After a friendly match that almost ended the friendship, in the evening, Xiangjiang treated us to a meal at a famous local tea restaurant.
In fact, compared to exaggerated "high-end dishes" such as shark's fin rice and two-headed abalone with sugar heart, Zhang Yuan prefers more down-to-earth foods such as barbecued pork, roasted goose, and roasted pork.
It’s like going to Sichuan and Sichuan and asking local friends to recommend the best hot pot restaurant. They will definitely recommend you to a small shabby restaurant in a corner, but will not recommend you to Jiefangbei or Chunxi Road. Big hotpot restaurant.
The fly restaurant is a local specialty.
Soon, Zhang Yuan and his party felt the local characteristics.
"Hey, it took so long to order, I'm very busy, okay!"
Grandpa, with a towel on his shoulders, responded impatiently to their inquiries about the set meal.
Zhang Yuan took a look and saw a middle-aged woman standing behind the toll booth with a flowered head and a look like a charterer.
I have to say that Mr. Xing’s works are not unreasonable. They really have a life!
The little people in his movies are real little people, not the lower class people imagined by rich people.
Just tell me one detail.
In "Shaolin Football", Ah Xing, played by Xingye, stared at a row of sneakers outside the window and was fascinated.
As a result, he was driven away by a clerk in a suit and leather shoes.
This shot is very ordinary up to this point, showing the plight of a small person.
But after Mr. Xing left the camera, the clerk still used his sleeves to wipe the window glass he was looking at with a look of disgust and disgust on his face.
Just this little action and detail, if he didn't come from a low-level background and had never really been looked down upon by others, he would never have thought of it and couldn't have photographed it.
Li Xiaofeng and other members of the e-sports club felt indignant when they saw the waiter's arrogant attitude.
I think this is Xiangjiang people discriminating against mainlanders.
But they soon discovered that they had been wrong.
Seeing the customer being accused, the leader of the Xiangjiang e-sports team argued with the waiter, Grandpa, and was slapped by the other party.
Even if you don’t understand Cantonese, you know that you probably heard the curse.
“You see, everyone treats everyone equally.”
“There is no discrimination, it’s just poor quality...”
Zhang Yuan explained to his group of younger brothers.
After saying that, he asked everyone to get up and leave.
"I haven't tried the local specialties yet..." The other team leader wanted to stop him.
"It's okay. I haven't experienced the special dishes, but I have experienced the special services. Let's find another restaurant." Zhang Yuan smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder.
It wasn’t that he disliked the poor service, but he was mainly worried that he had just had a conflict with someone, and the barbecued pork that would be served soon would be prone to many foreign objects such as crooked hairs...
In the end, it was still I had no choice but to go to a fancy restaurant.
"Don't worry, you are the general today, you can eat whatever you want." Zhang Yuan said to Li Xiaofeng.
"Hehehe, that's good."
He waved to the waiter.
“Braised wings.”
“Steamed strips of chicken.”
“Half fried chicken.”
"Another bowl of white rice."
Zhang Yuanxin asked if I would like to light another cigar for you.
It seems that you did a lot of homework before coming to Xiangjiang.
Play "Detective" with me here, right?
What you want to watch is "The Golden Palace", and I have to prepare bear paws and monkey brains for you...
Not only did this person eat, but he was also ahead of his time in taking photos of the feast.
Back to the hotel, I went to major forums to show off and brag about it.
“Fuck!”
“Your boss is too generous, I’m so greedy to see you!”
“I want to kill you!”
< br>
"This can't be the legendary shark fin, right?"
"Next time you play in a competition, wait for us to beat you up!"
Li Xiaofeng was immediately criticized by a group of players in the circle .
"Why, I am a world champion, so I am not convinced by such treatment!"
He even retorted.
And all the itinerary and reception contents for the competition in Hong Kong were posted online.
Of course, I also introduced that this was an activity arranged and contacted by my boss Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan is already famous. A large group of players living on the poverty line saw that Li Xiaofeng had such good food and accommodation, and their eyes were all red.
However, these people scolded each other on the forum, and immediately approached the WE club in private, wanting to change jobs.
Manager Peile came to Zhang Yuan with a long list.
"More than sixty players have contacted us..."
Zhang Yuan did not expect that he would come to Xiangjiang to play a friendly match and make the club a favorite.
The main reason was that the e-sports clubs back then were so poor that most players could enjoy themselves for a long time just eating instant noodles and sausage.
Who can bear to see Li Xiaofeng gargling with shark fins all day long?
"Pick out the ten strongest ones and accept them." Zhang Yuan thought about it.
The combined monthly salary of ten people is just over 10,000 yuan, which is nothing for me.
The key is to make the club bigger and stronger and seize the leading position in the early stage of the e-sports market.
After all, e-sports in future generations is also a large market worth hundreds of billions, and it has a strong value-oriented effect on young people.
Coupled with the Hao family's emphasis on this aspect, he must do this well.
Later, the son of the fourth wife of a gambling king married a supermodel and soon took an e-sports company public.
More than 60% of his company's revenue comes from the brokerage business of e-sports players.
That is, the income from these well-known players’ endorsements, activities, business, and live broadcasts.
Zhang Yuan already has a brokerage company, so he has a natural advantage in these projects, so of course he has to make arrangements in advance.
After finishing the friendly match, Zhang Yuan repaired all night and came to the studio of Jade Channel the next day.
“Zhang Yuan!”
As soon as he entered the dressing room, he heard a familiar call.
Little Dragon Girl was wearing a black and white striped long-sleeved shirt today and a pair of white jeans on her lower body.
This dress is normal but a little abnormal.
“Hello.”
“Hello Aunt Liu.”
After greeting the mother and daughter, Chen Zihan, Meng Guangmei, and Zhong Zhentao were also traveling with the crew.
After Zhang Yuan chatted with these acquaintances for a while, he also sat in front of the mirror and asked the makeup artist to help him style his hair.
“Listen!”
He was putting on makeup when Liu Qianqian suddenly handed over an Ipod.
It is still the most classic click turntable.
This thing was sold for less than 2,000 yuan back then, so it was an absolute luxury.
Of course, to the Liu family and their daughter, it is just a small toy.
"What are you listening to?" Zhang Yuanzheng asked, and Liu Qianqian put a pair of headphones into his ears.
Immediately, a very Japanese rock song sounded in his ears.
The strong sense of rhythm is accompanied by a young and beautiful female voice. To be honest, it is quite touching.
While Zhang Yuan listened, he glanced at Liu Qianqian.
I saw this person looking at me expectantly.
The look in his eyes was clearly asking for praise...
Oh...he reacted right away.
She should have sung it.
Zhang Yuan recalled that this was probably the first Japanese song she recorded after signing with Sony Music and going to the island country to study.
It's called "The Door to Night" and was used as the ending theme of "The Powerpuff Girls Z".
The cards!
The ED of a popular anime was arranged at the beginning.
And Zhang Yuan remembered that she should release her first album in the second half of the year.
With the overwhelming publicity and the blessing of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the album even made it to the annual charts that year.
And this album called "ALLMYWORD" was also reprinted into her Chinese album of the same name, so you can eat two things with one fish.
What many people don’t know is that the producer of this album was Hiroyuki Sawano, who was just starting out and was not a big hit back then.
It was later generations who created theme songs and songs for "Sengoku BASARA", "Guilty Crown", "Blue Exorcist", "Attack on Titan", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Mobile Suit Gundam UC", etc. The master of island arrangement of the soundtrack.
It should be said that Liu Qianqian was at her peak when she debuted. Regardless of film, television or music, she almost made artists of the same period envious.
But to be honest, this person's musical talent is not as good as her acting talent.
The treble could not go up, the bass could not go down, and the throat got stuck in the middle...Zhang Yuan determined that Wahaha drank too much.
Actually, she knew it, but she was still young and the excitement of trying new things made her temporarily ignore her own shortcomings.
But seeing her little cat showing off her proud eyes as if she had caught a mouse, Zhang Yuan was embarrassed to tell the truth.
What to do?
Pamper me!
"Singing is so good, whose song is this?" Zhang Yuan made an expression of surprise and expectation, full of emotional value.
"Guess!" Liu Qianqian raised her head.
"Hiss...Wang Fei sang it?" Zhang Yuan replied, stroking his chin.
He knew that Xiao Longnu liked Wang Fei the most.
"Giggle..." Liu Xixi covered her mouth happily to prevent her teeth from being exposed.
【Received a thank you from Liu Qianqian, looks +1! 】
Chen Zihan on the side glanced sideways at Zhang Yuan.
I think this guy is really good at it!
Not to mention little girls under twenty, women of any age will be confused by him. "I sang it, was it good?"
"I didn't hear it at all, it's great..."
The happily told Zhang Yuanzai in detail the whole process of learning Japanese and music.
I will have to go to an island country to continue my studies in a while.
“When the album comes out, I will be the first to give it to you.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting.”
Zhang Yuan thought as he looked back.
She has already sung the ending song of the island country’s animation, how about the domestic animation also arranges for her?
While chatting, there was a knock on the door outside the dressing room.
"Please come in."
The door opened and the bearded man entered the room, followed by several Xiangjiang artists.
Mr. Xie, TWINS, Zheng Xiyi... are all from the Eagle Emperor.
This is today's press conference for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the supporting guests from Hong Kong.
"Hello everyone..." After a few people nodded in greeting, they all gathered around Zhang Yuan.
Mr. Xie even hugged him.
“Hello Zhang Yuan, it’s our first time meeting you. I’m SA...”
"I'm Gillian..."
The girl group also had a passionate exchange with Zhang Yuan.
Not to mention Zheng Xiyi, she knew him from the crew of "Little Fish and Flowers" and hugged Zhang Yuan... Then he felt a sharp gaze flashing past him. .
A few people left after saying hello.
Before leaving, Mr. Xie said to him: "See you on the set in a few days."
The other actors all turned their attention to Zhang Yuan, thinking that he knew a lot of people in mainland China.
Unexpectedly, when he came to Xiangjiang, the popular artists here were also familiar with him.
We are just a nod of acquaintance, but we are as warm as old friends with him.
That's for sure.
The main reason why these people were so polite to him was because he arranged for them to go to the "Dance Forest Conference" on Magic City TV Station.
After accepting Zhang Yuan's favor, he naturally had to be polite.
In addition, although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is broadcast on Jade Channel, TVB has a good relationship with Eagle Emperor.
The Eagle King was “ransacked” by ICAC before because he and TVB conducted fake voting.
Not only are the two families brothers in life and death, they can also be regarded as colluding.
That’s why the Eagle Emperor sent people to assist in the performance today, and the ones he sent were all his generals.
Of course, there was no Mr. Xie originally. He came purely for Zhang Yuan.
"You and Nicholas Tse are going to film together?" Liu Xiaoli heard Mr. Xie's words before he left.
"Ah, yes, let's make a guest appearance with him..."
Zhang Yuan roughly talked with these people.
“Fang Shilong’s movie!” Chen Zihan exclaimed.
Everyone lamented that Zhang Yuan was lucky. Even if it was just a guest appearance, being able to appear in Big Brother's movie was a great opportunity that most of the people here could never hope for.
"How are you doing lately? Are you feeling better?" The bearded man came behind him and asked, holding his shoulders.
“Basically good.”
“That’s good, I may need you to move a few times and show off your Kung Fu moves.”
“No problem.” Zhang Yuan made an OK gesture.
"What's wrong with your health?" Liu Qianqian turned around and asked after hearing this.
The superiors blocked the news about the VIP Building, and the Liu family’s mother and daughter did not learn about it.
Big Beard only found out about this because of Hua Yi.
It can also be seen from this point that Boss Chen behind Liu Qianqian has not entered the inner circle of the Imperial Capital.
In other words, it is no longer in the inner circle.
Zhang Yuan could only mention a few words, covering up most of the inside story, especially those who went in.
“Oh, by the way.” He said this and mentioned it in passing.
"The Hao family will hold a charity race in the future. If you have time, come and support."
Chen Zihan and others were stunned.
He is so lucky that he has established a relationship with the Hao family in Xiangjiang?
"Who can go...you have the final say?" Chen Zihan asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
"Absolutely." Zhang Yuan nodded.
Huh... Listening to what he said, everyone knew it. It seemed that he was really involved with that family.
“I want to go!”
“I want to come too.”
"Zhang Yuan, I can't drive, can I go?"
A few people hurriedly chatted about it with great anticipation.
This kind of scene will definitely be reported, it is a good opportunity to increase your own popularity!
"Brother B, I remember that you seem to like drag racing. Do you want to arrange a racing seat for you?" Zhang Yuan asked Zhong Zhentao.
In addition to playing in a band, this guy is also good at playing cars and calligraphy. He has a wide range of interests and hobbies.
"Wow, that's great!" Zhong Zhentao patted his arm hard.
Liu Xiaoli on the side was silent, but everyone saw it.
“We haven’t seen him for a while, and he seems to have become stronger again.”
“With the right to organize racing, I’m afraid many seniors in the industry will have to take the initiative to please him.”
< br>"Qianxi, do you want to come and play?" Zhang Yuan turned around and asked.
Liu Xiaoli felt quite comfortable seeing that he was thinking about his daughter when he had good things to do.
"Sissi hasn't gotten her domestic driver's license yet." Aunt Liu said quickly.
Although she is of Lighthouse nationality, she has a long-term residence visa for work and study, so she can take the domestic driver's license test after providing proof.
"It's okay. Just temporarily renew your racing license at the venue. If you really can't do it, don't play. You can also be a cheerleader."
He replied to Liu Xiaoli and looked at Liu Qianqian again.
But when I saw this girl's face, she didn't look happy and excited, but instead looked a little sad.
She leaned forward and spoke in a low voice.
"Are you really well?"
"Oh, it's okay."
There were six or seven actors in the dressing room alone, including Liu Xiaoli. They are all familiar with Zhang Yuan.
But after hearing this, everyone cared about the car, but Liu Qianqian cared about his body.
Just like going out, friends and relatives only care about how much money you make.
More jealousy, less ridicule.
Only your parents who love you will worry about whether you have lost weight, whether you are wearing long johns, and whether you are in good health.
"Is everything okay?" The sadness on Liu Qianqian's eyebrows has not dissipated: "I'll take a look later."
"Yeah." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
That is to say, there are so many people now. If it were just the two of them, they would have to be pulled into their arms and given a good RUA.
After all preparations were completed, all the main actors appeared on stage one by one to greet the media, audience and fans during the opening song "The World is Unparalleled" sung by Zhang Liangying.
After the bearded man said a few words, he took the lead in applauding to welcome the performing guests in Xiangjiang.
Mr. Xie is the finale and TWINS is the opening act.
"Both of them are so young." Liu Qianqian is also learning to sing and dance, so she pays special attention to the performance of the girl group.
“Yes, I can’t tell that she is five or six years older than Sissi.” Liu Xiaoli, who was also sitting in the audience, also nodded in approval.
Zhang Yuanxin said he couldn’t tell.
Not only can’t you tell that you are older.
You still can’t tell that Gillian has been left with precious pictures by Teacher Chen.
It is even more difficult to tell that Ah Sa actually had a secret marriage with Prince Ji in Los Angeles at the beginning of this year.
People in Xiangjiang have a lot of fun.
After Mr. Xie finished his performance, the atmosphere reached a climax.
Big Beard just started playing the trailer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This video contains a lot of martial arts scenes between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, which are very exciting.
Amid the applause and cheers of the media and fans, the leading actors returned to the podium to accept questions from reporters.
After several leading actors took turns to chat about their roles in the play and their experiences on the set, the bearded man raised his eyebrows to the side calmly.
The host immediately said to a reporter in the front row.
"Now let me ask this reporter to ask questions."
The unprepossessing media staff member stood up and took the microphone.
"May I ask our Yang Guo, Mr. Zhang Yuan."
"It is rumored that you are about to play a major role in the new film "A City of Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yi."
"I want to know if this news is true."
As soon as these words came out, all the lenses and flashlights were directed towards Zhang Yuan!
A white light flashed for a moment, as if someone had thrown a dodge in front of him.
Not to mention the media reporters, all the other actors present opened their mouths and looked at him with surprise.
Zhang Yuan:...
He looked sideways at the bearded man.
I saw that this old boy was so happy that his chrysanthemums were blooming, and the wrinkles on his face were about to take off.
He knew it well.
This old boy must have sold himself out for the sake of publicity! (End of this chapter)
