In any small group, the person who controls the financial power always has more say.

Just like at home, parents can not only control their children through rewards or punishments, but also cause semi-permanent psychological trauma to their children by depriving them of their lucky money...

In the crew of "A World Without Thieves", Wang Zhonglei was the person who held the financial power at that time.

Of course, that was because his brother wasn't there.

But at least at this moment, he is the most powerful person in the entire crew, no doubt about it.

"Boss Wang, come over here and take a look."

"Mr. Wang, this is our train."

"Boss Wang, this is our rest area."

Feng Xiaogang led Wang Zhonglei, followed by a group of leading actors, and strolled around the entire set.

"Okay, you should pay more attention to the shooting and don't waste time entertaining me." Xiao Wang waved his hand, looking like I don't like this.

Zhang Yuan glanced at his phone and realized that he had been away for almost two hours, and now you are telling him not to waste time...

Take Huayi for example, these two people do things in an “old-fashioned” way, they look like leaders going to the countryside.

“Don’t engage in these formalities.”

"I'm just here to take a look."

"You are busy with your business."

"If you insist on me saying a few words... well, I'll say a few words."

Zhang Yuan: …

He had reason to suspect that Xiao Wang came here just for fun.

It was almost noon when the crew officially started filming.

Xiao Wang, served by several stage managers and the executive director, watched everyone perform.

This scene is performed by Ge You and Li Bingbing, with no other actors.

But because the boss was there, the others were tactful enough to stay by his side.

Don't hit the stupid or lazy ones, just hit the ones who lack tact.

Obviously, no one wants to be the one who is tactless.

Actors may have great success outside, but in front of these bosses, they are really begging on their knees.

Zhang Yuan was also among them. He glanced at the two superstars, Hua Ge and Liu Ruoying, and then looked at Xiao Wang who was sitting nearby and having his shoulders massaged.

“No matter how big an actor’s role is, he can only stand.”

“So if you want to sit, you can’t just be an actor.”

Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Uncle Ge who was acting.

This scene was his first scene, the one where he was slapped by Ge Da Ge.

Because Fatty and Four Eyes still "attacked" Sha Gen despite Uncle Li's order of "no hunting on this trip", and lost to Wang Bo, they were punished by Uncle Li.

Four Eyes was slapped in the face. Fatty, as the backbone, handed the cigar cutter to Uncle Li and pretended to let the other party cut off his fingers.

Fingers are the life of a thief and the breadwinner, which means that the other party will cripple you as a punishment.

The fat guy is fearless because he knows the other party won't do that. Otherwise, with his cowardly character, he would never do such a "righteous and lawful" thing.

In front of the camera, Uncle Ge, who was playing with a cigar cutter, came to the corridor outside the car, pulled open the curtains, and looked out the window... at the green screen.

The exterior of the car depends entirely on post-production.

Then, Li Bingbing, who had long burgundy hair, followed closely behind Uncle Li and gently climbed onto his shoulders as softly as a feather.

Uncle Ge also extended his hand ambiguously and placed it on Lao Li's hand.

Li Bingbing pretended to lean her head on the other person's back. The relationship between the two seemed unusual at first glance.

At this moment, Uncle Ge's eyes were blank, as if he was still recalling the scene of his two men acting secretly just now.

There was a hint of melancholy in the confusion in his eyes, but these were just protective colors. Inside, there was suppressed anger.

Just this one look can reflect the profound skills of Mr. Ge!

Zhang Yuan watched with great interest and was very convinced.

What is a master?
I turned around and glanced at Xiao Wang, but he didn't react at all and didn't understand at all.

At this time, Uncle Ge said.

“People’s hearts are scattered.” As he said this, he patted Li Bingbing’s hand dejectedly.

“It’s not easy to lead a team.”

Mr. Wang, who had a blank expression just now, suddenly changed his expression after hearing this line.

That look was even more exciting than Ge Da Ge’s performance just now.

That expression was more painful than eating mustard.

"Oh... hehe." Zhang Yuan remained calm upon seeing this, yet secretly laughed in his heart.

"When I heard this line, I thought of myself and Huayi."

People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team...

Now that Hua Jie's contract with Hua Yi is about to expire, her brother Da Wang has already held many negotiations with the other party.

But the conditions Sister Hua offered were all unacceptable to them.

What’s even more troublesome is that although Huayi Agency is a subsidiary of Huayi Film and Television, half of the company’s shares are in the hands of Wang Jinhua!

The actors under Huayi are basically all under the name of the agency.

And the most famous ones are all Hua Jie’s close friends.

Therefore, whether from a human or legal perspective, the two brothers of the Wang family were in a very passive situation.

And as Zhang Yuan said, these two are particularly "old-fashioned".

The so-called old-school still means hugging each other, or to put it bluntly, it is overbearing!
It’s as domineering as the old Hong Kong film and television companies!
Either a friend or an enemy, this is tyranny.

Either you are an enemy or you are a friend, this is the kingly way.

The two bosses of Huayi are obviously the former type.

Although he was born into a military family, he had read too few of the teacher's articles, so he didn't understand one thing.

"Make more friends and fewer enemies."

These two brothers had a cute falling out and got banned.

Now that they have met Sister Hua, who is not afraid of getting angry, the two brothers are extremely troubled.

"Well, it seems that the purpose of coming to the set today is to inspect the employees and see what the big star Li Bingbing means by doing."

"Except for her..."

Zhang Yuan glanced at everyone, then looked at Zhang Li, who was always prone to losing his temper.

"And him!"

Zhang Yuan remembered that besides Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Xia Yu, Ren Quan, Sister Hua also took away a number of big Hong Kong names.

But these are all actors. As for the director, Zhang Li also followed Sister Hua to join Orange Sky!
At the same time, it can be seen from these actors who have jumped ship that although Zhang Da Huzi is eating Ciwen's food, he has actually been secretly communicating with Hua Yi.

Hu Jun and Huang Xiaoming, the two leading male actors in Jin Yong dramas invested by Ciwen, were both decided by the bearded man. Later, both of them became Huayi's men.

This scene was shot five or six times.

The corners of Xiao Wang's mouth twitched five or six times.

Zhang Yuan also laughed secretly five or six times.

It seems that this matter has become a thorn in Xiao Wang's heart.

No, these are not lumps, but a bomb tied to the chest with an alarm clock ticking down on it.

Just say how annoying it is.

It was already noon when this scene was finished, but Xiao Wang still pretended to be very friendly and came to eat lunch with everyone.

As the saying goes: When leaders go to the countryside, they are served four dishes and one soup.

The food today is much better than usual.

But Xiao Wang only ate less than one-third of it before wiping his mouth and throwing it aside.

Zhang Yuan, Brother Hua and Bao Qiang all ate everything cleanly.

Several actresses and Ge Da Ge had some leftovers, but that was only because they had small appetites and needed to stay in shape.

Sure enough, once you become a boss, your feet are off the ground and you lose touch with reality.

In the afternoon, the scene still had to be filmed.

Xiao Wang was still on the set and didn't leave.

It seems that the pressure Wang Jinhua put on him was really great, so great that he had to take charge personally to stabilize the morale of the troops.

But Xiao Wang wasn't just laughing and joking. He visited the crew, greeted people and asked questions.

Asking about the actors' situation.

How did Li Bingbing perform?
How is Zhang Li?

What is Brother Hua like when acting?

Of course, he also asked about Zhang Yuan.

"How is his work status usually?"

"How's your acting?"

“How are your relationships with the other actors?”

Xiao Wang asked around, from the stage staff to the cameramen, from the props to the execution, from the extras to the supporting actors. All of them had very consistent and positive comments about Zhang Yuan.

"Wow." Xiao Wang is not a fool.

He knew that there were only two possibilities to receive such an evaluation.

One is really good performance.

One is to buy off everyone.

But no matter which one it is, it shows that this kid has outstanding abilities.

"Brother Hua and Liu Ruoying both spoke highly of him."

Xiao Wang thought about it and found “his own people”.

Li Bingbing!
"Zhang Yuan performed very well and has a talent for acting. He comes early and leaves late every day."

"I also helped stand in for Brother Hua when he was injured."

"Even when he was a stand-in, he performed exceptionally well."

When Li Bingbing said this, her mind was full of that intimate dance.

"Oh..." Xiao Wang thought to himself, Li Bingbing is Hua Yi's trump card, she shouldn't talk nonsense or lie to him.

So it seems that the boy is really capable.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan was still idle.

He is also very depressed.

"The boss came, but there was no chance for me to show my abilities."

Not long after, his chance to show off came.

"Now, I am willing to try the quality of that pair of mandarin ducks."

In front of the camera, it is still Ge Da Ge and Li Bingbing.

This scene is before the scene where Zhang Yuan was beaten, and it is the scene when Uncle Li’s gang just got on the train.

Fatty and Xiao Ye just had a "fight" and were stopped by Uncle Li.

After sending the fat guy away, Uncle Li started to get close to Xiao Ye.

At this moment, Li Bingbing was massaging Uncle Ge's shoulders.

The movements and posture are very skillful, and it is obvious that he has been pressed many times.

"What is the most important thing in the 21st century?" Uncle Ge closed his eyes and said slowly, "Master!"

"Card!"

Director Feng looked embarrassed and called for a stop.

"Yuko, this doesn't feel right. Please adjust the word order or state."

"Okay." Uncle Ge who was not drunk was just like Tang Monk at the end of "A Chinese Odyssey", speaking concisely and to the point.

"What is the most important thing in the 21st century?"

"Master."

This time his tone was much calmer, like an old Taoist giving a lecture to children.

"Card!"

"Still wrong."

Director Feng scratched his head.

I took several more shots, but none of them worked.

"Xiaogang, I tried my best." Uncle Ge said helplessly.

"Hiss...let me think about it."

"I think it might be because the words are not good. I feel uncomfortable reading it."

"It's possible, but how can we change it?"

"What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Technology!" Uncle Ge suggested.

"What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century, master?"

"No, no..."

The two of them studied it for a while, and even Xiao Wang felt strange. Why did it stop working?

So he walked forward to check.

"Hey, Xiaogang, do you remember the set of Cell Phone?"

"What's the matter?" Director Feng didn't respond.

"The first day that guy came, he helped us change a line of lyrics." Uncle Ge recalled: "It seemed to be Guoli's lyrics."

"Be a kind person!"

The two said in unison.

Director Feng immediately waved towards Zhang Yuan.

"Yuan, come here!"

Zhang Yuan pointed at himself and trotted forward.

"What's the matter?"

"There is a small problem with one of the words. Come and take a look."

Xiao Wang, who was joining in the fun, was quite surprised.

Are you going to change the lyrics, or change someone else's lyrics, but you brought this guy here?

interesting.

The man pricked up his ears with interest.

"What word?"

The director handed him the script. After Zhang Yuan glanced at it, his heart moved.

Then he narrowed his eyes and glanced silently at Wang Zhonglei who was nearby.

"Otherwise."

"Let's just keep it simple."

"What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?"

"Talent."

"Well... you can try." Director Feng looked at Ge You and nodded slightly.

"Uncle Ge, please try putting the emphasis on the last two words."

"Talent!"

"Talent!" Ge You tried several times in a row and had a rough idea in mind.

"You kept your eyes closed while you were speaking the words just now." Zhang Yuan suggested, "Why don't you try opening your eyes when you stress the last two words?"

"It expresses aggravation and distinction of emotions!" Uncle Ge is indeed a master and a top actor, he reacted immediately.

The camera turns on again.

Li Bingbing continued to rub Uncle Ge's shoulders.

"Now, I am willing to try the quality of that pair of mandarin ducks."

"What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?" Uncle Ge had been calmly enjoying it with his eyes closed, but at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing his domineering side.

"Talent!"

"Okay!" Feng Xiaogang shouted "Okay" before he even had time to say "Cut".

Then he turned and looked at Zhang Yuan.

"It's still up to you."

"It will go smoothly after this change."

"Yuko, adjust it and try again."

Xiao Wang didn't know much about filming, but even so, he could feel that Ge You's performance was obviously much better than before.

Combined with the reactions of the surrounding staff and Feng Xiaogang, he realized that the small changes made by Zhang Yuan were indeed helpful to the crew.

“He can even change the words.”

Xiao Wang glanced at Zhang Yuan, then looked at Ge You after he turned on the camera again.

"What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?"

"Talent."

These words were like a blue stamp from a pig farm, deeply engraved in Wang Zhonglei's heart and could not be erased.

"What is the most expensive thing... talent!"

He repeated it in his mind.

He looked at Zhang Yuan again.

"It can be performed and modified."

“Everyone in the crew spoke very highly of him.”

"It seems that he is a talented person!"

Huayi is now in the rising stage of its career, and what it lacks is talent! (End of this chapter)
