After solving the case of the female corpse in ice and snow, Jian Jing spent a very harmonious December.
She goes to class two days a week, drinks milk tea with classmate Le and exchanges feelings with her (classmate Li never pays attention to her again, thank God), goes home to write articles, walks the dog in the evening, and has a midnight snack.
By Christmas, the first chapter of Devil’s 3 had been written.
The knight gained two kilograms and became more and more majestic.
The movie version of "Rose Gold" is being edited intensively, aiming to be released in time for Valentine's Day in 2022, while the TV series "Devil Doctor 2" has been sent for review and is also set to be released during the Spring Festival.
During this period, I went with Jiang Baiyan to watch the movie he had previously filmed in Bingcheng.
The film is about a father and son who are forest rangers. He plays the son and has no more than 50 lines in the whole film, most of which are through eye contact and facial expressions.
The idea is profound and the shots are beautiful, but it just looks too boring.
She fell asleep right away.
After the screening, Jiang Baiyan woke her up and looked at her silently.
Jian Jing was slightly embarrassed and looked around: "Is it over?"
There is no one around.
He was listless: "Half an hour after the show started, half of them were gone. After another half an hour, only five or six were left. The rest fell asleep like you."
Jian Jing: “…” At least landscape documentaries have narration, this is really boring.
She picked up her Coke and organized her words: "The movie is still very good, but it's too profound."
Jiang Baiyan groaned, his head sank, and he leaned on her shoulder: "I filmed for three months."
The tone was extremely sad.
"It was a great performance." Jian Jing praised sincerely.
Although she fell asleep halfway through, several shots left a deep impression on her. The pine trees covered with snow, the clear blue sky, and his pure and flawless face perfectly interpreted the innocence of a child.
It’s hard to imagine that the person with innocent eyes in front of the camera has a intestine that is like a maze in real life.
From this point of view, the acting is outstanding.
Jiang Baiyan said dryly: "Thank you."
Jian Jing quickly ended the topic: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal as a thank you for treating me to a movie."
"You were actually thinking that I should treat you," he muttered, "and you wasted two hours of your time."
Jian Jing said hypocritically: "That's not the case."
Jiang Baiyan's face was full of "I don't believe it".
However, even though the movie was a bit boring and not to the general public's taste, its reviews soared and it was even taken abroad to participate in film festivals.
Many of his peers made sarcastic remarks, but Jiang Baiyan didn't take them to heart. He told Jian Jing, "I won't win the prize. My emotions are too subtle. It's hard for foreigners to understand."
In this regard, Jian Jing trusted his intuition and couldn't help but be curious: "What about rose gold?"
"I haven't seen the finished film yet." He winked slyly, "But I signed a profit-sharing contract."
When he mentioned it, Jian Jing remembered that when preparing to shoot this movie, Jinwu's cash flow was very tight (President Kang had just acquired the Dream Building at that time), but she did not ask for copyright fees.
"Great, if this movie fails, you, me, and Mr. Kang will all lose money," she said.
Jiang Baiyan made a face: "Maybe you can get a lot of money."
"You seem very confident." Jian Jing glanced at him and asked casually, "So, what do you think of this movie?"
Jiang Baiyan blinked and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this after we finish watching the movie."
Jian Jing glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions.
Then, Christmas and New Year's Day passed in sunny weather.
Jian Jing received a New Year's gift package from Jin Wu - this year's award-winning books, a mini Christmas tree and a dozen Christmas socks, as well as a beautiful snowflake crystal ball.
She put the glass ball on the desk, the Christmas tree on the windowsill, and then put a sock around the knight's neck, pretending it was a bow tie.
Knight: "Woof?"
"Cute." She rubbed the dog's head affectionately.
The knight lay down with his head on his paws.
She took a selfie and uploaded it to Weibo, wishing her readers a Happy Christmas.
Then I received hundreds of reminders...
[My wife is writing an article, please stop playing with the dog, we are starving to death]
[Hungry, food]
[When will Devil May Cry 3 come out? ? ]
[When will Rose Gold be released? Please don’t make random changes, I’m worried.]
[The Devil 2 drama is coming soon]
[I’m worried that Mr. Jian has made enough money and will stop writing qaq]
[I’ll be motivated to buy a few more pieces of couture!]
Jian Jing silently closed the interface.
2021 has passed and we have entered 2022.
On the first day of the new year, I slept in, played games, and walked the dog.
On the second day of the new year, I slept in, watched TV series, and walked the dog.
On the third day of the New Year, I slept in, left my dog at my boss's house, and packed my luggage.
The wedding was held in a small town in Eastern Europe called Bana, which means "ice and snow disaster" in the local language.
Jian Jing checked the local weather and found out... snow, heavy snow, and blizzard.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Holding a wedding in the middle of winter, I thought it was a warm place like spring. Is there something wrong with the host family to hold a wedding in the snow? But on second thought, some places in Switzerland have snow all year round, but the scenery is unique, maybe this is also the case here.
It’s better to pack more clothes to avoid catching a cold.
This time, it was a very long long-distance flight.
What was worse than the time in Paris was that there was no airport near the town, so they had to first fly to the country's capital and then transfer to the nearest airport - it must be pointed out that the airport was so small that a row of bungalows was considered the airport.
That’s not all.
After more than ten hours of flight (and another call for help), they met up with the groom's friend, who drove them to the town of Bana.
When we came out of the airport, the weather was still ok, but the wind was a little stronger, blowing towards us head-on, like slaps hitting us left and right.
Jian Jing was holding back her emotions, and was shivering as she wrapped herself in a scarf.
"Hi!" A burly bear-like man strode up and asked in unstandard English, "Are you Kang?"
Kang Mucheng nodded and shook hands with him.
The two parties introduced themselves to each other. Big Bear introduced himself as "George", a foreign male name that sounded very familiar to passers-by. He was a local of Bana Town and was employed by Winter Castle. This time, he was responsible for picking up and dropping off guests attending the wedding.
English is not the official language here, but George speaks it well enough that at least people can understand him: "Although Bana is a small place, the scenery is very, very, very beautiful. You will not regret coming here."
The tone of his "very-very-very" with his big tongue was so funny that Jian Jing couldn't help laughing out loud.
But at this time, she still didn't take this unknown town of Bana seriously.
It’s a European town with exotic customs, so it should be quite beautiful. But to say it’s “very-very-very” is probably just bragging.
She was very interested in the Winter Castle and asked, "You said castle just now, is that kind of castle?"
"Oh-yeah-yeah," Brother Xiong answered in English with a strange rhythm in his accent, "It's the kind of castle that you girls would like. Speaking of which, Leo inherited his father's noble title, but unfortunately he is about to get married."
He winked at Jian Jing with a mischievous look on his face.
Thanks to the movie "Paris" (a love film produced by Morningstar, a story of Versailles between a Chinese woman and European aristocrats), Jian Jing was not interested in aristocrats and even felt a little disgusted.
So, her response was a bit lukewarm: "I don't need a prince to save me."
Brother Xiong laughed and made a face: "Yes, beautiful lady, you have two." After a pause, he changed his words, "No, now there are three."
Jian Jing couldn't help but smile when she received such compliments.
Brother Xiong added: "But Leo is a good boy. I like him very much. I am very happy for him that he can be happy."
He was a talkative person and soon told the groom's family background in detail.
Leo's last name is a bit difficult to pronounce, and its transliteration is Saarviklutz. Because it is too difficult to remember, let's call it the Saar family.
They have a history of more than 300 years in the local area. They were once earls granted by the royal family of the country and owned a large territory. However, with the changes in history, the royal family that held real power became a vase royal family of constitutional monarchy, and the title only had symbolic significance.
Naturally, the territory was lost.
Decades ago, Leo's grandfather made a lot of money in business. He not only renovated the castle, but also bought a large piece of land and became the largest real estate developer in the local area.
It is said that one third of the land in Bana town belongs to the Sal family, who are extremely rich.
The hospital, shopping mall and nursing home in the town were all funded and built by the Sal family, making them the uncrowned king of Bana Town.
Brother Xiong is good at chatting. After driving for four hours, Kang Mucheng and Si Yingjie couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey and fell asleep. However, Jian Jing became more and more energetic as the conversation went on, and she completely treated it as a source of material.
Her support made Brother Bear even more enthusiastic. He originally said he would take them directly to Winter Castle, but after they arrived in the town, he changed his mind and strongly recommended them to try the best pizza in the local area.
It was a little after eight in the morning when the plane arrived. After several hours' drive, everyone was very hungry and agreed in unison.
Judging from the appearance, the pizza shop is somewhat disappointing. The red tiles have faded and the sign is dull. But as soon as the thick door is opened, an amazing aroma immediately wafts out.
The wonderful taste of sausage, cheese, vegetables and bread immediately awakened the taste buds of the three people.
Si Yingjie said shamelessly: "I can eat one by myself."
Jian Jing immediately ordered: "I want a Big Mac pizza."
"You must try the grape lemon wine mixed by the boss himself." Brother Xiong strongly recommended.
Jian Jing readily agreed: "Okay, three more glasses of lemonade."
"It's good to be young. I can't wait to finish eating and go to sleep." Si Yingjie felt sore in his waist and back and couldn't lift his spirits. "Mucheng, our old bones are too weak."
Kang Mucheng didn't say anything. He picked up a glass of lemon wine brought by the boss and took a small sip. A chill rushed to his head and he finally sobered up a little.
At this time, the hot pizza is freshly baked.
The four of them took a piece each and took a bite. The mixed taste of cheese, side dishes and bread spread in their mouths, rich and spicy, and their tongues suddenly felt hot.
"Cough." Kang Mucheng doesn't eat spicy food, and he kept coughing because of the choking.
Jian Jing burst out laughing, quickly handed him water and tissues, and asked, "Is there anything that's not spicy? Anything you want, please."
The boss poked his head out, looked at me with a look of “poor kid can’t eat spicy food”, and asked, “Chicken noodles?”
"Don't want it spicy." Jian Jing emphasized.
The boss shook his head and went into the kitchen.
Kang Mucheng drank several sips of ice water and finally suppressed the spicy taste. He said to Jian Jing, "You should eat less too. It's too spicy."
"I'm fine." She took a big bite, even enjoying the pain of the chili. Paired with the cool and refreshing grape lemon wine, it was sweet and sour and delicious.
enjoy.
"Ding Dong", the bell at the door rang, and three tightly wrapped people came into the store.
"Big Mac with extra cheese." The young man in the lead ordered familiarly, turned around and wiped his nose, "Uncle George, you are here too?"
"Luka." Brother Xiong greeted him warmly, "How come you are later than me? I remember you are closer."
Luca said angrily: "Don't mention it. This lady insisted on going to the city to buy things. What can I do?"
"Little brat, this place is so remote, what's the problem with preparing a little more stuff?" The blonde woman with the same outfit stood with her hands on her hips, looking very imposing.
Luca was very angry and ignored her. He just asked Brother Xiong: "Uncle George, is there room for more people in your car?"
"There are still two spots left." Brother Xiong asked, "What's wrong?"
A trace of gloom flashed across Luca's face: "The castle... I don't like that place. You know, it makes me feel uncomfortable."
The room suddenly became dead silent.
