Chapter 1793 The Gears of Destiny (First update, please subscribe)
High-rise buildings lined up one after another, brightly lit billboards, and all kinds of cars running on the wide avenues. This is everyone's impression of Chang'an, and it is very similar to the Chang'an in the movies.

But for Zhang Bingqian, the prosperity here has little to do with her. As a new immigrant, she came to Chang'an with almost nothing.

A few months ago, she divorced her husband Guan Shan, not only because of Guan Shan's promiscuous nature, but also because in the past few years, although he was a movie emperor, he was still excluded by the film industry and had hardly received any film contracts in the past few years.

Not to mention Guan Shan, the actor, even Cha Yong, the famous martial arts novelist, was affected. His act of cleansing the land for the Manchus not only met with widespread boycott, but even his newspaper went bankrupt after struggling for several years. Although he later changed his writing style, it was too late to reverse the situation. After all, he was blacklisted.

And what was the biggest blow to Zhang Bingqian?
Even though Guan Shan had no film contracts, he indulged in wine and women. Being a playboy himself, he completely let himself go, which further deteriorated their relationship. Although he had no film contracts and no source of income, this did not prevent Guan Shan from indulging in wine and women. In the end, Zhang Bingqian could not stand his behavior anymore and she chose to divorce.

Although Zhang Bingqian was once very popular, she rarely made movies after her marriage. Faced with the difficulties in life and the harassment from her ex-husband, after much deliberation, she brought her daughter to Chang'an.

"Well, we'll have to start over again..."

As Zhang Bingqian talked to herself, she looked around the room in front of her. It was a standard Nanyang-style apartment.

The living room, which is about 20 square meters, is simply furnished - a wooden sofa, a coffee table, and a TV cabinet without a TV.

There are three bedrooms.

This type of four-bedroom apartment is the first choice for many outsiders or immigrants who have just arrived in Chang'an, because it is an official apartment.

Such an apartment only costs 40 yuan a month, which is much cheaper than renting an apartment in the urban area of ​​Hong Kong Island. The apartments in Hong Kong Island not only have a poor environment, but also have much smaller living areas than this one. Moreover, every room has an air conditioner, which is almost unimaginable in Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Bingqian and her daughter have been in Chang'an for three days, and almost everything has been settled.

The back of this apartment of more than 100 square meters is her and her daughter's home.

Guan Jiahui looked at her mother and asked:

"Mommy, when can I go to school?"

Zhang Bingqian came back to her senses after hearing her daughter's voice. She quickly turned around, looked at her daughter, and said with a smile:
"Jiahui, Mommy will take you to school tomorrow. You can play the piano first. Mommy will go to cook."

While cooking in the kitchen, Zhang Bingqian would occasionally look towards the residential area. Under the moonlight, the residential area was extremely quiet, with few people in sight, only the swaying green treetops.

Listening to the piano music coming from the living room, Zhang Bingqian nodded vigorously and said to herself:
"Okay, after tomorrow, we must start over again!"

For a woman with a daughter, coming to a foreign country and wanting to start over was extremely difficult, but fortunately, everything went more smoothly than she had imagined.

The next morning, Zhang Bingqian completed the enrollment procedures for her daughter with the rental contract in hand.

After settling her daughter, Zhang Bingqian took a car to Asia Television.

As an actress, she is most familiar with filming. In SEA, there are not only movies in Kuching, but also crews in Chang'an and Asia Television. In the past ten years, TV series produced by Asia Television have been popular not only in SEA, but also in the Asia-Pacific region and even Europe and the United States.

TV series like "Legend of White Snake" directly set off an unprecedented wave of viewing, and Zhu Hong, who played the role of the lady, became the most famous actress in Asia, and even had a certain degree of popularity in Europe and the United States.

There are several hit TV series in Asia every year. Just like now, Hannah starred in "Charlotte", which established her reputation as the "No. 1 Fighting Girl". In the TV series, Charlotte's beautiful face and slender long legs attracted countless people. But it is not just the long legs of the heroine that attract people. It has set off a craze for watching the drama worldwide with its hodgepodge of detective work, gunfights, car chases and fighting.

However, as soon as she arrived at Asia Television, Zhang Bingqian saw a series of posters. Those posters were all of Asia Television’s popular stars, both male and female actors.

On those posters, Zhang Bingqian saw several of her former juniors, who had all filmed movies in Hong Kong Island but later came here.

SEAs are not only attractive to ordinary people in Hong Kong Island, but also to movie stars.

Although Hong Kong Island has its own film and entertainment industry, its influence and scale are far from comparable to SEAs.

“Hong Kong’s movies are only for Hong Kong people, but Kuching’s movies are for the whole world.”

So every year many film professionals leave Hong Kong Island and come to Kuching to pursue their dreams in the Hollywood of the East.

Of course, some of them realized their dreams. Looking at the people on the posters, Zhang Bingqian couldn't help but sigh.

Is it possible for me to realize my dream by coming here?

For a woman in her 30s, it is obviously impossible to realize her so-called dream.

But apart from filming, Zhang Bingqian doesn't know what else she can do. Now, all she needs is a job, a job that allows her to live here.

"Well, it's just starting over again."

Zhang Bingqian took a deep breath and then walked into the building.

……

People's destiny always changes silently. Just as Zhang Bingqian walked into the Asia Television Building with great anticipation, a C717 passenger plane was flying over the world's first TV tower.

When the plane was about to land, a group of teenagers in the cabin were excitedly looking out the window at the city.

"Qingxia, look, this is Chang'an Tower. We have arrived in Chang'an..."

Her friend's shout made Brigitte Lin look out the window, towards this long-famous place.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity about this city, "We are really in Chang'an..."

The young men in the cabin all looked very excited. They had been longing to be here for a long time. After all, Chang'an was the world's largest city and more prosperous than New York.

Compared with Chang'an, Wanbei is just like a shabby town.

They are undoubtedly lucky - in the past decade or so, thousands of students have come here every year as exchange students, including both junior high school students and college students.

Among those exchange students, many of them were later admitted to universities in SEA. Compared to universities in Bay North, the universities here... are even easier to get into.

Although they are foreigners and need to pay expensive university tuition, but... they are Tang people.

You can apply for special scholarships.

Of course, the exchange program is a program promoted by the Ministry of Education, and its main purpose is to strengthen communication between Chinese people.

Thanks to this sentence, tens of thousands of Tang people from all over the world come to Chang'an every year to study here as exchange students.

At the beginning of the year, encouraged by good friends, Brigitte Lin went to interview for exchange students with several classmates. Unexpectedly, all the classmates were eliminated, and only she passed the interview.

Sometimes life is so wonderful.

And now, when Brigitte Lin looked at the modern city below, her mood was complicated.

In the next few years, he will study here and most likely apply for university here.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is undoubtedly enviable. Even after learning that she passed the interview for exchange students, the uncles and aunts in the military village congratulated her father. This is indeed a good thing. In the eyes of many people, being able to study abroad in SEA is even more enviable than studying in the United States.

However, for a fifteen-year-old girl, coming to a foreign country alone would undoubtedly require her to face many challenges.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried that she would not be able to adapt to the life and study here. After all, she was just a little girl.

And this was her first time going abroad, but the people here looked no different from them, but after all, this was still a foreign country.

What kind of people will she meet and what kind of new friends will she make in the days ahead? All of this makes Brigitte Lin both excited and nervous.

"You can do it for sure."

Brigitte Lin secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

"It's no big deal! It's just a new place to study."

Soon, the plane landed.

Like other passengers, these teenagers, dressed in their respective school uniforms, got off the plane dragging their suitcases. When passing through the boarding bridge, they looked at the boarding bridge curiously, looking at everything here, and then went to customs with other passengers.

Perhaps because they could tell their identities at a glance, the customs officers were very polite to these students. They always gave them a kind smile and welcomed them without any arrogance at all.

When it was Brigitte Lin's turn, she nervously handed over her passport.

The female customs officer who took the passport couldn't help but praise Lin Qingxia when she looked at her.

"Wow, sister, you are so beautiful!"

Facing the praise, Brigitte Lin smiled shyly and said:

"Thank you, you're beautiful too, sis."

Facing the rush from Brigitte Lin, the female official smiled and said.

"You are also an exchange student here, right? Welcome to SEA."

Her passport was stamped when it was issued.

The speed is completely different from the treatment of other foreigners.

Before Brigitte Lin could react, she had already completed the customs clearance procedures.

Perhaps, this is the effect of appearance.

Of course, this is only one aspect, the more important reason is that she is a Tang person. Here, people from the Tang Dynasty are always treated differently from others.

Dragging her suitcase out of the airport waiting hall and before getting on the car, Brigitte Lin took a deliberate look around. Although it was just an airport, it did look very lively, just like in the movies.

Then, she said to herself in her heart.

"Okay, I'll study here from now on..."
