Chapter 145: Chance Encounter

After eating a sumptuous meal, but with more sword skills than fire skills,

Yang Zhu finally couldn't bear the stinging pain under his buttocks, and casually found a reason to withdraw;

Although Lin Keran was reluctant, he also knew that this sullen man would definitely not want to stay here anymore, if he was forced to stay, maybe this guy would go crazy, so he had to go with him;

As for Sima Qingcuo, although she had just gotten a dazzling opinion, she really didn't have the courage to let this guy dangle in front of her anymore, she was afraid that she really couldn't help but pick up a kitchen knife and slash at his head.

As for the others......

For them, Yang Zhu is completely a pendant, is it okay, stay or go, it will have a half-dime impact on them?

………………

Standing at the gate of the park, I looked at the uncles and aunts who were crowded inside, and thought about the pile of young people who were playing like a family just now;

Yang Zhu suddenly had a little brain twitch, could it be that he had been sleepy in the club just now, because he had been dealing with a group of middle-aged and elderly people recently?

There was a chill in my heart, I was still young at the moment, but I couldn't decay before I got old!

As for where you can best find the feeling of "youth......

Yang Zhu didn't think about it, took a taxi, and went directly to Silitun.

……………………

At the same time, a rental house somewhere in the imperial capital;

"Ahhh

"I'm so angry with my mother!"

"Nana, look at the text message sent by this bastard director, it actually implies that if I accompany him for a few nights, I can get the role of the second female;"

"Oh, I don't look at him!"

"A bloody small investment Republic of China drama, whether it can be broadcast or not is still two different things, and the idea was actually hit on the old lady!?"

Yang Minna looked at the crazy blue smoke with some amusement and comforted:

"That means that our family is beautiful, otherwise people wouldn't be too lazy to think about it. ”

Lan Yan immediately put on a smug look: "That's it, it's not the old lady who brags, it's been three or four months since she came out of the Xiaoao crew, and she has also traveled six or seven crews, and no actress in the crew can catch up with this girl's appearance." ”

Yang Minna spread her hands: "That's why you often encounter this kind of trouble, like me, people don't bother to look at me more, okay?"

Lan Yan first put her arms around Yang Minna's shoulders and comforted: "That's someone who has no eyes, our Nana, although she has grown a little older, she is definitely a virtuous beauty!"

Yang Minna ignored her, just a little worried: "It's been more than half a year since we signed in to the agency under Director Zhang's name, but since the Xiaoao crew came out, we have only been assigned a few small supporting roles for the small crew;"

"Lan Lan, do you think that Director Zhang is actually not very optimistic about us, and only regards us as special actors in a sense?"

"For example, I play the heroine's mother all day long, and you, every play is an Oiran or something like that. ”

Blue Smoke sighed a little frustratedly:

"I guess so. ”

"If this continues, our acting path will become narrower and narrower, and in the end, there will be no other way out except to play Oiran and Mama-san. ”

"Ahh

"This girl has worked hard to learn acting for the past few years, but it's not just to play a supporting role in an Oiran!"

After venting fiercely, Lan Yan hugged Yang Minna's shoulder: "Nana, go shopping with me!"

Yang Minna stroked her forehead, this guy, once he was in a bad mood, he went shopping, brought back large bags and small bags, and he felt distressed to see the money he spent.

Present persuasion:

"Lan Lan, let's stop buying things all day, okay, we can run up to three plays a month, and the amount we get is only about fifteen thousand yuan,"

"If you go out this time, you will spend at least five or six thousand, and with the frequency of your visits to the mall, the salary can't stand your spending at all!"

Lan Yan didn't care: "What are you afraid of, isn't this still you?"

"It's really not good, I'll ask my mom to call me some. ”

Yang Minna looked at her a little speechlessly, this is called having a rich family, so she is willful?

……………………

The two of them walked on the streets of Sanlitun, carrying paper bags in large and small bags;

Lan Yan's body seemed to have no bones, and leaned softly on Yang Minna: "Nana, I'm tired, let's find a place to rest?"

Yang Minna pestle her with her elbow in disgust: "Who made you crazy, you can't stop for three hours when you stroll?"

Lan Yan didn't care, her body continued to lie on Yang Minna's shoulder, but her head looked around at the place where she could rest.

"Huh?"

Lan Yan suddenly stood up straight and touched Yang Minna:

"Nana, look, that man...... Like Teacher Yang?"

Yang Minna followed her line of sight, only to see that in the open-air pergola of a coffee shop, Yang Zhu was napping with his cheeks in a languid state, obviously it was a coffee shop, but the cup of coffee on the table did not move, but the cup of milk tea next to him drank more than half;

If you observe it a little, you will find that the waiter who comes out from time to time, looking at this guy, his eyes are full of unkindness, and it is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that he has already paid for it, he would be rough directly.

Yang Mingna sneered: "It's Teacher Yang!"

"Why is he here? He can't be here to smash the floor at this coffee shop, right?"

………………

Yang Zhu was napping in a daze, and suddenly, his eyes darkened, and then he was patted on the shoulder, and a voice that seemed a little familiar shouted cautiously: "Teacher Yang?"

Yang Zhu opened his eyes in a daze, only to find Lan Yan and Yang Minna staring at him with a smile;

"Hey, why are you two here?" Yang Zhu looked at them with some surprise;

Then he looked around: "You guys are all done?"

Lan Yan said a little speechlessly: "Teacher Yang, we are just supporting roles, and our scenes have been filmed three months ago." ”

At this time, a waiter came over and asked what they needed, and the two casually asked for a latte and a cappuccino;

After the waiter retreated, Yang Minna asked curiously, "Teacher Yang, why are you here?"

Lan Yan immediately answered: "Yes, Teacher Yang, according to your temperament, shouldn't you soak in the teahouse and listen to Xiaoqu or something?"

After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Yang Zhu has a black line, yes, I also want to ask myself, why did you run here stupidly?

But think about it, I am only twenty-eight years old, in the eyes of these young people, has I reached the age where I need to squeeze the teahouse?

At that moment, he said weakly: "It's okay in your hands, come and experience the life of your young people......"

Lan Yan was still admiring Yang Zhu's embarrassment, but Yang Minna on the side asked with some concern:

"Teacher Yang,"

"You're in your hands now...... Not alive?"

Lan Yan reacted, and immediately asked in surprise, "Teacher Yang, no crew wants you?"

Yang Zhu's forehead showed three black lines, how did he speak?

However, it seems that he really didn't follow the group anymore, and this statement is not wrong, so he nodded sadly.

There was a sympathetic look in their eyes;

Lan Yan pouted even more indignantly:

"Teacher Yang, we all see your level, those crews are blind, so we don't want you!"

"Hmph! I can see it, the entertainment industry is just this virtue, everything depends on relationships, not on ability and potential;"

"Don't be sad, when we can talk to the crew, we will definitely ask the director to invite you over;"

"Rest assured, it won't be late. ”

Yang Zhu listened to the child's shoes as if he was very confident, and was a little puzzled;

This script is wrong, didn't I tell Director Zhang that I would only let her play some small roles, how could I dare to put this kind of yellow accent at will?

So Yang Zhu asked cautiously, "Are you ...... now?" Very important in the crew?"

The expressions of the two fell, and Lan Yan laughed at himself: "What status can it have!"

"Oh, I'm trying my best to toss in the roles of the street girl and the Oiran, and I'm a female seven or eight when I die;"

"Nana is a little better, and occasionally she can be a female No. 5 or so, and she either plays the heroine's mother all day long, or plays the male protagonist and his aunt. ”

Yang Zhu relieved his heart slightly, this is right.

Immediately said with a sad face: "Thank you for your kindness, but not long ago, I decided to change careers to become a screenwriter." ”

The two looked at him in disbelief and said in unison, "Teacher Yang, are you crazy!?"

No wonder they reacted like this, in the Chinese film and television industry, unless it is an adaptation of a well-known literary work, and the author himself assumes the role of screenwriter...... The screenwriting industry is simply at the bottom of the ecosystem, which is worse than ordinary mental workers.

Therefore, in their opinion, Yang Zhu's change from a highly capable assistant director to a screenwriter is simply the best manifestation of self-abandonment.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Yang Zhu said bitterly: "What can I do, no crew is willing to ask me now." ”

Yang Minna asked with some suspicion: "But didn't you go to the crew of "Zhu Xian" at the beginning?"

"This movie is a rare big production in recent years, and the box office results are very good, not to mention anything else, just with your energy in the Zhuxian crew, it is unlikely that the crew will reject you?"

Yang Zhu was a little speechless for a while, but instantly found a reason for himself:

"You don't know, there are a lot of big names in the crew of "Zhu Xian", and there are also many people with backgrounds;"

"And I'm a person, my temperament is a little twisted, when I was in the crew, I offended some people because of the training of actors, so I ......"

Yang Minna nodded, they have learned the temperament of this Teacher Yang, and it can be said that it is extremely popular, if it weren't for the fact that what he taught was really useful, those "students" would have rebelled a long time ago;

The big-name actors in the crew of "Zhu Xian" are different from these little shrimps, that face is the first, whether you teach you well or not, but if you embarrass me, you are my mortal enemy;

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for this Teacher Yang to be retaliated against openly and secretly because of these things.

Lan Yan on the side stared at Yang Zhu with some suspicion, not that she didn't believe the reason given by the other party, but because of pure intuition, she felt that things were not as simple as he said;

What's more, I don't know why, she always feels that Yang Zhu's face is faintly familiar, as if she has seen him on the big screen, but no matter how she thinks about it, she still can't remember where she has seen it.

After a while, she gave up thinking and complained with Yang Zhu:

"This year, why is it so difficult to make a good film?"

"Mr. Yang, don't you know, I have joined 6 crews in the past two months, and there are directors, assistant directors, and producers of 4 crews who want to sneak me, and I can't wait to slap me over!"

"Tell me, who did I provoke, why did I encounter this kind of all day long!?",

Yang Zhu smiled and looked at her peach blossom eyes, thinking, how did you provoke others, don't you have any points in your heart?

Beauty has always been a scarce resource, even in the entertainment industry, there are not many high-scoring beauties, and it is not easy to meet a little actor whose ratings are above the level, but he is not famous, and those people are naturally ready to move.

In their eyes, the little cabbage in the entertainment industry will be arched sooner or later, and if you start early, you may be able to eat Daotou soup.

So there was a smile on his face:

"Then why don't you think about it?"

"What if you agree to them and get a heroine or something, maybe you will be an instant hit?"

Blue Smoke sneered:

"Just their virtue?"

"No matter how ugly one breaks through the bottom line, even if I really have this heart, with their directorial level and poor investment, can they make me popular?"

Yang Zhu stared at her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger: "What do you mean, if you meet a big director who can make you popular, or a crew with a big investment, you will agree?"

Lan Yan thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head:

"We're all adults, and I'm not particularly averse to it, but ......"

"I'm afraid that Nana will look down on me then!"

"So, it's a big deal to keep being a trick, and I won't starve to death anyway!"

After speaking, she put her arm around Yang Minna's shoulder:

"Teacher Yang, don't you know that Nana is not only old, but also has many ideas similar to those old antiques. ”

Yang Minna looked at her with a dark face, which means that she is an old woman from the inside out?

Yang Zhu looked at her with some surprise, but she didn't expect her to admit that she was not disgusted with hugging her thighs.

But at the same time, she was even more surprised that she refused this kind of thing because of Yang Minna's relationship.

looked at her with some curiosity at the moment: "You care so much about Yang Minna's opinion? You know, many times in the entertainment industry there are opportunities that don't wait for people, if there is really a big financier who takes a fancy to you at that time, will you still refuse because of her?"

Lan Yan looked at Yang Zhu a little strangely, not knowing why this always cold teacher was so gossipy today, but he still nodded seriously: "That's natural." ”

"Do you really think I'm so rare of those opportunities?"

"Besides, I've grown so big, and I finally have a friend like Nana, I don't want to be looked down upon by her!"

Yang Zhu shrugged, it's hard to say what this girl will become in the future, but at least for now, it seems that she really cares about Yang Minna, a friend, so these words can be believed for the time being.

Yang Minna on the side was also a little moved, and comforted her:

"It doesn't matter if we can't get good roles and good scripts now,"

"It's really not good, we are desperately saving money, and when the time comes, we will invest ourselves, become our own producers, be our own directors, and make a film for ourselves;"

"Aren't there some seniors in the industry who have already done this, and they are also actors, and in the end, they haven't made a lot of popular movies?"

"It's just that if you want to do that, you must not spend money like this again!"

When Lan Yan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, we can raise money to make a movie for ourselves!"

After speaking, his eyes lit up on the spot, and he took out a small notebook, calculated it carefully, and bit Yang Minna's ears from time to time.

At this time, the waiter brought two cups of coffee, and looked at the two beauties who did not seem to have any intention of drinking them immediately;

Sweeping the cup of coffee in front of Yang Zhu that was already cold and could be watered with flowers, the waiter couldn't help but remind:

"Our coffee is made by Italian experts, so please don't waste it......

Although the waiter looked at Yang Lan and the others, his eyes faintly glanced at Yang Zhu;

The implication is that Yang Zhu ordered not to drink, which is extremely disrespectful, and he is very unhappy now.

Yang Zhu looked at the young waiter with a smile, then looked at the cup of "Kangbao Blue" in front of him, which had already been cold, and turned to the waiter and said:

"So, little handsome man, you tell your barista that I'm not satisfied with this cup of Comberland,"

"It's not that I'm not happy with the cream, it's that I'm not happy with the coffee inside;"

"Since your barista is from Italy, let him show his real skills and bring me a pure espresso, remember, tell him, don't be perfunctory to me. ”

The waiter seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and then walked to the bar and underestimated a few times with a bearded foreigner.

Lan Yan looked through the glass a little strangely, looked at the bearded foreigner as if he was facing a great enemy, and turned his head to look at Yang Zhu: "Teacher Yang, why is that barista so nervous?"

Yang Zhu smiled: "Because I asked him to make espresso, I also emphasized that don't perfunctory me." ”

Yang Minna on the side was very curious: "Teacher Yang, I only know that you are very good at tea, but I didn't expect you to be so proficient in coffee, looking at the barista's nervous appearance, it was like going to the examination room." ”

Yang Zhu laughed: "Where do I know what coffee is, it's the waiter who is not happy, and he specializes in scaring them." ”

The two of them are confused and don't understand the cause and effect relationship.

Yang Zhu didn't bother to explain, he just said to them: "You remember, whenever you want to pretend to be B or want to make things difficult for a coffee shop with a bit of style, you just need to calmly ask the barista to seriously bring you a cup of espresso, and then frown when you drink it, take a sip and put it down, and then don't say a word!"

The two were stunned: "This won't be a problem?"

Yang Zhu said with a smile: "There will definitely be no problem, at most, when the time comes, take the tone and say [this cup of coffee...... It doesn't quite match my taste] and it's done!"

"Remember, the pause in between must be slightly longer. ”

"Basically, at this point, the barista will go back with a look of shame, and even think that you are taking care of his face, being grateful to you, and directly saving the coffee money. ”

The two were dumbfounded, is this okay?

Hurriedly asked what the truth was.

Yang Zhu said slowly: "Because espresso is different from the latte and cappuccino that you little girls love to drink, it is a drink that tests the barista's skills very much. ”

"Just like drinking tea, the [grinding], [gouache ratio], [water temperature], [pressure], [extraction time], [filling pressure], etc., each process will have an impact on the taste of the final product, and the precise control of each link, and finally present a relatively perfect espresso, the difficulty of which is comparable to ascending to the sky, without decades of effort, it is not possible to brew such a small cup of espresso;"

"Moreover, judging from the equipment of these coffee shops opened by us in Huaxia at present, the [grinding] program alone is stuck in 99% of coffee shops;"

"Even if you're lucky, with a barista who has passed the test, and a very particular machine, you can still judge that the espresso he brews is not up to taste;"

"Because drinking espresso, like drinking tea, the evaluation is extremely personal,"

"For those espressos brewed by the masters, it's the same as evaluating Pu'er raw tea, you can say that the basic taste is good, but the tea rhyme is not what I like;"

"Therefore, for baristas who know a little bit but are below the master level, the comment I just taught you is equivalent to covering their faces;"

For a barista above the master level, you are telling him in an exploratory tone that coffee is good coffee, but you don't appreciate some of the taste expressions. ”

"As for which places you don't appreciate, where the consistency and irritation are too strong or too weak, you can just find a reason to fool around. ”

The two of them once again incarnated as good students, and seriously recorded this sentence in their minds.

In the entertainment industry, pretending to be B and tearing up is simply a daily necessity, this kind of knowledge that can be used to fool people, if you don't study it carefully, you are simply sorry for your conscience.

As for the poor barista......

Yang Minna looked through the glass window with some pity at the foreign man who was carefully operating the spring-flap lever coffee machine,

Who let your waiter offend Mr. Yang, who has always been revenged.

Lan Yan, on the other hand, looked excited and expectant, eager to enjoy the barista's embarrassed face immediately......
