Chapter 109: Eliminating Suspicion
A few days later, the actors and staff were discharged from the hospital one after another and returned to the set.
At first, everyone was a little embarrassed even when greeting each other.
After all, we all became Splatoon that night, and the scene was truly unforgettable.
But gradually, everyone calmed down.
After all, we all became Splatoon that night, so no one should dislike anyone.
Even compared with each other.
"Jin Song, it has to be you. You didn't grow up in vain. You were the loudest that day."
"What did Brother Long say? How can I compare with you?" , I tried my best and flew several meters away. I was willing to give up."
"No, no, no, it has to be Brother Xiu. Seeing that there was no place, he lifted his feet and climbed up the tree. I was still flying in the air. See you later..."
Men’s strange tendency to compare.
"Ahhh..."
Zhang Yuan returned to the set and found Liu Qianqian looking at her lunch box frantically.
After the food poisoning incident on the set, Liu Xiaoli became more and more strict about her meals, and she was not allowed to eat the food from the set at all.
“Zhang Yuan, I’m so miserable!”
"At least you were fine that night."
Thinking of the dirty scene, Sissi nodded with a straight face.
“I heard that several of the camera guys fainted and fell on their own feces.” Sissi suddenly came closer and said in a sly manner.
"Indeed."
"If it were me, I would rather die than live." Sissi hugged her shoulders and shook, and she got goosebumps just thinking about it. pimple.
You, a person who always regards the smell of horse manure as the flavor of nature, are you qualified to say this?
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "No, those who fell into the manure vat are all alive and well."
"What?"
"Zhang Yuan!"
The two of them had just finished talking when a rough middle-aged male voice came from behind.
"Director Zhang, you are here."
Looking back, I saw a man with a big beard.
“Uh-huh!” The bearded man put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed to hide his embarrassment.
"I have something to ask you, so come here."
The two found a secluded place and sat down to talk.
"That night..." The bearded man spoke first.
"Nothing happened. I carried you into the ambulance and went to the hospital for treatment."
"Yes, yes, yes." The bearded man responded quickly, thinking that this kid has a lot of eyesight. , I really saw him right.
But the bearded man is a middle-aged man after all, not a fledgling college student, and he will not insist on friendship, trust and other seemingly illusory things.
He is a very practical person, and he knows very well that if you want to keep quiet, you have to spend money.
"I heard that your company is contracting the lunch boxes for the cast and crew?" Big Beard took the initiative to talk about it.
"Yes, this small business all depends on your care."
The bearded man waved his hand: "You're welcome, I want to hand over the meals for the leading actors and staff to you as well. Can it be done?"
"Huh?" Zhang Yuan's acting skills exploded at this moment, and he looked surprised: "Aren't these lunches contracted by a catering company?"
Big Beard observed for a while and felt that Zhang Yuan really didn't know.
"The previous company's crew is no longer needed."
"Don't you know what happened?"
Zhang Yuan suddenly lowered his head and smiled and said: "I heard other people talk about it, I don't know whether it is true or not. "
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. It was just a matter of boxed lunches, using cheap sick pork."
Zhang Jizhong said this and held it tightly. own fist.
That day, when he saw what was written in the newspaper, he was so angry that he almost threw it over on the spot.
The assistant rubbed his back for a long time, until his philtrum almost broke, and then he recovered.
He knew there was something wrong with the lunch box, but he didn’t expect that the investor’s good dog Ma Peng was the cause!
Called this guy to confront him on the spot, and even deceived him. Ma Peng dragged his sick body and couldn't bear the pressure, so he easily committed the crime.
He also revealed how much money he had collected in total.
"Director Zhang, I haven't spent a penny, so I don't dare."
"Our family has been farmers for generations, and we are afraid of poverty..."
The bearded man immediately found someone to take this person away. Exploded.
Ma Peng was still recovering from his food poisoning, and he lay back on the hospital bed with soft tissue contusions all over his body.
The bearded man became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he put the 100,000 yuan that Ma Peng spat out into his pocket...
This makes me feel much better.
He was not only angry for causing such a big scandal to the crew, but also for the "critical moment" that night. Not only did this guy not "give up his seat", he even closed the door!
Just like what Zhang Yuan said at that time.
"Does he still have a leader in his eyes?"
The little shoes Zhang Yuan gave this man to wear at that time were deeply imprinted in the bearded man's heart.
If his body hadn't recovered, he would have wanted to get up and kick Ma Peng a few times.
But just making money, even denying access to toilets, is not fatal.
Even if the crew gets food poisoning, there is still room for recovery.
The scary thing is that this matter was published in the newspaper and became the front page headline!
As a producer, Beard cannot keep a low profile.
It just so happens that such a big scapegoat... He is also guilty, and his status is high enough. He is the assistant director of the crew.
It’s just the right thing to use to offend the media and investors.
Just like when something goes wrong in the place, why are the deputies always the ones who come in? It’s actually the same thing as here.
If you have enough status but not enough connections, it is suitable to use it to worship heaven.
However, Beard has always had doubts about how the magazine obtained the detailed information.
The first thing he thought of was Zhang Yuan!
Ma Peng targets him every day. After investigation, he also found that the two had an affair in the lunch box business.
Big Beard immediately ordered people to investigate. At first, he even suspected that Zhang Yuan had poisoned him.
The subordinates reported that they found the purchase order of the meat for the boxed rice. It was purely caused by the small restaurant being greedy and cutting costs.
Then he found someone to get close to Zhang Yuan's few cooks.
Zhang Yuan had guessed this step as to why he kept them silent.
Big Beard still found no problem.
He recalled that although Ma Peng targeted Zhang Yuan, the young actor never seemed to complain about him, nor did he make any hate speech on the set.
After Zhang Jizhong thought about it for a while, he slapped him!
“Hey, I’m just a kid in his 20s.”
"How could he have such evil intentions!"
"I have only played supporting roles in a few drama groups, but now I am full of plans. I have only been out for about a year, and I have no foundation in the entertainment industry."
"How can he collude with the media to expose it?"
Big Beard confidently ruled out the correct answer...
Time returned to the present.
"This business is for you, can you handle it?" "Hey, Director Zhang trusts me and promises to complete the task." Zhang Yuan made a mean smile, this expression was inadvertently picked up from Xiao Yueyue.
I can’t hide my expression even if I’m given some favors, this is the success.
Based on his character, he doesn’t have the guts or ability to set up an exposure crew. I must have thought too much before.
Seeing his reaction, the bearded man became more and more sure of his judgment.
Just like Zhang Yuan's cognition, a confident and arrogant person like Big Beard only believes in his own judgment.
He did it perfectly this time, and no one else suspected him.
“One more thing, I read your story the other day, and it was pretty good.” The bearded man mentioned his thoughts at that time.
"I plan to organize a camera crew to ask you to talk about "Dragon Movie", and then put the video and audio on TV and radio to promote the film."
"What do you think? Like? ”
Zhang Yuan secretly smiled in his heart, this was an unexpected surprise!
"Of course you trust me." Zhang Yuan thought for a moment: "How about I put on Murong Fu's costume and tell the story, what do you think?"
"Wonderful !" The bearded man's eyes lit up, this guy knows his stuff!
I have a talent for publicity, which I like.
“Three thousand yuan per episode gives you space for ten episodes, is that enough?”
"As long as you think it's enough."
"Good boy, you can talk!" Zhang Bearded was satisfied when he saw that he had given control to him.
Zhang Yuan understood that this money was also part of the hush money.
"But..." Zhang Yuan changed the topic: "I have a request."
"Say it boldly." The bearded man waved his hand grandly.
"Can you let me choose the location for the story?"
After agreeing with the bearded man, Zhang Yuan returned to the shooting scene with brisk steps and a lighter mood.
The location he wants to choose for storytelling is of course Guangde Building!
He has already made a plan to win the Imperial Capital Cross Talk Conference in one fell swoop.
“Brother Yuan, congratulations.”
During lunch, Cao Jianjun congratulated him while suppressing a smile.
This rough guy knew that Ma Peng was kicked out of the crew.
At the same time, he also knew that this matter must be related to the boss.
I just don’t know how he did it.
Because of this, I have great admiration for Zhang Yuan.
If it were him, he would definitely be like a piece of fish on a plate, ready to be slaughtered.
"Shh, don't say anything. Remember what I said. You don't know anything."
"Understood." Cao Jianjun immediately lowered his voice.
The working meal was replaced by Zhang Yuan’s team, and the leading actors immediately felt the difference.
"Hey, the food is so much better as soon as we come back. Is it Big Beard's birthday?" Hu Jun picked up the chopsticks excitedly and looked at the big fish and meat in the lunch box.
"Be careful not to let Director Zhang hear what you say." Liu Tao's cheeks, which had some baby fat, have lost a lot of weight.
"Well, Zhang Yuan arranged it and asked someone to add vegetables for us." Chen Hao said, pointing to the pot of stewed elbow.
The meat is so shiny that the skin trembles when the chopsticks touch it. The meat is already falling off the bone before it is put to your mouth. This elbow is absolutely amazing.
“It’s time to replace your people a long time ago. What did you eat before?” Hu Jun angrily scolded: “I heard that guy is still lying in the hospital.”
“ Big Beard had a big fight with the investors and said he wanted to completely ban the assistant director.”
"Bah, we deserve it for causing us such misery!" Jiang Xin bit her elbow viciously. She had just lost a little weight, but she regained it before her eyes.
“My butt hurts even now!” She twisted her hips and adjusted her sitting posture.
"Then let Zhang Yuan help you treat it with the stick method, goose goose..." Liu Tao let out a lewd laugh.
In the next few days, Zhang Yuan was in a good mood.
Money was made, and there was also the unexpected bonus of storytelling.
Originally working hard and earning a super-low salary of RMB 30,000, his actual total income from the "Dragon" crew was much higher than that of the previous "Heaven and Dragon Sword".
On the other hand, "Conquest" finished broadcasting on Jinling Channel, with the final average ratings reaching 7.9%, beating the crowd and topping the TV drama rankings at the beginning of the year.
Zhao Decai, the coal boss, sealed him a red envelope worth 50,000 yuan and paid it directly to his bank account.
Fifty thousand is a lot of money these days, equivalent to two years’ salary of a college graduate.
It’s all smooth sailing and full of rewards.
But that day, he received an unexpected call.
"Zhang Yuan, you are such a heartless person, you didn't even contact me."
"Huh?"
Zhang Yuan looked confused, and Jia Jia came on the phone. Jing Wen's delicate voice.
“Hahaha, you’re kidding, how are you doing lately?”
Zhang Yuan knew that the other party would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, but he still told the other party in detail about his current situation, although he was a little worried about the phone bill.
“Wow, you are so awesome, you even started your own business.” Jia Jingwen said with a smile, she was very happy for him.
"Actually, I'm calling you because there's something... Well, a friend asked me to find out the news."
After greetings, we got to the point.
“There is an actress named Liu Tao in your crew, right?”
Zhang Yuan was wary.
"My friend's name is Li Weimin. He is a Baodao architect. He also has another identity... He is Liu Tao's real boyfriend."
"He heard rumors that Liu Tao Tao is having an affair with someone else on the set, do you know about it?”
Then just look at the color of your friend’s head... Zhang Yuan complained in his heart.
But he answered without thinking at all.
"I don't understand."
"Hahaha, I understand, thank you."
What kind of person is Jia Jingwen? Waiting for one is excellent and very clever.
I don’t know, I just don’t deny it, but I don’t want to get into trouble by telling the truth.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and a tacit understanding of each other.
"That's right, you said you wanted to come to Treasure Island to play with me before. You lied." Jia Jingwen changed the subject very wisely.
She just wants to help her friend and sell her favors, and will not force Zhang Yuan to take sides.
"I'll be here in a while, probably soon, I'm already going through the formalities."
"It's true!" Jia Jingwen said happily: "Don't lie to me. ”
“It’s settled, guaranteed to arrive”
This person made an agreement with Jia Jingwen, and as soon as he put down his cell phone, he saw Hu Jun walking straight towards him.
Different from the swaggering and high-spirited appearance of the past, Hu Jun was a little squirmy now, with an unnatural expression, as if he was holding back something difficult.
"It's far away." Hu Jun chuckled a few times and came over: "I have something to ask you for help."
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. "Zhang Yuan's heart was ringing with alarm bells, and he always felt that it was not a good thing.
"You know what happened between me and Liu Tao..."
