Chapter 394

"Still sleeping in." Gong Xue smiled and reached her hand into the quilt.

However, the place she touched was flat. Where was Sister Lin's chest?

When she realized something was wrong, Wei Ming had already pulled her into the quilt.

It was a man!

Gong Xue was so scared that she was about to scream when she heard a voice: "It's me."

"Ah?" And then she couldn't make a sound.

Every morning was when Ma Xiaowei Ming was most energetic. She could be considered to have come at the right time, and he still had the scent of Sister Lin on him.

An hour later, the two were snuggling together. Wei Ming told Sister Xue about a script job he had taken in Hong Kong with a million HKD plus a share, which stunned Sister Xue.

"I also heard that your song was nominated for some American Grammy Award, which is very powerful, right?"

Wei Ming: "You could say that. If I can win the award, I will be able to sign more favorable contracts when facing the American music scene in the future, and I can earn more foreign exchange for the country."

"You are really great, I'm proud of you!" Sister Xue's eyes were full of worship for her little man, and then there was another round of lip-to-lip combat.

Sister Xue didn't have so many amazing experiences, so she started telling Ma Xiaowei about the interesting things in the crew, including the fact that two male actors in the crew were spotted by Director Yang Jie who came to visit the crew.

"Comrade Chi Zhongrui is now starting to study Buddhist scriptures, just waiting to shave his head and go to the temple to study as soon as the movie is finished."

Wei Ming laughed: "I heard that Comrade Wang Yue from the Beijing Film Academy is also studying in a temple in Beijing. It seems Director Yang has a choice."

Oh, there was also a Tang Seng. I don't know if he had a chance. To be honest, Xu Tang Seng was the most delicate-looking one, and also the most suitable for playing the episode of the Daughter Kingdom.

After talking for a while, the lost physical strength was restored. After washing, Gong Xue asked: "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make some noodles for you."

"Add a poached egg."

After Gong Xue was almost done, Wei Ming had already put on his pajamas and went over, hugging her from behind and acting spoiled: "I miss you two so much."

Sister Xue rubbed the little man's head: "Me too. I heard 'Camel Xiangzi' is out. Let's go watch the movie later."

Wei Ming: "Okay, after watching the movie, let's wait for Sister Lin to come back at home."

Gong Xue blushed: "Don't think about that kind of thing. We won't agree, and I just came back, I have to live at my parents' house at night."

"I didn't say anything. It's just three people talking, playing landlord, etc." Wei Ming looked innocent.

Wei Ming was responsible for queuing to buy tickets. When the movie was about to start, the two sneaked in in the dark, and they were wrapped up tightly.

South Gong Xue and North Zhu Lin were no joke. Facts proved that bundling marketing was indeed effective. The fan power of the two had already surpassed the Three Flowers of the Beijing Er Yingchang, Chen Chong and Zhang Yu of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Jiang Lili of the Changchun Er Yingchang, and Pan Hong of the Emei Er Yingchang.

After 'Once Upon a Time in China and America' was released, Gong Xue appeared on more than ten magazine covers, especially loved by her fellow villagers in the Magic City. Although she was in the Beijing Er Yingchang, the label of "Magic City person" on her couldn't be torn off, and the Shanghai Er Yingchang was also trying to find ways to snatch Gong Xue from the Beijing Er Yingchang.

Although 'Camel Xiangzi' was a new movie, it was morning after all, and the occupancy rate in the cinema was only about half. No one cared about the two in the corner.

And the movie was really good. The most critical thing was that the characters were very fitting. Zhang Fengyi was simply the chosen Xiangzi. Some people stood there and didn't need to do anything to be that character.

Although Siqin Gaowa was not considered beautiful among female stars, she was still much better looking than Huniu in the book, so she specifically used two exaggerated tiger teeth to make up for her disadvantage in appearance. Coupled with the fierce tigress temperament, she absolutely crushed the newcomer Zhang Fengyi in acting.

After watching the movie, Wei Ming said: "You and Sister Lin will have opponents in next year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers."

"I can't do it. My scenes in 'Painting in the Pen' are not many. I guess there's no chance to compete for the heroine."

It was precisely because there were not many scenes that she didn't have to stay in the crew at any time after returning to the Magic City.

"No chance for Golden Rooster, but Hundred Flowers is hard to say. Ordinary audience voting often doesn't look at the performance but at the actor. You can at least eat the bonus of the character He Hua for two years." Wei Ming felt that Sister Xue was almost certain to win the Hundred Flowers Award this year. If she couldn't win it, it could only be Sister Lin of 'Family Happiness,' and no one else had a chance.

Gong Xue suddenly thought of one thing: "Then are you going to accompany Sister Lin to watch it again?"

Wei Ming sighed: "Yes, but let's wait until I'm about to leave. By then, I should have almost forgotten it."

At this time, the first and second-tier cities in the mainland were 'Camel Xiangzi,' and the third and fourth-tier cities were still showing 'Once Upon a Time in China and America.'

And in Hong Kong, as the end of the year approached, the movie entered the off-season, and everyone was waiting for the holiday in the few days before the New Year.

Cinema City saw it and simply moved up the schedule. Previously, the four new movies of the four major forces were all on January 22nd. Now, 'Aces Go Places,' directed by Zeng Zhiwei and starring Michael Hui and Sam Hui, was moved up to January 16th, a Saturday.

Before this movie was released, the publicity offensive was fully launched. First, they pulled over Sam Hui under Golden Harvest, and the astonishing act of spending 2 million HKD on the salary shocked the Hong Kong film circle.

Before this, the only person whose salary could exceed one million was Jackie Chan, and that was because Jackie Chan had an overseas market and could be compared with Bruce Lee.

And at this time, the salaries of big-name stars in Hong Kong were generally only 100,000 or 200,000, and the cost of a movie was only one or two million.

The second selling point of 'Aces Go Places' was the big production. Externally, it was said to be an investment of 8 million HKD. In fact, there was always 6 million, an absolute super investment, known as the "Hong Kong version of 007."

The advertisement was blown hard, so many people queued up to watch the movie on the first day of release.

Amin was already on vacation. Without Amin accompanying her, she looked at the people around her and finally could only go to watch it with Aunt Lin Ni. Old Gui was eager for someone to free himself from his little young wife.

Lin Ni excitedly popularized science to Zhou Huimin: "The heroine of this movie is Sylvia Chang. When she was a child, she often followed her parents to our house to pay New Year's greetings. The little girl has a lot of personality."

"Aunt, then have you seen Deng Lijun?" Amin asked curiously. If you want to talk about the number one female singer in the Chinese music scene now, it must be Deng Lijun from Taiwan.

Although the number one sister of the Hong Kong music scene, Xu Xiaofeng, also had influence in Taiwan, Deng Lijun not only had huge influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but her works also successfully broke into the world's second largest music market, Japan.

"I've seen her. She performed a program at our house and grew a small round face," Lin Ni said, "Her voice is really sweet."

While talking, they arrived at the cinema of the Golden Princess circuit. Amin hurriedly put on a mask to prevent being recognized.

However, the mask was in the way when watching the movie, hindering her from eating popcorn.

The two were eating, laughing, and "wowing" while watching. After watching, there were only two words: "Worth it!"

It was worthy of being a big production of 8 million. Explosions, flying cars, and other things in Hollywood blockbusters were all here, and Sam Hui also performed a real high-altitude skydive. It felt like if he was not careful, he would have to change actors and reshoot.

And the theme song of the same name sung by Sam Hui was also very good.

At the same time, the Seven Monsters of Cinema City were also observing the audience's reaction in the cinema. After watching, they knew that they had bet right this time. Big investment would have big output. This time, maybe the local box office could break even.

The movie cost was actually 6 million. As long as the box office exceeded 'Security,' it would almost break even. Overseas was all profit!

Their expectation was 17 or 18 million, and when the momentum of the movie rose, the power that erupted was something that even the creators couldn't imagine.

Magic City, evening.

When Zhu Lin returned home, she smelled the fragrance of food as soon as she entered.

She saw that there was not only Wei Ming in the kitchen, but also Gong Xue.

"Little Xue, you're back!"

Zhu Lin first gave Gong Xue a hug. Wei Ming wouldn't let go of this opportunity and also hugged her. The three people hugged into a group.

Then, Zhu Lin: "What's the smell?"

"Oh, my steak!" Wei Ming hurriedly turned off the fire. Fortunately, it was just a little burnt, and it could be scraped off.

Gong Xue laughed: "He insisted on making steak at home by himself."

Wei Ming sighed: "It won't be easy to go out for a big meal with you two in the future. I can only develop it at home by myself."

Zhu Lin: "What's difficult about this? Let's go to Red House tomorrow. I have a way to cover people's eyes."

Actually, it was very simple. Zhu Lin and Gong Xue went to eat first, and then Wei Ming came in. Look, hey, an acquaintance, let's share a table.

The clerk would definitely only think that South Gong Xue and North Zhu Lin had a strong relationship and were locked together. How could they think that Wei Ming was dating both of them at the same time? How big would that brain hole be?

After dinner, Gong Xue had to leave. Wei Ming was reluctant. They hadn't played landlord together yet.

But if she didn't leave now, it would be dark later. The public security in the Magic City was no better than in Beijing, and both were on the verge of collapse.

Zhu Lin was also reluctant to let her go. It was lively with many people: "Why are you still leaving? I'll take the first half of the night, and you take the second half. We three haven't gathered for a long time. You are such a big star, what should you do if you meet a little hooligan on the road."

Gong Xue bit her lip. How could such a discussion be in front of him? It was too shameful.

Finally, she gently spat out a sentence: "I want the first half of the night."

Zhu Lin: "Deal, I'll call my aunt now."

In Beijing, Tuanjiehu was considered Gong Xue by Zhu Lin's parents, and in the Magic City, this house was considered Zhu Lin by Gong Xue's parents.

Because Gong Xue returned to the Magic City last night and lived at home, this phone call had to be made. Mother Gong was easy to talk to. Her daughter was grown up and had her own social life.

Then the three went upstairs. Wei Ming took out—Flying Chess—in the master bedroom.

This was inherited from Melinda. Since then, Wei Ming had never shown it to anyone. He specifically turned it out and made some modifications to adapt to the three-person gameplay.

Seeing the punishment measures above, Gong Xue and Zhu Lin were terrified, but Zhu Lin was a bit eager to try. Gong Xue shyly wanted to go home to find her mother.

She glanced at the drawn curtains and suddenly felt sleepy.

Wei Ming took out three little people and a dice: "Let's start, good sisters, I'll give you a sample... five steps forward, the result is, kiss your opponent, is that one by one or together?"
