Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

The Shanghai Film Studio was once glorious, and could even be said to be the Hollywood of China. Especially before liberation, film companies and many stars gathered in Shanghai and shot many excellent films.

Unfortunately, when the war broke out, many outstanding directors and actors in Shanghai went to Hong Kong to develop, which led to the gradual decline of the film industry, while the film industry in Hong Kong became increasingly popular.

The two of them rode their bikes to the film studio. The old man in the message room was sitting and dozing off. His head was drooping lower and lower, almost hitting the table.

"uncle!"

Xia Qingqing called out from the window, and the old man was so scared that his sleepiness disappeared and he felt completely refreshed.

The angry old man was about to curse, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was a pretty girl. Wow, she was as beautiful as the four golden flowers in the factory!

[The four golden flowers of the Shanghai Film Studio in the 1980s, Gong Xue, Zhao Jing, Wu Haiyan, Zhang Yu, all of them are natural beauties. I won’t post their photos, you can search them online]

The old man's anger had mostly subsided, but he still had a stern face and said unhappily, "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf!"

"Uncle, I want to ask you about someone!"

Xia Qingqing stuffed a pack of Peony cigarettes into his pocket. The middle finger and ring finger of this old man turned yellow, and it was obvious that he was a heavy smoker.

"Who are you asking? I'm not bragging, but I know everyone who has worked in the film studio. I've worked in the factory my whole life, and the factory director doesn't have as much experience as me!"

When the old man saw the cigarettes, he immediately became friendly, but he also felt guilty. It was wrong to doze off during working hours, so why was he yelling at the girl?

"There is a master named Jin Yinghui, who used to be a screenwriter at a film studio. He got into trouble a few years ago and went to a farm in the northwest for reform. I heard that he was transferred back. Do you know him?"

Xia Qingqing leaned closer to the window and asked.

The old man's face changed slightly, and he looked around and asked vigilantly: "Why are you asking about him?"

"My dad worked on the farm with Master Jin. My dad got into an accident and disappeared. I wanted to ask Master Jin about what happened back then."

As Xiao Yingyue spoke, her eyes turned red.

The old man's guard was gone, and he sighed, "Go inside and talk!"

He took out two small stools from under the table, asked them to sit on them, and prepared to pour tea.

"We don't drink tea, please feel free." Xia Qingqing stopped him with a smile.

The old man sat down, looked Xiao Yingyue up and down, sighed again, and asked, "Why did your father go there?"

"My dad was falsely accused by people around him and he had no way to defend himself!"

Xiao Yingyue wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and asked, "Uncle, do you know Jin Yinghui?"

"How could I not know him? He is a talented man, but unfortunately he has a bad fate."

The old man shook his head with a regretful look on his face. He didn't say much about Jin Yinghui, but he mentioned Jin Yinghui's current workplace.

"He came back three years ago and now works in a street-level shoe factory. I heard he's not doing well."

The old man told me the address of the shoe factory.

Xia Qingqing and Xiao Yingyue thanked him, said goodbye and left.

When I came out of the message room, I bumped into a beautiful woman. The woman was in her thirties, with no makeup on, and her ponytail was casually tied with a plain handkerchief. She was wearing a camel cashmere coat and a magenta high-necked cashmere sweater underneath. The clothes looked a bit old and the style was not fashionable, but she wore it with a charming style.

Cashmere is a kind of fine wool.

But this woman’s style is different from Sister Lu’s.

Sister Lu’s charm is non-aggressive and as sweet as candy. It is a fatal temptation for men, and they will approach her like moths to a flame.

The beauty of this woman is very aggressive, just like an enchanting and beautiful flower blooming on a snowy mountain. It is also a fatal temptation to men, but men dare not climb the mountain to pick flowers.

"sorry!"

Xia Qingqing took a step back.

"fine."

The woman's voice was also very pleasant, just as aggressive as her beauty. Just by listening to her voice, one could tell that she was a forthright and stubborn person.

"Shui Lihua, have you finished filming your scene?"

The old man greets the woman.

"It's just five minutes. How long can you shoot? I'm here to get paid."

Shui Lihua looked self-deprecating. She glanced at the backs of Xia Qingqing and Xiao Yingyue and said with a smile, "Newcomers? They are all beauties!"

"I'm here to ask about Jin Yinghui."

"Why are you asking about him? A relative?"

Shui Lihua's voice was a little shrill and she was a little excited.

"They are not relatives. The father of the round-faced girl used to work on the farm with Jin Yinghui. Her father got into an accident and disappeared, so she came to Jin Yinghui to ask about the situation. Hey, you don't want to collect your salary?"

"I'll pick it up tomorrow!"

Shui Lihua didn't even turn her head back and went after Xia Qingqing and the others.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "I wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Alas, it is difficult to break the barrier of love!"

Xia Qingqing sat on the bicycle and with a tiptoe movement, the bike started to slide, but soon stopped.

Being stopped by someone.

It was the beautiful woman I had just bumped into at the door.

"busy?"

Xia Qingqing asked in confusion.

"Are you looking for Jin Yinghui?" Shui Lihua asked excitedly.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Yes, I'll take you there!"

Shui Lihua sat in the back seat without any hesitation, and put her arm around Xia Qingqing's waist affectionately, not showing any awkwardness at all.

Xia Qingqing twitched her lips and said, "I can't ride you like this. Get off first, and when I can ride, you can jump on!"

Shui Lihua jumped out of the car, and when the car started to slide, she jumped back in lightly.

"Are you Jin Yinghui's girlfriend?"

Xia Qingqing asked casually while pedaling her bike.

"No, we are colleagues."

Shui Lihua sighed softly.

Xia Qingqing didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that she was in love with her boyfriend but not interested. However, this woman was so beautiful, how could Jin Yinghui have the heart to reject her?

"My name is Shui Lihua, the water from the tap, the beautiful Li, and the Chinese Hua."

"My name is Xia Qingqing, Xia for summer, Qing for green grass, and her name is Xiao Yingyue, Xiao for Empress Dowager Xiao, Ying for azalea, and Yue for bright moon!"

After introducing each other, they became much closer.

"I've seen the movie you starred in, the one that was shown a while ago. You played a character from before the liberation..."

Xiao Yingyue couldn't continue speaking and looked embarrassed.

"She was playing a skilled actress, right? She was on screen for less than five minutes and she died!"

Shui Lihua didn't mind and said it openly, but her tone was a little resentful.

"You acted very well. I think you acted better than the leading actors, really!"

Xiao Yingyue's tone was very sincere, and it was indeed her true words. Shui Lihua played the role of a skilled woman at the bottom of the old society vividly, especially -

"When that character died, the despair and resentment in his eyes were so layered in your performance. My dad always says that even small roles can be played brilliantly, and you played it especially well!"

Xiao Yingyue praised Shui Lihua sincerely. She felt that Shui Lihua's acting skills and looks were enough to support the role of the lead, but she had never seen Shui Lihua play the leading role. She only played small roles with a few minutes of screen time.

Shui Lihua's expression was moved, and she asked curiously, "Is your father also an actor?"

"He used to work at the film studio. His name is Xiao Zhifei. You may not know him!"

"Yes, I know him. I've talked to your dad before, but he was the main character back then and I was just a minor supporting role. I'm still a minor supporting role now."

Shui Lihua had a good attitude and didn't complain about anything. She even looked Xiao Yingyue up and down and said that she didn't look like her father.

"I look like my grandfather. You act so well, why don't you play the leading role?"

Xiao Yingyue was very curious. In several movies, Shui Lihua's acting skills surpassed those of the leading actress.

Shui Lihua sneered and said sarcastically: "My appearance is that of a natural actress and concubine. I can't play the leading role. The leader said so!"
