China Entertainment 1997

In July, Cao Xuan returned to China, but instead of returning to his home in the capital, he went directly to Qin City in Hebei Province.

It was a scorching summer, and the capital was hot and stuffy, so as soon as Zeng Li’s school got out for the holidays, the whole family packed up and came to Qin City to escape the summer heat.

Qin City is known as a famous summer resort city in the world and has the reputation of "City of Paradise". Its Beidaihe seaside is one of the four largest wetlands in the world. There is no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The sand is soft and the tide is flat, and it is close to the mountains and the sea. , an excellent holiday destination.

Since the Republic of China, it has become a famous tourist area in North China. Many celebrities and politicians are also very fond of this place. Beidaihe even has its name in middle school textbooks.

About two years ago, Cao Xuan felt that the climate in the capital was getting worse and worse, so he has been looking for a livable city.

Because several members of the family have their careers in the capital, they can't live too far away and can only look for him in the north.

After careful consideration for a long time in several cities including Qin City in Hebei Province, Lian City in Liao Province, and Wei City in his hometown of Lu Province, Cao Xuan decided to buy two houses in each city.

When you look back, you can live wherever you want. When you get tired of living there, go to the next city.

Buy a few units in some livable cities in the south. If you don’t have time to stay permanently, you can just take occasional vacations.

Among them, Qin City is the closest to the capital and is a famous summer resort, so it has naturally become the first choice for the whole family.

Cao Xuan bought two adjacent single-family villas with yards in Beidaihe, known as one of the four major villa areas in China.

Once the left and right villas are opened, the area alone will be almost 1,000 square meters. The two three-story buildings can accommodate Cao Xuan's family plus many nannies and bodyguards, which is more than enough.

The most important thing is that the nearby place is relatively sensitive, and the security and privacy are extremely prominent. Cao Xuan spent a premium and had a trust relationship to get two sets.

Of course, the price is also quite impressive. You can even buy a row of villas in the capital...

"Okay, Kevin, you're welcome, we'll talk later."

Cao Xuan hung up the phone. Empress Donggong was taking little Cao Li to play on the slide. When she heard him speaking English, she couldn't help but curiously asked.

"Who?"

"President of Marvel, please reply to me about the invitation to participate in "Thor"."

Empress Donggong, who was already four months pregnant, was slightly pregnant. She simply took advantage of the fact that her family left Beijing for the summer and officially asked for sick leave from the company. The reason was that she was suffering from mental illness and needed to recuperate.

Even if you are a senior member of the group, if you use this excuse to take leave for more than half a year, you will have to take a back seat even if you are fired.

But Hu Jing's identity is different after all. The boss Cao Xuan and President Li Yante approved the leave and temporarily retained her position as vice president, but all wages, bonuses, and dividends were suspended.

In fact, if Hu Jing takes maternity leave, even if it takes a longer time, the company will not easily suspend her salary.

But it is not convenient for Hu Jing to take maternity leave, so she can only count it as sick leave. There is no relevant policy for this, and suspension of work without pay is already a special consideration.

Hu Jing is the vice president and director of the supervision department at Fanxing. She is mainly responsible for internal supervision and other high-level work.

Since becoming pregnant, Hu Jing has considered delegating power and promoted her original deputy to become minister. This has sort of taken care of the supervision department and helped her take over most of the work.

There are also a small number of jobs that can be worked remotely. She has assistants and secretaries under her, who are confidants and can run errands to cooperate.

In this way, even if Hu Jing was away, it would not affect the company's operations, so she took a leave of absence and came to Qin City to spend the summer to raise her baby.

"Did they agree?"

Cao Xuan had told them about Marvel, and Hu Jing also knew about it, and was curious whether they would make an exception for Cao Xuan.

"I agreed, but I didn't agree either."

Hu Jing: "..."

Cao Xuan smiled and explained to her: "In terms of the contract, Marvel agreed to go according to the film contract, but the requirement must be 1+1, and there are a lot of additional conditions. As for Loki, they have a long way to go with this character. They don't want to Finished with words."

"so…"

Hu Jing saw what Cao Xuan was saying, and Cao Xuan nodded to her: "They asked me if I was interested in the role of Hawkeye."

"Hawkeye?"

The Empress of the East Palace has no research on American comics at all. Cao Xuan told him about Avengers before, and she even thought that there was Superman and Batman in it.

"Hawkeye, one of the Marvel superheroes, good at archery and physical skills, and one of the first members of the Avengers."

Cao Xuan gave a brief introduction, but Hu Jing asked a very simple question after having only a half-knowledge.

"Can this Hawkeye beat Iron Man?"

"I probably can't beat him, but it's hard to say."

Cao Xuan gave an ambiguous answer. If the original Marvel movie is followed, Hawkeye will definitely not be able to defeat Iron Man, not even Black Widow. He will definitely be at the bottom of the Avengers.

But now that Marvel wants to find Cao Xuan to play Hawkeye, it is no longer possible for him to be a supporting role weakling.

Apart from other things, Cao Xuan's salary may be second only to Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man. If it is a dispensable supporting role, Marvel itself may feel that the money is wasted.

So when he called just now, Kevin had already made it clear to Cao Xuan that the eagle eye would be strengthened to a certain extent.

It's hard to say to what extent the increase will be, and it will be discussed later, but it is estimated that even if it can't compare with Thor and the Hulk, it won't be able to defeat the Black Widow.

"Do you want to take this role?"

Hu Jing saw that Cao Xuan was very interested and thought he was interested, but Cao Xuan did not deny it.

"I have some ideas, but we still need to see Marvel's sincerity in the future. If it's just soy sauce, there's no need."

Hawkeye is Cao Xuan's favorite character. Before Marvel asked him to play Loki, he was dispensable, but he wanted to play Hawkeye even more.

On the one hand, he is handsome, the characters are well-rounded, and the scenes are not endless.

Except for a few guest appearances in personal movies, they mainly revolve around the "Avengers" series, and after filming the final battle, he can retire perfectly and will not be completely bound to Marvel.

And compared to several characters with extremely distinctive characteristics such as Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man, the character of Hawkeye is relatively more inclusive, which to a certain extent reduces the problem of character restrictions.

As for getting rid of this problem completely, it is almost impossible.

Unless you are acting in a drama that no one is watching, as long as it is a hit movie or TV show, especially an outstanding role, it will definitely be remembered by the audience and form a certain fixed impression.

That's a bad thing for an actor, but it's also an honor.

The best way to do this is to shoot more movies, especially other types of roles. Use a steady stream of works to dilute the inherent impression, or enrich the actors themselves, and then break out of the limitations of the role.

Cao Xuan's participation in Marvel naturally had similar concerns.

However, he has a lot of movie series on his hands, which can be used to offset the influence of downplaying Hawkeye, but he will not stop eating due to choking.

"whatever."

Hu Jing was not very interested in this matter, stroking her belly and watching Cao Li climb up and down the slide.

She had a good relationship with Xiao Cao Li, who called her second mother. Now that she is pregnant, she is even more gentle towards the child.

In addition, she carries a little brother or sister in her belly, which makes little Cao Li hang around her every day, leaving her own mother aside. Empress Xigong is even a little jealous.

After a while, Zeng Li also came out of the house. He watched his daughter playing wildly and didn't care. He sat directly on the lounge chair under the grape tree.

"I'm exhausted from making phone calls all day long."

Hearing this, Cao Xuan wanted to massage her back, but Empress Xigong slapped her: "The child is still there."

"Okay, let me serve you."

Cao Xuan moved a horse and waved his daughter to run over and beat her mother's legs.

"My daughter is so filial, she is good at hammering. Dad will prepare delicious food for you later."

After making a few casual remarks, little Cao Li was full of energy, with a bulging face, clenching his little fists and beating the legs of Empress Xigong seriously.

Hu Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "You are really a real father, you are really willing to bully Li Li."

Cao Xuan was helpless: "My own mother doesn't feel sorry for her, so why do you call her "Quiet"?

Zeng Li lay comfortably on the recliner and enjoyed his daughter's service. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said, "I have been busy for her all morning, so she should be filial and filial to me, right, Li Li."

Little Cao Li nodded obediently: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

"Yeah, mommy's good baby."

Zeng Li, who had been enjoying it calmly just now, was instantly moved by Xiao Cao Li. He kissed his daughter's fleshy cheek and was reluctant to let Xiao Cao Li do his work. He hugged his daughter and never let go.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan had no choice but to go back to the house to find a small massage hammer and go to battle himself.

Hu Jing suppressed her smile and then asked about the business: "How is the search for Li Li's kindergarten going?"

"It's almost done. Just contact the school later."

Zeng Li was confident that little Cao Li had just celebrated her third birthday. According to the planned plan, her family planned to let her start carrying a schoolbag to school in the new semester in September this year.

So during this period of time, Nishinomiya Empress has been busy looking for a kindergarten for her daughter.

Jingsheng went through all the well-known kindergartens. In the end, he visited a dozen or even one kindergarten, and finally he had a direction.

Cao Xuan was keeping a low profile at this time, and it was also because he, the father, did not come forward in this matter, and it was all Zeng Li who was running away. I felt guilty, so I pretended to be cowardly to keep myself safe.

Nishimiya is soft-hearted and easy to talk to, so basically he can be coaxed for a day or two.

Hu Jing is more difficult to deal with. She usually has to be coaxed for several days, and sometimes she has to make some unequal treaties.

"Which one did you decide on in the end? Beihai? Donghuamen? Or Capital Normal University?"

"The kindergarten affiliated to Beijing Normal University is a bit far from our home, so I might have to trouble my parents to pick it up sometimes."

In fact, the difference between these kindergartens is not very big. A 3-year-old child cannot learn anything, and there is no need to consider the quality of teachers. As long as the teachers are patient and meticulous, and the children are easy to get along with, it will be fine.

I had previously considered sending my daughter to a private kindergarten.

But after looking at a few of them, I found that what they have is bilingual and trilingual teaching, and cultivating this spirit and that spirit, shouting every day to let the children win at the starting line.

Zeng Li had no opinion on this teaching method, but he was not willing to let his daughter participate in it.

To be realistic, with Cao Xuan's assets, the end point was reached the day Cao Li was born, and there was no need to consider the starting line.

Zeng Li didn't want to cultivate any elite talents from his daughter. He just wanted to find a down-to-earth kindergarten so that his children could grow up normally and happily.

So she looked for public kindergartens. After all, Jingshi University Kindergarten is affiliated with Jingshi University. It can be ranked high in all aspects, and its reputation is guaranteed. She won't even have to worry about her children's elementary and middle schools in the future, once and for all.

"Beijing Normal University? The Xinjiekou area of ​​Haidian is not too far away. It only takes ten minutes to drive. We will have a car at home when we arrive, so we won't waste any time."

Cao Xuan did some calculations and felt that this school was quite suitable. Like Zeng Li, he did not insist on his daughter's academic performance. She just wanted her daughter to grow up normally and be safe and happy.

But it would be even better if I could study in such a good school with a strong academic style and no messy things to interfere.

However, Hu Jing was still a little dissatisfied: "Beijing Normal University is still a little behind. Do Beijing University and Shuimu have affiliated kindergartens?"

In the view of the Empress of the East Palace, her children are the best in the world and they must go to the best schools. How can the Capital University be as famous as those two schools?

Zeng Li couldn't laugh or cry, so she gave up after telling her that the kindergarten at Beijing Normal University was better than that at Peking University.

"By the way, when registering a child, you need to fill in the parents' information. I'm fine, but you probably have to think of a pseudonym."

"Call me Cao Long. My occupation is self-employed."

Cao Xuan thought for a while and used his own seniority as a pseudonym. The seniority of his old Cao family was "Yun Guang Shou Qing Chuan Tai He Long Ming Xiang". Cao Xuan was from the "Long" generation, so his full name should be Cao Longxuan.

There was even a person named Cao Longxuan in Cao Xuan's household registration book, but Cao Shuangguo and his wife later thought it was too ugly and gave up the name Long when he was less than a year old.

As soon as he mentioned using a fake name, Cao Xuan remembered his previous name and concealed the word "Xuan".

Zeng Li did not change it, because many times we need real information about our parents, and we cannot hide both our parents' household registrations. Besides, our daughter and her household registration cannot be hidden.

To be honest, my daughter's surname is Cao, and she has a celebrity mother, Zeng Li. I can figure out the situation with just a little thought.

Fortunately, Zeng Li doesn't show up often. She is not so popular now that she has broken the circle. She only shows her name, so it won't attract attention.

At that time, as long as you say hello to the relevant teachers and leaders, the secret will basically not be leaked.

Even if the secret is leaked, it doesn’t matter. There is no substantial evidence. Boss Cao has many ways to erase the traces and confuse the public...

After finishing Xiao Cao Li's school, the family had a good celebration in the evening.

Little Cao Li, who was happily eating cake, listened to the lies of his grandparents and parents, and was full of longing for a career in kindergarten. He had no idea what going to school meant to him.

Cao Xuan himself has also successfully entered short-term vacation mode, planning to play for a month and a half before starting to work on a new album.

When he had nothing to do, he went fishing with his father. Unfortunately, he didn't catch any fish and was immediately recognized by his fishing friends. If he hadn't slipped away quickly, he might have been surrounded.

That night, Cao Xuan went fishing with his father, and the video of him running away after being recognized became a hot search on Weibo. Then countless netizens knew that Cao Xuan and his family had come to Qin City.

There is no way, now is the Weibo self-media era, information spreads too fast.

If Cao Xuan could occasionally dress up in disguise and fish in troubled waters before, he could calmly leave even if he was recognized, without even having any follow-up.

Nowadays, not only is it more and more difficult to disguise yourself, but even big and small things have to be reported in hot searches on the Internet. Your whereabouts are nowhere to be found, and your privacy space is constantly being squeezed.

In order to divert attention and prevent these netizens from coming to look for his family, Cao Xuan could only disclose his itinerary.

He posted invitation tickets to the South Africa World Cup finals on Weibo, and he also diligently answered questions in the comment area, successfully bringing the popularity from Qin City to the World Cup finals.

[Boss, are you going to perform in the finals? Cannot reveal which song is sung]

Cao Xuan: "There is no program, just watching the game live."

[I read that "Waka Waka" was written by you, why did you sing it for Shakira]

Cao Xuan: "I don't know how to dance buttocks."

[Who are you more optimistic about in the finals? 】

Cao Xuan: "Spain, I think the Matador Legion looks like a champion."

[I don’t believe it, one month’s salary earned from moving bricks is better than the Netherlands, long live the tulips]

Cao Xuan: "Give me your address later and I'll send you some instant noodles."

[Do you know Paul the Octopus? Do you think this thing is really magical or is it a deliberate hype?]

Cao Xuan: "It's hard to say, but I am more inclined to hype."

[Teacher Cao, what do you think about Jay Chou’s new album "Crossing the Era", which was judged to be a waste of talent?]

Cao Xuan: "I haven't listened yet. I'll listen later."

[Boss, when will the new album be released? 】

Cao Xuan: "Production has started and it should be online early next year."

…

Cao Xuan responded to more than a hundred comments and revealed a lot of news, which also sent Penguin Weibo into a carnival.

Since that afternoon, the hot searches related to Cao Xuan have not stopped, refreshing one by one, which is dizzying.

【#Caoxuan,World Cup#】

[#Caoxuan is optimistic about Spain winning the championship#]

【#Caoxuan, butt shaking dance#】

[#Cao Xuan bluntly said that he did not listen to "Cross Era"#]

【#Caoxuan, new album#】

【……】

Someone has carefully counted, and Cao Xuan's more than 100 comments have ended up on a total of 29 hot searches, with a proportion of nearly 1/4. He can be called a hot search maniac.

This shows Cao Xuan's influence. He is a hot search topic that others can only ask for. He just replies to some comments and easily dominates the screen.

If Cao Xuan comes so many times a month, and the Weibo boss has to hug Cao Xuan and kiss him a few times, the media will not have to worry about material.

However, other celebrities who have been hotly searched for are unlucky, and they may be trying to trick Cao Xuan behind his back.

Cao Xuan himself doesn't care too much about the turmoil on Weibo, as long as no one pays attention to Qin City anymore.

At his level, unless it is during the promotion stage, he would rather have no one care about him. It is better to become a "passed artist", the kind who can't even be listed on the hot searches.

Even Cao Xuan was a little envious of Wang Banbi. It would be great if he had such a passive skill that could not grab the headlines. Being too famous is also a worry.

Wang Banbi: "\u0026#%￥￥?￡"

On July 11, Cao Xuan watched the World Cup final at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa.

I don’t know if it was his butterfly effect, but this time the Dutch team Robben scored the single goal that was lost in time and space. Unfortunately, the Spanish team Torres had already taken the lead by one goal.

In the end, the two sides fought to a 1:1 tie, and Iniesta still scored the winner in overtime.

Watch the Matador Legion lift the Hercules Cup.

Cao Xuan was very pleased that the netizen's instant noodles could be sent out, but it was a pity that the Laotan pickled cabbage flavor was not available yet...
