Chapter 118 Investors’ Requirements
There is a hotel near Taohua Island Scenic Area.
At first, Huang Bo thought Zhang Yuan would drag him to eat at the barbecue stall or even the crew’s box lunch.
After all, my identity is there... I just don’t have any identity at all.
These days, Huang Bo thinks it would be nice to have a box lunch, which at least means he has a living.
Why are the performances of actors like Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, and Zhao Benshan so down-to-earth, especially when they play small characters, they are always so lifelike.
Because I used to be at the bottom of society and was really a nobody.
Art originates from life and is higher than life. They have life, so they are like gods when performing.
Huang Bo did not expect that Zhang Yuan would drag them to a nearby hotel and order a full table.
The beasts in the mountains are swallows in the clouds, cattle and sheep on land are fresh from the sea, monkey head bird's nests, shark fins, bear paws, scallops and deer tail tips... none of these.
Those expensive and flashy dishes are all for show. When dining in private, Zhang Yuan prefers to order home-cooked dishes.
High bluff, of course Huang Bo was present.
Classmate Liu Qianqian was also filming with Zhang Yuan just now. When she heard that there was a banquet, she spontaneously followed her.
Of course, her mother’s presence was also indispensable.
I haven’t seen Shu Chang since the hospital, so I called her over.
This girl looks like she has lost a lot of weight. I don't know if she is tired from filming or from working all night to study.
Anyway, the table was full, and Liu Qianqian was the only one who really came here for the meal, but her mother didn’t let her enjoy it.
"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, did I do well in my performance this afternoon?" Xixi asked as she gnawed on a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and tilted her head.
“Just so so.” Zhang Yuan shrugged.
“I think I performed very well, and the director didn’t criticize me.” Sissi was in a good mood when facing the delicious food.
"Is there a possibility that the director is too lazy to talk to you?" He looked disgusted and kept shaking his head.
Huang Bo's heart trembled on the opposite side.
"Liu Xiaoli is here, you are seeking death by talking about her daughter like that!"
Although he is not in the undergraduate class, Huang Bo has also heard a lot of rumors about Liu Qianqian in Nortel. .
Especially her mother who is on call 24 hours a day for personal protection.
During class at school on weekdays, a few boys occasionally struck up a conversation with Liu Qianqian.
Beauty will attract chats, but if it is too beautiful, it will make people feel inferior, feel unworthy of the other person, and appear to be unfriendly to strangers.
As Liu Qianqian said, the period when most boys chased her in her life was from kindergarten to elementary school.
Boys at that age are just children. Instead, they do whatever they want, are extremely bold, and will nibble on whoever they like, without any scruples.
When she came to Nortel, there were not many people who wanted to chase her, but the rest who showed up would be invited to tea by her mother in a blink of an eye.
It’s really a treat for tea.
Liu Xiaoli would also greet her with a smile, making the boys feel at home and at the same time asking her to take more care of Sissy at school.
This move of being polite first and then attacking scared all these guys away. After all, in terms of mentality and aura, how could they outplay Aunt Liu.
There were even a few boys who had a "thief's heart" after having a long conversation with Liu Xiaoli, and shifted their interest to Liu Xiaoli, who still had her charm.
Of course, the results for this type of boys are even worse. After all, Liu Xiaoli is a master at being a licker.
So even Huang Bo knows that this eldest sister is not easy to mess with, but she can protect her.
I felt a little sweat for Zhang Yuan.
“Hey, be careful.”
Sissi tilted her head to chat with her. A strand of hair fell naturally, and the ends of her hair almost soaked into the soup bowl in front of her. Zhang Yuan hurriedly raised his hand. , help her tie her hair to the back of her neck.
“That’s it, you’re still touching her hair!” Huang Bo closed his eyes and didn’t dare to look, for fear that Liu Xiaoli would get angry and hit her in the next second.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear anyone muttering, so he looked sideways at Aunt Liu.
Then he was surprised to find that Liu Xiaoli was not only not angry, but also listened to their chat with a smile, as if she didn't care at all.
"Has he even mastered this one?"
Huang Bo pushed Gao Fu beside him with his elbow and asked with his eyes.
“I don’t know either, but since she came to the set, this mother has been particularly kind to him and more enthusiastic than she is to us.”
Huang Bo rolled his eyes and thought to himself.
Is this the legend that if you want to get your daughter, you have to get your mother-in-law first?
Seeing that Liu Qianqian often whispered to Zhang Yuan and sometimes covered her mouth happily, Huang Bo thought to himself that Zhang Yuan's psychological quality is so good. His mother is right next to him and he can still talk and laugh happily.
He just can't. Even though he has attended many dinner parties, he still feels a little cramped when his parents are around.
After all, many adult topics and jokes used to liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table can only be kept in the stomach.
"We pay tribute to our new friend, Mr. Huang Bo." Halfway through the meal, Zhang Yuan took the lead in raising a glass.
"I have watched his movies and TV series. His performance is very good, and he looks like a movie king!"
"I don't dare to take it, I just make a living." Huang Bo hurriedly smiled and shied away. .
"I'm serious." Zhang Yuan's expression suddenly became serious: "We are all insiders and don't speak in layman's terms."
"I think you are very strong, born to be Eat this meal.”
"Really? I'll go take a look too." Seeing Zhang Yuan say this, Liu Xiaoli also became interested.
Huang Bo glanced at Zhang Yuan.
"Is his talk so effective?"
We sat at the same table for half an hour. Apart from the initial greetings, Liu Xiaoli had no interest in him.
Especially after knowing that he was just a student from Nortel Vocational College and majoring in dubbing, he even put on a polite but awkward smile.
She was 13 years older than her daughter, but it turned out that she didn't even have a bachelor's degree, and she didn't have any popular roles.
Liu Xiaoli deduced from this, knowing that he must have no background.
Of course she didn't take such a "mediocre" older actor to heart.
But Zhang Yuan praised her so much that she became more careful.
After all, she knows Zhang Yuan’s sharp eyes.
"Classmate Huang Bo, I would like to drink tea instead of wine and have a toast alone. Xixi and I are classmates, and we will take care of each other from now on." Liu Xiaoli showed her instinct of preferring to believe that she has something rather than believing that she has nothing, and made a friendly gesture.
"When he speaks, others are willing to listen..." Huang Bo was stunned when his attitude towards her changed drastically, but he was a showman after all, and quickly adjusted his attitude and flattered the other party.
As a result, Huang Bo felt that Zhang Yuan was unfathomable and wanted to have a few more drinks with him.
A few people were changing cups, while Liu Qianqian was busy taking a few more bites while her mother was not paying attention. At this moment, the door of the private room not far from their table suddenly opened.
Zhang Yuan glanced accidentally and found a few acquaintances.
The one who took the lead to go out was Zhang Jizhong, whose cheeks were flushed and smelled of alcohol.
The bearded man's face was not very good, and there seemed to be a trace of sullenness between his brows.
Beside him stood a tall, middle-aged man with a strange accent, like Cantonese with a hint of Northeastern flavor.
The stranger was holding the taller girl by the hand with an affectionate attitude. Zhang Yuan actually knew this woman. She was in the same crew and she was the one who played Li Qiushui.
Behind these three people, there were also three brothers, Ju Jueliang, Zhao Jian, Yuan Bing, Zhang Youhe, who accompanied them all the time with smiling faces.
Zhang Yuan looked sideways and found that Shu Chang frowned slightly and bit his lip helplessly, obviously worried.
I also look at these people from time to time, this matter must be related to them.
When the dinner was over, Zhang Yuan sent Huang Bo to the hotel. This guy was already here and planned to stay a few more days to relax.
After settling down, he took the elevator, came upstairs, and knocked on Shu Chang's door.
"Brother Yuan, are you looking for me?" Shu Chang was wearing pink pajamas and half-rimmed glasses. There were some dark ink stains on his wrists. He should be tutoring for homework.
"Come in and talk." Shu Chang then leaned down, found a pair of disposable slippers in the shoe cabinet, and helped him open it.
After Zhang Yuan put on his slippers, Shu Chang carefully helped him arrange the shoes neatly and put them aside.
Turn around and boil water and make tea.
After working for a while, he sat down in front of Zhang Yuan. During this time, he was still tying his hair with his fingers, trying his best to keep his appearance neat.
"Remember what I told you?" Zhang Yuan waited until she finished giving instructions, then whispered softly: "If you encounter anything unhappy on the set, you must tell me."
"Remember..." Shu Chang lowered his head uneasily.
"So tell me, is someone bullying you?" Zhang Yuan took a sip of tea: "Is it the singer who played Li Qiushui?"
"Sister Xing is a nice person. , but..." Shu Chang hesitated.
“I’m a coy guy. If you have anything to say, speak up. You’re not an outsider.”
It's not like he was an outsider... Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Shu Chang raised his head and glanced at him. His cheeks were slightly red, and he mustered up his courage before speaking.
"Sister Xie Yuxing is very good, she sings well, and her acting is quite serious."
"It's just that I have been filming a lot recently." Shu Chang said cautiously and very carefully.
“Reshoot? Is it the old NG?”
“No, she asked the director to reshoot her scenes. She felt that Li Qiushui’s scenes were too few.”
"Oh, this is a reshoot." Zhang Yuan rubbed his chin: "If she wants to add more scenes, it should actually be beneficial to you."
"After all, the one who has the most scenes opposite Li Qiushui is Tianshan Tonglao "
"Well, reshooting is time-consuming, and I still want to prepare for the exam. Besides..." Shu Chang kept rubbing his hands, a little shy: "The appearance of the Tianshan child is too ugly!"
Zhang Yuan blocked his mouth with his fist and chuckled a few times.
It turns out that even though she is a "little actor", she is still a girl after all, and she is still obsessed with her appearance.
Although it's only the beginning of the year, the first audition for the Chinese drama is just a week away.
After that, there will be re-examinations, interviews, and preparations for the June exam. Shu Chang’s time is really tight.
If it is an old remake, even if she can take leave to take the exam, it will affect her review.
Besides, the bearded man is so stingy that he won’t be given a penny of overtime pay even if he shoots for a few more months.
Zhang Yuan remembered that Shu Chang had mentioned before that Xie Yuxing always wanted to add drama to him.
But there is no way, there is an investor behind it... Oh, the person next to Big Beard today should be the financial owner.
After chatting for a while, Shu Chang would beat his legs for a while and squeeze her shoulders for a while. Zhang Yuan left in time for fear of "resulting in death" if he continued to toss.
The next afternoon, while continuing to shoot the scene in the Eagle Palace, I saw Gao Fu sitting in the rest area sighing.
“What’s wrong?”
“Annoying.” Gao Hui scratched his head hard, causing dandruff to fly, and Zhang Yuan hurriedly hid aside.
"My previous scenes seem to have been in vain."
"Big Beard wants to replace you?" He thought, he had never heard of this.
The two were familiar enough to make a joke.
"Can you be more hopeful for me?" Gao Fu rolled his eyes at him: "It's me and Tong Lao, Li Qiu Shui's role seems to be ruined."
Gao Fu just left the scene in the morning Big Beard knew about this, and now he was complaining to him with a sad face.
"Didn't Director Zhou quit the get out of class because he didn't want to reshoot the big scenes like Yanmen Pass and Shaoshi Mountain."
"Now that Director Ju has been replaced to reshoot, Big Beard went to investors to increase the budget."< br>
“Speaking of which, it still has your business.” Gao Fu smiled half-angrily, and said helplessly: “Why don’t you help Big Beard deal with Wang Fei.”
“Now he’s taking this Telling the story, he invited the diva to sing the theme song, and the requirements for the work must be higher, so he has to add money."
Zhang Yuan had already imagined in his mind that the bearded man would appear in front of the investors and "add money. Brother" picture.
It was no surprise to him that a man like Zhang Jizhong, who was so fond of success, would certainly put the credit on his head.
“But this matter reached the ears of Miss Xie from the investors.”
“She proposed that Li Qiushui’s scene should be re-filmed to increase her own role. After all, money is all It was her man."
"That's not all!" Gao Fu looked at him cautiously: "This woman is also eyeing the theme song prepared for Wang Fei."
"She wants to use it and sing it herself!"
Gao Feng knew clearly that Zhang Yuan had gone to great lengths to get the queen to nod, but now he had to make wedding clothes for others, for fear of his wrath.
But the storm he imagined did not appear.
Zhang Yuan was very calm, just frowning slightly and lowering his head in thought.
He was recalling everything about the female singer.
“This one can do it.”
"But it seems that she has not become very popular in later generations."
"But every time Shu Chang mentions her, I always feel a sense of familiarity."
"I always feel that I have missed something. What key elements..."
"I remember that this person seemed to have an affair with Yuan Heping for some reason in later generations, and he was almost sued."
"This person also appeared in several roles. There are few popular dramas, but they are all supporting roles.”
"With this analysis, her background should be quite deep, otherwise where would she get so many resources?"
"Background..." As he thought about it, Zhang Yuan's face changed dramatically, from white to red, and then from red to white again. , startled Gao Fang beside him.
"What's wrong with you?" Gao Feng was moved.
Look, Zhang Yuan’s face changed because he was worried about me.
After a long time, his expression softened and he sat down on the stone bench.
He remembered.
He understood why he felt familiar yet strange to this woman.
Because it is not this woman who is famous, but the investor he accidentally caught a glimpse of yesterday...
