Chapter 12: Talk

"Senior, how did you feel when you won the Best Actor?"

"To be honest, I was already confused at the time, and the acceptance speeches were all made up improvised. ”

"Wow, can the on-site editor be so calm?"

Of course, I can't show it on my face, and my heart is boiling. ”

"Liu Ye, it is rumored that you felt before and after winning the award...... Very bad, how did you recover?"

"Depression?oh, that's a bit of a bit, and I thought about finding a lake to dig into, and I did......"

"Huh?"

"Oh my God, senior, you can't think about it like that?"

"There's no way, it's too deep into the play and the outside world is criticized, Yali Mountain is big. ”

Liu Ye was accustomed to stealing his brother's golden sentences, looking up at the sky and being lonely, sighed, and then shook his head helplessly, suddenly patted Li Mu beside him, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my younger brother, if he hadn't dragged me back, I would have gone to Hades to report." ”

"Great! Sure enough, good people will be rewarded. ”

"Hey, it's all over, you said right, wood?"

"Uh-huh......"

Li Mu was silently destroying the food on the table, and he didn't bother to take care of him at all. He shook him twice before he glanced at him angrily, raised his wine glass to deal with it, and looked at Liu Ye, who was chatty, with a look of sympathy flashing in his eyes.

Brother, you have been issued a good person card, what is there to be happy about?

Today's dinner, don't look at it at the hot pot restaurant, in fact, Liu Ye has been carefully planning for five days.

If you look at this proportion of personnel, doesn't it explain the problem?

Among the six people present, half of them are Chinese opera, except for Zhao Wei and his classmates, the remaining two girls are all freshmen last year, regardless of age, they should be called Liu Ye seniors, but it is absolutely impossible for him to have the opportunity to hook up with the school sister directly. Zhao Yanzi is so familiar with him, she is obviously the convener of the girls, although Dong Xuan is a graduate of Beiying, she and Tong Liya are out-and-out good friends, and today's main role is to lead the way by matchmaking.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Ye also has thoughts about her.

As for Li Mu, who is completely out of step with the film and television industry, his role is even simpler, he is the mascot that Lao Liu carries with him, adding points to himself.

Originally, the president had already planned it, and as soon as the girls pushed the door, they showed off a while, and I heard that young people love this. Although this project was canceled due to changes, with the charm of his mature man, he can at least hook up with one, and his own lifelong events are basically settled, and everything is so perfect.

But what Liu Ye didn't know was that in the eyes of this group of girls, Li Mu's performance just now had already thrown off him.

Therefore, if the girls didn't have the intention of making a move on Xiao Xianrou, today's meal might just be a meal......

"Actually, you don't know, don't look at my brother's youth, he is still a big touch in the literary world. ”

"Big touch?"

"Great God. He wrote it, right?"

"Really, he's the author of the ghost blowing the lamp?, that Mu Wuwei?!"

"Alive!"

didn't talk for a few words, and this topic was led back to Li Mu by Liu Ye, looking at the other party's beautiful appearance that kept squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes...... No, it's a look in his eyes, and he can only say two expressionless hehes.

Sure enough, as soon as he talked about the ghost blowing the lamp, he couldn't run!

"Brother Ye is right. Li Mu originally planned to deal with the matter, but remembered that this was a stalk that Liu Ye specially used to tease his sister, and in order to highlight the greatness of the other party, he hurriedly added: "The book was published by him." ”

"That book is so popular, Liu Ye, you are doing well. "This is Zhao Yanzi, but her mouth is full of brain flowers, and her speech is a little slurred.

"Does the senior have any acquaintances at the publishing house?"

Tong Liya looked curious, looking at Liu Ye with inquisitive eyes, the president was secretly proud, this state is very good, curiosity about a man is just the beginning, this girl has already started to set......

Phew, it's fallen......

With a beautiful fantasy, Liu Ye narcissistically wiped his hairstyle full of wax, and said modestly: "It's nothing, I opened a book club with a wood partnership, which is self-financed, self-produced and sold, but I didn't ask anyone." ”

"Well, Xu is the reason for the novelty of the theme, and suddenly it became popular. ”

Li Mu said this sincerely, although the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in later generations is inevitable, but at the beginning, not to mention that there were not necessarily novels on the market with the theme of tomb robbery in the whole country, people have always been eager for this new thing, in fact, it is just a novelty.

Dong Xuan's task today has been completed, although he knows the success of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he has little interest in this type of novel, so he didn't speak from beginning to end, just quietly looked at the ecology on the dining table, Liu Ye's little expression naturally couldn't hide from this understanding person.

But she just looked at it, and saw that Liu Ye and Tong Liya were chatting more and more, and she didn't say anything, as a best friend, it can be said that she is quite interesting.

"Nenghuo naturally has its reason. Xuan Meiren put down her chopsticks, gently pulled out the mouth cloth folded into flowers, wiped her mouth elegantly, and looked at Li Mu with a smile in her eyes, "Little Brother Li, your pen name...... Does Mu Wuwei mean anything?"

She seems to be more interested in the author himself than in fiction.

Dong Xuan thinks that he is older than Li Mu, and he doesn't care about his identity as a best-selling author, and he doesn't suffer a loss when he calls his little brother. But what she didn't expect was that before she counted the heavy work, Li Mu, who was a person in two lives, had at least five opens, although she had been indifferent for the past eighteen years, but she was called a little brother by a girl in her early twenties, and she still felt a little awkward in her heart.

"It doesn't mean anything special, Mu is Mu, Li Mu's Mu. As for Wuwei......" Li Mu paused, he was wondering if there were any lofty words in his mind that could explain the past.

Wu Wei was his master's name, and when the book was about to be published, he was a waste wood......

"Ha, people say that the article is made by nature and the magic hand is obtained. Li Mu shook the straight wine glass, looked at the golden liquid in the glass and foamed at the thin white foam, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm just a recorder, and what I do is just record those words and sentences with a pen." ”

"If you don't do anything, you can't do anything. ”

Although there is the possibility of pretending to be invisible, Li Mu is telling the truth, because the ghost blowing the lamp is indeed not his work, and he was a copyist at that time, also because he couldn't live anymore and wanted to make money to make ends meet.

However, Li Mu has no regrets, and there is no guilt. If he were asked to choose again, he would still choose to copy the book, because the basic need of human survival is to fill his stomach, and in order to live, is it important to do anything else?

He just followed his survival instincts.

………

Dong Xuan stared intently at Li Mu, who had a calm face, as if he wanted to distinguish whether what he said was true or false. However, after more than ten seconds of staring at each other, she suddenly smiled, knocked the glass turntable with the wine glass, and then drank the wine in the glass.

"What a no-do. ”

She wiped the remaining wine from the corner of her mouth, and Li Mu watched her white fingers scratch around the delicate red lips, and she was a little dazed.

I was stunned for a second, and said that the girls were so drunk that they couldn't help it.

"Xuan beauty, open bright!"

After a thumbs up, the goods took up and blew a bottle directly......

Dong Xuan was a little confused, she hadn't figured out when she had such a name, but she was stopped by Li Mu's sudden boldness, which was obviously inconsistent with the previous precocious painting style.

immediately smiled happily, and looked at Li Mu with a little more realism in his eyes. Sure enough, this is what a boy of this age should be......

"Hey, I said that inaction is great. This time it was Wang Zhi who had been churning in the pot just now, she moved the chair to Li Mu's side, and directly hooked his shoulders and dragged him over, "Can you reveal when will the second part of Ghost Blowing Lantern be published?"

Good fellow, this girl has a lot of hands.

didn't have time to complain about the female man's self-cooked behavior, Li Mu quietly brushed off the arm she was pressing on her shoulder, took a piece of blood tofu and threw it into the oil bowl, and said while dipping it in the seasoning: "The second part hasn't started yet, but the outline has been prepared." As for the publication, I will discuss it with Brother Ye after the manuscript is completed. ”

"So quickly?" Wang Zhi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be really a die-hard fan, "Then can you tell me what kind of tomb was dug this time?"

"Xuanxuan ......"

At this time, Tong Liya, who was asking Liu Ye for advice on how to improve her acting skills, heard Wang Zhi begging for spoilers there, and seemed to be worried that Li Mu would be angry because of this, so she hurriedly dragged her.

If you let the author spoil, it is tantamount to letting people tell you the passbook password, and speaking is the most taboo and profound, which is in danger of being plagiarized, and no author can be happy.

However, Li Mu didn't think about it so much, so he relied on Wang Zhi's character to tell her all the rest of the story, and it was not necessarily rare to take it out to make money. What's more, Li Mu saw that she was a little bit of a casserole and asked the end, so he planned to casually explode some information for her to prevaricate, and it also ended quietly.

Chong Tong Liya waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, Li Mu said: "I can't tell you what kind of tomb to explore, Brother Ye and I can sell this for money......

"It's a shame. ”

"Wood, don't be so stingy. The sister's attention was diverted, and Liu Ye quietly came over, shamelessly picking up the spoilers for his brother.

"But I can tell you about the inspiration for the second part. Ignoring Wang Zhi's cuteness and Liu Ye's instigation, Li Mu took the tail of the chopsticks and dipped some sesame oil on the table, and drew a rather abstract pattern on the table.

"This is ......" The servant tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, and then Tong Liya asked weakly in an uncertain tone: "Shoes?"

"That's right. Li Mu smiled and tore a piece of tissue, wiped off the oil stains, and picked up the remaining half of the winter melon and put it in the pot: "This is an embroidered shoe from Qianming." ”

Pull it down, as far as you are a painter, who can tell if it is a shoe?

Tucao is complaining, they include Dong Xuan and Zhao Wei, who have been eating and drinking, and they all play the role of the audience very well at this time, using silence to set off the atmosphere of the story.

"I have a friend who has a door in Panjiayuan, and he specializes in dumping some antiquities. Some time ago, he kept this shoe, and since then he has been restless, if I have to say that I was matched with a secret marriage, I will crack it for him. ”

"Little Brother Li, you still have this kind of metaphysical skill?"

"How can it be, he just didn't sleep well and the shadow in his heart caused him to hallucinate. I went over and lit a soothing incense stick, and it was solved. ”

Li Mu was half-truthful, mixing Lao Jin's receipt with the ghost and talking nonsense. After blocking those gods and ghosts, he actually frightened these people, looking like "I see".

"It's interesting, so I'll take a look at it. Li Mu picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and concluded succinctly, "The second part of the ghost blowing the lamp starts with an embroidered shoe. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was silence, leaving only the boiling soup pot bubbling and making a gurgling and tumbling sound.

It's 2005, midsummer, and there's still a hot pot in the house, but there's still an inexplicable chill in everyone's hearts.

Without him, the anti-special TV series dressed in thriller skin two years ago scared a lot of people when it was broadcast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the shadow of many people's childhood.

That drama is called "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes"!

Thinking about the theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", coupled with the embroidered shoes that the author personally broke the news, they only felt a chill down their spines and shuddered.

Of course, Li Mu didn't know how rich their associations were, he was glad that his ears were finally clear, and it was so tiring to chat with these girls who were going to be popular in the future......

"Wow!"

Just when the atmosphere was so quiet that it seemed to freeze, the door of the box was pushed open.

"I'm sorry, I'm late......"

The moment someone entered the door, he suddenly felt that several eyes were locked on him. I saw that everyone was looking at him, and the movements at hand stopped in mid-air, this battle, Rao is a seven-foot man, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Uh...... Am I here a little early?"
