Chapter 13: A Long Conversation Through the Night

"Brother Ran, my brother told you, I am absolutely professional in making movies, don't worry, I am a director in my profession, and I know a few ........."

In Maserati, Zhang Qiang sat in the back row a little awkwardly, excitedly telling Cheng Ran, who was silent in the co-pilot, how professional he was in filmmaking.

The corners of Cheng Ran's mouth twitched and stared quietly out of the window, without the slightest desire to take care of the fat man.

Just now, after Li Qiuxue knew that Zhang Qiang was making a movie, she kept looking at herself with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, and then Li Qiuxue asked Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang to pack their luggage without saying a word, and she rearranged the accommodation for the two to live in.

Knowing that he could still play his spare time in movies, and also included three meals and accommodation, Zhang Qiang got up and packed his luggage without the slightest backbone.

Cheng Ran originally wanted to argue with reason, saying that he didn't want to change his residence, but seeing Li Qiuxue's inadvertently open five fingers, Cheng Ran gave in, obediently packed up his luggage, and threw away a large pile of garbage that was still useful in his eyes at Li Qiuxue's request.

A villa in a building near Kyoto University.

Li Junshou and a white man sat on the sofa solemnly, and the two sat on opposite sides of the coffee table, two "friends" who had been very friendly until a few hours ago, and at this time their eyes were fiercely exchanging views in mid-air.

"Mars, Cheng Ran is from China, I don't think he needs to go all the way to your country to learn piano. ”

Mars's plump, plump lips struggled to bend into a sarcastic angle.

"Li Junshou, although your country's progress in piano has been recognized by the world, it is only recognition, don't forget that the origin of piano music is our Europe, I believe that only in that land, Cheng Ran's talent can be brought into full play. ”

Mars said arrogantly that in his eyes, a talent with such a talent for the piano would not be able to accept his own conditions no matter what.

"Hehe, then do you think Cheng Ran will go with you?"

Thinking of Cheng Ran's cruel words before retiring a few years ago, the smile on the corner of Li Junshou's mouth could no longer be hidden.

Cheng Ran almost said to the Chinese entertainment industry that the entire entertainment industry would tremble for him when he returned, he believed that Cheng Ran would not give up his piano, but he was even more sure that Cheng Ran would not leave this land and go to Europe on the other side of the world.

Mars's eyes narrowed slightly, and although it was close to two o'clock in the morning, his spirits were unusually high.

He understands that if Cheng Ran can follow him to Europe for development, Cheng Ran's talent will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of piano all over the world, and it is very likely to become a legend, and his contribution as a guide will definitely be remembered by the world.

The two men in the living room looked at each other with such big eyes, until a screeching brake sound sounded outside the window, and the two of them stood up at the same time and walked towards the door.

……………

Cheng Ran dragged his suitcase and cautiously followed behind Li Qiuxue, he really didn't live in a villa area when he was so big, which was really something that Cheng Ran couldn't think of in the past.

Zhang Qiang was quite excited to follow Cheng Ran and say something excitedly, and by the way, he judged some luxurious and brilliant decorations.

Li Qiuxue took out the key to open the door, and led the two of them into the entrance through the entrance.

"Cheng Ran!"

"Cheng Ran!"

Cheng Ran, who had just put down his luggage, was suddenly startled by two excited male voices.

"Mars, what are you two doing?"

Li Qiuxue looked at Li Junshou and Mars with unkind eyes, this villa was bought by her sister when she was studying in China, and occasionally Li Junshou would bring some friends to stay here overnight, so when Li Qiuxue brought Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang to live, she specially asked if there was anyone living in this villa.

I didn't expect these two guys to have such a sensitive nose and wait directly in the villa.

"Hehe, Miss Qiu Xue, I just wanted to talk to Mr. Cheng Ran about his study in our Europe. ”

Mars came up and explained his intention to Li Qiuxue in his half-baked Huaxia language, he was more familiar with the Li family brothers and sisters, especially Li Junshou, the two of them were classmates, and they had both studied under the name of a master for a period of time.

"Studying in Europe?"

Li Qiuxue's eyes narrowed dangerously and looked at Li Junshou on the side, if she knew that this idea was proposed by her brother, then she, Li Qiuxue, should let Li Junshou know that taekwondo, which she has learned for more than ten years, is not practiced in vain.

"No! No, old sister, do you believe brother, how can brother do such a stupid thing, our country is not without piano masters, I advocate that Cheng Ran stay in China, and if I can be a lecturer in our Kyoto University, occasionally talk about my understanding of the piano............."

"Impossible!"

Before Li Junshou finished speaking, Li Qiuxue said very seriously.

After speaking, Li Qiuxue seemed to feel a little excited, after all, Cheng Ran's choice was not qualified for her decision-making.

"What do you think. ”

Taking a deep breath to force herself to calm down, Li Qiuxue tried her best to appear more calm and asked Cheng Ran.

Cheng Ran glanced down at the constantly bulging and concave shin on the back of Li Qiuxue's white hand, decisively gave up and was ready to blurt out the intention of choosing Kyoto University, and whispered to Li Qiuxue with a polite smile on his face.

"Listen to you. ”

Li Qiuxue was very satisfied with Cheng Ran's reply, glanced at Mars and Li Qiuxue, and said coldly.

"Get out of here!"

Mars and Li Junshou glanced at each other, looked at Cheng Ran helplessly, and sighed in unison to express regret.

Cheng Ran opened his mouth, he really wanted to go to Kyoto University to work, maybe the salary would not be very high, but Cheng Ran could be sure that there was absolutely no pressure on his small life.

Anyway, with the music score that I have an impression in my mind, I can definitely support my retirement by releasing a song in three or five years.

Besides, music is not something you can have if you want to, okay, there have been no famous tunes for more than ten years, and Cheng Ran feels that it is not impossible to rely on his own cheekiness.

But thinking about the contract he signed yesterday, Cheng Ran had the urge to chop his hands.

He didn't pay attention to it at the time, and it is still unclear how long the contract is signed, and in his memory, this kind of high-paying job with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan is generally signed for three to five years, and if there is no objection from both parties, it can be continued.

Thinking about his next days, Cheng Ran felt a burst of despair in his heart.

Li Qiuxue first let Zhang Qiang live in a guest room on the first floor, and then led Cheng Ran to the second bedroom of the two.

It's not that she is reluctant to let Cheng Ran live in the master bedroom, but that this master bedroom is where her sister once lived, even if she is studying abroad now, no one dares to take someone to live in the room where she lives, so in addition to the daily cleaning aunt, the current master bedroom has not even been in Li Qiuxue, her own sister.

Cheng Ran didn't think about it so much, in his eyes, the second bedroom was already bigger than the house he originally rented, and he didn't know the layout of the villa's room, just now he also glanced at Zhang Fatzi's guest room, and found that it was much smaller than his own room, so he naturally felt that his room was the master bedroom of the villa.

couldn't help it, Cheng Ran had a vague feeling of gratitude to Li Qiuxue brewing in his heart.

Bah!

Fortunately, Cheng Ran woke up in time that he didn't have Stockholm syndrome, and politely expressed his gratitude to Li Qiuxue, and Cheng Ran silently opened the suitcase and began to decorate the room.

Li Qiuxue didn't feel anything, exited the room and sat on the sofa downstairs, Cheng Ran, who was on the second floor, could only vaguely hear that the white man and Li Junshou seemed to be convincing Li Qiuxue of something, but then it didn't seem to be successful.

The basic daily necessities in the room are complete, and it belongs to the kind that can be checked in directly with a bag and a change of clothes.

Cheng Ran washed up first, changed into pajamas and prepared for bed.

"Cheng Ran, what are you still inking! ”

As soon as Cheng Ran was about to turn off the lights, Zhang Qiang unceremoniously opened the door and pulled Cheng Ran downstairs.

When Cheng Ran went downstairs, he found Li Qiuxue, Li Junshou's brother and sister were not very good-looking, and the white man named Mars on the side was helplessly holding a glass of red wine, lying on the sofa staring at the huge crystal lamp and thinking about something.

Seeing Cheng Ran going downstairs, Li Qiuxue's face softened a lot, poured a glass of water for Cheng Ran, and motioned for him to do it on the sofa.

Looking at the posture that was about to be talked all night, Cheng Ran smiled bitterly and thought silently in his heart.

500,000!

For an annual salary of 500,000!

I endure!

I endure!

Li Junshou saw that his old sister didn't even want to pour herself a glass of water, so he snorted coldly and took out two bottles of red wine from the wine cabinet, washed two red wine glasses and gave them to Zhang Qiang, and lay on the sofa with the red wine glasses between his fingers and Erlang's legs, staring at Cheng Ran.

Zhang Qiang was not polite, sitting next to Li Junshou and looking at the red wine written in unknown foreign languages, he poured a glass excitedly, learned from Li Junshou poured himself a glass, and lay on the sofa looking at Cheng Ran.

"Uh... What are we going to say?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cheng Ran said with a somewhat embarrassed face.

"Movies, what else can I do. ”

Li Junshou glanced at his old sister and said helplessly.

In the audience, Zhang Qiang looked at Cheng Ran very excitedly, just in the gap when Cheng Ran went upstairs to take a bath, he had already signed a contract with Li Qiuxue, which was roughly to assist Cheng Ran in filming a movie, or there was no limit, anyway, how much money is given to you, you can shoot it, Li Qiuxue will not care, it is Cheng Ran and Zhang Qiang who negotiate.

I have no interest in the world-famous pianist Mars in the movie, but there is still such a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that Cheng Ran can change his mind and follow him to Europe to learn piano.

Cheng Ran took a sip of water, knowing that if he didn't hand over a satisfactory answer, it would be impossible for this group of people to let him go back to sleep comfortably.

Sighing helplessly, Cheng Ran could only forcibly cheer up and start talking about the general plot of "This Man is from Earth".

Originally, except for Zhang Qiang, everyone more or less felt that talking about the script was a very boring thing, but when Cheng Ran asked them to cooperate with them to integrate into the characters in the play, they were conquered by Cheng Ran's brain.

"OMG, I really don't believe that there are such perfect people in this world, God is so unfair. ”

Mars looked at Cheng Ran in disbelief, deeply impressed by his brain, not to mention that this movie is too much in line with his taste.

Zhang Qiang, a professional director, looked at Cheng Ran dumbfounded, he had already been shocked by the movie he described, if this kind of movie can be made, it will definitely be popular, although the whole movie almost does not need any special effects, and even as long as someone who knows a little bit of editing can shoot it.

But!

Zhang Qiang is absolutely sure that this "Man from Earth" is definitely the most outstanding "science fiction film" this year.

As for Cheng Ran's swollen and dry eyes, he looked helplessly at the shiny sky outside the window, and glanced at Li Qiuxue, who was lying on the sofa and covered with his coat, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"Oh, evil capitalist. ”

Stockholm Syndrome: The introduction is relatively long, and it is roughly the kind of person who originally hit you and bullied you at every turn, and suddenly one day the person who hit you uses a lighter force, or gives you something else, and you will rely on and trust the person who originally hit you.

People can be domesticated – Stockholm syndrome.
