You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

"Can one drama have two male leads?"

Xu Yi asked back.

Li Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately offered Xu Yi another glass of wine: "Boss, you always do things openly. I'll drink this one, you can do whatever you want."

Using Li Xun as the protagonist of Wolf Warriors is actually risky.

After all, Li Xun had no decent masterpieces on the big screen before.

Even if "Operation Red Sea" can be a hit during the Spring Festival, the male lead is Zhang Feng and Li Xun plays the sniper observer, and their performance is not particularly eye-catching.

Therefore, if Li Xun is chosen as the leading actor, the box office risk is half.

Xu Yi naturally had his own considerations in doing this.

He wants to promote Li Xun, and let Li Xun play the male lead sooner or later. Instead of starting from a supporting role step by step and spending more than ten years, it would be better to go straight to the ceiling.

If one doesn't work, try another.

If three movies are not enough, it means that Li Xun is not destined to become a hit.

Things in the entertainment industry are sometimes very mysterious.

Some people came here just to make a splash, but ended up becoming extremely popular.

Some people, no matter how much support they have from the capital behind them or how they hire big names and superstars to support them, they just can’t become popular.

Xu Yi drank half of the wine, then put down the cup and said:

"But first, let's talk about it. This is the first movie that the company has invested in, and the budget is limited. The salary I'll give you won't be too high."

"That doesn't matter."

Li Xun had no objection: "If it doesn't work out, I'll star in it for zero pay, but you have to take care of my food and drink for a year."

Xu Yi thought about it seriously, nodded and said:
"That's okay, the lunch box will suffice."

Li Xun naturally refused: "I will eat whatever you eat. If you can eat box lunches for a year, I will accompany you."

The two brothers chatted about this and that, but on this special evening, neither of them mentioned watching the Spring Festival Gala, because the Gala was also organized by the China Media Group.

Besides, the Spring Festival Gala is really not interesting.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them were a little tipsy.

Li Xun somehow brought the topic to the female artist:

"Boss, to be honest, there is really no possibility for you and Meng Xiling to develop at all?"

Xu Yi said seriously: "Old Li, you can ruin my reputation, but don't ruin the reputation of other girls. What do you mean, Meng Xiling and I are just ordinary friends? We don't even eat together. After dinner.”

Hearing this, Li Xun sighed.

Then he said with full regret:

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"I can tell that Meng Xiling actually has some thoughts about you. When we were filming the sports meeting, she took the initiative to post you, but unfortunately you didn't call."

"If someone puts a hot face on a cold butt, they will naturally not stick to it again."

"Boss, do you like men?"

Meng Xiling's appearance and figure are among the best in the entertainment industry.

This child is the white moonlight in many men’s hearts!
Why does it not work when we get to Xu Yi?

Xu Yi laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, I just don't want to fall in love. I think it's better to be more prudent with money. When I earn enough money for retirement, I can have a good relationship again!"

"How much does it cost to retire?" Li Xun asked casually.

Xu Yi stretched out a finger and fell asleep on the table before speaking.

Li Xun shook his head and said strangely:
"A million?"

"One million is not difficult for you, right?"

Then he also lay down on the table, and slowly began to snore evenly.

……

Silent all night.

The New Year's bell rang, and the bright sounds of fireworks began to sound from all directions. Xu Yi seemed to have had a long dream. In the dream, he also set off fireworks in his previous life. The whole family stood under the eaves, watching the brilliance in the night sky, and no one spoke.

But suddenly, it seemed like a firework was stuck in the void.

It twisted into an inexplicable space-time passage. When he woke up again, people were already sitting in the courtyard.

"It's a new year!"

Xu Yi walked out of the eaves and saw that the heavy snow that had fallen all day had eased a bit.

The snowman in the yard also had a thin layer of snow on his red scarf.

Outside the yard, fireworks were rising one after another, lighting up the sky.

These dazzling lights rising high are people’s hopes for the new year. All the unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and unlucky moments in the past seemed to be disappeared in the fireworks.

Li Xun was still lying on the table, snoring steadily.

Tonight, he drank a lot. When Xu Yi took a sip, Li Xun drank it all.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m greedy for drinking, or if I have something on my mind.

However, even if you are worried, you may still be in your dream and let your worries pass away together with tonight's fireworks.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The day of New Year greetings.

Because there is a custom of not traveling far away on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Yi didn't plan to visit his friends, but just said New Year's greetings on the phone.

Of course, many people also called Xu Yi to wish him a happy New Year.

Yao Meng is the first.

At nine o'clock in the morning, while Xu Yi was still asleep, Yao Meng's call came in:

"Happy New Year, boss!"

"I wish you a fortune next year!"

Xu Yi: "Oh, Happy New Year, you too~"

After hanging up the phone from Yao Meng, Xu Yi finally woke up. He shouted towards another room: "Old Li! Old Li!"

no respond.

Li Xun slept harder than Xu Yi.

As for how the two of them slept in separate beds last night, Xu Yi didn't remember.

But one thing is unmistakable, Li Xun must have helped him in.

This kid is so drunk that he can still crawl into bed by himself?

impossible.

He got up from the bed, walked to the room next to him, and kicked Li Xun awake: "Old Li, I wish you a happy new year. Get up quickly and prepare a red envelope for me!"

Li Xun said sleepily: "Huh?"

"Fuck...don't say bad words. You have to be gentler on New Year's Day." After Li Xun came to his senses, he said directly: "Boss, if you don't show your conscience, I have nowhere to go. I'm staying at your house, and you still want to Shall I prepare a red envelope for you?”

Xu Yi: "Just tell me, are you ready?"

Upon seeing this, Li Xun compromised directly:
"Okay, I'm looking for good luck on New Year's Day and I'll prepare it for you right away."

Soon, Li Xun prepared a hundred-yuan red envelope, and then called Xu Yi over: "Boss, come over to say New Year greetings, and say a few nice words by the way. If you don't say nice things, I won't give you this red envelope!"

Xu Yi was very eloquent. He immediately used idioms and said a series of auspicious words from one to ten. Li Xun was quite satisfied and handed over the red envelope:

"Boss is so obedient. This is for you."

When Xu Yi opened the red envelope and took a look, he almost cursed. He also took out a red envelope from his pocket, and then said: "It makes sense, a hundred percent blessing has a good meaning, I have nothing to say about this ten thousand, I will give it to you when I draw out nine thousand nine hundred." "

As soon as he finished speaking, the red envelope in his hand was snatched away by Li Xun.

Just listen to Li Xun smile and say:
"The meaning of ten thousand is better, it means everything goes well!"

"How brave, please give me all the best~" Xu Yi pretended to give chase, but Li Xun had already disappeared.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Another important thing is that "Operation Red Sea" is officially launched in theaters nationwide on the first day of release! At the same time, there are seven other movies also competing for the Lunar New Year slot.

Among them, four are known as big productions, including Red Sea.

Of course, animated movies are a regular program every year, and one will definitely appear in the Lunar New Year festival.

Xu Yi checked the tickets specifically and found that there were still many tickets for the afternoon show, so he bought two. Then he called Chu Ningning: "Director Chu, have a great New Year!"
-
"Happy New Year! Are you celebrating the New Year in the capital this year?"

"Yes. No, it's too boring to be alone. I want to ask Director Chu, do you have time to watch a movie in the afternoon?" This is what Xu Yi had promised before, to invite Chu Ningning to watch "Operation Red Sea" , otherwise, he would not have rashly asked Chu Ningning.

It seems a bit ambiguous.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ningning agreed:
"sure!"

"Send me the time and location, and I'll see you then."

Is this girl also very free?

It stands to reason that the Chu family should have many relationships with each other.

Just when Xu Yi was stunned, Li Xun came up and asked thiefly: "Boss, there's something going on! Judging from your nymphomaniac look on the phone just now, I can be sure that there must be a woman on the other end of the phone. Child?"

Xu Yi didn't care: "So?"

Li Xun immediately started his analysis and said:
"You even made an appointment to watch a movie?"

"So, are you pursuing the other person? Who is it, Director Chu? Is this a nickname between you two? Boss, you have to be careful, don't get photographed by the paparazzi."

"Otherwise, how many innocent girls will have their hearts broken!"

Xu Yi smiled half-heartedly, looked at Li Xun and said, "Do you want to go together?"

When Li Xun heard this, his spirits shrank:
"Boss, you need a wingman, right?"

"It's right to choose me. I'm not very good at picking up girls by myself. But as a wingman, I'm definitely qualified and outstanding!"

Li Xun was eager to try.

That's how it is when it comes to falling in love, you always look forward and backward when talking to yourself. But watching others talk about it is very exciting.

Xu Yi sighed and said:

"Forget it, I won't take you with me anymore."

"No, boss!" The chivalrous spirit in Li Xun's heart was aroused. He wanted to create a marriage no matter what. How could he die before he left the army? "Boss, please take me with you. I will never mess around."

Xu Yi shook his head and firmly refused:

"I'm not afraid of you messing around, I'm afraid of you coming."

"To tell you the truth, the person I asked out this time is a bit special. Of course, it's not that I want to pursue her, it's mainly to return a favor. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

When the scandal broke out between Xu Yi and the headquarters, Li Xun was still in the army and was not very clear about the matter.

Even though I later heard some from Fat Orange and the others, they were just fragments of words.

Xu Yi's courage at that time was admirable, but his situation was also embarrassing.

If it weren't for Chu Ningning's intervention, Xu Yi would have been banned by the TV industry. This matter is almost certain.

Therefore, Xu Yi accepted a huge favor from Chu Ningning.

Not only should you treat her to a movie, it would be best if you also treat her to a big dinner.

Seeing that Xu Yi didn't look like he was joking, Li Xun immediately said in a waning tone:

"Okay, you're busy with your business and I won't cause trouble."

"But...what should I do in the afternoon?"

Xu Yi has no control over what Li Xun goes down to do. He is an adult now, so he can do whatever he likes. Since he is not at work, there is no need for him to assign work to him.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Yi showed up on time at the Raffles City shopping mall in Dongzhimen, where he bought the movie screenings. The show at 3:20 does not end until 5:30.

Chu Ningning is also very punctual.

At about 3:50, Chu Ningning arrived at the gate of Raffles City Shopping Center.

"Director Chu~"

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Chu Ningning wore a gray windbreaker and a brimmed hat today, showing a completely different style from his usual cadre attire.

When Xu Yi saw it for the first time, he thought to himself:
Sure enough, a beautiful woman looks beautiful no matter what she wears.

Chu Ningning, who was wearing work clothes, was already stunningly beautiful. As soon as she took off her clothes... No, once she changed her clothes, she became even more stunningly beautiful.

Xu Yi: "No, I just arrived."

Chu Ningning: "Yeah."

The two deliberately kept a distance of about half a meter, which is a relatively friendly distance between opposite sexes. If it's too far away, it will look out of place; if it's too close, it's easy to cause problems.

Xu Yi redeemed his movie tickets and asked Chu Ningning:
"Director Chu, what are you drinking?"

Chu Ningning: "Just mineral water."

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yi came over with a large bucket of popcorn and two bottles of mineral water.

Because time was very tight, the two of them entered the screening room first and waited for the movie to start without waiting.

This was an extremely unique experience for Xu Yi.

The first one was unique. It was the first time in so many years that he watched a movie alone with a girl of this level. Although they are not holding hands, it is enough to make people's hearts flutter.

The second unique thing is that Xu Yi watches his own movies.

Most people cannot understand this feeling.

The movie watching process is nothing to describe. Xu Yi is a gentleman, and Chu Ningning is more like a veteran cadre. There is almost no physical contact between the two.

Two and a half hours of watching the movie was thrilling and unfinished.

Especially the sacrifice of the members of the Jiaolong Commando made Chu Ningning a little depressed.

She originally thought that there was nothing to look forward to in this movie. He just played a role in it for Xu Yi, so you can come and take a look. After all, Xu Yi's previous achievements made Chu Ningning have some expectations for this man.

I didn’t expect that the quality of the movie was so high!
"This movie is very good, and the filming is also great." When leaving the cinema, Chu Ningning said sincerely: "I think Lao Chu will also like to watch it. I will take Lao Chu to watch it again later."

Xu Yi quickly said modestly:
"It's all well-trained by the director."

Chu Ningning smiled and shook her head, and then said: "The director's rhythm is very good, but Xu Yi, you did a good job in it. Sniper... have you ever been exposed to a sniper before?"

Naturally Xu Yi would not tell the truth, he just said perfunctorily:
"of course."

"Watch it on TV a lot."

Chu Ningning gave Xu Yi a look and said, "I knew you didn't tell the truth. Okay, I should go back. Thank you for inviting me to watch a movie and eat popcorn."

Hearing this, Xu Yi subconsciously said:

"Director Chu, do you want to have dinner together tonight?" (End of Chapter)
