Porcelain to Porcelain

Before the Spring Festival, Zhou Hongxun went to the capital and told Lu Qiu not to worry about "Farewell My Concubine".

That night, Zhou Hongxun confidently asked for a reward, and asked Lu Qiu to break the corn patiently and attentively.

After breaking off the corn, Lu Qiu's fingers felt a little sore.

"Who did you find?"

The General Administration is not something that can be meddled casually.

Zhou Hongxun said a name, and Lu Qiu's heart jumped immediately. He was a person who retreated behind the scenes and still stomped his feet to shake the earth. Those who managed to be summoned by him were all for the most important affairs.Zhou Hongxun just asked for a movie, and the opportunity was too wasted, too extravagant.

Owing such a heavy favor, Lu Qiu felt a little depressed.

Seemingly seeing Lu Qiu's mood, Zhou Hongxun grabbed his hand and squeezed it, not wanting Lu Qiu to be too upset.

"This trip to Beijing, the movie is just incidental."

Zhou Hongxun was so thoughtful, and Lu Qiu felt even more complicated, and only wanted to repay one or two things.

"Hongxun, in the future I will..." Lu Qiu decided to help Zhou Hongxun in the future. The development of network electronic technology in his previous life was at least sixteen or seventeen years more advanced than it is now.I don't know the core technical issues, but I know the direction of development. Some problems can be reminded in advance, so I don't need to go the wrong way.

"What will happen?" Zhou Hongxun's eyes lit up.

"I will make a good film and earn box office all over the world." Lu Qiu blinked his eyes. Lu Qiusheng dropped out of school in his sophomore year. If he suddenly said something too far-sighted, it would make people look sideways.

Points must be reasonable and ingenious, which requires making up words.Lu Qiu worked for eight years in his previous life and was very confident about it.

Zhou Hongxun pinched Lu Qiu's nose. "Your ambition is so ambitious?"

"With you by my side, can we set a bigger goal?" Lu Qiu tactfully flattered Zhou Hongxun.

Being admired by the person he likes, Zhou Hongxun has a smile on his eyes.

"Brother Qiu, in the future, my funds may be tighter."

"Ah?" Lu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood. "Have you decided to develop a smartphone?"

If the smartphone system software was developed earlier than abroad, Feixun would be the Apple of the previous life.Lu Qiu felt that Zhou Hongxun had strength both in technology and capital.Normally, Lu Qiu implicitly guided Zhou Hongxun's thinking towards smartphones by despising the lack of functions of mobile phones.

"A week ago, a foreign software company released an operating system that can be operated with a mobile phone." Zhou Hongxun had a sense of crisis in his eyes.Influenced by Lu Qiu, he realized that the emergence of smart phones will profoundly change modern communication, entertainment, and lifestyle.Therefore, once this operating system was released, Zhou Hongxun couldn't sit still.

Compared with developed countries, there is a big gap in domestic technology, and the rules are all formulated by developed countries. These rules in turn restrict the country, and many high-tech products can only be purchased at high prices.But in the field of emerging technologies, if you are at the forefront, then the rules can be made by you.In any field, the strong prey on the weak, and the winner is king.

This time back to Beijing to meet, Zhou Hongxun reported the smartphone research and development plan, and the old man gave affirmation and support after listening.

"It's not too late to develop Feixun." Lu Qiu was a little excited.

"My funds will be tight in the future." Zhou Hongxun stroked Lu Qiu's hair.

High-tech R&D has always been the most cost-intensive. After the smartphone R&D project is established, Zhou Hongxun can't spend the funds lavishly on other aspects.

Lu Qiu immediately understood Zhou Hongxun's meaning: "Hongxun, Huacheng does not need to invest any more, and the company's profits can be fed back to research and development in the future."

Zhou Hongxun raised his eyebrows, and rubbed Lu Qiu's black hair vigorously: "Okay, I'll wait for you to earn the world box office to support research and development."

Regarding Hwaseong, Zhou Hongxun felt that it would be fine if he didn't lose money, and he didn't have any hope.

Lu Qiu especially wanted to help Zhou Hongxun, and when he had time, he took out the script of "The Love of Ghosts" and repeatedly pondered and revised it, hoping to copy the wonderfulness of the previous life and earn a ticket in the European and American markets.

Two days later it will be New Year's Eve, the night of family reunion, no matter how reluctant Zhou Hongxun is, he has no choice but to let Lu Qiu and him go back to their respective homes and find their respective mothers (sisters).

Every Spring Festival, Zhou Hongxun is very busy.In addition to the Xiao family's side, there are relatives on the biological father's side who must go again.

Professor Xiao has three brothers and sisters. Their parents are still alive. The two old people do not live with their children and are taken care of by nannies.Usually, the children and grandchildren will visit during the holidays, and the elderly are not surprised if they are busy with work and have no time to go there.But on New Year's Eve, the old man requests that those who can arrive must try their best to have the reunion dinner.

Zhou Hongxun also had to follow.Why didn't the rest of the Xiao family tell Zhou Hongxun? Professor Xiao treated Zhou Hongxun very well and fulfilled his stepfather's duties.

As Zhou Hongxun's career became more and more successful, the grade of the Xiao family's New Year's Eve dinner became higher and higher.Because of Professor Xiao's relationship, the work of the younger generations of the Xiao family was more or less honored by Zhou Hongxun.

At first, the Xiao family's New Year's Eve dinner was only for the Xiao family's direct descendants plus Zhou Hongxun. Later, Professor Xiao had more cousins ​​to participate, and then grandma Xiao's nieces and nieces also joined in.On New Year's Eve this year, in addition to relatives, there was also a beautiful and strange unmarried girl.

"Third sister, whose girl is this? She looks so handsome." Wu Haiping was very active today, holding her son by the hand to prevent her from leaving.

"My sister-in-law's daughter is called Xu Wan." One of Xiao Ya's aunts introduced the slim girl beside her. "Xu Wan just came back from graduating from abroad."

"Hello!" Zhou Hongxun nodded to the girl.

"Brother Zhou, I majored in art design, do you think I have a chance to find a job in Feixun?" The girl blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Sorry, I don't know the recruitment requirements of the Personnel Department." Zhou Hongxun looked very cold.

The girl still wanted to talk, but Xiao Ya squeezed over: "Hong Xun, let's go, the twins of the eldest cousin's family are so cute, let's go and see."

Zhou Hongxun nodded immediately: "Are you just waiting for my red envelope?"

"It's good to know." Xiao Ya smiled at Aunt Santang and the girl, and pulled Zhou Hongxun out of the encirclement.

Watching the two go away, the smile on Wu Haiping's face was a little stiff.

After seeing his cousin's one-week-old twins, Zhou Hongxun sat down next to his cousin after stuffing two red envelopes.Except for Xiao Ya, there are no unmarried women here.

Because of Zhou Hongxun, there were a lot of people at this table who came to see the twins.When the dishes were almost served, Zhou Hongxun got up to bid farewell to the old man of the Xiao family.

"Hong Xun, leave so early?" Wu Haiping was rather surprised, usually her son would stay with her until the banquet was over.

Zhou Hongxun said calmly, "I'm a little uncomfortable."

"Where is it uncomfortable?" Wu Haiping was worried.

"There are too many people making me dizzy." Zhou Hongxun looked directly into his mother's eyes.

"You..." Wu Haiping was depressed. His son had a problem with his arranged blind date in disguise.

"Mom!" Zhou Hongxun hugged his mother: "I'll let you make the decisions about the major issues in my life, okay?"

Wu Haiping sighed: "If you make a decision earlier, I can feel at ease."

Zhou Hongxun didn't speak, just hugged his mother again, then turned and left.

After New Year's Eve, Zhou Hongxun never stayed in Xiao's house for a night.Xiao Ya was a little strange. She called Qian Guojun and found nothing, so she thought that Zhou Hongxun's failure to reply was to avoid Wu Haiping's arranging a blind date for him.

After the Spring Festival, "Farewell My Concubine" was released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong.

Xingchen Film and Television Company has its own cinema, and Du Zhiwen specially found a manager for the filming of "Farewell My Concubine".

"How did Farewell My Concubine arrange the whole day?"

"Dong Du ordered it." The manager was a little confused.

Zhou Hongxun greeted Du Zhiwen's father, Du Yuanming, and Du Yuanming gave the manager instructions to screen "Farewell My Concubine" all day within a week.

"Our company's own movies should be shown during prime time." Du Zhiwen reprimanded the manager.

"Farewell My Concubine is quite good. Our company's new film should be staggered from "Farewell My Concubine"." The manager carefully explained.

"Don't miss it, "Farewell My Concubine" is just a movie from the Mainland, so it won't attract Hong Kong fans." Du Zhiwen twitched his lips, "Of course, we have to give Mr. Zhou some face, and the shows will be held at [-] o'clock in the morning and at night. Later."

"Yes, Mr. Du!" The manager observed a 3-minute silence for "Farewell My Concubine".

Du Zhiwen sneered. Most of the time, when there are no movies with big box office appeal, the best movie is the best box office. It can be said that the decision of a few people can affect the survival of this movie.

"Farewell My Concubine" was filmed in mainland China, Hong Kong fans naturally despise it, and secondly, the cast of the film is not strong. Except for Lu Ya, Hong Kong people are very unfamiliar with Sun Jiaxing. As for Lu Qiu, fans have never heard of it. .

Star Cinemas accounted for one-third of the entire Hong Kong city. Du Zhiwen didn't think "Farewell My Concubine" could achieve much box office under the circumstances of deliberately arranging a cold show.

At the beginning of March, while "Farewell My Concubine" was screened in domestic theaters and Hong Kong, it also participated in the French International Film Festival.

After Xie Pu found out about the grades of films scheduled for Star Cinema, his nose almost crooked.

"Mr. Tian, ​​how did you decide the contract with Xingchen?"

Xie Pu and Lu Qiuren were in France, so they had to call Mr. Tian, ​​general manager of Huacheng Film and Television, to inquire about the situation.

"Director Xie, I was careless." Manager Tian was very ashamed. He originally thought that Zhou Hongxun had greeted Du Yuanming.

"It shouldn't be logical. Du Yuanming and his son have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou." Xie Pu couldn't figure it out.

"The theater manager replied that Xingchen himself wants to release new movies." People's own theaters naturally have to focus on their own movies first.

"His grandma's mother, Xipi, you can't miss a week." Shep cursed again. "There are no moths in the country, right?"

"It's okay in China, the shows are good, the audience saw the posters, and there are a lot of pre-sale tickets." Manager Tian's answer made Xie Pu and Lu Qiu more comforted.

The poster of "Farewell My Concubine" is very delicate. There was a news about a passing cyclist falling down while staring at it.At the same time, various major media outlets have published advertisements, and Feixun's online games have also advertised.

Since one-third of the shows in Hong Kong are not well arranged, we can only increase funds and increase publicity efforts to attract fans' attention.

For some reason, Lu Qiu faintly felt that Du Zhiwen was targeting him for the arrangement of the Xingchen Theater's shift, but when he thought about it carefully, Lu Qiu felt that he had nothing worthy of Du Zhiwen's targeting. It was an inexplicable feeling.
