On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yuan listened to Director Feng's extremely excited voice on the other side and thought that he should be stable.
"This time I have to play a role with serious lines. It can't be modal particles anymore."
After a long while, Director Feng picked up the phone again and replied excitedly.
“Okay, good change.”
“No wonder both Guoli and Bingbing recommended you.”
There is also the matter of Mr. Fan... Zhang Yuan thought to himself, this person is indeed doing things right. After I gave her my opinion on the agent, she remembered this relationship and helped me when she had the opportunity.
No wonder she was able to remain the number one sister of China Entertainment for many years before something went wrong in the future. She was so majestic.
It seems that I have the opportunity to have an in-depth communication with her to repay the recommendation.
“Are you busy lately?” Director Feng suddenly asked.
Zhang Yuan understood as soon as he reacted. The director asked him if he was busy and what else could he do.
"If you need me for anything, I won't be busy no matter how busy you are." Zhang Yuan replied quickly.
"Hahaha...Okay." Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth happily, showing a row of messy yellow teeth.
"This film is still in the early stages of preparation. It will probably take half a year to prepare." Director Feng made a rough estimate and said it directly without treating him as an outsider.
“I’ll let you know when we’re ready and casting begins.”
“Okay, thank you Director Feng.”
"Then get in touch then..." Feng Xiaogang didn't even bother to eat, and planned to immediately start a new round of script revision work according to Zhang Yuan's suggestion.
But just now.
"Director Feng, please wait a moment." Zhang Yuan suddenly interrupted.
"What's wrong?" Feng Daoxin asked. Could it be that he was afraid that I would let the pigeon fly and be used for the script idea, so he wanted to receive a deposit or sign a contract first?
But what Zhang Yuan said next was very beyond his expectation.
"Director Feng, the main perspective of your new play is on the thief, right?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
"Yes."
"Are you familiar with thieves, especially those on trains?"
"This...I plan to go to the police for advice, or to the detention center "Looking for information from prisoners."
These are routine methods, not surprising.
"You should know who are the masters in the train theft industry in our country, right?"
"That's for sure. I checked a lot of information. To say that the most powerful in this industry is still in 1986. Huang Tingli was shot!"
Zhang Yuan smiled, just know Huang Tingli!
"What a coincidence. I happen to know someone who is an expert."
"What expert?"
"Of course he is a thief."
Which thief?
While on the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Sister Zhu Yan discovered the thief nicknamed "Flying on the Grass" among the extras.
And this is Huang Tingli’s brother-in-law!
“Do you know such high-level talents?”
Zhang Yuan almost laughed out loud when he heard the words "senior talent".
Also, the archaeological team will recruit some "country rats" as non-staff experts. Why can't the masters of other people's snitches be high-level talents?
Three hundred and sixty, he is the number one scholar in every field, he specializes in his profession, and his attainment comes sooner or later. He is indeed a good player in the industry.
Director Feng became even more excited after hearing the news.
This Zhang Yuan...
I really want to doze off my pillow, eat ice and hail, it’s so timely!
If there is such a master, the details and the authenticity of the story of my new film will definitely be able to reach a higher level!
After all, no matter how detailed the information is, can anyone who has experienced it know much?
"Okay, please contact me quickly." Director Feng slammed the table excitedly.
Xu Fan on the side complained again, "Xiaogang, lower your voice, why are you so excited all day long?"
"Tsk, you don't understand. This kid gave me another surprise!"
On Zhang Yuan's side, he looked through his cell phone and couldn't find Cao Shangfei's phone number.
“I probably didn’t stay at that time.”
At this moment, Liu Qianqian, who was not far away, came forward, sat next to him, turned her head sideways, and stroked her hair as silky as a waterfall long hair.
"Zhang Yuan, are you..."
"Shh, don't talk yet, I have something to do." Zhang Yuan ignored him, but took out Zhu Yan's phone number and called him.
Liu Qianqian was stunned. Zhang Yuan had never treated her like this before. If she came to him, he would always put down what he was doing and talk to her.
He frowned angrily, feeling empty in his heart, but he managed to endure it and waited.
"Hello, sister."
"When did you remember to call me." Zhu Yan's mature and sentimental gentle voice came from the other side.
Liu Qianqian put one ear to her ear and felt a sore nose when she heard the voice of the gentle elder sister.
He left me alone in order to talk to other women on the phone...
"Looking for Cao Shangfei's phone number?" Zhu Yan asked doubtfully after hearing his request.
"Yes, I have something to do with him, don't worry, it's not a bad thing."
"Okay..." Zhu Yan agreed after thinking for a while.
There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
She thought Zhang Yuan was going to invite her to dinner and play.
"Zhang Yuan, can I talk to you?"
After he put down the phone, Liu Qianqian asked aggrievedly.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhang Yuan glanced at her, she looked depressed, and I felt pity for her.
“Where is your senior sister?”
“She went back to the imperial capital.”
“You have a good relationship with her?”
“Your mother and her fellow disciples Are the sisters on good terms?"
Liu Qianqian nodded, understanding what he meant, and changed the topic at the same time: "Do you still remember that you promised me something?"
"What's the matter?"
Liu Qianqian's face fell, and then she shook her head slightly: "It's okay."
What she said was that during the audition, Zhang Yuan promised to tell her "Harry Potter" Potter" thing.
She has been very busy since joining the group, and she left the group to film, and has never had time.
"How have you been living in Baodao these days?"
"Normal." She squinted her eyes, not looking at the other person.
Seeing her always looking aggrieved, she was no longer like her in his memory.
"You seem to have grown up." Zhang Yuan said.
"Really, my mother said the same." Liu Qianqian suddenly looked back at him with some joy.
On the one hand, the young girl is eager to grow up. On the other hand, he said the same thing as his mother, which means that he cares about himself as much as his mother.
"Sneaking out for dinner at night?" Zhang Yuan asked in a low voice.
"Well, hehe!" Liu Qianqian showed her usual bright smile: "But don't bring anyone else with you, just the two of us."
"It's a deal!" , Zhang Yuan scratched her little nose with his index finger.
After Liu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, two red clouds slowly rose up on her cheeks, as red as the setting sun and as red as the scorching sun.
Because this is the unique action of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger in the play.
Didi didi... She was shy when Zhang Yuan's cell phone suddenly remembered that she had received a text message from Zhu Yan.
"Although I have left the police system, I still have connections, which is really helpful."
"Who called just now?" Liu Qianqian suddenly raised her head and asked.
Zhang Yuan explained to her, and then talked about Director Feng's side.
“It’s true, you are going to film Director Feng’s movie again!” Liu Qianqian was very happy to hear the news.
"You're already starring in a movie. I have to chase you all the way to catch up with you."
"Hehe." Sissi smiled proudly and said, "Thank you for asking for leave for me and the crew. "Except for my mother, you are the best person in the world to me." [Received a thank you from Liu Qianqian, temperament +1! 】
Where is your father... Zhang Yuan did not ask, Lao An must have remarried and is about to give birth to a second daughter.
Lao An’s second daughter is far less beautiful than Liu Qianqian. It seems that Liu Xiaoli’s genes are the main contributor.
"By the way, I'm about to contact a fun person, someone who is very good at his skills."
"A juggler?" Liu Qianqian became interested.
"He's not as good at juggling."
According to the number given by Zhu Yan, Zhang Yuan called out. Soon after, a low, hoarse, tired voice appeared on the receiver. The voice of a middle-aged male who is almost overwhelmed by life and the past.
“Hey, is it flying on the grass?”
When the other party heard this nickname, his hair stood up in fear.
“Don’t hang up yet, I’m Zhang Yuan, do you remember me?”
The middle-aged man named Cao Fei almost threw his phone away.
But when he heard that the caller was Zhang Yuan, he was immediately stunned.
"Zhang Yuan from the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story"." Zhang Yuan added.
"Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Yuan: ...
You are already my father at your age, is it appropriate to call me brother?
However, Zhang Yuan understood that Cao Shangfei had been in prison and been punished, so he had been cautious after coming out. He was as polite to everyone he met as if he was a prison guard, for fear of causing trouble.
His behavior shows that the transformation is in place.
"Let me declare first, please don't do what you did last time."
Cao Shangfei is an old Jianghu, and he knows clearly in his heart that what Zhang Yuan is talking about is that he stole money from the blackmailing horseman and let Zhang Yuan go. That thing on the hotel room table.
The blackmailers packed the money in boxes. When they arrived at the bank and opened the boxes, they discovered that there were packages of waste paper of equal weight inside.
The locks on the boxes were all intact, but the money was stolen, so Zhang Yuan said that his skills were as good as a juggler.
“I’m looking for you today because I want to introduce you to a job.”
"Brother Zhang, I've stopped drying my hands a long time ago."
Zhang Yuan:...
Wash your hands if I want you to steal from someone, but you won't dry your hands!
"Director Feng, Feng Xiaogang, he is going to make a new movie about the snitch on the train. I think you are familiar with this."
Cao Shangfei thought for a while , my brother-in-law has been cremated for about 20 years, can you tell me whether he is familiar with him or not.
"You can't use your skills anymore, but experience and experience are of some use. I recommend you to become an assistant on the set. Are you happy?"
How can you say you are happy?
That’s quite a pleasure!
He has a background of being imprisoned. He couldn't find a good job anywhere, so he had to leave his hometown and work as an extra. After all, no one in this industry cares who you are.
But as an extra, you can only hang out, and whether you can have enough to eat depends on the weather.
But if you can get on the line with Director Feng, it will be completely different!
This upper-class circle is one that I can’t get into even if I have been an extra for eight lifetimes!
"You, are you telling the truth?" Cao Shangfei, a man in his forties, asked with a trembling voice, crying.
“I’ll give you Director Feng’s contact information, so behave well.”
“Yeah!”
[Received thanks from Cao Fei, stealing skills +10, hand dexterity +11, lock picking basics +6, lock picking skills +8, psychological quality +7! 】
Hey, I can do it, brother, I will repay the favor.
Zhang Yuan originally thought that by giving him a chance, he could also leave a favor with Director Feng, so that he could eat both sides and make money from both sides.
Now that he saw that the other party had given so many attributes, he thought, why not take it all to the end.
“By the way, those skills of yours can’t be used now, isn’t it a bit wasteful?”
"How about you pass it on to me."
In this way, Zhang Yuan agreed with him that he would have the opportunity to teach himself.
Although Cao Shangfei was very surprised by Zhang Yuan's "eagerness to learn", he thought that since he is a big star and actor, he would not be able to make a living in this profession even if he studied.
After all, stealing and robbery are not as profitable as filming.
For those who will earn 208W a day in future generations, what kind of bank robbery would you have to do to earn this kind of income?
If you are willing to learn, he will teach you. I am worried that I have nowhere to return the favor.
"Sissi, when I learn how to do tricks, how about I show you a show?"
"Really!" Liu Qianqian showed the expression of a curious baby.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while and realized that he had improved so many lock-picking and hand dexterity attributes. He should be able to untie his underwear faster in the future.
Well, I have the opportunity to perform for Liu Qianqian...
Liu Qianqian had deliberately put on a bad face for a long time before, but now the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again.
This is where Zhang Yuan feels that Liu Qianqian has grown up. She seems to have learned to consider the feelings of others and to control her temper.
Although Liu Qianqian said that she was living a normal life in Treasure Island, she carefully shared her experiences with him bit by bit.
“Have you ever stayed in a hotel in Baodao? It’s different from the one here.”
Zhang Yuan thought, I always stayed in the master bedroom of Jia Jingwen’s house in Baodao, basically I didn’t stay in hotels much.
The two were chatting, and just as the crew was about to start filming, another call came in.
“Brother!” A silly voice with a Hebei accent blasted in his ears.
“Take it easy!” Zhang Yuan put on a mask of pain and took out his ears.
Liu Qianqian quietly stretched out one of her ears. After being discovered by Zhang Yuan, she quietly withdrew again.
“It’s a man.”
"Oh." She turned away and snickered for a while.
Who is this silly loud voice?
Wang Baoqiang!
“Brother, I’m going to Treasure Island to attend the awards ceremony!” Wang Baoqiang spat excitedly.
“What prize?”
"It seems to be called the Nima Award..."
"That's called the Golden Horse Award!" Zhang Yuan helplessly raised his forehead.
“This is my first time going to Treasure Island, and the director said he spent money.”
Bao Qiang’s salary for “The Blind Shaft” was only 2,000, so it’s normal to care about travel expenses.
“Enjoy it and open your eyes.”
"Well, thanks to you introducing me to filmmaking, I have the opportunity to participate in such a big scene. I heard that there are many stars."
[Received a thank you from Wang Baoqiang, martial arts basics +1, physical fitness Quality +1! 】
"Since you are going to the award ceremony, you have to prepare an acceptance speech in advance."
"How can I win the award? It is useless to prepare that." Baoqiang has no culture, no Love to write.
Zhang Yuan chuckled.
No use preparing that?
He knows that Baoqiang will win the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Horse Awards for the first time!
Although "The Blind Shaft" is a banned film in mainland China, the Golden Horse Awards will pay attention to this film. It has some political influence. It is deliberately looking for trouble. It is an old routine.
But you have to say that Baoqiang’s award is really well deserved.
He is a natural actor!
At the beginning, many people questioned him. From "The Blind Shaft" to "A World Without Thieves" to "Soldiers Assault", most of the roles he played were the same, and they were all naive bumpkins.
But until "HELLO, Mr. Tree", which was both well-received and not well-received, came out, there were no more doubts.
Brother Shu smokes and his acting skills become immortal!
Whoever replaces this role, even if it is a movie star, it will not be easy for him to do it. Only he can do it.
"I believe you can do it, get ready and listen to me."
"Ah...that's okay." Although Baoqiang was not very happy, but Zhang Yuan, a great benefactor, said it, he would do it without hesitation.
“When you win the prize, I will introduce another play to you.”
“That’s awesome!”
“Of course.”
After all, "A World Without Thieves" also includes you. (End of chapter)
