Fingers touching the thin and light laptop keyboard with little force, like a drop of water clicking, combined with the rattling of an old-fashioned wall clock that still beats in the room, makes you sleepy and creates a picture of peace and harmony in your mind.

Enter the last punctuation mark, accompanied by a long breath, rub the thumbs of both hands in turn on the fingers of the other fingers, eliminate the slight numbness, pick up the ring, wear it on the fingers with thick bone knots and calloused palms, and drink the pure water that has become cold.

"Alas......"

The black-framed glasses were removed, the corners of his eyes were rubbed, his waist was relaxed, he let out a long sigh, turned his head, and the lame man was sleeping on the bar, occasionally kicking his legs, and I didn't know what kind of dream he was having.

The time had reached half past twelve, and before I knew it, the flow of time began to gradually accelerate, ending another year's journey with a trance that made everyone feel like they had traveled through time and space.

It's the Spring Festival.

The city has not yet banned the use of firecrackers, and the people who had eaten earlier had already begun to set off firecrackers, and with a bang, the frightened lame man shivered, woke up, raised his head, licked his lips, and went back to sleep.

He went home before the new year, and today he went to the store to post a couplet, and to do a cleaning and dusting, and to welcome the New Year cleanly.

After eating at seven o'clock in the morning, he had no food in his stomach until now, his hungry stomach clanged, he went to the kitchen and cut half of the Russian red sausage that Lucas sent to him, played it in the microwave for half a minute, and saved the document while gnawing on it, and it took nearly three months for him to finally finish the first book in his life.

The whole book is about 150,000 words, and even if it is a self-summarized theory, it takes a lot of twists and turns to write on the surface of the volume, after all, it is not easy to colloquial and easy to understand the skills you have mastered.

The red sausage was salty, and as soon as he got up to receive a glass of water, he turned around and found that the remaining sausage butt was inexplicably missing, and the lame man was gone.

I didn't care too much, and continued to think about which publishing house to cooperate with in China for this book, although he didn't write this book for money, but the channels are bigger, and the sales are better, and it's not a waste of his hard work, isn't it?

After choosing the target, he doesn't have to worry about the rest, otherwise why hire an agent? sent a short message to Wang Zixuan, and after getting a reply, he picked up the lame man hiding behind the bar and stealing food, slumped on the bench to connect to the VPN, and swiped up overseas social software.

Even in China, he has been paying attention to the progress of the "Exile" incident, and it is very strange that "Exile", which everyone shouted and beat a few days ago, has now become a popular bait abroad, especially after several major animal protection organizations in Europe have been forwarded one by one, Mickey's film that is openly and secretly satirizing animal protection activists has become the new "Bible" for animal protection activists.

The very strange guidance of public opinion made Lu Ze, who did not know the truth, a little surprised, and could only sigh that human nature is very complex, but it is very fragile, just the change in the direction of public opinion can change the thinking of a group of people.

Public opinion attacks are not uncommon in any country, but the progress of such a slap in the face can still be accepted by these "kind people" with an open mind, even Mickey, who has been scolded for a long time, is also deliberately helped by the media and animal protection organizations, just because of the reconciliation with the extreme animal protection people who smashed the company and quickly whitewashed, a series of wind directions make Lu Ze feel that life seems to have become magical.

But in any case, this is a good thing for Mickey, for Lu Ze, and for Universal Brothers Pictures, not to mention how much box office activists have contributed to "Exile" now.

The fact that Global Brothers has gained huge attention and fame alone is enough to make the company's valuation rise so much that it has become a sweet spot in the eyes of many investment companies.

glanced at the comment area, and now they are all praising the depth of the movie, the former insults should be deleted, and the sinking should be sinked, and there is no trace of them after turning several pages, and it is determined that the direction of the wind has not changed, Lu Ze also put his mind at ease, and the lame man is assured of the cat bag, and after tidying up the tavern for the last time this year, it will be closed.

There is a blue Raptor parked at the door, and the newly-replaced, original NIO has been disposed of in the second-hand market, because the problem of power loss under low battery conditions has not been solved so far.

Even if there is no situation of throwing on the side of the road, but it is really bad to look at the mileage with fear at all times, he is not a bad person, he simply changed to a worry-free car, and has a good off-road and cargo carrying capacity, it is more convenient to pull some goods or pick up the mountain to pick mushrooms and play pine nuts to go home.

The most comfortable thing is that this economy is still regressing in a small city, there are fewer vehicles, and there are no regulations on pickup trucks, and sometimes you can even see donkey carts selling some vegetables and fruits on the side of the road, this road condition makes even if it is nearly six meters old when driving can still maintain a good posture, which is the main reason for Lu Ze to buy pickup trucks, as for the fifteen years of mandatory scrapping......

Are you mentioning this to Lu Ze?

Compared with the first-tier cities that wander around during the New Year's holidays, the areas with serious population loss become lively at this time, and the streets are full of children and young people who come out to play, and the streets are filled with immature laughter that can rarely be heard on weekdays, as if the old and lifeless town suddenly rejuvenates at this moment, and re-exudes the vitality of a city.

Quickly pull the car door and get into the car that has already been hot, for fear that this eleven-year-old cat will be frozen, after all, it is an older cat, even if the body is good, except for a lame leg, there is nothing wrong with it, but the resistance is weakened is helpless.

In the short drive, he was also unlucky, the car was thrown out by the small whip thrown by the child to collapse, the car cover was broken out of a few white spots, the scared child stood stupidly on the side of the road and did not dare to move, the quality is good, did not think about causing an accident and ran.

It's the New Year, Lu Ze is also happy, he doesn't want to care about this little thing at all, not to mention that he is not the owner of the distressed car, the car that pulls the goods is solid, it doesn't matter, but the warning should still be there, he is not unlucky, it does not mean that others will not be held accountable, and the owner of the car will not be able to compensate for the New Year.

"Go to the road to play, watch some cars, don't let your dad beat you up for the New Year. ”

After speaking, he handed out two bags of toffee from the car, packed in red wire mesh bags, the sugar is not cheap, and it can be closed for three or five yuan together, which is reserved for those family nephews and nephews when they pay New Year's greetings.

Most of the seven or eight-year-old children will make a mistake that does not distinguish between good and bad, to put it bluntly, it is to kick the nose in the face, you have to say softly, they really don't necessarily take it seriously, so it is still necessary to warn with a straight face.

"Thank you, uncle, happy New Year, uncle. ”

"Well, happy New Year, pay attention to the car, and put it when no one is around. ”

Don't you want to hear this kind of words on the road during the New Year's holiday, the New Year's flavor came up at once, and his face softened, nodded, and looked at a group of children obediently leaning on the edge of the community wall, standing straight like a penalty station, shaking his head with a smile, and lighting foot oil under his feet, but slowly stepping on the brakes.

Jin Hope School, the bus stopped at the door, a group of parents gathered around, chatting with smiles on their faces, the children were also there, the down jackets worn outside, some red clothes were faintly exposed inside, each with a small red fan, and some of them had small drums around their waists, and they didn't know where they were going to perform.

Vaguely, you can also see the figure of Teacher Xiao Zhang, his face is painted red and green, the color of his eyelids is the same color as that of mung bean flies, with two ball heads, and the red and green flower cotton jacket looks very rustic, which makes Lu Ze have some impressions, as if he has heard that the children from the school have been invited to perform in Liaotai.

It is not the Spring Festival Gala, now the local station Spring Festival Gala is still one day later than CCTV, and the children participate in the afternoon program performance of the local station Chinese New Year's Eve, which seems to be called the people's stage, but even if it is not the Spring Festival Gala, it is enough for these children and parents to be excited for the first half of the year.

Speaking of the Spring Festival Gala, Lu Ze also received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, both CCTV and local stations, hoping that he could show his face and applaud silly music on the edge of the big round table, and even a long time ago, a TV station wanted to invite Lu Ze to perform a sketch, including CCTV.

But Lu Ze refused, still including CCTV, compared to other artists, Lu Ze is good enough to have the confidence to refuse, after all, the chief directors of the Spring Festival Gala in the past few years are all old buddies who have drunk at the same table for I don't know how many meals, easy to talk, just two words, if you don't go, people won't disturb the joy of Lu Ze's family.

Of course, I was also complained about not giving face to my buddies in private, and I finally begged you not to do it once, but it was all a joke, and after a penalty of three glasses of wine, the matter was over, and no one really accounted for the matter of Lu Ze not going to the Spring Festival Gala.

This also makes many people in the circle strange all the time, you said that Lu Ze is acting as a star, and he doesn't go to the Spring Festival Gala every year, and you don't come to the occasion to show his face, there are still hundreds of millions of people across the country who don't know you, this kind of operation is really a little incomprehensible.

But his own affairs are clear, in the past few years, people called, then he must go, one wants to go, the other is has to go, and now what he thinks about is that he can't eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the Spring Festival Gala, it is better to eat dumplings at home, gnaw elbows, and drink two taels of white wine.

If you don't look for comfort during the New Year, when will you find comfort?

Even if his value will definitely rise after the Spring Festival Gala, his spending power ...... To be honest, even the annual interest given by the bank can't be spent, and the large items are all taken out of the company's account, and the tax deduction is equivalent to nothing, and the small items can only spend a few dollars?

Now he is also a rich man, he is still worth hundreds of millions, although he doesn't invest, he doesn't speculate in real estate, and he doesn't have any way to make money except acting, but according to his words, it's enough to spend, and now he is still acting, and it has nothing to do with the system.

The advantage of this system is that when your ability gradually improves, the system's requirements for you are gradually relaxed, and it will not be as tight as it used to be, as long as you don't waste this ability, and still engage in this business, it will no longer whip you.

As for the people in their heads, Lu Ze's relationship with them is not bad now, as long as Lu Ze is still acting, they still want to come out?

The reason is more that he doesn't act anymore, sitting on a mountain of gold, he doesn't know what to do, and that state is far more terrible than having a system urging you.

The interest alone is tens of millions of dollars a year, of course, you don't have to do anything, you can get rich and expensive by eating interest, but you can retire in your thirties to raise flowers and grass, boil eagles and fight dogs? That's not what this age should do, no one can afford to enjoy this kind of blessing, and you will have to find you if you are sick in a few years, and to put it bluntly, you will die quickly.

Lu Ze is a little superstitious about this, he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he has that life, and as soon as you work hard and are idle, your life will basically come to an end, which is also the reason why Lu Ze does not let his parents live in the city, and it is also the reason why he understands why the system still forces him to work, it is very likely that he is afraid that Lu Ze will have braids.

After all, who the wouldn't do it with money?

And he likes acting, he likes to enjoy the feeling of being regarded as a god on the set, which is far more real than the praise he gets in life, and he can feel the worship of looking up, which makes him realize that he is a unique individual.

In countless other industries, there are a large number of talents who are far more successful than him, but in the actor industry, he is the top, standing on the highest mountain, no one can surpass him, this feeling makes him uninterrupted joy, why don't you let him love acting?

In the end, he promised Mickey to make the Universal Brothers bigger and stronger together, as the sense of identity with the company gradually deepened, this dream gradually infected Lu Ze, making Mickey's dream a dream alone, and they have the ability to realize their dreams, so why not try it?

There are too many reasons for him to dedicate his life to acting, so he should dedicate his life to this career.

Along the way, the car's good passability allowed him to quickly get over the bumps that required more caution in the past, and roll up mud and head straight to the door.

In the courtyard, Lu Weiguo sat on the horse, holding a flamethrower to roast the pig's foot hair, with the gradual blackening of the skin and meat, the smell of burning protein also permeated the air, roasted one, threw it into the basin of water that had begun to freeze, and looked up at the oncoming vehicle.

"Xiao Nan!"

"Hey!"

Lu Ze shouted, she was wearing an apron and sleeves, and ran out of the house, although she never made a mistake in her work, she was still a little frizzy in life, and on a cold day, her hands were still wet, and she rubbed against her apron while running.

"Go back to the house first and wipe your hands clean, and then take the things in the car in, Dad, give it to me, it's cold, you come into the house." ”

Lu Weiguo didn't refuse, turned off the fire, gave the musket to Lu Ze, took the cat in Lu Ze's hand, and was helped into the house by Lu Nan, and Lu Ze was responsible for the rest of the work.

Ignited, the scorching flame erupted, even with psychological preparation, the moment the flame erupted, he still shrunk his neck, and then meticulously burned all the brown hair on the pig's feet.

Sitting on the maza, curled up in a ball and roasting pig's feet, the wind blew, in order to prevent the snot from coming out, I could only change my breath every three or five seconds, and the rate of breathing became faster and faster.

Now find someone I don't know, point to the roast pig's paws in the courtyard, and say that he is an actor, and he can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

This is him who has faded his halo, and if he doesn't act, this image will be fixed on him.

Put away the light and become a person who has no luster like a clay sculpture, who can be willing? Everyone's efforts are for a rare glorious moment in life, and Lu Ze is also accumulating light, waiting for the next time he enters the public's field of vision, taking off the appearance of the clay sculpture, and going all out to light himself up......

Take him a long way away.
