Chapter 226: The Two Kings of Comedy

After listening to the crosstalk of De* Yunshe, Chen Lin and his couple went to the Yanjing Hotel to prepare for the press conference. At the press conference in the evening, Chen Lin introduced the situation of "The Voice of America" ​​in detail. He also revealed that domestic media organizations such as South Korea, Japan, and the United Kingdom have negotiated to introduce copyrights for the Voice of America, and the Four Kingdoms version will be launched next year.

The reception ended from 6 o'clock until 10 o'clock, and finally all the reporters were satisfied.

In the next two days, Chen Lin went to Changsha, Hong Kong, and Shanghai again and held three fan meetings. Chen Lin generously paid for the fans to have dinner, gave gifts, and also celebrated several fans, which made the fans satisfied.

It was already three days after Chen Lin finally finished handling some mundane things. He and his wife soon visited Xiaoma Pentium Company to discuss the acquisition.

As the two big bosses of Yuhuang Group, they visited the door in person to give them enough face and sincerity. Ma Ming, the chairman of Xiaoma Pentium, finally nodded and agreed to the acquisition plan.

On June 1, 1999, Yuhuang Entertainment Group and Xiaoma Pentium Film and Television Co., Ltd. jointly issued an announcement announcing that Yuhuang Entertainment spent 1 billion yuan, of which 350 million yuan of cash payments and 650 million yuan of equity exchanged to acquire Xiaoma Pentium Film and Television Co., Ltd.

Ordinary people felt that this news was nothing, but in China, even the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, was no less than a bomb.

Xiaoma Pentium is not a small company in the industry. Its business tentacles extend to multiple fields such as TV series, animation, theater investment, new media, performing arts brokerage, etc., and exclusively signed "academic" directors Zhang Jiandong, Gao * Xixi, Wei Dajun and other TV series directors.

In my previous life, this company launched many well-known and popular TV series, such as "The Sky of History", "My Brothers Called Shunliu", the new "Three Kingdoms", "I Am a Special Forces", "Minister Ge Erdan", "Longmen Escort Agency", etc.

Now the merger of Yuhuang Group and Xiaoma, these two first-class companies in the industry, has produced a severe chemical reaction, which has given birth to the birth of the largest private film and television company in China and has given birth to a film and television tycoon with an annual production of 700 episodes of TV series.

Yuhuang Entertainment, a company established on November 2, 1997, has developed into a company with assets of 3 billion yuan and an annual production capacity of 700 episodes. It has hundreds of artists. It has successfully developed its film and television industry in South Korea and the United States.

Such a miracle was staged in the entertainment industry. Just when the domestic entertainment industry was in a turmoil over this news, Chen Lin, the helmsman of the Yuhuang Group, avoided the interview with media reporters and went to a remote mountain village in Huairou, Beijing. Where is "Xiaobao and Kangxi" filming the last few scenes.

It was better to be there than to be a coincidence. When Chen Lin arrived, the crew was about to prepare for the final scene. The cast members saw the big boss coming, but all the preparations for this scene were ready, so it was inconvenient to stop. Everyone was very dedicated and smiled at the big boss as saying hello, and then continued to work.

Chen Lin waved to the crew's actors and signaled that everyone should not care about him. Then he came to the film crew. At this time, a staff member quickly moved a chair to let the boss sit.

Chen Lin nodded and thanked him. She sat down and watched the filming with interest. It was rare to be able to witness the live acting of Zhang Weijian, the "King of Comedy" of TV.

At this time, a screenwriter next to him introduced the content of the last shooting to the boss: This scene is the final curtain call of "Xiaobao and Kangxi", which tells the story of Wei Xiaobao living in seclusion in the mountains with five beautiful ladies. Today, he started to regain his old business when he lived in Yangzhou Jiyuan - telling the story to the villagers.

Wei Xiaobao was sitting on the haystack holding a folding fan and told stories to dozens of villagers:

"The cool breeze is trustworthy, the autumn moon is boundless, but my sweet mood is like the age of the year. Although I am not a handsome man and elegant, I have my broad mind and strengthen my strong arms and wrists!"

"Which Wei Xiaobao was singing this every day. He sang from Lichunyuan in Yangzhou City to Forbidden City in the capital, from the eunuch room in the Forbidden City to the emperor's imperial study room, and from then on, he rose up and made a big jump. He became a legendary figure of the Forbidden City. However, when he was most glorious, he chose to retreat bravely and took five pretty wives to live a life of a god for his family. No one knew where he lived in the future, and since then he evaporated from now on. The story is almost the same. I want to thank everyone here. For so many days, for two months, I have sat here on time to watch my story tell you. At this time, I want to invite my wives to come out and thank everyone."

"Please invite wives--"

After Wei Xiaobao said this, he pointed at the folding fan in his hand, and five women in various shapes appeared in front of the camera one by one. They were Xiaobao's five wives.

The biggest highlight in the drama "Xiaobao and Kangxi" is the all-star lineup, including Wei Xiaobao of Zhang Weijian, Emperor Kangxi of Huang Xiaoming, and Uncle Da Wu Mengda, who plays Eunuch Hai. Apart from these three, the most eye-catching ones are the beauties in front of you. Theirs are: Fan * Bingbing, Lin Zhiling, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Qian, and Li * Bingbing.

Except for Zhang Qian, who is Zhang Weijian's wife, the other four beauties are all characters among the Seven Fairies of the Jade Emperor.

"Do you guys like my story?"

"Like~~"

"Why?"

"Because I have my shadow!"

"Because of sincere feelings."

"Because six wives and one husband can get along so well!"

...

Chen Lin was watching from the side, sighing in his heart, lamenting that Zhang Weijian is not bad at being the "king of comedy" in TV. The funny factors emitted by his every move seem to be born with him. You don't realize he is acting, and at this moment you think he is Wei Xiaobao.

People often compare Zhang Weijian and Zhou Xingchi. The two "Kings of Comedy" dominate the other side, Zhou Xingchi dominates the big screen, and Zhang Weijian calls the wind and rain in the TV industry.

According to what Zhang Weijian once said to the media, the subject of "comedy" may not be understood in his whole life. Chaplin has been acting in comedy all his life. Throughout history, I am afraid no one dares to claim "I am the king of comedy", and even Chaplin is afraid that he does not have the courage.

For many years, Zhang Weijian was the only one who could compete with Stephen Chow in comedy, but he has always been low-key: "Star Chow is my teacher, I will not compare with him, I will always respect him." When asked by the media, he replied: "He made movies, and he was the boss in the movies. When I filmed TV series, these two parts were not in the same concept, so don't compare them."

In the field of comedy and TV dramas, it is not an exaggeration to describe Zhang Weijian as a "big master", but he would rather become "Dugu Qiubai" in this field than advance into the film industry.

Chen Lin was also very curious about why Zhang Weijian did not enter the film field. He asked this question when he talked to him about the script in Hong Kong. Zhang Weijian gave him an unexpected answer: "There is only one reason, I am afraid of failure."

Years of ups and downs have not made him smile calmly enough, just like he has used many years to succeed in many TV series to get out of the shadow of business failure. Jacky Cheung joked that he must make art films when he made a movie. Even if he was scolded for the box office, he was not too failed with the title of "art movie". But when it comes to TV series, he was so arrogant: "I have never lost confidence in my plays, and my play ratings have never been a problem. I have always believed that I have given sincerity in every play, so the audience will definitely like it."

Facts have also proved that Zhang Weijian's words were not bragging, and his plays have always been guaranteed to view. In the entertainment industry, such as Zhang Weijian, Zhou Xingchi, Chen Long, etc., there are only a few actors with brand effects. All works they starred in are qualified to replace the director's signature, called "Zhang Weijian's works", "Zhou Xingchi's works", "Chen Long's works", etc.

Even Chen Lin’s idol Liu Tianwang is not qualified to sign the “Works of Liu Dehua” in the film at present.

Basically, Zhang Weijian's opinions in the drama "Xiaobao and Kangxi" are sometimes bigger than those of the director. The whole drama is obviously his style, so investors buy his account. When the filming was just halfway through the filming of this drama, Fangtai * Wan CTV had already bought the premiere right for RMB 40 million. This is the market value of Zhang Weijian.

At this time, as the director shouted "cut" the last scene was finished, "Xiaobao and Kangxi" was completed, and the director asked the boss Chen Lin to announce the completion.

Chen Lin did not refuse, and he stood in front of the entire crew and shouted loudly: "I announced that "Xiaobao and Kangxi" have been completed, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh—yeah—finished—"

All the crew cheered, and after a long time of happiness, everyone dispersed. Chen Lin and the crew star Zhang Weijian, five beauties, director, producer and screenwriter, etc. went to the village chief's house.

In the past few days, all the people in the crew lived and ate and lived in the village. The village chief’s house set up a table of farm dishes to entertain several guests.

"Dicky (Zhang Weijian), I'll give you a cup and congratulate you on the completion of "Xiaobao and Kangxi".

"Mr. Chen——"

"Hey~~dicky, we've met a few times, so we're friends, just call me Linzi or Xiaolin."

"Haha, then I'm so proud. Okay, Linzi, let's cheer and congratulate you on the completion of "Xiaobao and Kangxi"."

"That's right, cheers."

A glass of wine brought the relationship between Chen Lin and Zhang Weijian a lot. Chen Lin came to the crew this time to visit the set, but naturally he personally took the initiative to recruit Zhang Weijian and his lover Zhang Qian to join.

He formally offered an invitation at the dinner table: "Dicky, Sister Qian, I have another purpose this time to invite you two to join on behalf of the Royal Court Agency."

"Xiaobao, Sister Mu. You just agree. If you don't agree to us four sisters, you will ignore you Xiaobao." At this time, the four smart seven fairies saw the boss invite Dicky to join the company, so they also helped to become lobbyists with a good intention.

"Haha, it's useless for me, Wei Xiaobao, to be entrusted with the emperor. But ~~ I must not ignore the words of the four beautiful ladies!"

"Ha~Xiaobao, you really understand my heart. Then just follow me back to the palace."

"Slave Wei Xiaobao obeys the order."

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The five beauties at the dinner table couldn't help laughing when they saw Chen Lin and Zhang Weijian singing together. For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table was different again. Now that the table is full of their own people, the atmosphere must be more harmonious.
Chapter completed!
