"Why hasn't Qiurui come back yet? She went to talk to her class teacher about something and has been talking for three or four hours. It's almost time for dinner." Li Shaohong said, looking outside the house.
Hu Mei, Li Shaohong, and Tian Zhuangzhuang had already agreed that everyone would return to school to report today and gather at the Zhuxinzhuang base for dinner.
Originally, they wanted to wait for Zhang Qiurui to come back and cook. After all, Zhang Qiurui's cooking was delicious. However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing her come back, Hu Mei, Peng Xiaolian and Liu Miaomiao gradually prepared today's meal.
At this time, Zhang Qiurui had not returned yet, which made Li Shaohong feel suspicious. She frowned and looked at the door from time to time.
"Could something have happened? How could the head teacher have so much to say?" Zhang Yimou asked with some concern.
"Nothing will happen. On the contrary, it's a good thing. But it may not be a good thing for you." Zhang Wenfu said without any worry.
When she came to Yanjing, Zhang Qiurui told Zhang Wenfu that if nothing unexpected happened, she would shoot a movie this year, and this movie would be adapted from a novel she wrote.
His sister is smart and capable. No matter how old she is, she has made a lot of money. Zhang Wenfu doesn't even know how much money Qiu Rui has. It seems that in Zhang Wenfu's memory, there is nothing his Qiu Rui can't do as long as she wants to do it.
Therefore, Zhang Wenfu was not worried at all about his sister filming the movie.
On the contrary, Zhang Wenfu learned from Zhang Qiurui and the others that among their classmates, as long as the first person to shoot a movie has its movie released, they will call the person who shot the first movie "brother" or "sister".
Zhang Wenfu looked at Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige and the others, who were much older than Qiu Rui. The oldest was more than ten years older than Qiu Rui, and several were seven or eight years older. When the time came, they would all have to call their younger sister "sister". Zhang Wenfu felt secretly happy and proud.
"Brother Zhang, do you know something? Tell us about it." Zhang Huijun was very knowledgeable and shouted enthusiastically.
By the way, he also poured Zhang Wenfu a cup of tea.
"I do know a little, but it's hard for me to tell you. If nothing unexpected happens, my Qiu Rui will tell you after dinner."
"Qiurui is back." Zhang Wenfu's words had just fallen when Li Shaohong saw Zhang Qiurui walking towards them and she hurriedly said.
"Come on, hurry up and bring the food, let's eat.
I brought some wine to Yanjing. Yimou, Kaige, Zhuangzhuang, Xiaojin, Huijun, and the factory guards, let's have a drink." When Zhang Wenfu saw his sister coming back, he happily stood up and went back to his room to get some white wine.
Liu Miaomiao, Li Shaohong, Peng Xiaolian and others came out of the kitchen one after another carrying dishes and placed plates of delicious food on the dining table.
The dishes are rich and varied, including steamed fish, braised pork, stewed chicken soup, hot and sour cabbage, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried bean curd, stir-fried eggs with leeks, meatballs... There are more than a dozen dishes, half of which are hard dishes.
Zhang Qiurui walked into the room with a smile, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he felt this rare atmosphere of reunion.
As Zhang Wenfu took out a bottle of Sanda white wine from the room, everyone sat around the dining table and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Zhang Wenfu poured white wine for the boys one by one.
Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others raised their glasses to thank Zhang Wenfu for his hospitality.
Although they were all curious about what Zhang Qiurui had talked to the class teacher for so long, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it. Of all things, eating was the most wrong thing.
At the dinner table, everyone was chatting and laughing, talking about their experiences at home during the Spring Festival, as well as interesting and new things that happened.
Zhang Qiurui sat aside, listening quietly to everyone's sharing, occasionally inserting a humorous remark or two, which made everyone laugh.
There was a warm glint in her eyes, and she obviously cherished such a family gathering very much.
The atmosphere of the meal was warm and harmonious, as if even the air was filled with the scent of happiness.
After eating and drinking.
"Qiu Rui, you've been looking for the class teacher for such a long time. Brother Zhang said it was a good thing, but it might not be a good thing for us. I'm confused by what he said.
"Tell us about it." Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly changed the subject and brought the topic to Zhang Qiurui.
Zhang Qiurui smiled slightly, put down his chopsticks, and scanned the people present with a determined look. "I went to see my homeroom teacher today to tell him that I'm going to shoot a movie this year."
"What?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
Except for Zhang Wenfu, everyone else seemed to find Zhang Qiurui's words unbelievable.
For men who have drunk a little bit of alcohol, their reaction is slow and they seem to have not yet recovered from the sensation.
"Qiu Rui, in 1979, making a movie, do you know what that means?
The major film studios are facing a severe financial crisis. Take the directors of the major film studios for example, they have not been able to shoot a movie for several years.
If I fail once, I will almost lose the chance to direct a movie independently next time. For us students who haven’t graduated yet, we dare not even think about it.
Even if we graduate and are assigned to major studios, without money and connections, the first few years are essentially spent accumulating experience. Only after gaining experience do we get the chance to direct a film, and even co-direct with another director." Tian Zhuangzhuang came to his senses, his tone filled with shock and confusion.
