Chapter 687 Popsicles
Lin Xiaoling sat in the co-pilot and directed the man beside her to drive the car into the alley.?
Driving in the Beijing Hutong is a technical job. The road is narrow and it is barely enough for two cars to run in parallel. There are houses around it. There may be things piled up at the doorstep, which are all obstacles.
There are also elderly people and children walking in the alley. You must be careful when driving and not be careless.
Generally, taxis are unwilling to enter the alley, and tricycles are the main force of transportation.
The car was parked, Lin Xiaoling got out of the car, came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and looked at the pile of gifts inside.
"I said why did you buy so many? Just buy a few of them. How can you move them?" Lin Xiaoling complained.
"It's just a little bit of your heart, don't worry, I'll get through a few more trips and I'll finish it." The man responded.
There are tobacco and alcohol in the trunk, as well as popular health products on the market, as well as newly launched tea fruits.
"Okay, you can take your time." Lin Xiaoling nodded.
Lin Xiaoling picked two light and efficient health products and walked in front, while the man followed behind with a box of wine.
As soon as she opened the door, she was her little niece running towards her. While holding her sister-in-law's hand, Xiaoxue looked at the man behind curiously.
"You are here, hurry up and get in the house. Didn't you say it's ten o'clock?" Lin Zixuan walked out and greeted.
"There is a traffic jam, and the roads in the capital should be renovated. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to get stuck every day. If I had known it, I would rather take the subway." Lin Xiaoling said depressedly.
There are more and more private cars in the capital, urban roads are old, and traffic jams are common.
The government proposed to build a new Beijing city based on the Olympics and re-plan the transportation system of Beijing in the next few years.
"You, stop complaining, let Xiao Liu sit in the house. Really, I came here as soon as I came, and I bought these things. There is nothing in the house." Lin Zixuan urged.
"Brother Lin, this is a little bit of my wish for uncles and aunts." said.
"You put the things in that room and then move the things in the car over." Lin Xiaoling took Xiao Liu to the inner room and explained.
This is the first time Lin Xiaoling has taken her boyfriend home.
Xiao Liu is named Liu Yang, and is a photographer. She was on the crew as early as when Lin Xiaoling was filming "Going Home". Later, she filmed the sequel to "Desire" and "My Savage Girlfriend".
He is not very famous in the circle, but his shooting philosophy is in line with Lin Xiaoling's ideas and is good at documentary style.
After several collaborations, the two got to know each other and began to date.
To be honest, the entertainment industry is a relatively closed circle with a narrow social scene and no time to fall in love.
Most people are combined with people in the circle.
Think about it, a drama will take half a year to shoot, and everyone will eat and drink together in the past six months, which will take longer than spending time with their family members, which creates conditions.
There are also people who interact with outsiders, but there are many problems.
One is time. The working hours and location of this line are not fixed, and family members will be neglected invisibly.
The second is concept. People outside the circle have different opinions on the entertainment industry.
Taking the actor as an example, I found an outsider. Can this person tolerate the intimate scenes of his husband or wife in the play, and will there be conflicts?
Ge You had encountered this situation, so he rarely made intimate scenes.
If both parties are insiders, treat intimate drama as a job and understand each other.
Lin Xiaoling is 27 years old this year, and Zheng Xiulian has been worried about her daughter's marriage.
But once the filming is done, the entire cycle from preparation to release will take more than half a year. As a director, I really don’t have time to fall in love, so it’s not easy to meet someone who suits you.
While talking, Zheng Xiulian and Mu Shanshan walked out and looked at Liu Yang.
Liu Yang and Lin Xiaoling are about the same age, they are quite energetic and have a medium appearance.
In Beijing, it feels good to be brought to your home. If both families are satisfied, the parents will meet and discuss marriage.
This matter was discussed at a meeting at the Lin family.
Lin Zixuan doesn’t care about Liu Yang’s family background. Whether he is talented depends mainly on his sister’s meaning. Marriage is a lifelong thing, and the best thing that suits him is.
Of course, he has to check the other person's character and personality, and character is more important than family background.
Liu Yang is an employee of Haomeng Company, and Lin Zixuan has learned about it.
Lin Xiaoling's personality is a bit strong, which has a lot to do with her being a director. It's not okay to control a crew that is not strong. Liu Yang is the kind of person who is easy to talk to.
The two have complementary personalities.
Liu Yang moved the gifts and sat in the room to talk to him. Facing Zheng Xiulian's interrogation, he was under a lot of pressure.
Marriage has never been a matter of two people. He was mentally prepared when dating Lin Xiaoling.
I had a meal at noon and drank some wine, and the first meeting ended like this.
Zheng Xiulian hopes that her daughter will get married as soon as possible, and she is not too picky. In her concept, she is almost an old girl at the age of 27 or 28, and getting married and having children is a serious matter.
She asked Lin Zixuan not to let Lin Xiaoling film anymore and get married with peace of mind.
Lin Zixuan agreed.
After filming "My Savage Girlfriend", Lin Xiaoling continued to be responsible for the Youth Director Support Fund, select suitable film projects, and provide guidance to the Young Directors.
This job can be freely arranged, not as busy as the director.
Lin Xiaoling is also a member of the China Directors Association. As a representative of young directors, she participates in various exchange activities.
Currently, the sixth generation directors are divided into two groups.
A group of people who studied Jia Zhangke, filmed films on the marginal themes of society, and won awards at the International Film Festival.
Another group of learners, Lin Xiaoling, wandering between art and business.
He not only retains his personality, but also moves closer to the mainstream market, fades away the dark side of the film, and turns to express himself in a new way.
The former may have gained fame and fortune abroad, but the film cannot be released in the country.
Except for a few art film lovers, the public does not know the films he made and is unwilling to watch such heavy movies. Even if they are released in theaters, the box office can be imagined.
There are really not many viewers in China who like to watch art films, this place is not Europe.
Some people think that we should stick to art, not kitsch, and not compromise.
Some people are making adjustments and changes to adapt to the audience and the market, so that the movie can gain greater influence.
Everyone has different understandings and definitions of art. The two people who studied together at the Film Academy are now gradually drifting away on their own paths.
After seeing Liu Yang off, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan looked at a lot of gifts.
"I remember the first time you went to my house, did you get a bag of tea?" Mu Shanshan recalled.
"I also invited you to have a popsicle." Lin Zixuan thought for a while and added.
"That's all right. So I was bribed by a popsicle?" Mu Shanshan said speechlessly.
The two seemed to have returned to the hot summer years ago, and walked in the alley with popsicles together. The coolness and sweetness of the popsicles melted have been flowing into their hearts.8
