Chapter 6 New Drama
Father Chen returned home two weeks later.
At this time, the final exams were over, and both Chen Linfeng and Shi Xiaolong were on summer vacation.
Two children were playing in the room, and Chen’s father and mother were chatting in the living room.
"Old Chen, are you not going out this year?" Mother Chen wanted to knit scarves for her two children, and her hands didn't stop while she was talking.
Chen Shantong scratched his head in embarrassment, "There is something else to do next."
Seeing his wife's face darken, he quickly explained, "It's business, business."
Mother Chen held up her hand. After a pause, he let out a "hum".
"You run out every day. In previous years, you could be said to be taking Xiaolong with you. This year, Xiaolong didn't film any movies. You still go out and run around without being home at all. Xiaofeng has written and published several articles recently, and you don't even know it. . ”
“Really? Our old Chen family has been practicing martial arts for generations, how come we still have a cultural background?”
Although his son's academic performance has been excellent since childhood, he never expected to be able to publish articles. Chen's father found it extremely strange.
The boy in the Chen family has always been a rough guy. He only likes to practice boxing and kicking, and is not good at studying. He suddenly doesn't adapt to the sudden arrival of someone with both civil and military skills.
Wang Yanping told Chen’s father what happened.
She said earnestly, "Xiaolong and Xiaofeng are both trying their best. If you don't keep a close watch at home to prevent them from going astray, why are you running outside every day?"
Chen's father committed a crime. When faced with a problem, he said, "When I'm done with my work, I'll listen to you and just stay at home, okay?"
Seeing that nothing made sense, Wang Yanping got really angry and stopped knitting her scarf. She threw the things on the coffee table and sat on the sofa to get angry.
Shi Xiaolong and Chen Linfeng heard the commotion and walked out of the room. They saw their parents looking strange, one with a straight face and the other with a frown. The atmosphere was quite unpleasant.
Shi Xiaolong was frightened into silence by the solemn atmosphere. He had seen his parents quarreling several times since he was a child. The noise frightened him so much that it still affects him to this day.
Chen Linfeng stepped forward and took his mother's hand, "What's going on? Mom, don't be angry."
Then he said to Chen's father, "Dad, you messed with my mother just after you came back. Angry.”
Chen Shantong gave his son a thumbs up in his heart. This was a good round.
He quickly explained, "When I go out this time, I am no longer just running around. I really have a serious career to do, and it is also related to the future path of the children."
Wang Yanqiu gave face to her son, leaned on the sofa, folded her arms, "Okay, I'll just listen to what you say, how serious it is."
"In the past few years, I have been traveling to Hong Kong, and I have met this friend. There is a man named Cao Rong. He is an actor and has also worked as an action director. He recently hired a screenwriter to prepare a script for a TV series.
Cao Rong has never been a director before. This is the first time and there are not enough people. , so he asked me to raise money to work with him. I just want to be busy with this.”
"Is what you are saying reliable? A lot of money in the family is earned by these two boys. Don't give it all to Huo Huo." Mother Chen's expression remained unchanged, "Besides, if you get involved in this matter, What does it have to do with the two children?"
Father Chen whispered, "Both children are in the industry. If I can get into the industry through this drama, I can help them in the future."< br>
Wang Yanping said nothing. She had no problem with it paving the way for the children, but she was not sure whether it was reliable or not.
The living room became quiet for a while.
Chen Linfeng took the initiative to take over the conversation, "This Cao Rong is the action director of the sequel to Journey to the West as mentioned in the newspaper, right? I heard that he also played a role in it."
Chen Linfeng has actually already guessed which drama his father will be participating in.
It should be the ancestor of ghost beasts. "It's him who has a good memory, waiter," Chen Shantong continued to introduce the details of the matter to his wife.
"The screenwriter Cao Rong was looking for was named Qian. I asked a friend to find out. He is also a professional. He has worked as an actor, director, and screenwriter, and he has done well."
"Then why did Director Cao come to you? You are inexperienced. What does he want from you? Isn't it just for your money?"
"It's not just about letting me invest." Chen Shan Tong Lian was a little embarrassed and couldn't let his wife look down on him so much.
"He asked me to be the assistant director to help find suitable actors. As for the Shaolin Martial Arts School, as you know, I can also help recruit a large number of extras with martial arts background. How can I He only cares about my money."
"It turns out that he is interested in this." Wang Yanping had some confidence. She found her husband for no reason and made people feel uneasy. She had something to contribute. Like something.
“The most important thing is that this drama is about filming the story behind Journey to the West. Sun Wukong is the absolute protagonist. Cao Rong is now on the crew of the sequel of Journey to the West. He and Zhang Lingtong have a good relationship. I feel good about being able to bring this person here to act in this play."
Chen Linfeng was a little surprised when he heard the whole story.
This dad is quite capable of getting around. In Hong Kong, mainlanders look askance at him. In this era, he can squeeze in and form a game with others. Even if he has exclusive resources, the ability of this relationship cannot be underestimated.
It’s just that Zhang Lingtong didn’t participate in the show in his previous life. It was Cao Rong himself. Didn’t something go wrong in the middle? Or is it my own butterfly effect?
After hearing these words, Mother Chen felt that it was not impossible, especially with Zhang Lingtong joining the team, which made her feel that she had a high chance of success.
She no longer objected and asked with concern, "Has this matter been completely finalized?"
"We are still recruiting people in the early stage, and we have just found a screenwriter to prepare the script. Take it. After that, we have to attract investment and form a team, which is not easy.”
Now that the atmosphere has completely calmed down, Father Chen expressed his innermost thoughts,
"I have been accompanying Xiaolong all these years. I have nothing to do, and my own career has been abandoned, but people always have something. Let's do something.
I joined this bureau just to learn the ropes. If this drama is successful, it will be considered as an official entry into the industry.
Next, it's established. This company, together with the guys from the martial arts school, can also participate in the investment of other martial arts dramas.
Now that martial arts movies are popular, if we develop in this direction, we won’t have to worry about having no money.”
Wang Yanping listened quietly to her husband's considerations about the future.
“Furthermore, if I can accumulate more experience, when these two boys grow up, I can also make TV series for them.
Everyone said that this child star will not be good when he grows up. To develop, I have to find a way for them to come out.
I have been thinking about this for a long time. Even if it is not this one, it may be another drama.
Xiao Feng is not only studying now. I have good grades and can write articles, which is an unexpected blessing, but I can always be a guarantee if I get out on my own.”
What he said was sincere and heartfelt, and it was obvious that he had been holding it in his heart for a long time.
Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans. Chen Linfeng sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that his father, who usually doesn't show off his integrity, would consider it so deeply.
The child Shi Xiaolong had no feelings at all and was only happy that his parents no longer quarreled.
He said cheerfully, "Dad, Xiaofeng also said that the transformation of child stars is not easy, so let me study hard and take the film school entrance examination."
"Yes, you must be able to study hard , I really thank God.”
For a time, the family was happy and happy, and the cheerful atmosphere of the past was completely restored.
