Chapter 920 916 Fist Bump
Chapter 920 916. Fist bump
Xu Xin could guess Georgia's reason for coming, but he couldn't think of the specific reason.
Could it be that Paramount felt that this condition was too harsh, so it took the initiative to show its conscience and sent an acquaintance to make up for it?
Or... is he the one responsible for this matter?
I had just expressed my feelings to Brother Qi. Even if Brother Qi directly reported it to Paramount in person, it would not be so fast. What's more... the time difference in the United States seems to be that everyone is off work now, right?
But why did Paramount, which had proposed such harsh conditions, suddenly send an acquaintance over?
Could it be...that my cell phone was monitored! ?
He glanced at his iPhone.
If that was the case, he wouldn't be afraid.
only……
Americans shouldn't be so mean as to be able to monitor browser history, right?
After thinking about it, he decided to play it safe.
I opened the browser and deleted all the websites I browsed.
In this way, even if you are arrested as a spy in the United States, when you are tried in court, you will most likely be imprisoned forever.
But if the browsing history is made public, he will definitely confess on the spot, then attack the police and let the LAPD shoot him directly.
Oh, yes, you have to chew your cell phone to pieces before you die.
You must not fall into the enemy's hands!
And Yang Mi watched her husband lower his head and operate the phone for a while, thinking that she was going to reply to some message from George. But when I saw that he was clearing the browser history on his mobile phone, I was speechless.
All ambition, speculation, etc. were wiped out at this moment.
Brother, am I worse than others?
I can't satisfy you anymore, can I?
"Snapped."
Sneakers kissed her husband's calf angrily.
Xu Xin's mouth twitched in pain...
Yang Mi, who was too lazy to talk to her husband, looked at Zhong Changyou:
"Brother Zhong, have the box office results for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" been released?"
"No ah."
Zhong Changyou shook his head...and was suddenly startled:
"Eh? Yes, today is the second year of junior high school..."
"Let's go out together today."
After cleaning the phone, Xu Xin felt refreshed and explained:
"Who's working during the Chinese New Year? The theater statistics department doesn't work on the first day of the new year. The movie premieres at 2 p.m., so it only takes half a day to show off. Just go out with today's... wait until tonight. You'll know how much it will be in the evening. ”
Xu Xin's response opened up a new topic.
"Hey, I looked at Weibo. There are queues at the theaters on the first day of the new year. Has the movie rating been unlocked?"
"No, just ask Lao Wang. He must be the one who pays the most attention."
"I'll check the ratings first."
"Brother Zhong, have you read "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?"
"No, my child wants to watch it. I thought that applying directly at the factory would be a bit of a spoiler. I plan to watch it with my child after returning to China. Director Xu, have you finished watching it?"
"Me neither..."
The two were chatting, and Yang Mi began to collect topics about "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
"The Douban score is 7.7... not bad, quite high. Well, why do people say the plot is a bit dark?... Some people say this is a love letter from Master Xing to Zhu Yin that is more than ten years late..."
"Don't give me any spoilers, let's take a look at the evaluation of the actors. How would you evaluate Brother Qi?"
"Let me take a look... This seventh brother with long hair is really not good-looking... Hahahahahaha... He followed it with a sentence that I can't imagine Wang Sicong kissing a man every day, hahahahahahaha..."
"..."
I have to mention that the power of words is really great.
In just one sentence, the picture in Xu Xin's mind had successfully made him sick to his stomach.
"Okay, okay, you can see for yourself. But don't say anything."
This comment is definitely an exaggeration.
but……
It's really expressive.
By the way...Seventh brother probably doesn't have a beard...
He thought to himself.
…
After Zhong Changyou finished breakfast, everyone returned to their rooms.
Soon, the makeup artist knocked on the door.
After a while, Yang Mi helped Xu Xin find a set of clothes that were not very formal. After changing, Xu Xin asked:
"You really don't want to come with me?"
"No, they will definitely ask about gossip if I go. Then if they instigate and instigate, some messy things may happen. I'd better follow the crew of "The Grandmaster". Liang Chaowei and Zhang Zhen are both here, I'll have to wait for a while Go say hello. Let’s see if we can have lunch together.”
"good."
Xu Xin nodded.
After seeing that the time was almost up, I opened the door and prepared to go downstairs. After taking two steps, I turned around:
"Aren't you going?"
Yang Mi, who put on a long down jacket and held a baseball cap and a mask in her hands, nodded:
"That's right. I'm going to walk around and see what's here. The agreed time is 10:30. I'm so bored in my room right now."
Xu Xin nodded and subconsciously reached out.
It means holding hands.
As a result, Yang Mi ignored him at all:
"No, it's very hot. My palms are all sweaty~"
Xu Xinxin won't pull it if she doesn't want to, who cares about your stinky hands?
The two of them entered the elevator one after another, went downstairs, and walked out of the hotel.
The cool morning air in Berlin hit me instantly.
However, the two of them live in Yanjing all year round, so the temperature of minus 35 degrees Celsius is not a big deal.
When I left the hotel, there were a group of Asian faces chatting together.
Xu Xin walked to the trash can on the other side and lit a cigarette. Yang Mi, who had said she wanted to go for a walk, followed him. Wearing a baseball cap, she glanced at the people who were chatting together.
At first, it was just a casual glance, but soon she seemed to have discovered something and her eyes did not move.
After lighting a cigarette, Xu Xin saw that his wife's eyes were a little strange and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Following her gaze, he observed those people again... After finding no familiar faces, he said:
"They should be Koreans. It seems that they have two or three films shortlisted this year."
"It's four. One in the main competition unit and three in the panoramic unit."
Obviously, his wife knew more about the list than he did.
He was stunned...
Suddenly he remembered something:
"Haven't you noticed that Korean movies seem to appear more and more in the three major magazines in the past two years."
"Yeah."
Yang Mi nodded slightly:
"When Jeon Do-yeon became their national hero with "Secret Sunshine", it was also from that time that they seemed to have opened their minds. The themes they choose...are actually quite recognizable. It's not that I worship foreign things, but if you talk about realistic themes, neither we nor Japan can compare with them."
Xu Xin did not refute, but showed a look of approval.
Who makes this a country where reality is more magical than movies?
The few Korean movies he has watched in recent years are all based on some real events in Korea.
To be honest, there are really many perverts in Korea...
Just watching movies can feel the class solidification and oppression in some aspects of this country.
But in terms of film techniques...Xu Xin doesn't know how others evaluate it, but from his point of view, their techniques and the structure of the actors' lines are actually average.
Especially the lines, their sentence structure is very strange, often with those "smecta" and other ending sounds, as well as some long sounds.
People can't feel the sense of power conveyed by the lines.
While thinking and smoking, suddenly, a few Koreans also looked over here.
After the two sides looked at each other, Xu Xin nodded politely and avoided his gaze.
While smoking, he asked his wife:
"What are you looking at?"
"Jin C."
A very unfamiliar name popped out of her mouth.
"Who?"
Xu Xin asked puzzledly.
"Jin C."
Yang Mi repeated the name again:
"Jin of Jinzi, C of ABC. Jin C, do you remember a Korean variety show I particularly liked to watch two years ago, called "Two Days and One Night"... "
"The wrestling strongman, the host of the love letter?"
"Yes, Jiang Hudong. "Two Days and One Night", he is one of the six resident hosts there."
"Oh...which one?"
"The one with a beard and looks a little sloppy."
Seeing this, Xu Xin turned his head and glanced again.
I saw a guy wearing a black down jacket, with a beard and messy hair.
"Do you like him?"
"Mother Kim, she talks the least in that show, but she is a warm man... If I say I like her, I definitely don't hate her. But I actually want to say hello to him and ask him something."
"......?"
Under her husband's puzzled gaze, Yang Mi continued:
"He was the kind of person who had basically no fame before the show. He is a Korean singer and actor. Singing is his main job, and he has also created some songs that can win the first place in their music shows. But he has never become popular. After participating in "Two Days and One Night", the show became popular, with a national ratings of 50 or 60. He became popular all of a sudden... and then he quit. I felt it was a pity when I watched the show, but... I want to ask him why he chose to quit. Lin Gou, I am actually really worried..."
When she mentioned Lin Gou, Xu Xin understood what his wife meant.
After thinking for a while, he asked:
"How has Kim C's career developed in recent years?"
"I haven't paid attention to him since he left the show, but... he appeared in Cannes, which means he should have some works. So I want to ask, to learn from him. I don't care about you, I'll go and ask."
"Don't... Brother, do they know what you do?"
Xu Xin thought, your social bull attribute really explodes at any time?
Who do they know you? Just go and say hello.
But Yang Mi looked at her husband with a very strange look.
I thought, are you sick?
"Believe it or not, I don't know them, but they must know me. Okay, don't pull me, just do your thing."
As she said that, she took off her baseball cap, tidied her hair, and walked over directly.
"MR.KIM C~"
The voice came before the person arrived.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Xu Xin stared blankly at his wife, who greeted Jin C in the group of people. Then, several young girls in the group bowed subconsciously.
The girls who bowed still had shock on their faces, but judging from the gesture of bowing and greeting, they should have recognized his wife a long time ago...
Tsk...
Looking at his wife who shook hands with the guy named Jin C in a generous way.
Xu Xin thought to himself that it was really amazing.
I wish I could do the same.
And it was all thanks to his wife.
She didn't know what she was talking about with these people, but everyone shook hands with her, and then she turned back and pointed at herself and crossed her fingers.
A group of people looked at him.
Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
But he still put out the cigarette and walked over.
As soon as he walked in front of these people, he saw a group of people bowing to him.
"Honey, let me introduce to you. Director Lee Jae-yong."
"Anihasay..."
A slightly fat middle-aged man shook hands with Xu Xin.
"HELLO, Xu Xin."
"Park Hee Soon..."
Although Xu Xin couldn't figure out how his wife could remember everyone's name in such a short period of time and even act as an introducer, Xu Xin shook his hand again when he saw the other party taking the initiative to bow and extend his hand. Go up.
Immediately afterwards, the third person was a girl with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
I have to admit, this girl's eyes are indeed very recognizable.
She was looking at him with shining eyes.
The natural attributes of peach blossom eyes easily turn this sparkle into an emotion that almost all men can feel - worship.
"Kim Minhee."
After Yang Mi finished speaking, the girl with peach blossom eyes said in English:
"Hello director, I am Jin Minxi. I like all your works very much. It is an honor to meet you."
As she spoke, she bowed and held out her hand.
Xu Xin smiled and nodded:
"Thanks for your support."
He also stretched out his hand, but... it was a fist.
"...?"
Jin Minxi was stunned.
Looking at the fist stretched out in front of his hand, he obviously didn't understand what Xu Xin meant.
what does this mean?
Director Xu Xin engages in hip-hop?
At this time, she heard Xu Xin's words:
"Sorry, just finished smoking."
"...?"
Jin Minxi was stunned at first.
But something came to his mind immediately, and those peach blossom eyes shone as moistly as two flashlights.
The hand that was originally stretched out quickly made a fist, and then the left hand grabbed the right fist and touched Xu Xin.
"Wu Zhengshi."
"Hello, director..."
This time, Xu Xin turned his fist into a palm again.
"Kang Hye Jung."
This girl had the impression of Jin Minxi in front of her, and quickly bumped fists with Xu Xin.
One after another, men shook hands and women fist bumped.
After saying hello, the girl named Jin Yubin immediately raised her mobile phone, hoping to take a photo with him.
Xu Xin didn't care, he politely turned his hand away and moved closer to the camera.
At this time, Zhang Songwen, Zhao Yude, Zhong Changyou, and several other staff members in the factory came out.
"Director Xu."
"Eh."
Xu Xin responded, glanced at his wife, and after confirming that she had fulfilled her role as "introducer", he took the initiative and said:
"Nice to meet you all, but sorry, I have to go to work now."
He nodded politely to everyone, glanced at his wife again, finally smiled and nodded again to everyone, and walked down the steps with the others.
At the foot of the hotel steps, next to three Volvo XC90s with double flashes on, the three German drivers who had been waiting there before Xu Xin came out quickly opened the door.
"Teacher Zhang, we share a car... Do I need to leave a car for you?"
He asked Yang Mi the next question.
Yang Mi waved her hand:
"No, you go your own way."
"Ok, bye."
After politely waving to those people again, everyone got into the car.
Three Volvos left together.
As soon as her husband left, the role of the introducer ended. She smiled and extended an invitation to Jin C, asking if he was free and wanted to consult on something.
Jin C looked surprised, but nodded and agreed.
So, after the conspicuous bag made an appointment with him at noon, he said hello to everyone and left politely.
After Yang Mi left, Jin Yubin, the youngest among the Koreans, stamped his feet and held Jin Minxi's hand:
"Unnie!!!"
Her eyes were full of excitement:
"Wonderful!!!"
Hearing this, Jin Minxi smiled and nodded:
"Yu Bin~ Director Xu~ This is Director Xu~~"The Secret That Cannot Be Told"~"
A unique Korean exclamation came out of her mouth.
However, several Korean men were unable to refute...
If nothing else, they have learned a lot.
It turns out... you can still say hello to a girl in this way after smoking.
To be able to use this gentlemanly approach to prevent the girl's hands from being stained with the smell of cigarette smoke while gaining favorability points...
I really learned it.
I have learned a lot...
Jin Yubin, stomping his feet excitedly, had already taken out his mobile phone.
First, he posted a photo with Xu Xin on his Twitter, and then paired it with a set of text:
“KKKKK, excited, big hair!
Taking a photo with Xu Xin, the director of "Secret" and saying hello
The director has a great style! /shy smile/shy smile/shy smile
He had just finished smoking and when he greeted us, he stretched out his fist.
It felt strange at first, but at that moment we understood that the smell of his cigarette did not want to get on our hands.
Super gentleman! Completely great! KKKKK
Really completely delicate, gentle, gentlemanly, respectful of women.
KKKKK”
As a member of the film team participating in the Berlin Film Festival, a leader among the new generation of Korean actresses, and an actress who has won the Best Actress award at international film festivals, her words and deeds have made a mark in South Korea, a country that is not big in the first place. Naturally, it received a lot of attention.
What's more, it's just early six in the afternoon in South Korea.
Her Instagram post received many replies within seconds.
"He sounds like a very gentleman."
"I like his wife Yang Mi better."
"Fist bump? Shouldn't it be a half-hand shake? People from China seem to be very ignorant of etiquette."
"Look clearly, Xu Xin has just finished smoking, and there will be a smell on her fingers. The mixture of perfume and cigarette smell on the actress's body will be super weird. That's why it was changed to a fist bump. Nice details!"
"The best director in Venice and such a gentleman, there must be many women who like him, right?"
"He and Yang Mi are very affectionate."
"Love in the entertainment industry is a lie. I'm afraid I have used this method to trick many actresses in private."
"Korean men, please watch and learn more about what it means to truly respect women! Director Xu Xin is great!"
"Not only do men not learn, they also spread rumors that he plays with actresses. The inferior qualities are deeply ingrained."
"Males will definitely look down on males who are better than them. But this detail of this director has surpassed 99.9% of males."
"Support the fist bump ceremony! Men who smoke are particularly disgusting! I put on fragrant hand cream in the morning and the disgusting smell of cigarette smoke makes me wash my hands like crazy! Director Xu Xin is such a gentleman, I like it!"
"Men who smoke are disgusting? Then you like Xu Xin?"
"What does it have to do with you, disgusting man with a low head!"
"It's so funny. How can a foreigner make you proud with just a fist bump?"
"Smoking men never care about the trouble caused by the smell of cigarettes. Director Xu Xin is very gentle, pays great attention to details, and respects women. He is also very handsome~ he is a perfect example of a good man!"
"KKKK, I learned it. It seems that the men in our country are not gentlemen enough."
Jin Yubin's tweet caused a complete uproar.
…
Xu Xin may have never dreamed that one of his casual actions might set off a storm in the public opinion environment of a certain country.
This thing... most people really can't think of it.
In fact, Yang Mi taught him this fist bumping ceremony, and he didn't realize it before. When I went to see the child off, there was a good friend of his in Yangyang's class. The mother of the child was met by everyone in the morning. Since it was the first time they met, Xu Xin shook hands and said hello politely. .
The mother put some hand cream on her hands, and Xu Xin got out of the car to smoke. After the two shook hands and exchanged a cigarette, when they got in the car again, the hand cream on the mother's hands and Xu Xin's The smell of smoke on Xin's fingertips mixed into a very strange smell.
After Yang Mi smelled it, she reminded him:
"After you finish smoking, quickly wipe it with a wet wipe. The smell is quite unpleasant, and it's not good to get it on other people's hands."
It was also from that time that Xu Xin realized this problem and began to correct it.
Originally it was just a small detail, but once you thought of it, it became synonymous with being a gentleman...
But.
He doesn't know about it now.
We drove all the way to the agreed interview location and found it was a coffee shop.
In this cafe, Xu Xin not only saw the coffee, but also the wine behind the bar and several taps specializing in beer.
So, new knowledge points GET√
German red wine is called WEIN.
The ingredients in German cafes are quite complex.
The environment of this cafe is quite good, and I don’t know who took the lead in contacting him. After he arrived, the cafe put up a sign that it was temporarily closed, and the reporters inside were already in place.
Two tables joined together were filled with a variety of microphones.
There are two fill lights next to it.
At this time, an Asian man wearing waiter makeup came over:
"Director Xu, what are you drinking?"
"Chinese people?"
Xu Xin was a little surprised.
Then I saw an international couple.
It turns out that this cafe is opened by a German boss and a Chinese boss lady.
The next block is Tianchao City Chinatown.
It was rented out by reporters for half a day today in order to interview the crew of "Heart of the Sun".
No matter what, you will definitely feel happy if you meet an old friend in a foreign country.
Xu Xin looked at the menu and found out that this store not only sold coffee, red wine, beer, but also tea, so he ordered a pot of "jelly grass tea"... although he didn't know what jelly grass tea was.
Then he took Zhang Songwen and Zhong Changyou to sit at a table filled with microphones.
Reporters also quickly gathered around.
"Director Xu, are you still used to it when you first came to Berlin?"
"Director Xu, in today's movie viewing guide, "Scorching Sun" is the number one recommendation again. Do you have any ideas?"
"Director Xu..."
Xu Xin didn't respond to any of the questions they asked.
Instead, he sat in his seat and looked around.
Eh?
The reporter named Sun didn't come?
What's going on?
I have encountered it in Cannes, I have encountered it in Venice... Berlin is not coming?
Could it be that he is of mixed Jewish ancestry? Racial suppression?
After an inexplicably racist joke popped into his head, Xu Xin, sensing something was wrong, quickly gathered his thoughts and waved his hand:
"Let me say a few words first."
The atmosphere instantly quieted down.
And the Chinese waiter who worked part-time also brought the so-called "herb tea".
Xu Xin was stunned at the sight.
A large chrysanthemum was soaked in a glass pot, and a layer of tea leaves was surrounding the chrysanthemum.
He opened the lid and sniffed it first...
"Green tea?"
The waiter nodded:
"Yes, Director Xu, people here have more complex tastes, and this kind of tea is quite popular."
"..."
Xu Xin's mouth twitched...
All right.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
After pouring a cup of tea for Zhong Changyou and Zhang Songwen, he said to the reporters:
"We still have a lot of time, let me introduce you first. This is Director Zhong Changyou, the leader of our Xiying Studio at the Berlin Film Festival this time."
Zhong Changyou stood up and greeted everyone:
"Hello, everyone."
The reporters were stunned... and then sparse applause rang out.
All of a sudden, the smell of a state-owned enterprise meeting became stronger.
Then Xu Xin continued to introduce with his hands:
"This teacher is Zhang Songwen. She plays the role of Wanwan designer in "The Burning Sun". I don't need to say much about Zhang's excellent acting skills. Everyone should have watched the movie these days..."
Hearing this, the reporters thought, "Yes."
The tongue is long.
It's almost that Zhang Yi didn't have a gastroscopy...
But immediately heard Xu Xin's second sentence:
"And, Zhang is not only an excellent actor, but also a teacher who taught me and Yang Mi. When I was in Beijing Film Academy, I still remember Zhang's class."
"..."
This time, Zhang Songwen couldn't hold it back.
Although he was very grateful to Xu Xin for using so many identity descriptions to introduce himself...and the meaning of doing so is also easy to understand, that is, he wanted reporters to remember him, or when writing articles and publishing news, he would no longer be that unknown person.
But can you not use the four words "still remember" to describe this?
I only taught you one lesson in total.
You slept so soundly in that class...
I should remember it clearly.
But despite thinking about it, he still stood up and bowed politely:
"Hello everyone, I am actor Zhang Songwen."
"Pa pa pa pa..."
The applause was better than that of Zhong Changyou.
At this time, Xu Xin smiled and said:
"How is it? Can you hear it? Teacher Zhang is actually from Guangdong. For Guangdong actors, Mandarin is a natural barrier. You can imagine the level of Teacher Zhang who can do this?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
No one from the reporters responded.
After all, Xu Xin was not asking them.
But...
Some reporters who were more active heard it.
Director Xu introduced this person named Zhang Songwen right at the beginning...
What does it mean?
Is Xiying Studio going to operate another male actor?
Or is Director Xu personally promoting him?
Are you so optimistic about him?
Zhang Songwen... right?
Well, this person needs to be paid attention to.
It would be better if we can build a good relationship. If we become famous in the future, we can rely on this fate and maybe... we can really get this job!
As a reporter, especially an entertainment reporter, who would miss such an opportunity?
Reporting the situation, I saw an expert yesterday afternoon. The expert said that we should first use physical therapy and apply medicine, and then observe regularly. Basically once a month, if the expansion stops and the lump disappears, it's okay. But if there is expansion, we can intervene in time.
This news... is neither good nor bad. This is 7,000 words, and there is another chapter in the early morning.
