From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

Wang Xuan found Shen Zhe and Chen Kai and asked them to recommend actors who knew kung fu in the industry and wanted to have real kung fu.

As a result, Shen Zhe recommended three Shaolin Temple traitors: Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu. In Shen Zhe's words, among the martial arts stars, these three have the cleanest and neatest movements and are very, very entertaining to watch.

Wang Xuan shook his head: "These three are not good, there is something wrong with their character."

"Is there something wrong with your character?" Shen Zhe and Chen Kai were both stunned for a moment.

Wang Xuan told Shen Zhe and Chen Kai what Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu had done.

"...I'm going? Is there such a thing?"

"If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have known that Li Dawei and the others were such people. The Shaolin Temple trained them, and they got out. They have been pretending to be Shaolin lay disciples in the circle, and they actually even gave back to the Shaolin Temple.

They refused."

No wonder Shen Zhe and Chen Kai were surprised. With Jiang Long, Li Dawei and Wang Hu's status in martial arts action movies, it is really easy for them to give back to the Shaolin Temple. Even if each of them spends 1 million to support the development of the Shaolin Temple, it will be nothing more.

It was a matter of moving a finger, but in the end they were not even willing to do this.

Crows still know how to feed back. These three people are really worse than crows.

"Really? I won't want such a white-eyed wolf." Wang Xuan said. Not only would he not want it, but if he met him, Wang Xuan would not be stingy about stepping on him.

"I do have a candidate, but this person was involved in some troubles before and has been out of sight for nearly ten years." Chen Kai said.

"Isn't it Cao Shaoqin that Old Chen is talking about?" Shen Zhe asked.

"Yes, it's Cao Shaoqin." Chen Kai nodded. Before Wang Xuan could ask, Chen Kai told Cao Shaoqin's story one by one.

According to Chen Kai, Cao Shaoqin became famous at a young age and became a famous star player since he was a child.

At the age of 18, he starred in "Turn Hands to Cloud" and "The Myth of Rivers and Lakes", which became popular all over the country. He was unparalleled in the martial arts film and television circles. Unexpectedly, at the age of 20, Cao Shaoqin suddenly had an accident during a filming.

Fell from a high altitude.

The injury was serious, and Cao Shaoqin had to go abroad for medical treatment, otherwise he would not be able to film movies later. But what he didn't expect was that when he asked his father for money for medical treatment, Cao's father said directly that he had no money.

Cao Shaoqin was stunned at the time. He did not hire an agent. His father was his agent and was in charge of all Cao Shaoqin's wealth. The salary was 10 million, and Cao Shaoqin could keep at most 500,000 for daily expenses, and the rest was kept by his father.

.

Growing up, he filmed many movies and TV series, plus commercial performances and endorsements. It was no problem to earn two to three hundred million. But when he asked his father for 100 million, his father actually said he had no money.

How can this be?

His father actually advised Cao Shaoqin not to go abroad because if the treatment could not be cured, the money would be lost. Isn’t that an injustice?

Cao Shaoqin was shocked again. He fell from a high altitude. If he didn't go abroad for treatment, he would probably be disabled for life. His father actually advised him not to receive treatment? Is it because he was afraid of spending money?

Is this human language?

Is this something a father can say?

He didn't spend the family's money, he earned it himself.

This was the first time Cao Shaoqin saw his father's ugly true face.

Cao Shaoqin, who was lying in the hospital bed at that time, was so desperate that he could only borrow money from friends, and finally managed to collect enough money for treatment. The treatment was very successful, but what made him even more unbelievable was that when he came back from abroad for recuperation a few months later

, everything changed. When he returned home, he found that the owner of the house had changed. It turned out that his father had sold the mansion he bought while he was recuperating abroad.

When he came to another mansion he bought, he found that the owner of that mansion had also changed, but this time the new owner was his brother. Cao's father lived with his brother.

Cao's father directly transferred his mansion to the name of Cao Shaoqin's brother. Cao Shaoqin was not allowed to enter the house even if he wanted to. Cao's father also accused Cao Shaoqin of abandoning his adoptive parents to the media and asked him to move out of the mansion and pay an annual alimony of 1.5 million.

Cao Shaoqin suddenly became the target of public criticism, and people called him an unfilial son. Faced with overwhelming accusations and abuses, Cao Shaoqin had no choice but to stand up and clarify that the mansion where his father and his brother lived was originally his, and it was his father who transferred the mansion to his brother's name.

.

In addition, his father also sold his other mansion and transferred all his savings. The cost of his treatment abroad was borrowed from friends in the circle.

Cao Shaoqin originally wanted to clarify the facts and calm public opinion, but he did not expect to anger his father even more.

Cao's father held a press conference and tearfully accused Cao Shaoqin of being unfilial. He also slandered Cao Shaoqin's chaotic private life and even spread rumors that he smoked contraband. In order to support his statement, Cao's father also sent many newspapers and media haggard and bare-faced photos of Cao Shaoqin to prove what he said.

Not empty.

As soon as this incident came out, the public was in an uproar, and Cao Shaoqin's idol image collapsed. Advertising endorsements were removed one after another, no one approached him for filming, and he will also face a series of liquidated damages.

Even though Cao Shaoqin later held a press conference and showed all the negative test reports to the media to prove his innocence, the company still hid it.

Cao Shaoqin once publicly stated that from now on, the relationship between father and son was over, and the money was enough for Cao's father to live a good life. However, what Cao Shaoqin did not expect was that Cao's father's more exciting performances were yet to come.

Three years later, Cao Shaoqin finally managed to escape from the company's hiding place. He had just received a major production. When he was about to sign the contract, Cao's father, who had squandered all his savings, asked him for alimony again. Cao Shaoqin avoided seeing him.

Then Cao's father started to perform again, crying in front of the media, accusing Cao Shaoqin of being unfilial and unwilling to fulfill his obligations as a son.

Who are the media? They are people who just watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously. They are people who see the popularity and take advantage of it. Most media don't care whether things are true or false, as long as they are popular.

With the help of the media, this incident directly hit the headlines. Cao Shaoqin had no choice but to agree to give Cao's father a house and monthly alimony, hoping that they would not continue to cause trouble.

But this incident brought Cao Shaoqin's career, which he had finally built, into a trough again. The big production didn't want him anymore. After that, he couldn't get any more roles. Now there is almost no such person in the industry.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's a perfect copy of Angela Chang." Wang Xuan sighed in his heart. Angela Chang was almost ruined by Zhang's mother, but later became famous again with "A Diao". And Cao Shaoqin was ruined by Cao's father.

But what Wang Xuan is more concerned about is whether Cao Shaoqin is qualified for the role of Nalan Yuanshu.

So Wang Xuan directly looked for Cao Shaoqin's previous masterpieces and watched them again. Not to mention, his martial arts skills are quite solid, the movements are clean and neat, and it is very enjoyable to watch. It just feels a bit complicated.

"How to contact this Cao Shaoqin?" Wang Xuan asked.

"No? Brother Xuan, you don't plan to use Cao Shaoqin, do you?" Chen Kai said.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Don't say goodbye? In fact, Cao Shaoqin also filmed two martial arts movies later, but they were all flopped. The audience didn't buy it anymore. The incident involving Cao's father had a great impact on him." Chen Kai said.

"It doesn't matter. If the truth is that Cao Shaoqin was tricked by Cao's father and Cao Shaoqin is a good character, as long as he is qualified for the role, it doesn't matter if I give him a chance. As for whether the audience will buy it or not, I don't need to worry about this for the movies I make, right?

?" Wang Xuan said.

Chen Kai thought so too.

Others don't ask Cao Shaoqin to film movies because Cao Shaoqin no longer has box office appeal. If he is allowed to participate, he may even encounter resistance from some audiences. But does Wang Xuan need to worry about this?

In the film and television dramas produced by Wang Xuan, the appeal has always been Wang Xuan himself, right?

"Cao Shaoqin must have never done those things, because from the beginning to the end, there has been no official action. All the films and TV series that Cao Shaoqin has participated in can still be watched," Shen Zhe said.

"That's enough. Please help me notify Cao Shaoqin to come over and audition." Wang Xuan said.

"This is a bit difficult... Mr. Wang doesn't know something. Cao Shaoqin's contract with the company has expired, and he hasn't shown up for a long time now," Shen Zhe said.

"That's better." Wang Xuan said heartily. If Cao Shaoqin can play the role of Nalan Yuanshu, Wang Xuan will sign Cao Shaoqin to Tianhai. Tianhai is still in short supply of such actors.

But Chen Kai took over the matter.

He mobilized his contacts and finally found Cao Shaoqin two days later. The latter was performing acupuncture in a small place.

The martial arts superstar who became popular ten years ago is now reduced to a small local business performing acupuncture, which is also disappointing. It is good to earn several thousand yuan at a time with this kind of acupuncture.

Chen Kai went to find Cao Shaoqin personally.

When Cao Shaoqin learned that Wang Xuan actually invited him to audition, he was so shocked that he almost suspected that his ears were hallucinating.

After all, what kind of person is Wang Xuan?

The boss among the bosses! In today's entertainment industry, who can compare with Wang Xuan? Not even the superstar. He is a figure on a completely different level.

Wang Xuan is already invincible in the Chinese music world. In the piano world, Wang Xuan is one of the top ten pianists in the world. He conquered the world with just one song "Dream Wedding", one "Canon" and one "Croatian Rhapsody"

Enter the piano industry. In the film and television industry, Wang Xuan recently participated in "A Better Tomorrow", which won the highest box office in the Chinese film industry. The film and television dramas directed by Wang Xuan himself have become hits and become celebrities one after another.

actor.

In today's entertainment industry, who doesn't want to participate in Wang Xuan's film and television dramas?

As for him, he has such a bad reputation that there is no such person in the entertainment industry now, and he has been reduced to "street busking" to make a living. In the end, Wang Xuan actually invited him to audition. How could Cao Shaoqin dare to believe this?

If someone else came to him and said that Wang Xuan invited him to audition, he would definitely think that he was a liar. But now it is Chen Kai who comes to him. It is a very dreamy thing for Chen Kai to come to him. Even if he is at his peak

During this period, when meeting the current Chen Kai, everyone had to be respectful.

The movie "Farewell My Concubine" completely made Chen Kai a god. Now Chen Kai is enough to rank in the top five in the director world. Besides Wang Xuan, who else can make Chen Kai personally invite him?

"Did Teacher Wang Xuan really ask me to film a movie?" Cao Shaoqin confirmed.

"It's just for filming, it's up to you whether you can be selected." Chen Kai said, and after thinking about it, he added, "Cao Shaoqin, you'd better cherish this opportunity. I can tell you that in your current situation, besides us,

Mr. Wang, no one will use you, and no one dares to use you, not even me. Mr. Wang is your only chance to turn around."

"I understand, thank you, Teacher Chen Kai." Cao Shaoqin said.

There is no need for Chen Kai to remind Cao Shaoqin of his situation. In the past few years, how many people have come to ask for help and how many cold looks he has received.

However, no one is willing to use him, even if he has no lines, no one is willing to give him a role.

The warmth and warmth of human nature are vividly reflected in him.

Now Wang Xuan actually invited him to audition. How could he not cherish such an opportunity? After experiencing the popularity and earning tens of millions a year, who would be willing to perform on the street every day if possible?

Cao Shaoqin went home, packed up, and returned to Tianhai with Chen Kai. Then he went directly to Wang Xuan's office.

"Mr. Wang, I brought Cao Shaoqin back to you." Chen Kai said.

When there is no one around, he will call Wang Xuan, Brother Xuan. This is the treatment that only Li Tao and Zhu Xu have. And because he was kind to Wang Xuan in the past, he can also call him like this. But in front of others, whether he is Li Tao or Zhu Xu,

Xu, everyone has to call Wang Xuan Mr. Wang.

Cao Shaoqin quickly greeted Wang Xuan respectfully.

"Cao Shaoqin, right? He hasn't lost his kung fu in the past few years, right?" Wang Xuan asked.

"No. I practice every day. This is the skill I rely on to survive. I don't dare to relax." Cao Shaoqin said.

"That's fine. The role you are auditioning for this time requires very high kung fu skills." Wang Xuan said, "Oh, by the way, what kung fu skills do you know?"

"My master is Wing Chun, but I know many martial arts, such as Tongbei Quan, Mantis Fist, Drunken Fist, etc. I also know how to use swords, spears, swords and halberds." Cao Shaoqin said, he knew that now was not the time to be modest.

"Is there a four-door stick ceremony?" Wang Xuan asked.

"I have some experience, but I dare not say that I am proficient. But if it is just a performance, it should be fine." Cao Shaoqin said.

"Very good, you will improvise in a moment and have a fight scene with a four-door stick and a Shaolin stick. This is the content of your audition." Wang Xuan finished.

"Okay." Cao Shaoqin nodded.

A group of people came to the practice room.

Cao Shaoqin's opponent Li Ze has been waiting in the practice room for a long time.

After ten minutes of brewing, the fight between Cao Shaoqin and Li Ze began.

"You can let go of your hands and hit, it won't be a problem." Wang Xuan said to Cao Shaoqin. He had too much confidence in Li Ze. This is the first among the new generation of Shaolin disciples. He has no rivals in the Shaolin Temple for his whole life. Even Li Ze has no problem.

Lei Yan was highly praised by Li Ze. He said that if Li Ze let go of his hands and feet, even he would have to concentrate on it, and he would overturn if he was not careful.

"Yes, you don't have to hold back. It is said that you are a star player. You have been very good at fighting since you were very young. Show me some real skills. Don't be like the three useless people like Jiang Long, Li Dawei and Wang Hu.

Its name." Li Ze said.

What Wang Xuan didn't know was that during this period, Li Ze had already approached Jiang Long, Li Dawei and Wang Hu, and beat up these three white-eyed wolves.
