Chapter 977

"Hey Elizabeth!"

"Hey Hall!"

"Uh, you went to Chinese school again?"

"Yes! I'm still learning Chinese."

"Ah, uh, I've seen The Matrix."

"Is it nice? Is it cool?"

"Cool! Cool! That's one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen! Um, I mean, I want to ask, did you actually work on that movie?"

"haha, yes."

"Wow, cool! So, you're really China Qian's friend?"

"Ah... that's right."

"Whoa, uh... uh..."

"Hall? Is there something wrong?"

"Uh... I mean, I think that movie is really good, it's worth watching over and over again, maybe even a second and third time, so if you have time..."

"Oh my God! Hall! Don't do that!"

Elizabeth smiled, shook her head, and walked forward quickly.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned his head, and said with a smile, "Do you know, Hall?"

"uh-huh?"

"Actually, you're handsome, and you even have something charming about you. But, you're not my type, so, um, go grab someone who cherishes you, OK? We're good friends, right?"

Hall shrugged. "OK, of course. Uh..."

"Hall, goodbye!"

Elizabeth McCullough strode away.

Hall stood there, looking helplessly at her tall and beautiful back. After a long time, he murmured: "OK, failed again! Actually, I just want a signed photo of Neo."

"Dad, shall we watch The Matrix tonight?"

"Oh, my God! Elizabeth, I am so sure that it is a super good movie! I already have a very deep understanding of the wonderfulness of that movie, and I have even memorized many of its lines. Now it even helps you retell the script! So... can you spare Dad? I really don't want to see that movie anymore! Baby, we've seen five of them in the past five days! "

"Oh, Dad, it hurts me to say that! Do you know why? Yeah, yes, because I asked you to watch the first few times! So I thought, as a gentleman, should you pay me back? !"

"Oh my God, Helena, mind your daughter please? Please!"

Helena came out of the kitchen carrying a vegetable salad with a helpless smile on her face. Putting down the vegetable salad, she pulled up a chair and sat down. She smiled and said to Elizabeth: "Hey, Elizabeth, those movies Its box office is already high enough, and you really don’t need to work so hard to support it! Right? The first week of its release was the weekly champion of the UK box office chart. For a Chinese film, it is really outstanding! "

Elizabeth was a little dissatisfied, "Hey, that's because it's a good sci-fi movie first, and its success is..."

Helena quickly waved her hand, "OK, OK! Both your father and I understand that it is really an excellent movie, it is very, very good! China Qian's world setting, story arrangement and screen mirroring scheduling are all perfect. Incomparable excellence! Oh, yes, Mr. James McCullough, the world-renowned film master, praised it!"

As she spoke, she looked at James McCullough.

Facing his wife and daughter, James said "huh!" and nodded vigorously to show his approval.

Helena spread her hands and looked at her daughter, "So, Elizabeth, let your father go, okay?"

Elizabeth sighed helplessly, looking listless, "But it is said that tickets for this movie are hard to find in countless places in China. Everyone queues up to buy tickets. At nine o'clock in the morning, all the movie tickets for a day are sold out." Sold out, but in the UK, a lot of shows were half-attended. Oh, and North America, where it only had $50 million in its first week! I don't think it's grossed enough to be as good as it should be That box-office level you got."

James McCullough said immediately after hearing the words: "That has nothing to do with us. It is caused by Qian's own stubbornness. The male and female protagonists of this movie are all oriental faces. Believe me, Dad, it is already a huge achievement for it to get the current box office. Very, very rare! Next, even if Dad accompany you to watch five episodes of "The Matrix" every day, we will not be able to increase its box office by much."

"Its male and female protagonists with oriental faces are destined to have a ceiling. And it is impossible for us to influence those audiences in Europe and the United States, right? So, there is nothing we can do!"

Elizabeth sighed, "Okay!"

Hearing this sentence, both James McCullough and Helena McCullough breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, I feel better again.

Today I finally don't have to watch that movie again - no matter how good it is, as a commercial movie, for a movie master like James, watching it five times in five days has become a kind of torture.

But suddenly, Elizabeth said: "Dad, Mom, I got my first job and my first income during the filming of that movie. Do you think this is worth celebrating?"

"Oh my God!"

"Elizabeth, don't!"

…………

At night, Shuntian Mansion.

A small sports car of the Great Wall brand, which is relatively common on the streets of Shuntianfu, was quietly parked at the side of the street outside the back door of the No. 1 Peking Opera Theater in Shuntianfu.

The car stopped for about five or six minutes, and the back door suddenly opened. Cheng Suying, wearing sunglasses, looked around furtively and found no one, so he strode out.

Seeing the small sports car parked by the side of the road from a distance, she took a few steps, opened the door and got in.

Li Qian looked at her with a smile.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took off her sunglasses, turned her head and looked at Li Qian, then suddenly smiled and said, "I feel like a thief!"

Li Qian started the car and said helplessly, "I can't help it, those reporters have gone crazy recently."

Cheng Suping laughed.

When the car drove out of this alley, Li Qian asked, "How is this tour going?"

Cheng Suping leaned on the seat, and said lazily, "That's it, the audience is very enthusiastic." She smiled, a little proud, and a little coquettish, "Senior Brother Mingyun said, now the entire Peking Opera circle has to hold Me! Because among all Peking opera actors, my audience and fan base are the youngest! He also said that I opened up a hole for Peking opera, allowing more and more young people to come in and start to like it Peking Opera!"

Li Qian laughed, "It's obviously because of me!"

Cheng Suping let out a chuckle, thought for a while, turned to look at him, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face, "Okay, okay, it's all because of you! Thank you for your great support, so I let the servant Now that I have become the number one actor in Peking Opera, there are crowds of people wherever I go, and the stage is almost flooded with flower baskets!"

Li Qian turned his head to look at her, and his heart suddenly caught fire.

She was really the strangest of all the women Li Qian knew.

The so-called "be dignified at the front and flirt at the rear" may be a bit exaggerated. She definitely has nothing to do with the flirt, but as long as the two of them are alone together, her ubiquitous and natural teasing is really amazing. Li Qian, who really has no shortage of women, will be on fire in an instant.

Especially when thinking of her usual calm and composed Tsing Yi style, that strong contrast, that feeling of blooming only for you, Li Qian felt that to be a real man, you have to be excited!

But now is clearly not the time.

So he forced himself to suppress the eager thoughts in his heart, and said: "Next, I will be tired again. I have traveled all over the country, and I have to travel to many places abroad. It will take at least a month or so. You and Have you asked for leave from the courtyard? Did the old man say hello?"

Cheng Suping nodded, "Well, it's all agreed. Just run away. Actors, after taking so much money, it's not just for filming. The movie is about to be released, and actors should go to publicize, that's what they should do." divided."

Li Qian gave a "hmm" and didn't say anything else.

The car quickly drove to the underground parking lot of a hotel, and the two got out of the car. Cheng Suping looked back at his very ordinary sports car, and suddenly asked, "Why don't I usually see you drive this car before?" ?”

Li Qian smiled and said, "You don't want to be exposed, and you don't want to marry, so you can only keep a low profile!"

Cheng Suping laughed when she heard the words, "Marry you? I can't afford to marry you! Now it's not like it was a few years ago. If you want to take a concubine, you will be fined billions of dollars! You might as well just transfer the money to me!" "

Li Qian shook his head and smiled wryly when he heard the words, "No way! That's it, we still have to race for time! By next year, even the concubine system will probably be abolished. By then... Sigh!"

Cheng Suping glanced at him, "Yo, what's the matter? Are you worried? There are too many people, you can't afford to marry, and you have to be exhausted?"

Li Qian smiled wryly, "Where is it! I'm very honest!"

Cheng Suping smiled, took his arm comfortably, and said, "Go tell Xiaolu about this, that's the main house of your house! I'm just a stealer!"

…………

Xiao Chengzhi has grown up a lot now? Xiao Shesheng is more than three years old, isn't he skinnier? I haven't seen our little princess for a long time. I'll go to Runqing to see her later.

This tour lasted for more than two months, and when we met again, Cheng Suping talked a little more than usual, but even if she just asked about Li Qian's children, the smiles on her face grew more and more.

Of course, her habit, or in other words, is the habit of almost all Chinese people at present. As long as you ask about Li Qian's child, you will inevitably start with Li Chengzhi, who was born in April this year.

Although he was the youngest of Li Qian's three children, almost everyone believed that he was Zheng Shuo of Li Qian's family - he was the son of the eldest wife's wife, and he was the legitimate son.

But just when the two of them hadn't seen each other for many days and were chatting about some homely things, the voices of the men and women sitting next door started to come over at some point.

Because they seemed to be arguing about something, their voices became louder without knowing it.

Some book friends commented that I am a "heavyweight". I think this is a good statement, so I will introduce myself in the future.
