beep, beep...

Inside the palace hall of "The Banquet", the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" were running quickly.

Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, Yelu Qi, Li Mochou...

Originally, Zhang Yuan wanted his assistant who played Hong Lingbo to also make a cameo appearance.

But the bearded man hadn't prepared any clothes for her.

Young actors have no human rights. You have no publicity value to me and I will not involve you in anything.

The bearded man originally wanted to call Yang Mi, but this new student who had just been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy had already demonstrated his talent for "multi-acting".

After finishing filming "Wang Zhaojun", I seamlessly transitioned to the movie "Beijing Fairy Tale".

Not long after finishing filming "Beijing Fairy Tale", I had to participate in the filming of the TV series "Why Do We Need to Know Each Other Before We Meet" and Rong Xinda's self-made movie "The Door".

She shoots four movies a year and attends classes at the same time. Anyone can see that this girl will have a bright future.

Besides, she was admitted to the school last year as the top student in the Beijing Film Academy.

Everyone thought that she would become the next all-round movie queen...

But the problem is that even shooting four movies a year can’t satisfy her.

During his peak period in later life, he even shot ten movies a year, five at the same time, going back and forth day and night, and only resting in the car while rushing to various film sets.

The amount of her works alone is higher than the rest of the 85 flowers combined...

If you do this, even if you have talent, you will end up wasting your life.

Moreover, a person or an actor's growth and goals are mostly related to his or her family birth.

A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have blessings.

When the Discipline Inspection Commission arrests someone, if any official's wife or children are arrogant and domineering, they will be arrested without hesitation.

The same goes for celebrities, and the families of high-quality artists are mostly reasonable.

Family members and relatives are making a fuss, jumping up and down, and the celebrities themselves basically have serious illnesses.

For example, Shuangzi and Wu Qian.

Yang Mi's parents are not the same as Shuangzi's parents, but they also enjoy the fame and fortune brought by their daughter, and their attitude towards outsiders is also somewhat arrogant.

On the contrary, if you look at Liu Xiaoli's image outside, she is low-key and friendly, so Liu Qianqian is also influenced by her and is relatively calm.

The bearded man asked Yang Mi to promote his work, but Yang Mi said he had to teach a class.

As a result, when Zhang Jizhong asked around, he found out that Yang Mi had gone to film a movie, and he was so angry that he almost cursed in the streets.

If you are not free, then you are not free. Just tell the truth. Don't try to be clever.

Yang Mi doesn't know yet what he is going to miss.

"Guo'er, where is this?"

After running, the group of people in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" stopped in a hall full of candles and looked around with nervous and puzzled eyes.

"Cut!" Feng Xiaogang shouted, and the actors finally relaxed.

Half an hour ago.

"Why don't we play together?"

The content of a normal visit to the set was no different from his previous visit to "The Warring States", where he went through the same general process.

After seeing everyone gathered, Zhang Yuan proposed an interesting plan.

“Let’s set up a plot.”

“Let the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes break into the set of The Banquet.”

“It makes the characters of the two crews interact.”

"After all, I have a starring role in both dramas. I will be the anchor to connect the worlds of the two dramas. What do you think?"

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, most of the actors didn’t understand at all.

Liu Xixi even showed a wise expression of "Aba, Aba".

Feng Xiaogang was quick-witted and reacted immediately.

"Oh, I get it!"

Director Feng clapped his hands and said: "It's just a normal visit to the set, just interaction with the actors."

"You mean, let the characters in the film interact. Even though it's the same group of people, one is outside the play and the other is inside the play."

"Yes, we shot a short video of the interaction in the play as a result of the set visit." Zhang Yuan affirmed the other party's statement.

Next, Zhang Yuan discussed the content of the short film with Director Feng.

And then, everything happened now.

"I think we should lay a circular track and have the members of The Return of the Condor Heroes stand in a circle, holding weapons and looking around cautiously, pretending to be terrified."

"After all, they don't know where they are."

"The camera circled around the actors, and in post-production it spun faster and faster, intentionally creating a dizzying feeling of time and space."

"Great, great!" Director Feng praised repeatedly.

He didn't expect that Zhang Yuan could come up with the storyboards and shooting angles right in his mind.

"That's no problem. This is what I'm struggling with now."

"How to switch between the two crews."

Feng Xiaogang thought for a long time. He knew a lot of common techniques, but he didn't have any particularly good ideas.

"This is easy." Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers, then raised his hand and waved towards Liu Qianqian who was standing beside him.

"Little Dragon Girl... stop sucking, put down the Wahaha, and go to work!"

"Come here, come here."

"What do you want from me?" Liu Qianqian glanced at Feng Xiaogang.

In front of the crew of "The Banquet", she was actually worried.

Feng Xiaogang is a great director!

There are also Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, and Zhou Xun, all of whom are top domestic actors.

Besides, there is Ma Jingwu, a professor from my alma mater.

She is under a lot of pressure.

Huang Xiaoming: Have you forgotten someone?
So after coming to the crew today, she was actually very nervous.

But when she met Zhang Yuan, especially when she saw how carefree he was and how he mingled with these top directors and actors, her heart suddenly calmed down.

She knew that this was a unique sense of security that only appeared when she was with Zhang Yuan.

"Look, Director Feng, Xiao Long Nu's clothes are wide-sleeved."

"After a while, after the spinning shot, the camera was pointed at her."

"Then you start the sword move." He pointed at Liu Qianqian again: "After you strike the stance, flick your sleeves towards today."

"The shot ends after the white sleeves cover the lens."

"The next step was to let Zhou Xun come on stage. She also waved her sleeves towards the camera because the character Qingnv she played in the play also wore a white robe."

"In this way, by flicking the sleeves, the two time and space can be connected together."

After hearing this, Feng Xiaogang took a deep breath.

How does this kid's head grow?

In such a short period of time, they managed to plan out such an absurd and fantastic little play, and even worked out the details of the shots.

And it’s also very creative.

In fact, Feng Xiaogang just suffered from the times.

The camera technique used by Zhang Yuan was the "Chinese style one-second transformation" routine that later became popular both at home and abroad, opening the eyes of countless foreigners.

It has become very popular in later generations, but it was absolutely new in those days.

"Zhang Yuan, I think you have some talent as a director." Feng Xiaogang thought for a while and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"You're not going to change your career one day and steal my job, are you?"

"I don't have your ability. I'm just being clever." Zhang Yuan replied casually.

director?

I won't do such hard work.

Teachers have a headache every day when they take care of twenty or thirty students.

The director has to take care of at least two or three hundred actors, and even thousands in large-scale scenes. He doesn't know how many brain cells die every day.

Just look at the movie "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao was so tired that his head became big and he even had hydrocephalus.

Oh, he had hydrocephalus before the filming, so it’s okay…

In short, Zhang Yuan never intended to do such tiring work.

I spend money as an investor and ask directors to make movies for me. It's a lot of effort.

According to the plan proposed by Zhang Yuan, after Liu Qianqian waved her sleeves, the cast of The Return of the Condor Heroes made room for the actors of The Banquet to perform.

In the end, the content of the short film became that Xiaolongnu accidentally broke into the Night Banquet Hall while being chased by others.

Yang Guo found himself becoming the crown prince.

But the characters in the two films are connected, but Feng Xiaogang found that this short film had no "bottom".

Just like the last line of a crosstalk, “Go to hell,” this movie has an ending.

"It's better than this."

"Take another shot of me in casual clothes, standing outside the set, holding posters of two dramas."

“Finally, I was shoved by the security guards who came to chase me away, and finally woke up from the fantasy of The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Banquet.”

"Oh, package the short film into a dream!" Feng Xiaogang nodded vigorously: "This is a good foundation!"

"The imagination of a tourist outside the filming location. The content of the short film is that he fantasizes about himself becoming the male lead of two dramas."

"interesting."

After listening to Zhang Yuan's ideas, everyone was surprised that he connected the two plays together in such a clever way.

According to the shooting plan, the total length of the short film was only about ten minutes, and it did not have to be shot as a feature film, so the actors were very relaxed and the shooting was done very quickly.

It was done in a few hours.

Everyone gathered together to watch the replay.

Although the shooting content is still fragmentary, everyone present can feel that the creativity of this short film should be able to attract many audiences.

Liu Qianqian pulled at the corner of his clothes and whispered.

"The film director is really amazing. He made me look really good in the film."

It’s also the Little Dragon Girl, but the short film was directed by Feng Xiaogang. From the lighting to the camera, it all has a movie texture, and naturally she is much more beautiful than in the TV series.

Then Xiaolongnu cast an admiring look at him again.

"Even if he's a movie director, we have to consult him if we have anything to do just now."

"He's really awesome." Liu Xiaoli noticed that there was something wrong with her daughter's eyes, so she coughed lightly and turned her head away helplessly.

She also saw that Zhang Yuan was indeed talented.

It is indeed not something that ordinary people can do to come up with such a big drama with just a little thinking.

Besides, just look at the attitudes of the other actors and staff.

Even in this top domestic film crew, he still feels like a fish in water. Everyone gets along very well with him. It's not just false politeness between colleagues, it's obvious that they really have a good relationship.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli frowned.

The problem is that while he can do all this, he will also attract a lot of women in the glamorous world of the entertainment industry who are willing to revolve around him.

And my silly girl...

Liu Xiaoli felt that this was where the trouble lay.

After all, she looks at everyone, including Zhang Yuan, from a mother's perspective, so naturally she has a heavy mental burden.

The difference is that international chapters do not have these burdens.

And she sees things more deeply than Liu Xiaoli, an outsider.

"Although he found a very creative way to string the period drama and the movie together."

“This will really help promote TV series and movies.”

Zhang Ziyi glanced at the bearded man and Feng Xiaogang who were standing beside her with a happy look on their faces.

Especially the one with the big beard, his mouth corners were almost stretched behind his ears due to his smile.

He brought people here just to get some attention, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan's move would allow him to get a big advantage.

Feng Xiaogang was also happy about it. After all, the sales of overseas copyrights of "The Banquet" had recently suffered setbacks, and he needed to pay more attention to the domestic box office market.

And interacting with the hit show "The Return of the Condor Heroes" will naturally gain a wave of free publicity, so why not do it?

In addition, he and the Wang brothers saw the rising power of the Internet from "A Murder Caused by a Bun", so they had high hopes for this short film.

"However, while Zhang Yuan is using his works to please these directors and producers, the biggest beneficiary is actually himself!"

Zhang Ziyi looked at Zhang Yuan, who was standing beside her with his arms folded, looking calm as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

“Not only is he the lead actor in both films.”

"He is also the leading actor and main character of this short film!"

"Even I, or Ge You, are just playing supporting roles for him in this short film."

Zhang Ziyi is an ambitious person with a stubborn temper, and she has always loved to compete for a position.

But at this moment there was no unhappiness at all.

"He buried his own interests in the interests of others."

"Let others have no reason to deny his needs."

“That’s where he’s most amazing.”

"Sure enough." Zhang Ziyi's lips curled up slightly: "It's right to help him and not let the Wang brothers know that he had private communication with Harvey in Berlin."

"Besides, he just demonstrated his directing and planning abilities."

"Maybe it will be very useful for my future development."

Like many actors, Zhang Ziyi wanted to change her career after working in the same field for a long time.

Seeing the current situation, Zhang Jie feels that she should try to win over Zhang Yuan, maybe she can make him her right-hand man in the future...

"Okay, let's applaud Zhang Yuan, the creator of the short film!"

After watching the general clip, the bearded man led the applause.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes will be broadcast in rotation in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in the second half of the year."

"If you have time, please come and help with the promotion." The bearded man said very politely.

If it were someone else, you would have to come as soon as he called.

But looking at Zhang Yuan's situation, he felt it was unlikely that he could make time.

I was busy visiting the set in the morning and had a simple meal with the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes. In the afternoon, the crew resumed normal filming.

Because there was a dinner party arranged for the entire crew in the evening.

Especially since this one was paid for by the stingy old man named Big Beard, it's really rare.

So the people from The Return of the Condor Heroes didn't leave. They just watched the crew filming and waited to have dinner together in the evening.

“He seems to have made a lot of progress.”

Looking at Zhang Yuan, who was as steady as a rock and speaking his lines in front of the camera, Mr. Wang Luoyong, who played Guo Jing, said.

“It’s more stable…”

“However, it may also be that he cannot use his full strength when filming the TV series.”

Teacher Kong Lin, who played Huang Rong, nodded in agreement.

She had seen Zhang Yuan's performance on the set of "Little Fish and Flower".

So it is clear that this kid has a very high ceiling, and it all depends on the space the crew gives him to perform.

Liu Qianqian was listening and watching from the side.

In her eyes, Zhang Yuan in front of the camera was shining.

"Sure enough, he is most charming when he is working seriously." Xiao Longnu murmured.

After the afternoon work was completed, the crew arranged a barbecue oven and skewers.

This way, the actors can be filmed doing the work themselves, which makes it seem more intimate.

It’s just the same as asking Brother Hua to cook for the set of “The Warring States”.

Everyone was happy as they ate and drank.

The TV hit is good for everyone in the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" crew.

Now this joint short film can promote "The Banquet" in advance. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a win-win situation.

In the second half of the meal, Zhang Yuan winked at Liu Qianqian and stood up casually.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Give you some time to rest. I'll be back to continue drinking."

"Who are you looking down on? We're waiting for you!" Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Li said, holding bottles of wine.

"Um...Mom, I'm going to the bathroom." But less than a minute later, Liu Qianqian also spoke.

"It's quite dark on the set at night. Do you want me to accompany you?" Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter.

Tsk, why is the little face a little red? Is it because of the north wind or the smoke from the stove?

"No, it's just a few steps away. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he got up and left.

A few minutes later, Chen Zihan, who was from the same school and had worked with Huang Xiaoming on the set of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", took this junior and good friend to drink a lot.

"Don't be depressed..." The old ladies always drink too much when they have a drinking party.

And after drinking too much, she would become even more unscrupulous.

It can be said that the entire Xiaotangshan crew was immersed in a happy atmosphere.

But there was a strange smell in the air.

It comes from Huang Xiaoming!

He watched, cooperated and smiled fakely from morning till night today.

But there was only one thought in my mind.

"This should all be mine!"

Especially after seeing Zhang Yuan changing into Yang Guo's costume, his heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by someone, causing him to feel indescribable discomfort.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" was a huge hit and achieved very impressive results.

But all this has nothing to do with him!
And today when shooting the promotional video, he had to act with Zhang Yuan, who snatched the role of Yang Guo from him.

This feeling is even more painful than watching your wife entangled with the guy next door.

If Huang Xiaoming were put into "Three Kingdoms", he would probably have vomited blood and died by now.

He is extremely fragile now. Even a grown man has become a breakable item.

The level of inner sensitivity is similar to that of Teacher Yuan Quan's body.

You can’t touch it. If you touch it, water will come out...that means tears.

"You're still not a man!" Chen Zihan patted him on the back. "Drink!"

Guo Fu pushed away the empty wine bottles in front of her, feeling a little suffocated.

“It’s just a role.”

"I've been replaced so many times in all these years since my debut."

"I, a woman, don't take it seriously, so why are you, a grown man, so worried about it?" Chen Zihan glared at him.

Then he added another sentence.

"With your mentality, no wonder you can't beat Zhang Yuan."

Huang Xiaoming: ...

puff!
A knife stabbed into my heart.

Today, Brother Xiao Ming sat farther away from Zhou Xun while eating, just to avoid his attack.

Unexpectedly, after dodging Brother Xun, Chen Zihan came to replace him.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"Wait until I come back, and we'll get drunk and make you forget all your worries!" After saying that, the old lady got up and went to the bathroom.

At night, most of the lights on the crew will be turned off, leaving only a few small lights to facilitate security patrols.

Chen Zihan walked along the dim light.

"Xiao Ming is too familiar, it's hard to start with."

"Tsk, after drinking, I always want to find a man to play with." Chen Zihan muttered as he walked.

"Hey, Zhang Yuan is pretty good!"

"Last time I was drunk and pushed him against the wall and kissed him, and this guy frowned and tried to hide...hahahaha."

"Okay, let's go play with him!"

When women act like hooligans, they are more terrifying than men.

As he was walking and thinking, Chen Zihan was stunned and heard some noise coming from the nearby grass and under a big tree.

The light was dim, so she raised her eyelids, which were already a little blurry due to the effect of alcohol, and looked to the side in the moonlight.

In a trance, I seemed to see two tall and thin figures hugging each other.

"Oh!" Chen Zihan stretched his neck and showed a wicked smile.

Then he tiptoed over and walked over... (End of this chapter)
