"It turns out to be you."
On the set of "Infernal Affairs", today is the day to wrap up filming, and there is only one last scene left.
After Han Chen died, Liu Jianming no longer had any worries and could only focus on being a good person. Chen Yongren also completed his task. The two had cooperated before, but now it was time for Liu Jianming to fulfill his promise and restore Chen Yongren's identity.
The roles of the two are polar opposites in the play, but there are not many rivalry scenes.
In the first scene, Chen Yongren went to an electrical appliance store to collect protection fees, and by the way helped sell Liu Jianming a set of stereos.
This is the second meeting.
There was also a scene in the middle where Liu Jianming and Han Chen met in a movie theater. Chen Yongren had followed Liu Jianming and almost revealed the other party's identity, but it was unfortunately ruined by Shaqiang's phone call.
The last scene was the rooftop decisive battle, which was already filmed when we first started shooting.
"How about that machine?"
"Great."
As Liu Dehua spoke, he was sorting the materials on the table. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
"The machine needs to be preheated. The sound will be better after preheating for ten minutes."
Liu Dehua pursed his lips and smiled: "How long have you been an undercover agent?"
Zhang Chu thought of the old days, his voice full of fatigue: "I have been with Han Chen for more than three years, and I have been with several bosses before, which adds up to almost 10 years."
At the end of the day, I thought that these days of worry were finally over, and a relaxed smile appeared on my face.
Liu Dehua pretended to be surprised: "Ten years? It seems I have to award you a medal!"
"Just restore my identity. I just want to be an ordinary person."
Liu Dehua looked at Zhang Chu and asked tentatively: "Tired of it?"
Zhang Chu smiled bitterly: "You have never been an undercover agent, so you don't understand. It's a pity that the mole can't be found. If I find him, I won't let him go."
Liu Dehua's expression changed slightly: "Don't think so much. I'll restore your identity and I'll help you open the file, but I don't have the password."
"What is the undercover MORSE code?"
Liu Dehua was surprised: "Is it that simple?"
Zhang Chu spread his hands, it was that simple.
"Okay! Let me try!"
Liu Dehua said and got up and went out.
Zhang Chu was bored, looking at the materials on the table, his expression suddenly became very solemn.
Because under a pile of materials, there is a portfolio, and in the corner of the portfolio, there is the word "mark" written on it.
That was written by Chen Yongren to Shaqiang, and this file bag was handed over to the mole by Han Chen in the cinema.
When the file bag appeared on Liu Jianming's desk, there was only one explanation.
Liu Jianming is the mole.
When things developed to this point, Chen Yongren clearly had many ways to expose Liu Jianming's identity, but he chose the most dangerous one.
He wanted to catch Liu Jianming with his own hands, and of course before that, he had to get enough evidence.
"CUT!"
Liu Weiqiang shouted stop, and Zhang Chu's expression immediately relaxed.
""Infernal Affairs" is finished!"
After three months, the drama was finally completed.
It has to be said that the work efficiency of Xiangjiang filmmakers is very high. One movie can be completed in three months.
Of course, this is not even the fastest!
Zhang Chu heard Liu Dehua say that there was a director named Wang Jing in Xiangjiang who shot a movie in just one week, and after it was released, it could earn tens of millions at the box office.
"Congratulations!"
Liu Dehua walked in and saw Zhang Chu, who was still holding the table.
"Congratulations!"
It took Zhang Chu a while to recover from Chen Yongren's emotions, turned to look at Liu Dehua, and responded.
"We've prepared a wedding banquet tonight. Let's have a drink then!"
"good!"
After greeting a few familiar people in the crew, Zhang Chu took Xiao Ma and left the set.
If he doesn't leave, he will be surrounded by reporters again.
Although the media is not optimistic about the prospects of "Infernal Affairs", it is still paying close attention to it because there are many stars participating in the show.
"Hello!"
"Master!"
It's Jie Tingfeng.
"Is something wrong?"
"The money I borrowed last time, now..."
Zhang Chu frowned subconsciously: "Aren't you and Cecilia Cheung separated?"
Well……
Xie Tingfeng was silent for a moment: "It was because of anger, so..."
So shit!
Zhang Chu could guess this kind of separation and recombination without even thinking about it.
"Just hit my account!"
Zhang Chucai was too lazy to pay attention to such nonsense. It was always a good thing to get his money back.
5 million!
"Oh! Okay! Well... Master, the heroine of the second part of "The Rescue", can you consider Cecilia?"
Stuff a yarn!
"Don't think about this matter, the heroine has already been decided."
Hearing what Zhang Chu said, Xie Tingfeng didn't feel too disappointed. Anyway, he called and asked Zhang Chu. He just wanted to explain to Cecilia Cheung.
"Is there any other role suitable for me?"
Xie Tingfeng also asked casually. He is now famous and has no shortage of filming. However, if he can participate in "The Rescue", it will be good for his future development, and maybe he can also enter Hollywood.
The fact that Warner's CEO Owen Turner came to Xiangjiang to meet with Zhang Chu was not concealed from the media in Xiangjiang. Reports had already spread all over the place.
Zhang Chu is about to land in Hollywood. Although he has not responded, everyone knows that this is a certainty.
"Taken" has been put into full production, and the global box office has exceeded 300 million.
Who doesn't look at it with envy?
Zhang Chu is now a hot potato, and everyone is staring at him.
All his movements are always the focus of media reports.
"In your words...but there is a role that suits your father very well."
Zhang Chu said, suddenly remembering Xie Xian whom he had met once.
In the sequel to "Taken", there is a Chinese boss who plays a very important role. If you think about it carefully, it does match the image of Xie Xian very well.
Unexpectedly, Xie Tingfeng originally wanted to use Zhang Chu's relationship to see if he could get a role for himself and Cecilia Cheung.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be cheaper for my father.
"That's it!"
"I'll just have someone contact your dad. Is there anything else? Hang up!"
After saying that, Zhang Chu hung up the phone. He had not yet completely stepped out of his role, and the feeling of exhaustion was still very obvious.
"How about it?"
Zhang Bozhi saw Xie Tingfeng put down the phone and walked over quickly.
She has already asked Chen Lan.
It was up to Zhang Chu to decide the heroine of the sequel to "Hurricane Rescue", so he decided to see if he could get it for himself through Xie Tingfeng's connections.
"It's decided."
Cecilia Cheung's expression was immediately filled with disappointment.
"Okay! Let's do it next time and see if there is another chance in the future!"
Xie Tingfeng originally didn't want to make this call, but he couldn't stand Zhang Bozhi's repeated requests. Now it's okay. Zhang Chu simply refused, which saved him the trouble.
After speaking, he picked up the phone and called his assistant to explain the transfer to Zhang Chu.
He was generous, giving 5 million without even blinking an eye.
In the evening, Media Asia Pictures arranged the closing banquet of "Infernal Affairs" in a Chinese restaurant.
The boss Lin Jianyue was also present. His target was Zhang Chu, but unfortunately Zhang Chu was not interested in his overtures.
This person is too stingy.
After "Infernal Affairs", there should be no chance for cooperation.
Because Media Asia definitely can’t afford Zhang Chu’s salary.
Actors are divided into different positions, and the most direct distinction is the salary.
Among the Chinese actors, Cheng Long is undoubtedly the first one, followed by Li Lianjie, Zhou Yunfa, and Zhou Xingchi, who are a little behind, followed by Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka-fai and others.
Although the current Zhang Chu is not up to Cheng Long's level, he is not far behind Li Lianjie and Zhou Runfa.
In other words, if you want to film with Zhang Chu in Xiangjiang and you don’t have a salary of tens of millions, please don’t talk too much.
After all, few actors are willing to lower themselves.
Zhang Chu naturally refused.
However, it is not completely impossible to collaborate again. If "Infernal Affairs" gets a high box office after its release, a sequel will definitely be made.
The part that has been filmed now obviously does not unfold the entire story.
But if it doesn't perform well at the box office, there's not much to say.
Zhang Chu only stayed for a while, drank two glasses of wine with Liu Dehua, and chatted about follow-up cooperation before leaving early with Xiao Ma.
After coming out of the hotel, Zhang Chu reported a location. When he arrived at the place, Xiao Ma found out that it was Yuan Heping's home.
After Zhang Chu came to Xiangjiang this time, the first thing he did was to visit Yuan Heping. Now that the filming has been completed, he is preparing to return to the capital for the New Year, so naturally he also wants to say hello to Yuan Heping.
"I'm going to Hollywood to test the waters now. Isn't it too hasty?"
Yuan Heping also learned about the contact between Zhang Chu and Warner from the media.
"If you don't try it, how will you know the result?"
Yuan Heping is not as confident as Zhang Chu. He only knows that the environment there is more complicated and cruel than that in Xiangjiang.
Once Warner does not get the expected benefits from this cooperation, it will prove that Zhang Chu has failed.
As a newcomer, Hollywood basically wouldn't give him a second chance.
"You have to think clearly for yourself. If you need help if you need anything, just ask!"
Zhang Chu came today. In addition to saying hello to Yuan Heping before returning to Beijing, he really wanted to ask for something.
"Director Yuan, lend me Brother Zhao when the time comes."
"Azhao?"
Yuan Heping smiled. Gu Xuanzhao was from the Yuan family. Zhang Chu was willing to take Gu Xuanzhao to Hollywood, and he was naturally happy to see it happen.
"Okay, when the time comes, you can call him yourself. I have no problem here!"
There are many good players in the Yuan family class, and it doesn't matter if one Gu Xuanzhao is missing, but if he can make a name for himself in Hollywood, it will be of great benefit to Gu Xuanzhao's future development.
It was getting late, so Zhang Chu only stayed for a while before getting up and leaving.
In the hotel, Zhang Chu was getting ready to rest after taking a shower when he received another call.
"it's me!"
Duck voice! ?
"Is something wrong?"
"Talk in person."
"No need! Just talk on the phone if you need anything."
Meeting his apprentice's wife late at night, Zhang Chu was not that bottomless. Even if nothing happened, he was now the focus of the media in Xiangjiang. If he was photographed, he would not be able to explain it at all.
Zhang Bozhi didn't say anything for a long time. Zhang Chu hung up the phone directly, then turned off the phone and threw it aside.
sleep!
