Chapter 98 Xiaoyao Guidance
There is not much else in the Taohua Island Scenic Area, except for a lot of trees.

Otherwise, Big Beard would not have chosen this place as the filming location.

There are not only woods, but also lakes, streams, and even many places that have yet to be developed, with no traces of human activity.

Now, in a wild forest that is not uncommon on Peach Blossom Island and is very common, five dragons and phoenixes appeared.

"Uh, hehe..." Hu Jun cleared his throat, fixed his makeup, and looked at the three unexpected guests in front of him.

After all, he is a veteran actor with plenty of social experience, so he spoke first.

"What are you three doing here?"

"The three of us are auditioning." Zhang Yuan answered truthfully.

Liu Tao covered his mouth and chuckled, "We are also 'auditioning'."

"Yes, yes, they are all auditions." Hu Jun quickly took over the conversation.

The five of them walked out of the woods together.

Hu Jun hooked his arm around Zhang Yuan's shoulder and walked in front, while the three girls hung behind him and whispered.

"I've heard that Hu Jun and Liu Tao are having an affair, but I didn't expect to see it happen." Zhang Yuan complained in his heart.

You know, Liu Tao is relatively easy to deal with. Although she has a boyfriend, she is not married.

But Hu Jun is already married and had a daughter the year before last. He even showed Zhang Yuan the photo of the daughter.

"Zhang Yuan, you are amazing!" Hu Jun gave him a thumbs up: "Chen Hao is a famous beauty in our Central Academy of Drama."

"She has a good personality and high standards. Mr. Wu from Chengtian helped her find two dramas and released an album. Xiao Hao didn't even bow down to him. She made the boss crazy."

When Zhang Yuan heard the word Chengtian, he reacted immediately.

“No wonder Chen Haohong’s career went downhill after a while, and she even ended up becoming a teacher.”

The famous Sister Hua has joined Orange Sky Entertainment.

It was also from that time that Fan Bingbing's press releases and exposure began to increase sharply.

The driving force behind this is Mr. Wu from Tiancheng.

Just to say that Fan Bingbing is really a master. It would be unfair if she is not popular. She has resources from both Tiancheng and Huayi. Both bosses have done their best to support her. She is really good at getting along with everyone.

After Mr. Wu started to support Fan Bingbing, Chen Hao was neglected, her resources were greatly reduced, until she semi-retired from the circle.

But this is also Chen Hao's own fault. Not only does she have high standards, but she is also determined not to look for someone in the same circle. The person she eventually married is an investment tycoon, and her ending is much better than Fan Bingbing's.

"Jiang Xin is a very aggressive girl. Other male actors don't dare to get close to her." Hu Jun said in a low voice, "Neither of them is good."

"How did you get them to come with you to the 'audition'?"

"They were the ones who took the initiative to find me." Zhang Yuan told the truth.

"Ah!" Hu Jun's eyes widened: "They took the initiative to find you, and together!"

"Jiang Xin and I were rehearsing, and Chen Hao was directing us."

"You guys are still giving orders, you guys are really good at having fun!" Hu Jun thought to himself, young people are not only in good health, but also have many ideas and play too much.

Zhang Yuan is an expert as he can make these two take the initiative and work together!
In the back, a trio of girls.

Liu Tao's cheeks were flushed, not because he was shy, but because the passionate blood had not yet faded.

Looking to both sides, Chen Hao and Jiang Xin's cheeks also blushed slightly, and she nodded in understanding.

“Sure enough, they are all auditioning!”

Chen Hao and Jiang Xin blushed, firstly because they were a little passionate during the audition, and secondly, it was normal to blush when seeing the scene of Hu Jun and Teacher Bai "fighting".

"You two are auditioning with Zhang Yuan together?" Liu Tao looked up at the figure in front of him and asked with a curious smile, "Can he handle it?"

"He has practiced martial arts and is very good at using a stick, so why can't he withstand it?" Jiang Xin replied blankly.

Good stick skills... A hint of lust flashed in Liu Tao's eyes.

"Are you satisfied with the try?" she smiled charmingly.

“He’s doing well.”

"pretty good."

The two recalled the scene just now and nodded.

"Hahaha..." Liu Tao covered his face and chuckled.

How powerful Zhang Yuan must be to be able to satisfy both of them when facing two opponents at one against the other.

Liu Tao bit his lip lightly: I also want to try his stick skills.

The two groups of people in front and behind were all chatting across servers.

However, both Hu Jun and Liu Tao looked at Zhang Yuan with admiration.

Afternoon, crew.

"Hold me, hold me... Duan Lang, I want you!"

Jiang Xin's eyes were blurred as she pounced towards Lin Zhiying, rubbing back and forth on her body like a loach.

"Cut!" Zhou Xiaowen waved his hand to stop the game: "Jiang Xin performed well, Xiaozhi, you are not passionate enough, you look a little weak."

Lin Zhiying, with dark circles under his eyes, nodded with an apologetic look.

Ever since Ruby Lin came, he has been really weak!
It's almost been drained.

Jiang Xin turned his head away with a look of disgust.

"Pah, you smell like powder and have no masculinity at all."

"Not as manly as Zhang Yuan."

The so-called masculinity and femininity are, in most cases, actually the smell of sex hormones.

Xiao Zhi was almost squeezed into a meat jerky, so he didn't have any hormones. Instead, he smelled a lot of women's perfume.

This is called no harm without comparison.

"Zhang Yuan's body is hard, and I feel safe when I hug him. This guy doesn't seem as strong as me." Jiang Xin was not very satisfied: "And he's not sincere when I kiss him." After trying several more times, Jiang Xin was exhausted from panting, and she barely passed one.

"Congratulations to Jiang Xin for having her first screen kiss!" Zhou Xiaowen took the lead in applauding.

Jiang Xin was as timid as ever, and she didn't show the shyness of other girls. She even stuck out her tongue and made a "yeah" gesture in front of the camera.

"Zhang Yuan, thank you for accompanying me to the audition!" Holding the flowers given by the director team, she skipped to Zhang Yuan and patted him on the shoulder.

[Received thanks from Jiang Xin, mentality (strong) +2, eye expression (disdain) +1! ]

Wow, after chewing it, I can get some attributes. If only this good thing could happen every day... Zhang Yuan felt happy just thinking about it.

"How was your first kiss scene?" Chen Hao stepped forward to tease his friend.

Jiang Xin covered her mouth with her hands: "Not as good as Zhang Yuan."

"I think so too." Chen Hao recalled Jiang Xin's performance before and after, and agreed with it deeply.

After filming this scene, the crew moved to the edge of a small cliff with two large characters hanging on it.

"Zhenlong"

This scene is the beginning of Xu Zhu's deification, "The little monk defeats the Zhenlong chess game"!
"This is Master Duan from the Dali Kingdom."

Zhao Yong, who played Bao Bu Tong, one of the retainers, introduced himself to Zhang Yuan, who was dressed as a gentleman.

This dark-faced man of medium build is not well-known, but he is actually a graduate of Beijing Film Academy and a special actor of Mr. He.

This version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is full of talented people and many masters are hidden.

"Hello, Mr. Duan." Zhang Yuan walked forward with a smile, holding the sheathed sword in both hands and saluted with his fists.

Xiu Ge behind him raised his eyebrows. He saw the foundation of opera from the steps Zhang Yuan took just now.

These are the [Taiwan Step] points that I occasionally got from Guo Degang and Qian Ge.

In the old versions of "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin", why do the protagonists walk so steadily and with full of temperament?

In fact, it is borrowed from the stage steps in opera.

Young actors don’t understand, but veterans like Xiu Ge can tell at a glance.

In comparison, Lin Zhiying, who acted opposite Zhang Yuan, was much worse.

To put it nicely, it is "nimble in steps"; to put it bluntly, it is "completely disorganized."

"Mr. Duan, you are here too?" Liu Qianqian was wearing a pink dress with a gauze skirt over it, looking pure and fairy-like.

"Miss Wang!" Duan Yu's expression changed in an instant. At this time, Zhang Yuan glanced between the two of them, then breathed out through his nostrils, lowered his eyebrows, and squeezed between the two of them with a bad look on his face.

"Card!"

"Take a break, and try again." Zhou Xiaowen shouted.

Sometimes the director will not describe where the specific problem lies, but just feels that it is not right and will ask for a reshoot.

"Teacher Huanshan, could you give me some advice on my performance just now?" Gao Hu took advantage of the break to come to Teacher Xu Huanshan, who played Wuyazi.

"You acted well, there's nothing to change," the old man replied politely.

Gao Hu pursed his lips and nodded.

Gao Hu graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and the old man is from the Beijing Film Academy. They have different positions and are under no obligation to instruct each other.

Although studious young people are rare, there are so many people in the crew, who can teach them all? It is better to have less trouble and live a quiet life.

"Hello, Zhang Yuan." Old Mr. Xu, who was sitting and massaging his legs, suddenly greeted Zhang Yuan.

"Mr. Xu, you are looking for me."

Xu Huanshan changed his previous smiling, polite but somewhat distant attitude towards Gao Hu, and said very kindly: "Walk with me."

Looking at the two people's receding backs, Gao Hu suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

I took the initiative to ask for advice but the old man ignored me. Why is Zhang Yuan so lucky?

Is this really a world where appearance matters?
Why?
This has to start with a story from the past.

"In 56, I was admitted to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy." The old man said as he walked, his eyes full of traces of the past times.

"At that time, the school would hold democratic life meetings, where everyone would discuss and talk about topics related to education and learning."

"I once expressed my opinion on the former Soviet Union teaching syllabus used by Nortel, believing that it needed to be reformed to keep pace with the times."

"This has caused a big disaster!" The old man has a straightforward temper, and his voice trembled slightly when he said this.

"Fortunately, there were some wise people in the school who saved my life. I was given a punishment of staying in school and doing hard labor."

"From then on, I could no longer attend classes. I could only do odd jobs like sweeping the floor, serving meals, and doing maintenance. I also didn't get a living allowance and couldn't eat in the school cafeteria."

Zhang Yuan walked and listened all the way, feeling a little emotional, but he didn't realize how it had anything to do with him.

"During those years when I stayed in school to work, my sky was gray. Not only was I tired, but I also often didn't have enough to eat."

"Luckily, there is a senior who stayed on to teach at the school and often secretly brought me wild vegetable dumplings that he made himself."

"Until now, I often dream about that taste. It was so delicious!" When talking about food, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, just like the story of Zhu Yuanzhang and the Pearl Jade Soup.

What is important is not the food, but the memories that cannot be found, a ray of light in suffering, and a touch of warmth in despair.

"My senior brother, whose name is Yu Wenzhong, said that he met an interesting and promising young man on the set of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

Mr. Xu looked at him and smiled, and Zhang Yuan suddenly realized.

It turned out to be Mr. Yu!
Yu Wenzhong played Zhang Sanfeng in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and his junior fellow apprentice Xu Huanshan played Xiaoyaozi in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The two brothers both played top masters, and their roles were lifelike and vivid.

Especially the demeanor of the masters, both of them expressed it extremely accurately, it is true that the older generation of actors have amazing skills.

At that time, Mr. Yu Wenzhong gave Zhang Yuan some advice, which benefited him a lot.

Obviously, this Xiaoyaozi will inherit his brother's legacy and accompany him on a journey...
