Actor: Thank you.

The poem "Mian" in the "Greater Odes" section of the Book of Songs describes the story of how Gong Danfu, the ancestor of the Zhou people, led the Zhou people to migrate to Qishan to reclaim wasteland and establish a state.

Qishan is present-day Baoji, Shaanxi.

It is a city now, but thousands of years ago it was the Great Northern Wilderness.

The Book of Songs describes how the Zhou people worked hard to establish their country but were still happy because the land of Qishan was fertile because it had never been cultivated.

Even bitter vegetables taste as sweet as maltose to the farmers.

It praises the optimism of the working people.

This gave rise to the famous idiom "甘之如饴" (gān zhī rú yī).

Zhang Yuan never quite understood how to turn suffering into happiness.

Suffering is suffering; even if it becomes a valuable asset in life, it is still suffering.

Just like Zhao Benshan, he would be grateful for the life he spent as a child, traveling the streets and alleys with his blind second uncle to perform for money, because it laid the foundation for his future artistic career.

But could we let him go back to that situation and let his child go through it all again?
Zhao Benshan was definitely not happy about it.

However, it wasn't until today, until this very moment, that Zhang Yuan was properly taught a lesson by the few Koreans in front of him.

What does "sweet as honey" mean?
Seeing the men in front of me holding wine glasses and scooping wine from the foot bath basin, with their ingratiating expressions, smooth movements, and natural postures.

The last time Zhang Yuan saw someone like this was when he was in college in his previous life. He brought a bunch of food from his hometown to his dorm, and his roommates rushed forward to grab it after he opened his suitcase.

It's as if being a step too slow will result in a huge loss.

At the same time, he smiled broadly and repeatedly called out "elder brother" and "godfather"...

That scene repeated itself.

However, the people in front of me were smiling even more brightly than my roommates.

It's as if these already expensive wines have been blessed again.

There was even a sense of urgency, as if they were afraid of falling behind others.

Zhang Yuan possesses excellent acting skills, yet he couldn't hide the surprise that flashed in his eyes at that moment.

Socialism seems to have protected me too well.

I didn't understand the meaning of "finding joy in it" simply because I was missing a key element.

cheap!
To do something knowing it is impossible is true courage.

To knowingly do something harmful is utterly despicable!

Zhang Yuan suppressed the tremor in his heart, regained his composure, and carefully observed the people drinking.

The leader was older, probably over 30.

Koreans, both men and women, undergo cosmetic surgery. If we were to describe their appearance, the way we used to describe eunuchs in ancient China would be most appropriate.

They all had faces like peeled eggs.

It's difficult to determine her exact age.

But it's clear he's not young, and he's definitely not a trainee anymore.

This person was the first to rush forward to fill the bottles with wine, while also calling to the young men behind him, who were only teenagers.

Those are probably new actors or idol trainees.

The older ones went to great lengths to please, while the younger ones behind them seemed inexperienced, their faces showing fear and disgust, but they dared not resist.

Despite being reprimanded, he hesitated before stepping forward and picking up the cup.

Zhang Yuan knew what was going on.

This shows that they are not born inherently base, but rather the environment makes them increasingly base.

Similar to how brothel owners in ancient times forced women into prostitution.

The brothel madam who forces a good woman into prostitution was once a good woman herself.

Under the leader's rude Korean reprimands, all the boys raised their glasses and drank heartily.

"Hahahaha... Clap clap clap clap."

The delinquent girl washing feet laughed and clapped her hands upon seeing this.

For Zhang Yuan, this was a very strong psychological shock.

After all, in China, it's considered extremely impolite to force young actors to drink alcohol at a dinner party.

But for them, it was just a routine "obedience test".

"You should come too."

At this moment, the delinquent girl turned to him and said something.

Zhang Yuan: I want a drink too?
this……

He was even considering calling the police.

But then I thought, the South Korean police aren't all that great.

Don't say it's your "wine".

Even if it's Scarlett Johansson's "wine," I can't drink it.

After all, I'm not Durant.

"Hey, get a basin ready for him too."

"Am I supposed to make my guests take off their own shoes?"

"asshole!"

The delinquent girl yelled, and immediately someone who seemed to be her manager beckoned a young girl who was equally shocked to come forward and serve her.

Zhang Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At least I wasn't asked to drink it too.

The main problem is that I don't like salty red wine...

"Wait a moment." Zhang Yuan raised his hand to interrupt, stopping the few young women who were reluctant but had no choice but to step forward.

Although it's not an obedience test for him, I wouldn't be happy to get involved in this kind of thing!

Because there is a kind of kindness called not aiding and abetting evil.

Although Lao Tzu was not a virtuous man of the world, he also had no ability to change the world.

But it's still okay to stick to your own beliefs.

If I see something I can't stand, I might not offer a helping hand, but I'm capable of simply not hanging out with you guys anymore.

When you see a cesspool, walk around it and don't throw firecrackers in, you might get hurt.

Therefore, he had to refuse, and he had to refuse skillfully.

"I haven't eaten yet."

Do you have anything to eat here?

"These red wines are better paired with steak."

"Of course! I have the best steak here."

"Hey, hurry up and make the decoction!" the girl shouted to the maid in a rough voice.

This person almost never calls the other person by name when speaking.

But then she looked at him again.

"You didn't like my welcoming ceremony?"

It refers to "drinking red wine".

While both Europe and China have traditions of women treading on the ground to brew wine, post-processing is another matter.

"I just don't like seeing girls looking embarrassed."

“It’s really interesting to force these incompetent people to submit,” the delinquent girl said bluntly.

“I think it’s more interesting to make bastards submit, just like you did to these guys.” Zhang Yuan pointed to the group that had led the drinking earlier.

"Hehe, of course." The delinquent girl smiled upon hearing this.

Zhang Yuan understood that he could not deny the other party's identity.

Otherwise, you might easily provoke this creature.

She's only a teenager, how many ways could she possibly think of to humiliate someone?

It's obvious that these tricks are all learned by imitation from adults.

Maybe that's how her mother and godmother treat their subordinates.

She was imitating adults' behavior to prove that she had grown up too.

This is a common behavior among teenage girls, similar to secretly wearing adults' clothes or using adults' cosmetics.

Whether it's right or wrong, you'll learn it.

This kind of unconditional and unquestioning obedience from subordinates to superiors is a cultural dreg from places like Japan and South Korea.

This isn't the case in China.

We should treat our parents with the same humility as when they are being punished.

It was a tradition for ministers to contradict the emperor over matters of state.

Why is it said that the Ming and Qing dynasties represented the pinnacle of feudal power in China?

Because Emperor Zhu would often punish his ministers with the "Nine Clans Elimination Game".

The Jiajing Emperor established the tradition of arbitrarily punishing his officials.

During the Qing Dynasty, all Han Chinese officials were reduced to slaves.

The more unrestrained the power of life and death over subordinates, the more successful the consolidation of power by those in power.

South Korea, on the other hand, is a feudal country disguised in modern clothing.

Sometimes Zhang Yuan even wanted to appeal to some "entrepreneurs".

Please, please, let's embrace some capitalism!
What level is South Korea at now?

A country like yours hasn't even laid a solid moral foundation for modern civilization. Can you guarantee to me that it will win in a crucial competition like Industry 3.0?

Let's be realistic. I advise you to first understand the concept of capitalism.

Xiaowen is doing a good job taking care of him. Why did you replace him? Tell me why.

As a result, the Blue House was targeted and its leadership was reduced to 1:5; everyone except Chief of Staff Moon was imprisoned.

Tell me, how do you explain this?
In reality, these people are essentially financial magnates, but their true nature is that of a feudal slave group.

The delinquent girl's behavior fully illustrates how severe the alienation and distortion of people can be caused by their environment.

The debate between the theories of inherent goodness and inherent evil has raged for millennia without a clear winner.

However, the more popular theory nowadays is that environment and education influence personality.

Zhang Yuan thought that if this girl had been born into Qian Ge's family, she would probably be a gentle and healthy teenage girl right now.

At the same time, I can't help but marvel at how strong Guo Qilin is.

Seawater rice has miraculously grown in saline-alkali soil.

"Let's eat first, and then we can sing and dance together."

"Let them eat too."

"Fine, whatever." The delinquent shook her head. "It's a waste to give them good beef."

"But if you like it, whatever."

A short while later, we sat down to eat.

Some people grill the meat, help with the dipping sauce, and help roll it up with vegetable leaves.

At least I didn't eat kimchi.

Zhang Yuan analyzed the situation while eating.

Ultimately, what this girl did was just showing off her "abilities".

Just like a pretty girl will put on makeup and deliberately dance when she sees a boy she likes.

However, this girl's values ​​have become distorted due to the influence of the external environment.

Looking beyond the surface, one can see that even the most pitiful person has something hateful about them.

She's still trying to get attention.

It's like deliberately riding a horse to attract attention.

They communicate while riding on horseback, adopting a superior attitude.

Because she doesn't know how to communicate normally at all.

Zhang Yuan also recalled that this woman had a very chaotic private life, and later became famous for marrying and divorcing before she was even 20 years old, and having three children. The children's fathers were not the same person.

She is rude to strangers, yet extremely dependent on men.

If you show her even the slightest kindness or affection, she'll throw herself at you without hesitation and be willing to do anything for you.

Many girls with low self-esteem and a "love-obsessed" mentality are girls who don't receive love at home.

Zhang Yuan had already tried it; when he offered his opinions with encouragement and agreement, the other party wouldn't refuse.

"Oppa, you're so special."

At this moment, the delinquent girl chewed her food in an unseemly manner and said to him.

Zhang Yuan never quite understood what was so appealing about Korean films and television shows where both men and women would eat with their mouths bulging, talking as they chewed, and with greasy mouths.

But that's how it is in real life.

"Am I special?" Zhang Yuan asked in a friendly manner.

"Of course!" The girl nodded vigorously, looking very excited.

What makes Zhang Yuan special?
For her, especially after her godmother took over.

No matter how glamorous or aloof a big star or boss may appear in public.

But once she's in front of her mother, she becomes as fawning as a lapdog.

And those men and women would do anything for money and gifts.

Drinking red wine is just the most basic entry-level activity; there are many other ways to enjoy it.

According to unofficial historical records from the Ming Dynasty, Yan Shifan, a minor Grand Secretary, lived a life of extravagance.

They usually use a beauty basin and beauty paper.

It's about finding young and beautiful girls, and then... using them as everyday items.

The image of a "beauty bowl" is easy to imagine, but "beauty paper" is not Xuan paper used for writing.

Rather, it was because the young Grand Secretary didn't like to bring toilet paper when he went to the toilet.

In rural areas, after children use the dry toilet, some use dogs, some use pigs, and some even use people...

These are all remnants of the dregs of ancient feudalism.

However, it may not be a lingering poison on their side.

Otherwise, the Koreans are America's lackeys; they're birds of a feather.

Even the most prominent merchants would have to admit they're experts when they see North America today.

Lu Xun's writings on Chinese history repeatedly revolved around the theme of cannibalism.

Even Xun Ge didn't expect that he was just describing how foreigners were really going to do it...

In this environment, the celebrities in the eyes of the delinquent girls are nothing more than toys of the tycoons, to be discarded when broken and replaced with new ones.

Moreover, most of these toys are willing to be played with, just to earn that pitiful little bit of money in the eyes of those in power.

Even the biggest stars will kneel down when facing themselves.

They really kneel down, the kind where they can stomp on someone's head at will.

Not to mention girl groups.

There are 5 people on stage and 5 remote controls in the audience.

If the audience wants them to dance, then they have to dance.

Those who were bullied when they first debuted may become bullies themselves after they become famous, and then bully their juniors.

He can switch roles with ease.

Given this, would she still have any expectations for her country's artists and idols?

The moon is always rounder in foreign countries.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's work didn't have the effeminate quality typical of male idols in China, I became interested.

The sudden use of public funds for celebrity worship was also driven by personal interest.

Upon meeting, he remained unfazed by the sight of Malaysia and unmoved by the exorbitantly priced watch.

He no longer plays around with celebrities with her.

Sure enough, the grass is always greener on the other side!
It really is different!

He truly lives up to his idol status.

I acknowledge his judgment, and even more so, I acknowledge my own.

It is precisely because he is different from Koreans that he is special.

If he becomes blinded by talent and forgets all principles for beauty, the girl will quickly lose interest and respect for him.

It was precisely because of the rare "righteousness" he possessed that the delinquent girl became even more interested.

In the darkness and mud, a ray of light is a rare sight.

If he were Korean, this girl would want to destroy that ray of light.

The good thing is that he is a foreigner, and the other party can tolerate foreigners having influence.

Many anti-China individuals share this mentality.

"I am not special, just an ordinary Chinese actor."

"I also encounter difficulties and have problems that I can't solve."

"You only see the glamorous side of me."

"You're so capable, how could you encounter difficulties?" the girl continued, eating as she spoke.

"I'll tell you about these things in a bit."

"By the way, I don't like having outsiders around when I'm chatting." He gestured to the group of people around him who were eating very cautiously.

"Hey, get lost." The delinquent waved her hand.

[Received a thank you message from Han Yinna, dance basics +1!]

[Received a thank you from Jung Tae-soo, rap skills improved!]

……

It seems there are still a few sensible people.

He deliberately made an excuse to send those unlucky guys away.

We'll save as many as we can, and save as many as we can, day by day.

If you really want to degenerate, there's nothing I can do.

I just hope it doesn't happen right under my nose.

Lao Tzu was kind-hearted.

These boy band and girl group members had long heard of the delinquent girl's bad reputation, so getting beaten up was considered lucky.

Even if someone were to throw you off a building, they'd still find ways to escape punishment.

After eating a little more, he and the other person went to the sofa to chat.

Their family's main business is swindling people through metaphysics.

But today, Zhang Yuan is going to use their own methods against them to create an idol for this girl.

He began by recounting the difficulties he encountered in his early days in Hollywood.

He also shared how he changed the perception of white people through hard work, and how he has now become friends with many action stars.

He concealed the fact that he was involved in the filming as an investor, only saying that he brought his talent from Beijing to Hollywood.

They packaged him into a perfect image, suggesting that he conquered foreigners entirely through his abilities and personal charm.

Don't let her fierce appearance fool you; she only dares to do whatever she wants to her own countrymen.

I wouldn't dare touch a white person!

In the movie, Park's father made the North American ambassador kneel down and apologize to him, which was very satisfying for the Koreans.

But that's a movie.

In reality, even the Samsung Group doesn't dare to easily mess with white people.

Just like Hong Kong back then, it could bully Southeast Asians, mainlanders, and Hong Kongers, but if you messed with the British, no one could help you.

A typical bully at home.

So when the girl heard that he was a big shot in the white world, her eyes lit up.

"Oppa, you're so strong!"

"So-so. I'm just an internationally renowned movie star, nothing special."

Zhang Yuan replied humbly.

The mind is like a child's; it's too easy to fool.

He could get this girl to spend 180,000 yuan on him with just three sentences.

Money is just too vulgar!

"I don't act for money."

“I never even look at my account, so I have no idea how much money I’ve made.”

"My happiest time was when I was an extra, earning 30 yuan a day!"

Zhang Yuan used the same rhetoric as Jack Ma.

"I work simply to build a career."

"I want to be the most famous Asian artist in the world."

"Oh!" The delinquent girl was excited after hearing this.

So sublime!

So this is what real actors are like.

“After getting to know you, I find South Korea very interesting.” He praised the other person again.

The little girl was amused by it.

"So I think we should let more Chinese viewers know about and understand South Korea."

"To promote full cultural exchange between the two countries."

"That's why I became the Korean Culture and Tourism Ambassador."

It's definitely not because of the 5000 million yuan endorsement fee.

I forgot about the money a long time ago; I forgot about it as soon as I received it.

“Coincidentally, some friends told me that South Korean TV variety shows are very interesting.”

“I want to operate as a company… I have some small companies in China.”

"Introducing it to China will promote cultural exchange."

“But just as I told you,” Zhang Yuan’s eyes dimmed slightly at this moment.

"Even if I try my best, I will still encounter difficulties."

"For example, we encountered great difficulties in importing programs."

"But life is full of disappointments, so it's normal."

"Since things aren't going smoothly, I plan to finish dealing with the advertising and return to China as soon as possible, giving up other jobs."

"Are you going back to China?" the girl pouted.

"You haven't ridden horses with me yet!"

"I had no choice but to pick him up."

"Although I wanted to stay, the business had already failed, so there was no point in me staying any longer."

"Damn it!" the delinquent cursed.

"What nonsense is this that's preventing you from playing with me?"

“As long as I talk to my mom and godmother, this kind of thing is easy to resolve.”

"There's nothing in all of South Korea that I, Zheng Weiluo, can't solve!" The delinquent girl pounded her chest with her fist, her face full of fierceness.

Very good... Zhang Yuan took a sip of wine.

You always want to prove yourself and demonstrate your abilities in front of your idol.

Perfect timing, I'll give you a chance.

Even the most worthless trash can be turned into something valuable. (End of Chapter)
