"Peng, I will entrust you with the promotion of our movie in China."

"Lucas, don't worry, I will definitely let "Time Traveler" win the box office champion of China's National Day this year."

"NONONO, Peng, your goal should not just be China's national day box office champion, but China's film history champion!"

"Champion of film history?"

Outside the airport, Peng Ming couldn't help but think of Shaoyang after hearing these words.

Do the math.

I have been abroad for five or six years.

In the past five or six years, I have been working hard for this sci-fi blockbuster that cost hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

Unexpectedly, after the film was made, Shaoyang retired from the circle.

But as time passed, Peng Ming no longer hated Shaoyang as before.

His current goal is to bring this movie, which he has spent a lot of effort on, and even mortgaged all his assets to invest in, to be released in China.

This is also his only chance to come back.

Peng Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a bit difficult to be the champion of film history. After all, there were no sci-fi movies in China before this."

"Peng, if I remember correctly, the highest-grossing movie in China is "Wolf Warrior 2", right?"

"Yes."

Lucas quickly laughed and said, "Even a movie like "Wolf Warrior 2" can earn more than 8 million (US dollars) in box office in China. Are you so unconfident about our movie?"

Peng Ming smiled and said, "I'm just worried that the audience in Huaxia won't understand. Lucas, it's almost time. I should board the plane. We can call anytime."

"Okay, have a good trip."

Peng Ming walked into the airport with his suitcase, got on the plane, looked at the blue sky outside, and remembered the scene of flying to Millikin five or six years ago, Peng Ming felt infinitely moved.

Mornings in the city are much quieter than in the countryside.

In particular, the location of the villa is not in the city center, and there are no tall buildings around. Except for the occasional vehicles passing by the door, there is only the sound of birds chirping on the branches.

Xue Jiajia woke up very early today, saying that she made an appointment with a few girlfriends to go to the beauty salon together in the morning, and then go shopping in the afternoon.

Hearing the sound of Shaoyang's snoring on the bed gradually becoming smaller, and occasionally the sound of long breathing, Xue Jiajia, who had been sharing the same bed for so many years, knew that this was a sign that her husband was about to wake up.

Shao Yang opened his eyes leisurely, the dazzling sunlight penetrated into the room from the window, Shao Yang couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his eyes.

"Why did you get up so early today?"

"Did you forget?" Xue Jiajia put on makeup and said, "I asked some of them out today."

"My brain~"

Xue Jiajia put on a light lipstick, got up and walked to the window, opened the curtains and said, "Get up quickly, don't stay in bed."

"I don't have anything to do when I get up, so I might as well sleep more." Shao Yang got up and grabbed Xue Jiajia's hand, and pulled her into his arms.

"Oh, stop making trouble."

Shao Yang buried his head into Xue Jiajia's neck, sniffed it greedily, and said with a flattering smile, "You smell so good."

"Go brush your teeth and wash your face, and send Niuniu to the school bus later."

As soon as Xue Jiajia finished speaking, the door of the bedroom was pushed open. Niu Niu stood at the door angrily, and when she saw her parents hugging each other on the bed, she immediately scolded with an angry expression: "Two big boys! Lazy, I've finished eating, you don't get up yet."

"Dad, get up now, get up now." Shao Yang lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and was kicked by Xue Jiajia as soon as he put on his slippers. Shao Yang rubbed his butt, walked to the door, and said with a smile, "Dad will be fine soon." , you go downstairs and wait for Dad."

"Really, I want to call you every day." After Niuniu finished speaking in disgust, she pouted and went downstairs.

After Shaoyang washed up in twos and twos, he went downstairs to eat a bowl of noodles, then took Niuniu's schoolbag and took her to the gate to wait for the school bus.

"dad."

"Ah."

"I want to discuss something with you." Niuniu raised her head and said seriously.

"what's up?"

"Can you, mom and grandma stop calling me Niuniu?"

"Why?"

"Because people will call me that when they hear it."

Shaoyang asked curiously: "In the kindergarten, will the classmates also teach you Niuniu?"

Niuniu shook her head and said, "That's what our principal would call me."

"Ok."

Shaoyang knelt down, brushed Niuniu's broken hair from her forehead behind her ears, and said with a doting smile: "In the future, at home, Mom and Dad will still call you Niuniu, but if there are outsiders, we will call you Wanniu." Is the sound good?"

"Okay." Niuniu nodded, stretched out her little finger and said, "Then the hook."

Seeing her serious appearance, Shao Yang looked exactly like Xue Jiajia, he stretched out his little finger to catch Niu Niu's little finger.

"If the hook is hung for 100 years, it must not be changed. It is a puppy to deceive people."

far away.

A small car came at a constant speed, and then stopped firmly in front of the two of them.

"Morning, Papa Shao."

"Morning, Teacher Liu"

After Shaoyang sent Niuniu into the school bus and watched the school bus go away, the bored Shaoyang checked Weibo for a while, and then TikTok for a while, and finally felt bored, so Shaoyang dialed a phone call on a whim.

"Beep beep."

"Hey, Shaoyang, it's rare for you to call me. How are you doing?"

"I'm still the same, stepping into retirement early, how about you, how are you doing?"

"The movie is finishing up recently. Have you watched the sample I sent you?"

"Look, it's not bad, basically in line with my expectations."

"Haha, I feel relieved after hearing your words. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. After all, this is the first time I make this type of movie."

"When the movie is cut, you can send it to me for a look. I've been so busy lately."

"No problem, that's it. My actors are all ready, so I won't tell you."

"it is good."

After chatting for a few words, the phone hung up.

The person on the other end of the phone was Yan Fei, who had been filming "Axe Mountain Journey" for the past two years.

That's right, in order to be released domestically.

Shaoyang changed the name of the movie to "A Journey to Ax Mountain", and the place names in the movie are all fictitious, but the plot and characters have not changed.

"son."

Seeing Shaoyang finish the call, Chen Lanying came over and said, "Mom has something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Well... now that Niuniu is grown up, she basically doesn't need to be taken care of, mom... Mom wants to go back to her hometown."

"go back home?"

"Well, your dad must be very lonely staying alone in his hometown, and mom is still more used to living in his hometown, at least surrounded by people he knows."

Hearing this, Shaoyang immediately blamed himself again.

In the past few years, my mother has been helping to take care of the children at home. She is basically responsible for three meals a day and Niu Niu at home, almost like a nanny at home.

"Okay." I thought my son would not agree, but Shao Yang nodded quickly and said: "The day after tomorrow, I will drive you to the train station the day after tomorrow, but Mom, you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"You're going back to your hometown, so don't waste your money. It's better to have a lot of money every day. I don't want people at home to say that I'm not filial."

Chen Lanying smiled happily: "Don't save it, don't save it, my son is so promising, how can I save money?"
