Actor: Thank you.

"Hey Rachel, you talked about me so much today."

"How about we talk about you?"

After they had eaten most of their meal, Zhang Yuan steered the conversation toward the actress who played Scarlett Johansson.

She also wore a black leather outfit in the film.

But when paired with red hair, it creates a strange feeling, somewhere between cute and sexy.

This is a very standard, American-style white girl with a few freckles on her cheeks.

Zhang Yuan thought he should change things up occasionally.

This woman isn't very old. Even though she's divorced, she's actually under 30, quite young.

Born in Maine, it does indeed look somewhat like a Maine Coon.

The key is that they have small heads; many Western women are like that, so you don't notice it when you look at their faces.

Once his body was revealed, it was astonishing—tall and large.

This person is almost 1.8 meters tall.

On the contrary, the actress who plays the Baroness appears to be very tall in the film, but she is actually wearing high heels and is only 165 cm tall.

He was considered short among Westerners.

Just like Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow, is 160cm tall.

She has the standard height among Chinese female stars.

That's already a bit too high for an island nation.

But in North America, that would be considered extremely short.

In North America, a height of around 170 cm is considered just right and is considered cute by Americans.

But in island nations, this height is called a "monster" or "Tokyo Tower".

Customs and tastes differ from place to place.

Zhang Yuan considers himself quite tolerant; in short, he's willing to try anything.

"You've seemed a bit unhappy lately."

"Sharing it might make you feel better."

Following his usual routine, Zhang Yuan first encouraged the other party to open up and be completely open in public.

Then let's chat privately and see how things go.

He had tried to chat with the other person several times during his break a few days ago, but the other person seemed only so interested.

He wanted to change his approach.

"Hey, it's nothing."

"I met Scott on set. We got along very well, and he's also very handsome."

We entered the church very quickly.

"But marriage is completely different from dating. After living together for a few months, our differences became so great that we could hardly live together."

"Then, they broke up."

"Phew..." he let out a long sigh of relief: "It feels like every bone in my body has been pulled out one by one."

"I don't want to recall those arguments and quarrels anymore."

My older sister spoke while adjusting her breathing, as if she were looking back on a past she found unbearable to recall.

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement.

This is where my time to care for women comes in.

The past is painful, which is why we should look forward.

Just like how the best way to get rid of a hangover headache is to keep drinking.

If a relationship fails, just find someone new.

“His predecessor, Scott, was a producer,” Channing said, turning his head to the side.

He was also a fairly well-known producer; the retro sci-fi film "Battleship" was co-produced by this former executive producer.

This ex-boyfriend has strong family connections and is quite influential in Hollywood.

Zhang Yuan understood immediately after hearing this.

It seems this highly educated woman isn't as artistic as she usually appears.

She probably sought out this man with the intention of facilitating her own career advancement.

“Wow, you must have had a tough time during that period.” Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly and handed over a stack of tissues.

At this point, showing appropriate care is the next step, which is empathy.

It's not about empathizing with the other person, but about getting them to empathize with you.

Zhang Yuan could spout a hundred bragging stories the moment he opened his mouth.

"Actually, I've experienced something similar."

He pinched the bridge of his nose, making a gesture as if reminiscing about the past.

"I was very young back then."

"I fell in love with a girl at school."

"I often drive her to the beach for a drive."

"We also go to the mountains at night to admire the moon."

"To save money to go out with her, I used to drive around late at night every day to deliver tofu and earn delivery fees."

“I thought I might be with her forever.”

“Until one day, my friend told me that he saw the girl get into a Mercedes and go to a hotel together.”

"Holy shit!" The old black guy next to him was startled when he heard this.

"Brother, are you in such a bad situation?" He even bumped fists with him.

"This is that bitch's loss."

"Yes, you can find someone better."

Everyone around them offered words of comfort.

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

He almost believed what he said himself.

If Initial D isn't enough, you can try The Return of the Condor Heroes or Half a Lifetime Romance.

Since foreigners don't understand anyway, I don't feel any guilt about lying to them.

That's how it is when you're pursuing a woman; you can only have one: her looks or her personality.

You can get women if you're shameless; if you're concerned about saving face, you can only rely on your hands.

It depends on your own choice.

"Oh..." The red-haired woman's eyes also filled with tears, unsure whether it was because of herself or because she was moved by his boastful little story.

She tilted her head and looked at him with pity.

At the same time, he raised both hands and placed them on his palms, which were resting on the table.

See, it still works.

The other party has initiated physical contact.

"I'm so sorry you have to go through all this." His older sister patted the back of his hand.

"open."

"You are handsome and a gentleman."

"And although we haven't known each other for long, I can tell that you are a very professional actor."

"Excellent in every aspect."

Wuhu... Old Black Brother, standing to the side, raised his eyebrows and gave a smug look.

They've praised him so much, I bet they're about to fast-forward to the part where they're rolling around in bed together.

But Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, they're praising me.

But something about the taste is off.

It's like they're giving out friend cards.

She wouldn't say anything like "but at the beginning."

"but……"

Zhang Yuan: …

That's it.

“But, my friend,” the redhead patted his hand again.

"You're amazing, and I can tell you're very interested in me."

"However, I have no plans to start a new relationship for the time being."

"It's not that you're not good enough, it's that I wasn't prepared."

"And..." my older sister added, as if trying to dissuade him, "I don't really like foreigners."

Hahaha... The group of foreigners around them all burst into laughter.

It made him very embarrassed.

I'm proceeding cautiously, step by step...

The key issue is that the prestige he just built up with his fists was completely destroyed by this woman's few words.

The foreign horse wouldn't let us ride it, and it was picky about food.

Some women are very good at playing the game and navigating social situations; even when they refuse, they do so tactfully, without hurting feelings.

But some people don't need to do that; they're more direct.

This one is a bit...

Zhang Yuan covered his face.

It seems that my approach works well in China, but it's not quite suitable for the local conditions.

"Okay," he replied, spreading his hands.

Explaining at this point that I didn't mean it that way would be pointless and would only make things more awkward.

It would be better to follow the style of foreigners, admit it openly, and let it go.

It was a rare setback, and after the dinner party ended, he went back to the hotel, took a shower, and lay in bed reviewing what had happened.

The fishing for Gato went quite smoothly before.

Why doesn't it work for this person?

Is this why highly educated women are more likely to become "leftover women"?
She doesn't know how to be funny, and her emotional intelligence is just average.

wrong?

Zhang Yuan thought about it and concluded that there was probably some racial connection involved.

They've already said they don't like foreigners.

Moreover, he was only playing a supporting role and had come to Hollywood to try his luck, so the other party didn't see that he had any resources.

He never mentioned these things.

It's better than some women in China who "open up their minds" just because they see a foreigner.

The word "格局" (geju, meaning pattern or structure) is written on the left and right legs.

The next day, I arrived at the film set.

"Good morning, Asian Casanova." The black guy greeted him with his newly acquired nickname.

Zhang Yuan: …

Channing was laughing, the Baroness, and even the redhead were laughing.

They've blackened his face, making him look like a ghost.

Old Blackie wasn't a bad person; he was just joking, so I ignored him.

Just do the work yourself.

Today we're filming the one-on-one fight scene with Snake Eyes.

Everyone who came had changed their clothes, and explosive charges were set up around the scene.

The kind where explosions and sparks fly all around while you're shooting.

"I'm sorry about yesterday." Before putting on his helmet, Parker brought it up with a smile: "Maybe you could choose a girl with an easier difficulty level."

Zhang Yuan: …

Okay, okay, the whole crew is making fun of me, huh?

Zhang Yuan didn't reply, but simply put on his white hood.

You're happy, aren't you?

clap clap clap...

When the action scenes started filming, Snake Eyes noticed that the White Ghost seemed to be on a rampage today!

Their movements were incredibly fast; I could barely keep up.

With each clash of the samurai swords, my wrist went numb.

You can even hear creaking sounds coming from the joints.

"Perfect!"

After filming one scene, the action director clapped his hands with joy.

Very good!
Full of power.

When Parker, who plays Snake Eyes, took off his helmet, his forehead was covered in sweat!

He's perfect, am I overwhelmed?

The guy thought about it for a long time.

"Zhang, you're not getting revenge for the joke I made earlier, are you?"

"How could that be?" Zhang Yuan grinned. "I'm the kind of person who doesn't hold grudges; everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry knows that."

After saying that, he looked down at the prop samurai sword in his hand. After forceful slashing, although the blade hadn't been sharpened, several nicks had appeared.

This is a normal phenomenon when metals collide.

He had a sudden inspiration and went to find the props manager.

"Does the broken knife need repairing?"

"No need." The props manager waved his hand: "Just stick the broken ones in the scabbard as fixing props."

"Or just scrap it."

"There are several spare samurai swords."

"What if they're all broken?"

"We can request the props team to make additional items."

"However, the process takes a relatively long time."

"what happened?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just worried that we won't have enough props."

If you're so generous, then you'll give me a chance.

He remembered that once an old man bought a used shipping container.

It's like those American TV shows where they open blind boxes from shipping containers.

It cost $10,000, and the container turned out to contain the amphibious Lotus sports car used in the James Bond film "Haitian City".

Moreover, it's not a replica; it's an original prop from the film crew.

After MGM finished filming, they put this thing in a warehouse and forgot about it. Decades later, the company didn't renew the warehouse fees, so it was auctioned off.

The prop car eventually sold for $150 million.

This suggests that foreigners often leave props lying around after filming, and management isn't that strict.

"Then I'll have a chance to steal the sky and change the sun."

Therefore, Zhang Yuan put in even more effort in the subsequent fight scenes.

He even accidentally slashed at a nearby wall several times while swinging his sword.

After Parker was in great pain and repeatedly asked to stop and rest, in a reshoot, Zhang Yuan's katana broke in two after a powerful blow.

Then I heard a snap!
The upper and lower halves of the prop knife are separated.

"I'm sorry, I used too much force."

Snake Eyes sat down irritably and loosened his wrists.

Why are you apologizing to Dao?

You should apologize to me!

"Go through the scrapping process." The props guy reluctantly accepted it.

During a break, Zhang Yuan retrieved the broken knife from the scrap yard and placed it in a brand new scabbard.

Then, they placed a perfectly good knife into a large box in the scrap yard.

In ancient times, when eunuchs in the palace took things out to return money, they often followed this routine of discarding them.

These are the culmination of thousands of years of wisdom.

Zhang Yuan was simply making a small profit off the foreigners who had stolen Chinese cultural relics years ago.

Thinking about it this way, he realized that he wasn't just using the props for fun, but rather that he felt a strong sense of national pride.

"After finishing my work," I turned around and saw the main actors gathered together, seemingly doing something.

The two actresses playing the Baroness and the red-haired woman looked helpless and even a little disgusted, standing with their arms crossed.

“Men…” The two older women shook their heads as they looked.

"What happened?"

The red-haired woman pointed to the center of the crowd.

Zhang Yuan looked up and saw a head of golden hair shining brightly among a group of men.

He went over and found that the reason his buddies were so enthusiastic and gathered together was quite natural.

woman.

But she's not an ordinary woman.

He's 180cm tall with naturally blond hair; his demeanor doesn't suggest he's an actor.

"Who is this?" he asked Channing.

"Carolina Kurkova, don't you know her?" The guy turned to him and replied, "Victoria's Secret."

"Oh..." Zhang Yuan understood. A model, a Victoria's Secret model, no wonder people are so interested.

This person is here to play a small cameo role.

He was the general's assistant who was stabbed to death from behind by Storm Shadow during the Cobra unit's attack on the desert base.

According to the setting, this soldier character is called "Cover Girl," and she is a beautiful model who has transitioned into a soldier.

We specifically chose a model to play the role, as she was a perfect fit for it.

He's not an important character.

It was purely through her agency's connections that she was brought in to gain exposure.

It can also attract the attention of some male viewers.

Old Blackie introduced him again, and only then did he understand who this person was.

This is a genuine Czech-made big foreign horse, nicknamed Big KK.

Because both words in the name start with K.

She was called KK at first, then Karlie Kloss came along who was also called KK, and she became known as Big KK, while the other one was called Little KK.

Just like the two Tao Hongs.

Little KK was quite capable; she eventually became the sister-in-law of the eldest daughter of the Sichuan Emperor and married the old Jewish man.

This KK guy is in a much worse situation.

She's so tall because her dad is on the Czech national basketball team.

At 180cm tall, he's too tall even in Eastern Europe, and he was teased by his classmates since he was a child.

She later became famous as a model and eventually became one of the headlining models for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, also known as a Victoria's Secret Angel.

She once carried the largest wings in Victoria's Secret history.

It can be said that it was incredibly successful.

But is being a model really that easy?

The domestic aesthetic of being pale, young, and thin is unhealthy, but when it comes to being unhealthy, the modeling culture in Europe and America is no less so.

He is 180 cm tall and weighs less than 90 catties year-round.

This is the weight of a Western woman with a heavy frame, not the delicate beauty of a woman from Jiangnan.

That's not dieting, that's cultivating immortality.

Women are not necessarily more beautiful the thinner they are.

Just like Zhang Yuan always urges Jiang Xin to lose weight.

Because of her large frame, she can't weigh more than 100 pounds if she wants to look good on camera.

But in real life, at her most beautiful, she weighs over 120 pounds.

With this weight, one's blood and energy are sufficient, resulting in a rosy complexion and smooth skin.

When you weigh 100 pounds, you look good on camera, but you're dry in real life.

Models are even worse off!

It's one thing for luxury brands to have high standards.

The most perverted are those pretentious fashion designers.

The clothes they produce are so bad that normal people could never even dream of wearing them.

So, while enjoying both fame and fortune, this "Big KK" went through menopause before she was even 25...

The thyroid gland also developed problems, leading to a rapid increase in weight.

These are all caused by hunger; lack of nutrition has led to physiological problems.

These physiological problems then lead to psychological problems, such as depression and panic disorder.

As a result, this woman has been out of work for a year, and all the brands that had worked with her have terminated their contracts.

Her agency was afraid she would die, so they forced her to rest for more than half a year.

Only now are they planning to let her gradually return to work, and that's why they've given her this job.

At this time, she looked alright and wasn't the thin, skeletal type she usually is. It seemed that after resting, her health had recovered considerably.

Supermodel, very famous.

But he was going through a low point in his life and was emotionally vulnerable.

When these elements come together, the men in the crew swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

No wonder the two older women next to them didn't look too good.

A woman.

Even kindergarten girls are born with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

A girl is so popular with boys that she may even be bullied by other girls.

A tendency to compare oneself to others and to seek the limelight is a common trait among women in the entertainment industry.

Those who lack ambition and a competitive spirit are definitely a minority.

Seeing that the supermodel had only been there a short time and her role was unimportant, yet she was so popular, it's normal for other women to have strange tastes in their mouths.

"Hey KK, I have a 59 Cadillac convertible. If you have the chance, we can go for a drive together." The black guy said, gesturing with his arm as if he were turning a steering wheel.

The 59 Cadillac is very famous, known as the rocket car, with taillights designed like rocket tail fins.

"Really? That's amazing!" the blonde bombshell replied, her eyes wide.

Zhang Yuan could tell that she wasn't very interested.

After all, she was once a top model and her income wasn't low; it was just a car.

But it still provides a lot of emotional value.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the red-haired woman beside him.

Indeed, although models may have less formal education, they are better at providing men with emotional value than highly educated women.

Coupled with their good looks, they are indeed more popular.

“I have a 61 Lincoln Continental convertible, all black, it’s as beautiful as a painting. You can take a ride in my car,” the man playing Snake Eyes suggested.

This car is also famous; it's the same model as the one from the Minolta brand, which has a wildly imaginative design

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "My brother is indeed British; he really doesn't know much about the situation in America."

Your car is unlucky.

The other men also spoke up.

This person said they own a Harley-Davidson.

That person said I have a jet ski and can go out to sea.

The group of men were like peacocks displaying their plumage, vying for attention.

This aligns with biological instincts; it's the most primal desire to reproduce that drives the body.

Brain?

That was long ago abandoned; now we rely on object-oriented thinking.

At this point, it still has to be the male lead.

Channing Tatum cleared his throat, striking a pose that said, "I'm about to start showing off."

The male lead is more famous, and of course, richer.

“KK, I have a yacht in Libo, Italy.”

"There is also a holiday home in the Caribbean."

"If you have time, let's take a yacht out to sea and go to my villa for a vacation."

The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches and prostitutes.

But the wealth here is only modest.

The truly wealthy are those who own boats.

Even the cheapest yachts from Pershing cost at least $100 million.

Moreover, the $100 million yacht is still a small boat that is only a dozen meters long and has a single deck.

The kind with only one small bedroom.

But this is enough to easily surpass those sports cars and motorcycles from before.

Not on the same scale at all.

Upon hearing this, the foreign woman's eyes lit up considerably.

"I really love the Caribbean Sea; the sun there is fantastic for your health."

"The food is delicious, and it's my dream vacation destination."

The praise was so strong that the model's reaction to the yacht was much stronger than to the previous ones.

This feedback made Chan Ning's lips curl into a pout.

That expression was just like Wang Yousheng in "Bright Sword," who, after donning new leather boots, stood guard at the door "reviewing" the troops.

Men are that simple.

The other guys had nothing to say either.

They're big players; they've even gone all out with yachts. What are we even doing here?

But just when Chan Ning was about to successfully hold hands with him...

An arm was raised from the edge of the crowd, followed by a steady voice.

"I have an airplane."

In this predominantly white film set, an Asian man killed the game… (End of Chapter)
