Chapter 202: Mother and daughter quarrel
On March 30, the Organizing Committee of the 56th Cannes International Film Festival announced the shortlist on its official website, Lou Ye's "Purple Butterfly" was shortlisted for the main competition unit as the only Chinese-language film, and "Second Brother", which Wang Xiaoshuai had prepared for more than two years, was shortlisted for the attention unit.
"The old building is a big investment of tens of millions, with big stars, and the participation of French film companies, I only have a small investment of a few million, what do you want, how can I compare with others? Don't worry, I'm fine. Oh yes, I almost forgot to congratulate you, you have been shortlisted for Cannes for two years in a row. ”
Although Lou Ye was his classmate and friend, He Xin could hear that Wang Xiaoshuai's words obviously had a strong smell of lemon.
It is said that after the shortlist was announced, his mobile phone almost never stopped, and there was an endless stream of calls and text messages, and before he knew it, he found that his circle of friends was constantly expanding.
Of course, he also called Lou Ye for the first time to express his gratitude, although Director Lou was silent, but at the moment, he could obviously hear that he was very high-spirited on the phone, and although there were some twists and turns, the film still passed the censorship, and it is currently tentatively scheduled to be released in China at the end of May.
This is the first time that Lou Ye's work can be released in China.
It's just that during this time, it is said that the infectious diseases in the south are very bad, and those Hong Kong people working in the crew are also panicked, and they are all worried about their Hong Kong families, and everyone consciously wears masks.
Fortunately, at this time, the filming was nearing the end, and after He Xin finished filming the scene with Lin Jiaxin the night before, there was only the last scene of Dengying Lixue left in the whole film.
The so-called Dengying pear snow is the pear orchard that originally had thousands of acres at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom every spring, like snow, and it is one of the ten famous scenery of Qingdao. But later, with the development of the times, most of the pear trees were cut down, and only a few remained, but it was enough for making movies.
It's just that this year's pear blossoms seem to bloom a little late, and they haven't bloomed for a long time, so the crew can only wait, Li Miaoxue didn't worry about finding someone to guard Dengying Village at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, just waiting for the pear blossoms to bloom.
On this day, He Xin and Li Miaoxue, Huang Yuetai and others went to Dengying Village to survey and came back, and when they passed by the Shakouzi Fishing Wharf, they also specially bought some fresh aquatic products that had just been landed and went home.
Now he also covers himself tightly with hats, sunglasses and masks, on the one hand, the audience is too enthusiastic, and on the other hand, it is also for health.
As soon as I arrived at the door, before I entered the door, I heard Cheng's mother shouting inside: "You are crazy, you have to go to Wanwan at this time, you don't know how bad the trouble is over there!"
"I'm here for work, there was a clause when I signed the contract, we have to cooperate with the publicity, why can't I make sense with you?" Cheng Hao did not show weakness.
He Xin stood at the door and shook his head, he finally opened his eyes after living in the Cheng family during this time, and the two of them would always have a few words every once in a while.
One is warm to his neighbors, polite, and good at handling things inside and out, while the other is beautiful and generous, and talks decently, and is praised by everyone, but as long as the door of the house is closed, all of them will reveal their true nature, and no one will show weakness.
What's even more ridiculous is that Xu Chunhua, the little daughter-in-law who has nothing to do all day at the door, actually left the door of her house ajar, moved a small stool, and placed a garbage can in front of her, eavesdropping while knocking melon seeds.
Seeing He Xin come back, not only was he embarrassed, but he also pointed to the door with a smile and lip-synced with him: "Quarrel again!"
On the contrary, He Xin was a little embarrassed, although he hadn't passed the door yet...... Ahh
So he coughed twice deliberately, and said loudly to Xu Chunhua: "Sister Chunhua, I bought some fresh shrimp crawlers and flatmouth fish here, can you take some back?"
As soon as his words fell, the room fell silent. The little daughter-in-law couldn't hear the excitement, looked at him resentfully, stood up and glanced at the big black plastic bag he was carrying, and smiled reluctantly: "It's better for you to eat by yourself, I won't clean it up." ”
In fact, He Xin had expected that this little daughter-in-law looked very beautiful, and in essence, she was a lazy product, no wonder her husband often quarreled with her.
"Oh!"
He Xin laughed twice with disdain in his heart, and just as he was about to take out the key to open the door, he heard a "click", the door opened from the inside, Cheng's mother poked her head out, and smiled as usual: "Xiaohe, you're back!"
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the little daughter-in-law who was about to close the door in a hurry, and greeted him with the slightest change in her expression: "Xiao Xu is also here!"
The little daughter-in-law was embarrassed to see Cheng's mother come out, she originally wanted to hide, but she didn't dodge, and when she heard Cheng's mother tell her to open it, fortunately, she had an idea, picked up the trash can that spit out the melon seed shell just now, and said busily: "Auntie, I was about to go out to take out the garbage, and I happened to meet Xiaohe coming back, he was too polite, and asked me if I wanted shrimp crawlers and flatmouth fish, how could I clean up that thing!"
Cheng's mother saw He Xin carrying a big bag, and said in surprise: "Why did you buy so much?"
"Oh, and some pens and crabs. I happened to go to Laoshan today, and when I passed by Shakouzi, I saw that the ship was loading, and I saw that the things were quite fresh, so I bought some casually. ”
He Xin smiled and opened the bag and asked his mother-in-law to check it.
Cheng's mother shook the bag, looked at it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "It's really good." ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and said to the little daughter-in-law, "I'll get it done in a while, and everyone will share a little." ”
The little daughter-in-law loves to eat and can't do it, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words, but she still said pretendly: "Auntie, why don't I come over and help you?"
"No, no, I'll make it quickly, and I'll send it to you when it's done." ”
"Auntie, how can I trouble you to send it over. I'm not welcome, just call me in a moment, and I'll bring the plate myself. ”
"Okay, I'll call you then!"
After He Xin entered the door, Cheng's mother turned around and closed the door, her expression immediately returned to normal, and she glanced at her future son-in-law, and the two pouted almost at the same time.
There are some things that everyone knows by heart.
"Hey, where is my Uncle Cheng?"
He Xin helped carry the things he bought back to the kitchen, but he didn't see Cheng's father, no wonder the two of them quarreled so much just now, it turned out that there was no one to persuade them.
"After lunch, I went out with his broken camera again, and I always had no concept of time. Cheng's mother didn't say anything, and shouted at Cheng Hao, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, "Hey, call your father!"
Cheng Hao, who was still with a straight face, turned around and rolled his eyes at his boyfriend who was smiling. Every time it's like this, after the two quarrels, their respective men naturally become their punching bags.
In fact, after living in the Cheng family for so long during this time, he admired the two elders in the family more and more. Although Cheng's mother said that her temper was almost bad, just taking care of the sick Cheng's father for more than ten years and pulling her daughter to adulthood was enough to make people awe-inspired.
As for Cheng's father, at the beginning, every time He Xin saw Cheng's mother yelling at him, he never returned the favor. Originally, I thought that Cheng's father was out of guilt, but after a long time, I found that my father-in-law's mentality was very good, every time Cheng's mother yelled at him, he would always happily admit his mistakes, and his eyes were very soft when he looked at Cheng's mother.
Seeing this scene, He Xin was very emotional, if he had such an optimistic attitude as Cheng's father in his previous life, maybe he would not have died young.
It may be that his personality in his previous life was too cold, or maybe the various unsatisfactory things in life made him taciturn, but since he changed his life, especially after falling in love with his former goddess, he found that he began to become optimistic and open-minded, and he was full of hope for his future life.
He poured all the seafood in the bag into the pond, and two flatmouth fish were still alive, as well as a bag of pen tubes, a bag of shrimp crawlers, and eight pike crabs. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to clean up, but was stopped by Cheng's mother and said, "Okay, don't touch your hands, let me come." ”
As he spoke, he pouted in the direction of the living room and whispered: "Their company called at noon, saying that she was asked to go to Wanwan to do some publicity, you said that at this time, how dare I let her out! You also go and persuade her, now that the south is making such a lot of trouble, I heard that that kind of problem can spread in the air, if it is given in case, what is the point of making more money?"
Perhaps because of Cheng's father's illness, Cheng's mother is now particularly sensitive and attaches great importance to health issues, as early as when the news of the southern infectious disease first reached Qingdao, she had already had enough masks, disinfectant alcohol, white vinegar, and various daily necessities at home.
In Cheng's mother's words, if others laugh, let others laugh, the body is your own, this is called being prepared! In case something happens, it's too late to cry.
"Go to Wanwan to promote?"
Hearing Cheng's mother's words, He Xin also chuckled in his heart.
Although there are still various rumors in the news that the infectious diseases in the south are under control, the safety and health of tourism in various places are guaranteed. But He Xin knows how far this disease will develop in the end, and if his girlfriend goes to Wanwan to do some bullshit propaganda at this time, he will never dare to agree.
