Chapter 383 "Grave Robbers 2: The Eight Generals"
On the other hand, Lin Susu and Zhuang Chen were doing quite smoothly.
Ti Jiang and his men showed up here simply because they had their eyes on the pair of bronze cups in question, so they all went out to take over the business of another gang leader who also coveted the pair of bronze cups, taking the opportunity to get close to the rich man who owned the pair of bronze cups in question, and then planned to collect money from both sides and fill their own pockets...
Since it was premeditated, the plan was naturally one thing after another: Tijiang first took over the business of the gang leader, and then pretended to be a working team through the gang leader's channels, waiting for the target person, the rich man, to fall into the trap.
The world is much more peaceful now than before, so the identification of the ownership and tracing of antiques have become much stricter. Although Kuang Lao is in Southeast Asia, he also wants to ship this pair of bronze cups to North America and sell them for a good price.
After the tycoon is led to find the fake working team, they will steal the antiques and replace them with real ones during the transportation process, and then escape in time. In this way, when the tycoon finds that his antiques are missing, he can only trace them back to the gang leader. By the time the two of them have finished fighting and found out the truth, their team has already disappeared to who knows where in the world...
Unfortunately, despite all their calculations, they were still one step short of the mark. This swindler and the gang leader were old comrades who had turned from bandits to volunteers to fight against aggression. When they were young, they had fought together against the Japanese invaders. Later, they were separated by the war. It would have been better if they had not met. As soon as they met, they recognized each other's identities during the fight. So, the two "victims" who were both deceived, cooperated angrily and sent people to hunt down these con men.
The general who was staying in the civilian area was throwing "pineapples", while the other generals were fighting with swords and axes.
The leader on this side is Li Xuexiang's veteran Qin Huang, who looks like a chubby good guy, but he plays the role of the "wind general" who is specifically responsible for keeping an eye on the situation and collecting information.
Qin Huang was a student of Jiayi in his early years. He played the role of an old naughty boy in Jiayi's versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes". After Jiayi went bankrupt, he was discovered by Li Xuexiang and joined Zhao's company. He signed a contract with TBB and starred in many Zhao's movies and TBB TV series. He has excellent acting skills and can blend into any drama harmoniously. He is a typical supporting actor.
In addition to the above-mentioned factors, Su Yun chose him because his chubby figure but flexible movements create a funny and humorous contrast, which is the same as Wang Zheng's guest role as "Escape", which also requires flexible skills.
In view of the need for this kind of humorous and funny street fighting action scenes, Su Yun also invited Hong Ganbao to be one of the action directors: Now the cooperation between Zhao and Jiahe is good, and Hong Ganbao's independent company is a member of Jiahe Satellite Company, so they also have a cooperative relationship.
Hong Ganbao is a fat man who values loyalty. He had trained Su Yun with Lu Shaolong in the past, and both of them had lived in Jiahegan before. Considering these origins, he came here without saying a word when he received the news.
Of course, he also wanted to come over to repay Su Yun and learn from her - he and Chen Xuanlong had also been holding their breath to make a splash in Hollywood, and the "Fast Food Trucks" that Su Yun had suggested before did quite well in Hollywood, which could be considered a revenge for their past mistakes.
The two sides hit it off immediately as they each got what they wanted. Hong Ganbao quickly choreographed a rather interesting street fighting action scene for Su Yun based on the plot and environment.
This action scene, which makes people smile every three seconds and laugh out loud every ten seconds, ends with Zhuang Chen appearing in a fake identity and snatching these "Chinatown troublemakers" from the hands of the enemy in the name of the North American Chinatown boss.
Seeing Zhuang Chen, played by Zhuang Long, look like a gentleman in a dark suit at first glance, but his words and deeds reveal the demeanor of a powerful boss... Lin Qingxia couldn't help but sigh: Only those who truly love him can capture his most handsome look every time.
The feeling of watching it at the shooting site and on the big screen is different. The big screen is a magic mirror that reflects the good and the bad. The atmosphere that can be created by combining light and shadow, background music and the best shooting angle is definitely not comparable to that created by watching the shooting from the sidelines.
Watching Zhuang Long's chic performance on the big screen, Lin Qingxia was once again filled with admiration: "The Lost Tomb 1" made Zhuang Long's windbreaker popular, and now that "The Lost Tomb 2" is out, I'm afraid it will also bring about a craze for Zhuang Long's suits...
"But this time, due to Mary's work schedule, most of the filming was directed by Director Lee?" Keanu, who was sitting next to him, was a little puzzled. "And are you sure that even if Mary ordered John to be filmed to be very handsome, the real reason was that she really liked him, not to promote the product?"
"Shut up!" When he was daydreaming about the couple, his fantasy was ruthlessly shattered. Even his partner had no time to say anything. Lin Qingxia immediately turned around and glared at him.
Although Su Yun has opened a clothing brand together with her sisters and friends, and the "Grave Robbers" series of commercial films does have the intention of promoting products and washing away the ugly Western stereotypes, CP fans always need to have some dreams!
Although Su Yun and she were also given several sets of newly designed women's clothing based on their own personal characteristics, ranging from sportswear to casual wear to formal wear and dresses...
However, in the eyes of CP fans, the same brand means the same style, and the same style means couple outfits!
After realizing this, Lin Qingxia started to comb her hair again, and continued to focus her attention back on the big screen.
After Zhuang Chen, Lin Susu's group joined with Zhuang Ni and Qing Xia's group, Zhuang Chen went up to the senior general and apologized to them honestly, saying that he was still young at the time and had acted on impulse, so he had let them down and that he had come to sincerely apologize.
"Forget it. I was obsessed at the time. I felt that cooperating with the government would give me less freedom and more constraints, so I severed ties with your Zhuang family and took my people to Southeast Asia... Now it seems that the government has done a pretty good job in recent years." Ti Jiang was an old man who had personally experienced troubled times and wars and had witnessed the period of political chaos. So when Zhuang Chen proposed cooperating with the government, he showed the greatest distrust.
At that time, Zhuang Chen had just become the head of the family and his foundation was not stable. Although he narrowly defeated him in the competition with his intelligence and wisdom, he also thought of a way to cut off the source of the problem. Not only did he not bow to Zhuang Chen as stipulated in the bet, but he relied on his seniority and foundation to take away the other six generals to set up a new family.
Unfortunately, all subsequent facts have proved that the era of rapid development is no longer suitable for old-fashioned thinking. Although they have the knowledge and skills passed down by their ancestors, they will gradually be defeated by various high-tech electronic products.
So this is the fundamental reason why General Ti finally gave up the struggle and decided to reunite the Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates, who had been separated and developed in two places for many years.
Secondly, the fact that the authorities can contact and trust him has undoubtedly given him a shot in the arm, and he is no longer afraid that he and his juniors will be treated differently by the authorities.
"It's not as good as you think now, but it's definitely not as bad as you thought before." Zhuang Chen smiled and briefly explained to the general and others the main business of the Zhuang family in recent years. "Basically, it's to identify and track down antiques, and when normal negotiation methods can't achieve the expected results, we will go out and secretly take back what belongs to us."
"And most importantly, our public identities are recognized and protected by the law." When Zhuang Chen said this, the eyes of Ti Jiang and others lit up.
As members of the Thousand Doors, they have countless fake identities, but the only thing they lack is their "real identity" that allows them to walk openly in the sun.
If you are alone, it may not be a problem, but everyone has reached a certain age, and most of them don’t have many relatives or friends. If you don’t have a stable life to cultivate the next generation of successors, this bloodline may be cut off in your hands.
Whether it's your own biological child, adopted from a distant relative, or adopted through an opportunity, you need to have at least one.
Otherwise, in this vast world, no one in the martial arts world would ever know the legend of the Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates.
Although everyone thought so, the general still snorted in a very arrogant manner: "Forget it, for the sake of your grandfather and your second uncle, let's just treat the past as chalk writing and erase it."
"You're right." Zhuang Chen smiled politely.
In the days before the exhibition started, everyone divided the work and followed the instructions of the detector to find several problematic antique objects in various ways.
By the way, they also joined forces to resolve the joint pursuit of the gang bosses and tycoons.
Zhuangni is young and likes to listen to stories. Sometimes, when Qingxia dislikes him for being a hindrance in work and doesn't take him out, he will come to Tijiang to listen to his stories. At the same time, he also helps take care of Tijiang, whose body is relatively weak due to the effects of radiation.
"Your second uncle, to be more precise, is your grandfather's distant cousin. You should call him second uncle..." Ti Jiang smoked a pipe, and his thoughts seemed to go back many years ago. "We formed a raiding team with a group of foreign soldiers. He joined later, so he looked much more energetic than us old soldiers who had been worn out by the war..."
"Your grandfather is a genuine Zhuang family member, and is well versed in Qimen Bagua, Five Elements, and Numerology. Your second uncle, perhaps because of his impure bloodline, was unable to learn the Zhuang family's heritage, but instead learned some foreign technology."
"In addition to technology, his occupancy and intuition are also very sharp. When we were trapped and trying to escape, he was the first one to discover the Tomb of the Goddess..." General Ti sighed, "Originally he thought it was very dangerous and told us not to go in, but at the time the pursuers were right behind us, so we had no choice but to take the risk and go in and give it a try..."
Johnny nodded thoughtfully: People who are good at divination and intuition generally never guess their own ending.
And what Ti Jiang said later also verified Johnny's guess: after encountering danger again in the Tomb of the Goddess, his second uncle stayed underground forever in order to let his grandfather and Ti Jiang and several other comrades escape from the Tomb of the Goddess.
"Maybe it's because you're mixed blood. You really look like him." General Ti looked at Johnny again. "I and your elder could live and die together. I hope you two brothers can also inherit the emotional heritage of our Thousand Gates and Eight Generals and let the things of our ancestors be reborn again."
"We'll try our best." Johnny nodded seriously.
"That's good." The general nodded with satisfaction, and then moved closer to him, "By the way, although I don't mind the pairing of an older woman and a younger man, your performance during this period... is really a bit worse than your brother's."
Johnny was once again looked down upon for his age and experience. He immediately said in dissatisfaction, "No, my elder brother's progress is about the same as mine!"
"Are you sure?" Seeing his face shining brightly in the afterglow of the evening, Ti Jiang pointed his finger at the two silhouettes in the distant corridor, "They just came back not long ago."
Johnny looked in the direction he was directed, feeling somewhat indignant, and saw the two silhouettes leaning against each other, looking quite intimate.
"Maybe it's just a problem with the shadows. In fact, the two people don't..." Johnny was still trying to save his face by being stubborn, but before he could finish his words, the pair of shadows leaning against each other changed.
Stunned, he watched as the short-haired shadow forcefully embraced the long-haired shadow and kissed him, with an overbearing attitude as if he wanted to skin and bone the other person and eat him... Johnny finally turned his gaze to the other side silently: Is this the adult world?
