Chapter 35: "Chance Encounter"
It seemed that Muyu had never been stared at with such enthusiastic eyes, as if a crack finally appeared on his face with a mask.
After a while, the girl slowly raised her head, her eyes switching back and forth between the two people on the stage.
"Long Yinghou is a very good actress, her performance in every audition is impeccable, and it can be said that she drew the most difficult topic in her improvisation, but she also did it well." Muyu opened his mouth, with a cold face, but with a soft and glutinous voice like a child.
Muyu's unexpected compliment made Long Xue's face a little more proud, and a pair of eyes secretly glanced at Tong Lu, sneering in his heart.
"But ......" But who knows, the wooden fish suddenly opened his mouth again.
"But her imitation marks are too heavy, and the imitation is very clumsy." Raising his head, his big black eyes stared at Long Xue without blinking, and he spoke mercilessly.
"She has a lot of small emotions, and her movements are very in place, but I only see Mu Ran in my eyes."
"She doesn't imitate Zhang Qian at all, but more like Tong Lu."
"I didn't!" Long Xue's breathing was a little shorter, and there was a bit of malice in her eyes.
"I don't care if you have it or not, but that's what I can see." The wooden fish is not afraid of the anger of the dragon shadow queen at all,
"So, in contrast, like Director Zhang, I prefer Tong Lu's performance, although the performance is less than one-tenth of that of Goddess Zhang, but she has emotions, and I believe she will play Moyan well." Tong Lu raised his head and met the eyes of the wooden fish.
She winked at Tong Lu, and this sudden playfulness startled Tong Lu. returned a grateful smile, and the big stone in Tong Lu's heart was finally put down, although there were many difficulties in the process, but the result was a good one.
After announcing the results, Tong Lu directly signed the contract and took the script from Zhang Ze.
"You didn't disappoint me." Zhang Ze sat on the chair and shook Tong Lu's hand casually, with a bit of satisfaction in his tone, Tong Lu pursed his lips and chuckled, as if he saw himself who was emotionally broken at the door of the hotel again, and the starlight in his eyes seemed to overflow.
"Thank you, Director Zhang, for not bothering me."
"But it was also the first time in so many years that I was pointed at my nose and reprimanded." Zhang Ze was naturally impressed by that experience, how could he forget it.
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhang Ze was called away by the assistant. Tong Lu stood in place, waiting for Zhang Ze's back to disappear around the corner before slowly turning around and handing the script in his hand to Lin Zhen.
"Help me get it, don't make a mistake." Lin Zhen nodded hurriedly, carefully put it in her bag, and hugged it tightly in her arms.
By the time the group of three people came out of the company, it was already close to evening. The weather, which had been gloomy, finally brewed a light rain, and the fine and dense raindrops fell to the ground, bringing a burst of moist and fresh air.
Standing at the door, watching the people with umbrellas hurrying down the street, the corners of Tong Lu's mouth hooked up a smile.
Everyone is busy with their dreams, and her new life is finally about to begin.
"From today onwards, we are going to conquer the entertainment industry." Tong Lu's voice was so soft that even Xiao Hong, who was standing on the side, couldn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" Xiao Hong, who was rummaging an umbrella in her bag, turned around and asked suspiciously. Tong Lu shook her head and stretched out her hand to catch a few drops of rain,
"Nothing."
"Didn't we bring an umbrella?" Seeing Xiao Hong rummaging through all the bags and finally taking out nothing, Tong Lu pursed her lips and maintained a smile that was about to collapse.
Xiao Hong gave up and closed the zipper of the bag, and looked at the increasingly heavy rain outside.
"I left my umbrella in the car, and now I can only wait for the car to come and pick us up." Before the words fell, the bell rang in Xiao Hong's hand.
The original sad song, in the sound of the rain, showed a bit of lightness.
Tong Lu crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at the intersection blocked into a parking lot in front of her, and the mood that had just received the good news gradually began to collapse.
When is that...... Pinching the throbbing eyebrows, Tong Lu sighed lightly, and could only pin her hopes on the phone in Xiao Hong's hand.
Between Xiao Hong's grip on the phone, the strength became tighter and tighter, the blood vessels on the back of his hand faintly appeared, and the calm voice returned to a few times, and then hung up conveniently.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Xiao Hong's expression, Tong Lu suddenly had some bad premonitions.
"Xiao Li said that the car broke down halfway and couldn't be repaired for a while." Xiao Hong held his forehead with one hand, and the expression on his face was not much more relaxed than Tong Lu.
"Don't you have an umbrella?" Just when the three of them didn't know what to do, a voice came from behind them, cold but magnetic, sounding like a life-saving straw.
Tong Lu's eyebrows jumped, and when she turned around to see a familiar face, she was a little surprised at the moment, and she opened her mouth without saying anything.
"Don't you know?" Gu Chuan put his hands in his pockets and listened in front of Tong Lu, although he couldn't see any emotion on his face, there was a little smile in his tone.
"Why are you here?" Tong Lu didn't know why, a little at a loss. Reaching out to brush the hair on his shoulder, he forgot that he had already tied it up, and his white fingertips only touched the soft neck.
The thin lips hooked a shallow arc, Gu Chuan glanced behind him casually, and said as if unintentionally,
"I invested in Director Zhang's movie, and I came to see it today."
"Why didn't I see you at the audition?" Tong Lu blurted out.
"I'm not a judge," Gu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, as if it was just a random investment,
"I am only responsible for paying the money, and I will not interfere with Director Zhang's selection." Nodding clearly, a thought flashed in Tong Lu's mind, but she didn't catch it, so she didn't care too much.
"Those pairs are the same as Nian......"
"I'll pick it up later." After this series of questions and answers, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while, it was Gu Chuan who broke the silence and returned to the original question,
"Why did you go back without an umbrella?"
"I don't know," mentioning this question, Tong Lu suddenly deflated, and glanced at Xiao Hong, who was weak-hearted next to him,
"Let's wait for the rain to light down before leaving."
"Then I'll send you to the company." Gu Chuan raised the car key in his hand,
"Fangzheng, I don't have anything to do next, if you don't go back to the company, you can just go with me to pick up Shuangshuang and Niantong." After listening to the first half of the sentence, Tong Lu originally wanted to refuse, but the second half of the sentence really made her feel a little moved.
Tong Shuangshuang has been going to kindergarten for several days, but she has not picked it up once. It's like missing something, and my heart is empty and always uncomfortable.
"Okay." Without letting herself be entangled for too long, Tong Lu glanced at the rain curtain outside, and then replied. Tong Lu Shi Ran got into the car, but he didn't expect that the scene just now was all taken into the eyes of Long Xue, who was hiding in the dark.
The clear eyes were surrounded by a thick fire of jealousy at the moment, with a cold jealousy...... found his own chauffeur, Tong Lu did not forget Xiao Hong and Lin Zhen.
After letting Gu Chuan take a detour to send the two of them back, he drove in the direction of the kindergarten. Tong Lu sat in the co-pilot, quietly glanced at the serious Gu Chuan, and the thoughts that flashed before suddenly came out again,
"Director Zhang sent me an email, did you help?" As soon as he heard this, Gu Chuan hurriedly turned his head to take a look, and looked at Tong Lu's cold eyes, and couldn't see what she meant for a while.
hesitated for a long time before he considered speaking,
"I'm also afraid that Zhang Ze will miss a good actor." After saying this, for fear that Tong Lu would misunderstand, he followed and explained,
"But I definitely didn't participate in today's audition, and I can't influence his decision."
"I know." Tong Lu tilted his head, his gaze did not shift in the slightest, staring at Gu Chuan burningly,
"Thank you."
"Thank yourself, you worked really hard." The corners of Gu Chuan's mouth raised, and after a while, he pressed it down again, but the smile still lingered between his eyebrows.
Tong Lu has such magical power, she can find the slightest awkwardness from the perfect expression that Gu Chuan concealed.
Squinting her eyes, Tong Lu turned her gaze,
"Are you familiar with Director Zhang?" Listening to Gu Chuan's address to Zhang Ze, Tong Lu felt that the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary.
Gu Chuan pondered for a while before he opened his mouth and replied,
"It's okay."
"My classmates in high school later went abroad to hide because they were forced to marry by their families, and they didn't return to China until three years ago." To put it mildly, Zhang Ze's brilliant life in the first 20 years has been summed up.
At first glance, Tong Lu even felt that Zhang Ze was a little pitiful. But after thinking about it, how qualified does she have to sympathize with a big man who can make hundreds of millions of dollars with a single movie.
Looking out slightly, Tong Lu began to sympathize with herself...... Today, the sun has not shown its face all day, and the clouds in the sky at this moment are even more tightly covering the afterglow.
At six o'clock, the sky began to get dark. The kindergarten sign had already turned on the lights, and under the eaves two children who looked very similar were holding the railing and looking out, followed by a teacher who was helping to hold a small umbrella.
Seeing Gu Chuan's car stop, Tong Shuangshuang immediately became excited, and regardless of the teacher behind him, he pulled Nian Tong and ran out.
Tong Lu was afraid that the child would catch a cold in the rain, so she hurriedly stuffed the person into the car.
"It's raining so hard, do you run out without an umbrella?" Tong Lu had a gloomy face and reprimanded Tong Shuangshuang. Tong Shuangshuang also knew that he was at fault, so he shrank in the small corner and said nothing.
Gu Chuan was distressed, but he was unwilling to stop Tong Lu at this juncture, otherwise the next person to be cut in the eye would definitely be him.
"Shuangshuang will definitely not dare in the future, it's because I didn't take a good look at my sister." Gu Niantong quietly moved from the side and blocked in front of Shuangshuang, and the small hand hidden behind the back hooked another pair.
In such a situation, Tong Lu couldn't train even if he was hard-hearted, so he glared at the innocent Gu Chuan next to him before turning his head.
The two children in the back seat didn't hold grudges, and they played together in a blink of an eye, as if they weren't the ones who made their mother angry just now.
Looking at the two innocent smiling faces, Tong Lu's heart was full of anger.
"Will you go to Director Zhang's dinner tomorrow night?" I don't know why, Tong Lu suddenly remembered the invitation in her bag, and her heart rose with anticipation for no reason.
"Go."
