Chapter 929 925 Date
Chapter 929
"The box office on the third day of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons": 85.32 million."
Huh?
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.
Isn't it about to surpass the record of "囧囧"?
Early in the morning on the 13th, Xu Xin looked at the messages on his phone, squinted his eyes and took a puff of cigarette.
A long stream of smoke was blown out in the cold wind.
This made Lang Langxun next to him confused. He vaguely felt that he had seen too many breasts.
He quickly took a step back, jumped on his feet and cursed:
"I'm so convinced! Brother, are you sick? If you don't go to eat your breakfast and then participate in your promotional activities, why are you following me out? Can you have some quality? Can you avoid people by smoking? !”
Xu Xin, who was smoking a cigarette, glanced at him and closed his phone:
"The young man is very angry."
"Get out!"
Angrily, Lang Lang was about to kick, but Xu Xin quickly gave in:
"Look at you, why are you so anxious? I'm getting more and more annoyed every day."
"Why are you pretending to be from Shandong!"
Lang Lang, who became increasingly speechless, sighed helplessly:
"Brother, what are you going to do? Can you please stop torturing me? This is not a date..."
Hearing this, Xu Gou looked nonchalant and even picked his nose:
"Aren't you dressed like a dog on a date?"
"Your wife didn't pick this!"
Lang Lang was really furious now.
How the hell did I find out before that you, bastard, are so damaging!
"My wife has a really good taste."
In an instant, Lang Lang felt his blood pressure rise suddenly!
"Your wife has great eyesight? Your wife is just like a blind person! If only she had better eyesight and wasn't so blind, she would be able to find this piece of shit like you!"
"Bounce! Bounce! You scold each other! Bounce!"
Xu Xin pretended that he couldn't hear it and continued to pick his nose.
The worst thing to do is tell her this in a while... Oh yes, Liu Zhishi must also be added.
Then say:
"Old Wolf said that if you have better eyesight, you are not as blind as the blind sister..."
Um.
Just perfect.
"Bounce again!"
"Anti-rebound!"
“Bounce back and bounce back!”
And just when the childish behavior of the two young men was fermenting in the early morning, a very ordinary Volkswagen POLO came to the two of them with double flashes.
Gina suddenly appeared from the main driving direction with her hair in a bun and wearing... From a man's point of view, the styles of black woolen coats were all the same.
"Hey, good morning...Sorry I'm late. What are you doing?"
"Morning...I'm waiting for you to pick me up. As for him...I don't know why he is here."
Following Lang Lang's words, Xu Xin instantly noticed a very strange look.
He met this gaze and said with a smile:
"Gina, can I ask you a favor?"
Gina's eyes faded slightly and she nodded:
"Okay, Xu, just say it."
"Tomorrow isn't Valentine's Day. You have a car, which is more convenient. Can you help me choose a gift from a female perspective? I want to give it to my wife, and I will ask him to bring it to me when the time comes."
"..."
Lang Lang's mouth twitched.
He originally planned to finish it in the morning.
You bitch actually...
But in fact, he really misunderstood Xu Xin.
For Valentine's Day, the things he has given to Yang Mi over the years have basically never been seen at home.
Maybe it was a matter of taste. The perfumes and lipsticks he gave were all in a mess, but Yang Mi couldn't look down on any of them.
Especially in 2010, on Valentine's Day, he specially found a shop on Taobao that made "rice grain" carvings. It means that two people's names can be engraved on the rice grains.
Finally, the rice grains were made into a small pendant and given to Yang Mi as a gift.
He thought it was quite romantic.
But the gift was received in the morning and put into the rice cooker in the afternoon.
This makes Xu Xin so angry...
Therefore, this Valentine's Day, he plans to seek help from the sidelines. This happened to be in Berlin, and he was unfamiliar with the place, so he thought about asking Gina to take a look.
Berlin local snake.
Otherwise, how could he not go to breakfast when he was hungry so early in the morning and block the door of the old wolf's room first?
Not so mean.
But seeing the old wolf jumping around and swearing because he was shy, he felt quite happy.
As for Gina…
After all, the little girl's thoughts are simpler.
I was actually a little happy to hear that this was the case.
Nod directly:
"Okay, Xu, then we can go to Bodhi Tree Street in the afternoon to show you."
"..."
Lang Lang's mouth twitched again.
"Thank you."
Xu Xin nodded with a smile, turned to Lang Lang and said:
"It doesn't matter whether you are high or low, as long as she likes it. You can figure it out."
After speaking, he looked at Gina again:
"Then go ahead, bye, and have a nice day."
"Okay. BYE~"
Gina smiled and waved to Xu Xin, then said:
"Then let's go too?"
"good."
Lang Lang responded and got into the passenger seat of POLO.
As soon as I got in the car I heard:
"I thought you would bring an assistant."
"No, he didn't come with me. It's the Chinese New Year, so I just gave him a day off to rest."
"……ah?"
Gina started the car and asked in surprise:
"Then who will take care of you here?"
"Why should we be taken care of?"
Lang Lang asked back.
"But...what do you do when you lift heavy objects, such as luggage?"
"Just lift it yourself. No matter what, it won't be so fragile."
He couldn't help but be happy.
"Besides, my friends can also help me with these little favors, it's okay."
He really wasn't lying. When he came, Shishi helped him carry his luggage.
Not even lifting it, even when getting the boarding pass, putting it on the conveyor belt, and taking it off after getting off the plane, it didn't pass through his hands.
Although he didn't think too much about it, in fact, over the years, people like Yang Mi and Xu Xin had become accustomed to protecting his hands worth hundreds of millions.
Even he himself is used to it.
"That won't work. There will be hidden dangers if this continues."
"Ha, it's not that fragile. And this time I only packed some clothes, which are not heavy."
"No, if you do this, the teacher will definitely be angry if he finds out."
"Well……"
At this time, Lang Lang couldn't refute.
because……
To be honest, if it weren't for the teacher's right hand being injured in an accident, his achievements would definitely be much higher than what he is now.
Therefore, teachers value the protection of their hands the most.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gina said:
"Then when you leave this time, I can ask my dad to help!"
"Don't……"
"Lang! You can't joke about this kind of thing!"
"No, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that if I leave this time, I will be with my friends. They will help me."
When talking about this, Lang Lang suddenly remembered the anger he had suffered this morning.
Suddenly asked:
"Can the store on Linden Street do delivery?"
"I don't know about that. What?"
"We can't carry anything, so I'm thinking about what to do."
"I can ask my dad to come. We chatted last night, and he asked me to invite you to my home. He hasn't seen you for many years."
"Well……"
Although he knew that if he really called Gina's father, he would probably not run away at night, let alone at noon.
But when I thought about being able to trick that big grudge, I suddenly felt comfortable again.
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't seen Jorgen for a long time...it's been many years."
Jürgen Redlinger (Note 1), Gina’s father.
The two have known each other for many years.
In fact, I can't say that they knew each other. It should be said that Lang Lang participated in a German music and culture promotion program. The director of this program at that time was Gina's father.
However, there was no special communication between the two.
On the one hand, I was only in my early twenties at that time, so why should I be friends with a middle-aged man? On the other hand, he was just an invited guest.
But after that, he still invited Jorgen to participate in his performance in Berlin.
But that was his first performance as a disciple of Grafmann in the Berlin Konzerthaus. The invitation list was not actually drawn up by him.
Therefore, the two of them had little interaction.
Jorgen came at the invitation, and also brought Gina, who was still a child at the time.
But that's all.
And this fate was mentioned by Gina herself at the dinner table yesterday.
Hearing his emotion, Gina smiled and said:
"Dad also wants to meet you."
"That's okay. But we'd better buy everything and take it together when the time comes..."
"..."
Gina was stunned for a moment, a little surprised:
"Are you going to buy a lot of gifts?"
For some reason, there was suddenly a hint of loss in the girl's eyes.
But Lang Lang didn't see it, and instead laughed:
"Hahaha, yes, I need to buy a lot!"
"..."
The young female pianist's hands subconsciously tightened the steering wheel.
"Are you going to...give it to a lot of people?"
"No, just give it to one. Didn't you listen to what he said? Yang is very picky. What if Yang doesn't like the gift we bought?"
"...?"
Gina was suddenly stunned again.
"WHAT?"
But Lang Lang shrugged his shoulders and gritted his teeth with a look like "Thief Sun, I'm going to kill you today":
"So, let's buy more, buy more! Buy more! Send it all to him! Use quantity to make up for quality! Let Yang feel his heart!!!"
"..."
Gina was stunned.
Something came to mind.
Understood something.
Then……
"Pfft... Haha, you might be angry if you do this, right?"
"If he's not angry, I won't do it yet! ... Why don't we go to Linden Street? Do you know where in Berlin they sell expensive things? ... Expensive and useless!"
"..."
This time, Gina was really questioned.
Expensive and useless?
What could be expensive and useless?
But she still had a bigger doubt:
"Isn't your relationship very good?"
"Okay, we're best friends."
"Then why did you..."
"This is the punishment for a scumbag who doesn't even prepare a Valentine's Day gift for his wife!"
"Well……"
Gina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud:
"Haha, your relationship is so strange."
"Ha~"
Lang Lang was also happy.
While having fun, he rubbed his hands.
No way, it's itchy.
He wanted to see the dog-headed expression when he handed an expensive and useless thing to Lao Xu and told him "This is a Valentine's Day gift for Da Mi".
From last night, you barked in my ear until just now...
Today, I won't let Da Mi throw you into the world-leading sewer in Germany?
But when Gina saw his rubbing hands, she was suddenly stunned.
Just opened her mouth to say something, but immediately kept silent.
Only her big eyes began to roll around.
...
Gina grew up in Germany, and she is so familiar with this city.
Let alone a restaurant for eating BRUNCH, Lang Lang didn't know it.
Not to mention, this place is not far from the Capitol.
When Gina came, she made many recommendations to Lang Lang, and Lang Lang was also familiar with Germany, so the two of them quickly ordered the dishes.
But... I have to admit.
His face is obviously not as famous as his reputation.
Sitting in a full restaurant with a swagger, no one recognized him.
Just as the waiter put away the menu and left, Gina looked at Lang Lang and covered one corner of her mouth with her hand.
"What's wrong?"
Lang Lang looked puzzled.
Then he saw the girl leaning forward and said:
"Look at your phone."
"?"
Lang Lang looked at the girl who also picked up the phone blankly, not knowing what she was doing.
Then he received a message from the other party:
"The people at the table next to us are talking about Xu's movie."
"...? Which side?"
"On the left hand side."
Lang Lang glanced obscurely and found that it was a slightly fat middle-aged man, and a middle-aged woman who was about the same age as the man was sitting opposite.
The two were eating and chatting.
But Lang Lang didn't understand German... or rather, he could understand a little bit of written language, but he really didn't understand pure spoken conversation.
After taking a look, he took out his phone and replied:
"What are they talking about?"
Then he saw Gina start typing along with the sound of the two people chatting.
Then, a long message came:
"They were chatting when we just sat down. The man said he wanted to watch "The Burning Sun" again, but the woman thought it was unnecessary. She said he had watched it three times, so why not choose another movie. The man said the movie was very interesting, and he liked Xu's behavior of putting the audience into a game. It was amazing. Moreover, for some reason, he could not forget some scenes in the movie, and felt that each of Xu's shots had a special purpose. Watching his movies was like appreciating a work of art. There are many works of art, but he has found his favorite "one" in this film festival."
"..."
After reading this text carefully, Lang Lang copied it directly, opened WeChat and sent it to the dog.
Then he nodded and put down the phone.
Asked in a low voice:
"Did you go to the film festival?"
"No."
Gina also put down her phone and shook her head slightly:
"I'm not a particularly die-hard fan of movies. But I noticed that the media and newspapers are full of news about the film festival these days. Among them, Xu's works are indeed the most watched. In the media and on the Internet, everyone has praised his movies. I even saw a news article titled "Chinese movies are conquering Berlin."
"Have you seen his works?"
"No."
She told Lang Lang very bluntly:
"Very rarely. I actually practice the piano most of the time. In fact... To be honest, I still know from... you that you have a very good relationship with him and the other two people."
"Yes, the four of us are best friends... Have you heard JAY's songs?"
"No."
"Uh..."
Lang Lang opened his mouth and was a little speechless for a while.
I thought to myself, how can we talk about this?
How... is the generation gap so deep at the age of 12?
He didn't even plan to ask Lao Wang.
What can Lao Wang ask?
What can he do...
"But I know Wang has a lot of money."
"..."
The corners of Lang Lang's mouth suddenly began to twitch uncontrollably.
Then the girl said:
"I know you went to Switzerland together, and then he kissed an actress at the station, exposing their relationship!"
"..."
For no reason, Lang Lang wanted to cover his face.
Because he couldn't hold back his laughter and absurdity.
You know nothing about Lao Xu and Lun Zi, but Lao Wang...
"How do you know him so well?"
"Because he is also very famous in Korea. Oh, yes... I first knew Xu from that movie. "Secret", but... I haven't seen it. When it was released, I was only 12 years old, and most of my life was practicing piano. And it was not released in Germany.
But Wang is different. He is very famous in Korea. I know that the "Voice of China" you participated in was produced by his company. The current "Voice of Germany" and "Voice of Korea" are adapted from his programs.
He also bought the copyright of "I Am a Singer" and "RUNNIGMAN".
When he is mentioned, the Korean Internet says that he is the only son of a chaebol who is best at business. Moreover, he is very loyal. It is said that he was cheated by a woman before, but he never lost his vision of love.
After he got together with that actress sister, there has never been any gossip. He is very popular in Korea. "
After all, he is of German and Korean descent, so Lang Lang is not surprised that Gina is familiar with things in Korea.
It's just that...
"I have to correct you."
"Um, what?"
The girl's big eyes staring at him made him subconsciously avoid her gaze.
After pretending to drink lemonade and picking up the cup, he said:
"The program "The Voice" you just mentioned was actually Xu's idea."
"...?"
Gina was stunned.
Lang Lang nodded slightly:
"Yes, he came up with the idea. He gave it to Wang to do. And "I Am a Singer" was also bought by Wang after he went to Korea and found this program. He thought it was good and asked Wang to buy it. Of course, the program "RUNNIGMAN" was just bought casually. "
"...All Xu's idea?"
Facing Gina's surprised eyes, Lang Lang responded:
"Yes."
"...Is he so awesome? I just know that he is very good at making movies, very good, and the best director in Venice. But I didn't expect...he would be so business-minded? "
"That's not right."
Gina's words were denied by Lang Lang again:
"Xu actually doesn't have a business mind. Or rather, he doesn't care whether he has a business mind or not. Just like you said, as a friend, I know him very well. You are right, he is a director who is very good at making movies. But do you know what I think of him?"
"What?"
"The world, to him, is a movie."
"......?"
Perhaps it was because the meaning of his words was described based on Chinese expressions.
Gina's eyes clearly showed a hint of confusion.
Understanding what he meant by this.
"Are you...saying that he is not interested in anything other than making movies? Even if he has a good eye?"
"No, of course not."
Looking at the backs of the two people who had just discussed Lao Xu's movies and got up and left, Lang Lang explained:
"Didn't you just say that he is very good at making movies and is very good at making movies? What I want to say is that the world is actually a movie for him. He is not an actor, but a director. A very good director. Just like the film "The Burning Sun" which has received rave reviews in Berlin. Any extraordinary and unexpected things he did in this "movie" are reasonable for a particularly good director...or genius. Because the world is just a movie. Do you understand what I mean when I say this?"
Does Gina understand?
Of course.
He means that as long as Xu wants, he can do anything very well. Nothing he does is surprising.
"What about JAY and Wang?"
"Both of them? They are both geniuses...Actually, I suggest you take a look at Xu's works and listen to JAY's songs...Wang, after all, you know almost everything. I believe you won't be disappointed."
Gina nodded slightly to this suggestion. No matter whether it was sincere or false, at least she agreed.
But then she asked curiously:
"What about Yang?"
"Yang is different. Yang is more like our mother. ”
“…”
Gina’s eyes widened immediately:
“What? Your…what?”
Lang Lang said with a smile:
“Mom. Mother Yang of the four of us.”
“…Does Xu count as one of them?”
“Of course…Oh no, he can’t count.”
“Because he’s her husband.”
“No, because he’s a rebellious son.”
“…”
Gina’s mouth twitched…
Looking at her fellow senior brother who said “I’m serious”. She didn’t know if she inherited the German’s rigor or didn’t really understand the meaning of this, she was speechless.
I couldn’t help asking:
“I can’t imagine how you two became friends. It feels so confusing…”
“Don’t mention it. Alas…”
Lang Lang sighed:
“That’s really a bad fate. Do you want to hear it? Let me tell you about it?”
“Okay! "
The girl's sparkling eyes were always locked on him.
She replied with a bright smile.
(Note 1: I guess I am the first person on the Internet who knows the name of Gina's father. Jurgen Redlinger. I couldn't find it on the Internet. I suddenly remembered that Lang Lang and his father-in-law had filmed a video together. I thought there must be a name for the father-in-law, right? So I went to find the original video and listened to it several times. I was sure that Lang Lang called his father-in-law: Jurgen. Then I combined it with Gina's last name, and it should be this name. I don't know the middle name, but it doesn't matter.)
In addition, the Berlin Film Festival In fact, from the perspective of "The Burning Sun", it starts from here. The main reason is that I wrote it twice in Cannes and twice in Venice, and the process is somewhat biased towards the rhythm of "what netizens say". It is always the rhythm of screening-good reviews-netizen comments-domestic comments. I can't build up the emotional rhythm of these two people through a certain movie and timeline like Qi Ge and Lao Wang. I don't want to write a plot with serious homogeneity, so this time I chose the perspective of the two people's "dating", and described this Berlin story through the eyes of someone who has not seen the movie and does not know Xu Xin.
The overall story of Berlin is actually three stages. The first stage is the Hollywood line introduced by "Perfect", and the second is the emotional development of Lao Lang. To be honest, MIUMIU is not that bad. At least she is really good to Lang Lang. The reason for their separation is mostly due to their parents. But for the sake of the plot, I made her such a person, and I feel guilty. So I buried the WeChat business line. There may be a sentence or two about her successful career in the later text. At least she doesn't have to have plastic surgery like now. The last stage is the one that is about to begin. From the perspective of an "amateur".
The story has progressed to the current number of words, and I tried my best to reduce the burden. But 2013 is indeed a relatively important year, so there will be more words, not intentionally, please forgive me.
