Chapter 257: Left-behind Old Man

Because of this sudden phone call, Zhou Min called Mei Xin over to discuss how to design the makeup for the audition. Although he didn't have much hope that Zhou Linlang would pass the audition, what if, in case of luck, he would have succeeded. You know, he didn't have any hope of passing the first attempt at first, but in the end he received a phone call. Just like Director Wu Baiyong Wu said, Zhou Linlang sometimes has special luck.

Knowing that Zhou Linlang got the opportunity to audition for director Howard, Mei Xin was even more excited than Zhou Min, and immediately said that she wanted to come up with the best work to make Zhou Linlang stand out in the mirror.

"The image of a mermaid comes from Western legends, mostly from the legends of sailors, and in general, mermaids are defined as sirens, seducing sailors with beautiful singers and then killing them. It is still because of the spread of the fairy tale "Daughter of the Sea" all over the world. Mei Xin said with a serious face, "Now, we have to confirm whether Howard's "Mermaid" wants to celebrate that kind of mermaid, murderous, or kind, which is very important to my design." ”

Mei Xin looked at Zhou Min and said, "Have you inquired about it?"

Zhou Min shook his head.

"That's trouble. We don't even know the question, how to do the answer, what to do off topic. ”

Mei Xin's face was cautious, and Zhou Min also looked solemn, this is indeed a problem.

"Don't think about fairy tales. Zhou Linlang suddenly said, "I have studied the works of director Howard, and he has never filmed fairy tales. At most, it is borrowed from fairy tales, and in the end, it is also a dark fairy tale. So, I don't think it's possible for him to choose the mermaid image in "Daughter of the Sea", but the Siren. Moreover, if "Daughter of the Sea" was really filmed, then there should not be so many beauties of various types that day, we don't know the direction of director Howard's shooting, and it is impossible for those recommenders not to know. ”

"What you said reminds me. One of the reports I found said that director Howard was very interested in the legend and history of the Kraken, and even went to the Kraken Museum to visit, saying that it was preparing for the next movie. Because this report came from the NC Times, which is the best at spreading rumors, I thought they were spreading rumors again, and I didn't care. In this way, maybe the news is true. ”

Zhou Min looked at Mei Xin and said, "Let's make a shape according to the theme of the Siren." Speaking of The Little Mermaid, I immediately thought of Disney's blonde and blue-eyed fairy tale image, which is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and we are not Caucasians, so we naturally lack that feeling. Let's be a Kraken. The legend only says that the Siren is beautiful, cunning, and ferocious, but it does not have a representative image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it can be better played. ”

"According to you, we might as well rely on the design of the mermaids. Mei Xin rolled her eyes.

"What is it?" Zhou Min was dumbfounded.

"If you don't learn, you can't do it. Mei Xin glanced at Zhou Min and explained, "The mermaids don't know, tsk, you are still not from Huaguo!" Its tears can produce pearls', and the mausoleum of the Qin Emperor burns shark oil, which can burn for a hundred years. ”

"Oh. Zhou Min said expressionlessly, "What does this have to do with what we discussed, isn't it a fish demon, you want to design the image of a fish demon this time?"

"......" Mei Xin choked, glared at Zhou Min angrily, turned her head to discuss her design with Zhou Linlang, and didn't want to talk to someone like Zhou Min who had no romantic cells. The mermaid choked, such a mysterious species, can weave shark yarn, can produce pearls, beautiful, magical and powerful, and when it reaches Zhou Min's mouth, it becomes a fish demon, and it feels like it has dropped in an instant.

Phew, it's this kind of person who has no artistic cells that ruins the artist's inspiration! Mei Xin decided not to ask Zhou Min's opinion before the design was completed, and asking could only lower her level of art appreciation!

was excluded by the two women, Zhou Min was not angry, and told them to find themselves if they had something to do, and Zhou Min went to do his own business.

......

In Kyoto, Ning Feng and his wife moved into the old house.

"Dad, Aunt Zhang. ”

Ning Feng and his wife greeted Mr. Ning, with a very respectful attitude, but they had a normal attitude towards Ning Zhang, no sadness or joy, the voice of "Aunt Zhang" was like calling the nanny at home, and Ning Zhang's breath was not good to hear. But no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't get angry, after all, she is not Ning Feng's biological mother, and calling her "auntie" is a rule that the old man has long set. Ning Feng shouted according to the rules, if she fell on her face, she would not give the old man face. So, she could only bear it aggrievedly, she had been like this for decades, but now she didn't want to care about it, so she didn't hear it. Anyway, the old man also knew that she and the two children in front of her did not deal with each other.

"It's back. Old Man Ning nodded, looked left and right, didn't see his grandchildren, frowned, and said, "What about the three children? Why didn't I come back with you." ”

Ning Feng wanted to speak, but was pinched by his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Ning preemptively said: "The three children have their own jobs, and the old house is too far away from the city, so it is really inconvenient to go to work." ”

Second Mrs. Ning was on the side, and when she heard this, she interjected: "Oh, I only know that Ning Shu has a job in the group, and I don't know when Ning Di and Ning Yuan also joined the company." Xiao Qian, bring the tea to your uncle and aunt. ”

Mrs. Ning's heart darkened: deliberately only Ning Shu worked in the group in front of everyone, didn't she just want to say that Xiaoyuan and Xiaodi did not have proper jobs, and refute the reason why she used work as an excuse just now. He also deliberately asked Ning Qian to make tea for himself, so that everyone could see that Ning Qian returned to the old house early, didn't he just want to use his children's non-attendance to set off Ning Qian's filial piety and respect? Who doesn't know that Ning Qian can only gnaw at home if he doesn't learn and have no skills, he must have time to "be filial" to his elders, because without elders, how can he have the money to squander. Comparing Ning Qian's garbage with my precious son, I still think that my son can't compare to that garbage, I'm really blind, and I'm not afraid of the wind when I say this.

"Brother and sister said this. Who doesn't know the situation of the five children in the family, and the two brothers are more sensible, and the remaining three little ones are reluctant to go to work in the company. However, although the two little demon stars in my family made a fuss, they didn't listen to us elders very much, and they also created their own careers in the bumps. Hey, it's just that I'm usually too busy, always tossing outside, and it's not as intimate as Xiaoqian. Mrs. Ning said pretendly, "Every time I see Xiao Qian accompanying my younger siblings attentively, I am very envious, I can't wait to let Xiao Di and Xiao Yuan learn more, and let me feel the feeling of my son being by my side at any time." ”

"Huh. Second Lady Ning's face froze. Mrs. Ning's words are ironic at all, saying that she is envious, but in fact, she means that Ning Qian has no ability, so she can only squat at home and can't make money outside. But this is a hard injury, and Second Mrs. Ning couldn't refute it, so she could only hold her breath and glared at the uncompetitive Ning Qian, and said with a smile that Mrs. Ning's three children were capable, and his two children couldn't catch up.

Ning Qian: Ma Dan, Ning Di and Ning Yuan, you wait for me! If you dare to insult me and look down on me, I will definitely make you regret it!

Ningdi and Ningyuan: WHAT?

"Dad, I'd rather say they'll be back in a few days. Ning Feng said, "They have also carefully prepared gifts for you, which are so mysterious that even I don't know about them." ”

"Oh, yes. I'm looking forward to it. The old man smiled again.

None of the three grandsons came back, and Old Man Ning was very unhappy and didn't believe the reason given by his eldest daughter-in-law, and felt that Ning Shu didn't take him as a grandfather to heart. Because Ning Mai, who also worked in the group, had already returned to his old house to help prepare his birthday banquet, but Ning Shu, as the boss, did not show his face, which was too unfilial.

But when the eldest daughter-in-law speaks, he, as a father-in-law, is not easy to get angry. One is face, and the other is that Ning Yuan's birth made the old house and the big house estranged. If there is fire, it can't be done, and the old man can't be aggrieved. Fortunately, his son knows that he is filial to his father and is willing to give everyone a ladder, so that he knows that his grandson is still filial, and he is looking forward to it.

"As soon as Ning Feng and his family came back, they were pulled by you to ask questions, and they didn't even pack their luggage. It's better to wait for them to pack up and take a break. Knowing that you are happy that your children are back, but they are all home, don't you have time to chat? Ning Zhang, who was on the side, said with a smile to Old Man Ning, and then turned his head to appease Ning Feng, "Ning Feng, don't blame your father, he is also happy that you go home." After the children get married, they all live outside, and it is rare to come back, usually this old house I live with the old man, and I miss you a lot. ”

"What do you say, who thinks about them, I have a lot of things to do every day, and I don't want any of them. Old Man Ning's face bluffed, "Besides, aren't the second child and Xiao Yao's family all here? I'm not a left-behind old man who no one cares about, but a lot of children are under the knee of the child." ”

Old Man Ning refuted Ning Zhang's words with a stiff mouth, but his eyes looked at Ning Feng, and the expectation in his eyes made Ning Feng's heart tremble. Hey, it's his fault, because of his mother and wife's mustard, the days when he returns to the old house have been very few, and his own children are even fewer. I always thought that the old man had food and clothing, and Aunt Zhang and his children were by his side to take care of him, so he should lack nothing. forgot that the three brothers and sisters were also the children of the old man, and the old man also put the three brothers and sisters in his heart and thought about them. Forget it, for the sake of the old man's face, for the sake of Aunt Zhang's family taking care of the old man's dedication, some things are still best not taken care of. Otherwise, it is still the old man who is caught in the middle.

Mrs. Ning, who originally wanted to refute Ning Zhang's family, was stopped by Ning Feng's hand, and she was not allowed to say more, and while she was puzzled, she was more angry. Why don't you let her say! What "it's rare to come back," don't you just want to say that they are not filial? And that hostess-like tone, what is the meaning! You are the current old lady Ning, but they are also the descendants of the genuine version of the Ning family, and they are also the owners of the old mansion, how can they become guests-like existence in your mouth. Hmph, the old man hasn't passed away yet, so he can't wait to announce the ownership of the old mansion. If you want to be beautiful, who does the old house belong to, it's not necessarily!
