Chapter 159: Actually, I wasn't bald before!

After the phone was connected, Wu Yuchen asked with a smile:

"Hello, Factory Manager Han, how is the box office of our movie?"

"Very good, the accurate box office data for last weekend came out, 28.12 million in 3 days. Last Friday, our statistics should have broken 50 million. According to this speed, it will be steadily over 60 million after this weekend. The accurate box office data will only be known in a few days." It can be heard that Han Sanping is in a very good mood.

Wu Yuchen calculated that 60 million in 10 days, according to the word-of-mouth of his movie, breaking 100 million is not a big problem. However, it is estimated that pirated versions may have started to appear at this time, and the speed of breaking 100 million will be greatly delayed.

Subsequently, he said to Han Sanping: "Factory Manager Han, I went to Modu for promotion, and General Zhu Zong of Shanghai Film invited me to dinner yesterday."

Han Sanping's heart moved after hearing this, and he already understood roughly what happened, and then asked Wu Yuchen with a smile: "Did Old Zhu want to find you to film a movie?"

"Well, almost that meaning, it should be wanting to invest in my next movie."

"What is your idea, Brother Wu?"

"Hehe, I said I have to consider it carefully, and I haven't replied to him yet." Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

Han Sanping's brain turned, and he understood Wu Yuchen's general meaning. Wu Yuchen didn't agree, but called him first. This shows that he is close to him, probably wanting to hear his opinion. But since he didn't directly refuse Old Zhu, it means he was moved, but it was just because of him and Beiying Factory, so he didn't agree directly.

Han Sanping smiled. If this were last year, he might still need to break wrists with Old Zhu and break it well. But in less than half a year, he will go to the new Zhongying to take office, which is in charge of the entire Huaxia film, so his mind should naturally be more open.

Han Sanping smiled and said: "Brother Wu, Shanghai Film's distribution and promotion power in the Yangtze River Delta region is good. It is a good thing that you let them participate!"

Wu Yuchen also showed a smile after hearing this. Han Sanping didn't mind him taking Shanghai Film to play together, so he said: "Then I will listen to Brother Han's suggestion and give Shanghai Film some investment shares."

Han Sanping asked with a smile: "Didn't you just finish filming 'Mr. Donkey'? Do you have any new ideas?"

"It's not a new idea. I already agreed with Wang Zuxian before to cooperate with her again. The script I had before is just suitable for filming in Modu." Wu Yuchen replied with a smile.

"Heh! You and Wang Zuxian, you make me want to regret it. Or you should stop worrying about Old Zhu and Shanghai Film!"

"Haha, Brother Han, don't worry, with our relationship, Beiying Factory will definitely not be missing~" Wu Yuchen heard that Han Sanping was joking, so he also replied with a smile.

"Hey, this time Old Zhu and the others really took advantage. When you film in Modu, don't be polite, just use them."

Here Wu Yuchen and Han Sanping chatted for a while, and then hung up the phone.

He was not in a hurry either. First, he took Jiang Qinqin to run enough promotion for three days, and then played in Modu for two days. To be honest, Modu is really a consumption-oriented city. There are really not many scenic spots to talk about. Historical sites are not comparable to Jingcheng, but the whole city construction is much better than Jingcheng, with the style of an international metropolis. The climate is also much better than Jingcheng. The dryness and annual sandstorms in Jingcheng are indeed a bit suffering.

Finally, Wu Yuchen went to Shanghai Film to visit Zhu Yongde again, which made Old Zhu very happy. He was taken by Old Zhu to visit their Shanghai Film Studio again. Returning to the office, Wu Yuchen picked up the brewed tea and took a sip, and said to Old Zhu with a smile:

"General Zhu Zong, I have gained some inspiration from visiting Modu these past few days, and I want to film a movie in Modu. I don't know if Shanghai Film is willing to provide me with some help."

Zhu Yongde was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately understood that the previous words worked. Wu Yuchen is going to cooperate with their Shanghai Film!

"Willing, willing, Wu Dao, don't worry, equipment, actors, locations, as long as you request, our Shanghai Film will prepare them all for you!"

Wu Yuchen was warmly shaken hands by Zhu Yongde: "General Zhu Zong, let me finish first, the female lead has already been decided, it is Wang Zuxian..."

Zhu Yongde was even more happy after hearing this: "Wang Zuxian is good! We Modu people all like the big star Wang Zuxian!"

Last year, "My Brothers and Sisters," which Wu Yuchen and Wang Zuxian collaborated on, won the box office championship. This time, they were happy that their Shanghai Film Studio could participate in the collaboration again.

Wu Yuchen continued:

"I can give Shanghai Film 25% of the investment shares, and the distribution in the Yangtze River Delta region will trouble you, General Zhu Zong."

"Distribution is naturally no problem, leave it to Shanghai Film, but can this investment share be given more to us?" Old Zhu immediately pursued and asked.

Wu Yuchen shook his head with a light smile: "General Zhu Zong, 25% is already a lot. I have to give Beiying Factory 25%, and our Qiji Film and Television only has 50% left."

Old Zhu heard this and immediately said: "Wu Dao, our Shanghai Film will solve all problems for you throughout the process, ensuring the best service for you. Can you give us some of Beiying Factory's shares?"

Wu Yuchen just shook his head and didn't speak, picked up the tea and drank it again.

Old Zhu saw Wu Yuchen's firm attitude and knew that this was already decided, and there would be no room for bargaining. Thinking about it, he didn't say much about this aspect. At least this is a good start, and Shanghai Film can get 25%, which is not less than Beiying Factory. Now that he has connected with Wu Yuchen, there will be no shortage of opportunities in the future. He has confidence in their Shanghai Film!

"Okay, Wu Dao, this share is no problem for Shanghai Film. Besides the female lead, do you want to look for other actors in our Shanghai Film Studio? We have many excellent actors here!"

Unable to fight for more investment shares, Old Zhu began to fight for opportunities for the actors of Shanghai Film Studio. Being able to participate in the project of Wu Yuchen and Wang Zuxian's cooperation is undoubtedly something many people want to break their heads for.

"General Zhu Zong, don't say, I have discovered an actor suitable for the male lead in Modu these past few days."

"Oh? Is it from our Shanghai Film Studio? Wu Dao, just say it, I will help you call him over immediately!"

Wu Yuchen shook his head: "It seems to be from the Modu Dramatic Arts Center."

Old Zhu was slightly disappointed when he heard it was not from their Shanghai Film Studio, but he didn't show it on his face, and guaranteed by patting his chest: "Wu Dao, no problem, as long as it is an actor in our Modu area, I can help you get it done!"

The Modu Dramatic Arts Center was merged from the two famous drama performance groups, the Modu People's Art Theater and the Modu Youth Drama Troupe. Its strength in the domestic drama industry is also in the top three. The actors who can come in every year naturally have strength.

At this time, Old Zhu accompanied Wu Yuchen to the director's office of the center. The two chatted one sentence after another. After waiting for a while, a young man with a thin figure came in.

At this time, the director of the Art Center took the initiative to say to Old Zhu and Wu Yuchen with a smile: "The person you are looking for is here!"

Old Zhu looked at the young man and couldn't help but frown subconsciously, and then asked Wu Yuchen in a low voice: "Wu Dao, are you sure it's him?"

He didn't have any opinion on this young man, but when he saw his shiny bald head, he felt that Wu Yuchen wouldn't have remembered the wrong person, right?

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: "That's right, it's him."

The director waved his hand: "Come, Xu Zheng, come over. This is General Zhu Zong of Shanghai Film, and this is Wu Dao Yuchen, who came specifically to find you!"

Xu Zheng didn't know why, but when he heard this, his heart jumped, and he immediately walked quickly to the few people, greeting with a full face of smiles and respect: "Hello General Zhu Zong! Hello Wu Dao!"

Shanghai Film's General Zhu Zong is a big man, and Wu Yuchen is a popular great director in the country. Being able to come specifically to find a small transparent like him, although he didn't know what it was, Xu Zheng realized that it must be a good thing. His adrenaline kept surging, and his whole body wanted to tremble.

The 26-year-old Xu Zheng doesn't see the middle-aged greasy look of 20 years later at all. Instead, he has a literary and fresh style. Even if his head is bald, his thin face is quite good-looking.

Wu Yuchen looked at Xu Zheng, who is already a symbol of the strong, and smiled. He didn't expect that he would be bald at this time. Then he asked: "Xu Zheng, how long have you been bald? Can it grow back?"

Hearing this, Xu Zheng was a bit nervous, fearing that he would miss the opportunity because of his bald head, but he didn't dare to lie, so he could only answer honestly:

"Wu Dao, I started to have large-scale hair loss in my sophomore year. I tried many methods but it didn't work. I looked at the sparse hair and it was really ugly, so I simply shaved a bald head. Even if it grows back, I guess there won't be much...

But Wu Dao, actually I wasn't bald before, my hair was very good, and I was a hair model!"

Xu Zheng tried his best to defend himself.

Wu Yuchen asked: "Do you have photos from before you lost your hair?"

Xu Zheng smiled awkwardly: "Wu Dao, I didn't bring it with me, but I can go home and get it immediately, from 1 to 20 years old, all complete!"

Wu Yuchen waved his hand after hearing this, and then said: "In this way, go find a wig and wear it first."

Xu Zheng immediately nodded and said yes, and hurriedly ran to the makeup room to pick a wig he thought was most suitable and put it on before rushing back.

After Xu Zheng came back, Wu Yuchen took a look and asked Old Zhu beside him: "General Zhu Zong, how does it look now?"

Old Zhu nodded: "It looks much more pleasing with hair."

Then Wu Yuchen said to Xu Zheng: "Smile."

Xu Zheng immediately showed a bright smile.

"Be a bit silly."

Xu Zheng hurriedly adjusted, bringing a bit of silliness.

"Silly smile."

Xu Zheng changed into a silly smile in the next moment.

"Sighing, looking aggrieved."

Wu Yuchen made requests one by one, and Xu Zheng was also very quick to adapt. He was quite diligent when he was in school. After graduating and entering the Art Center for four or five years, he had already become a stage play lead. The "Stock Color" he performed was well-received and had already been declared to compete for the Magnolia Drama Award for Best Actor, which shows his strength.

Xu Zheng knew that he had met a noble person this time. Now is the moment to change his destiny, so he also took out 200% of his state.

After a while, Wu Yuchen nodded: "Stand straight."

Xu Zheng immediately stood straight after hearing this.

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he also stood up from the chair, opened his steps and walked around Xu Zheng, looking at him from head to toe.

After looking for a few laps, he said: "The height is about the same, but your figure is a bit thin..."

Xu Zheng immediately said after hearing this: "Wu Dao, I can gain weight! How much do you want me to gain? Is 30 jin enough?"

Wu Yuchen looked at Xu Zheng, who was striving for progress at this time, and couldn't help but smile:

"30 jin is not needed, gaining 10-15 jin should be enough. It is mainly to make people feel honest, simple, and reliable when they see you, and also have some sense of comedy, but don't really become a fat man. You can grasp the specifics yourself. Give you half a month, and I will come to see you then. If I am satisfied, I will set you as the male lead of the movie."

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he handed the script in his hand to Xu Zheng.

Hearing the three words "male lead," Xu Zheng was overjoyed. Even just now, hearing Wu Yuchen ask him to gain weight, he thought it was just a supporting role. But he didn't expect it to be the male lead!

If someone told him an hour ago that he would have the opportunity to be the male lead of Wu Yuchen's movie, he would definitely think this guy was here to tease him, and then angrily spray him with "Your brain is broken!"

But now, such a dreamy thing actually happened, making Xu Zheng excited, unable to help clenching his fists, wanting to shout out!

"Thank you Wu Dao! Thank you Wu Dao for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely not let you down!"

Xu Zheng bowed to Wu Yuchen repeatedly, and at the same time made up his mind to go home and start the fattening plan immediately. Sugar, milk, eggs, big fish and meat, he wants them all!

After Old Zhu and Wu Yuchen left the Art Center, they couldn't help but ask:

"Wu Dao, don't you want to pick a few other actors? Maybe there are more suitable ones, and if this Xu Zheng doesn't meet your requirements, it will be delayed if you find someone again."

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: "General Zhu Zong, don't worry, I still have some confidence in my vision."

Not to mention anything else about Baldy Xu, his acting skills are definitely up to par, and he is definitely a good comedy player. For example, the "Bright Spring Pig Bajie" he acted in would be likable, while the "Lucky Star Shines on Pig Bajie" acted by Huang Haibo later was simply mentally retarded...

And he also played honest roles in "Love Through Time," which were all his early works, and they were all portrayed very well.

Old Zhu saw that Wu Yuchen said so, so he didn't say much.

"General Zhu Zong, I still have to run a few places for promotion next, so I will trouble you with the location scouting here!"

"Haha, Wu Dao, don't worry, we will definitely handle this for you!"

With Old Zhu and Shanghai Film Studio, Wu Yuchen took Jiang Qinqin and left the Magic City with peace of mind. Over the next half month, he ran through Jinling, Yangcheng, Shencheng, and Rongcheng to promote it, and the box office of "Classic Again" naturally climbed steadily.

It broke 60 million in 10 days and 90 million in 19 days. On the 24th day of its release, the entertainment headlines of major newspapers were all one piece of news: "'Classic Again' box office breaks 100 million!"

"Hey, 'Titanic' was so powerful a few months ago that it directly made the Chinese film industry dare not make a sound. It still has to be Wu Dao! At this time, he brought out 'Classic Again' and broke 100 million at the box office while carrying the pressure of 'Titanic'!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it really is worthy of being an international great director. How long has it been since we had a movie that broke 100 million in China? I have to say admire!"

"8 years! 'Mom, Love Me Once Again' was also played in the summer of 1990. It's been a full 8 years!"

"'Classic Again' is still more powerful. In 1990, the total national box office was still several billion. How much is it now?" Thinking of the total box office of only about 1.2 billion last year, the man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"The box office this year is estimated to be much higher. Just 'Titanic' alone is over 300 million, and there is also Wu Dao's 'Classic Again.' I don't know if it can reach 2 billion this year."

"It's difficult. Romance movies are popular, but even if they are filmed this year, they have to wait until next year to be released."

Several entertainment reporters were free at this time and met to chat.

Just at this time, one of the men's mobile phones rang. After answering and listening to a few words, his face changed: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

After he hung up, the other few people asked: "Old Liu, what's wrong?"

Old Liu looked at them and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My son caused trouble at school and beat his classmate until his head was broken and bleeding. I have to go over immediately!"

After speaking, he started to stop a taxi on the street. The people behind him couldn't help but smile and say: "Go back and take a belt and whip him hard, then he will be honest!"

Old Liu just left, and another man's mobile phone ringtone also rang. After answering the phone, he also opened his mouth. After hanging up, he immediately said: "My wife fainted at work due to heatstroke, I have to go over immediately!"

After speaking, he stepped on his feet to stop the car on the street. The remaining two felt a little strange. How come something happened to their families one by one?

A few minutes later, the BP machines in the arms of the two also started to ring. After finding a phone to call, one of them scolded "Damn it!", and immediately threw the phone and flew away, ignoring the other colleague at all.

The last one knew that something must have happened, but could only start calling.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief..."

The man was interrupted by the editor-in-chief's voice as soon as he opened his mouth, only to hear a roar:

"Go to Shanghai Film! Shanghai Film suddenly held a press conference, Wu Yuchen and Wang Zuxian are both there, go immediately!"

How could the man not understand what happened at this time? Several animals cursed their own sons and wives just to go first! After spraying a national curse, he also ran away.

And at this time, in a room of Shanghai Film Group, I saw Wang Zuxian in a thin shirt on the upper body, floral striped shorts on the lower body, stepping on a pair of green board shoes, a pair of white long legs very dazzling, hands on hips standing in front of Wu Yuchen. This summer outfit is really full of youthful vitality!

"Roar, Wu Dao, what kind of script tailored for me, am I so 'barbaric' in your eyes?"

Looking at Wang Zuxian's appearance of asking for guilt at this moment, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but spread his hands, looking innocent:

"Where is it? Sister Xian, don't you understand after reading the script? Barbaric is just your camouflage color. You are still a gentle and kind good girl inside. I have shaped you so charmingly, and you still misunderstand me. I am really sad!"

Wang Zuxian looked at Wu Yuchen and suddenly changed into a kind smile:

"I didn't expect Wu Dao, you like this kind of charming girl. Do you want me to be 'barbaric' to you?"

Wang Xianxian said, patting the script in her hand, and saw it written on the cover: "My Sassy Girl."
