Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s another year before the U.S. election.

The 1936 U.S. election can be said to be, apart from the first U.S. election, the least suspenseful U.S. election.

Roosevelt was re-elected as President of the United States with an absolute majority of 523 votes.

Four years ago, when Roosevelt first came to power, the United States was deep in the quagmire of the Great Depression. In just four years, the United States has regained its vitality, the economy has recovered, public facilities have become more and more perfect, and people's living standards have significantly improved.

This year is also the fifth year since Qin Hao came to the United States.

In the past five years, the "World Mixed Martial Arts Competition" organized by Qin Hao has become the highest-level fighting competition recognized in the world.

Within five years, the "World Mixed Martial Arts Championship" continued to improve its rules, from no gloves at first, to the need to wear fingerless gloves, and then to a tonnage-graded model, attracting fighters from all over the world to join. .

The annual "World Mixed Martial Arts Finals" has also become one of the most watched programs in the United States every year.

Not only does it have huge influence in the United States, but TV stations in many European countries have also begun to purchase videos for rebroadcasting.

The reason why it has been loved by so many viewers is that, in addition to the excitement of the game itself, Qin Hao's efforts in business operations are also a key part.

In these five competitions, more than two dozen fighters have become famous. Many of these fighters have participated in the filming of Hollywood movies, and their advertising has been even more generous.

With the attraction of getting rich overnight, it naturally attracted more outstanding fighters to join. After the siphon effect was formed, Qin Hao no longer needed to invest too much energy in the competition. With professional managers giving advice, he only needed to grasp the Just the general direction.

As the influence of fighting competitions continues to expand, Qin Hao has gradually gained a place in American upper class society.

At the same time, during these five years, the domestic situation was not optimistic. After Chang Kaishen came to power, he continued to exclude dissidents, but he was obedient to the great powers. Five years later, not only did the three eastern provinces not be wrested from the hands of the Japanese , on the contrary, it only fattened the ambitions of the Japanese.

"Brother, what do you think of this suit for my father to wear on his retirement day?" Gong Ruomei came to Qin Hao excitedly holding a Tang suit.

Five years later, Gong Ruomei was already 19 years old. She had already become tall and graceful. Her short hair showed her simplicity and ability. Perhaps it was due to her long-term martial arts practice. Compared with ordinary girls, she had a vague heroic spirit between her eyebrows. .

"Well, it's pretty good-looking." Qin Hao nodded.

In the past few years, although Qin Hao and Gong Ruomei have never returned to China, they have contacted Gong Baosen through telegrams every month. Although it is only a few words, they can also know that Gong Baosen's situation in the country is not bad. Yes, he has been committed to promoting martial arts over the years and has taught many disciples, many of whom have entered the army as instructors.

A few days ago, Gong Baosen sent a telegram saying that he was going to hold a retirement ceremony in Jinmen and officially withdraw from the world.

Although Gong Baosen didn't say it clearly in his telegram, Qin Hao could vaguely guess that the reason why Gong Baosen withdrew so early was because he was somewhat disappointed with the Nanjing government.

"Brother, I've packed your luggage. Let's see what else you need to bring." Gong Ruomei was a little shy when she spoke.

In the past five years in the United States, Gong Ruomei was not as reserved as she was back home. On the day she turned eighteen, she took the initiative to express her feelings to Qin Hao. After that, the two naturally became a couple. Except for not breaking through the last step, they were basically They have done everything a couple should do.

When he returned to China this time, Qin Hao also planned to hold a wedding with Gong Ruomei. He originally planned to invite Gong Baosen to the United States to hold the wedding. Unfortunately, Gong Baosen refused to come, so he had to take this opportunity to return to China to propose marriage. .

"Don't worry, I've prepared all the gifts. I'm sure your uncle will be satisfied."

Gong Ruomei's face turned slightly red. She knew that the gift Qin Hao mentioned was actually the betrothal gift.

At the Jinmen Military Airport, Qin Hao and Gong Ruomei finally returned to China after a week of traveling. The moment they stepped off the plane, Gong Ruomei's legs were shaking.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Gong, it's been a hard journey. The principal has prepared a special car for you two. Please come with me." An officer came up with a group of soldiers.

When he returned to China this time, Qin Hao took Ms. Song's special line. In recent years, Ms. Song had gone to the United States to raise funds frequently.

As the influence of the "World Fighting Competition" increases day by day, Ms. Song naturally has to win over Qin Hao. Considering the impending national crisis, Qin Hao does not refuse people thousands of miles away. He has attended several fund-raising activities of Ms. Song. Also contributed $5 million.

Since then, Qin Hao has become Ms. Song's guest, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure in the bald head.

When she heard that Qin Hao was going back to China, Ms. Song immediately arranged for a military plane to pick him up and send him there, and also sent someone to protect him along the way. She took it very seriously.

"Thank you." Qin Hao said lightly and took Gong Ruomei's trembling hand to get into the car heading to Jinmen city.

The Chinese Samurai Association was the place where Gong Baosen became famous. Returning to the old place, Gong Ruomei seemed to see again the scene when her father was the most powerful figure in the northern martial arts world.

"Miss, you are back."

Lao Jiang is still dressed in the same simple style, wearing linen clothes with a long black cloth tied around his waist, but his hair and beard have become a lot whiter, showing a slight vicissitude.

Gong Ruomei's eyes were slightly red, and she held Lao Jiang's hand: "Uncle Jiang, you are old."

"Miss, you are a big girl now, how can I not grow old?" Lao Jiang's eyes were also full of tears. Gong Baosen took him by his side, gave him food, and taught him martial arts at the same time. This was reinvention. Later, he was asked to protect Gong Ruomei. From then on, he became Gong Ruomei's shadow and protected her until he followed Qin Hao to the United States when he was 13 years old, and the two separated.

Gong Baosen has always been busy. Gong Ruomei has not spent as much time with him as he has with Lao Jiang since he was a child. The two say they are master and servant, but in fact they have long been relatives.

"Uncle Jiang, didn't I send you a belt? Why are you still using this?" Gong Ruomei wiped her tears.

Lao Jiang smiled sheepishly: "I usually can't bear to use such a good thing. I want to wait until I am buried a hundred years later to use it."

"Bah, bah, bah, it's just a belt. I'll buy it for you when it wears out. Uncle Jiang, please stop saying depressing words. You will go to the United States with us this time. From now on, I will provide for you until the end of your life." Gong Ruomei said angrily. .

Lao Jiang was the executioner of the Qing court in his early years. Even in the Qing court, this profession was disliked by people. Girls from good families looked down upon it. Later, the Qing court abolished the criminal law of beheading and replaced it with shooting. No one paid attention to him anymore. Later, when he got older and found women, but none of them left him a son or a half, he accepted his fate. He felt that his career as an executioner was harmful to the harmony of heaven and was a punishment from God. .

"Miss, please stop joking. I don't know where the United States is. Besides, I'm already old. Fallen leaves have to be buried in our hometown." Although Lao Jiang was very moved, he still refused. He was afraid of hurting Gong Ruomei.

"Uncle Master will not go, and Uncle Jiang will not go. Let's finish Uncle Master's work first, and then it won't be too late to persuade Uncle Jiang." Qin Hao walked to Gong Ruomei and patted her shoulder.

Lao Jiang was secretly happy when he saw the two of them being so intimate. In his impression, Qin Hao was capable and loyal, and he was a person worth trusting. At first, he was worried that the ten-year age difference between the two would cause trouble. , now you can rest assured.

"Yes, I'm so happy to see you. The master is still waiting in the main room. Miss, please come quickly, Mr. Qin."

All the way through the guild hall, under the leadership of Lao Jiang, Qin Hao and Gong Ruomei came to the front hall. Gong Baosen was sitting on an imperial chair drinking tea, but from the moment he saw Gong Ruomei, his hands were shaking. It can be seen in a moment how excited he is at this moment, but this love has been hidden by him.

"Well, it's good to be back." Gong Baosen pretended to be nonchalant and sipped his tea, then turned his attention to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao pulled Gong Ruomei, who was already in tears, to salute Gong Baosen.

"Get up, this is the Republic of China, and this style has long ceased to be popular. You have been working hard all the way. Sit down, have a cup of tea, and have a rest." Gong Baosen helped the two of them up distressedly.

Qin Hao and Gong Ruomei sat next to Gong Baosen. First, Gong Ruomei talked in detail about her experiences in the United States over the years.

Gong Baosen listened very carefully. Even if it was some trivial matters, he was not impatient at all. There was still some regret in his eyes. He did not participate in his daughter's most precious growth period.

After talking for more than an hour, Gong Ruomei almost ran out of words. She changed the tea several times before stopping.

Gong Baosen then turned his attention to Qin Hao: "You have worked hard to take care of this girl these years."

"It's all as it should be."

When Qin Hao said this, Gong Ruomei's pretty face turned red.

Gong Baosen couldn't help but secretly lamented that he might not be able to save his juicy cabbage.

However, Gong Baosen was still very satisfied with Qin Hao, his future uncle.

In terms of appearance, ability, and character alone, it would be difficult to find someone who is more outstanding than him. What's more, Qin Hao is someone he has watched grow up. He knows everything about Qin Hao. There is no one more suitable than him, except for his own daughter. It's a bit bigger, but there's nothing wrong with it.

What's more, in this day and age, when a man is ten years older than a woman, there really isn't much of a difference.

"Uncle Master, when we come back this time, Ruomei and I plan to get married, and then we will take you and Uncle Jiang to the United States to play for a while."

Even if everyone knew it well, Qin Hao still had to take the initiative to speak up about this kind of thing.

Gong Baosen nodded: "Well, I'll let someone handle the wedding later. As for going to the United States, forget it. I can't get used to flying."

"Dad, if you really don't want to fly, we can also take a ship. Besides, I also plan to hold a wedding in the United States. What's going on if you're not here?" Gong Ruomei coquettishly hugged Gong Baosen. Arm, this was also the argument she had thought of for a long time.

"This" Gong Baosen really couldn't refuse when he heard it. It was his daughter's wedding. What kind of profession was he, a father, not in?

"Yes, uncle, I'm just going to stay for a few days. If you're not happy later, you can come back at any time." Qin Hao also helped.

"Okay then, I'll be back after attending your wedding."

After talking about the parents' shortcomings, Gong Baosen said seriously: "I heard that the World Fighting Competition you organized has been very good in recent years. Do you think you can help our domestic boxers to compete in the United States?"

Qin Hao smiled: "Of course. If domestic boxers come to compete, the organizing committee can take care of the round-trip air tickets and accommodation."

This benefit is also one of the reasons why the "World Series of Fighting" is so successful. Many fighters actually don't have much money. If they don't get a ranking or receive a bonus, the round trip expenses, meals and accommodation will all be a lump sum. The high cost means that many fighters will give up participating in the competition in the long run.

Of course, not all fighters can have this benefit, at least they must be those who advance to the main competition.

Gong Baosen said happily: "Okay, let our domestic boxers go see the mountains abroad. If we stay on our own laurels, we will only be pushed further and further away."

"Well, Uncle Master, to tell you the truth, the players in the World Fighting Championship are indeed getting stronger and stronger now."

Before Qin Hao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Junior Brother Qin, why do you need to let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige? No one has defeated you in these years."

Ma Sanlong walked to the main room at a snail's pace and bowed deeply to Gong Baosen.

Gong Baosen's expression changed and he scolded: "What do you know? There are people outside the world and there is a sky outside. How can you sit in a well and look at the sky?"

Ma San clenched his fists unconsciously, but still said respectfully on the surface: "Master taught me that."

Gong Baosen frowned slightly but didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked Lao Jiang to arrange for Qin Hao and Gong Ruomei to stay in the backyard.

Since Xue Dian was not in Jinmen at this time and was still teaching at the Nanjing Guoshu Hall, Qin Hao stayed at the Chinese Warrior Association for a few days until Xue Dian came back from Nanjing and found a martial artist under his recommendation. Senior, I went to the Gong family to propose marriage. The two parties exchanged their birth dates and chose an auspicious day. This day was finally decided.

But before that, Qin Hao had no choice but to move out of the Chinese Samurai Association and live in the Jinmen Hotel.

Of course, Gong Baosen also knew that Qin Hao's return should not be delayed for too long, and the chosen date was relatively close, just one week after his retreat ceremony.

This time Gong Baosen's retirement ceremony was attended by all the prominent figures in the northern martial arts world, and it was held at the Grand Hotel des Nations. This was also the starting point for Gong Baosen's fame, and it can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

"Uncle Master, do you really plan to let Ma San take over your class?"

Facing Qin Hao's question, Gong Baosen sighed: "Originally, I planned to let you take over my class, but now that you have made your own way, I'm afraid you won't be able to see what I have built. I can’t go up.”

"With all due respect, Ma San may not be a good choice."

"Although Ma San is not that good, he has been working hard over the years and he can be considered a person who has brought glory to my profession. I am just a closed disciple. Who else can I give to besides him?"

Outside the door, Ma San, who was about to knock on the door, froze in mid-air when he raised his hand, and a fierce look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Oh, it’s uncomfortable. First I had to ventilate it, but now I have stones again. It hurts so much. My friends, you must take care of yourself. If you are not in good health, you can’t do anything.
