The old-fashioned green train was moving slowly, and the carriage was filled with various smells, including the cries of children, the chatter of adults, the elder sister opposite Wu Jianye who was feeding her child, and the woman sleeping under the car seat.
A big guy who picks his feet...
Such a scene made Wu Jianye, who was originally in a complicated mood, throw away his inexplicable emotions long ago. Now he has begun to regret coming back.
I received a notice from the school that I will go to the Yanjing Film Studio next week to audition for Zhao Shutun. It is not certain whether I will be selected, but the studio still hopes that Wu Jianye can follow as a screenwriter at a later time.
The crew of "The Peacock Princess" went to Yundian.
At the same time, what made Wu Jianye happy was that Yan Film Studio actually gave him the title of assistant director.
This kind of treatment is almost unheard of in China today. This is because the storyboards Wu Jianye prepared before played a key role.
Wu Jianye also received news that Yan Film Studio originally wanted Tang Guoqiang to play the role of Zhao Shutun. However, under the strong request of director Zhu Jinming, they finally decided to give Wu Jianye an audition opportunity.
As for whether the senior leaders of the college had contributed, Wu Jianye did not ask, nor did the senior leaders say anything. The senior leaders just encouraged Wu Jianye with a few words of encouragement...
The shooting period is about three to four months, plus the preliminary preparations, which means that Wu Jianye will definitely not be able to come back before the year, so he must return to his hometown and explain to his old mother.
In later generations, if you took the high-speed rail, you would get to Xingzhou in about two hours, but now, Wu Jian has to suffer on the train at night.
"Young man, where are you going?" Although there was a woman feeding her child opposite Wu Jianye, because this was a three-person seat, there were two people sitting there, one was an old man who was smoking a pipe, and the other was a young man.
It should be the woman's husband. As for the old man, he probably has nothing to do with them.
And the person sitting next to Wu Jianye was not a young and beautiful girl. When she was going to school and starting a business, Wu Jianye often took the train. At that time, she always hoped that the seat next to her would be some young and beautiful girl, but never once did she.
Succeeded.
Instead, they were two middle-aged men wearing hurdle vests of an indistinguishable color. They probably knew each other and were chatting about interesting things they had encountered in Yanjing.
"Go back to Xingzhou!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
The old man took a puff of his pipe, and a strong smell of low-quality tobacco came, and then there was the sound of the baby crying next to him. The old man smiled, went to the window, knocked the pipe, and said: "I'm used to it, I'm choking."
It’s a doll!”
"It's okay, it's okay. I guess the child is getting sleepy after eating enough!" The child's father didn't say anything.
If this were the case in future generations, even if no train conductor came to dissuade the old man, they would probably fight.
"Young man, you don't look like someone who works in a factory!" The old man continued chatting with Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled: "I'm still a student!"
The old man's expression immediately changed. "It turns out that he is a college student, and he will be eating royal food from now on!"
At this time, when some people around heard that Wu Jianye was a college student, they immediately looked at him with envy. This was not an era when college students were everywhere.
Wu Jianye's ability to become a college student means that he may enter a government agency in the future. In the eyes of most people, he will be a leader in the future.
So at this time, no matter whether they recognized him or not, they all greeted Wu Jianye one after another.
Wu Jianye did not show the slightest impatience and chatted with everyone with a smile.
"Young man, which university are you studying at, Yenching University or Shuimu University?" the old man continued to ask.
"The scores in these two universities were too high. I failed to pass the exam and now I am studying at Yanjing Film Academy!" Wu Jianye said.
The old man had obviously never heard of Yenching Film Academy. In his mind, there were only two universities in Yenching, Yenching University and Shuimu University.
"Yenjing Film Academy? What does it do? Is it the one that shows movies in our village?" the old man asked based on his own understanding.
The old man didn’t know about the Yanjing Film Academy, but the couple with their children across the street knew about it, especially the mother, who immediately said: “Old man, you don’t know, the Yanjing Film Academy is for cultivating film talents. You see it in the movies.
Those people are the ones they play!"
The old man nodded and said: "So that's it!" Then he whispered: "I thought the people in the movie were real, but it turns out that they are all fake just like the actors in the opera!"
Wu Jianye smiled and suddenly remembered that when he was watching TV when he was a child, he asked his grandfather whether the people on TV were really dead.
The mother ignored the old man, handed the child to her husband, straightened her clothes, and asked enthusiastically: "Little brother, have you met Tang Guoqiang?"
During this period, Tang Guoqiang was actually the top traffic niche in later generations. Although this metaphor is somewhat inappropriate for Tang Guoqiang, it is indeed the case. He was the first cream niche in China.
At the same time, today's cream niche is the same as the traffic niche of later generations. Unless you are a fan of the movie, outsiders really don't have a good impression of this title. Tang Guoqiang was once very troubled by this title.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "I don't know them. I'm still a student in school, so I don't know them!"
The woman clearly looked disappointed and said, "So I don't know him."
However, the woman soon recovered and kept asking Wu Jianye who he knew.
The time spent chatting with friends along the way went by quite quickly. When we stopped at the station, many were selling food at the station, and they almost pushed it to Wu Jianye's mouth through the window.
When it was past one o'clock in the afternoon, the train finally arrived in Xingzhou. Wu Jianye found a stall to eat something and went straight to the bus station.
After more than three hours of clanging noise in the car, I arrived at County D. I thought I would reach Wu Jianye’s home, but I was really overthinking it. Wu Jianye found another tractor in the countryside and sat on it.
It took more than an hour for the tractor to reach the countryside, which made Wu Jianye's butt hurt.
For the remaining ten miles, Wu Jianye had to rely on his legs. Walking on the dirt road with his bag in hand, Wu Jianye felt inexplicably panicked. It wasn't that he was timid about being close to home, but that this era was really unsafe.
.....
Fortunately, not long after leaving, Wu Jianye saw the eldest brother from the village driving a tractor back.
In the village where Wu Jianye lives, the surname Wu is considered a common surname. Half of the villagers have the surname Wu, and they are all related to each other.
"This is Er Fat, get on the tractor!" Brother Wu also saw Wu Jianye.
Erpang is Wu Jianye's nickname. It seems that he was a little chubby when he was born. At that time, the Wu family had a child named Dapang who was a few months older than Wu Jianye. His nickname was Erpang.
Finally no longer needing to walk, Wu Jianye jumped into the car neatly, "Brother, why did you go to the countryside?"
Wu Jianye's seniority in the Wu family is quite high. Even though Brother Wu is old enough to be his uncle, in terms of seniority, Wu Jianye still has to call him brother.
"Send something to the village. Why are you back at this time? It's out of season?" Uncle Wu grabbed the handle of the tractor with one hand and asked over his shoulder.
"There were some things at school that required me to travel for a while, so I asked for leave and came back to tell my mother!" Wu Jianye explained.
"Students still have to go on business?" Uncle Wu asked in confusion, but fortunately he didn't understand enough about universities, so he didn't ask further questions.
