Superstars start as villains

Chapter 223 Hard work pays off.

After the contract was terminated, Chen Yao came to the capital with a feeling of apprehension. Looking at the logo of "Zhixing Film and Television" on the outer wall, Chen Yao clenched his fists.

Wang Li took Chen Yao to Anli's office to report. As the director of the artist department, she was in charge of all the company's artists.

Anli flipped through a document, and looked up at Chen Yao from time to time, which made Chen Yao very nervous. Before she came in, Wang Li had told her about this person's position in the company.

"Is your height 170 cm according to the information? Is it your actual height, or..." Anli glanced at Chen Yao's high heels.

Chen Yao quickly took off his high heels, and then stood up straight.

Anli nodded, and then put down the information in his hand, with a smile on his face: "Don't be so nervous, your qualifications are indeed good, the company will try to train you, but you also know the profession of actors, you can't be sure if you are praised Hong, the key depends on yourself, hard work is always right."

Chen Yao hurriedly bowed: "Thank you sister Anli, I will definitely work hard."

In fact, when Anli said "try to train", Chen Yao's heart skipped a beat. Cai Yinong didn't say he was just "trying to train" her when he was in "Tang People".

Anli seemed very satisfied with her well-behaved attitude, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to her: "This is a recent self-produced drama by the company, and it is expected to be launched after the filming of [Wuxin Master], you should familiarize yourself with the script first .”

Chen Yao was taken aback for a moment, what's the matter?Didn't you just say "try to cultivate"?Why did you give her resources right away?However, such casually given resources are probably not a good character, right?Is it a trick?It shouldn't be, the script is quite thick.

Just as Chen Yao was about to open the script, Wang Li patted her on the shoulder and smiled, "What's the rush? The character can't escape, so go to my office first. You just came to the company, so I have some things to explain."

About half an hour later, Chen Yao came out of Wang Li's office. Wang Li told her many of the company's "hidden rules". Dig over, don't you want to.
As a result, Wang Li glanced at her with great interest: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am the proprietress' manager and also her best friend."

At that time, Chen Yao wanted to slap both of himself.

"Zhang Qian, she will be your life assistant from now on." Wang Li took Chen Yao to the first floor and waved to a little girl with glasses.

After speaking, he said to the little girl: "This is Chen Yao, a newcomer from the company. You take her to the apartment arranged by the company to settle down, and take her to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment by the way."

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Qian patted her chest and said, taking Chen Yao's suitcase by the way.

"Shall we take a taxi? Or take the subway?" Chen Yao asked.

Zhang Qian said with a simple smile: "No, the company's apartment is very close, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk there."

Chen Yao stood on the overpass and glanced at the surrounding environment. As a graduate of Beijing Film Academy, she has lived in the capital for more than four years. The location here is on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road, and the rent nearby should not be cheap.

Sure enough, Zhang Qian didn't lie. In less than 10 minutes, they arrived at the gate of a community, which looked pretty good.

"The rent here shouldn't be cheap, right?" Chen Yao asked curiously.

As a result, Zhang Qian said straight away: "It's not cheap, but the two floors of this building are owned by the boss. They used to be rented out by an intermediary. Later, when the company had more artists and needed a place to stay, the boss rented it directly to the company, saving the need for an intermediary." The difference is made at both ends.”

"Two floors?" Chen Yao swallowed. A house like this would cost at least three or four million yuan, right?two floors?How much will it cost?
"Our boss is so rich?"

Zhang Qian skillfully entered the access control code, and smiled proudly: "Of course, otherwise, why would you reject LeTV's acquisition?"

"Let me tell you, don't look at the size of our company as it seems to be small, in fact it makes a lot of money. The boss is just too low-key, otherwise it would not be a matter of minutes to go public."

Chen Yao suddenly had a new understanding of "Zhixing Film and Television", not because the boss was rich, but because Zhang Qian kept talking about "our company". Obviously, she had a lot of affection for "Zhixing Film and Television", even her tone There is also a hint of pride in it.

In the entertainment industry, the position of life assistant should be regarded as a relatively low-level existence. They are responsible for taking care of the daily life of celebrities. If they accidentally meet those hard-to-serve celebrities, this job will definitely be a kind of torture.

Chen Yao has also come into contact with some life assistants in "Tang Ren", and all of them have a very negative attitude towards the company and work, and they are basically holding on to each other. Over Zhang Qian's demeanor.

"603 is here." Zhang Qian took out the key and opened the door.

Chen Yao was stunned immediately when she saw it, not because of the poor environment, but because the environment was much better than she imagined, the living room was spotless, it should have been cleaned just now, although the furniture was not brand new, it was probably new. There is air conditioning, TV, and sofa.

And the orientation is also good, there is a large balcony in front of the living room, three bedrooms and one living room, it seems that the usable area is at least more than 100 square meters.

"Not bad, right?" Zhang Qian said with a little complacency.

Chen Yao showed a smile: "It's not just good, it's really good."

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, the sunlight coming through the balcony glass just fell on Chen Yao's face, and she was stunned for a while.

"A beautiful person looks good when he smiles." Zhang Qian muttered.

Chen Yao's face turned red when she said this, and he squeezed Zhang Qian's face with a smile: "Sycophant."

Zhang Qian pouted: "I'm telling the truth. In fact, before doing this, I also wanted to be a star. I also participated in a talent show. Unfortunately, I was not good at looks and talent, so I had to give up. Later, I just wanted to do this to get closer to the stars, so I came to be a life assistant."

"Yao Yao, you look so good-looking, no wonder the company values ​​you so much."

Chen Yao pointed to himself: "Important? Me?" Didn't he mean "try to cultivate"?

"That's right, you don't think the company is so rich that all the artists can live in this kind of apartment?"

Zhang Qian's words made Chen Yao blush slightly, she seemed to really think so just now, but after what Zhang Qian said, she suddenly came to her senses, took out the document, opened it, and it turned out to be a script.

"Girl number one?"

Although I don't know how much the production cost of this drama is, and who is the male lead, no matter how stupid Chen Yao is, he will not think that the company will directly provide resources for a new artist who is "trying to cultivate" the female lead.

So what Miss Anli said before about "trying to cultivate" was just to keep her from being proud?
The speed of "Tang Ren" is still impressive. Two months later, the filming of "Wuxin Master" officially started. In the crew, Chen Yao met old acquaintances Jin Chen and Han Dongjun.

During the chat, Han Dongjun said proudly: "Do you know? I will be partnering with Brother Hu soon, and I will play the male third."

Jin Chen was full of envy, and Chen Yao was also somewhat envious. Although he was only the third male, he was playing with Brother Hu after all. It seemed that the "Tang people" really trained Han Dongjun as the "second brother".

Zhang Ruoyun on the side asked curiously: "Oh? What play?"

"It seems to be called something. [Great Time]"

Chen Yao's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say?"

On the other hand, Zhou Xing has also become busy recently. [Slaying the Wolf 2] is scheduled for June 6th, and Tony Jia also came to the mainland to cooperate with the promotion.

In order to reduce the loss of piracy, this time "Zhixing Film and Television" tried to premiere simultaneously in Asia for the first time, and the whole company was crazy busy.

The publicity effect is the best in the mainland. After all, Zhou Xing and Tony Jia are the first two kung fu superstars to cooperate. Coupled with Zhou Xing's own terrifying box office appeal in the mainland, the pre-ordered box office for the premiere on June 6 exceeded 18 million.

Thailand is also the top priority of this promotion, and because of the explosion of [Thailand] before, the tourism industry in Thailand has developed rapidly. This time [Slaying Wolf 2] has also received the support of the Thai government, not to mention Tony Jia Such a Kung Fu superstar with first-class box office appeal.

What people didn't expect was that, apart from China and Thailand, Japan is the one who is most looking forward to this movie.

But it’s also true to think about it. When Chenglong became famous before, he had the most fans in Japan. Obviously, the Japanese have a preference for kung fu movies.

The reason why the simultaneous global premiere was not held was mainly because the North American agent failed to negotiate. After watching the sample film, Lionsgate offered 1200 million US dollars to buy out the North American distribution rights. Zhou Xing did not agree, even though it was already in Chinese The film is currently the highest price for North American copyrights.

"Ah Xing, this price should be their limit." Gao Qunshu reminded after the meeting.

Of course Zhou Xing knew that he was not Chenglong at his peak, and he was able to sell at such a price thanks to Tony Jia's influence, but he still wanted to wait, at least until the first day of [Slaying the Wolf 2] Let's talk about the box office.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

On June 6th, [Slaying the Wolf 18] Premiere Press Conference, Zhou Xing and Tony Jia both attended, interacted and communicated with the audience, the audience was also very enthusiastic, especially for Tony Jia, Tony Jia himself did not expect, He actually has so many fans in China.

The press conference lasted for about an hour, the lights in the premiere hall went out, and the title animation of "Zhixing Film and Television" flashed on the big screen.

In the opening scene, Hong Wengang, played by Goo Jai, showed the world the insanity of the organ reselling gangs. They didn’t even spare pregnant women. In their eyes, a person is not a whole, but a donor of organs. All the organs in the body are represents banknotes.

Chen Zhijie, played by Zhou Xing, is an undercover agent. In order to make the gang accept and trust him, he even did not hesitate to test himself for drugs. Later, because of his drug addiction, he was turned into a ghost.

The leader of the gang, Hong Wengang, could not find a donor because of congenital heart disease, so he could only linger on his last breath. Before death, he did not hesitate to blame his own brother.

In order to avoid the fate of tragic death, my younger brother wanted to escape from Xiangjiang, so two groups of people fought at the ferry. Chen Zhijie, played by Zhou Xing, was taken to Thailand, and because his identity was exposed, he was locked up in a Thai prison. The only contact phone was lost. into the sea.

The previous plot was quite urgent, and the fighting part was covered by the gun battle, which was not so exciting, but the plot was smooth and the atmosphere was tense, and the audience was not impatient because of it.

Finally, after entering the prison, Chen Zhijie wanted to escape from the prison, and the prison guard guarding him was Achai.

On the big screen, Chen Zhijie, played by Zhou Xing, is naked from the upper body, exposing strong but not exaggerated muscles, which is slightly different from the previous Wing Chun boxing. Together, and the Muay Thai used by Tony Jia is also swift and violent, with both elbows and knees.

Pi Gua Quan has a long history, and Qi Jiguang compiled it into it when he wrote "Ji Xiao's New Book". With the surround sound effect in the cinema, the audience even felt the fist wind whizzing past their ears.

And Tony Jia's muay thai movements did not show any weakness, the fists, elbows, and knees collided rapidly, and the speed was so fast, but the short 3-minute fight made people's blood boil.

In the end, Chen Zhijie, played by Zhou Xing, wanted to find the mobile phone signal, but was shot down from the protective net and arrested.

Zhou Xing and Tony Jia looked at each other and smiled. The sighs of the audience proved that their suffering was not in vain.

In fact, for many Kung Fu fans, whether this episode is good or not will directly affect their evaluation of this drama. They don't care that the final boss is Zhang Jin, they are here for Zhou Xing and Tony Jia.

Therefore, after discussing with Xiong Xinxin and Kwan Zhaolong here, Zhou Xing adopted the movements of Pi Gua Quan and Hong Quan as a supplement. However, it is useless to design only the movements. At that time, it was quite troublesome to cooperate, and injuries became commonplace. It took almost a month to film a scene of just a few minutes, which shows how difficult this scene is.

Then, as the plot progressed, the protagonist's uncle and nephew fell into a desperate situation. The desperation was even suffocating. Only then did many viewers remember that the director of this play is Du Qifeng.

Before Zhou Xing, Tony Jia and the final boss Zhang Jin confronted each other, a female killer holding two daggers caught the attention of the audience. Her black leather jacket perfectly set off her fiery figure, and the two daggers were as fast as lightning. Cleanly and neatly killed all the policemen with guns.

"Who is this girl? I haven't seen it before."

"The figure is really good, and the movement is also good."

Wang Zhi's eyes suddenly turned red. Although the audience didn't know her name, someone finally wanted to find her through the role, which showed that her role creation was successful. So many years of martial arts practice were not in vain, and those hardships were not in vain. eat.

Tong Lia patted her hand lightly, silently comforting her.

In the end, the female killer played by Wang Zhi was killed by Zhou Xing, and Wang Zhi's character was offline. When many audiences sighed, Wang Zhi smiled happily with tears in his eyes.
