Chapter 83: The Treasure on Top (First Chapter of Bottom Line)

  Upon hearing the big brother's words, Guo Xiaoyu tidied up his clothes and said: "In this world, the truth is often unbearable. Some people can face the truth calmly, like Big Brother, while others become furious when faced with it, like a certain someone..." It was clear that this guy had already forgotten how far he had just retreated.

  The big brother looked at Zhang Lanxin with a face full of anger, then looked at Guo Xiaoyu with a provocative expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "You two just met today, how did you start fighting?"

  "Blame his sharp tongue..."

  "Blame her for having long legs but no brains..."

  "I'm going, this is completely a false accusation." Guo Xiaoyu said: "As a good man of the new era like me, a five-good student in my school days, I have always been honest and treated others with sincerity. Only to some long-legged and brainless guys would I seriously point out their shortcomings. Who knew that this long-legged and brainless guy was also a violent fanatic, directly taking action... it's really a sin... a sin..."

  "Y-you..." Zhang Lanchen felt like her brain had frozen, pointing at Guo Xiaoyu but unable to speak for half a day. She was pulled away and couldn't hit Guo Xiaoyu, so she could only sit down huffing with anger.

  At this time, a big brother next to him said to Guo Xiaoyu: "Letting a beauty get so angry is not what a gentleman should do!"

  Guo Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said, "Being a gentleman is a man's patent, I'm just a boy! Boys are meant to make beautiful girls angry. No... it means pointing out the shortcomings of brainless girls."

  "Ha ha, you..." The big brother pointed at Guo Xiaoyu and burst out laughing.

  After a while, Big Brother said again: "Xiaoyu, can you tell me how you knew the plot just by one name?"

  "What for?" Guo Xiaoyu pointed to his own brain and said, "Based on experience and imagination."

  "Experience? Imagination?"

  "Right!" Guo Xiaoyu nodded and said: "I've done a lot of research on Brother's movies, and I found that the plot of Brother's movies is actually very simple. It's about heroes, a concept similar to Western superheroes. This concept was perfectly embodied in Brother's 'New Police Story' a few years ago. The story of a person who was originally a superhero but became a loser due to some problems and then regained his status as a superhero. Today's 'The Twelve Zodiacs' is also such a story, where Brother, who was originally a superhero among the tomb raiders, became a traitor in the tomb raiders due to some things, and finally became a positive hero again. This is the main thread of Brother's movies over the years."

  After listening to Guo Xiaoyu's words, the older brother fell silent for a long time before saying: "Actually, I discovered this problem you mentioned very early on, but didn't know how to change it. This time with 'The Twelve Zodiacs', I formed a team of cultural relic thieves in order to seek a breakthrough. But after hearing what you just said, I feel like I've been led astray again."

  Big Brother looked at Guo Xiaoyu, expectantly saying: "Xiaoyu, since you can see the problem, do you have a solution?" The people around them, including Zhang Lanchen, were also drawn in by their conversation and stared at Guo Xiaoyu.

  "Really!" Guo Xiaoyu took a deep breath and looked at his older brother, saying: "Actually, big brother, you have a friend who has set an example for you."

  "Who?"

  "Star Master!" Guo Xiaoyu said slowly: "In recent years, Star Master has also been seeking a breakthrough. 'CJ7' is a very typical example. In CJ7, Star Master put most of the shots on the child and that doll, Star Master only played a supporting role, but still, 'CJ7' was a huge hit."

  "But..."

  Without waiting for Lan Xin to interrupt, Guo Xiaoyu continued: "But this one doesn't work on Big Brother. As long as there's action scenes, Big Brother's light is too dazzling, but if we don't film action scenes, it will lack Big Brother's characteristics. So, only the last way is left..."

  "What is it?"

  Looking at his brother's eager eyes, Guo Xiaoyu spat out four words: "Behind the scenes."

  "Behind the scenes?"

  "Right!" Guo Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Hiding behind the scenes, being a director, producer, action, all of these are possible."

  The older brother looked at Guo Xiaoyu, sighed and said: "Although I also know that what you said is very right, but as an actor, having filmed for so many years, it's still a bit hard for me to accept retiring from the screen all of a sudden."

  Looking at the big brother's somewhat despondent appearance, for a moment everyone didn't know what to say, only Guo Xiaoyu's cheap mouth opened: "Big brother, have you ever thought that as long as you shoot your own style of action movie, there will still be countless audiences. Even Rambo has so many viewers, let alone you. Since we can't change it, then let's just not change it and keep shooting our own movies."

  The big brother looked at Guo Xiaoyu, after a while, patted his shoulder and said: "Xiaoyu, the future belongs to you." After finishing speaking, the big brother handed the script to Guo Xiaoyu's hand and said: "Guo Xiaoyu, I sincerely invite you to participate in 'The Twelve Zodiac', playing the role of Simon."

  "Why Not" Guo Xiaoyu smiled and took over the script.

  "Xiao Yu, at the beginning of the year when we're filming our movie, you must make time for it!"

  "Must be!" Guo Xiaoyu snapped his fingers and said, "At your beck and call!"

  "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." After saying that, he pulled Guo Xiaoyu away.

  Afterwards, Guo Xiaoyu only found out that his big brother had been planning to turn against him the moment he put down the script. Big brother had sworn that no matter how excellent or formidable Guo Xiaoyu was, he would not give him a chance. But for some unknown reason, big brother stayed behind. When big brother saw Guo Xiaoyu's expression, full of vigor and vitality, he couldn't help but think of his own youthful self facing Mr. Zhu, with the same spirit and momentum. So big brother decided to give Guo Xiaoyu a chance. As it turned out, every word Guo Xiaoyu said afterwards directly pierced big brother's heart. Big brother discovered that this young man was even more formidable than he had been in his youth, and he didn't mind helping the kid out - after all, people get older and become more appreciative of talent!

  At this moment, Guo Xiaoyu didn't have many thoughts, he was arguing with Zhang Lanchen on one hand and chatting with his brother about some messy things. Xie Na even crazily exposed Guo Xiaoyu's 20-year sleeping god career from start to finish, making his brother laugh loudly, which also became the reason for Zhang Lanchen to despise Guo Xiaoyu for a long time.

  After dinner, Guo Xiaoyu and his elder brother exchanged contact information, and the elder brother even promised to attend Guo Xiaoyu's performance at the Fast Boy finals.

  On the way back to the hotel, Guo Xiaoyu grabbed Xie Na and asked, "Sister Na, shouldn't you explain things to me now?"

  "It's actually very clear, I don't believe you don't know." At this time, that sister was completely different from her usual cheerful and smiling self.

  Looking at her sister, Guo Xiaoyu was at a loss for words for a moment.

  Indeed, when Xie Na said that sentence, Guo Xiaoyu understood it very well. The lesson from "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was really too profound, and the TV station's high-level move this time must be significant. Zhao Youze signed himself with such excellent conditions, definitely under great pressure. And the people behind Zhao Youyun are equivalent to putting the treasure on Guo Xiaoyu, obviously Xie Na is one of them.
