Chapter 197 Mahjong Storm

"Oh, if you don't have any chance to win, don't pick up so many cards. It's getting more and more chaotic!" Although Chen Boyang gave Zhang Querong another chance, he did not devote 70% of his attention to his opponent Su Yun sitting opposite him as he did before. Instead, he put most of his attention back on the mahjong tiles in front of him.

No, it's better not to watch it. The more you watch it, the more annoyed you become.

"I'm already waiting for a winning hand, and I'll be able to win very soon, trust me!" Zhang Querong played the cards in his hand like a mahjong master and struggled desperately.

"What the hell can you do with a fool? You already have fifteen cards!" Even the most image-conscious people can fall down in front of the mahjong table. Chen Boyang, who is known for his politeness and good manners in the circle, finally couldn't help but blurt out a swear word: Cantonese mahjong is played with fourteen cards. At the beginning, the dealer takes fourteen cards and the others take thirteen. If the dealer is not extremely lucky and can make a fool of himself with the fourteen cards at the beginning, then the dealer will play a card first, and then the next player will draw a card and play a card...

Generally speaking, the number of mahjong tiles that a player has not yet made a winning hand is only thirteen.

So after seeing that the mahjong tiles in Zhang Querong's hand seemed to have grown a little bit, Chen Boyang carefully counted the number and immediately discovered something was terribly wrong.

Sometimes, people forget to play after drawing cards, or forget to draw cards after playing cards. The number of cards and the number of cards are called "big sir" and "small sir" respectively. He has seen many big sirs with fourteen cards, but it is rare to see a big sir with fifteen cards...

"Ding! There are really fifteen cards!" Zhang Querong counted them and immediately started to swear when he heard it.

So how can one's character be best reflected by the way he plays cards? No matter how gentle and polite a person may be at ordinary times, once he encounters any special situation while playing mahjong or poker, he will immediately lose his usual calmness and rationality.

"Hey, you're getting food at the very beginning. I think you should be the one put on the altar as the fortune-bringing boy." Su Yun glanced at the two people who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and wanted to push the cards in her hand over: it just so happened that she had a bad hand this time.

"What are you doing?! I'm just a husband, not a gunner. I won't get burned. I can still continue fighting!" Zhang Querong quickly reached out and held Su Yun down.

"Come on, don't you have enough shots? As soon as you came on stage, you contributed three hits with one shot." Wang Jiaxiang laughed.

"If you are not playing cards, shut up!" Zhang Querong looked like a stubborn person.

"Hey, I'm warning you, don't scold my little brother!" Although he usually likes to bully his silly younger brother, but once there is a quarrel or a fight, Wang Jiaju, as the older brother, will definitely be the first to get involved.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Querong was not like Chen Baiyang, who wanted to keep his eyes on Su Yun, he would definitely not be able to escape the bombardment and targeting.

Just like he was staring at his opponent Zhuang Long, whenever Zhuang Long drew a card, he would call for a touch. After touching three times in a row, Zhuang Long has not been able to draw a single card from the beginning of this round to now.

Although Zhuang Long did not seem to have any special feelings towards Su Yun, the past incident when everyone was "fighting for favor" and he used his adult scheming to trick the two brothers was still vivid in their minds.

While Wang Jiaju and Zhang Querong were arguing, Zhuang Long, who was finally not being stared at, quickly picked up his cards and started playing.

His acting skills are worthy of being cultivated in a Broadway-level theater troupe for a long time. The fluency of his live performance is obviously better than that of Zhang Querong, the most talented actor among the crowd. Of course, at that time, Zhang Querong was still a semi-newbie who mainly acted in movies and TV series. His live performance could definitely not catch up with Zhuang Long, who was from both an academic background and a theater troupe background.

Seeing Zhuang Long's indifferent expression, no one could guess what cards he had in his hand.

The two opposite examples are definitely Zhang Querong and the Wang brothers. When they were drawing cards and playing cards, it is no exaggeration to say that they were full of emotions...

Su Yun sighed, lowered her head to sort out the cards in her hand, and then began to talk idly: "After the Chinese New Year, I'm going to the United States to film a movie."

"Has the adaptation rights been negotiated?" Zhuang Long asked casually: He vaguely remembered that the reason why this new drama was delayed for so long was not only because Su Yun was busy working with Industrial Light & Magic on the post-production special effects of "Blade Runner" and "Star Wars", and TBB and APL in Hong Kong were competing fiercely so they needed support, but also because this new drama was a novel that Su Yun had taken a fancy to, so she had been waiting for Ovitz to help negotiate the adaptation rights.

"Yes, because the changes are quite extensive, there have always been some communication problems with the author's family." Su Yun played a card, "The original author died in 1928, so the copyright of this best-selling novel is in the hands of his descendants. Moreover, this novel has been a best-seller for so many times. Such a major change is a bit difficult for his middle-class descendants to discuss."

"However, Ovitz is indeed a gold medal broker. He had been following the business for a long time and finally saw the business of the descendant run into a financial crisis a month ago, so he rushed to the door to negotiate the purchase of copyrights. This time it went smoothly. We spent 10% more than the first offer, but much less than the 150% offer we expected, and the deal was settled."

"Thank you..." Thinking that the problem of adaptation actually came from himself, Zhuang Long felt quite complicated.

"What are you thanking me for? You are worthy of this adaptation and the money, and this is also the first step of my future strategy. If the race of the protagonist is set according to the original work, then I won't want to make a movie." Su Yun shook her head: movies starring Chinese have always been boycotted by mainstream Hollywood, so if she wants to promote the Eastern face, she must copy her previous co-production work - use some white and black actors to dilute the racial number of the main and supporting roles, so that it can become a co-production that most people can accept.

If you want to fight, you must first occupy a position. Back then, black people were able to make noise and occupy positions, and gradually they gained more and more rights.

Su Yun doesn't think she needs to be famous for making trouble like black people. After all, the high quality of Chinese people is what she agrees with the most. Don't say that most of the scandals outside are caused by Chinese. Tsk, isn't it that the main reason for the "scandals" is that her compatriots have high expectations of their own people, and they apologize first regardless of whether it is their fault or not, so that they are at a disadvantage from the beginning?

In comparison, most black people don't care whether it is their compatriots' fault or not. As long as the people have the same skin color as them, they will stand on their own side first, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, and then unite to make a fuss... Then the big guys in charge of the matter have no choice but to choose to keep things quiet and pretend that everything is peaceful.

Su Yun cannot create such a situation for the time being, so she can only use a more gentle and silent way to gradually penetrate into it through co-productions, allowing the truly beautiful oriental face to slowly rise.

With a handsome face like Zhuang Long that transcends Eastern and Western aesthetic differences and is the template for traditional Chinese handsome men, he is naturally her first choice as the first step in her future strategy.

She doesn't want to see those so-called "Oriental faces" and "Chinese faces" with single eyelids, bleary eyes, sharp edges and more or less discriminatory connotations!

Thinking of this, Su Yun generously said, "Besides, I have a lot of money recently. I have Apple in front and Zhao's in the back. If anyone wants to stop me from getting rich, I will use my money to hit him to death!"

"You look like the protagonist of a new play. I have to remember this well." Zhuang Long couldn't help but laugh, and immediately teased Su Yun and the super-rich movie she was going to shoot next.

The timing was indeed perfect, as Su Yun happened to be very successful during this period, so it could be used as a publicity point.

"Hey, stop talking about work. It's the New Year, so just focus on having fun!" Zhang Querong waved and greeted them.

Then he successfully fired another shot, leaving Wang Jiaju in a mess.

"I don't think you'll get much better if you just concentrate on playing." Wang Jiaxiang, who saw that his brother was losing and thought that he and Zhang Querong were also no match for each other in terms of skills, immediately laughed.

"What are you laughing at? You're so proud of eating some chicken paste. Just wait and see. I'm just warming up. I'll make a big, three, or yuan hand in a minute!" Although Zhang Querong's card skills were quite poor, his words were not a hindrance at all.

As he spoke, he wanted to shuffle the cards again...

Unexpectedly, this time, Chen Boyang decisively pushed him away: "Move away, let me do it!"

"No, your card skills are so bad. As a good brother, I must protect you!" Zhang Querong said it in a very high-sounding manner.

But this time, Chen Boyang, who had only one chip left after playing for less than one round, was determined not to let this guy with a strong desire to lose finish. No matter how Zhang Querong persuaded and coaxed him, he just sat in his seat and didn't move.

Seeing Chen Baiyang, who looked more like a fat sheep than Zhang Querong, sitting on the table, even the Wang brothers, who had always disliked Chen Baiyang, did not stop his behavior, and even helped to pull Zhang Querong aside...

Zhang Querong groaned a few times as he couldn't get a seat. After realizing that Chen Boyang really didn't believe him anymore, he could only turn around and watch TBB's New Year's Gala with Grandma Su and the Mei sisters who had already finished singing Cantonese opera.

The Wynners' performance happened to be on the air at this time. After the group of young and lively guys finished singing, the host asked them some interesting stories: "Is there anything particularly memorable about the Chinese New Year when you were young?"

The five members of the Wynners basically talked about some common memories of eating, drinking and having fun. When it was Zhong Zhentu's turn to add the last sentence, he looked heartbroken: "It was during the Chinese New Year when I played mahjong with relatives and friends. Danny, that bastard, always played the pig to eat the tiger. He looked calm and took all the New Year's money from me, his adopted brother, and his biological brothers and sisters, and used it to buy clothes and shoes!"

Zhang Querong turned his head to look at the mahjong table in astonishment. Chen Boyang, who had only been at the table for ten minutes, just happened to push out the cards in his hand at this time: "Self-draw! Big, three, yuan, everyone, pay quickly!"

"Are you mistaken?" She also heard on the TV that Zhong Zhentu complained about Chen Baiyang's past of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Su Yun, who had originally thought about fattening "Yang", also screamed in an instant.

As a result, after she placed most of the chips on the table, a beautiful hand as beautiful as jade suddenly stretched out from under the table.

Among the people Su Yun knows, the ones with the most beautiful hands are Chen Baiyang and Bowen. These two are both naturally beautiful and particularly fond of music. Unfortunately, Bowen looks like a beautiful boy but has a rough and straight-man-like personality. He is also addicted to washing dishes, so his level of maintenance is definitely not as good as that of Chen Baiyang, a young man who enjoys pleasure whenever he gets the chance.

The pretty hand under the table was holding a handful of chips that were even more than what she had just given out, and the only person at the table who had this amount of chips was Chen Boyang, who had just won a big hand.

Su Yun, who had never been a very good poker player, immediately accepted this confession with a smile: although she knew that she would not be able to hide it from Zhuang Long, she estimated that Zhuang Long would not expose her...

In fact, it was not just Zhuang Long. Even Wang Jiaju, who had witnessed the conversation under the table, had no intention of exposing it.

After all, it was really funny to see Su Yun, who always behaved very maturely, smiling secretly as if she had gotten something fishy. It was only at this moment that people realized that she was still just a young girl of just sixteen years old.

At this time, the evening show in the TV series happened to broadcast a clip from the most popular self-produced drama of the year.

Wang Zheng, the fat man, has always been good at catching hot memes. The farce of Su Yun becoming a "rich woman" was also written into the "King of Gamblers" which was filmed and broadcast at the same time by him as the screenwriter: the scene where the male protagonist Luo Sihai, played by Xie Yan, held Su Yun's photo and silently said "Goddess bless you" in his heart before the show started became the part with the highest instant ratings of the "King of Gamblers" series...

Combined with Su Yun's current money-obsessed look, it can really be said that the two complement each other perfectly.

Bourne, who had been serving tea and water all night, didn't understand anything and was feeling irritated. Suddenly, the TV, which had just finished playing the clip of "King of Gamblers", started playing the most popular clip of this year's imported drama.

In the finale of the third season of "The Thousand Faces of the Girl" aired earlier, the heroine Maya and the second female lead Ayumi, who had been fighting for many years, tied in the final test. After both won the coveted role of the actress Crimson Angel, they each got into their own cars and left.

Although the relationship between Maya and the male lead is still confusing and uncertain, the second female lead Ayumi has made considerable progress with the male supporting role played by Bourne - the Japanese are so attracted to Bourne's looks that after the original author learned that Su Yun had invited Bourne to play this role, he secretly added a lot of scenes for him and even the last scene where the two looked at each other and smiled. It was almost officially announced that these two roles were locked...

"Grandma loves this drama the most. She is always so happy every time she sees it." Mei Yanshuang said softly as she looked at the pleased expression on Grandma Su's face when she saw this scene.

"That's right. In the third part, Ya Gong, played by Su Su, experienced blindness and setbacks, and he only got through it with the company of Bourne's character. How could grandma not like him..." Mei Aishuang analyzed calmly.

Hearing what the Mei sisters said, the others immediately remembered that after Bourne came in, Grandma Su seemed to have treated Bourne differently for no apparent reason...

It turns out that the one who was playing the pig to eat the tiger among them was Bourne, the scheming and deep-minded man who quietly won over Su Yun, the first real screen-burning CP since she grew up!
