Chapter 120

February 2002, 2, eight o'clock at night.

Sitting on the balcony of his own house, looking at the brightly lit scene on the street, Cao Qing's body slumped into a ball on the rattan chair, like a puddle of mud, without any energy.

At this time, seven months have passed since the start of the production of "Cohabitation in Time and Space", and within seven months, not only has an extremely prosperous and fashionable commercial street appeared on the streets of Xuhui District in the magical city, but also During these seven months, Cao Qing's wealth and honor also reached a peak.

But probably because he wanted to wear the crown and must bear its weight, in the second half of 2001 when his career was extremely proud, his love life seemed to be deliberately contrary to the glory of his career. It was simply a mess. .

The first was September 2001, which was quite a busy month.

During this month, Cao Qing not only won the 21st Huaguo Film Golden Rooster Awards (closing ceremony of the 10th Huaguo Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival) with his third film "The Great Master", he also successfully defeated the veteran Huo Jianqi. The director's "Blue Love" won the Best Director Award.

And even Jin Xiaoxiao, who starred in his movie, successfully won the 21st Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress nomination for this "The Grandmaster", officially making a name for himself in the entire Huaguo entertainment circle.

But at the same time, because the entire Golden Rooster Awards hosted by Zhang Guoli and Cao Ying were broadcast live by CCTV, Lin Zhiling, who was already extremely sensitive and anxious because she was seven months pregnant and about to enter the labor period, suddenly He was successfully stimulated by the scene of Cao Qing and Jin Xiaoxiao walking hand in hand on the red carpet at this Golden Rooster Awards.

So quite logically, Cao Qing, who had just returned from winning the Golden Rooster Awards the next day, was confronted with all kinds of cold stares, sarcasm and sarcasm from Lin Zhiling as soon as she entered the door. The originally harmonious relationship between the two suddenly entered a cold war period.

After half a month of stalemate, probably unable to bear the cold war atmosphere, Lin Zhiling actually called Jin Xiaoxiao directly, and clearly stated her current relationship with Cao Qing.

Regarding the fact that Lin Zhiling called her, Jin Xiaoxiao said nothing during the phone call with Lin Zhiling, and her mood was always calm and elegant. However, after Lin Zhiling hung up the phone, she immediately called her the next second. Cao Qing called.

During this phone call, Jin Xiaoxiao rarely lost her grace and demeanor. She even cursed and yelled at Cao Qing directly on the phone.

For such a manic state of hers, Cao Qing, who forbade himself to make mistakes, could only keep listening the whole time, not daring to refute at all.

After waiting until Jin Xiaoxiao's tone on the other end of the phone finally calmed down a bit, Cao Qing said in Shen Ning, frowning:

"Sorry, I didn't intend to hide this matter from you, but I didn't find the right time to talk to you for a while. I'm really too afraid of losing you."

"About Lin Zhiling, I was only planning to have fun with her, and even she knows this well."

"And in order to avoid accidents, I always wear safety measures every time I go to bed with her."

"It's just that I didn't expect that even though she was so well-prepared, she was still pregnant."

"Later, I checked the monitor. Although I didn't find any specific evidence, I guess she must have touched the safety equipment I put in the drawer. It might be a needle or something else. In short This pregnancy was carefully planned by herself."

"This woman probably figured it out that I was born as an orphan, and she was not willing to be irresponsible to her children and let them fall into the same situation as me, so she acted very quickly and decisively on this point."

While talking, Cao Qing suddenly laughed at himself, bowed his head in silence for a few seconds, and then continued:
"But on this point, she probably miscalculated. Although I will not kill this child, I will not be cruel enough to be irresponsible to this child. But I recognize the child, and I don't necessarily have to be a mother. She gets married."

"After all, she is of course top-notch as a mistress and girlfriend, but if she wants to enter into a marriage relationship, no matter from which point of view, she does not meet the appearance of a qualified wife in my mind."

"At this point, I think you, who are also career monsters, can probably understand. After all, we have always been sufficiently unified and synchronized in terms of ambition."

After finishing speaking, Cao Qing, who had gradually calmed down from the huge shock after receiving a phone call from Jin Xiaoxiao, looked at the call interface on the mobile phone in his hand, and after several calculations in his heart, his tone became more determined, and he continued to speak:

"For me, an orphan, I actually find it difficult to understand such things as family. After all, I haven't had such things since I was a child, and I have never felt the same way."

"Under the circumstance that I have never enjoyed this kind of care since I was a child, it is really hard for me to imagine how to form a qualified family with others. The word family is too important to me, and I never want to touch it casually." it."

Hearing Cao Qing's words, the other end of the phone was silent for about a minute or two before finally speaking.

"As for your feeling, the emotion of being hurt by your original family, I can understand, but I don't agree with it."

"In this regard, although I am not an orphan like you, but because I am a daughter, I have not been seen by my family and relatives since I was a child, even though I have the same blood from my parents as my brother , but we have always been very different in terms of treatment.”

"But even so, even though I inevitably have these hurts from my original family in my heart, I still think your words are all excuses. You can say that you don't like Lin Zhiling, but one day you will still have married."

"As for what you said to me today, I don't know how to respond to you, but there is one thing I hope you can do, that is, for the child who is about to be born from her belly, As a matter of course, you should be responsible and give him the love from your father."

"As for other things, I don't plan to think about it for the time being. Let's keep a certain distance for the time being. We'll see how the situation develops after the child is born."

On the phone, Jin Xiaoxiao spoke with a rare hesitation and lack of confidence. In the end, when she said that she would wait for the child's accident to see how the situation develops, her tone was even more embarrassing.

And Cao Qing, who probably heard the complex emotions in Jin Xiaoxiao's heart from the phone, smiled with relief on his face, knowing that the most dangerous period of this sudden incident has passed, and he did not continue to say anything to Jin Xiaoxiao at this juncture. She adds psychological stress.

He only said a few words in a soft voice, and then hung up the phone quite decisively, leaving Jin on the other end of the phone smiling and continuing to be confused and thinking alone.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Qing did not go to Lin Zhiling to trouble him. Knowing that it would not help since the matter had already happened, he instead said a lot of sweet words to Lin Zhiling and silently explained the matter directly. The article is over.

In this way, under Cao Qing's means of Neptune, the time soon came to November.

On November 2001, 11, the crystallization of love between him and Lin Zhiling was finally born safely in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

As for the birth of this child, Cao Qing had already had countless plans in his mind, but the moment he actually saw the face of this newborn, all the calculations and calculations in his mind disappeared immediately.

Looking at the wrinkled little life in his arms, Cao Qing finally had a clear sense of family responsibility for the first time.

So, on the day when the child was full moon, he not only generously gave Lin Zhiling two townhouses in the Hongqiao area of ​​Shanghai, but also bought her an Audi a6.

And besides that, he even told Lin Zhiling explicitly on the day of the full moon that when Cao Xuan, the child born to Cao Qing and Lin Zhiling, turned one year old, he would still have two houses for Lin Zhiling and one for Yin Tao after he gave them to Lin Zhiling. The remaining nine townhouses in the Hongqiao area of ​​Shanghai will all be registered under the child's name, so that he will no longer have to worry about money since he was born.

Obviously, Lin Zhiling was quite satisfied with Cao Qing's generous gift. After Cao Qing gave her and the child this generous gift, she not only stopped urging Cao Qing to marry her every now and then, but also her service attitude was visible to the naked eye. get better.

However, even if Lin Zhiling was solved, Cao Qing was still unable to restore the close relationship between her and himself with the other woman, Jin Xiaoxiao.

Regarding this point, even though Cao Qing talked to Jin Xiaoxiao many times after her child Cao Xuan was born, she always dragged her into other issues.

In desperation, Cao Qing could only focus on his own movies and the development of the company's career. In this regard, Jin Xiaoxiao did not slack off at all due to changes in emotional relationships, and it was probably even because he had just obtained a small amount of equity and shares in the company. Relationship, her current work attitude is quite positive and enterprising.

On the contrary, there are three of them, Huang Bo, Liu Yijun, and Sun Honglei. The three of them are probably due to the current rapid progress in the career of actors and the reduction and dilution of the company's internal equity shares. As for the company's affairs, as long as they are not related to themselves, they have Don't intervene at all.

Huang Bo, among the three of them, owns 10% of the shares in the "Gold Medal Hu Hot Soup" chain company, which is the company created by Cao Qing's purchase of Lao Liutou's formula. Calling others, working hard to manage the franchise business of the "Gold Medal Hu Hot Soup" chain company.

It was under such circumstances that with the help of Huang Bo, Jin Xiaoxiao and many other capable assistants, Cao Qing, who was able to devote himself to filming his fourth film "Cohabitation in Time and Space", finally made his debut on February 2002, 2. The day the film was finished.

The next day, after enjoying the wrap-up banquet with many actors from the crew of "Cohabitation in Time and Space", Cao Qing started to carry out a large-scale promotional campaign for the movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space" again.

Cao Qing is familiar with the means of buying sailors, going to Happy Camp, and hyping up romances in the drama "Cohabitation in Time and Space".

As for Cao Qing's routines, in 2002, when there were not as many hype tricks as later generations, the reporters of the major news media were obviously very interested.

Soon, Cao Qing saw the love news between himself and Jun Ji-hyun in many media reports. The headlines of those big media reports are not too exaggerated, usually it is "Genius director Cao Qing and Korean female star Jun Ji-hyun under his command because of drama Love!", "Genius director Cao Qing loves Korean actress" and other normal entertainment news headlines, but the headlines on some unscrupulous tabloids are eye-catching.

Some reports completely disregarding the facts, such as "director Cao Qing forced unspoken rules on female artists under the crew", "Jeon Ji-hyun gave birth to a child out of wedlock", "director Cao Qing and Korean artist Jun Ji-hyun went out late at night" and other reports that completely ignored the facts. The tabloid issued a lawyer's letter.

But when Cao Qing read through these news reports, he found that this group of people was the essence of the reports of the UC Shock Department in later generations, that is, although their news headlines were extremely exaggerated, the contents of the reports were extremely serious.

Faced with such deceptive news headlines, after Cao Qing saw that there was no problem with the content, even though he still felt a lot of discomfort in his heart, he no longer had the urge to send a lawyer's letter to these tabloids.

Even after struggling for a while, Cao Qing, who thoroughly explained this issue to Lin Zhiling, would pair up with Jun Zhixian to appear in front of the public from time to time, trying to maintain the enthusiasm of the news.

Finally, with Jun Ji-hyun's willingness to cooperate, the rumored relationship between her and Cao Qing was successfully maintained until the premiere of the movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space" on March 3.

On this day, the whole of China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) simultaneously ushered in the premiere of Cao's movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space". It was also on this day that Cao Qing not only successfully refreshed his film career The box office record of the premiere in China, and the outside world shouted wolf.

The national film scheduling rate was 38.15%, and the average attendance rate of theaters nationwide was 89.22%. The total box office of the day was 1013.45 million yuan.

Among them, the movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space" in the Bay Area did not achieve much box office results, but in Hong Kong Island, the first-day box office results of this movie even surpassed many local films in Hong Kong Island. The popularity of 237.15 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, even though the number of people watching this movie on Hong Kong Island is far greater than that of Wanwan, it is still only a younger brother compared to the mainland.

On the land of Huaguo on March 3st, as long as there are movie theaters where "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is showing, there will be a long line of people and a long queue at the entrance of them.
