China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 44 You still have to worry about relationships

"Did you really shoot the entire movie in fourteen days? And set a record?"

In Chen Jingxing's house, Tang Xin and Chen Jingxing chatted while eating.

Chen Jingxing opened a box of yogurt, scooped out a full spoonful with a small plastic spoon and handed it to Qiqi. He saw the corgi's tail wagging wildly and its tongue starting to lick crazily.

"Those are all made up by unscrupulous marketing accounts. First of all, the movie has not been finished yet. There are still two scenes to be shot. There are still ten days to complete. Secondly, there are many movies with shorter shooting time than fourteen days.

, how is it possible to set a record? My first movie only took a week to shoot."

"Why is there so much negative news about you and the movie you made in the past few days? Wasn't your movie co-produced with Huanshi.com? Doesn't Huanshi.com have public opinion crisis management?"

Tang Xin was a little puzzled. Although Xiangshi has not yet been listed on the market, it still has a team dedicated to handling public opinion crises. They are all Internet companies. It is impossible that Huanshi.com does not have corresponding department settings and public opinion response capabilities?

Just as Chen Jingxing was about to explain, a WeChat video request popped up on his phone.

The WeChat remark name is Teacher Yang.

Since WeChat was recently updated to include the video call function, the contact between the two teachers and Chen Jingxing has changed from phone calls to WeChat video calls. The original intention was of course to check on their son's living and working conditions.

"Have you already bought it? Got the real estate certificate? Pay the down payment? Buying a house is such a big deal and you didn't even tell your family?" Teacher Chen didn't hold back.

Teacher Yang glared at his wife, "The girl is still here, why don't you think it's embarrassing to ask so urgently? Since they are neighbors, it's probably their own house, and they may be locals in the capital, so you can't show your cowardice."

People's jokes.

Chen Jingxing used his eyes to indicate to Tang Xin that if he minded, he could hide for a while or go back to his house opposite.

Tang Xin: "..." Although it is indeed an objective fact, it sounds weird. Chen Jingxing asked her to bring food from the company canteen to her on WeChat, saying that she brought it back from the company after eating it last time.

I think the rice tastes very good. I haven’t eaten it for more than ten days and I really miss the taste. It sounds like I took the initiative to serve you at your door?

"Is your friend here too?" Teacher Yang's sharp eyes caught Chen Jingxing's eyes as he looked across from him.

"What's the inconvenience?"

"That's good, that's good. That's the reason. It's hard to cook alone, and it's easy to have leftovers. You and Xiao Jing are neighbors, so it's convenient. Xiao Jing, is this house rented by you?"

Teacher Yang ended the conversation with the girl with the utmost restraint and changed the topic. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so don't rush.

Qi Qi put her legs on the table and tried to reach it, trying to see what was making the noise. But her legs were too short, so she could only jump around and scream in anger.

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

Tang Xin did have the thought of avoiding it for a moment, but then he thought, she brought the food and she hadn't finished it yet, so why should she avoid it because of a video call?

She is not a shady person. Since Chen Jingxing is so generous and doesn't mind, what does she care about? Doesn't it mean that she cares...she has a guilty conscience? What is there to feel guilty about in a pure friendship? Chen Jingxing is not even embarrassed.

, why is she afraid of embarrassment?

Besides, she was also a little curious about the parents who could cultivate a talented director like Chen Jingxing. Before, whether they were chatting over meals or on WeChat, the two of them had never communicated about their family situations. Tang Xin had also been speculating about the ability to cultivate such a talented director.

Chen Jingxing should come from a film and television or performing arts family with a family tradition, right? Or a literati family?

"Why did it take so long to pick up? Are you eating?" Teacher Yang said while looking at Chen Jingxing carefully. Well, it's not bad. He doesn't seem to be tanned or lose weight. It seems that although the filming environment is difficult, he didn't suffer much.

bitter.

Chen Jingxing turned the phone over: "You didn't rent it, I bought it."

Tang Xin quickly wiped his mouth with a tissue, smoothed his hair, and made an OK gesture.

"Is it convenient?"

Chen Jingxing watched helplessly as the faces on the phone screen changed from Teacher Yang to Teacher Yang and Teacher Chen.

"Full payment? How much is it?" Teacher Yang couldn't hold back, but still tried hard to keep his tone calm.

After all, Tang Xin is the veteran backbone of a start-up company. He has been tested in social situations for a long time, and he calmly faces the turned mobile phone camera with a decent smile.

"Yeah, the food I brought is too much for one person to finish, so it's just right for two people."

He looked at Tang Xin and asked for his opinion with his eyes.

"I bought it after the last movie was released. Not long ago, I bought it in full. Doesn't this give you a place to stay when you come to the capital to see your son."

Any parent would be shocked when they suddenly hear that their son has spent millions to buy a house in a first-tier city.

"Five million and one million, but the ownership hasn't been transferred yet. Then I may have to pay a small 100,000 yuan for the deed tax." Chen Jingxing has already made up his mind to use the movie "Comet" to clear all his money in front of his parents.

"Did you cook the food yourself? You just returned to the capital and had a good rest. Don't be too tired...Why does it seem like there is a dog barking?"

Chen Jingxing glanced at Tang Xin, who was sitting opposite him, and saw her indifferent expression before replying: "I just returned to Beijing. A friend came to see me, and she brought the food."

"No trouble, uncle and aunt, we are neighbors and live across the street. I am usually busy with work and often don't have time to cook. These dishes are also brought from the company canteen. It saves a lot for the two of us to eat together.

effort."

So as soon as Chen Jingxing returned to Beijing, the two teachers couldn't wait to make a video call. Although they knew that Chen Jingxing was not short of money now, it was still the parents' uncontrollable instinct to care about their children's accommodation and living conditions in other places.

"Oh, are you your college classmate? You said that you can't even take care of yourself in the capital. You even have to have friends bring you food. It's really troublesome. Your dad and I need to thank him." Teacher Yang.

I swallowed back the words "male and female" that reached my throat. As expected of a Chinese teacher, I reorganized the appropriate language in an instant.

Although the two teachers had already made some preparations, they were still shocked. Although they did not look carefully, they could still observe that the house was quite large, with some simple decorations and not much furniture, making it appear a bit empty.

, it’s not that kind of cramped small house, and when you think about the housing prices in Beijing, well, it’s a bit scary.

"Thank you for taking care of him. Sorry to trouble you. Xiaojing is busy with work and his ability to take care of himself is a bit poor. It's not easy for you young people to make it in big cities. As the saying goes, you rely on friends when you go out. Friends can help each other.

Helping and taking care of you can make parents feel at ease."

It just happened to be that Chen Jingxing was out filming, and the accommodation and filming conditions were very difficult, so I only saw the working conditions, and I still didn't know the conditions of the place where I lived in the capital.

"More than five million?" Teacher Yang and Teacher Chen looked at each other. Even if they knew it was the capital, this number was too shocking. The house that Teacher Yang's second brother's children planned to buy with the target's family in Shenzhen City cost four hundred yuan.

Wan, I borrowed money from their family to pay for the down payment of 750,000. My son, my son bought a house in Beijing with the full payment of 5 million?

"Buying early is more cost-effective. Housing prices in first-tier cities will continue to rise in the future. Buying a house in the capital is not actually a consumption, but a low-risk and high-yield investment. No matter how many millions you have, it will not be wasted. Just imagine

You can make money by depositing high-interest time deposits in the bank. I'm quite busy right now, so I forgot to tell you." Chen Jingxing tried his best to make it easier for the two teachers to accept the five million house purchase.

Chen Jingxing and Tang Xin looked at each other.

Tang Xin realized what Chen Jingxing meant. Chen Jingxing didn't mind Tang Xin being around, but he was afraid that Tang Xin would mind.

"It makes sense for you to say that. We are afraid that you will spend it randomly after you suddenly make so much money. Buying a house is not considered a waste of money. This house still seems a bit empty. You are busy with work. Your mother and I will come to you when you are free.

Then go and watch and reinstall it for you. That’s it. I won’t disturb you while you’re eating. I’m hanging up.”

Teacher Chen just pressed the red button, and Teacher Yang complained: "Aren't you still going to talk about his movie on the Internet? Why did you just hang up?"

"Oh, there are two of us having a meal together. If you keep chatting, won't the food get cold? They can't eat well either. With these public opinions on the Internet, let's ask later, what are you worried about? Your son knows it well, five hundred

I bought Wan's house as soon as I said I wanted to, and when your children grow up, you don't have to worry about it."

Teacher Yang just complained casually. She was still in a very good mood during today's video call: "Okay, we really can't worry about his career, but I still have to worry about his relationship."
