Chapter 66: Watching a Movie
Gu Qing didn't stay at home for long. After the third day of the Lunar New Year, she set off to return to the capital.
The main problem was that his parents in the countryside had been promoting him so highly, saying he was successful and handsome, that countless women were constantly knocking on his door, which annoyed Gu Qing to no end.
After the third day of the Lunar New Year, we set off on the fifth day.
Before he left, he also mentioned buying a house and starting a business in the city.
The first payment was 300,000 yuan, and the two elders also had some savings, so they weren't short of money.
The two elders are only in their forties, which is the prime of their lives. Even if he loses money making movies, the family can still support him, right?
I came with a bag, but I left carrying a whole bunch of local specialties, though they were mailed there.
Driving isn't very safe these days, and given the long distance, Gu Qing flew back, and naturally, she flew there too.
Sigh, it's not so easy to show off your wealth these days. His family isn't poor, so they don't need to buy big-ticket items.
Back in his rented room, he first tidied up a bit before visiting some of his elders to offer New Year's greetings.
Han Sanping, Chen Ze, and some elders from the Beijing Film Academy.
Of course, many people also sent him New Year's greetings, including some production company owners, agents, and of course, many more actors and artists. They didn't necessarily want to work with him, but at least it would be good to get some recognition.
Fortunately, his rented room is quite spacious, otherwise there would be almost no room to put it.
A few days after the Spring Festival, Jing Tian returned to Beijing. She will be very busy this year and has even made plans to suspend her studies at the Beijing Film Academy.
After all, the purpose of entering the Beijing Film Academy is to act, and since you can act now, why worry about a graduation certificate?
"Sweetie, your thinking is wrong. This school is like a pass. Although it can't do anything for you, it can protect you from being taken advantage of."
Seeing Jing Tian's excitement, Gu Qing offered some words of advice.
One's background has always been a major issue; those with formal training look down on those who come from outside the industry, and those within the industry look down on those outside.
Fan Binbin has been in the entertainment industry for so long, yet his interpersonal relationships are still so poor. Although he has a strong personality, it is also because he is not on the same wavelength as some people.
If she were affiliated with one of the top three art schools, she would naturally have many junior students who would come to her for guidance.
That's what you call having a legitimate reason for your actions; otherwise, when things went wrong later, there wouldn't have been no one willing to help.
Even someone as brilliant as Feng Xiaogang isn't truly respected because he rose to fame by praising others.
Gu Qing is in the same boat right now, still outside the circle, but he doesn't intend to get in.
"Brother, I'll listen to you."
Jing Tian didn't care at the moment. She was just saying it casually. It was mainly because she was young and didn't want to tire herself out too much.
"It's easy to take leave from Beijing Film Academy, and you're in filmmaking anyway, so you just need to make it to the final exams."
"Your homeroom teacher is Ms. Yao Xiaoyue, right? I'm quite familiar with her."
Gu Qing nodded. At this moment, he also thought of another actress born in 85.
She is quite similar to Jing Tian; both of them had access to excellent resources and outstanding looks upon entering the school.
However, unlike the latter, he wasn't as lucky and didn't have such a high degree of compatibility with the role. After his debut, he only accumulated haters.
"Brother, let's go see a movie."
Jing Tian didn't want to waste her precious time on this. Although they could chat by phone during the Spring Festival, they couldn't video chat.
The relationship between the two has taken a step further. She had already talked to her family about it during the Chinese New Year. She didn't object to it, but she didn't want her to become a grandmother too early.
These words made her quite embarrassed and annoyed, as she hadn't agreed yet.
"Let's go check out the movies in the Spring Festival lineup; it's Stephen Chow's new film."
Gu Qing smiled and then went out with Jing Tian.
Jing Tian was the first woman to ride in the brand new car she had just picked up.
"Brother, can you only blame me from now on?"
"What, do you think of me as just a driver?"
"Hehe, you're only giving me rides, aren't you happy about that?"
Jing Tian forced herself to speak, feeling her heart race as if it were about to leap into her throat.
Gu Qing was taken aback; she hadn't expected this girl to be so direct.
Now that the New Year has passed, I've grown another year older and become much bolder.
Gu Qing smiled but didn't reply. Instead, she turned slightly and moved closer to Jing Tian.
This was the first time he had been so close to Jing Tian, looking her up and down, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Her rosy lips and round, large eyes revealed a clear and bright gaze.
Her face, perfectly oval-shaped, was full of collagen, fair and rosy, and you could even smell a faint fragrance if you got close.
When Jing Tian saw Gu Qing approaching, she panicked. Meeting his undisguised scrutinizing gaze, she simply closed her eyes, revealing only her trembling eyelashes.

Gu Qing had no lewd intentions at all; he was just trying to help Jing Tian out of the predicament when he saw that she didn't intend to fasten her seatbelt for a long time.
He's a gentleman and would never take advantage of someone in distress!
Jing Tian waited for a long time but there was no response. She just stared at Gu Qing with wide eyes.
Seeing those bewildered eyes, Gu Qing couldn't help but tease them.
"What are you doing? We're leaving."
"I'm just buckling your seatbelt, you won't think anything of it."
"you!"
Jing Tian's expression changed instantly, and her face flushed red with embarrassment; she was truly annoyed.
He immediately raised his hand and pinched Gu Qing's arm hard.
"No, no, no, we're driving, we need to be careful about what we do."
Gu Qing had no interest in joking around with Jing Tian; this kind of reckless driving would surely bring tears to one's eyes.
Jing Tian stood with her arms crossed, also extremely annoyed, and started arguing with Gu Qing.
Gu Qing was happy to play around with her. Spending a lot of time with an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl made him look much younger.
The two drove to the cinema and bought two tickets for "CJ7".
This film marked Stephen Chow's last appearance on screen.
And unlike the roles she has played in the past, this time she appears more ordinary and relatable.
Although the film is also filled with laughter, the main character has become Xu Jiao, who plays the child in the movie.
"Brother Qing, do you think Zhou Tie (Stephen Chow) can still be saved?"
Inside the theater, Jing Tian held a bucket of popcorn, watching the movie in front of her, her eyes filled with tears.
"Sure, he was saved by Qi Zai in the end, and then Qi Zai died."
Gu Qing smiled and patted Jing Tian's head.
"Huh? Seven's dead?"
Jing Tian blinked her big eyes, her face filled with disbelief. She was quite happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, but then she felt a pang of sadness and tears streamed down her face.
"It's okay, there are still a bunch of Sevens coming up."
Seeing this, Gu Qing decided not to tease the other person anymore and instead gave them a spoiler.
Inside the theater, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the relatively happy ending, though they were still grumbling under their breath.
This sentimental movie comes out right after the Spring Festival, it's infuriating.
This movie can be considered a film that Stephen Chow made for his father, as a way to make up for the fatherly love he lacked since childhood. Later, he also bought family property for his father and paid off his debts.
However, he was raised by his mother, and his parents divorced when he was very young.
This corresponds to the idea that what you can't have is always stirring up desire.
