Chapter 776 776. Leap Forward
Liu Tao mentioned children because she had her first baby in late June this year.
Ever since she became a mother, when chatting with Liu Tao, she would always unknowingly direct the topic to her children. Today, while we were chatting, she committed this problem.
But just such an accidental sentence instantly aroused Shu Chang's interest. However, before she could ask, Jiang Xin stopped listening.
"Tao'er, can we have a good chat? Can we stop focusing on the children in all topics lately?" Jiang Xin complained as soon as Liu Tao finished speaking.
As a good friend of Liu Tao, Jiang Xin can be said to have been verbally 'persecuted' by Liu Tao recently.
Now Jiang Xindu still remembers the first time she went to Liu Tao's house to see a child. Everything was normal at first, until she saw Liu Tao's little princess, teased her, and said, "It's so cute." This was considered an opening. Pandora's box, something happened.
"If you like children so much, you should have one soon."
"Not married? Then get married soon. How old are you and you're not in a hurry?"
"I happen to know a lot of boys with good morals. Let me introduce you to them. Don't tell me who you're dating, just make friends?"
In Jiang Xin's eyes, Liu Tao at that moment was just like the mother who had dragged her relatives to urge her to get married during the Chinese New Year in the past two years, and he was even more enthusiastic.
For a period of time, whenever Jiang Xin went to Liu Tao's house to check in and see her children, Liu Tao would always say these things about her. In the end, Jiang Xin did not dare to go to Liu Tao's house to check in.
"How old is Shu Chang? You're only twenty-one years old. Why are you so anxious about having a baby?" Jiang Xin put her arm around Shu Chang's shoulders and said to Liu Tao as if I was protecting you.
"That's right, haha, let's not talk about children anymore." Liu Tao came to his senses after being retorted by Jiang Xin. Shu Chang didn't look like him. He was only 21 years old, how could he be so anxious to have a child.
The topic quickly shifted to the autumn clothing of those well-known brands, which brand's dresses are very innovative, which brand's clothes are starting to be retro style, etc. It's just these topics that are usually very comfortable and exciting to talk about. At this moment But she lacked interest.
Because she was still thinking about what Liu Tao asked her just now, the word "child" seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.
Because she really longs to have a baby with Nie Wei.
But after hearing the reasons given by her companions for not having children just now, she couldn't help but think a lot, such as space for two people, being too young, and both of them being busy, etc. After listening to her friends' words, she seemed to not want to have children at all now. You shouldn't have the thought of 'having a baby'.
"Alas..." Shu Chang sighed in his heart, becoming more and more distressed.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the warm banquet at Nie Wei and Shu Chang's new home had come to an end. Friends present were picked up by their managers one after another, until finally Liu Tao and Wang Ke also left the villa. , the surrounding became quiet again.
This made Shu Chang feel a little uncomfortable for a while. After all, it had been busy for most of the day, and now it suddenly calmed down. He always felt empty in his heart. In addition, there were only himself and Nie Wei in such a big house for the time being, which made Shu Chang subconsciously She followed Nie Wei wherever he went, and she followed him aimlessly.
"Honey, I'm going to the bathroom, why don't you follow me in? Of course, I don't mind." Nie Wei stood at the bathroom door and said to Shu Chang with a teasing look on her face.
"Hmph, who cares?" Shu Chang blushed, finally stopped following Nie Wei, turned around and ran away.
Unknowingly, the time came to mid-October, and Shu Chang had already adapted to life in the new villa.
Unlike in the building, Shu Chang finally no longer needs to be bored at home every day. The small garden carefully built by Nie Wei has become Shu Chang's private territory. Only a small vegetable garden of less than ten square meters in the corner belongs to Nie Wei.
Shu Chang was a little confused about Nie Wei's sudden desire to grow vegetables in his own yard. After all, what vegetables can't be bought in supermarkets now, so he still has to work hard to grow them himself?
Nie Wei smiled and explained to him that what she grew was not vegetables. Growing vegetables was just a way to cultivate one's sentiments. It was just like some people raised flowers and others raised fish. The starting point for growing vegetables was also very simple. There is no reward, but growing vegetables does.
This was He Shuchang's explanation, but there were some words that Nie Wei kept hidden in his heart.
This is an obsession that came from Nie Wei's heart. When he was working as a fraudster, he felt a sense of crisis every day. What Nie Wei longed for most at that time was actually the kind of life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence" , leisurely seeing Nanshan's pastoral life, which was the main reason why he insisted on opening a small vegetable garden after having his own courtyard.
After all, pastoral life is pastoral life. If you have a garden, you should also have fields. If you don’t grow your own vegetables, then what is pastoral life?
In order to satisfy his dream of rural life, Nie Wei has even read a lot of books on growing vegetables recently. This made Luo Kai, who helped him buy books, think that Nie Wei had recently wanted to invest in agriculture and animal husbandry. Only after Shu Chang accidentally let something slip did Luo Kai know that Nie Wei wanted to farm his own land.
"It's already mid-October. Unless you build a greenhouse, we in the north will have to wait until next spring if we want to grow some vegetables." Luo Kai said to Nie Wei dumbfounded, urging him to give up farming for the time being.
Luo Kai's words hit Nie Wei hard. He felt that he had everything ready, but he had forgotten about the season. It was really a miscalculation.
The vegetable garden was temporarily put on hold, not only because of Luo Kai's words, but also because Nie Wei's busy time had come.
First of all, the Golden Horse Awards.
Just two days ago, the 45th Golden Horse Awards announced the final list of nominees. Nie Wei was nominated for the Best Screenwriter of this Golden Horse Awards with "Blind Witness", but the most watched was Shu Chang, who made a comeback. She was nominated for the Best Actress again. This was Shu Chang's third nomination, and Shu Chang won the Golden Horse Best Actress trophy in the first two nominations.
Her competitors include Mo Xiaoqi, Lin Jiaxin and Zhang Rongrong. The popularity of several nominated actresses, including Lin Jiaxin, is far behind Shu Chang, but winning an award really cannot be based on popularity alone.
Especially the list of nominees for the Best Actress this year is very subtle, because except for "Blind Witness", the works represented by the other actresses are basically literary films, only "Blind Witness" is a pure commercial film. A commercial film is nominated together with a bunch of literary films. It is hard not to doubt that the judges of this year prefer literary films.
As for why "Blind Witness" was added?
Or is it for the attention and ratings of the Golden Horse Awards? Anyway, many people think from this list of nominees that Shu Chang may have a greater chance of running with the runner-up this time.
Of course, before the final result is announced, these are all speculations. Shu Chang is still the most popular candidate for the best actress, without a doubt. On the survey website, in the voting of more than 100,000 netizens, Shu Chang beat the other actresses who were nominated with more than 80% of the votes. If the masses can decide who the best actress belongs to, I am afraid that the trophy for the best actress will be mailed to Shu Chang in advance, after all, the advantage is too great.
Shu Chang has confirmed that he will attend this year's Golden Horse Awards, but Nie Wei has not yet decided whether to attend. After all, "Assassin's Alliance" has entered the promotion stage, and he is also seizing every minute and every second to be busy for this movie.
First of all, the trailers, the male and female versions have been edited separately.
Only need to wait until November 1st, the two trailers will be officially uploaded to Fanxing Weibo and major video websites for promotion.
And five days ago, Huayi also organized the heads of major theaters across the country to watch this movie. These heads came with expectations. Of course, a few hours later, they all left with a satisfied look, and some even had a flushed face, looking overly excited.
Of course, Huayi did not ask them to make some secret big swords, Huayi just arranged for them to watch a movie.
A week after the theater heads watched "Assassin's Alliance", the movie was accurately scheduled for December 24th, Christmas Eve in the West.
These cinema chain managers are preparing to release this movie that they all like during this increasingly popular festival in China, and then reap a good box office, so that they can spend 2008 in a good mood.
At the same time, the time is also set for the New Year's film of another director of Huayi.
That's right, Huayi will release three New Year's films this year. In addition to Nie Wei's "Assassins' Alliance", there is also Feng's latest New Year's comedy "If You Are the One", and finally "Dragon and Phoenix" starring Liu Dehua and Shu Qi.
Among these three movies, Huayi attaches the most importance to Nie Wei's "Assassins' Alliance".
After all, it is the movie that Huayi has invested the most this year. You should know that the amount of money Huayi invested in "Assassins' Alliance" has already caught up with two-thirds of the total amount of money Huayi invested in movies last year.
Moreover, this film also carries Huayi's dream of rushing to Hollywood, so it naturally received the highest attention from Huayi.
The second is Feng's "If You Are the One".
As the biggest and thickest cash cow of Huayi before Nie Wei appeared, Director Feng's works have always been the most valued by Huayi Company.
It's just that in recent years, Director Feng has always wanted to transform and not make Lunar New Year films properly, which allowed Nie Wei to take advantage of the opportunity and become the leading director of Huayi's Lunar New Year films in recent years.
But as long as Director Feng changes his mind and picks up Lunar New Year films again, Huayi will not treat it casually.
Just like this "If You Are the One", Wang Zhonglei has contacted the theaters and is preparing to release this movie in mid-to-late January next year, because it is close to New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival, and the Chinese New Year atmosphere is already very strong, and Director Feng's Lunar New Year film style is most suitable for release at this time.
On the contrary, although Nie Wei's films were released in the Lunar New Year in the past few years, in fact, the orientation of Nie Wei's films is not particularly close to the style of the Lunar New Year.
In everyone's impression, movies in the Lunar New Year period should be cheerful and make people laugh, but Nie Wei's movies are pure commercial movies, and they will not deliberately make the story lighthearted to match the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.
Especially this time, "Assassin's League" is a pure commercial work, a complete Hollywood movie model. You say it's okay to put it in the Lunar New Year period, but you say it's okay to put it in the summer period.
This is why the outside world increasingly regards Nie Wei as the pillar of Huayi directors. Compared with Director Feng, the commercial movies shot by Nie Wei appear to be more pure and have more changing elements.
Director Feng has actually been trying to diversify in recent years. The previous "Night Banquet" and "Assembly" are all works in which he is trying to make changes. Obviously, this great director does not want to be labeled as a director of the Lunar New Year film forever.
Speaking of "Assembly", the male lead Zhang Hanyu of "Assembly" is also shortlisted for the Best Actor candidate list at this Golden Horse Awards. If the original time and space are followed, he will also win the first Golden Horse trophy in his acting career.
And Nie Wei, who has become familiar with Zhang Hanyu because of filming "Assassin's League", may also have to prepare a congratulatory text message in advance.
November 1st came quickly. At 8 o'clock in the morning of that day, the official Weibo of "Assassin's League" on Fanxing Weibo updated two messages on time and released two trailers.
It took less than ten minutes for the two trailers to exceed one million hits, and the number of comments on these two Weibo messages exceeded 10,000 in just one hour.
This time, netizens were surprisingly unanimous in exclaiming, is this really a movie released by Huaxia Film?
Wonderful fighting, cool movie special effects, even if you don't know the story yet, the thrilling scenes revealed in the trailer are enough to arouse the curiosity of a lot of people, and they want to go to the theater to take a look.
"Fuck, bullets can actually turn, what a big idea."
"Too cool, I also want to learn that gun fighting technique from the beautiful sister!"
"I never thought Li Binbin was so sexy. The moment she came out of the bath, my second brother stood at attention unconsciously."
"Wow, Nie Wei seems to be a bit miserable in this movie, and he was beaten black and blue. What happened?"
"Didn't you realize that this movie with amazing special effects was made by Huaxia's movie special effects company, the same company that made special effects for Nie Wei's "Your Name"."
A message quickly appeared on the hot list, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Many people didn't believe it at first. You know, the most criticized thing about "Your Name" is its special effects. As for "Assassin's Alliance", most people who have seen it will think that this must be a movie special effect produced by a top special effects company like Industrial Light \u0026 Magic in the United States.
Now you tell me that the special effects of these two movies are produced by the same company, who will believe it?
Fortunately, the Internet is well developed now. Many skeptical netizens searched on Baidu Encyclopedia and were surprised to find that it was really the same company!
