A few days later, the crew.

Zhang Yuan was wearing a costume, standing in a corner outside the camera and observing secretly.

In front of the camera, Lin Yueru, played by An Yixuan, was rushing into the room and confronting Zhao Linger, played by Liu Qianqian.

"Sister Yueru?"

"Please return to Nanzhao immediately and never come back."

The crew's filming was jumpy. The current plot is about Li Xiaoyao, his two beauties, Anu, Tang Yu and others gathering at the inn.

At the same time, it is also the last happy time for the protagonists of the whole drama.

Because of the following plot content, it feels like you have arrived at a Zhang Xiaoquan store.

Knife, knife, knife, knife...

As the plot progresses to this point, the characters of the two female protagonists, Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru, have also changed as they grow up.

Although the innocent Zhao Linger was reluctant in her heart, she had to pretend to be strong for the sake of the people of Nanzhao Kingdom. At the same time, she severed her relationship with Li Xiaoyao and treated him coldly.

Lin Yueru had long since let go of her temper as a spoiled young lady and could no longer suppress her feelings. She was unwilling to continue to help Zhao Linger and Li Xiaoyao get together.

At this time, both heroines are deeply in love with the hero, but for some reason they are unable to get him.

"You've always been obsessed with him." Lin Yueru said fiercely.

"I didn't." Zhao Linger turned away indifferently.

"Tsk..." Zhang Yuan, who was observing from the side, discovered that the emotions of these two people were a little off.

"Then consider this as my begging you." With a gloomy look on her face, An Yixuan knelt on the ground and begged the other party to leave and not let Li Xiaoyao miss her anymore.

"Card!"

Director Wu scratched his half-bald head.

"Come here, both of you."

Calling Liu Qianqian and An Yixuan to his side, the director began to review the play with them.

"Xixi, Zhao Linger should be cold on the outside but warm on the inside at this moment. She may say that she doesn't want to be free and easy, but her heart is bleeding."

"Yixuan, Lin Yueru should be crazy about love at this time, even extremely humble. For Li Xiaoyao, she not only gave up her father and family background to follow him, but also was willing to be his backup to help him heal his heartbreak even though she knew that Li Xiaoyao loved someone else."

"You two need to look for this feeling carefully."

"Especially Yixuan, the look of being tormented and in pain, wanting but not getting, must be very strong."

Both of them nodded, not quite understanding.

Zhang Yuan shook his head at this time.

"It's hard."

He knew that it was difficult for the two men to show their character's current state.

These two originally had little acting experience and their understanding of the characters was rather superficial.

Moreover, acting is something that requires a lot of life experience.

Really look, really listen, really feel.

How to play a blind person well?
The best way is to live with the blind rather than rely on imagination.

But look at them.

You asked Liu Xixi to act like someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and loves without saying it, which does not suit her personality.

Let An Yixuan perform being humble for love. With her family background and looks, when she is in her twenties, only men are humble for her.

There is no life!
Xixi is better off. At most she can just act cool and get away with it.

But you want An Yixuan to be a bootlicker, you know he doesn't have the ability to do that.

After shooting several times, the scene still did not meet the requirements. Director Wu simply stopped wasting time and started shooting something else.

This is the efficiency of ordinary Hong Kong directors. They will never waste time fighting over a scene.

Of course, there are also extraordinary ones, such as the King of Sunglasses, who loves to fight to the death.

At around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, the crew took a break and the main actors lined up to remove their makeup.

Girls' costumes are complicated and take a long time to remove their makeup, so Zhang Yuan usually waits outside with Wang Lujiang and Peng Yuyan while smoking, letting the actresses remove their makeup first.

"Huaxia cigarettes are so cheap." Teacher Wang Lujiang smoked the Furongwang cigarette that Zhang Yuan handed to him. "And there aren't those disgusting pictures on the packaging."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said nothing. They were considering banning smoking.

Unlike Chinese smokers, who smoke enough to pay the tax of an aircraft carrier a year? Who would be willing to ban it?

clap clap clap...

The three of them were smoking and chatting when Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a few taps on his shoulders, which were strong but not very loud.

Looking back, Liu Qianqian looked at him with squinted eyes and an angry expression.

"what happened?"

"Humph!"

Xixi put the phone in front of him and shook it vigorously.

"What's going on? Is your phone broken?" Zhang Yuan was puzzled.

Sissi pretended to hit him on the head with her cell phone, but then she remembered that she was using a Nokia and hitting him on the head could easily result in death, so she just gestured twice and stopped.

"What day is today?"

"what?"

"Today is Thursday!" Xixi pointed to the time in the upper right corner of the screen: "You promised before that when I go into the water to film, you will resume Crazy Thursday!"

"You big piece of swallow!"

Oh... then he remembered that he had actually mentioned this when filming the bathing scene that day.

"Okay, let's go to KFC now."

When he first debuted, he felt a little pressured by spending dozens of dollars on a colonel's meal, but now this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

"Then I'll go call Sister Shangpin Yan and the others."

You want me to treat you, right... Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, letting her go. Several girls couldn't eat much.

"Let's go together." Peng Yuyan raised his hand and said, "It just so happens that there is no night scene today, and the crew doesn't provide meals."

"Beauty is free, men pay for themselves." Zhang Yuan gave them a look of disdain.

Two grown men want to get my free sex?

After a while, Zhang Yuan led Liu Qianqian, Liu Pinyan and An Yixuan towards the outside of the film and television base.

Peng Yuyan, who was squatting beside the curb, raised his head and looked over, his face full of envy.

Peng Yuyan was also a young man at that time, at the age when he was prone to having affairs with other girls. When he saw Zhang Yuan had all the pretty girls in the crew, he was of course jealous.

"Okay, stop looking." Teacher Wang Lujiang patted his shoulder and said, "You can't envy me."

"What?"

"I just want to ask you one thing. If Liu Xixi's mother is watching, would you flirt with her daughter?"

Peng Yuyan shook his head: "No."

"That's right, they have the courage and you don't, so why are you envious?" Wang Lujiang advised as a person with experience.

"Well, I really won't, because I think Aunt Liu is still charming."

Wang Lujiang: You TM... seem to have some truth in what you said.

The taste of Chen Zihan, the elder sister whom Peng Yuyan and Zhang Yuan met in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", is exactly the opposite.

Sister Chen likes to eat young grass, while Peng Yuyan likes older girls.

Just look at the women he's had scandals with.

Shu Qi, Xu Qing, Jolin Tsai, Yu Feihong, Zhang Junning... none of them are younger than him.

This guy loves to hold gold bricks.

After all, old aunts and older sisters know how to care for people, unlike little girls who are emotionally unstable and prone to throwing tantrums.

Besides, he has reasons to like older ladies, because he also comes from a single-parent family and has lived with his mother since he was a child.

Besides my mother, there are a bunch of aunts around me. I have learned a lot from them, so I naturally understand the charm of mature women...

Therefore, Zhang Yuan only wanted Aunt Liu to be his mother-in-law, but this guy was even bolder and wanted to treat her as his baby.

If this really happened, Zhang Yuan would feel very embarrassed every time he met him in the future.

I call you brother, you call me dad, we each have our own way...

On the other side, inside a KFC near Hengdian.

Four young actors in hats and cats at a small table near a trash can.

Several of them are now somewhat famous and are afraid of being recognized.

"Cock, my cock..." Liu Qianqian held a piece of spicy chicken wings with tears in her eyes.

I've never been this excited when filming crying scenes.

Since leaving the crew of "The Story of a Noble Family", she hasn't eaten fried chicken much because her mother doesn't allow her to.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the three girls in front of him, each with a different expression.

Apart from Liu Xixi's lucky break, Liu Pinyan was eating as hard as he could, as if he was eating his enemy.

"Zhang Yuan's treat."

"He caused me to lose the second female lead, I'm going to bankrupt him!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Liu Pinyan heard from others that the role replacement was done by Zhang Yuan.

An Yixuan, on the other hand, had no appetite at all and looked very worried.

Firstly, her family has plenty of money, and her family members don't restrict food and drink like Liu Xiaoli does, so they have no interest in this kind of food.

Secondly, my acting has been going less and less smoothly recently and I’m in a bad mood.

"Pfft..." Liu Pinyan finished a pile of chicken wings in a few minutes and spat out the bones. "My chicken!" Liu Qianqian just finished chewing one and found that the food in front of her was gone.

"Okay, okay, I'll go buy some more." Zhang Yuan stood up helplessly.

As soon as he left, Liu Pinyan came up to Liu Xixi and said, "Sister Xixi, you said Zhang Yuan invited us to a big dinner, and we're going to eat this?"

"Your standard for a good meal is too low." An Yixuan held up her chin and replied, "At least it has to be French or high-end Japanese food to be called a good meal."

Girls from Taiwan were one level ahead and were much more materialistic than girls from mainland China back then. But later on, we caught up and were even showing signs of surpassing them.

Xixi ate her food steadily and replied word by word: "What I like is a big meal."

An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan looked at each other and shrugged.

At the same time, in Cai Yinong’s hotel room.

Director Wu Jingyuan and Boss Cai got together to discuss crew matters.

Ever since the second and third female characters switched roles, Boss Cai has been supervising on site and has not left.

"Jinyuan, it seems that the filming these days is not as smooth as we imagined." Boss Cai said.

"Yes, I thought that everything would be fine after replacing An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan." Director Wu replied depressedly.

"Now, the performance of this little girl Liu Pinyan is quite good. Her personality fits the role very well and she acts very smoothly."

"But there are some problems with An Yixuan's performance." Director Wu kept scratching his head, and his already thin hair became visibly thinner.

"She doesn't seem to understand the pain of secretly liking someone but not being able to love them, and it's hard for her to express it."

Aunt Cai looked worried, then picked up her cell phone and called her partner Li Guoli.

"Director Li..."

When I told him about it, he reacted immediately.

"Insufficient social experience, and not enough life experience to support it."

His evaluation was exactly the same as Zhang Yuan's idea.

"Director Li, you are very experienced and training actors is your strong point. How about you come to the set and think of a solution?"

Boss Cai is a person who does things in a good and bad way.

The good thing is that she is very persistent and wants to do every movie well.

The bad thing is that she is too persistent and entangled in every play, so her output is not high.

It can be seen from Tangren’s financial reports in later generations that this is a company with high valuation and low annual revenue.

The company's total value exceeds 30 billion, but its annual revenue is less than one percent of its valuation.

The reason for this phenomenon is that her output is too low.

How can such a big company have high revenue when they only produce two movies a year on average?

There are many up-and-coming companies in later generations, such as New Classics Media and Joy Media, which produce at least four to five films a year.

Moreover, The Legend of Sword and Fairy was Tangren's only work in 04, so Boss Cai naturally took it very seriously.

She is anxious!

After hesitating, Li Guoli gave a negative answer.

"I have some work in Hong Kong and cannot spare the time for now, and the director and actors must communicate on the spot."

"The earliest we can come to Hengdian is a week later."

Hiss...Boss Cai is worried.

At this moment, Li Guoli on the other end of the phone suddenly had an idea and chuckled.

"Yinong, you are confused."

"Zhang Yuan mentioned the role change, right?"

"Yes."

"He is a man of his own ideas. You should ask him if he can untie the bell."

Last time, Boss Cai had been nagging him for a long time about changing roles, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Always mentioning it in front of him...

"Wouldn't it be better if I had listened to Zhang Yuan earlier..."

Row.

Now that we are in trouble, we can just go find him.

Director Li knew that training actors was not only laborious but also time-consuming. Even if Zhang Yuan was extremely capable, it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around within a few days.

A week later I took action myself and accomplished what he couldn't.

In this way, I can save my face.

"Oh, that's right." Boss Cai also thought it made sense.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he called Zhang Yuan.

At this time, Zhang Yuan and the three girls were still eating.

Liu Pinyan unbuckled his belt and loosened it two notches to let his round belly stretch freely, preparing to continue eating and eat Zhang Yuan, the bad guy who caused him to lose his role.

Liu Qianqian stared at the food in Zhang Yuan's hand. She would grab whatever he ate, because it tasted better when he grabbed it.

An Yixuan, on the other hand, was still frowning. She ate almost nothing and just sipped her Coke with a pouty mouth.

drop by drop...

The cell phone rings,

When he saw it was Boss Cai calling, he picked up the phone without hesitation.

When Boss Cai told Zhang Yuan about the matter, he thought that Zhang Yuan would think or hesitate for a while, but he didn't expect...

"Okay, I'll do it, but you have to cooperate with me."

She didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would be so straightforward.

Putting down his phone, he placed his hand in front of An Yixuan who was in a daze and shook it.

"Hey, my Miss Yueru."

"Ah..." Miss An came back to her senses: "What's wrong? I don't want to eat. You guys eat it."

"I didn't mention dinner." Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Come to my room tonight."

Liu Qianqian: !!!

Liu Pinyan: !!!

"Zhang Yuan, what are you going to do..."

An Yixuan looked at Zhang Yuan's face carefully at this moment.

He has delicate eyebrows, sharp features, and bright eyes. Overall, he is quite handsome.

"It's not impossible..." An Yixuan thought.

"Zhang Yuan, what are you going to do to my sister Yixuan?" Liu Pinyan grinned, acted like a puppy protecting its master, and hugged Lin Yueru.

Although she changed her role, she had no opinion about An Yixuan and they still had a good relationship.

"Hmph, I'm going back first..." Liu Qianqian patted the food crumbs on her hands and was about to leave with a stern face.

"Don't go, come to my room together later." Zhang Yuan looked at the three girls one by one.

what?
The three of them said in unison.

"Zhang Yuan, you don't want the three of us to be together..." An Yixuan hugged his shoulders, finding it hard to accept for a moment.

"Even if you look handsome, you can't play like this."

"Yes, let's listen to music together."

"Listen to music?" the three of them asked in unison again.

After dinner, in the hotel, in Zhang Yuan’s room.

After the doorbell rang, Zhang Yuan went forward to open the door, and three beautiful heads popped in from the crack of the door from top to bottom.

"What are you doing? There's no one inside."

The three of them then went into the house and looked around.

“The room was clean and odorless.”

“It’s really clean.”

Zhang Yuan chuckled in his heart. We men are not like you, who only care about clothes and cosmetics.

And he never smokes in the room, so there is naturally no odor.

"Zhang Yuan, why is there a box of tissues on your bedside?" Xixi asked curiously.

An Yixuan blushed and pulled her arm.

The three girls sat in a row on the sofa, and Zhang Yuan poured juice for them one by one.

At the same time, I took out a Sony MD and a pair of flat-head earphones.

This Sony MZ-N1 was a high-end product at the time, and could be connected to a computer to directly transfer music files.

What Zhang Yuan asked Boss Cai to do just now was to ask Baodao's music production team for Lin Yueru's character song.

In those days, unlike later times, a song was finished in just a few seconds.

It took a lot of effort to get it, and it's not the final version. Many background instruments have no synthesis added, only the simplest vocals and guitar accompaniment.

"Come on, you guys..."

"Let me listen first!" Liu Pinyan is a curious baby on weekdays, and she is also a member of a singing group and is most interested in music.

"Okay, you try one by one."

"What's the name of this song?" Liu Qianqian asked curiously.

Zhang Yuan was a little sad, and replied calmly: "Always Very Quiet..." (End of this chapter)
