Actor: Thank you.

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

When Teacher Guo said this line, the voice almost roared out from his throat.

Zhang Yuan pondered, this was obviously not a word in the script.

He added it now.

Uncle Benshan, who was acting in the same car, immediately changed his expression.

I also noticed something strange.

"Card!"

"Brother Benshan, you're out of character." Director Zhang Yang said in a low voice.

"Sorry, one more."

"Okay, just take a break, 15 minutes."

The director gave them a day off so the actors could relax.

"Degang, your performance just now was very genuine." Coming to the temporary rest area nearby, which was under a few folding chairs and parasols, Zhao Benshan put on his signature sly smile.

He spoke tentatively, like a big liar.

Zhang Yuan also came over at this time.

"It's quite real, it doesn't seem like acting."

Teacher Guo smiled while drinking water.

"Brother, I saw on the Internet that many people have opinions about you."

Zhang Yuan then started talking about mink coats.

When this was mentioned, Guo Degang immediately raised his head and tilted his mouth.

"Why, they have the final say on what I wear."

"I like to wear coats and coats."

"If you like to wear mink, wear mink!"

"Can they still control me?"

At this point, Teacher Guo squeezed the mineral water bottle with a lot more force, and the bottle became deflated.

"Junior brother, Teacher Zhao, these grandsons who praised me for wearing mink cannot afford mink themselves."

"This is jealousy!"

“Hehehe…” Uncle Benshan laughed while leaning on a folding stool.

"As soon as I heard these words, I knew they were said by the mainstream group!"

Oh?
After hearing what he said, Zhang Yuan figured it out.

No wonder.

He gradually understood everything.

So he continued to ask.

"I see you've been in a bad mood these days. What's the matter?"

"Have chores?"

"Is Qilin disobedient, or did the disciples make a mistake?"

When Zhang Yuan mentioned the word "disciple", he saw Guo Degang's eyes twitching.

"My son is doing fine. He is at the top of his class."

"The disciples have been doing well recently..." Teacher Guo said this and added: "Xiao Yue has made progress recently."

"I plan to give him more work."

"This kid is clumsy, please discipline him."

Guo Degang knew that Xiao Yue was his direct descendant.

Now Kong Yunlong, who came to the troupe together, happened to be hospitalized due to a car accident, so he had some free performances, so he gave some to this kid to practice.

Zhang Yuan was thinking, Qilin is a good student, but you let him drop out of school to perform crosstalk.

"My disciples and children are all fine, so what's the problem?" Zhang Yuan said with a strange smile, "Could it be that you have some tricks up your sleeve and your sister-in-law found out?"

"Go to hell!"

"Why are you still stealing Brother Qian's words?"

After making a joke to lighten the atmosphere, this man frowned and spoke.

"Hey, it's still the mainstream that is so dishonest!"

Zhang Yuan actually doesn't like to listen to mainstream or non-mainstream opinions.

He did not quite agree with this method of drawing lines and categorizing people and things into simple categories.

But this time, it’s not wrong to say that it’s a problem of mainstream and non-mainstream.

The problem lies with Cao Yunjing.

Teacher Guo mentioned this when we were having dinner before.

This kid is going to participate in CCTV's third crosstalk competition.

Teacher Guo attached great importance to this competition and even specially wrote a new program called "Whimsical" for the finals.

He also personally called Cao Yunjing and his partner Liu Yuntian to his home and explained the matter bit by bit.

He is determined to win and wants to gain face by relying on his apprentice.

With the help of the master, plus my own skills and talents.

As expected, he easily made it to the semi-finals out of more than a hundred contestants.

We are about to enter the finals.

But at this time, something went wrong.

First of all, this competition is hosted by CCTV and co-organized by the Chinese Folk Music Association.

First of all, the judges are very particular.

Feng Gong and Niu Qun are partners, and both are members of the Ma family.

Hou Yuewen and Shi Shengjie, both of them are descendants of the Hou family.

There are also Li Jingdou and Chang Guitian, who are considered centrists.

You see, the judges have made everything very clear, focusing on achieving a balance.

But in fact, it seems balanced, but it is not balanced at all!
Mr. Hou Baolin has passed away long ago, and the Hou family is far less powerful than the Ma family.

Although Shi Shengjie was Hou Baolin's apprentice, he had been a partner with Jiang Kun in the early folk art class, and after becoming famous, he also got very close to the "mainstream".

The same goes for Li Jingdou, he tends to be mainstream.

Chang Guidian is the leader of the Chang family, a famous crosstalk school.

The Chang family is relatively neutral, but Chang Guidian himself is a crosstalk artist who is as mainstream as can be.

The only high-ranking military officer in China who comes from a crosstalk background!
This person is the same as Li Shuangjiang.

So to sum up, among these people, the only one who was completely on the side of Deyuan Society was Hou Yuewen.

Everyone has apprentices, and the apprentices need to eat.

Not everyone can open their own folk art club and make a lot of money.

They still have to rely on subsidies and wages from evening parties and folk art troupe performances to make a living.

If you want to perform at large-scale evening parties and do well in a folk art troupe, then winning awards in such competitions is the best way to improve yourself and the best opportunity to show yourself.

Therefore, Guo Degang's idea of ​​relying on his master Hou Yuewen to be on the judging panel and letting his apprentice avenge his previous shame was untenable from the beginning!

Since everyone is related to each other, it has become a pork distribution competition.

They are all disciples, and Cao Yunjing is a disciple's grandson, so he has to stand a little behind.

The station notified Cao Yunjing to attend the semi-final rehearsal, and he heard others whispering with the director team about the final.

Jin Zixin said, this is only the semi-finals, why are they already discussing the finals?

He must have known he could make it to the finals before the competition even started!

Go back and tell the master.

The memory of the dead attacked Teacher Guo again.

Call the master and ask.

Maybe it touched upon some inner scars, and the tone was not very good.

Hou Yuewen is the eldest son of the Hou family, and he has the temperament of a rich young master.

"Children should stay out of adult affairs!"

Just throw it at him directly.

No matter if you are thirty or forty years old, you are just a child in front of your master.

Teacher Guo asked further.

Hou Yuewen spoke vaguely.

"The kid is good and can make it to the finals, but it will probably be hard for him to win the championship."

"I think it would be good to win the third prize."

There is one first prize, four second prizes and five third prizes in this competition!
Teacher Guo put down the phone and contacted the director to inquire about it.

I almost had a heart attack after asking this!
The director hinted at the general situation.

Apart from anything else, Jia Yuling, who beat Lao Guo to win the first prize that year, and later became Jia Lin, was awarded the second prize this time.

Not only the master but also the apprentice will be suppressed!
This time, not only can we not avenge the previous shame, but it will add insult to injury.

Teacher Guo felt that he had been fooled.

Not only was he fooled by outsiders, he was also fooled by his master.

In fact, Hou Yuewen had no choice. He was also in the system and was the deputy director of the Railway Art Troupe.

Although I accepted you as a non-mainstream person, I am actually a part of the mainstream.

He can't overturn the table because he can see him whenever he looks up or down.

Mr. Hou’s ideas are very practical.

Let your child show off first, and after he wins a prize, it will be easier for him to work on his own.

Take your time.

But people are different.

What is the Marquis's background? What is Guo Degang's background?

Teacher Guo couldn't swallow this humiliation and blocked it.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Yuan understood why Teacher Guo had been so ostentatious at the funeral that day.

Wear mink, I have money.

With apprentices and assistants, I have as many people as you!

Still want to prove myself.

Understandable, but not decent... This is Zhang Yuan's opinion.

"Haha, when it comes to being respectable, it has to be Brother Qian."

He thought about the day of the funeral and asked Brother Qian what happened. The other party should know something but deliberately didn't say anything.

Because this matter involves Hou Yuewen, Guo Degang and Cao Yunjing, three generations of master and apprentice.

Zhang Yuan is also very close to these three people.

If it was just a matter between him and Teacher Guo, it would be fine. With Hou Yuewen around, Brother Qian wouldn't want to get involved.

After all, this is an internal conflict within the Hou family.

Besides, it did not involve the interests of the group and did not violate his promise to help Zhang Yuan "keep an eye on it", so he hid aside.

Zhao Benshan was listening without saying a word.

At this moment, Guo Degang asked again: "Teacher Zhao, is the lyrics I just made up okay?"

Uncle Benshan understood that what he said was "I hate people who manipulate things behind the scenes the most!"

"It's okay, good words!"

The person who is most familiar with CCTV's behind-the-scenes operations is Zhao Benshan.

Every year during the Spring Festival Gala, there is always a story behind every segment.

Half of the shows have backstage support, and this is what I am saying. Just like Uncle Benshan himself.

It’s my first time in Beijing, so it doesn’t matter, I can’t find anyone.

Without the recommendation of his partner Pan Changjiang and the introduction of his benefactor Jiang Kun, he would not have had the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, let alone today.

But this is what’s good about Uncle Benshan.

He comes from a wandering background and is not that official, so he is not averse to Guo Degang's sarcasm, which is a way of venting his anger.

Because he himself likes to satirize officials from the perspective of ordinary people.

Many of his early works also contain satires on officialdom.

Such films include "Uncle Niu's Promotion" and "New Year Greetings".

"So, brother, how are you going to deal with this?"

The leading actors have all agreed, so he has no say over the lines.

It's just sarcasm, people are not as sensitive now as they were 20 years ago.

"I plan to..." Guo Degang looked stern.

"If you don't play well, then I won't play with you."

"I'm going to withdraw Jinzi from the competition."

"This is to show my determination!"

He has a bad temper.

Zhang Yuan did not express his opinion, but continued to ask: "If you withdraw from the competition, have you told your master?"

"Did he agree?"

Hou Yuewen is a judge.

"Well... we men can't suffer any loss anyway."

"I have to protect my apprentice."

Oh, that’s very clear, it’s just that I didn’t say hello to the master.

Still protecting his apprentice... What this means is that the master doesn't protect you.

He always spoke in a sarcastic tone, full of anger.

It would be fine if he didn't know about this, but now that he knew, he had to tell Hou Yuewen.

Otherwise, if the master finds out, we will be blamed together.

You're just being scolded for nothing.

Besides, I’m afraid even Jin Zi himself would not want Cao Yunjing to withdraw from the competition.

The third prize is also a prize, and it is not easy for young people to win a prize.

Also, if he withdraws from the competition, Cao Yunjing will be put on the list of CCTV.

If you offend CCTV, you will never be able to perform on this stage again.

At least as long as you use the name of Deyuan Society, you can forget about getting in.

Ultimately, it was because Teacher Guo himself was resentful and wanted to use his apprentice to show his dissatisfaction to others.

"Brother, I don't think this is a good idea." Zhang Yuan said firmly after thinking for a while.

"If I don't withdraw from the competition, are I just waiting to be bullied?" Teacher Guo was very resistant.

"In this case, don't rush to withdraw Jin Zi from the competition."

"I'll try to think of a solution and see if there's any chance of a turnaround."

"You?" Guo Degang widened his eyes.

"Yes, I." He smiled confidently, "I know my limits. Let me give it a try."

"If it doesn't work, I'll do as you say and won't play with them anymore!"

Zhang Yuan spoke in a friendly manner and tried to stop both sides, so Teacher Guo had no choice but to nod and agree.

Uncle Benshan standing by had a satisfied expression as if he had eaten all the melon.

"Can this kid still do something about this?"

"Interesting, so interesting!"

"I want to see what he's going to do!"

Putting the matter aside for the time being, Zhang Yuan thought about it in his mind but did not show any emotion.

Teacher Guo’s part was completed in two or three days.

After the filming, he said hello to Zhang Yuan.

"That thing...just keep an eye on it."

"It's okay, I'll give you the news."

"OK then."

Only then did he leave the crew with doubts.

Zhang Yuan also started filming his own scenes.

The role he plays is a people's policeman.

He had to make some adjustments to adapt to playing a policeman shortly after he finished playing a drug addict.

The plot is that Lao Zhao discovered that the compensation given by the contractor was all counterfeit money.

He felt he was too ashamed to meet the family of the deceased.

Because half of the reason he carried the corpse back home was to personally hand over the compensation money to his family.

Now I have lost my money and my spirit too.

So they dug a hole in the woods and planned to bury the body on the spot.

But after digging the hole, he lay down in it.

Maybe it was because of the long journey, he was really tired.

It could also be that the poor life made him tired.

Lao Zhao also wanted to go with his friends.

However, he didn't expect that he just knocked himself unconscious, and then he met a beekeeper's family, which made him regain hope in life.

The beekeeper and his family sent it to him in the city.

Because I was digging a hole and lying in the hole, I got covered in yellow mud.

He happened to hear a hair salon girl using a northeastern accent to chase away a customer who had teased her. After discovering that the other person was his fellow villager, he went up to her for help, wanting her to help dress up and clean up the deceased.

Zhang Yuan plays a young policeman who has a crush on a girl at the hair salon.

"Can you drive?"

"I don't have a driver's license, but I can drive." Zhang Yuan has never had time to get a driver's license in his life.

"Are you sure you will?"

"Don't joke. This is a matter of life and death." Uncle Benshan said cautiously.

Because half of his scenes require driving.

Of course Zhang Yuan understood that cars were no joke.

Gao Hu suffered a great loss because of this!

Therefore, he did not feel anything wrong about Wu Jing being caught for driving five meters under the influence, even though it was quite funny.

Get in the car and drive away.

It was a small manual-transmission van, not much bigger than the later Lao Toule.

"You really know how to drive." Zhao Benshan felt relieved when he saw that he operated smoothly and did not hear the sound of gear shifting.

"How can you not have a driver's license? At your age, you should love driving."

"I drink a lot, so I have a driver."

"Hehehe." Teacher Zhao was happy when he heard about drinking.

He was proud of Zhang Yuan's ability to drink.

"Okay, I'll buy you a license in the Northeast, so you don't have to waste time taking the exam."

“Buy, buy…Is that true?”

"Guaranteed, all mine were bought." Zhao Benshan said the illegal words seriously.

“King of Northeast China” is different.

Zhang Yuan did not refuse his face. He would take the item to the traffic police for inspection to find out whether it was real or not.

Even if it’s fake, at least I’ve been fooled by a “big liar”, and it’s more commemorative.

There are only three actors in this section.

Oh no.

Four, plus the guy who acted as the corpse.

This actor is so good that people often forget his existence.

"My name is Zhang Di, hello." The actress who played the hair salon girl greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, I am……"

"You don't need to introduce yourself, everyone knows you." This person smiled sweetly.

After chatting with him, I found out that he is a professional, having graduated from the PLA Art Academy in 99.

This girl's looks are average in the entertainment industry.

But if compared among ordinary people, she is definitely considered a beauty.

The two of them got to know each other for a while and then practiced their words.

Then a performance was performed.

The content is not complicated, it's just the scene where Zhang Yuan comes in and greets the two people.

On the first day, several co-stars were still in the adjustment period, so the intensity was not too high.

This was very easy for Zhang Yuan and was completed smoothly.

The night scene didn't take too long to shoot and we finished work early.

It’s not that he is being a big shot, but Uncle Benshan’s intensity during the day is too high and he can’t handle it.

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Yuan took a shower.

He rubbed his hands and looked at Teacher Dabai who was lying on his side on the bed.

It’s white, so white.

Not only is it white, but it also doesn't droop.

She was swaying and hooking her finger at him.

Having been with her for several days, it felt like I was back to the days when I was filming "The Banquet".

And she was very considerate and stayed in the hotel almost the entire time, rarely showed up during the day, and would not come to the set to find me.

I know he's become popular recently and I'm afraid of causing trouble for him.

Except for Zhao Benshan who smelled the scent of powder on him, most people in the crew didn't know about Li Xiaoran's existence.

The two of them were actively and enthusiastically communicating before the game.

dong dong dong...

But suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you looking for me so late..."

Squeak!

Open the door.

The person who appeared in front of him was the young actress named Zhang Di who had just acted with him.

"It's you, what do you want from me?"

"You..." The man paused shyly for a few seconds before speaking.

"You looked so handsome in your police uniform just now."

Zhang Yuan: …

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yuan felt as if a small flame was rising in the room behind him... (End of this chapter)
