Chapter 322: The First Twenty Years, the Last Forty Years
Chen Hao found Qiao Xinmei at the mahjong table in the village store. As soon as his car stopped at the door, the store was already bustling.
A big celebrity appeared in the small village. Now Chen Hao is a big celebrity who has made a name for himself. You can see the movies made by our Haozi on the Internet, you can hear the songs composed and sung by our Haozi, and you can see Haozi participating in variety shows on TV every week. If such a person is not considered a celebrity, then what kind of person is considered a celebrity?
Watching her son giving cigarettes to uncles, aunts and grandmas, Qiao Xinmei's face was always filled with a proud and happy smile. She still remembered the years when her son drifted in Beijing. Whenever she talked about her children with others, others were kind and gave her advice: "Why don't you let your boy learn to drive a taxi in the future?"
"Or learn to be a chef. There is a shortage of chefs everywhere now."
"I think we should let the boy come back. We can't let him wander around like this. It would be bad if he suffers a little loss without an adult by his side."
At that time, facing the attitude of others who always said the opposite of what they meant, Qiao Xinmei frowned every time and worried for several days. She would call her son to know that he was safe before she could feel at ease.
Time flies. What is the meaning of thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west? A few years ago, the old Chen family went bankrupt and a prodigal boy came out. Yuanping fought for this boy all his life. In a short time, the Chen family became a celebrity household in the surrounding villages. Who doesn't know the old Chen family? If you say you don't know them, someone will definitely wonder how you grew up here.
Now when you look at Chen Hao, everything about him is pleasing to the eye, and you can't wait to hug him and kiss him. The filming of an online movie not only gives the villagers around Erlong Lake an opportunity to make money, but also friends who drive by here every day. When they learn that this is Erlong Lake, they buy two fish to eat. After all, it is a place that has been on TV.
The leaders of the city also saw the lucrative profits of the tourism project at the first time. Chen Hao once set up a lakeside villa where the owner held a certain share. Now it is so popular that it is packed every day, just like bamboo shoots that have sprung up overnight. Along the Erlong Lake, several restaurants, villas, farmhouses, and fishing parks have been built. Even if we don’t count on tourists from other places, local and surrounding tourists want to talk about our local pride when they want to eat. They have to mention Erlong Lake. In this Meicheng area, the artists in Erlong Lake have become celebrities. When Xu He, the actor of Lao Si, performs in the Errenzhuan Theater, he must be the last one to appear. When he appears, the whole audience applauds and screams, and gives flowers and wine as rewards. He has directly upgraded several levels compared to the past. In Meicheng, he is a well-deserved Errenzhuan star, but he doesn’t necessarily perform every day. If you want Lao Si to perform, you have to queue up.
As a villager of Lianquan Village, after Erlong Lake was developed, as long as you are a villager of Lianquan Village in your household registration, there is a policy to do some small business around Erlong Lake. This is also the benefit that Chen Hao has sought for his hometown. For example, if you want to set up a stall in the Erlong Lake scenic area, there is a fixed fee in a fixed area. Villagers of Lianquan Village enjoy preferential treatment.
The three or five yuan discount is a word-of-mouth reputation for ordinary people. When you go to other places, you are proud to mention that you are from Lianquan Village. You raise your head and speak in a higher tone when talking to people.
"Haozi, when will you shoot the second part? Then come to our village and give your third aunt a chance to show her face." The third aunt of the old Zhao family played mahjong with her mother.
"That's right, Haozi, if you shoot again, you have to come to our village to see if my house is newly built. If you need to take a scene, your fourth uncle's house is the first choice." The fourth uncle of the family, a distant relative.
"My firewood pile is ready for you, just waiting for you." The eldest sister-in-law of Lao Wang joked, obviously remembering the plot of Chen Hao and Qingtian drilling into the firewood pile in the play.
You talk and I talk, everyone chats around Chen Hao, there is a movie that has become famous in their hometown. If you ask what movies are made before, few people know, but now everyone knows it very well, just like half a movie fan, a kind of pride makes them understand this industry in depth, and being able to get close and intimate with it makes them interested in this industry, plus a little bit of expectation, who knows when I can be on TV.
Look at the second brother.
Everyone forgot what his name was before, but now they all call him the second brother enthusiastically. In the suburban market, who doesn't know him? To put it bluntly, Chen Hao doesn't need to pay for him in supermarkets, meat shops, and fruit shops. Many people come to take pictures with him every day. Smoking is a small matter. Whoever sees the second brother and doesn't give him a cigarette, whoever records a video must buy some fruit and beef for the second brother.
Even the villagers in the market and nearby villages, who used to dislike Lao Er, now smile when they see him. Now that Chen Hao pays the bill, most of the time they don’t dare to cheat on the food they get, and sometimes they don’t have to keep a record, just treat it as a gift to him. In the past, he was seen as a scoundrel, but now he has become a celebrity, still behaving the same way as before, teasing this and that, and joking with that, he is even cuter than before.
Look at Wang Dapeng.
He failed to compete with Chen Yuanping for the village director, and was punished severely by Chen Hao again. His home was torn down to fulfill Chen Hao's dominance on the Internet. After that, he has always been depressed. Who would have thought that Haozi was so generous? They also asked him to make a movie, and they made it right away, and became an instant hit. In the whole movie, apart from Wang Cho Lam and these Internet celebrities, Wang Dapeng was the most famous. In a short period of time, many people have given him praise for his performance. , the half-baked duo he once learned has now become his business performance method, and he does not need to go to the stage to sing the duo seriously, as long as he can speak eloquently. A commercial performance lasted for 20 to 30 minutes, and he went on stage to share with everyone the filming of "Brother Erlonghu Hao" Some of the content of "" lasts only ten minutes. You sing two songs at random, someone gives you flowers to express your gratitude, and you say a few funny jokes from the duo, and the performance is over.
He is not performing in one place. When the music market was in recession before, some singers only needed one hit to become famous. They performed commercially all over the country and ignored the media. The local audience had not seen your performance. So no matter what your performance looks like, everyone thinks it is very good. With a set of performance content, Wang Dapeng will not have to worry about the content of the performance within half a year. He only needs to follow the team all day long.
Chen Hao's agency hired a special agent, and also asked Wang Dapeng to hire an assistant himself. If you can't find a suitable one, the company will arrange it for you, and the company will also pay the salary and other expenses.
With the lessons learned from the past, it is natural for the villagers to be enthusiastic about Chen Hao from the perspective of general direction and personal wishes. They all call Haozi to come home for dinner. If Chen Hao had just returned from Yanjing with that enthusiasm, he would be very grateful. , he still remembers the small bus that was traveling from the village to the city, and the eyes of those who clearly recognized him even though they didn't speak to him, he can't forget it to this day, although fear occupied the majority there, and it was a bit of a look. Chen Hao couldn't forget it even if he didn't want to stay away, resist, and dismiss it. He was reminded all the time that as a human being, if you are not in the realm, you are eager to succeed. If you don't succeed, you will be inferior to others. Success is the only way. You are the master.
Now, this passion is really just a passion.
Passionate people are often ruthless, and generous people are often stingy in small details. Chen Hao never denied this, for no other reason than that they were a group of people who were destined not to have much interaction with him in life. But in the past three years, he thought of his parents and relatives, and what they had to bear for him. It is difficult to truly let go of some people. Now that you have succeeded, you can at most not think about it and learn to forget it, but it is also difficult to accept it again.
"Son, you must have suffered a lot in Africa. Tell your mother, where did you go after that? You have lost weight and become darker."
Back home, Qiao Xinmei touched Chen Hao's face with a look of distress on her face, which made Chen Hao have to smile: "Mom, this is a healthy bronzer, okay? How many people want to have it, they have to go to a special equipment It’s not good to use artificial light in the room and it doesn’t cost your son a penny.”
Qiao Xinmei lightly hammered Chen Hao: "Go, stop talking nonsense, go sit in the room, and mom will prepare something delicious for you."
Chen Hao smiled and responded: "Hey. Mom, let me help you."
Qiao Xinmei nodded. This was a moment that belonged to mother and son. Neither Chen Gang nor Chen Er took advantage of the situation. Taking advantage of this time, the two of them also went home to see how their mother was doing and how their newly formed family was. , life is also prosperous, Zhang Dongmei started a new family, the brothers gave away the decoration and appliances of the entire house, and also allowed the mother to be more rigid in the new family. Every time they see their mother's happy smile, the brothers I will also feel very relieved that I will not have to worry about working hard outside.
In the first twenty years, the mother raised her son, worried about him, and worked hard for him.
For the next forty years, my son raised me to make my mother happy and happy.
Many times, happiness is like this, each other can feel each other's presence, even if it's just the mother and son cooking a meal together, it's not a big meal, stew the ribs, stir-fry a side dish, put the pickles on the table, and then eat It's also fragrant.
"What? You want to move out? Why? This house has just been renovated with so much money. You want to move out? No, I don't agree."
After dinner, when Chen Hao mentioned that he wanted to move to the studio, he received firm opposition from his mother. When Chen Gang and Chen Er secretly took Chen Hao's clothes away, they did not dare to tell Qiao Xinmei. They also felt that this It was better for Brother Hao to come back and speak for himself. As everyone expected, Qiao Xinmei had a stern face and looked like she should stay away from strangers.
