The day after returning to China, Jiang Xiao met with Li Yu, the director of "Guanyin Mountain".

If nothing else, I just want to talk about the movie.

Also present at the scene was Fang Li, the film’s investor and producer.

This fellow is still from the same province, but he has moved to the United States and is now considered an American.

The other party actually runs a technology company in the United States, selling a variety of sophisticated detection instruments, which are among the best in the world. Although it is a bit unpopular, its worth is probably not low.

Only then will it be okay to invest in literary films that have no "money prospects" at all. The works that have been invested in before are even movies that have no chance of being released, such as "The Summer Palace" and the like.

Future even knelt down to beg for film arrangements for "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", which made many ordinary people aware of such a behind-the-scenes filmmaker.

"Mr. Jiang is really young and promising. He has achieved what he has achieved in his twenties, which is really admirable."

"Mr. Fang is overly praised. Maybe he is lucky."

After everyone sat down after greeting each other, when Jiang Xiao heard Fang Li's opening remarks again, he responded politely.

"They say luck is also a kind of strength. No matter what, I still want to thank you for starring in "Guanyin Mountain" for a low salary."

"You're welcome, Mr. Fang is more worthy of respect. An upright filmmaker who doesn't care about commercial investment in artistic films should be able to contribute some efforts to this end."

Jiang Xiao was naturally able to do business compliments and other things at his fingertips.

"Don't praise me like that. I'm willing to invest in literary films, and I hope to achieve good results. I'm not so arrogant, ha!"

Fang Li smiled and immediately waved his hand in response.

"As long as the audience recognizes it, I believe they will be rewarded accordingly."

In fact, literary and artistic films are not a dead end, as long as the director doesn't deliberately use tricks, make them too personal, and make the film completely incomprehensible to the audience.

Similarly, literary and artistic films do not necessarily have to be dark, violent, or colorful in order to be called literary and artistic.

Movie stories like "The Pursuit of Happiness", Andy Lau's "Sister Tao" and Xu Zheng's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are all easy to understand and do not lack the artistry they deserve.

"It's difficult! After all, literary films belong to a niche audience."

Fang Li sighed.

"That's right."

Jiang Xiao did not refute this view. After all, most viewers only watch movies to entertain themselves and do not rise to the level of artistic pursuit.

Films like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are somewhat clever. They just hit the pain point and created a topic, which is why they finally achieved unexpected and huge success.

After finishing, Jiang Xiao, who didn't want to lament to Fang Li anymore about the situation of literary films, took the initiative to look at Li Yu who had been silent just now and said: "Director Li, why don't you tell me about "Guanyin Mountain"?

Movie……"

All in all, when we parted ways, the unsettled shooting time of "Guanyin Mountain" was finally confirmed and was ready to start shooting on the 27th.

In addition, he also learned that in terms of actors, besides him and Fan Binbin, there was also Zhang Aijia. It was pretty much the same as in his memory.

~~~

That night, Jiang Xiao came to Zhao Liying's residence for dinner.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, you are here!"

"Well, where is your sister Liying?"

After knocking on the door, he found that it was Di Lieba who opened the door. Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Xiao asked casually.

"Sister Li Ying is in the kitchen personally preparing food for you, Brother Jiang Xiao."

"Oh, but why are you looking at me like that?"

While Jiang Xiao was changing his shoes, he seemed to notice that Di Lieba looked at him a little differently, so he asked the other party directly.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Dilireba, who didn't give the answer directly, was the first to put it off.

"I heard lies."

Jiang Xiao laughed secretly when he saw the girl doing this, but he didn't choose the truth that everyone would choose under normal circumstances.

"..."

And Dilireba, who really didn't expect Jiang Xiao to say that, was speechless for a moment.

"Tell me, do you want to complain about me as the boss again?"

Jiang Xiao had guessed that, as usual, Dilireba would probably complain about him on some issue. He was such a spoiled little assistant. Her salary should have been deducted into a negative amount long ago, so that the other party could not make up for it.

Just get up...

"I'm not complaining, I'm just curious, brother Jiang Xiao, how you can coax every woman around you to be so obedient."

Dilireba, who curled her lips slightly, finally asked this question.

After all, she was present when Gao Yuanyuan from the United States was here, and now she is also present here with Zhao Liying, and she lives here, so it is inevitable that she will not think about some things that are there and not.

"Stop complaining, why does it sound like sarcasm to me? Dilireba, do you believe it or not..."

"I believe it, Brother Jiang Xiao, please punish me!"

"Uh...what are you doing? Point your butt at me?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xiao suddenly turned around again after seeing another word from the girl in jeans, and even stood up slightly... What is the punishment here?

"I asked you to shoot. I was wrong. Didn't you aim last time..."

Dilireba, who licked her lips and felt her cheeks were a little hot, still had the courage to say these words.

She didn't know why she acted like this, but she did it without any regrets.

"Ahem, don't make trouble, you are just a kid, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Dilraba spoke so bluntly that Jiang Xiao almost choked. Every generation is becoming more direct and she dares to say anything to her face.

"I'm so young, I'll be 18 next year!"

Unconvinced, Dilireba immediately muttered a retort.

"Hey, eighteen is amazing!"

Jiang Xiao, who didn't plan to talk to the girl any more, simply ignored her and went into the house.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, when did you become so timid? It's not like your character!"

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Dilireba impulsively provoked him again.

"Then tell me, what is my personality?"

Although he could tell that Dilireba was irritating him, Jiang Xiao couldn't imagine how a grown man could be afraid of a little girl, so he immediately stopped and asked.

"He's the kind of person who's very courageous and very unnecessary... Brother Jiang Xiao, you know what I'm going to say, right?"

Anyway, she was brave enough, so she just said what she wanted to say directly.

"Crack!"

Jiang Xiao finally couldn't hold it back any longer and took action, using practical actions to "punish" a disobedient assistant who also liked to talk nonsense.

"..."

Faced with all this without much preparation, Dilireba was stunned for a second and finally realized what Jiang Xiao had done, which made her cheeks turn red.

Then there was a feeling that I had never felt before, and instantly my heart trembled, like a surge of electricity.

"What are you looking at? Didn't you ask me to fuck you?"

Jiang Xiao, who was unfazed by the shock, saw Dilraba staring at him, so he spoke without blushing or heartbeat.

"you……"

"Hmm, what are you two talking about at the door? Why don't you come in?"

"It's over!"

Although she asked for the beating, seeing Jiang Xiao's natural look, Dilireba still wanted to retort, but she was interrupted by a sudden voice as soon as she opened her mouth.

And when she subconsciously turned around, she saw Zhao Liying with an apron tied around her waist and a spatula in her hand a few meters away. Naturally, she was speechless and felt that it was very possible that what had just happened had been observed.

When I arrived, the whole person became a little panicked.

"It's okay. Let's just chat. Come over right now. Ying Bao, let me see if you made something delicious."
