The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen sat down on the flower bed and saw Xiao Wu coming from the small door in front. Zhang Chen shouted, "Xiao Wu, give me a cigarette."

Xiao Wu came over, took out the cigarettes, and said to Zhang Chen, "The cigarettes are gone? I'll give them all to you."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said that one stick would be enough.

Xiao Wu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, handed it to Zhang Chen, took out a lighter, and lit it for him.

Xiao Wu said, "I'm sending a box of clothes over. Ge Ling and the others are setting up the sample room of the Genshan Power Plant Garment Factory."

Zhang Chen said yes, and Xiao Wu walked away. Zhang Chen sat there and continued to smoke. Before he finished smoking, Wenwen's call came back, and Zhang Chen quickly asked:

"How about it?"

"I called Nan Nan's teacher. The teacher didn't know what was going on. He had just received Nan Nan's withdrawal application and asked a classmate to pass it on. He was also wondering and wanted to call me, so he asked his classmate. My classmates didn’t know what was going on, but they knew that Nannan was going back to Hangzhou today and said she would not go back to school again,” Wenwen said.

Zhang Chen said I understand.

"Why don't you say anything? Such a big thing would happen." Wenwen said.

"I haven't understood it clearly yet." Zhang Chen said, he thought about it and asked: "Wenwen, if Xiangnan goes back to school again, is it okay?"

"Of course." Wenwen said, "There is no formal withdrawal procedure. I have asked her teacher to hold Nannan's withdrawal application and not hand it in."

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. This way there is still room for things to change. I was worried that the little girl was impulsive. By the way, Wenwen, has Xiang Nan encountered any trouble recently?"

"I'll go, it won't have anything to do with that." Wenwen thought of it and cursed.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Chen asked.

Wenwen told Zhang Chen about meeting Boss Chen a few days ago. Wenwen said, but she didn't eat enough that day. Nannan and I had a late-night snack together, and she seemed to have recovered. I also felt that I was embarrassed to leave her alone in the box at that club.

Nannan in turn comforted me and said, it's okay, it's okay. Don't blame me for this. If you do, blame the gangster named Chen. I'm either her nanny or the nanny. She's already so old, so there's no need for me to be with her all the time. Around me, it was not a big deal for everyone to have a meal together.

Nannan also told me that she also knew that there were many such things. Many of her classmates had encountered it, and some of them liked it very much. So they were complacent and showed off when they returned to the dormitory, thinking that they had gotten rich and would be better off in the future. She has a supporter, but she hates this kind of thing. That day, when I sent her back to school, when we broke up, she was still fine.

"No, I will come to Hangzhou tomorrow. I must figure this out." Wenwen said.

Zhang Chen originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he decided to say yes. He felt that Xiang Nan might just be angry for a moment. After two days, he figured it out and it might be fine again. If she really wants to go back to school, Wenwen still needs to contact her teacher. , Wenwen is here, and it is more convenient to clarify many things.

After hanging up Wenwen's phone, Zhang Chen walked back to the office. When Xiang Nan saw him coming in, he asked:

"Uncle, are you going to call Wenwen or my mother?"

Zhang Chen laughed and said, of course it's Wenwen. How dare I call your mother before the matter is clarified? Your mother's self-propelled gun will be here in five minutes after receiving the call, and then here, just Thunder rolled.

Xiang Nan laughed and said, "Well, I want to come back, but I don't dare to tell Aunt Wenwen. If she knows, she will definitely pull me and won't let me come back. She might not even go to school." He will let me go back and keep an eye on me twenty-four hours a day.”

Zhang Chen said yes, she will do this, but don't think you can get rid of her, she will come tomorrow.

"What's she doing here?" Xiang Nan called.

"What do you think." Zhang Chen said, "This is a big deal to everyone, but you don't take it seriously."

Xiang Nan listened and stopped saying anything.

"Also, Wenwen asked your teacher to withhold your withdrawal application form. If you didn't hand it in, your withdrawal application has not yet taken effect. If you rest at home for a few days and still want to go back to school, that's fine." Zhang Chenhe Said Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan shook his head: "No, I won't go back."

"By the way, Xiang Nan, does your decision have something to do with what you encountered a few days ago?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Aunt Wenwen told you about the Xiaoshan people?" Xiang Nan asked.

Zhang Chen was right, she remembered, if anything irritated you, it was only this one.

Xiang Nan shook his head: "It doesn't matter much. If it does matter, it was just the last straw that made me decide to drop out of school. It let me know that if I continue to walk on this path in the future, I will often Encountering such things and encountering such people.”

"No." Zhang Chen said, "In the future, your mother can invest in your movies, and so can your uncle. We won't let you meet such a person again."

Xiang Nan smiled and said:

"To be precise, it's just that we won't meet such investors. What about directors? Where about photographers? Even big-name film critics, and where about exhibitors? There are too many people who can bully us actresses. "

Zhang Chen was confused and asked: "These people you mentioned, can they bully you?"

"What do you think."

Xiang Nan said: "Photography can always make you look ugly, or the angles chosen are deliberately dissatisfying to the director. They will start over again one by one and beat you to death. Those great film critics, no matter how you look at them, they will No matter how hard you work, people will try to trick you and make your efforts go to waste. There are too many of them. Actors like us who are not very famous yet have to be flattered by everyone.

"Before I went to film school, I didn't have a deep understanding of this industry. Like everyone else, I thought of filmmaking as very simple. Only when I was really involved in this industry did I realize how dirty it is. And we, the actresses, and others They thought we were very beautiful, but we didn’t know that we were just the weakest party.

"But that's it. In order to survive and to get ahead, everyone still flocks to them. They are surrounded by flies chasing stinky things. It's impossible for you not to become that piece of stinky meat. Some of my classmates are just moving forward step by step. , I went back to the dormitory to cry when I felt wronged. After crying, I still had to do this.

"I can only comfort myself by saying that this is the sacrifice I have to make in order to stand out in the future and to get rid of such a weak position. Uncle, after understanding this, do you know how I feel?"

Zhang Chen shook his head.

"All my beautiful imaginations about movies were shattered." Xiang Nan said with a bitter smile, "What you see in the cinema is always the most glamorous side of this industry, and behind the scenes... forget it, I even mentioned it I don’t even want to mention it more.”

"Xiang Nan, are you not even interested in performing now?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Interested." Xiang Nan said, "Uncle, please don't think that I dropped out of school impulsively. I have already thought about what I want to do in the future."

"Oh, what do you want to do in the future?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I want to go to my father's place, and I want to act with the troupe." Xiangnan said.

Zhang Chen was startled for a moment. He remembered the Xiangnan he saw when he was in Sanya. That Xiangnan was indeed very different from the Xiangnan he saw now. It was the sunny Xiangnan.

"I like to face the audience directly and watch their reactions on the spot. I can't do this in movies or TV. In addition to being disgusted, I also feel very unsatisfied." Xiang Nan said, "It's not as enjoyable as acting. .”

"Xiang Nan, have you ever thought about it? Your understanding of the troupe is only scratching the surface now." Zhang Chen said, "The troupe is not as good as you imagined. The troupe is still very hard. Otherwise, uncle, your mother, and... With Uncle Xiao Wu, we will never leave the troupe."

"I'm not afraid of hardship, uncle, as long as I can face the audience directly, act for them, and listen to their applause and cheers." Xiang Nan said and laughed, "You are talking about hardship, isn't it? Is the salary lower? What’s the point? Even if there is no salary, my mother still doesn’t support me? If she doesn’t support me, my grandparents and grandparents won’t do it, and uncle, you won’t do it either.”

Zhang Chen laughed when Xiang Nan said it. Thinking about it, in addition to low wages and poor treatment, what difficulties would the troupe have? And would Xiang Nan care about that salary?

Zhang Chen thought seriously. He felt that what Xiang Nan said was reasonable. There would be nothing wrong with her going to the troupe. Isn't there Feng Laogui in the troupe? There is nothing to worry about. Besides, the troupe is not After restructuring, it is equivalent to becoming our own company. If Xiangnan joins the theater troupe, he might be able to become the owner in the future, which can make up for Feng Laogui's shortcomings.

Especially now, isn't it true that the troupe is lacking people like Xiang Nan?

Zhang Chen said yes, "Xiang Nan, then I'll call your mother. When she comes over, you can tell her your thoughts. Should you go back to the film school to continue studying, or go to a theater troupe? Let's not draw conclusions now. Can we make a decision after we discuss it?"

"But my mother will definitely not agree to me joining the theater troupe. She will definitely want me to go back to Beijing." Xiang Nan became anxious.

"Xiang Nan, if you really hate going to film school again, then tell her exactly why you hate it. Don't exaggerate or hide it. You have to believe that you are your mother's baby and she won't She makes you do things you hate, and all the decisions she makes are for your own good."

As Zhang Chen spoke, Xiang Nan sighed and said, "Uncle, you won't force me. My mother is hard to say."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "What should we do? You can't just go to school and go to your father's place, and then all of us can hide it from your mother, right?"

"Yes, yes, it would be best if this were the case." Xiang Nan shouted, then sighed and said, "I also know that this is impossible, okay, uncle, you call her and you want to kill her or cut her into pieces." , she’s here.”

Zhang Chen smiled and shook his head. He dialed Tan Shuzhen's number and said to her: "Tan Shuzhen, come to my place right away."

"I'm not free. If you have something to do, we'll talk about it after get off work."

"Xiang Nan is here with me."

"Who? Zhang Chen, who are you talking about?"

"Xiangnan, your daughter Xiangnan." Zhang Chen said.

"Why is she back? You asked her to answer the phone." Tan Shuzhen said.

Zhang Chen handed the phone to Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan opened his eyes wide, shook his head in horror, and ran away.

"She didn't answer. She wanted to wait for you to come over and discuss something with you." Zhang Chen said.

"Really or not, Zhang Chen, are you lying to me?" Tan Shuzhen asked suspiciously.

Zhang Chen scolded: "Tan Shuzhen, am I so boring that I would lie to you about such things?"

"Okay, I'll be right over."
