Night, on the set.

The staff picked up water guns and fire extinguishers and put out the burning filming scene.

Although Zhang Yuan had just swung his sword to knock away the burning wooden pole, Li Mochou was not burned.

But after watching the replay for more than ten minutes, the older sister still felt weak in the legs and was filled with fear.

Not everyone has a big heart.

Not everyone can accept being injured on the set.

Zhang Yuan was used to it and didn't take it seriously at all.

Meng Guangmei is not a professional actor. For her, being an actor is just a means of transformation and making money, and she does not have much professionalism.

Although she is very dedicated, her main job is still a model, followed by a host, and then an actor.

Therefore, people would naturally avoid this kind of life-threatening work if possible.

After Meng Guangmei recovered a little, he called his agent.

The agent contacted Big Beard again, and Big Beard called Zhao Jian again.

The fat and big-eared Zhao Jian scratched his head helplessly.

Finally, after discussing with Meng Guangmei, the other scenes could be filmed as usual, but the subsequent fire scenes, including the scene where Li Mochou was buried in the sea of ​​fire and love, would be handled by a stand-in.

After Zhao Jian and Meng Guangmei had reached an agreement, they walked towards Zhang Yuan.

"You're okay, aren't you?"

"It's fine?"

"You said it was okay, but there are black spots on the back of your hands."

Xiaolongnu was arguing with Yang Guo.

Liu Qianqian pulled his left hand over. There were many burn scars on the back of his hand caused by sparks. They were very small and could only be seen if you looked closely.

They were all burned by the scattered sparks when the fire pole was picked up and thrown away just now.

"As an actor, this little injury is nothing." Zhang Yuan shook his arm, feeling only a little bit of pain.

He pulled up Liu Qianqian's arm and rolled up his sleeves.

Although her arms were still white and smooth, there were many small wounds and bruises on them.

These are all caused by bumps and bruises during swordplay and action scenes.

“This hurts a lot.”

“This isn’t even an injury.” Liu Qianqian is a stubborn and strong-willed person. She usually doesn’t want to talk about even minor injuries, for fear of delaying the filming and getting scolded by the director.

But he is desperate to lose a dog, which shows that he has high physical resistance but low magical resistance.

"That doesn't count for me." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

Xiao Long Nu also grinned, revealing her neat white teeth and pink gums...

I learned all this from you… Liu Qianqian thought to herself. Seeing that Zhang Yuan never missed a shoot due to a minor injury, she took this as one of the principles for being a professional actor.

"Zhang Yuan, the fire scene later..." At this moment, Zhao Jian came to ask.

"It's okay, whatever happens will be fine." Zhang Yuan replied with a relaxed look on his face.

Zhao Jian finally managed a silly smile from his sad expression.

It has to be him!

"Okay then. I'll have the action team and prop team strengthen security measures."

"It's troublesome."

Zhao Jian waved his hands uncomfortably. His own people made a mistake, but he still complained about it. He felt embarrassed to be polite.

In the following days, Meng Guangmei, who played Li Mochou, also joined their army and ate at the same table.

"Zhang Yuan, I'll show you a move!"

That day, while eating, Sister Meng asked her assistant to bring him a large package.

"Thanks for helping me on the set the other day."

"I still have nightmares about it."

“Well, this is a little token of my appreciation.”

Zhang Yuan wanted to be polite and refuse first, but the other party said.

"This is an imported suitcase of good quality."

"You can bring it with you to use on the set during your normal work. It's quite convenient."

Seeing that the other party did not give him some tacky brand-name bags, watches or the like, but instead took the time to buy him something practical, he gladly accepted it.

"Thank you."

Zhang Yuan knew that this person was careless and had average intelligence and abilities, but he had the advantage of having debuted early and having some connections.

However, in a few years, he will be severely criticized by mainland audiences for inappropriate remarks on a program in Taiwan.

In fact, what she said was nothing more than the worrying sanitary conditions in the mainland, especially public toilets.

In this regard, she can't be said to be completely nonsense.

But what almost got her banned was that she said on the Baodao program that when she went to appear on CCTV, the other party basically didn't pay her.

How can you say such a big truth nonsense?
Doesn’t the “Abbot” know that he is a narrow-minded person? He wants to leave after offending him.

"Zhang Yuan, please leave me your phone number. Come to me if you need anything in the future." Meng Guangmei said to him seriously.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan immediately took out his cell phone.

Although this person's resources in the entertainment industry are average, he has good connections in the fashion circle, which is somewhat useful.

After leaving his number, he spoke again.

"If you have investment needs, you can also find me."

"My boyfriend is an expert in this area."

"Your pay has to make money to earn more."

"Real estate and finance in Europe and the United States have been doing well in recent years. If you have any ideas, I can help you."

This person's expression was sincere, and he really wanted to give him something in return.

"I've also heard that the real estate and financial markets in Europe and the United States are doing very well recently." Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting at the same table with her daughter, also replied.

She has to look after the money her daughter earns and find places to invest it, and she can't spend it carelessly.

Moreover, she herself owns state-owned property in Lighthouse, so she is very clear about this matter.

However, the Liu family's mother and daughter have Boss Chen to help them plan their investments, so they don't have to worry.

But although Sister Meng was sincere, Zhang Yuan suddenly showed an expression that was difficult to maintain.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been exposed.

"You also help me with my finances..."

The reason why Zhang Yuan was in a difficult situation was because the so-called investor, or asset manager, by Sister Meng was her old friend and current boyfriend, an Italian.

Meng Guangmei's original boyfriend was Wu Dawei, the famous ABC host. It was this man who instigated Xie Gongzi to pursue Wang Feide.

It was also this ex-boyfriend who brought her into the hosting circle.

However, Wu Dawei was not a peaceful person. Soon, the two separated because he had an affair with other people.

At this time, the Italian named Crado, who had known Sister Meng for a long time, took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked in.

Everyone knows that when it comes to romance and flirting, Italians and French are the most professional in the whole of Europe.

The jeweler quickly won over Sister Meng.

Sister Meng also felt at ease in gradually handing over her property to her boyfriend who was good at business, and was very supportive of his business. Later, she even put almost all of her property in the name of his investment company.

And then... no more.

The Italian used her money to live a life of luxury and debauchery, and his so-called investment was probably just a Ponzi scheme.

Anyway, just like most Ponzi schemes, it collapsed during the financial crisis in 08.

Almost all of Sister Meng’s income from work over the past decade was taken away, and she also persuaded many friends in the circle to invest for her boyfriend, resulting in a total loss of more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

What shocked Zhang Yuan was not only that this person was so stupid, but also that this was top-level love-brain behavior.

What surprised him even more was Sister Meng's ability to make money. 400 million of the money was her own.

This person is truly stupid and rich.

Zhang Yuan didn't want to get involved.

After all, although they don't have bad intentions, they can indeed cheat people.

But then he thought about it.

He is so stupid and yet so rich. It would be a waste if his money was cheated away by foreigners.

It would be better to do me a favor. Who knows, maybe someday when I’m short of money, I can ask this lady to help me adjust my money.

Well, let’s just consider it as a good relationship.

Moreover, this person later had a close relationship with Huayi and even signed a contract with her.

And through Huayi's relationship, she met the CEO of World Trade Center and eventually got married.

The World Trade Center is considered an expert in China's real estate industry. It is not a bad thing to be kind to this big sister.

At least I can get some projects for Zhao Decai.

He then put on a smiling face and asked the other party in detail about overseas investment.

Sister Meng became excited when she mentioned this.

The early returns of a Ponzi scheme are very substantial, otherwise how could they get the money?

When she said this, not only ordinary people, but even actors like Chen Zihan who had saved a lot of money were somewhat tempted. Even Liu Xiaoli listened carefully and thought it was not bad.

With Zhang Yuan responding and praising him, everyone naturally felt itchy.

It was just that Liu Qianqian was still young and not very interested, but the others were very excited after listening to it.

Even Yang Mi, who was almost the same age as Xiao Longnu, had shining eyes. When it came to money, he was very interested.

After dinner, Zhang Yuan said that he would do some research on his own and would definitely look for her if he had some spare money.

Sister Meng happily agreed, thinking that she could repay a favor and help her boyfriend get more investment, which was a win-win situation.

After dinner, when the crowd dispersed, Zhang Yuan called out to the mother and daughter of the Liu family.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Liu Qianqian asked with a smile.

"I'm looking for your mother."

"I'm asking you nicely, why are you swearing at me?" Xiao Longnu suddenly became angry.

"No, I'm really looking for your mother, Aunt Liu. I have something to tell you." Zhang Yuan nodded at Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her with some confusion.

She thought, what could possibly happen if Zhang Yuan didn't look for her daughter but for her?

"Aunt Liu, what do you think of what Teacher Meng Guangmei said about overseas investment?"

Oh, you came to ask for my opinion... Liu Xiaoli thought that after all, she was older and had more experience, so it was not strange that Zhang Yuan asked her for advice.

"I think it's a good idea. It's not easy for you young people to make money. Instead of spending it carelessly on food and drink, a planned investment is a good way out."

"You bought a property in the capital for investment, and you can also try overseas. Diversifying your investments will be safer."

Liu Xiaoli gave her advice sincerely.

"Oh, I see... But I think there are some problems with what Meng Guangmei said just now."

"What's wrong?" Aunt Liu thought that Zhang Yuan was the most shrewd and quick-witted person on weekdays. He was the first to avoid bad things and the first to jump into good things.

In terms of intelligence, Liu Xiaoli recognized him.

"First of all, the profits promised by the other party are a bit too high."

“Secondly, it is not convenient for me to supervise overseas companies.”

"I always feel that this is a bit too good, too good."

Liu Xiaoli frowned, thinking back to what Meng Guangmei had just said, and she also sensed something was wrong.

"I think you have been abroad and have suitable connections. Can you help me investigate the other party?"

"If that's okay, I'd really like to invest some."

"If there is a problem... then we can talk about it."

Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and nodded. She was a little tempted just now, but now that she had calmed down, she felt something was a little strange after hearing what Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay, I'll go and take care of it."

She certainly has overseas connections.

Not to mention others, Liu Xixi's agent, Mr. Chen, is very familiar with overseas capital and has extensive connections.

There is a high probability that Liu Xiaoli will ask Boss Chen for help.

After saying that, Zhang Yuan said goodbye to the mother and daughter.

He knew very well that this matter could only be done through the hands of a third party.

In the days that followed, the drama was still filmed, the work was still done, and the crew was still focusing on the same drama.

It would be difficult to come to a conclusion on the issue of Sister Meng's asset manager in a short period of time, but Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry.

But the weather is getting colder and colder, and the temperature is about to drop below zero.

This year is very cold.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the year. When I looked at the calendar again, it was New Year's Eve.

"Guo Jing is a very pedantic person. You don't need to pay attention to him."

"As for Rong'er, she married the man of her dreams, so she doesn't care about other people's suffering."

Beside a clear spring, Yu Chenghui, who looks like an immortal, is wearing a green coat. The Huang Yaoshi he plays is obviously an otherworldly sage at first glance.

This line is from the original novel. It can be said that in the entire "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Huang Lao Xie is the one who sees through feelings the most clearly.

However, he could see through his daughter, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, but he could not see through himself and his beloved disciple Mei Chaofeng... The most difficult thing for a person is to see through himself.

Zhang Yuan, who was acting next to him, took off his shirt, revealing his slender and strong upper body.

It looks beautiful, but when the sub-zero breeze blows, the wind brings with it the salty and chilly smell of Xiangshan seafood, which penetrates straight into people's bones.

Zhang Yuan was also one of those "big guys who sleep on a cold kang, relying entirely on the strong fire", and he just endured it like this.

"Card!"

"Let's call it a day, everyone, go celebrate the New Year!" The assistant director waved his hand, and the production manager nearby immediately handed Zhang Yuan a military coat.

Seeing that he remained calm, Yu Chenghui nodded slightly.

"He has good physical fitness and is a good seedling."

As Big Beard said before joining the group, there is a half-day holiday on New Year's Day.

Of course, people like Liu Qianqian took half a day off, paid the crew 100,000 yuan in compensation, and flew to Wuhan to celebrate the New Year with her grandparents last night.

People really don't mind this.

The remaining actors are in a miserable situation. What can they do in half a day?

"Mr. Yu, what are your plans for tonight?"

"Eat something and drink some wine in the room, or you can come join us." The old man knew that he could drink a lot, so he invited him.

"If you're alright, come eat with me. I've asked someone to prepare the meal."

Now that he had some money and time was tight, and knowing that everyone was at a loss, he asked Cao Jianjun and others to prepare meals early and simply set up dozens of tables in the film and television city.

Anyway, as the leading actor, it's reasonable to treat him to a meal.

By the way, you can also grab some.

What's more, by doing this, you can get a group of people together to eat and drink, which is quite lively and better than hiding in a room and drinking alone.

The bearded Yu Min, Zhao Jian and a few others had gone out for a social event early and didn't come in the morning.

The hundreds of staff members left on the crew could only celebrate the New Year on the crew like everyone else.

There were also more than 200 extras stranded in the film and television city. Zhang Yuan invited all of them to have fun together with the people.

What matters is the atmosphere.

By five o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

But the main road of the film and television city is dotted with lights and is very bustling.

The popularity brought by hundreds of crew members drinking and playing finger-guessing games and a dozen frying pans simmering up and down temporarily dispelled the winter chill.

"Come, let's pay tribute to our Yang Guo. He is the one who gave us the atmosphere of the New Year!" When the cold dishes were served, the assistant director of the crew stood on a chair and shouted loudly with the electric loudspeaker usually used by the crew.

Damn it!
The bearded Yu Min and his gang had all slipped away early, leaving only a bunch of us young guys to guard the crew.

If Zhang Yuan hadn't arranged a dinner party, we might have only been able to eat instant noodles in our room on this New Year's Day.

The assistant director knew that Yu Min and Zhang Yuan didn't get along, so he didn't dare say much.

Since those people were not here today, he spoke directly to me.

"Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu is not here today, are you lonely?" The charming Chen Zihan turned around and said with a smile.

"It's boring if Xiao Long Nu doesn't drink." Zhang Yuan raised his glass: "Guo Fu is better."

"Hehehehe..."

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, I'd like to toast you as well." Yang Mi, who played Guo Xiang, stood up and held the cup.

Today she is wearing a snow-white down jacket, looking quite pretty.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, she had to spend the New Year alone on the crew, and her parents didn't come to see her... Zhang Yuan knew that it was not easy for her.

Yang Mi thought so too. She would call her parents in the evening. If Zhang Yuan didn’t arrange a dinner together, she would have to spend the New Year alone.

This is the first time she is not at home for the New Year.

Especially when compared with Xiaolongnu, who is almost the same age, he feels even more desolate.

My mother is with me not only during the Chinese New Year, but also every day on weekdays.

"Wait a moment."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Yuan raised his hand to stop her.

Yang Mi's heart sank. Could it be that he didn't want to toast with me?

It's so embarrassing to do it in public.

"You are not an adult yet?" Zhang Yuan asked unexpectedly.

"Eighteen years old." Yang Mi replied in a low voice.

"That means you are underage. Put the glass down and change the drink."

"You're a girl, not even an adult yet, how can you drink alcohol outside?" Zhang Yuan said, picking up a bottle of coconut juice from Coco Tree, which he had been drinking since he was a child.

"Hey." Guo Xiang laughed, and white hot air came out of her mouth.

[Received thanks from Yang Mi, +1 for observing words and expressions! ]

This New Year's Eve without my family around, doesn't seem so lonely anymore... (End of this chapter)
