Chapter 145: Unfinished
Yellowstone, late.
"Shen Lin, have you ever thought about breaking up with me?"
"How do you have that thought?"
Shen Lin looked at his daughter-in-law a little strangely, she had just experienced a sport, and the blush had not dissipated, and we still wanted to have another wave!
Wouldn't it be inappropriate to say this at this time?
"A lot of people think we're not a good fit..."
"A lot of people?who?"
"Sister Xu, and your honey sister!"
“… Cough... You know all about it?"
Shen Lin coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Xu Jinglei communicated with Shen Lin at the beginning, thinking that he and Zhao Liying's three views were different, and the probability of being able to walk together was very low, as for Yang Mi, she initially thought that Shen Lin and Zhao Liying were together just to take revenge on her!
“… Of course I do!"
"Do you think we're the right fit?"
"What do you say?"
"Hehe, I think the biggest luck in my life is to meet you!"
“… Me too..."
"Don't cry, no, when did you become so sentimental?"
Shen Lin hurriedly got up and found the paper and handed it to his daughter-in-law, who cried and said, "Shen Lin, I... I'm pregnant..."
"If you're pregnant, you're pregnant, what are you crying about... Walter: You're pregnant?"
"Hmm... It's been almost two months!"
Two months, that is, in November last year, happened to be just before the release of "Touching the Golden Captain"... What am I thinking?
"When did you find out?"
"Well, it was last month, when I was filming a scene that day, I suddenly felt nauseous..."
"You can really do it, it's been a month, and you just told me!"
"Am I not afraid that you will be worried?"
“… You're pregnant, and you just fly to Africa to see me?"
"I miss you..."
"You..."
Shen Lin was almost speechless, but fortunately, he still remembered the sentence, 'Don't fight with pregnant women, you are not an opponent!'
Nima, all newbies, no experience in this area!
"Tomorrow we go back to China, did you tell your mother... No, I called my mom and told me. ”
It took a long time for Shen Lin to react normally, and then took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.
"Don't, I want to play with you for two days!"
"Playing with you... You're pregnant now, be honest with me!"
Shen Lin suddenly thought that he had asked Li Ying to pose in various poses just now, and he was really afraid!
“… It's okay, I asked the doctor, and they said it would be fine in three months!"
"Come on, let's ask someone with experience about this!"
While speaking, Shen Lin turned on the phone, and then a bunch of information was stuffed over, Shen Lin didn't see it, and dialed his mother's phone.
"Hey, Mom, don't worry, I'll tell you something. ”
Shen's mother complained all the time, saying that he had been cheated, and a bunch of reporters ran to their house to harass them.
"Liying is pregnant..."
"No, she's just found out..."
"Tomorrow, we'll go home tomorrow... You must not go to pick up the airport..."
Then, Shen Lin was told a bunch of precautions.
It was easy to hang up the phone, and Shen Lin was a little confused.
Nima, Mom seems to be more excited than him!
And Zhao's mother also wants to talk about it.
Zhao's mother's performance was as good as Shen's mother, and Shen Lin, who was shocked, really wanted to lose her phone!
"Alright, let's go back tomorrow!"
Half an hour later, Shen Lin hung up the phone and turned his head to look at Li Ying, who was watching TV with nothing to do.
"Oh!"
"Oh, that's it, can you stop being so casual in the future?"
"How can I be casual, by the way, I finished filming "The Legend of Minglan", and there is no scene for the time being..."
"Do you still want to take over the show? stay honest with me, take care of the baby!"
Of course, Shen Lin knew that many pregnant women went to work as usual, crowded the bus, and worked overtime, but it was someone else, and his daughter-in-law definitely couldn't do this!
"I don't want to take over the show, don't worry, I will treat our son well!"
"How do you know it's a son?"
"It must be a son, how can a daughter be so honest and stay there without talking!"
“…”
Well, you have a point!
Shen Lin sat down, took an apple from the bedside table, and peeled it.
"Shen Lin, do you know that Tong Liya gave birth to a daughter?"
Li Ying took the apple that Shen Lin handed over and cut, as if she had thought of something.
“… I know, we didn't talk about this before!"
Shen Lin paused his hand, and then continued to maintain his previous movements.
“… But she told me that the boy was yours!"
“… She's lying to you, I've checked it myself, that kid can't be mine!"
"Why?"
"The time is not right, and besides, can we not talk about this topic?"
Shen Lin was a little embarrassed, discussing the affair with his daughter-in-law, it was really aggrieved, especially a pregnant woman!
"No, I have to figure it out, otherwise I don't know if I'm a cuckold!"
“… Okay, when you return to China, you contact her, and we can meet together, okay?"
"Hmph, that's pretty much it!"
……
17 years later, there is good news and bad news from the Chinese mainland film market. The good news is that the annual box office has exceeded the 50 billion mark, and the film market is still growing, but the bad news is that this figure is far from the 60 billion box office forecast at the beginning of the year.
If the Chinese mainland film market in 2015 was a wonderful fairy tale, almost everyone in the industry believed that 2016 would be a magnificent myth, and two months later, Stephen Chow's New Year comedy "Mermaid", which had a wild volume of 3 billion, confirmed this vision. However, Mermaid is the beginning and the end of the myth. In the next 10 months, many "myths" of Chinese films were shattered one by one.
Even if "Chinatown Veterans 2" created a box office success of 2.6 billion, and "Captain Touching Gold" created a new box office record of 4.4 billion, it still can't change the overall downward trend in 2016!
First, there has been a string of failures in the myth of guaranteed issuance;
Xiao Xianrou represents Wu Yifan's two youth films "To Youth: So You Are Still Here" and "Xia Youqiao Mu Yawang Heaven" both have a minimum of 400 million, but the super popularity has not been converted into corresponding feedback, the former is 337 million, and the latter is only 152 million.
This is not the worst, the former Hong Kong film tycoon Xiang Huaqiang reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and the "Legend of the Gods", which was praised by the stars, was guaranteed by Bona for 1 billion, and in the end it was only exchanged for 184 million, and was also crowned as the king of bad movies, making the king's face disappear, Bona After this defeat, he quickly postponed Er Dongsheng's new work "The Sword of the Third Young Master", which was originally scheduled to be released in the summer, to December, which is useless, "The Sword of the Third Young Master" has a terrible low reputation, and the box office is also worth more than 100 million, which is deserved, but compared to "Legend of the Gods", "The Sword of the Third Young Master" is not so miserable!
It can be said that in 2016, the glorious image of "guaranteed issuance" was completely ruined and an embarrassing face was revealed.
On the other hand, the myth of IP is revealed;
Continue to take "To Youth: So You Are Still Here" and "Xia Youqiao Mu Yawang Heaven" as examples, both of which have the same name, especially the former, which is the sequel to "To Youth", but unfortunately, neither the quality nor the box office received the same treatment!
Under the premise that the screenwriter, director and production standards are generally inferior, blindly hoping to attract the audience with well-known IP, even if it has a temporary effect, it will inevitably not stand the test!
In the end, the myth of the famous director came to an abrupt end;
The "Guo Xiaosi Myth", which lasted for 3 years, came to an abrupt end in 2016.
From 2013 to 2015, this crossover director rookie won nearly 1.3 billion at the box office with the "Small Times" series. Although the values and expressions of his works have caused strong controversy, the capital market and film industry bigwigs regard him as a marketing god who turns stones into gold, and they are convinced of the huge profit space caused by its fan effect.
Fans who fanatically praised "Little Times" did not pour the same attention on "Jue Ji", and the film finally ended hastily with a box office of 230 million, so that Guo Xiaosi, who has always been arrogant, even said, "Is it only when I die, you won't scold "Jue Ji", and the pressure and frustration he is under can be seen.
Feng Xiaogang's "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" and Wang Jiawei's "The Ferryman" did not receive the expected results.
Times have changed, but these people have not changed...
Yes and only Shen Lin still continued his consistent level.
The works that have been selling for 16 years have his imprint.
"Touching the Golden Captain" is a work directed by him;
"The Mermaid" is his released work;
"Chinatown Veteran 2", he served as the screenwriter and producer.
It can be said that Shen Lin alone has carried half of the domestic films!
……
"Zhao Liying's lower abdomen is slightly convex, and she is suspected of being pregnant!"
"The second generation of the best star is about to be born..."
In the era of self-media, nothing can escape the eyes of the media.
Shen Lin returned to China from the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2", and then stayed at home, while Zhao Liying stayed at home, occasionally going out for a walk, just like that, it can be seen that Zhao Liying is pregnant!
Nima, haven't you arrived for three months?
"Husband, are you going to the United States tomorrow for the Oscars?"
“… After all, I got the nomination, and Bill said that it is very likely to win the best director this time, and I still want to go to the scene to see it. ”
"Then I'll accompany you!"
“… No, Oscar is close to three hours, and it's not good for you to get up and sit down all the time as a pregnant woman..."
"But what if you win a prize and I'm not watching you from the audience?"
"I'm still afraid that something will happen to you..."
"Don't worry, what can happen to me?"
"Then let's not tell our parents, let's go secretly, right?"
"But, Mom will come to see me tomorrow morning..."
“… Let's go now..."
"Now?"
"Are you afraid I'll sell you?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid of you?"
"Shall you go?"
"Let's go..."
