The 71st day of being eavesdropped
After Shanhu returned to the guesthouse, he said to Gu Jinshui: "Brother, Liang Renyi is a weird guy. Why do they want to live in that old house?"
Gu Jinshui leaned back in his chair, opened his backpack, and checked the coins he had bought before. There were still many Kaiyuan Tongbao coins among these coins, which were probably collected from the village. He planned to pick out the good ones and sell them to make some money.
"How should I know? They are crazy. If you understand what they are thinking, you will be as stupid as them sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Shanhu smiled and said: "Brother, let's call home tomorrow to see how they are doing." It would have been better
if he didn't mention it. Once he mentioned it, Gu Jinshui really missed his family.
He had called back before, but either He Chunlian had gone to the countryside, or the girl and Lan Lin were out playing, so it was not easy to talk to them.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinshui hurriedly went down with Shanhu to the intersection and called the auntie who was in charge of answering the phone at the alley, asking her to tell her family to call at noon tomorrow.
The auntie agreed, and as soon as she hung up the phone, He Chunlian walked past with her granddaughter.
The old lady quickly called He Chunlian, "Chunlian, your Jinshui called."
"There's a call, where is it?" He Chunlian was very happy and rushed to the telephone booth. Seeing that the receiver was hung up, she said, "Didn't it hang up?"
"Yes, I just hung up. Don't worry, your Jinshui said that he would ask you to come to answer the phone at 12 o'clock tomorrow. You must bring your granddaughter with you."
The old lady teased Gu Yousi with a smile and stuffed a few peanuts into Gu Yousi's hands.
Gu Yousi's little hands couldn't hold it, so he wrapped them with a bib and thanked her in a baby voice.
The old lady was very happy and said with a smile: "From the sound of your son's voice, he must be missing his daughter."
He Chunlian said: "How can he not miss her? He has been gone for so long. This son is really like a dog. He never gave up. How long has he been gone? A month, right?"
He Chunlian chatted with the old lady casually and bought half a pound of oranges.
The old lady was running a small business while watching the telephone booth here. She was just selling some fruits to make a living.
The Gu family often had to call, especially He Chunlian. Recently, her activities in the countryside were so popular that people often called her, so she had to ask people to leave their phone numbers.
He Chunlian would take care of their business from time to time, so that they could pay more attention to her.
He Chunlian took her granddaughter and carried oranges into the backyard.
Before she mentioned Gu Jinshui, she saw someone coming to her house, and it was an acquaintance. "Hey, Mr. Lan, what brings you here today? Aren't you busy?"
Lan Yeping smiled and leaned on his cane: "I'm not busy anymore. I was very busy recently. I'm finally free these days and can spend time with the children. I heard that you are also busy recently."
Speaking of this, He Chunlian was so happy that she was in high spirits.
Yes, no one thought that going to the countryside to sing opera would be so popular, and no one thought it would make so much money.
They didn't make much money in Hejia Village at the beginning, only about ten yuan per person on average. For the old men and women who had no work and were waiting to retire, this was not a small amount of money.
With this money, I could buy some food for my family, buy clothes for my grandchildren, and buy some candy and snacks.
After that, other villages gave me even more money, an average of more than 20 yuan per person. Although sometimes I had to sing for three days, the money was still high.
After a month of hard work, I could actually earn 100 or 200 yuan.
This was much more than everyone's monthly salary.
He Chunlian certainly had money, but it was a different feeling to be given money by others and to earn it by myself.
She smiled and waved her hands: "It's just busy work, it's just the fans who are here to support us. They are willing to listen to us old folks sing opera. Don't tell me, after we got busy, they learned a lot from us. Now it's not easy to do this side job."
Lan Yeping smiled and said, "No matter how good they are, can they be better than you? Let me say, you are really talented, if you go abroad, you will definitely make a lot."
"Hey, I'm going abroad at this age." He Chunlian was flattered by Lan Yeping and didn't know what to do. Gu Yinxing couldn't bear to watch.
If this wasn't her own mother, she would have wanted to leave.
Gu Yinxing also admired Lan Yeping. This old man was really good at talking. No wonder he was so rich.
"Juzi..."
Gu Yousi looked at Juzi for a long time, and finally couldn't help but urge him.
He Chunlian came to her senses then and slapped her head and said, "Look at me, I forgot that I bought oranges. You guys try some too."
She took an orange and gave it to the two children, then to Lan Yeping. When she was about to give one to Gu Yinxing, He Chunlian discovered that there was a skinny and somewhat shy man wearing glasses sitting next to Lan Yeping.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, this is Xiao Zhang, he is a director, specializing in filming."
Lan Yeping introduced: "Xiao Zhang recently asked me to invest in filming. Xiao Zhang filmed a movie called "Siheyuan" last year. Have you seen it?"
"Siheyuan?" He Chunlian immediately clapped her hands and said, "So it was filmed by Xiao Zhang. This movie is good. I have watched it three times."
Zhang Mouyuan was a little shy and touched his nose. "You can't say that I filmed it. My master guided me to film it."
"That's even better. A good teacher produces good students."
Just now He Chunlian was only talking and didn't notice Zhang Mouyuan. When she heard that Zhang Mouyuan was a movie director, and it was the movie "Siheyuan" that she liked to watch, she immediately asked enthusiastically: "So what movie are you going to shoot now?"
"Let's make a film for the common people." Zhang Mouyuan said, "It's about a man and a woman with conflicts in their families who break through the shackles of their families and become husband and wife."
"Good, good, you are indeed a director who thinks of good stories."
He Chunlian praised him casually.
Lan Yeping smiled and said, "Big sister, we came here this time to invite you to make a movie."
"Me?" He Chunlian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't refuse, but asked, "What kind of role is this? I have never made a movie before, so can I do it?"
"Okay, you must be suitable for this role."
Before coming here today, Zhang Mouyuan was a little unhappy. After all, this movie was his first time to shoot a movie by himself, and Lan Yeping also invested 5,000 yuan, which was not a small amount of money. He had to give an explanation to him, otherwise he would not only be laughed at by his colleagues at the film studio, but also be sorry for their investment. But
when he saw He Chunlian, who was full of wit and words, coming in, Zhang Mouyuan's eyes lit up, "Auntie He, this role is also a Peking Opera singer, an old woman, with a more spicy and crisp personality. You can definitely play it well."
He Chunlian and Yinxing were silent.
The young man really knows how to talk. He
said she was spicy as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Xiao Zhang is so confused. I've read the script. This character is outspoken and straightforward. He loves and hates directly. Others are not suitable. You are the most suitable."
Lan Yeping coughed and quickly smoothed things over.
He Chunlian smiled and said, "I have tried this before, but I don't know if it is suitable. By the way, what is the name of this play?"
"It's called Flowers and Leaves, a Wedding." Zhang Mouyuan said embarrassedly, "This script is really good. I spent three years to polish it."
Flowers and Leaves, a Wedding?
Gu Yousi was eating oranges and was stunned when he heard about this movie.
This movie is so famous. It is so famous that the protagonists in this movie later became well-known actors, especially the leading actors. Needless to say, they became international movie stars.
Gu Yousi didn't look at Zhang Mouyuan at first. She lowered her head and ate the orange very seriously. She had a problem with eating oranges. She didn't like to eat the white threads. She had to clean them one by one before she was willing to eat them.
So when she ate oranges, she didn't look at anyone.
But she heard about "Flower and Leaf Wedding". This movie was so famous that she was interested.
Actor?
Great director?
He Chunlian was already interested, and she became more excited when she heard her granddaughter's voice.
Zhang Mouyuan showed her the script. He Chunlian read it and thought it was a good script. Although He Chunlian was old, she grew up in a theater troupe and had read at least 80 scripts. Moreover, she loved watching theater. Whenever a new movie was released, He Chunlian was the first one to go to see it.
Whether from a professional perspective or from an audience perspective, this script was very good.
He Chunlian said, "I'm willing to give it a try. Do you want to try the play?"
"This..." Zhang Mouyuan wanted to nod, but seeing that the investor was right next to him, he hesitated.
Lan Yeping smiled and said, "I won't interfere with this matter. If it's suitable
, let the elder sister take the role." "Then let's have an audition. Don't waste such a good script."
He Chunlian didn't make it difficult for Zhang Mouyuan.
She was also sure that she would get
the role. Zhang Mouyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Okay, I'll leave you an address. Please come tomorrow afternoon. To be honest, if you can get the role, we can start shooting the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow, aren't you still short of the role of the heroine's mother?"
Lan Yeping asked. He looked at his grandson who was taking care of someone else's granddaughter eating oranges, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Zhang Mouyuan smiled and said, "What a coincidence. A lady went for an interview this morning. She was also a novice. She got the job after just one interview with the assistant director."
After he finished speaking, he heard someone calling out "director.
" Zhang Mouyuan turned his head and saw Huang Xirong walking in with a lunch box packed from the hotel. "Isn't this the director? Why are you here?"
"Auntie Huang, are you from this hospital too?"
Zhang Mouyuan was a little surprised.
Huang Xirong smiled and said, "Of course, you are..."
She looked at the script in He Chunlian's hand with a vigilant look in her eyes.
"I'm here to invite this lady to an interview tomorrow."
Zhang Mouyuan said quickly, "You two probably know each other. If you can both meet, you'll have company in future filmings."
"Companion, haha." He Chunlian smiled and closed the notebook, "Xiao Zhang, let's see you tomorrow afternoon."
