When the sky was bright, Zhou Wen carried Wang Zuxian back to the hotel and arranged for several staff to go up the mountain to collect the props. Zhang Guorong came out in his pajamas and was surprised when he saw the two people's posture.
"Xiaoxian is injured?"
Wang Zuxian lay on Zhou Wen's back and grinned happily: "Hey, I accidentally injured my knee, but Brother Wen has already taken care of it for me."
"You're fine, but I'm unlucky. I'm exhausted from carrying a big living person down the mountain." Zhou Wen rolled his eyes depressedly, and said to Wang Zuxian, who was still leaning on his back: "Girl, we've already gone down the mountain, so you can Come down, don¡¯t you know you¡¯re heavy?¡±
"Hmph! I'm not heavy!" Wang Zuxian pouted and jumped off Zhou Wen's back angrily, showing no signs of being injured.
"What are you doing? It's not like you're filming an action scene and you can get injured." After Zhang Guorong looked at this and that, seeing the two people's expressions as usual, he subconsciously asked: "Is the filming finished?"
"It's finished. Hey, a simple action has been done more than 20 times, which is the most awesome record since I directed. Xiaoxian, I will sort out those NG shots into highlights so that others can see your feat." Zhou Wen sat on the chair Go up, he joked with a smile.
"How dare you! If you show it to others, be careful, be careful that I ignore you!" Wang Zuxian wrinkled his nose and threatened fiercely.
However, her threat has no lethality at all and can only make people feel cute. Zhang Guorong asked curiously: "Is there any scene in it that is not suitable for children?"
"The content is healthy, but it's just that Xiaoxian made a mistake once" Before Zhou Wen finished speaking with a smirk, Wang Zuxian rushed over with a tiger face and fought hard, hitting Zhou Wen with his pink fists: "Don't say it, no You must laughotherwise I will really ignore you!"
¡°Uh, okay, actually it¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just a mistake, just a mistake.¡±
The more Zhou Wen explained, the more interested Zhang Guorong became. Wang Zuxian kept asking questions and was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot.
"Stop stomping, be careful of the injury recurring." Zhou Wen pointed at her knee and said, "It takes a lot of energy to massage with dark strength, okay?"
Zhang Guorong said with some envy: "Awen's secret massage is very pleasant. Congratulations to Xiaoxian for enjoying the treatment like a king and a superstar!"
"Humph, I'll ignore you. I'm going to bed!" Wang Zuxian left angrily.
"Awen. What's going on with you two? You're so weird."
"It's really nothing. Hey, I'm so tired carrying Xiaoxian down the mountain. I'm going to rest." Zhou Wen left with a smile.
Zhang Guorong scratched his head. He felt that things were not that simple, so he went back to his room, changed his clothes, and went up the mountain to watch with great interest.
After finally arriving at the set, Zhang Guorong saw seven or eight crew members busy pouring water outside before he could take a breath. The studio was rented from the Fenghuang Mountain Scenic Area, and it had to be cleaned up after filming. This was fine. The problem wasthese people not only poured water outside, but also carried a lot of broken wood.
"Hey, what's going on inside?" Zhang Guorong stopped a staff member and asked.
¡°Go in and see for yourself, we won¡¯t be able to clean it all morning.¡± The staff member complained gloomily.
Hearing this, Zhang Guorong took a few steps into the ruined temple. Good guy, he saw that the entire set seemed to be flooded. The ground was drenched with water, and many of the original decorative furniture were soaked with water. Not to mention, there were several filming props that seemed to have been violently damaged. The most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the bathtub used for filming. At this moment, it was lying on the ground in pieces, as if silently telling the world its pitiful experience.
"Isn't it just a show? Why did it sound like the end of the world? Was it really that grandma ransacked this place last night?" Zhang Guorong's head was now filled with questions and confusion. Reminiscent of Zhou Wen saying that this was a mistake, and it was Wang Zuxian's fault. He became more and more curious about the truth of the matter.
But now it seems that there is no hope of getting the answer from the two parties involved. Zhang Guorong couldn't help but focus on the two cameras, thinking that he might be able to find the answer from inside.
While Zhang Guorong was making random guesses on the mountain, Zhou Wenzheng was "negotiating" with Wang Zuxian in the hotel at the foot of the mountain.
"Brother Wen, you didn't leave the last box of film on the mountain, did you?" Wang Zuxian looked a little worried.
Zhou Wen pointed to the sealed film on the table and said, "Here, take it back together."
Hearing this, Wang Zuxian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Just take it back!"
Zhou Wen patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I won't be handled by outsiders. Besides, it doesn't matter if someone sees me. We haven't done anything."
Wang Zuxian said with a straight face: "But it ruins the image. Usually I am in the universityThere are all good girls in front of me It's all your fault! Just don't let others see it. "
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Brother Wen"
"Huh? What else do you want?"
"Does the agreement between us still count?" Wang Zuxian's voice could not be lowered.
"There seem to be two agreements between us. Which one do you ask?"
"Which one else? It's the promise we made on the mountain last night."
"I've hooked my fingers for you, but if you don't keep the promise, you're still a puppy." Zhou Wen said with a smile: "I don't want to be a puppy, of course I have to keep the promise."
"Really?" Wang Zuxian finally saw a smile on her face after hearing this. She chuckled and said, "I knew Brother Wen was the best."
Zhou Wen said: "First of all, you have to meet my customized requirements and goals. If you can't achieve it in your life, haha."
"I will work hard!" Wang Zuxian said unconvinced.
"Okay, I agree to all your requests. Go and pack your gifts. Also, don't forget to take some medicine to prevent colds."
"Kick me away again, you really hate people." Wang Zuxian curled his lips and stood up, suddenly remembered something, bit his lip and asked: "Brother Wen, I heard from Aunt Hong that massage and acupuncture can do something."
"What?" Zhou Wen blinked in confusion.
"That's it." Wang Zuxian gestured anxiously with his hands in front of his chest, and even scratched a few times, his face full of shame.
Wang Zuxian just made a gesture, and Zhou Wen immediately understood what it meant, and said in panic: "Uh! No way, how could Aunt Hong tell you such a **** thing."
"It's normal for women to talk about these things, what's the fuss about it." Wang Zuxian said disapprovingly: "I just want to know if I can get bigger."
"Strictly speaking, it has some effects, but this kind of thing requires money. If the money is enough, there is still hope of getting bigger through fixed acupoint massage." Zhou Wen bared his teeth and said with a very embarrassed look: "Xiaoxian, in fact, your figure That¡¯s good. Don¡¯t worry about that.¡±
¡°Brother Wen, I¡¯ll leave this difficult task to you, okay?¡±
"This is not good"
"Anyway, I've been seen and touched by you, and I won't let you take responsibility. Why are you so shy?"
"!"
"A Chinese Ghost Story" has been completed. That afternoon, Zhou Wen led the crew back to Hong Kong Island. Along the way, Zhang Guorong kept asking what happened last night, but his throat broke when he asked. The two parties unanimously emphasized that it was an accident and a mistake.
Zhang Guorong widened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Accident? If the water spilled was an accident. How was the bathtub destroyed? Don't tell me that you fought 300 rounds with grandma last night!"
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Wang Zuxian took a deep breath and said, "Do you still remember the plot of the script?"
"Remember." Zhang Guorong nodded and said: "At that time, in order to avoid the investigation of grandma and Xiaoqing, Ning Caichen hid in the bathtub to hide the smell of his body. Because he had been holding it in the water for too long, his head was exposed, and his head was exposed by grandma. Smell the smell. In critical moments, Xiaoqian"
"Yes, the problem was that when I bent down, the inertia was too great and I accidentally overturned the tub. Then Brother Wen and the tub rolled on the ground with a loud bang. The bucket cracked, the water spilled, and Brother Wen crawled out in wet underwear. There were flower petals all over his face, and he looked as embarrassed as he could, hahaha."
"Real or false?" Zhang Guorong was confused.
"If you don't believe me, ask Brother Wen." Wang Zuxian was a little nervous because he was causing trouble.
Zhou Wen¡¯s mouth kept twitching, and he said angrily: ¡°What she says is true.¡±
"Damn. It turns out that the truth is so boring. I wasted all my morning guessing, but there is no reliable one." Zhang Guorong muttered dissatisfiedly after hearing this.
"What are you guessing?" Now it was Wang Zuxian's turn to be curious.
"I also thought that the two of you, a man and a woman alone, took advantage of the thunder and fire on the mountain to reenact the story that Nie Xiaoqian and Xiahou Swordsman had to tell. Tsk, tsk, how sexy and sexy that would be."
"!"
Zhou Wen and Wang Zuxian both looked at him with disdain. Then Zhang Guorong's begging for mercy came from the car.
¡¡Dividing line¡¡
"The Legend of Wesley" has a cumulative box office of 28 million in the third week of its release, ranking second in the annual box office, with less than 8 million behind the box office champion "Brothers and Brothers". Boss Lei is quite satisfied with this result, and he felt very happy and gave it to the crew Everyone distributed red envelopes, and on the second night after Zhou Wen returned to Hong Kong Island, he invited friends in the industry to hold a grand celebration cocktail party.
According to the current box office trend, "The Legend of Wesley" can probably recover around 35-40 million in cost. In other words, Boss Lei actually lost money on this movie. He invested 58 million before and after, except for the special effects, which accounted for ten Except for one-third, the remaining money was mainly wasted on the first version of filming. Zhou Wen was responsible for reshooting and spent less than 20 million until completion, of which 8 million was his salary and director's fees.
Even so, Boss Lei is very contented. He knows that if Zhou Wen hadn¡¯t taken over, the film¡¯s performance would have been disastrous. He doesn¡¯t care if it flops at the box office. It would be a tragedy if he was laughed at by Mr. Jiahe Zou and lost face.
Moreover, regardless of the box office and word-of-mouth success of "Brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers", everyone in the industry knows that Cheng Long is a lavish master, and Jiahe is also making money at a loss. The two families are laughing at the same time, but it's just that Boss Lei was just a little bit lucky and met the lucky general Zhou Wen!
"Awen, I paid the final payment of 8 million to your company's account a week ago. Now the box office is 28 million. In two weeks, it will definitely surpass "Brothers of the Dragon and Tigers". Haha, I have been suppressed by Golden Harvest for more than a year. Today I¡¯m finally feeling proud. Come on, I¡¯ll give you a toast!¡± Boss Lei let out a hearty laugh.
After clinking glasses, Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Brother Kun is really happy, but the red envelope you sent is too heavy, I feel a little undeserved!"
The amount in Zhou Wen¡¯s red envelope is 2 million, which shows what kind of situation Boss Lei is in.
"Is that much? I feel like it's not enough. Compared with the face you made me gain, this little money is nothing. I originally wanted to give you a sports car, but when I thought about you having a world-limited luxury sports car, right? You may not notice other goods, so I¡¯d better give you some money to get some benefits!¡± Boss Lei waved his hand quite generously.
"Thanks to Brother Kun for your love." Zhou Wen handed over his hand and thanked him.
Boss Lei said carelessly: "Awen, I heard that your new movie has been completed. When is it going to be released? The Golden Princess Cinema is ready around the clock. It doesn't matter if you want to keep showing it for half a year!"
Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised and said: "You will lose money in half a year. A costume ghost movie does not need such a big deal."
"It is because the outside world is not optimistic about costume ghost movies that I strongly support you. You have earned me face. How can I not support you at the critical moment!" Boss Lei said seriously: "The more they look down on costume movies. I It has been in theaters for more than half a year. As the screening time is extended, the box office must reach a staggering number."
Boss Lei¡¯s idea is very simple. Others don¡¯t like it, right? I use theaters to strongly support it. He doesn't believe that a movie can't make money after half a year of release. Even though he is a businessman, sometimes the things he does are very gangster-like. This is completely to support Zhou Wen.
The so -called papaya, report it to Qiong!
"Thank you, Brother Kun, for your generous help. Ah Wen here's a toast to you!" Zhou Wen raised his glass in return and was quite moved.
"Seeing outsiders, not seeing outsiders!" After finishing his drink, Boss Lei suddenly pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I heard that your "Boxer" sold well in North America. One month after its release, the sales expanded from 50 to 300. Do you think you can give me an accurate figure on how much net profit Zhou has received?"
"It's not much. The first period's box office share is less than 5 million after tax." Zhou Wen smiled mysteriously: "This result is very average in Hollywood."
"Very average?" Boss Lei's eyes popped up and he grinned: "If Zou Wenhuai hears what you say, he will definitely vomit three liters of blood. The income from the two movies he praised Cheng Long may not be as much as your first income, you kid , ugh, I¡¯m so envious!¡±
Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows and said with a bold tone: "If Brother Kun is interested, we might as well join forces, you contribute the money, I contribute the efforts, and strive to make him a fortune on the other side of the ocean!"
Boss Lei heard this. He nodded vigorously and said: "What a courage. I have been waiting for your words for a long time!"
"Haha. Aren't you afraid of losing all your money? Look at Jiahe after so many years of hard work. Has Cheng Long not only been losing money in North America?"
"He, Zou Wenhuai, can afford to lose money. I, Lei Juekun, have a richer family than him, so there is nothing I can't afford to lose!" Boss Lei said nonchalantly: "The key is that I have confidence in you, and that's enough!"
¡°Then it¡¯s such a happy decision!¡±
The two clinked glasses and drank, chatting and laughing.
"Oh, congratulations to Boss Lei, congratulations to Boss Zhou."
Zhou Wen's eyes narrowed, and the expression on his face immediately became exciting: "Boss Jin, why are you here?"
Boss Lei explained with a smile: "I have some business cooperation with his boss, and Yongsheng is also an upstart in the industry, so I invited him over by the way. I didn't expect you and Mr. Jin to know each other."
The person who came was none other than Jin Shaoyang, who came forward tonight on behalf of the two bosses Huasheng and Huaqiang. He scratched his head and said sheepishly: "??The boss is too polite. Mr. Jin is not Mr. Jin. You call me Xiaoyang or Ayang. Awen and I have known each other for a long time. Moreover, Yongsheng is able to develop today because of Awen's guidance. "
"Oh? You are really a lucky general. I said that Yongsheng was unknown a few years ago. It seems that he appeared overnight. It turns out that you are the military advisor behind him. No wonder, no wonder!" Boss Lei exclaimed repeatedly, Zhou Wen's The light of connections and the complexity of the network behind it were indeed beyond his imagination.
"I just said casually at the beginning. The key is that Yongsheng has found a suitable development path." Zhou Wen smiled. You must know that he had no good intentions at the beginning, otherwise he would not have encouraged Yongsheng to develop the AV business in Japan. .
"Next week, "The Hardcover Chasing Girls" will be released. Before I came, Boss Huasheng specially told me: If Boss Lei has time, please be sure to attend the premiere?" Jin Shaoyang smiled and looked naive. He has been in charge of Yongsheng for more than a year. The evil spirit on his body has been covered up a lot, and his words and deeds at this moment are somewhat like those of a successful person.
"Absolutely!" Boss Lei nodded, raised his glass and said, "You two chat first, I'll go over there to socialize."
When Boss Lei left, Jin Shaoyang said with a smile: "I can't tell, but you and Boss Lei have an extraordinary relationship. With the backing of this big benefactor, the rise of the Zhou family is just around the corner."
"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief!" Zhou Wen looked at him coldly and said, "Tell me, what kind of bad idea did you have?"
"Don't think so badly of me, okay? Don't we have serious discussions with you when I come to see you?" Jin Shaoyang said with a bitter face: "Okay, let me tell you directly, the company just signed a female artist, and the boss meant to give her away I will train you for half a year to increase her fame and worth."
"" Zhou Wen held his head against the pain: "Damn, why are you looking for me? I don't run a storage center."
"Hey, you are the boss who is the best at flattering people in Hong Kong. Do me a favor, just give me some face." Jin Shaoyang begged with a wink.
"Let's talk about this later. I haven't seen her before, so I don't know how to package and position her." Zhou Wen said with a lack of interest and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Jin Shaoyang: "Brother, don't leave in a hurry. I know you don¡¯t have time to see her, so why don¡¯t this help you call someone over.¡±
Jin Shaoyang couldn't help but turned around and shouted into the distance: "Amin, come over and have a drink with Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Wengang was about to complain about Jin Shaoyang's generous offer, but when he saw the appearance of the girl clearly, he immediately changed his mind¡ª¡ª
The situation is not right, the 24,000 plan went bankrupt, and the weather is so hot that I feel dizzy.
