Chapter 925 Talking About Marriage with Parents
On December 12, Zhou Xia returned to Shanghai again. This year is an even-numbered year, and there is no Golden Rooster Award. At the Hundred Flowers Awards in October, Tangtang once again won the Best Actress.

Although Zhou Xia did not attend, he still won two awards, Best Actor and Best Director.

For him, he is not as enthusiastic about these domestic awards now.

In the past few years, he was full of expectations and went to participate every time, but he only won the award for the cheapest new director every time.

This made him feel angry.

But there is no way, he is too young, and the films he made before are all commercial films, some people use the criteria of these domestic awards to block him, and only award him a new director, Zhou Xia has no choice.

In September last year, after Zhou Xia won the Venice Golden Lion Award, with a heavyweight award next to him, Zhou Xia's mentality towards the award became much calmer.

But he was disappointed that he didn't get the director award at the Golden Horse.

Then at the Oscars in March this year, he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, becoming the second Chinese to win the entire award after Li An, and he felt even more confident.

Coupled with the box office hits of "New Detective" and "Legend of Sword" at home and abroad, he has become a hot commercial director in the world.

The media praised him, and fans and moviegoers also praised him to the sky, which was even more enthusiastic than the Golden Lion Award and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

This made Zhou Xia understand even more that awards are illusory, and the real box office results are the last word.

Cameron and Nolan have not won any awards, but they are still one of the most popular directors in the world.

So things like awards are left to chance.

Now that he is filming "The Price of Love", Zhou Xia also has the same idea.

It would be best if he could win an award, if he can't win an award, as long as more people see what he wants to express and achieve his goal of disgusting some people in Hollywood.

December 12th was Sunday, Zhou Xia left Hongqiao Airport at 7:11 am, and he could still catch lunch when he got home, so he simply didn't go to the company this time, and went home directly.

The couple Zhou Yuan and Xia Mei were very surprised to see Zhou Xia returning home at noon.

This son is a workaholic. In the past few years, he has spent less than three days at home.

Basically, after finishing all kinds of work, I go home at night, have a meal with them, and chat for a while. Sometimes I stay for one night like staying in a hotel, and sometimes I leave after dinner.

They haven't been home before lunch for at least three years, and when they suddenly saw Zhou Xia coming home, they all wondered if this was their son.

Seeing the surprised expressions of these two, Zhou Xia was a little amused for a moment.

"Dad, Mom, what's the matter with you, don't you welcome me back? I came back from the United States and brought you gifts."

Zhou Xia said, and gave them the presents they were carrying.

"Well, this is really my son. No wonder my right eyelid keeps twitching today. It turns out that the big boss is back today. It's really rare."

Xia Mei didn't even look at the gift bag that Zhou Xia handed her, and couldn't help but tease.

Zhou Xia's heart surged with anger and blood. Is this still her real mother?

"Well, the right eye jumps disaster and the left eye jumps money, you mean I am the disaster star of our family." Zhou Xia said dumbfounded.

"Hehe, let your father tell you that seeing his son at home at noon is something that hasn't happened in several years."

Xia Mei looked at her husband Zhou Yuan and couldn't help asking.

"Humph!"

Zhou Yuan put down the newspaper, looked at Zhou Xia and snorted, didn't say much, his dissatisfaction was palpable.

"Hehe, didn't I surprise you, it seems that I scared you."

Zhou Xia smiled awkwardly.

"You don't have any problems, do you?" Zhou Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Ah..., no, I just came back from the United States, and the time is just right, so I'll come back to have dinner with you."

Zhou Xia hurriedly said that the matter with Yaya will be discussed later.

And I can't tell all about it, because I want to keep Luna's affairs secret, and only after Yaya gave birth to the child can I tell the details.

Otherwise, now that I've said it, these two couples must have forced him to make it clear that Yaya had a child before she was born, so wouldn't she have to explain Luna's origin?
"That's good. Let's have dinner later. Let me ask you something first." Zhou Yuan sat down again and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Okay, Dad, you can ask." Zhou Xia had no choice but to sit down opposite Zhou Yuan.

"I heard that you went to the United States to make a lesbian movie. What's going on?"

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Xia and asked seriously.

This son is now the most influential director and cultural celebrity in China, and his every move will cause various discussions.

Domestic media and netizens don't understand Zhou Xia's move, and there are many rhythms on the Internet.

Some people even rhythmically said that Zhou Xia hated the domestic censorship system and went to Hollywood movies, which sparked various discussions and had a great impact

Zhou Yuan wanted to know what was going on, since their family backgrounds were different after all.

"Dad, it's really nothing. I just went to Hollywood to try to make a movie, and I will make a bigger movie in the future. Why do you care about this so much?"

Zhou Xia asked strangely.

"It's not that I care, your status is unusual now, you must pay attention to the impact of every move, and try to explain some things clearly to the outside world and the public.

Now Weibo, WeChat, and various self-media and so-called public knowledge say that you can't stand the domestic censorship system and plan to flee the country.

Going to Hollywood to make a literary film now is paving the way for the future.You must at least respond to this kind of thing, so that no one can manipulate public opinion, you know? "

Zhou Yuan said seriously.

"Dad, you think too much. Those people are clowns. Does anyone still believe them? If I respond, I will give them room to hype."

Zhou Xia said helplessly.

He didn't want to get involved in these things, those people were people who could not afford trouble without trouble, and it was more than anyone could wish for him to be taken care of.

"Xiao Yuan, your father is reminding you to pay attention to the overall situation."

Seeing that Zhou Xia didn't understand what his father meant, Xia Mei continued, "You just don't have the big picture and your political sense is not sensitive. Otherwise, why did you lose the best director several times? You used to be young, but now you are not young. You have to know how to see the big picture." ,do you know?"

"Oh, oh, I see, thank you, Mom and Dad."

Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing, and quickly agreed, his parents really worried about him.

Speaking of which, he has made so many commercial films, and started filming "Starting Line", "Descendants of Yanhuang", and the following "I'm Not the God of Medicine", in fact, he is also actively transforming.

He didn't want to get involved in these things, but people have nationality and belonging, so he followed the trend and did these things naturally.

I had a conversation with my parents, and soon lunch was ready, and the family chatted while eating.

Zhou Xia has been watching the words and expressions, and seeing that the two couples are happy, he took the opportunity to start talking about what he really wanted to say when he came back.

"Dad, Mom, didn't you keep urging me to get married early, and let my grandpa and grandma report their grandchildren while they are healthy? If I plan to get married during the Chinese New Year, what do you think?"

"Plan to get married during Chinese New Year? So soon."

Zhou Yuan and Xia Mei looked at Zhou Xia puzzled, and Xia Mei asked first.

"Why, don't you believe it?"

Zhou Xia looked at the surprised couple with a smile.

"You really didn't procrastinate this time. You took someone to meet your grandpa and grandma during the summer vacation. You are going to get married this Chinese New Year. It seems that it is really settled, not bad!

Xia Mei nodded approvingly and continued, "So, are you going to arrange for us to meet Xiao Ai's parents?"

"No."

Zhou Xia couldn't help being embarrassed when she heard her mother always mentioning Xiao Ai, and quickly explained: "The person I want to marry is not Xiao Ai."
