"I think... why not join? We are making movies, how can we suddenly become civil servants? Working nine to five every day... I can't stand it."

In the guest house room of Xiying Studio, Xu Kaibin was the first to object.

"Besides, you also know, Lao Song. My son will go to elementary school next year. I gritted my teeth and bought the school district house just so that my child can receive an education in Yanjing. It will be easier to get into Tsinghua and Peking University in the future... You let me

It gives me a headache just thinking about going back to my hometown to compete with those 600 or 700 points..."

Hearing this, Song Wen didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In fact, among the four people, Song Wen felt that the one he owed the most was Lao Xu.

Although few people never mentioned it, a large part of the reason for his divorce was believed to be caused by the film exhibition.

His wife left him because the film exhibition was not making money and there was no development in sight. The couple had quarrels and conflicts that eventually led to divorce.

Lao Xu loves movies, which can be seen from the 8.5 million yuan shared by everyone this time.

He is not a person who values ​​money very much.

But as the third-ranked student in the county's college entrance examination, he was more concerned about his children's education.

Although this conflict was never mentioned, everyone in the team knew that he preferred to stay in Yanjing.

If the film festival moves to another place, the team will definitely set up an office in Yanjing to contact some directors, actors, etc. in Beijing. This is what he will be responsible for at that time.

But if he joins Xiying Film Studio, he will know that these tasks will not be his turn. The reason for giving up at this time is not for other reasons, but purely for the sake of his children.

It’s already hard for a child to be a single parent.

If there was another separation between the two places, he would never agree.

Therefore, after hearing his request, Li Ziwei immediately asked:

"What if... Xiying Film Studio can also let you work in Yanjing?"

"Then I can consider it. As long as I am not separated from my child, anything will work. My son must not follow my old path. It is too painful. The admission threshold in our province is too high...compared with his future, everything

I can give up everything!”.

After Xu Kaibin finished speaking, he expressed his attitude and then fell silent. Li Ziwei subconsciously looked at Li Ningning.

"I actually don't care. It's work wherever I work... Xi'an is pretty good, and if the working environment at Xi'an Film Studio is as stable as Director Xu promised, my dad won't say anything: "Girls are here

You’re running around outside, it’s weird if someone marries you, and so on. It would be nice to find a boyfriend from the northwest~ It’s better than what you have now, right?

Let's face it...it's quite realistic.

But there's nothing wrong with it.

In Li Ziwei's eyes, Ning Ning has been dating her for two or three years.

Never mentioned the marriage.

I always feel that the two of them have more of a mutual comfort relationship than a couple.

purely to meet physiological needs.

"So...you agree?" "Yeah."

Li Ningning nodded:

"I believe in Director Xu's character. As you know, I am responsible for volunteer management. Didn't I tell you before? We have seen many filmmakers, big and small, and Director Xu was the first to stand up and pay attention.

The person who went into the details of our film exhibition and provided encouragement. After his interview that day, many people cried... Talking about such a difficult film exhibition, I thought these movie stars would feel shabby... But after hearing his words

In the end, I felt that everything was worth it, because... we are doing what we love... "

She had a smile on her face:

"So I think if I can set my sights on a director at the bottom, his character will definitely not be bad. In addition, my father has always hoped that I can stabilize... After all, at my age in our hometown, I am not married and there is no formal relationship.

At work, many people think that I am not doing my job properly, and my dad feels that his face is disgraceful..."

After saying that, she shrugged, indicating that she voted in favor, and remained silent.

Song Wen subconsciously looked at Li Ziwei.

But found that Li Ziwei also

Looking at him.

They looked at each other and were speechless.

After more than a minute of silence, Li Ziwei said:

"Let me tell you first." She scratched her head:

"Actually... it doesn't matter to me. If... I can discuss with Director Xu... or the factory to implement the matter of keeping Binzi in Yanjing, then I can do anything else.

I am somewhat similar to Ning Ning’s point of view. If she hadn’t mentioned family, I might have been more indifferent. But when she mentioned family... I thought, my parents are not young anymore. I am 30 this year, so it is really hard to find someone.

Boy friend.

If I can stabilize myself and put my personal life in order, I think my parents will feel at ease. This is a personal aspect.

As for career... I pay more attention to what Director Xu said. He said... The film festival is a cultural and tourism support package for Shaanxi. Didn't I tell you before? Xi'an, the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty, is their tourism

Business card. It must not be something that starts at the beginning but ends at the end~

Moreover, I don’t know if you heard it, but he proposed a... term that is quite unfamiliar to us, called the Northwest Circle.

I don’t know how much you know about these, but I know the relationship between actors and directors that I visit all year round. They are very particular about this. For example, if someone has a grudge against someone, I will not go there if he appears. For example, the red carpet position...

…These are things that actors pay more attention to.

The director is more particular about circles, cliques and the like.

I think Director Xu can reach this position at such a young age, and his potential in the future must be extraordinary. And since he has chosen to be deeply bound to Xiying Studio... it means that he must have seen the potential of Xiying Studio...

…probably?

Strictly speaking, we don’t know much about this, but since Director Xu, Yang Mi, Liang Binning and others have all chosen Xiying Studio, it would be good for us to follow suit. The above is my personal opinion.”

After making a summary, Li Ziwei continued:

"The next step is the film festival... I thought about it. If we follow our backup plan, we will also cooperate with other cities. Didn't we mention those objective conditions? It's too far. It's too far. Stars and directors may not be available.

will come, so it must be a city with an airport.

It doesn’t matter if there isn’t a city that we can give back to, just like XN City, which sent us an invitation. It’s further west than Xi’an, too far away. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a desert in the entertainment industry, but it’s definitely worse than Xi’an.

Finally, there is the issue of influence... I have never paid much attention to the influence of Xiying Film Studio before. I know that people like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige came from here. But after visiting the honor room and museum today, I found that their influence is almost

Radiating the entire film and television industry.

Therefore, my opinion is also in favor. The premise is that Binzi’s matter can be communicated and we can see how to deal with it. The four of us have suffered together. I hope that I will not only be a lifelong partner with you, but also a lifelong partner.

Together, inseparable friends! "

After she finished speaking, she finally looked at Song Wen.

Now it's 2 to 1.

It's up to him to make the final vote.

As the founder, he is also the final decision-maker of the small team.

He actually had a lot on his mind.

On the one hand, no one mentioned any money, which made him feel particularly touched.

I felt that I had no virtue and no ability, so I found three like-minded partners.

On the other hand... he felt a little shameless.

Because from the content of the chat this afternoon, he could feel that... Xiying Film Studio did not absolutely need them.

Even he himself understands it.

Not to mention anything else, what kind of resources does Director Xu have?

When it comes to running a film festival, a group of people went crazy to find him for cooperation. However, he received four of them and chose to treat them with sincerity. It was really a big honor.

But now if I want to settle in Xi'an, I have to bargain with others because of the team's personal reasons.

How can we bargain with others?

It’s not like people beg us.

And in his heart, he actually felt that... the conditions offered by Xiying Studio were very generous.

If he can come out of Yanjing, he is not afraid of traveling far away.

But now we are negotiating terms for a state-owned enterprise that does not absolutely need them.

No matter how you look at it, it is a ridiculous thing.

But for the sake of his teammates, he hesitated again and again...

"I agree, but it's the same as Ziwei's point of view. If we can solve Binzi's problem, we can sell our lives to him. But if it can't be solved..."

He looked at Xu Kaibin:

"Since we all came out together, we must be together if we want to do anything. I will call Director Xu to discuss it now. If it can be agreed, I hope you will take back your words that you can't stand the 9 to 5 job! "
To be continued...
