Chapter 305 Old acquaintance

On the set, Zhang Yuan was still soaking in the tub.

At his strong request, the crew finally found him a thick, dry towel.

He also found a locked suitcase, hid his clothes in it, and used an iron chain he got from cameraman Du Jie to lock the suitcase to the window frame nearby.

Who are you being so cautious about?
Isn’t it just to guard against that slut Bingbing!
So she wouldn't steal my clothes again.

However, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the tank, felt that Wang Jing's eyes looking at him seemed different from before, revealing a strange kind of appreciation.

It's not just him.

"Hello, Teacher Yuan Quan." Zhang Yuan, with his bare butt, waved to Teacher Yuan.

"Hello, hello...you have a nice figure." Yuan Quan replied with a smile.

Why does it feel like we are saying hello in a bathhouse?

At this time, she had already changed into her costume.

What do you say about this outfit?

The medium-short hair was tied up at the back of the head, with a full side bangs and a bunch of porcupine quills stuck in the bun.

A loose green coat with a purple patch on the shoulder.

This is still normal.

Looking down, there was a wide cowboy-style leather belt around her waist, and a short black floral skirt... the kind that just covered half of her thighs.

Pair it with a pair of leather boots.

Anyway, this style highlights the concept of "mix and match".

There are miniskirts and leather boots in costume dramas. Just tell me whether Wang Jing is a genius or not.

If any other person wore this outfit, it would have been ruined, but Yuan Quan managed to hold it together with her temperament.

Actually, to be honest, Fan Bingbing’s look as Tie Xinlan isn’t that great either.

Zhang Yuan has a good relationship with Fan Bingbing, so he has observed her from a close distance.

This guy has an advantage that will make most girls particularly envious.

hair!

Black, shiny, rough and smooth.

There is still a lot of hair.

Apart from her, the only woman Zhang Yuan had met who had hair quality and volume comparable to her was Liu Qianqian, who wanted to shave her head all the time.

But Sissi's hair is thinner, so the two are slightly different.

But Fan Bingbing's long, beautiful black hair was styled by the stylist into a middle-parted style that was close to her scalp in the film.

Obviously, this girl is most suitable for big wavy hairstyle because she has big wavy hair.

Like Yuan Quan, Fan Bingbing also relied on her temperament and appearance to suppress her makeup.
On the contrary, sister Yang Xue's several sets of makeup are very charming, whether it is a servant's makeup, a concubine's costume or the emperor's makeup after the rebellion, especially the forward air bangs, which are very suitable for her.

Otherwise, he would have survived to the end.

Yuan Quan is fine, as she has her part to play.

Fan Bingbing had nothing to do but stayed beside me and watched me take a bath.

No, Fan Bingbing is fine, but Sister Yang Xue, aren’t you an intellectual person?

Why are you joining in the fun, and why are you so shy...

Zhang Yuan always felt like he was a panda in the zoo and these people were just there to visit.

“I shouldn’t sell tickets…”

I ran around in the tank for the entire afternoon!

When he came out, he smelled like spices.

Not only that, the whole person not only became whiter, but also gained weight... and was swollen.

The palms were wrinkled like those of a newborn baby.

Since he didn't have any night scenes, the crew didn't provide him with lunch boxes.

"Let's go have dinner together."

He just wanted to find a small restaurant nearby to have a meal and order some dumplings and wontons.

When he is alone, he doesn't drink and eats simply.

Unlike Brother Qian, he would have two taels of liquor no matter what, and if there was no snack to go with the wine, he could just make do with a dish of soy sauce.

At this time, Fan Bingbing called him.

"Are you treating me to a treat?"

"Yes." Fan Ye's eyes were clear and she nodded slightly: "The food on the set is not tasty, and they treat us differently."

I originally thought that she would invite myself, or Yuan Quan and Yang Xue, her two elder sisters, to "spy" on her together in the afternoon, but I didn't expect that Fan Bingbing would be so generous and know how to behave.

Not only did he call these people, he also called over Wang Bozhao, Zhao Xiaorui, Kong Lin, Ni Jingyang, Zhang Shuangli and other actors in the group.

But without exception, they are all mainland actors.

Zhao Xiaorui plays Murong Wudi in the film, who is also an original character. His main identity is the father of the supporting actress Xiao Xiannv.

Speaking of Teacher Zhao, he is very powerful. He is the Black Whirlwind Li Kui in "Water Margin".

What's more, he also played Zheng Laopi, an early human food broadcast saint in "The Mansion Gate". Those eating scenes were truly impressive.

Zhang Shuangli is the teacher who plays Yuan Quan's father, while Kong Lin and Ni Jingyang are the two palace masters Yao Yue and Lian Xing.

Ni Jingyang is a famous model and has only been in the film and television industry for a few years.

She has small eyes, small nose, small mouth and long legs, and she looks very distinctive.

Although Teacher Kong Lin is only 30 years old, he is already a veteran actor.

After finishing her scenes in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she will immediately star in Big Beard's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" as Huang Rong.

"It's not easy for us to get together by chance. I have a performance tonight, so let's have tea instead of wine." After everyone was seated and the cold dishes were served, Fan Bingbing took the lead in opening the banquet.

The evening break was longer, two hours, but not long enough to digest the alcohol, so no one drank.

Seeing Fan Bingbing being like a fish in water at the dinner table, being amiable and caring towards everyone, Zhang Yuan understood that there was a reason why she was able to make it big and gain so many resources in the industry.

"Although today we invited only mainland actors."

"But I guess he will invite the people from Formosa again."

Zhang Yuan understood in his heart.

Fat Fan had a smile on his face, but he understood everything in his heart.

Since the cast and crew of the two places were not so harmonious, it would be more appropriate for her to greet them separately.

"Sister Yang, long time no see." Halfway through the meal, Zhang Yuan raised his teacup towards a middle-aged actress at the table.

"Oh, I thought you didn't recognize me." The actress stood up and Zhang Yuan also stood up quickly.

This man named Yang Xiaoyang was not famous either in his past life or now. He was just an ordinary little actor.

In the film, she plays the chief eunuch, the goddaughter of the big boss Liu Xi, and also Jiang Biehe's wife, Madam Jiang.

Jiang Yuyan is considered a hidden BOSS.

As for how Zhang Yuan recognized this person?

Then we have to talk about the TV series "Conquer" which made him debut.

In the film, the character Song Lao Hu, whose prototype is Ma Lao Dun, left a deep impression on many people with his bald head, mustache and rough behavior.

But what most people don’t notice is that this man is often accompanied by a woman, who is Song Lao Hu’s mistress.

Well, it was played by this Miss Yang.

"It's been more than two years since we last met. It's been a long time since we last met."

"Yes, yes." Sister Yang smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"Are you old acquaintances?" Fan Bingbing, as the organizer of the party, asked naturally.

"Of course."

"I met Sister Yang more than two years ago when I was still a group actor in the crew."

"The conditions on that crew are far worse than here."

"That's right, the conditions here are much better." After a few pleasantries, the two of them drank a glass of tea instead of wine.

Zhao Xiaorui, Kong Lin and others who were not familiar with Zhang Yuan heard that he was still an extra more than two years ago.

But now he is working in this big crew and has good relationships with several popular actresses, which shocked everyone.

"This kid is improving too fast."

“Is this a rocket?”

Sister Yang, who had just finished chatting with Zhang Yuan, thought the same.

She was a supporting role back then, and Zhang Yuan was at most a big shot.

But what about now? Although he is a supporting role in this movie, Sister Yang knows that he is the protagonist in many other movies!
Comparing the two, Sister Yang suddenly felt that all these years had been wasted.

But she was not too sad.

He looks energetic and was quite capable when he was in the crew. She knew at that time that Zhang Yuan would definitely not always be a special guest.

But like everyone else, she never expected that the other party would improve so quickly.

Unlike the others, the three actresses who were relatively familiar with Zhang Yuan looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.

not easy!
How many actors, after becoming famous, try hard to get rid of their debut history; many even make up false history just to gild their own image.

Idol actors, in particular, love to create false histories of fame in order to whitewash their own origins.

Afraid of letting others know about his days of struggling in the mud, he falsified his academic qualifications and resume in order to create the illusion of being a "born superstar."

I have seen these three too many times. After becoming famous, many actors pretend not to recognize their old friends and fellow villagers when they see them.

And just now, judging from the situation, if Zhang Yuan hadn't brought it up, the other party probably wouldn't have recognized him and talked about the previous things.

"He doesn't care at all."

"He is also very kind to others." Yuan Quan thought to himself, "He can be considered sincere."

Yang Xue also thought that this was a good thing for him. After all, he had been an extra before, so why hide from him?

He said it so confidently, and everyone thought he was even more amazing.

Fan Bingbing is even more different.

Unlike these two actors, one from the Central Academy of Drama and the other from the Beijing Film Academy, both of whom graduated from the star classes of their respective schools.

Fan Bingbing graduated from Xie Jin Film and Television Academy. Unlike the other two who have undergraduate degrees, her education level is actually only a technical secondary school.

She also took the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy that year, but unfortunately failed.

Hai Qing also took the exam that year. When Hai’s mother saw 16-year-old Fan Bingbing, she said to her daughter.

"That girl is very beautiful. If she goes in, you're done."

At that time, she still had baby fat and rural red hair, but she was able to scare other candidates and parents like that.

This shows her natural beauty.

However, the invigilator Qi Shilong’s requirement for students at that time was that boys should not be handsome but should have unique characteristics.

Girls should be pretty, but have obvious flaws.

Because he thinks that if a girl is too pretty, she will pay too much attention to her appearance, and the audience will also pay too much attention to her appearance. Beijing Film Academy is a performing arts school, so performance is the main focus.

In addition, he was too young, still a fat kid at the time, and his professional ability was not good, so he was eliminated.

But according to the standards of the teacher who eliminated her, doesn't it prove that she is so beautiful that she has no flaws?

It is precisely because of her poor background that she agrees with Zhang Yuan's behavior.

Among the younger generation of actors, she and Zhang Yuan have the lowest educational qualifications and can only climb up through their works and connections.

She admired the fact that Zhang Yuan faced up to the difficulties he encountered during his debut and did not pretend not to know others.

It was almost time for the evening break, so everyone dispersed.

Yang Xue had no scenes to perform that night. This lady liked to be alone, so she went back to the hotel early to memorize the next day's lines and study the script.

Zhang Yuan was bored, so he hung around the crew.

When I came to a pavilion, I saw two figures talking and laughing there.

"Hey, if there was no food for me in opera, I wouldn't have come to act."

"It's the same for me, actually. I studied for so many years, but in the end I still have to rely on acting to make a living."

When I walked in, I saw Yuan Quan and Wang Shuangli, who played the father and daughter, chatting and acting together.

"You two are chatting." Zhang Yuan came forward.

"You're here."

Quyi was already in decline, and when the two chatted and found out that they were both insiders in the industry, they immediately became closer.

Yuan Quan started learning Peking Opera at the age of 11 and has been doing it for seven years. Although he has transformed into an actor, he still feels sorry for the current state of folk art.

Zhang Shuangli was an amateur who changed his career. He learned Peking opera and Ping opera, and also performed crosstalk in the Imperial Capital Quyi Troupe. Finally, the crosstalk team disbanded, and he came to the crew to make a living. His experience of entering the film and television industry is basically similar to that of Brother Qian.

"Have you also practiced folk art?" Zhang Shuangli asked unexpectedly after the chat.

"I know a little bit of crosstalk, storytelling, and Peking opera," Zhang Yuan said.

After hearing this, both of them shook their heads slightly.

This is too much!
There are also specialties in folk art, and these three are different, especially Peking opera, which is different from crosstalk.

Although Zhang Shuangli knows several subjects, he is already over 50 years old, so people would believe what he said.

Zhang Yuan was only in his early twenties, so naturally they didn't believe him.

Seeing that both of them had the same expression as Lu Yu, "Really? I don't believe it", Zhang Yuan was too lazy to argue.

He simply took action.

The two feet that were originally standing together are now spread out in an "eight" shape.

Stand up straight, chest and back, heels together, eyes looking straight ahead.

"what!"

He hadn't moved yet, but just by making a stance, Zhang Shuangli's eyes lit up.

Then he lifted his leg and stepped forward.

First step with your left leg, bend your knee, lift it up, and slowly straighten it.

Then curl your toes back and push your heels forward with force.

At the same time, the foot is tilted slightly to the side at 15 degrees, maintaining the figure eight shape when standing, and the upper of the shoe on the sole of the foot faces forward so that people can see it clearly.

This kind of footwork is called shining the soles of the boots.

Zhang Yuan walked a full circle in the pavilion with his legs moving back and forth like this.

"Good!" Yuan Quan's eyes were already brighter than those of ordinary people, and now they were shining even brighter, and he was extremely happy.

"Standard, too standard."

Zhang Shuangli also praised.

When he stopped, Yuan Quan looked at him with burning eyes: "Are you training as a martial artist?"

To be precise, it was Wusheng who was being pulled out.

Dong Zhihua, who played the role of Youzhagui in the earlier "Kung Fu", is a well-known martial artist in China!

How could his movements not be standard?

"I'm just having fun."

"Yeah." Yuan Quan shook his head: "I don't think you are an amateur."

An expert can tell whether something is good or not just by taking one look. Yuan Quan is a true expert.

And she is different from Zeng Li, who has been a classmate for more than ten years.

Zeng Li learned the Cheng style of Da Qingyi, which has few movements and emphasizes elegance and grace.

What she practiced was the Mei style Huashan.

To put it simply, the Huashan role combines the characteristics of Qingyi, Huadan and Daomadan, and is a fusion of Huadan and Qingyi.

This job requires the ability to be quiet, active, and able to fight.

Zeng Li is considered to be a very big-framed person in the opera industry, with a height of over 1.7 meters. When she performs fighting scenes, she cannot show the gracefulness and dexterity of a woman.

So it’s just right for her to practice the Da Qing Yi, whose movements are small and steady.

So Dalizi's manners are very dignified and her singing skills are very good.

Yuan Quan has a better figure, and her eyes and stage steps are very flexible. She can do everything, such as waving her sleeves, dancing with the sword, and bending her waist, which makes her look more lively.

Therefore, in Teacher Yuan’s early film and television works, her characters are mostly light and agile types.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for another day." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Since we all share the same interests and are in high spirits, why not just have a show?"

"Okay!" Zhang Shuangli clapped his hands in agreement.

"Okay." Yuan Quan didn't expect that he would meet fellow opera performers on his first day in the new crew, and he was very happy.

It’s even happier than working on a movie.

"Which part?" Zhang Shuangli asked.

"How about, let's watch Farewell My Concubine!" Zhang Yuan glanced at Yuan Quan and suggested.

Hearing these four words, Yuan Quan's eyes relaxed, and then he nodded with a smile.

Because this period has some special meaning to her...
