Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 421 Bedtime Stories
A driver came to pick them up, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei got into the commercial vehicle and headed east to Linbieyuan.

They could have gone back with Sister Hua by the way, but Sister Hua still had to go to the company, so they went ahead.

"Master, stop here, let's go in."

The commercial vehicle drove to the gate of Donglin Bieyuan, but Concubine Liu Yi stopped it.

She just drank some wine at the hotel, and she wanted to take a walk and enjoy some fresh air.

Chu Xuan also had this intention, so he opened the door with her and prepared to get off the car.

"Mr. Chu, I'll drive the car back to the film company, and then drive your Daben home. I'll pick you up in your Daben tomorrow afternoon. Then you can drive Daben back." The driver said.

Because of having dinner and drinking, Chu Xuan didn't drive to the hotel in the afternoon, and his car was still parked in the company parking lot.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Chu Xuan responded, and after getting out of the car, he closed the door with a "bang".

The driver turned the car back to the company, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked into the community hand in hand after being let by the guard.

Late at night, the wind is howling.

The community was silent, and most of the nearby villas were in darkness, only the flickering lights and the rustling sound of the TV in sporadic villas.

Under the dim street lights, accompanied by the occasional sound of waves from the artificial lake, two people walking close together cast long shadows on the ground.

"You're a little out of sorts today."

"why?"

"You talk too much today."

"That's it?"

Chu Xuan was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Concubine Liu Yi bit her lip and nodded with a smile. She let go of her biting lip: "I don't know you yet? About your ambitions and dreams, you never tell outsiders easily, even if you do, you will hold back. "

"Your character is that you don't say much when you are not sure, and like today, the long and predictive speech is something you have never shown outside before."

Chu Xuan glanced at her and said, "You go to the police test and enter the investigation department."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her head for joy, patted Chu Xuan, and said, "Be honest, what's on your mind?"

Chu Xuan dragged Concubine Liu Yi to walk slowly, the cold wind hit his face, he said: "The TV circle is different from the movie circle."

"Movies require a large investment, and when there is a market, the money will come in quickly, so many big capitals play movies with a gambling mentality."

"However, there are only a few good schedules in a year, and there is only one king in each schedule, and the rest of the movies in the same schedule are basically stepping stones."

"So, the more popular a movie is, the more actors who can drive a movie's box office, the more they will be hated by investors who don't participate."

Chu Xuan let go of Concubine Liu Yi's hand, raised it to wrap her shoulders, and said: "So, once we officially set foot in the film industry on behalf of the bright era, and step on countless films to make one of our films popular, like it The more audience we have, the more people will hate us."

Concubine Liu Yi was silent. Like Chu Xuan, she could always think in such a long-term way, but what Chu Xuan said made her feel that the road they had to go was very difficult.

"What does this have to do with your performance today?" She leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder and asked, walking slowly with Chu Xuan under the streetlight.

Chu Xuan said slowly: "Huaying Group is a shareholder of Brilliant Times, and has nothing to do with Third Brother. In Brilliant Times, Third Brother is an outsider."

"Due to the realization of the development concept, the third brother supports the brilliant era."

"But this kind of support is overall and in a general direction."

"And this support is for the company, not for us personally."

"If we have problems due to personal and private affairs, for example, we are hated by the capital and the capital uses tricks to mess with us and cause public opinion to blackmail us. From the overall perspective, the third brother probably won't help."

"And we have to solve the problem of capital competition by ourselves, without foreign aid, it will be very troublesome."

Concubine Liu Yi looked at the empty road ahead, thought for a while and said, "Then you just said that to third brother, about your ambition, and he will help?"

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "I created Weiyu, and I want to industrialize film and television, so my third brother is very interested in me."

"I said so much to him today, and I looked good, which deepened his interest in me."

"With more and more interest in the situation, the more we can do something, the more he will appreciate us and support us, and maybe he will become a friend who forgets the year."

"The reason why I did this is to let the third brother not only stand behind the company to support the company, but also let him stand behind us to protect us sincerely."

"In this way, we will have less and less trouble in the film industry in the future."

Concubine Liu Yi showed a dazed expression, shook the hand she held with Chu Xuan, wrinkled her nose and said, "Your considerations are getting more and more complicated."

Chu Xuan stopped, looked at her softly, reached out and pinched her nose, just like Li Xiaoyao pinched Zhao Linger's nose, he said: "Didn't I say it before, you are in charge of innocence, and I am in charge of protecting your innocence." .”

Concubine Liu Yi stared at Chu Xuan in a daze, Chu Xuan's words made her feel sore, she couldn't help but tiptoed and kissed Chu Xuan's lips, then took Chu Xuan's hand and shook it: "No, I want to protect you too Protect my innocence."

The tongue twister made Chu Xuan laugh: "Then I will protect you and I will protect your innocence."

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help laughing as she talked more and more complicated: "Russian dolls!"

She stroked her hair blown away by the wind, and then changed the topic: "The industrialization of film and television is already very stressful, but now you have added a countermeasure against cultural invasion."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her lips, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It's so passionate."

Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, he thought Concubine Liu Yi was going to say that the pressure was even greater, but he didn't expect to feel even more passionate.

"What do you want to do? Make a sci-fi movie after another to beat foreign blockbusters?" Concubine Liu Yi asked cutely, tilting her head.

Chu Xuan shook his head, and said: "Special effects depend on computers, and the core components of computers and graphics software are controlled by Western companies. It is impossible for them to share the latest and top-notch components and technologies, so in terms of special effects, visual effects , we can’t surpass them, that’s a fact.”

Concubine Liu Yi nodded. This is indeed a fact. After her understanding as a producer, many things in special effects are much more advanced in foreign countries than in China.

"Special effects blockbusters are new in China, just like the "Hope" micro-movie, most of the audience only pay attention to special effects, how many of us will watch carefully the acting skills of the two of us?"

Concubine Liu Yi pursed her lips. When she talked about this incident, she also felt lost for a moment. When "Hope" was publicized, netizens' comments were almost only for the special effects scenes. The performance that she and Chu Xuan put a lot of effort into Not many people discussed it.

"Based on this situation, in the early and mid-term period when blockbuster special effects movies are pouring into the Chinese market, the better the special effects of a movie, the more popular it is with audiences."

"And our special effects technology is not as good as that of foreign countries. Naturally, it is impossible to go head-to-head with foreign blockbusters and fight on the same schedule. It seems very passionate, but this is an irrational behavior, and the company's shareholders will not agree to it. Do something stupid like that."

"Based on this, my way to fight against cultural invasion is, with the help of my third brother, our sci-fi movies will have a schedule difference with foreign sci-fi movies."

"Foreign blockbusters are released in the Lunar New Year file, we will release it in the National Day file, foreign blockbusters will be released in the Spring Festival file, we will release it in the Lunar New Year file."

"Let the special effects blockbuster appear every year, and the first special effects blockbuster watched by the audience will always be our movie."

As Chu Xuan was walking, because of the cold wind, he couldn't help holding hands tightly with Concubine Liu Yi, and said, "This is also a theory borrowed from subconscious propaganda methods, such as BMW's advertisements and Mercedes-Benz's advertisements one in front of the other. Afterwards, if there is not much difference in the quality of the two advertisements, people will subconsciously have a deeper impression of the advertisement they saw at first sight.”

"Similarly, if our film is not far behind the quality of the film released after us, the audience will be more impressed with our film."

"Over time, in ten or eight years, when the audience is tired of the word 'special effects' and has always had a correct understanding and expectation of our country's science fiction, then our science fiction movies with stories as the core , may be able to defeat Western films with special effects as the core head-on.”

"At that moment, maybe it was the time when our country's science fiction movies rose completely."

Concubine Liu Yi blinked at Chu Xuan: "Whether what you said is right or not, it sounds logical and makes sense. I just want to ask, why are you so smart?"

When he came to the gate of the villa, Chu Xuan opened the door, pretending to think about it and said, "I used to be stupid, but someone improved my IQ."

"Who is it?" Concubine Liu Yi was in high spirits, and was led into the villa by Chu Xuan.

"I don't know who she is." Chu Xuan said deliberately, and looked at Concubine Liu Yi with a playful look: "But I know, she is the wife of a man named Chu Xuan."

Concubine Liu Yi was startled, and arrogantly twisted Chu Xuan's waist, and said, "Who is your wife? Did you propose marriage? Did you prove it?"

Chu Xuan smiled and said: "Did I say it was you?"

Concubine Liu Yi's face froze, she felt her hand loosen, and a figure quickly passed by before her eyes. She was angry and funny, and stretched out her hand and pointed: "Chu Xuan! Stop! I'm going to kill you!"

She ran after her, with the smile on her face undiminished, and chased her all the way to the small villa.

Liu Xiaoli was sitting on the sofa watching TV, watching the two children chasing each other around the sofa with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing?" she asked amusedly.

Concubine Liu Yi stopped chasing and supported the sofa behind the sofa with one hand on her waist. Panting, she accused in a delicate tone: "Mom, he bullied me."

Chu Xuan stood in front of Liu Xiaoli, with his hands on his hips, panting likewise: "Auntie, do you believe that I will bully her?"

Liu Xiaoli turned her head to look at her daughter, and then looked at Chu Xuan. Although she didn't know what happened, she was willing to play with the two children. She shook her head: "I don't believe it."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan was full of smiles, and spread his hands at Concubine Liu Yi.

Concubine Liu Yi was stunned, she didn't expect her mother to say that, she said angrily, "Are you my mother or not! The most basic trust is gone! I want to run away from home!"

Seeing her angry appearance, Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli were overjoyed.

"Sleep!" Liu Xiaoli picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Seeing that the two children had returned safely, she was relieved.

"Let's go." Chu Xuan said to Concubine Liu Yi, wanting to go back to the big villa to rest.

Concubine Liu Yi was still not upset, she purposely looked at Chu Xuan with hatred, but said to her mother: "Mom, I will sleep with you today."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Liu Yi proudly raised her eyebrows at Chu Xuan, telling you to be angry with me!

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoli said in a disgusted tone: "Why are you sleeping with me, I'm not your boyfriend."

Chu Xuan let out a "puchi", bent over with his belly in his hands and laughed, the mother-in-law's wave was a divine assist.

Concubine Liu Yi's expression froze for a while, she looked at the back of her mother walking upstairs, with a joking look on her side face, and looked at Chu Xuan who was still smiling, she had nothing to love for a while.

Chu Xuan straightened up, walked up to Concubine Liu Yi, held her face and kissed her lips, and said, "I was wrong, let's go."

With a cold face, Concubine Liu Yi said in the manner of a little dragon girl: "Wash my feet."

"Okay." Chu Xuan responded immediately.

"Give me a massage." Concubine Liu Yi said.

"OK." Chu Xuan made an "OK" gesture.

Concubine Liu Yi seemed to be unable to satisfy the two demands. She blinked mischievously and thought of another idea: "Tell me a bedtime story."

Chu Xuan was stunned, unable to laugh or cry: "What the hell is a bedtime story? Can we have a good rest? It's twelve o'clock."

Liu Yi returned to the little dragon girl's posture again, and said coldly, "Do you agree or not?"

Chu Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Are you saying I did this on my own? Why should I recruit you?"

Concubine Liu Yi raised her brows and said, "You only know? Don't mess with me, the result is destined to be your loss."

The corner of Chu Xuan's mouth raised, and he looked at Concubine Liu Yi.

Looking at each other for a few seconds, both of them couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, Chu Xuan took Concubine Liu Yi back to the bedroom of the big villa.

According to Concubine Liu Yi's instructions, Chu Xuan helped her wash her feet and gave her a massage.

After lying down on the bed and turning off the lights, Concubine Liu Yi did not forget the last request: "Hurry up and tell a story."

Concubine Liu Yi was pillowed in Chu Xuan's arms, looking at Chu Xuan with great interest. In the dark bedroom, her eyes were flickering.

Chu Xuan was helpless, in order to coax her well, he could only rack his brains to think of the so-called story.

"There is a very beautiful girl who lives with her big sister."

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, girl and big sister?What kind of story is this?
She asked Chu Xuan to tell bedtime stories on a whim, and Chu Xuan had never told any bedtime stories, no matter what kind of story Chu Xuan told, she would be very interested.

She huddled under the quilt, leaned against Chu Xuan's arms, and listened peacefully.

"Big sister doesn't want this girl to be disturbed by the world and be trapped by sophistication, so she is well protected by her big sister and has always been pure and innocent."

"But when a girl grows up, when she faces some things independently, she really feels the difficulty of walking in society."

"She will always be made things difficult when she is looking for a job. Some jobs that look good also value her beauty, but she refuses because she doesn't like it."

"Big sister's education has played a role. She understands the difficulties of society and the ways of the world, but she has always shown her innocence and innocence to the outside world. She only hopes to live the purest life and live according to her own ideas. .”

"However, ideals and reality are always in conflict. What she likes is not given to her by others, and she never does what she doesn't like."

"Gradually, she lost her job. Strictly speaking, she lost the job she liked, because the job she liked would never be her turn."

"It's so miserable." Concubine Liu Yi muttered, arching in Chu Xuan's arms, and found a more comfortable place to pillow.

"In this way, over the past few years, she has always had a good relationship with her elder sister. Through hard work and persistence, she bought a house, a car, a holiday villa, etc."

"She does the job she likes, and plays around when she doesn't like the job."

"Although her peers gave her countless strange eyes, she is not afraid and ignores it, just because she follows her inner thoughts: whatever I do, as long as I like it."

"Such a personality? I like it." Concubine Liu Yi smiled slightly.

"The conflict between ideal and reality is not resolved, and her previous experience has brought her darkness. Under such circumstances, she is full of vigilance and guard against society, and she does not color people in the industry, and she is a maverick. When she was in her 30s, she still lived with her elder sister and lived a loving life between the two of them."

"But even so, she also lived out her own life, and lived out her own splendor."

"And then?" Concubine Liu Yi asked.

Chu Xuan looked at her in the dark and said: "A media interviewed her and asked her what motivated her to persevere these years. She said: Women are independent and the world is wide."

Concubine Liu Yi stared, then returned to normal and lay on Chu Xuan's body.

This sentence is her motto, and it actually appeared in Chu Xuan's story.

Girls and big sisters?

Me and mom?

Concubine Liu Yi stretched out her hand to caress Chu Xuan's face, and said with a smile: "What you said...is it a guess about my future without you? I remember that you also guessed about such a situation before."

Chu Xuan didn't answer, and said with a smile: "One day, time leapt, this girl and her eldest sister went back to the year when she was 15 years old, and they met a boy."

"The boy asked what their names were, and the girl said: I am a witch, the older sister said: I am a witch, and the boy said: I am a knight."

Concubine Liu Yi burst into a smile, and said, "Then, the demon girl, the knight, and the female devil began their stories."

Chu Xuan hugged her into his arms, pressed her forehead and said, "Demon girl, the story is over, go to bed."

Concubine Liu Yi rubbed Chu Xuan's nose with her nose, closed her eyes and said, "You tell this story to indicate that we will face many difficulties in the future. I hope I will be independent and strong and not forget my original intention?"

"No." Chu Xuan closed his eyes and said slowly: "I want to tell you that with me here, I will not let you suffer any harm, and I will always be happy."

Concubine Liu Yi opened her eyes, looked at the face in front of her, and then slowly closed her eyes again: "Don't forget, I am going to be the queen, and I will protect you if I want to protect you."

Chu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Okay, you protect me."

Concubine Liu Yi smiled lightly, and put her arms around Chu Xuan's neck: "Go to sleep, I have to go to the company tomorrow afternoon to discuss the screenwriting matter, and tomorrow morning we will consolidate our ideas in advance."

"Well, sleep." Chu Xuan said.

After a few minutes, two even weak breathing sounds intertwined, falling into sleep.
