Senior Superstar

Regarding the expansion, Li Shixin himself does not admit it.

What is expansion?

When a person obviously does not have the corresponding strength, but has a self-cognition that is far beyond the actual, this is called inflation-obviously, An Xiaoxiao, a weak chicken, belongs to this category.

And when a person has clearly reached the peak in a certain field, but also has a self-cognition corresponding to this strength, what is it called?

This is called self-confidence!

Obviously, the old man is this one.

Although the North American film market is the market with the most historical background, the Chinese market is the future in terms of box office potential.

If it is purely for the development of his career, he only needs to maintain his undefeated box office in China. There is no need for Xinye to go to Hollywood to work hard.

What are you doing in Hollywood?

It's not to earn those few dollars, but to prove that I have enough strength to gain a foothold in the international film industry, harvest applause on a global scale and walk on the road of self-support!

How can you do it if you don’t take the statuette?

Unlike the previous Berlin Film Festival, most of the film festivals in North America are group judges. For example, the Golden Globe Awards, which had already been held in January, adopted a model in which the jury of media reporters voted for the finalists and award-winning works.

On the Oscar side, the committee selects the judges, and the judges select the nominees and awards.

This mode of selecting awards cannot be said to be perfect, and there are also some tricks and loopholes.

For example, in the Golden Globe Awards, it was revealed twice that members of the media reporter group were given small favors by the issuer to influence the results of the selection, and there were also insider scandals at the Oscars.

But relatively speaking, except for some unavoidable class prejudices, the awards in North America are still objective.

To make an analogy, if there is no compromise of personal position, the probability of winning the Golden Bear is infinitely close to zero, while awards such as Oscars and Golden Globes have little hope.

Not to mention that there are Chinese directors and artists among the Oscar judges.

After learning about Zhao Jinzhi's operation, Li Shixin secretly thought about it.

After having lunch outside with Zhao Jinzhi, Li Shixin didn't choose to go home to rest, but went straight to Hua Qi and Li Juan to meet.

As the content director of Huaqi, he was always worried about the few projects left before he went to Hollywood.

Now that I'm back, I have to intervene both emotionally and rationally.

After learning from Li Juan that the implementation of several projects was not bad, Li Shixin felt relieved.

After finishing everything, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Zhao Jinzhi's home.

Knocking on the door, Li Shixin heard cheers coming from the room.

Sure enough, as the door was pushed open from the inside, An Xiaopei, who seemed to have just returned home with exquisite makeup, rushed out.

"Teacher, Xiaoxiao misses you to death!"

"."

Seeing the rebel who said he missed himself but kept looking into the suitcase with his nose like a hound sniffing, Li Shixin sighed faintly.

Pushing away the fleshy face, Li Shixin entered the room with the suitcase.

Zhao Jinzhi was busy in the kitchen, and Li Shixin was quite surprised to see a large pile of ingredients on the kitchen table.

"Yo, you cook yourself again?"

"I didn't have time at noon, so I dealt with it outside. No matter what happens at night, I have to catch you well. Besides, today is a young year, and I can't order takeaway to deal with it."

While clumsily cutting carrots, Zhao Jinzhi said with a smile.

According to the customs in Shanghai, the day before New Year's Eve is considered a small year. If Zhao Jinzhi didn't say anything, Li Shixin almost forgot.

Realizing that the Chinese New Year would be one day away, Li Shixin patted An's little head, motioned the little girl to take the suitcase to her room, and then walked towards the kitchen.

After washing his hands carefully, he took the knife from Zhao Jinzhi quite naturally.

It could be seen that Zhao Jinzhi wanted to make ingredients for the squid that had died tragically. It's just that due to the skill of the knife, a good carrot has been peeled into the shape of ginseng.

With a sharp knife, he cut the carrot into neat diamond-shaped pieces, and changed the knife on the squid that died without dignity. Li Shixin turned on the hot pot of the gas stove with ease.

Looking at his whole set of smooth and flowing movements, Zhao Jinzhi's pretty face flushed slightly.

"You are still better."

cut,

You have never seen me so powerful!

Li Shixin curled his lips, and secretly vomited.

Seemingly feeling that it would be superfluous for her not to work in the kitchen and not to say anything, Zhao Jinzhi smiled dryly and said, "How do you plan to spend the Chinese New Year this year? Go to Zhenzhenna, or go back to Rongdian?"

"I'm not going, I'm just here to have dinner with you."

"real?"

Zhao Jinzhi's face instantly burst into surprise.

"of course it's true."

Putting the squid into boiling hot water and blanching, Li Shixin raised his head and smiled faintly.

"Suzhen called before, and tomorrow she will go directly to the Rong store to pick up Maggie back to the United States. She is in a tight custody lawsuit over there, and she needs to stabilize her job and income, so she cannot ask for leave. At the Rong store, Shuo'er and Xiao Ying's mother and stepdad are coming over, so I won't join in the fun this year. It just so happens that Xiaoxiao won't go back to his hometown, and you are by yourself. It's good for the three of us to live together so that it won't be deserted and noisy. Besides, I plan to After the Chinese New Year, I will go back to Hollywood after the premiere of "Lamb" in China is over, and I don't know when I can get out if I'm in Rongdian.

Seeing Li Shixin tidying up the ingredients swiftly while planning his life casually and plainly, Zhao Jinzhi frowned.

Carefully looking at Li Shixin's every move and that plain face, she blinked and said, "Old brother, I have known you for three years."

"Only three years?"

Li Shixin raised his head, amused.

"Three years is a little more, but that's not what I want to talk about."

Zhao Jinzhi shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just that I suddenly feel a little emotional. I feel that you have changed a lot every year in the past three years, but it seems that you haven't changed much. I feel that sometimes I know you to the bone, and sometimes I don't know you. Sometimes it will suddenly feel very strange.”

Oh shit.

This woman's eyes are a bit poisonous!

Li Shixin paused slightly for cutting vegetables, and then let out a haha.

"Hi. People. The state of mind is different at each stage. That is to say, when I met you for the first year, I had two blood clots in my brain. Don't bring decades of wasted time into the coffin. After the second year, when you feel that you can still dance for a while, you want to collect the debts of your youth and pay attention to the past. I have an explanation for myself."

"Now? The dream has come true, and the debt has been collected. What are you thinking?"

Seeing his sudden sincerity and calmness, Zhao Jinzhi asked with great interest.

"right now."

After smashing the garlic, Li Shixin raised his head.

After thinking about it, he tilted his head and smiled.

"Now I just want to live for myself, and I also want to see how capable I am and what a wonderful life I can create."

The warm-colored chandelier in the kitchen casts a soft halo on Li Shixin and the cabbage on the chopping board.

Seeing that clean and age-inappropriate smile, Zhao Jinzhi was stunned.

It wasn't until the kitchen knife jingled again that she pursed her lips and smiled, and handed over the washed fish.

"Then I'll watch."
