Actor: My Entertainment Era

If it weren't for Liu Yifei, the drama "Blind City" wouldn't be so popular.

But the idea of ​​Liu Yifei acting in a drama attracted entertainment reporters last year. Later, the reporters found that the cost-effectiveness of reporting Liu Yifei's drama was too low, and the number of clicks and reads could not increase. In addition to attracting Liu Yifei's fans to praise dryly, " I can't get anything other than "hard work" and "dedication".

Gradually, except for professional and drama reporters, film and television entertainment reporters basically no longer cover news about Liu Yifei’s drama.

Therefore, Liu Yifei did not go back to the capital with the crew the next day, but stayed on Hong Kong Island to accompany her boyfriend, which did not arouse the ideas of the reporters.

On the second day of getting bored with Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei accompanied her boyfriend to meet Neil Blomkamp and Eddie who flew from the United States in a coffee shop.

Neil showed Zhang Yuanjun the final script of the feature film "Aliens in Johannesburg" that he had worked on day and night: "Zhang, I want to call this movie "District [-]"."

Zhang Yuanjun has no objection to this. It doesn't really matter what the movie is called.

Zhang Yuanjun read the script quietly and nodded, that's what it tasted like.

Seeing Zhang Yuanjun nod, Neil felt that he could continue: "Zhang, Peter promised to invest part of the funds in "District [-]", and he will also serve as a film producer to raise funds for the film."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to know how he persuaded Peter Jackson, but he wanted to know how much this fat New Zealander would vote, which would directly affect his share.

"Has the budget been made?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.

Neil took out another stack of papers, which listed in detail the possible initial expenses of the crew: "Eddie has already seen it."

Zhang Yuanjun roughly flipped through it. This report did not give a specific amount, but said that after the entire filming of the film, it will cost about 3000 million US dollars.

But Neil, or Peter Jackson wanted Zhang Yuanjun to pay 1000 million to 1500 million US dollars.

Zhang Yuanjun will definitely not agree.

"At least 1/3 of the risk of the film is on me alone, and I will not pay the money."

Peter Jackson paid 510 million US dollars, and he will also take nearly 100 million producer remuneration from the crew. In terms of income, he will account for 1/3 of the film's omni-channel income, because he initiated this project.

"If you really want me to invest, you must come up with a sincere account-sharing plan, instead of thinking that I, a young Oriental who doesn't understand Hollywood, are trying to defraud me of my money." Zhang Yuanjun said back without any politeness.

Neil showed an embarrassing expression, but he was not embarrassed at all, because he had experienced too many things like being made things difficult by investors.

Neil said: "Zhang, you can tell me your ideal investment plan." As long as he can get money from this Easterner, Neil can agree to anything.

If Eddie hadn't said that his boss' girlfriend would accompany him today, he would even bring a blonde beauty to give to Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said, "My plan is the same as Peter's. I invest 510 million, and I want 1/3 of the income."

Neil did not refuse immediately. Zhang Yuanjun's request was not excessive.

As Zhang Yuanjun said, it is impossible for his family to bear 1/3 of the risk of the film, and he did not do this film, unless the proceeds are shared with him.

Moreover, Zhang Yuanjun and his Z Studio can be said to be the earliest investors of "The Ninth District" together with Peter Jackson, so they deserve an extra share.

But after all, it involves 1/3 of the quota, he must discuss with Peter Jackson to give a definite reply.

After the two sides ended, Zhang Yuanjun left Eddie with something to say:
"Eddie, I need you to do something for me in America."

"You're my boss, so tell me."

Zhang Yuanjun did not avoid Liu Yifei who was at the side, but conspired loudly with Eddie, so and so, and so and so.

Liu Yifei burst out laughing after hearing this, Zhang Yuanjun was so bad.

"Eddie, if you do this well, you will get a generous bonus." Zhang Yuanjun finally promised Eddie a bonus.

Eddie said with a smile: "It's not difficult to do, don't worry." The global financial crisis has begun. Although it has not directly affected Hollywood for the time being, Wall Street is already wailing everywhere. His investment losses are huge, so he needs to make money. Take this eastern boss' bonus.

After bidding farewell to Eddie, Liu Yifei said, "You are too bad. If you let the bosses of various companies know that you are calculating them like this, they will tear you apart."

"I have no choice, I can't find the money, so I can only use this trick." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "Let's go." Holding his girlfriend's hand, the two left the coffee shop.

Liu Yifei accompanied Zhang Yuanjun for two days on Hong Kong Island, and the two spent the last night at Disney.

Disney is all animation!

That night, Zhang Yuanjun put his arms around his girlfriend and said: "When people fall in love, it's a romantic relationship, you and me. It's good for you. From now on, the king will not go to court early."

"Isn't this all you men think about?"

"We can go to eat, drink and have fun, and we can do a lot of things together. I feel like I'm a duck being fucked by you."

"Hahahaha!" Liu Yifei laughed so that DuangDuang trembled, "It's so pitiful.

"Okay, okay, when you finish your engagement and return to the capital, I will arrange a date." Liu Yifei kissed Zhang Yuanjun lightly.

Liu Yifei quietly left Hong Kong Island the next day, while Zhang Yuanjun continued filming with all his strength.

"Detachment" is expected to shoot for 2 months and wrap up at the end of April.

Fortunately, Li Yang is a very mature director. Although Zhang Yuanjun and Huang Lu are young, they have rich shooting experience and the crew is running smoothly.

Entering April, after work was over, the producer's supervisory agency invited the crew to watch the movie.

The blockbuster, "Three Kingdoms Seeing the Dragon Unloads its Armor".

Why can't I escape?

Zhang Yuanjun was on pins and needles in the theater, and Li Yang next to him was probably the same.

But the Hong Kong staff in the crew watched it with gusto.

Li Yang found an excuse: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."

Zhang Yuanjun followed immediately: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Then the two of them complained wantonly in the bathroom.

"The soundtrack and editing are very good, the acting is passable, but everything else is a mess." Li Yang lit a cigarette.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "As long as it doesn't focus on the Three Kingdoms, it can still be considered a passable war action movie."

Li Yang took a deep breath: "Well, I don't rely on novels, nor do I rely on historical facts. I don't know why the name of the Three Kingdoms has to be used."

"Maybe it's to sell the Japanese copyright."

Li Yang instantly understood that Japan loves the mystery of the Three Kingdoms theme, and they like to transform the Three Kingdoms very much. Otherwise, second-generation comics such as "One Horse as a Thousand" would not sell so well.

Zhang Yuanjun continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't rely on either side. This movie still gives me the impression of a Hong Kong-style gangster movie. There is a fierce battle between two gangs, and a traitor appears in the middle, and then they fight and kill each other. There is no ancient costume. The structure of the world that a war movie should have.”

"I also have the same feeling. I always feel that there is something missing in him." Li Yang also agreed with Zhang Yuanjun's opinion, "Let's go, the two of us have been away for too long, the producer kindly invited us to watch a movie, and we hid in the bathroom and chatted , not good, go back and finish watching the movie."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled wryly, and the two went back to the theater to watch "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading its Armor". (End of chapter)
