Chapter 129: The Everyday of Pain
"Eh, eh, it's time to get up. β
The next day.
Shi Shi wrapped himself in pajamas and stepped on slippers to come to the bedroom to urge.
Qiao Mu was still not awake, opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at it, it turned out to be Shi Shi. He said weakly, "What are you doing?"
Shi Shi stuck his waist and said triumphantly: "I made an appointment with Xu Lao Wei last night, he happened to be in Huadu, you go with me to meet." β
With that little face up, it's like doing something amazing, as if waiting for someone to praise him.
It's just that she chose the wrong person.
"What time is it?" Qiao Mu muttered.
Without waiting for Shi Shi to answer, he turned over, hugged Da Mi Mi tightly and said, "It's still early, I'll sleep for a while." β
Shi Shi was speechless, she said, "She's so good that you can't even get up?"
This is simply nonsense.
In terms of feel, in fact, it is the most comfortable to hold in my own poems. Qiao Mu naturally wouldn't admit it, and he defended himself: "No, I have recently suffered from narcolepsy. β
"Huh. Shi Shi sneered twice, and said in a sour tone: "You just can't let go, right?"
Qiao Mu still closed his eyes and said firmly: "No, it's narcolepsy." β
"Believe you have ghosts. β
Shi Shi squatted down, put his little hand into the quilt, and touched it around.
Qiao Mu was first refreshed, and then shocked. He hurriedly opened his eyes and said, "Good sister, I was wrong. I got up right away. β
Shi Shi let go, wiped his little hand on the silk quilt, and said disgustedly: "Aren't you sleepy?"
Qiao Mu smiled awkwardly: "I don't think you can sleep." β
Shi Shi pinched his face and said, "Stop, hurry up and freshen up, and then go to have morning tea." It just so happens that Old Monster Xu is in Huadu, you can have an interview, don't waste time. People are very busy, don't think it's the same as us. β
"Ah" Qiao Mu yawned, took out his underwear from under the pillow at random, looked at Shi Shi and said, "I'm also very busy, and I've been idle recently." If I run the notice, it is estimated that there will be seven cities in three days, and I will be exhausted to death. β
Shi Shi pushed him and scolded angrily: "You girl, haven't you woken up yet? Are these your bottoms?"
Qiao Mu took a look, grabbed the pillow, covered his face and said: "Oh, it's a shame, can't you pretend not to know? β
"Poof. How old are you, and you're still coquettish?" Shi Shi was amused.
Da Mi Mi pretended to be asleep, she couldn't pretend anymore, she pushed Qiao Mu in disgust, and said, "Idiot, get up quickly, you guy with no cards." β
Qiao Mu threw the pillow to the sky, and said, "If I say, 'I have to kiss before I get up', will you feel disgusted?"
Shi Shi had goosebumps all over her body and trembled, she grabbed Qiao Mu's arm and said, "Don't be ashamed, get up quickly." β
Put on your own bottoms and walk slowly to the bathroom.
Drain the water and squeeze the toothpaste.
Half-asleep and half-awake, he glanced at the mirror, and said in surprise: "Shishi, come here." β
Shi Shi was staring at Da Mi Mi, and when he heard the call, he trotted over in three or two steps, panting and asking, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Mu pointed to the mirror and said, "You, look at it, that guy is so handsome." β
Shi Shi couldn't help it, rushed over, strangled his neck, and pinched his other little hand on him.
The fair skin was full of red marks.
Shi Shi propped up her knees and glared at the tease, and she said, "Does it hurt?"
Qiao Mu leaned against the wall, blew his arms, and said lightly, "It hurts!"
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid!"
"Then do you dare to mess with me?"
Qiao Mu said: "I can have a song to express. β
"What song?"
"Go forward Tiger Mountain, clear the clouds and see the light. In the dream, the flowers bloom in the peony pavilion, the fantasy comes true, and the song and dance are leveled. β
Shi Shi was thoughtful and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Mu rubbed Shi Shi's head, and he said, "Read more, your specialty doesn't know as much as mine." β
"I'm an undergraduate. You high school student, what are you arguing with me?"
"Tsk, you're outrageous. I'm a top student at Berkeley, California, don't spread rumors. β
"What about the diploma?"
"Ate ......"
β¦β¦
Gotta drink tea.
Morning tea has been integrated into the life of Nanyue people.
The long-term prosperity of the morning tea culture in Nanyue is inseparable from the prosperity of trade and rapid economic development in Nanyue since ancient times.
In Nanyue, you can talk about business, exchange information, and also meet friends and talk about the world during morning tea. Businessmen use the teahouse as an important place for negotiation, and ordinary people relieve their stress here in exchange for a half-day of leisure.
They came early, and there weren't many people in this teahouse.
Before entering, look up at a couplet.
"Busy for fame, busy for profit, busy and leisurely, drink a cup of tea, work hard, work hard, make fun in suffering, bring a pot of wine. β
This is a portrayal of the hearts of Nanyue people when they eat morning tea.
If there are four seasons in this life.
Then at the window, the old monster Xu with white hair and sunglasses is already an old man who has stepped into winter.
Walking over, Old Monster Xu was slowly sipping a cup of black tea.
The black tea is dark red, the soup is thick, the taste is bitter and astringent, although it is not as good as green tea in terms of vision and taste, it warms the stomach and is greasy, which is conducive to digestion, which is an excellent match with the rich flavor of Nanyue morning tea.
"Mr. Xu, I'll enjoy it!" Qiao Mu learned a familiar way of talking and said to Old Monster Xu.
"In the morning, let's all sit down first!" Xu nodded and said hello in Cantonese. Then, he held out his hand and said, "Waiter." β
Wandering in the teahouse, the waiter who was holding the porcelain bowl of refreshments came over and said respectfully, "Xu Sheng, what to eat?"
Old Monster Xu said, "What are you going to eat?"
"It's all right!"
Xu Laowei casually ordered a few pastries with the waiter, and then got straight to the point and said, "Last night, Miss Liu told me that you have a movie you want to cooperate with me?"
This is a very strong person.
Qiao Mu was a little uncomfortable, he said, "Well, a movie with tomb robbery elements?"
Sooner or later, Xu Laowei had heard of it. He pulled out a piece of paper on which he drew a series of bizarre sketches.
He said: "I have checked the information, it's based on it, isn't it? There are a lot of monsters like mandrills, black, iron-headed dragon kings, and blue-scaled pythons, right?"
Yo he, I actually did my homework, and Qiao Mu's good impression of Old Monster Xu has increased a lot. He said, "Well, there's a lot of weird stuff involved. I am very particular about the director's imagination, and I think it is more suitable for your style, so I chose you. β
Xu Lao Wei said: "Well, thank you Qiao Sheng." But I have all the words to be with you. β
"What?"
"I heard Miss Liu say that your script is not well written, and I want to participate in it. This is a very interesting work, or is it based on the adaptation, I have to talk to the author. The author, so good, I have to see what is in his head, he can come up with so many bizarre things. β
"Oh, that's fine. β
"Also, who will decide the actors? Do you pick people, or do I pick them?"
There are many Hong Kong and Taiwan directors who go north, but the investor's favorite should be Xu Laowei.
Xu Laowei can eat well in the mainland, firstly, because in recent years, his movies have had a good reputation at the box office, and secondly, because he is more tolerant of investors and is deeply liked by investors.
Even Yang Tianbao was stuffed into Shendu Dragon King 2, which is enough to see the good temper of Old Monster Xu.
Qiao Mu said: "We pick, but I want to hear your opinion." β
Xu Lao Wei said: "Hmm, I haven't decided on the book yet, I can't decide, and I have no opinion." However, I prefer two actors, one is Chen Kun and the other is Lin Xiaoxin. Lin Xiaoxin is good, young and has potential. β
Xu Laowei should be a clear stream in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he is the director who loves to promote mainland actors. Lin Xiaoxin followed him, and he has already made several movies, which makes people have to question what kind of dirty deals are there.
Qiao Mu said, "What do you think of me?"
Old Monster Xu frowned, and he said, "Qiao Sheng, I won't talk to you." I have a bad temper, and besides, I'm in a hurry. When I was filming "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", I started work at 6 o'clock in the morning and finished at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. Just eat, rest for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. β
"Really, don't you sleep?"
"I sleep, I sleep when I set up the scene and eat. However, you have to be serious about filming, don't grind. Also, when I was filming, I didn't like to see actors rolling around. At that time, I often couldn't see the actors for a while, and I could only shoot stand-ins and horses all day. β
Qiao Mu will be skeptical.
When they saw that there was a poem, they naturally used Chinese, not the Cantonese they used to greet.
So Shi Shi could also understand, she asked with interest: "Who is Director Xu talking about?"
Old Monster Xu shook his head and said, "No, don't hurt people behind your back." Leave a line in the future, and he will see each other in the future. β
"Ha, Xu Sheng really has the demeanor of a Jianghu person in martial arts. Qiao Mu said with a smile.
"Well, don't talk about that. Qiao Sheng, if you want to act, I have to change the script with the author. β
Qiao Mu hurriedly stopped him, he said, "Don't, you have to respect the original work as much as possible." You can make up the story, but the characters and world view can't change, which is the basic requirement. β
Xu Laowei tasted the tea shallowly, and said, "That's okay, does Qiao Sheng have any requirements for the filming of this movie?"
Request?
Qiao Mu thought for a while, and he said, "Can it be released on National Day next year?"
Old Monster Xu said with some regret: "Then it's in a hurry." This movie, according to Miss Liu, is ready to be shot in IMAX format, that is, the cycle of making special effects, which is at least 3 to 5 months. Then there is dubbing and editing, and it is estimated that the post-production time will take more than half a year. Qiao Sheng, if you want to celebrate the National Day next year, you have to consider the publicity cycle. From today, if you shoot it, it will be less than 5 months. β
More than?
Qiao Mu said: "That, I actually want to say that it must be completed before the Chinese New Year, and it can't be delayed until the New Year." β
Tsui Hark took a breath of cold air, and he said: "You are a big movie, and you can make a script into a series, so you can't waste it at will." β
Movies are very important, but I have to celebrate the New Year.
In a few days, my children will be born, and I can't spend the first year with BB, so what kind of father is it?
"In this way, if you can't get out, shoot 3D. 3D can't catch up, so let's shoot 2D. β
"In that case, you are sure to shoot, and now you will prepare the crew. This matter cannot be delayed, and the project will be approved first. I'll take care of the script, the actors, and the equipment. This movie must be filmed with IMAX, otherwise the effect will be much worse. β
Qiao Mu likes this kind of cheerful person. He said: "Another thing, I have a guy here who wants to learn to be a director. Look, can you stay around and teach?"
Old Monster Xu glanced at Shi Shi, her face was a little strange, so she asked, "Is it Miss Liu?"
Qiao Mu hugged Shi Shi, who was a little shy, and said with a smile: "Well, it's my fiancΓ©e." β
"No problem. What a good daughter-in-law of the Nanyue people!" Xu Laowei laughed, and then gave Shi Shi a thumbs up, he said, "Miss Liu is so blessed." β
"Hmm!" Shi Shi replied softly, bowing his head.
