A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 283 Busy Qiao Yingzi

Fang Yuan said goodbye to his neighbors and walked into the community. He parked his car early in the afternoon, took the ingredients he bought from the supermarket, and went home to cook for his wife.

Tong Wenjie had been in poor health to begin with. Before she became pregnant, she happened to be catching up with the company's financing. She stayed up late to work overtime every day and occasionally went out drinking. As a result, she is now showing signs of premature birth even though she is less than six months pregnant.

So after Tong Wenjie resigned, Fang Yuan was extremely cautious and did not let her do any housework, for fear that if she was not careful, some irreversible consequences would occur.

Open your home.

"Hey, Teacher Song is here. I just bought a fish. Please stay for dinner tonight and have a try of my cooking skills." Fang Yuan greeted Song Qian warmly when he saw her coming as a guest.

"No, no, I have fewer classes this afternoon, so I came to see Wen Jie. Yingzi will be back soon, and I have to go back and make dinner for her."

Song Qian replied with a smile. Ever since Qiao Yingzi finished the college entrance examination, she no longer had to worry about her child's grades. She had visibly looked several years younger.

"It's okay, let Yingzi come with you. I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Yes."

Tong Wenjie, who was sitting on the sofa, also said, "I heard Fanfan say that he hasn't seen Yingzi for several days. What has Yingzi been busy with recently?"

"Hey, she's like a wild kid, she can't stay idle at home. Recently, she's been with Jinnian's crew, doing publicity work, and preparing for the movie premiere."

In fact, the promotion of the film has already started. As the release date approaches, the crew's work becomes increasingly busy. However, Chen Jinnian, the film's director and main investor, has become a hands-off boss, eating and drinking with Wang Yidi in Shenzhen, looking very carefree.

Fortunately, the promotion and marketing of the film was handled by a professional team, and did not rely entirely on the director and the creative team. Otherwise, Chen Jinnian would have become a second-generation Adou.

A vivid interpretation of what it means to "enjoy the joy of this place and not miss the capital."

"Jinnian's movie is going to have its premiere. Where is it?"

After Fang Yuan threw the fish into the pool, he came out of the kitchen and asked curiously,

"It's at Chunfeng Middle School. Don't you two know yet?" Song Qian glanced back and forth between Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie with a look of disbelief on her face.

"I do not know."

Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie looked at each other. Ever since the parents' group was disbanded, they had never paid attention to the school's news, and Fang Yifan and Lin Lei'er had never mentioned it either.

"Oh, now I remember. Yesterday, when I was driving past Chunfeng Middle School, I saw someone holding a banner at the school gate. At the time, I thought it was to welcome the freshmen, but I didn't expect it was because of Jinnian's movie."

Fang Yuan suddenly realized that he was only concerned with showing off his own son Lin Lei'er to the passengers, bragging that his child went to school here, was so good at studying, and was even the district's top scorer in science this year.

If he had just glanced at the content on the banner, he would have known everything.

"Yes, the school takes it very seriously. I know of more than 20 high school graduates who went to help."

"So many people!" Tong Wenjie said in surprise, "Are they all here to help for free?"

"It's not free. The crew pays me a salary of 150 yuan a day, and also gives me tickets to the front row on the premiere day. The ticket in my hand was given to me by Yingzi." Song Qian said.

"Is Old Joe going too?"

"What is he going for? We only gave us two tickets, enough for Yingzi and me. There's no extra for him." Song Qian rolled her eyes when she mentioned Qiao Weidong.

She discovered that when her daughter was in her third year of high school and her studies were the most intense, Qiao Weidong wanted to come every day. Now that Qiao Yingzi has graduated from high school and has plenty of free time, Qiao Weidong doesn't come again.

"Hey, considering the relationship between Yingzi and Jinnian, it shouldn't be difficult to get a ticket." Fang Yuan smiled meaningfully after he finished speaking. He thought Song Qian simply hated Qiao Weidong, so she said that.

Unexpectedly, Song Qian shook her head.

"Jinnian probably doesn't have many tickets, because Yingzi told me that there are too many people to accommodate, resulting in not enough seats right now."

"Huh? How is that possible? Isn't it just about finding some celebrities from the film and television industry, organizing some film critics and fans to watch a movie, and then issuing press releases to promote it?"

There are quite a lot of movie premieres in Beijing. Fang Yuan used to have a girl who was a fan of idols. She skipped work to attend her idol’s movie premiere. He helped cover it up for her, so when the girl came back, she told them a lot of things that happened at the scene.

"It's different. This time it's held at school, and a lot of students want to come. Also, do you remember Principal Tang? I heard he attached great importance to this premiere and invited many friends and leaders from other schools. There must be 20 to 30 principals alone."

"Oh my god, is this a premiere or a principal's meeting?"

Fang Yuan was stunned. Just thinking about watching a movie with a row of principals sitting below him made his scalp tingle.

While they were chatting, the door was opened again, and Lin Lei'er and Fang Yifan walked in chatting. Ever since they applied for the college entrance examination, they have been busy making money.

Lin Lei'er focused on tutoring. With the title of the district's top scorer in science, his tuition fees not only skyrocketed, but also were in short supply. Many parents lined up with money to wait for his lessons, and he earned 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in just one month.

Naturally, no one dared to hire Fang Yifan as a tutor. He was now working as an assistant teacher in a dance training class, teaching three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, without evening classes. He earned two hundred yuan a day, which was not a small amount, basically the median salary in Beijing.

His current job will be over in two weeks at most. By late August, the dance students will have to go back to school. Of course, it will not be long before he starts school again.

Fang Yifan saw Song Qian as soon as he walked in. He stretched his neck happily to look around, but he did not find the person he was expecting.

"Oh, Aunt Song, you're here. Where's Yingzi? Why didn't I see her?"

"She's still in school."

"Aren't you busy with the preparations for the premiere yet? It feels like it's been seven or eight days." Fang Yifan said casually. After changing his shoes, he went to the refrigerator to find a cold drink.

Yingzi has been so busy lately that he hasn't seen anyone. When he asks her out in the evening, she always says she's tired and doesn't want to go out to play, which makes him feel a little anxious.

Hearing her son's words, Tong Wenjie asked in confusion, "Do you know Yingzi is busy with the movie premiere?"

"I know."

"Then why don't you say it?"

"You didn't even ask."

Fang Yifan answered innocently, threw a bottle of Coke to Lin Lei'er, then opened the bottle in his own hand and drank half of it in one breath before feeling refreshed from the inside out.

"So you two have tickets for the backstage?" Fang Yuan asked quickly. To be honest, he really wanted to go and see it because this was the first movie he had filmed on location.

The two brothers shook their heads at the same time.

"Uncle-in-law, the tickets for the main show are sold out a long time ago. Many people in our class didn't get one, but we have already booked tickets for the midnight show at the cinema through the ticket booking software." Lin Lei'er said slowly.

"Lei'er, please book it for the two of us as well." Tong Wenjie added.
