"Xixi, what are you doing with all the noise?"

In the room, Liu Qianqian hugged the pillow and kicked her feet on the bed, rolling around for a while. Then she got up with a red face. With a sweet heart as if coated with honey, she walked to the TV and continued to watch the CD that Zhang Yuan sent her.

But maybe it was because the noise was too loud, or maybe Liu Xiaoli was already suspicious of her daughter's strange expression after she received the express delivery, so she kept her ears pricked up.

After hearing the noise in his daughter's room, he hurried over and knocked on the door.

Crash, snap, click...

After Liu Xiaoli knocked on the door, she heard bursts of messy and anxious cleaning sounds coming from inside the house, as well as her daughter's panicked jumping, which made her even more suspicious.

how to say.

Liu Xiaoli was one of the few open-minded parents of that era.

The relationship between her and her daughter is 70% like mother and daughter, and 30% like friends. They can talk about almost anything on a daily basis.

Moreover, unlike many parents who try to force their children to grow too fast and only want to show off themselves, Liu Xiaoli actually never likes to be interviewed or appear in front of the camera.

The contradictions of human beings are vividly reflected in this person.

After marrying Lao An and having children, she chose to divorce because she was unwilling to give up her independent personality and career.

But when his daughter grew up, he was willing to give up his career and independent personality for her and always stay by her side.

After all, it is your own flesh and blood, conceived for ten months.

If your husband doesn’t love you anymore, you can divorce him, but you can’t force your daughter back, right?

There is no limit to my love for you.

Because of this, and because such a huge sacrifice was made for her daughter, she kept a closer eye on him.

Click!

A minute later, Liu Qianqian slowly opened the locked door.

"And the door is still locked..." Liu Xiaoli frowned.

Xixi usually doesn't lock the door because Liu Xiaoli respects her daughter's privacy very much. She always knocks on the door first and only opens the door to enter after the other party agrees.

This is in stark contrast to parents who deliberately broke the locks of their children's rooms or even replaced the walls with glass bricks in order to monitor their children at all times.

He looked up at his daughter.

The white and tender oval face is as red as fireworks, as if covered with a layer of sunset glow, and it is delicate and beautiful.

His hands were clenched tightly, his fingers twisted and tangled, and he was obviously nervous and guilty.

Glancing sideways at the bed, I saw the quilt and sheets were all in disarray, obviously someone had just rolled around on them.

Looking at the table again, besides the opened express package, there seemed to be an empty CD box.

"Just now I was outside the door, and I seemed to hear the sound of the TV, and there seemed to be...pa pa pa noises inside!"

Liu Xiaoli’s face turned pale!
Women of her age have experienced a lot and are no longer prone to blushing.

Her heart tightened, as her daughter is 16 years old this year, and is in puberty, the time when hormones are surging.

I locked the door and hid in the room. The bed was messy and there was a "bang bang bang" sound on the TV.

Could it be that she was secretly watching porn in the room?
Liu Xiaoli suddenly became anxious!
Both the An family and the Liu family are scholarly families and descendants of high-ranking officials.

How could I tolerate such a despicable thing happening to my daughter?

Without caring about privacy, Liu Xiaoli stepped into the house, turned on the TV and pressed the play button.

"Mom, what are you doing..." Liu Qianqian nervously ran to her mother's side.

“Pah pah pah pah…good!”

"Shut up!"

After the TV was turned on, the "pa pa pa" noise that she had heard before was immediately heard, but it was followed by cheers and boos.

"This Dumbledore has a gray beard and gray eyebrows, and he holds a cracked white cane in his hand..."

"Zhang Yuan?" When Liu Xiaoli saw him, her first reaction was, "He's also playing that role?"

If you look more closely, it seems like a story.

Oh, yes, he talked about the book before when he was working on "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

"Turns out it's a storytelling video..." Liu Xiaoli just breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Liu Qianqian, who had a shy look on her face.

"its not right!"

You blushed so much while reading a storytelling, and you were trying to cover it up. You lied to me that it was sent by Shu Chang, and you even locked the door and jumped on the bed!

Liu Xiaoli knew clearly that her daughter was not watching the storytelling, but the people!

Aunt Liu covered her face and said, "Looking at him is worse than watching a porn movie..."

……

Leaving aside the mother and daughter Liu, after Zhang Yuan finished straight-hook fishing for Liu Xixi, in addition to going to Guangde Building every day to tell stories and receive guidance from Mr. Yuan Kuocheng, he also took the time to contact He Jiong.

"Do you have time?" Teacher He, who was far away in southern Hunan, took advantage of the break in recording the program to chat with him.

"Yes, I just finished filming these few days and returned to the imperial capital."

Teacher He knew in his heart that the play he was talking about was "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" which had also invited him to audition.

Unfortunately, with him around, I had no chance, so I simply didn't go.

"You said before that your friend's small theater in the imperial capital was not doing well, so you asked me to go and help take a look..."

Teacher He Jiong thought to himself that this person was very thoughtful. He only mentioned it once, but he always took it to heart.

Nonsense, Zhang Yuan has already guessed that the friends and troupe that Teacher He mentioned are the "Happy Mahua" which will have a market value of over 50 billion in the future. How can he not take it seriously!

50 billion, 50 billion, you can’t spend it all in your lifetime…

"Okay, I'll go take a look. I'll do my best whether I can help or not." Zhang Yuan replied politely.

Teacher He felt warm in his heart. These were the right attitude to do things.

If he were to make a promise right away, he would feel uneasy.

[Received thanks from He Jiong, language talent +1, dialogue skills +1! ]

After getting the address from Teacher He and the other party contacting the theater staff in advance, Zhang Yuan rushed to the South Street near Zhongguancun in the HD district of the imperial capital.

Here stands a famous school with a long history.

Just like there are always five of the Four Heavenly Kings, there are actually four of the three major film and television schools in the imperial capital.

In addition to the National Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, and Beijing Dance Academy, which Zhang Yuan has already had contact with, the PLA Art Academy is the last piece of the puzzle.

Step into the campus.

The PLA Academy of Arts is a very special school.

No matter whether it is the National Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, or Beijing Dance Academy, no matter how powerful these three are, their direct superior is only the Ministry of Education.

The Military Art Academy is different. Its direct supervisory department is the Supreme Military Commission of China.

"The sentinels are sacred and must not be violated!"

This is the large sign hanging next to the gate of the PLA Academy of Arts. Just from these few words, one can tell that the atmosphere of this school is completely different from the style of the Central Academy of Drama and other schools that advocate freedom.

After graduating from here, you are first a soldier, and then an actor or other cultural worker.

Serious, calm, and solemn; this was the first impression that the Military Art Academy gave Zhang Yuan.

Arriving outside an old building with a vermilion gate and walls made of small white tiles, Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes to look.

"Old and young."

This was his first impression of the theater.

I strode in and took a few steps before I heard several quarrels coming from the not-so-wide stage.

"What's the point of continuing to act?"

"What do you mean, this is art!"

“Art doesn’t require eating?”

"Stop arguing, both of you."

Zhang Yuan did not go forward to disturb them, but crossed his arms and watched the show quietly in the shadows not far away.

"We started the company to make movies and TV series, not to perform in small theaters."

"now what?"

"The TV series and movies haven't been made, and the theater is about to collapse. What's the point?"

A young man with a crew cut said excitedly: "I want to live, too."

“Life is not only about poetry and distant places, but also about the present moment!”

"My request now is very simple. I will quit the company and you just need to return my investment money to me."

"Hehehe..." Zhang Yuan had excellent hearing and listened carefully.

He knew in his heart that these three should be "Happy Mahua". Oh no, the "Mahua" brand did not exist at that time.

Anyway, these three should be the founders of the company.

The three are Tian Youliang, Yu Kai and Zhang Chen. Yu Kai can write and edit, Tian Youliang can direct, and Zhang Chen can smooth things over...

Yu Kai graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University.

Tian Youliang was a top student at the Central Academy of Drama, and his classmates included Gong Li, Shi Ke, Jia Hongsheng and others.

Moreover, he stayed on to work at the school after graduation, and his students include Deng Chao, Zhu Yuchen, Liu Tianchi, Xin Baiqing, Liu Mintao and other famous actors in the future.

If these two are still related to film and television dramas, then the other partner Zhang Chen who likes to smooth things over is a complete layman.

He is a graduate of the Department of Architecture, and he founded a film and television company purely for investment and his own literary pursuits.

The three of them had a good idea. Director Tian took Yu Kai's novel and adapted it into a script. The three of them pooled their money together and planned to shoot a TV series called "The Difficult Love of a Bachelor."

Of course, the film never got made.

Because plans can’t keep up with changes, their filming plan started at the end of 03, and then…

Like many other crews, the force majeure brought by the flu made these three young people understand for the first time what natural disasters and man-made disasters are.

The one who is arguing with the two now is Director Tian.

This person is notoriously stubborn, and he is also unrestrained and freedom-loving.

This TV series was not filmed due to SARS, but he held back for nearly 20 years before finally finding investment to film it again, thus fulfilling his early wish.

This guy also loves rock and roll, traveling, and riding motorcycles and bicycles.

There is not a single hobby like this that doesn’t cost money.

He is now making a fuss about quitting. Not only did the TV series fail, but the box office was extremely poor when he switched to a drama, but he is also making a fuss because he lacks money to satisfy his hobbies.

These days he wants to buy a CANYON to travel around China. You can see how capable this guy is.

But the more he made noise, the happier Zhang Yuan became as he listened.

"Let's make a mess."

"Only when things get chaotic can I take advantage of the situation."

At the same time, he turned his gaze to another person on the stage.

He has fluffy short hair, is over 180cm tall and thin.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a straight nose.

His pointed chin brings out clear facial lines, which makes him look handsome while also giving him the fortitude and heroism that a soldier should have.

Zhang Yuan blinked hard and then rubbed it with his fingers.

"I never expected that this guy didn't say anything nonsense later."

Only then did he walk up to the man, whose white complexion was glowing under the stage lights and who was watching the quarrel between three people with a worried look on his face.

"Your name is Charlotte..."

Zhang Yuan almost blurted it out and sighed at the same time.

"Time is a fucking butcher's knife!"

How handsome he is now, how greasy he will be later...

This person is of course the third generation idol of the Military Art Academy, Shen Teng, who later ranked second on the total box office list of Chinese male stars.

It is said on the Internet that the PLA Art Academy has four generations of handsome boys.

actually not.

The first three are: the first generation, Hong Jiantao, who is the shopkeeper Qian in "Wulin Waijiao".

"Do you want me or this store? Do you want the store or me? It's up to you..."

Who would have thought that this fat man with a strong sense of comedy almost defeated Ouyang Fenqiang and played Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions".

The butcher knife of time killed him first.

The second generation, Nie Yuan’s archenemy, Teacher Sha Yi.

The butcher knife of time strikes again.

The third generation, Shen Teng.

Butcher knife: triple kill!

And why did Yang Yang, who was known as the fourth generation "Prince Duan", never get killed in later generations?
Because this guy didn't even graduate from the PLA Art Academy, but rather has a diploma from the Dance Department.

The first three are all undergraduates, only then they deserve to be called school idols.

What level are you? Why are you using the same butcher knife as me?

Although the butcher knife of time seems to have been left in the military art school, and he kills everyone who comes, he is just like Yan Liang, and does not kill unknown people, okay?

"Hello." He first extended his hand to Shen Teng, who still had a handsome appearance at that time.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then shook hands with him in confusion.

"Hello." He greeted the three again.

"You are..." Shen Teng's eyes froze, and then he said, "Are you Zhang Yuan?"

"It's down."

Shen Teng swallowed, then straightened his already straight back and smoothed his bangs.

When he saw the face, he remembered that this person had appeared in many TV series recently!

When I thought about the fact that I had graduated for more than half a year but had never acted in a film or TV series, and that my acting experience was almost zero except for small theaters, I felt restless.

Moreover, after meeting Zhang Yuan face to face, he found that his appearance, which he was proud of, didn't seem so outstanding in front of him.

"I have to avoid his edge!" Shen Teng thought.

That's why he hurriedly straightened himself up and fixed his hair.

Because he felt threatened and a little bit inferior.

"Oh, you were introduced by Teacher He, right? Nice to meet you!" Zhang Chen was not only good at smoothing things over, but also the best at saving face. He immediately greeted warmly.

"Let's sit down and talk." And invited him to the audience seat nearby.

The facilities of this theater are old, the space is not big, and there are even fewer seats than Guangde Building, only about 200 seats.

Except for Zhang Chen, the other two were still somewhat dissatisfied and angry about the argument just now.

"I heard from Teacher He that you have some experience in running small theaters?" Zhang Chen asked politely.

"I dare not say so. I have been working hard and have just started to make progress."

Afterwards, Zhang Yuan described how Deyuan Society went from being a crosstalk troupe that was harassed by hooligans every day, had an attendance rate of less than 10%, and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Up to now, we have two shows a day, with an average attendance rate of 80% or even higher. We have begun to expand profits and enter a virtuous cycle. I explained this to the other party in detail.

"Ah!" All three partners were shocked.

"In less than a year, it came back to life!"

Shen Teng on the side also looked Zhang Yuan carefully again, up and down.

Although he is just an actor, not the boss and has no shares, this is his first job after graduation and he has deep feelings for it.

"Yes, next we have to plan for staff expansion, as well as launching overseas tours and operating multiple theaters."

Gudong!

All four of them swallowed.

I'm jealous!
While our business is half-dying, others are preparing to expand their operations.

"Mr. Zhang, since you were able to revive a crosstalk troupe, it means you have experience in small theater performances."

"I hope you can give me some advice and point out a way for us here!"

Zhang Chen spoke sincerely, and it seemed that he really wanted to run this small theater troupe well.

"Your situation is very complicated, and it's different from my Deyuan Society."

Zhang Yuan stroked his chin and spoke cautiously.

He understood that at this time, just like when he first came into contact with Guo Degang, he had to proceed slowly and not rush in with a drastic move and act as if he was ready to eat someone.

You have to become friends first and gain their trust before you can subtly make the other person accept you and become a member.

When the three bosses heard him say this, their faces darkened.

I thought that this person was being very cautious and it seemed like he didn't want to help.

Could it be that there is no cure for our situation here?

At this moment, Zhang Yuan stretched out his finger and said at the same time.

"But I can see one small problem."

"Please speak!" Zhang Chen immediately raised his head and asked.

Zhang Yuan pointed directly at the handsome Shen Teng standing beside him and then spoke.

"This little problem is him!" (End of this chapter)
