Chapter 186 Wall Master

After trying all the makeup looks, Zhang Yuan changed into casual clothes and walked out of the big tent, where he met two young women.

The first one is his most familiar good sister Shu Chang.

The other is his junior sister in the play, He Meitian, who plays Qi Fang.

Speaking of which, in any work of Mr. Jin, as long as two of the identities appear, there will basically be no good consequences.

First of all, of course, is the role of "cousin" he once played.

The character Murong Fu he played is most similar to his cousin Wang Xiaofeng in "The Untold Story". Both of them felt hurt in their hearts because of the misunderstanding that their cousin had lost her innocence, and they gradually became estranged, completely hurting the woman who originally loved them deeply.

The second is the identity of the junior sister in Mr. Jin’s book!

Whenever a woman is called "Junior Sister" in Mr. Jin's books, her fate is basically certain, and it will be nothing but miserable.

The junior sister Qi Fang in "The Untold Story" was deceived into marrying Wan Gui and was eventually killed by her husband.

Yue Lingshan in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" married Lin Pingzhi and was eventually killed by her husband.

Yue Lingshan's mother, Ning Zhongze, was also the junior sister of her husband Yue Buqun. She eventually committed suicide out of shame and despair.

This is not over yet.

In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Ji Xiaofu was also a junior sister of the Emei Sect, and was eventually suffocated to death by her master's "immortal touch on the head".

Yang Dingtian’s wife, Madam Yang, was Cheng Kun’s junior sister, and she eventually committed suicide.

So as long as I can put myself in the position of Junior Sister in Master Jin's book, then...

It’s over!
Moreover, most junior sisters cannot spend the rest of their lives with their childhood sweethearts. In addition to the above, the same is true for Fang Yi and Liu Yizhou in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

Mr. Jin wrote that the junior sister was like some men when they saw black stockings, with a particularly destructive power.

"Brother Yuan, why are you bald?" Shu Chang covered his mouth and chuckled when he saw his new look.

"Would you like to touch it?"

"want!"

Shu Chang trotted a few steps, his eyes curved with a smile, walked forward, raised his hands, and played with Zhang Yuan's head.

Humans have a common trait: when they see something round, they want to play with it.

Director Wang Xinming happened to be nearby. Zhang Yuan saw him and waved his hand: "Director Wang, do you want to touch it?"

Wang Xinming moved his palms, forcibly controlled the urge to move forward and fold it a few times, and waved his hands.

"You play."

"You really don't want to touch it?" Zhang Yuan smiled and looked at the other person intently: "It's rare for me to shave my head."

"Hehehe..." Wang Xinming smiled awkwardly, touched his nose and walked away to direct other employees to work.

[Received thanks from Wang Xinming, directing skills +1! ]

He immediately understood what Zhang Yuan meant.

It's rare to shave your head... I never planned to do that.

Director Wang was of course aware of the flaws in the contract. When he learned that Zhang Yuan had taken the initiative to add additional clauses to the contract, he felt that he was being righteous and his favorable impression of him doubled.

At the same time, he also understood that the other party was reminding him and also had a bit of a complaint in his tone.

"Brother Yuan." Seeing Director Wang walking away, Shu Chang held his head and said solemnly, "You look handsome even with a shaved head!"

Zhang Yuan understood instantly that Shu Chang was trying to comfort him because he was afraid that he would feel bad.

"It was not easy for her to grow up. If her parents spoiled her, she would not have developed the habit of always thinking about others."

He thought that if it were Liu Qianqian, she would probably slap herself on the head and laugh.

"Well, you have good taste." Zhang Yuan also touched her head.

"By the way, Brother Yuan, let me introduce you, this is Sister Meitian!"

There were not many women of the right age in the crew, and Shu Chang was a likable person, so she quickly became friends with He Meitian.

The two of them stood together, looking like sisters of the same age.

But in fact, He Meitian is one year older than the older-looking Wu Yue, and is almost thirty years old this year.

But Shu Chang's dress and appearance appear mature, while He Meitian's face and figure are particularly childish. If you don't look closely, you might think they are the same age.

Having a baby face is really an advantage!
Otherwise, why would He Meitian always play roles like junior sister, little girl or first love white moonlight?

Later in "The Disciples" she tried to break through herself by wearing a swimsuit and going for the sexy route, but unfortunately it was too late to change her situation, and the audience's impression of her always remained with the innocent and lively image in martial arts films.

"Hello, Sister Meitian." Zhang Yuan stepped forward to greet her and observed her closely.

She has round almond eyes, a chubby face, and looks like a cute girl next door.

Her role as the shy, drooping little nun Yi Lin in Louis Koo's version of "Swordsman" is truly a classic.

Shu Chang, who was standing by, saw how seriously Zhang Yuan was watching and his smile immediately dropped.

But he quickly picked it up and said with a smile.

"Sister Meitian, don't underestimate Brother Yuan because he's young. He's already acted in many dramas and he's very good."

"Really? I'm looking forward to our future cooperation."

A few people were talking politely, while Shu Chang kept praising him, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The first day's work was mainly to familiarize myself with the crew and prepare characters and lines.

For Zhang Yuan, all he has to do is practice his moves with the martial arts director to prepare for the subsequent filming.

In the whole film, he has the most fighting scenes and the most action.

I practiced until the afternoon, ate a bite of food, and planned to take a break before continuing. However, while strolling around, I saw a strange sight.

There are many temporary buildings on the set that are still under construction. They are being built while filming, which is not uncommon for a film crew.

However, in front of a pile of scattered bricks and a half-wall under construction, he saw a familiar figure.

"Teacher Du, why are you still working as a bricklayer?"

The person he saw was Teacher Du Zhiguo, who had gone with him to get his makeup done earlier.

But now the famous actor was placing bricks on a crooked wall, holding a red brick in one hand and a trowel in the other.

He looked so dusty and dirty, even more miserable than Nian Gengyao who was demoted to guard the city gate.

My goodness, it’s so hard for this old actor to make money. He even has to work as a helper for the crew?
Zhang Yuan thought that shouldn’t be the case.

Moreover.

He took a look at the wall built by Teacher Du, which could be described as "curvy and graceful".

These two words are good words to describe women, but if they are used to describe a wall... Zhang Yuan took two steps back, fearing that he would fall down and become paralyzed on one side.

"Oh, it's Zhang Yuan." Teacher Du put his hand on his eyebrows to block the sunlight, turned his head to take a look, and a smile appeared on his dark old face: "I'm practicing my role now."

"Role?"

Zhang Yuan slapped his forehead and finally understood.

The character Wan Zhenshan played by Du Zhiguo has a nickname among book fans.

Wall Master!

The master of building walls here does not mean the master of earth or the master of defense. This man is really good at building walls!
As the main character in the book "The Untold Story", Wan Zhenshan, the Five Cloud Hand, is just like most of the "heroes" in the book, a vicious person with a red face and a black heart.

His favorite thing to do was to kill someone and then build the person's body into a wall, or inside the wall of his own house, which was very perverted.

Zhang Yuan speculated that when Jin Yong designed the character Wan Zhenshan, he must have drawn on the novel "The Black Cat" by horror master Edgar Allan Poe.

This short story, also called "The Black Cat in the Wall", describes a husband who killed his wife and sealed her body in the wall of the cellar.

It is said that half of Jin Yong's literary background is from famous overseas writers, such as "The Untold Story", which is written by both Alexandre Dumas and Edgar Allan Poe.

Mr. Jin is so powerful because he stands on the shoulders of countless giants.

Back to Wan Zhenshan, when Zhang Yuan thought about it, he understood Du Zhiguo's intention.

In the film, not only the scene of Wan Zhenshan building a wall is filmed, but also the horror scene of Wan Zhenshan having nightmares every day, sleepwalking in the middle of the night, and "building a wall without any real objects".

Although Mr. Du Zhiguo is a very good actor, he has never been a bricklayer and knows nothing about laying walls.

If it were an idol artist in the future, then if they couldn’t do it, then they wouldn’t do it. They would just pretend to do it.

But it’s different for veteran artists!

will not?

Then learn it!

For the sake of performance and character, learning a new skill is just basic professional ethics and is not a big deal.

Therefore, Teacher Du took the initiative to come to the crew's construction site, took a set of clothes and tools, and followed the workers' instructions to start the actual work.

"Teacher Du, please be careful." Zhang Yuan glanced at the crumbling wall and reminded him, "You can build it, but don't hurt yourself."

"I know." Du Zhiguo replied with a smile, thinking that this junior was quite polite and caring.

Click!

Just as Zhang Yuan waved his hand and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of earth and rocks bursting.

He suddenly looked up and looked at Teacher Du’s “masterpiece”.

Although it was impossible to see clearly, with Zhang Yuan's eyesight as a 15-year veteran on construction sites, he could tell at a glance that the wall had begun to tilt slightly and would collapse in a flash!

"Teacher Du, be careful!"

Zhang Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Du Zhiguo, who was still saying goodbye to him with his back to the wall, and then they both rushed to the outside with their thighs and waists struggling.

This time Zhang Yuan used all his strength!

The two slid several meters on the gravel-covered ground before they stopped.

The ground was rough to begin with, and Mr. Du Zhiguo was only wearing a short-sleeved polo shirt. As a result, the outer side of his arm that was in contact with the ground immediately had a layer of skin rubbed off, and a trace of bright red was seeping out.

"oops!"

Teacher Du grimaced and cried out in pain.

"Zhang Yuan, what are you doing?" Teacher Du Zhiguo gritted his teeth and looked stern, obviously not understanding his actions and even a little annoyed.

"Teacher Du, this wall is going to collapse." Zhang Yuan's shoulders were hurt by the pebbles on the ground, and he replied while gasping for breath.

"No, I'm telling you, a young man, you can't look down on an old actor like me." Du Zhiguo raised his eyebrows excitedly: "Although I'm not very skilled, I have a strong ability to learn."

"After watching the workers for a long time, I can't say that they are skilled enough, but they are just copying them."

"Look at this wall, it doesn't look like it's going to collapse!"

Du Zhiguo raised his hand, pointed at his masterpiece, and then...

Kucha, crash, boom, bang...

Du Zhiguo:!!!

Has this kid ever opened his mouth?

The wall fell, but it was a good fall.

It’s not that the shape is good, but the direction of collapse is just towards the other side, and the two people are unharmed.

The only wound was caused by the scratch just now.

"It's really, really, really collapsed!" Du Zhiguo's originally smooth-sounding words now turned into Fan Debiao's.

Zhang Yuan exerted force with his legs and stood up in an instant with a somersault, and then helped Teacher Du, whose legs were trembling, up.

Now you know, unprofessionalism on construction sites can really kill people!

Du Zhiguo stared blankly at the broken wall that he had built, and he felt the blood in his body run cold!
Yes.

The wall didn't fall towards me.

Yes.

Zhang Yuan pulled himself away in advance.

What if these two conditions are not met?

Wouldn’t I be hit under the bricks?
It was the first day of the crew and the accident happened. It was considered a work injury, but if it was not a good thing, it would have hit my head...

He touched the top of his head and felt it was icy cold and chilly.

"Zhang Yuan, thank you." Du Zhiguo shook his head and pulled him over to express his gratitude.

If it weren’t for this kid, I might have been in trouble today!

[Received thanks from Du Zhiguo, acting skills +3, dialogue foundation +2, body foundation +3, vocal foundation +2! ]

Zhang Yuan glanced at Du Zhiguo's contribution with familiarity. After all, he was a veteran actor who had been in drama troupes for many years, and his figure and performance were still as good as ever.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, he heard a groan, and Zhang Yuan turned to look at Teacher Du: "Are you injured?"

"It's just a little scratch, it's nothing serious."

"Ouch..."

"Does it hurt?" Zhang Yuan just turned his head and heard another groan, and asked again.

"I'm fine. How are you? I heard you groaning. Are you hurt somewhere?"

"I didn't groan, did I?"

"Neither do I?"

Zhang Yuan and Du Zhiguo looked at each other, then turned their heads together and looked suddenly at the collapsed brick wall.

"Oh my god, help me..."

What the hell!

At this point, it was clear what was going on. They both shouted for help and rushed towards the remaining wall.

After picking up and throwing away dozens of collapsed bricks, a thin, dark figure could be vaguely seen.

Sure enough, someone was crushed!
In addition to a human figure, there were also a number of bulging snakeskin bags scattered under the bricks.

They couldn't do it alone. Soon, more than a dozen strong men came, all of whom were hired workers by the crew. They quickly carried the injured out and rushed them to the hospital... (End of this chapter)
