Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 167

The Beijing airport is bustling with people, although the scene of media reporters carrying cameras and long guns is already commonplace.

But they still cast their gazes over, curious about which big star had arrived in Beijing.

Until the Beijing Film Academy's airport reception team arrived and put up a banner at the scene:
Warmly welcome our 04 graduate student Zhen Jiecheng to return to Cannes with honors!
"Oh wow, this is the great director!"

"Big director? Which big director?"

"It's the guy who filmed 'Life Events'! This guy is so awesome when he films women, his taste is so authentic, he's just trying to carry gold bricks."

Smacking his lips,
"Haven't you read the news recently? He won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival! There are only two people in China who have won it, the last one was Chen Kaige!"

"Chen Kaige? Damn, The Promise is such a piece of crap!"

"Don't bring up The Promise. The one that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes is Farewell My Concubine."

"Farewell My Concubine? What? This guy named Zhen Jiecheng also has an awesome father?"

"Yes! You must be good at talking. If there is no crosstalk performance of yours under the overpass, I will definitely not go to watch it."

There was endless discussion.

Some were disdainful, but more were praising and giving thumbs up.

Nowadays, foreign awards are always more "noble", not to mention that Cannes is one of the three major film festivals that represent the pinnacle of film and television art.

In fact, even after more than ten years, the Palme d'Or still has extremely high gold content and is worth writing about!

Yang Mi's face flushed red. She pricked up her ears to listen to the discussions of the passers-by around her, while holding on to a corner of the banner tightly, for fear that it would fall accidentally.

"Isn't it just Cannes? Just by getting a little bit of foreign knowledge, you can become an immortal?"

Yang Mi glared at him angrily.

There were a bunch of "you××" stuck in my throat, and I wish they could burst out in the next second.

"The Palme d'Or at the age of 24, awesome!"

Yang Mi gave him a look of approval that said "You are very knowledgeable".

"Emmanuelle Béart is good. Although she's a little older, she's big in every way. Tsk tsk tsk, I just don't know if Zhen Jiecheng's is good enough. Don't turn around and splash around in the waves without being able to find the bottom. That would be really embarrassing!"

Yang Mi: 0.0
As I was struggling, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.

No hat or wig.

The head that was shaved when he left the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" has already grown stubble.

Paired with casual pants and a white shirt, he exudes a refreshing and capable vibe.

This made Yang Mi swallow her saliva subconsciously.

Then he raised the banner vigorously and shouted to Yuan Shanshan at the other end,
"The senior is here!"

"Quick, get ready to chant!"

However, before the two could speak, a swarm of reporters disrupted Yang Mi's long-awaited airport reception.

"Director Zhen, is this Emmanuelle Béarn?"

"Director Zhen, after you and Liu Yifei just had a brief encounter in The Return of the Condor Heroes, you took it a step further and kissed passionately in Parasite. Does this mean that the next time you work together, the scenes will be even more explicit, and the next time you work together, the fake scenes will become real?"

"Director Zhen, the Hong Kong media claimed that you were contacting her mother through Liu Yifei. How do you explain this?"

"Director Zhen, have you ever considered Zhang Ziyi's feelings? She supported Parasite as a judge, but you were romanticizing with other women in front of her."

Zhen Jiecheng's face darkened.

But the ones with even darker faces than Zhen Jiecheng were the leaders from Beijing Film Academy who came to pick him up at the airport.

Director Tian, ​​in particular, wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

孽 孽!
The airport pick-up process was very good, and photography of the entire process was specially arranged.

Next, it will become the leader’s political achievement material and be submitted to the higher authorities.

A promotional video will also be produced at the end of the year to attract new students and parents.

In the future it will be edited into a documentary and put in the school history museum!
Is this the only outstanding educational achievement of Beijing Film Academy?

Would you like to learn from me?

There are so many directors at Beijing Film Academy, how can you just copy some of their homework?
Can't you just do it secretly and turn off the lights?

Parading around in public, in front of everyone. Ugh, disgusting!
"Ahem, ahem, Jiecheng is still as lively as ever!" Vice President Zhang Huijun broke the awkwardness and spoke haltingly.

"Puchi~" The head of the photography department couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yeah! Lively! How could he not be lively? He was just 17 years old and he dared to pretend to be an old student, chatting up senior students while asking for specific information about female teachers. Our Beijing Film Academy has been established for 66 years, but there is only one person like him!"

"Dean, please don't slander me! I was obviously just attracted by the excellence of the senior sister, there is no such thing as a teacher!"

After dealing with the paparazzi, Zhen Jiecheng hurried over.

Without waiting to catch his breath, he quickly defended himself.

"Okay, stop quibbling!"

Director Tian interrupted Zhen Jiecheng and glanced at the unsatisfied people who wanted to follow him.

"If you stay any longer, do you want to drag us down with you and embarrass ourselves?"

"You're already a Palme d'Or director, can't you pay a little attention to your reputation?"

As he said this, he waved to Yang Mi and the others.
"Put up the banner, quickly. Let's get in the car and go back to school!"

Looking at Director Tian's back as he turned and left, Zhen Jiecheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Damn, Lao Deng’s attitude is so good?
He was tricked by Zuo Shandiao and made a fool of himself, but he didn't take the opportunity to attack him?

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

The head of the photography department smiled and patted Zhen Jiecheng on the shoulder.

"Not bad! He's the Palme d'Or director!"

"Jie Cheng, you've brought honor to us old folks!"

"From now on, you will no longer be a baby bird that needs our care occasionally, but a soaring eagle!"

After a pause,
"Have you noticed? Lao Tian's tone of voice when talking to you has changed. So, you should also make corresponding changes."

"Considering that you were so emmm before, and have a lot of room for improvement, you are very suitable to practice 'a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold'!"

Zhen Jiecheng: ￣へ￣

Traffic jam all the way!

Finally arrived at Beijing Film Academy, the long banner fluttering in the wind at the school gate was particularly eye-catching.

Under the banner are two rows of pretty school girls.

The photographer jogged with the camera in his hand, trying to reach the best position as quickly as possible to capture the best shot of Zhen Jiecheng getting off the car.

Looking closely, it was Ning Hao, grinning and winking at Zhen Jiecheng.

"Welcome, welcome! Warmly welcome!"

The schoolgirls jumped up and down and waved their arms.

This seems to have become an inherent tradition in China. From the Grand Auditorium and Zhongnanhai to the village committees and primary and secondary schools, the main goal is to popularize it across the board.

The principal was standing at the school gate, striding over with the students responsible for presenting flowers.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng was dumbfounded.

"Teacher, is it necessary to be so grand? It's not like our Beijing Film Academy hasn't won the top three awards before. This makes me feel a little guilty!"

"Oh, there are times when you feel guilty? This is really not easy!" Director Tian rolled his eyes. "Okay, stop being so shy. Didn't you see that there is a TV station besides Ning Hao?"

After a pause,
“The three major universities are different from each other, and graduates are even more different from students currently enrolled.”

"Not to mention you got the record and title of the youngest winner!"

"So hold your head high and your chest out. No matter how grand the event is, you deserve it!"

Director Tian said this as he adjusted his clothes.

The old face, which had been tense since the ten-year silence, finally relaxed completely. Even the thick beard could not completely conceal the high spirits and vigor that had reignited and soared once again!
One of the leaders of the "Fifth Generation Directors"!

Together with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Zhang Li and others, they were frozen in 1978 and together created "one of the 20 most exciting moments in the history of 100th century cinema"!
Senior Brother Chen described them as a group of naughty children who were immersed in the spring flowers and autumn moons of Zhuxinzhuang, and a group of infatuated people who were fascinated by art.

Zhang Jianjun, the director of Qian Xuesen, The Reign of Zhenguan and Sanmao Joins the Army, said: "After leaving Zhuxinzhuang, I only respect Tian Zhuangzhuang."

Nowadays, Beijing Film Academy has already moved out of Zhuxinzhuang.

Spring flowers and autumn moons only exist in the memories of the white stubble.

Looking at Lao Deng'er's demeanor of an old rogue with a serious artist's demeanor, Zhen Jiecheng finally understood why Senior Sister Li Shaohong had been his confidante for so many years.

"What are you looking at?" Lao Deng was immediately shocked.

"Look at you. Ahem!" Zhen Jiecheng gave a thumbs up, "Teacher, you are so handsome!"

"Okay, you two are both handsome!" Senior Brother Zhang Huijun, who is also level 78, said with a smile, "Let's get off the car!"

Cheer and shine all the way.

Zhen Jiecheng holds flowers in his left hand and the Palme d'Or medal in his right hand.

In 2006, I enjoyed a treatment similar to that of opening the middle door in ancient times.

Then he followed the school leaders and went straight to the auditorium.

"Principal, I have discussed with the teacher and plan to leave the Palme d'Or medal to the school."

"Huh?" Director Tian was stunned.

"Is this appropriate? After all, this is your first major award, and you are the youngest winner. It has a special meaning."

"It's the honor that's important, not the medal, isn't it?" Zhen Jiecheng replied, "I'll make a copy later, and no one will say it's fake."

"Besides, I'm still young, maybe I can get another one in the future!"

"Principal, you know me well."

"Under the careful guidance of my teachers, I have always adhered to the principle that my alma mater is for me and I am for my alma mater."

"In the past, I have shed sweat for my alma mater, I have done my best for my alma mater, and I have shed blood for my alma mater!"

"Today, I present a medal to my alma mater!"

"But Principal, I can't hand it over to the school right away. I have to take it back and let my family and friends take a look."

"Of course! Of course!" The principal was overjoyed. He grabbed Director Tian's hand and shook it vigorously. "Old Tian, ​​the school has to thank you for cultivating such an outstanding student like Jiecheng!"

"Jiecheng, the school also has to thank you for your generosity and selflessness! This Palme d'Or will surely become the treasure of our Beijing Film Academy, inspiring generations of students to climb to the pinnacle of art!"

Then he turned to look at the secretary.
"Write down!"

"Director Tian and Master Jiecheng discussed and decided to present the Palme d'Or to the school! It would be a great pity if this beautiful story was not recorded and passed down!"

"Are you fucking stupid?"

Director Tian found an opportunity and took advantage of the principal's brief absence to start cursing.

"listen to me!"

"Make a copy later and give it to the school."

“Like you said, no one will say it’s fake!”

"As for the real one, you better hide it yourself!" Listening to Lao Deng's whispered admonition, Zhen Jiecheng's understanding was once again consolidated: the damn Beijing Film Academy must have terrible feng shui, otherwise there is no way to explain why such a group of dirty things with an orderly inheritance could be bred!
"God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. Don't worry, no one will know."

"It doesn't matter even if they know! They will definitely be more anxious. We don't have to do anything. They can come up with at least a hundred reasons to help us prove that the fake is the real thing."

"This..." Zhen Jiecheng frowned, "Teacher, this is not appropriate, right?"

"What's inappropriate? Listen to me!"

"I'll talk to the principal later. The school finance department will pay for the replica! It's made of pure gold and crystal, the materials alone are expensive! If you want a perfect one-to-one replica, you have to find a great craftsman. The labor cost is also a considerable expense."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng's cheeks twitched.

屮!
I'm obviously very unrestrained, so why am I still the cleanest among the directors of Beijing Film Academy?

Damn, learning never ends! We still have to be modest and keep working hard!
The symposium, or the meeting to publicize the leadership’s achievements, was a meeting where Jie Cheng openly boasted!
Facing all the gazes, Zhen Jiecheng only needed a few words to make the faces of these new bloods in the entertainment industry suddenly change.

"Sorry, I have to ask you to do your homework again!"

"I'm sorry, the amount of homework this time may be a little bit larger, the scope may be a little bit wider, and the teacher may pay more attention to it. The kind that will be carefully corrected and included in the final grade."

"Considering that I am the initiator and also a substitute teacher, I might pick a few examples and bring them to class to try to create another classic that will be passed down forever."

"Although I am a little embarrassed to have you all praise my work in various ways, no, analyze it, but who made me win the award?"

After that, he pointed to the Palme d'Or medal.

Faced with the terrified expressions of the crowd with their mouths slightly open and their eyes wide open, Zhen Jiecheng's evil taste was greatly satisfied.

So I put on a smiling face,

"Is it surprising? Is it surprising? Is it exciting?"

"Are you surprised? Are you unexpected? Are you thrilled?" Cheng Hao smiled.

Facing Zhen Jiecheng's shocked expression with his mouth slightly open and eyes wide open.

I felt extremely satisfied instantly!

He shook the "two bars" and pointed to the test report.

Finally, he flicked the weapon that Zhen Jiecheng had just taken off and revealed, and it went from standing up vigorously to drooping with a speed visible to the naked eye.

There was still mucus hanging from the corners of his eyes and his hat was not put back on.

It seemed that it was still unwilling to give up, and it struggled and jumped a few times.

"Hehe, you can't go in and do anything bad now!"

Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes and stroked his hair.
"mu~ma!"

He didn't feel disgusted and just gave her a kiss.

Just as he was about to use his hands and mouth, he was stopped by Zhen Jiecheng.

"Ask your uncle and aunt to send the household registration booklet to me, and then come back to Wuhu with me to register."

"Or I can go back and get my household registration booklet and go to Qingdao with you to register. That's fine!"

Hearing this, Cheng Hao's smile became even more intense.

I tried to open my eyes wide, as if I wanted to scan Zhen Jiecheng's serious expression thoroughly, down to every pore and every strand of hair. I wanted to record it accurately, freeze it, and carve it deeply in my mind.

Finally, the smile blossomed completely.

But shook his head,

"No registration! No marriage!"

"Ah?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned, "Why?"

"Because I want to have more children!"

Cheng Hao counted on his fingers.

"My mom said, if the first baby is a girl, then keep having more!"

"Aunt favors boys over girls?"

"No way! Have you forgotten? I am an only child!" Cheng Hao pouted.

When was the last time you pouted?

Oh yes, when you are in love!
After that, Cheng Hao never pouted again.

Because as the older sister, she has to be gentle, tolerant and caring.

You shouldn't show the coquettish attitude of a little girl.

"So, if it's a boy, then get married?" Zhen Jiecheng was distracted for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.

"nor!"

"My mom said, one is not enough, we need to have more!"

"When the time comes, I'll use my connections to get her registered in my household, so that she doesn't violate the family planning policy."

"It's a violation, so what? It's not like I can't afford the fine!" Zhen Jiecheng retorted.

"It's different!" Cheng Hao shook his head again.

Reaching out his hand, he gently stroked Zhen Jiecheng's face.

"Now that you have won the Palme d'Or and are about to participate in the Olympics, there are too many people watching you."

"Even though it will be exposed sooner or later, you should at least give your leader a way out and a reasonable reason."

"I have discussed it with my mother. I will be returning to Qing Island. So in the next year or so, I won't be able to take care of you. You have to take care of yourself."

"Come to Qingdao if you miss me. I'll ask my mom to make you something delicious and my dad to go fishing with you."

"As for the company, I will work remotely. I have already informed Sister Hua, and if there is any emergency, she will come over to help."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng thought about it and took out his cell phone.

"I'll call my parents and ask them to go to Qing Island!"

"No, uncle and aunt finally went out for some romance, why are you in such a hurry to call them back?"

Cheng Hao stopped Zhen Jiecheng,
"I was thinking of giving the two elders a surprise!"

"You are not allowed to get involved in this matter. I have the numbers of the two elders. I was chatting with my uncle and aunt yesterday."

"When my due date is approaching, I will call our parents!"

Saying this, blinking,

"dad."

"Ah?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned.

"father!"

Cheng Hao pouted.
"Hurry up and respond!"

"Oh!"

"Dad~"

"Hey."

"Dad, Daddy!"

"Shit! Don't use that voice, I can't stand it!"

"Oh, baby, listen, Daddy is so mean, is he going to hit you?"

Zhen Jiecheng: (￢_￢)
Cheng Hao left.

Because "Parasite" is about to be released and a premiere will be held, and many heavyweights will be attending, Zhen Jiecheng cannot escape.

He could only instruct his assistant to take good care of Cheng Hao throughout the whole process, and to go on "business trips" to Qing Island for more than a year, with his salary doubled.

"Hey, Haozi, come out and have some skewers and some drinks!"

"Ahem, Jie Cheng, you know me. I never go out in the middle of the night."

"Shit! Just eat some skewers and drink some wine! Isn't it just Sister Na who's right beside you? You haven't done anything wrong, so why should you feel guilty? Why don't you dare to fight with her?" Zhen Jiecheng spat, "Okay, I'm downstairs at your house, come on down."

"I have something serious to discuss with you. Brother Chen Long is coming to discuss cooperation on a project for a transformation project with me. Please help me with the advice."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Wait a minute, I'll be down soon."

Less than a minute after the call was hung up, Ning Hao appeared in front of Zhen Jiecheng, panting.

"When are you going to Hong Kong?"

"I have all my golf clubs ready!"

Unexpectedly, Zhen Jiecheng did not answer, but handed over a cigarette. After helping Ning Hao light it, he spoke:

"I will definitely not forget this, but now, I have something else I want to ask your opinion on."

"You ask!" Ning Hao nodded.

"Well, I have a friend."

Zhen Jiecheng carefully considered his words, and when he saw that Ning Hao had no other reaction, he said with relief,
"This friend asked me for advice, but I'm not sure what to do. So I want to ask you."

"He has a girlfriend, and she's pregnant."

"But he refused to get married and insisted on having a few children first."

"Then she went straight back to her parents' home to take care of her baby. My friend had to spend most of the next year or so alone."

"According to his partner, this will most likely continue to be the case for the next few years."

After a pause, he looked at Ning Hao.

"Haozi, please analyze this situation for me. What should my friend do?"

"Damn! There is such a good thing?" Ning Hao slapped his thigh fiercely, "How to do it? Of course, continue playing the music and dancing!"

"Damn it, don't you think this is too much? Very immoral?" Zhen Jiecheng rarely showed justice.

Ning Hao curled his lips in disdain.
"hehe!"

"Is there a possibility that your friend himself is immoral?"

"Is it possible that your friend's partner is already aware that her boyfriend is immoral?"

"Is there another possibility that the most annoying thing about this immoral person is that others have accepted his immorality, so whenever he behaves a little more morally, people are particularly relieved?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more indignant he became.
"In my opinion, people must have a clear understanding of themselves."

"Don't act like a worm crawling into a turtle shell. Do you really think that people won't recognize you if you put on a vest?"

"You are not a guild master, but you still want to pretend to be a cuckold?"

As he spoke, he leaned closer to his head.
"The child is just a special accident, registration is the real deal."

"Isn't that right, my friend?"

Yan Jiecheng:
"You know what, Haozi, I always get incompatible with you guys, the Beijing Film Academy directors, because I have a bottom line in my heart!"

"So?" Ning Hao blew out a smoke ring, "You are not a director of Beijing Film Academy?"

"Or do you only have one sister?"

Yan Jiecheng:
