Chapter 382 Visiting Teacher Chen
"Is this it?"
The vehicle drove into the central area of the villa. Lu Ze put down the window and poked his head out. In front of him was a group of villas that were well spaced. The style was older than the newly built villas today, but the Chinese-style park facilities were full of antique charm. If you don’t look at the geographical location and the price that can prohibit ordinary wealthy people, it is indeed a good place to retire.
Finally, the car stopped outside a villa in the southeast corner. Lao Song unbuckled his seat belt, walked outside the gate, and pressed the video intercom at the door. The piano played three times, and an old woman connected the video.
"Master Wife, I'm here to see you."
"It's Xiaoyuan, come in, come in, I haven't seen you for a while."
The electric door is open, and the first thing you see is a long row of grape vines. The grapes are not in season this month, so they are probably a bit sour, so no one is picking them. Big bunches of purple grapes are hanging on the vines for everyone to see. One look makes your mouth water.
After entering the courtyard, Lu Ze also saw the flower garden shed that he had once envied. Various treasures were blooming inside. Even through the glass, there seemed to be a faint fragrance entering Lu Ze's nose, which made people energetic. Call it a comfort.
Behind the greenhouse is a huge ginkgo tree. When the breeze blows, the leaves begin to sway gently, playing a tune with a natural flavor. All of this reveals two words, comfort...
The old man was rocking his chair to enjoy the coolness under the tree. When he saw the car parked in the garage, he did not get up. Instead, he gently flapped his cattail leaf fan, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of green tea with wisps of white smoke floating in the air.
"Xiaoyuan, has Liangliang come with you? Oh, I haven't come..."
The old woman in rich clothes walked out of the room. Seeing that Song Guiyuan came without her son, her eyes showed a trace of disappointment, which turned into dissatisfaction with Song Guiyuan, without even looking at his hands. Carrying the gift, he just nodded gracefully to Lu Ze and asked Lu Ze to sit down. Then he got sulky and turned around and returned to the room.
"Master, please don't be angry. It's really not my fault. The final exam is coming soon. Xiaoliang is studying in a cram school. Since school, including the mid-term exam, he has taken the exam three times in total. Three exams are the last in the entire year. First, if this is the fourth consecutive term, Xiaoxue will really go crazy. No matter who it is now, my wife is like a cannibal when it comes to taking Xiaoliang out to play. She told me that even if she is ranked second in the exam, she will be fine. , there is a bottom picture for psychological comfort. After the exam is over, I will let Xiaoliang come to live with you for a while, as long as it takes, do you think it is okay?"
The old lady's face softened a little and she stopped entering the house. She stood at the door and looked Song Guiyuan up and down. After all, she was still a little unhappy. Perhaps she felt sorry for her child. With a little dissatisfaction, she began to criticize Song Guiyuan and the two of them. Kouzi.
"Everyone talks about reducing the burden on children, but it doesn't matter how much the burden has been reduced. You still put more burdens on the children's shoulders and complain about Xiaoliang's poor grades. He does piano, calligraphy, Go, and oil painting. All kinds of miscellaneous things are thrown at him. It’s weird if the child can learn well. If you have money to give him tutoring, you have to see how much the child can learn. Since you choose diversified education, don’t let your child’s grades matter. I Look, it’s your pride that caused the problem. You were criticized by your elementary school teacher for attending the parent-teacher meeting, which made it impossible for her, a university professor, to step down."
"Yes... you are right, Master. She is too strong. She wants Xiaoliang to learn this and that, and she has to be excellent in all aspects. I can't stand it anymore. I will train her when I get home."
"Don't quarrel with her, just say it's me who said it. If she's unhappy, let her come to me. Why did the child spoil her like this? Okay, just put the things in the house. You can do whatever you want, young man. Put it here Treat it as your own home, don’t have any restrictions.”
Lu Ze nodded and watched Song Guiyuan wink at him and then follow the teacher's wife into the room. Lu Ze then turned around, walked to Teacher Chen's side, and said hello to Chen Yongbin who closed his eyes to rest. .
"Teacher Chen, I'm here."
"Sit down, treat this as your own home, don't be restrained, come here, drink some tea, and follow me into the shed later to put some medicine on the flowers. Do you mind if you work for me for a day today?"
"That's right. I'm just going to continue learning some flower gardening from Teacher Chen."
This purple sand pot and plate is shiny and glowing, and it looks like an old object that has been played with for a long time. Follow the tea flowing out and look in through the spout. A thick layer of tea stains makes this even more obvious. The pot is old.
Lu Ze raised the tea cup, and Teacher Chen filled it seven-quarters full. The aroma of tea was overflowing, and the smell alone didn't look like something that was widely circulated in the world.
Make a fist with your right hand, palm down, tap five fingers on the table three times to express your gratitude to Teacher Chen, then take the tea into your mouth, gently place the tea cup on the stone table, put your hands on your legs, and be quiet Waiting for Teacher Chen to speak again.
Chen Yongbin lay down on the Taishi chair again, closed his eyes and took a rest. The pair of large old muffled penises were curled up by him. It was not that Teacher Chen was pretending, but that both of them were used to communicating like this.
"How was filming in England?"
"It's okay, no shame."
"That's it. Among these juniors, you are the one who is ambitious and promising."
Song Guiyuan, who had just come out of the room and was about to greet Teacher Chen, looked embarrassed at this time. He couldn't sit or stand. He could only quietly stretch his legs and tap lightly on the ground next to the stone bench. Teacher Chen did not reprimand him, but sat down obediently, with a look of despair on his face.
What Teacher Chen said just now was not actually meant for Lu Ze, but for Comrade Lao Song. As the most unpromising student under Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen has always been undisciplined and unambitious about things like Old Song. Very dissatisfied attitude.
After all, he is almost 40 years old, and he has been working under him for more than ten to twenty years. Now he is still filming TV series, and he doesn’t even like to take a movie job. Teacher Chen has given him so much for so many years. He had a chance, but he had to eat the chaff even though the meat was being fed to his mouth. Why don't you make Teacher Chen angry? Although everyone has their own ambitions, Adou, who is so helpless, is considered the number one scorpion daddy under Teacher Chen, and he can no longer choose anyone else.
He teaches and helps students not just for the sake of becoming famous all over the world, but more for the hope that in the remaining ten or twenty years of his life, he can pave the way for these disciples so that they no longer have to be controlled by others. Being irritated all day long can help them straighten their backs and have their own right to speak.
For Teacher Chen, when he teaches students, he not only preaches and solves their problems, but also protects their peace and prosperity throughout their lives. This attitude is selfish, and he never denies it, because he cannot be selfless. These students Those who kowtowed to him and served him tea, to Teacher Chen, they were his sons.
If a son is filial to me, I should help him. Isn't it natural?
The three of them sat under the tree without saying anything. Lu Ze, just like Teacher Chen, closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare peace. Until about ten minutes later, Teacher Chen got up and took Lu Ze into the greenhouse, leaving only Song Gui. Yuan Yuan played with his cell phone resentfully.
It's not that Chen Yongbin doesn't like him so much. It's just that the last time this bastard helped Teacher Chen to work, he broke three flowers that Teacher Chen had managed to feed. The last time was also the first time. Since then, Teacher Chen has never seen him again. Let him help...
…
The diluted nutrient solution was held in Lu Ze's hand. After observing the soil, Teacher Chen also told Lu Ze which pot to water and how much to water.
It seemed that the growth of the flowers was gratifying. Teacher Chen nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the next pot of flowers. The two of them were not silent except for the communication required for work, and finally talked about the topic.
"Currently, your career is focused abroad. This is a good thing, but also a disadvantage. You don't have so much time to attend monthly internal meetings and participate in development plans, so you have very few departments to choose from. My suggestion is You enter the theoretical research department, which is also your only choice. In this way, based on your experience abroad and the actual situation of the domestic film industry, it is the most suitable job for you to propose some targeted policies. If you can make Achievements can really promote the development of the industry, and it will definitely be of great benefit to your personal status in the film industry."
The advice given by Teacher Chen was very pertinent, and Lu Ze was also constantly thinking about it. If he really entered the theoretical research department, then his long-term stay abroad would be equivalent to going abroad for research and study at his own expense. Of course, it doesn't matter whether he pays for himself or not. What's important is What's more, he can indeed have a deeper understanding of foreign film capital operations through his status as a shareholder of "Universal Brothers Pictures". This is his advantage.
In this way, if he really puts forward a good suggestion and is adopted by the Electrical Association, his personal reputation will be greatly improved, but this is not what Lu Ze values the most.
Although talking about contributing to the Chinese film industry is inevitably a bit false, as a Chinese filmmaker, when Lu Ze really had the opportunity to push the Chinese film industry forward, how could he be willing not to do it? What to do?
But he had concerns, just one concern.
"Mr. Chen, I have something to explain to you. Before this, I invested in a British film company. Will this have any impact on my employment?"
This did not surprise Chen Yongbin, but it was more or less surprising. Unexpectedly, in more than a year, Lu Ze relied on himself to climb out of the slump, not only won the Berlin Best Actor, but also invested in foreign movies. The company has made such a wonderful turnaround.
After staring at Lu Ze carefully for a few seconds, Chen Yongbin shook his head, bent down again, looked after his precious flowers, and answered Lu Ze's question.
"This is a good thing. It allows you to observe the operation of the foreign film industry more closely. It will also gain more people's trust in the feasibility of the proposed plan. You don't have to worry about this, as long as you still have a Chinese ID card. , and he is also a party member, can speak Chinese outside, and recognizes himself as a Chinese. This kind of investment will not become a handle for you, but will become a boost for you. If you water this flower less, it will easily burn to death if you water it too much. , OK...stop."
Slowly pour the nutrient solution into the roots of the flowers. When the amount is enough, screw on the bottle cap again. Lu Ze's heart was relieved. Just looking at the back that looked a little old, the gratitude in Lu Ze's heart was indescribable. This man An old man who had nothing to do with him helped him so much unconditionally. Even Lu Ze found it difficult to express such kindness in words.
"Teacher Chen, thank you."
Lu Ze was at a loss for words, but his feelings were sincere. Chen Yongbin could also feel Lu Ze's true feelings. He smiled gently and patted him on the shoulder.
"I once said that you are a talent, not just in terms of acting. Whether you are a person or do things, you have your own set of codes of conduct. This is what I like most about you. You have a bottom line and a kind heart. Yes, there is ambition, and there is also a sense of responsibility. With these, the performance level is not important anymore. Okay, your task as a small worker is over for today. Let's go back. Tomorrow You come with me and visit other leaders of the Electrical Power Association. Although joining the Electrical Power Association is a sure thing, you can also save face and canvass votes, but there is only one thing..."
"Teacher Chen, please tell me."
There was some dirt stuck to the path paved with bricks in the middle of the flower garden. On the way back, Teacher Chen picked up the broom and gently swept the dirt back into the flower garden. Lu Ze wanted to help, but he waved him away and kept cleaning the path. , Teacher Chen returned the broom and pushed open the glass door of the greenhouse with his hands behind his back.
"I'll take you to visit other leaders, but some of them come from unknown sources. We don't have any famous connections, and I'm too embarrassed to ask, so I plan to accept you as a student. What do you think?"
