Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fighting the Landlord

Cao Ping went to the logistics team to get two box lunches, the crew's box lunches are good, two vegetables and one meat, shredded potatoes, braised gluten and celery fried meat, regardless of the taste, at least you can eat enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Cao Ping has a big appetite and asked the food delivery master for two servings.

The delivery of food by the Hengdian crew is also very popular, generally from the restaurant in the town to order a package, usually 10 yuan standard, Wang Yuan talked to Cao Ping about this before, basically the crew's lunch box is determined through the life producer, this kind of trivial matter The director and producer basically don't care, in the past few years, some life producers who will take advantage of loopholes will eat kickbacks from the restaurants that provide lunch boxes, and after coming back, they will report false accounts to the finance, such as a ten-yuan package, he said that it was bought for fifteen, and a package can earn five yuan, and the general crew is about 150 people, and there will be more in ancient costumes, almost two or three hundred people, so that the money for a box lunch will be tens of thousands a day, you have to pay nearly 300,000 yuan for food a month, a medium-investment drama is filmed for several months, and life producers can make hundreds of thousands, but now many people know the doorway here, and it is not as easy as before to exploit loopholes, and now the position of managing money is generally done by the cronies of the director or producer, after all, money makes others "squint" away, it is better to go into your own pocket, and you can also buy people's hearts, killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Yuan has been looking for food ordering channels through the crew, and there has been no business in the past two months, because everyone knows how to make money in this job, of course, they rush to do it, once there is competition, then sooner or later they will enter a price war, and everyone will fight to see who is willing to spend money. To put it simply, the package that Cao Ping eats is ten yuan standard, but the cost of this one is at most two to three yuan, even if the cost of water, electricity, rent and other costs is added, the final total cost will not exceed four yuan, the net profit of the hotel is 6 yuan per share, and a general crew will get two or three hundred copies a meal, and eight hundred copies a day, and the store's one-day profit is nearly 1000 yuan, and the previous rule was that the life producer took 10%, and the store could still get 4,005 a day, but others were willing to give 15% of the commission, and some people were willing to give 20% In this way, it will slowly fall into vicious competition, profits will shrink, and restaurants will naturally deduct from the materials, so the taste is good! Uncle Wang is never willing to cut corners when making boxed lunches, so the profit is not as much as that of other companies, and the rebates he can give are also less, so although Wang Yuan is familiar with the crew who have been mixing in Hengdian for a long time, it is impossible to offset the power of money, so Uncle Wang's restaurant box lunch is basically no business now, just doing some daily odds.

Cao Ping gulped the food into his mouth, now is not the time to care about the taste, the little fan girl who played Ariel Lin's stand-in changed into casual clothes, wearing a pair of jeans on the lower body, a white T-shirt on the upper body, and a red and black plaid shirt on the outside, and came over with a boxed lunch, followed by the little friend named Li Si, also wearing armor. The little girl smiled at Cao Ping, stretched out a hand and said, "Hello, my name is Jiang Hongyan, do you know each other?" Cao Ping hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, shook Jiang Hongyan with his free hand and said, "Hmm...... Hello, my name is Cao Ping. ā€

Jiang Hongyan opened the lid of the lunch box, took out disposable sanitary chopsticks, and said to Cao Ping: "I just watched the action scenes you filmed, it's really amazing, the director said that the action was too fast to shoot, I only know that only Bruce Lee did it back then." ā€

Cao Ping joked and said: "Actually, you can shoot it, and you can see it clearly when you slow it down." ā€

Jiang Hongyan laughed and said, "Haha, action movies are all about speeding up, how can there be slow play." Cao Ping smiled and said: "Yes, I didn't do it well, otherwise I would have finished filming in the morning." ā€

Jiang Hongyan nodded, took a bite of food and said, "How long have you signed the contract?"

Cao Ping said: "I am ten days, what about you?"

Jiang Hongyan pointed to the civilian clothes on her body and said, "I'm all finished, the costumes have been changed, you can still shoot for ten days, it's good, I'm still looking for a home." ā€

Cao Ping didn't know how to answer, so he had to divert the topic and said, "I think you look better in this dress than in a costume." ā€

Jiang Hongyan became interested, and said happily: "Yes, do you think it too? I also think that I am suitable for filming modern dramas, my ancient costume, how to say it? It is still not outstanding enough, I plan to praise the money area to pad my nose, I have tried it when I looked in the mirror, if my nose is a little more straight, I definitely have the potential to be a leading actor......"

Cao Ping saw sweat on his forehead, this is a familiar girl, and her accent is from the Northeast, this time she opened the chatterbox, and this guy couldn't stop talking about it. But I can't be so stupid? Like a second fool, I have to find some more topics to talk about, but I don't talk to girls much, what should I talk about? Wang Yuan seemed to have talked about this aspect when he chatted with him, and Cao Ping recalled vigorously, yes! Talk about constellations!

Cao Ping asked tentatively: "That, what zodiac sign are you?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongyan put the lunch box aside and said in surprise: "You also believe in constellations? I'm a Sagittarius, what about you?"

"Gah

Jiang Hongyan raised her eyebrows, looked at him with disdain, and said, "This is still so old?

Oh! Pretending to fail, it's so embarrassing! Cao Ping lowered his head and took a bite of food, and said in a muffled voice: "94 years." ā€

Jiang Hongyan nodded and said, "Then you are one year younger than my brother, he only went to college this year, why did you come out to work at such a young age?"

Cao Ping pretended to be despised, he was not in a good mood, and he didn't want to answer this question, so he quickly finished eating, put away the lunch box, and said to Jiang Hongyan: "I'm done eating, and I still have to practice the movements, so I'll go over first." Jiang Hongyan said: "Alas, then leave a phone call? Cao Ping nodded, saved the phone, and went over to find Deng Yuanqing.

Deng Yuanqing finished eating, and a few group performers played poker there, Cao Ping leaned over to watch them play, in Hengdian, playing poker after filming is the most classic form of entertainment, playing a piece of two lottery heads, not much to win or lose, but very popular. Just these seven group performances plus one Deng Yuanqing were divided into two groups of landlords, and the remaining two group performers saw Cao Ping coming over, and hurriedly said: "Hey! Brother, come and fight two?

Cao Ping touched his pocket and said, "I didn't bring any money!" The group actor learned Stephen Chow's exaggerated expression and said, "Isn't it? A big man goes out without money? It's really poor enough!" Cao Ping was a little embarrassed, and the group actor smiled and said: "It's okay, I owe it first, it's just for fun, and it's not big, just one piece or two pieces." ā€

Cao Ping nodded and said, "Okay then." ā€

The group performance while shuffling the cards, while with the next group performance in the hometown dialect talking, Cao Ping also did not understand which words, the group performance shuffled the cards, handed over to let Cao Ping lift the card, Cao Ping touched, felt wrong, this card is done bridge, do the bridge is the most basic thousand means, generally take half of the card shuffle sorting, when the sorting is completed with the palm muscle pinch the card, so that the card has a lonely degree at this time let the other half of the card fall directly, the middle of the whole deck of cards (short side) A gap will be formed, and when the card is cut by the house, it will naturally cut the bridge.

Cao Ping smiled secretly in his heart, these two group performers seem to have learned some simple tricks to cooperate with cheating money, and the other group performers are estimated to have passed their way, so they don't play with them, but they came over stupidly, but fortunately, they went to Liu Jianxin's house when they were young, and Uncle Liu taught him some simple tricks when he played magic. When Uncle Liu was young, he liked to gamble and spent a lot of money to learn thousands of skills, thinking about making a fortune, but there will always be a time when he misses a thousand times, once he was caught red-handed in the casino, and directly chopped off a finger, and was forced bankrupt by the black boss of the casino. The techniques that Uncle Liu taught himself were also some very simple tricks, purely to amuse children, but they were also more clever than these two fools.

Cao Ping pretended not to find out, and probably carried the bridge of the group performance, and the group performance saw Cao Ping take the bait, and proudly secretly gave another look, but he didn't know that Cao Ping was looking at it.

Cao Ping arranged the cards in his hand and found that sure enough, they were all small cards that could not be connected, and the largest was a K. Group performance No. 1 robbed the landlord, and the landlord's cards were Q, K and 6.

The ensemble threw down a string of cards with an excited face, and shouted, "Three Qs and three K planes!"

Cao Ping smiled and said, "Yes." ā€

Another ensemble also cooperated: "Yes." ā€

The group threw out four sixes and shouted, "Bomb!"

Cao Ping still smiled and said, "I can't afford it." ā€

Another group performer said, "Wait a minute! I want it!

The group performance No. 1 said excitedly: "Wait a minute! Put it for Lao Tzu! Four tens! I'll blow it up again! Lao Tzu has reported the order!"

Cao Ping didn't say a word, quietly watched the two of them pretending to be forced, and the second group performance became even more excited, yelling: "Don't move!

Group performance No. 1 is still playing, but unfortunately said: "Hey! I thought the two kings weren't together!"

The second group actor came out with a three-two-belt four, and then pretended to say: "Oops, it's all a single card, let's play it for you!

Group No. 1 laughed and threw out a 2 and said, "Win!

The second group actor also said to Cao Ping with a look of annoyance: "Oops! I thought 2 was in your hand! I played three 2s." Blame me, blame me, blame me. ā€

Group actor No. 1 laughed and said: "A total of 4 bombs, and you are a black coffin, right? That's 64, 64 pieces per person." ā€

Group Performance No. 2 took out sixty-four yuan and gave it to Group Performance No. 1, Cao Ping said, "Okay, then I owe it first." ā€

At this time, Deng Yuanqing finished playing, turned around and saw Cao Ping playing with these two group actors, and quickly pulled Cao Ping by the hand, and said to the two group speakers: "He Quan! Sun Le! Why are you two doing? Do you want to trick my brother?"

He Quan, who is also the No. 1 group performer, said with a smile: "Brother Deng, what do you say by this? It's just entertainment, a small gamble, a harmless thing, and don't you play it yourself." ā€

Deng Yuanqing sneered and said, "Oh, small betting, your salary is only 70 a day, right? I just heard that it is 64, this is called small gambling? You want to go out of a thousand pits in front of me, my brother? No way!"

He Quanlai grinned and said, "Brother Deng, you said that we came out with a thousand and came up with evidence?"

Deng Yuanqing was suffocated, if he could see through their methods, they would not be able to take care of themselves when they were beaten on the spot. He was about to have a seizure, but Cao Ping stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Deng, it's my bad luck." Again, again, I'm going to turn it over. As he spoke, he inserted the cards in his hand into the pile of cards on the ground, and rubbed them twice seemingly casually to scatter the cards.

He Quan smiled and said, "That's it, it's just bad luck, can you still let people turn over the book?" He Quan said and glanced at Deng Yuanqing defiantly. Deng Yuanqing glared angrily, Cao Ping secretly poked Deng Yuanqing, Deng Yuanqing was stunned, looked at Cao Ping with a complicated expression, and then said to him: "I won't fight." After speaking, he sat next to Cao Ping and watched. His wave of few people couldn't fight, and it just so happened that Cao Ping, the unjust head, was being slaughtered as a fat sheep, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.
