By the Tongtian River.
The bright moon shines on the river.
Flashing with waves of light.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be able to memorize the lines of "The Legend of the Demon Cult". Your line skills, martial arts movements and performance level are all top-notch.
Zhang Min did not take off Zhao Min's ancient costume.
She was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
"Teacher Zhang Min was very complimentary, mainly because I really liked that movie."
Lu Xuan also wore a herdsman's robe.
The two of them were walking by the river under the mountains.
It's like traveling into the world of martial arts.
"Don't call me teacher. Everyone calls me Brother Min. You... just call me Sister Min."
After a short night together.
The relationship between Zhang Min and Lu Xuan quickly became closer.
"Okay, sister Min, don't call me Mr. Lu, just call me Lu Xuan."
Lu Xuan bent down, picked up a big stone and threw it into the Tongtian River.
Boom!
"Oh my god!"
The river water splashed all over Zhang Min.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect the river to be quite deep.
Lu Xuan patted the water stain on Zhang Min's chest.
"Lu Xuan, you didn't mean it...um..."
Zhang Min took half a step back.
Lu Xuan: "No, I have a problem. When I see rivers, rivers and seas, I want to throw something into them."
"You, you, are all the bosses of an entertainment giant with a valuation of hundreds of billions, and you still act like a child.
Zhang Min pursed his lips and smiled.
"A bit childish, right? Sister Min doesn't like me like this?"
Lu Xuan squatted by the river and washed his hands.
"No, you are quite good. You are very serious when cooking, you are also very serious when singing, and you are even more serious when performing. Your serious look is quite attractive.
Zhang Min stood 750 by the river with his hands behind his back, "But, if people are always serious, they will live very tired, but you are different. You should be serious and relax. The way you looked just now was full of childishness. In this fast-paced era of materialistic desires, it is not easy for a person to remain innocent.
"Wow, Sister Min is indeed a Buddhist and has learned a lot about life."
Lu Xuan picked up another stone and handed it to Zhang Min, "Sister Min, throw one too? Looking for the happiness of childhood?"
"I don't want it, childish~"
Zhang Min looked back.
Afraid that someone would see it.
"Huh? You just praised me for my childishness, and said that people can't always be serious. Come, come, come, no one is looking at you in the middle of the night.
Lu Xuan was stunned and put the stone into Zhang Min's hand.
"Oh, you are such a person..."
Zhang Min reluctantly took it.
"Come on, come on. When you played Zhao Min just now, weren't you very relaxed? Now you have the baggage of an idol? Don't think of yourself as a star now. You are Princess Zhao Min now, and I am Zhang Wuji.
When Lu Xuan said this, Zhang Min changed roles instantly.
Grasp the stone and throw it hard.
Boom!
Water splashed onto the shore.
"ah!"
Zhang Min thought of herself as Zhao Min.
Subconsciously grabbing Lu Xuan's hand and stepping back.
"Come again?"
Lu Xuan didn't say let go either.
Still intertwined with others.
"Okay, let's play together~"
Zhang Min's childlike innocence was awakened by Lu Xuan.
The two of them were holding hands on the bank and throwing stones into the river.
"Haha~"
Zhang Min laughed one after another.
After a life of ups and downs.
She has been obsessed with Buddhism these years.
On weekdays, I am neither sad nor happy, my mind is as calm as water.
However, the arrival of Lu Xuan aroused waves in her heart.
She is always looking for happiness that is just out of reach.
But she just discovered today that happiness is so simple.
After the two had some fun.
Lu Xuan asked: "Sister Min, can you tell me now why you don't want to come back?"
Zhang Min is immersed in the fantasy world of martial arts.
Lu Xuan's words brought him back to reality.
Only then did she realize.
He was holding Lu Xuan's hand.
So he quickly retracted in embarrassment.
"well!"
Zhang Min sat by the river, "Okay, I feel like you are in love, then I will tell you, I have never told anyone my inner thoughts, you are the first."
"my pleasure."
Lu Xuan sat next to her.
"I believe you should know about my past. I debuted at the age of 18 and signed with Yongsheng Film. With the support of the company's second boss Xiang Huasheng, I filmed more than 80 movies in 9 years and became the most prolific female star in the 1990s. .”
Looking back on the past, Zhang was filled with emotions.
"According to popular saying now, I was a resource person at that time."
“The resources I had at that time were better than Jingtian’s now.”
"I admit my relationship with Xiang Huasheng."
"He was indeed very good to me at first."
"But he has a family, and it was his ex-wife who discovered me."
"His ex-wife was also kind to me. Can you understand how conflicted I was back then?"
"Later, Xiang Huasheng divorced his ex-wife and said he wanted to marry me."
"I blame myself for this. The two of them divorced, and a large part of the reason was Zhan Zhan.
"I was young at that time, and I was ignorant about many things. You also know the Xiang family's background, and I had no initiative.
"In my relationship with Xiang Huasheng, I was passive from beginning to end."
"Let's talk about love...it's out of the question."
"I don't know what love is supposed to be like."
"Only when I was filming "The Demon Cult Leader" did I feel (bbc) that I was in love.
"Of course, I'm not falling in love with Jet Li, who plays Zhang Wuji, but with Zhang Wuji in the play."
"As for Xiang Huasheng, frankly I am a little afraid of him..."
"He said he liked me, but I didn't even have the courage to say no."
"I don't need to say more about how horrific the Xinyi cases in the 1990s were."
"Before Xiang Huasheng wanted to marry me, he went to a master to tell his fortune. The master said that I was a troublemaker and would bring misfortune to Xiang Huasheng and even my husband.
"He was very superstitious and didn't want to marry me. To be honest, I wasn't sad at the time, but relieved.
"Xiang Hua Sheng proposed that I should always be his lover. I can't accept it. I am also a human being, not a plaything. I also have dignity, okay?"
"So I proposed to leave Yongsheng and pursue my own life."
"I was so angry at Huasheng that his love for me instantly turned into hatred."
"I remember very clearly that he threatened me: You are nothing without me! Let's see who dares to take you!"
"But I insist on leaving. The worst possible outcome is death. That's better than staying in Yongsheng and committing suicide."
"In 1995, I left Yongsheng, started my own business, and invested in the comedy film "The Dreamer of One Thousand and One Nights."
"I thought that with my fame and influence, I could establish myself in Hong Kong."
“But I was still too young, and the film schedule after its release was appalling, which ultimately cost me tens of millions.
"Later I found out that it was Xiang Huasheng who had told the industry not to pay for my film."
"After suffering a major blow, I was depressed for a long time."
"After filming "Ten Brothers" in 1995, no one dared to ask me to make a movie."
"There is no place for me in Xiangjiang, so I can only return to the city of my birth to start a business.
“I have done beauty shops, fashion shops, karaoke shops, real estate, etc.
"I'm actually not good at business management, so in the end everything went bankrupt and I lost tens of millions."
"During the few years of starting my business, I took on two or three TV series from Mainland China and TBV, playing the roles of Xi Shi and Diao Chan.
"But the response was mediocre. I was in a semi-retired state at that time and was already a marginalized person in the entertainment industry."
"After my entrepreneurial failure, I signed a contract with a mainland brokerage company in 2003 and officially made a comeback.
"In 2004, I co-starred in "Fan Mansion Courtyard" with Sun Honglei, Feng Yuanzheng, and Miao Pu.
"In the same year, he starred in "Fengmanlou" with Wu Qilong."
"I thought I could regain my strength, but I still underestimated the power of the Xiang family."
"Xiang Huasheng still refused to let me go. He used his connections within the circle to suppress me and force me to withdraw from the circle."
"In addition, I was already in my mid-thirties at the time, and was past my prime as an actress, so there weren't many roles available to me.
"So I completely quit the entertainment industry and concentrated on developing my beauty career."
"Since 2004, I have never made a movie, and I only occasionally invest in film and television projects, such as the new version of "Water Margin".
"Now do you understand why I don't want to come back?"
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to, but that I have no choice."
"That's one of the reasons."
"There's another reason."
"Look at me, I'm almost 50."
"Beautiful beauty fades with time, fragrance fades away, my time has long passed."
"Also, I'm afraid of growing old, so I put a lot of effort into beauty, which has caused my appearance to change. Many people don't recognize me when I walk on the street.
"I can't face myself being in front of the camera now."
"Lu Xuan, how do you want me to come back? Can you understand my difficulty?".
