Chapter 206: It's Not That Hard to Deal With (4/5)

She was also a little surprised...

After all, Shen Mengxi's itinerary didn't tell her.

"Mom... This is Mengxi, you two have already met!"

Mother Liu didn't care about Shen Mengxi, got up, and greeted her with a smile: "I'm back, are you injured today?"

"Fortunately, I mainly practice my body today, and I don't have so many movements..."After answering her mother's words, she looked at Shen Mengxi: "You came here, why didn't you call me in advance?"

"I'm mainly going to Los Angeles, and I'm going to New York by the way..."

Liu Yifei handed the bag to his mother, and then asked him: "Go to New York? Are you going to your own company?

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "... Earn a little bit..."

Mother Liu asked casually, "What is the Human Eradication Plan?"

"A horror film released some time ago, with a cost of $3 million and a box office of $69 million in the United States, is scheduled to be the most profitable movie this year!

“... He... He's a director?"

"No, he's the investor, and he's the only investor! You don't know, I've heard Lauren Donner praise him every day for half a month, saying that any idea he has is a gold mine... And I heard that the sequel to "Human Erasure Project" has been established?"

"Yes, it will be released in June next year... This time it's over to Universal Distribution..."

"Wait a minute!" Liu's mother was shocked: "Single-handed?"

"He has a company in New York called Dream Creek Studios, and he also makes some films..."

“... I just tried my luck, the American version of "Rose Red Lotus" has some commercial elements that are big hits, and I used them all in "Human Eradication Project"..."

"Tsk," Liu Yifei shook his head in a matter-of-fact manner: "It's too modest, just a movie has become the most profitable of the year!"

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "How can it be the most profitable? At most, it can be regarded as small and broad, and the most profitable is always a big-budget entertainment film! No matter how powerful a horror film is, it is only a marginal theme, and it cannot be released in the mainland." ”

"And how much do you say you've earned?"

Shen Mengxi scratched his head: "... How can I say that?"

"Is there 100 million dollars?"

“... Not so much, plus TV rights, Internet rights, and DVD rental rights, almost $70 million..."

Shen Mengxi knew that Liu Yifei was showing off him, so he simply blew up the actual number!

After deducting the division's commission of 70 million US dollars, there is almost 60 million left...

Mother Liu looked at Shen Mengxi: "It's amazing! No wonder many people on the Internet praise you for being naturally suitable for making movies!"

The tone is a lot kinder, not as indifferent as before...

"Still, how did you come up with the idea of making a horror movie?"

Shen Mengxi replied: "The North American film market needs independent films and horror films, compared with the saturation of commercial films in North America, the independent film market has a vast uncultivated mass population. ”

"Compared with local filmmakers in North America, I'm an outsider after all, and it's not good to get involved in mainstream movies, so I make horror movies and... Other types of tablets. ”

I wanted to say cyan film, but in front of Liu's mother, I'm embarrassed...

Liu Yifei answered: "He originally wrote horror..."

“... You two talk, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look..."

Liu's mother took the initiative to leave...

......

Liu Yifei grabbed before Shen Mengxi spoke: "Why did you come suddenly?"

“... I'm going to work!"

"Don't say hello in advance!"

“... I didn't know you would let Auntie come over!"

"She's alone in the country, and I'm not at ease. ”

Shen Mengxi nodded: "It's understandable." ”

But it's still embarrassing, how can it be so coincidental?

You said that if she had her back to her, Shen Mengxi couldn't tell the object, so she stepped forward and hugged her, what should she do?

"You're really here to work?"

"Mainly to see you... Work by the way. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took her in his arms...

"Phew!" Liu Yifei glanced at him, and by the way, pulled his evil hand down: "... I've heard that you've made a lot of noise in China, why do you have time to come and see me?"

"What a big move?"

"Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo gathered in a play..."

"Oh, you mean 'Before Dawn'... It's a TV series, what, you have an idea?"

Liu Yifei asked rhetorically: "Did you invite me?"

"Hundreds of millions of elite soldiers are not enough to pay you?"

After pondering for a while, Lao Liu spat him again...

"But the heroine of that play doesn't have a strong sense of existence, if you have an idea, you can return to China next year to shoot "Those Years"..."

Liu Yifei nodded: "I read the book... There's a kiss scene, or a tongue kiss!"

“... Well, you're an actor, can't you stand this?"

"Who is the male lead?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, it's really hard to find someone worthy of you..."

"You play the leading role!"

“... What are you kidding? How can I act!"

Shen Mengxi didn't think about it, and directly refused.

"Then I make a kiss scene with someone else, do you feel good?"

"It's uncomfortable..."

The main reader is uncomfortable...

"Then you come with me!"

“... Let's talk about it. ”

Drag it out first, how to write, and then talk about it.

......

A table full of dishes, after Shen Mengxi sat down, he quickly made an expression of disbelief: "These are all made by Auntie?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it, because there was a plate of fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, and the cutting method of bamboo shoots was obviously mechanical...

But it's the kind of angular and angular, pentagonal...

Sure enough, Liu's mother was a little embarrassed: "No, it was the aunt from the Chinese restaurant who came to the house to make it... I'll just warm it up. ”

“... Well..."

Shen Mengxi could only shut up...

Zhen Nyima is aggrieved, and a bunch of praise words are ready!

Liu Yifei said: "Hurry up and eat, you can eat a Chinese-style meal in the United States, be content!"

“... Yes..."

So I bowed my head and ate...

Mother Liu asked, "Do you drink?"

"Don't drink...", I regretted it again, because Mother Liu poured half a glass of red wine into her cup......

What's wrong with me stepping on a horse?

Why did you choose all the wrong questions?

Liu Yifei took the red wine, got up, and poured half a glass into his cup: "He can drink a little, not much!"

"I'm going to have jet lag, so..."

"Just a little drink?"

"Okay..."

Shen Mengxi picked up the wine glass, touched it with Liu's mother, and then took a sip...

The taste is not bad, too sweet.

It is estimated that it is the kind sold in supermarkets for 3 yuan and 9 dollars a bottle...

Noted down!

The meal was not embarrassing or embarrassing, Aunt Liu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks by herself, and didn't let him touch these...

It's good, Shen Mengxi hates washing dishes the most!

Push the door and go for a walk.

......

Liu Yifei put on a hat and followed Shen Mengxi.

Nearby is the Cape Montauk Lighthouse, which is the filming location where Aquaman's parents met at the Lighthouse.

Generally speaking, where there is a lighthouse at sea, it means that the wind and waves are strong and the sea conditions are complicated.

But no, Long Island is a wealthy area, with villas sandwiched between trees and gardens, and roads crisscrossed like cobwebs.

The scenery is naturally beautiful!

After walking for about half an hour, when he arrived at the beach, Shen Mengxi pointed to a villa group over there and said: "Three Lakes Villa, worth 76 million US dollars, the first of the top ten luxury houses in the United States!"

“... 76 million?"

"Well, it's almost 550 million yuan, but this year's subprime mortgage crisis, the price should drop a little, and now I start, it is estimated that 60 million US dollars is about the same!"

Liu Yifei estimated, and then said, "Then you can afford it!"

Shen Mengxi smiled: "I can afford it, but I can't afford to pay the property tax, the property tax in the United States is very disgusting, and I have to pay it every year, and with such a big villa, it is lonely to live, so it is not very interesting." ”

"Property tax?"

"About 1.75 percent, our house has to be handed over to the New York government for 5,000 dollars a year!"

“... What if you don't meet?"

"Repossess the house, deport!"

"Is it so disgusting?"

"So, I only bought one house in New York, and I haven't thought about it in Los Angeles yet!"

The two chatted while walking, Shen Mengxi remembered the red wine he had just drunk, and said, "Yifei, there is a wine cabinet in the basement, I put a lot of wine, let my aunt drink that next time." ”

"Basement?"

"You haven't been, have you?"

“... It's pitch black, what am I doing there?"

“... Who told you that the basement is dark, and there is a light!"

Liu Yifei nodded, then grabbed him and asked seriously, "How do you feel about my mother?"

"It's okay, it's not as difficult to get along as I imagined!"
