Chapter 191 The Incorrigible Daughter (Please Subscribe!)

"One wise man can build a city of ten thousand miles, and one man can be worth a million soldiers! Elder Xia is giving me, Chen Fusheng, too much credit. I am not worthy of such a title. I will hang it on the company's honor wall instead."

"But Director Chen, this is a gift from Elder Xia."

"Do you think it's appropriate to hang it in my office?"

Tong Jiang thought to himself, "You can take it home."

But he never said what was on his mind.

In fact, Chen Fusheng had considered this option.

He felt that it would be more meaningful to keep it at the company to inspire everyone than to hang it at home for his own enjoyment.

After handing the letter to Tong Jiang, Chen Fusheng noticed he hadn't left and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Have."

Tong Jiang opened his notebook and said, "The department called yesterday afternoon, asking Director Chen to go to a meeting at the ministry at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"What kind of meeting?" Chen Fusheng pressed.

"The theme of the conference is to respond to the national call and promote a positive culture!"

"..."

Chen Fusheng: Has the boomerang flown back again?
But this shouldn't be solely aimed at him or their Oriental Company; it's aimed at the entire cultural industry.

Therefore, Chen Fusheng wasn't too worried.

Chao Tongjiang nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Without Director Chen."

"...Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."

Tong Jiang had just left, and Chen Fusheng hadn't even had a chance to sit down when the office door rang again.

He assumed that his secretary had forgotten to tell him something.

When he looked up, he found screenwriter Li Zhun standing at the door.

"come in."

"Hey, good."

Noticing that Li Zhun was carrying an unknown magazine when he came in, she asked curiously:

"Old Li, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Director Chen, this is last month's 'October' magazine. There's a short story in it called 'Wreath at the Foot of the Mountain.' I wonder if you've read it?"

As he spoke, Li Zhun handed the October magazine to Chen Fusheng.

"You know I was abroad last month and just got back, so I didn't have time to watch it." Although he said that, Chen Fusheng was no stranger to the book "Garland at the Foot of the Mountain".

Because in his previous life he had seen the movie adapted from this novel.

It seems that Tang Guoqiang is still the actor in it.

At this moment, he took the magazine, but instead of flipping through it, he guessed Li Zhun's purpose: "Old Li, you don't mean to adapt this novel, do you?"

“Exactly.” Li Zhun didn’t keep Chen Fusheng in suspense and generously introduced the novel to him, then concluded: “Director Chen, I think this novel is very suitable for film and television adaptation.”

"Okay, then do as you please. I'll take a look at the novel you mentioned first."

In fact, when Chen Fusheng said those words, he agreed in his heart.

After all, Oriental Company was rich, so Chen Fusheng certainly didn't mind making some films with a contemporary feel.

"Garland at the Foot of the Mountain" is a story told by Li Cunbao based on the war in the south, depicting the story of the soldiers of the Ninth Company from pre-war preparations to their bloody battle.

Of course, this novel is popular not only because it realistically portrays the cruelty of war and the dedication of soldiers.

This is also largely due to the vivid characters he portrays in his novels.

For example, there's Liang Sanxi, the company commander who came from a poor background but had a deep love for his country; Zhao Mengsheng, the "son of a high-ranking official" who tried to escape the war through family connections but eventually awakened and transformed into a qualified soldier; and Jin Kailai, the straightforward soldier...

In the office, when Chen Fusheng finished reading the novel, his emotions were more intense than when he watched the movie in his previous life.

This is not because the novel is more immersive than the movie, but because Chen Fusheng's state of mind is different in this life.

"Director Chen, how is it?" Li Zhun hadn't left yet. Seeing that Chen Fusheng had finally put down the magazine, he immediately put down his teacup and asked.

"It's a very good military novel, and as you said, it is indeed quite suitable for film and television adaptation."

Chen Fusheng continued, "How about this, you contact 'October' magazine first to see if the film and television rights to the novel are still available. If they are, buy them and then come to me for approval."

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen. I'll go ask right away."

In the afternoon, Chen Fusheng had nothing to do, so he slacked off for a while before leaving get off work on time.

When I got home, dinner was ready, so I washed my hands and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, his daughter came over with her rice bowl.

"Daddy, I want to eat while sitting on your lap."

"Okay, but Sisi, you also have to promise Daddy you'll eat properly, okay?"

Chen Fusheng knew that his daughter was good at everything, except that she didn't eat properly. She always dawdled while eating and always left some food uneaten. The key point was that no matter how much food he gave her, she would always leave some.

Then, a little while later, she said she was hungry and wanted to eat snacks.

"it is good."

Chen Qian readily agreed to her father's request.

Of course, this wasn't the first time Chen Fusheng had lectured her.

If someone feeds her, it's a little better, but every time it's her turn to eat by herself, she still doesn't learn her lesson.

Of course, this isn't a big problem. It will basically get better as the child gets older and more sensible. In fact, this situation is caused by the adults' pampering. So, even though he knows his daughter is just being perfunctory, Chen Fusheng doesn't care and still holds her in his arms...

Do you want Daddy to feed you?

"OK."

"So you're going to open your mouth in advance now, aren't you?"

"Hee hee~"

While feeding his daughter, Chen Fusheng also chatted with his family about everyday matters.

"Wenqiong, you passed the entrance exams for both Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. Why did you ultimately decide to go to Beijing Film Academy instead of Central Academy of Drama?"

Zhou Wenqiong glanced at her older cousin before saying, "I just want to be a film and television actress, so I feel that the Beijing Film Academy is more suitable for me."

Chen Fusheng noticed the little interaction between the cousins, but didn't expose them. He then asked, "Did you get your acceptance letter from the Beijing Film Academy?"

"Yeah, I got it."

When does school start?

September 10th.

"There are still almost three months left, which is quite a long time. Would you like to come to the film set early to get a feel for it?"

Zhou Wenqiong understood the implication perfectly. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed with delight, "Is that alright, brother-in-law?"

"Of course, it's possible, but it won't be acting. It will be doing odd jobs, and it will be quite hard work. You should think it over."

"I'm not afraid of hardship..."

"Okay, then you'll report to my film crew tomorrow, no, next Monday. I'll arrange for you to work with Director Ling Zi. You'll do whatever she tells you to do."

"Okay, okay, thank you, brother-in-law."

Seeing that her cousin didn't know how to fight for anything, Liu Xiaoli could only ask on her behalf, "Brother Sheng, how much are you planning to pay Wenqiong per day?"

"Cousin, I don't want anything, the crew will provide food..."

Before Zhou Wenqiong could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoli interrupted her, saying, "Don't speak yet."

Originally, Chen Fusheng couldn't possibly expect to get away with Zhou Wenqiong, his sister-in-law, for free. He just hadn't decided what kind of treatment he would give her. But since his wife was now involved, he still made a promise:
"A subsidy of one yuan per day."

Upon hearing this treatment, Liu Xiaowei, who had been observing the situation, immediately turned red in the eyes.

"Brother-in-law, I can actually work as a helper on your film set."
