"Tonight is unforgettable, tonight is unforgettable..."
Accompanied by the unforgettable singing tonight, Yuxuan Zhang walked off the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. This time, the Spring Festival Gala ended smoothly.
When Zhang Yuxuan walked out of CCTV, Li Hu was already waiting outside.
"Do you want to see you off?" Zhang Yuxuan stood beside the car and said to Huang Bo and others.
"No, no, please go back quickly."
"We've got the car ready."
"Yes, go back quickly."
Huang Bo and the others waved their hands.
"Okay, I'll leave first." Zhang Yuxuan opened the door and got in the car, waving goodbye to everyone.
…
When I was little, I always looked forward to the Spring Festival, and even wished that the New Year could come once a day.
But when people grow up, they often find that things like the Spring Festival are not as good as anything else.
As soon as the Spring Festival comes, you have to start busy and prepare everything. You have to buy food, drinks, and things for fun in advance. Then you have to visit relatives, pay New Year greetings, and receive gifts, but
It’s not easy at all. If you have a lot of money, it’s okay. If you don’t have a lot of money, you will have to tighten your belt after this year.
So when I was young, I looked forward to celebrating the New Year, but when I grew up, I was annoyed about the Chinese New Year.
Although Zhang Yuxuan does not have to worry about money, the New Year is not easy for him. Although with his status, except for a few people, he does not need to go to pay New Year greetings in person. But the problem now is,
Day and night, there are always people coming to his door to wish him New Year greetings.
A wave of people will come from time to time, and a wave of people will come from time to time.
There are all kinds of people, including those with close relationships, those with ordinary relationships, and even those with unfamiliar relationships.
Although Li He still played the biggest role in it, Zhang Yuxuan still had to expend a certain amount of energy to deal with this kind of thing.
If you are a well-rounded person or someone who likes to socialize, you may feel happy about this situation, but for someone like Yuxuan Zhang who doesn't like to socialize very much, this situation will actually make people upset.
After another group of people were sent away, Zhang Yuxuan rubbed his temples and felt like his head was going to explode.
"Sister Ha, I'm going out for a walk." Zhang Yuxuan doesn't want to stay at home anymore, annoying!
"Okay. You can go out for a walk. I will handle the matters here." Li He knew Zhang Yuxuan's character and knew that Zhang Yuxuan was bothered by this, so he simply let Zhang Yuxuan leave.
Put on your autumn clothes and long trousers, put on a sweater on top, finally put on velvet trousers and a goose down cotton coat, finally put on a mask, a pair of large sunglasses on the bridge of your nose, and finally put on a hat
, Li He then helped Zhang Yuxuan wrap a scarf around his body, and Zhang Yuxuan went out with his whole body wrapped tightly.
Just when Henry Zhang left home, before leaving the gate of the community, he saw someone coming again and walking towards his home. Seeing this, Henry Zhang was a little glad that he left home.
Zhang Yuxuan was fully armed. Although the weather outside was very cold, Zhang Yuxuan did not feel cold. After walking out of the community, he started walking around with nothing to do.
After walking for a long time, his body began to feel warm. Zhang Yuxuan loosened his scarf and took off his sunglasses.
"Are you, Zhang Yuxuan?"
Just after Henry Zhang took off his sunglasses, he heard someone calling him next to him.
Henry Zhang subconsciously turned his head and looked over, and saw a man wearing a cotton coat, a mask, and a hat.
Looking at the other party's outfit, Zhang Yuxuan was stunned for a moment.
"I'm Wu Jing." As he said that, Wu Jing took off his mask and revealed his face.
"Huh? Wu Jing! When did you come back?" Zhang Yuxuan greeted Wu Jing with a smile.
At this time, Wu Jing still looks a little different from a few years ago.
Before, Wu Jing looked quite childish, with a baby face that made her look very young. But now, Wu Jing looks a little more mature and her skin is rougher.
"I came back years ago. After all, I have been away from the capital for several years. I didn't have time to come back before. I have nothing to do this year, so I just came back." Wu Jing said with a smile, while looking at Zhang Yuxuan's expression, and found that Zhang Yuxuan's face
There was no rejection or perfunctory look, and he was slightly relieved. After all, some people, after becoming rich, are less willing to contact old friends and will look down on them. Zhang Yuxuan is obviously not like that. This makes Wu Jing feel good.
A lot.
But then I looked at Yuxuan Zhang and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I went to Xiangjiang and didn't do well, but now you are prosperous. Not only have you become the leading actor of the highest-grossing movie in the country, but you have also appeared in the Spring Festival Gala of Yangma.
.”
"Good luck, I'm just lucky." Zhang Yuxuan waved his hand.
"Hey, the few movies I've starred in have all become hits, and they're all quite popular, and I'm even on the Spring Festival Gala. This is not a matter of luck." Wu Jing said with a smile.
"Haha, what about you? How about over there in Xiangjiang?" Zhang Yuxuan asked politely.
"Me?" Wu Jing curled her lips, with a bit of self-mockery on her face: "For a mainlander like me, it's hard to get along in Xiangjiang. Even if I can fight, it's useless, so I can only act a little.
Supporting characters, or villains, are all characters with no good image anyway. Nowadays, if you can't achieve a high level or a low level, if you had known, you might as well not have gone to Xiangjiang."
"Oh, it's not easy for us mainlanders to get along over there in Xiangjiang!" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but patted Wu Jing on the shoulder: "People look down on us at all, and think that we are just begging for food from them."
"Yes!" Wu Jing sighed with emotion as she nodded.
When Zhang Yuxuan went to Hong Kong to make a guest appearance, he was tricked by the people in Hong Kong. This was just one time when Zhang Yuxuan went to Hong Kong to make a guest appearance. As for Wu Jing, he went to Hong Kong in 2003 and started to work. Over the years, the discrimination he has received is definitely better than that of Zhang Yuxuan.
There were many more encounters. But Wu Jing endured them all.
"I think you shouldn't have gone to Xiangjiang in the first place." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.
"Who knew that our mainland's movies have developed so fast in recent years. I didn't expect it. If I had known the development speed of our movies here, I would never have gone to Xiangjiang and suffered that." Wu Jing couldn't help but say
.
"If that's the case, then come back?"
"Come back? I ran all the way to Xiangjiang, hung out for so many years, and got nothing out of it, and then ran back in despair? How embarrassing!" Wu Jing shook her head, and then said with a smile: "Besides, in Xiangjiang
All the years I spent there were not in vain. I wrote a script and prepared to recruit a crew, and we will start filming directly after the Chinese New Year."
"Did you create the script and crew yourself?"
"Yes. After all, I can only play a small supporting role or a small villain in other people's dramas. So I simply wrote a script and filmed a story myself, so that I can be the protagonist." Wu Jing chuckled.
"It's fine to write a script by yourself and be the protagonist." Zhang Yuxuan smiled and nodded. This is indeed a way. For someone like Wu Jing, it can even be said to be a pretty good way.
"You think it's okay, too. Hehe, I think so too. By the way, do you want to come and make a guest appearance on my crew?" Wu Jing smiled and extended an invitation to Yuxuan Zhang.
"If your movie is shot in the Mainland, I will definitely come if you invite me, but if the shooting place is over there in Xiangjiang, forget it. I don't like going there very much." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head, very calmly.
Said.
"...Okay, let's forget it this time. If I go to the mainland to film next time, I will definitely invite you." Wu Jing looked at Zhang Yuxuan's attitude, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Although he didn't quite understand Zhang Yuxuan and Xiangjiang Zhi
What happened in the room, but since Zhang Yuxuan didn’t go into details, he couldn’t ask further, but he couldn’t help but feel a little pity in his heart. With Zhang Yuxuan’s current reputation in the film industry, if Zhang Yuxuan could come to make a cameo in his movie,
Maybe it can bring a lot of profit.
However, Wu Jing is not considered a shameless person now. If Zhang Yuxuan refused, he could not save the dignity to re-invite.
"Then congratulations on the success of your movie and the box office sales." Yuxuan Zhang congratulated.
"Thank you, and I wish you will become more and more popular in the future." Wu Jing congratulated her in turn.
As he said that, the two people laughed.
Then Wu Jing began to talk about her experience after going to Xiangjiang.
When Wu Jing went to Xiangjiang before, he was also influenced by his senior brother Li Lianjie.
After all, after Li Lianjie filmed the movie "Shaolin Temple", he entered the field of vision in Hong Kong, and then entered Hong Kong and became one of the most popular kung fu stars in Hong Kong. He even used Hong Kong as a springboard to enter Hollywood. Even now Li Lianjie can win
The salary is 15 million U.S. dollars. This is a lot of money.
As for Wu Jing, as Li Lianjie's junior brother, he has also won many awards. He feels that he can do what his senior brother can do.
So I went to Xiangjiang without any hesitation.
But after he went to Xiangjiang, he discovered that Xiangjiang was completely different from what he imagined.
It can be said that after Wu Jing arrived in Xiangjiang, she found that almost all the people around her were bad people.
Wu Jing has been called mainland boy, mainland chicken, locust, laobiao, acan, etc. by people in Xiangjiang.
I was discriminated against because I didn’t speak Cantonese, I was discriminated against because of what I was wearing, and even because of my identity.
Many times, Wu Jing was pointed at and scolded for no apparent reason.
For this reason, Wu Jing couldn't help but take action many times.
But after taking action, it was Wu Jing who suffered the loss.
Others scolded Wu Jing, and after Wu Jing took action, he was greeted by a group of people beating him up. People in Xiangjiang simply didn't care too much when facing Wu Jing.
Sometimes, Wu Jing was even arrested by the police and sent to the police station.
When filming, the crew eats, and many times other people's lunch boxes are better than Wu Jing's.
Wu Jing also received the lowest salary. Good roles rarely fell to Wu Jing.
From what Wu Jing said, his life there was not too miserable.
"However, although most people there are bad people, there are still some good people. I also made several friends there. This time I wrote the script and decided to direct and act myself. It was also their encouragement and support
..." Wu Jing said with a smile.
"Well. If you really can't survive there, then come back -"
"I will definitely come back after I become successful there." Wu Jing raised her eyebrows, her tone mixed with stubbornness.
Seeing Wu Jing's behavior, Leslie Cheung stopped trying to persuade him. So he turned to talk about the movie Wu Jing directed and starred in.
"How is the investment going for your movie? How much is the total investment? Have you secured investment?" asked Yuxuan Zhang.
"Investment - Hey, I'm just a low-level actor. I've never been a director before. Even though I've produced a script, how can those big investors and big bosses think highly of me?" When Wu Jing said this, her tone
Mixed with self-deprecation.
"How much is the investment in your movie?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.
"Thirty million. I estimate that thirty million is about right." Wu Jing said calmly.
"Thirty million? That's a lot! You are a new director, and your first movie cost 30 million. No wonder no one is willing to invest. You know, Charlotte's investment is not that much." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but
said.
"Brother, this is Xiangjiang over there! How high are the prices in Xiangjiang? Actors' salaries are not low. It's a lot of money to hire just a few slightly famous people. 30 million, my budget is already
It's pretty tight." Wu Jing shook her head and said.
"What you said makes sense, but unfortunately, with so much money, no one will invest in a new director, especially since you are from the mainland." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.
"Oh, I know that too. That's why I'm worried." Wu Jing sighed.
"Originally, I wanted to ask you how much you would invest in the film and then invest it. But with such a huge amount of money, let's forget it." Zhang Yuxuan said very calmly.
"Hey, with your current net worth, 30 million shouldn't be too much. Your current salary shouldn't be low." Wu Jing didn't care about what Leslie Cheung said.
"The remuneration is not low, but you still have to be cautious when investing in things like this. After all, my money doesn't come from the strong wind. If it were a few million, I would have just invested it, 30 million -" Zhang Yuxuan said again.
Shake his head.
"If it's several million, do I still need you to invest? I've been working for so many years, but I haven't saved several million yet." Wu Jing rolled her eyes.
"That's right. No matter how difficult it is for us stars, no matter how poor we are, we still have a sum of money in our hands that ordinary people can't match." Zhang Yuxuan nodded, and he thought of the magical Guan Gu in later generations, because of his character and emotional intelligence.
The problem is, I haven’t filmed in a few years, but when I was at my poorest, I still had a million dollars in deposits in my bank card.
"But making a movie requires money. My money is still far behind the 30 million. How about you lend me some, I will take out my savings, and then you lend me some more, and then I will
If you find some friends to join in, you should be able to raise some money." Wu Jing rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang Yuxuan with a smile, with a flattering expression on her face: "Now that you are a big boss, you should not be short of a few dollars.
Right."
Seeing Wu Jing like this, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Wu Jing, you have to think clearly. If you invest by yourself, if you don't do it right, you will lose everything."
"I know, but I really can't help it. As you said, I'm a new director and I'm from the mainland. There are no investors willing to invest in my movie. Let alone 30 million in one go. So there's nothing I can do.
, I have no choice but to raise money myself. Although I may not be able to raise 30 million, 20 million should be about the same. If I work harder, I can still make it. As for losing money - I directed the movie anyway, and I am also the protagonist.
Acting, there is nothing I can do if I lose money." Wu Jing explained.
Hearing what Wu Jing said, it was hard for Zhang Yuxuan to say anything.
"How about you be the protagonist? With your current reputation, if you are the protagonist, there should be no shortage of investment." Wu Jing said, looking at Yuxuan Zhang with bright eyes.
"Not so good!" Zhang Yuxuan said angrily: "Don't try to influence me. I don't want the fame I finally earned to fall directly into your hands."
"Hey, isn't it? You don't trust me so much?"
"Who told you that you have never been a director? Besides, the movie you want to make is a kung fu movie, right?"
"Yeah, Kung Fu movie."
"I'm not good at it! The most important thing is to make kung fu movies. It's very tiring and dangerous. I'm doing a good job in comedy now. It's not exposed to wind or rain. Why do I have to work so hard to make a kung fu movie?"
-The most important thing is that you will be the director of your script and the leading role will be given to me. Are you willing?" Zhang Yuxuan finally looked at Wu Jing seriously.
Yuxuan Zhang has said so much before, but the last sentence is the key point.
Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "How can I be willing, but there is no way, I am the protagonist, I can't attract investment."
"Actually, if you want to invest, I can help you think of a way." Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wu Jing and said.
Wu Jing's eyes lit up, he believed in Zhang Yuxuan. After all, Zhang Yuxuan is so famous now, there will always be some investors who take the initiative to find Zhang Yuxuan, so it is normal for Zhang Yuxuan to have some investment channels.
"Wu Jing, coal boss. I don't know if you have heard of it." Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wu Jing with a smile and said.
"Boss Coal?" Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Boss Mei has started to enter the entertainment industry in the past two years, but all they have come into contact with are the entertainment circles in the mainland.
It’s not that Mr. Mei doesn’t want to invest in movies in Xiangjiang, it’s mainly because the film industry in Xiangjiang is relatively closed, and Mr. Mei doesn’t have the channels to get in touch with it.
Not many people in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle know about Boss Mei, and Wu Jing lives in Xiangjiang and works hard at the bottom every day, so she has no chance to know about Boss Mei.
"In recent years, coal bosses have begun to appear frequently in the industry. They are really rich. Even some coal bosses can use their property to buy more than 90% of the rich people in the country.
Crush it. In the past two years, many coal bosses have waved their checks and want to invest in movies, and for the movies they invest, in addition to the heroine, whether it is the script, the crew, the director or other actors
, they never interfere. If the movie makes money, they will happily distribute the money as bonuses. If they lose money, as long as they don't regard them as fools, they won't care. It can be said that the best in the entertainment industry now
Investors are these coal bosses..." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.
Wu Jing's eyes turned green at this time. What kind of coal boss was that Zhang Yuxuan was talking about? He was clearly the God of Wealth!
