When the phoenix man meets the peacock man

At seven o'clock in the evening, the bakery was about to close. Zong Yuheng was counting the goods one by one and calculating the turnover of the day. At this time, he received a call from Kevin.

Kevin said suddenly on the phone: "Young Master Zong, come here quickly, there is a good job opportunity here!" It turned out that it was a group he was with to shoot an advertisement, and one of the actors' flights swept across North America. It was canceled due to the hurricane, and his position was vacant. The funds, director and other actors were in place in all aspects. The only thing we owe is this east wind, and now we are arresting people everywhere.

Kevin tried his best to persuade him to come and audition, "I think your temperament fits the theme of this commercial very well~ You have great hopes for coming! What's more rare is that do you know who you invited this time?"

Zong Yuheng neither pursues stars, nor does he want to enter the entertainment circle, nor does he have the addiction to take beautiful pictures of himself in front of the camera - none of these can impress him, "It doesn't matter to anyone - I haven't got off work yet, I'll take a look later Let’s talk if you have time.” He said without interest while pressing the calculator.

"It's said that the reward is good~" Kevin threw out the last carrot at the right time.

Zong Yuheng's ears froze all of a sudden, quite tempted.Of course, talking about money directly with Kevin seems a little unrestrained, and Kevin may not know the exact number, so he just said reservedly——"Then wait for me for an hour."

Kevin said: "One hour is no problem, arrange your little edamame well, don't bring it here, this group is full of big names, really big names! Do you know who the director is? If it's not a temporary situation like this A good opportunity will not fall on an extra like you—err, you are only here for an audition, but if you can be selected, you will post BLABLA..."

Zong Doudou was already a little sleepy. He had just finished his homework on the table. At this moment, he rubbed his eyes and walked over and said, "Brother, when are you coming home from work?" Ask, not to get an answer, just to express the meaning of wanting to go home.

Zong Yuheng said something vaguely, then hung up the phone, touched his younger brother's head and said, "It will be fine in a while... My brother will have a trial job soon, I will send you home, you Play."

Zong Doudou looked at him pitifully and said, "Brother, I don't want to be alone at home, I'm afraid~"

Zong Yuheng said: "You are a boy, what are you afraid of? I will lock the door so that bad guys can't get in."

Zong Doudou said: "What if a ghost comes to eat me? Brother can't come back to save me, and I can't run out. Brother, take me to work, I will work for you." Begging.

Zong Yuheng was cruel, but still thinking about refusing, he discussed in a friendly voice, "You wait at home obediently, there will be no ghosts, and when my brother comes back from get off work, I will buy you delicious food. What do you want to eat? Fried chicken legs or Pizza?"

Zong Doudou shook his head and said in a crying voice, "I don't want chicken legs or pizza. I don't want to be alone at home. I want to be with my brother." Like a little tail.

Zong Yuheng's persuasion failed, and he was about to scold the child hard. Ouyang Xiaohua walked over and said, "Don't make things difficult for the child. Let him look after the house alone at such a young age. Even boys will be afraid. Besides, It is indeed dangerous. In this way, Doudou will go back with me tonight. If your trial work ends early, you will come to my house to pick up Doudou. If it is late, you will stay at my house and I will help you spend the night."

Zong Yuheng felt that this was indeed a good idea, but he was a little embarrassed to bother him so much, thank you.

Ouyang Xiaohua said with a smile: "What's the trouble, anyway, I'm alone when I go home, and I like children a lot--Touch, come home with me tonight, okay?"

Zong Doudou looked up at his brother, knowing that he could not count on it, he immediately gave up his position and went to Ouyang Xiaohua's side and took her hand and said, "Sister Xiaohua, I'll go with you." Then he turned to his brother as if nothing happened. Say, "My brother is going to buy me chicken legs and pizza tomorrow!"

Zong Yuheng said helplessly: "You take advantage of all the good things!"

Zong Yuheng finished the work in the store and hurried to the studio where Kevin worked. When the outside was crowded with people who came to audition.

Kevin squeezed out from the crowd to greet him, and whispered to him, "See, these are all recruited by professional modeling agencies. This role is very sought-after. You have to seize the opportunity."

Zong Yuheng said in his heart that I only care about how much wages I can get for part-time work.

He looked at the competitors around him, and there were really all kinds of them, all of them were young and bright, and their clothes were fashionable to the point of exaggeration.However, when Zong Yuheng's eyes fell on the mirror not far away, and he glanced at his own appearance, he subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly to show a very flat smile due to a slight mockery.

Seeing his unknowingly peacock-like physique, Kevin thought to himself that it's better not to push him to join the entertainment industry. His arrogant and scheming personality can easily arouse the jealousy and resentment of his peers.

Zong Yuheng said: "Can you hurry up? I am working part-time, and I have to go back to look at the store tomorrow morning."

Kevin said: "Short oil! I think you are quite excited to be the manager of a small bakery~"

Zong Yuheng said: "I think the bakery job is very suitable for me. The boss is nice, the working hours are more flexible, the colleagues get along well, and it is more convenient to bring children. I plan to rely on this bakery Raised Doudou—I said, can’t you hurry up? If I could finish work earlier, I would still like to go to my colleague’s house to pick up the child, and I would be very embarrassed to ask someone to help take me with me without relatives or reasons.”

Kevin curled his lips, "Young Master Zong, this is an advertisement! Even a print advertisement can't be finished in an hour or two, there's no use in rushing~"

Just as he was talking, there was a bit of commotion over there. It turned out that the director himself couldn't bear the chaotic state, so he asked the staff to organize the auditioners into two rows in the corridor. Go over there and look at them one by one.Then "this and that and that" ordered three people, and the rest dismissed.

Then the three were brought into the studio, and asked to pose several poses under lights and reflectors. The director sat behind the camera and stared.

Zong Yuheng felt troublesome and regretted coming to the audition, and it showed on his face.He was agitated for a while, frowning slightly, looking impatient; for a while, he was a little distracted wondering if Zong Doudou was doing well at Ouyang Xiaohua's house, and whether he was going to bed after taking a bath or something.

As a result, the director stopped after fiddled a few times, pointed to Zong Yuheng and said, "That's him, his expression has what I need, very expressive."

Just now, Kevin secretly gave Zong Yuheng a wink to signal that he should be more serious. He thought silently——Director, you have been deceived...Young Master Zong is not pretending...he is just showing his idiot and hard-working qualities in a true way. ...

No matter what, Zong Yuheng still got the opportunity to perform, and the first question he asked the director was—how to calculate the remuneration.

The next request is - if he doesn't shoot tonight, can he leave, he has a child to take care of at home.

The director was stunned for a moment, "Which modeling agency do you belong to?"

Zong Yuheng said: "I am not a contracted model, but a part-time job."

The director was a little angry. On the set, he was basically the authority in control of the overall situation. He was the only one who could display the unruly temperament of the artist!An original small player actually challenged him with all kinds of talk!

...However, speaking of the subject of his shooting this time, he needed some noble and glamorous performances, and Zong Yuheng was chosen because of this... Well, let's just let him enter the role in advance.

The director answered Zong Yuheng's concerns one by one in an unexpectedly good-tempered manner, saying that in fact, the main actor of this shooting will come in a while, so today will probably last all night.

Zong Yuheng was hesitant to quit this job or something, but when he learned that the money from the part-time job tonight, he strengthened his belief in staying - the amount made him very satisfied.

He even thought that if he could work like this once or twice a month, the pressure of life would not be so great, so he took a more serious attitude to work.

The product shot in this advertisement is a certain "international" brand furniture - Michelangelo.Speaking of this legendary brand, there is a long story.

The founder of the company was the daughter of a worker in a furniture factory, who later took over as a female worker in a furniture factory.The female worker followed the tide of reform and opening up and resigned to ride the wind and waves, and then went to Hong Kong to fish for food. Somehow, she married an old Hong Kong man and returned home. After a series of gorgeous turns, she became a Hong Kong businessman.Afterwards, she bought a furniture factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and imitated her method of obtaining a new identity—going to Italy to register a brand at a price equivalent to several thousand yuan, and then returning to China to paste foreign-style furniture on her factory's earthen furniture. In this way, an international luxury brand furniture is created out of nothing in a very short period of time, and thousands of people are sold out when a bench leg is moved. (The key is that many people actually bought it.)

Things have been going smoothly for more than ten years, and the former female worker in the furniture factory has also earned a lot of money, and her figure has become much more fertile.However, some time ago, I didn't know how to get rid of it. Together with the exposure of the quality of the furniture, the entire brand image was greatly affected, and it seemed to be useless.

At the time of survival, the female owner of the furniture factory decided to save it in various ways, and hired extras from abroad to support her appearance, trying to prove that she was indeed "internationalized" from an ethnographic point of view, and held a press conference. Crying or something - that's the background of this ad shoot.

This advertisement, which was shot with a lot of money, is also an important strategy for brand maintenance.So everything from the director to the model cast can be regarded as luxurious, except for the one who couldn't come before, the male lead is an international star who has become popular overseas in recent years-of course, these brilliance and so on can't scare the manager of a small local bakery.

While waiting for the arrival of international big names, the director took turns taking pictures of several other actors. Zong Yuheng also put on a European gentleman's costume, wiped a few lumps of hair mud on his head, and put his greasy hair in front of the background wall. several poses.For a moment, the lights were dazzling and the cameras clicked.

While busy busy, the atmosphere was suddenly disturbed, the staff became highly tense, and even the director got up from his chair—a man walked into the studio surrounded by bodyguards, and his appearance was unanimously agreed by the director and the others Welcome or something.

Zong Yuheng was exposed to the sun under the background wall, it was very hot, and no one cared about him, so he walked to the side and silently looked at this new big shot.

The most eye-catching one is a high-quality Tang suit and long hair tied behind his head. At first glance, his age and gender are a bit ominous, but at a second glance, he can be seen as a man with a lot of aura. Zong Yuheng is very interested in the entertainment industry I don't know much about it, but I still feel that this person looks familiar. Where have I seen it?

Kevin came over to touch up his makeup, and by the way, he gave him a lesson, "You don't even know that one over there?——Chen Molan! Among the Chinese movie stars in the country of rice, he is the one who has a superlative status!"

Zong Yuheng thought about it again, and suddenly realized—has he ever seen a movie starring this person before!He plays the godfather of a killer organization or something.

He widened his eyes and watched with interest, and found that the other party looked a bit like a gangster godfather under the screen.Although the face is expressionless, the eyebrows are considered warm, and there is nothing scary in every gesture, but the aura is cold and unapproachable, and no one feels too close to him-the staff perform their duties and are very compact. busy, don't bother.

However, not everyone in this incident was shocked by Chen Molan's underworld elite boss Fan. At this moment, Zong Yuheng, who was already dressed up as the young master of the four major families, bravely leaned over, holding the The paper and pencil said: "Hello, I am a model who will cooperate with you later. I have seen your movie before, and the acting is really good-may I have an autograph?"

Everyone froze a bit, waiting carefully for Chen Molan's reaction. Although there were no rumors that this man had a violent personality, they were inexplicably afraid that he would get angry or carry out an assassination afterwards. The worst thing was to turn his face on the spot It's enough to walk away.

A bodyguard wearing a black overcoat stepped forward and tried to stop him. Chen Molan raised his hand, and the man stopped, bowed slightly and stepped aside.

Chen Molan looked at Zong Yuheng. Zong Yuheng casually put one hand in his trouser pocket, and handed a pen and paper with the other, looking at him naturally.

Chen Molan didn't say anything in the end, took the pen and paper and signed it in a fluttering manner, and handed it back.

Zong Yuheng shook the paper and looked at it, as if checking whether the handwriting was clear or something, then nodded and said, "Thank you." Then he walked away.

Kevin broke into a cold sweat, pulled Zong Yuheng aside and secretly said, "You are so courageous! Don't you know that there are many rumors behind Chen Molan?!"

Zong Yuheng slapped the signed paper and said, "I don't know."

Chen Molan said: "Young Master Zong...the ignorant are fearless, do you know why everyone dare not provoke him? Apart from his fame, what is more important is that it is rumored that the leaders of the Chinese gangsters who have risen in North America in the past two years have extraordinary relationships with him , Some people even say that he is the brains behind the gang leader or something."

Zong Yuheng thought it was legendary, but that was all. "The rumors are rumors after all, I think he is good." He raised his signature.

Chen Molan doesn't need to change clothes, his outfit is OK, only a little modification on his face can fit the neo-classical theme.

And Zong Yuheng's character design is a pretentious character who combines the second generation of rich officials and second generations of aristocrats.

In one scene, he is sitting in a gorgeous high-backed chair in a leisurely manner, with his face slightly sideways, resting his chest on one hand.

The director shouted below: "Show a little decadent and noble temperament!"

Zong Yuheng didn't know what it was like to be "decadent and noble", and was a little at a loss.

The director was also anxious, "Be more yuppie!"

"Yuppie" is not better understood than "decadent and noble", okay? —— Zong Yuheng was even more at a loss. After tossing around for a while, he became tired. Regardless of the director's excitement, he maintained that posture and his eyes were slightly empty. "I'm a little sleepy..." He thought wildly.

"Ca! ——very good! That's the feeling!" The director finally let this pass, and said with a sigh of relief, "Just now I was worried about your acting skills, it seems that you are still very savvy!"

Zong Yuheng continued to let go a little bit, and didn't say anything until all came back.

……

At dawn, work was finally over, Zong Yuheng left with heavy steps, thinking about the income that was about to come into his account, he felt better.He knew now that it was not easy to make a living in this world alone.However, it's not easy for anyone, so he shouldn't have any extra complaints.

He slowly walked into the bakery like a young magician who was exhausted after a night of magic, and greeted Ouyang Xiaohua weakly. He had known by phone earlier that she had sent Zong Doudou to school.

Zong Yuheng said: "This time I will trouble you again, thank you."

Ouyang Xiaohua said heartily: "Xiao Zong, please don't be polite to me. There are only two of us in the store, of course we have to take care of each other, besides, Doudou is a clever and sensible child, and it doesn't take much trouble to take care of him."

Zong Yuheng didn't say anything else, just took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Yesterday when I was filming a commercial, I met a celebrity. I remember you said you liked him when we chatted, so I asked for it for you." Signature Zhang, can you see if it is him?"

Ouyang Xiaohua quickly wiped her hand that was full of full marks, opened it, and after careful identification, her eyes were round and her mouth was closed, "This is..." I was so excited that I didn't know what to do," Chen Molan wrote sign?!"

Zong Yuheng said: "That's right, it's him—it seems that I remember correctly."

Ouyang Xiaohua almost jumped up like a girl, and then pulled Zong Yuheng to ask about Chen Molan himself, "Do you know? I have liked him since he was in the TV series, and his performance of Duan Fei is too accented." BLABLA..."

Zong Yuheng thought with a wry smile, no matter how old a woman is, she still has the heart of a girl.

The author has something to say: Uh... For the background of Chen Molan, please refer to "I'm Gone in the Past of Rebirth". Those who have read it can also make up their minds about the identity of the leader of the recently rising North American Chinese gang...

In addition, Chen is just a cameo in friendship, but the cameo is a bit meaningful.
