Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 154 The Water of the Movie

Shen Jiaojiao asked Fang Zhi to have dinner together in the evening, but Fang Zhi said that she was about to call her and she couldn't make it tonight because she was going to spend Christmas with her boyfriend. Then, Shen Jiaojiao called Lu Yanran, but she also said that she had plans and couldn't come. Shen Jiaojiao said "oh" and it was okay, and that she would stay at home and watch the anchors play in the monthly competition in the evening.

In the afternoon, Lu Shize and Shen Jiaojiao arrived at the VIP movie room. There was only room for two people in the private room, with fruits and snacks provided. It was a dimly lit space. Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the table and said, "This is..."

The man followed her gaze and saw that the capacity of the teapot should be 120cc, an "old purple clay Han Dynasty pot".

"For a movie theater, this is quite exquisite," Shen Jiaojiao picked it up. The material was delicate and comfortable. She looked around carefully and found that "there are engravings all over the body, the lid and the bottom."

"Well, in jargon, this is called covering all aspects."

"That's right... then, uncle, how much would this offer be?"

The man examined the lines, which were clear and delicate. "If it was handmade by an old craftsman in Jingdezhen, especially one of the four major craftsmen, it would probably be less than a thousand... If the base had the signature of a famous artist and the word 'treasure' on it, it would be more expensive."

Before the movie started, water was boiled and Shen Jiaojiao chose tea. This pot can naturally be lifted and rotated. The lid will not fall off at 90 degrees and will be completely stuck. It can also be lifted to 180 degrees without falling off. The sealing performance is excellent, the water flow is full and round, and the water is cut off neatly and cleanly.

"This pot is well made."

It was a pleasant experience to drink tea and watch a movie at the same time. After the movie ended, Shen Jiaojiao quickly held down the man's hand holding his coat and said, "Wait a minute..."

Although the man was puzzled, he sat down again. Shen Jiaojiao continued to look at the screen. "Fang Zhi's boyfriend is a photographer, and his family is also involved in film investment. He has many movies released every year. So, when I usually watch movies, I always pay attention to help her. Is her boyfriend involved here?"

In the cast list, Yan Yinli's name was indeed found in the photographer column. The man looked back at her, and Shen Jiaojiao picked up her bag, "His name is Yan Yinli, I just saw him, let's go."

"Yan Yinli?"

"Yeah, that's right... Hey, uncle, do you know him?"

"Maybe I've heard of it. It sounds familiar."

As the two walked out, Shen Jiaojiao naturally handed her bag to the man, "He is a bit famous. You may not know that he is also an outstanding alumnus of our school. He once returned to his alma mater to give a speech. That's how Fang Zhi got to know him, and then..."

"Well, if you want to get involved in film and television, you can also communicate with him."

Shen Jiaojiao blinked. "But, haven't I heard that the film industry is very complicated? I don't think I can handle it."

"It's just what I heard. You won't know how deep the water is until you try it yourself. However, it's okay if you want to practice first. Whenever you want to do it, just give me a plan. As long as it can be approved by the company's management team, I will invest."

"real?!"

Hearing this, the man looked at her. Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly moved closer. That's right, when had her uncle ever lied to her?

"That's great. Isn't it said that some people have to do this and that to attract sponsorship?

Uncle, I understand. If I were in the film industry, the saying that the entertainment industry is so complicated would definitely not apply.

Because... it's easy to get sponsorship when I'm with you, right?"

The man smiled and said, "If you want to make a movie, you can start with something related to college students. Aren't there many college student film festivals?

There is little competition, the reputation is good, and the subject matter tends to be based on award-winning works from previous years. Even if the actors and those behind the scenes are a little inexperienced, it doesn't have much of an impact.

It is very suitable for gilding the rich second generation of wealthy families.

For example, the Yan Yinli you just mentioned...has he won any newcomer award? Like, say, an Asian University Student Film Festival, or some international award?

He is a photographer, so it could be a graphic arts award, or a dynamic film award."

"Oh my god!" Shen Jiaojiao stopped and looked at her uncle in disbelief. You know, Yan Yinli's fame was rising rapidly at that time. He won four awards in one year. Two were from domestic college film festivals, and one was from an Asian college art festival in South Korea. Then there was a visual award for graphic design from a European country...

Uncle, you guessed it all!

Lu Shize glanced at Shen Jiaojiao and said, "This kind of thing is not hard to guess. If I had a child who was also a photographer, I would also do everything I could to help him get these.

With these, the road ahead will be easier."

"Uncle, hearing you say that, it really is gilded."

“The reason why people say that the film industry is so complex is that, after relying on one’s father, one starts to rely on one’s talent.

As for those who only have talent but no background, they can't even get into the first round. They need to continue to persevere and go through a long way before they can succeed...

But even so, it does not mean that Yan Yinli has no real talent and knowledge.

Perhaps it is because of his outstanding family background and personal abilities."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded and said, "I have seen several movies he has participated in. Judging from his filming time, I think he has made great progress in each movie... For tonight's movie, I have a hunch that he should have participated in some of the picture processing techniques. He has his own style."

Shen Jiaojiao praised Yan Yinli several times to her uncle, and then got into the car. The man bent down to fasten her seat belt and said, "Fang Zhi's father, if I remember correctly, also had some investment in the movie."

"Yes... Oh, by the way, there was a movie last time, which was invested by Fang Zhi's father. Yan Yinli was also in the crew of that movie, and his name was ranked second, with a very heavy proportion. But... it was a bad movie, with a poor plot, poor logic and emotional handling, and the actors' performances were also very out of place.

Her name is XXXX. Anyway, Fang Zhi and I watched it for a while and then ran away because we couldn’t bear to watch it any longer.”

Yan is a photographer, and he happened to have a girlfriend whose family invests in movies, and Fang Zhi is also favored... With all these pieces of information added together, the man frowned slightly. There were some things he couldn't say directly, because it might not be as bad as he thought. He just took the milk tea handed to him by the bodyguard and handed it to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Give me a call when I get home. I'll go back to the office first. I have a social event in the evening at the Ye family. Gu Sheng's father and I will all be there, so I may be back late. We can spend Christmas together later."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded. These people present were almost on par with her uncle in City A. "Tonight, let's have something light. You can eat when you need to outside. Don't leave any food in your stomach. You deliberately want to come back to accompany me.

Drinking alcohol without eating is bad for your health."

If the party was attended by people who were much less well-off than her uncle, Shen Jiaojiao wouldn't be too worried, because in such a banquet, her uncle would definitely be the guest of honor. First, people would be unlikely to urge him to drink, they would only toast him. Second, even if there were toasts, her uncle still had complete autonomy. He could drink if he wanted to, and he could refuse directly if he didn't want to.

But tonight, the top three in City A sat together. The two of them were old hands, from the older generation, and they liked to persuade people to drink. Moreover, my uncle was stuck between them, so it was difficult for him to refuse too much...

"Okay, don't worry about me. Go back early. Don't do homework today. Have a good rest."

After the two said goodbye, Shen Jiaojiao quickly sent a message to Special Assistant Chen, asking him to pay more attention, especially about the drinking issue. The other party replied that he would act according to the circumstances and ensure that his mobile phone communication was unobstructed and contact him in time if there was anything.

With Special Assistant Chen's assurance, Shen Jiaojiao felt a little relieved. Not long after, she clicked on her WeChat Moments. The Christmas atmosphere was quite strong. Looking at several photos of Christmas trees posted by different classmates, Shen Jiaojiao thought of something and glanced at her nails. "Aunt Xue, I want to get a Christmas-themed manicure. What do you think?"

"Miss, do you have anything else to do? If not, go ahead and do it."

Shen Jiaojiao had actually planned to go back and do a high-level math test. She had written a paper for a professional course in the morning, but didn't do math. She had thought that after watching the movie, she could go home alone, do a set of papers, and then watch the live broadcast in the evening.

"So, if I do my manicure while doing a math test, will others think I'm weird?"

But before Aunt Xue could answer, Shen Jiaojiao said to the driver in the front row, "Uncle Qi, let's go to Liying."

What kind of question is this? Why care what others think of you? Just do whatever you want. As long as it does not break the law or affect others, try to give yourself as much freedom as possible. This is the truth.

Handmade manicure took a long time. Even though Shen Jiaojiao took the tablet and searched for a complete set of advanced mathematics papers and finished them completely, the manicure was not yet finished.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the nail artist took off her mask and said, "Ms. Shen, Merry Christmas. Do you want to take a picture?"

Although she was just asking, she had actually already taken the props for the manicure shoot. She placed the pearl necklace and earrings on the white fluffy mat, and then took a small fluffy bag.

Shen Jiaojiao took it and said, "Let's take a picture...this one looks good today."

The Christmas-themed manicure, with delicate decorations and sufficient lighting atmosphere, looks beautiful even without any filters. Shen Jiaojiao took the phone she handed over and looked at the photos she helped take, feeling very satisfied.
