"Mr. Lin, if you don't sign the contract, do you really feel at ease to hand over the two million to my senior brother to make a movie?" On the way back, Cheng Long couldn't help but ask Lin Xi this question.

"Could it be that in your eyes, Hong Jinbao is not even worth two million?"

Lin Xi sat in the back seat with his hands folded, his thoughts obviously not completely focused on answering Cheng Long's question.

Cheng Long glanced at Lin Xi's expression from the rearview mirror, and then said, "Of course I didn't mean that, but I just said that it was a little riskier to do this?" ”

"Is there anything in the world that you want to do without taking a risk? Besides, I did this on the one hand because of my trust in Hong Jinbao, and on the other hand, it was also to dispel the suspicions of the Shaw Brothers side and minimize the obstacles that the film might encounter when it was released. ”

In addition to these two reasons, there is a more important reason, the second of these three plays needs an actress, and the actress Lin Xi's favorite candidate is now a signed artist of Shaw Brothers.

Of course, Lin Xi would not tell Cheng Long this.

"You don't have to envy Hong Jinbao, when you become famous in the future and have a certain foundation, I can also support you to set up your own company, and then you will have the opportunity to ...... with your senior brother Work together. ”

Lin Xi originally wanted to say "one to compete", but considering that these words might make Cheng Long realize his purpose of using Hong Jinbao to balance him in advance, he changed his words again.

Cheng Long didn't think much about it, but he just felt that it would be good to set up his own company and cooperate with Hong Jinbao in the future. But it would be better if his company could surpass Hong Jinbao.

Of course, he won't say that.

At this time, Lin Xi suddenly asked the driver to pull over.

Cheng Long looked back at Lin Xi from the passenger seat with some puzzlement, there was still some distance from where Lin Xi lived, why did he have to get out of the car?

Lin Xi saw Cheng Long's doubts, and then explained: "There is a bookstore here. It's still early to go home, I'm going to go shopping, do you want to go together? ”

As soon as he heard about visiting the bookstore, Cheng Long suddenly shook his head. He had a big head when he saw books since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been sent to follow Yu Zhanyuan to learn martial arts.

Seeing Lin Xi get out of the car and enter the bookstore on the side of the road, Cheng Long asked the driver to drive.

Lin Xi is a regular customer of this bookstore. And because he also writes books himself, everyone in the bookstore, from the manager to the ordinary staff, knows him, and as soon as he enters the door, the staff recognizes him and comes to greet him warmly.

Lin Xicai chatted casually with this staff member and asked about the recent sales of the three books "Peerless Double Pride", "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Chu Liuxiang". The manager of the bookstore hurried over, replaced the staff member, and led Lin Xi to the rows of bookshelves to introduce him to the new books that had come to the bookstore recently.

Originally, there was a guide from someone who was familiar with the situation, which could indeed save a lot of time in looking for books, but Lin Xi came today to kill time, so the bookstore manager's approach was a bit redundant.

"Manager Tang. You should be very busy managing such a big bookstore, right? Today, I didn't come to look for any books, I just walked around, so you don't have to waste time with me. It's important to get down to business! ”

As soon as Lin Xi said this, Manager Tang had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Lin Xi wandered aimlessly in front of the bookshelf, and accidentally skimmed the second floor of the bookshelf, and saw a copy of Huang Zhan's "Unwritten Collection", this collection of salty and wet jokes written by Huang Zhan in the 70s has been reprinted many times and has always been a bestseller in the bookstore.

In Lin Xi's impression. There is no such book in the collection at home, with the character of Lin Shu. In fact, it is unlikely that I will collect such a book, and I suddenly have the idea of buying this book back and reading it.

It just so happened that the book on the other side of the bookshelf was also taken. Lin Xi pulled out this book, and saw the situation on the bookshelf directly from the gap between the two books.

A woman in her twenties, wearing a pair of slightly old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, was biting her fingers to read a book, as if she was hesitating to buy it.

Half of the hanging hair covers half of the face, but it can't stop the style that escapes from the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, although you can't see the whole picture, but it must be a beauty.

Lin Xi was slightly stunned, not because the other party was beautiful, but because this face seemed to be seen somewhere.

Just when he was stunned for a moment, the woman opposite seemed to notice that there was a gaze on him, raised her head suspiciously, and was about to look around, when she suddenly found that there was a person looking at her through the gap in the bookshelf, and she was suddenly startled.

The moment their eyes staggered, Lin Xi finally saw the other party's appearance clearly, and thought to himself, what a coincidence, why is it?

The woman on the other side of the bookshelf was a little annoyed, she was fascinated by reading books, but she didn't want to have a guy on the other side who didn't know what intentions he had, and he was actually peeping at himself there, which was really perverted.

Thinking of this, the woman angrily stuffed the book in her hand onto the shelf, turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was leaving, Lin Xi hurriedly chased after her, and finally stopped her at the end of the bookshelf.

"I warn you, don't come here, or I'll call someone!"

The woman stepped back, her face pressed against the bookshelf, and looked at Lin Xi who was blocking her way with a wary expression.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person you think......" Lin Xi was anxious to raise his hand to explain, but inadvertently showed the woman the cover of the "No Anthology" in his hand.

The woman glared at Lin Xi viciously, and whispered: "Look at this kind of book, and say that you are not a hooligan!" ”

Lin Xi thought that he was really miserable by Huang Zhan this time, and was about to clear up the relationship, when a staff member over there saw that the situation was not right.

"Mr. Lin, did you have any misunderstanding with this lady?"

Before Lin Xi could speak, the woman on the other side rushed to say, "What is the misunderstanding!" He just spied on me over there, and now he's chasing me again, so call the police and arrest him! ”

The bookstore staff had a dull expression on their faces. looked at Lin Xi, and then at the woman, not knowing which side to believe.

Lin Xi was also stunned for a moment before reacting, and then defended himself: "This is a misunderstanding, you go and get busy." Let me explain to this lady. ”

The bookstore staff nodded and left, and the woman opposite realized that Lin Xi and the people in this bookstore knew each other.

"What do you want to do?"

She subconsciously clasped her hands in front of her, and Lin Xi noticed that she was also holding a book in her hand this time, and this book was still a little familiar.

If you are not mistaken, because "Chu Liuxiang" was officially published not long ago.

Lin Xi spread his hands. Signal that you don't have any idea of danger.

"Miss Zhong, I think this is really a misunderstanding, when I was just holding this book, I happened to see you opposite, and then you happened to look up and see me. That's why you think I'm peeping, but it's just a peeking at best! ”

"You know me?" The woman's amorous eyes showed a puzzled look, but she did not relax her guard against Lin Xi because of this.

Lin Xi hadn't been stared at with such a gaze for a long time, and he was somewhat uncomfortable.

"You just finished acting "The Story of Hu Yue", right? I know director Xu Anhua, and I also know Fa Ge, and they are all good friends. ”

When this list of names was spoken, the expression on the woman's face really changed.

Lin Xi then said: "Actually, you also know me, but you haven't realized it yet. ”

"I know you?" The puzzled look in the woman's eyes grew thicker and thicker. She went through all the people she knew in her mind, but she couldn't remember who could match Lin Xi in front of her.

Lin Xi looked at the book in the woman's hand, "You were just reading the book, right?" Need me to sign for you? ”

"What is the name ......," the woman said. Suddenly, he covered his mouth with his hand and looked at Lin Xi with an expression of disbelief: "You mean, you wrote this book?" You are Lin Xi! ”

Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders, "Otherwise, why do you think the people in the bookstore would know me?" You should believe I'm not a voyeur now, right? Miss Chung Chuhong? ”

found out that he had made a mistake, and Zhong Chuhong immediately looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry ......"

Lin Xi smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, if it weren't for this misunderstanding." How did I know that Miss Zhong actually read my novels, and I would have one more capital to brag about when I saw others in the future. ”

Zhong Chuhong knew that Lin Xi said such things completely to help herself reduce embarrassment. I was so moved in my heart that even the eyes that looked at Lin Xi became different.

Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Xi with a smile. joked: "Actually, I didn't expect that the famous Lin Dacai would go to the bookstore to buy a book like "No Anthology"! ”

"I already knew the author of this book, although this person is not very serious, but he is also a genius, I don't have anything strange to read his book, right? Besides, if I didn't have this book, I wouldn't have met Miss Zhong, and if I hadn't met Miss Zhong, I wouldn't know who to play the heroine of a movie! ”

Zhong Chuhong thought that Lin Xi was joking at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly realized that the situation was wrong.

"Mr. Lin wants me to make a movie?"

"Miss Zhong, don't tell me, you don't have a schedule lately." Lin Xi deliberately made a very distressed look, as if he was really worried about this happening.

"How can I be as popular as you say I am?" Zhong Chuhong said faintly, "I'm just curious, isn't Mr. Lin cooperating with Xu Guanwen to make a movie?" So soon there are new film plans? ”

"To be precise, a movie made by my friend, I just helped a little, if Miss Zhong is interested, we can find a place to sit down and talk slowly!"

Lin Xi took the initiative to invite, Zhong Chuhong couldn't refuse, but he made a request.

"Before I go again, shouldn't Lin Dacai help me sign the name of this book first?"
