Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 245 Returning to One's Roots: The Wisdom of the Older Generation (Fourth Update)

Yang Yunsheng's choice of Wu Jing to play Liu Peiqiang was no joke at all.

Because Liu Peiqiang in "The Wandering Earth" was originally played by Wu Jing.

The reason Yang Yunsheng didn't mention him at first was that he thought Yang Yunsheng was closer to Deyun Society, and he wanted to see if he could be replaced. After all, Yang Yunsheng was a crosstalk performer from Tingyunxuan.

It's no secret that Wu Jing is close to Deyun Club.

From now on, things will only get better.

Yang Yunsheng thought about this matter for a long time, and the reason why he finally chose Wu Jing was because Wu Jing had earned all the money from the patriotic film.

It's not shameful to choose him to continue acting in order to make money.

Furthermore, the plan to film "The Wandering Earth" will take at least two years.

If filming begins in 2014, then the earliest it could be released is during the National Day holiday in 2015, or even during the Spring Festival of 2015.

By that time, the first "Wolf Warrior" movie had already been released and had grossed over a billion yuan at the box office.

Wu Jing quickly became a sought-after, top-tier actress in the film and television industry.

Even when the second "Wolf Warrior" movie came out, it led the domestic box office for a long time.

In short, Wu Jing will definitely become a highly sought-after actor in the future.

Casting Wu Jing in the film will also provide an extra guarantee for the box office success of "The Wandering Earth".

Liu Ying nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go ask him if he's available. If he is, I'll choose him to star in the film!"

Speaking of this, Yang Yunlan also chimed in.

"If Wu Jing is going to play Liu Peiqiang, then why not let Uncle Yu play the grandfather?"

Yang Yunsheng chuckled twice and rolled his eyes at Yang Yunlan.

"Because your brother is a crosstalk performer at Tingyunxuan, and Uncle Yu works with Guo Degang. The two families are like sworn enemies in ancient martial arts worlds. Do you think Uncle Yu could play this role?"

Yang Yunlan thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Soon, she had another problem.

"Now that you're so rich, why do you still work for Cao Yunjin instead of acquiring Tingyunxuan and having Cao Yunjin work for you?"

Liu Ying also looked at Yang Yunsheng, she was also curious.

Yang Yunsheng nodded and said, "Good question, don't ask it again next time."

Liu Ying smiled and said, "Tell me, I want to know too!"

Yang Yunsheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Performing crosstalk is just a hobby for me now. I don't have any ideas about regulating or developing the crosstalk industry at the moment. Besides, there are so many senior figures in the crosstalk industry. Why should a junior like me care so much? If the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up."

Yang Yunlan scoffed at Yang Yunsheng's differential treatment.

"It's just a perverse sense of humor, yet you make it sound so noble!"

In fact, what Yang Yunlan said was not wrong.

In Yang Yunsheng's view, crosstalk is neither suitable for developing too well nor too poorly.

That's enough as long as everyone has enough to eat.

If we let them become too wealthy, they'll become like the members of Deyun Society—arrogant and forget who they are.

After dinner, Yang Yunsheng drove Liu Ying home. In the car, Yang Yunsheng said to Yang Yunlan, "The holidays are coming soon. Go home first and see how the house repairs are going. Mom is alone at home and has to run the restaurant. I'm worried that she won't be able to manage the house situation."

Yang Yunlan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think the house can be fixed up a bit. Now we can bring Mom to live in the capital, wouldn't that be great? The capital is a big city, much better than our hometown."

Yang Yunsheng noticed that she was getting carried away again.

Yang Yunlan noticed Yang Yunsheng's unusual expression and quickly explained, "I'm not saying our hometown is bad, it's just that we're both in Beijing now, and we'll definitely be developing our careers there in the future. Bringing Mom here would be helpful, as she'd be able to take care of her. If she wants to open a shop, we'll support her; there's really no need for her to stay in our hometown." Yang Yunsheng, looking at the road, said, "You're still young, and there are some things you don't understand. Mom has spent her whole life in our hometown; she hasn't even explored many parts of Tianjin. Everyone she knows is in Tianjin. If she comes to Beijing with us, she won't know anyone. What will she do then? Walk around like those old folks in the neighborhood every day? Even if we do what you say, starting a business in Beijing, it won't be as comfortable as it is back home."

Yang Yunlan nodded, realizing she had oversimplified things.

Yes, you feel free and at ease in your hometown, but you feel restricted in big cities.

Yang Yunsheng added, "Besides, Dad is still buried in our hometown. Although it's not far away, it's still not as convenient as having him by my side."

Yang Yunlan replied, "Okay, I understand."

Soon after, Yang Yunlan added another sentence.

"But I'm still thinking of bringing Mom to Beijing so she can take a look around. Then you, my sister-in-law, and I can all accompany Mom to see all the sights in Beijing."

Yang Yunsheng agreed this time, and Yang Yunlan's thinking was quite thorough.

Construction on the house began in early March and is expected to be completed around July or August.

We'll let Qin Tailai come to the capital for a month or two, and then go back after the house is repaired.

Yang Yunsheng is not the kind of person who needs others to support him. If anyone dares to tamper with the house he built, Yang Yunsheng will do everything he can to destroy him.

When he was renovating his house in his hometown, he didn't specifically look for designers and construction teams in the city.

One very important reason is that Xia Chenxi's father is a master house repairman.

Yang Yunsheng had already entrusted this matter to Empress Dowager Qin, to be handled by Xia Chenxi's father, Xia Guangrong.

If my fourth uncle were to do anything underhanded, he wouldn't be human.

Therefore, there is no need for the two families to have any further dealings.

Yang Yunsheng trusted his fourth uncle for a simple reason: his fourth uncle had always been honest and unassuming, not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

As for why Xia Guangrong's surname is Xia and Yang Yunsheng's surname is Yang, and why he has to call him Fourth Uncle!

He was Yang Yunsheng's grandfather, and he had served in the army back then.

He also participated in the Korean War and was awarded a medal.

After he was discharged from the army, he came to live with the Xia family, which means he married into their family.

Because the previous grandfather of the Xia family passed away at a young age.

In order to support her husband's large family, Grandma Yang Yunsheng took in a son-in-law who moved into her home.

Fourth Uncle Xia Rongguang is from the Xia family lineage.

Yang Yunsheng and his family had no blood relation to the Xia family in the village.

But the villagers did not become estranged because some people had the surname Xia and some had the surname Yang.

They've lived together harmoniously for so many years.

Even after Yang Yunsheng's father passed away, the villagers still took good care of the three remaining members of the Yang family.

Anyway, Yang Yunsheng felt that his hometown was quite different from other villages, except that it also had some gossip.

This is also why Yang Yunsheng is willing to go back and also wants his mother to stay in the village.

Of course, it would be even better if the Empress Dowager Qin were willing to come to the capital.

But Yang Yunsheng knew Empress Dowager Xu's personality, and he was afraid that she would not want to live in an unfamiliar place.

Even though her children are here.

Even if her children came, she wouldn't be happy.
