Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Two The Fallen Movie Emperor
At noon, Jiang Bei had just returned home after buying groceries. He happened to meet Liang Liang who had returned and asked, "How are things going?"
Liangliang smiled, took out her phone, shook it for a while and replied: "The photos have been taken, I will start the operation after dinner."
"Okay, before anyone suspects it, hurry up and make 'Late Summer'. Also, do you remember the "Wandering Blue" I wrote before? It has already entered post-production, and this movie can be used by then.
Go prove it, and the problem will be solved."
Jiang Bei also looked proud when he said this. He didn't expect that the script he wrote when he was competing with Youyou could come into play and solve this matter perfectly.
"That's right! My brother has written a movie called "The Wandering Blue" before, but are you sure that movie will work?" Liang Liang was stunned, and then asked with a frown.
Although she knew her brother's talent, everything was full of unknowns until the results came out, and no one could be sure.
"It's okay." Jiang Bei replied calmly, but his words revealed confidence.
As a movie with a box office of 4.6 billion in its previous life, even if different people have different opinions on it, they cannot deny the success of this movie.
"That's ok, what should we have for lunch today?"
"Your favorite shrimp is Jiwei. By the way, where is the manuscript?" Jiang Bei couldn't help asking when he saw Liangliang's empty hands.
Liangliang paused after hearing this, touched it up and down, and said in shock: "Ah! It was left in the park outside the community."
"..."
When Jiang Bei followed Liang Liang to the Huajing Park outside the community, the group of children had already left. Du Wang searched around for a while and said with an annoyed look on his face: "I remember taking it here just now...
Why is it missing?"
"Can you save me some trouble?" Jiang Bei was speechless. Although it was a script that had already been released, it was still a manuscript. It was used as evidence to prove 'Midsummer'. If it was taken away by someone with intentions, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
"I'm sorry." Liangliang apologized weakly.
"Look again. If you can't find it, think about where else you went this morning."
How could he be in the mood to preach to Liangliang? He looked around, and finally his eyes were attracted by a man with a slovenly and vicissitudes of life not far away.
To be precise, I was attracted by the white paper in the man's hand.
"Is this what Mr. Jiangbei is looking for?"
"Who are you?" He looked at the man walking over and asked suspiciously.
"Ah! Manuscript." Liangliang stepped forward and snatched the manuscript away.
The man did not stop him. Instead, he handed it to Liang Liang and replied with an unchanging smile: "Xu Hanzhou, a has-been actor."
"Thank you." Looking at the manuscript in Liangliang's hand, Jiang Bei nodded in thanks.
But he can't leave.
Because his identity has been exposed.
But Xu Hanzhou seemed to have no idea at all and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave first. See you later, Mr. Jiang."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Bei called to him.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Jiang?"
"Why don't you make a request?"
"Since Mr. Jiang said so, I won't be polite."
"..."
A Chinese restaurant.
Jiang Bei never expected that the vicissitudes of life man in his forties before him would be so "shameless" and start a counter-routine operation with him.
"Mr. Xu is really humorous."
Looking at Xu Hanzhou eating haphazardly, Jiang Bei said meaningfully.
Xu Hanzhou laughed when he heard this, but he didn't feel any embarrassment at all. He replied: "It's not easy to meet Mr. Mu Xia, who is famous in the entertainment industry. For a washed-up actor like me, I don't have any thoughts in my heart."
, I’m sure Mr. Jiang won’t believe it either, right?”
"Say your needs." It must be said that Xu Hanzhou's approach made him very fond of him, so he was willing to sit down and listen to the other party's conditions.
Xu Hanzhou wiped his mouth after hearing this, took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, carefully took out one and handed it over.
"I don't smoke."
"Hoo~"
Xu Hanzhou breathed a sigh of relief and threw the empty cigarette box into the trash can nearby. Then he lit the 'complex cigarette' with a lighter in the dark. After taking a deep breath, he said: "I don't know why Mr. Jiang is talking to himself on Weibo."
'Fight', but please don't worry, I will keep this matter secret and will not reveal it."
"Does this mean there are no conditions? Brother, we can leave." After Liangliang finished speaking, she took her brother and was about to leave.
Jiangbei didn't resist and let Liangliang lead him away.
"Hey, hey, sir, please stay!" Xu Hanzhou, who was puffing out smoke, immediately panicked. He stood up and took three steps to catch up, fearing that the brother and sister would leave.
"Just tell me if you have anything." Jiang Bei touched Liang Liang's little head. This girl was quite smart, and she immediately turned the situation from passive to active.
Xu Hanzhou didn't dare to pretend to be serious even after being teased. He hesitated and said, "I want to ask sir for a chance."
Give a chance?
Perhaps he opened his mouth, Xu Hanzhou slowly recounted his past.
Only then did Jiang Bei realize that the old man who looked like he was in his forties turned out to be the former Best Actor of Hundred Flowers. However, he was later banned because he offended a big shot in the entertainment industry, and the contracted agency directly hid him.
As for the eight years without filming, endorsements, or program announcements, his popularity dropped rapidly and he became a washed-up actor.
After the contract finally expired, Xu Hanzhou has been trying to return to the entertainment industry. However, in an era of fierce competition in the entertainment industry, disappearing for eight years as an artist means that everything has to start over.
As a former actor who is already thirty-nine years old and has been "banned" before, no company will be willing to lend a helping hand.
This made Xu Hanzhou a little discouraged. He planned to give up the struggle and go back to his hometown to sell sesame cakes for his birthday. However, he did not expect that he picked up the manuscript of "Evening Summer" in this park. His heart naturally rekindled, hoping to get it.
Late Summer's help.
"Being hidden in the snow for eight years must have been a very painful time, right?" Liang Liang asked sadly while drinking a bottle of soy milk.
"Life is worse than death." Xu Hanzhou said with a bitter smile.
"So are you married and have children?" Liangliang asked, tilting her little head.
"I used to have an underground girlfriend that I had been with for three years, but she broke up with me after being banned." Xu Hanzhou's tone was full of sighs when he mentioned the past relationship.
"I feel like the entertainment industry is so dark. If the actor says he will be banned, why don't you resist?" Liangliang's face was full of doubts.
Obviously, in the gambling king's heart, he cannot understand the existence of such a thing.
Xu Hanzhou pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.
Jiang Bei listened silently, thought for a moment and said, "Your story is very touching, but I don't have the idea of making a movie right now, and I may not be able to help you at the moment."
Since "Wandering Blue" can be used to prove that Jiangbei's ability is no worse than "Midsummer", then there is no need to think of ways to make a movie, and naturally there will be no need for actors.
What's more, he doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry at all. All previous film and television program scripts were created to drag young people out of the entertainment industry, so if he doesn't have to write scripts, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the entertainment industry.
.
Xu Hanzhou's vicissitudes of life showed a bit of disappointment when he heard this, but after all, he was a man who had gone through ups and downs. He adjusted himself in an instant, and said with a forced smile: "It doesn't matter, for me, being able to see Mr. Mu Xia today is already enough."
I'm very happy, but Hanzhou is too persistent."
He said it didn't matter, but the disappointed expressions were clearly captured by him and Liangliang.
"But we can leave our contact information so that we can collaborate if there is an opportunity in the future."
As a super boss for two generations, Jiang Bei naturally could not be stupid enough to believe that the other party would keep it secret if he said it was a secret. The purpose of leaving the phone number was to give Xu Hanzhou some hope that he could keep this secret.
At least this secret must be kept until the movie "The Blue Fortress" is released and hits the streets, so that he can feel completely at ease.
If the secret hadn't been revealed by the time Youyou quit the entertainment industry, he wouldn't mind using the two remaining manuscripts in his study to win over Xu Hanzhou.
It's a reward for keeping the secret.
Of course, it is also possible that it will be exposed midway, but if there is no one and no physical evidence like this, it is still very simple to get rid of the blame.
What's more, 'Fake Late Summer' will appear soon, so there is no need to worry at all.
It's just that this kind of thing, fate, is truly wonderful.
…
Arcadia community, ninth floor of nine buildings.
"Beibei, I'm back, and I brought back a beautiful woman! Why don't you come out and get to know her?"
"Look, you know how to tease me."
"Hehe, come in quickly, this is my home, how about it? Isn't the decoration style very warm? I designed it myself." Li Youqing changed her shoes and walked in with a tall beauty with big waves, her tone full of joy.
intimate.
The wavy beauty looked at the living room with curiosity and praised: "It's very good. As expected of someone who studied painting, her aesthetics is amazing."
"No, please sit down first, and I'll get you a glass of water." Li Youqing warmly greeted the wavy beauty to sit down, then took out a disposable cup, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
"Where is your husband?" The wavy beauty was obviously very interested in Jiangbei and asked while holding a glass of water.
"Yes! Logically speaking, this should be done at home." Li Youqing also looked puzzled. He walked to Jiangbei's room, knocked on the door, and asked, "Beibei, are you in the room?"
This scene was captured by the wavy beauty, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Strange, where did the person go?"
Seeing no one responded in the room, Li Youqing walked towards the study again.
"Are you going out?" The wavy beauty stood up and followed her in with a water glass. Then she was a little surprised: "Did your husband write these words? The writing is great."
"It's not bad. He likes to write and write, so sometimes I tease him that he should live in ancient times. That must be the material for the number one scholar. Anyu, please take a look first. I'll call him and ask someone.
