Chapter 913 909 Bei Xiaonian
Chapter 913 909. Bei Xiaonian
"Actually, this is a very contradictory story. The character Zhaodi is unreasonable and unacceptable for most of the story. She is a setting that goes against traditional concepts. Pregnancy before marriage ...It can even be said that she is the kind of woman who comes from an unfortunate family.
Especially during the period around the millennium, I think this is the time for everyone to be more open-minded. We’re “trendy” but not that “trendy”.
And the story still takes place in northern Shaanxi, which was still relatively isolated at that time. There are many poor people, but because there are resources under the land, before everyone is ready, wealth begins to impact traditional values.
This is what happened when I was a kid, so I know how ridiculous that time was.
This story was born out of this situation. Moreover, this is just one version. I have pondered several versions of this story in the past few years, each with a completely different structure..."
"I know."
Listening to Xu Xin's summary, Qi Lei nodded:
"Don't tell me, the housing prices in Xi'an were speculated by the Shenmu people. Especially in the early 2000s, when the sales department heard the northern Shaanxi accent, the price of the land would be increased by one thousand... But the details of your story... …”
"I'm just telling you the general direction of the whole story. The details will be in the film by then. Doesn't it sound like the village chief's role changes so abruptly at first glance? There are a few places like this, right?"
"Yes, that's what I want to say."
"But in fact, in the script, I have already designed the character of the village chief. For example, his inexplicable concern. At the beginning of the movie, when Zhao Di returns home from the mine, there will be scenes in the house. There is some Master Kong mineral water. Think about it, what kind of family could drink bottled water that costs one yuan instead of tap water? If you drink bottled water, then forget it, what about a family like Zhaodi? Maybe you can afford bottled water?”
"...a gift from the village chief?"
"That's right. Don't forget, Zhaodi also has a grandma. She went to the mine for five days, and grandma took care of her great-grandson alone. The old man had no idea of buying mineral water. Moreover, when Zhaodi went to the village chief, There will also be a van parked in front of the village chief's house, delivering mineral water to the village chief, carrying boxes one by one..."
"This sounds just right. Instead of telling it directly, you can build up the village chief's character from the side through such detailed things?"
"That's right, and when Zhaodi comes home, she will check with her grandma how many bottles of water she drank this week, and tell grandma in a daily life-style chat: This water is mineral water, and drinking it is good for your health. In fact, these are very fragmented narrations, but all the fragments are like bricks. When put together, they form a complete group of characters. That’s why I said that this story cannot be told, but must be photographed.”
"..."
Qi Lei fell silent again.
The silence was quite long this time.
After a while, he suddenly looked at Yang Mi:
"I feel that in this movie, your image may be subverted."
Yang Mi, who had not spoken much, nodded:
"I know. Although the past few years have not been continuous, we have actually been studying this story every year. Including my own thinking, how should this image come about, how should it be expressed... In fact, I am also quite panicked, for fear that everyone will not understand. Accept it. After all... no matter what, I am still a young and invincible girl. This suddenly happened..."
"..."
After Xu Xin heard the four words "youth is invincible", she started to twitch the corners of her mouth crazily, and she bared her little white teeth:
"But this role is very challenging and I want to play it. But first, if it doesn't do well at the box office, you can't blame me."
The latter sentence was said to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin shrugged indifferently:
"In a broad sense, no one can go on smoothly all the time. And from a personal point of view, the investment in this drama... I estimate that without your salary, it will only be around ten million at most." The scenery is all ready-made, and there is no special expense. It is up to the audience to judge whether the story is good or bad. Our duty is to express a complete story through the movie. Is Director Feng on the street?"
Yang Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Good guy.
A box office of 300 million is called a rush?
But if you think about it carefully...it might be true.
Didn’t you notice that he was trolling viewers on Weibo two days ago?
The audience left a message on his Weibo, probably saying that the movie was not good to watch, and he replied, "Then don't watch it, it's dirtying my movie"...
Although this incident cannot be said to cause a particularly big disturbance, it can also reflect from the side that his mood is not very good.
And when it comes to this...
"Oh, yes, I just received the news two days ago. It said that a project in Huayi was approved. A story created by Wang Shuo called "Private Customization". The director is still him."
Xu Xin was stunned...
"Director Feng?"
"right."
"……So fast?"
Looking at the incredible look on his face, Qi Lei nodded slightly:
"It is said that this script came from a script called "The Nobles" in the early years. Wang Shuo took it over and changed it. Although he doesn't know the story, it should be prepared at the beginning of the year. After all, after "1942", their stock price has been It doesn’t look good. For a listed company like this, the stock price is too important, so they must take action.”
Yang Mi couldn't help asking:
"Brother Qi, you are... a little too well-informed, right? So many insider information?"
"Hahaha~"
Qi Lei laughed:
"Then look, what do I do?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Xin:
"They have several movies coming out next year, and we are actually about the same. The competition will become more and more intense in the future, but don't worry too much. Let's not talk about these new entrants, as far as the current situation is concerned, the advantage..."
"Don't!"
When he heard something wrong, Xu Xin interrupted him quickly.
"Let's not plant the flag. Just make our own movies down-to-earth."
Although it's not clear what Qi Lei wants to say after "advantage".
But Xu Xin is really afraid that he will say "The advantage is mine". Once this flag is planted, he knows how cold the wind in his back will be.
"Haha~"
Qi Lei laughed, looked at the time, and stood up when he saw it was almost time:
"Let's go? Let's have a bowl of water at noon. You still have to speak at the annual meeting in the afternoon."
"Let's go."
It's time for lunch.
Let's have something hot to warm up.
...
In fact, after being in the film and television industry for a long time, Xu Xin's face has gradually become thicker.
In the early years, he would blush and feel embarrassed because he caused applause from his classmates when he returned to school.
But now, when he gives a speech at the annual meeting, he can speak freely without blushing or panting.
People.
They are all growing up and evolving little by little.
There is nothing much to say about the annual meeting of Xiying Studio. It is a very formalized set of procedures.
Many people came. Except for those who have a play in hand, such as Sister Bingbing and Wu Jing, most of the others who should come back have come back.
In the afternoon, we have a meeting to summarize the past and look forward to the future.
At the evening banquet, white wine is served first and beer is served at the end.
People are in high spirits when good things happen to them. The quality of the factory's business this year is there, and the future is getting brighter and brighter, so they are naturally happy to drink this wine.
However, at the dinner table, Lao Luo, who is in charge of personnel, complained after drinking a little. The number of staff is increasing every year, and it is annoying to find people through various connections...
Of course, he complained to Xu Xin in private.
He dared not say this openly.
But this is also a good thing.
It symbolizes the vitality and attraction of this group.
Because of drinking, Xu Xin went back to the villa and slept at night.
He originally said to take a look at the film "Exorcist".
The next day, he went to Shanghai alone to attend the annual meeting of Nifeng.
But the first thing he did in Shanghai was to go to Sister Mo's house.
As for what they talked about... Actually, there were two things.
One was that Uncle Liu told him that he would start to check the tax issues next year and asked him what he thought.
Xu Xin thought, what can I think? The only thing he could say was to give his own guarantee. There will be no problem with Shuangwei's people. The same is true for Nifeng, and Yuntu also sent people to start checking the past years after entering December. The people were sent by Nifeng.
Nifeng also has only one requirement, that is, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go.
These "newcomers" who have just come to the company have felt the rules here.
He is really impartial.
After that, Uncle Liu was relieved.
Xu Xin did not ask about the specific time or how to start the process.
That is not his concern.
The second thing is that Sister Mo came to him and said that she wanted Xu Xin to choose a script next year. This year's "Package" box office was very average. Although it did not lose much money, only a few million, it was a bit embarrassing.
Xu Xin also agreed.
Tell her to go over after finishing the movie at hand.
Then... he drank too much again.
At the annual dinner of Nifeng, he was drunk by his childhood friend, who was quite high-spirited, and Xu Zheng, who was in high spirits, and a group of people, who were in high spirits, poured cups of wine under the table one by one.
To others, he is Director Xu.
To Nifeng, or to his childhood friends, he is worse than a dog.
Then, on the third day, he rushed back to Yanjing without stopping to attend the annual meeting of Shuangwei.
Logically speaking, Wang Sicong, a small shareholder of Shuangwei, should be there.
But this love-brained man who accompanied his girlfriend to promote the movie did not come at all.
And facing the wine glasses that came in groups, looking at Liu Yifei, Liu Zhishi, or Tang Yan, who has not signed yet but plans to set up a studio after ZC comes down from Horgos next year... a group of beautiful women staring at him.
Xu Xin, who felt sick at the sight of wine, had to pinch his nose and swallow the bitter wine.
Anyway, before he blacked out, he remembered one person.
Zhao Liying, right?
You want to play depth bombs with me, right?
Okay.
You wait.
I will kill you next year!
…
February 3, 2013.
Little New Year in the North.
After several annual meetings and gatherings, Xu Xin, who had been depressed at home for several days, took advantage of the morning to move a recliner to lie in the yard to bask in the sun.
This period of time is actually the most peaceful every year.
Everyone is on vacation, and no matter how urgent everything is, it will be put off until after the New Year.
The peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush has begun.
The number of people in Yanjing has gradually decreased.
There are fewer cars and no more traffic jams.
Suddenly, it seems that time has frozen in this small courtyard.
He just squinted his eyes, feeling the warmth of the looming sunlight rubbing against his face in the cold wind.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
In the corridor next to them, Nuannuan and Yangyang were chasing the cannons on the ground like jelly beans.
Yanjing did not allow cannons to be fired, but throwing cannons was not among them.
The child is too weak to throw it away. I could only step on them one by one with my feet, making a crackling sound.
It can barely be regarded as "the flavor of the year".
so good……
Just as he was sighing, he heard the door behind his head being opened, and Yang Mi walked out holding the phone.
"Let's go out and get something."
"What?"
"Shishi has arrived."
"Oh, go ahead and I'll lie down for a while."
"..."
Seeing her husband's boneless look, Yang Mi stared at him speechlessly, and then walked quickly towards the door.
Soon, after the sound of a car engine, he heard a noise outside the yard:
"No, no, no, there's no room in the parking lot, so you can park here."
"Oh my god...why are there so many?"
"Husband! Husband!"
Xu Xin pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Just pretend you can't hear it.
The warmth in the sun was so comfortable that I didn't bother to get up.
Until Yang Mi walked in with a large bag of plastic bags, looking at Xu Xin who had not moved yet, her eyebrows rose:
"Xu, get out of here!"
have to.
Forced by helplessness, Xu Xin reluctantly stood up from the recliner and muttered:
"Just take it yourself, don't you have any hands?"
She was about to reach out to take it, but Yang Mi hid:
"Go get it yourself!"
"..."
Passing by his wife, he walked to the door and saw Liu Zhishi carrying the things in the trunk to the ground at the door.
Each plastic bag is large and full.
"What are these?"
"Song meat, glutinous rice balls, meatballs, vegetarian meatballs... there are a lot of them. My parents made them themselves~ Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang are going to Shenmu to celebrate the New Year this year. I asked Mimi not to make so many things. You bring them Going back to northern Shaanxi is also a characteristic of Yanjing.”
Xu Xin complained speechlessly:
"The beef and mutton at my place are much better than those in Yanjing."
"But your craftsmanship is not as authentic as mine."
Liu Zhishi looked proud.
"Uncle Xu ate a lot last time and kept praising how delicious it was."
"He flatters you."
"Get out of here! Hurry up and get to work! We have to go to Beihai Park to play in the afternoon!"
"...Huh? Where are you going? Who are you?"
"Mimi and I, do you want to go or not? We are going to go skating."
"Well……"
Xu Xin hasn’t finished speaking yet...
Steal!
Yang Mi pushed her husband out of the door with a dissatisfied look:
"I asked you to get something, but who asked you to talk about it here!"
"Are you watching? She domestically abused me..."
"Have you forgotten that I am a blind girl?"
"..."
have to.
The nickname Blind Sister was given by Xu Xin himself.
Although he forgot why he called me that.
But at this moment, it was obvious that I was digging a hole for myself.
Xu Xin shook his head helplessly and started walking home with two bags of things.
Not to mention, the craftsmanship of making beef and mutton is actually somewhat different between the Han people and the Hui people.
It’s hard to say exactly what the difference is, but the subtle taste difference is really quite big.
Liu Zhishi brings these things to her family every year. She is used to eating her croquettes, loose meat, etc., and she really can't survive without this one.
"Auntie, auntie~"
As soon as the two children saw Liu Zhishi, they quickly surrounded him.
"Hehe~"
The blind sister smiled and opened the pocket she was carrying.
"Eat quickly, the loose meat is freshly fried and still hot~... Go and ask mom to get some cumin noodles."
The two children each grabbed a handful and ran directly into the kitchen.
Each of these bags weighed at least ten kilograms.
I really have to eat it after the Chinese New Year.
"Why do so many?"
"There are a lot of people at Uncle Xu's house."
"That's too much."
"Let's drink. You have to eat leftovers during the Chinese New Year. This is called having more than enough every year. Are you saying that I am not allowed to give gifts to the director? The director wants me to win the Berlin Best Film Award!"
Hearing this, Xu Xin, who was secretly eating fried sweet potato balls next to him, twitched the corner of his mouth...
My heart says you really think too highly of yourself.
Although I still don’t know how strong my opponents are at this Berlin Film Festival, you can’t even get past my wife’s level.
Even though you were equally outstanding in "Scorching Sun", but... you really can't compare to Gong Er.
Although there is a gap in acting skills, it is more about the shaping of the characters.
There is a natural gap here.
Of course, he also knew that Shishi was joking, so he nodded:
"That's good. Gong Er and the like are just rubbish."
Yang Mi glanced at him after hearing this.
He said angrily:
"That person is better at using me than you are."
"..."
Xu Xin's face suddenly turned green.
I don’t know since when, this statement, like ZZZQ, has become a fact recognized by everyone.
In the words of bees:
"Xu Gou... let's just say that. He has made so many movies but he still can't keep up with Wang Jiawei."
Take a look, this is starting to be a direct personal attack.
The most important thing is that Yang Mi also opened a trumpet and replied, "That's right, that's right!".
Aren't you crazy?
But...
I just want you to be yin and yang with me, but if you don't like me, I'm going to fight you?
So he turned to look at Liu Zhishi:
"Shishi, what do you think about the divorced and single male director? Think about it?"
"I don't like you for burying yourself."
"Bah! You are so blind!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Yang Mi burst out laughing next to her.
Amid laughter, Xu Xin's phone rang.
After taking a look, he glared at Liu Zhishi and answered the phone angrily, turning on the speakerphone:
"Way! If you fart, let it go!"
"What happened? Did you eat explosives?"
Wang Sicong's puzzled voice sounded.
Then he asked:
"Are you at home?"
"Here, what are you doing?"
"Brother Qi and I came back from Chengdu. She insisted on sending the sausages to you. They will be here soon. Open the garage door."
"There's no room in the garage. You can park behind that Alfa."
"Alpha? Who's at your house?"
"Blind Abing."
"I'll kick you to death!"
If Liu Zhishi thought the nickname "Blind Sister" was nothing, then the nickname "Blind A Bing" was completely against her.
This nickname was also given by Xu Xin.
She freaks out every time she hears it.
And Wang Sicong understood it as soon as he heard it:
"Blind sister is at your house?"
"You surnamed Wang are dead! I've been waiting for you to come here!"
"Ah~ Sister Shishi, hello, hello, I'll be there soon. I also brought you a gift..."
"Bah! Stop doing this!"
"Hehe... we'll see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"Why don't you just call the others and let's hug each other?"
Yang Mi nodded:
"Okay. Anyway, there's no serious party this year. Should I ask our dad to go buy groceries?"
"You don't have to buy it. You can take out the mutton from the refrigerator and go to the market to make the mutton rolls. You can make shabu-shabu today. It will save time and effort."
"That's okay. Then you can call me?"
"good."
"Shishi, let's go together. I can't carry it by myself."
"...Are you stupid? You asked Xu Xin to do this kind of thing. Let him take Lao Wang to do it. That thing is so cold. What should I do if I have menstrual cramps?"
"It seems right...you, go and carve the mutton!"
Yang Mi, who was used to serving trash, was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing.
Yes, why should I do this kind of thing?
What do you do as a big man?
then……
"Ouch? Director Xu, what's going on? What are you holding in your hand? Did someone kick him out during the Chinese New Year?"
"..."
Xu Xin, who was holding a few Tan Yang meat rolls in his hand, looked at the bright red Rolls-Royce and asked doubtfully:
"Changed the color?"
"No, it's new. Just look at the license plate."
After hearing this, Xu Xin noticed that the license plate was "5217V".
"..."
He was speechless for a while.
His eyes fell on the face of Di Wei next to him.
Si Wei was also a little embarrassed:
"I like the color red, but I didn't know he ordered this car. It just came back yesterday...the license plate was already selected when I saw it."
"..."
Xu Xin was speechless.
There were two big words "Niubi" in my mind, and nothing else.
Yang Mi and Liu Zhishi, who walked out after hearing the noise, also noticed the car.
"Huh? The color is nice. Is there a film on it?"
After hearing his wife's words, Xu Xin said:
"Look at the license plate."
The two women focused their attention on the license plate of the car.
Yang Mi blinked and was stunned.
Liu Zhishi squinted her eyes...she was relatively blind.
Without glasses, I had to squint.
And after seeing the license plate clearly...
"When it comes to romance, I still have to go to Lao Wang. Shishi, don't you think so?"
"Yeah! This feeling... Brother Qi, are you touched?"
Xu Xin didn't know whether Si Wei was moved or not.
He doesn't dare to move now.
Because my wife’s eyes have already glanced over:
"I also want!"
"...Rolls-Royce?"
"No! License plate! YM521, or 521YM!"
"..."
Wang Sicong, who was feeling proud after hearing Dami's words, saw his friend suddenly looking at him and asked with a coquettish look on his face:
"What do you see me doing?"
"Let's see what you are...you really deserve to die!"
As he spoke, Xu Xin gritted his teeth and glared at him.
He put the mutton rolls in the front basket of the electric bicycle, got on it and left without looking back.
I can't stay in this broken house for a day.
