Actor without ambition

Chapter 272 Huang Bo's Choice
"Sister Hua!" Zhang Yuxuan greeted Wang Jinghua with a smile all over his face.

The second day after Wang Jinghua talked with Zhang Yuxuan, she came directly to Zhang Yuxuan.

Obviously, Zhang Yimou's influence was still too great, so that Wang Jinghua couldn't sit still.

"Yuxuan. I won't say much about the rest, I just want to hear what you think. After all, this is a play directed by Zhang Yimou, and you were selected as the leading male lead. This kind of opportunity, I really don't understand why you refused." Wang Jinghua asked the reason very straightforwardly.

"How should I put it, I don't think it will be successful to adapt a foreign film into our national film." Zhang Yuxuan replied.

"What's the reason? Why can't we successfully adapt foreign movies? You can't convince anyone with this kind of reason." Wang Jinghua shook her head.

"Sister Hua, the main reason is that we and foreigners have different ways of thinking, different logics, and even different world views. Based on this difference, we want to adapt a foreign story to our country's. Do you think the story is normal? If the basic logic and world view remain the same, what will it look like when it is adapted into the story of our country? Are the four different? If even the logic and world view are changed, the story will be completely different It will be even more confusing..." Zhang Yuxuan explained.

But Wang Jinghua shook her head: "If we don't understand the thinking logic of foreigners, then why can their movies get so much box office in our country? Just like the Titanic, why can it dominate our domestic box office records for so long? Decades? Also, Xiangjiang’s film Infernal Affairs is loved by Xiangjiang people, and we mainlanders like it. After the copyright was bought, the adaptation into "The Departed Walker" was also a great success. So your argument is completely unreasonable. "

"..." Zhang Yuxuan didn't know what to say when he heard Wang Jinghua say that.

"So, why did you reject director Zhang Yimou's movie invitation? You must know that you are the number one male! Give me an explanation, a reason that can convince me." Wang Jinghua looked at Zhang Yuxuan seriously: "You know, generally Under the circumstances, I will not interfere too much in what choices you make, but I am still very serious about some particularly important matters, just like Bingbing, when she didn't want to act in the movie "Homecoming for the New Year", I will be on the spot She cursed and even slapped her. In the end, she chose to act in that movie, and won the best actress award at the Singapore Film Festival. So Yuxuan, don't give me a chance to scold you or even hit you. "

Zhang Yuxuan looked at Wang Jinghua's serious look, and was a little speechless, because Wang Jinghua looked so serious, it seemed that if Zhang Yuxuan couldn't give her a reasonable explanation, she might really hit someone!
"...How can I explain this? Sister Hua, since I signed a contract under your name, I have made many choices, such as the TV series "Pink Girl" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy". None of them With exceptions, they all made me a great success. Especially "Pink Girl", which made me step into a level that ordinary people can't step into when I debuted."

When Wang Jinghua heard what Zhang Yuxuan said, her expression became more serious.

"And then I started making movies. I liked the movie "Crazy Stone", and this movie really made me a big success. And later, I rejected "The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige, and I rejected Feng The "Night Banquet" directed by Steel Cannon, I also rejected Wu Baige's "Red Cliff", and I even rejected the Hollywood investment movie "The King of Kung Fu" co-starred by Fang Shilong and Li Lianjie. Sister Hua, these movies are finally Their box office and word-of-mouth have come out, what do you think? Their box office is not bad, but how about word-of-mouth?"

Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's words, Wang Jinghua's expression became a little strange.

In fact, among the movies that Zhang Yuxuan mentioned, Wang Jinghua almost participated in the investment of "The King of Kung Fu" before, but Zhang Yuxuan was not very optimistic about "The King of Kung Fu" at that time, so Wang Jinghua did not know why. Choosing to participate in the investment of "The King of Kung Fu" finally proved that it was the right choice not to participate in the investment of "The King of Kung Fu".

Don't look at the domestic box office of Kung Fu King, which is nearly 6000 million, and even abroad, it has a box office of [-] to [-] million dollars.

But Li Lianjie and Fang Shilong, the two of them participated in the movie, the salary alone accounted for more than 5000 million US dollars, plus the salary of inviting actors such as Liu Yifei, as well as the production of special effects, as well as the cost of shooting, post-production and publicity, etc. .

The total investment of "The King of Kung Fu" is as high as more than 7000 million US dollars.

In the end, "The King of Kung Fu" lost, and its reputation was particularly bad.I won't say whether this movie has a great influence on Fang Shilong and Li Lianjie.But the influence on Liu Yifei is extremely far-reaching.

Originally, many people looked at Liu Yifei with high enthusiasm, and many people would ask her to make a movie, but now, let's go and see Liu Yifei's situation.

Although it was partly due to Hua Yi, there was definitely a part because others felt that Liu Yifei couldn't afford the movie's box office.

And "Red Cliff" by Wu Baige.

The investment is huge, and the cast of actors is also very large.

The box office is not low, but compared with the investment, it is still far behind.

Chibi is obviously losing money.Moreover, Chibi's domestic reputation is as bad as it can be.

Although, their company's Lin Zhiling's reputation has also increased because of this movie, that's because Lin Zhiling's reputation was too low before.

Apart from Lin Zhiling, few of the other actors who participated in the role of Chibi could do well, and even Wu Baige's reputation began to deteriorate.

None of these films were considered successful, but Zhang Yuxuan also rejected them all.

Now Wang Jinghua listened to the movies mentioned by Zhang Yuxuan with a strange expression. Could it be that Zhang Yimou's movie "Three Guns Surprise" this time is similar to Chen Kaige's "The Promise" and Feng Gangpao's "Night Banquet"?

Well, although "The Promise" and "Night Banquet" have a bad reputation, they didn't lose money. On the contrary, they made some money, but they didn't make that much.

"So, do you think that Zhang Yimou's movie "Three Shots Surprise" is a bad movie?" Wang Jinghua looked at Zhang Yuxuan and asked seriously.

"Whether it's a bad movie or not, I can't say that, but it's that kind of feeling, you know that kind of feeling, Miss Hua. Anyway, it's the kind of feeling that I don't want to act in this movie. It’s similar to the feeling I had in “The Promise” and “The Banquet.” Zhang Yuxuan said solemnly.

"Do you feel it?" Wang Jinghua was a little stunned when she heard Zhang Yuxuan say that.

People in the entertainment industry, you say they are superstitious, sometimes they are not superstitious.But you say they are not superstitious.But they believe in some things in particular.

It's like the White Dragon King in Thailand, countless people lined up to let the White Dragon King watch it for them.

So when Zhang Yuxuan didn't explain the real reason clearly, but used this kind of ambiguity to express a feeling, Wang Jinghua actually believed Zhang Yuxuan a little bit.

The main reason is that the various choices Zhang Yuxuan made after entering the entertainment industry before seemed to be correct.

With so many previous examples, now Zhang Yuxuan said that Zhang Yimou's new movie "Three Shots Surprise" gave Zhang Yuxuan a bad feeling, and Wang Jinghua really believed it.

So, the next communication between Wang Jinghua and Zhang Yuxuan became much easier.

The main reason is that Wang Jinghua is no longer forcing Zhang Yuxuan to accept Zhang Yimou's movie, and Zhang Yuxuan no longer has to rack his brains and find excuses to fool Wang Jinghua.This makes it easier for both of them.

And Wang Jinghua is also really busy. After communicating with Zhang Yuxuan, she went to the production team of Thai Jiong, watched Zhang Yuxuan's filming for a while, and after saying hello to Ning Hao Huang Bo and Wang Baoyu, she took the plane that day and re- I went back to the capital.

After Wang Jinghua left, Zhang Yuxuan and the others continued to shoot.

After filming for a period of time, Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao took the plane back to China and started the final filming.

When Fan Xiaobing appeared and took a photo with Wang Baojun with a smile all over his face, Ning Hao yelled out and announced that the show was over.

In fact, according to Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao's thinking, it is enough to shoot this scene directly in Thailand.At most, Fan Xiaobing was allowed to fly to Thailand on a plane, but in fact, the shooting effect did not have any impact.

And there is another advantage of choosing to have a finale in Thailand, that is, holding a finale banquet in Thailand will save a lot of trouble.

It's just a pity that Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao didn't want to cause too much trouble, but even though they are directors and protagonists, behind them, there are investors, producers, etc. of the movie.

After all, if the finale banquet is held in China, it can also generate some news, and it will have such a slight publicity effect on the movie.

Although whether it is Ning Hao as the director or Zhang Yuxuan as the protagonist, there is actually no lack of such a little bit of publicity at all.

But who made those investors want to use the wrap-up banquet to create a lively place.

Originally in Thailand, it was supposed to be a simple wrap-up banquet, but now, besides the Thai drama crew, there were indeed a lot of messy people at the wrap-up banquet.

But fortunately, Zhang Yuxuan has long been used to this.

Although many people made excuses to have a drink with Zhang Yuxuan at the finale banquet, and even wanted to invite Zhang Yuxuan to star in their movie, all kinds of kits were almost casually opened by Zhang Yuxuan.

Facing this situation, Zhang Yuxuan smiled all over his face, just shirking that he was busy and didn't have so much time.

Zhang Yuxuan was finally relieved when the finale banquet was over.

After the wrap-up banquet, Zhang Yuxuan took another two days' rest.

Two days later, Huang Bo and Wang Baojun found Zhang Yuxuan directly.

"Yuxuan, let's rehearse the skit for the Spring Festival Gala together."

"Yes, yes, rehearse well."

"But Yuxuan, have you decided on the candidate for your wife in this sketch?"

"I think Mary is quite suitable. Last year's Spring Festival Gala, she played the role of an old woman, which worked well with you."

"Yes, I think so too. But I think that your wife in the sketch will definitely be wanted by many people." Huang Bo chuckled.

Zhang Yuxuan rolled his eyes directly. For the wife in the sketch, Zhang Yuxuan naturally chose Mary. The original version should be more suitable.

But in fact, Huang Bo was right. Before the news spread that Zhang Yuxuan was going to rehearse the skit for the Spring Festival Gala, someone did try to find Zhang Yuxuan and wanted to play Zhang Yuxuan's wife in the skit.

Li Bingbing, even Fan Xiaobing and even Lin Zhiling, they all wanted to leave Zhang Yuxuan, and wanted Zhang Yuxuan to hand over this role to them.

Even though they are quite famous now, but going to the Spring Festival Gala is really special for them.

But they were all pushed away by Zhang Yuxuan, or because of preconceived ideas, Zhang Yuxuan felt that Mary was more suitable than them.

Especially Fan Xiaobing, she is very busy now, she is so busy every day that she can't stop, how can she have any time to rehearse the show, although Fan Xiaobing himself said that she definitely has time to rehearse, Zhang Yuxuan didn't believe it.Fan Xiaobing's so-called time, nine times out of ten, is nothing more than drama.

Zhang Yuxuan hoped that the other party would devote himself wholeheartedly to things like the Spring Festival Gala.

So Mary is also really suitable.

After notifying Mary, Mary quickly found her.

After finding it, Mary first thanked Zhang Yuxuan, and after getting the script of the lines, she began to memorize and recite them seriously.

Mary's strength even feels stronger than Zhang Yuxuan——

Well, in fact, Huang Bo, Wang Baojun and Mary, the three of them are more energetic than Zhang Yuxuan.

"Oh, Brother Wang, you are giving me two days of grace! If you have money, I will definitely pay you back!"

"Why don't I answer your call! Why don't you call me from another phone?"

"Don't worry, I've started listing the house to the real estate agency center, but the landlord won't let me sell it!"

"Oh, okay, Brother Wang, you can scold me! I'll scold the landlord too when it's over."

Zhang Yuxuan held the mobile phone and pretended to be answering the phone.

"Old Zhang!"

"Old Zhang, take a look, take a look. Your photos have been posted online. You are already on the list of dishonest persons. From now on, whoever calls you Lao Zhang will have to call you Lao Lai. Shame on you, think of a way!"

"But I have to think of a way. I have to find someone to return the photo. The dark circles under my eyes have come out."

Zhang Yuxuan looked at his photo on the phone and said solemnly.

Mary hesitated to speak.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"It's over, is there a debtor coming?"

"Steady!" Zhang Yuxuan said to Mary, and then acted to answer the doorbell.

"Hello!"

"Hello, there are visitors at home!"

"Just talk about family members!"

"They're all listening!"

Zhang Yuxuan listened to the words with a helpless expression on his face, but immediately changed his voice: "Please come in quickly! I just entered the house!"

As Zhang Yuxuan said, he ran to the window and looked down.

On the other hand, Mary looked helpless: "You said that I have been living in fear every day!"

"It's okay! It's my old classmates." Zhang Yuxuan's voice became much more stable.

"Old Zhang, it's not that we don't have money. If we pay back the money owed to others, we'll be fine?"

"Isn't it true that you have no money if you pay it back?" Zhang Yuxuan said confidently: "Don't worry, they are easy to deal with. They both want money. I can't let him open his mouth." Zhang Yuxuan trotted and started to walk Step down, um, Zhang Yuxuan and the others set the stage range.

On the other side, Huang Bo and Wang Baojun also started to play at this time.

Both of them carried a gift box in their hands.

"Remember. Today, no matter what, I have to get the money back. I can no longer open my mouth as embarrassed as before." Huang Bo turned to Wang Baojun and said.

"Yes, he is ashamed of anyone who owes money, so why should we be ashamed of asking for money." Wang Baozhen nodded vigorously.

"Even if we don't come back, we can't ride inside."

Wang Baozhen nodded vigorously: "This is the bottom line!"

Mary then began to welcome the two.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, it's cold outside, please come inside!" Mary warmly entertained the two of them.

"Ah, ah!" Wang Baojun and Huang Bo were shy and embarrassed.Then Wang Baoyu held up the gift box in his hand: "I took some specialties from home, pickled vegetables."

"Blood sausage!"

Mary originally had an enthusiastic face, but when she saw the two gift boxes in her hand, she couldn't help complaining: "This is to make him pay with blood!"

"Hey, where's Lao Zhang?" Wang Baofeng asked.

"Old Zhang, old Zhang! The classmate is here, come out quickly." Mary shouted towards the inner room.

The next moment, Zhang Yuxuan, who was staggering, grabbed an infusion stand and hugged a pillow, and came out staggeringly.

"Neck~~~strong~~~" Zhang Yuxuan shouted the last word of the two people's names in an exaggerated voice: "You know I'm sick, so you came to see me?" Zhang Yuxuan pushed the infusion stand, With a crying face, he walked towards the two of them.

"Why is this so?"

"Quick, quick, sit down."

Huang Bo and Wang Baojun rushed up to meet him, supported Zhang Yuxuan, and placed Zhang Yuxuan on the sofa.

"When did this happen?" Wang Baozhen asked Mary beside him with special concern.

Mary looked confused, and when she heard Wang Baojun's question, she couldn't help saying, "It's too sudden. To me, it's too sudden."

"What's wrong?" Wang Baozhen couldn't help asking when he heard what Mary said.

"What, what's wrong with you?" Mary couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuxuan and asked, "Tell me yourself."

"If you want to know what kind of disease, don't you have to spend money to see it? I don't have any money! I just went to the hospital, picked up a few, and if there is still some water left, I will come back and beat it myself. It's done. Even better, if you can’t play well, that’s all I’ve done in my life.”

Even though they had read the script a long time ago, they couldn't help laughing while rehearsing.

So they had to rehearse over and over again.

They were already familiar with the jokes, and after they were completely numb to the jokes, they rehearsed later, so that there would be no more jokes.

During the rehearsal, Huang Bo's cell phone kept ringing, and someone kept calling him. After Huang Bo saw it, he simply didn't answer the phone, and turned off the phone directly, and then began to devote himself to the rehearsal of the sketch among.

After rehearsing for a long time, everyone was tired and their throats were smoking, so they stopped.

"Neck, someone kept calling you just now, what's the matter, you didn't answer the phone, and even turned off the phone directly?" Wang Baozhen asked Huang Bo after sitting down.

"Oh, it's Director Guan Hu. He kept calling me, wanting to let me film. I want to rehearse our sketch, so I rejected it, but Director Guan Hu just fell in love with him. I'm sick, you insist on letting me act, and you keep calling me on my personal phone, it's so annoying." Huang Bo said helplessly.

But in Wang Baowen's view, Huang Bo's words are a bit like Versailles.

"What kind of movie? If it really suits you, don't push it. And director Guan Hu keeps calling you, which means that the role is really suitable for you. Don't refuse it." Wang Baofei said so .

"That's right, if the role really suits you, don't refuse it." Zhang Yuxuan also said the same.

Zhang Yuxuan doesn't really want to keep filming. His situation is that his current reputation is enough, and his works are not too small.In addition, Zhang Yuxuan himself is really super rich, so making movies depends on his own mood.

But Huang Bo is different from Zhang Yuxuan.

So far, Huang Bo has only been a leading role in a crazy racing car. Now, his career is just about to take off, so he can't let him down halfway.

"It's a story during the Anti-Japanese War. It seems to be mainly about raising cows. In fact, if this movie is shot at other times, of course I have no objection, so I will go right away, but now we have to I'm rehearsing the skit, but the skit is going to be on the Spring Festival Gala. How can I delay our sketch because of the movie over there. "Huang Bo shook his head.

This can be regarded as Huang Bo faced with a choice directly and made a decisive choice.

After Zhang Yuxuan heard Huang Bo's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment: "The story during the Anti-Japanese War? Raising cows? What's the name of this movie?" Zhang Yuxuan always felt a little familiar.

"It seems, is it called bullfighting or something? A cow, what is it called bullfighting? Can Spanish bullfighting know how to fight cows?" Huang Bo complained with a smile.

"Cowfighting?" Wang Baozhen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help shaking his head: "It doesn't sound like a reliable story."

"That's not the same. After all, Guan Hu is a director. I think he is quite capable. When he was filming you as a teenager, his performance was quite good. I think you should not miss the neck. The best Talk to Director Guan Hu." Zhang Yuxuan persuaded.

If Zhang Yuxuan's memory is correct, it seems to be this bullfight, what kind of actor did Huang Bo get?Is it the best actor of Hundred Flowers or the best actor of Golden Horse?I don't remember clearly, but he is an actor anyway!
