Zhang Yuan, who was bored and wandering around the crew, saw from a distance a big guy with a gray beard, walking unsteadily.

"It's not a big beard."

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and took a look to make sure he was not seeing things.

At the same time, I also noticed his expression, it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

"hey-hey……"

Zhang Yuan chuckled and walked forward.

"Director Zhang!"

"Hey, it's you, kid!" Seeing him coming towards him enthusiastically, the bearded man shook his beard and walked forward with a smile.

"This kid is not a good person either..." he said in his heart.

He gave up the role of Yelu Qi and went to Hong Kong to make a living.

He is also the kind of person who only cares about whoever gives him milk.

In fact, he didn't think about it. It's not that Zhang Yuan is the mother because he has milk, but the little "milk" he gave could starve the kid to death. Who would be willing to suffer under him again?

As long as he has some fame and other ways out, who would continue to work for him for the pitiful pay he gives?

It's a matter of mutual benefit, but these old guys always feel like they're being taken advantage of.

Old Zhang came here today to film a movie.

The movie that was filmed was "The Little Fish and the Flowerless"!
After all, they are all TV series invested by Ciwen Film and Television. As the director of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", he was also invited by Boss Ma to play a guest role.

Just like when Director Feng heard that "Kung Fu" was invested by Huayi, he also came to help.

With this old guy's eagerness to take advantage of others, it was impossible to treat him to a meal, so Zhang Yuan had to invite him to a nearby teahouse for a gathering.

After choosing a private room with a minimum consumption requirement, serving him good tea and giving him enough face, the old guy happily started chatting with Zhang Yuan. He was realistic and liked to put on airs.

The role he played as a guest star was Mr. Hongye in the film.

Where there are old red leaves, there are small red leaves.

Both of these characters are original characters created by Wang Jing.

These two characters are more or less inspired by the role of Bai Xiaosheng in another work of Master Gu Long, "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword". This character also appears in "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li".

But Mr. Hongye is more "gossipy" than Bai Xiaosheng. Not only does he know the ranking of the heroes in the martial arts world, he also makes a business out of collecting the heroes' secrets.

The bearded man plays Lao Hongye, while the actor who plays his illegitimate son Xiao Hongye is the famous talk show host Liu Yiwei.

This person's life is also quite legendary.

My grandfather was a famous chef and he was also a good cook, so he founded the food program "Everyday Food" on CCTV, which was very successful and attracted a large number of viewers.

Before this, he worked in the advertising industry in Taiwan and was very famous in the industry.

He also opened a record company. Dai Jun's "Alian" and Li Na's "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" are both works of his company.

However, due to poor management, he had no money to pay Dai Jun, so he simply mortgaged the company to the other party, which allowed Dai Jun to make a huge profit.

Subsequently, in 96, CCTV planned to establish a film channel, which was the most bizarre channel in the country and was nicknamed "Sixth Princess".

He was brought in for this job and it was done a few months later.

Including the establishment of the Sixth Princess, every time this man started a business and enjoyed it, he would turn around and do something else, as if he was addicted to entrepreneurship.

It can be seen that this person is extremely active and intelligent, with extensive connections, but he seems to be unstable.

"Director Zhang, let me offer you a cup." Zhang Yuan picked up the fragrant tea and drank the tea in the small cup.

If he were drinking tea with friends, he wouldn't drink so much.

There was no way. He asked the bearded man to come here not to please him.

After all, such small favors would not please Old Deng, as he has a big appetite.

"Director Zhang, I see that you seem to be in a bad mood. What's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Soon after, Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to bring up the topic.

"You..." The bearded man thought for a moment and thought that this person was an acquaintance, and he would not participate in the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

In addition, since he is on good terms with Hua Yi, he is half his own and there is something he can talk to.

"You don't know, the casting for The Condor Heroes is a mess."

"What's wrong? I saw in newspapers and magazines that Brother Xiao Ming has great potential." Zhang Yuan deliberately acted innocently: "I met him on the day of the audition and I also thought he was a good fit."

"Hmph!" The bearded man snorted, "Public opinion is quite chaotic right now."

"Some people can't get a role, so they want to discredit others." Old Zhang said angrily.

really……

Zhang Yuan has been paying close attention to the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The last time he deliberately asked Zhuo Wei to help him release the news, it was about Nie Yuan's plastic surgery and job hopping.

In ancient times, the term "job-hopping" was first used specifically in brothels, referring to a prostitute switching from one client to another. It could also be used to mean a client replacing a prostitute with a new one.

Nowadays, it specifically refers to changing one's job, especially changing one's job.

Using the term "job-hopping" to describe the existence of some actors in the entertainment industry does feel like tracing back to the past.

His purpose in doing so was to force Nie Yuan, who was already at a disadvantage in the casting, to take desperate measures, and at the same time to hide his own actions behind the scenes.

Sure enough, Teacher Nie lived up to his expectations. This actor, who was considered narrow-minded and easily impulsive in Zhang Yuan's eyes, fell into his trap.

After seeing unfavorable reports about himself, he immediately became furious and thought very "smartly".

"That bastard Huang Xiaoming must be afraid that I will reverse the situation, so he uses such a despicable method to deal with me!"

This "very smart guy" was not a good person to begin with, which was one of the reasons why Zhang Yuan started with him.

If we start with Huang Xiaoming, given the character of this good guy in the entertainment industry, he may not necessarily fight back.

Nie Yuan immediately remembered what Zhang Yuan said to him on the day of the audition.

"Huang Xiaoming gave money to the bearded man..."

"Let's not lose face!"

"Be more alert."

"Well done!"

Although more than a month has passed, the influence of the incident is still there.

This person immediately contacted the tabloid reporter he knew and spread the news.

He doesn't care whether it's true or not, as long as he can make the other person uncomfortable and vent his anger!
The news was published in the newspaper soon after, and Zhang Da Huzi saw it quickly.

Very angry!
"Who the hell told the truth?"

He really took money from Huang Xiaoming!

More than two million!
Huang Xiaoming is not stupid.

Not only is he not stupid, he is actually quite cunning.

On the one hand, he knew that the chances of The Return of the Condor Heroes becoming a big hit were at least 70%.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuan was not the only one who knew that Big Beard had an affair with Hua Yi.

The two million "bribes" not only bought the role, but also fame and Huayi's admission ticket.

So Huang Xiaoming had to do it even if it meant selling everything he had.

But this can be done, but it cannot be said!
As soon as the news appeared in the newspaper, Mr. Ma, the boss of Ciwen, went straight to the bearded man and asked him some questions politely.

The bearded man laughed it off.

But he knew that the other party didn't care, but was reminding himself.

This is very uncomfortable.

After a quick search, he found the source of the information and confirmed that it was Nie Yuan's doing.

But if Huang Xiaoming is used again at this moment, it will be difficult for Ciwen to explain.

Let’s change Nie Yuan who has already signed with Ciwen… Not only will he be unhappy, but he will also easily be criticized by others.

If they say you will be replaced once you take the money, doesn't that just prove that you are taking the money?

So he has been very confused and annoyed recently!
That is Zhang Yuan, who had already rejected the offer for a supporting role in The Return of the Condor Heroes, was able to talk to him about this.

After all, the interests are irrelevant.

The bearded man would never have thought that the culprit who annoyed him so much that his beard fell off was right in front of him and was even pouring tea for him.

"Hey Hey……"

"What are you laughing at?" the bearded man narrowed his eyes in confusion.

Zhang Yuan quickly put away the smile that had inadvertently appeared on his face.

"I'm not laughing. I feel the same way as you. I'm worried."

"Okay, I can only tell you this, don't tell anyone else."

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped."

"I know."

After chatting for a long time, Zhang Yuan helped carry the luggage and sent the bearded man to the hotel. Looking at his departing figure, Zhang Yuan waved and smiled and said softly, "You old bastard."

Smart people are very confident, and Nie Yuan and the big bearded man both consider themselves to be the smartest people.

Zhang Yuan took advantage of their self-confidence to influence their judgment.

But even so, Big Beard would never list himself as a candidate for the male lead in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Because it’s not enough!

Not enough benefits.

He was not so naive as to think that he could influence the bearded man's decision with just a little bit of public opinion.

This old guy is a combination of being face-conscious and shameless, so he won't sacrifice his interests for the sake of face.

Besides, even if Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming don’t need it, there are plenty of male actors out there with enough status, so it will never be his turn.

At least now, it's not his turn.

"Let's wait and see." Zhang Yuan looked towards the direction of the hotel and smiled confidently.

……

A few days later, his part finally stopped being motionless!

I've given him a lot of rest these days and he's almost gaining weight.

After all, not only did he sleep during the day and at night, but several actresses also fed him leftover meat all day long.

And today, all those missed sleep and meals finally came in handy.

Because what we are going to shoot today is a fight scene!
"Control it, control it!"

He said to himself secretly before filming.

"Don't do anything reckless."

The content to be filmed today is that after Yan Nantian was poisoned, he brought Xiao Yuer to the Valley of Evil, and after fighting with the five evil men, he fainted on the ground.

Li Dazui, Hahaer, Tu Jiaojiao, Yin Jiuyou, Du Sha...

The actors who play these five villains are actually not strangers.

The fat man Cheng Sihan who plays Li Dazui has played the third Pig King in Feng Yun, the one who passed the swordsmanship to Nie Feng.

The actors who played Hahaer and Yin Jiuyou are related to another masterpiece.

This film that has not yet appeared is called "Wulin Waijia"!
The actor who plays Hahaer is Ma Zhuozi, Li Dazui’s colleague in “Wulin Waijiao”.

The actor who plays Yin Jiuyou is the eunuch Zhan Tang from the Imperial Guard who appears with Bao Daren.

The actor who plays Blood Hand Du Sha is Zhang Yuan, who we have met before in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". His name is Sun Jiaolong and he played Wanyan Aguda.

But the one with the most status among these people is the lesser-known Tu Jiaojiao.

The actor who plays this role is named Sui Yongqing. He appeared in a large number of movies in the 1970s and 1980s and has an excellent temperament.

It's obvious from the first contact that although this person is old, she is definitely a lady from a famous family.

So how famous is her family?

Anyway, she said her background is small, so no one has a big background.

Because she is Soong Ching Ling's adopted daughter!

This woman has met all the first-generation leaders. When she was a child, she called these people in history books uncles, aunts and grandpas.

But she never mentioned this on the crew. She was kind and friendly, just like an ordinary elegant middle-aged woman.

After all, the background is too large and can easily scare people.

Unlike a certain female star who talks about her grandfather all the time... No one with real status would do that, it's shameful.

Only those who have truly seen the big picture can wash away the dross and not take petty fame and gain seriously.

In the Evil Valley scene.

Zhang Yuan, wearing a blue robe and holding a baby...doll in his arms, was stumbling forward with each step.

More than ten years later, he is still dressed like this.

In other words, Yan Nantian and his people have never bought new clothes.

too difficult.

"Yan Nantian wants to see the ghost doctor Chang Baicao!" After standing in front of the camera, he shouted loudly with a weak voice.

After finishing the words, Zhang Yuan was still a little excited.

"This is my first line after being on the crew for over a week..."

The job of an actor is given to me.

Since it was his first play with living people, there were quite a lot of people watching.

In addition to the three female stars who were always around, Zhang Weijian and Xu Jingjiang had their own scenes to play next, so they were also waiting in the wings.

When Nicholas Tse heard that he had a fighting scene, he also came to join in the fun.

After all, Zhang Yuan's movements when he used clothes to block the camera on the first day were incredibly fast, and he always suspected that the other party had practiced before.

"Come on, get on the wire."

As soon as he finished his lines, Wang Jing asked people to put all the actors, including him, on the wire ropes.

In the next scene, he and the five villains all have to fly into the air and fight in mid-air.

The five villains are all supporting characters, so naturally they have no stand-ins.

He too, had to do it all on his own.

"go!"

At Wang Jing's command, the six people stood up together and were pulled up by Weia.

Among them, Zhang Yuan was the most tired.

The others just need to fly straight up.

In order to demonstrate the superb martial arts skills of Yan Nantian, the world's number one swordsman, he had to go up in circles.

Just like Mr. Xie that day.

"Why do you have to use such fancy moves to show off your martial arts skills..."

Before Zhang Yuan could complain, he turned and flew upwards.

The flying stick is coming...

"Okay, let's do it again."

After rising to the right position, it has to be lowered again and then several shots are taken from different angles.

As he slowly landed, Zhang Yuan's legs twisted slightly after touching the ground and he almost fell.

"His legs are weak too." Master Xie muttered softly as he watched from the side.

After being pulled and turned several times, Zhang Yuan landed on the ground again, holding his chest with his hands, his face pale, and trying to endure it.

"Look, I'm not the only one who's having trouble spinning around."

"He is feeling uncomfortable too!" Mr. Xie thought again.

Next, the crew asked him to somersault in the air and make a beautiful evasive backward move.

This action is quite difficult and even more troublesome than turning in circles just now.

It requires great coordination of the body.

"Come on, let's go!"

As the wire rope was pulled, Zhang Yuan flipped backwards under the pull of a huge force.

Boom!
After a backflip, he landed on the ground in a hurry and almost fell to his knees.

"It's almost the same as my first time." Master Xie watched and thought.

"It seems he is not talking nonsense."

"This performance must be due to the fact that he has never practiced martial arts."

"But why did he move so quickly that day?"

Nicholas Tse was very confused.

"Did I really see it wrong?"

He was not the only one present who had a puzzled expression.

As I said earlier, Sun Jiaolong, who had worked with Zhang Yuan in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and played the role of Bloody Hand Du Sha in the film, was also a little puzzled when he saw his performance.

"When I was on the set of Tian Long, I was as light as a swallow and landed silently, but now..."

"Could it be that he..."

"Regressed?"
