Chapter 12: "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"

In the next few days, Zhou Xiaoxun followed Lin Qingqing to school, while Xu Jing followed Lin Jianguo to practice driving. Learning to drive was proposed by Xu Jing, who is accustomed to modern life, and Xu Jing, who is accustomed to modern life, understands very well what an important skill driving is, especially when Xu Jing plans to join the film industry, driving skills are essential, and they will always be used one day.

In the evening, Zhou Xiaoxun followed Lin Qingqing to learn Cantonese, for Zhou Xiaoxun, who has heard a lot of Cantonese songs, learning Cantonese is somewhat basic, compared with most northerners, the difficulty is at least an order of magnitude lighter. And Xu Jing is fluent in Cantonese, whether it was when he was wandering around in his previous life or when he followed Yang Laosan to the north and south in this life, he stopped in Yangcheng.

In the evenings, Xu Jing reads the magazines and newspapers borrowed from the Heung Kong Public Library, including all the fashion and entertainment magazines and newspapers in the past two years. Xu Jing has always been thinking about making movies, and if he wants to make a movie, the first thing to solve is the two problems of script and funding. There are countless film and television information stored in his mind, but it does not mean that he can always remember what he needs, just like a computer stores countless information, but if it is not found and then run, it will not be displayed on the monitor. And these magazines and newspapers are like keywords for retrieving materials, which can help Xu Jing quickly find the information he needs.

Xu Jing has never been a passive waiter, or in other words, since Xu Jing listened to Lin Jianguo, Zhao Xiaojun and others about the Xiangjiang film industry and his own understanding of the Xiangjiang film industry in his previous life, he has never relied on others to realize the idea of making movies, and Xu Jing can be said to be more familiar with Xiangjiang and the Xiangjiang entertainment industry than Lin Jianguo, Zhao Xiaojun and others. In this era, mainlanders and hillbillies, lazy, ignorant, and unruly are equated, which is the perception of Hong Kong society, and it is not something that some people in Hong Kong can reverse if they are willing to treat mainlanders equally.

For Zhao Xiaojun and others hope to realize his idea of making movies by running relationships, Xu Jing has no hope, how many people are waiting for a chance to get ahead in Xiangjiang, such as Zhou Yanfa, who is known as the god of acting, in order to fight for the opportunity to perform, he waits in front of the elevator door of TVB every day to greet the high-level who passes by, just to deepen the impression of the high-level on him; In this era when the Xiangjiang society is full of discrimination against mainlanders, Xu Jing, a mainlander who has just arrived in Xiangjiang, feels that he will not have a better chance of being appreciated than the locals.

Even if he can get a chance, Xu Jing will only be grateful and insensitive. When a person has mastered the energy that ordinary people cannot reach, he will look at things from a different angle, and his style of action will not be the same, just as a superpower's perspective on the world and a small country's perspective on the world can never be the same, a superpower can act according to its own will, while a small country can only be left and right under the will of a big country. There is no doubt that Xu Jing is such a person, a conceited person, how can such Xu Jing endure others calling him around with a posture of contempt and contempt?

"Xiaomi, why didn't you go to school today?" Zhou Xiaoxun has been enrolled in school for a week, but Xu Jing found that Zhou Xiaoxun did not go to school with Lin Qingqing today, but sat on the sofa and listened to the song, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"If I don't go, I won't go to school anymore. Zhou Xiaoxun looked unhappy.

"What's going on? Tell me. Xu Jing asked.

Zhou Xiaoxun didn't speak, just lowered his head and played with the walkman in his hand.

"Is it someone in the school who bullied you? Do you want me to teach you martial arts, if anyone bullies you, you will beat him so that his family will not recognize him. Xu Jing made a little joke.

"Poof, don't. Everyone in the class talked about me, calling me cousin, mainland girl, and other ugly things, and I hated them so much that I didn't want to go to school anymore. Zhou Xiaoxun was first amused, and then said aggrievedly.

Xu Jing understands that words such as 'cousin' and 'mainland sister' are contemptuous terms for women from the mainland in Xiangjiang, and contempt for men such as 'Ah Can', 'mainland boy', and 'Beiyan'.

"Xiaomi, do you think a very good person would care about the flies buzzing in his ears?" Regarding Zhou Xiaoxun's encounter, Xu Jing could have hired a tutor to teach Zhou Xiaoxun knowledge to avoid this question, but Xu Jing didn't want to deprive Zhou Xiaoxun of the campus experience he deserved, and sat next to Zhou Xiaoxun after pondering for a while and asked.

Zhou Xiaoxun shook his head.

"That's right, when one day you're good enough and others look at you brightly, then you won't care about the flies that used to buzz in your ears because they're so small. So, now do you want to be good enough or run away from those buzzing flies?" Xu Jing said.

"Then how can I become excellent?" Zhou Xiaoxun asked.

"You're good now, but it's not enough, so you still need to work hard to be better, understand?" Xu Jing said, holding Zhou Xiaoxun's shoulder.

"Okay, I listen to you, I must become better!" Zhou Xiaoxun was encouraged to stop running away, and packed his schoolbag to go to school.

"Xiaomi, do you remember what you said about making a movie with me?" Zhou Xiaoxun just walked to the door and was stopped by Xu Jing.

Zhou Xiaoxun looked back at Xu Jing and nodded.

"You study hard in school first, experience school life, and then we make movies together. ”

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoxun replied with a bright smile, and then turned to leave.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoxun's departing figure, Xu Jing also smiled, he had already thought about what movie to make.

"Act I:

- Let's get down to business.

This nasty dead fat man has always wanted to intervene in Mr. Huo's territory

You also know that Mr. Huo is a reasonable person

He just wanted to talk to each other

But this dead fat man just won't buy his account

I think he'll listen to you

He's here every Tuesday, are you available on Tuesday?

- Yes, I'm free on Tuesday

。。。。。。 ”

Xu Jing walked back to the room, took out a notebook from the drawer, and wrote on it.

When Xu Jing finished writing the last paragraph, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, turned back to the first page, and wrote down seven words in the top blank space.

"This killer is not too cold"!

In 1993, this film was written and directed by the famous French director Luc Besson, and it was his entry into Hollywood. The movie tells the love story of a professional killer and a little girl who crosses ages, composing a killer's fairy tale and touching countless people. The film has left a lot of marks in film history, and has long occupied high marks in the critics' circles, and the director and two protagonists of the film have entered Hollywood in one fell swoop, and the heroine Natalie Portman can even be said to be a god in World War I. The film's approach to filming has influenced countless later works.

Xu Jing likes this story very much, and there are many portrayals of his life since he and Zhou Xiaoxun met. Another reason for choosing it is that there are no big scenes in this film, which makes it easier for him, a rookie director who only has theory but no actual directing experience, to control the scenes.

Xu Jing closed the notebook and put it back in the drawer and locked it. The story of the script has been written, and as for the storyboard and storyboard, it can be pushed back, and the next thing to consider is the issue of funding. Xu Jing didn't rack his brains to think so much about it non-stop, but made a cup of tea, leaned on the sofa and drank it comfortably.

Xu Jing is not too worried about the filming funds, this is Xiangjiang, not the economically underdeveloped area in the mainland that is difficult to implement, Xu Jing has many ways to raise funds in Xiangjiang, the difference is whether it is legal, the time is short, and the means are simple, before Xu Jing thought more about what movie should be made. Now that the script is solved, Xu Jing doesn't care about taking some time to relax and unwind.

Drinking tea, Xu Jing casually picked up a magazine next to him and flipped it up.

This is an American magazine called "Vanity Fair", founded in 1913, and then stopped publishing for a long time due to the Great Depression, until 1981 before resuming publication.

This is the June 1987 issue of "Vanity Fair", and before Xu Jing opened it, Xu Jing saw a cover photo of a blonde holding a handsome young man on the cover. The young man on the cover is not not popular, he has been popular for decades, he is purple, and he is one of the four future kings of Hollywood, his name is Tom Cruise. On the cover is a wedding photo of Tom Cruise and his wife, Meimei Rogers, who got married in May 1987.

For Tom Cruise, Xu Jing has no reason not to know, although this person has been criticized for several failed marriages and his "Scientology" beliefs, but I have to admit that Tom Cruise has achieved the point where he can still guarantee the box office even if he is riddled with negative scandals, which is not amazing. Think about how he should be filming "Rain Man", which won four Oscars at the same time: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.

"Rain Man"!

Xu Jing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a brilliant way to raise funds.

At five o'clock, I was about to copy materials, and when I went out, I saw Zhou Xiaoxun munching on an ice cream Shi Ran walking over.

"Big Mai, where are you going?" Seeing Xu Jing, Zhou Xiaoxun shouted and trotted over to follow.

"Buy something. Why did you come back alone?Qingqing?" Xu Jing asked.

"Every time I come back from school, I come back alone, Qingqing goes to play with friends every day after school, and comes back late. Lin Qingqing is two years older than Zhou Xiaoxun, but Zhou Xiaoxun never called her 'Sister Qingqing', in her words, "Calling Sister Qingqing doesn't mean I'm very small?" Because the relationship between the two of them is not bad, Lin Qingqing tutors Zhou Xiaoxun to learn Cantonese and textbook knowledge every night, and Xu Jing does not accuse her of 'impolite behavior'.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoxun called Zhao Xiaojun and others by name with Xu Jing, and got along with them generously, quite a brother, Zhao Xiaojun and others also liked her very much.

"Oh. Then you have to be careful when you're alone after school. Xu Jing didn't think much about it, and then asked, "Uncle Lin gave you pocket money to buy snacks again?"

"Yes, it's delicious, 10,000 times better than the popsicles I used to eat! Zhou Xiaoxun said and handed the ice cream in his hand to Xu Jing's mouth.

"Well, that's good. Eat the rest. Xu Jing took a small bite and said, and wiped the remaining cream on the corner of Zhou Xiaoxun's mouth.

At dinner in the evening, Xu Jing unusually kept sandwiching meat for Zhou Xiaoxun, which was an unprecedented move, which made Lin Jianguo, Lin Qingqing and others feel extremely surprised, but Zhou Xiaoxun felt sweet in his heart.
