Chapter 32 Relaxation
After going to the restroom and confirming that the attribute enhancement Zhao Decai gave him was indeed effective, Zhang Yuan called back.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much."
"Why thank me? I should thank you for teaching me a lesson. It turns out that football is not only about the ball, but also about the people behind it."
You see, you get it without me saying anything.
"You're right. Actually, the same is true for movies and TV series."
Through several World Cup games, Zhang Yuan won the other side's trust.
This time, Fatty Zhao had no objection to his judgment.
“Some films may not perform very well when they are broadcast in rotation, but they can shine when they are broadcast on satellite TV.”
"Some films perform well when they are broadcast on rotation channels, but they fail when they are broadcast on provincial channels."
"What is the reason?"
"Audience!" Zhang Yuan threw out two big words steadily.
"There is a gap between the moviegoers in small cities and big cities, and their preferences are different."
"So don't worry, the ratings of Conquer on Tianjin TV are not good. It may just be because it is not adapted to the local climate and the schedule is not good."
"If I change the environment, maybe things will get better."
"How about we make another bet..."
"No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to bet anymore. I believe it, I believe it." Zhao Decai quickly refused: "If you say my father is a woman now, I will believe it."
This is how the father loves his son.
I have already lost 400 million, but fortunately it was not cash.
And because he didn't lose cash, Zhao Decai felt that Zhang Yuan was a trustworthy person.
It was obvious that he could have won millions from me through these few bets, but he took a step back.
A friend who is neither arrogant nor greedy is very rare and is so capable. We must get along well with him!
But what Fatty Zhao didn't know was that Zhang Yuan was playing the long game to catch a big fish.
In less than a year, the 4 million investment funds "deposited" with Zhao Decai will come in handy.
On the crew side, Zhang Yuan's part has entered the countdown and it will be completed in a few days.
The work remains the same, but recently Shu Chang often comes to hang around me whenever he has time.
"Brother Yuan, are you tired? Let me rub your shoulders for you." Shu Chang put her little hands on his shoulders and pressed gently.
Zhang Yuan did not refuse.
It would be hypocritical to really refuse. Which man doesn't like a beautiful girl to run around for him?
Zhang Yuan was just closing his eyes and enjoying it when a shrill female voice with a pinched throat appeared next to his ear.
"Brother Yuan, let me rub your shoulders too... I'll pinch you!!!"
A pair of snow-white slender fingers exerted force on Zhang Yuan's shoulder, directly pulling out a large piece of flesh.
"Ouch! Shit!" Zhang Yuan cursed out loud in so much pain.
"Ho ho ho..." Liu Qianqian made a funny sound and ran away laughing.
Shu Chang looked at Xixi's departing back with an angry look, and at the same time reached out to rub Zhang Yuan's "wound".
Shu Chang has also noticed recently that as long as he stays alone with Zhang Yuan for a while, or talks to him for a few more words, Xixi will definitely show up and cause trouble.
Moreover, ever since that day when they "met" Xixi and Dong Jie in the closet, Shu Chang and Liu Xixi, the two best friends, have remained the same as before in private, with no secrets between them and a very good relationship.
But the two seemed to have a tacit understanding and never mentioned the name Zhang Yuan in their conversation again.
Shu Chang felt that Xixi had changed, but she hadn't changed.
Overall, the crew's life was relatively smooth and nothing major happened.
But just when Zhang Yuan thought he could stay there and relax until the filming was completed, some minor problems arose on the set.
"Xixi, your current state of character should be that you are plotting revenge after being abandoned by Jin Yanxi. You should be ruthless, arrogant, and don't take the other person seriously."
Li Dawei pulled Liu Qianqian, who had failed several NGs, aside and helped her explain the character's status.
For some reason, the little girl has been in a trance these days and has been in a very low state, almost returning to the state when she fainted from hunger.
Zhang Yuan noticed this situation. During lunch, he found an opportunity to sit next to Liu Xiaoli, who had a grudge against him, while she was away.
"I haven't eaten this yet." Zhang Yuan handed the grilled chicken wings on his plate to the other party, wondering if she was forced to go on a diet by her mother again, which was why she was so unhappy.
But Zhang Yuan could never have guessed that Liu Qianqian suddenly burst into tears after seeing the chicken wings.
"Wow……"
Zhang Yuan was so scared that he almost dropped the chicken wings on the ground.
"What happened to you?"
Liu Qianqian sobbed for a long time before wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
Snot... Never mind, Zhang Yuan pretended not to see it.
Wuuuu... Xixi pouted, lowered her head with red eyes: "My mother bought me a parrot last year, named Dabao." "After I came to the crew, my mother didn't let me bring it with me, so I gave it to my aunt to take care of."
The aunt she refers to here is a housewife, not a relative.
"And then?" Zhang Yuan didn't get the other party's point.
"Hang up..." Liu Qianqian's eyes were blank, and she was obviously very sad.
Her parents divorced when she was very young, and her mother took her around everywhere, sometimes in China, sometimes abroad. This kind of noisy life made it difficult for her to make close friends, so she placed much more affection on her pets than her peers.
Zhang Yuan also noticed that Liu Qianqian seemed to be particularly fond of small animals. She often used dried fish to seduce the wild cats near the crew... Once the cats took the bait, she would hold them down and stroke them.
Zhang Yuan looked down at the chicken wings in his hand. This was probably the reason why he was reminded of the past because they were both birds.
He took the chicken wings back, but as soon as he moved, Liu Qianqian stopped him: "Why are you taking it back? Isn't it for me?"
"You are sad."
"But the chicken wings are innocent!"
Liu Qianqian ate several bowls of food with tears in her eyes, turning her grief and anger into appetite.
Zhang Yuanxin on the side thought, indeed, Liu Qianqian really loves small animals, to the extent that she must have them with every meal.
But this also made him understand why the other party was in a bad state.
Liu Qianqian is not like Shu Chang. Although she is young, she is already a "little drama star". This is her first play and she does not have the adjustment ability of a professional actor at all.
Besides, even professional actors often have trouble getting into or out of a role.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan found Li Dawei.
"Relax?"
"That's right. Look at Liu Qianqian's condition. If she doesn't adjust herself, you'll be upset."
Li Dawei thought for a while and said, "You have a solution... I asked too much. You must have a solution. What do you need me to do?"
"It's not a big deal. Just give us young people a day to spare."
"By the way, stop Liu Xiaoli and don't let her follow."
With this "tiger mom" following her, Liu Qianqian couldn't relax at all.
With Li Dawei's trust in Zhang Yuan, he quickly agreed. Besides, he was helping the crew solve a problem, so he had no reason to disagree.
Liu Xiaoli was very reluctant at first. She didn't want to let Xixi go out with Zhang Yuan alone. But when she heard that Chen Kun, Shu Chang and others would also go, and the director insisted, she had no choice but to agree.
The next day, the crew arranged a minibus, carrying several young leading actors, and drove towards the imperial capital.
After an hour or two, everyone arrived at today's destination.
Imperial Capital Zoo!
The Imperial Capital Zoo is located in a prime location in Xizhimen. It was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and was nearly a hundred years old by 02.
You like animals, don't you?
There are many animals here, all kinds of them.
Liu Xixi's stress comes from the death of her pet and the high pressure from her mother. The zoo is a good place to escape from the world. After all, both adults and children love to come here.
As soon as she got off the car, Liu Qianqian no longer had the melancholy look of the past few days. She trotted with Shu Chang in the sunshine, rushed straight into the gate of the park, took a deep breath, and revealed a sunny smile that a young girl should have.
[Received thanks from Liu Xixi, appearance +2, mentality +1 (cheerful)! ]
"This is the smell of nature!" Liu Qianqian's little nose twitched from time to time.
Zhang Yuan came behind them and also raised his nose to smell.
"This smells like horse manure!"
Liu Qianqian gave him a fierce look and said, "Humph, let's go. I want to go see pandas and elephants!"
The three were in front, and Chen Kun, Qiao Zhenyu, Dong Jie, Xu Lu and others were behind.
Brother Kun nudged his brother with his elbow and said, "Zhenyu, why do you think Zhang Yuan is so good at this? Before the game even started, Liu Qianqian was already so happy as if she had won five million."
"Who says it's not true? I think we should learn from him not only in acting, but also in coaxing women."
"Makes sense."
"You see, he often says some nonsense to Liu Qianqian, but she is happy to play with him."
"indeed so!"
Chen Kun turned around and said to Dong Jie behind him, "Jie, come and smell the horse manure."
Dong Jie rolled his eyes at him, then pulled Xu Lu away.
One of them dares to speak, the other dares to learn...
Under the leadership of Xixi, the few of them quickly arrived in front of the elephant house, and Liu Xixi lay on the railing.
"Elephant, elephant, why is your nose so long..."
He watched and sang, forgetting about the dead parrot.
But after singing a few lines, Liu Qianqian's singing stopped abruptly. Then she turned around and ran to Zhang Yuan, swinging her pigtails, and spoke in a panicked voice.
"Zhang Yuan, I suspect that the Imperial Capital Zoo is abusing animals!"
