There's also this question, I don't think it has anything to do with movies, so do reporters really ask these questions, I haven't been too exposed to the kind of entertainment machine, I watch the news on TV are the kind of more serious, remember, can it be that entertainment reporters will be more yellow, more violent, if that's really the case, then I really need to prepare how to deal with their questions, and then I'll prepare well, I've been reading books all afternoon, this little book that Brother Lin gave me, I haven't read more scripts in this little book.,But there's really a lot of questions.,Brother Shulin's meaning, I guess it's for me to remember.,How to answer in general.,You don't need to remember every word and every word very clearly.,If every word has to be answered so clearly.,It's just a movie.,Or can't come a second time.,When people make a movie.,It's good that the director can do it again when he shouts the card.,But I guess those entertainment reporters won't be like this.,He won't let you answer again., In case you answer wrong, he will report truthfully, no, this should be a very, very exaggerated report, so I think when I ask questions and answers with them, you must say this thing very low, and then when they hold it out, it may be what you really want to say, their routine I suddenly understand a little now, it was sold from the book that Brother Shulin gave me, because the standard answers on Brother Shulin's book are very modest answers, it's just crazy, I suddenly felt that the entertainment industry is not particularly good or bad, and in the case of thousands of people's attention, any of your own problems will be magnified countless times.

But when I wanted to go to dinner this afternoon, that Kong Yuansheng came over, and he looked very tired, but people should be really tired, after all, he was still filming, and he had been filming for a few months, although the movie was just over an hour, but I think our Shulin brother has relatively high requirements for this movie, so many shots are re-done, re-done, and filming for six or seven months is not a problem at all, when he first saw me, he showed a very happy look, and then I was thinking about going to dinner, He pushed me back into the room directly, I don't know what he meant, big brother, you want to talk to me, let's go to dinner, let's talk while eating, but since he pushed me on the bed, of course it wasn't what you think, he sat on the other side, and then said to me very happily: "When did you come?" Didn't you say okay yesterday? I didn't hear any news about you yesterday, but today I heard the news of your coming, so I hurried over to take a look after filming? "Well, well, it seems that the plan should have come yesterday, but the plan has changed, and I don't blame me for this, I'm a small soldier, just obey the command, Brother Shulin asked me to come one day, I have to come one day.

Then I said to him, "Well, don't get excited, okay?" Let's go eat first, I'm a little hungry, let's talk while eating. ”

He scratched his head embarrassedly: "It turns out that you want to go to dinner just now, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll make amends if I leave early, I'll treat you to dinner, don't eat the buffet in this hotel, let's go eat the hotel's stir-fry, just chat with you, I have a lot of questions I want to ask you." I'm quite inexplicable about this sentence, you want to ask me a lot of questions, what questions do you ask me? In fact, to be honest, I really don't know him very well, although it has been filmed for a long time, but compared to the relationship with Qu Yang, it feels far worse, how can it be said that he is a better friend, after all, he has been together for so long, and he has helped me a lot, he can be regarded as my little brother, an elder brother like Brother Yuanzhi.

I didn't say much else, I just said yes, and then we went to eat, and he took me to a small private room in a hotel, this is a small private room specially prepared for eating, it feels like Japanese food, of course, I haven't eaten Japanese food, I've seen it on TV, what am I doing with that? It feels very expensive, so I haven't stepped in, anyway, I didn't want to go in when I saw those well-decorated stores before, because the consumption was too high, and the money I earned was not particularly much, and the kind of place was still relatively prosperous and promoted, but for the kind of stores on Meituan, I would choose to step in, because I had already set it on Meituan, and I was very confident, but now I believe how much can a person eat for a meal, a thousand yuan is the most, I really don't believe it, A meal is 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are just like that, why does this small private room feel like Japanese food? There is that table, the table is very small, there is a small bench, although it is not said to be eaten on knees, but this bench is not particularly high, it may be a remodeled Japanese food, anyway, I don't know much about this thing, and secondly, I don't particularly like to eat Japanese things, I feel that Chinese things can't be eaten, Chinese food is different everywhere, this is a place that I feel the most, when I used to study relatively less nervous, my father once took me to a foreign place to eat, that place to eat, It's a completely different way of eating from our hometown, but it tastes very good, so the place in China, especially for eating this thing, is simply very thoroughly studied, I believe in our country's things, a lot, so if you want to taste food, you don't need to go to a foreign country at all, it seems that there is a joke that says, there is a foreign friend, who wants to come to China and say that he wants to eat all the Chinese food, and then stayed in Sichuan for three and a half years and has not gone out, whether this joke is true or false, regardless of the moment, Whether it's true that he stayed in Sichuan for so long is not a matter of discussion, but this paragraph really accurately illustrates how much Chinese cuisine there is.

Then Kong Yunsheng asked me what I needed to order, and when he brought the menu to me, in fact, none of the pictures I saw were particularly appetizing, so it was better to go to the hotel buffet, but people were kind, and if I said it, it would hurt people's hearts, especially slapping people's faces, and then I smiled and said to him: "Oh, you can decide to have a meal, just order a few dishes, don't waste too much, the two of us can't eat much." The latter sentence is my sincerity, although I said that I survived, but I really can't eat too much.

So, he ordered a few dishes casually, and then shouted at the waiter, and after saying a few words to the waiter, the waiter left, but the attitude of those waiters is still good, it is worthy of a big hotel, I feel that this hotel can feed all the people by relying on this crew, after all, there are still a lot of rich people, in fact, most of those who eat buffets are staff, if you want to say some big actors, big stars, you will definitely choose to fry it, huh? Why does this sentence make me feel so rustic, should I say that I went to a private room to eat, and I fried it, and I went back to my university?

While waiting for the food to be served, I asked Kong Yuansheng: "Kong Yuansheng, have you been busy filming recently?" Do you still have a filming assignment tonight? ”

"Oops, it's finally almost finished," Kong Yuansheng said excitedly, "You have been idle in the past few months, you don't know how tired we are, it's just a response to that sentence, tired into a dog, it's been filming day and night, it's been a few days after the New Year, the most tired days are left to us, make up for all the New Year's falls, it's almost exhausting me, I can't sleep well in those days, my dreams are filming, you're coming, I also knew that it meant that I was about to go to publicity, but when you went to promote, we still had to film for a few days, and we would go directly to it in a few days, so I was still not able to be idle and was about to tire me out. ”

Hey, this guy is cheap and well-behaved, and he is the number one male himself, can he not be tired? I'm sure I have a lot of scenes, of course, I still have to choose to comfort him: "Okay, okay, don't complain, you make the most money, and you may become a big star in the future, don't forget me."

He smiled: "Hey, what a big star, it's just a nobody, this movie is what the sponsor wants...... Forget it, how about not talking about it? I've been very comfortable in school lately, I definitely don't need to go to class, and there is no teacher to control you, so you can do whatever you want. "I understand what he said earlier, I guess the purpose of this movie is not particularly simple, if a movie wants to get a big box office, the script must be very important, especially the story structure, and the second important thing is to need a star who can calm the audience, the additional benefits brought by a star, and sometimes even more than the story itself, this is called the fan economy, but this film is all used by some newcomers, and even people who have not graduated from school, There is not even a big star who can be familiar to the national audience, but although the publicity is a bit big, but I think the box office of this movie is not so good, although I should have confidence in my movie, but I think this is the case, the probability of a high box office is not particularly large, but I feel that there is still a certain relationship with Brother Lin, talking about knowing books, Brother Lin is not particularly much, but the popularity of Brother Lin in the circle is still relatively high, I feel that he is still the kind of response, But it's a low-key person, so he may have other plans to make him a director, at least that's how I feel.

I said to Kong Yuansheng: "You are right about this, I am really doing nonsense in school, I can do whatever I want, but it is not particularly good, now my motivation to study is completely gone, it is okay not to go to class, it is okay to go to class, of course I will choose not to go to class, I have been controlled too much before, so now when I relax, I am completely indulging myself."

He laughed: "I used to be like this, I remember that after I filmed a scene, the school attached great importance to me, and they didn't care what I did, so I felt more inflated at that time, and I looked down on you, but it was good to be beaten up." Well, he still has such an experience, he was beaten by someone, was he beaten by Qiyang?

Then I went on to ask him, "And then?" And then what happened? Who beat me up? Is it some other gangster? A little thug like you. ”

"You're right, but it's not in the entertainment industry, it's a sneak attack, and I said that I shouldn't be so arrogant at school, and then I was at school, not so arrogant, I was scared, I was dragged to an alley, beaten wildly, put on a sack, you said I was wronged." It turns out that he still has such an experience, he was dragged to the mouth of the alley and beaten, how arrogant he is, how hated he is to have such a result, no wonder he is so honest now, it turns out that he has been beaten, or the person who said that sentence is just not cleaned up, and it is much more honest to clean up.

I nodded at him, agreed with him, and said, "It's not a bad beating, you really deserve to be beaten." And then I started to serve the dish as soon as I spoke, oops, it was quite fast, and it took five or six minutes to speak, and the dish came up, but from the color and taste of the dish, I felt a little dissatisfied, because there was no such characteristic of Chinese food, it was hot and hot, could it be said that this was a cold dish? And I don't know how to eat foreign food, will I be embarrassed in front of him?

I think it's better to ask in advance: "That space, right?" Is there anything special about eating this dish? Do you eat with chopsticks or with a knife and fork? "Until now, I haven't found a trace of chopsticks, if it's Chinese food, the plate and disposable chopsticks have been placed in front of us, but until now I haven't found anything that can assist me in eating except for a napkin, but after a while, this waiter came up again, and the thing that came up made me cry, it was actually chopsticks, that is, the pair of chopsticks I was familiar with, I have never been more excited than I saw him at this time, It turns out that the so-called Japanese food is also eaten with chopsticks, of course, this is really not Japanese food, I only found out afterwards, anyway, I don't know today, and then I excitedly picked up the chopsticks, to eat this thing, I and he are just two people, there is no need for so many things, there is no need to be polite, I checked this messy color thing, but although the color is messy, it is not a hot look, but this thing is indeed hot, and then I can still distinguish the ingredients inside, is this color and fragrance, this color is not quite in line with the aesthetic standards of the Chinese, at least I think so, eat a bite I think it's okay, but I think it's limited to can, of course, maybe it's the first time I eat this thing, anyway, I just think it's not as good as the spicy chicken fried at our doorstep, that thing to eat more, this is comparable, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, this thing can be eaten for the time being and doesn't affect my appetite too much.

However, Kong Yuansheng asked me with a smile across from me: "This rice is okay, I often eat this, so how about I taste the delicious food I want to eat."

Well, I don't think it's too delicious, but I think I still have to give him a lot of respect, so I said to Kong Yuansheng: "That's okay, it's okay, it's good." I can only say this, in fact, people who know me know that once I speak is okay, okay, when I can, that is equivalent to general, or not at all, but if I say it's very good, then I think this thing is really very, but I feel that this point is different from Qiyang, please forgive this person is more like to take care of people's feelings, generally when he says it's generally okay, it means that this thing is really, really bad, really, really not good, I understand his statement too well, because of this kind of thing, he has said it many times, and then when he says that it is really good, it means that this thing can only be said to be average, if he says that it is quite good, it means that this thing is okay, generally above, Qi Yang basically speaks like this.

Soon the second dish came up, this private room does not have a Chinese feeling, it seems particularly deserted, although this private room is not particularly large, but it just gives me a cold and lonely feeling, and this dish looks hot, there is indeed no little heat, nor can it be said that there is no little enthusiasm, how much there is a little, but there is no feeling of eating, I think the high-end restaurant is like this, or don't eat in a high-end restaurant, it feels really boring.

Then I began to copy the second dish, the second dish is okay, I am still an authentic Chinese, or prefer to eat some traditional Chinese dishes, put some soy sauce vinegar and the like, feel that the dish is very cold, I mean very cold means that there seems not to be too many colored seasonings, so this dish appears to be very pure in color, completely as if it has not been cooked, I feel that this is a source of wealth What does it look like? It's still like that, maybe it's a way for them to express their culture.

Then three or four dishes were served one after another, and it was almost the same anyway, I said to Kong Yuansheng, "How many dishes have you ordered?" How do you feel so much? "The main thing is that the plate they serve is quite big, no matter what kind of cuisine, it feels like the plate is quite big, but if you really eat it, it is very small, although his plate is big, but the things put are not particularly much, and the division is quite careful, anyway, I just eat casually, I don't care if Kong Xiangsheng laughs at me or not, in fact, I really don't know how to eat this dish, should I eat this first, and then eat that to be able to taste this real taste? Is it to dip this first and that, and then that, so that it can be delicious, I don't bother to understand this, anyway, I can eat enough.

Kong Yuansheng is also eating very messily, as if he doesn't eat in any order, so I am much more relieved, indicating that maybe I am eating quite right, and then he said to me: "There are still a lot, there are three or four, but you look at the plates, in fact, the real food is not particularly much, eat slowly, I haven't eaten enough." Well, big brother, it turns out that you still know about this, oops, it's better to go to the hotel to eat buffet, you can eat as much as you want, now if I have more again, it seems to feel very embarrassing, after all, there are a lot of plates there, although the things in it are not particularly much, in case others see me eat so many plates of things, and think I am a rice bucket.

The main thing is that the prices of the dishes I see are not particularly cheap, hey, why are you embarrassed to charge so much? It's not delicious and so expensive, I really don't know how you maintain your business, in fact, when I ordered a dish just now, I secretly glanced at the price a few times, anyway, it's not less than a hundred yuan, and now I've eaten seven or eight plates, all of which are seven or eight hundred yuan, oops, what a waste, seven or eight hundred yuan I can invite them to a good meal in the city where I was in college, quite a waste, I knew I really wouldn't come to eat, I swear that next time he invited me to eat my thing, I'm never right not to come, the main thing is that this is too big, there is no free lunch in the world, he invited me to eat so much, I must also invite the past, but if I want to invite him to dinner, it must cost a thing of about the same price, but I don't think it's worth it, he spent seven or eight hundred for me, I feel as if I spent forty or fifty for me, anyone thinks it's not worth it, and I think it's not worth it, the key is that it's not delicious, innovation is there, but what I want is a taste, What's the use of you making it look good, no, it should be said that it's not particularly good-looking, oops, it's a real headache, there are such useless things in the world, this may be the so-called high-end and upper-class society.

Then I put on a lot of things, and finally in the last few plates, I was finally full, but I was full, I spent nearly 40 minutes to eat, if I hadn't eaten enough, I really killed myself, if I was in the self-help under the hotel, I would be able to eat in ten minutes, this meal I was quite unsmooth, because I had to say thank you to Kong Yuansheng in the end, you said that I didn't lose it, it was just a loss, if it wasn't for watching him help me get two traffic cards, I would have beaten him to death a long time ago.

After eating, he and I chatted here for a while, and the things we talked about were nothing more than filming, and when he asked me to go outside to promote, if there was a reporter asking questions, let me answer as little as possible, and use concise language, but I must not forget to smile, because if you don't laugh, that reporter will write down a lot of things, not just a reporter, but also many reporters will write like this, so let me have to laugh, and finally talk about a useful topic, It just so happens that he has definitely been interviewed by reporters, and he also has experience, so I can ask him for advice in this place, but I suddenly feel that why should I ask him, Brother Shulin must have more situations than he encountered, why not just ask Brother Shulin? But I think it's better to give people a face, first of all, Brother Shulin is a director, and he may ask different questions, and secondly, it's still that sentence, give him a face, he said so.

So, I held him high, and I said to Kong Yuansheng: "Tell me, if there is anything else you need to pay attention to, tell me at one time, anyway, you have also been interviewed by reporters, right?" Are those reporters of Entertainment Weekly very different from the usual news reporters? ”

Kong Yuansheng tapped me with his finger and said to me with a smile: "You're right, it's different, it's quite different, the questions interviewed by those news reporters are completely different from those of the reporters of the Entertainment Weekly, the Entertainment Weekly, the interview is about some entertainment things, otherwise how can it win people's attention and make people pay attention to it, first of all, people must ask some personal questions, and then they ask about the topic, like movies and TV series, so I feel that they are not doing their job, in fact, I have not been interviewed many times, It's a little too arrogant to preach you.,But I can still explain this thing to you.,But don't listen to me completely.,Sometimes it's good to make yourself yourself.,Those sentences.,Generally ask newcomers.,Don't ask some questions that are too private,"This really makes me guess right.,Because asking some newcomers to ask some private questions.,There's no explosion at all.,What is that thing for?" There is no point, ask what is it for, no one pays attention, that is to say, there is no explosion point at this point, and then Kong Yuansheng continued, "So you may not need to worry too much about that question at this time, it is generally a big star who is asked this kind of question, and it is controversial about marriage, single, etc., etc., anyway, it is related to the above, so you will be asked some personal questions, and then the questions are basically the criteria for choosing a mate, Anyway, the topic of the opposite sex is the topic that can make those reporters the most excited, what they can really eat, rest assured that they are not afraid of retaliation after asking those questions, that is, they have dinner, he is not afraid that you will not retaliate against those small revenge, it will make him have more things to write, unless it is those big guys who can press him to death all at once, of course, people don't want to live, some questions people know who to ask and who not to ask, people are clear in their hearts, so this kind of question is generally asked, It may be something that can be provoked, something that can't be provoked, generally very low-key, in the entertainment industry, you see people who can stand in front of the public screen, most of them can afford to be provoked, you are watching some of those who are very low-key, may not have been the protagonist, but have been in the supporting role, but you have never heard of any news about him, either a real trick, or a big guy, oops, what am I saying this, it seems to be a bit off-topic, going on, it's about movies and TV series, Anyway, it seems that the director will give you a script, you can just follow the above, it should be like this for newcomers, and then what questions may be asked to you in the future? It's a newcomer, how do you get into this crew, if you are selected, you will be asked a series of questions and so on, anyway, the questions are endless, but you can choose not to answer, but don't answer them all, you can pretend that a few didn't hear it, pick up a few irrelevant questions and ask them, because there may be a lot of people asking, I'm talking about the kind of unorderly asking a price, some press conferences will let reporters ask some questions in an orderly manner, there is no way to do that, you have to answer, Of course, as a newcomer, you may be asked very few questions, and you are not a female No. 1 female No. 2, so you don't need to worry about this, but you still have to write it down, some reporters like to play unpopular, anyway, there is nothing to do next, and the answer will be fluent in the future, and you will be able to stand in front of the camera, not nervous, and the answer will be fluent. "Although it was useless to say that he said a lot, and said some digressions to me, I was still very grateful to him, he told me so much, and then we got up, and while talking on the way back, she still followed me into my room, which made me mumble a little, what if I was photographed, and what did he do in my room, but I felt that I had no good reason to refuse him.

He was not polite, as soon as he entered my room, he lay directly on my bed and shouted: "Oh, I finally don't have to film tonight, can I rest for a day?" Actually, I don't mind if you shoot tonight or not, can you say that I am very happy for you to have a night off today, but are you sure you want to lie in this bed and sleep?

I'm still really embarrassed to let him go, I'm the kind of person who is very soft-hearted, and it's not easy to say no, so I had to open my notebook and snub him first, but I still answered him: "If you don't film today, when will you go to film tomorrow?"

He turned over comfortably, then found my pillow, put his head under my pillow and said to me: "I will continue filming tomorrow morning, but I feel that it is almost over, because a lot of it has been completed, I looked at it, there are a few scenes in the script that have not been filmed, and after filming these scenes, I guess I can finish it, and I can finally relax." Hehe, you can finally relax, you earn more money than me, I estimate that his expenses must be able to reach one or two million, of course, I may not remember, there may be more than this, I heard that some popular stars are one or two hundred million, and when I look at this comparison with me, I suddenly feel that my little money is really not money, it seems to be a little cold.

Then I smiled and said to him, "Congratulations." While perfunctory her,While opening a TV series on the notebook and watching it,Originally, I had a game on it.,I didn't play the game.,What if he also likes to play this League of Legends? If you want to play with me here, wouldn't my mind be shattered, I originally wanted him to go, and then take a good look at the things that Brother Shulin gave me for a while, and then play League of Legends for a while and you can sleep, but the premise of doing this thing is to let him go first, of course, I also opened the League of Legends on my phone, to see who my friend is online, I found that Qiyang is not online, I calculated the time, I guess he is still in the library, and then I sent him a message, asking where he is, Look at the words of other friends, Mo Xiang is not online, Xiaofeng is not sad, but Li Qing is online, and the people of his team are online, except for Qi Yang, I said that Yang should also go, didn't he say that he was almost finished, it should have been written by now, he said that he still had to participate in training, but I thought about it, he may have trained by himself, using another number, because Li Qing and the five people in his team are all online, and they are all in the game, which means that there is no way for one person to participate in the game, Maybe it's just to raise with another number.,Hit the ranking yourself.,I'll see if I'm guessing right.,I opened the trumpet in my other districts.,I applied a lot.,The trumpets have been added.,As for why.,I just want to see which district to play in.,Can you bring me with me.,And it's not particularly troublesome for me to log in with my mobile phone.,Just need to change the region.,Sure enough,I finally found this guy in a place.,This guy is in the game.,But this region number, He hasn't reached level 30 yet, he's playing matching, and the hero of the game is still Yasuo, I hurriedly sent him a message, asking him if he would play together later, but I really should find a way to get this guy away now, does he still want to have supper at my place, and he's not here, and I can't take a shower, what do you say you're doing in a girl's room? I don't want to go, do you want to face, I want to take a shower now, and then take a little supper to come over, sit next to the computer and play games, in fact, when I got this computer, I haven't used my computer well, this computer played once with Qiyang at that time, but afterwards I actually didn't play very much, but this laptop is really not covered, it's quite good, play up, League of Legends is not stuck at all, compared to those Internet cafes, some desktops are faster, Entering the game is quite fast,The delay is about eighteen or nineteen,At most, it's 22,That's pretty fast,I'm quite satisfied with this computer,Qi Yang and I told you that League of Legends is actually not a large game,A large game has dozens of G,League of Legends is about 4 to 5G。

I saw that he hadn't left yet, and had been chatting with me, although I had been perfunctory to him, uh-huh, but he didn't seem to feel that I was perfunctory to him, and wanted to drive him away, he had been here and didn't leave, so I had to say to him very cautiously: "That Kong Yuansheng, are you tired?" I've seen that you're quite tired from filming today, why don't you go back and rest first, how about I invite you to dinner tomorrow? "In order to drive him away, I even used the trick of eating, and it seems that tomorrow I will pay a big price, woo woo, I don't know my money yet, when will the next movie be made? It's going to cost a lot of money now.

Who knew that he was completely puzzled: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll invite you tomorrow, I'm very tired from filming today, but I'm very happy after seeing you, so I don't feel tired in an instant."

But at this time, just as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a knock at the door, wow, it is likely that Brother Shulin and Lin Jie finally came to rescue me, and I was moved by their eyes! I hurriedly opened the door and closed the computer first, in fact, I didn't know what I was watching for half a day, just watching this TV series go down, I also deliberately found a very difficult TV series, I'm afraid that she also likes to watch it, and she also watches this TV series next to me, so it's a big trouble.

I opened the door and looked, sure enough, it was Brother Shulin and Sister Linyin who came over, in fact, it was the two of them, or one of them, because I really don't know a lot of people in this place, female No. 1 and No. 2, although I know them all, but the relationship is really not particularly good, I guess they will never come to see me for me, that is, Sister Shulin Gelinyin, finally, at this time, he was a little embarrassed, I was talking about Kong Yuansheng, and then he said hello to Brother Shulin and Sister Linyin, After saying a word or two, I left in a hurry, haha, I suddenly felt very happy.

I believe that Brother Shulin and Sister Linyin can't stay for too long, and my ideal of playing games can still be realized, and then Brother Shulin and Sister Linyin found a place to sit down, and I poured a little water for them with disposable cups, in fact, I also blamed me, there should be one or two cups in the room, I only brought cups for myself, so I put two disposable cups, put a drop of tea leaves, and then put them in front of them, and poured them well.

Then Sister Linyin asked me, "What is Kong Yuansheng doing here?"

"Oh, he heard that I was coming, so he came over and happened to be chatting here," I immediately explained to Sister Linyin, "Sister Linyin, are you done with today's business?" ”

"Well, it's almost busy, but there are things every day, you can still be busy if you want to trouble, I came here today mainly to talk about your affairs, you take a day off first, and officially go to another city on Monday to do publicity, so I said to pack up in advance, and make it clear what you should memorize, although most of them may not be used, but just in case, who knows what will happen? Well, when the time comes, try to be as concise as possible, and then try to have some entertaining smiles on your face, you have been to this kind of school, you should know what it means to have an entertaining style? "Sister Linyin told me very formally.

I hurriedly nodded: "Okay, okay, Sister Linyin, I know."
