Chapter 20 Movie
As a qualified boss, Zhang Feng only needs to tell his employees his ideas, and naturally someone will help him realize them. As for him, he can just eat well, drink well, sleep well, and then find women.
After explaining the tasks on the first day, Paulson went to work with one of his subordinates, while Zhang Feng drove around New York for an afternoon under the protection of bodyguards. He soon lost interest. Perhaps for people of this era, New York is very prosperous now, but for him, it cannot be compared with later generations.
Then I drove back to the hotel and happened to run into Lin Huiyin.
"How is it? Is New York fun?" Zhang Feng asked casually.
"Well, it's much more prosperous than Shanghai, but some places are as chaotic as Shanghai." Lin Huiyin talked about her impression of New York.
"Yes, it's quite dangerous for you as a girl. I'll accompany you tomorrow. I have bodyguards." Zhang Feng said, and then looked at the two guards behind him.
"Is it inconvenient? Have you finished your company's affairs?" Lin Huiyin's eyes lit up. She still wanted to go out and see more. In America now, New York is the most prosperous place and has the most skyscrapers.
In fact, she came to New York this time mainly for her studies. She will graduate and return to China after this semester. So she came to New York during this winter vacation to observe the skyscrapers here, hoping to accumulate more knowledge, verify the knowledge learned from textbooks with reality, and see the works of masters.
"It's convenient. I have already dealt with the company's affairs. The rest can be left to the employees. I am a boss after all, and it is impossible for me to do everything myself. Let's make it this way. I will wait for you in the lobby downstairs at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Zhang Feng made the decision for her directly.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lin Huiyin did not postpone it any longer.
The next day, the two went out and came to the busiest street in the city center to have breakfast. After getting off the car, Zhang Feng and Lin Huiyin walked forward side by side, talking and laughing. The two bodyguards followed behind them a few meters away to avoid disturbing their interest.
"There's a store in front, let's go try it." Lin Huiyin said, pointing to a store not far from the front door.
"Okay, let's go over there." Zhang Feng took a look and found that it was a shop selling hamburgers.
The two walked into the store and ordered a hamburger each. While waiting for the food, Zhang Feng deliberately said, "I have a company that also does this. I have also developed a new dish, fried chicken, which is very popular. Now there are more than 100 branches."
"Really? There are more than 100 stores. Is the food delicious? Then let's go to your store to eat." Lin Huiyin said curiously and doubtfully.
"It hasn't opened in New York yet. It's all in California and several nearby states. If you want to eat, wait until you have time to visit Los Angeles next time. I'll treat you to a good meal." Zhang Feng glanced at her and said.
"I will graduate in half a year and then go back to China, so I probably won't have the chance to eat it." Lin Huiyin said disappointedly.
"You are going to help me design the company's building. Don't you want this opportunity?" Zhang Feng immediately talked about the plan on the train.
"I haven't thought about it yet. My family won't agree." Lin Huiyin said with her head down. Her family was one thing, but on the other hand, she still had a good impression of the classmate who had been pursuing her.
"Okay, think about it again and communicate with your parents. After all, this kind of opportunity is rare. What you are learning now is of no use in China today. I hope you don't waste your talent." Zhang Feng continued to persuade.
Just at this time, the waiter brought the food, and the two did not continue this topic. They ate while chatting about other things, and soon their first dinner together ended.
In the next few days, Zhang Feng and Lin Huiyin visited the entire bustling downtown area of New York, just like the plot of a love movie in their previous life.
That day, the two of them came to Broadway to watch a musical. Walking on this street, Zhang Feng thought of the Times Square in the future, especially the huge advertising screen. He wondered if he could buy it in advance and let those big companies come to advertise here in the future.
In 1883, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York moved to the intersection of Broadway and 40th Street, which led to the vigorous development of theaters and restaurants. The rise of film art in 1920 brought a rainbow of glory to this place. Then, after the stock market collapsed in 1929, it fell into the abyss of depression. It was not until the 80s that Broadway gradually recovered its glory, and this triangular area has once again become the spotlight of New York's entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng felt that there was no need to be too anxious. There would be opportunities in the future. After making a fortune during the economic crisis, it should be easy to acquire the property here during the Great Depression.
Walking into the Broadway Opera House, the two took their seats. Lin Huiyin watched with great interest, but Zhang Feng had no interest at all. One was a talented girl, while the other relied on memories from his past life. In fact, they had no artistic talent at all and could not appreciate these things. It was true that wild boars could not eat fine bran, Zhang Feng said self-deprecatingly in his heart.
After watching an opera, the two were on their way back to the hotel.
"I have finished all the work in my company and will be going back the day after tomorrow. What about you? Do you want to stay here or go with me?" Zhang Feng suddenly said.
Things here were settled a few days ago, but in order to spend more time with Lin Huiyin, he stayed in New York for a few more days. However, Gertari Garbo will give birth soon, so he has to go back quickly. He still has a bottom line.
"Let's go together. Anyway, we have seen all the streets and alleys of New York in these few days. There is no point in continuing." Lin Huiyin said with a smile, but when she heard Zhang Feng said he wanted to go back, she was still reluctant to let him go. Zhang Feng was rich, handsome, and gentle. He was simply the dream lover of the girl, the prince charming. After spending some time together, no woman could resist him. Love grows over time, and this man has already deeply entered her heart.
She felt that this separation might be their last. In this era, they were separated by oceans, and even in the future, it would be difficult for them to meet again, so Lin Huiyin cherished the last time she spent with Zhang Feng.
The two did not speak again. After returning to the hotel, Lin Huiyin lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She thought about Zhang Feng's previous invitation and wondered whether she should accept it. It was not for anything else, but just for the sake of her beloved architectural design career. After returning to China, she would no longer be able to put what she had learned into practice.
On the third day, after they finished shopping, they walked to the door of a movie theater. Zhang Feng looked at the posters on the door, his eyes rolled, and he walked in with Lin Huiyin.
"Let's go see a movie. It's a pretty good movie." Zhang Feng said to Lin Huiyin, and she naturally wouldn't object.
After buying two movie tickets for adjacent seats, they walked into the movie hall, found their seats and sat down.
“Ghost, is it a horror movie?” Lin Huiyin asked in a low voice, looking at the movie ticket in her hand.
"No, it's a romance movie." Zhang Feng turned his head and whispered in her ear.
After a while, the lights went out, and the screen lit up and started playing the main film.
"This actor looks like you." A few dozen minutes into the movie, Lin Huiyin noticed an actor who looked similar to Zhang Feng, and said with a smile.
"Haha, that's me." Zhang Feng admitted, but he didn't explain much.
Although Lin Huiyin didn't quite believe it, she didn't continue asking. After all, they were watching a movie and it was embarrassing to talk too much so as not to disturb others.
As she watched, Lin Huiyin's eyes turned red and she began to sob softly, apparently she was deeply moved. Zhang Feng handed her a piece of paper, and when he wiped her tears, he took the opportunity to grab her little hand that was on the chair, but she immediately pulled it back.
After a while, the movie finally ended. After leaving the cinema, Zhang Feng saw that she was silent, so he brought up the previous topic and said, "I wrote the script of this movie, and I am also the actor. My English name is Monkey. I also starred in a movie called Special Forces some time ago. I was also the director. You probably haven't seen it."
"You can also write movie scripts and direct movies. You're amazing. Have you opened a film company?" Lin Huiyin's attention was diverted. When she heard that Zhang Feng was both an actor and a director, she unconsciously became happy.
"Haha, I haven't opened a film company yet, but I will in the future. I really like making movies and being an actor. These two movies were co-produced with other people. I was a poor boy then, and I made money from these two movies. Then I started my current career. But I still like film art. This is my dream." Zhang Feng said confidently, and did not forget to instill in her the chicken soup of life to realize her dreams and the value of life, hoping that she could drink it and stay to become a great architectural designer.
Although Lin Huiyin had heard Zhang Feng tell his story before, she had never listened to it in such detail this time. She couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought about how Zhang Feng, an orphan, had worked hard alone to build his own business and must have suffered a lot during this period. When she heard Zhang Feng talk about his dreams and art, she felt that he was the same kind of person as herself.
Lin Huiyin's psychological activities at this time were extremely rich.
"By the way, aren't you going to study at the Yale School of Drama soon? When I open a film company in the future, you can come and help me. Then, we can join forces and succeed." Zhang Feng threw another bait.
The two then discussed movies and architecture. Zhang Feng racked his brains, using what he had seen on the Internet in his previous life and his own decades of daily experience to deal with it, and unknowingly gained another wave of goodwill.
The next day, after packing up, Zhang Feng and his group left New York and took a train to New Haven, Connecticut, the city where Yale University is located.
At the train station, Zhang Feng carried Lin Huiyin's luggage and saw her off the train.
The two looked at each other, Zhang Feng handed him the luggage in his hand, and then handed him a piece of paper, saying: "This is
This is my company's phone number and address. If you have made up your mind, you can come here."
They were about to part, Zhang Feng was a little unwilling, he stretched out his hands and hugged her, Lin Huiyin paused, then reacted
She came over and wanted to push him away. After all, she was not ready yet. But at this moment, she was holding the luggage in her left hand and the note in her right hand, so she had no hand to push him away.
Seeing that she did not resist, Zhang Feng kissed her lips directly. A minute later, he let go of Lin Huiyin as she struggled, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, you must come to see me."
In fact, Zhang Feng had already made up his mind that if Lin Huiyin didn't come to find him in half a year, he would go to China to grab the bride and start another important plan at the same time.
Zhang Feng looked at Lin Huiyin's embarrassed and angry expression, no longer caring about her mood at the moment, and boarded the train home.
