[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~ At worst, go back to farming, what are you afraid of~~~~~

Yuexi was so focused on her family that she didn't notice Li's nervousness at all.Instead, Xiao Yuan turned around and comforted Li, "Don't worry, Li, Yuexi's parents are very good people."

Only then did Yuexi turn her head to look at Li, she pinched his face and said, "It's just my mother who is a little bit wordy."

Li took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.Although this time it was just to accompany Yuexi home, not a formal meeting, but nervousness is always inevitable.In his heart, Yuexi is not just a girlfriend, he has even seriously considered their future recently.Not yet married, but at least he is willing to open up a strawberry field for her.

When Yuexi changed planes, she actually contacted Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan also helped to call Yuexi's parents.So they already knew that Yuexi brought her boyfriend back together, but they didn't expect that this boyfriend was so tall, nearly two meters tall.

"Yao'er, is this your boyfriend?" Ruan Xiuling raised her head and looked hard at Li.She felt that this young man looked exquisite, and the stubble that came out revealed his honesty.Although the height is scary, but I feel sweet and warm.Especially the "Auntie, Uncle, good afternoon" he yelled with a Texas accent.

"Yeah." Yuexi smiled, and pulled Li into the house, "Li, this is my grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, aunt, uncle, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew."

"Hehe." Although Li has learned a few words of Chinese, he is still a squib in front of a bunch of family members.

Yuexi didn't let a lot of relatives around Li, she chatted with her mother, and then took Li upstairs to rest, "Honey, you should rest for a while, I will call you when you have dinner."

Li nodded, and obediently fell asleep on the bed that couldn't even put his feet down.He curled up and barely fell asleep.

Yuexi cheered up and went downstairs to deal with a bunch of relatives, especially the female relatives.

Mom exaggeratedly described her heroic deeds during the earthquake again, carried her grandmother down a dozen floors, and complained about Yuexi's promise to buy her a villa but changed her mind temporarily.

Xiao Yuan coaxed a few words, and then whispered to Yue Xi, "Does the domestic media know about your return?"

"Only my agent knows about the impromptu decision, what's wrong?" Yue Xi asked strangely.

"I have a friend who is personally going to bring some supplies to help in the disaster area. He is a professional, but retired. But there is not enough funds and manpower, so you can donate some money." Xiao Yuan did not answer Yuexi directly, but Said another thing.

Yuexi actually realized what Xiao Yuan's words meant. Although she is developing in Hollywood now, her nationality is still Chinese.Now if she doesn't contribute to this natural disaster when she comes back to China, she will inevitably be scolded.But money can't solve the urgent need, so material sponsorship is more important.She has no first aid experience personally, so she can't help much.But it can still be done by funding professionals to help.

Because she was worried about her family before, Yuexi had never thought about it.Seeing that her family is safe now, she also feels that she can do something with her current identity.

But Yuexi really can't come up with much cash now, 50 RMB is the most.She called Brian and withdrew the money from the account.Of course, Yuexi didn't forget Li who slept upstairs, she called Li who couldn't sleep because of nervousness, and went to do this together.

Li also saw a lot of related news, and he also took out [-] US dollars and gave it to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan helped to contact many non-governmental disaster relief organizations, medical equipment manufacturers and many professionals.But the roads in the disaster area have not been opened yet, so they transported these materials to Jinguan City first, and waited for the official release.

It was already the second day when I returned to my mother's side again.The two of them were so tired that their faces turned pale, and they didn't have time to eat, so they went to sleep for a long time.

Waking up again, it was already dark, and Yuexi was awakened by the smell of twice-cooked pork.She went downstairs and slipped into the kitchen, and started eating secretly, "Oh, Dad, your cooking skills have improved again."

"It's not that your dad's skills have improved, it's that you haven't eaten authentic twice-cooked pork for a long time." Ruan Xiuling smiled, and handed a pair of chopsticks to her daughter, "Your grandma and the others are afraid that your boyfriend will be shy, so they left first."

"Why are you shy? He's such a big man." Yue Xi took the chopsticks and put another piece of meat into his mouth, "Where did they go? There are still aftershocks, so don't live in a tall building."

"Your sister's house, the same small bungalow." Ruan Xiuling glanced back and found that Li had also gotten up.She waved to Li and shouted in Sichuan-style English, "Li."

When Li walked to the kitchen door, he froze for a moment in front of the sliding door, then bent over, tilted his head, and squeezed into the kitchen.

"Come, try my dad's cooking." Yue Xi picked up a piece of meat, tiptoed, and fed it to Li.

"Hmm..." Li chewed a couple of mouthfuls, and felt that the pork was particularly chewy, a bit spicy, but very fragrant, which made his saliva constantly secrete, "haochi."

"You can speak Chinese really well." Ruan Xiuling glanced at Xi Gaofeng. She was quite satisfied with this son-in-law, but he was a little taller.

Li still had a very pleasant dinner. The authentic Sichuan dishes were a bit spicy for him, but the delicious food still made him unable to stop eating with his chopsticks.And my mother Ruan Xiuling is very talkative, and she can barely communicate in English.Although Dad didn't talk much, he kept smiling, which made Li feel a lot more relaxed.

It's just that news about the earthquake has been broadcast in the news, which made Yuexi very worried, "I should still be able to do something..."

"Aren't you going to the Cannes Film Festival?" Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea, "There are also many Chinese filmmakers going this year. Together with them, you can organize a charity dinner."

"That's right." Yue Xi rubbed Li's face, and found that his brain was actually much brighter than her own.

Because the Cannes Film Festival is on the 14th, Yuexi can't stay at home any longer.She and Li bid farewell to their parents the next day and went directly to Cannes to plan this matter.

"After finishing these things, Cynthia and I will come back to visit you." Li held Yuexi's hand and smiled sweetly.

"Okay, okay, go ahead, we're fine, don't worry." Ruan Xiuling looked at her future son-in-law and smiled from ear to ear.

"What's your impression of that child?" After Yuexi and Li left, she asked her husband.In fact, Ruan Xiuling doesn't have high requirements for her son-in-law, Yue Xi likes it, doesn't bother her, as long as she has no bad hobbies.

"How can there be such a tall child." Xi Gaofeng's tone was a bit strange.

"Are you reluctant to part with your precious daughter?" Ruan Xiuling laughed, although Xi Gaofeng was very strict with Yuexi before and didn't talk much, but she actually loved Yuexi.

"Hmph, foreign devil." Xi Gaofeng breathed out from his nostrils.

"Hahaha." Ruan Xiuling burst into laughter, she really wanted to share Xi Gaofeng's current expression with Yuexi.

During this trip to Cannes, Yuexi was originally Chopard's spokesperson and to promote her new movie.But this unexpected natural disaster made her busy raising funds for charity with domestic filmmakers.Charles also made a special trip to attend this dinner, after all, he also has a bit of Chinese blood flowing.

Although the development of the domestic film industry is a bit deformed and the way out is very confused, there are still many excellent filmmakers who continue to work hard.

Yuexi met a lot of old friends, Jia Dao, Manyu, Queen Gong, Ziyi, and Zhiling, although they had never worked together before, but they met each other when they were in China.Coupled with Yuexi's performance in the international film industry in recent years, she finally didn't show her former little fan in front of this group of big stars.

The charity dinner was a success and several million dollars were raised.Although I feel that many charities in China are unreliable, it is impossible for Yuexi to personally supervise the whereabouts of the money.The filmmakers who hosted this dinner finally decided to donate in batches to several relatively large organizations, and asked them to donate to the disaster area on their behalf.However, the details of the use of money must be reported.

After winning the Chopard Award for Best Female Newcomer and promoting the new movie "Male Makeup", Yuexi is about to leave Cannes and return to the United States.But before going back, there were stupid reporters harassing her.

"What do you think about the retribution of a certain actress, Cynthia?"

Yue Xi suppressed the anger in her heart, and tried her best to avoid becoming a fellow countryman with these idiots, "As an adult, I can't understand such a thing, and I don't know what American middle schools learn. Geographical knowledge. Anyway, when I was 13 years old, I knew that earthquakes are when the earth’s plates squeeze each other, the crust releases energy to cause vibrations, and the impact of seismic waves on the ground. There are more than 500 million earthquakes every year, and tens of thousands of people are affected. This It’s the 21st century, and some people still say that natural disasters are retribution, which is naive!”

Speaking of the later, Yuexi was a little emotional, and her eyes were red.

It has only been ten years since the end of the Cold War, and its influence still exists in Western society.Yuexi was lucky, she didn't encounter too much unfair treatment, but who knows if this kind of thing will happen in the future.It seems that her stardom is bright and smooth, but both Yuexi and Brian understand that many viewers and critics regard Yuexi as the same existence as Huang Liushuang, a sexy oriental doll.

The audition invitations and scripts I received recently are all about cheating wives, sexy spies, characters full of temptation and moral decay.

The bottleneck is ahead, and the role of Black Widow will push her to the forefront.Facing everything that is about to come, Yuexi suddenly feels that she is extremely fragile.When answering the reporter's question, fortunately, Brian helped her stop the next question, otherwise Yuexi would really collapse on the spot.

However, the other reporters were not so ignorant. They turned around and asked Charles, "Will you and Cynthia continue to work together? Do you have a plan for the next film? Will Cynthia play the heroine?"

And Charles put Yuexilou into his arms directly, and then praised her to the reporters present, "Cynthia is very talented, of course I am willing to work with her all the time. I haven't seen the next movie I like. But no matter what kind of setting the heroine is, what kind of skin color or nationality, I will let Cynthia play the role."

Charles knew that Yuexi was auditioning for Black Widow, and his words actually helped a little.But the reporters at the scene didn't understand. They thought that Charles and Yuexi would be like those directors and queen actresses in the past, and they would naturally become husband and wife.Like Fellini and Masina, Luc Besson and Milla Jovovich, Ingrid Bergman and Rossellini, Robert Bernini and Braschi, Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter ...

"ie." Li stroked Yuexi's hair. The two of them sat on the balcony of that villa in Hollywood, looking at the brightly lit Beverly not far away, feeling deeply frustrated.

Although the second season of "Spiritual Detective" starring Li continued to be filmed, the producer was deeply disturbed by the impact of the previous screenwriter's strike and the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis.They intervened in Fowler's work, trying to create some conflict in the show to attract the audience.Fowler, too, struggled every day trying to salvage the show.

As the leading actor, Li is not bad, but Anna almost vomited blood when she saw the new script.The characters' personalities have changed so much that it almost makes people think that the last season never existed.

"Our apartment in New York may have to be returned." Yuexi sighed, and she donated all the spare money.Li hasn't picked up any movies recently, and the two really don't have the money to provide two residences.

"It's okay, we still have this place." When Li said this, his heart twitched suddenly, no matter how you looked at it, it was a flag.

Yuexi raised her head, looked at him and smiled, "If it really doesn't work, we'll rent a farm in Texas to grow cranberries."

"Why cranberries?" Li frowned slightly, didn't Yuexi love cherries the most.

"There's no such thing as cranberries in China. If we grow them and sell them back, we'll definitely make money." Yue Xi blinked, seeming a little serious.

"Okay, it's all up to you." Li bowed his head and kissed Yue Xi's forehead, looked at the starlight in her eyes, and felt that even if he was reduced to the point of going back to be a farmer, he still sounded so happy.
