This man knows how to hype

Chapter 508 Rejuvenation

Northwest Film and Television Base.

The crew of "Fate" stayed in the hotel where they filmed the movie.

Zhang Jianbai, chairman and director of Huahai, was chatting with several senior executives of the crew. There were also several new female actors who were called from within the company to make guest appearances, accompanying them.

As they were chatting, the topic suddenly turned to Xu Xiyu.

"Xu Xiyu went to the United States." someone said.

"Why is he going to the United States?" Zhang Jianbai was puzzled.

"They say he's been nominated for a Hugo Award, so let's go to the awards ceremony."

"What is the Hugo Award?" Before Zhang Jianbai could reply, a female artist who was sitting on the side and making tea for them asked curiously.

In fact, this female artist knew what the Hugo Award was. Influenced by the old employees of Huaqing, this news was now spreading everywhere among the employees of Huahai, so she naturally heard about it.

But she just pretended not to understand, and let Zhang Jianbai or other senior executives present show off their erudition.

Finally, I look at them with admiration to show that I have learned something. Isn't this the maximum emotional value?
Obviously, her goal was achieved, and the senior executive who spoke began to explain.

The more he explained, the more admiration appeared in the female artist's eyes.

After she finished explaining, she said with an innocent look, "Boss Wu, why do you know everything? It seems like there is no problem in the world that is too difficult for you. This is amazing."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Wu burst into laughter, feeling quite pleased.

The others also laughed when they saw this. They were all experienced people and could still see through the female artist's flattery skills. But being able to see through it didn't mean they felt uncomfortable when being flattered.

After enjoying it for a while, Zhang Jianbai suddenly realized something was wrong and frowned, "Hey, that's not right. The copyright of The Three-Body Problem is in Xu Xiyu's hands. Why isn't it in Huahai's hands?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the office suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Mr. Wu finally responded and explained, "The situation of The Three-Body Problem is special, as it is not a project approved within Huaqing.

It was leaked accidentally when Xu Xiyu was repairing his computer while filming "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong. At that time, several music he composed for "The Three-Body Problem" were also leaked.

Therefore, he had to release and publish the seventh draft of The Three-Body Problem; the copyright of this temporarily leaked project could not be in the hands of Hua Hai, because it had nothing to do with Hua Qing in the first place. "

Zhang Jianbai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The reason he asked that question just now was not because he was greedy for the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", but because of other reasons.

In the past few months, "Shanghai Fortress", "Superpower Family" and "New Paradise · Wangxian 2" are all being filmed, and many rumors have reached his ears.

Words like "it's broken" and "it's rotten" never stopped.

But when I called the main creator of the crew, the reply I got was "Everything is progressing in an orderly manner, there will be no problems, Mr. Zhang."

The two diametrically opposite tones made Zhang Jianbai unconsciously feel some pressure.

But he still chose to believe the main creators of the crew, because most of those "rumors" came from Hua Qing's old employees.

Zhang Jianbai felt that this might be the "hidden man" left behind by Xu Xiyu who was deliberately leading the pace and messing with people's mentality.

But then again, although he believed in the main creators, the pressure in Zhang Jianbai's heart had not disappeared. He even began to worry that there were problems with the project that Xu Xiyu had left behind.

Therefore, when I heard that "The Three-Body Problem" was going to the United States to win an award, the feeling of "there's a trap" instantly came to my mind.

He was worried that Xu Xiyu had deliberately left some "sugar-coated poison" for Huahai and left with the "real sugar".

But after listening to Mr. Wu's explanation, he felt that this was indeed a coincidence.

Since it was a coincidence, there was no need to worry. However, he still asked with concern: "Old Wu, if Xu Xiyu won the Hugo Award, what would happen next?"

"You can't get it." Old Wu shook his head.

"why?"

"This award has never been given to a Chinese person. Not only Chinese people, but no one in Asia has ever won it. So, it is impossible for it to be awarded to Xu Xiyu." Old Wu said with a smile.

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Jianbai to ask any more questions, he continued, "Let's take a step back and say that even if he really did take it down, it wouldn't have much of an effect."

"It's useless even if I win the award, why?" the female artist asked on behalf of Zhang Jianbai.

“Why do you think this award has been held for seventy or eighty times, but you have never heard of it? Doesn’t that explain the problem?

The Three-Body Problem is already well-known enough here, and winning this award is just icing on the cake at best, and it won’t have any effect.” Old Wu spread his hands.

His words removed the last bit of worry in Zhang Jianbai's heart.

Yes, what Old Wu said makes sense.

So, Zhang Jianbai laughed loudly and deliberately belittled him, "I think Xu Xiyu is really bored now, and he wants to claim such a fake award.

At first, he could have taken Lv Qinyao and the others away with the grand prize at the Venice Film Festival, but now he is really like Wang Xiaoer, getting worse every year. " "Hahahahaha." When he laughed, the others followed suit.

As he was laughing, Old Wu said, "Boss Zhang, you may not know this, but not only Xu Xiyu, but also Lu Qinyao's work has stopped. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Her strong mother was ill, so she had to give up work to take care of her. Do you think it was destined that she would never be famous? She had won all the awards at home and abroad.

The box office, reputation, popularity, data of the work, and even her own acting and singing skills, are all visibly at their peak.

Such a thing happened at this time. Oh my god, I don’t know how long I have to take care of her. When she comes back after taking care of her mother, she will find herself out of date again. "

"Hahahahahaha..." As soon as these words were spoken, the whole office burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, boss, your English is improving rapidly." On the other side, Shan Xinbao, who was accompanying Xu Xiyu to the United States on a private jet, was also laughing.

When Xu Xiyu came back from Venice, he made up his mind to start learning a foreign language. Up to now, he has been studying for almost half a year.

For more than half a year, with the cooperation of teachers and Lu Ke, Hu Yang and others in foreign language communication, and without much to do during this period, I could concentrate on studying.

He has made some progress, especially in speaking and listening. At least he can communicate normally and is no longer a "deaf and open-eared" person like before.

But even so, he was determined to hide his ability as much as possible, which was the inspiration Nancy gave him.

Pretending not to understand has its advantages, as you may get unexpected surprises.

Of course, let’s put aside the unexpected surprises for now.

Xu Xiyu has begun to feel complacent about his learning progress. He feels that he is doing okay. It seems that what his head teacher and English teacher said about him being "smart but not serious" was true.

It's annoying to compare people to others.

It’s not known whether Shan Xinbao has been very determined in the past six months, but her English, which was originally only sufficient for basic communication, has now reached such a high level that even Xu Xiyu can feel that she has made great strides.

This is certainly a good thing, because Shan Xinbao can be trusted, and it is safer to let her do the translation.

But at the same time, Xu Xiyu's feeling of "complacent" disappeared instantly.

Therefore, facing Shan Xinbao's praise, he stretched lazily and said with a bit of boredom: "Do you know how many times I was scolded by your sister-in-law to reach my current level?"

"Which sister-in-law?" Shan Xinbao's eyes turned. There are so many sisters-in-law.

When these words came out, Xu Xiyu was startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Every one."

"Hahahaha~~" Shan Xinbao had no intention of comforting the boss and just laughed like a pig.

As she laughed, she suddenly realized that she shouldn't laugh.

So, he quickly skipped the topic and said, "Boss, speaking of which, I met Du Zhiping once when I accompanied Xiaoyu to a brand dinner a few years ago."

Before leaving, Du Zhiping had already made an appointment with Xu Xiyu over the phone, but Xu Xiyu did not agree to meet her.

In fact, during this time in China, Du Zhiping also asked Xu Xiyu out twice, but Xu Xiyu did not show up for both dates.

He was mainly considering Hu Ningwei's feelings. After all, because of Hu Ningtian's affairs, Hu Ningwei and her aunt were almost at a standstill.

Although the surface responsibility lies with Li Bowen, everyone knows what happened in private.

Now that she has gone abroad, Du Zhiping directly said that she also wants to go to Spokane, and explicitly stated that she came here specifically to meet Xu Xiyu.

In this situation, Xu Xiyu was also very curious about what she wanted to do.

Shan Xinbao naturally heard about this situation from Xu Xiyu, so he mentioned Du Zhiping.

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu couldn't help but ask, "Did she recognize you?"

"She definitely recognized him and even chatted with Xiaoyu for a few words, but Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to her."

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Xiyu's reply, Shan Xinbao sneered again: "Boss, you don't know that this Aunt Du has become even more charming than before since her husband went to jail."

"That's right. The Li family holds all the power. She loves this so much, so naturally she is in the limelight."

"No, Boss, I don't mean to be in the limelight. You just haven't seen her in person. My goodness, I feel like she has regained her youth!"

"Ah?" Xu Xiyu was puzzled. What does rejuvenation mean? Aunt Du is the Child-Fairy of Tianshan. Does she have this ability?

"People say that people feel happy when they are happy. I think she is extremely happy. This proves that Li Bowen was really tricked by her." Shan Xinbao said again.

"So according to what you said, should I see her or not?"

"Let's not meet again. Let's just leave after getting the award. Those women are not good people!" Shan Xinbao said with a Tianjin accent.
