Chapter 9 "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger"

It's still that forest, and it's still the flickering bonfire.

The difference was that Jiang Liu no longer had a cold face.

He even gave each of the six Zhao Wenhong a box of instant noodles as a reward for their wonderful performance in "Along the Railway".

In the sizzling firelight, everyone peeled peanuts, cracked melon seeds, bragged and smoked, and listened to the good man Yan Liang telling a few people about the beauty of the capital and the exciting and brand-new life plan.

Zhao Wenhong and others saw what Yan Liang had done in the past few days, and they were already familiar with this person of the same age.

Encouraged by Yan Liang, they wanted to see the bustling capital, but reality did not allow them.

After a long silence, Zhao Wenhong was the first to speak: "Brother Liang, I don't even have an ID card. If I go to the capital, I will be sent back to my hometown."

Zhou Guoshan said: "Yes, the police in the capital must be more powerful."

Li Yong echoed Zhou Guoshan: "If we go to the capital, we will all be arrested in a few days."

The little girl Lu Ting thought of a question that was very relevant to her: "Is the capital very big and is it difficult to find a toilet?"

At night in Yongzhou, she at least had a toilet to protect her from wind and rain. The capital was so big that it would be hard to find a toilet.

Several people talked about many issues.

"The ID card is indeed a problem. I'll find a way. Just tell me whether you want to try it. Lu Ting, I will find a way for you to go to school, but you have to wait first."

Yan Liang's repeated questioning silenced Zhao Wenhong and others, while Jiang Liu, who was peeling peanuts, looked at his friends jokingly.

The Clay Bodhisattva wants to save the world, but the world may not be happy. The outcome of the story is almost as Jiang Liu expected.

Bored, Jiang Liu took out his pager. Seeing that it was still early for the train to arrive at the station, he took out a handful of odd and neat bills from his pocket, took out a 100-yuan note and handed it to Sun Min, the oldest of the six, and said: "This place You know me, help me buy a bag of white sand, the train ride of more than ten hours is unbearable."

Sun Min hesitated for a while, then took the money and stood up and walked out of the forest.

Yan Liang looked at Jiang Liu who changed the subject: "Aren't you quitting smoking?"

Jiang Liu said calmly, "I suddenly want to smoke."

Yan Liang said angrily: "If you hadn't told me earlier, could I have stopped smoking from you?"

Jiang Liu didn't take the red flag canal handed over by Yan Liang: "I'll draw the white sand later."

"Hypocritical." Yan Liang cursed with a smile and continued to chat with Zhao Wenhong and others about the fake future.

5 minutes, 10 minutes, 10 minutes, Sun Min has not come back yet, Yan Liang is still talking, Jiang Liu takes out the banknotes again, and says to Hou Dazhi, who is second only to Sun Min in age:
"Brother Dazhi, Sun Min is probably delayed because of something and hasn't come back yet. Go and buy some white sand for me. I have to catch the train later, so don't be too late."

Hou Dazhi stood up and took the money without hesitation: "Okay, I'll be back in a minute."

"Thank you." Jiang Liu smiled and said thank you.

Hou Dazhi also left after Sun Min. In addition to Jiang Liu and Yan Liang, there were four people left by Zhao Wenhong and his party beside the bonfire.

Gradually, Yan Liang's voice became softer, and he looked inexplicably towards Jiang Liu, who always kept a smile.

Before Yan Liang could speak, Zhou Guoshan, who was holding a chicken coop on his head, called Jiang Liu and said, "Brother Jiang, the train is coming soon. You should leave quickly. You can't get your money and cigarettes back."

Jiang Liu made an intriguing sound: "Oh?"

"Go to the train station to buy cigarettes. It only takes us 20 minutes to go back and forth. Sun Min and Hou Dazhi haven't come back yet. They must have taken the money and ran away."

Jiang Liu evaded: "Maybe something delayed me."

"Shit, they just ran away, they are not moral."

After Zhao Wenhong insisted that Sun and Hou took the money and ran away, she looked at Zhou Guoshan and Li Yong and said, "If you see them in the daytime, give them a beating."

Zhou Guoshan and Li Yong nodded, and Zhou Guoshan even said: "Let's do Sun Min first. He always brags that he has seen a lot of things before his ID card was stolen."

Li Yong disagreed: "Let's start with Hou Dazhi. He has long legs and can run very fast, so it's hard to catch him."

"Forget it, it's just such a little money, it's not worth fighting."

Jiang Liu refused the kindness of Zhao Wenhong and the others to help him, stood up by pressing Yan Liang's shoulders, and said leisurely: "I'll leave first, you can take care of yourself."

Yan Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't rush back on the 11th. Please ask for leave."

"Sure, no problem." In the night, Jiang Liu picked up his luggage and walked out of the forest.

A person walks alone in the dark night and does not see the river and is afraid. It really fulfills the old saying "How can you dare to go up Liangshan without three or two or three".

We arrived at the station safely all the way. The train bound for the capital arrived on time. Jiang Liu followed the crowd and boarded the train.

Back home alone, the boring Jiang Liu on the train started brainstorming.

Inspired by sporadic entertainment news recently, he came up with the idea of ​​shooting a feature-length work with a small amount of money.

Jiang Liu's project is not a documentary like "Along the Railway".

Nor is it one of the popular underground art films nowadays.

It is a major movie that has been reviewed by relevant departments, is formal, and will go into cinemas to meet the audience.

Jiang Liu knew that it was difficult to make money making movies in the 2000s.

But Jiang Liu believed that as long as this movie was made and successfully released, he would have a chance to make a small profit.

His difficulty is that the filming funds are only 2, which is far from the massive funds required to shoot a feature-length film.

However, Jiang Liu suddenly became ambitious and naturally thought about how to make up for the lack of funds.

He has another identity, the director's assistant on the crew of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair".

The identity of the director's assistant on the set seems useless, but if you make good use of it, it should be no problem to let the makeup artist do the makeup and ask the photographer to take some time off to do some private work. To do all this, you only need a good connection.

Moreover, the movie he is about to tinker with does not require sophisticated costumes and plot arrangements, and he must focus on getting the job done.

On the train, the more Jiang Liu thought about it, the more he thought he had a clue. After all, he wouldn't lose much if he failed.

If everything goes as he wishes, he may be able to successfully become a millionaire this year, and his quality of life will be significantly improved.

As soon as he said it, Jiang Liu took out the notebook in his bag, and there was a flurry of "swishing".

Script character 5:.
"Brother, what you wrote is interesting."

Jiang Liu was writing furiously when a young man next to him suddenly said.

"Tell me what's interesting." Jiang Liuxiao asked.

"Is the title of your script the same as a movie that Ang Lee is going to release?"

Discovering that the buddy next to him regarded "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Jiang Liu couldn't help laughing and said, "Yeah, I'm going to compete with Ang Lee in the ring."

The buddy looked shocked: "Awesome, let's fight in the ring with Ang Lee!"

"That is, if I don't compete with Ang Lee in the ring, I won't film it. I will support my brother when the movie is released." Jiang Liu said with a smile.

"That's necessary. We have been on the same boat for a hundred years. We are destined."
