A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 495: The Crowded Temple Fair

This little bit of unpleasantness that happened on New Year's Eve did not affect the mood for the New Year. Chen Jinnian and his family still happily played mahjong until late at night.

I was very busy during this period. In between playing mahjong, I did not forget to reply to various New Year greetings calls.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Jinnian was lying in bed, still half asleep, when he felt a hand touching his face.

At first he thought Wang Yidi was playing a trick on him, but when he struggled to open his eyes, he found that it was his sister running towards him barefoot from the master bedroom.

"Hey, Xiaoyue, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Mom asked me to come and play with my brother." Chen Xuanyue held Chen Jinnian's arm with her chubby little hands and tried hard to pull him up.

Chen Jinnian yawned and got up from the bed, picked up his cell phone and checked the time.

"What? It's not even nine o'clock yet. Why don't you go back and sleep for a while, be good." He tried to communicate with his sister.

But unlike them who played mahjong until three in the morning, Chen Xuanyue fell asleep early at the latest. How could Chen Xuanyue fall asleep now?

It was probably because Su Ying was annoyed by her own daughter's yelling that she let her daughter come over to harm her son.

"No, I want to go out and play, I want to..."

Chen Xuanyue had just shouted a few words when Chen Jinnian grabbed her from the bed and covered her mouth, "Shh, keep your voice down."

Wang Yidi was still sleeping, and Chen Jinnian didn't want her to be disturbed by her sister.

"As long as you don't make any noise, I'll take you out to play right away." Chen Jinnian said in a low voice.

At this time, Chen Xuanyue, whose mouth was covered, stared with her two big round eyes, not daring to move. After listening to her brother's words, she nodded her head to show her agreement.

Seeing that an agreement had been reached in the negotiations, Chen Jinnian slowly stood up and tiptoed out of the bedroom carrying his sister.

The first day of the Lunar New Year in the city is actually very lively, even to the point of being a bit annoying.

There are many temple fair activities such as the Ditan Temple Fair, Longtan Temple Fair, and Yuanmingyuan Garden Fair. Add to that the large number of operating cinemas, theaters, and shopping malls, and there are even more places to play.

If his sister hadn't insisted on going out, Chen Jinnian wouldn't have bothered to join in the fun.

Not only are there traffic jams and parking difficulties, but in some crowded places, it is so crowded that there is no place to stand.

Chen Jinnian was particularly disgusted by chaotic crowds. After all, others had forgotten the Bund stampede on New Year's Eve, but he had not. So he held Chen Xuanyue in his arms the whole time and tried to stand on the edge of the crowd, not wanting to squeeze in with the crowd like a group of penguins spending the winter.

There were many parents who shared the same idea as Chen Jinnian. They were all a little frightened by the surging crowd in front of them, and kept wandering around the periphery instead of entering the temple fair.

Chen Xuanyue had never seen so many people before. When she suddenly saw the lively scene, she was so excited that she kept twisting her body and looking around.

Because she was so dishonest, she moved her little hands around and slapped other people in the face.

"Hey." A cry of surprise was heard.

Chen Xuanyue, realizing that she had gotten into trouble, quickly hugged her brother's neck and pretended to be well-behaved.

Chen Jinnian sighed, he was really being tricked by his own brother.

"I'm sorry, my sister has been a little naughty. I'm really embarrassed."

After he apologized, he noticed that the grandfather who was beaten by Chen Xuanyue seemed familiar, perhaps he had seen him somewhere.

The other party turned to look at Chen Jinnian, and the same doubt appeared in his eyes.

It looks so familiar.

"Hey, don't worry about him. He's thick-skinned, how can he be in any trouble? But is your sister okay? Children's hands are very fragile. Check them out quickly."

The white-haired grandmother next to him said with concern, with a kind smile on her face.

Chen Jinnian temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned to look at Chen Xuanyue, "Xiaoyue, tell grandma if your hand hurts."

Chen Xuanyue turned her head and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, I'm not in pain, am I?"

"Hey, you're so good." Grandma reached out and touched Chen Xuanyue's teddy bear hat, then rummaged through her pockets, took out a few candies and handed them over, "Here, grandma will give them to you to try."

Since Su Ying had always taught Chen Xuanyue not to accept food from strangers, she hesitated and turned to look at her brother.

Chen Jinnian reached out to help her take it, "Xiaoyue, thank you grandma."

"Thank you, grandma." Chen Xuanyue repeated Chen Jinnian's reminder, making the other party so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Just as everyone was clearing up the misunderstanding, an anxious voice came from behind.

"Dad, Mom, we're only halfway through the movie, why did you leave so early?"

Chen Jinnian felt the voice was very familiar. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Jing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why the two old people looked familiar. They were Ji Yangyang's grandparents. He had seen them at the parent-teacher meeting in high school.

"Auntie, what a coincidence, you guys come here to play too."

"Oh, Jinnian, I didn't expect to see you here."

After Liu Jing discovered Chen Jinnian, her anxious expression immediately turned into surprise. Then, she turned her gaze to Chen Xuanyue who was being held. "This is your sister, right? Wow, she's so pretty. She was only a little girl when I saw her last time."

Chen Xuanyue inherited Su Ying's foundation and is as pretty as a piece of jade. If Chen Jinnian hadn't kept her hidden and didn't want her to be exposed to the public media, she would have attracted a large number of fans.

Liu Jing's mother looked around and suddenly realized.

"Oh, I was wondering how we could all get along. It turns out we're all acquaintances, we're all family."

"Yes, Jinnian is Yangyang's good friend. You should have met him before." Liu Jing introduced.

"Yes, we have met before. I felt that he looked familiar at first sight, but I couldn't remember him after thinking for a long time. It made me very depressed. I thought that I don't have Alzheimer's disease, so I don't remember it."

After Liu Jing's father finished speaking, he burst into a hearty laugh.

It is naturally a happy thing to meet acquaintances when you are out.

Liu Jing couldn't help but chat with Chen Jinnian for a few more words.

From Liu Jing's narration, Chen Jinnian learned that not only Ji Yangyang, but Liu Zheng also went to South America. They would go on vacation after the race and would not return to China until next month.

So on New Year's Eve, only the four of us got together and had a meaningless reunion dinner.

Ji Shengli had a rare day off today, so he wanted to invite his parents to the cinema to watch a movie. However, the old couple were dizzy with 3D and couldn't stand it after watching for too long, so they wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

When Chen Jinnian heard this, he paid special attention to the 3D issue.

Many movies are deliberately shown in 3D for ticket price considerations, not for a better viewing experience. Moreover, the current 3D images lack detail and are far from 2D.

If we really talk about the viewing experience, at least 99% of 3D does not live up to its name.

Years ago, Zhuying also suggested that since the movie had a lot of green screens, the 2D version could be upgraded to 3D during post-production. But now it seems that if not handled properly it might backfire and drive the audience out of the cinema.

Chen Jinnian was still thinking about the movie, while Liu Jing was already calling Ji Shengli to come over quickly.
