I really don't want to be in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 5 Overkill
...

This is not the best way out for you right now.

Hearing this, how could the sophisticated Xu Kai not understand that his father had already thought of a way out for him?

"Then dad, tell me, what is the best way out for me now?"

Seeing that Xu Kai finally got on the road, Xu Yun immediately regained his spirits: "Of course I rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to drink water."

Xu Jiazu was a senior official in the late Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming Dynasty fell to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Zu didn't want to change his court and become an official in the Qing court, so he took his servants and soldiers to the south.

Walking to Furong Village, Xu Zu saw the skyscrapers on three cliffs, red and white against each other, just like a lotus. He was attracted by this strange mountain and wonder, so he decided to stay and settle here.

After traveling hundreds of miles around, Xu Zu finally chose to build a five-entry and five-exit mansion with a large garden on a mirror-like natural flat land of more than ten acres in the middle of the south cliff of Furong Mountain as the Xu family's ancestral home.

And Xu Zu's servants and soldiers settled down at the foot of the mountain and became a family.

Furong Village has been born since then.

Later, the Xu family's genealogy was lost in the flames of war, and after that special period in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one mentioned master and servant anymore.

However, Xu Kai's great-grandfather participated in a series of modern wars, and had a group of old comrades-in-arms who died and made friends. Under his mediation, the Xu family successfully preserved the ancestral house intact and handed it over to Xu Kai's grandfather. , and later handed over to Xu Yun.

It's a pity that more than 20 years ago, there was a fire in Xujiazu's house, and the last three buildings and the surrounding gardens were seriously damaged.

At that time, the Xu family really couldn't afford the money to repair such a big ancestral house.

As a result, only some firewood, old things, tatters and even garbage can be piled up in the back three entrances and the surrounding gardens on weekdays.

In the early 90s, the country issued a Baoshan policy.

No one is willing to contract the forest on the south cliff of Furong Mountain where Xu’s family is located, so the village cadres tricked Xu Kai’s grandfather into contracting this forest. years, and there is priority right to renew after 3000 years.

Xu Kai's grandfather was a little overjoyed and impulsive. He paid 3000 yuan to contract the forest without discussing it with anyone.

Only then did the Xu family know that the trees in this forest were not allowed to be harvested and traded by the Xu family.

The point is that this mountain forest has no other resources that can make money.

In fact, even so, there are ways to make money.

This way is to sell the cemetery.

Many Baoshan people make money by selling cemeteries.

But before Xu Kai's grandfather implemented it, Furongtang and Pingshan next to Furongshan were designated as Pingshan Park. Therefore, the nearby mountains and forests are not allowed to bury the ancestors, and those who have already been buried can afford to leave.

There is no way, this mountain forest can only rot in the hands of the Xu family.

Xu Kai thought that in the past ten years, Xu Yun had finally found some way to make money in his desolate house or in this tasteless mountain forest, so he would talk about relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.

"What do you want me to do with our old house? Or what do you want me to do with our forest?" Xu Kai asked.

"Don't mention this shabby house and this shabby forest to me, it makes me upset."

"I don't know what my ancestors thought. They ran to build a house in the middle of the mountain. If our house was at the foot of the mountain, it would only be 6 to 7000 square meters. If we moved, the few people in our family would eat for ten lifetimes. If you can’t finish eating, even if you don’t want to move, you can rent it out to collect rent, but our dilapidated house is on the middle of the mountain, and it takes more than 20 minutes to climb up. Let others live, and others are not willing to live.”

"There is also this piece of broken forest. I really don't know what your grandfather thought at the beginning, what was he doing with it, if he had covered the Pingshan area, our family would have given it away a long time ago."

Xu Yun waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I said that we rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to drink water. I don't mean this dilapidated house or this dilapidated forest, but our Furong Village is close to Hengdian, the Eastern Hollywood."

After a pause, Xu Yun said his plan: "Based on your current situation, you can just do a group performance. You don't need a degree or work experience to do a group performance. The key is that we can help you."

"Do group acting?" Xu Kai was stunned for a while: "Is this the best way out for me that you think of?"

Xu Yun stared: "Why, you look down on us gangsters?"

It was only then that Xu Kai remembered that his father, his mother, his younger brother, and his younger siblings were all group performers, no matter how much he looked down on group performers, he couldn't show it.

Xu Kai quickly pulled the words back: "No, I just didn't expect that this would be the way out you found for me."

"Humph!"

After snorting heavily, Xu Yuncai went on to say, "Don't underestimate us cadre performers, not everyone can do this job well."

"Don't talk about others, just talk about Xu Li. When he first entered the industry, he couldn't even find a job."

"After working for more than two months, he started to work, but he only earned 2 to 30 yuan a day, which was not enough for him to spend on himself."

"It took nearly half a year before he could get the money back."

"Later, I found out that in order to make more money, he always takes on the roles of carrying sedan chairs, coffins, being exposed to the rain, wearing mourning, and even acting in scenes of dead people. Sometimes our family's finances are tight, and he even takes in scenes of real beatings."

"Why? You can get an extra 10 yuan for carrying the sedan chair, carrying the coffin, getting in the rain, and wearing mourning. You get a red envelope for playing the dead, and you get 30 yuan for the real beating..."

Hearing Xu Yun's words, Xu Kai, who is familiar with everything in the entertainment industry, immediately flashed before his eyes, the scenes of Xu Li carrying the sedan chair, carrying the coffin, wearing hemp and mourning, playing the dead and being beaten up.

Xu Kai's heart suddenly felt sour!
"In those two years, I didn't have any business. I ran around here and there, and I didn't make any money. Your mother had to take care of Mai Mai, and she was dying. Mai Mai was not weaned at that time. , needs to drink milk powder every day, that brat is still holding his mouth, she doesn’t drink domestic milk powder, she just drinks expensive imported milk powder, there is no way, Xu Li can only buy imported milk powder for her to drink.”

"During that time, Xu Li was the supporter of both the family and the outside world. At a young age, he shouldered the burden of the family."

"But Xu Li has never complained of suffering or tiredness, so he gritted his teeth and survived."

"Later, Xu Li and Tang Yun got together, Tang Yun was able to take care of Maimai with your mother, and your mother and I took Maimai to play tricks with Xu Li and Tang Yun, and our family's life gradually improved. .”

"Now Xu Li has become a big special, earning 500 to 800 a day, your mother is a middle special, 200 to 300 a day, Tang Yun and I are small specials, 150 a day, the four of us can earn more than 1000 a day, if When it comes to fat jobs, it’s not impossible to earn 2000 a day.”

"Last year when we filmed "The Great Eunuch in Troubled Times", Xu Li got the role of a little eunuch and put us all into the group. Your mother played the role of the nanny, Tang Yun played the maid of honor, and I played the role of the prince's long follower. We earned a lot of money in just over half a month." More than 20000."

"The only pity is that this job is always unavailable, and we have to be idle for more than half a month."

"We discussed it and believed that the main reason for this situation is that the group leader we follow is not good. He has a good job, even if it's just a normal job, he doesn't think about us first."

"So, I learned from the painful experience and decided to be the group leader myself."

Speaking of this, Xu Yun tugged at his collar and said, "Now I will introduce your father to you officially. I am already a group leader with nearly ten fixed group performers."

Xu Kai quickly applauded the old man to satisfy his vanity.

Xu Yun pressed his hands down: "Don't applaud first, I have just opened my business not long ago, and I still need help from others to grow."

This time, Xu Kai understood that Mr. Ganqing wanted to pull him to strengthen his team.

really!

Xu Yun immediately said: "Although I have nearly ten people in my hands, except for Xu Li, your mother and Tang Yun, everyone else is useless. Every time I go out to contact business, I feel very guilty. People ask me if I have any martial arts masters or special actors.”

"With your body like this, you can definitely be a martial artist. You have such a good image, and you can definitely be a special actor. I'll work it out for you. You can earn five or seven thousand a month. It's definitely no problem."

"And this is just the beginning. The goal I set for you is to be a big boss like Xu Li, or even a character."

After Xu Yun finished talking about his plan, Xu Kai couldn't laugh or cry: "You actually let me, the No. 18 direct descendant of Fuyaozi, go to play tricks with you, you are too talented and useless."

"Besides, based on my experience in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years in my previous life, even if I return to the entertainment industry, I won't be doing group performances."

The essential--

In his previous life, Xu Kai was an outstanding graduate of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy.

After graduating, Xu Kai has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years. He has done everything from stage management, make-up, coordination, lighting, art, photography, soundtrack, special effects, scripts, and acting. All of them have excellent skills and become executive directors, and have participated in the shooting of many huge productions.

It can be said that as long as there is a better chance in the later stage, Xu Kai will definitely become a well-known director.

But unlike many people who are determined to become famous, Xu Kai's entertainment career of more than 20 years has allowed Xu Kai to see through the flashy nature of male thieves and female prostitutes in the entertainment industry. If it wasn't for living, Xu Kai would have quit the entertainment industry long ago in his last life.

Now, after living a new life and mastering so many other skills, Xu Kai really doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry anymore.

But before Xu Kai organized to reject Xu Yun's words, Xu Yun sighed leisurely, and then said sincerely: "I asked you to do group performances with us, not just to find a meal for you. Over the years, Xu Li For our family and for you, you have paid a lot, you learned about Entubao, it is too difficult for Xu Li to work hard in the entertainment industry alone, and your mother and I are getting old, so I just thought, you If you can also enter the entertainment circle, at least you two brothers can have a support."
