Actor: Thank you.

Time has passed and will never return; the past can only be reminisced about.

Zhang Yuan did not agree to Yang Tianbao's proposed "private settlement".

Because her moves are always the same, over and over again.

Using one's looks to please others.

But she never thought about what she would do when she grew old and lost her beauty.
However, models are people whose careers are short-lived and probably don't think about that much.

But Zhang Yuan still decided to open his heart to "benevolence".

Let them off the hook, but keep something in reserve.

"You don't need to meet me, and we don't need to contact each other unless absolutely necessary in the future," Zhang Yuan said coldly.

"Sigh..." Yang Tianbao replied indifferently.

She dared not use past affections to blackmail him now.

Because she understood that the person on the other end of the phone was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

Whether mental or physical.

“However,” Zhang Yuan paused, giving the other party a chance.

"I've thought about it."

"I don't think you've committed any fundamental errors."

"So I don't intend to investigate you further."

"In that case, I'll give you a chance to make a deal with me."

"That's wonderful!" Miss Yang replied without hesitation, "Who should I accompany?"

Zhang Yuan: …

You seem to know very well where your strengths lie.

No wonder she was able to rise through the ranks from a small-time model to her current position.

However, her mindset has remained fixed within the framework of Xiao Yemo, which is a case of how one's background determines one's character, and one's character determines one's destiny.

For most people, their fate is actually determined at the moment of birth.

“I said we don’t need to meet or have any private contact.”

"Regarding the movie 'Love in Space,' I can help you get the role back."

She played a factory beauty in "Hot Summer Days", and her pure and innocent look earned her a lot of popularity.

However, the character itself has little to do with her; the real person is quite different from the character.

In the sequel, she was given the role of an idol star who was popular but had no positive achievements in her career, and won the Golden Broom Award for Worst Actress for three consecutive years.

That's perfect!

Moreover, Jing Boran plays her as a couple, and his character is an honest and sunny young man, who is somewhat similar to Xiao Ming.

Anyway, Yang Tianbao doesn't need to act this time; it's her own character.

In the future, she will be just like this character, running wildly down the road of making bad movies.

This is yet another example of an actor whose fate mirrors that of their character.

However, the Golden Broom Award is a negative award that most people don't really deserve.

They all have to be popular celebrities, since awards need to be hyped up.

Baoqiang has won it before.

Yang Mi and Xixi also won it.

Yang Mi also won and received multiple nominations.

Make money, not shabby.

Bad movies pay a lot, so you still have to act in them.

Yang Mi is the most open-minded when it comes to dealing with negative nominations.

I've already made money, so what's a few words of criticism?
You can only choose between being a prostitute and pretending to be virtuous.

Yang Tianbao is a typical example of someone who wants both; such a person is greedy.

Greedy people are easy to control.

"However, it will take some time to get this role back, so don't rush it."

"If I promise, I will keep my word."

"But at the same time, starting today, you have to keep an eye on Huayi for me."

"But I'm not one of Huayi's people?" Miss Yang was a little scared.

Being a spy is tough!
It's better to just lie down on the bed and spread your legs.

“You will be, and I have high hopes for your relationship with Brother Xiaoming.”

"I can tell he likes you a lot."

"So please treat him well, I believe you two can be together."

"Really?" Yang Tianbao was quite surprised to hear him say that.

Is this a compliment?
"Yes, I think you have business potential and your personality is a good match for Brother Xiaoming."

"So you will marry Huang Xiaoming and Huayi."

“And I will not stop all of this, and I can provide you with some conveniences.”

"On the condition that you provide me with some appropriate information."

Surrounding three sides while leaving one side undefended, warfare requires strategy.

By sparing the treasure, he not only left a spy but also created an opening for himself.

Because this state of struggle will not end in the short term, we must recognize this.

"You can choose for yourself, you can think about it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Tianbao replied, "I agree!"

Zhang Yuan even doubted whether she had thought things through.

Perhaps they only saw the benefits and completely ignored the risks.

Let her go.

"Very good, give me some time to handle it, and I promise I will help you get your role back."

Then hang up.

"Hey." He tossed his phone to his assistant: "It has Yang Tianbao and Fan Bingbing."

"I'll infiltrate Huayi into a sieve sooner or later."

Intelligence warfare is also a crucial part of the game.

“Zhang.” Mickey Rourke found him on the other end.

"We agreed that if we increased the filming time, we would increase the pay."

“Yes.” Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and his assistant gave him a supplementary agreement.

"Take a look, then sign it, and it will take effect."

People act as actors for work, and it's normal for them to be in it for the money.

"Very good." This guy, though seemingly rough, was actually quite meticulous as he looked at the document, which had been prepared in both Chinese and English versions.

"By the way, the new actor seems to be more talented than the one who left before."

"At least they are relatively agile."

“That’s right.” Zhang Yuan stood up and looked into the distance.

The foreigner was referring to Mr. Xie.

This person has already undergone surgery to remove the tumor on their head and is now healthy and lively.

He had noticed before, on the set of "Bodyguards and Assassins", that this guy had matured a lot after getting married.

Even his speech has become much more tactful.

Mickey Rourke is absolutely right. In terms of skill, Nicholas Tse is far superior to Huang Xiaoming.

Not only has Xiaoming not practiced much, but his natural coordination is also not very good, and his limbs are somewhat stiff.

Young Master Xie is not only good at fighting, but he can also design fight scenes.

They also inherited the Hong Kong martial arts tradition of never complaining of pain and being unafraid of injury.

"I hope you have a pleasant working relationship with us."

"He also has good cooking skills and can cook Western food. You can give him a try if you have the chance."

"Really?" The foreigner was also surprised.

Young Master Xie is not an amateur cook; he has formally studied cooking abroad, the kind that involves taking classes.

The reason for this was a few years ago when he and Wang Fei were together, and he wanted to take care of the older woman and express his love.

This is love!

It was to leave himself a way out.

Old Wang didn't force him to learn; it was his own initiative.

This is what good love is—it helps people progress and grow.

Of course, there are good and bad things, for example...

"Are you kidding me?!"

"I told you to buy imported diapers, why did you buy mainland brands?" "Don't you know how to do your job?!"

In the rest area, a woman was pointing her finger at Young Master Xie and cursing him in a hoarse voice, one hand on her hip.

This is Mrs. Xie.

Nicholas Tse was very considerate; he didn't let the film crew cover the expenses for his wife, children, and nanny, and he paid for everything himself.

However, with both children by their side, each child was cared for by two nannies.

You already have subordinates, why do you have to make your husband do things like buying diapers?

He stepped forward and patted Young Master Xie on the shoulder.

"You've had a tough time too."

“It’s not hard work.” Nicholas Tse straightened his back, which had been bent from being scolded, and looked at him: “It’s just a hard life.”

"You chose it yourself, idol."

Young Master Xie smiled wryly.

"I'm sorry."

"She just gave birth, so she's quite emotional."

"You'd better keep an eye on things," Zhang Yuan advised. "This production crew has already had a lot of problems before; don't let them cause any more trouble."

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yuan knew their relationship wouldn't last.

Essentially, Cecilia Cheung and Yang Tianbao have many similarities.

Not only are they all very good at having fun, but they are also experts at manipulating men's emotions.

Nicholas Tse had to reshoot all of Huang Xiaoming's scenes, and with a short schedule, the work pressure was immense.

Zhang Yuan finished filming and called it a day, but he was still working overtime.

"You've worked hard, let me treat you to a late-night snack."

I specially bought a bunch of snacks from Shanghai.

Xiaolongbao, shengjianbao, savory soy milk... these are soy milks filled with fried dough sticks, pickled mustard greens, sesame oil, chili oil, chopped green onions, and other seasonings.

Many people, especially those who prefer sweet soy milk, will bang their fists on the table at the mere mention of this.

Actually, this thing is more like a bowl of soup than soy milk.

Just like the fresh meat mooncakes in Shanghai, they're more like small meat pies than mooncakes. If you think of them as something else, they're much easier to accept.

He personally delivered it to Young Master Xie, who was sweating profusely from taking the food. He was just taking a break and could finally eat something.

Not long after, while Zhang Yuan was in the restroom, he heard the hoarse voice cursing again.

"The children haven't eaten yet."

What are you going to eat?

"Our room doesn't even have a kitchen, and the children are starving."

Zhang Yuan lit a cigarette and beckoned his bodyguard over.

"Go see Cecilia after she and her husband separate."

"Tell her I can arrange a luxury suite for her, the kind with a kitchen."

"We can also hire a private chef for her to cook for the children."

"But you can't chatter on set and disrupt filming."

He gave a brief explanation in the most polite way possible.

This was because Nicholas Tse squeezed out time to help.

Zhang Yuan was afraid of getting into trouble again because of a woman.

Someone like Cecilia Cheung is good at dating, but looks matter.

But when it comes to real life, who could stand it?

She publicly humiliated her husband on set, where there were so many people around.

She felt very proud because she "tamed" her husband in this way.

This person is quite selfish and very self-centered.

But unexpectedly, before Brother Long had even left, someone came to his aid.

"What are you shouting about?"

Are you an actor in the film crew?

"Who do you think you are?"

"If you have kids, go home and take care of them. What are you doing on the film set?"

"Your constant noise is giving me a headache, and I get annoyed just hearing your voice!"

Hung Kam-po, whose lower back injury had mostly healed, still came to the public in a wheelchair for convenience.

He glared angrily and began to curse loudly.

Yang Tianbao's incident left a significant psychological scar on the big brother, and now he gets annoyed whenever he sees a woman!

I especially think that beautiful women like this are too much of a menace.

The mobile phone company also faced a lot of pressure.

Because Zhang Yuan hadn't blamed him, the older man felt guilty instead.

This is his way of handling things. For a responsible person, a guilty conscience is more effective than verbal condemnation, but the prerequisite is that one must have a conscience.

Others' words are useless; the moment he opens his mouth, Cecilia Cheung immediately falls silent.

He has the right identity, the right seniority, the right status, and the right connections!

It was entirely justified for him to reprimand her as a senior.

There's no need to worry about Nicholas Tse's feelings, because they're too familiar with each other, and he's practically a mentor to him, having taught him a lot about acting techniques and principles of doing things.

Evil people need other evil people to teach them a lesson!

It was rare for Hung Kam-po to have suffered a loss at Chow Sing-chi's hands; he had never been bullied by anyone else.

"Get back here right now."

"You are not allowed to show up again, and you are not allowed to come to the film set."

He got so excited that he not only choked on his saliva, but also coughed several times while clutching his chest.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding henchmen all gathered around.

Upon seeing this, Cecilia Cheung's expression immediately changed, and she quickly tried to apologize.

But Zhang Yuan didn't give her that chance and quickly stepped forward.

"Scatter, all of you!" He pointed first at the group of martial arts practitioners.

These people knew how powerful he was. Although the two who were beaten returned to Hong Kong, they still haven't recovered.

"What?"

The big brother waved his hand dismissively, and everyone retreated more than ten meters away.

"I saw everything that just happened."

"Let me be fair."

Once this statement is made, what follows is unlikely to be fair.

"My brother is not in good health and needs quiet."

"He should be resting if the crew isn't so busy."

"I'm very grateful to Nicholas Tse for coming to the rescue, because he was very tired."

"So everyone has to argue."

"Give me some face, and don't blame Cecilia Cheung, she just gave birth."

"Cecilia should go back to Hong Kong. There are too many people on the film set, the air is not clean, and it's not good for the children."

"I'll have my assistant book plane tickets for you and the nanny."

Zhang Yuan seized the opportunity and quickly chased this person away.

Young Master Xie chimed in, "Wife, don't make the big brother angry. Go home and rest."

“Okay…” Ms. Zhang, who loves wearing police uniforms, quickly said no and turned to leave.

In this way, Cecilia Cheung believed that Zhang Yuan had given her a way out.

Young Master Xie believed that he had helped quell Hong Jinbao's anger.

The eldest brother felt that Zhang Yuan's intervention was a way of giving him face.

Kill three birds with one stone!
Zhang Yuan was quite satisfied with the thank-you notes he received.

It solved the problem and also made some money.

In this way, the production team can operate smoothly.

He now understands a bit why the country has set up so many grassroots management personnel.

There are so many troublemakers!

"Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with," Confucius was too comprehensive.

However, while things within the film crew have finally settled down for the time being, things outside the crew are becoming increasingly turbulent.

After all, faced with his "offensive," the opponent also had to put on their own defensive strategy... (End of Chapter)
