Chapter 376: A Ball of Fire
In 05, Ma Liwen filmed "The Two of Us", which tells the story of a reckless little girl and a lonely old lady, who are accompanied by bumps and bumps.
"I Can Say" is somewhat similar, but more deliberate.
Seeing that her brother was pitiful, the old lady often cooked for him, and Section Chief Jiang was grateful, so he agreed to teach her English.
This kind of drama is not difficult for Zhou Jin and Li Minqi, the two sit opposite each other, and the lights are dim and warm.
"Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, three days a week is enough, I don't charge you. β
"What do you mean...... How embarrassing it would be if you didn't take the money. β
Zhou Jin smiled, "Civil servants are not allowed to work part-time, but if I get off work late, can you help my brother prepare dinner?"
"Yes, that's great, I promise to raise him for nothing," the old lady was pleasantly surprised, and quickly ran to get the English book, "Isn't it Wednesday today, strike while the iron is hot." β
"Okay," Zhou Jin said: "But you don't need to learn such difficult words, if you want to communicate in daily life, you can use simple words." β
The old lady reacted immediately, "Then you still test me for such difficult words, what longitude, latitude, ecology ......?"
"Ah, this ......" Zhou Jin smiled embarrassedly.
He can't say it's deliberately difficult.
The old lady glared at him with disgust, "You are really bad enough, no wonder you can be a civil servant." β
Zhou Jin hurriedly changed the topic, "Then let's start with the simplest, meet and say hello, how are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks, and you?" the old lady took a bite of the Beijing film, and it was hard to say that it was not standard, anyway, her voice was loud.
"good," Zhou Jin praised.
In the scenes of the next few days, Section Chief Jiang basically took the old lady to learn English.
The two talked in English, played games in English, sang in English, and even went to bars together to talk to foreigners.
It seemed that the old lady was very annoying and had been bothering Section Chief Jiang, but unconsciously, Section Chief Jiang's indifferent heart was also moved.
The relationship between people is so wonderful, and the bond between the old and the young is also very harmonious.
That night, the two returned from the bar, and because they had drunk too much, they found a bench to sit down, and on either side of the bench were dim street lamps.
Section Chief Jiang revealed his heart for the first time:
"When I was in high school, my parents hid that I had a younger brother, and in a fit of rage, I enrolled in a university far away from home, and my mother died not long after. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Jin changed his English, "I hurried back for the funeral, and when I left again, I didn't know the situation at home at all, because I was afraid that I would worry, and my father kept hiding it from me...... A year later, my father passed away. β
"I think they must have had a premonition that I would be lonely, so they gave birth to a younger brother, but I didn't understand it at the time. β
"When I was very young, I wanted to be a singer and sing wherever I went with my guitar, but now I stay in the Letters and Calls Bureau, becoming a punching bag for the common people, living a life where I can see the head at a glance...... I'm so sorry that I didn't live the life I wanted to live. β
"Alas~" Li Minqi sighed, "It turns out that you also have such a sad past." β
Zhou Jin looked at her in surprise, "You actually understand?"
"No," Li Minqi said, "However, just listening to your voice, I can probably guess." β
Although the Chinese and English languages are not understood, the voice of the voice cannot deceive people.
Some of the pain is wrapped in a sugarcoat that only people who have been in the same pain can empathize with.
This is a common human emotion and has nothing to do with language.
"What about you, why do you have to learn English?" Zhou Jin turned to her and asked.
"I also have a younger brother," Li Minqi looked into the distance, "I went to the United States when I was very young, but I couldn't speak a word of Chinese." β
"I want to talk on the phone, but I can't communicate, and I don't know if he's doing well, how his health is, and whether his children are doing...... There are so many things to know. β
The camera gradually pulls away, and the two of them sit on a bench, the lights are dim, and a curved moon hangs on the treetops, which is extremely cold.
"Okay," Wen Muye stood not far away, clapping.
"Ouch, it's finally over," Zhou Jin stretched and helped the old lady to stand up.
He used to think that good acting skills were to explode, his expression should be hideous, and the more intense the emotion, the better, but now he has some new experiences.
Accurate and natural, that's the hardest part.
Like the one the two of them just now, it was full of life, as if the old lady and the young lady around them were chatting, and there was no trace of performance at all.
But the emotional changes of the two and the psychological feeling were clearly transmitted.
In two words: enjoy.
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, let's pack up and go back to sleep, Ming'er doesn't have a morning play, right?" Li Minqi walked over and asked Wen Muye.
Wen Muye said: "No, you can rest well." β
"Well, then let's go, you can go to bed early, don't get too late. β
The old lady greeted and walked outside the field with Zhou Jin's support, and suddenly a small black shadow appeared next to the ground, and suddenly held her other arm, "Grandma Li, brother." β
"Hey~" Li Minqi agreed with a smile, "Xiaokai, you haven't slept yet, what are you doing here?"
Wang Junkai helped her and said, "I watched the two of you acting, really, really relaxed." β
After this kid was trained by Zhou Jin*, somehow, he became interested in acting, and came to watch if he had nothing to do.
I don't know if I understand it or not, anyway, I still hold my chin and nod every time.
Zhou Jin said: "Don't you have to go to school now? It's the end of March, and it's time to start school." β
"Yes, I took a long vacation, and when I finished filming, I had to go to the company for training. β
"Training for what?"
"Singing, and dancing, but I'm not good at dancing, singing is okay," he stood on tiptoe, glanced at Zhou Jin, and whispered: "Grandma Li, I sing better than my brother." β
"Ha, he sings ugly enough," Li Minqi patted him with a smile, "But ah, a child as old as you should go to school and mix with the entertainment industry." β
Zhou Jin glared at the kid and said, "Grandma Li, you don't understand, how many people want to enter the entertainment industry and have no way, if this kid is popular, it is better than studying." β
Wang Junkai sighed, "Alas, I'm also difficult, if I can't succeed this time, I shouldn't be a trainee, can I come and act with you?"
"Don't," Zhou Jin smiled: "You can just be your TF boy, you have nothing to sing, go on variety shows, don't come to harm our film industry." β
After a while, Xiao Xianrou will be in charge, and this master may not be one of the fierce generals.
"But what if I like acting a little bit now?" Wang Junkai asked, twisting his head.
Zhou Jin didn't lift his eyelids, "I still like actors, is it useful?"
"Haha, it's good to have this ambition," Li Minqi wrapped one in one hand, although he was tired, but Bei'er was happy, "Xiaokai is still young, study hard first, and talk about acting or something when he grows up." β
"Xiao Zhou, if you want to take your time as the actor, if you play the role of Section Chief Jiang, it's really a little bit worse. β
The old lady had a poisonous eye, and she could see that Zhou Jin was almost hot, but she lacked a masterpiece and a complex enough role for him to play thoroughly.
Zhou Jin helped her step up a step and said: "Yes, the box office and awards can't be both, I really have to find out, but the actor can't get it for the time being, you, the old actress, are sure of it." β
Needless to say, Li Minqi's acting skills, the theme of comfort women is politically correct, if Jinji Huabiao doesn't give an award, it really can't be said.
"Ha, thanks to you, I don't want to be a movie queen, just enjoy acting. β
An old man and a young man, plus a little kid, the three of them walked to the intersection and took the car back to the hotel.
Zhou Jin first sent Li Minqi back to the room, then threw Wang Junkai to his assistant, and finally returned to the room to take a quick shower, took out his mobile phone and saw that there were several missed calls on it.
They were all called by Liu Sisi.
I have the heart to reply to one, and when I looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, so I edited a WeChat message and sent it over: I just came back, did I sleep?
After waiting for a while, there was no reply, it was estimated that he was asleep, so Zhou Jin sent a good night, then turned off his mobile phone and decided to sleep.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I faintly heard a voice from next door.
He listened sideways for a while, and then he realized that it was the old lady who was reading English:
βTodayοΌI'm standing here for those girlsβ¦β¦ Today I stand here for the sake of the girls who were robbed of their dreams by the Japanese army, and we must remember the pain of those girls, who have committed crimes against humanity but still refuse to apologize......"
"Whew," Zhou Jin lay back on the bed in a deep voice.
This old lady has a fire in her heart.
