Chapter 1628
Offense and Defense Easier
After having dinner with Elizabeth, my friend has been in a very high mood all day.
They walked with light, cheerful steps as they left the restaurant.
Zhang Yuan was very pleased with her condition.
He's a real person, not pretentious at all.
The temperature difference between day and night in Los Angeles is significant, so Zhang Yuan handed her his jacket, which was worn by her in a skirt.
"Oh." Xiaobai gave an American-style expression of gratitude: "You're still such a gentleman."
"I can't let the future leading lady of Hollywood catch a cold."
"Hehehe, don't say that." The other person laughed so hard their nose wrinkled.
They parted ways near her residence, and Zhang Yuan wandered alone.
As night fell, I strolled over to the gym.
We need to move the things from the locker room!
Although his actual battles with the blonde were quite harmonious, he couldn't keep being threatened all the time.
Zhang Yuan cleverly moved, but not completely.
They simply moved the Jaeger suits from Pacific Rim to a different location.
Meanwhile, the ninja stars, samurai swords, and gun models from his own film crew remain in the cabinet.
If we do it this way, if Annie really reports me, she'll need something to report.
I'll just take a few small props; it won't get me sentenced, at most I'll be put in jail.
It would be even more troublesome if the other party reported it, but there was nothing in the cabinet.
This means you've moved!
Leaving a little out of the way makes it seem more real.
This is called making the empty appear real, and the real appear empty.
Mingxiu plank road, dark Chencang.
Hahaha, foreigners!
How can they compare to the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years by our great nation?
After finishing all that, he happily returned to the hotel.
After sitting down, I relaxed while watching TV.
Then he saw a message that shocked him.
"According to information provided by our source, the warehouse of the science fiction film 'Pacific Rim,' which is currently being filmed in a northern studio, has been burglarized."
When Zhang Yuan saw this, he was so startled that he almost dropped the popsicle in his hand.
So, so, so, it was discovered?
This is disgracing our ancestors!
"According to crew members, the crew lost props worth millions of dollars."
Fortunately, the filming schedule was not affected.
The news passed quickly, followed by the release of a murder case.
"That's not right?"
Zhang Yuan patted the back of his head.
The news reports say the losses amount to millions of dollars.
I "took" a costume worth over ten thousand US dollars.
The accounts are not correct!
"That's true." Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment. The systems at home and abroad are different.
Domestic television stations, especially provincial stations, cannot produce news that is careless; they must strive for truthfulness, otherwise they risk being reprimanded by higher authorities.
But it's different in North America, where television stations are all private companies.
Private companies don't care about this or that!
To attract viewers, you need to grab their attention.
Moreover, in order to "reduce costs and increase efficiency", their TV station does not employ a large group of on-site reporters, but relies entirely on informants.
We also have informants in China, but the informants in North America are different.
The informants here are more like content providers; they have their own interview vehicles and film crews, and they're always on the road.
They arrive faster than the police when they see an accident.
The more chaotic the scene, the better. After filming, sell the tapes to the TV station that offers the highest price.
They're playing the role of pure capitalism.
In order to grab attention, the veracity of the content is irrelevant.
Some informants even deliberately create incidents to generate news.
He thought that was probably the case.
As a result, I soon received a phone call.
"Hey Zhang, our film crew's warehouse has been robbed."
Legendary Pictures' Smith called him.
"The losses are at least millions."
Zhang Yuan: ...
Today, the rich heritage of 5000 years of Chinese civilization has been defeated by Commissioner Smith's ambition.
You guys make money really fast!
Damn it, they want to reimburse you tenfold, huh?
"Has the thief been caught?" Zhang Yuan asked, his face grim.
"Under investigation, but the thief damaged the surveillance camera system, damn it!"
"So it should be very difficult to investigate."
"It must have been those Mexican immigrants!"
Okay, okay, you've erased the surveillance footage, so there's no way to prove anything, right?
"The props have been stolen and we need to replenish them. The previous budget might not have been enough. What about you..."
"No money!" he replied angrily before the other person could finish speaking.
Good grief, trying to profit from both sides, huh!
They sold the items themselves, claiming someone had stolen them, and then sought additional funding from investors.
This behavior is quite similar to that of the security guards who steal cables at construction sites.
He firmly refused, telling them to take it or leave it and get lost.
I'm completely numb.
No wonder he came from a bandit background; he swindles people with a perfectly justified and well-founded explanation.
But one thing is certain: I am safe.
It's absolutely impossible to trace it back to him.
Because if the thief is caught, the accounts won't be balanced.
If the accounts can't be balanced, then the only option is to settle the debts.
Therefore, not arresting is the best course of action.
Or maybe they're just going through the motions and never really intend to catch anyone.
Zhang Yuan was so angry that he couldn't sleep for several hours.
The next day, after arriving at the film set and completing training, we filmed the main event, which was the action scene.
This time, we designed two samurai swords for him to combine and play with "whirlwind slash".
It's pretty cringeworthy, but there's nothing you can do about it. You've been paid, so you have to act the way they ask.
Furthermore, the director felt that his training was very successful, and on a whim, he had him take off his clothes and fight again.
At this moment, Elizabeth, who had eaten with him the day before, came to the film crew to return his clothes, namely the coat.
"Wow."
Seeing his action scenes and physique, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
However, as she exclaimed, a similar voice came from beside her.
Turning my head, I saw Annie, a blonde girl in her performance costume.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously, looking as if the heroines shared the same view.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuanyuan saw him from afar and stepped forward while adjusting the lights.
"I had your clothes dry cleaned, they're absolutely clean."
"It's alright, but thank you anyway." He took the clothes and handed them to his assistant.
“Oh, you guys…” The blonde girl stood to the side, hands on her hips, and pointed at the two of them.
“We are friends,” Elizabeth answered first.
At that moment, both women's radars activated simultaneously.
Zhang Yuan sensed something was off and decided it was best to leave.
When did you meet him?
More than a year ago.
"Really? You're so lucky." The blonde woman said enviously.
"You are very lucky to be able to work with him on a film."
"Of course, he's the best."
"Yes, that's right." The two still seemed to share the same opinion, but the harmony was no longer as good as before.
A spark seemed to fly between their two pairs of blue eyes.
At that moment, the two noticed Zhang Yuan chatting enthusiastically with the Cambodian girl.
They gestured occasionally, and both of them laughed happily.
Actually, it was just a normal exchange and filming, and the other party now somewhat admires him, in terms of physical strength.
But these two fair-skinned women see things differently.
Elizabeth was quite happy to see him after not seeing him for a while.
There's a saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
In reality, distance creates beauty.
Getting too close only reveals the other person's flaws.
Everyone burps, farts, and snores.
But after keeping your distance, or after not seeing each other for a while, all that remains in your mind are the other person's good points.
There's nothing wrong with this feeling of attraction; it's fine to be friends.
Once there's competition... a woman's intuition is very sharp.
Whether there's a problem or not, you can roughly tell by a quick estimate.
Plus, I just saw him filming an action scene, and the two of them had such similar opinions.
Zhang Yuan could smell the burnt odor in the air from a great distance; it was the scent of a woman exchanging glances across the distance.
So much so that he immediately fled back to the hotel after get off work and locked the door.
They didn't even greet the director or Dwayne Johnson.
He refused to see anyone, but people still came knocking on his door.
Ta-da... Ta-da...
Bang! Bang!
"Hey, what do you want?"
Seeing the blonde woman standing at his door with her arms crossed, Zhang Yuan patiently asked.
"I'm really frustrated right now and need to vent to someone."
The other party was very direct.
He rubbed his temples, realizing he couldn't go on like this.
"Come in first."
He pulled the other person to the sofa, and the person immediately started taking off their clothes.
"Don't rush, I have something to say."
Zhang Yuan raised his hand to interrupt.
"I don't like our relationship," Zhang Yuan said bluntly.
You white people like to be direct, so I'll be direct too.
"I don't like being threatened either."
"If you want, you can have someone check my locker."
Zhang Yuan spoke in a sincere and serious tone.
“I can also tell you very clearly that I did not do anything dirty that day, such as stealing women’s underwear.”
"I just grabbed a samurai sword from the film crew."
"If you want, you can tell the director and producer about this, and I will return the items to them and make compensation."
His current state is a classic case of being stubborn even after he's done his job.
Anyway, every man needs to have a hard spot somewhere.
He was waiting for the other party's reaction.
If you get angry, pull yourself back.
Unexpectedly, Annie, who had just been flushed and looking very angry, suddenly frowned, held her face in her hands, and started crying.
I'm so sorry!
"I'm just very sad because of the TV series, and I need someone to be with me."
"I am so, so sorry..."
This completely baffled him.
I still can't get used to the dramatic mood swings of white people.
They roll their eyes if you grab them by the neck, and start cursing if you let go. Their personalities are... hard to describe.
"I understand how you feel, but I don't like the way you're doing it."
"I think we can still be friends."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" My older sister cried pitifully, asking in a pleading voice.
"Is it because of the girl who came to the film set today?"
"I remember, she seems to be from so-and-so's family..."
“This is none of your business,” Zhang Yuan interrupted. “I want to rest now.”
"Please go back to your room."
"Phew..." The man got up while crying and picked up his coat.
I'm planning to go outside.
He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around.
"Wait a minute," Zhang Yuan said, raising his hand to stop him.
"We can discuss these technical issues gradually."
Since they're being so sincere, we can still have a chat...
That night, contrary to their previous dynamic of a strong woman and a weak man, he rode horses vigorously all night.
It helped the other person open up a new path in life.
He even pulled the other person back several times when they tried to run away.
In this state and relationship, he felt more comfortable and was able to unleash his full potential.
The offensive and defensive strategies have shifted!
After listening to the other side pray to God all night, the smoke cleared and Zhang Yuan emerged victorious.
The other party was routed and was kicked out of the room just before dawn. He returned to his own room, disheveled, to slowly tidy up.
The next day, when the women saw him on set, they couldn't help but show fear, and could only stand while getting their makeup done.
She explained to the makeup artist that she had strained her muscles during exercise, which made it difficult for her to walk and sit down.
"Annie," Zhang Yuan said to her, arms crossed, when no one was around.
"You don't want others to know that your first time was with your cousin, do you?"
Adelina: ...
After tidying up, he confessed everything.
Answer any questions.
We can't spoil these kinds of old women.
Not to mention the first time, he even revealed his personal preferences, fantasies, and secret pleasure points... he told us everything.
As for cousins or maternal cousins... this kind of thing is very common in the southern part of North America.
Adultery and incest are rampant in redneck areas, especially in several extremely conservative areas with strong religious influences.
Do you think North American horror films like "Wrong Turn" and "The Hills Have Eyes" are fake?
"What do you want me to do?" Annie asked after taking a deep breath. "Can I rest for a few days?"
"Although I applied ointment, it will take time for the swelling to go down."
After yesterday, she really started to see Zhang Yuan as a monster from Pacific Rim.
That is, the Kaiju.
"I didn't intend to do anything."
"I just wanted you to know that feeling threatened isn't romantic," Zhang Yuan said seriously, giving you a little lesson.
but……
"But I feel a strong connection to this kind of threatened situation."
I didn't expect the other person to like this kind of thing.
According to a survey, half of the women in North America have fantasized about being assaulted by mechanics or men who do manual labor; they generally have this kind of fantasy.
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and walked away silently.
I'd better not mess with this kind of woman.
From that day on, he took the initiative to keep his distance from the other party.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, would contact him from time to time, asking him out for meals or coffee.
At the same time, he also received a call from another friend.
A phone call from Keanu Reeves… (End of Chapter)
