Chapter 4 Eating

Zhao Hong has always been a well-behaved child in the eyes of her parents. She has excelled in all kinds of ways since she was a child. She received a pile of certificates at school, probably as many as dozens. She didn't even bother to write them on the wall. Her mother collected them all.

He also hasn't done anything rebellious since he was a child, so the elders in his family like him very much.

Just as Zhao Hong finished washing her hands and sat down at the dining table, her mother Wang Xiuxiu couldn't help but said: "Hongzi! I heard from Xiaobin that you came back in Lili's car. Why didn't you ask Lili to come home?"

, Xiao Bin is the driver who takes Zhao Hong to school. "Sister Su said that she has something to deal with urgently, and she also wants to have dinner with Mr. Su!" Of course, Zhao Hong would not say anything secret, so she had to let it go.

A panic.

When the mother was still talking about something, the old man said, "Don't talk during meal time. Eat first before talking about anything." Neither the mother nor Zhao Hong were talking. As the head of the family, the old man's authority cannot be challenged.

The Zhao family is not allowed to talk when eating. In the words of the old man, this is a rule, a rule left by the ancestors. Silence during eating and sleeping is a manifestation of health and cultivation. Whether a family is cultivated or not, is reflected at the dining table.

It can be reflected, so the old man pays great attention to the appearance and behavior of his family members.

Of course, this does not mean that the old man is just an old antique and stubborn. He still appreciates the fact that young people do not follow the rules. He advocates being low-key and doing things in a high-profile, and he is very funny and elegant in his conversation. He has the style of a generation of elegant people, something that young people love to play.

, he will also try to get in touch with them. Sometimes he is also an old naughty boy. In the end, I can only say that he can be serious and cute at the same time. He is a rigorous and humorous old man.

While eating, her sister glanced at Zhao Hong. Did she mean to ask her what was going on? Zhao Hong pretended to be concentrating on eating and pretended not to notice her eyes, but she was so angry that her teeth started to itch.

, you can only give him a look that looks as good as yours.

Everyone finished the meal in a quiet atmosphere, "Hongzi, come with me for a walk in the yard later!" The old man was washing his hands in the basin while talking. His habit is to take a walk to eat after eating. The old man keeps in shape by doing

He is very good at practicing Tai Chi, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and other traditional martial arts. He looks like a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties.

Zhao Hong knows that the most important step is whether he can become a director without being arranged by his family. As long as the old man agrees to let him go to the mainland to study, everyone else can say it. Yesterday, when his father asked Zhao Hong where he planned to go to college,

He told his father that he was going to study in the directing department of Nortel in mainland China. His father couldn't understand his choice.

Zhao Hong has been ranked first in his class in academic performance since he was a child, regardless of whether he skipped a grade or not. His extracurricular skills in piano, painting and sports are all excellent. Zhao Zuxing knows that with his son's situation, he can study in universities all over the world. What about Harvard and

Wouldn't it be better to choose Cambridge instead of going to an unknown school in mainland China to study directing in the United States?

Zhao Hong could only say that he wanted to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and understand all aspects of the mainland. He liked ancient culture very much and he wanted to go to the mainland to experience it. Of course, Zhao Hong would not say that the mainland's cultural industry would be the same in twenty years.

It will rise rapidly, Hong Kong's movies will die, and I plan to become a director. Mainland is a market that I can't give up. Moreover, Mainland and Hong Kong have the same roots and have the same culture, isn't it? Only nationality is the world's.

, and if you don’t understand the culture of your own nation, you won’t be able to make a classic photo.

I have a system in hand, so I can’t learn any techniques. What I lack is the richness of culture and the openness of mind. Directors without a broad vision cannot produce epic works with great atmosphere. Only those in Hong Kong who have such a vision can

Director Li Hanxiang, other people's films are not good. It's not that they can't make movies, but they can't make them with atmosphere and a strong sense of history. So what the hell is John Woo's Three Kingdoms in later generations? It simply destroys the three views. Can it be

Did he say he couldn't direct a play?

There is no doubt that those who can succeed in Hollywood have directing ability. What is the reason why they failed to film the Three Kingdoms well? It is obviously because the culture is not rich enough and he himself is not broad-minded enough.

"Okay, Grandpa!" Zhao Hong finished the last meal nervously and quickly, then stood up to help the old man. "I'm not old yet! I can walk by myself." After saying that, she saw the old man moving nimbly on his seat.

He got up and strolled outside. Zhao Hong had no choice but to follow behind and walk outside.

No one in the family came forward to disturb him. When Zhao Hong walked into the yard and was about to say something, the old man said again: "Let's take a quiet walk with the old man first." After walking in the yard for more than ten minutes,

The old man then said: "Although I don't know what you think about going to study in the Mainland, I still hope that you will be careful when making choices on the road of life, because this is something that will affect you for the rest of your life. Can you

Tell me what you think?"

At this time, Zhao Hong had calmed down. No matter how this happened, he would always have to face it. Hearing his grandfather's words, he became cautious and replied in a low voice: "Sooner or later, the sovereignty of Xiangjiang will be taken back by the mainland. Now

Going to the Mainland just expresses an attitude, which will be good for the future. Also, I like to make movies. If you want to be a good director, you must be rooted in your own culture. Xiangjiang is too small and narrow. Only in the vastness can

Only by experiencing the mainland for yourself can you broaden your horizons, which is good for your cultural accomplishment."

"Also, the film market in Xiangjiang is too small. Going to the mainland to study can expand your network of contacts, so that the films you direct can be released in the mainland in the future.", Zhao Hong continued.

"Why did you choose to be a director? Isn't it good for you to go to university to study management and work in your bank? Sooner or later, your career will be yours." Grandpa said puzzledly.

"Grandpa, you know that I like movies very much. I have read many professional books on this topic since I was a child. Now most of my study room is full of these books. And I think that being a director can better realize my personal value. As a businessman, I will not leave my name.

It’s a piece of history, and a director can leave something for future generations. A good director should be remembered by future generations. And don’t we still have my sister in our company? I believe it’s enough to have my sister.”, Zhao Hong replied.

.

The old man asked again: "How do you believe that you can be a good director? No matter what industry, there are only a few who can succeed."

Zhao Hong said confidently: "Old man, don't you know? I published some film reviews in Ming Pao under a pseudonym, and I am quite famous in the criticism circle! Fortunately, those who are unsuccessful should not have the money to make movies for them.

, I just have no talent. And I think I can direct movies now, not to mention that I still have to study for four years. Our family has no shortage of money, and I believe I will be able to get ahead. Besides, I have inherited this talent from my family.

With excellent genes, there is no problem as long as you study hard on anything. If it doesn’t work out, it’s not too late to inherit the family business! My dad is still young now, so he can work for twenty years without any problem!”

In the following conversation, the old man asked many questions, and his own Yiyi answered them. Finally, the grandpa said: "Hongzi, I agree with you first, but if it doesn't work, don't force it. You can come back and inherit the family business. Your father will always have to
