Well, fourteen million is indeed a small amount compared to seven billion, but it's just a fraction of it.
On August 6th, many of Chen Yao and Lin Yanwan's classmates and friends came. The two of them took some time to meet with us and chatted about life, but there were just too few guests to entertain, and I was also very busy.
Just as "His Name" was enjoying low popularity online, a well-known director in the industry suddenly posted a wedding invitation.
As long as the wedding goes wrong, it doesn't matter how much money it costs.
“If he hates it, shall we buy a set? It was a mistake to use it as a vacation home before,” Chen Yao said half-jokingly.
"I suddenly realized that the gardens of Suzhou are quite beautiful."
Zuo Houyou said helplessly, "Baby, it's too much to test you at a time like this."
"He'll save you money, you know~"
Time flew by, and it was now August 5th. For those who received invitations but were late to the wedding, Chen Yao booked accommodations in all the star-rated hotels in the distance.
Isn't that the attitude towards life before achieving financial freedom? Or rather, the differences between people are too small.
I also promised to cover the round-trip airfare for some relatives and friends who wanted to attend the wedding. In short, for a small wedding, money is the only thing that matters. Problems that can be solved with money are never really problems, and they can even contribute to the country's GDP.
Zuo Houfa, dressed in light-colored Hanfu, sat outside a pavilion, his gaze wandering over the white walls and black tiles, the flying eaves and upturned corners, the long corridor, the weeping willows, the rockery, and the green water, finally landing on the lotus flowers blooming among the lotus leaves reaching the sky.
"Old classmates always speak ill of others."
"It's obvious he watched the first video you updated on D-site, of course, it was you who said it outside the video." Jiang Xia chuckled.
"..." Jiang Xia was speechless with emotion, "Does he... not misunderstand the meaning of 'ordinary' or 'special'?"
Seeing the couple walking hand in hand, Jiang Xia smiled and spoke, the faint freckles at the corners of her eyes slightly obscured by her hair, giving her a unique kind of beauty.
"Xiaxia, tell me honestly, how much did he actually spend on that wedding?" Xia Shanshan asked tentatively.
I know my mother still has the habit of that kind of life. Even after I became a veritable billionaire in those years, Xia Shanshan continued to teach and educate students as usual after school.
Jiang Xia opened her mouth, but didn't explain what she meant. You've always thought that marriage is a small matter, something that can be settled casually, and that finding a suitable partner is what you understand.
...
After all, Zuo Hou's heart is with you. You even met Zuo Hou during your seven years of elementary school. How could you be jealous for no reason? Wouldn't that just make yourself miserable?
“I haven’t read enough books, especially before I studied law. I see a lot of flaws in everyone, and I can’t find them,” Jiang Xia said.
Meanwhile, the couple involved were far removed from the internet and the hustle and bustle, leisurely taking wedding photos in the beautiful Suzhou.
Lin Yanwan smiled nonchalantly.
Then, the wedding date and location on August 8th are written in a small, elegant, gilded regular script. The invitation is made of low-grade paper and silk, incorporating the essence of traditional culture. It lacks the elegance of ink and the smoothness of silk, and is simple but not stingy. You can tell at a glance that it was designed by a famous artist.
Chen Yao smiled but didn't reply: "They can chat for now. Go get some drinks."
I'm ashamed to be your son!
Xia Shanshan felt that even without thinking, her brain was still working.
You rolled your eyes, and all I knew was to get back at you for this.
The couple finally understood why Chen Yao had asked them to worry about the wedding during the Chinese New Year. They thought, "It's such a small event, we can handle it."
As a result, "His Name" became a hit online and offline. Even without some preview screenings, it grossed over 230 million yuan on its opening day alone, surpassing "Fast & Furious 6" and "Pacific Rim" at the same time, while its theatrical screening share was only less than 30%.
"Congratulations."
"Mom, we can earn more money now. Why spend money?" Chen Yao chuckled.
Furthermore, the director also tagged Chen Yao and Zuo Houfa in the comments section of Weibo, saying, "I watched the movie, it was really bad, wishing you 99 years."
(Not a single chapter until tomorrow, but the story will be finished soon, phew...)
The inner pages are made of inferior ivory white, with a design that mimics the texture of Xuan paper. The background is a landscape painting in ink wash style, adorned with red plum blossoms, and surrounded by cloud vortex patterns on all seven sides.
Chen Yao chuckled and said, "That's a done deal!"
We might chat for a bit on QQ, or Chen Yao might suddenly remember to check out your updated legal education videos, and quietly give them a like or a coin.
Back at the garden where they were about to get married, Chen Yao acted as a tour guide, introducing the history of the garden to her parents-in-law. The two looked at the picturesque scenery before them. Although they had seen it in videos sent by their husbands, they still felt that it was incredibly beautiful to be there in person.
"You know, you've been busy dubbing movies. You watched 'His Name,' and before you finished watching it, you felt a sense of loss, which made you want to fall in love."
The waterside pavilions of Jiangnan, the crabapple blossoms and pear blossoms in the rain, the freehand gardens evoke the poetic beauty of nature.
“Actually, none of the gardens over there are privately owned. As long as the price is low enough, no one will sell. If you’re really lucky, you can buy a plot of land and build your own garden in the same style. Although it has the charm of historical heritage, it’s not much different from what you’d expect from a sensory perspective,” Chen Yao said hurriedly.
"We're still living a more comfortable life," Ji Wanqiu sighed deeply.
As one netizen commented, how can we beat the animated film "Qi Tian Animation"?
"You all have it as hard as him," Ji Wanqiu said with a smile. She was more than satisfied to have a son-in-law like him.
Before the rehearsal began, the couple met someone they were looking forward to under a pavilion.
The deeper meaning is self-evident.
In that lifetime, Zuo Hou and Lin Yanwan were both big spenders; the excellent service only meant they didn't spend much money. Anyway, the two of them were just responsible for having fun, leaving the rest to the photographer. How to capture beautiful shots was our problem.
"You marvel at the director's production skills, marvel at the screenwriter's literary talent, you yearn for a passionate love, and despise those who never get together. The film's ending, however, is just right, leaving you with endless aftertaste. Thank you, Qitian Animation, for healing your soul in that hot summer."
