Chapter 89 Got it wrong

Rongxingda

Yang Xiaomi was browsing online comments in front of the computer.

At the beginning of this month, Rong Xingda's highly anticipated drama "Royal Family" finally started airing.

"The Story of Red Mansions" is completely comparable to "The Story of a Noble Family" and can be considered the sister work of "The Story of a Noble Family".

The team used is the same as that of "The Story of a Noble Family", and it is also adapted from another novel by Zhang Henshui, and the director is also Li Dawei.

But the results are very different.

"The Story of a Noble Family" was broadcast on CCTV Channel 7.68. It became an instant hit once it was aired, and ultimately achieved an average audience rating of %.

It also made a lot of stars famous, including Chen Kun, Dong Jie, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang...

After "The Story of a Noble Family", Chen Kun became the top young actor in mainland China, Dong Jie signed a contract with Wang Mojing's Zedong Film and Television and moved to the Hong Kong market, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang also came to the fore and became good friends.

But "Peach Blossom Family" is completely different. As soon as it was released, it collided with two great TV series "A Chinese Divorce" and "Detective Dee", and was badly beaten.

Word of mouth isn't good either.

People scold me every day.

Yang Xiaomi couldn't help but click on the comments every time, but after reading them, she blamed herself for not being able to do it.

Just when I was regretting it, Zeng Jia pushed the door open and came in: "Mi Mi, hurry up and put on your makeup. Sister Xiao Wan has an appointment tonight and we have to accompany her."

Yang Xiaomi knew something was up when she heard it: "Who did you meet?"

"The one you've been talking about a lot lately."

Yang Xiaomi stood up suddenly, her eyes shining: "Zhang Chen? Are you talking about Zhang Chen from "Dark Invasion"? "

Zeng Jia nodded.

Yang Xiaomi cheered: "That's great."

After turning around, he asked again: "Are you introducing me to a role?"

Zeng Jia did not hide it from her: "We do have this plan. The company wants to recommend you to star in his new film, but this is only the first time we meet. We have to meet in person to know whether it will work or not, so you better be smart later..."

……

Hotel private room
When Zhang Chen and Teacher Fu came in, the other party had already arrived. When he saw them come in, he stood up to greet them.

"Sorry, sorry, we are late~"

Teacher Fu apologized repeatedly as soon as he entered the door.

"No, no, the time is just right, we came early." Li Xiaowan's side hurriedly responded politely.

"Sister Xiaowan, hello. I finally met you in person today. I really like the "Da Ming Palace Ci" you produced."

Li Xiaowan is a senior, and Zhang Chen must say good things about her when they meet for the first time.

"Director Zhang, you're too polite." Li Xiaowan waved her hand.

You're really not being polite.

Zhang Chen watched "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life" in high school in his previous life. He can't remember the plot clearly now, but he remembers two points.

One is Princess Taiping played by Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun when she was young was like an elf, and the innocence of Princess Taiping in the early days was portrayed vividly by her.

The other one is Ci, otherwise it would be called "Ci of the Daming Palace". The lines of the whole play are very sophisticated, and the poetry is beautiful and gorgeous.

At that time, Zhang Chen was in high school and had already acquired a certain level of appreciation. It was the first time in his life that he felt the classical beauty of Chinese culture.

It’s strange to say, there are many good dramas in this period, such as "Kangxi's Private Visits", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", "The Grand Mansion Gate", "Kangxi Dynasty", "The Palace of Ming Dynasty", "A Step into the Past"...

There were no more such events later on. TV dramas and movies became worse and worse, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas and anti-Japanese war dramas dominated all major channels for a long time.

Several people sat down and introduced themselves to each other.

"I'm Zeng Jia, the artist director of Rong Xingda, and these are Yang Mi and Lin Shen from our company."

Zhang Chen shook hands with the three of them one by one.

Yang Xiaomi is one of the characters that cannot be avoided in Chinese entertainment novels. Like Han Sanping and Ning Hao, she is one of the most frequently appearing characters.

She has played the leading female role almost as many times as Liu Tianxian, but her reviews are mixed, with both praise and criticism.

However, Yang Xiaomi at this time was obviously not as pretty as she is in later generations, and she still had a square face.

The other Zhang Chen is also familiar, Lin Shen, who has not yet changed his name to Lin Yushen.

Zeng Jia only introduced him as an actor, but Zhang Chen knew that he was actually the prince of Rong Xingda, and his mother was Li Xiaowan in front of him.

Seeing that everyone already knew each other, Li Xiaowan spoke up, "I'm sorry to ask Director Zhang out today on behalf of Teacher Fu. I want to get to know each other and build a good relationship. We're all in the same industry, and we may work together someday."

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, Teacher Fu took over the conversation: "Hey, Teacher Li, you are too polite. Rong Xingda is a leader in the industry and has produced countless classics. Zhang Chen is just a newcomer. To be honest, I still have a lot to learn from you."

Teacher Fu was afraid that his students didn't understand the business of flattering each other, so he taught them on the spot.

Zhang Chen also hurriedly agreed.

Li Xiaowan smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Director Zhang's first film was a horror film, and the first film of another founder of Rongxingda was also a horror film."

Zhang Chen knew who she was talking about, Li Shaohong.

His debut work is "Silver Snake Murder Case", a rare film in the history of domestic films that depicts gangs robbing gangs and perverted serial killers. It is very impressive after watching it.

"I heard that Director Zhang's new play has been completed?" Zeng Jia interrupted at the right time. Zhang Chen nodded: "Yes, it's called "The Shallows", about sharks. It was completed at the end of last month and is currently in post-production."

Zeng Jia showed admiration: "Director Zhang is really amazing, no one in China has tried this kind of subject matter, Director Zhang is really daring to be the first in the world~"

The group was chatting. Li Xiaowan and Teacher Fu were of the same age, so they talked the most.

Zhang Chen's side is 1VS3.

"Director Shao Hong is preparing to shoot 'Three Crossroads'."

"'Three Crossroads'? 'Three Crossroads' by Zhou Dedong? I know this novel."

"Yes, but Director Shao Hong will definitely not film it strictly according to the original novel."

Zhang Chen just happened to know about this movie. It was said that the filming was very bad. With an investment of 3000 million, the box office was only more than 200 million, which was a loss to his grandmother's family.

But Li Shaohong doesn't care. The industry may be stubborn: "Once a work is finished, I almost lose interest in it. I prefer the kind that moves forward. I don't really care about the box office. Anyway, there will definitely be people who like it!"

To sum it up in one sentence, I don’t care about the box office.

Damn it, if you don’t care about the box office, what kind of company are you running?

But it’s not wrong to say that they are at their peak now.

I still haven’t watched “The Oranges Are Red”, but would it have won an award after it was filmed?
So, it is customary that she does not shoot according to the original work.

A few of them chatted casually, without any concrete content, just to keep in touch.

No one starts talking about business right away. We only start talking about business after we have eaten and drunk well and have established a good relationship.

Before that, it’s all about building up your favorability.

When the conversation was almost over, Zeng Jia finally spoke up: "I heard that Director Zhang is preparing a new film, "Darkness 2", and I wonder if there are any suitable roles for our Mimi and Lin Shen. They both have good acting skills and just finished filming "Red House", and they are all fans of you, Director Zhang."

Having been an artist director for such a long time, she has come into contact with more than one or two directors and believes that she has a relatively good understanding of this group.

When getting along with them, just praise them.

Especially when it comes to young directors like Zhang Chen, they are particularly susceptible to this.

Zhang Chen heard this and looked at Yang Xiaomi with a smile: "Why, Miss Yang also likes "Darkness Invasion"?"

According to the rehearsal in the car, Yang Xiaomi should have said at this time: "Yes, it's too scary. I covered my eyes to watch it in the cinema."

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaomi didn't follow the script at all and suddenly said, "Director Zhang, can I ask a question?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Not only Zhang Chen, but also Li Xiaowan who was chatting opposite were attracted over.

Yang Xiaomi was still unaware of it, her smiling face turned angry, and the five squares of tender beef turned into six squares.

"I just want to know, why did you write Juno to death?"

"Ah?" Zhang Chen thought he had heard it wrong.

"Juno, such a brave person. I like her best in the whole movie, but you wrote her to death."

Yang Xiaomi repeated the question again with resentment in her tone: "I just want to know why you wrote her to death?"

Zeng Jia was a little anxious. She thought Yang Xiaomi must have taken the wrong medicine today. She had to behave like this for no reason.

Just as he was about to make amends, Zhang Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It seems that Ms. Yang is a real fan. Then I will explain that Juno is not dead at all. Not only did she survive, but she is also the heroine of the sequel."

This time, not only Yang Xiaomi was dumbfounded, but Zeng Jia and Li Xiaowan also showed surprised expressions.

Juno is the heroine, doesn't that mean the heroine has already been decided?
They originally wanted to fight for it, but now it seems that there is no hope.

Lin Shen next to him suddenly became anxious: "What about the male lead? Has the male lead been decided? Director Zhang, do you think I have a chance?"

Zhang Chen did not give an immediate answer, but turned to look at Lin Shen.

What can I say about Lin Shen? His appearance is actually quite in line with Zhang Chen's aesthetic.

He is similar to Gao Shuguang in type, not one with handsome features, but he looks quite handsome.

However, there is a flaw in his performance. Like Xie Bi Wang, he likes to be too pretentious.

To put it simply, it means that you like to show off.

It would be nice to play a domineering CEO, but it would be a bit out of touch with reality to play an ordinary role.

Maybe it's because of this that he just can't become popular. He is obviously a second-generation star, with countless resources at his disposal, but he just can't become popular.

Yang Yang has been his supporting actor for 10 years, and even though Yang Yang has become famous, he is still not.

I can only say that the old saying is right: small fire depends on support, big fire depends on luck.

"There is no absolute male protagonist in Dark Rising 2. The only one with more roles has already been decided, and the rest are minor supporting roles.

In addition, your information is wrong. I am not the director of "Dark Raid 2", nor even the producer. At most, I am a supervisor or producer.

The director is Ning Hao, my senior and the cinematographer of Darkness 1. If you are willing, I can recommend you to him, but whether it can be finalized depends on the director. Oh, sorry, I have to go to the bathroom first. "

After saying this, in order to avoid embarrassment, Zhang Chen pretended to go to the bathroom.

It's quite embarrassing.

Zeng Jia didn't know what to say, and neither did Li Xiaowan. He was the one who made the appointment, but he didn't even have the intelligence.
