Chapter 56: Angry

After saying goodbye to Old Lady Ruan, walking on the way back, Wu Yuchen was still reviewing what happened this time.

From the bottom of his heart, what he wanted to shoot most was *Donkey Gets Water*. Whether it was the excitement of the story or the artistic connotation and depth, *Donkey Gets Water* exceeded the other two, and it was also a film he personally liked very much. But the current situation was like this; there were risks in shooting it, and he couldn't force it.

If it was from the perspective of novelty, it was naturally *Coherence*, and the cost was the smallest, saving time and effort. The original version finished shooting in 5 days, and he could do it in 10 days. And such new things could be taken to Europe and America to show off.

Wu Yuchen calculated the time. There were several fantasy film festivals next year that he could participate in in the second half of the year, and the time was very ample. It was just over 100,000 yuan. If he saved enough, he would shoot it himself. This film also didn't have censorship problems.

As for *The Two of Us*, it was quite standard and absolutely a warm and good film, but the story was much weaker than the other two, and it relied heavily on the performance of the actors.

One advantage was that if he shot *The Two of Us*, he could use this cold winter season directly. He didn't have to wait until next spring to warm up like *Donkey Gets Water* before starting to shoot.

Then Wu Yuchen shook his head. It was not certain whether he could be selected.

However, he had already done everything he could this time. As for the result, this was not something he could control; he could only say he did his best and left the rest to fate.

To put it bluntly, he was still short of money. Although Tu Honggang sent a sum of 20,000 yuan, this money was definitely not enough to shoot a feature film. Now Wu Yuchen hoped to receive news from Berlin soon.

The next day, Saturday.

Wu Yuchen got up early to tidy up, even specially sprayed some mousse on his hair, and finally put on his woolen coat, put on a scarf, and went out amidst the teasing of his roommates.

Now that he had finally finished with the *Dance of Martial Arts* documentary, his weekend time was also free, and he could have a good date with Jiang Qinqin.

And today was also a special day, his 18th birthday.

On this day of becoming an adult, he hoped to take this opportunity to capture Jiang Qinqin in one fell swoop!

Beijing was already in December. Let alone duck boats, it was cold even just walking in the park.

There weren't so many entertainment means in this day and age, and Wu Yuchen didn't want to take Jiang Qinqin to messy places, so he took her to the mall.

Jiang Qinqin was very happy. After all, Wu Yuchen had been busy before. This was the first time the two of them went to the mall. She didn't get tired of holding hands and strolling so openly. She could chat happily about anything she saw. Couples wouldn't find it boring to do anything together.

"How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake?

It's me who gave you too much freedom!"

When passing by the entrance of a video store, hearing the clear and bright singing coming from inside, Jiang Qinqin stopped immediately, her face pleasantly surprised:

"Eh, did Jeff Chang release a new song?"

Ever since "Love Like the Tide" spread to the mainland and exploded in popularity two years ago, Jeff Chang had also become the Prince of Love Songs, and his voice was particularly recognizable. Jiang Qinqin naturally recognized it immediately.

Wu Yuchen was too familiar with this song, "Overfire"!

It was called a super "lick-dog" song or "Boiling Sheep" song 20 years later.

However, it was an era of playing deep affection, and everyone was particularly into this set. This song "Overfire" could make you self-moved or self-intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself.

Wu Yuchen nodded and said: "Jeff Chang's new song, released in September, should have just spread to the mainland."

"I think it's quite good. I'll buy you a tape!" Saying that, Jiang Qinqin pulled Wu Yuchen in.

After coming out of the video store, Wu Yuchen held the tape in his hand, feeling strange in his heart. Was Jiang Qinqin encouraging him to be "overfire"?

At this time, his pager rang. Wu Yuchen stopped thinking blindly, fearing that there might be news from the movie channel, so he didn't dare to delay and found a phone to dial quickly.

After the call was connected, Li Xiaoran's lively voice came from the opposite side:

"Chenchen, come over, come over, I have a surprise for you!"

Wu Yuchen covered the microphone and whispered:

"Uh, sister, I have something to do today, so I won't go."

"What's the matter? Are you at home? Tell your parents, I just happened to boil oxtail soup, you can bring some to your mom~"

Wu Yuchen saw Jiang Qinqin looking at himself next to him: "Sister, I am with my girlfriend."

"What! You have a girlfriend? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" It could be heard that Li Xiaoran was very surprised on the other side of the phone.

"Just started. Okay, sister, I won't say more, the phone bill is expensive! Bye!"

After saying this, Wu Yuchen hung up the phone.

Jiang Qinqin next to him asked: "Do you have a sister?"

"Haha, my cousin, isn't it my birthday today!" Wu Yuchen laughed it off.

In order to achieve his goal today, Wu Yuchen had refused the longevity noodles from his parents at home tonight. At this time, how could he care about Li Xiaoran!

Jiang Qinqin didn't care upon hearing this and continued to hold Wu Yuchen's arm and stroll with him.

Li Xiaoran listened to the "beep-beep-beep" sound after the phone was hung up, and her mouth couldn't help but pout.

Although she complained before that Wu Yuchen was like a nosy old woman, she knew clearly who was good to her. Last time, he came to help with just one phone call. She wasn't a willful little princess who only knew how to take and not give back.

Today was Wu Yuchen's 18th birthday. Li Xiaoran not only boiled oxtail soup but also specially bought him a gift as an adult gift for entering university and becoming an adult.

But this little brat actually had a girlfriend? And he hung up her phone directly for his girlfriend!

This immediately made Li Xiaoran feel a fire rise from nowhere. She was in a bad mood and threw the box in her hand onto the table.

On the box was a rough mobile phone pattern, written with Ericsson GH337. It was a new mobile phone launched this year, which sold very well. It cost Li Xiaoran more than a month's salary.

Li Xiaoran had a dissatisfied expression, made several "puchi-puchi" sounds at the receiver in her hand, and then slammed the phone.

What's so great about it? It must be an ugly monster!

Come or not, she would go to return the phone in the afternoon, and then she would go to buy a computer!

She heard that computer games were more fun than game consoles. She wouldn't call that little brat to play together in the future. She would play by herself and make him envious to death!

Once a woman got angry, there was no doubt that her desire to shop would explode. After all, spending money was the best way to relieve stress.

Li Xiaoran felt before that a computer costing over 10,000 was a bit expensive and had been hesitating not to buy it. But now she didn't hesitate at all. She picked up the mobile phone box that hadn't been unpacked, put on her clothes, and rushed out.

Just as Li Xiaoran was picking out a computer at the computer store, Wu Yuchen pulled Jiang Qinqin to the entrance of a cinema. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
