my movie years

Chapter 136 Invite Hua Tsai

As the second week of the screening passed, the box office of "Fatal Prestige" also fell, and it began to enter the stage of accumulating box office by time.

On June NO.15, the gift film "The Founding of the Party" was released, ending the rivalry between "Fatal Magic" and "Kung Fu Panda 2".

As a director who has worked closely with China Film Group, has a deep personal relationship with Sanye, and has also participated in "The Founding of the Party", of course Zhang Hao will attend the premiere.

At the premiere, Zhang Hao met Li Shaohong, one of the film's co-directors, who seemed very enthusiastic about Zhang Hao.

"Director Zhang, please take care of Li Qin, she is in your first movie." Li Shaohong greeted Li Qin and Zhang Hao.

Li Qin followed behind, looking at Zhang Hao charmingly: "Hello, Director Zhang..."

"Hello, hello," Zhang Hao responded with a smile, and casually dealt with Li Shaohong: "Of course, if there is a suitable role, of course I will think of my own people."

The third master has a good relationship with Li Shaohong, saying that his own people are fine.

Sure enough, Li Shaohong was very satisfied after hearing this, and asked again: "How are you getting along with Mi Mi? It's a pity that she left Rongxingda too early. I originally arranged several big projects for her."

At the beginning when Da Mi Mi was with you, it seemed that he was not taken seriously. He starred in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and was actually a maid. Didn't Da Mi Mi run away quickly?

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhang Hao replied on the face: "Very well, we get along very happily."

"That's good. I also wish her the best of luck in finding a boyfriend like you." Li Shaohong laughed and put the topic to rest.

After meeting Li Shaohong, Zhang Hao also met Hua Tsai, one of the leading actors in "The Founding of the Party".

Hua Tsai came up and said, "Director Zhang, do you want to consider me for your next project?"

"Of course I've considered it. You are such an excellent actor, and any director wants to work with him." Zhang Hao said.

"Then what are you waiting for, as long as it's your film, I'll accept any project." Hua Tsai said.

Zhang Hao's heart moved, and he thought that it would be good to find Hua Tsai.

It's not that Zhang Hao has never thought about finding a more suitable actor, such as Liang Chaowei.But Liang Chaowei doesn't speak Mandarin very well, although this can be solved with dubbing.

But every director has his own insistence, and Zhang Hao tends to be the actor's own original lines.

The most important thing is that Liang Chaowei's schedule this year is still relatively tight. The filming of "The Grandmaster" here is intermittent. Anyone who knows Wong Kar-wai's production style knows him well.

Over there, Er Dongsheng's "The Great Magician" project was accepted, and Liang Chaowei couldn't make time for it.

In addition, it is still unknown whether these Hong Kong actors can accept a film directed by a mainland director. Even if they are willing to accept, the salary is also a problem.

Although Zhang Hao has fully proved his talent and strength, it is also unknown whether he will lower his salary.

As I said before, unless you are a great director at the level of a national teacher, it is a very stupid thing to lower your salary in a commercial film.

Zhang Hao's next work is considered a literary film, and it is impossible for him to spend 2000 million yuan to invite a superstar to star in it.

The 2000 million is enough to make two or three "The Undertaker".

So, Qin Hao was hired because his acting skills were good and his salary was cheap enough.

If Hua Tsai is willing and the salary is not high, Zhang Hao can also consider it.

Although Hua Tsai's Mandarin is still not very good, it doesn't matter if he uses dubbing, and Zhang Hao is not a diehard.

It's just that I made an appointment with Qin Hao here. Although I didn't disclose the project to him, I invited him to the celebration banquet. In the end, I didn't tell him anything, and I was somewhat suspected of playing with him.

Forget it, I'll make up for Qin Hao after watching it. Qin Hao can also participate in "The Undertaker", but he is no longer a starring candidate.

Look at me as a director, people are getting more and more black, how can I become more and more kind-hearted!

After thinking up to this point, Zhang Hao responded: "It's just right, Brother Hua, I really have a project, have you heard of the mortician?"

"Does makeup for the dead?" Hua Tsai asked.

"That's right, I'm planning to make a film with a related theme. If you're interested, I'll give you the script in a few days." Zhang Hao said.

Hua Tsai hesitated, he imagined that ghost movies were more associated with dead people.

The problem is that Zhang Hao is a mainland director, so he must consider the mainland theaters.But Big Scissors doesn't allow ghosts to appear in the film, so what should Zhang Hao do?
After thinking about it, Hua Tsai asked, "Is it a ghost movie?"

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "What do you think? It's not a ghost movie, it's a genre of literary and artistic movies. If you want to take it, Brother Hua, you'd better learn about related work. By the way, it would be even better if you practice the cello."

Hua Zai was heartbroken, and agreed: "Okay, I will accept the film, when will the filming start?"

"Wait a little longer, around the end of July or mid-August, our film is going to go overseas for awards, and it will definitely be released this year." Zhang Hao said.

"OK, I will spare time and wait for your script." Andy promised.

"Let me tell you in advance that this is a low-budget literary film, and the salary won't be too high." Zhang Hao took a precautionary shot.

"Don't worry, you get as much as you give." Hua Tsai smiled and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder, and the two reached an agreement.

In addition to the male protagonist, the old embalmer and the protagonist's wife are also important choices.

Zhang Hao thought about it, and happened to see Teacher Li Xuejian, so he walked up.

"Hey, director Xiao Zhang is here? Sit down." Li Xuejian patted the chair beside him.

"Mr. Xuejian," Zhang Hao sat beside Li Xuejian, and began to chat with Li Xuejian about the movie: "Mr. Xuejian, are you free recently?"

"What? You want me to make a film?" Teacher Li Xuejian asked.

"Yes," Zhang Hao nodded and said, "I'm preparing for a low-budget literary film, and I've already invited Hua Tsai to join. If you can play the role, it will definitely add a little more luster to this film."

"Oh," Li Xuejian said, "I'm afraid it won't work. My filming of "Yang Shanzhou" is not over yet, and director Xiaogang's "[-]" is about to be filmed. I'm afraid there is no schedule."

"That's it," Zhang Hao was a little disappointed: "That's a pity."

Teacher Li Xuejian asked: "What type of film are you doing? Maybe I can help you think about candidates."

"It's a film about morticians." Zhang Hao said, briefly telling the story of the film to Teacher Li Xuejian.

Teacher Li Xuejian pondered for a long time after listening, and then said: "It's a good story. If I hadn't accepted other films, I would have accepted this film. Now I can only express my regret."

After all, Teacher Li Xuejian introduced a candidate to Zhang Hao: "I recommend someone to you, Jin Shijie."

"Teacher Jin Shijie? Is he here today?"

"That's not true, but I think this role is very suitable for him. You can talk to him." Li Xuejian said.

"OK," Zhang Hao expressed understanding: "I will communicate with Teacher Jin Shijie the next day."

Speaking of Jin Shijie, this is an actor who is not well known to everyone now, and he is also an old actor.

What impressed Zhang Hao most about him was not only Wei Zhongxian in "Embroidered Spring Knife", but also a long shot that lasted more than five minutes in "The Remaining is King".

The movie "The Remaining is King" is not a good-looking movie, but in such a bad-looking movie, Mr. Jin Shijie also contributed an extremely wonderful acting skill, fully interpreting father's love.

So many people who haven't seen the movie thought it was a documentary interview after watching this performance.

The phrase 'Because I am her father, she can only be happy with me and nothing else. 'It impressed Zhang Hao deeply.

After chatting with teacher Li Xuejian, Zhang Hao chatted with the third master again.

When the third master heard Zhang Hao talk about the newly prepared project, he said with a half-smile, "I heard that Director Chen is preparing a film called "Search". Your film is not intended to attack him, is it?"

Zhang Hao was taken aback for a moment. He had thought about taking the film "The Undertaker" to win the award, so that he could compete with Chen Gezi in terms of honor, but he really didn't think about sniping Chen Gezi's movie.

So Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Then I really haven't thought about it that way. The shooting time of my film will not be too long, and it will be released within this year, unless Director Chen's new film will also be released this year."

"Okay, just do it if you want, I support you." The third master said.

"Thank you, Uncle Han..."

After the premiere of "The Founding of the Party", the film was officially released in theaters. It earned 1927.8 million box office on the first day and 1.12 million in the first week.

From Wednesday's premiere to Sunday, the box office doesn't seem to be high in the opening week.

However, this kind of film is important for its significance, and there will be public institutions to book the film to watch the film, so there is no need to worry too much about the box office.

There is no conflict in the subject matter. "The Prestige" still maintains a good performance in theaters. By the end of June 3.16, the film has successfully won [-] million, and Zhang Hao has also reached a new milestone in his director career.

It's just that after "The Prestige" broke through 3 million at the box office, it seemed like a patient who had exhausted his strength, and the daily box office dropped rapidly.

By June 26, a few days before Zhang Hao's birthday, the box office of "Fatal Magic" had accumulated to 3.5 million, which was considered to have met Zhang Hao's psychological expectations.

And the media once again raised the forecast, believing that the box office of "Fatal Magic" will eventually reach about 3.7 million.

To achieve such a good result, of course we have to celebrate, so on the day of Zhang Hao's birthday, under the auspices of Bona Pictures, "Fatal Magic" arranged a grand celebration banquet in Beijing.

Just in time, Da Mi Mi also ended the filming of "Shark Beach" and rushed back to the capital to attend the celebration banquet.

"Is this suit a good fit?" Da Mimi gave Zhang Hao a try on the suit she bought.

Different from the black Armani suit that Zhang Yu bought, Da Mimi bought this light blue Dior suit, and with the watch she gave to Zhang Hao, the overall image and temperament are very prominent.

Zhang Hao has a good figure and looks like a male model in a suit.

It's just that Zhang Hao usually doesn't like to wear such overly serious and formal clothes, and only wears them on occasions like award ceremonies and celebration banquets.

Da Mi Mi went to Hainan to shoot for a few months, and after a few months of sun exposure, her skin did not look as white as before.

She is wearing a red dress today. Da Mi Mi loves red dresses very much. The styles are different, but the color has not changed.

"Mimi, Xiaohao, are you all right? It's time to go." Zhang Yu shouted outside.

"Come here," Da Mimi tied Zhang Hao's tie, and went out together holding Zhang Hao's hand.

Zhang Yu is wearing a classic cheongsam outfit with a silk scarf today, which looks like a noble lady in the Republic of China.

Today, the three of them went to the celebration banquet together. Zhang Yu didn't attend the previous celebration banquets of Zhang Hao's movies, so she also went this time.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Yu said to Zhang Hao: "Is there no problem with security this time?"

"No problem, you can rest assured, it will be fine if you do this kind of thing once, and it won't be much fun if you do it again." Zhang Hao said.

"That's good." Zhang Yu was relieved.

The car started slowly and set off to the scene.

On the other side, Qin Hao and his manager had already arrived at the celebration banquet.Received Zhang Hao's invitation in person, and is very likely to star in Zhang Hao's next project, Qin Hao is undoubtedly nervous and looking forward to it.

Qin Hao didn't know yet that his leading actor was robbed by Hua Tsai.

Speaking of Hua Tsai, after learning about the project from Zhang Hao, although they haven't got the script yet, they have already made preparations in advance.

He had just finished filming "Sister Tao". According to the habit, he should return to commercial films.

But Zhang Hao has a kind of magical power that attracts Hua Tsai, for this reason he did not hesitate to reject Sun Jianjun's "Tianji · Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", just to star in "The Undertaker".

Sun Jianjun didn't give up either, and went to Hong Kong to persuade Hua Tsai in person, and even offered a salary of 3000 million yuan.

Who knew that Andy Hua refused straight away, without even the slightest hesitation.

Sun Jianjun became curious and asked, "Hua Zai, why did you refuse? Could it be that our project is not good?"

Hua Tsai shook his head and said, "The project is good, but I have a movie that I want to be in more."

Sun Jianjun asked curiously: "Can I know whose project it is?"

"Directed by Zhang Hao, maybe you have heard of him." Hua Tsai replied.

Now who is engaged in the film industry, who has never heard of Zhang Hao, a young director who created the myth of the box office.

The most important thing is that the commercial films shot by Zhang Hao basically belong to the kind of films that are well-received and popular.

Although Sun Jianjun is very confident in himself, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that he is worthy of Zhang Hao.

Although Zhang Hao is younger than him, he is no longer a novice. Although he is older and more mature than Zhang Hao, he is a novice in the film industry.

To put it bluntly, "Tianji Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is just a playful work by Sun Jianjun, and of course it is not as attractive as Zhang Hao's new project.

The success of three consecutive films made Zhang Hao's reputation reach an unprecedented level.

Successful people in the industry are very blindly obedient, and a young and successful director like Zhang Hao is a natural target to be chased.

Now Zhang Hao is the best partner in the hearts of many actresses. If Sun Jianjun is an actress, he can't help but sleep with Zhang Hao.

Now that he knew that Andy Hua Tsai would not accept the show, Sun Jianjun had to find someone else.

After Sun Jianjun left, Andy called his assistant: "Hey, Mary, help me contact a funeral home.

No, no one died, it was myself, going to study for a while, but the mortician.Also, looking for a cello teacher, I will learn cello. "

Everything is ready, and it's time to wait for Zhang Hao's script and the project to officially start.

The time then turned back to the "Fatal Magic" celebration banquet. In the banquet hall, people who were familiar with each other were chatting with each other.

But it seems that there is something missing in the banquet hall, that's right, it is Zhang Hao, the master of tonight.

I don't know who yelled to come, all the guests who came stopped chatting and looked at the door together.

The first to walk in were Zhang Yu and Da Mimi, who were arm in arm. Da Mimi explained with a smile: "Director Zhang Hao was stopped by reporters outside the door for an interview, so he will come in soon."

Everyone expressed their understanding one after another, and then raised their wine glasses to congratulate Zhang Yu and Da Mimi.

One is Zhang Hao's mother, and the other is his girlfriend. Even if they can't get along with Zhang Hao, it's okay to make friends with each other.

While waiting for Zhang Hao to come in, Da Mi Mi found his friend Tang Yan and Liu Shishi.

The three of them had a good relationship and formed a group of girlfriends.

"Mimi, everyone envies you now." Liu Shishi said.

"Oh? Why?" Da Mi Mi was curious.

"I envy you for finding such a talented boyfriend. With him, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life." Liu Shishi said.

"Shi Shi, what you said is wrong," Tang Yan said with a smile: "Our Mi Mi didn't choose to be with Zhang Dao for later consideration, she really likes Zhang Dao."

"Yes, yes, it's me who treats a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. I will drink a few more drinks with your boyfriend to make amends."

"Haha, I must drink a few more glasses."

Here the three sisters were chatting and joking, while Xu Qing and Yu Feihong were sitting in the corner talking.

Xu Qing asked Feihong Yu: "Did you ever think that director Xiao Zhang would make such achievements so quickly?"

"Have you thought about it?" Yu Feihong asked back.

Xu Qing nodded and said: "I really thought about it, I also thought, if only I was ten years younger, or he was ten years older."

"Age is not a problem, if you like you, act boldly." Faye Yu encouraged.

"It's difficult. Didn't you see that her mother guarded me like a thief. Who would have thought that the sisters who played together back then gave birth to such an excellent son." Xu Qing has always been very interested in Zhang Hao.

It doesn't have to be liking, it's the kind of impulse that a woman wants to conquer when she sees a good man and make him fall under her pomegranate skirt.

In contrast, Yu Feihong is much simpler.

With her family background, Zhang Hao wants to be with her, it is more difficult than going to heaven.

Anyway, Zhang Hao already has a girlfriend now, and I heard that he has met his parents, so it would be nice to be a sibling with a good relationship.

If you are interested, go to Zhang Hao's movie for a while. Given the relationship between the two, Zhang Hao will definitely not refuse.

Everyone in the banquet hall has their own demands on Zhang Hao.

Some hope to reach a cooperation with him, and some hope to be able to star in his project.Others hope that he can look at him differently, and then he will fly up to the branch and become a phoenix, and he will flourish from then on.

Zhao Liying participated in this celebration banquet. She has developed a good acting career recently. "New My Fair Princess" will be broadcast on Mango TV, and she will also take over a drama "Legend of Lu Zhen".
