Chapter 122: Filling the Pit
For propaganda, Lu Yan has always held a dispensable attitude, not pretending to be high or anything else, people go to high places, water flows to low places, if it can be better, he will not be stupid to refuse.
Before getting acquainted with Zhao Kui'e, he had more utilitarian thoughts about Chen Baoguo, the teacher, and the most fundamental difference between the two also indicated that sooner or later this relationship would slowly fade, but Zhao Kui'e's appearance was unexpected, or her experience and insight were something that Lu Yan had never imagined.
Zhao Kui'e loves to nag, but she has not yet reached menopause or is too old to have a clear mind, and she chatters about some short, trivial and other heartwarming things in her parents all day long, and the occasional repetition is mostly used to show which things should be paid attention to and which ones should not be taken too seriously.
She has always thought that it is quite ridiculous to hype for no reason, although it has accumulated a seemingly majestic popularity and voice in a short period of time, but in the long run, who will remember a single individual who is difficult to relate to any event?
The overwhelming propaganda will inevitably win temporary attention, but these attention may not all be good-natured, like and hate, all in a thought, it is difficult to distinguish between gain and loss, even at the moment, it is difficult to distinguish clearly, the wool will eventually come out of the sheep, and he can't do it if he spends money to buy scolding.
Training as always, but once something happens, it is bound to induce a series of unpredictable consequences or follow-up causes, Lu Yan and Huayi's joint show is undoubtedly a success, at least in the current mainland entertainment industry, this is a bad or bad innovation, in the original, although the first-line signing will also open a press conference, but it will never be so grand, so the world knows, and four years of 100 million undoubtedly increased enough to talk about the gimmick, almost from the next day, Lu Yan's words are once again flooded in the pages of major entertainment media, some are good, some are bad, for most brokerage companies, Lu Yan and Huayi have undoubtedly become the initiators of a certain atmosphere, if everyone follows in the future, then the brokerage company's profits will be gone?
People are popular, right and wrong are inevitable, for some not very good statements, Lu Yan expected it in advance, just like Zhao Kui'e said, like and hate, all in one thought, so I didn't pay much attention to it, at the end of the training, Liu Tao also finished filming "The Founding of the Great Song Dynasty", Lu Yan deliberately took a moment to prepare to go to Chen Baoguo with her to have a look, and an old acquaintance came to the door.
"Yanzi?"
Just as he was about to get into the car, he heard a somewhat familiar voice behind him, Lu Yan had already leaned into half of the car and retreated, turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man standing a few meters away, tall, with slightly dark skin, but a little thinner than in his memory.
Some of the people who had dealings a few years ago can't remember it clearly, but the one in front of him, Lu Yan can't forget it, and he doesn't dare to forget it, and even as the road becomes more and more smooth and open, he occasionally has some inexplicable panic because of him.
But on his face, as if nothing had happened, he said: "Yo, Brother Bing, where have you made a fortune recently?" How do you remember that brother I came? ”
"Hey, what's the fortune? Just eat with a mouthful of food" Wang Bing laughed a little embarrassed, looked at the middle-aged man in his thirties in the driver's seat, and asked, "Is there an emergency?" ”
Lu Yan looked at his smile and trembled in his heart for no reason, in that moment, he even felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was not Wang Bing, just a person with the same face, or, a ghost.
"Heh, it's a little, what's that...."Before he finished speaking, he was hugged by Wang Bing's shoulders, and what entered his nose was a strong smell of tobacco mixed with sweat.
"Hey, what's polite, I haven't seen you for several years, what's the matter, it's not uncommon to talk to brothers when you're popular?"
"Heh, that's not it" Lu Yan laughed dryly, in the act of beating Wang Bing, he had already noticed something abnormal, although the two were also familiar, but they never had a friendship to this point.
"Looking for a place to drink?"
After hesitating, Lu Yan finally nodded, he couldn't hide, he wanted to call Li Xue or Chen Baoguo, but he was hugged by Wang Bing, he didn't dare to do that.
"Forgot something?" As soon as she returned to the hotel, she happened to meet Chen Shu who had finished packing her things, she was stunned, glanced at Wang Bing next to her, and thought it was his new driver.
"Well, yes" he winked at her twice, but it was obvious that she didn't understand what he meant, and even nodded as if she didn't see it at all, and walked over.
"Hey, waiter, open a private room, our brothers have a good drink today"
After entering the private room, they all sat down, and Lu Yan was not in a hurry to leave, looking at the current situation, he was afraid that the other party had something to tell him.
"What should Brother Bing eat?"
"You can order casually, our brothers haven't seen each other for so long, what to eat is not to eat? Enough feelings"
I ordered a few dishes, didn't ask for wine, and had to go through Chen Baoguo in the afternoon, but at the end of the day, Wang Bing stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Hey, what does it mean to eat vegetables, what is it, come to a bottle of wine, pick up the good ones", turned his head, and saw Lu Yan staring at himself intently, he suddenly smiled: "Hey, look at your stinginess, brother will pay for it." ”
"Heh, that's not what I mean," he smiled wryly and asked, "Didn't I hear that Brother Bing went to the south to do furniture business?" ”
"Hey, don't mention that, I really didn't expect that, after a few years, brother, you will become a billionaire, as the old saying goes, the world is unpredictable, I'm afraid it's him Li Yapeng, I want to break my head and think of my brother You can have today" He squinted, and his smiling face flashed with an inexplicable look, as if he was just talking about an inconsequential little thing.
Lu Yan's hand on his knee squeezed it tightly, but he still tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, and said, "It's all luck." ”
Wang Bing lay on the back of the chair, waved his hands, and shook his head: "Isn't it modest, you said that people live for a lifetime, who hasn't seen one or two opportunities, but what you can really seize is the real ability, just like brother, I knew it earlier, it's better to do it honestly, maybe it's a famous director now." ”
"Listen to Brother Bing, are you going to go back to your old job?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult, I haven't touched the opportunity for a few years, and I don't know if there is a quasi-head from previous years" He sat up a little straighter, took out a cigarette, lit it with a "click", and smoked violently.
"Sir, excuse me, your order has arrived"
"Come, eat the vegetables first"
There was smoke in his nostrils, and Wang Bing Lisuo turned on the wine bottle opened by the waiter, and said: "Hey, what are you trying to eat, it's been two or three years, it's not easy for us to see each other, come, drink some first, there is a good saying, the feelings are deep, the feelings are shallow, lick it, come, it's done." ”
Lu Yan picked up the wine glass, slowly moved it to his lips, and was about to touch his lips, when he suddenly met Wang Bing's gaze, he had a strange feeling, as if in the eyes of the other party, he was exactly the same as the dish on the plate in front of him.
He slowly put down the wine glass, and no longer maintained a reluctant smile on his face: "Brother Bing isn't there something, right?" ”
"Hey, what can I do?" He paused, looked at the door closed, turned his head to look at his face again, patted his head, and said, "You said this, I really remembered something, in fact, it's not a big deal for you, brother, it's just... My brother doesn't have a lot of money lately, and he wants to borrow some money to turn around. ”
He nodded, just made a request, but he was afraid that he wouldn't say anything, he was too embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Oh, that's it, how much does that brother want to borrow?" ”
"100 million"
The little smile that came out just now gradually ended, and after looking at each other for a while, he said, "Heh, Brother Bing is not joking, right?" Even if you sell me, it's not worth that much money. ”
The smile on Wang Bing's face gradually disappeared, but his eyes swayed up and down on him: "Do you think I'm joking?" ”
"There are eight thousand children, brothers have them, and no matter how many they are, they really can't take them out"
Wang Bing scrubbed the stubble on his chin and smiled again, but it was a little different from what he remembered, and it seemed to be mixed with a little black paint: "In this way, you can't blame my brother for not being righteous, you say, if I go out and poke out the original incident, guess what the reaction of those media will be?" ”
"You want to lie to me?"
"Hey, don't you say it so ugly? What's wrong, don't worry, out of this door, you should forget, I'll forget it all."
"Thinking about money and going crazy, it's just an old thing, who would believe it?" As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door, he didn't want to stay with him any longer, he was no longer the photographer he had been, but a beast with a brain smoked by money.
"Don't move" After a while, his voice became louder: "Did you damn hear it, Lao Tzu told you not to move." ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the guy in Wang Bing's hand, and Lu Yan's half-cut steps also stopped abruptly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back at that moment, and the hand stretched out to the doorknob stopped in mid-air like an electric shock.
"Bing... Brother Bing..."
"Why are you in such a hurry, the chopsticks haven't moved yet, come and come, sit and sit, it's not too late to leave after eating, it's all money in exchange, it's a pity to waste it" Seeing that Lu Yan still didn't move, he suddenly shouted: "Are you deaf, Lao Tzu asked you to sit down." ”
"Heh, it's so much earlier, isn't it? If you think about it, is money or life important? ”
Lu Yan didn't speak for a long time, just watched Wang Bing in front of him eating and drinking, but his mind was spinning rapidly, measuring whether he dared or not.
After a long time, he laughed dryly and said, "Brother Bing, shall I tell you a story?" ”
Wang Bing swept his eyes on his face, and said: "That relationship is good, there is wine and stories, come, let's talk about it, let us also increase our knowledge." ”
"In Zhangwan Village, Beichen District, Tianjin, there is a family, No. 026, living five people, two old people in their sixties, the old man has been retired for several years, in addition to playing chess with the old man of the same age in the same village, there is no other hobby, early in the morning, I always use to ride an electric tricycle to send two grandchildren to school, oh, the name of the school is Beichen No. 2 Primary School, the boy is eight years old, in the second grade, the girl is two years older than him, the fourth grade...."
"Bang"
It's not a very good story, but Wang Bing's eyes gradually narrowed, and when Lu Yan talked about the two children, he suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table, and even overturned one with the plate, but he didn't care about this, but quickly reached out and picked up the swarthy thing on the table and pointed at the tip of Lu Yan's nose: "Shut up Lao Tzu." ”
"You don't dare"
"You can try"
Looking at Wang Bing's trembling lips and hands, Lu Yan's tense muscles soothed slightly, and said softly: "I, Lu Yan, it's over when it's over, at least I have enough money for my family to spend a lifetime, but Brother Bing, you haven't yet, right?" ”
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Stretched out his hand and slowly pulled Wang Bing's wrist aside, "I don't want me to do anything, but what you want to do, don't point this thing at me, it's still that sentence, there are eight thousand children, and my brother will never say half a word, but if there are more, you will kill me, and that is nothing." ”
"The surname Lu is ruthless enough, you are fucking ruthless enough" Wang Bing was like a deflated ball, and the whole person collapsed in the chair, but the two eyes were staring at him deadly, he knew that what Lu Yan said was right, he couldn't fight it himself.
"Don't say that, I'm just in case"
