Hot summer, Shudu.
The director of Emei Factory was driving the car, with Han Sisheng sitting in the back.
The current factory director is a young projectionist who joined the factory when Han Sisheng was the factory director.
After so many years, I have finally reached the position of factory director.
The car drove to Luhu Lake, Han Zhou's house, and the factory director said: "Fourth Master, I won't go in. I'll wait for you here."
Han Sisheng waved his hand: "Go back quickly, I won't leave so early, I may stay here for a day."
The factory director was reluctant to leave, so he left the emperor of the film industry here and drove away himself.
Han Sisheng walked into the courtyard carrying a red bag.
In the yard, Han Dongcheng, who was tinkering with landscape bamboo, looked up and saw a little old man walking into his yard. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said enthusiastically: "Finally you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Han Sisheng was confused, but not too confused.
Han Zhou actually showed his photos to his family?
However, it is not surprising that Han Zhou's parents know me, after all, I am also a public figure.
"Haha, I'll just come over to take a look."
Han Dongcheng was suspicious. The electrician came to check without any tools? He didn't solve the problem on the spot? Was the problem a big deal that required an on-site inspection before it could be solved?
These high-tech technologies are troublesome and not as convenient as incandescent lamps.
Han Dongcheng smiled and led Han Sisheng into the house.
Then he turned on the light: "Look, this light won't light up."
Han Sisheng looked up and saw the track lights. His heart skipped a beat. It had been forty-three years since he started working as an electrician.
I have never come into contact with the current lights.
Han Sisheng didn't think there was anything wrong and started observing.
"Do you have a pen?"
Han Dongcheng: This Luhu claims to have good service, but it’s just so-so. The electrician came to check our house and he didn’t even bring an electrician’s pen!
He scratched his head and said, "It seems like there is. My son has a tool room. Although it is rarely used, there are all kinds of tools in it."
Han Sisheng heard it and said, "I'll go take a look."
Han Zhou's tool room.
Soon, Han Sisheng found a full set of equipment and a ladder inside.
Seeing that Han Sisheng was quite old, Han Dongcheng helped carry the ladder .
Han Sisheng smiled and said, "I can still lift the ladder."
Han Dongcheng: "You must be in your early sixties, right?"
Han Sisheng smiled and said, "Sixty-five."
Han Dongcheng nodded: "At such an old age, he still has to work. He has a strong sense of responsibility."
Han Sisheng: Of course. If it weren’t for me, Chinese films would have died countless times.
Mouth: "Haha, serve the people."
Han Sisheng quickly checked the track light with a ladder: "According to my judgment, your fuse is burned out. Where is your electrical box?"
Han Dongcheng immediately took Han Sisheng to see it.
During the process, Shen Chaozhen came back with a basket of vegetables and saw the two people busying around: "Is this easy to do?"
Han Sisheng: "This thing is really hard to find. It's not the fuse that's burned out, it's the circuit breaker that's broken."
"This type of air switch has only been used in China for two or three years. Now I guess you can only buy it at a hardware store, but you may not be able to find it."
Seeing this, Shen Chaozhen said: "Then you guys do it, I'll go cook."
"Stay here with us for lunch."
Han Sisheng looked at Shen Chaozhen and said, "You live in such a big villa, and you still cook for yourselves?"
Shen Chaozhen: "Auntie's grandson is going to attend the Teacher's Day event today, so Auntie has asked for a day off."
Han Sisheng and Han Dongcheng discussed it and decided to go to the hardware store to buy things.
The residential areas nearby are all newly built, and there are no vacant hardware stores like this. In Shudu, I guess only the old stores on the Second Ring Road have them. Han Dongcheng originally planned to ride a motorcycle there, but when he heard that there were no such stores nearby, he had to drive out.
Han Sisheng sat in the passenger seat. To be honest, Han Sisheng himself had never sat in such a high-end car and found it quite new.
Han Dongcheng only knows how to drive it, and he has no idea what many of the function buttons are used for.
Han Sisheng: "Now that your son is famous, you can enjoy the happiness too!"
Han Dongcheng smiled and said, "You can't enjoy happiness anymore. You have to wait until you have a grandchild."
Han Sisheng: "That's difficult. All the big stars in the entertainment industry get married and have children in their thirties or forties."
Han Dongcheng: "Then wait."
Han Sisheng: "So, you are not working now? That's true. Your son makes so much money, so you two don't need to work anymore."
Han Dongcheng, who was driving, shook his head: "I'm not quitting work, I'm retiring."
"I became a traffic policeman in Shudu when I was 20 years old. I have been working in the field for 25 years. I just completed 25 years last year and can retire now."
"Luckily I retired last year. This year, the new rules changed. You have to have thirty years of field service, plus be fifty-five, before you can retire."
Given Han Dongcheng's age, if he had not retired last year, he would have to work in the field for another five years and then stay in the office for another five years before he could apply for retirement.
The two of them bought the circuit breaker, and Han Sisheng installed it very skillfully.
Although Han Sisheng hadn't worked as an electrician for forty years, the crew had plenty of these circuit devices, so he knew how to use these new equipment and repaired the track lights in no time.
Han Dongcheng took out a cigarette and said thank you but he didn't listen.
He also asked Han Sisheng how much he wanted to be paid.
Han Sisheng's brain circuit suddenly became clear and he realized that he had been working as an electrician all morning.
However, Han Sisheng took the money with a smile.
Is it reasonable not to charge for the work ? Of course I have to charge!
After collecting, Han Sisheng said while smoking in the yard: "Han Zhou is really lucky to be born in your family, so he is now very successful in the entertainment industry."
Han Dongcheng seemed to come to his senses.
The tone of voice sounded like he was an old acquaintance of his son?
Han Sisheng: "But when I retire next year, Han Zhou will be under a lot of pressure."
Han Dongcheng looked at Han Sisheng, understood something, and without thinking too much, asked directly: "Who are you?"
"Han Sisheng."
Han Zhou mentioned who Han Sisheng was many times, and Han Dongcheng reacted: "Oh my god~"
I asked the chairman of Huaying Group to help me fix the switch?
At this time, an electrician in work clothes carrying a lot of equipment came to the scene: "Mr. Han? Is Mr. Han home?"
Turning around and seeing Han Dongcheng, he hurriedly said, "Hello, Mr. Han, is the electrician you arranged to come at 11 o'clock?"
Han Dongcheng laughed awkwardly: "We fixed it ourselves. Sorry for bothering you."
The electrician scratched his head and said, "Mr. Han, we at Luhu Property Management provide all services related to house maintenance and repair. You can just let us handle this kind of thing in the future."
In fact, Luhu not only provides these services, but also provides many other services including butler services.
It’s just that Han Dongcheng and his friends are used to doing everything by themselves, so they don’t have much contact with the property management.
After the electrician left, Han Dongcheng looked at Han Sisheng and said apologetically: "Sorry, I thought you were an electrician... Haha, haha, ha..."
Han Sisheng smiled and said, "Don't think that I am an electrician. It was only more than 40 years ago. At that time, I was an electrician in the Emei Factory."
Han Dongcheng certainly knew what was going on with the Emei Factory.
Although the Emei Factory was named this, it was not located in Emei County, Le City, but in Shudu.
However, Han Dongcheng still felt naturally friendly towards this name: "So that's how it is!"
"When I was a kid, I thought the Emei Factory was in Emei. After watching the movie, I ran to Emei, but I didn't find it."
Han Sisheng: "Which movie?"
Han Dongcheng: "Love for the Yangtze River."
Han Sisheng smiled proudly, haha, I took the picture!
Han Sisheng asked cheerfully, "I heard that you grew up in Le City? I used to be an educated youth in Le City and also served in the army there."
Han Dongcheng: "Yes, my family is from Le City."
Han Sisheng confirmed: "Downtown?"
Han Dongcheng nodded: "Downtown."
Han Sisheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Dongcheng: "But when I was very young, I actually lived in Emei County. My family moved to Leshan when I was three years old."
Han Sisheng was stunned.
This...could it be...
Han Sisheng: "I know a lot of people in Emei, maybe I know some of them. You are almost 46 this year, right?"
Han Dongcheng nodded.
Han Sisheng: "What are your parents' names? We are 20 years apart in age, maybe I know your parents."
Han Dongcheng: "Oh, I took my mother's surname, and my father... let's not talk about it."
"My mother's name is Han Shufang."
Han Dongcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it was not the case.
Han Sisheng happily talked about what happened back then.
"I was an educated youth in Longchi, and later I went to the county to serve in the army."
Han Dongcheng : "Longchi? My hometown!"
"Did you know that our hometown is in Taoyuan Village? I went back once before my mother passed away."
Han Sisheng's heart skipped a beat.
Forty-seven years ago, in Taoyuan Village, which young man did Han Sisheng not recognize?
Where did this little girl named Han Shufang come from?
Han Sisheng pretended to be relaxed and said casually: "I know, where is your home?"
Han Dongcheng: "I don't remember clearly, I seem to have heard my mother say... that place is called Dabaishu... or Dabaishan."
Big cypress tree! Han Sisheng took a deep breath.
Big cypress tree!
There are only three families in Dabaishu.
The Huang family lives at the bottom of the slope.
Xiaofang's family lives on the left side of the slope, and Ermei's family lives on the right side of the slope.
Han Sisheng's eyes had changed when he looked at Han Dongcheng.
Han Sisheng said lightly: "I know the big cypress tree. I am very familiar with the Huang family at the bottom of the slope. Is your house on the left or right side of the slope?"
Han Dongcheng: "Left or right on the slope?"
"this……"
Han Dongcheng: "When I went back, the houses in my hometown had all collapsed. Only the mud walls were left in the fields. I couldn't tell left from right."
Han Sisheng took out a cigarette, his fingers were shaking a little, and he failed to light it three times.
Han Dongcheng took out a lighter: "Is your lighter out of gas? Use mine."
He lit up Han Sisheng's cigarette with a click, and then lit one for himself. Then he smiled and joked, "The incense cannot be cut off."
The lighting of a cigarette is just incense.
Han Sisheng's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Han Dongcheng: "But I still remember that my mother said there used to be a big pomelo tree planted in front of the house. I don't know which idiot cut the tree down."
Han Sisheng: “Oh~”
A vibrato of ecstasy.
Han Dongcheng turned around and asked suspiciously: "Is it hot?"
Han Sisheng: "Oh, no, no, I have eaten the pomelo from that pomelo tree, and I still remember it."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Wow, it turns out that Han Dongcheng is my second sister's son.
I was scared to death.
What? My second sister's last name is Han? I didn't know that before!
In the past, I just called her "Second Sister".
When Han Sisheng thought about it carefully now, he realized that he was just a big fool when he went to the countryside.
No wonder they all call the second sister the second sister, and say that the second sister has no brothers or sisters in her family.
It turned out that it was because her second sister's surname was Han and her own surname was also Han, so her friends at that time deliberately called her Second Sister.
Because Xiaofang's name was Xie Xiaofang, and the second sister was also called Shufang, they never told her the second sister's name and always called her the second sister.
Also because I joked that her last name was also Han, she never told me her name.
I have never thought of such a joke in my life.
Han Sisheng was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Your mother used to call me Big Brother."
Han Dongcheng was stunned: "Huh?!"
Han Sisheng: "When I went to the countryside, I lived next door to your house."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, my second sister's son has retired."
Han Dongcheng: "And...this matter?"
Han Sisheng recalled that decades ago, he still wore rubber shoes and could run several kilometers in one trip.
Once I made my second sister cry. I think it was when I went to the fields to catch eels and scared her with a snake.
The two were in the yard, and Han Sisheng told some stories about Han Dongcheng's mother's childhood.
This was the first time Han Dongcheng himself heard these stories.
After Han Sisheng finished speaking, he felt an ominous feeling of old age.
This guy Xie Fu never came back and passed away.
Today I learned that a friend from my youth is no longer with us.
But Xiaofang still has no information.
Han Sisheng looked at the lake in front of the villa and asked, "How do you spend your time after retirement?"
Han Dongcheng pointed to the lake and said, "Fishing."
Han Sisheng: "Is fishing fun?"
Han Dongcheng slapped his thigh: "That's so fun!"
Han Sisheng: "Let me try?"
Han Dongcheng brought the nesting materials and scattered them forward.
Han Sisheng picked up the fishing rod and said, "Is it time to put the bait on and go fishing?"
Han Dongcheng shook his head: "Anywhere is fine. Sprinkle the bait to gather the fish and let them come to this area."
"Generally speaking, you should prepare the bait one or two days in advance, and then prepare some more bait when you go fishing, and then go fishing again half an hour later."
"I haven't had time to fish these past two days, and I haven't made any bait, so forget about catching big fish. Now I'm using rice and wine bait, so it's ok to catch some small fish, but I have to wait an hour."
"I guess it will be fine after we have dinner."
Speaking of this, Han Dongcheng was shocked to remember that he had not told Shen Chaozhen that Han Sisheng came to his house!
Han Dongcheng used the excuse of going to the bathroom and ran to the kitchen to talk to Shen Chaozhen.
Shen Chaozhen was also dumbfounded and complained: "Tell me, are you an idiot?"
"You can't even tell the difference between an electrician and the chairman of Huaying Group."
Han Dongcheng: "..."
"Have you figured it out?"
"Who would have thought that the chairman of Huaying Group would wear a T-shirt given by the senior activity center?"
Shen Chaozhen: “…”
"You asked someone to turn on the light bulb for you, how could you come up with this..."
Han Dongcheng: "I didn't turn on the light bulb, I changed the fuse..."
"Hey, why are you talking about this? Hurry up and add more food..."
When Han Dongcheng returned to the dock, his heart was bleeding.
My own fishing rod was broken and lying on the ground.
Han Sisheng squatted on the ground to study it. Seeing Han Sisheng coming, he said embarrassedly: "Oh, I broke it for you. I'll compensate you with one later."
Han Dongcheng: "Oh, no need, what's the point of compensation? It's not worth the money."
Han Sisheng had often encountered this situation before. Generally speaking, the other party would say: "You didn't break it. It was broken by itself. I forgot to throw it away. Didn't it hurt you?" I'm so sorry!
Han Sisheng thought to himself that Han Dongcheng was really an honest man.
After dinner, Han Sisheng and Han Dongcheng went fishing at the dock.
Han Sisheng then asked about Han Zhou.
Han Sisheng said that Han Zhou is now a big shot, no one in the entertainment industry can do anything to him, he is invincible, and he doesn't have to worry about work at all.
A man who had never fished before was fishing under the sun while chatting with others.
The harvest can be imagined.
When Han Sisheng was dragging the bait, the fishhook jumped up and got caught on the back of his hand.
Fortunately, the blood vessel was not hooked and the barb did not penetrate.
After spending an entire afternoon, Han Sisheng realized that he was not suitable for fishing.
…
After congratulating his mother on her birthday, Han Sisheng came to the home of an old sculptor in Cangxi County.
Han Sisheng still remembers that when he was a child, he saw him carving private seals for others on the side of the road.
At that time, Han Sisheng thought this was very cool and wanted to learn it.
Now, decades have passed, and the old man's disciples are all quite old.
Han Sisheng went to learn carving.
The old man's apprentice scratched his head and finally demonstrated how to carve a seal with an electronic engraving machine.
With a gentle pull of the pole, the name was carved out with a clattering sound.
Han Sisheng went to learn from his master, whose carving technique was difficult to describe.
Han Sisheng finally found the old man who carved the private seal that he had seen that year. He is now in his eighties.
Han Sisheng followed and studied for the whole afternoon.
The eighty-year-old grandfather has hands as steady as a dog. When he draws a line with a carving knife, it will never be crooked. If he adds two centimeters plus three millimeters, it will not be half a millimeter more.
Han Sisheng himself took a step forward with the carving knife, and with a "click", a corner of the material he was carving flew off.
…
After returning to Yanjing, Han Sisheng persuaded his neighbor Teacher Li to take him to the park to dance.
He was caught on the spot by Aunt Zheng and Lao Li's wife.
The two people couldn't use the electric fan in the hot summer, so they could only squat in the corridor and smoke with a palm-leaf fan, which was seen by all the residents in the building.
…
After returning to the crew, Han Sisheng suggested that everyone should have some fun together.
When several people heard that Han Sisheng was going to hold an event, they immediately recommended playing Poker, with a minimum bet of 10,000 and no upper limit, and they were prepared to give Han Sisheng several million.
Han Sisheng: “???”
…
Hearing that the photographer was good at painting, Han Sisheng went to learn from him.
I found out that learning sketching requires arranging lines. I spent the whole night arranging them but couldn’t draw two parallel lines.
…
Hearing that the producer was an expert at playing chess, Han Sisheng went to learn from him, but found that he didn't even know how he died.
…
Han Sisheng is now in an old age crisis.
To sum it up in one sentence, what can I do after retirement?
Han Sisheng discovered that he would make movies in this life, his second skill was being an electrician, and his third skill was eating.
Han Sisheng spent half a year struggling to find something to do after retirement.
I went for a walk in the park and found that the uncles in the park were simply not human. They were all the reincarnation of Qiao Feng. The whole park didn't feel like a park, but more like a dusk version of an acrobatic troupe.
When he went to play shuttlecock, others tried their best to play fancy moves, but Han Sisheng could never get past the fourth move.
I have walked countless roads and thought of countless things that the elderly should play with.
There is no one that suits me.
…
The twenty-eighth day of the lunar year.
After the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Han Zhou went to Han Sisheng's house.
Han Jiaxin also returned home at the end of the year. Han Zhou and Han Jiaxin discussed "Dying to Survive" for an hour and a half.
Han Sisheng couldn't help but sit in for an hour and a half.
The more I listen, the more excited I get, and the more addicted I get, I can't wait to film it myself.
After the discussion, Han Zhou said, "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."
"After the New Year, please go to the Human Resources and Social Security Department and discuss how to put the film under the official name. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shoot it, you know."
Han Sisheng: "You guys only know how to take advantage of others. I'm already retired."
Han Zhou: "Uncle, why don't you come to the New World?"
"After you retire, you won't be involved in the film industry anymore?"
Han Sisheng: "What kind of movies have I not seen in my life? That's enough. I'm not going to do it anymore."
Han Zhou took out a printed script and said, "Uncle, take a look."
Han Sisheng started reading the script.
…
The first day of the Lunar New Year, Luowangfu Cinema, Hall No. 1.
Han Zhou: "Fourth Uncle has now retired from the position of Chairman of Huaying Group. However, New World has specially invited Fourth Uncle to serve as the group's film department consultant. We would like to announce this news at the premiere of Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World."
"Uncle, please say a few words."
At the scene, hundreds of actors who came to support the show said: "Ah?!!"
Do you really think Han Sisheng is just an old man after retirement? Now that Han Sisheng has retired, he has joined New World? This...
Damn...
After the new world, won’t it take off?!
What the audience was thinking was: "Han Sisheng? Who is he? I don't know him."
"Hurry up and start watching the movie!"
"Let me see what the movie version of Nezha looks like!"
At this time, in Hall No. 1, many people were taking photos, and even quite a few were making vlogs. Among them, there were a large number of people from various countries who were not Chinese movie fans.
Among these people, there are many big film bloggers from the United States, Europe and other places.
What are these people so excited about and looking forward to this movie?
This story can only be told clearly by going back to October.
October.
Los Angeles, USA.
