Chapter 209: Learn from the Magic City!

Chapter 209: Learn the language of the Demon City!

"How come you two also know Li Changhe?"

When Wang Yang heard Chen Kaige say that they were waiting for Li Changhe, he became interested.

Isn’t this Li Changhe a student of Peking University? Why is he hanging out with Zhuangzhuang and the kid from Old Chen’s family?
"Uncle Wang, we are good friends with Li Changhe!"

Chen Kaige said with a smile at this time.

Tian Zhuangzhuang on the side interrupted and said, "His wife is a classmate of ours in the directing department."

"Wait a minute, let me stroke it!"

"Are you guys buddies with him?"

"And his wife is a classmate of yours in the directing department?"

Wang Yang started to smooth over their relationship at this time.

Ling Zifeng, who was standing by, also sounded a little surprised.

"We met when we were taking the Beijing Film Academy exam. He accompanied his wife to take the exam, and then we met."

"Later, his wife was admitted to the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, and was in the same class as us. We also became familiar with Li Changhe and we became good friends."

Tian Zhuangzhuang took the initiative to help Wang Yang straighten out their relationship. Wang Yang nodded in understanding, then turned to look at Ling Zifeng.

"Old Ling, you never told me that his wife is a student in the directing department?"

Ling Zifeng was confused at the moment: "Old Wang, how would I know his wife is a student of the directing department?"

"I'm looking for someone to buy the adaptation rights. Can I ask about their family affairs?"

"I didn't expect him to be married. After all, he doesn't look strong enough for his age."

"It's good to be married, it's good to be married!"

"Now there will definitely be no problem with us buying the adaptation rights."

Wang Yang said proudly at this time.

Ling Zifeng was a little surprised. Why was Old Wang acting so weird?

"Old Wang, what are you doing?"

When Wang Yang saw Ling Zifeng's eagerness for knowledge, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Old Ling, why don't you understand this?"

"Isn't his wife a student in the directing department now?"

"Yup!"

Ling Zifeng nodded.

"That's it!"

Wang Yang slapped his thigh and said to Ling Zifeng, "Think about it, his wife is a student of the directing department. Where will she be assigned after graduation?"

"His family lives here, so close to our Beijing Film Studio. What do you think about us taking him to the Beijing Film Studio when the time comes?"

"When you become an employee of our factory, won't you be able to adapt Li Changhe's novels at will?"

Wang Yang said proudly.

Ling Zifeng nodded, but frowned again: "Old Wang, you are too happy too early. If his wife is in the same grade as Zhuangzhuang, it will take several more years for her to graduate."

"It's several years, I know! But I can promise him in advance!"

"After graduation, I can directly join our Beijing Film Studio. I don't have to worry about job placement. How great is that."

"Think about it, as a female director, is there any better place for her to work than the Beijing Film Studio?"

"It's in Beijing, and close to home! If you were assigned to the Bayi Film Studio, you would have to go to Tianjin. If you were assigned to the Shanghai Film Studio, you would have to go to Shanghai."

"No matter how you look at it, our Beijing Film Studio is the most suitable place, it's right next to our home."

"If they had promised him this in advance, they would have solved their worries and it would have been easy for them to adapt his novel."

Wang Yang said to Ling Zifeng proudly.

Chen Kaige, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel sour when he heard this.

He also wanted to work at the Beijing Film Studio after graduation, but judging from Wang Yang's tone now, he doesn't have much chance.

According to Chen Kaige's estimation, when their class graduates from the acting department, there will only be one or two vacancies for each factory. After all, there are only about twenty people in total.

Regardless of other things at the Beijing Film Studio, Tian Zhuangzhuang is 100% committed to staying.

Just because of his status, Beijing Film Studio would not let him go to another studio.

Apart from Tian Zhuangzhuang, the Beijing Film Studio is at most limited, and one more spot can be reserved. Chen Kaige thought he still had a good chance.

Although he doesn't have as strong connections as Tian Zhuangzhuang, his father is also a veteran employee of the Beijing Film Studio after all.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. If you make an effort, you will probably be able to keep him.

But now, Wang Yang said this directly, so there is no doubt that he will not get the spot.

After all, no matter how tough the Beijing Film Studio is, you can't have three director graduates in one directing class. How can other sister studios survive like this? You can't be too greedy.

So Chen Kaige knew that the Beijing Film Studio could at most handle two directors.

If Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhu Lin are both booked, then we’re screwed.

Where am I going?
Just when Chen Kaige was feeling depressed, Shen Yuxiu walked slowly towards him from a distance.

She left work early again today.

Mainly because it was summer vacation and there was nothing to do at school, she came back to prepare some steamed buns and send them to her son and daughter-in-law.

Just walking downstairs and seeing several men pushing bicycles there, Shen Yuxiu felt somewhat puzzled.

Recently, the management of the staff quarters is not as strict as before, mainly because there are so many educated youth and teachers returning this year.

Teachers and educated youth who had gone to the countryside came back every now and then, and the security department couldn't keep them outside and not let them in.

After being reported several times, the security department became lax. After all, people could enter and leave the school freely, so why shouldn't they be allowed to enter a staff housing estate?

This is also the reason why Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Yang and others were able to come in easily.

When Chen Kaige saw Shen Yuxiu coming over, his eyes lit up.

"Aunt Shen!"

At this time, Chen Kaige greeted Shen Yuxiu enthusiastically.

Shen Yuxiu looked at Chen Kaige, then said thoughtfully: "I seem to have seen you before, are you Changhe's friend?" "Yes, we are Changhe's friends, and we are also classmates with Zhu Lin."

"And these two are Director Wang Yang and Director Ling Zifeng of the Beijing Film Studio. It was my uncle Ling who adapted and filmed Chang He's novel."

At this time, Chen Kaige introduced it enthusiastically to Shen Yuxiu.

Shen Yuxiu nodded in confusion. She had never seen the movie, but she could tell from what she heard that the film studio had adapted her son's novel into a movie.

"Director Wang, Director Ling, hello."

Shen Yuxiu greeted them with a smile.

Wang Yang also smiled and said, "Hello, you must be Comrade Li Changhe's mother. We want to find Comrade Li Changhe. Is he at home?"

Sure enough, it was someone looking for Li Changhe.

Shen Yuxiu shook her head at this time: "He doesn't live here anymore."

"Don't you live here?"

Not only Wang Yang and Ling Zifeng, but even Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige were full of surprise.

If they don't live here, where do they live?

You know, the family compound where Li Changhe and his family live now is already of very high standards.

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige still live in a tube-shaped building.

"He has moved to the Overseas Chinese Apartments. If you want to look for him, go to the Overseas Chinese Apartments."

"I'll give you the address."

Shen Yuxiu said with a smile.

If it were just Wang Yang and Ling Zifeng, Shen Yuxiu would definitely not tell them the address.

However, she did remember Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige, who were friends of Changhe and Linlin.

"Thank you, Aunt Shen."

After getting the address, several people looked at each other.

"Let's go to the Overseas Chinese Apartment."

There were four people and three bicycles. Chen Kaige was riding his father's bicycle with Tian Zhuangzhuang on the back seat.

A group of people rushed towards Huayuan Village.

At this time, at Li Changhe's home, after finishing reading the newspaper and Reference News in his hand, Li Changhe came out to drink a glass of water.

At this time, Zhu Lin and Gong Xue had finished their rehearsal. They were both drinking water and watching TV.

Although there are no TV series on TV, there are still some documentaries and the like to help pass the time.

"By the way, Xiaoxue, when you come back, please teach me the dialect of Magic City."

Li Changhe remembered that he still had the task of learning the dialect of Shanghai, so he sat on the sofa beside him and talked to Gong Xue.

Gong Xue was no longer as embarrassed as she had been in the morning. After all, if she was determined to become a professional actor, she must learn to control her emotions.

"Brother-in-law, why do you suddenly want to learn the language of the Magic City?"

Gong Xue asked Li Changhe curiously.

Li Changhe smiled and explained, "It can't be helped. The wealthy people in Hong Kong Island are proud to speak Shanghai dialect."

"Back then, the most wealthy people fled from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island. Even Du Yuesheng died in Hong Kong Island. The wealthy people there are proud to speak Shanghai dialect."

Actually, Du Yuesheng has been dead for less than 30 years, but Li Changhe always feels that he is a figure from the last century, and the sense of time is particularly long.

But think about it, although he cannot meet them, many figures who led the modern Chinese history, such as Zhang Xueliang and Soong Mei-ling, are still alive.

And they lived quite a long time, both of them lived into the new century.

Zhang Xueliang listened to Jay Chou and Soong Mei-ling watched Happy Camp, but I don’t know if they were jokes.

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Gong Xue nodded: "Okay, when I come back, I will teach you to speak the Magic City language."

Li Changhe was about to nod when there was a knock on the door.

"Someone is coming? Is it our mother?"

Zhu Lin asked curiously at this time.

Except for their parents, few people know where they live now.

"I'll open the door and take a look."

Li Changhe stood up, went to open the door, and outside the door appeared Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige, followed by Ling Zifeng and an unfamiliar man.

"Director Ling, Lao Tian, ​​why are you here?"

"come on in."

Li Changhe stepped aside and let a few people come in.

When Tian Zhuangzhuang and the others came in, the first thing they saw was the scene inside the house.

There is an empty hall, various white appliances, and a large color TV.

"Oh my god, Changhe, why did you suddenly come to live here?"

"It's so cool, what is this? Is it one of those foreign air conditioners that keeps blowing cool air?"

At this time, Chen Kaige opened his mouth wide and asked Li Changhe in shock.

The other people were so surprised that they were speechless.

The main reason is that Li Changhe’s accommodation conditions are really superior compared to that of this era.

"This belongs to a friend of mine from Hong Kong Island. He rarely lives here after buying it. Knowing that I still live with my parents, he insisted on lending the house to us."

"I thought it was empty anyway, so I had to take advantage of the capitalists, so I moved in with my wife."

Li Changhe made up a reason on the spot.

There's no way. I can't say that I bought this house and everything in it myself. That would be too exaggerated.

At this time, Wang Yang looked around, then looked at Zhu Lin and Gong Xue sitting on the sofa, and then his eyes lit up.

(I will update twice today, and twice tomorrow, because I have to drive to Xi'an, more than a thousand kilometers by myself. I will resume three updates when I arrive the day after tomorrow!)
