Everyone ate and drank at the dinner table, and in order to alleviate the somewhat cold atmosphere, Ma Fangxi, as the initiator of the banquet, frequently toasted Xiong Yaohao, Wang Zheng and others.

Xiong Yao didn't refuse, just raised his glass, and after a while, a little wine appeared on his face, and he didn't feel more talking.

"Boy, although I don't think you are very pleasing to the eye, but you and I are considered peers, I heard that your book is selling well on Treasure Island, come and have a drink!"

Wang Zheng was a little uncomfortable with Xiong Yaohao's change of attitude, but he still picked up his wine glass and replied: "Mr. Xiong is polite, I'll do it first as a respect!"

After speaking, he drank the sake in the cup in one gulp.

Xiong Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, I like you a little now!"

Wang Zheng smiled a little speechlessly, and couldn't laugh at the rapid change of this big coffee's temperament, not only did the technology of brewing sake come from China, but even the tatami mats were eliminated from the Tang Dynasty.

The two of them came and went to drink until the wine was dry, and the others slowly became spectators, and Wang Guxian looked at Wang Zheng with a pair of beautiful eyes throughout the whole process, like a curious baby.

The wine jug containing the sake itself is small, and after the two of them drank seven or eight pots in a row, Xiong Yaohao had already lost his indifference in front, put his arm on Wang Zheng's shoulder, and said with a snort of wine: "You kid is very angry with me, so Baodao will remember to look for me in the future, and the wine pipe is enough!"

"That's a certainty, although the wine is a good thing, it's better to order it until the end!"

Although the alcohol content of sake is not high, drinking less is still good for the body, but too much greed for a cup will still hurt the body, Wang Zheng can remember that the big coffee in front of the future is excessive drinking, and suffered from liver disease, so he died young.

Since the end of the creation of the novel "Heroes Without Tears" in 79, until 84 years, Xiong Yaohao no longer has good works come out, the media has repeatedly rumored that he is already Jiang Lang's talent, which makes him very bored, and then opened Baolong Film Company to enter the film industry, but the several movies that can be produced all lose money, plus he suffers from liver disease, which makes him slump, and uses alcohol to anesthetize himself all day long, whether it is liquor, Red wine or XO, all of them did not refuse, and this state lasted until September 21, 85, due to cirrhosis of the liver caused by esophageal vein aneurysm, hemorrhage, died at 6 p.m., at the age of 47.

Now that Xiong Yaohao's physical condition has turned on the red light, in terms of Wang Zheng's energy, I am afraid that he will not listen to the persuasion to quit drinking, so he can only think of a tactful way.

Xiong Yaohua raised his wine glass, looked at the clear wine, and sighed: "Wine, it's better to die than to drink too much, and it's better to die than to die if you don't drink!"

Wang Zheng bluntly persuaded: "Alcohol dependence is a disease, and it must be cured!"

Xiong Yao laughed when he heard this, and his laughter was very self-deprecating: "But I am terminally ill and have no cure, so let's have wine today and get drunk today." ”

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and coughed violently after drinking.

Wang Zheng patted him on the back and gently persuaded him again: "Let's give myself a chance, I know that Mr. Xiong has become self-defeating due to his lack of inspiration and inability to create good works, and the film company he has opened has become disheartened by the dismal box office of the movies he opened." “

After speaking, he stared at Xiong Yaohao's reddened eyes, and then said: "Mr. Xiong should know that my self-written and directed "Happy Family" has broken many box office records of Xiangjiang films, and it is currently the highest box office of the entire Chinese film, if Mr. Xiong can promise me not to drink alcohol within a year, I will write and direct a movie for Baolong Film Company that is no less than "Happy Family", of course, I have three layers of investment and box office dividends, what does Mr. Xiong think of my proposal?"

Wang Zheng's only advantage now is that he has a lot of classic movie scripts in his mind, in order to save the life of a generation of grandmasters, he can only use temptation to lure, although I don't know if quitting alcohol for a year can relieve his liver, but this is the only way he can come up with at present.

Xiong Yaoyu was stunned when he heard this, he was a little drunk and sober, he naturally knew Wang Zheng's guidance ability, otherwise, with his current reputation, which Ma Fangxian could invite a district manager, the biggest reason for coming to the banquet tonight was to see the youngest best director, what was different, Xiong Yaohao didn't see it in other aspects, until he heard the conditions offered by Wang Zheng, it was indeed a little different.

"Why?" he asked, squinting his eyes.

Wang Zheng knew that he had some questions, and said directly: "Every novel of Mr. Xiong is my favorite, I can't bear to see Master Gu Long, who created many classic characters, died of liver disease due to alcoholism, in my heart, Gu Long is a hero, and heroes should not end like this." ”

Wang Zheng didn't hide his voice when he said this, Wu Yusen, Ma Fangxian and others, who were originally acting as spectators, all looked at him and Xiong Yaoyu in surprise, for fear that the latter would suddenly turn his face if he didn't like it.

Wang Zheng didn't have such worries, although his words were not good, but they were sincere, and it depended on how Xiong Yaohao judged.

Xiong Yaohao stared at Wang Zheng for a moment, and when others thought he was going to turn his face, he slapped the table and laughed: "I think I took Gu Long as the name, since I was a child, I fell into the rivers and lakes to carry wine, I once begged for a life in the sword light and blood shadow, righteousness first, the upper knot of the literati, the lower hand over the peddler pawn, both black and white, friends and brothers are all over the place, but I didn't expect it to be you, a young boy in your twenties, who gave me advice." ”

"Mr. Xiong means agreed?" Wang Zheng confirmed.

Xiong Yao asked instead of answering: "You don't know if I've drunk or not, aren't you afraid that I'll ask you for a script a year later?"

Wang Zheng smiled faintly and said: "You and I have a gentleman's agreement, whether you drink or not depends on Mr. Xiong's words!"

"What a gentleman's agreement!"

Xiong Yaohao poured the glass of wine again and said, "Come, cheers to your gentleman's agreement!"

Wang Zheng had a black line and clinked glasses with Xiong Yao again.

In many materials in later generations, Wang Zheng knew that Xiong Yaohao was a bold person who valued feelings and commitments, and only hoped that quitting alcohol for a year could alleviate his condition.

After the banquet was over, Ma Fangqi was responsible for sending the slightly drunk Xiong Yaohao home, and when he left, Xiong Yaohao also shouted that Wang Zheng would drink again next time, and took Wang Zheng to mention the gentleman's agreement, and he left with an embarrassed smile.

Wang Guxian, who had not been touched by a drop of wine during the whole process, sent Wang Zheng and the five people to the hotel booked, and she didn't need to send it, but she couldn't stop Wang Guxian's enthusiasm.

After settling in at the hotel, Wang Zheng sent Wang Guxian downstairs to take the car, and in the elevator, Wang Guxian smiled toothily and said with a soft Baodao accent: "Director Wang, you are really amazing, I don't know how many relatives and friends have persuaded Master Gu to quit drinking, but in the end they all ended in failure, but I didn't expect to be successfully persuaded by Wang Dao in the end!"

Wang Zheng said with a smile: "How can it be so powerful as you say, Master Gu didn't agree positively in the end." ”

Wang Guxian shook his head: "Then you are wrong, with my understanding of Master Gu, if he can say such things, he will definitely keep your one-year appointment!"

"I hope so!"

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, quitting alcohol is not an easy task.

The two walked out of the hotel, and just as Wang Zheng was about to stop a taxi for her, Wang Guxian smiled slyly: "It's still early, Wang Dao, I'll take you to eat the special snacks of our treasure island, otherwise your stomach will be hungry in the middle of the night!"

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment and nodded embarrassedly, he hadn't touched his chopsticks at night but was discovered by this careful little girl, the food was really not to his taste.
