Those sent to inquire about Xiao Zhao's trip to Japan will eventually be disappointed.
After Xiao Zhao and his group of five arrived in Japan, they were first picked up by Liu Yifei and treated to a Japanese meal.
The next day, I talked with several middle-aged and elderly people from a certain company, and then went to a building that seemed to be someone's house as a guest.
On the third day, we continued to eat, travel, and discuss with these people until the morning of the sixth day, when both parties smiled and shook hands in an elegant retro teahouse, indicating that the matter was settled.
In the afternoon, Liu Yifei took two people to meet at the hotel where Xiao Zhao was staying. An hour later, the two parties broke up.
On the morning of the seventh day, Xiao Zhao personally went to Liu Yifei’s training station to visit the class. They had dinner together at noon and in the afternoon the two of them visited Tokyo Disneyland.
On the eighth day, Xiao Zhao and his party returned to the capital.
On the ninth day, Xiao Zhao returned to the crew of "Famous" in the magical city.
After listening to Xiao Zhao's report, Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "You are really good at bargaining. If someone wants 2 million, you can directly bargain for 500,000."
"Two million yuan is obviously taken as being taken advantage of. The final transaction price of 830,000 yuan was too much for me. If I give him two more days, I can deduct all the air ticket money from him."
"Okay, don't worry about the two or thirty thousand." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Also," Xiao Zhao added, leaning over and smiling, "when did you write a song for Yifei?"
Seeing the ambiguous smile on his assistant's face, Zhang Yuanjun was a little panicked: "I just made her happy and sang randomly. She happened to be releasing an album, so I gave it to her. Have you met her in Japan?"
"I see, you are working very hard now. Vocal, dance, and language training are more difficult than filming." Xiao Zhao said, "I haven't forgotten you in Japan, so I asked you for two songs." The price is 20,000 per song.”
"Only 20,000?" Zhang Yuanjun only heard "20,000 per song" and was not satisfied with the price. He ignored "I haven't forgotten you in Japan."
"Just be satisfied. We are not famous in the music world. It's pretty good if we can get 20,000 yuan for a song."
Du Qifeng's "Underworld" will be released in mainland China at the end of this month.
I don’t know which unscrupulous reporter dug up the information, saying that Du Qifeng invited Zhang Yuanjun to play Jimmy Tsai in the film, but Zhang Yuanjun refused to cooperate due to "some reasons".
As a master of gangster movies, To Qifeng does not have as many fans in the mainland as Wang Jiawei, and his offensive power is not as strong.
Netizens have a pity attitude toward this rumor, and of course there is also some ridicule.
It is said that Zhang Yuanjun rejected "Underworld" and missed the opportunity to appear in Cannes.
"Underworld" was shortlisted for the main competition in this year's Cannes. It received a good response at the film festival, and all the leading actors received great international exposure.
A reporter called Zhang Yuanjun's studio and didn't know what to ask about such a thing. Xiao Zhao responded to this matter simply and neatly: "I missed it once, but there is still a next time. I believe we will not be too far away from Cannes." .”
This reply was quite humble and polite, and Zhang Yuanjun did not intend to say more.
But others don't see it that way.
In the eyes of some people, Zhang Yuanjun rejected Du Qifeng and refused to make a Hong Kong movie!
This is an incredible thing!
At that time, Zhang Yuanjun was a complete newcomer and had just finished filming "The Best in the World".
Wang Jing arranged for him to go to Hong Kong Island to film Du Qifeng's scene, but he actually refused!
"Tell me what you were thinking at the time?" The crew of "Famous" had no money. Except for director Tian Zhuangzhuang, who lived in a single room, the other actors all shared a room. The one who shared the same room with Zhang Yuanjun was Luo Jin, "If it were me, I'd go. Du Qifeng, the master of gangster movies."
Zhang Yuanjun said: "I will tell you this matter. Don't spread it outside."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not spread such gossip."
Zhang Yuanjun organized the words in his mind and said: "They did come to me last year before the filming started. I was quite beautiful at the time, and I felt like I was lucky."
"It's just good luck." Luo Jin said.
"What I didn't expect was that Wang Jing, an old boy, and You Naihai wanted to get me to invest in this drama. Du Qifeng didn't have enough money."
"Uh..." Luo Jin was speechless, "How much does he want from you?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanjun also got emotional and cursed: "xx, he wants 10 million Hong Kong notes from me."
Luo Jin couldn't stand listening anymore: "I saw that movie, and it said it was an investment of 40 million. If you can spend 40 million, I'll chop off your head and give it to him. He asked you for 10 million, I'm really not afraid of dying!"
"No wonder you ignored this group of people after filming "The Best in the World". These people are too shady."
"So, I don't want to be with these Hong Kong and Taiwanese people now." Zhang Yuanjun finally said.
"Underworld" did well in Hong Kong Island, with over one million on the first day - in such a small city, over one million on the first day is considered a hit.
However, the film encountered severe acclimatization in the Mainland and failed to cross the million mark on the first day, which disappointed all theater managers.
Theater managers are the most realistic people. They will arrange films for those who can make money for the theater.
"Underworld" simply couldn't support the market in the mainland, and its film schedule was cut off again and again.
Within a few days, even the promotion and box office information of this film could not be found online.
Isn’t it the director? Isn’t it Cannes? Why is there no sound?
But no one can deny that "Underworld" is a good movie.
But the market is so unreasonable, and good films may not always sell for money.
On the first Friday of November, the 38th day after the filming of "Famous" started, Tian Zhuangzhuang completed the filming of all the shots of the film and announced the completion in the square of the movie city villa.
The audience burst into warm applause.
The time is not long, only 38 days, but this is the common effort of all the students in Table 02 - to use a theatrical feature film as a graduation drama. Let me know who has this skill!
Wang Jia hugged Teacher Yu and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" Zhang Yuanjun didn't understand the girl's tears, "I haven't seen you crying since the filming of "The Condor" was finished."
"This time is different." Wang Jia stood up from Teacher Yu's shoulders, "This time there are so many people in our class filming together. We can be together for more than thirty days in our senior year. It's not easy. In addition to graduation defense and graduation next year, Zhao, we may never be able to gather so many people again in the future.”
When Wang Jia said this, Zhang Yuanjun felt a little sad.
Now that I am a senior, it may be impossible to gather this circle of people in the future.
Familiar and unfamiliar, after all, we have been classmates for 4 years, they are just like a stone, and they have been covered in heat for 4 years.
Instead, Teacher Yu spoke up: "Why are you crying? It's a good thing that it's finished. Have a good meal at night and get some sleep to forget all the unhappy things."
"Yes!" Wang Jia hugged Teacher Yu and nodded.
In the evening, Director Han fulfilled his previous promise and came to the closing banquet.
He has been idle for more than half a month, paying close attention to the developments in the United States.
He really discovered something. During Zhang Yuanjun's vacation in the United States, he registered a studio called "Z Studio" in Hollywood.
The studio is now run by professional managers.
This studio has just been registered and does not have any projects under its name.
Han Sanping was keenly aware of the strangeness.
So, at the closing banquet of "Famous", he raised his wine glass and said to Zhang Yuanjun with a smirk on his face: "Good boy, you are still planning to hide it from me."
