Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 229 The candidate for "Bruce Lee"

"This guy Zhang Daqian published a painting in the newspaper and said it was a tribute to me?"

In the study, Bao Guowei couldn't help but said in surprise after receiving the newspaper handed over by Cao Yanhai.

"Isn't this guy here to get some heat?"

Bao Guowei blurted out because Zhang Daqian was not a very well-known figure at this time.

Moreover, apart from Zhang Daqian's artistic attainments, he also has some problems with his character.

Just like Hawking proposed the black hole radiation theory and made a great contribution to the popularization of science, this does not prevent him from exploring human black holes at all.

Therefore, Bao Guowei has no good impression of these so-called "masters".

Not to mention his extreme irresponsibility for his love life. He abandoned his wife and went around looking for flowers, and fell in love with the fifteen-year-old Peninsula girl Chi Chunhong. The young and beautiful Huang Ningsu was also fifteen when she met him.

When Huang Ningsu lost her beauty in old age, Zhang Daqian found the equally beautiful Yang Wanjun.

"Love is shit!"

As for learning some knowledge and the like?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized.

"Master, don't be biased. We may think this Zhang Daqian is lustful after seeing it, but this is different for artists. They get inspiration through these talents. It can only be called romantic, in my opinion."

The latter covered his head in grievance and said with some confusion: "What does it mean to rub heat?"

Cao Yanhai has a relatively straightforward temperament, which is a common problem among martial arts students, and he is too lazy to think about the twists and turns.

He immediately threatened: "Don't mention this in front of me in the future."

Bao Guowei spat.

"I have heard that Mr. Zhang Daqian rented a small courtyard in the suburbs of Shanghai, and hid a young wife from the peninsula in it. It is so enviable. It is regarded as a legend in the art world, saying that they are a talented man and a beautiful woman. For the sake of love, there is no turning back.”

Not to mention that he once destroyed the Dunhuang murals, fled the scene without any responsibility, and warned others to protect the murals.

It's just that there was a sentence left unsaid just now.

"what!"

Sure enough, the chaos in the "art world" has already begun in this era.

Unexpectedly, I didn't want to rub off on his influence, but Zhang Daqian wanted to rub off on his own popularity?
Think about it, for "artists", artistic attainments are secondary, fame is the most important.

Cao Yanhai had a pure smile on his face. He really felt that he had gained a lot from Bao Guowei these days.

Bao Guowei shook his head and said.

"alright, alright!"

Bao Guowei slapped Cao Yanhai on the head angrily.

The two got married four years later.

"Any other news recently? Is there any special letter?"

Hearing what Bao Guowei said, Cao Yanhai immediately patted his head and said as if he remembered something.

"Indiscretion?" Cao Yanhai looked a little strange, then suddenly realized what he said. "This is what you're talking about!"

"Zhang Daqian can be considered a romantic figure. He seems to be very close to you, Master! Should we reply or something?"

Waiting for his bad record, this was the reason why Bao Guowei had no intention of getting to know the future master of traditional Chinese painting that day.

When he was 44 years old, he fell in love with his daughter's classmate Xu Wenbo. Xu Wenbo was only fourteen years old at the time.

Cao Yanhai was obviously a little short-sighted and didn't notice the disgust in Bao Guowei's tone at all, but he thought it was a happy event.

Learning does not exist, Cao Yanhai just wants to read novels.

I, Bao Guowei, have not even touched my fiancée Zhang Nianyue, who is about to turn eighteen!
You, an old and ignorant person, are attacking young girls. You are really too much of a beast.

But he still asked questions.

"Master has been very popular recently, and countless celebrities have sent me letters, either inviting me to visit him or visiting him. It seems that the book "The Godfather" is completely popular."

This is related to how much profit your work can bring.

"Oh."

Bao Guowei waved his hands repeatedly, as if he couldn't listen anymore.

"But you still respond to most celebrities. This Mr. Zhang Daqian did the painting for you."

Faced with a mountain of letters, Bao Guowei didn't have so much energy to read them, so he asked Cao Yanhai to read them for him.

"This guy has a bad personal life, and I don't want to be associated with him."

Master, you are also an artist. There is nothing wrong with being romantic.

"Just reply, ignore him, just to get some heat."

From the perspective of Bao Guowei's values ​​from modern people, this old boy is a complete beast.

For example, you can see the original manuscript of the novel first-hand, which is not a disadvantage.

However, he continued to learn some fighting skills from Bao Guowei, which he had never seen before. Cao Yanhai felt that they were extremely exquisite and his skills greatly improved.

"There is quite important news."

He immediately took out a letter from the drawer, turned his head and read out the mailing address.

"Lianhua Film Company, Mr. Liming Wei greets you."

Cao Yanhai handed the letter to Bao Guowei and said.

"The letter mentioned that I want to make changes to Master's "The Godfather" and hope to put this novel on the screen in the form of a movie."

"Pfft~" Bao Guowei was drinking tea, and a mouthful of tea almost sprayed into Cao Yanhai's face.

"filming?"

Cao Yanhai wiped the water stains on his face and nodded with certainty.

"That's right. I checked this Lianhua Film Company. It should be a famous film company in Shanghai, especially this Liming Wei."

Cao Yanhai obviously put a lot of effort into introducing Bao Guowei carefully, which was part of his long-term work.

Rather than saying that he is now Bao Guowei's bodyguard and apprentice, it is better to say that he is the steward and apprentice.

But unexpectedly, he saw Bao Guowei waving his hand.

"There is no need to introduce him in detail. I know this Mr. Liming Wei. We had some interactions with him when he first came to Shanghai."

"You actually know him?" Cao Yanhai was a little surprised, and then thought that Bao Guowei did seem to have had an experience.

Following Zhang Taiyan, he came to Shanghai to recruit donations for the Hangzhou plague. During that time, Bao Guowei met many celebrities in Shanghai.

In particular, the conversation with several big shots in the film industry has become a legend among the people.

The recent rapid development of the film industry cannot be separated from the theoretical guidance of Bao Guowei at that time.

"Go get me pen and paper."

Sitting in front of the desk, Bao Guowei wondered whether he should accept Liming Wei's invitation?

In the letter, he mentioned that it was not just him who wanted to make this movie, but what he wanted even more was to be able to work with Bao Guowei on "The Godfather".

Not only do we want to open up the film market domestically, we also want to open up the market internationally!

Bao Guowei was surprised that he originally had this idea, but this time Liming Wei brought it up first.

There is no doubt that movies are a more direct form of expression than words and can allow more people to feel the ideas that this work wants to express.

Especially for ordinary people, in this era without mobile phones and computers, movies are the best communication medium!

Thinking of this, Bao Guowei looked at Cao Yanhai who had prepared paper and pen, and said with a smile. "Xiao Cao, I think we should go directly to Lianhua Film Company and have a face-to-face talk with this Liming Wei before we can understand more clearly."

Cao Yanhai was stunned for a moment, then naturally agreed, nodded and said.

"Then I'll prepare the car."

"I'll go with you."

Bao Guowei felt that he had seen a new target and seemed extremely excited.

The filming of the movie will undoubtedly take his ideological battle plan a step further.

He put his arm around Cao Yanhai's shoulders and said as he walked.

"Xiao Cao, don't think that you can't buy your talent here as your teacher. Your teacher has better arrangements. Listen to me in detail."

As a martial arts fanatic, Cao Yanhai's original job was to teach apprentices in the martial arts gym. If he had not followed Bao Guowei, he might have truly become a legend in the martial arts world of the Republic of China.

But now with Bao Guowei, he works as a security guard, housekeeper, driver and the like all day long.

Afraid that the younger brother might have some resistance, Bao Guowei, the eldest brother, had to enlighten him from time to time.

For example, draw a cake for my little brother or something.

Cao Yanhai was a little surprised, he shook his head repeatedly.

"Master, don't say that. I, Cao Yanhai, became your disciple willingly. These things are what I should do as a disciple to learn a craft. In the past, when people learned a craft, they had to work in the master's house for several years."

He scratched his head and continued to giggle.

"You are also giving me pocket money. A few hundred dollars a month is much more than the gentlemen outside. Why should I be dissatisfied?"

Cao Yanhai had a "honest" smile on his face, lowered his voice and continued.

"The main reason is that after arriving at your place, I, Old Cao, don't have any shortage of money when visiting the brothels."

Hearing this, Bao Guowei's face immediately twitched, and he punched the boy with hatred.

"In your mind, you only have a visit to the brothel. Can you think of anything else, something high-end?"

As Cao Yanhai walked away, he covered the back of his head in grievance. He knew Bao Guowei's strength level. If he could compete with what he had, this boy would obviously hold back.

However, the master still had to give him face. He pretended to be in pain, but he still said unconvinced.

"Master, don't look down on people. I've been going to Paramount frequently recently, and the boss there respects me now."

"Snapped!"

Bao Guowei's slap was on his forehead, but what could he say? It's a man's nature to be astringent.

After all, Cao Yanhai doesn't deceive women like Zhang Daqian. He actually spends money, and sometimes he even gives a little more because he feels pity for others.

It's much better than those men who persuade others to behave after sleeping.

Bao Guowei shook his head helplessly and continued.

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I want you to play the role of Bruce Lee in The Godfather."

"What?" Cao Yanhai almost stared out of his eyes, grabbed Bao Guowei's shoulders and said with some trembling in his words.

"What did you just say?"

Bao Guowei said with a smile on his face: "I said, if this movie "The Godfather" is to be made, I think you can play the role of Bruce Lee in it. After all, you are very skilled, and Bruce Lee There are still some similarities.”

For the role of Bruce Lee, we must find a young martial arts idiot with a certain level of martial arts so that we can better present him.

Bao Guowei couldn't think of any such figures in the Republic of China during this time period, so he simply focused on Cao Yanhai.

Thinking about it, it seems quite appropriate, right?

He patted the confused Cao Yanhai.

"Don't you always want to be a hero like Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Now the opportunity has come. A great hero serves the country and the people. You play the role of Bruce Lee and bring out the majesty of our Chinese people." Isn’t it another kind of chivalry?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud popping sound.

Cao Yanhai actually knelt firmly in front of Bao Guowei, his eyes were already wet, and he said with trembling lips.

"Master!"

He originally thought that Bao Guowei was busy with everything and had already forgotten his ambition, but he didn't expect that Bao Guowei would still remember it.

And achieved it for myself in a special form.

Like in martial arts novels, becoming a brave and chivalrous hero who serves the country and the people and draws his sword to help when there is injustice?
This is naturally Cao Yanhai's dream.

But in this era of firearms, even if Cao Yanhai is very skilled, he cannot withstand fire suppression, so he has only recently begun to focus on learning marksmanship.

But facing the tide of the times, Cao Yanhai still felt powerless.

Following Bao Guowei and reading more and more books, I realized that a person's power is limited. Even a person as powerful as Bao Guowei can only do so much.

In fact, he even had the idea in his heart that people like Wei Junming and Xu Kun would go to the southwest to serve, which was the true right direction in Bao Guowei's words.

But just now, Bao Guowei gave him another place where he could also realize his ambition.

filming!
In the movie, he can also become a hero of the previous generation, and he can also enlighten the people's wisdom through movies and achieve the purpose of saving the country and the people.

"Xiao Cao! Master will not treat you badly. Prepare well for filming, but don't embarrass me."

Bao Guowei was actually many years younger than Cao Yanhai, but he still pretended to be mature and patted the other person on the head.

The latter was even more grateful and said with tears and runny noses.

"Master, if you have any orders from now on, just tell me. If I, Cao Yanhai, say no, then I am no longer a human being."

"Okay, okay, let's go out quickly to find that boss Liming Wei!"

Bao Guowei helped the other party up and walked outside.

Cao Yanhai still had many questions on the way.

"Master, what if Liming Wei doesn't agree? After all, I'm not a well-known actor."

"Didn't you say that? Liming Wei and I have a good relationship. He will not refuse to agree to this request. Besides, you are indeed very suitable."

"I'm still worried. I can only practice martial arts. If I don't perform well, will I be scolded by the audience? I'm not like you, who can bear to fight back later. If someone scolds me, I will destroy his mother's house. "

"Don't worry, just act as you are. This Bruce Lee still has similarities with you. I will tell you about his philosophy of life later, and you should be able to understand it."

After finally answering Cao Yanhai's 100,000 whys, the two finally arrived in the backyard.

Cao Yanhai had a smile on his face, his eyes almost narrowed, he turned around and said.

"Master, I'll go drive, you wait here."

Then with a quick step, he got in.

But there was a cry of surprise.

"Master Wife, are you here too?"

Bao Guowei's heart skipped a beat when he walked in and saw Zhang Nianyue.

I wanted to ask her what was wrong, so she spoke first.

Zhang Nianyue put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Bao Guowei, you haven't forgotten, have you? You just promised me last night that you will go to the girls' school today and give a lecture to everyone in the mutual aid association."

Bao Guowei's face froze for a moment, then he laughed and said.

"How could it be! Nianyue, do I look like the kind of person who would forget such things!"
