Chapter 1042 Brave Heart

The conversation didn't get the result he wanted, and it was even completely different from what he imagined. When it was time for dinner, Zhou Baoshan couldn't hide what was on his mind, and his face naturally showed a little bit of dissatisfaction.

After drinking a few glasses of wine with the old man of Zhong's family and eating a little something, he took out his mobile phone and notified his driver to pick it up.

Seeing his appearance, Zhong Yuanfu hesitated for a while, but instead of pulling him to drink or eat more like Zhong's father, he put down the bowls, chopsticks and cups, and said, "Just now I said to take you to see my garage What about the things in the garage, why don't you two go to my garage and have a look?"

Zhou Baoshan forced a smile and shook his head, "No, I didn't feel it when I got off the plane, but now I feel very tired. I'd better go back to sleep!" He said to Father Zhong: "Master, don't worry, I'll be back in two days Drink with you."

Papa Zhong also noticed that something was wrong, but he just nodded with a smile and said yes.

After sitting for another ten minutes, Zhou Baoshan reckoned that the driver was coming soon, so he simply got up and said goodbye. Zhong Yuanfu stopped the others and sent him out by himself.

The sky was already completely dark, there was no moon, and there were only stars in the sky.

The two brothers stood in front of Zhong Yuanfu's villa, and had nothing to say for a while.

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

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

Zhong Yuanfu's face suddenly turned ugly.

Seeing Zhong Yuanfu's chubby body standing there, he was slightly embarrassed, but he still greeted with a smile, "Brother Zhong! Why did you still send it out?"

Zhong Yuanfu smiled quickly, and before Zhou Baoshan could say goodbye to him, he waved his hand and said to Hu Yuanhe and the driver who was getting off the car: "You guys drive in the front and wait at the gate of the community. Baoshan and I If you eat too much, take a stroll, and then get into the car at the door. Otherwise, it will be bad for your health to just ride the car! Go!"

With the last "Go", Zhong Yuanfu, instead of smiling at everyone and everything like Maitreya Buddha in the past, suddenly spoke in an extremely firm tone, as if he could not be refuted.

Hu Yuan and the driver were all stunned there.

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

Hu Yuan seemed to feel something, smiled a little embarrassedly, and got back into the car.

The car drove off quickly.

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

After deliberating for a while, he said: "Brother, I don't know why Lao Hu is in my car..."

Zhong Yuanfu suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.

Then he stopped, and after a while he said slowly: "Old Hu has some thoughts, it's normal, you are too popular now. As a manager, how much benefit can he get if he eats in the company? If he encourages you to leave Minghu, in the future you After going out, there must be someone to help you talk about things and make contact with the outside world. At that time, how much benefit does he have in private? How much money? It's just human nature!"

Having said that, he turned around, looked at Zhou Baoshan seriously, and said, "Xiao Bao, can you tell me about it? What do you think?"

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head and did not speak.

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

After a long while, Zhou Baoshan finally raised his head and said, "Senior Brother, I have no other intentions. I was made popular by Lord Qian. I am more grateful to him than anyone else! But I think he has always been They are deliberately targeting me!"

Zhong Yuanfu frowned slightly upon hearing this, but did not speak.

Zhou Baoshan's tone was a little excited, and he said emotionally: "I know better than anyone else that Lord Qian is a very great and powerful director. As long as I follow him, as long as he is willing to praise me, I, Zhou Baoshan, will always be popular. Go on, it's very popular! But... didn't I just scold a drama manager? I apologized afterwards! But he still ran over on purpose, making things very big, as if I did something big wrong !"

There was some obvious aggrieved expression on his face, and he looked very dissatisfied, and said: "It's not been a day or two for us to be actors, we all know that those actors in the circle are far worse than me, they have only acted What? How much box office did they get? But their score is much bigger than mine! It’s only when they play big names! Compared with them, what did I do? As for what happened to me?”

Zhong Yuanfu still did not speak, hugged his shoulders, and pressed his lips tightly.

Zhou Baoshan shook his hands as if venting, and said: "I did a small thing, yes, I did something wrong, it was wrong, but I have apologized! I still have to make such a big splash to lose my face! Okay, I will bear it! Lord Qian is my benefactor, without his appreciation and support, I, Zhou Baoshan, would still be a little bitch! Even if he slapped me in public, I would have nothing to say, I would kneel down and kowtow to him, begging him not to Angry! But..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Baoshan lowered his head again for a moment, then raised his head and said: "But I'm already popular, he can't always treat me as something? I'm not the little trick he admired at the beginning Yes! He has already picked me up... Brother, I am not as smart as you, and I am not as thorough as you. Yes, that time when you went to the crew of "Shaolin Temple" together, Lord Qian talked to me a lot, and he told me , Let me get down to filming, he can take me to a higher place! At that time, you also mentioned to me the master back then... But I just can't understand, since he valued me so much, why did he praise me so much? Always press me?"

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

Zhou Baoshan hesitated for a moment, probably because he felt that the person opposite him was his closest and most trusted brother, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I think he is scared!"

"Afraid? Afraid of what? Afraid of whom? You?" Zhong Yuanfu asked repeatedly in surprise.

Zhou Baoshan nodded.

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

Zhong Yuanfu smiled, but quickly put away his smile.

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

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

Zhong Yuanfu nodded with a look of understanding.

"It's very thoughtful," he said.

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

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head when he heard the words, then raised his head after a while, and said, "My contract with the company will expire in about one year. As long as the company offers to renew the contract, I will..."

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

Zhou Baoshan said: "That means the company doesn't want me anymore."

Now Zhong Yuanfu understood.

After thinking for a while, he turned back and forth in a few half circles, 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: "I understand what kind of person Qian is. He is very humble on the outside, but he is actually more proud than anyone else in his heart. You are promoted by him, and it is impossible for him to bow to you. So... Now that you have this plan, then basically... well, after one year, break up peacefully!"

"But as long as you leave Minghu...Xiaobao, think about it clearly, you will be cut off from Minghu and Columbia. Have you ever thought about it? Maybe you won't find "Once Upon a Time" and "The Matrix" You! See what it means to yourself?"

Zhou Baoshan didn't think about it when he heard the words, and replied directly: "Brother, you don't need to scare me. There are many examples in Hollywood. Everyone knows that the sequel movies are all companies looking for actors. As long as the movie is a big hit, If the company wants to make a sequel, it will pay the original crew far more than the first film. Because the sequel made by the original crew is almost guaranteed to be a big hit, no one is willing to take the risk of replacing the original cast for a little salary. People and horses..."

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

What he said made Zhong Yuanfu stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Then, he nodded slowly, "It seems that you have considered everything very clearly!"

Zhou Baoshan suddenly lowered his head again, and after a while, he said, "As long as there is a way, I won't..."

Zhong Yuanfu waved his hand and interrupted him, "I've already talked to this point, there's no need to talk about this anymore!"

Up to this point, even though Zhong Yuanfu had a lot of ingenuity and knew Zhou Baoshan very well, he didn't know what to say. He paused, as if extremely distressed, he finally thought of another question, and asked quickly : "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 Lord Qian, then in the future..."

Zhou Baoshan shook his head, a resolute smile rarely appeared on his face, and he interrupted his senior brother's words slowly but resolutely. He said: "Brother, will Lord Qian be right forever? Will he never make mistakes?"

Zhong Yuanfu was surprised.

After a while, he said: "At least up to now, he has never missed it."

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

Of course this is for sure.

Zhong Yuanfu nodded.

Zhou Baoshan then said again: "I can't guarantee that I won't make mistakes. I'm far behind Lord Qian. But, senior brother, have you ever thought about it? I've already become famous, and even a little stumbling is not enough. You hit me and let me down! Right? I’m popular! And I’m good, Lao Hu is good, we’ve been with Lord Qian for so long, we’ve seen a lot of popular movies, and we’ve seen a lot of losers I’m not a newcomer, neither of us, we already have the basic ability to judge.”

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

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

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

He is red.

There are too many temptations before him.

And when he tried to get rid of these temptations for him, it was already impossible——he didn't want to. He likes these things.

And I can feel that since Li Qian and Zou Wenhuai drove over and beat the crew of "Shaolin Temple" playing big names, now half a year has passed, he seems to have considered it very clearly.

Right or wrong, at least he knew exactly what he wanted.

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

"It's not us, it's you!" He sighed, and said, "I don't have anything to say, you've already thought it over clearly. You're an adult, and you're more popular than Senior Brother. What do you want, what do you want?" How to do it, senior brother can’t persuade you anymore, and... also can’t talk to you. What you want to do, just do it. But... Senior brother won’t go, really, senior brother wishes you a prosperous life outside, But senior brother has no ambitions. Senior brother feels that it is quite comfortable to eat with Lord Qian now. But... no matter where you go, remember, I will always be your senior brother. If you have difficulties, just come back! Senior brother help You bear it!"

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

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

While speaking, he had already turned around and walked towards his home.

Zhou Baoshan didn't shout "Brother", after all.

…………

He walked to the gate of the villa area alone and got in the car. The manager Hu Yuan leaned over from the front and said, "I called Lao He, and Lao He said that you are eating here, so I asked him to drop me by the way." Got it, I was thinking about going back to tell you something later, I didn't expect Brother Zhong..."

Zhou Baoshan waved his hands, leaned on the backrest, and closed his eyes.

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

The nanny at home asked if he wanted to cook, Zhou Baoshan waved him away, but Hu Yuan said, "Baoshan has had some wine, get him some sober up, let's make a bowl of soup!"

The nanny agreed and walked away.

Hu Yuan looked at Zhou Baoshan with piercing eyes, and said, "Baoshan, don't hesitate at this time! 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, we talked about the past practice of martial arts with the master." There was a smile on his face, as if he was talking again Recalling the interesting things in the early years that I talked about just now.

Hu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he became more and more energetic, and said: "I came back early these days. I have contacted Dongfang Media, Jinghua Film, Huafei Film and Television, and many other film and television companies. Everyone said that as long as your work Once the room opens, they all welcome you in the past! It can be said..."

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

Hu Yuan was a little stunned.

Awed by Zhou Baoshan's sudden eruption at this moment, he said unnaturally after a while: "But, we must make some preparations for the future in advance, right? Or when the time comes..."

"When? When?"

Zhou Baoshan looked angry and asked loudly.

Hu Yuan was speechless.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, Zhou Baoshan hadn't said anything about quitting or becoming self-reliant, but the problem was that when he was in Jinhua Mansion back then, he seemed to be a little moved when he saw Zhou Baoshan under the anger.

Then, as a manager, he must make plans quickly and plan ahead.

Zhou Baoshan said seriously: "Brother Hu, I am very happy and grateful that you have planned for me, but I was picked up by Lord Qian. As long as he doesn't drive me away, I won't leave! I owe him so much." Too much, do you understand? Besides, I still have a one-year contract with Minghu. You go out to contact other companies so early. After the news gets out, how will people think of me? Say that I, Zhou Baoshan, have long wanted to betray Lord Qian ?"

Hu Yuan spread his hands, wanted to say something but stopped, and after repeated attempts, he managed to distinguish: "This kind of thing is of course confidential. I make appointments with those people, but they are also very secretive. Even if they exist Even if you want you to leave Minghu, you won't let this kind of thing out in advance..."

Zhou Baoshan stared at him with piercing eyes, "It won't happen in advance, so what about afterwards? Don't you think there will be various rumors coming out?"

Hu Yuan was surprised.

Recently, when the news that the company was preparing to build a studio for several people came out, he found out that Zhou Baoshan, the most popular among them, was not among them. Let Zhou Baoshan say this at this time, and he immediately understood.

Think about Liu Yan’s job-hopping a while ago, even if he leaves, it’s all about you and me, whether it’s Mr. Qi or Li Qian of Minghu Culture, we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, at least on the surface, there’s no way to embarrass Liu Yan at all. the meaning of. And it is said that Liu Yan only started to contact other companies outside after she got the company's approval. Therefore, although she left, her reputation has not been damaged.

So he immediately stood up, nodded, and said: "Baoshan, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will be honest and do nothing. Let's wait until the contract is over, okay?"

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

After a long time, Hu Yuan thought that he would not say anything, and was about to say goodbye and leave when he suddenly opened his mouth again.

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

Hu Yuan replied immediately, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

But after a while, Zhou Baoshan said again: "When you go back to the company, please keep an eye out for me to see if there are any recent film offers from Hollywood. If not, domestic film offers are also fine. First, help me choose a film first." .I can't be idle, I need to make more films, help the company earn more money, and repay Lord Qian!"

Hu Yuan froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! No problem! For the rest of the year, let's just keep our heads down and shoot the film without saying anything."

After a pause, he said: "It's just a matter of time to wait and see the situation. There is still room for change in everything. Let's not be in a hurry. While receiving the film, we will watch the situation and decide what to do next. It won't be too late."

Zhou Baoshan nodded slowly.

…………

When Hu Yuan left, Zhou Baoshan slumped on the sofa, suddenly feeling very tired.

In fact, it was even more tiring when I worked as a group performer in the film and television city of Jinhuafu. I waited for the scene every day, and often stayed up until late at night after filming, and I didn't have much money to earn.

But at that time, my heart was relaxed, I didn’t have to think about anything, my senior brother had everything, I just followed him, he changed his clothes, and I changed my clothes, he rushed up, and with a sound of “ah”, he died, and he Do the same.

But there was also a problem at that time, day after day was like that, there was no hope in sight, and I didn't know what kind of new crew would be waiting for me tomorrow, what kind of life would be like.

Afterwards, the transfer began.

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

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

Earn a lot of money, make one hit and one hit, and each one is a hit!

From "Huang Feihong", to "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", and then to "The Matrix", there are only three plays, and in just three years, I have been on the list of 99% of the actors in the world. The pinnacle that can't be reached!

And at that time, Lord Qian was there for everything, so there was no need to think about it.

But from now on, everything has to be planned for oneself.

tired. really tired. I'm tired of thinking about it.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking: No wonder senior brother doesn't want to mess around like himself. He is a smart person, but he is too lazy. Once life is a little more comfortable and stable, he will lose his wits. I just want to lie at home and enjoy a comfortable life, swallowing clouds, eating meat and drinking heavily, and the pair of sisters, etc... He is so smart, probably because he thought about what he was thinking right now in the morning Bar? But he was too lazy, and he didn't want to suffer from it anymore.

Of course, it is also possible that...he hasn't reached his current stage yet, he is not as popular as himself, so even if he thinks about it, he doesn't dare—in fact, after thinking about it carefully, I can feel it over the years, the senior brother is quite timid of.

But I am different.

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

He bought and renovated this villa last year. Expensive.

However, no matter how luxurious this villa is, it is only one of the countless gains I have made in the past three years - luxury cars, big houses, famous fame, world-famous works, lying in the bank waiting to be invested. The savings, the massive snowflakes of film contracts, and the loyalty of the manager.

This is all gain.

But he knows that these are far from his end, nor should it be his end.

In my own future, there are better things waiting ahead.

Only brave and hard-working people like myself are eligible to take it!
