Chapter 559 Goodbye Li Qingshan
Seeing this face, Chen Ling was rarely surprised.
"Li Qingshan??"
Changing faces has always been Chen Ling's strong point. He has seen countless people shocked by this smooth "face-tearing transformation". Unexpectedly, he became the one who was shocked today. Similar skills, the same method, Chen Ling suddenly felt like he was looking in the mirror.
"Brother Lin, you really hit hard..." Li Qingshan felt the oppression brought by the black muzzle and spoke helplessly.
"Why are you here? No... How did you recognize me?"
Chen Ling suddenly remembered that when he met Li Qingshan before, he used the face of "Chen Ling", and now it has changed to "Chen Yan". It stands to reason that even if Li Qingshan is here, he can't recognize it, and he suddenly became a little alert.
"I didn't recognize you at first, but when I was in Liuzhen, I noticed a small blue flower on the corner of your robe." Li Qingshan said truthfully, "I made most of my robes myself, and I used this method to repair them when they were torn before, so I remember these details very clearly... Although your face doesn't match the previous one, the robe is definitely yours, so I thought you probably changed your face... However, before I could find you to confirm, you turned around and pointed the gun at my head." Li Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and seemed to be frightened by Chen Ling. "Brother Lin, your anti-reconnaissance ability is really a bit abnormal." Chen Ling was stunned for a long time before accepting the fact that the man in front of him was really Li Qingshan. "Is it really you?" Chen Ling put down the gun in his hand and said in surprise, "But...but why are you here?"
"That's a long story." Li Qingshan leaned against the wall, with memories in his eyes.
"The last time we met, it should be in Liuzhen? Yes, I remember getting the invitation letter from the actor Wuming at that time, and then went to listen to a song "Picking the Pulley", but as I listened, I seemed to feel a vermilion star calling me, and then I remembered everything...
After I woke up, the stage was gone, and the chair was gone. I sat on the stone pier, and it seemed like I sat there for a long time... Later I wanted to find you, but I couldn't find you in the whole Liuzhen, so I thought you should have left."
Chen Ling also recalled the scene when the brothers took advantage of Li Qingshan's sleep and directly emptied the stage and left him alone in the wilderness, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"So in the end, you successfully stepped onto the God of Drama?"
"Well... I saw a God of Drama extending from the vermilion stars to my feet, so I stepped on it, and then I learned something." Li Qingshan pointed to his face and smiled slightly,
"Brother Lin, now I can do the same thing as you."
Chen Ling raised his eyebrows, "...That may not be the case."
"Anyway, I kept looking for you later, and then the Huadu Financial Group contacted me to sign a contract and wanted to send me to the main city for development."
Chen Ling remembered that Li Qingshan had told him about this at the time. After he had a falling out with the first "open audition" of the Huadu Financial Group, Zong Wen specially sent a special selection team from the main city. Li Qingshan and Liu Qingyan both passed in the end, but when he entered the Huadu Financial Group as a special envoy of the Golden Club, he only saw Liu Qingyan and did not find any trace of Li Qingshan.
"Then what?"
"Then I signed... You know, I've always wanted to go to the main city to learn and sing opera, otherwise I wouldn't have participated in the selection for so many years." Li Qingshan's expression became increasingly complicated. "I've always heard that the main city is flourishing, and many famous senior actors are here, but after coming here, I found that things are not what I thought...
Most of those seniors no longer accept apprentices, and even if I wanted to learn, the contract with the Huadu Consortium has always restricted me, arranging countless performances for me every day. At that time, I had to sing for seven or eight hours a day, from morning to night. By the evening, my voice was hoarse from singing. I felt like I had completely become a tool for them to make money.
And there were fewer and fewer people in the main city who liked to listen to opera. No matter how much I sang, I couldn't make much money. What's more, all the money ended up in the pockets of the Huadu Consortium. In the end, I couldn't even afford to eat. "
Chen Ling had seen the means of exploitation by the Huadu Consortium, and she could imagine how miserable Li Qingshan was at that time...
Although Liu Qingyan also had a contract, her appearance and dance could be accepted by the public in the main city of Hongchen, forming a trend, but Li Qingshan did not have this advantage. If Liu Qingyan represented the top of Hongchen Entertainment at that time, Li Qingshan was undoubtedly the bottom, with no name or money, and could only become a performance tool ruthlessly exploited by capital.
"It's not just me who was exploited. 70% to 80% of the artists under Huadu Group were in the same situation as me... I also knew a few friends in the group. Most of them supported each other through that difficult time.
Later, Huadu Group collapsed. I was lucky enough to be noticed by Huang Group and signed a new contract with them. Life finally got better.
But most of my friends were deceived by Beidou Group and signed. Beidou Group was even more outrageous. Before signing, they said something nice, such as high profit margins. As a result, the profit margins were indeed high, but they also set targets. Only when you earn a certain amount of money can you get a share. If you don't make enough money, you will owe the group money according to the contract...
In the past six months, not only did they not make any money, but their debts were increasing. They were even forced to sell their ancestral homes in their hometowns. Some of them also complained to the relevant departments, but the people in these departments had already He was colluding with Mu Chunsheng and didn't care about their life or death. "
There was a rare hint of anger in Li Qingshan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice,
"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, I really can't bear to see them suffer like this... They are just like me, they just like opera or performance. They come here to realize their dreams and should not be treated like this...
So, I want to do something for them. "
After hearing this, Chen Ling finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Li Qingshan is warm-hearted and has his own set of principles for doing things. At that time, Chen Ling lost all his skills and fainted in the forest. Li Qingshan, who had never met him before, rescued him without hesitation, took him home, cooked for him, and made room for him to stay... like this If a person were placed in ancient times, he would definitely be able to bear the word "gentleman".
With his friends in dire straits, Li Qingshan finally chose to take risks on his own, looking for a way to help them get out of trouble.
"Then you sneak into the Beidou Consortium..."
Li Qingshan opened his mouth and lowered his tone unconsciously, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"I...I know it's not a good idea to do this, but I want to find those contracts of the Beidou Consortium and burn them."
