Old Mike was not enthusiastic, and even a little withdrawn.

So after trying to ask a few times, the other party remained silent about the empty house, and Qi Jie could only dispel this idea.

Qi Mu was a little moved, but she was worried about the cost. After all, it would be much more convenient to have your own house no matter what you do, so Qi Jie decided to rent the house.

I contacted Mai Na by phone, and then quickly set a time to sign the contract.

It turned out that the house was a friend of Mike's who was planning to make a movie, but was planning to rent out the property due to financial problems.

The next thing was much simpler, after successfully completing the discharge procedures, after a while, Mike took Mina to the hospital.

Old Mike seemed to be very unhappy to see his son, but he still had a good face for Myna.

Seeing Qi Jie's puzzled face, Mai Na took the initiative to explain for her.

In the United States, most people have to be self-reliant at the age of 18, many people will move out of their homes to live, food, clothing, housing and transportation need to earn their own money, even if they stay at home, they have to pay the rent on time every month, of course, the rent is cheaper than outside, which causes the relationship between parents and children is not so harmonious.

The reason why the relationship between old Mack's father and son is close to the freezing point is mainly because Mike's first start-up capital was exchanged for a treasured classic car of Old Mack.

And the elder Mike is also full of complaints about his son's movies, saying that watching his movies is the same as listening to the words of those liars on the street, they are all full of nonsense, especially the "Xiaoqiang theory" advocated by Mike.

At the mention of this, Mike couldn't help but argue: "Art, that's art reprocessing." If the protagonist is the same as other characters, how can he highlight his strength? ”

"Be realistic, too!"

Old Mike said without being salty.

"You don't understand, in a mysterious oriental saying, I'm playing the piano with a cow!"

Mai Na laughed regardless of the image, Qi Jie's mother and daughter looked at each other, and then tacitly looked at the exotic street scene outside the car.

"Oh? Like you stole my car and sold him to make what you call a bullshit movie? ”

"Oh come on, I was for the dream! Don't you now have a young and promising son who can show off in front of your neighbors!? ”

"I thought that only by working hard with my hands was for my dreams, but I didn't expect your dream to be achieved by stealing other people's cars."

"At least I didn't take that piece of furniture from yours, even though it fits well with the layout of my bedroom, and I've been waiting until you're dead to move it."

Old Michael looked at his son for a long time, and then shook his head: "I think I should die on the battlefield, maybe I shouldn't let you be born in this world." ”

"Oh my God!" Mike hugged his head exaggeratedly.

Old Mike lit a cigarette: "In any case, I have participated in three wars, and I have never seen a person alive after being shot, if the movie you make is put in reality, even if you are not killed, you will die due to excessive blood loss, besides, every enemy is not weaker than us, are they all blind, and they all avoid one person in the rain of bullets?" ”

"You don't understand art, you ask Qi, Qi is also a director, you can ask her, my shooting method is universal all over the world!"

Qi Jie didn't expect to involve her for no reason.

Old Mike was also surprised that the girl under the age of twenty across from him turned out to be a director.

In fact, Qi Jie was even more surprised than the other party. Because if the conversation just now had been placed in China, Mike would have become the target of verbal criticism and writing, and the words she said in front of the media were nothing in comparison.

But even so, she didn't see the father and son really angry.

Old Mike's eyes looked up and down on her.

"It's no wonder that movies are becoming more and more unwatchable now."

Qi Jie smiled silently and bitterly.

Along the way, Mike kept trying to pull Qi Jie into his camp, and then the two fought against Old Mike together, and Qi Jie wisely chose to remain silent.

The house for rent is a small two-story building with white walls and a red roof, and like many American homes, there is a rocking chair in front of the door, an open space in front of the door, and a small garage on the right.

Old Mike got out of the car and went back to his house directly, and Qi Jie took Qi's mother to look at the house, the layout of the upper and lower floors, except for some disorganized, Qi's mother was very satisfied with the house.

Mike quietly asked, why does Qi's mother not look very old, and she is not so sick and still needs someone to support her? If this house is rented, it will be her personal property, but it looks so restrained, and she has no consciousness of being the owner at all.

Mai Na couldn't answer this question very thoroughly, and could only use cultural differences to explain the other party's doubts.

Because I had to move in that day, Qi Jie's quilt cover was all removed and cleaned......

After a lot of delay to put everything in order, Qi Mu sat in the room, and sometimes Qi Jie could be seen busy through the crack in the open door.

I haven't seen her for a long time, she feels that her daughter has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she used to have ten fingers that didn't touch the spring water.

Seeing Qi Jie walking out with a large basin of washed quilt covers, Qi's mother also got up and walked out of the house.

The mother and daughter worked together to hang the quilt cover and dry it, and Qi's mother said, "Xiaojie, Mom asks you something." ”

Qi Jie looked at her with a confused expression.

Qi Mu asked: "I remember that you were not like this before, I was very worried about how you would live in the future, but I didn't expect you to be so capable now." Mom knows what you're here for, but in fact, those people came to the hospital to make trouble, and Mom wasn't angry. ”

"Really?" Qi Jie asked.

Qi Mu nodded.

"This shows that you have the ability, you were born by me, I know that your nature is not bad, there is a good saying, called "not early jealousy is mediocre", so my mother is not only not angry, but also happy. ”

"Does that mean that mothers are proud of their daughters?"

Mother Qi shook her head, there was only a quarrel between their mother and daughter before, how could her daughter show this appearance.

While the two hung the sheets, Qi's mother said: "I have seen the bills of the hospital, and for my mother, those medical expenses are an astronomical amount, ordinary people can't make so much money in their lives, but you ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly heard Mina's voice behind him.

Qi Jie turned her head to see that Mina and Mike were taking large bags of things from the car, which looked like vegetables, fruits, and a long breadstick.

Qi Jie turned her head to look at Qi Mu, who smiled and motioned for her to come over to help.

Qi Jie smiled apologetically, and then walked over to help the two of them get things together.

The remaining pillowcases and other small items are slowly drying by Qi's mother. Like most traditional women, even if she is very eager for her children to spend more time with her and chat with her, there is always a big premise.

Try not to delay the children's affairs on the premise.

Moving things into the house, the three of them discussed the issue of filming.

It can be seen that Mai Na attaches great importance to this album, otherwise how could she help her arrange accommodation and buy things in her busy spare time, which can not only be explained simply by "asking for others", but also wanting to have a relationship with Qi Jie.

And Mike doesn't look at arguing with his father all the time, but in fact, he still attaches great importance to every word of his father, but the difference in countries makes Maina more reserved, and Mike is not so reserved, but always talks to his father in the tone of the set.

Mike still insists on his opinion, and Qi Jie does not argue, in fact, as he said, Qi Jie has a better film model, but she still intends to respect the original book.

"I want to ask you first, why do you think this way? Want to make a MV? ”

Qi Jie smiled, showing her teeth slightly.

"I don't have any special ideas, I just think that having a plot will make people go deeper."

Both nodded in agreement.

"But have you ever wondered why music videos are generally dance-based in the music scene so far? Even if there is a plot, it is a little dabbling, and your MV seems to me to be a micro-movie, it is too complicated. ”

"If it's complicated, it means that it must have a deep acting foundation in the character, and interpret the role in it, so that you can fully express the effect you want......"

Qi Jie also nodded.

When she was most impressed by the movie clip, the movie Dream Chaser finally JoJo ran on the street in a wedding dress, and Andy went to the meeting alone with the song "Dream Chaser" almost made people in that era cry.

So when she agreed to make a MV for Mai Na, she thought of using the clip of the movie "Heavenly Love".

"Any questions?" Qi Jie asked.

"That's a big problem!" Mike spreads his hands.

Mai Na smiled bitterly and said: "At present, I am over, the situation in the entertainment industry is that actors with good acting skills are very picky about scripts, and they are very demanding, since we want to shoot MVs, this kind of actor will definitely not be able to find them, so actor selection is a big problem!" ”

"But this is just a MV, why look for a big-name star, can't a newcomer?"

The two of them suddenly woke up, indeed. Mai Na has always attached great importance to this album, and she can't help but want to do it perfectly, but when Qi Jie said this, it seems that she has put the cart before the horse.
