Chapter Thirteen Ambition The bell rang and the director dismissed the team on the spot.
Zhuang Xiao got into Mr.
Pei's RV.
Zhuang Xiao handed him two tubes of different brands of bruise ointment: "Is your face still healthy?"
Pei Yan held up a mirror and took a look at it: "It's okay, it's not disfigured, and you still have to rely on your face to make a living."
A particularly tacky sentence flashed through Zhuang Xiao's mind for no apparent reason: You kid can obviously make a living by relying on your face, but you still work so hard.
You are quite capable and refuse to admit defeat.
Pei Yan couldn't help but say: "My face can be said to have gone through strong winds and waves.
It has gnawed the ground, eaten dirt, knocked against iron railings, and received the one-foot red gift from Mr.
Zhuang."
Zhuang Xiao said: "My Yizhang Hong didn't use much force.
You can't help but hit it yourself."
The two were talking more and more casually, and Pei Yan said angrily: "I can't help but fight you.
I didn't fight you with all my strength last time."
After Pei Yan finished the show, he took off the ridiculous fake wig and revealed his bald head again.
Zhuang Xiao suddenly felt that the bald head was still pleasing to the eye, and his personality was also real.
He looked very silly and unattractive when wearing the wig.
Pei Yan squeezed some ointment into the palm of her hand and looked in the mirror: "How do you apply this medicine?"
Zhuang Xiao said: "Just wipe it on like this, it won't work."
Pei Yan muttered softly: "I don't know English words, I can't understand the instructions for use, and I don't know how to wipe."
Isn't it just ointment?
There's nothing I can't apply Pretending to be garlic anymore is like having cerebral palsy.
Zhuang Xiao wiped the ointment from his hand, not wanting to waste it.
The ointment will be hot when you rub it in, and when your palms are in contact with each other, it will be hot when you rub it.
Zhuang Xiao pulled his face and put a big hand on the bruise on the side of his face.
He didn't rub it hard, but pressed it against it for a long time, allowing the medicine and heat to slowly dissipate.
It was a tight fit, but the technique was very light.
The heat from the palm prints made people's faces feel hot.
It was rare for Pei Yan to shut up silently.
He pressed his face against Zhuang Xiao's hand and looked at each other, not to break the silence that seemed like time had stood still.
He then lifted up the collar of his vest and asked Zhuang Xiao to help him brand his back shoulders.
He didn't mean anything else.
His hands couldn't reach it and it hurt.
Zhuang Xiao squeezed out a lot of ointment this time, and his hand strength became stronger.
Pei Yan's back was covered with green, and he felt pain, pleasure, and spicy all over his body.
It's hard to describe, but there is one feeling that he felt for sure.
It would have been better not to bring an assistant.
Haha "Thank you."
Pei Yan said.
"I'm so green, I'm afraid I won't be able to cover it up with white powder tomorrow," Zhuang Xiao said with a smile.
Pei Yan picked up two opened packages of snacks from his bed.
He had all kinds of snacks in his RV and ate them non-stop during breaks from work to replenish calories and not gain weight.
After all, he is still young, and he always looks like a hungry wolf who has not had enough to eat.
He pulled out spicy beef strips.
Zhuang Xiao subconsciously reached out to take it.

"Hey, your hands are covered with ointment."
Pei Yan took it away again, grabbed several beef strips, and handed them directly to the other person's mouth.
Zhuang Xiao opened his mouth and ate the handful of beef strips, leaving Pei Yan silently staring at the man's face, lips and trembling Adam's apple for a long time.
Zhuang Xiao reminded him at that time: "You are new here and you are not familiar with many things.
It is better to bring one or two assistants and your manager when you join the filming team.
He can take care of you."
Pei Yan smiled and said, "Just take care of me."
Zhuang Xiao shook his head: "Take your agent with you."
Pei Yan understood what Zhuang Xiao was implying.
As a newcomer on the set, you are alone and can easily be "bullied" and take advantage of you.
The director and the film crew are clearly bullying you, they are too harsh in their employment.
Zhuang Xiao added: "Don't call me sir, I will call you by your name later."
Pei Yan smiled and said, "In which profession are you the senior?"
Zhuang Xiao got out of the car and turned around to sneer at him: "The seniors in our circle are all lying on the bed with broken arms and legs, struggling to take care of themselves.
I'm not disabled to that point yet.
I'm just like you, I can't do anything, don't do it."
Call me senior."
Pei Yan smiled and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."
That night, Pei Yan did not ask Zhuang Xiao out for dinner.
Zhuang Xiao didn't invite him to dinner or socialize.
Filming here is just like going to work.
We are just working colleagues and helping each other.
But work is work, and private life is private life, and they will not be confused, especially for people like Zhuang Xiao.
Pei Yan also had something important on his mind, so this time he took his manager Johnny Wu with him and went straight to the studio boss's office to talk at night.
There is no official statement on the matter of being a military substitute.
Is he, Pei Yan, the one who suffers secret losses?
He does not suffer any losses.
His attitude was very clear: There was no provision in the contract for me to be a stunt double for the leading actor, so I was not given the money.
Why should I be a stunt double for Tony Axas?
The producer quickly laid out generous conditions in front of everyone: it was indeed not in the contract.
If there were temporary special needs during the filming process, additional terms and money could be added.
Johnny Wu talks to the other party, how much can you add?
With professional agents on hand to lay out the legal terms of the Screen Actors Guild regarding working hours, the producers did not dare to bully Pei Yan, a newcomer, to cross the ocean, so they promised to supplement the contract to double the original salary, plus Martial arts extra allowance red envelope As a Chinese actor, Pei Yan plays a small supporting role.
His salary is cheap, far worse than the male and female leading actors, and even more incomparable than those dazzling big stars.
He earns only a fraction of what they earn.
The double salary, just from US$600,000 to US$1.2 million, is not even as good as his domestic salary.
Pei Yan sat motionless on the sofa, one leg on the other's knee, squinting at the room full of people: "I don't want to increase the price, I want to star."
The production staff were stunned.
The newcomer was too aggressive and demanding.
Who the hell is short of money?
Among those who come to Hollywood to make foreign soy sauce, which one comes for money?
That's what Pei Yan meant, saying: "The salary is 1.2 million US dollars.
I will play the leading role for you.
I will do all the fighting scenes myself.
I can do it better than the other one."

Slowly, those people began to comfort him tactfully: It's good to have goals and ambitions, kid, but the leading role has been decided.
The crew has been preparing for a year and has been filming for three weeks.
It is impossible to change the cast.
Pei Yan refused to give in: "Why can't we change people?
We have been filming for three weeks.
Substituting people will cause losses.
If we continue filming, the crew will suffer greater losses and spend more in the later stages.
Businessmen understand this and stop the losses in time."
"I can play better than him, and my acting is not bad.
I'm not handsome enough."
Pei Yan sat tall and looked around the room.
He was so confident that the producers looked at each other and laughed.
It was a group of middle-aged white men, who were well-known figures in the circle.
They talked very politely, without any hurry, and maintained their demeanor.
Finally, they said to him tactfully: "We still believe that under the current circumstances, it is up to you to act like this."
It’s not very suitable for an actor to star in this film.
Of course, you are a very good kung fu star, Ian, you are very dedicated, and we love working with you.”
Pei Yan raised his buttocks and turned around and left the room.
He knew that today's conversation would not be promising.
He also understood the underlying meaning of the other person's words.
The implication was: This has nothing to do with whether you are good or not, whether you are hardworking and dedicated, or whether you perform well or not.
From the very beginning, this film was never prepared for an actor like you to be the male lead.
You had no chance in the first place and were not among the candidates.
It's that simple.
Pei Yan also has a temper, he is unhappy and unhappy, and he always has this temper in front of everyone.
Johnny Wu followed him out of the house and grabbed him: "Hey, Lao Pei, you can leave it to me to talk.
You can't be so arrogant and just break up the conversation with me.
The filming of the film still has to continue."
Pei Yan said: "I fulfill the contract written in black and white.
I only film my own character's scenes.
I don't care about other people's scenes."
Fat Cha followed him out of the room and put his arms around his neck in the corridor: "You brat, you have such a bad temper."
Pei Yan glanced at the old guy with a gray beard: "Yeah, what's the matter?"
The old guy said: "You have a bigger temper than me."
Pei Yan said angrily: "You are now the director, cameraman, service manager, and logistics all by yourself."
"Spare me, I will never do the boring work of those idiots in service and logistics."
Fei Cha laughed and touched the back of his bare head, "Boy, I really like your temper."
Pei Yan pouted and felt aggrieved: "If you like me, you don't need me to star."
Fat Cha beat Tony up in front of him, and comforted him by saying: "The situation is like this, I can't make the decision to replace the person, but this movie can't be blinded.
Please finish it properly for me."
Movie, don’t fucking let me lose my life at night” Pei Yan had no bargaining chips anymore and thought for a moment: "Let me be a stuntman.
I want three times the salary.
You can increase it to two million U.S. dollars for me, after tax."
The old guy glared and cursed: "How dare you sit on the ground and raise the price?"
Johnny Wu had been sticking his head behind the two of them at this time and was interpreting immediately.

When he heard Pei Yan's asking price, he was trembling and winked desperately.
Pei Yan ignored him and just gestured with his fingers.
Please increase it to two million, after tax.
Pei Yan said: "I'm not going to kill you, my price is this in mainland China, am I not worth this money?"
Fei Cha gave a slight hint with his eyes: "You go and ask the producer for the price.
I don't think it's expensive for you, so I won't stop you."
Pei Yan also looked like a rogue: "Big daddy, go and help me negotiate.
You will definitely be able to negotiate the price.
I will take the photo for you seriously and professionally."
The old and cunning Charles glared at Pei Yan.
He was helpless in the face of Mr.
Pei, who was much thicker than him.
He squeezed his shoulder hard and said, "Sure, you will act well for me.
We will start work on time tomorrow morning.
It will be your highlight.
I will I am very optimistic about your future.
I will ask you to be the male lead in the next blockbuster."
Pei Yan smiled and glanced at the other party: "It's settled."
The old guy slapped him hard on the back, and his hand was quite strong: "It's settled, baby."
No one is here for the money.
Pei Yan later thought about why he came to this bottle of soy sauce.
One was for career prospects and ambition to develop; the other was that he wanted to cooperate with Mr.
Zhuang.
He didn't have any more thoughts, so he cooperated with Zhuang Xiao and the Zhuangjiaban team, and even though he was covered in bruises, he didn't lose money even if he paid for it.
This was what he wanted to shoot, and finally he didn't have to hang up with the Qing palace pigtails in soap operas and travel through time.
The princesses collectively pretended to be crazy and acted stupidly.
That kind of drama loses their IQ after being filmed too much.
It's so stupid.
On the set today, the stunt team brought in a helicopter.
A ladder was thrown out from the door of the cabin, and the scene fell from the sky in a thrilling way.
Times have changed, and hand-to-hand combat is not enough.
This kind of movie is just about piling up money, and the audience wants to watch the hot scenes.
The helicopter hovered over "Chinatown", which was a dilapidated alley temporarily built on the set.
There were many vendors and shops with Chinese signs on both sides of the alley.
It was dilapidated and had an ancient feel, and the shed scene was quite realistic.
Now, a group of martial arts practitioners call Tony's classmate "mopping the floor" in private.
Sha Yunfei put his hands on his waist while working and gasped: "I just wanted to teach him a wave-stepping bandeau style.
Is it easy?
I wiped out a bunch of black fingerprints on the chest of my white undershirt."
Sarisheng asked: "Where did he wipe it?"
Sha Yunfei raised his eyes and said, "Xiao Sa, try it and teach me."
Sarisheng looked wary and cold: "I won't go."
The boy next to him laughed and said: "Our Master Sha was molested by the boy who mopped the floor.
He didn't teach him how to use the boxing after a long time.
He's very old.

It's all in vain."
Pei Shaoxia was standing not far away, fastening the safety rope, and snorted: "Old tofu is delicious."
Sha Yunfei replied: "It tastes so good, don't you think it's too chewy?"
Pei Yan said with a smile: "He is muscular and his bones are hard and chewy."
Sha Yunfei said: "Whose old tofu have you chewed?
You have such a strong taste, hum."
A group of young martial arts guys were joking happily on the set and working hard.
Pei Yan said in her heart, no matter what, I still like Lao Doufu who has a sense of maturity and vicissitudes.
However, he only dared to make a joke about this chewy but not chewy joke on the unrelated Master Sha.
Sha Yunfei gestured there: "Hey, didn't you just let him push me with his left palm and put his right hand around my waist to make me fall?
In the end, I didn't fall.
That kid got down on the ground and practiced again and again.
He couldn't move at all.
I just lie down and roll on the grass.
I have studied seriously, but I am still stubborn.
How can I compete with the boss later?"
How else would it be called "mopping the floor".
Anyway, the other party didn't understand the nickname.
When he heard it was called "mopping the floor", he thought it was because the martial arts accent of these dealers was too bad and their pronunciation was not accurate.
Another boy said: "Master, don't worry about mopping the floor.
You will compete with our boss later in the battle.
Anyway, it's not mopping the floor.
It's Mr.
Pei.
Mr.
Pei is accurate with his fists and kicks, and he won't kick randomly."
Pei Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure of my feet and I won't knock the eggs out of anyone's basket."
A group of people laugh.
"So, you still have to be a protagonist with lines.
You can make money by taking a close-up of your face or posing."
Sha Yunfei glanced at Sa Risheng beside him, "Xiao Sa, your looks are enough.
I want to You have to work harder to get ahead, don’t spend your whole life getting to where I am, master, without ever saying a word on camera.”
Pei Yan thought to himself at that time, your Grandpa Pei has already got his lines, why don't you have to come here to be a stand-in?
Sometimes it feels really bitter and difficult.
This is not to make soy sauce.
I have used all my strength to dig into the ground to drill for oil.
He also often narcissistically thinks that there will be an easier way to make money than it is now.
I am also young, beautiful and talented.
I can just play with my personality, act in a few idol dramas, and hold a concert.
No matter how bad your singing skills are, you don’t have to worry.
You can make money by appearing on major variety shows and making fun of them.
I just love this business and like this food, but if I don’t like it enough, who would be willing to endure this hardship?
Filming on the set continues.
There were stuntmen on the helicopter, but the director of the big boss scene didn't let Zhuang Xiao do it himself.
Zhuang Xiao took a walkie-talkie from the assistant director and kept communicating with the people on the helicopter, shouting.

"Don't stop too hastily when you come over, pay attention to the angle."
"The speed in the past few trips was too strong.
It was easy for you to crash down and hit the roof balcony directly."
"You still need to lift the ladder when you come down.
Iian is on the balcony below.
You have to raise the ladder correctly.
Otherwise, if Ian jumps from here, the car will drive to the white frame."
Pei Yan listened to his name echoing in the studio from a distance, and Zhuang Xiao kept calling his name.
It was a strange feeling, after all, the other party never called him by his name in person.
Zhuang Xiao didn't even look at him.
There was no eye contact between the two of them.
They only communicated with each other in their minds about the next action scene.
How to run on the balcony, how to grab the ladder, and how to jump to the truck downstairs without verbal communication.
Everyone knows how to shoot action scenes and how to move.
Zhuang Xiao sometimes did Master Sha's work, and everything was arranged for him.
After a long time, he twisted his neck back from staring at Zhuang Xiao and moved his shoulders back and forth, left and right.
If you twist his neck again, his neck will stiffen, which will affect his performance today.
Pei Yan's makeup and dress are exactly the same as those of the leading actor Tony.
It's almost impossible to tell who is who from behind, and it's almost too real.
There are now two male protagonists "Tang Yi" on the set.
His own villain scene has been almost filmed for a long time, but the last scene where he is beaten and vomits blood and receives a box lunch is still behind and has not been filmed yet.
Now the scenes are all performed by the male lead.
Each group was in its place, the chatter everywhere on the set suddenly stopped, and everyone got into serious working mode.
The members of the explosion team, smoke team and blast team hid in corners out of sight of the camera, waiting for instructions.
The roar of the engine resounded through the sky, the streets were filled with sand and rocks, and the big guy with steel and iron bones tried to crush his flesh and body.
The ladder was thrown down and rolled up in the strong wind.
The stuntman was almost swept three miles away, which was very thrilling.
In the next shot, Zhuang Xiao finally went into battle in person.
The big boss, with his long hair wrapped in thick smoke, was shooting a row of rooms with a gun on the violently shaking ladder.
Pei Yan was behind the glass door in the balcony, looking sideways at Zhuang Xiao.
He waited for the figure that fell from the sky to kill him, waiting for an opportunity to kill him.
