Chapter 516 Daffy (Earth)
When Zeng Yi saw Chen Ye with a bandage on his head on the set of "Lust, Caution", he was very distressed, but also a little angry and funny.

"Did you really fight with other comedians backstage and get beaten?"

Facing Zeng Yi's question, Chen Ye felt a little ashamed. After all, it was really a stain for a man to have someone's head shot open instead of hitting anyone in a fight.

But Chen Ye also said: "Cao Yunjin is still in the detention center and has not come out. If he hadn't knelt down and cried and begged me, I would have held him accountable for personal injury. He would have been locked up for several years. After he came out, he would not dare to be arrogant. , so I used this head to warn him to be more reserved in his life. This is called surrendering without a fight. What does 'getting a beating' mean? You know nothing!"

Zeng Yi was puzzled: "According to your words, why did you quit the company? Shouldn't it be Cao Yunjin who quit the company?"

Chen Yeyi raised his head: "I quit on my own initiative! Because the number of viewers of De Zishe can no longer satisfy me, I want to pursue an art form with a larger audience! More artistic achievements! I am an artist! What flows in my bones is not Blood, but the pursuit of art!”

Zeng Yi was confused: "But I heard that it was Cao Yunjin who said it was him without you, you without him, so Lao Guo couldn't ask you to withdraw from the club..."

Chen Ye slapped the table: "Xiao Yueyue is not only loud, but also unable to explain things clearly. It was me who applied to withdraw first, and Lao Guo was so reluctant to give up. Forced by the situation, he cried for three days and three nights before agreeing. You want this?" Figure it out!”

Seeing how stubborn Chen Ye was, Zeng Yi had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, you must be awesome."

But she was still worried, "It's okay. I heard that people with head injuries cannot fly, otherwise they will develop dementia..."

"I have nothing to say to a woman like you who can only expose other people's scars!" Chen Ye stood up angrily.

He just stopped by to see Zeng Yi, or in other words, when he came to see director Ang Lee, Zeng Yi caught him and had to say a few words to her.

Seeing that Chen Ye was about to leave, Zeng Yi said, "Okay, I'm going to start filming too. Let's talk in detail in the evening."

"Who's spending the night with you?" Chen Ye turned around and turned to leave. He happened to meet Sister Chong who played "Mrs. Yi" in the play.

In fact, Sister Chong, like many people in the crew, came here just for Chen Ye. Ever since Zeng Yi caught Chen Ye and took her away for a chat, a rumor began to spread quickly in the crew that Zeng Yi's boyfriend came to visit the crew. He came with his head wrapped and injured, so many people became extremely curious.

Zeng Yi’s current celebrity status is not high, but his rising momentum is obvious. Although no one knows how the "Lust, Caution" directed by Ang Lee will be received after it is filmed, but being able to catch the eyes of such an international director is enough to bring Zeng Yi to the stage. Zeng Yi's celebrity status has been raised to a higher level and she has become a movie star. It was said before that "two YIs compete for beauty". Now Zeng Yi has more dazzling qualifications than Liu Yifei, so she is particularly concerned.

What kind of person is Zeng Yi’s boyfriend?

It is especially hard to believe that he is a cross talk actor. After all, there is no such combination in the entertainment industry.

Crosstalk actors can be considered insiders in the entertainment industry, but they are already outside the 4th Ring Road. With Zeng Yi's conditions, he should be matched with a big shot in the industry, or a rich young man. If he is matched with someone outside the [-]th Ring Road A cross talk actor, unless he has a young talent, would be like F[-] being taken over by a few big sisters, but Zeng Yi is obviously not that age yet.

Now, Sister Chong happened to meet Chen Ye, so she stared at him with full curiosity, especially the white cloth wrapped around his head. After a few glances, a smile appeared on her face, and there was even more sarcasm in her eyes.

"Hey~ Zeng Yi, this is your boyfriend. It looks really... haha~"

Zeng Yi's face looked very ugly at this moment.

"Hey~ Isn't this Sister Pan?" Chen Ye answered the question immediately. He was a flattering person, and it was a basic skill of his profession to keep his words from landing.

"What sister Pan?" Sister Chong didn't understand.

"Is it the time when you abandoned your ancestors and changed your citizenship to the United States, only to be able to wash dishes when you went abroad?" Chen Ye wondered, "Is it fake?"

Sister Chong's expression immediately changed and she stared at Chen Ye, her lips twitching.

"Is it true that you were unable to have children yourself and adopted a pair of twins, and then gave the children away after you were able to have children?" Chen Ye asked, "You betrayed your ancestors and destroyed your clan, abandoning your children and your family. It's really admirable. ~”

Sister Chong wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth, so she turned around and left.

"Just think that I'm a fool who can't see the situation clearly!"

"You can't compare to a stupid person. In history, there is a stupid person who left his family and career to be a slave and was eventually beheaded by a dog's head. That is the real stupid person!"

"You tell me?"

"This person's name is Chen Shimei..."

Chen Ye stared at Sister Chong's back and performed a stand-up comedy. One person said that his stand-up comedy was both teasing and flattering, and the tone was different. The teasing was Xiao Yueyue's voice. It was his own original voice that he praised. After a few words, Sister Chong's footsteps were getting faster and faster, as if there was a vicious dog chasing her behind her.

The people watching the crew were first stunned by this scene, and then they couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. Really, this scene was so interesting. In the entertainment industry, who would dare to pull off the other person's fig leaf and put it on the wound? But why bother to criticize?
Zeng Yi couldn't help but laugh, but still covered Chen Ye's mouth and sighed, "I finally know why you were shot."

Isn't it? If you are so mean-mouthed, if you are not beaten to death in the street, it will be regarded as letting the other party live and accumulating virtue.

……

Ang Lee and Chen Ye sat facing each other. On the table in the middle was a script named "Young CHUMEN's Fantasy Adventure" by Chen Ye.

The filming of "Lust, Caution" has entered the advanced stage.

Ang Lee invited Chen Ye to Hong Kong to discuss the script of the new film.As a director who has lived in the United States for decades, Ang Lee invited Chen Ye to drink coffee. While drinking, he said slowly: "I still think you are right. The use of 3D technology to make movies is this The future of the industry, however, not every investor can see this trend. I contacted [-]th Century, Paramount and Disney, but they were unwilling to invest. After all, I am not James Cameron."

Ang Lee is of course considered a top-tier director when he returns to China, but abroad, currently, he does not have a very glamorous resume. Whether it is the early "Pushing Hands" or the later "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he is just a A genre film director, not a commercial director.

Cameron is different. He has masterpieces such as "Terminator", "Alien" and "Titanic" at his disposal, especially "Titanic", which led the trend of the moment, gained both fame and fortune, received critical acclaim and box office, and was enough for a Hollywood movie. Manufacturers worship it as a god.

So at this stage, only Cameron can get enough financial support from major Hollywood studios to try a movie made of brand-new technology, and Ang Lee is not qualified.

At this time, Chen Ye wanted to give Ang Lee confidence. He said, "Director, as long as you are willing to shoot, I will solve the funding problem."

"This requires a production cost of 8000 million to 1 million US dollars. How are you going to solve it?" Ang Lee did not immediately doubt Chen Ye.

Although today, after many verifications, Ang Lee already knows Chen Ye's true identity, and also knows that Chen Ye mostly bragged before, but Chen Ye's knowledge is not fake. Those judgments about the future, unless it is about the popularity of the world film industry Industry insiders who know the trends extremely well would otherwise have no way of knowing.

"I know a coal boss~" Chen Ye said with a smile, "The domestic coal bosses are very rich and willing to invest."

Chen Ye didn't doubt whether Ang Lee's request for funds was too much. Although the filming of "Young Pi" later only cost 5000 million US dollars, it was because "Avatar" had already made a good start. How can 3D technology be applied to the film industry? Under the premise of becoming increasingly mature, if you want to be the first to eat crabs, greater investment is necessary.

"Even if you can attract investment, I still have concerns." Ang Lee said, "I am not sure that I have the ability to control a US$1 million business giant."

"I do~" Chen Ye said.

Li An looked at Chen Ye with a displeased expression. Yes, a cautious and modest person would have this attitude when meeting another guy who spoke arrogantly.

Chen Ye hasn't gained Li An's approval yet.

"How about we make a bet?" Chen Ye said.

"What bet?" Li An asked.

"You give me a movie as a producer, and I'll raise 500 million to make it. If I don't get 5000 million at the box office in mainland China, I'll lose. I'll give you this script. If I can get it, we'll How about we jointly shoot "Young CHUMEN" and let me solve the financial problem?" Chen Ye said.

"Do you have any other movie scripts?" Ang Lee was quite interested.

"Have."

"What's the name? Can I see it?"

"The name is still called "People on the Road" for the time being."

……

"So you didn't get 500 million from Li Guangxiong to hold a concert, and now you plan to use Director Li's name to defraud 500 million elsewhere?"

Zeng Yi found it incredible.

"Guangxiong will agree to the concert sooner or later. He is just waiting for a suitable opportunity." Chen Ye said, "As for Ang Lee's recognition, how can you say you're lying? It's something that is very difficult to obtain. I think Guangxiong will agree to it." I can't do it with words, I have to show him my strength, so I made the last minute decision to give him an advantage."

"You also know that you can't accomplish anything by just talking. Look at what you have done this year. You hung out in the German Character Club, got beaten up and quit the club, and fell out with Li Guangxiong. People are looking for gangsters everywhere to kill you." Zeng Yi sighed, "Now you are fooling Director Li again. Director Li has no money, so you have to use his name and go to other places to fool him for money. Even if you really get the money, you really know how to do it. Making a movie? I don’t believe it.”

These worries made Zeng Yi no longer in the mood to eat the legendary Jiuji Beef Brisket. He took his chopsticks and ate it in the bowl, "Chen Ye, when will you be more practical? If you offend Director Li again, are you afraid?" It's going to be a shame and be thrown abroad..."

In order to welcome Chen Ye, Zeng Yi specially brought Chen Ye to Hong Kong's most famous Jiuji Beef Brisket. This is the favorite late-night snack shop of many Hong Kong celebrities. You have to queue up to get the number. For this reason, Zeng Yi asked his assistant to queue three times in advance. Hours of queue.

Jiuji Beef Brisket, which only has a few tables, was crowded, and there were quite a few people queuing outside.

Chen Ye doesn't like eating this beef brisket very much. He thinks it's a bit fishy and salty, but when eating this thing, he can feel another kind of nostalgia and memory, probably because he has played a certain role before.

So Chen Ye chewed the food in his mouth amidst such tangled and complicated emotions, and responded to Zeng Yi's words in various ways. Zeng Yi saw that his attitude was really angry, and towards Chen Ye, Zeng Yi felt a mixture of gratitude. With the emotion of hating that iron cannot become steel.

Zeng Yi is convinced of Chen Ye's talent. After all, she completed two transitions in life because of Chen Ye's key help. She believes that Chen Ye must have the talent to become a superstar, but Chen Ye's wandering character really makes her I'm angry. Now I'm talking about cross talk, and now I have to hold a concert, and now I want to be a director. If I keep hanging out like this, when will I be able to make a difference?
Why!Chen Ye suddenly looked up, as if he saw someone.

Zeng Yi also looked over there and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white T-shirt and a black suit walking into Jiuji Beef Brisket.

There was no room left in the store, so he looked around and told the boss that he wanted to pack one up and take it away.

The boss chatted with him very familiarly and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Tang ask the driver to buy something today?" He replied, "The driver went home to celebrate his birthday on leave. Suddenly he wanted to eat, so he came over." The boss said "It'll be ready soon, Mr. Tang, please wait"...

Zeng Yi listened to this "Mr. Tang" and pulled up a name from her memory. Ah, Hong Kong is really small. She met a legendary figure. She pulled Chen Ye and was about to share it with Chen Ye. I heard Chen Ye shout:
"Daffy!"
