Although the thoughts in their hearts have loosened a bit, Xu's father and Xu's mother certainly couldn't bear to take the initiative to go to Xu Chi to express a concession, so they continued to stalemate, hoping that Xu Chi would take the initiative to go back to them to intercede.
In Xu Chi's plan, of course he has to go back, but he must plan it slowly, at least to let the elders in the family realize that he will not back down on Yun Hao's career. And this is the biggest conflict between him and the rest of the Xu family.
But no matter what, it is of course not appropriate not to pay New Year greetings to parents and elders during the Chinese New Year, and Xu Chi has been staying at Yun Hao's place and has not returned home during the Chinese New Year. It is easy for Yun Hao to guess that he is probably breaking up with his family It is not difficult to think of the reason for the breakup. After knowing the situation, Yun Hao felt that Xu Chi could not bear the pressure of his family alone, so he insisted on picking a gift and going back to celebrate the New Year with him. Xu Chi had no choice but to tell Yun Hao not to take it to heart if they said something in a bad tone. The elders can't control what he does now, and Yun Hao doesn't need to make any compromises for this.
Unexpectedly, after they left, the attitudes of the elders of the Xu family were not bad, they were not friendly but did not show any obvious dislike, and they were still polite to Yun Hao. But after the entertainment, when they got down to business, Xu's father and Xu's mother really expressed their dissatisfaction with Yun Hao's career, and threatened in a disguised form that Yun Hao would have to change jobs if they wanted them to agree to their being together.
Yun Hao really likes acting, and he just learned it. If he doesn't become an actor, he won't have other skills for a while, so it is basically impossible for him to give up acting completely. But Xu's father and Xu's mother are elders after all, and they seem to have accepted it. Even if Xu Chi said that he didn't need to make any compromises, Yun Hao didn't feel embarrassed and refused directly. In the end, he took a compromise and made a few steps back, saying that he could reduce the frequency of acting in the future, and he didn't need to accept other jobs except acting. Xu's father and Xu's mother were not satisfied with this answer, but Xu Chi first said aside that an endorsement would cost tens of millions, and it would be a waste if he didn't answer. As the vice president of Xingyue, he said that Yun Hao's passive sabotage behavior is not allowed.
Xu's father and Xu's mother were not satisfied with Yun Hao's answer, but in the end Xu Chi felt that this was not good enough, and tried his best to dismantle them. Xu's father and Xu's mother felt blocked, and at the same time, they also understood that their son seemed to be turning his elbows out this time. It's over.
As Xu Chi said, the elders of the Xu family really can't control Xu Chi now, because Xu Chi has never inherited the family business to run his own company, and they all work with Qi Yan. Even if you don't want the family property, you can get a lot of salary from Qi Yan every year. Besides Qi Yan's family business, Qi Yan also invested in some emerging industries, as well as the shares of many other companies. Xu Chi of these companies followed suit and took a share, such as Xingyue. The overall dividend income of these shares is estimated to be not much different from the income of the Xu family industry. That's why Xu Chi can be so confident.
Xu Chi has confidence, Xu's father and Xu's mother will naturally be short of breath, especially Yun Hao seems to have a good relationship with Shu Zimu and Qi Yun, and he has a good impression of Qi's family. Regarding the fact that Xu Chi and Yun Hao are together, Qi Everyone at home is persuading them. Under such circumstances, Xu Chi insisted on not giving in, and Xu's father and Xu's mother really could not object. Xu Chi seems to have a lively personality, but in fact he has his own ideas and is very stubborn about what he thinks. At that time, Xu Chi was determined to help Qi Yan instead of becoming the prince of his own company, Xu's father and Xu mother couldn't stop him; now he wants to be with Yun Hao and prevent them from interfering with Yun Hao's career, Xu's father and Xu mother Obviously still can't stop it. Xu's father and Xu's mother originally thought that the love of young people might be impulsive. If this is the case, even if it is not enough to put pressure on Xu Chi, a little coercion and temptation to Yun Hao might be able to break them up. But now it seems that if they still insist on not agreeing, then Xu Chi will definitely be tougher than them. It is certain to run again, and it is estimated that he will not come back as easily as this time.
Xu's father and Xu's mother basically knew the result, but it would be too intimidating to let go like this. In the end, they didn't express their position directly, neither agreeing nor opposing. However, they didn't drive Xu Chi and Yun Hao out. Although their attitude became more and more lukewarm afterwards, the whole process of their son's visit to New Year's greetings was quite harmonious. Xu Chi understood that this was a signal of their compromise, and his mood improved instead.
So far, he and Yun Hao have passed the most troublesome threshold. After that, they just need to spend some more time to let Xu's father and Xu's mother slowly accept the reality. But things went so smoothly, thanks to the persuasion of the Qi family. Thinking back to the beginning, he only met Yun Hao because he accompanied Qi Yan and Shu Zimu to take the younger generation to the amusement park. Later, Shu Zimu rescued Yun Hao, and Qi Yan bought Xingyue for Shu Zimu, and Yun Hao also benefited by the way. In this way, the Qi family, especially Qi Yan and Shu Zimu's beneficial promotion to the two of them is really not small. The more Xu Chi thought about it, the more he felt that he had to prepare a thank you gift for Qi Yan and Shu Zimu.
In addition to Xu Chi and the others, something happened during the Chinese New Year. Qi Yan and Shu Zimu went to Sheng's house to pay New Year's greetings, Sheng Xiaowen had already returned to the army after his vacation, Sheng Xiaowu got out of the state of being beaten from time to time, and began to tremble a little again. But because of lessons learned, the trembling is not as strong as before. Sheng Xiaowen blocked his pocket money, and even found someone to watch him, and he had to follow him when he went out. Therefore, Sheng Xiaowu doesn't enjoy himself when he goes out to play anything now. He hasn't looked for excitement for such a long time. It can be said that he is full of evil fire.
When Qi Yan took Shu Zimu and Qi Heng to Sheng's house to pay New Year's greetings, Sheng Xiaowu's first reaction when he saw them was annoyed. Obviously, he still had a grudge against the previous incident. But in front of other people, Sheng Xiaowu didn't dare to do anything, not even provocative words, and he didn't have the eloquence to insinuate, so he could only sneakily stare at Qi Yan a few times.
It stands to reason that this kind of New Year's greetings is just a formality, but the elders of the Sheng family feel very distressed about Sheng Xiaowu being taught by Sheng Xiaowen before, and they seem to think that Sheng Xiaowu has completely corrected his evil ways and become a good young man, so he specially proposed to let Sheng Xiaowu and Qi Yan go together Playing, on the one hand, is to resolve the previous conflict between the two, and turn hostility into friendship; on the other hand, it feels that since Sheng Xiaowu has started to learn well, he naturally has to learn from young people like Qi Yan. After the improvement, the performance may not be worse than Qi Yan
In the hearts of parents who dote on their children, their children are cute and everyone has to give way. They are worse than others not because they are really worse, but because they were young and playful. Now that everyone has changed, those who were bullied and offended by him before have no reason to express their dissatisfaction. My own children are smart, and there is no reason to refuse to ask others to teach and guide others.
In short, when Qi Yan went to visit the New Year, he got a weird task of being good friends with Sheng Xiaowu. I don’t know if the Sheng family plans to start a good relationship with the Qi family. I shirked it for a while, but I didn't expect them to be very persistent. Sheng Xiaowu was also baffled, but after all, he was still pretending to be good and couldn't protest.
The Sheng family praised Qi Yan a lot, and his posture was considered very low. In desperation, Qi Yan put on a little show, and after agreeing, he pretended to call Sheng Xiaowu out to communicate, but actually parted ways after going out.
However, in this innocent disaster against Qi Yan, Sheng Xiaowu seemed to feel that he had been hurt even more, and his attitude towards Qi Yan became worse, and he said harsh words to him a few times. Sheng Xiaowu was so angry that he threatened to show Qi Yan some color, and even involved Shu Zimu.
Although Qi Yan was not optimistic about Sheng Xiaowu's IQ, he absolutely believed in the other party's shamelessness. Hearing that Sheng Xiaowu took Shu Zimu's safety as a threat, he said coldly, "Say it again?"
Sheng Xiaowu actually regretted it a bit after he finished speaking, but he couldn't lose his momentum at this time, so he bit the bullet and said it again. After hearing this, Qi Yan turned around and left, ignoring the demands of Sheng's elders, and sent the evidence recorded by taking the opportunity to Sheng Xiaowen to file a complaint.
So the people watching Sheng Xiaowu quickly changed from one to two, and the supervision became stricter. Originally, Sheng Xiaowu just stood outside the door when he went out to play, but now he has to supervise directly by his side.
With the combination of new and old hatred, Sheng Xiaowu naturally became even more resentful towards Qi Yan, thinking every day to carry out the harsh words he said before. It's a pity that in fact, he is regarded as deadly by others, and he has no chance.
At the end of the new year, Shu Zimu finally finished posting the manuscript of "Super Power Office", and it was officially over. Yun Hao, a veteran book fan, naturally made a big deal of Amway on Weibo. At the same time, Xingyue also said that the film project of "Super Power Office" has been approved and is preparing to build a team. The director and producer have been confirmed, and they have begun to contact and select actors.
For a while, various marketing accounts had a round of speculation about the cast before, and this time it was staged again, but this time the momentum was a little bigger, because it was confirmed that it was a movie, and the director was still Cha Jingyuan, although It is not a big director who can guarantee key awards, but at least the box office results are basically guaranteed, and the word of mouth is generally not bad. Except for the actor and queen who has won international awards, for other relatively young actors, such an opportunity is very good.
The crew's start-up time is tentatively scheduled for the end of June, which happens to be when Shu Zimu is on summer vacation, so the casting work must be completed before then. The shooting time is about four to five months, and actors who have a schedule can apply for auditions. Compared with these actors, gossip crowds and star fans even seem to care more, and they have been discussing in full swing under the various rumors that are not known to be true or false.
As Xingyue's current first brother, Yun Hao also showed a deep love for "Super Power Office". Many people think that the role of the hero has basically fallen into his pocket, but some marketing accounts are trying to attract attention. , and deliberately made up some fake news such as "Yun Hao made way for him? The cast of "Super Power Office" turned out to be like this", which might cause conflicts between the actor's fans and Yun Hao's fans. Although it was all fake information, so it was just a small fight, but it also made many fans excitedly go to Xingyue's Weibo, asking Xingyue to announce the candidate as soon as possible.
Xingyue's response to this is that the cast has not yet been confirmed. Whether it is a leading role or a supporting role, they will be screened among the applicants, and then the candidates will be determined through auditions. The implication is that there is no default Yun Hao.
However, because Yun Hao is a loyal fan of "Super Power Office", he just happened to have a Republic of China drama in the first half of the year, and the subsequent schedule was still empty, so he naturally applied for an audition. Although it is said that an audition is required even if it is not an official appointment, as an artist of Xingyue and has a good relationship with the company's senior management and the original author and screenwriter, Yun Hao still has some advantages. For example, if the audition effect is similar to other people, then The role will definitely still be given to him.
But until now, Yun Hao didn't know that Shu Zimu was actually Chaomu. After he tried to get Zhao Mu's contact information from Xu Chi to no avail, he only thought about the success of the audition. When the time comes, Zhao Mu should at least come to the crew to have a look. For this, Shu Zimu felt that his conscience was greatly tortured, but seeing Yun Hao's silly and sweet look that he had never doubted, he repeatedly pressed back what he wanted to explain. I always feel that talking about Yun Hao will also feel that he is teasing him, let him find out by himself.
The opportunity for Shu Zimu to take off his vest came quite quickly.
The cast and crew list of the film crew is being improved little by little. In addition to the first announced director and producer, the position of screenwriter, which also has a decisive impact on the quality of the film, has also been announced after a while. Shu Zimu didn't use his real name. After all, he was just a newcomer who had just studied screenwriting for half a year. Being the first screenwriter of the film would easily arouse doubts from others. The content of the doubts included the quality of the script and the legitimacy of his getting this position. Such doubts are not a good thing for the film, so Shu Zimu chose to announce the pseudonym Chaomu. Although I have never heard of it in the screenwriting circle, for those who are not familiar with the industry, the original author and screenwriter can still be trusted. Even if the rhythm is not good, it will not change beyond recognition.
After the first screenwriter of the film version of "Super Power Office" was announced, Yun Hao knew about it not long after, and then he quickly sent a message to Shu Zimu in a strange way—
Today I want to eat braised prawns: Why is the first screenwriter of the movie Chao Mu Dashen? Could it be that God Chaomu asked the film crew on his own initiative
Cat plucking expert: ... Mmm.
Today I want to eat braised prawns: Then you have become the second signature
Cat plucking expert: ... not at all.
I want to eat braised prawns today:? Don't you participate in the screenwriting? No way, don't waste such a good opportunity, the second signature is also very useful
Cat plucking expert: ... You never thought about it
I want to eat braised prawns today:? What are you thinking? Do you want to say that this film will flutter? Why do you think Mr. Qi will pay back the investment
"..." 1 Shu Zimu looked at Yun Hao's brain circuit that didn't realize the truth at all, silently deleted the words "I am Chaomu" in the input box, and asked helplessly—
Expert in licking cats: Except for me quitting, you can't think of other possibilities
Today I want to eat braised prawns: ... what else is possible? It’s impossible that you and God Chaomu are alone [Poor]
Yun Hao's tone was aggrieved, but he obviously didn't feel that his guess had the possibility of the truth. Shu Zimu was both amused and helpless, thinking that Yun Hao probably didn't feel that he was old enough to be able to write "Super Power Office". That's right, it's just that Shu Zimu took advantage of the time.
Expert in picking cats: Congratulations, you got it right!
I want to eat braised prawns today: What is the right answer
I want to eat braised prawns today: … … … Wait, did I guess right? Are you Zamu? ! !
Expert in plucking cats: bingo! There is no reward for answering questions beyond the time limit.
Yun Hao was silent for a long time, and seemed to be undergoing intense ideological struggle and cognitive reshaping. After a while, new news came with strong dissatisfaction.
I want to eat braised prawns today: You have been hiding it from me! ! You didn't say anything when I was in Amway, your superpower office! ! !
Today I want to eat braised prawns: Later, when I said I wanted to sign, you still didn’t say anything! ! !
Today I want to eat braised prawns: You want to be the screenwriter of the film version, I will let you watch the original work, don't pay it back when the writing collapses! yes! Varied! what! All! No! explain! !
I want to eat braised prawns today: I don’t believe in friendship anymore [broken heart]
Yun Hao typed out a series of accusations in an explosive manner, almost weeping blood, it was very miserable to watch. However, apart from a little uneasiness of conscience, Shu Zimu couldn't help but laugh more.
Well, he might not be very kind indeed.
But there is definitely someone more unkind than him, Shu Zimu did not hesitate to pull the opponent out to divert Yun Hao's firepower.
Cat licking expert: Sorry, I don't think it's easy to say, I always thought you would find out soon. And Xu Chi already knew about it, I thought he told you too.
Today I want to eat braised prawns:! ! !
Only then was Yun Hao reminded that Xu Chi knew this a long time ago, and when he remembered the autograph he had finally come to, he became more and more sad and indignant. This is Shu Zimu watching the fun with fuel added to the flames.
Expert in licking cats: Do you still believe in love now [laughs]
I want to eat braised prawns today:…
Today I want to eat braised prawns: I doubt the world now! goodbye!
Afterwards, how Yun Hao discussed with Xu Chi whether he should continue to believe in love, Shu Zimu didn't know, but when the cast of "Super Power Office" was hotly cast, the celebration banquet of "Blood War Dawn" arrive.
"Blood War Dawn" was postponed for one month because of its good box office and high attendance rate. The final box office reached 2.8 billion. Although it was released at the beginning of the year, it can basically establish its position as the top three box office this year. If you are lucky, it may be possible to be the first of the year. With such a completely unexpected good result, the celebration banquet was naturally going to be a big one. The specification this time was higher than the previous finale banquet. Qi Yan and Shu Zimu both went to the finale banquet. As the most profitable investor, it is inevitable to attend this celebration banquet.
Compared with the slightly apprehensive atmosphere of mutual comfort and encouragement at the wrap-up banquet, now it is completely an atmosphere of nouveau riche who are cheerful and touting each other. This time Shu Zimu drank a few more glasses than last time. After the routine toasting stage passed, Guo Tao, who was sitting on the other side of him, took the initiative to chat with him. While talking, the topic changed from "Blood War Dawn" to Guo Tao's grandfather Guo Xiangxue.
"My grandpa said that I was lucky this time, and I met a good director and a good crew. In fact, the script has many flaws." Guo Tao said helplessly, "I also admit that there are many flaws, but if the script of a commercial film can be like this, it is almost the same. It’s just the first book in the official sense, and it’s impossible to write such a perfect book just after it comes out.” Guo Tao sighed, and then said: “Now many people ask me to accept the script after seeing the results of ‘Blood War Dawn’. He refused to let me take it, saying that I am too drifting now, and I need to settle down. He was the one who said that my script was not good and wanted to meet, and now he is the one who said that I was drifting after seeing my success."
Shu Zimu laughed and said, "Mr. Guo is also for your own good. The older generation is always strict with themselves and their family members. In fact, it is a very strict attitude. Besides, you have a grandfather like Mr. Guo. I don't know how many people Envy. Like me, I'm almost dying of envy, okay?"
Guo Tao heard the words and said: "That's right, I'm still a little unhappy to be criticized all the time. By the way, I mentioned you to my grandfather, and he said that he would meet you if he had the opportunity." Guo Tao was proud, "At that time I Said that you took the initiative to invest in us because you liked the script. My grandfather said that your professional vision is average, but in fact he offered to talk to you. It is obvious that he thinks that you have a good vision. He just has to criticize me. .”
Shu Zimu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he felt a little guilty, thinking that his vision really did not come from the script, but from the experience of rebirth. However, Shu Zimu naturally would not take the initiative to say such a thing, fancying the script was originally the shield he thought of at the beginning, and now he naturally allowed the other party to misunderstand him, and said happily: "Old Guo is willing to talk to me? Investing in 'Blood Battle Dawn' 'Not only did I make money, but I also got such a harvest, it's really a bargain."
Guo Tao smiled "hehe", "It's mainly due to your unique vision, otherwise the crew might have left without filming anything."
Shu Zimu was very excited to see Mr. Guo, and even took the initiative to toast Guo Tao a few times. Seeing this, Qi Yan, who was next to him, stopped the two of them still wanting to drink, and gave Shu Zimu some food, and said, "If screenwriter Guo doesn't have much work in the future, would you like to take the job of screenwriter with the second signature of a film?"
Guo Tao was taken aback when he heard the words, "Second signature? Xingyue has many screenwriters, right? Do you need to find me?"
But Shu Zimu knew that he was looking for someone for him as soon as he heard Qi Yan's words. After being slightly startled, he couldn't help smiling. Sure enough, I heard Qi Yan say: "The main reason is that the original work and the first signed screenwriter are Zi Mu. I think you get along very well, and your professional ability is also excellent, so I hope you can help me. Other screenwriters in the company, Zi Mu, look at it." I don’t think it’s suitable. The salary is easy to negotiate, and this film is also our key project.”
Guo Tao was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized: "You are talking about 'Super Energy Office'?" Then he looked at Shu Zimu in surprise and said, "You are the original author Chaomu?!"
Shu Zimu admitted: "That's right."
Guo Tao patted his thigh, "Okay! I wish I could be the screenwriter of 'Super Power Office'! I really like this book! Are you really Zamu? Can you sign it for me?"
Shu Zimu: "..." I suddenly feel that I have a lot of fans.
