"and many more!"
Inside the hotel, Zhang Yuan stopped Brother Hua who was about to make progress.
He lived in the room at the end of the corridor, and Brother Hua lived not far from him.
Logically speaking, with Liu Dehua's status, he could easily request a presidential suite, and the crew would ensure that the arrangements were clear.
But what he lived in was actually just an ordinary suite, not much bigger than a standard room.
The reason for doing this was, firstly, that he was not particular, and secondly, he asked the crew to directly cash in the extra accommodation.
He does this not because he is stingy or greedy for money.
After all, it was all because of the “Asian Rising Star Director” project.
He personally invested more than 1000 million yuan in this project. Where did the money come from?
It can only come from the filming crew.
For every drama, he would increase his salary by one or two million. He always worked for big crews, so they couldn't afford the extra money.
The same goes for A World Without Thieves, which gave Brother Hua 700 million, including part of the discounted accommodation expenses.
He thought it was a good idea to suffer a little loss himself, help newcomers, cultivate some talents for the entertainment industry, and also cultivate some successors for himself.
But I overlooked one point.
He is Liu Dehua!
Zhang Yuan put his index finger in front of his mouth, making a gesture to keep quiet. Brother Hua was an old hand and immediately understood what he meant.
He went forward to check for himself, and sure enough, he was not mistaken.
The door lock of Brother Hua's room showed signs of having been pried open.
"The technique is not professional at all. There are scars all over." Zhang Yuan said disdainfully.
I hate people with no technical skills the most.
After learning the true skills from Huang Quezi, Zhang Yuan's "taste" in opening doors and locking them improved dramatically.
"Room card." Zhang Yuan said softly, "Open the door."
Brother Hua looked serious, but still did as he was told.
drop!
After a slight sound, the door was opened.
Zhang Yuan took the room card and entered the room as usual. He inserted the card to turn on the electricity and the room immediately became bright.
His ears moved and he looked at the furnishings in the room again.
Curtains, toilets, wardrobes, under the bed...
"Brother Hua, let's rehearse tomorrow's scene." Zhang Yuan suddenly said.
Brother Hua was slightly stunned, and then immediately responded: "Okay, let's study a few ways to perform and let the director choose tomorrow."
The reaction is really fast!
Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
"There's no room in the room, why don't we go to the hotel lobby."
"it is good."
The two of them left the room.
I went into the house just now because the two people were making noises outside, and if I didn't open the door, I would alert them.
Now that you have stepped out, you can get help.
"What's the matter?" Brother Hua asked calmly with a serious look in his eyes.
"There's someone under the bed."
"what!"
"I guess he's not a thief or a kidnapper."
The traces of unlocking just now were too amateurish, and it was obvious that no professional tools were used.
That means it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Thieves have tools and kidnappers plan ahead, but it's clear that this is neither of those things.
Zhang Yuan thought, in all likelihood, this must be a "private fan"!
After calling the police, finding the bodyguard, assistant, and crew security all arrived, he entered the house again.
Sure enough, someone was pulled out from under the bed.
A young woman with disheveled hair.
"Hua Zai, I love you!"
"I love you!"
The two policemen almost couldn't hold him down, but he was still howling.
Brother Hua lived in a regular suite with only one bed, so his bodyguards and assistants stayed in other rooms.
Here comes the downside of saving money.
Liu Dehua looked serious and shook his head helplessly.
Even though he was so knowledgeable, he was still shocked.
The key is fear!
If Zhang Yuan hadn't been there and discovered it in advance, and I had just taken a shower and was lying in bed, and this guy had come out in the middle of the night... wouldn't I have been scared to death?
Besides, if he is carrying a weapon, I will be doomed!
I can't think about it. Thinking about these horrific possibilities makes my whole body tense up.
[Received thanks from Liu Dehua, singing +1, acting +1, anti-aging +1! ]
Brother Hua talked to him for a long time, thanked him repeatedly, and then stopped.
Zhang Yuan thought that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. A star of Brother Hua's level is really liked by everyone.
In later generations, there was another famous fan named Yang Lijuan.
In order to see Liu Dehua, he forced his parents to sell their house and even forced his father to sell his kidney. In the end, his old father jumped into the sea and committed suicide in despair.
This man's deeds were widely reported, and Brother Hua's reputation was greatly affected.
At this time, everyone in the entire crew knew about this incident. Everyone was silent and asked their assistants to check their rooms carefully.
Afraid of the same thing happening.
"Brother, this is so scary. What if someone is lying under my bed?" Wang Baoqiang also muttered.
Zhang Yuan: …
"Go back to your room, go into the bathroom, stand in front of the sink. There is a mirror there. Look at yourself carefully."
"Who the hell is lying under your bed?"
Brother Hua still moved to a larger suite and let his bodyguards live with him. The crew felt that they were in the wrong and did not mention the money.
Brother Hua also threw away all the clothes, pants, even underwear, toothbrushes and towels in his room.
Who knows what that crazy woman did?
Touching, rubbing, licking... maybe he even used those things to do things that made himself happy, who knows.
The next morning, Feng Yuanzheng and Fan Que, who had lost their memory due to the concentrated fire last night, learned about this.
They were very calm, knowing that no one would look for them and they were very safe.
But after hearing this, I was also deeply impressed by Zhang Yuan’s magic.
This can be discovered!
This incident is still fresh in their memory.
……
"Were the clouds that day expected?"
“That’s why my steps are light.”
"So as not to disturb our time."
"Because it is destined to be so little..."
Soon after, all the main actors and the film crew were present on the crew bus.
Apart from the noisy engine sounds and horn sounds outside the car, as well as the "concerned greetings" of the people of the imperial capital about the imperial capital's traffic, a melodious and silky, yet sad, female voice was floating in the car.
While rushing to the next filming location, Liu Ruoying took the music score and lyrics and sang the new song arranged for her by the crew.
This is the advantage of having singers act as actors.
Especially a famous singer like Rene Liu.
Such requirements are usually written into the contract.
Zhang Yuan knew that the name of this song was "Do You Know?"
He vaguely remembered that when he watched this movie in his previous life, the song that played when Hua Ge's character Wang Bo died was Yang Kun's "That Day".
He felt a little sad, but didn't cry.
Only when he sang the song "Do You Know?", and when Wang Li sent the child to Labrang Monastery, his eyes became moist for some reason.
I don’t know if it’s because of the story or the song.
There is a form of folk song in northern Shaanxi called Xintianyou.
Based on Xintianyou, music master Liu Chi, who once created "Let's Row the Boat Together", created a song called "Flowers Blooming on the Cliff".
This is to praise the heroic fighting of Liu Zhidan, a Red Army cadre in Shaanxi-Gansu region, and the guerrillas he led.
A few years ago, Liu Zhidan was identified by the state as one of the 36 military strategists of the People's Liberation Army. His wife Tong Guirong also delivered a baby for a teacher's wife. His whole family are veteran revolutionaries.
The song "Do You Know?" that Milk Tea Sister was humming at this time was adapted from "Flowers Blooming on the Cliff".
The lyrics were rewritten by the well-known lyricist Yao Qian, who is also the lyricist of "Lubinghua" and has profound skills.
That’s why the lyrics of this adapted song are so sad, as if remembering old friends.
And the best thing about this new lyric is that you can use it to appropriately describe the remembrance of Comrade Liu Zhidan, the protagonist of the original song.
After all, the 33-year-old died on the battlefield.
There are actually two versions of this song, the movie version and the album version.
Liu Ruoying's album version of the song was redesigned to adopt the Okinawan folk style that was popular at the time.
But what’s more interesting is that Okinawa is part of the Ryukyu Islands, which has produced many good-looking island stars, including Yui Aragaki and Takeshi Kaneshiro.
However, Ryukyu is the most anti-Japanese region in the entire island nation. The people have been trying to break away from the control of the island nation and clamoring for independence all the time.
The people there are good-looking and have an average height of more than 1 meter, which is probably because the island nation's bloodline is rare.
The movie version of "Do You Know?" deliberately reduced the lyrics, and even let Milk Tea sing the beginning a cappella. It also added a large number of violins, cellos, pianos and other commonly used instruments in symphonies, making the arrangement more grand.
But singing is even more miserable.
Zhang Yuan prefers the movie version to the Japanese-style album version. "What's wrong?" Liu Ruoying asked when she saw Zhang Yuan leaning his head from the front row, resting his chin on the back of the chair and looking at her.
"Nothing, you sang very well."
"Thank you." Milk Tea Sister replied with a smile and then continued singing.
"When I miss you, oh, I look up and smile."
"Do you know or not..."
Listening to the song, there is always a feeling of sadness in my heart.
I seem to be very busy all the time and have no time to spend with those who love me and whom I love.
The crew didn't leave him much time for sadness.
Soon, the vehicle stopped in front of a restaurant called "Xiangnongshe".
We came here to shoot a very important scene in the play.
Eat roast duck!
But actually only Liu Ruoying and Zhang Hanyu participated in this scene, why did all the actors in the crew come?
Because Director Feng has always adhered to one principle.
That is: if you can't kill it, then kill it.
In this regard, he and Zhang Yuan are like-minded.
This place sponsored the crew, so the food is free. Why doesn't it bring the whole family along to try its luck?
The same is true why we don’t go to famous restaurants like Quanjude, Dadong, or Bianyifang to eat Peking duck.
If it meant money, Feng Xiaogang wouldn't have been able to bring so many people here.
In the imperial capital, roast duck is eaten in rolls, which are rolls wrapped in pancake skin.
When everyone in the crew sat down, Director Feng directly arranged a duck for each person...
What are you waiting for? Just create it!
Liu Ruoying was clapping on the other side, while Hua Ge, Ge You, Li Bingbing, Zhang Yuan, Feng Yuanzheng, Fan Qu, Wang Baoqiang and others were eating on this side.
Especially Baoqiang, his mouth was full of oil, and his eating manner was not much different from Wensan.
Seeing how enthusiastically he was eating, Brother Hua pushed all the duck in front of him to him.
Brother Hua is a vegetarian, but not a pure vegetarian, at least not now.
But today he didn't eat a single bite, not even a cucumber stick.
It’s all because of what happened yesterday that made him in a bad mood.
On the other side, Liu Ruoying was about to vomit.
"vomit!"
This shot was very important, so we shot it over and over again.
By the eighth time, she had eaten 17 rolls of roast duck.
And for the sake of authenticity, Milk Tea Sister went all out and ate all of it for real.
This stuff is greasy in the first place, and eating so much in a row will make you feel uncomfortable.
"Card!"
"You're still not in the right condition. Let's take a rest first."
"Eat some roast duck and take a break."
"Ugh!" Sister Milk Tea can't bear to hear the word roast duck now.
The character she plays at this moment, Wang Li, is already several months pregnant and her pregnancy is already obvious.
So I still have to carry a big belly.
"Oh, you guys are eating so happily, I'm almost exhausted."
Zhang Yuan saw her complaining while supporting her face with one hand with an expressionless face.
"what happened?"
"Director Feng kept saying that he was not in the right state, not in the right state."
“I don’t know what’s wrong.”
Zhang Yuan looked at the gentle and clean Liu Ruoying, then smiled.
"Milk tea sister."
"Ok?"
"Look at the way Baoqiang eats."
"Ah?" At this time, Wang Baoqiang had already started the journey of eating his second roast duck. The corners of his mouth were full of sweet bean sauce and there was a taste of green onions in his mouth.
"Hahaha, so cute." Liu Ruoying has always liked him and thinks he is natural, simple and unpretentious. In the final analysis, he is a sincere person.
Isn't it sincere?
He is so honest that even his bedmate cannot reveal any dirt on him.
"Actually, the way pregnant women eat doesn't look good either."
"After all, it's for dinner for two people."
"Hey." Teacher Fan, who was chewing slowly, also raised his head.
"That's right. When my wife was pregnant, she cried and asked for pork elbow in soy sauce in the middle of the night."
"In the end, I had no choice but to get up and do it. The food I ate wasn't much better than his."
When Teacher Fan mentioned his wife, his face was filled with happiness.
"Oh..." Liu Ruoying seemed to understand something.
After the break, Liu Ruoying returned to the camera again.
Before this, she designed this scene according to her understanding of the character and the previous plot.
The character of Wang Li is made gentle and polite. She eats roast duck quietly and listens to the police informing her of her lover's death. She then slowly sheds tears and pretends to have a breakdown.
But this time, after Zhang Yuan and Fanyue’s “suggestions”, she changed her mind.
Click!
Click!
Click!
She used the same method of eating roast duck as Wang Baoqiang AKA Wensan.
urgent!
He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to wrap the crust before putting it in his mouth.
There is no elegance.
Before he had even finished swallowing the food in his mouth, he started wrapping another pancake.
Not eating for yourself, but eating for the baby in your belly.
He even ate it for the dead Wang Bo.
With sweet noodle sauce smeared on the corners of his mouth, he picked up a roll and stuffed it into his mouth.
He stuffed it down with all his might, and managed to swallow the whole volume in one gulp.
At this moment, the reddening eyes finally burst into tears, and a line of clear tears slowly fell and hung on the cheeks that were constantly swollen from the desperate chewing of food.
"Were the clouds that day expected?"
“That’s why my steps are light.”
Zhang Yuan watched her performance and hummed softly.
"Bao Qiang."
"Ah?" Wang Baoqiang raised his head.
"Did you see that?" Zhang Yuan raised his chin towards Liu Ruoying who was not far away: "What a movie queen-level performance!"
……
After eating and finishing the filming, Zhang Yuan returned to the set with the crew.
After spending another two days to add a few more shots, his part was completed!
Because the crew had to rush to other locations for filming, including XZ, and time was tight, they did not arrange a wrap party for him.
“See you at the press conference later.”
"Come to Hong Kong to play later."
Brother Hua, Liu Ruoying, Ge You and others greeted him one by one and left their contact information.
"Brother, you have to leave." Baoqiang also had to go with the group.
These days, he has been relying on Zhang Yuan's protection, whether he is acting or communicating with others.
Now that the boss is leaving, he feels lost.
Before leaving, Li Bingbing, wearing a theatrical costume, also came up to him and gave him a tight hug.
Then he said in his ear.
"We'll meet in Huayi."
After saying that, she winked at him.
Zhang Yuan smiled at her but did not answer.
The crew was in the imperial capital, so he returned home quickly.
Looking at the tidy yard, Brother Qian must come to take care of it often.
In fact, he didn't have many scenes, and it only took about a month to shoot.
"I made a million in just over a month..."
Zhang Yuan thinks the actors' pay is scary.
When you can suddenly earn enough to buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in a month, most people would probably feel proud.
He rested for a long time on the lounge chair in the yard, planned for the future, and then picked up his mobile phone.
He broadcast a number.
The other party was Gao Hu, whom I had just met at the audition site of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" not long ago... (End of this chapter)
