Actor: Thank you.

As we all know, Zhang Yuan is a man who does not bear grudges.

This matter is known to everyone in the industry.

So in the face of poet Chen's slander, Zhang Yuan just silently added an asterisk after the other person's name in the little notebook in his heart.

When you collect five stars, you will become a limited five-star character.

The kind that costs money to smoke.

Now it depends on how good he is at looking for a "pick".

Other than that, he didn't do much.

The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle.

Let heroes fight against heroes, and good men against good men.

Just let the "three sages" engage in friendly communication among themselves.

"Red Cliff", "Mei Lanfang", "If You Are the One".

These three plays are the masterpieces of the three forces.

Poet Chen wants to restore his reputation with "Mei Lanfang".

Orange Sky has just swallowed up more than 24% of Golden Harvest's shares and is in close consultation with the chairman of Golden Harvest to arrange subsequent acquisition matters.

It wants to go public through a backdoor listing and become the first Chinese film and television stock.

"Red Cliff" was very important to Orange Sky's funding and reputation.

Similarly, Huayi is also seeking to go public, hoping to compete with Chengtian for the top spot.

"If You Are the One" is also their big show. In addition to face, money is also important.

Chengtian and Huayi are competing for the first share.

In fact, the two were launched less than three months apart.

However, Chengtian was a little early, but Huayi has always refused to recognize it, saying that backdoor listing does not count.

Moreover, Orange Sky is listed on the Hong Kong stock market, while Huayi is listed on the A-share Growth Enterprise Market.

In addition, Chengtian once accepted Sister Hua after Huayi got into trouble.

In short, it is impossible for these two families to give in to each other and they can only fight each other.

Poet Chen is also arrogant and self-centered, never considering others.

These three together...

"Auntie."

Zhang Yuan called her the eldest sister at home.

"what's up?"

"When you go out to buy groceries tomorrow, bring back some melon seeds."

"okay."

Zhang Yuan waited and ate melon seeds while watching these companies fight to the death.

You people in the imperial circle usually use your connections to exclude people from other places.

Now that we happen to be together, it depends on how you use those tricks you used in the past on “your own people”.

Not long after, these companies received news that Zhang Yuan found Lao Han and asked "The Dragon and the Phoenix" to withdraw from the Spring Festival schedule.

No one is stupid.

After a quick calculation and looking at the screening information provided by the superiors, I understood everything.

Feng Xiaogang, who found Xiao Wang, was the first to be dumbfounded.

"Fuck you!"

"Is there any more royal law?"

"Are there still laws?"

Feng Dapao, as always, just opens his mouth and sprays.

Feng Xiaogang is the director who pioneered the Lunar New Year movie season in mainland China.

Originally, his films were usually released during the New Year's Eve period.

But this year, seeing that both "Red Cliff" and "Mei Lanfang" were scheduled for the New Year's Eve, he specifically told the two Wang brothers to release them during the Spring Festival.

Because after looking at the Spring Festival movie schedule, "Dragon and Phoenix" is just a "soft persimmon".

There is also a Hollywood movie called "Bridge to Terabithia".

The male lead was the leading actor in "The Hunger Games".

However, this movie was shown in North America in 07. It cost 1700 million US dollars and the box office was nearly 9000 million US dollars, which is considered pretty good.

This time we finally introduced it to China, hoping to create more surplus value.

However, the film is generally aimed at children, so Director Feng didn't take it seriously.

As a result, the weak one has escaped and the tough one has caught up with me!
This is called overdoing it!
It would have been fine if I didn't move, but as soon as I moved, it got stuck at the waist and I couldn't move forward or backward.

Change the schedule at this time?

It definitely won't work to change it later. It will only get better after the Spring Festival and around May Day, which is too late.

Change forward?

Doesn’t that mean that I, Feng Xiaogang, am afraid of Chen Kaige and John Woo?
In fact, the other two are thinking the same way now.

John Woo: I came from Hollywood, North America, and I can’t lose face.

Poet Chen: I don’t know where I come from, and you two are from humble backgrounds. How could I be afraid of you?

Zhang Yuan did not feel any psychological pressure when changing his schedule.

Anyway, I am a younger generation, a small one, and a peasant.

I'm not as shameless as you are, so it doesn't matter.

These people were all embarrassed.

"Kaige is such a shitty guy!" Director Feng continued to curse.

"Without him, this wouldn't have happened."

"This Zhang Yuan is also..." Director Feng glanced at Xiao Wang out of the corner of his eye when he talked about him.

"Zhang Yuan is very capable."

"As for the previous hype, it was indeed amazing."

“But the more powerful the disobedient person is, the more troublesome he will be.” Wang Zhonglei gave a definition.

"Yes, this kid is also the instigator. Will he have no descendants?"

This is a curse that will cause Zhang Yuan to have no descendants.

However, considering Zhang Yuan’s “specialties”, what he said is probably of no use.

Director Feng is just this kind of person, a real villain.

No matter how good things were before, if you stand in his way, he will start cursing at you.

Compared with a hypocrite like poet Chen, it is hard to tell who is better or worse.

Although I have worked with Zhang Yuan in the past, the results were not bad.

But this time it concerns his own interests.

The box office of the film is directly linked to his director's bonus.

So a small grudge was created between them.

This group of "seniors" eventually pushed all the responsibility onto Zhang Yuan, who seemed to be the easiest to bully.

While these people were cursing, Zhang Yuan was leisurely sitting in the Deyuan Society's small theater watching crosstalk.

"Uncle."

"Hey!"

"You're taking advantage of me!"

On the stage, Xiao Yuezheng and Shi Aidong partnered to perform "Selling Cloth".

Zhang Yuan was sitting in the front row, which made Xiao Yue a little nervous.

The last time Mr. Guo met him, he said that Xiao Yue was about to get it.

Now he saw that Xiao Yue had finally figured it out.

The so-called enlightenment means that you have entered the door and grasped the key points.

It’s not just about memorizing lines on stage.

Now he has gradually revealed his unique personal style.

That's "cheap".

Already started to act like a jerk on stage.

After being praised by the audience, he rushed into the arms of Shi Aidong, who was supporting him.

Audiences love to watch this, especially female audiences.

You could say he was forced out.

After being kicked off the stage for the first time, my confidence was completely destroyed and it took me a lot of time to adjust.

When he was arranged to go on stage again, he was able to perform crosstalk calmly and was not booed off the stage again.

But it has been lukewarm and progress has been slow.

At this moment, Li Jing, the big-eyed boy who had worked with Teacher Guo the earliest, came and said that he had a junior fellow student.

Li Jing's clapperboard master is Mr. Liang Houmin.

Mr. Liang Houmin’s master is Gao Fengshan, the founder of Gao style allegro.

This person is considered a top master in the field of clapperboard.

Gao Fengshan also has an apprentice, Mr. Shi Fukuan, Qian Ge’s master.

So the relationship is complicated, but very close.

Shi Aidong is Mr. Liang Houmin’s nephew. He actually doesn’t know how to perform crosstalk and he only learned the clapper talk temporarily not long ago.

Li Jing introduced him to this because the other party wanted to make some extra money.

In terms of seniority, this person is of the same generation as Guo and Yu.

After letting the students try a few times, Teacher Guo made up his mind and replaced the student who was partnered with Xiao Yue.

Let them team up!
Shi Aidong’s crosstalk level is not very high, so why did Teacher Guo arrange it this way?

This is what makes Guo Degang so great.

He found that Shi Aidong had a bad temper.

And because his level is average, he always doesn’t speak according to the words.

He might even get angry while speaking on the stage.

The funny man often takes advantage of the straight man.

Teacher Guo took advantage of all the members of Qian Ge's family, young and old, men and women.

But sometimes, when this teacher is acting, he gets really angry if the funny guy doesn’t get enough of the advantage.

Logically speaking, this is not considered an excellent supporting role.

But what Mr. Guo likes is that he doesn't play by the rules.

After partnering with Xiao Yue, he often pouted and couldn't open his mouth on stage.

But you can’t curse on stage, you have to stop acting.

He felt that the other party was not here to support him, but rather there was an extra opponent on the stage.

He couldn't beat the other person because the other person was quick-witted and older than him, so he had no choice but to give in to him.

As time went by, his original style was magnified.

This has formed a routine in which the funny part is weak and the supporting part is strong, which is the opposite of the relationship between the two parties in traditional crosstalk.

And because the other party always didn't speak according to the words, his on-the-spot reaction was also honed.

Teacher Guo arranged this just to force him.

After such a partnership, Xiao Yue had only two options: either die on stage, or find a way out in the pain.

This is what is meant by "jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished."

Many times, if a person wants to make progress, a good mentor is indispensable.

But at the same time, good opponents are also indispensable.

Just like when people talk about the Beacon Country, many people sneer at it.

But if they had not led the entire Western world in pursuit and blockade, China might not have been able to develop so fast.

A lot of potential is forced out by opponents.

Xiao Yue is like this now, and has made great progress.

"Not bad." After he stepped down, Zhang Yuan went over to praise him.

I don't know if this guy hasn't gotten over his character yet or he's just gotten used to it, but his private smile sounds frivolous and dissolute.

"I'll talk to Teacher Guo about the next batch of apprentices and see if I can arrange for you to be one of them."

"Really?" Xiao Yue opened his squinting eyes excitedly.

"Just do your best first."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he went backstage.

Teacher Guo was not there, but Brother Qian was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and smoking one cigarette after another.

"Give me one." Seeing him coming, he gave him one.

"Degang went on stage, didn't you go to see it?"

"Not with you?"

"He held one for the gold." Brother Qian replied.

Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head.

To be honest, Mr. Guo is not very good at supporting the main role.

Too red.

The supporting actor should be the foil.

But he sprinkled gold powder on this green leaf, which made it so conspicuous and a little stealing.

"Teacher Guo is rarely praised."

"He doesn't praise ordinary people. This is not love for his disciples." Brother Qian chuckled at this point and said, "He just pampers them."

"We're going to have a special show for him soon."

"This kid has some talent."

"But your character still needs to be tempered." Brother Qian said maturely, with a trace of worry on his face.

Cao Yunjing calls him Brother Qian, not Teacher Yu, but godfather.

Forcing him to lend him money to buy a house, what's the difference between him and my father?

Closer than my own father.

What kind of look does Brother Qian have? He saw everything, but he didn’t say anything.

This kid's character will lead to him falling sooner or later.

A madman.

Arranging Shi Aidong for Xiao Yue is what makes Mr. Guo so great.

But at the same time, Teacher Guo also has obvious character flaws.

He is good at using tricks, but not good at persuading people.

Zhang Yuan, like Brother Qian, pretended not to see it and didn't talk about it.

"By the way, Brother Qian." Zhang Yuan came here today not only to relax and unwind, but also to ask him something.

"Give me a photo of Guo Xiaobao."

"It's Yu Siyang, my little apprentice." Zhang Yuan explained.

Yu Qian looked at him unhappily.

"You and Degang are really close brothers."

“He wouldn’t let me go on stage.”

"You didn't spare me off stage either."

"A few days ago, the child asked me when I would send him to his father..."

Phew, hahahahaha… Zhang Yuan laughed so hard that he was choked by the smoke.

"Your injury is a work-related one."

"What do you want the photos for?" Brother Qian was curious.

"We'll be filming in a few days, and there need to be photos of children in the scene."

"It's about my son when he was a kid."

"I think it's good to keep the money in the family, so we won't sell it to other families."

I’m about to go film “Ip Man”.

When he was reading the script, he saw a photo of Ye Jun as a child in the scene description.

Ye Zhun didn’t have any photos of his children, so he couldn’t use the owner’s own photos, so he had to find those of the actors.

This job is paid, so of course we have to focus on our own people.

"That's a good thing." Brother Qian put out his cigarette and said, "Okay, I'll go home and find it for you."

"Being your son is better than showing off to Degang as his son."

“But I’m at a disadvantage.”

"Go to hell!"

I had a meal with the big guys from the crosstalk club and drank a lot to communicate with them.

It can be seen at the dinner table that the brothers are all afraid of gold.

Although we are brothers from the same school, Teacher Guo actually doesn’t have time to teach each of us one by one.

Several later comers were taught and guided by Cao Yunjing.

The eldest brother is like a father. Chen Long also respects Hong Jinbao very much. The same principle applies.

However, Jinzi quite enjoyed this state. He felt proud when he saw his fellow junior fellow apprentices and those who had not yet become his disciples saw him trembling or came to toast him.

And while others drink one cup, he only drinks half a cup.

It means that my status is half a level higher than yours.

In particular, Mr. Guo’s daughter-in-law specially toasted him with a glass during the meal.

"Jin Zi, these kids all need your help."

"Your master has to go on tour and record shows, so he doesn't have much time."

"Thanks to you."

Seeing that the master's wife had drunk a glass, this man puffed out his chest even more arrogantly, with his nostrils almost pointing to the sky.

However, when he saw Zhang Yuan squinting his eyes at him, he quickly lowered his head.

He quickly picked up the wine glass and came to him to toast.

I didn't even dare to drink half a cup, and hurriedly drank the whole cup.

Because he knew that the master would at most just talk and scold him.

My uncle really dares to take action!
Zhang Yuan didn't say much, but looked at Wang Hui.

What she said just now was a bit too much.

It feels a bit like "overpraising to death", like adding fuel to the fire.

He remained calm and didn't react, still pretending not to see it.

After this meal, rest for the night.

The next day, Zhang Yuan and Shu Chang, with whom he had made an appointment earlier, went to visit the new house for which they had just paid 700 million US dollars.

The property certificate is already in hand, and theoretically, the house is already his.

The remaining US$500 million is in the process of being transferred.

I asked Boss Chen for help and found someone to open a trust account in Switzerland.

As a result, his savings were basically gone.

"Sing, you must have waited a long time."

When he arrived at the place on foot, he found Shu Chang already waiting at the gate.

"No, just a moment."

"Okay, if you say no, then no."

Zhang Yuan looked around. It was quite deserted here before, and there were not many people in the alley.

It is a little more lively today. There is an old man selling oranges, sitting on a blue electric tricycle.

Just across from the new house, we were basking in the sun with our arms around each other.

When he saw someone coming, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Uncle, isn't it quiet with your business set up here?" Zhang Yuan was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so he went straight to the other party.

"Let me take care of you."

I just drank too much yesterday, so I had a few oranges to moisten my throat and relieve the internal heat.

But with Shu Chang here, it seems like I don’t need to rely on oranges to cool down…

I ordered two pounds of tangerines.

Zhang Yuan found that this old man was quite reasonable and did not steal things like most other small vendors.

It is enough, not missing any weight.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that he was lucky today as he even met some good people when he went out.

"Here, I'll keep one set of keys, and the rest are given to you. Keep them well." Zhang Yuan asked someone to replace the lock cylinder in advance and handed the key to Shu Chang.

There are too many houses to take care of.

Someone has to check occasionally to make sure it hasn't been occupied or stolen, and also open the windows for ventilation.

If it loses popularity for a long time, it will easily decay.

This important task was handed over to Changchang.

"Come in and take a look together."

"You are the first one to come after I got it."

I had promised Liu Xixi that I would invite her first as a guest.

However, Shu Chang was not a guest, so his words did not count.

He also brought his assistant to familiarize himself with the situation.

The three of them stepped over the threshold, passed through the Guangliang gate, and entered the courtyard.

As soon as the figures of these three people disappeared, the orange-selling old man who had been listless just now suddenly straightened up and became energetic.

After jumping off the tricycle, he tiptoed to the gate of the compound.

After confirming that Zhang Yuan and the others had entered the yard, he turned around and looked at the house number to make sure he had not looked at the wrong house.

Then he trotted back to the tricycle and took out a black-cased mobile phone from inside his coat.

His hands were operating, but his eyes were always fixed on the direction of the door.

"Hey!"

Not long after, the call was connected.

He covered his mouth, spoke cautiously like a spy, lowered his voice and talked into the phone.

"The yard you told me to watch."

"Someone is coming!" (End of this chapter)
