Actor: Thank you.

One of the biggest scams in the world is that "alcohol is the essence of grain, and the more you drink, the younger you become."

These are all just excuses to get drinks; don't believe them.

Just like the old smoker who would say to anyone who covered their nose, "Still covering your nose? I'm paying for my cigarettes, and I'm giving you guys secondhand smoke for free. You're getting a good deal."

These are all excuses that enthusiasts make for themselves.

How could you possibly get younger the more you drink?

The only chance to get younger by drinking is if two 40-year-olds drink together; 20 years later, one will be 60 and the other 20.

This is the only law for young people.

Brother Qian is the best proof.

Yu Qian, in his early twenties, was fair-skinned and delicate, with a face so plump it seemed like it could be pinched to reveal a lot of moisture.

Brother Qian, who is over 40 years old, looks tired, and his face is all wrinkled.

Even that young woman would say that Brother Qian's health is not as good as it used to be.

This is a clear case of excessive drinking.

This is because ethanol, a metabolite of alcohol, can interfere with cell repair.

Zhang Yuan drank quite a bit and smoked a lot when he was out socializing.

But he wasn't a heavy drinker.

A true connoisseur of liquor is someone who lives alone at home, sucking on iron nails, dipping pebbles in soy sauce, and drinking several kilograms of cheap liquor, even if it's just a bottle of baijiu that costs 3 yuan or less.

He rarely drinks alcohol at home unless he is entertaining guests.

Some people have trembling hands when they don't drink, but become calm after drinking. Many heavy drinkers use this as evidence to show that alcohol is a good thing and can cure diseases.

This is actually a symptom of alcohol dependence and alcoholic liver disease; withdrawal symptoms have already appeared.

At this point, irreversible damage has already occurred to the brain's nerves.

Zhang Yuan doesn't want to be old and walk with a trembling body.

But whether it's Yu Qian or Zhao Benshan.

These two top masters in the world of traditional performing arts are not like him.

Both of these teachers have a history of bringing alcohol onto the stage.

Calling them alcoholics is not an understatement at all.

So when Teacher Zhao drank with him, he kept track of the amount. They each drank less than 5 bottles, which was not enough.

Didn't they have 7 bottles and still go on stage to perform?
In addition, considering that Teacher Zhao had previously used the excuse of feeling unwell to avoid drinking, he thought that the other party was acting again.

He couldn't outdrink himself, so he pretended to be sick to save face.

It wasn't until someone yelled out that he realized something terrible was going to happen.

"Quickly, help him up." Xie Guangkun had been working with Teacher Zhao for many years.

Uncle Benshan wasn't feeling well just now and felt like he couldn't go on, so he called out to him.

At that moment, the dark-skinned middle-aged man came running over.

I'm so anxious!
"no!"

But Zhang Yuan quickly interrupted and stopped the other person.

"Teacher Zhao's condition is either a myocardial infarction or a cerebral thrombosis. He can't move around carelessly, or something serious could happen."

If a blood clot blocks the blood vessel, that's one thing, but if you move around recklessly and rupture a blood vessel, especially one in the heart or brain, then you're completely doomed.

Just now, someone shouted, "Zhang Yuan drank Zhao Benshan to death."

We can't let anything happen to Teacher Zhao, otherwise it won't be true.

I can't bear this responsibility.

He remembered that Zhao Benshan was going to face a calamity, but it shouldn't be now.

Zhang Yuan felt uneasy, realizing that his older brother had been having health problems for a while and it was bound to flare up sooner or later.

I got excited about seeing myself today and drank too much, which caused me to have an aroused reaction earlier than planned.

This is what they mean by "what is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be."

At this point, although he knew some massage and acupuncture techniques, he dared not use them at all.

This is a serious illness, not a minor injury.

And I drank quite a bit myself.

His urine is now 52 degrees Celsius, and his blood type is soy sauce flavored.

If you press it again and break it, it will be even more serious.

"Come, even though I'm an outsider."

"But I have experience in treating injuries."

"Shenyang, call an ambulance."

"Two more people, hold his head gently, so your master doesn't bump it."

"Someone, go and pay the bill first."

"Have someone guard the private room and don't let anyone in. Send a few more people downstairs to wait for the ambulance."

"Quickly, let's get moving!"

At this time, what people fear most is lacking a backbone and not knowing how to handle problems.

When you get busy, things get chaotic and you make things worse.

So he overstepped his authority and gave orders.

When celebrities get into trouble, it's different from when ordinary people get into trouble.

We can't make a big fuss or a big fuss, otherwise the paparazzi will arrive before the ambulance does.

That's why he sent people to guard the private room, preventing anyone from leaving easily and also preventing restaurant staff from coming in to join the fun.

"Listen to him." The other disciples were all stunned.

People in the performing arts are cunning and quick-witted; none of them are willing to submit to anyone else.

So after he finished speaking, no one moved.

It was only after Teacher Zhao spoke softly that the apprentices listened.

"Great..." Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

What others say is useless; a single word from the master gets everyone moving.

That prestige, that dominance.

That's how General Nian ended up.

That's why he's the local tyrant of the comedy world.

"Jianjun, come here." With his last bit of energy, Teacher Zhao pulled Xie Guangkun aside and began to give instructions.

Judging from his expression, Zhang Yuan sensed that he was entrusting his son to someone else.

"I don't know if I can make it through this round."

"No, Master." As soon as Teacher Zhao said this, Xie Guangkun broke down on the spot, his face contorted with tears.

"Listen to me, don't get agitated, let me finish speaking first."

"There's a card in my home safe."

"There's some savings inside, could you give it to Yufang for me?"

Zhang Yuan listened from the side. Teacher Zhao said that he had some savings, probably a hundred million yuan.

People who can afford to buy airplanes must have a considerable amount of savings.

The Yu Fang he mentioned was not his wife, but his eldest daughter with his ex-wife.

In the 1970s and 80s, Teacher Zhao was not yet the king of sketch comedy. He was just a half-grown boy who had not received much education and spent his days performing on the streets with his blind second uncle.

Rural people have a strong sense of marriage and starting a family, so someone introduced him to an unattractive woman to marry, as a way of living together.

Their relationship was just so-so to begin with, but after they became incredibly famous, it became even harder for them to get along.

However, the two broke up amicably, and at that time, Mr. Zhao handed over his car, house, and savings to his ex-wife.

But his ex-wife was stubborn and refused to accept his help. She went to work, from washing dishes to setting up a stall, and eventually opened her own restaurant and did well.

Although they divorced and he had two more children with his later partner, Teacher Zhao treated his eldest daughter very well and continued to give her money.

When I realized things were going to go wrong, the first person I thought of was my daughter.

Because I felt sorry for the mother and daughter, that they had suffered so much.

Moreover, Teacher Zhao originally had an older son, Yu Fang's younger brother, named Zhao Tiedan.

Just by hearing this name, you can tell it's a custom from rural Northeast China: a humble name makes a child easier to raise.

This child was born deaf and mute, and also suffered from rickets and heart disease, which is why he was given a humble name.

The birth of her child coincided with a period when Teacher Zhao's career was taking off.

That same year, he made a name for himself in the local area with his performance of "Shuai Sanxian".

Therefore, Teacher Zhao always felt guilty because he played a blind man in "The Fallen String", and became famous for playing disabled people.

According to the old saying, it is not proper to imitate a disabled person, so he felt that his son was being punished for what he had done.

Just like how he always imitates stroke patients on stage, now he's clutching his head and yelling that he's dizzy.

I've become Wu Lao Er...

But this is superstition, a belief in karma.

Actually, both incidents were related to Uncle Benshan's excessive drinking.

When a person faces a life-or-death situation, who do they think of, and who holds the most weight in their heart?

Clearly, what Teacher Zhao can't let go of the most is her eldest daughter.

It's often said that daughters are their fathers' warm little cotton-padded jackets, though of course, there are also some heartless little cotton-padded jackets.

Daughters are different from sons; a son can be hit or kicked a few times and it won't matter.

If someone gets injured in a fight outside, the first thing to ask is whether they were in a fight.

Even if you don't get beaten up, you'll still get another beating when you get home.

It's different with daughters. If they bump into something or get hurt, their fathers will risk their lives for them.

Zhang Yuan looked on with a sense of awe.

Don't underestimate Zhao Benshan just because he wasn't very well-educated. As the saying goes, the most righteous are often the lowly butchers, while the most ungrateful are often the scholars.

He felt he was no longer capable, and he was still thinking about his ex-wife's daughter.

Then look at highly educated intellectuals like Ying Da and Wang Shuo, and see how they treat their ex-wives and their children.

"The second thing is that I will give all the money I have left to your master's wife."

Only now are we talking about his current wife.

"Finally, after I'm gone, you can't break up; you have to stick together."

"Because once it's scattered, it's no longer a cohesive unit, nor a complete entity." "Once scattered, it's no longer a thing. We'll hold on as long as we can."

This is similar to Liu Bei entrusting his son to Liu Bei on his deathbed.

Did Liu Bei not realize that with his departure and that of his two brothers, the great cause of restoring the Han dynasty would most likely fall through?
I know the answer in my heart, but I have to leave it to Mr. Zhuge and hope that he can hold on for as long as possible, in case there is a chance for things to turn around.

Zhao Benshan knew in his heart that if he were to fail, Benshan Media would be finished.

There will never be another Zhao Benshan.

If Teacher Guo and Brother Qian were to suddenly disappear, would a second pair be possible?

Definitely not.

But as long as the Deyuan Society signboard remains and people still gather together, everyone will have food to eat.

But once the incense sticks were removed, they went their separate ways.

Who, if singled out, could remain popular for another five years?

Otherwise, it won't even be a brand name anymore in a year or two.

Zhao Benshan possesses great wisdom; all of this was within his expectations.

"No, Master, you'll be alright. Let's go to the hospital right away."

"Stop talking nonsense, got it?" Zhao Benshan showed little fear at this moment.

Because I was mentally prepared.

His eldest uncle and his second uncle's son both died suddenly due to mental problems.

Especially that nephew, who died when he was only in his early twenties.

There is a genetic predisposition to this disease in their family.

That's why he felt he was doomed, as several of his immediate family members had already passed away from this disease.

"The ambulance is here!"

An apprentice rushed in from outside.

Two people in white coats also came in.

"Zhao Benshan!"

"It's Zhao Benshan!"

Upon seeing this incredibly familiar face, the accompanying emergency responders immediately shouted excitedly.

"Teacher Zhao, let's take a picture together." The medical staff even made a peace sign.

"Stop taking those pictures, give me a CT scan of my head first." Teacher Zhao squinted and waved her hand.

My blood pressure was measured: 140 at the bottom and 210 at the top!

They quickly sent him away, gave him a hemostatic injection in the car, and put him on an IV drip to sedate him.

Xie Guangkun and I went to the hospital together by car.

The other apprentices also took taxis and hurriedly followed.

"Shenyang, stay here for a moment and help me say hello to everyone."

Zhang Yuan is ultimately an outsider; he needs an apprentice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, something terrible has happened today, I'm sorry to spoil your fun."

"will not!"

"Teacher Zhao's health is the most important thing."

These attendees were just brought under control, so it's understandable that they were emotional.

At this point, you should greet them and say nice things.

Otherwise, once I step outside, I don't know how these people will spread this news.

"Xiao Shenyang and I apologize to everyone on behalf of Teacher Zhao."

"Once I recover, I'll treat everyone to a reunion."

"You must do me the honor of attending."

Everyone agreed.

"I have a small favor to ask, everyone please help me out," Zhang Yuan said, getting to the point: "I hope everyone will keep quiet about what happened today."

"Please don't tell anyone."

Shenyang then realized why he had been dragged along, and quickly bowed, offering tea instead of wine.

No wonder his master was happy to drink with him.

He has kept the situation under control from the moment we left until now.

The cleanup efforts have been handled meticulously.

Master is right, we do need to learn from others.

Zhang Yuan is a celebrity, so he shook hands with everyone to see them off; his reputation will probably be useful for a while.

After dropping off the person, he took Xiao Shenyang to the hospital.

It wouldn't be right not to go if something happened right in front of me.

Before they even arrived, they were told that the person had already been transferred from the district central hospital to Huashan Hospital.

They opened a green channel for them, calling in experts who had already finished get off work for a consultation.

This is what superstar treatment is like.

He didn't need to be addressed with any fancy titles; the hospital took him seriously as soon as they saw him.

Unlike a certain "boss-like" celebrity, Ms. Han, who cyberbullied doctors because she didn't receive special treatment.

Once you reach a certain level of status, there will be plenty of people pulling strings for you.

The apprentices surrounded the ward, making it impossible for anyone to get in.

"The situation is not good. If surgery is performed, the success rate is 70%, but the probability of a full recovery is 50/50."

The doctor and Xie Guangkun whispered to each other.

Zhang Yuan peeked out and looked around, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

If you're going to mutter something, at least do it somewhere away from Teacher Zhao.

"It's alright, sir, the doctor said it's a minor issue."

"Yes, it's okay," the doctor agreed.

Zhao Benshan shakily raised his hand to cover his face, looking as if he couldn't bear to listen anymore.

Performing monkey tricks in front of the old demon.

"Teacher Zhao, are you alright?"

He squeezed in and grasped Uncle Benshan's hand.

After some simple treatment, she felt much better.

"It's alright, you're busy, go ahead, you don't need to stay here."

"I do have other things to do later, but there's something I can help with."

"Hospitals are crowded and noisy, so I just started a security company."

"Although you have bodyguards, you can't fight against four hands with two fists."

"I'll bring a group of people over here to keep out the media and paparazzi, so as not to interfere with your treatment."

"You're so thoughtful." The other party did not refuse.

This is a big job.

Zhang Yuan's actions were partly public and partly private.

It's to help Teacher Benshan, and if you do a good job, you can also become famous in the industry.

He immediately called Brother Qian and told him to bring people to Shanghai to monitor the area around the hospital wards.

After finishing my work, I sat down in the corridor, feeling quite anxious.

Quite a few celebrities have died because of drinking.

Lausanne died from drunk driving.

Danny Chan died from alcohol and sleeping pills, although this was the means, not the cause.

The most famous of them all is Gu Long.

I ran into actor Ko Chun-hsiung at a restaurant... This guy even filmed a passionate scene with Shu Chi in her early days when he was 50.

It was the movie that made her famous, "Sex and the Soul".

Ko Chun-hsiung was lusting after Shu Chi's body, so he deliberately positioned himself as the male lead and even designed many passionate scenes.

Gu Long's novels are full of chivalrous heroes, but he himself is not a chivalrous hero.

Ko Chun-hsiung had a very good relationship with Wang Yu, the man who used to shoot bullets into the script for the Liang family back then, and his background was extremely shady.

They had a disagreement during dinner, and he cut Gu Long's wrist artery with a knife.

Because of excessive bleeding, the hospital did not have enough blood for treatment.

Ke Junxiong instructed his underlings to find someone to buy blood.

The blood they bought turned out to contain hepatitis B!
They ruined Gu Long's liver.

This is the famous "Yin Song Ge Incident" in the Taiwanese entertainment industry.

Gu Long was a heavy drinker and ignored medical advice to continue drinking heavily.

This person especially loves Rémy Martin XO, which is a very strong liquor.

Later, when filming "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen", I met Mr. Tsui Siu-keung. Mr. Tsui Siu-keung has a rare capacity for alcohol, and the two of us drank without restraint.

This drinking session made Gu Long both happy and drunk.

Zhang Yuan felt a headache whenever he thought about Gu Long.

Because it's so much like who I am now!
A movie star and an artsy tycoon had a drinking contest, which ended up causing the tycoon to get into trouble.

I've become Xu Shaoqiang!

Putting aside the question of whether he should take responsibility, from an emotional standpoint, he couldn't bear to see Teacher Zhao get into trouble.

"I hope that, like in my previous life, I can turn misfortune into good fortune and overcome difficulties into blessings."

He kept praying for the other person.

At the same time, I'm glad I haven't made any plans with Sister Xu Qing recently.

Otherwise, with the older sister's debuff, Zhao Benshan might not have been able to survive.

While anxiously awaiting the other person's surgery, my phone started ringing increasingly irritatingly.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the caller ID, then adjusted his posture, becoming slightly more respectful.

Because the person who called him was another big name in the performing arts world, Liu Lanfang… (End of Chapter)
