Chapter 525: An Open Secret
"Whew~ This weather is so bad, I think it will snow tomorrow. What do you think? ”
When he arrived at the reception room, Mars took off his red and black plaid wool scarf, took off his black tweed coat, hung it on the coat rack by the wall, and sat down on the soft sofa before he spoke.
"The weather forecast says the same."
Ni Bingyan took off his thick coat and sat opposite him, not wanting to talk about those inconsequential things, but he didn't want to make himself look very anxious, so he rang the bell and called the Filipino maid.
The Filipino maid came in without a word of nonsense: "Dear Mr. Mars, would you like something to drink?" ”
I have to say that Mr. Housekeeper is really professional and manages the staff at home very well.
Just one accurate title made Stephen Mars feel very useful, and his expression became more and more relaxed.
"Just give me a hot latte, thank you!"
The Filipino maid speaks with a slight accent, but it doesn't affect her professionalism.
"Yes sir."
"I still want hot milk."
Ni Bingyan rarely drinks coffee, and no matter how little caffeine she drinks, she is prone to insomnia, so it is better to drink milk.
"Yes Miss."
The Filipino maid was ordered to leave quietly, leaving only the two to speak alone.
Ni Bingyan immediately couldn't help but get to the point:
"Sorry, I finished late today, I didn't know you were waiting, what did you mean by what you just said outside?"
After doing this business, who doesn't want to win an award and improve their qualifications?
Pretending to be a human like Mars is just a joke, and it's completely unnecessary.
She's not the kind of person who likes to hide her ambitions.
Obviously want the same thing, want it to death, and pretend not to be interested, if someone else takes it seriously, accidentally misses a good opportunity, and fails to get what it deserves, isn't it a serious brain disease?
Besides, the crew has been rushing to work recently, and she has a work arrangement early tomorrow morning, which is past eleven o'clock, and she can rest early after chatting early.
It's really not suitable for euphemism.
"That's what you think, do you have any ideas for this year's Golden Globe Awards?"
Mars clasped his hands in front of his knees, bowed his upper body slightly, and looked at her happily, as if he was afraid of missing her true thoughts.
"You mean, 'The Messy Tom's Family' 2? Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress? ”
Ni Bingyan thought about his work carefully, and then tentatively spoke.
Compared with those messy gossip, this kind of thing is obviously more worthy of her attention.
Just as he was about to ask again, he saw the Filipino maid walking over steadily with a tray.
She walked slowly, but with heavy steps, and from a distance, the two of them knew she was coming.
Ni Bingyan immediately stopped, and when the things were put down and the people retreated, she spoke again:
"If you have the opportunity to win a prize, who would say no? You know, it's a sign to me. I have proved my strength through these signs, and when I choose the script in the future, I can get a greater initiative. Rather than being passively picked, or asking you to find me a role, I prefer to rely on my own ability to get what I want. ”
What a clear statement!
Mars picked up the fat white cup and took a sip, probably satisfied with the taste, before taking another big sip.
Mars was always convinced of his wife's judgment, and as it turned out, she was right again.
Ni Bingyan is indeed a person with clear goals, knows how to work hard, and is not hypocritical.
"I understand what you mean, but I hope you will listen carefully to what I am going to say next. I came to you so late, because some things are not easy to talk about on the phone, and now face to face, I believe you can better understand what I mean. ”
Ni Bingyan nodded and motioned for him to say.
"Everybody wants to prove themselves by strength, that's right, it's the right way since ancient times, and you're doing the right thing. But sometimes, we have to be a little bit strategic when we do things. You can't be pedantic, you can't be stubborn, so you know what I mean? ”
What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?
Seeing that she was confused, and had to pretend to be smart, Mars sighed:
"Hey! I'll get it straight! The Golden Globe Awards are voted on by 96 journalists, and these journalists are also human beings, as long as they are human beings, they will have preferences, and now you know what I mean? ”
"You mean, emotional intimacy affects people's perception of things?"
Ni Bingyan is not a naïve person who doesn't understand the world, as soon as he heard this, he immediately understood.
"Yes, that's what it means. As long as we are sure to influence more journalists and get their votes, we will have a chance to be nominated and even awarded. And we want to gain their friendship, which ...... It's inevitable. ”
Seeing Mars put down the coffee cup, he rubbed the three fingers of his right hand.
Ni Bingyan suddenly understood.
is not related to her, if she wants people to vote for her, she naturally has to make a good impression on others in advance.
And if you want to make a good impression, you have to spend "100 million points" of activity funds.
Ni Bingyan struggled a little.
What's the difference between this and spending money on a prize?
But that's the rule.
The test is whose wrist is superb, whose backstage is hard enough, and at the same time, there must be excellent works.
"So, how much is needed?"
Mars didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and originally thought that she would have to talk about the truth for a long time.
"I'm also worried that you will refuse, that it is too commercial and not artistic enough."
Ni Bingyan sighed, picked up the milk cup, and leaned directly on the back of the sofa.
The brown and yellow leather sofa has good support, which makes her feel steady, as if this sitting position is very conducive to making up her mind.
"Everyone does this, I don't do this, if the same work is very good, I will definitely not be able to compare to them, how congested I should be when the time comes?"
Doing the same with the locals, just following the other party's rules and making yourself live well, is essentially different from going along with the same stream.
Hollywood has the best movies from all over the world, and sometimes you need more than just good movies to stand out.
A phenomenal movie, enough to crush all movies, how many years does it take to produce one?
"In that case, I'm really relieved. I'll make a plan, a specific budget, and I'll talk to you about it in detail later. It's too late tonight, I'll go home first, Lilith must still be waiting for me. ”
"Okay Mr. Mars, you have to do your best."
"Of course, it's our shared honor."
The two of them are both prosperous and lossy, and on the premise that Ni Bingyan is worthy of praise, it is also a good thing for Mars to praise her.
Ni Bingyan sent him out, and the two walked to the courtyard, and when they saw that there was no one around, Mars whispered to her:
"I just got the news at dinner that there are quite a few people with voting rights who are hesitating between you and Joan."
"Joan?"
"Joan Fanning."
Didn't deal with it.
In other words, Ni Bingyan didn't know anything about her.
Seeing her wrinkling her eyebrows, Mars put on a scarf, and his voice was a little vague: "Don't worry, leave the rest to me, you go back to rest first, and you have to film tomorrow." Remember, the most important thing for an actor is to produce a good work. ”
Ni Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and made a phone gesture: "Then, keep in touch." ”
"Get in touch."
Mars strode away, and soon the sound of a car leaving sounded outside the courtyard gate.
Ni Bingyan stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, until a cold wind blew and brought flakes of snow to her face, and she was shocked to realize that her toes were numb.
The snow is really falling.
Today's event is not bad, the children are very happy, but everyone prefers to play freely, and I hope their dad can eat it. Fortunately, I had the foresight to steam a pot of red date rolls, which was well received. The neighbor's father went to see Xue Zhiqian's concert, stuck in traffic for several hours, took one out, and ate it directly as dry food, laughing at me. I'll make some black sesame rolls to eat another day, but today I'm afraid that there will be children with sesame allergies, so I didn't do it. I'm going to save my hairline. Everything was perfect, but the kneading machine was broken two days ago, and today I kneaded four catties of noodles by hand, and my wrist was super painful. Sister Wang has to hand in a form tomorrow, go out to print, run a big circle, find a self-service printer, super paste, go home and use the neighbor's printer to re-type, an idea, buy one at home. It turns out that the printer is so cheap, you can buy a good one for a few hundred dollars. I remembered that I had to print the contract last year, and it took me more than an hour to find a print shop, which was really a loss of insufficient knowledge. I'm going to wait for the printer to come back and print out the albums for the kids and print out all the photos they had when they were young. Otherwise, it's all stored in my network disk, and when I die of old age, they won't know the password, and they won't be able to see it. I'm so good at tossing a girl. By the way, do you have any recommendations for a good jeans store? It's cheap, it's good. I used to buy it in a physical store, and then I moved to that store too far away, and I didn't find a new good store. A few days ago, I did my laundry, only to find that a pair of pants had been worn for too many years and were torn. ┭┮_┭┮There are still people whose pants are worn out these years, it's rare, I'm just that.
