Actor: Thank you.

The most basic desires of modern humans are nothing more than money, power, talent and sex.

Most people who have no access to money or power will focus on talent and beauty.

In the middle of the night, I hid in the bed, holding my phone in one hand and watching short videos of the female anchor dancing with the beauty filter turned on.

Then post some second-hand and funny opinions in the barrage or comment section.

This is talent and beauty.

Hong Kong is a place of wealth and romance, so how could the two big bosses, Jiang Zhiqiang and Yang Shouchen, not understand human nature?

So when they asked Zhang Yuan to come today, they made many preparations.

The two plays, "The Warlords" and "Painted Skin", are the concrete manifestations of the words fame and fortune.

Not only can he appear in the film, but he is also promised a high salary.

Seeing that fame and fortune could not impress Zhang Yuan, he resorted to another trick.

Zhang Yuan watched as Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hand and winked at his assistant, who then left the room with a serious face.

His heart tightened.

"Will these two old guys hire someone to mess with me?"

Suddenly, several big men rushed in and tried to force me to lock up.

He thought that shouldn't be the case.

First of all, this is not Hong Kong, but the imperial capital.

Not on their land.

Secondly, this is a sensitive period, and using rough means on yourself is the most foolish behavior.

It is said that when two armies are at war, envoys will not be killed.

Because after killing the messenger, the relationship between them was completely broken.

Wait patiently for a moment and you will see the result.

As the saying goes, if you don't indulge in romance when you are young, you will live your youth in vain.

Zhang Yuan understood as soon as he saw the three people who were brought into the private room.

"If the money offensive doesn't work, use the pink bomb on me."

Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.

how to say……

Sisters, it’s not that you are not good enough, it’s that my requirements are a little too high!

The three people who came were quite tall.

Just average looks.

Not the fair-skinned and pretty type.

You can tell at first glance that he looks like a southerner.

It’s not the South like Jiangnan, but the real South like Guangdong and Hong Kong.

He has a slightly dark skin and is tall and thin.

It is different from the slender and fair style of Jiangnan women.

He hangs out with film crews all day long, and most of them are top-notch crews.

The female artists in the show are all high-class, so there are many beautiful and good-looking ones.

These three seemed a little ordinary.

She is dressed quite sexily, with black, white and flesh-colored stockings.

So he remained calm.

Jiang Zhiqiang saw this and spoke.

"You three, introduce yourselves."

"My name is Chen Yanwei."

"My name is Zhou Jiawei."

"My name is Lv Huiyi."

The three of them waved and greeted.

"Hello, Brother Yuan!"

"Yeah." Zhang Yuan just nodded slightly without saying much.

Only then did Jiang Zhiqiang continue to introduce.

"The three of them were the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of Miss Hong Kong last year."

Oh... Zhang Yuan understood now.

No wonder she looks so southern, turns out she is Miss Hong Kong.

He thought, isn't this the same routine as when I was in South Korea, when CJ used South Korean female artists to entertain him?

Ha ha.

Zhang Yuan thought.

The education I received since childhood does not support me doing such a thing.

You have got the wrong person!

And he said why these people looked so familiar.

Not just Miss Hong Kong.

The champion is called Aimee Chan, and she will be Chen Hao’s wife in the future.

The third place winner was named Lu Huiyi, and it seemed that she later found an artist to marry.

You can have fun when you are young, but when you get older you still have to return to your family. It is best for people in the circle to digest it themselves.

The key is the runner-up, Zhou Jiawei...

Zhang Yuan glanced at Hong Jinbao who was also at the table.

Zhang Yuan remembered that this woman later married the eldest son of the big brother, that is, Hong Tianming.

If I take it away in front of him to "taste" it, I wonder how happy his expression will be when my son brings his girlfriend home in the future.

Zhang Yuan felt disdainful.

The two big guys played this trick on me.

It might be useful for ordinary people.

After all, Miss Hong Kong is also a star, and ordinary people will always have a mysterious yearning for her.

Not to mention eating it, even smelling it can prolong your life... That's roughly what it means.

But in Zhang Yuan's opinion, this is "just packaging".

From a distance it looks like a gathering of heroes; from close up it looks like a group of carrots having a meeting.

From a distance it looks like aged Moutai, but up close it is Erguotou, which is mixed with boiled water.

Just rely on the star halo to attract people.

Without external support, it's actually just like that.

The fruit plate in the club can be bought for 188, but on the roadside it can only be sold for 18.

Increase your value through the platform.

Can Zhang Yuan fall for this beauty's rouge trick?
Then you can film the whole process and threaten me...

Liu Jialin was photographed back then, so it’s not like you can’t do this kind of thing.

Moreover……

Zhang Yuan glanced at Jiang Zhiqiang and Yang Shouchen.

Since these three can appear here, it is likely that you have "tasted" them so many times that you don't know how many times you have tasted them.

You invited me to dinner and asked me to pick up the leftovers to eat. Are you bullying a silly boy?

Zhang Yuan looked at Yang Shouchen and thought, why don’t you call TWINS over?

He looked at Jiang Zhiqiang again and asked, "Why don't you call Tang Wei over?"
It’s because these people are your own people and you can’t bear to let them go.

"These three admire you very much." Jiang Zhiqiang said.

“I like watching your movies.”

"So I specifically asked to meet you today."

"You can communicate privately later."

"It's private and safe here. We can prepare a room for you."

That's pretty nice to say.

Zhang Yuan replied generously.

"Three of them are Miss Hong Kong, so they are colleagues in the entertainment industry."

"Since it is a communication between peers, there is no need to be secretive. We can communicate here."

After hearing what he said, Nicholas Tse secretly gave him a thumbs up and gave him a lewd smile.

"We are just communicating here. Are you planning to play with them in public?"

"Is this for us to see?"

“That’s open enough!”

Zhang Yuan: …

He shook his head helplessly. Your ability to understand...

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t understand, he was just accompanying the guest.

The two hosts, Jiang Zhiqiang and Yang Shouchen, understood.

"So you're not interested?"

"Don't you want our sincerity?"

"Zhang Yuan, I have to emphasize this." Boss Jiang's expression turned slightly colder.

“Whether it’s The Warlords, Painted Skin or Mei Lanfang.”

"If you miss these conditions, you will miss them forever."

Zhang Yuan was not surprised at all.

He had long guessed that the other party would use these two films with Hong Kong backgrounds to blackmail him.

If you miss this opportunity, there will be no such store?

No, no.

Even if I don’t agree today, all these will still be mine!

Besides, I can't agree to it.

If I agree, that would be betrayal.

Can a guy like me with thick eyebrows and big eyes betray me?
They took a little profit, offended a large group of leaders, and abandoned the important mainland market.

In fact, under the same conditions, there are many people in the entertainment industry who are eager to work there.

It's just that those people aren't me.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang, thank you very much for inviting me to dinner today."

"But I am just a small person with limited abilities and I have no control over what I do."

"Sorry, sorry."

After saying that, he stood up to leave.

Nicholas Tse frowned and didn't dare to speak.

If it were me, how could I dare to refuse the request of the two big bosses?

But Zhang Yuan dared to do it without any hesitation!

"Zhang Yuan..."

At this moment, he had just stood up when Jiang Zhiqiang spoke slowly.

"As a senior, I would like to give you a piece of advice."

"Young people should not be too arrogant."

"If you're not angry, why call me a young man?" Zhang Yuan replied as he walked.

"Hey, Jiang Sheng, I just like young people with temper." Yang Shouchen replied with a smile.

"Tingfeng, send him off."

Zhang Yuan looked back.

Haha, you two are still playing the good cop and the bad cop role.

Master Xie accompanied him to the elevator, sent him to the underground garage, and then returned.

"He refuses to listen to anything." Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head helplessly.

"What should I do now?"

“It’s very troublesome now.”

"What he said makes sense. At this stage, he may not be able to change much." Yang Shouchen replied.

“But there’s always a breakthrough.”

"Tingfeng is back. What did you talk about when you saw him off?" asked Boss Yang.

"Nothing." Ting Feng replied nervously. "He just talked about my family and asked me to show him pictures of my kids."

"She also told me to take care of Bai Zhi's emotions and not to quarrel with her after she gave birth."

"You seem to care about you. It seems like you two have a good relationship."

"It's okay." Mr. Xie sat down carefully.

"Jinbao, what do you think?" Boss Yang asked Xiang Mobile again.

Hong Jinbao pursed his lips and thought about it.

"Who doesn't want money and women?"

"If you are not greedy for money or lustful, then there is only one possibility."

"What he wants is bigger than money and women!"

Hong Jinbao suppressed the admiration in his heart.

"I'm afraid this kid's ambition is bigger than what you see."

……

"I didn't pack any food." Zhang Yuan returned to the small courtyard.

"I passed by Jinshenglong on the way back and wanted to bring you some fried tripe."

"But that thing is just a rubber band when it gets cold, and it smells fishy."

"So I bought some barbecue and beer to bring back."

"It's wrapped in tin foil and it's still warm."

He walked into the yard, talking as he walked.

"You're planning to make me fat to death, right?" Cheng Hao complained with a smile.

The two opened the package, opened the beer, and started eating.

"I remember that a few years ago, I often had dinner here with Yu Qian and his wife."

"It's been a long time."

"Yes, I haven't had a drink with Brother Qian for a while. I'll find time to date him."

The two of them chatted while eating skewers.

At that time, Zhang Yuan was a small supporting actor who had just debuted.

Yu Qian is a crosstalk artist in the system who has just lost his job.

Now, he can earn tens of millions for a movie.

Brother Qian also headed straight towards the path of becoming the queen of crosstalk.

"It's so fast." Zhang Yuan sighed.

Seeing things reminds me of people and makes me sad about the passing of time.

"Zhang Yuan, there's something I haven't figured out." After a long while, Cheng Hao asked after tearing off a piece of roasted gluten with his teeth.

“This time it’s such a big fuss.”

"If the fight is finally over, both sides will give in and offer conditions."

"What if the people above you sell you out?"

It is not uncommon to kill the donkey after it has done its job.

Small people, like small countries, have no negotiating power.

Only the power to “come to the table”.

In the end, not only will we fight here, but we will also use you as a snack after the war.

But he was a little different this time.

Since he was the one who did the thing for the old master, the probability of the master selling him out was not high, but it was not impossible.

Because if he is sold, there will be no one to help him in the future.

Unless he really can't stand the pressure.

"It's possible, but the prerequisite is a draw, a close fight, or I lose."

"Then there is this possibility."

otherwise……

Don't think you're having fun now, one day you'll have to make a list.

They withheld my master tape and prevented me from showing my film or participating in awards.

All this is recorded in the little notebook.

"What if you lose?" The good sister frowned and asked, "How will you deal with it?"

I won’t lose... Zhang Yuan knows it.

Never fight an unprepared battle.

How could he possibly get into such a big trouble if he wasn't sure of winning?

He has a set of trump cards in his hand, but he can't play them easily.

And I can't tell Cheng Hao or anyone else.

So, he could only change his way of saying it.

"Then I can only gamble that I am on the side of justice."

Cheng Hao looked at her intently, staring into her eyes quietly.

After watching him for a long time, I'm a little tired of him.

"Why are you...looking at me like that?"

"Don't talk to me about those useless things." The good sister narrowed her eyes.

"You are so persistent this time, isn't it because of that vixen?"

Vixen... Zhang Yuan thought about it and realized that Fan Bingbing had actually played Su Daji.

"Just to help her, are you going to risk your life for the beauty you love?" Cheng Hao put his hands on his hips, extremely angry.

"Am I that kind of person?" Zhang Yuan quickly explained.

Why do you women think like this?
Although Fan Bingbing is quite fair.

"How would I know that?" Cheng Hao threw down the barbecue skewer and clapped his hands.

"You better not!"

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

"where are you going?"

"go home!"

"You're not staying overnight?"

"You and the vixen go ahead." He put on his bag, pushed the door open and left: "I'm very busy. I still have to take the entrance exams."

She is a master's student at the Central Academy of Drama.

"I..." Zhang Yuan didn't have time to shout.

"Is it really that big of a grudge against Fatty Fan?"

Looking at the empty yard.

I just rejected the seduction from Boss Jiang, thinking I could let go when I get home.

Now that Cheng Hao has left, won’t my grilled lamb kidneys and grilled oysters be wasted?
So should I eat it or not?

It would be a pity to throw it away.

I got irritated after eating it.

Just as he was hesitating, a phone call came in.

"Zhang Yuan, did you miss me?"

After Zhang Yuan picked up the phone, he heard a naughty female voice and then held it in front of him to confirm the caller.

"Sister Tao, what's the matter?"

The person who called him was Liu Tao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"I'm getting married, let me inform you!" he said happily.

"So sudden?"

"Do you know what flash marriage is? It's popular nowadays." She said with a little pride.

Come on... Zhang Yuan is just pretending.

She knew in her heart that she had met the fake rich man, Wang Ke, who was known as one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing.

You are so unlucky.

We got married after knowing each other for a month.

I thought I could become a rich wife and have a secure rest of my life.

As a result, less than a year after marriage, she went from being a rich wife to a poor wife.

I have paid off half of my life’s debt.

And every time she paid off her debt, this "Four Young Masters of Beijing" would immediately add new debt to her.

Endless life.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhang Yuan still gave a limited reminder.

"That's how I am. As long as we like each other, it's fine. I don't care how long it takes."

That's right, you and Hu Jun fell in love with each other instantly.

"Well, congratulations."

"That's it?" Liu Tao said dissatisfiedly, "You didn't even ask me when the ceremony will be held?"

"Don't you know about my recent situation?"

"It's inappropriate to be so close to you when attending the event, right?" Zhang Yuan teased.

"It's okay. I plan to retire from the entertainment industry after I get married and stop being involved in the entertainment industry."

"No matter what your situation is, we are still friends. It has nothing to do with what happens outside."

Obviously she knew she was in the spotlight recently, but she didn't care.

Zhang Yuan thought that there are still good people in this world.

Just based on what you said now, I will help you if you are in trouble in the future.

"Okay, then when are you going to hold your engagement and wedding banquets? I'll come and join in the fun."

"I guarantee you'll get a big red envelope."

"That's more like it." Sister Tao gave her signature laugh.

"Let's not talk about the banquet first. Are you free recently?"

"what's up?"

"I want to come and play with you."

Zhang Yuan: …

"When you say play, do you mean serious play?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Tao laughed even louder: "Just the way we played before."

That's a serious but not serious play.

"You're about to get married. It's not appropriate."

"Let's just let the past go, okay?"

I emphasize this again.

The education I received since childhood does not support me doing such a thing.

You've got the wrong person.

"I don't associate with married women."

"Oh, oh, oh, I didn't expect you to be so serious." Liu Tao laughed: "But I'm not a married woman now, right?"

"I haven't received my certificate yet."

Zhang Yuan: …

Am I discussing this kind of detail with you?

"Whether you got it or not, you have a fiancé too."

"Forgive me for refusing."

"Oh..." The man made a funny inflection.

"That is to say, you are a man of principle."

"Correct."

“He’s a man with a bottom line.”

"Yes."

"Okay, then if I bring Zi Han with me, can you change your principles?"

Zhang Yuan:!!!
Look at the grilled lamb loin and grilled oysters on the small table.

It seems that I have to eat this meal... (End of this chapter)
