"I have starred in TV series such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and The Untold Story, and in some others I played supporting roles."

After the Internet Festival, Huang Shengyi was walking and chatting with Zhang Weiping on the way to the parking lot at the same time he was helpless and furious because the number Zhang Yuan gave him was invalid.

The reason why Zhang Yuan gave a fake number to Miss Huang was mainly because she had offended a group of people in the entertainment industry. At the same time, this woman now had a boyfriend.

Besides, Yang Zi is someone else's future husband, so it would be better for her to have less contact with him.

"Oh, oh..." Zhang Weiping nodded continuously.

At the award ceremony just now, Zhang Yuan was undoubtedly the most dazzling actor, so he specially sought out this popular young man to have a chat.

"As for movies, I have played major supporting roles in "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves" and "Initial D."

"There is a low-budget film called Crazy Stone, in which I also played a role, but it has not yet been released."

"There is also a movie called Qinghong, in which I co-starred and won the Jury Prize in the main competition unit at Cannes."

Zhang Weiping listened and felt that this young man had acted in quite a few plays.

And there are several well-known masterpieces.

"What a young talent." After hearing what he said, Zhang Weiping just happened to come to his car.

"Nice to meet you."

"Like this." Zhang Weiping sat in the back seat of the business car, then looked at him and said.

"I just happen to be in the early stages of preparing for a play. Please give me your phone number."

"You can come over and try out the role." The other party said casually.

Zhang Yuan was stunned and quickly gave his number.

Different from the treatment of Huang Shengyi, this time the one given is a real number.

Looking at the taillights of the other vehicle as it drove away, Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought.

"I'm so lucky..."

Zhang Yuan thought about it and decided that the movie that Zhang Weiping was preparing could only be a play.

"Curse of the Golden Flower"!
This is Zhang Yimou's annual masterpiece in the Chinese film industry.

"However, the other party just asked me to audition and did not guarantee anything."

Zhang Yuan asked Zhao Xinxin to take the trophy and go home with him.

He was thinking all the way, always feeling that something was wrong.

After returning home, taking a shower, and sitting on the bed thinking for a long time, I found a little clue.

"On the award ceremony stage just now, Zhang Weiping seemed quite enthusiastic towards Li Bingbing."

"Obviously, Huang Shengyi and the others are more interested in them than Cheng Hao."

"The only thing Li Bingbing and I have in common is Hua Yi..."

Zhang Yuan held his head with his hands and fell on the bed.

"Zhang Ziyi just accepted the role in The Banquet, which is Hua Yi's drama."

"And Zhang Ziyi is a Mou girl."

Zhang Yuan probably understood.

In Zhang Weiping's eyes, Zhang Ziyi is "his person". After all, from "My Father and Mother", "Hero", to "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Ziyi's success is inseparable from Zhang Weiping.

But Boss Zhang treats Zhang Yimou as his "personal property".

But Lao Mouzi likes women who are stubborn and strong.

But women like this are all very ambitious.

So was Gong Li, and so was Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Weiping felt that he could not control Gong Li, and was even more afraid of losing Lao Mouzi, his cash cow. It was this man who instigated both sides and broke up the couple Lao Mouzi and Gong Li.

After filming "Raise the Red Lantern" in 95, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li broke up completely.

One married in the country, and the other married in Singapore.

The two never worked together again, until... now!
In "Curse of the Golden Flower", Gong Li returned, but Zhang Ziyi left and never collaborated with Zhang Yimou again.

Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi had just finished working together on "Memoirs of a Geisha" in Hollywood.

Zhang Ziyi’s departure is closely related to Gong Li.

"Hua Yi robbed you of your man, so you want to save some face?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuan took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello?" A lazy female voice came from the speaker: "I've had some red wine and am going to sleep. What do you want from me so late at night?"

The person he contacted was Li Bingbing, whom he had just met at the party.

"Did Zhang Weiping talk to you privately just now?"

"Oh?" Li Bingbing immediately perked up after hearing what he said: "He also came to you?"

really!

“He asked me to audition for a movie.”

“Me too.” Li Bingbing replied, “But I refused.”

"It just so happened that the schedule was given to "Yun Shui Yao"."

"Besides, even if we go, there's a high chance that we won't get the role." Li Bingbing had clear thoughts and guessed that Zhang Weiping had set his sights on their Huayi identities.

"Well, you're right."

"So, you refused too."

"No, I'm going to audition."

After hearing his answer, Li Bingbing sat up directly from the bed.

"What did you say? You knew that the other party wanted to teach Huayi a lesson, but you still went?"

"Yes."

"You... okay, I understand." Li Bingbing has been with Sister Hua for so many years, and with the old fox Ren Quan by her side, she is naturally quick-witted.

"Interesting, the Wang brothers tricked him during the casting of The Banquet." Li Bingbing heard about Zhang Yuan getting the role back.

"Now he just wants to take this opportunity to let the Wang brothers know that it's not just Huayi who will ask him to make movies and blockbusters."

Li Bingbing rubbed the phone keys with his fingers: "Zhang Weiping wants to use him to put eye drops on Hua Yi."

"He just went with the flow and pretended to be taken advantage of."

She waved her arms: "This kid is really awesome!"

"I did something I dared not do!"

The Wang brothers used checks and balances on Shuang Bing. Although both of them said they were satisfied on the surface, they were always unhappy in their hearts.

But they didn't dare to confront the Wang brothers.

Now that Zhang Yuan had done what both she and Fan Bingbing wanted to do but did not dare to do, she suddenly felt that he was extremely bold and amazing at the same time.

"His brain is as good as Quan's, but he is more powerful than Quan."

She recalled that when Ren Quan learned that Zhang Yuan had gambled to obtain Huayi's shares, he was amazed and praised Zhang Yuan for his courage and determination.

There aren't many actors who can impress this close friend of his.

The next day, in the office of Imperial Capital New Picture Films.

"I don't agree!" Lao Mouzi shook his arms and refused angrily.

"Whether you agree or not, you have to consider the box office."

"He's just a singer and can't act. Why are you looking for him?"

"He has already starred in a movie and earned tens of millions at the box office," Zhang Weiping explained.

He is currently discussing the casting of the film with Zhang Yimou.

Boss Zhang insisted on having Jay Chou play the role of the second prince as a selling point for the film.

"With Jay Chou here, we can save at least tens of millions in publicity and promotion costs."

"He also promised to compose music for the film. Although the copyright belongs to him, we can use it for free."

"Out there, one of his songs can fetch several million. Do you think it's worth it to find him?"

"But he is not an actor!" Zhang Yimou still insisted.

"Whether they are actors or not, you can train them all. I believe in you." Zhang Weiping flattered Zhang Yimou to make him happy.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Mouzi said with a serious face: "If it is for the commercial performance of the film, I can tolerate it."

"But the role of the queen must go to Gong Li. I only recognize her for this role."

"Okay!" Although Zhang Weiping knew that this woman had a grudge against him, he compromised in order to get Jay Chou involved.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Boss Zhang said with a grin again.

"Yesterday I went to an online awards ceremony and met a very popular young actor."

"I've acted in a lot of movies and TV series."

"When he came on stage, wow, there was applause from the audience. He was especially popular among young people."

"The most important thing is that he looks good. I rarely see such a handsome actor."

"I want to invite this young man named Zhang Yuan to audition as a candidate for the title of Crown Prince."

"No!" Lao Mouzi got angry!

Just found a singer from Taiwan for me.

Now you found me another one who is famous on the Internet?

Good looking and popular?

What I need is a good actor with acting skills who can fit the role, not a star!
You are planning to sacrifice the artistry and integrity of my work for commercial considerations again, right?
The Zhang Yimou at this moment was not the Zhang Yimou who later made "The Great Wall" and "Man Jiang Hong".

At this time, he had high requirements for his works, had strong artistic pursuits, and was extremely serious and rigorous in his work.

He would eventually "break up" with Zhang Weiping. In addition to the most common financial conflicts, the other party also repeatedly interfered in his works, especially "Three Shots Surprise", which inserted the Zhao Clan into the film, which made him very annoyed.

Zhang Yimou has been fascinated by this story since he watched Blood Simple at the Cannes Film Festival in 85.

The remake project was finally approved, but due to Zhang Weiping's interference, a serious drama was turned into a weird two-person opera-style farce.

In the end, the two of them broke up completely because of this movie.

Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Zhang Weiping decided to use the same old trick again, flattering him and appeasing him.

He was planning to publish the news of Zhang Yuan's audition in the newspaper.

This guy is very popular, and his audition will increase the popularity of the film, which is equivalent to a wave of free publicity.

Zhang Weiping’s calculations were very precise.

It’s not clear whether to use it or not, let’s just generate some heat first.

Zhang Weiping has a typical businessman and producer mindset, similar to Big Beard.

But just as he was about to start persuading her, he saw Lao Mouzi cursing, his voice gradually getting quieter, and then the wrinkles on his face like an old farmer tightened, and he suddenly asked in confusion, "What's the name of the young actor you met at the Internet awards ceremony?"

"Zhang Yuan."

"Oh..." Lao Mouzi raised his eyes to the upper right corner, as if he was recalling something.

"I understand. Let him come."

"Let me make it clear first, this is just an audition. I have the final say on whether you want to use it or not."

Zhang Weiping:!!!

No...you reacted so strongly when Jay Chou was mentioned just now.

I persuaded you for a long time and even exchanged Gong Li's role with you before you finally agreed.

Why did you suddenly agree when you got to Zhang Yuan?

Although it's just an audition and not a confirmed role, you change your face so quickly!

He didn't know that Zhang Yuan had already met Zhang Yuan at the funeral of Mr. Fu Biao.

And he brought Gong Li with him that day, and the two had already been discussing the play.

And it was Mr. Fu Biao who collaborated with the two of them in their "breakup work", Rock on, Rock to Grandma's Bridge.

That day, when Mr. Fu Biao's widow distributed his treasured tissue-paper-wrapped Moutai to a group of old friends, Zhang Yuan also got a bottle.

Seeing that he was so young yet had obtained Fu Biao's relics, Lao Mouzi thought that there must be something special about him, so he became interested.

When I hear this name again now, I immediately recall the young man who was dressed in formal attire, solemn and dignified with a serious expression at the funeral that day.

I didn't feel it at the time, I just saw that this person had a calm and melancholy temperament.

Now that I think about it, he is somewhat similar to the eldest prince in my mind.

"Are you sure... you agree?" Zhang Weiping couldn't believe that this "stubborn donkey" actually agreed so easily.

"Let's wait and see." Zhang Yimou was also a little curious about Zhang Yuan.

The next day, Zhang Yuan received a call from Zhang Weiping.

"Okay, thank you. I will be there on time."

After putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers excitedly.

"Boss, what are you so happy about?" Assistant Zhao Xinxin asked puzzledly.

"Zhang Yimou's crew asked me to audition."

"Ah, Brother Zhang Yuan, are you going to act in Zhang Yimou's movie?"

"It's an audition, not a casting call," Zhang Yuan corrected.

"Then can you be selected?"

"Who knows? The chances are slim, but everything depends on human effort. What if?"

When Zhao Xunxun noticed that his tone was not as confident as usual, he knew that there was a high probability that this would not succeed.

"By the way, Sister Cheng Hao said that the car has been booked and the most expensive one has been reserved for you. Let me get the key later." Zhao Xunxun's face was full of excitement. He could finally use his driver's license!

"Okay, drive the new car carefully." Zhang Yuan said, "But don't be too nervous. If it's damaged, just fix it."

"Yeah!" Hong Lingbo smiled when he saw his boss was so generous.

"The maintenance fee will be deducted from your salary." Zhang Yuan added.

Zhao Xunxun: ...

After the audition news was confirmed, Zhang Yuan received a call from Liu Qianqian.

The other party on the phone chattered and told him that he had already bought movie tickets for "The Promise" and asked him to go out to see the movie.

"Are there surveillance cameras in movie theaters these days?" Zhang Yuan thought as he put down his phone.

He knew that cinemas in later generations would have cameras, and lots of them.

Whatever the couple does in the dark, the monitoring room can actually see it clearly.

"When we watch a movie, hug each other, kiss and touch each other, no one will find out, right?"

"Go early and check the place out first!" After Zhang Yuan made up his mind, he went out immediately.

After walking around the reserved cinema several times, Zhang Yuan clapped his hands.

"Damn it!"

“It’s not the right time!”

The "Technical Specifications for Security Engineering" updated by the country in 04 stipulates that cinemas must install cameras.

"I can't rub the meat buns...but for the dumplings, a few kisses should be fine." Zhang Yuan settled for the next best option.

Then, at the entrance of the cinema, Liu Xiaoli was seen arriving with her daughter.

Zhang Yuan: …

"I'd better touch my right hand with my left hand." Zhang Yuan greeted with a smile.

"I'll go get some drinks and popcorn."

"I don't drink sugar water." Aunt Liu waved her hand to refuse.

"What about you?" Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Qianqian again.

Xiaolongnu took out a bottle of Wahaha from her left trouser pocket, took out a straw from her right trouser pocket and inserted it.

"Okay, go ahead and suck it." Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly: "By the way, I also brought some Fengyoujing."

He pulled a small bottle from his pocket.

"Fengyoujing?"

"It's winter now, why are you bringing this?" Liu Xiaoli was puzzled.

"You'll find out soon."

The three of them entered the theater, and Liu Xiaoli sat in the middle of the two of them...

Zhang Yuan didn't even dare to reach out his hand so as not to easily touch Liu Xiaoli.

Two hours later, the three of them walked out of the cinema together, all with confused looks on their faces.

Not only that, the philtrum and temples of the three of them are emerald green.

It's applied with essential oil!

Without the Fengyoujing to refresh myself, I really can’t last more than these two hours.

[Received thanks from Liu Xiaoli, dance basics +1! ]

[Received thanks from Liu Xixi, anti-aging +1! ]

"They spent 300 million to make a thing like this, and I don't even understand it?" Aunt Liu is a very patient person, but she couldn't help but complain.

"Yes, yes..." Liu Qianqian responded to her mother and breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, it turns out I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand.

Knowing that everyone is confused, I feel relieved.

"Zhang Yuan." Liu Qianqian turned to look at him: "I'm sorry for asking you to watch this movie with me."

Seeing that Xiaolongnu had apologized to her after seeing it, you can imagine how damaging this thing was to her mind when she just came of age.

"You're in a bad mood. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow as compensation." Liu Qianqian said with her hands behind her back and her chin raised.

Yo ho!

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He is much smarter than before and will find excuses to hang out with me.

"I will definitely go if you treat me, but I can't go tomorrow because I have to go to the crew for an audition," Zhang Yuan replied.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli, who was rubbing her eyebrows, immediately pricked up her ears.

"Is it the movie 'The Banquet'?" Sissi had heard of this movie.

"No, I've already been cast as the second male lead in that drama. It's Zhang Yimou's new film."

Liu Xiaoli was shocked.

He had just gotten an important role from Feng Xiaogang, and then got an audition from another big director.

These two are the three most powerful directors in China... No, two directors.

After watching "The Promise", Liu Xiaoli has already kicked Chen Shishi out of the ranks of China's top directors in her mind.

"Wow, you're so awesome!" Liu Qianqian's eyes sparkled and she looked at him with a smile.

"It's just an audition. It's hard to find a film directed by a top director like this."

"You can do it." Liu Qianqian clenched her fist to encourage him: "The Return of the Condor Heroes was also difficult before, but you managed to do it."

"That time was a little different, but... I'll lend you my good words."

"Oh, by the way, I remember you said you knew Wang Fei." Liu Qianqian looked at him expectantly: "I like her songs the most."

"And I recently started taking voice lessons again."

"Can you take me to see her? It would be great if she could give me some pointers."

Even celebrities have idols.

Just like Liu Xixi in later generations, she will become a star in the hearts of many young stars.

But let Wang Fei teach you...

The talent gap between Lao Wang and Liu Qianqian is too huge, there's absolutely no way to do it.

"No, her family has been very strict recently and doesn't allow her to see outsiders." Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "She's pregnant."

"Whose?" Liu Qianqian asked in her heart.

Zhang Yuan: …

It can't be mine.

Who else could it be but Li Yapeng? His second half of life depends on this.

"Let's talk about it later when we have a chance." Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that Lao Wang would be very busy in the future. After all, the baby in her belly was a cause of worry and it was quite miserable.

He thought about whether he should remind the other party.

But what to say about this?
Moreover, with Lao Wang's family background and status, she had received thorough prenatal checkups at the best hospitals and knew that the child had this problem in the second half of the pregnancy.

But she still insisted on giving birth.

All I can say is that Lao Wang’s temperament is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

It was just like even though I reminded Li Xiaoran, but she still forgave that "best friend".

Everyone has his own destiny, which is not something one can control.

After saying goodbye to the Liu family mother and daughter, Zhang Yuan rested for a night, and the next day, he rushed to the No. 2 Studio of the Beijing Film Studio... (End of this chapter)
