My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 289
Gu Yaoqing gave birth to a son.

Before the child was born, neither of them knew the gender of the child.

They didn't ask for a gender check during the birth checkup, anyway, they didn't mind whether the birth was a boy or a girl.

On the third day after giving birth, Jiang Shu accompanied Gu Yaoqing to go home to rest.

The next day, their respective parents came to see their grandchildren...

Gu Yaoqing also took a picture of the baby's little hand and posted it on Weibo.

Netizen fans suddenly became manic.

"Having disappeared for so long, she is indeed pregnant!"

"Congratulations! Is this the young master or the young prince?!"

"In a blink of an eye, it was already born. Did I miss eating melon?"

"The baby is born, let's start preparing for business! [狗头]"

"..."

This topic naturally quickly swept the hot list of social platforms.

At this time, the two are bumping into Douwa.

It's just that the baby at this time has nothing to be funny, and there is no interaction.

"What does the milk taste like?" Jiang Shu asked curiously.

"Didn't you eat it when you were young?" Gu Yaoqing smiled and gave him a blank look.

"How can I remember what I ate when I was a baby!"

"Then do you want to try it?" Gu Yao smiled affectionately.

"I have to taste the milk for my son." Jiang Shu said solemnly.

"If it's because of this, then there's no need." Gu Yaoqing said with a smile, "I've already tasted it for you, and the taste is fine."

"...I'm relieved." Jiang Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

During this time, Shawshank's post-production was also in full swing.

American movies also have a review system.

The difference is that the US is a graded system.

Back then, "The Shawshank Redemption" was an R-rated movie in the United States.

The specific restriction is that minors under the age of 17 cannot go to the theater alone, and must watch the movie accompanied by their parents or guardians.

In China, this movie has resources on all major video platforms, so there must be no such restrictions.

The domestic restriction is that if you fail the review, you will not be able to enter directly.

September.

Jiang Shu announced on social platforms that the post-production of "The Shawshank Redemption" has been basically completed.

The films have also been sent to the United States and China for review.

The United States still assigns the R-rated restricted rating to this film.

Domestically, the more sensitive elements of this film involve violence, shooting and homosexuality.

As far as this film is concerned, the first two points are actually nothing in China. Although violent elements are designed, the visual "impact" is not strong.

It is not uncommon for many domestic police and gangster films to have shooting violence and slightly bloody scenes in the film.

Homosexuality is the most sensitive issue in China.

In particular, the same-sex elements cannot be used as the main line of the film, and it revolves around two men from beginning to end... This kind of film will not be released.

The same-sex element of the film is just a side note.

In general, the review of this film is still a bit on the gray edge.

If you say how serious the problem is, it will definitely not be true.

Saying it's okay, some places are close to the gray edge of the review...

In the end, the review of this movie was still not approved in China.

Jiang Shu officially announced the movie's release date, which is October 10st in China and October 21th in North America.

North America was released one day earlier because of the time difference, North America is more than ten hours later than the imperial capital time.

So the two are basically the same day.

It is worth mentioning that the endings of the original novel and the movie are slightly different.

In the novel, after Rhett found Andy’s letter, he decided to go on a journey to find Andy, and the ending is also the line in that movie:
I wish Andy was there, I wish I could cross the U.S.-Mexico border, I wish I could meet my friend and shake his hand, I wish the Pacific Ocean was as blue as I dreamed, I wish..."

The novel ends here.

As for whether Rhett found Andy, there is no explanation at the end of the novel, leaving blank space for readers.

In the movie, the scene where Reid and Andy met and hugged on the Pacific Ocean was directly shot.

The director also struggled with these two endings back then, and finally kept the scene where the two old friends meet.

In terms of box office, Jiang Shu will definitely not worry about whether he can get back his money. The answer to this question is yes.

Now his appeal at the domestic box office must be unique.

Now even if he only relies on him to "paint his face", this movie can pay back.

However, the objective situation is that due to the subject matter, the upper limit of the box office of crime films is indeed not high.

So far, the highest box office of a domestic crime film is "The Case of Rage" with 13.3 billion.

The well-reputed "Wu Shuang" is 12.7 billion.

Compared with those comedies that are not of good quality but can easily earn 20 billion 30 billion at the box office, crime films are a bit at a disadvantage.

Moreover, as a foreign language film, it needs to watch Chinese subtitles, which also has certain limitations for the audience.

Therefore, Jiang Shu will no longer expect this movie to be 50 billion 60 billion, which is an impossible achievement.

In Jiang Shu's eyes, the point of this movie is not how much money it makes, but to make a fortune in world movies.

Of course, you can definitely earn money.

In mid-to-late October, "The Shawshank Redemption" was officially released in China and the United States.

To be precise, the North American film market includes Canada.

The first day of domestic release was Friday, and the box office broke 3 million, which is considered to be a normal performance.

According to the investment of 2.6 million yuan, the domestic box office needs about 10 billion yuan to recover the cost.

Domestic films generally pay back three times the investment, but because Shawshank is an imported film, the box office share of the film studio will be lower.

However, the box office of 10 billion was obviously easily won in the first weekend.

In addition, the film will gradually go to many countries and regions around the world
The distribution resources of the top film companies in the United States must be trustworthy around the world, and Jiang Shu doesn't need to worry about this at all.

North America also exceeded 1000 million US dollars on the first day, but the follow-up depends on whether the American people are strong.

It is no problem to break through [-] million or even [-] million US dollars.

After the first weekend, the box office plummeted, and the guarantee was only 6000 to [-] million.

Corresponding.

Regardless of domestic or North American, the word-of-mouth of the film after its release is very good.

"Awesome movie! Brother Jiang's creative inspiration really has no bottleneck!"

"That last scene blew me away! [Shock]"

"Hope is good, maybe the best thing in the world, and good things never die."

"No matter what the situation is, be free and hopeful [crying]"

"Jiang Shu's best work in my mind! Strong recommendation! But the film may be more suitable for men."

"Who said, I'm a girl and I like [angry]"

"..."

There is no need to worry about the word-of-mouth of this movie. Ten or 20 years later, there is a high probability that it will become a classic in the hearts of many ordinary movie fans.

In the end, Shawshank's opening score was 9.6.

On Earth, Douban scored 9.7 for this film.

This is the only one of Jiang Shu's several films so far that has a lower opening score than that on Earth.

However, on Earth, Shawshank’s initial score on Douban was not so high, and it slowly rose to 9.7 over time.

a few days later.

The box office received 12 billion in the three days of the first weekend, which is also expected.

At present, the cost has been recovered, and the subsequent box office distribution, as well as the box office distribution in North America and other overseas regions in the future, will be profitable.

This afternoon.

Su Shu and Shi Ran came to Jiang Shu's house together.

Shi Ran hugged the little guy in his arms, with an uncontrollable warm smile on his face.

"Of course I like children so much, when will I have one to play with?" Su Shu joked with a smile.

Shi Ran smiled and gave her a blank stare: "This matter, even in terms of age, you should be in front of me!"

"I already have a child, and the one in your arms is my godson."

"Then this is my godson too."

Gu Yaoqing was a little helpless: "The little guy still doesn't know anything! This is already three mothers!"

"Hello three mothers, I will hurt him to death in the future!"

At this moment, the little guy gradually started to cry.

"I'm hungry again..." Gu Yaoqing was a little helpless, this little guy was too good to eat.

"Is it still breast milk?"

"Ang, add milk powder to breast milk now, let him adapt to milk powder slowly..."

"Come and let him taste it." Su Shu took the little guy into his arms kindly.

"What do you want him to taste!" Shi Ran was a little dumbfounded.

"Anyway, we are all women." Su Shu really did what he said, and immediately unbuttoned him and let the little guy eat.

Seeing her actions, Gu Yaoqing and Shi Ran couldn't hold back immediately: "Why are you so tough!"

Apparently the little one couldn't get any milk from her.

But the less he could eat, the harder the little guy sucked.

"Ah... woo woo woo..." Su Shu couldn't hold back anymore: "It hurts!!"

"Give it to me quickly." Gu Yaoqing quickly picked it up.

"Hiss..." Su Shu sat on the bed and bent over, slowly massaging a few times with his hands.

Shi Ran on the side gloated and grinned from ear to ear.

night.

Su and Shu ate here.

A few people chatted about various topics and gossip in the circle, and finally the topic turned to themselves.

"Shawshank should be able to have 40 billion!"

"almost."

"Word-of-mouth is so good, it's only 40 billion, it's a pity!"

"Crime movies are like this. If it is a Hollywood-style movie with special effects that stimulate hormones, the box office will definitely be better."

"Brother Jiang, when will the next movie start?"

"I don't have a clue yet!" Jiang Shu smiled and shook his head: "I have to take a break to find inspiration."

"You finally know that you have to rest, otherwise you really think you are not a "human"." Su Shu joked with a smile.

"No way." Jiang Shu said with a smile: "The stock has been used up, and I have to find the feeling again."

Shi Ran laughed and said, "Actually, one film in two or three years is enough. Don't worry, just take your time. It's so hard, you have to enjoy it!"

"That's right." Jiang Shushen said in agreement, "So I'm going to enjoy life first."

"How do you enjoy it?"

Su Shu continued: "That's the couple's secret, how can you tell us!"

"Ha ha……"

Not long after dinner.

Su Shu and Shi Ran went to rest in the apartment that Gu Yaoqing bought before in the community.

"Seeing how cute their baby is, are you still determined not to get married?" Su Shu said to Shi Ran with a smile.

"Their babies are cute, and it doesn't matter whether they marry me or not!"

"Do you already have someone you like, and I think the person you like is..." Su Shu paused deliberately.

Shi Ran stared at her with his mouth puffed out: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"This person is me!" Su Shu chuckled and said, "Do you like me?"

Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "Hehe...why are you so self-indulgent."

"Don't be shy! I'll sleep with you tonight, and I'll make sure you're satisfied with my handicraft." Su Shu deliberately teased her, and she became more and more open-minded after knowing her for a long time.

"Pfft... roll!" Shi Ran smiled and pushed her away: "I'm straight, you can't bend me."

"I also think I'm straight, but if I don't try it, how will I know if I'm straight?"

"Haha... You are sick! Don't think I don't know why you don't fall in love."

"Why?" Su Shu looked curious.

"Because you already have someone you like, and it's obvious who that person is."

"Is it obvious? Who is it!" Su Shu expressed his doubts.

"Of course it's sister Yaoqing's...Best friend, me! Haha..." Shi Ran who was lying on the sofa laughed loudly: "But I advise you to give up! The person you like will not like you."

"Okay! I know you're straight and won't like me."

Su Shu calmed down, and her expression became serious. She sat on the sofa and raised her chin: "But you don't want to get married now. I don't know if it will change in five or ten years!"

Shi Ran smiled, but his tone was very firm: "I don't think so, I am already very content with my current life, I have good friends and girlfriends, and I don't need a husband."

Su Shu pondered for a moment: "I think so too."

The two smiled at each other.

……

"I'm going to put down my work and take a break, and I will accompany you to travel around the world in a few days!"

On the bed, Jiang Shu tilted his head and said affectionately to Gu Yao.

"I haven't seen the domestic scenery yet! Are you going to travel around the world?" Gu Yaoqing said with a smile.

"You used to run around the country every day, and you should have seen some places by the way, haven't you seen enough?"

"I haven't seen enough of you every day!"

Jiang Shu: "..."

"In the past, I just watched flowers on horseback, and I didn't appreciate them well. If I have the opportunity, I must take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."

"You make a list of the attractions you want to see, and I'll leave the rest to you." Jiang Shu climbed out of bed: "I'll make some milk powder for your son first."

"This isn't your son!" Gu Yao smiled angrily.

Contentment is a truth that everyone understands, but not many people seem to be able to do it.

Especially in the entertainment circle, which is chaotic and full of temptation and chaos, there are very few people who stick to their hearts.

Most people care more about physical pleasure, only a few want spiritual abundance.

Being able to be content and happy is even more precious.

After Jiang Shu finished making the milk powder, he took a sip to test the temperature before feeding his son.

The little guy was waving his pink hands to hold the feeding bottle, his big black eyes looked innocently and curiously at the parents in front of him, his little face was full of excitement.

Every time I see this little guy's naive and cute appearance, the two people who are nearly [-] years old just feel that their hearts are about to melt.

The initial wish of many people is probably to have a good job or a successful career that they like, have a lot of money, have a loving lover and a happy family.

This was Jiang Shu's wish in the past, and it is also the life he is living now, and he is satisfied.
