Chapter 1078 1178. Returning home, the Starry Ceremony is getting closer

The time has arrived in early August before we know it, and Nie Wei and the crew's filming in Moon Valley has come to an end.

When Nie Wei announced in a steady voice that the last shot had passed, the scene also burst into cheers, especially the staff, who were extremely excited because they could finally go home.

So far, most of the on-site shooting for "Interstellar" has been completed, and the remaining green screens and some indoor shots will be completed in China. For these Chinese employees, isn't it just like going home?

Although they still need to stay on the set for nearly two months, at least they are familiar with the surrounding environment, and the passers-by they meet do not speak a foreign language that is incomprehensible, but the sounds they hear from childhood Hear big Chinese.

"Wow, I can finally go home!" But a cheer soon made Nie Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes. Looking at Keanu, who was particularly conspicuous among a group of Chinese people, jumping up and down, Nie Wei didn't even know what to say. What's better.

"Keanu, I remember when you came to Moon Valley, didn't you say you wanted to live here for the rest of your life?" Someone asked Nie Wei what was in his heart.

You must know that when they first came to Jordan's Moon Valley, Nie Wei, Zhang Ziyi and the staff who had filmed "The Martian" with him were already immune to the scenery here, but Keanu, who came here for the first time, was deeply impressed. Shocked.

The rose-red desert and Gobi stretch as far as the eye can see, especially when the sun rises and sets, the sky and the earth are rendered golden red. With this scene in mind, Keanu said at that time that he would buy a house and settle here.

But obviously, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot stop the poor living environment.

It's not only been a month, but Keanu has completely forgotten what he said at the beginning. He can't wait to get on a plane and escape from here immediately, and then return to his luxurious villa to have a full set of the best SPA to nourish and maintain himself. The skin has been fighting against the wind, sand and high temperatures for months.

"NONONO, you must have heard wrong. Although it is beautiful here, I prefer the sea breeze in Hawaii." Of course Keanu would not admit it.

But the more he said this, the happier others laughed, and they all could see that Keanu was pretending to be stupid.

Looking at Keanu mingling with the staff, Zhang Ziyi felt extremely envious. The staff usually respected her, but this kind of closeness was rare. The main reason was that she couldn't completely let go of her airs like Keanu. Go make friends with the staff.

"Director Nie, Producer Shu asked me to tell you that the flight has been booked for nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Nie Wei was watching Keanu having fun with many staff over there, when a voice rang in his ears, and he turned around and saw, It turned out to be Lao Hu who returned from injury.

Nie Wei had promised to let Lao Hu become Shu Chang's driver when he recovered from his injury. He certainly kept his promise, so as soon as Lao Hu was discharged from the hospital, he immediately became Shu Chang's driver. Xiao Liu also became Shu Chang's assistant from a small field manager, which was a blessing in disguise thanks to Lao Hu's help.

"Why are you the one to notify?" Nie Wei said with a smile. Logically speaking, running errands should be the job of Xiao Liu's assistant, not Lao Hu.

"Xiao Liu is helping Producer Shu pack his luggage. I have nothing to do." Lao Hu scratched his head and replied with a smile.

"By the way, Lao Hu, are your wife and children also in Kyoto?" Nie Wei suddenly asked.

"No, they're all back home in Yuzhou."

"After I return to Kyoto, I will give you a few days off. You can go home and see your wife and children." Nie Wei thought for a while and said.

"How can I put down my work? My wife has a job at home, my children are in school, and I don't have anyone at home." Lao Hu said quickly after hearing this. Although Nie Wei's proposal made Lao Hu very excited, But he refused without hesitation.

He felt that he had become a comfortable driver not long ago. If he asked for leave right after starting work, even if it was given by his boss on his own initiative, what if it left a bad impression on others?

"Forget it, it's August now and your kids should be on vacation. Besides, aren't you worried that your wife will run away if you don't come home for too long?" Nie Wei blinked and made a joke.

Lao Hu's first reaction was not to be angry, but to be stunned. He never thought that Nie Wei would make such a joke with him, but this intimate joke made Lao Hu turn around and feel excited.

"She dares to say that my mother-in-law is ugly and unattractive." Lao Hu pretended to be angry and shouted.

"Okay, if you have the guts to say it in front of your wife, you should still give it a holiday. Then I will give you one month's salary in advance. You can buy more things in Kyoto and go back and take a good look at your wife and children. Are you here? You didn’t tell them that America was injured, right?”

"This...that's good, thank you very much. In fact, I really miss my wife and children." Old Hu scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile.

"That's right." Nie Wei smiled and nodded, then waved to Lao Hu, motioning for him to come closer.

Lao Hu didn't know why, but he quickly moved his head closer to Nie Wei.

"Let me tell you something, the company will build an employee dormitory area next year. When you go home this time, you can ask your family if they are willing to move to Kyoto. If so, your wife's job and children's school, I Help you solve it."

Hearing Nie Wei's words, Lao Hu stayed where he was.

This was really a good thing that he never dared to dream of, but he didn't expect that one day, it would actually happen to him.

For a while, Lao Hu was trembling all over, his lips trembling and grunting for a long time, and he couldn't organize his words, because his head was confused with excitement, and he had no logic to answer, and he just kept nodding.

"Follow Shu Chang well." Nie Wei smiled and patted Lao Hu's shoulder and instructed.

Lao Hu heard this, how could he not understand, and his head, which had just stopped, immediately began to nod vigorously. He knew very well that the reason why Nie Wei took such good care of him was entirely because he was now a member of Shu Chang's team and had done Shu Chang a favor.

The rainy night and the wild wolf that originally made him feel scared when he thought about it occasionally became much more lovely in Lao Hu's heart. If there was no rain and no wolf, how could his life have changed so drastically now.

Nie Wei sent the excited Lao Hu away and gave everyone in the crew a half-day holiday. After all, the filming mission in Moon Valley was no longer there, and the next step was to wait to return to China to continue the final filming mission.

If nothing goes wrong, all the live-action shots should be completed before October. As for how long the special effects will take, Nie Wei is not sure, but according to the past, it will take at least two months. After all, the more exquisite and realistic the special effects are, the more time it will take.

That afternoon, Nie Wei accompanied Shu Chang to stroll around the nearby town for half a day and bought some local accessories and daily necessities, ready to bring them back to China as gifts for friends.

Especially the local characteristic stone accessories, Nie Wei and Shu Chang bought more than ten pieces.

On August 20, the review list of the Starry Festival was finally announced. Although the results would not be published in the newspaper, Wang Zimu still came to the familiar newsstand door early to wait. This time, before five o'clock, the figure of the old man appeared in Wang Zimu's eyes.

"Grandpa, why are you here so early today?" Wang Zimu greeted the old man at the newsstand enthusiastically when he saw him.

"Haha, I got up early today, so I came to see it by the way." The old man at the newsstand laughed happily.

Wang Zimu was touched in his heart. He knew very well that the old man was definitely not an early riser. He came so early just because he expected him to come.

Wang Zimu didn't know how to express his gratitude, so after the old man in the newsstand opened the door of the newsstand, Wang Zimu simply took the broom and rag and took the initiative to take on the cleaning task.

The old man in the newsstand was not polite. He sat aside and took out a bag of tea, and then took out a kettle from a small drawer beside him and made tea by himself.

This was not the first time that Wang Zimu came to work. In this short period of time, Wang Zimu had come five or six times. Every time, Wang Zimu rushed to clean for the old man in the newsstand. The old man would refuse for the first two times, but he got used to it later.

However, he was more and more satisfied with Wang Zimu, the young man, in his heart. The key was that Wang Zimu was a very good listener. The old man had a lot of complaints, and his son, grandson and even wife were impatient to listen to them, but Wang Zimu was willing to listen to his nagging.

So for Wang Zimu, the young man, the old man in the newsstand has already regarded him as a friend regardless of age.

Soon the water was boiled, and the old man in the newsstand took out the jasmine tea that he had prepared long ago. There was no trick, just a simple brew with water, and the whole teahouse was immediately filled with the fragrance of jasmine.

"Xiao Wang, come and drink tea, and try this top-quality jasmine that my son bought for me."

"Uncle, your tea is really fragrant, leave me a cup, I will drink it after I finish the rest of the work." Wang Zimu replied while wiping the glass.

"You kid is really... Hurry up, otherwise the tea will be cold and it will not taste good." The old man laughed and scolded, but his eyes were full of satisfaction.

He likes Wang Zimu's seriousness, he can do everything from beginning to end, and never give up halfway.

It was a little work, but Wang Zimu finished it in almost 20 minutes. The tea that the old man had brewed for the first time was already lukewarm. The old man didn't feel bad that the tea cost hundreds of dollars, so he just poured it out and brewed another pot.

"This tea has a very elegant name, do you know what it is?" While brewing the tea again, Wang Zimu washed his hands and returned to the newsstand. As soon as he sat down, the old man asked him.

"Bitan Piaoxue, right?" Wang Zimu replied with a smile. This time it was the old man who was surprised: "How do you know?"

"My family is from the north, and we love jasmine. Last time when I went home, my father also bought this kind of Bitan Piaoxue, but the fragrance is definitely not as good as your tea."

"Hahaha, I'm glad you like it. I'll give you some next time you come. My son bought me a lot. When you mentioned the north, I also felt a little emotional. In fact, my family is also from the north, but my son's business is in Mingzhu, so we just moved here."

"Your son is filial and wants to take care of you nearby." Wang Zimu hit the nail on the head, which made the old man in the newsstand very happy. He usually likes to show off his son the most, showing off his son's academic qualifications and his ability to make money. However, what makes the old man in the newsstand most comfortable is his son's filial piety.

Just like no matter how busy the son is, he will always spare a day every weekend to accompany the old man. They will go fishing, play chess, or play mahjong together as a family. They will also go out for dinner, go shopping, and sometimes just stay in the villa together to watch TV.

In the eyes of the old man, such companionship is more precious than any money his son gives him.

"I see the dark circles under your eyes. You must not have slept well yesterday."

"How could I sleep well?" After getting to know him, Wang Zimu no longer concealed his inner worries and really treated the old man at the newsstand as a friend regardless of age.

"Although I know that the possibility of my being shortlisted is not high, what if it happens? After all, I have passed the preliminary review. As long as I can be shortlisted, I can step on the red carpet, my documentary can be seen by more people, and maybe someone will ask me to make a movie, and I can really apply the knowledge I have learned to my work."

"Don't worry, Xiao Wang, I still say that your name must be on the shortlist."

"Well, I wish you good luck." Wang Zimu listened to the old man's words of encouragement and couldn't help laughing. No matter what, having the support of this old man at the newsstand is indeed much more powerful than Wang Zimu alone.

This is why he still came to the newsstand. In fact, he wanted to get support from the old man to make himself more confident.

The results were announced at 8 o'clock in the morning. Wang Zimu took a day off today because he was too upset and couldn't work at all.

He helped the old man sell newspapers at the newsstand in the morning. Many people greeted Wang Zimu. These were the old man’s old customers. Seeing that a young man suddenly helped the old man, they must have been curious and asked. The old man didn’t say much, just said that it was a relative’s child who came to help. After a few visits, Wang Zimu also got to know many old customers.

"Aunt Liu is here to buy a newspaper for my uncle Wang again. Is it Life News? I saw a lot of job ads on it today. Your son will definitely find a good job this time."

"Uncle Li, this is the game weekly you wanted. I saved it for you. It's the last one. There is a gift card inside. Don't lose it."

"Aunt Wang, you still want a fashion magazine, right? The cover of this issue is Fan Binbin, who looks like you. You will definitely be able to stun your wife if you dress like him."

Watching Wang Zimu sell newspapers one by one and making his old customers praise him constantly, the old man at the newsstand admired Wang Zimu more and more. He thought that if Wang Zimu failed the review this time, he would definitely go find his son and take care of this young man. Even if he didn't hire him into the company, he could just find him to shoot an advertisement or something.

Just like that, before he knew it, it was already eight o'clock. After Wang Zimu sent another customer away, he glanced at the clock on the wall and immediately took out his phone. However, the old man at the newsstand next to him reached out to stop Wang Zimu, who looked up in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
