Chapter 958 954 Picking Peaches

Chapter 958 954. Picking Peaches

It took a total of 23 days.

On April 6, "Silent Violence" was completed.

This is almost the fastest movie Xu Xin has ever shot.

And under the speed, there is an equally complete story structure.

In this film, he did not focus too much on the so-called "just result", but on the process of pursuit.

His perspective is on the transformation of a mother's mentality in the process of pursuit, and the inner story of each character based on the doomed tragedy.

At first glance, it sounds a bit unrealistic and even idealistic.

But in fact, he has experience in this kind of thing.

After his mother passed away, he gradually felt the pain as he grew older.

Unlike adults, adults can let the pain heal with the passage of time.

But for children, this pain has never been relieved because they have never tasted it.

And he reversed this process and created a story of pursuit from the perspective of a mother.

To be honest,

During the whole shooting, he read through his own shooting clips and felt quite depressed. Because there was no "beauty" in this film from the beginning.

Now that all the shooting is completed, he feels relieved.

It's like a big stone that has been piled up for many years has finally fallen to the ground.

There are no more utilitarian thoughts like "Ah, I want to win so many awards and box office with this movie".

Just a long sigh of relief.

It's over.

...

Yang Mi didn't attend the wrap-up party.

After the crew confirmed that the filming was finished and her husband didn't need her, she rushed to Ordos.

The children are almost blowing up the house these days, so she has to go back quickly. Moreover, she can't stay for a few days, and she has to go to the United States quickly.

The promotion period of "Pacific Rim" is about to begin.

So Xu Xin was left alone.

I have eaten a lot of wrap-up parties in these years, but the excitement is getting less and less, and the fatigue is increasing.

In Shenmu in April, the spring breeze is blowing strongly.

But for Xu Xin, it was already a common thing.

After a wrap-up dinner, the crew dispersed.

After he took a car back to Xujiawan in a daze, he asked Su Meng:

"Nothing happened these days, right?"

Su Meng took out her notebook and looked at it, then nodded:

"Yeah, but Brother Xu also promised Volvo to go shoot a commercial. He hasn't given a specific time reply yet."

"Don't rush, let's talk about it after May. Your sister will be away from home for a few months, and your brother's main task is to take care of the baby."

"Okay."

Su Meng quickly wrote this item down again.

Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Have a good rest, take a day off today, and book a ticket to go back tomorrow."

"Okay!"

...

Early in the morning of April 7, Xu Xin took Su Meng back to Yanjing by civil aviation.

The 7th happened to be Sunday.

When he got home, he saw the two children following their mother like a tail, as if they were afraid that their mother would disappear again in the next second.

In fact, children are like this.

Since childhood, the growth environment of Dabao and Erbao is that their mother, grandmother, grandfather... Dad is not even on the list.

Believe in raising children personally and creating a sense of security for children from an early age. Although Yang Mi has shaped the two children in terms of temperament, personality, habits, etc.... At least Xu Xin thinks it is very successful.

But this kind of education is not without shortcomings.

That is, the children are particularly attached to these three people.

So sometimes things are often like this.

Career and family, everyone has to constantly weigh, but they can never achieve true perfection.

Fortunately, after filming this film, seeing that his wife was about to get busy, Xu Xin also made his own choice.

Try to postpone everything.

If his wife is busy, then he will stay at home with the children.

So, the first thing he did was to reject Qi Lei's proposal.

He suggested that he quickly make "Silent Violence" as the opening film of the third Silk Road Film Festival this year...

Xu Xin thought to himself, brother, you are just kidding.

The film has just been finished. Four months is enough for him to finish all the post-production work?

No need to go home?

Just push it off.

Strictly speaking, he has been busy for a year and a half.

He is also exhausted.

He wants to take a break.

Moreover, he will not be a judge at this year's Silk Road Film Festival.

He has been there for two consecutive sessions. No matter how conspicuous he is, he will not occupy a position and not leave.

Today's Silk Road Film Festival has relatively matured from immaturity in all aspects. There should be more diverse characters.

Therefore, he does not need to manage or judge this session.

He can just be a spectator.

The second thing is to let the school give him a schedule.

It's better to teach college students than to be idle at home every day.

Go to class during the day, and the children go to kindergarten.

Come back at night.

He also experiences the nine-to-five life.

After returning to Yanjing, he rested for less than a week.

Taking advantage of the critical moment of April 12, and while Yang Mi was still there, I asked Nuannuan and Yangyang for half a day off on Friday, and the family arrived in Xi'an on Friday afternoon.

Come to attend a two-day study meeting.

The name of this meeting is "Taxes in accordance with the law·The first legal knowledge promotion meeting of Xiying Group".

All people in the Yichuang Home, Xiying Actors Group and other factories are required to study compulsorily.

Without exception.

And this meeting was given by people invited from Yanjing.

The place was chosen in Qujiang Conference Center.

The level is quite high.

At the same time, Xiying Group's official website, official microblog, Shaanxi Culture and Tourism, and publications vigorously promote it.

Zhang Yimou, Xu Xin, Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, Yang Mi, Liang Bingning... and so on. No matter what work you have in your hands, what notices, etc., all stop and come back to participate.

On the 13th and 14th, Xi'an can be said to be full of stars.

The publicity of this matter on the Internet, because of the addition of these star lineups, has made passers-by know about it.

Even the official microblog of Xiying Group has been liked and forwarded by "People's Daily".

The evaluation was given that "everyone has the responsibility to pay taxes according to the law, and public figures should play a leading and exemplary role".

This time, not only the artists came, but also the heads of the artists' studios were required to arrive at the scene.

The artists held a meeting in the morning, and reporters could take photos and publicize it. The afternoon meeting was held by the heads of all companies. It was a closed-door meeting, not publicized to the outside world, but the content was more "real" than the conference.

There is no need to explore what the words say.

Outsiders just heard one thing.

That is, the people of Xiying Group drew a red line for all the heads of the companies who visited.

If you want to get involved in this circle, then you should manage the private morality of your own artists. Otherwise, if any artist goes bankrupt, the company will be blacklisted.

If this red line was a few years ago, Xiying people dared to say this, I am afraid that they would laugh at others.

What level are you? Dare to talk to us like this?

But now...

No one dares to doubt whether Xiying has this ability.

In the current circle, the Beijing circle suddenly showed a somewhat decadent look last year, while the Northwest circle's business began to blossom and flourish, and without warning, it directly raised the ceiling of the entire film and television market.

The cooperation between the Northwest circle, Yindu, and Shanghai circles is getting closer and closer, especially this year, it seems like a solid foundation.

Even those "Northwest local rich people" who were ridiculed by the Beijing circle at the beginning have become more confident.

Start to expand.

As the leader, Xiying's words are the words of the Northwest circle.

They say that whoever is on the blacklist... then this person's life will be really hard in the future.

Looking at them who can now set red lines, it really fits the old saying:

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor young."

For a while, everyone noticed one thing.

That is... they are serious about taxation.

...

After the meeting on Sunday morning, Xu Xin, who felt that there was nothing to do, planned to take the children to Fangshang to eat something.

Yang Mi wanted to eat braised jelly.

Although it is not the right season to eat this now.

The weather is not hot yet.

But she suddenly mentioned it, Xu Xin also wanted to have a bite.

Just took the children to Fangshang to join in the fun.

But just after leaving the house, Qi Lei called.

"Is the meeting over?"

"Yes, I plan to go to Fangshang to eat something, do you want to join us?"

"Don't go either... I'll send you an address, come over now. Something's going on."

"Uh..."

Xu Xin, holding the phone, was a little puzzled, and subconsciously glanced at his wife.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Qi is looking for me."

"Oh, then you go and get busy, I'll eat your share for you~"

She was in a good mood and used a repetition word to be cute.

Xu Xin rolled her eyes and said speechlessly to the phone:

"Brother, today is Sunday, our civil servants don't go to work..."

"Minister Wu and General Manager Tian are here too."

"......?"

Xu Xin paused.

The boss of cultural tourism is here too?

This...

"Okay, I'll go now. Send me the address."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Lei had already sent the address.

Seeing the name of the hotel that was not open to the public in the message, Xu Xin was even more puzzled, and turned to Yang Mi and said:

"Minister Wu, General Manager Tian and the others are all here... I have to go."

"Let's go."

Yang Mi nodded, but immediately asked in confusion:

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, probably something that is not convenient to talk about on the phone. Then I'll go?"

"Okay, you drive."

"Okay."

Xu Xin responded and trotted along with Su Meng.

All the way, he was wondering what this person was looking for him for.

Is there another task for him to do?

Or is it about the outstanding youth in May?

Aren't all the things settled?

With a lot of doubts in his mind, when the car arrived at the address of the reception hotel under the agency, he saw Qi Lei waiting at the gate.

After asking Su Meng to stop the car, he got out directly.

"Brother Qi."

"Yes."

"Director Xu."

Beside him, Qi Lei's driver greeted Xu Xin respectfully.

Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"Hey, hello."

Then he and Qi Lei walked straight in.

The driver was naturally here to pick up Su Meng.

The two of them didn't go far. Qi Lei directly pulled him to the trash can next to the hotel door. After handing him a cigarette, he whispered:

"Be careful what you say later, Minister Wu and Mr. Tian are very angry."

"...what?"

In his doubtful eyes, Qi Lei lit up a cigarette and said:

"Someone's here to pick peaches."

Xu Xin's first reaction... Xiying Studio is going to parachute a director?

Isn't it?

If this is true, the person who is most angry is Brother Qi.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Qi Lei say:

"There is an order from above. Tomorrow we will receive a delegation from Fuzhou. The two sides will start discussing the second venue of the Silk Road Film Festival."

"……ah???"

Xu Xin was really shocked now.

"What is it? Fuzhou...the second venue?"

"Um."

Qi Lei nodded again, and then...

He sighed helplessly:

"Sigh...I can't wait to give myself a slap now...I guess Mr. Tian does too. Why did you come up with such a name in the first place? It was originally thought that we would be the starting point of the Silk Road, and it would be used as the name of the film festival. It is justifiable. It couldn't be more appropriate. As a result... we only thought about the land Silk Road, but we didn't consider that there is also a maritime Silk Road. Now, the two provinces that were inseparable from each other have now become brother provinces... …Who do you want to reason with?”

"???"

Xu Xin was confused for a while, and suddenly a person flashed in his mind...

"Zheng He's voyages to the West?"

"That's right."

Qi Lei responded, then hooked his finger at Xu Xin to signal him to come over.

After Xu Xin came over...

“One Belt and One Road…cultural integration…merger…propaganda…”

He muttered for a while, and then Xu Xin looked astonished, nodded and smiled bitterly:

"Then I can't even refuse this."

"That's right! Or why is Mr. Tian so angry? Who cares about us when we are in trouble? We started the Silk Road Film Festival bit by bit, explored bit by bit, and implemented our original intention bit by bit... The result is now It’s ready, the meal has just been cooked, and some helpless people are coming to take it away... The most important thing is... what’s there in Fujian?”

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

He knew Qi Lei was also angry.

But this is definitely not absolute.

but……

"Is there some reason for the bend?"

He said this out of nowhere.

Qi Lei was stunned:

"ah?"

Looking at Xu Xin, he asked in confusion:

"How do you say this?... You have to know that Fuzhou's entertainment industry has little soil. Even if there are twists and turns, those film and television practitioners are concentrated in places like Yanjing and Magic City... What does it have to do with Fuzhou? ?”

"...I don't know either, but I think it would be more reasonable if we take this relationship into account?"

"You don't think they're here to pick peaches?"

"Eh~~~"

Xu Xin quickly shook his head:

"Brother Qi, we are all brothers. It's too harsh to say this. We all grew up drinking water from the Yellow River."

"..."

Qi Lei's mouth twitched.

My heart said that you are playing with my ideological consciousness at this time, right?

OK OK.

Then I heard Xu Xin say:

"Anyway... I listen to your wishes on this matter, can't you refuse?"

"Um."

Qi Lei sighed helplessly:

"Didn't I tell you the reason just now? Although I'm not happy now... but when they arrive tomorrow, just like you said, we all have to act like brothers from home. This matter is from Yanjing. No matter how much we complain, we can only accept the orders from the outside world and internal governance.

It is estimated that it will be held in Fuzhou next year. Then I came back here the year after that, and then I went back to their place the year after that... I'm afraid now that the cultural atmosphere that Xi'an has cultivated so easily will lead to the film festival returning to the same old formalism... Our hard work is really ruined... Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. "

The helplessness in his eyes was once again filled with unwillingness:

"The film festival... is going to become an international film festival."
