"Wang Shuo was originally a member of a privileged family. The TV series 'The Playful Master' featured Wang Shuo, Ye Daying, and Ma Weidu themselves, but that series downplayed the reality. Anyone who lived through that era knows what it was really like." {You can refer to Feng Xiaogang's "Sixth Master," but that's also a weakened version. The reality was an unprecedentedly open and lawless era where privileged children could do whatever they wanted, and nobody cared.}

"Later, society changed. Da Shuo served in the army for a few years, then went to university. After graduation, he worked as an editor, a pharmaceutical representative, and even opened a roast duck restaurant with a friend. He also tried his hand at the clothing business, but lost money on all of them. So he went into writing and became famous overnight."

"Wang Shuo met his wife Shen Xujia in 1984. At that time, Shen Xujia was a student at the Beijing Dance Academy. When they first met, Wang Shuo was not a real writer yet, but had only published some articles while in school. Although he had been a playboy in the past, he didn't have much money and relied on Shen Xujia's financial support to make ends meet. Even so, Sister Shen didn't look down on him. The two were a couple who had been through thick and thin together."

"Sister Shen is a very nice person and gets along well with everyone, but Wang Shuo changed after he became famous. He was always surrounded by young girls, but Sister Shen always thought that Wang Shuo was just playing around. But after Xu Cairen came, things were different."

Liu Pei nodded: "From the very beginning, I felt that Xu Jinglei wasn't a vixen. When Xu Jinglei met Wang Shuo, he was already a relatively well-known writer and screenwriter, and had a small reputation in the entertainment industry. Wang Shuo participated in the planning of the hugely popular TV series 'Aspiration' and the sitcom 'Stories from the Editorial Department.' The two are 16 years apart in age. It's said that she was deeply attracted by Wang Shuo's talent and fame, but that's all just what people say. The truth is that Xu Jinglei used Wang Shuo as a stepping stone."

Zhang Guoli looked at Feng Kuzi: "Old Feng, you know better than anyone what happened after that, right?"

Feng Kuzi gave a wry smile: "Old Zhang, this..."

Chen Daoming glanced at Feng Kuzi: "Old Feng, why are you still being so polite to him when he doesn't even give you face?"

Xu Fan tugged at Feng's trousers sleeve and glanced at Chen Fang, who was looking on with great interest.

Feng Kuzi sighed: "Back then, Wang Shuo was alive and well, and with the influence of the Beijing art circle, he produced many very famous works. Many people were desperate to get into Wang Shuo's circle, including me. In 1985, I went to the Beijing Television Art Center as an intern, working under Xiao Long. I did art design work, but art design is a very basic job. Our circle values ​​background. Director Zhang and Director Chen, you graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and people accepted you after graduation. But someone like me, who just relied on enthusiasm to break into this circle, could only do so by finding a powerful person to support me."

"As you probably all know, and as the media has reported on quite a bit, when I first entered that circle, I was a waiter serving drinks at parties. People in the Beijing circle looked down on me."

Zheng Xiaolong and Zhao Baogang were about to say a few words when Feng Kuzi stopped them.

"Old Zheng, Old Zhao, don't say anything. Now that I've spoken, I'm not afraid of offending anyone. We're all from the same unit. One of you has connections, and the other has your sister-in-law protecting you. What about me? I'm nothing. You looked down on me from the very beginning."

Zhao Baogang rolled his eyes: "Who told you to look like that? How can anyone respect you?"

"Do you think I want to do that? How would I have a chance if I didn't become a lackey? Who would give me a chance?" Feng Kuzi's voice was a little hoarse when he said this.

Everyone's gathered around now. Everyone loves gossip, especially gossip about big shots in the industry.

"Although Wang Shuo did things that sometimes made me want to turn against him, he did give me opportunities. Without him, I wouldn't be the Feng Kuzi I am today."

Shen Fang nodded: "So he really did do you a favor."

Xu Qing rolled her eyes: "I've already repaid all the favors."

"Princess Qing, let me do the talking." Feng Kuzi lit a cigarette.

"In 1994, the year Xu Cai Ren debuted, I gained a lot of fame with the TV series 'A Native of Beijing in New York.' In addition, influenced by the foreign and Hong Kong and Taiwan film markets, many mainland filmmakers also had more ideas at this time."

"In the same year, Huayi Brothers, founded by the Wang brothers Zhongjun and Zhonglei, was established, and my talent was finally discovered. Our collaboration revitalized the mainland film market, and 'Feng's films' became a golden brand. At this time, the 'Beijing circle' became extraordinary, and our circle of friends expanded."

"Xu Cairen's resources have never stopped. After filming 'Love Will Carry On,' 'Spring Subway,' and 'My Beautiful Nostalgia.'"

"Later, Wang Shuo was blacklisted and had to flee abroad. I thought that was the end of it, but then he came back. And what they did after he returned was... well, you know. I thought he had been kind to me, and knowing he was broke, I gave him 50,000 yuan. But I was scolded and sent back. Who knew he'd actually moved into Xu Cai Ren's house and they were living together? He still hasn't divorced Chen Jie, all this shady stuff. He's being supported by that woman. Wang Shuo has fallen so low... sigh..."

"And then, you all know what happened to them..."

"Tsk tsk, she's got quite a story. This Xu Cai Ren is really a high-level green tea." Shen Fang was greatly shocked. He had seen this story online in his previous life, but he never expected it to be like this.

"Although Consort Xu is supporting Wang Shuo, she hasn't done it for nothing. She still enjoys the resources of the Beijing entertainment circle. Now that you're all out there and famous, you all give face to Wang Shuo. Consort Xu has reaped a lot of benefits. Wang Shuo has lost his mind and is beyond saving!!!" Xu Qing said angrily.
