Chapter 126 Taking My Wife and Daughter to the Movies

Chapter 126 Taking My Wife and Daughter to the Movies (Please Subscribe!)
September 5th, today is Saturday.

Chen Fusheng's directorial debut film, "The Devotion of Suspect X," has completed post-production after half a month of editing work, as of 3 p.m. today.

Although tomorrow is Sunday, an internal screening of this film will be held at the Beijing Film Studio.

So when he got home, he also invited his wife and mother-in-law.

"Fusheng, you and Xiaoli go tomorrow. I'll stay home and help you take care of the baby." The mother-in-law was actually quite curious about her son-in-law's new movie, but considering that everyone was going, who would take care of the little one at home?
"It's okay, Mom, let's go together. We'll bring Qianqian along tomorrow too." How could Chen Fusheng forget his daughter?

"Sisi is only one year old. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to take her to the movies? What if she cries halfway through?" Liu Xiaoli expressed her concerns.

"Honey, you don't need to worry about this at all. I'll take care of the baby tomorrow. If she doesn't want to watch a movie, I'll just take her out for a walk. It won't bother anyone."

"Then you won't be able to watch it?"

After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she noticed her husband staring at her with loving eyes. She didn't immediately realize what was going on, but her mother-in-law, suppressing a laugh, reminded her, "Xiaoli, Fusheng is a director. Are you worried that he hasn't seen the movies?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli finally understood the look in her husband's eyes.

"Are you secretly calling me stupid?" she said irritably.

"No, no, honey, you're just overthinking it. Yes, that's right."

Liu Xiaoli didn't believe this man's nonsense.

But I also have some doubts about whether my IQ has dropped since I got pregnant?

……

Meanwhile, in the dormitory area of ​​Beijing Film Studio.

The news that Chen Fusheng's movie will have an internal screening tomorrow has already spread like wildfire within the studio.

Ge You is also a second-generation member of the Beijing Film Studio. His father, Ge Cunzhuang, was an actor at the studio, and his mother, Shi Wenxin, was an editor at the studio.

But his luck wasn't as good as Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Li Shaohong, who were also second-generation rich kids. When the Beijing Film Academy was recruiting students in 78, he was still working in the countryside in Xingshou Commune, Changping County. And because he was very thin, he was assigned to raise pigs.

Although the Beijing Film Academy did not recruit students in 79, the Central Academy of Drama and the Central Experimental Drama Academy next door were recruiting students as usual, so Ge ​​You took leave to come back and take the exam.

As a result, he didn't get into either of those schools.

He was accepted into the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe thanks to his performance in a skit called "Feeding Pigs".

He usually lives at his workplace, but on weekends he will come home to stay for a couple of days.

"Hey Mom and Dad, why are two of our puppies missing again?"

"This week, your Uncle Wen and Aunt Chunlan each took one away."

"Now there are only two puppies left. Can you please not give them away?"

"Why keep so many dogs at home? Aren't you going to feed them? Son, if you want to keep them, take them to your workplace and raise them yourself."

If his workplace allowed dogs, Ge You would have taken one there long ago.

So he had no temper at all when faced with his parents' "general" command.

He could only save face by changing the subject: "By the way, when I came up here just now, I ran into Uncle Li Shan and the others who seemed to be discussing the movie screening. Did you know that?"

"I know, they're showing Comrade Chen Fusheng's suspense film, 'The Devotion of Suspect X.' The factory director just informed us this afternoon that your dad and I are going to see it tomorrow."

"Then I'll go too."

"You can't go."

"..."

The next day, Chen Fusheng's family of four, along with his mother-in-law, had breakfast at home before setting off.

"Sisi, Daddy's taking you to the movies, are you happy?"

"Movie"

"Yes, it's a movie that Dad directed..."

Throughout the journey, Chen Fusheng talked to his daughter, either teaching her about new things or engaging in conversations like the one above.

It felt like I arrived at the Beijing Film Studio without even realizing it.

"Xiao Chen, you've finally arrived! The screening room is full, we're just missing you, the lead actor."

Chen Fusheng glanced at his watch and asked in confusion, "Old Factory Director, didn't we agree that the screening would start at 9:30? It's not time yet."

"It's not time yet, but everyone is so enthusiastic."

After speaking, Wang Yang glanced at the family members Chen Fusheng had brought and asked, "Little Chen, aren't you going to introduce them?"

"Oh right, this is my mother-in-law, surnamed Wang... my wife Liu Xiaoli, and the one in my arms is my daughter Chen Qian."

As they greeted each other at the door, several of Chen Fusheng's acquaintances also came out of the screening room.

"Principal Cheng, you're here too."

"Haha, I heard that your new movie is having a screening at the Beijing Film Studio today, so I brought my family here to see it for ourselves."

"welcome……"

Chen Fusheng then turned to director Chen Huaikai, who smiled and said, "Me too!"

Then turn to a round face...

Liu Xiaoqing originally intended to come out and confide in Chen Fusheng, since he had promised to consider her during the last "interview," but by then the movie had already been made, and she still hadn't received any news.

However, when she came out and saw Chen Fusheng holding an adorable little baby in his arms, with a beautiful and charming wife standing beside him, she couldn't bring herself to say what she was about to say.

The sentence was changed to: "Director Chen, do you remember me? I'm Liu Xiaoqing. I auditioned for your film crew two months ago."

"How could I not remember? But I'm sorry, Comrade Liu Xiaoqing, there isn't a suitable role for you in this play. We'll have to work together again next time."

"Then don't try to fool me, I'm waiting for your good news." "Haha, no way, no way..." Chen Fusheng chuckled, not expecting this woman to be so bold.

When the leaders of Beijing Film Studio saw this, they glared at Liu Xiaoqing and then quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Director Chen, let's not stand here chatting anymore. Everyone's getting impatient. If there's nothing else, shall we start the screening?"

"That's good, that's good!"

Chen Fusheng nodded and followed everyone into the screening room.

The room was indeed full, and the Beijing Film Studio even arranged for their actors to be introduced to Chen Fusheng.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli, with great tact, stepped forward and took her daughter from her husband's arms.

"Director Chen, this is Li Xiuming, an actor from our factory."

"This is Zhang Jinling... Zhang Liwei..."

"Cai Ming is 20 years old this year. She joined our Beijing Film Studio in 76 and was the youngest actress at the time. No, it seems... she still is now, right?"

“Ge Cunzhuang is a veteran actor. His wife is Shi Wenxin, a screenwriter at the factory.”

"..."

After the introductions, the old factory director stood up again and said, "Young Chen, these are all good actors. If you need actors for your future productions, just come to our Beijing Film Studio and we guarantee you can find all kinds of actors."

"Okay okay."

This time, Chen Fusheng wasn't just going through the motions. After agreeing to the old factory director's request, he went back and looked at all the actors who had just been introduced.

Although it can only be an impression, who knows, when he's casting actors in the future, he might be able to recall them based on this impression today?
After the introductions and getting acquainted with everyone, it was basically time for the scheduled screening. So, everyone took their seats and, as the lights in the screening room went out, the images quickly appeared on the large screen in front of them.

Film: The Devotion of Suspect X

Director: Chen Fusheng
Screenwriter: Chen Fusheng
Assistant Directors: Li Xiaowan, Zhang Zeyu
Leading actors: Zhang Guorong, Gong Xue

Starring: Chen Fusheng, Zhang Fengyi, Fu Mingxian, Zhu Lin

……

The film begins in a heartwarming way, with Shi Hongzhe teaching math to elementary school students, including Lingling, and Lingling sharing her perfect score test with her mother after school... until a man reeking of alcohol appears on screen, and the film suddenly shifts from a warm tone to a colder and darker style.

At this moment, Chen Fusheng looked down at his daughter, who was also staring intently at the big screen in his arms, and turned to his wife beside him and whispered, "The later episodes aren't suitable for the baby to watch, so I'll take her out for a walk first. I'll come back when it's almost over."

"it is good."

Chen Fusheng then greeted the old factory director again before leaving the screening room with his daughter in his arms.

"Mmmmmmm..."

The little one didn't seem to want to leave yet, squirming and twisting in his father's arms.

"Okay, okay, we'll be back in a bit, alright?"

Chen Fusheng naturally didn't let her have her way and carried her out anyway.

Babies' emotions come and go quickly.

Their attention was quickly diverted by the scenery outside.

"Come on, daughter, let's go downstairs for a walk."

However, as soon as Chen Fusheng carried his daughter downstairs, he startled the two little puppies.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

However, the owners of the two dogs apologized first, saying, "I'm so sorry, I didn't scare you, did I?"

"No." Chen Fusheng shook his head, then looked around. Although he didn't see the big dog, he still asked worriedly, "Isn't the mother dog nearby?"

"Don't worry, the mother dog is locked up at home. I only brought these two puppies out..."

As he said this, Ge You recognized Chen Fusheng and asked with some excitement, "Are you Director Chen Fusheng?"

"it's me."

Chen Fusheng actually recognized Ge You as well, but since Ge You hadn't introduced him yet, he pretended not to know him. Instead, seeing that his daughter in his arms was staring at the two puppies, he started talking to Ge You about his dogs.

"Is that a country dog?"

"Oh, Director Chen, you have a discerning eye."

"My family also kept one when I was a child." Chen Fusheng wasn't lying. In his previous life, his family did indeed keep a Chinese rural dog when he was a child. Of course, it was called a "local dog" in the area.

They had raised that stray dog ​​for quite a while. Later, it got old and ran off to the back of their house and died under a tea tree. At first, they thought the dog had been beaten and eaten by someone and searched for it for a long time. A month later, they finally found it by chance under the tea tree.

All that was left was a pile of bones and hair.

Chen Fusheng still remembers that his family buried it under that tea tree.

But he was still young then, probably only twelve or thirteen years old. Many of the memories of him and that mongrel dog were already blurry. However, after he transmigrated, his memory improved, and he could recall many of his blurry memories from his previous life with just a little thought.

Right now, it includes some childhood memories with that mongrel dog.

At the same time, he also suddenly had a flash of inspiration for his next novel...
