The literary era since 1979

Chapter 114 Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi

This was the first time in Han Yuemin's life that he left Yanjing. Fortunately, Fangyan was in the same carriage to take care of him, and his inner uneasiness gradually dissipated.

Going all the way south, we arrived at Hangzhou in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Han Yuemin picked up his luggage, and in the dark, he followed the dialect and got on the bus, and saw a sign hanging on the wall:
"Those who are robbing cars with weapons can be shot dead on the spot, and there will be rewards for those who kill them."

Fangyan glanced at it and turned his gaze to the outside of the car window.

At that time in Hangzhou, the urban area was not that big and the traffic was not that congested. On hot summer days, boys gathered in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, while girls wore pigtails and jumped rubber ropes.

After a while, we passed the Red Sun Square, which is the predecessor of Wulin Square. The Red Sun Market is near the exhibition hall here.

"Shall we get off here?"

Han Yuemin turned his attention to dialects.

"Brother Han, don't worry. There's plenty of time to go shopping in the market. Let's put our luggage in the guesthouse first, settle down, and have fun for a few days."

Fangyan looked like he had everything planned out for him.

After getting off the bus, I walked to the guesthouse and showed the letter of introduction from my company. The receptionist was startled:
"You, no, you are Mr. Fangyan?!"

"it's me."

Fangyan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Can you please sign an autograph for me?"

The two waitresses at the front desk, both of whom were young literary people, had excitement on their faces. They quickly took out "October" from the drawer and specifically turned to the page of "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

Fangyan signed and asked for a standard double room.

The waiter said enthusiastically: "You are a professional writer, you can stay with the leader..."

"I live in a room with my friend."

Fangyan patted Han Yuemin on the shoulder.

The staff didn't think much about it and thought that anyone who could travel and live with Teacher Fang must not be an ordinary person, so they took the initiative to lead them.

A standard room has two beds on the left and right, a tin kettle, plastic slippers, an enamel washbasin, etc., all of which are standard.

Just as the two were packing their luggage, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

Fangyan originally thought it would be a waiter, but unexpectedly the person who pushed the door open was Liu Xiaoqing, with Zhu Shimao, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing next to him. Fortunately, he was handsome enough, so he didn't have to retreat.

Liu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Teacher Fang, when the waiter told us you were here, Shi Mao and I wanted to come visit right away."

"Teacher Fang!"

Zhu Shimao's face flushed and he excitedly held Fangyan's hand.

Han Yuemin was shocked when he saw with his own eyes how respectful they were in front of Fangyan.

Especially when Fangyan introduced himself to them, he could feel that they all looked up to him.

They greeted each other.

"Don't stand, sit down."

As soon as the four of them sat down, Liu Xiaoqing directly stated the purpose of their visit, which was to thank Fang Yan for recommending them to Xie Jin.

After all, one is an actress who has just become famous for "Little Flower", and the other is an unlucky actor whose debut film was stillborn.

As a result, the movie "The Shepherd" became a national hit, surpassing "Lush Mountain Love". The box office is now breaking the 2 million mark, and it is very likely to lock in this year's championship. It was also nominated for the Best Actor and Actress at the first Golden Rooster Awards.

Liu Xiaoqing thanked him repeatedly, full of gratitude.

Zhu Shimao was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He changed his fate by starring in "The Shepherd" and was transferred to the Bayi Film Studio.

Fang Yan smiled and said, "This is also thanks to Director Xie. Although I recommended you, he was the one who made the final decision."

Zhu Shimao smiled brilliantly: "You and Xie Jin are both my mentors. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Don't say that. I also want to thank you. Your Xu Lingjun acted well and played the role I imagined for him."

Fangyan crossed his legs, looking like a great man.

The selection of Zhu Shimao and Liu Xiaoqing at that time was motivated by both public and private interests.

Thanks to this relationship, in the future, whether it is celebrity endorsements or Spring Festival Gala advertisements, I will be able to get the upper hand.

At this time, CCTV did not allow advertising.

However, it is possible to insert advertisements. For example, the clothes that Zhu Shimao and Liu Xiaoqing wore during the Spring Festival Gala can be seen everywhere on Taobao, JD.com and other online stores, featuring the same outfits worn by celebrities. However, the plan has changed. I have already promised Shen Yanbing that I will focus on literature.

Business matters were mainly left to my brother-in-law and sister. All these arrangements at the beginning were to prepare for Han Yuemin and Fang Hong.

Han Yuemin could vaguely feel that, with the help of the dialect, he was slowly becoming familiar with Liu Xiaoqing and Zhu Shimao.

"Director Xie and the others haven't arrived yet?"

Fangyan reached into his bag.

"Not yet, but it will probably be here soon."

Liu Xiaoqing noticed that he took out his Seagull camera and immediately suggested taking a photo with Teacher Fang while taking this rare opportunity.

“The space here is small and the lighting is not good.”

Fangyan took the camera and asked them to go downstairs.

A group of people came to the open space in front of the guesthouse. Han Yuemin, taking advantage of his dialect, took photos with Liu Xiaoqing, then with Zhu Shimao, and finally, took a group photo of four of them.

Someone needed to lend a hand. Liu Xiaoqing accidentally saw an acquaintance passing by, waving his hands and shouting loudly:

"Pei Si! Chen Pei Si!"

Oh, isn’t this Chen Xiaoer?

Fangyan looked in the direction of the voice and Chen Peisi's face immediately came into view. He was truly a good image that only appears once in thousands of years!

There's no need to act out the hooligans, illegal vendors, petty thieves, just poke them there.

I'm afraid only Captain Jia in "Underground Traffic Station" can compete with him.

The most surprising thing is that he is not bald!
There is hair! And it is thick and black, duang～

As he was looking at Chen Peisi, Chen Peisi was also looking at him. At Liu Xiaoqing's introduction, his eyebrows were about to take off:
"Hey, hello, Mr. Fang."

"I seem to have seen you somewhere."

Fangyan pretended to remember something and asked, "Did you act in the movie Look at This Family?"

"Yes, yes, that's right! I didn't expect you to have seen the movie I acted in!" Chen Peisi's eyebrows were dancing and he was grinning.

"He played 'Jia Qi' and I played 'Zhang Lan'. We knew each other from this movie."

Liu Xiaoqing revealed that he was participating in the Golden Rooster Awards as a supporting actor in "Inside and Outside the Court".

"This is also my first time playing a supporting role, and a negative one at that."

Chen Peisi smiled.

"Actually, he can be considered the protagonist, the protagonist among the villains!"

Fangyan said half-jokingly.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fang's words are insightful!"

Chen Peisi clapped his hands and said, "Sometimes, when you play a supporting role, you may end up playing the leading role."

Zhu Shimao exclaimed, "Wouldn't that be stealing the show?"

"How can it be a show-stealer?"

Chen Peisi gave the example of "Look at This Family", in which he was clearly the protagonist, but because of his own grandfather, he almost became a supporting role.

Han Yuemin was puzzled: "Who is his grandfather?"

"Chen Qi, who played Huang Shiren in The White-Haired Girl, acted so well that the soldiers almost mistook him for the real person and shot him dead."

Seeing that they were about to turn into a real-life version of "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor", they introduced themselves in a low voice in dialect.

Han Yuemin was surprised, "He's an old artist, no wonder."

"Take a photo with him, too. The more the better."

Fangyan looked at Chen Peisi on the left and Zhu Shimao on the right. They were a fake brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Looking at himself and Han Yuemin again, they are a real brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Fate, wonderful!

After discussing for a while, we met the crew members of "Outside the Court" and reminded them to have dinner at the Zhonghua Hotel in the evening.

　Cong Shan is not the one acting here because she was not yet a student at the Central Academy of Drama when The Shepherd was being filmed.
