Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 262 Meeting Scheme, Chen Kaige from Beijing Film Studio (Monthly Ticket Plus)

When Fang Yan heard what Meng Jimin said, he was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Just to let someone read a manuscript, you have to take advantage of someone's misfortune?

As if he understood Fangyan's thoughts, Meng Jimin said:
"Don't laugh, this is what I saw in the physiognomy book a few days ago."

"Why do you think some of our previous contracts with the Russians were negotiated right over the table?"

"This is the wisdom of our ancient people."

Fang Chen, who was standing by, heard this and said to Fang Yan:

"Brother, what Jimin said makes some sense."

Meng Jimin said:
"What do you mean by a little bit of truth? This is the sum of many years of experience."

Fang Yan said to Meng Jimin:
"Okay then, let's get going."

After saying that, he pointed at the drawer box and said to Fang Chen:
"Old Four, take out the backup manuscript that you copied earlier. We'll take some of it with us."

Fang Chen asked:

"Not using the original manuscript? Wouldn't that make us seem informal?"

Fangyan shook his head and explained:

"No, if we don't bring the manuscript, he won't know who we gave the manuscript to."

"It creates a feeling that someone is competing with him, which can increase his sense of urgency."

Meng Jimin and Fang Chen were both startled, and then Meng Jimin pointed at Fang Yan and said to Fang Chen:
"You see, your brother has a different brain. He learned to draw inferences from one instance right away."

Fangyan interrupted:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to prepare the invitations and gifts. You guys put the manuscript in a file bag."

The two nodded and quickly agreed. Meng Jimin urged:
"Okay, go quickly."

Fang Yan returned to the main hall and found that the gift package he had asked to prepare in the morning was not placed in the cabinet, so he shouted towards the kitchen:

"Wife, where are the gift package and invitation card you prepared for Director Chen?"

"It's on the dressing table in the bedroom." Zhu Lin wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, pointing in the direction of the bedroom.

Dialect nod:

"Okay, I'll get it."

When I walked into the bedroom, I found a gift package on the dressing table.

There were also the photos taken last time. Fang Yan took a look at them, then walked out with the gift bag and said towards the kitchen:

"Wife, the photos you took turned out great."

Zhu Lin smiled and said:

"Yes, when I went to pick it up today, I promised them to enlarge it and put it in the store as a standard."

"Confiscate some of his portrait fee?" Fang Yan asked.

"What fee?" Zhu Lin was stunned.

The dialect said:

"It's just using us as advertising fees."

Zhu Lin immediately smiled and said:

"Haha, that's not the case. He just gave us two photo frames."

Fangyan nodded:
"Oh, that's okay too."

At this time, Meng Jimin also came out of the study with a file bag and said to Zhu Lin in dialect:

"Okay, I got the stuff, let's go now."

Zhu Lin reminded:
"Do you need some more fruit? There are some in the cabinet in the living room. I bought them this morning."

Dialect thought:
"Then bring some!"

Zhu Lin immediately said:

"I'll get you a new bamboo basket, just in time to deliver it directly."

Then she came out from the kitchen with a new bamboo basket.

I picked a basket of fruit for Fangyan.

Meng Jimin said enviously:

"Lao Fang, your wife is so thoughtful!"

Fang Yan glanced at him and asked:

"By the way, did you forget something?"

"Huh?" Meng Jimin was stunned and raised the file bag in his hand to indicate that he had forgotten nothing.

The dialect reminded:
"Brother, aren't you going to examine and treat someone? Why don't you bring a pack of silver needles?"

Meng Jimin was startled, slapped his forehead and said:
"Oh, yes! Then let's go to the hospital first."

Fangyan asked speechlessly:
“What kind of needle do you use?”

"Round and sharp needles and fine needles." Meng Jimin responded.

Dialect inquiry:

"What about the size?"

Meng Jimin said:
"0.35*40 fine needles, 1.0 diameter*1.6 inch round needles!"

Fang Yan turned around and walked towards the study:

"I have them all here. I'll give them to you."

Thinking of him treating occupational diseases, he asked again, "You don't use any special plasters, do you?"

"No, no." Meng Jimin shook his head repeatedly.

Then Fang Yan took out a new pack of silver needles from the bedroom and handed them to Meng Jimin:

"go!"

Meng Jimin took the needle bag and followed.

When they walked into the yard, Zhu Lin reminded:

"Be careful on the road, there's a lot of traffic on Sunday."

Fangyan nodded and told her not to worry.

Then Zhu Lin asked again:
"Will there be many people eating at home tonight?"

The dialect said:

"There's no rush right now. If someone comes back, I guess it won't be dinner time yet. If there are guests then, I'll cook for them myself."

"Okay!" The queen nodded and agreed.

After pushing the cart out of the yard, Fangyan asked Meng Jimin to sit in the cart and held the fruit basket in his arms.

Then he started the motorcycle and headed towards the Beijing Film Studio.

Beijing Film Studio is also in Haidian, with the Film Academy nearby, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Beijing Normal University to the south, and Peking University School of Medicine to the north, which is the school where Professor Wang, whom Fangyan has never had time to meet, is studying.

The geographical location is actually quite good.

Today is the weekend, and there are indeed many people and cars on the road, so Fangyan had to slow down. Meng Jimin was sitting in the truck bed, and because there was a glass windshield, he could talk to Fangyan normally. He only heard him say enviously:
"Mr. Fang, your family status is incredible. Your wife treats you like an emperor."

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"You make it sound like you have no say at home."

Meng Jimin's face froze:
"No, our family believes in democracy, and everyone has equal status..."

The two chatted as they moved forward. After leaving the city, there were fewer vehicles.

It didn't take long for the motorcycle to arrive outside the Beijing Film Studio.

The two did not enter through the main gate of the Beijing Film Studio, but went to the outside of the Beijing Film Studio community on the other side.

Fang Yan looked at the old man in the green military hat at the guard room, and the people who came in and out without being affected. He was confused about the rules for a moment and asked Meng Jimin:
"Should we go in directly? Or should we have someone notify them?"

Meng Jimin said:
"Just say something at the door and come in directly."

Fang Yan nodded, then drove the motorcycle to the guard booth. Meng Jimin said:
"Brother, it's me, the doctor from Dongzhimen. I'm here to see our director for a follow-up consultation."

The old man looked at him, then nodded without saying a word.

Fang Yan and Meng Jimin entered the Beijing Film Academy community.

"This old man is quite awesome?" Fang Yan said to Meng Jimin.

Meng Jimin said in a low voice:

"There are many hidden talents here, don't underestimate them."

"Why would I look down on others for no reason?" Fangyan was speechless and asked him:
"Stop talking about other things. Where is Director Chen's home that you are talking about?"

Meng Jimin said:
"I'll show you the way. Turn left at the intersection later..."

The Beijing Film Academy community is well built, with all the greenery and other facilities, better than that of Beijing Institute of Technology.

The sidecar that Fangyan rides doesn't seem to be a rare sight here. I saw several of them along the way. Of course, I don't know whether they belong to the company or individuals.

Meng Jimin pointed to the front:

"It's right here on the first floor."

Fang Yan stopped the car, and then he and Meng Jimin walked to the door.

Meng Jimin knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong"

"Who is it?" A young male voice came from the room.

Meng Jimin responded and the door was quickly opened.

He is a young man with particularly thick eyebrows.

Meng Jimin smiled at him and said:
"Kai Ge."

When Fangyan, who was standing by, heard this name, he immediately realized that this was the future director Chen.

When Chen Kaige saw Meng Jimin, he was very enthusiastic and grabbed his hand:

"Hey, Brother Meng, you're here so early today, please come in..."

Fangyan's expression was a little strange. When he thought about his previous life, his sexual orientation seemed a bit unorthodox when he was young.

Seeing him holding Meng Jimin's hand, Fang Yan couldn't help but get goose bumps.

Meng Jimin was pulled into the house and hurriedly greeted people in dialect.

Then he introduced it to Chen Kaige:

"This is my friend. He came here today to visit your father."

Only then did Chen Kaige notice Fang Yan, and after looking at his face for a moment, he immediately became enthusiastic.

While leading the two into the house, he said:
"My dad is in the study right now, reviewing the manuscript with Uncle Cai from the Writers Association. I'll go and let you know."

PS: I got 200 more monthly tickets yesterday, so after finishing this chapter I still owe you .

There's more in the afternoon.
