Hotel, morning.
Pattering...
In the bathroom, Zhang Yuan turned off the faucet, dried his hair, and walked out.
Looking at the two torn costumes and the paper balls on the ground, he stretched his body.
"She's the one who plays crazily..."
That night, the Nine Yang Divine Art versus the Nine Yin True Essence, the two were evenly matched.
"Woo, you're up so early?" At this moment, hearing the noise, Teacher Jia, with messy hair, turned around lazily, and one of his long white legs stepped out from the quilt, with most of his snow-white buttocks exposed outside the quilt.
She is actually only 160cm tall, which is considered short among female stars.
There is no comparison with the new generation like Liu Qianqian and Liu Pinyan who are all 170cm tall.
But the good thing is that she has a very well-proportioned figure. She is not the type of person who is short in stature and has short arms and legs. If there is no comparison or if her height is not reported, most people would think she is at least 165cm tall.
And in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Gao Yuanyuan is actually only 165cm tall, but neither she nor Alyssa Chia looks short. The main contributor is actually Su Youpeng, because he is only 173cm tall, which makes the two girls look tall.
"Well, I still have to catch a flight back to the capital."
"Want to leave after eating everything?" Alyssa Chia yawned and said lazily.
"Who will eat whom?"
"Hehehe..." Teacher Jia was so happy that he looked like he had eaten a laughing gas.
"Okay, I won't keep you here either, as if no one wants you." Teacher Jia rolled his eyes at her, feeling a little empty inside.
She just didn't understand why Zhang Yuan had no emotional needs for her?
She didn't understand that a lover should be a playboy and a wife should be an honest one. This is Zhang Yuan's basic principle.
Otherwise, you will lose both your wealth and your life, and end up like Bao Qiang.
"By the way, Director Lai's new play, 'Emperor Qin Li Shimin', is about to start filming. He called me and asked me to go for an audition."
"are you going?"
Zhang Yuan knew about this play, and Lai Shuiqing not only invited Alyssa Chia, but also brought in several actresses from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", including Gao Yuanyuan and Chen Xiu Li who played Xiao Zhao.
Yan Qingyu, who played the Purple-Robed Dragon King, and Wang Gang, who played his "father" Song Yuanqiao, were also called in.
This drama is actually a counterpart to Nie Yuan and Huang Haibin's "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties".
However, because Lai Shuiqing was in full charge this time and Yang Tao had nothing to do with it, Director Lai didn't even contact me.
"He didn't look for me, forget it."
In fact, if he wanted to act, it would be very simple. He just had to mention it to Wu Dun last night, because he was the one who invested in this movie.
"I can help you carry it. Don't you want me to act with you?" After saying that, she raised her calf and hooked her toes towards Zhang Yuan.
You mastered the Nine Yang Magical Art in just one night. We've been filming together for several months. You want me to become a human being, right?
"By the way, I already have a boyfriend now, and maybe we're going to get married next year. How about it, is it exciting to do it behind someone's back?" This seductive woman, Alyssa Chia, continued to add to the pressure.
Zhang Yuan: …
You think I'm the prime minister, right?
I have to say that Alyssa Chia understands men.
But she didn't understand Zhang Yuan.
His fiancée attributes turned her from a lover into a troublesome lover, and he would not take such a risk.
For a public figure like an actor, he would never take the risk of ruining his reputation or career.
Besides, he knew that Teacher Jia's fiancé was not an ordinary person, and they would have a big fight in the future.
"If you had said this earlier, I wouldn't have let you in last night." Zhang Yuan complained.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a serious person." Alyssa Chia curled her lips and said helplessly with her chin in her hands.
Shouldn't most men be excited to hear this?
How come he is different from others?
Otherwise, it is said that the treasure island is too close to the island country and has learned bad things, and likes the feeling of immorality...
Zhang Yuan changed into clean clothes and made up his mind not to have any emotional connection with Alyssa Chia in the future.
But after thinking about it again, he reminded him because there was still some friendship between them.
"Sister Jingwen, if you get married, remember to protect your property."
"It's best to find a lawyer to notarize it before getting married."
"After all, we know a person's face but not his heart."
Mr. Sun was a Chinese American whose family was well-off. However, during the divorce, not only was he stingy, he also wanted to share Alyssa Chia's property. In the end, she suffered a huge loss before she was able to get out.
At the same time, this lawsuit will also affect her reputation and acting career. In short, it's a big loss.
"Why, you can't bear to leave me?" Teacher Jia thought he was jealous.
"Remember what I said." Zhang Yuan emphasized to her again.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's serious expression, Alyssa Chia was stunned for a few seconds, then she stopped talking nonsense, smiled and nodded slightly.
"Well, I see."
[Received thanks from Alyssa Chia, acting skills +1, appearance +1, golf basics +1! ]
"Before you leave, do you want to hurry up and have one more shot?" They had just been serious for less than half a minute when this guy narrowed his eyes in a coquettish manner.
Zhang Yuan quickly picked up the bucket and ran away.
In fact, whether it is Alyssa Chia or Liu Pinyan, Zhang Yuan always hopes that people with whom he has had interactions can live a better life.
At least I can try my best to help them avoid some pitfalls.
As for whether to listen or not, and what the consequences will be, it is not something you can control.
Just try to have a clear conscience.
"Ha..." Liu Xixi yawned all the way on the return flight.
"You didn't sleep last night?" Zhang Yuan asked.
"I didn't sleep well. I had a lot of dreams all night." Xixi smacked her lips and replied, "In my dream, it seemed that Nun Miejue and Zhang Sanfeng were fighting. They fought all night but no one was the winner."
Zhang Yuan: …
She seems to live next door to me.
"You should take a nap..." Zhang Yuan carefully retracted his head.
It was already noon when he returned to the imperial capital. After putting down his luggage in the courtyard, he went out again without even taking a short rest.
He had two purposes for going out this time.
Eat and find someone.
And these two things can be done together.
Take a bus to HD area, near Zengguang Road.
After getting off the car, an antique storefront immediately appeared in front of us.
Red door, red eaves, red threshold.
Right above the gate hangs a plaque with black background and gold characters, which reads "Haiwanju".
Zhang Yuan chuckled. This store looked antique and old-fashioned, but it was actually only founded in 99 and has not even been open for five years.
Looking at those three large characters written in a dragon and phoenix style, it can be seen that the owner of this store really knows how to do business.
Many of the plaques of old stores in the imperial capital were proposed by celebrities.
For example, when visiting a restaurant, you must check in and everyone will say a few words about "Fangshan", which is the calligraphy of Mr. Lao She.
The most famous pickle garden in the country is "Liubiju", and the plaque is the handwritten masterpiece of Yan Song, the Grand Lord Yan.
What about "Haiwanju"?
It imitated the name and words of Liubiju and disguised itself as an old store.
After all, this is a restaurant that sells snacks from the imperial capital, mainly serving noodles with soybean paste.
The imperial capital is known as a food desert. Just imagine how delicious the food here can be.
Zhang Yuan stepped forward, but before he entered the store, he caught a glimpse of two young figures in uniforms fighting on the nearby lawn.
"Wow, what a coincidence! The person I'm looking for shows up before I even enter the door."
He turned and walked toward the lawn.
The two men were not tall, one had a big round face and the other had a short flat head, both of them had their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to eat the other alive.
"Yue Longgang, let me go!" the short-haired guy yelled. "If you don't let me go, I'm going to hit you!"
"Let me tell you, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child."
The fat face was not convinced: "I'll take care of you!"
Just when the two men raised their fists and were about to swing at each other, they found that their arms were suddenly unable to move forward an inch. They couldn't retreat even if they wanted to, and they couldn't move at all.
Looking again, he saw that his two palms were resisting the attacks of the two men, holding their fists tightly like iron clamps, as steady as a rock.
The guy with the flat head is called Kong Deshui, and the guy with the chubby face is called Yue Longgang.
As Kong Deshui himself said, he practiced martial arts when he was young.
So, relying on his strong physique, he hardly fought back when he started fighting with the opponent.
Afraid of beating you to death!
Heroes break the law with force, and those who have practiced martial arts are all very proud, always feeling that ordinary people are nothing but cakes in front of them.
But now, when he found that his fist could not move forward or backward, he finally reacted.
"I met a master!"
Zhang Yuan used both hands to block the two fists, then pushed down with force, forcing both fists back to his legs.
The two were so shocked that they didn't react. They felt that their strength was just like a chicken in front of others.
At this time, Zhang Yuan slowly spoke.
"The two brothers are in a good mood, are you fighting for fun?"
"Brother!" Yue Long just raised his head and then let out a strange cry.
His accent is the same as Wang Baoqiang's, very heavy.
It’s just that Baoqiang has a Hebei accent, and he is from Henan.
"Why are you here?"
"Wow, wow, wow..." As he said this, the big fat face actually started crying.
"The last time we saw each other was more than two years ago."
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yueyue had only met once, which was on the night when the crew of "Conquer" celebrated their success.
That day, he and several other brothers from the crew helped the kid rescue from a group of thugs.
"I haven't seen you yet, I miss you so much!"
Kong Deshui on the side felt that something was not good.
If this expert recognizes the other person, then I'm in trouble.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. This guy is much smarter than Yue Longgang.
Otherwise he would be a doorman and Xiao Yue would only be a waiter.
He wanted to sneak away while the two were talking, but he found that Zhang Yuan did not let go and still clenched his fist tightly.
"It's over!" Kong Deshui cried in his heart.
"I've often seen you on TV in the past two years. I've watched all the TV series you've starred in, without missing a single episode." Xiao Yue was still crying, with tears and snot.
"It seems so..." Kong Deshui tilted his head back and realized that Zhang Yuan seemed to be an actor, and quite famous at that.
"He's a waiter, but he knows an actor?"
"do not Cry."
"Woooooooo..."
Snapped!
Zhang Yuan slapped Xiao Yue in the face. Xiao Yue covered his fat face, which was already big and became even bigger after being hit, and stopped crying instantly.
It's annoying to see a grown man crying.
"I came to you to introduce you to a job."
"And you." Zhang Yuan looked at Kong Deshui standing beside him: "You are quite energetic."
"It's a good material for crosstalk."
Kong Deshui was dumbfounded. What does being energetic have to do with crosstalk?
Half an hour later, Zhang Yuan was holding a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, and in front of him were some "authentic" snacks such as fried dough sticks, spicy tofu, fried sausage, and mustard dumplings.
"Brother, this is the capital's specialty, soy milk." Xiao Yue attentively held the tray and brought up a bowl of light green bubbling stuff.
"You want to poison me? Are you repaying kindness with evil?" Zhang Yuan pushed the soy milk aside with disgust.
Xiao Yue still has a conscience, as he paid for today's meal.
However, when I compared the snacks from Taiwan that I just tasted last night and then looked at this table of snacks from the imperial capital, I realized how miserable the people of the imperial capital are.
Why did Yue Longgang and Kong Deshui fight today?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The two of them disliked each other, and the doorman's salary was fifty more than that of the waiter.
Xiao Yue is not good at speaking and is narrow-minded.
Kong Deshui was good at talking and always insulted him, so after a while, they became enemies.
"Brother, I'm doing pretty well here. I make 800 a month including bonuses." The fat face said with a mean smile, "I don't understand what you mean by learning crosstalk."
"I just want to save money and send some back home."
Zhang Yuan knew that this man was very good to his family. After he became rich, he bought houses for all his sisters and brothers.
"How much does a foreman make in your place per month?"
"It's a lot, about 1800!" Xiao Yue replied enviously.
"It's like this. I now run a crosstalk club. Excluding my partners, the one with the highest income now makes 300 per show. I perform two shows a day, about 25 days a month."
"You calculate how much it is."
The little chubby boy counted on his fingers but couldn't figure it out for a long time.
Kong Deshui, who was smart but had been slacking off on the side, shouted in surprise while listening to the two people talking.
"I can make 15,000 yuan a month!"
"So many!" Upon hearing this number, Xiao Yue also screamed, scaring the diners around him.
Zhang Yuan was not talking nonsense. The person he was talking about was Brother Qian, and this was Brother Qian’s current income.
Now the attendance rate of Guangde Building is getting higher and higher, and Brother Qian’s income from the theater will continue to increase.
After all, no one can suffer loss except their own brothers.
This is considered a small amount. In future commercial performances, Brother Qian can earn tens of millions per show. That’s worth a thousand gold!
"Think about it yourselves," Zhang Yuan pointed at Kong Deshui, "They fought like that just for fifty bucks."
"For an income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, can you guys give it a try?"
The reason why Zhang Yuan came to the door specifically was to recruit these two people into his gang.
There are three reasons for this.
First, this guy, now called Kong Deshui, and later changed his stage name to Kong Yunlong, is considered a rare gem in the crosstalk world.
What makes him unique is not the large number of his works or their excellent level, but his tenacious vitality!
He crashed into a Xiali while riding a motorcycle and broke bones all over his body.
He was blown into the sky by fireworks and his face was disfigured.
While having supper, I got into a fight with someone at the table next to me. After the fight, I found out that the person opposite me was from the National Sanda Team and he was seriously injured.
With the things that happened to him, anyone who gets involved once will either die or be paralyzed.
But this guy is still full of energy and jumping around.
He had previously obtained a very rare attribute from Hugo, called "vitality".
It only took him three days to recover his physical strength on the set of "Kung Fu". Although it was helped by tonic medicine, it was also related to this attribute.
In addition, the last time he came back to Taiwan, he and Alyssa Chia only had the Five Blessings in one night, but this time they both had the Nine Yin Essence. What a wonderful attribute!
It seems that since Kong Deshui can always survive great disasters, his vitality should be no worse than Hu Ge's.
Secondly, although there have been many criticisms of Xiao Yueyue on the Internet in later generations, it cannot conceal his strong ability to make money.
At his peak, his annual income was even comparable to that of Brother Qian!
And among all the young generation of actors in Deyun Club, he is the only one who can achieve 100% positive returns from commercial performances.
If you can make money for yourself, why not?
Thirdly, he has a more important role for Zhang Yuan.
Because he didn't have time to stay in Deyuan Society for a long time to manage it.
And now that he has established an agency, one day he will bring all the high-value employees of the crosstalk club under his own company.
There will definitely be a lot of friction during this period.
Just like Brother Qian, he needs more key figures to side with him to consolidate his dominance.
And Xiao Yue is the nail he uses to drive a wedge into the crosstalk club! (End of this chapter)
