Chapter 142: Xia Xunfang

Wan Yushan didn't know where to get Xia Xunfang's previously banned movie.

Chen Xiao only saw half of the first movie, so he didn't watch it anymore, he is still not suitable for watching this kind of movie with a heavy horror atmosphere, no wonder it will be blocked.

However, judging from these movies, Xia Xunfang is still good.

It just so happened that Xia Xunfang was in the magic capital, so he took a time to make an appointment and looked for it.

Xia Lao was once an honorary doctorate from Boston University in the United States, and is the only director who can win all the major awards at the Cannes Film Festival in ten years.

Its commercial films are considered to be milestones in the era of Chinese blockbusters.

But such a director who has played an important role in the development of Chinese films has not been in a good mood recently.

A director's job is to direct.

If your directing skills have declined, then it is time for you to retire.

Xia Lao seems to think the same way, Chen Xiao has basically not heard any voice from this person recently.

Chen Xiao drove his BMW and drove into a villa area.

"That's it?"

He lowered the window and poked his head out to look at the place.

This villa area seems to be some years old, and the style is older than the current emerging villas, but on the contrary, it is quieter, and it is indeed a good place to retire.

After getting out of the car, checking the place, and making sure that there was nothing wrong, he rang the doorbell.

The electric gate is open, and you can see a long corridor of vines, and it is now the season of grape ripening, and the bunches of purple-black grapes fall into the air, growing huge and delightful.

"Goo-goo-goo......"

Chen Xiao looked sideways, and a flock of pigeons were flying around a person, competing for food.

"Is it Chen Xiao? You sit down for a while, wait for me to finish feeding the pigeons, and pick the grapes yourself if you want to eat them. ”

"Hey, okay. ”

These grapes have been chattering in front of him for so long, Chen Xiao has long been unaccustomed to seeing them, he picked one first, he didn't wash it, he tasted it, it tasted good, it seemed to have a little strawberry fragrance, the key thing is that there are no grape seeds.

These grapes are even better than those sold in fruit stores.

He was not polite, and picked a bunch, only to find that several grapes had been bitten by pigeons.

Throwing away these bitten grapes, he walked to Xia Xunfang's side with a bunch of grapes.

Although Xia Xunfang is over sixty years old, she still has black hair, and she looks energetic.

"Xia Lao, you are planning to enjoy your old age in peace, the pigeons are really good. ”

Xia Xunfang clapped his hands and sat aside, but there were still a lot of pigeons coming to his side: "I'm just a hobby now, come, how about tasting my tea?"

"To make you laugh, no matter how good the tea leaves are, they taste the same as a big bowl of tea in my mouth. ”

"So you young people don't know how to live, drink tea like me, first take a small sip, let the tea reverberate in the mouth, and then swallow it in three small bites, it is really fresh and sweet, full of relish, long aftertaste, it is not an exagger......ation to say that it is the soul of spring."

"Ahem...... Don't, compared to you, I feel like I'm a big boss, I'm better at eating grapes. ”

"Haha, it's good to eat grapes. ”

Xia Xunfang smiled: "Speaking of this grape, do you know what it's called?"

Chen Xiao looked at the grapes in his hand, a little curious: "Grapes still have names?"

"Yes, why not, there are so many kinds of grapes, if there are no names, then you have to mess around?"

"That's right, but I really don't know. ”

"I planted this grape five years ago, when I happened to make a movie, but the reputation was not very good, and it was also the film that overdrew my reputation, so I felt that the current film market was not my time, and I thought about retirement.

Of course, I didn't retire in the end, but I still planted these grapes to remind myself. ”

It was the first time Chen Xiao had heard of a grape to warn him.

"And the name of the grape?"

"It's called 'Summer Black,' and I liked it when I saw it, isn't that just me? ”

Chen Xiao: "......"

"Chen Xiao, I also read your script, it's really good, but I haven't made this style of movie for several years, how can you be sure that I can still make this kind of movie?"

"To be honest, I don't really know much about Xia Lao, but I believe in Wan Dao. ”

"Oh, it turned out that the kid from Yushan called you, it's no wonder, he has now become an 800 million director with you, and now if my old man goes over, why do you have to add 800 million to me, right?"

"Haha, the box office is all false names, but in my opinion, the box office of this movie will not be less than one billion. ”

"You're quite sharp, I'll talk to you, I feel a lot younger, okay! I'll take over this movie, and now I can start preparing directly. ”

"Then it's troublesome for Old Xia. ”

"Don't call me Xia Lao, this is all fun for people in the circle, I prefer others to call me Director Xia. ”

"Xia Dao!"

......

"Mr. Chen, has "Stone" been nominated?"

"So fast? What nomination?"

"It's the Huabiao Award, which won the Outstanding Digital Film Award, and was nominated for the Outstanding Film Technology Award and the Outstanding Director Award. ”

As soon as Chen Xiao came out of Xia Xunfang's house, he received a call from Wan Yushan.

His excitement could be heard on the phone.

There is no way, the problem of the box office these days lingers like a shadow, which always makes him feel unsteady.

But now it's okay, if the movie can win an award, he will be much more down-to-earth.

Especially if the director award can be won, it will be even better.

"Ha, then congratulations to Director Wan. ”

"It's just a nomination now, and it's a matter of whether you can get the award or not. ”

"Three nominations, how can you get one without accident, this is an honor. ”

"I still want to thank Mr. Chen for his excellent script, but speaking of which, why is there no nomination for the Outstanding Screenwriter Award?"

Chen Xiao said with a dark face: "You think that the Huabiao Award is opened by your family, you can give whatever award you want, and it would be good to get the prize." ”

"Hehe, that's what I said, I originally wanted to attend the award ceremony with Mr. Chen. ”

"Come on, there will be more opportunities for this kind of ceremony in the future, I really don't want to run around, it's hard!"

"Hey, you said you were fat and you were still panting, you can die if you don't brag. ”

"Hey...... Sometimes no one believes me when I tell the truth, what can I do, I'm also helpless. ”

"Okay, good, braggart, I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first, in addition to bragging, we will still be good friends in the future. ”
