Chapter 21 Sustainable Wool Collection
At night, in the hotel room.
"Isn't this bullying an honest person?" Chen Kun stood up angrily, pointing at Zhang Yuan and yelling.
"What? You still want to default on your debt?" Zhang Yuan smiled and took a few 10-yuan bills from the other party.
After work, Zhang Yuan and several young leading actors often gathered in the hotel to play Landlord or Mahjong.
In his previous life, he had worked on construction sites for more than ten years. Many people who were difficult to deal with had to be dealt with through drinking, and many transactions that could not be made public had to be conducted by playing cards. So his card skills were not that good, but definitely much better than these people.
Over the past few weeks, Chen Kun, who is a bad loser, has lost more than 3000 yuan to Zhang Yuan.
Although this amount of money is nothing to him, after all, his salary for this film alone is 50.
You know, two or three years ago when he was filming "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind", he was also the leading actor and his salary was only 9 yuan. This is more than five times more.
But what made him angry was that his card skills were insulted by the other party.
Many celebrities are like this. Leslie Cheung once mentioned this on a show, and Faye Wong, who is terrible at playing cards, once said this to him.
"You can say I'm not a good singer, but you can't say I'm a bad card player!"
【stubborn】
The same is true for Chen Kun now.
The key point is that he is from Chongqing, and the mahjong spirit of Sichuan and Chongqing does not allow him to admit defeat.
"No, come again, I want to turn the tables!" Chen Kun sat down again angrily.
"Come on, if you keep losing we'll just have to play strip mahjong." Zhang Yuan pointed at the other person's empty wallet.
When Dong Jie at the table heard the words "strip mahjong", a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, which was just caught by Zhang Yuan.
He knew that this sweet girl with a bit of baby fat who played the role of Bai Yueguang in the play was not as pure as she looked.
She was photographed kissing other male actors on the street while married, and the key target was still Wang Dazhi... Although he is ugly, being with her gives her a bit of a Beauty and the Beast feel.
I can only say that this person is not a face lover, and probably likes people with talent.
Hiss, come to think of it, Brother Kun is almost the same.
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought that Brother Kun's son in later life would be much less handsome than him. He wondered what the child's mother would look like to have Brother Kun's genes be like that.
I guess these two are not in love with looks.
"Forget it, I don't want to play anymore. I have something else to do." Zhang Yuan didn't think any more and turned around and left the room regardless of Chen Kun's foul language and provocation.
Brother Kun was so angry.
"Fuck it, I can't act as well as him, and I can't even beat him at cards. I'm so pissed off!"
"Okay, why are you in such a hurry? It's not that his delivery skills are bad. We also have our own advantages." Qiao Zhenyu comforted from the side.
"Too……"
On the other side, Zhang Yuan came to Aunt Wu Jing's room and knocked on the door.
"You're coming from afar, come in quickly!"
Zhang Yuan stepped into the house. Kou Zhenghai, who played Mr. Jin, and Huang Meiying, who played the heroine Leng Qingqiu's mother, were cracking melon seeds beside a mahjong table. When they saw him, the two old men's faces were filled with joy.
"Xiaoyuan, hurry up and sit down. We'll be waiting for you."
Why are you in such a hurry to leave Chen Kun and the others?
In order to catch up with this "senior group"!
Zhang Yuan first took out a pack of fine scented tea from his pocket, brewed it, and gave each of the three veteran actors a cup, casually reaping a small amount of attributes.
After sitting down, start coding.
The card skills of these veteran actors are obviously much better than those of the youth group next door, but they are still slightly inferior to Zhang Yuan.
But unlike Chen Kun and the others who came here to play cards, Zhang Yuan did not come here to make money.
"Three." Zhang Yuan pushed out one.
Huang Meiying on the other side was filled with joy. She pushed her own cards and shouted excitedly, "Win!"
[Received thanks from Huang Meiying, physical skills +3! ]
"Nine loaves."
"Win!" Aunt Wu Jing clapped her hands happily.
[Received thanks from Wu Jing, Vocal Basics +3! ]
"Twenty thousand."
"All the same!" Kou Zhenghai laughed. [Received thanks from Kou Zhenghai, acting skills +2, dialogue skills +1, dialogue skills +2! ]
Four people were playing cards, and one of them made a mistake. That person was Zhang Yuan.
This is the real purpose of his coming here to play cards!
He always gives people trouble for no reason. How can these people not thank him in their hearts?
After Wu Jing contributed some lines to him that day, he thought of borrowing lines from several veteran actors to make up for his own shortcomings.
But after trying it, the water delivery method is still useful, but the efficiency is too low.
Everyone in the crew of "Conquer" was poor and in difficulty, so they would naturally be grateful if someone brought them water. But it was different here. There were several tea waiters in the crew, and Zhang Yuan couldn't help.
So he started to think of a sustainable mahjong profit plan.
To put it simply, it means winning money from Chen Kun and then losing money to these veteran actors.
Zhang Yuanyuan calls it the pension insurance of the new era, using young people's money to subsidize the elderly.
Even though it seems that all you have to do is lose, it's actually more difficult than winning money from Chen Kun and the others. If you have to lose, you have to lose without leaving any trace.
These are the "real skills" Zhang Yuan acquired from playing cards with leaders at all levels in his previous life.
Otherwise, how can you give money to the supervisor on the construction site?
The key is that these three veteran actors really have something!
Kou Zhenghai is a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy in 85. He has been working for nearly 20 years and started out as a dubbing artist. How could his lines be bad?
Wu Jing has been introduced before, and the other Huang Meiying is even more powerful.
This is the old artist who later played the role of the mother in Xu Shanzheng's "Lost in Russia". He joined the Bayi Film Studio in 79 and enjoyed the treatment of a full master!
Nicknamed "Yi Tiao Huang" at the Bayi Film Studio, he always performed in one take and his line delivery skills were amazing.
With these three giving him special training, Zhang Yuan’s dialogue skills have skyrocketed these days!
After losing all the several hundred dollars he won from Chen Kun today, Zhang Yuan pushed the cards away with a bitter face.
"You three are too good at playing cards. If you keep going like this, I'll lose all my film pay!"
Chen Kun: …
"Young people should just consider it as paying tuition fees."
"You are so smart. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future."
Several people responded with a smile, saying that winning money was a small matter, but they felt like they were gambling gods when playing cards with Zhang Yuan, which was very cool.
"Look at how badly I lost, why don't you give me some suggestions on acting, just have pity on me." Zhang Yuan touched the scented tea on his cheeks as if it were tears.
"You are waiting for us here..."
With the attributes and theories of the three veteran actors, Zhang Yuan left the room satisfied.
Although it was already late, he did not go back to his room to rest, but knocked on another door.
Zhang Yuan felt like a prostitute who had to go to work several times a night.
"Zhang Yuan is here."
He didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence tonight.
The room they came to this time belonged to Wang Bozhao, who played the villain Bai Xiongqi in the film.
He once played the role of White Dragon Horse in the 86 version of "Journey to the West" and is well-known throughout the country.
However, what Lao Wang is more famous for is probably the incident in which he was beaten up by two Hong Kong losers on the set of "Little Fish and Flower" a few years later.
That incident was the focus of the game between the Beijing and Hong Kong circles at that time, and led to the fall of a group of bigwigs.
In terms of acting skills, he is slightly inferior to the three veteran actors, but he has made good achievements in calligraphy, Chinese painting, and even martial arts.
He holds titles such as member of the Calligraphy Association and academician of the Famous Painting and Calligraphy Academy, and his martial arts skills come from Lin Zhiqian, the martial arts director of the "Journey to the West" crew.
Lin Zhiqian’s master is the famous martial artist Wan Laisheng!
In Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster", the story of "Five Tigers Going South" in the "Northern Kung Fu Spreads to the South" was mentioned, and Wan Laisheng was one of the tigers.
Zhang Yuan had long been eyeing Wang Bozhao, hoping to learn some "authentic" martial arts attributes from him.
This person happened to be a good teacher, so Zhang Yuan took advantage of this and became a disciple of the teacher in the crew. He followed him to practice calligraphy every day and learn some of his attributes at the same time.
This "sustainable fleecing" lasted for more than ten days.
On this day, there happened to be a big show with dozens of people...
