Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 12 Taking office, Jiangcheng!
As the saying goes: You can't expect everything to go as planned, but you can do your best to have a clear conscience.

When it comes to being a person and doing things, Zhen Jiecheng values ​​doing it with a clear conscience!
Of course, Zhen Jiecheng is quite generous, and there aren't many things that can make him feel guilty.
For example,
Find ex-girlfriends and beg for alms!

Anyway, I've already looked for it once, so I don't worry about having too many debts, and I don't feel itchy when I have too many lice.

What excellent ex-girlfriends!
But if they don’t have their own help, how can they better demonstrate their excellence?
He might as well go all out and take out the initial draft of options that Ning Hao and he had discussed, and help his ex-girlfriends explore their potential!
"Beep, beep, beep,"

"Hey, sis, it's Jiecheng!"

"To be honest, I'm really embarrassed to call you."

"Every time I call you, I ask for your help. That's not how we do things."

"That is to say, sister, you have always spoiled me. If someone else could give me two big cunts, I would be the one to do it."

"I want to ask you, sister, do you know him?"

A series of lists are presented in full.
"Oh, sister, you are only familiar with these two! Sister, can you help me to talk to them and introduce them? I want to take the script to the three visits and invite these two teachers to star in my movie."

"Thank you sister!"

“Thank you so much!”

The first call was a great success.

Zhen Jiecheng was immediately excited.
Otherwise, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

Look, look!
Come again!

"Beep, beep, beep,"

"Sister, I'm Jie Cheng!"

continue!

"Sister, are the cosmetics I brought you last time good?"

"If it's useful, I'll bring you a few more next time!"

Next!
"Sister, you are still as excellent as ever!"

“Excellent people will always be appreciated by their predecessors no matter where they go!”

"It's only you, sister. How could anyone else make friends with so many successful teachers?"

do not stop!
Ok?
and many more!

Seems like that’s enough?

Zhen Jiecheng quickly went through the list.
That’s enough!

hiss!
It seems quite simple!
Zhen Jiecheng felt that it was necessary to praise his younger self at this moment.

Jiecheng is a smart kid since he was young.
If I had realized that my sister was a treasure right after entering school, I would have saved myself many years of detours!

The matchmaking of his ex-girlfriends is only auxiliary. Whether Zhen Jiecheng can impress this group of seniors depends on himself.

After making several copies of the script and storyboards,
The first person Zhen Jiecheng visited was the protagonist's first choice for "father", You Benchang, the actor who brought Jigong to life!

"Hello, Mr. You. I am a student from the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy. My name is Zhen Jiecheng."

Holding fruit in hand, they bow politely when meeting each other.
But when Mr. You, who was nearly seventy years old, cast his eyes, which were as deep as the mountains and seas, yet as smart as a young boy,
Zhen Jiecheng instantly forgot the words he had prepared.
This look is absolutely amazing!
If Liu Shishi could imitate 10% of it, she wouldn't have to bear the label of "blind" forever!

"Jiecheng! A kid who is only 20 years old has already started writing scripts and making movies. This is great!"

"It shows that our film and television schools do a very good job in education. There are always talented people emerging in every generation!"

"Come on, show me the script!"

The voice is loud and clear.
The speaking speed is not fast, and the intonation sounds particularly interesting.
More importantly, Zhen Jiecheng could not hear any contempt in the tone, but rather full of encouragement.

"Come on, come on, Teacher You, please go back and sit down first. I'll get you the script right away. Please sit down and read it!"

There was no red tape, but this direct approach to the subject did not surprise Zhen Jiecheng at all.

This old man has really taken acting to heart! He has also combined his own life experience with it, which is why he has such a charismatic and infectious personality!

"Teacher You, this is the script and this is the storyboard. Please correct me."

Seeing Mr. You putting on his reading glasses, Zhen Jiecheng hurriedly helped him make tea and pour water.

Then I sat at the table obediently, waiting quietly.
The potted plants on the windowsill are in full bloom, and the hands of the old-fashioned pendulum clock are playing a regular rhythm.
The lazy cat didn't care about Zhen Jiecheng's gaze and just combed its hair.

The occasional disdainful look made Zhen Jiecheng inexplicably angry.
I'm thinking to myself that sooner or later I'll get a cotton swab dipped in chili oil and poke your anus so you can experience what a happy cat life is like!

The old man reads very slowly.
But very thin!
Looking at the storyboard, he closed his eyes from time to time, as if he was imagining the plot scenes presented.

Finally, when the reading glasses were taken off,

Before he could even open his mouth, he gave Zhen Jiecheng a thumbs up.
"it is good!"

With just one word, the sudden sense of satisfaction instantly filled Zhen Jiecheng's heart!

"I'll take the role of the protagonist's father!"

"By the way, director, when are you going to start filming?"

"No, no, no, Mr. You, you are old enough, just call me Jiecheng!"

"How can this be possible? A director is a director, and an actor is an actor! Since GM work is not divided into high and low, it cannot be divided into age!"

Zhen Jiecheng was convinced!
And I can't find any reason to refute it.
"I'm a bit rushed on the schedule, and plan to start filming in early October."

"So fast?"

Mr. You was stunned.
Then, without asking the reason, he simply replied,
"No problem! I'll finish the things on hand and then go to Jiangcheng!"

"You need to learn the dialect and get familiar with the funeral industry,"

"It's better to be busy. If you are busy, you won't get old and you can stay young forever!"

When he learned that Deng Chao already had a bed in Jiangcheng Funeral Home, the old man directly asked to stay with Deng Chao and refused Zhen Jiecheng's "privilege" of booking a hotel for him.

In the words of the old man: No hotel is closer to the funeral home, so instead of spending time on the road every day, it is better to put more energy into work.

Afterwards, after reaching a cooperation, the old man did not let Zhen Jiecheng go immediately. Instead, he discussed the script with great interest.
"Director, the script for 'Life Events' is very well written!"

“I’m very touched!”

"Especially this part,"

"Although this role doesn't have many scenes, it's very difficult to play well!"

"But if it can be performed well, it will be very appealing and will become a classic!"

“Who are you going to get to play the role?”

The plot that Mr. You is referring to was specially added by Zhen Jiecheng based on the original version.

Zhen Jiecheng also firmly believes that this plot will become a highlight of the revised version of "Life Events"!

"I plan to invite Mr. Ding Yongdai to guest star!"

You may be unfamiliar with this name, but when it comes to Bai Baoshan, I’m afraid few people born after the 90s don’t know him!

If Feng Yuanzheng's An Jiahe is a childhood shadow, then Teacher Ding's Bai Baoshan is nothing short of a youth nightmare.

"Ding Yongdai? Yeah! He can act well!"

Mr. You nodded.

"Wait, planning to look for him? You haven't looked for him yet?"

"No! Not only Teacher Ding Yongdai, but also several important supporting roles have not been decided yet!"

Zhen Jiecheng smiled bitterly.
"All the film offers I sent out before were rejected,"

"I can understand that, but I also feel a lot of frustration."

"I simply gave up the previous invitation list and selected a better one! Then I was so ignorant that I asked someone to act as a matchmaker and brought the script to see if there was a chance for cooperation."

Hearing this, Mr. You gently patted Zhen Jiecheng on the shoulder.

"If you don't have the ability, then you don't know your place!"

"If you have talent, you should show it to the fullest!"

"Young people always feel looked down upon because of their age and feel wronged,"

"But being young shouldn't be a disadvantage, but a huge advantage!"

"Jiecheng, you did the right thing! Young people should keep this energy in mind!"

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Zhen Jiecheng.

"Show me the list of actors you're looking for next,"

"I'll help you think about it, and I can also be your lobbyist."

Another "commander" appeared!

But this doesn’t count as asking the parents for help, but rather the “parents” taking the initiative to help!

In response, Zhen Jiecheng pulled the cat hard to express his inner emotion and joy.

With Mr. You's active endorsement, Zhen Jiecheng's subsequent trip began to go very smoothly.
In just a few days, all the important roles were confirmed.

As the equipment provided by the school is loaded onto a truck and transported to Jiangcheng, Zhen Jiecheng’s first film is about to officially start shooting!
"Here, this is your film permit."

In the office of the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy,
Old Li seemed particularly lost.

"Originally, Lao Zhang and Lao Yu were thinking of helping you connect with China Film Group and meet with Mr. Han. Even if we can't ask Mr. Han to guest-star in your movie, at least we can get him to invest in it."

"It's a pity that I'm not capable enough, teacher, so I couldn't do it!"

"I can only help you get the filming permit in advance,"

"Hey, teacher, it's okay!" Zhen Jiecheng took the filming permit and consoled with a smile.
"That's enough. Anyway, I have already prepared the funds for filming. Now I have everything I need. I just need to make the movie well!"

"Besides, no matter whether you succeed or not, you will always be the talented and strong Mr. Li in my heart!"

"Pah! He's a talented student from Beijing Film Academy. Can he use idioms?"

Hearing this, Lao Li was also happy.
Although the disappointment on his face still persisted, he finally calmed down.

Walk up to Zhen Jiecheng,
First, he sorted out Zhen Jiecheng's shirt.

Then he patted Zhen Jiecheng's shoulder heavily.

“Take good pictures!”

"Be careful, be attentive, and calm down. You must make a good movie!"

"Save yourself!"

"Save face for me as a teacher!"

"Let others see that the photography department's talent is not exaggerated!"

"So what if you didn't graduate from the photography department? You can still make a good movie! You're no worse than a graduate student from the directing department!"

"Are you confident?"

"Confidence? Have I ever lacked that?"

Zhen Jiecheng raised his eyebrows.

"You dare to make my teacher angry? I won't agree!"

"He's just a graduate student from the directing department! Get him!"

"Just take a look!"

The sparrows outside the window are still chirping, but the troublemakers of Beijing Film Academy have already packed up and set off.

Buy tickets, board the plane,
Take office, Jiangcheng!
Chusai and Sanxiang are connected, and the nine factions of Jingmen are connected.

Jiangcheng is located in the center of China.
The Yangtze River and the Han River meet here, and the spark that ended feudalism was also ignited here.

Literati and poets have been reciting poems here for thousands of years, and modern universities have also built a city of science and education here.

When Zhen Jiecheng set foot on this land that has nurtured countless heroes and has a long history,
I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart,

"Shit! It's so damn hot!"

Hot and humid, or stuffy,

There is only one place in the capital where you can experience this: the bathhouse!

But in Jiangcheng, where in life is there no sauna?

Fun Fact: Jiangcheng's summer can last up to five months! Even in October, the autumn heat can still add fuel to the fire.
"How is it? Is the temperature strong enough?"

A van suddenly stopped, and after rolling down the window, Ning Hao, who had a large gold chain around his neck, poked his head out obscenely.
"Why are you still standing there? Get in the car!"

"Fuck, when did you buy this thing? Is it gold-plated? Or is it hollow?"

"Bullshit! This is real pure gold!" Ning Hao retorted while shifting gears, "I bought it with your salary! Do you think it's real?"

"Well, it does look pretty cool when I wear it. When I get a dog, I'll get one for him, too."

"Shit, did your broken mouth eat shit? Why does it stink so bad?"

After a round of polite greetings, Zhen Jiecheng began to ask about business.
"How's the preparation going?"

Ning Hao arrived earlier, only one day later than Deng Chao, and all the matters here were left to him.

"It's almost done. I'll take care of the little girl for a few days, and I'll hand her over to your sister-in-law when she gets here."

"We really made the right choice for the female lead. The girl is very smart and she familiarized herself with the script very quickly."

"We have contacted the extras, and the Jiangcheng People's Art Theater has also agreed to help with guest appearances."

"Now we're just waiting for you to decide on the filming location, and once you've set up the set, we can start filming right away!"

"Well, that's good!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "By the way, is Teacher You in good health? It's so hot this day, don't let the old man get too tired."

"Don't worry! Even if you die, Teacher You can still eat and drink!"

"You are such a fucking incompetent director. Everyone is here, but you are the only one who is late!"

"Okay, stop nagging, let's go to the hotel and talk!"

In the hotel's large box, everyone, including actors and crew members, gathered together.
When Zhen Jiecheng was led in by Ning Hao, there was warm applause.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng didn't hesitate and picked up the wine glass.

"I'm the last director to arrive, so I promise to drink a glass of wine as a punishment later!"

"I know that I am a little too young for my age, which may cause doubts among you. But I promise you that I will prove to you with my actions that I will never let your hard work go to waste!"

"Although I am young, I will never be arrogant!"

"Don't think I'm arrogant or I get angry when someone points out my mistakes or gives me suggestions."

"If there are any differences, let's discuss them!"

"What does it matter if we are directors or not? Let's learn from each other and make progress together!"

"Come on, cheers!"

The atmosphere instantly became hot!

Only Ning Hao opened his eyes wide.

Damn, I think I've heard this somewhere!
　After thinking about it, it was a bit illogical for an undergraduate who had not yet graduated to go to China Film Group to meet Mr. Han while working as a female student, and to gain appreciation and investment support, even if it was a cool story, so I changed the tenth chapter.

　　If there are any problems in what I wrote, please feel free to give me some advice.
