Chapter 7 Finishing

"Brother Hong Lei, we can talk it over." Zhang Yuan raised his hands and gave a French military salute.

"Director Gao told me that this scene was designed by you and you made me get wet for several hours?" Sun Honglei's state at this moment was simply that of Liu Huaqiang.

"It's all for art... I'll drink three cups as punishment later." Zhang Yuan begged for mercy directly.

"Three cups are not enough, at least nine cups!"

Zhang Yuan knew that the other party was joking with him.

As the saying goes, "familiarity makes the difference." If two people are not familiar with each other, they will be very polite in what they say and do.

But if they become familiar with each other and become brothers, their behavior will definitely become inappropriate.

"It's a good idea, but it's very time-consuming," Sun Honglei complained.

After lunch, Director Gao arranged to shoot another scene that Zhang Yuan suggested to add, and it was completed smoothly in one afternoon.

Li Jingxiang did not show up the whole day, and it was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that he limped back to the hotel.

"Fell?"

"Yeah, I also paid them 200 for the repairs." Li Jingxiang's face was no longer as sad as it was last night. "But I've learned the basics, so I should be able to handle it."

Zhang Yuan was thankful that he had practiced all day. If he had fallen during the filming, he wouldn't be the only one injured.

With his level, he will basically say goodbye to motorcycles after filming.

"Zhang Yuan, thank you. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help you." Li Jingxiang said to him seriously.

Originally, he asked Zhang Yuan to help him think of a strategy, and he thought that at most he could find a way to fool the performance.

Little did he know that Zhang Yuan could mobilize the entire crew on his own to make way for him. He had not expected such ability and courage.

He was completely convinced!
He has made this friend his permanent friend.

"Okay, I'll remember this. Don't ignore the phone when I need your help next time." There was a hint of cunning in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

"How can that be possible..."

What Li Jingxiang didn't know was that Zhang Yuan deliberately did him a big favor. On the one hand, it was to gain some benefits, and on the other hand... hehe.

When he was filming "Blind Well" later, Zhang Yuan really needed his help.

The next morning was the cycling scene.

Zhang Yuan watched from the side, his fingers tightly fastened on his trousers, and he was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, I passed it in one go without any problems.

Li Jingxiang, who had just finished the show, was very considerate and gave him another wave of attribute points.

During lunch, Li Jingxiang even brought a glass of wine to thank him for his help.

"Fuck! You made me get wet in the rain for several hours just for this!" Sun Honglei was almost dumbfounded.

The key point is that you said what he did was unreasonable, but there is nothing wrong with the play.

Everyone from the director to the actors thought it was great, and God even gave it some rain for free.

But don't you think it's reasonable? This guy is really good at making trouble. He made the entire crew go around in circles and changed the crew's shooting plan in the blink of an eye.

"Punishment, must be punished by drinking!"

Sun Honglei was so angry that he poured wine on him.

However, in the past few weeks, he has gained hundreds of points in drinking ability, and his drinking capacity has greatly increased.

Originally, Sun Honglei could still suppress him, but now the two of them can fight on equal terms.

He continued filming for the next few days, acting during the day and eating, drinking and communicating with the actors at night, while brushing up his attributes. Zhang Yuan was very happy.

A few nights later.

boom!
"Brother Biao, Brother Biao!"

Next to a taxi, Wang Debao, who played Feng Biao, covered the bloody hole on his thigh with his hand, his face full of pain.

Just now, Liu Huaqiang's men deliberately caused a car accident and ganked Feng Biao, who was out with his brothers.

Gao Erlin, played by Zhang Yuan, is the number one henchman and he immediately protected the boss.

But the other party ran away after the fight, leaving him no chance to take revenge.

"Stop! Fuck you! Don't run!" Zhang Yuan pulled out a machete from his waist and waved it at the fleeing murderer in front of him. He wanted to chase him, but he didn't dare.

"This kid has made great progress, and his acting skills are even better than when he first arrived."

"It's not uncommon to see progress, but it's rare to see it happen at such a fast speed." Director Gao Qunshu said in front of the monitor, and Sun Honglei nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Zhang Yuan's speed of improvement astonished the leading actor.

Not only has his acting skills improved incredibly fast, but his drinking capacity has also increased astonishingly... Sun Honglei thought to himself, and then felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

It won’t be long before I can’t drink more than this kid.

The show continued. "Brother, Brother Biao, are you okay, Brother Biao?"

Zhang Yuan was full of emotions. He hesitated whether to give chase while caring about his boss's injuries. He portrayed a reckless gangster vividly.

"Fuck you...don't run away, who did this!"

The lines in those days were powerful and people used swear words at will. The most typical example is "The Yongzheng Dynasty". This big-budget drama also has lines like "Tian Wenjing, I XXX".

"Hey, what are you doing?" The performance was in full swing when suddenly several loud shouts were heard.

Everyone turned around and saw several police officers in uniforms rushing forward with serious expressions: "Don't move!"

These people were holding batons and took out shiny "silver bracelets" from their waists while talking.

The small film crew was filming and there was no one to clear the streets, so they found an empty alley at night and started filming. Little did they know that they would attract real police.

He Tiehong, who played Zhou Guoquan, was the on-site producer and was responsible for the shooting order on the set. He hurried forward to explain with a smile.

"Excuse me, officers. We are filming a scene."

"Filming?" The two policemen looked at Zhang Yuan, who looked murderous, and the prop knife in his hand, and shook their heads vigorously: "It doesn't look like it."

"Look over there." Following He Tiehong's instructions, the police discovered the camera crew in the corner and suddenly realized what was going on.

"It's acting so real..." The two police officers still looked at Zhang Yuan with disbelief, looking him up and down as if they were interrogating a criminal.

After explaining for a while and even giving him some cigarettes, the other party left in disappointment.

"Zhang Yuan, look, people really think you are a gangster." Sun Honglei said with a smirk on his face.

"I learned all this from you." Zhang Yuan was telling the truth.

"Fuck you..."

The filming was interrupted and had to be done again.

There were no surprises this time.

"Cut, perfect!" Director Gao Qunshu gave an order and the crew finished work.

"Sure, brother. If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you were going to chop someone down."

Wang Debao, who played Feng Biao, stood up. Zhang Yuan's eyes were red, veins on his temples bulged, and his muscles were tense. The hand that was holding him was like a vice, squeezing him so hard that it hurt.

Not to mention the police who didn't understand the situation, even he, as an actor in the same group, was a little scared.

"Everyone, pay attention." At this moment, the director clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the whole audience: "This is Zhang Yuan's last scene. Congratulations on his official completion!"

There was continuous applause for a while, and many crew members looked reluctant.

Especially those older men, they no longer had a drinking buddy, and no longer had a brother who could offer advice when they encountered problems.

"Let's go. We've booked a farewell drink for you. Don't go home until you're drunk tonight." Sun Honglei, Li Jingxiang and other big brothers hooked his shoulders and headed straight for the hotel.

It was still the familiar private room, the same one where Song Lao Hu held a banquet during the previous filming, and it basically became the exclusive use of the crew.

"Come on, let's raise a toast together and wish Zhang Yuan a bright future!" After everyone sat down, Director Gao took the lead in raising the toast.

The sound of clinking glasses could be heard constantly.

The protagonist of this banquet was Zhang Yuan, so he naturally drank a lot. The others were also excited and drank a lot.
When everyone's faces turned red and they started humming little songs and bragging, Zhang Yuan came to director Gao Qunshu holding a cup.

"Director Gao, I heard that you have been busy with the sale of our film recently?"

"Huh?" Gao Qunshu was already seven-tenths drunk, but he sobered up a little after hearing his words.

This hurt his heart!

In fact, Gao Qunshu had a lot of connections inside and outside the circle. He took the rough cut to many people, but the result made him very disappointed.

"What are you filming?"

“The picture doesn’t look like a TV series, nor a documentary?”

“This film is too crude.”

With comments like these, naturally no one is willing to pay.

"Director Gao, I've already finished filming, so why don't I go and try to find some connections and sales channels?"

"You?" Gao Qunshu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Okay, go ahead and give it a try."

He did not deny the young man's ability. After all, Gao Qunshu acknowledged Zhang Yuan's excellence in understanding the plot and characters.

But making a film is one thing, selling it is another!

How many good films have been buried due to lack of connections and background.

Gao Qunshu told him to try, but it was just a joke, he didn't hold any hope at all...
