On the fully transparent observation deck on the large flat floor, the dripping raindrops hit the glass, and quickly flowed down the glass, forming crooked traces, reflecting the distorted and broken scenery outside.

"Come on, Zhou Jiaolun, pull the monster! Pull the monster! ”

"There's pulling, there's pulling, don't worry!"

The sound of passionate shouts and crackling keyboard taps made the glass of the observation deck seem to tremble.

Qin Muchu's gaze moved from the book in his hand to the two Internet addicts not far away...... Youth - Zhou Jiaolun, Yang Mi.

One is in his twenties, the other is almost thirty, and it is obviously inappropriate to call him a teenager.

These two are not playing "Warcraft" now, but have played online games.

The kind of kryptonite.

"That is, when I became a star, normal children still stay up late playing games at this age, and it is estimated that my parents are worried about how to get married and live in the future."

Shaking his head, he put the book aside, rubbed his eyes slightly, and yawned.

After the concert, Zhou Jiaolun refused the invitation of a group of friends to go to the nightclub to have a hi, and he was so "disappointed" that he took Qin Muchu home, and Yang Mi and Zhou Huimin were also together.

Zhou Jiaolun's large flat is big enough, and there is no pressure for three more people to live.

Of course, bringing two girls home is not a matter of being unable to live, but an inconvenient thing.

If Qin Muchu was not there, he would definitely stay in a hotel.

Qin Muchu got up and wanted to pour a glass of water, but saw that Zhou Huimin, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the sofa opposite, had already fallen on his back on the sofa at this time, his small mouth was slightly open, a strand of hair was on his lips, and his breath was blown up and down.

It's kind of funny.

asked Zhou Huimin to go to sleep a long time ago, but she refused, she had to wait for Yang Mi to go to bed.

It is not certain whether Yang Mi sleeps tonight or not.

Qin Muchu stood up, walked lightly to Zhou Huimin's side, carefully brushed away the strands of hair that were blowing around, lifted her chin with one hand, closed her slightly open mouth, and pinched her small nose with the other.

After a while, Zhou Huimin, who felt that he was having difficulty breathing, was awakened, his thin moth brows furrowed, and his two hands waved wildly to open Qin Muchu's hand.

I also opened my confused eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Huimin slept a little dazed, her voice was glutinous and small, and her expression was aggrieved, as if she had been bullied.

"Come with me."

Qin Muchu said a word, then turned around and walked away.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhou Huimin rubbed his eyes and couldn't get an answer, but he still obediently followed Qin Muchu.

One of the distinguishing features of a rich man's mansion is that the lights are not turned off – even if the room is not occupied now.

Qin Muchu took Zhou Huimin into a guest room, which was the room where Zhou Huimin and Yang Mi rested at night.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhou Huimin lowered his head and looked at Qin Muchu carefully, his fingers tangled.

I don't know if it's Qin Muchu's illusion, he seems to have heard some expectations from Zhou Huimin's voice.

Without much thought, he took out his phone and looked at the time.

Eleven fifty-five p.m.

"It's still too late."

He muttered, and went to pull the curtains in his room.

Zhou Huimin's face turned red, until he reached his ears, pointed at Qin Muchu and asked:

"Little pervert, why are you pulling the curtains?"

However, the body does not do anything to stop it.

Suddenly, her voice paused:

"Didn't the curtains fit in the first place? Why did you pull it away? ”

Qin Muchu glanced at Zhou Huimin strangely,

"How can you see it if you don't pull it open?"

Zhou Huimin was stunned for a moment, then raised two eyebrows, walked to Qin Muchu and beat him:

"Perverted! Who are you going to see! Perverted! ”

Qin Muchu was stunned, what is this big fool doing?

Grabbed her two hands and didn't let her continue to beat herself, although it didn't hurt, it was like being coquettish.

It is completely incomparable to the power of Yang Mi's boxing technique.

"Is it sick, how do you look at the painting if I don't open the curtains? Do you see through the eyes? Little Jew. ”

"Don't call me a little Jew! You're the little Jew! Slam the door and have a black heart! Thinking about squeezing employees all day long! ”

Zhou Huimin immediately began to think in pieces, and every time he said a word, he poked Qin Muchu's chest, and he had a lot of resentment.

Qin Muchu leaned against the wall with his hands around him, letting her poke at her, looking at her without saying a word.

Sure enough, within two seconds, Zhou Huimin finally grasped the key point in Qin Muchu's words and looked up at Qin Muchu:

"Painting? What paintings? ”

Qin Muchu leaned against the wall and pointed to the right.

Zhou Huimin immediately looked at it.

When the curtain opened, it revealed not floor-to-ceiling windows, but a huge rectangle about the size of the wall, which was covered in black cloth.

"This ...... Is it a painting? ”

Zhou Huimin looked at Qin Muchu suspiciously.

If this is a painting, it will be too big, one wall is just put down, and the wall of Zhou Jiaolun's room is not small.

And I don't understand, if this is really a painting, why does Qin Muchu want her to look at it......

Don't......

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhou Huimin couldn't believe it, and his eyes blinked:

"Birthday present?"

Yes, today is not only the day of Zhou Jiaolun's concert, November 10, but also her birthday.

Tonight's concert, Zhou Jiaolun also specially prepared a big cake for her and sang a birthday song.

Some of the rest of the good friends also gave gifts in advance.

Yang Mi gave a homemade bracelet, Liu Xiqian gave a cub under her own kitten, and Zeng Li gave a Buddha-shaped pendant, which is said to have been opened by the master.

Zhou Jiaolun also gave Zhou Huimin a violin from his early days.

It's not a valuable gift, but it's full of friendship.

Only Qin Muchu didn't say anything.

This is also the reason why Zhou Huimin's "resentment" is so big just now.

……

"Uncover it for yourself."

Qin Muchu pouted.

Zhou Huimin's eyes were full of irrepressible joy, he reached out and grabbed the black cloth, took a deep breath, and slammed it hard.

The black cloth undulates and falls like a wave of water, revealing the true face of the painting hidden behind it.

In the painting, the girl bends forward, her hands are propped on her knees, and she is smiling like a flower facing forward, mischievous and energetic.

The eyebrows and eyes are crooked and shining, as if they are looking at people outside the painting.

"Wow."

Zhou Huimin covered her mouth, and the surprise on her face could no longer be hidden.

The girl in the painting is exactly her.

"Ahh......h Did you draw it? ”

She couldn't help the excitement in her heart, and took Qin Muchu's hand and shook it for a while.

"Well, a birthday present."

Qin Muchu nodded.

When I saw this painting, I still had some waist pain.

Everyone else gave Zhou Huimin a birthday gift, and he was naturally no exception.

I originally wanted to buy a piece of jewelry casually, but Yang Mi and these people ...... It's too rolly.

I have to do something courteous and affectionate.

He doesn't have much to offer, the only thing that suits him is a painting.

So I painted this huge painting.

I've been doing this since I came to Taipei, and I didn't even listen to the movie soundtrack that Zhou Jiaolun made for him.

I worked fifteen or sixteen hours a day and painted for nearly ten days.

Don't feel as if this is nothing, after all, such a big painting can be painted for a year or two.

But what kind of person is Qin Muchu.

Human flesh camera, drawing machine without emotion.

Painting has two characteristics: one is like, and the other is fast.

It's not easy to let him draw a picture for ten days, after all, he can finish two movies in ten days - the kind of comic strip.

"Who's the little Jew now?"

Qin Muchu tilted his head and looked at Zhou Huimin.

This girl is now full of paintings, and her face is full of obsession and admiration.

Hearing Qin Muchu's words, he lowered his head a little embarrassed, his lips squirmed, and he couldn't hear what he said.

Qin Muchu didn't speak, and he could fully understand Zhou Huimin's excitement at this time.

Just kidding, such a big picture.

If someone gave him a portrait of this size on his birthday, he would have ...... with that person on the spot Bye-on-the-brat.

"Impressed? Do you want to cry? ”

Qin Muchu crossed Zhou Huimin's head.

At the same time, he made up his mind that if Zhou Huimin dared to say that he was not moved, he would ...... A punch knocked her to tears.

Since you can't be moved "from the inside out", it doesn't hurt to be moved "from the outside in".

Painting for more than ten hours a day, painting with back pain, I myself am moved, you are not moved?

Fortunately, Zhou Huimin nodded slightly, allowing Qin Muchu to withdraw the outstretched fist that was secretly poked and poked.

Qin Muchu nodded with satisfaction.

patted Zhou Huimin's shoulder again:

"You pose the same as in the painting, I don't see if it looks like it."

He painted this picture because he had no references, so he relied purely on his imagination.

However, his current imagination is also somewhat inhuman, and any picture can appear in his mind with imagination, as clear as watching TV with his eyes.

With this ability, small websites are no longer needed.

"Good!"

Zhou Huimin happily stood in front of the painting and posed in the same pose, revealing a bright smile.

Qin Muchu looked at it, comparing the painting and the person, silently comparing the differences.

After a while, he waved his hand and said:

"Well, except for a few places, it doesn't make a difference."

Zhou Huimin walked next to Qin Muchu in two steps, turned around and looked at the painting with him.

"What's the difference?"

"Look there."

Qin Muchu pointed to a place.

Zhou Huimin looked at Qin Muchu's finger.

"It's no different."

"Don't brag, you have that big breasts?"

“…… Qin - Mu - Chu! ”

……

Qin Muchu felt the "whirring" wind constantly lapping his face, and opened his eyes in a daze.

"it!"

As soon as he woke up, he saw a face that was only a few dozen centimeters away from him, and Qin Muchu was so frightened that he slapped that face.

However, in the next second, his hand was clasped, not only unable to exert force, but also very painful.

At this time, he also came to his senses and recognized the face.

scolded angrily:

"Yang Mi, are you sick! Why don't you sleep with me? ”

Yang Mi didn't speak, just let go of Qin Muchu's hand, and squinted at Qin Muchu:

"You painted that painting in the room?"

Qin Muchu sat up, leaned against the bedside table, and exhaled a long breath.

At this time, the heart is still pounding.

"Yes, I did."

Although Yang Mi had already known the answer, she still felt a sense of bitterness in her heart when she heard Qin Muchu confirm it in person.

It's like eating bitter gourd soaked in vinegar.

She suddenly grabbed Qin Muchu's collar, approached his face, and stared at Qin Muchu's eyes:

"Why did you draw for Sister Hui Min?"

Qin Muchu was silent for a while, and then said:

"Did you brush your teeth? It's all smelly. ”

Yang Mi, who had a serious face just now, instantly broke the gong,

"Nonsense, your mouth smells!"

As she spoke, she let go of Qin Muchu, covered her mouth with her hand, sniffed, and frowned.

It seems to have a little bit of flavor.

I stayed up late last night to play the game and got on fire! Yes, it must be!

Qin Muchu took advantage of Yang Mi's anger to get out of bed, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside and looked at the time, it was only half past six in the morning.

It was just dawn.

Pull back the curtains and let the light in.

Qin Muchu yawned:

"Did you not sleep or did you wake up?"

"Didn't sleep...... Don't change the topic, let me ask you why you painted Sister Huimin, and painted such a big one! ”

Yang Mi's eyes were unblinking, and her expression was serious.

"Birthday present, today...... Wasn't it her birthday yesterday? You've all sent it, can I still not send it? ”

Qin Muchu stretched his waist and walked to the bathroom in the room.

Yang Mi was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and immediately followed.

"Why do you want to give a painting for your birthday? And it's that big? ”

"What's the reason for that, and why are you sending bracelets? I thought of it, and I just happened to be able to draw, otherwise what would I give, make a movie and send it to her? Qin Muchu took it for granted.

Yang Mi didn't have anything to refute for a while, gritted her teeth and struggled for a long time before she said:

"You'll have to draw one for my birthday too!"

Her birthday this year has passed, and in September, Qin Muchu was in Venice at that time and gave a bag.

"Okay."

Qin Muchu squeezed out the toothpaste and began to brush his teeth.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his lower back.

Stared at Yang Mi, who screwed him and walked away, and scolded:

"Yang Mi, go to the hospital to see the brain department!"

"Humph!"

The only thing that responded to him was Yang Mi's cold snort.

Qin Muchu rubbed his waist.

This girl doesn't know what nerves she has.

Could it be...... Feel like your gift is inferior to hers?

It must be so!

……

I originally planned to listen to Zhou Jiaolun's soundtrack for the movie today, but this guy played games with Yang Mi last night until more than five o'clock in the morning, and slept like a dead pig at this time.

It looks like I won't be able to wake up until the afternoon.

Yang Mi made a fuss about Qin Muchu early in the morning, and also went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

During this period, when Qin Muchu walked past her and Zhou Huimin's room, she also heard Zhou Huimin's exclamation, and the voices of "Mimi, don't make trouble" and "Sister Huimin let me touch it" came intermittently.

The amount of information was too much, and Qin Muchu didn't dare to listen to it more.

When I opened the refrigerator of Zhou Jiaolun's house, unexpectedly, there were a lot of ingredients in it.

It is estimated that it was prepared by Zhou's mother.

I didn't see Zhou's mother and grandmother this time, saying that I had returned to my hometown in the countryside.

I made a simple breakfast with the available ingredients - egg noodles, and sat on the sofa and looked at the computer.

Mostly entertainment news.

Sure enough, last night's Zhou Jiaolun's concert occupied major headlines.

In addition to the news of "the Asian King concert is full and the atmosphere is hot", the supporting singers, including the star audience present, have also received a lot of attention.

Moreover, there are some celebrity viewers who didn't even know about Zhou Jiaolun and didn't give the camera at the scene, but they were captured by the paparazzi and reported it.

The song "Mine Mine" sung by Qin Muchu has been highly discussed, and fans are asking what the title of the song is and why they haven't heard it.

Some viewers even heard that "Mine Mine" and "I Don't Deserve It" used the same accompaniment, so they were even more curious.

One accompaniment, different lyrics, actually sang two feelings.

However, these are all Zhou Jiaolun's affairs, and Qin Muchu does not plan to respond.

At that time, if Zhou Jiaolun wants the song "Mine Mine", just give him the lyrics.

After watching the news, there was nothing special, and I was just about to turn off the computer, paused, and typed "Berlin Film Festival" in the search bar.

After all, I have to sign up for this film festival, but I still know very little about it.

After looking at the list of winners of the "Golden Bear Award" at the Berlin Film Festival, Qin Muchu was surprised to find that "Berlin" is still quite friendly to Chinese directors.

The first Chinese to win the Golden Bear Award was the Celestial Dynasty, Lao Mouzi's "Red Sorghum", and then Li Yu won it twice, Xie Fei won it once, and Wang Quan'an won it once.

And Wang Quanan won it this year, "Tuya Marriage".

To be honest, Qin Muchu had never heard of the director Wang Quanan before, nor had he seen his works.

Including this "Tuya Marriage", which won the Golden Bear Award.

After checking it out, I found out that this director is also his old senior, Yan Ying graduated from an art film director, and the movies he made are quite literary and artistic, and he has won many awards.

It's just not very famous.

Qin Muchu didn't know what kind of fame he was in the circle, because he rarely had contact with the circle, but there was definitely no fame outside the circle.

Because Qin Muchu has never heard of this director in his life, let alone seen his movies.

It stands to reason that the director who won the Golden Bear Award is not at the same level as Lao Mouzi, but at least he is worthy of Feng Datie.

As a result, there was no movement at all.

This made Qin Muchu even more convinced that Berlin is focused on participation.

He is not a person who has a great attachment to art films, in fact, his aesthetic for films is similar to that of most ordinary audiences.

The kind of art film that has a boring plot, or uses extreme dark pain to express a certain thought, he understands but doesn't like it.

Including "Lust and Caution", he admires the filming technique of this movie, the rhythm of the plot, and the tension of using passion scenes to express feelings, but he will not watch this movie a second time.

If you watch it for the second time, it's definitely not because you want to see it, but because you look at it with a learning attitude.

To put it simply, he watched "Lust and Caution" not as a movie, but as how to make this movie.

Regardless of the identity of the director, from the perspective of an audience, he prefers movies such as "The Gift of Room No. 7", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and "Journey to the West".

There are thoughts, and the story is wonderful.

This may be the difference between what Lao Mouzi said about their generation of directors and a new generation of directors like Qin Muchu.

Growing up in different eras, I have different understandings of the world, and I have different aesthetics of movies.

But it is undeniable that commercial films are the mainstream of films, and only commercial films can drive the development of the film industry.

If they all go to make art films, the salary in the entertainment industry is not as much as making screws in the factory.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the Oscar, which takes into account both "artistic" and "commercial", is an award with relatively high "gold content".

If only it wasn't discriminatory and politically correct.

Turning off the search interface of "Berlin Film Festival", Qin Muchu typed in "Oscar" again.

Suddenly, a whole bunch of information appeared.

And the latest, and most prominent, is "Lust and Caution" impacting the Oscars.
