Actor: Thank you.

On the set, inside a refrigerated truck sponsored by Shaanxi Automobile.

"Hiss...ha!"

Zhang Yuan, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was shivering from the cold.

Ning Hao was serious with him.

The quick-freezing function of the refrigerated truck was turned on, and then he was hung inside the car.

"I say, Haozi, when shooting indoor scenes like this, you shouldn't set up a separate set."

“Although the script calls for a refrigerated cargo compartment, there is no need to actually shoot in the cargo compartment.”

"Give me this big snot frozen..."

The assistant was holding a pack of 100 tissues and helping to watch.

Have to wipe him from time to time.

Around the set, there were piles of paper towels wrapped around the sticky liquid produced by Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Tianai, who was standing aside watching the show, squeezed her legs together.

"It's such a hassle to set up the scenery."

"It would be better if we just come directly." Ning Hao said indifferently: "It would save trouble."

You are saving trouble, but can the actors bear it?

Anyway, Ning Hao's play is indeed a bit demanding on the actors.

"Okay, I won't bother with you. I'll be leaving after filming this scene anyway."

"I caught a cold before I left. How wicked!"

This is his last scene.

Both he and the character will be "finished".

Next, the crew will use his wax figure to play the corpse.

The postgraduate entrance examination duo targeted the drug dealer Thai guy Li Farah and tied him up in the cargo box of the truck.

They had cheated this truck from Geng Hao, who had to make a living by delivering seafood after being banned from the game.

These two thugs, who always talk about "professionalism" and "love what you do", need a truck in order to create an accident and fake a traffic accident.

But he didn't buy it, but insisted on doing a business with no capital and cheating Geng Hao.

One of them pretended to buy a car and gave Geng Hao a can of beer as a celebration.

Another person pretended to be a policeman and stopped cars to test for drunk driving so that he could "confiscate" the vehicles for his own use.

Moreover, these two who claim to be "professionals" used a ping-pong paddle as the "lollipop" pole they used to stop cars, and the alcohol tester was disguised as an electronic timer.

Even with such small details, Ning Hao highlighted the sense of humor and at the same time strengthened the unprofessional images of these two people, laying the groundwork for various coincidences that followed.

Ning Hao is now at the peak of his creative career and is really strong!

Especially after the release of "Crazy Racing", he was hailed as the first of the sixth generation of Chinese directors.

Of course, many people in the industry are not convinced by this statement.

Especially those who are as famous as him.

Six generations of directors, including Lu Chuan, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Guan Hu...

Among these few people, each of them is top-notch. Which one of them doesn’t have some “problems”?
Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, and Jia Zhangke all love to make "banned films", and Guan Hu and Lu Chuan, two children from rich courtyards, also have problems with their stances.

These directors had just experienced the reform and opening up in their youth and had opened their eyes to the world. However, due to the huge gap between China and the West at that time, they had already been stamped with the idea that the West was invincible and that they worshipped and even bowed down to it.

Particularly willing to curry favor with Western media review bodies.

This is the characteristic of the times.

By the seventh generation of directors, these problems had disappeared, but they were turning completely to commercialization.

Wang Xiaoshuai from the sixth generation also publicly stated that there is no seventh generation of directors in China.

Then Lu Chuan said that he was the seventh generation.

It seems like you two are singing the same tune, setting the rules and taking up space, without any respect left at all.

Wen Muye, Guo Fan, these guys, which one of them is not better than you.

Besides, even if these people are put together, they can’t make as much money as Ning Hao alone.

From a business perspective, he is the number one in the sixth generation.

The fifth generation of directors, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Shishi, have achieved international fame, and the seventh generation is particularly good at making money.

In fact, the sixth generation of Chinese directors are the weakest ones.

In the later market, the fifth and seventh generations have been active, while the sixth generation directors have mostly disappeared.

After shooting six or seven times in a row, Ning Hao's loud "cut" echoed around the set.

Zhang Yuan's several weeks of filming on the set of "Crazy Racing" officially ended.

bang, bang, bang...

The crew also specially prepared several hand-pulled firecrackers, which were set off when he returned to the camera.

"You scared me." Zhang Yuan smiled and hugged Huang Bo and Wang Xun.

"Look, it's not easy to see you once."

"You've only been here for a short time and you have to leave." Wang Xun said with some regret.

This senior brother of mine...his master Yang Ziyang was Hou Baolin's disciple.

He is the typical natural B-lister.

It's a person like Ng Mang-tat.

He is definitely not capable of taking on the leading role, but he is very capable as a supporting player.

Huang Bo, like Stephen Chow, is a natural A-lister.

This is what they mean: everyone has his own destiny, and wealth and honor are determined by God.

Ning Hao asked the crew to finish work and took him out for a drink to say farewell.

During the meal, he led everyone to toast him several times.

Not just because he is an investor.

After Zhang Yuan came to the crew, he did the work of an actor but had the heart of a producer.

From the venue to the sponsorship, he was in charge of everything.

"It would be better if you stayed a few more days." Ning Hao's cheeks turned red from drinking.

"I have other things to do. Painted Skin is about to open, and I have to hurry over there."

"You're so busy." Brother Bo took a sip of white wine and said, "I wish I could be like you someday."

"almost."

Zhang Yuan told the truth.

You will be busy in the future.

After eating and drinking, go back to the hotel to rest.

"Boss, are you leaving tomorrow?" Xiao Ai asked behind him before entering the house.

"Well, what happened?"

"Well...are you satisfied with my recent performance?" she asked cautiously.

"Satisfied."

"If you are satisfied, then why do you always keep your distance from me?"

It’s because you always want to keep your distance from me... Zhang Yuan scratched his head.

Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for employees to want to improve themselves too much.

Just like Zhang Tianai, she would rather pout than stand next to Zhang Yuan.

Seeing her expectant look, Zhang Yuan thought, since the filming has been completed, let's celebrate.

That night, he slept soundly after distributing hundreds of millions of dollars in employee benefits.

At the same time, there are also people who can't sleep.

International Dan is in his luxury home in Hong Kong. This famous actor is so depressed that he can't sleep.

He realized that he had been playing with eagles all his life, but this time he might have been pecked in the eye by a bird.

He already knew about the two scripts of "Wulin Zhengzhuan".

This old man was completely confused.

"In other words, as long as I finish recording well, everything will be fine."

He, like Uncle Long and the others, just reacted now.

Just a few hours.

The time difference of a few hours had extremely serious consequences.

Zhang Yuan gave him the chance.

If I wasn't sure that he was a big shot and had a bad temper, how would I have fallen into his trap?

If he had been a little more polite, this part would have been passed.

"This mainland guy must be because of the movie Painted Skin."

"I want to steal the show from you!"

This man’s third wife, Wang Shishi, said angrily.

His first wife was not from the entertainment industry and gave birth to a son named Zhen Wenzhuo... the same Wenzhuo as Zhao Wenzhuo.

These two are destined to conflict with each other.

After the divorce, Guoji Dan ignored his eldest son and was criticized by his ex-wife and many media outlets.

The second one was Gigi Wong… the one who married Chen Shisan, the long-legged goddess Gigi Wong from My Date with a Vampire. Zhen Zidan once proposed to her in public, but it didn’t work out in the end.

The more problematic thing is that, judging from the timeline, when he was with Gigi Lai, he might not have divorced his first wife yet.

This brings us to the issue of cheating and mistresses.

Anyway, the third one is this former model.

As we all know, models usually have bad brains and bad tempers.

As the saying goes, a husband with a virtuous wife will not suffer misfortune.

Xiao Yueyue is a typical representative.

He also passed by when he first became famous in later generations.

I want to replace Teacher Gao Feng and perform the finale.

As a result, my wife slapped me hard in the face.

Just this one slap made him calm down, recognize himself, and no longer have the same thoughts and conflicts as his previous senior and junior brothers.

When you are going crazy, it is very important to have someone to hold you back and stop you from drifting away.

This person is your benefactor.

After Xiao Shenyang became famous, he also became arrogant, and it was all because of his master Zhao Benshan who controlled and suppressed him.

At first Shenyang thought that his master was not treating him well, but later he realized that this was the real way to treat him well.

Because Zhao Benshan has seen and experienced too many such things, he understands it very well.

But now the situation of International Dan is just the opposite.

If he were Ma Guocheng, his wife would be the onlookers.

"You've been in the industry for so many years, and you can still be bullied by a mainlander?"

"How are we going to behave in the future?"

"We must not let this bad guy go!"

Her wife didn't seem to be very smart to begin with, and she was about to give birth recently. Because of the pregnancy hormone, her temper became even worse.

If Guoji Dan could calm down and think carefully like Uncle Long and Lao Li, he would find that there was something fishy about this matter.

But people, especially men, tend to make mistakes when they encounter things related to face.

At this moment, the emotions were also aroused.

He took Zhang Yuan’s notice and warning as a threat.

And made the next wrong choice.

……

A week later.

"Isn't Brother Bullet here?"

In Hengdian World Studios, inside the office rented by the crew of "Painted Skin".

The main actors are reading the script together.

Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Sun Li, and even Wu Jing, who was pulled into the group by Zhang Yuan, were all there.

Of course Zhang Yuan himself was there too.

When Brother Xun saw that the leading male actor didn't come, he felt strange and asked about it.

"Zhen Zidan asked for leave, saying that his wife was going to give birth and he wanted to accompany her." Producer Pang Hong no longer called him "Zhen Zidan" or "Brother Dan" as before, but called him by his name.

Obviously very dissatisfied.

"Oh, he changed his style?" Zhang Yuan looked at the script with his eyes and moved his mouth slightly.

"I remember when his eldest son was born, he didn't spend a single day with him, and it was even reported by the Hong Kong media."

"It seems that people can change."

Zhao Wei glanced sideways.

This old woman was very smart. As soon as she heard what he said, she knew that there must be something going on between Zhang Yuan and Zhen Zidan.

"Accompanying my wife shouldn't affect my work." Yan Zi said this after thinking for a while.

These words were obviously directed at Zhang Yuan.

After almost being fired, she knew better than Zhen Zidan who was the boss of the crew.

"Jing, what do you think?" Zhang Yuan looked up at Wu Jing.

Wu looked around in shock and rolled his eyes.

"I've disliked him for a long time!"

My ribs still hurt a little bit... He knew Zhang Yuan asked him to express his opinion again.

What's there to say? Of course I support you as a brother.

And he suddenly remembered that when he was waiting on the red carpet at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Zhang Yuan had asked him who he was helping.

Did he know that this situation would happen?

Zhang Yuan must know!
Because in his previous life, when Zhen Zidan was filming "Painted Skin", he always used his wife as an excuse not to come to the crew.

In fact, I just think there are not enough roles.

But no matter how many scenes you have, you still have to abide by professional ethics. Otherwise, are there any rules in this crew?

"This is indeed not a good idea. We need to get used to each other before filming." Sun Li said softly.

Congratulations, you can answer the questions quickly... Zhang Yuan gave this smart guy an admiring look.

"Xun, what do you think?"

Brother Xun's intelligence is like Zhang Yuan's cell phone after Liu Qianqian dragged him into a chat until midnight, and he often owes money on the bill.

"Leaving work to be with his wife shows that he loves his wife very much." Zhou Xun said with an admiring look.

Zhang Yuan sighed.

With your symptoms, just drink more water, eat more vegetables, smoke less, go to bed early, keep exercising, take good care of your body, and prepare to play in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" in the future.

This intelligence...

No wonder when the Wang brothers asked her to choose between shares or cash, she resolutely chose cash.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone is busy and has their own things to do."

"With such a large crew, we can actually do without anyone."

"The earth can still rotate without anyone." Zhang Yuan looked at director Chen Jiashang happily.

Director Chen cleared his throat and sat up straight.

He always felt that there was a hint of murderous intent in Zhang Yuan's words.

A day later, in the morning.

"Good luck with the boot!"

The crew of "Painted Skin" held a grand opening ceremony at the Ming and Qing Palace Studios in Hengdian.

In the original work of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling, the specific time when the story of Painted Skin took place was not specified.

So Chen Jiashang also used the blurring technique.

It is roughly the period after the Qin and Han Dynasties and before the Song Dynasty.

A bit tangy, but not too tangy.

Doing so not only makes the work fit with the theme of fantasy and monsters, but it can also avoid a lot of trouble and prevent those pedants from saying that this is wrong or that is not in line with history.

After burning incense, everyone shouted slogans and took photos.

Ning Film Studio had high expectations for this film, so they invited many media to interview at the opening ceremony.

And let the leading actors put on costumes to show their looks.

Just like the script reading a few days ago, Zhen Zidan still did not appear.

The reason was to take care of his wife who was about to give birth.

In fact, he showed an attitude that it was either him or me, and that I had to change the script to get back my face.

"I gave you a chance."

"But you didn't seize the opportunity." Zhang Yuan looked at the vacant position and said secretly in his heart.

"Excuse me, Director Chen, I heard that Zhen Zidan joined the crew of Painted Skin, why didn't I see him when the filming started today?"

Soon, a reporter also discovered this situation and raised it during an interview.

"Well... the actors' schedules are very busy and need to be adjusted," he said vaguely.

He still wanted to help fellow Hong Konger, Guoji Dan.

"Is Mr. Zhen Zidan involved in the project? Has he quit the show?"

"Will he really show up?"

Once the weakness was discovered, the reporters attacked the breakthrough point like piranhas smelling blood.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan hid in his dressing room after being interviewed and showing off his look.

He took out his cell phone and called Yang Siwei.

"Almost ready, get ready to open the gates and release the water."

"Ok."

This woman is very talented in manipulating public opinion, especially online public opinion.

Zhang Yuan then handed the next step of the work over to her.

Soon, news about Zhen Zidan's big shot behavior began to spread like mushrooms after rain on the Internet platform... (End of this chapter)
