Ermatai and Luo Huifang got married two years ago. Their son was born last year and is now 16 months old.

Luo Huifang is still working at Zhuyuan Hotel, but Ermitai has made progress and has become a small contractor.

"Oh! Before I got married and had children, I just knew how to work. Now that I have a son, I want to make more money————"

When Ermatai talked about his experience as a contractor, he felt quite bitter about being forced into a dangerous situation, because it was Luo Huifang who forced him to take this path.

Luo Huifang rolled her eyes at him and said to Lin Chaoyang and his wife: "He knows how to use stupid energy. If he does it the way he did before, he won't make much money even if he works on the construction site for the rest of his life."

In order to help Ermaitai contract the project, Luo Huifang also borrowed 5,000 yuan from her parents and brothers.

"Afang's idea is right. There are so many infrastructure projects in Shenzhen now, and there are opportunities everywhere. Marrying such a wife is a blessing you earned in your previous life."

Tao Yushu's compliment made Luo Huifang smile. Ermatai could only laugh and scratch his head, and echoed: "

yes."

Lin Chaoyang frowned as he looked at it. He looked so naive and naive, and he didn't have the aura of a contractor!

Ermitai is now a contractor in his early years. He only became his own boss this year. He took over the formwork project of a commercial housing development, which is carpentry, his old profession.

As the two chatted, Ermatai noticed something was wrong with Lin Chaoyang's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chaoyang asked him: "The community where you work is called Tianjing Garden?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ermatai asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. This is a good name, and it sounds promising."

"Really?" Ermitai recited "Sky View Garden" twice. No matter how he recited it, it felt ordinary, but he did not dare to question Lin Chaoyang's aesthetics. "It sounds pretty good."

"How did you get this job?" Lin Chaoyang asked curiously.

"I know their general manager."

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but glance at Ermatai in surprise, "How do we know him?"

"When I first came to Shenzhen, I was thrown into the fire depot of Sungang North Station to work as a laborer. That buddy worked as a technician on the project, and that's how we met.

However, he was transferred away two months after I arrived. I heard that he was transferred to some unit in the province, and he suddenly became a big shot. At that time, it was spread at our construction site for a while.

At the beginning of this year, Ah Fangfei forced me to do some small projects. It happened that his company sold a land for 2000 yuan.

The sky-high price of 10,000 yuan was in the news, and I found out that he is now the general manager of a state-owned unit——"

After listening to Ermatai's story, Lin Chaoyang patted his shoulder and said, "I think this company is good. Let's work hard with them from now on."

Ermatai nodded seriously.

I stayed at Ermitai's house for two hours and had a meal together in the evening.

Before leaving the next day, Lin Chaoyang called Ermaitai and withdrew 100,000 yuan for him.

"Take advantage of this opportunity to develop well. This money is lent to you by me. Don't be in a hurry to pay it back."

In the past, Er Miantai had no ambitions, and Lin Chaoyang would not go out of his way to change him. Now that he has the motivation to move forward, Lin Chaoyang will definitely help him if he can.

"How can I use so much!"

It is true that Ermatai is now a contractor, but he is engaged in labor subcontracting. He is only responsible for the smallest sub-projects in a huge construction project. The total contract value is only tens of thousands of yuan. I have never seen it before.

So much money.

"You have to look at the problem from a development perspective. What you do in business is capital turnover. It's not bad for you to have more money." Lin Chaoyang gave him some advice.

Ermatai didn't want to be polite anymore, "Okay, then I won't be polite to you anymore."

Lin Chaoyang patted his shoulder and said, "Come on!"

"Um."

It was already evening after crossing the border from Shenzhen to Xiangjiang. After arriving home, Lin Chaoyang pulled his son and daughter over and kissed and hugged him. Dongdong struggled to run away to play with toys before he stayed with him for even a minute.

Yan Yan was still in his arms obediently, and asked in a sweet voice, "Where is daddy?"

"Dad is in Yanjing these days. Does Yan Yan miss him?"

Yan Yan thought about it seriously and then said, "I thought about it!"

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but kiss her snow-white and delicate face again, "She is such a good girl for dad!"

Then she pretended to nudge Yan Yan's waist with her nose, and she immediately burst out into crisp laughter, "Giggle, giggle - Daddy's tickled! Daddy's tickled!"

Lin Chaoyang gently held his innocent and lovely daughter, with a happy smile on his face.

Looking across the living room, he saw a "maggot" working on the ground, playing with a toy police car and making a "vivo" sound simulating a siren.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

My daughter is indeed a considerate little cotton-padded jacket, something suddenly came to Lin Chaoyang's mind.

After returning to Xiangjiang, Lin Chaoyang relaxed for a few days and then started writing the script of "Little Shoes". He was thinking about sending the script back to Yanjing when Zhang Yimou came to Xiangjiang.

His new film has been confirmed to be co-produced by Lin's Pictures and West Film Studio. After discussing this last time, Zhang Yimou went home to rest for a few days before arriving in Hong Kong.

During this time, Tao Yushu had someone contact Li Bihua and obtained the rights to adapt her novel "Qin Terracotta Warriors".

That morning, Lin Chaoyang took Zhang Yimou and made an appointment to meet Li Bihua in a cafe in Kowloon.

Li Bihua can be regarded as a model for young people to become famous in Hong Kong literary circles. When she was in middle school, she submitted articles to newspapers and periodicals because of her hobby of writing.

After graduating from high school, he worked as a screenwriter for TVB and Hong Kong Radio TV series, and successively wrote "Seven Women"

"Big Dipper" and several other TV scripts.

In 1980, she entered the film industry by chance and collaborated with Fang Yuping, one of the representative directors of Hong Kong's new wave films, in "Father and Son", and became famous in the film industry.

In the following years, she flourished as a novelist and screenwriter, writing "Farewell My Concubine" and "Rouge Button"

"Under the Lion Rock" and "Green Snake" are a series of works with great repercussions, many of which have been adapted.

She became a well-known female writer in the Hong Kong literary circle and was often compared to Yi Shu.

Unlike Yi Shu, who always likes to pretend that she is a "beautiful writer", Li Bihua has always lived in seclusion. Except for those who have collaborated with her, few readers have seen her true face in Lushan. Lin Chaoyang saw her for the first time today. She is petite.

, with shoulder-length straight hair.

Wearing a white top, blue jeans, and no makeup on her face, it wouldn't be inappropriate to say that she is a junior high school student.

After the greetings, Li Bihua politely chatted with Zhang Yimou for a few words, and then looked at Lin Chaoyang with burning eyes,

She said she had read all Lin Chaoyang's novels,

"Thank you." Lin Chaoyang said politely.

"The little Jew in Lin Sheng's "The Great Era" is really well written!"

"When Lin Sheng originally wrote "The Truman Show", how could he come up with the idea of ​​a reality show?"

"Has Lin Sheng been to Europe? I saw your "The Death of Van Gogh" as a very vivid depiction of Europe in the 19th century."

Like a curious baby, Li Bihua kept asking Lin Chaoyang questions, as if she was obsessed with a girl.

After answering for a while, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but remind him:

"Let's talk about the adaptation of "Terracotta Warriors" first.

Only then did Li Bihua remember the business of today's meeting, and said to Lin Chaoyang and Zhang Yimou: "I will write all the adaptations of my novels. Mrs. Lin has already told you about this, right?"

"As I said, we are very confident about Miss Li's ability as a screenwriter. The reason we came here today is to have you meet with Director Zhang to discuss your ideas for adapting the movie."

These days, Hong Kong filmmakers always feel a sense of superiority and pride when meeting mainland filmmakers, but facing Zhang Yimou, Li Bihua could not bring up such thoughts.

Because sitting in front of her was not only the winner of the Golden Bear Award at the West Berlin Film Festival, but also the Best Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival.

She has met the famous director and the best actor Li Bihua, but this is the first time she has met this strange person who combines the famous director and the best actor.

In terms of personal honors alone, Zhang Yimou's resume beats 100% of practitioners in the Hong Kong film industry.

In the face of absolute strength, any self-feeling sense of superiority will be timid and avoided.

Zhang Yimou has read the novel "Terracotta Warriors" these days and has a lot of ideas in mind. He is currently exchanging his views on the adaptation with Li Bihua.

Li Bihua stared at his face and suddenly said: "Director, please play Meng Tianfang!"

Meng Tianfang is the male protagonist of "Terracotta Warriors".

Zhang Yimou looked puzzled, "I play Meng Tianfang? I'm the director—"

"It doesn't matter, you direct and act!" Li Bihua responded quickly and blocked Zhang Yimou's words.

He looked at Li Bihua blankly, and then looked at Lin Chaoyang, only to see Lin Chaoyang smiling.

"Teacher Chaoyang, you——""

He wanted to ask "Why are you laughing?" but the words turned into "What do you think?"

Lin Chaoyang did not answer his question, but asked Li Bihua, "Why does Ms. Li want Yimou to play Meng Tianfang?"

Li Bihua's expression was natural, "I just think he looks like him."

Like what?

As soon as this idea came into Zhang Yimou's mind, he suddenly realized: What else could it look like? Like Meng Tianfang's terracotta warriors and horses!
