Chapter 204 Your movie is released!
"Old Yang, I'm going to tell you straight."

"I want you to help me get a train ticket to the Magic City. Money is not a problem."

Li Changhe said to Yang Yuanchao seriously.

Yang Yuanchao nodded thoughtfully: "Do you want a good seat? A soft sleeper?"

"It's not just a matter of berths. This is my wife's sister, who is in the military art troupe. Due to special circumstances, she returned to Beijing but did not go back to the art troupe to cancel her leave. Now she has to rush back to the Magic City."

"In her situation, she can't go to the art troupe to cancel her leave and get a letter of introduction."

"That's why I came to you. See if you can help her get a ticket back to the Magic City!"

Li Changhe said seriously.

Yang Yuanchao nodded thoughtfully: "So, it's a girl? Going back to the Magic City alone?"

"Correct!"

"Are you in a hurry?"

Li Changhe shook his head: "It's not urgent, but it can't be delayed too long. It's best to get it done within this week."

"Is that so? Let me show you the train schedule. It would be best if she could find a train with no soft sleeper cars for sale. That way, she can ask the conductor to arrange for her to stay in a soft sleeper car in the name of a family member."

"If all the soft sleeper cars are booked, then there's nothing I can do. I can only help her get a hard sleeper car."

"But anyway, I will definitely prepare the ticket for you within this week."

"I'll send the ticket to your home then?"

Yang Yuanchao said confidently to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, but I have changed my address now. Please send it to Room 2, Building 403, Overseas Chinese Apartment. I live there now."

"You live in the Overseas Chinese Apartment now? The one in Garden Village?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanchao asked Li Changhe in surprise.

"Correct!"

"Then do you have any overseas Chinese connections, Changhe? Can you help me get some foreign exchange certificates?"

Yang Yuanchao said excitedly to Li Changhe at this time.

Li Changhe looked at him with a smile: "What do you want the foreign exchange certificates for?"

"Hey, I want to buy something imported, but that guy only wants foreign exchange coupons."

"That thing is only available to foreigners or overseas Chinese. Foreigners are strictly checked for contact with it. Look at the international students in our school. They are interrogated for a long time before they say anything."

"I don't know many overseas Chinese families here, and I was just thinking about how to get foreign exchange coupons, and I didn't expect you to come."

Yang Yuanchao said with a smile.

Li Changhe nodded: "How much do you want? I'll ask for you."

"It doesn't have to be too much, two hundred will be fine. Tell the person and I can exchange it for a higher price."

Yang Yuanchao gave a number.

"That's not a lot. You don't need to ask anyone else. I have it myself!"

"If you need it urgently, I'll take it home for you now!"

Li Changhe thought it was much more, just 200 foreign exchange certificates.

In fact, he has it in his bag, but if you take it out directly, it will seem too casual and too exaggerated.

After all, who would carry some foreign exchange certificates with them for no reason?

"Don't worry. I have to make another appointment with that person. So, when I go to give you the ticket, you can pick it up together. I can also write a letter of introduction for your sister at that time, just in case."

"Leave your name to me later. I'll use this letter of introduction as proof. When we get on the train, she can go directly to the conductor or the staff."

"By the way, Changhe, I'll ask how much the foreign exchange certificates are worth on the black market and I'll give you the money in proportion."

Yang Yuanchao said to Li Changhe seriously.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "Why use the black market? Just use the RMB currency value. They are equal in value."

"Let's not waste time on those nonsense. If you have too much, it will be hard for me to handle it. If you have three or five hundred, just come back to me and I will help you change it. It's that easy!"

Li Changhe had a lot of foreign exchange coupons in his hands, so he could use them to pay favors.

"Okay, I know, you don't have to be polite with me!"

"Then I'll come find you then!"

"By the way, have you watched your movie recently? It's really well made!"

Yang Yuanchao did not argue with Li Changhe. After all, Li Changhe's style of doing things was already well-known in Peking University, which was why he was willing to interact with Li Changhe.

"my movie?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's your novel The Letter, which was adapted by the Beijing Film Studio. The movie has been released. It's really good. My friend and I went to the cinema to watch it the other day."

"Really? I haven't paid attention to it yet. I'll go back and check it out!"

Li Changhe said with some surprise.

He really didn't know that the movie adapted from his novel was released.

But on second thought, it's been almost a year now, and director Ling bought the adaptation rights in the second half of last year, so it's almost time for the film to be released now.

After all, this is just a feature film, and it is actually very easy to shoot.

Nowadays, there are no screenings for movies. After filming, the movies are sold directly to China Film Corporation, which then distributes them to theaters. In the end, the screening is China Film Corporation's responsibility.

"We saw it the other day. The director shot it very well and the story is very exciting, especially at the end. What he shot was bolder than what you wrote."

"Forget it, I won't tell you the ending. As the original author, you can go and see it for yourself!"

After Yang Yuanchao aroused Li Changhe's curiosity, he stopped talking.

"What you said, I really have to go and take a look."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to go watch a movie with my wife."

Li Changhe thought that Zhu Lin had probably gone home by now, so he thought it would be nice for the two of them to go to the movies together.

"I really envy you married people. Okay, go ahead. I'll go to the railway office first and help you check it out!"

Yang Yuanchao then went downstairs with Li Changhe, and he went to the Ministry of Railways, while Li Changhe went home.

When I got home, as expected, Zhu Lin and Shen Yuxiu had already returned and were cleaning up in the kitchen.

"Actually, it's not convenient for you to live in this house."

"Now your food supply is all in school. If you really live here, it will be inconvenient to buy food."

Liu Shuwan said to Zhu Lin while packing.

"Oh, Mom, we only come here two or three days a week, look at what you're saying."

"Okay, okay, you can live wherever you want. I don't care."

"I see they have a refrigerator. I'll make you some steamed buns later. You can just bring them over and put them in the refrigerator. You don't have to steam them yourself."

"I'll put some more rice in later, so it'll be convenient whether I want to make rice or eat steamed buns."

"It's not a big deal since it's so close."

At this time, Shen Yuxiu smiled and tried to smooth things over between the mother and daughter.

"Thanks, Mom. I thought so too."

Zhu Lin said sweetly at this moment.

Isn't this the purpose of buying a refrigerator?

"Just spoil them both."

Liu Shuwan said somewhat helplessly.

Shen Yuxiu smiled and said nothing.

What else can you do if you don't spoil your own children?

"What are you two doing tonight, going home or not?"

"We live here and eat out at night!"

Zhu Lin said decisively.

The big house is already tidied up, has air conditioning and a new bed, so I must live in the big house.

"Okay, I know it."

"Come on, Yuxiu, let's go too, so as not to get in the way here."

Liu Shuwan said sourly.

"Remember to keep the windows open for ventilation."

Before Shen Yuxiu left, she gave the two of them some instructions.

Nowadays, people don’t care about formaldehyde, and there aren’t so many synthetic materials in the house, so it doesn’t matter whether the house is ventilated or not.

Seeing that Zhu Lin was very interested, Li Changhe did not refute and told Zhu Lin to live in the new house if he wanted to.

After Liu Shuwan and Shen Yuxiu left, Li Changhe said to Gong Xue, "Xiaoxue, I just went to ask for tickets for you. I think they will be delivered to you in the next few days."

"Thank you, brother-in-law"

Gong Xue thanked Li Changhe quietly.

"By the way, we still have to go back home to get some clothes and stuff."

Zhu Lin then thought of the key point: they hadn't taken their clothes yet.

"Then go home, pick up your clothes, and then go out for dinner tonight. After dinner, we'll go to the movies together."

"I heard that the movie adapted from my novel has been released. It's pretty good. Let's go and see it."

"Is that the Letter?"

Zhu Lin asked in surprise at this time.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, that's the one!"

"Okay, let's go and see it tonight. Let's buy the tickets first. Is there a movie theater near us?"

Zhu Lin asked thoughtfully.

"There's a newly built screening room in front of the library, and it's now open as a movie theater. You can go check it out when you pass by later."

In those days, there were many places in the capital to show movies, which was far from the later times where movies were only shown in movie theaters.

In this era, watching movies is a major entertainment activity for the people. Movies can be shown in every place, from the most professional movie theaters to the auditoriums of various units.

In addition, many units have built their own cinemas, including cultural centers, workers' clubs, various theaters, etc., which also show movies and have the attributes of cinemas.

Following a government decree last year, many cultural centers and internal cinemas belonging to various units were opened to the public.

This created extremely convenient conditions for the people in Beijing to watch movies.

The library that Li Changhe mentioned is actually the future National Library, of course it is still called Beijing City Library now.

Just about one kilometer north of the Overseas Chinese Apartment, this library began to be rebuilt in 75, and part of it is now open to the public, including the screening room.

This was discovered by Li Changhe when he came here to look up information.

"Okay, I'll go over and ask when I pass by, and buy the ticket in advance if there is one, and then go get the stuff."

The three people then went downstairs. This time there were only two cars. Zhu Lin carried Gong Xue on an electric bike, while Li Changhe rode a 28-inch bicycle.

I went to the library and was lucky enough to have some tickets left for a show in the evening.

The three of them bought it and headed home.

When I got home, I explained everything to Shen Yuxiu and then started packing my clothes.

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin put their clothes into the suitcases, while Gong Xue had her own suitcase.

Afterwards, Gong Xue carried her own suitcase, while Li Changhe tied his suitcase to the back seat.

After bringing the clothes back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, the three of them cooled down in the air-conditioning for a while.

Then he looked at the time, went out to eat, and then came to the entrance of the library.

There was already a long line at the door at this moment, and many people came to buy tickets to watch the movies after work.

"Thank goodness we bought the tickets in advance, otherwise we might not have been able to get one!"

The three of them chatted as they lined up to enter the screening room.

Soon, the movie started and Li Changhe's name appeared on it.
