I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 401 [Movie Viewing]

My wife is focusing on her work and my son is going to kindergarten. It sounds like there are suddenly fewer people at home and less things to do.

But in fact, Lu Zhengyi's life did not become leisurely because of this.

Buying groceries, cooking, picking up children...sometimes I also have to help my children with their homework in the evening.

Yes, children's homework.

Who would have thought that a kindergarten child has homework, although the content of the homework is very simple, just pinyin and literacy, but this immediately widens the gap between them and normal children.

Because this kind of content sounds like it's from elementary school.

But basically, Lu Zhengyi didn't waste too much time on tutoring his child, because... the child is very smart.

Lu Yongan is very smart, and because of his habits since childhood, he is very conscious of his daily routine and sense of time.

What time to eat, how long to play after eating, when to start doing homework, what time to go to bed... He can arrange these things by himself.

Because it has become like a habit.

Unless there is other external influence and it is long-term, it is difficult for him to change such thinking.

"If you choose elite education from the beginning, you will definitely not be able to go to ordinary schools later."

Before going to bed at night, Lu Zhengyi briefly talked about this matter, and Zhang Xueming replied as a matter of course, "It is normal for private schools to prepare for lessons in advance. When the time comes, we have to find a school that can keep up with him in terms of courses."

"Otherwise, even though we have already learned the content, An An still has to consider the progress of other students in the class and accompany them to class. This is definitely not acceptable."

"Or, we can consider skipping a grade."

She said this with an unconscious hint of pride in her tone.

This is her child, a genius!
After only attending classes for a short period of time, Lu Yongan's intelligence won the love of the teachers in the kindergarten and made her, as a mother, very proud.

Although, she doesn't have much time to pick up and drop off the children.

But it is not difficult to understand your child’s learning situation.

Zhang Xueming can learn from her husband what the teachers in the kindergarten think of her child, and can also confirm her child's learning situation through occasional surprise tests.

After only a few months of study, An An no longer has any problem learning to read.

Even if you come across some characters that you don't understand, you can follow the adults' method to infer the pronunciation of the characters from the 'radicals' and then learn them through pinyin.

He has accumulated a considerable vocabulary.

"But I still need to practice my handwriting, it's a little crooked."

Zhang Xueming mentioned that, in addition to basic courses such as literacy, calligraphy practice is also a subject. "With An An's strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to hold the pen properly, right?"

she asked.

"There's no problem with his strength. His grip is very strong."

Lu Zhengyi stroked his chin, recalling the child's writing. "But his hands were too small, so it felt strange to hold the pen. After all, he was only three years old."

“If you can hold it, you can write well.”

Zhang Xueming shook her head. "He can write well, but he needs some corrections on his posture and some supervision. Or I can get off work early these days and I'll do it..."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her helplessly. She was strict with herself and equally strict with her children.

"I know you want to do good for him." He said softly, "An An is very smart. Now he can keep up with your requirements of him. He can handle it with ease."

"But I hope you don't keep raising your expectations and the ceiling just because he can keep up."

"Can we educate him according to the pace we originally agreed on?"

This kind of thing often happens, whether in education, work, or other aspects.

Whether it's a child, an employee, or anyone else, by achieving a pre-set goal, learning something ahead of time, or completing some work, they can gain some time for play and rest.

But it is precisely because the goal is achieved 'ahead of time' that parents, superiors and bosses feel that they are in control and that there is even room for extra 'squeezing'.

They will set higher goals, compress the time, and test the upper limit of their patience again and again.

But...is this right?

"We didn't know he was so smart."

Zhang Xueming explained, trying to change her husband's mind, "He has only been in class for a few months, but he already knows so many words. This is almost equivalent to the level of a second-grade student in a public primary school."

"If we work harder, we can correct his handwriting. Beautiful handwriting can affect many things."

"There are also foreign languages. Now that the group is going global, there will definitely be a lot of external business. As the future heir, it is very necessary for him to learn a few more languages. He is young now, so learning..."

In just a few months, the pride this child brought her was even greater than the sense of accomplishment she got from winning a multinational cooperation project.

There is a successor! There is a successor!
Zhang Xueming originally felt a little regretful that after the child was born, he did not become a strong and special person like his father.

But what is there to regret now? This is a genius. If he can't be like his father, then he can be like himself.

She wanted to explain, but she became more and more excited.

But soon, a broad palm suddenly rested on the back of her hand and held her hand tightly.

Zhang Xueming paused.

She raised her head in surprise, and then met her husband's eyes.

Calm, extreme calm.

Although the other facial features, whether the corners of the mouth or the eyebrows, all expressed a helpless emotion, the calmness in the eyes made Zhang Xueming feel extremely familiar and heavy.

All of a sudden, her enthusiasm and excitement cooled.

"As for the previous question about whether your child should go to a public or private school, I agreed with your choice, because I really don't have an answer to that question."

"I don't have a relatively subjective position or sufficient reasons to make a choice."

"So I choose to believe you, listen to your advice, and choose to agree."

Lu Zhengyi replied softly, his voice as gentle as ever, "But I won't agree to this matter. Let's teach according to the original plan."

"I have even told the child what knowledge he should be taught and what courses he will face. He should have listened and at least have an idea of ​​it."

"I don't think it's a good idea to change it now. Even if we want to change it, we should wait until the child has finished learning those things. If he himself says he wants to make changes or add some courses, then we can make changes."

Zhang Xueming remained silent.

She didn't say anything else, just staring into Lu Zhengyi's eyes.

In that calm, there gradually became a bit of seriousness.

Seeing emotions in other people's eyes does not mean that the word "calm" is really written in their eyes, but rather it is a feeling.

Impatient, serious, angry, painful...

These emotions will not be written in the eyes, but they will come through and be transmitted to the heart of another person as a feeling.

When a person is willing to express their emotions without reservation, the feeling is usually correct.

"I know. I know what you mean."

She finally spoke up, "Anyway, according to our original curriculum, when An An finishes his studies, he should be five or six years old. Then, he can make his own choice."

At the age of five or six, some children are still playing in the mud and playing house.

Some children have already learned English and Olympiad mathematics.

There are even children who can make some strange toys by themselves, open a self-media account, become a blogger, and start making money.

But since her husband insisted so much, she did not tell him all the examples in her mind to convince him.

"My attitude just now was not very good." Seeing that Zhang Xueming was not in a good mood, Lu Zhengyi moved closer and said in a low voice, "But I really should insist on this matter."

"I know, you spoke very gently just now." Zhang Xueming slowly leaned down and put her head on his shoulder, "I just don't like the look in your eyes just now."

"Eye?"

Lu Zhengyi was a little confused.

"Actually, I also have abilities. I also have superpowers."

Zhang Xueming responded softly, her voice was very low, as if she was whispering.

"Ok?"

Lu Zhengyi was even more confused. Could it be that she...

No, there isn't.

There was nothing special about her.

“Sometimes, you are gray in my eyes, and sometimes you are colorful.”

Zhang Xueming continued to murmur, "I used to like the gray version of you. You were strong and rational. You did everything as if you were standing in a... very high place, looking down. You didn't care about anything in particular."

"But now I prefer the colorful you. It sounds a bit childish, but sometimes I think about doing something to attract your attention and make you become the colorful one."

"But I will resist the urge. I don't want to cause any trouble to you or this family..."

She is conflicted.

If I hadn't met the gray Lu Zhengyi, I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with the colorful Lu Zhengyi.

But after falling in love with him, she started to hate the gray side of him.

"Human beings are really a very strange existence."

Zhang Xueming expressed her sincere emotion, because she is also a human being, so through repeated introspection and reflection, she has a clear and profound understanding of herself.

……

The filming time for Lee Chuan-shin's "The Ring" and Bai Wei's "Dead Silence" was much slower than Lu Zhengyi expected.

After temporarily retiring from the entertainment industry, his concept of time is actually very vague.

After all, I have been staying at home and have no job.

But fortunately, there is still An An.

When An An was three years old, he started going to kindergarten. Lu Zhengyi originally thought that they should have finished filming the two films by the end of that year, after all, they had already been shooting for more than a year.

Considering his previous work efficiency, this progress is too slow.

As a result, their film was not released until An An’s fourth birthday.

It wasn't even released in theaters.

They each edited a feature film, and before submitting it for review, they hoped that Lu Zhengyi could take a look at the film first.

“Learn from each other, encourage each other, and achieve each other.”

The cinema in Lu Zhengyi's house had been idle for some time. After the two of them sent the message, he decided to arrange the same time.

"Okay, let's take a look at Director Bai's work."

Li Chuanxin said with a smile. Next to him stood Xu Feng.

"I can't wait to see Director Li's work."

Bai Wei also spoke with a smile, but there was no one else next to him.

Most of the Meilimao crew members were with him, and since he had always been used to being the executive assistant director and giving orders, he did not hire a new assistant director to help.

He doesn't need help from others, the team leaders in the crew are enough.

Lu Zhengyi watched from the side and nodded with satisfaction.

No matter how competitive they are in private, or whether they are willing to let the other party appreciate their shooting ideas, it is enough for them to remain humble and friendly in front of him.

People are too complicated. Lu Zhengyi does not expect that everyone around him can be very good friends and be friends with each other.

But at least in front of him, everyone can have fun, and that's enough.

“This scene reminds me of more than ten years ago.”

Lu Zhengyi sat in the theater, looking at the three people beside him with a smile, "My first play was also shown in this theater to my father, accompanied by Director Zhang Yu at the time."

"My father said, what's the point of making a horror movie? Losing money is a small matter, but if you make it, you will lose your reputation. He also said that he is too old and has seen a lot of things, nothing can scare him."

"Horror movies are scary because of the childhood filter. Only children will be scared. That's what he thinks."

As he said this, he laughed, "Guess what happened next, he just kept watching and stopped talking."

"In order to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his son, he even sent me out to get some water. He was really trying to save face."

"But he does recognize those works, but he thinks the market won't recognize them."

When talking about the past, Lu Zhengyi talked more.

But soon, he stopped talking. It is basic courtesy to keep silent while watching a movie.

The first movie they watched was The Ring, directed by Li.

Not long after, after watching the movie, Bai Wei seemed to be thinking about something, and Lu Zhengyi was also a little surprised.

All of them come from the horror film industry and have experienced things that are more real than the plots in horror movies.

Therefore, it is difficult to make them feel fear and terror.

What they watch and analyze are more about the plot design, shots, actors...etc.

"Very surprised."

When the lights came back on, Lu Zhengyi looked at Li Chuanxin seriously and said, "The film shot by Director Li is much better than I imagined."

Next to him, Bai Wei did not comment and remained silent.

"Director Lu...this is too exaggerated."

Li Chuanxin smiled and replied, "I know my level. I feel that I am still far behind Director Lu's movies."

"Filters, it's definitely a bonus of filters."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head. “I am surprised by what you filmed.”

He was really surprised.

The film was completely different from what he had seen in his previous life.

The script he moved could even be described in one sentence.

Just like the one-page script of The Grudge, the movie The Ring also has a one-page script, which is more about the setting of the character Sadako.

The rest of the plot, almost nothing.

In the final analysis, it was a process of accidentally getting the videotape, watching the videotape, being targeted by Sadako, and being killed...

Compared with the plot content, the focus of this film is how the director should arrange it, the performance of the characters in the film, and the effect presented by the camera.

Li Chuanxin did a good job in this regard, creating an excellent atmosphere without the help of any special items.
