Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 3 Sweet Sister
On the evening of February 2th, in the banquet hall on the third floor of Chang'an Jinhua Hotel.

There was a lot of noise and chatter, creating a lively scene.

Wu Yijian, the boss of Jinhua Group, hosted a New Year's Eve dinner here.

Those attending the banquet were the wealthy and official leaders of Chang'an City, as well as their children.

Zheng Jing also came with his parents to join in the fun.

The main reason is that I've been staying at home these days and felt a bit bored, so I went out to socialize and relax.

Entering the banquet hall, Zheng Xingguo went to socialize alone.

Zheng Jing was just about to get some food when he heard a clear shout.

"Brother Jing!" A beautiful girl ran up to Zheng Jing and asked with a smile, "Why haven't I seen you go out to play these few days?"

The girl has a round face, big, bright eyes with slightly upturned corners, and she exudes a rich and sweet temperament.

Her skin is pink and fair, which creates a color difference from other people's skin. Even though she is still young, she already has a dazzling radiance.

You can tell at first glance that she is a beauty.

It was the twelve-year-old beautiful and charming girl—Jing Tian.

Zheng Jing's mother, Jing Yuxiu, and Jing Tian's father, Jing Yang, are both from the Jing clan in Baishui County.

According to the generation in the family tree, Jing Yuxiu is one generation older than Jing Yang.

Jing Yuxiu and Jing Yang have always had a good relationship.

After graduation, both of them stayed on as teachers in the school and developed in Chang'an. The two families often visited each other.

Jing Yuxiu also helped Jing Yang when he was applying for the title of professor at the University of Electronic Science and Technology two years ago.

So Jing Tian and Zheng Jing have a good relationship.

Before Zheng Jing could say anything, his mother Jing Yuxiu touched Jing Tian's head and explained, "Your brother Jing is preparing for the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam and has been practicing recitation at home these days."

Since the career options on the player panel were limited to actors, Zheng Jing naturally chose to apply to film school.

He has no artistic talent and it is difficult for him to pass the Central Academy of Drama's art examination.

Relatively speaking, Nortel is easier.

After all, the examiners of Beijing Film Academy, especially Teacher Cui Xinqin, are famous for "judging people by their appearance".

After obtaining Lao Ai's "evil charm" talent, Zheng Jing thought he had a great advantage in this area.

These days, Zheng Jing not only practiced recitation and other art exam items at home, but also did some test papers.

He is now in the second semester of his senior year in high school and has to take the college entrance examination. Fortunately, he is studying liberal arts.

If you memorize some knowledge and work a little hard, you can probably get around 300 points.

It becomes more difficult to go further up.

After all, I haven't studied for many years, and all the knowledge has long been returned to the teacher.

This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Jing chose to apply for Beijing Film Academy.

Hearing Jing Yuxiu's words, Jing Tian was very surprised and said, "That's great!
I am going to study at the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy, and in a few days I will also go to Yenching University to take the art exam.

We'll be together then!
You get into Beijing Film Academy, and I'll go to Beijing Dance Academy. Then I'll have friends in Yanjing!"

Zheng Jing joked: "That's hard to say. I haven't studied any art. What if I fail the exam?"

Jing Tian looked at Zheng Jing and said very straightforwardly: "Brother Jing, you will definitely pass the exam."

"why?"

"People say that girls change a lot when they grow up, and this also applies to men." Jing Tian said, "Brother Jing, you are getting more and more handsome. With your appearance, you can stand on the stage and say a few words. As long as the examiner is not blind, you will definitely pass the art exam."

Zheng Jing gave Jing Tian a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Sister Tian Tian is still a good judge of taste."

Seeing Jing Tian's smug look, everyone laughed.

Seeing Jing Tian chatting happily with Zheng Jing, Jing Tian's mother Du Wei had an idea and said, "A few days ago, Wu Yijian came to our house to pay New Year's greetings. He seemed to say that his Jinhua Film and Television invested in a TV series called "The Hero of Troubled Times, Lü Buwei".

Jingbao, if you want to be an actor, would you like to play a role in this drama?

Anyway, you can experience it first.”

After hearing Du Wei's words, Zheng Jing's heart moved, and he knew that this was the "performance opportunity" for the role card.

Lu Buwei, the hero in troubled times, later became known as the "Legend of Lu Buwei".

This TV series, starring Zhang Tieling and Ning Jing, has a high viewership rating.

Gao Yalin played the role of Lao Ai in "A Piece of Red Cloth" in this drama.

The scale of this drama is very large, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the TV drama with the most sex scenes in China.

What’s even more outrageous is that the 29-episode version that the audience saw had already been edited down after being censored.

Wu Yijian's Jinhua Group, which mainly engages in real estate and hotel businesses, wants to acquire land for investment in the Hi-Tech Zone.

Jing Tian's father Jing Yang is working in the Hi-Tech Zone, and his words are still very effective.

Zheng Jing said, "I really want to experience and learn from the crew. Can you please say hello to them for me, Sister Wei?"

Du Wei blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "What sister Wei? You are so disrespectful. Call me Aunt Wei."

Du Wei also found it strange. In the past, she only treated Zheng Jing as a handsome junior.

But when I saw Zheng Jing today, I felt that there was an inexplicable attraction to him that made me want to get close to him and explore him.

"What role do you want to play?" Du Wei adjusted her mood and said, "Forget it, come with me to meet Wu Yijian later and we can talk in person."

Things went smoothly. Wu Yijian was also familiar with Zheng Xingguo, and with Jing Yang's help, he called Wu Xiaogeng, the head of Jinhua Film and Television, on the spot.

"Xiao Zheng, the drama "Lü Buwei, the Hero in Troubled Times" was also invested by Chang'an TV Station and Zejiang Film Studio, so it's not just my opinion.

I can only assure you that there is absolutely no problem for you to play a supporting role.

But the specific role still needs to be decided by the director after comprehensive consideration."

Wu Yijian said bluntly: "Exchange contact information with Xiao Geng and find a time to meet with Director Zhou Xiaowen."

"I know the rules of the crew. Thanks for your help, Uncle Wu!"

In the Chinese film and television industry in 2000, the status of directors was relatively high.

Especially well-known directors like Zhou Xiaowen.

The investor's requirements are usually clearly stated in the contract or before the investment.

During the specific production process of a TV series, investors no longer interfere, and the director or producer basically has the final say.

Of course, directors and producers will generally give face to investors.

Zheng Jing was able to get the recommendation of Jinhua Film and Television, which means he is considered a financial sponsor, so it is no problem for him to play a supporting role.

But playing the role of Lao Ai, who has a very important role, is not a sure thing.

The main reason is that he is too young and too handsome.

In the TV series "The Legend of Lu Buwei", in order to highlight the positive images of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, as well as their bloody love that did not exist at all, Lao Ai was forcibly portrayed as an ugly scoundrel.

Lao Ai slept with Zhao Ji, and he actually used such an outrageous method as using strong alkali.

This shows that Zhao Ji was forced into a desperate situation.

In Zhou Xiaowen's script, Zheng Jing could not play the role of Lao Ai at all, and at most he could play the adult Ying Zheng.

Zheng Jing was not in a hurry about this situation, as he had already gained a lot today.

Things have to be done step by step.

After chatting with Wu Yijian for a few more sentences and seeing that he had other social engagements, Zheng Jing took the initiative to leave.

Zheng Xingguo was very happy and proud to see Zheng Jing handle this social situation well, so he took him to meet a group of people.

Du Wei asked Jing Yuxiu, "Jingbao is going to study in Yanjing. Are you worried about him being alone?"

Jing Yuxiu sighed and said, "Of course I'm worried."

Zheng Jing's nickname is Jingbao. All relatives and friends know that Zheng Xingguo and Jing Yuxiu dote on their son and never hide their love for him.

Du Wei heard the answer she wanted and said with a smile: "I am also worried about Tiantian going to Yanjing.

I have been transferred to another job and I don’t know when I will be able to get the job.

How about letting Yunling go to Yanjing to take care of Jingbao and Tiantian?"

The Chinese people's fate is quite thorough, and most people have no concept of hierarchy in their bones.

We are all equal.

This leads to the situation that what wealthy families in China are most in need of is a trustworthy and good nanny.

Chen Yunling is Zheng Xingguo's distant cousin and has been in the Zheng family for almost 10 years. Du Wei is envious of such a trustworthy family member.

When she heard that Zheng Jing was going to study in Yanjing, the first person she thought of was Chen Yunling.

By letting Chen Yunling go to Yanjing to take care of Zheng Jing and Jing Tian, Du Wei can still keep her job and will be much more relaxed in her daily life.

This is also one of the reasons why she was very active in introducing the roles in the crew to Zheng Jing.

Jing Yuxiu knew Du Wei's thoughts very well, and she said, "I also want Yunling to take care of Jingbao.

But there are two difficulties.”

"What's the difficulty?"

"Yun Ling has a daughter who is studying. She took the high school entrance exam this year and did very well. She went to Yanjing and there is no one to take care of the little girl. Yun Ling must be worried."

"That's easy. Jingbao and Tiantian are going to Yanjing to study, so we will definitely buy a house there and then move Yunling's household registration to Yanjing.

It would definitely be better for her daughter to study and develop in Yanjing than in Chang'an, Yunling would definitely agree."

The policy of obtaining household registration in Yanjing by buying a house was only stopped in 2003. The current policy is that one can obtain household registration by purchasing a house of more than 80 square meters.

Jing Yuxiu looked at Du Wei who was determined to win, and said with a smile: "We still have to consider Jing Bao's opinion on this matter. If he wants freedom and doesn't want Yun Ling to follow him, we can't force him."

Du Wei looked at Zheng Jing who was chatting with someone on the other side of the hall. He was tall and handsome, with an upright figure, and already had the demeanor of a mature man.

She said: "This is easy, as long as Yunling is willing to go.

This is beneficial to Yunling and her daughter.

Jingbao will definitely agree for Yunling."

Jing Yuxiu sighed and said, "You are trying to poach our nanny in a roundabout way."

“I’m doing this so that Jingbao can have someone to take care of him. Besides, it won’t be long before I’ll be transferred to work in Yanjing, and I can take care of Jingbao as well.

It’s a win-win situation.”

"Then I'll leave my son in your care. Shouldn't I thank you?"

"Haha, what are you thanking me for? We are all family, there is no difference between us!"

Jing Yuxiu: “…”
