Chapter 172
Judging from the current situation, in fact, many reporters still want to ask more questions about Chen Xi, but it's a pity...

Now Chen Xi didn't want to answer the question anymore.

After so many questions, Chen Xi really felt that this group of people was exhausted and bombarded, including their various sharp questions. These guys came here entirely for their own news, and they would not think too much The question about movies...Of course, this is because Chen Xi's requirements are too high. After all, no matter what their profession is, their ultimate goal is just to make money. It's not that you want them to say something, Chen Xi can understand this.

In fact, many stars and directors still have to try their best to establish a good relationship with the media in the end, because if you can't do these things well, in your future life, even if you have already gained quite a good reputation and status, you will still be in trouble in the future. Sometimes it is still very difficult to communicate, and it is still expected to be hacked by the media...

Chen Xi is completely silent now, and no longer argues with these guys.

After the reporters shifted their focus to Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, Chen Xi felt that the pressure on him had been reduced a lot. In fact, when Chen Xi had nothing at first, his desire for fame was still great. I also hope that I can become famous and get more people's attention. It would be the best if I can be recognized by people when I walk casually on the street... But now that he really has some fame and even some fans, He may not care as much about these things as before. Although he still looks like he likes fame when he jokes, it's just a joke after all.

In fact, the most important thing about this celebration banquet is the banquet word, which means that after all, there will still be a banquet.

"Haha, Director Chen, it's finally the content of the banquet! It's always difficult to eat you for a penny, but now it's finally here." Now Xu Zheng came over to talk to Chen Xi with a playful smile.

Chen Xi became upset in an instant: "Hey, Mr. Xu, you have to speak conscientiously. In the crew, I gave you extra meals every day. Have you forgotten?"

Xu Zheng chuckled: "What extra meal? Is it a plate of cucumbers every day? This doesn't reflect your identity."

Chen Xi was helpless, this guy really made people feel quite uncomfortable.

At that moment, Chen Xi said: "Mr. Xu, filming cucumbers is also a dish, okay? It shows a director's respect for you."

... After the gag session is over, the next step is the formal celebration banquet. This celebration banquet is something that everyone is looking forward to. The dishes prepared by Chen Xi and the others can be said to be not bad, not bad. It's very luxurious, but it's not really bad. All in all, everything is relatively flat, and this is what Chen Xi is looking for now: stability!
Many times, some people think that a thing is more stable, and may even say this word with a little contempt. However, stability is also the pursuit of many people. After all, many people want stability but have not been able to get it.

This is the first celebration banquet that Chen Xi participated in, but in his head there are memories of many celebration banquets attended by that soul before, so this celebration banquet is not particularly unfamiliar to him. A celebration banquet is almost the same process, but now Chen Xi controls his drinking capacity, so although many people want to ask Chen Xi to drink on this day, they are basically used by Chen Xi with various methods. Reason to refuse.

Therefore, many of these guys think that Chen Xi is really boring and disappointing, and they can't find him for a drink... But for Chen Xi... don't care, what do you think What do you think, I really don't have time to drink with them, and now Chen Xi feels that she usually spends a lot of time on the set to cope with filming, and even only sleeps once or twice a day Hours, that's tiring enough, and physically damaging, and it's even worse if you add another alcoholism to it.

Since Chen Xi really decided to embark on such a path, he has the strongest control over many things, such as drinking... Originally, for people like Chen Xi and the others who used to have a lot of alcohol and joy For him, it was simply unexpected that he could quit... As a result, he still quit now.

However, today's celebration banquet is still different from that day's finale banquet after all. The finale banquet is an indulgent carnival that has finally come out after a long period of suffering, but the celebration banquet has to be performed in front of many people. Something about this movie.

The nature of the two is different, which also determines that today's celebration banquet cannot be truly HIGH.

In the evening, after the celebration banquet was basically over, Chen Xi also returned to his residence. Now that the headquarters of "Deep Space Film and Television" is located in Zhonghai, Chen Xi also has a fixed room in Zhonghai. Although the rented single apartment is not too big, the price is more than 4000 a month. This price is not cheap, mainly because there are many celebrities living in this community. There is a very good environment in terms of the surrounding contacts.

Zhonghai is also an economic and cultural center of China. Many things are relatively developed. This is why "Deep Space Film and Television" is located here. However, it is very likely that the future Deep Space Film and Television will still move to the capital... ...The capital city is the real national cultural center, everyone knows this.

Of course, these are all things for the future, and there is really no need to think too much now.

"Brother, what's the next plan?"

Xiao Ling is now talking to Chen Xi, because she is Chen Xi's assistant, and there are many things that need to be explained by Chen Xi and her in advance, and then she will make adjustments to the itinerary accordingly.

Xiao Ling is getting more and more familiar with these things.

However, this girl is really good at making friends, and now she is calling each other very kindly. Anyway, Chen Xi is slowly getting used to such titles, so now he directly replied to Xiao Ling and said: "The next arrangement ...Book me a ticket! I'm going home!"

"Ah? Are you going home?" Xiao Ling said, "I haven't heard you say this before."

Chen Xi smiled: "It's enough to hear about it now, remember to book tickets for me, I don't want to shoot "On the Journey" and I will also meet "On the Journey"."

"Of course!" Xiao Ling said with a smile, "I'm not those garbage employees in "On Journey"..."

Chen Xi planned to go home.

To be honest, Chen Xi is sometimes quite depressed. The work she is doing can almost be regarded as a freelance job. Basically, she does not have to work or anything, and she is the boss, so she can arrange her own life, but who would have thought that ?Now Chen Xi can only go home twice a year!
The point is that he was really too busy, especially during the period of filming "Raid" and "On the Journey", Chen Xi really didn't have any time left, and he was exhausted every day.

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Xi also intends to relax a bit, wait until the end of the year to talk about other things, and wait until the end of the year before deciding on the next movie and TV series he will shoot. These things will definitely need a process, he You have to take your time too...

In short, these things are really troublesome to talk about, but there is no way, they have to be the same.

"Do you want to go home?" Chen Xi said to Xiao Ling: "Anyway, I will go home for about a week."

Xiao Ling was pleasantly surprised: "You mean I can go home too?"

Chen Xi said: "It seems that you don't want to go back... Forget it, young people like you now, it is true that very few of you are more family-oriented."

Xiao Ling quickly grabbed Chen Xi's arm and sleeve: "Boss, let me go! Brother! I want to go home!"

Chen Xi smirked: "Why, go to my house? Meet my parents."

Xiao Ling winked: "That's great, I'll just wait for you to say this, I've always liked you so much."

"You think too much, I mean, you keep calling me brother by mouth, my parents must also see this new girl."

Xiao Ling was speechless for a while, Chen Xi shook her head and smiled: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I will grant you a week's leave, but the premise is that you have to get my affairs in order."

"Leader, make sure to complete the task!" Xiao Ling jokingly made a military salute gesture, pushing her chest far, far away.

...Chen Xi and the others have basically arranged all the company's holidays after a few meetings. Except for a few unlucky people who have to stay in the company during the New Year, most of the others can go home during the New Year, but How everyone got home... Chen Xi couldn't control this point himself, he could only care about how he got home: through the air ticket, anyway, Xiao Ling didn't dare not work hard.

"Going home soon! It's so exciting to think about this year!"

The night before going home, three good friends Chen Xi, Ye Dongnan and Ou Yangzhi gathered together in a room in Zhonghai. There were many skewers on the room. There are meat dishes.

It was Ye Dongnan who spoke before.

"Yeah! Chen Xi, this year really feels more fulfilling than many years before! Especially when we think of a company under our control... well, it should have suddenly developed to this state under your control, really It's incredible!" Ou Yangzhi also shook his head slightly and said, "Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming, I can't believe it."

Chen Xi also smiled and said, "Where was it you, I am the same."

While talking, he ate a bunch of mushrooms.

Ye Dongnan next to him couldn't see it: "Master Chen, are you really going to cut off all the ties of the world now? You don't keep the same rhythm with us at all!"

Chen Xi smiled and shook her head: "I also eat meat, but I eat a little less."

Ye Dongnan said: "I heard that if you are always a vegetarian, it will become worse and worse. Vegetarian animals are not very good..."

Chen Xi picked up the stick and threw it towards him: "Do you want to try it?"

Ye Dongnan showed some pity: "I would like to...but do you still have any?"

Chen Xi said: "Even if I don't have it for others, I definitely have it for you."

Ou Yangzhi commented coldly at the side: "Director Chen, it seems that you are a vegetarian, and you haven't eaten all the six roots... It feels almost the same as before."

...The three of them chatted nonsense for a while, just like before, free-spirited, unscrupulous, wanting to say something, and then, after drinking for three rounds, everyone started chatting about the next thing about Deep Space Film and Television.

"What do you plan to do next?" Ou Yangzhi asked Chen Xi: "From the perspective of our company's positioning, I feel that you also have great ambitions for overseas markets...but I always feel that it is difficult to have both."

Chen Xi shook her head slightly: "Content is king, something that really touches the depths of people's hearts, no matter how it is touched, it will always be liked by some people."

Ye Dongnan said: "However, now we feel that our films are released overseas. It seems that the box office is increasing, but the influence is declining, and those that can be released basically have a strong Hong Kong film gene. Are you going to How come?"

Chen Xi said: "I will continue to make martial arts films in the future! But I will use other actors to shoot. To be honest, I have thought a lot. Under the current environment, we want to make real movies in our country. To be able to output, we still have to rely on martial arts and action! This is our shining point."

"Cultural discounting is even more impossible to overcome by relying on slogans. Anyway, I think our film business, especially Hong Kong films, has been overcome with one punch and one kick. Now we repeat this thing!"

Chen Xi took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Of course, I think our main battlefield must still be set on the mainland. The future box office of the mainland will become more and more terrifying. I don't think it will take a few years. Our The box office market will exceed 100 billion, and by that time, we don’t have to spend all our time thinking about pleasing foreigners, we will be that rich ourselves!”

"I agree with this point." Ou Yangzhi nodded.

Ye Dongnan also hummed to express his agreement.

Chen Xi herself really thinks that if Chinese films want to overcome the problem of cultural discount, they can only start with kung fu and action for the time being... Cultural discount, to put it bluntly, is a country's cultural genes, and after arriving in other countries, it will Because of differences in living customs, culture, concepts, etc., they will become incomprehensible, so good things are not considered good by others.

And what can break through cultural discounts are universal values, things that really touch human nature, and things that people can enjoy.

Martial arts is obviously a kind of visual stimulation, something that avoids cultural discounts!
