Chapter 146 Queen Mother Yin Yue
No matter how big or small the things in the crew are, when they encounter boring people, they will be like wildfire meeting the wind, which can burn the whole forest in an instant.

The news of the duel between Wu Jing and Zhang Yuan spread like wildfire, and within half a day, it spread throughout the entire "A Chinese Ghost Story" crew.

The news even reached the crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" which was about to wrap up.

"Damn, have you mastered your magic?"

"Can you even beat Wu Jing?" Hu Jun, who was wearing a mask and a costume because he had a night scene to perform, said with his eyes wide open during dinner.

"No, we are just joking, don't take it seriously, I can't beat them."

"Don't be so modest. Word has spread among the crew that Wu Jing was knocked unconscious by you and nearly died."

"That's because of altitude sickness." Zhang Yuan waved his hand, but this was also part of his plan.

After the meal, I learned from Hu Jun that the crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" would finish the battle within three days.

That means that the battle between him and Cheng Hao will also end within three days.

Thinking of this, he felt a little lonely.

"There are still many new professions that have not been developed..."

Wu Jing returned to the crew to continue work in the evening. He was wearing his costume and limping to the set.

"Brother Jing."

"Don't call me brother. From today on, you are my brother!" Wu Jing rolled his eyes at him.

At the same time, I cursed myself in my heart.

I am such a fool that I fell for his trick!

The more Wu Jing thought about it, the angrier he became, but he was not angry at Zhang Yuan, but at himself.

I can’t make enough money, I can’t catch enough women, I can’t play with my brain…

What frightened him even more was what he learned from Yuan Hua about Zhang Yuan's astonishing speed of progress.

Although he was tricked during the fight yesterday, he could still feel that Zhang Yuan's Kung Fu foundation was very solid.

This solidity does not come from a certain move or weapon, but from the solidity at the overall core level.

From footwork, body movements, reactions, awareness, understanding... no matter from which aspect, it seems like an excellent foundation that has been obtained through at least five years of intensive professional practice.

I have achieved this level in less than a year, so what have I been practicing for all these years?
Wu Jing completely doubted his life.

"Then, Brother Wu." Zhang Yuan followed up his words and shouted, "You have a play to do later, can you take a photo of this embarrassing look?"

"What do you care about me?" Wu Jing was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night yesterday, and he is still annoyed now.

"If you don't mind, I can give you a massage."

Just as Wu Jing was about to refuse, he felt a sharp pain in his left leg.

Then he had no choice but to grit his teeth and nodded.

About twenty minutes later, Wu Jing stood up from the makeshift "massage bed" made of two chairs, moved his arms and legs, and turned his waist.

[Received thanks from Wu Jing, Acting Skills +1, Martial Arts Basics +2, Tongbi Fist +1, Long Spear Basics +1! ]

The pain is still there, but it has weakened by more than five points. The meridians that were originally blocked have obviously become much more unblocked, and the movements are much more flexible.

"You're pretty good at this!" Wu Jing said in surprise.

"Just be happy. I usually only give massages to women, and they have to be beautiful women," Zhang Yuan joked.

He was deliberately trying to please Wu Jing to vent his resentment from yesterday's competition.

Wu Jing was exactly as he thought.

This person is not a petty person and has a straightforward temper.

Now Zhang Yuan has helped him relieve a lot of pain, especially the waist injury that has troubled him for many years has also been alleviated a lot under the massage.

Along with the physical injuries, the resentment that was already a little bit gone also disappeared.

"Thank you very much, Brother Zhang." Wu Jing immediately twisted her waist and made a gesture with the orchid finger, looking very coquettish.

"What are you two doing?" Martial arts director Ma Yuchen happened to come to work.

"It's okay, we are just having fun."

"Yes." Wu Jing hooked Zhang Yuan's shoulders.

Ma Yuchen nodded without saying anything more, but his heart was suddenly filled with waves.

"Yesterday, he was in such a bad situation, and today he's so close to me. This Zhang Yuan..."

Ma Yuchen was amazed.

Tonight's night shows are all literary plays.

This was good news for Wu Jing who was fighting with an injury.

But there was one thing that made Zhang Yuan feel strange.

"Brother Jing."

"What's wrong?"

"There's no fighting scene tonight, why is Lao Ma here?" Zhang Yuan looked at Ma Yuchen who was looking around not far away: "He's a martial arts instructor, he can't even direct a drama."

"Oh, yes." Wu Jing also turned his head and found Huadian.

The two observed for a while and found that Lao Ma's eyes were wandering, but they always tilted their heads to one place from time to time.

He and Wu Jing followed Lao Ma's gaze and finally understood.

"Oh!" They both nodded.

"I see."

"And he's still pretending to give instructions."

"Old Ma, this stuffy bastard..."

In the direction of Ma Yuchen's sight, they found a person.

a woman.

"It's quite a good taste." Zhang Yuan nodded in approval.

The person who appeared in his sight was the actress Zhu Yan, who played Zhang Yuan's "mother", the empress dowager of the Yinyue Dynasty in the play.

Her appearance and temperament are somewhat similar to those of Zeng Li, one of the four golden flowers of the 96 class of the Central Academy of Drama.

He has a long face, large facial features, and a good temperament, but he looks rather "anxious".

This is an anti-aging image template that looks old in her teens, just right in her thirties, and young in her forties.

Zhu Yan is now twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and has just entered her golden years.

"This one is pretty, and I noticed that her temperament is different from other actresses." Wu Jing touched his chin and said, "She has a heroic spirit that others don't have. I can't really put my finger on what it is."

Wu Jing didn't know, but Zhang Yuan knew it very well.

This so-called heroic spirit comes from Zhu Yan’s career before she became an actor.

Policemen.

This person is not a logistics clerk, but a front-line criminal policeman.

Before becoming a criminal policeman, he was in an art troupe and was an all-rounder.

Although they were all small roles, he has starred in many popular works.

"Kangxi Dynasty", "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "Little Fish and Flower", "The Twins", "Legend of Heaven and Earth", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" (Ren Xianqi version)...

And for some reason, the crew always arranges those "earth-shattering" looks for her.

How exactly is it “earth-shattering”?
In "Young Zhang Sanfeng", she played the role of a matchmaker from the Western Regions with a red cloth on her head.

In "Legend of Heaven and Earth", her head was tangled with twisted telephone wires.

It is even more exciting in "A Chinese Ghost Story". The styling looks like the makeup artist has been offended.

In order to reflect the fact that Queen Mother Yin Yue is a tree demon, a bright yellow, dry, and north-facing weed wig was put on her head.

From a distance, this hairstyle is very similar to that of Hanazawa in "Chibi Maruko-chan".

As for the Queen Mother's other identity, the Moon Demon, in this form, the stylist once again showed his creativity and gave her a feather headgear similar to that of an old Indian chief. When she covered her face, Zhang Yuan thought it was Thanksgiving. But even so, her character has never been criticized for being ugly, all thanks to her face and temperament.

It can be seen how good-looking this person is.

The ancient costume of the mature woman is indeed stunning, no wonder the old show-off Ma Yuchen is obsessed with it.

"I remember that Ma's wife in his later life was a Malaysian actress, and they should not be married yet."

"This way there are no moral or legal issues."

A gentleman always seeks a beautiful lady.

Zhang Yuan walked up to Lao Ma with a smile.

"Director Ma, what are you looking at?"

"Just take a look." Lao Ma said insincerely.

"Which actress in our crew do you think is the most beautiful?"

"Why do you ask?"

Old Ma suddenly became alert.

"I think Zhu Yan is pretty. Do you think we are suitable for each other?"

"Not suitable!" Old Ma immediately shouted impatiently, "She is so much older than you, no way!"

He thought to himself, if Zhang Yuan takes action, I will have no chance.

If I were a woman, I would choose Zhang Yuan!
"Look, you're anxious again." Zhang Yuan patted Lao Ma's shoulder with a wicked smile, "Why are you pretending? I've seen through you a long time ago."

"You cheated me!" Ma Yuchen finally reacted.

"She is quite good, with good looks and temperament. If you like her, just chase her." Zhang Yuan shrugged.

"We don't have much in common, and I look rough while she is delicate and tender..." Lao Ma was a little unconfident.

Seeing him lower his head like an innocent boy, Zhang Yuan immediately tried to persuade him.

"What's the big deal? Even though Chen Shisan is so handsome, he still managed to get Wan Qiwen."

"That's right!" Hearing this, Lao Ma regained his confidence: "After all, I am more human than Chen Shisan."

Don’t make fun of each other… Zhang Yuan complained in his heart.

"She's resting, you bring her water."

"She acted, you praised her."

"She's eating, you treat her."

"Just find more opportunities to interact, that's all."

Ma Yuchen nodded, not quite understanding.

In the next few days, he really did what Zhang Yuan said, but the effect seemed average.

Today, it was another night show.

The content of this scene is that the Seven Nights Demon Lord, played by Zhang Yuan, learns that his mother is possessed by the Moon Demon. After defeating her, he finds it difficult to kill her.

Director Li Huizhu requested to shoot the scene of Queen Yinyue's transformation first.

That is the scene where "Hanazuka-san" changes into "old Indian chief".

Zhu Yan has a hard time as she needs to change into two different looks within a short period of time.

The first set is not bad, just stand there and put some smoke screens around.

The second shape is a little more complicated.

After the Queen Mother transformed into the Moon Demon, she still had to reveal the pain of losing herself.

In addition to a head full of feathers, the "old chief" also has long black hair.

Zhu Yan herself has beautiful long hair, which saved the crew a lot of trouble. They didn't even need to wear a wig and could just use their real hair as it was straightened.

At the same time, in order to show the Moon Demon's strength, the crew also placed several large industrial fans next to her.

After turning on the machine for a while, he turned on the fan, blowing all her hair up to the sky, making her look like she was exploding with resentment.

"Everyone in his place."

Following the director's call, all the actors took their positions, while Zhang Yuan stood opposite Zhu Yan.

"ACTION!"

"Ah!!!" Zhu Yan immediately screamed towards the sky, in an extremely shrill voice.

The hair floating in the air is like a ghost, so sinister.

"Card!"

Not long after the show started, Ma Yuchen asked Director Li to stop.

"The hand movements are not ferocious enough. You should be in pain and conflicted, and the fan is also exposed." After saying this, Lao Ma walked forward with a smile to help Zhu Yan correct her movements.

Zhang Yuan remained calm, but thought to himself.

"Old Ma is a quick learner. He knows how to abuse his power for personal gain and touch other people's hands."

It is also reasonable to teach hand movements by holding hands and teaching step by step.

After teaching the movements, he moved a few fans closer and made a few rough gestures to make sure there were no problems. Then Lao Ma returned to the director.

"ACTION!"

As Director Li started filming again, Zhu Yan screamed again.

This time, her voice was much more mournful than the last time, like a dying wolf whimpering to the moon.

Another example is a night owl whose tail is stepped on, which is thrilling.

The movements of the hands and the expression on his face also twisted in pain.

"Cut!" Director Li waved his hand: "Very good."

"Good!" Lao Ma shouted and clapped his hands: "Great performance!"

“That pain, that entanglement, was fully manifested.”

Just as Zhang Yuan said, Ma Yuchen found an opportunity to praise the other party's acting skills.

Clap clap clap!

Not only did he praise, he also led the applause in a very exaggerated manner, as if the performance just now was brilliant enough to win a major film award.

"what!"

But Zhu Yan's screams did not stop when the camera paused.

"Look, this is a good actor. Once he gets into the role, he can't stop."

Lao Ma gave a thumbs up and praised loudly.

"Yeah……"

"What Lao Ma said makes sense."

"Still in the show, so professional."

Other crew members echoed this.

Only Zhang Yuan, who was standing in front of Zhu Yan, said nothing.

Not only did he remain silent, his expression gradually became more solemn.

"wrong."

Zhang Yuan looked at the other person's painful face and thought something was wrong.

"Her expression doesn't seem to be an act!"
