Chapter 145: Meet the Father-in-law

The bar street is very lively, with people coming and going, and all kinds of messy sounds are coming from the street. Although the midsummer in the capital is not as good as in Hunan Province, it is still very hot. Not far away, sweat is seen on Wang Dalun's forehead.

Zhou Xun was wearing a big red silk short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt underneath. Although her exposed legs were not long, they were very symmetrical. She was wearing a pair of high-heeled sandals. The small bag in her hand was shaking back and forth with her steps. She didn't speak and just wandered around aimlessly.

After walking for a while, Wang Dalun couldn't help but point to a restaurant next to him that ran a midnight snack and said, "Is it hot? Why don't you go in and sit there? Just drink and eat something?"

"Okay!" Zhou Xun turned around and Zhan Yan smiled.

In fact, she is not as good as Fan Ziyi in terms of size or appearance. Fan Ziyi's face is delicate, but she is smart. Although she is the same age as her, her eyes are still as clear and clear as a girl, as bright as stars. When she smiles, her eyes are like crescents, as if the charm also overflows.

When he walked into the restaurant, a coolness came to his face, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief. He found a table beside the window and sat down, and she picked up the menu to order.

"Is the fish fresh?...Oh, let's boil the fish."

“Dry pot bullfrog.”

She ordered two dishes and asked Wang Dalun who was rinsing cups and bowls with tea, saying, "Hey, what do you want to eat?"

Wang Dalun heard that she ordered spicy dishes, which was a bit unbearable on this hot day. He didn't look at the menu and asked the waiter directly: "Do you have any minced meat vermicelli? If so, just give one, and add a cold cucumber."

"Four bottles of beer are going to be iced." She added.

Wang Dalun was not actually hungry. He just wanted to find a place to sit. The ready-made cold cucumber and beer were quickly served on the table, and a small plate of vinegar peanuts were also provided. He poured wine and raised his glass.

But she rushed to say, "Come on, touch one."

After a gentle touch, he raised his head and drank it all. After drinking the cold beer, he suddenly felt the coolness from inside to outside, from head to toe! But she took a few sips before drinking all the wine in the cup. She put the cup down and couldn't help but burp.

Wang Dalun filled her cup again and said with a smile: "Drink slowly."

She picked up a cucumber and put it in her mouth to press the wine, and asked, "Is the news online true?"

Wang Dalun paused for a moment when he picked up peanuts. He realized what she was asking and nodded, "Well, it's true. I just came back from Hunan Province this morning."

He picked up the peanuts soaked in vinegar and asked, "When did you come back? Has the show been completed?"

"Well, I've been back for a few days. After my scenes are finished, there are not many scenes left. I guess it's almost done now."

"How is it, is Britain fun?" he asked again.

Almost half of the plays in "April Day" were filmed in Wuzhen, England and Zhejiang Province.

"The weather is not good there, it always rains. The filming time is very tight, so I don't even have time to play."

As the dishes were served, the two of them gradually became more and more talked.

"...ah! You even asked it to undergo birth control surgery, so it would be so pitiful!"

When she heard Wang Dalun talk about the birth control surgery on Rose, she opened her eyes wide, looking incredible, and at the same time full of pity.

When she learned that Rose's real owner was Fan Ziyi, she was both envious and regretful: "Actually, I also like puppies very much. I have always wanted to raise one, but I spent most of the year filming in other places, and I don't have the conditions to raise it."

"Then, then you go to Hunan Province to visit the set, what should Rose do?" Every time she was excited, she always stuttered.

"Founder at a friend's house."

"If you have any trouble in the future, I'll be fine, then you put it here with me?"

"OK!"

...

They talked about Rose for a while, and then talked about their own gossip when they were filming. After drinking all the wine, most of the dishes on the plate were left.

"goodbye!"

Wang Dalun helped her stop a taxi, and before getting on the bus, she waved goodbye to him.

"Yeah, goodbye."

This place is not far from the community, and he planned to walk back, but refused her offer to let the taxi go around and see him off. He also waved his hand and stood there watching the taxi's taillight disappear into the vast traffic.

...

"No, my brother really won't do this time. I still have to film a movie!"

In the teahouse opposite the Film Academy, Wang Dalun shook his head like a rattle when he asked Zhang Yuan.

The post-production period of "Going Home for the New Year" was relatively long and did not meet the Cannes Film Festival. Fortunately, Marco Muller, one of the producers, is not only the chairman of the Locarno International Film Festival, but also the Asian film selector of the Venice Film Festival. He reported "Going Home for the New Year" early in the morning. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be selected into the main competition unit.

Although Zhang Yuan said it very well, I have never been to Venice, the Venice Film Festival is one of the three major European film festivals. You only go to Cannes and Berlin. This time I went together. It would be a great idea to have participated in one of the Chinese films. All three of them participated, how many can I have a wrench finger?

But Wang Dalun could even guess that Zhang Yuan invited him to the toe, except for guest appearances as a translator and helping to sell films. If it was okay, it would be nice to go abroad with him to open his horizons. But now Gao Xiaosong has already decided to start the filming in August. The Venice Film Festival will open on September 1st, which will last for eleven days. It will definitely take two days in advance when you go back and forth on the road, and at least half a month off. The shooting cycle is only three months in total, and the male protagonist will have to take half a month off. Not to mention that Gao Xiaosong will definitely not agree, even if he agrees, he will not go. If he drags on here, it will affect the startup time of Lao Jia's "Standup" later.

He explained the actual situation to Zhang Yuan, and finally said with a bitter face: "Brother, it's not that I'm not willing to help, I really can't get any time. Besides, Lao Mu is a local snake there. If you ask him to arrange one, just let him arrange one. Just that, his secretary, I think he's very good at Chinese, and it's absolutely reliable to be a translation. And you just said that this movie is very likely to be a nominated for the main competition unit. If you bring those two girls with you, if you can be a winner in the movie, even if you can't get a review, it's a vase when selling the movie!"

"Don't be nonsense, boy! Let me tell you, I'm giving you the opportunity, don't regret not participating in the future?" Zhang Yuan said with his round eyes.

In fact, although the drama "Going Home for the New Year" has a great chance to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, the script has been repeatedly revised and revised before filming. When filming is limited to the future, it will be submitted for review. Zhang Yuan did not dare to boldly play some ideas. If it were other Matabrata International Film Festival similar to Argentina, he might still hope to win an award or something, but this is the Venice Film Festival and one of the three major European film festivals. Almost all of the exhibitors are the best movies in the world, including a large number of Hollywood movies.

So Zhang Yuan had no expectations for winning the award. The biggest help for being shortlisted may be to make the movie a good selling point. As for the movie's best reviews, he didn't have to think about it. Just because of those two young girls, how could they compare to those famous international movie stars, even if they were famous movie stars, it seemed that they were not qualified to be a vase. Besides, bringing one more person is the cost of one person. For more than ten days, the cost would be at least 70,000 to 80,000. Some time ago, he was busy filming documentaries that were sure to lose money. He was very tight at the beginning, so he didn't have time to bring them with him.

Without any speculation, Zhang Yuan patted his butt and left, and even agreed to treat him to dinner before. Wang Dalun had to go to the vegetable market for a while and bought some food and went home.

When he returned to the community, he had just parked his car in the parking space when he saw a black Audi stopping at the door of his unit. His heart suddenly moved. The girl said that her father was coming to ask for justice. He has been staying at home honestly these days, waiting for his father-in-law to come to the door, but he never saw anyone. Except for today, he received a call from Zhang Yuan and went to the teahouse to sit for a while.

Isn't this black Audi just Lao Fan? Last time it was Santana, and this time it was a new level and replaced by Audi. That's right, the girl said that her father was promoted last year.

Just as he was sitting in the car thinking, a middle-aged man with a majestic weapon came out of the door of the car. After a closer look, he found that he was the old fan he had met last year.

I saw Lao Fan and the driver standing by the car give a few instructions, then look around, as if they are dissatisfied with the surrounding environment of this old community. The frowning of his brow made Wang Dalun, who was hiding in Little Xiali, feel a sense of familiarity. No, it is almost exactly the same as the girl frownings at any time.

Then Lao Fan stepped upstairs. Although Wang Dalun said one by one in front of the girl before, he really wanted to meet Lao Fan in his heart. Everyone exchanged their opinions frankly, strived to convince Lao Fan and agreed to date the girl. But Lao Fan really appeared in front of him, especially when he saw Lao Fan's official aura coming, he was inevitably a little timid.

"No matter whether it is a blessing or not, it is a disaster or not!" Wang Dalun sat in the car and secretly warned himself, took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to get off the car with the purchased vegetables.

When he walked to the door of the unit, the driver who was about to get on the bus looked at him curiously, as if the red Charlie car in front had been parked for a while, why had the man gotten out of the car just now?

Wang Dalun didn't even look at him, and went straight upstairs. After walking past the second floor, he walked out of the driver's vision, and quickly ran upstairs in three steps and two steps. When he arrived at the fourth and a half floor, he saw that there was no one at the door of the girl on the fifth floor, and there was a knock on the door. Sure enough, Lao Fan was coming for him. He gritted his teeth, ran two steps, and rushed to the fifth and a half floors. As soon as he looked up, he saw Lao Fan standing at the door of his house with a serious face and knocking on the door.

At this time, Lao Fan also saw him coming upstairs, stopped knocking on the door, and stood sideways on the high ground and looked down at him without saying a word. If it weren't for seeing his photo with his daughter on the Internet, Lao Fan would have forgotten the young man who had met at the door of his daughter's room last year.

Lao Fan looked carefully and felt that although this refreshing young man was not handsome, he seemed to be a little more pleasing than in the photo. His eyes swept over the dishes that Wang Dalun was carrying. Well, he knew that he was cooking, at least he was a bit hardworking and frugal.

Wang Dalun was not used to looking up at Lao Fan like this, and suddenly realized that today's meeting with Lao Fan was actually a negotiation in a sense. Since it was a negotiation, the two must be equal. He hurriedly walked up the stairs, stood in front of Lao Fan, bent down slightly and said, "Hello, Uncle Fan!"

Lao Fan was not surprised. Although Wang Dalun gave him a good impression just now, when he thought that his daughter was in love with many older people, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, she frowned, and said arrogantly: "Are you Wang Dalun?"

"Yes, Uncle Fan. Ziyi has told me what you are coming." Wang Dalun tried his best to keep himself calm and humble. In fact, he was very nervous. Although he lived for two lifetimes, this was the first time he had met his father-in-law.

Seeing that he was very calm, he did not show any nervousness or guilty expression, a strange look flashed in his eyes. After years of ups and downs in officialdom, Lao Fan has seen countless people, but even if he is as calm as him, even if he is on young cadres, this calmness alone can win the praise of his leaders.

Old Fan didn't say anything. After a few seconds of looking at each other, Wang Dalun realized how he could stand face to face at the door. He quickly took out the key and opened the door: "Uncle Fan, go in and sit down."

Lao Fan nodded. As soon as he raised his legs into the house, he saw a big black and white spotted dog jumping out of it. He was shocked. Fortunately, his years of cultivation skills in becoming an official made him not scream on the spot, but he took a step back and almost hit Wang Dalun behind him.

Rose, who was locked up at home, thought that the owner had come back, so she rushed out to greet her. Unexpectedly, when she walked in, she was a stranger, and she was shocked. She stood at the door without moving, and each person and a dog suddenly became a stalemate.

Seeing this, Wang Dalun hurriedly squeezed into the house from Lao Fan and scolded Rose: "Rose, go back."

Rose, who had undergone birth control surgery, was more obedient than before. When she heard her master's scolding, she looked at her master resentfully, and returned to the doghouse under the dining table and lay down obediently. She looked at Lao Fan, looking at him, very innocent.

"Sorry, Uncle Fan. This is a dog raised by Ziyi. She went out to film, so she put the dog here." Wang Dalun knew that Lao Fan Gang was very scared. He was actually a little gloating in his heart. He quickly explained, saying that this dog was raised by your daughter, so he would not blame him for this.

"How come this girl raises such a big dog!" Lao Fan was really scared. He was indeed a little annoyed, but when he heard the dog raised by his daughter, he had to say something angrily.

"Uncle Fan, please sit down." Wang Dalun opened the chair next to the dining table and said enthusiastically, while going to the kitchen to put down the vegetables he bought and arranged to make tea for Lao Fan.

Rose was lying under the dining table. Lao Fan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Instead, she stood in the living room with her hands behind her back and looked at it. It was only seven or eight square meters, but it was clean.

To the north of the living room is the kitchen and bathroom, and to the south is the room. This is a very typical one-bedroom and one-living house. Lao Fan looked around and finally turned his attention to the door of the room on the south side. He wanted to go over and take a look, but because of his identity, he hesitated for a moment, and Lao Fan stopped the steps he had just wanted to take.
