"Come on, let's have a drink!"

After the meeting, Feng Xiaogang led a group of main creators to a large restaurant near Huayi and booked a private room.

Communicate your feelings in advance before filming begins, and it’s best to get drunk together. This is equivalent to lubricating the crew life in advance to avoid friction due to unfamiliarity between actors.

Teacher Ma Jingwu is not young anymore and doesn't like drinking parties, so he left early, while the rest of the people attending the study session stayed.

Everyone was eating and chatting.

Zhang Yuan was surprised to find that among the people at this table, the only one who did not smoke was Zhang Ziyi, who often smoked in movies.

But the one who was most relaxed at the dinner table was Zhou Xun, who usually appears in films with a pure image.

As an actor, the contrast between real life and work is really huge.

Moreover, after dining at the same table with Zhou Xun, Zhang Yuan discovered that this man had a bad throat, which might not just be caused by smoking.

In addition to smoking, he also drinks a lot of white wine. His ability to eat spicy food is also amazing.

Zhang Yuan remembered that this person was from Zhejiang. People in the Yangtze River Delta region should generally have a poor ability to tolerate spicy food.

After some inquiries, I found out that her hometown is Quzhou, a rare place in the Yangtze River Delta.

The spicy dishes here can rival those from Sichuan and the two lakes!
He smokes, drinks, and eats spicy food, and his private image is like that of an old man.

"By the way, how is the movie you invested in going?" After having a drink with Director Feng, the other party asked about this.

"It's OK. It's finished." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

This immediately caught the attention of everyone present.

He also invests in movies himself?
We are all actors, and the people we need to make friends with the most are the film and television investors.

After all, you have to rely on others for your livelihood.

"What movie?" Zhou Xun, who was holding a cigarette in his left hand and a glass of wine in his right hand, looked almost the same as Brother Qian except that he didn't have a perm on his hair, asked with wide eyes.

"It's a low-budget film, and it can't compare to Director Feng's films..."

Zhang Yuan gave a detailed introduction.

Everyone noticed that the names of the director and actors were rarely heard of, so it seemed to be a low-budget film.

Zhou Xun immediately lost interest, and his expression became obviously colder as he was worried.

International Zhang was different. She raised her glass and clinked it with Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Ziyi glanced at Zhou Xun, thinking that this guy didn't seem very smart.

"You are so young, yet you can invest in and participate in the production of a movie yourself. This is already very remarkable. I respect you."

Zhang Yuan drank it all in one gulp, thinking that other people are doing better than him.

Among the current Chinese female stars, besides Gong Li, she is the only one.

Not only is he capable, but his EQ is also much higher than Brother Xun's.

Zhang Yuan remembered that in a certain program in later generations, Zhou Xun once said that the boys in rock bands were very simple.

She wasn't being sarcastic, she really meant it.

The other guest, Da Zhangwei, who used to be in a band, covered his mouth and trembled, almost laughing out loud.

The innocence of being in a band... Yeah, these guys are quite innocent, they are like a human being grown from hormones, and their bodies are driven entirely by desire and instinct.

And Zhou Xun likes this kind of people.

Mr. Zhou is a well-known "good guy" in the rock circle of the imperial capital.

So in essence, this girl is actually a spiritual girl.

Of course, international star Zhang Ziyi also married the rock star in the end, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

"Let me tell you, making movies is fucked up!" After drinking too much, Feng Xiaogang turned on his Feng Cannon mode again.

"I have to look at the faces of investors every day. If I lose money, I will be scolded. If I make money, most of the money goes to others."

"So you have to have a good attitude." Feng Xiaogang was still trying to persuade him: "So if you lose money, don't get angry, understand?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, but was thinking in his heart.

My "Crazy Stone" will definitely not be a loss, but I can't say for your "Night Banquet".

Zhang Yuan did not have any psychological pressure. He only got 2 million yuan in salary and did not get any share of the box office revenue. Whether the movie sold well or not had no direct connection with his income.

Speaking of which, his pay for this film is neither high nor low.

You know, the lead actress Zhang Ziyi's pay was also two million, but it was in US dollars.

What is an international chapter?

Zhang Yuan's pay was only a few hundred thousand more than Huang Xiaoming's, which was actually very low.

After all, he cannot be completely considered Huayi's person, so the Wang brothers certainly won't give him much.

But what he cares about is not the pay. After all, any endorsement he takes now will earn him more than this amount.

What he wants is to appear in the annual blockbuster to maintain his popularity.

Zhang Yuan was chatting with everyone quite lively, and Huang Xiaoming on the side felt a little uncomfortable.

Both Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi were more enthusiastic towards Zhang Yuan than he was.

This person also wanted to show off, so he clinked glasses with everyone everywhere.

After feeling that he had gotten into the mood, he sat next to Zhang Yuan.

"Come on, we met at the Internet Festival before, how about we have a few drinks?"

Seeing his blushing face, Zhang Yuan advised, "Brother Xiaoming, drink in moderation."

"how!"

It would be fine if you didn't say it, but once you say it, this guy gets excited.

"I'm a Shandong man. We Shandong people can't live without drinking. Come on!" The man patted his chest and raised his glass.

"Okay..." Zhang Yuan thought to himself, why is this guy trying to hit my strong point?

Huang Xiaoming held on to him and wouldn't let go. In less than an hour, both of them had finished their drinks.

Seeing that Huang Xiaoming's tongue was getting bigger, but he still pulled Zhang Yuan to continue, the others also began to persuade him.

Just then, Huang Xiaoming's cell phone suddenly rang.

The man's movements were exaggerated, and he was obviously unable to control his body due to the influence of alcohol. He swayed back and forth. He finally reached his hand into his pocket, took out his cell phone, and answered it.

"Hey!"

"Hey……"

"it is good."

"no problem!"

As he listened, he began to smile, and his eyes lit up.

After he finished talking for a while and hung up the phone, International Chapter asked.

"You're smiling so happily, is there something good?"

"Producer Li from Tianzhong called me and said that a new movie was about to start shooting and asked me to go for an audition!" Huang Xiaoming showed his signature smile.

"Tianzhong Film...Li Mi?" Zhang Ziyi thought about it.

"Yes, it's this beautiful producer."

Zhang Yuan also realized that Li Mi was behind both the dramas "The Monkey King" and "Young Zhang Sanfeng".

This old lady is said to be a beauty... but actually, that's not the case.

But with the prefix "producer", it is indeed considered beautiful in this industry.

Especially when compared with the bearded man who is also a producer, everyone who sees him has to say that he has a very handsome appearance.

This girl is young and has strong personal abilities, but the reason she can become a producer is mainly due to the support of her father, who is quite famous in the southern entertainment market.

This person is very good at pleasing others and rarely creates original works.

Most of the TV series she starred in are remakes of classics.

As for the film that asked Huang Xiaoming to audition... Zhang Yuan already had an idea in mind.

"Guess what movie it is? Here's a hint. It's a new version of a classic TV series set in Shanghai!"

Everyone started chattering and guessing, treating it as a drinking game.

"wrong."

"wrong!"

"It's still not right..."

After everyone guessed the answer, Huang Xiaoming revealed it himself with a proud look on his face.

"It's Chow Yun Fat's The Bund!"

“Hehehe, I just asked Producer Li, and among the people they are looking for now, I have the strongest ability, so there is great hope!”

Brother Xiao Ming is usually very humble, but now he is drunk and his voice is much louder, which is completely different from his usual personality.

"Congratulations!"

"Good luck."

Everyone congratulated him.

"Fat Brother is my idol, a representative of both virtue and talent."

Zhang Yuan snorted and said, "You haven't seen his style. He may not be both virtuous and talented."

"If I can take over his classic role, I will have fulfilled my dream."

Losing Yang Guo has made him extremely depressed to this day.

But if I can get the role of Xu Wenqiang, which has a high probability of becoming a hit, it will be considered as compensation from God!
This phone call cleared up the gloom in Huang Xiaoming's heart, and he drank another glass in one gulp, feeling refreshed!
drop by drop...

Just when he was happy, Zhang Yuan's cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone, then frowned and looked at Master Huang beside him.

"Hey, I am..."

"Correct."

"Okay, I'll think about it..."

Zhang Yuan smacked his lips a few times and then put down his phone.

"What's wrong?" International Zhang asked again.

"Nothing... I also received an audition call." "Hahaha, it can't be the same as Xiao Ming, where all the calls were from Li Mi." Zhou Xun said casually with a big laugh.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded helplessly.

Huang Xiaoming: ...

Everyone present stared at each other in amazement.

Everyone knows that Zhang Yuan squeezed out Huang Xiaoming's role of Yang Guo.

He also relied on his own abilities to surpass the other party in the role ranking of "Night Banquet".

Nowadays, he is more popular on the Internet than Xiao Ming.

Now I have received an audition invitation from the same crew...

Zhang Ziyi is very smart.

"Just now, when Xiao Ming received the call, he was as happy as a dog that saw a bone and quickly agreed."

"But Zhang Yuan's reply was to consider it."

"There is a clear difference in mentality between the two."

"Xiao Ming is scrambling for the role, but Zhang Yuan is trying to hook the other person."

Zhang Ziyi glanced at Zhang Yuan and felt that he already had the demeanor of a big shot.

In fact, Zhang Yuan is not playing big shot.

But he knew that the director of this film was Gao Xixi.

This "master" later created the "New Three Kingdoms".

"The entire army is charging at the Shu army camp, aiming for Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled carriage..."

Zhang Yuan will never forget such explosive lines in his life. It’s okay to grab a wheelchair.

He was very skeptical about Director Gao's ability, so he was a little hesitant.

Huang Xiaoming was stunned and stood there motionless.

I'm still here showing off...

How to kill someone in the most painful way?
No intention to finish off!

Seeing that his words had come true, Zhou Xun tried to make amends and said.

"Xiao Ming, even if you audition with Zhang Yuan, you still have a chance... although it's not much."

Zhang Yuan: What nonsense are you talking about!

Although not much... Huang Xiaoming looked at Zhou Xun angrily when he heard this, but found that after Mr. Zhou finished speaking, the others nodded slightly.

"accepted".

Everyone felt that in terms of image and temperament, Zhang Yuan was obviously more suitable for the role of Xu Wenqiang.

Hipster, romantic, and cool... these are the labels that come with the character Xu Wenqiang portrayed by Chow Yun-fat.

Zhang Yuan is obviously more suitable in terms of appearance.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan is almost ten centimeters taller than Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming has always said that he is 180cm tall, but he was dressed casually for the meeting today, unlike the underwear he usually wears when attending events. Everyone can see that he is at most 175cm tall.

Puff puff puff... Huang Xiaoming felt like everyone was not nodding, but stabbing him in the chest.

"Yang Guo snatched it."

"The first place in the online vote was snatched."

"Now they are even trying to snatch Xu Wenqiang?"

"You're not going to give me a way to live!"

Huang Xiaoming suddenly felt that the shadow of Zhang Yuan above his head was getting lower and lower. He had just drunk so much that his mood was bad and the alcohol took effect instantly.

The man suddenly felt dizzy.

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that he himself felt that if they were to compete on the same stage, the chances of him defeating Zhang Yuan and getting the role were not high.

Not only did others admit it, but even I admitted it...

After realizing his own timidity, he could not hold it in any longer and quickly stood up and went straight to the toilet.

But after taking only two steps, he vomited with a "wow" sound, and the urine was all over the floor.

Huang Xiaoming felt that he had embarrassed himself greatly, but Zhou Xun was still trying to make the final move.

"People from Shandong don't drink much..."

puff!
"And were you scared to the point of vomiting by Zhang Yuan?"

puff!
Zhang Yuan covered his face.

I thought to myself, Brother Xun, please stop talking nonsense!

Besides, Brother Xiao Ming will die here.

He quickly got up and helped Huang Xiaoming to the bathroom to clean up.

Huang Xiaoming was too embarrassed to go back to the private room, and with a pale face he asked his assistant to take him home.

The private room was also dirty, so everyone stopped and got up to go back.

After going out, Zhang Yuan was surprised to find that Zhang Ziyi waved at him.

"Let's go together. I have something to tell you."

He didn't know what the other party wanted, but he didn't refuse.

"Although this is the first time we meet today, I've actually heard of you a long time ago?"

"Have you heard my story?" Zhang Yuan turned around and asked.

“Hehehe…” Zhang Ziyi replied with a smile: “A few days ago, several sisters from Class 96 of the Central Academy of Drama had dinner together.”

"Both Yuan Quan and Zeng Li praised you."

Zhang Yuan: …

When Zhang Yuan heard the other party put emphasis on the word "夸", he knew that something bad was going to happen.

"What exactly did you praise..." he asked carefully.

"Praise your good health."

What did I say... Zhang Yuan scratched his head in confusion.

He thought about it and decided that these words definitely weren't said by Zeng Li. It was most likely Teacher Yuan Quan who told me about it.

Zhang Ziyi, Zeng Li, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu and Hu Jing were all present at the dinner that day.

After talking about their respective love lives, Zeng Li's face was full of bitterness. She said that she met a young man who was a good person, but they were not destined to be together.

When they checked the accounts, the drunk teacher Yuan Quan immediately jumped out.

"It's him!"

The other people immediately became excited when they discovered they had an unexpected gain.

"He's good, talented, capable, and physically fit."

Zhang Yuan guessed correctly, this was what Sister Quan said.

When women, especially mature women, get together, they talk about more sexy topics than men.

Hearing that both classmates said it was good and it was the same person, these old ladies got excited and started to have an in-depth discussion on the topic of good health.

"Is it better technique or better physique?"

"all good!"

"Hoo ho ho..."

"Besides, he's not like those who run away after sleeping. He's quite gentle."

A world where only Huang Shengyi was injured...

"The key is that he is usually very literary, but once he goes to bed, he becomes a beast." Teacher Yuan Quan "praised".

These women all have boyfriends, but they also have a lot of fun in private.

Zeng Li and Qin Hailu are the better ones, the rest three are all just wasteful.

"Pear, is he like this?"

Zeng Li nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hehehehe..."

"It's amazing that our Dali recognized it."

"You like him quite a bit, is it because it's cool?"

"No... not entirely." Zeng Li said, then changed her words.

"Why do you all care so much about this? It's tiring to be busy all night."

Every woman is different. Dalizi has a calm personality and is less interested in this aspect.

"Ah, all night, non-stop?"

Several women turned to look at Yuan Quan.

Teacher Yuan Quan smiled and gave a thumbs up, giving a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, if I have a chance I would like to meet this person in person!" Zhang Ziyi said with a laugh at that time.

Well, you'll see it today!
Just like that, without Zhang Yuan's knowledge, his name had already spread among the famous 96 star class of the Central Academy of Drama in the history of Chinese films.

Zhang Yuan felt like he was on edge as he listened to Zhang Ziyi talking and laughing all the way.

"Sister Quan, why do you tell everyone everything?"

“Can these technical details be disclosed?”

"It seems like we need to find a time to shut her up."

Zhang Ziyi also drank a lot and became more and more excited as she talked.

Finally he turned around and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm looking forward to working with you on the crew in the next few months." Zhang Ziyi said, licking her lips.

Zhang Yuan's heart trembled.

Are you sure you're looking forward to working together?
