133: Fallacies and heresies
Everything unfolded under Han Wen's control. Shortly after Han Qingyan's birthday banquet ended, the female knight returned to her hometown in Shandong and joined the crew of "The White-Browed Hero" to begin filming the TV series.
This time, the heroine didn't take a plane or a train; instead, she drove her beloved Toyota sports car back.
Han Wen knew she was deliberately driving it back to show off, but he didn't care. Just like when he made money in Shanghai, he needed someone to share it with.
With Zhou Ning absent, he chose his mother. The female warrior, on the other hand, chose her parents, relatives, crew members, and actors.
Wealth and honor do not lead to returning home; now, fine clothes are worn in the dark.
Although the female warrior hasn't become a huge star, she's at least on the path of acting. She's already become a real actress, which is something to be proud of.
Not long after the female knight-errant left, Yao Girl also got busy. The sudden surge in popularity of "Plum Blossom Mark" across mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia caught her completely off guard, leaving her utterly overwhelmed with work.
She was originally a "Qiong Yao Girl" (a term referring to actresses who rose to fame through the novels "Qiong Yao"). Qiong Yao still prioritized casting her in any new dramas, and didn't neglect her just because she broke up with her former employer.
After all, there's still a sense of connection between the actors and the trainees.
As a result, the "Plum Blossom Variation" that she and Han Wen had been longing for never even got a chance to think about, let alone implement it.
Once the female knight and the Yao girl were both busy, the house naturally became quiet.
The equally busy sweet girl finally found an opportunity to secretly date Hanwen.
Unfortunately, Han Wen doesn't have much time to spend with his sweetheart because he's busy honing his acting skills.
They only dabble in it briefly, and are satisfied with just a taste.
Good things should be savored slowly. He already has quite a few women around him. One more sweet girl won't make a difference, and one less sweet girl won't make a difference either.
Therefore, he regarded the sweet girl as his treasure, preparing to slowly explore and develop her.
After attending Han Qingyan's birthday party, Jiang Wen took the opportunity to test Han Wen's acting skills. He was greatly impressed and amazed, praising him profusely.
However, he immediately invited Ma Jinwu, a senior professor in the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy, to be Han Wen's teacher. He even went so far as to say: "Learning has no end, and we should strive for perfection."
Jiang Wen is already a double winner of the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, and his acting skills are unmatched. It's completely understandable that he values his work, is responsible to Han Wen, the investor, and has high expectations for Han Wen, the male lead.
It's said that an experienced veteran is worth two men. But when Professor Ma took the field, he practically beat Han Wen to a pulp. Left with no other choice, he had to bite the bullet and go for it.
Fortunately, he had eaten countless small meals with Teacher Yu, which greatly improved his skills and made him very strong, so he wasn't completely crushed by Professor Ma's superb acting skills.
As for Teacher Yu, she spends almost every day with Han Wen. During the day, she helps him hone his acting skills, and at night she takes him home to continue their acting practice.
She was a competent teacher, teaching diligently and effectively. However, her planned trip abroad was repeatedly delayed.
First, she genuinely couldn't bear to leave Korean. Second, the school hadn't approved her resignation yet. However, she would have to leave once a new teaching assistant arrived.
"Around August or September, at the latest, it won't be until the end of the year," Teacher Yu said to Han Wen. "After I go abroad, the only time I can see you is in my dreams."
"Teacher Yu, I knew you'd be reluctant to leave me at the last minute, and I was right." Han Wen smiled: "Why don't you stay here? It's fine here."
You can teach, act, you can earn money. If that doesn't work out, I can still support you.
"You've supported me for too long. Even if I'm your kept woman, I don't want you to continue supporting me." Teacher Yu shook her head: "Going abroad for further studies is a plan I made a long time ago. So, I will absolutely not change it for you."
Even if I'm just going out for a short trip, I'll make sure I spend all my money before coming back. Since you have plenty of money, I'll spend it for you.
Han Wen knew that Teacher Yu was joking with him, but he couldn't deny that the relaxed atmosphere made him feel very comfortable.
"In a while, I'll be joining a film crew, and I'll be really busy then." He thought about the time for a moment before saying, "Remember to let me know when you go abroad, and I'll drive you there."
When you get abroad, you must call me to let me know you've arrived safely.
Remember, when you're abroad alone, you must take good care of yourself. If you run out of money, tell me, and I'll send you money immediately. If anything happens, tell me, and even if I can't go, I'll send someone to bring you back.
"You're so rich, why didn't you give me a large sum of money in advance?" Teacher Yu asked curiously.
"It's not safe for a woman like you to have too much money. Although I don't know much about the situation abroad, it's certainly not much better than in China."
My mother was an investor and producer of "Beijingers in New York". She spent a few months abroad with the crew and is very familiar with the situation overseas.
She wouldn't lie to me, and naturally I won't lie to you. Don't read newspapers, magazines, or watch TV programs. Many of the reports about foreign countries there are untrue.
You can spend my money. However, I'm afraid if I give you too much at once, you'll spend it with other men. Then I'd be at a huge loss.
You want money? Easy, just come back to China sooner. I'll buy you a car, start a company, or even give you cash.
However, the premise is that you don't cheat on me or betray me; this is my bottom line as a man.
"I don't care about other women, but I must keep my own woman in the right place." Han Wen explained earnestly, "Teacher Yu, we have a very deep emotional foundation. I hope you can walk with me through this life."
"Hanwen, we're actually not a very good match," Teacher Yu replied after thinking for a moment.
"A match made in heaven, a perfect union, everyone hopes for it. But in reality, relationships between men and women involve constant adjustments, compromises, understanding, and tolerance." Han Wen smiled: "Teacher Yu, we've actually adjusted to each other quite a bit already, haven't you noticed?"
Teacher Yu was annoyed that Han Wen was making lewd jokes at her again, but she couldn't do anything about it.
You can't judge a book by its cover. She was fooled by Han Wen's appearance back then.
If she had known that Han Wen was such a lecherous man, she would have screamed until she was hoarse that day to prevent him from succeeding.
Now it's too late, even if I regret it.
"Hanwen, Feifei and Yaoyao are both busy. After I go abroad, when you won't have any women around you, will you start looking for targets again?" Teacher Yu asked with a smile.
"We'll see. You can't expect me to be a eunuch forever. Besides, my mom's eager to have a grandson."
"I'm a very filial person, and I can't bear to see her unhappy," Han Wen replied.
"Han Wen, how could you be so shameless?" Teacher Yu was speechless.
"Why? Because you all indulged me," Han Wen replied. "Every time you yielded, I took an inch and went a mile. Every time you submitted, I became lawless."
"You are at least half responsible for my becoming so lecherous."
"Distorted and heretical." Teacher Yu was dumbfounded.
