The opening of Yu Jiangnan was not done with much fanfare, but after all, with such a large courtyard, it would be difficult not to attract attention even if the opening wanted to be low-key.
Zhang Yuanjun invited his friends in Beijing to have a meal on the second day of opening.
Until now, only a limited number of people know that this 70-acre Jiangnan courtyard belongs to his family.
"It's been extremely difficult to reserve a seat in Jiangnan these days." Shu Chang sat next to Liu Yifei and looked at the box arranged by Zhang Yuanjun, "I wanted to reserve a seat before the opening, but they said that unless I dine in the lobby, if I want to book a box, I have to wait until next month. .How did you order it?"
Zhang Yuanjun would not tell her that the private room they were in was reserved for the Zhang family to entertain guests and was not open to the public. This private room is not the most expensive and luxurious in Yujiangnan. The most expensive and luxurious private rooms are used for business and making money. This private room focuses on returning to nature, freshness and elegance.
Liu Yifei sat aside and laughed at his nonsense: "I know the manager of their store, and it took me a long time to beg someone to book this private room."
"The No. 1 Xiaosheng's reputation is that he is easy to use." Luo Jin said.
"What? People are ignoring you at all. No matter how big a star is, it doesn't matter here." Liu Yifei also had some knowledge about this, and then said a funny thing, "My assistant used my name to reserve a seat. She still said no. She also said repeatedly that we are Liu Yifei's staff, and their customer service staff said, I know, no matter who it is, there is no private room now."
Speaking of the stupid things her assistant did, Liu Yifei was amused: "She also said, we can do publicity for you. Guess what their employees said? They said that Yu Jiangnan relies on exquisite dishes and high-quality services, and does not rely on celebrity publicity. advertise.
"There's really nothing we can do against her."
Zhang Yuanjun laughed on the sidelines. He really didn't know that Liu Yifei had done this before.
During the dinner, Luo Jin toasted Zhang Yuanjun alone.
"Give me an explanation. There is no explanation. I won't drink this cup."
Luo Jin looked at the people present and didn't intend to say it out loud, so he whispered in Zhang Yuanjun's ear.
"These two men even talked quietly."
Zhang Yuanjun listened and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'll drink this cup."
Zhu Yawen shouted: "You two still have a little secret, no, you must make it clear today. You have slept in the same dormitory for 4 years, and you still have secrets hidden from me?"
"Can you tell me?" Zhang Yuanjun asked Luo Jin.
Luo Jin said: "You asked me to say it, not for me to fill the cup."
"Put it on, let's fill this cup today, just say it."
So Luo Jin said: "Last year, when I was looking at a house with my third son, he recommended two stocks to me when it came to investment. I followed suit and bought some. I made some money by selling them this year."
"How much do you earn?" Zhu Yawen asked.
"It's more than enough to match your salary from "Crossing Guandong"."
"Gan! You didn't call me when you had this opportunity to make a fortune! I almost froze to death in the Northeast, but you can make money just by moving your fingers. Come on, come on, I'll toast you too," the more he said, the more serious he became, "I'll do it again in the future. If you have such an opportunity to make a fortune, you can take care of your brothers."
"If I really have that ability, I won't act. Now is the bull market. I just stumble upon it." It is no exaggeration to say that the money Zhang Yuanjun made from the stock market this year has been able to support him in purchasing independent offices for his employees as he originally boasted. Lou's cow.
Before graduation, everyone would often communicate with each other about how much they earned from advertising today and how much they earned from being a model.
But after graduation, everyone agreed not to care about each other's income.
The group had dinner and went home.
The next day, Zhang Yuanjun received a call from his American manager Eddie, telling him that China Film had purchased "Buried Alive" for US$320,000 and was preparing to make a batch of films for release in mainland China.
"Buried Alive" had previously been blocked from being released in China, so Zhang Yuanjun was not going to take care of this matter. "Buried Alive" would not make any money in China anyway.
But China Film and Huayi didn't think so. "Buried Alive" was shortlisted for the Cannes main competition and grossed over US$60 million at the global box office at a cost of US$3 million. All these achievements prove their success overseas.
Therefore, China Film and Huayi are trying every means to get "Buried Alive" to be released in China.
It's not about making money - "Buried Alive" has already given them what they want, China Film has gained political achievements, and Huayi has received financing - it's just for further publicity.
Not long after, a notice from the studio colleagues arrived, saying this: "China Film has placed "Buried Alive" on Friday, January 18 next year. I hope we can cooperate in promoting it."
"How to promote it?" How do you want to promote a film that has been approved? Zhang Yuanjun doesn't even expect this film to make money in China, so he just wants to show off his face.
China Film doesn't want to put too much effort into a batch of films: "Just come to the premiere on the 14th, and China Film doesn't want to waste a lot of time."
"Okay, that's it."
"Will you go to the premiere of "The Letter of Enrollment" on the 6th next month?"
"I won't go. I should be rehearsing in Jinling at that time. Push it for me."
"Where's the premiere of "Assembly" with 10,000 people on the 18th?"
"It was also recommended to me. After Jin Ling, director Li Yang and I went to Hong Kong Island for a script meeting. The script of "Transcendence" will be greatly revised. I will try to come up with a final script this year."
"Boss, I think we should make more commercial films. There's nothing much to say about "Love Is Afterlife" and the teacher's favor. But for literary films like "Transcendence", we really suggest that you don't make them for the time being. We should first consolidate our own commercial value."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "I also want to make commercial blockbusters, but they don't look for us. What can I do?"
"Didn't you make an appointment with Lu Chuan before, and you didn't go to meet him?"
Lu Chuan liked Zhang Yuanjun so much, because everyone in the industry knew that he would invest in movies if he had money, so Lu Chuan felt that he could convince Zhang Yuanjun to pay for it.
"You still talk about him. I don't like this person." Actually, I really can't blame the studio. Nowadays, directors want to make blockbusters and actors want to star in blockbusters, but these are the only projects every year. There are many people who come to the door, but it suits Zhang Yuanjun. There are not many cafe seats and requirements.
Zhang Yuanjun then explained: "Lu Chuan and I can't be together. When we were filming his "Nanjing! Nanjing!", I really didn't want to go back to the theater to rehearse dramas. You don't have to be too anxious to pick dramas for me. I can only shoot one or two dramas a year. , don’t be too tight.” Zhang Yuanjun is probably the first boss who is not anxious about his own business.
It's not that he's not worried about his own business, but when it comes to filming, Zhang Yuanjun adheres to the principle of valuing quality over quantity.
In fact, it is very offensive to implement such a principle. Sometimes actors do not have that much say, especially a new actor like Zhang Yuanjun who has only been in the industry for a few years.
He once naively thought that if he did not sign a contract with a company and became a personal studio, the initiative would be in his own hands.
But he was wrong. There were too many things restraining and pulling him in this circle.
He now understands very well that some actors act in bad movies, even if the actors themselves say otherwise.
Can’t the actors see that this is a bad movie? In fact, many actors with good professionalism can be seen at the script stage, but there is no way, you have to take some scenes.
Zhang Yuanjun has resisted such pressure and rejected more than one script.
Otherwise, given his current popularity, if he was open to accepting roles, he would have to buy an apartment in Hengdian and live there.
When it comes to filming, you don't have much talent, but in other businesses, Zhang Yuanjun is very diligent.
Zhang Yuanjun will actively cooperate with arrangements for commercial performances, interviews, endorsement activities, etc.
It’s almost the end of the year, and there are gradually more and more activities looking for Zhang Yuanjun. Zhang Yuanjun’s commercial performance quotations are very high, basically above 500,000. According to outside analysis, this is because he has risen too quickly and his quotations have a lot of water.
But even with this price, there were still no less than 20 merchants looking for Zhang Yuanjun to do activities by the end of the year. Especially the brands in Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces.
Don't think that artists performing commercial performances and singing and dancing on stage to support brands lose their status. In fact, that's not the case. This is an important manifestation of the artist's commercial value and an important way for artists to manage themselves.
I heard that some not-so-famous artists make a living from commercial performances all year round.
But Zhang Yuanjun doesn't accept all events. After all, he has a celebrity position here and he is not short of money. In addition to the inherent endorsement activities, he only accepted 3 commercial performances in December.
Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to develop a relationship with your girlfriend?
