In 96, Zhao Hongfei entered the Xie Jin Film and Television Academy.

Also entering in the same year were Fan Bingbing and Guo Jingfei, who later became famous.

96 can be considered a big year for the Chinese film and television industry. The Central Academy of Drama also had its Class of 96, and the Beijing Film Academy's Class of 96 also produced Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming.

The stars who entered this year dominated the Chinese film and television industry for twenty years.

At that time, Zhao Hongfei had just entered the school, and the rumor was everywhere that a very beautiful girl had arrived.

The young boy's mind was full of Naizi, so he couldn't bear to hear this and went to see it immediately.

But when he took a look, he was greatly disappointed. Her face was chubby, her clothes were rustic, and her voice smacked of oysters.

Fan Bingbing is from Qingdao and speaks with the same accent as Huang Bo.

And she was less than 1.7 meters tall at the time, and she had reached the peak of her weight in her life.

After leaving his hometown for the first time, he relied on his solid digestive ability to eat up to nearly 130 kilograms.

In addition, she already had some baby fat, which squeezed her double-lidded peach blossom eyes into squinted eyes, and her cheeks were red from the high altitude. She wore a thick ponytail and always wore a bright red sweater. She looked like she had just come back from the countryside.

There is a model actor in the island country named Devon Aoki, who has acted in "2 Fast Furious" and "Vice City". At that time, Fan Bingbing looked almost the same as her.

Zhao Hongfei was tall and thin at the time, and he was also good at martial arts, so he was very popular among female classmates and "didn't like" Fan Bingbing.

But wait a few months and see.

Hey!
The baby fat disappeared and she became thinner, with a fair and tender face. Her big eyes flickered as if they could speak.

Because within the few months when he "lost interest" in Fan Bingbing, she was chosen by the crew of "Strong Woman" to act for three days even though she weighed 130 pounds.

It was these three days of drama that changed her destiny.

The leading actress of that drama was Liu Xuehua, and Fan Bingbing only played a small cameo role and had no rival scenes with Liu Xuehua.

But Teacher Liu Xuehua, who was resting in the dressing room, fell in love with Fan Bingbing at first sight and thought she was too beautiful.

"How can a modern person have a face that looks like she's in ancient costume?" This is Liu Xuehua's evaluation of her.

It is said that women understand women best. I could see her essence through her 130-pound body.

Liu Xuehua's vision is much better than Zhao Hongfei's.

The following year, Fan Xiaopang was recommended to Qiong Yao and he starred in "My Fair Princess".

But now it was too late for Zhao Hongfei to take action.

Fan Bingbing has gotten together with her first love Li Jie.

He was so regretful!
I want to slap myself in the face.

He felt even more annoyed when he saw that Li Jie, who was not as good-looking, had worse temperament and acting skills than himself, was doing better than himself with the help of Fan Bingbing.

When I heard Fan Bingbing's voice just now, I recalled the past.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's ambiguous words with the other party again, he felt a little sad.

"Now I can't even reach this old classmate."

“And the gap is getting bigger.”

The feeling of missing out is the most painful.

But he also knew that even if he had pursued Fan Xiaopang back then, they would have probably broken up by now.

Because Li Jie had also broken up with Fan Bingbing. As for the reason... Actually, there was no need for a reason. The gap between their career development was too big, and the levels of contact they had were becoming increasingly distant. They were together less and apart more, so naturally they had no common language.

But Li Jie still couldn't let go of Fan Bingbing and once cried his eyes out at a reunion with old classmates.

But Fan Bingbing is also sensible. Even after breaking up, she still often provides resources to this first love, showing her great loyalty.

Xie Jin and his class 96 also had a dinner together, and Fan Bingbing also took time to go.

But although everyone is classmates, the gap in status is getting bigger and bigger, and the kind of completely equal class friendship is ultimately difficult to reproduce.

Humans will automatically identify with the category.

The same was true for Zhao Hongfei. When he met Fan Bingbing at the banquet, he no longer had the arrogance he had when he looked down on the fat girl when he entered school. Instead, he felt a little inferior.

But when Zhang Yuan was talking to Fan Bingbing just now, not only was his attitude casual, but there was even some ambiguity in his words.

He felt not only jealous but also a little envious.

"It seems that he has a better relationship with Fatty Fan than with me, his old classmate."

Zhao Hongfei was just about to ask Zhang Yuan how he knew this old classmate when he heard his cell phone ringing again.

"Hey, Sister Cheng Hao, what's going on?"

Zhao Hongfei heard it all.

"Cheng Hao...it can't be that charming Cheng Hao." He thought with some fear.

"I can't come to you if I'm fine?"

Zhang Yuan thought, why are all your words of speech exactly the same when spoken by women?

Is there a script or something?
"Yes, I'm happy to hear your voice." Zhang Yuan quickly replied.

"That's more like it. I came to you for good."

"Jiannanchun has replied."

"We agreed to five million for three years, but the commercials also have to be included in the contract."

"Okay, five million is already my highest expectation, and you have to be a good sister, others will definitely not be able to negotiate."

"Hehehe..." Cheng Hao chuckled.

She knew that the plans were all decided by Zhang Yuan himself, and she was actually just a messenger.

Zhang Yuan said this just to coax her, but she was happy to hear it.

"They are in a hurry to shoot the commercial, but I told you that you have already joined the crew and there is no time available for the time being."

"But their ad will be on CCTV within a month."

"What do you think we should do?" Cheng Hao asked him helplessly.

She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

But I also knew that if this matter was handed over to Zhang Yuan, he would definitely be able to handle it with just a few words. I suddenly felt a little incompetent and that I could never help him. I was also not very competent as a temporary agent.

"It's easy."

Cheng Hao on the other end of the phone tilted his mouth, as expected, he had guessed it right.

"Since they are begging me, it will be easy."

"I can't run to them, but I can let them run to me!"

"Why don't you ask Jiannanchun to bring the crew to Xiangshan? I can take a few nights off to shoot the film."

"Oh, yeah!" Cheng Hao finally reacted: "Okay, I'll tell the other party right away."

"We are not responsible for the extra costs."

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan shook his legs happily.

"I was probably afraid that my value would increase after A World Without Thieves became a hit, so I quickly agreed."

“Advertising still makes money.”

After all, being a celebrity, besides selling your butt to capital, the most profitable thing is selling your face to brands.

"Huh?" He glanced at Zhao Hongfei beside him and found that he seemed to be a little autistic suddenly.

"what happened to you?"

"nothing……"

Zhao Hongfei feels uncomfortable all over now.

Why is there such a huge gap between people!

Two beautiful women are around him, and he makes millions from just one advertisement.

But I still have to pick up roles that others are unwilling to play, and treat them as treasures.

For this, I have to thank him.

[Received thanks from Zhao Hongfei, Peking Opera Basics +1! ]

What's wrong with this guy? He's depressed one moment and thanks me the next... Zhang Yuan doesn't quite understand.

He didn't know that he had accidentally hit someone.

The training for The Return of the Condor Heroes was quite strict. Everyone worked very hard for the whole afternoon. After the training was over, they all dragged their heavy bodies and ran to eat.

Liu Qianqian, her mother, and her sparring partners, Zhao Dandan who played Hong Lingbo, and Wang Jia who played Cheng Ying, sat at the same table.

The four of them opened their lunch boxes. Zhao Dandan looked at the two-finger-thick mantis shrimps in her own lunch box, then saw the mantis shrimps as thick as forearms in Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli's lunch boxes, and fell into deep thought.

"Everyone is here." At this time, Zhang Yuan also came to their table and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"I asked them to add some local seafood specialties. Are you used to it?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"I'm used to it!" Liu Qianqian waved the hand holding the chopsticks.

Zhao Dandan and Wang Jia glanced at her and said, "You are used to it. Your food is the best."

"You'll get used to it. By the way, we're all in the same crew, so let's make friends and exchange our phone numbers."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan added the numbers of two new friends.

After dinner, everyone went back to the hotel.

Most of them have exhausted their physical energy in training during the day and have no time to develop a nightlife.

But there are exceptions.

"Ding ding!" Zhao Dandan, who was stretching her legs in the room, was in good physical condition. After all, she had a background in martial arts school and had worked as a stunt double. This intensity of training was nothing to her.

Seeing his cell phone ringing, it seemed to be a text message, so he picked it up and took a look. "Do you have time now?"

A short message appeared in front of her.

And the sender is... Zhang Yuan!
Zhao Dandan's heart trembled.

Will he come to see me, or will he come to see me at night?

The girl's heart started pounding and she felt a little nervous.

"Are you looking for me?"

She replied somewhat incredulously.

"Yes, if you have time, let's meet in the grove near the training ground."

At night, he even asked me to go into the woods!

Thump, thump, thump...my heart is beating faster.

"Why do we want to go to the grove?"

"Where is more secluded?"

Thump, thump, thump...my heart is beating so fast that it's on my face.

Zhao Dandan went to the mirror in the bathroom and found that her cheeks were red.

Then he turned around and examined his figure and appearance.

To be honest, she is quite pretty, especially when she smiles, she has two dimples and looks quite pure.

Among ordinary people, she is definitely considered a beauty.

But compared with the beautiful actresses, he is a little bit inferior and does not have the star quality.

But she is not inferior to the actresses in all aspects.

For example, body shape!

After years of training, she has a slim waist and long legs. She is not skinny, but has a strong and refined figure with tones.

Since she can be the stunt double for the heroine, her figure must be good and her height is not short, at 1.7 meters.

"Zhang Yuan is handsome and popular, he won't fall in love with me, right?"

"But he doesn't like me, why would he call me out so late at night?"

"Let's go to the grove..."

Zhao Dandan was thinking, if Zhang Yuan wanted to do something inappropriate for children to her, should she agree or not.

"There are so many beautiful actresses in the crew, but he didn't like any of them, but he chose me?"

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a dizzy sense of satisfaction.

"That means I'm no worse than those actresses."

"Humph, your shrimp is bigger than mine, but I'm not bad either."

Who wants to be a stunt double when you can be a serious actress?

At this moment, Zhao Dandan thought that if he was willing to have me, then not only would it give her face, but she could also prove herself, so it would be a win-win situation.

"Right there!" she replied immediately.

Then she quickly tidied her hair and ran out.

Ten minutes later, she saw a handsome figure leaning against a tree with his eyes closed near the grove.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, I'm here." Zhao Dandan's cheeks looked like they had been scalded by boiling water, and she was shaking as she spoke.

"Oh, Hello."

"What's the matter that you want to see me?" he asked with his head down.

"I have a job here, I wonder if you are interested."

"There's a commercial that needs an actress who can use a sword. Can you come?"

You introduced me to a job right away. Are you planning to let me reap the benefits and then take me into your hands?
"Yes, if there is a job, why don't you look for Liu Qianqian and the others?"

nonsense!

Zhang Yuan complained in his heart.

They only give us a budget of 8000 yuan, and if I let Xixi play the role, Liu Xiaoli will definitely roll her eyes at me!

You really don't treat Xiaolongnu as a human being.

Now, one of her advertisements can earn her at least hundreds of thousands or even millions.

"You are more suitable." Of course Zhang Yuan couldn't say that, he could only coax her.

Actually, it is an advertisement for Jiannanchun.

Their creativity was actually to take advantage of the popularity of The Return of the Condor Heroes while imitating House of Flying Daggers.

A man and a woman were fighting with swords in a bamboo forest. After a fierce battle, they reconciled, sat down to drink, and exchanged brands.

He specifically gave this job to Zhao Dandan because he needed her help with something.

"What do you want to do for this job?"

"I am willing."

No, if you are willing, then just do it. Why are you answering so shyly?
"Okay, then I'll talk to Party A."

"Besides this, I have something else for you."

Thump, thump, thump... Zhao Dandan's heartbeat accelerated again, and she was almost jumping out of "The General's Order".

"In the next few days, can you come here with me every night and..."

Gudong!

The girl swallowed, closed her eyes, and answered forcefully: "I do!"

"I haven't finished talking yet, what do you want to say?"

"I'm willing to do anything..." The more he spoke, the smaller his voice became, until it sounded like the buzz of a mosquito.

There was a strong man in front of her, it was a dark and windy night, next to a grove of trees, and she was now feeling hot all over.

Zhang Yuan scratched his ears and saw that her face was red. He wondered if she had misunderstood him.

"I want to play sword fighting with you."

"You can act however you want, no matter how shabby you want." The girl thought he was flirting.

"It's not that mean, it's sword practice."

"Okay...ah, practice sword?" Zhao Dandan raised her head suddenly: "Just practice sword?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you come to me for practice?"

"Because you are a woman, and you are Liu Qianqian's sparring partner."

Zhao Dandan became more and more confused.

"Hey, you don't have to understand. You'll know when the filming starts."

"This..." A gust of north wind blew by, and Hong Lingbo suddenly felt a little lonely.

Although Yang Guo flirted with Hong Lingbo in the book, he ultimately looked down on her.

"She is pretty, but not as pretty as Aunt Guo from Peach Blossom Island, and even less pretty than my aunt."

This is Yang Guo’s evaluation of Hong Lingbo.

Zhao Dandan's heart sank, knowing that it was the same in reality.

How could Yang Guo be interested in a girl like Hong Lingbo?

Not to mention comparing myself with Liu Qianqian, I am even far inferior to Aunt Liu.

That's just wishful thinking on my part.

What am I thinking about!

She was so upset that she wanted to cry. She was crying because she was angry with herself.

"If it's not suitable, you can refuse." Zhang Yuan saw the other party's expression changing again and again, and said cautiously.

"I'm sorry for being a little abrupt."

Seeing that he was so gentle and polite, and thinking that he had introduced her to an opportunity to earn extra money, Hong Lingbo pinched her thigh hard.

"It's all my imagination, how can I blame others?"

"Brother Zhang Yuan, of course I am willing. It's OK as long as you don't mind that I'm a girl and my skills are not high." She regained her former boldness and shed her previous shyness.

That's right, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, you are pretty and agile, no worse than those actresses. You don't have to compare yourself with them."

Zhao Dandan widened her eyes and stood there in a daze.

She knew that her thoughts were seen through by the other party.

"He's so amazing..."

"Well, I see."

"Thank you for introducing the job to me." Zhao Dandan replied with her cheeks red, but not as red as before, just slightly red.

[Received thanks from Zhao Dandan, martial arts foundation +1! ]

The training time passed by like a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day to start the filming... (End of this chapter)
