Chapter 580: The Past(1/3)
"Come and eat!"
The table is already filled with dishes, and it is still a long European and American style dining table. After traveling for so many days, everyone has followed the local customs and gradually got used to this way of seating.
Just like having dinner on the first day in the villa, men sit on the left and women sit on the right. This is part of the tacit understanding formed by the friends, and it is also a little fun.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took their seats respectively. After playing all day, they hadn't eaten dinner until around nine o'clock in the evening. They were really hungry.
Everyone looked at the delicious food and their index fingers were a little excited.
Wu Jin and Xie Nan helped Liu Xiaoli open the wine. The men still drank whiskey and the women drank red wine.
Everyone passed the wine glasses around, until everyone had a glass of wine in their hands and they all raised their glasses together: "Happy, happy!"
It's not a special day, we are already familiar with each other, there aren't so many words of honor, it's enough for everyone to get together and have fun.
"Chu Xuan, I have always had a question, why did Sister Hua take you away from Huayi back then?" Wu Jin put down his wine glass and took a bite of the big ribs with cumin. This was his favorite among all Liu Xiaoli's dishes.
He had never thought about this problem at first, but when he saw Chu Xuan answering Wang Jinhua's call just now, he suddenly remembered this question in the past.
At that time, Wang Jinhua led a large number of artists to leave Huayi, which was quite a sensation in the industry.
Although not many netizens paid attention, everyone in the industry, from big bosses to artists, were shocked.
A number of first- and second-tier stars were taken away from the number one domestic entertainment company. Can this kind of thing happen?
It’s just that Huayi and Wang Jinhua never mentioned this matter, nor were they interviewed by the media about the matter. In the end, as time went by, the matter went away.
Now that he suddenly remembered this incident, and with Chu Xuan as the person involved, Wu Jin wanted to know the answer to the incident that year, mainly because he was too curious.
Friends, including Liu Xiaoli, would feel embarrassed if Wu Jin asked this question when they were not familiar with Wu Jin.
Such private questions can be asked without fear that Chu Xuan won't want to say them at all, which will cause some estrangement between the two parties.
But they now know Wu Jin very well. He is a pure and straight-tempered person who says whatever he says and never hides his thoughts.
Based on this understanding, everyone did not take it seriously when Wu Jin asked such a question. They also looked at Chu Xuan with curious eyes. They also wanted to hear this story.
"Do you know Teacher Du Xian?" Although Chu Xuan didn't expect Wu Jin to ask this question suddenly, he didn't mind. It wasn't a state secret, and there was nothing illegal or criminal. There was nothing he couldn't talk about.
Teacher Du Xian?...Everyone looks at me and I look at you, everyone is unfamiliar with this name.
"The famous Mrs. Chen." Liu Xiaoli took a bite and answered everyone's questions.
Everyone was stunned. Chen Daoming’s wife, Teacher Du Xian?
Who is Do Hyun?
What does it have to do with Sister Hua asked by Wu Jin?
They were confused.
Chu Xuan lowered his head and took a sip of food, then raised his head and smiled at them: "We have nothing to talk about now, right? Then I will tell you interesting stories about these three big guys, which are also closely related to Wu Jin's questions."
"Quick, quick, quick." Cai Shaofen was full of interest, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, not eating any more: "I like to listen to stories the most, especially stories about big guys."
"I like it too." Sun Li and Xie Nan were also very interested.
Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, mother and daughter, smiled slightly. They also knew what Chu Xuan was going to say. Seeing that everyone was so interested, they followed along and listened.
"In the 1970s, Teacher Du Xian's father was a professor at Tsinghua University, and his mother, uncles, and grandparents all worked in cultural-related departments. This family came from a purely scholarly family, not an ordinary scholarly family," Chu Xuan said.
.
The friends nodded. In that era, such a family could only be said to be outstanding. No capital, capital, or movie studios were enough to be seen in front of such a family. It was indeed not an ordinary scholarly family, but this was not the same as Sister Hua.
what is the relationship?
They were filled with curiosity and continued to listen to Chu Xuan's story.
"Under the influence of such a family, Teacher Du Xian also followed the cultural route and eventually joined CCTV as a host and engaged in opera broadcasting." Chu Xuan ate his food.
Everyone knows that the field of broadcasting at that time was very shallow, with equal emphasis on opera and songs. Opera contained a deeper cultural heritage. It was a normal choice for Du Xian, who came from a scholarly family, to engage in opera instead of singing.
"The culture of opera is very strong in Tianjin. By chance, teacher Du Xian went to Tianjin to visit major opera houses, and he happened to meet teacher Chen Daoming who was also visiting to study opera." Chu Xuan said.
Xie Nan's eyes lit up: "Is this the beginning of the love affair between the two teachers?"
"Listen to me." Chu Xuan smiled, put down his chopsticks and said, "Teacher Chen Daoming was just a student at Tianjin Institute of Humanities at the time. He didn't want to do this."
Everyone raised their eyebrows. Chen Daoming originally didn't want to take the artistic route?
Chu Xuan continued: "Because there was still one spot left in the enrollment at that time, the admissions office assigned tasks to the students in order to complete the tasks. One of the students had friends with Teacher Chen Daoming, so his friends forced him to join."
"Pfft!" Deng Chao inadvertently sprayed the rice, but luckily it didn't stain the dishes on the table.
"No way..." Sun Li covered her mouth, overjoyed: "Is it so funny?"
Friends, it is incredible that Chen Daoming, who is now successful and famous, did not expect that his starting point was so magical.
"Really." Chu Xuan picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and said: "Teacher Chen Daofeng's family is engaged in traditional Chinese medicine. In that era of traditional thinking, if you don't learn the things that are passed down from family to cure diseases and save people, it will have nothing to do with the family business.
His family would not approve of irrelevant art."
Everyone nodded and continued to listen to Chu Xuan.
"Teacher Chen Daoming and Teacher Du Xian fell in love at first sight, but at that time, those who engaged in stage dramas were considered low-class actors in the eyes of educated people. This relationship has been criticized by Teacher Du Xian's family."
"After being shocked and getting to know Teacher Du Xian's family, Teacher Chen Daoming began to take art seriously. After graduating from Tianjin People's Art, 23-year-old Teacher Chen Daoming entered the Chinese Opera Department in 1978 to prepare for the entrance examination.
Entertainment."
"Ah?" Cai Shaofen said in surprise: "Did you enter the entertainment industry because of this?"
She knew that Chen Daoming entered the entertainment industry, which was a fact now, but she was confused about the reason why Chen Daoming entered the entertainment industry.
You were hit by the girl’s family, you felt how powerful the girl’s family was, and then you entered the entertainment industry? Can you prove anything by joining the entertainment industry?
"Teacher Chen Daoming has no background or connections in the cultural industry. The entertainment industry is the field closest to the cultural circle. In addition, he has several years of study foundation in Tianjin People's Art, so he wants to further study acting and enter the entertainment industry."
"His purpose in entering the entertainment industry is different from 99% of people."
"Others become famous for the sake of money, and they hang out for the sake of being famous; he became famous to make friends with more people in the cultural circle, and he used the entertainment industry to enter the cultural industry in order to make himself worthy of Teacher Du Xian."
Cai Shaofen seemed to understand but couldn't understand the specific meaning of Chu Xuan's expression.
Chu Xuan looked at her and said: "In 1988, under the recommendation of Teacher Du Xian, Teacher Chen Daoming starred in "The Last Emperor". He was at the peak of his debut, and then his subsequent route was completely different from that of ordinary stars."
"First, he was a national first-class actor, then a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, then a national outstanding film performing artist, and then a national representative of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, a national senior official organization."
"Last year, he was commended as one of the country's 'four batches' of talents, and then became a director of the National Association for the Promotion of Culture."
"This year I am a member of the National Television Arts Association and a candidate for chairman of the National Film Association."
The friends' eyes widened. In their hearts, Chen Daoming was just a respected artist, nothing more.
I never expected that Teacher Chen Daoming would be so powerful?
Chu Xuan smiled slightly: "How many actors started working in the entertainment industry after hanging around? So the purpose of Teacher Chen Daoming entering the entertainment industry is to prove himself and to make himself worthy of Teacher Du Xian.
"
"Now the big boss in Teacher Du Xian's family has nothing to say about Teacher Chen Daoming. Who wouldn't say that Teacher Chen Daoming is an actor if he doesn't give him a thumbs up?"
"Before 2004, Teacher Chen Daoming went to Teacher Du Xian's house to celebrate the New Year and never stayed overnight."
"That year during the Chinese New Year, Teacher Chen Daoming was retained by the boss of Teacher Du Xian's family for the first time."
"For this reason, it took Teacher Chen Daoming twenty-six years from the time he entered the Chinese Opera to finally impress Teacher Du Xian and his family."
"Awesome!" Deng Chao shook his head, his face full of admiration.
"This is too strong." Wu Jin sighed, with admiration in his eyes.
Even if he is in the entertainment industry, he still doesn't know many things. What's more, the route Chen Daoming takes is so unique that it is difficult for some things to be exposed by the media.
What convinced them the most was that Chen Daoming persisted in this relationship for twenty-six years. How many men can do this?
Chu Xuan took a bite of the dish and while chewing it, he joked: "To a certain extent, Teacher Chen Daoming is a love brain."
Everyone was startled, they didn't dare to say this.
Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan and teased: "Do you dare to say this to Teacher Chen Daoming?"
"I don't dare." Chu Xuan shook his head: "But it's true, any normal man would be daunted by a family like Teacher Du Xian's."
"You tell me, if you are blocked by capital, you can turn around with another capital. If you are blocked by such a family, you should not be involved in the entertainment and cultural circles in this life."
"Teacher Chen Daoming did the opposite and wanted to enter the entertainment industry. He wanted to start as an actor who was looked down upon by the woman's family. In the end, it took him 26 years to get slapped in the face."
"What does this mean? It means that Teacher Chen Daoming truly loves Teacher Du Xian and is working hard for the further happiness of both parties. Isn't this love brain?"
The friends smiled and nodded in approval.
This was the first time they heard the name Du Xian, and it was also the first time they knew the story of this couple. Everyone admired the fact that they could maintain their relationship for nearly thirty years despite such a huge class gap.
And envious.
But Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and then at Chu Xuan: "Don't laugh, you guys are the same."
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter burst out immediately.
As good friends of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, I naturally understand the relationship between the two, and I also know that everything they do in their careers is for the continuation of this relationship.
To be continued...
