Chapter 202: Not Inferior to Feng Xiaogang in Skill

In the evening, Wu Yuchen took a shower and came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. Seeing Da Meiyuan lying on her side on the bed watching TV, she was so exquisite and charming that she couldn't help but jump to the bed, hugged her and kissed her: "It smells so good!"

Gao Yuanyuan was amused and giggled, then adjusted his position, hugged Wu Yuchen's arm, leaned his head on Wu Yuchen's shoulder, and continued to watch the TV, obviously attracted by its content.

Wu Yuchen also turned to watch what was playing on the TV, and saw Ning Jing appearing on the screen. At this time, she was soaking in the river, being pulled across the river by a blond foreigner. Wu Yuchen recognized it at a glance, hehe, isn't this "Yellow River Love"!

It was the Sixth Princess who was playing the movie at this time, and it was almost at the end, so Wu Yuchen did not disturb Gao Yuanyuan while watching the movie.

Within a few minutes, the movie ended. Gao Yuanyuan looked at the tragic ending and couldn't help but hug Wu Yuchen's arms again. Wu Yuchen's voice came to his ears: "What do you think of this movie?"

"It's very beautiful. I think it's quite touching!" Gao Yuanyuan replied without thinking.

Wu Yuchen smiled. To be honest, this movie was very good in terms of the actors' performances, shooting techniques, plot settings, soundtrack, and sensationalism, but there was only one thing he didn't like.

"If you think about it carefully, don't you think it's a little weird?" Wu Yuchen said.

"Weird?" Gao Yuanyuan was confused, and then began to think about the movie he just watched, but he still couldn't get a clue.

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but remind: "Don't you think that the position of this male protagonist, a foreigner, is too high? He hooked up with the most beautiful heroine in the movie throughout the whole process, and so many people sacrificed to protect him along the way."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan also understood what Wu Yuchen was talking about, and said hesitantly, "But isn't this rescuing international friends?"

Wu Yuchen sighed in his heart, this is really a characteristic of the times these days. Internationalist educational concepts and blind worship of foreign cultures have led many people to think that this is normal. Well, in order to protect a foreigner, hundreds of lives were lost, and everyone thought it was normal...

Wu Yuchen then said: "Okay, let me change the question. If the male protagonist was replaced by a black man, would you still feel moved?"

"Ah... no!" Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but was stunned, and immediately shook his head. It was hard to imagine a black man becoming the leading actor and enjoying such treatment.

Wu Yuchen scratched her face with his finger: "Look, aren't black people international friends? Why can't you accept it?"

"This, this..." Gao Yuanyuan was a little speechless.

"So, whether the director did it intentionally or unintentionally, this movie places the status of this white man too high. In fact, it subconsciously exports to people that white people are superior to others and can have sex with our most beautiful girls and enjoy the whole process. With their service and sacrifice from soldiers to ordinary people, they finally returned to their own country safely.

And what about us Chinese? You should sacrifice for them, as if you are inferior to others, and then the audience should be moved by this "fearless" spirit. Don't you think something is wrong? So, although this movie is technically good, I don't like it very much. "

As Gao Yuanyuan listened to Wu Yuchen's words, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She had an ideological struggle in her mind for a while, and then her face couldn't help but collapse, and she asked Wu Yuchen like a child who made a mistake:

"Brother Chen, am I particularly stupid? I have never thought about what you said, and I am still touched by myself. I find that I am just like what you said, and subconsciously regard foreigners as superior to others. Could you Are you laughing at me?"

Seeing her little appearance, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but kiss her lovingly: "Fool, how could I make fun of you? It's too late to even like you!"

Then he put his arm around Da Meiyuan's shoulders:

"It's not your fault. On the one hand, our country is temporarily lagging behind, and people have a strong mentality. They will subconsciously link the country's strength with race. On the other hand, there are a group of public intellectuals in our country who have made too many brainwashing remarks. You You were affected without even realizing it.”

It’s not Wu Yuchen’s lie. This is the era when public knowledge is in power, and it is a time when investment is strongly encouraged. These people can brazenly praise the Western world and no one will care. The background of the times is here...

Let’s just say that China is competing for Oscar spots this year. If it weren’t for John Woo’s “Love,” guess which movie it would be? That's right, it's this "Yellow River Love"!

Why don't you think it's Lao Mouzi's "No One Less" or "My Father and Mother"? Who knows why! Maybe these people really think that this movie makes an old beauty the protagonist, kneeling down and licking her, which will greatly increase the chance of winning. In the end, I wasn’t even shortlisted...

"As for you, just remember that Americans, Europeans, Hong Kong Islanders and the like, just because the regional economy is developed, does not mean that they are superior to others and are not better than us. When our economy is ten or twenty years from now, As strength and confidence rise, national self-confidence will naturally rise."

Listening to Wu Yuchen's words, Gao Yuanyuan nodded, looked at Wu Yuchen's eyes with little stars shining in his eyes, and said with admiration: "Brother Chen, no one from Europe, America, Japan or Korea can compare to you, you are the best!"

From the moment she met Wu Yuchen, Da Meiyuan was attracted by his talent. Not only did he win awards in succession, but he also aroused the admiration of Lao Mei. Following him in Xiangshan these days, he became a guest of officials from all walks of life. The US$100 million came out of his mouth easily, just to build his own film and television city and to build the Chinese film and television industry.

Wu Yuchen now seems to be the most powerful and majestic man in the eyes of Damei Yuan. He is completely conquered from body to heart and believes everything he says!

To be honest, Wu Yuchen thinks that Gao Yuanyuan is really suitable to be a girlfriend. Not only is he beautiful, but he is also soft and caring. He also often looks at you with such admiration and loving eyes, which greatly satisfies the man. The vanity makes people feel sweet and happy, it is simply too awesome!

Even though he had experienced various situations and received various compliments from many people, the more he looked at Da Meiyuan at this time, the more he liked her, and he couldn't help but kiss her.

…

In the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University, a stout man with a beard bowed and held a dollar inlaid with exquisite plexiglass. The number was 25666666, a very auspicious number. It also had the words "Swordsman" written on it. To a short old man.

Jin Yong smiled and said: "Producer Zhang, you are really thoughtful!"

Jin Yong has just been invited by the School of Humanities of Zhejiang University to become the honorary dean this year, and he comes to Zhejiang University several times every year.

The bearded Zhang Jizhong said enthusiastically: "Teacher Jin Yong, what are you talking about? You are willing to charge us only 1 yuan in copyright fees. We at CCTV will definitely remember this kindness!"

Jin Yong put the souvenir in his hand on the table, and then generously signed his name on the contract on the table. After putting away the pen, he told Zhang Jizhong again:

"Producer Zhang, I don't ask you to make "The Swordsman" as good as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". I'll be satisfied even if it's half as good. One more thing, respect the original work!"

The reason why Jin Yong was willing to give the other party 1 yuan for the copyright of the novel was partly because of the face of CCTV, and the other half was because of Zhang Dabeard's ability. After all, Dabeard's previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" were It's really well shot, and it's no exaggeration to say it's a classic.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jin, I will definitely follow the standards of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin for "The Swordsman" and I will not let you down, Mr. Zhang!" Zhang Dabeard's chest clapped loudly.

Walking on the campus of Zhejiang University, Zhang Dabeard was in a good mood. In the past two years, Jin Yong's dramas have been popular in Hong Kong. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon" have successively hit the mainland TV screen, which also allowed him to see the popularity of Jin Yong's dramas. How good his foundation is. If he can get the copyright of "Swordsman" this time, his bearded man will definitely be able to make another hit!

Just at this moment, Zhang Bearded's cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, then quickly answered the call: "Hello, Director Wu!"

A few hours later, Xiangshan County.

Wu Yuchen shook hands with Zhang Dabeard and greeted warmly: "Brother Zhang, I didn't expect that you are actually in Hangzhou and you came here so quickly!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that Director Wu would also go to Zhejiang Province. We are destined! But even if I were in Beijing today and Director Wu called me to recruit me, I would still have to fly over here!" The bearded man speaks freely in this scene, and he deserves to be a producer.

Next to Wu Yuchen, Gao Yuanyuan also smiled and said hello to Zhang Bearded: "Hello, Producer Zhang!"

"Hello, hello, Miss Gao is getting more and more beautiful!" Zhang Dabeard naturally recognized that this was Gao Yuanyuan. Seeing her following Wu Yuchen, he knew the connection without even thinking.

In fact, given his status as a bearded man, he didn't need to be so polite to Gao Yuanyuan. It was only fitting that these actors should fawn over him, a big producer. But, who asked her to follow Wu Yuchen without looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face? Wu Yuchen's current status in the industry is no longer comparable to that of his bearded man.

Although he is very popular in the TV industry with his big beard and is a very famous figure, no matter how awesome the small screen is, he can't compare to the big screen! What's more, a leading figure in Chinese films like Wu Yuchen?

After a few people sat down, Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I heard that you are busy running "Swordsman" recently?"

"Hi, Director Wu, to tell you the truth, I came to Hangzhou this time to sign a contract with Mr. Jin. Thanks to Mr. Jin who thinks highly of me, I have already negotiated the copyright and will start preparations soon." Zhang Bearded also said There is no hiding it, after all, many people in the station know it.

Wu Yuchen smiled and praised: "I got the copyright of "Swordsman" from Mr. Jin for 1 yuan, and that's you, Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Bearded quickly waved his hand:

"Director Wu, you are so flattering to me. This must be a trivial matter for Director Wu. If you are willing to make a movie, Mr. Jin will definitely give it to you for free!"

Wu Yuchen asked casually: "Brother Zhang, what do you think of our homeland? Can I play a role in your "Swordsman"?"

When Zhang Dabeard heard this, his thoughts came true. When I met Wu Yuchen today, he called him "Brother Zhang" affectionately, making it clear that he wanted to see him if he had something to do. It seemed like he was asking for a role for his little girlfriend?

But it’s not strange to have a big beard. This kind of thing is quite normal in the industry. Besides, Gao Yuanyuan is indeed quite beautiful. No wonder Wu Yuchen is so interested in her.

Zhang Dabeard pondered for a while, Wu Yuchen had to give him this face, but he had to see what role he wanted first. If it was Ren Yingying, he definitely couldn't just accept it. "The Swordsman" is his first Jin Yong drama. He must film it well to become famous, and he cannot let his connections mess it up.

He turned to Gao Yuanyuan and smiled kindly and said, "Miss Gao, I wonder which character you like?"

Gao Yuanyuan said embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't read the novel "The Swordsman", I have only watched the Hong Kong version of the TV series..."

Wu Yuchen laughed and interjected: "The role of Ren Yingying, Yuanyuan, is not suitable. In fact, the little nun Yilin is suitable. But I guess, Brother Zhang, you want to ask the actor to cut his head, which I am not willing to do. Look at the little nun." How about junior sister Yue Lingshan?"

Zhang Dabeard looked at Gao Yuanyuan back and forth a few times. He was really beautiful, but he felt that his temperament was still somewhat different from Yue Lingshan's. Gao Yuanyuan seems a bit quiet, while Yue Lingshan has a arrogant, willful, cheerful and frank personality.

Yue Lingshan is equivalent to the second female lead in the play. She was even the first female lead in the early stages. Her total role is not much less than that of Ren Yingying. She is a very important role. If it was a supporting role, or even Yilin, he could directly promise to Wu Yuchen, but for such an important role as Yue Lingshan, he would naturally be reluctant to give it to Gao Yuanyuan just for the sake of face.

"Director Wu, Miss Gao is naturally beautiful. There is no need to say anything about her appearance. But for the specific effect, I have to see how her makeup looks. As you know, sometimes actors are completely different after applying makeup."

Zhang Dabeard praised Gao Yuanyuan, and it seemed that they were all good things, but he didn't respond to anything. He was very skilled in making jokes.

Wu Yuchen also understood the meaning of Zhang Dabeard's words, smiled softly, and stretched out his hand to indicate to Dabeard to drink tea.

Zhang Dabeard thought to himself that he was indeed a great international director, and he had great airs. He wanted to get a role for his little girlfriend, so he went all the way to call him over. But they were all in the industry and their status was high, so he could only endure this.

After Wu Yuchen put down the tea cup, his expression turned serious and he said to Zhang Dabeard: "Brother Zhang, I've come to see you this time. We are actually working together on a big event!"

Zhang Dabeard's mind is filled with questions. Didn't you ask me to come here just for the role? Now what tricks are you trying to use to deceive me?

However, he immediately cooperated and said: "Director Wu, if you want me, Lao Zhang, to help, just tell me!"

Wu Yuchen didn't care whether what he said was for the occasion or not, he continued:

"As for me, I started my career through movies, and I also made some money from the film and television industry. Now I don't say that I am successful, but I still have some modest achievements, so I thought about doing something to give back to our Chinese film and television industry."

Then Wu Yuchen pointed out the window and said: "I recently negotiated a cooperation with Xiangshan County to develop and build a film and television city here, intending to turn it into the largest film and television shooting base in our country."

Zhang Beard immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "When you drink water, think of the source, and when you drink the water, think of the roots! Director Wu, your level is really high!"

Wu Yuchen thought to himself, the bearded man's skills in flattering and complimenting people are as good as Feng Xiaogang's. Coupled with his shadow and video shooting skills, it's no wonder he can stand out!

"Brother Zhang, I know your ability. It just so happens that "The Swordsman" is about to be prepared. How about it be set in our Xiangshan Film and Television City?"

That's right, Wu Yuchen is interested in Big Beard's traffic. Don't underestimate Zhang Big Beard. These Jin Yong dramas of his have received waves of traffic, and they were all hits of the year. Moreover, Zhang Dabeard is also very good at building shooting bases and building a base in one place. In the previous life, Xiangshan Film and Television City was able to open because Bearded Man wanted to film the sacred sculpture.

"Director Wu, our film "The Swordsman" will start filming next year. Is it too late?"

Zhang Dabeard expressed his reluctance tactfully, "You are planning to build it but you haven't built it yet. I will leave the ready-made Wuxi Film and Television City unused. Why do you use it?" Wuxi Film and Television City was built by Zhang Dabeard himself when he was filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin".

Wu Yuchen chuckled, knowing that this guy would not take the bait without giving him some sweetness:

"Brother Zhang, I will sign a contract with the county the day after tomorrow. This time the investment amount is US$100 million..."

Big Beard thought, so what if 100 million is needed? It's not like he hasn't spent 100 million before. He spent hundreds of millions on the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before. Although it wasn't his share, it was all from the Central Government... Wait, dollars. ?

"100 million U.S. dollars?!" Zhang Dabeard couldn't help but ask with his eyes wide.

"Yeah, $100 million."

Wu Yuchen nodded, and then continued: "I'm thinking, if Brother Zhang is willing to join in and work together on big things, I will give him 1% of the shares."

"Give me shares?"

"Yes, this share is in your hands. You can do whatever you want with it. You can withdraw if you want. I will exchange it for you in cash according to the price." Wu Yuchen said calmly.

Zhang Dabeard suddenly felt his mouth go dry. Although it is only 1%, 1% of 100 million US dollars is 1 million US dollars, which is 8 to 9 million yuan when converted into Chinese currency!

Although Zhang Dahu is already a big producer, he has always worked for the stage. For example, for the filming of "The Swordsman", Yang Ma gave tens of millions of dollars for the filming, but as a producer, he The most people can earn is a salary. There is no way, people are like this in the system!

And now, as long as he nods, he will get the $1 million directly!

This... Zhang Bearded's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't control his restless heart at all.

Wu Yuchen took a sip of tea and stopped talking, just letting Zhang Dabeard think by himself. This was what he had planned to give to the other party in advance. If he wanted the horse to run, he would have to give it grass to eat, let alone this shrewd bearded man?

In fact, even if he doesn't do this, once Zhang Dabeard succeeds in filming "The Swordsman", he will directly leave CCTV and start his Jin Yong drama-building film and television city model. Don't think that he only makes money from his film remuneration. In fact, he has to build a film and television base for every drama he shoots, and he personally holds a small share in the film and television base. With his big beard and the reputation of Jin Yong drama, he is very attractive to various places. He's very powerful, so I don't mind sharing it with him.

Now, Wu Yuchen took advantage of the bearded guy before he got rich, and tied him to the chariot of Xiangshan Film and Television City. If you become a shareholder yourself, why don't you build your own film and television city?

Zhang Dashu knew that he couldn't ask for cash now. He was still in Yangma, and asking for cash was against discipline. But he can hold this share silently for now!

The bearded man knew that this was an opportunity to change his life. He rarely encountered such an opportunity in his life. He mustered up his courage and boldly asked: "Director Wu, can you give me more?"

Wu Yuchen looked at the bearded man with a faint smile: "Brother, how many do you want?"

The bearded man raised two fingers:

"Director Wu, I'm not only filming this one, "The Swordsman", I've filmed this one, and there will definitely be "The Condor", "The Condor" and "Dragon" to follow. I promise to bring them all to us. Come and film in Xiangshan! From now on, as long as it’s my Lao Zhang’s TV series and those of my friends from all walks of life, I will introduce them all to our Xiangshan!"

Wu Yuchen rubbed his chin as if thinking, while Zhang Dabeard looked at Wu Yuchen nervously, his palms already starting to sweat.

There is no way, this point is only one million US dollars. He is almost 50 years old now with a big beard. Let alone one million US dollars, he has not saved even one million US dollars. There is not much money earned in the system! The bearded man has made a faint determination. When the filming of "Swordsman" is finished, he will leave Yang Ma!

"Okay, I trust Brother Zhang's ability! You can attend the signing ceremony the day after tomorrow with me. You are also a shareholder of our company, so you can witness it with your own eyes!"

Zhang Dabeard was immediately overjoyed. He had just received 2 million US dollars, and now he suddenly became a multi-millionaire!

The bearded man stood up immediately, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Wu Yuchen: "Director Wu, please don't call me Brother Zhang anymore. I can't bear it. Just call me Old Zhang!"

Then he chuckled and said: "As the saying goes, gold is like gold, and jade is like jade. I joined this Xiangshan Film and Television City and became a shareholder with Director Wu. This is also a way to benefit from your talent. Wait. God, this rotten wood like Lao Zhang might be able to enlighten me!"

Looking at Zhang Dabeard's appearance, Wu Yuchen felt as if he was looking at a fat version of Feng Xiaogang. His licking skills were not inferior to Xiaogang's!

Zhang Bearded not only poured tea for Wu Yuchen, but also for Gao Yuanyuan, and said immediately:

"Miss Gao needs to have good looks, good temperament, and popularity. She is also a top student at Beijing Film Academy. She is top-notch in everything, and her age is just right. I think she must play the role of Yue Lingshan. No one else is suitable for her! "

What difference in temperament does it matter? He, Lao Zhang, could give her a suitable look and teach her patiently. This is the woman of his God of Wealth!

Wu Yuchen gently patted Gao Yuanyuan's little hand: "Thank you, Producer Zhang."

Gao Yuanyuan immediately picked up the tea and showed a bright smile: "Thank you, producer Zhang. I will prepare well when I get back. I will read the novel several times first. I will play Yue Lingshan well and live up to your expectations!"
