Chapter 470 The World is So Big 3 We Must Stay Here! We Must...
The middle-aged man in front of me is called Pu Yongkang. He is good at shooting kung fu films and martial arts films. The works he directed are very delicate and vivid, with both grand family and country feelings and lingering love between men and women.
The portrayal of female characters in his works is relatively three-dimensional. There are no purely good or evil people. Everyone has their own reasons, but everyone has their own persistence. Even the villains will act according to the principles they uphold, even if it means a fierce clash with the protagonist, and they will not back down even if both of them will perish.
This has led to an interesting phenomenon: the supporting actresses in several of his works have overshadowed the leading male actors. After all, his leading male actors are basically the same - passionate men, full of courage, shouldering the moral high ground, and hiding love in their hearts.
If you do it a few more times, the audience will get tired of it.
However, perhaps it is precisely this kind of male protagonist who can speak out against injustice when he sees it, so he only made some minor adjustments to the male protagonist's character, and used the remaining effort to create those flesh-and-blood female characters.
Or the nun who led a group of young nuns to defend the mountain gate to the death when her country collapsed; or the female spy who maneuvered between the various colonizers in the foreign lands; or the rural woman who lived a life of poverty and was incredibly stingy, but tremblingly gave her last bit of change to a neighbor's child when he had a fever; or the heroic female warrior who preferred arms to red clothes, bullets loaded, to fight the Japanese to the end...
In short, if Yao Taotao and Yao Yingying can become familiar to Pu Yongkang, it will definitely be much smoother if they really want to work in this field in the future.
Fortunately, they were lucky today. After Shao Zhendong gave a brief introduction, several people chatted and learned that Pu Yongkang had a script about anti-Jin war, and there were several female roles that had not been decided yet. So they made an appointment with Yao Taotao to go to the company for an audition three days later.
As for Yao Yingying, since she has not come from the mainland yet, Pu Yongkang temporarily gave her a supporting role as a good wife and mother. She doesn't have many scenes, and any temporary adjustments will not affect the main plot. It doesn't matter if the role is cast later, which gives Yao Yingying enough time to travel.
After discussing Yao Taotao's and Yao Yingying's roles, Pu Yongkang looked at Yao Zhizhi curiously: "Ms. Yao, what about you? Are you not interested in filming?"
"Director Pu is so kind, I shouldn't refuse. But I have other work to deal with and I really don't have time." Yao Zhizhi declined. It's not that she has any resistance to filming, but she is a person with a gossipy nature and is not suitable for this circle.
Well, ever since she arrived at the film and television company and studio, her mind has never been quiet.
It's not about a famous director secretly having sex with a Miss Hong Kong, or a Miss Hong Kong becoming a boss's mistress, or a producer who appears to have a family and a harmonious marriage, but is actually gay, and two of the male artists he's had sex with happen to be nearby, or another example...
In short, Yao Zhizhi's head was about to explode from the noise of the system.
She quickly changed the subject to her own script: "Well, I'm currently writing a script. If Director Pu is free, I'd like to ask him to introduce some people in the industry to give me some guidance."
Pu Yongkang smiled. So that's how it is. Although it's a bit of a pity, everyone has their own aspirations. So forget it, and asked Yao Zhizhi for her contact information.
Considering that she wanted to make a name for herself in this industry, it would be better to use a more grand name, so Yao Zhizhi wrote the three words "Yao Ruzhen".
Pu Yongkang read it once and praised: "Ruzhen, it's a good name."
Yao Zhizhi thanked him with a smile and then said goodbye.
On the way back, Yao Taotao asked her, "Why did you leave a fake name?"
"Just think of it as my new pen name." Yao Zhizhi didn't explain. It was too bloody to talk about those things that happened in the other world, so forget it.
Yao Taotao quickly accepted this statement and said after a moment of contemplation, "Indeed, when Big Sister comes, we'll all be called Yao Moumou, which won't be easy to tell apart. Big Sister and I won't change it. Your name is really good and suits you very well."
"Well, I'll go back and ask Third Brother if he needs to add any additional procedures." Yao Zhizhi hasn't decided yet whether to change the information in her mainland household registration book as well.
In fact, in Hong Kong, when artists enter the industry, they usually take a stage name, and many people have not officially changed the name on their household registration documents.
However, this will result in a name inconsistency when signing the contract and collecting payment.
Fortunately, these artists have their companies to arrange things for them, so they don't need to worry about these things. Yao Zhizhi is responsible for herself. If there is a mistake in her name, it will be difficult to deal with in the future. At the very least, it will cause a joke, and at worst, it will cause economic losses.
It’s better to go back to the mainland and make some changes.
Fortunately, she has already graduated, so there is no need to trouble the school. I just need to note her former name in the future.
As for passes and such, it’s not difficult to get them.
After making the changes, come back and complete the relevant procedures for registering and applying for the publishing house to avoid further trouble in the future.
However, in this case, she would have to go back to the mainland for a few days, and it would be troublesome for the child to follow her back and forth. It would be better for the child to stay in Hong Kong and let the father take care of him.
So at lunch time, when Qi Changxiao just came back from outside, he learned that his wife was going back to the mainland alone for a few days.
Qi Changxiao was dumbfounded and asked, "Change your name? So suddenly?"
"It's not that sudden. A few years ago, Aunt Zhou's family's troubles upset me, and I wanted to change it then, but I didn't because I was afraid of the trouble. Now I want to run my own publishing house and write scripts, so I want to change the name to something more grand." Yao Zhizhi handed the written name to Qi Changxiao, "This is it."
Qi Changxiao thought about it and realized that his wife had indeed been worried about Zhou Juan's troubles in those years, and his wife's name happened to be given by Zhou Juan's mother.
Well, after changing the name, I can say goodbye to the people and things in Yaowangzhuang completely from now on.
But this meant that the couple would have to separate, and he felt reluctant to let them go, so he suggested, "Can't I go with you?"
"You have to keep an eye on the renovations." Yao Zhizhi smiled and rejected him. "I haven't been able to relax alone for a long time. Just treat it as a vacation for me."
"Okay." Qi Changxiao did not insist. To be honest, from the time they got married until now, he and Yao Zhizhi were only separated for a few days when he helped Yang Shuming catch the criminal. At other times, they were together.
After more than ten years of living together day and night, he couldn't imagine how he would live without his wife. Fortunately, his two children were still around, so he didn't feel empty, lonely and cold.
After he finished eating, he hurried to help pack the luggage.
Seeing this, Yao Taotao wanted to ask Yao Zhizhi if she was willing to bring Yao Yingying over, but then she thought, forget it, Zhizhi doesn't like her elder sisters and the others, so it's better not to cause trouble for Zhizhi, so she chose to remain silent.
Yao Zhizhi quickly returned to the mainland. Since household registration books were handwritten these days, it was not difficult to change them, so she got it done quickly.
Holding the new household registration page, she silently looked up at the endless blue sky. Okay, from now on, she is no longer Yao Zhizhi, but Yao Ruzhen.
When he came out, he happened to meet Yao Yingying who was there to apply for a pass. Yao Ruzhen gave Yao Yingying a friendly look and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Yao Yingying was completely confused. She didn't know which departments to go to. After all, she left in a hurry and finally relied on her money to get through the loophole. It would definitely be more troublesome for Yao Yingying to follow the normal process.
He didn't bother to be polite with Yao Ruzhen and said, "I'm dizzy from running around. Can you help me find out who these two are looking for?"
Yao Ruzhen took the documents from Yao Yingying's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go. I know who to ask for the stamps."
Sure enough, it was different when there was help. Yao Yingying ran around so hard that she couldn't find the way, but Yao Ruzhen took action and finished it in less than an hour.
Yao Yingying felt very sorry and said with a smile, "It's so hot, thank you for your hard work. Come to my place for dinner."
Yao Yingying was just being polite. After all, if Yao Taotao hadn't smoothed things over the years, they wouldn't have been able to talk to each other.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruzhen actually agreed and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm too lazy to cook, so I'll go to your place and have a meal."
"Ah... oh, okay." Yao Yingying was a little caught off guard. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that perhaps time had really changed. The little sister in front of her no longer had resentment and anger in her eyes, and only had passion and striving full of ambition.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after returning, she quickly started to get busy with Zhang Cai Ni.
Although the application materials for the pass have been submitted, they still have to wait for approval from the relevant departments. Yao Yingying still cannot leave for the next few days, so she plans to continue working as a tailor.
After dinner, she sat in front of the sewing machine, thudding and thudding, continuing her unfinished work.
Yao Ruzhen had to admit that this elder sister had her merits. She was beautiful, gentle, hardworking, and willing to work. Sitting under the incandescent light, she was the virtuous wife and mother that all men yearned for.
Such a good woman should not be buried in this small space. It's time for her to go out and see the world.
So Yao Ruzhen held her hand and said, "Stop it. Go to bed early. I'll take you guys out to play tomorrow."
"Ah? Zhi... Ruzhen, don't you need to go back to accompany the children?" Yao Yingying was shocked. What was he going to do? Could there be something wrong with her younger sister's marriage?
She quickly put down the cloth in her hand, her face full of panic.
Yao Ruzhen smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I came back this time to change my name. I'm the only one here."
"Then aren't you leaving tomorrow?" Yao Yingying still didn't follow her train of thought.
Yao Ruzhen raised an eyebrow and said, "What will you do if I leave? My second sister is worried that you'll be bullied on the road, and she wants me to go with you, but she's too embarrassed to ask. Call her back later to save her from worrying. We're waiting for the pass, so let's go for a walk around the area in the next few days."
Yao Yingying was dumbfounded. She stood there for a long time before she reacted. She quickly wiped away her tears of joy and called back.
The next day, Yao Ruzhen took Yao Yingying, Zhang Caini and the children on a trip.
I climbed Mount Huangshan, and two days later, I climbed Mount Taishan. I also watched the sunrise at the beach, experienced the hardships of fishing on a fishing boat, dug for clams, and picked up shells on the beach.
Yao Ruzhen stood on the beach, the afterglow of the setting sun spread over the entire sea, wave after wave, as if wanting to stuff bags of gold and silver into her arms.
She smiled and picked up the camera, taking a photo of Yao Yingying and the others. In the camera, Yao Yingying was contentedly holding two handfuls of shells, showing them to Zhang Caini like a treasure. Zhang Caini came over excitedly, as if she had discovered some pirate treasure.
At this moment, happiness is so simple.
And at this moment, the world is so vast.
Yao Zhizhi is no longer Yao Zhizhi, but Yao Ruzhen, the Yao Ruzhen who has completely overcome suffering and hardship and can calmly say hello to yesterday.
Soon, the group returned to Yicheng and obtained passes.
Yao Ruzhen went to her parents-in-law's house for a meal, then returned to the courtyard by the lake to sleep for the night and leave the next day.
Unexpectedly, I met Cao Guangyuan and Ma Xiangqin at the doorstep. She was holding a baby in her arms. This was the baby I conceived before, and she was born safely.
Yao Ruzhen didn't intend to invite them in, so he stood at the gate and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm here to return your money." Cao Guangyuan pushed Ma Xiangqin, and Ma Xiangqin handed the damp stack of banknotes in her hand to Yao Ruzhen, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Yao Ruzhen was curious: "Are you rich now?"
"Yeah." Cao Guangyuan was embarrassed to say that the money was given by Chao Risheng, so he could only bite the bullet and vaguely pass it off. Fortunately, Yao Ruzhen did not ask any further questions.
She took the money and went over to look at the child. It was not easy for Cao Guangyuan to finally get his wish and have another son. It seemed that he was well raised and the child was plump and white.
But she still had to give her a few words of advice: "Get along well with Yang Xiuyun. Have you been irritating her recently?"
"No, no, absolutely not." Cao Guangyuan learned his lesson and cared a lot about his adopted daughter. Even though the child had been returned to Yang Xiuyun, he and Ma Xiangqin adopted the child as their goddaughter, so she was still his daughter. He quickly took credit for it and recounted in detail how he helped take care of the child.
Yao Ruzhen listened without saying anything. It was ironic that for those people who must have a son, it was almost impossible to ask them to be nicer to their daughter. They would only be kind to their daughter when it would bring disaster to their son.
This is simply the biggest obstacle preventing the advancement of human civilization.
She had never thought that there was a kind of creature that, while longing for a certain sex to reproduce, would trample on and humiliate that sex without any bottom line. This kind of creature was simply the most outrageous and psychopathic race in the world, without a doubt.
It's a pity that she is just one person and can only do so much.
Fortunately, she still has her pen, and fortunately in this era there are media such as television, movies and radio. As long as she doesn't give up, she will always light the way for some people.
And she believed that she was not alone.
Because she firmly believes that where there is injustice, there will be noise.
Even if she dies one day, there will still be thousands and thousands of other people who will follow and light the way for more people.
If you don’t believe it, just look at Yang Xiuyun, how much she loves her daughter.
If there were more Yang Xiuyun and fewer Cao Guangyuan and Ma Xiangqin, the world would become a peaceful and prosperous place.
So at this moment, Yao Ruzhen didn't want to see Cao Guangyuan and his wife again. She turned around, unlocked the door, went in, and went to sleep.
Two days later, she brought Yao Yingying, Zhang Caini and the children to Hong Kong.
When skyscrapers stood before her eyes, Yao Yingying suddenly forgot the lyrics. It was not until the driver arranged by Yao Weihua helped her carry her luggage into the car that she reacted and said thank you.
Sure enough, the world outside is so big that you can’t imagine it unless you go out and see it.
Thank fate for giving her the opportunity to jump out of the well!
After dinner that night, she went to the guest room where Yao Taotao was staying and said firmly, "Tao'er, we have to stay here! We must stay here!"

The author has something to say: I got the year wrong in the last chapter. It is the summer of 1983, and the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed in 1984. The time span of the latest chapter is too long, so I miscalculated it. Sorry.
