The first thing Ji Changze asked when he called his first love was: "Are your parents at home?"
It's not that he prefers chatting with his first love's parents than talking to his first love, but as far as he knows, his first love's parents may be more conservative in their thinking because they are teachers.
There may not be any big problems in getting along with each other in daily life, but because they are daughters, they are stricter in controlling their daughters.
For example, you must not go home later than 7 p.m., you must report to your parents when going out to play with friends during holidays, you are not allowed to fall in love before you go to college, and if you have friends with men in college, they will ask carefully.
In ten or twenty years, their way of controlling their daughter may seem very strict, but now, it is not so out of the ordinary.
Ji Changze could see clearly that their control over their daughter was not out of desire to control, but out of fear that she would be harmed. After all, as teachers, they had seen too many young girls who had suffered abortions due to corruption in the external environment or early love.
It is precisely because I have seen so much that I can see clearly.
Men must have an advantage in this regard. After all, even if they make a girl pregnant, they will not be the ones to have the abortion, nor will they be the ones to be gossiped about. Instead, they may become the target of being considered powerful by their friends.
In the future, when I grow up and go on blind dates locally, even the introducer will not think it is a big deal. At most, I will say lightly that I was young and ignorant and my girlfriend got pregnant.
If it were a girl, if her blind date heard that she had tasted forbidden fruits and had an abortion before, she would definitely be criticized.
The parents who have such an only child inevitably have to be careful, for fear that their daughter will be ruined in this way.
It's just day and night defense, it's hard to guard against domestic thieves. No matter how defensive they are against people outside, they are not so defensive against the original owner who they think is big.
After all, just like his own daughter, he grew up from a baby under their noses, and he was not much different from his own nephew.
As a result, the original owner just bypassed the two of them and coaxed Chu Lian into letting him do it without telling her. He also used the parents' strict discipline in the past to get Chu Lian to promise not to reveal the news of their relationship.
One can imagine how difficult it is for the first love classmate to enter the entertainment industry when he grew up in an environment where he was scolded for returning home late.
In the original timeline, she didn't know how much she had to pay to get her parents to recognize the career she had longed for since childhood, but it was so easily ruined by the original owner.
Ji Changze withdrew his thoughts and listened to the slightly doubtful voice of his first love: "They're not here. Do you have anything to do with them?"
"They seem to have gone to your house. How about I call them over to listen to the call?"
"Need not."
Ji Changze recalled the appearance of the original owner in front of his first love, and said with a smile: "I just made sure they were there, lest they hear what I said and blame me for kidnapping their precious daughter."
Her first love blushed. She was always easily amused in front of the people she liked: "It's been so long and you still don't dare to tell my parents."
Her name is Rong An, and you can tell from her name that more than anything else, her parents only want her to be safe.
It doesn't matter if you're not smart, it doesn't matter if you're not beautiful, as long as you are healthy and safe.
Ji Changze followed the original owner's words again:
"Let's wait until we graduate from college. I guess by the time we graduate, we will be adults in their eyes, and they won't break my legs by then."
After he finished joking, he calmed down his playful tone and started talking about business: "You should know about my movie, right? We are short of a younger version of the heroine. Do you think you can come?"
Heroine
Rong An has always liked acting. She lived at her grandma's house for a while when she was a child. There were no movie theaters in the countryside, but sometimes movies would be shown in the village.
Black and white movies were played in the open space, with villagers carrying benches to sit in front of, children running around, and people from the neighboring village who had received the news carrying poles to sell snacks.
After the movie starts, children usually choose their own seats to sit down. Because they are short, they usually sit in the front, watching the scenes mesmerized.
That was Rong An's first exposure to movies. From that day on, her dream was to be an actress.
Play another person and make the audience laugh and cry because of this person.
Rong An did mention his dream to his parents. At first, his parents didn't take it seriously and just treated it as a child's joke.
When she seriously expressed that she wanted to go to a film and television school, she happened to encounter a case of assault against an actress. The incident was a big deal at the time. It was obvious that the victim was an actress, but she was inexplicably trying to sue the other party. Died in a car accident.
Gossip reporters publicized this matter all over the world. Even if the actress was not from Mainland China, the darkness in the entertainment industry was exposed more and more under the push of gossip reporters.
How could Rong's parents let their daughter enter such a place
Rong An failed to apply for the film and television school as he wished, and he knew in his heart that his parents were for his own good, so he could only hide his goals from childhood to adulthood. He would only express his feelings when facing his childhood sweetheart Ji Changze.
She has been quietly paying attention to news in the entertainment industry, and naturally knows how incredible it is for someone who has never formally acted before to get the role of the heroine right away.
Rong An himself didn't believe it if Ji Changze didn't choose her because of their relationship.
She liked acting, but she didn't want to delay Ji Changze's career, so she quickly rejected the offer: "I've never acted before, so how could I be the heroine from the get-go? You'd better find someone else."
"Eighty percent of the actors in my crew have never acted before. The young heroine and the middle-aged heroine are all acting for the first time. What's the big deal?"
Ji Changze could also roughly guess what Rong An was thinking. She was a good girl and a very considerate person.
She is more unwilling to cause trouble than to realize her dream.
He sighed deliberately, with a hint of embarrassment in his tone: "And I didn't expect that the crew would need so much money to film the movie. Now that I have tight funds, I can't even hire extras, let alone a young and beautiful actress." .”
On the other end of the phone, Rong An's tone was hesitant: "Is this so? But I've never taken a photo before, I'm afraid... "
"That's better than pulling one from the street now."
Ji Changze added fuel to the fire and said softly as if he was tired: "An'an, you are the only one who can help me now."
As soon as the special move came out, Rong An agreed without hesitation for long.
"Well, then I'll pack my bags and set off today. My parents have never allowed me to go filming before because they were afraid that I would be bullied. If they know that you are the chief director, they should... agree, right?"
Her tone was uncertain.
Rong's father and Rong's mother didn't know that their daughter had already stupidly packed up and left home, and they were still trying to persuade the neighbors at Ji's house.
This neighbor is naturally Ji's father and Ji's mother.
Ji's father felt worried when he thought about his son these days: "Tell me, he is a student from a prestigious university, why is he going to film a movie or join in the fun?!"
"And filming! Doesn't he know how chaotic the entertainment industry is?!"
Rong's father handed him a cup of tea: "Calm down and be calm. Children are older and they always have their own ideas. Besides, isn't the entertainment industry now clean? It's not as chaotic as it was back then."
Father Ji slapped the table: "Then he can't make his own decisions like that, he's still a child!! He created such a big mess! If something happens, I'll see how he ends up!"
Rong's father: "Relax, calm down, drink a cup of tea to calm down."
"Old Ji, Nagasawa is already in his twenties and has grown up. We already had two children at that time. Don't always look at people with the eyes of a child."
While Rong's mother patted Ji's mother's hand comfortingly, she advised Ji's father: "When the children grow up, it's time to let them go and let them fly. When they were a few years old, you protected them. When they were teenagers, you protected them. Now He's over 20 years old and you're still restraining him, that's not good."
"yes."
Rong's father and his wife sang together: "We are teachers, and we know best that children of this age should go out and work hard. This is called growth."
"I think Nagasawa is very good and very motivated. He started making movies before he graduated from college. Then look at our family An'an, who is about the same age as Nagasawa and can only study hard now. If my daughter had you, With Mr. Chang Ze’s ability, I can laugh out of my dreams.”
Ji's father was persuaded by the two for a long time, and his anger subsided a little.
But I still feel a sense of suffocation in my heart: "Then just let him live in the capital? This is the first time in his life that he is so far away from us."
Rong's father: "Relax, calm down, drink a cup of tea to calm down."
"When children grow up, they always have to travel far away. It's a good thing to go out more and gain more experience." Rong's mother said with reason: "And didn't he bring some friends he knew? So many people took care of him. , what are you afraid of?"
Rong's father answered: "No, the capital is not far away. If you miss him, just give him a call. He is such an old man and he doesn't need his parents to accompany him like a child."
Ji's father was still sulking, but Ji's mother was convinced.
"Hey, that's what you said. When the children grow up, they will have to leave home."
Ji's father was annoyed: "What a big fart! He is 80 years old, and he is also my son."
Rong's father: "Relax, calm down, drink a cup of tea to calm down."
Ji's father rolled his eyes at him: "Old Rong, can you stop saying this all the time."
"Isn't this advising you to calm down?" The two have been good friends for so many years, and Rong's father and Ji's father spoke naturally and casually:
“How many times have I told you that the most important thing in life is to be calm and remain calm at all times.
Look at you, you are shouting and your voice is so high. At our age, we have to be calm and steady no matter what we encounter, and our tone does not fluctuate, and everything will be solved naturally. "
As he said that, Rong's father picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip: "Come, follow me, sit down slowly, then take a deep breath, exhale, then inhale, exhale, and then..."
——Squeak.
The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and Rong An carefully poked his head out. When he saw the elders were there, he came in and said hello: "Uncle, aunt."
After saying hello, she looked at her parents and lowered her head a little awkwardly: "Mom and Dad, Brother Nagasawa just called and said that he was short of a heroine and asked me if I wanted to go. I, I agreed to him."
Father Rong was shocked:
"What?!!!!!!!"
"No!! I absolutely disagree!!"
Seeing that he objected without even asking a question, Rong An's eyes turned red and he lowered his head and said, "Anyway, I have already agreed. Brother Nagasawa will take care of me. I will go up and pack my luggage first."
"Stop! You are still a child. How can you go to the capital!!"
Rong's father stood up suddenly, splitting his throat, and after shouting, his feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Ji's father quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands. He looked at his old friend who looked like he was about to get angry. Then he looked at Rong An's back. He wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.
After holding it in for a long time, I finally said:
"Calm down, calm down, let's have some tea."
"How about you take a deep breath?"
