With Shao Junling's ability, is it not easy to pass the TOEFL test? Yin Chang wasn't worried about the exam results at all, but Shao Junling never gave him a clear answer, so he was always in a state of anxiety.
However, no matter whether Shao Junling goes abroad or not, Yin Chang is definitely going to play Cao Pi.
The lines of the costume drama were quite awkward, and he had a headache after citing them in advance. Thinking about it later, he has absolutely no knowledge of ancient prose, and he took such a big role in the play, he is digging his own grave.
In addition to memorizing the lines, Yin Chang also needs to know some ancient cultures in advance, such as the ancient people's sitting posture, walking style, body language of daily greetings, etc. Although there will be professionals and directors to guide these when it comes to the crew, he still has to do something in advance homework.
Therefore, Yin Chang, who was under a lot of pressure, could only start preparing as soon as possible, and the time that was not very plentiful was compressed again.
After two months like this, Yin Chang came home very late that day and saw Shao Junling sitting on the bed with his notebook in his arms.
"Still asleep?" Yin Chang took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. The weather has turned warm recently. He went out to shoot today and was sweating all over. He hurried into the bathroom and took a shower. When he came out, he saw Shao Junling still sitting in the middle of the bed, " What's the matter? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Brother," Shao Junling looked at him and whispered, "I have received the admission letter from L University."
Yin Chang was taken aback. Didn't Shao Junling receive this notice half a year ago
Ah, no, it was conditional at that time... Could it be that he has received a formal offer now
Shao Junling's next sentence confirmed Yin Chang's guess: "Report for duty in August this year."
Yin Chang's eyes lit up, then darkened again.
He really couldn't be happy when he heard the answer he wanted.
Because Shao Junling's sluggish decision has wiped out Yin Chang's initial impulse, and he was tormented by the lines of that costume drama recently, after thinking about it, Yin Chang felt that this deal seemed a bit uneconomical .
But Yin Chang's rationality quickly overcame his emotions, and he pretended to be excited and said: "You are very good... When are you leaving, do you want me to book a ticket for you?"
He threw the quilt up and went to bed, but he was thinking quickly: he will report for duty in August this year, so Shao Junling will leave in less than three months? so fast…
"How much is the tuition fee? When will you pay it? Do you not have a VISA card yet? Let Uncle Wang take you to get one. I will transfer money to your card at a fixed time every year..." Yin Chang remembered that he used to study in Pasadena When he was in high school, Yin Dong would deposit 70,000 to 80,000 U.S. dollars in his card every year, which is about 500,000 RMB, and Yin Dong also paid for the tuition. Although he is not a person of extravagance and waste, he never treats himself badly in consumption. Now that so many years have passed, prices have risen, and Shao Junling is going to go to university again. When he is in a prestigious school, he will meet celebrities from all walks of life, so he can't afford to be shy.
"Is two hundred thousand dollars a year enough?" Yin Chang asked after deliberation, "Do you want to buy a car? Americans can drive at the age of seventeen."
Shao Junling: "..."
Yin Chang still has a car in Pasadena. When he returned to China, he had no time to dispose of it. It was parked in the garage. He didn’t go back to maintain it for so many years. I don’t know if it was stopped or scrapped.
"By the way," Yin Chang suddenly thought of a question, "Which city is L University in? Is it San Francisco?"
Shao Junling closed the computer and put it on the bedside table, and called out, "Brother."
Yin Chang: "That's pretty close to Los Angeles. You can go to Pasadena to have a look. There's a villa there, where I used to live..."
Shao Junling: "Brother..."
Yin Chang: "However, no one has lived there for many years. Why don't you let Yang Na go with you? Then you can go there every weekend and let Yang Na cook you some delicious food... Or, why don't you just rent a house in San Francisco …”
"Brother!" Shao Junling raised his voice before letting Yin Chang stop.
"Don't you want me to go out and work out?" he said.
Yin Chang: "Uh, yes..."
Shao Junling looked at him speechlessly: "You're so worried about me, why don't you let me bring you along?"
Yin Chang blinked: "... I want to film."
Shao Junling was silent for two seconds, and said, "You don't have to think so much about me, I can handle it myself."
This sentence blocked Yin Chang's full of concern, and he felt depressed and lost for a moment.
Although it has been a long time since he returned to China, he has lived there for more than ten years, and he has a lot of experience that he wants to share with his younger brother, but his younger brother said that he doesn't need it...
Thinking about it, it is true. His brother can even repair video tape projectors, and now he speaks standard and fluent English. If he is not short of money, what can he do
At this time, Shao Junling seemed to have read Yin Chang's mind, and said, "It's too late today, you go to bed first, I have three months of vacation before going abroad, you can tell me anything you want to tell me at any time."
Yin Chang originally wanted to help, but Shao Junling said "explain", and the roles of the two seemed to be reversed.
Yin Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay..."
Hey, sooner or later you have to adapt to this process.
He didn't sleep well all night, Yin Chang woke up with sore eyes in the morning, and saw Shao Junling lying on the side with his eyes closed.
Originally, Shao Junling had already run to school at this point in the morning, why is he still lying down today
... Oh, I almost forgot, this guy is on vacation now, so he probably isn't in a hurry to go to school.
While Shao Junling was still asleep, Yin Chang quietly reached out and rubbed his head.
Hey, my hair is hard and tied, not as soft as when I was a child...
After Yin Chang got out of bed, Shao Junling opened his eyes. Looking at the back of his brother leaving, he sighed softly, and also felt a little melancholy.
After a few days, Yin Chang asked Lu Lingjuan, "Check the schedule for me. Before August, how many rest days do I have?"
Lu Lingjuan flipped through the calendar: "You rest every seven or eight days, there are no arrangements."
Yin Chang thought he heard it wrong: "Huh?"
"Actually, it can't be called a rest," Lu Lingjuan explained, "When you took over "Three Kingdoms", Mr. Yao arranged for you two months in advance, allowing you to concentrate on pondering the script and adjusting the script before joining the group. Take a look at the status."
It was only then that Yin Chang remembered that it seemed that there would indeed be such a few days of rest before each filming. But in the past, the scenes he took were very short, so the time was never longer than a week, and sometimes he recited a little bit every day when he took time out. He originally thought it would be the same this time, so he read the script early on, and even took the initiative to ask the teacher who taught costume dramas to make up for him. When Yao Manhuai and Lu Lingjuan met, they thought he was working hard and didn't think too much about it. After all, Yin Chang has always been serious and dedicated.
Now that he heard that he would have a two-month vacation, Yin Chang suddenly felt that a piece of pie had fallen from the sky, and he was very happy.
Lu Lingjuan asked again: "You just asked me about my rest day, what did you want to do?"
"Oh, Shao Junling is going to study abroad in August, and I want to spend more time with him before he leaves." Yin Chang said bluntly.
Lu Lingjuan asked curiously: "Study abroad? Do you want to transfer to a foreign country for high school?"
Yin Chang: "I'm going to university."
"Going to college?" Lu Lingjuan said in surprise, "Don't scare me, has time passed so fast? Why do I feel that he just went to high school not long ago?"
"Not really, it's been two years," Mr. He called Yin Chang the day before yesterday, and Yin Chang took the opportunity to find out about Shao Junling's situation, "I heard from his teacher that he took the unified examination in advance this year. But even if he graduates from high school, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t take the domestic college entrance examination, or doesn’t study in the third year of high school.”
"Oh, I thought he skipped a grade again," Lu Lingjuan counted with her fingers, "Then how old is he now?"
"I just passed my seventeenth birthday at the end of last year," Yin Chang said happily. "He was still in the first grade of elementary school at the age of eleven, and now he is studying at university at the age of seventeen. Isn't that amazing?"
"Wonderful..." Lu Lingjuan clicked her tongue in admiration, and asked again after a while, "However, he has gone abroad, what should you do?"
"What should I do?" Yin Chang felt that Lu Lingjuan's question was a bit inexplicable.
"You depend on him so much, are you willing to let him go?" Lu Lingjuan looked at him.
"No... how can I rely on him?" Yin Chang had a question mark on his face.
Lu Lingjuan's eyes on Yin Chang gradually changed from surprise to contempt: Wow, Yin Chang relies a lot on Shao Junling in his private life, doesn't he know himself
As Yin Chang's life assistant, Lu Lingjuan often goes to Yin Chang's house because of work, and because of this, she has seen many unknown sides of Yin Chang.
I remember that during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Lu Lingjuan went to the Huaihe apartment to deliver mooncakes from the partner to Yin Chang in advance. It happened that Yang Na cooked a pot of borscht, and Yin Chang invited her to have dinner together.
After the meal, Yin Chang proposed to make some tea and share the box of mooncakes.
The moon cake gift box was made into a moon palace. Yin Chang liked it very much, but he didn't know how to take it apart. He naturally asked Shao Junling to come over and get it. Shao Junling asked him, "Do you want to put it back together after taking it apart?"
Yin Chang said yes, so Shao Junling groped around in front of them, then carefully opened the box, took out the mooncakes, and put them back together intact.
Yin Chang held the box and put it on the coffee table, and jokingly asked if he could raise a rabbit in it.
Lu Lingjuan still has a deep impression on Yin Chang's childish expression at that time...
After making tea and eating moon cakes, Lu Lingjuan went to help Yang Na, and Shao Junling followed to get milk. Seeing Lu Lingjuan looking for a tea pot, he said: "He likes the blue pot, um... put less, he will drink too much Can't sleep until midnight."
Lu Lingjuan was taken aback, and heard Yang Na laughing beside her, "That's right, Xiao Chang is greedy for tea."
Lu Lingjuan is good at observing words and deeds. Others may not pay attention to these small details, but she notices them all.
Also, when Yin Chang was at home, he would call Shao Junling habitually. If he couldn’t find the car keys, he would ask Shao Junling. Where was the contract? Shao Junling.
Lu Lingjuan was dumbfounded at the time, she was clearly a life assistant, but when she saw how Yin Chang and Shao Junling got along, she suddenly realized that if Shao Junling competed with her for the job, she might lose her job...
In fact, Lu Lingjuan knows that some celebrities are idiots in life, relying on their managers and assistants for everything except work, but she never thought that Yin Chang is also like this in private. Because Yin Chang was very independent outside, but he was with Shao Junling, so he didn't have much brains.
Later, Lu Lingjuan felt that Shao Junling might be used to this.
That's right, Shao Junling has such a good memory, it's almost like a living memo, and he always answers Yin Chang's questions, at his command, and the two of them get along day and night every day, don't they just rely on it
Seeing Yin Chang's bewildered look, Lu Lingjuan couldn't help but want to remind him: "Do you still remember that two years ago at our celebration banquet, you were drunk and insisted that Shao Junling come to pick you up?"
