light and shadow [entertainment circle]

When Xia Zhi really got away from the scene, it was already the evening of that day.Guan Shan accompanied Xia Zhi, who was already hungry, to have dinner in the restaurant of the hotel. While serving him food, he reminded him nicely: "Filming is filming, and reality is reality. On this point, Xia Zhi, you must distinguish!"

Xia Zhi listlessly picked a chopstick of shredded fish-flavored pork and stuffed it into his mouth, then nodded silently.

Guan Shan couldn't help sighing as he didn't even take the initiative to pick up his favorite glutinous rice balls right in front of him. "Xia Zhi, Mr. Guo is just playing Li Shimin's father. But in real life, he is not your father."

Xia Zhi's arm stiffened, and after a while, he finally put down the bowl and chopsticks sullenly. "I know it's silly of me to be so empathetic..."

Guan Shan rubbed his fingers unconsciously, he really wanted to smoke, but he restrained himself.When Xia Zhi's mother, Xia Xiushan, passed away, Xia Zhi was only 12 years old, and she was simply an ignorant child.Therefore, before Xia Xiushan died, she gave Guan Shan all of Xia Zhi's life experience.

Strictly speaking, Xia Zhi cannot be regarded as being born in a single-parent family.In fact, he was an illegitimate son of an unlucky father, so he took his mother's surname "Xia".Because the day of his birth happened to be the summer solstice in the 24 solar terms, his mother Xia Xiushan simply and rudely named him Xia Zhi.

The summer solstice, the day of the year when the sun is at its highest at noon.On this day, the scorching sun, high-temperature sauna, and bad weather seemed to vaguely imply that his birth was not expected.

Xia Zhi's mother, Xia Xiushan, was not a local resident of Jianghai City, she was born in a remote province in the south of Huaxia Kingdom.The locals are extremely patriarchal, which is the common impression of the Chinese people on that province.Xia Xiushan's family also has an older brother. As the only male in the family, the preferential treatment and family affection that the elder brother receives is naturally not comparable to that of "losing money" Xia Xiushan.

For a young girl who is in her prime, without the love of her parents and repeatedly bullied by her brother, her subsequent development is logical.She had a puppy love with her classmates in high school, and found out that she accidentally had a child in her sophomore year.

What a shame!My old Xia's family lost all their face to you shameless bitch!Why do not you go to hell? !

The fists and kicks of her parents fell on Xia Xiushan, who was only 17 years old, along with vicious insults, and the boyfriend who had vowed to marry her and love her for life had long been pushed away.Xia Xiushan wanted to give birth to the child for a paternity test, but her parents sent her to the hospital with fists and tears.As long as the child is aborted, this incident can barely be concealed; when it is born, it will be a criminal evidence that will not be cleaned up in a lifetime!

A 17-year-old girl was cheated, cheated, and finally abandoned.In such a desperate situation, what else can she believe in besides believing in her parents' sentence "We are for your own good"?

However, the cruel reality gave her another slap in the face!

Xia Xiushan's mother came to accompany her daughter in the abortion, but it was a well-known old gangster in the village who came to pay for it!In his mid-forties, he beat his wife away a few years ago, smoked, drank and played cards every day, and would fight with others when things went wrong.However, Xia Xiushan's parents planned to marry their daughter to Xia Xiushan after she had an abortion in exchange for a bride price of 5 yuan.

As a result, the married daughter splashed out the water.Xia Xiushan could no longer break the lintel of his old Xia family, and at the same time earn a sum of money for their precious son.Really good business!

At this moment, Xia Xiushan's heart was completely cold.She didn't dare to have an abortion anymore, she was afraid that she would already be lying on that old bastard's bed when she woke up. The 17-year-old Xia Xiushan did the biggest and most successful feat in her life. She stole her mother's money and escaped from the hospital. She bought a train ticket overnight and came to Jianghai City.Xia Xiushan had no relatives or friends to turn to in Jianghai City, but she still firmly settled down in Jianghai City, and since then severed contact with her hometown.Half a year later, she gave birth to Xia Zhi, her only relative in this world.

As one of the largest and most prosperous cities in China and even in the world, it is obviously not easy for a single mother with a child who has not graduated from high school to settle down here.But the strong and kind Xia Xiushan did not abandon Xia Zhi, nor did she give up on herself. She even tried to give Xia Zhi all the maternal love she had never enjoyed for many years, but years of hard work still caused her to suffer from severe liver disease early. hardening.What Xia Xiushan couldn't let go of at the end of her life was her only son, Xia Zhi.Guan Shan still remembered that she begged him with tears in her eyes. "After I die, don't notify my family. I don't want them to know the existence of Xia Zhi. They only have money in their eyes, and it will only drag Xia Zhi. I can't give Xia Zhi a complete family. I am very sorry for him. Let him suffer what I have suffered...and his father, I know Xia Zhi has always wanted to know who his father is...but I can't tell him that an irresponsible man will not be a good father. "

Guan Shan couldn't bear it. "Auntie, but he is Xia Zhi's father after all, Xia Zhi has the right to..."

Before Guan Shan finished speaking, Xia Xiushan shook her head with difficulty. "Mr. Guan, please believe me, I know my hometown and relatives better than you. Xia Zhi's heart is too soft, Mr. Guan, please take good care of him. I can only repay you in the next life."

Guan Shan sighed again, pulling away from his thoughts. "Xia Zhi, have you ever blamed your mother for all these years?"

"Because of my father?" Xia Zhi shook his head slightly, "Even if mother never mentioned him, I can guess that he is probably not a good person. Otherwise, he would not abandon me and mother." Speaking of this, he He couldn't help but lower his head and laugh at himself. "It's not so much that I transferred my feelings for my father to Mr. Guo, it's better to say that I always hope that my father can be like Mr. Guo."

Guan Shan got up and changed his position, sitting next to Xia Zhi and rubbing the top of his hair. "Old Guo is an upright man with both virtue and skill. He is indeed a good father that everyone admires." Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Xia Zhi, what if Mr. Guo is willing to accept you as a godson?" The matter of recognizing a godfather in the entertainment industry needs to be handled carefully, but for Xia Zhi, Guan Shan is willing to be ready to fight at any time.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi shook her head seriously. "If I hadn't joined the entertainment circle, or if I hadn't cooperated with Mr. Guo, I would have been willing. But now... I don't want people to say that we did everything to hype "Kai Tang"." After a pause, He added another sentence. ""Kai Tang" is a very good drama, and I don't want to disappoint everyone's hard work."

"With your acting skills, how can you fail everyone's hard work?" Just as Guan Shan and Xia Zhi were chatting in a low voice in a corner of the restaurant, a gentle laugh suddenly came over.The two followed the prestige, only to see Yue Qingfan and Zhou Huai walking over together holding wine glasses.

Guan Shan pushed away the chair and stood up, and even gave Xia Zhi a hand. "Mr. Yue, Mr. Zhou, hello."

Xia Zhi stood up to say hello. "Brother Fan, Brother Huai, why are you here?"

"Thank you, Mr. Guan." Zhou Huai slightly raised the wine glass in his hand, and responded with a smile. "The crew of "Kai Tang" are very devoted to the logistical affairs. It is very polite for Mr. Guan to come and prepare a banquet for us. This cup, I respect you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Qingfan followed suit He raised the wine glass in his hand.

Zhou Huai's words are not for the occasion, he is not very old, but he can't say much about the crew he has been with.It is not uncommon for those wealthy crews to spend a lot of money on board and lodging. The conditions that Guangying Film and Television can provide are obviously not comparable.But the crew of "Kai Tang" wins because they are comfortable. They try their best to provide relatively good conditions in life, and at the same time, they also pay great attention to protecting the privacy of the actors.There are many war scenes with various big scenes in the early stage of filming, and the crew spared no expense in terms of security facilities and accompanying doctors.And Guan Shan, an investor, never puts money from the big boss, instead he is more polite to the crew members.In this era when capital is king, Guan Shan's respect for actors from the heart is undoubtedly extremely rare.

"You two are welcome. It is the fate between us, Guangying and the two of us to be able to work together and complete a good show." Guan Shan replied with a smile, and picked up the teacup on the table casually. "I will replace the wine with tea, and I respect you both."

The four drank the wine and tea together and sat down together.

"Xia Zhi, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've already acted very well." As soon as he sat down, Yue Qingfan couldn't wait to repeat the old story. "I have a hunch that our drama will definitely be a hit. You and I, Brother Huai, are counting on you to drive our popularity!"

"Yes!" Yue Qingfan's words were very straightforward, but Zhou Huai laughed out loud.He has played the role of son Ruyu for many years, and he has indeed reached the bottleneck period of development.Playing Li Jiancheng in "Kai Tang" this time, although he is a villain, but the character design is very thick and in place.Zhou Huai really had high hopes for this role. "You're still too young, this is your second film, right? Inexperienced, it's normal that you can't get away from the role for a while when filming. After filming a few more films in the future, you will get used to it."

"I know, thank you Brother Huai." Because he couldn't get out of the role in time, Guo Keyong suffered a heart attack and affected the filming progress of the entire crew. Xia Zhi was obviously very embarrassed. "I'll pay attention to it in the future."

"That's wrong!" Unexpectedly, Yue Qingfan shook his head. "When you are filming, the ability to control the scene is inherent in you. You can bring everyone into the scene when you enter the film, and the effect of the film will be better! This kind of ability, we can't ask for it, you can do it Don't waste it!" Speaking of this, he smiled again and moved closer to Xia Zhi's side. "Brother Fan told you something. Your manager Li Zhiyi asked Director An at the banquet just now for the video of the scene between you and Mr. Guo. He said that he wanted to post it on the Internet as a sideshow of the filming. Guess what Director An said?"

"How to say?" Xia Zhi hurriedly asked.Xia Zhi felt that he had caused a catastrophe today, and he was worried all the time, fearing that Director An Ruilin would be dissatisfied with him.

"Director An said, no! He wants to add a scene of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son having a heart-to-heart talk after the Xuanwumen incident. That video is an important plot in that scene, so I can't give it! Do you know? What does this mean?" This time, without waiting for Xia Zhi to answer, Yue Qingfan couldn't help but embrace Xia Zhi, turning him into a poodle. "This means that you inspired An Dao, silly boy! What's the delay in the filming process for a long time, you made Li Shimin's character more profound and three-dimensional, and Dao An has to thank you!"

"Really?" Xia Zhi's simple mind was very easy to coax, hearing Yue Qingfan's words, his eyes lit up immediately.

After comforting Xia Zhi, Yue Qingfan and Zhou Huai quickly bid farewell and left.Guan Shan came and went in a hurry, and he only paid attention to Xia Zhi during the two visits. Not only did he not want to be accompanied by wine, he even didn't show up at the banquet specially arranged to express condolences to the entire crew.Both Yue Qingfan and Zhou Huai have been in the entertainment circle for many years, so they naturally know how to read people's facial expressions and leave private space for Guan Shan and Xia Zhi.

When the two walked out of the restaurant, Zhou Huai suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "Old Yue, I thought you were not convinced by Xia Zhi."

Yue Qingfan casually lit a cigarette for himself, smoked a few puffs before answering: "Luck, strength, backing, he has everything, this kind of life is born to make people jealous. If I continue to fight, won't I succeed?" The villain? Let's form a good relationship!" Yue Qingfan originally had the heart to win, but after seeing Xia Zhi's ability to shoot war scenes without a double, and to make literary dramas with Guo Keyong, he can do whatever he wants. died. "Ziwei Xing from the sky, it's so f*ckingly hopeless!" He laughed, flicked off his cigarette, and walked away.

In the restaurant, Guan Shan's face was already gloomy. "Brother Shan is comforting you, you are going to die; your brother Fan just said a few words, and your eyes will shine and your appetite will whet your appetite!"

When Xia Zhi heard Guan Shan's jealous complaint, he immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Brother Shan, are you jealous?"

Guan Shan stared at Xia Zhi coldly, and after a long time raised his jaw, he snorted arrogantly.

"Pfft ha ha ha..." The next second, Xia Zhi sprayed rice. "Ouch! My empty-nester brother! Could it be that my younger brother has met a new friend, and you are particularly disappointed? I think Brother Chi is right, you really should find a girlfriend!"

When the two terms "Tang Chi" and "girlfriend" were connected together, Guan Shan was immediately surprised. "Tang Chi? What nonsense did he tell you again?"

"No!" Xia Zhi replied blankly, "Just a while ago, Brother Shan, after you came to the grassland to visit the class, Brother Chi called me and said that you are busy with work every day and feel lonely. He wanted to introduce you to a girlfriend and asked if I would agree. .”

Under the dim light, a gleam of light suddenly flashed across Guan Shan's eyes. "How did you answer?"

"Promise! Of course I agree!" Xia Zhi smiled heartlessly, "I'm still waiting for my future sister-in-law to give me a nephew!"

"Aren't you afraid that brother Shan won't love you if he has a wife and children?" Guan Shan asked vaguely.

But when it came to this matter, Xia Zhi became serious.He put down the bowls and chopsticks, held Guan Shan's hands and said seriously: "Brother Shan, I always thought that meeting you was the greatest luck in my life. If it wasn't because of Brother Shan, I really wouldn't know that my mother would leave." What should I do alone in the future... Of course I hope to be with Brother Shan forever and never be separated for the rest of my life. But this does not mean that Brother Shan will not marry or have children for me. This is wrong, this It's too selfish. In the future... Brother Shan will have his own lover and flesh and blood, and of course I will too. But this does not mean that our relationship will be alienated because of this, we will always be good brothers, we just have a lot of family members. "

Guan Shan didn't speak at first, but just looked at Xia Zhi silently.His eyes are clear and transparent, like diamonds, like his heart.At this moment, Guan Shan couldn't help thinking of those past years.Guan Shan himself is also an illegitimate child, his mother abandoned him when he was young, and his father sent him to the United States early in order not to offend his wife.He has been in the United States for many years. Although he has made many friends, friends are not family members after all.Even if he returned to China and founded Light and Shadow Films together with Tang Chi, he would rarely go to Tang Chi's house to celebrate the New Year with his family during the holidays.He didn't intend to have a relationship with Tang Chi, but when he was with the Tang family, he was particularly aware that he was the extra person.

Later he adopted Xia Zhi, and his home finally started to feel like a home.Over the past few years, the light and shadow film industry has become bigger and bigger. Everyone said that Xia Zhi was lucky enough to be adopted by Guan Shan.But only Guan Shan knew that it was his luck to meet Xia Zhi.Although they are not blood brothers, they have depended on each other for life all these years, so what is the difference between them and blood brothers?Thinking of this, Guan Shan's heart softened even more, he couldn't help but take Xia Zhi's hand, and gently pressed a kiss on the back of his hand. "No matter what happens in the future, Brother Shan will always be Xia Zhi's good brother!"

The author has something to say:

Guan Shan: Xia Zhi, are you and Yue Qingfan alright?

Xia Zhi: We have been fine!

Yue Qingfan: ...
