Chapter 975 969 Left Eye Twitching Means Fortune, Right Eye Twitching Means Disaster

Chapter 975 969. Left eye twitching brings wealth, right eye twitching brings disaster

"Are you asleep?"

"Shh... I should be asleep."

"Then... what should I do?"

"... Must it be tonight? I really took a flight for more than ten hours, I'm not lying to you!"

"Hurry up! Go and carry the child back to the room!"

"I... Puff! Cough cough cough..."

Looking at her husband who was hunched over in an exaggerated way and coughing softly and "violently", Yang Mi was speechless, but her eyes were burning with fire:

"Okay, stop pretending! Hurry up!"

Knowing that he couldn't avoid it tonight, Xu Xin's body froze.

Helplessly sat up.

He picked up Nuannuan and walked out.

First Nuannuan, then Yangyang.

As a result, when Yangyang was just carried out of the master bedroom, suddenly, the ringtone of the iPhone rang in the quiet and dark room.

"!"

Yang Mi felt her blood pressure "buzzing" up.

Damn it!

It's not over yet!

Who would call at such an evil time! ! ! ! !

She flew up from the bed with a bang, grabbed the phone on the bedside table fiercely and was about to hang up.

The result...

Caller: Liu Momo.

"..."

The anger on her face turned into helplessness.

Looking at her husband who came in, she waved to him to close the door, answered the phone and turned on the speaker:

"Hello, Sister Mo."

"Are you asleep?"

"Not yet."

"Where's Xu Xin?"

"Next to me."

"Uh... Did I call at the wrong time?"

"No, we were chatting. The child just fell asleep."

"Is that so... That's just right, Mimi, isn't Xu Xin going to the shooting range with Keanu tomorrow? Do you want to go with me to find Luc Besson?"

"...Ah?"

Yang Mi was stunned.

Xu Xin also sat down on the bed in confusion and asked:

"Why do you want to find him?"

"Let him see your wife. "LUCY" is a movie with a female lead, let's give it a try."

"I..."

Yang Mi's first reaction was to refuse.

In the morning, she was still talking to her husband about taking on another Hollywood movie. She was a dog.

A promotional period would take up half a year of her time. Can you bear it?

But...

This person is not someone else, but Sister Mo.

In private, they are very good friends.

Even if I have decided not to play such a cross-border role again, it is another matter for a friend to really ask for help. What's more...Nifeng is still my own company.

In public...Sister Mo is a royal relative, let alone meeting her once, and may not even have heard of her.

She knows exactly where her husband wants to go. And Sister Mo's "dream" is actually very simple, that is, to make a career for herself. Plus Uncle Liu...

If foreign actors can't be negotiated, then domestic actors...If she really asks, who wouldn't agree?

At this time, she heard Xu Xin say:

"Yang Mi doesn't..."

"Okay."

Instinctively, Yang Mi agreed directly and covered her husband's mouth.

"???"

Xu Xin thought, are you sick?

No.

You are a dog, right?

Aren't you a dog?

You said in the morning that you would be a dog if you filmed a Hollywood movie again, but you changed your mind in the afternoon?

"Ah? What did Xu Xin say? I didn't hear you clearly just now."

"He didn't say anything. He said, aren't you looking for me? Then...Sister Mo, what time should we meet tomorrow? Can I take the child? The child can't leave me these two days."

"Okay. Then I'll pick you up tomorrow?"

"Okay. That's it, you two should be careful, hahaha~"

"Oh!!"

Amidst the jokes, the phone was hung up.

Xu Xin had a question mark on his forehead:

"What are you doing?"

The young lady across from him nodded directly:

"Well, let's start!"

"???"

With a look of "are you sick?", Xu Xin slapped her hand that was stretched out to him:

"Wait a minute. Let's make it clear, why are you still accepting it?"

"What do you mean by accepting it? It's so unpleasant! We are an old couple, what's wrong? You still want to give me a red envelope?"

"Hmm???"

No.

You are probably slipping into a big ideological slip.

Are we talking about the same thing?

Looking at her husband's puzzled eyes, Yang Mi didn't explain much.

What can she say?

"I accepted it for your consideration."

She didn't dare to say this.

Because with her husband's temper, if he heard that she didn't want to, he would definitely go directly to Sister Mo and push the matter away.

So there's no need to say it.

You feel sorry for me, I know.

But at the same time, I also know what to do to help you the most.

I don't want to accept it either.

But I'm your wife.

I will also work hard for you and this family.

So, she said nothing.

Xu Xin's eyes blurred.

The next second, he was lying on the bed~

SKR~

"Muhahaha~ Brother! I'm here!"

I've been waiting for three pairs of pants, and finally it's my turn!!!

Oh, this is SEI's little baby, why is he so rare~

I'm so greedy!

Muhahaha~

...

"Sister..."

"Hmm?"

"What are you thinking? Why did you take the job? Didn't you want to stop filming?"

It was almost 12 o'clock.

In the calm, Xu Xin held her, watching the reflection of the swimming pool outside the window through the glass, and the ripples on the bedroom wall, and asked again the doubts in his heart.

"You must support your own business."

"... That's it?"

"Yeah, that's it."

"But why do I feel that you are doing it because of Sister Mo..."

"Oh, okay."

The woman who was originally being held by her husband and enjoying herself suddenly turned around and put her finger on her lover's lips.

"Let's not talk about this. Are you sleepy now?"

"What... What are you going to do?"

"Hehe~"

She smiled evilly and arched into the quilt.

"..."

Xu Xin rubbed his face.

Alas...

What a sin.

What was she thinking at the beginning? Why did she fall in love with such a thing.

It's almost like a succubus.

I'm annoyed... Who can replace me? I can't stand it anymore.

…

"Mom~"

"Hey, baby, what's wrong?"

"You look so beautiful today~"

Looking at her radiant mother, Nuan Nuan flattered her.

"Oh, baby, you are so good~ Your mouth is so sweet? Come, let mom kiss you~"

"Hehehe~"

In the harmonious atmosphere of a loving mother and a filial daughter, Yang Yang sat at the dining table, looking left and right...

Where's my dad?

…

Xu Xin didn't have an American driver's license, so Keanu Reeves drove to pick him up.

A... Porsche 911 that didn't look like a new model.

And for some reason, when Xu Xin saw this 911, his first reaction was:

"Keanu, do you like racing?"

For no reason, he was a little scared.

After hearing what he said, the other party just looked at him in confusion:

"Xu, I usually ride a motorcycle. A retro motorcycle. Have you ever seen a retro motorcycle owner who likes to race?"

Now, Xu Xin felt more at ease:

"I'm afraid I'll become Paul."

"Who is Paul?"

"Uh... just... um?... I can't remember it for a moment."

Looking at the strange Xu Xin, Keanu Reeves was a little puzzled.

Then his eyes fell on the Escalade in the garage.

"How about we drive your Escalade? If you think the 911 is unsafe."

"I can't drive it. This car is for the servants at home to buy groceries and so on. I have a contract with Volvo. As for the choice of SUV, I can only drive Volvo when I go out."

As he said, he opened the door of the 911:

"Let's go."

"OK."

Keanu Reeves didn't feel anything strange about his car endorsement.

He even talked to him about the XC90's "The Matrix" idea, which he also thought was great.

Unfortunately, the car is just a means of transportation for him, and his favorite is still on the motorcycle.

In this way, 911 left home and rushed to the suburbs of Los Angeles.

The place they went to was naturally not an ordinary gun store shooting range, but a private shooting range of an arms dealer friend that Keanu knew.

It is not open to the public, there are few people, and there is no need to worry about being watched.

Along the way, the two were talking about John Wick.

After arriving at this suburban shooting range, 911 had just parked in the parking space, and three or five foreigners who looked unusual came over.

The leader was called Wood Logan.

He is a retired member of the Navy SEALs and the weapons expert in charge of the two people today.

Because Xu Xin is a foreigner, he has to provide passports and other procedures for registration.

When the procedures were completed, Keanu Reeves had already put on a bulletproof vest and stood in the corridor at the junction of the gun area and the shooting range that simulates the wild environment.

He was leaning against the pillar, and Xu Xin didn't see him at first.

It was not until he smelled the smoke that he realized that Keanu was leaning against the side of a wooden pillar smoking.

Xu Xin thought to himself that you scared me.

But he was immediately stunned.

It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning, and the sun had not yet reached its highest point.

The shadow of the person was still slanted.

But the reason why Xu Xin did not see his friend was because he was hiding from the sun and standing on the shady side of the pillar.

The choice of wood by the Americans highlighted a simple, rough and brainless waste of resources, and the area chosen for this weapon was decorated in the style of a hunter's wooden house. The pillars at the door could be used to make coffins in China.

He was hidden by the pillar.

And his shadow was also integrated into the shadow of the pillar.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xin suddenly flashed a picture in his mind.

"...Xu, are you done?"

Keanu Reeves, who was smoking, found Xu Xin standing behind him, motionless and in a daze.

Hearing this, Xu Xin suddenly turned his head and looked at Wood who was rushing over:

"Wood, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Is the shadow important?"

In Wood's puzzled eyes, Xu Xin pointed at Keanu Reeves who was standing there:

"When you are fighting, do you really pay attention to the shadows on the floor according to the different angles of light?"

"Of course."

Wood nodded slightly:

"In fact, special operations sometimes use the same principles as hunting. As a hunter, when we track prey, if the distance between you and an elk is very long, so long that you are not sure of a fatal shot... or you see it in the distance and want to hunt. As a hunter, you can't just walk over, because sometimes animals have a more sensitive sense of smell than hearing. They may smell something several kilometers away.

So, at this time, we can observe the wind direction and must go around to its leeward side. The headwind can help you hide the smell on your body and complete the hunt. The same is true for special operations. Shadows, wind direction, dust raised by the body during actions, reflections from the scope... These factors are all environmental factors that we need to consider..."

Perhaps it's because of the difference between soldiers and civilians.

Or because Xu Xin is a foreigner, he didn't answer Xu Xin's question very positively, or give a more vivid example explanation.

You know, when everyone met for the first time just now, the person at the shooting range next to him introduced Wood as having participated in many wars and having very professional knowledge of firearms and practical experience.

Xu Xin didn't care either.

He just looked at Keanu Reeves thinking.

Then, in the other party's increasingly puzzled eyes, he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, and wrote in the memo:

"Hide, blend into the environment, let the audience find it, and kill it with one blow - → like a ninja."

"Xu, what's wrong?"

"Keanu, we have to give Wick a behavior."

Xu Xin's eyes lit up slightly, and said:

"He should have a subconscious mind in any environment. Hide and blend into the environment... Think about it, you are a guard, and you are leaning against a pillar and smoking.

I am a camera, I will give you a close-up shot from the front. The previous second, there was nothing behind you, but just when you took a puff of cigarette, the camera in front of you slowly moved to the side... Wick was looking at the back of your head calmly. Then kill you silently...

Imagine that Wick's behavior runs through the entire movie. He is a killer, and his first reaction to completing the task is not to use hot weapons, but to hide, Approach the target and perform the infiltration mission.

But he is also a human being, he will be discovered, and after being discovered, he will use hot weapons to solve the enemy... Of course, there is actually no difference between these two methods, and they are adjusted according to different occasions. But Wick's entire behavior is consistent throughout, that is, whether he is performing a mission or taking revenge, he always follows the instinct of a killer. Hide, sneak in, and kill with one strike..."

At this point, he paused and gave a sentence that made Keanu Reeves look stunned, but the domestic audience smiled knowingly after hearing and seeing it, and subconsciously muttered "Here we go again":

"We can even play a small game with the audience in the movie. For example, build a complex environment... like the scene in the script when Wick takes revenge in the bar. We put Wick in a crowded and chaotic dance floor... Let the audience find him by themselves! ”

"!"

Following Xu Xin's description, Keanu Reeves began to imagine.

In the dimly lit bar.

MR. Wick is like a ghost that outsiders cannot detect in the twisting crowd on the dance floor.

He was looming in the blind spot of everyone, even the audience... The audience was looking for him, and the enemies were looking for him too.

But just as they were looking around, Wick came to them quietly...

"Wow! I mean... Wow!"

He was amazed, and then nodded in agreement:

"This is great, Xu, use this style! Very good!... Very good!! I can't wait!"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Then it's up to you, my friend."

"Of course, Wood, shall we start?"

Soon, the sound of gunfire rang out in the shooting range.

Keanu Reeves had obviously played with guns, so he started to learn tactical moves with Wood directly.

So the gunfire was from Xu Xin.

He was discussing with his safety instructor at the moment, wanting to play with Gatling for a while.

It would be best if it was the kind that emits blue fire...

Of course.

The safety instructor thought that this Chinese man probably had some serious illness.

His brain was not normal.

…

Compared to Xu Xin's BIABIABIA~

Yang Mi's side was peaceful.

Unlike the big director she had in mind, Luc Besson looked like a very kind fat man.

And, because of the arrival of the guests, he actually cooked for the two of them.

Not to mention, the food was quite fragrant.

At least the buttery taste was great.

Thanks to Liu Momo, Yang Mi didn't seem particularly unfamiliar with him after meeting him, and Nuan Nuan and Yang Yang also liked his vineyard.

Yes, Yang Mi also learned from Liu Momo when she arrived that Director Luc Besson had a vineyard here. Although it was not big, it was also one of the grape suppliers for the famous wine brands in California.

Of course, "grape supplier" is a beautified name. The actual situation is that the red wine brands in California have monopolized this unique area. As long as it is a vineyard, it must be a supplier of one of those brands, which is not surprising.

This is the first time for the two children to play in the vineyard, and they showed great interest.

Although it was not the grape harvest season yet, the two children's eyes were still shining as they looked at the grapes growing in a row facing the sun.

After getting my mother's permission, I ran there.

The location where Luc Besson used to entertain the two of them was also chosen under a garden pavilion built outside the manor.

I can see my baby and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The breeze is pleasant.

Don't tell me... Yang Mi was very excited.

or……

Get one?

As a member of a generation that has been influenced by American movies since childhood, she yearns for the kind of farm life with mountains and water.

While he was thinking about this matter, Luc Besson, who was wiping his hands with a towel, also came over:

"Molly, how long has it been since you tasted my beef bourguignon?"

"I just ate it last year, uncle. That's what I ate the day I got the script."

"Huh?...Hahaha, okay. Time flies so fast, I even forgot about it."

English with a unique French accent came out of his mouth. Then, he sat down at the wooden table and poured a glass of white wine on his own.

Then he asked Molly:

"Want to invest in this script?"

"Um."

Liu Momo nodded directly, pointed at Yang Mi and said:

"Uncle, not only is it an investment, I also recommend Yang to be the heroine, how about it?"

Luc Besson immediately made a surrender gesture, his face full of helplessness:

"Molly~ You really should change your straightforward way of talking."

"Otherwise? Do you and uncle need to hide anything?"

"……All right."

Although helpless, Yang Mi could also see that the relationship between the two was quite good. Especially Luc Besson, he was quite proud after hearing Sister Mo's words.

However, success comes from success.

The famous French director, who was holding a cheese stick to go with his wine and took another sip of wine, thought for a moment and said:

"Honestly, I don't doubt your acting skills, Yang. I've watched Wang's movies and you did a good job. But...of course, I don't mean to offend. It's just Molly, you have to understand, this is Hollywood. . Not to mention the arrogant Americans who accept movies with Asian actors, even European actors are not particularly accepting.”

"Uncle, are you afraid that the box office won't be high and no one will watch it?"

"Of course not, dear Molly. I'm afraid you'll lose money~"

Luc Besson looked at her with a little "think about it" worry gradually emerging in his eyes.

At the same time, after saying this, he turned to Yang Mi and said:

"Of course, again, Yang, I mean no offense. But..."

"I can understand it. Including when I was filming "Pacific Rim", I actually heard about this from Director Gilmour. "Pacific Rim" itself is an original science fiction film, and Charlie and I were chosen As a male and female lead, many people are worried about the box office issue. I understand the audience size here as an Asian. "

That's all she said, and she didn't continue.

because……

She doesn’t want to act either!

But communication requires skills.

She directly rejected Sister Mo without sending a message yesterday.

But today with Luc Besson, she could say this.

In front of Sister Mo, I told the director:

"I understand that my Asian face may not be acceptable in Hollywood."

As for what she just said, she actually added another sentence:

"But I have confidence in myself."

This can actually show confidence... In other words, in the opinion of a Berlin film queen, a film like "LUCY" is not difficult.

It's more than enough to drive.

The top three European best actresses are not some lousy awards.

But she didn't add it.

Just through that paragraph, I would like to remind you of Sister Mo who said "We need a profitable movie to increase our popularity" when we were rushing here this morning:

"If you want to make money, you'd better find a local from Hollywood. My face... is not worthy of being in Hollywood!"

"But I have confidence in Mimi!"

"..."

Liu Momo's words made Yang Mi's left eyelid start to twitch crazily.

The left eye indicates wealth and the right eye indicates disaster.

What does it mean? Is this God telling me that this film is going to make money?

Under the gaze of Luc Besson, Liu Momo said:

"Uncle, on a larger scale, I am working hard for the Asian community, or for Asian actors to be recognized by Hollywood. On a smaller scale...or to be more realistic. Your reputation is well-known in Hollywood and Europe. It's attractive enough, and Mimi's influence in China is also very high. As you said, the cost of this film is not particularly high. I can't see why it will lose money. What's more, I am very confident. Headwind has released an immature film in the past two years...Uncle~~~"

The corners of Yang Mi's mouth also began to twitch.

Oh my god.

Sister Mo can actually act like a baby...

What a great experience.

Sister, your character is a bit broken.

But when Luc Besson heard this, he was happy:

"Haha, little Molly, I knew... when Juliette and you teamed up to defraud me of this script, you had already made up your mind."

There was no blame in his words.

Instead, he smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Then he said:

"Okay, about the script casting... Yang, when will your movie be released? When will the promotion period end?"

"The premiere will be on July 1st. As for the promotion work...I can't say when it will end, but the contract stipulates that you must participate in the promotion activities before July 1st. Promotion after the 1st is negotiable. The schedule is arranged It’s not very tight, and it will all be over before August.”

"Well..."

Luc Besson, who had gained weight and looked kind-hearted but somewhat slovenly, thought for a moment and turned to look at Liu Momo again:

"Are you sure you want to invest?"

"certainly."

After getting this answer, Luc Besson raised four fingers:

"My estimate for this script is about 40 million US dollars, including all the special effects. Do you need me to help you find someone else to share the cost?"

"No problem, uncle, no need at all!"

"...Okay. If you want to invest, then do it. You can go to the association to submit the shooting procedures in the next two days. I have already completed the location selection and other work. Once the project is approved, you can enter the preparation period. It’s May now, two months of preparation is enough…

However, I can't guarantee you whether Yang is suitable for Lucy. What's more, Molly, you need to understand the director's artistic requirements for the work. So, I still hold auditions and try to send out some invitations. Yang will come over then... You have a complete script. From this point of view, the advantage is much greater than others. I'm looking forward to you Yang conquering me with your acting skills. How about it? "

Although the person in front of him is the "financier"...it is obvious that even without Liu Momo, the story of "LUCY" and the name Luc Besson will not lack investors rushing to send money.

So what he said was very straightforward.

And as Luc Besson let go, Liu Momo's eyes lit up.

Confidence is rippling in his eyes:

"Of course, no problem, uncle!"

The corner of Yang Mi's mouth began to twitch again...

However, she didn't have much psychological burden.

Although Luc Besson is not a top-tier director in Hollywood, his reputation and ability are equally impressive.

If he opens his mouth, if nothing else, top celebrities will give him face.

When so many Hollywood A-list celebrities come here to audition, what will happen to me as a little Karami?

Although as an actress, she has her own bottom line when facing auditions, and naturally she will not mess around.

What's more, if he was really fooled... Sister Mo wouldn't be able to explain it.

But she also knows the rules of the Hollywood game.

So...I don't feel particularly panicked.

But I suddenly understood Sister Mo’s behavior from her husband’s words.

"Sister Mo is the kind of person who thinks things through before doing things. But when it is her turn to make a decision, she will become extremely stubborn, extremely self-persistent, and even somewhat blind. She will listen to other people's opinions. , but how much you listen to depends on whether the opinion is in the same direction as her decision.”

It's really not wrong at all.

That's you...

The decision is made directly with 40 million.

Oh yes, it’s still US dollars...

If it were anyone else, I would have held her head down to wake her up and told her: "I am the boss"!

Tsk tsk...

With a bit of emotion, but in her heart she was not optimistic that she would be chosen as the heroine of "LUCY". Suddenly, she was stunned.

Huh?

Why does my right eyelid start to twitch too?

Pooh!

Feudal superstition is harmful!

I am at odds with it!

In fact, I have never told anyone about my situation. I live with my wife and children. This has been true since the child was born. So sometimes people see that this is the reason why I suddenly take leave because of my children.

Because there was no one around to help us, we had to do everything by ourselves as a family. I got sick and went to the hospital by myself. The daughter-in-law is sick and the daughter-in-law goes to the hospital by herself. When the child is sick, the three of us go to the hospital together, she takes care of the child, and I line up to get medicine and run errands.

So I had to take leave because of the little things that might have happened to others.

I'm so sorry.

That’s it for today, sorry everyone.
