Chapter 314: Ask the Immortal When in Despair
We chatted like this for quite a while.
The people on both sides separated.
On the way back in the car, Wu Youjin's brows were seen furrowed into a shape of a "川" (cross).
Chen Lijiao rolled her eyes and said, "I think Xu Xiyu just wanted to refuse. He brought up the Hong Kong movie and said he wanted to shoot two movies.
He simply treated us as fools. He could have clearly said that he had no plans for new projects and would inform us when he had plans in the future, but he insisted on making up lies. "
As soon as these words came out, Wu Youjin glanced at him and deliberately taught him a lesson: "Just say these words in front of us, don't complain when you go out, his identity may not be as simple as you think.
Someone with good information broke the news to me, saying that Xu Xiyu is the son-in-law of Zhonghui's major shareholder, and there is a 20-year-old rich girl supporting him, and they are just waiting for the girl to be old enough in a few years, and then the two will get married. "
"Ah?" Chen Lijiao covered her mouth in surprise when she heard this. "Is this true? Isn't he dating Ke Xinying? How come another rich girl has appeared?"
"Do you know the details about the affairs of the wealthy families?" Wu Youjin joked. In his heart, he didn't really believe the news.
Hong Kong is a hub for all kinds of true and false news, so just listen to some of the messy ones.
As for Chen Lijiao, she shut up immediately after being reminded of this and dared not complain anymore. The word "rich" has a special deterrent effect in the minds of female artists in the Hong Kong circle.
At this moment, Wu Youjin's secretary's voice came from the co-pilot seat: "Uncle Jin, the box office figures for "Dying to Survive" are out today."
"It came out? How many?" Wu Youjin asked curiously. Yang Yaoting and Chen Lijiao also pricked up their ears.
"3.62 million! That's five million more than yesterday," the secretary said in amazement.
"Damn, so this means that the box office of this movie has exceeded 14 billion? Today is only the second day of its release!" Yang Yaoting immediately responded in surprise.
Even though he has been acting in movies for so many years, this is the first time he has seen such an exaggerated box office.
Therefore, he then sighed: "I'm afraid this time it will break the box office record in mainland China's film history."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Lijiao covered her mouth again, and all kinds of emotions burst out from her wide eyes.
But at this moment, Wu Youjin felt like he was in a vinegar jar.
Because of the six joint venture films that failed this time, two were produced by Queen. The combined box office of these two films is not as high as that of "Dying to Survive" today.
How could he not be jealous?
But as he felt more and more sour, other ideas came to his mind.
Now, Xu Xiyu used the excuse of "making a Hong Kong-style film" to refuse, so I might as well take advantage of him and pretend to believe that he really wanted to make it, and discuss the new movie with him.
He has stated that he doesn't want any copyrights or anything like that, and the actors can help him find them themselves. Doesn't that just put him in a good position?
By then, he would definitely not be able to pretend anymore. After all, it would be impossible for him to really make a Hong Kong-style film.
But I have done him a solid favor, so if I want to join his project again, he won't be able to refuse.
No, what if this kid really gets too cocky?
What if he thinks he can really make a Hong Kong-style film?
Wouldn't it be like delivering the goods to their door if I took advantage of their situation?
He kept thinking like this all the way to Hong Kong. When he saw Yang Yaoting and Chen Lijiao got out of the car, Wu Youjin changed his mind again.
He said to the driver, "Don't go back yet, go to Master Mai."
The secretary couldn't help but remind him, "It's so late, maybe Master Mai has already gone to bed."
"I just messaged her to make an appointment. I also found out Xu Xiyu's birth date and horoscope. I have to calculate it before I can feel at ease." Wu Youjin said very seriously.
The secretary and the driver did not show any surprise when they heard this. There are many people in Hong Kong who believe this, and Wu Youjin is one of them.
At the same time, on the other side, Xu Xiyu had just finished washing and was lying on the bed, while Ke Xinying was wearing a bathrobe, a hair dryer cap on her head, standing in front of the mirror and applying skin care products on herself.
After finishing, Ke Xinying turned around and walked towards the bed, saying, "Do you think Wu Youjin will choose to make a Hong Kong-style movie with you?"
Hearing this question, Xu Xiyu shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. The meeting with him was a last-minute decision."
"Didn't you say you wanted to help Lu Qinyao win awards in mainland China and Hong Kong?" Ke Xinying pouted and said in a sour tone.
Xu Xiyu did not hide this matter, but told her directly.
In fact, Xu Xiyu had a open conversation with Ke Xinying about everything concerning Lu Qinyao.
After all, the relationship between the three people is really complicated. To be honest, it was Ke Xinying who stole Lu Qinyao's boyfriend, not Lu Qinyao who was a mistress.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so nice to her. Why don't you think about helping me win all the awards from across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong?" Ke Xinying continued to pout as she lifted the quilt and sat in the bed.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiyu did not answer the question directly, but joked cheerfully: "You look like an Indian with the bandage on your head."
"You are the third brother, why are you cursing so dirty!" Ke Xinying hit Xu Xiyu lightly. Then she hugged his arm and half-lying on his shoulder.
She continued in a coquettish manner: "Hey, you just said that it doesn't matter if Wu Youjin doesn't agree. Do you have any other way to help Lu Qinyao win the award?"
"There is no other way. If he doesn't agree, we can just find someone else. Queen's company is not the only one in Hong Kong. There are also Jiahe and Yongsheng, right?"
"In fact, if you are willing to bring Wu Youjin to invest in movies of other themes, I think he would still be willing." Ke Xinying meant that when Xu Xiyu was shooting a mainland movie, he should bring Wu Youjin to invest.
It would be enough to make one Hong Kong-style film. As long as Wu Youjin is brought in to invest, he will definitely be willing to go to the Academy Awards to make arrangements. There is no need to make two films.
But Xu Xiyu shook his head and said, "That won't work. The movie prepared for Qin Yao may not be able to support the box office and reputation. If so, it is very likely that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble. I can't ruin my reputation.
Therefore, I had to come up with a Hong Kong-style film that could hold up to word of mouth. In addition, in the past two days, many colleagues from the mainland actually approached me.
I don’t have any extra investment shares for my mainland projects to give to Wu Youjin, so I will give some to my mainland counterparts, so that the mainland awards will be secure.”
You can't eat alone because your ability to resist risks and dirty tricks is too weak.
From now on, Xu Xiyu will give out 3% of his investment share in every movie produced by Huaqing, leaving 2% for himself, 3% for Huaqing, and 2% for Xiao Moss.
Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and how it will be divided in the future will depend on the specific projects.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu was about to say something else.
But I heard Ke Xinying asked doubtfully: "No, you haven't filmed it yet, and you haven't even prepared the script yet. How do you know that the movie for Lv Qinyao won't be able to support the box office and reputation?"
This question startled Xu Xiyu, but he reacted quickly and explained naturally, "I already have a preliminary idea, so I have a preliminary judgment. Generally speaking, my judgment is very accurate."
Hearing this, Ke Xinying loosened her arms, stood up, and looked at Xu Xiyu's head carefully for a long time.
Then he exclaimed in amazement: "The last time I watched an interview with 'Kuangdu', Zhang Wenyan said that you can go over the plot scenes in detail in your mind, even down to the details. Could it be true?" "It is indeed true. It may not be possible for scripts written by others, but as long as it is a script written by me, I can go over it in my mind, just like watching the finished film." Xu Xiyu admitted without any hesitation.
This is not the time to be modest.
When other people ask him in the future, he will have to say the same thing. If he says it enough, someone will naturally come out to "give a scientific explanation."
When Ke Xinying heard this, she went straight into Xu Xiyu's arms and said with a smile: "My husband is so awesome!"
When these words were spoken, Xu Xiyu was stunned.
Although many couples like to call each other "husband" or "wife", they have never called each other that.
In fact, neither of them has ever called each other "baby" or anything like that.
Therefore, when Ke Xinying suddenly called her "husband", Xu Xiyu was really surprised.
Ke Xinying seemed to have noticed his thoughts, and she raised her head from her arms, looking up at him with a delicate gaze, "Why, you don't like me calling you that?"
"No...why wouldn't I like it?" Xu Xiyu stroked her head with mixed feelings.
After getting this answer, Ke Xinying buried her head in Xu Xiyu's arms again. After a while, she called out again: "Husband~"
"Eh~" Xu Xiyu responded slowly.
Hearing this response, she shouted again, and this time Xu Xiyu responded more promptly and naturally.
This made Ke Xinying rub against his arms with satisfaction.
Actually, the reason why she acted like this was because she heard more gossip in Hong Kong than Wu Youjin.
Moreover, every piece of gossip pointed directly at Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei, which made her feel that someone was deliberately spreading this kind of news.
However, compared to finding out who spread the news, she cared more about Xu Xiyu. She didn't want anyone to follow her example and poach her.
To be honest, she could totally accept Xu Xiyu being a bit romantic, because she had seen it a lot, and in her mind, she didn't think it was a big deal.
But if someone poached her boyfriend's identity, Ke Xinying really didn't want to face it.
Thinking of this, she asked again: "When are you going home? Can you take me with you?"
"After "The Annual Party Can't Stop" is released, it is indeed time to go back. My mother told me that the villa she built for me has been renovated." Xu Xiyu did not refuse.
"Yeah." Ke Xinying nodded.
After a long while, she said again: "I am already thirty-one."
"You look like you're 21." Xu Xiyu said with a smile. Ke Xinying really took good care of herself and had no pressure at all in playing the role of a college student.
"It looks useless." Ke Xinying shook her head.
After hesitating for a long time, she continued, "Let's have a baby while I'm still young. I'm afraid that something might go wrong in a few years."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu's face flashed a trace of panic. Even on Earth, he was in his thirties and had never really considered having children.
Now I am on Blue Star, and I am only 24 years old.
and many more.
With a bang, another thought exploded in Xu Xiyu's mind.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Lu Qinyao had been so unhappy these days. She was 34 years old this year, and although she looked like she was 24, as Ke Xinying said, she looked useless.
At the same time, Wu Youjin on the other side was communicating with the Master Mai he mentioned.
Master Mai's full name is Mai Lin. She is a famous master of Yixue, fortune teller and geomancer in Hong Kong. She is known as the Iron Plate Divine Calculator. Of course, in the eyes of those who don't believe in these things, she is just a charlatan.
However, as I said before, Wu Youjin believed it, and he believed it very much.
At this time, Mai Lin had already used Xu Xiyu's birth date and time to make a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart and explained it to Wu Youjin.
As he was talking, Wu Youjin suddenly frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Xu Xiyu is about to enter the next great period?"
"From the chart, that's right." Mai Lin smiled. In Zi Wei Dou Shu, the big limit refers to the fortune in the next 10 years. Entering the next big limit means that Xu Xiyu's fortune in the next 10 years will change.
Therefore, Wu Youjin asked: "Is this change good or bad?"
"It cannot be described as good or bad. It should be judged by combining the minor limit and the annual flow. He is now in his prime, so the main focus should be on the wealth palace and the migration palace in the fate palace."
"How is the Wealth Palace?"
"He is now under the control of the Seven Killing Stars. As the saying goes, when one's fortunes are limited to the Seven Killing Stars, there will often be special turning points. Things may succeed or fail quickly, or the development and changes may be great." Mai Lin still smiled.
Although if you think about her words carefully, you will find that they are complete nonsense.
But Wu Youjin listened to it.
Either quick success or quick failure?
It looks like he was defeated in a hurry.
As the saying goes, young and frivolous, this kid Xu Xiyu might really be a little too proud.
Thinking of this, Wu Youjin asked one last question: "Master, Xu Xiyu's "Kuang Biao" and "Dying to Survive" are so popular. Did that mean he used up all his luck in making money?"
"I can't say that it's all used up, but it's definitely consumed a lot. As I said just now, his time has come and his fortune will change, both in terms of his good fortune and his windfall fortune."
After hearing this, Wu Youjin made a decision.
That is to stay away from Xu Xiyu and don't mention any cooperation anymore. It's obvious that this loser is starting to go downhill.
On the other hand, Jiahe’s boss Cheng Guangzu also made a decision after receiving the news of Wu Youjin and Xu Xiyu’s meeting.
He decided to get a piece of the pie no matter what.
Of course, he didn't expect that Wu Youjin didn't even listen to the cards.
This is the only chapter for today. I didn’t get enough rest these two days. I’ll see if I can add another chapter tomorrow. Please forgive me.
