Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 56 056 [Qinqin gave the Guanyin statue, it’s time to take action! ]

Yanjing Railway Station.

After Li Yishu met her parents, she began to complain: "Dad, Mom, didn't I tell you to come here by plane? It's so tiring to take the train!"

There are no express trains now. It takes thirty to forty hours, or almost two days and two nights, to take a green train from Sichuan to Yanjing. When Li Yishu took the train alone before, she almost vomited.

He is a young man and he is like this. His parents are in their forties and have been sitting for so long that their faces have changed a little.

"Is flying free?"

Mother Zhao Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Mom knows you've made some money, but every penny saved counts, and you underestimate your dad and me. When conditions were not good before, your dad and I would walk hundreds of kilometers to film."

Father Li Jian nodded and said, "Your mother is right. Your mother and I are not so old that we can't even take a train."

"I... forget it, let's go home first."

Li Yishu hesitated to speak. After he sold the copyright, he did not tell his parents the specific number because he was afraid of scaring them.

He just said that he made some money. It seems that he can give a good explanation this time.

Our family has achieved financial freedom.

Soon the group got into a taxi.

Li Yishu didn't let the driver wait for other passengers and directly chartered a car.

Nowadays, all taxis in Yanjing are yellow vans, and the ride is not comfortable. In order to carry more passengers, the municipal government specially made this type of vehicle.

Half an hour passed.

After getting off the car, Zhao Xue looked around and asked curiously, "Aren't we going to the hotel? Why are we parked at the entrance of the alley?"

Li Yishu paid the money and then turned around and said, "I bought a small courtyard house here."

The second eldest was shocked: "You bought a house in Yanjing?"

"Yeah, I bought this set because I thought you two would come."

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't know you yet?"

Zhao Xue didn't believe her son's lies, but she didn't blame him for buying a house. She just asked, "How much did it cost?"

"Go in and take a look first."

Li Yishu smiled and picked up her parents' luggage and led them into the alley.

After a while, he arrived at a door, took out the key and unlocked it.

Zhao Xue couldn't wait to walk in. Seeing that the courtyard was well-designed and had three rooms, she liked it very much. "Your courtyard is well-made."

"Well, it's pretty good. Did you do all this?" Li Jian nodded with satisfaction. They have lived in the staff housing building of Emei Factory for nearly twenty years, so they naturally know the inconveniences of the building.

Now that I see my son has bought this courtyard house with a small yard, I think it must be comfortable to live here. Who doesn’t like a house with its own door and private entrance?

Li Yishu shook her head and said, "No, it was done by the seller before. He packed it up and left it to me."

"That……"

Li Jian was about to say something when Zhao Xue interrupted him immediately, "Don't ask yet, Yishu, you haven't told me how much this courtyard house cost yet, did you spend all your earnings?"

All spent?
Then I guess I can buy Prince Gong’s Mansion.

Li Yishu shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Mom and Dad, let's go inside first. I have something to tell you."

Zhao Xue and Li Jian looked suspicious, but still followed their son into the house.

A few minutes later.

"What?"

"real or fake?!"

"How can I spend so much money?"

“……” It took a while for Father Li Jian to come back to his senses from his shock.

Although he knew that his son had made some money from selling the copyright of "That Mountain", he thought it was only a few hundred thousand or a million at most.

But I didn’t expect it to be more than 1000 million, in US dollars.

Mother Zhao Xue was different. After she knew her son had so much money, she started to nag about how he shouldn't become a bad person just because he had money...

"Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

Facing her mother's nagging, Li Yishu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Besides, this little money is nothing. Who knows, in the future, you actors may be able to make more than 200 million a day."

"How is that possible! 200 million a day, how much money would the crew have to spend to make the movie!" Zhao Xue shook her head. She would never believe that an actor could earn more than 200 million a day in the future.

"That's hard to say. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Li Yishu smiled.

Many years later, someone invested 300 million yuan to make a weight loss film, and 200 million yuan to make a script-killing film. Where did all this investment money go? It was still distributed to the actors and directors.

"Alright, I don't care how much your courtyard house costs, or how much money you have. Just be honest and obey the law. Don't think you are great just because you have a little money. Back then, even Zhu..."

Before Zhao Xue finished speaking, Li Jian interrupted her and said, "Why are you telling this to the child? It's all old news."

Li Yishu pretended not to understand and said enthusiastically, "Mom and Dad, let's go, I'll show you the room."

He brought the two of them to the east wing, which had already been decorated with the help of Yu Feihong.

Originally, Li Yishu wanted to take her to meet her parents, but the girl was a little embarrassed and said she would visit later.

After entering the house, Zhao Xue suddenly sent Li Jian away, opened the suitcase, and took out the stone statue of Guanyin.

"Qinqin asked me to bring this to you. She originally wanted to come to Yanjing with us to spend a few days, but the movie is still being filmed and it will probably take until the end of next month to finish."

"Why did Qinqin give me this?"

Li Yishu took it curiously. Although some people said that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, that was a jade pendant. How could they give the Guanyin statue directly as a gift?

Zhao Xue smiled and said, "Take a closer look."

Hearing this, Li Yishu lowered his head to observe carefully, and soon found that the Guanyin statue was somewhat similar to Jiang Qinqin. He looked up and asked in surprise: "Is this carved based on Qinqin's appearance?"

"Yes, her movie is about Guanyin, and the crew needed a life-size stone sculpture that matched Qinqin's appearance, so they specially invited a carving master from Shancheng to help with the carving. After Qinqin found out, she also asked the master to help carve this small one."

Zhao Xue said this meaningfully, "Son, Qinqin is a good girl. Mom is an experienced person. Sometimes you have to act decisively when it's time to act. Don't miss it, or you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, Li Yishu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What does it mean to strike when it's time to strike?

Although people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan used to have the habit of getting married early, and there are still many girls who get married early, they are already 18 or 19 years old.

"Let me tell you, your cousin from your hometown..."

Seeing that her mother was about to say something, Li Yishu immediately interrupted and said, "Okay, Mom, don't tell anyone about this. Your son is now more or less a famous director. If someone knew about this and reported it, it would be a disaster."

Hearing this, Zhao Xue didn't say anything more. Nothing was more important than her son's future.

Before they asked for leave to come to Yanjing, the Emei Film Studio had a special talk with the couple, asking if Li Yishu could be given a position in their studio.

This is enough to show how much of a popular commodity my son is now.

In the next few days, Li Yishu took his parents around Yanjing.

They visited several famous attractions such as the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, and also went to see the memorial hall of the original statue in Sichuan Square. The old couple were in tears.

Until the end of October.

After Gong Li came back from her hometown, Li Yishu arranged for the couple to fly back to Sichuan, while he and Gong Li went to Hong Kong to prepare for the filming of "The Banquet".
