The TV station leaders came to Xiangshan Film and Television City on the last weekend of January.
Yang Guo, Xiao Longnv, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Guo Fu and other leading actors attended the dinner that night.
And Zhang Yuanjun also knew how he chose Yang Guo that night.
In fact, his father didn't really support his acting. What he wanted most was to go home, either to take over the family business - the eldest and second child had no interest in opening a restaurant for catering, or to find a solid job in his hometown, under the guidance of his parents. Be filial.
However, because of his deep love for Ladu, his father still worked for him and used a huge favor to get him the role of Yang Guo.
Zhang Yuanjun was not a fool. He immediately thought that the money to buy Guihai Yi Dao was probably obtained by his eldest brother from his father.
Zhang Yuanjun's identity can no longer be concealed from the crew. From "The Best in the World" to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", rumors about him buying roles have never stopped.
This time the leaders of Singapore Media Media came to visit the class, which confirmed his reputation as a rich man.
Zhang Yuanjun finally no longer felt that he defeated Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan through strength.
After acting until now, I suddenly found out the truth, which really dampened my enthusiasm.
It was Liu Yifei who was teasing him: "I know your family is rich, but I didn't expect that your family is so rich, and all the connections lead to Singapore." After that, she comforted him in turn: "The acting is quite good. In the past few months, no matter who is on the crew, I’m not praising you for your good acting.”
It was also difficult for her. Rumors about her godfather's money were flying all over the sky, and she still had the mood to comfort him, her own father's money.
Zhang Yuanjun said: "Actually, it's okay. Our boss said it's better to have a relationship than nothing, but we also have to be capable. I can act well, so why can't I get the role through my own means. After the performance, it's broadcast Now, if you want to see if I don’t perform well, you’ll continue to scold me no matter what.”
Zhang Yuanjun's words were approved by Liu Yifei: "That's right, I won the role. I deserve to be scolded by the audience if I don't perform well. I just have to have this kind of confidence."
The TV station leaders stayed with the crew until the first day of the month before going back.
Judging from the refreshed look of the bearded man, he must have had a good conversation.
Zhang Jizhong found Zhang Yuanjun after dinner at noon that day and said, "It was your father's intention not to tell you before. He was worried that this would affect your acting."
Zhang Yuanjun laughed and said it didn't matter, but interrupted: "I thought I was chosen based on my strength."
Zhang Jizhong smiled: "You performed very well in the audition. Without your father's relationship, I would have chosen you."
Anyone who believes what he says is a fool.
Next week is the New Year, and Zhang Yuanjun will also celebrate the New Year on the set for the first time. The filming of "The Condor" is really getting more and more intense, and there is no room for any free time.
On the other hand, "The Best in the World" will premiere on Wandao on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Zhang Yuanjun will also be unable to attend the promotional activities due to the filming of "The Condor".
It's one thing to be busy with filming, but you really can't take time off.
Another reason is that he didn't apply for a pass or Taiwan entry permit, so he couldn't go even if he had time.
The four secret agents, except Gui Hai Yida, were unable to attend the promotion, and the leading actor Duan Tianya was also absent for some reason.
His reasons are sufficient. He is busy dating the Queen and preparing for the wedding.
Zhang Yuanjun called Wang Jing and said that he could not participate in the promotion of Bay Island: "I will definitely come to promote in the mainland."
In fact, what Zhang Yuanjun doesn't know is that the mainland promotion of "The Best in the World" has only confirmed one stop in Hangzhou.
Publicity funds are really not enough.
It has been confirmed that it will star on Shanxi Satellite TV, but the specific schedule has not yet been determined. The showrunners and the TV station leaders are still trying to get a good schedule.
When Wang Jing heard Zhang Yuanjun said that he should actively cooperate with mainland publicity, he said in a dilemma: "You also know that post-production is very long and expensive. The money given by investors has been almost spent. We really can't get the follow-up publicity." More money is being paid.”
"Oh, that's it." Zhang Yuanjun felt a pity.
Wang Jing said in time: "Your hometown TV station in Gan Province also bought our drama..."
Zhang Yuanjun understood what he meant.
What the hell!
This old boy has no publicity money, but he actually wants to sponsor the crew with his own money!
800,000 yuan went into his private pocket, and he was not afraid of dying!
Zhang Yuanjun was already stupid enough to spend 800,000 yuan to buy Guihai's knife. How could he be fooled again: "Then I will definitely mobilize my whole family to watch our show!"
But Wang Jing said: "But our propaganda work cannot fall behind, especially in your own hometown, what do you think?"
Zhang Yuanjun understood: "I understand. I will tell our village chief tomorrow and ask him to loudspeaker and call the whole village to come and see."
Wang Jing was stupid if he didn't understand at this time. Zhang Yuanjun was pretending and didn't pay.
I also blame myself for being too greedy at the time. Relying on my status as a senior director and senior, I asked for 800,000 yuan.
800,000, as long as he is not on a big production crew like "Hero" or "The Promise" and changes some production crews, with this kind of money, he can be the absolute boss.
Not to mention that he later wanted to work with You Naihai to trick him into paying 10 million Hong Kong dollars using a supporting character named Jimmy.
They just don't care about money, and they're not really stupid.
Zhang Yuanjun will not pay Wang Jing anymore.
Wang Jing understood, said a few more dry greetings, and hung up the phone.
The crew also considered the New Year issue and concentrated on filming the scenes of individual actors in the past few days so that they could go home smoothly.
For example, with Yang Mi, the crew took three days to film some of her scenes, then let her go home for the New Year, and agreed to return to the crew on the sixth day of the new year.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Yuanjun called home and said that the crew was too busy and would not be able to come back this year.
Of course, these words made my mother complain: "My second brother can come back for the spring break this year to celebrate the New Year, but you are not at home. When can you finish filming this movie?"
"I don't know yet," Zhang Yuanjun really didn't know. "Mom, please send me the box in the cabinet on the right side of my desk."
"That's a box of music scores, right?"
"Yeah." Those were songs "composed" by Zhang Yuanjun, and there were not many of them.
"Logistics has been stopped for the past few days. I will send it to you when the New Year begins." After saying that, my mother asked again, "How was your New Year's Eve meal on the set?"
Mothers worry about their children eating and drinking outside the home.
"It's not bad. I've seen our producer negotiating the menu with the hotel these days. The crew is not stingy. They all have good dishes."
"Drink less alcohol outside, you know."
"Um."
"Remember to call your grandma and grandma to wish you a happy New Year."
"Know."
"Okay, you can have a good time filming on the set. Eat and drink whatever you want, and don't be reluctant to spend money."
"I know, I won't treat myself badly." Zhang Yuanjun said.
The mother nagged a few more words, Zhang Yuanjun responded, and then ended the call.
The work of the crew has not slackened as the New Year approaches.
Zhang Yuanjun still gets up at five or six o'clock every day and shoots until ninety o'clock in the evening.
Liu Yifei is more comfortable in Xiangshan. Her scenes in Xiangshan are relatively sporadic. She shoots two scenes today and two tomorrow. Sometimes she can take a half-day break a day.
Liu Yifei crossed her legs and said, "I can finally take a break."
She had nothing to do this afternoon, so she called her assistant: "Come on, follow me into the city to buy something."
