Chapter 344: Persuasion

When Song Zhen pushed the car through the winding Xujia Alley to his door, he saw that his door was open.

The layout of her home is not very good. It is difficult to visit the sun when she is trapped in the alley. Especially in the evening, the sun can only reach the windows of her home, and shoot in half the upper side of the window, barely illuminating the room.

Since she was young, she grew up here. She had become accustomed to such an environment and didn't need to get closer. She could see a man sitting on the sand in her living room, with the dim sunset draped on him.

It's Duane.

After Song Zhen put the car down, he walked in through the door and found that there was another person in his living room besides Du An.

"Zhen Zhen is back!"

The man sat on the side of the sand and saw Song Zhen standing at the door and greeted him enthusiastically, as if she was the mistress of this family.

Song Zhen glanced at the man and called "Auntie Ai".

The woman who greeted her was in her fifties, with a rich body with a burnt head and a red and green body. She completely conformed to the principle of red and green, and she seemed to think she was quite beautiful.

Her name is Lai Xiaoai. She is a neighbor in the alley. Her son and daughter are very promising. One works in the tax bureau and the other is a middle-level manager in a foreign company. She doesn't have to worry about it anymore. So she lives a good life and travels around all the time. She is also a famous matchmaker in Xujiaxiang.

Lai Xiaoai said hello to Song Zhen and ignored her. She looked at Du An again, with a smile on her face, and her eyes were almost unable to open. She pushed a photo on the coffee table to Du An and continued the topic just now: "Xiao Meng is so good, look, the girl's family is beautiful, so I won't talk about her job. She is a section chief at a young age in the state organs, and her future is unlimited!" While saying that, she also pointed the photo on the table, "Look, this look is really nothing, it's not worse than the little girls in your circle. The key is that they are innocent and have a stable job, and they are not as chaotic as the many little girls in your circle. This is what they use to be their wives..."

Du An accompanied her smile and said "Not bad," but her eyes quietly turned to Song Zhen beside her, giving a look of "save me".

Not long after he arrived at Shen Huifang's house, Aunt Ai came. She kept talking until now. He heard that she was thirsty and she was not thirsty.

After the two exchanged their eyes, Song Zhen put the bag on the coffee table, sat down on Du An's side, reached out and picked up several photos on the coffee table, looked at them one by one, and interrupted, "Auntie, there is nothing else?"

Lai Xiaoai didn't know what Song Zhen suddenly said, so she looked at her and smiled, "Why, are you still helping to check?"

Song Zhen nodded, "That's right, although I think he is not very good, my mother almost treats him as half of her son. I have to check it out for my mother's sake." After saying that, he waved the photo he held, "But to be honest, Aunt Ai, the few you introduced are really not very good. I don't even look down on him, and he looks down on him even more."

After hearing what Song Zhen said, Lai Xiaoai was anxious and said repeatedly: "Why don't you like me?" This place is full of good girls. They are all beautiful and have good wealth, so how can they not work?!" He looked like "If you can't tell me a reason, I want you to look good."

Song Zhen said: "These are indeed very good for people like us, but you should not ignore some things like I love you," she pointed to Du An, "He is a person worth hundreds of millions of yuan. According to the principle of being a good match, he doesn't ask you to find a wealthy daughter, at least he must be a lady from a wealthy family, right? At most, these are just a small family jasper."

Lai Xiaoai was a little worried and said, "What era is this? I am still a good match..." Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Song Zhen. "Auntie Ai, I remember that you don't like to pay attention to good matches when you usually talk about matches?"...

The contest between two smart women, one big and one small, ended with Song Zhen's victory.

Du An watched Lai Xiaoai leave in a dilemma, looked at Song Zhen again, and shook his head in his heart: He didn't expect Song Zhen to have such a side.

Song Zhen noticed his expression and asked, "What?" His face had returned to his former indifference and calmness.

Duane shook his head, "Nothing." Then he changed the subject, "Why are you back?"

Song Zhen said: "What you are going to talk about later is my business. Can't I, the person involved, listen?" Without saying a few words, the smell of gunpowder began to emerge again.

Du An shook his head again, "Isn't this? I just think that if you are present, there may be a little conflict. After all, this matter has been kept hidden from your mother. I suddenly told her, but I don't know what she would react."

When such a Huabiao Awards ceremony was about to be held, he returned to Nanyang and came to Shen Huifang for dinner. Of course, he was not idle but had a serious matter, which was about Song Zhen’s film appointment.

With the successful release of "Liberation Day" and some of his layouts, the next "Trueman's World" can no longer be delayed. It will start as soon as possible, and the list of crews must be decided as soon as possible. The most difficult thing here is not the important position of the male lead, not the photographer, not the director team, but relatively speaking, the heroine who is in a very important position.

Due to certain factors, Du An intends to let Song Zhen play the heroine of this movie, but in that case, they will have a problem before them, that is Shen Huifang.

Shen Huifang is a very traditional Chinese woman. They didn't even dare to tell her that Song Zhen was working part-time in Paramount. She suddenly told her that Song Zhen was going to act in a movie, but she didn't know if she could accept it. But this matter was not as concealed as Paramount's job, because at that time as soon as the movie was released or even before it was released, Shen Huifang would know that her daughter had acted in a movie and could not hide it at all, so she could only say it in advance.

Duan thought for a while, paused for a moment, and said, "Actually, it's better that you are not here. I thought so before. Give your mother a buffer time and things will be easier to handle."

Song Zhen glared at him, "Then do you mean to let me go back immediately?"

Duane shook his head again, "Forget it, you're back this time, and then you'll act according to the opportunity."

After the matter was finished, the two fell silent.

Often encountering such situations, Song Zhen had developed a way to deal with it. She picked up her bag from the coffee table, took it to the room, then boiled water and washed rice, and was busy with her own affairs. Du An sat in the living room like a master watching his TV, without the harassment of Aunt Ai, much more leisurely.

Not long after, Shen Huifang came back. She felt a little surprised by her daughter's sudden return. She pulled Song Zhen and asked a few questions. Then the mother and daughter cooked and cooked. Soon the dishes were prepared and brought them up. The three of them sat around the table and started having supper.

Du An picked up a vegetable and chewed it slowly. He looked at Shen Huifang. He didn't know how to speak for a while, but Song Zhen took the lead.

"Mom, I'm here just now."

Shen Huifang asked, "What are she here to do?"

Song Zhen rolled her eyes and said, "What else can I do? I will introduce him to a partner. She just matches people everywhere all day long. In ancient times, she was a Wang Po, or a mole on the corner of her mouth."

Shen Huifang smiled, then glanced at Du An and said carelessly: "Then do you like it?"

Before Du An could speak, Song Zhen rushed to say again: "Do you think it's possible? He is worth hundreds of millions now and is the boss of several companies. How could those people Ai Aunt knows be favored by him?" As he said that, he sighed, "Oh, it's better to enter the entertainment industry. He has earned hundreds of millions of property in just a few years. If I become a doctor in the future, I really don't know how many lifetimes it will take to make so much money."

Duane understood.

After hearing what her daughter said, Shen Huifang smiled dismissively, "This is Xiao Du's ability, do you think anyone can do it? If you were to go there, it would be great if there was a crew to ask you." After being in contact with Du An for a long time, she had learned something from the fact that she didn't know much about the entertainment industry, and the crew knew it.

Du An quickly took this opportunity to take over her words and said, "Aunt Shen, Song Zhen has a good appearance, better than many little stars in the circle. It just so happens that I have a movie ready to go. I think she is pretty good at playing a role in it."

Shen Huifang, who was still smiling just now, suddenly heard this and looked at Du An and then at her daughter. She almost realized the smell inside.

"You... have you agreed on it?"

Du An and Song Zhen looked at each other, then nodded at Shen Huifang, "Well, I'm here today mainly to discuss this matter with you."

Shen Huifang, who just heard her daughter say that she made a lot of money in the entertainment industry and expressed her envy. Now that she heard that her daughter is really likely to enter the entertainment industry, her expression is at a loss and there is no joy at all, but she is full of worry.

She stopped eating, put down the chopsticks, looked at Du An, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. Then she turned her head to look at her daughter and said, "Have you really thought about it? Don't look at Xiao Du's success so easily, you think that the matter here is very simple, it's not easy to do anything. You don't know if you're doing this business and just dive into it. This is too reckless. Moreover, I know a little about the things in the entertainment industry now, unlike before, I don't know anything. This circle is very messy, you are a girl at every family..."

Her meaning was very clear, and both Du An and Song Zhen understood it.

"If I ask me to be a doctor, although it may not be a lot of money, it is safe. And you can see that those actresses get married one after another. If you go in, when will you get married..."

Although Song Zhen was so eloquent, now that she encountered this situation, she didn't know what to say. Du An took over the conversation and said, "Aunt Shen, it is undeniable that even though there are still some messy phenomena in this circle now, but with me, do you think I will make Song Zhen suffer a loss?" He paused and said, "Besides, she has been in this industry for half a year. Isn't it still good now? She has suffered a loss and has not bullied anything."

Song Zhen didn't expect Du An to tell him about this. He was a little shocked and angry and glared at Du An several times, but it was because Shen Huifang was inconvenient to do it.

""It's been half a year?"

Shen Huifang was very surprised, and the worry on her face became more and more obvious.

"yes,"

Du An responded and told the whole story one by one, "About half a year ago, she went to participate in a recruitment..."

He roughly said what Song Zhen had half-work and half-read in the past six months. After listening to it, Shen Huifang was not as angry as Song Zhen expected. Instead, she looked at her daughter with a heartache. She obviously thought that she had to rehearse and work in the theater and study in the past six months, and took the green train to and from the hard work of Nanyang Monkhai every week.

She didn't know that her daughter had found a part-time job, but she didn't expect that it would be such a part-time job and it was so hard.

"... After performing over the past six months, Song Zhen has now become the top player in their group. Although this is a poor theater and the actors in it are not famous actors, being able to stand out among so many people has shown that she is indeed suitable for this industry and she is still talented."

Duane said again: "And I have taken good care of her in the past six months. I have not been bullied and I have not been exposed to those messy things. She is just like an ordinary office worker. This also shows that I have the ability to take good care of her in this circle."

"The end is marriage."

Du An glanced at Shen Huifang and smiled and said, "Aunt Shen, you also said that actresses in this circle get married very late, but why are they late? It is because they have a lot of choices, and some choose to choose. They don't find a dodgy girl like ordinary girls to get married for the rest of their lives, so they get married late because they have to choose the best one before they get married."

"As the saying goes, I hope my son will become a dragon, and my daughter will become a phoenix. Aunt Shen, since you have to save money on yourself, you must also support Song Zhen to go to college. I believe that Song Zhen can live a quality life without being able to make ends meet like many girls, right? After entering the entertainment industry, she has the hope of having a better and more quality life."

Before Shen Huifang could reply, Du An added: "And I didn't let her just bump into her head and never look back. She continued to study her doctor, just taking some spare time to work on the things in the circle and showing them together. If you are unhappy in the future, you can come back to be a doctor. Compared to many people, life has more choices, why not do it?"

Finally, Du An looked at Shen Huifang and asked with a smile: "Aunt Shen, what do you think?"...

When Du An left, Song Zhen was "urged" to come out and see him off.

The two of them strolled in the alley at night, with the evening breeze refreshing, and it seemed to have the fragrance of osmanthus.

A naughty little boy rubbed Duane's legs, leaving a series of laughter disappearing in the wind, carefree and enviable.

Before Du An could finish his feelings, he heard Song Zhen beside him speak out and break the peace.

"You are really good at speaking, my mother can't even tell you."

Du Anna's sudden splash before successfully convinced Shen Huifang to agree to Song Zhen to star in "The World of Truman", but she also has one condition, that is, her parents cannot waste their studies and seem to be contradictory. She feels sorry for her children and is cruelly forcing her children to endure hardships for the sake of her future. Without a parent, she may never understand this contradictory psychology.

Du An smiled and said, "Parents all hope that their children will live well. This is indeed good for you, so why would she disagree? It's just that you are busy next time, you have to go to school, be busy with theaters and make movies. It will be very hard, I hope you can hold on."

Song Zhen shook her head and did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, she asked: "I have wanted to ask you a long time ago, why did you ask me to act this time? Haven't you always worked with Zhu Qian? She is more beautiful than me and her acting skills are much better than me. Why don't you ask her to find me?"

Duane said: "The selection of actors is very complicated, and there are many factors involved. It is not to say whoever is competent will be looking for. Why do you need to find you... You can refer to a certain girl star over the years. I need some new faces."

That's it, but he didn't say the real reason.

"Some girl?"

The topic involved this aspect, and Song Zhen remembered what the boy said to him today, and said it for a while.

"Many people are saying that the success of "Liberation Day" is completely attributed to Zhang Yimou, and it has nothing to do with you..."

Duane smiled when he heard this.

How could he not know about such news? Song Zhen is still tactful.

"Puppet, right?" Duane said the word directly, then shook his head, "It doesn't matter, as long as you have money to make money, I don't care about the rest."

In Song Zhen's opinion, this may be quite serious and annoying, but Du An really doesn't care at all. Instead, he cares more about other things.

"To be honest, you are a newcomer after all, and your skills are not very mature. Fortunately, there is still time, so we can cram for a while. I have given you your character script. I suggest that you spend the next time regardless of work or daily life, so that you can spend yourself in this role every day. When the computer is turned on, I believe you will gain something..."

Song Zhen's talent seems to him a bit, but it is really limited. However, acting in a movie is not difficult at all. If he just wants to reach the passing line, he has a hundred ways to train the actors to achieve his goals.

After he explained this, the two of them had already walked to the entrance of the alley and his car appeared within sight.

Song Zhen also asked the last question, "Do you think the box office of "Liberation Day" can reach 3.8 billion?"

3.8 billion? The implication is that it is to ask if you can pass "Hero".

Du An stood at the entrance of Xujia Lane, and in front of him was the street with lights on the first floor, pavement paved with red and yellow floor tiles. A few meters to the left, there was a Xinjiang man wearing a hat set up a mutton skewer stall. Smoke was rising, and on the right was a store's loudspeaker constantly playing "Good news, good news, our store is closed!", people were passing by, and no one paid special attention to the strange man wearing a mask here.

In such a lifelike scene, an incompatible number like "3.8 billion" suddenly appeared, which was really unreal, making Du An's thoughts wander for a while in the junction of the time and the existing time and space of eating white flour at the alley. He was anxious and felt like he was not sure what to do.

But he quickly calmed down his mind, dispelled the illusion of time and space disorder, and said one word: "Yes." Then he waved to Song Zhen and smiled, "Go back, goodbye." After saying that, he walked towards his car. (To be continued.)8
