Chapter 255 Watching a Movie



Chen Yuanwu left the house easily without any excuse.

Gao Shengmei said proudly, "I tricked Auntie into bringing you out. How are you going to thank me?"

Chen Yuanwu smiled and said, "Given our relationship, if you want to ask for anything, as long as I can do it, just ask!"

Gao Shengmei smiled slyly and said, "You definitely didn't come out with me to meet that actress. Just take me to see the person you want to meet!"

Chen Yuanwu asked back, "If I take you to see him, what if you say something nonsense? How will that benefit me?"

Gao Shengmei pointed at Chen Yuanwu and said, "You're wrong. I won't interfere with the person my buddy likes no matter what you say! Come on, you have to take me to meet her. Otherwise, I can also meet her when you get married. There are really many actresses there!"

Chen Yuanwu shook his head gently. "What's there to be afraid of an actress? I'm not afraid even if a female star comes! Do you have any imported domestic films recently? If there are any war films, I'd consider taking you to see them."

The studio's archives often contain some excellent imported films, which are used as reference materials for these artists.

Gao Shengmei thought for a moment and said, "There are two newest ones, both about war, one in black and white, the other in color. But they haven't been translated yet, and the subtitles haven't been added yet. I can't understand them at all, so it's useless to watch them."

Chen Yuanwu became interested. Maybe this was what Xiaojun would like to see. "Just because you don't understand doesn't mean others don't understand. Just tell me what it's called."

Gao Shengmei rolled her eyes and said, "If I knew what the name was, our factory would have sent me to be a translator a long time ago."

Chen Yuanwu encouraged Gao Shengmei: "If you can get it, I will bring an interpreter with me!"

Ever since he read the military materials translated by Jiang Yun at the military academy, Chen Yuanwu intuitively felt that Jiang Yun's foreign language level had reached the level of a traveling translator.

Gao Shengmei squinted at Chen Yuanwu and said, "That's impressive! You can even use an interpreter! Then wait for my message. We have a car going back to the factory tonight, and I'll have someone get them out. You just find a place first!"

After separating from Gao Shengmei, Chen Yuanwu excitedly went to find Jiang Jun: "I'm taking you to see a movie tomorrow. It's a newly imported film. It doesn't even have subtitles. It's brand new!"

Jiang Jun was a little confused: "Aren't you very busy? How come you are free every day now?"

Chen Yuanwu scratched the tip of Jiang Yun's nose: "Isn't it just to see you more?"

Jiang Jun shrugged, crossed his arms, and said in a cheesy tone, "Can I get enough just by looking at it?"

It is said that love is enough to satisfy one’s hunger, but Jiang Jun never believed it. In her original time and space, when couples went on dates or met friends, the thing they posted the most was food!

Chen Yuanwu stretched out his arms to embrace Jiang Yun and kissed her again and again: "One bite will make you full."

He didn't know what was going on, but after seeing Jiang Jun, he felt particularly relaxed and cheerful. All those frivolous and teasing words that he had never said before came out one after another.

The waiter knocked on the door, and Jiang Jun quickly broke free, pointing to the sofa for Chen Yuanwu to sit down while he went to open the door. The waiter brought in two thermoses, smiled at Jiang Jun, and turned to leave.

Jiang Jun raised her hand to stop Chen Yuanwu from getting any closer, saying with a hint of anger, "Waiters don't usually come to bring hot water at this time!"

Chen Yuanwu laughed out loud: "Come on, I'll take you for a walk. There's a performance tonight, so there won't be many people in the courtyard."

Jiang Jun shook her head. She had lived in the guesthouse for so long that she was already too famous. If she continued to stroll around the compound with Chen Yuanwu, everyone would know about it.

Chen Yuanwu persuaded her, "Don't worry. I'll take you to the military office to check out the venue for tomorrow's film screening. By the way, are you okay with interpreting?"

"Oral translation? I need to watch it first to know." Jiang Jun likes to concentrate on watching movies without being disturbed. Now she has to translate while watching, and she doesn't know if she can adapt to it.

Chen Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you can understand it, it's fine. After you finish reading it, tell me what it is about."

I can't understand foreign languages ​​and there are no subtitles. It's like watching a pantomime, with actions and plot, and I can guess the meaning. But if it's a long conversation or speech between two people, it's really frustrating.

Chen Zhong's bodyguard Xiao Dai brought them to a small meeting room inside the military headquarters. The sound insulation was good, and with the thick curtains drawn, even movies played during the day would not be affected by light. It was equivalent to a luxury cinema private room.

Jiang Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was a proper place to watch a movie!

The next day, Gao Shengmei brought two large boxes of film. "I'll just be the projectionist temporarily. Don't worry if I get too busy."

Jiang Jun picked up a scroll at random, his hands stained with black. "Put one of them on me first."

Gao Shengmei glared at Chen Yuanwu: "Is this the translator you brought? How old is she? Has she graduated from high school? Did you trick her into coming to see a movie? Tell her not to touch these films, don't mess them up, or I'll be beheaded when I get back!"

Chen Zhenbao stood nearby, chuckling. He had already learned from Chen Yuanwu that Jiang Jun's pretense of pregnancy and following him in his car to the grassland was a lie: "Don't worry about her age. She's braver than you and knows more!"

Also coming to watch the internal movie were several of Chen Yuanwu's close comrades. Chen Zhenbao and Zhang Mingtao rushed over as soon as they received the call.

Chen Yuanwu tried to smooth things over: "Just play a segment first. If I tricked her into coming here, I'll take her out. Okay?"

Chen Zhenbao added: "We still don't know who is deceiving whom!"

Gao Shengmei snorted, turned off the lights and started the projector.

What suddenly appeared on the screen was a scene from "The Sky of Blood and Stain"!

This is a film about the Allied landing on the Normandy beaches in France during World War II. The battle was fierce and both the Allied and German forces suffered heavy casualties.

When Jiang Jun saw this film in Jiang Heng's crew, she was more interested in the several god-like characters that appeared in the film. She paid special attention to studying their words and deeds.

Especially Field Marshal Rommel, the favorite general of the warmongerer, is, in Jiang Yun's opinion, the biggest highlight of the entire film and the one who has the most victorious marshal temperament among all the actors.

Therefore, when the camera in the film zoomed in on Field Marshal Rommel's face, his unquestionable firmness and confidence in his grasp of the battle situation were all expressed through Jiang Yun's vivid imitation of the lines, making the people present feel as if they were there, and the small meeting room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Jiang Yun's instant translation was slightly delayed compared to the dialogue in the film, but for Chen Yuanwu and the others, it was already perfect.

After one roll of film was finished, everyone was nervously waiting for Gao Shengmei to play the second roll, and they couldn't wait to know what kind of spectacular scene the next landing would be.
