Chapter 275: Chinese Box Office Champion

In the room, Hearing Gong Li looked at Chen Baoguo on the chair with an unbelievable expression. In the previous scene, she accidentally learned from a word of Huang Huang Xiao Ming what her husband was really doing: "The smell of those Shina pigs burning is really unpleasant, right?"

Chen Baoguo frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and then spread his hands to explain to Hearing Gong Li: "I am a soldier, soldiers must keep secrets!"

Hearing Gong Li walked forward unconsciously, her emotions became more agitated: "How can you do this? How can you do this kind of thing?!"

Chen Baoguo's voice also became louder, and his attitude was still strong to defend himself: "Soldiers must obey orders, the soldier's duty is to fight!"

"That's not war!"

"This is part of the war! A key part! It can make the country stronger!"

Both of their emotions were constantly radical and escalating in the quarrel.

Hearing Gong Li couldn't help shouting: "It's not our country! We are Chinese, not Manchukuo..."

Chen Baoguo stepped forward and pinched Hearing Gong Li's chin, not letting her continue to make a sound, his expression was ferocious, his neck was thick and red, and he pressed his voice: "Are you crazy?! How dare he say this? Looking for death?!"

Hearing Gong Li pushed away Chen Baoguo's hand and cried: "You are crazy! They are people, they are compatriots, not pigs!"

Subsequently, Wu Yuchen asked: "Do you need to rest for a while?"

Huang Huang Xiao Ming's expression was slightly startled, and he said somewhat unnaturally: "Commander-in-Chief, my father is not as excellent as you said."

"Pass!"

Looking at his son leaving, Chen Baoguo looked up at the sky, then combed his hair, and took a deep puff of cigarette, pacing back and forth. At this time, he was very angry in his heart, and then looked at Hearing Gong Li, his eyes fiercely asked: "Who told you?"

Some actors are not easy to walk out after falling into emotions, and some can't even shoot other plays on the same day. However, Hearing Gong Li wiped her tears, shook her head, and said to Wu Yuchen: "Wu Dao, continue."

After the actors at the dining table were all seated and in their places.

"Wanyong..." Chen Baoguo saw this and wanted to come up to hug and comfort his wife.

At this time, the door was half-pushed open, and the boy Fang Xi said softly: "Grandpa is here..."

"Action!"

But as soon as he approached, he was pushed away by Hearing Gong Li: "Don't touch me! Don't, touch, me!"

After speaking, Hearing Gong Li covered her mouth and began to howl loudly. The whole person was already in a state of collapse. She believes in Buddhism, but her husband is doing the work of a devil.

Only heard Chen Baoguo open his mouth: "Takeda, to be able to cultivate such an excellent talent as you, your father must be very excellent, right?"

"Oh? I heard that your father is very brave. When fighting the Russian army, the whole company fought to the end, and only he survived. Can you tell us his story?"

Wu Yuchen nodded, which also made him quite satisfied, after all, the scenes for the next scene had already been arranged. After a while, everyone went downstairs to the restaurant and took their seats, and began to shoot the next scene of the gathering.

The lens was aimed at Huang Huang Xiao Ming, who was wearing a military uniform and sitting straight, following the previous scene, while Chen Baoguo looked at him with unkind eyes. It was clear that he was very unhappy with this little devil who revealed to his wife what he was doing!

At this time, the lens was aimed at Huang Huang Xiao Ming's face. His face was already not good-looking. The piece of beef in his mouth was also chewed very hard, and his eyes were staring at the air in front of him with anger. After he swallowed this bite of meat, he said:

"He is a deserter, he is the shame of our whole family!"

Chen Baoguo looked at his son and raised his hand: "Wait to go down."

But Chen Baoguo stared at him, with an aura of a superior on his body, and emphasized his tone: "Lieutenant Takeda, can you tell us about your brave father? Our whole family is very interested!"

They also adopted the sequential shooting method this time, that is, the actors' emotions can be more smooth, especially which is more conducive to the performance of the two little actors.

Huang Huang Xiao Ming and Chen Baoguo looked at each other, then took back their eyes, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly. Obviously, he didn't want to answer this question.

First, the grandfather who came to visit chatted about some housework at the dining table, and then the topic came to Huang Huang Xiao Ming.

After speaking, Huang Huang Xiao Ming picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Saying this in public undoubtedly made him very embarrassed, and he was also ridiculed by many colleagues around him because of this.

However, Chen Baoguo did not let him go, and continued to sprinkle salt on his wound: "I heard that Japan respects the Bushido spirit very much. It seems that the Takeda family's loyalty to the Emperor has to be questioned?"

Huang Huang Xiao Ming's fist on his leg tightened, the blue veins on it rose, his whole person clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulged, and he breathed slightly: "I would rather he commit seppuku on the battlefield! Our Takeda family's loyalty to the Emperor will not be worse than anyone else!"

Chen Baoguo sneered: "What's the use of saying it well? Mouth skills are not as real as actions~ Pour the wine!"

At this time, the old servant, holding the wine bottle, walked over tremblingly. Those who observed carefully could see that he was already sick, and his wine pouring action was very slow, which made Chen Baoguo glare at him.

However, Chen Baoguo took back his gaze and continued to squeeze Huang Huang Xiao Ming: "I retired from the front line fighting. I used the killing, blood, and life of the battlefield to prove my loyalty to the Emperor! And some people only know how to shrink in the rear, I don't know if they are born cowards, and they can't even do their own job well!"

Huang Huang Xiao Ming was extremely embarrassed at this moment, his face was already red, and the blue veins on his forehead were bulging. He knew that Chen Baoguo was deliberately looking for trouble and revealing his biggest scar. But this is his superior, he can only endure it.

In many anti-Japanese film and television dramas, puppet troops are like dogs licking Japanese soldiers, but Chen Baoguo, who is in a high position and has strength, is valued by the upper levels of Japan. Huang Huang Xiao Ming, this lieutenant, dare not attack.

"Lieutenant Takeda, courage is a quality that a soldier must possess. If you really don't have it, then I suggest you go back to your hometown early. I am not unreasonable, I can help you apply for sick leave..."

Just at this time, the old servant accidentally knocked over his wine glass when pouring wine for Huang Huang Xiao Ming, and the wine spilled on the table and his officer uniform.

This time, Huang Huang Xiao Ming, who was already filled with anger, exploded directly, bounced up from the chair, and shouted in Japanese: "Baka! Stupid Shina pig!"

Then he pinched the old servant's neck. The old servant's face was extremely terrified, but Huang Huang Xiao Ming didn't care. He just needed a vent bucket now. He hugged the old servant with his arms and dragged him out...

Listening to the beating and screaming coming from outside the door, the little boy Fang Xi also showed fear. And Hearing Gong Li looked outside the door with an anxious face, and then looked at her husband. Finally, she couldn't help but ask: "Weiguo..."

Fang Xi also hurriedly looked at his father with hopeful eyes, but Chen Baoguo just clamped the food calmly, raised his head and looked at Hearing Gong Li, with no reaction, his expression calm and frightening.

"Pass!"

In the whole play, because the background was changed, Wu Yuchen had to make many changes to the details of the movie to make it smooth. The original version can only be used as a reference. He must be based on the actual effect presented. Fortunately, he was satisfied.

The shooting of *The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas* has been on the right track, and it has been smoother and smoother. Wu Yuchen is immersed in the shooting of the movie wholeheartedly, but the outside world is messy.

The entertainment industry in 2002 can be said to be a disaster year for stars. Those who died, those who were injured, and those who were caught.

In addition to Liu Xiaoqing and Nicholas Tse, those who were caught in prison included Su Yongkang who was caught for taking drugs; the sweet song queen Yang Yuying hid because she was involved in a major event and did not dare to show her face; the male protagonist of the popular *Holding Hands*, Wu Ruopu, was beaten and hospitalized while eating at a hotel...

However, these ultimately did not have the shock of death. First, the porn star Chen Baolian jumped off the building and committed suicide, and then the godfather of the Hong Kong music scene who sang *Iron Blood and Dan Heart*, Luo Wen, despite being actively optimistic about fighting cancer, only 32 kilograms left and dared to appear publicly to express his determination to fight cancer, but finally fell at the age of 52, causing collective mourning among Hong Kong stars and citizens.

And in the mainland, Gao Feng, who sang *Great China*, although his fame and status were far from Luo Wen, died too abruptly. At first, it was only said that he had a cold, but as a result, he was gone in just one week, which made everyone not react, and then it was rumored that Gao Feng died so fast because he had AIDS.

In this day and age, AIDS is still very rare for people. A star died because of AIDS is very eye-catching, attracting a lot of attention. And the reason why this news heat further escalated is because Gao Feng is Zhang Ziyi's ex-boyfriend. This made reporters run to interview Zhang Ziyi, and rumors that Zhang Ziyi also had AIDS spread directly on the Internet.

At this time, the *Hero* crew had already started large-scale publicity, but reporters all came to ask if Zhang Ziyi had AIDS, which made the publicity department very passive.

"What kind of mess are you making!" At this time, Zhang Weiping scolded Zhang Ziyi.

Although Zhang Weiping loves to make things to attract traffic, this kind of rumor that crew actors have AIDS is absolutely more harmful than good for *Hero*, which also made him very angry.

Zhang Ziyi was even more aggrieved: "What does this have to do with me? I haven't contacted him for a long time!"

She and Gao Feng were in love a few years ago, and they broke up after she acted in *The Road Home*. Who knew that such a thing happened now?

When the news reached her ears, she was scared to death. She knew that many singers in the music scene played very flowers. Is this Gao Feng really AIDS? Then did she have it when she was with him?

This scared Zhang Ziyi to run to the Center for Disease Control to do an examination, waiting for the results in torment, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the negative display, and let go of her heart.

"And I called and asked friends, Gao Feng is not AIDS at all, it is a rare viral pneumonia, all these reporters are spreading rumors!" Zhang Ziyi explained to Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping waved his hand unhappily: "I don't care about this, you hurry up and contact Gao Feng's family, let them come forward to clarify, this is good for you and the crew!"

For this innocent disaster, Zhang Ziyi also felt very aggrieved, and decided in her heart that she would never find a singer as a boyfriend again!

Subsequently, Zhang Ziyi denied to reporters that she had been in love with Gao Feng, while privately entrusting people to urge Gao Feng's family and friends.

However, soon, Zhang Ziyi didn't have to worry, a piece of news took away everyone's attention:

"*Brotherhood of Blades* tops the Chinese film box office champion throne!"

"*Brotherhood of Blades* 361 million, breaking the *Titanic* box office record!"

"*Brotherhood of Blades* sets a Chinese-language film record, Wu Yuchen is the number one Chinese director!"

"*Brotherhood of Blades* opens the road to Chinese-language commercial blockbusters!"

Everyone knows how powerful *Titanic* is, the undisputed number one in global box office, leading other films by a huge advantage, and occupying the number one box office position in many countries and regions around the world.

And now, Wu Yuchen brought *Brotherhood of Blades* to break the box office record of *Titanic* and snatched back the throne of Chinese box office champion, which is undoubtedly a very heart-lifting thing for Chinese films.

And the ordinary people clapped their hands after reading the newspaper, and a few people gathered around the newspaper kiosk and talked: "What is it that our Chinese box office record has been occupied by foreign films? It has to be Wu Yuchen!"

"Deserving of being a director who won an Oscar!"

"That's not it? The movies Wu Yuchen shot, even the foreigners in America love to watch them. Others can't compare to *Titanic*, he is different!"

"Our girl loves his movies very much. The *My Sassy Girl* two years ago, she bought the disc and watched it at least dozens of times."

"I want to say that other directors have to learn from him. You said that Zhang Yimou and other fifth-generation directors, the movies they shot are boring. I rented the disc and watched it and felt boring. Wu Yuchen's movies are still good!"

"What you said is an art film. Zhang Yimou and their generation love this. Wu Dao said, he doesn't care about art films or commercial films, he only shoots what everyone likes to watch."

"Well said, this is a good director! According to the words of thirty years ago, art must also serve our ordinary people!"

"Look at his consciousness, no wonder he is our number one Chinese director!"

The Internet is also full of discussions and cheers.

"Still Wu Dao is awesome! This is *Titanic*!"

"Wu Yuchen is mighty, defending the dignity of Chinese-language cinema!"

"Hehe, our Chinese record, it still has to be guarded by Wu Dao!"

"I see who dares to say *Brotherhood of Blades* is not good? Who dares to question Wu Yuchen?"

In the *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* crew.

"Broke the 360 million record, our box office champion was snatched back, *Brotherhood of Blades* is really powerful!"

"That is, you don't look at whose movie this is? That is Wu Dao's!"

"Hey, I heard that Brother Jun went to audition for Wu Dao's new play and wasn't selected?"

"Keep your voice down, don't mention this in front of Brother Jun."

"Not only Brother Jun, but also the little girl who played Wang Yuyan went, and was brushed down."

"I heard this girl has a background?"

"What's the use of having a background in front of Wu Dao? Still have to look at hard skills!"

Liu Yifei, who passed by, heard some idle talk in the crew and pouted. However, her mother had already explained to her that she didn't need to pay attention to such idle talk.

Subsequently, Liu Yifei thought of her good friend Shu Chang who was successfully selected, and envy surged in her heart. Wu Yuchen's Oscar-campaigning movie! ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
