Verse 344: Persuasion

When Song Zhen pushed the car through the winding alleys of the Xu family to the door of his house, he saw that the door of his house was open. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The layout of her house is not very good, and it is difficult for the sun to visit in the alley, especially in the evening, when the sunlight can only reach the window of her house, and it can only shine through the upper half of the window, barely illuminating the house.

Growing up here, she was used to this kind of environment, and she didn't need to get closer, just by standing at this angle, she could see a man sitting on the sofa in her living room, and the dim sunset was draped over him.

It's Duane.

Song Zhen walked in from the door after putting the car away, only to find that there was another person in his living room besides Duan.

"Zhen Zhen is back!"

The man sat on the side of the sofa and greeted Song Zhen warmly when he saw him standing at the door, as if she was the mistress of the house.

Song Zhen glanced at the man and called out "Aunt Ai".

The woman who greeted her was in her fifties, with permed hair and a rich figure, and her body was red and green, which was completely in line with the principle of red and green bullshit, and she seemed to think it was quite beautiful when she was born.

Her name is Lai Xiaoai, she is a neighbor in the alley, a son and a daughter in the family are very promising, one works in the tax bureau and the other is in the middle management of a foreign company, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, so this little life is good, and she is also a well-known matchmaker in Xujia Lane.

Lai Xiaoai ignored Song Zhen after saying hello to her, and turned to Du An again, with a smile on her face, her eyes were almost open, and she pushed a photo on the coffee table in front of Du An, and continued the topic just now: "Xiao Meng, this girl is really good, look at it, don't talk about the beauty of the little girl's family, the work is fine, in the state organ, she became the section chief at a young age, and the future is limitless!" You see, this appearance is really speechless, no worse than those little girls in your circle, the key is that the family background is innocent and stable, not as chaotic as the many little girls in your circle, this is what you can use as a wife......"

Du An accompanied the smiling face and said "not bad", but his eyes quietly turned to Song Zhen on the side, giving a "save me" look.

Not long after he arrived at Shen Huifang's house and sat down, this aunt came, and she kept talking until now, and he heard that she was not thirsty.

After the two exchanged glances, Song Zhen casually put the bag on the coffee table, sat down on Duane's side, reached over and picked up several photos on the coffee table, looked at them one by one, and interjected: "Aunt Ai, there is nothing else?"

Lai Xiaoai didn't know what Song Zhen meant when she suddenly spoke, she glanced at her and smiled: "What, you still help check the gates?"

Song Zhen nodded, "That's it, although I don't think he's a good person, but my mother is about to treat him as half a son, and I have to check it for my mother's sake." After speaking, he waved the photo he was holding, "But to be honest, Aunt Ai, these few you introduced are really not good, I can't even look at them, and he can't look down on them even more." ”

Hearing Song Zhen say this, Lai Xiaoai was anxious, and said continuously: "Why can't you look down on it, why can't you look down on it, there are all good girls here, all of them are beautiful and have a good net worth, where is it not good?!" A look of "If you can't say a reason, the old lady wants you to look good".

Song Zhen said: "These are indeed very good for people like us, but there are some things that you don't want to selectively ignore when you love your aunt," she pointed at Duane, "He is also a person worth hundreds of millions, according to the principle of being the right person, he doesn't require you to find a wealthy daughter, at least you have to be a lady, right? ”

Lai Xiaoai's face was a little unbearable, and said: "What age is this, and the door is still in the right place...... Before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by Song Zhen, "Aunt Ai, I remember that when you usually talk about matchmaking, don't you like to pay attention to the door the most?" ......

The contest between two clever women, one big and one small, finally ended with Song Zhen's victory.

Du An watched Lai Xiaoai leave with a disgraced face, glanced at Song Zhen again, and shook his head in his heart: he didn't expect Song Zhen to have such a side.

Song Zhen noticed his expression and asked, "What?" His face had returned to its previous indifference and calmness.

Duane shook his head, "Nothing. Then he shifted the subject, "Why are you back?"

Song Zhen said: "What you want to talk about later, can't I listen to it?"

Duane shook his head again, "It's not, I just think that if you are here, it may be a bit of a conflict, after all, this matter has been hidden from your mother, and I don't know how she will react when I tell her at first glance." ”

When such a Huabiao Award ceremony was about to be held, he deliberately returned to Nanyang and came to Shen Huifang for dinner, naturally it was not an idle egg pain but something serious, that is, a film appointment about Song Zhen.

With the successful release of "Liberation Day" and some of the layouts he has made, the next "Truman's World" can no longer be delayed, it must be started as soon as possible, and the crew list must be set as soon as possible.

Due to some factors, Du An plans to let Song Zhen play the heroine of this movie, but in that case, there is a hurdle in front of them to pass, that is, Shen Huifang.

Shen Huifang is a very traditional Chinese woman, and the two of them didn't even dare to tell her about Song Zhen's part-time job at Paramount, which told her at first glance that Song Zhen was going to act in a movie, and I didn't know if she could accept it. It's just that this matter can't be concealed like Paramount work, because as soon as the movie is released, or even before it is released, Shen Huifang will know that her daughter is acting in a movie, and she can't hide it at all, so she can only say it in advance.

Duane thought for a while, paused for a moment, and said: "Actually, it's better that you're still not here, that's what I thought before, give your mother a buffer time, and things will be much easier to handle." ”

Song Zhen glared at him, "Then you mean to let me go back right away?"

Duane shook his head again, "That's it, you're all back, let's act when the time comes." ”

After finishing business, there was silence between the two.

often encounters such a situation, Song Zhen has long developed a way to deal with it - she picked up her bag from the coffee table, took it to the room, and then boiled water and washed rice, busy with her own business, Du An sat in the living room like a big man and watched his TV, without the harassment of her aunt, much more leisurely.

It didn't take long for Shen Huifang to come back, she felt a little strange about her daughter's sudden return, pulled Song Zhen and asked a few words, and then the mother and daughter cooked and cooked, and soon the dishes were ready, and the three of them sat around the table and began to eat dinner.

Du An took a green vegetable and chewed it slowly, looked at Shen Huifang, and didn't know how to speak for a while, but Song Zhen was the first to speak.

"Mom, Aunt Ai came just now. ”

Shen Huifang asked, "What is she doing here?"

Song Zhen rolled his eyes, "What else can you do?" Isn't she just talking to people all day long, this is a princess in ancient times, or the kind with moles on the corners of her mouth. ”

Shen Huifang smiled, then glanced at Du An, and said with concern: "Then do you have a fancy for it?"

Before Du An's mouth could speak, Song Zhen hurriedly said again: "Do you think it's possible? He is now worth hundreds of millions, and he is the big boss of several companies, how can those people that Aunt Ai knows be looked down upon by him?" said and sighed, "Alas, it's better to enter the entertainment industry, I have earned hundreds of millions of family properties in just a few years, and I really don't know how many lifetimes it will take to earn so much money if I become a doctor in the future." ”

Duane understood.

Shen Huifang listened to her daughter's words, and smiled disappreliantly, "This is someone Xiao Du has the ability, do you think anyone can do it? If you go instead, it would be good if the crew wanted you." After being in contact with Duane for a long time, she also knows something from her ignorance of the entertainment industry, and the "crew" knows it.

Du An hurriedly took this opportunity to take over her words and said: "Aunt Shen, Song Zhen looks very good, better than many small stars in the circle, it just so happens that I have a movie ready now, I think she plays a role in it very well." ”

Shen Huifang, who was still smiling just now, had a stunned expression when she heard this, looked at Du An and then at her daughter, and almost sensed the taste inside.

"You ...... This has already been discussed?"

Du An and Song Zhen glanced at each other, and then nodded at Shen Huifang, "Well, I'm here today mainly to discuss this matter with you." ”

Shen Huifang, who just heard her daughter say that she made a lot of money in the entertainment industry and expressed envy, now heard that her daughter was really likely to enter the entertainment industry, her expression was at a loss, and she didn't look happy at all, but her eyes were full of worry.

She didn't eat, put down the chopsticks, looked at Du An, opened her mouth, seemed to want to say something, but she still didn't say it after all, and then turned her head to look at her daughter, and said: "You really think about it? Don't look at Xiao Du He is so easy to succeed and think that this thing is very simple, and it is not easy to do anything, you don't know if you are doing this line of work and plunged into it, which is also too reckless." And I know a little bit about things in the entertainment industry now, unlike before when I didn't know anything, this circle is very chaotic, you are a girl's ......"

Her meaning was very clear, and Du An and Song Zhen both understood.

"If you want me to say it's better to be a doctor, although it doesn't necessarily make a lot of money, but it's stable. And you see those actresses getting married later than the other, if you get in, when will you get married......"

Don't look at Song Zhen when he is next to him, he can speak well, but now when he encounters this situation, he doesn't know what to say, or Du An took over the conversation and said: "Aunt Shen, it is undeniable that there are still some messy phenomena in this circle even now, but with me here, do you think I will make Song Zhen suffer?" He paused and said: "Besides, she has been in this industry for half a year with one foot, isn't it still good now? ”

Song Zhen didn't expect Du An to tell this, he was slightly angry, and glared at Du An several times, but it was inconvenient for Shen Huifang to be present.

"Half a year old?"

Shen Huifang was very surprised, and the worry on her face became more and more obvious.

"yes,"

Duane responded and explained the matter one by one, "About half a year ago, she went to participate in a recruitment ......"

Shen Huifang was not as angry as Song Zhen expected, but looked at her daughter with a distressed face, obviously thinking that she had to work hard in the past six months, busy with theater work, attending classes and studying, and taking the green train back and forth between Nanyang and Shanghai every week.

It's not that she didn't know that her daughter had found a part-time job, but she didn't expect it to be such a part-time job, and it would be so hard.

“…… After the performance of the past six months, Song Zhen has now become the top of their group. Although this is an unpopular theater, and the actors in it are not famous actors, but being able to rise to the top in so many people already shows that she is indeed suitable for this profession, and she is still talented. ”

Duane said: "And I have taken good care of her in the past six months, I didn't let her be bullied or exposed to those messy things, she is just like an ordinary office worker, which also shows that I have the ability to take care of her in this circle." ”

"Finally, it's about getting married. ”

Du An glanced at Shen Huifang and said with a smile: "Aunt Shen, you also said that actresses in this circle get married very late, but why are they late? ”

"As the saying goes, I want my son to become a dragon and my daughter to become a phoenix, Aunt Shen, since you are frugal and have to provide for Song Zhen to go to college, you must also hope that Song Zhen can live a quality life and not reluctantly make do with this life like many girls, right? ”

Without waiting for Shen Huifang to reply, Du An added: "And I didn't let her just run into it like this and not look back, she still continued to study her medicine and just took some spare time to be busy with things in the circle, and the two sides developed together, if you are not happy to be an actor in the future, you can come back to be a doctor, compared to many people, life has more choices, why not?"

In the end, Du An looked at Shen Huifang and asked with a smile, "Aunt Shen, what do you think......?"

When Du Ane left, Song Zhen was "urged" to come out to see him off.

The two of them walked in the alleys at night, the evening breeze was breezy, refreshing, and there seemed to be the fragrance of osmanthus.

A mischievous little boy brushes past Duane's legs, leaving a barrage of laughter that disappears into the wind, carefree and enviable.

Before Du An could finish his emotion, he heard Song Zhen beside him break the peace.

"You can really talk to you, my mother can't talk about you at all. ”

Du An's previous mess fell into the sky and successfully persuaded Shen Huifang to agree to Song Zhen to star in "Truman's World", but she also has one condition, that is, she can't waste her studies - parents always seem to be contradictory, and they feel sorry for their children and ruthlessly force their children to endure hardships for the sake of their future, and they will probably never understand this ambivalence if they are not parents.

Duane smiled: "Parents want their children to live well, and this matter is indeed good for you, so how can she disagree? ”

Song Zhen shook his head and didn't continue on this topic, but asked: "I wanted to ask you a long time ago, why did you ask me to play this time? Haven't you always cooperated with Zhu Qian? She is more beautiful than me, and her acting skills are much better than mine, why don't you look for her and find me?"

"The selection of actors is very complex, there are many factors involved, and it doesn't mean that whoever is competent is looking for whom. Why are I looking for you...... You can refer to a certain girl star girl over the years, I need some new faces. ”

That was said, but the real reason he didn't say.

"A certain girl?"

The topic involved this aspect, and Song Zhen remembered what the boy said to him today, and said it after being silent for a while.

"Many people are saying that the success of "Liberation Day" is completely due to Zhang Yi, and it has little to do with you......"

Duane smiled.

How could he not know such news? Song Zhen was still a euphemism.

"Puppet, huh?" Duane said the word directly, and then shook his head, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is money to be made, I don't care about the rest." ”

In Song Zhen's opinion, this matter may be quite serious and infuriating, but Du An's really doesn't care at all, he cares more about other things.

"To be honest, you're a newcomer after all, and your skills aren't too mature, but luckily there's still time, and we can hold on to it temporarily. I've already given you your character script, I suggest that you don't care about work or daily life in the rest of the time, soak yourself in this role every day, and when the film starts, I'm sure you'll gain something......"

Song Zhen's talent is indeed a bit in his opinion, but it is really limited, but acting in movies is not a very difficult thing, if it is just to reach the passing line, he has a hundred ways to train actors to achieve his goals.

After he explained this, the two of them had already walked to the mouth of the alley, and his car appeared in sight.

Song Zhen also asked the last question, "Do you think the box office of "Liberation Day" can reach 3.8 billion?"

3.8 billion? In other words, it is a question of whether it can surpass "Heroes".

Du An stood at the mouth of Xujia Lane, in front of him was the street with bright lights, the pavement paved with red and yellow floor tiles, a few meters on the left, a Xinjiang man wearing a hat set up a mutton skewer stall, smoke rising, and on the right hand side was a large loudspeaker of a certain store constantly playing "Good news, good news, this store is closed!", the flow of people shuttled, no one paid special attention to the strange man wearing a mask here.

In such a life-like scene, such an incompatible number as "3.8 billion" suddenly appeared, which was really unreal, which made Duane's mind wander for a while in the past when he ate white flour steamed buns in the alley and the junction of the existing time and space, and he felt a sense of not knowing when the night was today.

But he quickly collected his mind, dispelled this illusion of time and space, and said one word: "Yes." Then he waved and smiled at Song Zhen, "Go back, goodbye." With that, he walked in the direction of his car. (To be continued.) )
