The children struggled for a while and finally became quiet.

One by one, their mother took them back to the bedroom to rest.

As for Xu Xin, he put down his space chair and chatted with Ai Qing about some things in the United States.

Although he has been to Miami, he obviously still lacks knowledge of the United States.

When she heard Xu Xin chatting with her about the news about Kobe visiting the slums late at night, Ai Qing seemed to be afraid that he would also do something to "go out to collect information", so she quickly said:

"Director Xu, we absolutely! Absolutely cannot go to these dangerous places! Late at night, the two words "slum" combined are a huge danger in itself! Even if you have bodyguards, gangs are prevalent there and addiction is everywhere.

Gentleman, AIDS patient, mental patient..."

Although Xu Xin listened to the advice and knew that the United States was quite chaotic, he still said:

"It felt pretty good when we were in Miami last year."

"That's because you live in a wealthy area. People in wealthy areas pay more taxes, and the police will protect them because they rely on the taxes of the wealthy for their salary. Maybe something happened to you on the streets of this street.

The prisoner was arrested before he reached the end of the street. But if you are in a civilian area or some more dangerous communities, if you are unfortunately shot, you may have turned into a cold corpse by the time the police or ambulance arrive.

.”

"...Tsk."

Xu Xin sighed:

"It's really an exaggeration. It seems that the American people are also living in dire straits."

"In dire straits?"

Ai Qing smiled bitterly and shook her head:

"No, Director Xu, for the rich, the United States is paradise. But for the poor, the United States is a hell that is more terrifying than dire straits."

"That's why the United States exaggerates the American Dream..."

"Jingle Bell……"

Before the topic was finished, Xu Xin's phone rang.

He picked it up and took a look.

The first thing you see is time.

It is already 3 pm in East Eighth District.

The plane had just taken off from Seoul.

The caller was none other than Qi Lei.

"Hey, Brother Qi, what's wrong?"

"Have you set off yet?"

"It has already taken off from Seoul. I estimate that I will arrive in Los Angeles at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"Hmm. Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Convenient, it must be convenient. Just say it."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Ai Qing wisely got up and went to pour water.

"That's right... Gu Changwei brought back a movie."

"……Um?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Asked subconsciously:

"Bring it back?...What does bringing it back mean?...He took the photo?"

"right."

Qi Lei responded:

"The title of the film is "The Favorite". After filming last year, I just finished post-production. I took it back to the factory and plan to participate in the election."

"Well……"

Xu Xin's first reaction was confusion.

What's there to say about this kind of thing?

Regardless of Gu Changwei's current situation in the factory, as far as the works are concerned, whether it is the factory or the art creation center, the directors, screenwriters, actors, etc. here basically don't have to talk to the factory about what kind of works they will act in.

Say hello.

We are all cooperating and achieving win-win results, and we are not signing a contract of betrayal.

Unless it is a project promoted by the factory itself, such as "To Youth", the factory will pay for it and produce the script, and then it will be involved in the selection of directors and actors. Usually everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Although Gu Changwei has been squeezed out of the factory in the past two years and went to a TV station as a part-time deputy director, he still has a status in the industry.

Making movies is normal.

And if you stand for election, that's normal.

After all, we need to be united.

Besides, the factory has not yet closed the deadline for submission of works.

All works that meet the requirements can be submitted for selection before July 15th.

After July 15, the selection process of the "Silk Road" Film Festival ends, and the advanced films will be handed over to the main unit and the Silk Road unit for final selection and arrangement for the opening of the film festival.

It's too late for him to send it now.

Thinking of this, he asked unconsciously:

"What's wrong with this film?"

"Well..."

Qi Lei seemed to be quite confused. After thinking about it, he said:

"Do you know Gao Yaojie?"

"Never heard of it, who is it? Director? Actor? Investor?"

"No, she is the first person in our country to prevent AIDS among the people. She was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005."

"……so smart?"

"Yes. It is indeed very powerful...Yan Lianke, do you know?"

Not intending to explain too much about "Gao Yaojie"'s achievements, Qi Lei turned around and asked.

Xu Xin became more and more confused as he listened, but he still said:

"I have seen that when Director Zhang and I were working on "The Hawthorn Tree", we invited him to come to Director Zhang's house to talk about the book. He is the author of "Shouhuo", right?"

"Yes, yes, have you seen it?"

"Um."

Xu Xin responded, then couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Qi, what do you want to say?"

Sometimes it was high, and sometimes it was tight, which made Xu Xin feel confused.

Seeing this, Qi Lei simply said:

"Gu Changwei's movie was produced in Beijing."

"……ah?"

Xu Xin was confused instantly.

The first reaction was: Mr. Sun, let me seize the opportunity and kick you away.

Of course, this thought disappeared just for a moment.

If that were the case, Qi Lei would never be so hesitant when he called, and would just tell the conclusion and be done with it.

After thinking for a while, he asked:

"What's going on?"

"Yan Lianke wrote a novel, which was influenced by Gao Yaojie. It was called "Dingzhuang Dream" and it was about the AIDS epidemic in the blood-selling villages in Henan in the 1990s."

"Well……"

"After the book was published in 2006, Jiang Wenli saw the book. On the one hand, she was shocked. On the other hand, she thought the story was very good, so she recommended it to Gu Changwei. After Gu Changwei saw it, he immediately got it to the factory. At that time, Mr. Tian

He hadn’t officially taken over the position yet. At that time, there were two acting directors in the factory..."

"I know that one is Mr. Tian and the other is from Gu Changwei's side. He left peacefully after Mr. Tian came up."

"Yes. At that time, Gu Changwei came to the factory and wanted to film this story. He was not from our department, so naturally he didn't need to ask us for this kind of thing. He looked for someone on the other side, so the factory came forward and made "Dingzhuang"

The copyright of "Dream" was bought back."
