No. 16 Siji Hutong Courtyard

"Cousin-in-law!"

"Director Chen!"

"father!"

"came back!"

"Well, I'm back."

Upon returning home, Chen Fusheng first nodded to his wife, then hugged his excited daughter in his arms before having time to respond to the others.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaoli explained from the side, "Wenqiong went to the Beijing Film Academy for the entrance exam today. You haven't come back yet, and it's inconvenient for me, so I asked Zhulin to take her there for us."

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhulin."

"No, no, it's only right. I also consider Wenqiong my younger sister."

After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, Chen Fusheng also sat down.

"Brother-in-law, here's your food."

"Thank you."

Chen Fusheng then asked, "Wenqiong, how did you feel about your art exam today?"

"I feel okay."

"That's good. You only took the entrance exam for the Beijing Film Academy today, right?"

"Yes, the Central Academy of Drama is tomorrow."

"Have you applied to the Central Academy of Drama?"

"Brother-in-law, didn't you tell me to sign up for everything?"

"You've already reported it, right? Okay, then I'll have the driver take you tomorrow. I won't go with you. A leader is coming down to inspect the day after tomorrow, and I can't leave here."

"No need, no need. Sister Zhulin will take me there tomorrow. Brother-in-law, you can go about your business. There's no need to trouble the driver."

Chen Fusheng looked at Zhu Lin, who nodded in agreement.

He asked curiously, "Don't you have to go to work?"

“I also did odd jobs on set,” Zhu Lin explained.

"So, Director Yang Jie hasn't arranged for you to act yet?"

"No, my show is still a long way off."

Liu Xiaoli noticed that after her husband finished asking the question, his gaze remained fixed on Zhu Lin, which made her frown and warn him:
"What are you looking at?"

"Oh~"

Chen Fusheng was indeed looking at Zhu Lin, but not in a romantic way. He felt that Zhu Lin's temperament seemed suitable for the female lead in "Die Hard".

Because the female lead in "Die Hard" is a strong woman, Gong Xue, a woman from Jiangnan, couldn't play the role, but Zhu Lin was just right, after all, she was someone who could even control His Majesty the King.

Looking away, realizing his wife had misunderstood, Chen Fusheng quickly said:

"I just realized that Zhu Lin's temperament and image might be suitable for the lead role in 'Die Hard'."

After hearing this explanation, the doubt in Liu Xiaoli's eyes faded, and she said that her husband was not that kind of person.

Then he turned his gaze to Zhu Lin, who herself showed a shocked and nervous expression.

"Director Chen... is it true?"

"Okay, I'll contact you for an audition, but I can't guarantee I'll cast you."

"Okay, okay, thank you Director Chen, and thank you Xiao Li too."

Liu Xiaoli said, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't help you at all."

"How could I not help? If you hadn't invited me to your home for dinner, would Director Chen have seen me?"

Chen Qian didn't understand the adults' happiness, but she was already full. She looked up at her father, who was still feeding her, and said:
"Dad~"

"what's wrong?"

Chen Qian patted her tummy and said, "I'm full."

"There's still a little bit left, aren't you going to eat it?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then you can play with your toys by yourself for a while, and Dad will play with you after he finishes eating, okay?"

"it is good."

"Good girl." Chen Fusheng gently ruffled his daughter's hair and lifted her off his lap.

I've only eaten my first bite of food.

After that, everyone asked him about his experience in Hong Kong. When Liu Xiaoli heard that her husband's movie could not be filmed in Hong Kong and could only be filmed in mainland China, she was quite happy.

Because if it's filmed domestically, even if it's not filmed in Beijing, it doesn't feel too far away psychologically!

……

The next day.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Fusheng stood up and said to his sister-in-law:

"Wenqiong, since you don't want me to take you, I'll go to work now. Good luck to you."

"Okay, brother-in-law, you go first, I'll wait for Sister Zhulin."

More than an hour later, when Zhou Wenqiong arrived at the Central Academy of Drama's entrance exam site, she found several familiar faces.

This at least shows that she wasn't the only one who participated in both the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam yesterday and the Central Academy of Drama entrance exam today.

If Chen Fusheng had accompanied her today, they would likely have run into a few familiar faces.

For example, Ni Dahong, who played Su Daqiang in "All Is Well"; Zhang Guangbei, who played Chu Yunfei in "Bright Sword"; He Zhengjun, who played Political Commissar Zhao Gang; and Zhang Shan, who played the young Zhao Yun in the 93 version of "Three Kingdoms"...

Meanwhile, Chen Fusheng of the Oriental Company finally received a fax from the United States this afternoon.

The fax was sent by Karina, the theater manager at Warner Bros., who provided him with information on four actresses to choose from, as requested.

The good news is that each actress was accompanied by a photo.

"Bobby Grace Wilson".

"Viviro Thompson".

Anne Aaron.

Diane Abbott.

After looking at the basic information and photos of the four people, Chen Fusheng realized that none of them were people he knew in his 'previous life'.

That means none of these people became famous later on.

Of course, this is normal. After all, they are not young girls in their teens or twenties. The youngest of them are thirty years old. If they are not famous now, the chances of them becoming famous in the future are even slimmer.

Putting down the fax, Chen Fusheng abandoned his fantasy of finding a bargain and, based on his memory, chose Diane Abbott, the one who had left the deepest impression on him.

In fact, although Diane Abbott, the actress he chose, did not become a huge star, she was still quite well-known in Hollywood, having appeared in works such as the American version of "The King of Comedy", "Crime Story", and "Jojo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling".

The next day, Chen Fusheng arrived at the company very early because Liao Gong was coming to inspect it.

They were told to arrive at 9 o'clock, but they came downstairs ten minutes early to wait.

"Is Xiaoli about to give birth?" Lingzi asked, starting a conversation since no one had arrived yet.

"Correct."

"Luckily you're having your second child this year; if you wait until next year, you probably won't be able to."

Han Sanping joined the conversation: "Sister Ling, what inside information do you know?"

"This isn't exactly inside information. You all know that the country has been vigorously promoting family planning these past two years. I heard it's going to be written into the Constitution this year."

"Is it that serious? It seems I can only have one child from now on."

Chen Fusheng complained, "Old Han, you've been saying you wanted to have a baby for a long time, so why haven't we heard anything? You and your wife didn't secretly have the baby back in your hometown without telling us, did you?"

"How could that be? It's mainly because we're both too busy with work, and we haven't had time to take care of her since she was born. But after we finish filming 'Hachiko,' I plan to settle down in Beijing this year and then bring her to Beijing."

"That's a good plan, but Lao Han, what kind of house are you planning to buy?"

"A courtyard house, like yours with two courtyards, feels more like home than an apartment building. It also provides more space for gatherings with friends."

"But the courtyard house has a drawback."

"What shortcomings?"

"It will be a bit cold to live here in winter."

“This is the capital city, and it does seem quite cold in winter, but if you can stay here, there’s no reason why I can’t,” Han Sanping said.

"I plan to buy another building before winter arrives this year."

"..." Han Sanping was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, "Holy crap, you're awesome! You're amazing! I'm not following you anymore."

Just then, Lingzi suddenly looked towards the entrance of the workplace and said:

"coming!"
