Whether it’s a store owner or a film crew, gathering crowds to cause trouble must be among the things they fear most.
Fish in troubled waters, take advantage of others, and end up not punishing everyone... This is a common pattern of gathering crowds to cause trouble.
Huaxia is a place with the most individuals. In addition, many people like to form small groups, so it is easier for people to gather to cause trouble.
Especially in areas like the southern coast, southern Fujian, and Chaoshan where clans are bound, people from a village or town dare to unite to fight against the government, and this kind of thing has never disappeared, and even happened from time to time in later generations.
Cheung Guoli has a line in the movie "Mobile Phone".
"Everything in the world is afraid of alliances!"
Once we form an alliance and have more people, we can accomplish anything.
Just like now, there are dozens of young men, holding white foam lunch boxes, shouting and walking towards Cao Jianjun, who is responsible for serving meals on the set, and more than a dozen people.
There are more than three bearded crew members.
Many sets, many Wiats, and many actors!
When I was on the set of "Dragon", the largest number of extra actors and starring actors on one day reached several hundred people.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes had a higher budget and bigger scenes.
In addition to the temporary staff brought in from the surrounding area every day, there are hundreds of extras who work on the set every day.
If all the extras are included, even the 300 and 400 will be unable to hold on.
And there were relatively few people there at the moment, and no big scenes like Xiangyang City were photographed.
The meat dishes on his plate were snatched away by Liu Qianqian in anger. Zhang Yuan happened to come to Cao Jianjun to get some more and share them with several friends from the crew.
Whether it’s eating, drinking, having sex, or eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
Have you seen it? Whether good or bad, eating comes first. This is the wisdom of the ancients.
The appetite is the easiest to satisfy and is also the most basic human need.
Only when you are full and happy can you work well.
This is why it is easy to gain weight while working, because everyone is trying their best to compensate themselves for the little "waste money".
On the contrary, over the past five thousand years, many peasants have revolted because they did not have enough to eat. Then they waved the flag and shouted, "Princes and generals should be proud of themselves!"
If you don't have enough to eat, you're going to have big problems.
It was precisely because he wanted to give everyone extra food that Zhang Yuan happened to encounter trouble.
Cao Jianjun was a soldier. He was not only as stubborn as a donkey, but also had some skills.
But the problem lies in having some skills.
More than two thousand years ago, Sima Qian wrote in his "Preface to the Biography of Knights".
[Han Zi said: "Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, while chivalrous people use martial arts to violate the prohibition."]
When people deal with problems, they will subconsciously choose the method they are best at.
Officials will choose to use their privileges.
Business people will choose to spend money.
Rural women will choose to cry and make a fuss.
After practicing, most people will choose to be hands-on and never make noise.
So Cao Jianjun immediately took out an engineering shovel from under the lunch box dining cart.
Cooking vegetables, killing people and stealing goods, digging graves, and the engineering shovel is indeed a sharp weapon in the world.
Zhang Yuan immediately showed a look of helplessness.
“These vulgar martial artists are all about muscles...”
Although he has returned to martial arts, and his level is not low now, he will not be like them when encountering trouble. Usually people always think of using force to solve the problem.
He stretched out his hand to suppress Cao Jianjun to prevent the situation from further intensifying.
At the same time, he pulled him to the side and retreated behind a few workers.
If you really start to do something about it later, the food truck is only worth a few dollars if it is smashed, and buying a new one is only a few hundred or thousands.
If the boys are beaten, they will have to pay for medical expenses at worst, and funeral expenses at worst.
But Zhang Yuan, as the lead actor in the crew, thought that it was not worth getting punched for ordering a box lunch.
As for Cao Jianjun, he is still a small boss or manager. If he is injured, who will help him make money?
Besides, Zhang Yuan has already seen that the group of people who came to make trouble are not ordinary!
Not to mention anything else, the average height of this group of people is higher than that of the average extra.
Group performers were still in those days. Most of them had poor family conditions and lacked nutrition since childhood. Most of them were not over 170cm tall.
And these people generally have 170 and above, only a few of them.
Especially the leader, whose height even reached around 180cm, only half a forehead shorter than Zhang Yuan.
Coupled with the loud voice when he whirred, it was obviously full of energy.
Zhang Yuan took another look and saw that the postures of those people walking were light, as if they had been practiced, and they were definitely not incomparable to ordinary people.
As the saying goes, a hero does not suffer immediate losses, and escaping is shameful but useful.
How long will it take if I don’t hide behind me at this time?
Gold and jade will not collide with bricks and stones.
Zhang Yuan thought that the good fortune he had now was only a few hundred dollars per minute. It was not worth it.
Within a few seconds of his retreat, the mood of the people making trouble on the opposite side became more and more intense.
“We want to eat meat!”
“We want to eat enough!”
“No cabbage and clappers!”
I don’t know. Someone yelled a national curse, and then the lunch box, along with the rice, vegetables, and vegetable soup inside, was shouted in the direction of the people who were putting the rice.
Zhang Yuan's reaction speed.
I saw him put on a posture, his anger dropped from his Dantian, and then he stretched out his hand... and pulled Cao Jianjun over and blocked him in front of him.
Hurrah!
Crash!
It took several minutes before all the lunch boxes that rained down were thrown away.
The ground near Zhang Yuan's position was already covered with scattered rice grains and white lunch boxes, as if he had arrived in the winter of the Forbidden City wrapped in silver.
Hearing that the noise gradually subsided, Zhang Yuan moved out from behind Cao Jianjun.
“Not bad, it didn’t hit me at all.” Zhang Yuan checked his whole body and was very satisfied.
Cao Jianjun, who was used as a shield and turned into a "snowman": ...Aminos.
Although I have smashed the lunch box, the matter is not over yet.
Dozens of aggressive extras were still standing in front of them, showing no intention of giving in.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan actually felt a little angry.
If you have something to say, what's the point of wasting a lot of food?
However, I glanced at the food that had become garbage on the ground. It seemed that there was nothing fishy about it, only the occasional bit of minced meat and shredded pork. It was quite bleak.
He thought to himself, he had taken care of it.
The first priority for extra performers is to make sure everyone has enough to eat. It’s already hard work, and we all come from lower classes, so we can’t betray our class.
But this situation is obviously abnormal.
But now that things are coming to an end, it is obviously not the time to dwell on these things. We must first find a way to calm down our anger and then get away.
“If you don’t give us meat, we will go on strike!”
“You guys, these unscrupulous people, must be cutting corners and depriving us of food.”
"Smash their cars and detain their people!"
It's different when there are more people. Those who are brave enough... Zhang Yuan smelled a sense of crisis and felt that it might be difficult to be kind today.
At this moment, a heroic female voice suddenly came from the side.
“Xiaowu!”
“Lengzi!”
"Two sticks!"
"What are you doing!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by this somewhat angry voice and they turned their heads.
"Senior sister."
"Senior sister."
"Xiao Dan."
A lot of greetings came from the rioting crowd, and the tone was very friendly.
The source of the female voice stepped forward, carefully stepped over the dirt on the ground, came close to Zhang Yuan, and then stood still.
The person who came was Zhao Xunjie, the actor who played Hong Lingbo, who had not taken off his costume at this time. He was wearing a brown costume jacket and a wig. He had a bit of an ancient chivalrous temperament.
Zhang Yuanjian always used nicknames when greeting those people, and they also called them intimately as seniors and juniors. She immediately knew it in her heart. "I said these guys don't look like mortals."
“It turns out that just like her, we are both students from a martial arts school.”
“It’s no wonder. We are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, so our martial arts training momentum is naturally different. We eat well, and our average height is also the same. It’s higher than the average group performance, so that’s right.”
Zhang Yuanxin said that fortunately he held down Cao Jianjun’s engineer shovel.
If there was to be a fight, he would definitely not be able to withstand the gang fights of so many practitioners, and he would definitely suffer the loss.
Let’s just say that when something happens, you have to use your brain first, not your actions first.
Seeing Hong Lingbo standing next to him again, he knew that at least there was someone who could talk to both parties and was on his side.
“There are only a few girls in martial arts schools.”
“Zhao Dandan is quite good-looking, and she is probably a school beauty among them.”
“Facing this When helping a gentleman, words should be of some use.”
Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as Zhao Dandan opened his mouth, the troublesome martial arts school extras became quiet for about seven or eight minutes.
"School girl, the meals arranged for us by this crew are really outrageous." One of the people in the crowd said with a grimace.
"Then you can't hit people with lunch boxes." Zhao Dandan looked sideways and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Zhang Yuan was generally fine.
"Brother Zhang Yuan takes great care of me. This meal is also his business, so you can't mess with it."
Zhang Yuan introduced her to advertising work and earned 8,000 yuan. Of course she had to think well.
Besides, the two of them practice swordplay together every night. As they practice, it becomes easier for them to develop feelings for each other.
She must help Zhang Yuan.
"I think there must be some misunderstanding."
"How about I act as guarantee and ask questions for you, I wonder if you will believe me or not."
"You must believe what the school girl says."
"That's right."
"Senior sister has a lot of face."
Others were not able to speak well, so Zhao Xunjie said a few words, and the group stopped.
"Let's all leave. The crew will find out soon, and we will be embarrassed by our school."
"Okay, okay, let's leave..."
Dozens of people gradually dispersed.
However, the 1.8 meter tall man who was originally the leader looked at Zhang Yuan worriedly before leaving, and when he saw Zhao Xuanxuan asking Zhang Yuan some worried questions, he gritted his teeth with an unkind expression.
"Thank you, senior sister, for your help!" Zhang Yuan said, cupping his fists.
"Senior sister?"
"I am Yang Guo and you are Hong Lingbo. We are from the same sect, so naturally we are senior sisters."
"Hehehe..." Zhao Xuejie smiled and nodded.
"I didn't hurt you." She said with some embarrassment: "The people in our school are all rough people, and they are easily excited..."
"It's okay, you don't have to I don't mind." Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and then said: "I will ask about the meal myself."
"If I have any questions later, I will ask you to help me."
"Okay."
He kicked Cao Jianjun and asked him to take out all the dishes he had left for himself, pass them to Zhao Xunxuan, and share them with the leading actors.
The faces of these workers are all pale, and they haven’t recovered yet.
“It has to be Brother Yuan.”
“Yes, I thought it was going to be cold.”
“After all, it’s his face, that beautiful guy The girl settled the matter as soon as she spoke. ”
The younger brothers sighed, but Zhang Yuan chuckled and said: "Is it a tie?"
"It's just begun."
He pulled Cao Jianjun and asked.
“Brother Yuan, you don’t know, we are not cutting corners.”
“You have taken care of us, and we regard these poor brothers who are working for a living on the set as our own, and we are all for Sufficient amount.”
"But..."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Zhang Yuan was coy and a little impatient.
I still have to film a movie, so I don’t have time to talk to you about these nonsense all day long.
Selling lunch boxes is just a way for him to extend some financial benefits through his own connections.
Of course, making it bigger and stronger and creating greater glory in the future is another story, but it is not his main business now and he doesn’t want to spend too much time on it.
"But there is something wrong with the meal tags given by the crew. The meal tags for these people are one dollar lower than ordinary extras."
"Oh?"
Zhang Yuan was surprised.
These martial arts school students are tall and strong, and they eat a lot.
Moreover, the work they do is physically demanding, and the roles they play often involve fighting, which is much more tiring than ordinary group performances.
The meal price is even lower?
No wonder only the cabbage bangzi is left.
Zhang Yuan was keenly aware that there must be something fishy here.
“It’s like my people helped the crew withstand the thunder.”
Zhang Yuan thought, it was obviously a problem with the crew’s meal expenses, but it hit me on the head.
"In this case, it's better to discuss this matter with the crew first. You go ask and explain everything that just happened to the people above." Zhang Yuan felt that things should be done according to the process, at least it must be reasonable and well-founded.
"Hey." Cao Jianjun ran away to do it.
After a long while, he walked back angrily with a grimace on his face and a hint of anger in his brows.
Zhang Yuan knew the result was not good just by looking at his expression.
“How to say?”
"The crew said that people are causing trouble because our food doesn't taste good. Wouldn't it be better if we gave them more meat."
"They don't care about the food labels."
"Oh." Zhang Yuan replied calmly without any emotion.
"Then you make another trip and tell the person in charge of the crew that we can't make lunch boxes for the martial arts school extras, so let them find another job."
"Okay." Cao Jianjun ran to negotiate again.
As the leading actor, it was inappropriate for Zhang Yuan to say this in person, and it was only appropriate for Cao Jianjun to come forward.
Not long after, the former cook hurried back again. This time he was not angry again, but twisted his face, obviously very angry.
“Say.” Zhang Yuan asked succinctly.
“The executive director said that if we can’t do it, then we shouldn’t do it. They will find others to do all the ordering work for the crew.”
Yoha!
Zhang Yuan smiled instead of getting angry.
You are planning to argue with me.
Let’s lead that, right?
"If you don't do it, there are people who will do it!"
Hehehe... Zhang Yuan smiled, and the young men around him felt chills running down their spines.
"Are you looking for Big Beard?"
"Big Beard is not on the set. I heard that he left last night. It seems that he went to Xiangjiang."
"Xiangjiang?"
As a producer, Big Beard does not need to be on set every day.
His whereabouts are unknown to most people.
"Since he is not here, the head of the crew is Yu Min."
No need to ask, the executive director's meaning is his.
"This old boy, you are interested in me again, right?" (End of Chapter)
