Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Yang Li came back from school with a heavy heart, sitting alone in the car and kept recalling the information about competitors that the professor had said before.

He seems to have a balance in his heart, put his and his father's craftsmanship on the left side, and his competitors' things on the right side, to see which side is heavier.

Don't think about it, the right side must be heavier.

Ahhhhhh, Yang Li is going crazy.

Although I know there will definitely be competitors, but what kind of magic is it for competitors to join forces with those wine industry groups?Thinking about it this way, the opponent's advantage is too great.

Those wine industry groups are originally state-owned enterprises and have a good relationship with CCTV. Once they get involved, who will they shoot?

Although the professors said they would help Yang Li, they themselves are just teachers who teach and educate people. How much energy can they have in the program group?Besides, the professors themselves are also the consultants of those wine industry groups, don't they help other companies to help him?

Yang Li's face was depressed, as if he had been hit hard, and Zhou Cheng, who was driving to pick him up, couldn't help but tense.

"You don't have to worry too much. What it looks like depends on how our boss talks. Although you are more professional brewers, we are more professional when it comes to making shows. Besides, it is not a certainty. , There will never be another opportunity like this." Zhou Cheng comforted him incoherently.

He was actually looking forward to this show, but if the competitors were too strong, it was not unacceptable for them to lose.

In the world, where can everything be as one wishes?

"No, I won't just throw in the towel." Perhaps something Zhou Cheng said hit Yang Li's point, but now Yang Li became aggressive, "I worked so hard to bring so much wine from home, the bottle of Yangliu I just took a sip myself, do you know how many years it took to brew that bottle of Yangliu? I will be 26 years old soon, and that bottle of Yangliu has been brewed for 26 years at least!"

If it wasn't for participating in this show, how could he be willing to take out this bottle of willow?

"Yeah, it's good to have confidence. I'm your manager, so I definitely support you." Zhou Cheng said with a smile, "Let's go back and ask Sister Wang for her opinion."

Yang Li and Zhou Cheng returned to the studio and found that Wang Chuhong was already waiting for them there.

"Sister Wang is like this, this time I went back to see the professor..."

In a few words, Yang Li made it clear about his meeting with the professor and the competitor that the professor said. After speaking, he looked at Wang Chuhong eagerly, like a puppy who was about to be abandoned, his eyes were wet, and he looked a little Pitiful.

Wang Chuhong probably understood the helplessness in Yang Li's heart. This kind of originally hopeful thing suddenly sent another more powerful competitor to grab it, and he must not be in a good mood.

"That's for sure. I told you before that there is only a [-]-[-] chance of us being on the show. What I'm afraid of is this kind of connection from the sky. If this connection has some strength, it will be even more troublesome." Wang Chuhong said faintly replied.

In the entertainment circle, even the current Zheng Wushu doesn't dare to say what role he wants, he can get any role, and there are always a few of his competitors.Moreover, in the entertainment circle, there are always a few new faces appearing in the new generation, and they may become Raiders from Heaven at any time.

If the related party has no strength at all, that's a good thing, but if the other party has some strength, maybe they will beat you up and say that you are just trying to gain popularity.

Yang Li and Zhou Cheng's faces were a bit ugly, and Sister Wang said so, could it really be that bad?

"Pfft, you two don't need to be too nervous. Wu Shu hasn't come back yet. If he can go well, we don't have a chance to fight hard. There are people from the wine industry group, and you also have people from the entertainment industry. Maybe in the eyes of others, we are the ones who want to use our connections to get through the back door!" Wang Chuhong laughed.

Yang Li thought about it and was happy.

Isn't that right, the wine industry group is still a professional field, isn't it they who are engaged in the entertainment industry are taking a slant?Maybe they are the villains in the eyes of others, and they are the protagonists.

Zheng Wushu, who was highly anticipated by them, is now recalling the past with Zhou Long.

Zheng Wushu is not very old, but his working age is already comparable to that of many years old actors.In Zheng Wushu's memory, almost 90.00% of his life is spent in the crew. He has enjoyed this kind of spotlight since he was a child, and enjoys the fun of playing various roles.

I remember the first collaboration between him and Zhou Long was when Zhou Long played a policeman and he played the policeman's son.In that scene, he had to quarrel with Zhou Long, which was actually a difficult thing for Zheng Wushu, who has always admired Zhou Long.

At that time, Zhou Long's own youngest son was almost as old as Zheng Wushu, so he was very patient with Zheng Wushu.

Because that movie was a big production, it took more than half a year to shoot. For more than half a year, they were always referred to as father and son. When the filming ended, a father-son relationship really developed.

For Zheng Wushu and Zhou Long at that time, they didn't meet their biological father and son for a long time, but they had feelings, so the appearance of the other party just became a sustenance.

It might sound odd to say that, but it is what it is.

Of course, Zheng Wushu's parents love Zheng Wushu very much. For various reasons, they can't engage in the drama industry they like. Therefore, after discovering Zheng Wushu's talent, they took Zheng Wushu into the industry without hesitation.

But they also have their own busy careers, it is impossible to accompany Zheng Wushu, they have been filming on the set, and more often they still invite various nanny assistants to take care of Zheng Wushu.

Besides, they don't only have Zheng Wushu's son, and Zheng Wushu has been on the crew all the year round, how much affection can they share?And all those with outstanding acting talent are passionate and sensitive.

Because they are sensitive and good at observation, they can play various roles and experience the emotions of different people.

For Zheng Wushu's parents, Zheng Wushu was not the only choice.

From the perspective of modern people, Zheng Wushu's parents are undoubtedly a pair of good parents.They gave their son freedom, respected his son's dream, and supported his dream, keeping an appropriate distance, neither interfering too much in his private life, nor being too cold with him, just like the stage name they helped Zheng Wushu change, Wushuang , unfettered.

But Zheng Wushu actually hopes that his parents can be more selfish and care for him more, and it doesn't matter if he crosses the line a little bit.

Zhou Long made up for such feelings completely.

Because child stars are actually easy to learn to be bad.

They don't have a healthy living environment, and they don't meet normal friends of the same age.There are so many temptations in the entertainment industry that even adults cannot avoid, so child stars who have lived in the entertainment industry since childhood are often easily led astray.

Don't look at the fact that there are many famous child stars in the entertainment industry, but it's just the survivor effect.

There are very few child stars who really shined at a very young age, and who have successfully maintained their high popularity in adulthood.

Most of them are famous when they are young, but they are mediocre when they grow up, or they are a little famous when they are young, but they are not very famous, and when they grow up, they show their previous works in the entertainment industry to stir up their feelings.

Zhou Long probably has seen a lot of people like this, so when Zheng Wushu was on the set, Zhou Long was very strict with him.

Until now, Zheng Wushu and Zhou Long would give gifts to each other every year and festival. When Zhou Long celebrated his birthday, Zheng Wushu would go out of his way to find him a birthday gift that fit his birthday wishes, and reject all the announcements to go to the banquet.

Zhou Long's sons said with half envy and half jealousy, "You are just like Dad's son."

Because Zhou Long's sons did not inherit Zhou Long's acting talent, and their looks were not satisfactory, Zhou Long gave up the idea of ​​letting them enter the entertainment industry after paving the way for them to no avail.

As long as they don't learn to be bad, it's okay to live a more ordinary life.

"Wu Shu, you pour just one glass. Why did you bring so much wine this time when you came to see me?" Zhou Long was a little surprised. Although he was well maintained, the corners of his eyes were still covered with wrinkles. After removing all the makeup, he It looks more like an ordinary old man.

Zheng Wushu didn't speak, but calmly lifted the lids of the wine he brought.

In an instant, the aroma of wine filled the whole room.

Zhou Long took a deep breath, with a bit of intoxication and admiration on his face, "The aroma of the wine is strong but not scattered. You can tell it's good wine just by smelling it. Fill it up quickly."

Artists of the older generation like Zhou Long almost love to drink.

In his words, when he goes out to film in thin clothes in winter, and drinks a sip of spirits beforehand, he feels confident.

I don't know that Zhou Long likes to drink, and Zhou Long's friends also like to drink. Zheng Wushu even knows that Zhou Long has several wineries abroad that produce red wine exclusively for him.

However, as people get older and want to maintain their health, they should drink less of this wine.

"These wines are waiting for you to take them back. If you want to drink, drink this glass of ginseng and wolfberry wine first." Zheng Wushu closed the lid of the wine again in front of Zhou Long.

Zhou Long's expression was filled with pain.

Is there anything more cruel than putting it in front of him for a long time, but he can only smell it?

Ginseng and wolfberry wine, this tonic wine Zhou Long has already drank until he vomited.

Everyone knows that Zhou Long loves to drink, but as a kung fu star, his whole body is mended and tattered, so for the sake of his health, all the people who give him wine are all kinds of tonic wine.

Now Zhou Long felt like throwing up just by smelling this kind of tonic wine. Seeing that Zheng Wushu poured him a glass of tonic wine, his whole face wrinkled.

Seeing Zhou Long's resistance, Zheng Wushu was really angry and funny, because he still had to talk about something, so he just took a sip, "Uncle, take a sip first and then talk."

Zhou Long closed his eyes, as if he had encountered something difficult to make a decision, he gulped it down in one gulp.

Isn't it just ginseng wolfberry wine? Hasn't he never drank it?

Ok?

After drinking the wine, Zhou Long noticed something unusual.

Huh?

Zhou Long opened his eyes, and quickly looked at the bottle of ginseng and wolfberry wine brought by Zheng Wushu, "Bring me another glass, I'll try again."

At that sip just now, he didn't taste it at all.

Zheng Wushu had expected this, so he poured him another cup.

When drinking this time, Zhou Long tasted it slowly.

The bottle of ginseng and wolfberry wine that Zheng Wushu brought was somewhat different from the one Zhou Long had drunk before.

Zhou Long had drunk it before, it basically had no alcohol flavor, it was full of ginseng flavor, as if he couldn't afford to give this gift without putting a little more ginseng in it. There are also some nosebleeds that are replenished.

It is the difference brought by Zheng Wushu.

The bitterness and astringency of ginseng, the sweet and sour taste of wolfberry, and the rice aroma of baijiu all blend together perfectly to achieve a delicate balance.When drinking it, although there is inevitably some medicinal taste, it is within the range that Zhou Long can just bear.

I can't usually drink to satisfy my cravings, but drinking this seems to be passable.

"What do you think, uncle?" Zheng Wushu asked solemnly.

"Not bad." Zhou Long cleared his throat, "Where did you buy this wine?"

If possible, he went to that place to order several different flavors of tonic.

"I didn't buy it, it was brewed by the artist newly signed by my studio." Zheng Wushu replied.

Wait for the newly signed artist to brew it himself?

Zhou Long couldn't help being a little dazed.

He did hear that Zheng Wushu recently signed an artist, but he also knew that Zheng Wushu planned to open his own studio, so it was completely normal, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

But listening to what Zheng Wushu said now, it seems that if he signed him because of his craftsmanship.

"Are there still artists who can make their own wine these days? The younger generations now have a variety of talents." Zhou Long couldn't help but sighed like this. It's not like they just entered the entertainment industry without knowing anything back then. Learning from the ground up, it's pretty much a thing of the past to tell you a joke during a talent show.

"He came from a major in brewing engineering at a serious C major. His father is a professional brewer. There is a small winery at home, and the craftsmanship has been passed down for more than ten generations. Naturally, it is not bad."

If it is said that Zheng Wushu is only bringing wine and Zhou Long is a little confused, then Zheng Wushu is now so clear about the identity of the artist in his hands, and also specifically pointed out the identity of the wine maker, which is a bit unusual.

Zhou Long is indeed a person who has experienced a lot of troubles in the entertainment circle, and he has already guessed Zheng Wushu's intentions in almost a second thought.

"You came here for that CCTV program." Zhou Long said confidently, "Otherwise, why would you come to see me with a drink on purpose? You just won the title of Best Actor not long ago, and many directors should talk to you Play is right."

Zheng Wushu is now in the golden age of an actor, and he has just won an award and has been widely recognized by the industry. What is amazing is that his number of fans is not inferior to those idol stars at all. An actor with both commercial value and artistic value is very good. Rarely, it's no wonder those directors didn't drive Zheng Wushu crazy.

"That's right." Zheng Wushu readily admitted this, "The artist I signed is a bit talented, but he's not young anymore, he'll be 26 after the Chinese New Year. It will take five or six years. If you are unlucky, it may take longer. I can't wait so long. In order to maintain my current image, the number of dramas I take on in China must be greatly reduced, and the exposure rate must continue to decrease. The focus may be I will start to move abroad. Therefore, I need an artist under me who can take over my career in China. Otherwise, I am afraid that Huaying will not let me go easily."

Now Zheng Wushu's reputation in the country is unmatched, if he wants to go further, he must go abroad, and besides, it is too early for him to think about retirement at his current age.

Now that the film market in their country has opened up, many foreign film companies have set their sights on the cake here. In the past, Chinese people were vying to get into those big-budget commercial films, but now they are trying to get some actors to participate in their films. Soy sauce is used as a promotional point.

This is a good opportunity for Zheng Wushu now.

Not to mention that Zhou Long also knows a lot of actor and director friends abroad. With the relationship between Zheng Wushu and Zhou Long, Zhou Long has already drawn the line and built a bridge for him. Coupled with Zheng Wushu's own value, Zheng Wushu wants to It's not that difficult to get a heavy and complex role.

Now is a good time to fight hard, and it is impossible for Zheng Wushu to give up foreign markets.

But people's energy is limited, if Zheng Wushu concentrates on the foreign market, then the country is very likely to be under the hands of others, and then naturally he will be beyond his reach.

But if Yang Li can get up and slowly take over Zheng Wushu's domestic business, then Zheng Wushu's worries will be much less.

The reason why Huaying pulled Zheng Wushu relentlessly at the beginning and refused to let go, and after the contract was terminated, he used various methods against Zheng Wushu was precisely because Huaying did not have a capable figure like Zheng Wushu.

In Huaying Company, there are more people who are popular but have no acting skills, or have acting skills but are not popular at all, and the rest are some variety artists.

Zheng Wushu has occupied too many resources in China. Once he struggles abroad, Huaying is ready to let his artists tear up the resources.Even Zheng Wushu heard the news that Huaying was in frequent contact with certain traffic artists.

At that time, whether it is low-cost cut-offs or falsified data to deceive people, there will always be various methods. When Zheng Wushu returns from abroad, he may face a decline in domestic popularity or besieged by other stars. It is the situation of competitors.

This is really too bad.

Stars are not hacked because they have no rivals, and there is no mutual competition between the same type.But once the resources in Zheng Wushu's hands are divided by others, how can others be willing to spit out the meat in their mouths?At that time, Zheng Wushu will not only face one Huaying, but half of the film and television companies in the entertainment industry.

But it would be different if the opponent was Yang Li.

Yang Li's eyebrows are somewhat similar to his. When fans see him, they can't help but think of Zheng Wushu. In addition, the other party is an artist in his hands. After these days, they almost know their character. .

Yang Li's manager, assistants, and work team are almost the same as his, and it is impossible for the other party to have any extraneous intentions.

Therefore, this CCTV program will be the starting point for Yang Li to be recognized by the country's mainstream media.Many directors are willing to shoot the legendary stories of small people. Yang Li has the label certification in this area, and it will be smoother in the future, and those big brands that think they are high-quality are also fond of this kind of craftsmanship.

For the successors of this traditional craftsmanship, those who are fashion resource brands almost all hold an attitude of respect.

With the resources of Zheng Wushu's studio, the certification of CCTV, and Yang Li's own efforts, if this is not popular, Zheng Wushu probably has nothing else to say.

"I understand your worries now, and I know your current thoughts. In fact, to a certain extent, it is indeed the best way to solve your predicament. But the problem is that CCTV's decision is beyond your control. I heard that CCTV's I have already started contacting those in charge of the wine industry group, and they have recommended a few folk wine masters, and CCTV is already considering it." Zhou Long replied seriously.

As the host, he naturally knows more information than the outside world.

"Uncle Long, this ginseng and wolfberry wine is only the work of Yang Li. His current craftsmanship is completely inferior to that of his father. His family has been running a small winery in that small town for many years. It has been passed down for more than several generations. Serving the emperor in the court. You might as well take a look at this bottle and try his father's craft."

Zheng Wushu took out the bottle of willow.

When he got the wine, he took a sip by himself first, no, it was three glasses to be exact.Because this wine was brewed by Yang Li's father for his wife, the alcohol content is not high, it is quite easy to drink, and it will take a long time to show its stamina, so Zheng Wushu couldn't help drinking a few more sips.

He is very, very confident in this wine.

Suspiciously, Zhou Long brought Yang Liu over and poured himself a cup.

He has drunk a lot of wine, and when he was filming abroad, many big stars brought out their own collection of wine to invite him to drink.

After all, it was because Zheng Wushu was a drinker and couldn't handle alcohol, so he hadn't seen many good bars.

The suspicion in Zhou Long's heart completely dissipated when he swallowed the cup of willow.

He is not a professional, and he cannot praise this wine from all aspects like the professors. He can only say a word from the bottom of his heart, "It's delicious!"

It's really delicious.

Although foreign wines are also exquisite, as a Chinese, I love Chinese wines the most.

"Uncle Long, do you think this kind of craftsmanship can be seen by CCTV programs?" Zheng Wushu looked at him with a smile.

"If it doesn't work, there are not many who can do it." Zhou Long finally knew where Zheng Wushu's self-confidence came from, "I have been drinking friends with Producer Li's father for many years. Give me, if you believe me, just wait for my good news."
