Chapter 72: Reporters Visit the Set

Zhang Chen’s verbal attack was not in vain. For the sake of his own bonus, Zhang Xiaobei also spared no effort to lobby the editor-in-chief.

(Block modification...)
The incident, which had been gradually dying down, was reignited.

Other media followed suit.

It's like suppressing one problem but creating another.

Wang Jing looked at the newspaper on the coffee table with hatred.

If he could turn back time, he would never provoke the media, let alone let things get to this point.

I just can't understand why the Beijing circle was blown up.

And it’s not over yet.

He used all his connections to finally suppress the heat, but then someone named Zhang Chen showed up and attacked him.

"Can anyone tell me who this Zhang Chen is, and whether the Beijing circle is over?"

No one could give him an answer.

But he got lucky this time.

They also sent someone to calm him down and give him enough benefits.

After the two sides reached an agreement, the matter was perfectly settled.

Then, the relevant reports in the newspapers could not be found.

Zhang Chen was filming when he received a call from Teacher Fu.

"Why are you publicly blasting the crew of "Little Fish and Flower" for no reason? Someone found the school through connections, and the school asked me to ask."

Teacher Fu did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

"Huh? These guys are pretty cunning. They actually thought of using the school to punish me."

"Not really. You're a student, so the school will definitely stand on your side. But I also need to understand the whole story. Why are you targeting them?"

"It's nothing, I just can't stand them, so I'm going to mess with them. Fan Binbin's schedule conflicts with mine. If they resume work, I'll have to stop working, so I'm going to cause them some trouble and buy myself some time."

Zhang Chen had nothing to hide in front of the teacher, so he told the truth.

"Is that why?"

"Isn't this reason sufficient enough?"

"Okay, I get it. You should be able to achieve your goal, but you have to be careful. Hong Kong Island may not be good at anything else, but it is very good at smearing people."

"Yes, I will pay attention, teacher."

I had just hung up the phone with Teacher Fu when Han Sanping called again.

The first thing he said was: "Zhang Chen, stop talking..."

Han Boss kept talking...

"Hong Kong has just returned to China, and everything is focused on maintaining stability..."

“Don’t stir up opposition…”

"Hong Kong did something wrong. The relevant authorities have noticed it, but now is not the time to take action. Don't make trouble..."

After being lectured for a long time, his only purpose was to make Zhang Chen shut up.

"Just focus on making your own movies. Don't get involved in these things. It won't do you any good. If you leave a bad impression on the higher-ups, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

Han Sanping was sincere in his words. Zhang Chen's talent in the film industry made him unable to bear to see him drifting away, so he called to remind him.

The interests involved have been made clear, and Zhang Chen is not an ignorant person. He said that he would be obedient and zip up his mouth.

He doesn't care. Anyway, the goal has been achieved. At least before the end of the month, the crew of "The Little Fish and the Flowerless" will not be able to resume work.

that's enough.

During the following period of time, the crew worked overtime like crazy.

The shooting plan was adjusted almost every day, but the progress was very fast.

The "The Shallows" directed by Zhang Chen has made a lot of expansions on the original version, mainly adding more scenes with sharks.

This version of "The Shallows" has more thrilling scenes, and the sharks are smarter and more vengeful.

After another three days of filming, we were finally close to wrapping up. The water tank scenes were basically finished, leaving only the surfing scenes and a few miscellaneous shots at the end.

Near noon, Zhang Chen suddenly received a call saying that someone wanted to visit the set.

Those who came to visit the set included Dong Jianqiang, a reporter from China Entertainment News, and Zhang Xiaobei.

The two groups of people did not agree to come together; they met on the road.

"You're not unwelcome for visiting the set without prior notice, are you?"

"Where."

Zhang Chen stood up to greet them. The beach they chose was very beautiful, with blue sky and beautiful water. The sea surface was like a mirror and had a high degree of transparency.

Near the coast, you can see the seabed at a glance.

"It's so beautiful. It's hard to imagine what kind of story it would be if such a beautiful place was attacked by a shark." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Chen arranged for the interview to take place under the awning where the leading actors were resting, and Fan Binbin was also there.

The reporter made a special trip to visit the set of "The Shallows", not only for gossip, but also to meet the big names.

At this stage, the biggest star in the crew is Fan Binbin, and the new director Zhang Chen can only be ranked second.

The people from Guangguang set up the equipment and prepared for the next interview.

Zhang Chen was actually a little curious about their arrival.

It is understandable that Guangguang is a partner and one of the scheduled distributors. It is understandable that they spontaneously warm up for the movie.

"China Entertainment Report" is the most authoritative and comprehensive entertainment news broadcast in China, and "The Shallows" is the new work of the emerging director Zhang Chen. Following up on the report can not only increase the ratings of the program, but also help promote his own movie. It is a sure win-win situation.

What really surprised him was Zhang Xiaobei.

The two were not familiar with each other before, they had only been interviewed a few times.

But we were not completely unfamiliar with each other, after all, we had a phone call two days ago.

But why would the other party suddenly come to visit the set without saying a word?

Zhang Xiaobei could guess Zhang Chen’s doubts, and he naturally had his own plans.

In the past, he was just a small reporter traveling around everywhere, living from hand to mouth, and relying on big news to make a living.

Since I met Zhang Chen, my bonuses are often higher than my salary.

What does this mean? It means that Zhang Chen is his benefactor.

Especially a few days ago, Zhang Chen suddenly called him and gave him wealth for nothing, which made Zhang Xiaobei realize that he must have a good relationship with this great director Zhang.

To him, even a few words from others are like money.

Zhang Chen didn't know that the person opposite him had already regarded him as a walking RMB, but since the reporter was willing to warm up the movie, he would of course cooperate 100%.

According to the process of "China Entertainment News", the script must be reviewed before the interview, which questions can be asked and which cannot be asked. The reporter must know the bottom line of the interviewee to avoid ending up in a bad mood.

But Zhang Chen said no, and he had no intention of accepting interviews separately.

Everyone agreed that each person would ask a question and take turns asking questions.

The first question Zhang Xiaobei asked was very sharp: "Do you want to talk about what happened two days ago?"

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly: "Let's not talk about this. I was just warned a few days ago not to incite opposition. Let's change to another question, preferably one related to The Shallows."

He sets a trap for her as soon as they meet. It turns out that Zhang Xiaobei is still the same Zhang Xiaobei.

The reporter from China Entertainment News immediately followed up: "Director Zhang, can you tell us why you collaborated with Fan Binbin on this film?"

Yes, this is the correct way to open it. Zhang Chen gave the reporter an appreciative look.

"It was actually a coincidence. When Sister Hua invited me to dinner, I asked if I could meet Mr. Fan Binbin. After all, Mr. Fan had bought a ticket to support the previous movie, The Dark Invasion, and was almost blocked by the media in the cinema.

Then we talked about new movies during dinner. We were originally planning to shoot The Darkness 2, but Che Xiao retired from acting. I happened to have a story for The Shallows, and Mr. Binbin was quite interested, so we thought about collaborating. ”

The camera turned to Zhang Chen, and then to Fan Binbin, who always had a smile on his face.

Now that you have decided to go the glamorous route, start doing it now.

At every moment, especially in front of the camera, Fan Binbin deliberately shows his best side.

After the second question was answered, the questioning right returned to Zhang Xiaobei again, and his question was still sharp: "As far as I know, Miss Fan Binbin's popularity has always been in the field of TV dramas, such as "My Fair Princess". In terms of movies, Miss Fan has only starred in one movie, "Cell Phone". When Director Zhang made the choice, didn't he consider Miss Fan's market appeal?"

In front of the camera, Fan Binbin still had a smile on her face, as if this tricky question had no effect on her at all, but in her heart she had actually greeted Zhang Xiaobei's entire family.

The question was again directed to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen looked at Fan Binbin and then replied, "Actually, everyone has been talking too much about Mr. Binbin's acting skills.

Director Feng is one of the top three directors in our country. The fact that he chose Fan Binbin to star in "Cell Phone" is itself a recognition of Mr. Fan's acting skills.

This is a common problem for all beautiful actresses. People pay too much attention to their appearance and ignore their acting skills and the efforts they put into shaping the characters. "

"Can I understand that you are praising Fan Binbin's beauty?"

The reporter from China Entertainment News protested against Zhang Xiaobei's violation of the rules and continuous questioning.

But Zhang Chen still answered this question:

"Of course, Fan Binbin, even if we only look at his appearance, he is one of the best fighters in the country.

I was stunned when I saw her for the first time. Such a beautiful girl, even Dong Yong would become Chen Shimei if he saw her.

And her acting skills are pretty good, even if she just performs normally, it's enough to handle regular commercial movies. If you don't believe me, you can watch "The Shallows". I guarantee that Ms. Fan's performance in this movie will definitely shock everyone."

Zhang Chen's exaggerated performance immediately made everyone present laugh, even the staff who were watching the fun nearby were amused.

Fan Binbin covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

The reporter from Entertainment News immediately seized the opportunity and asked, "Ms. Fan Binbin, do you have anything to say about Director Zhang's evaluation?"

Fan Binbin looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes, and smiled so hard that her body shook. After a while, she said, "I... I thank Director Zhang for his affirmation of me. I know that I am beautiful, but this is the first time I have been praised like this. Thank you Director Zhang...

By the way, The Shallows is a really good movie. The plot alone is very gripping, and there are also realistic special effects. I also contributed a lot of acting skills in it. If you like me and Director Zhang, please support this movie. "

Like Zhang Chen, Fan Binbin never forgets to promote the movie.
