Chapter 19: Where the Soul Is (Subscription Requested!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
Lulina stared at her phone in a daze, a little surprise between her eyebrows...... Xu Qiansu doesn't usually contact her, although the two occasionally chat on Line, but that's all.
Calls came out of the blue...... After all, it can't just be a matter of saying hello.
Is there something to ask me for?
Lulina felt a little dissatisfied in her heart, thinking that Xu Qiansu would only think of me when she needed my help...... It's irritating.
Be sure to put on a face later, and let him know that I'm not willing to help with just a few nice words...... I'm not Sonya's stupid girl, and I'm not Joey in Pokémon Center, I depend on him for everything.
She held the cold soda bottle in both hands, cleared her throat after making up her mind in her heart, wiped her wet little hands with her coat, picked up her mobile phone, pressed the listen button, and said calmly in a pretending cold voice: "Xu Qiansu? Why did you call all of a sudden? ”
"I'm looking for your help." Xu Qiansu's voice came from behind the phone, and his tone was as usual.
Lulina's little hand holding the soda bottle tightened subconsciously, thinking that you guys are really welcome, since you want to ask me for help, then you should also speak softer, a little more earnest, right?
I don't even ask how I've been doing lately, whether I've eaten, whether I'm happy or not, and I'll just get down to business...... It's irritating.
But Lulina was also a little curious, how could she help him?
You must know that Xu Qiansu has a large group of people around him, Gadelia, Ma Li, and Joey...... It's all great to have one of them.
Obviously, they are here, but Xu Qiansu actually came to ask for my help...... Hey? I'm still very powerful~
Lu Lina couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, but she still used a cold and calm voice, and simply said 'um' before slowly asking, "What's the matter?" ”
"Are you interested in making movies?"
"Movies?" Lulina frowned slightly, remembering the words of the secretary just now.
If she wants to say whether she is willing or not, she is naturally unwilling...... After all, she also knows that she doesn't have that ability, and she doesn't want to cut the leeks of her fans.
"Yes, I want to make a movie, and I want you to participate." Xu Qiansu didn't say much, straight to the point, and expressed his heart directly.
Hearing this, Lu Lina's little brain was so smart, and she instantly thought that Xu Qiansu wanted to take advantage of her fame.
Isn't this just trying to cut vermicelli leeks?
The smug joy in Lulina's heart suddenly vanished, and she became even more annoyed, there were more people who wanted to take advantage of her fame, and there were countless people who threw tens of millions of dollars for this...... It's not a little superficial.
As a result, Xu Qiansu is the same as them!
Therefore, Lulina snorted coldly and said bluntly:
"Xu Qiansu, don't blame me for my ugly words, but you disappointed me too much...... You say that you are not short of money, you don't care about prestige, and you don't have a bad social status, what do you do when you make movies? I also want to use my name as a gimmick......
…… I'm telling you, don't think that if I treat you as a friend, you can do whatever you want, instead of doing this kind of self-inflicted thing, it's better to train your Pokémon well, improve your strength as a trainer, and don't think that if you defeat me, you will be able to dominate in Galar......
…… As a trainer, in the final analysis, you can't do without the word strength...... There are countless people who are stronger than me, and you can't be complacent because of this......"
Before the words fell, Lu Lina suddenly paused, thinking to herself, yes, what is Xu Qiansu doing in movies?
With Gadeliya, he has no shortage of money and social status, and he himself is not a person who cares about prestige, otherwise he would have taken advantage of the popularity of Yuanzhu City to participate in various competitions, speeches, and live broadcasts......
So what does he do with movies?
Could it be that he has a movie dream in his heart? Want to fulfill your dreams?
Thinking of this, Lulina's heart suddenly burst into the bottom of her heart, broken, and she was impulsive...... I substituted Xu Qiansu into those capitalists who were full of interests.
If it is a picture of money and fame, then Lulina will definitely not want to get involved in this matter, but if Xu Qiansu just wants to fulfill his dream, then as a friend, don't say support it, but at least you can't scold him like this......
Lulina suddenly felt full of guilt, and couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and scratch her smooth side face, but she heard Xu Qiansu's voice from the phone,
"It's true, I want to make movies, not for any money and fame, but it has nothing to do with ideals......
Ideal...... Xu Qiansu, that guy doesn't even know what I'm thinking at the moment?
It's a waste of talent for such a smart mind not to focus on fighting against each other.
Lulina silently took another sip of soda, and then only listened to the soda 'grunt'...... She silently spit the soda in her mouth into the bottle, then took a sip and spit it out, and so on.
Eventually, she took the soda bottle, the mouth of which parted from her pink lips, making a soft 'pop' sound, and she whispered, "Speak straighter, don't blame." ”
"Feeling guilty? Then come and help me. ”
"You're being polite to me." Lulina slammed the soda bottle on the table, her tone finally stopped pretending to be flat, and her breasts were so angry that she wondered if the swimsuit would just collapse.
"As long as you can participate, the conditions are good." Xu Qiansu said with a smile.
Lulina's chest rose and fell for a while, before she snorted coldly, "Why do you want to make a movie?" Tell me more. ”
"The town of Nails has not been like that, I want to make a movie to promote it simply, and for this I need to use your fame." Xu Qiansu said briefly.
"Propaganda ......" Lulina suddenly realized, she clasped her hands together and patted it gently, became serious, and reminded: "Even if it is propaganda, there must be something that can be promoted, what is there in Spike Town?" ”
Lulina thought about it for a moment before she said uncertainly, "Non-mainstream punk? ”
That's the only thing Lulina has of Spike Town.
"You'll find out later."
"What, that's your attitude of begging?" Lu Lina took a few deep breaths, thinking to herself, why is this guy Xu Qiansu always angry with me?
"I just have a rough idea, I can't say for sure at the moment."
Only then did Lulina calm down a little, and pondered a little seriously.
Jianding Town is Ma Li's hometown, Xu Qiansu wants to help Ma Li revitalize the town, it is understandable, and she should help as a friend...... But she really can't act.
When the time comes, with cutout-like acting skills, how can you be worthy of those fans who like you?
Lu Lina's eyebrows furrowed tightly, so refuse Xu Qiansu?
This...... Lulina is well aware of her influence, and whether she participates or not may be related to the success of this plan......
If you refuse, you will have to work for a few months in vain......
Lulina hesitated.
Bang bang bang.
The secretary knocked on the door and reminded her, "Miss Lulina, it's time to continue taking photos......"
"Let them wait." Lulina replied calmly.
The secretary had doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he left silently.
After sending the secretary away, Lulina looked sideways at the wall inside the room...... It's covered with her portraits.
Each photograph is a work of art...... But that's about it.
Dozens of photographs are literally carved out of a mold.
"It's okay if you're busy with work at the moment, just call me back when you're ready." Xu Qiansu reminded.
Lulina sighed lightly before saying, "...... I agreed. ”
She then added: "After all, I also need to break through, whether it's a trainer or a model......
"Thank you." Xu Qiansu thanked him happily.
Lu Lina couldn't help but pick up the soda again and took a sip, which was somewhat useful, so that Xu Qiansu's annoying guy owed herself a favor, and sincerely thanked him, it was so comfortable.
After a while, she said, "What about the script?" Send it to me. ”
"There's no script yet."
“……”
Lulina was silent for a moment before asking, "What about the subject matter of the movie?" ”
"As you can imagine, it's not settled yet."
Lu Lina stood up directly, a little angry, thinking that Xu Qiansu was so unreliable, "You can't entertain me?" ”
"After all, Miss Lulina is the key, and whether or not you participate in the film is seriously related to the creation of the film, so I came to you without any preparation." Xu Qiansu replied unhurriedly.
Lulina blinked, sat down silently again, gently grabbed her hair with her other hand, and said calmly, "You can still say a few good words...... In that case, you're ready to prepare the script...... When you're done writing the script, you'll be able to contact me again. ”
"Thank you." Xu Qiansu thanked him again, then remembered and asked, "What about the salary?" With your worth, will it cost 2.08 million for one day of shooting? ”
"Salary?" Lu Lina thought to herself, 2.08 million a day is not too little, but she is not short of money, what is the point of asking Xu Qiansu for a salary?
Instead of asking for money, it is better to let Xu Qiansu owe himself favors, and he is always ashamed of himself.
Thinking of this, Lulina couldn't help laughing, and then quickly closed her mouth, and after a while, she said in a voice that did not fluctuate: "They are all friends, what kind of salary do you want...... But I can't do nothing, I can't help for nothing...... Well, you wait for me to think about it, and I'll tell you when the time comes. ”
"Okay." Xu Qiansu agreed quite simply.
Lu Lina waved her little hand with a 'planned' look, she said this just to emphasize that Xu Qiansu owed herself, but she didn't really want to make any requests.
After all, she has everything that Xu Qiansu has, what can she want Xu Qiansu to have?
Tuta money? Tu his room? Tuta Pokémon? Or figure his girlfriend? Figure his body?
Are you kidding.
As soon as she thought that Xu Qiansu would always owe herself a favor, she felt a sense of comfort that she couldn't help but say.
finally took out a breath of evil anger at that time in Shuizhou Town.
When she hung up the phone, Lulina picked up the soda and realized that she had drunk it all.
She threw it in the trash, then pushed the door and left, saying to her secretary, "Today's work is cancelled......
The secretary held the file and looked stunned, Lulina was a true workaholic, how could she do it if it was not necessary?
So the secretary worried: "Are you not feeling well?" Why don't we go on vacation to Alola and relax? ”
Lulina was a little moved, it was true that she hadn't been to Alola for a long time, but in a blink of an eye, she didn't explain too much, just said simply: "From now on, I will spare four hours a day to learn acting...... You go to a teacher with good acting skills. ”
After that, Lulina sighed lightly, she is the owner of the gym, a model, and a learner...... How hard will you have to work in the future?
Go and indulge in a few cakes today.
Thinking of this, she gently threw out a Poké Ball, released a Menas, straddled her back, and said simply, "I'll go rest first." ”
With that, Menas left the cruise ship directly with Lulina, leaving the staff with wide eyes and confused faces.
Only her secretary froze in place, and after a while, she jumped off in place excitedly, "Miss Lulina actually listened to my opinion!" This! This ......"
Spike Town.
"Promised?" Maria's mother stood beside Xu Qiansu and asked sideways.
Xu Qiansu nodded slightly.
Maria's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, Xu Qiansu was able to really convince Lulina to help, which was a bit unexpected for her.
"That's not good, Xiaoxu...... It's not a good thing to be liked by women too much. Maria said with a smile.
Xu Qiansu smiled, and then quickly pursed his mouth.
Maria blinked.
Xu Qiansu replied, "I understand, so I often restrain my smile...... In fact, this is what Miss Mary asked of me. ”
Hearing this, Maria couldn't help but laugh, "I'm afraid that my sister will like you?" I'm very confident~"
"Besides, Miss Marley is going to kick me out of Spike Town."
Maria was amused by Xu Qiansu again, and after a while, she shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "Go back, otherwise Ma Li will probably be jealous." ”
Xu Qiansu was noncommittal...... He really didn't want to talk to this mother, who looked too young, unless he had to.
Maria glanced back at Nie Zi and asked, "Go back together?" ”
Nie Zi scratched the back of his neck with a look of fear of trouble, thinking that after he went back, he would definitely be taught a cold lesson by Ma Li to not dress up so non-mainstream...... It's too much trouble.
Therefore, Nie Zi pointed at Xiaoyou, "No matter how you say it, I am also the master of the Dao Pavilion...... It is still necessary to fulfill its duties. ”
Xiao You's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he couldn't help but nod his little head, "Mmmmmmmm ”
"Whatever you want."
Xiao You and Nie Zi simply came to the battlefield.
Xu Qiansu and Maria walked side by side, walking towards Marly's house.
Maria's pace was not fast, and her walking posture was graceful, so Xu Qiansu had to slow down and follow her.
Spike Town is deserted, with only a clutter of neon lights that can't help but shine in a colorful light.
There was silence between the two.
Maria didn't speak, and Xu Qiansu naturally didn't speak.
After a while, Maria slowly spoke, "I won't interfere with your thoughts, whatever you want...... But this matter, whether it is successful or not, it will make you work hard...... What do you want? ”
Xu Qiansu shook his head...... What does he want? Naturally, it's Miss Marry, but it has to do with Marly's will, and Maria, even if she is her mother, can't be the master.
Maria glanced sideways at Xu Qiansu, then lowered her gaze, glanced at his shadow, and then asked, "Your dream demon...... What's going on? ”
"Dream demons?" Xu Qiansu was slightly stunned, what could the dream demon do?
The dream demon also floated out of Xu Qiansu's shadow, circled around Xu Qiansu, and then tilted his little face and looked at Maria with Xu Qiansu.
Maria looked at the dream demon carefully, her light green eyes showed some thought, and then she looked at Xu Qiansu and asked, "Have you come into contact with the Night Demon Spirit?" Or is it a crystal lamp? ”
"I've never seen it." Xu Qiansu shook his head and replied honestly.
"Yes." Maria retracted her gaze, looked ahead, and said slowly, "My husband died when I was pregnant with Marie. ”
Xu Qiansu's eyebrows were frivolous, and she was a little unsure why Maria suddenly mentioned Maria's father...... He listened silently without saying a word.
"Thanks to this, I was in a trance at that time, and my state was extremely bad, and when I gave birth to Mary, I went with the flow...... Dystocia. ”
Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at Maria.
Maria thought appeared between her eyebrows, and then she said slowly:
"It was February, and I was in the Snowfield...... It was also snowing heavily that day, so I had to give birth alone in a wooden house...... It turned out to be a difficult birth...... Marie had briefly lost her vital signs...... Just when I thought Marie would die because of my negligence, my Night Demon didn't know what to do, and with a few swings in the air, Marie regained her heartbeat until the Flame Horse brought the Medic back to save her life. ”
Xu Qiansu frowned, recalled the legend of the Night Demon Spirit, and then said, "What do you mean...... Soul? ”
Maria bowed slightly, but saw a night demon emerge from Maria's shadow, staring at the dream demon with a red single eye.
The dream demon frowned, thinking that this big man looked at her like this, it was strange.
Maria waved her hand gently, and the Night Demon obediently sneaked into her shadow again, and she smiled at Xu Qiansu, "Maybe Marie was timid and cried when she was a child, and it has something to do with it...... But the soul is really unpredictable, and there is not a single study on it in the academic world. ”
Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at the dream demon.
The Dream Demon looked back at him as well, and then the Dream Demon stepped forward and licked his face.
Even though the Dream Demon is a ghost-type Pokémon, the touch she brings to Xu Qiansu is also warm and moist.
Maria seems to have just shared an interesting story about Mary when she was a child with Xu Qiansu, and she just said one sentence and said no more.
The two of them returned to Marly's house and pushed the door open, faintly hearing a soft sound from the kitchen.
It seems that Marie and Lilia are still preparing dinner.
In front of the living room, the lily root doll that buried his calf in the soil and held the rhizome as a potted plant cast his eyes at Xu Qiansu, and then pulled out his calf from the soil, jumped on the floor, and ran towards Xu Qiansu while shouting 'sunshine, sunshine'.
The corner of Koga's ninja frog's eyes twitched, and he took out a towel, splashed his palm, soaked the towel, and then lay down to wipe the floor that the lily doll had stepped on.
It sighed lightly in its heart, thinking that it was Zoroa again, and it was a lily root doll again, how could Xu Qiansu always accept this kind of Pokémon that had no combat power and was strange......
Xu Qiansu squatted down and stretched out his hand to the lily root doll.
But as the lily root doll ran, she saw a leather ball in the cupboard.
She stepped on the footsteps, turned around again, and didn't want to hug Xu Qiansu...... She climbed onto the couch, took a few steps back, and then jumped hard, leaning on the handle of the cupboard, and slowly pulling the cabinet door open with the strength of her body.
Then she jumped down again, climbed onto the couch, jumped hard, and got into the cupboard.
Xu Qiansu stood up helplessly, but heard a few soft sounds, and a ball bounced on the ground a few times, and finally hit his calf.
Xu Qiansu looked back, the lily root doll was separated from him by a sofa, his expression was curious and excited, and he couldn't help waving his little hand, "Sunshine, sunshine~"
Xu Qiansu sat down cross-legged, picked up the ball, and gently threw it at the lily root doll.
The lily root doll's eyes lit up, her little hands clenched, and then she closed her eyes and used her head to push the ball thrown by Xu Qiansu.
The ball slid through a parabola, but it was smashed in the direction of the TV.
The Koga ninja frog was about to catch it, but he saw Xu Qiansu stretch out his hand, as if the breeze was blowing, and the light blue wave guide force blew the ball back in his direction.
Xu Qiansu held the ball in both hands, smiled, and threw it at the lily root doll.
"Sunshine, sunshine~" The lily root doll pushed the ball with her head again, and grinned at Xu Qiansu.
In this way, after Xu Qiansu came back, he played with the lily root doll for two hours.
