Chapter 262 Wrangler

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the end of December, and there were only a few days left until New Year's Day 12.

Li Changhe's study career this semester is about to end.

Although it is said that their exams will be held after New Year's Day.

But in fact, before that, everyone was reviewing intensively.

It wasn't until Saturday afternoon that Li Changhe was preparing to leave.

Lin Yifu came back at this time.

"Changhe, are you ready to go home?"

A few days ago, Li Changhe had brought him news about his family, and his wife and children were safe.

He was not even under surveillance because his news was classified as missing rather than defecting.

I guess even the other side of the strait is not sure whether Lin Yifu has really come to the mainland, after all, he changed his name as soon as he came here.

After learning the news, Lin Yifu was completely relieved and his relationship with Li Changhe became closer.

Especially since both of them studied political economics and have a good understanding of Western economics, they actually have more topics to talk about in daily life.

"Let's go, you'll be alone in the empty room tonight!"

Li Changhe smiled and waved at him, then went downstairs and rode away on his bicycle.

Not to mention, living in a graduate student dormitory is more convenient than living in an ordinary college dormitory.

After returning to the staff quarters and changing into an electric car, Li Changhe headed towards Xiaoxitian.

The weather is getting colder, and Li Changhe is considering buying a down jacket.

It is sold in Friendship Store, both domestically produced and imported.

The earliest down jacket in China was produced in 72. It was first produced by a duck farm run by a group of educated youth from Jiangxi Province. In the same year, trial production began in Shanghai.

By 75, the technology had become more mature. The national women's mountaineering team successfully climbed Mount Everest. The down jackets and sleeping bags they wore were made in Shanghai.

In addition, the Friendship Store also imports a lot of foreign down jackets and sells them in the store.

However, this thing is now considered a relatively high-end clothing product. Wearing it in a campus full of military coats is still quite eye-catching.

Li Changhe thought about it and decided to hold on a little longer and buy it during the winter vacation.

When Li Changhe arrived at Xiaoxitian, he found Gong Xue standing there pushing a bicycle.

Gong Xue's bicycle was the same one that Zhu Lin had. It was originally for Li Xiaojun to ride. However, after Li Xiaojun moved back to the staff quarters, he became one with the school and was very close to both the dormitory and his home.

So the bicycle was returned and left in the Overseas Chinese Apartment with no one riding it.

Last time, Zhu Lin saw Gong Xue always taking the bus to go to her house, so she simply lent her bicycle to her.

This thing is very precious to other families, but to Li Changhe and his family, it is completely worthless.
At the same time, there were several students from the Film Academy standing not far from Gong Xue. Li Changhe took a look and found that they were Xie Yuan and the others.

At this moment, Xie Yuan and the others were also looking at Gong Xue from a distance.

After all, this girl is pretty, prettier than any of the girls in their film academy's acting class.

I just don’t know, who are you waiting for after standing at the door for so long?
As a result, Xie Yuan and the others never expected that the girl was actually waiting for Li Changhe?

Li Changhe was too lazy to pay attention to Xie Yuan and the others, and instead looked at Gong Xue.

"Are you waiting for your sister Zhu Lin here?"

"No, brother-in-law, I am waiting for you two. But I am not here to wait for you. Director Wang sent me here."

"Director Wang sent you? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Li Changhe asked curiously.

"Director Wang wants to treat you to a meal, and asked me today if there is any way to find you guys."

"I thought that you, brother-in-law, would come here to pick up Sister Zhu Lin on Saturday afternoons. Since it's so close, I said I would wait for you here."

"Director Wang called me here."

Gong Xue spoke softly to Li Changhe at this time.

Beijing Film Studio is very close to here, separated by two schools, the University of Posts and Telecommunications and the Normal University.

In fact, to be more precise, there is one between them, because the University of Posts and Telecommunications and the Normal University are side by side in the east and west.

It’s less than ten minutes’ ride on a bike, so no wonder Wang Yang asked him to come over.

"Long river!"

At this moment, Xie Yuan's enthusiastic voice came from the side.

Then a few people came over laughing and greeted Li Changhe enthusiastically.

However, although he was calling Li Changhe implicitly, his eyes kept glancing at Gong Xue.

This girl is pretty when viewed from a distance, and even prettier when viewed up close!

"Okay, stop looking. Why don't you go back to the dormitory after school? What are you waiting for?"

"Aren't we guys planning to go out for dinner? How about joining us? I'll treat you."

Xie Yuan said with a smile at this time.

"Yes, it's our treat!"

Zhang Tielin also spoke loudly, but his eyes kept falling on Gong Xue.

This girl is much prettier than Shen Danping.

"Tsk, you guys are so ambitious. I've never seen you so generous before."

"But it's a pity that you guys are late. Do you have an appointment?"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Hmm? Changhe, are you going to go with this comrade? If so, I think we can eat together. We are all of the same age, so we can be friends."

Xie Yuan said with a smile on his face.

"You wish. Director Wang Yang of the Beijing Film Studio is inviting me to dinner tonight. Are you guys going too?"

"I'll take you with me!"

Li Changhe said with a sneer at this time.

After hearing this, Xie Yuan and the others couldn't help but smack their lips.

"Changhe, is this true? Director Wang is inviting you to dinner?"

Since Beijing Film Academy is so close to Beijing Film Studio, they are naturally very familiar with the people in Beijing Film Studio.

Apart from anything else, if I can be assigned to the Beijing Film Studio after graduation, it can be said to be the best unit.

Unfortunately, except for Fang Shu who has been reserved by the Beijing Film Studio, no one else in the class can be sure of being assigned to the Beijing Film Studio.

And now, the director of Beijing Film Studio actually wants to invite Li Changhe to dinner?
"Believe it or not, all right, just go do what you need to do. I don't have time to mess with you today."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Changhe did not seem to be faking it, Xie Yuan and the others had no choice but to leave.

On the way out, Xie Yuan still looked puzzled.

"Director Wang invites Changhe to dinner?"

"It's probably the recent 'Jungle Gun King'. The screenwriter is Ling Jue, and Zhu Lin and others are listed as assistant directors."

Zhang Fengyi said thoughtfully at this time.

"It's probably because 'Jungle King' is so popular that there are queues every day to buy tickets at the cinema."

Zhou Liqing also said this.

"That girl, do you think it's possible that she is also from the Beijing Film Studio?"

"I need to go back and ask Fang Shu about this. She is half an actor in the Beijing Film Studio and she knows everyone there!"

Xie Yuan said with a smile at this time, but then glanced at Zhang Tielin again.

"Lao Zhang, you are dating Shen Danping, so don't fall in love with someone else."

"What are you talking about? I just said it casually. I'm curious about the girl's identity."

"Besides, Changhe is married now, and he is chatting and laughing with that girl, right?"

Zhang Tielin hurriedly explained.

Xie Yuan glanced at him and said nothing more.

Are you worthy enough to compare with Changhe?

On the other side, at the entrance of Beijing Film Academy, after Xie Yuan and the others left, Gong Xue asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, are these all students from Beijing Film Academy?"

"Yes, they are all from the acting department and they take classes here."

"When you look for a partner in the future, try not to look for someone in the entertainment industry. There are not many good ones!" Li Changhe reminded Gong Xue at this time.

It’s not that the people in this circle have bad character, but there are too many temptations in this circle, and few men can resist.

"Brother-in-law, I haven't thought about finding a partner yet!"

Gong Xue said shyly.

She had just graduated from the art troupe, so she had never thought about finding a partner.

"Well, that's what I said, just to remind you!"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

At this time, the school bus also drove back and a group of teachers got off first. Zhu Lin usually waited until the end.

When several teachers saw Li Changhe, they all smiled, greeted him and left.

Zhu Lin came down last and saw Gong Xue appear here, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Xiaoxue, why are you here too?"

"She's waiting for us. Wang Yang wants to treat us to a meal, so he sent her to keep watch."

"Ah? Treat us to dinner?"

Zhu Lin was a little surprised.

"I don't know why I invited you to dinner, but Director Wang asked me to do so this afternoon."

Gong Xue spoke softly to Zhu Lin.

"Forget the reason. If someone invites us, we should just go. It's not far anyway!"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!"

The three of them then quickly arrived at the Beijing Film Studio and then came to Wang Yang's office.

"Yo, here it comes!"

In the office, Wang Yang was looking at some materials. When he saw Li Changhe and the others coming over, he immediately smiled and said.

"Director Wang, what's going on?"

Li Changhe asked with a smile.

"Good thing!"

"You have helped us so much, I have to thank you very much."

"Then Director, I'm leaving first!"

Gong Xue said tactfully at this time.

"Gong Xue, don't leave either. We are not strangers. I have something to do with you tonight!"

"Let's go, I've made all the arrangements. I've invited a chef to come to our cafeteria and set up a table of Sichuan cuisine. We'll eat in the cafeteria today."

"You don't mind, do you?"

Finally, Wang Yang asked with a smile.

Li Changhe was somewhat speechless: "What are you talking about? It's good enough that you can treat us to a meal. We have no right to be picky."

"Hey, I'm just joking with you, go!"

Afterwards, Wang Yang brought Li Changhe and the others to the cafeteria, where there was a small private room and a round table.

"Director, you're here?"

"Lao He, serve the food!"

Wang Yang shouted at the top of his voice into the house.

Soon, plates of Sichuan cuisine were served.

"Changhe, today is Saturday, and you don't have classes tomorrow, so why don't we have a drink tonight?"

At this time, Wang Yang asked Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe heard this, smiled and said, "It's okay to drink a little, but Director Wang, I have to tell you in advance."

"If you want to talk to me about something tonight, then we can't drink. Otherwise, I might get into trouble if I drink."

"If we're just having a meal tonight, then we can have a drink. I'll risk my life to keep you company, gentlemen!"

Hearing what Li Changhe said, Wang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about business first."

"Tonight, first of all, I want to thank you for your script. The Jungle Gun King gave me a lot of confidence. Now China Film has begun to make concessions. Of course, they are still discussing how to withdraw, but this is a good thing."

"Just for this, I have to drink with you!"

"But there is one more thing, let's talk about it in advance."

"Well, this matter is related to you."

"Gong Xue is your sister, right?"

At this time, Wang Yang pointed at Gong Xue and said.

"Ok!"

Li Changhe nodded, then looked at Wang Yang. He probably guessed what Wang Yang was thinking.

As expected, Wang Yang smiled and said, "Changhe, your sister is in trouble now."

"Her image is so outstanding. There is no script suitable for her in our Beijing Film Studio at the moment."

"But it's not right for you to always leave her alone like this. She is an actress after all."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time. You have to help your own sister!"

"No, you can write a script tailored for your sister, and we will come to the Beijing Film Studio to shoot it, how about that?"

Wang Yang finally revealed his true intentions and stated his purpose.

He finally discovered that this kid was really amazing.

The books he produces are definitely good.

If this was tailor-made for Gong Xue, wouldn't Gong Xue become famous immediately?
Gong Xue was a little surprised at this time. How could this involve her?
"Write a script?"

Li Changhe glanced at Wang Yang, then said with a smile: "It's not impossible."

"But Director Wang, I want to ask, can our Beijing Film Studio make co-productions now?"

"A co-production?"

After hearing this, Wang Yang was a little surprised.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, for example, co-producing a movie with a Hong Kong film company, is that allowed?"

"Of course it is allowed, but there are certain restrictions. Just follow them."

"What's wrong? You wrote a script for Gong Xue, and it's related to co-production?"

Wang Yang asked curiously at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "I guess so."

"Wang Changzi, what if I find a film company in Hong Kong to work with our Beijing Film Studio to produce the script I wrote?"

"Why bother?"

Wang Yang asked somewhat puzzled.

Li Changhe glanced at his wife and said with a smile, "It's simple. I can pay for the film equipment, film, and even the shooting costs. Our Beijing Film Studio will provide the people and actors."

"But director, how about letting my girlfriend Zhu Lin take the role?"

Li Changhe said gently at this time.

Everyone present was surprised, including Zhu Lin.

How did this suddenly involve her?
"Director Wang, to be honest, even if my girlfriend is assigned to the Beijing Film Studio after graduation, it will be difficult for her to direct a movie independently due to seniority. Besides, the money is from the government, and we can't force her to make a movie and use the government's money to practice."

"Why don't we just co-produce a movie? I'll pay for the equipment, and Beijing Film Studio will provide the quota and the crew. Let's co-produce a movie, let her direct it, and let Gong Xue star in it. How do you think?"

It is impossible to give training to his own wife according to seniority, but it is okay to give training to Zhu Lin by taking the leading role in the co-production.

What's more, he didn't just want to give Zhu Lin a training session, he had even thought about the content of the movie.

The first one is an adapted version of "The Shepherd" based on his novel "The Death of an Educated Youth".

It’s hard for him to say about other movies, but he has seen The Horse Herder and can give some guidance when the time comes.

Let's see if Lao Tian can be the assistant director and Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei can be the photographers.

If he pulled together a film crew, he wouldn't believe that they could make a worse film than "The Shepherd" in their previous life.
