Chapter 973: They're Still Children

"Chen Qiaoen returned to Beijing today and had dinner with Mai Xiaoyu, Sun Yaxing and others in a restaurant to discuss the new drama "You from the Stars" ......"

This revelation is regarded as the weakest revelation in the history of Longxing Studio, and it also illustrates a problem from the side - the drama "Star" itself is unattractive, and the audience is only looking forward to the combination of Mai Xiaoyu and Chen Qiaoen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Step by Step" is a palace fighting drama of the palace, and before the start, he had a war of words with "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and it is still Mai Xiaoyu's debut work, and there are many topics.

Although the word-of-mouth of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" was unsatisfactory after the broadcast, the ratings soared all the way, completely making the heroine Yang Mi popular. The latter also sang the theme song "Offering of Love" by Xiao Yuer, which appeared on the music charts of many music websites in the mainland.

These have provided many topics for "Step by Step", and also made the TV series attract much attention before it was broadcast.

Not to mention "Why".

The pioneering work of Mary Sue novels in China has created a new routine of novel publishing. It has accumulated a wide readership base over the years, and the fat girl's interruption and the sweet interaction between Mai Xiaoyu and Tangyan have also aroused the expectations of many audiences for this drama.

After the launch of "Why", at the invitation of booksellers from all over the world, Feiyang Publishing House reprinted more than 100,000 copies and put them on the market, which is the best proof.

On the other hand, "Star", except for the combination of Mai Xiaoyu + Chen Qiaoen to promote, there are no other bright spots.

And there is not even a scandal between the two.

When "Step by Step" and "Why" were launched, there were also media hype about Mai Xiaoyu and Liu Shi, and the story between Mai Xiaoyu and Tang Yan that could not be ignored; During the preparation of "Star", no media talked about the relationship between Mai Xiaoyu and Chen Qiaoen.

The attention and topicality of "Star" are far less than the first two starring Mai Xiaoyu.

But the crew of "Star" didn't care.

Sun Yaxing, a delicate egoist, firmly believes that there will be large pieces of meat to eat with Mai Xiaoyu. Because so far, Mai Xiaoyu has never missed, no matter what the outside world thinks, Sun Yaxing is very optimistic about "Star".

Mai Xiaoyu needless to say. If he hadn't had faith in "The Star", he wouldn't have made this show the last installment in the "Fame Trilogy".

Chen Qiaoen doesn't care whether the script is good or bad. When she was filming endorsement advertisements abroad, she read the script three times and understood another meaning of Mai Xiaoyu and her starring in this drama.

After the three of them discussed the script and decided to start filming at the end of this year, they got busy again.

Sun Yaxing returned to the crew and presided over the preparation of the crew. The actors' auditions, auditions, staff arrangements, etc., sometimes fly to other places to determine the selection of locations.

Chen Qiaoen went to make a movie, and Hailian Cinema Co., Ltd. and several other companies jointly invested, mainly stimulated by Yang Mi.

After "Palace Lock Heart Jade" became popular, Yang Mi's popularity soared, and some movie crews took a fancy to her popularity. It just so happened that the heroine was not very famous, and the frame was not small, and she had a very unpleasant quarrel with the crew with the support of the little gold lord.

As soon as the crew communicated with the big financier, the big financier promised that as long as Yang Mi could be invited to star, he would kick the little financier out with the heroine, and he would make up for the remaining funding gap.

It just so happened that Yang Mi also wanted to challenge the big screen, and although the salary offered by the crew was not too high, there was a box office dividend, so she agreed. As a result, the thriller movie temporarily changed the heroine before it started, which also caused a lot of saliva, which helped the movie hype.

In all fairness, the small-budget thriller movie is really not good, the shooting is hasty, the plot is thin, the production is rough, and the special effects are generally around 5 points on major film review websites.

But—

The film has a lot of topics, got the summer vacation schedule, the film scheduling rate is not bad, and the final investment of more than 3 million yuan, the box office is approaching 90 million.

Although the actor was also a popular star in Hong Kong, this small-budget film was able to be ranked in the summer file, and after its release, the box office rose every day under the huge scolding, and achieved a box office of nearly 90 million, most of which is due to Yang Mi's popularity.

The power of the fan economy has also attracted the attention of the industry, and Hailian Cinema Line has paid attention to its daughter Chen Qiaoen.

Since the end of July, I have been selling scripts, raising funds, looking for directors, actors, and crews, and completing the preparation of the crew in more than three months. A medium-budget comedy romance movie, the heroine Chen Qiaoen, started shooting in early October and is expected to be completed within two months.

During the National Day, Chen Qiaoen participated in two commercial activities in Yanjing, and he was about to fly to the East China Sea to shoot a movie, and the start time of "Star" was also set for the end of this year.

However, this does not mean that Mai Xiaoyu can rest for two months.

He doesn't need to worry about the company's affairs, but in the preliminary preparations for the movie "Nine Gates", there are some things that require him to come forward.

"Lao Xi, when will the United States be busy......

"Brother Fork, how is the announcement of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", it's no problem to release it during Valentine's Day......"

"Changchang, brother is ready to make a movie, you are the heroine......"

After contacting Xi Xiaoxing, contacting Zhang Xiaoquan, and contacting Shu Chang, after finalizing next year's schedule, Mai Xiaoyu referred to the plot structure of a movie in the strange dream, as well as a lot of theoretical experience accumulated in his strange dream, and devoted himself to the creation of the script.

During this period, "The Voice" ended perfectly.

On the peak night of the finals, the star concert rating was 4.56%; The peak moment of the four groups of champions competing for the championship has a rating of 6.17%; The awards ceremony also had a 5.77% rating.

Among the top 16 contestants, more than 10 received contracts from different record labels and officially started their own music path.

Mengren once again created a phenomenal variety show, and "The Voice" single-handedly reversed the decline of the music talent show and once again caused a sensation in China.

In addition to many brands coming to the door to inquire about the title and sponsorship of the second season, various TV stations and variety show production companies have devoted their energy to music talent shows, striving to create a different model from the past, seeking innovation and high ratings.

However, none of this has anything to do with Mai Xiaoyu, he just went to the company for two days to take a look, and all his thoughts were condensed in the creation of the script of "Nine Gates".

After the National Day, the first draft of the script of "Nine Gates" was completed.

In early October, the second draft was revised.

In mid-October, the three drafts were revised.

At the end of October, the script of "Nine Gates" was finalized.

Throughout October, Mai Xiaoyu almost closed his door, rarely went to the company, and did not participate in the promotion of "Why Yi", relying entirely on Tang Yan to take the lead, just like when "Step by Step" was promoted.

Any star who does not appear in public for a long time will inevitably decline in popularity. And Mai Xiaoyu has no personal Weibo, and the official Weibo of Mengren has not been updated during this time.

When "Step by Step" premiered, the super popularity accumulated by Mai Xiaoyu has begun to gradually erode.

Only a small number of media outlets are still using the gimmick of "Step by Step" to successfully sell overseas copyrights, and the fact that he does not participate in the "Why" campaign, to report on him with limited intensity.

Mai Xiaoyu doesn't care about the decline in his popularity, as long as "Why" is successful after the broadcast early next year, his popularity can come back.

……

In Yanjing at the beginning of November, the weather was cold and the north wind was howling.

Fortunately, Yanjing, as the capital of China, has guaranteed heating in advance, and compared with many cities and regions in the north, the advantages of the capital are everywhere.

That evening, Mai Xiaoyu walked out of the house.

white knit sweater on the upper body and a black coat; The lower body is black straight pants, and an off-white scarf is wrapped around the neck...... Masks must not be missing, Mai Xiaoyu was dressed in casual clothes and drove straight to Shichahai.

The car was parked in a parking space on the side of the road, and Mai Xiaoyu walked to Jiumen Snack Street.

Although the weather is cold, Jiumen Snack Street, which brings together many time-honored delicacies in Yanjing, has many customers and business is very prosperous.

Mai Xiaoyu went straight to Lao Zou's fried chicken stall, walked in and found an empty table to sit down.

"Boss, one fried chicken and two beers."

Soon, a young man of eighteen or nineteen came over with fried chicken and beer.

"That's not right." Mai Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Don't you want a fried chicken and two beers?"

"Yes."

"That's right."

"That's not right."

The young man was young and vigorous: "What's wrong?" ”

"If I don't say it's right, it's not right."

The stall business is booming, there are many people buying fried chicken, and the young man still has business to greet, and he doesn't want to waste precious time with Mai Xiaoyu.

With a bang, fried chicken and beer were placed on the table, and he turned around to leave.

"I said something wrong, you put it down, I won't give money."

"You're not here to eat, you're here to find fault!" The young man put away the fried chicken and beer, "Don't delay our business, let's go!" ”

"Dawn!"

The middle-aged man who was making fried chicken stopped him, asked his daughter-in-law to take over the fried chicken production, walked over and took the fried chicken and beer from the young man's hand, and put them in front of Mai Xiaoyu.

Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "That's right this time." ”

Zou Tianming glared at him and shouted at the middle-aged man, "Dad! ”

"Go help your mom."

After sending his son away, Zou Datong stood opposite Mai Xiaoyu and asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm looking for you to drink."

Mai Xiaoyu opened his mouth left and right, opened the cap of the beer bottle with the thumbs of both hands, put one of the bottles in front of Zou Datong, pulled down the mask and said, "Please." ”

"I don't drink from strangers."

"Mai Shou is a stranger?"

"Aren't you Mai Xiaoyu, a big boss, a big star."

"Shhhh Mai Xiaoyu made an exaggerated gesture in front of his mouth, then pinched a piece of fried chicken and took a big bite, and said while eating: "It's the taste, it hasn't changed for more than ten years." Fragrant, so fragrant. ”

"Hurry up and leave after eating, don't delay my business."

"Don't think about your business tonight." Mai Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and pointed, "Look over there." ”

In front of Lao Zou's fried chicken stall, many people lined up to buy fried chicken.

There are two and a half children around him, and he shouldn't look like a Han Chinese.

One of them was pulling out a brand new mobile phone from the pocket of a young female customer in the queue.

Zou Tianming, who was in charge of collecting money, had sharp eyes and scolded loudly: "What are you doing!" If you don't learn well at a young age, you steal someone's mobile phone! ”

Only then did the young female owner realize that the mobile phone had been stolen, and grabbed one of the half-sized children: "That's my newly bought mobile phone, more than 3,000 yuan, return the mobile phone to me." ”

The people next to him also blamed.

"How old are you, you can't study hard and learn to steal."

"Give the phone back, apologize and go home, and don't steal anything again."

"Just apologize and it's over? Three thousand yuan is enough to file a case, and you must call the police! ”

"Forget it, give them a chance, they know it's wrong."

"yes, they're still kids......"

The voices of the crowd became smaller and smaller, and they subconsciously retreated, including the owner, who let go of the half-sized man who stole his mobile phone, and took a few steps back in panic.

Because the two and a half children didn't care at all, they took out two knives and faced everyone with a fierce face.

At this time, the Virgins who said "they also know that they are wrong", "they are still children", "give them a chance", collectively lost their voices and ran faster than anyone else, for fear that they would be affected.

"Damn, you're still turning the sky upside down!" Zou Tianming slapped the board and picked up two kitchen knives for cutting chicken pieces, "Little rabbit, try to move one, cut off the claws for you, and return the mobile phone to others!" ”

Looking at the kitchen knife in Zou Tianming's hand, and then at the knife in his hand, the two and a half looked at each other, and one of them dropped the mobile phone in his hand at the feet of the female owner.

Another person pointed at Zou Tianming angrily: "It's you again, you wait." ”

After saying that, the two of them ran away without looking back.

Zou Tianming snorted coldly, slammed twice, and two kitchen knives slashed on the board: "I'll wait!" I still don't believe it, thieves dare to be so rampant in these years."

"Tianming, don't dare to say that, they are not Han people."

"I remember that there were a few people selling cakes at the mouth of the alley, they wouldn't be in a group, would they?"

"That's not good. Ever since those few people who sold earth knife cakes came, there have been often such half-sized children hanging out on our street, and I have seen several of them. ”

"Lao Zou, your little Zou is in trouble, hurry up and close the stall, be careful when they come over to beat people and smash the stall."

"Why don't you call the police, the thief is too arrogant these days."

"The police can't control it, don't you see that people are not Han Chinese?"

……

The surrounding stall owners, and some customers are talking about you and me, Zou Datong used to kick his son's buttocks: "What a hero!" ”

Zou Tianming was unconvinced: "They are thieves!" ”

"As far as you know they're thieves? Did you see them stealing? ”

"Anyway, I can't ignore it when I see it!"

"Can you manage it? Even the owner of the family has run away, so you need to be nosy! ”

It's not just the female owner who has disappeared, and there are no customers left of Lao Zou's fried chicken...... No, there is another one, Mai Xiaoyu who is sitting there calmly eating fried chicken and drinking beer.

Zou Tianming was stunned.

"Let's call the police, or find the market management personnel, I'm worried that they will come to retaliate against Tianming......" It was Zou Datong's wife who spoke, her face panicked, and her voice was full of worry.

"If they can manage it, how can those thieves stay here for so long?" Zou Datong scolded his wife, and slapped his son on the head again: "How many times have I told you to be nosy and nosy, but I just don't listen, and I don't hurry up and go home." Old woman, look at how much money you have today, and give it all to them when the meeting comes. ”

"Old Zou, are you like this now?" Mai Xiaoyu snorted a cigarette and sneered.

"I'm just scared, what's the matter? Those people, our family was injured and disabled by them, and it is our bad luck, if we beat them to a bad place, we will have to be detained and have to pay money, won't I be cowardly! Why don't you talk about me much, don't you coward? Don't change your name! ”

Zou Datong's words caused others to sigh.

Someone sighed: "First-class foreigners, second-class officials, third-class and a few fourth-class men, these days, alas, ......"

Someone retorted: ", I'm still a Manchu, so I don't dare to mess with them." ”

Mai Xiaoyu beckoned to Zou Datong: "Old Zou, do you remember how we met?" ”
