"What do you want me to do? What can I do? My wife needs medical treatment and my children need to go to school. If I don't have money, do you want me to watch my wife die?"
Zhang Jiahui's face was pressed against the table, and a pistol was pressed against his temple.
At this moment, his face was ferocious, and the veins on his forehead were popping out. Although his upper body was under control, his legs were still struggling.
The role he plays in the play is similar to that of a private detective, and it was he who introduced Xiao Yan's work this time.
However, no one expected that for money, he would actually betray his employer's information, causing the person Xiao Yan wanted to protect to be kidnapped, and also framed Zhang Chu, causing him to almost die in Japan.
When Xiao Yan returned to Japan after escaping death, it was Gu Ming, a private detective played by Zhang Jiahui, who revealed Xiao Yan's hiding place to the tycoon.
After going through all kinds of things, Xiao Yan also revealed that Gu Ming was the kidnapper's insider.
"For money? Why the hell did you involve me in this?"
Xiao Yan's eyes were full of anger, and his tone seemed to freeze.
He also does it for money and to give his sister Xiao Li a better life.
But he has a bottom line as a human being.
Gu Ming was speechless. Speaking of it, Xiao Yan was the one he felt most sorry for in this incident.
The two were friends, but in order to clear away the suspicion afterwards and get the money smoothly, he involved Xiao Yan and prepared to take Xiao Yan's life.
Gu Ming stopped struggling and knelt with his legs weak. He felt Zhang Chu's hand was so strong that the gun almost pierced his head, and his expression was full of fear.
"I don't want it either, I don't want it either, but..."
"But what?"
Xiao Yan asked sharply.
"There is...someone wants your life."
Xiao Yan frowned.
"who is it?"
Zhang Chu did not expect that he was also one of the targets of this group of kidnappers.
"Remember He Wei?"
How powerful?
"That's Uncle Wei."
When Zhang Chu heard this name, his eyes immediately became extremely fierce.
According to the plot setting, it is now one year after Xiao Li was kidnapped.
During the kidnapping, Xiao Li suffered inhuman torture because she refused to cooperate. It took more than half a year of psychological counseling before she gradually recovered.
But there are still several scars on the body that cannot be removed.
Now that Xiao Yan heard the name He Wei again, he wished he could pull him out of hell and kill him again.
"I only know that the person who wants to kill you has something to do with He Wei. I don't know anything else."
Gu Ming said, feeling that the strength in Xiao Yan's hand was not as strong as before.
Suddenly, with a strong effort, Xiao Yan was knocked away, and he was about to run away.
Unfortunately……
puff!
The pistol equipped with a silencer made a muffled sound, and the bullet entered from the back of Gu Ming's head and flew out between his eyebrows. Gu Ming fell to the ground before he could make a single sound.
"CUT!"
Zhang Jiahui, who was lying on the ground, jumped up and immediately ran to director Du Qifeng.
"Director, is that okay? If not, I can do another one."
This sentence has almost become his mantra. After every scene is shot, he will ask the director's opinion immediately.
"Very good! No problem."
Du Qifeng had known the actor Zhang Jiahui before, but had never worked with him before. Zhang Jiahui gave him the impression that he was a comedian.
He didn't expect his acting skills to be so good. When Zhang Chu was pressed on the table, he couldn't help but admire him for the two moments when his legs struggled.
After filming this scene, the crew will leave for Japan.
Yongsheng really spent a lot of money this time. Not counting post-production publicity, the production cost alone was as high as 120 million. During this period, it traveled to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Dongxin and France.
It has taken a month now and I have just completed the mainland part of the title sequence and the filming of Hong Kong.
The next step is the most difficult part. Going overseas to shoot scenes is not as easy as in the Mainland and Hong Kong.
It takes a lot of energy and time to obtain a filming permit alone and to seal off the scene during filming.
"Master, I also want to go with you."
Xiang Zuo found Zhang Chu again and stayed with Zhang Chu during this period. After careful training, he himself could clearly feel that his progress was very fast.
"You don't go to school anymore?"
Hearing what Zhang Chu said, Xiang Zuo immediately lost his temper.
No matter what he wants to do, Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan will do their best to support and train him. But when it comes to academics, the couple never relax.
"Zuo, just stay at home and be a good student!"
Xie Tingfeng came over, smiled and patted Xiang Zuo's shoulder.
In the past month, Xie Tingfeng has been taught by Xiang Zuo, and he has suffered a lot under Xiang Zuo's hands.
"I am your senior brother, you'd better be polite to me."
Xiang Zuo shook his shoulders, shook off Xie Tingfeng's hand, and stepped forward to help Zhang Chu get his bag and water glass.
Xiao Ma was supposed to do these things, but now he did them all for him.
Back at the hotel, everything has been packed. We will set off at 9:30 tomorrow morning and arrive in Japan at noon.
"Brother, tell me... if they knew you were filming in the past, would there be people protesting around the crew every day?"
This unlucky kid seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.
Zhang Chu doesn't know if someone will come to the crew to cause trouble. What is certain is that the entire Japanese fighting world will not welcome him.
After being slapped in the face by Zhang Chu, is it possible that the backbone of the Japanese fighting community will never straighten up?
In the past, the most popular fighting skills in the world were Korea's Taekwondo, Japan's Judo, and Karate.
After being dealt with by Zhang Chu in turn, he has long lost the prestige of the past, and now the most popular one has become the traditional Chinese martial arts.
As for ordinary people in Japan...
Their feelings for Zhang Chu should be quite complicated. Some of them who are more extreme will definitely not welcome Zhang Chu. They wish that Zhang Chu would disappear from the world automatically.
However, some Japanese people became his admirers after being convinced by Zhang Chu.
I heard from Chen Lan that after the first part of "The Rescue" was released in Japan, his fans association actually appeared there.
Zhang Chu really couldn't stand the Japanese way of thinking.
He grabbed the Japanese man by the collar and slapped him dozens or hundreds of times, and he actually made true love.
However, people in this country have always worshiped the strong. Starting from the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, they have been good sons to the Chinese dynasties for thousands of years.
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a wild monkey named Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was dissatisfied and wanted to challenge the authority of China. However, after being punished, he became honest again for hundreds of years.
Until modern times, taking advantage of the decline of China, the Japanese felt that they had the upper hand again, and they were so arrogant that they wanted to destroy the Chinese civilization and then conquer the world.
Then two little mushrooms were planted by Americans, and he changed his family from then on, and recognized Americans as his father.
Deep down, I have always looked down on China. I always felt that the previous defeat was because of the Americans and had nothing to do with China.
That’s why I spared no effort to provoke China in various fields. As a result...
After being beaten repeatedly by Zhang Chu, he was completely convinced.
Some Japanese people got angry and were still waiting for opportunities to fight back, while some others were completely impressed by Zhang Chu.
At least until Zhang Chu is defeated, they will always be Zhang Chu's biggest fans.
"Zhang Chu."
Looking up, I saw Zhang Ziyi standing at the door.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhang Ziyi will return to the mainland tomorrow to participate in an event, and will go to Japan to join the large army in a few days.
Zhang Ziyi did not speak, but looked at Xiao Ma aside.
Xiao Ma immediately understood: "Brother, I'll buy you throat lozenges."
This girl is not stupid. She has long discovered that the relationship between Zhang Chu and Zhang Ziyi is unusual.
After Zhang Ziyi gave Zhang Ziyi the throat lozenges once, Zhang Chu now needs to prepare a few boxes when flying. Although Zhang Chu's airsickness cannot be cured, it can at least alleviate it.
"Can you say it now?"
"That Warner movie..."
Still this.
Zhang Chu felt helpless after hearing this.
"Who do you think I am?"
Well?
"What's the meaning?"
"I've made it very clear to you, I can't decide who will be the heroine of that drama."
"You can recommend it to Warner."
Zhang Ziyi still refuses to give up. Although it is not the A-level production she has longed for, as long as it is a Hollywood movie, she wants to work hard for it.
Her previous participation in Cheng Long's "Rush Hour" did not bring her much benefit. Although she gained some popularity in the United States, it was very limited.
She wants to truly establish herself in Hollywood, but she is obviously still far away.
"The male lead is yellow, the second male lead is black, and the female lead, do you think Warner will use another Chinese?"
"Why not? Rush Hour isn't..."
“The main audience for ‘Rush Hour’ is Mainland China and Hong Kong.”
This is what Wang Jinghua and Zhang Chu said. He had also told Wang Jinghua before that Zhang Ziyi hoped that he could help.
Wang Jinghua then analyzed it for him. Although "Rush Hour" is produced in Hollywood, its main market is in Asia.
"Night Walker" is different. Warner's market positioning for this film is in North America.
Both the male and female protagonists use Chinese words...
Don’t we need to consider the attitudes of North American audiences?
"If you don't try, how will you know it doesn't work?"
Zhang Chu was laughed out of anger when he heard this. This woman was really pushing the envelope.
Chen Lan originally wanted to use a local actress from Hong Kong for the heroine of "Hurricane Rescue".
It was Zhang Chu's insistence that led to the casting of Zhang Ziyi, and now he has set his sights on "Night Walker".
"When I can get a salary of tens of millions of dollars, maybe the production company will seriously consider my suggestion."
Zhang Chu was previously fascinated by Zhou Yunfa's tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in salary, but later he realized that compared with the salary of actors in Hollywood, there is still a big gap between the big names in Hong Kong.
Hearing what Zhang Chu said, it was obvious that he was not going to help. Zhang Ziyi turned around and left with a cold face.
This woman is really realistic enough.
"Brother, have you made Sister Ziyi angry?"
"Didn't you buy me throat lozenges?"
Well……
"They are sold downstairs."
Xiao Ma said, took out two boxes of throat lozenges and shook them at Zhang Chu.
He took the initiative to avoid it out of politeness, but Xiao Ma was really worried about Zhang Chu and Zhang Ziyi!
