Chapter 972 966 Hello, Mr. Wick

Chapter 972 R. Wick

To be honest, the long-distance flight was really tiring.

But fortunately, everyone had hope.

The old Yang couple missed their daughter, Xu Xin missed his wife, and after a nap, Nuannuan and Yangyang found that they were still on the plane, and seemed to react belatedly.

"Dad, are we going to find mom?"

After getting a positive answer, the siblings were completely furious.

They were running and jumping on the plane.

It was Nuannuan who was running.

It was Yangyang who jumped on the stewardess's thigh.

Anyway, it was quite outrageous.

Maybe it was a man's intuition? No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his child would be a very great scumbag in the future.

This child... won't go to make porn in the future, right?

Looking at the child who was "talking and laughing" with the stewardess, he felt a sense of worry in his heart.

So much so that he didn't bother to care about his daughter who was jumping up and down.

Then, after a 15-hour long journey, the family arrived in Los Angeles at 9 am on May 2.

Yang Mi didn't come to pick him up. In fact, she didn't arrive until 2 a.m. last night.

She was equally exhausted.

So Xu Xin didn't ask him to pick him up at all, but got on the car sent by Volvo and started to drive all the way to Beverly Hills.

In the car, he sent a message to several friends, including Keanu Reeves, telling them that he had arrived in Los Angeles, and then he was caught up in the endless questioning of "Where is Dad and Mom?" by his two kids.

The United States today has long lost its novelty to him.

And after that novelty passed, he looked at the streets of Los Angeles, and replaced it with an "old" filter.

Their infrastructure has really not been updated for a long time.

And when they caught up with a traffic jam, Xu Xin also saw two LAPD cars, and two policemen were escorting a black guy into the police car.

Okay.

This is very American.

It is precisely because of them that there is a little traffic jam here.

On the contrary, the two children pointed out the window cutely after seeing this scene:

"Dad, the police are catching a thief!"

The little episode was quickly skipped.

Finally, when the familiar yet strange manor door slowly opened.

The family was finally reunited.

"Mom!!"

"Wow!!!! Mom!!!!"

When Yang Mi, whose eyes were still swollen and she hadn't slept for a long time, was pounced on by the two children, the manor was filled with wailing.

Yang Mi, wearing a loose T-shirt pajamas, hugged the baby tightly, kissing the left and the right.

It was obviously not a good idea.

When Mingming sent her a WeChat message on the plane to tell her that the family had set off for Los Angeles, she was still quite angry, thinking that the child would definitely miss the course. Moreover, the May Day Golden Week was so short, and they couldn't stay for a few days, so it was unnecessary to toss it once.

But now, seeing her holding the child tightly, even with her eyes red, Xu Xin estimated that if he said, "Let the child stay with you for a few more days," his wife would be able to take the two ancestors to Mexico...

But he didn't say it in the end.

The children don't have Mexican passports, so they can't go even if they want to.

They can only stay here for three or four days at most, and then they have to go back.

For now... let the mother and the children enjoy the happiness of reuniting for a moment.

...

"OK!"

This is Keanu Reeves' reply.

It was noon when the message was sent.

Xu Xin, who was eating, saw the other party's reply and twitched his mouth...

This guy didn't reply before, Xu Xin estimated that he was probably sleeping, after all, Cannes had just ended, and there was a time difference between the United States and France.

But... Brother, isn't your reply a little simple?

And he was just about to say something...

"Husband~"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Bring aloe vera gel to the child, Yangyang's shoulders are a little red now."

The weather in Los Angeles in May is really too good.

The strong sunshine and the blue and clear fish pond, shouldn't you enjoy it?

The most important thing is...it's different from home, where my mother will spank you if you jump into the fish pond, but here...you can play as you like! There are no fish yet!

As long as you can see your mother in your sight and make sure she doesn't disappear.

So, the two energetic children were making a lot of noise in the yard.

But it was obvious that their delicate skin was not suitable for being tormented by the Los Angeles sunshine.

"Oh, okay."

Xu Xin responded and put down his phone.

The battery of his phone was already red, so he had to charge it quickly.

He took the aloe vera gel specially used for soothing the skin to the side of the swimming pool, and said to his wife who was applying it to the two children:

"When will Sister Mo arrive? I'm a little hungry."

"Why don't you ask... Don't move! Xu Wanqing! You stay quiet! I'll beat you up!"

Listening to their mother's fierce tone, the two children were not afraid, but had a kind of "comfortable" playful smile.

"My phone is out of battery, and it's charging."

"Then wait a moment."

Soon, a tube of aloe vera gel was applied to the two children as if it was free.

"Okay, you two stop playing, go find grandma to change clothes, and mom will take you to bed after dinner."

After forcibly commanding the two children to stop their "fish pond" behavior, the two children left happily, leaving the old couple alone.

Yang Mi took the initiative to extend her hand.

After holding her husband's hand, her eyes gradually became moist.

"I'll coax them in a while, you go take a shower too."

Xu Xin said sternly:

"Female donor, please respect yourself."

The young woman was not annoyed when she heard this, but she smiled lightly and sat directly in his arms, with her fingers against her lover's chest:

"Brother Yudi~ What you said makes me so sad~"

Her voice became more charming, and her laughter became crisp:

"Hehehe~ People say that monks are empty~ Good brother, look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty~"

Oh my god.

What's wrong with this woman recently?

Has her skills improved?

Why is she so desperate to tease people?

What a pity...

"Ding ding dong dong..."

The phone of the iPhone rang.

Sitting in her husband's arms, the little sister with tears in her eyes immediately showed an impatient look on her face.

Who is it?

How can you ruin someone's good deeds?

As a result, I picked up the phone and saw...

Yes.

"Here, Sister Mo."

Xu Xin took the call:

"Hello, Sister Mo."

"Open the door, I'm here."

"Okay."

When Yang Mi heard this, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Alas...

What can I do?

"You go open the door, I'll change my clothes and go see if the chef's meal is ready."

This time, the family hired a Japanese chef...

Bracket: a female.

Yang Mi didn't want her husband to think too much.

As for why she didn't find a Chinese chef...maybe it was because of her sense of privacy. She didn't want the Chinese to know her recent situation here, including the house, the circle of communication, and her private living habits.

Even if the chefs hired by this kind of manor are strictly trained.

That won't work.

So she chose a Japanese chef with similar tastes, named Mishima Jiko, a big sister in her forties. Among the Asian chefs in Los Angeles, she is a kind of chef with a good family background.

The food was delicious, especially the kaiseki cuisine, which tasted really good.

What's more... if she really wanted to eat Chinese food, she could make it herself.

Xu Xin came to the door and opened the gate of the manor remotely.

Soon, a Bentley that looked very businesslike but unusually stable drove in.

When Liu Momo got out of the car, Xu Xin realized that this sister had actually started to grow her hair long.

"Oh? Changed your hairstyle?... Have a boyfriend?"

Liu Momo took off her sunglasses and showed a speechless expression:

"Are you sick? Why do I feel like you are urging me to get married every time I see me?"

"Isn't this the task Uncle Liu gave me?"

"Please him or please me, choose one."

"Hahaha, only children make choices! I want them all!"

Listening to Xu Xin's words, Liu Momo shook his head helplessly and handed the briefcase in his hand to Xu Xin.

"Here, the script."

Obviously, there are several scripts provided by Paramount that they think are good.

Then, she opened the back door and took out another thicker file bag:

"This is against the wind."

"..."

When the file bag, which was as thick as a dictionary, fell into his hand, Xu Xin realized the seriousness of the matter:

"So many!?"

"What do you think I do here every day? These are all bought with real money."

"...Sister, why didn't you tell me that you bought so much before I came!?"

Liu Momo sneered:

"You said it as if you would still come after knowing it."

Xu Xin thought to himself that you are cheating your father...

Of course, I dare not say this out loud.

Afraid of death.

Then, when the two walked into the house, Liu Momo said:

"You haven't changed your chef, right? Is it still the Japanese chef?"

"Yes...Have you eaten it?"

"Yes, her food tastes pretty good..."

The two chatted and entered the house. Just then, Yang Mi also came downstairs.

Xu Xin was stunned.

Didn't you say you were going to change clothes?

This...isn't it the same outfit as before?

What did she change into?

"Sister."

Compared to Xu Xin's surprise at Liu Momo's gradually growing hair, Yang Mi seemed much calmer.

The two of them are now in a relationship of alcoholism.

Yang Mi is tired, and Liu Momo has no man.

Just to keep each other company.

It is said that he drinks a bottle every day this month.

The stock of the winery of his classmate's family that Wang Sicong got in France is about to run out.

These days, I am thinking of ways to buy it for my mother quickly.

"Where is the child?"

"He is changing clothes upstairs. You two chat first, I'll go to the kitchen to see."

After she finished speaking, she walked out and went to the large kitchen of the manor that was specially used for entertaining guests, which was more like a professional hotel kitchen.

And Xu Xin took Liu Momo directly to a small room on the first floor.

That is a cigar bar, where you can smoke.

After arriving in the room and sitting down, Xu Xin began to open the file bag.

At this time, one of the servants who appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the house had brought two glasses of lemonade.

These servants actually have never had much presence, mainly because Yang Mi doesn't like having someone around her when she is doing something.

So unless the hostess needs them, they will not appear in the hostess' sight most of the time after they finish their work such as cleaning.

Even if they appear, they basically serve tea and water without saying a word. After finishing their work, they quietly leave.

From this point of view... this job is quite easy.

"Is Paramount in a hurry recently?"

"Why should they be in a hurry? The foundation of the old company is there. Old companies like Hollywood have strong risk resistance. Although the entire film industry is being impacted by some emerging companies such as Marvel, they are one of the largest distributors in North America, and they have obtained the distribution rights for several Marvel movies. They are old enough. As long as they don't kill themselves, there will be no problem."

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded slightly, and after taking out the script, he found out...

"Why is it in English?"

Liu Momo thought, isn't this nonsense.

You don't not understand English now.

I'm talking about...

"Paramount has only given me these scripts a few days ago, so you can take a look first. They gave me a series of scripts, including the characters. Don't look at how thick it is, there are actually only six or seven stories."

"Okay."

He picked up a script at random and started reading it.

But he threw it aside after taking a look.

American horror movie.

He was not interested.

And these scripts were bound together. After taking one, the thickness of all the scripts was instantly reduced.

The second one, he was not interested in the name.

"Magic and Wizards and Black Forest"...

"How did they let me, an Asian, shoot a Western fantasy movie?"

Seeing Xu Xin holding a script and pointing at the title on it, Liu Momo was a little speechless...

"I said this is what I chose, do you believe it?...Have you not seen HP? Don't you like that kind of story?"

"HP...Harry Potter?"

"Yes."

"..."

Xu Xin thought to himself that your vision for choosing movies is really as bad as ever...

So, he threw this story aside again.

He quickly scanned the next few stories, and he had read almost all the scripts in such a thick file bag.

I said I read them, but in fact I just scanned them roughly. After seeing the story themes, he basically had an idea in his mind.

He put the scripts together again and said bluntly:

"Either they are things I don't understand, such as horror movies. Or they are about some marginal groups... But these things are not easy to shoot or handle. And... I have to admit that I am a little overwhelmed when reading English scripts."

His English is the kind that is learned quickly.

In the early stage, he memorized a large number of words and the meanings of various words, and then cultivated language habits through oral practice.

It is definitely enough for daily communication.

But if it is written understanding, it is indeed a lot worse. He can roughly understand what some words mean, but in the English writing format, he will understand some things that can be called "rhetoric" more directly. It's like when foreigners read Chinese, the sentence "the north wind rolls the white grass to break" is just "a gust of north wind blows the grass off" in their eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Momo thought for a moment and said:

"Then... I'll tell them to translate these scripts into Chinese for you?"

"You don't need these few, but you can translate these horror movies, fantasy movies, etc... These two urban scripts. I'll take a look at them later."

"Yeah, that's fine."

With her agreement, Xu Xin picked up the script that Liu Momo had prepared.

He picked up the first script called "John Wick". He thought it was a biography from the name.

But he immediately saw the suffix below the name of the script: The Boogey Man

Huh?

Why does this word look familiar?

But he couldn't remember it for a while.

At this time, he saw the name in the screenwriter column.

Derek Kolstad.

Derek Kolstad.

He remembered it all of a sudden:

"Oh~~ Is it Ai Qing's cousin, the bald guy? Does he have a new story again?"

"No, it's the same one we had last time. The story of the killer."

Xu Xin nodded suddenly.

He had already read that story.

It is a film with a very simple storyline. If I remember correctly, it seems to be about the revenge of a killer. It is short, flat and fast, and there are not too many fancy words when reading.

This guy's style is very concise.

Who did the protagonist kill, BIUBIUBIU, who did he kill, ka ka ka...

But at least Xu Xin can understand the story he wrote.

Unlike those stories of Paramount, you can tell that it is written in a very formal way by taking a look at the general outline.

But he also went through this story, so he put it directly on the pile of scripts of Paramount.

The coffee table for smoking cigars is not big, and he still needs to light a cigarette.

He took out a crystal ashtray from the bottom, and just when he was about to light the cigarette, he suddenly heard Yang Mi's voice from outside:

"Husband, come quickly, Keanu is here!"

"?"

"......?"

Don't mention Xu Xin, Liu Momo was also stunned.

Keanu Reeves is here?

Xu Xin, with a cigarette still in his mouth, stood up subconsciously and walked out of the cigar bar one after another with Liu Momo.

Then I saw Keanu Reeves wearing a leather jacket, jeans, big leather shoes, and a pair of gloves that were not common in this season.

"Oh, hey, Xu~haha, friend~long time no see!"

When he saw Xu Xin coming out while talking to Yang Mi, he came over and gave Xu Xin a big hug.

"Uh..."

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

But then he suddenly remembered...I sent him a message in the morning, telling him that I had arrived in Los Angeles, and he replied "OK"...

Is this guy so straightforward?

Or are all Americans like this?

Could it be that there was something in my English sentence that meant to invite him to be a guest?

At this time, Xu Xin heard him say:

"After I came back yesterday, I attended a friend's party and stayed here. I saw you coming, so I came over directly. Sorry, Lao Chen can't come today. He is in China now. One of his relatives is not in good health. I will go to China to meet him in a few days."

After explaining the purpose of his visit, he also noticed the cigarette in Xu Xin's mouth.

But he didn't speak for the time being, but took the initiative to extend his hand to Liu Momo:

"Nihao~ I'm~Kinu~Lee~V~s! I'm~so~excited to see you!"

Liu Momo's mouth twitched...

Although she also admitted that this guy was really handsome...but after hearing the Chinese with a donut-flavored mouth, she still had a bit of a smile on her face, then shook hands with him and said in English:

"Hello, Keanu, if you don't mind me calling you that."

Under Keanu Reeves' shrugged smile, she introduced herself:

"Molly Liu. His sister~"

"Nihao~Nihao~"

Two more poor Chinese words, followed by Then, he patted his belly:

"Xu, have you eaten?"

Without Xu Xin's answer, Yang Mi smiled and said:

"You came at the right time, Keanu, wait a moment, the meal will be ready soon."

"Wow, that's great. I haven't eaten anything since last night~"

After patting his belly, he turned to Xu Xin:

"Xu, shall we go for a cigarette? Sorry, friend, I was going to bring you a bottle of good wine. But you came so suddenly..."

Xu Xin smiled slightly:

"Of course it's okay, let's go, let's go there... We'll go there first."

The rest of the words were said to Yang Mi.

Then, the three of them entered the cigar bar together.

Keanu Reeves took the Zhonghua cigarette from Xu Xin and said with a smile:

"Do you remember the cigarettes we exchanged when we first met..."

"Haha, of course I remember... Sit down."

"OK."

Keanu Reeves put the cigarette to his nose and sniffed it. After sitting down, he glanced at the two piles of documents on the table...

"Script?... Am I here at the wrong time?"

"No."

Xu Xin handed him the lighter:

"Paramount wants to work with me on a movie, so they sent me a few scripts for me to choose from. Haven't we eaten yet~"

"Oh~~"

After lighting the cigarette, the bearded and melancholy male god nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the thicker pile of scripts.

Script name: "John Wick"--The Boogey Man~

Keanu Reeves, who has seen many scripts, naturally can't say that he is "eye-catching".

But isn't that the point of the conversation?

He pointed at the script:

"Can I take a look?"

"Sure."

Originally, Xu Xin, who was thinking that his friend was coming, put the script aside for a while and chatted with him, and he casually responded.

Keanu Reeves picked up the script.

Well... Hello, Mr. Wick.

With a relaxed mood and a mentality of watching the fun, he greeted this "person" in his heart.
