Chapter Eighty-Seven: Two Phone Calls
"Big barley, my parents can't come. Seeing Xu Jing getting out of the car, Zhou Xiaoxun looked at him with a sluggish voice.
"Can't come? Why?" Xu Jing was a little stunned for a while, knowing that as early as two months ago, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother had already applied for the relevant procedures to prepare for going to Hong Kong, but they couldn't come here, and they didn't know what the situation was.
"I don't know, my parents didn't tell me. Zhou Xiaoxun said gloomily.
Could it be that he has encountered some difficulties? Xu Jing frowned, secretly thinking that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also took good care of him when he was in Qushi, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.
After entering the house, Xu Jing picked up the phone and contacted Zhou's father to ask himself, only to learn the reason, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother did encounter some problems, but the problem was not in themselves, but in the exit procedures.
After the signing of the "Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong" with the United Kingdom, the ties between Hong Kong and the mainland have also become closer, and the issue of entry and exit between Hong Kong and the mainland has been relaxed a lot.
However, with the more and more contact between the country and the outside world, people in China consciously or unintentionally accept the violent impact of Western culture, so that many people are full of yearning for the outside world, as if they have gone out to heaven, especially in the city, under this trend of thought, countless capable or connected people have tried their best to go out, and even do not hesitate to use all means to stay outside.
In the 80s, there was a sensational incident of well-known sports champions leaving the team to apply for refuge in the United States in order to stay in the United States when they competed abroad, which caused an unusually serious diplomatic incident, and then the exit visa was naturally tightened a lot.
Zhou Xiaoxun came to Xiangjiang by Lin Jianguo through the relationship of Yanjing, but Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are unknown in Qushi, and it is naturally not so easy to pass the examination.
Listening to Zhou's father's explanation, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, after all, Chinese society still talks a lot about human feelings, and does not have enough influence.
"Uncle Zhou, otherwise I'll ask my uncle to go back and take you to Xiangjiang by other means. Xu Jing held the earpiece, thought for a moment, and said.
"Don't, don't, Xiao Jing, don't be so troublesome, Xiao Xun is good over there, we can rest assured, and it's nothing if we can't go to Xiangjiang." Father Zhou hurriedly stopped, they were originally their own people, and let Lin Jianguo take Zhou Xiaoxun to the 'paradise' that countless people yearn for, which is no longer envied by many people, at this time, how can he want to trouble Lin Jianguo to run for the two of them again?
"That... Okay, I'll take Xiaomi back to see you guys when I'm done with this. Xu Jing naturally could hear the longing for his daughter in Zhou's father's words, but they were unwilling to seek to come to Hong Kong again, and they were reluctant to come, so they had to comfort him.
"Okay, okay, hehe. I haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and I heard that my daughter was coming back, Zhou's father on the other side of the phone suppressed his emotions and nodded quickly.
Putting down the phone, Xu Jing exhaled, turned to look at Zhou Xiaoxun on the side, and assured her earlier that Zhou's father and mother could come to Hong Kong, but I didn't want to be a shadow at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and I didn't know what to say for a while, Zhou Xiaoxun looked at him and blinked, but he didn't speak, and the two looked at each other like this.
"Frightened... Hehehe... After a while, Zhou Xiaoxun suddenly laughed, in her eyes, Xu Jing was so powerful and powerful, and she naturally believed in his words, but at this moment, when she saw him with a helpless look, she had already put aside her original low mood.
“。。。 Looking at Zhou Xiaoxun, who was heartless and stupid, Xu Jing pursed his lips, a little speechless, and raised his hand towards her head.
.
By the time the clock hand pointed to one o'clock in the morning, the night sky of Xiangjiang was much darker, and the still verdant groves rustled in the gust of sea breeze, but the night seemed quieter.
Xu Jing closed the "Essays on Soviet Film Music" in his hand, approached the window, and the faint moonlight sprinkled out, making the world outside the window permeated in a hazy color, and everything seemed peaceful and peaceful. After watching quietly for a while, Xu Jing closed the curtains.
"Jingle Bell"
Just as he was about to turn off the lights and fall asleep, the big brother who was placed in the brick style at the head of the bed suddenly rang, Xu Jing raised his eyebrows, and was surprised, these three watches in the middle of the night, I don't know who will call at this time.
"Hi, Xu, good evening, I don't know what time it is over there, shouldn't it disturb you to sleep?"
Xu Jing approached the bedside, picked up the phone, and before he could speak, a series of familiar New York-accented American English came from the earpiece, which was the voice of the bearded Kubrick.
"Good evening, em... I think I should say good afternoon to you, Mr. Kubrick. Xu Jing raised his hand and looked at his watch and said.
"Hahaha, yes, I'm skiing back with a couple of old friends. Kubrick said on the other end of the line.
"It must be funny, you know, even in the movies, it never snowed in Xiangjiang. Xu Jing said.
"Haha, it's a good idea, let the Xiangjiang be covered with snow, let the Sahara be flooded with torrential rain, the movie needs to be so imaginative. Kubrick laughed.
"Well, I think there will definitely be such a movie in the future. Xu Jing replied.
"Hehe, maybe. Kubrick said: "I called you this time to ask you how the movie you have been preparing for several months is doing, and I know that the speed at which Xiangjiang makes movies is one of the great wonders of the world." ”
"It's in the process of filming, and it will probably take more than a month to complete. Xu Jing said: "I have to say, if it weren't for your lens, I think my months of preparation would have been in vain." ”
"Well, it's a pleasure to help. Kubrick smiled happily and continued, "By the way, Xu, the Berlin Film Festival will open next month, do you want to take your film to it?"
