"Xiao Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I was thinking that one day I would have time to ask Qianqian to call you to have a meal together, but I didn't expect that you were also filming here."

There were only three people in the huge box, and Liu Xiaoli was greeting Qin Muchu, with a kind smile on her face, looking like an elder meeting a junior she liked.

Qin Muchu recalled the first time he met Liu Xiaoli, and it seemed that Liu Xiaoli's attitude towards him was much better every time he met.

You're going to say it's snobbery......

Well, it can only be said that mother's love is like a mountain.

"Aunt Liu, you came here this time, are you filming?" Qin Muchu asked.

"Yes, I'm still filming "The King of Kung Fu", and I'm going to shoot in the Gobi Desert here."

"That's going to be hard, it's very hot here."

"Isn't it? The director also picked this hot time to come, we are not afraid of hardship, don't look at Sissi looking weak, but she has been practicing dance since she was a child, and no matter how bitter she is, she will not say a word. This time I filmed this scene, practiced those martial arts moves, and I don't know how many ...... I broke on my body."

Liu Xiaoli began to praise her daughter half distressed, half proudly.

Liu Xiqian, who was on the side, was a little embarrassed, and reached out to grab Liu Xiaoli's hand:

"Mom!"

Liu Xiaoli also reacted, she was a little suspicious of selling melons, but she still smiled:

"What's so embarrassing about this, you and Xiao Qin are good friends, so Xiao Qin is not an outsider, is he?"

As she spoke, Liu Xiaoli looked at Qin Muchu.

What else can Qin Muchu say, could he stretch out his hand and say "ugly refusal"?

can only squeeze out a smile and nod again and again,

"Yes, yes, yes."

Liu Xiaoli suddenly smiled, half polite and half sincere:

"With a good friend like you, Sissi is an actor, I am also relieved."

Saying that, Mother Liu didn't know why she felt melancholy again:

"Although Lao Chen is rich and has helped Sissi a lot, he is not a person in the circle after all, and he has encountered some difficulties recently, so he can't take care of Sissi's side......"

When Qin Muchu heard this, he was stunned.

This is really not treating yourself as an outsider, tell me about this?

They are all people in the circle, and with his current status, he also knows why Chen Jingfei takes such good care of Liu Xiqian.

In fact, after being busy, I removed the word "dry" from "godfather" for one thing.

Look at Xiang Liu's mother again, she just put on a simple lipstick, almost plain makeup, although there are a few wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, she does not look old, but has a mature and quiet temperament, beautiful and gentle, and Liu Xiqian sits together like sisters.

When Qin Muchu saw Liu Xiaoli for the first time, he thought that she was in her thirties and less than forty, but it was only later that she learned that she was forty-seven or eighteen, nearly fifty years old.

It's no wonder that Lao Chen has been licking for more than ten years, and he is unswerving.

As for the difficulties encountered by Chen Jingfei in Liu's mother's mouth, Qin Muchu probably guessed what they were.

The global financial crisis.

At the beginning of the year, the financial crisis began in the United States, then quickly swept across the West, and has begun to spread to Asia.

Ordinary people in China haven't felt anything yet, but some businesses that have done big have been affected.

One of the sectors hit hardest by the financial crisis is real estate.

According to Qin Muchu's understanding, Chen Jingfei's main asset is in real estate.

However, Qin Muchu was right to take Liu Xiqian as a friend, but he was not ready to get involved in her family affairs, for fear that Liu Xiaoli would continue to talk about Chen Jingfei, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Aunt Liu, when was Sissi's movie filmed? Should it be almost finished? ”

Liu Xiaoli's mind is complicated and complicated, racking her brains to find resources for her daughter, and even bringing some "dislike the poor and love the rich"; But to say that she is simple and simple, when she mentions her daughter, she is instantly changed to the topic.

"Not yet, only half of the filming is done now, and half of it has not been filmed, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to finish."

Speaking of which, her tone was still a little complaining.

"So long? Then this drama will be filmed for half a year. ”

Even Qin Muchu was a little surprised.

No wonder Liu Xiaoli complained that the filming of this movie started in more than May, and now it is almost August in July, and it has only been half filmed in the past three months.

Normally, a movie is finished in three months.

It takes a long time to prepare and post-production, and the actors don't have a long time to act.

"The King of Kung Fu" is said to be a mythological film, but it is actually a kung fu martial arts film, and the difficulty of filming is probably similar to that of Jin Yong's martial arts film, but the duration is much shorter, and it takes so long to shoot.

"Yes, Sissi is playing a lot of scenes in this play, hanging Weiya, she is so tired every day."

Liu Xiaoli patted Liu Xiqian's hand, looking at her with a little distress in her eyes.

Anyone who has acted knows how tiring it is to shoot a scene, not only to fight but also to play well, and to make a slight mistake in the action has to be repeated.

Especially for the scene of hanging Weiya, come a few more times, there must be bruises on the body, and there will be serious problems walking the next day.

"It's okay, Mom, it's interesting, it's much more enjoyable than when I photographed the Condor."

Liu Xiqian faced Liu's mother's distressed gaze, but she comforted Liu's mother, and smiled a little heartlessly.

Only then did Qin Muchu notice Liu Xiqian and noticed some changes.

In the past, Liu Xiqian's face was a little baby fat, white and tender, but now I see that the baby fat is basically gone, the face is thin, the lines are clear, and the skin has changed from white and tender to wheat, and it looks a lot more energetic and healthy.

Liu Xiqian also found out that Qin Muchu looked at her again, and immediately wrinkled her nose and glared at him fiercely.

Qin Muchu squinted and looked away speechlessly.

The appearance has changed, but the brain is still the same as before.

"Qin Muchu, why haven't Sister Li and Sister Hui Min come yet, didn't you let you inform them?" Liu Xiqian asked.

It wasn't their mother and daughter who invited Qin Muchu to dinner alone tonight, there were many people.

Including the actors of the crew of "Journey to the West" and the actors of "The King of Kung Fu".

Qin Muchu glanced at the alarm clock hanging on the wall:

"It's going to take a while to remove your makeup and change your costume, it should be almost there."

"No hurry, no one else has arrived." Liu Xiaoli said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room opened.

Liu Xiqian looked at the door of the room, thinking that Zeng Li had arrived, and was about to say hello with a smile on her face, but it turned out that it was not Zeng Li.

"Hello Aunt Liu, Sissi, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Hu Ge bowed slightly and greeted Liu Xiqian's mother and daughter.

"Hugo, long time no see."

Although it was not Zeng Li, Liu Xiqian and Hu Ge also cooperated, and when they saw it, they politely said hello and didn't speak.

Although the two are the "carefree, Ling'er" CP of many people, they actually don't have much friendship in private.

At that time, Liu Xiqian was too young when filming "Sword and Fairy", and Liu's mother was strict, so she basically didn't communicate much with other actors.

Except for the Taiwanese girl who played the "Moon Slave", she and Liu Xiqian were of the same age, and their relationship was very good at that time.

Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised to see Hu Ge, she was worried about Liu Xiqian's early love, and she guarded Hu Ge very tightly against the male protagonist in Hu Ge, afraid that her daughter would fall in love because of the play.

Therefore, she was quite impressed by Hu Ge, but she didn't expect to meet Hu Ge here:

"It's Hu Ge, are you also in the crew of "Journey to the West"?"

Tonight, there are two crew actors, either "The King of Kung Fu" or "Journey to the West".

"Yes, I play the Bull Demon King." Hugo scratched his head and laughed.

"The Bull Demon King?"

Liu Xiqian raised her head and looked at Hu Ge, and she couldn't imagine what it was like for him to play the Bull Demon King.

"Yes, Bull Demon King, there are two big horns on his head."

Hugo said and gestured.

……

After Hu Ge came, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became much more joyful.

He has a high emotional intelligence, always has something funny, and is very good at making jokes from time to time, making people laugh without feeling offended.

And as time passed, the rest of the people slowly arrived.

Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin didn't say a word as soon as they entered the private room, and they were pulled by Liu Xiqian to chat next to them.

Mother Liu was also amazed when she saw Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin, and marveled at the appearance of the two daughters.

Zeng Li and the two of them came after removing their makeup and changing their costumes, and they didn't wear makeup, they were both without makeup.

But it's still beautiful.

The two crews were almost there, but when they sat down, Qin Muchu saw some clues.

It stands to reason that Fang Long and Li Lianjie are in the same crew, and they have the same status, so they should sit together.

But the two of them sat across the table in tacit understanding, greeted the rest warmly, but ignored each other, did not communicate at all, and did not even look at each other.

It's like strangers the two don't know.

"When everyone is here, let's serve the food."

After greeting for a while, Liu Xiaoli also got up to greet the waiter.

Zhou Xingxing, who was on the side, approached Qin Muchu and asked in a low voice:

"Doesn't they have an actress in the crew, named Li ......"

Zhou Xingxing couldn't remember the name for a while.

Qin Muchu knew who he was talking about.

Li Shuishui.

Qin Muchu had seen her at the Basha Charity Night before, and was at the same table with him.

Now think about it that night, Li Shuishui and Liu Xiqian were obviously actors in the same crew, and they sat at the same table, but there was no communication during the whole process.

It seems that the crew of "The King of Kung Fu" is really ......

"Something might be wrong." Qin Muchu dealt with it casually.

Zhou Xingxing also nodded and didn't speak again.

At this time, Fang Long stood up and held his wine glass:

"Thank you to Qianqian and Ms. Liu for connecting us today, so that our two crews have the opportunity to meet, I respect everyone."

As he spoke, he drank it all.

Although not the host, it is full of style.

Fang Long's status was there, and no one present did not give face, they all stood up and had a drink, and said with a smile, "Big brother is polite." ”

Li Lianjie also drank, but after drinking, he talked to the person next to him.

Qin Muchu drank a glass and was about to eat, when he saw Li Lianjie holding a wine glass, crossed Zhou Xingxing, and smiled at him:

"Xiao Qin Dao, I heard that you donated 11 million on Charity Night before, cow! I salute you! ”

With that, he drank the wine from the cup in one gulp.

Although Qin Muchu didn't know why Li Lianjie wanted to respect him for donating money, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should not be good.

They've had their own sake.

At the premiere of "Golden Armor", Li Lianjie invited him to donate to the "One Fund", but Qin Muchu refused, and did not give Li Lianjie face in front of such a multimedia.

Unexpectedly, Jet Li did not hold a grudge, but took the initiative to toast him.

Qin Muchu immediately poured himself a cup and saluted back.

"It's not a 'cow', I did what I could."

"If you can do what you can, okay, to do charity is to do what you can, as long as everyone can make what you can, then the world will be much better, too much."

Qin Muchu just said something casually, but Li Lianjie nodded again and again as if he had heard some proverb.

"Come, just for the sake of this, I'll toast you again, haha, I didn't understand until I lived to this age, you understand now, a young man like you is hope."

Li Lianjie picked up the wine glass again and drank it dry in one gulp.

The speed is very fast, and it is worthy of practicing martial arts.

Qin Muchu didn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Li Lianjie's words were a bit "fake and empty" and "shouting slogans", but Qin Muchu could feel that these were his sincere words.

At least at this moment, Li Lianjie really thinks so.

A sense of respect also rose in his heart, and he poured himself a full glass of wine again and accompanied him with a glass.

With two glasses of wine in a row, plus the cup of Fang Long before, at this moment, Qin Muchu had already drunk three times as much wine.

A flush also appeared on his face.

shook his head and took two chopsticks and a mat.

And all this is seen by two pairs of eyes.

Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin looked at Hu Ge and Qin Muchu with some concern, they knew that Qin Muchu couldn't drink enough.

Zhou Huimin poked Zeng Li and pouted in the direction of Qin Muchu, the meaning was obvious.

Zeng Li immediately patted Liu Xiqian next to him:

"Sissi, do you still have a drink?"

The girls didn't drink tonight, and they drank all the same.

There were so many girls present, a bottle of drink per person and one cup were gone.

"There should still be, in ......"

Liu Xiqian turned her eyes and glanced at the ground, and sure enough, she saw a few bottles of juice at the curtain.

So he stood up and went somewhere, easily unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and poured it into the cup that Zeng Li.

"No, I don't drink, you pour some for Qin Muchu, you look at him like that, he will be drunk."

Zeng Li stopped Liu Xiqian.

"Ah, are you drunk so soon?"

Liu Xiqian turned her head to look at Qin Muchu and saw that his face was indeed a little red.

also remembered that Qin Muchu was drunk unconscious during the finale banquet of "The Gift of Room No. 7" before.

handed the drink to Qin Muchu:

"Drink this, you're going to get drunk."

Liu Xiqian looked at Qin Muchu with some worry in her eyes.

Although Qin Muchu always called her stupid, every time she asked Qin Muchu to help, Qin Muchu never refused.

Therefore, she still cares about this only male good friend in her heart.

It's just that Liu Xiqian is right to be worried, but it hurts people's self-esteem to say it directly.

At the wine table, saying that a man is going to get drunk is still said by a woman, which undoubtedly hurts the man's self-esteem.

The degree is second only to saying that men "can't do it".

This kind of talk is no less than agitation, and men often have to prove that they are not drunk and drink more.

But Qin Muchu has one advantage, he is obedient.

If you can't drink alcohol, you really can't drink it, and people who don't like it feel really bad to drink.

"Thank you."

Qin Muchu immediately took the juice, poured himself a glass, and drank it in one gulp.

Sweet and sour, much worse than spicy and bitter wine.

It's decided, drink it next!

But someone didn't let Qin Muchu get his wish,

"Qianqian, what does this mean, how can a man drink at the wine table, you don't feel sorry for Xiao Qindao, you look down on Xiao Qindao, and you don't respect everyone!"

Fang Long spoke at length, with a serious face, and Liu Xiqian was a little overwhelmed.

Then, Fang Long raised his glass again,

"Come, Xiao Qin Dao, I respect you! Before I went to some Asian countries, especially South Korea and Japan, there were your big posters at the bus stops on the street, amazing! Glory for us Celestial Empire! ”

Qin Muchu saw that Fang Long's words were like this, so he could only smile on his face, give the juice to Liu Xiqian, and let her take it.

Then he poured another glass of wine and clinked glasses with Fang Long.

"Shhh...... Ha! ”

After this glass of wine, Qin Muchu was really a little dizzy.

"Haha, how can a man be without wine and ...... Ideal! ”

Fanglong wine field veteran, a glass of wine after the face is not red and the heart is not beating, haha laughed.

Qin Muchu couldn't care about what Fang Long was talking about, and there was only one thought in his mind.

"Made, this wine is not as good as the last time I drank it at Xiang's house, and now it's on top."

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was almost drunk.

Fang Long also let go, leaned back in the chair, his big nose was red, and he looked at Liu Xiqian with a smile on his face:

"Sissi, I heard your mother say that you want to go to Hollywood to develop?"

Liu Xiqian was stunned, she knew that her mother had this idea, but she thought that Liu's mother had dispelled it after she went to Qin Muchu to help win the heroine of the movie "The King of Kung Fu" last time.

She knew that she could win the heroine, that is, her mother promised to sign a contract with Huayi in the future.

But now if you go to Hollywood to develop, isn't that just a release of Huayi pigeons?

It doesn't matter.

The key is that in this matter, Qin Muchu was involved and matched her with Huayi.

If the pigeon is Huayi, isn't that tantamount to playing Qin Muchu?

Moreover, Qin Muchu is also a shareholder of Huayi......

Thinking of this, Liu Xiqian shook her head decisively:

"I don't want to go to Hollywood."

"Sissi, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Xiaoli immediately motioned to Liu Xiqian with her eyes not to speak.

Then he looked at Fang Long and Li Lianjie:

"Big brother, Brother Jie, Sissi has always wanted to go to Hollywood, you are seniors, I don't know if there is any advice."

During this period of filming, she talked to Fang Long and Li Lianjie about whether she could help introduce Sissi to Hollywood.

These two are both superstars who are in Hollywood, and they must have connections over there.

"Mom, I don't want to go to Hollywood, I'm in China, it's good." Liu Xiqian spoke again.

also glanced at Qin Muchu, who was drooping his head.

She wouldn't backstab her friends for the sake of stardom.

Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

And Fang Long, who opened this conversation, saw this scene, and stopped talking, and laughed:

"It's good in China, don't I go back to China now?"

……

Night, hotel.

Hollywood blockbusters are not short of money, and they live in the best hotels.

The rooms were all suites, not the single rooms of Qin Muchu's hotel.

"Mom, why did you say I wanted to go to Hollywood, didn't you say that I would sign a contract with Huayi?" Liu Xiqian frowned and looked at Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli beat Liu Xiqian angrily,

"Can Huayi make you famous in Hollywood?"

"But we promised someone else!"

"I promised verbally, but I didn't sign a contract."

"But, but...... Aren't you playing tricks like this? Liu Xiqian was angry.

"Who's playing? Xiao Qin? He is your friend and must wish you a good development! ”

"You...... I won't say it, I just won't go to Hollywood anyway! ”

Liu Xiqian turned around angrily, walked directly into the bedroom, and closed the door with a "snap".
