Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

The cowboy sharpshooter played by Zhao Chuanxin has the wildness of the West that is not bound by morality, the coldness of killing without blinking an eye, the elegance of superb skills, and the aura of a real man who is as hard as a rock.

John Wayne is just a greasy pile of shit compared to him.

If the two of them appeared on the screen at the same time, John Wayne would be the one who was trampled underfoot and crushed.

At this time, John Wayne came out after changing his clothes. He adjusted his belt and said uncertainly, "It seems to be better than my original clothes."

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin, then at John Wayne, and no one spoke.

John Wayne always played tough guy roles, the most famous of which is "Stagecoach".

But comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.

John Wayne wondered, "You think it's bad?"

"Good, very good, better than before."

"Well, that's good."

Zhao Chuanxin was very considerate and did not steal the show. He came to John Wayne and introduced him, "I think your original hat was shabby. A cowboy should care about his hat. You are fat and round, not long horizontally. In addition, your hands and feet are thick and your limbs are a little short compared to your height, so I made some adjustments to your shirt, making your shoulders slightly wider and not piled up at the forearms, so that your arms appear longer. For your body shape, the original thin belt is too small..."

Zhao Chuanxin made John Wayne sound a little angry.

It's not a good idea to expose someone's shortcomings, so why do you always pick on their flaws?

But we have to admit that the clothes designed by Zhao Chuanxin have greatly improved his image.

The director was also convinced.

He is the person originally responsible for the costumes and makeup. His nose is not a nose and his eyes are not eyes.

The director said, "You can be hired, but you have to obey the props team's arrangements."

So Zhao Chuanxin joined the group.

Zhao Nianzhen needs to undergo intensive training, and time is tight, with only three days left.

Just think about it, when a complete newcomer, who had just arrived, was immediately chosen as the heroine, many people's eyes turned red.

The next day, everyone in the crew said, "You're the leading actress now, so you have to treat everyone to a meal, right?"

Zhao Nianzhen smiled slightly: "Forget it, I'll save some more money and try to buy a house for everyone later."

Everyone: "..."

Even though they had only known each other for a short time, everyone had already discovered that Zhao Nianzhen was not as soft as Gail Russell. She was covered in thorns, which could be soft or hard and could easily prick people and make them feel uncomfortable.

During the third day of intensive training, someone came to the crew.

This person is a producer named Walter Wanger, who was the one who tried to take advantage of Zhao Nianzhen before.

When Dacongming saw Walter Wanger, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something bad was going to happen.

Walter Wanger watched Zhao Nianzhen train with a forced smile.

Gail Russell was confused and asked Dacongming: "Does Walter Wanger, a very important person in Hollywood, also think highly of Zhao Nianzhen's acting skills?"

Da Congming smiled bitterly: "What does he care about? It's not his acting skills."

Although Gail Russell is a simple man, he has learned a lot about the dirty deeds of the entertainment industry through what he has seen and heard.

She hurried to find Zhao Chuanxin and told him about it.

Zhao Chuanxin was making hair accessories for Zhao Nianzhen. Hearing this, he said without even looking up, "Oh, I see."

Gail Russell said hastily: "But..."

Zhao Chuanxin put down a few snowflake-shaped white-gold hairpins that could be pinched on the braids and stretched lazily: "It's not a big problem, don't worry."

the next day.

The newspapers reported that producer Walter Wanger had disappeared.

Everyone just sighed a few words after dinner.

Only Da Congming and Gail Russell looked at Zhao Chuanxin with a changed look.

Mr. Zhao had said that Walter Wanger would be a potential threat, and then Walter Wanger disappeared.

Is this a coincidence?

……

When they arrived in Arizona, Zhao Chuanxin did exactly what the director wanted.

He is a blacksmith, carpenter, tailor, can make design drawings, and can repair cameras and electrical appliances...

Usually, Zhao Chuanxin teaches Gail Russell painting, music and shooting.

John Wayne saw it all, but he couldn't vent his anger.

He was a married man and he shouldn't have gotten too close to Gail Russell.

So he had no reason to get angry.

Gail Russell's acting skills gradually loosened up and his self-confidence gradually increased. The director and others saw this and felt that Zhao Chuanxin had something.

Zhao Chuanxin's evaluation of this film is - it's too bloody.

For example, in the first scene, the heroine and her father rescued the hero. When the hero fainted, he pressed down the heroine, and then the two kissed accidentally.

But at this time, the bloody plot is still fresh and hot.

Of course, this scene was shot with a misaligned position, and the lips did not actually touch. It was originally designed with a misaligned position, and it was not something Zhao Nianzhen deliberately requested.

Zhao Nianzhen's endless small accessories add luster to the role of the heroine, and Gail Russell is very envious.

At the director's request, Zhao Chuanxin designed action scenes for John Wayne.

John Wayne was dissatisfied and said: "I have acted in dozens and hundreds of cowboy movies. Don't you know how to shoot?"

He is famous in Hollywood and has a high position in the company.

The director had to give him some face and persuaded him: "Look at Zhao's movements first, look first, really..."

After John Wayne finished reading it, he stopped talking.

There is nothing Zhao Chuanxin doesn't know how to use, whether it's a long gun or a short gun.

The movements he designed gave the character the demeanor of a true master.

The more skilled one is, the more courageous one is; he can act fluently and with ease... This is actually what directors of this era have always wanted to express.

The halo of the protagonist.

However, only Zhao Chuanxin truly expressed what it means to be a master.

Sometimes, they would discuss film language and mention Zhao Chuanxin, a milestone figure in the film industry.

Director James Grant was surprised and said: "Zhao Chuanxin's last name is Zhao, and Ethan's last name is also Zhao, this..."

"It's all coincidence, it's all misunderstanding."

"Huh... I think so."

With Zhao Nianzhen joining, the filming progress was countless times faster than that of Gail Russell.

Normally, Gail Russell should be unhappy about having his role taken away from him.

The result is just the opposite.

Zhao Chuanxin told her: "It is not enough to rely on external things to improve self-confidence. I have met psychologist Adler and I agree with his point of view. Your past will not bind you unless you let it. In interpersonal relationships, you must separate the issues. The third step is the sense of community. Next, I will help you find a sense of existence in the group."

Although Adler's psychology theory caused a sensation in the world, few people were willing to accept it.

People like to make excuses for their laziness, evasion and inaction.

But according to Adlerian psychology, people are not given the opportunity to make excuses. Anyone who thinks that the past affects his present self is making excuses.

At the beginning, Adler believed that Zhao Chuanxin had the courage to be hated by others. He achieved the separation of topics, but was still able to find his position in the group and output value.

Adler was a theoretical person, while Zhao Chuanxin was a complete practical person, and the two people had similar ideas.

Because Gail Russell had few roles, Zhao Chuanxin took her to various groups to help with work.

Zhao Chuanxin told her: "Plan it in advance. Whenever someone says to you, 'Thank you,' don't reply, 'You're welcome.' Instead, say something else to make a joke. Plan it well, and then just blurt it out."

"Don't worry about your movements. Start by fanning yourself. When you have nothing to do, just fan yourself with the fan, using wide, open and close movements..."

It may be embarrassing at first to say and do what Zhao Chuanxin designed, but the effect is immediate.

People around her gradually began to like communicating with her and were more willing to joke with her, no longer worrying that she would be sensitive and angry.

Zhao Chuanxin took her horseback riding and took her swimming at the beach.

As long as Zhao Chuanxin is around, she can do whatever she wants without worrying about any danger.

She witnessed with her own eyes that Zhao Chuanxin broke the forearm of a man who had touched her inappropriately, bending it at 90 degrees.

Zhao Chuanxin took her to the Gulf of California and summoned a humpback whale.

Humans have a fear of giants, especially at close range.

Gail Russell was scared at first, but she gradually relaxed when Zhao Chuanxin forced her to touch the humpback whale.

These all help to increase confidence.

Two people went to get a haircut, and a salesperson said to them, "Sir, Madam, please apply for a membership card of our hair salon. You can enjoy discounts..."

Whenever Gail Russell encountered such a thing in the past, he would be at a loss, lower his head and avoid it, saying "no thanks".

Now, she can look up and say to the salesperson with confidence: "No need, let your boss earn more."

……

In addition to John Wayne, Zhao Nianzhen also had a problem with Zhao Chuanxin: "Dad, are you here to accompany me or her?"

"I can say that I am a daughter slave." Zhao Chuanxin was dissatisfied: "But you can't really treat me as a slave. I need some private space."

"Private space, just hanging out with that stupid woman?"

"What do you mean by 'hanging out'? That's really rude. I just treat her like a child. She has mental problems and I'm treating her."

Zhao Chuanxin is actually just idle.

After serving the country and the people for decades, can't you do whatever you want after retiring?

"She's looking at you with eyes that are almost tearing, who would believe it? Ask John Wayne if he believes it?"

"That old jealous guy, he knows nothing, he lives like a dog at his age."

Zhao Nianzhen pouted: "Just go ahead and make excuses."

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin told Gail Russell: "You have completed your apprenticeship and can venture into the vast world on your own."

“…” Gail Russell immediately panicked: “I don’t have it, I can’t, I’m not confident yet.”

"You've learned to lie now, so why can't you do that?"

Seeing that his daughter was unhappy, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to get rid of Gail Russell.

After all, he came to accompany Zhao Nianzhen.

Gail Russell pouted and looked unhappy.

She is younger than Zhao Nianzhen.

Even eating rice is on camera.

When Zhao Nianzhen said that Ganfan could understand human language, the director explained the play to him seriously.

"Later, you sit on the ground, look up at the protagonist, stick out your tongue and wag your tail."

"Yes, that's right. What a good dog."

"Hey, you dog, why are you spitting at me..."

Ganfan: Damn the stick!

Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Nianzhen and Ganfan truly spent two happy years in Hollywood.

Zhao Chuanxin always flirts with other women unintentionally, and is criticized by Zhao Nianzhen.

Zhao Chuanxin himself didn't understand it. Sometimes, out of good intentions, he would help and someone would push him onto the bed.

Women in Hollywood are so weird.

Among them are Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, Rosalind Russell, Gloria Grahame, Susan Hayward, Deborah Kerr...

There are young women and mature women too.

The back seat of Zhao Chuanxin's retro motorcycle automatically refreshes the actress.

Dacongming, the agent, was terrified.
