Chapter 8: For Love
On the last weekend of September, the sky is blue, the wind is light, and the sun is faintly sprinkled, reflecting in the beautiful coastal river, the golden fallen leaves are flying in the air, like beautiful dead leaf butterflies, the beautiful scenery is like an ink painting, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass, fresh and natural.
"I'm back!" Mu Qingyao changed her shoes at the entrance and shouted loudly into the hall.
"You're back? Mom and Dad are not at home and should be back after a while. Mu Jinfan sat on the sofa in the hall eating fruit, watching TV, and hurriedly greeted Mu Qingyao when he saw him coming back.
"It's quite rare, Master Mu actually went home so early today, and didn't go to the bar or KTV Langlang?" Mu Qingyao was stunned when she saw Mu Jinfan at home, and then joked with him.
"Miss Mu goes home today, and the little one must be welcomed." Mu Jinfan picked it up slipperily.
"Well, it's pretty much the same, come upstairs with me, I'll ask you something." Mu Qingyao no longer played sloppy with him, and said with a straight face.
Mu Jinfan followed behind Mu Qingyao, and the two walked upstairs.
"Aunt Lan, you make a cappuccino and a cup of white coffee, without milk or sugar, and send them to my room." Mu Qingyao shouted to the hall from the stairs.
"Miss, I just made some cold glutinous rice balls, do you want them?" Aunt Lan poked her head out of the dining room and asked.
"Send it over." Mu Qingyao likes to eat sweets, especially for cold glutinous rice balls, anyway, she doesn't grow meat, so what's the harm in eating more?
Mu Jinfan followed Mu Qingyao into her room, and Aunt Lan quickly delivered the things Mu Qingyao asked for to her room.
Mu Qingyao ate a few pieces of glutinous rice balls unhurriedly, picked up the coffee cup again, and gently stirred the light brown cappuccino with the coffee spoon, she didn't speak, just looked at Mu Jinfan directly.
"Ji Ji (as I said before, this is Mu Qingyao's nickname), don't be like this, I feel worried." Mu Jinfan also picked up the cup of white coffee, stirred it lightly with a coffee spoon, and took a sip elegantly.
Mu Qingyao took a sip of cappuccino, put down the coffee cup, and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point, I told you that there are two things to implement." ”
"You say." Mu Jinfan is also unambiguous.
"First, you and Jing Moting, what's going on? I want to hear the truth. ”
"You know everything? Then I won't hide it from you. At the beginning of the summer vacation, I took a few of my brothers to the XF bar in the west of the city, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw the commotion in the bar, and I asked what was wrong.
The people who watched the excitement said: 'Just now a man drank too much and touched the thigh of the little girl, the girl was not happy, and after saying a few words, the two sides had a conflict, and the drunkard wanted the girl to sleep with him, and the little girl was also hard, this is not ......'
I squeezed into the crowd with the mentality of watching the excitement, and then I saw Tingting standing in the crowd, a drunk person holding a beer bottle to beat her, after all, I have known each other since childhood, and I treat it like a sister, how can I let others bully her? I rushed to her, took her into my arms, grabbed the drunken by the wrist, and pushed him to the ground.
'Where did the little rabbit cub come from, dare to spoil grandpa's good deeds! The drunkard swore and stood up.
'Huh! What are you, the woman who dares to touch me? I replied without showing any weakness.
'Your woman? Lao Tzu has taken a fancy to it, then she is Lao Tzu! The drunkard said arrogantly.
"Yes, whatever you want, give me three days to get out of Jiangdu, otherwise your dog's life will be in danger." ’
'Who are you?' You say I'll get out of here? ’
'I'm the CEO of Jiuzhou Entertainment, is this enough for you to get out of Jiangdu?' ’
The drunkard's drunkenness suddenly disappeared a lot, "President Mu, spare me, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, and I actually molested President Mu's woman......
Tingting also lay in my arms with some fear, and said softly: "Brother Fan, thank you, let's go quickly." I saw how she looked, and I was frightened just now, so I took her and left.
Later, she kept following me, saying that she wanted to repay the favor, but I couldn't help her, so I could only go with her. Mu Jinfan looked out the window and said with some reminiscence.
"Then have you thought that our family would agree? With the complicated situation in front of the Jing family, and Tingting has now become a joke after dinner in high society, her parents will not agree to her marrying in at all. Well, indeed, Mom and Dad are not so unreasonable.
But the stepdaughter of the Jing family, Jing Huiyan, she has loved you since she was a child, it was she and her mother who forced Tingting to the point where she is today, and they will definitely try their best to prevent Tingting from being with you.
Uncle Jing is now obedient to the mother and daughter, Jing Huiyan likes you, in this circle, everyone already knows that if she wants to marry into the Mu family, Uncle Jing will definitely agree, and will try his best to help his stepdaughter. Even if this is what his own daughter wants.
So, brother, so far, Tingting has a big heart, she hasn't thought it through, and she doesn't want to care about it, but if you really have her in your heart, you must think about everything for her, you must try your best to deal with the Jing family, and at the same time force your parents to compromise. Mu Qingyao analyzed his righteous words.
"But what are we supposed to do?" Although Mu Jinfan is highly educated, he can only be helpless when he encounters such a love scene and a double kill in a shopping mall.
"Brother, do you believe me?" "Faith."
"Then we are like this, the Jing family is mainly developing the entertainment economy, and your company happens to be of the same nature, so you have to sanction him everywhere in the shopping mall, and in the end, our purpose is, no matter what, even if the Jing family's mother and daughter are hindered a thousand times, we must make Uncle Jing compromise."
"But, Hoop, you speak lightly. After all, we Jiuzhou is just a small business that has just been established for less than a year, due to the help of the four major families, our company's resources are relatively good, and I am not in the United States for nothing, and I have my own set of plans for corporate governance, we will have a broad development scenario in the industry, and quickly squeeze into the ranks of the top 100 enterprises.
However, the Jing family, as the third family of the four major families, even if Dad can surpass him, it took nearly twenty years, I don't have time to spend with him, and our youth is limited. Mu Jinfan frowned, and said to Mu Qingyao with great disapproval.
Mu Qingyao was not in a hurry, she slowly picked up a piece of glutinous rice balls from the coffee table and held it in her mouth, until the cold touch on the tip of her tongue disappeared, and then she spoke: "Brother, don't worry, Yao'er dares to say it, there must be a way and a certainty." ”
"This brings me to the second thing I want to say to my brother, I heard Tingting say, does my brother plan to make my "If the World" into a micro-movie?" Mu Qingyao got up, slowly walked to the desk and turned on the computer, a pair of slender, white little hands gently held the mouse, and clicked on the computer at random.
"I remember when you lived in a bamboo house with your grandparents when you were a child, your grandfather gave you a nickname, Li Zhen, right?" Mu Jinfan asked without answering.
Mu Qingyao's face warmed and said, "That's right! Zheng Zhen, Li Zhen, according to the elegant name of my nickname, I have been showing off with you when I was a child! I love the name! ”
"Yes, during the summer vacation, my mother asked me to come into your room to get something, it happened that you were not there, and the computer was not turned off, and your novel "If the World" was presented on the screen, and I accidentally found that you even used your own name in it, and as soon as the interest came, I wrote down the name, and searched on the official website, and sure enough, you have published and finished, after reading a few chapters, I found that the plot is ups and downs, and it is very logical, and I read the full text in a brain, and after thinking about it for many days, I decided to make it into a micro-film, As the debut of our Thousand Deaths Film and Television Media (Jiuzhou as the headquarters only plays a management role, and its businesses are numerous). ”
"Well, my brother has good eyesight, yes, I did spend a lot of effort on this article, so if you want to make it into a movie, I don't think the box office should be bad. However, micro-movies are exempt, let's make a good film seriously.
Moreover, I remember that Jing's is preparing a costume blockbuster "Fengyi World", if you have time to prepare, then I think it is not impossible to fight with them. The script is here, after Tingting inadvertently revealed it to me that day, I changed the novel overnight and made it look like a script, you can see for yourself. Mu Qingyao turned the computer and put it in the direction of Mu Jinfan accurately.
Mu Jinfan got up, his bony fingers gently grasped the small mouse, flipped through the contents of the document, and his frowning brows gradually eased.
"Well, you're writing well, so to speak. However, don't forget, in the film "Fengyi World", they Jing invited the best director and the most popular actor, we don't have to worry about the director, I can go to the United States and ask Ellison to host, after all, he is also a Chinese director. But the actors are different, and it would be very strange to let foreign artists play this kind of elegant film in the style of the Republic of China.
As for domestic artists, few people have signed up with our company at present, and artists who have become popular will inevitably look down on us as an entertainment company that does not even have fame. And artists below the third tier are not famous enough, their acting skills are not good, and they will even have a lot of black material, so that even if "Mu Ruo Falls into the World" is a good film, it will be ruined. Mu Jinfan's brows that had just stretched tightly furrowed again.
Mu Qingyao's eyebrows were also frowned, and then she soothed, smiled, and said, "Brother, I have a way, you listen, and you will express your opinion after I finish speaking." My solution can not only make this film a hit, but also save you a performance fee. That is, I, Mu Qingyao, personally played the role of the heroine, played by the author's true colors.
There are three reasons, one is that I am the first lady of the four major families, and I use my own work as my debut in the entertainment industry, which is enough hype in itself, and when the time comes, a small number of people who really believe in this film and some black fans will watch it, as long as our acting skills are online, one will pass ten, ten will pass hundred, and the box office will definitely not be rubbish. Brother, do you remember how many readers I had in this novel? So, at this point, we have an advantage. ”
As she spoke, a meaningful smile tugged at the girl's lips.
"Second, as the author, I know the character's character design best, and I am the best at grasping which part should be what emotions should be, so I am more suitable for this film than anyone else. Third, what does my brother think of my sister's face? Mu Qingyao pursed her lips slightly, and looked at Mu Jinfan with a smile.
Mu Jinfan was slightly stunned, naturally picked up the conversation, and quipped: "Qi Zhen's face is naturally the best in the world, if you say that your sister is not satisfactory, then there is no beauty in the world." ”
"Is this true? In this way, I play the role of the heroine Feng Liji, and my appearance is online, so I am worthy of the role of Feng Liji, how many spectators will this face attract? . Mu Qingyao said slowly.
"It's a really good idea, but have you thought about other issues, such as the male lead, the supporting actors, and whether your parents approve of you getting involved in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry."
"Supporting roles? Feng Lizhen's White Lotus sister can let Huiming Entertainment's third-tier artist, Zou Qiwen, come to audition, I think she has this feeling, and she can interpret that innocence and viciousness to the fullest. The vicious scumbag boy, I also have a candidate, let there be a talent show some time ago, there is a mentor Zhao Junhao in it, try it, he is a well-deserved little fresh meat, and he seems to be a child star debut, and his acting skills are also perfect.
Also, the last princess of the Qing Dynasty gave our own artists a chance, I think the Su Yingxin you just signed is good, although she only has a little role in a TV series you gave her before, I think she is a good seedling, cultivate it well, and the feeling she gives me is very consistent with Princess Qinglin's pure and lovely appearance, you can try to cultivate her to follow the pure jade style. Other supporting roles, you can look for them yourself, the acting skills must not be too rubbish, if it is remarkable, there is a lot of room for improvement, you can try, it doesn't have to be a big name. Auditions are important.
As for the male protagonist, I don't think there is any candidate in my heart for the time being, you also think about it yourself, not necessarily if you are in the circle, but you must be able to roar the male protagonist's aura. You draw up the list and then bring it to me.
As for your parents, don't show any rumors, wait until the personnel are confirmed, and make an official announcement directly. When the time comes, it is useless for parents to oppose it, once it is officially announced, if we regret it, isn't it equivalent to slapping the Mu family in the face! Mu Qingyao calmly arranged.
She took a sip of the cappuccino, letting the sweet, slightly bitter sensation creep through her mouth.
"Sails, hoops! What are you two talking about upstairs? Mom and Dad are back, come down. "Mrs. Mu—oh, it's Qingyao and Jinfan's mommy, Ye Wanting shouted upstairs in the hall amiously.
"Oh, here we are." Mu Qingyao replied loudly, quickly closed the laptop, pulled his brother's wrist and walked downstairs.
Downstairs, I saw my beautiful mommy, she held a simple and elegant bun, wearing an elegant blue sleeveless cheongsam, embroidered with a faint blue lotus pattern, the neckline and skirt are locked with delicate white edges, because it has been early autumn, the weather is slightly cool, she put on a silk shawl of the same color and style, the whole person is like a tranquil and beautiful blue lotus.
Ye Wanting, as a century-old scholarly family, the only daughter of the Ye family, has received a good education since she was a child, she has elegant behavior, gentle temperament, rarely loses her temper, and her own temperament is very consistent with this cheongsam, and she is a noble lady of a famous family at a glance.
Mu Qingyao hadn't seen her mother for a few days, so she happily threw herself into her mother's arms and coquettishly.
Mu Yizhe on the side smiled helplessly and said, "Jiji, when you saw your mother, you forgot about my father, right?" I'm going to be sad in that case, and I'm not going to buy you any more gifts! ”
"No, don't you still have a brother with you?" Mu Qingyao smiled at Mu Yizhe and said.
"Okay, okay, you two, one of you has to live in school because of school, how good it is to go to school, you can go home every day; One is busy with the company and wants to move out, how good it is to be at home. Forget it, the children are older and have their own opinions, and it is not good for us to watch them go their own way. Mu Yizhe looked helpless.
"Okay, Dad, I'll come back every week from now on, isn't that okay? I'll come back once a Wednesday, and I'll pick up my sister every Friday afternoon, and then I'll stay at home for two days, okay? Mu Jinfan expressed helplessness at his father's childish agitation.
"Well, that's pretty much it, otherwise, I'm bored at home every day. However, Fan'er, when will you bring a daughter-in-law back to your mother, you are not young anymore, you see, Gu Zichen, who is the same age as you, married Li Qingjin of the Li family last year, no, a few days ago, it was just found out that Qingjin was already pregnant, and it has been more than two months. Ye Wanting pursed her lips and asked.
"Really? Gu Zichen is going to be a father? I'm going to be a godfather to his son! Mu Jinfan said a little excitedly, but his kind of flashing gloom still didn't escape Mu Qingyao's eyes.
"You kid, can't you give birth to one of your own? What a godfather! Mu Yizhe pretended to be serious and said.
"Oh, Daddy, Mommy, don't talk about your brother, my brother has a girlfriend, his family background is good, but he is a little young, don't ask, I'll bring you back soon." Mu Qingyao raised her eyebrows at Ye Wanting and Mu Yizhe.
However, Ye Wanting did not have the expected surprise, she raised her eyebrows, and asked with some concern: "I heard that Jing Huiyan, the stepdaughter of the Jing family, seems to have that kind of mind for Fan'er, I have met that girl a few times, she is a scheming person, I don't like her very much, don't tell me it's her." ”
"Don't worry, Mom, my brother's eyes are not so rubbish, you have to believe him." Mu Qingyao picked up a glass and poured some water into the kettle.
"But Tingting's girl is hard, I like that girl, when she was a child, she always liked to stick to your brother, your brother's impatient temperament, but also patient with her, I thought that in the end Fan'er would come together with her. Tingting, I have no mother since I was a child, and I have watched her grow up until ...... Alas, the affairs of their family are too complicated, I still want to match Fan'er and Tingting in the future, but I didn't expect Fan'er to already have a girlfriend. Ye Wanting said with some regret.
Mu Qingyao had just taken a sip of water, and when she heard her mother say this, she almost squirted out, and Mu Jinfan was also a little surprised, and looked at Ye Wanting with a surprised expression.
Mu Qingyao was so excited that she choked herself, and said while wiping the water on her lips. "Ahem, Mom, don't you think their family is complicated? Aren't you afraid that your brother will marry Tingting back, and others will make fun of our family for marrying an unobtrusive daughter-in-law? ”
"Afraid of what? Your mother and I like Tingting very much, if anyone dares to make fun of us, our Mu Group will bankrupt him in minutes. Mu Yizhe took over the conversation domineeringly.
What's the situation? Why don't you follow the script? According to her analysis, shouldn't her parents be very opposed?
Mu Qingyao's face showed a capital bewilderment, let's call it Mu's bewildered face for the time being.
"Mom and Dad, let me be honest with you, don't be surprised, my girlfriend is Tingting." Mu Jinfan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and confessed.
"Haha, we actually knew for a long time, today is just to explore your old bottom, I also want to know when you plan to confess to us, at the beginning, the problem that Ji Ji said, your mother also took it into account, and it was indeed very entangled, and later, we thought, the children are older and have their own ideas, since they dare to do this, they must think comprehensively." Mu Yizhe smiled heartily.
"Mom and Dad, I won't tell you anything, I also reminded me today, and I just thought of it." Mu Jinfan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Only Mu Qingyao looked confused in laughter......
