Zhang Taisui himself was an example. At that time, he already owned the Sky Entertainment Group, an entertainment empire, but he was still involved in the underground world.
In the end, because of a title that seemed meaningless now, he was hurt and his health and lifespan was affected. Otherwise, with Zhang Taisui's physical fitness, it wouldn't be too exaggerated, but it definitely wouldn't be a problem for him to live three or four times longer than a normal person.
But martial arts experts, their physical fitness and bodily functions were stronger than ordinary people in all aspects. Prolonging one's lifespan was the most basic thing. As long as it was an ordinary martial arts expert, if they kept themselves clean, avoided disputes, and only lived to strengthen their body, it would be easy for them to live over a hundred years.
It was a pity that those who had the strength of martial arts experts would always do things that were different from ordinary people because of their talent in this aspect.
At this time, people's mentality would become completely different.
Take the most ordinary masters as an example. Some of them were lucky enough to be able to make themselves famous in the world of sports by playing boxing matches and fighting. They would then find a peer of similar fame and discuss it with them. They would organize a competition with gimmicks such as the Battle of the Century. The prize money would be hundreds of millions of US dollars. It didn't matter if they won or lost. Everyone would happily flaunt their wealth on the Internet, happy and mischievous.
But as long as they participated in fighting, their bodies would definitely be injured, and these injuries would also have an impact on their later years.
Therefore, although martial arts experts could strengthen their bodies and prolong their lifespan, almost none of them could really live for a long time. The people who participated in this competition were all very beginner level martial arts experts. Once they were a little more powerful, they would be hired by rich people or rich organizations.
Although this was a job that made a lot of money, it was all dangerous work. Almost all martial arts experts of this level would die an unnatural death.
Once they became martial arts experts like Zhang Taisui, they would fight in the underground world for fame. This kind of peak battle almost determined life and death, and even the winner would be seriously injured.
Therefore, any contest at this time would result in both sides suffering.
This was why Zhang Taisui didn't want Xu Yun to be involved with anything in the underground world. He was sure that given Xu Yun's temper and character, he could never stand being provoked for a few times. If someone provoked him once, he might ignore it; if someone provoked him twice, he might tolerate it; if someone provoked him three times, he might tolerate it due to some circumstances and concerns; however, if someone dared to provoke him for the fourth time, he was definitely seeking for death.
Therefore, Zhang Taisui dared to conclude that if Xu Yun was in the underground world, he would definitely be like his father, a warmonger who would not refuse anyone. Sooner or later, he would be at a disadvantage.
As for why he didn't want to be involved with the army, Zhang Taisui naturally didn't need to explain. Back then, Xu Chen was involved with the Dragon Brigade, and in the end, didn't he get into trouble because of the Dragon Brigade?
Once he was involved with the army, things that were originally simple could become complicated, and things that were originally complicated could also become simple. However, he had to bear something called "principles" on his back.
And things like principles would make people feel very uncomfortable.
This was very uncomfortable. If he had to be cautious when doing some simple things, wouldn't that leave a huge loophole for others to exploit? Wasn't Xu Chen's current situation not because of the Dragon Brigade?
To put it bluntly, Zhang Taisui hated the Dragon Brigade very much. If it wasn't because Wang Yi was in the Dragon Brigade, and if it wasn't because of Wan Kuangxiao's face, he wouldn't have given the Dragon Brigade any face back then.
Zhang Taisui was very sure that Xu Yun was a small tree that needed to be fixed. However, he didn't expect that after sending Xu Yun over, he would be fixed too straight. This was something that he couldn't accept.
It was a pity that he couldn't convince Xu Yun to quit at that time … Now, there was even less of a chance, because Xu Yun was already lying in the underworld. Only Zuo Meiyan could help him complete this idea.
As Zhang Taisui's "successor", Zuo Meiyan dragged Xu Yun out of a place where he shouldn't be. Perhaps this was the only thing she could do for Zhang Taisui.
A few years ago, Zuo Meiyan couldn't see any hope at all, but in the past two years, she felt more and more that this matter was reliable.
Now, Zuo Meiyan saw hope in Xu Yun, and this hope was becoming more and more obvious.
After Xu Yun finished reading the entire proposal, he was very satisfied. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that this was definitely the right thing to do. For the sake of Sky Entertainment Group's development, it didn't matter if the initial investment was a bit bigger.
Some things might not be immediately reaped in return, but they could make substantial leaps and bounds in an industry. That was enough.
Xu Yun wasn't a businessman who was eager for quick success. He didn't have a clear idea of how to make money. Moreover, Sky Entertainment Group had already formed its own economic and profit-making system. None of this was something that Xu Yun needed to consider.
Therefore, Xu Yun chose to sign the proposal without hesitation.
His reply to Zuo Meiyan was that no matter the price, they had to sign the contract for the core technology. Then, they had to master and learn it as quickly as possible. Once China had its own technology, all of this would no longer be a problem.
Right now, Hua Xia lacked this kind of learning opportunity. As a nation with the strongest "learning" ability, Xu Yun believed that as long as they were given enough time, Sky Entertainment Group's technology department would be able to learn all of the advanced foreign technology.
By that time, Sky Entertainment Group would have the power to challenge any film and entertainment company in the world. Even the Big Three of Hollywood wouldn't dare to underestimate Hua Xia, right?
However, in the end, all of this had to start from the basics. A good script was the driving force behind everything.
This industry was obviously Hua Xia's weakness. Hua Xia's best scriptwriter could only be described as "so-so" among Hollywood scriptwriters.
How many scriptwriters could be directly labeled as "trash"?
The reason was simple. Scriptwriters didn't make money, so the industry was so depressed. No matter how good an actor or a production unit was, if they didn't have the best script, the film would be trash.
However, the low income of scriptwriters didn't allow them to have a better creative environment. It didn't allow them to have a better creative drive and source. What could they use to create?
The salary of a super A-list actor could take away more than half of the investment of the entire film! All kinds of expenses were needed. In the end, the scriptwriter's money might be a pitiful living expenses.
Look at the treatment of Hollywood scriptwriters, look at the treatment of European scriptwriters, and even look at the treatment of Japanese and Korean scriptwriters. They were completely on the same level as Hua Xia. Scriptwriters in other places were high-class workers, but in Hua Xia, they were low-class workers.
There was no reason for this.
Xu Yun had actually already started to prepare for this. He had started to effectively control the scriptwriter industry. He believed that as long as he gave scriptwriters a good working environment, they would be able to create good stories.
Moreover, there shouldn't be too many restrictions on scriptwriters. Unfortunately, there was no way to solve this problem under the national environment.
Once this problem could be solved, it might usher in a renaissance of the literary era … If even some of the articles written by Mr. Lu Xun were to be "banned," then what else could be written in this era?
In the whole of Hua Xia, there was only one Lu Xun Institute of Literature. However, Mr. Lu Xun's articles were kicked out of the teaching materials … Was it really because the characters he wrote had appeared in this society?
Yes, they had really appeared. Kong Yiji had been resurrected, and with a thesis titled "There Are Four Ways to Write the Character" Hui ", he had been promoted to a professor, transformed into a scholar, and changed into a master of Sinology! He no longer stole books on tenterhooks, but calmly stole articles on the Internet. Not only could he comfortably warm a bowl of wine, but he could also use the temptation of a doctorate director to play the unspoken rules with "Yi."
The poor lackeys of the capitalists had also been resurrected. They put on the hats of experts and beggars, but they still saw that all the rich were docile, and all the poor were barking. They pretended to play some number games, advocating the inevitability and rationality of the price convergence with the American Empire and the wage convergence with the African continent …
In this kind of environment, even Mr. Lu Xun had no way out, let alone the scriptwriters of Hua Xia. If they were not allowed to write, then what was the point of writing? Thus, he could only write crude novels to earn a living.
The regret of literature was that the most basic things were restricted and imprisoned. If there was no freedom of speech, how could an article have a soul?
