This will have a great impact on the evaluation of the movie itself and the box office revenue.

At last... The two compromised with each other and took a step back before changing the schedule to be released on the National Day.

"Alas..."Lao Qin also sighed, such a project, when filming, there are no difficulties, but when the movie is finished, it should be busy, many things are involuntarily, even Zheng Xu can only talk and compromise.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Director Zheng has never been too enthusiastic about making movies, but likes to make TV series.

Like him, when filming a TV series, he can shoot wherever he wants, he can't encounter any difficulties, and there are not so many bad things even when it is released, and Zheng Xu is one of the shareholders of Penguin Video.

In such a comparison, it is still easy to shoot a TV series!

...

"By the way, Lao Qin, I may take some people on a business trip in the near future."

"Huh?" Lao Qin looked at Zheng Xu with some confusion.

"Help shoot something, the time hasn't been determined yet, wait for me to notify you then, don't say it now, I'll just say hello to you in advance."

Zheng Xu's explanation was a little light, Lao Qin glanced at Zheng Xu's expression, since he said so, and there was a little bit of a lake, then there was no need to ask about the specifics.

"Okay... I know. ”

There's nothing more to explain when you think about it.

Zheng Xu was just about to explain to Lao Qin about the fake press corps again, and the mobile phone prompted the sound.

I took out my mobile phone and saw that my father, who usually rarely looks for him, sent him a message, asking him to go back at night, and he has something to explain.

After reading this information, Zheng Xu frowned slightly, generally if there is nothing to do, there is relatively little contact between father and son, every time Zheng Xu goes home, the two of them have a drink at most.

But at noon, my father's text message came, and Zheng Xu didn't believe it if he wanted to say that it was okay.

"Alright... You arrange the press corps over there, and when the time comes, arrange for them to be far away, just be careful not to show us it, I have something to do here, go out. ”

Zheng Xu got up and sent a message to Xiao Kai, asking him to drive first and wait for him at the gate of the company.

Lao Qin accompanied Zheng Xu out of the conference room, and along the way, Lao Qin followed behind Zheng Xu with his head down.

When passing by the office, Lao Qin did not go upstairs, but continued to follow behind Zheng Xu.

"What's wrong? Anything else? ”

Lao Qin's face was a little hesitant, he gritted his teeth and said, "Dao'er... I always feel like we're a little impatient this time..."

"Hmm..."

Zheng Xu was a little silent, impatience must be impatient, time waits for no one.

"Something... Don't ask, I won't say it, let's do it if we can, we'll know after a while, this time we still have to pay attention, safe, secret... I don't need to explain the rest. ”

"Okay... I get it. ”

Lao Qin let out a sigh, he just felt that his plan was a little hasty, and he had to prepare carefully, it was Zheng Xu's attitude this time, as if he was going to do something big, so something happened to him.

Right now... Since Zheng Xu is still stable, then he doesn't have to worry.

"We're going to have a little premiere tomorrow, are you still coming?"

"No, you know I don't like to participate in this thing... I'm going to have a day off at home tomorrow. ”

Zheng Xu waved his hand, saw Xiao Kai driving over, said hello to Lao Qin, and got in the car first.

Lao Qin looked at the white Cadillac Escalade in the distance, and thought about Zheng Xu's performance in the past two days, which seemed a little strange...

...............

"Fifth brother? Why are we going back today? Don't bring your sister-in-law with you? ”

Xiao Kai has no resistance to this kind of early departure from work, even Zheng Xu's return to his parents' house at noon is still rare.

"Ask what you're doing, there's something wrong with texting, I'm not busy at the moment, go back and see."

Zheng Xu explained casually, squinting and preparing to rest for a while.

....

It was past one o'clock at noon, and it stands to reason that at this point in time, Lao Zheng would not be at home except for weekends.

But as soon as Zheng Xu came today, Lao Zheng pulled him to the study.

"Look... Something happened to your third brother's letter. ”

Lao Zheng took out a large envelope from the desk and handed it to Zheng Xu.

Taking the white envelope, the dirty-looking envelope, Zheng Xu glanced at it, and the envelope was still in English.

"There's a translation in it, you see what's inside."

Lao Zheng's voice came, Zheng Xu glanced up at his father, and asked with some doubts: "Who is this letter?" ”

"Your brother... Written by the third child. ”

Zheng Xu's father, when he talks about the title of the third child, his tone is a little wrong, some hate iron is not steel, and some regret.

"Look here, I'll get you a drink."

Lao Zheng said, left Zheng Xu in the study by himself, and went out first with the door.

Zheng Xu went to the sofa, did not rush to open the envelope, but first carefully observed the entire envelope, it seems that this envelope is a standard envelope, but he is not good at English, he can only clearly recognize the name of the third brother, and a few words representing the address.

Zheng Xu's third brother is his cousin and one of the only two boys in the family.

The entire Zheng family, going back several generations, is all in one lineage, and it is only in the generation of Zheng Xu's father that there are four brothers and sisters.

Zheng Xu's father is the youngest of the four, and there are two sisters and a big brother.

There are so many children, Zheng Xu's grandfather is very happy, the Zheng family is already scarce, plus Zheng Xu's two aunts are also looking for sons-in-law, all the children in the family have been raised together since childhood, and the title will be smoothly arranged according to age, anyway, they are all surnamed Zheng, grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons and granddaughters are almost the same.

The family lives not far away, and the atmosphere of the whole big family is quite harmonious and united.

But everything, as Zheng Xu's grandfather grew old, some things slowly changed, such as Zheng Xu's so-called cousin, that is, the third brother.

This is not a good stubble.

When the third brother was a child, he was extremely smart and had a good academic performance, and Zheng Xu's grandfather also had great expectations for this grandson.

But the good times didn't last long, his grandson studied well, and his appearance was not bad, and after graduating from college, he soon found a partner and got married.

But young people, there are more thoughts and more contacts, Zheng Xu, the third brother and third sister-in-law, their minds are lively, they want to live abroad, I heard that the moon outside is round, and even the air may be sweet.

Originally... If you are newly married, you can understand if you go abroad to have a fun and spend a honeymoon or something, but it is not suitable for Yanguo people, and you can immigrate directly, the idea of the third brother is still very deviant in a family like the Zheng family, which is already sparsely populated.

Later, the third sister-in-law threatened to be pregnant, so she wanted to go to the United States to play, and Zheng Xu's aunt agreed that they would live for a while, and then come back when they had enough fun.

But...

waited until Zheng Xu's aunt breathed, and did not wait for his precious son to bring him back with his grandson, and before he died, he didn't even see the last side.

They broke their promise, and actually played a routine in front of their elders that they never went back.

People say that their parents are not traveling far, and this is a good person, who directly plays the role of deceiving his parents, and he will not come back as soon as he goes out.

Even if that's the case, you're out, at least you have to find a good job to support yourself, your wife and children, right?

But Zheng Xu's third brother is not like this, he will often ask his family for help and money, the consumption in the United States is too high, completely according to their previous lifestyle in China, relying on the salary of the two of them. That's certainly not enough.

Afterward... When this returned to China, Zheng Xu's aunt had even done the aftermath.

And what about his third brother, he was easy to talk about, and finally asked Zheng Xu's aunt's urn over, and then patted his ass and left.

This is the representative and this family are cut off.

Anyway, since then, Zheng Xu has deleted all the contact information of the third brother, and no one on either side cares about anyone.

In the past, when Zheng Xu was preparing to shoot "Hot Afternoon", he remembered that there was such a relative in the United States.

After so many years, Zheng Xu will not ignore him all the time, this third brother has already been naturalized, since he is also an American, there are some things that can be done in his name.

Give him some money, let him invest in his own movie, a little bit of meaning, even if there is American money to participate in the film project.

In the end, he can still pay a small dividend.

I wanted to call this cousin, but he didn't have the other party's phone number.

I can only ask my father for help, the elders in the family still spoil the children very much, even if Zheng Xu's third brother does too much, during the New Year's holidays, the elders in the family will call him every year to ask about the current situation over there.

It was at this time that Zheng Xu's father found out that he had even changed his mobile phone number, and he didn't even send a notification text message to his family, and the previous contact information was no longer available.

This time, the relationship was really broken.

For this matter, Zheng Xu's father was angry for many days.

.................

Now... After so many years, it is not clear that the third brother has actually sent a letter, which is very unusual.

Slowly open the envelope, two pieces of stationery, one in English should be the original.

And the other handwriting is more beautiful, presumably translated by someone in Daddy's company.

"Hmph..."

Looking at the letter paper full of dense English, Zheng Xu pouted and wrote a letter to the elders in the domestic family, but it was in English...

What's going on here?

Ignoring the original letter, Zheng Xu got up first and took an ashtray from Lao Zheng's desk, put it on the armrest of his sofa, lit a cigarette, and then unfolded the translated letter to read it directly.

...............

"Give... Your favorite Coke, smoke less, you see how old I have been out, and there are white cigarettes in this house. ”

Zheng Xu closed the envelope, put the envelope behind him, and asked: "He wrote this letter, neither saying what happened or where he is now, but saying that he was arrested by the American police, how should we talk back to him?" ”

Looking at the envelope, there were only a few USPS stamps on it, and he didn't understand anything else.

After waiting for a long time, Lao Zheng saw that Zheng Xu didn't speak, so he could only speak first: "Xiao Xu, I don't know now, he is pretending, or if something really happened, even if he lied to me, I will admit it, you find someone to check in the United States to see if he has lost his documents, or lost his mobile phone, and he is desperate,"

"Okay... However, there are a lot of people there, and even if you look up the information, you have to wait a few days to collect some of them. ”

"You can make up your own mind, you were arrested by the American police, and you can write a letter to me to find out what is going on with the third child! Let's see if he is on the wrong path, if he can't do it, he will take a hand, they are all brothers, how can there be an overnight feud. ”

Zheng Xu sighed, he didn't plan to take care of this matter, if it wasn't for his father to worry about it, he would have taken care of this and that.

For his third brother, Zheng Xu doesn't have a good impression of him at all now.

That is, Zheng's father said this, and Zheng Xu reluctantly agreed.

"Okay Dad, I'll ask when I go back, at this time..."

Zheng Xu picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was now more than three o'clock in the morning in the United States, which was not a good time, and most of us were sleeping.

"I'll wait until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and then I'll ask someone to find out what's going on."

Lao Zheng saw that Zheng Xu agreed to come down, and he didn't stay with him much: "Are you busy?" That's all for today, okay, you go and get busy, I'll be gone in a moment. ”

"Okay... I'll tell you if there's news. ”

"Hmm... Go, go, let Xiao Kai drive slower on the road. ”

................

"Huh... What's wrong with you today? What is it? Who wrote the letter? ”

Wang Ou was sent back to her by her assistant after work, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Zheng Xu sitting on the sofa in a daze, and when her eyes turned, she saw the white envelope on the coffee table.

"There's something wrong, don't ask."

"Oh..."

Wang Ou threw the small bag to Zheng Xu, first went back to the house to change a set of pajamas, and waited for a long time before stepping on slippers, holding a snack basket out, and sitting on the sofa next to Zheng Xu.

"That's right... Xiaoxing's TV series have been filmed, and there is only time left to do post-production, what about you... I don't think there's only one movie left that hasn't been released yet? You're going to rest in the second half of this year, huh? Don't make dramas anymore? Don't make milk powder money anymore? ”

"Hey..."

Zheng Xu heard Wang Ou talk about filming the drama, and he also had a bit of a headache.

Now Mr. Zhang's big work is estimated to be delayed for a month, and when he finishes his work, it is estimated that it will be almost July, theoretically, there is still half a year before the New Year, which is enough for Zheng Xu to make another TV series to make a wave of money.

But the question is, he can shoot, and he has to consider that the employees below are basically at full capacity this year, can this continuous rotation work?

"Hmph... I ask you what to say. ”

Seeing that Zheng Xu didn't react for a long time, Wang Ou couldn't take care of the snacks, so he stretched out his feet and kicked Zheng Xu.

"Shoot! Clap! Haven't I thought about which book to shoot yet? Now there are a lot of things in the company, Lei Mu's side, he recently talked to a partner, and the boss is not too young to get married, he said that he doesn't want to act after marriage, and he is going to take a management position in the future. ”

"Huh? Xiaomu is not ready to act? So who are you going to use in your next drama? ”

Zheng Xu took a breath and thought about it, who else is younger in the company now besides Chen Yao and Bai Ke?!
