A great director who grew up happily

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Jinnian was still sleeping in his bed at home when he was woken up by a series of message alerts.

When he opened his phone, he found that his classmates in the class group were madly @ing him.

Qiao Yingzi: Director Chen, the movie is released today, why don’t you express your feelings? Your hand is so funny.

Huang Zhitao: Send out red envelopes, send out red envelopes.

Ji Yangyang: New Year, I don’t want red envelopes, just give me a Penguin Video membership, and I will support you, grin.

Others followed suit, manually adding 1 and @ing.

Chen Jinnian finished reading these historical messages with sleepy eyes, and then sent a voice message in a lazy voice, "You bunch of freeloaders, not only do you not help me, but you also want to ask me for gold coins."

As soon as it was sent, countless emoticons came out, sending him friendly blessings.

Qiao Yingzi: Haha, why are you pretending to be poor? You are a rich second generation.

Chen Jinnian no longer felt sleepy after reading her message. He immediately typed a line of words with his fingers flying, "I have officially changed my name to the negative generation. I have accumulated two million in debt and all the New Year's money I received over the years has been cleared out."

Lin Lei'er: How come you are in debt? And you owe so much money? Do you want everyone to donate money to you? Seriously.

Wang Yidi: Lei'er, you are too naive. You have funny and crying expressions, and you still want to donate to this tycoon. He was talking about the cost of the movie, which cost two million.

Lin Leier: Oh, oh, sweat.

……

Watching the constantly updated messages in the group, Chen Jinnian also lay on the bed and continued to bicker with everyone.

Mom Su Ying dragged her slightly plump body and walked in and said, "Son, hurry up and get up. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. We have to go to your grandma's house for lunch first, and then go to your grandma's house for dinner."

"If you ask me, just bring grandma and grandpa over, and have a meal together, so we don't have to run two races." Chen Jinnian said casually.

"What's wrong? They have loved you for so many years in vain. They made you run an extra trip and tired you out?" Mom's eyes narrowed and she said in a bad tone.

"No, no, no, how can that be?" He quickly sat up from the bed with an ingratiating smile on his face. "I'll get up right now and leave whenever you tell me to. I won't be late."

Su Ying saw him sit up and reached out to scratch his hair. "You don't go home every day, and you don't even know to cut your hair when it grows long. Go out and cut your hair later."

"Yeah, no problem."

Qiao Yingzi, Ji Yangyang and others who were arguing with Chen Jinnian in the group saw that the other party had been offline and did not reply, so they were too lazy to type anymore, and the group gradually returned to calm.

Qiao Yingzi put down her phone, got up from the bed, and walked into the living room to clean up the projector that Song Qian had just installed.

Song Qiang was cooking soup in the kitchen. When he saw his daughter come out, he asked, "Yingzi, are you planning to take a space science class at home? Mom supports you. Let's not go to the planetarium. It's a waste of time."

When Qiao Yingzi heard Song Qian's words, an expression of disgust appeared on her face.

It turned out that after the last planetarium visit, although Song Qian felt pleased and proud of Qiao Yingzi's excellent speech, she still disagreed with her continuing to be a volunteer.

After returning, Song Qian installed a projector at home to simulate the environment of a planetarium. This not only satisfied her daughter's idea, but also allowed her to practice her spoken English casually, killing two birds with one stone.

However, these were completely Song Qian's wishful thinking, and Qiao Yingzi was very resistant to it.

She thought that normal parents would not do such a thing, it was simply unreasonable, so she had not turned on the projector during this period.

"Mom, I'm not going to give a lecture, I'm going to watch a movie," said Qiao Yingzi.

"Watch a movie?" Song Qian came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She was very confused and said, "We are already in our third year of high school. We have to seize the time and not waste it on these things. After the college entrance examination, you can watch whatever you want."

"Mom, don't you know that the movie that Jinnian shot, directed and acted in will be released at 10 o'clock this morning. We classmates have already discussed it and we will support him as soon as possible." Qiao Yingzi explained.

"Hey, you're talking about this. I also saw it in the parents' group. But Jinnian is just a child. What can be filmed into it? It's just a waste of money and time. It's better for him to do a few more sets of papers and strive to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University." Song Qian said indifferently.

"Mom, how can you think like this? This is interest and ideal. Is the whole meaning just to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University?" Qiao Yingzi said hurriedly.

Song Qian even wants to interfere with other people's ideals, let alone hers. Qiao Yingzi is extremely desperate about this. Her mother's desire for control makes her feel suffocated.

You know, Qiao Yingzi has always wanted to apply to the Department of Astronomy at Nanjing University.

Seeing Qiao Yingzi's distraught expression, Song Qian felt a little soft-hearted. However, she thought it was just about watching a movie, so she said, "Then Mom will make an exception and let you finish watching this movie, but you still have to make good use of your time to study in the afternoon."

"Okay, Mom." Qiao Yingzi forced a smile and started to get busy, but her mood was far less happy than before.

As for Ji Yangyang's house on the first floor, it was a completely different scene.

Ji Shengli was sitting seriously on the solid wood sofa, studying the internal reference in his hand, when he saw Ji Yangyang coming out of the bedroom, sitting next to him and starting to install applications on the TV.

This made him feel a little surprised, because although his relationship with his son Ji Yangyang had eased a lot through his efforts and was not as cold as before, his son would not take the initiative to sit next to him.

So he asked, "Yang Yang, what are you doing?"

"Install apps and watch movies." Ji Yangyang replied coolly.

"What movie is it? Can I watch it?" Ji Shengli asked tentatively.

"Okay." Ji Yangyang answered simply, "This is a movie made during the New Year's Eve dinner. You and Mom should come and watch it. It will be open at 10 o'clock."

After saying this, he took out his mobile phone, scanned the recharge, and directly bought a one-year Penguin Video membership.

"A New Year's movie?" Ji Shengli didn't quite understand.

But at this time, Liu Jing brought over two glasses of milk, one for each of the father and son, and explained: "You didn't know since you weren't in the parents' group. It's Jinnian's movie, the one I mentioned last time. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh." Ji Shengli suddenly realized, "I remember now. I was so busy that I forgot. I said I would support you at that time."

"You knew this before?" Ji Yangyang was very surprised.

"I met him at your uncle's place." Liu Jing gently rubbed her son's shoulders. "Let's go, eat first, and then we can all watch it as a family."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the movie was officially released.

Everyone watched it with joy, but they were also prepared for it to be a bad movie.

Compared with online movies, low cost, debut works, new directors, new actors, non-romantic campus movies, etc., with this long list of debuff bonuses, it is hard to think that this is a good movie.

However, as the plot slowly unfolds, everyone's mood begins to turn upside down.

At this point, moviegoers only have one question: why does the trailer clearly suggest a comedy, but the more you watch it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

And I couldn’t see clearly anymore. My eyes started to blur, my face was wet, and my mouth tasted salty.

Hello, is this 1100? There is a scammer here.

Well, yes, some people make scam movies.
