Chapter 411: The great achievements and the great Zuo good person who gave back to his hometown
Returning to the crew, Guo Jinfei and Jiang Chao actually felt a little like they were in another world.
They have experienced a lot in the past half month. Under the guidance of the "tour guide" of the leftist group, they have seen most of the gray areas on the lower streets. :(/
Such an experience, completely different from their previous lives, had a great impact on the two of them.
Guo Jinfei came from an academic background and often participated in drama performances when he was still in college. Later, he entered the drama circle and has been working hard in the drama circle. Then he joined Shanhe and began to slowly become popular.
Jiang Chao was simpler. He joined the army, and then was admitted to the Kongwen Repertory Theater because of his artistic talent. Then he began a military and artistic life that lasted for several years. Later, he met Zuo Le and changed his career to sign a contract with Shanhe.
The two said they climbed up from the bottom, but in fact, the "bottom" they were in was only a relative term.
Not to mention that they are involved in the entertainment industry and are thousands of miles away from the gray areas on the streets.
Frankly speaking, Guo Jinfei and Guo Jinfei were very excited as they had just started to experience life.
Jianghu, it’s very interesting to listen to. The fastest updated PC version::/
But when they arrived, they came into contact with this so-called "street world" step by step, and when they lifted the mysterious veil, they discovered that the reality was very different from what they had imagined before.
To put it bluntly, most of the street gangs are thieves and scoundrels who use various means to make money.
The scammer gang may be relatively more mysterious, but they are also sewer rats and cannot see the light of day.
Dare not commit big evils, but keep doing small evils.
Uninformed outsiders may think their lives are cool and exciting at first glance, but after a little research, their attitude will turn into contempt and disdain.
This kind of "wild people" who claim to be living on the street may have been a bit popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but now they are almost suppressed by the authorities and are struggling to survive in extremely limited gaps.
Except for those who have been hopelessly depraved or those who make a living from this, many of them actually want to clear their names and come ashore and live a normal life.
This is a completely different concept from the protagonist group in their "Mao Liar" script.
Of course, Guo Jinfei and others also understand that as a TV series, "Mao Liang" needs some artistic exaggeration.
Not to mention that the main characters are all elites from a thousand sects, which is very different from the wretched old liars in reality.
Let’s talk about the plot style. “Mao Liang” follows the path of high-intelligence crime. If it were to be filmed according to the real situation, it would be a reality drama reflecting low-level thieves and swindlers.
So after the two experienced life, they had a special chat with Zuo Liao to discuss how to play the two characters' early styles.
The few people discussed it for a long time and decided to let them imitate the style they learned after experiencing life, and then adapt it to the legends of the King of Thieves in the 1980s and 1990s, and then combine it with the character of the "Mao Liar" character.
A "mao deception" that meets the requirements of the plot and has the atmosphere of connecting with the world is combined.
He has poisonous eyes, careful mind, and a greasy mouth; he can disguise, be careful in his actions, and retreat immediately when things go wrong; he is good at craftsmanship, and knows all kinds of skills; he is courageous, has a quick mind, and can hold on at critical moments...
He not only understands the world of rivers and lakes, but also knows how to win with technology and innovation.
Especially the male protagonist Xiaobao, his advantage is that he grew up among swindlers and was familiar with countless street deceptions and strange sects. Later, he was guided and taught by Zhao Ning and inspired by Shaozhuang's chess encounters.
Slowly progressing and growing, he was finally able to master all the skills and achieve the name of "mao liar".
In this experience of life, Jiang Chao himself is not a big problem, he can go or not, but Guo Jinfei is the top priority. If he cannot capture Xiaobao's aura, he will lose part of his character's charm.
Fortunately, Guo Jinfei lived up to Zuo Le's expectations. In just half a month, he learned some tricks.
………
On the third day after Guo Jinfei and Guo Jinfei came back, Zuo Le made time to shoot an outdoor scene specifically to see Guo's achievements.
Because the background of "Mao Liang" is set in 2010, Zuo Le did not shoot in Quancheng City this time, but placed some of the exterior scenes in a small town under Quancheng that developed slightly slowly.
The scene I filmed today was from the early stage of "Mao Liar". After Xiaobao joined the team, he always wanted to personally plan and direct an operation because of his clever mind.
Originally, according to Zhao Ning's temperament, it didn't matter if the members were responsible for planning once.
But Xiaobao was a little impetuous and young at this time, trusting his own intelligence and excellent reaction ability when encountering problems. This was a very irrational behavior for Zhao Ning, who was prudent and often prepared ABCD and countless backup plans to prevent unexpected events.
In order to suppress Xiaobao's temper, Zhao Ning made a bet with Xiaobao. She and Xiaobao would each bring a partner. They would go out without a penny in the morning and come back at six in the evening to see who made more money.
If Xiaobao wins, she agrees to let Xiaobao plan a team action.
The two quickly chose a partner and started their own show operation journey.
First, Zhao Ning started off very steadily. She picked up a business card, then made an excuse to take a free express box from the express station, disguised it, and used the "cash on delivery" routine to defraud 20 yuan of express delivery.
fee.
After that, she and An Ning went to the mahjong parlor and relied on their tacit understanding and body movements to slowly grow their 20 yuan gambling capital.
Ordinary people would have said "f*ck" when they saw Zhao Ning, but for Xiaobao, it could only be regarded as quite satisfactory.
Again, Xiaobao has been messing around in the streets since he was a child. Making money from the streets is a skill he has been pondering since he was a child. Zhao Ning bet with him on this, which is a mistake.
Xiaobao randomly found an abandoned car lamp, and then used the magnet inside the lamp to suck out a coin from the sewer.
He took the coin and went to play the claw machine. With his extraordinary skills, he quickly grabbed a few boxes of cigarettes. He took the cigarettes to the supermarket and exchanged them for money, and then went to play the slot machine.
In just over half an hour, Xiaobao's net worth was over 100 and he had obtained the starting capital.
At this time, Xiaobao noticed that someone was gambling on billiards in the billiards hall next to him. He winked at Dongdong and the two of them entered the door one after the other.
………
It was all a one-man show before, but this scene is where we can see Guo Jinfei’s ability. Zuo Le sat behind the monitor early in the morning, and two senior extras took their place.
Zuo Le said "start", and Guo Jinfei, wearing a leather jacket in the winter, covered with trivial parts, started to enter the scene with a gangster's steps.
At this time, Guo Jinfei was acting in a play within a play, with a blind look on his face, but his eyes kept glancing at the two fat sheep that he had long admired.
Although the target has been set, Xiaobao did not act rashly, but pretended to wander around and secretly observed the target's level.
After he knew what he was doing, he quickly exchanged glances with Dongdong, and the two started practicing gambling.
During the gambling process, Xiaobao shouted and screamed from time to time with an arrogant attitude, which was actually to attract the attention of the fat sheep.
Sure enough, the two targets were quickly attracted by Xiaobao's noises, and then saw his bluffing and irritable attitude. They slowly lowered their vigilance, and then discovered Xiaobao's "poor" billiards skills.
Greed is on the rise.
So, when Xiaobao, a rookie in their eyes, failed miserably several times and further aroused the greed of the Fat Sheep Sect, Dongdong found an excuse to leave. Xiaobao, who was "alone", was naturally warmly invited over.
The fat sheep fell into the trap, but Xiaobao did not kill it immediately. Instead, he put the bait first and lost a small amount, so that the fat sheep could taste the sweetness. He felt more and more that he had met a "finance master" who was stupid and rich.
At this time, Xiaobao pretended to lose and wanted to make a comeback, clamoring to raise the stakes. The fat sheep who had already tasted the sweetness would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.
But this time, Xiaobao began to slowly close the net, and narrowly won the first set.
There are previous examples of Xiaobao's repeated misfortunes. Sheep will preconceptionally think that Xiaobao is lucky. Even if he has doubts, because of the gambler's comeback mentality, 80% of the time he will choose to gamble again.
Xiaobao still narrowly won, and then quickly dodged.
In fact, at this time, smart people may come to their senses, but others who are slow to react or lose a red eye may choose to continue gambling.
Some people may ask, since you can make money, why don't you continue to rely on this trick to accumulate chips to win the night's gambling.
There is an issue of "degree" involved here. Qianmenxing is very clever and pays attention to quitting as soon as it is good, and withdrawing when the benefits are almost achieved. If you have to dig for the remaining meat, it will easily overturn if something goes wrong.
Xiaobao's approach is undoubtedly smart. Now the other party is just suffering a small loss and has no reason to use it, so the chance of falling out is small.
If the game continues, the other party will be completely disappointed, or they may realize something is wrong, quietly call a few people to block the door, and directly come to force them.
He is a liar, and his sweet words will not be able to withstand the iron fists of others.
A thousand people should avoid greed. This is a wise saying that countless people have paid for with their own blood. If your eyes are blinded by the word "greed", it will be a matter of time before you fall into trouble.
Of course, there is another factor besides this.
That is, this plot requires Xiaobao to use all possible means to make money, show his skills and some street tricks, and then compete with Zhao Ning in a battle of wits and courage.
If Xiaobao can easily complete the task by simply playing billiards, how can we film a TV series?
Therefore, even if Xiaobao can continue to win safely, the script will force him to stop and change to another project.
…………
After leaving the billiard hall, Xiaobao's net worth increased four to five times, and he also had the capital to make money faster.
In this scene, Xiaobao and Dongdong team up to cheat other poker players out of their money.
Although this routine seems to be somewhat similar to Zhao Ning's method, in fact, Xiaobao's skills at the gambling table are far superior to Zhao Ning's.
Zhao Ning and An Ning's "Thousand Skills" are just simple movements and eye contact, and their effect is limited. They all rely on the tacit understanding of the two people. Not to mention the low efficiency, they can only fool ordinary people. If they encounter an old man at the gambling table, they will immediately stop.
vegetable.
And Xiaobao's ability can already deceive some experienced gamblers. Coupled with the cooperation of Dongdong, a fast-handed thief, he quickly kills everyone at the table.
Zhao Ning's winnings were all ordinary people with a limited amount of chips, while the old gamblers Xiaobao played against often had hundreds or even thousands of money, and the speed of making money was very different.
In the scene at the gambling table, Guo Jinfei and Jiang Chao performed very well, with their eyes, movements, and state of mind being extremely brilliant.
Even if it's just the unedited original film, you can feel a bit of the tense atmosphere from the gambling game.
The reason why the two acted so vividly was thanks to Zuo Le who arranged for them to experience life. During that half month, they spent more than half of the night in teahouses and mahjong parlors.
Then, under the instructions of the "tour guide", you will know who is playing tricks, and then silently observe from the sidelines, learning to imitate how the other party tricks others step by step.
Because they were studying too seriously, the two of them even attracted the attention of the con man, who thought that they were coming with bad intentions. If Zuo Le hadn't found a good "tour guide", the two sides would have almost had a conflict.
Two excellent professional actors have learned from a scammer at close range for half a month. If they still can't grasp a bit of charm, they don't have to do this job.
After one day's filming, Zuo Le was generally satisfied with Guo Jinfei's performance.
The delay of half a month has not been in vain, and he really has the feeling of being in the street that he wants. Zuo Le feels that he has not picked the wrong person.
The next day, Zuo Le took Wan Qian and the others to finish filming this scene. The original version was an entire episode of the first film, with the appearance of the Fox Organization, and a confrontation between the protagonist group and them.
In order to condense the plot of the first part, the Shanhe version deleted the scene involving the fox organization, mainly the PK interaction within the protagonist group.
Zhao Ning allowed Xiaobao to grow with his final victory. At the same time, he once again demonstrated the strength of the first and second generations of Zhao Ning and Xiaobao's team, and for the first time, he also involved clues to the main plot, paving the way for the following plot.
………
After finishing filming this part of the plot, the time has come to late January, which is about to celebrate the New Year.
Zuo Le has always had a good habit of not working overtime during the Chinese New Year. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the crew of "Mao Liang" also gave employees 6 to 10 days of annual leave based on their travel distance. Everyone went back to their homes and found their mothers.
This year, Lao Zuo's family did not stay in Quancheng during the Chinese New Year, but returned to Zhao City as a group. The main reason was that little Zuo Xuan was born and they did not return to their hometown for the first time. They had to take him to recognize their family.
In addition, relatives and friends at home also wanted to see their children. Zuo Le and Tian Yan thought about it and decided to go back to Zhaoshi as a family to celebrate the New Year.
Zuo Le's return to his hometown caused quite a stir. He is now so famous that he has almost become the pride of Zhao City.
As soon as he showed up in the village, he was surrounded by people who came to see the star. Seven aunts and eight aunts came to visit relatives. The local county leaders also came to visit in person, hoping that Zuo Le would support the construction of his hometown.
Zuo Le sat in the old house for a long time and then hid in the house he bought in the city.
Not to mention the noisy ones, they are all fellow villagers. To put it mildly, it is too harsh to say that everyone looks bad, so they simply run away and wait until the limelight is over before asking the right people.
If there are really difficulties, Zuo Le will not hesitate to lend a helping hand, but he is not the one who wants to take advantage of someone who wants to take advantage of the situation.
As for assisting the construction of his hometown, Zuo Le thought about it for a long time and felt that if he wanted to really do something practical for the people in his hometown, he would build schools and nursing homes.
After taking good care of the problems of children and the elderly, no one in my hometown will say that his surname is "Zuo".
Soon, Zuo Le and Zhao City officials reached an agreement. Zuo Le would spend a large amount of money in his own name every year to build schools and nursing homes in Zhao City to give back to the elders in his hometown.
When the news came out, Zuo Le's already hot reputation in Zhaoshi reached a new level.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as "a certain good person" nowadays, otherwise Zuo Le really hopes to be given the title of "Zuo Great Good Person"...
