Chapter 185 Inner strength depends entirely on everyone's self-discipline.
In the film script "Blue Sea and Silver Shuttle", Chen Wen will play Zhao Haihua, a model female textile worker.
In China, Chen Wen is currently a well-known "celebrity". Last year, she starred in a movie called "Black Soil Youth", which reflects the lives of educated youth sent to the Great Northern Wilderness. She played a female tractor driver in the movie. Because of her clear and bright eyes, her performance was outstanding and she received widespread praise from the public.
Chen Wen wore a simple plain shirt with a sweater, black pants and black cloth shoes, the most traditional attire for women of this era. Her skin was not fair, but her eyes were bright and expressive. She had a pleasing round face, and when she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, and her pupils were like black grapes.
The model worker she was to portray, Zhao Haihua, was a clever and skillful textile worker with a gentle and charming appearance but a strong inner self, much like the factory director Qin in front of her.
"When I first took on this role, I couldn't even imagine what Zhao Haihua would look like. Director Qin, the moment I met you, I understood!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "?" What do you know?
Chen Wen's eyes lit up as she looked at Qin Xiangxiang in front of her.
The factory director Qin before us is a perfect example of someone who is "gentle and charming on the outside, but strong on the inside."
In fact, the factory director in front of her was even more beautiful and charming than she had imagined. According to the director and production manager, this factory director was a textile worker who had kept a low profile. She had been a high-achieving front-line spinning workshop worker at the Shanghai 316 Textile Factory.
Furthermore, they possess sewing skills that should not be underestimated—something witnessed firsthand by the director and production manager!
Chen Wen: "Director Qin, I feel both honored and pressured to play a model worker. I'm afraid people will say that my acting is fake and that I only know how to shout slogans. I'm also afraid that my performance will be laughed at as 'formulaic' and 'fake'. So I hope to portray a real and three-dimensional model worker of the new era."
“You are a living role model standing in front of me.”
Qin Xiangxiang changed the subject: "There are many people in our factory who can be model workers. You can learn from many people."
"You are the perfect person to learn from."
Chen Wen: "This Zhao Haihua is very similar to you, Director Qin. If I hadn't seen you in person, I would have thought that this story was tailor-made for you. The only difference is that you are from Shanghai, while Zhao Haihua is a native island girl."
"She also married a military officer. I actually want to learn about the real relationship between military couples through you."
Qin Xiangxiang: "Huh?!"
"One is a model worker in a textile factory, and the other is the captain of a frigate. They are both on duty at sea to protect the country. However, they also have grievances and misunderstandings about each other in their family life, and they also feel guilty towards each other... I really want to understand this complicated psychology."
Qin Xiangxiang shook her head: "There really isn't one."
There are no model workers, no complicated psychology, only a lazy bum and a fat-loss guy's big dick.
Chen Wen smiled slightly: "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. I hope you can agree to let me observe from the sidelines."
"Alright, you can observe as you please."
If we can find out she's a lazy bum, we can just announce it to the world.
Qin Xiangxiang took Chen Wen to meet the factory workers and introduced her to the skilled workers, especially the model workers she admired, such as Rong, the quality inspector known as "Grandma Rong," and Master Liao Yumei, who was just like her mother, Zhou Aodong. This girl was the real model worker who stopped the machine.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "This Liao Yumei, when she was young, was a front-line female machine operator in the workshop. She was fast, ruthless, and accurate in her operations, and her speed was two or three times faster than that of ordinary female workers."
"If you want to know what a real model worker is, just let Master Liao demonstrate it to you."
Chen Wen nodded.
Liao Yumei said modestly, "Don't listen to what Director Qin said. Director Qin's mother was just like him when she was young. She was just as beautiful and generous, and she was incredibly fierce when she worked."
"Zhou Aodong has a successor, with such a daughter."
Qin Xiangxiang: "?!" Don't lump me together with my mom; they're completely different.
Chen Wen was extremely shocked. She nodded repeatedly: "I can imagine that Director Qin is truly a model worker and an example for me to observe and learn from."
"I'm going to get a drink of water."
Qin Xiangxiang went to get a drink of water, leaning on her crutches. She observed and learned from a salted fish, thinking that the movie was finally over and she was very pessimistic about its future.
It's probably going to be a terrible movie.
Drink some water to calm your nerves.
"Chen Wen came to our textile factory? She's the one who acted in 'The Great Northern Wilderness'?"
"Female tractor driver!"
"She's going to film a movie in our factory! Our factory is really something now!"
"We'll get to see Chen Wen? The one from the movie?"
...
Chen Wen's arrival was like a drop of water poured into boiling oil, immediately causing it to splash and explode. Many workers didn't really realize that a movie was going to be made until the actors they had seen in movies actually appeared in front of them, and then they belatedly realized that they were really going to make a movie!
Chen Wen is also a rising female star of this era.
"In order to better interpret the character, Chen Wen will first go to our Feiyan Textile Factory to experience life before filming, eat and live with the female workers, and personally experience the life of female textile workers."
"Wow!"
Now everyone is even more motivated to work, producing goods and services in front of movie stars.
Qin Xiangxiang instructed Chen Wen, "We have many military officers' families in our Feiyan Textile Factory. I suggest you talk to them more, and you will naturally understand the complex relationships within military families."
Chen Wen nodded
"Director Qin! Little Qin! We've marked out the location to build the pigsty!" Zhuang Xiaoman excitedly found Qin Xiangxiang. Actually, she wasn't a fan of movie actresses like Chen Wen; she preferred pigs.
Even the most famous actors and actresses are not as tempting as a big, fat pig in her eyes.
You can only look at celebrities and actors, but pigs—they can really eat them!
Qin Xiangxiang immediately grabbed Zhuang Xiaoman, thinking that this was the "ideal role model" that Chen Wen should learn from. She quickly introduced her to Chen Wen, "This is Zhuang Xiaoman from our Navy Family Compound. She is also a military officer's wife, and her husband is in the submarine force."
"Zhuang Xiaoman is a good homemaker and a good military family member."
"Oh—" Chen Wen quickly opened her mouth: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Zhuang Xiaoman blushed deeply at Qin Xiangxiang's teasing. "What do you mean by being good at managing a household? Don't flatter me, Xiao Qin. Is lending someone five hundred yuan good at managing a household? Is buying a five or six hundred yuan camera good at managing a household?"
Zhuang Xiaoman modestly said, "My specialty is—'having a knack for handling pigs'!"
"When we slaughter pigs at the end of the year, I'll show you what it means to take down a fat pig on the spot!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
—Our family compound is full of awful people.
"This Zhuang Xiaoman is currently the temporary farm director of the May 7th Farm affiliated to our Feiyan Textile Factory. Our textile factory was established two years ago, and this year we will also establish the May 7th Farm."
Chen Wen: "May 7th Farm? I'm familiar with that. Last year when I was filming a movie, I even went to the Great Northern Wilderness to reclaim wasteland by hand, and I also learned how to raise pigs!"
Zhuang Xiaoman: "Raising pigs in the Great Northern Wilderness is different from raising pigs on our island. Here we have dried fish and shrimp, which can be ground into powder to feed the pigs. We also have the by-products from seaweed and kelp factories, which should be similar to pig feed, haha. Pigs eat everything."
"This year, we'll raise two hundred pigs!"
Chen Wen: "Director Qin, our Feiyan Textile Factory is truly thriving!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "That's true... they're all like they've been injected with chicken blood."
Except for her, the lazy factory manager.
Chen Wen nodded: "But Director Qin, you acted in a calm and unhurried manner, which is a sign of inner strength."
Qin Xiangxiang: "?"
"Director Qin, you come to the factory every day on crutches, but I have never seen any anxiety or distress on your face. You have an optimism that inspires me!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "..." Actually, she didn't even need a cane.
"Speaking of which, in my memory, our factory director has never had a worry." Assistant He, who was passing by, couldn't help but chime in after overhearing the conversation. He was very qualified to speak on this matter.
"When the cotton quota was in trouble before, everyone was anxious, but our factory director calmly thought of a solution and led everyone to produce poplin and wavy yarn. He even signed a high-priced foreign exchange order at the Canton Fair. When the dye was in trouble, our factory director was also calm and composed..." Assistant He told Chen Wen about a lot of past events.
Chen Wen nodded, her mind flashing with inspiration. "I understand now. I finally understand what it means to have inner strength. This is true inner strength, along with a passionate and optimistic spirit."
Qin Xiangxiang couldn't listen anymore: "You guys talk, I'm going to sit in my office."
"Director Qin, I would actually like to ask you for some specific management experience, some advanced management experience that is in line with the characteristics of this era."
Qin Xiangxiang sighed: "We don't have much management experience, we rely entirely on everyone's self-discipline."
"I understand, Director Qin, you're saying we should trust the masses and inspire their initiative!" Chen Wen quickly wrote down her performance notes.
Qin Xiangxiang was stunned: "?!"
Is Chen Wen's comprehension level even that of an actress? Can she even be an actress? She's even more like Assistant He than Assistant He.
"Director Qin, when are you free? I would like to visit the Navy Family Compound to see for myself and learn about the daily lives of military families and their married life, such as the difficulties of long-distance marriages."
"If I have the chance, I'd also like to meet your husband in person and learn about the way the textile model worker and her husband get along... Of course, if there are any problems, I, well..."
Qin Xiangxiang agreed: "Okay, but my husband is probably not what you imagine."
