Chapter 60 Compensation
The meeting was over and everyone dispersed. As soon as Zhang Yuan arrived at the door of the meeting room, he was stopped by Yang Tao.

"Hey, look at you. I prepared a good game for you, just waiting for the day to come, but you threw away the good cards."

Yang Tao felt a little disappointed with his friend.

"Director Yang, we are all from the same crew, there's no need to make a big fuss."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the props team members who were leaving.

"And the props people were all brought by Director Lai from Hong Kong."

"Our crew has finally managed to get some harmony together. If this incident happens again, the two groups will split again. It will be ugly."

Yang Tao had never expected that Zhang Yuan could think of this.

Indeed, if the props team from Hong Kong is "brutally killed", it is inevitable that the people from the "Hong Kong Gang" in the crew will feel resentful.

"Okay, I underestimated you." Yang Tao looked at Zhang Yuan, somewhat proud.

This was the most respectable young man he had met in recent years, and he was really lucky to meet him.

If it were an actor of the same age, with some background, he would have caused a huge uproar on the crew if he encountered this incident.

I don't know how difficult it is to serve you.

That is Zhang Yuan. He waved his hand, let bygones be bygones, and let bygones be bygones.

As soon as Yang Tao left, Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen came up to him.

"Zhang Yuan, we..."

They were still struggling over whether or not they should tell Zhang Yuan that this matter was related to them, but unexpectedly Zhang Yuan spoke first.

"This has nothing to do with you. It's just a matter of luck. An iron sword shouldn't be so fragile. It won't break after just a few hits."

It turns out that he had known it for a long time... The two looked at each other and finally felt relieved.

Zhang Yuan is not a philanthropist. If someone really wants to harm him, he will never tolerate it.

But it was an unintentional mistake, and it may not be 100% the other party's fault. The fact that he took the initiative to point it out is enough to prove that he is a good person. Why bother to delve into it and ruin the relationship?

"Zhang Yuan, if you need any help in the future, just let me know." Su Youpeng put his hand on his shoulder very seriously and spoke word by word.

"Zhang Yuan, when your injury is healed, let's play golf together." Alyssa Chia said, and made a swinging motion.

I don't know what happened, but she became addicted to this sport recently. She lost several pounds and became a lot slimmer.

Should we play serious golf, or the kind of golf that Rosamund Kwan plays... Zhang Yuan didn't say it, but nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'd like to go to Taiwan if I have the chance, so don't ignore me then."

"I will treat you well when you come to Taiwan." Jia Jingwen held up her little finger: "You must come."

They hooked their fingers to make an agreement and chatted with the two for a while before they went their separate ways.

When he mentioned going to Taiwan, he was not joking, he had planned it for a long time.

I went there not for fun, but for an RPG game that has been popular in mainland China in recent years.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!
It's still early now, so there's no rush.

I returned to my room, took out some anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine and took it with some water. Just as I was about to lie down on the bed to rest, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Yuan jumped up as if by reflex.

"Who?"

"I am Yuanyuan."

Hiss... Some not-so-pleasant memories came to Zhang Yuan's mind. He looked at the furnishings in the room. The wardrobe in this room was not big enough and it would be difficult to hide someone.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuan opened the door carefully.

"Come and see you!"

Not only Gao Yuanyuan, but also Chen Zihan and Lin Jing were standing outside the door.

This saves trouble as you don't have to open the door again and again.

He invited several people to come in and sit down. He wanted to pour some water, but was stopped by them.

"Your hand is injured, how can I let you work?" Chen Zihan pressed him on the sofa, twisted her slender waist and turned to boil water to make tea.

"Yuanyuan, don't you have something to say to Zhang Yuan?" Lin Jing usually speaks very gently, completely different from the unruly, stupid and bad Ding Minjun in the film.

Gao Yuanyuan's big eyes swept over his left arm wrapped in gauze, and she still felt a little scared.

The director showed her the live playback. If Zhang Yuan hadn't blocked her way, even if her left eye wasn't blinded, her face would most likely have been cut.

Even kindergarten children probably understand how important appearance is to a woman, especially to an actress with bright eyes, white teeth and picturesque features.

Zhang Yuan's blocking indirectly saved her career and even her life!

[Received thanks from Gao Yuanyuan, Appearance +2, Temperament +3, Carving +3, Woodworking Basics +6! ]

Zhang Yuan was stunned when he saw this attribute.

How come you, a beautiful lady, have so many carpentry points on your body?

"Zhang Yuan, does your arm still hurt?" Gao Yuanyuan had a worried look on her face. Her already beautiful appearance made her even more beautiful, like Xi Shi holding her heart.

Zhang Yuan had just taken some painkillers and now he didn't feel any pain at all, but just as he was about to speak, he changed his mind.

"It doesn't hurt...hiss, hiss, hiss!" He said it didn't hurt while sobbing, acting like a big boy pretending to be strong.

Gao Yuanyuan looked panicked and hurriedly held his hand, rubbing it gently with her fingertips.

"Is this better?"

"It seems to be a little better." Zhang Yuan lowered his head: "But I don't know if my hand will have any sequelae, ah..." "Ah, if there are any sequelae, then I..."

Before Gao Yuanyuan could finish her words, Chen Zihan pinched Zhang Yuan's ears with two fingers.

"There are still sequelae. You might as well let Yuanyuan serve you for the rest of your life."

It’s not impossible... Zhang Yuan reluctantly pulled Chen Zihan’s fingers apart.

"Just kidding, the doctor said I'm fine and will be fine in a week or two."

"Really?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes: "Don't lie to comfort me."

“Actually, the aftereffects… Oh my, Sister Zi Han, stop pulling my ears!”

The three of them sat in his room for a long time before leaving. Gao Yuanyuan looked back every few steps before leaving. Finally, she ran up to him obediently and said something softly.

"Thank you for saving me today."

Then he took small steps and left quickly.

The next day, everyone in the crew, from the actors to the staff, was extremely enthusiastic towards him.

Especially those crew members from Hong Kong, they would take the initiative to say hello when they met.

"Zhang Yuan, are you really okay?" Lai Shuiqing saw that he arrived on the set on time and his face was still a little pale, so she asked with concern.

"I'm not made of tofu, so I'm fine with scenes that don't involve big movements."

"Look at Zhang Yuan, he's still filming even though he's injured, but you all have healthy limbs but you're still lazy all day long!" Lai Shuiqing turned around and scolded his men.

"Okay, not bad. You remind me of the older generation of actors. It's rare to find young people who can stand up like you nowadays."

The actors in the Hong Kong Shaw Brothers and TVB era were all very professional. Injuries during filming were commonplace, and no one complained of pain every day. On the contrary, the young actors of later generations can become a hot topic on the Internet even if they split a fingernail, which is laughable.

"But director, my hand was injured during filming. Should our crew give me some compensation?"

When Lai Shuiqing heard this, his heart trembled.

He had seen how powerful Zhang Yuan was.

This kid is always smiling and polite to everyone.

But once you are bitten by him, you have to be prepared to cut flesh and heal the wound.

Lai Shuiqing suffered a great loss at his hands before the filming of this play started, but he was not angry at all, and even admired him.

If you want to do well in this circle, you have to be either a wolf or a hyena.

Either eat meat or eat carrion. Obviously, Zhang Yuan wants to eat meat.

"Tell me what you think." Lai Shuiqing stopped what he was doing, thinking that this guy wouldn't ask for a raise.

If the lion asks for too much, it will be difficult for me to refuse.

Of course Zhang Yuan would not be so short-sighted as to ask for money.

The easiest thing to come into the entertainment industry is that the thing that is least lacking is money!

"I have some ideas about the character of Song Qingshu. I wonder if I can make some changes."

In the original work, Song Qingshu later practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw with Zhou Zhiruo, and the two became Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng of the new era.

In the end, Song Qingshu had his arms immobilized by Yu Lianzhou at the Lion-Slaughtering Conference, preventing him from using the White Bone Claws. He was then hit with a "Double Peaks Piercing the Ears" to crack his head. Fortunately, he was treated by Zhang Wuji and his life was temporarily saved.

From the original text, we can see how highly Mr. Jin thinks of Wudang's mental methods and kung fu. They become stronger in the later stages. Even with the assistance of the Nine Yin Scriptures, Song Qingshu is still no match for his uncle.

The ending of the character Song Qingshu diverges between the old version and the revised version.

In the old version, when Zhang returned to Wudang, he slapped the traitor to death with one palm.

In the revised version, after Song Qingshu returned home and saw his father and master, he became so emotional that he suffered internal injuries and died.

The former refused to repent, while the latter somewhat recovered some of his humanity before his death, and died of shame and anger.

Old Jin gave Jade-faced Mengchang the last bit of dignity.

After Zhang Yuan finished explaining this to Lai Shuiqing, the other party seemed a little puzzled.

"Then what do you mean?"

"If I follow the current script, I will have to perform the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. This Kung Fu move is exaggerated and I am afraid of stretching the wound."

“It would be better to adapt it from the source and change the Emei’s double yin skills into one yin and one yang.”

Lai Shuiqing thought of Zhang Yuan's theory of yin and yang: "How do you explain it?"

"In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the most famous martial arts is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, besides the White Bone Claws. The two magical weapons, Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying, were forged by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and the Dragon Slaying Sabre was given to their son Guo Polu."

"If it weren't for the death of Guo Xiaoxia, the precious sword wouldn't have been lost in the world."

"And the secret manual of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is hidden in the Heavenly Sword. Zhou Zhiruo will definitely get it."

"The Beggars' Sect elder Shi Huolong became paralyzed before he could complete the Eighteen Palms training. The reason was that he failed to achieve a matching mental method."

"As a third-generation Wudang disciple, Song Qingshu's Wudang mental skills are top-notch in the entire martial arts world. It makes sense for him to practice the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

"So what you mean is to let Song Qingshu practice the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to complement Zhou Zhiruo?" Lai Shuiqing finally reacted at this moment.

"That's right." Zhang Yuan nodded. "The Eighteen Palms can be fired with a single palm. With the special effects, the audience won't be able to tell that my arm is injured."

"I see..." Lai Shuiqing was moved by his words.

Seeing that the other party was thinking seriously, Zhang Yuan realized that there was a high probability that this would succeed.

In fact, what he said was very high-sounding, but he also hid his own little thoughts...
