Chapter 436 Vacation - Meet Christina's Family!

Because of a series of promotional activities, as well as reports from various TV stations, and the reputation of "V Vendtle" is very good.

In the next few days, the box office trend has been very good, and the average daily box office has remained at about 15 million for half a month after its release.

"V-Word Vendetta", which has exceeded 200 million box office, has reached Zhou Shaoming's expectations.

As for David and Jon and others, they can't believe this result, as a debut film, the box office results are really surprising.

And now it has only been released for half a month, if there is no accident, the box office of this movie will smoothly exceed 300 million.

Such an achievement may not be very scary, but as a rookie director, and not a big-budget film that is biased towards literature and art, it is absolutely terrifying to have this achievement.

"This is a very thoughtful and connotative film, which is worth savoring, and the moral is as we can see, with deep fear in our hearts, being controlled, and hatred suppressed. What people need is just a fuse, just like the moment a firework explodes, it needs to be ignited with huge energy. Everyone lives cautiously with their own masks, and over time they forget themselves under that mask. Actually, you are angry, you remember the reasons, you remember all your experiences, you remember everything you see. But you succumb to reality, you let all existence create what you forced yourself to imagine, "V Vendtle" tells us to know how to resist, know how to fight, actions can not resist, but thoughts must not give in. -- Davis, a special commentator for the New York Times, said.

Coincidentally, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles daily newspaper also wrote: "The body is immortal, the mind is immortal, and the firmness of faith is something that cannot be shaken by any immediate happiness and comfort." Even if a person continues alone and does not expect to understand. Not delusional to be forgiven, like an eternal mask. From the beginning to the end, where there is a need for hope, there are people who fight with faith. However, we are all ordinary people, we have too much fear and too little courage. Hiding in an imperfect environment in fear, greedy for short-term comfort, for a quiet life. Maybe one day when the government is corrupt, when the system is rotten, there will be a V! V is not a person, but a spirit. ”

The comments about "V for Vendetta" are extreme, and good people can't wait to watch it ten times, and each time they will have their own gains.

Bad reviewers think it's a corny and jealous boring movie.

Of course, on the whole, there are still many people with good reviews, and it is precisely for this reason that the box office performance of "V Vendtle" is extremely stable. Even twenty days after its release, it can still maintain a box office income of three million yuan per day.

In the end, "V-Word Vendetta" achieved a total box office result of 340 million, which is better than "Untouchable". But you must know that "V Vendendtle" was not released worldwide, only in North America, this achievement is absolutely terrifying.

The first film achieved such good results, and David's excitement can be imagined. And Jim Carrey and Natalie also received a lot of dividends.

Because the previous "Untouchable" was filmed for several months, it was very busy and busy, ignoring Christina. Zhou Shaoming felt very guilty in his heart, plus Christine's recent events were not much, and Jon's control in the company was very stable.

So Zhou Shaoming thought about taking her on vacation, and finally discussed going back to see Christina's family!

Zhou Shaoming was reluctant at first, after all, he was going to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so suddenly, it was fake not to be nervous, but in the end, he couldn't stand Christine's coquettishness and agreed!

Along the picturesque boulevard, Zhou Shaoming drove a Ferrari and drove on the road with a happy Christina.

"Oh, dear. Are you nervous about meeting my mom and dad soon? Christina smiled skillfully and looked at Zhou Shaoming, who was always checking her appearance.

"There is an old Chinese saying that an ugly daughter-in-law must always see her in-laws. I feel like I'm the ugly daughter-in-law now, and I'm really a little nervous! Zhou Shaoming was a little handsome and slightly red when Christina smiled.

"HOHO~ Director Smith Chow is also scared? That's not your style! Christina quipped, excited to see her dearest parents.

"Hey, hey, don't say it, your father's farm is really big enough!" Zhou Shaoming laughed awkwardly, looking at the sparkling and poetic lake, half surprised, half diverted the topic and said.

"Well, my family's farm is 160 acres (about 960 acres), 80 acres are all well-protected forests, and there are three 4-acre lakes and two small ponds. What you see here is one of the lakes! Christina said proudly.

It's August, and the sunshine is making the plants grow wildly, wildflowers are burning all over the lake, and the tall and stout oak trees on the roadside are at least a hundred years old, making everything a paradise idyllic.

"Hey, baby, what are these?" Zhou Shaoming slowed down the speed of the car and looked curiously at the red, very attractive little wild fruits by the lake.

"It's a raspberry, a wild fruit that can be eaten, it has a sweet and sour taste, and I used to pick and eat it when I was on the farm! Stop and I'll pick a few for you. Christina's eyes bent into crescents, and she ran down without waiting for Zhou Shaoming to stop the car.

The pink clothes lined her like a rose in the wind, her golden hair danced softly with the warm wind, shining with a charming luster in the baptism of the sun, and her delicate but moving graceful figure swept through the raspberry bushes by the lake, and her moving face eclipsed the brilliant wildflowers.

Looking at this flawless elf like a fallen world, Zhou Shaoming's mind was completely attracted by the gold in front of him, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all, so he watched obsessively and fascinated, until she turned around and came to her side with a large handful of raspberries in her hand.

Carefully washed with water, Christina fed Zhou Shaoming one by one.

"Oh God, it tastes really good!" In fact, Zhou Shaoming felt a little sour, but he still pretended to be delicious to make Christina happy.

"Haha. I'm not wrong! Christina said triumphantly, then pointed to the house in front of her and exclaimed, "Here it is, that's my home!" ”

Hearing the sound of the car, an old man hurried out and stood on the porch looking forward to it, it was the father of Christina who had been informed a long time ago.

As soon as she got out of the car, Christina flew out happily like a bird out of a cage, carrying the tall man with gray hair. Just won't let go.

Zhou Shaoming also got out of the car and walked in front of the old man with a lot of gifts, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Honey, this is my dad, you can just call him Loken." Christina took her father's hand and introduced it to Zhou Shaoming, who was a little overwhelmed, with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Lorcan, hello, I'm Smith Chow. It's a little bit of caution on my part. Zhou Shaoming hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Luo Ken. Then take out the gift that you have carefully prepared.

"Haha, you're welcome, come on, come on, please come in." Lorcan smiled heartily. looked at Zhou Shaoming, who was a good match for his beloved daughter, with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and then invited him into the house.

Inside, Lorcan poured his coffee. talked with Zhou Shaoming, and now Director Smith Zhou's fame has already shocked the whole United States, in the heart of the father who hopes that his daughter will have a good home. Naturally, Zhou Shaoming, who is humble and kind, and dotes on Christina, and has no machismo at all, is very satisfied.

And when Lorcan was younger, he was also an actor, and now lives in a calm and serene farm, writing his own novels. It can be said that this is an old man with deep thoughts and knowledge.

"I've seen all your movies, and my favorite ones are "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" and "Untouchable", both of which have extremely touching power, young man, you did a good job!" Lorcan smiled and haze.

"Oh, you've won the award, movies are my dream, I just hope to bring more and better works to the big screen, so that more people can solve my movie world. I'm sorry to visit you for so long. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's normal for young people to be busy with work, let alone a big director like you!"

When it came to the topics he was best at, Zhou Shaoming was no longer restrained, and he and Luo Ken talked lightly, and the two chatted happily for a while, completely forgetful.

"Mommy, Mommy!" Christina chatted for a while, then ran to the kitchen, where her mother was cooking dinner.

"Baby, is he here?" Mother first hugged Christina and kissed her, then looked into the living room and asked expectantly.

"He's here, he's talking to his dad, and it looks like they're in good shape." Christina put her arms around her mother's neck and said happily.

"Oh, that's good, knowing you're coming, your dad is so happy that he hasn't slept well for several nights. Let's go to the living room and sit down, dinner will be ready in no time. ”

"Okay!"

The national phenomenon-level director finally came to the door like a hairy son-in-law, and this news blew up almost all of Christina's relatives, and they came to the door one after another, wanting to see this sensational Chinese in the United States with their own eyes.

Overwhelmed, Zhou Shaoming only had this kind of sigh in his heart, there were more than 20 relatives of Christina, and they didn't even get a full meal after the bombardment.

When everyone shaved their teeth with satisfaction, and finally asked the questions they were interested in, and gave unanimous praise to Zhou Shaoming, Zhou Shaoming rubbed his face that was about to stiffen with a smile, poured a few sips of hot coffee, and filled his hungry stomach.

"Uncle Smith......" Christina's cousin, a little girl who was only seven or eight years old, stood in front of Zhou Shaoming with a doll in her arms, staring at her big bright eyes, and shouted hesitantly.

"Oh, Maria, what's the matter?" Zhou Shaoming hurriedly showed an approachable smile and touched the little girl's pink carved jade face.

"In the past, Sister Christina had promised me to take me to Ocean Park. As a result, my dad told me that she was captured by you, so now that you have finally sent her back, can you make my wish come true? Maria asked, wrinkling her nose cutely.

"Ocean Park? Why don't you go to see a dolphin show? Zhou Shaoming smiled dumbly, how did he become the big demon king in the little girl's mouth, and he also captured Christina?

That's really ...... Speechless.

"Yes, yes, just to see the dolphin show. My sister promised me that tomorrow is Saturday, I don't have to go to class, can you take me there? Maria said happily. The pale blue eyes were full of longing.

"What's wrong with that? I'll take you, I'll take you with Sister Christina, okay? Zhou Shaoming laughed.

It's just a small wish, and I blame myself for not having much chance to spend time with her family since she kidnapped Christina, and now taking Maria to Ocean Park is also a compensation.

"Thank you, Mr. Smith, I'm so happy!" The innocent children always can't hide their hearts, and Maria heard Zhou Shaoming's promise. Immediately he jumped up happily, and then shouted and told everyone excitedly.

The next day, Zhou Shaoming fulfilled his promise and brought Maria and Christina to Ocean Park to satisfy the fun-loving nature of the big girls and the little girls.

Christina's farm was a little far from the city, and by the time we arrived at Ocean Park, it was close to noon and the sun was high in the sky. It's a bit sullen.

"Honey, let's take Maria to dinner first, it's two hours before the dolphin show." Wearing oversized sunglasses, Christina looked at the marine park description in her hand, and then put her hand on the pergola. Blocking the direct rays of the sun, he looked at Zhou Shaoming and said.

"OK, it's a little hot, let's wait while we eat." Give Maria another ice cream! Zhou Shaoming hugged the happy Maria. Walk into Ocean Park, a restaurant in typical American style.

This steakhouse is beautifully decorated, with old-fashioned and elegant continental furniture. The lights are bright but not dazzling, and when you enter the door, the walls are full of photos of various marine creatures.

The store was full of happy scenes of a family of three, and there were already many people dining here, and Zhou Shaoming and the three of them were silent, walking through it in a low-key manner, and found a corner seat to sit down.

"Hey, welcome to Ocean Park Steakhouse! Craving something? Our specialties here are tenderloin steak and flame steak, which are family heirlooms from our boss! As soon as he sat down, the diligent waiter trotted all the way over, and the mouth like a machine gun fired at Zhou Shaoming and the others.

"Oh, a family craft? Now you're in for a treat! Christina smiled, looked at the menu and said, "Flame steak, potato salad and fried foie gras!" ”

"I want ice cream, I want chocolate ice cream!" Maria sat in her chair, twisted her body, and said as she held the doll that she refused to let go of for a moment.

"Okay, man, let's get a cup of ice cream, our little princess is going to be hungry!" Zhou Shaoming also smiled and ordered a few dishes casually.

Onion soup, roasted mandarin fish, roasted snails, mustard steak, flaming steak and pan-fried foie gras with green pepper, plus a bunch of juices and a large chocolate ice cream, quickly filled the table.

"Try it, and see how great this ancestral craft is!" Christina picked up a tissue, wiped her mouth for Maria, who was eating ice cream greedily, and then said to Zhou Shaoming.

Zhou Shaoming thanked him, picked up the knife and fork, and looked at the fried foie gras that looked good.

Putting it in his mouth, Zhou Shaoming was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, God, this is the best fried foie gras I've ever tasted, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the heat is just right." It is said that the traditional habit of frying foie gras is "sour", but here it suits my Chinese taste, adding sugar to make it taste more acceptable! ”

The waiter who brought the flaming steak to the table listened and said happily: "You can dip some green pepper sauce in it, and the tender foie gras in it is really enjoyable!" ”

According to what he said, Zhou Shaoming tasted it, and it really tasted better!

And Christina shrank to the side, watching the waiter pour a glass of white wine on the steak, and then put it on fire, and suddenly the steak burst into flames, which is very distinctive.

"Oh! That's a good trick, it's fun! Christina shrank behind Zhou Shaoming, watched the steak sizzle in the flames, and said with great interest.

"This dish is my signature here! Every guest loves to eat! The waiter was very proud, shaking his head and introduced.

"Wow, it tastes great!" Zhou Shaoming didn't wait for the flames to disappear, he cut a piece first, stuffed it into his mouth, and didn't care about the oil rising from the corners of his mouth, so his eyes lit up.

"Really? I'll try it too! Christina was also a little greedy, and hurriedly picked up her knife and fork.

Just as Zhou Shaoming and the three of them were happily eating steak and drinking drinks, the guests at the table behind them made a very unsightly sound.

"Suck!"

It was a loud voice, which made Christina frown, and Americans used to dislike to make noise when eating, and they thought it was rude.

But again, "Suck!" ”

The voice was so loud that Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but go home, wanting to see who looked so ugly.

When I looked closely, there were two men and a woman sitting behind me, and the Oriental with a child, like Zhou Shaoming, was yellow-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed.

Zhou Shaoming sighed in his heart, thinking that it was a Chinese who came to travel, after all, when our countrymen eat, they will also make sounds.

Of course, we Chinese just make a natural sound, not like the Oriental people at that table, the sound is loud and even a little deliberate.

"Are they also Chinese?" Christina asked quizzically, looking at the people at the table.

Zhou Shaoming is very embarrassed, Chinese people travel abroad, there are many jokes, although Chinese think that it is inevitable to make a sound when eating noodles and drinking soup, but under the public in this hall, few Chinese will make such a loud noise.

It's a bit of a damage to the image, after all.

Out of kindness, Zhou Shaoming turned his head and whispered in Chinese: "Hey, friend, please be quiet when eating noodles, there are so many Yankees, pay attention." (To be continued......)
