Chapter 20: The Journey
In the second year of the Republic of China, the train from the capital to the magic capital was opened, with one train a week.
Since then, this train has become the most crowded train in the country.
The Spring Festival of later generations cannot be compared at all in this era.
Zhou Zhen saw with his own eyes that on the roof of the train, there were people sitting on it.
The maximum speed of the train does not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and then the large and small platforms stop, and the stop time is not short at each station.
Everywhere you go, you can buy local agricultural and sideline products and snacks on the platform.
When they got on the train, Zhou Zhen and the others carried a lot of snacks, and food and hot water were served on the train, but all the food was Western food.
A variety of seafood, salmon, lobster are commonplace, and steaks are served.
Everywhere they went, they bought baskets of fruit and shared food with each other.
Bai Xiuzhu was like a fish in water on this occasion, and soon became familiar with a group of noble ladies, except for sleeping, just chatting with them.
Xiao Lian has always been very obedient by Zhou Zhen's side, not stealing the limelight from Bai Xiuzhu.
When Jiang Ma saw this harmonious scene, although the journey was a little uncomfortable, she always had a kind smile on her face.
She is Mrs. King's nanny since she was a child, ten years older than Mrs. King, unmarried all her life, and is sixty years old this year.
The brothers and sisters of the Jin family, she treats them like her own children.
This time, Zhou Zhen went to the magic capital to settle down, and she followed to help Zhou Zhen settle down in a new home.
The Jin family was originally from Jiangnan, and Jiang's mother was also from Jiangnan, so she didn't think about returning to the capital when she came to the magic capital this time.
The four-day and four-night train is not so easy to stay up, even if it is a first-class carriage, after a long time, the legs will be swollen.
As soon as Jiang's mother passed Tianjin, her legs were swollen, and she couldn't bear to say it at first, but then she couldn't help it.
Zhou Zhen treated her as an elder and helped her massage without disgust, which attracted the admiration of fellow travelers in the carriage.
Jiang's mother was also moved to tears, and she was even closer to Zhou Zhen, her favorite Xiaoqi.
This is just a small episode, in addition to chatting with a group of noble ladies, Bai Xiuzhu's favorite thing to do is to get tired of Zhou Zhen and show her closeness to Zhou Zhen in front of other women.
Although he couldn't enjoy it, it did let Zhou Zhen enjoy the happiness of leaning on the red and green.
The 21-year-old China is really backward, and it is in tatters everywhere, even in the cities, it looks dilapidated.
Moreover, because the country was not yet completely stable, medical care in this era was very backward, and various diseases were rampant.
Beneath the beautiful natural beauty, all kinds of viruses and parasites are hidden.
Even with the beautiful natural scenery, not many people dare to travel everywhere.
On the afternoon of the third day of the journey, the train arrived at Pukou, where everyone had to get off the train, take a ferry into Jinling, and then change trains.
Because it was not early, everyone would stay in Jinling for one night and go to the magic capital early the next morning.
Zhou Zhen really wanted to see the Qinhuai River in this era, but unfortunately the weather was unlucky, and it rained heavily when they crossed the river.
At this time, the Jinling Railway Station was located in Xiaguan on the south bank of the Yangtze River, adjacent to the Yangtze River, and some distance from the city.
After some hesitation, they stayed at the hotel next to the train station, not wanting to toss any more.
Spending three days on the trip, Zhou Zhen has been consulting the development of films in this era in addition to socializing.
Today's film development can be said to be extremely backward, not only in China, but also in Europe and Hollywood.
Domestic movie stars are now all men, and most of them are played by actors.
Five years ago, that is, in 16 years, the first generation of filmmakers Li Mingwei filmed a movie "Zhuangzi Tries a Wife", in which he played Zhuangzi's wife, and his wife Yan Shanshan appeared in the camera and played his maidservant.
At that time, the major media caused a sensation, believing that women entering the screen were willing to be indecent.
However, public opinion can't meet the needs of the people, and since then, women have begun to enter the film industry, but most of them are a few women and Hua Dan from the theater, and there are few important roles.
Taking Zhou Zhen's current identity Jin Yanxi as an example, his current lover Qiu Xizhen is a movie star on the surface, but he is actually an oiran.
As for Ruan Lingyu, Hu Die, and Zhou Xuan, who were well known in later generations, some of them were just born, and some were not born yet.
Zhou Zhen does not have their previous movie actresses as a reference, and there are no other candidates except for one Qiu Xizhen.
Therefore, he decided to follow the example of wireless in later generations, and after arriving in the magic capital, he held a beauty contest, and then selected ten beauties as the future team of the film company.
In order to organize this beauty pageant, he had to make a sound plan.
On the other hand, today's movies are simply too backward.
Now the film is still in the silent film era, and there is no clear division of labor in later generations.
When he was in the Overworld, he had read an article. Wang Hanlun, one of the first generation of actresses, bought a camera in his own home, took three supporting roles, and shot a movie.
The movie was set up on the table by her, locked a scene, and after she started it, she participated in it with others, and then edited it herself.
There was no makeup, no lighting, no scenery, just a storytelling plot.
That's it, this movie also has a lot of influence, relying on this movie, Wang Hanlun has lived a good life for a few years.
Of course, Zhou Zhen's purpose is not to make such a movie, he is an actor in the new century and has participated in two movies.
The production of movies far exceeds that of people in today's era.
So, he wanted to bring advanced experience to this plane from the beginning.
The dialogue script does not need to be considered for the time being, but the plot script, the storyboard script, in this regard, he is ready to standardize it from the beginning.
There are also lighting, videography, scenery, makeup, etc., all of which have to form theoretical things for others to learn.
Sorting out this information from the inside of your mind is also a tedious job, and besides, you can't be lazy.
"Young master, hot water is here."
Zhou Zhen, who was sitting at the table, saw Xiao Lian come in, and her wet hair was wrapped in a towel.
"You're done?"
"The young grandmother is washing, and Mother Jiang is serving her. I'll help you soak your feet first to make it comfortable. Lift your feet......"
Zhou Zhen lifted his foot, Xiao Lian squatted down, held his foot in his arms, took off his socks, put them in the hot water basin, and rubbed his slender jade fingers lightly.
In the future, unless you are in the foot-washing city, you will not be able to enjoy such a thoughtful service from your wife.
Zhou Zhen's physique far exceeds that of ordinary people, Jiang Ma seems to have lost half her life during the journey, and everyone else is tired, but Zhou Zhen does not feel tired at all.
However, I didn't soak my feet for three days, and it was very comfortable to soak in hot water at this time.
"The young grandmother was a little unhappy when she saw the beauty pageant plan. She is afraid that if you see too many beautiful girls, she will empathize and fall in love. ”
Zhou Zhen smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
Little mercy shook her head. "Don't be afraid."
"Why not be afraid? Aren't you afraid that young master, I will be seduced by other women? ”
Xiao Ren raised her head, and her big charming eyes were particularly bright. "Young master, you don't get tired of the new, as long as you have me in your heart, I'm not afraid."
Zhou Zhen felt extremely comfortable, put down the pen in his hand, and touched her little face. "Don't worry, I won't just go to the house to take people, even if I get it, I need your consent to lead it in."
Xiao Ren rubbed her face in Zhou Zhen's palm like a kitten. "I'm just a concubine, so I don't care about this, as long as the young master lets me serve for the rest of my life."
Zhou Zhen looked at the beds in the room, and the bedding in the hotel was all lifted and replaced with the ones they brought.
However, this double bed is only less than one meter and five wide, and it is okay to sleep two people, but three people are a little crowded.
"I wronged you for one night today, and when I arrived in the magic capital, I will serve you well, young master."
"Don't, you...... Improper ......"
Zhou Zhen laughed proudly, not to mention, like Xiao Lian and Bai Xiuzhu, who accept advanced ideas and have the docile character of a traditional woman, is really charming.
Based on this alone, it is definitely a good choice to pick up girls in this era.
Although you can enjoy docile women back in ancient times, the gap between the times is too great, and there is no place for spiritual resonance!
After helping Zhou Zhen wash his feet, Xiao Lian went out with water, and Zhou Zhen took back his energy to improve his plan.
After a while, Bai Xiuzhu also came back from washing, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked Xiao Lian to help her rub her undried hair. "Don't be in a hurry to write, go wash up, I've been sitting in the car for three days, and my body smells rancid."
Xiao Lian also said: "Young master, the guards are guarding the bathroom, and Mother Jiang is waiting for you over there." You're going to wash it, so you can let someone else do it. ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Zhen suppressed the written information and said to Bai Xiuzhu: "You can read it if you want, don't mess up what I wrote." Don't think about it, your husband and I can't be seduced by random wildflowers. ”
Bai Xiuzhu was in a good mood, and gave him a charming look and said, "What if it's a fresh and beautiful wildflower?" ”
Xiao Lian said: "Young grandmother, Mother Jiang said: This man is a kite, as long as the thread is in his hand, he can toss it as much as he wants." One thing you have to keep in mind is that you should never let the thread break. I'm going to get underwear for the young master......"
Bai Xiuzhu grabbed her. "Xiao Lian, don't worry about him, you are busy before and after, also hurry up and rest, let him wash alone."
Xiao Lian looked at Zhou Zhen and then at Bai Xiuzhu, and decided not to offend the young grandmother first.
If he offends the young master, he won't be angry, but if he offends the young grandmother, life will be difficult.
Therefore, she just hesitated for a moment, and then firmly stood on Bai Xiuzhu's side.
"Yo, gang up to deal with me, when you get to the magic capital, see if I can't clean up the two of you."
Thinking of the absurdity of the newlywed days, Bai Xiuzhu was ashamed, she never thought that when she was so embarrassed, not to mention face, her inside was ruined by Zhou Zhen.
Holding Xiao Pian's hand, she seemed to have something to rely on. "The two of us will be in the same camp from now on, we have to suck you dry!"
As soon as she said this, she blushed herself, and Xiao Lian also laughed.
Zhou Zhen went out proudly, and his heart was very happy. Find her a group of uncertain opponents, and she really got closer to Xiao Lian......
(The mood is not normal, the story is not written smoothly these days, I am a little sorry for everyone, I will adjust it as soon as possible.) )
