In 2003, very few people went to cinemas to watch movies.
Even in a capital city like Beijing, the number of audiences in the cinema is only a few.
Compared with the traffic era when the economic level has been fully developed, today's movie market is not prosperous. Compared with the appeal of TV series, movies are far behind.
After all, movies cost money and TV series are free.
For the people whose average salary is not high now, spending money to watch a movie is worse than buying a pound of pork.
However, this situation makes Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei satisfied.
In the empty screening hall, there were enough seats for about 180 people, so there were only about ten people seated, and they were all seated in the middle and front.
For the two people whose purpose is to fall in love rather than watch a movie, it is most suitable to sit in the last corner. There is no one around them, and the places where there are people are far away from them.
Because they wanted to eat popcorn, the two of them finally let go of their hands that seemed to be stained by glue.
On such a hot day, it’s time to wipe the sweat from your palms.
The screening room became dark, with only the movie playing on the screen flickering. Under such an environment, both of them temporarily took off their disguises.
Liu Yifei held a bucket of popcorn in her left hand. From time to time, she reached into the bucket with her right hand and took out one popcorn and put it in her mouth. She leaned her head on Chu Xuan's left shoulder. Her eyes looking at the screen became nervous at one moment and slightly frightened at the other.
.
"Do you like watching zombie movies?" Chu Xuan said with a low smile. It is not appropriate to speak loudly in the screening room.
"Alice is so awesome!" Liu Yifei said, looking at Alice's decisive and clean way of fighting zombies on the screen, she felt so cool.
What is playing on the screen is "Resident Evil 2", a super IP zombie movie series that became popular all over the world in its previous life.
Milla Jovovich, the heroine, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people when she plays the role of Alice. She really does a good job, and there are not many actors in the world who can play the role of Alice.
Chu Xuan looked at the screen and suddenly smiled, saying: "I think if you have a chance in the future, you can try to participate in this kind of movie."
Liu Yifei's hand holding a piece of popcorn paused for a moment, her head leaning on Chu Xuan's shoulder tilted, she looked at Chu Xuan head-on, and said with some surprise: "Me?"
Chu Xuan smiled and put his arms around Liu Yifei's shoulders. Liu Yifei leaned on Chu Xuan's neck. She ate a popcorn and heard Chu Xuan say: "You have some heroic spirit between your eyebrows, which makes you suitable for playing certain roles."
Action movie. If I were the producer of this movie and you were the heroine, I would package you and let you play the role of a female doctor who knows martial arts. She usually looks weak in a white coat and glasses.
Doctor, you kill zombies cleanly and neatly, thus showing your prowess. This kind of contrast is more suitable for your image."
Chu Xuan's smile grew thicker and he said: "You are not suitable to play a role like Alice, which has big action scenes. If you act like Alice with a high energy throughout the whole process, the audience will be disappointed, because you are so
Your face doesn’t look very ruthless, but if your image combines the softness and neatness of a Chinese chivalrous woman, it won’t be a big deal.”
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it true?"
Chu Xuan smiled broadly and changed the topic: "If I create a Chinese version of Resident Evil in the future and you become the heroine, do you dare to play the role?"
Liu Yifei raised her head and glared. She was not suspicious of how Chu Xuan could make such a movie. Instead, she said clearly: "Why don't I dare to act?"
Chu Xuan's smile became even thicker and he said, "Let's talk about it later."
Hearing what Chu Xuan said, Liu Yifei leaned back on Chu Xuan's shoulder. She only regarded Chu Xuan's words as a joke and did not take them seriously.
When talking about movies, Liu Yifei suddenly thought of something. She muttered: "Speaking of movies, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Chu Xuan whispered.
"My mother is going to pick up two movies for me." When Liu Yifei said this, she stopped eating popcorn, raised her head slightly, and leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder to look at him.
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What movie?"
Liu Yifei blinked and said: "One is called "Love in May" and the other is called "Love Winner". The two dramas are about falling in love."
Chu Xuan recalled it. It wasn't that he didn't pay attention to the market. He had never heard of the names of these two movies.
But when Liu Yifei said this, Chu Xuan frowned and said, "Is there a kissing scene?"
A cunning look flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes and she said: "Yes."
"Then don't act." Chu Xuan said decisively.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei burst out laughing instantly, her body shaking with laughter.
When Chu Xuan saw her like this, he knew that he had been deceived by her again.
"You lied to me, right?" Although Chu Xuan raised a smile, he looked like he had no way to deal with Liu Yifei.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's hand and rubbed it with a smile in her eyes, as if to tell him not to be angry, and said: "There won't be any passionate scenes, just a normal relationship. My mother wants to take it, but I don't want to act."
Chu Xuan was really relieved when he heard that there was no passionate scene.
Seeing the person he likes performing passionate scenes, he thought he was not that generous.
This has nothing to do with whether you are broad-minded or not. This is only accepted by people who are mentally ill.
And when he heard that Liu Yifei didn't want to act, Chu Xuan was very happy, but he was also surprised and asked, "Why don't you want to act?"
Liu Yifei raised her head that was leaning on Chu Xuan's shoulder. Suddenly she looked like a queen. She reached out and pinched Chu Xuan's chin to straighten Chu Xuan's head and look into her eyes.
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Because the person I like is you, so I don't want to fall in love with anyone, even if it's just acting."
Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, opened his mouth but was speechless.
What is touching?
Perhaps this is what sounds ordinary.
Seeing him like this, Liu Yifei smiled, leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder again, and said: "You won't act in dramas like "The Talented Man and the Beautiful Woman" in the future, okay?"
Chu Xuan recovered from the silence and said with a smile: "What if the heroine is you?"
Liu Yifei raised her head and smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Chu Xuan tightened his arms around Liu Yifei's shoulders and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Liu Yifei felt happy in her heart.
If she hadn't fallen in love with Chu Xuan, her mother would have just made do with these two dramas.
But she had someone she liked in her heart, and after hearing her mother talk about the plots of these two dramas, she felt very rejected.
She already has a boyfriend and wants to fall in love with someone else. What does this mean?
Although for actors, drama is greater than heaven.
But she feels that this sentence needs to add a premise, that is, it only holds true under her principles.
However, there is still a difficult question.
"But my mother seems to have a heart attack, what should I do?" Liu Yifei frowned.
In the past, she never refused any job her mother arranged for her.
Facing her mother, the mother who raised her up, she had no reason to refuse.
But this time she wanted to refuse, but she seemed to have no choice.
For a moment, Liu Yifei felt a little anxious.
"Which company invested in these two movies? Which crew? Do you know?" Chu Xuan asked.
"I don't know, I just know it's a movie from Baodao." Liu Yifei shook her head.
"Baodao movie?" Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did your mother pick up Baodao movie for you?"
"I don't know either. Is there any problem?" Liu Yifei shook her head again.
Chu Xuan frowned and said: "Baodao's movie cannot be released in the mainland. Ninety-nine percent of the fans accumulated by your participation in "The Golden Family" are here in the mainland. So you went to participate in Baodao's movie,
In the end, your fans will not be able to see your work. In short, you worked very hard for several months to make two movies, which did not add any increase to your popularity. Your popularity also remained unchanged.
It’s not the same as taking a picture.”
"Ah?" Liu Yifei looked stunned, "Then why did my mother answer the call?"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Then you have to ask your mother. If you ask me, how do I know?"
Just at this moment, the cell phone rang.
Liu Yifei took out her cell phone, looked at it, said "my mother" to Chu Xuan, and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Mom."
"I'm watching a movie with Brother Xuan."
"Oh, let me ask him."
Liu Yifei hung up the phone and said: "My mother asked you if you want to go home to have lunch together. If you want to go, you can take me with you. If not, she will pick me up."
Before Chu Xuan could speak, Liu Yifei put her hands around Chu Xuan's neck, wrinkled her nose and smiled sweetly: "Brother Xuan, can you help me convince my mother not to let her take these two dramas?"
Chu Xuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "If I am your mother's son-in-law and your mother is my mother-in-law, and there is such a relationship, then I am not afraid of her. But our current situation is different from the past.
When I face her now, I feel somewhat inexplicable fear. I lost half the battle from the beginning, which is really hard to bear."
Liu Yifei laughed immediately and threw herself into Chu Xuan's arms, laughing non-stop.
Laughing without making a sound, it passed for a while.
Liu Yifei raised her head, frowned and said: "If you don't take care of your mother-in-law, then I will have to fall in love with someone else, and I will have to talk to two people. You can figure it out yourself."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan suddenly laughed, looking like he couldn't laugh or cry.
Liu Yifei just looked at him with a smile. She had a feeling that Chu Xuan must have a way to convince her mother.
Just like in the past in school or on the set, there seemed to be nothing that Chu Xuan couldn't handle, only things that Chu Xuan didn't want to do.
Regarding this, Liu Yifei was very sure that Chu Xuan would definitely have a way.
Chu Xuan suppressed his smile, glanced at Liu Yifei, and said, "How tall are you now?"
Liu Yifei blinked. Chu Xuan's sudden and irrelevant question made her a little confused, but she still answered: "167."
Chu Xuan asked again: "Have you ever worn makeup that looked a little more mature before?"
Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly and said: "Not only before, I also wore makeup when I was shooting for a magazine in Shenghai. They also said that I don't look like a 16-year-old, but more like a professional female elite in her early 20s."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan nodded, then fell into memory and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Liu Yifei's face carefully, and suddenly muttered: "In "New Police Story"..."
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Let's go, I have an idea."
"Really?" Liu Yifei was very excited.
"You'll know when the time comes." Chu Xuan stood up and put on his mask.
The same goes for Liu Yifei. She put on a mask and said: "Brother Xuan, I allow you to drink today. It's up to you to take care of my mother."
Chu Xuan shook his head and smiled: "I was the last person who got drunk after drinking with your mother. Can you give me some good ideas?"
Liu Yifei smiled, put on the mask, took Chu Xuan's hand and slipped out of the screening room. She picked up the phone with her other hand and dialed her mother.
