Actor: Thank you.

"You... spend money?" Song Xinxin looked at him with a questioning look.

"Yes, I spend money." Zhang Yuan looked back with sincere eyes.

He also introduced to Song Xinxin the film and television dramas he had invested in.

"Ouch!"

After listening to it, Song Xinxin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

sure!
All the films that were invested in were masterpieces with well-known names.

It's not the kind of thing that's just there to make up the numbers in a corner.

Song Xunxuan didn’t even know who he was before. This guy is really closed-minded and only cares about the people around him.

Those who are familiar to me are all veteran actors of the same age.

Not only do they not understand the younger generation, they also have little interest in understanding them.

This personality habit is also related to family conditions.

In terms of people, she and Liu Qianqian are actually a bit similar.

If I don’t know someone, I will say I don’t know them, even in front of hundreds of people and cameras. I will not lie just to save face.

If it were Fan Bingbing or Cheng Hao, who came from ordinary backgrounds, they would definitely just say polite words.

The confidence brought by the family environment can really change a person's view of the world.

"Xiao Zhang, you are very good!" Song Xinxin looked at him in surprise.

"When we first met, I thought you were just a guy who made a living by your looks."

Zhang Yuan: …

It's refreshing to speak directly, but it's a bit too direct.

But this one is not directed at him.

Take Yang Zi, who is worried now, for example.

Song Xunxun likes her very much.

Because among the three children, she is the most obedient, knows how to take care of adults and speak softly.

But Song Xinxin had also said it to her face.

"You are average looking, so you need to work harder on your performance and studies."

How heartbreaking these words are for a teenage girl!

It was the truth, and it was for her own good, but it still hurt.

Doesn’t Yang Zi know that he looks average?

When filming "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang".

She is dark and thin.

Shu Chang, who is also a child star, is fair and tender with a pretty face. Her eyes seem to be able to speak when in front of the camera.

There was no need for adults to tell her; just by watching her singing, she realized that her basic conditions were far inferior to others.

But it was fate and time, and she would never have thought that her future self would be much better off than the colleague she looked up to back then.

Compared with Zhang Yishan's natural self-confidence, Yang Zi is actually a little inferior.

So this time the crew is going to kick her out again.

There were three children in total, and the other two were fine, but I was the one who got kicked... You can imagine how she felt.

The girl, who already had a little low self-esteem, would be so conflicted when faced with such a change.

It might be hard for others to imagine.

This is another reason why Zhang Yuan wants to pay.

The film will definitely make money, there is no doubt about that.

In addition, taking advantage of someone's misfortune... no, providing timely assistance and adding people to the company is also worthwhile.

"Uh..." After understanding the situation, Song Xinxin calmed down and thought about it.

Zhao Benshan on the side raised his hand and wanted to say something, but hesitated.

He is not very optimistic about this matter.

It’s not that I think Zhang Yuan has no money.

But this matter is very complicated.

He wanted to advise Zhang Yuan not to get involved.

But then I thought about what happened a few days ago, about Guo Degang and the crosstalk competition, and he also said he wanted to contribute.

Neither of these things is easy!
Not to mention a young man in his twenties.

Even if he himself wanted to get involved in these two things, he would have to put in a lot of effort and it might not be effective.

But then I thought, this kid is very smart.

There's no such thing as getting involved without benefit, and there's no such thing as getting involved without a good thing.

As for him, let’s take a look.

Don't give blind advice.

If you really can't handle it, it's not too late for me to give suggestions.

As a wanderer himself, he has his own vision, so Uncle Benshan decided to keep it aside for the time being.

"You are not familiar with our crew, so let me ask for you and test it out first..." Song Xinxin said cautiously.

It seemed that even she was afraid of something.

"No, I can just ask myself and tell you myself."

"you say?"

"Yes, Director Lin Cong, I am familiar with him and I recognize him." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

How could he not be familiar with Lin Cong?

We played mahjong several times and won a lot of money from Wang Fei.

Last time I introduced her to a house that she had bought, the price should have increased a lot by now.

Zhang Yuan picked up his phone and called Lin Cong.

"You really know him." Song Xunxun couldn't believe it.

really.

Lin Cong was quite enthusiastic after receiving his call.

The house price has increased by more than 2%. When asked about this, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Just now, Song Xunxun thought that this kid did whatever he wanted and was a little unreliable.

You have to make preparations in advance and try to gain some favors before you can say anything.

I didn't expect that the other person's face was no less important than mine.

Lin Cong is Yingda's apprentice, and of course he is very familiar with Song Xinxin.

Although Song Xunxun and Ying Da had a very unpleasant quarrel, Lin Cong was still very nice to his master's wife.

She originally wanted to save face, but she didn't expect others to save her money.

"Hey, look at what you said."

"Why don't you answer me now that I'm famous?"

"That's because I've been busy lately."

Seeing the way Zhang Yuan and Lin Cong talked, she knew that they had a close relationship.

"Besides, the reason I didn't look for you is because we were short of people to play mahjong."

"Sister Fei is tied up in household chores, so it's inconvenient."

Speaking of Wang Fei, Lin Cong also sighed.

That child is quite annoying.

"Come on, I'll get in touch later and we can play together for a while."

"It just so happens that I have a new home, and you haven't been there."

"And the child has also completed the surgery."

Zhang Yuan was talking about Wang Fei’s youngest daughter, Li Yan.

He underwent his first cleft lip and palate repair surgery when he was three months old and is now in the recovery period. Lao Wang should have some free time.

Playing cards with her can also help her relax.

"Oh, by the way, I happened to be filming on the set and met..."

Zhang Yuan told the other party in detail about his willingness to invest in "Home with Kids 3".

Logically speaking, as a director, you should be overjoyed to hear that someone is willing to spend money.

But this person, like Song Xunxun, seemed a little conflicted.

"I know you want to help us, and you want to help the little actors."

"Well... this matter is actually quite complicated."

"It's not just the actors who have problems."

Lin Cong gave him a brief explanation.

The audience all knew that Yang Zi was replaced.

The heroine suddenly changed into a strange face, and even a blind person could tell something was wrong by the voice.

But the situation is actually more serious where the audience can’t see!

It’s still the same salary issue as that of actors like Song Xinxin.

The producers responded to the request for salary increase with an attitude of treating people as if they were beggars.

Therefore, the producers, screenwriters, and even the camera and props teams of the first two films all failed miserably.

They say they are giving up, but in fact they are just creating confrontation.

We won’t do it if the salary doesn’t increase!
Unfortunately, it's all in vain.

The standard Chinese answer is given above.

"If you don't do it, someone else will!"

This is why the quality of the last two parts of "Home with Kids" dropped so seriously.

Not only was Yang Zi replaced, but the entire production team ran away!

Therefore, the reasons why the last two films were not good were all attributed to Danlin, who had connections with the actress, which was actually a bit unfair to her.

Although she is the most obvious big flaw.

But whether it is a dynasty or a company.

The rot starts from within, and from the top.

"Producer Li Hong and I have a very good relationship."

"But I can't persuade you."

"They have to support their families and have children."

"And the script supervisor Li Jianhong, who worked with me every night to produce this work during the first episode."

"She has to leave now too." "Not only is she leaving, but the entire writing team can't stay either."

"I am the only one left, and I can't stand alone."

Zhang Yuan learned this from Lin Cong.

Indeed, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.

But even if you don’t want it, there are still people who do!
As soon as they heard about the discord here, Guangdong Provincial TV Station immediately offered a high price and tried to poach people!

Lin Cong tried his best to keep her, but she was unsuccessful.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan called her.

So what she meant was...

Need more money!
It’s not about adding money to the investment, or the amount of investment, but about improving the team’s treatment to help her retain employees.

Many bosses are willing to invest and increase the pay of leading actors.

But when it comes to improving employee benefits, they immediately turn hostile.

"I see. I agree."

“Lowering prices is not a path to sustainable development.”

Just like Deyuan Society’s current low performance fees.

"That's great, I'm glad you understand!" Lin Cong knew that he was straightforward, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"I will communicate with the team and the higher-ups right away."

"Wait for my news!"

Putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan looked relaxed.

"Done?" Song Xunxun tilted her head and looked at him.

"About that." He replied confidently.

"Then I'll call Xiao Zi and tell her to reassure herself." Song Xunxun was also impatient and couldn't stand it.

"Okay, talk to her."

"By the way, I'll treat her to a meal if I get a chance."

"Why are you looking for her for dinner?"

"She's still a minor?"

Zhang Yuan: …

Who do you think I am? Would I attack Yang Zi?

"I'm paying her to act in the show, I can't give it to her for free, right?"

"Planning for future acting career."

"Do you think she is good?" Song Xinxin tasted something.

"Yes, I hope she'll be fine."

As long as it makes money for me, there's nothing wrong with that.

"Okay, I'll talk to her. She's quite obedient to me."

Song Xunxun called Yang Zi immediately.

The little girl was still in junior high school, and she was overjoyed when she heard that there was a turn for the better.

When she heard that Zhang Yuan wanted to invite her to dinner, she was overjoyed.

After finishing this task, Zhang Yuan was in a good mood.

In the next few days, I would shoot at night and when I returned to the room, the big and fragrant Li Xiaoran would serve me. It was so wonderful.

"What do you think of my niece?"

"It's pretty good, but sometimes I have a bad temper."

"By the way, can you ask her to be nicer to me?"

On the small face of the police car, Zhang Yuan, dressed in a righteous police uniform, slowly recited his lines to Uncle Benshan.

Normally, when filming this kind of driving and dialogue scenes, the crew would use a towed cart and then set up the camera.

The actors just have to pretend to drive.

This crew didn't do that.

Really let him drive and shoot at the same time.

The photo was taken on a main road with ordinary vehicles on both sides.

In the front was a pickup truck belonging to the film crew, with the cameraman and equipment in the back.

The policeman played by Zhang Yuan is an honest man, so he pretends to be silly and is very polite to "uncle" Zhao Benshan.

Zhao Benshan pretended to be addicted and actually started a matchmaking relationship with his temporary niece.

A tick for a tick.

The girl took care of him, made up and cleaned him and the dead.

He also wanted to help the girl break through the window paper and find a good marriage.

So although Uncle Benshan showed his deceitful attitude again in this passage, his starting point was very simple.

"Card!"

"Okay, let's do it again with a close-up later."

The director was very satisfied and it was a relief to have this person come to the rescue.

He mainly filmed his scenes at night.

During the day, we will shoot content about Teacher Song Xinxin.

The character she played met Uncle Benshan at an underground blood station.

Places like Black Blood Station were also very common in the early years.

After the blood station was destroyed by the police, the two came to the rescue station together.

It happened to be the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rescue station organized a party, allowing the rescued people to perform their own shows and have fun together.

The two of them performed a double act together.

In this double act, Uncle Benshan was actually making a spoof of his own show.

In 98, he and Pan Changjiang performed a duet called "The Village Head's Speech", which was a spoof of this segment.

The two of them were performing and chatting at the same time.

The two of them developed feelings for each other because of their similarly difficult backgrounds.

Yes, this movie also has a love story!
Nowadays even military dramas have to do with love, and this movie does the same, but it's handled very well.

Just a brief taste, leaving a thought for the character.

However, there is a sad story behind this relationship.

The female homeless person played by Song Xinxin not only picks up garbage, but also sells blood.

Just to support my son’s schooling!

But the son has been admitted to Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, a double first-class 211 university. While he takes his mother's "hard-earned money" every month, he also despises his mother who supports him and does not allow her to appear around him.

Although Southwestern University of Finance and Economics was badly hacked.

But this is another point that makes this film extremely advanced.

In later generations, many college students and even primary and secondary school students have complained online that their parents are poor or give them too little living expenses.

The core of comedy is tragedy.

It's funny that the two characters develop feelings for each other.

But the lives of both of them were full of sorrow.

While watching the two people's performance, Zhang Yuan was sniffing and his eyes were a little sore.

It's so real, so full of flesh and blood, and it stimulates my tear glands.

In addition to the authenticity of the characters and the story, the director also paid attention to the details.

The last few segments are about Lao Zhao traveling thousands of miles to deliver the corpse, but fainting when there were only a few hundred kilometers left.

When he woke up, his body had been "confiscated" by the police.

As a last resort, I had to cremate the body, put it in a box and take it home.

Because the law stipulates that it is illegal for private individuals to transport corpses.

Only the transportation of urns is not restricted.

This story can be summarized as follows...

If we count on our fingers, there are 36,000 days in our life. If we have thousands of houses, we need only three feet wide for sleeping.

To sum it up in four sentences: People are like flowers in a pot, and life is a mess; no matter how well the house is built, it is only a temporary residence, and this "little box" is your permanent home!

This movie is ahead of its time, but Zhao Benshan is even more ahead of its time.

Just from the cremation scene, you can see the style of the director and the film.

He really found a crematorium!

I actually went to take pictures in front of someone’s stove!

But it's not really burning people.

In ordinary movies, ashes turn into a pile of powder.

But those who are familiar with the destruction of corpses should know that after cremation, there will not only be powder, but also many small pieces of bone fragments.

Just scattered here and there.

The director specially bought a dead pig to burn, and filmed the process of Uncle Benshan sweeping and picking up the ashes.

Real, cold, but true.

Seeing how particular he was about filming a corpse, Zhang Yuan had no complaints about him requiring him to film while driving on the main road.

People set high standards for themselves, and as actors we have to cooperate.

In fact, this movie can be regarded as an all-star cast.

Not only are there a large number of celebrity guest appearances, but there are also experts behind the scenes.

The film's soundtrack is composed by Dou Peng.

He is Dou Wei's cousin.

He is a great figure in the domestic film soundtrack industry.

"So Young", "Peacock", "Suzhou River", "Dear", "One Step Away", "Killing", "Big Fish and Begonia"... they were all done by him.

With his soundtrack, the quality of this film is elevated to a higher level.

Zhang Yuanyuan called it "Zhao Cilang's Summer".

It is really similar to Takeshi Kitano's "Kikujiro's Summer" in its core.

They are all road movies, where you encounter all kinds of people and things along the way, and ultimately find yourself and hope in life.

A few days later, Zhang Yuan's scenes were finally finished.

At the same time, he also received a reply call from Lin Cong... (End of this chapter)
