Chapter 0015.
Although Guan ZhiLin wished that Yin Jun could spend more time with her, it was not good for Yin Jun to stay at her place for long, especially with Zhang BingQian watching over her.
After promising to bring Miss Guan to his place as a guest next time, Yin Jun went home in the afternoon.
He pondered that in the next two days, he would have to step up his efforts to write a good script for Guan Shirt that best suited him, which he would have to start working hard overtime this evening.
Back inside the rental house, Yin Jun opened the door only to see that the small hall that served as the kitchen was so lively.
A twelve or thirteen year old girl was sitting on the table, taking a big bite of the pastries brought back from the Hing Kee Tea Restaurant, and next to her, Wei Xiaofan and a twenty-something year old young man were talking about something with their eyebrows raised.
Even Auntie Zhang, who usually doesn't come back until late at night, was smilingly chopping vegetables beside her, and there were already several prepared dishes on the stovetop, so it seems that tonight is the rhythm of a big meal.
"Jun, back?" Seeing Yin Jun enter the door, Auntie Zhang smiled and said to him, then turned her head over to the little girl and said, "Ah Yu, quickly call Brother Jun!"
"Brother Jun."
The little girl didn't even raise her head, her voice was like a mosquito, but the speed of her eating didn't decrease at all, and in the blink of an eye, another durian pastry went down.
Auntie Zhang felt a little embarrassed, but Yin Jun shook his hand with a smile and greeted Wei Xiaofan, "Brother Wei, when you said there was something good going on, is that an extra meal tonight?"
"Of course!" Wei Xiaofan smiled, "My senior brother hemorrhaged money and bought bird's nest abalone back, so we're also living the life of the upper class!"
Saying that, he pointed at the young man beside him, "Dong Wei, my senior brother, who works as a movie martial arts director in Treasure Island! ...... Ah Wei, this is Yin Jun, also from our mainland, a good boy!"
"Brother Wei, hello." Yin Jun extended his hand and said.
"Hey, Ah Jun, how are you!" Dong Wei was also a bright person, after shaking his calloused hand with Yin Jun, he said, "Don't listen to Shifu bragging for me, it's cheaper to buy bird's nests on Treasure Island, and this abalone is even cheaper when it's soaked and sprouted. I'm just an odd-job man, no, recently there's nothing to do on Treasure Island, so I have to go back to Xiangjiang to beg for a meal again."
"Hehe, if we're talking about making movies, Xiangjiang definitely has a future than Treasure Island, it's right for you to come back, Brother Wei." Yin Jun said with understanding.
"Huh? You still know about movies?" Dong Wei said in surprise.
"I know a little." Yin Jun smiled.
Dong Wei had no intention of pursuing the matter and smiled at his words, so he chatted about the topic of Bao Island in passing.
"Treasure Island's movies are really meaningless, they're not as good as their dramas." Dong Wei said, "I went over there 4 or 5 years ago, and I've been living in Taibei for a long time for 2 years, but most of what I encountered were literary dramas. Literary theater is just literary theater, right? The point is that it's inexplicable when you shoot it out and no one can understand it. Of course, except for Qiong Yao's literary movie, although a little sad, but at least the storyline can be understood.
But this is also not suitable for me, I like to fight intense movie, like Mr. Zhang Ce's, Mr. Chu Yuan's, that is really beautiful, really hot blood! It's a pity that people's royal team is very solid, and young people like me can't squeeze in, so I can only try to improve and improve again, and try to get a firm foothold in Xiangjiang as well."
"It's okay, you're only 24, so young, there's totally time." Wei Xiaofan laughed, "You came back this time, are you still going over there?"
"There are still some formalities to be dealt with, it's good to get it done this year, and there's only two sides to run." Dong Wei said, "People over there are too squirrelly, not as forthcoming as the Xiangjiang side. But it's still nice to live there, their people are a bit lazier, unlike the Xiangjiang side, where they walk like they're fighting a war."
"Ying's side, let's find him to get together tomorrow, I haven't seen him for a long time either. This time he did you a favor and let you enter the Hung Family Class, we should thank him and treat him to a meal." Wei Xiaofan said, "Last time, Teacher talked about it, every time Ying went to her side, he was in a hurry and didn't take a bite of his meal, so I don't know what he was busy with."
"Hey, isn't that simple?" Dong Wei laughed, "Brother Ying is embarrassed. Seven or eight years ago, he was a famous martial arts instructor, doing things for Li Xiaolong, but now, he can only follow Brother Bao, still a martial arts instructor, and hasn't been able to make much of a name for himself."
"That doesn't count, right?" Wei Xiaofan said, "I've heard that both Hong Jinbao and Liu Jia Liang like to use him as a martial arts director, and last year's 'San Te Monk and Pounded Rice' had a box office of about 2.3 million dollars, he's got a lot of fame!"
"What's the use of being famous? Do you know how much of a cut he got from this movie?" Dong Wei held out three fingers, "Three thousand dollars! Bao made more than half a million dollars alone, and only gave a paltry 20,000 dollars to the Hong family, that's more than a dozen people! Ying is considered the boss and only got 3,000 dollars!"
"No way? Isn't Hong Jinbao always very generous?" Wei Xiaofan said in surprise.
"Pompous? You have to look at the people he treats!" Dong Wei said, "That's not something Brother Ying said, it's something the Hong family said. Brother Bao is generous to women, he buys cars and diamond rings, but he is average to his men, he can't say that he is harsh, but he is definitely not good. They also have no good place to go, otherwise they would have left long ago."
Dong Wei said this, and Yin Jun listened with agreement.
As the saying goes, facts are the only test.
Although many people said that Hong Jin Bao was a big brother and a bold man of the jungle, you only had to look at the thirty years afterward to see how far he had gotten in the movie world to know if he was good or not.
I don't dare to say that Sammo Hung became a complete second-rate afterward, but his later achievements cannot be compared with his fame.
Another example is Ching Lung, who has not been so well received in the industry. The Academy Awards never give a damn about him, and many people say that he is not good in this way and that way, but I believe we all know what Ching Lung's final achievement is.
Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, that represents more than just its own significance, Cheng Long as a Chinese can get this award, really unprecedented first person!
Some people say that Hong Jinbao is not popular just because he is a big fat guy, but look at what Cheng Long is like? Could he, Ching Lung, be more handsome than Leung Chiu Wai or Lai Man?
You can even compare him to a mainland movie star - who do you think is more durable, Ge or Hung Kam Po? Obviously it's Hong Jinbao, OK?
But why is it that Ge has been popular for 20 years and still hasn't aged, while Hong Jinbao has only been popular for a decade or so in the 80s?
Of course it's not about success or failure, but there's always a reason why people become famous and die out.
......
In the middle of the conversation, Auntie Zhang has already made the dinner.
The little girl, Ah Yu, who had eaten a bunch of pastries that Wei Xiaofan had brought back from the Hing Kee Tea Restaurant, sat down at the table and ate faster and more than Yin Jun and his three men.
Auntie Zhang was a little embarrassed, but Wei Xiaofan just used the attitude of looking at his daughter, watching Ah Yu eat, and even gave her meat every now and then, "I like little sisters like Ah Yu, only when they eat a lot do they grow up well, and have the strength to study in the future, right?"
"Uh-huh ......"
Ayu's mouth was full of food and she nodded her head repeatedly.
Yin Jun had heard of Ayu long ago, she was Auntie Zhang's sixth child, this year she had almost turned 12 years old, and was attending elementary school in that slum area of Tune View Ridge.
Because of her age, this task of coming to take the money earned by her mom back was given to her.
If you look at it from the perspective of later generations, from the age of 10 years old, you have to walk down the mountain road by yourself, and then rolled over to take the bus to the city, and then go back alone after getting the money from your mom, so it is simply too dangerous.
However, this kind of thing happens a lot in Xiangjiang nowadays, because there are many poor people in Xiangjiang nowadays, so the children naturally help their families more.
On the other hand, the law and order in Xiangjiang is still relatively good, especially after the establishment of the ICAC a few years ago, after a series of rectification and compromises, the whole police force's culture was finally turned around, and no effort was spared in the fight against crime, so that the common people seem to be much more at peace than in previous years.
Ayu comes over every time in the morning, eats two meals here at her mom's, and stays for a night before going back.
This is because whenever this time of year comes, Wei Xiaofan will find an excuse to buy a lot of delicious food, Ayu can't eat so much good food at home, so she has to eat enough, and then also give her siblings at home to pack a big bag to go back.
Ayu's looks are not like Auntie Zhang, she looks quite tall, only 12 years old has a height of 150 centimeters, but because of the poor life reasons, looks dark and thin, let a person add a pity.
While eating, Wei Xiaofan asked, "Right, Auntie Zhang, in the second half of the year, Ayu should be in middle school, right?"
Aunt Zhang's chopsticks paused for a moment, and her face slightly changed as she said, "Yes ...... yes ......"
Wei Xiaofan touched out two large golden oxen from his pants pocket and placed them on the table, "You need tuition to study, and you also need to add school uniforms and whatnot, so let Ayu take this money and use it."
"No, no." Aunt Zhang hurriedly pushed the two thousand dollars back, "How can I take your money? I know to think of a way!"
At this time, Ah Yu, however, stopped eating for the first time and looked at her mother with a longing look, and then looked at the big golden ox on the table.
Yin Jun understood as soon as he saw it, this Ayu most likely couldn't go to middle school, like a child from a particularly poor family like her, going to elementary school was already a luxury, how could she possibly afford to go to middle school again?
That's why Wei Xiaofan gave the money without saying anything.
"What are you thinking of? Eight children ah, and a man!" Wei Xiaofan shoved the money hard into her hand, "Take it, Auntie Zhang, I eat alone and don't have that much use for money. Just think of it as me lending it to Ayu, and when she grows up and I'm old, she'll honor me as an uncle, okay?"
"This ......"
Tears streamed down Aunt Zhang's face, she couldn't even speak, full of gratitude, but couldn't say a word.
"Uncle Wei, I will definitely honor you when I grow up! I'll buy you a big house!" Ah Yu too, her little face was filled with teardrops, but her eyes were filled with determination.
Although she was small in age, she understood who exactly was the one who was good to her.
Although she had only been with Wei Xiaofan for about two years, in Ayu's heart, he was the person who loved her the most besides her mother!
Like such a good person, she was bound to repay him!
Yin Jun and Dong Wei watched from the sidelines and didn't say anything.
His paycheck from yesterday, after buying gifts for Guan's family today, he was left with about two dozen dollars, and there was no way to put together a share even if he wanted to.
Without the ability to help people, Yin Jun had always been the first to not say anything.
To help people, it was better to act practically.
