Chapter 637: Movie
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The entire Jiang family had a New Year’s Eve dinner in the dining room. Then,
Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai went to their grandfather’s courtyard. Jiang Fei and Jiang Hai quickly arrived. The three generations of grandfather and grandson sat around the living room, preparing to watch over the Lunar New Year until midnight.
As the old man was present, Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai did not dare to play with their cell phones. Jiang Fei had long reminded them that the old man did not like people who lowered their heads.
Jiang Hai was reading a magazine while Jiang Fei chatted casually with his father. Occasionally, Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai would join in and say a few words.
Although the atmosphere was not very lively, there was a harmonious warmth. As they were chatting, Jiang Ce, who had not spoken much, suddenly said, “Let’s play a movie.”
Jiang Fei and Jiang Hai were stunned.
Jiang Fei asked Jiang Hai to look for a projector. He asked curiously, “It’s the new year. Dad, why are you suddenly watching a movie?”
“Looking at you guys chatting with an old man like me, it must be quite boring. Why don’t we watch a movie together?”
“Dad, what are you talking about? We don’t feel bored,” Jiang Fei said helplessly. Then, he looked at Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai. “Since we’re watching a movie later, go get something to eat and drink. You’ll probably be hungry later.’
Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai stood up. They discussed for a while and decided to go to the east courtyard to get some snacks they had brought back before going to the kitchen to see what delicious food there was.
On the way to the east courtyard, a cold wind blew in from the corridor. Jiang Kai rubbed his hands and said curiously, “I really don’t know why Grandpa suddenly wants to watch a movie. Look, he doesn’t even have a television. He doesn’t even watch the Spring Festival Gala during the new year.”
The two of them returned with food. The projector was already on the table, and the curtain had been set up.
Jiang Fei looked at his father. “Dad, what movie do you want to watch?”
The old man was silent for a few seconds. Lu Zhen, who was standing beside Jiang Kai, suddenly had a bad feeling. After a while, the old man’s ancient voice sounded. “Let’s find a movie made by Ningning to watch.”
Lu Zhen gasped. Jiang Hai, Jiang Fei, and Jiang Kai were also stunned. Then, Jiang Fei forced a smile and said, “Dad, why don’t you watch my movie? You haven’t seen it yet.”
Jiang Hai added, “That’s right. Dad, aren’t you being a little biased? Xiao Fei has won so many awards for Best Actor, but you don’t watch the movies he leads. Ningning is still a child and hasn’t acted in many movies. Let’s watch Xiao Fei’s movies.”
Lu Zhen knew that Jiang Fei and Jiang Hai were persuading the old man because they did not want her to be embarrassed later.
Although she was an actress and her acting could be watched by the entire country’s audience, this was completely different from watching a movie starring her with her family on New Year’s Eve.
This was not warm at all. This was simply a public execution. In the face of Jiang Hai and Jiang Fei’s persuasion, Jiang Ce was very persistent. He said coldly, “Whoever wants to watch his movie, do so, I want to watch Ningnings movie. Hurry up.”
Jiang Fei sighed and could only look at Lu Zhen. After the father and daughter exchanged a look, Jiang Fei said, “Then let’s watch… 99 Love Letters’.”
Lu Zhen immediately nodded. “Alright.”
In this movie, she had very few scenes. When the family watched the movie later, the execution time would be shorter. Jiang Fei found the movie starring Lu Zhen on his phone. After connecting his phone to the projector, images began to appear on the screen.
Lu Zhen sat on the sofa and felt that every second was difficult. Sometimes, she would watch the scenes she had filmed, but she would basically watch them with a purpose. When she watched them, she would pick on herself and find her shortcomings in acting.
And now, she was watching a movie starring her with her family. It was really hard to describe this feeling.
Lu Zhen tried to think of any scenes in this movie that might make the atmosphere awkward.
Fortunately, the overall style of this movie was more artistic and fresh. There were not many intimate scenes between the male and female leads. As for the scene where Lu Zhen appeared, it was very normal.
After more than 30 minutes, the old man realized that something was wrong.
He frowned and asked, “Where’s Ningning? Why hasn’t she appeared yet?”
Lu Zhen smiled awkwardly. “Grandpa, I’m just a small supporting role inside. I only appeared for a short time.”
Jiang Ce glared at Jiang Fei. “Why don’t you find a movie starring her?”
Jiang Fei explained helplessly, “Dad, Ningning hasn’t filmed many movies in total. The movies she filmed this year haven’t been released yet. Please make do..
