Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 945 Two Movies (Two in One)

When Si Jin said "It's me", he suddenly had the urge to cry.

He didn't know what it was for.

Is it because Zhang Zhong still remembers himself and is moved?

Actually not, he has a good relationship with Zhang Zhong, but only good.

At that time, he was emotional for a while when he heard about Zhang Zhong's accident, but after a while he forgot about it, and even almost forgot about Zhang Zhong, who was busy with work and life every day.

A few years later, he heard from his classmates that Zhang Zhong was discharged from the hospital. He was both surprised and happy, but only for a while, and then went on with his own life.

After a while, he began to see Zhang Zhong on the news, only to find that Zhang Zhong had become a famous writer.

Later, I saw news about Zhang Zhong one after another. Zhang Zhong's fame grew to an unimaginable level.

He felt surprised, but he never thought of going to Zhang to rekindle his old relationship.

The relationship between him and Zhang Zhong was like this, an ordinary roommate who had lived together for four years—that's all.

And the reason why he wanted to cry was probably because the winter night eight years ago suddenly appeared in his mind, making the past eight years suddenly blank.

He even had a little fear, afraid that in the blink of an eye, another ten or twenty years would pass, and his whole life would be spent in such emptiness.

But then when he saw his wife and son, he came out of this fear again.

The past eight years have not been blank at all. He worked hard to make money, met his wife, gave birth to a son, and had a happy family.

Beautiful memories came to mind one after another, filling in the gap of these eight years.

Si Jin couldn't help but put his arms around his wife.

The latter was embraced by her husband, and she asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

Si Jin shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, I just want to hug you."

"Hey, didn't you do something bad? I gave you 500 yuan to buy vegetables the day before yesterday. Did you hide your private money?" Zhu Wen smiled and questioned Si Jin.

Si Jin quickly raised his hands, "No, absolutely not. I paid electronically. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the screenshot. I spent five hundred and five yuan, and I lost five yuan."

"Oh? Electronic payment? So the 500 yuan cash I gave you is still in your pocket?" Zhu Wen said with a smile.

Si Jin's expression froze, he just wanted to explain that he was not hiding anything, but revealed the fact that he still had money in his e-wallet.

Of course, Zhu Wen didn't really blame him, he was just joking with him.

"Okay, if you don't have enough money, I'll give it to you. By the way, why don't you contact Zhang Zhong? According to him, you used to have a good relationship, why haven't you been in touch?" Zhu Wen said.

Si Jin shook his head, "The relationship is average, and I didn't take the initiative to contact him before. Now that he has developed, I take the initiative to contact him. It's always a bit uncomfortable."

"You, I just want to save face too much. Didn't people take the initiative to mention you? It's okay to send him a blessing text message for this New Year's Eve. Besides, we are not trying to trick him, so you just imagine him as a Ordinary friends, if you suddenly hear the other party mention you, don't you want to contact him to see?" Zhu Wen said.

……

"Pengpeng, you already owe me 78 cards."

Zhang Zhong held the poker cards in his hand and looked like a winner. Sitting opposite him were Peng Peng with a bitter face, and his grandparents and Xu Yuhan who were watching the show.

"Didn't I sweep the floor yesterday? Can't I deduct a card?" Peng Peng said.

Zhang Zhong shook his head, "Sweeping the floor was what you were supposed to do yesterday, how could you deduct a card. Otherwise, it's my turn to sweep the floor today. If you sweep the floor, I will deduct a card for you."

Pengpeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll sweep the floor today, Dad, give me a card."

"I'll give it to you after you've finished sweeping the floor. This is called handing over the task with one hand and the cards with the other hand." Zhang Chong said with a smile.

"Well, it's my turn to ask questions this time."

"Yes, it's your turn, you can ask questions."

Pengpeng thought for a while and said, "What has the unicorn become when it reaches the North Pole?"

"Are you talking about the divine beast unicorn?" Xu Yuhan asked.

"Well, it's the mythical beast Qilin." Pengpeng nodded.

Xu Yuhan thought for a while and said, "Is it a polar bear?"

"Hey, no." Pengpeng smiled triumphantly, "Dad, answer quickly."

"I guess..." Zhang Zhong was about to speak, but the phone suddenly rang, and there was a new WeChat message.

Zhang Zhong opened it and raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised by the person who wrote the letter.

Si Jin, a friend who hasn't been in touch since graduation.

The message is very ordinary, just a blessing text message.

But seeing this blessing text message, Zhang Zhong guessed that Si Jin probably saw the news, otherwise he wouldn't suddenly send him a text message.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong directly made a voice call.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

It took a while for the voice to be connected when it was about to be cut off.

"Hey."

In the past eight years, the appearance of a person may have changed a lot, but the voice has not changed much.

A familiar voice came from the microphone, and Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Brother Jin, don't come here without any problems."

"Did you speak, is it Zhang Zhong? You answer..."

Instead of hearing Si Jin's voice, Zhang Zhong heard a woman's voice instead. Although the other party could lower his voice, Zhang Zhong still heard it.

Probably Si Jin's wife, Zhang Zhong guessed.

"Ahem, Zhang Zhong, long time no see, happy new year." Si Jin finally spoke.

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Happy New Year, how are you doing recently? I mentioned you to the students last night, but I didn't expect to hear from you today. I thought you remembered the ten-year agreement between us, and you must wait until ten years Years ago I was contacted."

"Actually... I just read the news and knew that you mentioned me, so I contacted you on purpose. I didn't expect you to remember the chat back then."

"Don't you remember?"

"I remember too."

"That's right, such a thing is very unforgettable. I don't think I will be able to forget the chat between the two of us that winter in ten or twenty years. How are you doing recently? The last time I talked to Lin Lin When Song Xiang was chatting with you, he accidentally mentioned you, it seems that you are already married, right?"

"I've been married a long time ago, and my children can already make soy sauce."

Zhang Zhong also glanced at Pengpeng, and said with a smile, "Coincidentally, my home can also make soy sauce, and I can make several bottles at a time."

Si Jin also laughed, "I saw you on TV, and it seems that you haven't changed much. You are still white and handsome as before, unlike me, who continued to put on weight after graduation, and now he is almost 180 catties."

"Hey, hearing you say that, I really want to see what you look like now."

Zhang Zhong really wanted to see what Si Jin looked like now. In his impression, Si Jin was the kind of boy with a good figure, or a little on the thin side.

Si Jin's height is about 1.7 meters 120. When he was in college, he only weighed less than 180 catties. If we say that he is now almost [-] catties, he has gained [-] catties, which is really unimaginable.

Zhang Zhong thought again of the class reunion organized by Yu Jun after he woke up, where he saw Lu Jun who had gained weight.

Lu Jun was as thin as a stick, and he was called a reed stick, but he grew to a hundred and eighty-nine catties.

Thinking about it this way, Si Jin is probably in the same situation as Lu Jun.

"I wanted to lose weight several times, but I didn't stick to it. I'm a little puzzled now, why I didn't gain weight when I just ate. I remember that I ate a lot and exercised less, but I was still very thin of."

"Less exercise does not mean less consumption, and now that I am older, my basal metabolism has also declined. It is normal to grow a little fat."

"What about you, why haven't you put on weight? I'm already two years older than you, and now that we're standing together, no one thinks we're the same age." Si Jin laughed.

"You still have self-knowledge..."

The female voice just now spoke again.

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Is sister-in-law here?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhong heard his presence, Zhu Wen simply said into the phone at a normal volume, "Hi, Zhang Zhong, I'm Si Jin's wife Zhu Wen. I never knew you were still roommates."

"Didn't I tell you that you didn't believe it yourself?" Si Jin said.

"I thought what you said casually, but who knows it's true." Zhu Wen said.

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "We are roommates, and Brother Jin also took good care of me in the past. I still remember that he often brought me meals and fetched water for me."

"You were very lazy at the time. For a while, you seemed to be reading some strange novels. You didn't leave the dormitory for two or three days in a row. I brought you meals every day." Si Jin laughed.

"It's no wonder that he became a great writer and forgot to sleep and eat just to read books." Zhu Wen said.

This made Zhang Zhong feel a little embarrassed. He was really addicted to ghost novels for a while, and he liked to watch videos of unsolved scientific mysteries on the Internet. He forgot to eat when he saw them.

But to say that this has anything to do with great writers is pure nonsense.

"Where are you celebrating the New Year now?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"In Nan'an, my parents' side." Si Jin replied.

"It's not far from Jiangyang, come back to Jiangyang to play with me when you have time, haven't you been back to school for a long time?"

"Yeah, I've been in Yanjing since I graduated. I haven't been back to Jiangyang. I'm busy with Chinese New Year. I'll go back to school when I have time. Congratulations too. You're now the principal of a school. I heard that before you Teaching at Jiangyang University, are you taking classes there now?"

"Well, I'm still working concurrently, so I can earn an extra salary."

"Don't be kidding, do you still lack this salary?"

"Lack, why not lack..."

After chatting with Si Jin for more than ten minutes, it was Si Jin who first proposed to hang up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhong saw that Pengpeng was still looking at him, "Dad, you're done calling, answer my question quickly."

"I don't know how to do this." Zhang Zhong simply drew a card from his hand and gave it to Pengpeng.

Pengpeng accepted the card with a smile, "Hee hee, when the unicorn reaches the North Pole, it becomes ice cream."

"Oh, so it's ice cream." Zhang Zhong showed a sudden realization.

Zhang Zhong had actually heard of this question before, but seeing that Pengpeng had waited more than ten minutes for an answer, Zhang Zhong decided to pay her a card to make her happy.

In fact, many of the questions that Pengpeng is asking now are not good at Zhang Zhong, because for this game, Pengpeng often collects some more off-the-wall brain teasers.

Ever since that game was played in London, the game has become a family repertoire, as long as the whole family is free, they will play this game.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, Zhang Chong has two films to be released, namely "Murder on the Orient Express" and "The Devotion of Suspect X".

Previously, "Murder on the Orient Express" was scheduled for the Golden Week of November last year, but because "The Shining" was on the Golden Week of November at that time, Wenner Company postponed "Murder on the Orient Express" to New Year's Eve first day.

After all, Wenner Company also wants to make money, and they don't want their company's two major films to compete for the box office in the same schedule.

But in this way, "Murder on the Orient Express" will collide with "The Devotion of Suspect X", which means that Zhang Zhong's company and Wenner's company have changed from partners to competitors during this year's Spring Festival.

Both are speculative novels, which have the problem of homogeneity, and they will definitely affect each other's box office.

Because of the type of movie, Zhang Zhong didn't take Pengpeng to see it, but waited until the evening to buy two movie tickets by himself and watched both movies.

Both films are very well made, and Wenner Company is naturally a leader in the industry. The films are excellent in terms of narrative rhythm, camera, and soundtrack.

And Lin Song, the director of "Suspect X's Devotion", does have two brushes in shooting this type of film.

The highlight of "Suspect X's Devotion" is not the reasoning process, because everyone knows who the murderer is from the beginning, and the highlight of the movie is the game between the murderer, the police and Yu Chuan.

Lin Song filmed the story in the middle very compactly and touchingly.

Both films have their strengths.

"Murder on the Orient Express" is a masterpiece of the Poirot series. Basically, as long as you are a fan of the Poirot series, you will definitely watch this movie.

Moreover, this film is produced by Wenner Company, and the director and actors are all international celebrities.

"The Devotion of Suspect x" is less famous than "Murder on the Orient Express" both in terms of the original work and the fame of the main creative team, but "The Devotion of Suspect x" is richer in elements and more ups and downs in the plot ups and downs.

The most attractive thing about "Murder on the Orient Express" is the reversal at the end, which definitely has an impact on the movie box office.

In order to make the movie more exciting, Lin Song made some changes to the original "The Devotion of Suspect X" in order to get more excitement in the plot.

However, the original work of "Murder on the Orient Express" is very difficult to revise, because this novel is deducted bit by bit, and it cannot be changed anywhere.
