Actor: Thank you.

"You!" Yuan Kuocheng smiled and pointed at him.

"You are the best at using the power of others to bully others."

"I'm a fox, doesn't that mean you're a tiger?" Zhang Yuan said, holding the tablet.

"Not only you, but all four of you are tigers."

"Hehehehe..."

The four storytellers at the main table all laughed happily after hearing his words.

"I think you are planning to make the monkey king when there is no tiger in the mountain." Liu Lanfang scolded with a smile.

Several people from the Ma family had just left the table.

It was quite uncomfortable, but not particularly uncomfortable.

The reason why I feel sad is that there will be one more person to share the cake with in the future!

Judging from Zhang Yuan's behavior today, it was obvious that he was trying to settle the matter by setting the table.

He dares to set up a table at this age... He is not very old, but there are four older people behind him, so he has to accept it.

Jiang Kun and Feng Gong have the most disciples and are the most famous.

At the same time, in every crosstalk competition, the two of them take advantage and get the most seats.

Mr. Ma Ji is a contemporary master and it is no problem for him to surpass his peers.

But now Zhang Yuan has the support of the Hou family, and Ma Ji is actually also from the Hou family.

There are already a lot of people spreading rumors that Ma Ji and Hou Baolin are not on good terms.

There are even some saying that Ma Ji beat Master Hou.

If the Houmen and Mamen fight among themselves again, it will be even worse.

Since they come with great momentum, they have to give up some interests.

But what made them not so uncomfortable was that

Although Zhang Yuan snatched food from the tiger's mouth, he showed respect to Ma Ji.

That is to tell them that although I will make trouble, I will only do it within the rules.

This way their bottom line is not touched.

Because they were the ones who helped make the rules!
As long as the "rules" are not broken, their core interests will not be harmed.

Countless revolutions at home and abroad have proven that the bourgeoisie is inherently weak and compromising.

In fact, not only the bourgeoisie, but any vested interests are weak and compromising.

The more vested interests one has, the less they dare to overturn the table, and the less they like others to overturn the table.

So, as long as you put your hand on the edge of the table and pretend that you are about to lift the lid, they will take the initiative to talk to you.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to make them think that you really have the ability to overturn the table.

While Zhang Yuan was speaking, Jiang Kun and Feng Gong had been stealing glances at Liu Lanfang to see her reaction.

The key is which side the chairman of the Music Association stands on.

But as soon as they saw Liu Lanfang, they knew they had fallen into Zhang Yuan's trap!
Because Jiang Kun and others need the Chairman to stand on their side.

And Zhang Yuan only needs Mr. Liu to succeed immediately.

The moment they needed Liu Lanfang to seek justice, they had actually already lost.

"Today is your big day, a double happiness." Zhao Benshan toasted him in a wicked manner.

"You have good news too. The film has been finished."

"Haha, it's a happy event." Zhao Benshan had been watching from the side.

I didn't expect that he would actually do what he said.

Really making a move on this crosstalk competition.

"Did your sketch pass?" Zhang Yuan also asked.

"It's barely passed, mainly because your teacher Dandan is in a bad mood recently." Uncle Benshan downed half a glass of white wine in one gulp: "It's all because of the drama "Home with Kids"."

"I have to take the photo, but I'll get mad if I do."

"It's too difficult and stressful. After all, this play is very complicated and ordinary people can't wade into it."

"That's right." After hearing what he said, Zhang Yuan returned a glass.

He recognized Uncle Benshan's voice-over.

It was to remind him to stay out of the TV show, as it was dangerous.

In some matters, let alone helping you, if they can just give you some advice, they will treat you as their own.

There are many people in this circle who will push you into the fire pit, and some even dig pits for the people around them.

It was already not easy for Zhao Benshan to remind him to be careful.

This one is also smooth.

Unlike Teacher Chen Peisi, who comes from a noble family and has the arrogance of an artist.

That tough guy from CCTV.

Uncle Benshan is more like a soft nail.

"I have no opinion on CCTV, nor do I dare to have one."

These are his exact words from an interview.

While expressing his attitude, he also expressed his dissatisfaction.

This is also the reason why Chen Peisi was banned, but he was able to have a "good end" at CCTV.

Since he said the water was deep, Zhang Yuan understood it even more clearly.

After saying that, he came to the Deyuanshe table.

As soon as he arrived, his disciples all looked at him with respect.

Brother Qian pushed him with his elbow and Cao Yunjing quickly stood up.

"Uncle Master, I respect you!"

"I toast to you!" He Yunwei took the opportunity to stand up.

All of a sudden, everyone in the group stood up and toasted together.

What is status?

The disciples all heard what had just happened.

Our uncle is really amazing for being able to snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of the mainstream!

Especially compared with the master.

The master's only solution is to withdraw from the competition.

Brother Cao is in a difficult position and is caught between two odds.

But if our uncle-master takes action, not only will he not have to withdraw from the competition, he can also win a prize.

The disciples knew clearly who they followed to eat better.

These days, the favors between teachers and students are trivial matters; making money to live is the big thing.

Of course, everyone will support whoever can lead everyone to a good life.

"Oh..." After sitting down after drinking, Guo Degang still sighed indignantly.

"what happened?"

"In the end, it's still not fair!"

Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said nothing.

Are you not satisfied with the second prize and you insist that your people win the first prize?

Then why don't you go yourself?
"Degang, I think it's fair."

"It's not easy for Zhang Yuan to fight for fairness for our group." Brother Qian said.

Yu Qian also realized that Zhang Yuan's help to Cao Yunjing this time was not only for the benefit of the group.

Combined with his behavior last time at Lao Guo's house, he could clearly feel that Zhang Yuan was siding with the "princelings".

Brother Qian himself is also a "princeling", after all, the prince is his apprentice.

He obviously intended to distinguish between Lao Guo and his son.

Brother Qian knew that this must be some kind of trick he had up his sleeve, and all he had to do was cooperate.

"Qian is right, brother, you've taken so much trouble this time!" Wang Hui also helped to smooth things over: "Degang, don't push your luck!"

Teacher Guo was still a little depressed and obviously still felt unhappy.

Zhang Yuan saw this and could only shake his head slightly. It was due to his personality and there was nothing he could do.

After chatting for a few more words, we returned to the main table.

Not long after, Liu Lanfang stood up and walked to the stage where she had just become a disciple.

Seeing this person coming on stage, the place that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet.

They are all listening to the leader's teachings obediently.

"Hey hey... Uh cough!"

The throat clearing at the beginning is very leadership-like.

"Today is a great day for our storytelling industry, as we have a new member coming to us."

"Then I have a piece of good news to announce."

"I plan to have our protagonist today, Zhang Yuan, join the big family of the Chinese Musicians Association."

"It will also add some fresh blood to our group."

“I don’t know if this idea of ​​mine is appropriate.”

After Liu Lanfang finished speaking, she glanced around the audience.

Who dares to say it’s inappropriate?
Jiang Kun, Feng Gong and other members of the Ma family quickly put on smiles and took the lead in applauding to show their agreement.

They knew in their hearts that this was directed at us again!
Because when the Chairman of the Chinese Folk Art Association was scanning the tables just now, his gaze stayed on their tables for two extra seconds.

In fact, after becoming a disciple today, Liu Lanfang had originally planned to have Zhang Yuanyun accepted into the Chinese Folk Art Association.

He carries the legacy of the Hou and Yuan families, and also controls an increasingly powerful folk crosstalk group.

If they don't issue an amnesty order, are they waiting for him to start a new business?

So I had this idea a long time ago, but I wasn’t in a rush and planned to do it slowly and in a low-key manner.

But after seeing him confronting the Ma family members just now, the current chairman of the Chinese Folk Songs Association changed his mind.

Very domineering, well done!

I have to grab this right away!
Because the crosstalk competition is actually just the tip of the iceberg.

Even within the Chinese Folk Music Association, the influence of the Ma family members is too strong.

Liu Lanfang saw that there was someone here who was brave enough to fight and was not afraid of their family background.

Besides, they are Yuan Kuocheng's men, so they are mostly one of our own.

Then you have to use it quickly!

She was asking Zhang Yuan to help her balance the power within the organization.

As a woman, the old lady was able to be re-elected as the chairman of the Chinese Folk Art Association, and even as the vice chairman of the higher-level National Federation of Literary and Art Circles. She is no pushover.

She promoted Zhang Yuan to the top to keep a backup plan for herself. So now she announced with great fanfare that she would personally recruit Zhang Yuan into the Chinese Musicians Association, which was a public announcement to the world.

"This is my man!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many of my fellow opera performers were envious!
Just in your twenties!

The masters are Hou Yuewen and Yuan Tian.

You also have to join the Chinese Music Association.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for people of this age to get into the provincial or even municipal Chinese Folk Art Association.

You need to have connections and a certain level of fame.

Not to mention the National Chinese Folk Art Association, which is one of the six founding associations.

Without some status and position, you really can't get in.

There are quite a few people who apply every year, but after review, not many can get in.

"I remember that to join the Chinese Musicians Association, you need to have at least five years of professional work experience?"

"Is this kid qualified?"

someone muttered.

Indeed, the Chinese Folk Music Association has strict standards for its review.

"What are you talking about?" Someone nearby immediately responded as if he was looking at a fool.

"After working for several years, Liu Lanfang still has the final say."

That’s true, rules are dead, but people are alive.

Liu Lanfang said that Zhang Yuan started storytelling at the age of eight. Can others prove this?
If you can disprove it, it means the Chairman of the Chinese Folk Art Association is lying.

The Chairman of the Chinese Folk Art Association would not lie, so it is absolutely impossible to disprove it.

It is possible that Liu Lanfang lied, but it is also somewhat unlikely that Liu Lanfang lied.

My eyes are the ruler...it's that simple.

Zhang Yuan also immediately came on stage to express his gratitude.

That cheongsam is so worth it!

Because it is different from the previous Calligraphers Association, the Chinese Folk Art Association is a stepping stone for many people in the folk art circle to enter politics!

Brother Qian in the audience had a ruddy complexion.

"I thought my brother would be surrounded by flowers today when he became my disciple."

“I didn’t expect it could go to the next level.”

At this point, the banquet came to an end.

The older gentlemen were already tired, so Zhang Yuan led them to the rooms upstairs to rest.

And promised to take them to the Forbidden City tomorrow.

I can’t climb the Great Wall anymore, but the snow scene in the Forbidden City is still pretty nice.

"Junior brother, you look so handsome today."

After most of the guests had been sent off, the little lion saw that he had finally had some free time, so he quickly pulled him to a corner to talk to him for a few words.

"Are you available during the New Year?"

"I want to go shopping."

"Okay, I'll give you a big red envelope!"

"Yeah!" He responded with a silly smile.

After seeing off all the guests, Zhang Yuan slumped in his chair.

Even filming isn’t this tiring!

Large-scale social events are indeed exhausting.

It took a lot of effort to recover.

It was almost the same thing as before the New Year.

It just so happened that he had been sent the script of "Rush Hour 3", and he was able to study it carefully during the Chinese New Year.

Before the New Year, when they went to various companies to collect debts, Zhang Yuan tried to let Shu Chang go by himself instead of accompanying him like in previous years.

The result was quite smooth, especially the cooperation from Deyuan Society was very good.

After all, with the "aftereffect" of this banquet, no one dared to embarrass her.

Crackling...

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Yuan carried a hanging electronic firecracker.

There's no way around it. This is the disadvantage of living in the city. You're not allowed to show real things.

Employees who stayed in the capital to celebrate the New Year were invited to have dinner at home.

"The egg-laying rooster, the fighter among roosters, oh yeah!"

Look at the familiar lines on TV.

I even helped these two rehearse.

He thought about it and realized that it seemed like he hadn't spent the New Year at home for several years.

They are all in the crew.

Thinking of this, I called Liu Qianqian.

She is still filming "Secret".

"Thank you for your hard work. I still have to be on the set during the New Year."

"No, I went back to Wuhan."

Zhang Yuan: …

Yes, she took a half-day break after filming The Return of the Condor Heroes and even asked for leave to return to Wuhan.

She has a good relationship with her natal family.

I was worried that you were feeling miserable and alone on the set.

I didn't expect he slipped away so early.

"Oh, yes, I also went to see a movie."

"you……"

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, you have too much free time, are you filming any movies?

I'm counting on you to help me make money!

“You acted very well.”

"It's just a little scary. I'm scared when I see it..."

"I acted in it...Oh, yes."

Zhang Yuan then realized that the movie she went to watch was "The Disciples".

Er Dongsheng didn't know whether he had no other options or if he had just lost his mind.

This movie was actually released during the Spring Festival...

Everyone is happy during the New Year, but if we make such a disturbing movie, it’s impossible for it to do well at the box office!
Anyway, he was just a supporting actor, and before the New Year he was busy entertaining old gentlemen from the folk art circle and some friends from the film and television industry.

So I didn’t even go to the premiere or the press conference.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is just so-so, there is no need for me to rush to praise them.

I went to this movie just for Brother Hua's sake.

"Do you know that I act well?"

"Don't be so proud, I've been working hard too!" Xiao Longnu replied unconvinced.

"I know. When I have time, I'll go to the scene and watch you work hard."

"it is good."

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Who are you calling? Come over for dinner..." Liu Xiaoli's voice came from the phone.

"go Go."

The other party then hung up reluctantly.

Zhang Yuan took another stack of red envelopes from his assistant.

Each one was 1000 yuan, and he distributed it to the subordinates who came to eat one by one.

“Work hard next year and reach new heights.”

“The boss is awesome!”

"The boss is mighty!"

"Boss, I love you..."

It was lively and peaceful, and seemed much more joyful than celebrating the New Year on the set.

Having hardly slept on New Year's Eve, he went out early the next morning.

After visiting Mr. Yuan, Hou Yuewen, and Little Lion's homes one by one, I walked around for a long time before going home.

In the next few days, the courtyard was crowded with people coming and going.

There were waves of people coming to pay New Year’s greetings, congratulate people, and eat for free.

“It’s better to spend the New Year on the set!”

After just a few days, he started to feel annoyed.

As his fame and status grew, the number of favors he had with people increased.

During the Chinese New Year, I am busy like a top all day long and cannot stop for a moment.

On the sixth day of the New Year, he closed and locked the gate of the courtyard.

Don't bother me!

I finally got some peace and quiet, drinking tea and dozing off alone.

drop by drop...

But just as I was falling asleep, my daydream was disturbed by the annoying ringing of my cell phone.

When he saw that the caller was Wu Jing, he was too lazy to get up. Ge You just answered the phone while lying down.

"Happy New Year."

"Okay, so are you."

"what's up?"

"Come to the Sanlitun Police Station right now!"

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately stood up.

"Why, are you moving the car after drinking again?"

"Get lost! Why don't you wish me well?" Wu Jing cursed with a smile.

Why are you bringing up things that are not related to the topic?
"This time, there is something else..." (End of this chapter)
