Chapter 345: An Honorable Date
Early in the morning, Zhou Xiao was lying on the bed, and the person had woken up, but he didn't want to get up.
After a few autumn rains, the weather had turned cooler, and he curled up in the quilt, moved slightly, and changed to a comfortable position.
In the past few days, he has not stayed up late, sleepiness hit him at more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and he woke up at six o'clock in the morning, feeling a little early to enter his old age.
The movie has been over for nearly ten days, and Zhou Xiao has also rested for ten days, with no interviews, no programs, and no activities.
It is to stay at home, accompany parents, play games, and walk the dog.
It's a bit like a primary school student on vacation, you don't have to think about anything, you're carefree, and you're happy.
The follow-up of the movie is not in a hurry, it has been determined that it will not be released during the Spring Festival, there is plenty of time, and the post-editing can be done slowly. This is very important, and depending on the editing, it can be a completely different movie.
Before the start of filming, Zhou Xiao had already met the international first-class editor Du Yuan through Huang Bo, and his representative works include "Crazy Stone", "Red Sorghum", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", "Charlotte's Troubles" and dozens of other works.
She is not a particularly 'show-off' editor, but applies some techniques suitable for the film according to the needs of the film, dealing with different films, with the sole purpose of telling a good story, with the unique delicacy of women, and has won numerous awards.
Mr. Liu still has a job in his hand, which will be completed in December at the earliest, and the "Exercise" has to be queued.
Zhou Xiao turned his head and looked out on the balcony, it was past seven o'clock, and the sky was still gray, either cloudy or raining.
Dodo!
A soft knock sounded at the door.
"What's wrong?"
The door opened, and the cauldron walked in with a chicken coop on top of it.
"Let's see if you're awake, I'm going down to buy breakfast. ”
"Oh, you're going to Guangzhou later, right? Zhou Xiao thought about it.
"Hmm. ”
"Shall I drive you?" he sat up.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Fill the soup buns, let's have another soy milk, don't you wash up first, your hair is messy." ”
"It's too late, I'll go downstairs first, hiss... It's a little cold and I'm going to put on a coat. The cauldron rubbed his arms.
Twenty minutes later, the two sat down at the dining table.
"How many days will you go this time?" Zhou Xiao carefully bit a corner on the xiaolongbao, the heat came out, blew it lightly a few times, and put it in his mouth, the meat juice was overflowing, it was very fragrant, and the soup dumpling shop at the entrance of the community was still good.
"Two days, what's wrong, Mencius is coming over?" said the cauldron with a smile.
"No, how can I come every day, what should I do if I am photographed by a reporter?" Zhou Xiao opened his mouth wide, it was too hot.
I said. The cauldron quickly drained a cage: "You also go out for a walk, stay in the community every day, isn't it boring." ”
"Where are you going?" Zhou Xiao began to ponder.
"Whatever, while you're free now, it's okay to go abroad to have fun, and call Mencius together. ”
"It's not convenient. Zhou Xiao was a little moved.
But... It's just an intention, the Chinese people are rich now, and it can be said that any country can see the compatriots who go to travel, and it is easy to be discovered.
The two of them didn't debut for a long time, and at this time, they broke out in love, which was a big blow to their careers.
"You see, I'm just making a suggestion. The cauldron was noncommittal: "By the way, "The Wandering Earth" has been set for the Spring Festival, do you want to help promote it, I mean people appear." ”
This is also the main reason why "Exercise" avoids the Spring Festival, both of them have investments, and they can't fight themselves.
"It's almost the same under Weibo publicity. Zhou Xiao shook his head: "If other people's movies sell well, I still think I deliberately went to the heat." ”
After breakfast, Zhou Xiao found a set of hoodies, went downstairs with the cauldron, and sent him to the airport.
On the way back, I was muttering in my heart.
yes, it seems that I've been a little too homely lately, but it's good to say that I already have a girlfriend, or my mother will definitely not be able to pass the level.
Although actors or directors will choose to take a break and adjust after completing a work, there are also a small number of people who are particularly busy and will immediately put into work.
Zhou Xiao has no shortage of scripts, and now there are several scripts in the company that can only be nodd, considering that there will be a series of jobs such as editing, dubbing, publicity, etc., I will not consider taking on the drama for the time being.
The focus of work in half a year is still based on "Exercise", after all, it is his directorial debut.
Driving the car and listening to the music, Zhou Xiao remembered the suggestion of the cauldron, it seems good to go out to play, and it can be more meaningful.
I suddenly had an idea.
After arriving home, I dialed Brother Wang's phone first.
"Brother Wang, who is responsible for subsidizing those children?"
"Oh, I've been in charge, what's wrong?"
"I'm wondering if I'm not idle all this time, why don't I go and see them. ”
"Okay. Brother Wang was very happy: "It just so happens that I purchased a batch of down jackets or something a few days ago, and I am going to send them over, I'll take a look." ”
"No, I'll just go by myself, don't make a lot of fanfare, don't find reporters, don't publicize. ”
"Ahh Okay, when are you going to go?"
"The sooner the better. ”
"Okay, I'll communicate right now, you wait for my call. ”
"Good!"
Zhou Xiao kept going, and dialed Director Yang Yang's mobile phone again.
"Hello Director!"
"Zhou Xiao, I just happened to think of you. Director Yang Yang's laughter came.
"The TV series is about to air?"
"That's right, Tencent premiered, set for 1.10, and our publicity is almost about to start. ”
"No problem, I'm here to fully cooperate. ”
"By the way, it doesn't affect your movie. Director Yang Yang also knew the news.
"It shouldn't be a problem. ”
The publicity of TV dramas is not as intensive as movies, there are fewer roadshows, most of them participate in variety shows, interviews, broadcast in January, and some programs can be participated in now, just set the broadcast time with the producer, it is easier to coordinate.
"Director, I have something to tell you here. ”
"You say. ”
"In the next few days, I will work with Mencius to do some public welfare, but I don't want to make too much movement. Zhou Xiao had already thought of an excuse on the way back, and now he was lying more and more.
"It's that I started sponsoring a few children to study last year, and I want to say that it's not winter soon, so I'll take a look at it when I have time now, bring some clothes or something, and if I am photographed, I want you to explain. ”
"I'm okay here. Yang Yang understood what he meant after listening to it.
I just want to do good things silently, and if I am filmed, I will explain it under the name of "Jiang Ye".
"But you're a little embarrassed about the money, or I'll talk to the producer..."
"No, no, money is a small thing. ”
As for why you don't use the "Exercise", the interval is too large, and I am afraid that others will not believe it.
"Okay, but you and Ziyi..."Director Yang Yang stopped halfway through his words.
"We are very good friends!" Zhou Xiao hurriedly answered.
"Hahaha, you've been exposed. The hearty laughter made Zhou Xiao blush a little: "Okay, it's normal for young men and women to be attracted to each other and fall in love, and I didn't say anything, right?" ”
Zhou Xiao, uh-huh, I don't know how to answer.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, I'll help explain anything here, and I'll communicate the itinerary with your agent." Yang Yang did not dwell on this topic.
"Thank you, Director Yang. "Obviously the weather has turned cooler, and sweat is pouring out on my forehead.
Then he informed Meng Ziyi that there must be no problem with his girlfriend, she can go out on a date openly, and she is still doing good deeds, and even Sister Hua on the side is very supportive after hearing it, just let them pay attention and don't behave too intimately.
Half an hour later, Brother Wang called.
The down jacket is on the road, it is estimated that he will go to the village the day after tomorrow, Zhou Xiao just went over and took it, and helped him rent a car in the city.
Lin Shanna still has to follow and take care of it.
Directly booked tomorrow's ticket, Meng Ziyi set off from Yanjing and went to the city to meet.
After a series of phone calls, Zhou Xiao got up, took a bag and simply put two clothes, a coat, and a toiletry bag for business trips, and it was done in five minutes.
I was sitting on the couch thinking about my plan for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, when the door opened.
"Son, let's just eat some dumplings at noon. ”
The old mother walked in with two plates, Zhou Xiao hurriedly got up and took it, she knew the password of the house, and came over from time to time to help with sanitation or something.
"Go get that. ”
Zhou Xiao: ???
"That's it... Hey, it's good that you're a son, what if it's a daughter, you can't do any small things. "Mom went to the kitchen by herself.
Zhou Xiao: ???
Look at it again, it's soy sauce and vinegar.
"Eat first, if it's not enough, I'll go back and get some more." ”
"Enough, enough. Zhou Xiao shook his head: "I had breakfast in the morning." ”
"That's fine. My mother habitually began to scan the hygiene situation, and saw the backpack on the side of the sofa: "Where are you going?"
"Oh!"
Zhou Xiao wiped the corners of his mouth, and talked about the fact that he sponsored his children to go to school and planned to go to see it with Meng Ziyi tomorrow.
"You did a good job, we have the conditions now, and we should really help when we see that there are difficulties. The mother affirmed her son's actions: "In addition to clothes, you can buy some candy, books or something, aren't there children in elementary school?" ”
"Eh, I remember. Zhou Xiao didn't think of this: "Do you want to buy toys?"
"You can buy some, how can there be children who don't like toys, when you were a child, your aunt bought a Transformer, isn't it like a baby. ”
"Hahaha! I don't know where I ran away, I remember crying for a long time. Zhou Xiao remembered.
"I guess you took it outside to play and forgot it. Mom didn't know either: "By the way, did your dad tell you?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xiao raised his head.
"There was a call from the village last night, remember the small bridge on the east side of the village. ”
"I remember. ”
"Collapsed. Mom's face was solemn.
"It's pretty much the same, no one is hurt. ”
When he was a child, he and his friends often caught fish and shrimp in that river, and the small stone bridge was dilapidated.
"It collapsed in the middle of the night, it's okay, there are vegetable gardens and fruit trees on the other side, it's winter soon, and you can't go through the water, so the village decided to say that everyone raised funds to build a bigger bridge again. ”
"Then ask my dad to pay for it, right? ”
"Hmm!"
"Come out, how big is that river, it doesn't cost much. ”
"A small 100,000 yuan is wanted, and a tablet will be carved on the side to negotiate the name of the donor. ”
"This is a good thing, ask me what to do?" Zhou Xiao didn't understand.
"Your father's idea is that most of the people in the village are not very wealthy, or our family will make a big fortune, after all, we have lived there for decades. ”
"Ouch, it's a good thing to build bridges and roads, and it's okay if everything goes out. "Zhou Xiao has no opinion.
"Okay, I'll tell your dad when I get back. ”
"But it's better to listen to the opinions of the village, and people can't stop them from donating, right? ”
"Yes, yes, you are right. ”
