Chapter 1063: A New Beginning

The door was suddenly pushed open.

The movement was a bit loud, Zhou Baoshan turned his head with some dissatisfaction, and then he was stunned for a moment.

Zhong Yuanfu strode down the steps and came over.

Behind him, followed by a nanny, but did not dare to stop him. She just said, "Hey, this sir..." Turning around to see Zhou Baoshan, she immediately found her backbone, "Sir, Xiao Hu stopped him from coming in, but he just beat him to the ground. ..."

Xiao Hu is Zhou Baoshan's bodyguard, and here is Zhou Baoshan's latest luxury villa, which he just moved into three months ago.

Hearing that Xiao Hu was beaten to the ground by his senior brother, Zhou Baoshan smiled instead, and then he waved his hand at the nanny and said, "It's okay, you call and ask someone to drive Xiao Hu to the hospital for a look! " Then pointing to the big fat Zhong Yuanfu, he said: "In the future, don't stop him from coming, this is my senior brother, and also my own brother!"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Zhong Yuanfu, smiled, and said, "Senior brother, you are finally willing to come and see me..." Before he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

Zhong Yuanfu stared at the swimming pool behind him.

Mask frost.

Zhou Baoshan turned his head and saw the two girls standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but frowned, but he still bit the bullet and tried to introduce him to Zhong Yuanfu, "Brother, they are my women, this one over here..."

Zhong Yuanfu waved his hand, "Let them go out first."

Zhou Baoshan was stunned for a moment, confused for a while, but he turned around and waved his hands at the two girls, "You go to the front first, and I will talk to my senior brother." He turned around, "By the way, senior brother Why don't we talk in the room? How do you think of it today..."

Fatty Zhong has already taken off one of his leather shoes.

This movement was so familiar, even though it had been many years since he had seen it, Zhou Baoshan subconsciously reacted like a conditioned reflex due to the pain of running around in the yard in the past.

He subconsciously ran back, "Brother, what are you doing!"

The two girls had just stood up and hadn't left yet. Seeing this posture, they were stunned for a moment.

Zhong Yuanfu waved the leather shoes in his hand and roared, "Let's go!"

The two girls were startled, and subconsciously walked out hand in hand.

Zhou Baoshan had already realized something, "Senior brother, please don't, if you have something to say, talk about it, what are you going to do!"

Zhong Yuanfu suddenly uttered a phrase from his hometown, "What are you doing? Kill you son of a bitch!"

The two girls ran to the door in a panic, but before they entered, they turned around when they heard the movement behind them, just in time to see a leather shoe flying towards Zhou Baoshan, and the two girls screamed out.

This is the backyard of the villa, of course no one else will see it, but the scene in front of me is really too strange——

The most famous martial arts superstar in contemporary China, Zhou Baoshan, who is said to be very good at martial arts, was chased all over the yard by a fat man with one bare foot.

"Brother, what are you doing, don't hit me, why did you hit me?"

"It was you who hit me! You son of a bitch! Stand up for me!"

"I won't stand! Why did you hit me!"

"You son of a bitch! I'm your senior brother, if I say hit you, I'll hit you!"

Zhou Baoshan was stunned for a moment, but he stopped slowly.

Zhong Yuanfu chased after him in two steps, and kicked him five or six meters away with one kick, then took off the leather shoe on the other foot, walked over quickly, and slapped him head and face.

Zhou Baoshan stopped running, just dodged with his arms to protect his head, and he felt aggrieved when he said, "You are senior brother, I admit that you hit me, but I have neither done anything bad nor disobedient, why do you Why hit me!"

Ordinarily, it is not uncommon to be beaten by a senior brother, especially when he entered the teacher's school when he was young, Zhong Yuanfu was a senior teacher, and he brought a few junior brothers, who were senior brothers who wanted to pass on the art, plus boys, when they were young, Dupi, when the elder brother usually says it hurts, it really hurts, but if he says he wants to hit him when he is angry, it is also true.

But even at that time, there were reasons to fight.

For example, if you were asked to stand for an hour, you stopped after standing for 59 minutes, and you were discovered by your brother, what should you do? beat! Hit it to death! You say you make up for that minute? You said you volunteered to stand another hour? If it doesn't exist, it will be fined after the fight is over! At least double the penalty!

Besides, the elder brother hits you, the master hits you, you are allowed to hide, you are not allowed to run, if you dare to leave this door, you are not allowed to go back in the future! So when I was a child learning art, it was common for my master and elder brother to beat me up and scream all over the yard.

But Zhong Yuanfu hadn't beaten Zhou Baoshan for at least ten years since the master was gone and the sect was broken up.

Moreover, it is no longer what it used to be.

So Zhong Yuanfu wanted to fight, Zhou Baoshan subconsciously still didn't dare to run away, but he was extremely wronged!

Zhong Yuanfu didn't explain, and just whipped his leather shoes hard, causing Zhou Baoshan to frown and dodge left and right.

Zhou Baoshan: "Brother, stop beating, it hurts!"

Zhong Yuanfu: "It hurts! It hurts!"

Then hit.

Zhou Baoshan: "Brother, what did I do wrong? Tell me and hit me again!"

Zhong Yuanfu: "Tell! Tell!"

Then hit.

Zhou Baoshan: "Brother, if you want to hit me again, you can fight back!"

Zhong Yuanfu: "Fight back! Fight back!"

Then hit.

Zhou Baoshan dodged while being beaten, trying not to let his senior brother miss the beating, and not let himself suffer too much pain.

But he still gradually became angry from embarrassment.

"I really fought back!"

"Fight back! Fight back!"

Zhong Yuanfu was known as a genius in the sky back then. Of course, his kung fu was excellent when he was young. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Baoshan's abilities, every move and style were taught and fed by him, but now, Zhong Yuanfu is Being fat like this not only affects the flexibility of the body, but in fact, most of his kung fu has been lost. If the two brothers really fought, they might use three moves and two moves, and Zhong Yuanfu would not be able to lose the wind, but after a few moves, it would not be a big problem for Zhou Baoshan to hit his senior brother.

Like now, Zhou Baoshan was chasing and daring to fight all the way, and Zhou Baoshan shouted "I'm going to fight back" angrily, but he could already hear his senior brother panting heavily.

In the flashing light passing by the soles of the shoes, he could see that his senior brother's face was already flushed red!

Suddenly he remembered the time when he took shelter by his senior brother and asked for a living with him. He remembered the scenes of those years, and then he remembered that when he was fighting outside and hurting someone, the senior brother went there to give I don't dare to let my master know about it, and I tried every means to borrow money to treat injuries, buy nutrition, and lose money, but after I got back, I chased myself all over the yard to beat him, and the barrels of the best wax guns were all discounted by three!

At that time, Zhong Yuanfu was 17 or 18 years old, and Zhou Baoshan was only in his early 10s with all his kung fu. When his elder brother beat his younger brother, it was definitely an adult beating a child. Zhou Baoshan was nimble like a monkey, and he had nowhere to hide. The sticks are really greeted to the body, break one and change it!

After that beating, Zhou Baoshan lay on the bed for half a month, his whole body hurt everywhere, throbbing, piercing, but since then, and now more than ten years old, he has never dared to fight anyone again shelf!

The master was shot to death back then, which is disgraceful, but even he taught his apprentices back then. He said that our boxing practitioners are strong, speak loudly, and can't stand it, so it is easy to provoke troubles in the world and fight frequently. When you get up, your hands are heavy, so they are often harmful, so the more powerful you are, the more you must remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be cautious when punching. If you are unreasonable, you must give in and admit your mistakes, and if you are justified, don't play prestige.

As a result, the old man himself died playing prestige.

The master's school has dispersed, and now the brothers and sisters are scattered around, and they have already dispersed into the world of mortals.

When I went home during the Chinese New Year, my seniors had a gathering. I heard that three seniors were eating in prison now, and two of them had already been killed. There are also a few who have gone out to work and have not returned during the Chinese New Year. There are a few who are doing well, that is, serving as bodyguards and driving for others.

There are two more, who bully men and women in the local area.

The brothers at the party were both contemptuous and envious.

Looking at them and thinking about myself, Zhou Baoshan felt a little sad when he was celebrating the New Year in his hometown.

And senior brother hasn't hit him for more than ten years.

…………

Suddenly, Zhou Baoshan stopped hiding.

He just squatted there, crossed his arms to protect his head and neck, and let the leather shoes in Zhong Yuanfu's hands fall down with a snap, making shoe marks all over his back.

Zhong Yuanfu was so tired that he was out of breath, and his movements gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, Zhou Baoshan said: "Senior brother? Are you tired? Can you take a break and call again?"

Zhong Yuanfu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he gritted his teeth, and the leather shoes came down even harder, making Zhou Baoshan gasp in hiss and hiss! Then, he suddenly yelled "Ouch", "Ouch", "It hurts me to death, senior brother, stop hitting me!", "Senior brother, I was wrong, stop hitting me!"

This shout is all too familiar.

Back then Zhou Baoshan had a tough temper and admitted death, but Zhong Yuanfu was tougher than him, as long as you refused to give in, you would beat him to death. But as soon as Zhou Baoshan started to cry out in pain, the senior brother would often stop.

This time too.

Hearing Zhou Baoshan's yelling, Zhong Yuanfu suddenly stopped, and said "Bah", "What are you shouting for!"

Then he took the leather shoes, pulled them out and said——

"Pain? You know it hurts!"

"Knowing that you are hurting, you stupid grandson, you are still doing nonsense!"

"I'm hitting you for Master!"

"Hide again! I'll kill you!"

Suddenly he stopped, threw the leather shoes on the ground, panted heavily, and then squatted down on the grass, "I'm exhausted!"

Zhou Baoshan stood up, ran over to pick up the flying shoe for him, and handed it over.

Zhong Yuanfu glanced at him and took the shoes.

Zhou Baoshan said: "Brother, are you tired, can we go indoors and drink some water?"

Zhong Yuanfu glared at him, "Tired ass, brother beat you for you to know?"

Zhou Baoshan said, "Yes, I know. Shall I help you up?"

Zhong Yuanfu stretched out his arm, and Zhou Baoshan pulled him up.

The two brothers turned their heads and saw the two girls standing at the bottom of the steps in a daze.

Zhou Baoshan felt very embarrassed.

He finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Shi, can you tell me now, why did you hit me?"

Zhong Yuanfu turned to look at him, still out of breath, but said seriously: "You want to stand on your own, I don't blame you, you want to accept movies that you think are right, I don't blame you, you want to drink, pick up girls, play with women, It's all normal, but you shouldn't abuse yourself!"

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head, and after a while, he tried to defend himself, "I didn't, I just..."

"No?" Zhong Yuanfu sternly said, "Look for seven or eight girls, and play with the door behind closed doors, and you have been drunk every day for the past half month, and it is rare for you to be sober for a few hours a day. Look... the wine on the table Bottle, can you see with your own dog eyes? I'm going to be late for a while, and I'm probably going to be drunk again, is that called?"

Zhou Baoshan lowered his head and stopped talking.

After a while, Zhong Yuanfu said loudly: "Speak!"

Zhou Baoshan bowed his head for a long time before he finally said: "But, I don't have any scenes to shoot, I'll shoot one after another, I don't drink and play with women, what should I do?"

With a slap across the face, Zhou Baoshan was sent flying.

Although Zhong Yuanfu was fat and had lost most of his kung fu, he was strong enough to make a sudden move.

Zhou Baoshan made him spin around on the spot, staggered a few times before standing still, blood was already on the corner of his mouth.

"No scenes to film? Fart! How could there be no scenes to film!"

After a pause, he said: "Even if there are no scenes to film, do you have to drink and mess around? How old are you and you don't want to lose your body? If there are no scenes to film, you can't practice Kung Fu? Can't you go to cram school? What about your English? Don’t study? If you leave it all, you have to drink too much every day until you get drunk?”

Zhou Baoshan suddenly showed a bitter smile, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Brother, do you know how much they will pay me for looking for me now?"

Before Zhong Yuanfu could answer, he continued to say: "Five million! Just give me five million!"

While speaking, he couldn't tell whether it was bitterness or self-deprecating, and said: "I made Du Weiyun's film, and Zhou Yanghua gave me 15 million bonus bonuses, but after that film was finished, I wanted to continue to take on the film. At that time, they only offered me five million yuan. Because one of my previous plays was not as good as the other, so I threw them all away!"

"You said? Five million? Can I pick it up? Isn't this a slap in the face?"

Zhong Yuanfu was stunned for a moment, then his voice suddenly softened, and he said: "Then you shouldn't be so self-deprecating! Besides, they are just worried that your salary is too high for the box office. When "Jin Yiwei" is released, the box office As long as it's not too bad, your salary should go up, probably around 8 million is no problem, you still have appeal after all."

Zhou Baoshan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Brother, you don't understand. You are used to being in Minghu, so you see things too simply. Lord Qian's filming, Minghu's filming, and other companies outside are completely different! Minghu will The remuneration of the actors is kept very low, especially for our own people, even lower. But after the movie is released, as long as the box office is good, they will give you a lot of red envelopes! You will get it back in no time!"

"And the key is that Minghu's dramas support people and make you more and more popular! But these companies outside, they make movies, they only hope to give you a salary, and you have to get back ten of the box office for me, otherwise, it's You are not good at appeal, not good at acting, not good at all aspects!"

"Like me, after a few plays in a row, everyone will step on me!"

"I can't go out to accept the movie now. Once I accept a five million movie, the next movie will be five million! Even then, they will only give me three million! If I want to continue filming, either A few more dramas will become popular, or else, we can only watch the salary drop all the way!"

"But...brother, you don't understand. You don't know who's reliable in these plays outside, and there's no way to guarantee that a play will definitely make money!"

Zhong Yuanfu suddenly said: "I heard that you want to poach Director Mu?"

Zhou Baoshan nodded, and smiled wryly, "Yes! Isn't your "Bragging Makes People Progress" popular? Zhou Yanghua and Zong Chengze said that in Minghu Culture these years, besides Li Qian and Han Shunzhang, Mu Xiaoshuai was originally The head of the screenwriting team is very important. He is in charge of writing scripts, and the scripts received by the agency department must be handed over to him for review. If he thinks it is appropriate, the agency department will help the actors negotiate contracts and remuneration with the producers. So, although I looked down on him before, after Zhou Yanghua said this, I felt that I needed such a person to help me choose films. Zhou Yanghua said that he hoped to recruit him, so I also helped to contact him."

"However, it failed. Mu Xiaoshuai is not willing to change jobs at all."

Zhong Yuanfu suddenly said: "Have you considered going back to Minghu Lake?"

Zhou Baoshan looked up at his senior brother in surprise, and laughed, "Senior brother, don't make fun of me, how can I go back! I betrayed Lord Qian!"

After a pause, his face was full of self-mockery, and he said: "I was the most popular actor among so many actors in Minghu Culture back then, and Lord Qian praised him so highly, so I turned around and ran away. Now I have only been outside for a year, and I am You fell so badly, do you still want to go back?"

Zhong Yuanfu looked solemn, and asked: "In your eyes, is Lord Qian holding grudges like that?"

Zhou Baoshan shook his head and did not speak.

Zhong Yuanfu said: "Do you still remember Feng Bicheng?"

Zhou Baoshan shook his head immediately, and before Zhong Yuanfu could say anything, he said, "It's different! Senior brother, it's different! Feng Bicheng just said a few words that looked down on Li Qian behind his back. However, the past enmity did not harm Minghu's interests, not to mention that he has a good father to help him bear it. What about me? How much did Minghu lose from my jump? It's different!"

Zhong Yuanfu shook his head and said, "You also have your senior brother!"

Zhou Baoshan turned to look at him in surprise.

Zhong Yuanfu continued: "Besides, Lord Qian doesn't hold grudges as much as you think. After so many years, I have basically figured out his temper. As long as you are willing to make a good movie and be obedient, I can guarantee that he welcomes you at any time go back."

Zhou Baoshan said: "How is it possible! No matter how generous he is..."

Zhong Yuanfu shook his head and interrupted him, "Even if he still holds grudges, but at our level, he is not qualified enough to hold grudges."

Zhou Baoshan froze for a moment.

Zhong Yuanfu may not have meant it when he said this, but in his heart, it felt like he was running like a thunderbolt.

Is he not qualified to be held hostage by Li Qian at all?

Think about it... too.

At this time, Zhong Yuanfu said again: "Think about it, why hasn't the second part of "The Matrix" been filmed for a long time? "Huang Feihong" has also been suspended. These two series are sure to make money. I'm even thinking about preparing it, but why didn't I shoot it? Do you think you can't have fun without it?"

"It's a joke! For so many years, Master Qian started from scratch. You and I were bullshit back then. He used you as he said, and dared to use you as the leading actor. Do you think he can't shoot "The Matrix" if he changes someone? Do you think you are young and handsome? Is it hard to find an actor who knows kung fu?"

He shook his head, "No, not at all. Lord Qian is waiting for you. He knows that you are young and energetic, and always want to go out on your own, but you will definitely regret it when you go outside, so he stopped two big series. Wait for your prodigal son to return! Think for yourself, is this the case!"

When Zhou Baoshan heard this, he couldn't help being completely stunned.

Is he...waiting for my prodigal son to come back?

But can I really turn my head back?

…………

A county in Chongqing Prefecture.

The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" settled in a large bamboo forest.

To be precise, it was the bamboo forest that Qin Wei chose when he filmed his "The Gate of Life and Death". It is about two or three miles away from the bamboo forest that Li Qian saw when he came to visit He Yingyu.

And at this moment, Qin Wei, as a guest, is also in this crew.

He, Hu Fei, accompanied by Qi Jie and Zou Wenhuai, rushed over to visit Li Qian's class.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not officially started filming yet.

Sun Yuting was busy with the later stage of "Transformers", so of course she couldn't spare to be the assistant director of Li Qian's film, but Jin Han's "Bourne Shadow" was already busy in the later stage, so Li Qian pulled him over To be the most important assistant director for myself, and to promote two newcomers, led by him and Jin Han.

The main reason was that he was going to play the leading role in this movie himself, and he was really worried that he didn't have a reliable assistant director to help with the shooting. And Jin Han's standard is of course the level of a master, not to mention that he has also filmed a martial arts film such as "Dragon Inn", and he is in charge of the camera part, which can make Li Qian feel more at ease.

The preliminary preparations for the crew have been completed.

Today is the day to start.

After chatting with Hu Fei and Qin Wei for a few words, an assistant director came over and said that the machine could be turned on at any time.

So Li Qian turned around and walked over to check it, and took the loudspeaker from the assistant director.

But at this moment, his assistant Fang Shengnan suddenly came over with a mobile phone and whispered, "There is a call."

Li Qian waved his hand, without looking at it, and said, "Hang up, I'll call back later."

Fang Shengnan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Zhou Baoshan."

Li Qian turned his head to look at her in surprise, thought for a while, and finally picked up the phone.

"Hey, Baoshan..."

"Master Qian, I...I just want to apologize to you, I..."

Throwing the loudspeaker in his hand to Fang Shengnan, he took the mobile phone and walked deep into the bamboo forest.

"Hey, there's no need. It's true that you're filming well outside."

"I, I think..."

"Well, don't think too much about it. Once you sign a contract with someone, you must fulfill it. Let's see the opportunity later, okay?"

Seven or eight minutes later, he came back, threw the mobile phone to Fang Shengnan, took the loudspeaker, looked at He Yingyu in the center of the venue, and Qi Jie, who was holding a slate in his hand and was about to play the slate, with a smile, Said: "Everyone is there, get ready. The first scene of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" begins!"

Snapped!

***

At the end of tomorrow, it will be the finale.
