Actor: Thank you.

Da da da da…

In Shanghai, outside a high-rise office building.

A multi-person lifting basket used for cleaning glass curtain walls slowly landed on the ground.

The continuous sound just now came from the hanging basket.

The source of this sound was the male protagonist Zhu Yawen, whose relatively neat teeth were chattering.

After Zhang Yuan landed in Shanghai, he came to the filming site of the "Apple" crew.

According to the setting, there are only five important characters in the play.

The male protagonist An Kun and his wife, who is also the female protagonist Liu Pingguo.

The two people are a high-altitude window cleaner and a girl from a foot massage parlor.

The second male and female characters are the owner of the foot massage parlor, Lin Dong, and his wife Wang Mei.

Plus there is the younger sister of Liu Pingguo’s colleague and good friend.

The role played by Zhu Yawen is the window cleaner An Kun.

Don't be fooled by his chubby appearance. Once the hanging basket was pulled up to a height of 20 or 30 stories in the air, he became scared.

"Is Yawen okay?" Female director Li Yu stepped forward to comfort him.

"I, I, I'll take my time." Zhu Yawen's lips turned pale.

Zhang Yuan stood by and watched with his arms folded.

Isn't this embarrassing for me?

When he sat in the rest area and drank a sweet drink to calm his nerves, Zhang Yuan came over.

The assistant brought him a chair and sat next to him.

"Didn't you read the script before filming this scene?" Zhang Yuan asked sideways.

"Of course I did." Zhu Yawen hurried back when he realized it was his boss who spoke.

"Now that you've seen it, you know your characters and you know this play exists."

"If you are afraid of heights, either don't take the job or practice ahead of time."

"What's the matter with being weak at the scene?"

"Your performance just now was very unprofessional!" Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his voice.

Zhu Yawen was already feeling a little weak, and when he heard his serious tone, he shuddered all over.

He hurriedly explained.

"I'm never afraid of heights when I go to amusement parks."

"I've ridden roller coasters, bungee jumping machines, and pirate ships all the time, and I've never been afraid."

"So I thought..."

Zhang Yuan covered his face and said, "You guys at Beijing Film Academy are all like this, right?"

He and Wang Jia are classmates of Liu Qianqian.

The last time in Paris, Wang Jia did the same thing.

You guys who graduated from Beijing Film Academy have quite uniform speaking styles.

I looked at him again, and he looked about the same as Wang Jia who was trembling all over on the iron tower.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Yuan paused and immediately said to the street.

"I don't want you to think, I want you to do it!"

Zhang Yuan deliberately raised his tone and voice.

"You know this character is a special practitioner, and the work he does is not a common job."

"In that case, don't you do any research and practice before filming?"

“Have you ever personally approached a window cleaning company and participated in a work experience?”

“Even if you don’t have work experience, you should at least try high-rise descent or find a high-rise place to experience life.”

"Did you do it?"

Zhu Yawen shook his head guiltily.

He just graduated and is still using the same set he used in school.

The script, characters, and thinking are all good.

It’s not like he didn’t do his homework.

In fact, he took this play very seriously and even asked his classmates to help him with the lines and rehearse privately.

But all he did was the “literary” part.

This is also a common problem among academics, who tend to be more theoretical.

And none of the remaining four leading actors in this film graduated from China's top universities.

Fan Bingbing went to Xie Jin Film and Television Academy, Tony Leung went to the wireless training class, Kara Hui never went to a performing arts school, and Zeng Meihuizi was a dancer but studied hosting and broadcasting at Communication University of China.

None of these people can match Zhu Yawen's academic qualifications.

But precisely because these people are "unprofessional", they pay special attention to things other than experience and theory.

However, the reason why Zhang Yuan spoke to Zhu Yawen so harshly was not to teach him a lesson.

Unlike others, I don’t have much contact with Zhu Yawen and our emotional foundation is not deep enough.

And as soon as he arrived, he was assigned this masterpiece which was of low budget but had a star-studded team.

In addition to "Apple", he also invested in the previous film "Crossing the Guandong".

All in all, it went so smoothly!
As for the others, whether it is Baoqiang, Ning Hao, Huang Bo... they have all suffered and worked hard outside, and they all understand how hard it is to get opportunities.

He is different. His undergraduate class at Beijing Film Academy is considered a gifted talent in the film and television industry.

As soon as I arrived at his company, I saw a TV series and a movie, and they were all top-notch teams.

In addition, she is Liu Qianqian's classmate and good friend, so they are related.

It's too easy to become arrogant.

As the saying goes, a dog is proud to lift its tail, and a man is proud to lift his penis.

If you are treated too well, you will become too proud and lose your mind and not be able to distinguish between the big and small kings.

The simplest way to control your subordinates is to give them a slap in the face and then give them a sweet reward.

Zhu Yawen was like a man who ate two sweet dates but didn't get slapped at all.

Well, now that I have the chance today, I have to press it a little.

Seeing that Zhu Yawen didn't dare to breathe or speak, Zhang Yuan thought it was about time.

It's just a token of my appreciation.

After a slap, you have to comb the hair and give it a shot.

Otherwise, if you are listless, how can you continue filming?

"Today, I am the only producer of this film. We are a family."

"If you were replaced by another producer, seeing you behave like this, next time someone in the industry talks about you at a dinner party, not only will they laugh at you, but no one will want to film with you."

"You have to take care of it yourself."

"Before I filmed 'The Disciple', I visited all the drug rehabilitation centers in the capital and looked up information on the production and sale of drugs."

"I'm not going to brag to you. Just give me the tools and materials, and I can definitely do this business of getting shot myself."

When Zhu Yawen heard what he said, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

But I also recalled that I had watched the movie "The Disciples".

People on the internet say that Zhang Yuan doesn't look like an actor, and I see that too.

It turns out that I did so much homework in advance.

Upon hearing this, he was convinced.

That work is not created in vain, it really takes a lot of effort.

Seeing that his expression had eased a little, Zhang Yuan started to encourage him.

"Yawen, Xiaowenzi!"

"You learned this from Beijing Film Academy."

"Don't lose face!"

"Be more alert!"

After saying that, he slapped him hard on the back, almost knocking him out.

This slap made his blood surge and it seemed as if heat was running through his body.

My heart rate was messed up.

People immediately became energetic.

When the camera was turned on again, his whole body was hot, as if he was not so scared anymore.

Zhang Yuan took the photo from a lower position, and he had just been frightened by the height, so his adrenaline was pumping, so he naturally felt much better.

After this scene was finished, he looked at Zhang Yuan with a lot more respect.

Respect and fear.

What I respect is his professional ability, and the fact that he can even help me adjust with just a few words.

What he was afraid of was that what happened just now was so frightening that he couldn't even breathe.

He finally understood why others could become bosses at such a young age.

After the exterior shots were finished, they went to the interior shots. The so-called interior shots were actually booked at a foot massage parlor of a normal standard.

It's not as high-end as the one by Dapeng and Qiaoshan.

The dramatic conflict in the first half of the play takes place in the foot massage parlor.

On the way, when the crew was leaving on the bus, Zhu Yawen deliberately came close to him.

"what's up?"

Seeing his playful look, Zhang Yuan started to ask.

"Well, do you remember that there was another classmate in our class named Luo Jin?"

"That time you went to the graduation ceremony, and we talked about it."

"Of course I remember him. He was quite handsome." Zhang Yuan didn't quite understand why he mentioned this person.

"In fact, he asked me before, does our company still need people?"

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Zhang Yuan was delighted when he heard it.

It seems I can.

Now they are delivered to your door.

In fact, when Luo Jin mentioned this matter before, Zhu Yawen was indifferent.

Even classmates have their own little thoughts.

There aren't many resources to begin with, so if there's one more, won't there be enough to go around?

But after the lecture just now, he felt that if Luo Jin was interested in his company, he would not mention it.

If I deliberately kept it a secret and didn't tell Zhang Yuan.

If you are held accountable one day, you will never have a good life.

I was scolded for my weak performance during the filming.

If this gets known, I’ll be tied to a tree and beaten!
Zhang Yuan is relatively young, so most artists at most regard him as an actor who is more popular than themselves, and it is difficult for them to subconsciously realize that this person is the boss.

Zhu Yawen had the same mentality before.

But the "talk therapy" just now made his mind much clearer.

Zhang Yuan didn't know that his "slap" would bring him unexpected gains.

Anyway, whether it succeeds or not is Luo Jin and Zhang Yuan's business. Since I brought this up myself, at least nothing bad will happen to me.

"so."

"After we return to the capital, ask him out. We can have a meal together and get to know each other first."

"If we are both satisfied, we can talk about cooperation."

Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to recruit people.

It was indeed as Zhu Yawen thought, resources were limited.

You can't just bring someone home and leave him there doing nothing.

Along the way, I learned about Luo Jin's recent situation with Zhu Yawen, so that we can know each other well.

Come to the foot massage city.

The rest of the main cast of the show is here.

"Oh, Producer Zhang finally shows up?" Fan Bingbing said angrily, and when she saw him, she went up to him and hugged him.

"Brother Jiahui, long time no see!"

"Hey, I remember you!" Liang Jiahui stepped forward and shook hands with him.

When he went to Cannes with the crew of "Tianhong", Liang Jiahui also went with the crew of "Election".

The two met on the red carpet.

I didn't expect that my brother still remembered me.

He also greeted Kara Hui and Michelle Zeng, and then asked his assistant to bring a bunch of gifts.

All kinds of food, drinks and daily necessities are obtained from the brand owners.

After talking to everyone, Fan Bingbing pulled him aside.

"Look at me."

"What are you looking at?"

"Have I changed since before?" Fan Bingbing compared himself.

"Low weight?" Zhang Yuan blurted out.

"Go to hell!" Fan Bingbing rolled his eyes at him: "From your reaction, I can tell that you coax girls like this all the time."

"Have you cut your hair?"

"Get lost!" Fan Bingbing pointed to her cheek and said, "I've gained more than ten pounds!"

Hearing her say this, Zhang Yuan looked at her face carefully.

Even though he is more than ten pounds fatter, he still has a clear jawline.

"Did not see it."

"Because you're not thin anyway."

"You're trying to provoke me on purpose, aren't you?" Fan Bingbing hugged his shoulders and bared his teeth at him.

The character she plays is not like in "Cell Phone", where she is a reporter and hostess.

Because her character was a staff member at a foot massage parlor, she gained weight on purpose to fit the role.

This is why Zhang Yuan felt that Zhu Yawen was not well prepared.

When filming "Black Gold", Liang Jiahui wrote a 10-word character sketch for the role of Zhou Chaoxian and watched dozens of movies and documentaries about gangs and political cases in Taiwan.

Zhang Yuan has always felt that Leung Ka Fai is one of the strongest male actors in Hong Kong. In many aspects, especially his plasticity and versatility, he far surpasses Leung Chiu Wai, who is hailed as a god by the Hong Kong industry.

He is so amazing and has won all the awards he deserves, but he still has to do a lot of homework before filming.

The same goes for Fan Bingbing. She did more than just gain weight for this drama.

She even went to learn foot massage and found a foot massage parlor to live and eat with those girls.

Not only can you learn skills, but you can also experience life.

There will be a lot of details between imagination and real experience.

The difference in these details is the difference in the actors' level.

Although Fan Xiaopang is often called a "vase" and a "carpet star".

That depends on who you compare with.

Compared with Kara Hui, who is both literary and martial.

Gong Li is so domineering and delicate.

She really can't compare.

Talent issue.

But when it comes to work, this is not given for free.

She is definitely not the kind of actress in later generations who is like a delicate flower that cannot be carried on shoulders or lifted by hands.

"Are you really fat?" Zhang Yuan looked at her waist again.

She was wearing a costume, which was also the work clothes of a foot massage parlor. It didn't show her figure and it was hard to see clearly.

"How about I touch it?" Zhang Yuan raised his hand and gestured.

"Hehehe." But Teacher Fan was not shy at all and even puffed out her chest.

"Come on, since you, the producer, have such a request, then I, a little actor, can only cooperate."

"Where do you want to touch?"

"I..." Zhang Yuan wanted to pinch him, but there were many staff members nearby.

"What? Producer Zhang doesn't dare?" Fan Bingbing thought to himself, you and I are the only ones who don't understand each other.

I can only say that I pay attention to my image in front of outsiders and would never do anything reckless.

But what will happen in the future is uncertain...

"Okay, just kidding you."

"But you came at the right time." Fan Bingbing moved closer to him.

"what happened?"

"I'm going to be filming passionate scenes for the next few days."

"You didn't come here just for this, did you?" Fan Bingbing narrowed her eyes seductively.

Who is teasing whom between us... Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.

I thought to myself that this woman is indeed a demon and is much more difficult to deal with than an ordinary woman.

"Talk to the producer seriously!" he said in a pretentious tone.

"Okay, then I have to serve Producer Zhang." Fan Bingbing grabbed his arm and walked to the side room.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Yuan asked puzzledly.

"What is this place?"

"Footwashing city?"

"Everyone has come to the foot massage parlor..." Fan Bingbing turned around, threw him a coquettish look, and then spoke softly.

"Then I have to give you a good health care!" (End of this chapter)
