In the next half month, people from the Cheng family returned from abroad one after another. Some of them were picked up by the aunt and nephew. If they were too busy, they arranged for company employees to pick them up.

Except for a few elderly people who want to talk more together, not everyone wants to live on a horse farm in the countryside. Most of them make do by staying in a hotel or renting a short-term apartment.

The Cheng family was operating overseas, and although they made some money, they were not able to spend money like water.

The August schedule is very deserted, after all, no one will fight to the death to compete with the Olympics to compete for audiences.

But one person made an exception and broke into the August slot.

Let's talk about Wang Yuelun's "Nine Beauties". The basic narrative of this film is still coherent, but it just doesn't look good. The baggage is thrown away too bluntly, and it has obviously not been carefully polished.

But just like that, Wang Yuelun still took over 7 million at the box office in the first weekend.

There are four movies scheduled throughout August, and the only one worth watching is "The Incredible Hulk," which will be released on the 20th.

If Cheng Yu'an hadn't been reluctant, he really wanted to put "Painted Skin" in August and kill Wang Yuelun.

Why should a film like "Nine Beauties" be allowed to earn 52 million at the box office?

Just kidding, this is the only film Yue Lun has, so I’d better save it for him.

On the eve of the Olympic Games, Cheng Yu'an received an invitation from South Korea's CJ Entertainment and KBS, asking him to go to South Korea at the end of the month to discuss important business. Cheng Yu'an happened to be going to South Korea to see the special effects of "The Martian," so he easily agreed.

South Korea's special effects are really good, at least they are leading domestically now.

Some of the visual effects shots for "The Martian" were shot in South Korea.

Back home, Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Yu'an, aunts and nephews, as outstanding representatives of the film and television industry, had the honor to run a section of the torch relay.

Everyone got a torch with their own number as a souvenir.

The Olympics is a public relations exercise.

It is a public relations exercise that shows the new face of China to the world.

In the 21st century, a large number of foreigners still think that our living conditions are still in the 1950s and 1960s, or even in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

This Olympic Games is an opportunity to showcase to the international community.

Two days before the opening ceremony, Cheng Yu'an celebrated his eightieth birthday at the racecourse in accordance with the old man's wishes.

In addition to the Cheng family, only a few people were invited to the birthday banquet: Liu Yifei attended as a close friend in the industry, accompanied by Liu's mother (both of them did not want to be made public for the time being), Qin Hailu also took a day off from the crew of "Latent" to specially come to give gifts, and Zhou

The young master was so idle that he rushed over to join in the fun. Professor Hou Kenming, Brother Hu came over from the crew of "Sword and Sword III", Lu Zheng and Jing Tian came uninvited, and the unprecedented Tian Tian's parents also came.

Everyone else could say that the arrival of Tiantian's family was really beyond Cheng Yu'an's expectation.

The old man didn't want to make a big deal, but Cheng Yu'an's uncle said it must be done, and Cheng Yu'an also meant the same. It was his eightieth birthday, so there was no reason not to do it.

Cheng Yu'an Yiyi introduced the few people who came to Grandpa. When they introduced Hou Kenming, the old man said many words of gratitude to Professor Hou: "We as elders are not around the children, thanks to Teacher Hou for taking care of us. I am really grateful to Teacher Hou."

"

Hou Keming was not arrogant, he held the old man's hand and said you were welcome: "I like this kid Yu'an, and treat him as my own. If the old man says this, he will leave."

Then came Liu Yifei. What a fine old man. Although the two of them had not made it public, the old man had already guessed it. He took Liu Yifei's hand and whispered: "I have decided that you are my wife. You and Yu'an should be good."

Liu Yifei was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head. She hummed softly, but she didn't know if the old man heard it.

Then came Jing Tian. Cheng Yu'an introduced: "Sir, this is Tian Tian. We from Sanqin are here to wish you a happy birthday today."

"Okay, okay." The old man also took Jing Tian's hand and looked at the girl, "This girl looks very familiar. What's your last name?"

"Grandpa Cheng, my surname is Jing."

"Scenery?" Grandpa Cheng seemed to remember something.

The grandfather sitting next to him smiled and said, "Did the family next door to us have the surname Jing?"

"Yes, yes, your surname is Jing." Grandpa Cheng asked Jing Tian again, "Who are you, Jing XX?"

"This is my grandpa. Do you know my grandpa?"

At this time, Lu Zheng and Tiantian's parents also walked up.

The three grandpas laughed, especially the third grandpa, who patted Cheng Yuan.

"You are the only one in your family?" Grandpa Cheng asked again.

"Yeah." Tiantian nodded.

The two grandfathers laughed even more happily.

"Yu'an, do you remember that I told you that I had arranged a baby wedding for you?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yifei, who was standing aside, became nervous instantly.

Although things like baby kissing have been eliminated a long time ago, it would be quite troublesome if someone took it seriously. It would be even more difficult if the older generation believed it.

Of course Cheng Yu'an remembered it, but he didn't take it to heart: "Who is still interested in this in what age?"

"That's what you said." The grandpa took over the words, "Your daughter is the baby girl who was destined for you at the beginning." The grandpa pointed at Tiantian.

Tiantian's parents also reacted: "I heard from the elders in the family that they have this relative."

"Ah!" Tiantian is only 20 years old. Although she has just begun to fall in love, she never thought that she would have a baby kiss.

Cheng Yu'an definitely disagreed: "This is something that happened in old age and cannot be taken seriously. I have always regarded Tiantian as my sister."

Well, good sister.

The real girlfriend and her mother are watching from the side, and if you answer wrong at this time, you will die without a place to die.

Tiantian's parents may not take this matter to heart, not to mention that their daughter is still young, and they immediately said that the old man made it as a joke.

But Lu Zheng was different. Lu Zheng knew Cheng Yuan's importance, and he also knew that Cheng Yuan was a little dissatisfied with him for giving Tiantian the role of "Anaconda". He felt that he had nominated her for the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards, so she turned

Taking on a bad movie like "Anaconda" is a sign of ruin for yourself.

Lu Zheng was determined to repair his relationship with Cheng Yu'an, so he smiled and said: "Although it was a promise made in old age, and I don't like it now, it is also a symbol of the good relationship between the two families. I think Tiantian and Director Cheng can cooperate more in the future." In fact, he

I want to say that the two of them can interact more, but considering that Tiantian's parents are still there, they have no shame in bringing them together.

If it wasn't really inappropriate, Lu Zheng would have wanted Tiantian to just change her name to grandpa.

What Lu Zheng didn't know was that Liu Yifei on the side had already scolded him in her heart.

Although it was Grandpa Cheng Yu'an's birthday, it was the three grandpas who received the gift together.

First, the descendants, Uncle Cheng Yuan, kowtowed to the three old people.

Then came the grandchildren, that is, Cheng Yuan's generation. Wu Yangyang knelt down for half the room and kowtowed to the three grandfathers.

Finally, there are the great-grandchildren, some grown up and some still in their infancy. Those who can be kneaded can be kneaded, and those who cannot be knelt are left alone.

It was okay not to be disrespected, but after receiving the courtesy from his children and grandchildren, Grandpa Cheng actually wanted to cry. He pulled Cheng Yuan and said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for your father."

As mentioned before, Cheng Yu'an's father wanted to study art when he was young, but his grandmother opposed it. His father died of depression and died young. His mother also ran away from home when Cheng Yu'an was a little older.

"I called your mother a few days ago and told her that I was 80 years old and had only a few days left to live. I wanted your mother to come back, but your mother still refused to forgive me." Cheng Yu'an's parents were a lifelong worry for his grandfather.

"Why are you talking about this on such a happy day?" Cheng Yu'an was not in a position to persuade her at this time. Instead, the third grandfather said, "Yu'an, find some time to go see your mother."

"Yeah, I'll go."

The birthday banquet went on smoothly, and the three old people happily drank a little wine tonight - they were not allowed to drink normally.
