After the Spring Festival, Dong Xi went to sweep the old man's grave, and then returned to the Taoist temple to meditate under the ginkgo tree for a long time, letting his physical and mental exhaustion slowly melt away in the winter afternoon sunshine.

So he embarked on the road back to Beijing, or in other words, fled his hometown early, and his sister Dong Wen ran with him.

There was nothing important that required him to return to the capital. The main reason was that there were too many people coming for blind dates, and the threshold of the Dong family was almost leveled.

This group of people is still self-aware. Dong Xi and the others are unable to reach a higher level, but this does not prevent them from saving the country through curves.

Isn’t the eldest son of the Dong family still waiting to be married?

Even if you can't be Dong Xi's bedfellow, it would be great to be the great director's brother-in-law.

In addition, Dong Wen's own conditions are not bad. He graduated from a prestigious university, is 1.72 meters tall, and has a beautiful appearance.

Absolutely human high quality women.

Although the Dong family doesn't have any random relatives, the relationship between the neighbors is still good, and people who come to visit us on blind dates are well-intentioned, right?

After all, Dong Wen was indeed quite old, and Dong Xi still expected her to give birth to a child for him to play with.

As the saying goes, an uncle plays with his nephew, and it’s only natural!

So looking at Dong Wen sitting in the passenger seat, Dong Xi still curled his lips in disgust: "No one wants you, do you need me to introduce one to you?"

"Are you itchy? It's your turn to take care of my business!" To outsiders, Dong Wen has always been a well-educated and good girl, but when she is with her younger brother, her true nature will show up.

Typical nest!

"Speak with respect, I am your boss." Dong Xi threatened using his identity.

"You're a fart!" Dong Wen didn't accept this at all, but she suddenly hesitated.

"There is indeed someone chasing me recently..."

"Haha, who is chasing you blindly?" Before she could finish her words, Dong Xi burst out laughing.

This time he stung a hornet's nest. Dong Wen didn't even bother to talk to him until he got off the bus.

Depressed, Dong Xi had to return to his residence alone with a cart of donkey meat and big steamed buns.

These were all prepared by their parents for the two siblings before they left. It was not convenient for Dong Wen to cook, so he gave them all to Dong Xi.

There wasn't much food, and with Dong Xi's appetite, he could eat with his cheeks open for more than half a month.

Most of the employees of Xizi Film and Television are on vacation, leaving only a small number of staff on duty, keeping an eye on the box office trend of "Mr. Plan".

As Fan Xiaopang showed off his singing voice at the Spring Festival Gala, it became the focus of the newspaper report the next day.

It can be said that in this Spring Festival Gala, Fan Xiaopang is second only to Lao Zhao of Fengshen. He has extremely high popularity among young people, especially young girls.

There are countless girls who imitate her dress and makeup. Although there is no website like Weibo that can directly feedback the popularity, you can clearly feel the trend of the trend when walking on the street.

It is to move closer to the persona created by the company for Fan Xiaopang. This kind of dress is not Harajuku style or anything non-mainstream.

Instead, it has a nice name - "candy punk", which is sweet and decadent.

Wearing cheap things with a sense of luxury is the pursuit of this style.

After all, young girls don’t have much money, but they still yearn for dressing up with distinctive personality.

The appearance of Fan Xiaopang can be said to have poked an itch deep in their hearts.

The most direct manifestation of his popularity is the increase in endorsements. Fan Xiaopang is becoming the company's most profitable artist.

Although she herself is somewhat resistant to this kind of dressing up, after all, she has always wanted to take the light and sophisticated route.

In this regard, Dong Xi specifically tried to calm her down. Are you saying that a girl who has just turned 20 years old is going to act like a mature woman?

It doesn't mean you have a big penis and you have a charming feeling, it takes time to settle.

Of course, having more relationships can help you mature quickly, but this is obviously not part of the company's plan.

Even people in the industry believe that Fan Xiaopang is Dong Xi's "fruit" and no one dares to take a chance on her.

After the year, Xizi Film and Television's first move was to move the entire office space to Xizi Building.

The date has also been determined to be February 24th, which is also the day on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head.

This day was an auspicious day chosen by Dong Xi after many calculations.

Various invitations are also being produced. Han Sanping has already confirmed the move-in activities to the new location and has prepared a big gift for Xizi Film and Television.

Originally, there were no major events during the Chinese New Year, and the entertainment industry also became unusually quiet.

But at 5:30 a.m. Western Time on February 13, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 73rd Academy Awards in 2001.

The American film "Gladiator" received 12 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

This is nothing, but the following "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also received 10 nominations including Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film.

This is the third time in the history of the Academy Awards that the same film has been nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film.

In fact, Americans have basically zero knowledge of martial arts. They translated this movie word for word as "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".

It sounds like a zoo, and the Chinese name of this movie is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

With the announcement of the Oscar nominations, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which has been in theaters in the United States for nine weeks, is getting stronger and stronger. Its ranking on the box office list has only risen but not dropped, climbing one or two places every week.

This situation made the entire Chinese film industry look sideways, and everyone knew that this film would make history.

Although they are not as eager to prove themselves in the West as Japan and South Korea, exporting reverse culture has always been the goal of people with lofty ideals.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a light action martial arts film that is very common to mainland audiences and is not a novelty.

When it was released in China last year, it was criticized wildly and thought it was old-fashioned.

The box office barely exceeded 10 million, but for foreigners who can get excited watching the fights in "The Matrix", this is the freshest thing.

Coupled with the Oscar bonus, what height will the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" reach?

All Chinese filmmakers are looking forward to it.

There are already "experts" in newspapers who are frantically raising the topic and shouting loud slogans.

【Only blockbusters can save Chinese-language movies!】

The first major director to respond to these slogans was Lao Mouzi, who had just failed miserably during the Lunar New Year.

Zhang Weiping of New Picture Pictures was the first to step forward and announced that he would invest in a billion-dollar martial arts blockbuster to be directed by Zhang Yimou.

However, there is no script yet, the actors are yet to be determined, and the funds are not yet available.

But it has already made the whole circle excited.

On February 20, the new "Film Management Regulations" were promulgated, affirming private production in the form of legal provisions for the first time, and lowering the entry threshold for film production.

Subsequently, Xizi Film and Television obtained the second industry access license - "License for Film Production (Single Film)" and officially entered upstream production.

Dong Xi, who was quietly making a fortune, also announced that the company's housewarming ceremony would be held on February 24th.

At the same time, the company's full-year work plan report for 2001 will also be announced to the outside world.
Chapter completed!
