Chapter 139: Going Home
"The celebrity effect is good!"
In the villa, Xue Jingshu sighed to Lu Yao.
Since it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Pan and Xu Xian, including the bodyguard Li Yun, went home to reunite with their families and celebrate the New Year together, and only their brother and sister were left in the villa.
"When I think you are still in Europe, I went around socializing and talking about cooperation with major movie theaters, and they refused to let go.
But when you make a name for yourself in Europe, they take a 180-degree turn.
Although there is also support from above, in the final analysis, it is you who rely on your own strength to win glory for the country.
The film scheduling rate can be in the first place, which is simply not expected in advance. ”
"That's a good feeling!"
"Of course it's good, but I've told you a long time ago that there are pros and cons to everything.
In the domestic film market, the cake is so big, if you share more, some people will naturally share less.
Our film schedule is so high, it is bound to squeeze other Chinese New Year films, and their directors, producers, and investors must be dissatisfied.
So recently, some people have begun to organize water armies to secretly hack us.
If the premiere word-of-mouth is okay, then it's okay.
Once the reputation is not good, then they will definitely fall into the trap and blacken us to death, saying that we are kidnapping the patriotic masses in your name and spending money to watch bad movies. ”
Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
"Is this what it means: 'If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight'?
It's also true, spending a lot of money and scheduling films crazily, if it is a big bad movie with a lot of money to the audience, it is normal to be sprayed!"
"Are you still in the mood to laugh?" Xue Jingshu said with some concern, "I'm so nervous right now." ”
"What's so nervous about this? If you shoot well, you deserve praise; if you shoot badly, you have to accept it humbly if you are sprayed, and you have to stand up when you are beaten. Lu Yao didn't care, "But I'm quite confident!"
He paid close attention to all the editing work of "Crazy Stone".
This "remake", compared with the meagre investment of 3 million when Ning Hao was directed in the previous life, the whole DV shooting, Lu Yao's version has a high investment and more professional equipment, although the director's professionalism is not comparable, but according to the gourd painting, it still restores the charm of the original film.
That's why he had faith.
Xue Jingshu looked at him in a daze.
"Uncle Tong must be very relieved to see you so confident!" she said, "He shouldn't have thought that his son, who refused to be a director and developed into the film and television entertainment industry, would actually be enlightened, and he is so confident!"
Hearing her mention Tong Chenggang, Lu Yao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Having said that, today is the Spring Festival. Xue Jingshu lowered her head: "Yesterday I went to my uncle's house and drank some wine with him, and he seemed to be in a ...... mood
How to say it, both happy and lonely.
Happy, probably because you have finally embarked on this road, and you can actually face him face to face with him during the Spring Festival;
As for the lonely ......"
"For the Chinese New Year, my son is also in the same city, not to mention going home for the New Year, I don't even have a phone call, of course the old man feels uncomfortable. Lu Yao sighed.
It is true that Tong Chenggang, who is a father, is too authoritarian, and his education methods are very extreme, so that he said things like "severing the relationship between father and son" in anger.
But certainly not sincerely.
But as soon as this sentence was spoken, the consequences were beyond his control.
If he hadn't crossed over, according to Tong Yao's character, he would have responded immediately at that time: "Break it, it's just what I want!" and even wouldn't have had any contact with his father from then on.
As a traverser, what he did at that time was basically what Tong Yao thought in his heart.
However, after such a period of time, from his modern point of view, Tong Chenggang is extreme, but he, as a traverser, is not rational enough.
"Brother, you?"
Xue Jingshu looked surprised and delighted.
She is good at observing words and feelings, how can she not hear the meaning of this sentence?
"Actually, you shouldn't have come back to spend the New Year with me yesterday. Lu Yao said, "Just stay at home with him." ”
He was telling the truth.
Yesterday was the first Spring Festival he had experienced.
All night, he was reminiscing about the past.
Thinking about parents who have passed away in another world.
Completely ignoring the fact that there is a "father" in this world who is related to his flesh.
If you think about it carefully, you are undoubtedly suspected of not appreciating the benefits.
After all, there is no Tong Chenggang, and he does not have a body to traverse.
"That's what Uncle Tong told me yesterday. Xue Jingshu said, "So in the end, he forced me to go out." ”
"Alas!"
The two fell silent.
"Anyway, do you want to eat dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Lu Yao asked.
"Hmm. It's a pity that I don't know how to make dumplings, so we can only eat frozen dumplings bought from the supermarket. ”
"The old man is moisturized there, and there is an aunt to help him make dumplings. ”
The "aunt" in his mouth is his stepmother.
After Tong Yao's biological mother died, Tong Chenggang remarried his second wife.
This is also an important factor that led Tong Yao to rebel and antagonize his father.
"yes. Last night, my aunt told me to go back to eat dumplings today, and I will bring you some back by the way!"
"Don't bother. Lu Yao said, "In this way, you call the old man and ask them to cook more, let's go over and eat!"
Xue Jingshu's eyes gradually widened.
"Brother, you are ......"
"What, do you want to eat frozen dumplings, or do you think they're not going to welcome me?"
"No, no, I'm just a little shocked...... Okay, wait a minute, I'll call!"
"Wait, forget it. Stop calling. ”
Xue Jingshu, who had just taken out her mobile phone, was stunned for a moment, and her face darkened.
"Brother, how can you be like this, backtracking......"
"How can I go back on my word?" Lu Yao smiled: "Let's go, let's drive over now and surprise them." ”
“???”
Xue Jingshu looked confused.
"Let's go!"
"Oh, okay!"
Half an hour later, Tong Chenggang's residence.
Looking at the villa in front of him, Lu Yao suddenly felt a little emotional.
Is this where the predecessor lived when he was a child?
Xue Jingshu stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
"Who?" came a woman's voice.
"Auntie is me, Jingshu!"
"It's Jingshu, are you here to eat dumplings?" said the woman happily as she walked over and opened the door.
The moment she opened the door, her expression changed from surprise to consternation.
"You, Haruka?"
"Hello Auntie. Happy New Year!" Lu Yao smiled and said his blessings, "Jingshu and I can't make dumplings, so I'm here to fight your idea." Auntie won't dislike me coming over to eat and drink, right?"
Auntie's eyes instantly filled with tears.
"How can it be? If you want to come and eat, I can't even be happy! Come in, it's cold outside!"
She whispered trembling words as she ushered the two of them through the door.
"Old man, who do you think is coming?"
She yelled at the study.
An old voice came from the study.
"Do you still need to guess, it must be Jingshu. ”
With the sound of talking, Tong Chenggang slowly paced out.
Then he saw Lu Yao beside Xue Jingshu.
For a moment, he was stunned.
