A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 427 Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains

Chen Jinnian strolled in the corridor with a camera in his hand. He thought that those so-called relatives would not be able to sit still and would definitely come out. Then he could record their embarrassing looks.

Just as I thought of this, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Fang Siya walked out wearing a new Chinese style red long dress.

She turned her head away angrily, then changed her expression to one of surprise, "Jinnian, how come you have time to come here?"

Fang Shiya, An Ran and Chen Jinnian are all old acquaintances. When they met at the karting track, Chen Jinnian was just an unknown new director.

"Of course I came. I was the one who introduced you and Lao Pan." After greeting the two of them, Chen Jinnian hurried to pick up the machine.

"Let's go quickly, everyone is waiting on the first floor."

"Didn't you leave?" An Ran asked doubtfully.

"They are all fake. Can we go back if we can't pick up the bride?" Chen Jinnian waved his hand to signal everyone to hurry up, otherwise there would be trouble if the relatives inside came out.

"We can't get in, so this is the only option left. But don't worry, Sister Shiya, the fleet has been arranged and we'll be able to set off as soon as we get downstairs."

Fang Shiya trotted to catch up, and after entering the elevator, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Now she hated the relatives in the room, including her parents. Not only did they not consider her, but they also became accomplices of those people.

Fang Shiya's family is from another place. In order to make the wedding lively, Pan Shuai chartered a car to invite them and booked rooms in a nearby hotel. He did not ask them for a penny throughout the whole process.

But she didn't expect that he would turn a kindness into a grudge. His kindness was in vain. Not only was he not satisfied, but he even wanted to ruin her wedding.

"Hey, it's the same for everyone. After knowing that my movie was a big hit, a bunch of relatives I didn't know shamelessly asked me for money to buy cars and houses. Some even wanted me to arrange jobs for them at CCTV. They're really greedy. What does CCTV have to do with me? I'm not the director."

Chen Jinnian complained casually and closed the elevator door.

Fang Shiya didn't expect that Chen Jinnian had more troubles than her, so she asked curiously, "Did you give it to them?"

"I'll give them a hammer."

Han Yifei's resentful words made everyone laugh.

In his heart, only his direct blood relatives whom he met frequently were his relatives, and the rest were strictly speaking strangers.

First-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have created a large number of nouveau riche in just twenty years due to the rapid development of land finance.

These nouveau riche were engaged in daily feuds over compensation for demolition, which made the legal business of property distribution booming and became a daily routine for the courts.

After years of tossing and turning, the final result is that there are no relatives in the first-tier cities, only enemies. After the lawsuit, they will never see each other again, life or death. In this case, if the relatives who have no contact come back, there is no other explanation except to make another fortune.

"We're here!" Chen Jinnian said, looking at the numbers on the display screen.

"Should we go directly, or pick up those relatives and go together?" He raised his finger and pointed upwards.

"No, I don't believe that without them, the wedding today wouldn't be possible." Fang Shiya said domineeringly, then she lifted her long skirt slightly with both hands and strode out of the elevator with her head held high.

Pan Shuai, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately handed over the bouquet, but Fang Shiya didn't refuse. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and demanded, "I stopped you with just one break. I don't believe I can't pry it open."

Pan Shuai was speechless when asked, "Isn't that the door of your cousin's house?"

"Humph," Fang Shiya sneered, "You've sold me like pork, and you still call me your cousin. Don't bring me along when you recognize this relative."

After she finished speaking, she led the three bridesmaids to move forward.

Chen Jinnian coughed to remind him, and when Pan Shuai didn't respond, he raised his foot and kicked him, "What are you still standing there for? Go open the car door. You can't let Jiang Lin open it for you."

Pan Shuai finally woke up from his dream and hurriedly chased after him.

After finally arriving at the hotel after all the hassle, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to Pan Shuai's relatives and friends, there were also many old acquaintances of Chunfeng in the banquet hall, including teachers and classmates. Because Pan Shuai had only taught Chen Jinnian's class in the school, and as the first disciple, many classmates came to join in the fun.

Everyone was not in the same class, so they basically sat around the head teacher. However, this did not pose a problem for Chen Jinnian. As a prominent figure in the school, there were very few people he could not talk to, including Principal Tang's table. He could walk over and greet them with a smile.

"Hey, if you don't take care of your Jinnian, people who don't know him would think he is the protagonist today." Qiao Yingzi touched Wang Yidi's shoulder.

"Let him have some fun. He's been getting depressed from filming lately."

There are many crew members in "Little Broken Ball", but the problem lies there. As long as there is a problem in one link, the filming will be invalid.

Guo Xun was an extremely cautious person, so shooting ten or twenty takes for a scene was his normal routine. This was totally incompatible with Chen Jinnian's acting habits, and he even had a mental breakdown at one point.

From Chen Jinnian's perspective, Guo Xing is quite capable, as he was able to turn something as interesting as filming and performing into a boring assembly line.

This is also the point of disagreement between Chen Jinnian and Guo Xing.

A person who believes that good movies come from strong passion, a state that cannot be replicated.

A good movie is made through meticulous polishing, and the performance is meticulous.

The difference in creative concepts always led to problems during the running-in process, and the scale of such a large production involved too many things, so Chen Jinnian had to suppress his own state to cooperate with the needs of the crew.

"Isn't he the male lead? Isn't he the most senior one in the crew?" Qiao Yingzi asked doubtfully.

"That was in other crews. In Little Broken Ball, he was not even worth an artificial snowfall." Wang Yidi explained that the actors in the crew got paid less than those behind the scenes.

For example, the female lead Zhao Jinmai only received a salary of 50,000 yuan during the filming period in March, which is the same as the special actors in the general crew.

"Oh my god, such a big crew has no money." Qiao Yingzi really didn't expect this.

"Yeah, we paid for the rent of a house nearby ourselves."

Wang Yidi was chatting with Qiao Yingzi when a voice interrupted, "Didi, where is your homeroom teacher? I don't see him."

The two looked back and found that it was Liu Jing, whom they had not seen for a long time.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Wang Yidi stood up in surprise. Qiao Yingzi also looked happy and hugged Liu Jing warmly.

"I just happened to have some time, so I came over to take a look." Liu Jing said gently. She had many reasons for coming here, but it was not convenient for the children to know.

Wang Yidi turned to look at the empty seat next to Lu Xiangmeng. "It was there just now. Why don't you ask Jinnian? He's been chatting the whole time, so he should know."
