Chapter 910 906 The Future? What Does It Have to Do with Me?

Chapter 910 906. The future? What does it have to do with me?

"What is the current housing price in Shijia Hutong?"

Yang Ying asked, looking at the gate of Xu's house after not coming here for a long time.

Huang Xiaoming thought about it and estimated:

"How much... 30 to 50 million? Aren't the three courtyards connected together? It's estimated to be over 100 million."

As he said this, he parked the car on the curb at the door.

It was obvious that he didn't plan to drive in.

Yang Ying didn't care. After getting off the car, she planned to walk in. She had been here many times, so it was nothing new.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Huang Xiaoming saw this and quickly stopped him, then went around to the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz.

"......?"

Yang Ying was stunned, and saw her fiancé carrying a teddy bear with a very delicate outer packaging from the trunk, and a toy box that looked like some kind of robot.

"When did you buy it?"

She was a little surprised.

"After New Year's Day, I bought it and prepared it. I have to come sooner or later, to bring it to the children."

Holding toys that were obviously for Nuannuan and Yangyang, he pointed at the door:

"Knock on the door."

...

"Brother... since you are here, what else do you want to take?"

In the daily politeness, Xu Xin took the things from Huang Xiaoming's hand.

In fact, these toys may not be absent at home, but they are also people's hearts... Damn, Optimus Prime!

So big! ?

I want it.

Xu Xin, who felt relieved immediately, quickly invited the two guests into the house.

"Come in, come in...You entertain them, and take this in too."

He handed the teddy bear in his hand directly to his wife, and then after Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying entered the house, he turned around and took the Transformers directly to his studio.

As for Yangyang, when he came back and found that there was only a teddy bear, and no share for him...

Baby, you have to learn to share!

This gift is to teach you two how to share toys.

Well, it's perfect.

When they returned to the living room, Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming had already sat at the tea table.

Pour tea first when you enter the house.

He sat down to accompany the guests and said with a smile:

"Brother, can you have a drink at noon?"

"No problem."

Huang Xiaoming readily agreed:

"We haven't had a drink together for a long time. We must not leave until we are drunk this time."

"Haha, of course. Today is a family dinner, so we must drink comfortably..."

Strictly speaking, everyone is "friends", so the relationship is not so alienated. In addition, the couple's attitude towards guests is also very clear. Yang Dalin went to buy vegetables after sending the children to school early in the morning.

Today's dishes must be home-cooked dishes, which are nothing more than pork, beef, mutton and fish.

People are not eating for the taste of the dishes, but mainly to keep in touch.

Family dinners can best reflect attitudes.

Otherwise, if you really want to be more business-like, you can go out to eat, or invite a professional chef team to cook at home.

But sometimes home-cooked dishes can better reflect the "intimate" relationship and attitude.

As people in the industry, after getting to know each other, the topic inevitably turned to the film and television industry.

As they chatted, they talked about "Exorcist".

"Brother, "Exorcist" will be released soon, right? Have you seen the finished film?"

"Not yet."

Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"But the copy is already in the factory. Wait until the annual meeting, take some time to go back and let me take a look... Brother, are you interested?"

"I am indeed interested."

Huang Xiaoming nodded slightly while holding a teacup:

"On the one hand, it's a movie by Stephen Chow, I definitely want to see it. On the other hand... the people from China Film Group actually contacted me at the end of the Gregorian calendar, wanting to shoot a serious historical theme of Journey to the West movie, the kind with Xuanzang as the main perspective."

Xu Xin was stunned:

"The kind of Journey to the West?"

"Yes. The project has been approved and the script has begun to be written. But the role has been decided, and it is me who will play it. It is estimated that... within two years, it can be started."

"Well... then it's useless for Senior Brother to study other Journey to the West-themed movies, right? "A Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" is more realistic."

"The main thing is that I can't figure out the audience's taste... What's more, I think that no matter how serious the historical theme is, it is always next to Journey to the West. I'm actually afraid that the audience will feel a sense of gap."

"Audiences will definitely feel a sense of gap with this kind of theme. After all, when it comes to Xuanzang's Journey to the West, in the minds of the public, "Journey to the West" must be more realistic than "A Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty". Although it is not clear whether it is just a script, but when you say the theme is a serious historical type, my first reaction is "what will happen without Sun Wukong"."

"Yes, that's what I'm afraid of..."

The topic about "Journey to the West" began.

As for Yang Mi and Yang Ying, Yang Mi's habit is that when her husband talks about film and television, especially about creation, she usually doesn't interrupt.

She can play a role well, but if she wants to participate in the creation... she can't take on this kind of porcelain work for the time being.

As for Yang Ying...

She just doesn't understand at all.

"The Great Tang Records on the Western Regions" was written by Tang Monk?

Then who wrote "Journey to the West"?

Huh?

Who wrote it?

At this time, Xu Xin said:

"If I remember correctly, Xuanzang's hometown seems to be Luoyang, Henan, right?"

Yang Ying was confused again.

Xuanzang is not from Xi'an?

"His real name seems to be Chen... Chen..."

For a moment, Xu Xin suddenly couldn't remember Xuanzang's real name.

At this time, Yang Mi spoke:

"Chen Yi."

As she spoke, she began to pour the fourth cup of tea for everyone.

"Yeah."

Xu Xin nodded:

"Chen Yi, his character is quite unfamiliar. At first I thought it was Nian Wei. Next to the character, Wei Yixiao was added. Senior brother, since you want to play Xuanzang, you can't just play Xuanzang.

The story must have a beginning. He was born in Luoyang, became a monk at White Horse Temple, and finally traveled to the West. After returning, he translated the scriptures, and then was ruled by Li Zhi... which can be said to be under house arrest. Finally, he fell and died. It would be better to know more about these stories.

Xuanzang was the Buddhist leader at that time and the founder of Eastern Buddhism. His story is not only in history, but also in Buddhism and has been passed down to this day. Collect as many stories as possible and dig into them, and it will actually be easier to act..."

Having said this, he paused and suddenly chuckled:

"Ha~ let's not mention that "Journey to the West" has so many themes, but this is the first time I have heard of a historical realistic story script from Xuanzang's perspective..."

When Huang Xiaoming heard this, he smiled and said:

"Junior brother, are you interested? How about I take the lead..."

"Don't."

Xu Xin quickly waved his hand:

"I'm interested, but this kind of movie is not in my plan. Is a movie with serious historical themes good? It's definitely good. But there are not many places for the director to play. I especially hate the kind of movie that puts myself in a frame. The enclosed story feels aggrieved.”

"That's it..."

Although he was a little regretful, Huang Xiaoming also knew that he was not lying.

Putting aside the real-life relationship, as far as movies are concerned, people in the industry almost universally agree that Junior is an absolutely talented player.

That kind of wanton inspiration, use of lenses, and the beauty of the picture, etc., can be said to come from textbooks, but ordinary directors will never be able to do it.

And just when Huang Xiaoming wanted to say something more, Yang Ying suddenly asked:

"Does Director Xu have any plans for his next movie?"

"Yes, I have."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"Isn't it said on the Internet that I can't use her..."

Pointing in the direction of his wife, in Yang Mi's dumbfounded eyes, he said:

"She has to find her place. So the next movie is for her. Shooting is expected to start in the spring."

"Well……"

In Yang Ying's surprised eyes, Huang Xiaoming asked:

"A leading actress?"

"Yeah. The female protagonist."

After hiding the word "big", Xu Xin responded with a smile.

"What's the story this time?"

"The story about my family is adapted from real events."

Xu Xin didn't go into detail, and Huang Xiaoming didn't ask carefully.

This topic was discussed for a while and then dropped.

…

Waiting until Yang Dalin came back from shopping for groceries, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying took the initiative to get up and go out. In the yard, they greeted Yang Dalin who was about to enter the kitchen:

"Uncle Yang."

"Eh."

While they were chatting, Xu Xin was smoking in the yard.

After Yang Dalin said, "You guys chat, I'll cook for you." Huang Xiaoming turned around and saw him smoking a cigarette and a can next to the window, and he was immediately happy.

"Haha~"

Although I understand that it is not good for children to smell secondhand smoke, Xu Xin can only smoke outside. but……

This look of using a can as an ashtray is too real.

"Junior brother, if you smoke at home you can only smoke outside?"

"No."

He pointed to his studio next door:

"It's okay over there, she installed a ventilation system there, and children don't usually go in there. I actually stay there for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming said:

"Then... let's go over there. What is there?"

"His studio."

Huang Xiaoming was even more interested now.

Seeing this, Xu Xin took them over there.

On the way, Yang Ying said:

"Director Xu, how much does this yard cost now?"

"Uh...I really don't know that."

Xu Xin said while looking at his wife.

Yang Mi knew the price, but she just didn't want to say it because she didn't think it was necessary. So he also pretended to be confused:

"My father-in-law bought them all, and neither of us asked."

Yang Ying nodded slightly, and then everyone walked to the door of the studio.

Xu Xin was the first to enter the house and arrange slippers for guests.

While Yang Ying was changing his shoes, he looked around at the studio, which was at least one to two hundred square meters.

To be honest, apart from the shelves with discs and the home theater equipment, the layout of this room seemed a bit old-fashioned to her.

Various Chinese-style furniture, lounge chairs, books everywhere, and tables that look quite messy...

It went against the decorating style she liked.

But... she doesn't know why, but she always feels that everything from small accessories and furniture to large wooden floors, tables, chairs and benches has a very strange feeling.

It's hard to say, hard to describe.

In front of the root-carved tea table in the room, which was much more elegant than the tea table in the living room, Xu Xin asked casually:

"Brother, are you planning to cooperate in depth with LeTV next year?"

When they talk about this, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying really don't feel sleepy anymore.

After all, this is one of the purposes of the two coming.

He nodded:

"Yes, they found me. Aren't they going to enter the film and television industry next year? They said they would work together. The conditions are pretty good."

After speaking, he asked:

"Didn't they also find their junior brother?"

"I found it, but to be honest, I'm not very interested."

Huang Xiaoming was stunned:

"Why?"

"I can't even handle Cloud Atlas. What's more... for me, their biggest advantage, which is the so-called strong financial resources, is not attractive to me. I think there is no shortage of investors for making movies. Well~ But for actors, their advantages are not small, whether it is in terms of funds or platforms, many of their things are needed by actors. "

After hearing this, Huang Xiaoming thought for a while and suddenly said:

"Yes, the condition they gave me is that I can buy shares and become a shareholder. The maximum I can give is 0.5% of the shares. But I think this matter can be discussed, and I want to see if I can talk about 1%. , Including that they like bond raising and will give me a larger quota at that time..."

This time, Xu Xin and Yang Mi were a little surprised.

There is no other reason.

Just because the other party was too honest.

If Xu Xin or Yang Mi are really interested in LeTV, then after knowing the conditions that LeTV promised to Huang Xiaoming, they can use these conditions to push back the other party's bottom line in negotiations, and then start a game.

Shopping malls are like battlefields.

Therefore, this kind of thing must be difficult to explain clearly to each partner.

Otherwise, when the time comes, this matter will be brought out, and something like "the condition you gave Huang Xiaoming was XXX, why did it become XXX when it came to me?" will not look good on both sides.

Although this kind of statement is very low in emotional intelligence...but whether people tell you and whether they are willing to tell you are two different things.

This is why the couple was surprised.

Is this showing all the trump cards?

So sincere?

Or it could be said that smart people think too much.

After hearing what Huang Xiaoming said, although Yang Ying looked at her boyfriend with a look like "Brother, what are you doing?", Xu Xin was thinking, "LeTV's future is not clear. Should I remind him? What can I get in exchange for reminding?" ", and what Yang Mi was thinking was, "What kind of things does he want to talk to me about openly? Is he trying to show his friendship? Or is he trying to exchange resources?"

Essentially, both of them think about the same thing, but there are still many subtle differences.

However, Yang Mi chose to shut up.

How to deal with this matter... depends on your husband's attitude.

If her husband thinks it's nothing, then she will keep talking. If her husband doesn't want to tell her something, then she can tell her about Shuangwei at most, but she won't reveal anything more than that.

After all, at best, Huang Xiaoming's size... was too small for her.

"Crack."

Xu Xin lit a cigarette.

"Brother, are you very optimistic about the cooperation with LeTV?"

"Junior brother, what do you think? I am very optimistic. Although the various systems here are very mature... but as foreign capital, those who enter the market first are the first to eat crabs. They move very quickly, When we started planning last year, we have already achieved some success. This year’s goal is even bigger.

Junior brother, didn’t you publish a paper, which was about the increasing number of actors in recent years? I've also seen... My thought is that from an actor's perspective, the larger the base, the more intense the competition. You see, I was born in 1977. You see, I am 36 this year. We definitely need to consider the issue of transformation. "

Xu Xin was actually quite surprised. He felt a little uncomfortable with his senior brother being so confidant.

But I miss it inexplicably.

Unconsciously, I thought of Li Fei.

When he had dinner in Hengdian, the person sitting next to him was still Li Fei.

In fact, everyone had a great time chatting.

It really means something different.

However, he understood it.

To put it bluntly, the other party should also sense that the entry of Internet capital may cause a reshuffle in the entertainment industry...or changes.

Just like he said.

He is 36 years old, and he is simply an actor... In fact, he is not very famous, and the ceiling has been reached.

I also made a lot of money.

So I want to transform myself into the group of people at the top of the pyramid.

"Senior brother, do you think this is a big gamble?"

Judging Huang Xiaoming's thoughts, he asked directly.

Huang Xiaoming smiled and said:

"For me, it can be said that it is. After all, I am also investing myself now, and in terms of film and television, LeTV is doing really well."

"But if I say that I am not optimistic about their future, do you believe me?"

"..."

Huang Xiaoming was stunned.

Yang Ying frowned subconsciously.

Yang Mi glanced at her husband lightly.

Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"Actually, to be honest, brother, not only LeTV is looking for me, but Alibaba and Tencent are also looking for me. Not only are they looking for me, but they are also in contact with Nifeng and Yuntu. Some people even want to be me directly. shareholders. First, they are indeed not short of money. Second, they do have a lot of users. In their words...how to put it?"

Seeing her husband looking at her, Yang Mi said:

"Conversion rate."

"Yes, yes, that's the word. According to them, they have a very scary potential user group, and these user groups can all be converted into potential movie consumers. And, what else do they have... a data model? The general meaning is that it can analyze the audience's movie tastes, needs, and preferences, and then customize the works they like.

How is it? Sounds good?

But have you ever thought about it, senior brother? There must be a reason why movies and TV series can be transformed into the category of art. And when can art be quantified? Things that can be quantified are almost all products of industrial assembly lines. It's like a song. Why can the song "Wheel" become a classic? And there are some songs that you don’t even bother to listen to? "

Speaking of this, he spread his hands:

"I think this is the truth. I don't deny that they have money, the Internet is very powerful, and even their data models are very professional... It is true that what people love is culture and art. But I don't think the relationship between the two should be like this. Once everyone gets tired of this kind of industrialized products that are customized according to taste, the so-called data models of Internet companies, including LeTV, will definitely fail.”

What he said can almost be described as an assertion.

But after finishing speaking, Yang Ying on the side suddenly said:

"But it will at least be prosperous for a while, right?"

"..."

Xu Xin was speechless...

Does your heart say you are sick? Can't you understand what I'm saying?

But Yang Mi asked:

“But have you considered what they sacrificed?”

Yang Ying was stunned.

sacrifice?

What can... be sacrificed?

She thought for a while and racked her brains to analyze.

Internet companies entered the film and television industry, spent a lot of money, invested a lot of money... and finally failed...

What was sacrificed?

Suddenly, an answer flashed in my mind.

What, just that simple?

"money!"

She gave the answer directly.

Extraordinarily certain.

"..."

"..."

Xu Xin and Yang Mi both twitched their mouths.

The couple's appearance is perfect.

Xu Xinxin said you really showed off to me.

Such a simple question, something that you can figure out with just a little thought, 1+1 = how much, it is obviously equal to two, but you gave me 3.1415926?

Yang Mi also glanced at Huang Xiaoming.

You think your girlfriend is stupid, you should be able to figure it out, right?

But found that the other party was also frowning...

Yang Mi suddenly became desperate.

but……

Mr. Yang has a kind heart and cannot tolerate fools.

So the correct answer is given:

"It's our future."

Then he ignored Yang Ying's puzzled gaze...

It's normal for her not to understand.

Must not understand.

It’s strange to understand!

So he explained to himself:

"It is the future of the film and television industry. Let me put it this way...baby, just think that the Northwest Circle is trying to put money on your face. Think about it, since 2007, the Northwest Circle has been doing its best to provide high quality to the film and television industry every year. of film and television works. And our film market is growing by two to three billion every year.

What does this mean?

It shows that the audience has gradually recognized the entertainment method of film and television...

Cultivating the market, cultivating audience habits and consumption awareness is difficult. You need to use excellent works to ingrain it into their hearts. The current growth in consumption in the film market is the result of the efforts of countless of us filmmakers.

But in the next stage, these Internet companies enter the market, and they gain the recognition of the audience without spending any money, and then... as my husband said, in a few years, they consume all the audience's favorability for movies and TV shows. Industrialized production and featureless film and television works consume the efforts of countless people...

Their success and failure will not be discussed. Just talk about this route. When a large number of homogeneous and industrialized works appear and consume the inner favorability of all viewers, as investors, they can leave the market in style.

But have you ever thought about what kind of cold winter those of us who have chosen the film and television industry, directors, actors, and even staff, will face?

They are gone, what should we do?

Continue to build an audience again?

To repair the broken hearts of the audience?

Can we "old guys" who are getting older still be able to do it at that time? And those actors who grew up in this era, have become accustomed to the Internet model, no longer refine their acting skills, or have become completely impetuous and flow into the market. Are they really responsible for the audience?

What should we do then? "

Yang Mi was sincere when she said these words.

This is not about drinking.

It’s not just chatting with friends either.

Rather, as an actor and a film and television practitioner, she is a kind of preaching to an actor who is not aware of it, or even has no self-consciousness.

Yes, that's right.

Just preaching.

She was even sure that the other party would not listen.

But...she had to say it.

It's like the teacher knows that students will fall asleep under the podium during the lecture, but the teacher still continues to talk.

Because there is always someone listening.

Listen to these knowledge points.

For poor students, maybe he can't listen.

But what if you wake up one day?

If he thought about what the teacher once said, or in the high school entrance examination or college entrance examination that can determine his fate, he accidentally remembered the knowledge points that the teacher seemed to have talked about in class.

If he gets one more question right through this knowledge point, maybe the 3 points from this question can help him cross the line of private schools... or enter a school that is better than his own.

People who have not yet been to college will not understand how the quality of a college will affect them.

Even if the teachers help him analyze, he may not understand.

Even when he knows the gap between famous schools and private schools, it is too late.

But...

If you can save one, save one.

This is Yang Mi's idea.

She doesn't care whether the couple listens to her.

The future is full of uncertainty.

She even knows that her predictions may not be correct.

But who makes her a pessimist who likes to consider the worst outcome first.

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at her husband.

She found that her husband was also looking at her.

There was only one emotion in his eyes, called a sense of security.

It is not between men and women, but the sense of security that like-minded partners can lean on each other when they get together.

So, the double gold actress gave her own response.

Her mouth did not move, and her expression on her face was unusually calm.

It's just...

Xu Xin saw it.

She was smiling.

Her eyebrows were smiling.

It was fleeting.

But it was imprinted in his heart.

While Yang Mi was acting, Yang Ying's thoughts were very simple.

Did she understand what Sister Mi said?

Of course she did.

She was not stupid.

It's just...

Although she didn't think she was a sophisticated egoist, after hearing this, her first thought was "You are not short of money, so you can worry about nothing."

She didn't even think about whether "worrying about nothing" was appropriate here.

And the second thought was:

"Sacrifice the future? I don't even exist in the "present", what does the future have to do with me?"

I'll just live well in the present.

Maybe when I reach your level, I will consider it more thoroughly than you.

People always have to be more realistic.

If there is no present, how can there be a future?

(Because the author said that he would promote the book today, I wrote it here. Yang Ying's series of foreshadowing and Huang Xiaoming's foreshadowing are actually used as contrasts and play a role in the next stage.

However, the character I set before is very simple, that is, a brainless person who plunges into it and finally leaves in disgrace.

When the book was opened, her character was like this.

But as I wrote, I felt that the character of Yang Ying could be further explored. Although the main plot line remains unchanged, from the chapters starting with the Internet stage to now, on the one hand, it is to explain to everyone clearly the views of Xu and Yang in the story, as well as the ideas of the Internet, the film and television industry, and the "awake" in the early stage of this stage, so that everyone knows that the entry of the Internet is not just a simple "capital" theory.

Even now, when I see those self-media saying "capital capital" at every turn, I feel particularly speechless.

Admittedly, from the perspective of "Das Kapital" In terms of the rich and poor, it will cause the polarization of the rich and the poor. But the book also affirms that the capitalist mode of production has achieved a certain social division of labor. This is undeniable, and capital is not the original sin.

So, after reading the two volumes of Capital, I feel that the character of Yang Ying can be dug deeper.

It can be used as a kind of "now is important or the future is important", similar to the philosophical character of "The White Horse is Not a Horse".

Shakespeare said: The stupidity of fools is not surprising, but the stupidity of smart people makes people laugh. Because he used all his skills to prove his stupidity.

After combining the reality with the character settings of the characters in the book, I think it would be more interesting to shape it in this way.

It has nothing to do with how many roles she has, but a mirror. That's probably what it means.

I'm a little more verbose, please forgive me. I will update 12,000 tomorrow to resume my growth. )
