Chapter 194 Big Mouth Jiang Wen

The temperature in my hometown is still a bit cold.

But Chen An felt much better, at least the air was not so dry.

Sometimes it would drizzle, making the roads in the village muddy.

Chen An had long thought about building a cement road in the village, but in the end it was nothing.

My mother was very happy that she could finally celebrate the New Year in her hometown, and she bought a lot of vegetables.

I had ordered freshly slaughtered pork from the pork seller in the village a few days in advance.

There are many camphor trees and elm trees in my hometown. Although it is winter, the trees are still full of green leaves, but they are not as green as in early spring.

However, the weeds by the river had already withered and were cut by the villagers in advance, making them very useful for starting fires.

I have been away from home for six years and have rarely been back. Most of the village has not changed, but the faces of some children have become quite unfamiliar.

Everyone looked at Chen An, a man they had never seen before, with curiosity.

Chen An greeted them with a smile, but they all dispersed in response.

After Chen An took a walk and greeted the elderly people in the village whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he returned home.

"You're back. The village hasn't changed, right? It's unlike the capital city, which looks different every time I go there." Seeing Chen An coming back from a walk, his mother said happily.

Chen An nodded, "Yes, it's still the same."

But I seemed to have become a stranger in the village.

There was already a table full of dishes, which were extremely sumptuous and looked delicious.

Everything has been done, and Chen An just happened to come back.

Mom took the kettle, poured some hot water and mixed it with some cold water, washed her hands, and took off her sleeves and apron. "Go call your dad. He's still watching TV. He hasn't moved all day."

"okay."

A few days later, on New Year’s Eve, the family of three gathered together and had their first New Year’s Eve dinner in their newly built home.

My dad got another dog, it was all black, but its legs were a bit short. Surprisingly, it didn’t bark when it first saw Chen An.

It squatted beside the dining table and stared at Chen An. Chen An knew what he meant and threw a few pieces of meat to it, and it immediately wagged its tail happily.

The next morning, New Year's Day, Chen An got up early.

I put on waders and put my feet and pants into them. When I went downstairs, my dad was already waiting downstairs.

"Let's go, let's hurry up, your mother is already making breakfast, so the earlier we go, the earlier we can come back." Dad said with a smile when he saw Chen An coming downstairs.

"it is good."

The father and son went out together.

There was a hazy drizzle in the sky, making the road very muddy. The leaves on the side of the road were constantly hit by the rain, and the air was filled with a fresh smell.

It is common for it to rain on the first day of the Lunar New Year in my hometown, and it is very common in Chen An's memory.

After walking for a while, the father and son turned off the main road, took a small path that was only wide for two people, and slowly walked up the mountain.

This is to pay homage to Chen An's grandparents. They haven't been here for a long time since Chen An went to the capital.

Every time, Dad would cut a path through the grown trees a few days in advance.

It took the father and son about ten minutes to walk in the drizzle and finally reach the destination.

We walked through the path cut with a hatchet and arrived at the grave.

The two small earthen slopes were the purpose of Chen An’s visit.

It's been a long time since I've been here.

When I was a kid, the small mound seemed quite high.

When he was a child, he accepted the red envelopes handed to him by his elders, and now it is Chen An's turn to stuff them back one by one.

Visiting relatives became Chen An’s next main task.

I also have to accept the warm greetings from relatives: Have you found a girlfriend? When are you getting married? I think the girl from XX family is pretty good, why don’t you go and take a look?
Time passed quietly, and after the age of fifteen, Chen An left his hometown.

This time, I also brought a lot of sweet potato peels for Han Jianu. She has been eating them for several years but she never gets tired of them. She always asks for them every year. "Brother An, Happy New Year! Give me the red envelope for your prosperity!" The first thing the little girl said when she saw Chen An was to ask for a red envelope.

Chen An took out the sweet potato peels and said with a smile, "Give me a red envelope." He stuffed the bag into her hands.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Although the little girl said this, her hands were holding the bag obediently.

"This is your red envelope. Your mother will take the money even if you give it to me. This is more practical."

"No, my mom told me that I can keep my New Year's money by myself. I'm almost sixteen!"

"Here, here." Chen An took out the red envelope he had prepared long ago from his arms.

Han Sanping also specifically talked to Chen An about this matter. His wife asked his daughter to keep the New Year's money, but it was not easy for him as a father to give it to her. He had to take care of both ends, so he secretly looked for Chen An.

Damn daughter slave!

Han Jianu screamed with joy when she saw it. She didn't even use her hands. She just bit the red envelope and ran to her room in the bag of sweet potato peels.

Han Sanping was also smiling as he stood behind, and his domineering face actually showed kindness at this moment.

"Are you going to Hollywood again?" Han Sanping, who had received the news from somewhere, asked while sitting on the sofa.

Chen An nodded, "Where did you get the news?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Is it Jiang Wen?"

"I didn't say that."

Looking at the other person's expression, Chen An knew it was Jiang Wen. Only a few people knew about this matter, and Jiang Wen happened to be among them.

Han Sanping sighed, "I know Hollywood is good, but you just made a successful movie that broke the box office record. You must have made as much money as Hollywood. Why don't you hurry up and make another one?"

"I just went there to make some extra money. Besides, since they've already won the Best Picture award, I have to win this one, too. And my senior brother's movie isn't bad either. It's just as good as his."

Others may not know, but I know the strength of "Hero". Even if it may be affected by my appearance, it will definitely not be that bad.

As for Zhang Weiping's publicity and marketing methods, I have only used half of them.

In this regard, Zhang Weiping is indeed gifted and speaks well, but he is a bit sloppy when it comes to dividing the money.

"He's no worse than you in terms of awards, but you still have to come up with the box office."

Chen An was actually quite helpless listening to Han Sanping's words. The success in recent years had made Han Sanping's confidence in himself reach an unprecedented level.

More confident than Chen An himself.

"Don't believe it again? You'll just have to wait and see. It's best to avoid scheduling China Film-related movies with him. If you get hurt by mistake, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"What do you mean?"

"It wasn't like that last time with Titanic. Luckily we staggered. If we really had to fight head-on, we would have lost a lot."

"You don't have to tell me, the investment of 30 million US dollars is more than that of "Time and Space Clues"."

Han Sanping had made preparations long ago.

In this life, because of the existence of Chen An, "Hero" was not protected like in the previous life. China Film, which had no share in the film, helped in various ways so that he could successfully open up the precedent of blockbuster production.

Of course, although this life is not as enthusiastic as the previous life, China Film will still provide help.

The success of "Time and Space Clues" is important and groundbreaking.

"Hero" will be the foundation of the blockbuster era. If both films become huge successes one after another, capital will basically come uninvited.

Rushing to get in.

The situation will be much better than in the previous life.

And this is what Han Sanping wants to see, or what China Film wants to see.

Of course, coal bosses are also an indispensable part of this.

Coal bosses who have a lot of money but nowhere to spend it have flocked into the entertainment industry just for the beautiful female stars.

It was also during this period that they helped the film market successfully pass through its growth stage.
