China Entertainment Times

Chapter 16

After nearly half a month of post-production, the semi-finished film of "Shark Beach" finally came out.

In fact, Tang An completed the rough cut of the movie three days ago, and finished the cut a week later. After all, he has a complete memory in his head, so he just needs to follow the cut.

But in order to keep improving, Tang An spent nearly a week watching it repeatedly, pondering every shot, and cut the 88-minute movie to 85 minutes to ensure that the plot is compact and smooth, without any delay before he is satisfied.

For a thriller and horror film, the rhythm is absolutely very important. It is necessary to grasp the transition of each shot to stimulate the psychology of the audience.

At the end of June, Tang An took the sample film and all his belongings and got on the train bound for the capital.

In addition to Yang Mi's 3 yuan salary from the original [-] yuan, the subsequent props, labor and miscellaneous expenses add up to [-] yuan.

So now he only has 4000 yuan left.

There is no train station in Hengdian, so you need to take a bus to Yiwu and then transfer to a train.

Bus tickets are very cheap, and now it’s the beginning of summer vacation, and the 40-kilometer journey only costs 5 yuan.

However, the train ticket from Yiwu to Beijing is a bit tricky. The express train with K prefix costs 201 yuan for hard seats, 343 yuan for hard sleepers, 974 yuan for first-class high-speed rail seats, and 1827 yuan for business seats.

With the same price and 10 train tickets more than 1827 years later, many families will not be able to save so much money in a year.

I reluctantly bought a train ticket, and bought two buckets of instant noodles, two bags of instant noodles, and two cans of Jianlibao outside the train station.

At the door of the small store, I saw a mother who bought a can for her child, and the child directly poked a small hole in the middle with a needle.

Shaking the jar, he drank it in his mouth, with a happy and satisfied smile on his smiling face.

The well-deserved king of beverages in the hearts of post-8090s, the first sports drink in China, became famous overseas, became popular after the Los Angeles Olympics, and was called "Huaxia Magic Water".

Later, some people compared Jianlibao with Red Bull. In fact, the two are fundamentally different. Red Bull is a functional drink that can improve the spirit for a period of time when you are extremely tired.

But Red Bull must not drink too much, especially in the absence of a lot of exercise. Drinking it as water for a long time will easily increase the heart load, increase blood pressure, and even cause kidney failure.

Especially students whose bodies are not yet fully developed, after all, it contains a lot of hormones.

And Jianlibao is a sports drink, which does not have the effect of making people excited, but can add some calories and sugar, and is not a carbonated drink, so it is a standard drink for domestic athletes, just like Gatorade, the designated drink of the NBA.

Twenty years later, it is rare to meet thieves on the train. At that time, all the money was in bank cards and mobile phones. Some people didn't even carry their wallets, so they took a mobile phone with them when they went out.

The average mobile phone is more than 2000 yuan, even if it is stolen, it can be sold for less than 1000 yuan, and the profit is too small.

It's different now, the majority of people go out with cash, and mobile phones are also valuables.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are many train thieves!
What is contained in this backpack can determine his future, there must be no loss, and he must keep his spirits up at all times!
Getting on the bus at 9:15 in the morning, Tang An was lucky enough to get a seat by the window.

When the train just leaves, people are at their most energetic, and everything is business as usual.

After 6 p.m., people took out their prepared lunch boxes and ate dinner.

A bucket of foam costs 3 yuan, which is a luxury for ordinary people, and most people bring their own meals to eat.

But no matter what time someone forgets to prepare in advance because of various things, they can only buy expensive food on the train.

"Chuck."

Tang An's noodles were soaked in no time. A bucket of instant noodles was added to a bag, and a bucket full of boiling water was poured. After a big mouthful of soup, he began to enjoy his dinner.

White Elephant Big Bone Noodles, the long-lost taste, tastes much better than the later Kang Shuaifu and Uni-President.

Halfway through eating, there was a sudden sound of swallowing saliva.

"Gudoo. Gudoo"

Tang An bit off the instant noodles near his mouth, and looked to the side.

A seven or eight-year-old boy was sitting in his mother's arms and staring at him.

To be precise, he was staring at Tang An's mouth.

Seeing Tang An chewing up the instant noodles in his mouth, he could see the little boy's throat visibly twitching.

The little boy's mother also noticed that her child was staring at others eating instant noodles, so she quickly put the lunch box on the small table, pulled the little boy away, and looked at Tang An with apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, the child is not sensible!"

"It's okay, big sister!" Tang An smiled and shook his head.

"Xiaodong, come and eat!" The eldest sister handed the smaller lunch box to the little boy.

Xiaodong glanced at the instant noodles in Tang An's hand with a full face, and started to eat his own food, looking at Tang An's hand from time to time.

Looking at the pickled orange peels and dried radishes in his lunch box, Tang An was quite touched.

After thinking about it, Tang An took out a pack of instant noodles from his bag, patted the little boy's head, and handed it over, "Here, uncle treats you to instant noodles!"

Xiaodong raised his head with surprise on his face, and was about to reach out to pick it up.

"Snapped!"

His mother suddenly slapped him on the hand, and said to Tang An, "The child is greedy, don't be offended, big brother, thank you for your kindness!"

After all, he turned to educate his children.

"I told you not to take other people's things, but you didn't listen!"

Tang An shook his head mockingly. People these days are more vigilant than imagined. A stranger who gave away a pack of 1 yuan instant noodles for no reason, and on the train, would inevitably make people suspicious.

After dinner, the sky began to gradually darken. Tang An passed his right arm through the two shoulder straps of the backpack, pressed it between the seat and the wall, and leaned sideways to take a rest.

It was vaguely heard that the person who is currently educating his children seems to have really decided that Tang An is a bad person.

After taking a nap for two hours in a daze, I woke up on time at almost 9 o'clock.

At this point, most people are going to sleep, which is the best time for thieves to commit crimes.

I slept for two hours before, so I should be able to last all night.

The carriage gradually became quiet, and Tang An suddenly heard a rustling sound.

Out of the corner of the eye, the little boy stretched his hand towards the small table while his mother was sleeping.

It was for that!
After seeing his movements clearly, Tang An stopped paying attention to him.

Of the two seasoning packets, Tang An only used one, and the other two unopened small bags were touched by the little boy.

He glanced at Tang An vigilantly, then quickly tore open the powder packet, dipped his fingers into it, put it in his mouth and sucked it repeatedly.

After repeating it two or three times, the little boy reluctantly put the seasoning packet back into his pocket.

The long night is a bit boring, there are no entertainment items, and the Nokia mobile phone only has two small games, Snake and Space Wars.

The former requires a high degree of concentration to play later, which is too brain-intensive.

The latter has cleared countless times in his previous life, the game is simple, mastered the skills, every level boss can be stuck to death.

"Passengers, please take good care of your belongings so as not to lose them!"

This is the voice of the train inspector from the carriage. He shouted three times in a row, which immediately woke Tang An up.

This is to remind passengers that there are thieves in the carriage!
ps: please collect, please recommend tickets!
