Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

"I was originally planning to have a litter of pups with a female cat from Yu Qian's family!"

"Yu Qian rejected it!"

"Hehe, that's true!"

"Who knew that a month later, all four of his female dogs were pregnant, and a check revealed that it was all Zhang Ze's male dog's doing!"

"Yu Qian was so angry that he grabbed a stick and went next door to cause trouble for Zhang Ze!"

"This is infuriating!"

"Zhang Ze~ You come out here right now! Quickly put your dog on a leash, or my house will be in chaos!" Guo Degang imitated Yu Qian in a high-pitched voice, making everyone laugh.

"I'm going to break its legs!"

Three months later, Teacher Yu looked at the puppies scattered all over the floor and was filled with worry!

"Of course I'm worried! More than thirty of them, just looking at them gives me a headache."

"There's nothing I can do about it! Once they're born, we have to raise them!"

"That's right, the child is innocent!" Yu Qian nodded.

"As everyone knows, Teacher Yu likes to drink a little alcohol."

"Yes"

"Whenever Teacher Yu eats, these little puppies gather under his table and wait."

"Yes"

"After Teacher Yu finished gnawing on the bone, his mouth was covered in oil! He threw the bone on the ground, and these little puppies swarmed around him."

"Teacher Yu casually picked one up and wiped some oil on his lips!"

"Screw you! That's so mean! I'd use a dog to wipe my mouth, is that even acceptable?"

After Guo Degang finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter again.

The two began to perform with great enthusiasm, and the crosstalk they were going to tell today was called "I Pick Up the Dog to Wipe Its Mouth".

At first, everyone thought Guo Degang was telling a joke, but he unexpectedly got into the story without leaving a trace.

His mastery of crosstalk is truly remarkable.

Twenty minutes later, the two finished their crosstalk performance and returned backstage.

Upon arriving backstage, Guo Degang chuckled and said to Guo Qilin, "Go and invite your Uncle Ze and Aunt Zeng Lai to the backstage area."

Guo Qilin, having received instructions, ran out excitedly.

Guo Degang and Zeng Lai are only 3 years apart in age; they are the same age.

He and Zeng Lai have known each other for over a decade, while Zhang Ze and Yu Qian are also very close.

The couple has a real connection with Deyun Society.

"Uncle, Aunt, my father would like to invite you two to come backstage for a chat!" Guo Qilin respectfully invited the two of them.

The couple smiled and got up, then went backstage with Dalinzi.

The young crosstalk performers backstage, including "Uncle Ze" and "Auntie Ze," greeted the two very respectfully.

The rule of Deyun Society is that there are no seniority on stage, but rules must be followed off stage.

This red line has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Deyun Society members, and no one dares to disobey it.

Back then, Zhang Helun was suspended from performing for a week simply because he subconsciously said "I didn't" to a teacher.

Since they were being treated with respect, Zhang Ze and Zeng Lai couldn't be rude, so they greeted the young actors politely.

Upon arriving backstage, Guo Degang and Yu Qian sat in chairs, while the other disciples stood serving tea and water.

Guo Degang was very happy that the two of them came to support him.

He doesn't fit in with mainstream crosstalk, but he's quite close to people in the entertainment industry.

Deyun Club performances are usually quite long, with each program lasting more than twenty minutes. The couple chatted with Guo Degang and Yu Qian backstage for more than an hour before the show ended.

It was already past 10 p.m., and Zhang Zheli was also tired, so the family went home directly from backstage!

The story of Zhang Ze and his family going to see a Deyun Club crosstalk performance, and Zhang Ze's son running onto the stage, was posted online by netizens.

They made it onto several trending topics, giving Deyun Club and Zhang Ze and his wife considerable exposure and bringing them a lot of benefits!

After returning from Tianjin, the two rested at home for two days before continuing their work on promotional events.

On July 12, 2018, Zhang Ze received an unexpected audition invitation.

The production company invited him to audition for the role of Zhu Zhanji in "Ming Dynasty".

Who is Zhu Zhanji? He was the eldest grandson of Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) of the Ming Dynasty, and was deeply loved by Emperor Yongle!

Of course, he also had another identity: the biological father of Zhu Qizhen, the war god of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Zhanji was known as the "Hexagonal Warrior" of the Ming Dynasty and was a very good and wise ruler.

His only flaw was his untimely death; he died too young! This prevented him from raising his son.

If he had lived another twenty years, the Tumu Crisis would not have happened in the Ming Dynasty!

The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that Zhang Ze greatly admired!

He admired the fortitude of the Ming Dynasty.

No marriage alliances, no tributes; the emperor guards the nation's gates, the monarch dies for the state!

That day, Zhang Ze arrived in Hengdian with his assistant to audition for a role.

He rarely appears in period historical dramas.

Surprisingly, he looked quite handsome when he put on Ming Dynasty clothing!

"It looks amazing! Teacher Zhang Ze looks exactly like the Zhu Zhanji I imagined!"

Director Zhang Ting clapped and applauded with great joy!

After the audition, the director decided to cast Zhang Ze in the role.

The two sides then discussed issues such as scheduling and salary.

"Director Zhang, may I ask who the other emperors are who play the main characters in this drama?"

"Zhu Di was Wang Xueqi, Zhu Gaochi was Liang Guanhua, and your son Zhu Qizhen was Zhang Yixing!"

"Zhang Yixing?" Zhang Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that this young heartthrob would act in such a historical drama, and as an emperor with a bad reputation at that.

But then he smiled to himself.

What a coincidence!

Zhang Jiashuai, I finally got to play your father!

"Who is the female lead?"

"Sun Ruowei is Tang Wei, and Hu Shanxiang is Deng Jiajia."

Zhang Ze nodded. These actors were all quite good, so he felt relieved.

Since returning from the film set, Zhang Ze has hardly gone out to attend any events.

He bought a set of "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty" and "The Veritable Records of the Ming Dynasty," intending to study the materials about the Ming Dynasty carefully.

This is his first time acting in a historical drama and his first time playing an emperor, so he definitely has to take it very seriously.

"Why did you suddenly buy so many books?" Zeng Lai asked, somewhat surprised.

The "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" series alone has seven books, and Zhang Ze was carrying a whole stack of them!

"I'm going to be acting in a Ming Dynasty TV series, so I should buy more books to read!"

Zeng Lai chuckled to himself from the side.

"Luckily, the director didn't cast you in a fantasy film, otherwise you'd probably be studying several cultivation manuals!"

"Haha..." Zhang Ze found his wife's teasing amusing.

"That might be why my destiny with immortals hasn't come yet. Maybe one day I'll study the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, and a director will invite me to play a deity!"

Zeng Lai stopped joking with him.

Zhang Ze sat on the balcony and opened a book to read!

His name was Zhu Chongba, his profession was emperor, and his favorite color was yellow!

Zhang Ze was amused by the humorous writing style after reading just the beginning!

Time flies, and it's time for the TV series "Ming Dynasty" to start filming.

Hengdian World Studios

The main actors of the film crew gathered together.

Wang Xueqi is 72 years old this year, but he looks and feels like he is only 60.

Some people are born with the air of an emperor, their presence commanding respect without a hint of anger.

Chen Baoguo and Chen Daoming are both very famous for playing emperors.

Wang Xueqi has played soldiers and big bosses many times before, but this is his first time playing an emperor.
