Older people usually have a broader mentality and are more tolerant towards many things, but they are also very stubborn when it comes to persistence and are easy to get into trouble.
Chen Muhua has always believed that the reason why his daughter has not been able to quit the entertainment industry after the last incident is because of the inaction of Erjing Film and Television.
Naturally, his impression of Erjing Film and Television was not very good, and of course that included Zhang Jiuliang, the boss behind the scenes.
Therefore, Chen Muhua did not want to answer the call from Zhang Jiuliang at all.
Go back to the house and sleep.
The next morning.
Lack of sleep in old age is a major trouble that plagues the elderly. After washing, Chen Muhua looked in the mirror and sighed with emotion, "Time is ruthless", and then left home and strolled along the tree-lined paths of Wutong Mountain.
In spring, when flowers are in full bloom and trees are growing, Wutongshan Villa Area is filled with the smell of spring.
Since the name of the community has the word Wutong, the existence of Wutong trees is naturally indispensable.
On a wide road in the north of the villa area.
There are no houses here, just a road leading to the villa and the exit.
There are sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road here, extending from the exit of the community to the depths of the road, a full two miles long. It is only the season of March, and the sycamore trees have not yet bloomed, but the buds have already sprouted on their tips, blowing in the wind.
put.
Chen Muhua walked slowly on this road, breathing in the fragrance under the sycamore trees, and his whole mood seemed to have risen to another level.
"If it doesn't work, just let her go."
For a moment, Chen Muhua actually decided not to worry about his daughter's marriage anymore and allowed everything to develop freely.
But this idea was immediately killed by him.
Think about something.
Is it okay for my daughter to remain unmarried for the rest of her life?
Specification is not possible.
"We still have to think of a way."
Just as Chen Muhua was thinking about how to find new ways to solve his daughter's marriage problem, a black figure appeared in front of him and attracted his attention.
"Hey! Uncle Chen, I'm Xiao Liang! I'm the Xiao Liang from Erjing Film and Television, do you remember?"
As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come early, so the two of them met under the sycamore tree.
Chen Muhua looked at Zhang Jiuliang, then turned and left.
How could Liangliang let him leave? She hurriedly followed up, raised the small bag in her hand and asked: "Uncle, have you had breakfast? I brought you some breakfast, including steamed buns, eight-treasure porridge, eggs, grilled sausages,
There’s also a big fried dough stick.”
Chen Muhua glanced at the breakfasts and swallowed calmly.
Liangliang is so exquisite and translucent that you can't miss this little move by Chen Muhua. He chuckled and said, "Let's have breakfast first and chat while eating."
After that, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he pulled him to the chair on the roadside.
Chen Muhua was indeed a little hungry. He hadn't eaten since he got up in the morning, so he hesitated for a moment and sat down to eat without hesitation.
Since he ate other people's food, Chen Muhua's attitude naturally became much better and asked: "What do you want to see me for?"
Liangliang skillfully peeled the eggs through the bag and handed them to Chen Muhua. Hearing this, he replied: "Look at what you said, uncle. Do I have to come to you if I have something to do? In fact, I just came to chat with you today and talk about my heart.
."
Chat, have a heart-to-heart talk?
Chen Muhua didn't believe it.
But he didn't say anything. He took the peeled egg and ate it slowly, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
Talk about it.
No one has been willing to chat with him for a long time.
In fact, Zhang Jiuliang really wasn't talking nonsense. She stayed with Chen Muhua all day long.
Eat in the morning.
Fishing in the morning.
Near noon, I went to buy some sauerkraut ingredients. At noon, the gambling king personally killed the three kilograms of grass carp he caught and made a meal of sauerkraut and fish at Chen Muhua's house. The whole family was satisfied with the snacks.
Then the elder Chen Muhua went to take a nap for an hour, and the gambling king started cleaning the house until the old man woke up.
"Do you have any other plans for the afternoon?" Chen Muhua took a sip of tea and asked cheerfully.
Although he didn't know what the purpose of this little girl was, he hadn't felt as happy as he did today for a long time, so he didn't care about the so-called purpose. He only cared about where the other party would take him next.
"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I have arranged everything for you."
The gambling king has indeed made arrangements.
The entertainment venue in the afternoon is the chess and card room, a gathering place for middle-aged and elderly people.
You can play chess, poker, and mahjong here, but they only accept cash.
Chen Muhua has never been to such a place before, because of his sensitive identity, and he is not very interested in these things.
But it was rare that he was happy today, so he just followed the little girl and looked around, finding it very interesting.
The only thing that surprised him was that this little girl didn't seem to have very good luck today.
You lose money when you play poker, and you lose money when you play mahjong.
wrong.
It seems like he never won at all.
Could it be that he was tricked by a gang?
Thinking of this, Chen Muhua squinted his eyes and stood behind the gambling king, intending to help her monitor the movements of the other three people to see if there were any irregularities.
But until this girl lost everything, he didn't see any problem.
"Alas! My luck is really bad today, how about you, uncle?" Liang Liang stood up helplessly after losing the special funds given by her brother today.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Chen Muhua didn't want to play at first, but he always felt that there must be something wrong with Liangliang's constant losing, so he wanted to try it himself to see if he would keep losing.
"Uncle comes up with two."
"This 90,000 yuan cannot be fired, it is designated to be fired."
"Three bars are coming! Hey, no matter whether they are barking or not, collect the money first and then talk about it."
Then.
The old man and the young man went home devastated.
"Sure enough, we are all very unlucky today. We will fight again tomorrow, and we will fight again tomorrow." Liangliang felt unhappy after losing money, and sighed and shook his head.
Chen Muhua opened his mouth hesitantly, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Liangliang did not have dinner at Chen Muhua's house because Sui Xi was about to come back at this time. In order to avoid Sui Xi finding out the problem, the old man and the young one said goodbye to each other at the gate of the community very wisely.
"How did things go? In the evening, Jiang Bei sneaked into the kitchen while Liangliang was washing dishes and asked.
"I first exchanged feelings with Uncle Chen today, and I should be able to talk about business with him tomorrow." Liang Liang said.
"Then you have to hurry up. I heard your sister-in-law say that she has asked Li Shushu to find connections, saying that the review will be approved in a few days." Jiang Bei whispered.
"Don't worry, brother, everything is under the control of Ancheng Gambling King." Liangliang said with a confident look on his face.
...
The next day.
The gambling king of Ancheng once again went to the Wutongshan villa area with public funds. It was still the same place. Chen Muhua, who was leaning on crutches, was already sitting on a chair and waiting quietly.
"Tell me, what do you want to do with my old man?" Chen Muhua asked cheerfully while eating the eggs handed over by the gambling king.
Hearing this, Liangliang picked up a tissue and wiped her hands, he chuckled and said, "Uncle, really, why do you always feel like I have something to ask you for?"
"What else? It's okay, why don't you hang out with me like an old man here?" Chen Muhua asked curiously.
When Liangliang heard this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, he rubbed his hands and said, "Uncle, it's really okay. I actually did this to apologize and come here to atone for my sins."
"Oh!" Chen Muhua teased in a longer tone, "You and I have nothing to do with each other, so what can we do to atone for our sins?"
"Look at what you said, didn't we cooperate in private once before? I did something wrong in that matter. I hope that you, uncle, will not remember the faults of villains and don't take it personally." Liang Liang finished speaking.
He quickly stood up and bowed gracefully to show his sincerity.
That incident was naturally caused by Chen Muhua and Erjing Film and Television jointly suppressing the cultural and creative entertainment industry last year. The incident ended with their victory; but the promise made by Erjing Film and Television to Chen Muhua was not followed up. It was filmed after using him.
The kind that just slaps the butt and leaves.
As a partner of Erjing Film and Television, this behavior is extremely shameless. If Chen Muhua had the intention to pursue it, there would probably be 10,000 ways to make Erjing Film and Television peel off its skin.
So Liangliang came to apologize, which makes sense in every aspect.
"The old man has forgotten about this a long time ago." Chen Muhua shook his head and took a sip of porridge, and then said: "And if I guess correctly, the real boss of Erjing Film and Television should be your brother Jiangbei, right?"
Liangliang had a look of surprise on her face when she heard this: "So uncle, you know everything?"
Chen Muhua smiled and said nothing.
He is not stupid. Although the largest shareholder of the entire Erjing Group is from the Sandman Islands, based on the information he knows and has received, he can definitely deduce who the actual controller behind the Erjing Group is.
"Uncle, do you hate my brother?" Seeing that Chen Muhua was silent, Liangliang couldn't help but asked cautiously.
"Hmph!" When this matter was mentioned, Chen Muhua got angry and scolded with a cold snort: "Your brother is just a villain. In order to achieve his own goals, he will not hesitate to resort to any means, and he will even take advantage of an empty nester like me. It's simply
"Do you agree with what I said?" Seeing her nodding, Chen Muhua was very confused and asked with a frown.
He thought that his sister and brother were in the same group, but now it seems that there is something hidden in it.
"Of course, although Jiangbei is my brother, I stand on the side of justice and integrity in this matter. My brother does things unscrupulously and betrays his trust, so he should be duly condemned and punished." Liangliang waved.
He waved his hand and replied righteously.
"So actually this matter has nothing to do with you?" Chen Muhua asked.
Liangliang nodded sharply and replied: "Of course, I came to you according to my brother's plan, but he didn't give any new instructions after the matter was completed, so I couldn't help you suppress Sister Sui Xi.
You know, after all, I am just a puppet, and the real power lies with my brother."
The first step of Zhuge Liang's clever plan is to clear away his own suspicions, win favor and at the same time pass the blame to Jiangbei, and then proceed to the next step smoothly.
"Haha~~ I like how honest you are." Chen Muhua was amused after hearing this. He happily took a bite of the fried dough sticks and chewed them, and said vaguely: "Actually, there is no point in saying this. I will take your brother too.
no way."
This is said with a bit of sadness, because it is indeed true.
Not to mention that he has retired from his position now, even if he has not retired, as long as Erjing Film and Television does not do anything that violates the rules of the game, there is nothing he can do.
So the most that can be done is a humanitarian condemnation of Jiangbei, and nothing else can be done.
"Uncle, you have a great heart. Liangliang admires you so much." Liangliang piled on her kind words first, and then assured her with a serious face: "But I can't let my uncle suffer. My brother's new movie has been sent for review. It will be released soon.
It’s about to be released. If it’s successful at the box office after it’s released, I’ll go talk to my brother and ask him to fulfill his promise to you.”
The second step of Zhuge Liang's clever plan is to introduce the theme, and try to make Chen Muhua remember it, and slowly promote it to achieve the final goal.
Chen Muhua had already read about Jiangbei's filmmaking in the information. Originally, he had no idea about the matter, but just after chatting with Liangliang, a bad idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Has the movie been sent for review?"
"Yeah! Don't worry, uncle, the content of the movie is not a big problem. My brother has people in the bureau and it can be passed."
When Chen Muhua heard this, what was wrong with it? The film review actually wanted to go through the back door?
If you don't follow the normal flow and abide by the rules, what do you think of the official?
Suddenly, Chen Muhua's impression of Jiangbei dropped by another three points.
no.
We need to say hello and ask the members of the censorship committee to review every movie objectively and fairly, and not let some morons act arbitrarily.
Thinking of this, Chen Muhua stood up in a hurry: "Girl, I have something to do so I'll go back first. Let's stop talking about it today."
"Okay uncle, goodbye uncle." Liangliang stood up obediently and watched Chen Muhua leave.
It wasn't until his back disappeared around the corner that Zhuge Liang smiled proudly, took out his cell phone and called his brother: "Brother, everything is done."
...
China****.
The members of the censorship committee are reviewing movies on a daily basis. There are 36 members on the censorship committee. They are not all official personnel, but people from all walks of life.
For example, some are school professors, some are members of the Ministry of Culture, some are film directors, and some are religious administrators.
Today they gathered together to complete their daily review work.
Fortunately, the first movie to be reviewed today is "The Man from the Blue Star" directed by Jiang Bei.
Everyone is unfamiliar with Jiangbei, and there are very few people who know him. Of course, it is not impossible. For example, Ji Changkong, the director of Weilan Film and Television Academy, knows such a person.
The husband of his daughter’s student heard from his daughter that she also participated in this movie.
Moreover, the total investment for this movie was only 120,000 yuan, which is incredibly small.
But it is also easy to arouse Ji Changkong's curiosity. He also wants to see what kind of story this film with an investment of 120,000 yuan is about.
Soon, the film review process began.
The plot film "This Man Came from the Blue Star" was shown on the screen.
The 36 members of the review committee sat in their seats and watched the finished film carefully. The room was silent, and there was the occasional sound of writing as the members were taking notes.
Ninety-five minutes passed quickly.
A movie has been shown.
"Everyone, please share your views and opinions." Ji Changkong glanced at the members of the review committee and gestured.
"I don't have any objections," said a professor from Peking University.
"It's a very interesting movie and I have no objections." A senior director from the entertainment industry nodded in agreement.
But not everyone thought so. Some official members, such as the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Propaganda, frowned slightly and looked at one of the committee members.
"This movie must not be approved, otherwise it will easily cause religious disputes." Xiao Yang, director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Chinese State Administration of Religious Affairs, looked serious and added: "In the "Film Script (Summary) Filing, Film Management Regulations" Tenth
The sixth of the four articles stipulates: Any article that advocates religious extremism, provokes contradictions and conflicts between religions, sects, believers and non-believers, and hurts the feelings of the masses should be rejected, deleted, and revised, otherwise it will not be allowed.
pass."
As soon as Xiao Yang's words came out, most members nodded in agreement.
Even Ji Changkong nodded slightly to express his approval. In fact, he was aware of this problem when he reviewed the film just now. Not to mention that the male protagonist of the film is a caveman who has lived for 14,000 years. During this long period,
He has actually played the role of the founder of many religions in history.
Been to be Jesus, been a disciple of Buddha, etc...
Although the background of the story is overseas, religion is a very sensitive matter, and it will be difficult to deal with any international disputes if it arises.
"But I don't think this is advocating for religion or provoking conflicts between religions, right?" Some people agree, while others have opposing views, thinking that this problem is not a big one.
After all, we have arrived in 2022, and social development and openness have been strengthened to a certain extent. People can express many things in various forms, and they are no longer as strict as before.
"I still insist. The relevant paragraph must be deleted and revised." Xiao Yang is the person in charge of handling religious affairs, and his words will change the minds of other members to a large extent.
Therefore, Xiao Yang's persistence also made most members agree.
Whether a film can pass the review is determined by the number of committee members' opinions. The more representatives who raise opinions, the bigger the problem. If the committee members' opinions are few, it will be passed directly.
To put it bluntly, it is the ratio of approval and disapproval.
"Then let's vote." Seeing this, Ji Changkong decided to make the decision directly by voting.
The members have no meaning and are ready to start voting.
Just then, a staff member walked in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Changkong nodded and turned to look at the committee members.
The committee members happened to be looking at him too.
"Ahem~"
Ji Changkong coughed slightly and said, "The director just said that I hope everyone will treat this movie with an objective and fair attitude."
Objective and fair attitude?
The committee members looked at each other, and the atmosphere became quiet for a while.
"Uh... let's just keep voting."
"I think the movie is pretty good."
"I think so too. It's not easy to make such an interesting movie with a small budget. We should give it more support."
"The plot drives the plot. I think this gives us some inspiration as directors. Maybe it will be very marketable."
"In modern society, we must believe in science and not be superstitious about religion. I think the purpose of this movie is very good!"
Therefore, when the trend changed, the film quickly passed the review and completed the last step before release.
After the news came out, at the entrance of the Arcadia community, Ancheng's gambling king ran wildly outside with his bag on his back.
"Xiao Wang, open the door for me quickly."
"Liangliang, are you going back to school?"
"Why don't you go back to school? I'm going to the West."
