Chapter 161 The old man’s attention
“Xiaoqian, I love you!”
On the set, Zhang Yuan looked at Xu Xiyuan affectionately, trying to avoid her pair of big ears. , to avoid laughter.
“I really love you, I love you so much.”
“Do you love your Qiye brother?”
Zhang Yuan felt relaxed while reciting the lines that were like those in an idol drama, at least the words were really easy to memorize.
Xu Xiyuan in front of him looked at him affectionately, and then... laughed.
"Grrrrr..."
"Stuck!" Li Huizhu helplessly picked up the loudspeaker: "Xiyuan, what's the matter with you?"
"I thought of it Something happy." Xu Xiyuan said, patting Zhang Yuan's chest with his hand.
"You acted so well, I almost took it seriously."
If it were serious, could you not laugh?
Zhang Yuan was helpless.
This scene is his last scene on the crew!
He told Xu Xiyuan before that he changed the scene to increase the number of scenes with her, especially the emotional scenes.
Now it has been fulfilled.
“Again, Xiyuan, are you ready.”
“ACTION!”
“Xiaoqian, do you love your Qiye brother?” Zhang Yuan again Adjust your state, your eyes are affectionate, and your words are like silk, gently teasing the other person's heartstrings.
"I...I don't know."
"Ka, everyone congratulates Zhang Yuan for finishing the filming!"
Under the leadership of Li Huizhu, everyone applauded to celebrate him.
Zhang Yuan bowed to express his thanks. Needless to say, he quickly greeted everyone on the crew one by one and said goodbye warmly.
"Zhang Yuan, would you like to come to Treasure Island to play when you have time?" Xu Xiyuan said to him with a squinted smile.
I will also look for Jia Jingwen when I go to Baodao, not you... Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
"Zhang Yuan, see you later." Shen Xiaohai, Zhu Yan and others also gathered around, reluctant to leave.
"Zhang Yuan and we have collaborated twice. Do you think there will be a third time?" Chen Zihan doesn't have many scenes anymore.
But she didn’t expect that Zhang Yuan would leave earlier than herself.
After all, according to the revised script, his role has increased a lot.
"I will definitely do it. I think the next cooperation won't be too far away." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"At your current rate of progress, I'm afraid you will become a big star next time we work together. Then don't dislike me or ignore me." Chen Zihan joked.
"How is that possible? Maybe next time we have an emotional scene, I have to ask Sister Zihan to teach me."
"You are a foul-mouthed person." Chen Zihan smiled and patted him shoulders.
See you next time... Zhang Yuan thought, it should be a scene with a big beard.
However, the casting of that drama is another fierce battle, and everything is still unknown.
Yuan Hua and Wu Jing, two martial arts colleagues, also came up first to say goodbye to him.
"Zhang Yuan, you are already very strong among young people." Yuan Hua happily praised: "At the same time, your martial arts foundation is very good, don't waste it."
"Looking forward to the day when you become a Kung Fu superstar."
Yuan Hua is still the same, caring about martial arts and can't bear to see it completely decline.
"Uncle Yuan, of course!" Zhang Yuan replied firmly.
Yuan Hua saw the determination in his eyes and nodded happily.
"Brother, see you later." Wu Jing hugged him and patted him hard on the back.
"Brother Jing, if you encounter difficulties in the future, remember to come to me." He said seriously.
"Don't curse me!" Wu Jing laughed and complained, and replied at the same time: "I know, if you encounter difficulties, remember to come to me."
Zhang Yuan knew it. , this person has been living in Hong Kong for many years, and finally saved enough money to make a movie called "Spike", but the loss was like buying P2P in 2018.
It cannot be said that nothing was gained, it can only be said that everything was ruined.
After six or seven years of respite, this man once again emptied his fortune and filmed the movie "Wolf Warrior" that completely turned him around.
Wu Jing's struggle history has indeed been full of ups and downs.
Before leaving, Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan found him, holding the account book and twitching at the corners of their mouths.
According to the contract signed at the beginning, Zhang Yuan's salary was calculated on an episode basis, which was 20,000 per episode, for a total of 15 episodes, totaling 300,000.
But according to the later revised script, his role reached a full twenty-five episodes, and his salary was increased to as much as half a million.
Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan were all dumbfounded.
This guy is too ruthless in making money!
And this is legal and reasonable income, but no one can find fault with it.
“When the crew is finished working, the pay will be credited to your card.”
"Thank you, Director Li, Director Chen." Zhang Yuan calculated the accounts in his mind.
Taking into account the salary from this film, plus the income from the catering company and previous savings, the total should be over a million.
The small courtyard houses we live in now are more than 100 and less than 200 square meters. The unit price of courtyard houses today is 5,000 to 7,000 in the third ring road, and 8,000 to 10,000 in the second ring road.
If it were like the Tianlongxing lot next to the Forbidden City that Murdoch bought, it would cost 40,000 to 50,000 per square meter.
Pip Hutong is within the Second Ring Road, and the price should be around 8,000.
Zhang Yuan remembers that Yu Bo, the hero of martial arts movies in the 2000s, spent all his 2.6 million yuan in salary during this period to buy two courtyard houses, one in Shichahai and the other in Yonghe Temple.
Both of these houses are within the second ring road. From then on, Yu Bo's acting career began to decline, but he gained financial freedom because of these two houses.
“It’s time to put buying a house on the agenda, otherwise it will have to go up.”
Looking at his leaving figure, the two directors felt empty in their hearts.
"Thirteen, what do you think he will achieve in the future?" Li Huizhu asked her friend.
"Maybe I can win Best Actor, or Grand Slam Best Actor." Chen Shisan pushed up his glasses and replied.
"Haha, I think there may be more than that. Maybe one day, we will have to rely on him for food."
......
After returning to the imperial capital by plane, Zhang Yuan pushed Opening the courtyard door, we entered our long-lost residence.
The flowers and birds are still there, the air is fresh, and the whole yard is in order.
It seems that Brother Qian often takes care of it when he is away, and it is not neglected at all.
“Yo, you’re back!”
Brother Qian’s appearance is still the same. He wears a torn hurdle vest on his upper body and a pair of large boxer shorts on the bottom. He is casual and free.
Zhang Yuan put down his backpack and clapped his hands and praised him when he saw that he was wearing colorful permed hair.
"Brother Qian, your look is really attractive." "I can't help it. I have a lot of performances recently, so I have to make my hair look better." Yu Qian said, taking out two bottles of beer from the kitchen.
With a click on the edge of the stone table in the yard, a bottle of bubbling beer was placed in front of him.
Brother Qian said with a happy face: "Since you finished recording the storytelling for "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" last time, the business of Guangde Building has been getting better and better."
He was happy. , because business has gotten better, he has more shows.
Also because there are more programs, his income is also rising.
Even though Brother Qian only spends a few hours a day in a small theater, his income, coupled with the subsidy and basic salary from the Railway Art Troupe, as well as the occasional film remuneration, make this Imperial City man very popular in this day and age. Already achieved a monthly income of over 10,000!
“That’s all the effect of the broadcast.” Zhang Yuan drank half the bottle with a smile.
“No, no, no, not only that, but many of them are here for you.” Brother Qian let out a wine burp and continued: “After your show “Golden Fen Family” was aired, did you have any questions? When young girls and boys heard that this garden belonged to you, they all came here in admiration, but they always came back disappointed."
Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head, he had no time to talk about cross talk.
However, the broadcast of the work did bring him a lot of popularity, and popularity means that his salary will increase in the future.
"There are still a few colleagues in the industry who are looking for you and want to communicate with you." Brother Qian sneered: "Actually, most of them just want to establish a relationship and use your connections to jump into the cross talk garden or the film and television industry."< br>
"But there are exceptions. There is a real old gentleman who is looking for you and even went to Guangde Building." Brother Qian took out a cigarette and lit one.
Smoking, drinking, and perming your hair are all gathered now.
“Who is it?” Zhang Yuan became interested when he heard what he said.
"Mr. Yuan Kuocheng."
Upon hearing the name, Zhang Yuan immediately sat up straight to show respect.
Yuan Kuocheng, Shan Tianfang, Liu Lanfang, Tian Lianyuan... those are the four famous names in storytelling!
Moreover, Mr. Yuan comes from a well-established family. His two uncles, Yuan Jieting and Yuan Jieying, and his father, Yuan Jiewu, are known as the "Three Masters of the Yuan Family" in the storytelling world.
It sounds like Jiangdong Skeleton King and his family...
Mr. Yuan Kuocheng was influenced by his family since he was a child. After the founding of New China, he also actively innovated and took the lead in developing revolutionary-themed storytelling.
New era programs such as "Red Rock", "Loyalty", "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and so on.
This person is not particular about trivial matters and borrows performance techniques from dramas, musicals, TV movies, etc.
In traditional storytelling, the storyteller must have a table in front of him, which is called a table.
Mr. Yuan was the first person to withdraw the case, and started the full-body performance mode of storytelling. While telling stories, he also added body movements and interpretations to make the performance more vivid.
So in the storytelling industry, people not only have a high status, but also have advanced ideas.
If he is looking for me, I must meet him!
Zhang Yuan had been thinking before that although he won the cross talk club, he had no apprenticeship or identity in the traditional folk art industry.
After all, this is a small flaw that cannot be fully integrated.
Besides, the cross talkers are all human beings, with a lot of thorns and no big status. He is also afraid that one day he will be unable to suppress them.
This is great. If you want to eat ice and hail, if you want to sleep, take a pillow!
Mr. Yuan Kuocheng is looking for me. Is there any way to trick the old man into taking me in?
He is a bit greedy for the old man's body... No, his reputation.
"I have to pay a visit when I have the opportunity. I'll ask Brother Qian to help introduce you."
"It's a small thing." Brother Qian agreed.
"Brother Qian, please help keep an eye on Deyuan Club. After all, I am rarely present." Zhang Yuan instructed.
"Don't worry, Degang and I are partners, and you are brothers. I will definitely help and watch."
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, thinking that he was indeed Brother Qian.
My face is calm, but my heart is clear.
We are partners with Teacher Guo, that is a working relationship.
We are brothers, that is a personal relationship.
Compared with the two, for Brother Qian's temperament, personal relationships must be more important.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Yuan felt relieved.
"By the way, since you're back, it's too late today. I'll buy some good wine and food tomorrow and have a meal together."
"Just in time, I plan to bring my girlfriend to Let me introduce you and let’s have dinner together.”
Hearing this, a beautiful figure immediately appeared in Zhang Yuan’s mind.
Sister-in-law Qian!
The cross talk world cannot live without Qian Sao, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!
Half of the jokes in the cross talk world are attributed to Mrs. Qian, who is a great benefactor of traditional folk art!
Of course Zhang Yuan wants to meet him in person.
Everyone said that his sister-in-law was fair. He wanted to compare her on the spot to see who was fairer, brother Qian.
But as luck would have it, he reluctantly refused.
"Brother Qian, I have to go out to film tomorrow. I'm afraid the dinner will be delayed for a while."
"Didn't you come back just now?" Yu Qian looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I came back just to catch up with the next business."
Brother Qian was speechless for a while, then spoke again after a while: "Brother, are you going crazy with the money you make?"< br>
"You can't oppress yourself like this just to make money."
"You have such a good image and temperament, you can't take on roles just to make money, at least you have to choose the script!"
"It's the director Xiao Gang. Ask me to make a guest appearance in the drama.”
Yu Qian: ...
I am also giving lessons.
After a pause, Brother Qian was silent for a while, then raised his head and drank the remaining half of the bottle of beer.
He suddenly felt that it was no longer good for him to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, be afraid of comparing goods!
Brother Qian feels that he is doing pretty well, especially compared with his cross talk peers.
But every time I compare myself with my young roommate, I always feel that my age is like a dog.
"Okay, let's make an appointment later."
Actually, Brother Qian brought his girlfriend here for dinner not just to get acquainted.
At the same time, he also wanted to tell Zhang Yuan that he had plans to get married.
I am afraid that before long, I will no longer live in this small courtyard house.
The two were drinking and chatting, and they were enjoying themselves when Zhang Yuan's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the occasional tranquility and comfort for Zhang Yuan.
Picking it up and looking at the caller ID, Zhang Yuan immediately grinned.
Cai Yinong!
