Actor: Thank you.

Amid applause, everyone bid farewell to Mr. Ma Ji.

A generation of masters has passed away, where will the next master be?

Zhang Yuan, who was among the mourners, glanced at Teacher Guo beside him.

not enough.

His abilities are OK, and his contributions to the industry are also mentioned.

But there is still a long way to go in terms of magnanimity.

Those who do great things and achieve great things all need a broad mind.

The one who can unite all those who can be united is called a leader.

In comparison, Brother Qian next to Teacher Guo seems to be more like a master of supporting roles.

Brother Qian can talk about "good" and "evil" and "black" and can sit at the same table with anyone.

When there is something to do or when we need to get things done, everyone will respond.

After the ceremony, the family leader Ma Dong invited everyone to have dinner together.

Uncle Benshan came to find Zhang Yuan.

"I have to go back quickly, the crew is waiting for me."

"Well, I'll leave after dinner." Zhang Yuan signaled with his eyes: "I am considered an insider after all, it would be inappropriate for me to just turn around and leave."

"Okay, I'll eat before I leave to avoid gossip." Uncle Benshan then pulled him to eat together.

At the banquet, people from Guangdeyuan Society filled three tables.

He sat with Guo Yu. Uncle Benshan was a famous person after all, so he was invited to the main table and sat with Jiang Kun, Feng Gong and the direct descendants of the Ma family.

But Teacher Zhao is also a decent person.

Because Zhang Yuan didn't ask for any money for his guest appearance in his play.

He also inquired and found out that the price for him to make a guest appearance is quite high, with more than ten being offered a day.

So Uncle Benshan specially pulled him over to chat with the people at the main table for a while.

"Hey, I heard that you don't want to worship Mr. Yuan." Uncle Benshan specifically mentioned this.

Because Yuan Kuocheng worked in Yingkou for many years during his youth, he is considered a big figure in the Northeast folk art circle.

Zhao Benshan also spoke of him with great respect.

This moment I was deliberately giving Zhang Yuan something to say.

"Well, today is Mr. Ma's big event, it's not appropriate to talk about my business." Zhang Yuan took a step back.

"It's okay. My father likes the hustle and bustle, and would like to see the folk art industry flourish." said Ma Dong, a relative.

I thought that this kid was indeed more capable than his brother and was giving face to our family by backing down. I couldn't do anything bad.

"Remember to send us a red post later, and we'll go join in the fun."

"Sure, sure!" Zhang Yuan clasped his fists in thanks.

At Mr. Guan’s funeral, Yuan Kuocheng and the people from the Chinese Folk Music Association talked about this matter.

At that time, Feng Gong, Jiang Kun and other members of the Ma family were also there.

When Mr. Yuan and Liu Lanfang mentioned this in advance, the few people just smiled and nodded but did not agree.

After all, although crosstalk and storytelling are similar, they are still two different professions.

No one from the Ma family can tell storytelling.

But now that the head of the Ma family has spoken, all his disciples nodded in response.

Ma Dong works for CCTV and has very sharp eyes.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan was not an ordinary person and had come specially to attend his father's important event, he decided to return the favor.

We can take care of each other in the market in the future.

In fact, his personality is very unlike that of CCTV. He has less official airs and more of the shrewd and mercenary nature of Shanghai.

So he didn't plan to stay at CCTV until retirement, he had big ambitions.

"Okay, I should."

"Yes, Mr. Yuan is also a senior who deserves respect."

Feng Gong and others immediately replied with a smile.

Zhang Yuan was delighted.

When it comes to matters like becoming a disciple, of course the bigger the fuss, the better.

After dinner, Zhang Yuan said goodbye to everyone.

Just now while we were having dinner, I wanted to ask Teacher Guo why he seemed to be in a bad mood today.

But the other party kept his mouth shut, and he was busy walking around, so he didn't get anything out of him.

But there is no need to rush.

"Let's not say goodbye yet. We have to meet on the set soon."

Seeing that he and Zhao Benshan were about to catch a plane, Teacher Guo said.

"Okay, see you on the crew then."

The two of them returned to Yunnan.

It was getting dark soon after we landed.

Zhao Benshan and Wu Ma are still filming the funeral scenes.

This play is so scenic now that it gave Lao Zhao a sense of déjà vu when he was filming it.

Zhang Yuan, who was observing Zhao Benshan's performance, praised him repeatedly.

Because most people in the folk art circle have switched to film and television, they all have this opera flavor.

But the rustic peasant spirit of the black soil that Mr. Zhao brings overshadows the flavor of his opera.

Therefore, even though there are some small stage movements in the performance, they are not abrupt.

Once you have reached a certain level of internal strength, the moves don’t matter... That’s roughly what it means.

buzzing...

He was absorbing inspiration from the other person's performance when the vibration of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, are you in the imperial capital?"

After Zhang Yuan came to the side holding the phone, a slightly magnetic female voice came from the receiver.

"No, I'm in Yunnan."

"what……"

Teacher Li Daran let out a long note of disappointment.

She had just seen the news online that Zhang Yuan was attending Ma Ji's funeral, so she hurried to find him.

Speaking of this news, it was exactly what Zhang Yuan thought.

The high-profile image of Mr. Guo and his wife wearing mink fur caused disgust and criticism from many people.

Especially among those in the same industry, there are many people who mock and curse you behind your back.

The reason why Li Xiaoran looked for her was very simple.

itch.

That...itchy feeling.

I haven't seen you for a while. It's been several months since I've had time.

Either he is busy or she is busy.

Teacher Da Ran is also quite popular and has a lot of work.

"It will take me a while to get back to the capital, probably after the New Year."

I was already itching, and it got even more itchy when I heard his voice.

Teacher Li hesitated for a while and then spoke.

"Tell me the exact address and I'll come over."

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, as the soundproofing in the crew's room was not very good.

"Forget it, I still..."

Seeing that he did not answer immediately, Li Xiaoran regretted being too proactive.

"Come on, I'll text you right now."

They have already sent their heads off from thousands of miles away, it would be inappropriate for me not to continue.

"Hey!" Da Ran agreed excitedly and hung up the phone without saying anything more.

Zhang Yuan put down his phone and immediately went to a nearby barbecue stall and ordered a bunch of oysters, lamb kidneys, etc., to prepare for the battle the next day.

A few days ago, he heard Teacher Yuan next door having a fierce battle, and he happened to be a little angry.

Zhang Yuan still doesn't know whether the other party is rocking the bed just for the sake of face.

I had planned to buy some flowers or something to pick him up tomorrow.

I didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to arrive by plane overnight!
I arrived at the crew hotel at 11 o'clock in the evening.

"You didn't even tell me so I could pick you up." Zhang Yuan opened the door and put his arm around her waist, scolding her.

"I can't wait... No, I'm worried that you'll have to work hard."

As he spoke, he took off his coat...

"You complain about being tired every day, but I see you are quite energetic when filming."

Next door, Teacher Yuan Quan is complaining.

"Go to sleep. You can go home tomorrow after the shoot."

"After I get home, I still have to prepare for other work. I'm about to rehearse a drama, which will be very tiring." Teacher Xia Yu said as he covered himself with a quilt.

Teacher Yuan snorted coldly.

Teacher Xia is thirty years old this year, and Yuan Quan is one year younger than him.

It is the age when one thing grows while the other shrinks.

……

The two of them just lay down back to back.

"Look at you!" Teacher Xia complained after listening to it.

"It's all your fault. Why were you pretending to be fine these past few days?"

"They are taking revenge now."

"Heh..." Yuan Quan was too lazy to refute.

After a long time.

"Zhang Yuan is usually very kind, but why is he so vindictive!" Teacher Xia Yu complained. "It's been several hours."

"Aren't your hands sore?"

"Heh..." Teacher Yuan Quan, who was lying with his back to him, sneered again.

Is that hand-cranked?
Please don’t judge others by your own standards!

But judging from the sound of his voice, he has made progress in the past two years.

I didn’t expect that I could still make progress even though my starting point was so high!
Teacher Yuan was upset and threw off the quilt and sat up.

"Hey, don't go knocking on doors and swearing, just treat it as a game, we are all friends." Teacher Xia Yu stopped them.

"I didn't mean to knock on the door. I was going to the bathroom."

"You've been up eight times in the past few hours. Are your kidneys not in good condition?"

"I think your kidneys are not in good condition!" Teacher Yuan scolded angrily.

If your kidneys were as good as the guy next door, I wouldn't have to go to the bathroom six or seven times...

The next morning, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan met Zhang Yuan in the corridor with dark circles under their eyes.

You can tell at a glance that they didn't sleep well.

But Zhang Yuan slept well.

Li Xiaoran is also very good.

But Teacher Yuan Quan is still hungry.

I listened to it most of the night last night.
"Brother Xia Yu, this is your last game today, right?" After Zhang Yuan greeted him, he went downstairs to eat with him.

"Yes, I'll leave in the evening." Teacher Xia thought to herself that she would go home and sleep tonight and wouldn't have to listen to you rocking the bed.

"You said before that you wanted to watch me perform a play." Teacher Yuan Quan said while eating, "Give me your address and I will send the tickets to your home."

"Okay...right." Zhang Yuan replied cautiously.

Are you sure you want me to come and watch the show?
Teacher Xia is still here.

"You like watching plays, that's perfect." Xia Yu didn't care, and continued, "I will also stage a play after the New Year, you can come and watch it if you have time."

"What play is it?" Zhang Yuan knew that it was the famous drama "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" performed by Yuan Quan.

"Meng Jinghui's."

"Oh, that must be a good show. I want to come."

"You really know what you are talking about."

"Director Meng is capable, and you two are a powerful combination." Zhang Yuan said while holding him.

Xia Yu wanted him to come because he had celebrity friends to support him, and he could then accept an interview and praise him a few times to help buy tickets and boost his popularity.

"The work is called "A Romantic Encounter."

"Who else besides you?"

"Gao Yuanyuan."

Zhang Yuan: …

Look at this name, and then look at this person, it’s definitely not a good thing.

"Gao Yuanyuan, you are familiar with it, right?"

"We are quite familiar with each other and have filmed several scenes together." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

Teacher Yuan suddenly interrupted at this moment.

"I've filmed a scene with you before, are you as familiar with me as we are?"

"Well... I should say that I'm pretty familiar with both you and Gao Yuanyuan."

"Heh..." Yuan Quan sneered.

Equally cooked, that means we share the same suffering.

"Anyway, brother, remember to come."

"sure."

"Remember to come to my play." Teacher Yuan raised her head with a smile and licked the yogurt on the corner of her mouth from breakfast. "I'll lead you in through the back door then."

"Row!"

Zhang Yuan thought, have these two become an old married couple and are they at the stage of playing with each other?
Forget it, this is a common thing in the circle and we are used to it.

Teacher Xia Yu’s play was finished in the afternoon.

When he left, Zhang Yuan went to see him off.

As soon as they left, Teacher Guo arrived, looking exhausted.

"Degang is here." Teacher Zhao still greeted him warmly.

"Now you two brothers from the same sect are all together."

"Come on, you came at the right time. The bus has just been rented."

Teacher Guo’s plays are simple in nature.

It's just like the roles played by Feng Yuanzheng and Fan Kuo in "A World Without Thieves".

Two words.

Robbery!

But what is the level of Feng Yuanzheng and the scope.

He is not only an award-winning actor, but also the president of the People's Art Theatre.

There were no words, Director Feng just gave a general plot and the two of them performed a classic.

After many years, not many people may remember the plot of "A World Without Thieves".

But once you have seen the robbery scene, it is hard to forget it.

"Come... pee!"

In a dense forest, at a command from director Zhang Yang, a row of male extras started "urinating" next to the bushes.

The film was very down-to-earth, depicting a person going to the toilet on a long-distance bus ride.

In the early years, long-distance buses were very irregular. Not only were they often intercepted by bandits and road bullies, but many of the small passenger car companies or people who chartered the buses were gangsters themselves.

In order to shorten transportation time and save highway tolls, these vehicles will take shortcuts and greatly reduce rest time to improve efficiency.

Passengers will not be allowed to rest on regular servers.

It would be nice to find you a bush.

Since it's a movie, it can't be real urine.

There were about ten old men in a row, each holding a plastic mineral water bottle with tiny holes pierced on the cap.

As soon as the director shouted "start", these people squeezed the bottles hard.

While filming was going on over there, Mr. Guo was accepting a brief interview from the crew, which would be done later for the behind-the-scenes footage.

"I can't say how well I acted, but I just don't cause trouble for others."

Zhang Yuan watched from the side with his arms folded.

"That's true."

Teacher Guo stood up with a smile and pushed him hard.

Apart from crosstalk, everything this guy does has a Bangzi flavor.

Anyway, it is quite "characteristic".

He changed into his costume before the interview.

A white vest, a black blouse, and a gold chain around his neck.

The image he was designed to look like was that of a robber, but this outfit suits him quite well...

"Here, I don't give this calligraphy to ordinary people."

Teacher Zhao was holding a pen, lifting up his clothes on the back and writing.

"Fake justice."

These are all going to be used for shooting later.

"Teacher Zhao, let's practice our words." Teacher Guo said after finishing his work.

"I have no words, I just improvise."

"That's a coincidence. I usually don't have a word." Teacher Guo smiled and said, "Don't talk about me. Qian'er doesn't have a word either."

So I'm the only one in the audience who has words... Zhang Yuan looked at the two of them helplessly.

"Since you have no words, then I can just give it my best shot?"

"As long as it fits the character, you can do whatever you want." Zhao Benshan patted his thigh and said, "If it's not right, we can change it now."

"it is good!"

And so it began.

The robber played by Mr. Guo pretended to have a car accident in the middle of the road and forced the bus that Lao Zhao was riding to stop.

After the younger brother approached and held the driver hostage, Guo Degang got on the bus with a portable metal detector and scanned the passengers one by one.

Women, men, old and young, were robbed one by one.

However, there was no "rape" situation like that of Teacher Fanqiu.

When he came in front of a middle-aged actor, the detector in his hand was beeping on his waist.

Although they are props and are used for filming, the crew used real things.

Then, he took out a Nokia 3310 from the actor's waist.

"There are robbers in the car, call the police quickly." Teacher Guo spoke in a Henan accent while looking at the screen of his mobile phone.

This is somewhat of a stereotype of that era.

"Oh, you can also send blind shots?"

At this point in the performance, Teacher Guo glared and spoke sternly.

"What I hate most is people who manipulate things behind the scenes!"

Oh.

Zhang Yuan was listening.

When the two of them were holding the script just now, Zhang Yuan also glanced at it.

This word should not be in the script.

His expression was ferocious again, and it didn't look like he was acting.

Zhang Yuan understood that something was wrong... (End of this chapter)
