Chapter 803 New Year’s Eve (Part 2)

New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, is the most lively day for thousands of families in China, but it is also the most deserted day on the streets. After entering the city from the airport, all the private stores on both sides of the road were closed. Shanghai, which is extremely lively on weekdays, became extremely deserted on New Year's Eve. ‘Hu Piao’ from all over the country have returned to their hometowns during the Spring Festival, or those younger generations who want to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to travel overseas have also gone out...

Not only has Shanghai become a "dead city", but the same "dead city" has also appeared on the streets of Yanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other first-tier cities in China. But, on the contrary, 'home' has become extremely lively. The laughter of family reunions and the sound of playing mahjong are present in thousands of families.

How did your child do in the exam? when are you getting married? When are you going to have a baby? ...Such topics are happening in all major families in China. Well, the Chinese New Year flavor is made up of questions and laughter, and of course the food and wine at family reunions.

The taxi driver couldn't enter the community, so he sent Zhang Pingan to the gate of the community. He was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he watched Zhang Pingan enter the community amidst the salute of security guards.

Tan Palace, the most expensive villa area in Shanghai. When he saw Zhang Pingan entering the community, he just muttered: "There are so many rich people."

After returning home, Zhang Pingan sat in the living room with his parents and watched TV. Although it was still a long time before the "Spring Festival Gala" was broadcast, the TV channel stopped on 'Dynasty One' early, and the family of three sat in the living room and listened to the TV host introducing various places. Spring Festival activities.

There are fruits, dried fruits, and candies on the table in the living room. These are the most traditional New Year snacks. Zhang Ping'an took a few pistachios and was peeling them, Zhang's mother was peeling an apple, and Zhang's father lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

The skin of the apple in Zhang's mother's hand was not broken, but hung down in long pieces. She seemed to be peeling fruit, but her mind was focused on her son. After waiting for a while, Zhang's mother said, "Why are you coming back alone this year? I thought you were going to bring your Japanese girlfriend with you this year." What about coming back? Just a while ago, you and that Japanese female star made a big fuss."

Zhang Ping'an threw a peeled pistachio into his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Yui Aragaki, a native of Okinawa, Japan, my high school classmate when I studied abroad in Tokyo."

Zhang's father smiled after listening to Zhang Pingan's words and said, "Oh? Is there still this kind of relationship? Isn't this the so-called campus couple?"

Listening to his father's words, Zhang Ping'an shook his head speechlessly and said, "Dad, campus lovers refer to those lovers who are still studying in school."

Father Zhang said: "You came out of the same campus and became a couple.

Can't they be called campus lovers? I looked at the girl's photo, she was very beautiful. "

Zhang's father's last words instantly drew a killing look from Zhang's mother. He quickly averted his eyes from Zhang Mu, successfully avoided Zhang Mu's eyes, then smiled and said no more words.

The news about Zhang Ping'an and Yui Aragaki was also reported in entertainment news in China, so magazines would naturally quote Yui Aragaki's photos. The magazines here in China are quite good, and the photos of Yui they use are photos from some fashion pictorials. Naturally, Yui’s ‘beauty’ was highlighted even more.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded: "Yes, she is very beautiful. She is also one of the most beautiful in Japan."

Father Zhang put out the cigarette in his hand: "Since you are beautiful, then marry her home. They say Japanese women are gentle and virtuous. Your mother and I don't care if your partner is Japanese or Korean, anyway. We just wonder when you can complete your 'mission'."

Task? When Zhang Pingan heard this word, he was stunned for two seconds. Then I immediately figured out what the mission my father was referring to was, to carry on the family lineage! !

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said, "Isn't it still early? I'm not even thirty yet."

Father Zhang immediately said: "You will be thirty next year. You don't think about having children when you are forty, right? Then you will be in your sixties when your child graduates from college. I think you will have children at your age. It’s the best time, kid.”

Zhang Ping'an still felt uncomfortable listening to his father's words. He muttered: "Why do you make it sound like I can have children?"

"Isn't this asking you to work hard?"

As the only son, Zhang Pingan also faces various pressures from his family. Especially a family like his has a greater desire for grandchildren. So when faced with such a problem, the most effective way Zhang Pingan took was to remain silent!

Seeing that Zhang Pingan fell silent, Zhang's mother divided the apples in her hands and handed them to Zhang Pingan: "Eat an apple."

Zhang's mother cleverly used this method to break Zhang Ping'an's silence. He took the fruit plate with a "hmm", then pierced the apples with a fruit fork and started eating.

Regarding carrying on the family line, the old couple just expressed their wishes. At least it was conveyed to Zhang Pingan that they were eager to have a grandson. How Zhang Pingan should choose is not something he can decide alone, so his family did not force him to get married immediately, have a child immediately, or simply give birth to the child first!

At this time, Zhang's mother began to ask about work: "How is your work recently? Not long ago, I saw that your company announced that it would invest 100 million to film a TV series?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "It is certain to invest 100 million Huaxia coins, because the amount of money invested in a TV series determines the quality of the film. However, this time it is also a joint production method. The reason why this news is released is that I don't want to be exclusively bought. "

Chinese TV stations like to talk about exclusive buyouts, but I said in the early stage that this TV series has an investment of "100 million". It is almost impossible to give an exclusive buyout opportunity, because no TV station is willing to offer this price. And it is impossible for Zhang Pingan to sell it at the investment price!

After talking about the TV series, Mother Zhang said: "Have you had any difficulties in the Korean industry recently?"

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said: "No, everything is running normally. Although... the current situation is a bit tense, it will not affect the development of my company. And starting from this year, I will gradually adjust my focus to China. After all, the market there is still too small. In the future, whether it’s entertainment or technology, we have to look at the Chinese market.”

Mother Zhang smiled and nodded and said: "Well, the entertainment section of the Huaxia market is the real big cake. But the things involved are too complicated. Don't get too involved in some strange industries. If you can make it yourself, When producing and co-shooting, you also need to know the qualifications of the other party, and it is best to cooperate with a local platform or an online platform.”

Because the movie "Monster Hunt" released in China in the second half of this year is indeed "monster hunting", and the late-night theater is full? And one every few minutes. What does this mean? Everyone knows it. That's why Zhang's mother reminded Zhang Ping'an not to participate in such a production. After all, her family was not short of money and there was no need to take such a path.

Zhang Ping'an said bitterly: "It's just such strange funds that have entered the entertainment industry, and now the actors' worth has skyrocketed. They all see clearly what's inside, and they want to get a piece of it. This has made formal investors like us , I really don’t dare to make it.”

Mother Zhang smiled and said: "Not every actor has such an opportunity to share. And... this is 'raising pigs'. Do you really think it won't feel hot to hold such money? How many kilograms do you have?" , and you still don’t know?”

Raising pigs is a very appropriate adjective. And there are not many artists who have the opportunity to share. For the rest, I should just be an actor honestly.

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, even with such a high salary, I'm not afraid of checking the water meter."

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Haha, check the water meter? How much does an artist cost? Sometimes you need some news about an artist to cover up something."

Although Zhang Ping'an knew that someone in the future would be in serious trouble due to tax evasion, it was nothing compared to a large enterprise. Perhaps the value of the artists themselves is the ‘attractiveness’ of the news surrounding them!

The most valuable thing about artist news is that it can cover up some news. This is common all over the world. An artist is a chess piece that can be thrown out anytime, anywhere.

Zhang Ping'an also smiled when he heard his mother's description: "There are countless dangers hidden behind the seemingly beautiful scenery."

Mother Zhang smiled and nodded: "In any industry, there are countless dangers hidden behind it when it becomes big. Remember, capital is a group of man-eating monsters! It can even eat its owner!"

Of course Zhang Pingan is aware of the qualitative changes that have occurred after capital poured into the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry is no longer a place that simply provides entertainment to the public, but capital treats the public as the object of entertainment! Even in the process of making stars, brokerage companies are far inferior to capital!

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Fortunately, I am not a particularly greedy person!"

"Don't be greedy for money, but you must also be able to make money. Otherwise, if your girlfriend wants to buy something, you can't come up with the money..." Mother Zhang deliberately stopped here, then looked at Zhang Ping'an carefully, and smiled. He nodded: "The appearance is enough to make a living."

Zhang Ping'an didn't expect that his mother, who was so trendy, would actually say such a thing. This made him very depressed and said: "Mom, what are you talking about? Am I a freeloader?"

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "Eating a soft meal is also a kind of ability, isn't it? Knowing how to use your advantages to create wealth is a very common way of accumulating initial capital! No matter whether it is a man or a woman, you want to use the fastest way to achieve wealth. To accumulate your own original capital, eating soft food is the fastest way!”
