231. Go back to your hometown
This publicity campaign went very smoothly, although there was a sense of being dominated by Xu Shihuo in the early stage, but the audience's enthusiastic feedback was still good.
"William, Thomson, do you have anything to do later?" asked Xu Shi.
William smiled and said, "There is nothing else to do for the time being, and the next offline promotion will be in about five days." ”
"Everyone had a meal together that night, and the crew of "The Witch" was also together, and everyone got to know each other. Xu Shi said his purpose.
"Yes, I also want to know more Chinese celebrities, maybe when we will come to Huaxia to beg for food. William has no objection to this.
"Then eight o'clock in the evening, when I will send you the address. Xu Shi said.
“OK。 ”
made an appointment with them, and Xu Shi didn't stay long, this was still something he thought of temporarily, and he needed to inform Xu Xiaoxiao of them.
When Xu Shi returned to Xu Xiaoxiao and them, Cheng Guochao came over as soon as possible.
"Haha, it looks like we're still in this group. Cheng Guochao said with a big smile, obviously he also watched William's promotional activities.
Xu Shi said: "Okay, do you have time at night?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"In the evening, I'm going to bring William and them over, have a meal together, get to know each other, even if they have made friends, they are all mixed in the same circle, although they are foreign and domestic, but maybe they need to be used, how about it?" Xu Shi said.
"Go, of course, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, maybe I'll be able to go to Hollywood again. Cheng Guochao said excitedly.
He will definitely not refuse such a thing, although now Huaxia has become the hottest place at the global box office, but in this circle, Hollywood is still a well-deserved boss.
And William and Thomson's fame in Hollywood is still here, and he certainly can't refuse.
And Xu Xiaoxiao and the others naturally didn't have the slightest opinion when they heard Xu Shi's arrangement, and they quickly began to prepare.
At half past seven in the evening, Xu Shi and a group of people came to a private restaurant, which was recommended by Director Gao, and said that it was very good.
Not only can I cook Chinese food, but I also make great Western food, which is why Xu Shixuan is here.
"Hello, director William, I have been known for a long time. ”
"Director Cheng, I've seen your filming of "One Man's Martial Arts", it's really amazing. ”
At first, because everyone was not very familiar with each other, they directly started to blow each other, but they soon became acquainted.
"Come, William, I toast you. Cheng Guochao raised his glass and said again, at this time his face was already flushed, it was only less than half an hour earlier, and a pound of wine was already in his stomach.
Cheng Guochao is rare to have such a state, and there is no ambiguity at all when drinking.
William and the others were almost fine, and they all let go, and the meal became lively for a while.
Xu Shi didn't have any purpose in coming to everyone this time, it was just to let everyone get to know each other, so no one mentioned the right thing, so naturally it wouldn't spoil the atmosphere.
Xu Xiaoxiao chatted very happily with several actresses, and they all began to call each other sisters for a while.
After dinner, Xu Shi began to organize night activities for the first time, but because there were a lot of girls there, William and the others were disappointed, they were all formal places.
...............
Xu Shi returned to the capital, and for offline publicity, he only needed to participate in a few shows, so after participating, he returned to the company to deal with affairs.
"Uncle, your loveliest niece is here. Zhao Xiaoqing jumped out with a grin, and her good friend Pu Xiaolu was on the side.
Xu Shi smiled and said, "When did you come? Your mother kicked you out again?"
"What is called driving out, I am running away from home, and she has to take care of me in everything. Zhao Xiaoqing pouted.
Just two days ago, Xu Yan counted Zhao Xiaoqing in the family group and directly listed Zhao Xiaoqing's top ten crimes.
The mother and daughter are incompatible these days, and they are about to explode when they meet each other.
"Okay, don't be angry with your mother, your mother also cares about you, by the way, did you tell your mother before you came?" Xu Shi asked worriedly.
"Anyway, if I don't say I'll dare to go? She didn't break my leg yet. Zhao Xiaoqing muttered.
She still has points at this point, if she runs out without saying a word, then she will become unreasonable, maybe Xu Shi and Xu Mei will reprimand her together.
Xu Shi was very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "That's good, you take the deer to go shopping first, and my uncle will make something delicious for you to eat in the evening." ”
"Thank you, uncle. Zhao Xiaoqing said.
"By the way, do you have any money? If not, I'll get you some. Xu Shi said, when her niece comes, she can't be short of money to spend.
"Hee-hee, thank you, uncle. Zhao Xiaoqing didn't say whether she had money or not, and directly stretched out her white and tender little hand, of course she would not be polite to her brother-in-law.
"Okay, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you later, save some flowers. Xu Shidao.
After saying a few words to Zhao Xiaoqing, Xu Shi prepared to go upstairs, took out his mobile phone and turned it on, ready to transfer money to Zhao Xiaoqing.
But as soon as I turned on the phone, I saw a few missed calls, basically all of them were the eldest brother's phone, and the eldest sister also called.
Xu Shi was stunned, why is he so anxious? Make so many calls?
Xu Shi walked out of the elevator and was just about to call back when he saw the eldest sister coming over.
"Xiaoshi, are you back?" said the eldest sister.
"Eldest sister, what's so in a hurry, eldest brother made more than a dozen calls. Xu Shi asked in confusion.
"Grandpa left last night and wanted to ask if you would go back. Xu Mei said.
"Huh? Of course I went back. Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said.
Xu Shi and Xu Mei also didn't show too much sadness, firstly, because they didn't get along for a long time, they only saw each other once or twice a year.
The second is that his grandfather was rich in that era, although it was not far from their home, but relatively, it was a little more estranged.
This can be regarded as the reason of that era, the grandfather's sons and daughters are not surnamed Xu, so they did not have much contact with their parents when they were in the Xu world, which led to even less contact between their grandchildren.
But no matter what, the grandfather is still their grandfather, and he should go back at this time.
"Grandpa, this can be regarded as a happy funeral, is it more than eighty years old this year?" asked Xu Shi.
"Eighty-eight, when I left, I didn't suffer any illness or disaster, I didn't suffer any crime, I was happy and mournful. Xu Mei said.
"That's good, I'll book a ticket right away, by the way, does Xiaoxiao need to go back?" asked Xu Shi.
Xu Mingjie must go back, if it is really counted, Xu Mingjie is the eldest son and grandson of their family, after all, the grandfather is rich, and their grandfather is the boss.
"Let her go back, after all, it's her grandfather, the etiquette can't be lost, and she also needs to be present when the time comes. Xu Mei said.
For these things, Xu Mei is more than Xu Shi, and she has experienced more, for example, Xu Shi doesn't know much about these things, especially in terms of etiquette.
Xu Shi didn't have time to rest, so he went home directly, took a change of clothes, and rushed to the airport with his eldest sister.
However, there was no way to promise Zhao Xiaoqing's dinner, so Zhao Xiaoqing could only stay in the capital alone.
But Zhao Xiaoqing didn't care about this at all, but had a feeling of being unrestrained.
How comfortable it is to have money on you and no one cares about it.
Xu Mingjie is not in the capital now, he went to shoot a variety show, fortunately, the filming has been completed at this time, so there is no need to delay any time.
By the time Xu Shi and the others returned to their city, it was already night, and after thinking about it, they were still ready to set off immediately, after all, this was a funeral, and it was best not to delay time.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Shicai returned to his hometown.
"Come, bring these first, and then follow me to grandpa's house. "Big brother Xu Cheng has been waiting for them for a long time, and he has arranged things properly.
Xu Shi immediately dressed up and followed the eldest brother to the eldest grandfather's house, and on the way, the eldest brother also told Xu Shi about the situation.
Speaking of which, human life is really fragile, or at a certain age, it is really one foot in the underworld.
Five days ago, grandpa's health was still very good, he should eat and drink, everything was as usual, and from time to time he would go to play cards with those old men, chat, and bask in the sun.
But that night, the grandfather felt sick to his stomach and couldn't eat, so he just drank a little millet porridge.
Their family didn't care at the time, after all, they were too old to be here, and it was normal to feel a little unwell.
But the next day, the grandfather didn't know how, maybe he noticed something, and began to explain the aftermath.
This shocked their families, and they immediately took them to the hospital for examination, and the results of the examination were not wrong, but they had a small cold, and they took some medicine in the hospital at that time.
But before they could go back at noon, the grandfather's health immediately failed, and he was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit.
Until last night, it didn't survive.
"Hey, who would have thought that a cold would not be able to hold on. Xu Cheng sighed.
Comparatively speaking, Xu Cheng's feelings for his grandfather are still a little, after all, he is here, and his eldest brother has not left his hometown to live in the county seat when he was a child.
Plus it's a son again, and the grandfather was very good to Xu Cheng when he was a child.
Unlike Xu Shi, he already lived in the county seat when he was born, and he rarely returned to his hometown.
"Indeed, when I went to visit my uncle in the hospital yesterday, I drove to the hospital by myself, and it seemed that it was just a small problem at first, but after I went in, I didn't come out, and I couldn't go directly that night, and human life was too fragile. A middle-aged man next to him said.
A few people sighed and came to the grandfather's house, Xu Shigui kowtowed a few times, and then said a few words to the grandfather's family.
"Xu Shi, I didn't expect you to come back, I originally thought that you would not let you come back if you were busy. The grandfather's son said politely.
Xu Shi's return really surprised him, and he naturally knew that Xu Shi was a little busy now.
You must know that now there are three big stars in one of their villages, especially if they have some relatives with them, so naturally they will not pay attention to it.
Although it is said that whether it is Xu Shi, Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao, they basically rarely live in the village, but no matter what, they are still people in the village, and Xu Shi's household registration has not moved away.
Xu Shi said: "I'm busy and I'm going to come back, don't be too careful, grandpa is also a happy funeral." ”
After chatting for a while, Xu Shi left here and went back to rest first.
Originally, Xu Shi thought that this matter should pass so plainly, but he didn't expect that the next day there were suddenly many people on their side, all of whom were young people living nearby.
Xu Shi, Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao are all popular stars now, and their fame is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and many people want to see them.
Especially since they are all from a village or a township, it is even more interesting to talk about.
So these people came over one by one, wanting to meet Xu Shi, and by the way, they took some videos to increase their fans.
In the past, although Xu Shi and they also came back in the middle of the year, it was just the effort of having a meal, and at that time, every family had something to do, so there were not many people who came over.
But now these people have time, where will they let go of such an opportunity.
Soon, a large group of people gathered here, all holding mobile phones in their hands, and began to shoot videos non-stop.
When Xu Shi saw this state, he immediately frowned, and then said to the eldest grandfather's son: "I'm really sorry, I'll go and let them leave." ”
"It's okay, you can't help yourself, we can understand. The grandfather's son said.
But having said that, when I encountered such a thing at home, and was surrounded by so many people to watch the play, I was not in a very good mood after all.
Xu Shi hurriedly walked out, ready to solve this matter, but he also understood that such a thing could not be violent, that would only make things worse.
It is also possible to attract reporters, and even if the reporters know about this matter, they will not be stupid to come over for an interview, but if violent means are used, it may be possible.
And they are all villagers, if it is not necessary, violence can be avoided.
Seeing Xu Shi come out, these people were even more excited, and one by one their mobile phones couldn't wait to poke Xu Shi's face.
Xu Shi took a deep breath, arched his hand forward and said: "Friends, you have also seen that this place is really not suitable for everyone to do this, everyone is a villager, give face, and please don't disturb the old man's sleep for the time being."
At the end of the year, I invite everyone to dinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”
Xu Shi's words were very polite, and what he said was reasonable, these people are also villagers, and someone took the lead in saying a few words, and then slowly left.
When Xu Shi saw this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, everyone was more reasonable.
If they keep doing this, Xu Shi and they can only leave early for the time being, but since everyone is reasonable, then what Xu Shi should do still needs to be done.
But Xu Shi never thought that the matter was not over.
On the fourth day, Xu Shi participated in the send-off, wearing linen and filial piety, walking in the middle of a group of people, which was not much of an eye-catcher.
But then he saw a person holding a mobile phone, as if he was doing a live broadcast.
And this person is still at the head of the team, and from time to time he looks like I'm awesome.
The voice was also very loud, and the most important thing was that this person actually walked into the team.
Xu Shi's brows suddenly furrowed, and there were people over there who wanted to blow this person away, but they didn't expect this person to take this opportunity to start making trouble.
The originally solemn and solemn atmosphere suddenly became a chicken.
And this person quickly ran in front of Xu Shi, his eyes lit up, and then he shouted at the screen: "Brothers, do you see it, this is Xu Shi, I didn't lie to you, come, Xu Shi, say hello to the brothers." ”
As he spoke, he also pointed the mobile phone camera at Xu Shi, looking very familiar with Xu Shi, which made Xu Shi's anger rise all of a sudden.
This man is insane, right?
Xu Shier grabbed the phone without saying a word, fell to the ground, and said angrily: "Are you sick?"
"Xu Shi, what are you doing? I'm interviewing you, you're ........."
This person seems to be even more angry than Xu Shi, this is a great opportunity for him to become famous, and from the beginning today, he has received a lot of rewards.
When the mobile phone was pointed at Xu Shi just now, he saw that there were several large rewards, and Xu Shi was cutting off his financial route.
Seeing this person's appearance, Xu Shi didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he directly grabbed him, pressed him to the ground, and then handed him over to the people on the side.
This person was pressed to the ground by Xu Shi, and his mouth was not polite at all, and he hurriedly scolded angrily, as if he was sure that Xu Shi would not dare to really do anything to him.
"Call the police and let the police take care of it. Xu Shi said to the people on the side.
As he spoke, Xu Shiyi stepped on this person's face, making him unable to speak.
The team that originally saw off was so troubled that it suddenly became a little discordant.
After Xu Shi and the others came back, the police also arrived, Xu Shi first compensated his grandfather's family, and then said to the police: "Two police officers, I am ready to donate 500,000 yuan to our county police station." ”
Xu Shi didn't mention how to deal with this matter, nor did he say anything else, the first thing he said was donations.
However, everyone is not stupid, and they can immediately understand what Xu Shi means.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, I know this person, I don't usually do anything serious, I have been caught by us a few times, I heard that there was a theft a few days ago that seems to be related to him, and I will find out more about it when the time comes. ”
"Then I'm sorry for you. ”
Xu Shi knows that the police are not very attentive to some small things, there is no way, the police force is indeed a little insufficient, if they do their best in everything, then they don't need to do anything else.
And the people over there are dumbfounded, he really did what the police said, just a few days ago, but as long as he is not caught, there is basically nothing, but now it seems that the police are really starting to get serious.
Xu Shi and the police didn't look at him squarely, this person is looking for death by himself, and he wants to be famous and crazy!
But Xu Shi didn't want to stay here longer after this incident, but he had already done what he had to do, and no one would say anything if he left now.
