Actor: My Entertainment Era

It was a cool afternoon. Liu Yifei was lying on the sofa, her upper and lower eyelids fighting.

I closed and opened my eyes, and a child appeared in front of me, with a round head, round arms, and two round legs.

The child lay on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Liu Yifei with his big eyes.

Liu Yifei knelt down and asked, "Whose child are you from? Why did you come to my house?"

The child, who could not speak yet, crawled to Liu Yifei's feet with difficulty and bit Liu Yifei's shoes with his mouth.

"You can't eat this." Liu Yifei picked up the child, "You haven't told me yet, whose child you are, where is your mother?"

The child didn't speak and just ate his own hands in Liu Yifei's arms.

Liu Yifei saw how cute the little kid in her arms was and said with a smile, "Then you can be my child, okay?"

The child seemed to understand Liu Yifei's words. He hummed, then turned his head and hid in Liu Yifei's arms and smiled.

"It's so cute." Liu Yifei pinched the child's chubby face.

At the launch scene, Zhang Yuanjun took over interviews with domestic and foreign media. He told the reporter of "Hollywood Report": "I am very happy that fans around the world can like the first "John Wick". We never thought at the beginning that there would be a second one. But if fans like it, we should make a second one. I’m still young and can still play, and I will stick to it.”

"Did you get injured during training?"

It’s hard to say much about the significance of “John Wick 2” to Zhang Yuanjun himself.

After all, we are separated by an ocean. If it weren't for the starring role of Zhang Yuanjun, most domestic reporters would have little interest in such an R-rated action movie.

It also depends on how the John Wick series performs.

Of course, Zhang Yuanjun's income from this series as the boss of the production company is another figure.

Because Zhang Yuanjun will prove that he is carrying "John Wick" and he deserves the actor's share.

Liu Yifei's mouth was a little dry, so she stood up to pour water and muttered again: "So is he a younger brother or a younger sister?"

It doesn't mean that Zhang Yuanjun, as the boss of a production company, can open as many movies as he wants. He also has to follow the rules of Hollywood.

"Let mommy see if you are a sister or a brother." Liu Yifei said as she took off the child's diaper.

Foreign media reporters called him "the new generation of Jackie Chan". Zhang Yuanjun rejected this title: "No one can surpass Jackie Chan."

For the first film, Zhang Yuanjun received a salary of US$150 million without any share.

When being interviewed by domestic media, he said: "...I train 10 hours a day, with firearms and movements. It's actually not bad. It's not particularly tiring. It's just for filming."

Then, Liu Yifei woke up.

On the second Monday of March, "John Wick 3" started shooting in New York.

She is currently leaning on the sofa at home.

This marks that Zhang Yuanjun has his own exclusive series in Hollywood.

"It's a dream." Liu Yifei murmured, "It's so weird to dream in broad daylight."

But it doesn't mean that he has entered the front line and become a superstar in Hollywood.

For the second part, Zhang Yuanjun's salary increased to US$200 million, and there was still no share, but he obtained a commitment from the company's board of directors that if the global box office of "John Wick 2" exceeds US$1.5 million, he will participate in the third part (if any). ) and received 8% of the box office share and 4.7% of the back-end share.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanjun's salary did not increase significantly compared to the first film.

"One thing, it's not serious, it's just a scratch." He was reluctant to get hurt in front of the media, mainly because he was afraid that his family would be worried. Every time he said he was injured, he downplayed it.

The reporter asked again: "Yifei has rarely appeared in China in the past two months. We couldn't find anyone to interview her. Do you know what she is busy with?"

"She should be rehearsing in the theater." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "You can send an invitation to her agent, but I can't make an appointment for you if you ask me. She should be busy lately." After the brief interview at the launch conference, Zhang Yuanjun returned to the crew and prepared for filming.

Sitting on a chair, while the set was still being set up, Zhang Yuanjun stared at the ground in front of him in a daze.

Suddenly, I felt that the cement texture on the ground looked particularly like a New Year baby, fat and holding a big gold ingot in his hand.

Zhang Yuanjun looked at himself and smiled.

I began to picture myself playing with this baby in my mind, and the baby said, "How about I go to your house to play?"

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and agreed: "Okay."

"Yuanjun, get ready." Xiao Zhao patted him.

Only then did Zhang Yuanjun come to his senses.

"Okay." Zhang Yuanjun stood up and entered the venue.

Zhang Yuanjun originally wanted to call his wife after the show to share with his wife what he thought about the fat baby today, but he looked at the time and saw that it was already very late in the country, so he put the matter down.

In the following days, Zhang Yuanjun was very tired from shooting every day. He and his wife made overseas phone calls, mostly in love words, and gradually forgot about the fat baby.

…………

"The Invisible Guest" was originally going to be taken to Montreal. Zhang Yuanjun had made an agreement with the film festival officials to invite people to come and watch the film as soon as it was finished.

The film festival officials are also very happy to welcome two international superstars, Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li, this year.

However, "The Invisible Guest" is also being targeted by other film festivals.

Shengsai also wants to invite Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li in September. "The Invisible Guest" is not considered a literary film, so it can be an opening and closing film, which is also very popular.

However, if the Shanghai Film Festival takes action, how should Montreal and Saint-Sermain respond?
The Shanghai International Film Festival knew very well that the boss of this film was Zhang Yuanjun. To show its attention, the festival sent two people to fly to New York to talk to Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun was surprised that the Shanghai Film Festival took the initiative to invite "The Invisible Guest" to participate.

He doesn't have a big opinion on which film festival "The Invisible Guest" should go to. Whether it's Saint-Serre, Montreal, or the Shanghai International Film Festival, they are all very good, and it would be good to go to any one.

"But I made an agreement with Montreal last year and said I would go there." This is where the difficulty lies. It's hard to go back on a promise.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if I don’t go to Montreal. There are too many variables in half a year.

People who attended the film festival said: "Your film will be released in July, but their film festival only opens at the end of August. It won't have any publicity effect if you go there. Moreover, they don't even have a trading market, so it's even more boring to go there."

Someone from the Shanghai International Film Festival also gave him an idea: "You can go to Cannes to sell your film once in May, premiere at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June, and release it domestically in July. What a good pace, why go all the way?" Run to Canada.”

Zhang Yuanjun expressed his worries: "It will take some time for our film to be completed in post-production, and we will not be able to catch up with the registration time for the film festival."

The deadline for film registration for this year's Shanghai International Film Festival is April 4. At that time, I didn't know if "The Invisible Guest" could be completed in post-production.

"It's okay." The Shanghai International Film Festival decided to retain "The Invisible Guest", "As long as you can hand in the film before Labor Day."

As soon as I opened my mouth, I was given a grace period of half a month.

Zhang Yuanjun had to keep this face: "It's easy for me to say, you have to do the work of director and producer. If they agree to go to the film festival, I am an actor, I will definitely go with the crew."

"With your words, it will be easier for us." The staff member smiled, "But there is one more unwelcome request. Can you help us talk to Gong Li and ask her to come to the film festival."

Gong Li is notoriously difficult to hire, and she has rarely participated in film festivals in recent years. It is unlikely that the Shanghai International Film Festival will be able to hire her.

Zhang Yuanjun would not take the job: "I really don't have the ability to invite Teacher Gong Li, so you should go and invite her. You can appeal to her emotions and reason with her. Teacher Gong Li is very easy to talk to."

"Okay, haha, let's talk to Gong Li." (End of chapter)
