The weather was slightly cooler in October, and Wan Xiaohu returned to the capital from Hong Kong. Meeting up with Su Ya and Li Xia who came to pick them up at the airport, they said goodbye to Wang Zhonglei and his entourage, and packed large and small bags of souvenirs into Su Ya¡¯s Volkswagen. "Tiger, welcome to undergo the test and return to the socialist family." Su Ya said exaggeratedly as the car started on the road. Wan Xiaohu stretched his waist. He had slept all the way on the plane and his back was sore. Although I didn't move, I just felt tired: "Oh, I was served delicious food and drinks in Hong Kong, and there were beautiful women walking around the streets with me. I really don't want to come back. But when I think that my motherland still needs me, my forehead gets hot. With high morale, he blocked the sugar-coated bullets. "Is life in Hong Kong so comfortable? There are beautiful women accompanying you when shopping?" Li Xia became interested. "Needless to say, who am I now? A well-known director, no one can support me." Wan Xiaohu told the lie without any shame, "By the way, am I famous here in mainland China?" "Not only popular, It's almost cooked. There are overwhelming reports about "The Butterfly Effect", and I can't wait to praise the movie to the heavens. It is the first true science fiction film in domestic movies. This title is already confirmed. Now we are waiting for the movie to be released. Let¡¯s see if the market is really hyped up.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s guaranteed to be a big hit at the box office.¡± Wan Xiaohu arrived at the company soon. He couldn¡¯t wait to find the newspapers collected by the company during this period and browsed them one by one. There are Huayi Brothers behind the scenes, there are Hong Kong media taking the lead, and domestic newspapers are also reporting very fiercely, and they are very likely to praise "The Butterfly Effect" to the sky. "Beijing Youth Daily", which has a good relationship with Dandelion, reported this: "After the 1980s, there is Han Han in literature and Wan Xiaohu in director. Han Han is still tinkering in the mainland, while Wan Xiaohu has rushed to Hong Kong. "Butterfly Effect" has four screenings in Hong Kong. It received rave reviews, and agents rushed to seek copyright representation. The era of domestic science fiction movies has arrived" "Huang Zhizhi is very good at doing news. He speaks with facts." After reading the report, Wan Xiaohu found out that he was an old acquaintance. Huang Zhizhi, the reporter who first reported on his fight, immediately laughed. The current "Beijing Youth Daily" has been successfully publicized by Dandelion. When encountering such a situation, it will naturally spare no effort to help promote it. And other newspapers, thanks to Huayi Brothers¡¯ public relations, also touted it. What movies conquered Hong Kong, what domestic science fiction masterpieces are on par with Hollywood, what Hong Kong directors worship, and what spring is coming for domestic films. Even before watching the movie, the reporters racked their brains to praise it, as if they were there when it was screened. "In addition, "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" is being aired in the second round on major TV stations. The popularity of the leading actors Chen Kun and Zhou Xun has made "Butterfly Effect" even more popular, and the audience is screaming in anticipation. "The Butterfly Effect is so popular right now, but I wonder if it can make a splash again at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival." Su Ya said casually, flipping through the souvenirs Wan Xiaohu brought back. Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "Whether you can win the award depends on whether the Huayi Brothers have exerted enough strength." The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has been a bit funny from the beginning when it was co-organized. Because of this film festival, there are two awards to be awarded, one is the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films and the other is the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Films. One film festival, two film awards, seems a bit nondescript. What¡¯s even more funny is that these two film awards also like double-yolked eggs and triplets. For each award, several people like to win at the same time. There is no need to speculate on the meaning of arranging fruits side by side. You can see clearly with just a little bit of eye contact. "However, you are lucky to be able to get a share of the fruits. No matter how bad the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is, it is still an annual Chinese film event. When you win awards, you gain fame, and when you gain fame, you gain benefits. "I think "Waiting Alone" is more likely to win the Hundred Flowers Award, while "The Butterfly Effect" can only compete for the Golden Rooster Award." Li Xia said. The Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award, which is voted on by the audience and requires popularity. The Golden Rooster Award is an expert award, selected by experts after research. "Mom said, life is like a piece of chocolate, you never know what you will get." Wan Xiaohu smiled rather obscenely and answered with a line from "Forrest Gump". At the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, it¡¯s great to win an award, but it doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s a failure if you don¡¯t win. Compared with awards, Wan Xiaohu values ????the new film meeting during the film festival. Many media will focus here, and screeners and distributors from all over the country will also come to buy and sell films. A great future lies in the film festival. After having a fun time in the company and handing out the souvenirs he brought to people he knew, Wan Xiaohu returned to the bedroom to rest with the fatigue of flying. There are still two weeks until the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. What's going on?There is no need to rush. Wan Xiaohu slept until about four o'clock in the afternoon when Wan Xiaohu was woken up by a burst of hunger. ¡°I arrived in the capital in the morning and went to bed without eating. It seemed that Li Xia came and shouted once at noon, and Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t get up in a hazy state. After washing his face, Wan Xiaohu opened the refrigerator, looking for something to eat. The refrigerator was empty. "Dizzy, so clean?" Extremely disappointed, Wan Xiaohu had no choice but to change into a set of clean clothes and prepare to go out for a meal. At this time, the cell phone rang. After answering the call, Wan Xiaohu was surprised to find that it was Zhou Xun who called. "Hey, Zhou Xun, what's the matter?" "I went to Huayi Brothers at noon. I heard that you guys are back from Hong Kong I heard that "The Butterfly Effect" was very successful. Congratulations to you." "You also have a share of everyone's contribution. Be conservative. To put it bluntly, although the response from the screening is good, it remains to be verified how it will be received in the market. However, I personally have always been confident about the film. " "You have always been a confident person," Zhou Xun smiled. Wan Xiaohu laughed loudly: "There is no way, I don't know what it means to have no confidence." "That's right." Zhou Xun agreed, and then fell silent. Wan Xiaohu didn't know what to say. After a long while, he asked: "What are you doing now?" "Watching TV. I have nothing to do in the past few days. What about you?" "I just woke up. I'm starving and there's nothing at home. I'm going to go out and find a restaurant to eat. " "How can I do that? It's not good for my health to eat out all the time. It's not hygienic. I have no choice. I'm single and there's no one to cook for me. " "How about come to my house. I'm going to cook a big dinner for you tonight." "Cooking a big dinner?" "Haha, today is my birthday. My parents are not around, so I just want to celebrate it by myself. "Really, it's your birthday, then I'll go and celebrate your birthday." After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu looked up at the sky, thinking about what kind of birthday gift to give Zhou Xun. To be honest, the relationship between him and Zhou Xun was a bit delicate. It was originally just the relationship between director and actor, but that night of indulgence made everything complicated. Wan Xiaohu wanted to draw his gun and leave calmly, but he was still a little worried. Zhou Xun wants to embrace a new life, Wan Xiaohu has already decided to let it go, and now there is this phone call again. After a while, Wan Xiaohu grinned: "What am I worried about? Live a chic life, never mind it!" After saying that, he went to the company to get Su Ya's car keys and drove to the flower shop to buy flowers. Women are emotional creatures, so sending flowers is the most appropriate thing. "Sir, who do you want to give it to? Is it your girlfriend?" Wan Xiaohu touched his chin: "It's between a girlfriend and a friend. How do you want to give it to me?" "If that's the case, I recommend Lily Liangdao. Three stems, about ten red roses and pink carnations, purple forget-me-nots, and orioles are used to surround the grass. Gypsophila be embellished between the flowers to make a bouquet, and pink wrinkled paper is used to surround it. This is both beautiful and generous. " "Then. Okay, here it is.¡± After wrapping up the flowers and paying the money, Wan Xiaohu drove to Zhou Xun¡¯s home in a short while. Before getting out of the car, I looked at the rearview mirror and then held the flowers. After ringing the doorbell, Zhou Xun wearing an apron opened the door after a while. "Happy birthday to you, birthday boy." Wan Xiaohu immediately handed over the bouquet. Zhou Xun held the flowers and smiled brightly: "Thank you, come in quickly." Putting the flowers in the vase, Zhou Xun was busy making a cup of tea for Wan Xiaohu: "Drink a cup of tea first, and turn on the TV for a while. I The food is still in the pot. It will get burnt later. I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯re busy with your work. I¡¯ll watch TV absentmindedly for more than ten minutes. Zhou Xun was busy in the kitchen. Soon, plates of fragrant dishes were served on the table. There are all kinds of meat and vegetables, including a pot of chicken soup. Now Zhou Xun has just been promoted to the fourth female star. She is incomparable with international actresses such as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. She often cooks for herself and has developed good cooking skills. "It looks delicious." Wan Xiaohu rubbed his palms and felt that his stomach could no longer bear it. When Zhou Xun brought all the dishes, Wan Xiaohu no longer cared about the image, picked up meat dishes, chicken legs and duck legs, and gnawed them down. "Do you want to drink?" Zhou Xun couldn't help laughing when he saw Wan Xiaohu eating the food in a hurry. Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t even raise his head: ¡°Do you have a drink? I don¡¯t want to drink anymore. In the past few days in Hong Kong, I have been invited to drink every day. I feel like my stomach is?It feels uncomfortable to be soaked in wine. " "You should drink less and don't cherish your body. I'll get a drink. " Drinking drinks and eating delicious food, Wan Xiaohu felt that life was so beautiful. The food Zhou Xun cooked at home was much more delicious than the greasy food in the restaurant, and the taste in Hong Kong was not what Wan Xiaohu liked. At first glance, When you eat such authentic home-cooked food, the feeling of comfort spreads from your tongue to your whole body. ¡°Zhou Xun, with your skills, you can become a chef. " "If it tastes good, eat more." " "You eat too. If you don't eat, I will eat it all." " "It's best to finish eating. I can't eat much. Eating too much will make you fat. " "Oh, women, for the sake of their figure, they lack so much enjoyment. " "That's because our pursuits are different. " After eating and drinking, Wan Xiaohu touched his belly: "In my opinion, a full stomach is the greatest happiness in life. Only when you are full can you pursue better enjoyment. Oh, today is your birthday boy¡¯s special day. I feel like it¡¯s my birthday. How about I clear the table? " "OK. " "Well, what, the weather is nice today"
