually rose in the bathroom, blurring the clear and transparent glass of the shower room. Now only two moving figures could be vaguely seen.

to chat with?

Mr. Hou is still learning English.

And the prerequisite for chatting is to use your mouth.

Miss Huang's mouth is too busy to talk.

Zhang Yuan calculated how far it was from the bathroom to the double bed with a high-quality mattress. It was twenty-seven steps... no, twenty-seven steps.

A few hours later, Zhang Yuan pushed Huang Shengyi, who was lying on his side with his limbs scattered.

"Come on, let's chat."

Huang Shengyi:......

Miss Huang didn't even have the strength to lift her eyelids at this moment. Her whole body sank limply into the quilt, and she fell into a deep sleep.

"Look, she said she would chat, but now she's not chatting anymore. Women really don't keep their word."

Zhang Yuan glanced at his phone and saw that it was almost time, so he got up, packed up, and headed to the airport to catch the flight back to Zhejiang.

It was not until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night that Miss Huang recovered and woke up from her sleep.

When she got up from the bed, she felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She had difficulty walking and she limped.

"Zhang Yuan?"

She called out, then frowned and looked around the room.

Not only was there no one, there wasn't even any clothes or shoes.

She felt strange, so she picked up her phone and wanted to call to ask.

After looking through the address book, she found out.

“I still don’t have his number!”

Miss Huang felt that this scene seemed very familiar, as it had happened once before.

Oh, no, it’s even more infuriating than last time.

"Damn it, I paid for the room!"

"Before I was just getting something for free, but now I'm losing money!"

"Zhang Yuan, I%%#@%&*..."

Amid her curses, Zhang Yuan took a car back to the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes. (End of this chapter)
