Entertainment Industry Acting Emperor
Chapter 65 Being a Guest
When Gongxi Qiao woke up, her mind was a little dazed, and she hugged the blanket for a moment, before she remembered that this was not her own home, but Xi Qing's villa.
He sat up from the sofa and didn't see Xi Qing. Just as he was about to stand up to look for someone, he saw Xi Qing coming out of the kitchen with a fruit plate in his hand: "Are you awake?"
"What time is it?" He reached out and forked a piece of kiwi fruit from the fruit plate with a silver skewer and put it in his mouth. Gong Xiqiao rubbed his eyes.
"It's already one o'clock in the afternoon. Go wash your hands and get ready for lunch." Seeing that he forked another piece of kiwi, Xi Qing couldn't help but said, "Don't eat too much fruit, or you won't be able to eat later."
"Oh," Gongxi Qiao nodded, and couldn't help but forked another piece of fruit into his mouth.
Seeing this, Xi Qing gave a helpless smile, turned around and signaled to a maid in the corner that dinner was ready.
The table in the dining room is very luxurious and beautiful, but in Gong Xiqiao's view, such a large table seems a bit empty for Xi Qing to use by himself.So when he took his seat, he directly chose the seat next to the main seat, instead of being across a long diagonal from Xi Qing.
There were eight dishes and two soups on the table one by one. Although they were just home-cooked dishes, they were basically all delicious in color, flavor and taste. It can be seen that the chefs of Xi's family are all masters.
The only thing that is a bit out of place is a shiitake mushroom cabbage. It may be that when it was fried, the heat was too high. The color of the cabbage was so green that it was a bit black.
Noticing that Gong Xiqiao's eyes fell on some of his failed dishes, Xi Qing said a little uncomfortably: "Taste the dishes first, whether it suits your appetite."
Perhaps because he had a cold, the dishes on the table were not spicy, but they tried their best to suit his taste.
The chef certainly doesn't know what dishes he likes to eat, so the chef can only make these dishes under special orders from the master Xi Qing.
After drinking half a bowl of soup, Gongxiqiao picked up the chopsticks to taste the food.The first chopstick he put down was the plate of shiitake mushrooms and choy sum that was farthest away from him.
The heat was too high, and the dish was a bit mushy in his mouth, and the salt was less, which made it a bit bland, but even so, he didn't say anything, but picked another chopstick and put it in his mouth before starting to start with another dish.
"Is the filming going well?" Xi Qing noticed that Gong Xiqiao had picked mushrooms and cabbage for the fifth time, and the uneasiness on her face gradually disappeared, and she began to find topics to chat with Gong Xiqiao.
"It's okay, the staff in the crew are all experienced seniors in the industry, I learned a lot," Gongxi Qiao swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of the warm milk at hand, and said, "However, I think the crew's attitude of keeping improving should cost a lot of money. How much money did you invest in this movie?"
Xi Qing thought about it carefully: "The financial department has a professional budget, so you don't have to worry about not having enough money."
Gongxi Qiao: ...
The focus seems to be wrong.
Noticing something wrong with Gongxiqiao's expression, Xi Qing asked, "What's wrong?"
Gong Xiqiao shook his head: "No." The real local tyrant is here, what kind of trouble is his little trouble?
"When is "The Great Hero" going to be released?" Xi Qing remembered that Xiao Qiao seemed to have invested tens of millions in this movie. If the box office is not good after it is released, it will be Xiao Qiao's money that will be lost.
"It may be a few months. According to Director Wang, I seem to plan to participate in a foreign film festival." Gong Xiqiao, as the shopkeeper, didn't bother with the post-editing of "The Great Hero". There is a professional person in charge of this part, so if the crew producer did not report to him regularly, he might not even know where the post-production of the film is going.
Although he is not very interested in the domestic film and television industry, Xi Qing also knows that the domestic film and television industry is not well recognized internationally, so he was a little surprised to hear that "The Great Hero" is going to participate in foreign film festivals, " Which film festival?"
"It seems to be...the Iris Kingdom Golden Leaf International Film Festival," Gong Xiqiao thought carefully, "It seems to be this."
Compared with Huaguo's fate that it is almost difficult to win awards at the Midi Country Statue International Film Festival, the Golden Leaf Film Festival of Iris Country is much more friendly. At least Huaguo has won some good awards at this film festival. awards.However, the Golden Leaf Award prefers Huaguo's suffering-themed movies. It may be difficult for martial arts works like "The Great Hero" to win an award with high gold content.
Xi Qing also knew this, so he didn't keep talking about this topic. He was worried that Gong Xiqiao's hopes would increase and his disappointment would increase.
Xi Qing, who doesn't like to talk at the dinner table, just talked and laughed with Gong Xiqiao and finished his lunch. He also ate half a bowl of rice and drank half a bowl of soup more than usual. It can be seen that family chatting meals are conducive to improving appetite.
Eight dishes and two soups are not considered rich for entertaining guests, but after all, there are only two people dining, so after the meal, except for the accident that most of the shiitake mushroom dish was eaten, other dishes were not used half.
After dinner, the two of them had nothing to do, so they simply made a pot of tea and went to the greenhouse to drink tea and chat.
Xi's flower house is very large, and there are many rare varieties of flowers in it, but judging from Xi Qing's appearance, it seems that he is not very interested in flowers and plants.
Noticing that Gong Xiqiao seemed to be interested in these flowers and plants, Xi Qing poured the brewed tea into the cup and explained: "My father is a flower lover, and these flowers are all treasures he collected when he was alive. , I will ask someone to take care of these flowers and plants. If there is something you like, I will send it to you. "
Hearing Xi Qing mention his parents for the first time, Gong Xiqiao withdrew his attention from the flowers and plants, and sat down beside Xi Qing: "These flowers are well taken care of. It's a pity to die." He is an artist now, and sometimes he goes out on location, so he doesn't have enough time to take care of these flowers and plants.
"Alright, you can come over anytime you want to see it." Xi Qing pushed the teacup towards Gong Xiqiao, "To me, these flowers are just a bunch of flowers that don't know the name of the species. If you Let’s take a look later, it’s not like burying them.”
The other party said these few plain words, but Gong Xiqiao could hear a bit of loneliness. He paused slightly for the hand that was stretched out to take the cup, paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay."
At this moment, his personal mobile phone rang suddenly. He picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was Chen Ke's call.
Chen Ke told him a piece of good news. It turned out that the public service advertisement he co-produced with the National TV Station will be fully broadcast on more than ten channels of the National TV Station tonight. Great opportunity.
After hanging up the phone, Gongxi Qiao picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was fragrant and delicious, and it was a rare good tea.
Xi Qing didn't ask what it was, but Gong Xiqiao briefly said it.
"I thought about something seriously a while ago." Xi Qing put down the teacup, with a wry smile that Gong Xiqiao had never seen on her face, "What kind of person can be worthy of such an excellent person like you. "
"Then is there a conclusion now?" Gong Xiqiao turned the teacup in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Xi Qing looked up at him, shook her head and nodded again: "I have reached a conclusion that is not a conclusion."
Gong Xiqiao didn't ask what his conclusion was, but said: "Actually, I'm not good at all. No matter who looks at you, you are many times better than me. I should express this kind of emotion."
"If you were me, you might not be worse than me; but if I were you, I might not be better than you," Xi Qing shook her head, "Those people don't know you, so they don't know how good you are."
"Those people don't understand me?" Gongxi Qiao raised her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "Do you understand me better?"
The expression on Xi Qing's face was a little uncomfortable. He looked at Gong Xiqiao and hesitated for a moment, then shook his head honestly: "I don't know you well enough, but I want to know you better."
"Sometimes the estrangement of friends comes from knowing each other too well," Gong Xiqiao rested his chin with one hand, "Maybe after you fully understand me, you will regret having me as a friend."
"No," Xi Qing said looking at him, "because I know myself."
Gong Xiqiao smiled inexplicably, picked up the teapot on the table to refill the tea for Xi Qing, and then continued it slowly for herself, "Haven't you ever thought that I might use your identity to refill the tea for me? Seeking welfare for the family? You also understand in your heart that although the fans call me Young Master Qiao, in fact, my family's family background is simply a mosquito's leg in the eyes of your aristocratic families, which is not worth mentioning."
Xi Qing looked at him deeply: "Sometimes, I actually hope that you can get closer to me because of these. I have nothing, and all I can have is the identity of the Patriarch of the Xi family."
There was a moment of silence in the greenhouse, which was broken by Gongxi Qiao's laughter: "Why would you say that about yourself?"
"I have it, but you don't lack it. You have it, but I don't necessarily have it," Xi Qing lowered his eyelids, looking at the rising and falling tea stems in his cup, his voice was so calm and emotionless, "Perhaps, this Patriarch of the Xi family Identity, for me, is of little value."
Sometimes when you like someone, you can't help but pay attention to everything about him, even a small gesture.It is said that Mr. Qiao is gentle and courteous, but he knows that the person sitting next to him, under the perfect skin, hides a not-so-gentle soul.
Xiao Qiao's words and deeds are courteous and considerate to the nobles of the aristocratic family, and she can't find a trace of neglect.But he could feel that deep in Xiao Qiao's heart, there was not much difference between those princes of aristocratic families and passers-by on the street.
Because he has the ability to let himself live the same superior life, so he is not envious of what others have, let alone wronging himself to please. Thoughtful etiquette is just his code of conduct.
He sat up from the sofa and didn't see Xi Qing. Just as he was about to stand up to look for someone, he saw Xi Qing coming out of the kitchen with a fruit plate in his hand: "Are you awake?"
"What time is it?" He reached out and forked a piece of kiwi fruit from the fruit plate with a silver skewer and put it in his mouth. Gong Xiqiao rubbed his eyes.
