Chapter 73 Halftime break and marrying into a wealthy family

The interview lasted about half an hour, after which the Guangguang people and Zhang Xiaobei shot some more footage and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Zhang Chen naturally gave two big red envelopes.

He has always been careful to maintain good relations with the media.

There have been incidents in the crews of both "The King's Avatar" and "House of Flying Daggers" where staff members beat up reporters.

"The King's Woman 2" was filmed at Duoyi River in Yunnan. Several reporters tracked down the scene and took secret photos, but were beaten by more than a dozen staff members. Afterwards, 50 media reporters across the country issued a joint letter to condemn this atrocity, which brought great negative impact to the film.

The crew of "House of Flying Daggers" also filmed at the tea mountain and bamboo sea in Yongchuan, Chongqing. Before the filming started, the staff clashed with more than 10 reporters who came to visit the set. Both sides fought each other and the incident even alarmed the local 110.

This caused Zhang Yimou to be involved in a lot of lawsuits.

Of course, Zhang Chen would never make the same mistake again. He always had a smile on his face when dealing with the media and tried his best to give them convenience.

It's not easy for everyone, we just have to make a living.

After the visit, the crew resumed filming.

The water tank scenes have all been shot, leaving only the surfing scenes and some miscellaneous shots at the end. If these are shot quickly, they can be finished in one day. If they are slow, they can be finished in a day and a half at most.

Miss Fan is also very hardworking. She used her spare time from filming to learn how to surf.

The coach's honest evaluation of her was that although she had not yet reached the professional level, it was good enough to handle filming.

Look, these are the film and television people of this period.

Even Fan Binbin, who started out as a hype artist, has an impeccable work attitude.

It is totally incomparable with those young handsome guys in later generations.

Actors of this era, even those playing minor supporting roles, are ten blocks ahead of those traffic stars in terms of professionalism.

Looking at their numerous announcements, they can be considered exaggerated at most, but definitely not unworthy of their positions. This is the biggest difference between them and the traffic stars of later generations.

A lot of time was wasted on the set visit. Zhang Chen looked at the sky and thought that if he wanted to shoot the surfing scene, it might not be enough time, so he decided to just shoot the odds and ends at the end.

The ending designed by Zhang Chen is very simple. After Ji Qingchen killed the shark, he fell into a coma. Just at this time, the little boy found the DV and found a guide.

The guide found Ji Qingchen who was washed up by the waves on the beach and rescued her after some operations.

"Lights, camera ready,

Last scene, third shot, first time,
action~"

As the order was given, Zhang Chen, who acted as a guide, ran over from a distance following the little boy.

Ji Qingchen's personal belongings were still scattered on the beach, but there was no sign of him.

The guide searched around anxiously and finally found Ji Qingchen who was in a coma.

After repeated calls failed to wake him up, the guide began to rescue him.

The crew specifically consulted professional paramedics in this regard, and all actions were in the most standard manner.

Lay Fan flat on his back with his head turned to one side to remove foreign objects from his mouth and avoid suffocation.

Then Zhang Chen placed his hand on Fan's heart outside his chest, pressed 30 times simultaneously, and then pinched his nose to perform artificial respiration twice.

Well, there was nothing erotic about the whole process. Zhang Chen was very serious. This was a filming.

In addition, he also expressed disdain for this small scene. After all, they have done more excessive things, and rubbing the rabbit is really nothing big.

But everyone doesn’t think so.

That’s Fan Binbin.

Director Zhang must have had a special purpose in designing this scene for himself.

The assistant director thought he had found the correct key, and then in the next shooting, such a simple shot he was frantically shouting "click~".

Only Chen Xi had an auntie smile on her face the whole time. You people don’t know anything about your director at all.

This is not Chen Xi's fault. If it were anyone else, and they ran into the director every morning, especially at the door of Fan Binbin's room, they would probably have the same reaction as her.

……

At the same time, in a high-end hotel in Beijing

The crew of "A World Without Thieves" held a wrap party. After the party, Feng Xiaogang and a few friends gathered together to smoke and chat.

Chen Daoming was still dressed like a cultured person, and spoke slowly: "Xiaogang, A World Without Thieves is your transitional work, how do you feel about it?"

The latter curled his lips: "Well, how should I put it, it is definitely more advanced than what I had before."

Feng Xiaogang was actually very satisfied with "A World Without Thieves". His films had previously been criticized for "not being able to cross the Yangtze River" and "being just a collection of jokes piled up with segments".

Although he seems not to care about this matter on the surface, he actually takes it very seriously.

He is actually a very sensitive person, but he is used to hiding this sensitivity by being careless.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang was still pursuing progress, wanting to transform and change people's inherent views.

So we have this "A World Without Thieves", which can be regarded as his transitional work.

This film no longer has the poverty of Beijing accent, but has something more profound.

Although it still falls into the category of comedy, there are obviously fewer jokes and it spends more time telling a story.

"Has the schedule been set?"

"It's settled. The premiere will be on December 12th. You must come then."

Director Chen smiled and waved his hand: "It's enough to have Uncle Ge. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

Feng Xiaogang smiled and said, "No, let's go and watch Uncle Ge's performance. Besides, Zhou Xingxing's grandson's Kung Fu will be released in 20 days. I'm under a lot of pressure. You have to come and help me to relax."

The two have a very good relationship, and Chen Daoming has always been an actor that Feng admires.

"Okay, I'll be there when the time comes."

Hearing Chen Daoming's agreement, Feng Xiaogang finally smiled.

At this time, Ge You next to him teased: "Okay, stop grinning, your teeth will show if you grin again, haha~"

Feng Xiaogang was amused, and several people in the room laughed too.

Ge You then asked again: "Daoming, I heard that someone embarrassed those Hong Kong people again a few days ago. Was it you who found that person?"

He asked this because it was Director Chen who instigated the announcement. He has always been the leader. Director Chen shook his head: "No, the court has already made the ruling, and the result is fair. Why am I still making a fuss?"

"Oh, I was wondering, this is not your style."

"Hmm? So what's my style?"

Wang Zhonglei took over the conversation: "If it was Dao Ming, he would definitely stand up and confront him head-on. Speaking of which, that boy has quite a bit of your style."

"Why, do you know that person?"

"know."

Wang Zhonglei pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said, "He's from Beijing Film Academy, his name is Zhang Chen."

Beijing Film Academy is Beijing Film Academy, just like the Central Academy of Drama is the People's Art Theatre, they are all one family.

The three major forces in the Beijing circle are Beijing Film Academy, People’s Art Theatre, and Children from the Creative Academy.

It’s just that Beijing Film Academy and People’s Art Theatre are usually relatively low-key, making people feel that they have little presence, but they actually have great energy.

Ge You said "Oh" and smiled, "At first I thought he was a newcomer in our circle?"

Wang Zhong shook his head: "He is not from our circle. I have discussed him with Xiaogang. Xiaogang's evaluation of him is that he is good at making money."

……

At night, Zhang Chen and Fan Binbin got together again in the crew hotel.

What?
Of course, do exercise.

Teacher Binbin will be leaving after filming the last scene tomorrow. Today is our last chance, and we must decide the outcome with her no matter what.

Zhang Chen just didn't believe it. Sun Wukong had only fought the White Bone Demon three times. He, the Monkey King, had fought it so many times, so why couldn't he subdue this fox demon?

On the bed, the beautiful vixen Fan was staring at Sun Wukong with a pair of enchanting eyes. Apparently, the golden hoop weighing 13,500 kilograms had no deterrent effect on her.

"Fairy, take my stick~"

The battle is about to break out.

After just a few rounds, Zhang Chen realized something was wrong. Feeling that his moves had been figured out, he transformed again, becoming Zhao Zilong on a white horse and with a silver spear.

Judging from the situation, we are going to kill him seven times in Changbanpo today.

Unfortunately, Fan Binbin is not given for nothing.

The female warriors in the Shark Shore bravely fight big sharks during the day and subdue small sharks at night.

Zhao Zilong used all his strength and his spear shot out like a dragon.

But all the moves were resolved one by one by the female warrior, and she was unable to do anything to the opponent in a short period of time.

Zhao Zilong used his family's unique martial arts - attacking Huanglong directly.

Knowing she was no match for her opponent, the female warrior turned around and tried to run, but Zilong grabbed her and dragged her feet back.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he just opened his mouth.

Zhao Zilong immediately felt a sharp pain in his crotch, and it turned out that the female warrior had hidden strong liquor in her mouth.

"Witch, how dare you poison me..."

Zhao Zilong was about to take action, but unexpectedly the witch spat out all the liquor in her mouth and took a mouthful of ice cubes.

hiss~~
What a great combination of ice and fire.

I just felt a chill running through my body.

Zhang Chen shuddered and surrendered.

At halftime, Zhang Chen was slightly at a disadvantage in the first half.

Fan Binbin has developed a habit of talking about things at times like this. Perhaps he feels that his brain is empty and his thoughts are clearest at this time.

“Did you watch the news today?”

"Look, what do you mean?"

"The one with Zhang Ziyi."

"Oh~"

Zhang Chen knew what she was talking about.

Today, almost half of the entertainment pages in print media were reporting one thing - Zhang Ziyi and Huo Qishan were kissing passionately on the street.

To be more specific, Zhang Ziyi and Huo Qishan, the second son of Hong Kong tycoon Huo Zhenting, who is five years younger than her, staged a passionate French kiss in the street.

Haha, this is big news.

Echoing this is another news from a few days ago that the eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Qigang, has fallen in love with Olympic champion Guo Jingjing.

No one knew what was going on with these two brothers throughout the entire month of August. It was as if they were competing with each other, one targeting a female star and the other targeting a female Olympic champion.

"Why, you envy her?"

Just from Fan Binbin's tone, you can tell that she is very envious of Zhang Ziyi. She must be envious that her date is a super rich second-generation.

It’s no wonder that at this stage, the income of celebrities has not taken off, especially female celebrities. They look glamorous on the outside, but their income is actually just so-so.

Of course, it is definitely a lot more than the general public, but much less than male celebrities.

In a play, the male and female protagonists are of similar status, but their pay can differ by several times.

For example, in this year's "House of Flying Daggers", King Liu's salary was about 800 million Hong Kong dollars.

The 1000 million US dollars is purely Zhang Weiping’s propaganda and should not be taken seriously.

A few years later, in "Painted Skin", Zhao Yanzi was at the peak of her popularity, but her pay was only 120 to 150 million.

That's Zhao Yanzi, the Zhao Yanzi who became a god with the two "My Fair Princess" roles. She has all kinds of great resources and has been offered many film contracts, but her pay is only this much, which is nearly 7 times less than that of King Liu.

The same acting, the same amount of work, female stars may have to pay a little more, but the rewards they get are not proportional.

Therefore, female celebrities no longer want to work hard, and marrying into a wealthy family has become a quick way to rise.
