Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Ning Yao really doesn't like economics and has no talent in this area.

So she has been studying very hard in the past few months.

Ning Yao's interests mainly lie in literature and art, and she has a very strong literary and artistic perception.

At that time, Ning Hezhong sent Ning Yao to UCLA to study economics mainly because he could find a recommendation.

In addition, Ning Hezhong himself majored in economics, so he subconsciously wanted to guide his daughter down this path.

But Ning Yao had no interest in economics. She loved reading books, including world classics, since she was a child.

So when Ning Yao heard that Director Sergio was willing to recommend her to study film, she was immediately interested.

And that wasn't the end. Sergio continued, "Ning, as a film major, learning is one thing, and practice is another. In comparison, practice is more important. I'm still short of an assistant for the filming of 'Once Upon a Time in America.' You can come and help me if you're willing!"

Ning Yao's heart was even more moved. Her fingers on the coffee cup trembled slightly. She asked in disbelief, "Can I?"

Sergio said affirmatively: "Of course, you have understood the essence of this movie through the script just now, and suggested the shooting techniques. This is your talent."

"Talent is something you can't change. It's a gift from God when you're born, and it can't even be compensated for through learning. You should carefully consider my advice. I'm sincere, and I'm not saying this just because of Chen's investment."

Hearing this, Ning Yao looked at Chen Feng expectantly, hoping to get his advice.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you like it, I suggest you accept Director Sergio's advice. The most important thing in life is to do what you like. I support you in any decision you make."

At this time, Chen Feng had already made a decision, which was - vote!

He planned to use the loss to support Ning Yao's career, and he could clearly see that Ning Yao really liked this aspect.

When I talked to her about economics before, although she could understand it, she did not have the enthusiasm that shines in her eyes and the spirit to talk eloquently that she has now.

It is very important for people to find a career they love.

He is making money now and has already crossed the stage of making a living, so why not support Ning Yao in doing what he likes?

Once you are on the stage, there is no reason to retreat.

Now that he has come to UCLA, is it necessary to let Ning Yao go back to Ninghai University to be a teacher?

There is no turning back for people. Once you make some decisions, you can only move forward.

Now is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ning Yao. Being recommended to study at the famous TFT is already an opportunity, and being able to join the crew of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and serve as an assistant to the great director Sergio is an extraordinary qualification.

A big and hard stepping stone is enough for Ning Yao to break open the door to Hollywood!

So Chen Feng said, "I'm also very optimistic about this script. It's destined to be a great work, and I think I can't miss it. Director Sergio, I'm willing to invest 10 million US dollars and can sign a letter of intent with you. Of course, the funds will need to be allocated in batches according to the progress of filming."

Old man Sergio was very happy. He shook Chen Feng's hand tightly and said excitedly, "No problem. Money is only one aspect, not the most important aspect. The most important thing today is meeting you and Ning. You have allowed me to make two close friends. You have made me feel warm."

Jennifer was also very happy. She hugged Ning Yao's arm and laughed lively. It was she who found Chen Feng, the big investor!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the cafe was warm and cheerful.

Chen Feng felt extremely relieved when he saw Ning Yao's longing eyes.

This is a decision that will result in a huge loss of money, but for Ning Yao's dream, he is willing to give it a try.

Having decided to invest, Chen Feng's mind began to work rapidly, thinking about how to make the film as profitable as possible, or at least find a way to reduce the losses.

His eyes fell on Jennifer, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: This girl has an outstanding image. If she can endorse his products, maybe it can make up for some of the losses from investing in movies.

She wasn't yet a huge star, so her price shouldn't be too high. After all, I was in her first film, so I had some kind of connection with her. If I could hire her for commercials at a low price for a long time, I might be able to make up for the loss.

So Chen Feng asked Jennifer indirectly: "Jennifer, have you accepted any advertising endorsements now?" He tried to find out her offer.

Jennifer shrugged and said casually, "I haven't had any business activities yet, and no one has approached me yet because I'm too young. The last time I went to the Dodgers' cocktail party, someone else took me there. I just wanted to have a few drinks."

Chen Feng looked confused and asked doubtfully, "For drinking?"

Jennifer smiled sweetly and responded, "Yeah, there was a shitty Minimum Drinking Age Act this year. At my age, it's going to be troublesome if I want to drink in the future!"

Chen Feng asked in surprise, "You're not even old enough to drink?"

At this time, Sergio laughed and said, "Chen, you don't know that Jennifer is only 14 years old this year and is still a child star!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng and Ning Yao's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with shock.

Chen Feng said in disbelief: "Fourteen years old? Are you kidding? Looking at the way she's dressed and done up, she must be at least seventeen or eighteen!" He really couldn't tell at all!

The age of fourteen was really beyond his expectations.

The key point is that a girl who is only fourteen years old actually dared to take the initiative to talk to him about investment at a cocktail party. Her precocity is really amazing.

Think about it, in China, most fourteen-year-old girls are still in a naive and innocent stage, giving people the impression of being children who have not yet grown up.

Look at Jennifer Connelly in front of you. At the age of fourteen, she exudes a mature youthful girl style and has long lost the childish look of a child.

Jennifer acted amused by Chen Feng and Ning Yao's shock. She smiled and said, "I hate it most when people treat me like a child, so I always dress myself to be mature. This is normal in Hollywood!"

Chen Feng scratched his head. If she was fourteen years old, it might be too early to ask her to shoot a commercial.

He doesn't know much about the laws regarding minors in the United States, but he presumably believes that there are many protections for minors. They are not even allowed to drink alcohol, let alone endorse his Phnom Penh wine.

It seems that this idea can only be put on hold for the time being and discussed after she comes of age.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng's hope of making up for the losses through Jennifer's endorsement was shattered. He sighed helplessly. It seems that it is necessary to go to Silicon Valley!
