Chapter 21: Dreams
Xiao Fantasy was very excited after getting this opportunity, and he couldn't even believe that something that had never appeared in him would come true, and the production company was a company that made several movies with a box office of hundreds of millions. Vertices
At that time, Xiao Fan was suspicious for a while, and finally he believed it after someone asked him to go to the company for an interview. At that time, Xiao Fan already had a girlfriend, and the two of them made an exception and spent money to go to a hot pot restaurant to rub it, and the hard days were coming to an end.
After that hot pot, the two of them haven't eaten hot pot for a year.
After signing, Xiao Fantasy has been waiting for them to pay the fee, and the negotiated price is 800,000 yuan, and then if the box office of the movie exceeds 100 million, there will be other shares. In short, the profits are considerable. But after signing the contract, the fee was not remitted for a long time, and at first it was said that there was a problem with the funds, and he was given to him after solving the two pieces of actors and sets, and then he dragged the equipment to fail, and he needed to buy the equipment again, and pay for the premiere at the latest.
In the end, Xiaohuan waited until the end of the movie's release period, and the 800,000 yuan was not given, let alone the box office of more than 100 million yuan. The most infuriating thing is that the screenwriter of this movie still wrote the name of Little Taohuawu.
Xiao Fan argued with the company several times, and finally the security guards forbade Xiao Fan to enter. Xiao Fantasy had no choice but to take the contract to the film company in court.
In the next half a year, Xiao Yu not only lost the money he earned from his part-time job writing over the years to the lawyer's fees, but also spent all the money his girlfriend earned over the years. Xiao Phantom was desperate, because of the copyright involved, the company finally agreed to give Xiao Phantom the 800,000, but reported a lot of taxes, and only 700,000 in Xiao Phantom's hands.
On the one hand, his own works are named after others, and on the other hand, the basic survival of two people. Xiao Fantasy compromised, he took the 700,000 yuan, gave up the postgraduate entrance examination, gave up the copyright, and took the money back to Fengtian to buy a bookstore. The two of them have gone from being full of hope to being disappointed, and they are no longer able to struggle with their fate, and the two young people finally learn to compromise.
"Why is there such a thing? Xiao Fan didn't look for me, I work as a reporter in an entertainment company, maybe I can help him!"
"Who would have thought that this good thing could turn into a bad thing? Xiao Fantasy didn't fit in when he was in school, and he was embarrassed to find you if he had anything. This is all what Xiao Yu told me after he married Xiao Yu. The female boss also sighed, her son's dream for so many years was finally achieved, but it became like this again, how can a mother not feel distressed?
"Which company are you with?" Mo Xun couldn't help but interject.
"Coco Films. The landlady said.
The previous boss was called Hua Chuanze, the Hua Coco Film Company established in 02, at that time, Hong Kong films were in a mess, and Hua Chuanze grabbed 20 million box office in the hands of Stephen Chow with his own strength, which can be said to be quite difficult at that time. β
Mo Xun liked to watch movies very much at that time, as long as the cinema showed Hong Kong films, he would make a lot of money, Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau's face appeared on the movie screen in turn, and the venue was almost full.
The emergence of Coco Hua had a big impact on Hong Kong films at that time, and later more and more film companies like Coco Hua appeared, and the momentum of Hong Kong films slowly retreated, and Mo Xun witnessed this change in the cinema.
"Yes, but in 2012, that is, five years ago, Hua Chuanze, the boss of Coco Huawen, suddenly announced that he would leave his job and go abroad to recuperate, and Coco Huawen Film fell
In the hands of Hua Chuanze's wife Deng Wen, the Chinese film market is getting better and better, but the status and reputation of Hua Wen's movies are not as good as before. β
Bai Sui then Mo Xun said that he was surprised that Mo Xun had such an understanding of the history of Chinese films, and the two of them really became more and more connected.
"We ordinary people can't control these things. It's better to live a good life than anything else. You two eat dumplings, I like to talk to people when I'm older, and the dumplings are cold. Aunt Wu said and took out two plates with black liquid from the kitchen.
"You taste it, this is Aunt Wu's exclusive secret recipe. It's delicious. Baitose took the dipping saucer.
Mo Xun sandwiched a dumpling, dipped it twice in the dipping saucer, and then took a small bite, the shrimp was fresh, and the cooking time was just right, there were meat fillings and vegetables in it, and the meat should be pork. Mo Xun didn't eat the dish, the taste was very light, and it wouldn't dominate.
"What kind of dish is this?" Mo Xun really couldn't taste what kind of dish it was.
"You probably haven't eaten it, it's bracken, I grow it myself. Aunt Wu explained.
"I've ever eaten bracken, but I always feel that bracken has a smell that I don't like to eat. Mo Xun studied with Aunt Wu seriously, and the hundred-year-old couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Mo Xun's serious appearance when he had eaten it a long time ago.
"Just put some salt in the blanching water, and there is no trick. Aunt Wu saw that Mo Xun liked it, so she also liked to talk to Mo Xun.
Mo Xun grabbed another one, smacked his mouth, didn't taste the taste of bracken, and ate another one! Seeing that Mo Xun was eating attentively, he picked up his chopsticks and ate it. The dipping sauce is boiled by Aunt Wu herself, and the proportions of various ingredients are handed down by the older generation of the family.
"Aunt Wu, two more plates. "The hundred-year-old saw that Mo Xun's plate had bottomed out, and he asked Mo Xun for another plate, in order to see Mo Xun early, he worked overtime at noon and didn't eat, and he was also hungry.
"Aunt Wu, you have this craft, why don't you have a whole big shop, if you don't bring me here at the age of 100, I may not be able to come here to eat dumplings in my life." "Mo Xun is telling the truth, the time she can stay in the same place is limited, she has been in Fengtian for a long time, if it was Xiaoyun Mountain, maybe she would have left a long time ago.
"I'm so old, I can't do anything I want. Aunt Wu waved her hand, it was already a problem for her every morning and face.
While eating and chatting, it was not until it was getting dark that Mo Xun and Bai Sui came out of the dumpling shop. Looking at the female boss Aunt Wu, Mo Xun had this feeling, what kind of feeling does it feel to be old?
This time, Bai Sui didn't propose where to go, but directly and obediently sent Mo Xun home, and he also wanted to go to Aunt Wu's little fantasy bookstore to see, but he was a classmate before, even if he didn't communicate much, for Aunt Wu's sake, he could help if he could, and it was always love.
Mo Xun was in a good mood when she got home, everyone was playing mahjong after dinner, and she was also very interested in going over to play two rounds.
"What are you doing today?" asked gossipingly.
"I just went to have a meal and came back, didn't you go anywhere?" Mo Xun replied truthfully.
"The paintings you brought back were all 100-year-old, right? The young man is very good at drawing, and the paintings are very expressive. He brought over a pot of hot tea and poured it for a few people playing mahjong.
"Who showed it to you, isn't it Huanqing?" Mo Xun went to find a hundred years old yesterday and took back the hundred-year-old painting by the way, thinking about coming back to see,
But as soon as I got home, I was so obsessed with that I forgot about the painting. It must have been Xiaoxi who told Huanqing, and Huanqing showed it to them.
"Play cards, play cards. He said awkwardly.
After playing two rounds of cards, Mo Xun became more and more restless, this feeling is very familiar to Mo Xun, it is a feeling that Mo often has after being controlled by the old prince, it is a sad emotion for no reason.
"Don't fight, where is Xiaoyunshan?" Mo Xun pushed down the mahjong, went upstairs and went back to the house to pick up the mobile phone, there was no message from Bai Sui.
"What are you looking for your mother?" Yun Shan heard Mo Xun calling himself, put down the things in his hand and followed Mo Xun into the house.
"Do you know Coco Hua, have you been in contact with Mr. Coco Hua?" Mo Xun always felt that Bai Sui was very concerned about this matter.
"I didn't have much contact, they came to me at that time to pull investment, I didn't understand the film market and didn't dare to make a rash move, and Deng Cohen's reputation was not very good. Although Yun Shan didn't know why Mo Xun asked him about business, he still answered him very honestly.
"What's going on with Coco Deng?" Mo Xun has been listening to all kinds of people talk about Coco Deng, but what is wrong with it, Mo Xun still knows.
There is a saying that Coco Deng's husband Hua Chuanze did not go abroad, but was killed by Coco Deng. Because after Hua Chuanze announced that he was leaving Hua Wen, no one has seen him again, no media has photographed him, and even Deng Wen's family photo for the New Year has no trace of Hua Chuanze. Yunshan explained.
"So no one dares to cooperate with her?" Mo Xun asked.
"No, Coco Hua is a leading industry in the film industry, how could a businessman be naΓ―ve enough to give up cooperation because of such rumors. What really makes people mind is that Coco Deng is extremely insidious. Yun Shan said.
"Going back on your word, extremely insidious, what's the matter?" Mo Xun asked curiously.
"Yes, don't say anything else, do you remember Lao Cheng who used to be in a college with me? Lao Cheng and her daughter are now an actress, and she has worked with Coco Hua before, and she originally negotiated a good 5,000-one episode, but then the role was changed, and then Coco Deng let her go without giving her a penny. That's a very clear contract and doesn't count. Yun Shan was still a little angry when he mentioned this.
"Then this lamp is really not a good thing. Then, Mo Xun told Yun Shan what he had seen and heard about the dumpling restaurant. Yun Shan was also angry when he heard it, but he couldn't control it after all. γ
"Why are you asking this? Where are you going with the hundred-year-old today? Qingqing said that one of those paintings is my past life?"
"Why does he dare to say anything? Wait for me not to clean him up?" Mo Xun was angry, when did Huanqing become so impertinent, and said anything.
"What kind of person was I in my previous life? I always felt that you were a very important person in my previous life. Yun Shan looked at Mo Xun's eyes and said.
"Don't think about it, what do you think of your life?" asked Mo Xun.
"It's hard, but it's hard to live. None of those who gasp for breath are easy. But isn't that what life is all about? If there is no bitterness, there is no sweetness. Yun Shan said with a smile.
The mother and son were chatting, and the mobile phone in Mo Xun's hand finally rang. Mo Xun excitedly unlocked the lock screen, and it was not a hundred years old who sent a text message, but Zhao Yong.
"Come here, your little lover is here with me!"
