Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 192

After adjusting to the time difference, I first flew to Qing Island.

Cheng Hao's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he felt lazy. Besides being sleepy, he was also greedy.

To this end, after consulting a doctor, Cheng's mother prepared various dishes and snacks for her daughter and followed the principle of eating small and frequent meals. After Zhen Jiecheng's parents arrived at Qingdao, the two families successfully reunited and the villa suddenly became lively.

"Jiecheng is a good kid. Cheng Hao is lucky to have met Jiecheng!"

"He looks energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes."

"He's an honest man with no bad intentions."

"I'm used to seeing those half-baked people messing around, but look at Jie Cheng, he's so steady and down-to-earth!"

"Logically speaking, young people can't stand being wronged. But what about Jie Cheng? He would rather take the blame for his career!"

"My wife said, 'No matter how strong the wind blows or how strong the waves are, I will remain unmoved.' This is the bearing one should have when doing big things!"

Once Cheng's mother started praising, she became eloquent and couldn't stop.

This made Zhen's mother stunned.

This. This is talking about my son?
Zhen's mother subconsciously recalled the experiences of visiting the school office over the years and the content of the calls she received from teachers or the victims' parents.

honest?

Would Lao Shi hook up with a high school girl while singing, dancing and playing basketball in junior high school?
Would you honestly trick your newly graduated art teacher into taking a photo with you while fiddling with a camera in high school?
Honestly, I completely let go after entering university, so much so that the call from Beijing Film Academy was directly made to my workplace?
Sister Cheng, are you okay?
Your daughter was one of the victims back then!
It was also for this reason that when Zhen's mother learned that Cheng Hao was pregnant and arrived at Qing Island, she felt particularly guilty when faced with the enthusiasm of her two in-laws.

Look at this girl Cheng Hao, how considerate and tolerant she is!

Pregnant before marriage, but no marriage certificate is required.

Instead, they chose to have more children, taking advantage of the policy loopholes, so that the Zhen family could have many children and be blessed.

What about the in-laws? Not only did they not oppose it, but they fully supported it.

Comparing herself with the dissolute fellow in her family, Zhen's mother suddenly felt as if a TV drama had come true.

At that time, when watching those family law dramas in which the husbands ate, drank and had fun while the heroines suffered, Zhen's mother was always the one who cursed the most harshly.

But now
"Snapped!"

He raised his hand and slapped Zhen's father.

"Why did you hit me?" Zhen's father, who was chatting with his in-laws at the San Siro Stadium while watching the Milan derby, was stunned.

"Beat, beat, beat you to death. Cheng Hao is pregnant."

"Ah? Oh!" Hearing this, Zhen's father immediately put out his cigarette, "Yes, yes, you are right! This cigarette is indeed not suitable."

"Wait, I didn't smoke in the house, I smoked in the yard!"

"What's going on in the yard? The smoke must be floating into the sky. Maybe it will blow into the window and Cheng Hao will smell it."

Zhen's father: (￣ー￣)
"Hey, are you all chatting in the yard?" Suddenly, a voice sounded.

The four of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhen Jiecheng standing outside the gate with a suitcase.

"Jiecheng?" Cheng's mother stood up in surprise and went to greet him. "Hey, come in! I'll open the door for you."

"Just got off the plane? Have you eaten?"

"There's food at home. I'll heat it up for you!"

"By the way, is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"

Zhen's mother: [_?]
Isn't this my son? Why do I feel a little redundant?
The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became. So,
"Snapped!"

"I've already put out my cigarette, why are you slapping me?"

"Help you keep away mosquitoes!"

"Mosquito?" Zhen's father closed his mouth consciously.

Well, Qingdao is by the sea, and the temperature is suitable. There are mosquitoes in December in places with a lot of water. It is reasonable and normal!
Now that Zhen Jiecheng has arrived, the whole family can finally be reunited.

Cheng's father and mother went out to buy groceries. Cheng Hao didn't care about his parents-in-law standing by and held Zhen Jiecheng's arm as if he had endless things to say.

"Have I gained weight?" She pouted and pinched the flesh on her cheeks. "I can eat a lot now. I want to control myself, but I really can't help it."

"Nonsense, one mouth feeds two people."

"Snapped!"

The slap came immediately.

My mother glared at me.

"Nonsense? How can you talk to Cheng Hao?"

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng was dumbfounded.

Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled with a gloating look.

"Jie Cheng, this My Love from the Star is so popular right now!"

Pointing at the TV, Fan Bingbing on the screen had delicate makeup and looked charming and attractive.

Unlike the slow-burning "Soldier Assault", the popularity of "You Who Came From the Stars" has skyrocketed since its broadcast.

Xiangchu Satellite TV has made every effort to mention the show from time to time in its various variety shows, and even used advertising time in other time periods to promote the trailer of "You Who Came From the Stars".

The only thing he was not satisfied with was that there were too few episodes of My Love from the Star. Xiangchu TV called Cheng Hao more than once to inquire about cooperating on the sequel of My Love from the Star or other idol drama projects.

"Jie Cheng, I think I can act too!" He pouted, "What do you think?"

"I can act! I must be able to act!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded without thinking, "Sister, you are a heartthrob!"

"But I won't let you perform alone. I want to perform with you!"

"Me?" Zhen Jiecheng gritted his teeth, "I think so too."

"Pfft~ Okay, I'm just saying it. You've already retired, so why are you still acting in it?"

"Besides, you're a movie director. It's a bit unreasonable to spend two months acting in a TV series."

"Besides, you are so busy. How can I waste your time to satisfy my willfulness?"

"No matter how busy he is, he has to take care of your feelings. Otherwise, what's the point of having him?" The more considerate and virtuous Cheng Hao was, the more distressed Zhen's mother felt. With the bulging belly as the background, the look she gave Zhen Jiecheng became more unfriendly.

The sky is big, the earth is big, but the grandson is the greatest.

At this moment, Zhen's mother finally understood the look of disdain in which her biological mother looked at her.

However, even so, it does not prevent me from disliking my son now.

"Write a TV series for Cheng Hao later. Write it well! Write it carefully! Revise it several times after you finish writing it, and then save it there."

"Whenever Cheng Hao wants to act, you go and act with her!"

"No problem! Isn't it just writing a script? I'm good at this." Zhen Jiecheng responded quickly.

Anything that can be solved with the original work of "original" Koreans is not a problem.

Zhen Jiecheng has never felt the slightest bit guilty about this.

After all, we cannot arbitrarily assume that most Koreans do not plagiarize just because a few Koreans plagiarize.

They can copy others, so why can't I, Zhen, copy theirs?
"The Heirs"? "Descendants of the Sun"? Modify the setting and make some simple adjustments to the plot, and then film it in Hong Kong?

Let’s not talk about whether it’s suitable or not, let’s talk about “originality” first!

Zhen Jiecheng had this plan as early as 03, but he was too busy to do it later, so now is the perfect time to make up for it.

As the company grows bigger and bigger, it is time to prepare more projects and entrust them to its actors or use them to exchange resources.

Thinking about it, Zhen Jiecheng gradually became absorbed in his thoughts. Seeing this familiar scene, Cheng Hao quickly turned down the volume of the TV and signaled her parents-in-law to keep quiet.

After Zhen Jiecheng came to his senses, he spoke again.
"A sudden inspiration?"

"Yeah!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

"Then go to the study and write down your inspiration as soon as possible."

As Cheng Hao spoke, he urged Zhen Jiecheng to go to the study.

Then he turned to look at Zhen's mother.

"Mom, I'm heavy and it's inconvenient for me to run upstairs. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Please make some tea for Jie Cheng, pour some water in the ashtray, and open the window to let some fresh air in."

"By the way, don't forget to bring a pillow over to help Jiecheng cushion his waist. Also, Jiecheng often loses his lighter. There's one in the storage room, go find it. I remember it was on the table, take one over for Jiecheng as a backup."

Listening to Cheng Hao's skillful and meticulous arrangements, Zhen's mother became more and more satisfied.

Gently stroking Cheng Hao's hand,

"Okay, Mom will go right away!"

She reached into her husband's trouser pocket and took out a lighter.

"No need to look for it in the storage room. Isn't it already there?"

In this regard, Zhen's father was angry but dared not say anything.

Damn it, my son can smoke in the house, but I can’t in the yard?
Is there any king law?Are there any laws?
They even requisitioned my lighter!
mine!

The process of "original" is already familiar.

Especially the "original" Korean works, he is very adept at it.

The general plot framework and character design. Zhen Jiecheng only needs to do these, and the rest can be filled in and polished by the company's screenwriter team, and finally accepted by Zhen Jiecheng.

But even so, it still takes a lot of time.

I had just finished the first draft of "The Heirs" and hadn't even had time to finish the "original" "Descendants of the Sun" when the calls started coming in one after another.

Ning Hao is going to start a new project.

After waiting for a long time and still seeing no chance of a trip to Hong Kong, Ning Hao deeply understood a truth.

It is better to rely on the sky than on yourself.

If you bloom, golf will come!

The movie "Crazy Stone" made him a new commercial director, so what if he makes another one?

With the reputation of the first film, shouldn’t the box office of the second film be higher?

If one wants to enter the billion-yuan club, does one still need some damn person to act as a go-between?
However, when it came to polishing the script, Ning Hao, based on the principle of "don't use a bastard if you have someone to work with", directly urged Zhen Jiecheng to return to Beijing to contribute.

It is still a black comedy, and it still has a multi-line narrative structure.

Ning Hao wanted to make this work more beautiful, rather than just adding a poor imitation and bearing the reputation of having run out of ideas.

Not only Ning Hao, but Lao Mouzi also called.

The ten days spent together on the set of "Curse of the Golden Flower" made Lao Mouzi miss it very much.

Now that "Curse of the Golden Flower" has been released, Lao Mouzi doesn't want to worry about the spoofs on the Internet, the targeting of Jia Zhangke, or even many other issues including box office revenue and copyright sales.

Faced with the heavy pressure of the Olympic opening ceremony and the difficulty in advancing the program's creativity, Lao Mouzi had something in his heart that he wanted to say immediately:

"Jie Cheng, what do you think?"

Rough ideas are in urgent need of improvement, and missing inspirations are eager to be stimulated.

Bold ideas need support, and messy thoughts need discussion.

That is to say, the movie that Zhen Jiecheng shot some time ago was a Hollywood commercial action movie, not an artistic work. Otherwise, Lao Mouzi, who has already taken over the jury chairmanship of the Venice Film Festival next year, dared to hint at participating in the competition and blatantly show his partiality!

Who is favoritism if it is not favoritism?
Compared with Li An, it is obvious that the relationship between him and his junior fellow apprentice is closer.

"Jiecheng, I have already applied to the higher-ups!"

"Don't worry, Jiecheng. I will not let your efforts go to waste. I will definitely bring you enough scientific researchers!"

"I sincerely feel that the ignition scheme of 'Phoenix Returns to the Nest' takes into account the past and the future, tradition and innovation! Using technology to light the fire of civilization embodies the unique romantic sentiment of the Chinese people!"

"If the final test is successful, I will suggest to my superiors that we change the name of the Bird's Nest Stadium to 'Phoenix Nest'! Only in this way can it live up to the name 'Phoenix Returns to the Nest'."

Balabala, talking non-stop.

At last,
"So, when will you return to Beijing?"

"Jie Cheng, when will you come back?"

"You can't possibly not attend the premiere of Let the Bullets Fly, right?"

From Ning Hao to Lao Mouzi, and then to Jiang Wen.

What changes is the content of the conversation, what remains unchanged is the final demand.

Fan Bingbing, who became a big hit with "My Love from the Star", gave Jiang Wen more confidence to bring "Let the Bullets Fly" into the Lunar New Year box office and compete head-on with "Curse of the Golden Flower" which is still reaping box office revenue.

Zhang Weiping was extremely dissatisfied with this and spoke in a sarcastic tone many times in media interviews.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen became even more excited.

If I can't make idiots feel uncomfortable, what's the point of my bragging?
Isn't it "Curse of the Golden Flower"? Do it!
"Back! I'll buy the ticket tomorrow, okay?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely attend the premiere of Let the Bullets Fly on time."

One urging phone call after another gave Zhen Jiecheng a headache.

Unexpectedly, just after hanging up the phone with Jiang Wen, another call came in.

"Tell me! You called me to ask me when I'll be back in Beijing!" Zhen Jiecheng gritted his teeth, "Tell me now! Otherwise, I'll tell the paparazzi tomorrow: Jie Lun did it too!"

"I-I didn't plan to ask you when you will return to Beijing!" Jie Lun was confused on the other end of the phone.

"Well, that's good!" Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, now you can tell me what you want to talk to me about."

"Um. When will you come to Taiwan Province?"

Jie Lun asked weakly,
"Well, I have contacted a lot of people these days and made a lot of new friends. When you come to Bay Province, I will introduce them all to you!"

Without waiting for Zhen Jiecheng to answer, Jie Lun began to read out the names as if he was announcing the dishes.

Each name read out will be accompanied by a detailed introduction, including but not limited to age and measurements.

Some of the names looked familiar; Zhen Jiecheng had seen them on Li Zongrui's list.

Some of them are not very familiar, but the content in the detailed introduction is very smooth!
Until a name that left a particularly deep impression on him sounded, and Zhen Jiecheng's tone instantly softened.

"I can't go for now. Let's wait until after the New Year. I'll be very busy recently!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Jiecheng didn't want to stay in the study any longer and planned to go out for a walk.

But as soon as I stepped into the living room, I was greeted by Cheng Hao's meaningful gaze.

He raised the newspaper in his hand, and the promotional poster of "Let the Bullets Fly" came into view.

Zhen Jiecheng was stunned for a second, and then he cursed angrily.

"Damn you Jiang Wen!"
