?Chapter 33 Persuasion [-]

In the afternoon, Yan Bian personally brought the assistant director Liu Mutao and the agent Ning Mei in the play to find Li Ziqi's house together.

When I went to Li Ziqi's house and asked about it, it was as he said, he had the right to speak at home.

Yanbian and the others originally asked the family if they could borrow a house to film for themselves with the mentality of giving it a try, but they saw that the three daughters of this family have not gone to school and are working at home, and the mother and father of the family are all facing the loess. The simple peasants who are up to the sky, only then did they understand how honorable Li Ziqi's status is as the only son in the family.

When Li Ziqi saw them coming, he immediately invited them to come in and sit down.

The three elder sisters in the family were embarrassed to greet outsiders when they saw outsiders. In the end, the third elder sister was more courageous, so she came forward and asked, strictly explaining what they were doing at home.

Li Ziqi scrambled to answer in front of the third sister, "Sister, I told you that someone from the school came to film, and you said I was bragging. They just took a fancy to my house and wanted to borrow it."

The third sister is dark, but her eyes are bright.

Said, "I didn't say you were bragging, I just said that you want to borrow the house from your family and you need to discuss it with your parents."

Li Ziqi said, "This is my house, and I can make the decision. What else can I tell them? I am the son, and the only one who will inherit the family business. You are all daughters. If you want to marry into someone else's house, it will be poured out." ..."

Li Ziqi talked about the idea that men are superior to women, and his third sister couldn't bear it any longer. She stretched out her hand and joked to cover his mouth, but Li Ziqi immediately hid, and the two siblings fought together. Chasing and playing in the courtyard dam.

Finally stopped, Li Ziqi said, "Okay, they are all listening to me, third sister, don't worry."

Li Sanjie was still smiling, her face was flushed after running, her smile was shy and simple, and there was something inexplicable in it.

It's not easy for her to say anything about her younger brother, so she has no choice but to take her younger brother.

So he led Yan Bian and them into the house, and entertained them with tea.

Girls in rural areas have to be more diligent in their hands and feet. I met Yan Yan, and basically understood the living conditions and lifestyles of this family. Thank you, Third Sister, and asked if the parents of the family are at home, and said that they wanted to talk to Li's parents. Talk about filming a TV series.

The third sister just smiled, her bright eyes flickered, and she said, "Yes, they are working in the backyard. I'll find them for you."

As he spoke, he turned around and ran away, his black braids flung behind him, his back was quite youthful and beautiful.

Yan Bian, Ning Mei, and Liu Mutao sat in the hall of the Li family and looked around without saying a word. After a while, the father of the Li family came.

I know that the elder sisters in this family don't care about their affairs, and their words are useless, but I don't know if it will be useful as a parent.

After a while, a farmer came in, dressed in blue khaki, with mud on his feet. Yan Bian knew that this was Li's father, and immediately stood up and shook hands with him.

First of all, I said that I really came to borrow a house, and that Li Ziqi was selected as an actor in the play, and I hope my family can agree to these two things.

Father Li was quite honest and sincere, he didn't know what Yan Bian said, but just now the third daughter came to call him in a hurry, when he heard that it was related to the youngest in the family, he put down the matter and came over in a hurry.

Li Ziqi came into the room, mixed half dialect and half mandarin, and had a rough meal with his father. The father saw that he couldn't entangle his son, so he agreed.

After agreeing, he was afraid that he had made a wrong decision, so he asked Li Ziqi, "Otherwise, please invite your uncle back to ask, your uncle has seen a lot, no more than us..."

Li Ziqi couldn't bear to listen to his father's words, he just said, "I know, I know", and then pushed his father out to get busy, then turned his head and winked at Yan Bian and the others, laughing.

Yan Bian almost thought that this matter could not be done, but now that it was done, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded towards Li Ziqi.

The face under the peaked cap is a look of praise.

Li Ziqi said, "Director, the matter is settled now, I want to act with my buddy Xu Yunen, okay?"

Yan Bian agreed, "No problem."

Li Ziqi was triumphant and excited at the same time.

Things here are going smoothly. When I came out of Li Ziqi's house, Yan Yan said, "Now that the big problem has been solved, I will trouble Ning Jie to go to the child's house surnamed Xu in the afternoon to obtain his parents' request. And it's done."

Ning Mei also felt that there should be no difficulties in the next thing, so she said, "Yes, I will go to the house in the afternoon to find the parents of the child, and if I talk about it, it should be possible."

So the three of them came out from Li Ziqi's house, and Yan Bian and Liu Mutao rushed to meet the crew to get busy with filming.

Ning Mei said goodbye to the two of them, and went to the Xu family's house that she had inquired about before.

I found Mrs. Fu's house, knocked on the door, and saw an old woman who came out to answer the door.

Aunt Fu saw that Ning Mei was born in the face, but she didn't know her. Everyone in the township of Qu County knew her back and forth, so she asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Ning Mei smiled and said, "Ma'am, this is Xu Yunen's house, right?"

Mrs. Fu said, "Yes."

Ning Mei immediately confirmed that she did not make a mistake, and said kindly, "Auntie, hello, we are from the film crew of City A, and we are here to film in Qu County. I want to find Xu Yunen's father, is he there?"

When Mrs. Fu heard that she was looking for Xu Zhenhua, she said, "Oh, you want to look for him. He just went out and is not at home now. Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Ning Mei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that the father of the child was not here.

I don't know who this old woman belongs to Xu Yunen. Mrs. Fu invited her to come in and sit down, but she just nodded and accepted.

When I entered the Fu family's house, I saw that the family's house was neatly repaired and the courtyard was well-swept and bright. It was different from the houses I had seen in the farmers' houses in Qu County.

At first I thought it was the reason for the newly built cement house, but after looking at it later, I felt that it was not entirely the case.

This family's house has a different atmosphere from ordinary people. Although Ning Mei still doesn't know what it is, she stands in the hall and looks around slowly. She feels that the place is quiet and clean, and she still feels the special atmosphere of Xu's family. .

The courtyard was quiet. At this time, the owner's dog ran out. When he saw Ning Mei standing in the living room, he didn't shout or shout, but just stood a few steps away and looked at the stranger.

Ning Mei withdrew her scrutiny, and turned her head to find a puppy on the ground. She was not afraid of the dog, so she stretched out her hand and beckoned the little guy to come over.

An An walked over waddlingly, and Ning Mei was just about to squat down and pet it when Aunt Fu came in with tea.

Said, "Oh, this guy has come out, don't touch it, you are pregnant with a cub, don't be afraid, it usually doesn't bite, be good, understand people's language."

Ning Mei shook her head with a smile, and said, "No, the dog is quite cute. I wonder what breed it is?"

Mrs. Fu said, "Hey, what kind of toys are you buying for children on the street, they are worthless."

Ning Mei thought, oh, that must be a pet bought by the child's parents.

But then I thought again, no, country people keep dogs and cats for the purpose of catching rats and preventing theft, how could someone be so leisurely as to raise a half-animal as a pet.

This is not the living habits of country people, it seems, nor is it their cognitive habits....

This family is indeed different, Ning Mei thought.

She went to the living room and sat down, and Mrs. Fu poured tea for her again.

Remembering that he was looking for Xu Zhenhua earlier, he asked, "What is it that you are looking for the child's father?"

Ning Mei just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then stopped immediately, and said, "It's such an aunt, our crew has spotted your grandson, and we want him to act. I think your grandson is suitable for being on camera, so I just want to visit my home to see if the child’s parents can agree.”

When Aunt Fu heard that Ning Mei regarded herself as Yun En's grandma and grandma, she immediately shook her head and said, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, Yun En's child is not my grandson, my grandson is now following my son The daughter is living with her, and if you want to talk to the father of the child, you just sit here and wait, he has gone to work in the county, and he may be back in a while, you don’t think it’s too difficult to wait, just sit and have a cup of tea and rest.”

But then he said, "It turned out that Xiao Yun'er was chosen as an actor. Oh, this is a good thing. I don't know what Zhenhua thinks when he comes back. He is the father of the child. I am not. You have to wait for him." Okay girl, don't you mind waiting?"

Ning Mei didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Fu's words at first, but when she saw that the other party asked her to sit down and wait, she had no choice but to sit down and wait.

Leng Leng nodded, and thanked the host for the hospitality.

Sitting on the sofa and waiting for the time to pass bit by bit.

Afterwards, Aunt Fu left to get busy with other things. After thinking about it for a while, she realized that what Aunt Fu said just now meant that Xu Yunen was not her grandson, but someone else.

As for who else it was, I didn't say that. Ning Mei thought about it and felt a little strange about it.

An old man lives with a child, and the two are not grandparents, so what else could be the relationship?

Her eyes stayed on the floating tea leaves rising and falling in the teacup, and she guessed vaguely in her heart, but she couldn't think of anything, only knew that the child's father was Xu Zhenhua.

Ning Mei opened her palm and looked at it, feeling a little bored waiting for someone.

Aunt Fu came back from a busy schedule and saw that she was still sitting on the sofa without moving, and she had never turned on the TV to watch.

She hurried into the hallway, "Oh, you haven't come back yet, girl, are you in a hurry?"

Ning Mei raised her eyes at this moment, looked at Aunt Fu and politely denied it, "Auntie, it's all right, I don't know when the father of the child will come back?"

Mrs. Fu went over to help her turn on the TV, said, "I don't know," and then said, "You can tune the TV to watch, just sit and wait, it's boring."

Ning Mei saw that it was already five o'clock, and she didn't know when she would be able to wait any longer.

She bid farewell to Aunt Fu and said, "Auntie, how about I come back tomorrow? Can the father of the child be at home tomorrow?"

Aunt Fu didn't know Xu Zhenhua's itinerary, but she probably guessed that he would not go back to K city, so she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, girl, you have something to do today, come back tomorrow, I will tell Zhenhua first, Let him wait for you."

Ning Mei smiled brightly and charmingly when she heard this, and said thank you Madam Fu.

Seeing her leaving, Mrs. Fu was very polite and had a charming smile, so she couldn't help saying, "This girl is handsome."

Then Xu Zhenhua came back half an hour after Ning Mei left.

He rushed to the school to pick up Yun En from school, the two held hands, the big and small shadows were dragged back.

Aunt Fu was happy to see him come back, so she put Ning Mei's matter aside and went to make dinner.

Ning Mei wasted an afternoon in Fu's house, unable to say anything, so she had to bid farewell at the end, and walked back to the set alone.

Back in the group, both Yan Bian and Liu Mutao thought she had finished the matter.

Ask, "Agreed?"

Ning Mei couldn't tell from her expression, she just paused before hesitating, "No, the child's parents are not at home, only an old man is at home to take care of him, but he is not a relative of the child, so I can't talk to anyone, so I can only come back first .”

Yan Bian didn't expect that the most important matter of borrowing the venue would be settled, and there would be another problem here.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ning Mei for a while, but he didn't speak, but the content of his eyes was richer than his words.

There was a moment of silence, and seeing that Ning Mei was also silent, he never liked to talk too much, but he just reminded him at the end, "Then go and see tomorrow, we will shoot the scene first, hurry up, there will be no results tomorrow, it depends .”

His complexion was not good-looking, and his tone was serious and urgent.

Ning Mei nodded, and knew that he was acting angry.

When they were talking, everyone in the crew was there, and when they met Yan Yan and asked questions, they naturally thought it was an important matter, and they had to wait for the director to intervene in person, so everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Ning Mei failed to do a good job and was reprimanded by the director.

Yan Bian turned around and left Ning Mei alone.

She looked bad.

Everyone glanced at her hurriedly, and knew that it was not convenient to stay here for a long time, so they started to move around one after another, doing whatever they needed to do.

Zhang Ze felt a little compassion for Ning Mei, and he couldn't bear to see her being strictly edited. Seeing that everyone avoided suspicion and did not go forward to comfort her.

He walked over to comfort him and said, "Sister Ning, don't worry too much. Director Yan has that temper, you know..."

Ning Mei just pretended to be trained by the strict editor just now and didn't think it was a problem. Zhang Ze came up to care like this, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Immediately interrupted Zhang Ze, said, "Yes, Xiao Zhang, I know all about it."

Zhang Ze saw a look of panic flashing across her face, and he also knew that he had made a mistake.

She shouldn't come up to care about Ning Mei, but it made her feel even more uncomfortable with her strong self-esteem.

Ning Mei braced herself up again at this time, not wanting to show her frustration and incompetence in front of outsiders, so she smoothed her hair, took a breath, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, Xiaozhang, thank you."

Seeing her like this, Zhang Ze knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so he nodded and walked away by himself.

Tang Yan was just now getting ready to put on makeup in the hut next to the yard, and a scene of her will start filming in the evening.

When she heard movement in the courtyard, she stopped writing and ran out to look.

Seeing the scene where Ning Mei was deflated, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and she felt disdainful, but Ning Mei was still a little sweaty.

After all, it's not fun to anger the director. If the director is in a bad mood, the whole crew will be implicated.

She wondered how Ning Mei would be scolded to such an extent, and then thought, this is what she deserved.

For Tang Yan, she was faintly surprised that someone like Ning Mei with such strong working ability would sometimes fail to do things well.

When she was signed into the company at the beginning, it was because she saw that Ning Mei was careful and safe, so she was arranged under Ning Mei.

But unexpectedly, it was the first time for the two to work together, Tang Yan felt both disdainful and a little apprehensive towards Ning Mei.

She was afraid of Ning Mei's previous status in the industry, but she disdain it because she has now fallen from an actress to a job for an actor.

Tang Yan was a little scared, wondering if she would do the same.

But then she immediately denied herself, thinking that she was young and beautiful, and worked hard, so how could she not be popular?

It was Ning Mei who was stupid and offended the investors, so she was hidden by the company, and no one will ever praise her again, even though she was already a smash hit at that time, and Zhang Ze couldn't compare her worth.

But now...

Tang Yan couldn't bear to take a closer look. It was a pity for Ning Mei's previous achievements, but she also felt that it was all in the past. Now that she is in such a state of desperation, she will be reduced to the point where she will be embarrassed by a new young director. The man looked at the pouted and shook his head.

She pouted her nose, thinking that this scene is really interesting to watch or not, because watching it for nothing makes people feel unhappy.

In the next scene, the heroine's innocence will be shown.

I went back to sit in front of the dressing table, and went to concentrate on drawing my eyebrows again.
