Actor: Thank you.

Men are most afraid of being disturbed at certain times.

From both a medical and psychological perspective, this can easily lead to problems.

For example, Zhang Yuan, who is currently kissing Fan Xiaopang's fair neck.

The other person was also lightly biting their lip, looking up and closing their eyes, enjoying themselves while searching for sensations and amplifying their senses.

As the saying goes, "The heart that has suffered misfortune has not yet faded, but lust has already arisen." When a man has evil intentions or lustful thoughts, his guard is at its lowest.

When Zhang Yuan first arrived at the prop room, he was thinking about how to take clothes off the clothes rack while also figuring out how to take clothes off Fan Bingbing.

With both his desire for disaster and lust combined, he was so overwhelmed by the double buff that he didn't even notice if there were any outsiders around.

"who!"

Upon hearing the voice from not far away, Zhang Yuan immediately reached out to cover Fan Bingbing's face, and then his demeanor changed.

A passionate encounter between a top male star and a top female star using props... Zhang Yuan had already come up with a news headline.

It seems that one of us has to "die" today.

We need to find a way to silence them, or even "eliminate" them.

Fan Bingbing was also startled, but then she saw Zhang Yuan raise his hand to shield her face.

Although it's a bit of a waste of time, after all, who wouldn't notice?

But when problems arise, his first instinct isn't to run away, but to take care of himself, which shows he's quite responsible and acts like a man.

At the same time, I felt a little guilty.

I'm not good at it either; I just can't help but entangle myself with him.

It's been a while since I've seen you, and I'm feeling quite lonely.

But to do this on a film set is somewhat unprofessional.

It's bad for my reputation.

That's bad enough, but it also hurt people.

The problem is that it might be one thing if it were just an ordinary person, but their appearance, physique, and temperament are so different that they can't stand each other.

But Zhang Yuan showed no sign of regret at this moment.

That's something only women do!
Solving the problem is the key.

Moreover... he realized that the shout he had just heard sounded somewhat familiar.

First of all, this is a prop room displaying costumes, especially costumes for female characters.

That shout just now was a woman's voice.

"Who?"

"come out!"

"What are you doing sneaking around in the prop room!" Zhang Yuan suddenly took the initiative.

"Could it be that they stole assets from the film crew?!"

"I have to report you to Director Han and Director Huang!"

First, label the other party as a "thief," then use a balancing act.

If I have no leverage, I'll create leverage out of thin air.

Just like the tube of "laundry detergent" that Powell held back then.

After creating leverage, I will use my status and strength to suppress the other party.

After intimidating them, offer them some incentives to lure them in.

This was his plan: to strike and then withdraw, thus calming things down.

Fan Xiaopang was terrified by his "shamelessness".

You're really being arrogant, as if we're a joint defense team here to catch bad guys.

I like it even more because it's tough yet a little mischievous.

"You can't do that." At this moment, the woman's voice paused for a moment after hearing Zhang Yuan's words before replying.

"You can't wrongly accuse someone."

As she spoke, she pulled apart a row of thick winter clothes for women from the Qing Dynasty from the middle of a clothes rack not far away.

At the same time, a woman's head, topped with a high-piled Manchu-style palace hairstyle, peeked out from between her clothes.

Zhang Yuan took a closer look and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and let go, revealing Fan Bingbing's face.

"One of our own."

The person who interrupted the two's "entertainment" was Liu Tao, who was summoned to play the role of Consort Duankang, who was also a concubine of Emperor Guangxu.

She and Empress Dowager Longyu, played by Fan Bingbing, were both members of Emperor Guangxu's harem.

However, Fan Bingbing plays the Empress, who belongs to the Yehe Nara clan and the Bordered Yellow Banner.

Consort Duankang was of the Tatara clan and belonged to the Bordered Red Banner.

Emperor Guangxu had three wives in total. Besides these two, there was also the famous Consort Zhen.

She's the Consort Zhen from the movie "The Night Thief of Consort Zhen's Tomb".

Consort Zhen was the younger sister of Imperial Noble Consort Duankang.

Both Fan Bingbing and Liu Tao are considered actresses capable of playing dignified female roles in the Chinese entertainment industry.

However, Tao Jie is more "upright", while Fan Bingbing is more "charming".

Liu Tao had just finished his makeup and photos, and was about to change his clothes.

I had just reached the clothes rack when I heard the door open.

Let's open it, it's just that people are coming.

It's okay, because even if you take off your clothes, you won't be naked; you'll still be wearing a T-shirt and thermal underwear underneath.

Early actors didn't have motorhomes like later ones.

Makeup touch-ups can be done on-site. If you need to change clothes or make temporary adjustments, just have two people hold up a bed sheet to block the view.

Why did most of the artists in the same group as Sissi, including students from the same school, feel distant from her in the early years?

Because she brought her own RV.

Just like at school, you ride your mom's electric scooter after class, while your classmates ride their dads' Cullinans.

Nothing needs to happen for the children to drift apart.

Between people lies a chasm called class.

Only someone as shameless as Zhang Yuan wouldn't care about these things at all.

The problem is, this is a human skill.

Those who are mediocre should be treated specially.

When dealing with extraordinary people, one should maintain a calm and ordinary attitude.

This is especially true for girls; it's about supplementing what you lack.

He takes rich girls on adventures and poor girls to upscale hotels.

Ordinary boys inevitably feel inferior and nervous in front of wealthy girls who come from affluent families and have excellent looks.

However, your inferiority complex and nervousness will be felt by the other person and will cause them discomfort.

Like Sisi, most boys either look up to her with awe or feel immense pressure, fearing that they might appear inappropriate or make her think they are not good enough.

The more you act like this, the more tense you become, which will eventually manifest physically and make you even less likable.

Zhang Yuan didn't, and made no attempt to hide it.

I'm stupid, I'm bad, that's just who I am.

On the contrary, it makes women feel no pressure in being with them.

When everyone is relaxed and unguarded, it's easier to connect with each other on a deeper level.

Teacher Liu Tao was not on guard at all.

But after hearing the sound of kissing, I knew things weren't that simple.

"Hehe, quite a character."

But she didn't pay much attention to it, and even laughed silently.

After all, they were on the set of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"...

She is understandable.

Once you feel the right balance, you feel uncomfortable all over if you don't release it.

But as I listened, the voice seemed somewhat familiar.

After opening a small gap, the two people came into view.

Teacher Bai became more familiar with her.

After all, this moment is just like that moment back then.

She used to stand in Fan Bingbing's position.

Thinking back to those days...

However, after her marriage, a thick "barrier" appeared between Zhang Yuan and her.

In particular, the other party helped him shoulder a large debt, which has not yet been paid off.

Even if I offered to repay her with my body, she wouldn't accept it!
My relationship with my husband wasn't exactly smooth sailing; it was more like a bumpy road.

Just make do. We already have two kids, what else can we do but get a divorce?

Seeing Zhang Yuan "happy" now, especially since she used to be happy with him, made her feel a little annoyed.

I could have left it alone, but I still shouted it out.

Just think of it as me thinking about the boss's image. What if a stranger comes in again?
"Hello!" Sister Tao still only poked her head out, grinning.

“You…” Zhang Yuan didn’t know what to say.

Instructing subordinates not to peek... doesn't seem to have much of a stance.

"How about I leave now..." Liu Tao finally spoke up.

Zhang Yuan hadn't answered yet; she was thinking about how the boss had just said I was "one of our own."

People shouldn't overthink, because overthinking leads to more problems.

Liu Tao recalled the time when "two snakes fought Xu Xian," and how he and Chen Zihan were very close.

Could this "one of our own" be some kind of hint?

"Should I leave now... or... join you?" Sister Tao asked tentatively.

Zhang Yuan: …

He covered his face. As a subordinate artist, you're being a bit too obsequious to your superiors.

"You have children, don't make jokes like that." "Get out of here, and don't talk nonsense outside."

"understood!"

Liu Tao didn't even bother to change her clothes; she just lifted her skirt and ran outside.

"Just kidding, look..." Zhang Yuan explained, turning his head to look at Fan Bingbing.

But she saw the other person squinting, gritting their teeth and looking at her.

"I'm usually very polite to my subordinates, but they always joke around with me," he explained again, feeling guilty.

“She already has two children, what could I possibly have to do with her?”

Fan Xiaopang looked unconvinced.

"Those two kids of hers...aren't they yours?"

This kind of thing happens quite often in the industry!
Female celebrities give birth to children for powerful figures in exchange for resources and assets, ensuring a wealthy and comfortable later life.

Who wouldn't want to take a shortcut in life?

"Have you seen her two children?" Zhang Yuan asked in return.

"No."

He then took out his phone and found a group photo from the Chinese New Year.

Fan Bingbing took a closer look: "It shouldn't be yours."

The child is only one year old, but his hairline is already worrying.

Small eyes, big nose.

The eldest daughter is more delicate-looking, but she's only considered pretty among ordinary people, far less so than her mother.

This is still in the case of Liu Tao.

The youngest son is just like Wang Ke, even worse.

Although Fan Bingbing is not a medical student, she couldn't believe Zhang Yuan's child looked like this from a genetic point of view.

Is it a gene mutation or something?
"My relationship with her is purely businesslike," Zhang Yuan continued, quickly removing the fruit.

"Yes, you're a man, so you do official business with people." Fan Xiaopang still didn't believe it.

Zhang Yuan: …

She rolled her eyes and shoved him.

"I'm not going to do any official business with you."

"This is not something I want to do alone, nor is it something that is mutually agreeable or like two birds in love."

Who reciprocates your feelings?

"Damn it, you're still denying it now?" Zhang Yuan took a half step back.

"Do you know that the valuable props you're wearing can only be dry cleaned?"

"You've almost soaked your clothes; the crew will come after you for compensation later."

"Go to hell!" Fan Bingbing laughed and cursed.

"See you tonight?" Zhang Yuan knew she wasn't angry.

"You can hold it in until tonight?" Fan Bingbing looked incredulous.

Do you think I don't know you men?
Zhang Yuan took a few deep breaths, then assumed a natural stance, and exhaled a long, lingering breath.

"All right."

He opened his eyes and replied with righteous indignation.

“A person, especially a man, cannot accomplish great things if he cannot even control his own emotions and body.”

Even Fan Bingbing is a little impressed. His self-control is truly admirable; he's the kind of man I've set my sights on.

Actually, it has nothing to do with natural breathing techniques, deep breathing, or self-control.

Zhang Yuanchun was just putting on an act.

His method for quelling his lust was very simple.

Fan Bingbing plays the role of Empress Dowager Longyu.

Although what he wanted was the Empress Dowager, the prerequisite was that the Empress Dowager was played by Fan Bingbing.

Empress Dowager Longyu was actually photographed in black and white, and these photos are widely circulated online.

Zhang Yuan only needed to mentally visualize this person's "honor" to immediately enter a state of enlightenment.

Let's put it this way: if Brother Qian were dressed up in the costume and makeup of a woman from the Qing Dynasty imperial harem, with red lipstick, and thrown into the real Qing Dynasty imperial harem, he would absolutely be "the empress of the world"!
Literally.

Looking at group photos of the imperial harem will make it clear that it was reasonable for Cixi to be favored. Saying she was beautiful is not to whitewash the old witch, but mainly to consider who she was compared to.

The Qing Dynasty's imperial harem was not as good as the children dressed as girls in the Deyuan Society's backstage.

Everyone says that Puyi's wife, Wanrong, was beautiful, but many people think she was just average.

Compared to Empress Dowager Longyu and Empress Dowager Duankang, you are absolutely stunning.

Casting Fan Bingbing and Liu Tao in these roles would truly bring honor to the Tartars.

With the appearance of Empress Dowager Longyu, she could scare a dog if it got up in the middle of the night.

Both being members of the Yehenara clan, Na Ying was an absolute beauty in her branch, can you believe it?

So never believe the claims made in Qing Dynasty dramas about a diverse cast of beautiful women.

The real Qing Dynasty harem was a lifeless, dying place, a product of incestuous marriages.

My craving for this stuff is purely because I'm too full.

Zhang Yuan has always felt that Stephen Chow's "Forbidden City Cop" is a realistic film.

The emperor and his harem of three thousand beauties...

How can a country ruled by a group of repulsive-looking people be respected by foreign lands?

According to Han Chinese tradition, someone who looks like that is not fit to be an emperor; he doesn't resemble a ruler.

Just like the descendants of the Japanese imperial family, they look down on even their own people.

Zhang Yuan used his imagination to enter a meditative state by imagining real historical figures.

But once the meditation ended, he opened his eyes and looked at Fan Bingbing, and felt a little tempted to get into bed again.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk…

Fan Bingbing is from Qingdao.

Although Gong Li was born in Shenyang, her ancestors migrated from Jinan.

Brigitte Lin's registered residence is in Taiwan, but her ancestral home is Laiyang.

Shandong is great.

It's full of these bright and elegant beauties.

These are all actresses with "large faces" and none of them are thin.

But that delicate yet free-spirited energy is something you can't find anywhere else.

Seeing Zhang Yuan walk away so nonchalantly, Fan Bingbing stomped her foot angrily.

Doesn't that mean he's more important to me than I am to him?
I'm now in a weaker position in the relationship.

"No way!" Fan Bingbing thought for a moment, determined to win him over completely and make him obsessed with her.

Zhang Yuan quietly slipped out; no one should fire a shot.

But as soon as we turned the corner, a voice with a Northeastern accent came from behind us.

"You're here too!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Teacher Zhao Benshan.

"Teacher Zhao is here too."

This person was also called in to take costume photos and perform a few scenes.

"I heard online that you beat up my Shenyang brother backstage at the Spring Festival Gala?" Zhang Yuan said jokingly.

Teacher Zhao curled her lip: "Don't listen to their nonsense."

"After the skit, Shenyang was so excited he almost cried."

"As a result, people spread rumors that I hit him."

Reporters believe rumors and will spread them as gossip; they have to make sure something actually happens before they start spreading them.

“My child is now very competitive and feels that he doesn’t perform as well as he did last year.”

"She's been fine in front of me lately, but she has a terrible temper outside and is hard to manage," Teacher Zhao complained.

He's gotten too cocky and a bit arrogant.

"It's the same. In my crosstalk club, Cao Yunjing, who was personally taught by Master Guo, has also been having a falling out with his master recently."

"That's true, kids are all hard to manage." Teacher Zhao glanced at him: "If everyone were like you, I'd have it much easier."

“I worked my way up step by step. If I had become an overnight sensation like my brother Yang, known throughout the country, I might have gotten arrogant too.”

"It only took him a few months to go from a folk opera performer to the male lead in Zhang Yimou's film."

"Anyone would feel dizzy and disoriented in that situation."

“I used to think it was great to earn 10,000 yuan a month, but now I can earn hundreds of thousands just by cutting a ribbon. My values ​​are going to collapse.”

Just like a computer, the onslaught of data far exceeded the threshold, causing a sudden blue screen.

"Oh dear," Teacher Zhao said, also feeling quite worried.

"Have you heard of Zhang Yimou?" He pondered for a moment, then suddenly became gossipy.

"what happened?"

"I had a conflict with Zhang Weiping."

"It's because the film 'A Simple Noodle Story' didn't do well."

"I've known Lao Zhang for so many years, he's too embarrassed to blame me."

"But in the end, it was Shenyang who starred in it, so I felt a little bad about it."

"You don't need to blame yourself. They have a conflict, it's not about this play," Zhang Yuan comforted him.

It wasn't that the film performed poorly; rather, it was that the film's poor performance prevented Zhang Weiping from achieving his goals.

"You're having a bad time with a friend and business partner like this."

"Old Zhang is just being sentimental..." Uncle Benshan sighed.

As someone with a background in the underworld, he could tell at a glance what kind of person Zhang Weiping was.

Zhang Yuan, however, was thinking.

The fact that these two are having a conflict might not be a bad thing for me... (End of Chapter)
