Chapter 392: Suggestions and Not Accepting Suggestions

After Yu Min arrived, the atmosphere in Zhang Yuan's room gradually became tense.

A group of actresses also felt that it was unreasonable for the director to make trouble when the leading actor was sick.

These people had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, so they all spoke up for Zhang Yuan and made a few complaints.

Even Liu Xiaoli frowned.

She felt that this was not a good idea.

Some things make sense, but they don't make sense.

Yes, an actor’s illness will affect filming and will indeed cause financial losses to the crew.

But the actor fell ill because of filming, and he hasn't recovered yet, but you come to settle the score with him. This is really inhumane.

But after all, he is the director, and even if you are the leading actors, you are his "subordinates". Complaining a few words is already the limit, and you can't do anything more.

"Just follow the rules." Zhang Yuan smiled and agreed on a solution with Yu Min.

Like Yu Min, several female actors looked at him with surprise.

The bearded man was very stingy, so the pay for the leading actors in the crew was very pitiful, and Zhang Yuan did not hide it from these people.

They knew that our leading male and female actors only earned 8,000 per episode, and after several months of filming, their total income was only more than 200,000 but less than 300,000.

If they breached the contract for one day, they would have to pay a compensation of 200,000 yuan, and if they took a day and a half off, they would have to owe the crew money.

Zhang Yuan said to follow the rules, does that mean he doesn't plan to go ahead with it?
Yu Min never thought that he would be so decisive.

Instead, this sentence put me in a state of turmoil, unable to get up or down.

"Okay, since you are willing to follow the rules, then follow the rules." He could only say with a frown, and then, under the stimulation of everyone's harsh eyes, he walked out of the room.

"Are you really planning to pay compensation?" Chen Zihan asked anxiously when he saw the director leaving.

"Yu Min is not in charge of the crew's money. The bearded man has the final say." Zhang Yuan didn't care much.

If any other director had talked to him nicely, explained the pros and cons, and asked him to perform despite his illness, he certainly would not have refused.

As an actor, it is my duty to cooperate with the director.

But Yu Min's behavior was clearly an attempt to sabotage someone.

In fact, Yu Min is like a middle-level leader in a large company. He himself has a strong sense of crisis around him, so he attaches great importance to the so-called "submission."

Whether the actors obey him or not is very important to him. It concerns his status and can easily stimulate his sense of crisis.

And middle-level leaders are the class that likes to play tricks on people the most.

The bearded man is like the big boss of the group. He doesn't bother to care about minor problems, but when he really takes action, it's a killing move.

The bearded man will never argue with you. Once he makes a decision, he will either let you stay and do a good job, or fire you directly, just like he fired Zhou Xiaowen. He is willing to bear any consequences.

Yu Min is the type of person who is afraid of everything and is conflicted.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will handle this small problem." Zhang Yuan looked relaxed and persuaded those who came to see him to leave.

"Zhang Yuan, have a good rest. I'll come back to see you." Before leaving, Liu Qianqian smiled and waved at him.

Of all people, she was the only one who was not worried about Yu Min.

"The worst-case scenario is just a few hundred thousand dollars in compensation."

"It depends on whether the bearded man will compete with me over a few hundred thousand dollars."

"Anyway, he should know that I'm not a gentleman."

"If I hold a grudge, it will be all day long."

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.

The next day, Zhang Yuan changed into his costume and came to the set.

He said he was not afraid of fighting scenes and needed a rest.

But he never said he couldn't come to the set.

It's Yu Min's problem that he is ruthless. I can't really skip work out of spite, otherwise it will become my problem.

He doesn't need to say any lines. When others are filming fighting scenes, he just watches and acts as a human backdrop.

"Zhang Yuan, are you feeling better?" Zhao Jian asked with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's better now, but I'm still a little weak and don't have much strength. It may be difficult for me to perform in the fighting scenes."

"It's okay, it's okay. You should rest for a few days if you are sick." Zhao Jiangang just learned about Yu Min and him from others.

"I'll adjust the fighting scenes. I think it will give you two or three days of rest."

"That's enough. Thank you Director Zhao." Zhang Yuan said politely.

"It's nothing. With such a large crew, it's normal for everyone to have headaches or fevers."

He chatted for a few more words, then turned around and came to Yu Min.

"Old Yu, you didn't do this very well."

"He said to follow the rules." Yu Min said as he looked at the shooting plan without raising his head.

"Okay, have you told Lao Zhang about this?" Zhao Jian knew that he was narrow-minded and was too lazy to talk to him more, so he changed the topic and asked.

"What do you say to Lao Zhang? Can't I control the actors in the crew?"

Yu Min raised her eyes and said, "What a lousy actor Lao Zhang found for me. If it was Nie Yuan, this wouldn't have happened."

“Besides, Lao Zhang is not here either. Isn’t he going to look for Ma Zhongjun?”

"It seems that he will be back in the next two days." Zhao Jian said while thinking.

You still can't let go of your old friend Nie Yuan, right... Zhao Jian knew what was going on, and this matter also made him feel suffocated.

"Others can manage it, but he may not." After getting the answer, Zhao Jian instinctively stepped back and reminded: "Be careful."

"What should I be careful about?"

"I don't know, but... be careful." Zhao Jian told the truth.

Zhao Jianxin said you still don’t understand him.

It’s best to use a filter when you drink water in the future to avoid choking.

Don't let Zhang Yuan find an opportunity. Once he gets a chance, this guy will definitely torture you to death.

Don’t you think about how he made Big Beard give up Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming?

I advised you but you didn't listen. I can't afford to offend you, but I can afford to hide from you.

Zhao Jian immediately ran to the side and distanced himself from Yu Min.

The filming lasted for two days. Every day, Zhang Yuan changed his clothes and put on makeup, and came to the set. Like the extras, he stood there all day, watching the other actors filming.

Yu Min ignored him either.

Anyway, I'm here. If you don't arrange other literary work for me, that's your business.

"Zhang Yuan, are you feeling better now?" Zhao Jian would come over every day to ask about his situation.

"Much better. Although I'm not as energetic as I was normally, I've recovered about 60% of my normal state."

"Take another day of medicine tomorrow and go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup, and it should be almost done."

"Good, good." Zhao Jian listened and breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had recovered, he could shoot the action scenes.

"Oh, by the way, there is a scene this afternoon. It's an action scene, but it's not a fighting scene. In your current condition, can you come?" Zhao Jian asked kindly.

Zhang Yuan thought that if Yu Min had the same attitude as him, he would definitely cooperate with him.

"What play is it? Let me listen. If it's not a big deal, I'll act it out."

"Hehe, okay." Zhao Jian was happy to hear him say that. He thought that Zhang Yuan's attitude towards work was still very reliable. As for why, Old Yu just didn't get along with him.

"That's right, the crew's shooting plan is."

"After the duel, Xiao Long Nu and King Jin Lun fought to a draw. Guo Jing fought back the opponent, and Yang Guo's provocative words made King Jin Lun and his party leave in anger."

"The Beggars' Sect and other martial arts heroes were overjoyed when they saw this. They gathered around and lifted Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu up into the air to celebrate."

"What you need to act out is to let the extras abandon you."

"Actually, you don't have to move, and it's not that difficult." Zhao Jian explained carefully.

"Oh, I see. That should be fine."

"That's great. I'll make some arrangements and try to finish the shoot today."

Zhao Jian will make arrangements right away.

Zhang Yuan hugged his shoulders and went to the side to rest.

But while resting, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with Zhao Jian.

But the plot is wrong.

"Why does this plot sound so familiar?" Zhang Yuan pondered as he took out the cigarette box that he had been choking on from under the belt of his ancient costume.

He took out one and put it under his nose and smelled it.

He didn't have any important roles these days, so he put the cigarette case and lighter under his belt.

But after all, he was working on the set, so he just sniffed it and didn't smoke it.

"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan." At this moment, the clear and sweet voice of Xiaolongnu came to his ears, calling him.

"I heard you're feeling better now. Are you going to film with me later?"

"with you?"

"It's the scene of being thrown into the sky." Liu Qianqian said with a smile: "I often watch singers being lifted up and thrown around by fans at concerts, but I have never experienced this before."

"Oh..." Hearing this, Zhang Yuan frowned suddenly.

He knew why this plot was so familiar.

I also know where the problem is!
In this scene, not only he was thrown up, but also Xiaolongnu!

A group of men supported Xiaolongnu's body.

Some supported her legs, and some supported her waist.

Some supported her back, and some held her hands.

There were dozens of hands under her body, and the owners of the hands were all young men.

And she is a gorgeous actress.

This is the extremely famous "dirty hands" incident!
In fact, Xiaolongnu’s costume is quite thick, with many layers of costumes.

It's winter again, and Liu Qianqian is wearing warm clothes underneath.

If you really touch it, you can't feel any substantial content, at most you can just feel the general outline.

Besides, she doesn't have a prominent figure like Yang Mi, so you can't touch anything.

but!

This kind of thing has a far greater psychological impact on an underage girl than a physical one.

Besides, how could she let others touch her when I was here?

As long as I'm alive, I can't let this happen!
I haven't touched it yet, how can I let others touch it?

"Zhang Yuan, what's wrong?" Seeing that he was frowning, Liu Qianqian raised her fair little hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Nothing, I just think there's something wrong with this plot."

"question?"

"I need to talk to the director."

"Well, you said there is a problem, then there must be a problem, I believe you." Liu Qianqian raised her fist to support him.

Zhang Yuan felt troubled.

Even if we know about this, it will be difficult to deal with.

how do you say?
Someone wants to touch Xiaolongnu!
How do you know someone wants to touch it?
After much thought, he decided to find a roundabout way to save the country.

When he came near the director team, Zhao Jian looked at him with some surprise. He hadn't come to see the director for a few days.

"Director Zhao, Director Yu, there is something I want to talk about."

Yu Min glanced at him and ignored him, but Zhao Jian still responded with a smile.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Regarding the celebration scene afterwards, I felt it was a little inappropriate."

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan felt that the best solution was to delete this scene directly so that there would be no possibility of the incident happening.

"what happened?"

"According to the book, Xiao Long Nu is pure and innocent, tolerant and open-minded."

"Although I am tolerant by nature, I live in an ancient tomb and I am a woman in ancient times, so I am conservative by nature."

"How could I let a bunch of men I don't know hold me up and touch my body?"

"This is a celebratory scene, we need to exaggerate the emotions." Yu Min immediately retorted: "Besides, we are children of Jianghu, these are nothing."

But Zhang Yuan spoke again.

"The most important thing about Xiao Long Nu is her detachment from the mundane world."

"At the beginning of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Jin Yong wrote the poem "No Worldly Thoughts" for Little Dragon Girl through Qiu Chuji's mouth, praising her natural beauty and noble character."

"How could a person like Yang Chun Bai Xue let any other man get close to her except her beloved Yang Guo?"

In fact, in the earliest version, Xiaolongnu was not so noble, but Mr. Jin made continuous revisions in the later period and created such a special heroine.

In the early version, Xiaolongnu was stranded in the Unrequited Valley, and after spending a long time with Gongsun Ce, she sighed in her heart.

"After spending a few days with him, I found that he was dignified and knowledgeable, and he did not seem like a country boy. He was also a man of both literary and martial talents, so I could not help but be attracted to him. I secretly wanted to spend my whole life with him, that's all..."

At that time, Xiaolongnu thought Gongsun Zhi was a good man and was willing to commit herself to him emotionally.

Later, after careful revision, the character was changed to one who was only grateful to Gongsun Zhi for saving his life, without any other feelings, and was devoted only to Guo'er.

Therefore, many conspiracy theorists who don’t like Xiaolongnu love to bring up the early versions and insist that Xiaolongnu is a "slut" who not only slept with Yin Zhiping, but also Gongsun Zhi. They even distort the plot and say that she slept with the Old Boy... These people should be the same group of people who spread obscene rumors on the Internet all day long. When they see a pure and innocent girl, they have to slander her. Only then do they feel comfortable.

Completely disregarding Mr. Jin's later refinements and corrections.

In fact, let alone Xiaolongnu, Yang Guo’s character in the early days was very exaggerated.

Originally, Yang Guo was described as having a strange fragrance coming from his armpits.

Huang Rong asked unintentionally, her cheeks flushed, recalling her first wedding night with Brother Jing...

What kind of plot is this?

Moreover, this description not only makes Yang Guo's feelings for other women seem cheap.

It has become a physical attraction rather than a psychological liking.

It also makes Huang Rong look very dissolute.

In addition, if Yang Guo really has a strange fragrance under his armpits, it will cause a plot bug.

He has this smell, and Xiaolongnu must be aware of it.

When Yin Zhiping raped her, could she not tell whether the man was Guo'er?

Therefore, Mr. Jin made substantial revisions in the later stages in order to make both the male and female protagonists more in line with the theme of "love".

It must be pure "love", love without any impurities.

Zhang Yuan told the story in a leisurely manner, leaving Yu Min speechless.

Zhao Jian shook his head as he listened.

"Even if Old Yu had ten mouths, he still couldn't beat Zhang Yuan."

"The key is that what he said is well-reasoned and he has read a lot of books."

"I have not only read the original novel, but also all versions of the original novel. What else can you say?"

Liu Qianqian, who arrived shortly after, also looked at him with admiration.

"Wow, he's amazing."

She thought that she had read the novel The Return of the Condor Heroes two or three times, and would still read it from time to time after filming a movie.

But it was far less profound and detailed than what Zhang Yuan knew.

After being stunned for a long time, Yu Min realized that Zhang Yuan was right. Based on the characters' personalities, there were indeed some unreasonable aspects of this scene.

But he had to shoot!
"This is the decision of the crew. As an actor, you just need to cooperate." He said this.

Zhang Yuan nodded as if he was not surprised. Without saying another word, he lowered his head and walked aside.

He was silently searching for something in the bushes.

After a long time, he found a stone of suitable size and very handy from the weeds and put it on his body.

"Zhang Yuan, don't be sad." Liu Qianqian came to his side and looked up at him: "I know you are right."

"It's the director who doesn't know what he's talking about."

Xiao Longnu comforted him.

"It's okay." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile: "By the way, there are so many people, so you should wear more clothes."

"Are you worried about me?" she asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes."

"You..." She didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would rarely hit a straight ball.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do. I nodded with a red face, ran to the side, and discussed with my mother to put on a few more clothes.

On the other side, Zhao Jian was talking to Yu Min.

"Lao Yu, what that kid said makes sense..." He just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the other party.

"It's useless even if you make sense. We have to shoot this scene." Yu Min had no intention of negotiating.

"He didn't cooperate with the acting, and he wanted to delete the scene. Why?"

"You..." Zhao Jian frowned when he saw that he was getting excited about his personal emotions again.

"Besides that, this scene is considered a big one, and the effect is better with more people."

"Lao Zhang has called me. He and Lao Ma are on their way and will be here soon."

“This kind of large-scale scene can just show Ma Zhongjun the scale and strength of our crew.”

"It will also help Lao Zhang to get more money. Do you understand?"

After he said that, Zhao Jian shut up.

As for the matter concerning the bearded man's purse, he didn't dare to say much.

After all, the bearded man lived his money on his ribs, and even a copper coin had to be pulled out of his body with tweezers, leaving only skin and flesh.

He will target anyone who prevents him from making money.

Zhou Xiaowen is a lesson for us.

In this way, time slowly passed and it was time to shoot that scene... (End of this chapter)
