Since 1983

January in Los Angeles is relatively cold, with a large temperature difference between day and night.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun had already risen, and was blocked by thick curtains, shining a dim light outside.

Get up lightly. Go downstairs to make a cup of espresso, and sit in a chair in a daze.

To be honest, Mr. Xu, who has been a man for two lifetimes and is proud of his life, is really not very keen on that matter. Realizing greater and greater self-worth is his primary goal.

"Sigh, luckily I wasn't corrupted by the capitalist girls..."

Xu Fei shook his head, opened the refrigerator and found nothing, so he had to make oatmeal milk and left a few slices of bread.

Xiao Mo has already passed away, the huge villa is empty, and every shout echoes: "Eat-eat-eat-eat-eat-eat!"

Not long after, the two came down wrapped in nightgowns.

Lazy and satisfied, slim and pretty, with white thighs.

Over the age of 30, pampered and pampered, it is inevitable to gain weight. Xiaoxu is lazy, in order to let her exercise, the method is to force + laugh, often cry in anger, and exercise while crying.

This will be slim and healthy, free from disease and disaster.

His appetite is always good, and he ate the oatmeal with relish. He asked, "What time is it in China?"

"It's almost 15 hours in China, it should be New Year's Eve."

"Then when we celebrate New Year's Eve, they will arrive tomorrow..."

She thought about it, and then asked, "Can I watch the Spring Festival Gala?"

"If the central 4 satellite rebroadcasts, I can watch it tonight." Xu Fei is not quite sure.

I don’t remember anything about the Spring Festival Gala in 1998. There was a song called “Meeting in 98” sung by Charlotte, and Chen Xiaoer’s curtain call “The Prince and the Postman”.

At that time, it was said that Chen Xiaoer's talent was exhausted, and it was not as good-looking as the previous sketches. When it was over, they filed a lawsuit with CCTV and were blocked.

But look at it in twenty years, two words: awesome!

"Apologize!"

"What kind of apology do you want?"

"This is called saving face for Mr. Yang."

At that time, I didn't seem to have this awareness. When I saw a foreigner, ouch, it seemed that I should give convenience to them. It was different later on, and later on many people didn’t think so.

After eating, Xiao Mo rolled over on time.

Driving that second-hand Chevrolet, head to Chinatown in Los Angeles first. On the north side of Sunset Boulevard, it has a long history. There were Chinese living there in 1850.

The car stopped at the intersection and looked into the street.

The lights are red and colorful, there is joy, there are firecrackers, lion dancers, Cantonese, Hakka, Chaoshan dialect, etc., and the elderly and children are noisy.

Xiao Xu felt noisy and said, "Let's go, I don't want to go in."

"Then go to the supermarket and I'll buy whatever you need," Xu Fei said.

"See if there is Pixian bean paste." Zhang Li said.

So act separately.

He wandered around Chinatown, but found nothing, only bought a kind of Puning bean paste. When I met Zhang Li later, she only bought chili sauce.

Can not be done!

The national quintessence products have not entered the overseas market yet, and I don’t think there are any old godmothers with 16 million.

After not much effort, Xiao Mo got out of the house automatically when he returned to the villa.

They also bought flour, vegetables, beef, etc., but there was pork, so they didn't buy it after thinking about it, and planned to make dumplings stuffed with beef.

The villa has two floors, and there is a small garden outside, which is usually taken care of by the housekeeping company. The two of them liked the garden, but they didn't do it. This is a habit.

Pay attention to inner wealth and don't like to be looked at by others.

I feel that there are people coming and going outside, so it's not good to plant flowers with your buttocks there.

This New Year's Eve is rare and quiet, and there is no atmosphere around. Take a nap in the afternoon, get up to work in the evening, and set up a table of dishes.

For old couples, they raised their glasses at the same time and touched one first.

For red wine, dumplings and beef stew.

"Hey, we've been together for nine years, right?" Xu Fei said.

"Where did you count?"

"It's counted from 1989."

"Is there any allusion?" Zhang Li was puzzled.

"You two moved out, and then you went to Wuxi to film a movie, and we, the lonely man and the widow, went to sleep."

"Bah, bah, bah! Who is with you, you are the one who bullied me!" Xiao Xu was anxious.

"Oh↗↘"

Zhang Li said in a long voice, "Then it's your 9th anniversary, and I slept in the next year."

"..."

Xiao Xu's eyes widened, "What are you talking about, pornographic songs?"

"Let me tell you, the two of us are young and ignorant, if we still fall in love with him now? Hmph!"

It was rare for Zhang Li to become arrogant.

After laughing a bit, she said: "Dream of Red Mansions aired for the 10th anniversary last year, I wanted to gather with everyone, just like the 5th anniversary.

After thinking about it, it’s like the old classmates growing up independently, some are better, some are worse. I'm interested in getting together, so maybe others think we're cool. "

"That's the reason, but I really want to get together."

Xiao Xu sighed: "These years have passed in a flash, and the older I get, the more I miss those days. It was so good to be carefree. Oh, yes, I heard from Deng Jie that Teacher Zhou Ling is very good now."

"What is he doing?"

"He went to Qiong Province to speculate in real estate, and then went to Canada to engage in the energy industry. He has a listed company in Hong Kong called Xinkang Hailian."

Xinkang Hailian was later Nanhai Petroleum.

"Hong Kong? That's over, the stock has fallen like shit...but it will definitely recover!"

Teacher Zhou Ling is quite prestigious, and the two looked unhappy, so Xu Fei quickly changed his words: "Then let's get in touch more, the relationship is most afraid of less contact, you and Tanchunxichun Miaoyu Baoyu, haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

"It's been a long time."

"Let me do the math. In 1983, "Dream of Red Mansions" was set up, and in 2003, it was 20 years. In this way, for the 20th anniversary, let's come to the next big one, and we have all of them. We will also invite Mr. Dai."

"Well, that's a good idea."

The two readily agreed.

Teacher Xu's thoughts drifted away, thinking of the 20th anniversary gathering of "Dream of Red Mansions" in "Art Life". It was the most complete one, but Baochai, Qingwen, Yuanchun and others were still absent.

If you really want to do it, it should be more complete.

Yo!

He made a sudden movement. It would be his 20th anniversary by then.

…………

Mr. Xu disappeared for several days, and Jerry only thought that he had gone to an oriental festival.

But when he reappeared, he would hold his waist from time to time, which made him deeply doubt about the oriental festival.

Just after the Spring Festival, "American Pie", which was filmed for over a month, wrapped up.

Jerry was not happy at all, and came to look for it gloomy: "Boss, it's time for us to consider publishing. Brother Weitz knows a small publisher and can introduce us to it.

Or go to the Toronto Film Festival, where there are a lot of buyers, we can try our luck. "

"You're too pessimistic, man, you don't have to be."

"So what? Oh, you want to work with Lionsgate?

With all due respect, maybe they have sincerity at the beginning, but when they find that we are not worth mentioning, they will swallow us unceremoniously like those big factories. "

"Hahaha, your thinking has improved. Even if I leave temporarily, I can rest assured."

Xu Fei waved his hand, interrupted the other party, and said, "I will buy a distribution company."

"What?"

Jerry looked shocked, "Boss, you're not kidding, are you?"

"My team has been looking for targets and has recently been operating in depth. Oh, don't put on that face, it's just a small and medium-sized company with no copyright in hand."

He scratched the table with his fingers, and said, "The six-layer distribution network, we'll get the first and sixth layers done first, and we'll talk about it after we survive."

"The sixth floor, derivatives?"

"In the name of cactus, I will give some orders to Hong Kong to make American style cultural T-shirts and toys. What do you think?"

Then Hong Kong immediately wrapped the order to Elaine...

Jerry didn't know about these things, and was just pleasantly surprised: "Boss, I don't know what to say. I, I..."

"Okay, okay, I have something important over there, I'm going back soon, I'll leave it to you here.

Don't worry, do one and understand the other. Wait for the funds from "American Pie" to come back, and then start "Chain Saw". If there is enough money, there will be another "American Pie 2". "

"Understood, I must protect the cactus!"

The distribution company acquired by Lions Gate has many famous copyrights and spent 100 million US dollars. The one Xu Fei was aiming at was mediocre, but the asking price was 40 million.

It has been 1998, and his pocket money has been credited to his account one after another. Without this money, he would not dare to waste time in Hollywood.

But this time back, it was a big news announced by the government:

The TV network government management function of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television was merged into the newly established Ministry of Information Industry. The Ministry of Radio, Film and Television was reorganized into the General Administration, which was listed as an institution directly under the State Council.

Leader Tian, ​​who had been idle for two years, returned to serve as the director.
