Chapter 21: Still a Grandpa?

Synchronous training with freestyle basketball, Lin Mingyang's dancing potential was tapped little by little, even Emily sighed at the speed of his progress, and Kenny Ortega smiled from ear to ear. Lin Mingyang's performance gave him every confidence to end the filming of the film early, which will buy more valuable time for the post-production of the film.

After the "dance" art of several leading actors began to develop, the crew accelerated the filming progress of the film. The daily schedule is full, while not delaying classes, he has to be busy filming, and he has to participate in dance training on weekends, which has become Lin Mingyang's busiest period of time. This busyness finally ended with the arrival of the hot summer, and the crew finally completed all the filming before the long summer vacation.

Counting the post-production and pre-release preparation time, the film will probably be released in early September, before which Kenny Ortega gives all the actors a long vacation. "The Orange County Boys" achieved good ratings after its release on FOX TV, and the other party took the initiative to ask Lin Mingyang to write a script for the second season, and increased the price of each episode of the script by $10,000, so that Lin Mingyang could use this vacation to complete the work.

Before the holiday, producer Acks also talked to Lin Mingyang once, and he was full of interest in the boy found by Kenny Ortega. This was a very pleasant conversation, Ex asked Lin Mingyang about some plans for the future, his idea was to persuade Lin Mingyang to be a professional actor, give up the opportunity to study in college in the future and go directly to Hollywood, Ex can find some suitable roles for him, be an actor, and become famous as soon as possible.

Lin Mingyang regretfully expressed that his parents wanted him to continue to complete his studies, and he himself did not want to miss out on further studies at the university level. As for being famous, Lin Ming** was not worried, the sensation caused by the release of "Youth Musical" was something that neither Ex nor Disney had ever imagined, and the story of Hollywood's overnight success was probably like that.

However, in front of Ex, he still vaguely expressed his willingness to try some different roles, after all, the other party is an executive of Disney Company, and there are still many places that can help him in the future, and he can't talk too much now.

"If you really want to get some useful knowledge in college, I suggest you choose a major related to film and television, of course, there are only two top schools in the United States, either the film department of the University of California, Los Angeles, or the film school of New York University." Ex didn't care too much about Lin Mingyang's previous attitude, but enthusiastically introduced the two schools for him.

"There is not much difference in the strength of these two schools, which makes me a little embarrassed, does Mr. Ex have any good suggestions?" Although Lin Mingyang already had a plan in his heart, he still looked like he was humbly listening to his opinions on the surface.

"I personally recommend NYU Film School because that's my alma mater. You go there, and I can recommend you a couple of good professors, and I guarantee that you will benefit greatly from their knowledge. However, applying for film school is not easy, and of course you still have two years to prepare, which should not be difficult for you! ”

UCLA occupies a favorable location in Hollywood, and Lin Mingyang originally thought that Exx would recommend him there, but he didn't expect him to coincide with his own ideas, which made Lin Mingyang have to reconsider the relationship with Ex.

Ex told Lin Mingyang some interesting stories about himself in school, at this time he seemed to have regarded Lin Mingyang as his little junior brother, and when the small talk was almost over, he suddenly mentioned another thing.

"Felix, you've had specialized martial arts training before?"

"No?" Lin Mingyang looked at him confused.

"Really?" Ex didn't seem to believe Lin Mingyang's answer, "I see that when you first received dance training, your movements were simple and powerful, and the first feeling I had was that you had received relevant training!" ”

Ex's words made Lin Mingyang slightly stunned, in fact, he himself found this problem, at first he thought it was a habit of playing often, but later found that other teammates started to practice at about the same time as him, but whether it was in terms of physical fitness or reflexes, he was superior. This led him to suspect that Felix had received some kind of special training when he was a child, but he didn't find any record of it in the chronicles.

"Maybe I'm overthinking!" Ex saw that Lin Mingyang's expression didn't seem to be fake, and he didn't dig into the bottom of it, who doesn't have a little secret in his heart?

Ex just asked casually, but Lin Mingyang took this matter to heart. When he returned, he carefully flipped through Felix's early journals, but still found nothing. He rummaged through the drawers, but found no earlier notice, but the noise in the room caught the attention of his mother, Catherine.

She knocked on the door and saw that Lin Mingyang's room floor was full of books, and couldn't help asking, "Felix, are you looking for something?" ”

"A book I've read before, but now I don't know where I'm stuffing it." Lin Mingyang casually made up a reason, and he kept rummaging in his hand.

"There's one thing I want to tell you!" Catherine hesitated, "About this summer vacation!" ”

"Fox TV gave me a new contract, and I had to hand over the script to them during the holidays!" Lin Mingyang thought that his mother had arranged other things for him.

"But that's not what I'm trying to say!" Catherine shook her head, she looked at her son who was busy in the stacks of books on the floor, "I heard that your grandfather has been sick during this time, but he and I can't leave because of work problems, so we hope you can go to Canada during the holidays and stay with grandpa!" ”

"Canada? Grandfather? Lin Mingyang raised his head in a daze, he realized that he was patronizing to deal with his parents, and almost forgot that there were other relatives and friends, he was stunned all of a sudden, where did this grandfather come from, how could this person never appear in Felix's notes?

Catherine seemed to have expected Lin Mingyang's reaction a long time ago, she squeezed her hands in embarrassment, and said, "I know you don't want to go to grandpa's, to be honest, he didn't welcome us very much before, but your dad has already spoken to him on the phone, I think you have to go over this holiday!" ”

Lin Mingyang could see from her mother's expression that she should be strongly opposed to this matter, the relationship between her grandfather and her mother, who was not mentioned in Felix's words, seemed to be not so harmonious, what happened in this? He couldn't help but ask, "Do you have to go?" ”

"I know you have very painful memories of that experience as a child, but your dad promised me that he wouldn't treat you like that again, that you just had to stay there for a month and then be back right away!" Catherine looked helplessly at Lin Mingyang in the room, "And you're grown up now, you won't be at his mercy anymore, will you?" ”

I have never heard my parents talk about this grandfather who is far away in Canada, and the only group photo in the family can not find the figure of this old man, all kinds of signs indicate that the relationship between the family is very estranged, especially the mother Catherine said as if she wanted Lin Mingyang to go through some hardships, which aggravated Lin Mingyang's doubts.

And Catherine also inadvertently mentioned things when she was a child, could it be that her grandfather did something to herself that was difficult for her mother to accept? Thinking that the peculiarities of his body were probably necessarily related to Felix's experience when he was a child, Lin Mingyang was not only full of curiosity about his grandfather, whom he had never met.

"I can go!" Lin Mingyang stood up from the pile of books, "But did Dad tell Grandpa about that, there are some things in the past, I may not remember clearly!" ”

Lin Mingyang accepted this matter so calmly, which surprised Catherine a little, could it really be because of amnesia that she forgot about the previous things? Thinking of this, she was a little worried about how Lin Mingyang would be able to stay in Canada for this month.

Compared with his mother's worries, Lin Mingyang seemed a little excited, he completely regarded this as an unexpected trip, he heard that Canada's natural scenery is good, there are ready-made opportunities, and there is no loss in going to it.

In the evening, he posted the news through MSN, and was quickly replied to by others online. Meghan is going to Hollywood for another TV series audition during the holidays, and then to New York for a fashion model audition.

Rhett still spends the summer at his father's gas station, and he wants to say goodbye to this boring job, and the only possibility is for him to apply to a college far from home.

After hastily replying to Lin Mingyang, Red was busy playing games, but Megan chatted with him online for a long time, and the two hardly had time to see each other during the holidays, so they could only complain to each other through the Internet. It wasn't until the parents on both sides urged the two to sleep that they reluctantly went offline, and then hid in the quilt and made a long phone porridge.

At night, Lin Mingyang had a strange dream, he dreamed that he had become a thin little boy, and he was chased by a strange old man with a stick and fled in all directions, and finally he was frightened to wake up.
