Chapter 387 Lunar Festival
Pei Yunxi is a person who keeps his promises, or in other words, a proud person.
Before the sun set, she actually found Jiang Chen carrying a net bag.
At that time, Jiang Chen was sitting in the courtyard, discussing the details of the movie with Thomas Felson.
"Jiang, how about you also play a cameo role in the movie? How about starring opposite Ning Hui?"
The so-called rival scene is to play a couple.
“I can’t.”
Jiang Chen refused without hesitation. Although many big shots didn’t mind making cameos in the movies they invested in, he was not ready to be a celebrity yet.
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
He is not a star, and it is not a good thing to be noticed too early.
"Jiang, don't worry, it won't take you long, it will only take a dozen shots."
Thomas Felson is good at teaching.
"Director Fei, please don't make things difficult for me. It's really not possible."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
At this time, Pei Yunxi came over carrying a net bag.
Jiang Chen raised his head.
“The bird you want.”
A net bag was thrown at the feet, and the mouth of the net was tied with a string. Several quails were jumping around in it. After careful counting, there were eight of them. Only so much.
Jiang Chen was surprised and was about to speak, but Pei Yunxi had already turned around and left.
Of course he was just joking, but he didn't expect that the other party actually fulfilled his promise and let him go with four quails, but he lost eight in the end.
Those unscrupulous profiteers will probably feel ashamed after seeing this.
But where did she get these quails?
"Jiang, what's going on? Haven't you taken it yet?"
Thomas Felson saw the clues and asked incredulously.
Jiang Chen is not trying to gain fame and reputation, pretending to be a gentleman. His purpose of coming here this time is to show Pei Yunxi his aggression.
“Alas.”
He sighed lonely, looked at the quail jumping helplessly in the net, and shook his head dejectedly.
“I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.”
Because Jiang Chen recited the poem in Chinese, this famous Hollywood director must not have understood it well. , but as an expert in the film and television industry, he is naturally good at observing words and emotions.
"Jiang, you have to use different methods to deal with different women. Like Pei, you have to have a physical relationship first and then develop an emotional relationship."
Jiang Chen was stunned.
There are indeed quite a few differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Orientals will certainly not speak so straightforwardly.
"To put it in your words, I would get on the boat first and pay for the ticket later."
Thomas Felson said matter-of-factly, and did not seem to think that his suggestion was quite mean.
That’s right.
Compared with the domestic entertainment industry, Hollywood is undoubtedly more revelry, and transactions involving wealth and sex can be seen everywhere.
There are countless women who want to be famous. Why should they praise you if they don’t pay the price?
The West, dominated by capitalism, looks at problems from a more realistic perspective. For great directors like Thomas Felson, the so-called stars do not actually have much status in his heart, because he has seen There are too many glamorous actors who look humble outside of the spotlight. We have also seen what kind of sacrifices actresses can make for a role.
This circle is dirty, disgusting, and cannot be looked at directly - this is not his inner secret thoughts, but the remarks made by this great director many times in public. .
So he felt incredible at this time.
If it were Hollywood, Pei Yunxi would have taken off his clothes and offered himself a pillow.
Even though the Oriental actress left a pretty good impression on him through this period of time together, it was still difficult to overturn Thomas Felson’s deep-rooted understanding of this industry.
Rules are rules.
Jiang is really too gentle, or in other words, too gentleman.
As an actor, how dare you treat investors like this?
Of course.
Thomas Felson did not understand Jiang Chen’s difficulties.
What Jiang Chen wants is not someone else’s body, his plan is more “greedy”.
"Director Fei, I sincerely admire Miss Pei. It is a spiritual admiration. It may not be the same as what you imagined."
Jiang Chen said this sanctimoniously. I picked up a bag of quails and went to cook.
Meal.
Jiang Chen sent someone to invite Pei Yunxi and Ning Hui, but only Ning Hui came.
“Yun Xi said she wasn’t hungry.”
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Ning Hui quickly added, “I tried to persuade her for a long time, but she didn’t come.”
< br>“Forget it if she doesn’t come, let’s eat.”
Jiang Chen didn’t force it.
“Where did she find these quails?”
During the dinner, Jiang Chen asked.
“It seems that she bought it from the villagers.”
“Does she have money?”
Pei Yunxi probably doesn't carry cash, and there is no popular payment software in the village.
Facing Jiang Chen's gaze, Ning Hui explained: "When she went out, she took a pair of earrings. When she came back, the earrings were gone."
But Do good deeds without worrying about the future.
No, with Ning Hui by his side, he is equivalent to an upgraded version of Luo Li'er.
Jiang Chen understood.
After eating, Jiang Chen wandered around the village alone. After a lot of effort, he found the villager who had collected Pei Yunxi's pair of earrings.
That necklace was sold for a whopping 300 million at a charity dinner just because Pei Yunxi wore it.
Even if this pair of jade earrings is not worth that much, at least it shouldn't be exchanged for eight quails, right?
What a prodigal bitch.
Of course.
These simple villagers did not intend to kill people. It must be that Pei Yunxi did not want to take advantage of others and insisted on replacing them with earrings.
After Jiang Chen explained his intention, the villager readily returned the earrings to him.
Jiang Chen forced several hundred-dollar bills into the opponent's hands.
Holding a pair of lost earrings, Jiang Chen wandered around and came to the residence of the two actresses.
It’s just that we have learned from the past, that window has long been closed.
The sun sets and the moon rises.
The stars are shining.
Wisps of smoke drifted out from the chimneys of every house.
Jiang Chen glanced at the closed window and knocked on the door.
“Squeak.”
The door opens.
“Mr. Jiang,”
“Is she there?”
Ning Hui nodded.
Jiang Chen entered the house and walked towards the bedroom on the east side.
I pushed the door tentatively. The door was not bolted and was easily pushed open.
In a simple bedroom, a woman with long hair disheveled sat in front of the dressing mirror, just sitting quietly, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Even if you are good-looking, there is no need to appreciate yourself." Hearing the ridicule, Pei Yunxi came back to his senses instantly, turned his head, his face changed slightly, and he immediately stood up.
“I’ve already given you the bird, what else do you want?”
Jiang Chen stepped into the room.
The woman looked wary.
“Stop, don’t come over!”
Jiang Chen raised his hand to let her see the pair of earrings, then continued to approach and slowly placed them on the dressing table.
Pei Yunxi's eyes fluctuated and became quiet.
After putting down the earrings, Jiang Chen remained silent, turned around and left.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll see you off."
Ning Hui's voice came from outside.
Pei Yunxi held the dressing table and sat down slowly.
In the next two days, Jiang Chen did not continue to harass the frightened woman. The game between men and women is like a war. You cannot rush for success and you must pay attention to relaxation.
I had a very fulfilling life as I traveled around with the delegation.
Unconsciously, we arrived at the annual Lunar Festival in the village.
For this important festival, the school has moved half a day in advance and the holiday starts at noon.
Every household is cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, and everyone has a smile on their face. The attitude is more lively than celebrating the Spring Festival outside.
When the sun sets, exuding the last ray of light between heaven and earth, the atmosphere in the village reaches its peak.
A grand bonfire was lit in a wide open space outside the village. The sheep were strung up and hung on the fire, emitting the sizzling aroma of meat. The villagers were in high spirits, singing and dancing around the bonfire.
The indigenous people all wear national costumes, so the outsiders like the inspection team are very conspicuous, but the simple and kind-hearted villagers accepted them very enthusiastically.
“Jiang, that is the owner of the village, she is such an elegant lady.”
Under Thomas Felson’s prompt, Jiang Chen saw it in the light of the crowd’s fire. An old man with white hair and flowers, his demeanor that transcends skin is fascinating.
Pei Yunxi did not sit with them. She and Ning Hui sat next to the teacher Lu Songgao.
In the past two days, the two actresses lowered their status and took the initiative to teach in the school, and gradually became familiar with the teacher.
“After the movie is released, I will definitely take the children to the city to see it.”
“When the time comes, let them write a review of several hundred words.”
Ning Hui said playfully.
A few people laughed.
"Mr. Lu, do you plan to stay in the village forever?"
Pei Yunxi asked lightly.
"Well, I'm not leaving."
Lu Songgao nodded without thinking, with a soft smile on his dark face reflected in the bonfire.
“These children are lucky to meet people like Mr. Lu.”
Ning Hui looked at the children playing and playing, some of them were holding barbecues in their hands and their mouths were full of oil.
To celebrate the Lunar Festival, almost the entire village was mobilized.
“I think I am the lucky one.”
Lu Song raised the bowl and took a sip of the refreshing Luna Wine, “If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet I will never hear you call me sir."
Pei Yunxi and Ning Hui were startled, and then chuckled in unison.
Although this teacher does not look elegant, he is filled with a kind of character that can only be seen in books.
"Do you two know the customs of the Lunar Festival?"
Lu Song asked with a smile.
Ning Hui shook his head.
"Moon God's Day, as the name suggests, is the day when the moon god gives blessings, so everyone has to go out of the house. However, it is different from the Spring Festival of our Han people. On this day, the villagers express their love. On this day, if you like someone in your heart, you will invite them to dance on this day. If they agree, it means they have accepted your love. Under the witness of the moon god, you two will stay together forever. "
"It's so romantic."
Ning Hui sighed.
Lu Songgao turned his head and said with a smile: "So, if someone invites you to dance later, don't agree easily. The people here are quite enthusiastic. Many of them fell in love at first sight during the Lunar Festival and then secretly "Definitely."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for the reminder."
Ning Hui said solemnly.
Pei Yunxi chuckled and glanced at the bright moonlight.
At this time, the mood is at this time, nothing happens to the little fairy.
She felt relaxed and happy, and then she glanced in a certain direction.
I saw someone completely integrated into this festival, eating meat and drinking wine with great interest.
“How about we go there?”
Ning Hui whispered.
“It’s nice here.”
Pei Yunxi looked back.
Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said.
"Mr. Lu, can I ask you to dance?"
Pei Yunxi and Ning Hui subconsciously looked up and saw a young and pretty Miao girl standing in front of Lu Songgao , without any shyness, staring at Lu Songgao without blinking, his eyes shining like stars in the sky.
Miao people have always been enthusiastic and unrestrained.
Lu Songgao smiled, showing white teeth that were in contrast to his skin color. He obviously knew the girl, and nodded without hesitation: "It's an honor."
The girl smiled brightly, Extend your palm.
Lu Songgao stood up and was led by the girl into the dancing crowd.
"It seems that he not only fell in love with the mountains here, not only fell in love with the water here, but also fell in love with the people here."
Ning Hui showed a blessing smile on his face.
Lu Songgao is definitely not the only one who has gained love tonight. By the bonfire, you can see many couples dancing sweetly.
“Can we dance together?”
Even Jiang Chen was invited.
This is a girl with braided pigtails and a felt hat on her head. Her wheat-like complexion is enough to show her brave character. She wears a few strings of bells on her wrists, which make clear and sweet sounds. .
No one came to remind Jiang Chen about the customs of the Lunar Festival. Only Thomas Felson continued to encourage, "Jiang, go quickly!"
Jiang Chen is a Polite people are members of the same clan, and guests do as they please. If someone invites you to dance, it is of course not appropriate to refuse.
So he stood up.
Ning Hui, who had been paying attention over there, took in everything, his expression became a little strange, and then he subconsciously glanced at Pei Yunxi next to him.
The other party looked calm and didn't seem to notice.
Jiang Chen is not good at dancing, but he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running. Moreover, Li Shurui is a serious dancer, so it is not difficult to dance a few times under his influence.
Anyway, it is just to add some atmosphere to the festival, and it is not a professional competition.
But what made him a little uncomfortable was that this Miao girl kept staring at him. Although she didn't speak, she seemed to be more enthusiastic than a bonfire, which made Jiang Chen unexpected. However, when the dance was over, the girl unexpectedly stood up on tiptoes, kissed him on the face, then turned around and ran away, leaving the sound of a string of bells in the air.
Jiang Chen froze on the spot, confused and confused.
Are you being taken advantage of?
The girl has already disappeared without a trace. In this kind of situation, you can't yell at someone, right?
So he could only walk back silently.
He has experienced the enthusiasm of the Miao people in the past few days, but he is not open to the point of kissing anyone he catches, right?
"Jiang, what's wrong? Dance, and your soul is gone?"
Thomas Felson laughed and said that the great director did not see what happened specifically.
Jiang Chen shook his head and sat down again, a little dumbfounded.
Maybe.
It’s just a festival etiquette of the Miao people.
