Chapter 397, a friend came from afar
Jin Zhu didn't know how to deal with Yuan Yuan's matter in the end, Jin Zhu didn't ask, and Kang Xin didn't say anything.
And the relationship between Jin Zhu and Kang Xin was also very delicate after that, although Kang Xin said that she had resumed lunch with everyone in the cafeteria, but both of them knew in their hearts that something was still different.
Fortunately, both of them were busy during this time, Jin Zhu was needless to say, so busy that she didn't even have time for a lunch break, Kang Xin was not much better than Jin Zhu, she was busy adapting the script with Zhao Xin during this time, and the two of them also had to participate in a national "Ancient Chinese Poetry" competition, so during this time, the two were almost inseparable on campus except for classes, so that many people thought that the two of them had become a couple.
After Li Xiang's sketch came out, in order to draw formal drawings, he no longer lived in the crew, and went home after the daily shooting task, and then drew drawings with Jin Zhu, he drew the formal house structure and garden layout, and Jin Zhu depicted a street market map according to his sketch, although there were only a few characters on each painting, but each character's clothing, hair accessories, and head shape were depicted according to his identity and dynasty, and the expressions were different.
Due to the rush of time, Li Xiang was unable to complete all the designs of the sixteen dynasties in the end, he only selected ten dynasties of the pre-Qin, Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and painted a total of ten scrolls, and Jin Zhu also painted ten paintings.
At the beginning of December, Li Xiang finally flew to Japan on the last day of the deadline to hand over the ten design drawings and ten paintings to the organizers, and stayed in Tokyo for only a few hours before taking the plane back on the same day and returning directly to the crew from the airport.
At that time, Jin Zhu's second novel also began to end, at Christmas, accompanied by Jin Yang, she flew to the magic capital again, signed the copyright transfer contract of this novel, Director Zhang's copyright fee was given 2 million, it is still 37 open, Jin Zhu 7 website 3, the conditions of the publishing house are also the same, but they said that they plan to reprint Jin Zhu's first novel 100,000 copies when this set of novels is published, because there is already news on the Internet that Director Zhang is going to shoot the movie "The Biography of Li Yuan", And the script has been finalized to adapt the novel of the same name by best-selling author Yang Jinzhu, as soon as the news comes out, it is estimated that Jinzhu's book will sell a lot, and they want to take a ride.
got the royalties of 3.6 million for the 300,000 novels settled by the publishing house and Jin Zhu, plus the 1.4 million copyright fees from Director Zhang's side, Jin Zhu just made up enough 5 million, and when he returned to the imperial capital, Jin Zhu gave the 5 million to Liu Sheng, and the civil construction of the hometown inn near the Summer Palace was basically completed, and it was the time when there was a shortage of money, and the money in Li Xiang's hand had already collected 20 million and sent it to Kang Xuexi, and the salary for this TV series had not yet been paid.
After finishing this matter, Jin Zhu did not immediately start writing a new novel, first, she wanted to rest for a few days, which was too tiring; The second is the third book, she plans to write Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian's movies and TV series and various legendary scripted novels are too many, Jin Zhu has to think about it carefully, she doesn't want to be similar to others; The third is that the final exam is coming, and the courses in the half semester of the junior year are the tightest, in addition to the compulsory courses, she also has several elective courses to test.
So she plans to wait until the end of the Lunar New Year to start writing, during this time to rest her brain, and at the same time accompany her family, in the words of Taurus, she has not played chess with him for two months.
Who knew that when Jin Zhu decided to take Jin Yang, Jin Niu and Jin Yu to Hainan for a trip to Hainan on New Year's Day, Jin Zhu received an email from Thomson, he had already booked a ticket to the imperial capital for New Year's Day, and this time he came to find two spokespersons for his clothing.
Only then did Jin Zhu know that he had been busy creating his own clothing brand company in the past few years, and now he is finally on the right track, and he now wants to find a few Asian spokespersons to open up the Asian market.
Before coming, he already had several candidates in his mind, one of which was Li Xiang, but he didn't know that Li Xiang was Jinzhu's husband, because he almost didn't know Chinese, so he couldn't understand the gossip news here, not to mention that he didn't even remember what Jinzhu's name was, he would only call Jinzhu zhu.
He was coming, and Jin Zhu was naturally embarrassed to leave, because Thomson said that he had one more thing to look for Jin Zhu this time, and he wanted to ask Jin Zhu to help him design a few embroidery patterns on his dress.
Jin Zhu promised him.
On the night of New Year's Day, Jin Zhu held a banquet to welcome Thomson at the hometown inn on this side of Luogu Lane, and learned that Thomson came with two assistants and a translator this time, because a car could not sit down, Jin Zhu did not go to the hotel to pick him up, but troubled Liu Sheng to drive alone, she took a car and led Jin Niu and Jin Yu to Luogu Lane, because Jin Yang and Tian Fangzhou came to help early in the morning.
After Li wanted to know, he also rushed over with Jin Liu and Gu Panpan, because he had already received a call from Thomson's assistant, who asked him to take a set of fashion photos.
So, when Thomson got out of the car and saw a group of handsome men and women welcoming him at the door, his big blue eyes widened because he couldn't recognize who Jin Zhu was.
Asian faces are quite similar in his eyes, and he has only met Jin Zhu once four or five years ago, when Jin Zhu was just sixteen years old, even if Jin Zhu gave him a feeling of amazement at that time, but after many years, there are not many imprints in his mind.
Besides, it is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, although the facial features of Jin Zhu have not changed much compared with a few years ago, but the temperament is very different, how to say that it is also a person who has been mixed in the big city of the imperial capital for more than two years, and the world he has seen must be incomparable to a small county, and his sense of fashion is much stronger.
"Oh, myGod, are you Li Xiang?" The first person Thomson recognized was Li Xiang.
Because Li Xiang was the person he came to talk to this time, he had seen a lot of Li Xiang's photos and videos before coming, so he knew more about him.
But the problem is that he didn't make an appointment today, today he only plans to talk to Jin Zhu about personal matters, not work.
Thomson was confused by Li Xiang.
“Yes,Nicetomeetyou。” Li Xiang stretched out his right hand to shake hands.
He has never had the opportunity to see Thomson for a long time, don't look at Thomson's youth, but he is very talented in fashion design, and he is also internationally renowned, so he can't wait to come when he receives a call from Jinzhu to invite him to dinner.
Of course, he came for another purpose, because a few years ago he knew that Thomson seemed to have an indescribable liking for Jin Zhu, but Jin Zhu at that time was not yet an adult, and Thomson was not easy to start, but after returning to China, he didn't ask Jin Zhu to go to the United States to study fashion design, so Li Xiang had to show his identity.
"Hello, you're a bead?" After Thomson greeted Li Xiang, his eyes fell on Jin Liu, because Jin Liu's facial features were originally a bit similar to Jin Zhu, but she was more graceful and beautiful than Jin Zhu, and her age was about the same as when Thomson saw Jin Zhu a few years ago, so he took Jin Liu as Jin Zhu very lightly.
"No, she's Zhu, I'm Zhu's sister, sister, youngsister." Seeing that the foreigner stretched out his arm to hug her, Jin Liu hurriedly smiled and took a step back and pointed at Jin Zhu with a gesture.
“Hello,Thomson,welcome。” Jin Zhu smiled and spoke, because she didn't expect the other party to recognize her, and she was afraid that he would stretch out his furry hand to hug him again, and she didn't dare to step forward too much.
"Oh, MyGod, myprettygirl, I miss you very, very much." Thomson still opened his arms to embrace the gold beads.
Jin Zhu stood still, Li Xiang stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder, and held her hand with the other hand, "Sorry, nohug, sheismywife, wife, youknow?" (Excuse me, you can't hug her, she's my wife, wife, do you understand?) )
"Okay, let's go in first, listening to you talk tired and panicked, one in Chinese and one in English." Gu Panpan said with a smile.
She was specially called by Li Xiang, and it was also because she knew that this foreigner was looking for someone to be a fashion endorsement, and if she got into his eyes, she was likely to appear on the covers of those big magazines abroad, and she understood that Li Xiang wanted to pull her, so she came to join in the fun.
Thomson's eyes lit up when he heard her words, in fact, he noticed her as soon as he got out of the car, because Gu Panpan was so beautiful, tall, delicate facial features, and fair face, her beauty was different from Jin Zhu and Jin Liu, she was the kind of particularly flamboyant beauty, absolutely amazing, otherwise Zhang Xiaojie would not have chosen her as the protagonist.
After listening to the translator's words, Thomson spoke a string of English to the translator Joe, and before Li Xiang and Jin Zhu could speak, Joe asked Gu Panpan what he did.
Knowing that Gu Panpan and Li Xiang were now filming a TV series about the ancient court, Thomson nodded and verbally invited Gu Panpan and Li Xiang to go to him together to take a set of photos three days later.
He didn't say anything to death, because he had to decide who to use and who not to use according to the effect of these actors wearing his clothes, although with his years of experience, he felt that the two people in front of him should be quite suitable for the style of clothes he designed, but there was still a problem of not being photogenic, and there was a problem of the edge of the eyes.
"Okay, friends from afar, let's go in, don't freeze outside." Jin Zhu's blocking at the door attracted the attention of several passers-by, worried that it would attract many fans to watch for a while.
"Zhu, are you really married?" Thomson saw that Jin Zhu's hand was still holding Li Xiang's hand, and couldn't help but ask.
A few years ago, he spent $2,000 to buy the design draft of the phoenix painted by Jin Zhu, and after returning to the United States, he found someone to appraise it, and someone paid up to $20,000, and he was not willing to sell it.
This time, he also plans to ask Jin Zhu for two more calligraphy and paintings, because people say that Jin Zhu's calligraphy and painting are very Tang Dynasty relics, and the calligraphy and paintings of the Tang Dynasty rarely survive, so there is a certain collection value and research value.
"Of course, if it's fake." Jin Zhu smiled brightly.
"Oh, myGod, my heart is broken, zhu, you're too friend."
But Thomson's heartbreak didn't last two minutes before he was drawn to the courtyard inn.
Because it was winter, the flowers and trees in the yard had withered, but Tian Yunzhou hung lanterns and red Chinese knots under the eaves of each house, which meant a little New Year's flavor.
In addition, the waiters who work here are all dressed in Miao clothes, and the girls are all bright pink Miao dresses, wrapped in headscarves of the same color, which is very pretty and lively.
Because it was New Year's Day, there were more tourists who came to eat and stay, and when they learned that Li Xiang, Jin Liu and Gu Panpan were coming, these tourists were not afraid of the cold, and they all ran out of the room, pulling Li Xiang to take a group photo, during which there were also a few Jinzhu book lovers who came to Jinzhu with books to find Jinzhu to sign autographs.
When Thomson saw someone holding a book and asking Jin Zhu to sign it, he curiously asked Jin Yang next to him, and Jin Yang told him that Jin Zhu was a writer and a best-selling author, and Thomson asked Jin Zhu what kind of book he had written.
"My eldest sister wrote about Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have you heard of Li Shimin?" Jin Yang asked him in English, she deliberately wanted to exercise her oral expression skills.
Thomson nodded his head, "Yes, yes, he's a great guy. ”
He felt a little excited, just thought that Jin Zhu's calligraphy and painting had the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, why did the book she wrote about Li Shimin?
"Also, my brother-in-law Li Xiang, my sister and Panpan are now filming a TV series adapted from my eldest sister's novel, I have stills." After Jin Yang finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and brought up the stills of Li Xiang, Gu Panpan and Jin Liu.
To Jin Yang's surprise, Thomson recognized at a glance that Li Xiang was playing the emperor, Gu Panpan was playing the queen, and Jin Liu was the princess.
"This is the costume of the Tang Dynasty?" Thomson asked, pointing to the queen's court dress on Gu Panpan's body.
Jin Yang nodded.
"Who designed these costumes?"
Where did Jin Yang know this, he shook his head.
In fact, in order to shoot this TV series well, Jin Zhu really wanted to direct the details of various aspects such as costumes, costumes, headdresses, etiquette, etc., Zhang Xiaojie knew that Jin Zhu was from the Department of History, but she didn't suspect anything, and even communicated with Jin Zhu when she got the costume renderings.
Thomson had yet to ask Jin Yang Jinzhu how she was practicing calligraphy and painting now, and Jin Zhu and Li Xiang had already walked over and beckoned everyone into the private room of the restaurant.
When she was sitting down, Thomson found the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, these calligraphy and paintings were found by Tian Yunzhou when she came to the house last time, she felt that it was better to pile them up in the attic and hang them in the inn, which could not only add a little elegance but also help Li Xiang promote his fame, not better than putting them in the attic and dusting them?
But Thomson doesn't know how to appreciate it, although he can barely distinguish what is a word, what is a watercolor painting, and what is an ink painting, but he can't distinguish the pen style of Chinese characters, let alone understand the seal characters and seals that bend in the song above.
Of course, the focus of her attention is different from Thomson's, her hometown is from Hedong Village, she didn't expect Li Xiang to move the terraced fields of her hometown to the imperial capital, she appreciates the scenery in the painting rather than the quality of the painting.
But when Thomson saw Gu Panpan looking at paintings with him, he thought that Gu Panpan was an understanding person, so he pulled her to ask for advice. (To be continued.) )
