Chapter 31: Discussing New Projects with Old Monster Xu, Wild Horse Zhang Yu A! 【Request Data】
“Wei Di, maybe he wanted to please me. After all, you took my role of Gao Gang. We've been on set for so many days, filming every day, and we've developed a bond. He's probably just sticking up for me.”
Old fox Zhang Han Yu was cool as a cucumber, immediately distancing himself from the situation.
“Developed a bond? You're both guys. How do you develop a bond?”
Liu Wei wouldn't let it go!
“……”
Zhang Han Yu was speechless, his mind full of black lines. Liu Wei's words had him frozen.
Just as he was frozen, and everyone was holding back laughter, someone burst out laughing, breaking the tense atmosphere!
Then everyone started laughing.
Liu Wei frowned. This wasn't giving Zhang Han Yu an easy way out.
“Wei Ge, I didn't mean to.”
Yu Nan, wearing a thick coat, giggled.
Liu Wei ignored her.
“Okay, stop watching the show. Now that Du Yi Heng is done filming, get him out of the crew!”
Old Monster Xu made the final decision.
He wasn't stupid. He could see that Du Yi Heng was out of his mind, provoking Liu Wei, and it was probably related to Zhang Han Yu.
But Zhang Han Yu didn't seem flustered at all, which meant he probably wasn't deeply involved. He might have just said a few things.
Du Yi Heng wanted to please him, so he did this.
It must be said that Old Monster Xu, having been in the entertainment industry for years, had become an old fox. With a glance, he had guessed the truth pretty much.
…
Old Monster Xu's temporary tent.
“A Wei, ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy’ is almost finished filming. Don't let Zhang Han Yu get hurt.”
With no one else around, just Old Monster Xu and Shi Nan Sheng, Old Monster Xu got straight to the point.
“You figured out it was related to him?”
Liu Wei asked.
“We're not blind. Of course we can see it. But it's probably still Du Yi Heng being eager to rise, wanting to please Zhang Han Yu.”
Old Monster Xu said.
“The Mei Gong He operation, before you showed up, the male lead, Gao Gang, was his. Now you've taken the role, and he's not happy about it. It's understandable, after all, he's not young anymore. He wants to act in more A-level productions.”
Shi Nan Sheng said.
“I'm not young either. Why should I give in to him?”
Liu Wei scoffed.
“Can you stop making things up? You're at your golden age. Now that you've awakened, your image and temperament have transformed. It's the perfect time to break into the big screen. He can't compete with you. You'll only leave him further behind. So there's no need to worry about him.”
Shi Nan Sheng said.
“I can see you don't want me to retaliate against him. I'll give you both face. Let him come apologize to me, and I'll pretend nothing happened.”
Liu Wei said.
Old Monster Xu and his wife were helpless but they had no choice but to agree.
Because back in the day, they had a flop film that cost them a lot of money. They borrowed from everyone in the industry, but no one wanted to help. In the end, Liu Qing Ji helped them.
Liu Wei had been in the entertainment industry for years, and they hadn't repaid his favor.
Now they owed him a bigger favor!
Now that Liu Wei had spoken, they couldn't refuse!
…
“Apologize to him?”
Zhang Han Yu was called in, and after hearing what Old Monster Xu said, he was stunned.
You don't hit someone in the face. If he apologized, would he even be able to hold his head up anymore?
“Zhang Han Yu, you've been in the film industry for years. What happened with Du Yi Heng provoking Liu Wei? You know perfectly well, right? There were a lot of people there, so we gave you face. Now we've called you in privately. We've given you enough face. Don't make Old Xu and me lose face!”
Old Monster Xu was drinking tea, and Shi Nan Sheng played the bad cop.
“Wei Di, I'm sorry. It's my fault. But I need to explain. I wanted Du Yi Heng to give you a hard time, but after I said it, I thought it was inappropriate, so I took it back. There's no need for me to lie about this… But who knows, he still did…”
Zhang Han Yu weighed the pros and cons and spoke.
“What company is Du Yi Heng signed with?”
Liu Wei asked.
“Hua Shi Yu Le. The same company as Hui Ge.”
Zhang Han Yu said.
“Director Xu, don't work with Hua Shi Yu Le in the future. After all, I was provoked on your set. You won't let me smack him in the face, so don't work with them anymore.”
Liu Wei said.
“Alright, are we on the same page now?”
“We're on the same page.”
…
Seeing that things were settled, Zhang Han Yu knew it was nothing to do with him anymore.
Liu Wei and Old Monster Xu would definitely not let him stay, so he left.
As soon as he left, Old Monster Xu said, “After filming ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy,’ I have two projects. One is ‘Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons,’ and the other is ‘Di Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings.’ Which one are you interested in? We can work together.”
“Both are male lead roles, right?”
Liu Wei said.
“With your current abilities, they would definitely be male lead roles. I talked to Chen De Sen. Your performance as Feng Yu Xiu was excellent. You completely overshadowed Zhen Zi Dan. You can carry the whole film!”
Old Monster Xu said.
“Is ‘Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons’ your project or Stephen Chow's?”
Liu Wei asked.
“We're doing it together.”
“Then how do you divide the power?”
“……”
“‘Di Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings’ is the third film in the series. Its potential has already been exhausted. Unless the script is far superior to the previous two films, it might be profitable.”
Liu Wei said.
“I can tell you're not interested in either of these films.”
Old Monster Xu laughed.
He wasn't too optimistic about these two projects either, but in the film industry, you can't just do what you want.
He had to repay some favors. These two projects were initiated by the investors.
He had put it off for a long time, but he couldn't put it off anymore.
“Right, I'm not interested in either of those projects. I still favor military themes. Like this ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy.’ If we work together, we can capitalize on the success of ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy’ and greenlight a ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy’ prequel. I can talk to Yu Dong about it.”
Liu Wei said.
“So you've already planned it out. I was thinking of using these two projects to give you a choice, to repay your father's favor. But it looks like I can't anymore.”
Old Monster Xu said.
“As long as ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy’ prequel is greenlit and you agree to direct it, I consider it repayment of the favor.”
Liu Wei said.
…
Du Yi Heng woke up, groggy, and saw Zhang Yu A, who played the nurse Bai Ru.
Seeing the wife of the big director Wang Quan An, Du Yi Heng felt a bit embarrassed.
“Du Yi Heng, you're so pitiful. You got kicked out cold. Is that Liu Wei really that powerful?”
Zhang Yu A teased.
“I didn't even see him kick. I just flew through the air.”
Du Yi Heng said awkwardly.
“You want to provoke someone, you need to have the strength to do so. You, on the other hand, just charge forward blindly to get ahead. You'll die quickly like this.”
Zhang Yu A said.
Just as Du Yi Heng was feeling embarrassed, his company called.
“What? They're terminating my contract?”
Du Yi Heng was dumbfounded when he heard that his company, Hua Shi Yu Le, was terminating his contract.
“You can't kill someone without leaving any trace. It must be Liu Wei pressuring them!”
Zhang Yu A couldn't stand it anymore. How could he be so ruthless? Besides, you didn't even get hurt. Is it necessary to go this far?
She knew very well how Du Yi Heng had achieved his current status. It wasn't easy.
He made one mistake and they kicked him out of the industry. That's too harsh!
“It's too late for regrets now. It's my fault for losing my head.”
Du Yi Heng, suffering a major setback, was distraught.
“No, that's not right. I was practicing horseback riding, and my horse went out of control. You were the first one to run to control the wild horse. Otherwise, I would've been injured. I owe you this favor. I'll go talk to Liu Wei myself!”
Zhang Yu A finished and went to find Liu Wei.
…
Leaving the tent, Liu Wei collided with someone.
He didn't care, but the other person clutched their chest and crouched on the ground in pain.
This was the consequence of having too much capital.
“Zhang Yu A!”
Liu Wei recognized her.
Although Blue Star and Earth were very similar, they also had many differences.
Some of the stars on Earth weren't on Blue Star.
The role of Bai Ru wasn't played by that actress, but by Wild Horse Zhang Yu A!
