Wang Quan felt that he was not considered a second-generation rich man. He could not bear to stay in such a good hotel alone. More than 3,000 yuan a night was too much.

Filming in the United States almost emptied his pocket, so he might as well go home and live. When can he find a taker for his film, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

This time he took the subway, got off at Hufang Bridge, and walked to Lazhu Hutong with his suitcase.

As soon as I turned a corner, I met an acquaintance, "Hey, Uncle Yang."

"Wang Quan, are you back from the United States?"

My former neighbor, Uncle Yang, was wearing a police uniform and riding an electric bike by. His hairline had receded quite a bit, which made people worry about his daughter's future.

One parked the car, the other stopped, and the two started chatting. Uncle Yang's family had moved from Lizhu Hutong to the residential area assigned by the work unit, but they didn't live far away. They had been neighbors in the hutong for more than ten years. They still had a close relationship and often walked around.

.

From his mouth, Wang Quan learned that his father, Wang Qiankun, had returned to his hometown in Ji Province two days ago, but he had the key, so as long as he didn't move, it would be fine.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Yang didn't mention his daughter. It seemed that he was still guarding himself. Isn't it just that he usually walked closer to her? He regarded her as his biological sister. I didn't even call her in the hotel.

Phone number? This shows the innocence of the relationship.

Smiling and waving goodbye to Uncle Yang, Wang Quan took a few more steps and pressed the code to open the door of his courtyard. Unlike the large courtyard where Uncle Yang and the others lived in the past, this was an independent courtyard.

His father, Wang Qiankun, had a courtyard house within the second ring road of the capital, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters, but Wang Quan did not consider it a wealthy second generation.

In addition, Wang Qiankun also has several shop fronts that are rented out, and he can earn 30,000 to 400,000 yuan a month, but can he be considered a rich second generation?

In addition, Wang Qiankun also runs a movie theater in Dashilan, but the movie market is sluggish, so he doesn't seem to be considered a rich second generation.

So Wang Quan is just an ordinary sunny and cheerful boy in the capital.

After entering the courtyard, he first went to the toilet. There was nothing good about this courtyard. It wasn't until he was in high school that a toilet was installed at home. Before, he had to go to the public toilet outside.

After walking around, the inside and outside of the house were almost the same as when I left a year ago. There was not much tidying up. It seemed that there was no new hostess here.

Then he called the former hostess of the courtyard, Ms. Mei Yanqiu, "Hey, Mom, I'm back in China... I'm at my dad's place. I won't go to your place today. I'm jet-lagged. Let's talk tomorrow.

."

After thinking about it, I politely informed my dad that he was busy playing mahjong over there and didn’t have much conversation.

The first time his parents divorced, he was sentenced to his mother. The second time they divorced, he chose his father. By the third time, he was numb and grown up. He refused to follow anyone, so his parents paid for him.

He has a small second apartment, so he is the head of his own household.

However, every Spring Festival, he alternately spends the New Year with his parents. Last year, he accompanied Lao Wang back to his hometown to spend the New Year. This year, it is his turn to spend the New Year with his mother in the capital.

Starting from noon, I don’t know how long I slept. I only remember that in my dream, he stood on the Oscar podium and proudly announced in Chinese, "The era of my kingship has arrived. I also want to announce that I will return to China soon to film my first movie.

Chinese movies..."

Then Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio cried and begged him not to leave. Charlize Theron even blocked his mouth with her lips and asked him to take back what he just said.

Don't say that again.

Hehe~

Sure enough, there is everything in dreams, especially daydreams.

In his daze, someone shook him awake, and Wang Quan saw a capable and elegant middle-aged woman.

"Mom, why are you here?" Wang Quan wiped the corner of his mouth, but luckily he didn't drool.

Mei Yanqiu pointed to the table, "I've brought you dinner. Don't go to bed. I won't be able to sleep if I sleep again. How can I get jet lag?"

After calming down on the bed for a minute, Wang Quan said, "Mom, please stay out of the way while I put on my clothes."

Mei Yanqiu smiled and said, "My son has grown up, okay, okay."

When she came in again, Wang Quan had already put on his clothes and opened the insulated lunch box.

The aroma of food fills the room, which contains his favorite home-cooked meals, including foie gras balls with oatmeal, shrimp paste, poached tenderloin, cherry meat, shark fin rice, and a bowl of abalone and oxtail soup.

Three dishes, one soup and one staple food will be enough for him to finish.

It doesn't sound like my mother's taste, but it's true, it's all my uncle's taste.

The ancestors of the Mei family had imperial chefs, and they have been cooks for several generations. Her mother and second uncle inherited her grandfather's legacy and opened a high-end private restaurant in the capital. The second uncle is the chef, and her mother is the manager. The brothers and sisters work together to make it bigger and stronger.

This kind of classic and authentic Chinese food is not easy to find in Los Angeles. Faced with American-style Chinese food, Wang Quan would rather eat Western food.

Mei Yanqiu sat aside and watched her son eat. She felt happy when she saw that he was eating well.

"Mom, are you okay tonight? I'll treat you to a movie." Wang Quan suggested while drinking soup. He thought of the "Fearless" poster he saw on the way back.

Considering its final box office of US$100 million in the Mainland and US$68 million globally, as well as a rating of 7 on Douban and nearly 8 on IMDb, it should be a masterpiece worth watching.

However, Mei Yanqiu looked at his watch with a troubled expression, and Wang Quan knew that he was asking unnecessary questions.

Mei Yanqiu had no choice, "The new year is approaching, and there are a few tables of particularly important guests tonight, and I'm afraid the head waiter won't resist."

"Understand, understand."

Wang Quan packed his lunch box silently, because he lived in a single family most of the time. Wang Quan has been very independent since he was a child. Not to mention watching movies alone, it is common for him to go to the hospital for infusion alone.

"Son, I know you want to make movies in the future. Take these, you might need them in the future." When he was about to leave, Mei Yanqiu took out a stack of cards, thinking they were bank cards from home, but when he saw it

……

"This is... a business card?"

"These have all eaten in our restaurant, and they are all from the film and television industry. You see, these are the bosses of film and television companies, these are directors, and actors..."

Wang Quan was shocked. Several of them are now influential figures in the film and television industry, including Wang Zhonglei, the Huayi brothers who are currently in the limelight, Jiang Zhiqiang, who single-handedly created "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Xingmei Pictures CEO Tan (

Qin) Hong and others, my mother introduced and supplemented one by one, obviously she had done her homework.

Looking at his mother's serious face, Wang Quan knew that although this mother had always focused on her career and lacked care for herself, she had also been implicitly expressing her love and concern for her son in her own way.

"Mom, thank you!" Wang Quan moved his arms around his mother's neck, but soon found that his mother had withdrawn one of the business cards.

After being discovered by her son, Mei Yanqiu said confidently, "Chen Daoming is my idol. You probably don't need an actor of this level. I'd better keep this one for myself."

King Quan: "..."

After sending his mother away, Wang Quan was walking in the yard to eat.

In fact, he wants to watch "Fearless" without going to the cinema, because he has it in his mind.

Yes, he did.

Last year, the plane flying to Los Angeles encountered strong convective weather and experienced severe turbulence. Wang Quan suddenly jerked over. When he woke up, he had an extra film and television library in his mind, including film and television dramas and variety show MVs from the birth of the movie until 2025.

Video content can be seen here.

Not only can you watch movies, but you can also view the ratings, reviews, box office, and rankings of these works on major platforms at home and abroad, as well as some introductions and information about the film's front and backstage and related actors.

Movie resources in the past are nothing, and can basically be found in school libraries. The key is that there are still film and television contents from the next 20 years. They have not yet been born, which is a huge wealth!

It was precisely with this plug-in, coupled with his diligent study at the University of Southern California and his efforts to absorb professional knowledge, that he directed his first feature film in less than a year after studying abroad, and won the

Exhibited at Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Film Festival ends in three days. This film was well received when it was screened, and a film called "Little Miss Sunshine" sold over $10 million during the same period, which gave the partners even more confidence.<

/p>

After all, the cost is only 2 million U.S. dollars. It is not difficult to recover the cost. It just depends on how much they can earn. They are still a little ambitious.

After walking for a few steps, Wang Quan put on his coat and decided to go to the cinema to watch the movie. Although the film and television library in his mind could also achieve cinema-level audio-visual enjoyment, there was one thing it did not have, and that was the surrounding audience.

The atmosphere of watching a movie is also very important. Everyone is nervous and laughing together, the smell of popcorn in the air, the palms inserted into the girlfriend's skirt in the corner, and the rapid breathing of the two are all important parts of the fun of watching the movie.

, especially for commercial films.

As soon as he left, Wang Quan set off alone. Not long after he left, a girl with only one pair of eyes knocked on his door~
