Chapter 866 The Price of Love
What Zhou Xia is most dissatisfied with is that the plot is a little too flat and the climax is not enough.

The battle scene that should be particularly ignited, but because there are too many superstars, it is scattered on everyone, which actually lowers the igniting point.

The rhythm is also a bit procrastinated, starting to rescue the surgeon, and discovering Mel Gibson's villain, it feels too long, making people feel that they have not entered the topic for a long time.

On the contrary, Zhou Xia, as one of the action directors, designed several fights with the domestic action team in the movie, which were much more exciting than other head-to-head, dry force collisions.

"Zhou, thank you for designing these action scenes for me."

At the end of the movie screening, Jennifer whispered in Zhou Xia's ear when she thought of her wonderful performance in the movie just now.

"You're welcome."

Zhou Xia replied in a low voice, glanced at the strange-faced eldest cousin, couldn't help moving her body to the side, her ears were itchy from her breathing.

As the lights in the hall came on, the media, guests and fans who participated in the premiere applauded.

Zhou Xia and other main creators also stood up and bowed to everyone.

The hall where the movie premieres is not the hall on the second floor where the Oscars are held in the Dolby Theater, but a small hall on the first floor that can accommodate 400 people.

The seats were basically full, and hundreds of people applauded, which still made the creators feel very gratified.

The creators were then interviewed by media from the United States and other parts of the world.

It is not the same as domestic media interviews. All the main creators are interviewed by the media who are interested in them.

Although Stallone, Mel Gibson, Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Wesley and others are veteran action stars with a higher status.

But the media obviously wanted to interview Zhou Xia, Jennifer and Jason Statham.

Surrounded by many media, the three of them accepted three to four 10-minute interviews. After the media asked interesting questions, they turned to interview other people.

During the interview, many media brought up the scandal between Zhou Xia and Jennifer, and also showed the intimate photos of the two in the hotel.

Zhou Xia responded with no comment.

Finally, the one-hour interview ended, and it was past ten o'clock before everyone went back to the hotel to participate in the celebration party.

This is abroad, in order to prevent some arranged events from happening, Zhou Xia basically doesn't touch alcohol knowing that he has the power to drink.

The one-hour celebration ended.

Everyone will continue to participate in the promotional activities tomorrow, so they went to the room arranged by the producer to rest in the hotel.

Zhou Xia asked Xiaobai to call Yufei and tell him that he would not go back at night.

Then he came to his room, hurriedly took a shower, and was about to watch the box office of "Sword" in Europe these days, when he heard the doorbell ring.

Zhou Xia hesitated, and waited for three to forty seconds. The doorbell stopped, but there was a knock on the door.

He had no choice but to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the pretty and flushed eldest cousin squeezed in yelling and drunk.

"Zhou, what are you doing, you open the door so slowly. Oh, you're taking a shower, it's pretty fast, do you know I'm coming, click, vomit..."

Seeing that Zhou Xia was only wearing a bath towel and her hair was still wet, the eldest cousin's angry expression disappeared. She made a joke, but the smell of alcohol rose and she made a sound of vomiting.

A smell of alcohol came towards Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia frowned, quickly closed the door, helped her to the toilet, saw her retching on the toilet, but couldn't vomit, so she had to bring her a glass of water.

"Thank you."

The eldest cousin took the water and gulped it dry. She drank it too fast. Some of the water flowed down her chin, from her neck to the deep V-neck of the black dress, and continued to flow down.

Zhou Xia watched and shook her head. The big stars on the screen really don't look like women at all in private.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xia couldn't help thinking of the countless photos of her eldest cousin that had been circulated on the Internet, and felt that she was standing in front of him as if she was naked.

"Zhou, you, why are you looking at me like that?"

The eldest cousin lowered her head after drinking the water, seeing Zhou Xia's strange gaze, she couldn't help asking.

"Oh, it's nothing, you can take a shower."

They have all delivered to their door, what else can Zhou Xia say.

"Why take a shower, what do you want to do, I asked you to talk about movies." The eldest cousin said drunkenly.

"Hehe, if this is the case, then you should go back first, and we will talk tomorrow."

Zhou Xia said it funny, then turned and walked outside.

However, before he took a step, the eldest cousin had already hugged her from behind.

Feeling the softness on the back, and the scent of the woman's perfume mixed with alcohol, before Zhou Xia could react, the bath towel around her waist fell to the ground.

then……

………………

On the big boat in the bedroom, the two had regained their spirits.

After the big battle just now and the alcohol play, the eldest cousin was obviously much more sober.

"Zhou, what kind of kung fu did you use just now? Why have I never seen so much knowledge?"

"cough!"

Zhou Xia choked again at the big cousin's tough words.

He said angrily: "Of course, my Chinese culture has a broad spirit, and there are many kung fu schools in this area. If you haven't met a martial arts master like me, how could you see it?"

"Really, kung fu is so mysterious, it seems to be a supernatural power." The eldest cousin couldn't help but sigh without doubting that it was fake.

"Haha, as long as you know." Zhou Xia was amused.

"Zhou, I really came to talk to you about movies."

"Okay, then tell me." Zhou Xia said speechlessly.

"I heard that the theme of "Carol" you are going to shoot now has changed, and more returns to novels, so should the movie continue with the current script name?"

"Oh, there's no rush for this, we'll talk about it later." Zhou Xia didn't want to draw too much attention to his motivation for making this movie.

"Really, do you want to use the name of the original novel?"

"No, the name "The Price of Salt" comes from the story of Lot's wife in the Bible according to the author's meaning, but many people don't know it.

So I will use other straightforward names, such as "True Love Without Regrets", "Love Dilemma", "Love Forever", "The End of Love", "The Price of Love" and so on. "

Zhou Xia said half-jokingly.

"Then you are not highlighting love? However, I think 'The Price of Love' seems to be more in line with the author's idea." Jennifer said thoughtfully.

According to the preface of the later revised version of the novel, the inspiration for the story comes from the real experience of the author Patricia Highsmith.

In the United States at that time, gay bars were just a secret door somewhere in Manhattan. People who wanted to go to these bars would get off at the nearest subway station or the next stop, so as not to be suspected of being gay. .

The final ending of this group is not the same as in the original movie, and there is a possibility of seeming happiness.

Before the publication of the book "The Price of Salt", the fate of gay men and lesbians in the United States was often "either cutting their wrists or committing suicide by diving."

In short, they must pay the price for their deviant.

Many people are being persecuted as heresy by some organizations that are extremely supportive of gender families.
