Chapter 559 Goodbye Li Qingshan
Seeing this face, Chen Ling was rarely surprised.
"Li Qingshan??"
Face-changing has always been Chen Ling's forte. He has seen countless people shocked by this silky-smooth "face-breaking transformation". He didn't expect to be the one who was shocked today. Similar skills, the same technique, Chen Ling suddenly felt like he was looking in the mirror.
"Brother Lin, you are really not gentle..." Li Qingshan felt the pressure brought by the dark muzzle and spoke helplessly.
"Why are you here? No...how did you recognize me?"
Chen Ling suddenly remembered that when he met Li Qingshan before, he used the face of "Chen Ling", but now it has been replaced by "Chen Yan". Logically speaking, even Li Qingshan would not be able to recognize him here, and his heart suddenly Somewhat wary.
"I didn't recognize it at first, but when I was in Liu Town, I noticed a small blue flower on the corner of your opera robe." Li Qingshan said truthfully, "I basically make all my opera robes myself. , it was repaired in this way when it was broken before, so I remember these details very clearly... Although your face does not match the previous one, the opera robe is definitely yours, so I thought that you would probably change it too. A face...
However, before I could confirm with you, you put the gun to my head. "
Li Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and seemed to be frightened by Chen Ling.
"Brother Lin, your counter-reconnaissance ability is really a bit abnormal."
Chen Ling was stunned for a while before she accepted the fact that the person in front of her was really Li Qingshan.
"It's really you?" Chen Ling put down the gun in his hand and asked in surprise, "But...but why are you here?"
"It's a long story." Li Qingshan leaned against the wall, with memories in his eyes.
"The last time we met, it was probably in Liuzhen? Yes. At that time, I remember getting an invitation from the actor Wuming, and then went to listen to the song "Pick the Pulley", but as I listened, I seemed to feel a vermillion The stars were calling me, and then I remembered everything...
After I woke up, the stage was gone and the chairs were gone, so I sat on the stone pier for what seemed like a long time... Later, I wanted to look for you, but I searched all over Liu Town but couldn't find you, so I thought you must have left. . "
At this moment, Chen Ling also recalled the scene when the senior brothers took advantage of Li Qingshan's unconsciousness to clear the stage and left him alone in the wilderness, and his expression suddenly felt awkward.
"So in the end, you successfully embarked on the path of drama?"
"Well... I saw a divine path extending from the vermilion stars to my feet, so I stepped on it, and then I learned something." Li Qingshan pointed to his face and smiled slightly,
"Brother Lin, now I can do the same thing as you."
Chen Ling raised her eyebrows, "...That's not necessarily the case."
"Anyway, I have been looking for you since then, and then the Huadu Consortium contacted me to sign a contract and wanted to send me to the main city for development."
Chen Ling remembered that Li Qingshan told him about this at the time. After he had a falling out with the Huadu Consortium's first "audition", Zongwen specially sent a special selection team from the main city to go there. Li Qingshan and Liu Both Qingyan passed in the end, but when he entered the Huadu Consortium as the special envoy of the Golden Society, he only saw Liu Qingyan and no trace of Li Qingshan.
"Then what?"
"Then I signed... You know, I have always wanted to go to the main city to study opera and sing, otherwise I would not have participated in the selections for so many years." Li Qingshan's expression gradually became complicated, "I have always heard about the main city before. Hundreds of flowers bloomed here, and several famous actors and actresses were here. But after arriving, I found that things were not what I thought...
Most of those seniors no longer accept apprentices, and even if I wanted to learn, the Huadu Consortium's contract has always restricted me and scheduled me countless performances every day. At that time, I had to sing for seven or eight hours a day, from morning to night. Late in the evening, my singing voice became hoarse, and I felt like I had completely become a tool for them to make money.
Moreover, there are fewer and fewer people in the main city who like to listen to operas. No matter how much I sing, I can't make much money. What's more, all the money ends up going into the pockets of the Huadu Consortium. In the end, I can't even eat. rise. "
Chen Ling had seen the exploitation methods of the Huadu Consortium, and could imagine how miserable Li Qingshan was at that time...
Although Liu Qingyan also carries a contract, her appearance and dance can be accepted by the public in the main city of Hongchen and become a trend, but Li Qingshan does not have this advantage. If Liu Qingyan represented the top of Hongchen Entertainment at that time, Li Qingshan was undoubtedly at the bottom, with no name or wealth, and could only become a performance tool ruthlessly squeezed by capital.
"I'm not the only one who is being squeezed. Seventy-eight percent of the artists under the Huadu Consortium are in the same situation as me... I also have a few friends there, and most of them helped us through that difficult time together.
Later, the Huadu Consortium collapsed. I was lucky enough to be spotted by the Huang Consortium and signed a new contract with them. My life was finally better.
But most of my friends were deceived into signing away by the Beidou Consortium. This Beidou Consortium is even more outrageous. Before signing, they talked very nicely, such as high dividends, but after the signing, the share ratio was indeed high, but They also set targets. Only when they earn a certain amount can they be divided. If they fail to earn enough money, they will still owe the consortium money according to the contract...
In the past six months, not only did they not make any money, but their debts were increasing. They were even forced to sell their ancestral homes in their hometowns. Some of them also complained to the relevant departments, but the people in these departments had already He was colluding with Mu Chunsheng and didn't care about their life or death. "
There was a rare hint of anger in Li Qingshan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice,
"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, I really can't bear to see them suffer like this... They are just like me, they just like opera or performance. They come here to realize their dreams and should not be treated like this...
So, I want to do something for them. "
After hearing this, Chen Ling finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Li Qingshan is warm-hearted and has his own set of principles for doing things. At that time, Chen Ling lost all his skills and fainted in the forest. Li Qingshan, who had never met him before, rescued him without hesitation, took him home, cooked for him, and made room for him to stay... like this If a person were placed in ancient times, he would definitely be able to bear the word "gentleman".
With his friends in dire straits, Li Qingshan finally chose to take risks on his own, looking for a way to help them get out of trouble.
"Then you sneak into the Beidou Consortium..."
Li Qingshan opened his mouth and lowered his tone unconsciously, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"I...I know it's not a good idea to do this, but I want to find those contracts of the Beidou Consortium and burn them."
