Chapter 51 I want to have a family He said he was taking everyone to meet the actress, but in fact Gao Qunshu wanted to hold a "swearing-in ceremony" before leaving. The venue was provided by the leading actress Jiang Shan. After meeting the leading female actors Jiang Shan and second female actors Liu Weiwei, Xu Kun became increasingly aware of why the entertainment industry is a circle. Zhang Li [Zhou Dapeng] and Chen Bing [Hu Dahai], as well as Liu Weiwei who plays the second female lead Li Mei, and several supporting actors with more roles, have all appeared in "13 Murder Cases", and can be considered the team that Gao Qunshu started with. Sun Honglei, Jiang Shan, who played the leading female role Li Li, and many important crew members are all connections of director Zhao Baogang. Therefore, almost two-thirds of the main actors in this drama are relatives of the emperor - including Xu Kun himself. It just so happens that these people with connections all have excellent acting skills. All I can say is that it’s a matter of timing and luck. The most famous one among them is Jiang Shan, who plays the leading female role. The TV series "Getting High" and the movie "Ambush" starring her were both popular classics. She also has a widely sung song "Water Town in Dreams".
However, after 97, she faded out of the circle for a while and only made two movies in four or five years. Her current situation is a bit like that of Lv Liping before she filmed "The Passionate Years". Her status and fame in the circle are still there, but she is not as popular as before. But even so, Jiang Shan is the undisputed big sister in the crew, not to mention that she is Sun Honglei's senior at the Central Academy of Drama. As domineering as Sun Honglei is in KTV, he is well-behaved and sensible in front of Jiang Shan, calling her "sister" all the time, and the sugar content is at least five pluses. The performances of the others were similar, not only because of Jiang Shan's status in the circle, but also because she lived in a small villa with a private entrance and courtyard - what it means to be rich and powerful is clear once you enter this courtyard. Xu Kun didn't have a deep impression of Jiang Shan, but he was very familiar with Feng Gong, the male lead of "Ambush". After all, the prison organizes watching the Spring Festival Gala every year. Of course, the programs played in prison were all reruns - we couldn't organize the prisoners to party all night, could we? When the two sides introduced themselves, Xu Kun shook Jiang Shan's hand up and down twice, pretending to be excited and said: "Sister Jiang, on my own behalf, I would like to express my gratitude to your "Ambush" crew!" Jiang Shan asked curiously: "Why?" Xu Kun stopped at the right time, scratched his head and laughed, "When I was sixteen, I got my first girl by using the matchstick trick in the movie." Jiang Shan was immediately amused when she heard this. After watching the movie, she found that many people used this trick to bluff people and pick up girls, so she did not suspect that Xu Kun made it up. He asked with great interest: "What happened to the girl later? Did you abandon her?" "How can I be the one who started it all and then abandoned it?" Xu Kun spread his hands and complained: "Later, she also watched the movie and dumped me - and said that I loved to copy homework when I was in school, and now I copy homework when I chase girls. I am a shameless liar!" Amidst bursts of laughter, Jiang Shan, the big sister of the crew, also formed her first impression of Xu Kun. After laughing and joking for a while, Gao Qunshu also rushed over with Shi Zhaoqi and others. Seeing a group of people led by Jiang Shan and Sun Honglei in the yard, he turned around and smiled at Shi Zhaoqi: "Director Xu [Shi Zhaoqi], does this count as catching all the criminal gangs in Shi City in one fell swoop?" Most of those following Shi Zhaoqi are positive characters in the play. Shi Zhaoqi also laughed and said, "I think it should be called "enemies will not meet again." "It's a common saying that enemies often meet each other." Gao Qunshu took the initiative to pour himself a glass of beer, and everyone saw this and hurriedly poured themselves a glass of beer. Gao Qunshu waited for a while until everyone had picked up their glasses, then he said loudly: "Today we have met and sworn in. If anyone is missing when we set off for Shi City the day after tomorrow, I will not agree!"
Everyone agreed with a roar. However, when the party was getting lively, a man suddenly walked in pulling a little girl. When he saw the yard full of people and Jiang Shan who was surrounded by everyone, his face immediately became a little ugly. Jiang Shan walked over quickly, touched the little girl's face and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say I had something to do today..." "The child misses his mother!" The man said, and repeated it with a stronger tone: "Is there anything more important than a child missing his mother?!" "Gao Shuguang!" Hearing the man's questioning tone, Jiang Shan's face suddenly darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really want to ruin my show in front of outsiders?!" Gao Shuguang is Jiang Shan's husband. They met while filming the TV series "I Want a Home" in 97. Perhaps the name of the drama was too provocative, so they got married that year. After giving birth to a daughter in 98, Jiang Shan stayed silent for a few years to take care of her daughter, but recently she has started to join the crew frequently again, leaving the task of taking care of her daughter to her husband and parents-in-law. This naturally caused Gao Shuguang's dissatisfaction. He glanced at the crew and found that there were not many familiar faces. The few who knew him were not as famous as himself, let alone Jiang Shan. "Haha~" Gao Shuguang immediately said sarcastically: "How dare I destroy your stage? I'm just worried that the wind is too strong and you can't stand steadily on the stage." This was clearly a mockery of the "Conquer" crew being a makeshift team that would collapse at the slightest breeze - he was hoping that Jiang Shan would become completely forgotten so that she could return to her family. However, this is not just Gao Shuguang's opinion, because Gao Qunshu is not a professional filmmaker, and his previous documentaries were the most despised in the industry, so not many people were optimistic about "Conquer" at the time. "Gao Shuguang!" Jiang Shan was so angry that she didn't care about her dignity anymore. She pushed Gao Shuguang hard and said, "I bought this house myself. I want you to get out of here immediately, or I will sue you for trespassing!" "Okay, do you want to sue your daughter as well?!" "Are you threatening me with my daughter?! Gao Shuguang, do you still have a conscience?!" "Do I have a conscience? I take care of my daughter's food, clothing, housing and transportation. You have the nerve to ask me if I have a conscience?!" The couple had a heated argument, and everyone in the crew was embarrassed to death. Gao Qunshu's face was ashen. After all this, the oath-taking ceremony that was supposed to be held was naturally ended in vain. ………… After leaving Jiang Shan’s villa, Xu Kun received a call from Zhang Yong. When Zhang Yong heard that Xu Kun was going to make a TV series based on Zhang XX, he was quite excited. After all, unlike Xu Kun who had only heard about them from others, he had actually dealt with some of them. "In those years, the two most common types of people hanging around on the streets were bullies and swindlers, and those who forced women of good families into prostitution. Zhang XX and I were half in the same business. He was a bully who collected protection fees from entertainment venues, and we were a bully who monopolized the beer business." Zhang Yong took out "The Courage of the Past" and talked about it for a while, and asked with more meaning: "Kun'er, do you want me to pick two people for you? You can take care of them when you get to Shishi." "Don't!" Xu Kun quickly refused, repeated what Li Yixiang had said, and advised: "Brother Yong, since we brothers have retired from the underworld, it is best to avoid the underworld." "Don't tell me, it really is true."
Zhang Yong was quite emotional after hearing this: "When I was messing around outside, I was afraid that others hadn't heard of my name. Now that I have changed to a legitimate business, I am afraid that others have heard of my name before. Last time the county convened a meeting of large-scale growers, I should have had no problem sitting in the front row even if I wasn't the top seat. However, because I was worried about being recognized, I only dared to hide in the corner of the back row. I am still in my hometown, but you are showing off in the capital..." Zhang Yong said this and pondered, "Well, wait until I have established a firm foothold in my hometown, and then we will think of a way to restore our reputation - at least it should be acceptable in the eyes of the government." Although the two brothers reached a consensus, they didn't have any good solution for the time being. The only thing they could think of was to donate money, but on the one hand, they were not well-off at the moment, and on the other hand, this thing also required a suitable opportunity. However, after hanging up the phone, Xu Kun thought of a suitable opportunity. Next year, maybe I can donate some masks, thermometers, isatis root and other things to my hometown county. Just be prepared in advance and make up a reason... (End of this chapter)
