Chapter 174 Protecting Weaknesses
Chapter 174 Protecting Weaknesses
Just when Li Qian sat down again, Xu Zheng, who was not far away, also noticed Wang Hao's figure and immediately came forward.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, why are you here?"
There was a bright smile on Xu Zheng's round face, and there was a hint of intimacy in his words.
It won't work without intimacy.
Although Xu Zheng has become a movie star because of "Fatal Call", it is a big step forward.
But the rise in Wang Hao's fame can no longer be described as a step forward, it is simply a leap.
It can be said that the movie "Wushuang" has laid a solid foundation for Wang Hao.
Collaborating with Aaron Kwok, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Hollywood superstar Liam Neeson, the film was released in both China and the United States, and became the second film in mainland China to break the 200 million mark at the box office after Zhang Guoshi.
All these things show that there is a new star rising in the Chinese film and television industry.
Compared to him, what is a little star like me?
This is also the reason why after the huge success of "Fatal Call", Xu Zheng still chose to star in "Lost on Journey" for a low salary.
Isn't the purpose to establish good relations with Wang Hao and Xinghe Interactive Entertainment?
Wang Hao also understood this in his heart. He knew the shrewdness of this guy in front of him who seemed harmless and even a little funny.
This kind of person can be cooperated with, but is not worthy of close friendship, and cannot be made a close friend.
So Wang Hao smiled slightly and said:
"After all, this movie is our company's project, and Xiao Li is a new director, so I naturally have to come and take a look, so that I can have a better idea of what's going on."
Xu Zheng laughed when he heard this and said:
“Director Wang, you are also a new director, but the achievements you have made are no less than those of the older generation like Zhang Guoshi. Director Li is naturally not bad to work under you, so you can rest assured.
I heard that the script of "Lost on Journey" was written by you. We read it many times and it gets better and better each time we read it.
With this kind of story as the basis, plus it’s being released during the Spring Festival travel rush, the right time, right place, and right people are all in place, it will definitely be a hit!”
Guangtou Xu spoke these words of flattery extremely naturally, without any flattery at all, which greatly surprised the crew members who had worked with him for several months.
You have to know that during the time on the crew, although Xu Zheng did not put on star airs or act like a big shot, he was not very close to the people working behind the scenes.
Even when facing director Li Qian and producer Liu Wenwen, Xu Zheng always maintains a businesslike attitude.
So this was the first time they saw Xu Zheng in this posture.
"Then I'll lend you my blessing. Since Brother Zheng is so optimistic about this movie, I'll need your help to look after it on the set on weekdays.
Xiao Li and the others are new, so please bear with them if there are any inappropriate things. "
Wang Hao seemed unaware of the strange behavior of the staff around him and continued talking with a smile on his face.
Xu Zheng also nodded repeatedly, patting his chest and assuring, "Sure! Sure!"
At this time, the staff in the center of the venue have finished their work and will soon begin filming the next scene.
Wang Hao did not delay them too long and nodded to signal Li Qian to continue filming.
Xu Zheng also returned to his seat, adjusted his mood, and began to perform with great devotion accompanied by the "da" sound of playing cards.
In this scene, Ma Chenggong, who is sitting down, meets two scalpers who are selling second-hand mobile phones and try to sell them to him.
After the scene was shot, Li Qian called out "Cut" and was about to call out "Pass" when Wang Hao, who was sitting next to her, asked softly, "Is this a pass?"
"This……"
Li Qian turned her head to look at him with a puzzled look on her face. Before she could say anything, Wang Hao added, "Of course, you are the director, so it goes!"
Li Qian was stunned at first, then looked at Xu Zheng and Wang Hao beside her with some hesitation, and finally shouted: "Say this again!"
The crew members stepped forward and got busy, and soon filming began again.
After the shooting, Li Qian subconsciously looked at Wang Hao again.
This time Wang Hao didn't even look at her, he just said: "You are the director, this is your crew, you make your own decision."
Li Qian had a clue in her mind, and her voice became louder, "No, Brother Zheng, you have to show a little disdain!"
The shooting started again. This time, Wang Hao didn't need to say anything, Li Qian shouted "cut".
After being rejected again and again, Xu Zheng subconsciously frowned and opened his mouth to speak.
However, when he saw Wang Hao sitting next to Li Qian and remembered what Wang Hao had just said to him, his heart suddenly trembled, as if he understood something.
After that, this scene was repeated three times before Li Qian shouted "cut".
During this process, Xu Zheng was quite cooperative and did not show any dissatisfaction. The many behind-the-scenes workers in the crew, watching this silent drama, finally knew who had the final say in the crew.
After finishing today's scenes, the crew returned to the hotel in Jiangcheng.
Since the boss has arrived, they cannot just have a simple meal that night. They have to eat something good.
However, when faced with the idea of Li Qian and others to show hospitality, Wang Hao waved his hand.
"It's a rare trip to Jiangcheng. I'm leaving tomorrow, so I might as well take this opportunity to try some local specialties."
Since the boss had said so, several important actors, directors and producers had no objections.
But where exactly should I eat this?
Wang Hao actually took the lead.
He just walked out of the hotel gate, and didn't take a car. He just walked along the streets of Jiangcheng. He found an alley and turned into it, then slowed down and strolled leisurely.
While strolling around, everyone soon smelled some tempting fragrance in the air, trying to stir their nerves.
This flavor?!
Wang Hao sniffed, followed the scent, and soon arrived at a barbecue stall.
Next to the barbecue stove at the stall, near the corner, a row of blackened clay pots with patina on them were placed on the coal stove.
This is what Jiangcheng people often call the wok, and inside the wok, the fresh fragrance of lotus root mixed with the mellow aroma of pork ribs are gushing out along with the rich steam.
Coupled with the smell of carbon monoxide produced by the burning coal stove, this creates a unique Jiangcheng flavor that cannot be replicated anywhere else, and also shows the historical imprint of this city to tourists from other places.
"Let's go with this one. Come on, take a seat! Come on, take a seat! Madam, take your order!"
Wang Hao smelled the familiar aroma, nodded with satisfaction, and called on the people behind him to sit down at the restaurant's dining table, which was also almost covered with patina. He could not help but saliva was already secreted in his mouth.
