007 Ximen Qing who fought side by side with Liangshan heroes
On February 18, more than a week had passed since Cao Xuan won the role.
Just in time to finish work early, Cao Xuan simply made an appointment with Zhang Chong and Sun Jiang to fulfill his previous promise to treat guests.
Near the Xinwu Film and Television Base, there are some restaurants specially opened for the base. Many actors will go there to have their teeth cleaned after work.
Cao Xuan and the others looked around and finally selected a mid-to-high-end restaurant.
When three people go to a restaurant, four dishes and one soup are usually enough, but after all, it is a treat, so Cao Xuan specially added two more dishes, so if you can't eat them, you can take them away.
Prices in 1997 were much higher than in previous years, but compared to later generations they were still quite affordable.
Vegetarian dishes basically cost 3 to 5 yuan, and meat dishes ranged from 8 to 20 yuan. Cao Xuan ordered six dishes and one soup, which cost less than 80 yuan. Counting two bottles of white wine, it was just over 100 yuan.
This amount makes it easy and enjoyable for Cao Xuan, who has already received 35% of Ximen Qing's salary and has a net worth of four figures.
The food was served very quickly in the restaurant, and within a short while, Cao Xuan and the other three were pushing cups and changing cups.
Today's meal is actually not only a celebration party for Cao Xuan, but also a farewell banquet for Zhang Chong and Sun Jiang.
The Lantern Festival will be in a few days. After the Lantern Festival, a large number of local extras will return to the Xinwu Film and Television Base. Local extras are paid low and don't have to worry about food and accommodation. Naturally, they are more popular with the crew of "Water Margin".
By then, except for a few elites who will be the temporary replacements for the Beijing extras such as Zhang Chong, the rest will probably have to pack their bags and return to Beijing.
In fact, with Cao Xuan's current status, it would be difficult to leave both of them behind as a favor, but leaving Zhang Chong alone would not be a big problem.
However, Zhang Chong's girlfriend returned to Beijing after the Chinese New Year, and this guy was eager to go back to "Ye Yu's bed", even if he was asked to stay, he would not do it.
As for Sun Jiang, although Cao Xuan did not have a close relationship with him, if he spoke, Cao Xuan would not stand idly by.
But judging from Sun Jiang's intentions, he seems to have little interest in staying in Xinwu.
In fact, it is understandable that although staying in Xinwu is stable and you may earn more, the crew is very strict and you either work or sleep every day.
For Sun Jiang, who has an out-of-the-box personality and loves to play, he obviously prefers the lively and prosperous capital city.
Since the two of them were not interested in this, Cao Xuan would naturally not interfere. They had a small meal of food and wine to say goodbye. We will see you in the capital in Japan.
The three of them chatted while eating, and the battle ended in more than an hour. The main reason was that Sun Jiang's drinking capacity was too poor, and he became confused after drinking 52% liquor in less than three ounces.
Cao Xuan and the two of them had no fun drinking together, and since they had to go on stage tomorrow, they simply paid the bill and left.
Supporting Sun Jiang, who was already a little dizzy, as soon as he went out, he heard a group of people arguing fiercely at the entrance of another restaurant not far away.
The matter had nothing to do with him, and Cao Xuan had no intention of watching the excitement. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Chong pointed at the quarrelsome group of people in surprise.
"Aren't those the leading actors of our crew?"
Cao Xuan looked back and took a closer look, and found that they were indeed the starring actors from the "Water Margin" crew.
The leader is actor captain Zang Jinsheng, and next to him is Zhao Xiaorui, who plays Li Kui. Most of the others are Liangshan heroes or actors who play important roles, including Wu Song, Ding Haifeng, Pan Jinlian, Wang Siyi, and Wu Dalang Song Wenhua, whom Cao Xuan knows.
Cao Xuan can't leave now.
They are all colleagues in the same crew. If someone else gets into trouble, he will turn around and run away. If others see him, he will never hang out on the crew of "Water Margin" again.
Cao Xuan asked Zhang Chong to stay where he was and watch Sun Jiang, and went to take a look himself. He also specifically told Zhang Chong that if he saw something was wrong, he should quickly call the police or go back to the crew to call someone.
When he got closer, Cao Xuan saw that the people who were quarreling with Zang Jinsheng and others were a group of young people. Judging from their temperament and dress, they were typical undesirable social elements, commonly known as gangsters.
"Brother Ding, Brother Song, what's going on?"
Cao Xuan went to Ding Haifeng and Song Wenhua, who were familiar with each other, to ask about the situation. Ding Haifeng and Ding Haifeng were surprised why Cao Xuan was here. Cao Xuan explained, and Ding Haifeng told Cao Xuan the situation with an indignant look.
In fact, this matter is very simple. The actors of "Water Margin" usually have the habit of having dinner together, and it is the same today.
Unfortunately, when I went out after dinner today, I bumped into this group of gangsters. They saw Wang Siyi, one of the actors, was pretty, so they started teasing her.
This is causing trouble. The crew of "Water Margin" is a group of rough old men. They only have a few flowers and they are treated as treasures. There is no way they can tolerate these gangsters.
The grumpy Zhao Xiaorui directly reprimanded the gangster. He was scolded and couldn't lose face, so the two parties fought.
………
"Nong Niang spreads the plague. If I don't give you some color, I really don't know how powerful our new Wu Hongxing is."
As soon as Ding Haifeng finished talking to Cao Xuan, the gangsters and Zang Jinsheng over there got into a quarrel, pushing and shoving each other and starting to fight.
Now the actors, who had been holding back their anger, couldn't hold back anymore and rushed forward.
Cao Xuan was quick-thinking and asked Wang Siyi and two other actresses to hide aside, and then outflanked them from behind.
First find a lone leather-clothed gangster, casually throw a hidden weapon at him, shake him, and while he ducks his head to dodge, he directly strikes the opponent with a loose lightning whip, hitting the opponent's bag. Then, he attacks the leather-clothed gangster who has lost his fighting ability.
A violent beating and a successful kill.
After that, Cao Xuan took advantage of Wu Du's head to fight a long-haired gangster. He attacked from behind without respecting martial ethics, pulled his hair down hard, and won a double kill.
After Cao Xuan killed two of them, the others basically ended the battle and won a complete victory.
Speaking of which, this group of gangsters is also unlucky. The actors in "Water Margin" are all fierce.
Hu Yanzhuo, nicknamed the Eastern Hercules, specializes in flying helicopters.
Ruan Xiaowu, a bodybuilding champion, is full of muscles.
Ruan Xiaoer was born in Sanda at Beijing Sports University.
Shi Qian, a national martial arts champion, known as the King of Sticks, and Li Lianjie’s senior brother.
Wu Dalang, the martial arts champion in the Beijing workers' competition.
Wang Ying has practiced martial arts since childhood.
Shi Xiu, a disciple of the Zhanshou sect.
Wang Jin/Yang Xiong are proficient in martial arts and became the image ambassadors of Chinese Shaobei Quan.
Although the remaining actors are not practicing martial arts, since they joined the group, they have been working out and practicing martial arts crazily in order to play their roles well. That is to say, they wear thick clothes in winter, and when they take off their clothes, they are all muscular men.
Just this group of people, not to mention this group of pirated and low-profile young and Dangerous guys, even if you bring the real Chen Haonan and Pheasant here, you will still get beaten.
The gangsters were beaten and fled. Xu Jingyi, who played Wang Ying, was still angry and chased and smashed a gangster's bicycle.
It's better to hide the gold for fear of causing a big fuss, so I'll accept it as soon as possible, count the number of people, and quickly return to the dormitory.
When we returned to the base camp, with the crew as our backers, everyone felt much more relaxed, and the "Liangshan heroes" who had just done justice for Heaven began to review the battle just now.
The one with the most outstanding performance is Jia Shitou, the actor of Hu Yanzhuo. He is tall and strong, and he defeated three enemies one against three, followed by Ruan Xiaowu and Shi Qian, both of whom were knocked down head-on.
Then there is Cao Xuan. Although his methods are not very bright, his achievements are outstanding.
Many people also looked at Cao Xuan in a different light because of this. The young man was fair and fair, but his actions were called black.
Zhao Xiaorui also specifically asked Cao Xuan if he had practiced before. Cao Xuan shook his head honestly.
However, although Cao Xuan had never practiced martial arts, he had many fights.
The high school that Cao Xuan went to was a high school with art education that mainly focused on art students. Many of the art students these days have poor grades. They come to this kind of high school to be art students with a high school diploma. There are few people in the school who are dedicated to studying.
There are many differences in life, and the atmosphere is naturally not good.
The high school was in the city, far away from Cao Xuan's home, and he had no relatives or friends to help him. He was handsome and easily attracted the attention of boys. If he wanted to avoid being bullied, he had to be able to fight.
Later, he came to the capital to work as an extra. In the mid-to-late 1990s, the security situation was far inferior to that of later generations. The extras scrambled for notices or squatted to occupy the territory, and there were often fights.
The more you fight, the better your "kung fu" becomes.
I don’t dare to boast about a head-on duel, but in this kind of melee with dozens of people, Cao Xuan was like a duck in water.
But there is no need to show this to everyone.
Compared to being proficient in fighting, Cao Xuan prefers to be a pretty boy who is "harmless to humans and animals".
But having said that, some special experiences will always solidify and sublimate people's feelings.
Fighting is one of them.
When he woke up the next day, Cao Xuan found that his popularity among the crew of "Water Margin" had suddenly become much better.
Many leading actors greeted Cao Xuan warmly when they saw him, and their attitude towards him changed from unfamiliar to friendly and casual. Ding Haifeng and Zang Jinsheng even invited him to sit down and eat together.
If knowing about the fight in advance would help him actively integrate into the crew, Cao Xuan would definitely have worked harder yesterday. He still had many unique tricks that he had not yet had time to use.
The leather-clad gangster who still had some pain in his balls said: "..."
The long-haired gangster with a small bald patch: "..."
