On this day, Zhang Yuangang had just attended the signing ceremony for Bravely Entering the World.
After a whole day of shooting, a commercial was released.
Meimei is calculating her income at home.
"This time I have received 12 million yuan, which should be enough for a few days, right?" He crossed his legs contentedly.
"We have to prepare 4 million to repay the loan for the next quarter." Chang Chang calculated the accounts for him.
"The company still has to spend more than one million yuan to buy a car, although it can be tax deducted."
"The private catering company has to settle accounts at the end of the year, and there is a small amount of one million."
"So much!" Zhang Yuan sat up straight.
"How would I know? It's all your treat."
Zhang Yuan scratched his head. It was indeed a bit of a disadvantage to get a house this year.
The key point is that there are several tables to eat, and the one with abalone, ginseng, wing and belly and large lobster is indeed not cheap.
Including labor and high-priced drinks, it is indeed very expensive.
But some entertainment is essential, and compared to the income, it is just a small amount of money.
"In the next few months for the Chinese New Year, I have to give out red envelopes. With so many people going up and down, I think I need a few hundred thousand." Changshang pulled the strokes.
"At this point, half of them are gone."
Zhang Yuan scratched his head hard.
Is it really true that I go out to work to support a family?
"When the accounts are settled before the Chinese New Year, I estimate that there will be a lot of money back." Shu Chang pushed up the pink half-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose.
"By the way, there is also "Big Movie: Billions", the box office is not bad, it has been three weeks."
"It's a little over 20 million, and it's estimated that it will break through 20 million before the next shift."
"So we should have made a fortune."
"A small amount." Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention.
The original expectations were not high, with a box office of 20 to 30 million. For a small-budget comedy these days, the results are actually pretty good.
After all, the national box office total is not much.
Zhang Yuan estimated that he could get a few million.
Later on, if you sell the copyrights and CDs, you can still make a few million in revenue, that's fine.
"Good thing. When the movie is released, we will have a celebration party... and Zeng Zhiwei will pay for it." After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he added another sentence.
I have been spending a lot of money recently, so I have to hide away.
"There's still no movement on the payment from "Soldier Assault"?"
"Well, Sister Sisi and I have contacted each other." Shu Chang replied with a frown.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this. I'll go find Hua Yi."
“Such a big company is shameless.”
Zhang Yuan cursed.
"Also, I got the things you asked me to order."
Shu Chang took out a large gift box from his bag and placed it on the table.
After Zhang Yuan opened the lid, a red light suddenly appeared.
A Bulgari ruby necklace appeared in front of them.
Except for the faceted gem the size of a quail egg in the center, the necklace is made of white gold and is inlaid with countless diamonds, as well as a dozen smaller red stones.
No need to ask about the price, anyone who comes here will know that it is expensive.
I don’t know how many women have been fascinated by it.
But in fact, this is considered cheap.
"Talent" can reach hundreds of thousands.
If the main stone is the size of a dove egg and surrounded by quail eggs, it can cost tens of millions.
"You advanced this money, right? Quickly withdraw the money from the company's account and pay it back to yourself." Zhang Yuan glanced at it for a moment, then closed the lid.
"Oh, Brother Yuan, are you... planning to give it away?" Although Shu Chang is not greedy for jewelry, as a girl, it is inevitable to attract attention.
"So be it."
"Send a woman?"
"Isn't it appropriate for a man to wear this?" Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"Who are you giving it to?" Changshang asked a little sourly.
She thought to herself, it would be great if it was given to herself.
But she understood that this thing definitely didn't belong to her.
I don’t know any woman who is so lucky.
Take this thing out, why don’t ordinary girls take it off on the spot?
"It's not a gift, it's a return of favor." Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"Keep the invoice and prepare it for tax deduction."
"Tax deduction?"
"Use this jewelry?" Shu Chang thought for a while, but he never heard that jewelry can be tax deductible.
"Jewelry is not tax deductible, but charity is."
"Hey, there's going to be a Bazaar charity gala in a few days." Zhang Yuan rubbed his face vigorously.
It's not Cheng Hao's fault.
Asking Harper's Bazaar and FHM to help can't be in vain.
I already promised that I would do my best.
His idea is, either don’t do it or never do it.
When you have to return a favor, you have to do it beautifully.
By the way, get some benefits for yourself.
Turning around, he saw Shu Chang with a relaxed expression on his face.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I feel at ease." Singer replied.
At least I know I'm not sending a wild woman away.
After talking here, I went out to attend the premiere of "A City of Golden Armor".
End of year drama!
If Lao Mouzi doesn't take action, no one dares to make a conclusion on this year's box office rankings.
Even "The Night Banquet" and "Fearless" both received over 100 million box office.
But everyone was still staring at Lao Mouzi.
"As a senior, Fa Ge, what would you like to say about Zhang Yuan's upcoming career in Hollywood?"
reporters asked at the press conference.
"Wish him good luck." Fa Ge said casually.
I thought to myself that even though I was doing just fine, how could you, the kid, make such a big splash?
"Zhang Yuan, we found that you are involved in these blockbusters this year."
""Fearless", "Baby Project", "The Night Banquet" and now "The City of Golden Armor"."
"Are you only involved in high-grossing movies?"
The reporter’s question didn’t come out well-intentioned.
"Actually, I also went to visit the set of "Ink Attack"." Zhang Yuan replied without thinking.
"It seems that all the crews I have been to have achieved good results."
"It shows that I am a popular box office person."
"If you want to put it this way, I have been on the crew of "The Golden Jacket" for so long, and the box office of this movie should be amazing."
When Lao Mouzi heard what he said, he thought he was singing a happy song to me and the movie.
Then he grinned.
Gong Li also smiled and his chest trembled.
"Sure enough, such a small thing can't trouble him."
Emperor Gong also praised him in his subsequent reply.
Zhang Yuan had experienced the subsequent process many times and was very familiar with it.
After the show, we didn’t have a dinner together like other crew members.
Everyone is a busy person, and they go their separate ways after the event.
Lao Mouzi, in particular, will have to concentrate on the Olympic opening ceremony and even have to take a break from acting for more than a year.
As soon as he finished his work here, Zhang Yuan received a call.
"Junior brother, you are very popular in the industry recently!"
It was Guo Degang calling.
In recent days, the fact that Zhang Yuan accompanied Yuan Kuocheng to attend the funeral of Mr. Guan Xuezeng has spread throughout the folk art circle.
The previous criticism against him in the circle instantly dissipated.
That’s it, people will have a “system” in the future!
But I just don’t dare to scold.
The envy, jealousy and hatred from before have not disappeared at all, and have even become worse.
I used to just envy him for being famous and rich.
Now I am still envious that he has the recognition of the Yuan family.
Don't talk about them, Teacher Guo is actually envious too.
Because he can also speak storytelling, and he plans to become a disciple soon!
The storytelling master he was looking for was named Jin Wensheng, an old gentleman who had lived in Jinmen for a long time.
Like Zhang Wenshun, the crooked-shouldered old man who first partnered with Teacher Guo, this man is from the literary generation.
And they are all well-known "non-mainstream".
Zhang Wenshun was expelled from the school for falling in love with a female classmate.
Jin Wensheng was arrested and imprisoned for more than half a year because he was outspoken and had a bad temper when he was working in the Jinmen Folk Art Troupe.
This is called same-sex attraction, also known as "smelly attraction".
They are all people who have been suppressed by the "mainstream".
But Teacher Guo even had a bad temper with Mr. Jin.
He doesn’t have to worship the “non-mainstream” either.
It's not like there's nothing we can do.
Seeing that he was about to become a disciple, Zhang Yuan wanted to be a disciple not only of the mainstream, but also of the Yuan family, the top one in the mainstream.
Yuan Kuocheng's Yuan family is on the same level as the Yuan family in the early days of "Three Kingdoms" in the storytelling world, and it definitely has a good reputation.
How could he not be envious?
And even seniority alone is at a disadvantage.
They are the same generation in cross talk, but after finishing storytelling, Zhang Yuan became his uncle...
Also, his daughter-in-law Wang Hui is a celebrity in Dagu books. She performed on stage when she was a teenager. She became famous early and has a high seniority.
But even so, he is still not qualified to attend the funeral of Mr. Guan Xuezeng, the master of drums and qinshu.
Not enough levels and relationships!
When they heard that Zhang Yuan could go, the couple was also sad.
Being able to go to certain occasions represents industry status.
"Let's have a meal at home." Teacher Guo invited: "I've been saying that you're not free either." "If you have time recently, let's get together and call everyone in the group."
"Your sister-in-law and I will cook and entertain ourselves."
"Hey, then I will definitely come!"
Zhang Yuan turned around and went to his house.
Guo Degang has become rich in recent years.
I bought a new house in Chaoyang.
Although it is not a villa, it is a duplex with a yard, and the place is quite spacious.
Not only is he there today, Brother Qian is also here.
But Mrs. Qian didn't come, she was taking care of the children at home.
Now more than ten apprentices and students recruited by the cross talk club are also present.
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Master Guo, have you grown taller recently?" Zhang Yuan teased Guo Qilin.
"Grow up quickly, as long as you can surpass his father." Brother Qian praised him while smoking a cigarette.
“It’s not much higher than it is.”
Guo Qilin wore black-rimmed glasses and laughed.
When he saw his father coming, he immediately put away his smile.
Being around him, his uncle, and Brother Qian, his master, made me feel relaxed, but when my dad came, I felt tense all over.
"Xiaoyue, how are you doing lately?"
"Okay, okay." Yue Yunteng lowered his head and replied.
"Gold, come!" Zhang Yuan waved his hand and called Cao Yunjing over.
He and He Yunwei are now the two eldest brothers in the group.
Apart from the master and uncle, they are the only ones who can take the lead.
Zhang Yuan had specifically asked him to keep an eye on Xiao Yue.
So I have to ask him now.
"How has he been studying recently?"
"I've made progress, but I'm still not enlightened." Jin Jin squatted beside him and replied.
"Can you go on stage?"
"It's okay to be a back-up player, but I can't save the bottom."
For the finale, the big axis doesn't have this ability, and I'm worried that he won't be able to open well at the beginning. At most, he can only have two short shows of ten minutes... That's pretty much what it means.
"Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye on you from now on."
"Yes." Cao Yunjing agreed and walked away.
He always felt that his uncle was more intimidating than his master, and being around him was quite stressful.
"Don't embarrass me!" Zhang Yuan patted the back of Yue Yunteng's head.
"I tried my best."
"But..."
He has low self-esteem.
Zhang Yuan felt that it was not good to hit him all the time. After all, he still planned to make money from him, so he comforted him.
"Becoming famous comes sooner or later. If you keep working hard, you might become famous one day."
"But what if you still don't wake up?" He glanced at Kong Yunlong, who was hovering next to his wife.
At that time, the two of them were sneaked into the cross talk club from Haiwanju by Zhang Yuanti.
They both started from the same point.
But now?
Kong Yunlong has become a disciple and performs on stage every day.
Xiaoyue only plays three games a week, and two of them are for others.
In terms of income alone, there are four or five people who surpass him.
The key is that this guy is smart and knows how to trick people.
The mistress takes charge of everything from eating, drinking and dressing to buying clothes for festivals.
Xiaoyue has nothing.
What makes him even more disparate is that the master has already planned to arrange a special performance for Kong Yunlong!
People will hold special shows and become the main guest.
I'm still dawdling here.
His feeling can be shared by many of Zhang Yuan's opponents.
Faced with a colleague who is progressing too quickly, people will fall into self-doubt.
"You're safe." Zhang Yuan saw what he was thinking.
"Do you know the tortoise and the hare?"
"It's okay to slow down, just keep moving forward."
"Live well and work well, there is always a chance."
"Look at Lausanne, it burned out soon after it became popular."
"Liu Dan, who played Xiang Fei, also lost popularity as soon as she was young."
"Both of them had a car accident when they were 27."
"It's useless to have a light fire. What's great is to be able to make a fire and grow a fire."
"I want to be hot too, even if the fire is gone." Xiaoyue whispered.
"I'm going to fuck you, it's for nothing!" Zhang Yuan kicked him out.
Brother Qian watched happily.
When it's time to eat, the seats at the table are arranged according to the rules.
Teacher Guo sits in the center of the emperor's seat, with two "queens" on both sides.
The queen of the family and the queen of cross talk.
Zhang Yuan sat next to Brother Qian so that they could drink together.
Xiaoyue and several other apprentices who were not apprentices could only sit on the small table nearby.
After toasting together in celebration, Teacher Guo was the first to speak.
"Congratulations to your uncle Zhang Yuan for joining the Yuan Clan!"
All the disciples looked at him with admiration.
"We all have to work hard in the next year."
"If the Pingshu Library is to be opened, the branch must also be well run."
"Whoever is a master can arrange performances."
After acting like a grown-up, he turned to chat with Zhang Yuan alone.
"We have to meet on the set later?" Teacher Guo looked at him.
"The crew?"
"Tsk, Mr. Motoyama's movie."
"Oh oh..." Zhang Yuan almost forgot.
When I was filming "Baby Project", I promised Uncle Benshan that I would make a guest appearance.
It's been so long that he can't even remember this.
It's that "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots".
"Okay, see you on the set." The two drank a toast.
This film is pretty good. It not only sells the face of Zhao Ben’s shirt, but also the face of the film.
It is a pleasure to participate in the filming of good films.
"Degang, you have to be careful when acting." Brother Qian took a sip of wine and said as he drank.
"Don't shoot with Zhang Yuan. When the time comes, people will say that if you come from a litter, your acting skills will be so different."
"Hehehe..." Teacher Guo licked his lips and chuckled.
Zhang Yuan knew that Brother Qian was praising himself.
"Come, brother, eat fish. I cooked it myself." Wang Hui picked up some vegetables for Zhang Yuan.
After eating for a while, Teacher Guo pointed at Cao Yunjing, who was not far away.
"Jin Zi, you have to show your full ability when going to the TV station this time!"
"What TV station?" Zhang Yuan asked sideways.
"CCTV!"
In a while, CCTV and the Music Association will hold the third CCTV Crosstalk Competition.
Deyuanshe has become popular in the past two years, and CCTV took the initiative to invite it.
Teacher Guo sent his favorite disciple Cao Yunjing to participate.
He attached great importance to this competition and even wrote and rehearsed programs for his apprentices.
Let's just say that although he wears the banner of being non-mainstream, he has always envied the mainstream.
Still want to prove myself.
Moreover, he would value it so much, and actually said so.
Because three years ago, he and Brother Qian participated in the "Imperial Crosstalk Sketch" invitational competition.
At that time, he was rushing to win the championship and make a name for himself.
But in the end, he only finished third.
So who was the winner of that competition?
They are Jia Sheng and Jia Lin in later generations.
This incident completely stimulated Teacher Guo.
In terms of ability, how could Jia Lin be better than Guo Yu.
But the master is Feng Gong!
His uncle is Jiang Kun and his master is Ma Ji.
Who do you, Guo Degang, think?
So this time CCTV invited him not to participate.
But he worked hard to make his apprentice win the championship.
My apprentice can win the championship, so it's definitely a shady case for me, the master, not to win the championship... This is what he wants to express.
Teacher Guo is very petty, and Brother Qian doesn’t take him seriously at all.
If you can't take it, just don't take it. It won't stop me from smoking, drinking, and perming my hair.
Cao Yunjing clearly felt the pressure from his master. After swallowing, he nodded vigorously.
After dinner, Wang Hui kept bringing him food, very enthusiastically.
At the same time, they inquired about him and Yuan Kuocheng.
But we were having a good time eating and chatting, but suddenly we heard Teacher Guo shouting loudly.
"What are you going to do!"
Then the chopsticks clinked on the ground.
The whole place suddenly became quiet...(End of Chapter)
