Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 776 A Brand New State

Paris France.

At the Chinese Consulate in France, An Kang sat in his office and read text messages on his phone: [Director An is amazing! ], [Director An is amazing! ]

The two identical text messages from his daughter and son-in-law brought a smile of both amusement and relief to his face.

The fact that the couple were able to post such content at the same time shows that after communicating with each other, they realized that he was the double-director behind the scenes.

This was the first time in her life that his daughter came to him for advice on the troubles between her and her husband, and it was also the first time in his life that he helped his daughter solve such family issues.

He was very happy that his daughter trusted him and could share and communicate with him the problems she encountered in life, allowing him to experience being a father on a new level. He was even happier that even though they were thousands of miles apart, he could still feel his presence as a father and father-in-law in the married life of his daughter and son-in-law.

This time the conflict between the daughter and the son-in-law was just a minor quarrel between the couple, which is normal, but if it is not handled properly and in time, it may lead to a big mistake.

Thinking back to the past, wasn’t that what happened to him and Liu Xiaoli?

Liu Xiaoli is a dancer in the opera house. Sometimes they rehearse until late at night. He said he had to take care of his family, and Liu Xiaoli said, "Okay, okay."

He is a university professor and sometimes he prepares lessons at school very late. Liu Xiaoli says he doesn't miss home, and he always says "pay more attention next time".

But this ridiculous promise was often perfunctory, and neither he nor Liu Xiaoli took it seriously. Then, these small things gradually accumulated and led to an inexplicable rift between the couple.

This conflict between the daughter and son-in-law is exactly the same as their past experience.

The son-in-law had promised his daughter to finish work early, but he chose to work overtime for the sake of the overall situation.

However, out of concern for her son-in-law, the daughter became angry when she saw him break his promise.

This is just like what happened between him and Liu Xiaoli back then. Both sides have reasons for this kind of conflict, and both sides' reasons are valid. Such situations are often the most troublesome.

In the past, he and Liu Xiaoli were in the situation and found it difficult to respond correctly. Now, he is outside the situation and can see and hear similar conflicts between his daughter and son-in-law from an objective perspective, thus giving his daughter and son-in-law the correct solution, which is nothing more than more understanding and tolerance for each other.

Instead of hurting feelings due to conflicts, conflicts help children grow. This is what parents hope to see.

"Very good." Ankang looked at the text message of just a few words again and again. It can be seen from the text message that his daughter and son-in-law have solved the problem perfectly. They also replied to him in a way that they were joking with him. This also revealed that the relationship between his daughter and son-in-law seemed to have warmed up because of this conflict, which made him feel very warm.

At the same time, this also shows that his daughter followed his advice and his son-in-law also gained some insights from his teachings, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Ankang's smile deepened. He picked up his phone and somehow turned to Liu Xiaoli's number. He knew very well that his daughter had told him about this incident, so she must not have told Liu Xiaoli, otherwise he would have been out of trouble. So he sent a text message to Liu Xiaoli to show off.

……

In Shenzhen, the sun was shining brightly in the morning, but Liu Xiaoli was not in a good mood.

[My daughter and son-in-law are having a conflict, and there is almost a relationship crisis. Aren’t you in the same crew with them? You really don’t care about them at all.]

Liu Xiaoli and Ankang hadn't contacted each other via mobile phone for many years. She was confused when she saw this strange text message.

Xiaoxuan and Xixi are having a conflict?
Almost had a relationship crisis?

When did this happen?
Liu Xiaoli was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. Then she had another soul-searching question.

Why would he know that?

Why don’t I know?

Logically speaking, after Xiaoxuan and Xixi got married and formed a formal family, the conflicts between them were their own business and had nothing to do with her as a mother and mother-in-law. If she continued to interfere in their lives in all aspects as before, they might be disgusted. This was her own awareness after the couple got married. She would only nag them unless she saw it with her own eyes or the couple took the initiative to ask her for advice.

The biggest problem with this text message lies here. Why does Ankang know about the couple's affairs while she doesn't?
There was only one reason, the couple told Ankang things that she didn't know instead of telling her!
"What's going on with these two guys? I'm right next to you but you don't tell me and go and tell him. Is there something wrong with you?" Liu Xiaoli was very angry. This text message from Ankang made her jealous.

She had just gotten up and was about to continue looking for a wedding house for her daughter and son-in-law in today's beautiful weather, but her good mood was completely ruined by this text message.

Liu Xiaoli opened the door and wanted to go find the couple to ask about the situation. If the conflict had not been resolved yet, she would help resolve it. If the conflict had already been resolved, she would go and scold them.

Just then, the door of the room next door opened, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked out, looking like they were rushing to the crew to start work.

"Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning, Mom."

Liu Xiaoli did not reply to the couple's greeting. She looked at the couple for a few times. They were holding hands as intimate as ever. It seemed that the so-called conflict in Ankang's text message had been completely resolved, otherwise it would not be like this.

But she still asked: "Did you two have a conflict?"

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, wondering how their mother knew.

"Nothing, it's solved."

Although she didn't know how her mother knew it, Liu Yifei didn't want to make her mother worry. The so-called conflict was also perfectly resolved by her and Chu Xuan, so she said it with ease.

"What contradiction? Why don't you tell me?" Liu Xiaoli asked again.

"Oh, it's just a small matter, what's there to say?" Liu Yifei frowned.

"Then why tell him?" Liu Xiaoli asked unhappily.

He? ... Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other. The couple was puzzled at first. Who was this "he"?

The next moment, I immediately realized that the only person who could make my mother treat me so badly was obviously my father.

They suddenly realized and said that only they and their dad knew about this, but how did their mom know about it? It turned out that their dad told their mom about it.

But why did Dad tell Mom about this? Aren't these two people never in contact with each other? They were at odds with each other over their wedding during the Chinese New Year. This doesn't make sense.

"Look for yourselves, how embarrassed you make me." Liu Xiaoli was speechless and took out her mobile phone text messages to show the couple.

Text message? ... Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at it curiously. They knew why their mother was so upset.

Chu Xuan was smiling with one hand on the wall and the other on his waist, and was amused by his father's text message.

Liu Yifei put her arm around Chu Xuan's shoulders and leaned against his, looking extremely happy.

She didn't want to make her mother worry because her mother was right next to her. She would be too embarrassed to complain to her mother when there was a small conflict, so she told her father. It was only because her father was far away in France that it was not awkward to communicate over the phone.

But she never expected that her father would show off this to her mother like a little child. No wonder her mother was so unhappy. That's why.

"That's so funny." Chu Xuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Almost had a relationship crisis?

Mom doesn't care about them?
He really didn't expect that his father exaggerated the facts just to provoke his mother.

Is this the happiness of a divorced middle-aged man? In order to find a sense of accomplishment in his children and family, he would piss off his partner to death.

It's really funny.

Liu Xiaoli was really angry. She could even imagine Ankang's complacent mentality.

Look, my daughter and son-in-law don't come to you when they have something to ask...

Look, you are right next to your daughter and son-in-law, and you don’t care when they have a conflict…

Look, I helped my daughter and son-in-law resolve the conflict, and you, as a mother, are still by their side. You can't do it, tsk tsk tsk...

When she thought of all this, she was really angry and shook her head, saying, "I was in a good mood to show you the wedding house, but thanks to you, my good mood is gone. Since you trust him so much, then go and get the wedding house from him."

Seeing her mother like this, Liu Yifei hurriedly comforted her, put her arm around her shoulders, stroked her arm, and walked towards the elevator together.

"My dear mother, why are you so jealous?"

"Of course I'm jealous. I was right beside you and you didn't come. Instead, you went to find him. I've raised you for so many years in vain."

Chu Xuan followed behind, feeling it was a lot of fun.

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry. Besides, it's really a trivial matter. And it was very late yesterday, so you must have been asleep. I went to find Dad because I felt a little aggrieved."

"Really... he's showing off to me. He's 50 years old. He's simply mentally retarded!"

Chu Xuan chuckled, and Liu Yifei, who turned her head to look at him, laughed again. It was rare to see their mother looking a little frustrated like this, and it really amused them.

"I won't ask about the conflict. You should learn to solve problems on your own in the future. Be more understanding and tolerant of each other. If you can't communicate, come to me. If you don't want to come to me, you can go to your grandmother or aunt. Don't go to him. Do you hear me?"

Liu Yifei turned her head again and looked at Chu Xuan happily. After her father's magical operation this time, the evaluation of her father, which was originally negative in her mother's heart, now seemed to be negative infinity.

"Dad, why are you doing this?" Liu Yifei sighed in her heart. She and Chu Xuan had originally hoped that mom and dad could communicate normally, but now it seems that hope lies in the fields, and the fields have been burned by a fire, and there is no hope at all.

"You guys go ahead. Zeng Ni and I are going to have breakfast before going to look at houses." When Liu Xiaoli reached the elevator door, she turned back. After venting her anger in front of her daughter and son-in-law, she felt a little better.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked into the elevator and smiled at each other. This interesting family event just happened suddenly, but it would be something they would reminisce about for many years.

"If we encounter conflicts again in the future, let's solve them ourselves." Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand.

"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded: "If it's really the kind that can't be solved, both mom and dad should be informed at the same time. Although mom is by our side and it's convenient to ask her to solve the problem, the relationship with dad and dad must still be maintained."

"It's hard to disagree." Chu Xuan agreed.

Seeing that Chu Xuan and she had reached a consensus, Liu Yifei happily kissed Chu Xuan on the face.

We took the elevator to the lower parking lot, where some crew members were getting in their cars and getting ready to set off.

Gulina saw the couple appear and looked at them a few more times.

"Thank you. Your sister and I are fine now." Chu Xuan said to Gulina with a smile.

Gulina curved her eyebrows and got into the car happily.

"She sent me a text message last night, saying that you, her sister, were angry, and asked me to go back home after work to comfort you." Chu Xuan walked into the nanny car.

Liu Yifei got into the car and understood the meaning of Chu Xuan's greeting to Gulina. She glanced at the business car where Gulina was with gentle eyes, and she also had a better impression of Gulina.

……

Yesterday the crew was split into two, and the office building and hotel scenes were filmed simultaneously. Today the crew was reunited into one, and began to focus on filming the office building scenes more efficiently.

After last night's conflicts and early morning reconciliations, if Chu Xuan was full of ambition when he first joined the crew, today he was in a more relaxed state of mind. He no longer came to work one after another. He rested when he needed to rest and relaxed when he needed to relax. He was completely different from the tense director he was in the past few days.

The crew members felt something but didn't think much of it. After all, Chu Xuan was a new director and it was the first time for those present to join Chu Xuan's crew. It was impossible to determine the specific state of Chu Xuan as a director in just a few days. Compared with the tense atmosphere of the crew in the past few days, today's atmosphere was slightly relaxed, which could be regarded as Chu Xuan's casual performance.

Only Liu Yifei knew that her husband was beginning to change.

"Save one, and do it again!"

On the set, in the office scene, Qin Hao and Zhang Songwen’s rivalry.

After the two actors took a break to regain their form, they started filming again.

Zhang Songwen sat in an office chair with his hands crossed on his stomach, looking very gentle as the capitalist Ren Brun.

Qin Hao sat opposite him, leaning back in his chair with his hands on the armrests on both sides. He looked very proper, but his eyes when he looked at Zhang Songwen were sharp.

Two moving shots, one for Zhang Songwen and the other for Qin Hao.

Two fixed lenses, one taking a panoramic shot from the side of the desk, and the other taking a panoramic shot from behind Qin Hao.

"Captain Yang, when I first entered the entertainment industry, do you know what my ideal was?" Zhang Songwen said.

Zhang Songwen and Qin Hao looked at each other, confronting the fierceness with gentleness, and said: "I want to train good actors, I want to produce good works, so that the unfair performance environment can become fair and just in my hands, and the market direction that follows the trend everywhere can become flourishing in my hands."

Zhang Songwen stood up, and in full view in the camera he walked to a glass cabinet.

Zhang Songwen opened the cabinet and took out a couplet. The camera followed his upper body and moved to the table.

Zhang Songwen showed the couplet to Qin Hao, and the camera sank down to give a close-up - [Weed out the weeds and withered flowers amid the starry sky, and get rid of the rotten and old writings amid the contention of a hundred schools of thought. ]

"I wrote this for myself." The camera canceled the close-up of the couplet and slowly lifted up to give a close-up of Zhang Songwen's face: "How about it, Captain Yang, you still have some literary skills, right?"

Zhang Songwen's tone was both proud and self-deprecating, both boastful and ashamed.

The complex emotions created by his dialogue skills combined with his eyes and his posture made Chu Xuan in front of the monitor praise: "It's amazing."

Liu Yifei watched with a learning and appreciative look, and nodded in agreement with Chu Xuan's praise of Zhang Songwen.

"Don't you think it's ironic?" In the No. 2 moving shot, Qin Hao was in a full-body frontal shot, and he looked up at Zhang Songwen.

"Irony?" Zhang Songwen turned around, and the camera showed his upper body in the background until he turned around and sat back in the chair, revealing his full body.

"It's really ironic." Zhang Songwen asked himself and answered himself, crossing his legs and stretching his legs with his hands folded.

When Chu Xuan saw that the action was in place, he turned his gaze to the fixed camera on the side. The fixed camera could not see Zhang Songwen's lower body and movements, and only the picture of the two people in the same frame could be viewed from a more comprehensive perspective.

Zhang Songwen looked at Qin Hao opposite him and said, "But I have no choice. In all walks of life, if you want to climb up, you have to integrate into the circle of the upper class. The circle of the upper class has its own rules of play. If you don't follow these rules of play, they won't play with you. If they don't play with you, you won't have any connections or interest relationships. Without connections and interest relationships, you can't accomplish anything."

"The same is true for the entertainment industry. There are so many messy rules. If you don't follow these rules, it's really hard to develop. Being an ordinary person wouldn't have so many troubles, but I don't want to be an ordinary person."

Chu Xuan looked at the second mobile camera. Qin Hao in the camera said calmly, "Is this the reason why you do evil things?"

Chu Xuan looked at the second fixed camera position and looked at Zhang Songwen's upper body from an oblique angle: "Doing evil? Captain Yang, this word is not precise. What evil did I do for what?"

"You know clearly about the girls you have defiled," Qin Hao said.

"Defame?" Zhang Songwen laughed and took a sip of tea from the cup: "Captain Yang, if it weren't for our good relationship, I would sue you for slander."

"Who is close to you?" Qin Hao slapped the table and stood up, with his hands on the table and his head slightly lowered, looking at Zhang Songwen with eagle eyes: "No matter whether it is defilement, power-for-money transactions, or coercion and inducement, I will find evidence."

Zhang Songwen was no longer gentle, but looked up with an indifferent expression and stared at the condescending Qin Hao: "Captain Yang, why don't you understand what I just said? Are some of the things you don't like the fault of others?"

Zhang Songwen stood up suddenly, pointed out the French window, and said solemnly: "It's caused by this social class! It's caused by the environment of this circle! Even if I wasn't there, there would be a lot of people coming in from outside, and all the things you don't like would happen to them. Can you stop them, ah!"

Zhang Songwen lost his composure for a moment, but regained his composure in an instant, adjusting his suit collar with both hands: "Captain Yang, if you really want to change some bad things, I have a suggestion for you. Uproot this industry and make new rules."

At this moment, Zhang Songwen is in a high position and Qin Hao is in a low position.

Qin Hao put away his hands, stood up straight, and faced Zhang Songwen at camera level. He said, "I don't have that much ability."

Qin Hao's tone was calm and sounded a little discouraged, but the next moment he was dignified and said loudly: "But in my case! Law will never give in to lawlessness! Morality will never bow to immorality!"

Zhang Songwen narrowed his eyes slightly and met Qin Hao's majestic gaze.

Qin Hao took the initiative to withdraw his momentum and said calmly: "If you do too much evil, you will be killed. Ren Brun, you wait."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Chu Xuan looked at the moving camera No. 1 and watched Qin Hao's righteous back walking out from Zhang Songwen's perspective.

Qin Hao opened the door and then closed it with a bang.

Chu Xuan picked up the intercom: "Stop! That's all, we're done for today!"

At eight o'clock in the evening, today's filming came to an end, one hour earlier than the scheduled nine o'clock in the evening.

"Are we done with work? Director Chu isn't going to work overtime? It's still early, only eight o'clock." Liu Yifei blinked.

"You're just teasing me, you don't have good intentions." Chu Xuan smiled at her, said hello to the teachers, and led her out of the crew: "Go back and rest quickly, didn't you say you had a stomachache? I'll give you a massage, so you can feel better and sleep better."

The period that was promised at night came as expected. My wife has been looking a little weak since the afternoon. I asked her to go back and rest but she refused. She insisted on staying with me to finish the filming. She is quite stubborn.

"Okay." Liu Yifei was very happy. Chu Xuan recalled his promise of combining work and rest made the day before yesterday and fulfilled the concept of putting life and family first that they had reached a consensus on as husband and wife. Career was just a natural product and it would be enough to promote it step by step.

Seeing Chu Xuan in a brand new state today, Liu Yifei's joy and sweetness have never diminished from day to night. This is the life model she hoped for after getting married, which combines life with career and is as casual as possible. Fortunately, Chu Xuan can recognize it and put it into practice and go with her.
