Chapter 170: Misleading while drunk
Fan Bingbing is a smart man. After listening to Zhang Yuan's words, he immediately understood his situation.
Internal and external troubles!
There is a "double ice dispute" inside.
There is also the conflict between Sister Hua and Huayi.
Although she seems to be doing well now, she is actually troubled.
Zhang Yuan touched the bright red lipstick mark she left on his cheek, hoping that his "investment" would take root and sprout in the future.
From later generations’ perspective, although there was Liu Xiaoqin before and Fan Bingbing after.
These two big sisters from different eras, representatives of queen temperament, both died over tax issues.
But it has to be said that Fan Bingbing is very sensible in the way he conducts himself and does things in this entertainment industry where not harming others is considered a saint and the average quality of people is extremely low.
Otherwise, after she was "in trouble", her brother would not have so many connections and resources to help her.
And she is very capable.
Whether it was knowing that the director was attracted by her body but keeping his distance.
Still knows that his position in Huayi's heart is not as good as that of another Bingbing.
She knows exactly how much she weighs.
Indeed, she will never be the number one in Huayi's heart.
First, she couldn't compete with Li Bingbing. Secondly, Zhou Xun was introduced later, and everyone was better than her.
Every time Zhang Yuan thought about this, he didn't feel it was not worth it for her.
But just like the role of Yang Guifei that she played later.
It was clearly a mistake made by a group of men, but in the end all the blame fell on the women.
Why does Zhang Yuan work so hard to climb up the career ladder and doesn’t want to just be an actor?
Because he knows that even if you are a top-tier movie star, even if you are a superstar, in the eyes of capital, you are just a money-making tool that can be abandoned at any time.
"Zhang Yuan, thank you very much. I will think about these issues carefully." Fan Ye quickly adjusted her mood and said to him with a smile.
"I was just talking nonsense and asking a few random questions." Zhang Yuan immediately distanced himself from the matter.
"I understand." Fan Bingbing blinked his fox eyes and said, "If there is an opportunity that suits you in the future, I will help you keep an eye out for it."
That’s what I’ve been waiting for!
Zhang Yuan was very pleased that this woman was generous after all.
Although they had just finished discussing a very heavy topic, they were both professional actors after all, so they quickly adjusted their emotions and participated in the next performance.
Next comes the cocktail party scene.
After the filming started, Zhang Yuan and other extras chatted enthusiastically with glasses of wine in hand, while the camera crew moved through the crowd to record this lively scene.
"Hello."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"The weather is really nice today."
……
Director Feng followed the camera, and all he could hear was some fake conversation.
He didn't care and let everyone express themselves freely. After the shooting was completed, it was only a few seconds of footage, and the dialogue volume would be turned down and covered by background music.
The content of the conversations is unimportant, all the actors need to do is create a lively atmosphere.
"My child got full marks in the test yesterday."
Ok?
As he walked, passing by several figures with their backs turned, Director Feng heard some completely different and "uncomfortable" conversations.
"Guess what?"
"He called me to show off and asked me to buy toys."
"You said the child behaves so well, how can I not buy it for him?"
It sounds a bit familiar... Director Feng immediately leaned over to take a closer look.
At first glance, who else could the person who spoke be if not Zhang Yuan?
"Wow, this part is still connected to the previous scenes." Director Feng couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yesterday, the character he designed was receiving a phone call from a child during a meeting."
"Now I am discussing my children with other friends who are at the drinking party."
"The logic of the characters' behavior is consistent. His role has always been the same and is still in the play."
“And even if these things won’t be shown on the screen, he has done his best.”
Director Feng has heard of this. When Stephen Chow was a supporting actor, he felt that the role he played was not perfect enough, so he consulted the director for a reshoot.
The natural result was that he was thrown out as a lunatic.
What do you think you are?
What misunderstandings do you have about your role?
No one will pay attention to it. You must be crazy if you take it so seriously.
Stephen Chow also included this personal experience in his semi-biographical film "The King of Comedy".
But this kind of stubborn and serious attitude is the key factor that makes Stephen Chow the star.
Director Feng admires Stephen Chow very much, and now he sees similar professionalism in Zhang Yuan.
"Competing with myself." Director Feng muttered softly.
"I am also competing with myself in this film."
He wants to break through the shackles, surpass himself and not let the subject matter restrict him. This "Cell Phone" is a challenge to himself.
"Others just mess around when it doesn't concern them, but he is the only one who takes it seriously and continues to act."
"Given the four modal particles, he can actually do something wonderful with them, even a play without lines can be performed well."
Director Feng smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
After the assistant director called for a stop, everyone took off their disguises and began to rest.
Director Feng came to his wife Xu Fan.
"I regret."
"What's wrong?" Xu Fan was startled to hear her husband suddenly speak like this.
"I should have listened to you and given that kid more roles."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan immediately crossed his arms and started scolding Director Feng: "Anyway, you said you would give him more opportunities in the future."
"clear."
When he agreed yesterday, he was somewhat reluctant, but now he is completely willing.
Zhang Yuan continued to act as a human background, and after another four or five hours, he finished filming several scenes of conversations between Yan Shouyi and Fei Mo at the cocktail party.
Logically speaking, Zhang Yuan's work in the crew has basically been completed.
Director Feng only gave him a line of four words, so how much effort could it take?
It’s a little less, but the experience is valuable, and Zhang Yuan is already very satisfied that he can work with such a top domestic team on his first film.
He took his backpack and went to say hello to the director and leading actors, preparing to leave.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaogang smiled and stopped her, saying, "We don't have a night scene tonight, let's just have dinner together before leaving."
The director invited him, so he naturally complied.
In the evening, all the leading actors gathered together and ate and drank in a private room of a restaurant.
"You can drink quite well, right?"
After drinking a few glasses with Zhang Yuan, Director Feng exclaimed in surprise.
"He is more than just good, he can even make you fall down while drinking." Uncle Guoli added fuel to the fire.
Zhang Yuan immediately toasted him.
"The crosstalk and storytelling industry should not engage in internal strife!" Zhang Guoli frowned and swallowed it, then joked.
Fan Bingbing is indeed a man who has seen the world. He drank cup after cup of liquor, not at all inferior to those grown men.
In the entertainment industry, if a female star can't drink, then she shouldn't come to the table.
Otherwise, once you are drunk, you have no control over what happens that night.
After all, the goddesses in the eyes of ordinary people are just like commodities in the eyes of those big guys, which can be used to share and exchange benefits.
For example, the Hong Kong tycoon Liu Luanxiong, after spending several villas to get Guan Zhiling, naturally "loved her very much".
After all, it hurts for anyone who plays golf like this.
In a future project, Liu Luanxiong offended a big boss from 14K. When he went to the boss to make peace, the other party's request was very simple.
Let Miss Guan bring 200 million in cash to apologize.
Liu agreed immediately and brought Miss Guan to the banquet. He got his woman drunk himself and left the money for the boss to enjoy.
This is how business tycoons treat female stars: just a piece of meat.
So Fan Bingbing was always very careful and started pretending to be drunk after just a few drinks.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone's faces were red from drinking.
Even Ge You, who was usually taciturn, began to speak haltingly after a few drinks.
"The details you helped me to correct yesterday were really great!" Uncle Ge praised.
"Hey, speaking of this, I just remembered that there are a few things about our scene tomorrow that I feel are not right."
As Ge You was talking, he started talking about work again. He is indeed a drama fanatic.
"Tomorrow we will have the scene where Bingbing and I check into a hotel." Uncle Ge took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Fan Bingbing.
Fan Bingbing did not resist at all. With his eyes blurred and his head supported by one hand, he listened quietly.
"There are two things in the script that I don't like."
"First, after I received Wu Yue's text message, I went upstairs to the agreed room in front of everyone." "Second, I turned off my phone to avoid being disturbed."
"I think for a cautious person like Yan Shouyi, these two places are a bit rough, but I can't tell where the problem lies."
Uncle Ge finished speaking while shaking his head, then picked up his wine glass and started laughing foolishly.
"That's easy!" Zhang Yuan took out a cigarette from the box, and Fan Bingbing beside him immediately handed him a lighter. He even deliberately took it away when the cigarette was about to be lit, teasing him a few times.
Huh... After exhaling a puff of smoke, Zhang Yuan slowly spoke.
"As you said, according to Yan Shouyi's character, he would not be so careless."
"Even if he wants to get a room with his mistress, he will do it secretly."
"It's unreasonable to take the elevator upstairs in front of everyone."
"Why not make it look like he said he was going downstairs, but pretended to be in the wrong elevator and took the elevator upstairs."
"This kind of image of lying all the time, doesn't it resemble someone like Yan Shouyi?"
"Yes!" Uncle Ge slammed the table and said, "That's right."
"Brother, I toast to you!"
After Ge You drank too much, even the seniority orders were messed up.
Hiss... After the two of them swallowed the spicy white wine, Zhang Yuan spoke again.
"As for shutting down the phone, that's even more unreasonable."
"Yan Shouyi's first marriage was when he was having an affair with Wu Yue and his phone was turned off. His wife called Fei Mo to inquire about the affair and the truth was exposed."
"He's such a smart guy, there's no way he would fall into the same trap twice."
After saying that, Zhang Yuan took out his Nokia and pressed the power button.
After the phone screen went completely dark, he looked at Fan Bingbing and said, "Call me and try."
Fan Ye was puzzled, and took out her phone and made a call while still tipsy.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off, SORRY..."
"What did you hear?"
"Shut down."
"Okay." Zhang Yuan pressed the power button to turn on the phone.
But the difference this time was that he directly removed the back panel and then slammed the phone hard against the dining table.
With a "click" sound, a square battery with a pure black cover fell on the table, hitting the chopsticks.
"Call me again and try again."
Fan Ye was still confused, but instinctively believed him and did as he asked.
"What did you hear this time?" Zhang Yuan asked again.
"The number you dialed is out of service area..." Fan Bingbing said slowly, word by word, and then was dumbfounded.
"See? Why turn off the phone? Just do this." Zhang Yuan helped install the battery in the phone.
Uncle Ge and Director Feng looked at each other.
And this operation!
People in the future era of smart phones may not know the past era of "stupid phones", especially around 00.
As long as you unplug the battery while the phone is on, the phone will lose power before it can send a shutdown signal, and the operator will prompt that it is out of service area instead of shutting down.
"How do you know this?" Fan Bingbing looked at him curiously: "Maybe you use this trick all the time, so you have experience."
"In that case, when you were filming the scene in the car, you were biting and nibbling Teacher Ge You so skillfully. Is it because you have a lot of experience?" Zhang Yuan retorted.
Pa pa pa...Fan Bingbing hit him a few times with a smile and laughed out loud.
"How could you be so evil!"
"This detail is good!" Director Feng clapped his hands.
He not only thinks it is useful to add it to movies, but he also thinks it is useful in life.
In the future, when I don’t want my wife to find out, I will have a way to cover it up!
[Received thanks from Feng Xiaogang, +1 for artistic foundation! ]
After drinking for a while, everyone was drunk.
Feng Xiaogang can drink a lot, Ge You is also a drunkard, and Zhang Yuan, as a junior, was targeted by them and drank the most.
"Guoli, you take care of the worries." Xu Fan, who was supporting Feng Xiaogang, arranged.
There were a total of six people at the table, Zhang Guoli and Ge You were together, and she was together with her husband, so only Fan Bingbing and Zhang Yuan were left to support each other.
Xu Fan always wanted to find a partner for this "vixen" to prevent her from harming others.
Fan Ye helped the dazed Zhang Yuan to her room, threw him on the bed, helped him take off his shoes, and went to take a shower.
……
the next day.
The world is bright and clear, the sky is blue and the sun is bright.
Zhang Yuan woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, and found a white arm on his face.
Turning my head to look at my side, I saw Fan Bingbing with her hair loose and breathing evenly with her mouth open.
There was a slight slit in her eyelids, through which a hint of white could be seen, and her eyelashes were trembling. She looked half-dead, yet somewhat alluring.
This sleeping posture is not ladylike at all, with her legs spread out.
Zhang Yuan stiffened his neck and looked at his upper and lower body.
"Still wearing the clothes from last night."
"What a pity...drinking will cause trouble!"
The so-called drunken promiscuity is just an excuse.
He was really drunk, just like Zhang Yuan was last night. He had no consciousness at all and couldn't get up at all.
Immoral behavior after drinking?
All coincidences are actually deliberate!
He pushed Fan Bingbing's arm away and sat up from the bed.
"Are you leaving?" Fan Ye asked in a daze.
"Don't you want me to leave?" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, it's not impossible to make a backup shot later.
"Hehehe... You reek of alcohol, and it's all rotten. Go back and take a shower," Fan Bingbing smiled and turned around, crossing one thigh outside the quilt.
"What a pity I'm wearing pajamas..."
This kind of thing requires love between the man and the woman, and it's a tacit understanding.
After the opportunity, it won’t taste the same.
He stood up unsteadily and left the other person's room.
After he left, Fan Bingbing opened his eyes and secretly looked towards the door.
"He still has a strong willpower and didn't pounce on me."
She thought again.
If the other party really pounced on her, would she refuse?
"What a shame. Occasionally you'll meet someone who has personality and is smart."
Fan Bingbing sighed: "I don't know when we will meet again."
……
On the set, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You each had a cup of strong tea in front of them.
The two men's eyes were blank and lifeless.
"Let you drink."
"Are you still going to work?" Xu Fan shouted angrily.
"I was happy, so I drank a few more glasses." Director Feng explained, and coughed to cover up the embarrassment: "You, let's talk about the play first."
"Yes!" Ge You also forced himself to cheer up: "Hey, I think I said yesterday that there was something wrong with today's scene."
"Really?" Director Feng was so drunk that he almost blacked out.
"That's for sure. I said that at the dinner party. It seems like the phone was turned off, or the battery was out, or something?" Uncle Ge's condition was not much better than the director's.
The two main crew members looked like they had lost power in their brains.
"Look at you all, you're all so drunk. We clearly said we were going to take the elevator, and then..." Zhang Guoli was about to laugh when he realized he had forgotten everything.
"Don't make fun of each other among you three!" Xu Fan slapped them on the head one by one.
"We told you all about the show at the drinking party yesterday, but you forgot it all overnight."
"I think you are really old, not even as good as the young people."
"Who talked about that scene?" Director Feng really couldn't remember anything at all.
"Zhang Yuan!" Xu Fan shouted, "You raised two points, and he solved them all."
"What about the others?" Director Feng shrank his neck after being scolded and asked.
"His scenes have all been filmed, so he has to go home."
"Then, how about..." Director Feng scratched his head: "We can find him back?"
