Chapter 995: "My Three Mothers"
After leaving the castle tower, Ji Shangluo went downstairs directly to his mother's room.
He wanted to talk to his mother about his Yuanfu mission, maybe it would make her happier.
Of course, I can also learn some valuable lessons from my mother.
"Knock~Knock~~"
Hepburn, who was fiddling with his head in the house, heard the sound of prying the door outside and said, "Come in!"
"Gala ~ Gala ~ "
Open the door ~ Close the door ~ Ji Shangluo enters the room.
"Mother~" Chi Shangluo greeted respectfully.
Hepburn retracted his gaze from his head in satisfaction, turned to his son, and looked the corners of his mouth up and down with a smile.
The most satisfying thing in her life is her son, who is smart, well-behaved and obedient, and most importantly, very handsome.
"My son is such a handsome guy. What's the matter with coming to my mother?"
Hepburn said casually, and then ordered the butterfly spirit that landed on his shoulder to pour a glass of sugar water for his son.
Over the years, although she has not made much progress in cultivation, she has barely broken through the second grade by relying on Chi Shang's true intentions. But my experience has increased a lot, and I have gained a lot of knowledge.
Now she can treat creatures that ordinary people don't know about, such as demons, monsters, and spirits, with a normal heart. I won't be so frightened when I first saw it.
This butterfly essence was given to her by Chi Shang Zhenyi when she got married, and the battle is not particularly strong, but it is particularly prominent in terms of healing and illusion, and it is now at the beginning of the fourth grade.
She likes this Shishen very much, and she usually doesn't put it in the scroll, so she puts it outside to accompany herself.
Taking the sugar water brought by the butterfly essence, Chi Shangluo nodded in thanks. He still has a lot of respect for his mother, the Shikigami.
Taking a sip of sugar water, Chi Shangluo said, "Mother, just now my father called me over to arrange the Yuanfu task for me." ”
"You're going to be in the end of the year, it's only April now, and there are still seven months left, why is he in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, Hepburn's brows furrowed unnaturally.
Although she usually lives a very casual life, she doesn't like to compete for fame and fortune, and she is also very indifferent. But that doesn't mean she's weak, she also has a temper.
Everything else is easy to say, but the son's business cannot be compromised.
The other children in the family were told about the Yuanfu mission two or three months in advance, and now his son was told seven months in advance, does this mean that this Yuanfu mission will be very difficult? If this is the case, she will go upstairs and talk to Chi Shangzhenyi.
Why is she so bullying, bullying her all her life doesn't count, and now she has to treat her son differently?
Suppressing the thoughts that were flashing rapidly in his mind, Hepburn's voice was a little cold: "What kind of yuan service task did your father arrange for you, is it difficult?"
"If you're not sure, tell your mother, I'll go and tell him to make it easier. ”
Looking at his mother's frowning appearance, Chi Shangluo was startled, he didn't dare to let his parents make trouble because of him.
hurriedly explained: "The Yuanfu task arranged by the mother and father for the child is not too difficult, but it requires some preliminary preparation, so I will tell the child so much time in advance." ”
"And the child's Yuanfu mission this time is also related to your mother, and I need your support and help. ”
Hearing that Chi Shang really didn't embarrass his son, Hepburn's pretty eyebrows slowly calmed down.
Now when I heard my son say that there was something about me here, I immediately became interested and said, "Is there anything else about me here?" ”
Seeing his mother's attitude recover, Chi Shangluo breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately repeating the conversation between father and son when they were in the castle tower.
“…… The father hopes that through the child's Yuanfu mission, he can compensate for his mother's wish. ”
After speaking, Chi Shangluo stopped squeaking and waited quietly for his mother to ponder.
Hepburn was a little confused now, she didn't expect that the domineering man would actually say this to her son, which surprised her.
In her heart, although this man will please his women, he is very proud in his bones, and he generally does not bow his head.
Now that I have said this to my son, it shows that he really loves himself.
Thinking of this, Hepburn couldn't help but show a sweet smile on his face, and his mood brightened by three points.
To be honest, she used to hate this man who shattered her hopes and ruined her life.
She hated the other party for being domineering and ruthless, and she could have let their mother and daughter go, but she said some excuses to detain them, detain them in the house, use time to kill their will, and finally forcibly married her.
These thoughts were haunted in her heart until she got married, and it was not until she had a son that she gradually improved.
Later, after time and slow polishing, she found that although the other party was more domineering and caring, he was a real man.
He treats every woman with sincerity and pity. She could feel it.
Slowly, she let go of the knot, no longer cared about the past, and devoted herself to being each other's women, and the relationship between the two became better and better.
But in the deepest part of Hepburn's heart, she actually still has regrets.
This regret is not for the future of his life, but for the artistic career he once longed for.
She has been particularly fond of acting since she was a child, and acting is a kind of life show for Hepburn.
So she especially likes to be on stage, to be under the spotlight. That would make her happy.
However, after marrying Chi Shang Zhenyi, these are impossible, and the East is beautiful for women who are introverted and dignified.
Men don't want their women to show their heads too much, which would be unseemly.
She is willing to abide by this, although she loves to perform, she does not want to let her husband lose face and disgrace the family because of her own reasons.
To sum up, she is a very pure woman, and once she truly falls in love with a man, she will sacrifice herself for the other person.
Now that she heard her son relay what her husband said, she felt that her years had not been in vain, and that bad man had seen it in her heart.
She was very happy about this, even happier than she was to be able to participate in her son's movie.
His mind was chaotic, and it took a long time for Hepburn to come back to his senses.
Then he said in a brisk voice: "In other words, the task that your father gave you is to perform a movie that is recognized by the audience, right?"
"Hi~ is such a mother. I don't know why, Ji Shangluo felt that his mother's smile was a little strange.
"Well, film is a profound art, and it requires careful study to grasp the deep meaning. ”
"Now it seems that giving you more than seven months is a bit less, but with my mother's subsidy, you will definitely succeed in performing as a good son. ”
I haven't talked about movies for many years, and Hepburn is full of interest when he talks about it, from the characters in the script, to the characteristics of the characters, to the live play, he said it all one by one.
In the end, Kenn felt that it didn't make sense with Ji Shangluo, and ordered the butterfly spirit to call Monroe next door to discuss it together.
Although the two had some minor awkwardness back then, the relationship between the two has long since returned to normal after all these years.
After all, they were 'trafficked' together, and it is inevitable to cherish each other.
In addition, the two used to be actors, and they also had a lot of topics to talk about with each other.
After Monroe joined, Hepburn chatted even more, and directly threw his son aside and ignored it.
The more they chatted about this movie, the more they had ideas, and the more they chatted, the more they had their own plans.
In the end, because the disagreement was too big to convince anyone, there was no choice but to call Taylor over, and the three of them worked on the film project together.
Three women who have been silent for movies for many years have a very heated discussion, as if they are the protagonists.
Everyone has their own ideas, and no one cares about the real hero.
Chi Shangluo, who was kneeling at the bottom, watched the argument between his mother and the two aunts, and his face showed helplessness.
He now suddenly feels that his father has made the right and wise decision not to let his mother and aunt be actors.
After some in-depth talks, the three daughters finally decided to hold a script contest to select an excellent script for their son.
At the same time, in order to escort his son and let him increase his acting experience, the three of them will start to learn acting for him from today.
Of course, as mothers and aunts, they will also participate in the whole process of supervising and checking for their sons. Strive to achieve the most complete task of the yuan server.
Faced with the decision of the three mothers, Chi Shangluo had no room for resistance, so he could only accept it with a smile.
Now he can already think about what his life will be like in the next seven months, which is absolutely 'miserable'.
Working with three moms who are addicted to drama, it's strange not to be tired to death. Thinking of his tragic ending, Ji Shangluo burst into tears in his heart.
In mid-April 1973, the Sakura Group's print media suddenly announced that a "Screenwriters' Contest" would be held, and the screenplays of the selected candidates would be bought out at a minimum price of one million yen.
In addition, the script that won the first place will be directly made into a movie, and it will be released that year to meet the whole public.
The news of the Sakura Group is no less than a cannonball for the literary world, and it directly stimulates a group of literati who rely on the pen to eat, and they are all gearing up to prepare for the game.
They must seize this kind of opportunity, and when they become famous, they will become masters.
In the anticipation of a group of literati, the organizing committee of Sakura Group finally announced the proposition of the competition a week later.
The script must feature a twelve-year-old boy as the protagonist, it must contain love and affection, it must contain three important foreign heroines, it must have a positive orientation, and it must have ......
This 'must' made a group of literati who were excited to prepare for the competition stunned, followed by a burst of condemnation.
The literati denounced that the Sakura Organizing Committee had too many restrictions, and completely locked the writing ideas into a small range.
This is too limited for their creation, and even if they do, it is a story that lacks activity.
In the face of the literati's condemnation, the organizing committee ignored it at all and let it shout.
A picture of the attitude of loving to participate or not participating, with you five or eight without you forty. There are not many other people, but there are the most poor literati.
Moreover, this contest is jointly organized by the three chairmen's wives, who dares to change the decision?
And that's what people are all about, don't look at the shouting loudly on the surface, you can't tell what's going on behind the scenes.
Even many people shouted slogans while hoping that others would withdraw from the competition. It's dirty~~~
In the face of the cold treatment of the organizing committee, a group of poor and sour literati slowly fell silent, and then became honest and obediently wrote 'inactive stories'.
Pride can't afford to eat, and face can't fill the ticket.
Under the powerful money offensive, these literati silently lost their temperance and nested at home to write scripts and stories.
It doesn't matter if it has soul activity or not, as long as it has money.
The hot script contest has attracted the attention of many people and paid attention to the progress of the competition.
After a month of intense creation, a total of 2,844 scripts were submitted to the competition.
After another week of preliminary selection, 300 scripts stood out and entered the semi-finals.
At this point, the judges were replaced by Hepburn, Monroe, and Taylor.
Each of the three reviewed a hundred scripts and selected five shortlisted scripts.
Then the three of them handed over the five shortlisted scripts they each selected to Chi Shangluo, especially one of them as the shooting script.
During the whole process, Chi Shangluo exercised his rights in the final stage, and watched the whole time the rest of the time.
Although he was quite helpless, he was already very satisfied.
At least his mother and aunts gave him a little choice, and they didn't let him accompany him the whole time, which was already very good.
Chi Shangluo, the fifteen-point script sent by his mother and aunts, read it carefully, and had to admit that the scripts that could be sent to him were very good, and the stories were very interesting and attractive.
With so many good stories, he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing how to choose.
I hesitated until the day before the announcement of the dismissal from the competition, and finally made a decision and chose a script called "I Have Three Moms".
The story is about a boy's father who accidentally gets drunk from a clubbing club when he is young, and has a wonderful encounter with three blonde beauties for a night.
Afterwards, three foreign beauties returned to the United States, and one of them unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant, and after some hesitation, gave birth to the child. Then the three women raised their son together and became his mother together.
It wasn't until the boy was 12 years old that his father, who was in Tsumoto, learned before his death that he had a son who had been left in exile and hoped that he would return to inherit his family property.
The boy was confused and upset about this letter written by his father before he died. He didn't know how to choose, and it wasn't until his three mothers enlightened and persuaded him that he really faced the reality. Decided to return to Suzumoto to inherit his father's estate.
However, he was stopped by the boy's distant cousin, who wanted to inherit his uncle's family property. So they tried every possible means to kill the boy and wanted to kill him.
Faced with his dying father, his malicious distant cousin, and his mother's encouragement, the boy finally punished the vicious distant cousin and sent him to prison. Then he inherited the inheritance left by his father and continued to live happily with his three mothers.
The ending of the script is a happy ending of a happy reunion, where the bad guys are punished and the good guys live happily ever after.
Although the script is not bad, it takes a very capable director to really make it successful.
For this reason, the third daughter specially instructed Kojima to invite Akira Kurosawa. It was up to him to shoot this movie to escort Chi Shangluo.
