beep, beep...

Zhang Yuan, who had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, was resting in the hotel room.

Even after washing it several times, there is always a smell of motor oil on the body that cannot be completely eliminated.

"Not bad." He smiled.

Just as Mr. Wang Luoyong said, if an actor has a bad smell on him, it will easily distract himself and his opponent from the role.

Similarly, he now has an indelible "character flavor" about him, which actually helps to get into the character.

He had just sat down on the sofa and opened the script to study it when there was a knock on the door.

He thought that he didn't have many acquaintances in the crew, and who would come to see him so late at night?

After opening the door, I remembered that I did have some acquaintances.

The person standing at the door now is the only familiar person.

"Sister Yuanyuan?"

When Gao Yuanyuan heard the word "sister" after her name, her originally excited brows suddenly gloomy.

"I am older than him..."

Gao Yuanyuan thought that men all like young girls.

Besides, he always called me "Yuanyuan" before, but now he suddenly added the word "sister", which made him seem more distant than before.

"Does he dislike me?" She felt a little uneasy in her heart, but then she thought.

"No, Cheng Hao is also older than him!"

"We are the same age!"

"That means that being a few years older is not a problem for him."

Thinking of this, she mustered up her courage and put on a bright smile.

"I came to see you and catch up." She pulled out a red plastic bag from behind her back and said, "I bought some fruit. Let's eat together."

"Okay, come in."

Zhang Yuan welcomed her into the room and closed the door with some doubt.

"What's going on..."

Zhang Yuan has a principle when treating women.

That is like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait.

Even if it is a short time together, it must be based on the premise that both animals like each other.

But on the first day I arrived, Yao Anlian, who played Qinghong's father in the crew, gave me a blast.

He thought that it was just like when he learned that Alyssa Chia was getting married, he resolutely cut off his close relationship with her.

No normal person would want to be involved in a complicated triangle relationship.

That's why he turned to "conservative treatment" for Gao Yuanyuan, and became more cautious in his communication and addressing her.

But knowing that I had a close partner, she still made the ambiguous move of coming to my room and being alone with a woman, which made Zhang Yuan a little confused.

"Are you reading the script?"

"Correct."

After the two of them sat down, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at the script on the table.

"You work so hard. You're still working after the show."

"Although I haven't seen you for two years, I'm very happy to see that you're getting better and better." She chatted with Zhang Yuan in a standard way, saying these words between friends.

But as the conversation went on, his expression and topic gradually changed.

"I heard from Teacher Yao yesterday that you and Cheng Hao..." She asked, tidying her short hair with her fingers and turning her head away pretending to be nonchalant.

"How are you related?"

"The relationship is pretty good." Zhang Yuan replied frankly.

"Is she nice to you?"

Ok?
What kind of problem is this?

Hiss...why does it taste wrong?

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and replied tentatively.

"Do you want her to be nice to me, or not?"

When you encounter a question that is difficult to answer, just throw the question back to the other party.

"I..." Yuanyuan hesitated: "Of course I hope you live a happy life."

Then she took out some fruit from the bag.

He handed Zhang Yuan a peach and peeled a banana to eat.

The fruit you chose... Zhang Yuan felt a little powerless to complain, and at the same time he felt that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly wrong.

"Of course, if you are unhappy, you can also tell me." She said again while chewing a banana.

You still hope that I am unhappy.

"This Zhou Zhiruo's train of thought seems to be different from that of ordinary people..." Zhang Yuan vaguely sensed something.

"After all, we have a deep friendship, and you've even been injured for me." As he said this, he took her arm and held it in his own hand.

It was as if he was looking at the scar on his wrist, but he took the opportunity to rub it gently.

Is it possible that I, Song Qingshu, am going to make a comeback in life?
No, he had already counterattacked a long time ago. After all, he had subdued Zhao Min several times.

"It's rare that the troubles in my heart are the source of motivation for her?" Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment and recalled some rumors related to her.

This person seems to be like Prime Minister Cao, with a special attack bonus to a certain attribute.

"I see..." Zhang Yuan finally understood.

"Actually, I haven't seen you for two years, and I have a lot to say to you."

"Okay, let's have a good chat." Gao Yuanyuan smiled immediately when she saw that his attitude was much more friendly than when she first arrived.

"It's just that this chair is a bit hard and uncomfortable to sit on. How about we ..."

Zhang Yuan was just about to say, why don’t we sit on the bed and talk.

Then I heard another knock on the door.

He shook his head helplessly, got up and opened the door.

After the door opened, a seductive woman with a worldly air, ordinary looks but revealing clothes immediately appeared.

"Handsome man, would you like some service?"

Zhang Yuan: …

Your service just interrupted my service.

He thought about it and realized that they were staying in the suburbs, in a hotel, not a star-rated hotel in the city center.

The management was rather chaotic in those days, and it was not uncommon to have people knocking on doors and stuffing small cards into them in the middle of the night.

The other person was carrying a small box, and I didn't know what was inside.

But I guess they are all “good stuff”.

However, he definitely couldn't let the other party in.

First of all, Gao Yuanyuan is in the house.

Secondly, if it was a trap, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.

He quickly replied seriously.

"No service required."

"Tsk, young man, you're so handsome, I'll give you a discount." The older sister leaned against the door and licked her lips.

Zhang Yuan felt a little cold.

It’s hard to tell who will suffer the loss between us.

"unnecessary."

"I'll give you another exciting program." The other party continued to sell.

"Who is it?" This time, Yuanyuan popped her head out of the house.

The woman took a look and immediately snorted coldly.

"Tsk, so the service is already available? Why are you trying to be serious with me?" After saying that, the flashy guy walked away with a twist of his waist.

Zhang Yuan: …

service?

If there is any special service provided by someone with Gao Yuanyuan's looks, I'll just order a dozen!

"Hehe, people will even give you a discount, you're really outstanding." Gao Yuanyuan said with a mischievous smile.

Zhang Yuan was speechless again.

Can this be considered an advantage?

The two returned to their seats and started chatting again.

The process just now was interrupted and now we have to start from the beginning.

"This chair is too hard, how about we go..."

Zhang Yuan's topic turned to "go sit on the bed", but just like before, before he could open his mouth, there was a burst of loud noise outside the room.

"what!"

"How dare you sleep with my wife!"

"Let's go to the police station!"

"No……"

Both of them were stunned. Zhang Yuan quickly leaned on the door and looked out through the peephole.

I saw that in a nearby room, several big men were dragging an old man out by his legs, and he was still struggling on the ground.

Following behind these people was the charming woman who had just knocked on his door.

After hearing the noise, almost all the rooms on this floor opened their doors, and people would occasionally look outside.

Not far from Zhang Yuan, about three or four rooms away, Wang Xiaoshuai also poked his head out.

The person who was being dragged on the ground shouted when he saw him appear.

"Director Wang, save me!"

And he’s from the crew... Zhang Yuan covered his face.

"Oh, so the show that we were preparing for was GANKed by a few big guys!" He didn't even need to look carefully to know that his previous guess was confirmed.

This woman is really setting up a honey trap.

The key is that the crew and my brother were really fooled.

Gao Yuanyuan was not stupid either. She also looked through the cat's eye for a while and then she figured out the general situation.

She immediately panicked.

Because of this commotion, the entire crew had to come out.

Wouldn’t someone find out that I’m in Zhang Yuan’s room by then?

Normally she wouldn't be afraid, but she was still hooking Wang Xiaoshuai.

She pulled Zhang Yuan over and put him in front of her.

Then he opened the door in the chaos and blended into the crowd.

"It doesn't look like this is her first time sneaking out of the room. She looks quite experienced."

Zhang Yuan thought, this woman looks innocent, but her actions make her look like a veteran.

That’s good too. Being proficient has its advantages, and it saves you from any psychological burden afterwards.

A chaotic night passed.

In the end, Zhang Yuan failed to get Zhou Zhiruo to go to bed with him.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaoshuai held a meeting with everyone on the bus that was transporting the actors.

"Behave yourself for the rest of the night!"

"Tighten my belt!"

"Whoever does this to me again, get out!"

Give it to Wang Xiao handsome!

I was blackmailed for 50,000 yuan last night.

I almost got beaten.

Wang Xiao sat down handsomely.

Then his expression changed and he showed a look of relief.

"Luckily I didn't let that woman into the house."

The director almost got involved in the show...

After being scolded by the director, the car fell completely quiet and everyone remained silent.

Zhang Yuan covered his face with the script and prepared to take a break before starting work.

Just to his right, separated only by a corridor inside the car, Qin Hao was holding an entertainment magazine.

His eyes trembled and he glanced at Zhang Yuan beside him from time to time.

Because the front page of the magazine was the recently popular "Kung Fu" which had just been released.

1.2 million in the Mainland and 6600 million in Hong Kong.

In China alone, it earned nearly 200 million yuan at the box office.

You should know that the total box office of the entire Chinese-language film market in 05 was only billion.

Master Xing did 1/10 of the work by himself!

Moreover, this film also has overseas channels of Columbia Pictures, and this part of the box office is not included.

If we calculate the total revenue in a few years, it should be more than 4 million!
For Master Xing, it is normal to have such results.

Moreover, the movie "Kung Fu" is really awesome. Even if you watch it again twenty years later, it will still be a classic and will not fade with time.

What made Qin Hao's heart tremble was not the movie "Kung Fu".

Instead, after introducing "Kung Fu", the magazine followed it with an article introducing Zhang Yuan.

“A new star with 300 million box office!”

This is the title of the article.

As in later times, news magazines in those days also enjoyed using clickbait titles.

The so-called 1.2 million box office is the 1.8 million from "A World Without Thieves" plus the more than million from "Kung Fu".

The numbers are correct, but Zhang Yuan is neither the director nor the leading actor.

In both films, he only played supporting roles.

Just like those guys in later generations who call themselves billionaire actors, as long as they show up, the box office revenue can be attributed to them.

Those guys are shameless and try to flatter themselves.

But the magazine was looking for topics to increase sales without consulting him, so he was passive.

But this title is enough to stimulate Qin Hao, the proud son of the Central Academy of Drama.

The movies that other people starred in have a box office of over 300 million, but I can barely afford to eat.

That slut also knocked on Qin Hao's door last night.

It's not that he looked down on the other person, he just escaped the disaster because he was poor and had no money.

The article also details most of the works Zhang Yuan has participated in since his debut.

The more Qin Hao looked, the more frightened he became.

Good guy!
We filmed so many scenes!
How much money does this make?

He graduated from the 96 Star Class of the Central Academy of Drama. Most of his classmates are pillars of the industry, so he naturally knows the current market situation of TV dramas and movies.

After a little calculation, he felt jealous.

He felt mixed emotions.

I am the top student in the Chinese Academy of Drama!
Not only was he the top student when he entered school, but he was also the top student when he graduated!

He participated in six of the eight graduation dramas of the Central Academy of Drama.

Liu Ye, Zhang Ziyi and others gave him the nickname "Director Qin" when they were in school.

Because he helped arrange many of the works of these brothers and sisters.

But therein lies the problem.

People need his help, firstly because their academic ability is not as good as his, and secondly because they don't have the time.

Why don't you have time?

Because they all went out to film when they were in college!

He listened to his teacher Chang Li the most. Not only did he not take any acting jobs and went to school diligently, but he also had very high requirements for finding his own roles after graduation.

This is what we call character determines destiny. Those classmates who are "greedy for money" and "love fame" are all doing better than him.

He could more or less accept that his classmates were doing better than him, but he just sighed.

But Zhang Yuan, who came from a peasant background and didn't even have a professional college background, was doing better than himself.

The key is that he is younger than me!

Who can accept this?
My heart is filled with bitterness.

After closing the magazine, he suddenly felt angry and irritated.

After arriving at the place and getting off the car, everyone started the day's work.

Zhang Yuan was still filming seriously like he was yesterday, and Wang Xiaoshuai became more and more satisfied with him.

During breaks, he would also walk around the town to familiarize himself with the scenes, making it easier for him to immerse himself in the characters.

The day went smoothly at work, and when the sun was setting, Wang Xiaoshuai called him.

"You have no show tonight, I'll have the driver take you back to the city."

"No, I'll go with everyone else." He waved his hand.

"This is my first time working on an art film crew like this, and I still have a lot to learn."

"I want to watch other people's performances in the evening and learn from them."

“Okay then.” Wang Xiaoshuai replied with a smile. He felt that his work attitude was indeed excellent and he was eager to learn, so he didn’t say anything more.

He is used to it. As long as he is in the crew, he basically will not leave early, and he will stay on the set to get the hang of it even if there is no filming.

Soon, it was evening.

The crew rented an old warehouse and after a little decoration, it turned it into an underground dance hall with a strong 1980s style.

Dancing was a high-risk recreational activity in those days.

It’s not like in later generations, where girls easily meet the wrong person.

The background time of this film is exactly 83.

That year was the time when X first occurred.

The protagonist of this scene is Qin Hao, the second male lead finally has his own highlight.

He has been practicing dancing these days for this scene.

The character he played, Lu Jun, is a local dropout thug, a gang leader of some kind.

In fact, they are not big villains who steal, rob and kill. They are just factory kids who pretend to be adults and form gangs.

The content of this scene is that Qinghong is dragged to the dance by her best friend Xiaozhen.

Xiaozhen is the typical rebellious good girl, the kind of love-brained girl who will run away as soon as she is hooked by a yellow-haired guy.

She had long heard of Lu Jun's name, so she dragged Qinghong to the dance.

At the dance, Lu Jun also fell in love with her. When the lights were turned off, Lu Jun and Xiaozhen kissed each other passionately, which laid the groundwork for their subsequent elopement and breakup.

At the same time, because Qinghong was discovered by her father while attending a dance, she was punished by her father by being grounded, which also planted the seeds for her subsequent tragedy.

So this dance is the highlight and can be considered a turning point in the fate of the two heroines.

Here, Wang Xiaoshuai made arrangements for a group of actors.

There are quite a lot of actors in this play. Just like the previous radio gymnastics, most of them were recruited from the Guizhou Repertory Theatre and their level is not bad.

Zhang Yuan was watching from the side and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He glanced at a short young actor with a slightly pointed face.

This person plays Qin Hao's younger brother and follower in the film. He wears a black jacket and has a wavy hairstyle.

In the eyes of others, he is just an ordinary little actor.

But in Zhang Yuan's eyes, this person will be considered a top figure in the Chinese film industry in the future... (End of this chapter)
