"Okay, let's send it here, I'm going to visit Ban Qiaofei, remember to arrange dinner." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take you to the local restaurant. ”

Outside Hengdian Film and Television City, Gu Xiaojiao hugged Zhou Chen, turned around and quickly followed Qiao Fei, who came to pick her up, into the car.

Zhou Chen watched their car go away, then called the car and went home.

He went to the United States and came back, and he didn't bring any valuables to his family and friends.

But because I was in Los Angeles, in order to show a little affection, I bought some signed photos of Hollywood superstars, anime, animation, and film and television peripheral souvenirs that were convenient to bring back to give away.

His father Zhou Fu liked the "Godfather" series very much, so Zhou Chen bought genuine DVDs, novels, and signed photos of Marlon Brando and brought them back.

As for Gu Xiaojiao, Yang Xuewen, and Qiao Fei, including Teacher Yuan, he also brought such small gifts that they liked.

But now only Gu Xiaojiao's gift "Gone with the Wind" video disc and the adaptation of the original book "Gone with the Wind" have been given, and other people's gifts have not been given yet.

Looking at the wide and tidy Qinqing Road corrected outside the car, as well as the small companies and restaurants on both sides, Zhou Chen felt very relieved.

In the past two years, the film and television industry has become popular, and Hengdian is also changing day by day.

I heard that the area of their house will be demolished and rebuilt soon.

Dad is worried about this matter, dismantling and replacement, although it can be replaced with a good house, but it is not so easy to open a homestay or hotel.

Now tourism here is also popular, so the hotels and B&Bs near the film and television city are more and more luxurious, and the environment is better, but their family has no money to expand their business.

Zhou Chen is rich now, and he can help his father, but he doesn't have the heart to do it, and he hands over the homestay to the children of relatives, but Zhou Chen is wondering if to do it.

Soon the car turned a corner, turned into Shili Street, the environment is poor, completely similar to the countryside, occasionally you can see two-story buildings, the rest are ordinary big iron gates, brick structure houses, but compared with the backward areas, in fact, it is also very modern.

The car stopped in front of a second-floor hotel called 'Muxin Hotel', and after Zhou Chen got out of the car to pay, he walked straight in.

The decoration of the hotel is very ordinary, but it is very clean, there are a few extras who don't know each other, and only the little girl from northern Jiangsu with two pigtails in the lobby is greeting the guests, and she greeted Zhou Chen in surprise.

"Xiao Jiang, is my dad here?"

"Well, uncle heard that you were coming back last night, and he is waiting for you at home today. ”

"That's good, you're busy. ”

Zhou Chen didn't say much, walked directly through the lobby and entered the courtyard at the back.

Although it looks like a two-story hotel from the outside, there is actually a small courtyard separated by it, and a smaller two-story building has been built behind, mainly because of the people of Zhou Chen's family and employees, and occasionally some rooms will be rented out.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his father tending to his little garden.

"Dad, I'm back. ”

"Qiqi, why are you alone, didn't you say that you came back with your girlfriend?"

"Oh, I didn't say I'd bring someone back, she went to visit her friend. ”

"Then why are you back? It's only been two months since you last came back. ”

“…… , you don't say what your father said, right?" Zhou Chen said speechlessly.

"It's all at the doorstep, and I can't even bring my girlfriend back, hmph, I'm very skeptical about this, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhou Fu threw down the tools in his hand, washed his hands and talked to Zhou Chen at the faucet on the side.

"Hehe, what do you have to suspect, if you have, if you don't, if you don't, why should I lie to you. ”

Zhou Chen looked at his father's suspicious expression, smiled helplessly, and put down his satchel.

"That's not necessarily, last time I saw a young man who didn't go home for the New Year, saying that he was going to accompany his girlfriend to her house, do you say I can trust you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you'll know sooner or later. Okay, look at the gift I bought you. ”

Zhou Chen didn't bother to discuss this topic with his father, and took out the gift he brought back from his bag.

"Yes, I didn't go to the United States in vain. Seeing Zhou Chen take out his favorite movie genuine disc and signed poster, Zhou Fu's eyes immediately lit up.

The father and son are somewhat similar, both are thin and tall, but Zhou Fu is obviously more tough than Zhou Chen.

"If you like it, don't ask me about making movies, aren't you worried that I'm losing a lot of money and owing a lot of debt?"

Zhou Chen saw that his father never asked him about the movie, so he said angrily.

"What did you ask? Anyway, what you will say, if you don't want to say it, the eight achievements are a failure. ”

Zhou Fu couldn't put it down, and when he saw that it was in English, he felt a little sorry: "But you're a good kid, you really went to the United States to make a movie alone, English must be no problem, right?"

"Of course. ”

"Okay, then you can read me a passage. Zhou Fu handed the book in his hand to Zhou Chen.

"You don't understand. Zhou Chen said speechlessly.

"I just want to hear how far your English is from the people in TV and movies. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. Zhou Chen had no choice but to open the pages and read.

“Amerigo Bonasera sat in New York Criminal Court Number 3 and waited for justice; vengeance on the men who had so cruelly hurt his daughter， who had tried to dishonor her。 ”

The judge， a formidably heavy-featured man……”

"Okay, okay, it sounds very fluent, but the pronunciation is average. Zhou Fu interrupted.

"You always say yes, my pronunciation is very good. ”

Zhou Chen's speaking and listening have improved this year, but when he practiced with English movies, his pronunciation was actually very accurate, and he basically didn't have an accent.

"Well, it's almost noon, let's go to your Aunt Zhao's restaurant to eat, and tell me about your trip to the United States to make a movie. ”

"Okay, let's go, I've been on a two-hour plane and an hour's car, and I'm really hungry. ”

The father and son talked, put their things away, locked the door, and went out of the yard.

The two chatted while eating in the box.

Zhou Chen told his father many things in detail, and Zhou Fu listened more and more yearningly, regretting that he didn't go with Zhou Chen at the beginning.

At that time, he was afraid that he would make trouble for Zhou Chen and increase expenses, so he didn't go.

Now I feel a little pity when I hear that Zhou Chen met a nobleman, and finally the movie was made and he made a lot of money.

"You said you were going to shoot a low-budget movie soon, do you have a suitable role for your father?"

Hearing Zhou Chen mention "Crazy Stone", Zhou Fu couldn't regret it, and was interested.

"Of course, I told you that I wanted you to play a role. But before that, I'm going to the Venice Film Festival this time, do you want to go?"

"I, I'd better forget it, don't you bring your girlfriend with you, it won't affect you young people to fall in love, by the way, you let me read the script first. ”

"Okay, I'll print it back. ”
