At the end of the trip to Xiangjiang, Zhang Ran went to the United States. The music of "Burst Drummer" involves copyright issues, and you have to go to the United States to obtain authorization.

It doesn't matter if the movie is only shown in China. However, overseas distribution involves the authorization of relevant materials, and if there is no authorization, the distributor will not buy it at all, because it will be involved in a copyright lawsuit, and the distribution company will not take this risk.

By the time Zhang Ran handled the relevant matters in the United States, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month when he returned home.

Zhang Ran stood in front of the door for several seconds, and knocked on the door with a hint of apprehension.

"Who?" said Mother Huang Ying's voice from inside.

"Mom, it's me!" Zhang Ran replied.

"Crunch" The security door opened, Huang Ying looked at the son in front of him, his face was full of joy, and greeted: "Son, you are back, come into the house!" Then he turned his head and shouted: "Old man, my son is back!"

Hearing Huang Ying's shout, his father Zhang Zhimin walked out of the room with a copy of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", and there was a smile on his serious face: "Zhang Ran, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll make it for you!"

"No, I'm really a little hungry!" Zhang Ran smiled at his father, it was a plane and a car, and he was indeed a little hungry.

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Zhang Zhimin put the book on the coffee table and went into the kitchen to cook.

Huang Ying looked at Zhang Ran's eyes and turned a little red, and touched Zhang Ran's face: "Son, why have you lost weight again?

The mother in my memory, whether it is the previous life or this life, is always indispensable after meeting, and the mother is worried!

Zhang Ran bent his arms and lit up like a mother: "No, Mom! You see that I have flesh on my body, which is as strong as steel!"

As if remembering something, Zhang Ran opened the suitcase, took out a coat, and said, "Mom, this is the clothes I bought for you, and I don't know if it fits, you can try it!"

Huang Ying smiled: "What clothes to buy me, I have too many clothes to wear!", but after all, it was her son's intention, she turned the clothes over and over, and she couldn't put it down.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Ran got up at half past five as usual, and it has become his habit for many years, and a biological clock has been formed in his body, which has changed back.

Zhang Ran got dressed, washed up, and Shi Shiran went downstairs.

The temperature in Xichuan is much higher than that in Beiping, and the key is that the air quality is much better. Zhang Ran trotted for a while, and then found an open space to hang his throat.

Although the director is the first choice in his heart, Zhang Ran still insists on practicing the basic skills of acting, after all, he is a teacher in the acting department, and as a teacher, he has to have his own goods. If the level of lines is similar to Liu Yifei's, no student will listen to it.

After practicing until seven o'clock, Zhang Ran returned home with a red face.

"Son, get up so early, let's sleep more!" Huang Ying knew that his son was going to exercise, and persuaded with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm used to getting up early!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"Then I'll make you breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

"I love all the food my mother cooks, anything goes!"

"Okay, you wait a while, I'll do it right away!" Hearing her son say this, Huang Ying happily went to the kitchen to get busy.

After breakfast, Zhang Ran went back to the room to read the script for a while, and heard Huang Ying telling him to go grocery shopping together.

Zhang Ran didn't think much about it, the dishes to buy in the Chinese New Year's Eve were not ordinary, and he had to do it himself.

"This is Zhang Ran, I can't recognize it if I haven't seen it for a few years, is there a object? If not, Aunt Chen will introduce you to one!"

"What, Zhang Ran is a teacher at the Film Academy, Zhao Wei and Zhang Ziyi are from their school, and the girls in the school are like fairies, do you still need to introduce them?"

"Really, Zhang Ran, do you know Zhao Wei? If you know and help me get an autograph, I like her!"

……

As soon as they walked downstairs, Zhang Ran and Huang Ying met a group of aunts chatting, so they were surrounded.

The house where Zhang Ran's family lives now is assigned by Lin's father Huang Ying's school, and almost all of them are colleagues of the two of them who know Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran grew up in the yard since he was a child, and these uncles and aunts watched him grow up, although he went abroad for a few years and had a somewhat indifferent impression, he didn't dare to be unreasonable, so he hurriedly said hello politely.

Huang Ying looked at her son and proudly announced to everyone: "Our family Zhang Ran is not only a teacher in the film academy, but now he is also a director, he made a movie, and the movie channel will be broadcast at half past seven tomorrow night, you must watch it then!"

"Really, your family Zhang Ran is getting more and more promising now!"

"Then I'll see it tomorrow night!"

"Now Zhang Ran is getting more and more promising, compared with when he was a child, he is completely like a different person!"

……

Looking at Huang Ying's face full of smiles, Zhang Ran still didn't understand Huang Ying's thoughts, he used to be a celebrity in this yard, early love, skipping school and doing everything, an absolute problem teenager, always used by other children's parents to educate their own children, which also led to parents often not being able to raise their heads in front of colleagues.

Zhang Zhimin and Huang Ying felt that their son would be finished like this, so they asked their cousin in the United States to send Zhang Ran to the United States to study.

Now that her son is out, Huang Ying wants to show off her son to others, which is undoubtedly a very normal idea.

You used to say that my son was bad, but now what about my son?

After talking to the uncles and aunts in the courtyard for a while, Zhang Ran pulled his mother to flash people, and only after walking away did he take a long breath of relief.

"It's okay!" Huang Ying had a smile in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"It's okay, I remembered when I was a child, I was really ignorant at that time!" Zhang Ran shook his head.

"At that time, you were still young, it was normal for boys to be naughty when they were young! Let's go to the vegetable market, you haven't accompanied your mother to buy vegetables for a long time. Huang Ying smiled.

Zhang Ran smiled, and then followed his mother into the long-lost vegetable market.

At noon, Zhang Ran ran downstairs and lit a firecracker, and the festive atmosphere became stronger in the crackling sound. When Zhang Ran went upstairs, the other houses were almost open, and the deafening sound of firecrackers was heard on the entire street intermittently.

"It's the New Year!" Zhang Ran said happily.

The dishes on the table are very rich, chicken, duck, fish, everything, piled up all over the table, and it looks like a hill.

"Mom, just the three of us, you have made too many dishes" Zhang Ran looked at the dazzling dishes on the table and said with a smile.

"You've lost weight, it's rare to come back for the Spring Festival, you have to eat more, it's all made for you!" Huang Ying said and put a piece of chicken wings in Zhang Ran's bowl.

"I want to eat more, no matter how good the food outside is, it can't be as good as what you do, Mom! Because this dish has the taste of home!" Zhang Ran gnawed on the chicken leg and slapped Huang Ying's ass.

Huang Ying's heart warmed when she heard this, and she felt that her son was really sensible now, and she was very relieved. She glanced at Zhang Ran and asked casually: "Zhang Ran, there are a lot of young female teachers in your school, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhimin glanced at Zhang Ran, and his ears pricked up. In the past, when his son was in the United States, he found a foreign girlfriend with yellow hair and green eyes, who looked like a goblin from Journey to the West, and he was very dissatisfied. Now that his son has returned to China, he hopes that his son will find a good one. Of course, he never said these words to Zhang Ran, and fathers are often relatively silent.

Zhang Ran replied casually: "Yes, it's a lot, film academy!"

Huang Ying said: "If there is a suitable one, it is best to think about it carefully, and it is best to hurry up and solve the personal problem." ”

Zhang Ran looked up, although his father didn't speak, he also pricked up his ears to listen again, knowing that the two of them were on the same front, and said with a wry smile: "Mom, don't worry about it, I'm still young, don't worry about this!"

Huang Ying began to babble and said: "You kid is just disobedient, let you study hard, you found a yellow-haired foreign girlfriend, now let you look for it, you don't look for it again." You're about to be twenty-five, and you have a stable job, so it's time to look for it. I was pregnant with you when I was so old, how could we not worry about it?"

"Mom, you don't know! I have a group of children, and I have to make movies, how can I have time to find a girlfriend? We are all like this in this industry, you look at Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, how old are they to get married!"

Huang Ying was unhappy: "The good ones don't study, the bad ones you go to school, you want to die in a hurry!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly said: "Okay, good, if I meet a suitable one, I will definitely take her down, tie her back and let my mother review it, if you are satisfied, we will stay, and if you are not satisfied, we will kick her out!"

Huang Ying glanced at Zhang Ran: "Nonsense, no one is right! If you want to talk, talk about it, don't mess around!"

"Okay, I'll promise like Chairman Mao!" Zhang Ran nodded, not wanting to continue the topic, so he chatted with his parents about interesting things at school, and soon made the second elder laugh.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala on the Chinese New Year's Eve every year is definitely inevitable, and Zhang Ran and his family are no exception. Although Zhang Ran has seen it a long time ago, after all, it was more than ten years ago, and his memory has long been indifferent, and looking at it again at this moment brings back many memories.

At nine o'clock, the phone at home kept ringing, some looking for Zhang Zhimin and some looking for Huang Ying, and the two of them received blessings while also sending blessings to each other.

Zhang Ran's mobile phone also rang non-stop, but basically it was text messages, including colleagues from the unit, students in the class, and members of the crew. After Zhang Ran read it, he wrote a text message reply one by one according to the other party's situation: "Bingkun, the play is getting better and better! The holy clothes, the longer and higher, Ge Erdan, more and more slimmer......"

To Zhang Ran's surprise, Liu Yifei also sent a text message to himself, writing "Master Liar, Happy New Year". Seeing this text message, Zhang Ran replied: "The liar's apprentice is a little liar, a little liar, happy new year!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, other families were busy greeting their relatives, and Zhang Ran's family did not have many relatives, either in other places or abroad, no one came to walk around, and the family was also relaxed.

However, today is a big day for Zhang Ran's family, because Zhang Ran's movie "Time Prisoner" will be broadcast on the movie channel. From morning onwards, the whole family was excited and waited for the broadcast moment to arrive.
