Chapter 33 Gift
I have to say that [A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart] is a very excellent movie.
This movie is a purely realistic feature film. It does not have those action scenes of car chases and explosions. However, because of the strong inner scenes, the emotional scenes, and the conflicts between the antagonists, it does not feel tedious at all.
The film touches on several core issues in the family: the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the education of children. Although there is no standard answer to each question, it is enough to make people think deeply.
After watching the movie, Gu Wei knew that the movie would not be a high box office hit. It might win an award, but it would definitely not win at the box office.
This is the current situation of the Chinese film market. Except for comedies, only commercial blockbusters with high investment and celebrity participation can achieve high box office.
Basically, the only way for low-budget feature films to win awards is to win.
However, with the development of time, the Chinese film market has further matured. In the future, realistic feature films like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Life Events" will also achieve high box office.
This requires film creators to make progress bit by bit, and it also requires further maturity of the movie-goers.
After the premiere ceremony, Gu Wei said goodbye to several friends and teacher Wang Qianyuan, and returned to the hotel. Zhang Tianai is not here, he must have returned to his residence.
Zhang Tianai has been renting a house since she came to Beijing. Her family is in good condition, and she earned a lot of money as a model in the early days. She is not a person who feels wronged by herself, so she chooses to rent a house with a good environment and a good location. She has been living there for the past few years. Didn't change place.
Gu Wei has been there several times. The house is not big, but it is very warmly decorated.
Gu Wei's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his mother.
I told my family about making a movie last semester. After all, I didn’t go home for the entire summer vacation.
At first, his parents thought it was the crew that Gu Wei used to give 200,000 yuan as a gift. Gu Wei gave a brief explanation and said that this opportunity was introduced by a teacher at school.
Recently, the movie was released, and Gu Wei also reported the good news to his family, but his father didn't respond at all. His mother called him every three days, telling him that the movie was really good, and one of the relatives at home praised him. Enjoy it every day.
"Son, are you busy?"
"No, I just came back from a promotional trip two days ago."
"I'm out here alone. Remember to be on time. Even though eating and work are important, don’t tire yourself out,” my mother said earnestly.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m an adult now and I can take care of myself outside.”
"I have something to tell you. Your dad and I have discussed it and want to buy you a house in the capital."
"Mom, why do you two suddenly want to buy a house?" Gu Wei was confused. road.
When he first went to school, he once persuaded his parents to buy a house in the capital.
After all, it was only 11 years ago. If you buy a house in Beijing, you will make a profit.
But at that time, his parents did not take his words seriously. They just told him to study hard and leave children alone.
"When your dad and I first started, we didn't know if you could continue acting.
Originally, what we both thought was that after graduation, if you don't develop well in the entertainment industry, we would go home. Come, follow your father and slowly take over your father's small factory. Then you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. I didn't expect that you would give us such a big surprise after just over a year of schooling, my son. He is also a big star now."
My mother said happily.
“What a big star, I just filmed this movie.”
"If you act well in a movie, you will be a big star. I mobilized all my relatives and friends at home to go to the movie. They all praised you when they came back, saying that your son acted really well and was so handsome.
He will be a big star in the future. A star."
My mother's tone became high again as if she had thought of something.
"If you can continue on the road of acting in the future, your father and I will consider buying you a place to stay in the capital. No matter whether you are studying now or working after graduation, you must have a place to live."
Gu Wei thought for a while and said
"Mom, don't be anxious first. Buying a house is not a trivial matter, and the housing prices here in Beijing are not comparable to those at our house. When I go home during the Chinese New Year, we will have a good discussion as a family of three. If we have made a decision, you can follow me when school starts next year. My dad took the time to come to Beijing and buy a house. "
"Okay, listen to my son." Although Gu Wei didn't go home after the movie was released, he called his parents. You can feel that they no longer regard him as a child and have more trust in his words.
Then he listened to his mother nagging for a while, telling him to eat on time, not to stay up late, put on more clothes so as not to get cold, etc.
When he was in college in his previous life, Gu Wei was most annoyed by his mother's nagging. Every time she called to ask for money, she would get impatient when she heard her nagging.
Now she sounds quite friendly, and I respond to her patiently.
Is the mother worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away? Gu Wei is far away in another place. The only thing he can do is to tell his family that everything is fine and they don’t need to worry. This is the greatest filial piety to his parents.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei called the driver, Master Zhang, to pick him up.
Getting in the car, "Master Zhang, take me to the nearest shopping mall."
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
After a while, the car stopped outside the Guomao Mall. Gu Wei put on his three-piece cap, sunglasses, and mask, and told the driver to wait for him before walking into the mall.
Now that he is somewhat famous, Gu Wei always takes care to protect himself when he goes out. Wearing a three-piece suit, people who are familiar with it will not dare to recognize it.
After wandering around the mall for a while, Gu Wei walked past a Cartier store and thought about it before going in.
The salesperson greeted him enthusiastically, "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
The salesperson was probably under 30 years old, very slim, and wearing a professional suit. , the exposed wrists and neck are decorated with simple jewelry, and the overall look is very eye-catching.
Gu Wei looked around and said, "I want to see the lady's watch."
The smile on the salesperson's face became even brighter. "Sir, please move over here."
As he said this, he led Gu Wei to a counter.
“This counter is full of Cartier’s latest and most popular women’s watches.
Can I introduce them to you individually?”
Gu Wei glanced at the dazzling array of watches on the counter and pointed to a watch with a blue dial and strap. "Take this out and let me take a look."
The salesperson took out the watch and handed it to Gu Wei, and kept introducing it
"Sir, you are really discerning, this is Our Cartier is currently selling one of the most popular women's watches - the Cartier Blue Balloon series.
It has a 42mm dial and a Cartier 1847MC workshop-refined self-winding mechanical movement. Case, fluted crown set with a sapphire cabochon, blue guilloche dial. Sapphire crystal. Interchangeable 750‰. The rose gold folding clasp highlights the noble and elegant temperament of the owner.”
The salesperson talked a lot, but Gu Wei didn't listen carefully. He just thought the watch looked pretty and matched his girlfriend's temperament.
He bought the watch intending to give it to Zhang Tianai. Zhang Tianai’s birthday at the end of last month happened to coincide with the release of "Xiu Chun Dao". As a starring actor and investor, he is busy every day In the end, the two of them had a meal together to celebrate a little. He didn't have time to prepare any gifts.
Now that I am not busy, I can just make up for the gifts. I believe she will also like it.
“How much is it?”
“Sir, it’s a total of 135,000 yuan.” The salesperson smiled like a flower.
"That's it, wrap it up for me." After saying that, he followed the salesman to the front desk to check out.
