Chapter 440 Today’s statement


Walking beside the terraces, the afterglow of the setting sun stretches the silhouettes of a few people infinitely.

Director Yu Rentai led Zhang Yuan and Sun Li to a thatched house built by the crew.

There, there was a middle-aged figure who was not tall, with a shaved head and some pitted facial skin. Only the outline of the delicate facial features in his youth could be vaguely seen.

"JET, Sun Li is here." Director Yu shouted.

“The guest actor introduced by Mr. Ba also happened to be here.”

Li Lianjie put down the thick stack of scripts in his hands and straightened up from the bench.

"Oh, hello, Zhang..."

Seeing that Lao Li couldn't even remember his name, Zhang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and shook hands.

His attitude is very sincere.

After all, whether it is kung fu or film and television, I am a senior, a senior, one of the best seniors in China!

Looking at the entire Chinese world, he is the only one who can compare with Jackie Chan.

"My name is Zhang Yuan, hello, Brother Jie."

"Hello, sit down."

Li Lianjie chuckled kindly.

Since he entered middle age, most of his classic characters have been extremely cruel.

Huo Yuanjia and Pang Qingyun are all heroes full of hostility.

But Lao Li can play this role perfectly.

This man, like Fu Minxia in the diving world and Wang Nan in the table tennis world, is a genius among geniuses who can surpass a generation of geniuses.

When it came time to get the title of Wu Ying, this guy won first place in all six disciplines!

In 1972, he was received by the Prime Minister.

In 1979, he participated in the Fourth National Games despite injury and won five gold medals.

The martial arts athletes of his generation only have one feeling.

Despair!

No one among the younger generations of star players like Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhang Jin, and Wu Jing could achieve his achievements, whether in the martial arts circle or the film and television circle.

Even if we look to the future, in action scenes, no one can be more fierce, faster, and better looking than him.

As long as you compare his action scenes with other stars, you can easily find out why he is an international superstar.

When he was young, he had a delicate and agile appearance. However, in middle age, his appearance gradually became gloomy and his majesty became stronger.

The reason for this, in addition to Lao Li's internal injuries due to martial arts training, is also related to his character.

Be strong!

He is a naturally strong person and must be the first in everything.

He has to compete with his elder brother for martial arts, filming, and film remuneration.

And this guy is actually quite utilitarian.

Coupled with the experience in Hong Kong that year, the agent was shot dead in the street.

Without the double blessings of Xiang Jia and Baodao Yang Dengkui, he would have been slaughtered as a pig long ago.

After seeing so many people’s worldly fame and wealth and the dark side of the entertainment industry, the mentality of even a good person has to change.

Especially since he became famous in Hollywood in the past few years and became a hit in China with "Hero", Li almost surpassed his old rival Jackie Chan and firmly secured his position as the number one brother.

In those years, he felt as if he had returned to his youth, high-spirited and impassioned.

How crazy!

Wang Feiming likes this.

But now, even when facing Zhang Yuan, an unfamiliar junior, he is very polite, almost like a kind neighbor uncle.

This is obviously inconsistent with his experience and character over the years.

As the saying goes: If the sky is crazy, there will be rain; if people are crazy, there will be disaster.

What God loves to do most is to give people a stick when they are proud.

In 1991, Lao Li divorced his first wife, and in 1992, his agent was bankrupted.

In 2001, "Wanted" became a hit, and in 2002, "Heroes" became a hit. In 2003, he starred in two Hollywood action masterpieces, "The Cradle" and "Danny the Wolf Dog".

Then Lao Li, who made a lot of US dollars, took his wife and children to the Maldives for vacation at the end of 2004.

That was the end of 2004.

He just happened to hit the Indian Ocean tsunami!

After narrowly rescuing his wife and children, he was trapped in a hotel by floods.

There is no water, electricity, coal or communication, and only a few days of food reserves.

At this time, all-around martial arts champions, Chinese movie stars, and Hollywood Kung Fu superstars are all bullshit.

This man had an epiphany and began to study Buddhism, mind science, and engage in secluded cultivation.

This "Huo Yuanjia" was proposed by him. The transformation of this character in the film actually reflects himself to a certain extent.

However, this person has realized it, but he has not completely suppressed it, or it may be said that his enlightenment is partial.

This person was naturalized in Singapore in 2007.

Similar to Gong Li's front and rear feet.

At that time, the media was in an uproar. All the most famous male and female superstars in China had immigrated to Singapore.

There are many reasons, but one of them must be Singapore’s far lower taxes than domestic ones.

And after becoming a Singaporean citizen in 2007, Lao Li also started to establish a charity foundation.

Who are the people in this foundation?

The Liu family father and daughter, Wang Shi, Pony Ma, Jack Ma, the CEO of Minsheng Bank, the CEO of Mengniu, the famous financial V Wu Xiaobo... just said on the show that "most people are useless", full of elitist prejudice, and later The one who was banned from the entire internet for hyping up the domestic unemployment rate and spreading false news.

All are "heavyweights".

And all these elite organizations basically have Lao Liu, so you know the composition of these organizations.

"I heard from Mr. Ba that you know Kung Fu, not bad?" Li Lianjie smiled warmly and invited him to sit down.

“Only a little bit.” Zhang Yuan showed a universe between his fingers.

"Okay, just know how." Lao Li called someone and brought him a bottle of water: "What do I mean."

"Since you can fight, it will be easy to handle."

"We have a fight in the movie."

"We will make up our own moves and design them, and then let Master Ba adjust them according to the needs of the shot."

"Since we are experts, we will No need to base it entirely on his design.”

"Originally, your character is not a regular successor of a certain school, but a master of the local Miao village, so just be more casual."

"No problem, I'll listen to you." Zhang Yuan naturally agreed.

"Okay, let's practice some tomorrow morning." After Li Lianjie finished speaking, his assistant came up.

"Brother Jie, it's time."

"Okay, let's call it a day." The man threw away the script and left the set.

The director shook his head helplessly and asked the staff to disperse.

“Oh, this is indeed a big shot.”

Leave when the time comes, without delaying even a minute.

Lao Li’s contract must have strictly stated working hours.

A day is estimated to last only eight hours, and it is counted from the time you leave the hotel. The travel to the set and makeup time are all included in the eight hours of work.

The actual filming time is only more than six hours.

To be as strong as he is, the crew follows the actors.

Zhang Yuan was still thinking about whether he would have a chance to have a meal with Lao Li and get acquainted with him.

They turned around and left without even a chance to have a meal or be invited.

"How about we go have a meal?" He turned to look at Sun Li aside.

Lao Li asked her to have a scene with her. When it was time to get off work, the scene had to come again tomorrow, so Sun Li was free.

Oh, no wonder you asked me to practice tomorrow morning, and it has to be included in working hours.

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly. This was really two extremes from the one on the set with the big beard.

I worked overtime every day during the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and didn't even have enough time to eat or sleep.

There was even a period of time when the actors were constantly running between three film crews in order to catch up with the show, and had no chance to return to the hotel for several days.

Of course, there are benefits to such hard work, that is, it can establish a correct "perspective on acting" for actors.

Unlike those popular celebrities in later generations who didn’t even memorize their lines, the assistant on set held the inscription board for filming, and there were just a bunch of people holding it.

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work."

"Teacher, are you tired?"

"Teacher, your performance was great..."

Having worked in this kind of environment since I debuted, it is inevitable that my outlook will be distorted. I have no idea what a professional crew and actors are like.

Then Sun Li had a meal together at a nearby small restaurant.

“The chicken soup here is good.” Zhang Yuan drank several bowls and found it particularly delicious.

“There are free-range chickens here, and there are also local mushrooms.” Sun Li also ate less.

But she has to act opposite Li Lianjie, so she has been under a lot of pressure recently.

Lao Li's shooting time is limited. If he fails repeatedly, he won't be able to take several shots in a day.

The pressure made her lose a lot of weight.

“It’s interesting. I’ll buy some back then and give them to my friends to try.”

Zhang Yuan thought, if he went out by himself, he would have to go back to "Xian Liaozhai" after a while. 》You’re filming, so you can’t bring some souvenirs.

The special mushrooms and chickens are a good choice, affordable and practical.

Ask the assistant to leave the restaurant owner’s phone number so that you can take some home with you when you leave.

After eating, he and Sun Li returned to the hotel where the crew stayed. Now he's also asking for a suite.

It’s not that I feel like I’m a big star, the main thing is that Zhao Juejue also needs a place to sleep, and it’s more convenient for him to come to her when he needs to live together.

Before going to bed at night, he received a phone call.

"Hey, have you received the CD I sent you?"

"Well, I've watched it, and your performance is very good."

On the other end of the phone, I haven't seen you for a while. Liu Qianqian.

After Zhang Yuan finished talking about "The Sorcerer's Stone" and "The Chamber of Secrets," Warner Bros. asked for several sets of CDs and sent them to her.

“As long as you like it.”

"Hey..." Sissi responded, but felt hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter?" he asked quickly.

"Zhang Yuan, I know you told me not to pay attention to those rumors on the Internet, just ignore them."

"But recently, the rumors about my mother and godfather have become more and more popular. More and more."

"My mother is very unhappy."

"So my godfather wanted to arrange for me to go to "Today's Dharma" to investigate and clarify these things."

"I don't know whether I should go."

"Because I think I should go. It’s useless.”

“So I want to hear your opinion.”

Zhang Yuan was silent for a while before speaking.

"After the last time we had dinner together was exposed, have there been more rumors?"

"It's okay..."

"That's more." Zhang Yuan felt a little guilty He rubbed his brows.

"Did it help you that time?" Sissi asked.

“Of course.”

"That's good," she replied with a smile.

The more she behaves like this, the more guilty Zhang Yuan feels.

He thought for a while, there were mainly a few rumors about her now.

Abortion, sex change, foster care, thin horse.

Being photographed eating with her is far less exciting than the above.

But in fact, it is useless even if she is on "Today's Statement", the rumors will still accompany her throughout her life.

Just like the folk rumor that the youngest brother of the Fan family was born to the eldest sister.

My elder sister was born in 1981, and my younger brother was born in 2000.

If it is the elder sister, it is another incident of underage giving birth.

Of course, there will be some boring people looking for evidence. Fan Xiaopang once gained thirty kilograms of weight when he first entered Xie Jin Film and Television Academy.

In the eyes of those people, this is pregnancy and gaining weight.

In fact, they don’t understand at all. Most pregnant girls will not show weight at all, or even show their pregnancy.

The same goes for Sissi in later generations. When she was not working, she lived a casual life (eating haphazardly). She suddenly gained weight when she participated in activities, and some people would say it was pregnancy or post-pregnancy obesity.

In fact, the younger brother of the Fan family obviously started practicing the trumpet because his parents saw his eldest sister leaving home and living alone, feeling empty and losing focus in life. Many ordinary parents would do the same.

But actresses are like this. If they are fatter, they are said to be pregnant, if they are thinner, they are said to have undergone plastic surgery. There will always be topics.

"Sissi, you are right, even if you are included in "Today's Statement"."

"The rumors will continue and will not disappear."

"Well, then I Just refuse.”

“No, I mean, it’s still necessary.” Zhang Yuan shook his head.

“Just like filming, all you can control is whether you give your best in your performance.”

"As for how the film will turn out, it is not something that actors can easily control. There are too many people and things involved." "It's the same with this matter. Just try your best."

"When you go on the show and express your attitude in front of the national audience, this matter will come to an end. Make a break for yourself.”

“It doesn’t really matter what the outcome is, right?”

"Yeah." After Liu Qianqian hesitated for a while, she replied in a positive tone: "I understand."

"Give yourself an explanation, right."

"Hey."

"Hahaha, I knew you would show me the direction." The previous hesitation was finally replaced by laughter.

"So you can tell me anything in the future."

"Of course, I will contact you often."

[Received a thank you from Liu Qianqian, looks +1! 】

Zhang Yuan chatted with her for a long time. From campus life to acting, business, worries were temporarily left behind.

After several hours, he put down the hot cell phone.

“She can really talk…”

Even though Liu Qianqian doesn't talk much outside, in fact, she may have a lot of chatter with acquaintances in private.

"Boss Chen arranged for her to appear on this show. Clarification is on the one hand, and hype is also on the other."

"Only by having a topic can we ensure popularity." Zhang Yuan saw the other party's intention .

On the other end of the phone, Liu Qianqian kicked off her slippers, opened the door and ran all the way to the living room, where she found her mother who was watching TV.

"Mom, I decided to appear on "Today's Dharma"!"

"Oh, have you changed your mind?" Liu Xiaoli was also extremely troubled by the recent messages.

Rumors on the Internet described her as an "old madam".

Qianxi told her mother the general content of the chat she had just had with Zhang Yuan.

Liu Xiaoli touched her daughter's hair and nodded.

What he said makes sense. What others think is not important. The key is whether it is helpful to Sissi herself.

[Received thanks from Liu Xiaoli, temperament +1! 】

She glanced at the girl in her arms and clicked her tongue.

"She just listened to that boy's words..."

Liu Xiaoli said in her heart, there are good and bad things in this matter.

Although Sissi is quite well-behaved, she has reached the age of independence, and she may not listen to everything her mother says.

At least now she has someone else who can persuade her.

……

The next morning, next to the terraces on the set.

Zhang Yuan deliberately went to bed early last night, put down the phone and went to sleep.

Just to recuperate enough to cope with today’s practice with Lao Li.

"First try out what you are good at and let me see."

After Li Lianjie sat down, he drank tea and said.

“Then make adjustments according to the kung fu you are good at.”

Lao Li is so confident.

Zhang Yuan turned to look at his assistant Zhao Xuexuan.

"What's the right thing for me to come here?"

"How about doing some local specialties?" Zhao Jue replied in a huff.

"This is Yunnan, the local boxing style..."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "So what you mean is, let me do a set..."

Zhao Jueju clenched his fist and replied seriously: "Six Meridians Divine Sword!"

Zhang Yuan: ...

The Duan family of Dali has unique skills, right?

Read two less martial arts novels!

While Zhang Yuanzheng was hesitating, director Yu Rentai came over.

“Hurry up and fight, it’s considered JET’s working time.”

"Okay." Zhang Yuan calculated.

Here in Yunnan, there are Xiangxiang Boxing, Zou Family Boxing, Dai Boxing, and the Jiulong School that combines Taoist culture and focuses on self-cultivation.

He... can't do any of these.

Yundian martial arts school is relatively niche in China.

Because martial arts is actually related to economics.

The most well-known martial arts are found in economically developed coastal areas, because people have money to promote propaganda and there is a large population flow, making it easy to spread.

Zhang Yuan thought, Lao Li is very arrogant. After all, he has been a proud man all his life.

He doesn't like ordinary kung fu.

That’s not as good as that.

I will give you some good stuff that you are familiar with! (End of chapter)
