Training the Heavens

Chapter 114 Come to my house
Chen Hong took the script and read it for a while, then closed her eyes and imagined the scene described by Gao Jialin. When she opened her eyes again, she shook her head and looked at Gao Jialin pitifully. "I can understand what you said, but I can't feel it. Teacher Gao, am I too stupid?"

"Don't be anxious, take your time. You have just entered school and have not received any professional training. It is inevitable that you will find some effort. When you perform more plays in the future, you will know what to do." Gao Jialin comforted.

"But...but what should I do now? If I still can't understand, won't Director Shi want to replace me?" The girl was getting increasingly panicked. She knew this opportunity was rare. With so many freshmen in the grade, how many could get the role? If she missed this chance, there was no telling when the next one would be. Maybe she wouldn't have a similar opportunity until graduation.

"Look, you're anxious again. Don't be afraid of problems. Just analyze them slowly and then solve them. Let's break them down one by one and analyze them slowly. It should be okay to feel angry when you heard Zhong Yuemin's words at the beginning, right?" Gao Jialin continued to help analyze. He also wanted the movie to be shot earlier. Zhou Xiaobai was an important supporting role, and replacing him would definitely delay the shooting progress.

"Yeah, I can act this out well." Chen Hong nodded, feeling a little less nervous.

Gao Jialin was also having a headache. He understood "Young Friends Come to Meet", but he didn't know how to train the actors. He could only guess slowly, "Well, now the difficulty lies in the emotional changes when listening to the music and Zhong Yuemin's explanation of the music's artistic conception."

"Well, it's like this. I haven't heard these two pieces of music, so I can't understand the artistic conception of them." Chen Hong's eyes were full of innocence that had not been contaminated by Johann Strauss and Tchaikovsky.

Gao Jialin finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's probably the problem. It's easy to solve. I have these two records at home. If you listen to them a few times, you should be able to understand the emotional changes."

He had originally thought of sending the records and phonograph, but then he thought, what a great opportunity, how could he waste it? If the crew really needed it, it wouldn't be too late to send it later.

"Aren't you still studying?" Chen Hong didn't think much about it, but just felt strange. She knew that Gao Jialin was from northern Shaanxi and was currently a junior at Pujiang College. Logically, he should not have a home in Shanghai, right?

"I used my royalties to buy a house, and I stay there for a few days when I need to write. It's an old Western-style house from the Republic of China, so I imitated the original style and bought a phonograph and some records. Playing music while I write can really inspire me."

"If you're worried, you can call some close classmates to go with you. It's not far away, just across from Fudan Middle School. You'll just pass by it on your way back to school."

They are now at the Shanghai Film Studio, which is only four kilometers away from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Gao Jialin's house is right in the middle of the two places. It only takes about ten minutes to get there by bike. After listening to the music, Chen Hong only needs about ten minutes to ride back to the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Gao Jialin took out a pen and drew a route for her in his notebook. He was not in a hurry at all. It was indeed easy for a young girl to cause misunderstandings when she went to a young man's home alone. It didn't matter. He would just bring two more classmates with him. Once she got familiar with the place and adapted to the new environment, she might come alone.

"Oh, it's this place. I did pass by here when I came here these few days. The houses here are quite beautiful. I mentioned it when I was chatting with Sister Lili and the others." Chen Hong was embarrassed to say it. They were very envious when they were chatting, and they all speculated what kind of big shot lived here. They didn't expect that there was actually one sitting in front of them.

"Then ask her to come along. It's almost time. After listening to the music, we can have a meal and then go back to school at the same time." Gao Jialin had arranged everything for her.

"Will it disturb you?" Chen Hong hesitated. She really wanted to go and broaden her horizons, but she had only known Gao Jialin for a short time, so would she let him misunderstand her if she went to his house?
Just as Gao Jialin was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps and Gailili came over with her long legs. "Hello, Teacher Gao, Honghong, I've been looking for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be here. We are going back. Would you like to come with us?" "I..." Chen Hong hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind. "There's a part of the plot that I don't understand. Teacher Gao is explaining it to me. You two go back first. I'll go back after Teacher Gao explains it to me clearly."

"Oh, then we'll go first. Goodbye, Teacher Gao." Gai Lili didn't have any doubts. It was very close to the school from here, and there were busy roads along the way. It would be no problem for Chen Hong to go back alone.

She came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Soon a large group of people came out, picked up their bicycles at the parking lot, and went back to school talking and laughing, leaving only Gao Jialin and Chen Hong.

After another five minutes, feeling that they had walked far away, Chen Hong mustered up the courage to ask, "Teacher Gao, how about we go to your house now and listen to 'The Boat Song'?"

"Okay, let's go!" Gao Jialin patted his butt and stood up. He and Chen Hong took their bicycles and walked towards Tai'an Road one after the other.

Hey, you don’t want others to follow you. I underestimated this girl. She looks simple on the surface, but she has a lot of thoughts in her heart, right?
Come to think of it, she can not only find Sister Ni's girlfriend but also tie the poet up tightly. This is not something that can be achieved just by having a pretty face.

But it doesn't matter. If I could only live once, I would definitely find a girl with a simple mind and live a simple life. Now that I have such an opportunity, I have to experience all kinds of girls.

"Xiao Chen, what do you like to eat?" Gao Jialin asked while riding.

"Let me cook later. I learned to cook at home." Chen Hong's voice was a little nervous. This was her first time going to a boy's house alone.

"You're a guest, how can I let you do it? Do you like light or spicy food? Do you like Chinese food or Western food?"

"You can also cook Western food?" Chen Hong blurted out.

"Okay, then we'll have Western food. Listening to Strauss and Tchaikovsky is really a good match with Western food." Gao Jialin immediately understood that although this girl came from a well-off family, she had always lived in a county town in Jiangxi and probably had never eaten Western food.

The bicycle turned into Tai'an Road. Gao Jialin stopped by the roadside, picked up a public phone and spoke a few words. Then he and Chen Hong continued riding in. They entered the residential area, turned left and right, and finally stopped in a garden full of flowers. "Okay, we're here!"

Looking back, Chen Hong was already stunned.
