Chapter 224

Although the Film Academy is on vacation, many out-of-town students have not left school. One is that the fare is expensive and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, thinking about going home for the New Year.

Second, they are reluctant to part with the prosperity of Yanjing City. Just take the recently popular "Lushan Love". If many out-of-town students return to their hometowns, they probably won't see this film for the whole summer vacation.

Another thing is that there are many opportunities in big cities. These students all think that if the Beijing Er Yingchang or other film studios come to the school to pick actors, other classmates are there, but they are not, that would be a huge loss.

Zhang Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Zhang Tielin thought so. As a result, they stayed in school until they were moldy and didn't wait for the role that fell from the sky, so they went into the city on Sunday to find their classmate Xie Yuan to play.

When the three strolled to Xidan Street, the flow of people was like weaving, and there was extra liveliness outside a certain storefront.

They saw two huge posters from far away. Xie Yuan was thinking: "Yo, is this a newly opened cinema? Let's go over and take a look."

Zhang Zhang Tielin: "Even if it's newly opened, I won't go. Haven't we watched those movies recently?"

Zhang Zhang Fengyi said: "It's nothing to take a look. Let's go, Yuan'er."

Zhang Zhang Fengyi and Xie Yuan walked away, and Zhang Zhang Tielin followed immediately. After getting closer, he finally saw clearly. It turned out that the posters were portraits of two girls. Hey, they are really beautiful!

Zhang Zhang Tielin, who didn't want to come originally, couldn't move his feet immediately.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Yuan asked him with a smile: "Zhang Tielin, which of these two girls do you think is more beautiful?"

Zhang Zhang Tielin really compared them seriously, and finally concluded: "I think the one on the left."

Zhang Zhang Fengyi: "The one on the left seems to be Gong Xue, the heroine of 'Herdsman'."

Xie Yuan: "Really? Zhang Fengyi, you can recognize this?"

Zhang Zhang Fengyi: "What's wrong with my good memory? But the one on the right has indeed never been seen, but she is also very beautiful."

Xie Yuan: "So what is this Oriental Dongfang Xintiandi selling? It doesn't look like a cinema."

"Go in and take a look and you'll know," Zhang Zhang Tielin said impatiently.

After going in, the three of them almost couldn't move their feet. The shop of less than 300 square meters was crowded with people, and there were always people checking out at the counter. It was so lively, comparable to grabbing pork during the New Year.

"So it's selling clothes. I remember now, the clothes on the poster seem to be worn by the heroine in 'Lushan Love', but they look better on them than the heroine," Xie Yuan commented. The two Zhangs also deeply agreed. Zhang Yu is more cute, and the feminine charm is far worse.

After going in, they were even more surprised. You can actually touch the clothes directly here, and you can choose for yourself. It's quite interesting. I've never seen it before!

Zhang Zhang Fengyi: "Hey, there are leather jackets for sale!"

Xie Yuan: "Are you sure you want to buy a leather jacket in such hot weather?"

"You can buy it and wear it after a while. Today is the first day of opening, and there is a discount," Zhang Zhang Fengyi had already understood, "Then you buy another one, and we can get 30% off!"

Zhang Zhang Tielin: "Hey, is that toad glasses? I've always wanted to buy one!"

These small items like toad glasses are on the shelf behind the counter. When Zhang Zhang Tielin noticed the counter, he nudged Zhang Zhang Fengyi: "Zhang Fengyi, look, does the person collecting money look like the writer Wei Ming?"

Because Zhang Zhang Fengyi was once the final candidate for the male lead of "Cow and Cow Two", he was most familiar with Wei Ming.

"It really looks a bit like him. Let's go over and ask."

Xie Yuan pulled him: "Would it be inappropriate to just go over like this? Why don't we buy something and then go over? Aren't you wanting to buy a jacket? I also want to fix a pair of pants."

"Are you all buying clothes?" Zhang Zhang Tielin thought to himself that if he went over empty-handed, wouldn't it show that he didn't know the way? It is rumored in the industry that although Wei Ming is young, he is strong-willed and interferes a lot in the casting of his works, so he also followed to pick a pair of jeans.

When buying clothes, the shopping guide Xu Yunyun came over to introduce and explain. Zhang Zhang Tielin looked at her a few more times. Although she was not as good as the two beauties on the poster outside, she had a quiet and gentle temperament.

"Little sister, is this shop of yours public?"

"No, we are self-employed," Xu Yunyun said.

"Then what if the quality of the clothes is not good? Who do we look for if there is a problem?" he asked again.

"Comrade, don't worry. If there is a problem, we will return or exchange it within seven days," Xu Yunyun was already a well-trained shopping guide, and basic answers were no problem.

Zhang Zhang Tielin asked again: "Listening to your accent, you are not a local."

Mei Mei Wenhua, who had been busy in the crowd, finally couldn't stand it anymore. Where did this lecher come from? Buying clothes is buying clothes, and he chatted with their shopping guide endlessly, and even asked about family background, right!

"This comrade, is there any problem with our pants?" He waved his hand and let Xu Yunyun go.

"Oh, no, no problem."

Mei Mei Wenhua smiled: "Then we can go to the counter to check out. One piece is 20% off, two pieces are 30% off. The discount is only for today."

It just so happened that Zhang Zhang Fengyi and Xie Yuan had also bought them. Men buy clothes quickly, unlike women who don't try on a few pieces and can't decide. But considering the high profit of women's clothing, Mei Mei Wenhua still tended to focus on developing women's clothing.

The three came to the counter. Wei Ming recognized them at a glance: "Yo, it's you guys."

Zhang Zhang Fengyi hurriedly said: "Wei Laoshi, why are you managing accounts here?"

Wei Ming smiled and took his leather jacket: "This is opened by my friend. Because there are too many customers on the opening day, it's a bit busy, so I came over to help. Do you want to check out together? I'll give you 30% off."

Zhang Zhang Fengyi nodded. So that's it.

"Okay, okay." Xie Yuan took the initiative to pay, and then calculated with them later. Because he is a Yanjing local and his parents are intellectuals, Xie Yuan is relatively well-off among his classmates.

Zhang Zhang Tielin pointed to the toad glasses behind: "I'll have another pair of sunglasses."

Wei Ming smiled: "Young man, you look very spirited wearing this. Don't you two want one? You will be compared by this classmate later."

Zhang Zhang Tielin hurriedly introduced himself: "Wei Laoshi, my name is Zhang Zhang Tielin. We are in the same class."

"Oh oh oh." Wei Ming: I'm not interested.

With Wei Ming's question, Zhang Zhang Fengyi and Xie Yuan were embarrassed to say no, and now the sun is so poisonous, sunglasses can also protect their eyes, so each of them also got a pair of sunglasses. Xie Yuan didn't have enough money, so Zhang Zhang Fengyi paid.

Seeing that Zhang Zhang Tielin hadn't made a move yet, Wei Ming said again: "You can also look at the leather belts and leather shoes in the shop. They are also genuine leather goods from the south, and the quality is very good. If you participate in auditions in the future, the director's first impression is very important. Put on leather shoes, tie a leather belt, and you look like a spirited young man."

Zhang Zhang Fengyi scratched his head: "Wei Laoshi, your mouth is too powerful. I'm moved, but we are just poor students..."

He was thinking of refusing, but Zhang Zhang Tielin was on his head: "Are there size 44 leather shoes?"

"Yes, I have whatever size you have." Wei Ming took a pair of the most expensive ones directly.

Seeing Zhang Zhang Tielin buy leather shoes, Zhang Zhang Fengyi and Xie Yuan looked at each other. Why don't we buy a cheap leather belt?

For these three super VIP customers with a total consumption of over 250 yuan, Wei Ming wiped out a zero on the basis of 30% off, and enthusiastically sent them out, welcoming them to come and play often in the future.

Walking on the crowded Xidan Street, Zhang Zhang Tielin proudly put on his toad glasses, feeling like a star, but Zhang Zhang Fengyi felt a burst of regret.

"Impulsive. The living expenses for the next month are all spent. What should I do!"

Xie Yuan had a good mentality: "It's okay. If you can't eat, go begging. There are still good families in Yanjing City."

Zhang Zhang Fengyi: "We are both from out of town. If we beg, we will go to your house."

Xie Yuan laughed: "Okay, but let's calculate the account first. I paid for a lot of money today. Eh, Zhang Tielin, why are you running? You are amazing wearing leather shoes!"

Wei Ming looked at the time. It was time for lunch. He greeted Mei Mei Wenhua to come over and watch the counter, and he went to get them food.

After arranging lunch, he went to Zhu Lin's unit. Today, because Sister Lin changed shifts, she worked in the morning and rested in the afternoon. It just so happened that the two could be intimate.

And just as he left, a middle-aged man led a 13- or 14-year-old girl in.

The little girl said excitedly: "I was right, this is how clothes are sold here!"

"But Qiao Shanshan, there don't seem to be clothes suitable for your age here."

Jiang Shan was dissatisfied: "Why not? I think this one is very suitable. Just buy the smallest size."

Jiang Jiang Huaiyan smiled, unmoved. He felt that the clothes here were all for adults, and his daughter should buy children's clothes.

So when the shopping guide Xiao Hong asked what the two customers needed.

Jiang Jiang Huaiyan looked at her and asked: "Don't you have clothes for children your age here?"

Xiao Hong was only 14 years old, about the same age and height as Jiang Shan.

This really stumped Wei Hong. It seems there really isn't any. After coming to Beijing, her brother bought her clothes, but that was bought in the children's clothing section of the department store, and the overalls were very childish.

Jiang Jiang Huaiyan said to Jiang Shan: "Dad can't help it either. Wait until you grow up in two years and buy it again."

Although he didn't buy clothes, Jiang Jiang Huaiyan had other things.

He asked Wei Hong: "Who is the person in charge here? I have something to ask him."

Xiao Hong saw that this person spoke like an official, and immediately took him to Mei Mei Wenhua.

"What's the matter with this comrade?"

Jiang Jiang Huaiyan: "I want to ask about the two posters outside. I know the one on the left is Gong Xue. May I ask how to address the one on the right."

Mei Mei Wenhua was a bit vigilant. You are a buyer of clothes, why do you care about the poster model?

"May I ask which unit you are from?" Xiao Mei asked.

Jiang Jiang Huaiyan smiled: "Don't misunderstand. I am from the Beijing Er Yingchang. Recently, a movie in the Beijing Er Yingchang is looking for a heroine. I think that female comrade is very close to our requirements in image, so I want to ask where she is an actress. If there is time, she can come to the Beijing Er Yingchang for a try."

"Oh, it turns out to be a comrade from the Beijing Er Yingchang. Disrespect, disrespect," Mei Mei Wenhua asked, "Then do you know Wei Ming?"

"Of course I know him. Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Jiang Huaiyan, the director of the Literature Department of the Beijing Er Yingchang. The scripts he wrote for the Beijing Er Yingchang finally have to pass through my hands."

Jiang Shan nodded. She also remembered the handsome brother who asked her to discuss "Black Cat Detective". Speaking of which, the third issue of "Black Cat Detective" is about to come out. I'm looking forward to it!

Since it is someone Brother Ming knows, Mei Mei Wenhua said: "The sister on the poster was found by Wei Ming. I will tell him about this later and let him contact Director Jiang. What do you think?"

"Okay."

After Jiang Jiang Huaiyan left, Mei Mei Wenhua hurriedly wrote this matter down.

At this time, Wei Ming had already picked up Sister Lin, ate a meal, and asked her: "Oriental Dongfang Xintiandi officially opened today. Do you want to go and see?"

Zhu Lin asked with a smile: "Is it because there are too many customers, and you are tricking me into being a waiter."

Wei Ming was also happy: "Then do you want to go~"

"Go."

However, after getting on his motorcycle, Wei Ming took her directly back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. "If you go, it's estimated that you will help with trouble. People see the model beauty from the poster walking out of the painting, and they all look at you. Who will look at the clothes."

Zhu Lin patted Wei Ming's back lightly. Slick tongue.

Returning to Wei Ming's home after many days, the feeling has changed a lot. Some furniture has been added, all of which were bought by Wei Ming casually. Whether it is an antique or not, it has extreme artistic beauty.

And because there are two more little girls in the family, it is not as empty as before, and there is a lot of life atmosphere.

Zhu Lin was still a bit worried: "When will the sisters come back?"

"There are indeed many customers today. It is estimated that they will be busy until late at night."

"That's quite hard." Zhu Lin felt a bit apologetic. She occupied Wei Ming's time while being so busy.

Wei Ming turned on the recorder and played tango accompaniment.

"They are not busy, how can we have a chance."

This dance was very indecent. Wei Ming's hands always drilled into his dance partner's clothes, and soon the two became disheveled.

Zhu Lin didn't dare to be in the living room. The two entangled and jumped into the master bedroom, closed the door, and then started.

!

They spent a very fulfilling afternoon. Because Wei Ming said that the two sisters would definitely not come back, Zhu Lin cooked a dinner again and didn't go out to eat.

Although the food in the restaurant outside is indeed delicious, she has heard a famous saying: to capture a man's heart, you must first capture this man's stomach. She hopes that Ma Xiaowei will get used to the taste of her cooking.

After eating, it was almost dark. Zhu Lin was worried about being blocked by the two sisters and urged Wei Ming to send her home.

When she got home, she didn't expect that her big sister was also there. She sat between her parents and asked herself: "Linlin, what is your relationship with that clothing store in Xidan called Oriental Dongfang Xintiandi?"

"What relationship?"

Big sister said: "My brother-in-law and I went shopping in Xidan this afternoon, and then we saw two posters hanging outside a shop from far away, one of which was you."

"What about the other one?" Zhu Lin asked hurriedly. She thought they were both her.

"Why do you care who the other one is? Explain your problem first!" Mother said, "What is your relationship with that shop?"

"Oh, opened by a friend, asked me to help be a poster model, just took a few photos," Zhu Lin said truthfully, and then changed the subject, "Then did you buy it, sister?"

Big sister: "What should I buy at my age? They are all clothes for little girls."

"Sister, you are not old at all. It's just right. People gave me a few sets of clothes to thank me. Come and try to see if there is anything you like."

"Ah, really?"

Big sister immediately defected to Zhu Lin's camp and went to try on clothes with her sister happily, leaving only the worried parents.

The class in the research institute is so good, why do you have to be an actor, and now you are a model. Fortunately, it is a model wearing clothes. Alas.

These two uncles and aunts are worthy of being highly educated, and they even know that there are models who don't wear clothes.

And in Zhu Lin's room, she was still asking her big sister who the other model was.

"Don't know," sister gestured with clothes.

"Then is she beautiful?" Zhu Lin asked.

"Quite beautiful, no less than you," sister was quite objective.

Zhu Lin already had a guess in her heart, but she still had to go to the scene to confirm it. It's too late now, wait until tomorrow.

At this time, Wei Ming had already ridden his motorcycle to the scene. There were not many customers at this time. The shopping guides had already let them get off work. Only Manager Mei and Xu Yunyun Xiao Hong were left. Wei Ming said he would come to pick them up at night.

When he came in, Xu Yunyun was still working, successfully letting a female intellectual wearing glasses take one piece, and Xiao Hong was responsible for helping her check out.

Mei Mei Wenhua pulled Wei Ming aside: "Brother Ming, guess how much our turnover is today!"

Wei Ming: "How can it be?"

He didn't calculate carefully, but when he left at noon, there were almost 3,000. The Beijing Film Academy trio alone contributed nearly one-tenth.

Mei Mei Wenhua said excitedly: "As of now, it's 7,700 yuan! Oh my mother, I never dreamed that it could sell so explosively. If it weren't for the limitations of the venue and the number of employees, I think daily sales breaking 10,000 is not a dream!"

Many customers didn't come in because there were too many people and it was too crowded inside, worrying that their money would be stolen. This situation is not a minority.

With a turnover of more than 7,000 yuan, hundreds of single items were sold. No wonder Wei Ming looked at the shop and it was quite empty.

The initial investment of Xiao Mei and Seeing Biaozi was not that much. Most of these clothes were just advance payments, and they were owed.

"Have to hurry up and replenish goods." Wei Ming said.

"Well, I have a lot of confidence now. I can let them make clothes openly. Oh, there is one more thing." Finally, Mei Mei Wenhua told about Jiang Jiang Huaiyan.

"Director Jiang is my old friend." Wei Ming frowned and pondered, but what movie was it?

The Beijing Er Yingchang has a quota of more than ten movies every year, most of which are unknown films in later generations. The performance of the Beijing Er Yingchang in this period is not as good as the Shanghai Er Yingchang, which boldly uses new directors.

As for the few Beijing Er Yingchang films he is familiar with in this period, such as "Rickshaw Boy" and "Teahouse", the heroine is definitely not suitable for Zhu Lin.

Anyway, this is a good opportunity for Sister Lin. Even if it is just to practice, it is worth it. She is not an actress with high talent, but her performance in her comfort zone is quite good.

And her comfort zone is intellectual women, such as "Far from the Crowd" and "Far from the War Years". What she fights for is a true-to-life performance. Did Director Jiang see this characteristic of her through the poster?

When it was time to close, Xiao Mei said: "Brother Ming, why don't you send me home first."

He now has a huge sum of several thousand yuan, which fills his leather bag. If he meets a robber in the middle of the night, he will be finished.

Wei Ming nodded: "Okay, Xiao Hong, Xu Yunyun, get on the car."

Seeing that the two sisters got on Wei Ming's car, Mei Mei Wenhua smiled: "Why don't I help you carry one? It's not safe for you to be like that."

Wei Ming: "This is the safest. Your little motorcycle is too fragile."

"This is not mine, this is Seeing Biaozi's. I will buy one stronger than yours later," Xiao Mei made up his mind.

After sending Mei Mei Wenhua home, the three siblings returned to the Overseas Chinese Apartment, and then Xiao Hong found a problem.

"Brother, did you start a fire at home?"

"Oh, I cooked dinner myself and dealt with it."

Xu Yunyun hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry. We won't have to work the night shift in the future. We will cook dinner for you."

Xiao Hong also nodded solemnly. How can the pillar of the family earn money to support the family while cooking!

Wei Ming chuckled: "I thank you."

Early the next morning, after Wei Ming finished the breakfast made by his sister, the three of them went to work separately.

When Wei Ming arrived at the School Journal Office, he heard Yang Hao say: "Ma Xiaowei, your shop is too popular. My mother went shopping yesterday and even spelled a silk scarf with old sisters!"

Wei Ming laughed: "Thank you, Auntie, for your support."

Yang Hao: "Your business model is really amazing. It is estimated that those newspapers in Yanjing will start reporting soon."

Wei Ming estimated the same. He was actually deliberately low-key, otherwise, he would have invited Zhu Wei of "China Youth Daily" long ago. This story of unemployed youth starting their own businesses is definitely an inspirational model needed at present, a pioneer of reform and opening up.

But if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. While bringing popularity, there will definitely be great controversy and discussion.

But this is unavoidable. I can only hope that the controversy will come later, giving Oriental Dongfang Xintiandi some time to develop.

Today, while slacking off in class, Wei Ming officially started the creation of "The Righteous Path in the World is Vicissitudes". Beside the manuscript paper were several creation notes and outlines. However, the speed was still relatively slow at the beginning. The unit is really not a good place to write books. He wants to go to the library tomorrow.

As for the afternoon, he wants to take Sister Lin to the Beijing Er Yingchang.

At noon, Wei Ming appeared in Zhu Lin's unit.

Zhu Lin had already ridden her bicycle and was ready to go to Xidan. She was stunned when she saw Wei Ming appear.

"Why are you here again?"

"This is what you said, you don't welcome me."

"Welcome, but I want to go shopping in your shop today," Zhu Lin said directly, looking at whether he would feel guilty and not take her.

Wei Ming: "Okay, but it will be another day. We have more important things today, so you go back to the unit and ask for half a day off first."

Sure enough, he felt guilty and refused to take her. However, seeing Wei Ming speak seriously, Zhu Lin went back and asked for leave. You better really have something to do. If you just tricked me home to make love, you are dead.

Afterwards, Wei Ming first took her to a restaurant to eat.

"Is this the important thing you said!"

Wei Ming: "Look, you are in a hurry again. Nothing can delay eating. Eat first."

After eating, Wei Ming rode his motorcycle to the Beijing Er Yingchang. Zhu Lin under the helmet also saw the sign of the Beijing Er Yingchang.

"Why did you come here?"

"Looking for someone." Wei Ming greeted the gatekeeper and brought her in. He came here often.

Afterwards, Wei Ming took Zhu Lin to find Jiang Jiang Huaiyan and told her the story on the way.

"Because of that poster, Director Jiang feels that you might be suitable for the heroine of a movie in the Beijing Er Yingchang, so let you try it. It may not be successful. After all, the determination of a heroine requires many choices."

Zhu Lin nodded, not particularly nervous. She has always been very relaxed.

"Thank you, Ma Xiaowei," she gently pinched her lover's palm~
