Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and March is here in a blink of an eye. During this period, Fang Jing is basically resting. During the New Year, he brought Xu Li over for a New Year's Eve dinner. We all had New Year's Eve dinner together, but after a few days of fun, he left again. Fang Hui missed her very much.
Reluctant to give up.
The monthly bills from the charity foundation are huge, and Fang Jing has so many things to do that sometimes he is too busy. Most of the time, he relies on Xu Li's supervision.
Originally, Fang Jing wanted Xu Li to quit her job at school, focus on taking care of the charity foundation, and take a good rest, as it was too tiring to do two things at once.
But Xu Li refused, saying that the change of teacher would have a great impact on the students in her class who were in the third grade of junior high school. They could still endure it through gritting their teeth, and they would wait until these students were sent away.
Seeing this scene, it was hard to say anything. I just sighed and said nothing!
"Congratulations, I didn't expect your "囧TU" to sell so well?"
In the evening, at a hotel in Shanghai, Wu Jing invited Fang Jing to drink. He had been busy filming Wolf Warrior 2 abroad some time ago and had only returned in the past few days.
"It's just good luck. How was the filming of Wolf Warrior 2?"
"It was completed last week and will be released next month. I'm here to borrow the help of your publicity team."
There were three bottles of Maotai on the table, and Wu Jing poured a full glass for Fang Jing. He had a habit of talking about things at the dinner table, that is, he liked to drink half a catty of wine with a meal. If he can succeed, he will definitely succeed, and if he can't, he can't talk no matter what.
"This little thing is worth your while to come here. Can't you just make a phone call?"
"This is no small matter!" Wu Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. I have a small throat when buying wine. I can't shout, so I have to rely on you!"
Speaking of which, this is not Wu Jing's first time as a director, Wolf Warrior 2 is his third, but his connections in the entertainment industry have never been very good.
In his early years, he was acting in the Mainland, and when he got a little better, he went to Xiangjiang, a place known as the Hollywood of the East.
But he was a foreigner with no connections and no acquaintances. It was very difficult for him to perform successfully. He almost starved to death in the first few years.
Later, he finally became famous in the film industry, but because of one sentence he offended a martial arts school, he was blocked in the door and forced to apologize.
It was very exclusive there, and no one around him could help him, a mainlander, to talk about his feelings. They were all waiting to see the joke.
In the end, it was his teacher from Shichahai who came to the rescue.
From then on, he also came up with the idea of retiring from the Hong Kong film industry, and has not appeared in front of the audience in these years.
Last year, I finally had a hard time filming a movie called Wolf Warriors and encountered such a thing. I felt so wronged.
Before finding Fang Jing this time, he actually looked for several TV stations, but except for his wife's family who was willing to arrange a time for him, they all declined politely.
"Little things!! I'll take care of it and I'll give you a 20% discount." Seeing Wu Jing's confused expression, Fang Jing laughed loudly, "You're kidding, I'm an investor after all, leave the publicity to me.
If it sells well at the box office later, just remember to give me a red envelope."
"Thank you, brother!" Wu Jing's eyes were slightly red and he patted Fang Jing's shoulder.
The cost of publicity is not a small amount, ranging from three to five million to as much as seven or eight million. The key is to have connections.
The promotion of Wolf Warrior 2 actually has nothing to do with Fang Jing, the investor, but he took care of it all with one sentence. Can Wu Jing not be moved by solving this big problem?
"One size equals one size. I can't take advantage of you. It's whatever it is."
Wu Jing insisted on giving money, but in the end Fang Jing had no choice but to agree.
…
At work the next day, Fang Jing held a meeting to arrange the promotion of Wolf Warrior 2. Yang Ning stretched out and sat in his office at the door.
Ten minutes later.
"When did you come?"
"I just came here. I saw you were in a meeting and I didn't disturb you!"
After pouring a glass of water for Yang Ning, Fang Jing walked around behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.
"Why didn't you inform me and I would pick you up at the airport?"
"It's not far, so there's no need to go to such trouble." Yang Ning took out a contract from her bag and looked up at Fang Jing, "This is what you asked me to do. It's already done!"
Looking at the acquisition contract, Fang Jing chuckled, "Leave it where you are, you won't need it now."
"The key point on the left, yes, is this intensity! Don't think that I know what you want to do, why don't you do it step by step and be down-to-earth? It's not too late to keep working steadily for three to five years before trying again."
Looking ahead, Fang Jing said with a smile: "There are only three to five years in life. Don't miss the opportunity. It will come true."
Yang Ning shook her head, "Don't talk about it. It's too busy in Nanjing. There are so many people doing nothing. Shouldn't we film some dramas this year?"
"Shoot, definitely shoot! This year I will shoot from the beginning of the year to the end of the year."
"Aren't you afraid that the script won't pass the test?"
Fang Jing took out a document from the drawer and gave it to Yang Ning, "The instructions above, if Xu Tianjun wants it, he will ban me from going home to feed the pigs tomorrow."
"About encouraging the filming of anti-corruption and anti-corruption dramas..." Yang Ning smiled while reading the document issued by the radio and television, "This is a good opportunity. As long as it works this time, there should be no big problems in other filming in the future. Do you have the script?"
"It's been sent for trial, it's not a big problem!"
"Where are the actors?"
"you guess!"
Yanjing People's Art Theater, China's No. 1 Drama Theater, Wu Gang visited offices everywhere and treated everyone he met.
"Lao Xu, I have a girlfriend... Bah, I'm going to treat you tonight. Let's have a few drinks. Remember to come!"
"Old Zhang, don't be too busy cleaning. I have a show in a few days and I will take you with me. Remember to make time!"
"What kind of show? We agreed that with my temperament, I can only play handsome guys!"
Seeing an old man in his seventies who was missing most of his front teeth and had a wretched look on his face saying this, Wu Gang was speechless, "It's a bit underwhelming for you to act as a handsome guy."
When I walked backstage, I happened to see a man in his thirties putting on makeup. Wu Gang went over and patted his shoulder, "Xiao Hai, I have a scene in a while, please help me make a guest appearance."
"No problem, can you tell me what role you are playing?"
Thinking of Fang Jing's words, Wu Gang laughed and said, "It's not convenient to reveal this, but there are many sex scenes."
"hiss!"
The man took a deep breath, blushed when he saw Wu Gang staring at him, and said shyly: Isn't this inappropriate?"
“I think it’s a good fit!”
That night, Wu Gang invited more than 20 first-level Chinese actors and more than 30 second-level actors to dinner.
On March 8th, Fang Jing drove to a hotel event in Shanghai. There was no red carpet at the door, no reporters, no media, and no crowds watching. It was very deserted.
There was only a fat man with short hair standing straight in a suit.
"We're here, just in time. It's enough for two tables of mahjong. Do you want to play a few rounds in the evening?"
"Sister Han Hong, don't be joking. Last time I was criticized for smoking and I was issued a letter of apology. If I am photographed playing mahjong, the media will not go crazy tomorrow!"
Han Hong didn't look good. Fang Jing turned around and saw several cars parked at the door. He immediately expressed his understanding.
Today was a charity gala organized by Han Hong. It was said that more than ninety celebrities including him were invited, but looking at the appearance, Fang Jing doubted that there were even thirty celebrities.
"Sister, I'll go in first, you're busy!"
"Well! Go ahead!"
Fang Jing entered the venue, shook his head and smiled. There is no signature wall here, nor any major media. Trying to attract Little Bee through favors is not possible.
After being around for so many years, Han Hong is still a little unclear about the world.
The arrangement of the party was a bit like a hotel wedding, very festive. There were sixty or seventy tables under the stage, but at first glance there were only a dozen people, most of whom were hotel employees.
"Eighty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"Nijo!"
"Don't move, touch!"
As far as he could see, there was really a table of people playing mahjong, and there were people watching. Fang Jing walked over and saw that many of them were acquaintances.
