While the adults are busy visiting this miniature version of the Palace of Versailles. The two children ran to play with the sika deer, the sika deer was not afraid of people, and the two big eyes were watery, as docile as sheep.

Yan'er took out two pieces of beautifully packaged Swiss chocolate from her pocket, peeled them off carefully, and fed them to the sika deer, Xiaobei was just about to say that the deer didn't eat this, but how did you know that a sika deer stretched out his head and ate the chocolate with the package, chewing a few times in his mouth, revealing a strange expression.

Behind the iron fence a few meters away, an old man in his fifties and sixties with a boy was squatting on the ground shoveling weeds.

"That's the young master and young lady of Chairman Chen's family." The old man didn't raise his head with a small shovel, "Gen, in the next life, if you are born to a good family, you can also live a life of eating and drinking spicy food." ”

The boy stared at Xiaobei and Yan'er and sniffled.

Xiaobei found this boy of his own age and walked over to look at him across the railing.

"What's your name?" Xiaobei asked.

"Poplar roots." The boy bowed his head.

Xiaobei suddenly ran back, took a piece of chocolate from his sister's hand, stretched out his hand over the railing, and spread it in front of the poplar root.

The poplar roots are not connected.

In front of the villa, the servant shouted, "Young master, young lady, the master has called." ”

Xiaobei bent down and put the chocolate on the ground and said, "This is foreign sugar, but it's delicious." Then he pulled Yan'er and ran away.

After a while, Yang Shugen was picking up the piece of chocolate, carefully breaking off a small piece and putting it in his mouth, and a wonderful taste that had never been seen before permeated his mouth, making him feel like a cloud.

"Gen'er, what delicious food did the young master give?" The old man asked.

Yang Shugen broke off a piece for the old man to taste, and the old man smacked his lips and said: "A bitter taste, what kind of thing, rich people eat such things." Grunted and walked away.

Looking at the white marble palace shaded by green trees in the distance, the poplar root secretly swore that when I had a chance, I would eat black sugar gnocchi every day.

……

Chen Zikun held a family meeting and announced that this is a new home, and he will live here for at least half a year in the future, and the ladies are naturally very dissatisfied.

"Our family doesn't engage in zhuanzhi, whoever wants to live can live wherever they want, Beiping, Nanjing, provincial capitals, Shanghai, Beitai, anyway, there are houses, you can go wherever you like." Chen Zikun didn't want the ladies to live together, there was nothing else to do all day long, just bickering, and he even suspected that some emperors in ancient times died early, and they were forced to die by the harem for favor.

Xia Xiaoqing was the first to say: "We are used to being at home all over the world, where are we not living, I will accompany the master, you go to Shanghai." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yao Yilei and Jianbing could not show weakness, and they both expressed their willingness to live in Beitai.

"We've got to get the department store up quickly." This is one of Yao Yilei's requests.

Jianbing also said that Beitai is not popular, and it is not fun to be deserted.

Chen Zikun said: "Rome was not built in a day, give me ten years, and keep the North Tai bigger than the provincial city, and it is still magnificent." ”

……

The family lived like this, Chen Zikun still ran around, and rushed to Nanjing for a meeting after not staying in Beitai for a few days, and when the meeting was dismissed, Liu Ting helped him sort out the documents, but found the manuscript of "Lang Ziyanqing", flipped through it at random, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Chairman Chen is very literate." ”

Chen Zikun was proud in his heart, but he said with fake modesty: "Where, where, write and play nonsense." ”

Liu Ting said: "The plot is compact, the characters are distinct, and the length is just right to make a movie, hey, it's quite appropriate to make a script." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, although there are many movies now, but the good and the bad are mixed, and there is a lack of wonderful scripts, I think if this manuscript is sold by those film companies in Shanghai, it will definitely be rushed."

Liu Ting's words gave Chen Zikun a lot of confidence, and he was just going to Shanghai to contact an imported machine and equipment, and he could really make a movie, which was also a good thing.

The dignified central officer, like a shabby literati to sell the script, Chen Zikun felt very shameless, specially wore a bamboo cloth gown, did not bring a gun, did not bring bodyguards, and Liu Ting, together with Liu Ting, took the manuscript to the most famous star film company in Shanghai.

Within five minutes, the two were politely sent out, and they said that they had no plans to invest in costume films recently, and asked them to find another way.

Chen Zikun was a little discouraged, but Liu Ting said that there were so many film companies in Shanghai that it was better to find a few more to try.

So I went to Lianhua Pictures, Great China Lily Film Company, and Yihua Film Company, all of which were closed, and no one was interested in a script describing the heroes of Liangshan, and the one with the best attitude was only willing to spend five yuan to buy the manuscript as a reserve.

Chen Zikun was very depressed, and went back sullenly, and it happened that Li Yaoting invited him to participate in his son's double full moon, and went to the banquet with strong spirits.

"Brother, I was hit today." Chen Zikun laughed self-deprecatingly, and said this as a joke, everyone laughed, Li Yaoting said: "It's not that Brother Kun is not good at writing, it's that those guys have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I will find dozens of brothers and smash them one by one, so that they can know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has." ”

Mu Yichen said: "These people who make movies are very impetuous, how can they calm down to read the script, and besides, they all have special playwrights to tailor scripts for the stars, Chairman Chen doesn't have to mind, do you have the manuscript, show me." ”

Chen Zikun took out the manuscript, Mu Yichen looked through it, whispered a few words to Che Qiuling, and said: "The story is very exciting, since they don't want to shoot, why don't we shoot it ourselves?" ”

Li Yaoting slapped his thigh: "Yes, what is it to make a movie, isn't it just throwing money at the corners, I heard that this industry not only makes money quickly, but also plays female stars, haha." ”

Mrs. Li is a well-read lady, graduated from the women's school, and she can't help but glance at him when she hears her husband say such vulgar words.

Li Yaoting didn't take it seriously, and said: "I said seriously, let's also encourage a film company to play tricks, and it can be regarded as a legitimate business." ”

Everyone hit it off and clamored for Chen Zikun to take the lead and become the chairman.

Chen Zikun took the lead and named the company with the strength of the wine: "What kind of star are they, let's call it Purple Star Pictures, red and purple, how about it?" ”

Everyone applauded.

In this way, a new film company was established, with Chen Zikun as the chairman and Li Yaoting as the general manager, who applied for a license at the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the Concession, rented an office, ordered film cameras from the United States, a full set of studio services such as lighting and sound, and hired photographers and directors from Hollywood with high salaries, and worked with great fanfare.

Since Purple Star Pictures advertised on the declaration, a large number of young boys and girls have come to apply, almost breaking the threshold, seeing that the corridor is crowded with young people with star dreams, Chen Zikun feels that he has made the right move, film is still an emerging industry in China, which can not only make money, but also play a role in educating society.

The primary selection eliminated a group of applicants with crooked melons and cracked dates, and the rest were young men and women with a high primary school education level or above, with clear eyebrows, but when the audition was made, Chen Zikun was disappointed, one was more rigid and pretentious than the other, exaggerated and sold Chinese and did not pronounce the standard, it was really intolerable, such a kind of goods, running tricks are not qualified, let alone playing the protagonist.

No way, good actors have been signed by major film companies, what Jin Yan, Zhu Fei, Lei Xiadian, Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu and the like, even if they have money, they can't dig it up.

When he was at a loss, suddenly a telegram was placed in front of Chen Zikun, saying that the Jiangyang thief Yan Qingyu had been arrested again, and asked the chairman to give instructions on how to send it.

Chen Zikun laughed, it didn't take much effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it, isn't there a male protagonist.

……

Yan Qingyu was caught when she sent the blind girl Xiaoxiu home, the German doctor's medical skills were very clever, the operation was quite successful, Xiaoxiu regained her sight, she was grateful to Yan Daxia, crying and shouting to repay him with a personal promise, Yan Qingyu relaxed her vigilance as soon as she was excited, and was arrested in the courtyard of Xiaoxiu's house.

This time, the Jiangdong Police Department will not give him another opportunity to take advantage of it, and send special personnel to guard it strictly, the handcuffs and shackles are all welded, and it takes two hours to file a file, Yan Qingyu knows that this time he is really planted.

Three days later, a team of policemen came to pick him up, pulled him out of the dark death row, put him in a car and drove to the suburbs, Yan Qingyu thought he was going to shoot himself, and wanted to shout what to say that he would be a good man after eighteen years, but there was not even a window in this stuffy car, let alone the crowds of spectators on the roadside along the way.

This made him very depressed, and he said that Lao Tzu was famous, but he was collapsed so quietly, which was really aggrieved.

The car bumped for half an hour and drove to the place, a horse in the open space, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an execution ground, Yan Qingyu was escorted to a plane, which made him excited and scared, excited because he had never been to the sky before, and he was afraid that he was worried that the police department would execute him in a different way, and it would not be a mud to be thrown from the sky.

The plane took off slowly for four hours, arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, and after landing, a green truck drove over, and Yan Qingyu was escorted to the truck, which was full of soldiers wearing steel helmets and khaki uniforms, which made him feel like he was falling into a fog.

The final destination is a bungalow in the concession, and there are a few sturdy men in top hats and trench coats standing in front of the door.

Yan Qingyu was led into a luxurious room covered with carpets and oil paintings, shackles dragged on the soft carpet without a sound, Chen Zikun sat by the fireplace and raised his glass to him: "See you again, Yan Daxia." ”

"Give me a glass of wine to drink, my mouth is dying." Yan Qingyu said with a big grin.

Chen Zikun said: "Don't be busy drinking, there are two ways in front of you now, first, accept the punishment of the law, I estimate that according to your crime, the execution will be light, at least five minutes of shooting; Second, sign this contract for me, and from then on you will be a contracted actor of Shanghai Purple Star Film Company, how about it, which path do you choose, give you a minute to think about it. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "I'll choose the first one." ”

Chan wondered, "Why? ”

Yan Qingyu said: "I'm upright in life and can't act. ”
