A luxury villa in the mid-levels on Hong Kong Island.

In the study room on the second floor, three people sat around the coffee table.

Two of the older were quietly looking at the youngest one opposite.

"Door lock code '438'......"

Looking at the deleted part of the script of "House Demon" asking the door lock demon for the password, Qin Muchu nodded, the biggest problem with the script is to laugh at the American style, but now it has been replaced by a joke that the Celestial Empire can understand.

Closing the script, he said to Xu Chengcheng, who was looking forward to the opposite side:

"Yes."

Xu Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and revised it back and forth for more than a week, and this time he finally passed.

An indescribable excitement poured out of my heart.

Am I really going to direct a blockbuster with a cost of 300 million?

Temporarily suppressing his excitement, he looked at Qin Muchu and asked another question:

"Director Qin, since our movie is really about to start preparations, I don't think the name "Liaozhai House Demon" is not appropriate, should we change it?"

"The Demon of the House of Liaozhai" was just a random acquisition when he and Yuan Jinling wrote the script, because this is where the inspiration comes from.

But in fact, the content of the story is completely different from the real "House Demon", and the style is far from "Liao Zhai", just borrowing the image of the house demon in it.

"Well, it's not quite right."

Qin Muchu groaned.

The movie focuses on family comedy, and the monsters are all round and cute, which is completely different from the horror and supernatural of "Liao Zhai", and the name is likely to mislead the audience.

Just as he was thinking about what name to change, he noticed that Xu Chengyi looked like he wanted to say something.

I smiled in my heart, yes, this is self-inflicted.

So he said:

"What name does Director Xu want to change?"

"Monster Hunt."

Xu Chengyi blurted out, and he could see that he had thought about this name for a long time.

After a pause, he said with some embarrassment:

"If Director Qin thinks it's not good, you can change it, I can do it."

"No, it's good, you don't need to change it, just use this name to set up a project for approval."

Qin Muchu nodded in agreement.

"Monster hunting" is the theme of the movie, and adding a "memory" is also very ancient.

Moreover, the name gave him a sense of familiarity.

"Okay, then to celebrate that our "Monster Hunt" is about to be established, let's go to Long Jingxuan for a meal, his roast goose and caviar are a must. Director Qin came all the way to Hong Kong Island, and he also made me respect the friendship of the landlord. ”

After talking about such a project, Jiang Zhiqiang was also very happy, and immediately got up and said.

As he spoke, he was about to beckon the secretary to reserve a seat, but Qin Muchu waved his hand and refused apologetically:

"I promised to go back to dinner, Mr. Jiang, Director Xu, next time, next time I will entertain you well in Yanjing."

Hong Kong Island is a very small circle, especially the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island, which is even smaller.

I didn't force it, and laughed:

"I almost forgot, Director Qin will also be half of Hong Kong Island in the future."

Qin Muchu smiled, and it was not surprising that Jiang Zhiqiang knew about Zhou Huimin.

At that level, no one will be idle and have nothing to do to poke this thing out.

"Is it a nephew or a niece?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked again.

This is a very particular question.

Regardless of whether it is a "boy" or a "girl", but a "nephew" or "niece", the relationship is given first.

"It's only been nine weeks, and I don't know yet."

Qin Muchu shook his head.

The sex of the fetus can only be determined by B-ultrasound or other scientific means after three to four months of pregnancy, and Zhou Huimin is still too early.

However, because I am afraid that some people will not like boys or girls, I will beat the child, and it is not allowed to test the gender.

But this is only for ordinary people, and even the slightest relationship can be known in advance.

"Then you have to tell me that I have to prepare a full moon gift for the child." Jiang Zhiqiang said happily.

"Definitely, definitely."

The intent is clear.

got up and was about to leave, when suddenly Xu Chengcheng spoke:

"By the way, Director Qin, according to the image of the little demon king you chose, we have made a doll, you can see how it is."

He took out a small arm-length rectangular box from his schoolbag and handed it to Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu took the box and opened it with some curiosity.

On the night of the first talk about "Monster Hunt", he received four animations of the little demon king, and finally chose an image that resembles a radish.

Because Yang Mi and other women think this image is the most cute.

looked at the doll in the box, which was basically the same as the image in the animation that night, and pinched the handful of green hair on its head, and listened to Xu Chengcheng say:

"Director Qin, let's give the little demon king a name."

In the script, it has always been the title of "Little Demon King" and "Son of the Demon King", in fact, this character originally had a name, and Jiang Zhiqiang gave it.

However, before taking the script to Qin Muchu, Jiang Zhiqiang deleted the name he gave to the character and asked Qin Muchu to be the person who named the character.

"First ......"

Qin Muchu made a difficulty.

He has always named the characters by changing the names of the actors he plays.

But the little demon king is a special effects production, and there is no actor to play it.

So he said:

"I'll go back and think about it."

"Okay."

Xu Chengyi is not in a hurry.

The movie hasn't been approved yet, and it's even earlier than the release.

After talking about the matter, Jiang Zhiqiang and Xu Chengyi sent Qin Muchu out together.

When I arrived at the living room on the first floor, there was a "crackling" sound.

"Qin Sheng doesn't stay to eat?"

The woman dressed gracefully turned her head and saw Qin Muchu, stood up and asked with a smile.

Although he is over the age of sixties, he is well maintained and looks like a half-hundred.

"Promised to go back to dinner, Mrs. Jiang, you play yours."

Qin Muchu replied with a smile.

"Director Qin is really a good man for the Gu family."

Mrs. Jiang praised it, sat back in the chair and touched the cards again, and didn't keep it anymore.

This makes the invitation just now very insincere.

"Laughing." Jiang Zhiqiang apologized.

"Mr. Jiang is too polite."

Qin Muchu didn't take it to heart.

Hong Kong Island is a good gambler, both men and women.

Playing mahjong is very popular, especially rich wives, who often make appointments to play mahjong together.

This kind of stay at home, and it is a same-sex entertainment, and the husbands are also very relieved, so they don't have to worry about one day their hair becoming the same as the "little demon king", so they naturally approve.

"Chick!"

"Haha, huh! Hoo! ”

Listening to the sound coming from the card table, Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, and something seemed to flash in his mind.

……

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" twice, and then I heard a rush of "stepping" footsteps, the door opened, and I saw Zhou Huimin's face full of smiles.

"You ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head:

"Running again, what if I fall?"

"Gee, I'm not a kid anymore."

Zhou Huimin pouted, saw the box in Qin Muchu's hand, and asked:

"What is this?"

"The doll of the little demon king Huba."

Qin Muchu handed the box to Zhou Huimin.

Zhou Huimin also knew about "Monster Hunt", and she also participated in the selection of Huba's image at that time.

opened the box, looked at Xiao Huba's doll, and suddenly smiled:

"It's so cute~ Huba, has the name been decided? Why the name? ”

Qin Muchu told him about the inspiration he saw when he left Jiang Zhiqiang's house.

"Ah, did Mahjong Hu come up with it?"

Zhou Huimin was a little confused, she thought it would have some special meaning.

"Yes, Hu, Huba, it's all a beautiful expectation, I hope the movie will be a big success."

Qin Muchu was very satisfied with the name.

Zhou Huimin secretly rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice:

"You are not allowed to take the baby's name ...... in the future"

"What?"

Qin Muchu's ears were sharp and he heard the voice.

"Nothing ......"

With a "snap", Zhou Huimin covered his ass with one hand, touched his stomach with the other, and said in shame:

"Oops, baby, your dad beats mom, he's a badass......"

The two were arguing, and Zhou's mother walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, looked at the little couple, and greeted:

"It's time to eat."

Qin Muchu didn't mess with Zhou Huimin anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over the dishes.

"It's okay, it's not heavy."

Zhou's mother smiled.

In the past week, she has gradually become familiar with Qin Muchu.

"Auntie, just hire a nanny for this matter, in the future, Hui Min will have to ask someone to take care of her big belly, and you can't be busy alone."

Qin Muchu put the dishes on the table and persuaded.

In Hong Kong Island for a week, he can still help Zhou's mother cook together when he has time, but when he leaves, Zhou's mother is completely busy alone.

And for the nutrition of her daughter and future grandchildren, she still makes all kinds of nutritious meals that are not the same, which is very complicated.

"yes, Mom, or you're too tired."

"Little Jew" Zhou Huimin also came over to hold her mother's hand and wanted to spend the money.

"That'...... All right. ”

Zhou's mother hesitated but agreed.

She knows that her daughter and prospective son-in-law are not people who lack money, but they have been thrifty for so many years.

At the dinner table, the three of them also asked what kind of nanny to discuss.

"Is it for a special cook, or for a long stay?" Zhou Huimin took a bite of food and asked.

The aunt who specializes in cooking just comes to the meal, cooks a meal and leaves.

A long-term stay, on the other hand, is more comprehensive, with large and small chores at home, including but not limited to cooking, cleaning, laundry, and the like.

"Specialize in cooking, I'll do the rest." Zhou's mother said subconsciously.

But Qin Muchu said:

"Auntie, the doctor said that it was better for Huimin to eat less and eat more often, so please stay for a long time."

When it comes to her daughter's health, Zhou's mother will not refute it, but the question comes again:

"If you stay for a long time, you won't have enough room at home."

Zhou Huimin's "thousand-foot mansion" has a shared area of only more than 80 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room.

Zhou Huimin has a room, Zhou's mother has a room, and there is no other room for the nanny to live in.

However, this is not a problem for Qin Muchu:

"Then let's get a bigger house."

"Huh?" Zhou's mother obviously didn't react.

And Zhou Huimin knows that Qin Muchu is rich and does not treat money as money.

I didn't eat anymore, and pulled Qin Muchu's arm:

"Where is it so exaggerated, just change a house for this matter."

"It's not just for that."

Qin Muchu shook his head, he had thought about this matter a long time ago, but he only brought it up today:

"Change to a big house, firstly, the nanny has a place to live, and secondly, the community security is good. Have you forgotten that you are a star, what if you are targeted by the paparazzi? ”

"Zhou Huimin is pregnant, who is the father of the child", this news headline is very attractive at first glance.

The Hong Kong Island paparazzi are notoriously unscrupulous, and if something happens, it's too much to regret.

"I'll just be careful."

Zhou Huimin is still unwilling, the house on Hong Kong Island is very expensive.

"Yes, Xiao Qin, Auntie knows that you have money, but you can't waste it like this." Zhou's mother also persuaded.

However, Qin Muchu's determination has been decided:

"It's okay, Auntie, it's not a waste to buy a house, it's always appreciated, so it's an investment.

The new house is too late to live in, I asked people to find some renovated houses a few days ago, you can live directly, tomorrow we will go together to see, which one do you like. ”

……

At night, Zhou Huimin leaned on Qin Muchu's arms, and continued to persuade Qin Muchu not to buy a house according to his mother's instructions.

But after saying two words, the small mouth was directly pinched by Qin Muchu with his fingers.

"If you don't buy it now, you still have to buy it, and if you have a child in the future, take the child back to Hong Kong Island to see where your aunt lives?"

Zhou Huimin stopped talking.

Also, don't mention later.

Now Yang Mi and Zeng Li are staying in a hotel to see her, which is very inconvenient.

"Besides, this house was bought for Auntie, so you should have bought it from her."

Qin Muchu pinched Zhou Huimin's face and joked.

"Hmph, then you make a lot of money, I'm worth more than the house."

Zhou Huimin snorted, and his small fist hammered down on Qin Muchu's chest dissatisfiedly.

Qin Muchu held Zhou Huimin's hand:

"I'm going back to Yanjing tomorrow night, and if you haven't chosen a house yet, Sissi and Mimi will come to help you choose together."

After staying on Hong Kong Island for a week, he had to go back to Yanjing when he saw that Yanying's third test was about to start.

After all, choosing a house is not to go to the convenience store at the door to buy things, and one day is definitely not enough.

Zeng Li saw that "Ode to Joy" was about to start, and there was not much time, only Yang Mi and Liu Xiqian were still idle.

However, Yang Mi already has an arrangement - the heroine of "Monster Hunt".

And Liu Xiqian......

This girl's current position is actually quite awkward.

A "Inception" pushed her to a very high height, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the most popular female star of the young generation in China is not an exaggeration.

The TV series will definitely not be able to go back, but in terms of movies, this girl is also quite picky now, and some vase roles are not considered directly.

I'd rather pet cats and dogs at home all day long, and post my daily life on Weibo.

Previously, a reporter made a news of "who is the new Mou Girl of the Three Women", the content of which was that Yang Mi, Zhou Dongyu, and Tang Wei were photographed in front of Lao Mouzi's studio that day, speculating who the three girls were the heroines of "Hawthorn Tree".

Not to mention, this news is quite popular, and it has been the headline for several days in a row.

The fire somehow burned to Liu Xiqian, because some fans who had read the original work of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" felt that these three people were not suitable.

Yang Mi looks too charming, Tang Wei is old, and the mysterious girl is too peaceful.

In the end, it was proposed that Liu Xiqian was very suitable.

It's beautiful and pure, and the body is good.

Liu Xiqian's fans were happy, and directly captured Zhang Yimou's Weibo one by one.

Lao Mouzi is also a real person, although because of secrecy, he did not reveal who played Jingqiu, but he still said that the actor had been decided, not Liu Xiqian.

And then...... The old man was cyberbullied on Weibo for the first time.

The excited Liu Xiqian fans asked him not to be ignorant, if Liu Xiqian played "Hawthorn Tree", it would help him save the reputation of "Three Guns".

also took out the comparison of "Inception" and "Three Guns" on Douban and the box office.

Fortunately, Liu Xiqian found out in time and stopped those fans by posting on Weibo, saying that Director Zhang was an elder senior whom she respected very much, and also posted a group photo taken on the set of "Love Letter".

It's happy, and it's obviously a good relationship.

Fans saw that this was a friendly army, and they couldn't spray it.

But it's uncomfortable not to spray.

After all, the goddess has never had a new movie, who do we watch?

Looking at the group photo again, there is a man in the corner who seems to be a little familiar.

As soon as the muzzle of the gun turned, they began to bully Qin Muchu online!

You are the director and the boss of Liu Xiqian, why don't you ask Qianqian to act? Why is "Inception 2" not released yet?

Liu Xiqian also found out in time, but instead of stopping it, she added fuel to the fire and happily praised some comments that were funny.

also sent a pitiful message, "Don't scold, I will be hidden by the boss."

Qin Muchu can imagine the big teeth that Liu Xiqian revealed when editing this Weibo.

But this incident, coupled with the urging of Prospect Tian, also made him seriously think about his next movie.

If you make a sci-fi blockbuster, Liu Xiqian can ......

Suddenly, his body stiffened, and his thoughts stopped abruptly.

Zhou Huimin in his chest is gone.

So, is this the reward for knowing that you will stay on Hong Kong Island for the last night?

I knew that I had lied to Zhou Huimin every night this week that I was leaving tomorrow......
