Although Beihe University of Technology sounds like it has nothing to do with Tianjing, this university is indeed located within the jurisdiction of Tianjing.

The time had just entered November, and Jiang Xiao came here.

Of course, it's not just him, the entire "Partners in China" crew has gathered together, because this movie, which has been in preparation for several months, is finally about to officially start filming.

The director is Han Yan, and the starring roles include him, Deng Chao, and Huang Bo. For the time being, they are the only three in the cast.

In fact, most of the entire movie is played by three people. The other characters, except for Zhang Ziling, who has a slightly larger role, are basically minor supporting roles.

In short, Jiang Xiao, who had put on makeup in advance, arrived at a lounge and saw Deng Chao and Huang Bo, who had also put on makeup, chatting with each other.

And as soon as he arrived, the two of them stopped talking and stood up together, and even greeted him first: "Here you go, Jiang Xiao!"

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, this is the first time we meet. I am Huang Bo."

Needless to say, the slightly familiar voice in front is naturally that guy Deng Chao.

Needless to say, the latter one has a name, so who else could it be?

"Brother Chao!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao casually greeted Deng Chai first, then looked at Huang Bo and said, "Teacher Huang Bo, you're welcome, just call me by my name. This shouldn't be considered the first time we've met."

?I remember seeing you at the award ceremony."

"Ouch, I really don't deserve the title of teacher. I just look older. Mr. Jiang, just call me Lao Huang."

"Also, yes, I saw your handsome figure, Mr. Guo Jiang, from a distance at the award ceremony, ha!"

I have definitely seen him before, not to mention that Jiang Xiao went on stage to receive an award, but he didn't have a chance to talk in private, so today is the first official meeting.

Speaking of which, when he received the invitation for this drama this time, he heard that it was recommended by the person in front of him. He would start acting as a college student, which was quite different from his previous screen image.

It seems that he has no screen image, just the "black skin" that made him famous in one fell swoop.

But no matter what, he still cherished this opportunity and did enough homework early just to be worthy of the appreciation of others.

"I see that your current outfit is quite stylish, and it fits your character very well."

Jiang Xiao, who doesn't want to be polite to the end, is really rude. After all, Huang Bo can only be regarded as a newcomer now. Even if the other person is already in his thirties, in terms of his actor status, he can only be regarded as a newcomer.

And after taking a closer look at the other party, who had put on a wig, had long flowing hair, and wore glasses, and looked like a "gentle scum", Jiang Xiao made a comment with a smile.

Why?

There seems to be something wrong there, yes, the word "gentle" needs to be removed.

"Really? If I can get your approval, Mr. Jiang, I feel a lot more confident."

Hearing this, Huang Bo also responded with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

Huang Bo, a man who has struggled through society, is different. He shows his emotional intelligence in just one sentence, and even Jiang Xiao can make this guy laugh.

In fact, when I first considered letting Huang Bo play this role, I had a flash of inspiration and also considered the idea of ​​a "harlequin".

Because he feels that characters like Tong Dawei have no merits and are mediocre, and they really can't find any corresponding bright spots.

Now that the former is playing the role, this character naturally becomes more eye-catching.

Jiang Xiao, who had laughed anyway, was about to continue saying something when another voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Hey, is everyone here? It seems that I am the last one. Sorry, sorry, the plane is late, so I am a little late.

.”

"Brother Hua, you're here!"

Jiang Xiao, who knew who it was just by hearing the voice, subconsciously turned around and saw Liu Dehua in black casual clothes.

At the beginning, he roped in Lao Liu to participate in the film's investment, and even invited him to be a film producer who doesn't care about anything. Today, "Chinese Partner" officially started filming, and he rushed over.

Originally, Jiang Xiao said there was no need to go to such trouble or make a special trip, but Liu Dehua himself was very insistent, so he had no choice but to arrange for staff to pick him up at the airport.

"Hello, Brother Hua!"

Next to them, Deng Chao and Huang Bo, who were lagging behind Jiang Xiaoyu and were surprised to see Liu Dehua appear, also followed suit and said hello politely.

I'm still thinking, will Andy Lau also participate in "Partners in China"?

"Hello, you are the actors of "Partners in China", right? Haven't you asked me for advice yet?"

Liu Dehua didn't have any airs and even asked them their names politely.

"Brother Hua, my name is Deng Chao. I'm a loyal fan of yours. I'm really happy to meet you. I like listening to your songs and watching your movies. Today is a dream come true!"

After briefly introducing myself, Deng Chao quickly became a little fan.

"You're welcome, Deng Chao, right? I'm glad to see you too. Fortunately, you didn't say that you grew up listening to my songs and watching my movies."

Liu Dehua, who heard this, also responded to Deng with a smile.

"There, there, Brother Hua, you are only a few years older than me."

Deng Chao, who spoke human language when seeing people and nonsense when seeing ghosts, opened his mouth "shamelessly".

"Although this is true, I still want to praise you, you are really good at talking."

Liu Dehua, who rarely responded with a joke, was also somewhat amused by Deng Chai. Although he did not know who the other party was before, the impression of meeting him for the first time today was quite good.

"Brother Hua, my name is Huang Bo. In fact, I have met you once. I also participated in "Crazy Stone", and the black guy in the movie is me."

Seeing that Liu Dehua was looking at him after roughly talking to Deng Chao, Huang Bo immediately introduced himself.

"Oh, I remember, it turns out we are an acquaintance. I'm sorry, I didn't even recognize you dressed like this."

In fact, more than two years have passed, and Andy Lau certainly doesn't have much impression of Huang Bo anymore, but when he mentioned "Crazy Stone", he instantly remembered the image of that character.

Comparing it again at this moment, the two faces gradually overlapped.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao actually found an actor with a rather special appearance like Huang Bo for "Chinese Partner".

"What Brother Hua said, the image of the character this time has really changed a lot. When I look in the mirror, I feel a little strange about myself, so this drama is also a big challenge for me."

Liu Dehua didn't remember that he should, remember... I can only say that the other party has a good memory. Huang Bo will naturally not have other unnecessary thoughts and just deal with it normally.

Admittedly, he must have been a little excited to see King Liu Tianwang, but after all, he himself was past the age of being easily impulsive, so he just kept it in his heart.

"Come on, I can see that Huang Bo, you are an actor with potential."

In any case, Liu Dehua, who has always been kind to others, certainly wouldn't mind encouraging Huang Bo.

"Okay, I see everyone knows each other. While there is still a little time, Brother Hua, let me discuss something with you."

When they saw the opportunity, Liu, Huang, and Deng were allowed to get to know each other. Jiang Xiao, who did not act as an introduction, also interjected.

…………

At almost ten o'clock in the morning, the launch ceremony of "China Partner" was officially held.

Outside a dormitory building with Bac Ha University of Technology, a banner with the words "Launching Ceremony of "Partners in China"" was hung.

Those present included director Han Yan, photographers, art directors and other heads of departments.

Of course, there are also three actors, Jiang Xiao, Deng Chao, and Huang Bo, as well as Andy Lau and Han Jiaren representing Lemon Entertainment, Da Laowang representing Huayi, and Han Wuping from China Film Group unexpectedly arrived.

Liu Dehua, Da Laowang, and Han Siping actually all belong to the employer and jointly invested in the filming of the movie "Chinese Partner".

The total investment is 50 million, of which Lemon Entertainment contributes 50%, Huayi 30%, China Film Group 10%, and Andy Lau 10%.

For a feature film without the so-called big scenes, the investment of 50 million is indeed relatively high. The main filming here will be in the United States, so the cost will definitely be higher.

Of course, there weren't many scenes shot there, less than ten days, so it can only be considered a small factor.

The other issue is Jiang Xiao's personal remuneration. Yes, his remuneration is invested by four companies after all. Of course he cannot star in it for zero remuneration, but based on the market price, 15 million + 5% of the box office share.

From "Love Is Not Blind" to "Unparalleled" and then to "The Witness", he has completely proven his box office appeal, and his net worth has naturally continued to rise, basically reaching the highest level in the industry.

Therefore, such a factor caused the cost of "China Partner" to skyrocket, reaching 50 million.
Chapter completed!
