After that, Chu Qing had a long phone call with Guan Jinpeng, and chatted for a long time about this movie, talking about opinions and moods, both parties were relatively happy, and they also had a preliminary understanding of each other.

Guan Jinpeng is a very delicate character, his sensitivity and softness, Chu Qing has never experienced in other directors, it is quite special, a bit like a woman's sense of contact.

The producer of "Lan Yu" is called Zhang Yongning, and it took nearly two years from seeing the original novel in early 99 to pulling funds and saving the crew. Even so, the budget is still not very generous, and the director has paid for it out of his own pocket, barely enough to build a group.

The nature of the film is a co-production, but it is impossible for the theme of homosexuality to be approved by the mainland, so the crew can only come to the capital to shoot secretly. Guan Jinpeng didn't hide the situation, told the truth, and then slightly shyly proposed a price, 120,000.

Chu Qing was quite puzzled, 120,000 yuan, the most generous income, what are you embarrassed about.

In fact, if it is an actor in the mainland, it is properly considered a mid-range level. If it is Hong Kong, let's not mention those acting stars who are worth millions of dollars, just the newly emerging starlets, how can there be a salary of more than 100,000 yuan, and the director can't open his mouth at all.

After the price was negotiated, Zhang Yongning came to the door in person and signed an appointment with Chu Qing. The two chatted briefly, and the filmmaker just fell in love with an actor to be another actor, but that person seemed to have scruples and hadn't nodded in agreement yet, and was currently working hard to communicate.

After coming back from Henan, he has been at home for three days in a blink of an eye, and he can't rest, a bunch of trivial things, full of troubles, just finalized the film contract for "Lan Yu", and received a call from Lao Jia.

Ya said that there was a small French film festival at the end of November, and "Platform" was invited to participate in the exhibition, and the chance of winning the award was very high. Lao Jia didn't have time, so he asked him if he could spare time. Go and have a show.

The total of these goods can barely vacate the schedule, so I agreed.

He sorted out the things in front of him, and there were two things that he was very anxious about: one was learning to drive, there were a lot of shots of Handong driving in "Lan Yu", and he couldn't fake the shooting, he had to learn. It's too late to take the test, so I have to find someone to help me practice, and then take the test slowly.

The second thing is that I have to go to Rotterdam this month. Find Ge Wen to set porcelain and plan for the future of "This Summer".

As for the "Nantes Tricontinentals International Film Festival" in France, he didn't care much about it, anyway, it was OK to go and hang around when the time came.

Of course, the most urgent thing is not the above, he has to get the bathtub at home first.

Chu Qing looked at the workers and said that the floor tiles had to be cut open, and even the wall had to be removed, but fortunately there was no need to change the pipes. Although it was a bit of a hassle. But my girlfriend wants to take a bath, so let's pretend.

Master Fan didn't have time, so he went to pick out a big bathtub by himself, round one. Constant temperature, suitable for a variety of postures, enough for two people to toss in it.

……

Night, Huai * soft.

In the film and television base. Today's scene is about to be completed, and the crew begins to pack up their equipment and prepare to leave. Xu Zheng and Fan Xiaoye were removing their makeup and changing clothes. Chu Qing and Xiao Taohong, the two family members, chatted in the car.

After waiting for a while, I saw them coming from a distance, and Fan Xiaoye was still holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Hey, where did the flowers come from?" Chu Qing pushed open the door and asked with his head exposed.

"Sent by fans, it's good-looking, right?"

"It's good-looking, it costs a lot of money, do you thank people?"

"My first day out?"

She gave the goods a blank look, threw him to the co-pilot, and sat in the back seat with Xiao Taohong. watched her boyfriend and Xu Zheng pulling back and forth, and somehow, I felt extremely embarrassed.

It's just a matter of rubbing other people's cars, and it doesn't depend on people to learn to drive, this big night, this wilderness, thanks to Xu Zheng's good temper.

Chu Qing didn't feel anything, in his opinion, the road in this broken place is wide, the traffic flow is small, and the road is clicking, and he can't even catch a mouse, and he is really blind if he doesn't practice driving.

Four people, two pairs, said goodbye to the crew, and drove to flash people.

Xu Zheng was not in a hurry to teach, and after driving for about ten minutes, he slowly stopped on the side of the road and said, "I'll turn off the fire first, and then tell you from the beginning." ”

"Okay!" The cargo road next to it.

"Remember, the first step, plug in the key and start the engine."

He belonged to the kind of person who was very strict about everything, and with a straight face, he twisted the key. Immediately, I heard the "boom" of the car, but suddenly waved his hand and said: "I forgot to say, I am an automatic transmission, and the manual transmission steps are different." ”

"It's okay, I'll learn first, you continue."

"After starting, put the brake on your right foot and let go of the handbrake."

He demonstrates, explaining, "Then shift gears and go from P to D." Remember, P is hung when parking, D is forward, N is neutral, R is reverse, and S is changed to manual transmission. ”

"Hey, wait, wait, I understand, what is the neutral for?" Chu Qing asked hurriedly.

"It's just that you wait for a red light, pee or something, stop for a short time, and change gear."

"There are long and short pees, how long is peeing a short time?"

"How much urine ......" Xu Zheng still thought about answering, but suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Big brother, you find fault, right!" ”

"No, I really don't understand." Chu Qing waved his hand.

"Anyway, if you want to hang up, if you don't want to hang up, you can step on the brakes, you have to feel that you have a lot of oil, and you can just step on it and play if you have nothing to do."

Xu Zheng complained very coldly, blinked his eyes, and asked again: "Hey, where did I just say?" ”

"Hang in D gear."

"Oh yes...... In D gear, you slowly release the brakes and the car moves forward. Then you step on the gas pedal again and start accelerating......"

The two men put aside a serious comic in front of them, and the two girls Fan Xiaoye and Xiao Taohong hugged in the back seat, and fell down with a smile.

Xu is old man has a natural hidden attribute for the car, Xu Zheng taught it again, Chu Qing felt that he understood, and he was anxious to try it, so he changed seats with him.

This is the wilderness, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the air is pleasant, there are bursts of insects from time to time, and a Fu*te car is slowly rattling on the road.

Learning to drive, it's always addictive at the beginning, and I want to climb up and step on two feet when I see four wheels. Chu Qing felt that he was not bad, and walked forward smoothly and steadily, like a decent one, similar to the first time he played bumper cars when he was a child.

He was leisurely and leisurely, and he walked around for more than 20 minutes, and seeing that it was at high speed, Xu Zheng couldn't stand it, and said, "Okay, you give it to me, give it to me." ”

"I'll have another meeting."

"Come on, at your speed, we won't be able to get home at dawn, so stop and stop."

Chu Qing pouted, hit the steering wheel with his hand, stopped awkwardly on the side of the road, and then shifted to P gear, pulled the handbrake, and turned off the engine.

"Yo, okay, draw inferences." Xu Zheng was slightly surprised.

The two of them switched back to their original seats, got into the highway, and the car gradually accelerated. The night breeze was cool, and the car was neither dry nor cold, and the two women in the back had not moved, each tilting their heads and squinting.

"Have you been in the show lately?" The men had a chat with each other.

"Just picked one up."

"Who's the director?"

"Guan Jinpeng."

Xu Zheng paused for a moment and said in surprise: "The one in Hong Kong? ”

"Yes, that's him."

"Okay, boy, are you going to Hong Kong to develop?"

"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet!"

Chu Qing leaned his arm against the car window and asked, "How are you, do you have any plans?" ”

"I don't have any plans, I want to take a break after filming this, and go back to Shanghai next year to arrange "Shang Ying"."

"Shang Ying?"

"Well, drama."

"Oh, that's good." Chu Qing nodded, although he didn't like that unrestrained style, he had inexplicable respect for actors who could calm down and act in dramas.

As he spoke, the car drove into the city. It would be too late, there was no subway, he woke up Fan Xiaoye, found a random place to get off, and took a taxi home.

As soon as the girl entered the door, she ran to the bathroom to see the newly installed large bathtub, the bright white porcelain, the smooth and smooth feel, quite satisfied.

"How do you use it?" She asked.

"You're going to take a bath?"

"Why don't you soak it when you buy it!" She tinkered with the keys and said, "Which one is the temperature?" ”

"I'll fix me, you take off your clothes first." Chu Qing, wearing a vest and boxers, walked in from the bedroom.

"As soon as you get home, you will be undressed, and you will be more and more rogue and rogues." Fan Xiaoye leaned at him, took off his shirt, and revealed a bra with pale pink flowers.

“……”

Ya was wronged, too lazy to take care of her, set the temperature, and then release the water with a bang, although it is not as smart as the shopping guide said, but it is okay.

"Hey!"

Her voice rose again, and she commanded, "You take that flower and sprinkle it in the bathtub in a moment." ”

"It's so easy for people to buy it, so you can use it for bathing?" Chu Qing spat toothpaste foam in his mouth and said vaguely.

"Oh, it's also shelving, Ming'er is wilting, I've wanted to try it for a long time."

(And ...... (To be continued......)
