Zuo Jiang looked at the glamorous Bai Xiaoyi and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, we are talking about where to eat, how about it, do you have any good places to recommend?" ”

Bai Xiaoyi said: "I'm not familiar with Beijing, in addition to knowing Beijing's Quanjude roast duck, I know the French Western food of the Great Wall Hotel, I don't know anything else, if you really have no place to eat, I think it's better to go to Quanjude, where I haven't eaten the roast duck once!" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Okay, I haven't eaten Quanjude's roast duck either, Director Liang, let's go to Quanjude to eat roast duck today!" ”

Zuo Jiang wants to eat roast duck Liang Jin of course has no opinion, he has not had much contact with Zuo Jiang, but Zuo Jiang has a special good feeling, without Zuo Jiang's full investment, he and Li Da's movie "Eternal Red Face" will not be able to start filming, and Zuo Jiang does not have many requirements, just the recommended heroine and the dispatch of financial personnel, although Bai Xiaoyi is quite in line with the image of the movie Minchan, and has little confidence in her performance Liang Jin, but with the deepening of the filming, Bai Xiaoyi has gradually become better, and has played Minchan, one of the four beauties of ancient times, alive. Let Liang Jin no longer have any worries, and he is extremely excited to devote himself to filming.

Generally speaking, after investors make a film, they will come to the shooting site twice in three days to point fingers, and often put forward some unreasonable demands, and if they are not satisfied, they will threaten to recover the investment, forcing the producer or director to comply, so that these filmmakers who lack funds have no choice but to watch the unspoken rules. Zuo Jiang is different, he didn't come once after the movie started filming, he didn't even make a phone call, and let the crew shoot it by himself. Seeing that the filming part was about to be completed, Liang Jin really didn't want to invite Zuo Jiang to the scene, so he had to let the crew take a look at what the investors looked like!

Li Da looked at his watch and said, "Zuo Jiang." You sit here with Jin for a while, I'll arrange the crew's affairs, and we'll go first in a while. With that, he went out.

Zuo Jiang looked at Bai Xiaoyi and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, this movie will take several months to shoot. How's it going, you're tired, aren't you? ”

Bai Xiaoyi smiled and said: "Xiao Jiang, I must be very tired, but I am very happy in my heart, I can finally realize my dream, even if I am tired and tired, my heart is sweet!" ”

Liang Jin took over at this time and said: "Bai Xiaoyi, it just so happens that there is no role for you tomorrow, so you won't be able to use it tomorrow, so let's take a rest." Second, you can also accompany Zuo Jiang to visit Beijing. ”

Bai Xiaoyi was very happy when she heard this: "Great, I can finally take a day off!" Tomorrow I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to lie in bed and sleep. Sleep it all day! ”

Although Bai Xiaoyi refused to accompany Zuo Jiang to visit Beijing City, from her words, Zuo Jiang could hear that Bai Xiaoyi was indeed very tired during this time, and besides, Beijing City could not be visited in one day. It would take ten or eight days to go shopping, so he just smiled and didn't make a sound.

At this time, Li Da walked in, and he said to Liang Jin: "Jin, I have arranged everything over there, let's go now, it's not early, it's dinner time in Quanjude." ”

Liang Jin asked, "Li Da, is our pickup truck outside?" ”

Li Da said: "Yes, I told the stevedores to let them take the crew's bus back." ”

When they said this, Zuo Jiang understood what was going on. smiled and said to them: "Director Liang, Li Bian, forget your pickup truck, I came by car, take my car today." ”

When he walked out of the compound, Liang Jin suddenly said, "Zuo Jiang, do you want to find a few actresses to accompany us?" ”

Liang Jin's question was sudden, and Zuo Jiang reacted for a long time, because he still had something to talk about with Liang Jin, so he said, "Forget it." There are outsiders who are inconvenient. ”

Liang Jin did not mention this topic again after hearing this. It is common for investors to come to inspect and find actresses to accompany them for drinking, and even to sleep together. Liang Jin knew that Zuo Jiang was not good at this, and suddenly said this sentence just to get by on the scene, and after finishing speaking, he felt a little abrupt, after all, Zuo Jiang was still a teenager, but he was silent, and he didn't know what kind of relationship Zuo Jiang and Bai Xiaoyi was.

Seeing that Zuo Jiang was driving a brand-new Benchi, Li Da exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow! Rush! I've never sat on it before, and we're going to have it today! ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and said: "Editor Li, don't be so exaggerated, if your "Eternal Red Face" can become an instant hit, I believe that you and Director Liang can have such a rush when you come soon!" ”

Having Ben Chi is now undoubtedly a distant dream for Liang Jin and Li Da, although I don't believe Zuo Jiang's words, but my heart is hot, who doesn't want to have a good life.

On the way back, Zuojiang is a familiar road, plus Liang Jin and Li Da are on the side to point out, and half an hour later, we arrived at the Quanjude head office located at the front door. Liang Jin is very familiar with this place, although the old restaurant copied the ancient pattern of Quanjude a hundred years ago, wooden doors and windows and wooden stairs, antique, but he still chose the Yanjing Eight Views Hall, the design of the Yanjing Eight Views Hall draws on the pattern of the old Beijing courtyard, the heart hall looks like a courtyard, surrounded by a cloister shape, carved corridor painting, unique style, the ceiling is decorated with grape trellises, like a summer courtyard landscape picture. Today they were very lucky, and they were going to the heart hall.

When it came to Quanjude roast duck is necessary, after the four of them sat down, they ordered a roast duck, Liang Jin ordered the special dishes here Huoliao duck heart, brine tofu and sauce duck gizzard, the waiter saw that they only had four people to eat and told them that these were enough to eat, if not enough, they could order again.

Zuo Jiang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, look at how intimate the service is, which restaurant doesn't want customers to order more, order good dishes, order expensive dishes to make more money, and then look at people, I'm afraid that you can't eat and waste and persuade you to eat less, don't look at it I don't know, this is the gap, the century-old store really lives up to its reputation!

After the wine and food came up, everyone chatted while eating, Zuo Jiang asked Liang Jin, "Director Liang, when will this movie be completed?" ”

Liang Jin thought for a while and said: "All the filming work can be completed in the afternoon, and the post-production will take a certain amount of time, so it will not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival release schedule, and it will take March or April to complete it all." ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Director Liang." How do you feel about the future of this film? ”

Liang Jin said: "So far, this movie has made me very satisfied, I am very confident, I dare not say if it is a hit." But a small hit at the box office is certain, you can rest assured, it is not a problem to recover your investment, you can only make money and not lose land! ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Director Liang, I'm relieved to have your words!" ”

Liang Jin said: "Zuo Jiang, this movie is all up to you, you are the life-saving benefactor of me and Li Da, although we can't never come out without you, but we must wait until the day when the young man is white." You can rest assured, I will speed up the progress on the basis of ensuring quality, and strive to achieve it in the second quarter of next year. That is, it will be released in April! ”

Zuo Jiang suddenly asked Liang Jin: "Director Liang, do you know the Cannes Film Festival in France?" ”

Zuo Jiang's words were asked suddenly, and Liang Jin couldn't help but be stunned. How could a person who has been immersed in movies for many years and is very persistent in movies not know about the Cannes Film Festival, but it is a top international film festival, and Liang Jin's impression feels very far away, and there is no precedent for domestic films to participate in the Cannes Film Festival.

Liang Jin said: "Of course I know about the Cannes Film Festival, Zuo Jiang, why are you asking this?" ”

Zuo Jiang looked at Liang Jin and said, "Director Liang, have you ever thought about sending this "Eternal Red Face" to Cannes to participate in the exhibition?" ”

"What?" Liang Jin was very surprised and said, "No." I've never thought about this problem, because our domestic movies are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Westerners at all, and even if they are sent, there will be no good results, so why bother to humiliate yourself! ”

Zuo Jiang shook his finger and said: "Director Liang, I don't agree with your idea, the West looks down on our movies because they don't understand our culture, with the reform and opening up of our country, with the continuous prosperity and strength of our country." The broad and profound nature of our Chinese nation has gradually been understood by the West. The movie "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four classical masterpieces of my country, can be said to be the essence of my country's classicization. And when you were filming this film, you made extensive use of international popular techniques to vividly reflect our localization, if you go to the exhibition, even if you can't win the award, you will promote our Chinese nation to the West, so why not? ”

In his previous life, Zuo Jiang knew that the film "Eternal Red Face" won three nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actress and Best Screenplay when it participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and finally won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, which was the first award won by a domestic film in the world. Zuo Jiang doesn't know how Liang Jin thought of going to the Cannes Film Festival in his previous life, or he doesn't know who encouraged him to go, but now he obviously doesn't have that awareness.

Liang Jin fell into deep contemplation after listening to Zuo Jiang's words, Li Da thought for a while and then said decisively: "Jin, I think Zuo Jiang is right, after the filming of "Eternal Red Face" is finished, we might as well send it to France to participate in the exhibition, in case we win the award, it is our favoritism, if we get nothing, we have nothing to lose, after all, we are all newcomers who make films for the first time, even if we can be shortlisted, it is a recognition of our ability, this is a good thing to make sure you don't lose money!" ”

Seeing that Liang Jin was still thinking, Bai Xiaoyi, who had heard the whole thing on the side, was a little anxious, she rushed to say: "Yes, Director Liang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, you can make up your mind to go, Zuo Jiang's words are very accurate, I feel this deeply, everything he said before was almost according to what he said, anyway, there is no loss, just try your luck!" ”

Liang Jin finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, it's good to try your luck, after I go back, I will consult about participating in the Cannes Film Festival, how long it may take to register in advance, we can make two preparations, after the film is completed, it can be released first, and the exhibition will be exhibited while the film is released, and there will be no delay!" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Director Liang, I think so, since I want to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, don't rush to release this film, so that you can strive for excellence in the post-production, the Cannes Film Festival is held in May every year, and it is not too late to release it after the exhibition." It's been a long wait, it's not bad for more than a month, if, I mean, if this film can win something at the Cannes Film Festival. We will take advantage of the momentum, and it will be difficult not to be popular at that time! ”

Liang Jin thought for a while and said: "Okay, Zuo Jiang, you are right, there is no free lunch in the world, since we want to participate in the exhibition, we have to redouble our efforts, carve carefully in the production, strive for perfection, success is prepared for those who are prepared, this time we will work harder!" ”

After that, the atmosphere at the wine table was peaceful. Everyone drank and talked about participating in the Cannes Film Festival, and finally the banquet broke up.

Zuo Jiang didn't drink much because he was driving, and neither Liang Jin nor Li Da persuaded him to drink. Zuo Jiang didn't want to get drunk when he reunited with Bai Xiaoyi after a long absence, and there were more wonderful things waiting for him later, but Bai Xiaoyi was persuaded by Liang Jin and Li Da to have a few glasses of wine. At this time, the face was covered with an intoxicating flush, which was very gorgeous.

After getting into the car, Zuo Jiang asked, "Director Liang, Li Bian, where do you live?" He deliberately ignored Bai Xiaoyi in his words, he wanted to take Bai Xiaoyi back to the Great Wall Hotel to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Bai Xiaoyi understood what Zuo Jiang was thinking, and rushed to say mischievously: "Director Liang and I both live in the guest house rented by the crew, you just send me to Fuxing Road, Haidian District!" ”

Zuo Jiang said while starting the car: "Sister Xiaoyi, you finally have a day off tomorrow, don't go back to the guest house, the environment there is not good for rest." I booked a luxury suite at the Great Wall Hotel, which is a five-star hotel, and the conditions for eating and living are very good. ”

Bai Xiaoyi originally wanted to tease Zuo Jiang a few more words, but Liang Jin said to her: "Bai Xiaoyi, anyway, tomorrow is a holiday for you, you should go to the Great Wall Hotel with Zuo Jiang, the guest house even has a limit on the time for supplying hot water." Besides, tomorrow, after the crew leaves, it will be a problem for you to eat. The Great Wall Hotel is what you want! ”

Li Da attached and said: "Yes, you haven't lived in the guest house for such a long time!" ”

Liang Jin and Li Da didn't think that there was any love between men and women between Zuo Jiang and Bai Xiaoyi at all. When he was in Songjiang, Zuo Jiang was screaming Sister Xiaoyi one by one, and now it is the same, plus Zuo Jiang's sister Tao Fei, they all regard Zuo Jiang as Bai Xiaoyi's younger brother, although they are not close to the ground, but they are also close, so the two of them say it extremely naturally.

Bai Xiaoyi saw that Liang Jin and Li Da both said this, she couldn't hold on any longer, and snorted and said: "I said this on purpose, just to see if my younger brother cares about me as a sister, I have already lived in the guest house, and I don't go to the guest house if there is a five-star hotel!" ”

Liang Jin and Li Da smiled slightly when they heard this, and then didn't say anything, Zuo Jiang took over and said, "Sister Xiaoyi, you saw it this time, your younger brother still cares about you very much!" ”

Bai Xiaoyi chuckled and said coquettishly: "You are still doing well, my sister didn't hurt you in vain!" ”

Sent Liang Jin and Li Da back to the guest house, Zuo Jiang drove Bai Xiaoyi to the Great Wall Hotel, when he arrived at the Great Wall Hotel, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, he took the elevator upstairs, and when he passed by Yang Guangzhi's room, he didn't hear any movement inside, Zuo Jiang thought that they might have slept, and he didn't knock on the door to go in to have a look, so he and Bai Xiaoyi returned to their small luxury suite.

As soon as he entered the room, Bai Xiaoyi threw himself on the sofa, screaming that he was exhausted, so he lay on the sofa and never got up again. Zuo Jiang drove all afternoon, and after drinking some wine in the evening, he felt a little tired, and called Bai Xiaoyi a few times to see that she couldn't get up, so he turned on the TV and said to her: "Sister Xiaoyi, if you don't want to move, watch TV first, I'll take a shower first, go to the shooting base and get dusty, it's uncomfortable to die!" So saying, he walked to the back room.

As soon as Bai Xiaoyi heard that Zuo Jiang was going to take a bath, her body immediately itched as if she was reacting to the conditions, she was filming for a day now, and there was more dust on her body than Zuo Jiangdi, she felt uncomfortable when she ate roast duck just now, and she was so relaxed that she forgot about it when she entered the room just now.

Bai Xiaoyi immediately jumped up from the sofa and caught up with Zuo Jiang and said, "Xiao Jiang, you wait for a while, let me wash it first, my body is itching to death!" With that, he rushed into the bathroom in the back room. The reason why Zuo Jiang's room is called a small luxury suite is that there is only one suite inside the room in addition to a living room, the suite is divided into two rooms, the one outside is very small, only a single bed is placed, it is the place where the entourage lives, although there is also a small bathroom, but it can only relieve hands and can not take a bath, the big luxury room inside is very hygienic, equipped with luxurious bathing facilities, that is to say, there is only one bathroom in this small luxury suite.

Zuo Jiang was helpless to see that the only bathroom was occupied by Bai Xiaoyi, Bai Xiaoyi said that his body was itching to death, and his body also itched reflexively, once this feeling is generated, it is like a river beast, unstoppable, hearing the sound of running water in the bathroom, Zuo Jiang's feeling is even stronger!

Zuo Jiang saw that there was a small crack in the door of the bathroom, and thought that maybe she forgot to close the door in a hurry when she grabbed the bathroom just now, and suddenly a bold and fragrant idea came to her mind, that is, to go in and take a bath with Bai Xiaoyi, once this idea is generated, it cannot be stopped, this kind of thing makes Zuo Jiang excited.

Zuo Jiang walked to the side of the bed and quickly took off the clothes on his body, leaving only a pair of underwear on his body, and then quietly came to the door of the bathroom, stretched out his head to listen to the movement inside, he heard Bai Xiaoyi singing while taking a shower, which showed that her mood was very relaxed.

Zuo Jiang moved the door slightly, and it was indeed unlocked inside, so he quickly pushed open the door and walked in, and then locked it from the inside. When Bai Xiaoyi heard the sound of the door lock, he found that Zuo Jiang had come in, "Ah! Instinctively, he screamed and covered his vital parts with his hands and exclaimed: "Zuo Jiang, why did you come in, hurry up and get out!" ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and looked at Bai Xiaoyi unmoved, looking at her flustered appearance Zuo Jiang's heart was very excited, after all, Bai Xiaoyi only had two hands, blocking the top and not blocking the bottom, blocking the bottom and revealing the top, her Miaoman's body was completely exposed in front of Zuo Jiang, the subtleties were clear, and Zuo Jiang's blood suddenly swelled.

Bai Xiaoyi's hands were busy for a while before he discovered the problem, and hurriedly pulled a bath towel around his body, and when he saw Zuo Jiang smiling on his face, he was angry, and stepped forward to push Zuo Jiang and said, "Zuo Jiang, you are a little ruthless, hurry up and let me out!" ”

Zuo Jiang held Bai Xiaoyi's two slender hands, and said with a flattering face: "Sister Xiaoyi, my body is itching to death, there is only one bathroom in the room, you just let me wash with you!" ”

Bai Xiaoyi's reaction just now was just an instinctive reaction, after such a mistake, her heart gradually calmed down, after all, Zuo Jiang and her are people who have an intimate relationship, and they are familiar with each other's bodies, but when they think of taking a bath with Zuo Jiang, their hearts are also shy, and their eyes glared and said: "No, you can come in and wash when I finish washing, now, you go out immediately!" ”

Zuo Jiang saw that Bai Xiaoyi didn't open his face at all, stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her fragrant lips. After Bai Xiaoyi struggled a few times, she collapsed into Zuo Jiang's arms as soon as she became weak, and kissed Zuo Jiang back passionately.

Kissing passionately, the bath towel on Bai Xiaoyi's body fell to the ground, Zuo Jiang had no time to take care of it, hugged Bai Xiaoyi while kissing, and moved to the sprinkler, and the drizzle-like heat flow sprayed on their heads and bodies, just like a drizzle sprinkled on the bottom of their hearts, their bodies seemed to pass through a thin electric current, and suddenly the whole body was comfortable!
