Zhang Min got out from under the table, wiped his mouth, and looked at Lan Jieying curiously. "How do you know it was me?" Lan Jieying smiled and said: "Amin, don't you feel it? After being with the boss, our sense of smell has improved a lot. I can smell your breath in this room!" After Zhang Min and Lan Jieying were together with Xu Jinyang, their power attributes increased by 1. In fact, compared to ordinary women, they both doubled. This whole attribute includes the sense of smell. Zhang Han didn't wear heavy makeup, didn't smell of perfume on his body, and didn't have a particularly strong posture, so just now Qiu Shuzhen didn't smell the second person at all, but Lan Jieying smelled it all at once. And Lan Jieying could also guess what bad things they were doing just now. Zhang Han immediately came to his senses at this moment, and looked at Lan Jieying in surprise. "You and your husband are also together? When did you get together?"
In Zhang Han's impression, Lan Jieying has always been a relatively cold woman. Lan Jieying and Xu Jinyang kissed together that day, but Zhang Han was not there. Zhang Han always thought that there would be nothing wrong with Lan Jieying and Xu Jinyang, but he didn't expect that these two people who had nothing wrong would actually be together. Lan Jieying looked at Zhang Min with a smile, and said: "The night before yesterday, I rested for two days before I recovered, and we will all be sisters from now on. In fact, Zhang Min also felt a lot of pressure. She felt that she actually had to recover for a week, but Xu Jinyang hoped that she could accompany him every day. This gave Zhang Han an idea. If only Xu Jinyang had another girlfriend, he wouldn't be under so much pressure. Now Xu Jinyang's new girlfriend appeared, and it turned out to be Lan Jieying, whom he liked very much. Lan Jieying's personality is not particularly good, but her appearance is so beautiful that even girls like her. Zhang Han looked at Lan Jieying with a smile on his face: "Sister Lan, "Sister May 13", I really never thought that my husband's new girlfriend would be you. When did you fall in love with our husband?" When they got together with Xu Jinyang, they changed their tune, calling them the boss outside, and calling them husbands in private. Lan Jieying was no longer shy at this time, and said very frankly: "Actually, the first time I saw our husband, I had a strong feeling at that time. After going through a lot of things, this feeling became more and more intense..." She shared with Zhang Min the process of advancing her relationship with Xu Jinyang. Zhang Han is also going to share with Lan Jieying the progress of his relationship with Xu Jinyang. Seeing Lan Jieying, Xu Jinyang suddenly remembered that he had to meet a very important person today. He asked Lan Jieying: "Is your old colleague Zhou Xingchi here?"
Only then did Lan Jieying remember: "Oh, I almost forgot about him, he's already here, waiting for you in the reception room for a long time!" Xu Jinyang quickly said: "Hurry up and invite him over!" He turned to Zhang Min and said, "Pour two cups of coffee over here!" Although Zhang Han is his woman, but in this workplace, she is now an assistant. Zhang Han obediently served two cups of coffee and was ready to go out. But Xu Jinyang said: "Amin, both of you and Jieying will stay, and both of you may cooperate with Zhou Xingchi in the future. You may see why I am willing to sign Zhou Xingchi after a while. " Zhou Xingchi sat in front of Xu Jinyang somewhat cautiously. Before coming, Zhou Xingchi inquired about Xu Jinyang's identity. Knowing that Xu Jinyang is the son of a chaebol, very rich, and the boss of this film company, he has already made two films, and he immediately yearns for it. In fact, Zhou Xingchi has always attached great importance to money because he was poor since he was a child, and he has always wanted to become a very rich person. So at that time, when he became famous after making movies, he tried his best to become the boss of a listed company, and then he got his wish. He became the chairman of the board of directors of Bigo Group. Of course, at that time, he could only be regarded as an ordinary rich man, far from a real chaebol. Xu Jinyang looked at Zhou Xingchi in front of him with a smile, and didn't get straight to the point immediately, but started a family routine with him. "A Xing, do you still have a sister?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Xu Jinyang in surprise: "How do you know?" Xu Jinyang smiled and said: "You are the talent I fancy, and I must know your situation clearly before I plan to recruit you." Zhou Xingchi felt a little apprehensive, and couldn't help asking directly: "Boss Xu, I'm curious, what do you like about me, I'm just a host of a children's program on TVB, and I usually play some tricks as a cameo." He himself doesn't think he is a talent, why does Xu Jinyang value himself so much? Xu Jinyang smiled lightly: "If I say you are the next Xu Guanwen, what do you think?" Xu Guanwen was Zhou Xingchi's previous king of comedy, who gave him the nickname Laughing General. His works are the pioneers of Cantonese pop culture, satirizing the current situation, laughing with tears, and containing philosophy, capturing the formation of Hong Kong's local culture in the 1970s and 1980s. Xu Guanwen's comedies often depict the working class, while he himself is good at playing the mean boss, with helplessness in his laughter, which deeply resonates with the general public. From 1974 to 1981, his self-written, self-directed, and self-acted comedies such as "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars", "Half Weight", "Modern Bodyguard" and other films won the Xiangjiang annual box office championship five times and broke the box office record of Chinese movies three times , is the director with the most annual box office champions in Xiangjiang. The "Best Partner" series of movies starring his younger brother Hu Guanjie also occupied the box office championship for three consecutive years from 1982 to 1984. Throughout 1974-1984, the Xu brothers (combination or individual) won the box office champions in nine of the eleven years, achieving great commercial success. It can be said that in the comedy world, the 90s belonged to Zhou Xingchi's era, and the 70s to 80s belonged to Hui Guanwen's era!
In fact, since the early 1990s, Xu Guanwen began to slowly move behind the scenes. It is worth mentioning that in 1991, many popular movie stars in Xiangjiang filmed a comedy movie "Banquet of Noble Family" to help raise funds for the flood in the mainland, in which hundreds of guest stars appeared. The director of the film specially arranged for Xu Guanwen, who was over half a century old at the time, to face off against Zhou Xingchi, who was very popular at the time. This should be the only time the two of them appear in the same movie. What's interesting is that in the movie, the two of them fight over a chicken head and a chicken butt at the end of the movie. This seems to herald the handover of the old and new generations of comedy kings! Hearing that Xu Jinyang had such a high evaluation of himself, Zhou Xingchi jumped up from his chair at that time, showing an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise. "No way! What can I do!" You must know that Zhou Xingchi's self-created nonsensical comedy is standing on the shoulders of Hu Guanwen, the first generation of comedy king. It turned out that in that life, Zhou Xingchi once revealed that his nonsensical performance method, which was loved by the audience, was actually formed through imitation and improvement. When I first came into contact with comedy, I imitated the speaking style of Mr. Xu Guanwen, a master of the generation. The second is to imitate "Uncle Bo" Liang Xingbo, the "Ugly King" in the Cantonese opera circle. In addition to studying and observing the essence of these two actors, Zhou Xingchi also revealed that he often imitates Huang Zhan and Li Xiaolong. Some people say that maybe Zhou Xingchi's extremely representative nonsensical way of acting was formed by gathering these big guys, and he succeeded indirectly. Xu Jinyang felt that Zhou Xingchi got inspiration from these people, and then found his own style and another way of comedy performance, which is not so much imitation as innovation. Xu Jinyang laughed loudly: "You already have a nonsensical style now, keep going!" For Zhou Xingchi, the host of a children's program for three years is not without gain. Those exaggerated and funny body movements were honed out in these three years, and combined with the imitation of those masters, he formed his own style . Although there are many talents in the team that Zhou Xingchi cooperates with to give him inspiration, in general, nonsensical comedy was developed by Zhou Xingchi himself. Now Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Jinyang say the words Wulitou. bosom friend! Zhou Xingchi started thinking about nonsensical comedies in this time and space in 1986, but no one liked them. Even Zhou Xingchi didn't know how to name his form of comedy. Now that I hear the three words Wulitou, I feel that this form of comedy is very suitable for me. Wulitou is actually a vocabulary only in Cantonese. It means that a person does things and speaks incomprehensibly, without a center, and his language and behavior have no clear purpose and no reason. In other words, it's inexplicable, the more drunk the funnier it is. Strictly speaking, the language style he adopts is characterized by the use of deviations from the linguistic world, phonetic deviations, lexical deviations and grammatical deviations. Zhou Xingchi seemed to have found a bosom friend, so he confided to Xu Jinyang what he had studied in the past few years. Xu Jinyang listened to him patiently and gave him advice on key points.
In fact, it was to tell the current Zhou Xingchi what Zhou Xingchi had figured out later. Zhou Xingchi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked at Xu Jinyang with admiration. Boss Xu, I didn’t expect you to have so much interest in comedy, listening to you is better than reading for ten years, why didn’t I meet you sooner!” Xu Jinyang looked at Zhou Xingchi with a smile: "It's not too late for us to meet now, you are just wasting time on TVB, and come to our company to shoot movies. I will give you a signing fee of 2 million yuan and a guaranteed annual salary of 200,000 yuan. Even if you don't shoot anything for a year, I will give you 200,000 yuan. Of course, you can't not make a movie, and I want you to make a movie right now. W As he spoke, he took out a script and handed it to Zhou Xingchi. Zhou Xingchi opened it and read: "A Manga Breaks into Tianya." This movie is probably the first nonsensical movie that Zhou Xingchi acted in that time. The general plot is that Xingzi, who loves fantasy and often indulges in the comic world, is accepted by the gangster brother Wei Jie as his subordinate by chance, and becomes close friends with Jie's adopted son Ajun. "A Comic Breaking into Tianya" is an important turning point in the formation of Zhou Xingchi's style... This is a "post-jianghu film" with the main plot of a boy who is obsessed with comics and stumbles into the underworld by mistake, and quits the arena after experiencing life and death. Several characteristics and even the plot of Zhou Xingchi's performance in the film appear familiar in Zhou Xingchi's subsequent works. This film is Zhou Xingchi's representative work in his early "boy image", and it is also his first film in which he single-handedly takes the leading role as an absolute hero. Although the nonsensical performance is still immature, it already has a personal style. In the play, Zhou Xingchi often came up with some brain-twisting questions to test Cheng Kuiya. In Cheng Kuiya's house, he was able to get along with Cheng Kuiya's 8 children. These details should be that the director and screenwriter specially hosted children's programs Zhou Xingchi tailor-made. when this Zhou Xingchi, who was in this time and space, saw the details of those brain teasers in the script, and his eyes were red at that time. "Who wrote this script?" Xu Jinyang smiled and said, "I wrote it!" Zhou Xingchi didn't say a word: "I'll sign right away!" Zhou Xingchi can tell from the script of this movie that Xu Jinyang, the boss of the company, values him very much. As the saying goes, he is willing to follow such a boss instead of A profiteer boss who is as stingy as Shao Yifu. Not to mention, Xu Jinyang's contract conditions are more than 10 times those of TVB. Faced with such generous conditions, there is no reason to hesitate. However, Xu Jinyang proposed: "I want to sign with you for 30 years!" In this time and space, there is no limit to the number of years of economic contracts, and it is also possible to sign for 30 years. Zhou Xingchi hesitated at that time, 30 years is too long after all. Seeing Zhou Xingchi's concerns, Xu Jinyang said with a smile: "The guaranteed annual salary will increase by 10% every year, and after 30 years, it will be million Hong Kong dollars per year! I believe that within 5 years, you will definitely become a first-line star, and then you will be able to get 70% of the salary share! By signing with me, you can enjoy full freedom and great creative inspiration, which you can't get in any other film company!"
Now Zhou Xingchi is moved! Indeed, it is impossible for him to meet a Bole who understands comedy like Xu Jinyang in other film companies! Scholars die for their confidants, not to mention only signing for 30 years! At that time, Zhou Xingchi no longer hesitated and signed his name on the contract. Why is Xu Jinyang willing to sign a 30-year contract with Zhou Xingchi? Because Xu Jinyang wants to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi in "The Mermaid" with a box office of more than 3 billion! Moreover, the time limit for judging Zhou Xingchi's return on investment is also 30 years. "Investment project: Zhou Xingchi Investment period: 30 years Investment amount: 2 million ROI: 1000x!" Now give Zhou Xingchi a signing fee of 2 million yuan, and he can earn 2 billion yuan from him in the next 30 years! Of course, what he earns is not only his salary share, but also the investment share of the films he himself directed, as well as some income from peripheral development. After Zhou Xingchi signed the contract, the system prompted. "Ding dong! Congratulations to the host, before Xiang Hua wins to Huaqiang Brothers' Yongsheng Company, Zhou Xingchi, the king of comedy, is rewarded with 100 million Hong Kong dollars! The 100 million Hong Kong dollars came from their bank accounts with companies, all of which are ill-gotten gains. After a series of complicated traceless operations, the owner's bank account is legally entered, and the owner can use it with confidence!" Seeing that Zhou Xingchi's signing fee was actually 2 million, Zhang Han thought back that his own signing fee was only 1 million. He felt a little guilty, so he whispered in Xu Jinyang's ear. "Boss! Why is the signing fee for him 2 million, which is three times higher than mine?" Xu Jinyang said seriously: "The reason why the signing fee for Zhou Xingchi is 2 million, which is higher than your average rookie, is not only because he has worked in TVB, but also Because he has his own unique style. I believe that the nonsensical comedy he created will not be worse than Cheng Long's kung fu comedy in the future!" Both Chang Han and Lan Jieying greeted Xu Jinyang with shocked faces, looking at Zhou Xingchi with a bewildered expression, they really couldn't believe it You must know that at this time, Cheng Long's kung fu comedy is in full swing, and has recently won the box office champion for several years. They couldn't believe that Zhou Xingchi, who was born as a children's show host and has been playing tricks for the past few years, can be comparable to Chengcheng in the future! Zhou Xingchi was moved from the bottom of his heart at this time, no one has ever respected and valued himself so much! He secretly swore in his heart that he must be loyal to Xu Jinyang until he grows old! Now, Xu Jinyang sent someone to find Wang Jing, and he was going to shoot "A Manga Breaks into Tianya" for Zhou Xingchi.
The other characters are easy to find, Lin Junxian and Dasha are fine, the key is the heroine. Do we still want the original Bo Anni? Or let one of Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Han, and Zhou Huihan play the role? As the film investor, Xu Jinyang is in charge of selecting the heroine and supporting actress, so he wants to take this opportunity to see if he can unwittingly rule a certain beautiful star? (Ask everyone's opinions, do you want this Bai Anni, she is also the heroine Hai Mimi in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Curry Pepper", she is of mixed race, very beautiful, and has a great figure!".
