Chapter 172 Li Xiaoran’s decision

After another passionate night.

Afterwards, Yu Feihong sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the cigarette case from the bedside table, and took out a woman's cigarette from it.

She smokes.

Qi Wei wisely took out a lighter and lit a fire.

Yu Feihong glanced at Qi Wei, who was looking at him with a smile, and did not refuse.

The cigarette was lit and she started puffing away.

"I remember you don't smoke, and you seem to mind others smoking in front of you," she said.

"Sister Fei, it seems that you still care about me very much. You even know that I don't smoke."

Qi Wei replied with a smile, and blurted out his love words skillfully, "I do mind when others smoke in front of me, but if it's you, I don't mind, and I'm willing to change for you."

"Really? Then you should smoke one too." Yu Feihong handed the cigarette box in front of Qi Wei.

Protecting your voice is a basic quality for a professional singer. Normally Qi Wei does not smoke.

But it doesn't hurt to have one now and then.

In "Never Close Eyes", there is a scene where the male protagonist smokes. During the filming, Qi Wei puffed away.

Qi Wei smiled and shook his head. He did not take out a cigarette from the cigarette case that Yu Feihong handed over, but directly took the cigarette that Yu Feihong held in his mouth.

He took a puff and emphasized again in the smoke: "I am willing to change for you."

Then he added, "This cigarette smells different because it smells like you. I like it very much."

After saying that, he handed the cigarette in his hand to Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong took her cigarette. She stared at the sparkling cigarette butt and watched the green smoke rising up. She was stunned for a while before saying:

"Something happened between you and me that shouldn't have happened. This does not mean that there is love between you and me."

"Sister Fei, you can't fool anyone by your physical reaction. You were obviously more proactive and passionate last night."

"That's just because I haven't for a long time."

"Long drought brings good rain, right?"

She nodded in acquiescence, not wanting to admit her feelings for Qi Wei after all.

She looked at Qi Wei and couldn't help but think of a way to deceive herself and others.

She took out her wallet from her bag, took out a banknote from her wallet and gave it to Qi Wei.

"Why did you give me the money?" Qi Wei looked at the banknotes in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's very common in the United States for women to seek out young cowherds to relieve their loneliness," she explained.

"So you think of me as a cowherd?"

"Your service is indeed not bad." She replied with a smile.

For Yu Feihong, this was self-deception, but Qi Wei regarded it as a kind of fun.

"Then when will you come again."

Yu Feihong glanced at Qi Wei. She didn't expect Qi Wei to be so thick-skinned.

"We'll talk about it later. Anyway, I don't want it now."

For two nights, Qi Wei really satisfied her.

"Can."

Qi Wei got up and had simply put on his clothes. Before leaving, he said with a smile: "Call me if you need anything. I'll be on call. But if you don't call me for a long time, I will deliver the goods to you."

When the time comes, you will have to ask for it even if you don’t want it.”

"Get out of here." She was a little "angry" and drove Qi Wei out of the apartment.

It is indeed difficult to conquer a woman like Yu Feihong for one or two nights, and it is very likely that the passion will fade away.

But Qi Wei, who had been aroused to conquer, was naturally unwilling to end like this.

He is willing to play a long game of conquest.

At the premiere of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", Qi Wei received news from Xu Qing.

She was filming the TV series "Come and Go" and she didn't come here on leave.

The filming of this TV series has been completed.

That is to say, Li Xiaoran, who participated in this drama, has returned to Beijing.

I haven't seen her for a while.

After leaving Yu Feihong's apartment, Qi Wei went to Li Xiaoran's golden house to hide his beauty.

And Mr. Zhou is also there.

"Hey, haven't you already joined the filming of "Daming Palace Ci"? Why are you here?"

When he came to Li Xiaoran and saw Mr. Zhou, Qi Wei said in surprise.

Filming of "Da Ming Gong Ci" directed by Li Shaohong started in mid-October.

"Did you forget that the interior scenes were filmed in the capital, and now the exterior scenes are only shot in Zhuozhou?" Mr. Zhou replied.

"Daming Palace Ci" is currently being filmed in Beijing and Zhuozhou, and Zhuozhou is only more than an hour's drive from the capital.

This also led to the fact that Chen Hong, the heroine of this drama, lived at home in Beijing during the filming period.

Mr. Zhou added: "Yesterday was the premiere of Director Chen's new movie, and I also participated in it. I took leave yesterday to attend the premiere."

"Didn't you run out secretly?"

"How could it be? Director Li Shaohong likes me so much. She approved of it."

Director Li Shaohong really likes very smart girls like Mr. Zhou. Of course, there is another reason why he dotes on her.

That is, Mr. Zhou was recommended by Qi Wei to audition for her crew. Director Li Shaohong was very aware of the relationship between Qi Wei and Mr. Zhou.

"Then why didn't I see you at the premiere yesterday?" Qi Wei asked again.

"I saw you," she replied.

"Then why don't you say hello to me?"

"I see you are hugging each other, I guess you don't want anyone to disturb you."

As soon as Mr. Zhou said these words, Qi Wei was sure that Mr. Zhou had really attended the premiere of Director Li's movie.

Qi Wei quickly covered Mr. Zhou's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. It won't be good if Xiaoran hears it."

Li Xiaoran knew that Qi Wei had other women.

Although she turned a blind eye to this matter, out of respect for her, Qi Wei never mentioned other women in front of her.

She didn't want anyone to mention it in front of her.

The same goes for Qi Wei with other women.

Mr. Zhou blinked at Qi Wei with her big, smart and beautiful eyes. After Qi Wei let go, she burst out laughing.

At this time, Li Xiaoran came out of the kitchen with fruit salad. In fact, she had heard the conversation between Qi Wei and Mr. Zhou, but she was clever and pretended not to hear it.

She put the fruit salad on the coffee table, then sat next to Qi Wei, inserted a toothpick into a cubed apple piece, and fed it to Qi Wei's mouth, and then asked:

"What were you talking about just now? You were having so much fun talking."

"We didn't talk about anything, we just talked about the premiere of Director Chen's new movie yesterday." Qi Wei quickly replied, and then gave Mr. Zhou a hint with his eyes.

"Is Director Chen's new movie good? I heard it's a blockbuster with an investment of more than 70 million, so it should be very good." Li Xiaoran asked.

"What should I say? If you go to the cinema to see this movie, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Before Li Xiaoran could reply, Master Zhou asked, "Why don't you like this movie?"

After all, Zhou Gongzi participated in this movie. Although she was only a small supporting role in it, if such a blockbuster movie is a big hit at the box office, even her small supporting role with a small role will gain a lot of fame.

Therefore, she is ambitious and hopes that this movie will be a box office hit.

But judging from the reaction at last night's premiere, it may be difficult for this movie to be a hit at the box office.

Qi Wei thought for a while and replied: "In my opinion, the movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" can only be regarded as a qualified movie at best. There are many problems in it. The simplest one is that it is not down to earth. Director Chen's

There is a big difference between the idea and the cognition of ordinary viewers. How can ordinary viewers think of so many artistic things?"

In fact, in China, many directors will be like Director Chen. When they first debuted, they could still maintain their true intentions and make some down-to-earth works. When they become famous, they will continue to work on their own.

Add something to your work that makes it unique.

And this often makes them isolated from the public, which makes their works no longer liked by the audience, and it is difficult to obtain satisfactory box office.

Even Feng Xiaogang, who is famous for making commercial movies that cater to the audience's taste, has also had incidents in later generations where he called the audience trash.

Li Xiaoran and Mr. Zhou were both insiders, and Qi Wei even planned to develop Li Xiaoran into a producer, so he began to analyze the issues of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" from a professional perspective.

"First of all, the visuals of this movie are boring.

The film "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" cost more than 70 million to produce. With such a high investment, it is a big gimmick and can easily attract audiences to the cinema.

What do the audiences who are attracted to the cinema want to see? They expect to see the grand scene of thousands of troops with such a high investment, but in the movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", he mainly invested in static objects.

Instead of focusing on the vivid pictures, the war scenes inside are like a pool of stagnant water, which is boring to watch.

And this will make the audience feel cheated and not know where the money was spent."

Many domestic movies of this era are always like a small world inside a wall of earth.

Once the audience is induced to come in, the audience will be trapped in the small earth-yellow world, making it impossible for the audience's imagination to run wildly, now in the mud of the yellow earth.

This problem also appeared in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".

In fact, the audience at this time did not like this scene.

Although the various colorful scenes in Lao Mouzi's movies look a bit gaudy and sometimes even inconsistent with the background of the times, they are more like the visual impact that a blockbuster film should have.

At the very least, the audience can feel from the picture that the money was really spent.

This is also an important reason why Lao Mouzi will be successful in later commercial blockbusters.

Qi Wei still analyzed: "Secondly, Director Chen's film contains too many of his own things, making the whole story a bit confusing."

Are you familiar with this routine of creating an incident, blaming it on others, and then launching an attack?

Director Chen also played this trick in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".

Qin Shihuang wanted to attack Yan State, so he sent a woman as an undercover agent to create an excuse.

Then the scene of Jing Ke’s assassination of King Qin was arranged.

Yes, this scene in the movie was designed by King Qin himself.

Logically speaking, all this is under the control of the King of Qin, but in the movie, in order to return to the original historical trajectory, he began to intentionally or unintentionally avoid this previously arranged fact, as if the King of Qin did not know, facing the assassination

At that time, I was caught off guard and very passive. I was panicked and finally saved the day.

This makes the movie feel disjointed in its story.

In fact, there are more problems in the story than this. When the daughter of Zhao, played by Gong Li, regretted the death of Yan State, she had so many opportunities to assassinate Qin, but she just didn't do it.

The plot is full of errors and omissions in many places and cannot be justified at all.

"The last point is the character issue."

The description of Qin Shihuang recorded in the history books is: "The King of Qin was a man, accurate as a bee, long-eyed, fond of birds, loud as a jackal, seldom gracious but with the heart of a tiger and a wolf. He easily got out of others when he was in agreement, and even ate people lightly when he succeeded."

This description is actually basically consistent with the character played by Mr. Li Xuejian in the movie. His acting skills are indeed very good, but they do not conform to the impression in the minds of ordinary people.

How can this satisfy ordinary viewers?

Ordinary people don't have the level of "knowledge" and pursuit of art that Director Chen has. Ordinary people just watch movies for entertainment.

"I didn't expect that Director Chen's film would have so many problems."

After listening to Qi Wei's eloquent analysis, Mr. Zhou also realized the problem, and she murmured to herself.

Then he asked Qi Wei: "So how much do you estimate the box office of Director Chen's film will be in the end?"

"How much is the box office?" Qi Wei recalled a little and said: "I don't know the situation abroad. If we only look at the domestic box office, it will not exceed 20 million. I even think it will be difficult to get 15 million."

Later, Director Chen's film only earned just over 10 million in China.

A box office of 10 million is considered a very good box office result at this time, and may even enter the box office rankings, but for a movie with an investment of more than 70 million, it is obviously not enough.

Domestic investors are unable to recover their costs and can only be described as failures.

Qi Wei then said to Li Xiaoran: "If you are interested, you can watch this movie. You can regard it as a failure case. When you become a producer in the future, I will also let you be involved in movies. It is very likely that you will encounter such a situation."

Problems should attract lessons and try to avoid this problem."

Li Xiaoran nodded. She took Qi Wei's words to heart, but at the moment she had more important things to do.

When Qi Wei comes to Li Xiaoran, he will definitely not have a simple chat.

We haven't seen each other for a while, and the accumulated passion should be released.

After the warm day, the passionate night soon came.

Mr. Zhou suddenly opened the door of Li Xiaoran's bedroom.

"Why did you come in?" Mr. Zhou suddenly broke in, which startled Li Xiaoran, but she remembered to have locked the door.

She quickly put the things in her hands behind her back.

"Hey, don't make a fuss, I just gave you the key to your bedroom." She said proudly, turning the gleaming key in her finger.

Then he asked: "Where is Qi Wei?"

"He's taking a shower."

As soon as Li Xiaoran reminded him, Mr. Zhou also noticed the sound of Qi Wei singing while taking a shower in the bedroom bathroom.

"You haven't started yet?" Mr. Zhou asked with a smile.

Li Xiaoran rolled his eyes at Mr. Zhou and said, "Didn't we agree that I would play the first half and you would play the second half?"

"I think he prefers us to be together, hehe."

This made Li Xiaoran couldn't help but recall what happened last time.

The picture is indeed quite charming, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to recall it.

Although she knew Qi Wei would like him more, she still refused: "I think it's better to forget it this time. I haven't seen him for a while. I miss him very much and I just want to be alone with him."

There was always something wrong, and Master Zhou soon discovered some clues.

"What are you hiding behind your back?"

"Nothing, nothing." Mr. Zhou's question made Li Xiaoran panic.

Mr. Zhou would not believe this, so she slowly stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiaoran's hand with lightning speed.

Although Mr. Zhou is small in stature, he is quite strong.

Soon, she saw clearly what was in Li Xiaoran's hand.

One hand holds a safety balloon and the other hand holds a needle.

"Did he agree to this?" the shocked Mr. Zhou asked in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."

Li Xiaoran shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said: "Whether he agrees or not, I have decided to do this."
