The strongest brain in entertainment

Chapter 280 Cheongsam
Shanghai, an international metropolis, is a prosperous resort full of vicissitudes and sensuality in the modern history of Huaguo.

Li Fan has always felt that the old Shanghai without wars and schemes must be a very ideal living time and space, with cheongsams, rickshaws, and alleys, singing and singing, singing and dancing everywhere, full of luxury and wealth, and a prosperous scene.

He was wandering quietly in the humid night under the plane tree. He was wearing a well-dressed white suit and a shiny hairstyle. He was blowing smoke rings and looking at the people walking towards him quickly. The eldest lady of the Gu family arrived. She held an oil-paper umbrella and combed her shoulder-length hair. Then she smiled and said in a gentle and sweet voice:
"Hey mom, are you asleep?"

Li Fan rubbed his eyes, "Huh? So fast?"

"I've arrived at the hotel, what dream did you have?"

“Dream back to Shang Beach!”

The two of them took their luggage and came to the hotel that the program team had already booked in advance, but this time they had booked two rooms. Since the rat incident, Gu Yating has been fully prepared to prevent wolves from attacking wolves.

The staff of the program group had already arrived, but they had already fallen asleep. It was just after 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and Li Fan didn't bother them, so he and Gu Yating went back to their rooms to sleep.

This hotel is a special hotel. The rooms are very old-fashioned and beach-style. The decorations, landlines, and bathrooms are all the same. There are many books on the bookshelves, and Li Fan has no energy to read them.

He was so exhausted that he turned around and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, around 6 o'clock, there was a loud knock on his door.

Li Fan only opened one-third of his eyes that could kill someone with electric shock. He put on his clothes and walked to the door of the room with his feet.Opening the door, it turned out to be Gu Yating.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang! Shangtan's special steamed buns, do you want to eat?"

Li Fan sniffed and sniffed. His nose was not very sensitive since he got up early, so he sniffed again.

"Are you a dog? Go brush your teeth and wash your face!" Gu Yating put the steamed buns on the coffee table and went to the window to open the curtains.

A handful of cold water was splashed on his cheeks, and Li Fan suddenly became more energetic. He brushed his teeth, rinsed his mouth, and cleaned his intestines. Li Fan felt refreshed. After walking to the living room, he crossed his legs and grabbed the steamed dumplings and threw them into his mouth. , one, two, three...wipe them out quickly!
Gu Yating casually flipped through the books on the bookshelf, she said: "This hotel is really thoughtful, and the selection of books is good, many of them are works related to Shang Hai, like Zhang Ailing's works, and there are some Shang Hai's works. Hailao's photo!"

Li Fan swallowed the xiaolongbao and said vaguely: "Do you know Zhang Ailing's first husband?"

"Hu Lancheng, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Wang puppet regime, who once wrote for Wang Jingwei, is a well-known traitor."

"Well, Zhang Ailing, which work do you like best?"

"The Story of the Golden Lock, how about you?"

"Lust Caution!"

"Why? This book is not my thing."

Li Fan smiled ambiguously: "If someone makes it into a movie, adding more plots and various melee scenes, it will look good. I've been waiting for someone from Huaguo to make it."

"Maybe, Li Fan, come over and take a look at this old photo album, it's so interesting!"

Li Fan walked over with the bun in his mouth. He looked down and saw that in the old photo album, a black and white photo recorded a scene of a poor family eating lunch. The time was 1945. They used to make ends meet. The food is: Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs!
The album turned another page, and on this page were four portraits of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China: Wang Jingwei, Premier Zhou, Mei Lanfang, and Zhang Xueliang.

The Four Great Beauties of the Republic of China were commented by later generations based on modern aesthetics. There are different versions, but in each version, Wang Jingwei and Premier Zhou are among them.

"Who is more handsome, in your women's eyes." Li Fan pouted, and went back to get the buns.

"Wang Jingwei!"

"Well, just looking at appearance, I also think Wang Jingwei is extremely beautiful. Looking at all the historical photos of him when he was young, basically every one of them is handsome and scumbag. He is undoubtedly the most handsome guy in the Republic of China. His appearance It deserves not only high praise from people today, but also people in the Republic of China who are sincerely convinced."

"Oh?"

Li Fandao: "First of all, in the early years of the Republic of China, there were three beautiful men, namely Wang Jingwei, Mei Lanfang and Gu Weijun. Zhang Bojun, Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi, Li Zongren and many other celebrities expressed their praise for Wang Jingwei's appearance. Undoubtedly recognized as handsome, from the Republic of China to the present, suitable for the aesthetics of all periods.

In the early days, Wang Jingwei was insane. His assassination of Nie Zheng and Wang Zaifeng failed and he was arrested. Negative boy's head', how heroic!The poem is magnificent, the article is also beautiful, and I have also written "New Review of A Dream of Red Mansions", and so on.

Moreover, this person is extremely self-disciplined, neither whoring nor gambling, nor taking concubines nor smoking opium.

Chinese people's understanding of Wang Jingwei is too one-sided. Many people only know that he is a traitor and has a Wang puppet regime.Other than that I don't understand.

But why did he defect later?A big question in history.

There are also all kinds of analysis, what is the weakness of character, what is the cherishing of life after a narrow escape, what is the ugly wife making trouble, all kinds of analysis in a mess. "

Gu Yating said: "There is no one to guess, only the person involved knows it in his own heart. Let's look at the respectable and lovely Prime Minister, who is masculine, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of vigor, and is always handsome to the end, even in old age. Impressive appearance!"

Li Fan nodded, "Premier Zhou is the backbone of our country."

"Li Fan!"

"Ok?"

"Actually, I think you look a little like Wang Jingwei!"

"Impossible, what are you kidding?"

"real."

While talking, the door was knocked again, and Director Song and other staff entered the room.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Director Song and the others left in a hurry because they wanted to shoot other guests today.

After the two of them finished flipping through the entire photo album, they packed up and went shopping.

After visiting the Bund, they boarded the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the two of them sweated profusely and strolled around Yu Garden.

Li Fan suddenly asked: "Tomorrow is the last recording session, what wish do you have, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

"no!"

"That's great!"

"what?"

"Recording tomorrow night, I invite you to sing, and practice your best songs tonight!"

Gu Yating was startled, "Really? Why is it a spoiler?"

"Tsk tsk, isn't this afraid that you will throw people on the TV? I don't want to be ashamed with you."

"cut!"

"Let's go, I'm free today. I'll take you to a tailor shop. If you like cheongsams, I'll order two sets for you."

"I like it, but what's the age, what's the use of ordering a cheongsam? Wearing a cheongsam on the street, won't others kill me?"

"No matter what you wear, others will kill you!"

Gu Yating nodded: "You are right!"

"Hey, why are you getting thicker and thicker?"

"According to what you learned, those who get close to the 'pig' will be red, hehehe!"

Li Fan had long heard that Shanghai had the most famous tailor, Master Zhang.His tailor shop has lasted from the Republic of China to today. Although the address has been changed three times, this superb craftsmanship has been preserved intact. He can be said to be the best master in making cheongsam in China, and is known as "King of Handmade Cheongsam".Now that he is 80 years old, the old man's body can no longer hold on, and he has to "seal the needles."

The two took a taxi to this small tailor shop hidden in the bustling city, and they were surprised when they first saw it.

This tailor shop is the basement of an old-fashioned six-story building. The small shop is very ordinary. No one would have thought that there is a famous craftsman here.

"Do you have an appointment?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl asked with a smile.

Li Fan shook his head.

"I'm sorry, because of my grandfather's health, we won't accept new orders."

Li Fan felt very regretful, and said again: "Please also ask Master Zhang to take care of your health, then we will not make it difficult for the old man."

"Thank you for understanding. Your voice sounds familiar!"

The two left the tailor shop, Li Fan said: "You are not lucky, this old man's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world."

Gu Yating smiled faintly: "Let it go!"

After wandering around the major attractions in Shanghai City, the two returned to the hotel at around 7 p.m. Li Fan left the hotel on the grounds that he was going to meet a leader of Shanghai Satellite TV.

……

Shanghai Gymnasium.

At this time, rehearsals were going on intensely on the stage. Feifei Sun was wearing a sexy suit with narrow waist and thin legs, and was having the last round of rehearsal with her dance partners.

Shanghai Gymnasium is the first stop of her world tour, which cannot be missed. The sound, lighting, choreography, costumes, etc. are almost perfect and can be called luxurious.

Under the guidance of his assistant, Li Fan walked to the side of the stage, put his hands in his pockets, and quietly watched the sexy and hot dance on the stage.

"Li Fan, can you sign your name for me?"

Li Fan smiled, took the notebook from the assistant's hand, took a pen and signed it, and then asked, "When will Miss Feifei rehearse?"

"It's almost time for a cigarette!"

Those who describe time in this way are usually smokers, so Li Fan continued to stand aside and admire quietly. It turned out that this was not a cigarette, but a pack of cigarettes!

Repeatedly rehearsing on the stage, repeatedly correcting each movement, Feifei Sun is very serious about her requirements.

Sure enough, the top figures in all walks of life are either geniuses, hard-working, or crazy.

After "a pack of cigarettes", the rehearsal was finally over. Only then did Sun Feifei notice Li Fan off the stage. She walked a few steps quickly and came off the stage and said, "Hey, Li Fan, he's even more handsome."

Li Fan raised his eyebrows, "Sister Feifei is even sexier."

Sun Feifei smiled lightly, "Didn't we make an appointment to meet in the afternoon? Why did you change the time?"

"Hey, don't mention it. I wanted to go to a tailor with Gu Yating to order a set of cheongsams on a whim, but I never thought that the master is going to retire, and I won't do it without an appointment."

"Master Zhang Chong?"

"Well, that's the old man."

Feifei Sun said again: "I'm also in the queue. I'll talk to the old man later and transfer my order to you."

Li Fan shook his head again and again, "This is impossible, gentlemen don't take away people's love!"

"The woman wants the beauty of an adult? Wait a minute!"

After Feifei Fei finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and hung up the call. It is estimated that the other end of the phone was not very willing at first, but Feifei Sun just talked and flattered her again, and that was it.

After Sun Feifei put down the phone, she smiled and said: "This old man is too stubborn. By the way, Li Fan, can Gu Yating keep it a secret?"

Li Fan wanted to say yes, but when he thought of the scene where the case was solved a while ago, he was at a loss again, "I'll find a way to perform the whole trick, there should be no problem. Hidden."

The two came to the backstage and studied the specific plan.

Feifei Sun cocked her feet and listened to Li Fan's various plans, she couldn't help laughing, this young man has so many tricks.

……

The next morning.

After Gu Yating got up, she stretched beautifully, and suddenly thought of Li Fan, who didn't return to the hotel until she went to bed last night, why did she go?

Wash and dress.

Gu Yating walked out of the room and knocked on the door of Li Fan's room, but there was no response. She knocked again, but still no response.

Did not return overnight?
"Gu Yating, let's go downstairs."

When Gu Yating turned her head, she saw Li Fan standing by the elevator and yawning.

"You didn't come back all night?"

"Well, it was too late to chat with the director, so I stayed at the director's house."

"Oh, what are we going to do?"

Li Fan was stunned: "Why don't you ask if the director is a man or a woman?"

"Is it useful to ask? You men are the best liars!"

Li Fan laughed: "Dadu, I like a generous woman like you."

"Fuck you, if I knew you were sorry for me, I would definitely tear you into noodles! Why are we going?"

"Make cheongsams! I've taken care of that store, and the order of the director's wife has been transferred to us."

When the two came to the tailor shop again, it was still the little girl who received them.

The girl excitedly led the two of them into a door, and said to the elderly man holding scissors, "Grandpa, Li Fan and the others are here!"

"Master Zhang is good!"

"Hello old sir!"

The old man stared at the two of them for a moment through the reading glasses, and sighed: "This girl is more beautiful than Lin Huiyin!"

Gu Yating smiled lightly: "You always flatter me!"

The old man looked at Li Fan for a while, and said slowly, "You look a little bit like Wang Jingwei!"

Gu Yating clapped her hands with a smile, "Look, what did I say earlier? Does the old man agree?"

Li Fan suddenly felt the word "traitor" floating above his head, please don't make such a joke, please.

The old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "However, you have lost a bit of femininity and gained a bit of heroism. Don't be surprised, young man. It's just about looks. Is this girl making cheongsams?"

Li Fan said: "Yes, Master Zhang."

"What occasion do you wear?"

"daily!"

"What about the price?"

"It doesn't matter."

……

After asking a series of questions and measuring your figure, the old gentleman said, "Leave a contact information, and I will notify you when it is ready."

When Gu Yating was stunned, Li Fan pulled her and said, "Okay, old man, let's go first!"

When the two walked out of the tailor shop, Gu Yating asked suspiciously: "I haven't picked any fabrics or patterns yet, so why did I issue an order to evict customers?"

Li Fan explained: "This old man has a characteristic, that is, after knowing your general needs, he will handle all the details alone, and the customer has no right to speak."

Gu Yating was very surprised: "Then he can continue this business? How did he survive?"

"I've heard people say that he was not so stubborn and rigid before, but after the death of his wife more than 20 years ago, he changed completely. Tailors also have to make clothes according to his wishes. If customers are not satisfied, they will return I don’t welcome you. But after the cheongsam is finished, there are very few dissatisfied customers, and everyone gives thumbs up and praises.”

"Wow, so awesome?"

"Why don't you be a master, you wait here for a while, I'll go in and tell the old man about the director's wife."

Li Fan stepped into the tailor's shop again, and said cautiously, "Mr."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I want to change it. The purpose of this cheongsam is slightly modified."

The old man put down the scissors, "Oh, tell me."

"Wear it when you get married. My idea may be to hang a string of pearls around the neck, that's it."

"Get married..." The old man fell into deep thought, and for a moment, he said, "Then let me make you a suit."

Li Fan was overjoyed, "Really? Great, thank you."

When the old man was measuring Li Fan's body, Li Fan suddenly said: "Old man, I have a heartfelt request."

"Huh? Tell me!"

"I won't do this one, can you make another one for that girl?"

"why?"

"I'm afraid that her body will change a little in a few years, and she won't be able to wear this dress again."

The old man was silent for a moment, then picked up the ruler again, "Don't move."

Just when Li Fan's heart was cold, the old man said: "I wish you happiness, children, now I have more than I can do, so I will try my best to do it for you."

Li Fan was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

"If a young girl is well maintained, her figure will change little. When do you plan to get married?"

"After graduation, I will marry her."
