Chapter 29: Rivals in Love
After watching the movie, Lu Ping drove to the restaurant he had made an appointment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was about a quarter past seven o'clock, a little later than the agreed time, and Lu Ping rushed there.
It is a Chinese restaurant, and it looks quite upscale.
As soon as he went in and reported the room number, the waiter quickly took him to the room, the door opened, and several people who were already in the room stood up with a cheer.
Her agent, Gao Lanlan, smiled and asked, "Traffic jam?"
Lu Ping nodded, the room was full of acquaintances, and there was nothing to see, so he said directly: "It's okay to say about the traffic jam, the main reason is that it started a little late, and there are too many reporters and fans, so it's not easy to enter the venue." ”
As he spoke, he walked over and shook hands with Zhou Zhengyang, the general manager of Tianyi Film and Television, and he still said: "I've kept you waiting, I'm sorry." ”
Zhou Zhengyang smiled, "It's okay." ”
They sat down, and everyone sat down.
Zhou Zhengyang's secretary went out to inform that the food could be served, and everyone sat and chatted here, Zhou Zhengyang asked: "What do you think after reading it?" It is said that this "Love of Green Onions", known as Yu Bojun's transformation work, is a literary film, is it an appetite?"
Lu Ping smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's a little bit worse." ”
Zhou Zhengyang laughed when he heard this, and many people in the room also laughed.
Gao Lanlan smiled and said: "Our domestic director, if you want to make this style and type of movie, the first thing you have to serve is Qin Wei, shoot something national and dig into human nature, no one dares to say that you can surpass Qin Wei for the time being, and next, it's our director Lu Da, there are the movies "Old Town" and "Old Well" put there, you can't look down on Yu Bojun's things, that's normal." ”
This is, of course, an overt sycophant.
Qin Wei is a recognized master of art, that is the top spot of domestic film directors, and he is ranked first, no one will be unconvinced, but under Qin Wei, it is difficult to say whether it will be Lu Ping's turn. It's just that his current momentum is going up, and he is still so young, maybe in ten or twenty years, he will become the first person under Qin Wei, or even surpass Qin Wei, which is also very difficult to say.
What's more, the people sitting in this box at the moment, others won't say anything, Gao Lanlan is his agent, after watching "Old Town", he decisively found him and began to work hard to push him to the film and television company, which helped him get the guide tube of "Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao", and with the small success of "Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao", he successfully made Tianyi Film and Television invest in his third work "Old Well", which is regarded as a person who has praised him step by step to today, and his friendship is naturally very good, and his confidence in him is more than anyone else.
And after Zhou Zhengyang invested in Lu Ping's two works and won a small success, and "Old Well" also successfully won the Best Director Award at the Great Wall Awards, it was a time for him to be very confident.
In addition to the two of them, what is done in the house is either Lu Ping's "queen" screenwriter, or the previous two films have followed Lu Ping's crew, and they are also quite confident in Lu Ping's strength and development potential.
To put it simply, Lu Ping, who won the best director at the age of less than 30 and barely squeezed into the ranks of first-line directors, is the golden thigh in the eyes of everyone in this room.
So at this time, after Gao Lanlan's words were finished, everyone laughed one after another.
It is by no means a perfunctory or hypocritical laugh, but everyone thinks from the bottom of their hearts that Lu Ping does have the qualifications to look down on Yu Bojun.
However, Lu Ping only grinned slightly, barely laughing.
Screenwriter Liu Hanqing also smiled while smoking: "The films made by Yu Bojun in the past few years are called rotten, that is, relying on the fact that there is a theater at home, and they can play back and forth in the off-season, otherwise they would have died a long time ago." ”
Everyone laughed again, and someone said: "This can't make much money, but ha, their four beauty bands are really appealing, I see that many people on the Internet are calling on everyone to buy tickets together! ”
Gao Lanlan smiled with everyone when she heard this, but when she turned around, she keenly found that Lu Ping's interest did not seem to be high, and she hesitated, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end, after thinking about it, she decided to wait a while and ask again, so when the waiter served the food, she took the initiative to enliven the atmosphere and talk and laugh with everyone.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Zhengyang turned his head to look at Lu Ping, and asked with a smile: "Pingzi, how are you thinking about the new play?"
Lu Ping said: "Don't worry, I'm still thinking about it, I'm still making an outline recently, and I have to find Lao Liu again to sum it up, and when the general direction is set, let's talk about it." ”
Zhou Zhengyang thought about it when he heard this, nodded, but didn't rush too much, just smiled: "Okay, then when you think about it, let's talk carefully." However, I still have that idea, you already have "Old Well", the foundation of word-of-mouth has been consolidated, and the next step is to think more about the direction of business. ”
Speaking of this, he looked around and said: "These successful directors in our country, Liu Chengzhang won't talk about it, that guy is making movies wildly, no one knows what he will shoot next, Du Weiyun shoots martial arts and historical figures, that's a must, but in fact, his box office has not been able to pull up, why does everyone think that Qin Wei is a master, and when it comes to Du Weiyun, they always feel that he is a little bit worse? As for Zhao Meicheng, no one has put him on the path of a master at all, why?"
Speaking of which, when he looked back at Lu Ping again, he saw that the topic he had brought up seemed to have successfully attracted Lu Ping's attention, so he explained with a smile: "Liu Chengzhang is too erratic, although his image style is extremely unique, shooting people, heroes, ghosts, and demons, all of them have an aura, but in essence, he is a commercial film director, and Zhao Meicheng is a commercial film director when he shoots one and sells another, so they exclude!" As we all know, if you make a commercial movie, just play at the box office, and the art master will not have your share. ”
Du Weiyun is an example, and it turns out that it is not possible to do so! Only Qin Wei, who has one hand in literature and art and the other hand at the box office, and has grasped both sides very steadily, is recognized as the number one among film directors!
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Lu Ping, and said with a smile: "Pingzi, you have already won the best director, now is the most appropriate time, you believe my brother, I will not lie to you! The next one, you must make a film that can win the box office, even if you are a little scolded, you are not afraid, as long as you go up at the box office, everyone has to look up to you, because at that time, you will really have a good reputation at the box office! Think about it, is it so reasonable?"
Lu Ping thought about it and smiled, "That makes sense." However, he still said lightly: "I'll think about it, it's still the same sentence, business results must be paid attention to, but you can't sit crookedly!"
Zhou Zhengyang laughed when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.
The two sides have known each other for several years and have collaborated on two films, he knows very well what Lu Ping's character is, and he also knows that this kind of thing is in a hurry, so he will stop at the point.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether Lu Ping will listen to him or not, the next movie will try to lean on the commercial side, and a cutting-edge director with unlimited potential like Lu Ping will never let go.
…………
Before leaving, Zhou Zhengyang pulled Gao Lanlan's sleeve, and the two of them came to the side, Zhou Zhengyang advised: "Something is wrong, you look back and stare and ask, guide and guide." ”
Gao Lanlan smiled, "Don't worry, there is me!"
…………
Originally, they wanted to go back to their respective homes, but Gao Lanlan repeatedly insisted that Lu Ping drank a lot of wine, and asked to drive his car to send him back to rest assured. On the wine table just now, Gao Lanlan deliberately left a small amount and didn't drink much.
In the end, Lu Ping had no choice but to nod in agreement.
When the car drove downstairs to Lu Ping's house, Gao Lanlan parked the car, and when she saw that Lu Ping was about to get out of the car, she hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Pingzi, didn't you send it out?"
Lu Ping was already about to get up, but when he heard the words, he sat down again, raised his hand to wipe his face, and sighed.
This woman discovered him when he was still penniless, and supported him when he was under the most pressure. In front of her, Lu Ping has never hidden anything. At this time, he bowed his head for a moment, he smiled and said: "His kind of person, he can get to this point at a young age, he will definitely not be so stupid, I knew before I went that he would definitely not accept my check, but this attitude, I must put it out, I must clearly tell him that this woman is mine!
Gao Lanlan smiled when she heard this.
These words seemed to come out of Lu Ping's mouth.
Calm and thoughtful, but also domineering, has always been his style.
So, she asked, "So, are you sure you're going to receive it?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Of course." Again, he's not stupid!"
"That'...... Will he let go?"
Lu Ping's face froze when he heard this, and he immediately said confidently: "He doesn't let go, what's the matter? As long as I'm strong enough, why should he fight with me?"
Gao Lanlan smiled at first when she heard this, but then she couldn't help but remind: "His conditions are no worse than yours, young, rich, handsome, and talented, and the whole country knows that he is especially popular with girls." ”
Lu Ping's face sank when he heard this, but immediately, he still said with great confidence: "Lu Lingxi is not such a shallow person! Those women around Li Qian can't compare with her!"
Hearing this answer, Gao Lanlan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That teacher Lu is so good?"
Lu Ping smiled and said nothing.
But soon, Gao Lanlan said again: "That Li Qian is still really talented, before Lao Zhou didn't know where I heard that you seemed to have some opinions about Li Qian, and he once called me on purpose and asked me to tell you, that person, don't offend, try not to offend." If you look at the level of his "The Legend of the New White Lady", you will know that it is not a simple character! Lao Zhou also said that if he makes a movie, his level may not be bad!"
Lu Ping snorted coldly when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Gao Lanlan suddenly said: "However, although I promised Lao Zhou that I would persuade you, but you know, I will always be on your side, as long as you decide, I believe you will definitely be fine! Don't talk about Li Qian, even if it is Qin Wei, we are not afraid! Sooner or later, you are going to challenge Qin Wei, since we are not even afraid of Qin Wei, let alone a Li Qian who has just made a TV series? You know, a TV series is not a movie! Just because he makes a good TV series doesn't mean he can make a good movie! He is good at making music and making TV series, but he doesn't necessarily have to make movies!"
Hearing this, Lu Ping laughed slowly, and suddenly felt much more refreshed, thought about it, looked at Gao Lanlan very sincerely, and said, "Sister Gao, thank you for always supporting me!"
Gao Lanlan smiled, "We are one!"
Lu Ping took a deep breath, "Yes, we are one!"
Seeing that the high fighting spirit reappeared on his face, Gao Lanlan's mood seemed to be much better, and with some jokes, he asked: "So, you don't think about starting a new play for the time being, and pursue that Teacher Lu wholeheartedly?"
Lu Ping nodded and said proudly: "In the past, in front of her, I was still a little ashamed of myself, I liked it, but I didn't even dare to confess, but now, I have this confidence, so I don't want to wait a day or a minute!"
Gao Lanlan pursed her lips, but then nodded, "That's okay! Then you can pursue her with confidence, Lao Zhou's side, I'll help you stop it, try to let him bother you less! But ha, let's set a goal in advance, for example, in half a year, we must take it, if you can't take it......"
Lu Ping laughed when he heard this, "Okay, good, good, I understand what you mean!"
After a pause, he said with great confidence: "Then half a year, half a year, enough time for me to take it!
Gao Lanlan laughed when she heard this.
…………
I have to say that chatting with Gao Lanlan for a while made Lu Ping's mood a lot better.
But when I returned home, I poured myself a glass of water, sat down on the sofa, recalled Li Qian's appearance this afternoon, and then recalled the smile on Lu Lingxi's face when he mentioned Li Qian during this time, and the closeness revealed in her tone, of course, especially when she helped Qin Jingjing borrow money, she actually didn't come to find herself, but went to find Li Qian, or suddenly hooked the fire in his heart.
Although he knew in his heart that his senior sister Lu had a good eye, she would never like someone like Li Qian, and he was sure that with the ability, talent, and unlimited potential he showed at that time, as long as he worked a little harder, it would definitely be no problem to win her, but I have to say that Gao Lanlan, or Zhou Zhengyang's reminder, conveyed those deeper comparisons between himself and Li Qian, still made him quite unhappy in his heart.
Even he has to admit that Li Qian is indeed young, handsome and rich, and the key thing is that he is richer and younger than himself, of course, he can't compare with him when it comes to being handsome.
In particular, his biggest confidence, talent, seems to have done a good job.
TV series and movies, of course, are not the same thing, and there are many examples of directors who have made TV series very successful in entering movies but losing big losses, so if "The Legend of the New White Lady" is filmed well, it does not necessarily mean that Li Qian can make a good movie. Merely...... There are always worries!
Although Lu Ping is confident in his film talent, it has to be said that Li Qian is a rival in love that he has to pay attention to.
Of course, he never thought about it until now, in fact, Li Qian never wanted to pursue Lu Lingxi.
…………
Think about it, think about it.
Lu Ping sat on the sofa for more than half an hour, without speaking or moving.
The expression on his face changed even more in a few minutes, suddenly gloomy and frightening, and suddenly full of pride.
At a certain moment, he suddenly picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, dialed the phone, and when it was connected, he asked, "Are you still filming?"
On the opposite side was a woman's voice, delicate and delicate, "I just finished filming the night scene, I'm tired, husband, my legs are tired and weak." ”
When Lu Ping heard this, he said "um" flatly, "Since the filming is over, you can come back." ”
"What's wrong?" the other side was a little surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't care about being coquettish.
Lu Ping continued to say calmly: "If I ask you to come back, you will come back, what are so many problems!"
This time, the woman on the other side finally heard that Lu Ping's emotions didn't seem right, hesitated for a moment, she said with a little flattery: "Husband, you also know, it's not easy for me to get this role, or you ask Mr. Zhou to come forward, so I'm afraid that if I ask for leave, ......."
"Who told you to take a leave of absence? Come back now, get up early tomorrow, and I'll send you there!"
The other side was dumb.
Half a day later, the woman said, "But...... But ......"
"What's the good thing, you are my concubine, and serving me well is the most important thing for you, forget?"
"I didn't...... Husband...... You...... What's wrong with you?"
Lu Ping was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "I want to you!"
The other side held his breath for a moment, and then said timidly: "Then, then I'll go back immediately!"
…………
Today's Lu Ping is particularly violent. After a short break, he pressed Xia Xiaoyue's head down again, and after a while, the wind rose again and came again.
By the time this time, after he finished roaring and trembling his body, Xia Xiaoyue was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to turn over.
But looking at Lu Ping's comfortable appearance after venting, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she still struggled again, licked his lower body, and forced herself to run to the bathroom to clean before coming back, snuggling up to him like a cat and lying down next to him - when she passed the door, Lu Ping set a rule for her, as long as he didn't agree, she was not allowed to get pregnant.
Seeing that Lu Ping's mood seemed to be much better at this time, she didn't care that she was tired and sleepy, and just asked timidly: "Husband, what's wrong with you today......?"
Lu Ping turned his head to look at her, stretched out his hand, took her into his arms, and said calmly: "It's okay, I just suddenly want to you, can't you?"
Xia Xiaoyue snuggled into his arms and rubbed, "Okay, of course, you're someone's husband......!" Husband, I think you're in a particularly bad mood?"
"Well, it's nothing, I watched a bad movie, so I'm in a bad mood!"
Xia Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, lowered her head, and a touch of helplessness and resentment flashed on her face.
But she was too sleepy and tired, and she was worried that she would have to get up early tomorrow, so she only lay down in Lu Ping's arms for a short while, and soon fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
