As the Spring Festival gradually fades away and when all office workers have to set off to the company, the holiday ends quietly.

But for students, they still have a lot of balances for winter vacation!

Zhang Chu had to wait until the Lantern Festival to start school, but now he had to go to Yanjing in advance.

The decoration of the Siheyuan requires him to read it, especially the virtual design drawings that require him to make a decision before the construction can be carried out.

In addition, Director Xu Ji's studio is also trying to seize the time and invite Zhang Chu to participate in the first round of secret movie watching meeting.

"Farewell My Concubine" was filmed last year.

Now after several months of careful editing, soundtracking, and color tuning, Xu Ji intends to invite industry insiders to see how the rough cut version is!

The special theme of the novel makes it a little sensitive. It tells about the national quintessence and Peking Opera, and also tells about the social turmoil since the end of the Republic of China, but the focus is on the love, hate, and hatred of two men.

See the big ones from the small, and reflect the changes in the entire society with the tinies of the individual!

If you can shoot well, it will definitely be called a classic.

Zhang Chu brought this novel here from the earth and handed it over to Xu Ji for director, so he really wanted to know what the story had been adapted into.

Therefore, he did not stay at Jiangcheng's home for too long, and arrived in Yanjing on the evening of the ninth day of the Chinese New Year.

The New Year atmosphere is still there, and the whole city becomes lively with the return of office workers.

"I'm finally back, I don't know what the family is like!"

Zhang Chu did not bring the matcha back, and the little guy will follow Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan to Yanjing during the Lantern Festival.

Because these two people never knew about him spending more than 100 million yuan to buy the Siheyuan. It was not until one day when Zhou Kang came to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Bowen and chatted with him and said he had missed it.

What does it feel like to spend so much money to buy a courtyard house?

Anyway, Zhang Bowen felt it hurts, but at the same time he also felt it was very refreshing!

Because there are fewer and fewer courtyards in the four worlds now, they have gradually become a cultural symbol.

If you don’t live by yourself, it’s good to buy it as an investment.

So the couple was about to come and see Zhang Chu's courtyard during the Lantern Festival to see what's special about the house that cost such a lot of money.

After finally coming back, Liu Wei took some photos of Zhang Chu's return to Beijing at the airport and went home excitedly.

Less than a quarter of the rooms in the huge community have lights on, and the lights in the distance are still brilliant.

Zhang Chu simply cleaned up the room, and the only thing left was to let the housekeeping company clean up tomorrow. Now he can sleep for one night!

I have never suffered any sins in my previous life. Even if I make a lot of money in this life, I will not be able to develop a disease of wealth in an instant.

The journey made him extremely tired. Now, let alone typing, he doesn't even want to move his mouse when playing games.

Sitting on the sofa, my eyes were dull and I watched the program on the "Exploration and Discovery" channel on the TV, and I had no idea what I was watching.

...

The United States on the other side of the earth is ushering in dawn.

The snow in New York began to melt under the sunlight in winter, but the pedestrians on the street were all dressed very thickly, with scarves, coats, hats, and cold-resistant equipment.

Adam shook the snowflakes that did not exist on his body. The air conditioner inside the building was very hot, which almost started to sweat.

"Mr. Wilson, please come with me."

The mixed-race beauty in a lady's suit at the front desk led Adam to the elevator door and reminded him, "Mr. Bei is already waiting for you."

"Thank you." Adam smiled politely.

He is very curious about this legendary architectural firm, but it seems that it is not much different from ordinary American companies at present.

As a reporter for USA Today, Adam came this time to interview Mr. Beginming’s two sons.

Originally, his goal was to interview Mr. Bei Jinming, but he was over 100 years old and he has refused any social activities so he can only settle for the second best.

Bei's Architecture was founded in 1992 by Bei Jinming's two sons and is currently responsible for designing many major projects.

Although Bei Jinming obtained American nationality, he was actually a very traditional person. He named his three sons very Chinese, namely Dingzhong, Jianzhong and Lizhong.

These three sons all inherited their father's business. The deceased eldest son Bei Dingzhong is an urban planner. Today, they are interviewed by Bei Jianzhong and Bei Lizhong.

Adam carefully reviewed the complicated full names of the two in his heart, "chien chung (jianzhong), li chung (lizhong), it sounds quite interesting."

Perhaps because the names of these two people are too difficult to pronounce, the names of these two people are not mentioned much in the architectural circle that are familiar with them.

On the contrary, when my parents were young, their nicknames became widely known labels!

In the United States and even in the global architectural design circle, you may not know who Chien Chung is, but you will definitely know who Didi and Sandi are.

The nicknames are mixed into big names. Perhaps Chinese people can’t help laughing after hearing how foreigners call these two 60-70-year-olds. They are completely taking advantage of these two old people!

The whole world calls them younger brother and third brother.

Since I was going to interview them, Adam was naturally well prepared, so he specifically checked the stories behind these two names.

Adam originally thought that these two architects would be typical Chinese, but after contacting them, he found that even though they were humble, gentle and polite, they spoke and thought in a pure American way, and his accent was even more authentic than that of the Americans who were all Americans of the five generations of his ancestors!

"Mr. Beijinming has celebrated his 100th birthday. How is his physical condition?"

"USA Today" was originally aimed at Bei Jinming. Even though Bei Jianzhong and Bei Lizhong are quite famous in the construction circle, they are still far from their dad.

Bei Jianzhong was not surprised at all when facing Adam's question, which was obviously a must-ask question.

"He is in good health, but after all, he is a centenarian. Even if he can still walk, he can't walk too much. We go to visit his father every week, and he is in good condition."

After the topic is put on Bei Jinming, it is difficult to change it. Looking at the father from the perspective of his son, whether it is a father in life or work.

Adam asked in light of the current hot topics: "When Mr. Beg designed the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre, were you also in the design team?"

"Yes, I was a co-operative design and construction consultant at that time. I watched the pyramid from scratch, and people in Paris from disgust to like it."

Bei Jianzhong responded humorously that it was indeed a lot of pressure to take on this project.

After the president decided to choose this design plan, all social classes in France were boycotting.

Even during construction, many people spontaneously marched around the Louvre and refused to accept this brand new building!

Adam's eyes were slightly shiny, and he was indeed not looking for the wrong person!

The two brothers in front of us are not only part of the design team, but also participated in the construction team on site. They will probably have the right to answer the next questions.

"There is a novel about the Louvre that is very popular recently. I wonder if you have read it. The content about the Glass Pyramid has caused considerable controversy."

Belley is already almost seventy years old, but he still has a naughty side. He replied: "You should be talking about "The Da Vinci Code"? I am very happy to see such a novel that gives it a lot of deep content."

"Actually, my grandson recommended it to us when he first saw this book. But because he was busy with work, he didn't finish reading it until January this year. The content written in it was very excellent. I was as amazed as all readers. It turned out that I could still interpret it in this way!"

"Indeed, those glass pyramids have been given a lot of connotations in the novel. Have you considered these when designing them?" Adam had a premonition that his report might have a good amount of attention.

Bei Jianzhong glanced at his younger brother, then shook his head: "We have considered aesthetics, light, and culture, but it is different from the content in the novel "The Da Vinci Code". The pyramid facing upwards and downwards is not to suggest the Holy Grail or the blade, and there is no legendary Holy Grail hidden under the pyramid."

That's the truth, the novel will exaggerate fiction.

Use swear words to tell the lie as if it is true, making it difficult for readers to distinguish between true and false!

Even though many people knew that there was no corpse under the small pyramid, when they visited the Louvre, they couldn't help but feel pilgrimage.

"What do you think of that novel?"

“A great pastime reading.”

Adam then asked: "There has been a very popular petition on the Internet recently, and that is, netizens are curious about how the designer of the glass pyramid, that is, your father, Mr. Bei Jinming, views this novel. Has Mr. Bei read this novel?"

Bellizhong replied confidently: "I've seen it."

"Although my father's eyesight has deteriorated a lot, he still insists on reading every day. I remember one time when we were home for dinner on the weekend, I saw my father reading the book in a wheelchair."

This answer was slightly beyond Adam's expectations. He thought that Mr. Beth probably had never heard of "The Da Vinci Code", but he had never expected to watch it!

"My father did not make any comments, but finished reading this book."

Good or bad?

There is no way to know the answer.

But the secret of the Glass Pyramid was not revealed until the end of the novel. If you have the patience to read a book to the end, you are most likely attracted by it!

Adam was very happy. Although he was asking the next question seriously, it was actually not important anymore.

...

"USA Today": [Exclusive] Mr. Beginming praised his son after reading "The Da Vinci Code".

Shortly after Adam returned to the New York editorial department, he wrote down the content of his interview and posted it on the official website.

Although there is a lot of content in it talking about Chinese and Western education, and how the two brothers Bei Jianzhong received influence from their father and embarked on the path of architectural designers, the most prominent one is their discussion of Zhang Chu's novel!

Except for people in the architectural design industry, no one cares about the environment these two people grew up in.

However, how Bei Jinming evaluates "Da Vinci Code" has always been a hot topic on the Internet.

This can be seen from the support volume of previous petition activities!

So today, after the staff in charge of Twitter account operation in the United States briefly summarized the interview content using this topic, there are many people following the Twitter link to jump to the official website to read the complete news.

"Mr. Bei has finished reading it?"
