The world of film and television begins from childhood

"I've heard of him, but I don't know much about him."

……

Zhou Chen also commented: "Brother is indeed a groundbreaking superstar, and Farewell My Concubine is indeed a rare good movie. I mainly have other more important things to do tomorrow, otherwise, I would also like to watch this movie."

"Look, look, Zhou Chen is the one who knows what he is talking about."

Hearing Zhou Chen agree with what he said, Qiu Shui suddenly shouted excitedly as if he had seen a comrade.

Du Zhong said: "Hearing you say this, I want to go watch this movie."

Qiu Shui said: "Then why are you hesitating? Let's go together."

Du Zhong thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's too far, I won't go."

"Tsk, you guys really have no romance at all. Zhou Chen, what important things do you have tomorrow that you don't even want to watch such a good movie?"

Qiu Shui didn’t care whether others went to see it or not, but what he cared about most was whether Zhou Chen went or not.

Zhou Chen didn't say it explicitly, but said: "Anyway, it's more important than watching a movie. If you want to go to the movies, find a way to get tickets first."

Chapter 303 A Different Zhao Yingnan

Zhao Yingnan, who was sitting at the table next to Zhou Chen and the others, was listening to the boys' conversation with her ears perked up.

When she heard Zhou Chen refused Qiu Shui's request to go to the movies and wanted to do more important things, a smile appeared on her lips.

“He hasn’t forgotten.”

Zhao Yingnan thought happily in her heart that she had been waiting for Zhou Chen to invite her to dinner, but unfortunately they had not been able to leave the military camp. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity tomorrow.

It’s just that she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to find Zhou Chen, so she was waiting for Zhou Chen to invite her.

The important thing Zhou Chen mentioned was indeed to invite Zhao Yingnan to dinner. He had promised to do this several months ago. Now that it was a new year, and he had a rare day off tomorrow, he must fulfill his promise.

Because there were too many people in the cafeteria, he planned to wait until after dinner to talk to Zhao Yingnan about this in private.

Zhou Chen deliberately slowed down his eating speed, and then asked Qiu Shui and others who were urging him to leave first.

Zhao Yingnan also did something similar. She was waiting for Zhou Chen. When Zhou Chen didn't leave, she wasn't ready to leave either.

When most people in the cafeteria had left, Zhou Chen stood up and prepared to tell Zhao Yingnan about tomorrow's affairs.

But just as he stood up and hadn't taken a step, someone suddenly ran in front of him.

"Zhou Chen."

"Liu Tingting."

Zhou Chen looked at Liu Tingting, who was standing in front of him with a smile on her face, with a slightly surprised expression. He didn't have much contact with Liu Tingting.

Liu Tingting smiled and asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, tomorrow is your day off, where are you going? My dad will send a car to pick me up tomorrow. If you want to go to the city, I can take you there. It's a quick trip back and forth."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chen expectantly.

Zhou Chen immediately understood what Liu Tingting meant, so he said politely: "No, I won't go to the city tomorrow. Thank you, Liu Tingting."

"If you don't want to go to the city, then where are you going? I'm not familiar with this place, how about we go out for a walk together?"

Liu Tingting, who was rejected, did not give up and invited Zhou Chen again, this time wanting to go out for a walk with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen refused again: "I'm sorry, Liu Tingting, I already have an appointment tomorrow."

Liu Tingting's face suddenly changed and she asked, "Who did you meet?"

"I made an appointment."

Zhao Yingnan walked over slowly, looked at Liu Tingting calmly, and said, "The person he made an appointment with is me, right, Zhou Chen."

Seeing that Zhao Yingnan admitted it openly, Zhou Chen naturally would not hide it.

"Yes, Zhao Yingnan and I have already made an appointment to go to the county town tomorrow, so I'm sorry, classmate Liu Tingting."

Staring at by Zhao Yingnan's aggressive gaze, even the spoiled Liu Tingting felt uncomfortable and embarrassed.

"Forget it then, Zhou Chen, squad leader, I wish you all a good time tomorrow."

After saying that, he quickly fled the cafeteria.

After Liu Tingting left, Zhao Yingnan put away her domineering attitude and turned to Zhou Chen and said, "Zhou Chen, you are quite charming. Liu Tingting even took the initiative to ask you out."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "This is not important to me. What's important is that you just promised me that we can go to the county town for dinner together tomorrow?"

Zhao Yingnan's face turned red. She was very unhappy when she saw Liu Tingting taking the initiative to ask Zhou Chen out, so she walked over and drove Liu Tingting away in a domineering manner.

Now that I think about it, my posture just now clearly revealed my thoughts.

"Why, squad leader, do you regret it?"

Although Zhao Yingnan was shy, she still said firmly: "I am a person who keeps my word. Since I promised you, I will not regret it. But where are you going to take me to eat?"

Zhou Chen had already made plans and replied, "I've already asked around. It's definitely too late to go to Yanjing City, but the surrounding counties are still fine. There's a Western restaurant in the county, so let's go there."

"Western restaurants? There are Western restaurants in the county?"

Zhao Yingnan was very surprised. Western restaurants were still very rare in this era. She had grown up in a military compound and had never been to a Western restaurant.

"There is one, but I don't know what it is like. Let's go take a look."

Zhou Chen naturally prefers Chinese food, but now in China, except for big hotels, the environment of small restaurants is really average.

This time I'm going out with a girl, so it's not suitable to go to a small restaurant. But are there any decent big restaurants in the county? The environment of a western restaurant is relatively better than that of a small restaurant, and it has more style.

Zhao Yingnan said calmly, "I'll listen to you, but the military camp is quite a distance away from the county town. How about I borrow two bicycles and we ride there?"

"no problem."

It was impossible to borrow a car in the military camp, and they couldn't walk there, so riding a bicycle was the best option.

That night, a group of people in the dormitory were still discussing where to go for fun, and they chatted until late at night before going to bed.

The next morning, after Zhou Chen washed up, he went to the agreed location. When he arrived, Zhao Yingnan was already waiting there.

"Zhao Yingnan, you're here so early."

Zhao Yingnan smiled and said, "I got up early to borrow a car, but I only borrowed one." As he said this, he showed a regretful expression.

Zhou Chen laughed secretly in his heart, this girl has also learned to lie.

However, Zhou Chen was not angry about this lie. It was impossible for men and women to be honest with each other forever.

It's not a bad thing to be scheming, as long as you know what you use your scheming for. Even if you use some tricks for the person you like, it won't be annoying.

"Just one, I'll take you on my bike."

"Really, can you?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Men can't say no, leave it to me."

Zhao Yingnan today is completely different from before. She has short hair, wears a white turtleneck sweater, a blue collarless jacket, dark blue jeans and white sneakers. She has swept away the rigid and serious military training uniform and looks exceptionally youthful and beautiful.

Although he sounded confident, to be honest, he hadn't ridden a bicycle for decades.

He took the bicycle from Zhao Yingnan, grabbed the handlebars, and rode it. It felt okay, so he said to Zhao Yingnan, "Come on."

Zhao Yingnan sat in the back seat with a smile on her face. Zhou Chen pedaled hard and the bicycle immediately moved forward.

"good."

Zhou Chen was very satisfied with the smooth riding process. Except for the unstable steering wheel at the beginning, everything went smoothly.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

Zhou Chen shouted loudly and immediately increased his pedaling speed, and the speed of the bicycle soared instantly.

Zhao Yingnan was originally grabbing Zhou Chen's clothes, but when Zhou Chen sped up, she was so scared that she quickly hugged Zhou Chen's waist to stabilize her body.

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't react, Zhao Yingnan smiled sweetly and didn't let go of her hand, just holding Zhou Chen's waist.

Although there was no mobile navigation, the route was relatively simple. It took Zhou Chen dozens of minutes to reach the county town closest to the military camp.

Because they arrived early and there were still a few hours before lunch time, Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan were not in a hurry. Instead, they pushed their bicycles and strolled around the county town.

I don’t know if today is a good day, but there are a lot of people in the county town, and there are vendors selling all kinds of things, it’s very lively.

Zhao Yingnan, who has always been self-disciplined, is like a child at this moment, looking around excitedly, looking at the jewelry on the stalls, and then looking at various fun toys.

After a while, Zhao Yingnan's hands were full of things. In her left hand, she had a windmill and a crystal bracelet, and in her right hand, she had a marshmallow bigger than her head and a small sugar man.

Looking at the lively and excited Zhao Yingnan, Zhou Chen was very surprised. He didn't expect that this squad leader had such an interesting side.

The two of them played for more than two hours, and then at Zhou Chen's invitation, Zhao Yingnan reluctantly left, and before leaving she took a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

There was only one western restaurant in this county town, so Zhou Chen and his friends easily found their destination.

There are relatively few people who eat Western food in the county town. When Zhou Chen and his friends arrived at the Western restaurant, there was only one table of guests in the huge restaurant.

From Zhou Chen's perspective, the environment of this western restaurant is really low-end, but in this era, it is considered good.

Zhao Yingnan had been talking non-stop all the way, so when they arrived at the restaurant, he wasn't talking much and just ordered a steak and a drink.

Zhao Yingnan held her chin with one hand and looked at Zhou Chen who was helping her cut the steak with a smile.

At this moment, she felt that Zhou Chen was particularly handsome, and also felt that she was particularly sweet and happy.

"Here, it's cut up, you can eat it with a fork."

Zhou Chen brought the cut steak to Zhao Yingnan.

Zhao Yingnan looked at the steak in front of him and asked curiously, "I saw on TV that steak tastes best when it's medium rare. Why did you order it medium rare?"

Zhou Chen said, "This is your first time eating steak, you will definitely not be used to it being medium rare. Not to mention you, even I would want it to be at least medium rare. Those things on TV are mostly acting. We eat to fill ourselves up, not to show off, so don't think too much, let's just eat our food."

He has lived for decades and has seen all kinds of people. Not only has he seen people eat steaks rare, he has even seen them eat them raw.

However, he just couldn't stand that way of cooking. Damn, they didn't want to eat the cooked food but had to eat it raw. Does that mean the foreign way of eating is more delicious?

Unless it is a special situation, he seldom goes to a Western restaurant. Even if he goes to a Western restaurant, he will order dishes according to his own way of eating and will not care about other people's opinions at all.

Chinese cuisine is extensive and profound, with thousands of years of tradition. Could it be that it is not as good as the eating habits of foreign countries that have been around for hundreds of years?

"Oh."

Zhao Yingnan didn't quite understand the twists and turns involved, but she absolutely believed what Zhou Chen said, so she picked up the fork and started eating.

Although it is a small place, the cost of Western-style restaurants is not low. If it weren't for his royalties, he really couldn't afford to eat there a few times.

After dinner, Zhou Chen and Zhao Yingnan did not return to the barracks immediately, but went shopping in the county town again and bought a lot of small things.

Zhao Yingnan was a very educated person. Except for lunch which was treated by Zhou Chen, she bought everything else with her own money. When Zhou Chen wanted to pay, she refused.

Such qualities are really rare decades later. In his real world, when a man and a woman went out to play, many women would want to move the shopping mall back home. If the man let the woman pay for the things, being called a scumbag would be the least of his worries.

This era is still good.

Zhao Yingnan had a great time on this trip to the county town, and their relationship also improved a lot.

It was not until the evening that the two rode back. To Zhou Chen's surprise, they met an acquaintance before they even left the county.

Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong.

I don't know when these two people got together, and they were actually riding the same bicycle.

Chapter 304 Knowledge Contest, Qiu Shui is capable

"You two, are you here to watch a movie?"

Zhou Chen looked at Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong with a smile. At this moment, Qiu Shui was riding the bicycle, and Xiao Hong got off the back seat and looked at Zhou Chen and Xiao Hong with the same surprise.

"Uh, well, I, we."

Qiu Shui felt as embarrassed as if he had been caught, and was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Xiao Hong smiled and said, "Yes, we just made an appointment to watch a movie together, Farewell My Concubine, it's really good."

"Why are you two here in the county? Are you on a date?"

Zhao Yingnan said, "You can come to watch a movie, so why can't we come to the county town to have fun?"

Xiao Hong smiled slyly and said, "Yes, of course I can. But I didn't expect you, squad leader, to fall so quickly, hehe."
