Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Beijing, 301 Hospital!

Wang Fei looked at his mother's medical record and felt like crying but had no tears.

Last night, she listened to Yang Ye's words and went back to ask her mother if she was hiding something from her.

Xia Guiying refused to admit it at first, so Wang Fei repeated what Yang Ye had said.

"He is a master of fighting. If he says you are enduring pain, then it must be so. What happened to you?"

Xia Guiying didn't expect that Yang Ye had such sharp eyes, so she had to tell the truth.

It turned out that she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, but her daughter's career was at a critical rising stage. She didn't want her daughter to be distracted, so she concealed it and went to the hospital for chemotherapy.

Some time ago, cancer cells spread and the disease relapsed. She planned to be hospitalized, but Wang Fei suddenly returned to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Xia Guiying hoped that her daughter could have a good performance on the Spring Festival Gala, so she postponed going to the hospital and pretended that nothing was wrong.

If Yang Ye hadn't found out, she didn't know how long she would have kept it a secret.

After Wang Fei arranged for his mother's hospitalization, he called his father and brother to inform them of his mother's condition.

Then, he found a deserted place in the hospital garden, sat alone in the cold wind, and smoked silently.

She didn't know her own mother was sick, but Yang Ye, an outsider, saw it.

The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself and felt that she was unfilial.

I also thought that my mother's cancer was in the late stage and no medicine could cure it. She would not live long.

I became more and more heartbroken and couldn't help but cry out loud.

In places like hospitals, people are sad and crying every day because of their loved ones' illnesses.

Her situation is very common, so no one cares.

She cried for a while, and then her tears stopped.

Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Afei, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Fei looked up in surprise and saw Yang Ye's familiar face.

She couldn't stop crying again, she hugged Yang Ye, lay in his arms, and cried loudly.

"My mom...she has cancer!"

Yang Ye knew it a long time ago, and he had intentionally reminded Wang Fei.

The sudden death of her mother was a regret for Wang Fei, and she blamed herself for it for a long time.

As a friend, Yang Ye felt it necessary to tell her so that she could show filial piety to her mother in her last days.

Yang Ye gently stroked Wang Fei's back to calm her down. After a long while, she finally calmed down.

Yang Ye called the bodyguard in the distance and asked him to buy a fruit basket. Then he said to Wang Fei, "It's too cold here. Go inside. Your mother needs someone to take care of her. Don't let her get sick again."

"Ok!"

Yang Ye dragged Wang Fei into the hospital, and soon the bodyguard came running over with a fruit basket.

Yang Ye took the fruit basket and said to Wang Fei: "I'll go see your mother!"

Wang Fei nodded, led the way, and went to the ward where his mother was staying.

Xia Guiying was not angry that Yang Ye could tell that she was sick and told Wang Fei about her condition.

She just felt a little regretful. This man was very considerate and cared a lot about Wang Fei.

It's a pity that he's already married. Otherwise, I'd be able to die peacefully with him taking care of my daughter.

……

Wang Fei invited Yang Ye to dinner at a restaurant near the 301 Hospital.

She was now calm and raised her glass to Yang Ye: "Thank you, otherwise..."

Yang Ye did not take credit for it. He clinked glasses with her and said, "Take good care of your mother during this time and put your work aside for now."

Wang Fei hummed, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why are you in the hospital?"

Yang Ye said: "Visiting the patients, but I didn't expect you to come to this hospital."

Wang Fei had to use her connections to arrange for her mother to be hospitalized in the 301 Hospital. She asked, "So you came to Beijing to visit a patient?"

Yang Ye took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "Well, he likes me to chat with him."

"You didn't spend the Spring Festival at home, so you must be a very important person."

Yang Ye hummed, but said no more. Wang Fei was a smart man, so he didn't ask any more questions.

For the next few days, Wang Fei stayed in the hospital to take care of his mother.

She would see Yang Ye from time to time, so the two of them would often eat, drink and chat together.

Wang Fei was in a very low mood because of her mother's illness. During this period, Yang Ye gave her a lot of comfort.

That day, the two were having dinner at Maxim's restaurant when two people suddenly walked in from outside.

Yang Ye saw this and stood up to greet the two people: "Mr. Ping, Sister Qiong Yao, why did you come to the capital?"

The two were very surprised to see Yang Ye. Qiong Yao asked, "Aye, you are also in the capital?"

Yang Ye smiled and said, "I came here for something, come sit together!"

"Okay!"

The two of them sat down happily, and Yang Ye introduced them to each other.

Qiong Yao is a top romance writer, and Wang Fei is the queen of the Chinese pop music scene. Both of them have heard of their names for a long time, but this is their first formal meeting, and they praised each other a lot.

After ordering the dishes and chatting while eating, Yang Ye realized that the old couple came to Beijing to travel during the Spring Festival.

Speaking of which, Yang Ye actually admired Qiong Yao's lover Ping Xintao quite a lot.

This old guy is very good at PUA, with girls everywhere and living off women. He is simply a role model of a man.

Before Ping Xintao met Qiong Yao, he was the president of Crown Publishing, which sounds very impressive.

In fact, there are only two people in Crown Publishing, him and his wife Lin Wanzhen, and it is basically a shell company.

Crown Publishing had very poor performance, was spending more than it earned, was heavily in debt, and could go bankrupt at any time.

However, as luck would have it, Qiong Yao actually sent her debut novel "Outside the Window" to Crown Publishing.

When Ping Xintao saw it, he was like, wow, this is a treasure. He immediately wrote back to Qiong Yao, encouraging her to continue writing.

Then they quickly published "Outside the Window", which became an instant hit and brought the publishing house back to life.

Next, Ping Xintao will face a fatal problem.

Qiong Yao became a rising star in Taiwan's literary world, and all publishing houses were eyeing her.

Compared with those powerful big publishing houses, Crown is nothing.

So, how does Ping Xintao keep Qiong Yao, this cash cow?
Ping Xintao’s answer was just two words: love!
He decided to date Qiong Yao!
As long as he can get Qiong Yao, his second half of life will be secure!

His wife Lin Wanzhen had to accept this matter whether she was willing or not.

Because their family's wealth and glory depended on Qiong Yao, Ping Xintao accompanied Qiong Yao to watch the stars and the moon, talked about poetry and songs and life ideals, and then took Qiong Yao to bed.

Qiong Yao picked up her bag and checked in: "I'm here to join you!"

There is a very double-standard topic on the Internet in later generations.

If you ask a woman whether she hates the mistress, she will definitely hate it.

But what if the mistress gives this woman 200,000 yuan every month?
Then the woman will immediately stop hating it and will even say: I can take care of the mistress during her confinement.

This is the case with Lin Wanzhen and Qiong Yao. Qiong Yao spent a lot of money, and Lin Wanzhen became sisters with Qiong Yao. The two were even photographed shopping together.

The happiest one here is Ping Xintao. He wants both, having two wives as one husband and enjoying the happiness of having two wives, achieving every man's dream.

He even uses the mistress's money to support his wife and children.

What is a winner in life? What is a freeloader? What is a role model for men?

Compared with Ping Xintao, Yang Ye is just a loser, nothing!

Yang Ye spends money to support women, how can he compare to Ping Xintao who lets women spend money to support his entire family?
Of course, Qiong Yao was not willing to continue like this, and after a few years, she finally proposed a breakup, which was actually a forced marriage.

However, Ping Xintao's response was very clever. He agreed to break up, but hoped to go on a final trip with Qiong Yao.

During the journey, Ping Xintao drove the car straight towards the cliff and braked at the last moment.

After escaping death, the two hugged each other and cried in the carriage.

The power of this move lies in the fact that Ping Xintao did not seek death himself, but dragged Qiong Yao to commit suicide together for love.

Most people might think, what a psycho, if you want to die just die by yourself, why drag me into it.

But for Qiong Yao, living together and dying together, this is so fucking romantic!

Qiong Yao was subdued by Ping Xintao in one move and stopped making a fuss about breaking up.

However, Ping Xintao's trick of having two wives could no longer be continued, so he had to settle for the next best thing, divorced his wife, and married Qiong Yao.

After Ping Xintao died, he left a will, leaving all his property to the children he and Lin Wanzhen had.

For the three children born to Ping Xintao and Lin Wanzhen: if their father had not cheated on his wife and had an affair with a mistress, they would most likely have to be low-class losers and live a mediocre life.

Just because their fathers cheated on their wives, they became billionaires and can just lie down and enjoy their lives.

So, when they grow up, they spend their stepmother's money to enjoy life, while at the same time feeling sorry for their biological mother. Isn't this another form of having too much and living off her?
Yang Ye looked at the man in front of him, the role model and life idol, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Fei saw Yang Ye suddenly in a daze and waved his hand in front of him.

Yang Ye came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I was distracted!"

He suddenly remembered that it was because of this trip that Qiong Yao wrote "My Fair Princess", so he asked:
"Sister Qiong Yao must have visited many places of interest during her visit to Beijing. I wonder if she has any inspiration to write a masterpiece?"

Qiong Yao said, "Come to think of it, it really exists. There is a princess' tomb outside Fuxingmen. According to folklore, a Han princess is buried there. I think it would be quite interesting if I could develop this folklore and write a novel about it."

Yang Yexin said, "Hey, the most popular TV series in Asian TV history is coming, we can grab some!"

As mentioned earlier, one of the reasons for the proliferation of Qing Dynasty palace dramas is that this stuff can be fabricated and all kinds of jokes. If it is changed into a Ming Dynasty palace drama, there is a high probability that it will be apologized.

Yang Ye said: "Interesting, is there any clue to the story?"

Qiong Yao said: "We have basically got the outline of the story."

Ping Xintao saw that Yang Ye was interested in Qiong Yao's story, so he said to Qiong Yao: "Aye is also a literary master, why don't you tell it and we can discuss it together."

Yang Ye's novels were published in Taiwan and were represented by Crown Publishing, which was introduced by Qiong Yao and her husband to Lin Qingxia.

Moreover, because of Lin Qingxia's relationship, the old couple always addressed Yang Ye by his name to show their affection, instead of calling him Sir, Sir Yang, Mr. Yang, etc.

Qiong Yao also highly recognized Yang Ye's writing skills, so she began to talk about it.

"During the Qianlong reign, a girl named Ziwei came to the capital with her maid Jinsuo to look for her relatives..."

The story told by Qiong Yao is based on the novel version of "My Fair Princess", which is different from the TV version of "My Fair Princess".

It is also a Qiong Yao-style love story of love to the point of death.

Ziwei is the heroine, Princess Huanzhu, and Xiaoyanzi is only the second female lead.

Initially, when "My Fair Princess" started filming, it was decided that Taiwanese actress Lin Xinru would play the leading female role, Ziwei, and mainlander Zhao Ritian would play the second female role, Xiaoyanzi.

Then why after "My Fair Princess" was broadcast, Zhao Ritian's Xiaoyanzi became the female lead, while Lin Xinru's Xia Ziwei became the second female lead?
This is because when director Sun Shupei was filming "My Fair Princess", he distorted Qiong Yao's script based on his own understanding and promoted Xiaoyanzi to the female lead.

Sun Shupei believes that Xiaoyanzi is the female version of Sun Wukong, who is the most popular story character in the Chinese world.

Therefore, Xiaoyanzi should be promoted to the female lead, and she should be filmed as Sun Wukong, with her expressions made as exaggerated as possible.

After the novel "My Fair Princess" was published, there was not much response, and Qiong Yao did not take the TV version of "My Fair Princess" seriously. Her energy at the time was focused on a big drama "Tears in Heaven".

This can be seen from the scale of production and the team lineup.

The director of "Tears in Heaven" is Qiong Yao's favorite director Li Ping, and the starring actors are Jiao Enjun, Athena Chu, Jiang Qinqin, and Tuo Zonghua, bringing together a star lineup from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

As for "My Fair Princess", director Sun Shupei used to be a martial arts director, and this is his first time holding the director's baton.

The three sisters of Shufangzhai are all newcomers. Although two of them are members of the Little Tigers, they have actually passed their prime a long time ago.

Su Youpeng was only paid NT$200,000 for his role in "My Fair Princess". He was unwilling and felt very miserable.

When the TV series was broadcast, the leading actor was written as Zhang Tielin.

The investment scale of "My Fair Princess" was also very small, and the costumes and makeup were very cheap. Compared with "Tears in Heaven", it was nothing.

Even Qiong Yao's original intention to film "My Fair Princess" was that Ouyang Changlin from Mango TV came to her several times to seek cooperation. She had no choice but to hand over the novel she had just written.

Since Qiong Yao didn't take "My Fair Princess" seriously at all, she gave Sun Shupei the greatest authority invisibly.

As a result, Sun Shupei turned a romance drama into a martial arts comedy.

If the audience pays attention, they will find that some of Xiaoyanzi's expressions are very similar to Monkey King, because this was Sun Shupei's request.

Zhao Ritian was so exhausted from acting that she felt like she had joined a crappy crew. How could she act like this? Then she chose to run away.

Other people in the crew were also very dissatisfied with Sun Shupei, and some even thought he was crazy, so they went to Qiong Yao to complain.

By the time Qiong Yao finished filming "Tears in Heaven" and came to seek justice, most of the film had been shot and the money had been almost spent, so she had no choice but to make the best of it. That's what happened.

Unexpectedly, after it was broadcast, the ratings skyrocketed and it became the most popular Qiong Yao drama in history. Even Qiong Yao herself was stunned!

A group of leading actors also became famous, and Zhao Ritian became the king of traffic.

However, deep down, Qiong Yao was actually resistant to it and she did not like this drama.

Because the first part was so popular and they wanted to make money with the second part, she tried to pull back and came up with the sad drama of "You are the wind and I am the sand".

The director was also replaced by his favorite actor Li Ping, and Sun Shupei was only responsible for the martial arts part in the second part.

The result is that Xiaoyanzi's character was ruined.

The first part is about a female version of Sun Wukong who is fearless and defies the rules of the world.

In the second part, he becomes an annoying troublemaker.

The third part also changes the actors, which makes it even more worthless. (End of this chapter)
