Chapter 214 Good intentions lead to bad things
Early in the morning, Li Changhe got up early, went to the study, turned on the air conditioner, and then started writing at his desk.
In fact, he started writing "Jungle Gun King" last night and it went very smoothly.
In fact, this kind of script is quite simple to write. There is nothing special about the story line. The difficulty lies in the setting of several villains.
These villains must have their own unique skills, and then Li Changhe arranged the protagonist to be a jungle jack, so that the protagonist can take advantage of the villains and kill them using their respective strengths, including traps, sniping, fighting and other aspects.
Then there are the hateful conversations.
“Eat some watermelon.”
Zhu Lin pushed open the door and held a tray with a few pieces of cut watermelon on it.
Now that we have refrigerators, it is convenient to chill watermelons.
There is a large supply of watermelons in the capital, and now the capital has become an important watermelon producing area in the country.
"dong dong dong"
Just then, someone knocked on the door again.
"I'll go open the door and take a look."
Li Changhe came to the door and opened it. The person who appeared outside was his Peking University classmate Lao Yang.
"Oh my god, Changhe, is this your home?"
After Li Changhe opened the door, Lao Yang looked at the spacious house inside and couldn't help being surprised.
These big houses should be considered the top-notch residences in Overseas Chinese Apartments.
"Come in quickly!"
Li Changhe said with a smile.
At this time, Zhu Lin took out the watermelon that had been brought into Li Changhe's study.
"Linlin, this is Lao Yang, my classmate who works in the railway system."
Li Changhe introduced Lao Yang and Zhu Lin.
"There's no need to introduce my sister-in-law. She's very famous in Peking University and we've all admired her for a long time."
At this time, Old Yang said to Zhu Lin with a smile.
"Come on, Lao Yang, have some watermelon."
Zhu Lin said with a smile.
Lao Yang nodded: "Don't worry, let's talk about business first."
"Changhe, I have to say we are lucky this time. There is an extra carriage added to the train tomorrow afternoon, and it is a soft sleeper carriage."
"Most of the soft sleeper rooms inside are occupied, but the top-grade double soft sleeper is vacant."
"The conductor is an older sister I know. I have already made an agreement with her. I will have Comrade Gong Xue take this ticket and this letter of introduction and go directly to her tomorrow."
"My eldest sister will arrange for her to be in there."
As Lao Yang spoke, he pushed out a letter of introduction and a train ticket.
Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "Boy, this is too efficient. I thought it would take a few more days."
"It's hard to say for sure. It all depends on luck. I can get the ticket, but whether or not you can get a soft sleeper compartment is not up to me."
"That's why I told you one week at that time, because I knew that at least one soft sleeper car would be put up every week."
"But we were lucky this time and met him very quickly, so we will naturally give him priority."
Yang Yuanchao explained confidently.
"Wait a moment."
Li Changhe then came into the room and took out an envelope.
"Yes, three foreign exchange certificates in full amounts. I was afraid you might not have enough, so I put one extra in case of an emergency."
"Three hundred? Thank you very much."
"But you caught me by surprise. I only have two hundred dollars in cash. I'll give it to you when I get back."
Yang Yuanchao said with great surprise at this moment.
He cannot use the three hundred foreign exchange coupons for the time being, but foreign exchange coupons are a good thing and it will definitely be useful if he keeps them.
"Forget it, just two hundred dollars, the more doesn't matter."
"If you really calculate it that carefully, how should I calculate the price of this soft sleeper ticket?"
The price of a high-end soft sleeper ticket is also not low. More importantly, it is not something you can buy just because you have money. It all depends on luck.
Hearing what Li Changhe said, Yang Yuanchao smiled and nodded.
"Okay, even if I took advantage of you, I won't stay any longer. I have to go find someone to trade with."
Old Yang picked up the envelope containing the foreign exchange coupons from Li Changhe and said with a smile.
"Eat a piece of watermelon before you leave!"
Zhu Lin said with a smile at this time.
"Okay, I'll just take it and eat it on the way. It's cool."
Old Yang took a piece of watermelon in his hand and said goodbye to Li Changhe and the others.
After Lao Yang left, Li Changhe shouted into the house, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue."
"coming."
Inside the room, Gong Xue was writing furiously. She was writing a translation for Li Changhe, which was a translation of their Shanghai dialect.
"What's wrong, brother-in-law?"
"Yes, my classmate has brought your ticket. It's for tomorrow afternoon's train. You can take a sleeper tonight and arrive in the Magic City the day after tomorrow morning."
"Tickets for tomorrow?"
"Soft sleeper?"
At this time, Gong Xue looked at Li Changhe in surprise. He actually got her a soft sleeper ticket.
This is too high-end.
"Brother-in-law, this is too expensive. Did it cost a lot of money? Let me give you the money."
Gong Xue hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.
Although her income has not been high over the years, and she has used part of it to subsidize her family, she still has about 500 yuan left, which should be enough for the ticket. "No need to pay, because it didn't cost any money. My classmate helped me get it. This is considered a welfare within the railway."
"Take this letter of introduction and your ticket tomorrow and find the conductor when you get on the train. She will take you directly to the soft sleeper car."
Li Changhe said with a smile.
Zhu Lin also smiled and said, "Take it. It really didn't cost any money. It was just given to him by his classmate."
The extra one hundred foreign exchange certificates cannot actually be considered as ticket money, but a reward from Li Changhe to Lao Yang.
He had told Zhu Lin this before.
In fact, before Li Changhe went to Lao Yang to buy the ticket, the relationship between him and Lao Yang was not very close. At that time, the relationship between the two was just that of two familiar people, and Lao Yang unilaterally recognized his relationship.
Of course, he is also very familiar with Lao Yang, but this kind of familiarity is similar to the kind of familiarity between classmates. In fact, he is so familiar with many people in the school.
It was not until this time that the two of them really started to interact in private.
The foreign exchange coupons are actually a way for Li Changhe to show Lao Yang his rewards and his channels in foreign exchange.
This also means that the two people will have a true friendship in the future.
After all, friendship is forged through busyness, just like the relationship between relatives.
"And tomorrow at noon, we'll go to the Jingcheng Hotel for lunch as a farewell to you."
"Come to think of it, I'm kind of reluctant to let you go."
"I am also very happy to live with Sister Linlin. When I come back from the crew, I will practice acting with Sister Linlin."
Gong Xue said in a low voice.
It is impossible for her to live here any longer. When she comes back, she will have to go back to the dormitory. It is impossible for her to live outside forever.
"Well, let's talk about it when you come back. First, finish filming this play seriously. Just like Changhe said, you are the heroine. When you get there, listen more to the director's instructions."
"Oh, I see!"
Gong Xue nodded.
On the other side, what Li Changhe and his friends didn’t know was that an inexplicable crisis was happening.
The origin of the matter was still Wang Yang. Of course, this big guy meant well but ended up with a bad result. The story has to start from when the two people returned.
After returning to the Beijing Film Studio, Wang Yang rushed to the Culture Bureau that afternoon. After much persuasion, he finally borrowed several of Bruce Lee's movie tapes back to the Beijing Film Studio.
"How's it going? Did you borrow Bruce Lee's movie?"
This morning, Ling Zifeng came to Wang Yang's office and asked curiously.
"I got it. Let's take a look at it in the screening room later."
Wang Yang said with a smile.
"By the way, speaking of which, after I came back yesterday, I chatted with Lao Chen and a few others, and I guess we even found some gossip."
"Just yesterday, Li Changhe's lover Zhu Lin also missed our Beijing Film Studio."
Ling Zifeng said with a smile at this time.
"Huh? What do you say?"
Wang Yang asked curiously.
Ling Zifeng immediately explained, "Didn't our studio make a movie called 'Hai Xia' in 75?"
"I know. It was directed by Chen Huaiai, Wang Haowei and Qian Jiang."
"Yes, that's it. When Mr. Qian was casting, he had his eyes on Zhu Lin."
"At that time, she was still working at the Beijing Drug Quality Inspection Institute. Old Qian discovered her by chance and wanted her to play a role in Haixia."
"Oh? Then why didn't she come?"
Wang Yang then asked in surprise, such a good seedling, we missed it?
Ling Zifeng smiled and said, "Old Qian said that the girl was not very interested in movies at the time, so she gave up after considering it."
"Later, when he asked, she was told that she had been admitted to the Academy of Medical Sciences, so it was impossible for her to film."
"I see. Then why did she enroll in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy?"
Wang Yang was a little surprised at this time. Logically speaking, after studying at the Academy of Medical Sciences, he should have become a successful cadre, so why did he suddenly choose to study directing?
"We were also puzzled by this yesterday. According to Lao Qian, this girl was not very interested in acting before."
"But we talked about it yesterday, and I think the problem lies with her recommended university."
"According to the timeline, she is considered the last batch of workers, peasants and soldiers to attend college."
Ling Zifeng said with a smile.
Wang Yang reacted immediately.
"No wonder!"
"I thought she was still studying directing at such an age, so there must be a reason for that."
"But not only that, she now has a good teacher."
"Yang Jie from Beijing TV Station is said to have accepted her as his apprentice."
"So if you want to recruit her to Beijing Film Studio in the future, it may not work. After all, Beijing TV Station, oh no, now it's CCTV, they are very familiar with it."
Ling Zifeng continued, Yang Jie can be regarded as the first generation director in China, and many people now know that she has accepted apprentices.
"I was wondering why Li Changhe didn't respond yesterday. It turns out that people really don't have to worry about finding a good job."
Although CCTV is just a TV station, it is a formal national media and its status is no less than that of Beijing Film Studio.
"If you put it that way, then I think we can't wait any longer."
"Since Comrade Zhu Lin is not safe, I think we should choose a safe one first."
"Let me make a phone call first."
Wang Yang then opened the drawer, took out the phone book from it, and started flipping through it.
After a moment, he broadcast a number.
The call was connected quickly and a warm smile appeared on Wang Yang's face.
"Hello, is this Mr. Tian from the General Political Department?"
"I'm Wang Yang, the old Wang from Beijing Film Studio."
"I want to ask you something. Is there an actress named Gong Xue in your General Political Department Repertory Theatre?"
