Speaking of which, recently, a TV series called "Flowers" has become crazy popular on major platforms, just like the storm on the beach in Shanghai. This drama is the hard work of director Wong Kar-wai. It is set in the charming Shanghai and tells a love story that spans more than half a century. It is just like the rolling Huangpu River, majestic and sentimental.
In this drama, many stars such as Huang Xiaoming and Liu Shishi are all starring, but the most attractive one has to be the "Mr. Fan" played by Dong Yong. Mr. Fan immediately caught everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared on the scene, not only because of his majestic aura, but also because of his humorous and witty character. He is simply a character in this drama. Big living treasure.
In the bustling metropolis, a real-life business drama is being staged. The protagonist of this play is "Mr. Fan" from Hangzhou, a businessman with a rather cunning atmosphere.
Mr. Fan, the king of mercerized cotton T-shirts in Hangzhou, has been looking for opportunities to make his brand skyrocket.
And when he set his sights on the prosperous Shanghai and locked on the powerful "Mr. Bao", his business sense told him: The opportunity is here!
Sure enough, after some clever maneuvers and in-depth negotiations, "Mr. Bao" agreed to help "Mr. Fan"'s "Sanyang Brand" develop in Shanghai. The conditions are quite simple: "Mr. Fan" only needs to produce a total of 800,000 pieces of clothing as agreed.
However, just two days after the deal was concluded, news came like a bolt from the blue - "Mr. Bao" was in a car accident! This is undoubtedly a sudden business earthquake for "Mr. Fan".
It is an eternal truth that businessmen value profits. "Mr. Fan" is naturally no exception.
He anxiously searched around for news about "Mr. Bao", feeling worried and worried at the same time. He is worried about the safety of "Mr. Bao", and even more worried about his own business and his future path to fame.
"Mr. Fan" who first arrived in Shanghai looked like a proud peacock in front of the Jin Meilin Building, showing off his deep friendship with "Mr. Bao". Of course, there was a bit of vulgarity and charlatanism in his words, which made "Ms. Wang" who was familiar with "Mr. Bao" frown.
When "Mr. Fan" learned that "Mr. Bao" had originally planned to set his purchase price at 25.5, he instantly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. How is this possible? It will be released soon, but "Mr. Bao" has not shown up yet, and even "Miss Wang" has gone to sing with Huang Maomao!
However, the shrewdness and flexibility of businessmen are fully demonstrated in "Mr. Fan".
In 1968, in the picturesque city of Hangzhou, a little boy named Dong Yong was thriving. He is not the kind of well-behaved child. On the contrary, he is a little naughty boy who is not afraid of anything. He gets a blank in the exam? Hey, that's his daily routine!
Dong Yong's parents looked at him like this and knew in their hearts that this child was probably not suitable for the path of entering college. So, they started planning for Dong Yong's future early. When Dong Yong was 10 years old, they decided to let him learn Peking Opera. Even though young Dong Yong found it extremely hard, his family was still determined to let him study as a martial arts student for 7 years.
In the past seven years, Dong Yong suffered a lot, but he also met a like-minded classmate-Tu Honggang. The two learn, compare and grow together. After graduating from the Academy of Opera, Dong Yong was assigned to work at the Peking Opera Company, which was an enviable "iron rice bowl" at the time.
However, Dong Yong felt that such a life was like a pool of stagnant water. He longed for a broader world and wanted to pursue his artistic dream. So, he came up with a plan: Why not act? Once this thought came up, it never went away. The year
entered the theater, Dong Yong was invited to star in "Yue Yun".
With his solid martial arts skills in Peking Opera, his performance won unanimous praise from the director and the audience. From then on, he was very busy acting and singing at the same time.
However, as time passed, Dong Yong found that the time conflict between the two became more and more serious. He was caught in a dilemma: Should he continue to live in the theater and live a stable life? Or go ahead and pursue your acting dream?
In the end, Dong Yong resolutely chose the latter. He quit his theater job and officially became an actor. Although most of the invitations he received at the beginning were from martial arts, he was not discouraged. Because he knows that this is the only way to his dream.
In this way, Dong Yong gradually emerged in the entertainment industry with his own efforts and talents.
One day, the gears of fate suddenly turned. A crew was in urgent need of an actor who could speak fluent Hangzhou dialect, and Dong Yong seized the opportunity like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. With his talent and hard work, he successfully obtained this role and was finally paid 4,000 yuan.
This money was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him at that time, which made his heart feel a little sweet. After
, his career seemed to be going smoothly. In a short period of time, he saved 100,000 yuan. This number is like a pyramid, allowing him to stand at the top, overlooking the world below.
He began to "float", feeling that his opportunities were as numerous as the stars and making money was as easy as picking low-hanging fruit.
So, he began a life of squandering. Shopping has become his new hobby. As long as he likes something, he will buy it without hesitation. He is also staggeringly generous to his friends, as if money is just a passing cloud to him.
Just like that, 90,000 yuan was reduced to nothing due to his squandering.
However, he did not realize the crisis was coming. He proudly returned to his hometown with the remaining 10,000 yuan, as if he were a victorious warrior. However, when he wanted to join the entertainment industry again, he found that no one cared about him.
As time passed, not only did he not get any chance, he could not even pay the phone bill. According to his own recollection, he wanted to act so much at that time that his monthly phone bill was as high as more than 2,000 yuan. This number may not seem like much to him now, but at that time, it was enough to make him feel desperate.
That period was the most difficult time in his life. With only 10 yuan left, even the most basic food and clothing became a problem, let alone paying the rent. The place he rented was called "Shaoyaoju", which was a gathering place for artists, and many actors lived there. However, he was reduced to the point where he could not even afford food.
Fortunately, he was not abandoned by this world. After learning of his plight, those neighbors came to him one after another to lend a helping hand. They often invited him to their home for dinner, which made him feel the warmth of the world. Among them, the one who lives next door to him is Liu Dan, the "Fragrant Concubine" whom we are familiar with.
On a sunny afternoon in 2016, the director of the TV series "Marshal Peng Dehuai" sent Dong Yong the fate-changing invitation. Imagine that that invitation was like a bright star, lighting up his path forward and igniting the passion in his heart.
After all, for any actor, being able to play a great man in history is undoubtedly a supreme honor.
Dong Yong’s parents, two resolute soldiers, upon hearing the news, their eyes shone with pride and expectation. They said to Dong Yong: "Mr. Peng is our hero, you must play him well."
During the words, a kind of power seemed to be passed to Dong Yong, making him strengthen his belief.
And Dong Yong did not live up to this expectation. Like a tireless scholar, he plunged into the vast sea of information. He felt every moment, every emotion, and every decision of Marshal Peng Dehuai with his heart.
In the end, his efforts paid off, and this version of Marshal Peng Dehuai won warm applause and high praise from the audience. This drama even won the Feitian Award for Outstanding TV Drama, putting Dong Yong at the pinnacle of his acting career.
However, just when people expected him to continue writing glorious chapters, Dong Yong chose to retreat.
He never played a leading role again and seemed to disappear from the screen overnight. It turned out that he put his focus on his family and began to enjoy the ordinary and quiet happiness.
In fact, Dong Yong's emotional road is not smooth. He once experienced a failed marriage, which dealt a heavy blow to him and made him depressed for a time. In a later interview, he said frankly: "I didn't want to get married because of this incident."
However, time is the best healing medicine, and the care of his parents, brother and sister-in-law at home also helped him gradually come out of the haze.
As the saying goes: A sister-in-law is like a mother. Dong Yong's sister-in-law is like a caring matchmaker. She introduced her year-end friend Zheng Jiayan to Dong Yong. This gentle and virtuous woman quickly won the love of Dong Yong's family. Dong Yong was also moved by her kindness and gentleness, and the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
Today, he has a wife and daughter, a happy family and a successful career. Whenever he talks about his family, his face is always filled with a happy smile. He said: "I am very content and grateful to fate for bringing me such a good wife and daughter." As for Teacher Zheng, she always supported him silently behind the scenes, using her wisdom and gentleness to support him. A warm home.
