In the living room of the new Hua Xia Cinema, Xiao Yunhai was skillfully brewing tea. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, giving off a pleasing feeling.
Beside him was Zhao Wanqing, while across from him sat his teacher, Yao Wenyuan, and the recently retired principal, Zhuang Bin.
The two of them had agreed to watch a movie together. When they were on their way back, Xiao Yunhai happened to see them, so they came here together.
As one of the owners of the new Hua Xia Cinema, the manager, Jiang Chengdong, naturally took out the best tea leaves to serve Xiao Yunhai when he heard that he was coming.
Xiao Yunhai saw that it was his favorite high-end Longjing tea, so he asked for a tea set and water to personally brew tea for Zhuang Bin and Yao Wenyuan.
After he was done, Xiao Yunhai placed the cups in front of the two of them and said, "Principal, Teacher, have a taste and see if my skills have deteriorated."
Yao Wenyuan chuckled and said, "Is there a need to taste? Just by looking at your movements of brewing tea, I can tell that you drink a lot of tea at home. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm afraid I can't change a habit that I've cultivated since I was young. Teacher, how's your body? "
Yao Wenyuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I practice the Tai Chi Healthy Fist that you taught me every day. My body is very good, and I don't even have a headache or a cold. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's good. Principal, why did you suddenly retire? According to your age, you shouldn't have reached that age yet. "
Zhuang Bin drank a mouthful of tea and said, "This is called giving up my position to a better person. When I'm old, I can't keep up with the development of the times and social trends, so I shouldn't block the path of the young. I don't have an official position now, and I play chess with Old Yao all day. My life is very comfortable. "
Yao Wenyuan smiled and said, "During your tenure, there were superstars like Yunhai, Wan Qing, and Huang Bo, as well as dozens of A-listers. It can be said that you left a strong mark in the history of the Yenching Film Institute."
Zhuang Bin nodded. "That's right. But I still can't compare to you. Yunhai's influence had already surpassed the entertainment industry and reached the peak of the world's pyramid. In the future, when people talk about him, they will definitely mention you. This is something that will go down in history. "
Xiao Yunhai hurriedly said, "Principal, please don't say that. I can't afford it. Let's not talk about anything else. Just this' Tang Bohu Dips in the Autumn Fragrance 'alone, I reckon that there are already people scolding me on the internet. "
Speaking of this movie, Zhuang Bin's face became serious. He asked, "Yunhai, I don't understand. Why are you still making this kind of parody movie? Don't you think this is inconsistent with your current identity and status? "
Yao Wenyuan nodded and said, "That's right. You are now the leader of Hua Xia Film and Television. Making such a nondescript movie will indeed have some impact on your position in the entertainment industry. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher, I've never thought of myself as the leader of Hua Xia Film and Television, nor have I cared about my status. I just want to make movies that can satisfy my fans. No matter what genre it is, as long as the audience likes it, I'll be happy. When the script for 'Tang Bohu Dips in the Autumn Fragrance' was first released, Wan Qing told me that it would definitely be attacked by the film critics. But I still made it, so that the fans who had finished a year of work could laugh happily in the theater and celebrate the New Year happily. From the reactions of the fans in the theater, I should have done it. As for the film critics, let them be. I don't care at all. "
Yao Wenyuan said, "Back then, I knew that you didn't seem to be interested in literary films. As expected, the movies that you made after that were almost all commercial films. Only 'The Grandmaster' still had some strong cultural feelings. Tell me, kid, what are you thinking? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher, I really don't like literary films that are made to win awards, unless it can get good box office sales. Otherwise, it's just trash. "
"I've never told you before, but I'm actually someone who only cares about box office sales. A director should make a movie for the fans, not for art. No matter how artistic your movie is, if the fans don't buy it, then it's useless. "
"I think that the value of a movie's existence is to be recognized by the fans, to bring them sadness, happiness, shock, or emotional experience, and not to moan for no reason. Of course, I'm not completely rejecting literary films. Only those that are recognized by the fans are true literary films. Otherwise, it's nothing. "
Zhuang Bin and Yao Wenyuan looked at each other. They didn't think that Xiao Yunhai would have such an attitude towards literary films. But thinking about it carefully, what he said was not without reason.
Movies were made for the audience to watch. If the audience didn't even watch it, then what value did it have?
However, Yao Wenyuan felt that Xiao Yunhai was too absolute, so he said, "Yunhai, have you ever thought that if everyone thinks the same way as you, then literary films might disappear? This will definitely have an impact on the inheritance of culture. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher, I know that I'm too one-sided. Maybe it's because I'm too young. So I've never said these words outside, and I won't publish any comments about Hua Xia's movies, in case my words cause some negative consequences. Hehe, humans, every stage of their thinking will be different. Maybe when I'm forty or fifty years old, I'll have more life experience, and my view will have a big change. But, that's what I think now. "
Yao Wenyuan nodded and said, "No matter what you think, at least you're passionate about the movie industry. As the richest man in the world who controls ten trillion yuan, I'm really gratified that you can still take out so much time to make movies. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I've positioned myself as a filmmaker first and a businessman second. Just like I said on the interview show, I walked the path of a businessman because of movies. To be able to reach this point today is something I never dreamed of. "
Yao Wenyuan said, "Who would have thought? I hope you can make more and better movies for your fans in the future. But, have you thought of a way to deal with those movie critics now? "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said indifferently, "They can say whatever they want. As long as the fans like it, it's fine. "
Back home, Xiao Yunhai turned on the computer.
All the major forums were filled with comments about Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance.
Xiao Yunhai did not pay attention to them and directly opened the movie viewing website.
The number of experts was 59, and the rating was 1.23. The number of fans was 68741, and the average score was 9.08.
The difference between the two parties was so great that it was even greater than that of 'Charlotte's Troubles'.
The five-star film critic Lai Changping wrote, "Today, I went to see Xiao Yunhai's Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance with a glimmer of hope. I only watched it for ten minutes before leaving the theater. Mr. Xiao said before that he was prepared to be scolded. Obviously, he was also very clear about the merits of his movie. To be honest, I'm very sad. Mr. Xiao is the tacit leader of Hua Xia's film industry and is the world's box office champion. I really didn't expect him to make such a movie. It's like driving a car in reverse, and it fell from the top to the bottom. "
"Without a doubt, I give this movie a score of 0. Unfortunately, there's no negative score, otherwise it would definitely be -10. If you want me to comment, then I only have one sentence. In my eyes, 'Tang Bohu Tasting the Fragrance of Autumn' is a worthless trash. "
Lai Changping's words were unusually sharp. Between the lines, there was a hint of disappointment.
Xiao Yunhai didn't get angry after reading his comments.
Because he knew that this was an honest and selfless film critic. He didn't have any bad intentions when he scolded him like this.
Zhao Wanqing hugged Xiao Yunhai's neck from behind and giggled. "Hubby, how is it? It doesn't feel good to be scolded, does it? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed. "It's nothing. Even if his words were ten times worse, I wouldn't feel anything. Look at the score that the fans gave it. The average score is 9.08. Other than 2012, this movie has the highest score. Haha, wait and see. When the box office comes out, these critics will be scared silly. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "That's a matter for the future. What you need to do now is take a hot shower. I'm about to faint from the smell on your body. "
Xiao Yunhai raised his arm, sniffed it twice, and said: "It really does smell a bit. Maybe it's because I haven't showered for two days. Wifey, your body smells a little too. I think the two of us should go together. "
Zhao Wanqing snorted and said, "Do you think I'm as unhygienic as you are? Cut the crap and go quickly. "
Xiao Yunhai stood up and saluted. "Yes, Sir. Please take a rest, Sir. When I'm done showering, I'll definitely serve you well. I guarantee that your Piaopao will be as good as nine days. "
When she heard Xiao Yunhai's extremely explicit words, Zhao Wanqing's face instantly turned red. She said coquettishly, "Hurry up and leave."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and went to shower without even taking his pajamas.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yunhai came in front of Zhao Wanqing naked and said, "Sir, I'm done showering. Now it's time for me to serve you. "
After he said that, he took off Zhao Wanqing's pajamas. Ignoring her screams, he kissed her fiercely.
