Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Chapter 509 Xu Fugui Becomes Famous

The current Winbond company is rich and has the most cinema chains in Hong Kong. In addition, the quality and effects of these two films are very good, which caused a huge response in the Hong Kong market and made more people further aware of the shameless faces of Britain and Mao, and the harm of opium to people.

Of course, the British and Mao Zedong authorities were not very satisfied with this movie because it affected their great image, and they asked George to find Xu Damao to protest.

"Mr. George, art comes from life and is higher than life. This movie is very real and has no intention of deliberately vilifying you. The problem reflected is only a small aspect. You have done it before, why don't you admit it?" After two months of training, Xu Damao has become a completely different person from the Xu Damao who had just arrived in Hong Kong. He has become much more confident, and his every move shows his elegance.

"Mr. Xu, this is not conducive to the next step of friendship," said George.

"Mr. George, have you seen the movie? The bad guy in it was played by my father. The bad guy in the second movie was also played by my father. Can I still think that he is a bad guy just because my father changed his career to play a bad guy? Can I still deny my father?" Xu Damao said.

George was a little confused when he heard this. He couldn't imagine that the father of a film company manager would professionally play villains and act so well.

"Mr. Xu, your father is a performer." George was speechless. He felt that what Xu Damao said was wrong, but he couldn't refute it.

It is hard to say whether Xu Damao's father was an actor, but Xu Fugui was really famous. On the second day after the movie was released, he left the community and went to the vegetable market to buy the freshest vegetables as usual, because he was rich now. He earned 2,000 yuan from the movie "Opium War". He earned another 5,000 yuan from "Nie Xiaoqian". He earned 54.5 yuan a month in China, and in more than two months, he earned as much as he had in ten years.

Xu Fugui was a little inflated. He had to spend money. He had heard that there were few varieties of vegetables in Hong Kong. If he wanted to buy the best vegetables, he had to get up early. So he got up very early. He planned to buy some leafy vegetables, eggs and shrimps today. His grandson was still too young and could only eat some supplementary food. When his grandson grew up, Xu Fugui would buy whatever he wanted to eat.

"Boss, how much is this rapeseed?" Xu Fugui asked with his head down.

"Rapeseed... Damn, you're the traitor, aren't you? I recognized you." The stall owner came out and punched Xu Fugui twice.

"I'm an actor." Xu Fugui suddenly remembered the role he played, which was a rather unlikable role.

"He's an actor, stop it." Someone came over and pulled the stall owner away.

"I'm an actor. This is a requirement of my job. There are good guys and bad guys in a movie. Otherwise, how would you know who is the bad one?" Xu Fugui hurriedly explained as he saw more and more people gathered around him.

"Well said. But you acted so realistically that I really want to beat you up. I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now. If you need any dishes today, I'll treat you." The stall owner quickly admitted his mistake.

"Did you play grandma too?" Someone recognized another role played by Xu Fugui.

"Yes. My son is the manager of a film company. There was no one to play the villain, so shouldn't I support my son's work? So I did it myself," said Xu Fugui.

"Uncle, your son is a big boss, why are you acting in this?" someone asked.

"Uncle Xu just said that he supports his son's work. Someone has to play the villain in a movie," another person explained for Xu Fugui.

"I don't think you are acting," another asked.

"I don't have a daughter, only a son, who is married and has two grandchildren. We are a very happy family and there is no such situation," Xu Fugui explained.

"Is that so? Uncle Xu, what film are you going to shoot next?"

"Uncle Xu, is your son Xu Damao or Mr. Xu?"

Xu Fugui struggled to get out of the vegetable market, with a cloth wrapped around his head and various vegetables in his hands. When he arrived at the community, he was stopped by the security guard, who only let him in after he took off the cloth on his head.

"Dad, buy so many vegetables?" It was just past seven o'clock, and Xu Damao was interacting with his two sons in the yard.

"You bastard, what the hell did you ask me to act out? I was beaten as soon as I arrived at the vegetable market, and I had a hard time getting away," Xu Fugui said to his son.

"Dad, you're famous now. This shows that you act well. Have you forgotten Mr. Chen who played the Southern Tyrant in China? People wanted to beat him up when they saw him, which shows that he was really famous. Being famous in China doesn't bring in income, but this is Hong Kong. After you become famous, your salary for the next movie will definitely increase, maybe to tens of thousands," said Xu Damao.

"Tens of thousands? Really?" Xu Fugui opened his mouth in surprise.

"Of course, don't worry. As long as you have time, other film companies will come to our company to invite you," Xu Damao said seriously.

"Really? That's great. My dear grandson, grandpa has earned money and will buy you delicious food." Xu Fugui no longer worried about being beaten.

Since he brought back so many dishes, Xu Damao sent some to his father-in-law's house. Lou Xiao'e also told her parents about her father-in-law becoming famous. Lou Weihua laughed so hard that he spit out his food. He said that he regretted not having this characteristic of Old Xu. If he had known this would happen, he would have sent him to Shanghai before liberation.

Not only Xu Fugui became famous due to these two films produced by Huabang, but to be precise, three people became famous. One was Xu Fugui, because he played the villain to perfection. The second was Cheng Fengshou, who played the scholar. The most popular was Yu Haitang. The scene of her in fluttering white clothes and with two lines of tears falling from the corners of her eyes broke the hearts of countless boys.

When you are famous, you will have a lot of troubles. The most direct one is that it will be inconvenient to travel, as people will know you wherever you go.

Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Federation, there have been more exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland. One day, Zhang Dabao received a call from Li Huaide, who said that there was an opportunity for cultural exchange, which was a matter between the people and could be promoted if conditions allowed.

Zhang Dabao asked about the method of communication, which is that both sides bring cultural works to exchange with each other, which can be calligraphy and painting, movies, dramas, crosstalk and other art forms.

Zhang Dabao thought of the two films produced by his own film company and agreed to carry out folk cultural exchanges. He sent an invitation letter in the name of Huabang Films, inviting mainlanders to come first.

Soon, a live drama troupe came to Hong Kong under the leadership of a leader from the Ministry of Culture. They performed three shows of "Thunderstorm" and "Tea House" in Hong Kong, and also held a special crosstalk show, which was loved by the general public in Hong Kong.

Everyone stayed in Hong Kong for seven days. On the way back, Xu Damao brought two movies and invited some Hong Kong calligraphers, painters and writers to exchange ideas. Zhang Dabao thought that he had been out for almost three months and also wanted to go back with them.
