226. Chapter 65

"Exile" finally ended with a box office of 50 million, and the loss could not be lost. Ben said that it would be released for two months, but it was finally removed from the shelves ahead of schedule due to the dismal box office, looking at the final statistics, Cui Qi was speechless. Although he was mentally prepared to lose money, he still felt a little incompetent when he came out and found that the final result was far from what he expected.

"It's common to make money and lose money when investing," so many investments turned out to be unable to even return to the capital, Cui Qi couldn't help it, but Ye Fan came to comfort him, he was also distressed at the moment after soaking in water for 50 million, but when he invested for hobbies and friends, he had long expected to lose money, and at this time, he could only comfort himself that the old one would not go and the new one would not come. Psychological construction has been done for a long time, and just when Ye Fan accepted the failure of the film's loss-making investment, things suddenly took a big turn.

"Exile" was selected as the "Characteristic Textbook Series of the Department of History of Colleges and Universities", officially recognized, there is no doubt that the stamp and seal are undoubted, this development can see the eyes of the masses of all parties out of the frame, Rao is Cui Qi, and I didn't expect that there would be such a development, and then good luck seems to follow, and "Exile" was shortlisted for the Marseille International Documentary Film Festival. A month after it was taken off the shelves, forced by the audience's thirst, "Exile" once again entered major movie theaters.

"What's the situation?" More than one person was asking, the development of things was too unexpected, and Cui Qi couldn't figure it out, but soon, he knew the whole story. I have to talk about Professor Shi, Cui Qi's little story gave Professor Shi some inspiration, rummaging through historical materials After two years of research and analysis, Professor Shi published a research paper on the Tang Dynasty last year, which is quite significant The top level of the history academic community held a meeting, but coincidentally, during the screening period of "Exile", Professor Shi made a recommendation, and the professors organized a group to watch the movie, and the evaluation was quite high after watching itOne of the "Characteristic Textbook Series of History Department of Colleges and Universities".

Knowing that Cui Qi had prepared a gift to thank Professor Shi, he didn't want Professor Shi to look at him with a black face, so he asked him earnestly, "Do you really plan to go back to school in the future?" "After watching "Exile", the film history professor was heartbroken, why did a good student want to act?

I don't want this sentence to ask Cui Qi's heart. When he was filming "Exile", he had this feeling and lacked knowledge. Relying on memory, it is obviously not clear that there is no detail, the specific clothing and living utensils all rely on history books, he has not touched history books for many years, Ye Fan will answer his phone twice in three days when he asks for help from outside the field. At this time, listening to Professor Shi mention the stubble of reading, Cui Qi was nostalgic, there were too many things and too many distractions, and there were too many influences, so he resolutely gave up and never looked back, but now, after going around in a circle, he suddenly wanted to go back to school.

After the second release, the box office of "Exile" stopped at 200 million, a result worth celebrating, Cui Qi was smiling for a few days, and he even smiled and said hello in the face of a few entertainment notes who filmed him, and he couldn't help but look at the sky, cloudy, the sun didn't hit the west, is Xiaoguang okay?

Cui Qi is quite problematic, after the success of "Exile", he resolutely gave himself a vacation, at the age of thirty-four, Cui Qi returned to school, and everyone was confused, and no one could guess what he wanted to do.

"Xiaoguang, what did you think at the time? Thirty-four, back to school? Don't you feel like you're past the age of school? ”

"When I have something on my mind, I want to live for myself once, and the life I fantasized about at that time was probably like this: I had a favorite script to make a movie, and when I didn't make a movie, I usually read and go to class, cultivate one or two hobbies, and most importantly, take my daughter," Cui Qi smiled at Lilia who was sitting in the audience, and continued: "At that time, I actually regretted not continuing the university. And when my college professor asked me if I really didn't want to continue studying, it was like a voice in my heart was saying that I wanted to go back to school. ”

"Then Xiaoguang, you finally chose the Chinese Department of National Normal University, why is that?"

As soon as he said this, Cui touched his nose in a slurful manner, and was very embarrassed: "I didn't get into the ......"

"I didn't get in...... Didn't get into the history department? ”

Cui Qi nodded, a little depressed: "I took the exam for two years, I didn't enter the first year, and the second year was a ...... adjustment" When the results came out, Professor Shi was so angry that he jumped to his feet, his fingers trembled and pointed at this unreliable goods, he couldn't hold back his words, he was so admitted that he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Xiaoguang, I remember that you entered the college entrance examination independently, right? What is the specialty of the Department of History? ”

"I haven't read books for many years, and I've forgotten a lot of knowledge, plus I have a math ...... I'm really good at math......" Cui Qi laughed when he said math, and laughed helplessly.

"Over the years, Xiaoguang, your life should be quite colorful, the previous Go tournament also went to commentate, and the Internet was asking what was going on, can you tell everyone?"

"Hobbies, I like Go."

"Amateur five-dan? This is already very, very powerful," the moderator added.

"I think it's very necessary to give yourself a little space for your hobbies in addition to my own job," Cui Qi leaned back in his chair, "I like my life now." ”

"Xiaoguang, you haven't made a few movies in the past few years, your exposure has gradually decreased, and your popularity has declined sharply, do you feel sorry for this?"

"Breathe a sigh of relief, I don't really like to expose my private life to the camera, acting is work, but life is my personal space, and I don't welcome personal space to be invaded by the camera...... I'm quite happy with the status quo......"

"Will there ever be envy? For example, envy other celebrities...... Like some small fresh meat now...... High popularity, lots of fans, etc.? ”

"They can't be more than me," Cui Qite said confidently: "Do I still need to look at fans and popularity?" Compared with Xiao Xianrou, he simply looked down on him, Cui Qi smiled and looked at the host silently.

"Xiaoguang, you have a movie in the past two or three years in the past few years, and the output is very low......"

"I think it's just right," Cui Qi interrupted the host's words this time: "Work, study and life can just maintain a balance, and the movie is not more but quality, choose the film according to your own preferences, I am very satisfied with the current state." This is the third time that Cui Qi has said that he is satisfied with his current life, and he is a little dissatisfied with the host's problems, he prefers to talk about his new movie, and he shows a show-off tone for the new role, which makes the audience miss it very much...... In the past few years, Cui Qi has always taken on some unreasonable plays, and the audience is confused.

"Xiaoguang plays a philistine businessman this time, and the audience is talking about being fat and ugly, why did you choose such a role?"

"I want to try something new," Cui Qi is actually quite satisfied with this role, subverting the previous image, although it is not very well received by the audience. In the past two years, he has been comfortable and freewheeling, taking movies without watching the director and looking at his preferences, never caring what the audience thinks, not to mention that with his current status, there is no need to rely on the fan effect to increase popularity.

"Xiaoguang, what do you think of the road you have traveled in the past ten years?"

At the end of the show, the host asked him, but Cui Qi smiled and said that he was old, he was probably one of the few actors, and he especially liked to mention himself as an "old" actor, and the audience was speechless.

"It's really old," seeing the host's disbelieving eyes, Cui Qi repeated: "They used to call me Xiaoguang, then they called me Brother Guang, and now they all call me Uncle Guang," he smiled: "I'm really old, I've become an uncle......"

Seeing Cui Qi say, the host couldn't help but ridicule: "Xiaoguang, you are not old, you can play a teenager!" ”

"I can't act anymore," Cui Qi shook his head: "My posture and tone can imitate a teenager, but my wrinkles, my eyes are no longer teenagers, these are facts that makeup can't hide, after so many years, I sometimes think back, what happened in the past, a lot, time will always talk about memories, what I have learned now is to accept, accept and then change the future." ”
