Chapter 117: A Brave Heart

After a conversation, he didn't get the result he wanted, and it was even very different from what he imagined, and when it was time for dinner, Zhou Baoshan couldn't hide his thoughts, and his face naturally looked a little excited.

Accompanied the old man of the Zhong family to drink a few glasses of wine and ate a little simply, and then he took out his mobile phone and notified his driver to come and pick him up.

Seeing his appearance, Zhong Yuanfu hesitated for a few moments, but instead of pulling him to drink or eat more like Father Zhong, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and cups, and said, "I just said that I would take you to see the things in my garage, or let's go to my garage to have a look?"

Zhou Baoshan shook his head with a smile, "No, I don't feel it when I just got off the plane, I feel tired and uncomfortable." I'd better go back to sleep!" and said to Father Zhong: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll come back to drink with you in two days." ”

Dad Zhong also saw that something was wrong, but he just smiled and nodded yes.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Zhou Baoshan estimated that the driver was about to arrive, so he simply got up to say goodbye, Zhong Yuanfu stopped the others and sent him out by himself.

It was already dark, there was no moon, only stars.

The brothers stood in front of Zhong Yuanfu's villa, and they didn't have anything to say for a while.

Zhou Baoshan's estimate was very accurate, and after two or three minutes, the car had already driven over slowly.

As a result, the car stopped, and Hu Yuan opened the door and got off the co-pilot.

Zhong Yuanfu's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Seeing Zhong Yuanfu's fat body standing there, he was slightly embarrassed on his face, but he still greeted with a smile, "Brother Zhong is good, why did you send it out?"

Zhong Yuanfu smiled quickly, and without waiting for Zhou Baoshan to say goodbye to him, he had already waved his hand and said to Hu Yuanhe and the driver who was getting out of the car: "You drive the car and go inside, wait at the gate of the community, I have eaten too much with Baoshan, take a walk, and he will get in the car again at the door." Otherwise, it's not good for your health to take the car directly!

The last "go", Zhong Yuanfu reversed the appearance of Maitreya Buddha who smiled at everyone and everything, and suddenly said in an extremely resolute tone, looking irrefutable.

Hu Yuan and the driver were stunned.

Zhou Baoshan was also stunned for a moment, but he still said quickly: "That's right, you go to the door and wait for me, I'll accompany my senior brother for a walk before leaving!"

Hu Yuan seemed to sense something, smiled slightly awkwardly, and got back into the car.

The car quickly drove away.

Zhong Yuanfu's face was a little cold, and he didn't say hello to Zhou Baoshan, and suddenly strode in the opposite direction where the car left—Zhou Baoshan was stunned for a moment, but he still caught up quickly.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Senior brother, I don't know how Lao Hu ...... in my car."

Zhong Yuanfu suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.

Then he stopped, and after a while, he said slowly: "Lao Hu has some thoughts, it's normal, you are too popular now." If he is an agent, how much benefit can he have to eat in the company? If he instigates you to leave Minghu, after you go out in the future, you will always need someone to help you talk about things and contact with the outside world. At that time, how much benefit will he have in private, how much oil and water, and how much will it be like for people!"

Speaking of this, he turned around, looked at Zhou Baoshan seriously, and said, "Xiaobao, can you tell Senior Brother? What do you think?"

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head and did not speak.

He didn't speak, Zhong Yuanfu didn't speak, just looked at him.

After a long while, Zhou Baoshan finally raised his head and said, "Senior brother, I don't mean anything else, I am a popular man of Qianye, and I am more grateful to him than anyone else!

When Zhong Yuanfu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.

Zhou Baoshan's tone was a little excited, and he said with some emotion: "I know better than anyone that Master Qian is a very great and powerful director, as long as I follow him, as long as he is willing to support me, I Zhou Baoshan can always be popular, especially popular......! Didn't I just give a lecture to the theater manager? I then apologized! But he still went over and made a big deal out of it, as if I had done something very wrong!"

He had some obvious aggrieved expressions on his face, and looked very unconvinced, and said: "It's not been a day or two that we have been actors, we all know, those actors in the circle are far worse than me, what have they played? How much box office have they won? But their score is much higher than mine! They are only great when they play big names! Compared with them, what have I done? As for treating me like this?"

Zhong Yuanfu still didn't speak, hugged his shoulders, and pursed his lips tightly.

Zhou Baoshan shook his hand in a vent and said: "I did a little thing, yes, I did it wrong, I didn't do it right, but I apologized! I still want to lose my face with such fanfare! Okay, I put up with it! Master Qian is my benefactor, without his appreciation and support, I, Zhou Baoshan, would still be a little dragon! Even if he slapped me in public, I have nothing to say, I will kneel down and kowtow to him, begging him not to be angry! But ......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Baoshan lowered his head again for a moment, and then raised his head and said, "But I'm already popular, he can't always treat me as a thing, right? I'm not the little dragon he appreciated at the beginning! He has already picked me up...... Senior brother, I'm not as smart as you, and I can't see things thoroughly as you. Yes, that time you went to the crew of "Shaolin Temple" together, Master Qian talked to me a lot, and he told me, let me film in a down-to-earth manner, and he can take me to a higher place......! But I just can't figure it out, if he values me so much, why does he always press me?"

Zhong Yuanfu pursed his lips slightly, nodded slowly, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Zhou Baoshan hesitated, probably thinking that the person opposite was his closest and most trusted senior brother, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I think he is scared!"

"Afraid, what are you afraid of, who are you afraid of?" Zhong Yuanfu asked in surprise.

Zhou Baoshan nodded.

Then, he said, "I think he's afraid that he won't be able to hold me down anymore!"

Zhong Yuanfu smiled, but quickly put away his smile.

Then, he raised his hand and touched his nose, nodded again, and asked, "And then?" and he said, "So ......"

This time it was Zhou Baoshan who interrupted him, "It's nothing, so! As long as Master Qian doesn't drive me away, I won't leave." I can't make a name for betraying my teacher in the circle. ”

Zhong Yuanfu looked clear and nodded.

"Very well thought out," he said. ”

Then, he asked, "Now, the studio is going to open, can you hold back without you?"

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head when he heard this, raised his head again after a while, and said: "My contract with the company expires in about a year, as long as the company takes the initiative to renew the contract, I will ......."

Zhong Yuanfu asked: "What if the company doesn't mention it?"

Zhou Baoshan said: "That is, the company doesn't want me anymore." ”

Now Zhong Yuanfu understood.

After thinking about it, he turned back and forth in place a few and a half times, frowned, and asked, "Do you know what it means once you leave Minghu?"

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhong Yuanfu said: "What kind of person is Master Qian, I know very well, he is very modest on the outside, but he is actually prouder than anyone else in his heart. You were picked up by him, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to bow to you. So...... Now that you've got that in mind, it's basically ...... Well, a year later, a peaceful breakup!"

"But as long as you leave Minghu...... Xiaobao, if you think clearly, Minghu, Colombia, you can be considered broken here. Have you ever thought about it? "Once Upon a Time" and "The Matrix" may not be looking for you! Do you understand what that means to yourself?"

Zhou Baoshan didn't think about it when he heard this, and replied directly: "Senior brother, you don't need to scare me, there are many examples in Hollywood, and everyone knows that sequel movies are all begged by the company for actors." As long as the movie is a big hit, the company wants to start a sequel, and will give the original team a salary far more than the first one. Because the sequel made by the original cast is almost guaranteed to be a big hit, no one is willing to take the risk of replacing the original cast for a little pay......"

"Moreover, Minghu is the strongest in China, and with Colombia, it is indeed one of the most powerful in the world, but China plus Hollywood, the film market is too big, and it is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand by Qian Ye. ”

His big words made Zhong Yuanfu stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.

Then, he nodded slowly, "It seems that you have thought it through!"

Zhou Baoshan suddenly lowered his head again, and after a while, he said, "As long as there is a little way, I will not ......"

Zhong Yuanfu waved his hand and interrupted him, "The words have already come to this point, no need to say this again!"

At this point, Rao is Zhong Yuanfu was full of scheming, and he knew Zhou Baoshan very well, but he didn't know what to say, paused, and seemed to be extremely distressed, he finally came up with another question, and hurriedly asked: "The film market is very risky. You have always been successful in the past, but every time you succeed, it is because you have no choice but to follow Master Qian, so ...... in the future"

Zhou Baoshan shook his head, a rare bold smile appeared on his face, and his tone was slow but unusually firm to interrupt his senior brother's words. He said, "Senior brother, will Master Qian always be right? Will he never make a mistake?"

Zhong Yuanfu was surprised.

Moments later, he said: "At least so far, he's never missed." ”

Zhou Baoshan smiled, nodded, and said, "But you don't dare to guarantee the future, right?"

That's for sure, of course.

Zhong Yuanfu nodded.

Zhou Baoshan then said: "I don't dare to guarantee that I won't make mistakes, I'm far worse than Master Qian." But, senior brother, have you thought about it, I have become famous, even if it is a little stumbling, it is no longer enough to hit me and make me collapse! Right? I'm popular! And I'm good, Lao Hu is good, we have all been with Qianye for so long, we have seen a lot of popular movies, and we have seen a lot of movies that have lost money, I am not a newcomer, we are not, we already have basic judgment ability. ”

Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness came up, and Zhong Yuanfu sighed slowly.

He knew that his little junior brother had grown up after all.

He will no longer be like before, he will chase him wherever he goes, he will do whatever he says, and he will do it without doubt.

He was red.

There were many, many temptations in front of him.

And when he tried to break these temptations for him, it was no longer possible—he didn't want to. He loves these things.

And I can feel that since the crew of "Shaolin Temple" was rushed over by Li Qian and Zou Wenhuai to beat him, and now half a year has passed, and he seems to have thought it very clearly.

Rightly or wrongly, at least he knew what he wanted.

Zhong Yuanfu waved his fat arm weakly, but in the end, it turned into a gentle pat on his shoulder.

"It's not us, it's you!" he sighed and said, "I don't have anything more to say, you've thought it through yourself." You are an adult, more popular than my brother, what do you want, what do you want to do, my brother can't persuade you anymore, and ...... I can't say anything about you. Whatever you want, just do it. But...... Senior brother is not leaving, really, senior brother wishes you a prosperous outside, but senior brother has no ambitions, senior brother feels that it is quite comfortable to eat behind Qian Ye now. But...... No matter where you go, remember, I will always be your senior brother, if you have difficulties, just come back!

Zhou Baoshan's mouth opened a few times, and there were suddenly some tears in his eyes.

But Zhong Yuanfu had already waved his hand in time and said, "Let's go! Let's go! I should come to eat in the future, but let's not talk about this matter." I pretend not to know, Senior Brother won't sell you, but I can't be sorry for Master Qian, I don't know anything...... Let's go!"

As he spoke, he had turned and walked in the direction of his home.

Zhou Baoshan's "brother" was not shouted out in the end.

…………

Walking alone to the door of the villa area, getting into the car, the agent Hu Yuan leaned over from the front and said: "I called Lao He to ask Lao He, Lao He said that you were eating here, so I asked him to pick me up by the way, thinking that I would go back and tell you something later, I didn't expect Brother Zhong to ......"

Zhou Baoshan waved his hand, tilted it to the backrest, and closed his eyes.

When the car returned to his home, the group got out of the car, and Hu Yuan naturally followed.

The nanny at home asked if she wanted to cook, but Zhou Baoshan waved her hand and drove her away, but Hu Yuan came, "Baoshan drank some wine, get him some sobering wine, make a bowl of soup!"

The babysitter said yes and walked away.

Hu Yuan looked at Zhou Baoshan with blazing eyes and said, "Baoshan, at this time, don't hesitate! I don't know what Brother Zhong told you, but ......"

Zhou Baoshan waved his hand and said, "My senior brother didn't say anything, we didn't mention this, we just chatted and talked about practicing martial arts with our master in the past." A smile appeared on his face, as if he was once again recalling the interesting story of his early years.

Hu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Then, he became more and more energetic, and said: "In the past few days when I came back in advance, I have contacted Oriental Media, Jinghua Film, Huafei Film and Television, and many other film and television companies, and everyone said that as soon as your studio opens, they will welcome you over......!

Zhou Baoshan's eyes widened suddenly, Huo Ran got up, and his voice was unusually loud, "Who asked you to contact them!"

Hu Yuan was a little stunned.

Intimidated by Zhou Baoshan's sudden burst of momentum at this moment, after a while, he said a little unnaturally: "But, we have to make some preparations for the future in advance, ......right?"

"When?"

Zhou Baoshan looked angry and asked loudly.

Hu Yuan was speechless.

Yes, from beginning to end, Zhou Baoshan has not said that he wants to change jobs or stand on his own, but the problem is that when he was in Jinhua Mansion, he looked at Zhou Baoshan in anger, and he seemed to have some intentions.

Then, as an agent, of course, he must hurry up and plan ahead and take precautions.

Zhou Baoshan said seriously: "Brother Hu, I am very happy and grateful that you plan for me, but I am held up by Master Qian, as long as he doesn't drive me away, I won't leave! I owe him too much, understand? Besides, I still have a one-year contract with Minghu, you went out so early to contact other companies, after the word goes out, what will people think of me? Say that I, Zhou Baoshan, have long wanted to betray Master Qian?"

Hu Yuan spread his hands, wanted to say something and stopped, and after repeating it, he barely distinguished: "This kind of thing, of course, is confidential." I made appointments with those people, and they were all very secretive. Even if they have the slightest intention of wanting you to leave Minghu, they won't leak this kind of thing out in advance......"

Zhou Baoshan stared at him with blazing eyes, "It won't be in advance, so what about afterwards?"

Hu Yuan was surprised.

Recently, as soon as the news came out that the company was going to build a studio for several people, he found that there was no Zhou Baoshan, the most popular among several people, and he was immediately a little excited, and he couldn't help but be a little impulsive when he did things, but he didn't think about it so much. At this time, when Zhou Baoshan said this, he immediately understood.

Thinking about Liu Yan's job-hopping some time ago, even if she leaves, it's hello and me, whether it's Mr. Qi of Minghu Culture, or Li Qian, I don't know how to do it behind my back, at least on the surface, there is no intention to embarrass Liu Yan. It is said that Liu Yan has only started to contact other companies in the outside world after she has been recognized by the company, so although she is gone, her reputation has not deteriorated.

So he immediately stood up, nodded, and said, "Baoshan, I understand what you mean." Don't worry, I'm honest and don't do anything. Let's just wait for the contract to end, okay?"

This time, Zhou Baoshan didn't say anything, just turned around and sat down.

After a long while, Hu Yuan thought that he wouldn't say anything, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when he suddenly opened his mouth faintly.

He said: "Master Qian is my benefactor, and he will always be! As long as he doesn't drive me away, I won't leave!"

Hu Yuan immediately replied, "Yes!"

But after a while, Zhou Baoshan said again: "When you go back to the company, help me pay attention to it and see if there are any film appointments from Hollywood recently." If you don't have a domestic film appointment, you can help me choose a film first. I can't be idle, I have to make more films, help the company earn more money, and repay Master Qian!"

Hu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay! No problem! For the rest of the year, let's just make a film, and we don't have to say anything." ”

After a pause, he said, "Just wait and see the situation." There is still room for everything to turn around, let's not be in a hurry, while taking the film, we will look at the situation and decide what to do next, it's not too late. ”

Zhou Baoshan nodded slowly.

…………

When Hu Yuan left, Zhou Baoshan collapsed on the sofa and suddenly felt so tired.

In fact, when I used to be a group performer in the film and television city of Jinhua Mansion, I was even more tired, waiting for the scene day by day, often staying up until late at night to finish filming, and there was little money to earn, and I was half tired when I went back.

But at that time, my heart was relaxed, I didn't have to think about anything, I had a senior brother for everything, I just followed him, he changed his clothes, he changed his clothes, he rushed up, "Ah", he died, and he did it himself.

But there was also a problem at that time, I was staying up like that day by day, I couldn't see any hope, and I didn't know what kind of new crew would be waiting for me tomorrow, and what kind of life would it be.

Later, the transshipment began.

Looking back now, the past few years have been really cool.

It's tired, but it's really cool.

Make a lot of money, make a popular film, and every one of them is a hit!

From "Once Upon a Time", to "Once Upon a Time", to "Once Upon a Time", to "The Matrix", there are only three plays, and in just three years, I have reached the peak that 99% of the world's actors can't go to in a lifetime!

And at that time, everything was Qianye, and there was no need to think about anything by yourself.

But from then on, everything has to be planned for itself.

Tired. It's exhausting. It's tiring to think about.

At this time, he couldn't help but think: No wonder my senior brother is unwilling to toss around like himself, he is a smart person, but he is too lazy, as soon as his life is a little comfortable, a little stable, he loses his wit, and just thinks about lying at home and enjoying a comfortable life, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, eating meat and drinking a lot of wine, and the pair of sisters, etc...... He's so smart, probably he's been thinking about what he's thinking about a long time ago, but he's too lazy and doesn't want to suffer anymore.

Of course, it could also be...... He hasn't come to this point yet, he is not as popular as himself, so even if he wants to, he doesn't dare - in fact, if you think about it carefully, you can feel it over the years, and my brother is quite timid.

But it's not the same myself.

Zhou Baoshan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the luxurious crystal chandelier of the big villa.

He bought and renovated the villa last year. It's expensive.

However, no matter how luxurious this villa is, it is only one of the countless gains of the past three years - luxury cars, big houses, resounding fame, global hits, deposits lying in the bank waiting to be invested, massive snowflakes flying in the contract, and the loyalty of the agent.

It's all a gain.

But he knows that these are far from his end, and they should not be his end.

There are better things waiting for your future.

Only brave and hard-working people like themselves are qualified to take it!
