Chapter 43: Heartbeat

Timeline: At 9:50 a.m. on the ninth day of the first lunar month of 1975, that is, on February 19, Li Wenxing appeared in the café of the Sheraton Hotel on time as scheduled, reading the newspaper, waiting for the arrival of the former princess of Great Wall Pictures.

said that he would wait for two hours, Li Wenxing didn't plan to break his promise, anyway, there was nothing to do, and this time was still a waste. If that person doesn't come, it's just a pity for herself, but it's a loss for her. Although the other person may not know what to miss, isn't life always in this unknown choice?

Drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, the minutes passed.

What is more depressing is that Li Wenxing actually saw the news about himself on "Li's Voice Daily": "The new talented singer-songwriter who was originally a wireless station persuaded students to quit", which is still the headline on the front page.

With such a god title and the content of chasing after the wind and shadows, Li Wenxing almost vomited blood when he saw it on the spot. You are such a chicken thief, and you still kill your brother, and my brother doesn't say anything. But you write it like this, this Nima is hating Gorra. Also, if you want to satirize the wireless station, do you want to be so blatant? If you go to the newspaper you cooperate with, go directly to the newspaper, and the discerning person will know at a glance that it is your beautiful TV station that is engaged in malicious competition.

Well, Li Wenxing also admitted that he was hypocritical. can make headlines for free, which is much better than the treatment of Mr. Wang, who is also a singer in later generations, but people have tried to make it several times and failed. And this beautiful woman is blind in order to step on the wireless, and she is desperately praising herself, and she is stunned to praise herself as a music wizard who has not been out for a hundred years, so it also proves her image, isn't it?

It's just that why is this report a little awkward?

didn't say it, the high-level executives of the wireless station will definitely not miss this newspaper of their old rival, and they will be on the blacklist of the wireless station in the future, which is really a disaster...... However, if you walk with Christiedine next...... Calculate, as long as you want to come out and do things, don't think about the left and right, you always have to offend a party in the same industry.

Thinking like this, Li Wenxing turned over the report and continued to read other newspapers.

I read more than a dozen newspapers over and over again, refilled five or six cups of coffee, and even went to the toilet twice. Originally, Li Wenxing was mentally prepared to return without a return, and he was already thinking about leaving, but he finally saw the two ladies belatedly appear at the door of the café.

'Smack'~

Raising his hand and pointing to the door, Li Wenxing did not stand up to greet him. First, the impact is not good, and if it is not good, someone will be able to recognize these two, and secondly, it is also a little resentful, these two really let themselves wait for two hours in vain.

Raise your arm to look at your watch, it's almost lunch time, come here at this point, do you want to eat with yourself, or do you want to decline your invitation?

"I'm sorry Li Sheng, I made you wait for a long time, and there was something in the morning that delayed the time. ”

"It's okay, there's still ten minutes until the end of the appointed time, please take a seat. ”

The other party came up and apologized softly, no matter how careful Li Wenxing was, he had to continue? Besides, with his status as a non-negotiable person, people can come over, which is already very appreciative, what else can he complain about?

Bowing slightly, maintaining the most basic etiquette, and sitting down with the two of them, Li Wenxing called the waiter with a look in his eyes.

"Latte, Blue Mountain, or Black Coffee?"

"Caramel Latte ......"

"I'm ...... too"

"Two lattes and three plates of dessert. Go for it."

He took out a 5 Hong Kong dollar tip and handed it to the waiter, and by the way, he took all the newspapers on the table with him. Li Wenxing moved the chair slightly, crossed his fingers and put his hands on the table and sat upright.

"Ms. Chen, Ms. Zhang, I am very happy to be here. ”

"We should be honored. I didn't expect that after being away from the screen for so long, there would still be people who would remember us. ”

Hearing Li Wenxing's words, Ms. Chen bowed her head slightly, looking very happy. However, this is an old drama bone, what is the mood, what the real thoughts are, but you can't just look at the surface.

"I don't know what Li Sheng asked us to do? And what Li Sheng said last night, please make it clear. ”

"Since Ms. Chan is straight to the point, I won't go around in circles. ”

These two can come to the appointment today, probably in addition to polite thanks, that is, this is curiosity.

Raising his hand to look at his watch again, he immediately arrived to have lunch with Lin Xueli, and Li Wenxing no longer wasted time and spoke bluntly.

"Quite simply, I wanted to join the two of us to form a new film company. In the new company, I will invest in cash, with a ceiling of 1 million, and Ms. Chen will invest in management and network resources, and we will discuss how to distribute the proportion of shares later. Within five years, the new company will be self-financed, and I will not take any profits, but I will not recapitalize, and I will not ask about management and financial issues. I only have one requirement, the films operated and shot by the company must meet the qualifications for mainland screening. ”

"As for Ms. Zhang, I said bluntly, your marriage is likely to have come to an end. Although my main profession is an actor and singer, I also work part-time to read fortune telling, which everyone knows me. So, if you get divorced, I guess you'll move...... The west coast of the United States. Well, it looks like you've got that in mind. Don't ask me why I know, it's easy to tell from your face. You're moving in the near future, and you're in the West......"

"Then, with your family background, you are used to living a prosperous life, and the cost of living in the country is not low. I hope you can set up a community cinema chain in various Chinese communities in several major cities in California that specialize in broadcasting Chinese-language films. Starting from the second half of the year, the initial funding of $500,000 will increase by more than 50% year by year. You get an annual salary and management bonus, and I will help you set up a professional management team, you are responsible for taking the lead, and the team will take care of the rest for you. You can try it for a while, and if it doesn't work, then we'll get together and disperse. If the results are substantial, you can get about 30% of the management share award. ”

"I always firmly believe that an excellent woman, in addition to a happy married life, also needs to make achievements in her career. In the fortress of love created by men, no matter how strong the romantic passion is, it will eventually fade. If you are lucky, you can hold the hand of your son, and if you are unlucky, you can only accommodate your life, or even be lonely......"

"So, it's lunchtime now, and I've had an appointment with someone else to talk about things. Then I won't bother the two of you, this is my business card, you might as well consider my cooperation proposal. If you are interested, you can call at any time, and I will wait for good news. ”

At the end of the words, Li Wenxing got up and took out the business card he had printed earlier, took it out of his wallet and put it on the table, and pushed it to the two girls respectively. Then he bowed slightly, then picked up the blazer on the back of the chair and put it on his arm, and turned away sharply.

The two women at the table watched Li Wenxing leave in a hurry, and glanced at each other, full of surprise and puzzlement.

At this time, I happened to meet the waiter who came to bring coffee and dessert.

Ms. Chen tilted her head and frowned for a while, then asked the waiter tentatively:

"Did the gentleman here wait here for a long time?"

"It's been a long time......

The waiter brought the coffee in the tray and put it in front of Ms. Chen, holding the tray and thinking for a while. She was still very impressed by a beautiful guest like Li Wenxing, and several little sisters made fun of him on the side, and replied:

"When I got to work, I saw that gentleman here. I'm in the middle class, the 10 o'clock class. ”

“…… Ok thanks. ”

Ms. Chen looked at her friends again, and after thanking her, her eyes were full of helplessness.

"You're welcome, you slow down. ”

"Now it's okay, hang them for two hours. They all said to let you come early, when will your temper change?"

Seeing the waiter leave, Ms. Chen lowered her head and picked up the printed business card on the table and played with it repeatedly, and couldn't help but complain helplessly about her good friend.

"I didn't know he was going to wait here for two hours. ”

The best friend named Bingqian next to her pouted dissatisfiedly, and while speaking, she picked up the business card in front of her and looked at it.

A small business card, on the background color of dark gold lacquer foil, the upper left corner of the front is a red and black word-shaped star pattern LOGO, the upper part is a dark pattern composed of some three-pointed stars, four-pointed stars, five-pointed stars, multi-pointed stars, etc., and the bottom is some shiny large and small gold gears.

The front of the business card gives the impression of understated luxury and prestige, while on the reverse side is a large bouquet of golden tulips, which hangs diagonally throughout the layout, seductive and swaying in the wind. There is only a line of small print at the bottom, which is a string of telephone numbers, followed by parentheses from 9 to 10 o'clock in the evening.

Playing with this mysterious and expensive business card, a woman named Bingqian held her cheek with one hand, thought for a while with her eyes blurred, turned her head and asked:

"Sishi, was I very embarrassed last night, did I really hold on to someone, and I still want to kiss someone?"

"You still say, I can't pull you away. Come on, haven't you been lonely for a long time, and you see that people are young and beautiful, and you plan to take the initiative to post it upside down?"

Listening to her good friend's question, the woman named Sishi also recalled the scene last night, covering her mouth and chuckling as she spoke. Before he finished, he stretched out his index finger and swiped Bingqian's forehead helplessly, his face was full of ridicule.

"Even if you want to post it upside down, people may not be able to take a fancy to me. ”

In fact, Bingqian also had a vague impression of what she did last night, and it seemed that she did regard this person as the negative person. Fortunately, I met a real humble gentleman, otherwise I would have been taken advantage of by others. How good would it be if you could be born 20 years later and meet this person at the most beautiful age?

"That Sishi, are you tempted by his proposal?"

I have to say that whether it is an eighteen-year-old or a thirty-eight-year-old woman, her heart is full of illusions, and this Bingqian has been completely persuaded by Li Wenxing at this time.

I already planned to go through the divorce procedures with my husband in the near future, and then take my son away from the United States. It's just that I am confused about the road ahead, leaving this familiar land and going to a foreign country, what can I do?

Well, now put yourself in front of such an opportunity, if ...... With his connections in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, he went to the Chinese community over there, and he didn't want to make a difference.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but listen to my good friend's thoughts. If a good girlfriend can agree to such a cooperation, she will make a film and get it to the United States for distribution and broadcasting, which is simply a one-stop production and marketing. What a good picture is that?
