Chapter 226: Ambush on all sides
Staff: "What track are you going to play?" ”
Lu Zhou's eyes fell on Gao Ting'an, who was chatting and laughing with the guests not far away.
"Since it's a birthday gift for Mr. Gao, there will be no surprise if you say it in advance."
Lu Zhou replied with a smile.
The staff in charge of this piece feels reasonable, and if Lu Zhou can replace the vacant performance position, it will of course be the best.
He thought that this method seemed feasible, but for the sake of safety, he decided to ask the person in charge of a higher level, so he went to find Xiao Wu, the assistant of Mr. Gao, and told him about it from beginning to end.
"Today's performance, except for Lu Zhou's piano music, which was specially requested by Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao did not ask for any other repertoire, since Lu Zhou can play, he still plans to give Mr. Gao a gift, let him substitute."
"Is it difficult for a guzheng to pop up any different tricks? Someone can play, as long as there are no mistakes, the basic level can be guaranteed, and whoever plays is the same. ”
Mr. Gao's assistant Xiao Wu responded.
So the staff in charge of the performance team went back to arrange and readjust the order of the performance.
Lu Zhou was originally the finale piano performance, but because he agreed to substitute the performance of the guzheng, the staff moved the guzheng project to the end.
The scene of the banquet hall is becoming more and more lively, and many guests have come.
There are two people whispering and chatting, and there are groups of three or five drinking and chatting, and there are people in the upper business community.
Zhang Chen has been looking for an opportunity to wander around Ye Mingzhe, looking for an opportunity to warm up with him.
As a result, Ye Mingzhe seemed to be a sociatic, and he could chat with anyone for a while, but Zhang Chen was stunned and didn't find a suitable opportunity to interrupt, but he was depressed.
Zhang Chen wondered if Ye Mingzhe would do it on purpose.
He almost wanted to run away in a bad mood.
Who really wants to be close to your Ye family? What kind of arrogance?
That's right, I just went to a top female artist in country R without being angry after the end of the show, so what? Who doesn't have a physiological need anymore?
As for it? Just this bit of, the Ye family felt that they were offended?
Ye Fangfei doesn't take this seriously, Ye Mingzhe, the eldest brother, is quite good at holding grudges for so long.
Made, the title of "Pet Sister Maniac" really describes him correctly!
If it weren't for my father's desire to see me ease the relationship between the Ye family, I would be a fart for you Ye Mingzhe!
If it weren't for a good backer in your family, our Zhang family would have surpassed you! What a mess.
Zhang Chen couldn't help but scold in his heart.
But no matter how much he scolds in his heart, Zhang Chen has to admit a fact, at present, the Ye family can suppress the Zhang family, and his father really hopes to have the opportunity to reach a real deep cooperative relationship with the Ye family and continue to grow bigger and stronger.
And he has grown so big, he has no other ideals, and the only way to go is to be praised by his father, to be favored by his father, and to catch up with the two eldest brothers and become the second pillar of the Zhang family in his father's opinion.
Then he must make up for the hole he had poked because of his negligence.
He and the Ye family will definitely not be able to marry, but he can't turn the relationship into an antagonistic relationship, he has to find a way to repair this relationship.
After the analysis, the anger in Zhang Chen's heart decreased a lot.
Finally caught Ye Mingzhe at this time, Zhang Chen hurriedly walked in front of Ye Mingzhe with a wine glass in his hand, ignoring the three-seven-twenty-one first, and then touching the glass.
"Eh, Brother Mingzhe! Long time no see. Zhang Chen greeted with a grin.
The wine glass Ye Mingzhe was holding was touched inexplicably, and he was stunned, and then slowly turned his eyes to look at Zhang Chen who suddenly appeared.
His expression was not smiling, he looked a little serious, and the eyes that swept over had a hint of awe, which made Zhang Chen feel a little uncomfortable at that moment.
Fortunately, this stare did not last long.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
Ye Mingzhe's tone sounded kind.
When Zhang Chen heard it, eh? Isn't this the opportunity? There is no need for him to take the initiative to take the initiative to substitute for this topic!
"It's the same old thing, I'm just busy working on some small projects, oh, by the way, Fang Fei and I recently collaborated on a film project, which has been launched."
He laughed and said that he thought he was cutting through the message he wanted to convey quietly.
Sure enough, Ye Mingzhe didn't know about this, his eyebrows raised, and he was a little surprised, "Really?" ”
Zhang Chen nodded and began to pretend to be forked, "It seems that Fang Fei didn't tell you?" ”
Ye Mingzhe glanced at Zhang Chen twice and asked: "Fang Fei has never been interested in the film industry, why did she suddenly invest in this kind of project, whose movie did you vote for?" ”
"Lu Zhou's." Zhang Chen almost blurted out, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words: "The movie is directed by Director Wang He." ”
But the word "Lu Zhou", Ye Mingzhe has already heard it in his ears.
A smile flashed in his eyes, I see.
"I didn't expect you two to become a couple instead, but instead became business partners." Ye Mingzhe said.
Zhang Chen saw that Ye Mingzhe's complexion was much softened, and his aura was not so oppressive, so he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his lips and smiled: "Yes, Fang Fei and I are really an adventure." ”
Ye Mingzhe didn't respond, took a sip of wine, and caught a glimpse of an acquaintance elder two or three steps away, frowned slightly, and then greeted with a smile: "Uncle Chen!" You're there. ”
As he spoke, Ye Mingzhe patted Zhang Chen's arm and said, "Since you and Fei Fei can become partners regardless of their previous suspicions, I can't say anything more, let's talk about business, I hope you can be more steady." ”
"I'll go talk to Uncle Chen." After speaking, Ye Mingzhe walked away.
Of course, Zhang Chen could hear the hidden meaning of Ye Mingzhe's previous words, obviously warning him euphemistically not to show up the impulsive behavior that damaged their Ye family's reputation before.
Anyway, the relationship is not so stiff anymore.
Zhang Chen had no intention of socializing with the elders around him anymore and ran to the leisure area.
However, the scene between him and Ye Mingzhe was of course also observed by his two eldest brothers, and it also fell in Gao Ting'an's eyes.
They didn't hear what Zhang Chen and Ye Mingzhe were talking about, but seeing that Zhang Chen was smiling throughout the communication, Ye Mingzhe's face was also peaceful, and there was physical contact at the end, as if the relationship was quite close?
When Gao Ting'an saw this scene, his eyes gradually sank.
Once the guests have arrived, the banquet officially begins.
Ye Fangfei ended her polite entertainment and returned to Lu Zhou's side, and Zhang Chen had already run over to be Lu Zhou's companion.
As soon as she approached, she heard Zhang Chen say: "What kind of monk banquet is this, didn't I say it, Gao Ting'an is really boring, you should find more beautiful women to participate in your birthday, what's the point of just inviting a group of big men to chat here......"
Ye Fangfei: "Do you think that everyone is like you, and you think about beautiful car models every day......
Zhang Chen: "??? ”
Inexplicably remembering the misunderstanding again, Lu Zhou couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Chenle was happy, "What man doesn't like to worry about this?" I really don't think about it at all, so it's a bit of a problem. ”
Lu Zhou: "......"
Ye Fangfei obviously didn't like his argument, frowned, and scowled, "It's okay if you say you, don't represent all men." ”
The corners of Zhang Chen's mouth trembled twice, he glanced at Lu Zhou, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Forget it, I still won't give you a detailed science popularization." ”
Ye Fangfei was a little annoyed when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Lu Zhou, as if she wanted him to say something.
"......" Lu Zhou inexplicably wanted to give Zhang Chen a kick.
"Let's get down to business, shall we?" Lu Zhou diverted the topic and said to Zhang Chen.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chen asked.
"I think today's occasion is quite like a business place, why don't we also talk about business at the right time." Lu Zhou said with a smile.
Zhang Chen's expression became vigilant, "What do you have in mind?" ”
Ye Fangfei was distracted by the content of their chat, stared at Lu Zhou with a puzzled expression, and said in her heart that he wouldn't want to fool Zhang Chen into investing in him again, right?
Inexplicably, she wanted to laugh a little, why did she faintly feel that Lu Zhou seemed to have been playing Zhang Chen's idea of the treasury?
Why? She didn't know either.
Lu Zhou's voice sounded: "There is a relatively blank market, we have opened up the situation, and we currently want to make additional investments in the hope of quickly occupying a large share of the market, I don't know, are you interested?" ”
He made a temporary decision, he wanted to talk to Zhang Chen openly on Gao Ting'an's territory.
"What market?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Junze and I are cooperating in a short drama project, the progress is good, the shortcomings are funded, if you are interested in making a little money, do you want to invest in us?"
"Will you make sure I'm sure?"
"You also have to take some risks as an investor, this time I can't give you absolute protection, you can evaluate it yourself, and if you think you can enter, if not, then we will find a way to attract other funds."
"Skit...... How big is the market? ”
"It's not big, it's estimated to be tens of billions of dollars, it depends on how many giants will share the cake in the end, we are currently the first, but it is estimated that it will not be long before large and small competitors will emerge like spring after a rain."
"Do you have a good project case for me to see?" Zhang Chen was interested.
He knew that Xu Junze and Lu Zhou were cooperating on a project, and once their company opened, he also went to participate, but at that time, he learned that he was an Internet celebrity company, and he felt that there was nothing new, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
When I listened to it today, I realized that it was a skit I made??? It was a far cry from what he had learned.
Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone, opened the short video of Doule and searched for it, and then opened a short drama video and handed it to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen took it and glanced at it, stunned.
"Isn't this Li Jiayan?" He looked at Lu Zhou with a stunned expression.
As soon as his voice fell, a strange feeling flashed in Ye Fangfei's heart, and she leaned over and glanced at it with a frown.
"......" Lu Zhou pursed his lips and said, "It's her, she is now an Internet celebrity actor who has played a relatively good game in our short drama works under our new film culture." ”
Ye Fangfei: "?! ”
After Zhang Chen knew this information, his eyes widened slightly, "In other words, you are now Li Jiayan's boss?" I'll go, if you want to say that you can play flowers, or you Lu Zhou can play flowers. ”
Lu Zhou: "......" He didn't bother to explain now.
Ye Fangfei's face was not very good-looking.
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked down curiously at the skit on his phone.
"It's not...... Can this kind of drama be popular? Is the data so explosive? You brushed it, right? ”
After Zhang Chen watched the short video, he asked questions from the depths of his soul.
Lu Zhou took the phone back and said, "You are not the target user, so you can't understand why it is popular." But the fact is that this kind of short drama is popular, and we have more than one or two recent hits, and the ROI is not bad. ”
"If you're interested, we'll talk about it then."
Lu Zhou could sense that Ye Fangfei's mood was wrong, but he didn't plan to take care of her at this time, because the current environment didn't allow him to do so.
The banquet officially began, Gao Tingan knocked on the wine glass to attract everyone's attention, and then began a birthday speech of his own.
During the banquet, everyone cheered and toasted.
A friend who has a good relationship with Gao Tingan took the lead in creating an atmosphere of congratulations, and the scene was quite lively.
It was at this time that the show that I was invited to perform began.
Accompanied by music, guests chatted while eating, so happy.
There are songs specially prepared by the orchestra for the birthday atmosphere, and there are also solo performances by well-known musicians in the circle.
The performer's seat is different from the rest of the guests' seats.
Even if Zhang Chen and Ye Fangfei sat together with Lu Zhou and chatted before, they were separated later.
Zhang Chen and his brothers sat together, and Ye Fangfei also returned to his brother.
The dishes are very rich, and the top chefs serve the meals, but Ye Fangfei has no appetite at all, and her mind is now full of Lu Zhou's signing of Li Jiayan under his cooperative company.
She ate absent-mindedly throughout the whole process, and even when Lu Zhou appeared to play the piano, she was indifferent.
Ye Mingzhe saw that something was wrong with her mind, and asked her what was wrong, and Ye Fangfei lifted her spirit and replied, "I'm thinking about work."
"If you have something urgent at work, you can go first." Ye Mingzhe reminded her.
These words were heard by Gao Ting'an, who was sitting at the same table, and he smiled gently, "Fei Fei has work to do, right?" ”
Ye Fangfei looked up at Gao Ting'an, she was already in a bad mood, and when she heard him say this, she suddenly had the idea of leaving early.
Lu Zhou doesn't need her, he is quite suitable for this occasion, what kind of money he makes, who to cooperate with, it seems that he has already planned it himself, she sometimes really eats radishes and worries lightly, and is afraid that he will be inferior and uncomfortable on this occasion, so he took the time to come here......
In retrospect, she was a lot of extraordinary.
She was a little angry at the moment, so she simply went down the steps and said to Gao Ting'an: "Yes, there is something urgent for the moment, Brother Ting'an, I'm sorry, I may have to leave halfway." ”
"In such a hurry? Don't you go after watching Lu Zhou's performance? Gao Tingan looked at her with a smile, asked smugly, and saw how she reacted.
"Nope." Ye Fangfei replied with a smile.
Gao Ting'an nodded and said, "Okay, the work is important, if you have something to do, go and get busy first." ”
Ye Fangfei cleaned up and got up to leave.
But before he reached the door, there was a sudden rush of guzheng sound in his ears.
"Zheng Zheng!"
Ye Fangfei's heart shook with the sudden sound of the piano, and she suddenly stopped.
Who played it?
She was attracted to the attention and looked back at the performance stage, only to find that it was Lu Zhou who was no longer on the piano at some point, and he was sitting in front of the guzheng at this time, raising his arm to make two powerful splits on the strings.
The next piano melody is very urgent, and it becomes more and more urgent, as if every string he plays is on the heartstrings of people, with a warning of danger, which makes people nervous with the music.
After the tense sound of the piano, the tune changed and became softer, as if someone was secretly discussing the layout, step by step.
The rhythm in the middle seems to have a bit of joy in singing and dancing, and the previous tense atmosphere dissipates, as if the previous uneasiness was just an illusion, and everything is peaceful.
But an almost low whine began again to hint at some danger looming over him, but it was not at all noticeable, low to almost silent, followed by a few short spurts.
Then the tone changed to a strong one, and the strings jumped rapidly, and suddenly there was a hurry, a hint of sorrow, and danger was coming, and it was approaching, as if it were covering from all sides, and choking the throat.
Then came a struggle, a fierce resistance. In the end, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
It's over.
The original noise of the scene suddenly stopped from the moment the sound of the piano began.
Is it a delusion that the audience's attention is focused on the direction of the stage at some point? This song seems to have an indescribable murderous aura......
Gao Tingan sat in the banquet, staring at Lu Zhou on the stage with his eyes, and after savoring the whole song just now, the beating of his heart was still obvious.
It's really interesting, this song has obviously been suffocated with nervousness several times, but why does he feel so cool when he listens to it?
Because it is like telling a story, in which the enemy is surrounded step by step until he is suffocated with no way out, but it gives him an invisible pleasure!
What a song, what a song!
At the silent banquet scene, Lu Zhou got up and looked at Gao Ting'an under the seat, and broke the silence with a smile:
"A whim improvised, it should be a birthday gift I gave to Mr. Gao today, I don't know if I like it."
Gao Ting'an looked at Lu Zhou with interest, and then a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he took the lead in applauding.
"It's a very interesting tune, I don't know what this piece is called?" He asked.
Lu Zhou: "I haven't had time to name it yet, does Mr. Gao have any good suggestions?" ”
Gao Ting'an took a sip of the wine glass, with a seemingly nonexistent smile on the corner of his mouth, he pondered for a few seconds, and then the corners of his lips curled up under the gaze of everyone.
"Why don't you call it 'Ambush on All Sides', what do you think?"
Lu Zhou stared at him, and then smiled, "Ambush on all sides...... It's quite appropriate, let's call it "Ambush on All Sides". ”
"You're very talented, and I enjoyed your performance today." Gao Tingan stood up and raised his glass towards Lu Zhou on the stage.
The bartender was very discerning, and immediately sent a glass of wine to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou left the guzheng position, raised the wine glass and saluted him in the air, raised his head and drank half a glass, and caught a glimpse of Ye Fangfei's departing back in the afterglow.
It shouldn't be even worse tomorrow, so let me know in advance.
