Section 3: The Agony of the Careerist

After marriage, Lu Yong immediately devoted himself to the creation of new scripts and the operation of software companies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Moreover, he has to take time out of his busy schedule to go to various TV stations to do talent shows, desperately trying to make money. In this way, he and Guo Yao got together less and separated more, which caused the dissatisfaction of Guo Yao, who had already given birth to a son.

So, that night, Lu Yong, who was drunk, had just returned to his residence in the Xinghai Pearl Community in Nanhu Middle Park, Chaoyang District, and had a quarrel with Guo Yao, who was wearing red pajamas and holding a child in his arms.

Guo Yao said loudly, "You are either writing a script, or you are going out to work and drink, and you are about to treat our mother and son as air, you say, are you human?" The child in her arms was also crying.

But Lu Yong fell on the bed "fully armed", and said with a stiff tongue, "You, you are born in happiness and don't know blessings, I don't work hard, what do you eat and drink?" Stop making a fuss and go to bed. ”

Guo Yao was in a hurry, took a stride to the side of the bed, and suddenly raised his right leg and kicked Lu Yong's abdomen, "You get up for me!" Get up! ”

Lu Yong was in unbearable pain, jumped up, and slapped Guo Yao's right cheek hard, "It's over!" Well? ”

"Wow!" Guo Yao cried bitterly, turned around and ran out of the residence.

At this time, Lu Yong had also woken up most of the time and chased Guo Yao away, but Lu Yong was anesthetized by alcohol and had a nervous disorder in his brain, which caused his body to run and shake and not obey the call, and after a while, he chased Guo Yao away.

After that, Lu Yong drove to the Guo family's compound in Zhangzikou Village, Yangsong Town, Huairou District, and he thought that Guo Yao must have returned to his father with his child.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yong arrived outside the Guo family's compound, he pushed the unlocked courtyard door, stepped into the courtyard, and came to the brightly lit office, where he saw Guo Yao with the child in his arms and his father-in-law Guo Baishun with a sad face.

At this moment, Lu Yong stood there and said embarrassedly, "Dad, I'm ...... I want to take Yaoyao back. ”

Guo Yao was reluctant, "Stinky and shameless, whoever goes back with you will divorce tomorrow!" ”

"Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense!" Guo Baishun was furious, suppressed the anger in his heart again, looked at Lu Yong and sighed, "Lu Yong, I know that you are very busy now, very beautiful, and wealthy. However, even if you are high, you should not tie your knotted couple! What's more, Yaoyao has been with you through ups and downs for many years, she has no credit and hard work, besides, is it a skill for you to bully a woman? ”

This sentence made Lu Yong's face red, and he suddenly felt "wronged" in his heart, but he had to muster up the courage to admit his mistake, "Dad, I was wrong." ”

When Guo Baishun heard this, his eyes moistened, "Lu Yong, you have to remember that Yaoyao has paid too much for you." ”

Guo Yao, who was on the side, also shed tears with his father.

In the end, Lu Yong pushed Jinshan to fall over the jade pillar, knelt in front of Guo Yao, and after some repentance, the two sides reconciled.

……

……

Half a month later, Lu Yong, who had dealt with family conflicts, devoted himself to the creation of the script again; make money on entertainment programs; and the next step in the selection of the film. As a result, he was so busy that he left behind the promise he had promised Guo Yao a few days ago that he would cherish the relationship between husband and wife.

And Guo Yao was quite dissatisfied with Lu Yong's behavior of saying one thing and doing another, but she gradually understood her husband. However, she was always worried about her husband, who was already suffering from hepatitis, and she feared that she would become a widow at a young age.

On this day, Lu Yong was invited to participate in a film festival in a certain place, so he rushed here by plane at night, but as soon as he got off the plane and wanted to leave the airport with his entourage, he received a call from Wu Xiaodong.

So, in a cold environment, Lu Yong put his mobile phone to his ear and asked, "Angkor, I'm out of town, are you okay?" ”

Wu Xiaodong said loudly, "Alas, something big happened again, the logistics company was set on fire last night, the fire was very fierce, and even the old Wang who fought was burned alive!" ”

"What!" Lu Yong was surprised, and asked urgently, "Why didn't you notify me last night?" ”

Wu Xiaodong explained, "I've been dealing with this all night, how can I have time to call you!" And he said, "Come back, I'll be waiting for you outside the office building." ”

Lu Yong sighed and reluctantly agreed, "Okay." ”

In this way, Lu Yong, who had not yet arrived at the film festival, took another plane back to Beijing, and the fatigue of the journey, coupled with the pressure of film and television work, and the adverse events of the logistics company, made the sad Lu Yong's liver area feel faint pain again, so that as soon as he got off the capital airport, he retched nonstop, but Lu Yong still held on.

After that, that is, at a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Lu Yong took the subway alone and came to the office building of the logistics company, and met Wu Xiaodong, who had dark circles and a tired face under his eyes.

Lu Yong asked urgently, "How are things handled?" ”

Wu Xiaodong stretched out his tongue, licked his thin lips that were dry by the autumn wind, and replied, "I have settled the family of the deceased, and the arsonist was also caught by the police, but the landlord has not negotiated." ”

Lu Yong asked again, "What did the landlord say?" ”

Wu Xiaodong frowned and replied, "He wants eight million private." ”

"What! Million? Is he crazy about money, this building is only worth a few dollars? Lu Yong calmed down and said, "You tell him, at most four million, otherwise there will be no son!" ”

Wu Xiaodong was a little embarrassed, "This ...... That's okay! ”

Lu Yong was anxious, "You are willing to give it to you, I don't have that spare money!" ”

Wu Xiaodong felt that this sentence was very harsh, "I said brother, when you touch your upper and lower lips, you are happy, but you have never thought about it for me, it is me who offends people, not you!" ”

Lu Yong also suddenly felt that he was a little impulsive and speechless, so he hurriedly explained, "Angkor, I am very busy during this time, and I am very irritable, so I ......"

Wu Xiaodong raised his palm and made a gesture of "stop", "Brother, don't say it, brother understands you, brother knows that you are not that kind of person." ”

When Lu Yong heard this, he cried inexplicably, "Brother, I'm really tired, really." ”

Wu Xiaodong patted Lu Yong on the shoulder and said gently, "If you want to open a little, you still have to go." ”

"Hmm." Lu Yong nodded, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and looked sideways at the six-story small building that had been burned to the point that only the building itself had been burned to, and the walls were covered with black dirt, and he was in a sad mood.

He thought to himself, "Once upon a time, part of my dream was to live in this high-rise building, but now after the dream comes true, I am not only unhappy, but on the contrary, I feel inexplicably lonely, irritable, and restless. Or is it the only way I can find myself if I get away from the crowd? Helpless!"

……

……

A month later, the logistics company caught fire, and finally compensated the family of the deceased with 500,000 yuan; The landlord ended up with 4.5 million yuan.

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and half a year has passed, and the new script "Lu Lu You" created by Lu Yong has passed the review of the company's senior management, and all shareholders of the company have unanimously decided to appoint Lu Yong as the producer, director, and screenwriter of the play.

At this point, Lu Yong has devoted all his energy to the selection of the protagonist, but it is precisely because of this that some of Lu Yong's old friends, including Yan Wenqing, Li San, Ma Xiyang, Du Fang, Yao Jin, and even his brother Lu Sen, have volunteered to visit or fight for a role; Or they take money from others and do things for others. All in all, old friends have been here, but none of them have left happily.

In this regard, Lu Yong offended a lot of friends, of course, there are also friends who understand Lu Yong, because these people know that making a good movie not only requires a good script, a good director, and actors with excellent acting skills are also key elements, so you can't abuse artists for the sake of so-called favors, and make a big mistake.

……

……

After another half a year of planning, the actors and funds for the movie "Lulu Promising" have all been in place. However, Lu Yong was quite dissatisfied with the fact that the company's senior management only invested 30 million in the film. He believes that the film "Lame", which he wrote and directed before, was a sensation and created an amazing box office, so the company's senior management should pay attention to him and give him more funds to make the next film. Now, the high-level management has shrunk funds for no reason, which makes Lu Yong, who wants to do a big job, have the idea of quitting halfway.

On this day, about a week before the start of "Lulu Youxing", the boss Gao Jun took several shareholders to a banquet for Lu Yong and the heroes and heroines of the play in the Chinese restaurant of the China Film Hotel.

During the banquet, Gao Jun still talked so loudly, singing the praises of "the great rivers and mountains of the motherland", but Lu Yong was used to hearing this tone, so he didn't feel it.

Gao Jun raised his glass and said with a smile, "Everyone, in a week, "Lulu Promising" will be launched, here I wish you all a successful career and a bright future, and I also wish the show another box office miracle under the direction of Director Lu, do it!" ”

As he spoke, Gao Jun raised his neck and drank all the beer in the cup, and everyone followed suit.

Immediately, Lu Yong, who put down the wine glass, said with the strength of the wine, "Mr. Gao, I think the funds invested in "Lulu Youxing" ...... Too much. ”

"Oh!" This sentence stunned Gao Jun and several other shareholders.

So, Gao Jun didn't understand what he meant, and asked tentatively, "Director Lu, are you kidding?" ”

Lu Yong thought for a moment before replying, "It's not a joke." ”

Gao Jun asked again: "Then how much do you say you should invest?" ”

Lu Yong glanced at the people present, and then focused his gaze on Gao Jun's face, "I think this amount should be invested!" ”

Lu Yong said, stretching out the thumb and index finger of his right hand.

When Gao Jun saw this, he suddenly realized, and he finally understood that Lu Yong thought that the company's investment in the film was too small, so he said the opposite.

However, Gao Jun did not intend to cater to Lu Yong, so he also said the opposite: "The amount of money invested is a bit much, but the pressure of the market tends to be that the company must not reduce investment, I hope you don't have too many ideas." ”

"Huh!" Lu Yong's face turned red instantly because Gao Jun didn't give face, but he still held back his anger and said calmly, "Since this is the case, I want to quit." ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking everyone, and also making Gao Jun, who has always been high, worried.

At the same time, Lu Yong, who was in a complicated mood, stared at the hesitant Gao Jun, waiting for him to make a final decision.
