Chapter 1131: Brother and Sister

In both past and present lives, people who are beneficial to others, or more precisely, those who can bring benefits to others, always easily become popular.

Zhao Fusheng understood this principle quite well.

Therefore, he always adhered to the principle of sharing benefits and never hogged everything for himself.

After all, before becoming a big shot, one must respect the current big shots—this was the lesson Zhao Fusheng had learned from nearly twenty years of workplace experience.

"Fusheng, do you really dislike the entertainment industry that much?" During a break in the banquet, while the big shots were clinking glasses, Yu Feihong and Zhao Fusheng stepped outside. Yu Feihong frowned slightly and voiced her doubt to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly: "Sister, it's not that I dislike this circle, but I have a very clear understanding of it."

This was his true feeling. The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. Struggling in such a cesspool, it's already difficult for ordinary people to remain unsullied, let alone maintain their original intentions.

In the final analysis, those struggling in the entertainment industry are actually pitiful. But pitiful people often have their hateful aspects—this is beyond doubt.

"There's no way around it; the environment changes people." Yu Feihong was silent for a long time before smiling bitterly at Zhao Fusheng.

This was the only truth she had realized after years of struggling in the circle.

"Alright, don't overthink it." Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Yu Feihong, "At least now, what you're doing is what you want to do, isn't it?"

Yu Feihong now devotes most of her energy to charity activities, and even acts in very few films. In her own words, she is now a non-professional actor.

Zhao Fusheng thought this was quite good. Sister Feihong was never one to enjoy being a topic of entertainment gossip. Doing what she likes now actually makes her happier.

No one knows better than Zhao Fusheng what society looks like after the moral system collapses—when you are accused of being a murderer after saving someone, when you dare not help an elderly person who has fallen, when you dare not give alms to a beggar, and even when you die saving someone, your body is used as a bargaining chip...

The price of economic development is the deterioration of people's hearts. Zhao Fusheng sometimes feels confused, not knowing whether this is good or bad.

Everything in this world is like the old man losing his horse—it has both good and bad sides. Yu Qiuyu was right: our history is too long, our schemes too deep, our military tactics too many, our black boxes too big, our inside stories too thick, our tongues too greedy, our eyes too mixed, our expectations too dangerous, so there is such a thing as overthinking.

Zhao Fusheng found this very reasonable.

Although many people now participate in Yu Feihong's charity activities only to gain fame, as long as they are willing to contribute real money and not follow the example of International Zhang or Princess Ziwei in fraudulent donations, Zhao Fusheng doesn't mind.

Doing charity, no matter the purpose, even if it's just for a better reputation, as long as it's genuinely done, it's not a bad thing.

Even if there is no praise, it should not be slandered.

You know, more than ten years later, some celebrity couples even dare to freeload at charity parties.

It's still okay now; at least, whether ordinary people or celebrity actors, everyone still knows to have some shame and is not so shameless.

Of course, this might also be related to the level of internet development. After all, with limited information now, many people who do despicable things are not known to the public, so they easily whitewash themselves, transforming from shameless scumbags into artists of both moral integrity and artistic excellence.

As for dark histories like abandoning wives and children or cheating during marriage, if not deliberately dug up, they really get away with it. Unlike later generations, where even the slightest disturbance is magnified and exposed by sharp-eyed netizens.

Faced with that situation, celebrities have only two choices: either genuinely retire or pretend nothing happened, continue selling their persona, and continue making money.

So, things like the 'Touchy-Feely Captain' or tax evasion fines don't bother them at all. They can even do things like explaining cheating with a PPT. Never take the integrity of people in the entertainment industry too seriously.

As the saying goes, 'The good man is me, I am the cheating daddy, Tianba Dongbaca!'

...

...

After chatting with Yu Feihong about the foundation for a while, Zhao Fusheng knew he had to return to the banquet. After all, although Old Jiang had invited so many people under the pretext of his birthday, Zhao Fusheng himself was the main focus.

Just as he reached the door, a voice sounded beside him.

"Chairman Zhao, hello."

The speaker was in his twenties, about the same age as Zhao Fusheng, but he looked very nervous, even a bit cautious.

Looking at this very familiar face, Zhao Fusheng smiled inwardly and said, "Huang..."

"Huang Xiaoming." At this time, Huang Jiaozhu was still very green. He had just finished filming "The Prince of Han Dynasty II" at the beginning of the year. As a signed artist of Huayi Brothers, he naturally appeared here.

"Ah, hello, hello." Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded. He had a decent impression of this Huang Jiaozhu. Apart from "Not at All" and his fondness for young models, there seemed to be no major black marks.

As for acting skills, Zhao Fusheng was not an actor and didn't understand that. More importantly, even in his previous life, he hadn't seen many of Huang Jiaozhu's works, so he naturally had no right to judge his acting.

As for now, Huang Jiaozhu had not yet achieved fame and success; at best, he was just a young heartthrob. To borrow a phrase from later generations, Huang Jiaozhu at this time was probably equivalent to some traffic idols of later times.

In Zhao Fusheng's view, the terms 'young heartthrob' and 'no acting skills' cannot be equated, no matter the time.

For example, Principal Tan and Leslie Cheung from the seventies and eighties, and the current Golden Eagle Best Actor Li Fengfeng, are actually the same—they can all be considered young heartthrobs. The Five Tigers of TVB back then, whether it was Heavenly King Lau or Film Emperor Leung, including the other three including Qiao Feng, weren't they all handsome? There was no internet in that era, but that doesn't deny the fact that they were young heartthrobs and traffic idols.

But the problem is, among the same young heartthrobs, some really have no acting skills, like Heavenly King Lau, while others actually have decent acting skills, like Film Emperor Leung.

You know, more than ten years later, Heavenly King Lau said on CCTV's youth inspirational program "Open Class" that Film Emperor Leung's acting skills were better than his from the very beginning.

Talent is sometimes unreasonable.

Just like those young actors more than ten years later, whether it's Yu Zui or Qin Feng, the characters they portrayed in web dramas or "Detective Chinatown" prove that they are at least rough jades with acting skills that can be polished. As for Wu · Hip-hop King · Never Have Transcendent Relationships with Fans · Fanfan, well, he probably can only act with a straight face and a smile.

The relationship between acting skills and age is actually not that big.

Just like Mrs. Huang Jiaozhu in front of Zhao Fusheng, Miss Yang worth eighty million, who has steadfastly maintained her same lousy acting skills since entering the industry for over ten years—has she ever been proud?

Mrs. Jiaozhu is not easy either. How good can the acting skills of a student taught by her husband at that level be?

Sometimes, very smart actors often find it hard to grow because they are too smart. They are used to solving problems with intelligence but forget the essence of acting.

Just like Da Mimi, she fulfilled her chest but failed to fulfill her acting skills.

Of course, it's not her fault. Among the actresses of her generation, few truly have acting skills. After all, everyone is busy shooting ads and endorsements. How many are willing to calm down and hone their acting?

As for the highly praised Baozi classmate, well, just take the inspirational story with a grain of salt. Without a sugar daddy behind her, do you really think she could become popular in the entertainment industry?

She even married a human self-propelled cannon like Ma Shangfeng. Some things go without saying.

In an era when the internet was underdeveloped, the entertainment industry's pool of spring water was never calm, let alone in an era when internet information is developed and the entire circle is shrouded by the power of money bombs.

Those who believe there are white lotuses in the entertainment industry are themselves idiots. Not everyone is surnamed Han, and not everyone is Da Tiantian.
