Squeak...
The sound of the tire rubber contacting the road surface and being pulled back and forth at the limit of grip resounded throughout most of Shiina Mountain.
The burnt smell reminded everyone that there really was a GTR drifting past in front of everyone just now, and it was not a vain fantasy.
It's so beautiful, so beautiful...
Takahashi Katsuhiro, the island country's speedster stuntman, stood in front of the director, quietly drinking a drink and laughing relaxedly.
"You are here...who was driving just now?"
Director Liu Weiqiang already had that impossible guess in his mind, but he still asked fearfully.
“It’s Zhang Yuansang.” Mr. Takahashi, who had a plaster on one hand, said calmly.
“He can actually race cars and drift?”
“Then why didn’t he tell me and the crew during his audition and previous filming!” Liu Weiqiang didn’t understand.
"No, no, no." Mr. Takahashi waved his hands repeatedly.
"Yuan Sang didn't hide it from you."
"In other words, he didn't hide it from you in the beginning."
Mr. Takahashi showed a pleased smile, Speaking slowly, Abeli, who was beside him and acted as translator again, translated sentence by sentence.
Now Abeli is very suspicious that half of his remuneration may be translation fees.
“He can drive, but only to the extent of driving a family car.”
“And he was very unaccustomed to the operation of a right-hand drive car at first, and even the most basic coordination of the accelerator and clutch was not very good. Skilled." Mr. Takahashi smiled.
After all, most of the later generations have automatic transmission vehicles, and Zhang Yuan rarely drives manual transmission. He is indeed very unskilled before he is completely accustomed to it.
Liu Weiqiang thought for a while, then nodded lightly.
He recalled Zhang Yuan’s first scene on the first day of filming.
Just driving the GTR into a gas station, he stalled it dozens of times, which was indeed very unskilled.
But now... Liu Weiqiang glanced at the tire marks on the asphalt ground and swallowed hard.
"Two days after the filming started, he came to me and said he wanted to learn to drive from me." Mr. Takahashi continued.
Takahashi, an island native, naturally disagreed at first.
I have principles!
I work up to eight hours a day and then I have a life.
But Zhang Yuan gave him too much...
He was provided with food, drinks, horses and chickens, and he also found several mamasangs to serve him.
He was almost "hurt by wine and sex".
Most of the men in the island country love to drink and lust, and in addition to his high-risk profession as a stuntman, he also likes to have fun in the moment. After Zhang Yuan took advantage of this, everything became easier.
Mr. Takahashi is a little-known former car professional who has never even been on TV.
It sounds like it should be very weak, right?
That’s not the case.
Every driver who can participate in national competitions is a leader among his peers.
And every driver who can participate in world-class competitions, such as Le Mans and WRC, especially the F1 Grand Prix, is a genius among the top talents who have crushed their generation since childhood.
But even this kind of genius may be completely abused by fellow drivers in world-class competitions and become a no-name driver in the eyes of the audience.
Think about those who are on the same field with the car god Senna and the car king Schumacher, and you will understand.
The further you go, the more you realize that genius is a very cheap thing.
Just like what many Chinese state-owned enterprises and national team coaches love to say.
“Genius?”
"The most indispensable thing we lack here is genius!"
Mr. Takahashi can be regarded as a basic-level genius, and above that there are geniuses among geniuses, geniuses who crush the geniuses among geniuses, and prodigies. .
Although he is only a basic level genius, this is enough for Zhang Yuan.
Who is not the only one?
Besides, people from the island country are actually easier to deal with than people from Hong Kong.
Although the islanders are hypocritical, they do not have the special discrimination that the people in Hong Kong have towards the mainland.
In their eyes, you are all Chinese, there is no difference.
And because there is no conflict of interest or factional struggle, they don’t hide it at all, so there is no need to teach anything.
"So, every night after filming, we will come to Mount Shiina to practice drifting."
"Wait a minute." Liu Weiqiang interrupted: "You guys For practice, where did the car come from?”
Mr. Takahashi twitched the corner of his mouth, and then pretended to be calm: "We borrowed someone else's car."
Liu Weiqiang is not a fool!
The car stuntman has a car key and a warehouse key.
You little brat, you took the crew’s car out to practice with him!
"Anyway!" Mr. Takahashi raised his voice slightly embarrassed.
"We started practicing drifting."
"At the beginning, I took him for a few laps to let him adapt to the rhythm of drifting."
"After all, it is the first time for many people. Even if I don’t crash on a mountain road, I will feel nauseated and vomited.”
“But I found that not only did he not feel uncomfortable at all, he was also very focused on recording every move I made.”
Mr. Takahashi said this, even if it was just a memory, he looked amazed.
"His concentration is really strong, which is a very rare talent."
"And when I asked him to drive by himself, at first, I was worried that he would crash."
“But on the first lap, he was able to run down the entire Shiina Mountain without any mistakes.”
“Although he didn’t use drifting or other actions, he just drove quickly, but the operation was already very smooth. Even sitting in the passenger seat, I didn’t feel uneasy at all.”
“Then I found that he made slight progress every lap.”
"And every other day, there will be great progress!"
That's for sure, because every other day, Zhang Yuan will invite him to HAPPY once and give him a hard fuck.
The top of Mr. Takahashi's head is getting thinner and thinner, and he is almost bald.
“On the first day, it took him 15 minutes to run the entire length of Mount Shiina.”
“On the second day, it only took 10 minutes.”
“On the third day, he was already able to skillfully use heel and toe movements.”
“On the fourth day, he had already begun to try to drift when cornering.”
“ On the fifth day, his downhill speed was already less than seven minutes.”
“As of the day before yesterday, when I last practiced with him, he used four-wheel drift to run down Mount Shiina in only five minutes. Five seconds. "
Mr. Takahashi said this, put down the drink in his hand, took out the cigarette case with one hand, knocked on the fence beside the mountain road, knocked out a cigarette, and held it in his mouth.
He took out the lighter again and lit it for himself.
Even if one hand is disabled, the old chain smoker still smokes with ease.
"More than five minutes...is it very fast?" Chen Xiaochun, who had just arrived on the set and had been standing nearby without saying a word, asked.
Takahashi-san took a deep breath from the cigarette, protruded a smoke ring, and said leisurely with a blurred expression in his eyes.
“I am the fastest and can run here in five minutes and one and a half seconds with the same car.”
"It took him two weeks to go from a rookie who couldn't drift to being less than four seconds slower than me."
"Only about one percent slower."
Liu Weiqiang and Chen Xiaochun both fell into silence.
"Bagai Moo!" Takahashi-san half said and half cursed in Japanese.
"He said..." Riki Abe was about to translate, but was stopped by the director.
"I understand this. He said Zhang Yuan is a monster."
"Although the car I used for practice did not show my full strength."
"If I change to another car, If we race seriously and run on a regular track, I should be able to close the gap to more than 3%. But I can do it in such a short time. This is the first time I have seen this in my life." There was both fear and regret in Mr. Takahashi's eyes.
"It took him about two weeks to do something that ordinary people couldn't do in two years."
"It would take more than a month for even a genius with basic skills to achieve this level."
“It’s a pity, it’s a pity.”
“He is too old now.”
“If I had discovered him ten years earlier, maybe he could have been there. There’s something to be said for racing.”
Zhang Yuan is only in his early twenties, but in the racing world, twenty is already an old age.
Most geniuses have been discovered by big teams and manufacturers when they are twelve or thirteen years old, so Mr. Takahashi is not lying.
Chen Xiaochun, who was originally encouraged by Liu Weiqiang to stand up and suppress the "uncooperative" mainland Chinese boy in the crew, is now stooped.
"Then I'll do it anyway."
He glanced at Liu Weiqiang, you asked me to deal with a "monster", right?
What can I do to overpower a ruthless person who personally goes racing in a car scene? Why don't you go by yourself?
While they were talking, the pure black GTR drove back and stopped steadily in front of a few people.
The car door opened, and Zhang Yuan in costume got out of the car.
“How was it?”
"In this case, I should be able to catch up with my schedule."
Yes... Liu Weiqiang touched his chin.
"Okay..."
If you can do the racing scenes yourself, then you will definitely be able to keep up with the progress!
Liu Weiqiang thought.
Jay relies on his attitude. After all, canceling a concert does require a lot of courage.
Zhang Yuan relies on ability.
Liu Weiqiang thought of the White Dragon King's words again.
He couldn't see through this man's future.
Similarly, he didn't know that Zhang Yuan specifically asked Takahashi Sang to learn drag racing, not to serve the crew or to be cool after returning to the mainland.
He learned this technique for other purposes.
However, according to his plan, it will not be used until at least a few years later.
"Brother Xiaochun, hello, I am Zhang Yuan." He walked up and said hello to Chen Xiaochun.
"Hello, hello." Brother Xiaochun smiled and bumped fists with him.
He knew about Zhang Yuan and Zhang Weijian.
First of all, he was also born in TVB.
Secondly, both he and Zhang Weijian have played Wei Xiaobao.
However, Zhang Yuan feels that Chen Xiaochun's performance is closer to the image of Wei Xiaobao.
Zhang Yuan walked aside and discussed with the director about adjusting the shooting schedule so that he could complete the work according to the contract period.
Adjusting shooting is a very troublesome thing.
If one person moves, the whole crew will move, especially the other leading actors.
But Jaylen and Edison had a good relationship with him, and since the matter was already at this point, they both agreed to adjust according to his schedule.
"Hey, Edison, are you getting along with him?"
After learning about this, Chen Xiaochun pulled Edison and asked.
He knows that Cheng Guanxi is notoriously unruly and difficult to deal with.
However, Edison is very polite to Brother Xiaochun.
Because last year when he and Shawn Yue had a fight backstage at the awards ceremony, it was Chen Xiaochun who started the fight.
In addition, he is a senior in both acting and singing, and Edison treats him kindly.
"It's okay..." Guan Xi said helplessly.
“Brother Xiaochun, tell me why women have two faces.”
"Sometimes he is very reserved, and the next time he is very dissolute." Edison sighed.
Of course he was talking about Suzuki Anzu.
I am very reserved in front of him, but very promiscuous with Zhang Yuan.
That's because he is used to women throwing themselves into his arms, and he can get them by hooking his fingers.
Now that the situation is reversed, he is not used to it.
"Haha, women are all fake and reserved." Brother Xiaochun said with a smile.
At this moment, Jay Chou came over and said, "Not everyone."
"My girlfriend is very reserved."
Zhang Yuanye Just not there, otherwise he would have a lot to say.
“Forget it, if you want to find reserved girls, you can only find them in elementary schools now.” Brother Xiaochun said based on the experience of those who have been there.
In total, Kunling was born in 1993 and is currently in elementary school.
Brother Xiaochun is indeed a veteran.
"By the way, that Zhang Yuan, is he good at acting?" Brother Xiaochun was still asking about Zhang Yuan.
“Okay.” Edison said: “And it’s not just good at filming.”
“It’s also great in other aspects.”
"Yes, he can also do magic!" Jaylen immediately added.
But he is the only one who cares about this matter.
After several people chatted for a long time, Chen Xiaochun finally understood the situation roughly.
“I won’t do this.”
After listening to the two people’s descriptions of Zhang Yuan, he was even more convinced that this mainland boy was not someone to be trifled with.
"He is so strong. As long as he doesn't offend anyone, he will definitely be very powerful in the future... Oh no, he clearly offended Zhang Weijian, but nothing happened at all."
"That would be even more powerful!"
He would rather make friends than offend, so he would not suppress the other party as Liu Weiqiang said.
Chen Xiaochun didn’t answer, so Liu Weiqiang had nothing to do with him.
After several years of working together, Zhang Yuan finally had the opportunity to communicate with the director on an equal footing, instead of blindly following the other person's thinking and rhythm.
After becoming a big name, there are such benefits.
The next shooting went very smoothly.
At night, in a 711 convenience store.
“I think it’s time for us to have a game.”
Zhang Yuan was still wearing the black Adidas suit, with Guan Xi standing next to him.
He was holding an adult magazine with the characteristics of this island country in his hand, and he was talking to the other party while flipping through it.
"Stuck!"
"Congratulations to Zhang Yuan for finishing the film!" Liu Weiqiang shouted with a loudspeaker.
At the same time, there was a sense of relief in his heart.
Zhang Yuan put the adult magazine in his hand on his lower back.
"Take it home as a gift for Brother Qian..."
"If you have the opportunity to come to Xiangjiang, I'll invite you to see my photography collection." Guan Xi hugged him.
Then I want to see it... Zhang Yuan couldn't say anything in his stomach.
"Come to Baodao, I'll treat you to Qili Xiang." Jay Chou clapped his hands and said goodbye.
Why do you think about chicken butts all day long?
"Director Liu, we will cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."
"Cooperate again..."
After these three weeks of getting along, Liu Weiqiang has very complicated feelings for Zhang Yuan.
My acting skills are good, I am very focused in acting, and my abilities are much stronger than those of ordinary people. These are all advantages.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. This person is not completely under control.
In other words, I can't control him.
"Brother B, see you later on the crew."
"Okay!" Zhong Zhentao hugged him warmly. Among the middle-aged people in the entire crew, he had the kindest attitude towards Zhang Yuan. .
After greeting everyone, Suzuki Xing stepped in front of him.
“Yuan Sang, can I go to China to see you?”
"Of course."
After these days of "learning/collecting attributes", he has been able to communicate simply with the people on the island.
"Yeah!" Kyoko was obviously very happy.
You can come as long as you want, I may not be there... Zhang Yuan's plan for her is that she can keep in touch, but there is no need to maintain a relationship.
After all, Chinese people are not used to eating Japanese food.
After settling everything, he hurried to the airport the next day and boarded the return plane.
A few hours later, we landed at the Imperial Capital Airport. It was almost evening.
He did not rush directly to the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Xiangshan to attend the training camp.
But I plan to go home first and make some adjustments.
"A World Without Thieves" is about to be released, and he has to go to the press conference.
Besides, I brought a bunch of souvenirs home, and I had to share them with everyone.
Especially Brother Qian’s gift is the heaviest.
There are dozens of CDs!
So he specially made an appointment with Brother Qian and his wife to come to the courtyard for dinner together.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the alley, we were greeted by the fragrance of vegetation.
Take a deep breath, this is the taste of home... (End of chapter)
