The next morning.

Early in the morning, the crew entered a state of "loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people."

Zhang Yuan didn't even need to ask, he could tell by just looking over there that an important person was coming.

Sure enough, after a while, many new actors arrived at the crew.

Teachers Wang Luoyong and Kong Lin who played Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Among them, Teacher Kong Lin is an acquaintance of mine.

"Teacher Kong, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Hey, hello." Teacher Kong came to his side with a smile.

Previously in the crew of "The Little Fish and the Flower", she played the role of Palace Master Yao Yue and her role was not too many.

The two had dined together with other actors several times, and even if they were not friends, they were acquaintances.

And this person is the "party involved" in the "Wang Bozhao" incident. She was in the crew at that time and knew very well what happened.

It is clearer how Zhang Yuan turned things in his favor step by step.

Teacher Kong is a typical professional actor who doesn't meddle in other people's business. Although he doesn't say it, he has never expressed his opinion on the affairs of the "Little Fish" crew in the media.

But now seeing Zhang Yuan become the protagonist of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she greeted him with some surprise at first, and then thought about it.

"Looking at the entire young generation, he is probably the only one who can take down Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan under the bearded man and capture the protagonist."

In addition to these two, Meng Guangmei, who played Li Mochou, also came to the crew.

This woman is a former model. She is nearly 1.8 meters tall, a rare sight in the crew. She is half a head taller than Liu Qianqian, who is considered tall.

This is also a good thing, as the Red Fairy Li Mochou she played is tall and overbearing, giving off an oppressive vibe.

It just happens to highlight the ethereal and naive nature of her fellow junior sister, Xiaolongnu.

In addition, Mr. Bayin Erile, who played the role of King Jinlun, also came.

This hearty Inner Mongolian man is considered the "royal" actor of Big Beard. In Zhang Jizhong's martial arts films, as long as there are barbarian masters, they are basically played by him.

And because he played Jiumozhi in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", he had many rival scenes with Zhang Yuan, who played Murong Fu at the time, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

Actors such as Nimoxing, Xiaoxiangzi, Yin Kexi, Ma Guangzuo and Dalba also joined the crew.

For a moment, the crew was crowded with people.

But Zhang Yuan understood that welcoming these people did not require such a grand ceremony.

This group of people should be just the "appetizer".

"Zhang Yuan, the director has notified you to change your costumes and put on makeup. Please go to the dressing room to get ready."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan immediately got into work mode.

When he arrived at the dressing room, he was immediately startled.

The corridor was full of people, and they were not staff members, but actors from the crew!

Some were standing, some were squatting, some were leaning against the wall, some were sitting in the corner, everyone was changing their costumes.

"Today's scenes don't require so many people..." Zhang Yuan recalled today's shooting plan.

I thought to myself, could it be that Yu Min is doing something to me again?

Temporarily adjust the shooting?

He can't be that stupid.

After all, a Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same move twice. Besides, I was not defeated last time.

"Teachers, why don't you come inside to change clothes and put on makeup? It's warmer inside."

He is the leading actor and has his own small dressing room, but it is not big, only about ten square meters.

But at least it's a closed room with an electric heater, which is much better than the corridor in winter.

"Does it fit?"

"What's inappropriate about this? Come on."

For many artists, things like independent dressing rooms and assistants are symbols of status. Even if they don’t use them themselves, they cannot let others use them.

This is what they call "status".

The actors were a little uncomfortable for a moment when they saw that the young lead actor in the crew was so polite and didn't take the dressing room seriously at all.

"Come in, drink some hot water, and take your time to put on makeup." Zhang Yuan pulled the hesitant colleagues into the house.

Soon, his dressing room was crowded with people.

Zhang Yuan raised his head and glanced at the people around him.

Nemo Star, Yin Kexi, Xiao Xiangzi... plus myself, Yang Guo, the scene was just like the gathering of heroes in the Mongolian tent in the book.

[Received thanks from Yang Guang, Art Basics +1! ]

[Received thanks from Zhang Zhenyong, martial arts foundation +1! ]

[Received thanks from Xiu Ge, Opera Basics +1! ]

Among those he invited into the house, the one who was most moved was Teacher Xiu Ge.

I thought to myself that the person in front of me had stolen my brother's job two years ago.

But at this moment, his brother is still playing a supporting role, while others have already played the leading role.

But Teacher Xiu Ge had no objection at all.

In the entertainment industry, everyone has their own abilities, so that’s nothing.

What's more, he is so polite and knows how to behave, and he doesn't act like a protagonist, which is quite good.

After everyone had finished putting on makeup and changing clothes, they arrived at the entrance of the film and television city under the arrangement of the crew.

The staff also prepared video cameras and a large square table covered with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Not only that, there was a large group of people with cameras gathered around, obviously media friends invited by the crew.

"Why aren't you filming and bringing us here?" Liu Qianqian, who had already changed into a pure white dragon girl outfit, also walked to where the crowd gathered.

"Maybe some important person is coming." Zhang Yuan glanced at her and saw that she seemed to be in a good mood.

It turns out that the words of experienced people like Teacher Li Mingqi are the most effective.

However, what Zhang Yuan didn't know was that Liu Qianqian's good mood was partly due to the guidance of Teacher Li Mingqi.

The remaining half was because Zhang Yuan took the trouble to find someone to counsel her.

"who?"

"It must be big, otherwise we wouldn't have to change our clothes and line the streets to welcome you."

As the two were talking, a golden Coaster came slowly approaching from not far away, along the avenue of the film and television base, riding on the winter sunshine.

After stopping steadily in front of the crowd, the side door opened.

First, several people who looked like security guards jumped out of the car.

Then, the distinctive and iconic beard appeared in front of everyone.

"Isn't the bearded guy just trying to show off for himself?" Zhang Yuan felt that if that was the case, it would be too exaggerated.

But he soon observed that after the bearded man got out of the car, he did not walk straight towards the actors.

Instead, he turned around, smiled towards the car, and stretched out his hand as if offering support.

"Wow, what kind of person is this? He still needs the support of a big bearded man."

"Leaders from the province?"

Five seconds later, an octogenarian wearing a black down jacket, with a wide nose, a wide mouth, a full forehead, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and with thin but still jet-black hair, carefully stepped from the steps of the vehicle to the ground of the film and television city.

As soon as this person appeared, everyone present recognized him immediately.

Jin Yong!

Not to mention provincial leaders, even the central leaders are not recognized by most ordinary people.

Not to mention leaders, even actors cannot be known by everyone.

However, the name Jin Yong is truly known to everyone in the Chinese community, and even has a high reputation around the world.

When it comes to martial arts novels, the first thing that comes to mind is Jin Yong.

Even though many readers have their own strongest martial arts author in their hearts, you have to admit that in terms of fame, popularity, and number of readers, Mr. Jin is the world's number one martial arts author.

Although his works are all popular novels, he is worthy of being called a leader of Chinese literature.

"This person is worthy of this honor." Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"I wonder what the bearded man is doing in Hong Kong."

"So he went to invite this person."

"But Mr. Jin is worthy of this event, but such a grand show, with the media and the leading actors all waiting, is probably something that the bearded man did for publicity."

There’s hype around casting, hype around the start of filming, but is there no hype allowed during filming?
The bearded man is well aware of the art of "heat".

When he makes a movie, he always wants to create something new so that his work always attracts a lot of attention.

Mr. Jin was born in 24. It is already the end of 04 and 05, so he is actually eighty years old.

Considering his age, Mr. Jin is in good health.

He can walk on his own, albeit slowly and carefully, with a cane in his hand, but it's already pretty good.

After he got out of the car, an assistant carried a wheelchair down.

Obviously the old man can't walk too far. If the distance is long, he needs someone to push him to save energy.

"Everyone, applaud and welcome our hero Jin!" The staff on the side hurriedly arranged it. For a moment, the entrance of the film and television city was filled with thunderous applause!

Mr. Jin also smiled and raised his hand to greet everyone.

Then, he was led by the bearded man to a square table where writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone were placed.

"Mr. Jin, please give me your calligraphy." After the bearded man said this, he waved to the staff, and someone leaning against the camera immediately came up to take pictures.

"Okay, okay." Mr. Jin cooperated very well and picked up a wolf hair brush. He dipped it in the ink he had already ground, and raised his hand to write on a piece of snow-white rice paper with flying dragons and phoenixes.

【The Return of the Condor Heroes】

After a while, four big words appeared on the paper.

The year and month are mentioned next to it [Jiashen Year, Winter - Jin Yong]

Zhang Yuan took a look at it and it seemed to be based on Yan style, but the characters had a strong personal style.

In terms of professional level, it is certainly not comparable to those of great calligraphers.

But it is already very good among amateurs, and the momentum is good.

Moreover, Mr. Jin also had a good relationship with Mr. Qi Gong and must have consulted the master.

After finishing writing, Mr. Jin took out a small golden cloth bag from his pocket.

He opened the bag, carefully took out a seal that was as yellow as propolis and as smooth as cream, and stamped it on the corner of the paper.

Zhang Yuan squinted and looked at the seal carefully.

The old man kept it so carefully and carried it with him instead of giving it to his assistant.

I guess this seal is no ordinary item.

It looks like it should be Tianhuang.

And it is very likely to be the top-quality product like Tianhuang Jelly.

"The old man is quite stylish." When Zhang Yuan saw such a good thing, the DNA of Huang Cuzi's inheritor was almost activated and his fingers were itching.

But then he thought, who would carry the seal with them when going out?

This is a film crew, not a calligraphy exchange meeting.

"Oh, it must be the big bearded man who asked me to let the old man leave his calligraphy."

"It must have all been arranged in advance."

After all, Mr. Jin is actually a person who cares about the situation.

Generally, when a crew adapting his works asks him for something, he will politely accept the interview and even say nice things.

After all, doing so will benefit him as more crews will buy the copyright of his works to film them.

It is also our duty to cooperate with the "financial sponsor".

If Mr. Jin really had any dissatisfaction, he would not say it to his face. He would only start to complain after returning to Hong Kong.

The old man is very shrewd.

However, it would be difficult for ordinary people to invite him personally to cooperate with the publicity, except for the bearded man.

After all, Big Beard has connections with CCTV. Previously, Mr. Jin gave the copyright of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to CCTV for one yuan.

Of course, a requirement was also raised, which is that the plot cannot be changed arbitrarily.

The bearded man did what he said and the filming was pretty authentic.

"Let me introduce you. This is our Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu..."

Mr. Jin walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Yang Guo is good, handsome and cool. I hope you can play the role of the Condor Hero well."

Zhang Yuan clasped his fists and nodded.

"Little Dragon Girl is very beautiful, youthful and pretty."

"Thank you, Mr. Jin." Liu Qianqian smiled shyly.

"This is our hero Guo." The bearded man pointed at teacher Wang Luoyong who had just arrived today.

When Mr. Jin saw Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian just now, he didn't know how they performed, but he was still very satisfied with their appearance.

After all, in his works, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are both among the top ten or even top five in terms of appearance.

When they arrived at Teacher Wang Luoyong's side, Mr. Jin's face darkened, but then he quickly smiled again.

Teacher Wang’s acting skills are actually very good.

But he had obvious shortcomings in his appearance when playing Guo Jing.

First of all, the image of Guo Jing as a character has always been rather simple in the minds of readers and audiences.

So whether it is Huang Rihua or Li Yapeng, they both have square faces.

Even Julian Cheung has a round face, which makes him look silly and cute.

But Mr. Wang has a pointed chin, which makes him look less domineering.

But what about Teacher Jin? He was dissatisfied in his heart, but still spoke.

"This hero Guo is very cool, not bad, not bad."

The old man muttered to himself.

What's the matter with this bearded man having a grudge against Guo Jing?
Last time I found Li Yapeng, who turned my hero into a "fool".

This time he found someone who doesn’t look impressive enough.

But Qiao Feng found a good one...

In other words, Zhang Yuan didn't know what the old man was thinking.

If I knew that he liked Hu Jun, I would have dragged the old man to watch "Lan Yu".

After everyone was introduced one by one, it was time to take a group photo.

Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian were arranged to sit on the left and right of Mr. Jin, the protagonists.

Mr. Jin is old and cannot stand all the time, so they gave him a chair to sit on and take pictures.

"Xixi, squat down." Seeing this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly whispered to Xiaolongnu.

"Ah?" Liu Qianqian was stunned. She turned around and saw Zhang Yuan kneeling on one knee, leaning against the old man.

"Oh." She responded and squatted down.

Not far away, Liu Xiaoli was watching.

She is not a crew member nor an actor, so naturally she cannot take part in the group photo.

Gazing from a distance, he was startled when he saw Zhang Yuan asking his daughter to squat down, but then he quickly reacted.

"This kid is really alert!"

The old man was sitting and the two were standing, which seemed fine at first glance.

But I was afraid that someone would gossip and say that the two of them did not respect the old man.

God knows what kind of stories the media reporters can make up.

It's all right now. The two of them squatted on both sides of the old man, looking like the younger generation enjoying the favor of their elder.

No one can find fault with it.

My daughter already had a bad reputation on the Internet, with many rumors.

If there are more, I might get depressed again.

"Having him here saves a lot of trouble."

[Received thanks from Liu Xiaoli, dance skills +1! ]

The photo session alone lasted for more than half an hour, allowing the media to take as many photos as they wanted.

But it's not over yet.

After taking the photos, the bearded man led the crew members and the media to a small hill near the film and television city.

There, the crew had already set up the scene to shoot this morning's scenes.

Although it is not high, you still have to climb the mountain.

At this moment, the wheelchair that Mr. Jin brought came in handy.

"Let me do it." Zhang Yuan volunteered to help.

The bearded man immediately gave a thumbs up in his heart.

This kid has a quick brain!
Yang Guo personally pushes the original author Jin Yong. This photo looks so beautiful and harmonious.

"Yes, yes, let him come." The bearded man immediately stepped forward and pushed away Mr. Jin's assistant.

Zhang Yuan didn't go there for taking photos.

If you do something, do a favor, and shut the old man up.

So that I don’t get criticized again when I return to Hong Kong.

Mr. Jin was also a shrewd man. He knew what was going on after just one glance at the bearded man, and did not stop him.

After more than ten or twenty minutes, everyone arrived at the shooting location.

The actors began to prepare and the media set up their cameras to film.

But our little dragon girl was trembling all over.

She is nervous! (End of this chapter)
