It was Chu Ling'er's grandfather's birthday. Even though she wanted the uncle to help her, Lin Dong did not plan to go.
He spent some time to refine the jade pillow that the High Scholar hid in the ground. Then, he added a small Qi Nourishing and Mind Calming Array on it and gave it to Chu Ling'er as a gift. Chu Ling'er saw that the jade pillow was crystal clear, and there were a few stars shining inside. She knew that it was a super treasure and immediately hugged it, unwilling to let go. She immediately forgave the annoying uncle who did not want to accompany her to the birthday party.
Moreover, she even tested the jade pillow's effects.
Lin Dong said that with this jade pillow, the quality of sleep would be better. After a long time, it could even prolong one's life. She immediately hugged the jade pillow and fell asleep. She realized that she did not even have dreams. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and refreshed. She immediately called her grandfather to tell him the good news. "Grandfather, I want to give you a big treasure. If you use it, you will definitely live a long life!"
Her grandfather knew that his granddaughter loved to fool around. He thought that it was ginseng, ganoderma, or monkey head mushroom. He laughed and said that it was good, but he did not think much of it.
"When the time comes, I will let you know how powerful I am!" Chu Ling'er decided to endure for a few days. She would show it to everyone during the birthday party.
"Where's the cute girl?" Lin Dong realized that the cute girl was not by Chu Ling'er's side today.
Strange, did the two of them have a time when they were separated?
Chu Ling'er chuckled and gloated, "Xiao Meng is in trouble now. Once that online shop opened, there were too many orders, and her mother couldn't even handle it. So, she had to work as a child laborer, working overtime without sleeping, and receiving no money. If you saw her, you would definitely call her a national treasure, because both of her eyes have turned into panda eyes, haha!"
Not only did she not help, but she was also laughing so happily.
Lin Dong immediately slapped the little girl's head. "Go and help now, or else I will take back the jade pillow!"
Want Chu Ling'er to help? Both the cute girl and her mother did not dare to do that. If this girl wanted to help, it would only make things worse. She had actually gone to the land of fish and rice before, but the cute girl rushed back.
"Okay, I will go now!" Of course, Chu Ling'er would not go against Lin Dong's wishes. She decided to go over and help him eat. She hugged the jade pillow and skipped away.
"This girl …" Qianjun sighed inwardly. Whoever married this girl when she grew up would be unlucky.
"I think it's alright!" Cheng Mingge had plenty of ways to deal with her. As the leader of the Flat-Chested Alliance, the class monitor did not think that Chu Ling'er could overturn the heavens. Even if Chu Ling'er was the Monkey King, she would not be able to escape from her grasp. Therefore, she could do whatever she wanted. Also, some people were very naughty when they were young, but when they grew up, they became very polite. Some things were hard to say.
Not only did he refine the jade pillow, but he also refined the jade paperweight and the inkstone.
He placed it on the desk in the study.
The female soldiers felt that the entire room was suddenly filled with an indescribable scholarly aura. Their bodies and minds felt refreshed, and they all had the urge to pick up their pens and write. It was a pity that the study had everything but pen and paper, which made people feel very regretful. When Fatty Yu Feng decorated the study, he did not think about the problem of writing at all. Besides, how could he hold a pen? The most beautiful pen writing was the signature that was designed by someone. As for the brush writing, he had heard of Yan Liu, but could he tell which one was Yan Liu from the two pieces of calligraphy? It was already good enough to store a room full of books!
Despite the rapid progress, the female soldiers were still far from the standard in Lin Dong's mind.
The training continued.
Qianjun and Ye Qianru left with the female soldiers. They were now mainly entering the Dragon's Mouth Mine and the underground river for special training. Ancient martial arts could not be practiced in the house, and because the power of the Burst Killing Fist was too great, it was not good to expose it outside. Therefore, they had to find a suitable place to practice. The underground river was the best choice in terms of environmental conditions and geographical location.
"Aren't you two going out today?" Lin Dong saw that Cheng Mingge and Yu Tongtong were still at home and felt a little strange. Usually, they went out early. What was going on today?
"We have an appointment with someone!" Yu Tongtong suddenly sat close to Lin Dong and said, "I heard that you met a lot of big stars at the auction?"
"Don't tell me you want those people's autographs?" Lin Dong wanted to say, "How old are you this year? Why are you still so childish?"
"Do you want to make a movie?" Yu Tongtong's thinking was just like an electronic device.
"Why would I want to make a movie out of nowhere?" Lin Dong was puzzled.
"Don't you want to make a name for yourself and expand your influence? There are so many brainless fans now. If you haven't made a movie before, you are embarrassed to say that you are a celebrity! " Yu Tongtong did not know that Lin Dong wanted to make a name for himself and expand his influence by absorbing the power of faith, but she knew that the most convenient way was to make a movie.
"What happened?" Lin Dong quickly looked at Cheng Mingge.
"It's like this." Cheng Mingge hurriedly explained, "There's a director who came to us. He's a banned director. Because of the subject matter, his works have never been released in China. However, he has a good reputation overseas and has won many awards. Some time ago, through a friend's recommendation, he came to Dong Mountain to find us, hoping to get an investment. "
"You can invest. I don't disagree!" Lin Dong laughed when he heard that. You can use the money as you wish. It doesn't matter if you want to invest. But what does the banned film mean? Is he trying to mock Guo Jia?
"The director wants you to be a supporting actor in the movie!" Yu Tongtong finally revealed her true intention.
"Impossible!" Lin Dong rejected immediately. Not to mention the supporting actor, even the male lead would not do. I can watch movies, but I am not interested in making movies!
"We have all read the script. It is very exciting. I have never seen such a touching story!" Yu Tongtong decided to use her honey trap. She wrapped her arms around Lin Dong's neck and said in a coquettish tone, "Just read the script. We will only treat you well. Why would we cheat you? Scoundrel, what do you say?"
"Don't say that. I feel uncomfortable!" Lin Dong felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Haha!" Cheng Mingge laughed so hard that he could not sit still and almost fell off the sofa.
Lin Dong quickly figured out the situation. So it was like this. There was a banned director, Director Li, who had not the slightest bit of fame in the country. This Director Li had won countless awards overseas, but her films had never been shown in the country. She had no fame to speak of and could not get any sponsors. About a month ago, this Director Li came to Dong Mountain under the recommendation of her distant cousin. Then, through various connections, she finally found a girl from Knights of the Sky, and through this girl, she found Cheng Mingge.
Originally, Cheng Mingge refused this kind of thing. She knew that Lin Dong would not make a movie for others, let alone a supporting actor. Why not let him play a small role?
But out of courtesy, she looked at the script.
Cheng Mingge took a look and found that the script was really good.
So, she suggested that she could invest, but there was no need to talk about the supporting actor.
At first, Yu Tongtong also objected, but when she heard that the script was good, she read it again. In the end, she persuaded Cheng Mingge, saying that she would bring the script back for Lin Dong to read. Maybe he would have a different opinion.
"You don't know how busy I am!" Lin Dong wanted to complain that he did not even have time to sleep. He cultivated all day, how could he have time to make a movie?
"Your role doesn't have a lot of scenes, and you just need to keep a straight face and act cool. You don't need any acting skills at all. It's just right for a rookie in the film industry like you!" Yu Tongtong felt that if this movie was made, it would be a super classic. So, even though she knew that Lin Dong was not free, she could not bear to give up this opportunity. Moreover, this role, to be honest, was too suitable for Lin Dong. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she could not refuse this temptation.
The director soon arrived.
It was a woman wearing black-rimmed glasses, short hair, and a suit. She looked more like a cultured man.
As for the purpose of her visit, she was honest. The first thing she said after sitting down was, "The Taotao asked me to come!"
"The Taotao?" Lin Dong, Cheng Mingge, and Yu Tongtong were stunned.
No one knew the Taotao!
The three of them looked at each other.
They shook their heads.
"You may not know the Taotao, but you should know her godfather, the Golden Tooth. I heard from the Taotao that you even beat the Golden Tooth up!" Director Li was very straightforward and did not hide her purpose. "The Golden Tooth is a gangster. Because of his bad relationship with you, he can't go on anymore. So, he thought of a way to use this opportunity to ease his relationship with you. I didn't agree at first. Making movies is my artistic life, and I can't let this kind of person ruin it. Even if I lack money, I can't do this kind of thing. But after coming to Dong Mountain, I collected some information about you and changed my opinion. I'm very interested in you! "
"…" Lin Dong was speechless. Even if she was interested, she could not say it out loud, right? What happened to her reserved attitude?
"Don't misunderstand. My interest is to make movies. I like women!" As soon as Director Li said that, Cheng Mingge and Yu Tongtong quickly moved away from her and sat next to Lin Dong. Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief. It was safe now. It turned out that she was a woman!
"I used to want to make a super classic love movie. Unfortunately, no one in the country is willing to invest in it. As for foreign investors, most of them have a little bit of money and drag it on. Moreover, they don't have good intentions. Most of the positive ones won't pass, and they won't support them. As for the negative ones or those that attack our social structure, they will immediately give some money to support them. It's not a problem to make a small award. When I was short of money, I often made some films like that. So, gradually, I became a director who had no clear rules, but everyone in the industry knew about it! "Director Li's characteristic was that he was very straightforward, more manly than a man.
Lin Dong took the script from her and read through it.
He found that it was really a good story.
However, he did not have the time or the mood to make a movie, so he could only refuse. "We can invest the money, but I won't act in the role. I have a lot of things to do. You should understand that some things are more important than making money."
Director Li seemed to have known that Lin Dong would refuse like this. She waved her hand and said, "I know you have your difficulties, and I understand very well. However, I will only give you one reason. I have told them this reason before. Now, I will tell you again. I hope you will listen to it before you decide whether to make the movie or not. Actually, I have to make up my mind to continue on the path of forbidden movies. I don't lack money from overseas. Even if I don't have much money from overseas, it won't be difficult for a rich guy like Golden Tooth to get a hundred million or tens of millions from him. But my dream is not to make a forbidden movie, not to win an award, not even for fame. My dream is to let our people's movies really enter Hollywood. Just like how they sweep our movie market every year, I want to counterattack their movie market! I want to let our countrymen know that our movies aren't any worse than the foreign devils'. I want to let those who suck up to the foreign devils all day see that the movies made by our countrymen aren't all trash. We also have super classic movies and love stories that transcend life and death! "
