Murphy's anxiety due to boredom was indeed a very thorny problem. Even if Yang Yi knew the reason, it was difficult to find a suitable solution.
Because Mo Fei was not an ordinary pregnant woman, she was different from other women. According to the book, Yang Yi taught Mo Fei to do some home crafts, such as string beads, but Mo Fei was not interested in it at all. She even felt more annoyed because of it!
"Xi Xi, come here. Let Mama tell you, you can't be so naughty. What are you doing throwing your toys around? " Murphy sometimes couldn't control her temper. When Xi Xi went a little overboard, she would put on a stern face and scold the little girl.
"Mom, it's Bao Bao. He likes to play. I'll throw it to him and he'll catch it. " Xi Xi was a little frightened by her mother's seriousness. She timidly grabbed her two little hands and explained in a low voice.
"No matter what Bao Bao does, you have to be educated. You can't throw things around. If you want to play with Bao Bao, you should take a proper dog ball and throw it to Bao Bao to catch it under Dad's supervision outside!" Murphy was obviously irritated. She usually didn't scold her daughter so seriously. Even if she did, her voice would be gentle and not as angry as she was now.
The little girl lowered her little head and was a little depressed.
Yang Yi couldn't stay out of the matter. He came over, put his arm around Murphy's shoulder, and coaxed her. "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Xi Xi is a little naughty, but it's every child's nature to love to play. Didn't you tell me not to stifle their nature?"
"But it's also wrong to do this. You're becoming more and more naughty. You're not ladylike at all …"
After coaxing Murphy, Yang Yi turned to look at Xi Xi. The little girl pursed her little mouth and stood there aggrievedly. She was just short of wiping her tears. He had no choice but to turn his head and coax his daughter.
Murphy's anger came and went quickly. She wasn't someone who refused to admit her mistakes. When she calmed down, she went back to hug Xi Xi and apologized. "Xi Xi, I'm sorry. Mom lost her temper just now. It's not that Mom doesn't like you, but sometimes she really can't control her temper."
After listening to her father's explanation, Xi Xi was no longer so aggrieved. At this moment, the little girl obediently leaned on her mother's arm, then raised her little hand, touched her mother's face, and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm fine!"
"PaPa said that Mom is going to give birth to a baby, so … so …" Xi Xi couldn't remember how to say the word irritated. After a while, she skipped it and said, "Mom will be angry, but PaPa said that Mom isn't really angry, and she's not scolding me!"
"En, yes, you can understand MaMa. MaMa is very happy." Murphy hugged her daughter, and her face was pressed against the little girl's tender and cool little face. She was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
"Understand Mom!" Xi Xi felt that she had learned another word, and her eyes were curved with a smile.
However, whether learning to make handicrafts or learn to draw, neither could eliminate the irritability in Murphy's heart. Murphy only liked music, and she was not interested in anything else. However, when Yang Yi took her to the studio to record songs, Murphy felt dull and lost.
What on earth was going on?
Or was Murphy's boredom not because she had nothing to do, but because there were too few people who could communicate with her?
Yang Yi felt that he should hold a small party and invite Xi Xi's friends to come and play, and bring their mothers along so that Murphy could chat with them. Perhaps in this way, Murphy could eliminate the depression in her heart and become cheerful again.
…
However, before that, Yang Yi had to continue filming. "The Fugitive" was almost finished, and Xi Xi's scenes had already been finished. However, Yang Yi, Geng Sha, and Guo Ziyi's scenes were almost all over the movie, so during the day, Yang Yi had to continue working on the set.
Today, there was something extra. Palton Yee, a famous director from America, had arrived. Yang Yi took some time to meet him and talk about the plot of "Prison Break."
When Yang Yi saw Palton Yee, it was difficult to tell that this old man in his fifties was of Chinese descent, because Palton Yee was like other foreigners. His eyes were sunken, his eyebrows were high, and his skin was relatively white. However, his hair was black, as pure black as an Asian's.
"Yang Yi, I think your name is very similar to my surname. It's easy to get mixed up, so I prefer to call you Yang." Palton Yee was very enthusiastic. When they met, he chatted with Yang Yi with a smile, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"You can call me Leon." Yang Yi smiled.
They still communicated in English, because Palton Yee's Chinese was so bad that he could not even speak simple greetings.
"My father died when I was very young, so I didn't have many opportunities to learn Chinese. It's a pity," Palton Yee said with regret. "However, my father did give me a Chinese name."
"What is it?" Yang Yi asked with interest.
"I'm a tough talker!" Palton Yee said with his awkward Chinese pronunciation.
"What? Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. "Yang Yi was confused.
Palton Yee had to borrow a piece of paper. He took out a pen from his pocket, wrote his name on it, and handed it to Yang Yi.
Palton Yee's Chinese writing was not bad. At least, he wrote his name well, which felt like it was written in a clerical style.
"Yi Shuihan." So that's his name. What the hell is a tough talker?
Yang Yi looked at Palton Yee, dumbfounded. Palton Yee looked at Yang Yi expectantly and said, "What do you think? I've been practicing writing my name and signing autographs for my fans. I think it looks good! "
"It's written well! But your name should come from an ancient Chinese poem, "Yang Yi said.
"I know!" Palton Yee, no, he should be called Yi Shuihan. The director in his fifties was as happy as a child. He read, "Bang, Xi Yi Shuihan. It's a story about a killer. "
"It's the wind blowing, Yi Shuihan. The hero left and never came back." Yang Yi corrected his pronunciation, but he didn't intend to argue with Yi Shuihan about Chinese pronunciation. "Mr. Yi, let's talk about your understanding of my movie! How do you want to shoot it? "
Yi Shuihan became serious when talking about work. His blue eyes revealed a wise look. He said, "Every actor in 'Prison Break' is very important. We will find the right actors. Your movie gave me a big surprise because almost all the characters have distinctive characteristics. I also saw that you drew pictures of them. Although we can't find the exact same actors according to your pictures, I think that in order to restore the excitement of the story as much as possible, we should at least choose the same type of actors … "
In addition to discussing the actors, Yi Shuihan also talked about the plot of the story. Of course, there wasn't much to say here, because the original plot of the TV series had been sorted out in the book. Yi Shuihan could almost shoot according to Yang Yi's plot.
But Yi Shuihan wasn't done yet. He also told Yang Yi about the shooting techniques he wanted to use, as well as some editing methods. These involved some technical things. If Yang Yi didn't understand some of it when he watched Du Yuanlei on the set, he might not have understood it.
"This is a very exciting TV series, but I hope that you don't sell this book to the United States before the TV series is broadcast. Otherwise, all the plot will be spoiled, and it will be terrible for our audience!" Yi Shuihan said to Yang Yi humorously.
"Of course, it's my fault for being so detailed and comprehensive." Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Yi's conversation with Yi Shuihan went smoothly. Yi Shuihan was indeed an excellent director. Other than his Chinese being a bit clumsy, he was impeccable in other aspects. He wasn't an armchair strategist. In the TV series that Yi Shuihan had filmed before, it showed that he was very good at filming suspense and crime plots. He could capture the audience's attention through the tight and tense pace.
In addition, the negotiation team's price negotiation was coming to an end. The film and television rights of 'Prison Break' were almost set in stone.
