Chapter 320: Visitors from the Association

Not long after the Liu family's mother and daughter left, Zhang Yuan was bored in the ward, so he talked to Wang Bozhao about what happened that day.

"Too deceiving!"

Even though several days have passed, Teacher Wang still gets furious when he talks about this.

Anyone would be angry.

Let’s not talk about the beating for now.

It has been several days now, and the two culprits and the director have not come forward to resolve the issue. Only a few middle-level managers from the crew have come to deal with the hospitalization issue.

Just drag it on.

In the previous life, the crew quickly issued an announcement, clearly stating that this was just a filming requirement on the set and the actor simply did not control his strength well.

It does not constitute assault at all.

Wang Jing was even so mean as to slap himself six times at the press conference, saying it didn't hurt at all, in order to prove that Wang Bozhao was pretending to be injured.

This is different now.

Zhang Yuan has such a big black eye, he can't say it doesn't hurt, right?

If it doesn’t hurt, give it a try.

This was why Zhang Yuan intended to let Zhang Weijian beat him up, and hit him in the face.

Wang Jing still has no explanation to this day, and can only spread rumors that he molested a female actress in an attempt to justify the beating.

But denying hitting someone is impossible.

Besides, Zhang Yuan pretended to have a concussion. This disease can be serious or minor, depending entirely on the patient's performance and the doctor's judgment.

"Teacher Wang, after all, you should have figured it out." Zhang Yuan said patiently.

"This matter has something to do with you taking Zhang Weijian's position as a makeup artist."

"Of course, he is taking revenge on me because of this. He doesn't take our mainland actors seriously at all!" Wang Bozhao is also a veteran and can see this clearly.

"But Nicholas Tse is not a good guy either, he didn't go easy on me."

"The bruises on my legs and the wounds on my waist were all caused by him!"

When fighting with people, don't be afraid of veterans or professional hooligans.

What I’m afraid of are those children who are fifteen or sixteen years old.

Because the old gangster knows how to beat people. He can hurt and injure them but not kill them.

But the little boy doesn't care. If you disagree with him, he will take out a dagger and stab you in the stomach, and you will be dead on the spot.

Isn’t there a scene in “Young and Dangerous” where Shan Ji, Da Tian Er and Jiao Pi, three big hooligans from Causeway Bay, met a group of young people on the basketball court, ended up being surrounded, and finally fled in disappointment.

Young people are so reckless when they attack others that you can't afford to offend them.

Although Nicholas Tse is already in his early twenties, his rebellious period lasted for a long time.

This matter is almost over.

Being able to wipe his ass to this extent.

But "he offended the abbot and yet he wants to run away"!
This time, let alone saying he is his biological son, people would believe him even if he said he is his biological father.

"Nicholas Tse was too impulsive and did not know how to control his strength. He is really despicable." Zhang Yuan echoed.

"But the more hateful one is Zhang Weijian, who instigated the organization to do this."

"Indeed, that baldy guy has the worst heart." Wang Bozhao gritted his teeth viciously.

In fact, he doesn't dislike Nicholas Tse at all.

Because this young man is not only very hardworking, but also more easy-going than other Hong Kong actors. He often plays with mainland actors... Of course, he mainly plays with Yang Xue.

Mr. Xie always sticks to Yang Xue.

Yang Xue was too lazy to answer him as she was reciting her lines, but Master Xie snatched the script from her and forced her to play swordplay with him.

Sister Yang always dislikes him.

But it’s not the kind of dislike that comes from hate, it’s the kind of dislike that comes from having a naughty younger brother at home.

"So we have to clearly distinguish the priorities in this matter."

"The principal offender is Zhang Weijian, and Xie Nicholas Tse is an accomplice."

"Nicholas Tse is still young and has a chance to change, but that bald guy probably can't change." Zhang Yuan said indirectly.

Wang Bozhao pondered his words and felt that they made some sense.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.

"Someone from the Film Association or Huayi has arrived..." Zhang Yuan was the first to react.

"Come in."

But after answering, he didn't recognize any of the people who came in.

And judging from his temperament, he doesn't seem like someone from the film and television industry. Instead, he has a somewhat elegant demeanor... Oh, that's not right.

I know someone!

A total of three people came in, two older and one younger.

The three of them went straight to Wang Bozhao's bed, while the younger one followed the two elders with his head down, as if he was deliberately avoiding Zhang Yuan.

"Chairman Shen, Chairman Wang, and Brother Zhou!" When Wang Bozhao saw these three people, his face was filled with joy, as if he had seen his relatives.

"Oh my, those Hong Kong people are so shameless that they hurt you like this!"

"On behalf of all my colleagues in the Huaxia Calligraphy Association, I would like to express my concern for you."

Oh... Zhang Yuan understood now. It turned out that he was from the Calligraphy Association.

There are fourteen registered literary and art associations in China.

Among them, the Film Association, Writers Association, Chinese Music Association, Artists Association, Music Association and Dance Association have greater influence.

And another reason why these are quite awesome is that they were all founded in 49.

That is, it was specially approved by the first generation of leaders.

Apart from the six, the Calligraphy Association has the greatest influence, with more than 15000 members. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

Wang Bozhao is naturally an old member of the Calligraphy Association, and because of his status as a famous actor, he is also a relatively well-known member.

“Thank you for the association’s attention. I’m grateful.”

"Oh, by the way, this is Zhang Yuan. He was the one who stood up when I was being beaten and stopped the other party from continuing."

"Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Wang Bozhao was quite considerate and did not forget Zhang Yuan.

"Oh, you are a young hero with a sword in hand!" the president praised immediately.

"He also practices calligraphy and writes good regular script. He is quite talented," Teacher Wang praised.

"That's great, there's one more person who shares the same interests with me. Let's come to the calligraphy association someday and study and discuss together."

"Thank you for the invitation, President. It is my honor." Zhang Yuan also cooperated and spoke in an official tone.

"Besides, I actually have a close relationship with the Calligraphy Association, not only do I have a close friendship with Teacher Wang." At this point, the corners of his mouth curled up and he cast his gaze towards the person hiding behind the two presidents.

"Director Zhou and I are old acquaintances."

When the association comes to express their condolences, they naturally take photos and publish them in internal newspapers.

As for photography, it is of course best to find a professional.

Director Zhou is a director, of course he is professional. Moreover, he is familiar with Wang Bozhao and they are both in the entertainment industry, so he is the most suitable person to come.

So who is this Director Zhou?

He was the director of my junior sister Liu Shishi’s first TV series.

She was the one who wanted to find her in the hotel room to "chat about the play".

Otherwise, why did he keep avoiding Zhang Yuan after he entered the door?

“Hey, hey, hello…” Director Zhou, whose stage name is Pingjiang Suojing, leaned forward.

Now that people have called you out, it would be inappropriate to hide any longer.

"Director Zhou, my sister is very grateful to you for taking care of her. She is a newcomer and I hope you can bear with her if there are any inappropriate things she does."

Director Zhou's calves started to cramp when he heard this.

This kid keeps talking about things that are not related to the topic!
When it came to the photo session, Wang Bozhao spoke.

“I am extremely grateful that the association is willing to speak up for me.”

"Since Zhang Yuan is also a calligraphy enthusiast, I think we should include him in the photo as well."

Zhang Yuan sighed. Teacher Wang is quite sensible.

Someone is protecting me and pulling me up as well.

At this moment, Director Zhou, who was in charge of taking pictures, also straightened his back.

Yup!

He is now "alone and helpless" and has to rely on the shade of our calligraphy association. Why should I be afraid of him? Click, click... After taking a bunch of photos, Teacher Wang hooked Zhang Yuan's shoulder and said.

"We are in the same boat and we help each other."

"Yes, Zhang Yuan, if you have the chance to come to the Calligraphy Association, I will take you with me." Director Zhou also spoke at this time.

If I take you with me, it means you will be my younger brother.

At least he got back some of the ground he lost that night.

"Zhang Yuan, we're here to see you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several noises were heard outside the ward.

Just by looking at the loud and rough voice, like that of a drake, Zhang Yuan knew it was Feng Xiaogang.

The door opened and a large group of people immediately entered.

When the people from the Calligraphy Association saw the person coming, they took the initiative to step aside and politely gave up their seats.

"You have such a dark eye." After Feng Xiaogang entered the room, he used his arm to block the door to make it easier for people behind him to enter.

Pingjiang Suojing, who had just straightened up, was already frightened when he saw Feng Xiaogang.

It's not that you don't know the goods, it's that you have to compare the goods. As both are directors, he and Director Feng are naturally incomparable.

But one of the three great directors in China is blocking the door?
Who can let him block the door?

At this moment, Wang Zhonglei, dressed extremely decently in a suit and leather shoes and with his hair combed meticulously, stepped into the room.

After seeing Zhang Yuan's look, he immediately frowned.

"Those two Hong Kong people were so cruel?"

"It looks like he's been disfigured."

Director Zhou took a breath of cold air.

The bosses of Huayi are here!
And it seemed like she was coming for that boy. She looked at him as soon as she entered the door and didn't even look at Wang Bozhao.

It’s amazing enough to be a master in the same field.

At this moment, all the big financiers in the industry have arrived, and this person wants to show his face. After all, if he can get on board Huayi's big ship, he will be able to get some benefits.

But then I thought about how I had just acted like a villain, and I thought that guy was definitely not a good person, so I thought he would not take the opportunity to take revenge on me.

He was still struggling, but found that Xiao Wang did not sit down directly, but stood aside and looked outside the door.

"Are there any other masters?" The people from the Calligraphy Association all stretched their necks to look.

At this time, Zhang Guoli and Hou Yuewen, one on the left and one on the right, welcomed in Liu Lanfang, the chairman of the Chinese Folk Music Association, like guardians.

Wang Zhonglei is rich and domineering, but he still has to maintain his reputation.

After all, Liu Lanfang is a senior and an old artist, so he has to respect her and act like a junior.

Uncle Hou Sanye and Zhang Guoli have been good friends for nearly forty years, and Uncle Guoli has deep roots in the folk art industry.

He is also familiar with Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei, so his coming today is just the right person to serve as a link between the parties.

"Fuck you, I beat you like this." Mr. Hou San also cursed as soon as he entered the room.

Sister Cheng Hao’s makeup skills are still pretty good.

Zhang Yuan pretended to tremble, and climbed up from the bed with great effort, supporting himself by the edge of the bed.

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite. Just take a rest." Master Hou San hurriedly advised.

Then he was taken back to the bed.

Zhang Yuan's current movements are similar to those of the sloth in "Zootopia", so slow that it makes people feel distressed.

"This is what happened today," Hou Yuewen continued.

"Teacher Liu and I came to express our condolences on behalf of the Chinese Folk Music Association."

"At the same time, a joint statement from the Chinese Musicians Association will be released online and on television."

"Xiaogang and I are here on behalf of the Film Association," Zhang Guoli continued.

"The Film Association will also issue a statement to question this."

"They must give an explanation!"

Wang Zhonglei crossed his arms across his chest, revealing his big gold watch, and followed with a serious expression.

"Since you acted in our Huayi's movie, you are our Huayi's friend."

"I'm not going to let this go if you beat up my friend."

As soon as Xiao Wang opened his mouth, he was full of gangster spirit.

"Afterwards, Huayi will also issue a statement with the Film Association and the Chinese Music Association to question this."

"Xiao Gang will also raise questions on behalf of the crew of the film 'A World Without Thieves'."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Director Feng and said, "You old man, you want to take this opportunity to promote the movie, right?"

Okay, I'll cooperate with you!
However, Zhang Yuan knew from the beginning that these people would come eventually, so he would not let them come in vain.

Now that you are here, you have to help me with something!

"Dear seniors and leaders, I am really sorry to have you come all the way here for such a small matter."

"Unfortunately, I am not feeling well and have not recovered yet, so I cannot come and thank you."

"Xiao Ke can only lie in bed here to express his gratitude." After saying this, a crystal tear rolled down Zhang Yuan's eye.

All these years of acting skills were not acquired in vain.

Seeing the excitement, they hurried to comfort him.

"You are very brave. It is a noble act to stand up in times of crisis."

"Don't worry, we are here to make those Hong Kong guys bow their heads and apologize, and bleed profusely!"

"It's time to teach those southern barbarians a lesson!"

Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli and Hou Yuewen were very excited.

Liu Lanfang was steady and only said a few polite words, and also mentioned Mr. Yuan Kuocheng in passing.

The old man was old, so he was not allowed to travel long distances.

Wang Zhonglei just kept smiling and said nothing.

He is the most practical.

Zhang Yuan, he would definitely help, after all, he had participated in two of Huayi's films. In order to protect the films, he also wanted to set an example for other actors who were interested in Huayi.

As for targeting Hong Kong people...Hua Yi actually has a lot of cooperation with the Hong Kong circle.

His idea was to take the opportunity to get some resources to compensate himself, while at the same time suppressing the arrogance of his Hong Kong partners and their attitude when dividing the cake in the future.

Everyone uses each other.

"If you have any other needs, you can tell us." Mr. Hou San asked with concern.

"Well, actually I do have a little thing I'd like to ask you for help with." Zhang Yuan finally got the chance to speak.

“It’s not easy to run my crosstalk club.”

"Teacher Liu, you also know that it is difficult for small theaters to survive now."

Liu Lanfang also sighed. As the chairman, she was in a difficult position.

"My garden business is pretty good, and I'm planning to open a branch next year."

"That's a good thing!" Liu Lanfang responded.

"It's a good thing, but there is a problem. People keep reporting us to the Chinese Musicians Association, and we have to make corrections every few days, which affects our performances."

"Is this true?" Liu Lanfang looked at Hou Yuewen.

"You are a bunch of bastards who can't stand others doing better than you." Master Hou San was very true to his nature and cursed directly.

"I see. I will pay attention to this matter."

With Liu Lanfang, the chairman of the Chinese Folk Music Association, personally speaking out, Zhang Yuan thought that Deyuan Society should be able to have some peace and quiet for a few years.

"Uncle Guoli, Director Feng, I actually have something I want to consult you about."

"Oh, go ahead." Zhang Guoli replied immediately.

After all, they are one of us!
Zhang Yuan thought to himself that Zhang Guoli was still on his side and he would really help if anything happened.

He calmed himself down and then spoke.

"Is such that."

“At the beginning of the year, I starred in a TV series.”

"It's called 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy'!"

He had already planned it out. This time, he would use the power of the Film Association to find a way to redeem his investment! (End of this chapter)
