I, the emperor, aspired to the top of the entertainment industry

Xie Mingzhou recalled the two people just now, the man wearing a mask made him feel uncomfortable, but he didn't think much about it.

Xie Mingzhou stood in front of Li Mingshan's office and knocked lightly on the door.

After entering the door, the four walls of Li Mingshan's office are covered with Li Zongce's copy paintings, and it can be seen that he is very obsessed with Zong Ce's painting style.

Li Mingshan smiled kindly and sat on the sofa, brewing a pot of Longjing: "Mr. Xie, congratulations. The painting association has reached an agreement on the result of this competition. The awards and remuneration will be sent to Mr. Xie the next day."

Xie Mingzhou was sitting on the opposite sofa. Xu Zong Ce's descendants gave him a sense of intimacy. He smiled calmly: "Thank you, the result of this competition is quite important to me."

Saved my modern suffering life.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup with his long fingers, took a sip slowly, and said with a smile: "Good tea."

Although compared with his favorite Biluochun, he is a bit less repentant.

Li Mingshan hesitated for a moment, the person in front of him sat elegantly, and always spoke with a natural sense of nobility. He was born in poverty, but exuded nobility - just like the majestic phoenix he described.

Thinking of that painting, Li Qingshan asked suspiciously: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question, sir. I wonder if you have read "Hundred Birds in the Mountain" by the painter Zong Ce?"

Xie Mingzhou nodded lightly.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​painting a phoenix, sir?" Li Mingshan asked curiously thoughtfully, "That painting, sir, is very similar to the artistic conception of "Hundred Bird Mountain Dwelling"."

Xie Mingzhou pursed his lips unhurriedly, and cast his eyes out of the window: "The phoenix just reminds me of the prosperity and wonders of the Ming Dynasty back then. Draw it and pay tribute to Zong Ce."

Dear friend.

But of course he knew that what Zong Ce really wanted to paint back then was actually a hundred birds facing the phoenix. Zong Ce painted birds and he painted phoenixes.This can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the year.

"The Ming Dynasty..." Li Mingshan looked at him half-understood, his eyes brightened slightly, "Does the Phoenix refer to the Ming Emperor? Is it true that Zong Ce wanted to paint the Ming Emperor because historians speculated that he really liked the Ming Emperor..."

Xie Mingzhou's expression was delicate: "Not necessarily. The painter's inspiration is always strange, and it may be that this inspiration just happened to collide with Zong Ce."

Xie Mingzhou had a headache.During his reign, because of his extensive research, he had many close friends, and each of them was talented, and Zong Ce was one of them.

As for the romantic debt... He does love beauties, but he also has principles, and his appreciation for Zong Ce is more for his talent.

Li Mingshan nodded half-understanding: "Mr. Xie, I have a friend who studies history who is very interested in this painting. Would you agree to let him have a look at it? Maybe it can also give him some inspiration."

Xie Mingzhou rubbed the center of his brows, and said slowly: "Yes."

"Almost forgot." Li Qingshan took a stack of papers from the table, handed it to Xie Mingzhou, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xie still has a chance to appear on a variety show. I wonder if you are interested?"

Xie Mingzhou raised his eyebrows.

variety show.He is now just a retired artist without a brokerage company.

He took the file and looked down.

"National Cultural Relics", a variety show that cooperates with major museums, invites big-name celebrities with profound cultural heritage, mainly to identify calligraphy and painting cultural relics on the spot, and to explain a historical secret.Although the ratings are not top-notch, broadcasting on Zhongwei TV is a place for many artists to improve themselves.

As the investor of the program, Master Li Qingshan, in order to bring more cultural masters to the screen, the program team also cooperates with many cultural circles, and the Zong Ce Cup of the Chinese painting circle is one of them.

Xie Mingzhou's eyes brightened slightly. In the past dozen or so issues, most of the evaluations were cultural relics unearthed in ancient times, including his treasures from back then.

Xie Mingzhou raised his eyebrows lightly. He himself is an emperor who is praised by posterity for his peach blossoms. His cultural relics... don't know what flowers will be said by modern people.

What's even more exciting is that the next guest's name is Shen Yuqiao.

Fu Yan chased after him for a long time but failed to catch up with the top-notch Bai Yueguang who just came back from studying in the United States a few days ago.

As his name suggests, he was born into a great performer, well-educated and well-educated. He made his debut as a child star, and just like him, he disappeared for a few years.

But the difference is that he broke the contract back then, and his popularity as the film star was hacked into the hot search; while Shen Yuqiao reached the peak of popularity, and resolutely chose to go to the United States for further studies.

The same traffic niche, the two news one after the other, Shen Yuqiao has countless fans, but he was blacked out by the whole network.

During this period, although Shen Yuqiao did not develop in China for a long time, he occasionally returned to China to film dramas and release singles to maintain his popularity.

Coincidentally, Shen Yuqiao's first variety show on his official return to China this time is "National Cultural Relics", which is in line with his always full of poems and books, gentle as jade personality.

If it was Xie Mingzhou from the past, he would never dare to accept this hot variety show.Appearing on cultural variety shows with Shen Yuqiao, there will be no scum left if you don't get caught in seconds.

At that time, the direction of public opinion on the entire network can be imagined.

Seeing Xie Mingzhou's silence, Li Qingshan knew something in his heart. Although he didn't pay attention to the traffic in the entertainment circle, he also understood Xie Mingzhou's past these few days.But as an artist, what he appreciates is Xie Mingzhou's talent, no talented person has an extraordinary past.

"Originally there is another guest candidate. It's okay if you don't want to participate." Li Qingshan explained, "The theme of the next issue is related to the Ming Dynasty. I originally thought that the husband would be interested..."

"Go." Xie Mingzhou replied bluntly, with a smile on his lips, "The things of the Ming Dynasty, of course, have to go."

He didn't care about Fu Yan and Shen Yuqiao at all, he just wanted to see his own cultural relics from back then.

Li Qingshan looked at him thoughtfully, and agreed: "Indeed, the most culturally prosperous dynasty in history, many people are waiting to see this issue."

As he said that, Li Qingshan remembered something, and his face showed worry: "The program team will pass on the script for you to prepare later, so you don't have to pay too much attention to netizens' comments..."

After all, this is the first show that Xie Mingzhou has come back since he was hacked.

Xie Mingzhou laughed softly, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and comforted him: "Master Li, don't worry."

Seeing Xie Mingzhou's free and easy face, Li Qingshan let go of the stone in his heart.

He hesitated for a while, his slightly long hair fell down, and his sharp eyes were full of sincerity: "Just call me Lao Li, and I hope to become close friends with Mr. Xie."

best friend.

Xie Mingzhou just smiled and said nothing, he is too familiar with this word.

The scene of the crew of "The King of Shadows".

Fu Yan threw the script aside in agitation, and after reading for half an hour, he didn't read a single word, and kept replaying the scene of seeing Xie Mingzhou just now in his mind.

Xie Mingzhou won the first place in the traditional Chinese painting competition?

Although he didn't know much about Chinese painting, he also knew that this was a competition held by Li Qingshan, a master of Chinese painting.

But the more you know, the more outrageous it feels.Xie Mingzhou in the past didn't even paint Chinese paintings, he didn't even understand the basics of history, and his lines in a costume drama were full of loopholes.

Xie Mingzhou's haughty and flamboyant face flashed before his eyes, and Fu Yan frowned even deeper.

Getting the first place means having the opportunity to appear on the variety show of "National Cultural Relics".

——That opportunity originally belonged to him and Shen Yuqiao on the same stage.The program originally asked him to be a guest, but when the program team reported the list to the employer's father, Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan personally asked him to give Fu Yan's spot to a "Master of Chinese Painting".

Who knew that master was Xie Mingzhou?

He has never been short of variety show resources, but this is Shen Yuqiao's first show back in China.He just brought money to find Li Qingshan, but was still rejected, saying that it was to give more exposure to cultural scholars.

And his show was changed to the next episode.Although he could get in sooner or later, but the great opportunity was cut off by this idiot Xie Mingzhou, no matter how he thought about it, he was not reconciled!

Seeing that Fu Yan was hardly in a daze, the agent at the side comforted him, "Brother Yan, if you really want to go, shall we ask your uncle to come forward in person?"

The agent analyzed rationally, "No matter Li Qingshan or any master, he will definitely give him face."

Fu Yan's uncle, the biggest person in power in the Fu family.Although the Fu family is a traditional cultural family, under the leadership of this business tycoon, they have successfully climbed to the top of the emerging technology industry, and are also the largest shareholders after major social media.

"Him?" Fu Yan's face changed slightly, "He never bothered to ask about the entertainment industry. I have been educated by him several times since I entered the entertainment industry. How dare I tell him such a stupid thing."

When he opened a personal film and television studio, it was his parents who begged Fu Chengu for a long time before this indifferent uncle agreed to set up a personal studio for him, and resources poured in after that.

"Although I don't know what tricks Xie Mingzhou used to hook up with Li Qingshan, but," Fu Yan raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "I'll give him this chance, and he must be able to take it."

"You mean?"

The agent was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

Although Fu Yan couldn't participate, the directors on the scene were all their old acquaintances. After a while to say hello, Xie Mingzhou's true colors could be revealed and he retreated.

Give up the idea of ​​returning to the entertainment industry as soon as possible.

A week later, the filming scene of "Cultural Heritage".

The live broadcast is about to start. Xie Mingzhou is standing in the backstage corner waiting to go on stage. His black shirt and black trousers make his complexion more even and fair.

Although it is a live broadcast, the content of the program involves treasures of cultural relics. The director of the program just took Xie Mingzhou and several appraisal experts through the process, as well as the matters needing attention when touching cultural relics.

But Shen Yuqiao hasn't come yet, his schedule is too full, and the program team trusts his ability on the spot, allowing him to skip the rehearsal and go straight to the stage.

With a respectful face, Director Xu gave final instructions to the experts one by one.

Walking to Xie Mingzhou's side, Director Xu scrolled through the playlist and asked softly, "Have you memorized all the lines?"

"Hmm." Xie Mingzhou glanced thoughtfully at Director Xu's face.I don't know if it's because he has too much black history in the past, or because of other reasons, Director Xu's attitude towards him is particularly indifferent.

Because it is a variety show of cultural relics, there are many and complicated lines involved. Even an actor with a profound cultural background, it is difficult to explain historical relics without the script.

but--

The script that the program team gave him was only three pages, and it was still sent to him in the early hours of last night.

In this book, it was basically words that echoed or complimented Shen Yuqiao.

In short, he is just a supporting actor, a foil for Shen Yuqiao.Although Li Qingshan has the right to decide the personnel, the process of the scene still has to be arranged by the director.

"Be serious, don't say the wrong thing when the time comes." Director Xu tapped Ming Zhou's shoulder with no script, and looked at the handsome young man in front of him with disdain.

It's not that he has never heard of Xie Mingzhou's name. He is good-looking but full of scandals. This time, he used some means to become the number one in Chinese painting, and even snatched away his friend Fu Yan's guest opportunity.

Fu Yan called himself just now and told him to "take care" of the young actor who came back, and let him be Shen Yuqiao's foil without affecting the progress of the show.When the time comes, the contrast between the two will be sharp, and Shen Yuqiao's fans will step on it again, revealing Xie Mingzhou, an illiterate man.

Before he could look away, he met Xie Mingzhou's quiet peach blossom eyes unpreparedly, the sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts.

Director Xu's breathing fluttered, and he was about to turn around and leave, but saw Xie Mingzhou curl his lips, and said concisely: "Got it."

The tone is full of arrogance that has been in the upper class for a long time.

Director Xu was even more disdainful. How could he dare to talk to him in such a tone as an [-]-line fool.

At this time, the two heard excited low voices coming from the door.

"Ah, it's Shen Yuqiao!"
