Chapter 476: Tang Xiaosheng's Last Words
Hearing the knock on the door of the house, Tang Xiaosheng expected that it should be someone from the village who came to visit the door. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and in recent days, people have come to visit one after another, especially some people who have been helped by Tang Xiaosheng.
Sure enough, after Tang Xiaosheng opened the door, he found that the person who rang the doorbell was Uncle Wang, the elder of the village. Uncle Wang is over eighty years old this year, he is on crutches, although his legs and feet are not very neat, but his mental state is very good.
What is more strange is that behind Uncle Wang, there are two young people, a man and a woman. The man, in his mid-thirties, was dressed in black overalls and carried a television camera on his shoulder. The woman standing next to him was also very young, less than thirty years old, dressed in a white casual blouse, with a delicate and lovely appearance, a dignified and elegant demeanor, and a temperamental beauty at first glance.
The origin of this beauty is not ordinary, her name is Yang Jing, she is a famous host of CCTV, has hosted many talk programs such as "Interview with Yang Jing", and has interviewed more than 150 celebrities in the political, economic, cultural and entertainment circles.
Yang Jing's interview style is gentle and relaxed, very affinity, and is deeply loved by the majority of TV audiences, and has won the honor of "China's Top Ten Hosts".
Although Tang Xiaosheng doesn't often watch TV, he is no stranger to Yang Jing. It's just that the host of CCTV suddenly appeared in Baiyang Village, which surprised him a little.
When he was about to ask, Uncle Wang had already spoken: "Xiaosheng, these two people said that they were from the TV station, and they said that they wanted to interview you, so I brought them here." ”
It turned out that because Tang Xiaosheng made unprecedented achievements in the film and television industry in 2017. Coupled with his great contribution to philanthropy, he was successfully selected as one of the "Top Ten People Who Moved China in 2017" hosted by CCTV.
The program will be broadcast on CCTV eight days later, and all winners will be warmly invited by the TV station to attend the award ceremony that night.
It's just that since December last year, Tang Xiaosheng announced his retirement from the film and television industry, and suddenly disappeared from everyone's field of vision and no longer participated in any social activities. In the past two months, he has been absent from more than a dozen award ceremonies, and he doesn't even seem to have the intention of attending the Oscars, and it is estimated that he will not attend the awards ceremony of "Moving China".
Participation in the program is not available. This is the right of the winners. CCTV also gave the winners enough respect and understanding.
However, considering Tang Xiaosheng's huge influence in 2017 and too many mysteries about him, CCTV decided to do an in-depth interview with Tang Xiaosheng. Thereupon. The TV station finally decides. Yang Jing, a senior host in the station, went to Baiyang Village. Interviewed Tang Xiaosheng.
At noon today, when Yang Jing arrived at Baiyang Village, she happened to meet Uncle Wang who was wandering around the village. So he asked Uncle Wang about Tang Xiaosheng's residence. Uncle Wang was a warm-hearted person, so he brought Yang Jing and the photographer to Tang's house.
"Tang Xiaosheng, hello! I am the host of CCTV, and my name is Yang Jing. Yang Jing stretched out his hand and greeted with a soft smile.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng had basically understood that Yang Jing came here, and nine times out of ten he came to interview him. Tang Xiaosheng has never liked interviews too much, because the questions asked by reporters are often repetitive, and they can't help but resist.
However, Tang Xiaosheng's first reaction to Yang Jing's visit was not resistance, but feeling pressure. More than 150 celebrities interviewed by Yang Jing are the world's top people from all walks of life, including national leaders, top business tycoons, and authoritative scholars in the world. In a sense, being able to be interviewed by Yang Jing is an honor in itself, and looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are less than ten people who can win this honor.
Yang Jing went all the way from Beijing to Baiyang Village, and Tang Xiaosheng felt that if he refused her interview and blasted her away, it was obviously not appropriate. As the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest, not to mention, for the New Year, it is really unreasonable for a woman to be so embarrassed.
In desperation, Tang Xiaosheng had no choice but to let Yang Jing enter the door and accept her interview.
After walking into Tang's house, Yang Jing saw more than a dozen beauties in the living room, such as Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, and Zhao Min, who were eating dumplings. When she saw this scene, Yang Jing was not too surprised. Although Tang Xiaosheng did not publicly announce to the outside world that he would live with more than a dozen women, many viewers who watched "In Those Years, We Watched Film and Television Dramas Together" have already guessed that he will do this.
Knowing that Yang Jing came to interview Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, Wang Yuyan and others were very understanding and vacated the living room. So, Tang Xiaosheng accepted an exclusive interview with Yang Jing in the living room, and the photographer was also filming on the side.
Once you are seated, the interview officially begins.
Yang Jing gently and slowly recalled: "Two weeks ago, I went to the cinema to watch "The Film and Television Dramas We Watched Together in Those Years". In the process of watching it, I always felt that this movie was a fairy tale at all because it was so beautiful. So, what does this film mean to you? ”
Tang Xiaosheng shook his head: "I don't know what to do, because this movie is still affecting my life now." ”
"The story in the movie continues in your life?"
"Almost."
Yang Jing said: "Life is like a play, I think this sentence is probably the most appropriate to describe your experience, your life experience is even more exciting." Last year, your three films topped the top three grossing films in the world, accounting for half of the global box office gross, an almost impossible task that you did with ease. 2017 is also known as the 'Year of Tang Xiaosheng' in the film industry, what do you think is the secret of such great success? ”
Tang Xiaosheng said lightly: "The success of the three films is due to the excellent completion of their respective work by the entire film production team on the one hand, and the love and support of hundreds of millions of viewers across the country on the other hand. Many audiences who enter the cinema are not all because of the movie, but because the box office of the movie will be used for charity, and watching the movie itself has become a public welfare activity. ”
Yang Jing further asked: "Using the box office of the movie for public welfare, is this a new business model you are trying?" Or rather. A new model of philanthropy? ”
"It's not." Tang Xiaosheng denied. He originally filmed "Journey to the West" to find Zixia, and his charity was also to expand the influence of the movie "Journey to the West".
"And for what?" Yang Jing asked curiously, "Many people still don't understand, you spent a lot of money to make a movie in such a hurry, but the box office was all donated, what are you trying to do?" ”
Tang Xiaosheng thought for a while and asked, "Can you not answer this question?" ”
"Absolutely. Why don't you answer? ”
"Because if I had to answer, I would only give you a false answer." It was impossible for Tang Xiaosheng to say that he was looking for Zixia, and he didn't want to make up a false reason for this question.
"Okay, I see what you mean." See him so candid. Yang Jing didn't stop at the point. After a pause, he said, "Still, I'm curious about the previous question." This year. Three of your films have been nominated for more than two dozen Academy Awards. Almost monopolized all the awards. From an obscure trick to today's world-renowned superstar. You've only had five years, what's the secret? ”
Tang Xiaosheng thought about it for a moment. Frankly: "It's luck." ”
"What is luck for you?"
"There are two main types of successful people in this world, one is a person who works very hard, and the other is a person who is lucky, and I belong to the latter."
"What exactly does your luck mean? Can you give an example? ”
"For example, I was lucky enough to meet my wife, Long'er, and her appearance changed my life. She helped me a lot and taught me a lot. I was able to change from a dragon actor to a leading actor, and Long Er contributed a lot. Tang Xiaosheng said truthfully.
Although Tang Xiaosheng has honed his acting skills for six years, if he hadn't met Xiaolongnu in 2012 and didn't have the incident of pretending to be crazy and stupid in a psychiatric hospital, he would not have been able to win the reputation of the king of acting, let alone the opportunity to star in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Yang Jing said: "In fact, many people may recognize that your success comes from their own efforts, and you have put in great efforts before you became famous. ”
Tang Xiaosheng said quietly: "There are many people in this world who work harder than me, but many of them have not succeeded, in the final analysis, it is actually because of my luck. If I had my luck and opportunity, many people would probably be more successful than I am now. ”
After listening to his explanation, Yang Jing remembered something and said: "Ten days ago, you announced that you would use the box office of "In Those Years, We Watched Together" to set up a 'dream fund' with the box office of tens of billions of dollars to fund all those who have dreams. The purpose of this dream fund is actually to provide opportunities for more people? ”
Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "Yes." Some people don't succeed, not because they don't work hard enough, but because they don't have the opportunity and don't see hope, which is essential for a person. The purpose of the existence of the Dream Fund is to provide help to all those who are working hard or willing to work hard, and to be brave enough to chase what they think is important. ”
Yang Jing asked curiously, "What is the most important thing to you?" ”
"What I'm doing right now."
"Can I understand it as acting?"
"Yes."
"Many people feel sorry for you to quit the film and television industry, and I really hope that you can stay and see more movies or TV series you have made." Yang Jing also knew the reason for Tang Xiaosheng's retreat, so she didn't mention it much, but asked seriously, "Will you come back in the future and film again?" ”
Tang Xiaosheng thought for a while and said, "I can't say for sure what will happen in the future, if one day I suddenly want to film again, maybe I'll come back again." ”
Yang Jing said: "I think many viewers are looking forward to seeing your next work. ”
Tang Xiaosheng smiled slightly, did not speak, in his heart, he was actually ready to retreat for a hundred years.
Yang Jing's interview lasted nearly two hours, and the whole interview process was carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere. Yang Jing asked all the questions she wanted to ask, and Tang Xiaosheng answered all the questions he could.
When the interview ended, Yang Jing, on behalf of CCTV's "Moving China" program team, presented the trophy of "Moving China" to Tang Xiaosheng in advance, because they had already guessed that Tang Xiaosheng would not attend the awards party.
After awarding the award, Yang Jing's interview task was basically completed, and she didn't dare to disturb Tang Xiaosheng any more, so she left Baiyang Village that afternoon. Before leaving, Yang Jing, in her personal capacity, expressed her heartfelt wishes to Tang Xiaosheng, Long Xiaoxue and others.
The next day, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Xiaosheng, Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min and other families of more than a dozen people were the same as the previous New Year, they also pasted Spring Festival couplets, set off fireworks, and ate Chinese New Year's Eve meals......
In an atmosphere of joy and happiness, they ushered in a new year.
In addition to the Chinese New Year, they actually have a more important thing to do, that is, they are making the most difficult preparations for the retreat plan. After two months of investigation and consideration, the location of the retreat has been basically determined, and everything is in place.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, that is, on February 23, the 90th Academy Awards hosted by the Academy of Film Sciences and Arts was held as scheduled. Before going to the United States, Zhang Zhizong once got in touch with Tang Xiaosheng and wanted to go to the United States with him, but unfortunately, Tang Xiaosheng finally insisted on his original decision and continued to stay at home to accompany his wife and parents for the New Year.
The next day, February 24, the "Moving China" awards party hosted by CCTV officially met the audience. Tang Xiaosheng, one of the winners, also did not attend the party, but at the awards party that night, the TV station broadcast a few minutes of clips of Yang Jing's interview with Tang Xiaosheng in Baiyang Village a few days ago.
When the audience in front of the TV saw these clips, they thought they were just ordinary interview videos. They never thought that these video clips turned out to be the last video material that Tang Xiaosheng left to the world, and his conversation in the video also became Tang Xiaosheng's last words to the world.
After February 24, Tang Xiaosheng disappeared from everyone's vision as if the world had evaporated. No one ever saw him again, no one knew where he had gone, and no one even knew whether he was dead or alive.
In the nearly 100 years that followed, there was no news about Tang Xiaosheng's whereabouts on Earth.
Of course, Tang Xiaosheng is not dead, he just took Xiaolongnu, Wang Yuyan, Ren Yingying, Guo Xiang, Xiao Zhao, Gan Nineteen Sisters, Dongfang Undefeated, Zixia, Qingxia, Bai Jingjing, Xiao Huang Rong, Bai Xiaoxiao and more than a dozen beauties to a place where no one knows the way.
