This time, no one from Zhang Hehuan came over. He called Xu Ke who was in the capital. Xu Ke has been preparing for the project "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" during this period. His project was not going well. He changed the boot date several times. Now it has finally been scheduled to start the production in Northeast China in November this year.

Xu Ke and Wu Yushen were once a tacit partner in the 1980s. Later, because Wu Yushen refused to film "The True Color of Heroes" III, the two were a little unhappy. Xu Laoqiu was so angry that he simply directed the Song of the Sunset himself. The box office of this sequel movie was not as good as before.

The two old friends also felt a grudge about this incident, but more than 20 years have passed. During this period, Wu Yushen went to Hollywood and achieved good results. Xu Ke has developed in the Hong Kong circle. Now they have come to the mainland to actively seek careers.

Zhang Hehuan asked Xu Ke to accompany him because he wanted to make drastic changes to "Taiping Wheel". He was worried that such behavior would anger Director Wu. With the presence of Old Monster Xu, Director Wu would have to give some face.

On the way, Zhang Hehuan had already told Xu Ke what he meant. Xu Ke sighed: "Hehuanzi, Hehuanzi, if you said it early in the morning, I wouldn't have come to your muddy waters."

Zhang Hehuan said: "You are the artistic director of Xinxingyuan. As a member of the company, you can't do anything without exercising your efforts in the company."

Xu Ke said: "You are not the Taiping Wheel, you are just a pirate ship. You have to drag me up to be willing to do so."

Zhang Hehuan couldn't help laughing.

Xu Ke said: "I don't understand. Everyone is optimistic about the project "Taiping Wheel". Why did you take action at this time?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "I think it can be saved..."

Wu Yushen complained when he saw Zhang Hehuan, and the main actors stopped acting one after another, so how could he still film?

Zhang Hehuan waited for him to complain, and then smiled and said, "Director Wu, don't be angry if I tell you something."

Wu Yushen looked at Xu Ke, and Xu Ke spread his hands and said that he had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Today our company has officially terminated its contract with several major actors, involving four leading actors, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo, and David Tong."

Wu Yushen was stunned when he heard the news. He stared at Zhang Hehuan in a daze.

Zhang Hehuan said: "The termination contract has officially come into effect, and it is basically based on friendly negotiations and peaceful breakups."

"Nothing! They don't act anymore, where can they find actors?"

Xu Ke said: "I also think nonsense. Hehuanzai and Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are pretty good. Why did you drive her?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "She has a high salary, and her ability to carry the box office is very average. I set her as the number one heroine. I have no confidence in the box office. It's not that I opened her, but that she took the initiative to terminate the contract, and I just agreed."

Wu Yushen held it in for a long time and said one sentence: "I can't shoot this movie anymore. Mr. Zhang, please terminate the contract with me."

Old Monster Xu said: "You have spent so much money, and it is probably too late to leave now."

Wu Yushen glared at him. This guy was afraid that others would not know that he was a mixed friend and said something angry. He regarded the work as his child, and of course he did not want to give up halfway.

Xu Ke said: "Hehuanzi, Zhang Ziyi is gone, who can replace her?"

"Jun Zhixian, I told her that she promised to play this role."

Wu Yushen heard that Jun Ji-hyun was going to replace Jang Ziyi's role. Jun Ji-hyun may be a little weaker in acting, but Jun Ji-hyun is definitely much stronger than Jang Ziyi in terms of box office appeal, especially now that she is becoming popular in Asia with the role of Chi Song-yi in "You From the Star".

Wu Yushen said: "She is not cheap either!"

Zhang Hehuan smiled and said, "Friendship price, I will give you the role of David Tong. I'm cheaper, I don't even need a penny to pay, and I'll pay in."

Xu Ke praised: "It's not bad. The combination of you two is invincible, and the box office is now guaranteed."

Even if Wu Yushen does not agree with Zhang Hehuan's excessive interference behavior, he has to admit that his partner and Quan Zhixian will definitely increase the popularity of the movie to a higher level, and said, "It is difficult for Korean actors to communicate."

Zhang Hehuan said, "I am responsible for communication." He thought to himself, Lao Wu is not kind now. Korean actors are not easy to communicate, but neon actors are easy to communicate? Song Huiqiao is not a Korean actor? How did you communicate in the past?

"But part of the scene between Huang Xiaoming and Song Huiqiao has been filmed, why should we terminate the contract with them?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Wu, I have an idea to cut off all their lines."

"What?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "You didn't think about dividing the movie into the upper and lower episodes at the beginning. I took over this project and didn't have any plans to do so. Tell me what I think. The total length of the movie is limited to three hours as much as possible. After taking over this project, I carefully studied the script of "Taiping Wheel". I think there are great shortcomings in the script."

Wu Yushen said nothing.

Xu Ke was a little worried that Zhang Hehuan would anger Wu Yushen, and he insulted: "Hehuan, you said the script is not good after the movie has been filmed yet? Don't think that you are the boss and you have the final say."

Zhang Hehuan said: "I don't disrespect Director Wu's intentions. Because I took over this project in the middle, I can only put forward my own opinions now. I think this movie over-promotes the theme of love. Three couples have too many stories, and they are suspected of losing the main character. I think Director Wu's strength is to dispatch the big scenes, not love for children. Director Wu, the Taiping Wheel you want to shoot is not a romance film, right?"

Wu Yushen's eyes lit up. His initial idea was not like this. Zhang Hehuan said nothing wrong. He is not good at shooting love movies.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Based on the original script, I made changes and cut off the storyline between Huang Xiaoming and Song Huiqiao. I personally think it will not have much impact on the plot of the entire movie." He handed the script he adapted to Wu Yushen.

Wu Yushen hesitated for a moment and took it over.

Xu Ke said: "Three pairs become two pairs, and you only have a lot of money left for the pay."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Don't be lazy. I will leave some of the additional special effects to Xinxingyuan to complete. Director Xu, I can build a studio for you."

Xu Ke said: "Why don't I know?" He understood that Zhang Hehuan would definitely hand over this matter to Donggua. Xinxingyu formed a special effects team under the banner of setting up a studio for him. The real person in charge of the team was Donggua.

In terms of computer special effects, Donggua is definitely the top expert in China. Xu Ke thought in his mind that if some of the special effects of Taiping Wheel can be successfully made, then "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" can be handed over to them with confidence.

Wu Yushen said: "Hehuan, you will indeed reduce the cost."

Zhang Hehuan said: "I estimated that the subsequent investment of this movie is limited to 80 million. If the cost is too high, the box office pressure we face will be very high."

Wu Yushen said: "I can't say anything now. I want to read the script first."

Zhang Hehuan said: "If Director Wu has any dissatisfaction, he can point it out directly."

Wu Yushen nodded, saying that he would continue shooting, but he was actually in a upset mood because he didn't know what Zhang Hehuan would change the script to.

Zhang Hehuan and Xu Ke didn't stay for a long time. On the way back, Xu Ke complained: "Hehuanzi, Hehuanzi, you asked me to tie him up. Lao Wu is gentle on the surface, but he is very stubborn in his bones. When I asked him to shoot the true character of heroes III, he just didn't shoot."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "People will always change. No one wants to make this movie better than Director Wu. The problem is not his. I have learned about this project. Li Ming has intervened too much. Director Wu is actually not satisfied with the script. He doesn't like too many love scenes in the script."

Xu Ke said: "That's right, he is not good at shooting love themes. I wonder if he will put pigeons when the male and female protagonists hug them." At this point, Xu Ke couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Hehuan said: "So I have made many changes to the script, and I believe Director Wu will like it."

Xu Ke said: "Huang Xiaoming and Song Huiqiao have already received a lot of pay, right? Why should they be cut off?"

"This line does not need to exist, and they don't have any sense of CP at all."

Xu Ke said: "They have a lot of fans."

"There are no use for many fans. If you can make fans willing to enter the cinema, that is the box office appeal. In this regard, none of them can do it!"

The fact that Xinxingyuan took over the "Taiping Wheel" project caused a lot of shock in the film and television industry. Most people think that they took over a hot potato, and of course some people are optimistic about Xinxingyuan's entry. Not only did Guo Kaige not withdraw his investment, but also added investment, and went against the opposition and took over the investment share of other investors by taking over 60 million.

In addition to Guo Kaige, Qiao Shengtian also noticed this matter. He is a shareholder of Xinxingyuan. The company will inform him as soon as possible when encountering such a major event.

The encounter between Qiao Shengtian and Zhang Hehuan was at Li Ming's funeral. The two of them came outside after attending the memorial service.

Qiao Shengtian said: "You are really brave. You dare to take on the "Taiping Wheel" project."

Zhang Hehuan said: "There are gods three feet above your head, so it is not suitable to talk about this place."

Qiao Shengtian laughed: "Okay, let's get in the car and talk."

I met an acquaintance in the parking lot. Wang Zhonglei from Huayi Film Industry. Qiao Shengtian went over to shake hands and exchanged greetings with him. Wang Zhonglei looked at Zhang Hehuan and said, "That's Zhang Hehuan, right?"

Qiao Shengtian called Zhang Hehuan over and introduced them to them.

They had actually heard of each other, so Zhang Hehuan shook hands with Wang Zhonglei.

Wang Zhonglei said: "Mr. Zhang, I like watching your movies very much. We will cooperate with you if you have the chance in the future."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your appreciation. I have some business dealings with your company recently."
