I'm not just a director

Chapter 230 Years

Jiang Pei'an was very satisfied with Hu Jing's attitude of admitting his mistakes.

So when I left the company, I took her to have a big meal.

Hu Jing rubbed her little hands, wanting to eat hot pot.

Having been with Hu Jing for more than two years, Jiang Pei'an has figured out the taste of this girl.

The hot pot that Hu Jing is talking about is not the traditional copper pot shabu-shabu in the capital, but a hot pot that is closer to the Sichuan style.

This point coincides with Jiang Pei'an's taste, compared to Beijing's copper pot shabu-shabu dipped in sesame sauce.

He obviously prefers red oil hot pot.

At 09:30 in the night, the street was a little deserted.

It is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and most of the migrant workers in Beijing have gone home for the New Year.

"You come here this time, what about uncles and aunts?"

Jiang Pei'an parked the car at the company, and the two walked down the street holding hands.

"It's okay, they are used to me like this, so I said there is a scene to be filmed here in the capital, so come over to catch up."

Hu Jing said with a smile.

Hu Jing was born in a dual-career family, and her parents were very busy with work, so they had little time to take care of her since she was a child.
Even the catch week when she was one year old was not held.

When the Dance Department of the Middle School Attached to Minzu University of China came to Yunnan Province to recruit students, Hu Jing applied without telling her parents, and was successfully admitted.

At that time, Hu Jing was only 11 years old, and she was not afraid of life in Beidiao at all, but excited that her parents finally didn't care about her anymore.

And because the train ticket from Yunnan Province to Beijing is very expensive,
Neither her parents sent her to the capital, so she waved goodbye to her mother on the platform,

Then embarked on a journey of three days and two nights.

It was this kind of independent life when she was a child that formed her extremely strong temper.

Her parents are also very reassuring to her. She studied in the Middle School Attached to Minzu University for six years,
Every winter and summer vacation, she would go back to Yunnan Province, but her parents never visited her in the capital.

When they were young, Hu Jing naturally mentioned it when they were chatting.

So when Hu Jing said these words lightly, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help feeling distressed.

"What's wrong director?"

Sensing that Jiang Pei'an was a little depressed, Hu Jing squeezed his hand and asked with a smile.

"It's okay, don't do this next time, spend more time with your parents at home, we are still young, and we still have a long way to go."

Jiang Pei'an looked at her and said seriously.

"Okay, so are you coming to our house next year for Chinese New Year? My parents like you very much."

Hu Jing covered her mouth and smiled.

"Do uncles and aunts know about our relationship?"

Jiang Pei'an asked.

Hu Jing shook her head and said:

"No, they just know that you invited me to star in my first movie.

Then they also watched "Taken" and "Source Code" directed by you. My mother likes your song very much, that is "I Remember". "

"Hehe, I will definitely visit them next year if I have a chance, and I can also bring my uncle and aunt to the capital."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"It's ok, my mother has always wanted to come to the capital to see where I live.

It's just that my dad doesn't allow it. All he thinks about is work. In fact, I am now fully capable of supporting them. "

Hu Jing pursed her mouth, and said with a little disappointment.

Hu Jing's family is actually the same as most families in China, with a dignified father and a kind mother.

Even if their children have the ability to support themselves, they will choose to be self-reliant when they can, and they don't want to burden their children.

"It's okay, I have a solution."

"what?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled mysteriously and said:
"Didn't you say that uncle likes to drink? After the new year, I will go to Yunnan Province to drink with him. After drinking him down, he will definitely say anything."

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's extremely unreliable proposal, Hu Jing's eyes lit up, she nodded and said:
"My dad has always been very confident in his drinking capacity, you can make a bet before drinking.

Whoever gets drunk first wins, and the loser has to promise the winner one thing, saving my dad from drinking too much and denying it. "

Thinking of her father drinking too much, Hu Jing kept laughing beside her.

It seems that I have seen the picture of the two most important men in my life sitting together and fighting for wine.

As for Jiang Pei'an's drinking capacity, Hu Jing was never worried.

After all, she had seen it before at the wrap-up banquet.

Hearing that Hu Jing agreed to her proposal, and even offered to help her with suggestions, Jiang Pei'an laughed and joked:
"Jingjing, you are such a filial daughter, hahaha."

"Hey, I just hope that you can eat and drink together. I can proudly introduce you to my parents as a boyfriend."

"Okay."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Wow, it's snowing again."

Snowflakes fell in the sky again, and Hu Jing happily caught the snowflakes with her hands.

Seeing Hu Jing's happy face, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but think of a sentence on the Internet in later generations:

If he was drenched in snow together in the morning, he would be counted as graying together in this life...

In the end, the two of them couldn't find the Chuanshu hot pot either. It was Hu Jing who found a sour soup pork knuckle hot pot in Yunnan province that she usually goes to.

This is the first time Jiang Pei'an has eaten this hot and sour hot pot, and the experience is very novel.

Jiang Pei'an is still not used to the ingredient Zheergen.

Sure enough, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are not separated from each other, and Zheergen is the treasure of the three families, and you can meet them wherever you go.

……

The next day, New Year's Eve.

Jiang Pei'an rushed to Hualong Digital early.

Needless to say, although Americans are free and undisciplined, as long as you pay for them, their service is still good.

"Oh, Jiang, you actually came here today. Isn't today your Chinese Christmas? I really didn't expect you to come here in person."

Bob, the leader of the busy visual effects team, came over and said hello.

"You are all working diligently, how can I sit at home for the holidays with peace of mind, I am not a black-hearted capitalist."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

In the eyes of Americans, the Spring Festival in China is equivalent to Christmas there.

"Oh, as much as I want to admire your dedication, it's a particularly impersonal expression in America.

It's really hard to imagine how much you love work when you have to work during the holidays. "

Bob shrugged.

"Hahaha, I don't want to come here either, but don't you have a lot of things that require me to make decisions? Let's start."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

"Of course, if you don't come here again, I will come to visit you personally. These problems have really troubled us for a long time. You should take a look here first..."

Bob took Jiang Pei'an to sit next to his work computer and began to introduce.

What this guy said just now was just a small talk, and he understands human affairs quite well.

During the whole morning, Jiang Pei'an didn't go back to Hualong Digital, even for lunch.

There are many problems on Bob's side, but most of them are decision-making things, and most of them involve problems that need to be coordinated with the shooting after the year.

These were all accumulated by Jiang Pei'an when he was wandering outside during this period of time.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Pei'an got away from Hualong Digital in a daze after all the decisions had been made.

"Happy New Year to everyone. Mr. Lei has arranged leisure and entertainment activities in the evening. Everyone has fun."

Before leaving, Jiang Pei'an said to the staff of Industrial Light & Magic with a smile.

"New, New Year, Happy~"

The employee of Industrial Light & Magic said in a mouthful of Chinese that he had just learned...

Walking out of the building of Hualong Digital, Jiang Pei'an received a large number of blessing text messages as soon as he turned on his mobile phone.

When he was in Hualong Digital in the morning, the phone calls came in one after another without stopping, so he simply turned off the phone.

Now I started to reply text messages and call back one by one.

There was joy along the way, and every household was decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was very lively.

Since 93, the urban area of ​​Beijing has been banned from release, but after leaving the urban area, it seems that the scene has changed.

The fireworks and firecrackers have never stopped, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur.

And this taste is called it in many people's childhood memories.

New Year's Eve...

When she got home, Hu Jing had already cooked a large table of dishes and made dumplings.

"Thank you, Jingjing."

Looking at Hu Jing who was busy in the kitchen, Jiang Pei'an said emotionally.

There is no such thing as a New Year's Eve dinner in the customs of Jiang Pei'an's hometown.

The meal cooked at noon on New Year's Eve is the most sumptuous.

The men who were drunk after lunch lay down in the room to rest, while the men who were not drunk gathered together to play cards and mahjong.

The women gather together and chat while making dumplings.

The children started to buy firecrackers and play after getting the New Year's money from the adults...

"Director, wash your hands quickly, we can have dinner when the soup is ready."

Since Jiang Pei'an left in the morning, Hu Jing has been busy with a large table of dishes.

At this time, she came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and said with a smile.

"it is good."

After Jiang Pei'an washed up, he went to the kitchen to help Hu Jing serve dishes.

"Jingjing, shall we have a drink?"

Sitting at the dinner table, Jiang Pei'an suggested.

"Okay, I'm going to get a drink."

Hu Jing said with a smile.

"This bottle of red wine was given to me by Old Brown. It should taste pretty good."

Jiang Pei'an poured the wine and said.

"Hehe, old Mr. Brown, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Speaking of Old Brown, Hu Jing immediately remembered the days when she and Jiang Pei'an were filming "Ghost Story" together.

"Director, do you still remember? When we were filming "Ghost Story" together, I had a fever, and you took me to the hospital despite the wind and rain?"

Hu Jing recalled.

"Of course I did, but that still wore me out, and the next day the nurse told me that it had been extremely windy that night.

Some billboards were overturned by the strong wind, and I don't know where I got the courage to brave the stormy night to advance. "

Jiang Pei'an said quite emotionally.

"So, I would like to respect you for this first glass of wine. Director, thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Hu Jing raised her wine glass and said with a smile.

"Suddenly I don't feel comfortable being so formal, so I respect you too.

Thank you, Jingjing, for always being by my side to take care of me, accompany me, and encourage me. "

Jiang Pei'an also raised his glass and said.

"cheers!"

"Happy New Year!"

After a few glasses of wine, Hu Jing's face turned red, and she looked at Jiang Pei'an with silly joy.

"Silly girl, what are you doing?"

Jiang Pei'an looked at her and smiled.

Hu Jing seemed a little drunk, she put her blushing face on her palm, and said sweetly:
"When I was studying in the past, I would always treat the male students in the class as buddies, and everyone thought I had a carefree appearance and a good personality.

In fact, I also have a bad personality, such as being competitive and vanity.

Sometimes I think, what kind of boyfriend will I find in the future?
What would I do if I didn't take the path of being an actor, would I help my husband and raise my children at home?
I definitely can't do it, it's too boring, do you work in the office?I can't seem to sit still.

It would be great if I could marry a rich man. Acting is a hobby, let my husband invest in making movies for me, and I will be the heroine.

Hey, although it's a bit superficial, it doesn't mean I can't endure hardship.

Director, do you know?I have liked you since that rainy night when you sent me to the hospital..."

Hu Jing seemed to be lost in memory, her eyes were a little blurred.

Jiang Pei'an didn't interrupt her, but continued to listen.

Hu Jing murmured:
"At that time, I was thinking, can a movie like "Ghost Story" make money?

If you can't make money or become famous, will you continue to persevere?

You definitely insisted on making movies, and I could see at that time that you really liked movies.

So I secretly planned, if you continue to make movies, then I will go out and pick up scenes for you to continue shooting...

Hehe, saying this kind of thing now may be a bit...a bit of an afterthought, but I really think so.

Director, do you believe it? "

Believe it, how could you not believe it!

Jiang Pei'an nodded heavily.

It was the first time he heard Hu Jing say such a thing.

In the past, Hu Jing gave Jiang Pei'an the impression that she had a sunny and carefree personality.

It seems that nothing can bring down this extroverted girl, which is what Jiang Pei'an especially likes about her.

What Hu Jing said today, if someone else said it, Jiang Pei'an would really doubt whether the other party was trying to curry favor with him.

But Hu Jing won't. After all, when she participated in the Cannes exhibition, Hu Jing gave him all the film salary of "Ghost Shadows" and even supplemented her own private money to customize suits for him.

You must know that at that time, "Ghost Story" hadn't won the award yet.

"Jingjing, I believe what you say."

Jiang Pei'an took Hu Jing's hand and said solemnly.

"But now it seems that I haven't helped you much..."

Hu Jing was a little disappointed.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head and said seriously:
"You are doing me the greatest favor by being by my side."

"Hey, yeah, then I'm satisfied."

Hu Jing smirked.

"Silly girl."

……

Compared with last year's Spring Festival Gala in 20002, it was almost interesting.

Even the quality of Uncle Benshan's sketches has declined.

This year he is still performing with Fan Wei Gao Xiumin.

The sketch is the second part of "Selling Cars" in the "Selling Series".

Now there is such a saying:
The Spring Festival Gala is a basket, and everything is put into the basket.

This sentence is mainly aimed at the joint singing programs at the Spring Festival Gala in previous years.

A song is sung by seven or eight people, and one person can't get half a line together, making the song fragmented...

Jiang Pei'an accompanied Hu Jing to finish watching the Spring Festival Gala. When the clock struck zero, Jiang Pei'an murmured:

"2002, here we come."
