Actor: My Entertainment Era

"The Witch" held a wrap party outdoors at the hotel and invited the crew of "The Piano Tuner" which was also filming in Chiang Mai to come along.

When the two crews come together, the lineup is luxurious.

Liu Huohua, Li Bingbing, Liu Yifei, Zhang Yuanjun, which one of them is not a good actor at the top of the pyramid of Chinese film industry? Who doesn't have a few Best Actor (Best Actress) trophies?

Jackie Chan's cameo scene hasn't started yet. He has to finish promoting "The Foreigner" after the National Day before coming to Thailand. Otherwise, this lineup would be even better.

"You only remember to invite us now." As soon as they met, Li Bingbing questioned Sun Zhonghuai.

"My fault, my fault. I was really too busy and neglected to invite you to be my guest in advance." Sun Zhonghuai bowed and apologized, "I will punish myself with three cups of wine later. I will punish myself with three cups of wine."

"Mr. Movie King, long time no see." Li Bingbing greeted Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun played dumb and said to Liu Huohua, "I'm calling you, Movie King."

Liu Huohua said: "Call you."

"My name is not Movie King, my last name is Zhang." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

"Come here and pretend with me." Li Bingbing said with a smile, and said to Liu Yifei, "Why don't you bring your two children?"

"The scene is too noisy, which causes inconvenience." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Li Bingbing sat on the other side of Zhang Yuanjun: "Does this count as traveling on public funds? You're just eating and drinking for free on the crew."

Before Zhang Yuanjun could say anything, Liu Yifei spoke first: "He is considered an idler in our crew. He eats and drinks for free and has been wandering from Shanghai to Thailand. We can't chase him away."

Zhang Yuanjun then spoke up: "Look, the heroine said I was an outsider."

Liu Huohua praised Zhang Yuanjun: "He follows his wife to the crew and helps take care of the children. Most men in the entertainment industry can't do it, if not everyone."

Liu Huohua is a very good actor and is very comfortable in front of the camera, but in private he even stutters a bit when speaking.

Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "I would not want to give birth to twins like this."

When Zhang Yuanjun was filming "Dying to Survive", Liu Yifei was with him in Nanjing; when Liu Yifei was filming "The Witch", Zhang Yuanjun was with her from Shanghai to Thailand. This is known to many people in and outside the circle. When fans outside the circle saw it, most of them thought that the two were in love and cared for each other, which was very sweet. However, many people in the circle even despised Zhang Yuanjun for accompanying Liu Yifei like this.

I feel that Zhang Yuanjun is not a manly person. It's not like he has no money. He can just hire two aunts to help Liu Yifei take care of the children. It won't be tiring for her. A grown man, the No. 1 Chinese film actor, doesn't do his job and stays at home with his wife to take care of the children all day. He is petty.

Liu Huohua asked Zhang Yuanjun what he would do after finishing the filming and returning to China.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Still stay at home with your wife and take care of the kids. What else can you do?"

Liu Yifei said, "Don't talk so nicely. If you have something to do, just go and do it. Don't push everything onto us. It's like I'm the one who stopped you from working."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Actually, I have work. I have two plays waiting to be rehearsed in the theater. When rehearsing last year, the theater took my schedule into consideration and scheduled both plays in the second half of the year."

By the way, Liu Huohua, Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei are colleagues, and all three are actors of the National Theatre.

But Liu and Li chose another path. Liu Yifei still cooperates with the theater every year and does not receive the salary for nothing.

By the way, Zhang Ziyi speaks Mandarin Chinese!
Through simple communication, Li Bingbing discovered that Zhang Yuanjun really just liked performing, and he could act in movies, TV shows, and stage.

It is not to say that actors in the film and television industry are only after fame and money, and are not as pure as actors in dramas, but it is true that many film and television actors, especially many already famous actors, are unwilling to go back to perform in dramas for only five or six hundred or at most two thousand yuan per show, even if they are already very rich.

Zhang Yuanjun is willing to perform and never gets tired of it.

"But that's true. He must have earned enough money for several lifetimes to be able to pursue acting wholeheartedly," Li Bingbing thought to himself.

Liu Yifei was still breastfeeding, so Zhang Yuanjun drank a few more glasses on his wife's behalf. "Yuanjun, Yuanjun, come sing." The hotel provided an outdoor jukebox.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "How can I sing in a Thai KTV?"

"There are Chinese songs," Liu Huohua flipped through the screen, "all old songs from the 1980s and 1990s, including Teresa Teng and Wang Fei."

"I'll sing, I'll sing." Liu Yifei became excited when she heard the princess sing, "Red Bean, hit it, hit it."

Liu Yifei's three KTV tricks are "Red Bean", "Flowing Years" and "I Do". She doesn't even sing her own songs.

"Sometimes, sometimes..."

Zhang Yuanjun was still sitting at the table, drinking a few sips with Yu Hewei, who played the police captain Ma Tianming, Zheng Juan's adulterer in "The Tuner", and laughed: "Every time I go to KTV, they play these few songs. I'm tired of them."

Yu Hewei said: "It's good, singing and relaxing."

Zhang Yuanjun was about to speak.

"Teacher Zhang, I'd like to toast you." Guan Xiaotong said, holding up the glass.

"You've had a lot to drink." Zhang Yuanjun noticed that Guan Xiaotong had drunk several glasses of wine while they were having dinner just now.

"It's okay. I often drink with my dad and grandpa at home." Guan Xiaotong said, "This is just the beginning." He tilted his head back and drank it all.

"Don't be outdone by the little girl." Yu Hewei watched the fun.

Zhang Yuanjun also did not hesitate and drank a glass.

After drinking, Guan Xiaotong did not leave, but sat next to Zhang Yuanjun. The Beijing girl's characteristics of being outgoing and talkative were particularly obvious in her. Under the influence of alcohol, she sat down and started chatting with Zhang Yuanjun and Yu Hewei.

"I've been to Thailand several times, but this is my first time to film a movie. I heard that Thai people are very superstitious, right? They believe in rituals, ghosts, and so on. Teacher Zhang, have you ever seen one?"

Zhang Yuanjun chatted with her: "I visited several temples, but I didn't see any rituals or raising ghosts."

Zhang Yuanjun has not seen it, but he has heard of it. Many people in the entertainment industry believe in this. I heard that some people have been offering sacrifices in Thailand all year round, praying for themselves to become famous and for their opponents not to become famous. There are also some people who are obsessed with hoping for their opponents to die violently.

For this kind of things, you just need to worship them to seek psychological comfort. After that, what will happen will be the same. If you put your hopes on such things, you deserve it if they don't become popular.

The person who had the most common language with Guan Xiaotong at the scene should be Zhao Lusi, who was only one year younger than her, but Guan Xiaotong did not seem to like Zhao Lusi and did not talk to her much. She, a 20-year-old young person, was always talking and laughing with her seniors in the crew.

"Teacher Zhang, you have won so many awards. Which one do you think is the most awesome?" He spoke without restraint in private.

But Zhang Yuanjun certainly didn't expect that the award could be described as awesome.

"If you want to talk about the most awesome award, it must be the Golden Rooster Award." Zhang Yuanjun curled his lips and started to talk. "The Golden Rooster Award is so difficult. Berlin likes films that reflect social reality, Venice likes avant-garde films, and Cannes is more moderate. But you don't know what style the Golden Rooster Award likes. It suddenly gives the award to a movie you've never heard of, and you have no way to argue."

Even though Zhang Yuanjun is the youngest Golden Rooster Award winner, he still feels puzzled and even dissatisfied with some of the Golden Rooster's practices.

To put it nicely, it is open to all kinds of styles, but the Golden Rooster Awards has been running for decades, moving from one place to another, without its own team or style, which is actually quite fatal for an award.

It has no characteristics, which means in a sense, there is nothing to watch. It is a bland evening party that no one would like to watch except regular fans.

Every country has its own political correctness. The outside world won’t say anything if you are a little biased, but just don’t go too far.

If you lay double yolk eggs every time, how can others recognize your value?
The wrap-up party lasted until the early morning, and everyone went back without saying much. (End of this chapter)
