Huayu Entertainment 1995 started with hijacking.

Chapter 56 Angry
After saying goodbye to Grandma Ruan, Wu Yuchen was still reflecting on the incident on his way back.

Deep down, what he most wanted to film was "Mr. Donkey." Whether in terms of the story's brilliance or its artistic depth and meaning, "Mr. Donkey" surpasses the other two films, and it's also one of his personal favorites. However, given the current situation, filming it carries risks, and he can't force it.

From a novelty standpoint, "Coherence" is undoubtedly the best choice. It also has the lowest production cost and saves time and effort. The original film was completed in 5 days, and he could finish it in 10 days as well. Moreover, something so new can be shown off in Europe and America.

Wu Yuchen calculated the time and found that he could participate in several fantasy film festivals in the second half of next year, so he had plenty of time. It's just a little over 10 yuan; he could save up enough to make the film himself, and there wouldn't be any censorship issues.

As for the film "We Two", it's pretty standard and definitely a heartwarming movie, but the story is weaker than the other two, and it relies heavily on the actors' performances.

One advantage is that if we're filming "Us Two," we can use the winter season right away. Unlike "Mr. Donkey," which had to wait until next spring when the weather warms up before filming could begin.

Wu Yuchen then shook his head, saying it was still uncertain whether he would be selected.

However, he has done everything he could this time, and the outcome is beyond his control. He can only say that he has done his best and left the rest to fate.

To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of money. Although Tu Honggang gave them 2 yuan, it's definitely not enough to make a feature film. Now Wu Yuchen is hoping to receive news from Berlin soon.

……

The next day, Saturday.

Wu Yuchen got up early to tidy up his hair, even spraying some mousse on it. Finally, he put on his wool coat and scarf and left the house amidst his roommates' teasing.

Now that he has finally finished working on the documentary "Dance of Martial Arts," he has some free time on the weekend and can finally have a nice date with Jiang Qinqin.

And today is also a special day, his 18th birthday.

On this day of coming of age, he hoped to take this opportunity to win over Jiang Qinqin!

It's already December in Beijing, and forget about the duck boats; even strolling in the park is too cold.

These days there aren't many entertainment options, and Wu Yuchen didn't want to take Jiang Qinqin to any messy places, so he took her shopping at the mall instead.

Jiang Qinqin was quite happy. After all, Wu Yuchen had been busy, and this was the first time the two of them had gone shopping together. She didn't get tired of strolling around hand in hand, and they could chat happily about anything they saw. Couples never get bored doing anything together.

How could I bear to blame you for making a mistake?
"I gave you too much freedom!"

As she passed a music store, she heard a clear and bright singing voice coming from inside. Jiang Qinqin immediately stopped, her face lighting up with delight.
"Hey, has Jeff Chang released a new song?"

Since "Love Like a Tide" became a hit in mainland China a couple of years ago, Jeff Chang has become known as the prince of love songs. Moreover, his voice is very distinctive, and Jiang Qinqin naturally recognized it immediately.

Wu Yuchen is very familiar with this song, it's "Over the Top"!

More than 20 years later, it was called the "Super Simp Song" or the "Boiling Sheep Song".

However, this is an era where playing the sentimental card is popular, and everyone is particularly drawn to it. The song "Too Much" can make you feel emotional or even lose yourself in it.

Wu Yuchen nodded and said, "Zhang Xinzhe's new song was only released in September, so it should have just been released in mainland China."

"I think it sounds pretty good, I'll buy you a copy!" With that, Jiang Qinqin pulled Wu Yuchen inside. When they came out of the music store, Wu Yuchen held the cassette tape in his hand, feeling uneasy. Was Jiang Qinqin encouraging him to go too far?
Just then, his pager went off. Wu Yuchen stopped thinking about it and figured it was some news from the movie channel. He didn't dare delay and quickly dialed the number.

After the call connected, Li Xiaoran's lively voice came from the other end:
"Chenchen, come here, come here, I have a surprise for you!"

Wu Yuchen covered the phone receiver and whispered:
"Um, sis, I have something to do today, so I won't be going."

"What's up? Are you home? Tell your parents, I just made some oxtail soup, could you take some to your mom?"

Wu Yuchen saw Jiang Qinqin looking at him and said, "Sister, I'm with my girlfriend."

"What! You have a girlfriend? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" You could tell from Li Xiaoran's voice on the other end of the phone that she was very surprised.

"Just paid. Okay, sis, I won't say any more, phone bills are expensive! Bye!"

After saying that, Wu Yuchen hung up the phone.

Jiang Qinqin, who was standing nearby, asked, "Do you have an older sister?"

"Haha, my cousin, isn't today my birthday?" Wu Yuchen laughed it off.

In order to achieve his goal today, Wu Yuchen refused the longevity noodles his parents were going to make for him tonight. At this point, he couldn't care less about Li Xiaoran!
Jiang Qinqin didn't pay any attention to what he said and continued to walk with Wu Yuchen, arm in arm.

As Li Xiaoran listened to the dial tone after the call was disconnected, her lips unconsciously pursed.

Although she had complained before that Wu Yuchen was like an old woman, she knew very well who was good to her. Last time, he came to help her with just one phone call. She wasn't some spoiled little princess who only knew how to take and never give back.

Today is Wu Yuchen's 18th birthday. Li Xiaoran not only cooked oxtail soup for him, but also bought him a gift as a coming-of-age ceremony that combines his university entrance and adulthood.

But this kid actually got a girlfriend? And he even hung up on her on the phone because of her!

This suddenly ignited a fire within Li Xiaoran, making her feel terrible. She threw the box in her hand onto the table.

The box had a crudely drawn image of a mobile phone with the Ericsson GH337 logo. It was a newly released phone this year, selling very well, and cost Li Xiaoran more than a month's salary.

Li Xiaoran looked dissatisfied, made several "pfft pfft" sounds into the microphone in her hand, and then slammed the phone down.

What's so great about her? She's probably an ugly freak!
Come or not, I'll return the phone this afternoon and then go buy a computer!
I heard computer games are more fun than video game consoles, so I won't invite that little brat to play with me anymore. She'll play by herself and make him so envious!

When a woman gets angry, she will undoubtedly have a strong urge to shop, since spending money is the best way to relieve stress.

Li Xiaoran had previously thought that a computer costing over ten thousand yuan was a bit expensive and had been hesitant to buy it. But now she didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed the still-unopened phone box, put on her clothes, and rushed out the door.

Just as Li Xiaoran was picking out a computer at the computer store, Wu Yuchen pulled Jiang Qinqin to the entrance of a movie theater.
