Chapter 301 Like an unfinished project
"I'm just happy. Why, do you think the clothes I picked out for you don't look good? Are they all the latest and most popular styles?"
"And I saw on the news that you wore the clothes I picked out. You look very handsome, right?"
Perhaps because she was too convinced of Jiang Xiao, Fan Binbin found that she had never treated a person like this before. She never said anything, and her thoughts other than work could no longer accommodate anything else.
For example, whenever she sees a style of clothing she likes, she will think that a man would look particularly handsome wearing it, and then she can't help but buy it.
"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that I have so many clothes that I can't wear them all. Any more clothes would be a waste. At least you don't have to buy me clothes when you have nothing to do."
To put it bluntly, good-looking people look good in whatever they wear. Of course Jiang Xiao doesn’t dislike it, he really feels that he already has enough clothes in his wardrobe.
"Okay, I listen to you. I will try to buy as little as possible in the future, but this time I will buy it as a congratulations to you for winning the Best Actor again, and the International Best Actor. My brother is so lucky, hehe!"
Fan Binbin spoke to the end and added a "code word" in a low voice.
"Hmm, just average, third in the world."
What a bastard. Normally, a woman would only call her this in private, when that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that.
"It's only third place. I think first place is the right one. Hey, isn't your film that won the best award now being released? I haven't heard any news about it? How is the box office going?"
A cocktail party is not a good place for whispering, so Fan Binbin stopped talking, and then asked about "Li Mi's Conjecture".
"How should I put it? I encountered some circumstances and the producer made some mistakes on his own. The competition version was too different from the approved version, so he was secretly named. It was not taken down and it was still released. It's probably all because I took it.
It will bring additional impact to become an Olympic champion.”
"So there is no way to promote it. The director has been banned from filming for a year, so it's not surprising that we don't hear much news."
"As for the box office, for a literary film, it's actually pretty good, because it has already exceeded the 20 million mark so far, so that's about it."
In front of Fan Binbin, Jiang smiled and didn't hide anything, and told everything he knew about the situation.
Speaking of which, the screening scale of "Li Mi's Conjecture" has been reduced a lot compared to the original, probably because the theaters don't want to cause too much trouble.
Another thing is that in the censored version of the film, Jiang Xiao's role was greatly reduced, which will also have some impact.
Under various factors, he was able to achieve a box office of over 20 million in less than ten days, which is enough to prove how much attention he has received as a recent hot topic.
However, in terms of reviews, "Li Mi's Conjecture" still has a good reputation, and because his scenes were largely cut, Li Mi, played by Zhou Xun, was highlighted even more.
In terms of acting alone, Jiang Xiaodao didn't really receive bad reviews due to the reduced role. Especially the monologue at the end of the movie was greatly praised and was regarded as the most heart-wrenching and textbook performance among the ordinary.
.
This is probably why he is so impressed by his ability to interpret the character's unique temperament.
Relatively speaking, Jiang Xiao is the kind of person who plays whatever role he plays. He has such a strong sense of shaping that the audience can ignore his outstanding appearance. This is probably the main reason why he was recognized by the judges and won the best actor.
After all, actors who look too handsome have always been easy for people to ignore their acting skills, while actors who are not so outstanding are more likely to highlight their acting skills.
"I didn't expect there was such a story behind it, that's such a pity!"
After listening to this, Fan Binbin naturally felt sorry for Jiang Xiao.
"There's nothing to regret. There's a cause and a result. If you don't do it, you'll die. Besides, winning a Best Actor Award is a corresponding reward for me. What more can I ask for."
Regarding this point, Jiang Xiao found it easy to think about it. Anyway, he was only participating in the show and not involved in investment. He had nothing to lose in the current situation.
If he really wants to invest, he will not allow his partners to play tricks or sneak into the company.
In the end, he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He happened to think of a question that had been put off for a long time, so he turned around and said, "Hey, Binbin, you won't forget about the painting, right?"
"Or are you saying that you haven't decided what to draw yet? When will we resolve this matter? Otherwise, I always feel like there is something unfinished, like an unfinished project."
"I haven't forgotten. I'm just too busy and haven't taken time out. When you're free, I'm not free, so we haven't gotten together."
"I had already thought about what to draw, so I drew a self-portrait and thought, hey, wouldn't this be a bit narcissistic?"
Fan Binbin might not care if it were other people, but with Jiang Xiao, she still had to be pretentious.
"It's a bit, uh... I'm joking. I told you earlier, so you can take a picture of what you want to draw and give it to me. I can draw it without a real person being present."
Sincere Jiang Xiao was about to admit it, but when he saw a certain woman about to glare at her, he quickly changed his words.
"What's the point of drawing photos? No, I have to be there in person. Otherwise, we can agree on a time in advance when both of us are free, and then we can go abroad and travel there for a month or half a month."
"This way we can get along well for a while, and also draw pictures at the same time, what do you think?"
Fan Binbin also realized that her chances of getting along with Jiang Xiao for a long time were basically zero, so when such an idea came up, she could never put it away.
"That's okay, but I'll probably be free in about three months, because after I finish promoting "Witness", I will soon join the cast to shoot a new movie."
After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Xiao didn't object to Fan Binbin's proposal, and gave a brief summary of his schedule.
"Three months from now? It happens to be New Year's Day? Okay, then it will be set in three months. It's not allowed to change. Let's make arrangements in advance."
Anyway, we all have an idea, and Fan Binbin doesn’t mind settling on it.
"Okay, then that's it."
"Well, hey, you want to film a new movie? Is there a role suitable for me?"
Fan Binbin nodded and continued to ask casually.
"There doesn't seem to be one, and there aren't many female characters. It's basically a friendship and entrepreneurship story between three men."
Jiang Xiao, who didn't take special care of Fan Binbin because of his relationship with him, simply shook his head.
"Okay, no, no, I'm just asking casually. After all, if I can film with you, at least there will be a lot more opportunities for us to get along with each other in a fair and honest way."
This is indeed a real reason in Fan Binbin's heart.
If the distance between her and Jiang Xiao is still "positive" now, maybe she will continue to fight for it.
But after being "negative", she actually didn't want to cause any estrangement between the two of them due to any external reasons. Who made her care so much about this man.
"It will happen in the future, I promise."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao could only give such a promise.
His reaction was really not slow enough to notice that something was wrong. Fan Binbin was treating him very differently. So naturally he had to treat him with sincerity.
"Well, I believe it. Okay, I won't say any more. I have to walk away, so as not to let others think that I have occupied your focus for too long. See you later!"
Seeing that what he said was almost the same as what he said, Fan Binbin quickly took the initiative to walk away.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao didn't say much and quickly walked towards the others.
In this way, he chatted with almost every celebrity guest who came to support today, and talked a few words with those he knew well, such as Xiaogangpao, Xu Zheng and others.
For those who are not familiar with each other, just say simple greetings, such as Huo Siyan and others.
It wasn't until around eleven o'clock that the reception started to end, and Jiang Xiao returned home alone without going there. After all, there were reporters watching, so he still had to be careful.
…………
Starting from the next day, Jiang Xiao naturally started the publicity campaign of "Witnessed by All".
The entire crew was also divided into two teams. He took Xiaodao Meizi, Yu Nan, Yue Buqun's son, and Liu Yan into one team.
The other team is naturally composed of Guo Fucheng, Wu Gang, Yan Ni, and Da Tiantian.
As for Tong Yaya taking the initiative to stop participating in publicity, Jiang Xiao would naturally not force herself.
Then he led the team along the way, first to Fengtian, and then continued to promote all the way west, going to Chang'an, Rongcheng, Shancheng, Changsha, Wuhan and other places.
Guo Fucheng's team traveled to Qingdao, Jinling, Magic City, Hangcheng, and Shencheng until the entire crew converged on Yangcheng to end the entire promotion.
There is no way, admit it or not, "Painted Skin" is a strong competitor. Even if it is just a martial arts film covered in a magical skin, in this era, it is still attractive to the audience.
