Actor: Thank you.

An accidental encounter is not scary. Whoever feels guilty will be embarrassed.

Now, at the main entrance of Zhang's house in Fuxiang Hutong, Xicheng District, the imperial capital, a vivid drama of a turtle watching a mung bean is being played out.

Chen Kun and Zhao Wei fell in love with each other!
Among the three musketeers of Beijing Film Academy, two were standing at the door of Zhang Yuan’s house.

But these two swordsmen, oh no, swordsmen, obviously no longer call each other brothers as usual, and have a tacit understanding that they don’t ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but just hope that everyone will not die.

The level of embarrassment at this moment is no less than being caught in bed with someone.

Zhao Yanzi even recalled how she felt when the "military flag dress" incident happened.

That time, it was her "best friend" Zou Xue who teamed up with outsiders to cheat her.

Because artists, especially female artists, cannot do without the care of the fashion industry.

This is why so many female stars would take the initiative to gather around Su Mang.

The same thing happened to Zhao Wei back then, except that she was a rookie and was tricked by others.

This is what is called "a dam that is higher than the shore will be destroyed by the waves, and a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

The more famous you are, the more careful you have to be, especially with the people around you.

Now it's over, and their reactions are exactly the same.

The first stage.

Oh shit, why is he/she here!

second stage.

That’s it, he/she saw me coming to Zhang Yuan’s house.

The third phase.

Oh, no, why did he/she come here?
Stage 4.

Damn, my best friend wouldn’t sell me out, would he?
Stage 5.

Silence is Cambridge tonight...

The two of them didn't move, and neither of them took the first step.

"Kun, what's wrong?"

Li Xiaowan also got out of the car and then saw Zhao Yanzi.

The old hand understood it immediately after thinking about it.

"Wei, hello, what a coincidence that you old friends are getting together today."

"Yes...what a coincidence." Although Zhao Wei has a black heart, he is still very good at putting on a show.

"what?"

"What a coincidence?"

At this moment, another person got out of Chen Kun's car.

As she got off the car, the woman in a white round-neck T-shirt was panting, and her chest rose and fell, glowing white in the sunlight.

After getting off the car, Dabai looked at his good friend Chen Kun with a smile.

"How can you not be happy to see your friends?"

Chen Kun: …

With your IQ, you can only be used as a sex mat for Zhang Yuan... Li Xiaowan wanted to cover his face, but held back.

Dabai is white to begin with, and it makes Chen Kun's dark face look even darker.

"Now that we are here, let's make the best of it. Let's not wait at the door."

"Let's go in first and talk later."

"Look at Zhang Yuan, he invited us here by chance. What plans do you have?" Li Xiaowan gestured for him to come in.

Zhao Yanzi was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

"He is an old hand after all!"

Li Xiaowan said it all.

Most of the coincidences in the world are unintentional.

The point is not being clever, but someone letting them be clever.

Zhao Yanzi had also eaten and seen it before. Although it was her first time here, she had been to many other courtyards.

Because many large courtyards in the imperial capital were used as clubs by rich children or "Eight Banners descendants".

When she went to that kind of place, it was natural for her to accompany guests in exchange for resources.

But it was an eye-opener.

When I saw that Zhang Yuan's family was not from the "Guangliang family", I thought that no matter how well this little brother did, he was still my junior, so he was still lacking in this point.

I feel more confident.

What is "Guangliang Gate"?

This is the style of gate used by officials in ancient times.

Except for the royal palace, this is the highest level gate.

An ordinary door, like the one at Zhang Yuan's house, is just a door.

No matter how large the double or triple door is, it is flush with the exterior wall.

The "Guangliang Gate" has depth, a bit like a smaller version of a city gate.

It is like opening a vermilion lacquered door in the middle of an eaves corridor.

There will also be plaques, beams, pillars, stone lions and other things on the sides and front.

It can be understood as a room that runs from front to back, with a door installed in the middle.

This whole set is the front door of a wealthy family.

Just say it's very particular.

The face of the door, the face of the door, the front door is the face. Not only the ancient people paid attention to this, but modern officials and businessmen also pay attention to this.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door, and the aunt came to greet me.

You guys go inside now.

As I walked and took a look, I was stunned by the scene before me.

It is magnificent and full of content.

The entire huge yard is full of people!

And they are not ordinary people.

Zhao Yanzi and Li Xiaowan took a quick look.

Just by taking a quick glance, half of the people I saw were well-known figures in the circle.

"Han Sanpin."

"Yang Buting is here too."

Li Xiaowan took a look and found that the people in charge of China Film Group and China Film Corporation, the two companies that hold the power over film distribution and import across the Straits, were all here, either explicitly or implicitly.

"Wang Zhonglei is here too?"

"Doesn't he have a conflict with Zhang Yuan?"

Not to mention the actors, all three generations, old, middle-aged and young, all the well-known ones are there.

"Teacher Ma..." Zhao Yanzi saw someone and took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Oh, you're here too?" Mr. Ma Jingwu replied happily, "Kun is here too."

"Now our three musketeers of Beijing Film Academy are complete."

Teacher Ma had previously met Zhang Yuan on the set of "Night Banquet".

I always wanted to take him to Beijing Film Academy for further studies, so I invited him here today. When Zhang Yuan personally received him, the old man was still muttering to himself.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, what should I do at Beijing Film Academy?
When Cheng Hao graduates from graduate school, if I want to pursue further studies, I can just take the class of this good teacher...

Mr. Ma raised his hand and pointed, and Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun realized that Huang Xiaoming was also there.

Came here with Xiao Wang.

When Chen Kun saw Xiao Ming, he felt a little jealous.

When he debuted, Xiao Ming was far inferior to himself and Zhao Wei.

But now that he has Hua Yi's support, he is almost ahead of himself in the film industry.

After the three of them greeted each other, Huang Xiaoming was still complaining foolishly.

"You two came together without telling me."

"I knew we were on the same path."

Did we want to come together?

Zhao Yanzi sighed helplessly.

The confidence and sense of superiority that I had just felt because this house was not the "Guangliang Gate" disappeared completely after seeing this crowded scene.

Her sense of superiority was false.

I have been to a house with a "wide beam gate", but it is not yours.

Just like having slept with a big shot, it doesn't mean that your thing is inlaid with gold and blessed... Come to think of it, it seems that she was really blessed by a "Master Wang".

The courtyard is full of stars, and no other award ceremony can gather so many famous artists.

"Director Chen." Zhao Yanzi also saw Chen Jiashang, the director of "Painted Skin".

"Ah, why are you here... No, you are here too." Director Chen was chatting with several colleagues from Hong Kong.

I felt a little embarrassed when I saw Zhao Wei.

Director Chen heard about Zhang Yuan and the other two, but this tactful cat remained silent.

Even more screwed!
Zhao Weixin said that the directors of the film were all attending the party at his house, and they were obviously on his side.

I thought Zhang Yuan was amazing.

He had been plotting against me since I was on my way here.

All of this was Zhang Yuan's small "greeting gift" to her and Chen Kun.

"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Chen, Miss Li." Zhao Xinxin walked up to the group with brisk steps.

"Brother Zhang Yuan has been waiting for you."

"I've been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

"Dandan." Dabai raised his hand to greet.

"Ah, Sister Xiaoran..." The assistant thought about it and realized that she didn't seem to be among the people Zhang Yuan asked him to pick up.

"I'll go with you." Li Xiaoran said happily.

"Um...okay."

Then he led her and everyone else to the most secluded small reception room in the backyard.

"Dandan, what's wrong with your arm?"

The two had met many times. When Li Dabai saw the long, thin red wounds on his assistant's arm, he expressed his concern.

"It was scratched by a cat." Everyone came to the room and stepped in.

"Why is it so dark?" several people thought to themselves after entering.

"Hello, everyone."

Inside the room, the curtains were drawn tightly.

Only a dim chandelier was on.

Coupled with the low voice of Zhang Yuan, who was sitting behind his desk deep in the room, with his whole body mostly buried in the shadows, the atmosphere became even more solemn.

They saw Zhang Yuan slowly turn around.

He was wearing a black suit, with a neatly slicked-back hair, droopy mouth and deep eyes.

He was holding a tabby cat in his arms.

Zhao Yanzi took a look and asked, "Are you COSing the Godfather here?"
"Please sit down." Zhang Yuan's voice was short and powerful.

Everything that the two groups of people experienced outside just now was carefully prepared by him.

Things have to start from the beginning.

"Hello, Mr. Huo, what can I do for you?"

It was rare for the eldest son of the Huo family to call him.

Zhang Yuan thought there was some charity event that wanted him to participate in.
As a result, the eldest young master spoke slowly in a somewhat depressed and helpless tone.

This person speaks slowly.

"Someone found me through connections and said that you and Zhao Wei have a conflict."

Zhang Yuan:!!!
I rub!

This woman can!

If you use your connections, you can even get to the Huo family.

The eldest son of the Huo family is helpless here.

Such a small matter actually led him here.

The key point is that the other party is an official figure, so it is not easy to ignore him.

And he is from the Pearl River Delta in the south.

It is better to let the county magistrate take charge now. No matter his rank, it is not easy to offend him anyway.

“No wonder they were able to stir up trouble later and even got involved with the Alibaba Group.”

After listening to the words of the eldest son of the Huo family, Zhang Yuan thought of the actions of this couple in later generations.

During Huang and Zhao's peak period, they were the second largest shareholders of Alibaba Pictures.

All I can say is that we are birds of a feather.

"Zhang Yuan, my grandfather said so."

"The most important thing in life is to know how to make choices."

“Only by giving up can you gain more.”

This is a call to me... Zhang Yuanlian said he understood.

Mr. Huo is a man of character who has taken the word "willing to give up" to the extreme, otherwise he would not have such a high status in the business world.

Zhang Yuan also asked the eldest son of the Huo family whether he was interested in participating in his cooperation with the Hong Kong circle.

This means that I have no interest in and will not get involved in entertainment industry affairs.

He wanted to pursue a political career and didn't want to get personally involved.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuan pondered over what the other party had said.

"There is gain only when there is sacrifice."

“It’s about making me understand the important points.”

Indeed, he had just reached a cooperation with the Hong Kong circle.

The people behind Lao Yanzi's sphere of influence happens to be near the Pearl River Delta.

If you confront it head-on, it may be disadvantageous to you.

If you ruin the opportunity to unite with the Hong Kong circle after such a big move because of a momentary impulse, it will be a waste of time.

If you make enemies, although the other party will eventually "collapse", he will still have ten years of glory.

It must be very uncomfortable if you keep messing with me for the past ten years or so.

The so-called giving up means that you have to take a step back when it is time to do so.

Turn big things into small things and turn enemies into friends.

"Well, sure."

"I'm not an unreasonable person."

"I can forgive you for claiming that you would stand together with Chen Kun and wanted to take my place."

"But I still need to teach you to distinguish between the big and small kings."

"After all, we still have to film together."

That’s why the previous incident happened.

After receiving calls from both parties, he specially arranged for them to arrive at the same time.

Let me first let you know what “the heart is hidden” means.

You did this yourself.

They said they wanted to work with me on the surface, but they contacted me privately to meet me.

I'll play a little trick first to make you fight among yourselves.

By the way, let me rub some of your enthusiasm for coming here!

The second step is to let them in.

Today is the day for a "celebration banquet".

Zhang Yuan chose this day specifically to meet them and did not tell them that so many people would come today.

It’s just to give you a little “network shock”.

Let me put some pressure on your confidence.

The spirit is gone and the confidence is crushed.

I'll start talking now and get twice the result with half the effort.

The most domineering negotiating figure he could imagine was the old Godfather in "The Godfather".

So we changed to the same style as Marlon Brando, and even the layout of the small reception room was specially adjusted.

He even asked his assistant to catch a cat.

I wanted a solid black cat.

But the black cats in the alley were too cautious, and the tabby cat was greedy and was caught red-handed.

I just have a bad temper.

The curtains in the room were drawn and only a dim light was on.

It is indeed for the deep and solemn classic scene of COS Godfather.

The reason why "The Godfather" is a classic is not only due to the perfect coordination of director Coppola, but also the contribution of photographer Gordon Willis.

This is the winner of the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.

In North America, he is nicknamed "The Master in the Shadows".

In China, he is nicknamed "Master Yideng" by movie fans.

Because the old man is famous for his preference for less lighting, sometimes using only one beam of light for a scene, and no fill light at all.

There should only be light on the leading actor in the shot, and even half of his face should be in shadow.

This creates a dim texture similar to Rembrandt's oil paintings, with a sense of epic and story.

So the movie "The Godfather" is always pitch black. It's not because the film equipment was not up to standard at the time, but it was done on purpose.

This is exactly the solemn and depressing atmosphere Zhang Yuan wanted.

It would be beneficial to oneself to make these two groups of visitors feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

At the same time, there is another reason to make the room so dark.

He was scratched by the cat too!
There was a long red cut on the chin.

The Cats Team made a big mistake!

I have never been scratched by a woman.

I asked the makeup artist to touch up my makeup, but it's still visible in bright lighting.

I prepared so much in advance, it’s so good.

As a result, when people came and saw my clown face, they laughed out loud.

Then it will all be in vain!

So he didn't plan to leave the house before dark.

Everything is ready, and now we plan to start the "talk therapy".

But what he didn't expect was that the appearance of a female voice at this time almost broke his defense.

"Hey, is this kitten the one that Dandan scratched?" Dabai looked up and stood up.

Zhang Yuan: …

Who the hell brought it to her!
Zhang Yuan gave others a surprise by letting Zhao Wei and Chen Kun, two fellow villagers, meet each other. While shooting him in the back, others also gave him a "surprise".

He didn't know that Dabai was here too.

"Fuck!"

Today is the "celebration banquet".

What are you celebrating?

There has to be a reason.

So on the surface, it was an early celebration for the "Apple" crew.

Since it is a celebration for "Apple", Fan Bingbing, as the heroine, must come.

Cheng Hao knew she was coming and started picking out clothes a day in advance.

Finally, he changed into a fiery red "battle robe".

The two of them are now "fighting" in the living room outside.

Zhang Yuan just managed to avoid it by using the excuse of talking about business.

When their eyes met, sparks flew, as if welding was going on.

I have to avoid both women, and you guys still, still, still bring me another one?

Zhang Yuan touched the wound on his chin caused by the cat scratch.

I hope the three women won't tickle me together soon... (End of this chapter)
