"Let me tell you, there aren't many people left who can sing Canglan Opera. A lot of them have changed careers." Li Wushuang said with a helpless expression.
"Changed careers? Why did you change careers?" Li Tian looked at his younger brother in confusion.
"If we don't change careers, we'll starve! Our family is only surviving because of the money you give us, otherwise we'd probably have to change careers too!"
"Your parents used to say you weren't doing anything productive, but they've changed their minds. During the years you were hospitalized, all the royalties from those songs ended up in our hands! That partner was really righteous in that respect!"
Li Tian knew his younger brother was talking about Ah Xing; it seemed this kid actually had a conscience.
At the time, I didn't tell Ah Xing about my family background; I just had someone transfer money to an account every month.
I never expected that Ah Xing would still persist in doing this after I got into trouble. It seems that I made a good friend.
However, Li Tian was still somewhat surprised to hear from his younger brother that their parents' attitude had changed.
He had no idea what had happened over the years, since his parents had often spoken harshly to him.
How could it have caused such a big change in the parents?
"My money? How much is that?" Li Tian knew that the copyright fees back then were not high.
"A few dollars? It's obviously not worth much in your eyes, you big star, but do you know what? Bro, it's this few dollars that supports our entire opera troupe!"
Li Wushuang sighed with regret when the topic came up, and he also sighed helplessly when he thought about his friends who had changed careers over the years.
Li Tianzhen never expected that Canglan Opera would fall into such a state of decline. Back when she was a child, Canglan Opera was very popular.
But unexpectedly, it is about to be eliminated by the times, which Li Tian also regrets.
"How are Mom and Dad doing now? How is the opera troupe doing?"
"My parents are in good health. Thanks to you, the opera troupe has been preserved, but we're barely making ends meet now!"
"I never imagined things would change so much over the years. I remember Canglan Opera was quite popular when I was a kid, but now it's fallen to this state. Oh, right, doesn't the government provide any subsidies?"
At this moment, Li Tian recalled that when he was on Earth, the country provided subsidies and protection for local operas.
I don't know if Canglan has protected these traditional cultures.
"Hehe, yes, of course we have. But what does that have to do with us? The lion's share doesn't end up in the hands of us poor folks! Your brother's basic salary is only 1500 now. Tell me, do you expect me to support three children with that little money?"
Speaking of this, Li Wushuang was also very angry, as the country allocates a large amount of money to subsidize them every year.
But what about the money?
Every year there are this award and that award, and countless new plays are created, but these people at the bottom of society don't see any money.
In my dad's words, if we held two fewer seminars a year, we could support an entire opera troupe.
After listening to his younger brother's words, Li Tian felt helpless. This kind of thing happens everywhere, and there's nothing he can do about it.
In the end, it's very likely that all that's called national culture will just remain in textbooks!
"Huh? You have three kids now?" Li Tian stopped talking about this heavy topic and instead thought of what his younger brother had said earlier.
"Hmm! How about it? Aren't you envious?" Li Wushuang said with a smug look on his face.
Your younger brother already has three children, and you, the eldest brother, are still single!
Li Tian glanced at the car and saw that only Adan was in it, and said, "Well, I have both a son and a daughter now, so don't brag about that to me!"
"What?" Li Wushuang looked at Li Tian in surprise and said, "Really? Don't try to prove yourself by pretending to be something you're not! Or are you still sick and talking nonsense?"
Li Tian glanced at his younger brother smugly and said, "How could this be fake? It's just that their identities are not simple!"
"Is Huang Yiyi really your daughter?"
"Hmm, how did you know?" Li Tian looked at his younger brother with some surprise.
"Nonsense, we have internet where we are! Now everyone online is saying that Huang Yiyi is your and Huang Yin's daughter. What? Did she also give birth to your son?"
At this moment, Li Wushuang also started gossiping. If her parents knew about this, they would be overjoyed.
"She didn't give birth to him!"
Li Tian didn't say much, after all, this wasn't a good place to talk.
"Not her child?"
This time, Li Wushuang was even more surprised. Her brother was actually having affairs with other women!
As everyone says, the entertainment industry is incredibly chaotic.
Now we can see the whole picture from my older brother's actions; he's quietly gained both a son and a daughter.
"Alright, I'll explain everything to you in detail when we get back to the hotel!"
Seeing Li Tian like this, Li Wushuang instantly realized that his older brother was a celebrity.
Besides myself, there's also a female driver here, so naturally I can't tell everyone about such a confidential matter.
Huh?
Female driver?
Could it be that this guy was also taken down by his older brother?
But this female driver is old enough to be your daughter, okay?
As expected, men will always prefer eighteen-year-olds. It seems my older brother has good taste.
Li Tian, unaware of what his younger brother was thinking, asked, "How many people are left in the opera troupe?"
"Our opera troupe is relatively well-preserved. Last year, we even merged with the Ma family's opera troupe! Now we probably have less than fifty people!"
"They merged the Ma family's opera troupe? Wait, I remember we were mortal enemies with the Ma family when we were kids? How come they merged their opera troupe?"
