Chapter 21 Sustainable wool harvesting
In the evening, in the hotel room.
“Isn’t this bullying an honest person?” Chen Kun stood up angrily, pointed at Zhang Yuan and shouted angrily.
"Why, you still want to default on the bill." Zhang Yuan smiled and took a few 10 yuan bills from the other party.
Zhang Yuan and several young leading actors often gather in the hotel to fight landlords or play mahjong after work.
He had been working in construction sites for more than ten years in his previous life. Many people who were difficult to deal with had to rely on drinking to get acquainted, and many transactions that could not be done on the table needed to be carried out by playing cards. Therefore, his card skills cannot be said to be very good, but they are definitely better than These bits are much stronger.
In the past few weeks, Chen Kun, who is addicted to food, has lost more than 3,000 yuan to Zhang Yuan.
Although this amount of money is nothing to him, after all, this film alone has a salary of 500,000.
You know, when he filmed "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" two or three years ago, he was also the lead actor and his salary was only 90,000, which was more than five times the amount.
But what made him angry was that his card skills were insulted by the other party.
Many celebrities are like this. Leslie Cheung once said on a show that Faye Wong, who has terrible poker skills, once said this to him.
"You can say that I'm not good at singing, but you can't say that I'm bad at playing cards!"
[Stubborn]
The same goes for Chen Kun now.
The key is that he is from Chongqing, and the mahjong soul of Sichuan and Chongqing does not allow him to admit defeat.
"No, if you come again, I will make a comeback!" Chen Kun sat down again angrily.
"Come on, if we lose again we will have to play strip mahjong." Zhang Yuan pointed to the opponent's empty wallet.
Hearing the words "Strip Mahjong", a flash of excitement flashed in Dong Jie's eyes at the table, which was caught by Zhang Yuan.
He knows that this sweet girl with a little baby fat who plays the role of Bai Yueguang in the play is not as innocent as she looks.
I was photographed kissing other actors in the street during their marriage, and the key target was Wang Dazhi...not to mention the crooked melon and jujube, with her he also felt a bit like Beauty and the Beast.
I can only say that this person is probably not a handsome guy, he probably likes talented people.
Hey, so to speak, Brother Kun is pretty much the same.
Zhang Yuan suddenly thought that the appearance of Brother Kun's future son is more than one level different from his. What the hell does the child have to look like to make my Brother Kun's genes look like that.
Both of them are probably not looking for looks.
"Forget it, let's not play anymore, I have something else to do." Zhang Yuan didn't think much more, and turned around and left the room regardless of Chen Kun's use of the "provoking method".
Brother Kun is so angry.
"Mom, I can't play him in acting, and I can't beat him in playing cards. I'm so angry!"
"Okay, why are you so anxious? Isn't he good at lines? , we also have our own advantages," Qiao Zhenyu said with relief.
"Also..."
On the other side, Zhang Yuan came to Aunt Wu Jing's room and knocked on the door.
"Yuan is coming, come in!"
Zhang Yuan stepped into the house. At a mahjong table, Kou Zhenghai, who played Mr. Jin, and Huang Meiying, who played the mother of the heroine Leng Qingqiu, were cracking melon seeds when they saw him When they arrived, the faces of the two old men were beaming with joy.
"Xiaoyuan, hurry up and sit down, we are waiting for you."
Why are you so anxious to leave Chen Kun and the others?
In order to catch up with this "senior group"!
Zhang Yuan first took out a bag of fine scented tea from his pocket, brewed it, and gave each of the three veteran actors a cup, harvesting a small wave of attributes at will.
After sitting down, start counting cards.
The poker skills of these veteran actors are obviously much higher than those of the youth group next door, but they are still slightly inferior to Zhang Yuan.
But unlike Chen Kun and others, Zhang Yuan is not here to make money.
"Three." Zhang Yuan pushed out one.
Huang Meiying on the opposite side was full of joy. She pushed her card array and shouted excitedly: "What a fool!"
[Received thanks from Huang Meiying, physical skills +3! 】
“Nine cakes.”
“What a fool!” Aunt Wu Jing clapped her hands happily.
【Received thanks from Wu Jing, speaking base +3! 】
"Twenty thousand."
"All the same!" Kou Zhenghai laughed. [Received thanks from Kou Zhenghai, acting foundation +2, line skills +1, line skills +2! 】
Four people were playing cards and one person was shooting off cannons, and they were talking about Zhang Yuan.
This is the real purpose of his coming here to play cards!
I always give him a shot when I have nothing to do. Why don't these guys thank him in their hearts?
After Wu Jing contributed some lines to him that day, he thought of picking up lines from several veteran actors to make up for his own shortcomings.
After trying it, the trick of sending water is still useful, but the efficiency is too low.
Everyone on the set of "Conquest" is poor and in difficulty, so I would be grateful if someone brought water. But it was different here. There were several tea workers on the set, and Zhang Yuan couldn't even get involved.
So he got smart and came up with a sustainable wool harvesting plan around mahjong.
To put it simply, you win money from Chen Kun and lose money from these veteran actors.
Using young people’s money to subsidize the elderly, Zhang Yuanyuan calls it the pension insurance of the new era.
Don't think it's enough as long as you lose. In fact, it's more difficult than winning money with Chen Kun and the others. If you want to lose, you have to lose without leaving any trace.
This is Zhang Yuan's "real skill" that he learned from playing cards with leaders at all levels in his previous life.
How to send money to the supervisor if not on the construction site?
The key point is that these three veteran actors do have something!
Kou Zhenghai is an 85-level graduate of Beijing Film Academy. He has been working for almost 20 years now. He started out as a voice actor. Can he be good at his lines?
Wu Jing has already introduced him before, and the other Huang Meiying is even more fierce.
This is the old artist who later played the role of the mother in Xu Shanzheng's "囧Mom". He joined the Bayi Factory in 1979 and enjoyed full teacher-level treatment!
In the Bayi Factory, he was nicknamed "Yiyi Huang". He was always good at acting, and his line skills were astonishingly strong.
With these three people helping him, Zhang Yuan's line attributes are soaring these days!
After losing all the hundreds of dollars he won from Chen Kun today, Zhang Yuan pushed the cards with a grimace.
"You three are so good at playing cards. If you continue like this, I will almost lose all my salary!"
Chen Kun:...
"Young people should be treated as friends. Tuition. ”
"You are so smart, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future."
A few people responded with smiles. Winning money is a trivial matter, but these few felt that they were the god of gambling when they played cards with Zhang Yuan. Very cool.
"You guys see me losing so miserably, why don't you give me some tips on acting, just treat me as pitiful." Zhang Yuan touched the scented tea on his cheek like tears.
"You guys are waiting for us here..."
With the attributes and theoretical blessings of the three veteran actors, Zhang Yuan left the room with satisfaction.
Although it was getting late, he did not go back to his room to rest, but knocked on the door of another room.
Zhang Yuan felt like a receptionist who had to go to bed several times a night.
“Zhang Yuan is here.”
He didn’t know how many times he heard this sentence tonight.
The room we return to this time belongs to Wang Bozhao, who plays the villain Bai Xiongqi in the film.
This man once played the role of a white dragon horse in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" and is well known throughout the country.
But Lao Wang is probably more famous for his incident a few years later when he was beaten up by two bad guys from Hong Kong on the set of "Little Fish and Flowers".
That incident was the focus of the competition between the Beijing and Hong Kong circles at that time, and it led to the fate of a bunch of big guys.
In terms of acting skills, he is slightly inferior to the three veteran actors, but this one has made great achievements in calligraphy, Chinese painting, and even martial arts.
Member of the Calligraphy Association and academician of the Famous Calligraphy and Painting Academy are his titles, and his martial arts skills come from Lin Zhiqian, the martial arts director of the "Journey to the West" crew.
And Lin Zhiqian’s master is the famous martial artist Wan Laisheng!
Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster" once mentioned the "Five Tigers Going to Jiangnan" in "The Southern Legend of Northern Quan", and Wan Laisheng was one of them.
Zhang Yuan has long been eyeing Wang Bozhao and wants to get some "authentic" martial arts attributes from him.
This man happened to be a teacher, so Zhang Yuan took advantage of this and became a teacher on the set. He practiced calligraphy with him every day and picked up his attributes.
I have been "sustainably harvesting wool" for more than ten days.
This day happened to be a big show for dozens of people...
