The discussion between the three people lasted until nearly noon and ended after a phone call.
The caller was Wang Jinghua, who had not been seen for a long time. The most famous gold medal agent in the mainland, he accompanied Liu Qingshan on a trip to Europe and the United States, and then disappeared for a while.
There are dozens of well-known artists under her, and if she only cares about each one for a day, she won't be able to turn them around in a month.
In ten days, she had to gather people in twos and threes to meet them all, and the time was already very tight.
But she had to go to Seattle, because "Late Autumn" is Liu Qingshan's first starring role, and it is an international version. It is his first lifestyle film to be released globally, and it needs to rely on it to compete for various awards.
The place where Wang Jinghua was waiting was the Kyoto International Convention and Exhibition Center. The appointment to meet there was not to attend a conference, but because there was an important guest of hers staying in a nearby hotel.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but the man asked to see Liu Qingshan, so he had to go there in person.
Liu Qingshan is not someone who can come and go as soon as anyone is summoned. It's just that he knows that person and has a pretty good relationship with him.
He is Zhang Bearded, one of the people who admired him very much from the beginning. Wang Jinghua found him because the bearded director Zhang was about to direct another major costume production.
However, Wang Jinghua did not follow him to avoid being misunderstood by Director Zhang. In fact, to be honest, it was not all a misunderstanding. It was just that such blatant use of the back door made both of them look bad.
The reason why she found Liu Qingshan was because Zhang Dabeard said it himself when she met him.
After Liu Qingshan arrived in a hurry, he realized that the person who needed to see him was not Zhang Beard himself, but the old man Jin in Xiangjiang whom he had never met before, a martial arts master at the top level in the Chinese literary world.
This surprised Liu Qingshan. Knowing that Mr. Jin is now eighty years old, why is he still being forced to come to Kyoto?
His full of questions and obvious worry actually made Mr. Jin laugh out loud: "Why does anyone in the mainland look like this when they see me? Is it because they are afraid that I will be knocked apart halfway?"
The old gentleman actually spoke Mandarin very fluently, and even his tone was very authentic.
"Others are also worried about your old health, but at this time it seems to me that many of your peers are far from being in good health at your age!" Liu Qingshan then reacted.
"I know you are very capable in the medical field, but I'm not here to see you. I heard that you found my phone number and wanted to see me when you go to Xiangjiang. But I can't wait. Come on, I can’t wait any longer, so I’ll take the opportunity to chat with you while I’m in Kyoto!”
The old gentleman's words made Liu Qingshan a little bit dumbfounded. He had only obtained the number through Ge Daquan a few days ago, and had planned to visit before returning from abroad.
Unexpectedly, when the other party got the news, he actually came to the door, which made him a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the old gentleman has always been famous for his open-minded and open-minded character, so he spoke for him: "Young people should be busy doing things. Relatively speaking, I am more interested in you. I'm sorry for disturbing your conversation!"
After hearing these words, Liu Qingshan's buttocks that had just landed on the chair immediately bounced up: "I don't dare to apologize to the old man. If the news spreads, it will be difficult to be a good person!"
The old man was still laughing loudly and pointed at the chair, "Sit down quickly. The purpose of coming to you is very simple. I just want to know something about the ancient martial arts world through you. After all, I have written so much, and this is the first time I have met someone." Modern people with skills like Yang Guo and Linghu Chong!"
Listening to the sound of gongs and words, Liu Qingshan immediately heard something from the other party's conversation: "I would like to take the liberty of guessing that the seniors met people who practiced ancient martial arts a long time ago?"
"The little guy really has keen senses," the old gentleman clapped his hands and praised, the joy on his face was definitely not fake, "This reaction ability is indeed different from ordinary people!"
The second half of his sentence was directed at Zhang Dabeard, who immediately took over the conversation: "The old man only revealed this to me today. He had always kept it in his heart, and even his family didn't know about it."
So Zhang Dabeard replaced Mr. Jin and told the secret.
The old man was admitted to the Diplomacy Department of a university in Chongqing in 1944 when he was twenty years old. He was later expelled from school because he was dissatisfied with the behavior of some people in the school and complained to the school.
Later, he worked in a local library. It was during this period that he read a lot of books.
After returning to his hometown after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, he worked temporarily as a field reporter for Southeast Daily in Hangzhou. Taking advantage of a business trip, he quietly went to Shennongjia alone.
The reason why he was willing to take unknown risks and go deep into the primeval forest alone was that he had seen an ancient book written in the early Qing Dynasty, which recorded some folklore and strange people and strange things.
One of the articles talked about a strange lake in the deepest part of Shennongjia. Of course, what he was looking for was not an ancient weapon, because before that, he didn't know any information about ancient weapons.
But he was young at the time and was becoming interested in all kinds of strange and weird beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas. Moreover, once he discovered the legendary existence, it would bring huge benefits to the journalistic industry he was engaged in at the time.
It was precisely this kind of curiosity and the desire to become famous overnight that made him, who was not very physically strong at that time, go into danger alone with only a broad-bladed hatchet when his mind got hot.
It's just that this trip was just like his worst plan before. Not only was the road long and there was no path to follow, the scenery was beautiful enough, but the speed of only moving less than a few miles in a whole day was too slow.
What's even more frightening is that on the fourth day after entering the mountains, he ran out of food, but he didn't even make it one-tenth of the way.
That night he stayed in a natural cave under a cliff. It was impossible to move forward in the primeval forest at night. Not only could he not see the path under his feet clearly, but there were also countless poisonous creatures in almost every corner.
For example, there are poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, and an equally poisonous caterpillar that can be seen everywhere in the mountains.
The reptiles that look disgusting are even more terrifying than the two mentioned above. He once saw with his own eyes the body of a wild wolf that was suddenly caught in the bushes for unknown reasons, and it was covered with dense crawlers. That little caterpillar.
In just twenty minutes, the wolf's body turned into a skeleton, with no trace of red flesh left on it, and it was so pale that it made people feel chilled in their hearts.
At that time, he was hiding on a higher rock. He did not dare to press the camera in his hand while watching the process. He was afraid that after being disturbed by the flash, those scary things would rush toward him, because there was a cliff behind him and he could not escape. There is no escape.
On that night that he remembered deeply, he actually saw a person in the hazy night at the entrance of the cave.
Later he found out that the man was attracted by the fire he lit at the entrance of the cave to stop the wild beasts.
Mr. Liu clearly saw that the man floated down from the cliff more than five meters high outside the cave. When Zhang Bearded said this, the old man specially interrupted and repeated the word "floating" emphatically.
In the middle of the night, there is no light. Even if there is a flickering firelight one meter away in front of me, it will only make the darkness in the distance become even darker.
It could see the man's existence because he was wearing a snow-white robe, and even his shoes, socks, and headband were all white.
And after the man fell down, he just flicked out the fire lit by the old man with a palm of his hand, and spoke a string of difficult Chongqing dialect.
Fortunately, the old gentleman had studied and worked there for a period of time and could barely understand the general meaning.
The general idea of those words is that the effect of using firelight to drive away wild animals in Shennongjia is counterproductive. Instead, it will attract larger predators to watch all night.
The old gentleman's clothes had already been soaked with cold sweat, not only from the fear of lighting the fire, but also from the ghostly figure floating down.
Your outfit is quite strange! This was the first thing the man in his thirties said when he walked into the cave.
Before approaching the mountain, the old man put on a specially prepared military uniform and carefully prepared long riding boots, which were tightly tied to his legs with leggings in order to ward off venomous snakes from the grass in the mountains.
However, you are not dressed like a soldier. How can a soldier dress like you? You don't even know how to protect your neck. No one told you that the venomous snakes hanging on the branches in the mountains are more terrifying?
This was the second sentence she said, and then she stopped talking and just looked at the old gentleman fiercely.
After the old gentleman struggled through the fear some time ago, he took the initiative to find something to say. At the same time, he observed the changes in the expression on the other person's face through the moonlight scattered from the entrance of the cave.
It was only when I heard him talking about the Japanese devils from the small island country outside that they had been driven out of China that I saw the obvious change in the man's expression.
Therefore, the old gentleman who caught this point tried his best to include some rumors about the Anti-Japanese War in the subsequent conversation.
This trick worked as expected, and the mysterious man's attitude gradually relaxed after receiving more and more information from the outside world.
Since it was just the second year after the war, the old gentleman had never seen a real war scene, but there were too many tragic war stories from hearsay, so his account, although not full of emotion, at least gave a detailed description. Wonderful enough.
He kept talking like this for an unknown amount of time, until the sky outside the cave became brighter, and the man spoke again: "Little guy, leave here. That lake is called Xiaojiu Lake, and it belongs to the Shennongjia forbidden area. I'm going there." He also narrowly escaped death.
Mr. Dajiuhu knew that it was located at the junction of Chongqing and Hubei, and was a swamp and mountain basin. He had passed there after entering the mountain.
As the man told further, he learned that his surname was Sun. He hid in the mountains because of the war outside, but not because of the Japanese invasion. It was because of the invasion of the Japanese in the early part of that century, when the Chinese nation was full of revolutionary troops. Son.
They moved their family to a deep mountain and old forest. They were an ancient martial arts family. Their original habitat was also another deep mountain, but it was closer to the secular world and they could occasionally see farmers at the foot of the mountain.
None of the ancestors of the Sun family had tied their hair in the Qing Dynasty. It is conceivable that their hiding place had been quite hidden before.
