Actor: Thank you.

In a small hair salon, in front of the barber mirror.

Zhang Di, who had booked the role of Jia Yingchun, was washing Uncle Benshan's hair with foam on her hands.

This is my job as a hair salon girl.

This actress looks young, but she is quite serious and her techniques are very professional.

However, both of them looked a little nervous at this time.

There is absolutely no sense of ease and comfort that the boss has when communicating with customer service.

Because Zhang Yuan, who was wearing a police uniform, was right next to them!
Including the two actors, as well as the director and cameraman, everyone could feel the oppressive feeling coming from Zhang Yuan.

"Wanzhou..." He picked up the two ID cards on the counter beside him and read them silently.

The hair salon lady and Uncle Benshan both looked tense and a little flustered.

Because the dead body was on the bed next to him.

"This is my uncle. He and his coworkers are going back to Chongqing, and they came to see me on their way." The hair salon lady, who had an idea in a hurry, said something nonsense.

"Oh, your uncle!" Zhang Yuan's expression instantly eased as he held the ID card.

As his expression changed, everyone felt that the room was as if ice had melted into water and it suddenly became much warmer.

The policeman has a crush on the girl in the hair salon.

There has been another murder case nearby recently, so the police were so worried about the safety of this secret admirer. They checked the ID card that was just placed outside with a serious look.

Although this film is not long, it contains plenty of information and every character is flesh and blood.

From carrying corpses and dead bodies at the beginning, to encountering robbers on the road, to accidentally entering a funeral and getting free food and drinks, and then encountering cyclists when setting out on the road again.

He had an accident due to tire trouble, was charged a high price for a meal at a rogue restaurant, and discovered that the compensation money was all counterfeit.

Then he was rescued by a beekeeper who lived in seclusion because his wife was disfigured, and then he went to a hair salon where he met a young girl from his hometown and a policeman.

He went out again and met a homeless man played by Song Xinxin. He eventually fainted on the road. His body was found dead when he was taken to the hospital. After being forcibly cremated by another group of police, he was taken to the door of the deceased's home.

However, he discovered that Lao Liu's home had been razed to the ground due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, and his wife and son had been relocated elsewhere.

Fortunately, a letter left by his son on the door was found, which informed his current address and revealed that the deceased had left his hometown and went out to work because of conflicts with his family, and eventually died in a foreign land.

At the end of the story, Lao Zhao is still on the road.

Not only did he have to send the ashes to the new address of the deceased's family, but he also had to find the homeless woman with whom he fell in love at first sight.

Hope is on the way.

Life is about constantly moving forward and looking ahead.

But in the end, we must return to our roots.

Wherever you feel safe is home, that is your destination.

This is a story full of adventure and depth.

"Card!"

"Congratulations to our supporting actor Zhang Yuan for completing the filming!"

“I wish him a bright future!”

Director Zhang Yang led the applause.

Zhang Yuan took off his hat to express his gratitude.

"It's not easy, it's not easy, thank you for your help." Uncle Benshan also came up to shake hands.

"Go wash the foam off your head first."

Zhang Yuan looked at him and he looked lazy now, with a white spot on his head.

"Oh, I didn't expect that you would leave after just a few days of meeting." Song Xunxun also stepped forward to greet him.

"With you here, I'll have someone to help me with when rehearsing the skit."

"Since you left, he and I have been rehearsing, and we have been quarreling all the time." Song Xunxun complained.

One of them is not sure about the words, and the other always forgets the words.

Zhao Benshan loves to change lyrics on the spot.

And they didn’t make changes during breaks, they made changes while performing!
This is why Song Xunxun always said that it was painful to work with him.

During every rehearsal until the performance on stage, I have to be careful, and my reactions and handling have to follow the situation on the spot.

Just like Guo Degang, any weaker supporting actor simply can't keep up with him.

Only a few extremely offensive players who compete with him, or top-level controllers like Brother Qian can achieve a certain balance.

Besides his love of changing lyrics, Uncle Benshan has two other problems.

He loves to laugh and often gets into accidents.

Not to mention that he loves to laugh, he always has an expression that he can't hold back his laughter on stage almost every Spring Festival Gala, it just depends on how much.

Accidents happen every year, the biggest of which was last year's "Talking Things".

When this person went on stage, he was only thinking about getting into character. He ate his lunch box and ended up forgetting the most important bag which contained the props!
Zhao Benshan, who discovered it halfway, quickly ran off the stage to get it, while Song Xinxin and Cui Yongyuan on the stage were so scared that they broke out in a sweat.

But few people, whether at the scene or watching on TV, noticed this mistake.

This is experience, skill, and the ability to handle the situation.

"Well, in two years, let your Uncle Benshan take you to perform a skit on the Spring Festival Gala." Song Xunxun said.

"If you don't go, you can't perform?"

"What? You look down on comedy sketches?" Zhao Benshan said jokingly.

"My personal image is not suitable. Performing in Spring Festival Gala skits can make me famous, but it will easily affect my main job." Zhang Yuan replied very seriously.

These two are both veterans, and when they saw that he didn't laugh it off but instead gave a honest response, they thought it was good.

"Yes, acting in comedy affects acting in drama."

"With your looks and abilities, it's better for you to act in serious dramas." Song Xunxun said, touching his arm.

"Yes, as soon as I appear on stage, even in a TV show or a movie, the audience will laugh when they see me. There is no cure."

So just like what Wang Jing said, a good comedy is not about actors performing a funny scene, but about a funny actor performing a scene.

So when starring in the movie "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots", what Uncle Benshan feared most was that as soon as people saw him, the image templates of the big liar and Heitu would appear in their minds.

The audience always watched the show with "prejudice" and found it difficult to get into the play.

"It's okay, you have to believe in Director Zhang Yang's ability." Zhang Yang comforted.

After all, Zhang Yang is a trustworthy person...

"Take care of yourself." Before leaving, he chatted with Zhang Di for a while.

"By the way, have you figured it out?"

"No..." The girl lowered her head and replied: "I don't know."

"It's okay, think about it slowly, don't be anxious, you will understand it eventually."

You have to walk your own path and make your own choices.

Deep down, he doesn't want to see girls being polluted and degraded by this circle.

But the choice is yours to make.

"You are a good person." Zhang Di replied.

Zhang Yuan: …

Even though I’m in this situation, I’m still treated as a nice guy!

After greeting all the staff, the director found him again and wanted him to help promote the film before it was released.

Zhang Yuan agreed that if he had time he could go back for the premiere or press conference.

The released version of this film is only 110 minutes long, but the director originally wanted to reserve 140 minutes.

A full half hour of content was cut out, otherwise the film would have been much richer.

It’s a pity that the film did not perform well after its release and no director’s cut was released.

It was too late, so Zhao Benshan did not plan to have a drink together.

Looking at his departing back, Old Zhao was pondering.

"It's another crosstalk conference."

"He's from Home With Kids again, and he's quite capable."

"Hey, maybe there will be something interesting to watch!"

When he returned to the hotel to pack his luggage, his assistant had already helped him pack.

Dabai is still here, and the assistant is no longer surprised.

Anyway, there are always so many goblins around the boss.

"Leaving?" Li Xiaoran asked reluctantly.

Once he leaves, I have to leave too, and we have to separate.

As the saying goes, love grows over time, and that's how women are.

"I'm quite busy next, and I have to go to several places."

"There were a lot of things to do before the New Year."

"I know. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going home to rest." Li Xiaoran tilted his mouth in disappointment.

After sending Dabai on a flight back to the capital, Zhang Yuan himself boarded a flight to Guangdong Province.

Edison Chen’s trendy brand store is about to open, and I have promised myself that I will go to support it.

This person really did as he said when filming "The Disciples". He didn't send out any red invitations. He was very advanced and only sent email invitations.

The design is quite good, but Zhang Yuan always feels that it is not formal enough.

A lot of people came on the opening day.

There are a lot of stars, but most of them are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Thank you for your help. Feel free to take any of the items in my store."

"I'll give you a 20% discount if you come here next time." Brother Edison shook his head and said to him excitedly.

20% off... Zhang Yuan was too lazy to complain. Your profit margin is so high that it's almost sky-high. I'll lose money even if you give me 70% off.

However, when it comes to trendy brands, it’s all about willingness to take action and willingness to be taken, which is similar to luxury goods.

According to industry theory, only products with a gross profit margin of around 65% or even higher can be considered luxury goods.

His estimate is a little off.

"How's it going? My business is good, right?" Edison winked at him.

It was the first day of opening the store and they made such a big fuss.

There were more than a dozen or so stars who came to cut the ribbon. Although they were all young, it was still quite lively.

Of course, Zhang Yuan stood firmly in the C position, holding a pair of scissors together with Edison Chen.

The store is indeed very busy right now, the service and cashiers are overwhelmed, and there are long queues in the fitting rooms.

"That's right. I wish your store will be prosperous every year." Zhang Yuan praised.

"Hey, are you interested in making money together?"

"I plan to open a few more branches, both in Shanghai and Beijing, in the best locations."

“Let’s invest together.”

Edison Chen knew that he was rich and popular in mainland China, so he wanted to form a strong alliance.

He felt that Zhang Yuan, a man with lots of money, would definitely agree.

In this way, it will be just a matter of time before he dominates this small market.

"No, I'm not very interested in fashion." But Zhang Yuan gave a negative answer.

"It's okay. I'll take care of the design, purchasing, and sales. All you have to do is invest the money and wait to get it." Edison thought he was afraid of trouble.

But in Zhang Yuan's eyes, it's not that this business is bad.

The leeks in celebrity fashion brand stores are very capable.

It's easy to make hundreds of millions or even tens of millions a year.

But the problem is not the fashion brand business.

The problem is you!
I'm already giving you face by coming here today.

They came to me in person, so it would have been inappropriate for me not to come.

After being rejected repeatedly, Edison scratched his head in confusion, obviously very surprised.

But I still made an appointment with him to have dinner together in the evening, and then go to a nightclub to have some drinks.

Zhang Yuan guessed that the man might hold a "photography conference" in the evening, so he only agreed to have dinner with him and refused the nightclub activity on the pretext of having something to do.

After finishing these things, he stayed in Guangdong Province for one night. He had to go out and travel around the next day, so he did not go home.

After taking a shower, I plan to rest.

I feel a little uncomfortable without Dabai's company.

At this moment, he received a call from Lin Cong.

"Hello, Director Lin."

He picked up the phone with a smile on his face.

But unexpectedly, what I heard in return was a deep voice.

"Zhang Yuan, I may disappoint you."

Lin Cong brought him some unexpected and disappointing news.

The crew of "Home with Kids" rejected his investment.

Not only did he refuse, but his words were also quite rude.

Lin Congzhong translated it into Chinese, which is very euphemistic.

But the original words are...

Who the hell is he?

What the crew's top management meant was that they were not short of money.

Let a person like him from a small family go wherever he wants.

This was the first time Zhang Yuan heard of someone not wanting money.

If you are not short of money, then you can pay your employees and actors more!
who?

Such a dick!
I have never seen such an arrogant person in my life.

Zhang Yuan was indignant.

I told Song Xunxuan everything, and she informed Yang Zi that someone was willing to pay to help her get the role back.

The result is like this, I feel very embarrassed.

He then asked.

I understood it only after asking.

I was reckless...

He does have the qualifications to be awesome.

The mastermind behind this film, the boss who controls everything, is called Yang Weibang.

This person is now nearly seventy years old, not young anymore, and has already retired.

But before retirement, this position was at the vice-ministerial level, and a powerful vice-ministerial position at that.

No wonder he looks down on me.

"It's not surprising if it's him..."

The screenwriters and production team were so angry that they wanted to run away because the actors’ salaries were not increased.

These things seem extremely reasonable when put on this person's head.

Overbearing?
Of course it's domineering.

So in his eyes, replacing Yang Zi was no big deal.

He's just a small actor, anyone can be replaced.

With my golden signboard, whoever I point to will become famous!
If the screenwriter doesn't want to do the job, just get out. Whoever doesn't want to do the job should leave. There are plenty of better people who can take his place.

He even heard from Lin Cong's words that people didn't take Yang Zi, let alone Song Xinxin, seriously.

I feel that I am the one who made the other person famous.

If it weren't for "Home with Kids", Song Xunxuan would still be a sketch actor in unsuccessful TV dramas and movies.

This again becomes the question of whether the Spring Festival Gala made Benshan, or Benshan made the Spring Festival Gala.

In Zhang Yuan's eyes, they complement each other.

But in other people's eyes, it was me who "gave" you this opportunity!

Besides, Zhang Yuan just remembered it when he mentioned the former director.

This person is the strongest among the strongest.

You can tell about this person's character by just saying one thing.

It was him who banned Chen Peisi back then!

The lawsuit was won in 98, and this person retired in 99.

Teacher Chen also didn't catch a good time.

Because whether it is a company or an organization leader, there are generally two points in time when they are most angry.

The new official took office three fires.

And the last fire before retirement!

New officials take office to demonstrate their strength and suppress political opponents.

Before retirement, I had been a leader for my entire life and felt empty inside. I was afraid of being forgotten after I left, so I was particularly sensitive.

Just then, a troublemaker came to my door and asked me to show me what it means to be old and still able to eat.

Not only can I eat it, I can eat three big bowls.

Although he has retired, he still has countless students and old friends.

Most of the famous people have been supported by him.

Bai Yansong, Shui Junyi, Wang Xiaoya, Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao were all discovered during his tenure and they all followed his lead.

Therefore, even if he retired, it was not something that Zhang Yuan, with his weak arms and legs, could do.

Because in his eyes, no matter how big a private enterprise is, it is still a small business...

"I know what happened..." Zhang Yuan sighed.

Lin Cong also sighed.

Other people in the crew could run away, but she, who was in the imperial circle, didn't dare to run away even if she wanted to.

"We'll work together again if there's a chance."

"Yeah, for sure." Lin Cong replied somewhat embarrassedly.

The other person was so considerate and sincere, but was met with a cold shoulder.

She was embarrassed.

Putting down his phone, Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly.

"This incident really echoed the couplet from Feng Gongniu Qun's skit called "The Thief Company."

"If you say you can do it, then you can do it. If you can't do it, then that's fine."

"If you say no, then it's no. If you say yes, then it's no."

"Horizontal banner: You have to obey."

With all this regret and helplessness, he lay down on the bed silently.

Just when he thought the matter was settled and there was no way to proceed, he had no idea that things would take a turn for the better soon... (End of this chapter)
