As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.
She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...
"nothing."
Lin Jingyu didn't know how to tell him about the Peng family.
Lu Qingyang seemed to have thought of something.
He couldn't help but look over at Peng Shiyu.
Hearing her parents mention what had happened a few days ago, Peng Shiyu's mood suddenly sank, and she looked at Lin Jingyu as well.
Clearly, all three of them knew what was going on.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.
"Sister Jingyu~"
Peng Shiyu mustered her courage and couldn't help but speak up, "My parents said... my family separated from my uncle's family."
"I know."
Lin Jingyu said calmly, "Whether your family splits up or not is up to your elders to decide."
"I, I know."
Peng Shiyu looked at her, still unable to suppress the question she most wanted to know, "Sister Jingyu, will you and my brother... will you break off your engagement?"
"have no idea."
Lin Jingyu's expression remained unchanged, as if it had nothing to do with her. "Your older brother hasn't come back yet, so whether or not the engagement is called off is not something to decide now."
"Little sister!"
Lu Qingyang still spoke up to participate in the topic, "I think we should respect our own thoughts and not let others sway us for no reason."
What's suitable is suitable, and what's not suitable is not suitable. Don't force yourself for anyone else.
"Jingyu, I support you too."
Peng Shiyu spoke her mind, saying, "Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so don't compromise yourself. As long as you feel good about yourself, that's all that matters."
Just like you said before, don't change yourself for anyone; the most important thing is to be happy.
"You're right, I will."
Lin Jingyu smiled slightly, "No matter what, we don't need to worry about this for now."
We should wait until we face the problem before making a choice to solve it.
The two nodded in agreement.
Seeing that she really didn't take it to heart, Lu Qingyang and Peng Shiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they moved on to other topics.
Lu Qingyang stayed for a few days before rushing back to the mainland.
I also took back five million yuan to prepare for further investment.
The Ye siblings followed Li Moyu and explored the entire Xiangdu area.
I also got to know quite a few people.
I learned a lot about the current situation in Xiangdu.
At this time.
Lin Jingyu brought her own film.
Under Mr. Jin Ming's guidance, Mr. Shao, Mr. Zou, Mr. He, and the cinema manager, among others, were invited to watch the film together.
If the film is well-received, it will receive at least 20% to 30% of the initial screenings.
If the film gains further recognition from audiences, theaters will continue to increase screenings, and the box office will continue to rise.
"Miss Lin, you've had quite a few new films lately."
Mr. Shao said with a smile, "How many screenings your film gets depends on the quality of your film."
"I see."
Lin Jingyu looked at everyone and said, "Let's let the film speak for itself. I trust all of you seniors, and I'll leave everything to you."
Mr. Zou picked up the conversation, saying, "Jingyu is right. We'll make a decision after watching the film."
Mr. He then added, "Let's watch the film first."
The small theater fell silent instantly.
When they saw the film's title, they all frowned.
Clearly, this type of film surprised them.
They had initially had some expectations, but for some reason, they felt a lack of confidence.
Because they had a saying in mind: people from the mainland who try to adapt to this place will indeed suffer from "culture shock".
However, they did not say anything.
As the story unfolded, its comedic style finally piqued their interest.
Although no one laughed, they still smiled when they saw the funny parts.
Regardless of the story's quality, the fact that it could bring smiles to these old foxes' faces is enough to show that the story is relaxing and interesting.
More than an hour later.
The movie has finally ended.
The lights were turned back on and everyone sat together.
“It feels pretty good.”
Mr. He took the initiative to speak, "It's a comedy style we're familiar with, and the story is pretty good too, it's worth watching."
"The quality isn't bad; I'd give it an eight out of ten."
Mr. Zou added, "But this is a police drama, I don't know if the audience will be able to accept it."
Everyone knows that the police officers these days are just thugs, and the citizens despise them.
This film portrays the police officer as a hero, risking his life to catch criminals, which is obviously a bit exaggerated.
"good."
Mr. Jin Ming's tone carried a hint of worry, "The film is indeed well-made, and the story is also good, but this kind of subject matter is a bit risky."
At this point, he looked at the person next to him and asked, "Mr. Shao, what do you think?"
"fine."
Mr. Shao smiled and said, "The box office shouldn't be too bad, Miss Lin. My Shaw Brothers Cinema can arrange 30% of the screenings for three days. If the box office goes up, we can continue to increase the number of screenings."
If the box office performance is not ideal, then we will have to reduce the number of filming sessions. I wonder if Ms. Lin would be willing to accept that.
"Can."
Lin Jingyu readily agreed.
She knew that getting this much screen time for her new film was already the best treatment she could get.
No one else objected to Mr. Shao's suggestion.
Aside from the less-than-ideal subject matter, they quite liked the story's style and didn't think it was a film that was "out of place."
“Our cinemas can also allocate 30% of their screening time to filming.”
Mr. He looked at Lin Jingyu with a puzzled expression. "Miss Lin, you've been in Xiangdu for almost a year. You should know that this subject matter is very likely to be boycotted by the audience."
