Lao Wang actually stopped drinking.

This made Xu Xin subconsciously widen his eyes.

My heart says, little brother, what is going on?

The result... When he saw Wang Sicong pointing in the direction of Si Wei and saying "no more drinking" with certainty, he immediately understood what it meant.

I just can't guess whether the two of them are preparing for pregnancy now or have already started.

but……

No matter what, this kind of thing is definitely a good thing.

He also warned me, "You should smoke less."

After hearing this, Di Wei quickly shook her head:

"I didn't persuade him, it was his decision."

Throw the pot clean.

Xu Xin smiled slightly.

Whatever the truth is, it doesn't really matter.

What's important is that the two friends have indeed entered the next stage of their lives.

fine.

But another thought also came to his mind.

If Lao Wang gives birth to a girl, then let Yangyang dye her hair yellow.

What if I give birth to a boy...

Um.

It’s okay if you don’t want this friend.

Of course, he didn't say this out loud because he had to give his friend some face.

During this meal, everyone chatted about everything.

To get down to business... there is one such thing.

That’s why Wang Sicong decided to invest in Chen Rui’s Bilibili.

"When I was in Shanghai last month, I had a meal with Chen Rui and talked about the prospects of the website Bilibili. I think it's pretty good. He now needs a first-round financing of around 30 million.

, I plan to lead the investment, do you have any objections?"

"without."

Xu Xin shook his head:

"I don't know anything about investing. You just have to figure it out. I will give you the money directly if you need to pay it at that time."

"Okay. I think the future of this website is pretty good."

"Um."

The only serious business can be done in just a few words.

The rest is just idle chatting.

After the meal, the two went straight to Boston to take wedding photos the next day.

Xu Xin also once again devoted himself to the busy preparation work in the early stage of the film.

In early September, after finally finishing the complicated work such as location selection in New York, he returned to the "empty" Los Angeles.

The people at Paramount are already looking forward to it.

In fact, given Xu Xin's qualifications, he would not have made people at Paramount expect so much. But who made "Perfect" have a box office of over 300 million US dollars?

An imported film made Paramount a lot of money.

Although it's only temporary.

But they have already begun to work hard for the Oscars internally.

"Perfect" will be released in half a month, and according to this trend, the final box office should reach about 330 million US dollars.

If it wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, then Paramount can at least make a net profit of US$70 million from this film.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by this money?

And more importantly, they got off to a good start with a director.

It turns out that Xu can make movies.

Both past achievements and the film "Perfect" have proven this.

As an absolutely dominant film company in Hollywood, from their perspective, what they lack most is actually excellent directors.

Especially this rising star.

Everyone hopes to have a good start in cooperation, and this "John Wick" is an important opportunity for their cooperation.

What's more... the investment in this film is simply ridiculously low.

Even including Keanu Reeves' salary, the total investment is only about 20 million US dollars.

Twenty million!!

With such a small investment, it doesn’t hurt even if you lose money.

What's more... Judging from Xu's resume, he seems to be very good at "using small things to make big things happen".

The people at Paramount really can't wait.

So, September 3rd.

After Xu Xin rested at home for a day, he started the audition for "John Wick" directly.

Then I met a friend I hadn’t seen for a long time.

"Margot. Haha~"

"May!"

Looking at his friend's open hands, Xu Xin stood still politely, stretched out his upper body, and gave her a very gentlemanly hug.

Then he helped her open the store door:

"Please, ma'am."

"Thank you, Mr. Gentleman."

The two entered the restaurant talking and laughing.

It was already noon and the audition was over.

However, Americans don’t have the habit of taking a lunch break, and auditions started at 1:30 p.m., so the two of them randomly found an Indian restaurant to eat at the Paramount building.

"Xu, how was my performance this morning?"

"not bad."

Xu Xin gave an affirmative answer.

In the morning, Margot came to audition for a female killer who wanted to kill John Wick in the hotel.

"How come I didn't know you had fighting skills before?"

"I have only studied for less than half a year. Yang recommended me to study, so I went... Unfortunately, I am too busy this year, otherwise I would have been able to visit you long ago."

"Is it the Paramount movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?"

"No, there's another one. It's called "The Time Traveler." It's a science fiction film that just came out today. I just came back from Australia to promote, and next is the promotion for "The Wolf of Wall Street." But... you know

, I’m just a NOBODY, serving as Leonardo’s foil. When I heard you were launching a new movie, I came over.”

Although he said that, in Xu Xin's eyes, his friend was completely different from the one who worked at Disney before.

The whole person exudes a kind of confidence.

Obviously, having the opportunity to work with Hollywood's top stars and also play the leading role is a huge improvement for any actor.

Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled slightly:

"You're giving me face like this?... Then won't you delay the promotion of this movie?"

"……ah?"

Margot looked stunned.

After realizing what Xu Xin meant, he asked speechlessly:

"So careless?"

Xu Xin shrugged:

"What else? The role of this female killer actually doesn't have much room for expansion. As long as the action scenes are in place, other aspects can be almost ignored. You are here, how can I not let you in?"

Just like what he said.

This female killer character actually has no special role, it is just a functional role.

During the audition in the morning, he also witnessed his friend's crisp and agile skills.

Then come on.
To be continued...
