Wang Zhongjun's face turned pale, and his nostrils made a whimpering sound like bellows. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Harvey just called and said that the quality of "Night Banquet" was too poor and he was not optimistic about the prospects of the movie North America. Let us sell it to him for $1 million, otherwise we wouldn't have it!"

"Night Banquet" was sold to Harvey in Cannes for 5 million. The movie was not finished at that time, and Feng Xiaogang and the others brought the trailer. Harvey was only willing to pay a prepayment of US$200,000 on the grounds of returning the product of "The Promise". Huayi had no experience in overseas food films, and did not think too much, and agreed readily. They never dreamed that Harvey would do this.

Wang Zhonglei was furious when he heard this and cursed: "This bastard!" After cursing, he asked unwillingly: "What should we do now?"

Wang Zhongjun punched the table hard: "I can only sell it to this bastard!"

Wang Zhonglei's face turned green: "In this way, we will lose a lot!"

If there are other possibilities, Wang Zhongjun would never agree to Harvey, but the question is, who else can he sell it if he doesn't sell it to? So far, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and even Toronto, the film festivals that should be visited have all gone to, and the films that should be discussed have been discussed, so it is very difficult to find a buyer again. Chinese-language films are difficult to sell, and if they have a reputation for returning products, it will be even more difficult to sell. If they are not sold to Harvey, North American copyright may be smashed into the hands of the hands and the losses will be greater.

Wang Zhongjun had no other choice and gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't sell it to him, we will lose more!"

"Night Banquet" costs US$15 million. With Zhang Ziyi's fame, nearly US$10 million was sold overseas. Excluding the 2 million publicity expenses in various film festivals, the overseas revenue was nearly 8 million. Only US$7 million was needed to recover domestically to make money. So far, "Night Banquet" has sold RMB 15 million on domestic DVDs, plus the film channel's revenue of RMB 5 million and advertising revenue of RMB 15 million, which is a total of 35 million. In other words, as long as "Night Banquet" earns more than 20 million in box office, it can make money.

But now Harvey's $5 million has become 1 million, and Huayi must recover 11 million from China to make a profit. Deleting DVDs, movie channels, and advertising revenue, "Night Banquet" must recover 55 million yuan through box office. In addition to the movie's promotional expenses, the box office will exceed 150 million yuan before it can make a profit.

According to the current box office trend of "Night Banquet", the maximum is 120 million in China, and the final loss will be more than 10 million!

Zhang Ran didn't know what happened to Hua Yi at this time, but this was in his expectation. In his previous life, Feng Xiaogang once criticized Harvey as a liar, and many people didn't understand why. The real reason was that Harvey used this method to cheat the North American copyright of "Night Banquet" from Hua Yi. When Zhang Ran knew that Hua Yi sold "Night Banquet" to Harvey, he knew that the tragedy would happen again and Hua Yi was defeated.

Just when the Wang brothers scolded Harvey as a liar, Zhang Ran continued the filming of "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" at the Nanhu Film and Television Base.

This play tells the story of the building where Wang Luodan and Cao Bingkun lived did not collapse, and someone went back to get things. In the evening, Wang Luodan also wanted to move out his own things, especially to move out the pots and pans to cook, but he had not eaten for a day. Cao Bingkun was afraid that the building would not be safe, so he asked Wang Luodan to stay downstairs and went back to the building to pack things. Shortly after Cao Bingkun went upstairs, the devastating magnitude 7.1 aftershock came!

When Cao Bingkun struggled to jump down from the window, a prefabricated board hit his back. Cao Bingkun floated up like fallen leaves in the wind, and then fell to the ground hard.

The scene that is being filmed is the scene where Wang Luodan hugged him tightly after Cao Bingkun bleeded in his mouth.

In the camera, Wang Luodan hugged Cao Bingkun tightly, and he couldn't help but fall into grief and started crying loudly. Wang Luodan cried very hard, and his tears were all snotted, and his nose rubbed against Cao Bingkun's clothes.

After Zhang Ran called for a stop, Cao Bingkun jumped up, took out a piece of toilet paper from his body, wiped the snot on his body, and said disgustingly: "Dandan, you are so disgusting to me! My clothes are full of your snot!"

Wang Luodan blushed and defended: "I'm really crying, I'm not just eye drops, of course I've had a snot!" Then she glanced at Zhang Ran with some fear, worried that she wouldn't be able to pass this time. So far, this shot has been taken 15 times.

Zhang Ran did not adjust to the replay of the performance just now, and shouted directly: "Dandan, do it again!"

Wang Luodan was really crying, and she cried more and more and more and more and more and more. She was so sad that she lost her husband, but she just couldn't get through it. Wang Luodan couldn't figure out what was going on. She clearly interpreted the grief of the character Li Na very well. What puzzled her even more was that Zhang Ran didn't say anything there was a problem. She just asked once, and the answer she got was, think about it yourself. She was really confused, very depressed and helpless.

Wang Luodan walked out of the performance area and drank half a bottle of mineral water to replenish some water. She had cried for more than ten times, and she was crying dry. If she didn't drink some water, she really couldn't cry.

After the makeup artist put on his makeup, Wang Luodan stood in the performance area again. This time she decided to try a different performance method. However, after the performance began, within two seconds, Zhang Ran stopped again, and then the words made Wang Luodan numb and said, "Do it again." Wang Luodan felt that she was really crazy!

The entire shot was taken for lunch, and 26 shots were taken, but it still never happened. Wang Luodan also tried to interpret it in various ways, such as heartbreaking, crying silently, crying bitterly, etc., but she couldn't pass. When Zhang Ran announced that she had finished work and had finished eating, she cried so hard that she almost burst into tears.

Seeing Wang Luodan sitting on the chair with a dejected look, Ji Chen helped her get a lunch box, walked over and put it in front of her: "Dandan, why have you been acting stupidly? Why don't you ask Teacher Zhang?"

Wang Luodan glanced at him, shook his head slightly and said, "Teacher Zhang asked me to think about it myself. I think there might be something that makes Teacher Zhang unhappy!"

Ji Chen was stunned, then patted the back of her hand and encouraged her: "You just said you can't think of it, and then go and ask again. Teacher Zhang will definitely tell you!"

Wang Luodan said "um" and got up with the lunch box and came to Zhang Ran's side and sat down.

When Zhang Ran saw Wang Luodan coming, he said directly: "Do you feel good about yourself in the morning?"

Wang Luodan was quite satisfied with his performance and his answer was unambiguous: "My emotions are very real, and they are in line with the thoughts and feelings that Li Na should have in that situation. She feels pretty good."

Zhang Ran didn't refute and asked: "You went to Tangshan to experience life in May. How many witnesses who have experienced the earthquake have communicated with? What did you communicate with them?"

Wang Luodan didn't understand what Zhang Ran asked about this, but he replied: "I don't count how many people there are, but there are dozens of them. I mainly ask them about their experiences when the earthquake came, what they thought, what they felt, etc."

Among the female students in Zhang Ran’s class, Wang Luodan has a relatively ordinary image and does not have much talent, but Zhang Ran likes her very much, mainly because she is hardworking. However, Wang Luodan has a big problem, which is her special self. Today, for so long, Zhang Ran wanted to remind her: "You have asked so many people, didn’t you notice that there are very few people in Tangshan crying after the earthquake? Even if someone cries, someone will soon come out to stop. Everyone presses the sadness in their hearts and is holding it up. The same is true for Li Na you play. Think about it, your parents, elder brother, and nephew are now buried in the ruins, the second brother, sister-in-law and niece have no news, and life and death are uncertain. You may only be the only living person in your family. Who will restrain your parents’ bodies, and who will bury your elder brother and nephew? Only you! So, you can’t collapse. Even if you are sad and despair, you can only hide and choose to be strong!"

Wang Luodan suddenly realized that she hadn't felt that she hadn't acted well. Now she was convinced and apologized embarrassedly: "Teacher Zhang, I'm too subjective."

Zhang Ran looked at Wang Luodan and said, "Dandan, there are two types of actors in the world. One is that they have a strong personal style and imprint when acting, such as Ge You; the other is that they have thousands of faces and no personal traces are seen, such as Teacher Li Xuejian; there is no distinction between these two actors. What determines the good or bad is not the broad acting path, but the degree of discovery of the role. What I want to ask now is, which kind of actor do you want to be?"

Wang Luodan doesn't want to be an actor like Ge You. He said without hesitation: "I am a rebellious person at heart. I hope that things I have not tried or experienced in my life can be experienced in the role. This is also the most charming thing in the profession of actors."

Zhang Ran knew that this would be: "Then do you know where your biggest obstacle is?"

Wang Luodan thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know!"

Zhang Ran analyzed: "You are so crazy girl in life." He ignored Wang Luodan's dissatisfaction expression and continued: "But when you act, you always bring the feeling of life in. You like to shape your role from your own perspective. This is the reason why you always act wrongly. This is an advantage and a flaw. This will make your performance have personal charm and style, which is an advantage; but wanting to be an actor with all faces will become your biggest obstacle. Your performance has too strong personal characteristics; when the character conflicts with your personal characteristics, everyone will not accept it, and they will think that you are acting badly!"

Wang Luodan scratched his head and said, "Teacher Zhang, do you mean to keep me in my style?"

Zhang Ran believes that Wang Luodan will definitely develop better by taking the fresh route, but with her personality, she will definitely not listen: "I didn't say that. Your acting career can only determine yourself. I just tell you where the problem you are facing now!"

Wang Luodan asked: "I want to try different roles, what should I do?"

Zhang Ran said: "Erase personal characteristics and learn to restrain yourself."

Wang Luodan continued to ask: "What should I do specifically?"

Zhang Ran could only shake his head at this: "The specific situation of each of us is different. I can only point you in a direction. You can only explore how to go slowly by yourself. But one thing is certain, that is, persist in experiencing life!"

During the afternoon shooting, Wang Luodan stopped howling and cried. She held tears in her eyes and hugged Cao Bingkun tightly, motionless, her eyes were so sad, but so strong.

The camera was closer and further away, and finally I heard Zhang Ran screaming "Very good". After filming 27 times, the scene was finally over. At this time, the huge pain that Wang Luodan endured was finally released, and he hugged Cao Bingkun and burst into tears.

Cao Bingkun wailed: "Dandan, you wipe your nose with my clothes again!"

On the morning of September 27, "Baby Plan" held a grand premiere in Peking. Director Chen Musheng, starring Cheng Long, Gu Le and Xu Guanwen attended the premiere. After the premiere, the colorful applause in the screening hall proved the quality of the film.

However, Zhang Jingchu, who was originally on the attendance list, did not show up, which disappointed many media reporters who came to her. A reporter asked director Chen Musheng about this: "Why didn't the heroine Zhang Jingchu come?"
