A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 471 The final chapter of the conspiracy

"My child is going to school, and I'm short of fifty yuan. I thought I'd come and borrow some to get through this difficult time." Huang Lei took Chen Jinnian's arm in a familiar manner, looking like a good brother.

"Don't look for me, look for your beloved apprentice. His family has a huge sum of 800 yuan."

Chen Jinnian sold Zhang Yixing right away.

There was no way around it. The program team didn't give him a penny more than the 100 yuan he received for being laid off.

"Oh my, my son wants to buy a TV. Adding the hundred yuan in my pocket, I'm still a hundred yuan short." Zhang Yixing explained hurriedly. His wife had to take a photo because of a work restriction, so he was forced to agree to borrow money. Now he doesn't know how to ask for money again.

"Oh, you can save a hundred on the TV, and my daughter can save fifty on school fees. Then I guess the three of them should also save a hundred or fifty." Huang Lei figured out what the production team was up to.

As Huang Lei pointed out the problem, Chen Jinnian also came to his senses.

Without him, the five families represent the wishes of five children, and one of them will have to bear the consequences of having his wish not being fulfilled.

The money he has can help one of his five children realize his wish in advance, so that he does not have to participate in this zero-sum game.

But the remaining four children must choose between having all four wishes not fulfilled, or sacrificing one child's wish to fulfill the wishes of the other three children.

Chen Jinnian thought about this, took out the envelope from his pocket, and said to the camera: "Yan Min, okay, you are really something. At the end, you even laid mines for me, played the trolley problem, and shifted the discussion of the value of life to the discussion of the value of desires."

"The guy who wrote the script, humph, don't let me catch you. When I catch you, I will tie you to the tram tracks."

After he finished his resentful mumbling, he opened the envelope and took out the money.

The one in Chen Jinnian's hand is the fourth series of RMB, and its denomination is less than the twenty-yuan banknotes in circulation today.

He handed the hundred-yuan bill in his hand to Huang Lei, "I remember you paid eighty yuan in salary, give me the fifty-yuan bill."

Huang Lei quickly reached into his pocket and handed over a brand new fifty-yuan note.

Chen Jinnian didn't even look at it and handed it directly to Zhang Yixing.

"Children's education is a serious matter. They can't go to school because of fifty yuan, so I gave him this money. As for the hundred yuan that Yixing gave me to buy a TV, I really don't have any money left. I can only give you fifty yuan first. You need to borrow the rest from the other three people."

Chen Jinnian had no hope that Zhang Yixing could borrow fifty yuan from the three people. Given the other party's personality, he might be soft-hearted and have to pay a few hundred yuan.

But Chen Jinnian has no right to take care of what happens later. His mission has been completed and there will be no more shots of him.

Huang Lei was holding a hundred-dollar bill in his hand, immersed in the plot and moved to the point of being unable to control himself. When he was about to say a few words of thanks, he found that Chen Jinnian passed by him like a gust of wind, which made him lose interest in the play in an instant.

"Jinnian, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"We came here on a train, didn't we? I want to tie Yan Min and the entire director team to the tracks and ask him whether he wants the train to kill him or the rest of the director team."

Chen Jinnian ran down the stairs quickly. He thought Yan Min would finish filming this episode honestly. It turned out that he had been busy for a long time, but the last stage was waiting for everyone.

After seeing him leave angrily, Zhang Yixing cautiously asked Huang Lei, "Master, is something wrong?"

"That's what Yan Min deserves. It's fair to say. His move was truly damaging. If we don't handle it well, it will cause a huge outcry. Don't express your opinions later, and don't worry about winning or losing. I'll help you complete the process smoothly."

There was a hint of caution in Huang Lei's eyes.

The problems they are facing now are completely different from the script they saw last night.

The script simply stated, "Timeline: 17:00 PM to 23:00 PM, Location: Factory Family Building, Content: Family drama filming involving laid-off workers encountering difficulties in life, and through mutual help among members, rekindling hope for life, conveying a positive and optimistic attitude."

When Huang Lei saw what was written in the script, he thought it was about activities such as laid-off workers finding new jobs, setting up stalls to make money, or selling enamel door to door to see who had the highest sales.

I didn’t expect that they would lock them up in a building and make them borrow money from each other to play.

If Huang Lei had known it was just empty talk, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to carry those heavy enamel spittoons back.

It wasn't just Huang Lei and Chen Jinnian. Huang Bo and Hong Lei also realized they had been tricked when they returned home and saw their "wives and children".

And the script is so weak, it's full of mistakes.

For example, Huang Bo's daughter wants to buy a piano. He has a savings book with 1,900 yuan and a piano voucher that is about to expire.

Only a hundred dollars is enough to buy a piano.

Huang Bo was not from that era. When he saw the piano ticket, his eyes were stunned for two seconds. Not to mention how he had saved up a huge sum of 1,900 yuan after working for nine years.

That piano ticket alone is a rare and valuable item worth a hundred dollars.

Even the county-level art troupes have to wait in line to apply for piano tickets. How could they have the right to end up in the hands of a grassroots canteen cadre? Even if they did, they would not have kept them until they expired, as they would have been sold on the black market long ago.

If this kind of plot script could normally pass the team's review and be handed to Huang Bo, it would be considered a mistake on the team's part.

But now facing the camera of the variety show, he can only coax his daughter while continuing to act.

"Can we not buy it and continue using the paper piano?"

"But my mother said that if she couldn't buy a piano, she would take me away," said the daughter.

Huang Bo turned around and looked at the broken marriage certificate, which represented his "ended marriage". The program crew really went to great lengths to set him up.

"Okay, since you like buying a piano, then let's buy a piano. Dad just happens to have a hundred dollars left, so let's go buy a piano tomorrow."

"Okay, that's great."

Huang Bo's fatherly love and filial piety didn't last long before Hong Lei came in, knocking on the door.

He turned his head and looked at the other person's appearance. He was most likely here to collect a debt.

Come on, get on with the show.

……

Chen Jinnian went downstairs looking for Yan Min, but did not see him. Perhaps from the wheat on his collar, he got the news in advance and slipped away.

Chen Jinnian searched all the way downstairs but couldn't find the other person.

"Son, here." Su Ying was holding clothes and waved to her son happily after seeing him coming downstairs.

"Mom, why are you here again?" Chen Jinnian quickly turned off the microphone and trotted over. "Didn't I tell you to go back and rest?"

"Come, put on your clothes first. I picked them out especially for you when we were shopping just now." Su Ying held them and asked Chen Jinnian to stretch out his arms to put them on. "Other people bring several assistants with them, but you're recording the show by yourself. Mom is worried."

"It's okay, I can still take care of myself." Chen Jinnian said with a wink, which made Su Ying pat him twice lovingly.

"Your dad has rented a car. We'll all follow the crew and go back together after the filming is over."

Chen Jinnian nodded. He knew that even if he refused, his parents would still follow him. It would be better to finish the filming as soon as possible and leave.
