Chapter 538 Massage, business exchange

Slipping the wrong number, Zhou Xia wanted to hang up, but Xiaoying's sweet voice sounded over there, so he had no choice but to go with the flow.

"Hello, boss, I'm Xiaoying."

"Xiaoying, did you call me just now for something?" Zhou Xia asked seriously.

Usually, even if something happened, Xiaoying would call his assistant first.

"No, nothing." Xiaoying hesitated slightly, and then raised her voice as if mustering up her courage: "Boss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you." Zhou Xia understood what she meant.

"Boss, if you don't feel well, I can help you. I often massage my grandma and dad when they are tired." Zhao Xiaoying had already said what she wanted to say, so she didn't have any worries.

"Hehe, massage?" Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing.

What time is it?
It was just after eleven o'clock at night!
If you really asked her to come for a massage, it would be like a melon field, and there is no way to explain it clearly.

"Boss, really, my technique is very good, and I have strong hands, you will be satisfied!" Zhao Xiaoying thought Zhou Xia was laughing at her, and immediately said seriously.

"Let's forget it. It's too late today. When I go back to filming, I'll meet you when I get a chance." Zhou Xia thought for a while and replied.

It is estimated that the company did not arrange for Xiaoying to stay in the same hotel with him, so it is really inconvenient for her to come.

"Okay then!" Xiaoying finished in a low voice, then hesitated a little and said sincerely: "Boss, in my heart, you are the most talented director in the world!"

"Hehe, thank you Xiaoying, I will work hard for your words!" Zhou Xia couldn't help it, and joked.

"Boss, come on, I will too!"

"Well, let's all work hard, it's so late, you should also rest, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Zhou Xia hung up the phone, recalling Xiaoying's funny and cute words, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling.

It would be even more embarrassing if she came and really just gave him a massage!

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Zhou Xia hurriedly got up and went out to open the door.

as predicted.

Dressed up in a red evening dress, Tangtang, like a queen, is right outside the door.

"Yiyi, why don't you call them back!" Tangtang said coquettishly after entering the door.

"Oh, I just took a shower and I'm planning to go back."

"Yiyi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, it's not because I didn't win the prize!" Zhou Xia knew what she was going to say, and quickly explained it clearly. Many people have asked this question tonight.

"Yes, we don't care about this award either. When our "Starting Line" is finished, we will go to foreign film festivals and come back with a big prize!"

Tangtang felt relieved and encouraged Zhou Xia.

"Yes, that's it, get the big prize!" Zhou Xia could only agree with her.

"As long as you're fine, is she beautiful tonight?" Tangtang twirled around with her skirt.

A gust of fragrant wind hit, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Zhou Xia couldn't help being a little intoxicated.

"Pretty, Tangtang is beautiful anytime!"

"Then you still want to tear down other people's desks!" Tangtang stepped forward and hung on Zhou Xia's neck, pouted her red lips, looked at Zhou Xia from a close distance, and continued to act coquettishly.

Knowing that she was talking about helping Xiao Ai and Xiao Ying on the red carpet, Zhou Xia could only comfort her and said, "How could I dismantle your platform? I'm just a newcomer leading the company. This is our company's tradition. You are not bad Know."

"Then you have to make it up to me, people's headlines have been squeezed out!"

"Okay, how do you want me to compensate you..." Zhou Xia said as if coaxing a little girl.

"Bad guy, ask questions knowingly!"

"Okay, I understand, Tangtang won the best actress tonight, I'll celebrate it for you!"

Zhou Xia said a princess picked her up and walked inside.

………………

The next morning, Zhou Xia and Zhang Zhao set off from the hotel to Wuxi.

Except for Zhou Xia's assistant, the two did not bring anyone else along. This time it was just an informal meeting, mainly to gain Lao Mouzi's trust and promise in person.

As for the things that should be discussed, the work teams of both parties will verify the signing of the contract.

It was past eleven o'clock when we arrived at Lao Mouzi's house after a two-hour drive.

Lao Mouzi already knew about Zhou Xia leaving the Hundred Flowers Awards press conference with a cold face on the Internet, so after learning that he came from there, he basically didn't mention it.

He is the kind of person with a typical delicate heart and will think a lot about others, which is one of the reasons why he and Zhang Puping broke up so badly.

If he had a stronger personality, maybe there would not be such a long-term cooperation, or such a result.

"Director Zhang, long time no see, you have been cleared recently."

Zhou Xia sat down in the spacious and elegant study room of Lao Mouzi's 3000 million villa, after the two parties shook hands and saluted, noticed his changes, and said with concern.

"Yeah, the last time I saw you was at the premiere of your first movie." Lao Mouzi also said with emotion, it seems that the two of you haven't seen each other for twenty months.

The main reason is that he didn't go to many activities and missed many opportunities to meet.

"Director Zhang, I heard that you've been preparing for "Return" these days. How about the script preparation?" Zhou Xia thought about what Zhang Zhao had mentioned, and talked about him from left to right.

It's really impolite to talk about signing the contract directly.

"Oh, Yan Geling only handed over that notebook to me two months ago, and we are still discussing it now, and it will take at least a few months before it can be corrected."

"I heard that it was written in the 70s and [-]s, would it be a little sensitive?" Zhang Zhao on the side interjected.

The reason why Lao Mouzi's "To Live" was banned is still unknown.

Many sources said that they were banned from participating in foreign film festivals because they violated the regulations of the Film Bureau.

"Oh, this will not involve some sensitive subjects. I have already filmed "To Live" and "The Hawthorn Tree", both of which are themes of that era. "Return" will also show that era from the side like "The Hawthorn Tree" , shouldn't be a problem."

Lao Mouzi explained it very seriously.

Whether you are a director or an actor, you should cherish your personal artistic career. It is better not to do some things that violate the regulations.

Only by continuing to create can we express ourselves more.

"Looking forward to the early release of this movie. Director Zhang's "To Live" is the best movie I've ever seen in China. Through an ordinary little character, the insignificance and tenacity of people in the tide of change of the times and the country are shown so thrillingly, It's shocking, it's really an epic of human beings 'alive', I don't know if I can make such a movie in my life."

Zhou Xia said with a sigh, he is not polite, such a movie is rare, maybe he will not be able to make it in his life.

"How old are you, just say your whole life!"

Lao Mouzi couldn't help laughing, he could feel that Zhou Xia really liked his movie: "I have watched all three movies you made, except for the one released by your company recently, I have actually watched all of them , I believe you can make better movies."

When Zhou Xia heard this sentence, he still couldn't help but feel happy. If this continues, wouldn't it become a business bragging.
