Chapter 61 Falling into the Flowers
"Mr. Yang, I have something to tell you."
Not long after, Lai Shuiqing found Yang Tao.
Yang Tao was explaining the play to Su Youpeng, Jia Jingwen and others at the time, and put down the script when he saw him coming.
"what's up?"
"There is a part of the play that the actor and I discussed and planned to modify."
"Change the play?" When Yang Tao heard this, he immediately sat up straight and his expression became much more serious.
"The film is already halfway through, how can we change the script so easily?"
"We can't let one actor affect the progress of the entire crew."
Yang Tao said righteously: "Who wants to change the script?"
"Zhang Yuan."
"How does he plan to change it?" Yang Tao took out a pen from his pocket.
Su Youpeng: ...
Alyssa Chia: …
Lai Shuiqing saw Yang Tao's expression like he was changing his face, and thought to himself, just spoil him.
The two Taiwan stars looked at each other, then shook their heads and sighed in unison.
Who wants to change the play!
Zhang Yuan wants to change.
That's okay...
However, after Lai Shuiqing explained what needed to be changed, the two of them smiled with understanding.
Zhang Yuan just changed it, not snatched it.
I didn't increase my role or squeeze out others'. I was just forced to make reasonable changes because of my arm injury.
Besides, after what happened yesterday, Zhang Yuan didn't give them up and even comforted them. Even if some of their roles were taken away from them, they wouldn't have any complaints.
"If we hadn't been playing around, this wouldn't have happened." Alyssa Chia whispered to Su Youpeng, who nodded.
What they didn't know was that Zhang Yuan had other considerations for changing these plays.
Changing the Nine Yin White Bone Claws to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms can make the character of Song Qingshu more masculine.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan didn't need to put on special makeup for the bone claws, as it would have made him look like a ghost, which was really ugly.
In addition, he and Lai Shuiqing proposed that Song Qingshu die at the Lion-Slaughtering Conference. The reason he gave was to save space and focus all the attention on the two protagonists.
The solution he proposed was that Song Qingshu would die to protect his father.
In this way, the villain Song Qingshu can show his character arc before his death. He is no longer a simple insidious villain, but a poor man who is crazy about love but still has a conscience.
In this way, the character's image becomes much more positive.
There is a Chinese saying that it is better for an old prostitute to become a good woman than for a chaste woman to lose her chastity.
People would rather see bad guys repent before their death than see good guys completely turn evil...except for those who like to have fun, of course.
Moreover, it is easy for the audience to form stereotypes about actors because of their roles. Just like Sun Honglei, no matter how many good guys he plays, they cannot compare to the deep impression left by the movie "Conquer".
The two directors were able to agree on the change, and the other actors in the crew had no objections at all.
The next day, the crew continued to perform, and nearly 300 extras were recruited that day.
A familiar face appeared among the extras.
Zhao Jin was wearing the sour and smelly Beggar Gang costume, with his face painted black.
Standing like a minion, or perhaps he is a minion himself, he is serving as a human backdrop to film the scene of Song Qingshu's exile in the Beggar Gang.
He was standing on the periphery and couldn't see the faces of the actors clearly, but he felt that the back of the actor who played Song Qingshu looked quite familiar.
When the scene was over, he came to the edge of the main actors' rest area with confusion and looked at the people sitting on the folding chairs.
A glance confirmed his guess.
"It's really Zhang Yuan."
After the last meeting on the set of "The Story of a Noble Family", this person's mentality has become much calmer.
He could not compare with Zhang Yuan in terms of ability, appearance, and social skills. He realized that although he and Zhang Yuan were roommates for a short time, they were ultimately people from two different worlds. At this point, he began to let it go.
But he never expected that the scene before him would make him 200% more jealous!
Zhang Yuan was seen sitting steadily on the Diaoyutai. On the right side of his body, Gao Yuanyuan was holding a plate of sliced apples. She was picking up a piece with a toothpick and putting it into his mouth.
On the left, Alyssa Chia is holding a marker. Although there is no plaster, she is still writing and drawing on Zhang Yuan's bandage while smiling.
Behind him, Lin Jing was "tickling" his neck with the ends of her hair, while Chen Zihan was holding a water cup, looking at Jia Jingwen who was writing swear words, with a beautiful smile.
Zhao Jin’s teeth were almost broken.
If any one of these people is picked out and thrown into the Chinese entertainment circle, they will all be among the top few in terms of appearance.
What's more, there are four people of this level surrounding Zhang Yuan. Which man would not be envious?
"Zhang Yuan, is it delicious?" Gao Yuanyuan asked softly with bright eyes.
"so so."
"Oh, then I'll buy oranges next time."
A beautiful girl feeds you but you are still picky!
The key point is that the other party was not angry when he heard what he said, but smiled sweetly.
Is there still king's law? Is there still law?
"Oh my God, strike him!"
This is really intolerable, but it is intolerable for singles! It took a long time for this person to calm down.
"It turns out that being handsome really can allow you to do whatever you want..." Zhao Jin finally came to the conclusion.
"Hey, why are you here?" At this moment, Zhang Yuan was just about to get up to go to the bathroom and saw him at a glance.
"I followed the leader of the group." Zhao Jin was deflated. The gap between the two of them became increasingly huge and had become an insurmountable chasm.
A person may become extremely jealous because his neighbor earns 200 yuan more than him, but he will not become desperate because Jack Ma has tens of billions more assets than him.
Once the gap is big enough, ordinary people will do nothing but blindly follow others, except feeling inferior.
Zhao Jin was in the same mood now. He had just seen the many beautiful girls surrounding Zhang Yuan and felt indignant. But now that they were in front of him, he thought about the gap between them and his previous emotions disappeared.
"Have you found a new roommate?"
Zhang Yuan had many things to say about his former roommate, whether he liked him or disliked him. He was just an acquaintance, so there was no need for him to ignore him just because he had done well in his life.
"Found it." When Zhao Jin mentioned this, his eyebrows twisted into a ball: "A young boy under 20 years old, also doing extras."
"He doesn't like cleanliness and is sloppy. He claims to be a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. He practices boxing in the house when he has nothing to do."
"You're not good-looking, you're not tall, I don't think it'll be possible for you to make it in this industry."
Zhang Yuan rubbed his chin. Why does this person sound familiar?
I didn't think much about it and chatted for a few more minutes.
"How are you doing lately?"
"Just so-so." Zhao Jinxin said, compared to Zhang Yuan, all of us who came from extras are just so-so.
"I met a friend who is an extra and has studied cooking. He plans to set up a stall to sell food near the set. I will go and help him when I am free."
Zhao Jin has also recently begun to think that compared to Zhang Yuan, his ceiling in the entertainment industry is too low.
So he started looking for other ways.
These days, you can make a lot of money running a snack stand. When business is normal, you can make much more than being an extra.
"Oh, that's a good idea."
When Zhao Jin heard Zhang Yuan's agreement, he immediately smiled and felt like he was praised by his leader.
"But since we are going to do it, we have to do it on a big scale. It would be boring to open a small stall." After listening to him, Zhang Yuan had an idea in his mind.
Not to mention other places, just take the crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". From morning to night, the total number of people in the crew is at least 200, and at most over 500.
The lunch box alone costs several thousand a day!
This is good business.
Zhang Yuan said a few words to the other party and said that he would contact him later.
Zhao Jin didn't understand what he wanted to do and left the set in a daze.
When I returned to the beauties, I saw Gao Yuanyuan discussing something with Chen Zihan.
"what's wrong?"
"Director Lai and Director Ma asked me to design a signature move for the Nine Yin White Bone Claw myself." Gao Yuanyuan pouted worriedly.
"Sister Zi Han has studied dance, and I was just thinking of asking her for advice."
Indeed, both Alyssa Chia and Gao Yuanyuan started out as print models, while Lin Jing changed her career from a flight attendant. Only Chen Zihan is a genuine art student from elementary school to adulthood.
In fact, Ma Yuchen designed movements for her, but Gao Yuanyuan's body coordination could be described in two words: stiff.
No wonder Zhang Yuan, who had carpentry skills and had received "massage" from her, knew that this girl was not very smart but very strong, and was indeed suitable for adze, chisel, axe and saw.
She can't learn what others teach her, and even if she does, it won't look good, so I just let her find a suitable one herself.
Chen Zihan's hands moved softly and gracefully like a swimming swan, but when they moved to Gao Yuanyuan's place, they became a roast duck on the stove.
Zhang Yuan has been strictly trained. No matter how funny something is, he won't laugh unless he can't help it...
He had now put his index finger and thumb into his mouth, which was why he did not laugh out loud.
"Okay, Sister Zi Han, don't waste your energy. She'll lead you astray and your 20 years of dance skills will be wasted."
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him, but she wasn't angry.
"Come, learn from me, I know the answer to this question." Zhang Yuan put the ends of his palms together.
Then rotate both hands 90 degrees together and flip the right hand downward.
Next, rotate your hands 90 degrees again, with the backs of your hands touching each other.
The last move is to activate the palm technique in the second step to form a small circulation.
"Do you understand? Connect the four moves together." Zhang Yuan took the lead, and the four female stars around him followed him and started to rotate their hands.
"Hey, turn."
"Hey, shake."
"Yes!"
In less than five minutes, Gao Yuanyuan had mastered it: "Zhang Yuan, what do you call this palm technique?"
"Haha, this is the secret method of the Natural Gate, the Qiankun Wuji Hand!"
The four girls were stunned by the title.
"Come on, the four of you practice it again and I'll take a picture of you."
That day, at sunset.
The crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" showed the early human phenomenon of shaking hands...
