The world of film and television begins from childhood

He sincerely wanted to teach several apprentices and even used all his own resources. Unfortunately, his apprentices' abilities were limited and others only wanted what he had done and did not want his apprentices' work at all.

"If they had your talent and focus, they would definitely achieve more than me in the future. It's a pity."

Xie Heshun was very disappointed. Zhou Chen's talent was unprecedented in his life. It was better than that of his several disciples combined. That was why he was more strict with his disciples because he knew that if they did not have enough talent, they could only make up for it with hard work.

Unfortunately, the last few disciples still didn't understand him and were ready to leave one by one.

Zhou Chen could understand Xie Heshun's distress, but he knew better that it was not entirely Xie Heshun's problem, nor was it the problem of those apprentices. It was just that society was developing, and if a woodcarving workshop like Xie Heshun did not have suitable sales channels and reforms, bankruptcy was a matter of time.

"Master Xie, I dare not say anything about others, but I believe Xiaoxia will come back sooner or later, because he is too innocent, and his roots are here, he can't go far."

It can be seen from the plot of the TV series that Xie Xiaoxia is a good kid, but he is really too naive. If no one is leading him, he will definitely not be able to survive outside alone.

Zhou Chen was comforting Xie Heshun when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Xu Hongdou's mother, oh, oh, I know, I know, it's Auntie, yes, okay, I will go back to find Hongdou right away, okay..."

Chapter 1189: Dinner in the courtyard, the first step to help Hongdou

In the Youfeng Courtyard Teahouse, Xu Hongdou was drinking tea with Ma Qiushan.

"..., this person's brain..."

While making tea, Ma Qiushan talked about the philosophy of life with Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou, who was also a good talker, continued with what Ma Qiushan said. As a result, Ma Qiushan was left speechless.

Ma Qiushan was very depressed. He had previously invited Zhou Chen to drink tea and talk about life, but in the end, he was completely defeated by Zhou Chen in terms of tea brewing and tasting, as well as the philosophy of life. As a result, he rarely asked Zhou Chen to drink tea with him later. Even if they did, they mainly drank tea and did not talk about life.

Today he found Xu Hongdou, and thought he could teach her a lesson, but he found out that Xu Hongdou was not simple either, and had rich experience, and he couldn't even control her.

Just at this moment, Zhou Chen walked in from outside.

"Xu Hongdou."

"Hey."

Seeing Xu Hongdou drinking tea with Ma Qiushan in the tea room, Zhou Chen walked into the tea room.

"what happened?"

"Your mother couldn't find you, so she called me. Please call her back."

Zhou Chen handed the phone to Xu Hongdou, who was shocked: "My mom can't find me, so she called you?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that her cell phone was broken before, and she was worried that her family couldn't find her, so she borrowed Zhou Chen's cell phone to make a call. So when her parents had something and couldn't find her this time, they called Zhou Chen.

Thinking of this, she felt a little worried, so she took Zhou Chen's phone and walked out of the tea room.

Ma Qiushan raised his hand and invited: "Zhou Chen, would you like some tea?"

"Row."

Zhou Chen sat down in the seat where Xu Hongdou had just sat, and Ma Qiushan immediately poured tea for Zhou Chen with a smile.

"When it comes to tea, I'm definitely not as good as you. Just drink my tea."

Zhou Chen said: "Whether the tea is good or not is not the most important thing. What is important is who you drink it with. Master Ma, what do you think?"

"Haha, well said. How about I say that in this little courtyard of ours, you are the one who knows me best."

Ma Qiushan laughed out loud. He had been with Zhou Chen for a month, so he naturally knew that Zhou Chen was different from ordinary people. Even when he was successful, he might not have the same bearing as Zhou Chen.

"You're really good at this. Xu Hongdou's mother even called you. It seems that I was right. You really like her."

"I'm unmarried, and she's unmarried, so even if she falls in love with me, it's okay, right?"

"No problem, of course no problem, haha, I'm just curious, but you have good taste, this red bean, not bad, not bad."

"Master Ma, what about you? Are you really going to hide here for the rest of your life?"

"Go, you are a good person in every way, except that sometimes you say things that are really annoying. What do you mean by hiding? Why should I hide?"

Ma Qiushan rolled his eyes and was very dissatisfied with what Zhou Chen said, but his eyes still avoided while he spoke, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Zhou Chen chuckled. It seemed that he was familiar with Ma Qiushan, otherwise he would not have said this so abruptly.

After Xu Hongdou finished the call, she came back and sat down next to Zhou Chen and returned the phone to Zhou Chen.

"sorry to bother you."

"No need to be so polite. Your phone should be fixed soon. But are you not going to tell your family about your resignation?"

Xu Hongdou said, "I'm afraid they'll worry. Let's talk about it after a few days."

Ma Qiushan poured another cup of tea for Xu Hongdou: "Drink tea, drink tea."

In the evening, Master Ma invited several people in the courtyard to sit together at a small table in the courtyard and drink tea.

Xu Hongdou, Nana and Damai sat together. Nana asked Damai with concern, "Damai, is your writing going well recently? Are you having any writer's block?"

Da Mai scratched his messy hair, looking distressed: "It's not going to be laggy someday, but there's nothing I can do. I still have to update every day, so I can only hold it in until the end."

Xu Hongdou said with admiration: "Damai, I think you are really amazing. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a living writer. You are really amazing."

"What's so great about that? I'm just an unknown writer on the 18th line. I get scolded every day. You don't know how stressful and difficult it is to write a novel nowadays."

Da Mai sighed. She had been working day and night all day long just to write. Especially in recent times, the pressure was so great that she even had the idea of ​​giving up.

Ma Ye pretended to be profound and said, "It's normal to have pressure. What job doesn't have pressure nowadays? Da Mai, I'm very optimistic about you. You can do it."

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaoxia walked into the courtyard from outside.

"Wow, there are so many people here today, are you having a tea party?"

"Mr. Xie, you are here."

Zhou Chen and his friends greeted Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaoxia with a smile.

"Come and sit."

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaoxia were both holding things in their hands and placed them on the small table.

"I brought you some barbecue and beer, let's eat and drink together."

"Mr. Xie is so generous." Nana gave Xie Zhiyao a thumbs up.

Xie Xiaochun distributed barbecue and beer to everyone. Everyone, except Ma Ye, started eating and drinking without hesitation.

Xie Zhiyao scratched his head, looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Zhou Chen, Xiaochun and I have something to ask you."

"You have something to ask me? Okay, tell me what it is." Zhou Chen said.

Xie Xiaochun said, "It's my younger brother Xiaoxia. He suddenly told big brother yesterday that he wanted to go to Shanghai. Do you know about this?"

"Yes, I met him today when I went to Master Xie's house. Master Xie was very angry with him. Xiaoxia also asked me about the Magic City before. It seems that he has really decided to go to the Magic City?"

Zhou Chen took a bite of the lamb skewer. Yang Guanjun’s barbecue skills were only average, but there was only one such restaurant in the village, so business was pretty good.

Xie Zhiyao nodded: "Yes, he also came to me yesterday and said that he had a friend in the Magic City and wanted to go there to seek refuge. He also wanted me to persuade Uncle Heshun and Aunt Baoping."

"So you came to me because you want me to persuade Xiaoxia?" Zhou Chen asked tentatively.

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun looked at each other, and finally Xie Zhiyao spoke up: "We know that you know someone in Magic City, so we would like to ask you to help investigate the friend Xiaoxia mentioned. Xiaoxia is too naive and has never been outside. It's not that we don't want him to go out and explore, but we are mainly worried that he will be deceived."

Xie Xiaochun added: "We are all very worried about Xiaoxia. He has only been to Spring City since he was a child. He suddenly has to go to a place as far away as Shanghai. We are all very worried about him, so we want to ask you for help."

Zhou Chen said: "Of course I have no problem helping, but I don't know who Xiaoxia is going to find. Do you have his information?"

"Yes, yes."

Xie Zhiyao took out his phone and opened the photo.

"When Xiaoxia showed me the photos yesterday, I saved them on purpose. These are the few photos. Xiaochun also looked at Xiaoxia's phone. There was this online name called Brother Kevin. There are only photos and the online name. Can any useful information be found?"

Zhou Chen took a few glances and said, "There is a team in my company that specializes in investigation and research. It's illegal to investigate other people's personal information without permission. But if I just want to help you find this person, it shouldn't be a big problem. Send me the photo and online name, and I'll have someone check it out. If all goes well, there should be news in a few days."

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun were overjoyed when they heard this.

"That's great, thank you so much, Zhou Chen."

"It's nothing. You all just care about Xiaoxia. There are indeed a lot of scammers these days. If you don't know the ins and outs of them, you're easily deceived."

Zhou Chen knew the plot and naturally knew that Xie Xiaoxia was indeed cheated and lost all her only 30,000 yuan. Since Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun came to him for help, he just went with the flow and agreed.

Xie Xiaochun waved his hand and said, "Zhou Chen, from now on, when you go to the restaurant to drink coffee and eat, it will all be free. Nana, remember this."

Nana immediately replied: "No problem, I heard it clearly."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I won't dare to go to the restaurant anymore."

"Ha ha……"

Xie Zhiyao asked Zhou Chen curiously, "I went to see my uncle today and heard him say that your woodcarving skills have improved very quickly and you can already do simple carvings. He also said that you are the most talented person in woodcarving he has ever seen. How did you do it?"

"Learn, what else can I do?"

"I've known you for a month, too. You're such a good painter, and now you've been learning woodcarving for less than a month, but you've already made some achievements. Do you have such a high artistic talent?"

Xie Zhiyao had seen Zhou Chen's paintings, and now he knew that Zhou Chen had also learned wood carving so quickly, so he was so curious.

Zhou Chen said: "Maybe I am a person who accepts new things quickly."

“It’s not faster, it’s too fast.”

Xie Zhiyao looked at Xu Hongdou again and asked, "Xu Hongdou, you've been here for a few days, what do you think of us?"

"It's pretty good and quiet. Anyway, I'm quite relaxed these days." Xu Hongdou replied truthfully.

"By the way, is your phone repaired? I said I would compensate you half."

"No, it has just been delivered. It may take a few days."

"Oh, then come and ask me for reimbursement after you've fixed it."

As they were talking, Hu Youyu walked in from outside with a guitar on his back.

"Oh my, so many people are here today. It seems I came back at the right time."

"Teacher Hu, you're not busy today. Why are you back so early?"

"I'm really not very busy today. What are you guys talking about?"

Hu Youyu was not polite either. He put down his guitar and squeezed in to sit next to Xie Zhiyao.

Xie Zhiyao replied: "Just chatting, Mr. Hu, it happens that everyone is here today, how about you perform for us and sing a song?"

Hu Youyu's eyes lit up: "That's definitely no problem. I haven't sung enough today. If you don't mind, I'll sing one for you. What do you want to hear?"

Everyone said it was up to him to express himself freely.

Hu Youyu thought for a moment and said, "Since everyone is here, I will sing a song about friends."

"it is good!"

Everyone clapped vigorously.

Hu Youyu picked up the guitar, sat on a wooden chair with a serious expression, then suddenly smiled, played the guitar and began to sing.

The song "Friends" is still very popular, and most people can hum a few lines, so when Hu Youyu sang to the climax, Nana and others couldn't help but hum along.

The song was finished in just a few minutes and everyone started applauding again.

"Teacher Hu, you sing beautifully. Please sing another song." Damai showed a rare cheerfulness.

Hu Youyu was a little embarrassed by the praise: "It's just so-so, just so-so. I just created a new song recently and I'm still working on it. Can you guys listen to it and see how it goes for me?"

"Okay."

So Hu Youyu sang the song "Wind" which he had just composed. Maybe it was not yet completely finished and there were big flaws in some places. Anyone who knows a little about music could hear the awkwardness in his song. Even he himself was not very satisfied after singing it.

"I didn't sing it well. There are still many problems with this song. I will sing it for you after I have revised it."

Everyone was just listening for fun, and few people noticed that Hu Youyu's singing was bad. Instead, they gave him encouraging applause.

Hu Youyu looked at Nana and said, "Nana, you sing very well. Would you like to sing a song for us?"

Nana waved her hands quickly: "No, I can't. I don't sing well. You can ask Mr. Xie to sing. Sister Xiaochun sings well too."

Xie Xiaochun: "I'm tone-deaf, and I'm afraid I'll kill all of you."

Xie Zhiyao: "I'm even worse. You can ask me to work, but forget about asking me to sing."
