Chapter 34 "Suzhou River"

"How much did you spend advertising this film?"

Halfway through the movie, Zhou Xun gradually pulled away from the tense movie rhythm. She turned her head to look at Cao Qing, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"You smoke less recently and drink more things to clear your throat."

"Originally when you went to Sanlitun to sing at night, your voice was exhausted, and you smoked and drank alcohol. If this continues, I don't think your voice will be able to listen in a few years."

"Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to act in a movie and become an actress? This voice would be a hindrance."

He didn't answer Zhou Xun's question. After hearing Zhou Xun's voice getting hoarse, Cao Qing frowned and looked at Zhou Xun with a low tone.

"My voice has been like this since I was a child. I have such a naturally hoarse voice. Smoking and drinking can't reduce it much."

Zhou Xun tilted his head, with a nonchalant expression.

Cao Qing frowned even more, staring at Zhou Xun oppressively.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being watched by Cao Qing, Zhou Xun turned his head directly, staring at him with a pair of expressionless eyes.

"Okay, I don't care, I can't control it anyway."

"The advertising fee is not much. Don't look at the many advertisements in this movie. In fact, the unit price is very low. The total price is just over 12, which is less than a fraction of the price of the movie."

After staring at each other for a minute or two, they finally couldn't hold on any longer. Cao Qing took the lead and turned his head to continue watching the movie, speaking lightly.

"Oh, that's okay too."

"After I watch this movie, you should also be considered a cutting-edge director, and your movie advertising expenses will be higher by then."

"By the way, I want to tell you something. I won't be participating in your new movie. Lou Ye is looking for me."

Cao Qing, who was pretending to be watching a movie, raised his eyebrows suddenly after hearing Zhou Xun's words.

"Lou Ye? This guy has some eyesight."

"Your acting skills are indeed good."

After a pause, Cao Qing added another sentence.

"The price is also cheap."

Cao Qingbu's words directly made Zhou Xun, who was listening happily, frown greatly. She glared at Cao Qing with her eyes and gritted her teeth.

"Shut up if you can't speak, what do you mean by cheap price? Talk nonsense to me again, and I'll slap you to death!"

Curling his lips, Cao Qing said noncommittally:

"That's right, I'm right."

"Who doesn't know about Lou Ye? He likes to find actors with good acting skills and cheap prices. This old boy is very shrewd."

"Ah…"

Zhou Xun smiled and said nothing, with a cold expression on his face, and an extremely piercing sarcasm in his tone.

Cao Qing's anger was instantly provoked.

Zhou Xun always understood Cao Qing so well.

Having lived together for a long time, she even knew how to make him jealous, annoyed, and even go crazy with just one look.

"I think director Lou Ye is quite capable, and he is only 33 years old. What is an old boy?"

"Compared to others, you look like a childish and ignorant kid who only knows how to get angry all day long."

Zhou Xun glanced at Cao Qing calmly, and continued to provoke in a flat tone.

Calmly, and barely restraining the anger in his heart, Cao Qing snorted and continued to look at the big screen, not wanting to speak.

"Okay, I'm not mad at you."

"What I told you is true, I have already taken over the filming of "Suzhou River" directed by Lou Ye."

"It's a good movie, I've seen the script and it's beautifully written."

"I even have an intuition that the heroine in this play is tailor-made for me, passionate, unrestrained, and desperate for love."

"I like this movie. I like the passion of the heroine who is desperate for love. If I lose her, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Turning his head to look at Cao Qing seriously, Zhou Xun said word by word.

The movie was still going on on the screen, but Cao Qing and Zhou Xun were in no mood to watch it anymore.

Staring seriously at Zhou Xun's eyebrows in front of him, Cao Qing suddenly nodded and said:

"Go ahead, I'm also sure it's going to be a good movie."

"Passionate, unrestrained, desperate for love, sounds exactly like you."

"Come on! I believe that one day you will meet such a love worth working for."

Cao Qing felt a little depressed, and his tone was very sour.

After finishing speaking, Cao Qing turned his head to watch the movie, trying to change the subject.

"Tell me about my film. How do you feel about it? Compared with the previous films directed by Lou Ye?"

With a serious tone, Cao Qing turned his head and asked Zhou Xun.

Looking around, Zhou Xun's heart was full of gloom, and she suddenly wanted to ask Cao Qing seriously, what does it mean that she will meet such a love in the future?
So what are you and him now?
py?

Friends and confidants who can swap bodies with each other?
Temporary couple?

Still nothing!

With emotions rolling in his heart, Zhou Xun didn't want to answer Cao Qing at all.

In the dark movie theater, she silently closed her eyes.

The movie was still going on, Zhou Xun was as silent as a dead man, and Cao Qing, who knew that he had just said the wrong thing, looked embarrassed for a while and did not speak.

Soon, more than half of the movie played on the screen.

At this time, Zhou Xun, who had calmed down for a few minutes and barely calmed down his emotions, finally spoke.

"It should be okay. Cao Qing, your movie has a fast pace. Not only did you have multiple clues interspersed in the first 8 minutes, but the clues didn't connect together until the moment the car crashed at the end."

"As long as the audience can watch the first part of the play, they will be able to watch the whole thing."

"Congratulations, Cao Qing, there is a high probability that your movie will be a success. By then, you will no longer be that poor director who can only rent a small yard, and Brother Jun and Brother Honglei will also be able to follow you A little famous."

"Everything is fine, come on."

The tone is alienated to the point of indifference, and the words are quite official without much emotion. This is Zhou Xun's reply to Cao Qing's previous words.

"how about you?"

"You said everyone, but you didn't talk about yourself, so what will happen to you in the future?"

"I?"

"I'll be fine. My next play will be the leading actress in Suzhou Creek. Everyone praises me for my acting talent. I believe it won't be long before I become a high-ranking actress."

"At that time, each of us will have our own brilliance, isn't this what you want, Director Cao?"

There is a bit of anger and heartbreak in the words, and Zhou Xun's words have a strong sense of irony.

"Hey…"

Cao Qing sighed, but didn't speak, and he didn't know how to answer.

Say you have no such hope?
So fake.

Obviously he is not such a sincere person, and he obviously wants more women with all his heart.

Not only is it impossible for him to be desperate for love, he can't even love only one person. From the time he had a relationship with Zhou Xun until now, even after being together for such a long time, he never even considered her as his girlfriend in his heart .

Looking at the movie that was still going on on the screen, Cao Qing wanted to explain several times but didn't know how to speak.

Suddenly, he felt that the movie in front of him was a bit boring.
