The new house is currently only equipped with Zhang Yuanjun’s master bedroom and study room, and cannot provide accommodation for friends, so several people went back in two cars at night.
"Squad leader," Zhang Yuanjun began to make arrangements, "you drive my car and take Zhou Yang, Xu Qian and Yifei away."
"Can Yutong know how to drive? You drive that pickup truck and take Yawen and the three of them back."
Zhang Yuanjun was drunk and it was inconvenient to drive people away: "Okay, let's go, drive slowly on the road, and I will send you a message when we get there." Zhang Yuanjun waved his hand and sent the two cars away.
On the road, Zhang Yuanjun’s car.
The most gossipy ones, Xu Qian and Zhou Yang, were sitting in the back row, while Liu Yifei was sitting in the passenger seat.
They were both girls. Xu Qian's loud mouth started to lose its tone. She pulled Zhou Yang and said with a smile: "The third child doesn't have a girlfriend yet. If you try harder, I won't believe that his heart is iron-clad."
Zhou Yang said: "You drank some wine and started talking nonsense."
"Why am I talking nonsense," Xu Qian said, "He hasn't had a girlfriend for four years in college. What's wrong with you chasing him again? Such a big house needs a mistress."
Wang Jia, who was driving, glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror, then glanced at Liu Yifei, who was silent in the co-pilot, from the corner of her eye, and said with a smile: "The conditions for the third child are, to put it harshly, difficult to find. What kind of girl can't be found?" Arrive? If he doesn’t talk about it, he probably really doesn’t want to talk about it.”
"I'm over 20 years old. If I don't fall in love, do you think there is something wrong with him?" Xu Qian began to make random guesses.
"Nonsense." Wang Jiada said, "What problem could he have?"
"Would he not like women?"
"What are you thinking about all day long?" Wang Jiadao said, "How can you teach students like this in the future?"
Xu Qian has obtained a place to stay at the school to teach.
Two cars took the eight people back to their respective residences and reported to Zhang Yuanjun that they were safe.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yuanjun got up early and rushed to the airport.
"I just stayed in my new house for one night and will be leaving the country for more than half a month. It's a real loss to buy this house."
Xiao Zhao said: "I hired someone to clean you up."
Seeing the emotion on assistant Xiao Zhao's face, Zhang Yuanjun asked her what happened.
Xiao Zhao said angrily: "Do you still remember the sister I brought to the capital last year?"
"Well, let's call her Li Ying."
"Well, that's her. She quit her job without telling me and came to the capital."
"Come just come, it's better to work in the capital than in your hometown."
"It would be better if she came looking for a job. She wants to be a star! She applied for some Yahoo Star Search talent show without telling me. I only found out yesterday that she made it to the finals! I was so angry."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "There is nothing to be angry about. She can enter the finals, doesn't it just mean that she is suitable for this industry?"
"What's suitable for me?" My elder sister has never praised her younger sister. "She looks average, has no culture, and has no talent. How can such a person survive in the entertainment industry." In fact, she is worried about her younger sister.
Zhang Yuanjun comforted her: "Everyone has their own destiny. As a sister, can you look after her for a while, or for a lifetime? She is so old, it's time to let her make her own choices. As long as she doesn't break the law, you What does this elder sister have to worry about?"
"You know what's going on in this industry," Xiao Zhao said. "She's just a girl messing around." Working as Zhang Yuanjun's full-time assistant for more than a year, she has really seen what this industry is like. ——Colorful!
"Then what can you do? You said everything you should say last year, but this year she will have to wade into this water. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on her own destiny."
"That's all we can do." Xiao Zhao sighed slightly.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Liying is just her uncle's daughter. Although the cousins are close, they are not biological sisters after all.
If her brother had this idea, she would not agree even if she broke his legs with a stick.
Zhang Yuanjun flew to Los Angeles with Xiao Zhao, and the crew's driver drove to pick him up.
The two did not go to the hotel to rest immediately, but went straight to the production studio.
"Zhang, long time no see." The two shook hands, Rodrigo Cortez looked tired but still enthusiastic, "I can't wait to see your performance."
"Don't worry, Cortez, everything will be as we agreed in advance, and I will definitely perform well." Zhang Yuanjun said, "Are you ready for what I want?"
"We found it. We found an abandoned small house on the outskirts of Los Angeles. It looks like a utility room. You can go there to find the feeling you want. Zhang, actually you don't have to do this. We are a small-budget movie. There is no need to waste time like this, and I believe in your acting skills."
Zhang Yuanjun said: "I have been looking for the feeling of John Yong for a long time, especially his physiological reaction when he is trapped in a coffin. I have never had a good grasp of it, so I need such an experience. Give me 6 days and I will give it to you." A perfect John Yong."
"Okay," Rodrigo Cortez couldn't resist the boss, "Should we go now or wait until you get over the jet lag?"
"Of course it's now. What I want is this feeling of jet lag." The 15-hour time difference has made Zhang Yuanjun very uncomfortable now. "My assistant has asked you to take care of me these days."
"no problem."
"What are you talking about? Don't think I don't understand." Xiao Zhao has been improving his English since last year, "He wants to lock you up?!"
Zhang Yuanjun explained to her: "I will be locked in a room to experience life for the next six days. Someone will bring me food and water every day. You don't have to worry. We will start the phone on the 15th."
"Isn't there any danger?"
"No." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "I am the star and boss of this show. What good will it do to them if something happens to me? You should eat and drink as you should these days."
Zhang Yuanjun was locked in an 8-square-meter utility room.
Except for a bed and a bucket for convenience, there was nothing in the room, not even a light.
The utility room was tightly sealed, and the wooden boards on the wall were nailed shut, leaving only a sliver of light.
The staff came to deliver him food and water at 5 pm every day. They only delivered him food and water once a day, two slices of bread and 200 ml of water each time.
Zhang Yuanjun moved in that afternoon, lay on the bed and began to fall asleep due to jet lag.
When he woke up, it was dark all around, and it was already night outside through the cracks in the wooden boards.
Zhang Yuanjun groped in the darkness and found the dinner plate at the door, which contained today's food and water.
Zhang Yuanjun ate and drank.
It's true that I'm not full, but I should be able to hold on for a while.
When he had nothing to do, he sat on the bed and recited lines and ancient poems.
After carrying it for who knows how many hours, Zhang Yuanjun did push-ups in the room before dawn, trying to tire himself out and fall asleep quickly.
However, Zhang Yuanjun ignored one point: exercise can make people tired and hungry.
Before dawn, Zhang Yuanjun's stomach was already growling.
Zhang Yuanjun lay still on the bed. He wanted to maintain energy until the afternoon meal was delivered.
At some point, Zhang Yuanjun fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes with difficulty, he looked at the food delivery port at the door. There was no food.
The light in the room was very dark, so dark that if there wasn't a crack in the corner of the wall, a ray of light came through, and Zhang Yuanjun wouldn't know whether it was night or day.
Really hungry.
Still very thirsty.
A long nap did not relieve his jet lag, but instead worsened his physical discomfort.
But Zhang Yuanjun was in a good mood at this time. He knew that he was experiencing life.
After finally making it to the afternoon, the food delivery door opened and closed, and two slices of bread and half a bottle of water were delivered.
Zhang Yuanjun walked slowly to the door to get it. After eating, he lay down on the bed obediently. He didn't dare to move any more.
The next day, the physical discomfort worsened again, and an unpleasant smell began to emit from the wooden barrel in the corner.
On the third day, Zhang Yuanjun began to have mental problems. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon - he didn't know it was 3 o'clock - Zhang Yuanjun's cursing voice came from the room.
Called Rodrigo Cortez a son of a b***h and said he was going to be fired.
At first, he was scolded in English, and then switched to Chinese. All kinds of curse words that were not allowed to be broadcast came out from the room.
But there has been no reaction from the outside world.
Because Zhang Yuanjun and Rodrigo Cortez made an agreement not to pay attention to Zhang Yuanjun no matter how much he scolded him inside.
On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Yuanjun was still cursing. Zhang Yuanjun threw all the curse words he could think of in his life at Rodrigo.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yuanjun began to beg for mercy and begged him to let him out.
At night, Zhang Yuanjun began to lie to the outside world, saying that he was sick and needed to see a doctor. If he didn't open the door, he would die in the secret room.
This really scared Rodrigo. At night, he opened the door and looked into the room with a flashlight.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuanjun came out of nowhere, pushed Rodrigo away and ran out.
"Quick! Catch him!" Rodrigo shouted.
The weak Zhang Yuanjun was caught before he could run far.
"It seems you are not sick." Rodrigo said, "Put him in again."
"Cortez," Zhang Yuanjun begged, "don't lock me in. I will invest in you and let you make movies."
"No, Zhang, we are filming a movie now."
Zhang Yuanjun was imprisoned in the dark room again.
On the fifth day, there was no sound in the small dark room.
The food delivery employee looked in through the food delivery port and found that there was no one on the bed, but when the dinner plate was passed through the door, one hand quickly grabbed the bread on the plate.
It seemed that Zhang Yuanjun was squatting at the door waiting for the food to be delivered.
On the sixth day, Zhang Yuanjun lay weakly on the bed. He didn't want to curse anymore and had no energy to curse.
He is now feverish, hungry, thirsty, and tired.
But the actor's instinct told him that this is the feeling, remember it, physically and mentally, remember it.
Staring in confusion, Zhang Yuanjun fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in the hospital.
