The most popular movie star in China in 1930 was neither Ruan Lingyu nor Hu Die, but Yang Naimei, who became popular with "The Soul of Jade Pear". According to the entertainment industry in later generations, Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu are still just popular flowers, while Yang Naimei belongs to the first sister in the film industry who has debuted for a long time.

At tonight's dance, before Zhou Hexuan and others appeared, Yang Naimei was undoubtedly the focus of the audience. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Guangdong, and she was already a popular figure when she was studying in a noble girls' school, with speeches, singing, dancing, and acting, plus beautiful looks and elegant manners, it is difficult not to become a socialite in the social circle.

Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die are just daughters of ordinary people, where can they compare to Yang Naimei? is also a female star, and the rich daughter's compulsion is much higher.

"Miss Yang, have you been making any movies lately?" Yang Hu asked with a smile while holding a wine glass.

"I just finished filming a film, and I'm resting at home these days." Yang Naimei's eyebrows were flirtatious, and her eyes were full of temptation.

Yang Hu was itchy and said with a smile: "I also happen to be free, let's go play billiards together tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow," Yang Naimei wanted to indulge, "I'm a little inconvenient tomorrow." You know, women have a few days a month. ”

Yang Hu was instantly disappointed, and said with a cold face: "Every time I make an appointment with you, I say that it is inconvenient, you can make an appointment by yourself!" ”

"That'...... Then next weekend. Yang Naimei didn't dare to offend Yang Hu.

Yang Hu was originally the commander of the Shanghai garrison, but because he was involved in the tobacco smuggling case, he was dismissed by Chen Dezheng (which involved the factional struggle of the Kuomintang party). Now his position is the director of the Shanghai Security Department, in charge of all gangs in Shanghai, and even Du Yuesheng has to give him face.

Looking at the entire Shanghai Beach, Yang Hu is not afraid of anyone, only Wang Yaqiao's stunned youth.

Now Yang Hu is at the peak of his life, and has "controlled" all the gangs except the Axe Gang, and the three sects and nine streams in Shanghai collectively respect him as the "big brother". This made his mentality extremely inflated, and his actions gradually became arrogant and domineering, and he even had the idea of competing for power and profit with Chang Kaishen in Shanghai and being on an equal footing.

Others are afraid of Chang Kaishen, but Yang Hu is not afraid, he and Chang Kaishen are brothers in distress, and they have seen Chang Kaishen's most depressed appearance.

However, Yang Hu will not be at large for long, and in a few months, Chang Kaishen will attack him, be removed from his real power, and be reappointed to the fictitious post of "Fourth Central Supervisory Committee of the Kuomintang".

Since then, Yang Hu has become more and more dissatisfied with Chang Kaishen, and gradually began to contact with our party members. During the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of Shanghai by New China, Yang Hu quietly made a lot of efforts, and finally even stood on the viewing platform of the founding ceremony of New China.

It's a pity that the dog can't change its eating, and Yang Hu can't enjoy the glory and wealth in New China, so he rebelled again and became a spy for the Kuomintang, and was finally sentenced to a suspended death sentence by the people's court, executed outside of prison, and died of illness in the hospital.

Just when Yang Hu and Yang Naimei were eyebrow-to-eye, Wu Tiecheng suddenly walked over and said with a smile: "Director Yang is so interested." ”

"It turned out to be Executive Committee Member Wu, why did you come to Shanghai too?" Yang Hu let go of Yang Naimei and said condescendingly.

Wu Tiecheng explained: "Isn't Nanjing about to have a meeting? I made a special trip to Shanghai to accompany Zhang Hanqing and pick him up in Nanjing. ”

Yang Hu suddenly heard the noise at the door, pointed over there and said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, Zhang Hanqing is here!" ”

All the celebrities who participated in the dance all walked towards Zhang Xueliang, and Wu Tiecheng stepped forward quickly to shake hands with Zhang Xueliang: "Han Shuai, long time no see!" ”

"Hello Mr. Wu." Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.

Wu Tiecheng hurriedly shook hands with Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time. ”

"Each other, each other." Zhou Hexuan said.

The focus of the audience instantly shifted from Yang Hu and Yang Naimei to Zhang Xueliang and Zhou Hexuan, and even Miss Jiang Si and Ruan Lingyu who were around them were deliberately flattered.

Although Ruan Lingyu is a popular movie star, she is introverted and weak, and never participates in such social gatherings. She stood beside Zhou Hexuan nervously, shaking hands with the visitor dizzily, and the smile on her face was extremely stiff.

Ruan Lingyu instantly felt what it meant to be in the upper circle, where all the party and government officials, wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Shanghai were here. There were some names she had heard, some she had no memory of at all, these people she could only look up to before, but now they shook hands with her warmly one by one.

Ruan Lingyu is not a vain woman, but at this moment, her vanity is greatly satisfied, and she feels that her vision has instantly improved a hundredfold. In the past, a down-and-out son, Zhang Damin, made Ruan Lingyu anxious, but now he feels that Zhang Damin is nothing more than that.

Sure enough, what my mother said made sense, and it was indeed a good choice to follow Mr. Zhou.

Whether it is Ruan Lingyu or Miss Jiang Si, they are all glamorous when they come to the ball. I feel pity for the former, and people can't help but want to hold it in their arms and cherish it; The beauty of the latter traditional Jiangnan woman is perfectly combined with the modern Western style, which makes people involuntarily want to pursue it.

Coupled with the addition of Zhang Xueliang and Zhou Hexuan's dance partners, the popular star Yang Naimei will be compared immediately.

All the men around her just now dispersed, Yang Naimei was so angry that her teeth itched, she didn't like this feeling of being ignored.

This woman is not simple.

Yang Naimei is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Guangzhou, and her father resolutely opposes her playing, so Yang Naimei ran away from home directly. In the most difficult time of her life, she even dared to accept Zhang Zongchang's invitation and go north to Shandong alone.

The business was done very well, Zhang Zongchang played the sign of a popular movie star in Shanghai, and semi-forcibly invited Shandong tycoons to participate in the ball, and the dance ticket was 1,000 yuan per person.

In the end, Zhang Zongchang not only played with beautiful stars, but also made a lot of money by holding a ball. And Yang Naimei returned to Shanghai with a huge amount of money, opened a film company and became the boss, from a popular movie star to a rich woman with a net worth of 200,000 oceans.

In the past few years, Yang Naimei's development was not bad, and she invested in several popular movies. But she gradually indulged in the drunkenness of paper and gold, because of opium addiction and gambling, the family property of more than 200,000 yuan has almost failed.

The first woman in China to own a car for her own use, the first woman in China to expose her calves and socks in public, once lost 80,000 silver dollars overnight, and even lived as a beggar on the streets of Hong Kong in her later years.

It's sad, it's sad.

After the dance music sounded, Yang Naimei refused several invitations and stayed by Zhang Xueliang's side to wait for the opportunity. It's a pity that Zhang Xueliang and Miss Jiang Si are not involved with me at all, so she started Zhou Hexuan's idea.

"Miss Ruan, let's dance together." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Ruan Lingyu shook her head and said, "I'm not very good." ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "You studied in an aristocratic girls' school, and you must have learned to dance." ”

Just when Ruan Lingyu was hesitating whether to agree, Yang Naimei suddenly came over and said, "Mr. Zhou, can I dance with you?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have a dance partner." ”

Yang Naimei was stunned on the spot, there was actually a man who could refuse her charm, and her self-esteem was seriously hit. She smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and quietly glared at Ruan Lingyu, transferring all her resentment to Ruan Lingyu.

Ruan Lingyu was led onto the dance floor by Zhou Hexuan, her dancing skills were not bad, but she was a little rusty, and she gradually got better under the guidance of Zhou Hexuan.

Zhou Hexuan is tall and handsome, and Ruan Lingyu is also tall. The pair of them danced and danced, which was more eye-catching and pleasing to the eye than Zhang Xueliang and Miss Jiang Si, and the reporters present took pictures of the two of them frantically.

The gossip news came out the next day, one is a world-famous university scholar, and the other is a popular star, and the attention is no less than that of Zhang Xueliang's pair.

"Bastard!"

Looking at the newspaper's crazy praise of Ruan Lingyu, Yang Naimei was so angry that she smashed her glass. When Miss Jiang Si was in the limelight a few days ago, she was not jealous, after all, she was not a person in a circle, but Ruan Lingyu made Yang Naimei very unhappy, she felt that her status as the first sister in the film industry was not guaranteed.
