Chapter 564 562. Talisman
"Goodbye, Xu, next time you come to Italy, you must bring your wife to my house as a guest, bye~"
At the end of the dinner, Jasmine Trika, who had been chatting about movies for a whole session, issued her own invitation.
Xu Xin readily agreed, smiling and waving goodbye to her.
Then I looked at my phone...
No news yet.
The **** who wants to share the most should be sleeping soundly... Ha.
I don't know what kind of excitement she will feel when she wakes up in the morning and finds out that she has won the Best Director Award.
Then I heard Lin Xunxin’s words:
"Shall we go too? I can't wait."
"Walk."
Sister Fairy invites you to drink, don’t you be afraid that you will shorten your life?
While speaking, he looked at the old man:
"Are you going?"
"Just go and play. When shall we leave tomorrow?"
"It's noon, I'll be home early in the morning the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
So, the two parties parted ways.
Except for the old man, everyone else boarded the "thief ship".
After all, the film's performance is so good, everyone should join in the carnival on the last day.
Even Zhong Changyou was busy returning to the hotel for a while, and rushed over after sending back the trophies, photos, etc. to be used for publicity in the factory.
Sister Immortal's treat was arranged in a nightclub recommended by Ai Qing that was incompatible with the traditional architecture of Venice.
The manic music made everyone's blood warm up.
I don’t know how much it cost, anyway, the wine was drained, and I poured it into my stomach one after another.
The first to bear the brunt are these two winners.
Coupled with the fact that Lin Gou coaxed Yangzi to marry him, Xu Xin hooked Su Meng directly when he saw this posture.
The music in the nightclub was too loud, so he yelled into Su Meng's ear:
"I'm going to drink too much later, no matter what happens, I have to make sure that I sleep alone, understand?"
Su Meng nodded immediately:
"Understood, Brother Xu."
"Well...you are allowed to drink two glasses, don't drink too much. When we return to China to see your sister, let's have a good reunion, and then we will not be drunk or return!"
"Uh-huh!"
Su Meng responded with a smile.
She knew that Brother Xu said this to make herself resolutely perform her duties as an assistant.
OK.
And as soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by the wine glass brought by the fairy sister.
Glanced at the bottle...
Hey guy, I just finished drinking the absinthe-based special, and now I want to serve whiskey?
"Take it easy? Are you going to die if you drink like this?"
Hearing his words, Sister Shenxian smiled triumphantly:
"Are you scared?"
"Ouch, come here."
The two cups collided.
"Dry?"
Looking at her provocative eyes, Xu Xin nodded:
"Dry!"
gurgling gurgling...
Two glasses of wine were poured directly into his stomach.
Following the spicy smell of peat and smoke, Xu Xin lit a cigarette, leaned on the sofa and raised his head.
"Hoo..."
A puff of smoke was blown out, and suddenly, sister Shenxian came to his ear:
"Xu Xin."
"ah?"
"Let me tell you something."
"What?"
He sat up straight and tilted his head towards her.
No way, the music is too loud, and I can't hear anything unless I talk close to my ear.
"Do you know when I was most uncomfortable?"
While talking, she poured wine into her and Xu Xin's glasses.
Filling each person's glass half full, she continued to Xu Xin:
“The most uncomfortable time for me was when I went to audition for "The Wind"."
"Well…"
He glanced at the sisters.
Unfortunately, the lighting was too bright, and because of the angle, a large area of shadow appeared on her face, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
It's just that those eyes are still clear.
Seeing Xu Xin's puzzled look, Liu Yifei just shook his head.
Holding the wine glass, he directly touched Xu Xin's glass, then moved to his ear and said:
"You can't even imagine how down and out I was at that time."
"..."
"Dry."
Sister Shenxian drank all the wine herself.
Then showed the bottom of the cup to Xu Xin.
means: I drink up.
Xu Xin thought for a while, picked up the glass as well, drank the wine, and brought it to her ear:
"Don't talk about the past! Look forward, be happy tonight, don't think about those things."
"…Um."
Liu Yifei nodded.
really.
Although she has many emotions at this moment, she wants to talk to him and express to him.
But…he was right.
Have fun tonight.
Don't let anything unpleasant, bother... anyone.
While thinking, she looked at the squirming Adam's apple of the man who was drinking with his head up... Finally, she let out a sigh through the spurt of alcohol.
…
The entire crew of "The Hawthorn Tree" was wiped out.
None ran.
Everyone drank too much.
The only ones who are sober are Wu Qiqi and Su Meng.
and the drivers of the three cars that are still under contract.
It can almost be said that it took a lot of effort to get everyone settled. This is the last feast of the filmmakers, and it has come to an end.
While the film crew on the Venice side was tortured by alcohol in their sleep, and in China, which was 7 hours faster than here, after learning about the achievements of "The Hawthorn Tree", Xiying Film Studio began to promote it.
So, many people came across information related to "The Hawthorn Tree" this morning.
There is also the news that "it will be released on December 22".
For a time, the scenery was the same.
And all the artists of Shuangwei also sent Weibo to celebrate immediately, even Lao Lang and Wang Sicong did the same.
Jay Chou doesn’t have Weibo, so it doesn’t count for now.
And after these people finish posting, there are some people who usually have a good relationship with the couple.
Then, a rather strange scene appeared.
Take the crew of "The Wind" as an example, let's talk about a few leading actors if nothing else is mentioned.
Liang Bingning immediately posted a congratulatory Weibo, and interacted with Yang Mi in various ways on Weibo, such as "Please eat, eat well, eat a big meal, don't get drunk and don't go home", all kinds of "sweet and loving" ".
Another example is Yu Yu.
With the unique playfulness of a cross talk actor, he first liked and forwarded Yang Mi's Weibo, and then replied:
"Boss Yang, can you make an appointment? What is my meal?"
Yang Mi replied to him:
"Brother Qian'er, let's stop making trouble, can't we go together?"
"That won't work. For such a good thing, he can do it without putting on three or five games? At least three days drunk is enough."
After 28 days of closing down for rectification, Deyun Club reopened with a change of heart.
The hostility was gone, and Yu Qian's mentality seemed to be more relaxed.
Let's just put it this way, everyone in the production team is congratulating Xu Xin, but the news about Huayi, whether it's Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Hanyu, Su Youpeng, etc., seems like nothing.
There is no news on the surface.
But in private, both Xu Xin who was still sleeping and Yang Mi received text messages of their blessings.
And this situation is not an exception.
On the morning of September 15th, the network of contacts run by the couple seemed to have suddenly become somewhat fragmented.
has become somewhat distinct.
As long as anyone who has anything to do with the Beijing circle, there is not a single Weibo blessing.
But on the text message, it is not clear what happened to Xu Xin, but Yang Mi's side is in decline.
Basically, everyone in the mobile phone sent messages of congratulations.
And Yang Mi's replies are all treated equally, both wording and sentence making are very appropriate.
After a busy morning, she gave Sun Ting her phone number after the news in the morning was basically calm.
"Tingting, look at these people who sent messages. They are mainly actors. Those who post Weibo and also send messages are divided into groups. Those who only send messages but cannot Weibo are divided into another group. Then put this list in the company Save it here, if there is a chance to cooperate in the future, give priority to those who send Weibo messages. By the way, let the people in the company make a background call to understand the current situation."
"OK."
Sun Ting directly agreed, and then added:
"After sorting out, do you want to send the list to the factory?"
Obviously, she already understood what Yang Mi meant.
Actually, this statement sounds a bit "childish" at first glance, like "I'll take you to play only after you show me your friendship".
But it's not.
If it were really that simple, it wouldn't take so much trouble.
Sister did this for one reason.
These people who do not post on Weibo show that they are all deeply involved in the Beijing circle. On the bright side, the award for "The Hawthorn Tree" is a grand event in the northwest circle, and it has nothing to do with the Beijing circle, and everyone may have a conflict of interest.
So, these people are not easy to express their views.
But they are not the kind of young people who don't know how to behave. They understand what "official affairs" and "personal friendships" are.
But for my sister, these people who are not easy to express their views cannot provide direct benefits to the company for the time being.
Priority should be delayed on the road of company development.
And those who post Weibo, at least at this stage can become partners.
At least everyone has the same interests.
To put it bluntly, it is a sorting process.
In the future, if there is a need, it is very clear who can be used now and who will not be used temporarily.
This is Miss Mi's habit, like the gift list that changes every year. It is by relying on such details and meticulous thinking that she can consolidate the country after she stands out.
Yang Mi thought for a while after hearing her words... she shook her head slightly:
"Give it to Brother Xu directly, let him figure out whether to give it to the factory."
"OK."
"Then you call Brother Cheng and ask him if he has received his sister-in-law."
Zhang Qian is also getting older, and now she is nearly six months pregnant, and she is going to come to Yanjing to raise her baby for a period of time.
Xu Xin is not here, so she has to take care of the family matters.
And when he came back, he had to go to Shanghai non-stop. After the audition was done, the two of them had to go to Canada when they came back.
After the wedding photos are finished, it will snow in the Northeast, and she has to go to the Northeast to shoot "The Great Master".
Very busy with many things to do.
But she still manages well.
While Sun Ting went to call to ask if Cheng Hu had time to pick up the person, Yang Mi sat on the sofa and thought for a while, after making sure that she had nothing to miss, after Sun Ting finished the call, she suddenly asked:
"Where did you put the courier I bought two days ago?"
"I'll get it."
Sun Ting went back downstairs again, brought over a tightly packed box, handed it to Yang Mi, and started to group things with her mobile phone.
Then I heard a movement of unpacking the express delivery plastic bags.
Looking up...
Yang Mi is holding a pair of stockings in her hand... It doesn't look like a serious person's stockings and is observing.
Anyone who sees this thing, I'm afraid they can figure out that buying this kind of stockings is definitely not a "good thing", but Sun Ting has a calm face.
No way, I have been used to it for so many years.
Not to mention anything else, how many years has the recipient's name "Sun Ting" been used.
From the red face at the beginning, to the current Gujing without waves.
She is immune.
Even saw Sister Mi put down her stockings and took out a bunny girl headband from the box to put on her head. She also reminded:
"Sister, the rabbit ears have to be slightly curved to look good."
"Is that so?"
Yang Mi casually picked up the wire-wrapped rabbit ears, and one ear became a little bent.
Sun Ting nodded:
"Yes, it looks so good."
Hearing this, Yang Mi's expression became a little weird:
"Tingting."
"ah?"
"Xiaobo's taste...is quite unique."
"..."
The corner of Sun Ting's mouth twitched...
Xiaobo is her boyfriend's name.
And looking at her sister's strange expression, which is rare, Sun Ting also said:
"But I don't buy as many stockings as your sister."
"Then you can't do it. Let me tell you, there is no man who doesn't like stockings... It's a virtue, understand? If you buy less, it must be that you haven't got what he likes. You can try it, but stockings are not good. Then go to JK! Over-the-knee socks! Absolutely in the field! Try them one by one, anyway, there must be one he likes... If it doesn’t work, you let him wear it, and you two try it again, it’s very exciting..."
"..."
Now, Sun Ting's face was really red.
No... why did you and brother Xu get more and more fancy?
…
"Brother Sanshui, sister-in-law~~~"
Seeing Xu Miao and Zhang Qian entering the door, Yang Mi called out sweetly.
"Ai~"
Since she was pregnant, Zhang Qian, who has gained at least 20 catties, has a round face. After Yang Mi came over, her mentality collapsed.
Holding his sister-in-law:
"Mimi, my mentality has collapsed! I'm about to die of fat!"
"Oh sister-in-law~ It's normal to be fat during pregnancy~"
"I'm already one hundred and fourteen..."
"It was almost the same when I was pregnant with Nuannuan and Yangyang..."
The **** start grinning.
Even if she has reached the end of her life, when she was the fattest, she was only in her early one hundred and thirties.
Purely to comfort Zhang Qian.
But Xu Miao didn't continue talking at all.
Obviously, the daughter-in-law is often violent at home.
He went to say hello to Yang Dalin and his wife with a smile, and then began to help Cheng Hu move the nutritional products for the second elder into the house one by one.
It doesn't look like a real estate boss at all.
Then the family began to eat.
Yang Mi was feeding the two children misty food, while explaining parenting knowledge to Zhang Qian there.
From taking her to see the teacher of pregnancy yoga in the afternoon, to her reactions at various stages of pregnancy and so on.
Xu Miao hurried to cook.
Hulu Hulu finished eating two bowls of braised noodles, and took the bowl and spoon from Yang Mi with a smile, and began to feed his two eldest nephews.
"When will San Jin come back?"
"Well…"
Yang Mi looked at the time and said:
"I probably haven't woken up yet. Kiki sent me a message last night and drank a lot. I guess I'll sleep until three or four o'clock in the afternoon with us, and then I'll leave. I'll be home tomorrow morning~"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qian nodded, turned her head and asked Xu Miao casually:
"Where's our dad, are you coming this time?"
"Come."
Xu Miao responded:
"But he can't make it through these two days, and he said he will come back the day after tomorrow."
Today is the 15th, and the day after tomorrow will be the 17th.
"Huh? Where did you go?"
"I went to Nanzang to buy an amulet for my child. The one I bought for Nuannuan and Yangyang, he thinks it is very spiritual. The child looks so healthy, so I said I will buy another one this year."
"oh oh."
Zhang Qianqian nodded.
Yang Mi was a little envious:
"I haven't been to Southern Tibet yet... It is said that July and August are the most beautiful seasons there. I have always wanted to go, but I have never had time to go..."
"Ha~"
Xu Miao chuckled lightly:
"Then you can learn from my father this time. He traveled there by car."
"ah?"
Yang Mi immediately showed envy in her eyes:
"That's great... I've always wanted to come this way too. I drove a Lu Xun, and then signed up for the 318 line convoy. Everyone took a walkie-talkie to travel around the mountains and rivers. When encountering mountains, turn to mountains, and encounter lakes to turn to lakes. Then I read Tsangyang Gyatso's poetry anthology at the seaside of mountains, rivers, lakes...it must be a great feeling."
Hearing this, Xu Miao laughed and made a joke:
"Then my dad can be considered as tired driving. He gets sleepy when he reads~"
"Hey Hey…"
Originally, it was just a short chat among the parents of my family. Going to South Tibet is indeed one of Yang Mi's dreams.
But every year is busy, if you really want to go there, you really have to plan a year in advance. What's more, there are babies here, so we need to pay more attention to all aspects.
While chatting, Yang Mi's cell phone vibrated.
Xu Xin woke up.
Yang Mi called without saying a word.
"Hey, best director, are you awake?"
Amidst his wife's jokes, his voice was hoarse with hangover effects, and he lazily responded:
"Hmm... Are Sanshui and sister-in-law here?"
"We're almost done eating."
"That's fine, I'm packing up and getting ready to go, I want to eat mutton noodles tomorrow morning..."
After half a month, I finally saw my wife.
He also thought very hard.
Hungry and thirsty.
…
At 9 am Yanjing time, Xu Xin, who had not rested for nearly 17 hours, stood in front of the business car driven by Cheng Hu with a tired face, and asked Zhang Yimou:
"Anything else?"
"Let's go."
Zhang Yimou waved his hand:
"Just go home."
"Hey, okay. How about you two?"
Liu Yifei and Lin Juxin also shook their heads.
Everyone can see that he is eager to return to his heart, and he is so familiar with him, so the polite words are avoided.
"You go first, we will go too."
"OK."
Waved his hand, he got into Cheng Hu's car directly.
After Su Meng came up, he quickly patted the car seat:
"Brother Hu, GOGOGO! Let's go to Redwood!"
"...?"
Cheng Huxin said, why have you been out for half a month and learned English?
Shouldn't you speak Italian?
But seeing that Xu Xin was eager to return home, he still drove out of the parking lot first without waiting for Director Zhang's car to leave first.
"Mengmeng, when will Ai Qing come back?"
"October."
"Well, let her contact you when she comes back, and then ask me what I should do if I want to study by myself now, and ask her to get some materials."
"OK."
After putting learning a foreign language on the agenda, Xu Xin yawned lazily.
Looking at the familiar scenery outside, his eyes are full of kindness.
"By the way, Mengmeng, have you got your passport yet?"
"It's already down, but I have to go back to my hometown to get it."
"Then I will give you two days off, so hurry up and do it quickly. You can leave when you get home in a while."
"OK."
After hearing this, Su Meng quickly took out her diary from her bag.
These are some of Xu Xin's itineraries.
She did a quick check and said:
"Brother Xu, Teacher Yu called and asked you to go to school after you come back. Tomorrow is Monday, and it is also the opening ceremony after military training. You have to show up."
"good."
As the big disciple of "Yumen", he really had to show up at the opening ceremony.
But it’s not the opening ceremony for new students.
The opening ceremony for freshmen is quite difficult, and they are held in the playground. But the opening ceremony for graduate students was in the theater building, and he had just won the best director in Venice, so this was a good time to show off to Teacher Yu.
Must go.
Acknowledged and asked:
"what else?"
"The evening of the 17th is the dinner party for "The Legend of Zhen Huan". The crew will be starting tomorrow at Jietai Temple in the suburbs of Beijing. You and Miss Mi are going to have a meal together."
"Has the audition time for "33 Days" been arranged?"
"It's arranged. From the afternoon of the 18th to the afternoon of the 19th, this is the first round. If necessary, the second round will be the whole day on the 20th. Then it's gone, and we can set off for Canada."
"OK."
After he had an idea of his itinerary, Xu Xin leaned back on the seat:
"I squint for a while, and call me when I get home."
