"The movie is called "Qinghong"..."

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard the title of the film coming out of the charming woman sitting opposite him.

"No wonder she said she helped Liu Xixi promote this film."

Zhang Yuan smiled secretly in his heart. After all, she was a mother and she couldn’t let her own daughter suffer any loss.

In "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian only filmed a scene of kissing on the cheek, but Liu Xiaoli stared at her with a fierce look, fearing that he would take advantage of her.

Whether it was "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" or "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", her daughter was filmed "half-naked"... the so-called half-naked was actually wearing a tube top, but she was still very nervous to show her white shoulders.

If even this is stressful, then "Qinghong" is even more so.

After all, the heroine of this movie has a passionate scene. To be precise, it is more passionate than the average passionate scene. It is a rape scene.

Liu Qianqian is usually very aggressive in private, but even a kiss on the cheek makes her blush. How could you let her act in a rape scene?
She can't act, and her mother won't let her.

Zhang Yuan pondered.

With my current connections and abilities, it is not impossible for me to act in a movie.

But if you want to play the leading role, that's difficult.

Like the directors Stephen Chow and Feng Zhiyao that I have met, if I want to be the leading actor in their films... it has been difficult in recent years, and the most I can play is a major supporting role.

Those who can play the leading roles in these two films are either artists under their own companies, or veterans in the circle, and true masters with at least more than ten years of acting experience.

I am not involved in it either, so it is difficult.

But "Qinghong" is different.

Although it is a low-budget art film, the director Wang Xiaoshuai still has some talent.

Also, because it is a low-budget film, I have the opportunity to play the leading role.

Besides, if I remember correctly, this film won an award at Cannes, so it is significant enough to be considered a masterpiece.

An actor's value is divided into commercial value and professional value.

Some people have great commercial value but very poor professional abilities.

For example... there are too many to list.

Some people have extremely high professional abilities, but little commercial value.

For example, Li Xuejian, Fan Wei, Li Youbin...

The most ideal situation, of course, is to grasp it with both hands and make both hands strong.

"Okay, I'll help you think of a solution."

Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised, but Zhang Yuan agreed quite readily.

She also thought that even if she was willing to offer a film contract, the other party would still ask for more.

She thought that the conversation would probably take a long time.

"Let's put things in order, do things without hesitation, and be decisive like a big shot." Aunt Liu thought to herself.

After leaving Liu Xiaoli's room, Zhang Yuan did not stop and went straight to Cai Yinong's room.

Arriving at the door, Zhang Yuan raised his hand to knock and opened his mouth to shout.

"Cai Yinong, fuck... No, I just said it casually."

"Mr. Cai, are you there?"

Boss Cai was looking at the report again. When he heard Zhang Yuan knocking on the door, his hands shook.

"What's your business?"

"Is there something wrong with your senior sister again?"

She was also very panicked.

After all, Zhang Yuan's physical "breaking into the house" that day left her with an indelible psychological trauma.

"My senior sister is fine." After saying that, Zhang Yuan clicked his lips, savoring the memory.

"I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Cai Yinong carefully opened the door a crack and poked one eye out.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan was smiling and didn't look like he was about to get angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm scared..." Zhang Yuan thought to himself. It seems that what he did that day was quite effective.

After entering the house, Boss Cai politely wanted to make tea, but was rejected.

I drank a lot at Liu Xiaoli's place, and if I drink more I will be able to perform "Speaking Lotus Flowers".

"Don't be so rigid about our relationship. Tell me what's going on."

To be honest, apart from his outburst of rage that day, Boss Cai was 100% satisfied with Zhang Yuan.

He has good acting skills, works seriously and is extremely efficient.

Moreover, with him around, the team has strong cohesion and never forms cliques or small organizations.

Such outstanding young actors are hard to find outside.

"Our crew will be filming at both ends these days. Is everything going well?"

Boss Cai knew that he was talking about Jiang Xin.

Because Jiang Xin had to run between two crews, her schedule was very tight, so the crew opened a separate line for her to shoot only her scenes, just to save time.

Cai Yinong thought that Zhang Yuan came to care about his friend, or that Jiang Xin had encountered some unspeakable difficulties and needed him to speak up.

Little did she know that this was just Zhang Yuan's way of opening the topic and setting a trap for her.

"It went smoothly. Jiang Xin performed very well. She is very talented."

"Although she doesn't have a background from a few major colleges, she is not inferior to those who have graduated from professional schools."

Boss Cai was looking at him when he said this. Zhang Yuan understood that he was not a professional either, and the other party was using Jiang Xin to praise himself.

After all, he is the boss, so he tends to speak in a roundabout way.

But what Boss Cai said is indeed correct. Although Jiang Xin is not very smart and has a bad mouth, her acting talent is really good.

Take the later "The Legend of Zhen Huan" for example. She played the role of Shi Lan that year. She was cunning, foolish, strong, and bad... No one else could play the role well, because they didn't have her flavor.

"As long as everything goes well, it seems like it's not impossible for an actor to work for two crews."

"That's right. Thanks to you, Dragon Ticket didn't make things difficult for us or make any changes to the contract." Boss Cai smiled gratefully.

"We are all friends, so we should help each other." Zhang Yuan gradually led the topic to that end: "Leave some room for each other so that we can meet again in the future."

"Yes, if they need help in the future, we can lend them people." Boss Cai replied with a big laugh.

"Are you not afraid of affecting the filming?"

"There is always a way to solve it. Roads are walked on by people." Boss Cai said generously.

"That's good." Zhang Yuan also smiled in response, and then said: "Then don't wait until later, I just want to borrow someone now."

"Ah, who is it?" A group of actors flashed through Boss Cai's mind.

Hugo?

Sun Li?

"Liu Qianqian."

puff!
Boss Cai spat out a mouthful of tea.

No.

If you want to borrow someone, lend him to the aorta!

Liu Qianqian is the leading female role.

Why don't you lend yourself away?
"Mr. Cai, please be careful when drinking water." Zhang Yuan hurriedly handed over a tissue with a smile.

"No!" After Cai Yinong recovered from her shock, she flatly refused.

"How can we shoot our scene if she's not here?" she said angrily.

"There is always a way to solve it. People always walk on this road."

Cai Yinong: …

This sounds familiar, as if I just said it.

Boss Cai felt uncomfortable because his own words blocked his way.

"You Jianming wants to borrow Liu Qianqian to film a movie?"

Cai Yinong thought, Jiang Xin was only playing a supporting role, but the other party wanted to borrow the leading role, wouldn't she be at a big loss?

"It's not You Jianming, the person who borrowed it is a little more senior." "More senior than Boss You, who is it?"

"Han Sanpin."

"I..." Boss Cai opened his mouth. It's just a little bit bigger!
Zhang Yuan just opened his mouth and put the biggest one in front.

"What is he going to do?"

"If I want Liu Xixi to play the leading female role in a movie, I have to go to Taiwan. It doesn't take long, only 15 days."

Phew... 15 days is not that long.

But if the leading actress leaves the crew, how can we continue filming this drama?

Of course Zhang Yuan guessed his concerns and had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Mr. Cai, after observing for these days, I discovered something."

"Liu Pinyan and Liu Qianqian, besides being from the same family, are similar in height, build, age, and even profile."

"Especially when viewed from the side and back, both of them have chubby faces, and it's almost impossible to tell them apart if you're not familiar with them."

Zhang Yuan was not talking nonsense. First of all, they are both around 170cm tall, and they were almost the same height when they wore ancient costumes on the set.

As for figure... Actually, although Liu Pinyan is young, he is better. At least he is not stingy with the weight gain.

"It seems so..." Cai Yinong recalled and agreed.

"How about this, let her change into Zhao Linger's costume, and let her be a stand-in when Liu Qianqian is not around, and act opposite me, and only shoot my part."

"The rest can be taken again when Liu Xixi comes back. This way, the loss will be minimal."

The consideration is thoughtful and feasible, but... Boss Cai is still unwilling.

No businessman wants to sacrifice himself for the benefit of others.

Zhang Yuan sighed and could only use his killer move that he had never used before.

"Mr. Cai, since the establishment of the "Xianjian" project, I have never made any requests to you."

"Although I am an investor, I also participated in auditions and never missed any time to film or do anything else."

Cai Yinong nodded, Zhang Yuan said exactly what he said.

Not only did he never act like an investor, he also helped the crew a lot.

"This is the first time I make a request to you as an investor."

The other party has said so, what else can she do.

"I have a question. If you answer it, I will agree."

"Why did you do that?"

Zhang Yuan frankly stated the conditions that Liu Xiaoli gave him.

"Oh, that's right." Cai Yinong smiled with relief: "Equivalent exchange is pretty good, it suits your personality."

She had seen Liu Qianqian and Zhang Yuan quarreling these days, and she thought Zhang Yuan was in love.

She actually hoped that Zhang Yuan was in love, because that way he would be much easier to deal with, at least he would have an obvious weak spot, but unfortunately he was not.

After leaving Boss Cai's room, he conveyed the message to Liu Xiaoli.

"You agree now?"

Aunt Liu was very surprised and looked at the Cartier on her wrist.

"It's only an hour away from me."

"Sure enough, it's right to ask him for this matter."

"Because after thinking about it, it seems that no one else can do it."

"I just didn't expect that he could get the other party to agree so quickly."

[Received thanks from Liu Xiaoli, dance foundation +1, temperament +1, figure +1, anti-aging +1! ]

"Thank you. I will fulfill my promise to you. Don't worry."

A few days later, after some preparation, Liu Qianqian said goodbye to her colleagues in the crew and was about to embark on a two-week trip to Taiwan.

She was extremely excited about this.

Because she had never been to Taiwan before, although she was going there for work, she also wanted to travel.

"Goodbye, Sister Yixuan."

"Bye, Sister Pinyan."

He greeted Peng Yuyan, Wang Lujiang, Jiang Xin, Hu Ge and others one by one, but when he looked at Zhang Yuan, he deliberately suppressed his smile, shook his hair, turned around and walked away in a petty manner.

"Hey, Xixi..." Liu Xiaoli wanted to say something to her when she saw this, but she had to say goodbye to others first.

"Zhang Yuan, see you later." She even chatted with Zhang Yuan for a few more words.

On the side, Liu Xixi was taking care of things with her two military advisors.

"We must unite as an 'anti-Zhang Yuan alliance'. You are not allowed to pay attention to him when I'm not around."

"Oh, I see." Liu Pinyan was about the same age as her, but not as intelligent as her, so she immediately agreed excitedly.

An Yixuan doted on them both and agreed reluctantly.

Turning back to wave hello and goodbye to everyone again, Liu Qianqian discovered that Zhang Yuan was waving at her with a normal expression, just like everyone else.

She pouted, turned around and walked away quickly.

We took a car all the way to the airport and boarded a plane to Taiwan.

Leaning against the porthole, she closed her eyes and planned to take a nap to suppress her bad mood after waking up.

"Xixi." At this time, Liu Xiaoli pushed her.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"Be more polite to Zhang Yuan in the future and don't be so cold to him all the time." Liu Xiaoli was not around during that time and didn't know why her daughter suddenly became like this.

"Mom, didn't you always tell me to keep a proper distance from him? Why did you change your mind again?"

Liu Qianqian was also puzzled.

You don't let me go when I'm close to you, and you don't let me go when I'm far away from you either. It's so annoying.

"How can you be so ignorant, girl? I said keep your distance because I'm afraid someone else will take advantage of you."

"I asked you to be polite to him in order to maintain our friendship."

"Besides, he helped coordinate with the crew to allow you to act in the movie this time."

"Ah!" Liu Qianqian's head was buzzing: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I don't want his help."

"If I had known I wouldn't have gone." She said angrily again.

Liu Xiaoli asked in confusion and nervousness: "What did he do to you?"

"Could it be... that he didn't..."

"Nothing?" Liu Qianqian showed a silly and cute expression.

"I didn't touch, fondle, or come into contact with you, did I?" Liu Xiaoli couldn't find the right words.

Liu Qianqian thought for a long time, then her face turned red: "Mom, you are annoying, what nonsense are you talking about."

"That's good……"

Xixi put on headphones to block out all the noise from the outside world and played the music that she had prepared to listen to on the road.

After hearing the song "Always Quiet" from Zhang Yuan, she liked the singer Asan very much and subsequently downloaded all her songs.

At this moment, a melodious and slightly sad voice came from her headphones.

Asan sang her famous song "Leaf" in her ear.

"I eat alone, travel alone, and stop here and there."

"I also read books, wrote letters, and talked to myself."

"It's just that my heart has drifted to another place."

“Even I can’t see clearly.”

"I think I've lost more than just you..."

A trace of melancholy crept up her eyebrows as the song played, and together they headed to the unfamiliar land of Treasure Island... (End of this chapter)
