Drunken Master

Pei Yan returned home the next day.

He woke up in the living room of Zhuang Xiao's house, and the sunlight came in through the glass door of the porch in the backyard, paving the floor profusely, warming his mood.Liang Youhui was like a sleepy pig, lying on the opposite couch with transparent nose bubbles.

The coffee table was messy, with their leftover dinner plates from last night, and the barbecue grill and bonfire in the backyard had cooled down.

There were meat stars and barbecue sauce still sticking to his mouth, so he wiped his mouth.

He carefully put away the CD and poster that Zhuang Xiao had signed for him last night.He almost told Zhuang Xiao, if you sign your name on my back, I won't take a bath for the rest of my life!

There was movement in the backyard. The host was walking around, cleaning up the mess left by the barbecue party last night.

Pei Yan wandered to the porch of the backyard and said, "Hey, you saw me fall asleep on the sofa last night?"

Zhuang Xiao raised his head and greeted him: "I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't move you. I also covered you with a blanket, are you satisfied?"

Pei Yan shrugged: "Hey, you covered me? I thought Huihui sneaked up on me in the middle of the night, and thoughtfully covered me with the quilt."

Zhuang Xiao let out a laugh: "Come on, you, even if you dare."

Pei Yan was also particularly dissatisfied: "Let me be in the same room with him, how can it be possible? I'm afraid of having an affair with him."

Zhuang Xiao sneered: "Do you know what his partner is doing?"

"I already know." Pei Yan said happily, "It's the criminal police captain of our city bureau. It is said that he is also a master of Sanda. He usually wears a gun when he goes to and from get off work. He is very awesome. I am very scared, afraid of being collapsed by the police uncle .”

From the beginning to the end, he seemed to be using Liang Youhui as a shield to cover up some vague things, and he was thinking about this person in front of him...

The two cleaned up the backyard, and compared each other to a set of Wing Chun duets.

When Zhuang Xiao walked towards the glass door of the porch, he changed out of his sweaty white shirt. Pei Yan was still full of vigor from eating mutton, and suddenly said: "As for the action on the poster, you can draw me another one. Put you and the poster in the same shot and take a picture?"

Zhuang Xiao lowered his head to pack his things and ignored him.

Pei Yan was relentless and kept her eyes on: "Show it again?"

Zhuang Xiao didn't even look like he was smiling, and quickly put a clean and refreshing white shirt on his body, and pulled down the clothes to cover his abdominal muscles, with no expression on his face.That poster was a half-naked stills in the studio, with blood-stained scars on his face and body, gauze wrapped around his waist, and an air of iron and blood killing.Black hair flying, wild and sexy...

Every meeting is a haste, and the days after parting are long.

All have the meaning of reluctance, indifferent melancholy.Without him, it is very pleasant to get along with.

……

After Pei Yan returned to China, her work status remained the same, her schedule was full, and she shuttled between the cities where she was filming and catching up on announcements every week.

Few people know that he once rejected the role of the Iron Triangle in the American TV series "Knights of the Distant Star". He also told the company team not to hype such a small sesame seed to make people laugh.However, the outside world already knew that Zhuang Xiao had withdrawn from the filming of the fifth season of "Knight", and there was an uproar.

All kinds of rumors are pervasive, "Hollywood DreamWorks is becoming more and more white-skinned, and the production side suppresses Chinese actors and unequal pay for equal work" is rampant, and it is true.

"Brother Xiao has been bullied and suppressed his salary like this. Sure enough, he can't be too kind. Ah Xiao can beat those long-haired idiots on the set by himself!"

"The usual publicity is so awesome, and you are just an idiot and sweet fan in Mongolia. What role can you play in Hollywood? There is no place for poster group performances! The US emperor can't get along and is reluctant to crawl back!"

"There is no place to climb back. Has anyone seen the old Barou in the shed for real beating or using a substitute?"

"The substitute is also the banker's class. The substitutes are all living people! It's better than your delicate fresh meat to shoot an action scene and use a plaster dummy to pretend to be a dead body. The cutout special effects are so dazzling!"

"A passer-by has heard that the prop manufacturer who made casts for the set of "Dragon Fights the Sky Pass" just sent three bald casts of the same size. Can you guess whose fresh meat substitutes are causing this?"

"Upstairs Heizi has an ugly whore face! I, Yanyan, am proficient in everything Taiji Bagua Xingyi Boxing, and I am the most handsome man on the set, so you are old, weak, sick, disabled, and white-haired!"

……

In the kung fu circle, the two families are jealous, arguing over popularity and status. Such discordant voices are actually very few, and now Shuangdan fans are the main force in the consumer market.Since the American version of "Drunken Master" entered the post-production and promotion stage, the first means of building momentum in mainland China is to create "the coolest and most evil brother CP in history".

After all, at the beginning, Zhuang Xiao and Pei Yan both worked so hard to play the role of villains in the group, but just waiting for this to come out, the effort can't be wasted.

A top-selling fashion magazine released a set of blockbuster black and white textures. The two of them, Zhuang Xiao and Pei Yan, were leaning against each other with their backs to their flesh.

Later, it was said that the interview program of a certain entertainment station invited the two of them to chat on the program at the same time.

Fans on the Internet are so crazy that they lick different levels and depths from a set of photos.

It is one party that fascinates two people's pectoral muscles.It is a party that loves the vicissitudes of life in the eyes of mature men.

There is a party of licking evil baldheads.There is a party with black and red tattoos looming under the waistband of his trousers.

There is also a fan novel party with hundreds of thousands of words in mind, which is subdivided into upper and lower years.Standing introverted, dark-bellied and evil vs. evil and charming little wolf dog, the two are in the same situation, and they both feel that their analysis is very reasonable.Occasionally there are mutual attack cults, but they are quickly crushed by other organizations.

In fact, the schedules of the two were staggered at that time, and they were separated from each other, so they couldn't go to the photography studio together. This group of flat photos was "acted out" in front of the air, and then edited together with PS.

When Pei Yan was taking magazine photos, she was facing the concave shape of the man in her brain, and she got into the scene without any effort at all. During the shooting, she was full of excitement, and her eyes and expressions were superb...

The body is rhythmic.Take a hard picture, fuck, you can take a hard picture of yourself.

Later, he took a stack of magazine samples from the company director.

One book is not enough for him to lick, so he will suck it up slowly at night, put one book under the pillow, place one book on the coffee table in the living room, and need to put two more books in the bathroom shower room...

The computer still has the original film, as well as some other stills and pictures of Zhuang Xiao.

He didn't throw these things together with his GV, small movies, etc., but listed a separate encrypted folder and hid it in the deep corner of the computer path.

For a man, desire is desire, love is love, and he distinguishes it very clearly.Acting is acting, and work is work. However, liking is really good...

Behind the turbulent scenes, someone began to plan quietly and make some moves.

Pei Yan's agent, Johnny Wu, sat in an office chair, put on a posture, and started calling Zhuang Xiao's agent, Bao Pengzhi.

"Bao Xiansen, I'm Jonny! Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you Mr. Zhuang very much. Oh, there is such a thing now. It's a very good opportunity. I really want to ask Mr. Zhuang to consider... Yes, it is "" "Dragon Fighting Tianguan" is a big production of ancient costume martial arts, the schedule is very urgent, I don't know if Mr. Zhuang and your team have time recently—"

""Dragon Fights the Sky"?" Bao Xiaopang was very puzzled, "I remember that this drama has been planned for a long time? Isn't the cast already confirmed?"

"It's a long story, cough cough, it was originally decided, but one of the leading actors postponed the shooting time of the whole film due to the delay of the schedule, and the other leading actor couldn't come for some reason, so..." Johnny Wu explained Said, "I sent you the notebook and staff list to your mailbox, the team is very powerful, you must let Mr. Zhuang take a look!"

"So...? Oh... I'll let him take a look. Mr. Zhuang is not here now, and I'll tell him when I see him." Bao Xiaopang replied businesslike.

Next to Johnny Wu, sitting on the desk was Pei Yan, staring at the agent's phone call without blinking, and kept winking and gesticulating. His style made him very dissatisfied, why are you talking so much nonsense?

He didn't snatch Johnny Wu's phone number this time, he directly dialed Zhuang Xiao's number.

Overseas phone signal is poor.In the early morning of the imperial capital, it is midnight over there, and the ears are full of noisy music and human voices.Zhuang Xiao's voice penetrated the noise, slightly surprised: "Old Pei?"

"Are you on vacation? Are you so free?" Pei Yan asked immediately.

"At a friend's house." Zhuang Xiao replied.

"What friend? Who is it?" Pei Yan couldn't hold back, and asked if she wanted to inquire, and even elbowed Uncle Johnny's hand that was trying to wink at him and tugged at him frantically.

"Jason Banner's house is a gathering of friends." Zhuang Xiao was very frank, and there was nothing worth hiding.

The crew of "The Knight of the Distant Star" Zhuang Xiao quit and fell out with the producer, but it seems that he has a good relationship with the leading man Jason Banner, and there is even a midnight carnival... Pei Yanfile He gritted his teeth, feeling bitter about his single life, which was sleepless night after night.

In fact, Zhuang Xiao's life is not bad, no matter what, he is not short of money or a bowl of rice, so he has nothing to worry about.

Pei Yan bluntly reported the key words of the basic information: "I know that the time is very tight. Ten days later, yes, during the ten-day preparation period, the crew of "Dragon Fighting Tianguan" started at the Yanmenguan Film and Television Base. The number two male came to the rescue, are you coming?"

Pei Yan had already inquired about Zhuang Xiao's schedule and calculated the exact date.He knew that if Zhuang Xiao was idle for a month, he could join the filming group.

"Ancient costume, Ming Dynasty, martial arts, the second male court criminal is also a border hero, on the poster he is on the left of the male lead, and has basically as many scenes as the male lead!

"Decent character, very heroic, open ending, no emotional scenes, no sex scenes, just martial arts, just fighting! The script is very good, there is an original novel, and then I hired an Academy Award-winning screenwriter, the director is reliable, and the special effects team configuration is good. Production There is no problem with the funding chain of the film studio. A total of seven or eight investors participated, the largest investment being our 'Jiahuang Brothers'."

Pei Yan finished the key points in one breath, I have done everything I can, you can figure it out.

Just when he was not stuttering, there was no stuttering over there, and the heavy metal rock music like an earthquake collapsed in his ears, all the noise disappeared, and his ears suddenly became clear.

In order to hear what he said clearly, Zhuang Xiao went upstairs to the study on the second floor of Jason's house and closed the door.

"You want me to act in this?" Zhuang Xiao was really surprised. What surprised him wasn't the show or the role, but Pei Yan's identity as an actor that drew him this relationship.

"Oh, I forgot to mention the most important thing. The film salary must be in the high eight figures. They need someone to rescue them now and they know your price, so they dare not give you less. For specific needs, you can ask Fatty Bao to talk to the producer. Let’s talk, it depends on whether you want a fixed salary, or a share in the funds for later publicity.” Pei Yan paused, and said, “I just want you to act, because this role is very suitable for you, and you are the best choice.”

"Are you the number one male?" Zhuang Xiao asked.

"I'm not!" Pei Yan said disdainfully, "You haven't read the original novel, have you? The male protagonist is just a beautiful embroidered pillow, and you, a border hero, need to protect it with your utmost protection. The plot of the novel is written like this, you say Can I play this trash?"

"Oh, then what are you playing?" Zhuang Xiao felt that Pei Shaoxia would not just help introduce a character.

"I'm the one on the poster holding a embroidered spring knife on the top of the waste wood's head." Pei Yan let out a laugh, "I'm the villain boss, the last battle will be thrown out by the hero from the Yanmen Gate and hanged with an iron chain Die, your head is off—are you going to act?!"

"Fuck... this plot is exciting and tempting. I really have to think about it." Zhuang Xiao said.

Low laughter with deep meaning and mixed flavors burst out from both ends of the phone at the same time.

Zhuang Xiao frowned and laughed at him: "Are you addicted to acting as a villain? Idol faction can't come back anymore?"

"I'm not an idol, am I an 'anti-idol'? I'm in my own class!" Pei Yan is not modest, "I'm good at acting. If others want to act but can't, I might be able to be a part of it." Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards."

anti-idol...

Zhuang Xiao was sitting on the sofa in the study room on the second floor of Jason Banner's house, his silhouette under the lamp was motionless, smoking a cigarette, but smiling on his lips... He really liked to hear Pei Yan talking nonsense to him every time , such a person who is spicy, explosive, smelly and hard, why is he different from others...

Then, there was another unbearable silence, hesitation, hesitation.

"Is this what the investors mean?" Zhuang Xiao said, "Have you talked to your Jiahuang boss?"

"Are you sure?"

Zhuang Xiao calmly confirmed again.

"Of course, I don't dare to fool you if there is something undecided." Pei Yan said, "The producer is waiting for news from me. He is in the conference room next to our company. I can talk to you on the phone anytime now! If If you nod your head, let you chubby fly over, get everything done within three days, and sign the contract. Then you join the group with me, and we will be together."

Pei Yan followed Da Snake Qicun and said, "I know, you haven't come back to make a serious drama for many years--you don't count the friendship tricks. If someone came to you today and gave you nine figures, you would It may not be a way to save face and agree to accept it! But today I invite you, I sincerely want to cooperate with you, and I want to play a scene where I lose my head and get a lunch box. My neck is hard, and others can’t cut me. Enjoyable! I think, I have already opened my mouth, and you will consider me...?"

Let's be together.

I have already spoken, will you consider me?

Double entendre.

What are you talking about, should Zhuang Xiao accept it or not?

Does Pei Yan know how to speak, or can't she speak?

Zhuang Xiao should say, yes, I just don’t want to go back, don’t want to hang out in that circle, don’t want to go back to the old way, and I won’t take it if you give me [-] million; or should I say, yes, I don’t even look down on others , but you said it, you invited me, no matter what, I have to give you this face, we have a friendship...

Of course, this "pimp" was pulled out by Pei Yan's painstaking efforts. It is true that the crew of "Dragon Fighting the Sky" was postponed for some reason and needed to save the scene, but the film crew would not think of asking Zhuang Xiao to act.An actor like Zhuang Xiao is well-known and worth a lot, and he can't even spend money to hire him, so it's better to find someone who is easy and cheap.

However, cheap and trouble-free ones certainly don't have such a bombshell publicity effect.

Pei Yan told Jiahuang's big boss and producer, do you know how long Zhuang Xiao hasn't returned to China to film?How hard is it please? The paparazzi of "Lei Xing" have been following him for so long, but they couldn't get any pictures of what happened to him and his family, which means that this person doesn't show up in mainland China.

But what if we really invite this person?The film has not yet been filmed, but the popularity is there. The word "Zhuang Xiao" is the audience's expectation, and the advertising and marketing costs are saved. Now we can celebrate the success and estimate the box office.

About half an hour later, as if they were organized, and there was a thunderstorm on the Internet, several official Weibo accounts and entertainment accounts released so-called gossip at the same time. The leading actor of the big production "Dragon Fights the Sky Pass" has returned to the mainland screen after many years." Yun Yun.

In the actor market, especially in the kung fu circle, things are rare and expensive. Familiar audiences are tired of seeing them, and the rarest ones are the rarest. Movie fans and kung fu fans are all trembling and excited.

Ancient costumes, pure martial arts, Ming dynasty courts and rivers and lakes, big internet IPs, award-winning screenwriters, new famous directors, big-name stars, supplemented by Jiahuang's strong capital... all high-quality elements are gathered.

"Heroes return to Zhuang Road, when the situation rises again—I am invincible, Brother Xiao!!"

"Year, birth, year! How can we still wait for such a big production of God's cast gold medal!!"

"Perfectly restore the bitter couple in the novel! Daxia Yun, you are so hard, you should look back at Cen Jiang's father-in-law. In fact, he really loves you, but you killed him for the righteousness of the rivers and lakes! No one is better than Cen Jiang I love you even more to make you cry!!"

"Let the upstairs think about it, the killing of these two people is really super cruel and super beautiful, the original party's three lives are lucky!!"

"Pei Zhuang changed from being a brother to a life-and-death relationship between Dongchang and a hero in a blink of an eye. This love and killing drama is too exciting!!"

"Fuck off the evil party upstairs, it's Zhuang Pei! Does Eunuch Cen have a dick? Zhuang Pei's CP is irreversible!!"

……

Bao Pengzhi was still on his way here, and the news had already been exposed on the Internet in advance of his footsteps, leaving the manager behind.

Bao Xiaopang was very surprised, and immediately called Zhuang Xiao: "Boss, what's going on? It said on the Internet that you answered "Dragon Fighting the Sky Pass"? I haven't answered it for you yet, is this funny?"

It's quiet over there.

Zhuang Xiao said in a low voice, "I took it."

Bao Xiaopang: "..."

Bao Xiaopang said: "This is Jiahuang and the others impatiently starting to hype again, right? Is this all ready? This time, I can't answer it. The Internet is bombarded. It seems like it has been called for a long time, and we are framed." I’ve gone up, now it’s too late to say no to acting?”

Zhuang Xiao was silent.

Bao Xiaopang should be swiping another mobile phone at the same time, and said while swiping: "It's too late, it's already on the hot search, #贝庄合身龙战天关#... Boss, your explosive points and traffic are still okay." .”

The rock music downstairs shook the eardrums one after another, causing the viscous things in the blood to surge again. There was a torrent mixed with foam in front of him, and the road ahead was slightly bright, but it was also unpredictable.

In the early morning of Southern California, the dew is heavy and the sky is white...

Zhuang Xiao said: "Please make a few more phone calls, or go back, and help me deal with the specific matters. You can talk about the salary as you like. In principle, you can give as much as the friendship price, and I don't care."

You don't care?

Brother, you seem to have just turned your face because of your salary, and you have given away the fifth season of "Knight"...

Bao Xiaopang was a bit irritated today. He had just been bombarded by the Internet for a round, and was bombarded by Zhuang Xiao again. This friendship is not an ordinary friendship. Outsiders have nothing to say...
