Tang Yan didn't invite many people to her wedding. In addition to relatives on both sides, there were some friends in the industry. Compared to Huang Xiaoming, who invited half of the entertainment industry to get married, she had very few people.
After saying hello and congratulations to the groom, Fang Jing walked towards the guest area. He didn't recognize most of the people present and was worried about where to go when Hu Ge stood up and waved.
"Lao Hu, did you put down your work on the crew and quietly skip work?"
Hu Ge is the best man in the world, and we cannot live without him there. Fang Jing thought that he would not be able to come to this wedding.
Tang Yan's wedding was not held in China, so going back and forth was a waste of time. People who are not particularly free will generally not be able to come, which is why the venue was deserted.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm asking for leave. You won't be filming my scenes for the next two days."
After Hu Ge finished speaking, Fang Jing sat down and glared: "What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who is a little unreasonable? I come here as soon as I come, and there is nothing wrong with anyone."
"Yes, yes, you are the boss, and everything you said is right. Tang Yan was going to get married last month. It's just that your scenes couldn't be finished, so she changed the time temporarily."
"It's a crime, it's a crime!" Seeing Tang Yan coming over, Fang Jing clasped his fists and apologized, "You didn't say anything at all. Even if the entire team stops working on such a big matter, we have to deal with you."
Just because of a few scenes, Tang Yan postponed the originally planned wedding date. Fang Jing was really upset. Although the drama was huge, no matter how big it was, it couldn't delay someone's marriage.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. It's not all because of the drama. We were not prepared for many things, so we changed the time."
"Anyway, the filming of the crew did affect you. I drank this drink as an apology and to congratulate you on behalf of the whole crew."
"It really doesn't matter." Tang Yan couldn't laugh or cry. She was originally scheduled for October 28th, and she didn't refuse for long. "But thank you for coming. I'll thank you when I get to the set later."
It's not easy to travel all the way from China to Vienna. A busy person like Fang Jing doesn't have much time.
She actually invited a lot of friends to this wedding, but not many were able to attend. They were either busy with work or couldn't make it due to schedule. Most of them sent congratulations on Weibo.
"The best man and bridesmaids are here. Those who want to drink together, hurry up!"
Someone called out. At the door, eight people came in, four men and four women. Fang Jing recognized that two of the bridesmaids were artists under Tang Yan's banner. One of them seemed to be named Chen Yuqi, who had recommended them to him before.
The other two bridesmaids are classmates of the Chinese Opera, and they have a good relationship. The most famous among the groomsmen is probably Ming Dao, and he is here too.
The lineup of groomsmen and bridesmaids is not at all suitable for Tang Yan, a first-line actress, and there are not any "best friends" that she can talk to on Weibo.
"Hey, don't join in the fun." Seeing Fang Jing get up, Tang Yan stopped him, "I know your drinking capacity. In the past, you just caused trouble. You can drink some other time. Not today."
There was a wedding ceremony in the evening, and Fang Jing got everyone drunk as soon as they got in, so she didn't even have to get married.
"Lao Hu, help me guard Fang Jing. I will hand him over to you today."
"Okay, I promise to complete the task, Fang Jing, we both did this pound of nothing today, and we are not allowed to leave until we finish it."
Putting the wine aside, Fang Jing was speechless, "I just wanted to go over and say hello, I didn't want to bully anyone, we have things to talk about tomorrow."
"We talk about tomorrow's affairs every day, and I will definitely let you in today." Hu Ge poured a full glass as he said that.
"Don't make trouble. You might be in trouble later. What should I do if I'm drunk?"
"I can't get drunk, I know for sure."
The persuasion was ineffective, so Fang Jing could only accompany him to drink. He himself didn't care, as he had never met a rival at the drinking table.
After exchanging cups, three or four cups were consumed in a few minutes. Hu Ge put down the cup to take a breath and said casually: "Fang Jing, what do you think of climbers?"
"After what Wu Jing said last time, I felt that you were a little evasive, which made me feel scared. I trust your vision. Is it because the movie is not good?"
Taking a sip of the wine, Fang Jing said, "Why, are you interested in this drama?"
"Well! I originally wanted to transition into the film industry, but your Xuezhong gave me this opportunity. Wu Jing's team of climbers is also strong, and the team is not bad at all. I want to give it a try."
"But seeing that you don't want to touch it, I feel a little unsure. I worry about gains and losses every day, and I feel uneasy."
Big-budget movies are not something you can just expect to meet. It is rare to meet them. To meet Fang Jing and Wu Jing at the same time, it is really impossible for Hu Ge not to be tempted.
Zhang Ziyi joined the Climbers, and Wu Jing also became an actor himself. He read the script, and it was based on patriotic sentiments. There was a market for it, so logically speaking, he would not pounce on it.
But Fang Jing's refusal made him unsure. In terms of vision, Fang Jing had never missed anything.
Fang Jing sighed, what he was afraid of was that big names would join in. In his previous life, the script of this drama had been revised eighteen times and it was suddenly changed into a romance film. The reason was Zhang Ziyi.
When one person moves his lines, his opponent also has to move accordingly, which has a huge impact, not to mention adding scenes and changing scenes, which is almost like having to start over again.
"The reason why I don't want to touch this drama is because of the commercial relationship. It has nothing to do with the issues you care about. If you want to film it, then film it. It will still be good for you."
With a box office of one billion and cooperation with major directors, this resume is already considered very good for Hu Ge.
Hu Ge narrowed his eyes and tried to ask: "You mean the box office will not be high, or even a loss?"
"Well, according to my estimation, the maximum cost of this drama is 1.5 billion, which is to protect capital and make no money, so I don't plan to invest in it. It will be a waste of time."
It often takes a year and a half to make a movie. Knowing that it won't make any money, Fang Jing had to invest the money, so it would be more cost-effective to just put it in the bank and earn interest.
"Damn! It scares me to death. Do you think more than one billion is a loss? Sure enough, poverty limits my imagination."
"We ordinary young actors don't have high requirements. As long as we can guarantee a box office of more than 800 million, I will accept it."
How many movies can appear on the market in a year? Hundreds of movies. There will definitely be no more than 20 movies that can sell more than 500 million yuan, and no more than 10 movies that can sell more than 1 billion yuan.
If The Climber really had a box office of more than one billion, then he would have to star in it to beat him to death. One time it would be more than one billion, and after a few times it would only be tens of billions.
After Hu Ge finished speaking, Fang Jing smiled and said, "Take it, anyway, it is Wu Jing and the investors who are losing money. You will get a lot of money for every penny of the film, and you will also receive fame for the release."
"The bride and groom are invited to come on stage. Let's play some interactive games..."
On the stage, Tang Yan was dressed in red and was wearing an improved Xiuhe suit. He was dignified and beautiful. The groom, Luo Jing, was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket and was handsome.
The two interacted on the stage, and the best man and bridesmaid also joined in to cheer. After a while, Hu Ge was called up to sing, and he sang an English song, which almost stumped him.
Fang Jing was also called up and sang three songs in a row before letting go.
The wedding lasted until the afternoon, and everyone took photos together.
Seeing how tired Tang Yan was, Fang Jing didn't stay much longer and almost left. The young couple had been busy all day long. If he continued to stay, they would have to entertain him.
The next day, after saying hello to Tang Yan, Fang Jing left. Instead of returning to the Magic City, he went to visit Laomei.
He had to meet the legendary Victoria’s Secret killer, Xiao Lizi, who had been killing people until they closed for more than 20 years.
