In the spring of 2019, a hundred flowers compete for the season, but a 6-year-old girl at Xiaolong Shaolin Martial Arts School in Dengfeng City, Henan Province, will never have spring.
The girl was sent by her parents to a martial arts school to lose weight, and she did not expect to die in Huangquan.
For a time, the Xiaolong Shaolin Martial Arts School was pushed to the cusp of the storm.
The principal of this school is Chen Tongshan, Shi Xiaolong's father.
Xiaolong Shaolin Martial Arts School is not only named after Shi Xiaolong, but even the spokesperson is Shi Xiaolong.
In the midst of public opinion, Chen Tongshan was only concerned.
It turned out that Chen Tongshan was not only the driving force behind Shi Xiaolong's fame, but also had a wealth of hundreds of millions.
01
Chen Tongshan was born in 1965 in a small mountain village in Dengfeng City, Henan Province.
The father, Chen Chengwen, had high hopes for this son, hoping that he would inherit his father's business and make achievements in martial arts.
This hope and expectation, many years later, Chen Tongshan will be perfectly reproduced to his son Shi Xiaolong.
From the age of 8, Chen Tongshan studied martial arts with his father Chen Chengwen and his uncle Chen Wujing.
Chen Chengwen has studied Shaolin martial arts for many years, and Chen Wujing is even better at Shaolin Dahong Fist, Luohan Fist, Shaolin Stick Technique and so on.
Under the strict teachings of Chen Chengwen and Chen Wujing, Chen Tongshan mastered more than 20 kinds of traditional Shaolin routines and various instruments at the age of 15.
Among them, the Black Tiger Fist is Chen Tongshan's signature.
In 1979, Chen Tongshan took a kung fu with him to participate in the Martial Arts Games in Dengfeng County.
The game was full of masters, but Chen Tongshan lived up to expectations and won the first prize.
Chen Tongshan went home with the trophy, and Chen Chengwen was particularly pleased.
After the first appearance, Chen Tongshan was recruited by the performance team organized by the county sports committee and began to perform martial arts performances throughout the country.
I was out floating all year round, and my days were lonely and hard.
But Chen Tongshan was very capable of carrying, and from the beginning of practicing martial arts, Chen Chengwen taught him: "Those who practice martial arts must be able to eat bitterly." ”
Chen Tongshan can not only bear hardships, but also work very hard.
In just three years, he was transferred by the county sports committee to the county sports school as a martial arts instructor.
That year, Chen Tongshan was only 18 years old.
When his peers were still unemployed, Chen Tongshan had already cultivated many apprentices.
In Dengfeng, Henan, Chen Tongshan soon had his own piece of the world.
In 1985, Chen Tongshan was not willing to work as a martial arts instructor in a sports school, and he transferred to the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School as a teacher.
Here, he won the honorary title of "Top Ten Young Boxers" awarded by the government.
It can be said that 20-year-old Chen Tongshan is already the school's gold medal coach, and everyone wants to worship under his name.
However, at this time, Chen Tongshan still lacked a movable type signboard.
02
In 1988, for Chen Tongshan, it was a double happiness.
While he was promoted to the principal of the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Academy, he also ushered in the birth of Chen Xiaolong.
Looking at Chen Xiaolong, who was waiting to be fed, Chen Tongshan secretly vowed to train his son to be his successor.
Chen Xiaolong had just turned two years old, and Chen Tongshan couldn't wait to start training him.
In order to establish Chen Xiaolong's belief, Chen Tongshan first asked him to worship Shi Yongxin, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, as a teacher and become a Shaolin layman's disciple.
It was also from this time that Chen Xiaolong had the Fa name Shi Xiaolong.
At this point, Chen Xiaolong completely bid farewell to the life of an ordinary child, and he will give all his blood and tears for the name of Shi Xiaolong.
Chen Tongshan's training of Shi Xiaolong was called devil training.
Every day at four or five o'clock, Shi Xiaolong was pulled up from the bed and either ran or practiced the basic skills.
Little Shi Xiaolong would be a child and would resist, but here in Chen Tongshan, training was like a military order, and there was no room for any slackening.
In Chen Tongshan's repeated harsh reprimands, Shi Xiaolong became more and more sensible.
He no longer coddled, but just followed Chen Tongshan, zama steps, practice drunken fist, and practice drunken sword.
It's just that I am still young and often can't understand the essentials of action.
In order to make Shi Xiaolong remember, Chen Tongshan often sat with a stick and stared at Shi Xiaolong.
If Shi Xiaolong's lower waist was not in place, Chen Tongshan would directly press him down regardless of three seven twenty-one.
At that moment, I saw Shi Xiaolong grinning in pain, and bean-sized tears flowing from his eyes, but he didn't cry out in pain or tiredness, he just endured silently.
For a long time, Shi Xiaolong's body did not have a good place, it was all blue and purple, and lying on the bed at night was the pain of drilling the heart.
When the mother saw it, she was heartbroken, but she could not stop Chen Tongshan's obsession with "hoping for a son to become a dragon".
Sure enough, Shi Xiaolong lived up to expectations and quickly won the award.
03
In 1992, at the Zhengzhou International Shaolin Martial Arts Festival in China, 4-year-old Shi Xiaolong won two outstanding awards: Shaolin Tong Arm Fist and Luo Han Stick.
Seeing that Shi Xiaolong began to emerge, Chen Tongshan's ambitions were even greater.
At that time, Chen Tongshan set up a Shaolin martial arts performance troupe to perform all over the country, and naturally took Shi Xiaolong with him.
Who would have thought that a performance in Taiwan would make Shi Xiaolong go to the stars.
At that time, director Zhu Yanping took a fancy to Shi Xiaolong, who was proficient in kung fu at a young age.
He immediately called Wu Dun, the owner of Changhong Film and Television Company, and asked him to sign Shi Xiaolong.
In that era when kung fu movies were popular, Wu Dun smelled the renminbi and called Chen Tongshan.
Unexpectedly, Chen Tongshan refused without saying a word.
Chen Tongshan is a person who learns martial arts and values reputation the most, while Wu Dun is a well-known bamboo gang gangster, and hooking up with him is too risky.
There is no way, Wu Dun, who has eaten the closed door soup, can only find someone to be a lobbyist.
After some searching, Wu Dun found that Jiang Weiguo had received a delegation from the Shaolin Temple and had a relationship with Chen Tongshan.
Finally, under the guidance of Jiang Weiguo, Chen Tongshan agreed to sign Shi Xiaolong to Wu Dun's company.
This year, Wu Dun also signed a child two years younger than Shi Xiaolong, named Hao Shaowen.
These two children, one in one article and one martial arts, one movement and one still, are a perfect combination.
Soon, Zhu Yanping pulled Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen to the crew of "Laughing Forest Boy".
Shi Xiaolong is about to start acting, and Chen Tongshan's requirements are more stringent.
In order to keep an eye on Shi Xiaolong, Chen Tongshan proposed to Zhu Yanping to join the group together.
The filming period of "Laughing Forest Boy" coincided with the hot summer, and the role of Shi Xiaolong was the heaviest.
Shi Xiaolong, who shaved his bald head, was sunburned one day, and a layer of skin was directly sunburned on his head, and that layer of skin was peeled off and could be uncovered all the way to the neck.
Even worse is hanging Weah.
04
In "Laughing Forest Boy", Shi Xiaolong has many shots of flying cornices walking on the wall to perform kung fu.
To complete these shots, you have to hang Weah.
Shi Xiaolong, who had never tried to hang Weiya, was directly frightened and cried when he was first suspended in mid-air.
The martial arts instructor couldn't bear it, so he could only put him down and comfort him.
But Chen Tongshan, with a straight face, sternly said to Shi Xiaolong, "You have to be strong." ”
Shi Xiaolong nodded as he cried.
Soon, Shi Xiaolong, who was hanging Wei Ya, was hung up again, first hitting the wall, and then falling to the ground, repeating it several times, and Shi Xiaolong had already collapsed.
Shi Xiaolong's tears flew onto Zhu Yanping's face, making him unbearable to look up.
Chen Tongshan, on the other side, shouted below: "Shi Xiaolong don't cry, you are a man!" ”
What made Shi Xiaolong most desperate was that after filming his own scene, he also had to help Hao Shaowen shoot the shot of hanging Weiya.
Because Hao Shaowen is relatively fat, hanging Weiya is very hard.
In order to make himself look as fat as Hao Shaowen, when hanging Weiya, Shi Xiaolong also wrapped several layers of bath towels on his body, and after a play, his whole body was soaked.
Several times, Shi Xiaolong cried and didn't want to shoot, and Chen Tongshan was even more fierce, saying over and over again: "You can't do great things without suffering." ”
At that time, Shi Xiaolong had his own dreams, but he was pushed forward by Chen Tongshan.
After "Laughing Forest Boy", Shi Xiaolong was on fire.
Soon, Zhu Yanping prepared a second part - "Laughing Forest Boy 2 New Oolong Courtyard", which was popular across the taiwan strait and three places and became a box office miracle in Taiwan.
These two movies made Wu Dun earn a lot of money.
At that year's celebration party, Wu Dun accepted Shi Xiaolong as a righteous son.
Riding on the wind of the Wulongyuan era, Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen became a combination of Wang Bang, and Zhu Yanping planned one comedy movie after another for them.
These movies, the audience laughed continuously, but for Shi Xiaolong, entering the group was a nightmare.
Shi Xiaolong, who was still young, did not understand what fame and fortune were.
All of his filming remuneration went into Chen Tongshan's pocket, and Chen Tongshan used this money to complete his business dream.
05
In 1998, on the basis of the Shaolin Temple, Chen Tongshan founded the country's first children's martial arts academy and the first children's art troupe, integrating martial arts and art.
Countless parents have brought their children into this school, hoping to create the next miracle of releasing xiaolong.
Chen Tongshan was immersed in his martial arts dreams, and he did not realize that Shi Xiaolong had begun to decline at that time.
In order to maximize the commercialization of the value of Shi Xiaolong, Wu Dun and Zhu Yanping constantly repeat the old routine and produce some shoddy films.
With the decline of Taiwanese films and the aesthetic fatigue of audiences, these films gradually lost their box office.
After filming "Nezha vs. Monkey King", the combination of Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen was officially dissolved, and the era belonging to these two child stars also came to an end.
After so many years of running in the crew, Shi Xiaolong also felt tired, and he wanted to go to school and return to the life of a normal child.
But Chen Tongshan was not happy, he still thought that it was the best choice for Shi Xiaolong to continue to use martial arts to gallop the show business circle.
Therefore, all kinds of commercial performances and bad films, Chen Tongshan let Shi Xiaolong take over.
The money that Shi Xiaolong earned was used by Chen Tongshan to invest.
In 1999, Chen Tongshan spent 50 million yuan to establish "Shi Xiaolong Business Brokerage Co., Ltd." and "Dragon Covenant Martial Arts Club".
When Chen Tongshan expanded his business territory step by step, the smile on Shi Xiaolong's face dimmed a little.
It wasn't until 2003 that the 15-year-old Shi Xiaolong had his first complete rebellion against his father.
He refused the school arranged by Chen Tongshan and chose to go abroad to attend an art high school.
Those years abroad were unprecedentedly easy for Shi Xiaolong.
Escaping from the cage forged by Chen Tongshan, he breathed the air of freedom.
However, after living under the teachings of Chen Tongshan for more than ten years, Shi Xiaolong had long been like an eagle with severed wings, even if the wings were full, he could not spread his wings and fly high like other sound eagles.
06
In 2008, Shi Xiaolong returned to China and threw himself into the show business circle again.
Fa Fu's figure, no longer handsome face, attracted a burst of ridicule.
Shi Xiaolong has no way out, can only lose weight and slim down, hoping to get a piece of the show business circle.
But the reality is very cruel, and the era that belonged to Shi Xiaolong is long gone.
The aura faded, and only a supporting role awaited him.
Looking at such a Shi Xiaolong, I am afraid that no one is more distressed than Chen Tongshan.
Fortunately, Chen Tongshan used the film remuneration earned by Shi Xiaolong in those years to expand his commercial territory steadily.
In 2010, Chen Tongshan established the Xiaolong Film and Television Training Base "Longmen Shijia", focusing on teaching martial arts film and television shooting skills.
From martial arts schools to brokerage companies to training companies, Chen Tongshan has been playing the banner of Shi Xiaolong from beginning to end.
Shi Xiaolong became Chen Tongshan's golden signboard and became his cash cow.
However, if you go this way too much, it will inevitably pit your son.
In 2019, a 6-year-old girl passed away at Chen Tongshan's martial arts school, and Shi Xiaolong, as a spokesperson, was also pushed to the cusp.
Soon, the reporter also found that since the second half of 2018, there have been more than a dozen criminal cases in this martial arts school.
These events made Shi Xiaolong's career worse.
Looking at Chen Tongshan's companies, 7 of them rely on the star effect of Shi Xiaolong to seek benefits.
However, for Shi Xiaolong, Cheng also Chen Tongshan, defeat also Chen Tongshan.
Chen Tongshan pushed Shi Xiaolong to the peak of his life and let him fall to the bottom.
Instead of singing the star path of the decaying dragon, it is better to reflect on the humanity behind the child star.
The life of great popularity may never be what Shi Xiaolong pursues, what he wants is nothing more than an ordinary childhood.
However, Chen Tongshan recognized that he had a talent for martial arts and pushed him down this road.
By chance, Shi Xiaolong bumped into the stars again, fame and fortune, and became popular all over the country.
In the face of the dividends that are within reach of the entertainment industry, Chen Tongshan was dazzled and caught off guard.
Under the greed of human instincts, Shi Xiaolong became a tool for making money.
When Shi Xiaolong is squeezed out of value and lacks long-term planning, his life path will inevitably become narrower and narrower.
In the past thirty years or so, Shi Xiaolong has been carried to the heavens and trampled on the ground, and how much of it is his own choice.
Someone asked Chen Tongshan, "If Xiaolong goes back to the past now, how will you educate?" ”
Chen Tongshan replied: "I will use another way to educate my children." ”
But The little dragon has only this life.
