Chapter 452: Old and Young Match [Three Watches]
Li Ruoxun fell asleep on the sofa after calling Lin Youlun, and she was woken up by a knock on the door.
When I opened my eyes, I felt that my mouth and tongue were very dry, like a hard shell; The body is cold to the bone, covered with a blanket, and the enterprise seems to be not covered with anything; The limbs are sore, and it is always uncomfortable to bend and stretch like this.
Struggling to get up, he walked over and opened the door, and then he felt the world spin around, and he didn't even see who was outside the door, and he fell crookedly on the outside.
Li Ruoxun fell at the door like this, which startled Lin Youlun, he stepped forward to support Li Ruoxun, and there was a doctor who came with him, seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to check Li Ruoxun.
"I passed out with a fever, the problem is quite serious, and I have to be hospitalized." Doctors were quick to come to a conclusion.
Lin Youlun didn't say a word, picked up Li Ruoxun and walked downstairs.
ββ
Li Ruoxun woke up at noon the next day, she opened her eyes and found her parents and several older brothers and sisters, as well as the younger brother and younger sister, a group of people sitting nervously in front of her hospital bed.
Li Ruoxun was born in a large family with ten children, and she ranked seventh. Because of the large number of children, the conditions at home have not been very good, which is also the reason why Li Ruoxun came out to work before he was 18 years old.
When her mother saw her open her eyes, she was so excited that she leaned into her father's arms and kept wiping her tears.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Qi woke up and you still cried. The doctors said that she was in good health and that she would be fine for two days. Father Li kept comforting Mother Li.
"Where is this, why are you all here?" Li Ruoxun was in a coma for nearly a day, and during this time, he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao.
The third sister took Li Ruoxun's hand. "This is the hospital. You're sick and that's why you're here. Don't you even remember? β
Li Ruoxun shook his head.
The fifth brother then asked, "Do you remember who sent you to the hospital?" β
Li Ruoxun still shook his head.
The family around the hospital bed looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, Li Ruoxun didn't tell his family that his illness was so serious, fortunately he met a good person, otherwise he didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
"Seventh sister, how did you know Lin Youlun?" The youngest brother in the family put his head in front of Li Ruoxun and asked curiously.
"Ade, how many times have I told you. Shout Mr. Lin! The third sister knocked on the little brother's head.
"He said I could just call him by his name, why should you care about me?" The younger brother rubbed his sore head and said dissatisfiedly.
"You still dare to talk back?" The third sister raised her hand, and the younger brother hurriedly hid behind the sixth sister who loved him the most.
"Alain, don't protect her, today I have to teach this impolite guy a lesson!" The third sister said menacingly.
The sixth sister began to help the younger brother intercede, but the third sister was really angry this time, and she must teach the younger brother a lesson.
Father spoke at this time, "Tongtong she just woke up, what are you making trouble in the ward?" Out of the clouds. Get out of here! β
Several siblings were kicked out of the ward, and Li's father closed the door. Mother Li reached out to help Li Ruoxun brush the hair on her face, took her hand and asked, "Tongtong, you tell your mother, how did you meet Mr. Lin?" β
Li Ruoxun had roughly guessed the origin of the incident from the conversation between her sister and brother just now, it should be the hospital that Lin Youlun sent her, and her family members had already learned about it.
"I met him on the plane and had a few words with him, and then he said he was looking for me to make a movie, and then left me a business card." Li Ruoxun remarked with reservations what he and Lin Youlun had met.
"What, you quit your job?" Father Li was taken aback, "Then what will you do with your life in the future?" β
"Why are you shouting so loudly, quit when you quit, don't ask for leave when you're sick, it's better not to do it for that kind of black-hearted company!" Mother Li glared at Li's father, patted Li Ruoxun's hand and said, "Tongtong, you will move back to live with your mother when you are discharged from the hospital, you are living outside alone now, and we are not at ease." You don't have to worry about work, Mr. Lin came to see you in the morning, and he said that he would arrange a role for you soon, and he would be paid a lot. β
"You think it's that easy to be a star? Hair is long and insightful is short. Father Li sat down on the edge of the bed, "Tongtong, listen to Dad, and then look for a job after being discharged from the hospital, I always feel that the job of an actor is not very reliable, girls still need to find a stable job, and it is the right thing to get married early." β
Mother Li retorted: "I said are you old and confused, Mr. Lin has agreed to arrange a role for Tongtong, and there is a salary of tens of thousands of yuan for acting in a movie, which is better than staying on the plane every day as a flight attendant, right?" β
"For no reason, why does he want to help your daughter? I'm afraid that Tongtong will be deceived by him, haven't you seen the newspaper say that he and many female stars are not clear, do you also want your daughter to be a lover? β
"What's wrong with being a lover, it's better than living in a housing village for the rest of your life, squeezing buses on the street, and being tired and tired and always being looked down upon, right? Besides, is Mr. Lin the kind of person you say? β
Mother Li quarreled with Mai Mangdi and Father Li.
Li Ruoxun covered his head with the quilt, "Okay, don't quarrel, I want to calm down by myself." β

"The Speed of Life and Death" earned nearly 10 million box office on the first day of release, and it was a sensation in Hong Kong!
Zheng Yijian, who starred in a movie for the first time, became an instant hit with this film, but the happiest was Xiang Huaqiang of Yongsheng Film Company.
At the beginning, Lin Youlun named Zheng Yijian to play the role of Chen Haonan in "Crazy Boy", Xiang Huaqiang didn't say anything on his face, but he complained to people in private.
The other characters in the film are more or less famous, but only Zheng Yijian is a newcomer who is not famous, so Xiang Huaqiang is worried that the box office of the movie will be affected.
And this can't be blamed on Xiang Huaqiang's heart, mainly because the weight of red flowers and green leaves in this movie is seriously out of balance, Chen Xiaochun, the second male in the film, is now a very popular newcomer in the Hong Kong film industry because of his role in "Black Super SWAT Team", and Wu Zhenyu and Huang Qiusen are even more veteran, one has acted in many famous movies, and the other won the Academy Award for actor in the first movie...... Such a star old drama bone revolves around a newcomer, which is really a little uneasy.
The success of "Speed of Life and Death". gave Xiang Huaqiang a shot in the arm. He never greeted Zheng Yijian on the set before. This time, he called Zheng Yijian to his side for the first time and said a few words of encouragement and optimism.
On the other hand, Hong Kong film critics also gave high praise to the movie "Speed of Life and Death".
The plot of this movie is basically the same as that of a thriller, with intense fights, a rescue at a moment's notice, and love and love arising from life and death, but what makes this film special is that it provides a new genre for thriller filming.
From the bus confrontation at the beginning to the subway murder at the back, the film closely revolves around the explosion crisis. Er Dongsheng is a racing driver himself, and his performance of this kind of life and death speed is very good, and the audience who walks into the theater can clearly feel the tension, and even someone can find that immersive feeling when they watch it for the second time.
When the film was released in North America, the box office exceeded $50 million in just one week, and it undoubtedly became the box office leader of Hong Kong films in the North American market in 89.
"The Speed of Life and Death" was an unprecedented hit, and Er Dongsheng turned over with this movie. completely got rid of all kinds of doubts about him from the media and the public, and truly completed the gorgeous transformation from actor to director. Zhang Manyu, who has always been called a vase. His performance in this film was also affirmed by everyone.
The director is on fire, the hero and heroine are on fire, but nothing happens to Zhai Long, who did not play the villain, he said at the premiere that he never wanted to play the bad guy again, but after "The Speed of Life and Death" caused a sensation, more people asked him to play the villain, which made him very depressed.
At this time, Zhai Long received a call from Lin Youlun.
Lin Youlun mentioned on the phone that the two of them said that they were good at the last premiere, and he now has a good script and asked Zhai Long if he would like to act.
Of course Zhai Long was willing, he put down the phone and rushed over, but after listening to Lin Youlun's introduction, his heart suddenly became half cold.
Lin Youlun asked him to play a retired policeman this time, his wife remarried a rich man, and his daughter didn't recognize him, he desperately wanted to get his daughter's approval and his wife's forgiveness, but reality defeated him again and again. Zhilu said that his daughter likes to sing, and he specially bought a tape recorder for his daughter for her birthday, but the wealthy stepfather directly brought his daughter a purebred racehorse from the United Kingdom...... Always in Zhai Long's opinion, this is a character who has declined to the extreme.
Playing such a role is not as pleasant as playing a villain, at least I don't feel so aggrieved.
Originally, Zhai Long could only hold these words in his heart, but after Lin Youlun introduced this character, he picked up his coffee and asked him what he thought of this role, Zhai Long couldn't hold back, so he said everything in his heart.
After saying that, Zhai Long regretted it, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Lin Youlun's expression sitting opposite, thinking uneasily in his heart whether he would offend Lin Youlun because of these words.
Lin Youlun's reaction was very strange, and he asked repeatedly: "Mr. Tan really thinks this character is very weak?" β
He had already said it just now, and Zhai Long couldn't overturn it at this time, so he had to admit it.
Lin Youlun nodded, not only did he not have the slightest unpleasant expression on his face, but he looked very relaxed.
"The design of this character is to suppress first and then promote, in normal life he is indeed a failure, but in some special circumstances, he can become a hero."
As soon as Zhai Long heard this, he looked at Lin Youlun with unblinking eyes, and after a long time, it turned out that Lin Youlun was deliberately selling Guanzi.
But it was finally clear, and Zhai Long comforted himself like this in his heart.
The protagonist's daughter, who had just turned 17, insisted on going on vacation to France with her friends, and at first the protagonist strongly objected, but the daughter's decision was supported by her mother and stepfather, and then she left her parents for the first time and came to Paris, France. Unfortunately, a group of kidnappers kidnapped the two. β
When Lin Youlun said this, Zhai Long had already understood what the statement of first suppressing and then raising was referring to, in this kind of emergency, the identity of the protagonist's retired criminal policeman suddenly changed from a failed father to a hero who could save his daughter, and the plot later, without Lin Youlun saying, Zhai Long can almost guess eight or nine times out of ten.
The protagonist goes through many difficulties and finally defeats the bandits, rescues the kidnapped daughter, and then reconciles the father and daughter.
The story is still clichΓ©, but the construction of the characters makes the story sound very different.
"Most of the action movie audiences are generally men, and this story, I hope to make it a unisex movie, for women, everyone wants to have a heroic father like the protagonist who can save themselves from the trouble, and for men, everyone wants to be able to be a hero like the protagonist to win back everything they have lost, I think if this film can do this, it will be considered a success."
Lin Youlun said his main thoughts on this film, and looked at Zhai Long with his hands folded: "The only thing I'm worried about now is that this movie will involve a lot of thrilling actions, and not all of these actions can use stand-ins, or there are quite a few dangerous actions that need to be completed by the actors themselves...... Is Mr. Tan sure he is competent? β
Zhai Long wasn't sure if Lin Youlun was using the agitation method, but the pride in his bones didn't allow him to receive such suspicions.
"It's not said with your mouth, you have to try it to know the way, what does Mr. Lin think?"
Lin Youlun raised his hand and applauded, "Then I'll wait and see." β
ββ
After Zhai Long left, the position he was sitting in was replaced by Wu Yusen.
Lin Youlun had already changed a new cup of coffee in front of him, his back was completely leaned back in the chair, and his expression looked very casual.
On the contrary, the expression on Wu Yusen's face at the moment was very solemn.
"Really?" Lin Youlun took a sip of coffee and asked after putting it down.
A very simple question, but Wu Yusen hesitated for a long time.
Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, who have been friends for so many years, are now making trouble to the point of breaking up peacefully, which is indeed a little unimaginable, and the fuse of this incident is the "Heroes of Righteousness" funded by the great director Zhang Che.
This film is produced by Xu Ke, directed by Wu Yusen, and the cast also includes stars like Jiang Dawei and Li Xiuxian.
Xu Ke and Wu Yusen's differences in film creation are also completely on the table because of this movie.
