Chapter 1041 Fame and Fortune
The car stopped slowly in front of a villa.
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, the driver got out of the car first, went around the front of the car, and opened the rear door. Zhou Baoshan stepped out of the car door and walked down calmly. At this time, the driver has already rushed to the back, took out a large gift box from the trunk, and handed it to Zhou Baoshan.
Zhou Baoshan straightened his clothes, took the gift box, and then explained to the driver, "Just go back first, I will definitely eat at my senior brother's place."
The driver quickly agreed and turned around to get in the car.
Zhou Baoshan, on the other hand, carried the gift box, walked to the door of the villa, and rang the doorbell.
About ten seconds later, the door opened, and a fat body opened the door with a smile on his face, "When did you come back? Why didn't you call first?"
With a smile on his face, Zhou Baoshan said, "I just arrived. I haven't come home yet. I heard that the uncle and aunt are here. I'll come over and have a meal before going home."
Zhong Yuanfu laughed loudly, turned sideways to let the door open, "Come, come!"
When Zhou Baoshan entered the door, he saw Zhong Yuanfu's parents were there - when he joined his master to learn martial arts, he followed Zhong Yuanfu from the beginning. For a young apprentice like him, the master only gives tips, and many specific instructions on boxing and boxing are often the work of the seniors. Therefore, although Zhong Yuanfu is a senior, he is a bit like a master. From then on, Zhou Baoshan often went to Zhong's house to eat, and he knew Zhong's father and Zhong's mother very well.
When he entered the door, he called "Master and Auntie" first, still using the dialect of his hometown, and when he saw a girl coming out of the kitchen, he called "Hello sister-in-law" obediently!
This girl has been with Zhong Yuanfu for two years, but the wedding has not been held yet, because Zhong's parents look down on her - there is a reason for this, and Zhou Baoshan undoubtedly knows it very well.
Back then Zhong Yuanfu was still practicing martial arts with his master, and when his body hadn't become obese due to his practice going astray, he was considered a handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He liked a girl from the local hometown town, and there was a little bit of friendship between the two of them at one time. Talking about marriage meant getting married, but then something went wrong in his practice, and his health began to deteriorate rapidly. Coincidentally, the girl was admitted to university after that, and their master died shortly after.
After coming and going, the girls began to look down on Zhong Yuanfu a little bit, and finally, they broke up.
One is that the master passed away, and he was still shot. For martial arts practitioners, the death was a bit embarrassing, making a group of apprentices feel that they couldn't lift their heads, and they were very depressed. Second, Zhong Yuanfu was fat and broke in love. Yes, and it was also doomed that Kung Fu would never be able to enter the country again. Frustrated, he decided to go south and find any job to make ends meet.
It was from here that the brothers and sisters had a few years of career in Jinhua Film and Television City.
In the end, who would have thought that the two young brothers who escaped from the town in desperation back then would have no face to go back after so many years, but unexpectedly hit the big luck and became movie stars all of a sudden!
When people become popular and get rich, they naturally want to return to their hometowns.
At this time, the girl Zhong Yuanfu liked back then had graduated from university for several years and was married, but Zhong Yuanfu was unwilling. "Huang Feihong" had just finished filming and hadn't been released yet, but the film had already been paid. I don't know if it will be popular or not, but with money in his pocket, Zhong Yuanfu is more courageous. He is not afraid that the girl he liked back then is married, he knows that she has a younger sister who is prettier than her.
So, he first went back home with the money in his pocket, made some inquiries, and then returned to Shuntian Mansion.
At that time, the girl's younger sister was studying in university in Shuntianfu.
After going back and forth, the girl was moved, and the two soon began to live together.
However, when "Once Upon a Time" was released, it was discovered that Zhong Yuanfu, a big fat man, was going to become a movie star. His first love, who is now his girlfriend's sister, somehow got Zhong Yuanfu's phone number, and gave him a call. He called and expressed regret.
Zhong Yuanfu ignored her, after all they are married!
As a result, when Zhong Yuanfu returned home during the Chinese New Year, Zhong Yuanfu's first love girlfriend found that his sister was actually holding his ex-boyfriend's arm, and she immediately became furious—it was a big Chinese New Year, and the two sisters almost got into a fight on the spot.
As a result, before the end of the year, the couple returned to the city ahead of schedule. Later, it was said that after returning, the two divorced—then, she actually found Zhong Yuanfu's home in Shuntian Mansion, and told her sister that Zhong Yuanfu It is mine and you must return it to me.
Well, of course, the final ending of the story is quite satisfactory.
The two sisters lived in Zhong's house.
As a result, after going back and forth like this, even though the Zhong family's parents were farmers in a small town and didn't have much knowledge, they felt that the two sisters were not good-natured, and it was shameless to dislike the poor and love the rich. Therefore, the old man of the Zhong family said that no matter who the two sisters were, if Zhong Yuanfu dared to marry them, he would be kicked out of the house immediately and would not recognize him as his son.
The two sisters were in a hurry, but Zhong Yuanfu didn't act in a hurry. Anyway, they were married or not now, and the two sisters walked around his ankles, and they were better than puppies. He was very satisfied.
Of course, Zhou Baoshan could only think about such a beautiful blessing.
Although Zhong Yuanfu is also popular, in recent years, besides "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-improvement", he has also acted in three small and medium-budget movies, and he has also acted as the leading role in several TV dramas. He has made a lot of money, but he The red of Zhou Baoshan is obviously far from the red of Zhou Baoshan.
And the price of being popular is that you don't have time to pick up girls.
Not to mention that while avenging love like senior brother, he also collected flowers from a pair of sisters.
In this regard, whenever he was holding an English book and memorizing vocabulary in the middle of the night, Zhou Baoshan couldn't help thinking: at this time, the senior brother should be having a good time, right?
As Zhong Yuanfu himself said, he doesn't have any big ambitions, and he doesn't plan to become a big star, so it's fine if he just keeps filming like this. Even now that he has worked hard for a few years to save a little money, he is planning to take as few plays as possible in the future, except for the company's arrangements.
In his words, just enough money is enough to spend, the most important thing is to enjoy life!
Otherwise, what's the point of earning mountains of money but having no time to spend it?
At this time Zhou Baoshan came in, Zhong Yuanfu's mother saw the things in his hand, and suddenly said: "Xiao Bao, come as you come, what are you taking!"
Zhou Baoshan chuckled and said, "Ma'am, there's nothing good, it's not worth the money. It's just a little tonic. I know your elder brother is here, so I brought it here for you. I also brought a set of cosmetics for my two sisters-in-law. .”
Hearing Zhou Baoshan call "sister-in-law" again, Zhong's parents looked a little unhappy.
Fortunately, they didn't say anything. Papa Zhong pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
At this time, another one came out of the kitchen, his hands were still wet, he was supposed to be washing vegetables, but he came out in a hurry, and greeted Zhou Baoshan with a smile on his face, "Brother Baoshan is here?"--seriously speaking, when Zhong Yuanfu When we fell in love with her, Zhou Baoshan was a half-grown child, a kid who belonged to the type of food and drink that followed, and of course he had a sweet mouth at that time, and he called "sister-in-law and sister-in-law" a lot. So in fact, for Zhou Baoshan, this "sister-in-law" has a different meaning from her sister's "sister-in-law".
But, this is Zhong Yuanfu's business, and it's a matter in his boudoir. No matter how good he is, it's not easy for him to intervene. Let alone these two ordinary girls, even those third-tier stars who have gained some fame, and small models aged 17 or 18, wouldn't they be able to gather a large group of them just by waving, and pick whatever they want?
The entertainment industry has always been a Vanity Fair.
A successful person has always had the power to be extravagant and suave.
But for this "sister-in-law", Zhou Baoshan had a little more politeness brought over from his boyhood, and he called again seriously, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Zhou Baoshan put down his things, and just casually chatted with Zhong Yuanfu's parents—mainly greeting them and inquiring about the changes in his hometown. He also said that since they came this time, they would stay here for a few more days, so that they would also have time to come over and do their filial piety. Soon the two old people were very happy.
After talking for a while, seeing Zhong Yuanfu sitting on the side with a smile all the time, and seemed to have no intention of opening his mouth, Zhou Baoshan had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "Then what, uncle, aunt, you sit down first, and I will accompany my uncle to have a drink later." Two cups. But at this moment, I have something to talk to my senior brother, and ask him for advice or something."
While speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhong Yuanfu.
Only then did Zhong Yuanfu say "ah", with a look of sudden realization, he said: "Well... well, anyway, the meal will take a while, let's go up, and you can sit in my study."
Zhong's father and Zhong's mother waved happily, indicating that they should go talk.
The brothers and sisters quickly went up the stairs and arrived at Zhong Yuanfu's so-called "study room" on the second floor.
In fact, this should be regarded as his "smoking and drinking room".
As soon as Zhou Baoshan came in, he found that there were two wooden blocks on the desk, and there was something like sandpaper for polishing beside it. Then when he looked up, he saw at least ten or twenty bookshelves of various kinds on the bookshelf over there. pipe.
In the past six months, since he came back from the United States, he first went to shoot "Shaolin Temple" and then "Legend of the Bandits". Although he also visited Zhong Yuanfu's house a few times in the middle, he never came to the study. It has changed a lot.
After entering the room, Zhong Yuanfu seemed to subconsciously pick up a pipe, opened the imported shredded tobacco box, took out the shredded tobacco specially used for pipes, rubbed it, filled it, and lit it.
Zhou Baoshan has seen many people do this set of procedures.
Li Qian, Cao Zhan, and several others in the company are all pipe smokers.
However, he only knew that his elder brother was addicted to smoking, but he didn't know when she started smoking a pipe.
Seeing that he started to smoke, the large study room was filled with thick smoke, so Zhou Baoshan quickly got up and opened the window.
When he went back to sit down again, seeing Zhong Yuanfu smoking a cigarette very beautifully and enjoying himself, he couldn't help but ask first: "Brother, when did you start learning to smoke a pipe?" The block of wood with the hole drilled asked again: "Are you still learning to make a pipe?"
Zhong Yuanfu smiled and said: "It's not difficult to make a pipe, isn't it just a carpenter's job! But I just learned this craft, and it's purely my own. It can't be compared with our Master Qian's craft. I have consulted foreign masters in the UK. But I still have a complete set of tools. I will take you to my garage after dinner to have a look. The whole set of things! My first proud work is for Mr. Cao Yea, Master Cao said that my skills are not bad! When we talked about it last time, Master Qian also said that he would compete with me some other day, hehe!"
While speaking, he took a good sip.
The smoke sprayed out from his nostrils, enveloping him for a while, making Zhou Baoshan feel a little bit unable to see his senior brother's expression clearly in a trance.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
I just feel that the senior brother is still the same senior brother, but the senior brother seems to be different from the previous senior brother.
Of course, he didn't think much about it. At this time, he lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head, and said, "Brother, after attending the opening ceremony of Mr. Feng Yumin's studio a few days ago, Lao Hu went to Jinhua Mansion to find me. He Tell me……"
Before Zhou Baoshan finished speaking, Zhong Yuanfu said "Hi", interrupted Zhou Baoshan's words, and only heard him say: "This man, Lao Hu, still has some skills. He is a manager and negotiates prices with others. , the level is not bad, but I just listen to the wind and rain, and my mind is not steady, so don't listen to him talking nonsense to you all the time!"
Zhou Baoshan stunned him for a moment.
"But he told me..."
"studio?"
Zhong Yuanfu suddenly laughed and interrupted him again.
Zhou Baoshan looked at him and nodded slowly, "He said, in addition to signing Feng Yumin's studio, the company plans to open studios for four people in the next year, two directors, Han Shunzhang, Jin Han , and two actors, He Yingyu and Bai Yujing."
Zhong Yuanfu was neither surprised nor surprised when he heard the words, as if it was the first time he heard about it, he groped for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, it's appropriate! Nothing to say!"
Zhou Baoshan opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
On the same day, the manager brought the news and went to Jinhua Mansion to tell him about it in person. Although he didn't reveal anything in person, after having dinner together and sending the manager away, he felt really useless in his heart. . That night, standing in front of the luxurious floor-to-ceiling windows of the presidential suite of the five-star hotel, he opened a bottle of wine and drank half of it without taste, feeling an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
After finally finishing filming "Legend of the Bandit", he hurried back without seeing anyone, and was the first to meet his dearest senior brother, but his senior brother's reaction seemed to be taken for granted?
Isn't he redder than He Yingyu?
Why does senior brother take it for granted?

There was a delay during the day, and I couldn't code, and it was even later, sorry.
